00:00:00All right, we're back.

00:00:02You guys ready?

00:00:03Let's go!

00:00:15Icy.

00:00:18Set.

00:00:27Ready.

00:00:28This is the Pro Football Football Show, powered by Chevy Silverado.

00:00:35Welcome to the Pro Football Football Show presented by the Chevy Silverado.

00:00:38Head to Chevy.com to learn more and build your Chevy Silverado.

00:00:41Coach, we did our Chevy commercial and Dan was driving.

00:00:44You were a little nervous about that, right?

00:00:45Yeah, I was nervous.

00:00:46But Dan's got a lot of versatility.

00:00:48His line when he was holding the fork with the hot dog on it, ready.

00:00:53That was good, but if you're driving a pickup truck,

00:00:55you've got to slightly put the elbow out the window.

00:00:58Yeah.

00:00:59I didn't see the cat do it.

00:01:00Listen, it was safety first.

00:01:01I had a lot of, you know, high-profile people in the back seat,

00:01:04so I had to make sure you guys were safe.

00:01:05That's a sweet truck.

00:01:06That's a sweet truck.

00:01:07Unbelievable.

00:01:08Unbelievable.

00:01:09Sweet truck, and we were laughing a lot watching Dan cook the hot dogs.

00:01:12Yeah.

00:01:13That was quite a time.

00:01:14Thank you to Chevy for having us do that.

00:01:15It's the intro of the show, as a matter of fact.

00:01:17All right, Dan, you pick against the spread.

00:01:19Yes.

00:01:20These two pick straight up, but let me say the records.

00:01:23Okay, all right.

00:01:24So, Coach went 11-4 straight up.

00:01:27Dan went 11-4 against the spread.

00:01:29Yep.

00:01:30Fred Smoot, 8-7 straight up.

00:01:32Mm-hmm.

00:01:33It's men and boys, okay?

00:01:35So, I'm the man here.

00:01:36I pick against the spread.

00:01:37The boys do a little like, oh, I think this team's going to win.

00:01:40I think this team's going to win.

00:01:41I think this team's going to win.

00:01:4211-4 against the spread is damn fucking good.

00:01:46It's very good.

00:01:47Can we all agree that the first week of the NFL is a toss-up?

00:01:51We don't know who any of these teams got yet.

00:01:54Okay.

00:01:55So, I tossed up correctly.

00:01:57You didn't.

00:01:58Give me your prop catfish, but at the end of the day, can it last?

00:02:02Can it last for seven, two years?

00:02:04Last two years, I was over 53%, I think.

00:02:07That is true.

00:02:08Yeah, it can last and it's going to last.

00:02:10And I'm going to tell you, again, where you're wrong and I'm right.

00:02:13All right.

00:02:14All right.

00:02:15I will tell you, Fred, that he has had a phenomenal record on this show since we've started.

00:02:18I think that even the first year, didn't your son win like a mini Chevy?

00:02:21Yeah, he won a mini Chevy.

00:02:22The problem is, for me, is I have to bet all the games I pick here.

00:02:28I need to do a better job of just betting them all and not betting extra stuff.

00:02:32The extra stuff is where I lose.

00:02:33He's weighing you that.

00:02:34That's where I lose.

00:02:35I bet over-unders, those are the losers.

00:02:38Where do you land on this argument?

00:02:40Well, first of all, it's not where you line up, it's where you wind up.

00:02:43I could care less about the beginning of the season.

00:02:46It's about where we are at the end of the season.

00:02:47Thank you, Coach.

00:02:48So both of you guys, just calm down.

00:02:49I do think this, though, Dan makes a great point.

00:02:51You go 11-4 against the spread, you should be celebrating.

00:02:54Yes.

00:02:55Some of the undisciplined bets that you make.

00:02:58Yeah.

00:02:59It really costs you.

00:03:00Yeah, those, yes.

00:03:01No, you're right, you're right.

00:03:02That's why you need a coach.

00:03:03You need some discipline in your freaking game, man.

00:03:06That's true.

00:03:07And I see a lot of that in football.

00:03:08We're going to get into that, I'm sure.

00:03:09Yes, we are.

00:03:10We might as well jump right into it.

00:03:11The Storyline Games of the Week presented by the Chevy Silverado.

00:03:14We're going to start with the Eagles at the Chiefs on Sunday.

00:03:17The Eagles beat Dallas coach on Thursday night.

00:03:20The Chiefs lose to the Chargers on Friday in Brazil.

00:03:23What are your takeaways from these games?

00:03:25There's a lot to unpack.

00:03:26I mean, the spitting incident, you know, is one thing.

