Analysis of Micah Parsons Trade
00:01:50
Bhupen
Preseason is in the books, right? Offseason is the book. Drafts is in the book. Season is starting. You can smell the season today. Just want get a good temperature check at where you guys are.
00:02:01
Bhupen
Chris, let's start with you.
00:02:03
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, you know, I've been thinking about this for ah quite some time. The Micah Parsons trade really got me. um You know, ah i was feeling good. i was feeling real good.
00:02:17
Trio of Positivity
and then I got really upset. you know, I just I don't know what.
00:02:21
Bhupen
No, that's fair.
00:02:22
Trio of Positivity
I don't know. It was pretty. It was pretty huge news. Miller, what what do you have? What? it What? What? a
00:02:26
Bhupen
What an original take. Yeah, Miller, what's your thought?
00:02:28
Mike
Can we expand? I mean, I'm just curious what, what your feelings were going to bring you back. Did you get some reminiscing? Um, did you want to join the Packers because the bears don't want want you anymore? Like where's your fandom lie at this point?
00:02:40
Trio of Positivity
No, I mean, you know, there's there's a lot to go through. That's such a loaded question early on in the podcast. I'd hate to take up 15 minutes to give my answer to something like that.
00:02:51
Mike
What about the trade? What did you think of the trade? Did you like the trade?
00:02:51
Bhupen
I mean, it won't be the first time.
00:02:51
Trio of Positivity
So,
00:02:55
Trio of Positivity
full disclosure, Miller and I did have a conversation. We did share some thoughts. And after everything went down, I think we both agreed that
00:03:02
Mike
All right.
00:03:06
Trio of Positivity
It seemed okay. um i think some people are still upset in Dallas about what happened and how it went down. um The agent was on first take and kind of the didn't confirm a lot of stuff.
00:03:22
Trio of Positivity
ah He did deny a couple things about how everything kind of went. um I think the money seems right. um
00:03:32
Mike
No, it doesn't.
00:03:33
Trio of Positivity
Why not?
00:03:33
Bhupen
I mean...
00:03:34
Trio of Positivity
Why not?
00:03:34
Mike
You think he should get paid $6 million dollars more annually than the next best non-quarterback?
Fun Game: NFL Stadium Beer Prices
00:03:42
Trio of Positivity
I mean, it happens all the time.
00:03:45
Mike
Not for that position.
00:03:45
Bhupen
He was...
00:03:47
Trio of Positivity
TJ Watt's going to be next.
00:03:47
Bhupen
He's got pain.
00:03:48
Mike
He just got paid. He got 41.
00:03:50
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, he's going to be...
00:03:51
Mike
think my Miles Garrett got like 40 and then TJ Watt got like 41.
00:03:52
Trio of Positivity
He's going to be on...
00:03:57
Mike
And Chase was in there too.
00:03:57
Trio of Positivity
Right, and it gets higher.
00:03:57
Bhupen
Usually...
00:03:58
Bhupen
you No...
00:03:58
Mike
The fact that he's getting five plus, yeah, but not by $5 million dollars annually.
00:03:59
Trio of Positivity
it gets higher after every year.
00:03:59
Bhupen
no
00:04:05
Bhupen
Yeah, it does reset the market, but $5 million does look like a big jump. But, I don't know, Packers were in it, right?
00:04:09
Mike
It's a big jump.
00:04:12
Bhupen
They were giving two firsts, so they were like, hey, we need to secure the bag, and they did. and So did Micah Persons. I thought it was very unlike Packers move, but that being said, they don't usually go for free agents, right?
00:04:26
Bhupen
That being said, they don't draft wide receivers in the first round either, which they did this year. So, hey, maybe it's a new Packer organization, but ah Shipping ah like a locker room leader kind of guy.
00:04:37
Bhupen
Maybe not in the stats, but definitely in like the, um you know, the way the word gets thrown around. The leader of the locker room. that That was interesting. Very non-packer move too, in my opinion. and
00:04:49
Mike
Well, they the Dallas Cowboys, they needed to stop the run.
00:04:54
Bhupen
right.
00:04:54
Mike
the only way they're going to do that with this big boy in the middle.
00:04:57
Bhupen
i
00:04:57
Mike
They can't do it with Micah Parsons. So that's a big...
00:04:59
Bhupen
thank Thank you for that or original take, Chris. Miller, where what are your thoughts at for the preseason?
00:05:05
Mike
So my thoughts are of just the entire Bears organization and just top to bottom how amazing they are.
00:05:15
Trio of Positivity
Right, right.
00:05:18
Mike
And how we're all running on the same page. We're always doing everything correct. And just, it's just sunshine and rainbows with
Chicago Bears Season Predictions
00:05:28
Mike
the Chicago Bears.
00:05:28
Bhupen
ah but Awesome.
00:05:29
Mike
That's that's my takeaway.
00:05:31
Bhupen
ah Awesome. Awesome. I love this podcast. so This should be a book about what happens behind the scenes. Um, I don't have, like, quite like, reflective takes as both of you did.
00:05:44
Bhupen
was just drafting last couple of days, and it was, like, the days of the Cowbell running backs maybe, like, coming to an end. Like, most of the running backs, like, you know.
00:05:55
Mike
Oh, it's like someone's brought this up before. ahead, you can continue.
00:05:58
Bhupen
Um. Oh, thank you. Thank you so much. But a lot of running back rooms are crowded, unclear who the lead back is. I think we'll get into it in a minute towards probably the end of the show. But the rookie running backs who are making all the noise and listed as like the third string and fourth string people. That was also interesting. But lots of uncertainty for fantasy drafts when you're trying to like you know, secure certain number points, you know, get get those studs in your team.
00:06:28
Bhupen
That wasn't as easy this year. just like something I noticed. I don't know if this is like injuries, you know, people are probably injured themselves against that. Look at Detroit, right? Very different running backs, Jimmy Gibbs and Montgomery, and they complement each other, and that's how they're used. So,
00:06:46
Bhupen
That might be the future we're heading into. Definitely probably good news for the running backs overall and how they get involved in the game, but probably bad news for fantasy heads like me. Any thoughts there?
00:07:00
Mike
I mean, that's fair. think it also has to do with the strong running back class and what? What is there? Four? Playable? Four or five playable rookies at the running back position that are highly drafted.
00:07:13
Bhupen
true. Yeah, that was good.
00:07:14
Mike
So, yeah that's going to cause chaos because you don't know what their role is at the beginning.
00:07:15
Bhupen
Yeah.
00:07:20
Bhupen
Yeah, Chris, for your drafts tomorrow, if you need any advice, let us know.
00:07:24
Trio of Positivity
Oh, no. Miller's doing my draft tomorrow, so I'm not worried. Got the second pick and we are not doing keepers. So.
00:07:30
Mike
Oh, that sucks.
00:07:31
Bhupen
All right.
00:07:32
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, so Chase might be gone.
00:07:33
Mike
Why did they change that?
00:07:34
Trio of Positivity
I don't know. It was a vote and I didn't show up for the vote because I wasn't feeling good. And. Yeah, majority said not to do keepers, so.
00:07:41
Bhupen
They vote it.
00:07:44
Mike
and don't like the way you guys did keepers anyways.
00:07:44
Bhupen
Wow.
00:07:48
Mike
It's dumb. You should have changed it.
00:07:48
Bhupen
All right.
00:07:51
Trio of Positivity
I mean, I'm the one that helped create the one you're doing with the auction style. That seems to be working very well.
00:07:57
Mike
I'm aware. It is.
00:08:00
Bhupen
Yeah, I think there's and there's an award on your honor in that league.
00:08:04
Mike
There is. Last place.
00:08:08
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, because some people don't like the way I do business. I do business the right way. I tank to get better picks.
00:08:15
Mike
I thought you were going to say you tariff. We can move on now. Yeah.
00:08:19
Trio of Positivity
Wow, we're going political. Interesting.
00:08:23
Trio of Positivity
um Before we get started, there was this one game I wanted to play with you guys last week that I did not get a chance to do. So um yes, I can watch this.
00:08:31
Mike
You don't get to come in after missing last week you and pretend it's last week.
00:08:36
Trio of Positivity
So last week ah there was a post by bet MGM that came out stating the price of beer at every NFL stadium. So I have two questions. No, I have three questions for you boys.
00:08:52
Trio of Positivity
What team is the least expensive? What team is the most expensive and where does Chicago lie in the rankings? Yeah.
00:09:03
Bhupen
cheapest with Falcons.
00:09:04
Mike
Okay, cheapest is Falcons.
00:09:06
Bhupen
Yes.
00:09:07
Mike
Most expensive is Vegas.
00:09:09
Bhupen
I was going to Rams.
00:09:10
Mike
It was one of those two were on the same wavelength.
00:09:11
Bhupen
Vegas. so
00:09:13
Mike
And then the Bears are going to be seventh.
00:09:16
Bhupen
Like smack dab in the middle. $14, $15 beer. like, yeah. Top 10. That's what I'm...
00:09:21
Trio of Positivity
So you're saying 14 is what the Bears prices.
00:09:21
Bhupen
I'm going
00:09:24
Trio of Positivity
That's what kind of you're thinking.
00:09:25
Mike
I think the Bears are 16.
00:09:26
Bhupen
to
00:09:28
Trio of Positivity
16. according to MGM, the cheapest beer is the Cincinnati Bengals.
00:09:35
Bhupen
Oh.
00:09:35
Trio of Positivity
Six dollars and 80 cents. The most.
00:09:38
Mike
So the but the Baltimore Ravens just took that title. They just updated their concessions and it's $4.99 for a beer.
00:09:46
Bhupen
Oh.
00:09:47
Trio of Positivity
Oh, really?
00:09:47
Bhupen
own
00:09:48
Mike
Yeah.
00:09:49
Trio of Positivity
Well, on this list, hold on.
00:09:49
Bhupen
Wait, where's the Falcons?
00:09:51
Trio of Positivity
Let me find the Ravens. were
00:09:51
Mike
That just dropped today.
00:09:54
Trio of Positivity
Okay. So on this list, the Ravens were 14th with 1099.
00:09:59
Mike
It just dropped. they're They're doing a special. They have like 11 items for under five.
00:10:04
Mike
And I personally thought having a beer under $5 is a horrible decision for an organization.
00:10:04
Trio of Positivity
Oh, that's pretty good.
00:10:10
Trio of Positivity
They'll probably limit to like one per person instead of two.
00:10:12
Mike
You can't limit you fucking idiot. They can't limit that.
00:10:16
Trio of Positivity
Yes, you can. They used you can only buy two per person and then you go back and buy another two like you can do two at a time.
00:10:17
Mike
you can't. Plus.
00:10:24
Mike
Oh, I thought you meant like one per person per game.
00:10:27
Trio of Positivity
No, they're going to do one per transaction, most likely.
00:10:31
Mike
No, they're not. They're going to do too
00:10:33
Bhupen
ah Okay, where do the Falcons rank? Because most Miller and Ryder thought they were the cheapest.
00:10:38
Trio of Positivity
So the Falcons are four, five, six, seven, eight cheapest at eight fifty.
00:10:43
Bhupen
Oh, wow. So just food is cheap? Drinks are not?
00:10:48
Mike
That sense.
00:10:48
Trio of Positivity
I guess, again, um the most expensive on this list is the Washington Commanders at $16.49.
00:10:58
Mike
Fucking new ownership.
00:11:00
Trio of Positivity
Next in line is the Raiders at
00:11:04
Mike
We're close. I was close.
00:11:12
Trio of Positivity
top fifteen of most expensive They are $7, $8, $9, $10. They are $12 $11.25.
00:11:22
Bhupen
There's more X-Men.
00:11:23
Mike
doesn't That doesn't seem right.
00:11:25
Trio of Positivity
That's exactly why I brought it up.
00:11:25
Bhupen
Do they like...
00:11:27
Trio of Positivity
That's why I wanted to hear. I was on the boat of like $15 maybe. But I think it's because we tip.
00:11:32
Mike
see.
00:11:34
Trio of Positivity
So because there's a tip in there, i think our minds...
00:11:37
Bhupen
oh There's no $11 is like, maybe they take into account like the soccer games and shit like that that happens there.
