00:02 - Today, the Hall of Fame game begins
00:04 with the Browns and the Jets,
00:05 a one and a half point favor for the New York Jets,
00:07 totals 33 and a half.
00:08 Differing viewpoints for myself and Donnie.
00:10 Donnie figures under here because it's preseason football.
00:13 For me, you look at the quarterbacks here
00:16 and I think there's reason to think
00:17 that there will be Jews plus.
00:19 Robert Saleh, five and one to the over
00:21 in his preseason career.
00:23 So even adding a trend into the equation.
00:26 Donnie, if you were gonna bet a winner,
00:29 is it just the Jets have Zach Wilson,
00:31 that's the most high profile guy, give me Zach Wilson?
00:34 - It's not that, it's actually the depth
00:37 of the quarterback position.
00:38 And you say, well, what do you mean depth?
00:39 These guys are all backups.
00:40 I get that here.
00:41 But also like Josh Dobbs, I really think
00:43 if the Cleveland Browns came out and say,
00:45 by the way, Josh Dobbs is gonna get three quarters tonight.
00:47 I would be betting the Cleveland Browns to be honest,
00:49 because he does have a pedigree, has played in the NFL,
00:52 can move the football with his legs here.
00:53 But you're putting in some of those younger guys here
00:55 which tend to struggle a little bit.
00:57 But I don't know how long Zach Wilson's playing.
00:59 And what the motive, I should say, of Zach Wilson tonight.
01:03 Is it a cameo performance?
01:04 Like, yeah, he's gonna get the start,
01:05 he's the second stringer.
01:06 We'll get two series, we'll hand off,
01:08 and then we'll give it to the young guys here.
01:09 Or is this actually an opportunity to build
01:12 for Zach Wilson for the season?
01:14 That's what I can't get my eye on.
01:15 Because I'll tell you right now,
01:16 if Zach Wilson goes out there and say,
01:18 Donnie, how many passes are you gonna throw?
01:19 Well, he's gonna throw 24 times in the first half.
01:21 You might be in a little bit of trouble on that total.
01:24 But if it's a cameo appearance,
01:25 I don't mean just taking like a snap or two,
01:27 like two or three series where it's like,
01:29 Hey, look, we need a starter, hand the football off,
01:32 don't get injured.
01:32 We still need you as our backup quarterback,
01:34 just in case something happens to Aaron Rodgers.
01:36 See where I'm going down that field?
01:37 But if we were to be told that,
01:38 Hey, by the way, it's gonna get the first half,
01:40 we're gonna open the playbook up, that could change things.
01:42 But I don't think that's going to happen.
01:44 That's why I like the under in this one.
01:45 I like the quarterbacks that are going to play,
01:47 but I just wish we might've had different quarterbacks
01:49 playing a little bit longer.
01:50 We know Watson's not in, we know Aaron Rodgers isn't there.
01:53 But if you're getting honest efforts
01:54 out of the number two, three, and four guy,
01:56 that could change the difference.
01:57 I don't think we will though.