00:03:29But the emotional victory, I think, that Philadelphia got,

00:03:33with Carter getting kicked out of the game against the Dallas Cowboys,

00:03:36that's a big win for them.

00:03:38They didn't play particularly well at all on offense in the second half.

00:03:41And defensively, they gave up some plays.

00:03:44If C.D. Lamb catches a football, they don't win that game.

00:03:47Yep.

00:03:48Kansas City, to me, they didn't look very good on defense.

00:03:51I know they're playing out in Brazil.

00:03:52That could have been a real factor.

00:03:54That is a real factor.

00:03:55But other than a couple broken plays by Mahomes late in the game,

00:03:59they were handled by the Chargers.

00:04:01Yeah.

00:04:02And I can't get over what happened last year in the Super Bowl.

00:04:04That was a 40-6 game with three minutes left.

00:04:07I'm taking the Eagles on the road.

00:04:09Even though Kansas City went 10-0 at home last year,

00:04:13I can't get over the Super Bowl film.

00:04:15I'm going to stay with the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:04:17Coach, can we agree in totality that Philadelphia,

00:04:20besides the Baltimore Ravens, might,

00:04:23personnel-wise, have the best roster in football?

00:04:26Especially when you talk about youth and players that have been played in big games.

00:04:29Especially when you talk about quarterback, running back,

00:04:32offense, the best offensive line in football.

00:04:34Now, I'm a Chris Jones guy, because he's a Mississippi State Bulldog.

00:04:37But I know the truth.

00:04:39A good offensive line, five dudes versus three, is an advantage.

00:04:43So when I look at this Philadelphia roster, I have to say, I got to go with Philadelphia, coach.

00:04:47I got to go with Philadelphia.

00:04:48I just think it's the better roster.

00:04:50And I think they're inside of the heads of the Kansas City Chiefs rent-free.

00:04:54Okay, Dan, the line is minus one and a half for the Eagles.

00:04:57Wrong, wrong, Chiefs.

00:05:00Listen, it's Patrick Mahomes.

00:05:02They have their back against their wall.

00:05:03They can't start 0-2.

00:05:05I don't think the Eagles, like that first half, the Eagles' offense looked good.

00:05:08But it looked terrible in the second half.

00:05:10And the Cowboys don't have a good defense.

00:05:12I think that the switch to a new offensive coordinator again,

00:05:16Kellen Moore obviously down in New Orleans now, it's going to take a little time for the Eagles.

00:05:21Like, where was A.J. Brown?

00:05:22Is he hurt?

00:05:23He got one target at the end of the game.

00:05:25I think that the Chiefs, back against the wall, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, at home,

00:05:30these are the type of games they find a way to win.

00:05:32They're underdogs.

00:05:33I'm going to take the Chiefs plus one and a half.

00:05:35Also, Landon Dickerson out, right?

00:05:37That's big.

00:05:38You saw it in the second half when he got injured.

00:05:41That Eagles' offensive line is phenomenal.

00:05:43But they lose one piece, a really good piece, for a couple games,

00:05:47that, it starts to get a little bit different.

00:05:50It's not the dominant force that it's always been.

00:05:53So, I don't think the Eagles can pass the ball how they want to,

00:05:56how they will at the end of the season.

00:05:57I think it's a work in progress.

00:05:59I have the Chiefs at home.

00:06:00The more I have found out about working with him, the more he talks.

00:06:03Yes.

00:06:04The more he talks himself out of things.

00:06:06Out of stuff.

00:06:07Out of stuff.

00:06:08Out of stuff.

00:06:09The more he kept talking.

00:06:10What?

00:06:11Everything I said made sense.

00:06:12No.

00:06:13You got your version.

00:06:14We got the truth.

00:06:15And the truth will set us free.

00:06:16Listen, this is a week where you're never as bad as you were week one,

00:06:19and you're never as good as you were week one.

00:06:21Yeah.

00:06:22So, the Chiefs weren't as bad as it looked against the Chargers,

00:06:26and the Eagles weren't as good as it looked against the Cowboys at times.

00:06:29Regression to the mean.

00:06:31Both these teams are going to walk out of Sunday wanting more.

00:06:33So, you're going to tell me this team with all these receivers hurt.

00:06:36You're going to tell me this team with a 40-year-old tight end.

00:06:38Who's their quarterback?

00:06:39You're going to, listen.

00:06:40Who's their quarterback?

00:06:41The best quarterback in football.

00:06:42Who's their quarterback?

00:06:43The best quarterback in football.

00:06:45Who's their head coach?

00:06:46But this ain't about single players.

00:06:47Who's their head coach?

00:06:48This is about the best team.

00:06:49Football is the ultimate team sport.