00:11:42
Trio of Positivity
But you put in it, you give them a 20, 20. Oh no. Hold on. You ask for two beers. That's going to be 22, five. You give them 30 bucks. Keep the change. Yeah.
00:11:52
Mike
I don't give them $8 for fucking tip. You're just fucking popping the cans, bro.
00:11:56
Trio of Positivity
What do you do then?
00:11:59
Mike
Fuck that.
00:12:00
Mike
$25. didn't say I did tip.
00:12:00
Trio of Positivity
you don't tip.
00:12:02
Trio of Positivity
Oh.
00:12:03
Mike
I don't think I can give them $8 for just popping open fucking can that I can do myself.
00:12:08
Bhupen
$1.50 per can. $1 per can.
00:12:10
Trio of Positivity
Jesus. I don't know.
00:12:12
Bhupen
not when're We're not balling like you, Chris.
00:12:13
Trio of Positivity
I thought I just started bawling. But I will say i I laughed and I was like, I have to talk to these guys about the prices. So kind of glad that you brought up Baltimore.
00:12:26
Trio of Positivity
Also, i found out today that apparently you can rent a suite in Baltimore to host your fantasy football.
00:12:33
Mike
I heard that. Yeah.
00:12:34
Mike
I watched that. Yeah.
00:12:34
Bhupen
And it's very affordable.
00:12:35
Trio of Positivity
That's got to come to Arlington Heights with the Bears, right?
00:12:35
Bhupen
It's like.
00:12:37
Mike
It's like, it's a grand. No, it's not going to come to Arlington Heights.
00:12:39
Trio of Positivity
That has to happen. What do you mean?
00:12:42
Bhupen
and they They should.
00:12:42
Trio of Positivity
the bears If the bears don't do that, they should.
00:12:45
Bhupen
They won't. They should.
00:12:45
Mike
You're not going to do that.
00:12:47
Bhupen
It was like 60 bucks per person, guys, for like add a sweet. You can eat.
00:12:50
Mike
It was a, it was a grand, it was basically a grand to do it. Yeah.
00:12:53
Mike
And it was all you can eat, all you can drink.
00:12:53
Bhupen
yeah but like.
00:12:55
Trio of Positivity
All you can eat, all you can drink, you get your own board.
00:12:55
Bhupen
Yeah.
00:12:57
Trio of Positivity
That's a steal.
00:12:57
Bhupen
Five hours. Heck yeah. And you get to walk the stadium to.
00:13:00
Trio of Positivity
All
00:13:02
Bhupen
We get to walk the stadium and everything. That was an accurate deal. There's only one day, though.
00:13:06
Trio of Positivity
right, but that's what i that's what I wanted to bring up, so now we can actually get into
00:13:06
Mike
Okay. Let's
In-Depth: Chicago Bears Schedule and Matchups
00:13:10
Trio of Positivity
the show.
00:13:11
Bhupen
All right. We got a packed show.
00:13:11
Mike
the entertaining portion.
00:13:14
Bhupen
We got a packed show. We're talking Chicago Bears schedule. We're talking about the game coming up, Monday Night Football. And we are talking about some fantasy nuggets.
00:13:24
Bhupen
Most drafts are probably, you know, wrapping up, if not in the books. Looking forward to week one, some injuries, too. look out for and maybe answer some questions there. Oh, people are working on the agenda.
00:13:35
Bhupen
I love this. I love this. All right. Starting off, this was a hit last year. So we're bringing it back. We're going be predicting the bears, um, schedule, win loss records going into the year.
00:13:48
Bhupen
We keep track of this.
00:13:49
Mike
So chalk.
00:13:49
Mike
chalk
00:13:49
Bhupen
Most, most of the tear, uh, we keep, we keep track of it and kind of, you know, bring it back, talk about it some more later in the year.
00:13:57
Bhupen
So it's a good starting point here. So without a further ado, boys, let's go. The Bears are kicking off the season. Monday Night Football versus the Vikings.
00:14:09
Bhupen
Chris, since you are the undecided vote here, what do you think? The Bears, do they pull the dub?
00:14:15
Trio of Positivity
Given what I saw this preseason, think the Bears are going to start slow. So they are losing against the Vikings.
00:14:25
Bhupen
right. Miller, you want to go next?
00:14:29
Mike
Win.
00:14:31
Bhupen
All right. i
00:14:31
Mike
Not very confident on said win.
00:14:34
Bhupen
ah We'll preview the game in a minute. We'll probably talk about it in more detail. I also went with the win. um You know, we'll talk about it in a minute. Second week, another divisional game. We're at Lions in the second game.
00:14:47
Bhupen
Chris.
00:14:50
Trio of Positivity
It's another loss for our Bears.
00:14:53
Bhupen
it's It's a clean sweep. Lost all around for all three. A good Ben Johnson return.
00:14:59
Mike
Ben Johnson's gonna be feeling all the emotions, you know, and he's just gonna go through, he's gonna have a slip up, and then it's out of our hands.
00:15:07
Bhupen
All right. All right. So Miller and I have them at one-on-one. Chris at own two. The third week brings us to the Cowboys. They're here playing with us.
00:15:17
Trio of Positivity
All right. i want to hear, because I see what you guys are predicting. I am 50-50 on this, so convince me to take a side.
00:15:27
Mike
No! Take a fucking side.
00:15:30
Trio of Positivity
No, convince me.
00:15:31
Mike
No, i'm not going to fucking convince you.
00:15:33
Bhupen
I'll go. I'll think. Okay.
00:15:34
Mike
look
00:15:35
Bhupen
So. um With Micah Parsons gone, it's a slight downgrade to their defense. They pretty good D-line, I think, even without him. But that's a slight decline.
00:15:47
Bhupen
In my opinion, we are hitting them at a good time. There's some things up in the air on the Cowboys. Our offense will probably pick it up by hand, be in a good, steady rhythm.
00:15:59
Bhupen
i think it will be a high-scoring game because both defenses sort of suck, at least on the back end of the defense, in my opinion. So... probably win something like that.
00:16:10
Trio of Positivity
Okay. Miller, you don't want to
00:16:12
Mike
Nope, that's all you get. You get to use that to decide.
00:16:15
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, I'm 50-50 because don't know if it's going to be like an offensive show where the defense do nothing and we just get a bunch of points.
00:16:25
Bhupen
um Let me help you.
00:16:25
Trio of Positivity
um
00:16:26
Bhupen
We get to embarrass Evert Floos.
00:16:29
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, we're losing. That's a loss.
00:16:31
Bhupen
Wow.
00:16:32
Mike
loss. um I think it's going be an offensive showdown. and I don't know that the Bears can compete an offensive showdown.
00:16:42
Bhupen
Alright, I'm the lone win that week.
00:16:43
Mike
I could have got you to be a loss so easy. All i have to do is say loss and you're like, yep, agreed. Fucking Bears hater. He'll be a Packers fan.
00:16:54
Bhupen
Next week.
00:16:54
Trio of Positivity
i'm ah I prefer a Pitt fan.
00:16:57
Mike
No, you're a Bills fan.
00:16:57
Bhupen
Next week.
00:16:59
Trio of Positivity
No.
00:17:01
Mike
You're not a Pitt fan. No one's on Pittsburgh anymore. Fields is in New York and Trubisky's in Buffalo.
00:17:01
Bhupen
Wait, you're up.
00:17:08
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, but Pitt's always been my AFC team.
00:17:11
Mike
Since Trubisky, you fucking idiot.
00:17:11
Bhupen
Okay.
00:17:12
Trio of Positivity
as That's a lie. That's a lie. It's been the Colts.
00:17:16
Bhupen
Alright. This conversation will go on, but next week we are at the Raiders.
00:17:24
Bhupen
Miller and I have decided. We say we get the job.
00:17:26
Mike
It's a win. we get a win there. Make a two and two before the bye week.
00:17:30
Trio of Positivity
That's a loss.
00:17:33
Bhupen
Jesus. and four, Chris?
00:17:36
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
00:17:37
Bhupen
wow. Spirits are not high in that room. um I have him at 3-1, so let's go. What can go wrong?
00:17:46
Mike
And Brian has a minute four and oh, we know.
00:17:50
Bhupen
ah ah Commanders, next week, we're at Commanders. Chris, you get to start off.
00:17:57
Trio of Positivity
That's a win.
00:17:59
Mike
Revenge game, baby.
00:18:00
Trio of Positivity
Revenge game.
00:18:00
Mike
Caleb's going to come out, put up 404 TDs.
00:18:03
Trio of Positivity
I think this might be Caleb's best game of the year.
00:18:07
Bhupen
Okay, wow.
00:18:07
Mike
i can see that
00:18:09
Bhupen
Wow, both of you. Hi, I love it. um Again, i think a lot of people are saying the commanders, you know, had the touch last year. They're thinking they'll be slightly lower. I feel like offensively they have tooled up and more than they were last year. So I don't see them slowing down, at least on the offensive side.
00:18:31
Bhupen
Maybe it's a close game. Maybe you guys right. Caleb will ball out. But I feel like Jin Daniels is dangerous. Maybe it'll be close at the end and they'll just pull it off at the end. But I don't see us winning at Commander's.
00:18:43
Trio of Positivity
That division is also going to be one of those things where it's like, can the commanders keep up with the Eagles to kind of maintain? Or is there another team like the Cowboys that could possibly sneak in there? Like that's, that's the only thing where I'm kind of like hesitant with commanders kind of being that team.
00:19:01
Trio of Positivity
But they, they did kind of, they, they paid a couple of players and you know, the, the wide receiver situation is kind of taken care of. So
00:19:11
Bhupen
Yeah, Devo's there this year. um
00:19:13
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
00:19:13
Bhupen
That should help. um Running back, slightly more questions. But next week, where Saints come to town, taking on the Saints.
00:19:16
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
00:19:23
Trio of Positivity
I love that someone put a W before I said W, but yes, it's going to be a W for the Saints.
00:19:23
Bhupen
I hope this is a clean sweep.
00:19:30
Bhupen
It's possibly the worst roster in all of NFL. So if we don't win this game, heads got to roll.
00:19:36
Mike
Especially at home, yeah.
00:19:39
Bhupen
All right. This is probably another clean sweep on the others away. We have at Ravens the next game. Miller and I being realist that we are say it's a loss.
00:19:53
Bhupen
Chris. All right, we're on the same page last two games, boy.
00:19:53
Trio of Positivity
That's a loss.
00:19:58
Bhupen
Can we keep it going? Next game, we're on the road still. We're playing the Bengals this time.
00:20:06
Bhupen
We do.
00:20:06
Mike
Losses.
00:20:09
Bhupen
All right. Hey, the boys are on the same page. Can we keep it going? Four in a row. Giants come to town. We take them.
00:20:17
Trio of Positivity
That's a win.
00:20:17
Bhupen
Can our offensive line hold up against that pretty awesome defensive line?
00:20:23
Mike
I mean, if you look at this starting in the schedule, it's not awful. Like versus the Vikings at home is probably the best case scenario for the Vikings because they have the rookie quarterback.
00:20:35
Mike
They're coming to our building and we get to play them right out the gate before he can get comfortable. Obviously, the at the Lions, the next game isn't that ideal. But, that I mean, having the Cowboys in our own house is better than being there, right?
00:20:48
Mike
The Raiders, being at Vegas isn't the greatest thing. But, I mean, it's Vegas. It's the Raiders. they're not going to have They don't have that home fandom yet.
00:21:00
Mike
So that's decent. And then at Commanders is like the one game that's like shitty. You wish it was in our building. But then you have the Saints. That's at home. So that should be an easy W. And then the Ravens are like the best team in the NFL. So it doesn't really matter where we play. We're probably going to lose.
00:21:16
Mike
So it's good that that's an a away game. And even the Bengals, too. It's good that that's an away game, too. So, I mean, the start of the schedule isn't awful. At least the teams that you should beat will be in your own building that hopefully you can complete that win.
00:21:29
Trio of Positivity
I agree with that. I think the one game that we could possibly steal could be the Bengals. um But I don't but I don't feel like this Bears team.
00:21:35
Mike
I could see that.
00:21:39
Trio of Positivity
And I don't know if you guys will agree or disagree. I don't feel like this Bears team right now. Maybe we'll see during the season is equipped to kind of have those like. Do you have confidence for them to win a 50 50 game?
00:21:53
Trio of Positivity
The strength of schedule is still pretty.
00:21:54
Mike
You're just a fucking hater, dude.
00:21:56
Trio of Positivity
and Brother.
00:21:56
Mike
Get it through your fucking head.
00:21:58
Trio of Positivity
How's that a hater? Explain
Bears vs Vikings Game Preview
00:22:00
Trio of Positivity
how that's a hater. What's the bare strength of schedule again?
00:22:03
Mike
It's probably one of the highest, but that's because we're we have like, we have six games against teams that won 13 games in our division.
00:22:04
Bhupen
What do you just
00:22:11
Trio of Positivity
And how's that me being a hater?
00:22:11
Mike
Like, because the strength of schedule is tilted because of that last year.
00:22:12
Trio of Positivity
if the and If other people are saying...
00:22:19
Mike
It's a hater because you automatically think the Bears suck.
00:22:22
Trio of Positivity
And you don't.
00:22:24
Mike
No.
00:22:26
Trio of Positivity
So what's suck? Let's define suck.
00:22:30
Mike
Well, yeah, I mean, let's keep going in this schedule.
00:22:30
Bhupen
add?
00:22:31
Bhupen
They can't.
00:22:33
Trio of Positivity
Okay, we'll keep going. I'll bring that back up.
00:22:34
Mike
I mean, you're sitting here and you're saying that they're not going to win a 50-50 game. You have them beating the commanders. How is that not – it's not a 50-50 game. So what where is your logic?
00:22:45
Trio of Positivity
i I said that's a revenge game. They're not. That's another Monday nighter. That's prime time. like That's a game that the Bears have to win, given what happened last year. There's no excuse to not win that game.
00:22:58
Mike
Whoa, whoa, whoa. That is not even close to the truth.
00:23:01
Trio of Positivity
Given how they lost,
00:23:03
Mike
This is a totally new regime, dude.
00:23:05
Mike
Come on.
00:23:05
Trio of Positivity
doesn't matter.
00:23:06
Trio of Positivity
Same quarterback was there, brother.
00:23:07
Mike
It's not a must win. When you go on the road, it's not a must win.
00:23:09
Trio of Positivity
Same quarterback was there, brother.
00:23:12
Bhupen
I mean, Caleb did everything to win that game. He didn't lose the game for us.
00:23:15
Mike
Not according to Chris.
00:23:16
Trio of Positivity
you You really don't think he's going to... I literally said that can that's going to be Caleb Williams' best game of the year.
00:23:21
Mike
Yeah, last year you didn't say what you blamed it on Caleb per usual.
00:23:26
Trio of Positivity
Actually, I didn't. We can go back to the clip.
00:23:31
Mike
We'll go back.
00:23:31
Bhupen
ah but
00:23:32
Bhupen
All right, we'll do it on a lot commercial break, which we don't have. so but So next game. of Wait, Chris, do you say win against the Giants? Just for the record.
00:23:42
Trio of Positivity
Mm-hmm.
00:23:42
Bhupen
All right, the boys, we've been on the same page last four games.
00:23:43
Trio of Positivity
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:23:47
Bhupen
That's huge. um We're at Vikings the following week. Divisional game, but away.
00:23:53
Trio of Positivity
That's a loss.
00:23:55
Bhupen
All right.
00:23:55
Mike
It's a loss.
00:23:57
Bhupen
Boys, five in a row.
00:23:57
Trio of Positivity
So this what I don't get. You guys, you guys have the Bears winning at home, but you have them losing away.
00:24:06
Mike
I just talked to you through it. The easier schedules at home.
00:24:06
Bhupen
It kind of
00:24:11
Mike
The harder schedules on the road.
00:24:11
Trio of Positivity
It's the same team.
00:24:13
Bhupen
also like like think of the rookie.
00:24:14
Mike
The easier schedules at home.
00:24:18
Bhupen
No, no, like us.
00:24:18
Mike
You fucking idiot. idiot.
00:24:20
Trio of Positivity
It's the same team.
00:24:20
Bhupen
No. Chris, the rookie is starting.
00:24:23
Mike
Oh, you're talking about the Vikings?
00:24:24
Bhupen
I mean, yes, the rookie is starting.
00:24:25
Trio of Positivity
Yes. Fucking idiot.
00:24:27
Mike
i already I already explained it like two seconds ago.
00:24:28
Bhupen
Yeah,
00:24:32
Trio of Positivity
go ahead, Boopin, before our idiot was disrupting us.
00:24:32
Bhupen
like.
00:24:34
Mike
My god.
00:24:34
Bhupen
No, like, basically, they're starting a rookie who has the world of upside and potential, but he's unproven in week one.
00:24:44
Bhupen
I'm assuming you people are this high on him by week nine, whatever this is. But, like, they figure it out. And it's, like, if he steps his game up, and we'll talk about it in a minute, like, the defense is probably going to be one of the best in the league. So, if he steps up, we lose the game away.
00:25:00
Bhupen
I don't think that's such a stretch.
00:25:03
Trio of Positivity
all right
00:25:06
Bhupen
But you also said a loss, so what's your reasoning? Why do why do you think you we lose?
00:25:12
Trio of Positivity
The Vikings are just a better team. There's no other way of explaining it. They're just a better team. They have one of the better wide receivers. Come on.
00:25:23
Bhupen
True. True. not not Not debating that. All right. The following week, the Steelers come to town. Aaron Rodgers, the ex-owner of Chicago Bears, comes to town.
00:25:35
Bhupen
And we hand him a L, cause we take the dub. You heard here first.
00:25:39
Trio of Positivity
I actually agree with you. We win that game.
00:25:42
Mike
We lose. He owns us, bitches.
00:25:46
Mike
Loss.
00:25:46
Trio of Positivity
He's just he just gave the short term lease to.
00:25:51
Trio of Positivity
To fucking.
00:25:51
Bhupen
Don't love.
00:25:52
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
00:25:53
Mike
is going to be his last hurrah on Soldier your Field. It's going to be a loss. He's going to go out.
00:25:53
Bhupen
No, no.
00:25:58
Bhupen
I hope we he leaves in such a stretcher. Ah.
00:26:02
Trio of Positivity
OK, we don't condone injuries here, damn it.
00:26:05
Bhupen
Yeah, just that guy, one guy. um The we play at the Eagles, the Super Bowl champs. I think that, like, you know, we were on the same page of five games.
00:26:19
Bhupen
The last game, there was a little disagreement. So I think this is a consensus loss across the board. Chris.
00:26:30
Bhupen
All right. The following week. The new owner of the Bears, John Love, comes to town. Sorry, we are there. It's at the Packers. It'll be a tough environment.
00:26:43
Bhupen
You know, the game's at the Packers, as always is. It's funny that usually this suit used to be the last game of the season for us. It isn't this year, but...
00:26:51
Mike
Well, it changes every year.
00:26:51
Trio of Positivity
Oh, one thing to point out, guys, that game against Philly is a Black Friday game.
00:26:53
Bhupen
Does it?
00:26:59
Trio of Positivity
So keep that in mind.
00:26:59
Mike
Doesn't matter.
00:27:03
Mike
It's a loss.
00:27:03
Bhupen
All right.
00:27:05
Bhupen
Good thing we will not waste our Sunday. Just the Friday.
00:27:08
Trio of Positivity
Brother, we're beating the Packers at Packers.
00:27:11
Bhupen
oh fuck.
00:27:13
Mike
We don't win 50-50 games though.
00:27:14
Bhupen
We
00:27:16
Trio of Positivity
But hey, what happened the last time we went to Green Bay? Am I right?
00:27:19
Bhupen
beat them.
00:27:20
Mike
We won.
00:27:22
Bhupen
All right. Undefeited in 2025, like I said.
00:27:25
Trio of Positivity
Ha ha ha ha.
00:27:25
Bhupen
um Cleveland is the next game. We are at their stadium. The dog pound.
00:27:32
Mike
No, we're at home, dude.
00:27:32
Trio of Positivity
No, we are not.
00:27:34
Trio of Positivity
We're at home, brother.
00:27:34
Bhupen
Oh, sorry. Thank you. Thank you for pointing that out. This sprite is hitting different today. ah Let's see.
00:27:45
Bhupen
Hopefully there's a clean sweep. I say win. All right.
00:27:49
Trio of Positivity
That's a win.
00:27:54
Bhupen
So the Packers are in town this time. I
00:27:58
Trio of Positivity
That is a flex game. But it just doesn't matter.
00:28:01
Bhupen
i mean...
00:28:02
Trio of Positivity
We're winning.
00:28:04
Bhupen
Alright, across the board!
00:28:05
Mike
It's not going to be flexed. It's a win.
00:28:10
Bhupen
Okay, now who's the hater now, but...
00:28:13
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, no kidding.
00:28:13
Mike
The Bears have, they're going have seven wins at this point. It's not going to get flexed.
00:28:18
Trio of Positivity
It's going to get flexed if the Packers are in the hunt for a division title.
00:28:21
Mike
No, it's not.
00:28:23
Trio of Positivity
Jesus, I hate...
00:28:24
Mike
unless the bears Unless the Bears have an outside shot of making the wild card, it's not going to get flexed.
00:28:32
Trio of Positivity
You really don't understand how flex works, but all right.
00:28:32
Bhupen
we will cross that bridge. We'll cross that bridge again.
00:28:34
Mike
Yeah, you flex in key matchups.
00:28:40
Bhupen
Alright. Nothing more to add there. The next game. At San Francisco. I'll leave it there. Voice. What you say.
00:28:53
Trio of Positivity
I've been giving my, you guys, you guys need to give answers here.
00:28:53
Mike
It's a loss. You're the only one we don't know. You're the wild card. You just make shit up as you go.
00:29:01
Trio of Positivity
Bears win.
00:29:03
Bhupen
Oh. Oh.
00:29:03
Mike
Like I you ago.
00:29:06
Bhupen
we ah Chris has on a four game winning streak.
00:29:08
Mike
They don't win 50-50 games. They just win most their games. They just win 50% of their games, but they don't win 50-50 games.
00:29:14
Bhupen
Alright.
00:29:18
Bhupen
Last game of the season at home. We're playing the Lions.
00:29:23
Mike
He's the first game winning streak.
00:29:27
Trio of Positivity
You guys know where I'm going, brother.
00:29:30
Bhupen
it It's a win. Chris is back.
00:29:32
Mike
a
00:29:32
Trio of Positivity
We're losing this bitch.
00:29:34
Mike
Bye.
00:29:34
Bhupen
Aww. I'd give it to you a W, buddy. i don't know. I think this will probably come close. Everyone's super high on the Lions.
00:29:45
Bhupen
My hot take was they don't win the division this year. you know They missed the playoffs is, I think, what I said. um So, I don't know. This could be close. Actually, if we win this game, on my end, at least it'll be 9-8 and above 500, but I put this as a loss. That's what seems to be the consensus across the board that Lions are still better than us by a little bit.
00:30:07
Bhupen
so Especially with that coach. I gave them. Gave us a loss. That. Puts. You know. The most positive person on this team.
00:30:17
Bhupen
About the Bears. Has them going 7 and 10. Let that be.
00:30:20
Mike
7 and 10, baby.
00:30:22
Trio of Positivity
Which I don't understand one fucking bit.
00:30:23
Bhupen
Let the record show.
00:30:28
Mike
Why?
00:30:29
Trio of Positivity
You're so high on this team and you have them at seven and 10.
00:30:34
Mike
We play in what will probably be the best division in football. We play in the two hardest divisions in football. ah I don't think they're, I mean, um I think they're going to improve.
00:30:49
Mike
but I don't think they're going to be ah playoff team.
00:30:55
Mike
I don't know what to tell you, dude. I don't think the bears are just going to snap magically to be this amazing team with Ben Johnson.
00:30:59
Bhupen
I,
00:31:02
Mike
It's just not going to happen. And if I'm looking logically, I think your schedule or your, your projection might be better than mine, because I think we're going to play a lot better towards the second half of our season than the first half of the season.
00:31:17
Trio of Positivity
That's how I have it. um So we can kind of talk a little bit more openly about this and then we'll jump into the game. um I think it happened with Goff where it was a back-end improvement and then we kind of saw the team go nuts.
00:31:33
Trio of Positivity
um
00:31:33
Mike
In subsequent years.
00:31:35
Trio of Positivity
Yes. um The one thing that I will say, and I don't know if you guys have been reading Twitter, I know Miller has, but it feels like this... oh
00:31:43
Mike
I'm so proud of you for calling it Twitter.
00:31:46
Trio of Positivity
I feel like this O-line is going to improve more the more we play. what
00:31:53
Mike
I completely disagree with you.
00:31:55
Trio of Positivity
So hear you hear me out though. And then, and then we can kind of talk a little bit more. Cause I didn't get a chance to talk last week about the last preseason game. Um, I think this this team early on is going to do whatever it can to protect Caleb and get the ball out of his hands.
00:32:12
Trio of Positivity
And I think as the season goes on you're going to see that playbook open up. um My eyes really opened up when I saw how Caleb was preparing that first preseason game where he didn't play and he was going through those snap counts like he was doing all of that.
00:32:29
Trio of Positivity
And it translated into week two. Like you can see how comfortable he was. Week three was a shit show, but then you can kind of...
00:32:37
Mike
It wasn't a shit show.
00:32:39
Trio of Positivity
What was the first play in week three?
00:32:41
Mike
Oh, so we're judging his total total performance on one play.
00:32:42
Trio of Positivity
Yes, we are. oh So...
00:32:44
Mike
Awesome.
00:32:45
Trio of Positivity
Well, two plays. But it's how you start the game.
00:32:47
Bhupen
First drive was pretty awful.
00:32:48
Trio of Positivity
And I think...
00:32:51
Bhupen
Like, I think Miller would have played it.
00:32:51
Trio of Positivity
Yeah. And that's what I was going to say. It's how you start... It's how you start that I think Caleb is going to be... Caleb is probably going to be like extremely well coached this season.
00:33:05
Trio of Positivity
And because of that, I do feel like there is going to be a surge on the back end. um But I think we're going to go through some growing pains. But as the growing pains go, I think the O-line is going to be ah a nice bright spot at the end of the year.
00:33:21
Trio of Positivity
And I agree. i don't I don't think we have enough to go wild card.
00:33:21
Mike
I don't... Yeah.
00:33:24
Trio of Positivity
I think there's so many other better teams. And the schedule did not help us out this season.
Improving Bears Gameplay: Focus on Offense
00:33:30
Mike
I personally think the offensive line issues are quite overblown. um I think the fact that we have solidified the every position except left tackle, I think that's going to make the offensive line outperform the talk because most of the talk in the offseason has been about this left tackle position. And yes, it's arguably one of the most important positions on the offensive line, but The fact of the matter is you still have an all-pro guard right next to that left tackle.
00:34:04
Mike
You have a left tackle that has starting experience that, by all consensus, is probably right about an average left tackle. He's not like a below average. There is some talk that he might be coming back from an injury, which could be um having some of the issues that he's having.
00:34:20
Mike
But you can also add, as we've talked about previously, the fact that Ben Johnson loves twelve are the two tight ends, so you can help a with a chip with the tight end.
00:34:31
Mike
So there's things that you can do to help the left tackle. So I think overall we're going to see a vast improvement from the offensive line, and I think it's going to hit from the very beginning. I think where it's going to be very stout, and pending any injuries on that offensive line, not on when we don't have any.
00:34:31
Trio of Positivity
Yep.
00:34:47
Mike
I think it's going to be a very good offensive line. I think everything comes down to the quarterback, and I think the quarterback's going to start slow, and I think eventually he should improve as he starts to learn the system more. So I do see slight improvement this year over last year, thus my 7 and 10.
00:35:01
Mike
Like you said, I don't think the schedule helps us at all, but I do expect a larger step to be made towards the end of the year as we end the season.
00:35:13
Bhupen
As I'm sitting here hearing you guys, like, I think, Miller, you made this point. Like, the improvement not only comes from the O-line getting basically interior being brand new, but I think it comes from um Caleb getting the ball out quickly.
00:35:26
Bhupen
That, like, reduces the pressure on them, his pressure on himself, right?
00:35:29
Trio of Positivity
Yes, sir.
00:35:30
Bhupen
Like, I feel like that goes a long way. Like, don't know where that other win will come. I actually want to change my record to 9-8. I say we go about 500 this year.
00:35:38
Mike
Of course you do
00:35:40
Bhupen
so So that way there's some like variance between all of us, right? We go from seven, eight and nine wins. So kind of like lays a table. So someone's going to be right at the end of the year. It's just going to be one person.
00:35:52
Trio of Positivity
But we are keeping in tradition of two of us seem to have the same record, and then one of us is the variant.
00:36:00
Bhupen
It's too high or too low.
00:36:01
Trio of Positivity
I have last year's predictions, and it was you guys having the Bears going 9-8 last season, and I had them going 8-9, where this time, Boopin and I have them going 8-9, and Miller has them drastically at 7-10.
00:36:01
Bhupen
Yeah.
00:36:15
Trio of Positivity
So I think, I think we're all on the same page of expectations. I will say though, the running back usage is, is what's going to kind of be, I'm trying to find the right analogy.
00:36:35
Trio of Positivity
I think we win big because we use our running backs and then we're going to die if we don't kind of situation.
00:36:40
Bhupen
i it's it's a hot take, but I think Swift is probably going to be, like, very undervalued, but he'll be one of those guys that wins you leagues this year.
00:36:41
Trio of Positivity
Um,
00:36:49
Bhupen
think he's going to be that well.
00:36:50
Mike
i don't I don't think so.
00:36:52
Bhupen
I think both cats...
00:36:53
Mike
We can talk about it later. we can talk about it later because Daddy has a segment about it. Okay?
00:36:59
Bhupen
All right, Daddy.
00:37:00
Trio of Positivity
I don't have one, but I wonder what you have.
00:37:04
Bhupen
You can scroll down.
00:37:04
Trio of Positivity
But just to kind of end and then we'll put this on a bow and then we'll we'll move on to the next segment. um Me personally, the 50 50 games that I was talking about um is Bengals. I think that can be a steal if the Bears play very well.
00:37:22
Trio of Positivity
um the Lions at the end of the year could also be another swing game. And the one where it's like, yeah, is the first game of the season.
00:37:34
Trio of Positivity
and Those are my three 50 50s that it's like.
00:37:38
Bhupen
That if the Bears win, they will convince you or that we will.
00:37:41
Mike
Literally the 50-50 games by looking at the schedule.
00:37:42
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
00:37:44
Mike
Are the Vikings the first game? I'll give you that.
00:37:47
Mike
Probably the Cowboys. Probably the ah at the, I don't know, maybe at the Bengals, depending on how fast they come out.
00:37:47
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
00:37:57
Trio of Positivity
yep
00:37:58
Mike
at the i And then probably versus the Packers at home and versus and at Francisco, maybe. Your 50-50 analogy was bullshit.
00:38:11
Trio of Positivity
I mean, I don't know why, since you have more 50-50 games than I do, but that's, you know...
00:38:15
Mike
Because your win-loss doesn't reflect your thought process.
00:38:19
Trio of Positivity
Neither does yours. You said the Bears are going to be great. They're going to do better, and you have them at 7-10. Yeah.
00:38:24
Mike
They did do better. Last year, they were or whatever the fuck they were.
00:38:27
Trio of Positivity
you
00:38:29
Trio of Positivity
Miller, you had him last year going 9-8. Right.
00:38:32
Mike
I know. I'm realist.
00:38:35
Trio of Positivity
the bright
00:38:37
Mike
and just i You're literally talking about things that I've already discussed. I don't feel the need to discuss it over again.
00:38:37
Bhupen
He is overcorrecting.
00:38:44
Bhupen
All right. Well, moving on, because this argument will never end otherwise. Let's move on to our matchup in week one.
00:38:50
Trio of Positivity
Oh, it'll end because he's wrong, but yes, continue.
00:38:52
Mike
Sure.
00:38:53
Bhupen
um
00:38:53
Mike
We'll wait until the end of the season. Who had the best prediction last year of overall during the season?
00:38:57
Trio of Positivity
I think I was spot on.
00:38:58
Mike
During the season?
00:39:00
Trio of Positivity
I think I predicted the correct record.
00:39:02
Mike
No, I believe I was like What are
00:39:06
Trio of Positivity
Yeah, but I was the correct eight and nine overall.
00:39:10
Bhupen
We were not 8 and 9.
00:39:12
Mike
you talking about? I
00:39:12
Trio of Positivity
I know that's I know I was trying to see if Miller would remember.
00:39:14
Trio of Positivity
go ahead.
00:39:15
Bhupen
Okay.
00:39:17
Mike
just said we had five wins.
00:39:17
Bhupen
Alright.
00:39:19
Mike
Fucking idiot.
00:39:21
Bhupen
Week 1. Monday Night Football. The 14-win Minnesota Vikings come to town to take on the 5-win, like Miller said, Chicago Bears.
00:39:34
Bhupen
We have the same quarterback. The quarterback Vikings had last year is starting games in Seattle. And they are starting a second-year player who technically didn't play on his rookie year. So that's the matchup, right? That's the setup of the game. Yeah.
00:39:50
Bhupen
It'll be very interesting to see what offense like gets the ground running will have an advantage in my opinion. But since, Samila, you did the heavy lifting here, I'll let i'll throw it to you.
00:40:01
Bhupen
um Set up the game for us, please.
00:40:04
Mike
Yeah, I can run through this really quick. Obviously, the story of the Minnesota Vikings is going to revolve around their quarterback, J.J. McCarthy. Like Boopin talked about, he has yet to play a real game last year. He tore what I believe is meniscus or maybe ACL, one of those two, in the preseason game last year.
00:40:23
Mike
And he was out the entire year. This team, like Chris touched upon earlier, is Very good. Probably one of the best rosters in the NFL at this at this moment.
00:40:35
Mike
But the biggest question mark is going to be the performance of J.J. McCarthy. Can he mimic or exceed what Sam Darnold did last year, which led them to a fourteen and three record?
00:40:47
Mike
Diving into the different squads or the different groupings, you have the offense. Again, it's elite. The wide receivers are no joke. Luckily for us, we're not going to have to face their number two wide receiver in Jordan Addison. He is suspended for three games, but we still have Justin Jefferson, TJ Hawkinson, old man Thielen.
00:41:07
Bhupen
Yeah.
00:41:07
Mike
he's going He was just recently traded to the Minnesota Vikings. um So the wide receivers and in the position, the wide outs, I should say, in the tight end are very elite there. the Their offensive line, like our offensive line, did have its struggles last year.
00:41:24
Mike
They blew their offensive interior offensive line up. They got two new guards and a new center. Ryan Kelly and Will freeze are Fries, whatever of his fucking name is, out of Indianapolis,
00:41:37
Mike
Those are going to be the center and guard, respectively. And then they drafted a guard in Donovan Jackson there. Running back room, you still have the Packers dynamite player of Adam Jones. Who knows how where how he's going to do. He is getting a year older. I think he's getting closer to 30 at this point.
00:41:52
Mike
And then they traded for the 49ers running back up running back last year that took the lead by store and Jordan Mason. On the other side of the ball, defense, again, elite. Their defense last year was one of the best in the league. They were top five in EPA. success rate for and They were top five in EPA and success rate allowed last year in 2024.
00:42:15
Mike
Their defensive line ranked fourth last year in pass rush and run stop, and they proceeded to add two defensive tackles, Javon Hargrave and Jonathan Allen.
00:42:26
Mike
Fortunately for us, they are a little older and they're coming off injuries, so they're a little bit of wild card. But with Brian Flores, they're ah their defensive coordinator is still at the helm. I was really fucking hoping that he would leave so we didn't have to deal with his ass anymore.
00:42:41
Mike
But with him still up there, the defense is still going to be elite. They did have the one knock that you can make is similar to what we did 2019 with the Chicago Bears.
00:42:52
Mike
is they did have a league-high 33 turnovers last year. So hopefully, maybe that turnover rate goes down a little bit. And we know we all know how that can change a season if you're not getting that high turnover rate. So we let's let's see.
00:43:09
Mike
Did he get 49 sacks? So I do think their entire roster is very good. The question being, what happens with J.J. McCartney? Weaknesses starts with McCarthy, ends with McCarthy.
00:43:24
Mike
The only other thing that I could scavenge was the fact that their secondary did lose three of their top 60 offensive backs, but they still have two young position players there that are going to help them on the back end. So we'll see.
00:43:38
Mike
Final thing to talk about here are the key matchups, and then I'll turn it over to you. Can Caleb continue his dominance, his domination of Brian Flores' defense? Overall, last year he put up about 500 yards.
00:43:53
Mike
550 yards, two and three touchdowns, zero interception in the two games that he played against the Brian Flores defense. Nothing to scoff at. We did go 0-2 in those games. One was a comeback where we pushed it to overtime based on his heroics.
00:44:09
Mike
The only knock that he really had in these games is he out you got sacked five times. um Other two key matchups. ah Will our defensive front show up?
00:44:22
Mike
Obviously... It's a tale of two games in the preseason. The Buffalo Bills, they were wrecking balls. And then in the Kansas City, they were stonewalled. So we'll see if they can score week they can turn up the heat on J.J. McCarthy because if they can't if he can just pick us apart, he's going to do so because they have one of the best offensive minds in football in Kevin O'Connell. So you've got to be able to make him uncomfortable back there.
00:44:47
Mike
And then finally, who will stop Justin Jefferson? Jalen Johnson, our number one cornerback. ah Pro bowler, he has been out this entire training camp due to a groin injury. He's practiced today, but we don't know his status.
00:45:04
Mike
And is he realistic to expect him to go from basically rehab to covering the best wide receiver in football? Who knows? So what's going to happen?
00:45:15
Bhupen
I mean. To. to
00:45:16
Mike
We'll figure it out. What do you guys got of it?
00:45:19
Bhupen
Talking about Justin Jefferson, he wasn't practicing most of training camp either. He probably came back a little before Jalen Johnson, but that's the thing. Like a rookie quarterback, right? Like timing, Addison being out, that's our advantage, like you said. Can our defense show up, shut them down? Because I feel like their elite unit is their defense, so that's something we have to navigate. If our defense can show up on the other side, then that's the advantage to us, in my opinion.
00:45:49
Bhupen
Chris?
00:45:52
Trio of Positivity
Um, well, after, uh, Miller reach climax, given, uh, some flowers there, um, I just, I'm, I, the more I hear about these matchups and the more that I'm like seeing it, I can't confidently say that this bears offense can be competitive week one.
00:46:15
Trio of Positivity
um
00:46:18
Trio of Positivity
it's It's the offense that's really the only thing that's drawing me, and that's why I'm 50-50 on this, because i could feel I do feel like the Bears could just go wild and have a great game, but then they could just like throw up a stinker and have like nine points because of all field goals from our captain ah kicker.
00:46:33
Trio of Positivity
um But I do agree there are some matchups there. um I'm intrigued how the tight ends are going to be used week one, too. um Do we see the rookie...
00:46:44
Mike
Hopefully like preseason game two and not like preseason game three.
00:46:47
Trio of Positivity
That's kind of where I was going to say it's like, you know, maybe we have some stuff assigned. was still a little bit torn. Like, is it always going to be a two tight end setup to kind of give Caleb more time?
00:47:00
Trio of Positivity
i think this week is really just going to be an offensive set week. um I think we are going to see how they're going to play. co Because, again, I think we all agree that the Bears are going to schedule their first couple plays to kind of.
00:47:12
Trio of Positivity
ah Get into rhythm. How much of that is going to be run? How much of that is going to be too tight and protection or whatever they decide to do and my all-time favorite will the Bears throw?
00:47:25
Trio of Positivity
two wide receiver screens at the first half I'm gonna go over. I believe the Bears will have
00:47:30
Mike
You can book that. You can book that, dude.
00:47:34
Trio of Positivity
I Believe the Bears will use the wide receiver screen so much this year. Ben is so excited about it, just like I am.
00:47:43
Bhupen
I mean like their defense is like very aggressive and one way you like slow them down is like that play so like I get it's been very unsuccessful and it has looked really bad but if done well that is a good strategy
00:47:56
Trio of Positivity
But also having a run game, though, I think this is the old. Can we all agree that this might be an Olin that we can have a decent run game?
00:48:03
Bhupen
at least on the interior side yeah
00:48:03
Trio of Positivity
Not great, but decent.
00:48:05
Mike
We better have a great... I said it after the draft, probably not in this podcast, but if this offense is in top 10, I would consider it a failure.
00:48:06
Bhupen
Yeah.
00:48:17
Mike
Because you've... mean Think about everything that has been invested in this offense. You got the coach. your You had two top ten picks last year.
00:48:17
Trio of Positivity
See, I'm not...
00:48:27
Mike
You had a top ten pick the year before in our right tackle. You have a second-round pick. You have another top ten pick this year in the offense.
00:48:37
Mike
Your other second-round pick was in – in the wide receiver. You traded for two guards. The amount of assets that were invested in this offense, if it does not produce a top 10 offense, it's a failure.
00:48:37
Trio of Positivity
You have cap.
00:48:55
Mike
I'm sorry. Now, maybe it might not be a top 10 offense this year, but maybe next year it will. But, I mean, you you you just can't keep investing, investing, investing, and keep getting a shitty product.
00:48:55
Trio of Positivity
So here's, here's.
00:49:06
Mike
Sorry, it's not good.
00:49:07
Trio of Positivity
Okay. So the only thing I want to kind of not necessarily, I don't want to say correct. Cause I, it's your opinion. So I'm not saying it that way. So if I, I don't know what word to use. I only have an associate's degree now.
00:49:18
Trio of Positivity
Um, We can't say that now, but we could have said that and we did say it last year. I think because of how many different coaches are in here and because of the expectations, I think top 10 is pushing it.
00:49:34
Trio of Positivity
I think last year we had.
00:49:34
Mike
Why can we say it next year last year?
00:49:36
Trio of Positivity
no. Well, because last year we had expectations that this offense was going to improve and they didn't.
00:49:41
Mike
Yeah, but we had expectations, but we they weren't realistic.
00:49:45
Trio of Positivity
No, they were very realistic.
00:49:45
Mike
like we still
00:49:46
Trio of Positivity
No, no, no, no, no.
00:49:47
Mike
No, they weren't. they all The offensive line was shit. They did not have the offensive line.
00:49:47
Bhupen
I mean, like, ah hang on there.
00:49:47
Trio of Positivity
no no no no no
00:49:51
Trio of Positivity
The hype around the hype around our wide receiver and Titan last year at the beginning of the season.
00:49:52
Mike
they just
00:49:55
Mike
Chris, you have to understand... the The hype wasn't around anything other than Caleb Williams. The Bears haven't drafted a number one quarterback ever, I don't think. So the hype was around Caleb Williams and what he could do.
00:50:07
Mike
That's where the hype started and that's where the hype ended.
00:50:09
Bhupen
Miller, I do have a question for you.
00:50:11
Mike
This year they just added so many pieces. How many starters did we bring in? We brought in what?
00:50:17
Mike
One, two, three.
00:50:17
Bhupen
Five.
00:50:18
Trio of Positivity
On both sides. On both sides of the field.
00:50:19
Mike
No, and on the offense.
00:50:21
Trio of Positivity
On the offense, I think it was like...
00:50:22
Mike
We brought three linemen.
00:50:24
Trio of Positivity
Well, four and a half if you want to call the tight end, too.
00:50:26
Mike
Three linemen, tight end.
00:50:27
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
00:50:28
Mike
No, you count the tight end.
00:50:29
Trio of Positivity
Four and a half.
00:50:29
Mike
And then maybe Luther Burden, four and a half.
00:50:31
Trio of Positivity
Yep. Yeah.
00:50:32
Mike
Four and a half starters on the offense. That's unheard of.
00:50:36
Mike
like
00:50:36
Trio of Positivity
And the rookie run the rookie rookie wide receiver also could be in there, too.
00:50:40
Mike
That's what I add for now. Like you you're talking about you brought in pretty much eight pieces on the offense and or maybe nine pieces of the offense in three years. Like you've got to get something from this.
00:50:41
Trio of Positivity
So...
00:50:54
Bhupen
No, but I agree.
00:50:54
Trio of Positivity
I just don't know if I can say that week one, though. Sorry, Boopin, you were you had a question for Miller.
00:50:58
Bhupen
No, like, I think we will be better, but I don't think an individual player is going to get there. I think, like, Kayla overall is going have better stats. but But let's talk about a second-year quarterback.
00:51:06
Mike
Well, Caleb overall will lead how how good the
00:51:11
Bhupen
Right. Let's...
00:51:11
Mike
Overall offense does.
00:51:13
Mike
I'm not talking about a player. i'm talking about an offense.
00:51:13
Trio of Positivity
and i will I will say something.
00:51:16
Trio of Positivity
i will say something. Miller, what's the one thing we always wish a quarterback, every quarterback we've drafted, we wish they could do?
00:51:23
Mike
Throw it over the middle of the field. Hit.
00:51:25
Trio of Positivity
No. How many yards do we want them to throw?
00:51:26
Bhupen
kick field goal, he will throw that. He will break that record. You can write it.
00:51:30
Trio of Positivity
That's what I was going to say. i think Caleb.
00:51:32
Bhupen
didn thirty
00:51:33
Mike
Oh, yards.
00:51:34
Trio of Positivity
I think Caleb hits 4,000 plus this year.
00:51:37
Bhupen
But Miller, let's talk about a second-year quarterback somewhere else, okay? Let's talk about Atlanta Falcons, okay? pi Michael Penix was...
00:51:44
Trio of Positivity
Wait, hold on. Hold on. Before we go that route. Final score.
00:51:47
Mike
Why, what are we, no, no, no, he's, I don't know where he's going with this, so.
00:51:48
Trio of Positivity
predict Yeah, i was going to say final score predictions.
00:51:53
Bhupen
No, I was going to say, like, their number one wide receiver is Drake London. Slightly better than DJ Moore. Their number one running back is B. John Robinson. Probably the best running back in the league right now.
00:52:03
Bhupen
Like, but it's...
00:52:04
Mike
No.
00:52:05
Trio of Positivity
No, Saquon's still one in my book.
00:52:08
Mike
He's not, i don't even think, no.
00:52:08
Bhupen
Okay.
00:52:10
Bhupen
B. John's not number one?
00:52:12
Mike
No. He's just number one for fantasy, but that doesn't matter. He's number one for fantasy because he's overall.
00:52:16
Trio of Positivity
This is why I don't get...
00:52:16
Bhupen
Okay, and like, he's...
00:52:17
Trio of Positivity
Can I ask you this question?
00:52:17
Mike
would i would say he's probably four, maybe five.
00:52:22
Trio of Positivity
Can I ask this question before you...
00:52:22
Bhupen
Okay.
00:52:23
Trio of Positivity
I'm sorry, Boobin, because this pisses me off. i said I asked it last year, but I don't think i asked it in a very significant way. Why do we always lean towards fantasy stats?
00:52:34
Trio of Positivity
over offensive production when it comes to running backs.
00:52:38
Bhupen
I mean, they are one or the other, right?
00:52:39
Mike
think he's one.
00:52:40
Bhupen
Fantasy stats are probably...
00:52:41
Mike
No, that's not that wasn't correctly said.
00:52:43
Mike
That wasn't correctly said. Why do you focus on fantasy stats rather than um overall?
00:52:43
Trio of Positivity
Okay, can you can you correct me then?
00:52:53
Trio of Positivity
I can't find another way to word it.
00:52:53
Bhupen
and NFL stats.
00:52:53
Mike
How do you say it?
00:52:54
Trio of Positivity
like that's what i was That's why I thought I worded okay.
00:52:55
Mike
Overall talent, overall talent. Because Bijan is the number one running back in fantasy football right now for the he is the lone wolf on that offense.
00:53:07
Mike
Like, he's going to do everything. He's going to catch the ball. He's going to run the ball. He's basically the entire of that offense. You can argue that Saquon's right there. But other than that, there's a bunch of question marks after that. Gibbs has Montgomery.
00:53:18
Mike
Gibbs is better than Bijan Robinson. If you don't think so, you're crazy. Saquon's better than than him. I would argue McCaffrey is better than him if he's not if he's not hurt.
00:53:29
Trio of Positivity
injured. Yeah.
00:53:29
Mike
if he's not yeah So, I mean, that's why I consider Bijan probably four.
00:53:32
Trio of Positivity
I'm on this. I'm yeah. See.
00:53:34
Mike
He hasn't really exploded.
00:53:36
Bhupen
The difference where you said is winning is basically what you said.
00:53:37
Mike
He's been hit or miss.
00:53:40
Bhupen
Like, Gibbs is on a winning team.
00:53:40
Trio of Positivity
No, no, no, no, no. no
00:53:42
Bhupen
49ers is on a winning team.
00:53:43
Mike
It's... it's
00:53:44
Bhupen
Saquon's on a winning team. Like, Bijan arguably does more, but he's on a shitty team.
00:53:50
Trio of Positivity
But Boopin, just to ask this question, do you think the Eagles adding Saquon put them over the hump or no?
00:54:00
Bhupen
Possibly, yeah
00:54:01
Trio of Positivity
See, that's... Okay, but so that's... When I asked that question about fantasy, like everyone's like, oh, this guy does great fantasy production, but the team doesn't win. like You can have great stats, but I still think if you were to draft players on fantasy only, you probably get maybe three wins.
00:54:24
Bhupen
Okay, maybe you answered my question already, but if you were ah GM starting a team today, like, would you want us, would you want Saquon, McCaffrey, their current status, right? Their age, whatever.
00:54:37
Bhupen
Who would you want on your team? I would want B. John on my team.
00:54:40
Mike
would want Gibbs.
00:54:42
Trio of Positivity
oh
00:54:42
Bhupen
Okay.
00:54:43
Trio of Positivity
That's a great question.
00:54:44
Mike
It's pretty hands down. i would want Gibbs.
00:54:47
Mike
It would be John would probably be second. I would probably agree with you. B. John's second, just because they're younger. mean, Saquon's older, McCaffrey's older and injury prone. I don't want them on my team.
00:54:47
Bhupen
But...
00:54:55
Mike
So that's why it would probably be Gibbs.
00:54:56
Bhupen
that
00:54:56
Trio of Positivity
I think it's how you want to build the team, though. Like obviously, Saquon won and had a hell of a year. i would probably say if you want to build something around a player, you could say Saquon and still be OK.
00:55:07
Mike
But he's just older, so if you're talking about starting a team...
00:55:08
Trio of Positivity
but he's just older.
00:55:09
Trio of Positivity
Right. But that's what I'm saying. But that's what I'm saying. Like you can still, I don't think that's a bad decision. Um, but I think I agree with Miller.
00:55:14
Mike
No.
00:55:16
Bhupen
Like my my question was Miller like.
00:55:17
Trio of Positivity
I think I would go Gibbs too. It would be Saquon Gibbs. And I would probably go B.
00:55:23
Bhupen
You guys are nuts.
00:55:24
Trio of Positivity
John three. Yeah.
00:55:26
Bhupen
wow Okay, maybe I'm not high on Gibbs as you guys are, but my question for you was like Atlanta has second year quarterback.
00:55:31
Mike
You're... He only won me a championship last year and took me to second place because of how elite he was when one Monty went down.
00:55:38
Bhupen
Because Monty went down like he needs a Monty was my.
00:55:41
Mike
We're building a team.
00:55:42
Bhupen
Okay.
00:55:42
Mike
We're building a team with only him. And he dominated the last year when there was no one else with him.
00:55:48
Bhupen
Okay, mike going back to my original question was, let's compare the Atlanta Falcons to the Chicago Bears, right? Second-year quarterback on both systems, right? Their running back room is better than ours.
00:55:59
Bhupen
Their wide receiver room is arguably better than ours because Drake Lunders.
00:56:03
Mike
No, it's not. No, not even close.
00:56:05
Bhupen
Drake over DJ?
00:56:06
Trio of Positivity
It's 50 50 50 50. No, fifty fifty
00:56:07
Mike
It's not even close. You guys are nuts.
00:56:11
Mike
I'm not saying Drake over – you said wide receiver room. You did not say Drake over DJ.
00:56:11
Bhupen
Wow.
00:56:15
Mike
Drake's better than DJ.
00:56:16
Bhupen
Okay.
00:56:17
Mike
They don't – Mooney isn't close to Odunze.
00:56:17
Bhupen
Okay.
00:56:20
Mike
Mooney's probably closer to Luther Burden than he is Odunze.
00:56:21
Bhupen
Okay.
00:56:21
Trio of Positivity
ah
00:56:23
Trio of Positivity
no no
00:56:24
Mike
You guys are nuts.
00:56:25
Bhupen
All right. Mooney had, I think, a thousand yards last season. Chris will attest because that was his wide receiver last season. Like, ah again, like, again.
00:56:35
Trio of Positivity
The joke, the running joke on that was that we actually saw Mooney as almost like a wide one when the whole time we couldn't even get him.
00:56:35
Bhupen
Everyone, yeah, everyone did. ah yeah everyone and
00:56:42
Mike
Joke's on you. He's had 992.
00:56:46
Trio of Positivity
We round up here.
00:56:48
Bhupen
Okay, all right. But like, okay, tight end room, I think we are better. Like, even though unproven, like Kyle Pitts is there so that they get some time, right?
00:56:53
Trio of Positivity
No, I think it's unproven. I can't say that we're better. I think it's unproven.
00:56:56
Bhupen
Okay, like, my question was like, why doesn't Atlanta, like, get that, okay, they have to be top 15. Like, no one puts that on them, right? Like, what's the disconnect here?
00:57:08
Bhupen
Like, are we too high on them? Like, what do you think? What's the disconnect here, you think?
00:57:13
Mike
I don't know the Atlanta Falcons, dude. I don't know the investments that they've made.
00:57:19
Mike
I know they drafted Pitts really early. i don't know where else they drafted their players.
00:57:19
Bhupen
They drafted a...
00:57:23
Bhupen
B-John. B-John was like number one, like number top four pick, I think. I'm pretty sure.
00:57:28
Trio of Positivity
So
00:57:28
Mike
And he's good.
00:57:28
Bhupen
Like...
00:57:28
Bhupen
8, 10, yeah.
00:57:29
Mike
Pitts is a bust. Penix was, what, nine? I don't know what they've done with their offensive line.
00:57:32
Bhupen
and yeah
00:57:34
Mike
I mean, they haven't...
00:57:35
Trio of Positivity
so just just to kind of just to kind of put, but here's the thing, Boop, and I'm just using one source right now, and it's going to be ESPN's um ah power index.
00:57:37
Mike
I don't know. I just don't know their investment that they made.
00:57:49
Trio of Positivity
um The bears are projected between 8.2 and 8.8 wins, so that translates to 8 to 9 wins.
00:57:55
Trio of Positivity
The Falcons are 8.1 8.9. So again, it's. So I'll go ahead. so again it's
00:57:59
Bhupen
That's why my point was like the top 10. I don't know where that was coming from when no one puts that on the Falcons. I want us to like, like be above 500, right? I want that too.
00:58:10
Bhupen
But like, just like we have pretty similar teams, Falcons and us. I don't know. Maybe I am nuts for thinking that. But like, why does that put on one team and not the other was my entire question.
00:58:19
Trio of Positivity
so i'll ah
00:58:20
Mike
so it's So as far as I can tell, their running back was a top 10, their wide receiver was a top 10, their quarterback was a top 10, and then their tight end was a top 10, what, five years ago?
00:58:21
Trio of Positivity
go ahead
00:58:32
Mike
Other than that, I don't know what else other assets that they've done to the team. I don't know their coach. Their coach, I believe, is defensive-minded, if I'm not crazy. If it still isn't the wasn't the black guy on their team, but he was the coach, right?
00:58:40
Bhupen
Yeah.
00:58:43
Bhupen
Yeah, Raheem. Yes. Thanks for calling him.
00:58:45
Trio of Positivity
Jesus Miller. Good Lord.
00:58:46
Bhupen
Yeah. Raheem Morris.
00:58:47
Mike
Jesus, we can't say that anymore?
00:58:49
Bhupen
Raheem Morris.
00:58:50
Mike
we're riy morris I believe he's a defensive minded, so that doesn't help. So like ah you're going to sit here and say, yes, they've invested top 10 picks into their offense. I agree with you, but I don't know what they've done with their offensive line. They haven't set up the head coach to be offensive minded. Like they just, yes, I would agree with you that in comparison, they're probably the closest to us.
00:59:10
Mike
But you also hear things about, I hear fantasy people saying that these people, that many players on their team should be top 10 for them.
00:59:19
Bhupen
Would...
00:59:20
Mike
And they have the potential to be top 10. So there is hype around this team. So like to say there's not, I mean, i just think with all the assets that we've done with, I mean, we basically, like I said, nine new offensive starters in three years, we should be 10.
00:59:38
Mike
with an offensive-minded head coach who that was said to be the best play caller in the league.
00:59:38
Bhupen
will
00:59:39
Trio of Positivity
Oh, oh, I.
00:59:44
Trio of Positivity
Well, let me jump in real quick. I just want to add two points and then we're we're going to have to move on here. The division has something to do with it. It's I think Atlanta beats the Saints twice. I think Atlanta beats Carolina twice.
00:59:57
Bhupen
So it should be higher on them, right?
00:59:57
Trio of Positivity
And then it's a point. It's a point. buthold on But hold on.
00:59:59
Bhupen
Okay.
01:00:00
Mike
Why does Atlanta – why does schedule have anything to do with it?
01:00:04
Trio of Positivity
Well, hold on. does If if you have ah
01:00:06
Mike
does It doesn't have anything to do with wins. It has to do with offensive efficiency.
01:00:09
Trio of Positivity
Will will you shut the fuck up? Holy shit. Let me finish. If you're winning games, OK, if you're winning games, you're going to have better stats.
01:00:24
Trio of Positivity
OK, that's there's no other way of saying that you're you the more you win, the more your your numbers are inflated. what Whether you want to say like it's 5% higher, whatever. So last year.
01:00:34
Mike
That's not true. I can't let you say that.
01:00:36
Trio of Positivity
How? OK, explain to me then how.
01:00:38
Bhupen
Okay, let him finish his point and then you can fucking argue.
01:00:39
Trio of Positivity
No, no, no, no. i want i want I want to hear. I want to hear
01:00:41
Mike
Because you can argue that some offenses that lose more, that have to score more points. Like, go look at the Cincinnati Bengals offense from last year. What did they go? 9-8? You can argue they were the best offense in the league and they went 500.
01:00:55
Bhupen
By like a margin. No, but like the other point is, Chris, Saints, right?
01:00:59
Mike
Having a worse defense could automatically lead to a better offense.
01:01:00
Bhupen
Saints.
01:01:03
Mike
Just based on scheduling, you cannot predict whether an offense is going to be top 10 or not.
01:01:06
Bhupen
also like Also, like, they play a shithouse of a team of Saints, and they barely win 9-8 or 9-7, right? Like, it doesn't necessarily mean they their stats are better.
01:01:18
Bhupen
Like, Saints are a shitshow. So, like, but they barely win the Saints, beat the Saints.
01:01:20
Trio of Positivity
So here's the point that I was trying to make. The Bears were last year. How many points do you think they scored? And what's not a lot?
01:01:28
Mike
Not a lot.
01:01:31
Trio of Positivity
Okay. 310 points for.
01:01:32
Mike
I don't know.
01:01:32
Mike
Give me a... I don't know. What's...
01:01:33
Bhupen
20 points a game.
01:01:34
Trio of Positivity
That's it.
01:01:37
Trio of Positivity
four that's it So the Falcons being 8-9, how much did they score? Only 389. So like,
01:01:48
Trio of Positivity
so like
01:01:48
Mike
It's a lot.
01:01:50
Trio of Positivity
you say that's a lot. Detroit scored 564.
01:01:54
Mike
that's ah That's a jump of four points a game.
01:01:55
Trio of Positivity
Tampa 502. Tampa 502. What I'm saying is if you're in a shit division, if you're in a shit division, Tampa 502,
01:01:59
Mike
The best offense in the league.
01:02:01
Bhupen
Yeah, Tampa was like incredible last year.
01:02:05
Trio of Positivity
Tampa was 10 and seven. They scored 502. And guess what? They played Atlanta, Carolina, New Orleans twice. That doesn't inflate numbers.
01:02:13
Mike
I'm not saying that it doesn't, but then you also have to understand that having a shitty defense inflates numbers as well. There's a variety of factors that can fucking inflate numbers.
01:02:22
Bhupen
Like... Hopefully the last point is all this is like, yes, we look at our bears and we are like super hyper focus on it. What our team does and what the record is, is reflective on a lot of things.
01:02:35
Bhupen
The talent we put on our team alone, because we don't play in a vacuum. We play other teams that are also trying to win and also trying to be better. So, yes, we can say we put all this shit. We should be better. That's not how works. We play against NFL teams.
Expectations for Bears' Offensive Success
01:02:49
Bhupen
We're also trying to win games and get better.
01:02:49
Trio of Positivity
I don't know. You say that, but for for me, if I hear that we're a top 10 offense, we have to be in the playoffs. Like that's that's the only thing I hear if I hear top 10 offense.
01:03:00
Bhupen
Okay, we'll leave it there and we'll move on to the score prediction for the Bears versus Vikings. I'll go first since I'm the only one that put it on the sheet. I said Bears win 27-14.
01:03:15
Trio of Positivity
Miller.
01:03:16
Mike
Bears win Our captain Gigger.
01:03:19
Trio of Positivity
but I um think. I think 2410 Minnesota.
01:03:31
Trio of Positivity
I wouldn't be surprised if it's 2413.
01:03:31
Bhupen
Alright.
01:03:32
Trio of Positivity
I think our kicker is going to get more points this year than anything.
01:03:37
Bhupen
Our kicker?
01:03:40
Trio of Positivity
Our captain kicker.
01:03:40
Bhupen
Alright.
01:03:41
Mike
ah
NFL Quarterback Updates
01:03:42
Mike
captain gigger
01:03:42
Bhupen
On that positive, on that positive, positive note, hey, two people has a fairs winning.
01:03:48
Bhupen
That's positive for us. Let's quickly move on to last minute fantasy news. I do have some questions for you guys, or we do have some questions for you guys at the end. just talking about some of the more convoluted rooms out there, but let's start with some things we know for sure.
01:04:05
Bhupen
I'm going start here. In terms of quarterbacks, some positive news here. Matthew Stafford with the Rams, who's like, you know, being hurt all season. There's a back issue. Looks like it will be a pain management thing, and he's Good to go um for week one.
01:04:20
Bhupen
That's the positive news there. ah More news on the running backs front. Mostly positive here, too. HN is back to practice. Their other running back has had a surgery. Wright is out for a little bit, but HN's back to practice. That's great news.
01:04:36
Bhupen
A couple other people that are back to practice. Najee Harris with the Chargers. Jaden Blue with Dallas. Kenneth Walker with Seattle. um um I don't know what happened there.
01:04:48
Mike
He's totally just moved on. Moving to wide receivers, Chris Godwin and and
01:04:56
Mike
I don't know his name from Carolina and I don't want to say it wrong.
01:04:59
Mike
it Is it Coker?
01:04:59
Bhupen
Jalen Coker?
01:05:01
Bhupen
Jalen Coker? Coker? Coker.
01:05:02
Mike
Coker. Coker. Jalen Coker from the Carolina Panthers are on IR. Trey Harris from the the Chargers. A.J. Brown, Devontae Smith, and Stephon Diggs are all back in practice. It really seems like a lot of veterans took the training camp off this year.
01:05:17
Mike
I don't know. I don't remember of this being very normal, but it sounds like we're becoming more like the mba NBA players.
01:05:18
Bhupen
go Well, wait.
01:05:23
Bhupen
But, like, this is week one, right, where everyone's healthy, so, like, basically everyone's practicing.
01:05:27
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
01:05:28
Bhupen
ah Talk about practicing.
01:05:28
Mike
But all these people had a fucking designation for the entire fucking training camp.
01:05:33
Trio of Positivity
yeah
01:05:35
Bhupen
is practicing from Miami and Philadelphia, respectively. Isaiah likely.
01:05:41
Mike
And Isaiah likely is not.
01:05:43
Bhupen
He's likely not practicing. Yes.
Fantasy Football Strategies and Predictions
01:05:47
Bhupen
All right. um but This show has already gone too long, so I won't take more of your time. But I won't.
01:05:52
Mike
No, I will, though.
01:05:54
Bhupen
Okay, you will.
01:05:54
Mike
Are you going to answer your question? Ask the questions or am i going to ask question?
01:05:58
Bhupen
Why don't you do the first one? I'll do the other three.
01:06:01
Mike
Okay, so obviously with this being fantasy related, the big thing is is who's going to be that fantasy waiver wire addition that I can get now instead of waiting next week. It's always a shit show week one. There's always that guy that's going to make an impact, whether you're looking at like a Puka Nikua that comes out of nowhere.
01:06:23
Mike
whether you're looking at like a Sam Laporta that comes out of nowhere or the variety of other players, who do you believe that player could be that you may want to stash now rather than later?
01:06:36
Mike
Do you guys have any thoughts?
01:06:37
Bhupen
i will
01:06:38
Bhupen
I will tell you, and I'm happy to tell you that he's your backup for running back that I already stashed. It's Blake Corum from the Rams. That's your answer.
01:06:49
Mike
Blake Corum.
01:06:51
Bhupen
i think so. i think it'll be more split than it's been in the past.
01:06:58
Bhupen
Chris?
01:06:59
Mike
Probably no idea.
01:07:01
Trio of Positivity
um I don't know his name, but I think Coughing Henry might be a way to go, too. I think, what is it?
01:07:08
Mike
We're not talking injuries.
01:07:08
Bhupen
and
01:07:09
Trio of Positivity
well But I think, what, Hill?
01:07:10
Bhupen
Mitchell?
01:07:11
Trio of Positivity
Hill or Mitchell? One of the two?
01:07:13
Mike
It's neither of those.
01:07:15
Trio of Positivity
i think one of them is... I think Hill is listed as two on the depth chart.
01:07:20
Bhupen
Yeah, like, okay. Don't even get me started on the...
01:07:21
Mike
No, it's a rookie.
01:07:24
Bhupen
Wait.
01:07:24
Mike
It's a rookie.
01:07:25
Bhupen
Jaden Mitchell?
01:07:27
Trio of Positivity
No, Keaton Mitchell, Justice Hill.
01:07:27
Bhupen
No? Keaton?
01:07:29
Trio of Positivity
That's his name. Justice Hill is listed two on the depth chart.
01:07:30
Bhupen
Yeah.
01:07:31
Mike
That's – oh, did you say Henry?
01:07:32
Trio of Positivity
And then Keaton Mitchell is listed third. Yes.
01:07:37
Mike
fuck. I thought you said Saquon.
01:07:39
Bhupen
Oh, Shipley is the backup What's your answer?
01:07:42
Mike
Shipley is for Saquon, yeah.
01:07:43
Trio of Positivity
OK, because you're a fucking idiot and you don't pay attention.
01:07:44
Mike
Boobin, the only – yeah, that's my fault.
01:07:46
Trio of Positivity
I'm talking about cuffing. Yeah, so.
01:07:48
Mike
You said Barkley a lot. Boven, I honestly, i don't think they just paid Kyron a shit ton of money. Kyron's going get the goal line work. They may split it. They did it last year. They broke big quorum. So I just don't think he's going to be impacted unless an injury occurs.
01:08:03
Mike
um So I have quite a few answers.
01:08:07
Trio of Positivity
Oh, God.
01:08:07
Mike
So my answers,
01:08:12
Mike
my answers go around to what you talked about earlier today.
01:08:13
Trio of Positivity
I have to stop drinking when we do this because my real thoughts come out without even trying.
01:08:18
Mike
My answers go along to what you said earlier is the questions with the running back rooms. And I think if you look at several running back rooms in the league right now, there's no really clear answer. You look at the Bears, yes, you have Swift.
01:08:33
Mike
you have swift But notoriously, Ben Johnson has used two running backs.
01:08:38
Mike
So that means, and to to that point, Jamal Williams had like 20 touchdowns as a secondary player, a David Montgomery type. So playing a guy like that could be very advantageous in fantasy.
01:08:39
Trio of Positivity
Yep.
01:08:53
Mike
And if Roshan Johnson or Kyle Monungai become that person, That's something that you could see week one. The other running back room that has a lot of question marks is Houston. Yes, they just signed fucking what's-his-name from Cleveland, but that doesn't mean that he's going to be good.
01:09:09
Mike
He hasn't been good in three years. So will Chubb really be able to carry this offense?
01:09:14
Bhupen
I mean his knee just got destroyed but yeah no offense he just done shit before that. He was a stud before his knee literally was it really three years ago?
01:09:23
Mike
Boobin, that was three years ago.
01:09:26
Bhupen
Wow.
01:09:27
Mike
Because he got his ACL two years ago, and I believe he played last year. Didn't he?
01:09:33
Bhupen
Don't remember. I just know his knee he had a devastating knee injury that was like literally
01:09:37
Mike
That might have kept... I know it's been real... I don't think it was 2023 when he had his elite season. I think it was 2022. But needless to be, like he's over 30 Does he can you really he really carry this running back room or is it going to be someone like Damian Pierce who's younger or even Woody Marks?
01:09:57
Mike
That could be a the passing running back for that team. So I think those running back rooms where you do have that question mark.
01:10:04
Trio of Positivity
Thank you.
01:10:04
Mike
I think those are probably better options than playing a handcuff when you're when you're eyeing something like this.
01:10:11
Bhupen
Yeah, like, running backs room are so, so hit and miss. Pittsburgh listed their rookie as a third string. That's number one. um Washington, like, the guy who's getting all the buzz, JCM, he's listed as the fourth running back on the depth chart. So, I don't know if teams are playing games, but, like, it's, like, really unclear who the...
01:10:36
Mike
I don't think you're going to play games at this point. Like, Caleb Johnson, he's a rookie. You're going to bring him in, and again, you you you focus. The one thing that I will say that is very important in fantasy that many people talk about is who made the money.
01:10:53
Mike
You look at the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jalen Warren just got paid.
01:10:57
Mike
He just got paid about $7 million dollars a year. You really think that caleb john they paid him money for Caleb Johnson to come in and take snaps from him? No. ah Jalen Warren is going to be your number one running back. Caleb Johnson may find out may carve out a role, may transition to a number of one running back later in the year.
01:10:58
Bhupen
Mm-hmm.
01:11:16
Mike
But you don't know. You also look at the Carolina Panthers. They paid Chubba Hubbard a good amount of money. Is he really going to take a backseat to Rico Dowdle? I don't think so. I think he's going to be the guy. So, I mean, you look at the the clarity of these rooms, and that's kind of where your answers should fall.
01:11:34
Bhupen
Let's talk about the Chargers where Najee Harris is the guy paid, but like everyone's drafting.
01:11:40
Mike
But he didn't get paid.
01:11:43
Bhupen
i mean, he's probably making 7 mil. Is he not even making that? All
01:11:48
Mike
I don't know how much he's making.
01:11:50
Bhupen
right. As you're doing that.
01:11:50
Trio of Positivity
I hate that I hear your fucking keyboard now.
01:11:51
Mike
I'd be surprised. He signed a one a one-year contract for 52. 5.2. So that's like nothing.
01:11:59
Bhupen
Less than 7, so I'll give you that.
01:12:00
Mike
so that's like that's like nothing
01:12:03
Bhupen
aye A couple other... Okay,
01:12:05
Mike
Again, I think Najee's going to have more of an impact than most people think, too.
01:12:10
Bhupen
cool. cool
01:12:10
Mike
I think a lot of the American Hampton hype was based on Najee's injury. So I think they thought he was going to be the number one, and I think now Najee's going to come in and probably take some of that goal line work from him.
01:12:22
Bhupen
I just drafted him. Damn it, Miller. um Okay.
Potential Fantasy Breakout Players
01:12:25
Bhupen
A couple other like kind of unclear names, maybe deeper names to keep an eye on. but On the tight ends market, this name's been coming up the board.
01:12:35
Bhupen
Brenton Strange. He's the um Jacksonville Jaguars tight end. Another name that's probably on your waivers right now for some leagues. Hunter Henry or Chick Okwanko from Tennessee.
01:12:48
Bhupen
Deeper names to look for, but all of them might have a role on the on their offense this year. um Last, probably throw it to you guys. um You know, like C.J. Stroud, Bryce Young, very highly touted players that, like, you know, you could argue are on different paths right now after C.J. had an amazing first year, kind of took a dip last year.
01:13:09
Bhupen
Bryce came on slow but had a great end of last year. Do you think either of them making a leap to the top 12 this year, or who, I guess, would you pick to make the top 12 move this year? you to pick up Because both of them are probably going undrafted or very late in your draft.
01:13:25
Bhupen
Do you see them making the leap? Who you think makes the leap this year into top 12?
01:13:31
Mike
I would make an argument that maybe Bryce Young has a chance. CJ Stroud has done it. But the one element that Bryce Young has that CJ doesn't is his legs.
01:13:42
Mike
I think CJ Stroud does have legs, but he doesn't use it very often. Where if Bryce Young incorporates his legs more,
01:13:47
Bhupen
Wait, are you sure he has legs? you sure he has legs?
01:13:51
Mike
has like he can move. but i think But if Bryce Young uses his legs, I think that could catapult him to top 12 in fantasy.
01:13:59
Bhupen
Yeah, a lot of people are high on him.
01:14:00
Mike
Fantasy.
01:14:00
Bhupen
A lot of people are high on him.
01:14:02
Mike
Fantasy, not rankings.
01:14:06
Bhupen
Chris, you got something to say?
01:14:09
Trio of Positivity
Actually, I do. um i have two thoughts and the beers hitting brother. I feel really good right now.
01:14:17
Mike
Okay, I have a question for you, so to your shit.
01:14:21
Trio of Positivity
My sleeper pick that I think not a lot of people are talking about. I think the Patriots defense could win ah leagues this year.
01:14:31
Mike
Okay. First of all, no defense wins leagues.
01:14:34
Trio of Positivity
and Listen again, the beer is strong in me, brother. um
01:14:39
Bhupen
Hey, technically, technically, no, technically every offer every winning team has a defense in there, so Chris is right.
01:14:40
Mike
I promise you.
01:14:47
Mike
I promise you, Chris.
01:14:49
Trio of Positivity
I think the Patriots I think the Patriots are going to be top five in defense this year.
01:14:49
Mike
Okay.
01:14:53
Bhupen
Okay.
01:14:54
Mike
Well, if that's the case, then my group that I follow are really wrong and I'm very concerned for my fantasy team because they have them ranked as the 24th ranked defense.
01:15:03
Bhupen
Oh, that's rough.
01:15:05
Trio of Positivity
That's rough, but i I think their schedule is their schedule is favorable.
01:15:06
Bhupen
I don't think that's that bad, but.
01:15:10
Trio of Positivity
Their defense was decent last year, and they i think I think that's going to be a top five defense um just on the on the schedule. on Also, um kickers, man.
01:15:23
Trio of Positivity
we We're seeing kickers kick more 50-yard attempts. Are we at the point where maybe you draft a kicker early this time because you think
01:15:32
Mike
No.
01:15:34
Trio of Positivity
You think they might get you that that higher number, even though that attempt might suck if you get a 50-yarder in there, two 50-yarders.
01:15:37
Mike
No.
01:15:40
Mike
50s and 60s and 70s don't matter. It just all counts the same.
01:15:45
Bhupen
Yeah. Sadly. Well, I don't...
01:15:45
Trio of Positivity
um I thought they changed that.
01:15:48
Mike
Your league may have, but most most leagues haven't.
01:15:49
Bhupen
Yeah. I tried. All leagues said no, Chris.
01:15:53
Trio of Positivity
Oh, well, I think that's... Bless you. I think that's one of the things where I feel like... the kickers in the next couple years, I think they're going to end up changing the point system because I think there's going to be so many 50 yard attempts this year.
01:16:06
Mike
Nobody likes kickers. That's why they don't change the point system.
01:16:06
Trio of Positivity
It's going to be nuts.
01:16:09
Trio of Positivity
Kickers kickers are going to be sexy in five years. Just you wait.
01:16:12
Bhupen
Hey.
01:16:12
Trio of Positivity
All right. You have a question for me.
01:16:12
Mike
Okay. Yes. You have a draft tomorrow. You said your pick was second overall.
01:16:12
Bhupen
Kick.
01:16:17
Mike
What is your thought process?
01:16:17
Trio of Positivity
Yeah.
01:16:20
Trio of Positivity
ah I think Chase goes one. It's either it's either
01:16:25
Bhupen
Who are you picking? Saquon?
01:16:27
Trio of Positivity
It's either Saquon or Bijan at that point. um I'm probably going to go Saquon.
01:16:30
Mike
Who are you going to take?
01:16:30
Bhupen
Hey, M- M- M- I
01:16:37
Trio of Positivity
now Now, the only thing that I will say is picks.
01:16:41
Bhupen
but i was disappointed in you.
01:16:43
Trio of Positivity
Well, here's the thing, though.
01:16:44
Mike
I am disappointing you.
01:16:45
Trio of Positivity
it's It's picks two and three.
01:16:49
Trio of Positivity
If everything goes right, I will go running back pick two and then wide receiver pick three. However,
01:16:57
Mike
Pick, what do you mean pick three?
01:16:59
Trio of Positivity
because of because it's snake.
01:17:01
Mike
Yeah, so you have the second pick and then like the 14th pick.
01:17:02
Trio of Positivity
So.
01:17:07
Mike
No, that's not right.
01:17:08
Trio of Positivity
And then the 16th or seventeen something like that.
01:17:08
Bhupen
No. Like, uh, 23rd day.
01:17:09
Mike
No, like like the 22nd pick and then like, yeah, 24th.
01:17:12
Trio of Positivity
22nd and 24th, 25th.
01:17:12
Bhupen
Yeah.
01:17:15
Trio of Positivity
So. That's where I think I'm going to get.
01:17:17
Mike
You're doing running back.
01:17:19
Trio of Positivity
yeah I think I go running back, running back wide receiver. Because I think there's going to be some good running backs there.
01:17:23
Bhupen
Runny...
01:17:26
Trio of Positivity
I think.
01:17:26
Bhupen
It does dry up very early.
01:17:27
Mike
You have 12 a 10.
01:17:29
Trio of Positivity
we're 12.
01:17:33
Mike
My running back sucked in the third round. Just keep that in mind.
01:17:36
Mike
so
01:17:36
Trio of Positivity
That's, but that's, but that's where I think being second is my, is probably more favorable.
01:17:36
Bhupen
Yeah.
01:17:41
Trio of Positivity
And I think for quarterback,
01:17:41
Bhupen
Dude, running back dries up so easily, so be very mindful of that.
01:17:45
Trio of Positivity
this league drafts very weird booping at Miller's been witness to it, but I think it's because we kept keepers.
01:17:46
Mike
Yeah.
01:17:46
Bhupen
Very mindful.
01:17:52
Bhupen
Is it people?
01:17:52
Trio of Positivity
This, this league drafts very weird. It's PPR.
01:17:56
Bhupen
All right. Okay, yeah, that's only reason that.
01:17:59
Mike
yeah I don't know. Just just just just be conscientious of the fact that you may want to go running back wide receiver, wide receiver.
01:18:07
Trio of Positivity
See, I thought about that too.
01:18:09
Mike
because it's Especially if it's PPR. Especially if it's PPR and you're probably going to want to take P.
01:18:12
Trio of Positivity
no, no. yeah But that's why I think Saquon is probably the better pick because if it's PPR.
01:18:14
Mike
John Robinson.
01:18:18
Mike
i don't think I don't agree with that at all.
01:18:18
Trio of Positivity
um
01:18:21
Bhupen
if it's PPR, B.
01:18:21
Trio of Positivity
ah Well, I...
01:18:22
Bhupen
John is a, but I can argue Gibbs with Miller, but
01:18:25
Mike
Why do you think that they're going why do you think that they're going to pass Bijan on the ball a lot?
01:18:31
Trio of Positivity
I don't think so.
01:18:32
Mike
Then why did you say it was the better pick?
01:18:35
Trio of Positivity
No, he did. I didn't.
01:18:36
Mike
You did.
01:18:37
Mike
You said that's what I want to say, Quan.
01:18:37
Trio of Positivity
No, I said Saquon.
01:18:40
Trio of Positivity
I think Saquon gets more passes than does.
01:18:42
Mike
Why?
01:18:46
Trio of Positivity
I don't know.
01:18:46
Mike
I personally, I think they got their Super Bowl, and I think they know i think they're going to start to tame Saquon down little bit. I'm not saying don't draft him. I personally would go Bichon, because especially if you're talking full PPR, and then on top of that full PPR, you should really think about getting a solid wide receiver.
01:19:08
Trio of Positivity
So the only reason why I want to go running back, running back is because.
01:19:09
Mike
Second and third round.
01:19:15
Trio of Positivity
Who's the other person that was eyeing? Because I know I'm not going to get Derek Henry again. There's no shot. I get Derek and.
01:19:22
Bhupen
You might in a BPR.
01:19:22
Mike
No, no, no, he won't, he won't, he won't fall.
01:19:23
Bhupen
No.
01:19:25
Mike
He won't fall that far.
01:19:25
Trio of Positivity
it won't fall because people there's no keeper.
01:19:28
Trio of Positivity
So like people are going to want to draft out of.
01:19:31
Mike
He probably, he's going to go early, early second.
01:19:33
Trio of Positivity
He's going to go early, too. Yeah.
01:19:35
Mike
Um, you, in my mock study today, I was at four. Um, you're, you're really, You might get a shot at like an A-chan or a Taylor or someone like that at the second pick.
01:19:50
Mike
um That's where I was looking or like a Chase Brown, maybe. Fingers crossed there, but probably wide receivers.
01:19:56
Bhupen
If you get, if you get chase round run, like you better take them.
01:20:03
Mike
and know, I'm taking
01:20:03
Trio of Positivity
The only other.
Closing Remarks and Audience Engagement
01:20:04
Mike
a lot of Chase Brown this year, I think.
01:20:05
Trio of Positivity
The only other one that I've seen that could fall my way was like Brees Hall or. um
01:20:10
Mike
No, you don't touch him with a five-foot pole.
01:20:12
Trio of Positivity
Or Kamara.
01:20:12
Bhupen
Okay.
01:20:13
Mike
Do not touch Brees Hall with a five-foot pole.
01:20:15
Trio of Positivity
Listen, I'm just saying if I'm looking from what fits my narrative, it's probably Kamara.
01:20:19
Mike
Okay, I don't give a shit what your narrative is.
01:20:21
Trio of Positivity
It's probably Kamara or Hall. Like, that's the only thing that I could.
01:20:23
Mike
No, you should be looking at James Conner on the comeback around.
01:20:26
Bhupen
like Like Jacobs.
01:20:27
Mike
But you do not touch Brees Hall. Do not do it.
01:20:29
Trio of Positivity
I feel like I would draft him so early though because I think he falls.
01:20:29
Bhupen
Like.
01:20:32
Mike
Do not touch Brees Hall. Do not touch Brees Hall. If you have Brees Hall on your team, I'm not going to tug you.
01:20:40
Mike
On that note, let's wrap it up.
01:20:42
Trio of Positivity
Let's wrap it up.
01:20:43