00:06:50The best team put together right now is defending Super Bowl winning championship,

00:06:55the Philadelphia Eagles.

00:06:56Any given Sunday, Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, back against their wall,

00:07:00give me those guys.

00:07:02Do you think he believes himself?

00:07:03I absolutely believe it.

00:07:04I'm going to bet it.

00:07:05I love it.

00:07:06It's a tough spot.

00:07:07It's a tough spot for the Chiefs.

00:07:08We haven't seen the Chiefs facing an 0-2 start in a long time.

00:07:11Yeah, but next time they start at 0-2, they won the Super Bowl.

00:07:14Let me get a stat for you guys real quick.

00:07:15When Dan pulls out the stats, you guys are in trouble.

00:07:17Let me get a stat for you guys.

00:07:18I don't have a stat.

00:07:19That's a number.

00:07:20No stat.

00:07:21I sent the wrong thing.

00:07:22I got to wait for my, oh, I got a stat.

00:07:24Hold on.

00:07:25That iPhone 3 is just not buzzing.

00:07:27Listen, I cracked it.

00:07:28I'm getting a new one.

00:07:29All right.

00:07:30I understand.

00:07:31Kansas City off a loss.

00:07:33Mahomes is 21-4 straight up.

00:07:35Okay?

00:07:3621-4.

00:07:37He wasn't playing the Eagles.

00:07:38Off a loss.

00:07:39He wasn't playing the Eagles.

00:07:40That's a bounce back type of team.

00:07:42Good teams don't lose those two games in a row.

00:07:44I'm not worried about Mahomes.

00:07:45I'm not worried about Andy Reid at all.

00:07:47Those are two of the best.

00:07:48Okay.

00:07:49I'm just worried about my eyes.

00:07:50When I looked at last year's Super Bowl film,

00:07:52it was only a few months ago.

00:07:53Last year's last year.

00:07:54Last year's last year.

00:07:55Man.

00:07:56Yeah.

00:07:57Last year's last year.

00:07:58I really think this too.

00:07:59Vic Fangio, Jalen Carter, after what happened last week.

00:08:02Yes.

00:08:03They're going to tighten up the screws on this defense.

00:08:05Yeah.

00:08:06They better.

00:08:07That secondary looked a little itty.

00:08:08It didn't look very good.

00:08:09Dory Jackson struggled last week.

00:08:10Yeah.

00:08:11Let me be honest with you.

00:08:12The Chiefs, do they have enough to exploit that problem?

00:08:14I mean, Worthy's hurt.

00:08:15Rice is not playing.

00:08:16Yeah.

00:08:17And you said it.

00:08:18Other than a little stutter go on a blocking quick screen.

00:08:21That was the only catch I think he had.

00:08:23Yeah.

00:08:24I just don't feel the hardcore Chief running game.

00:08:26That's right.

00:08:27I don't feel it.

00:08:28Where's Bacheco?

00:08:29I just don't feel it yet.

00:08:30I'm hoping I discover it, but I just don't feel it.

00:08:33I love this.

00:08:34Yeah, you are.

00:08:35I just don't feel it.

00:08:36No, yeah, you are.

00:08:37So Sunday night, if the Chiefs do win, you're going to get a text from Dan and ask him to

00:08:41feel it.

00:08:42No, I'm not going to text him.

00:08:43That's what Dan does.

00:08:44He calls me when he's right.

00:08:45When he's wrong.

00:08:46Rubs it in your face.

00:08:49Listen.

00:08:50That's what you got to do back to him.

00:08:51I didn't text them this weekend.

00:08:52I almost did.

00:08:53No, you hailed me this week.

00:08:54The Titans were a little bit friskier than you guys thought.

00:08:57That's a fact.

00:08:58Frisky don't win games, coach.

00:08:59All right.

00:09:00Cover spreads.

00:09:01It does.

00:09:02Yeah, it does.

00:09:03That's what he cares about.

00:09:04It does.

00:09:05Which is what he cares about.

00:09:06All right.

00:09:07Let's move to the Sunday night football game.

00:09:08The Falcons at the Vikings.

00:09:09The Falcons losing to the Bucs, but obviously the big story being JJ McCarthy in the fourth

00:09:13quarter against your Bears, Dan.

00:09:14I'm so sorry about that.

00:09:15It was bad.

00:09:16Bad.

00:09:17Who are you taking in this game?

00:09:18I'm going to take the Falcons plus three and a half.

00:09:20I was impressed by the Falcons defense.

00:09:22Other than obviously Baker Mayfield, what he did in that two minute offense at the end

00:09:26of the game when he went down the field in five plays.

00:09:28I think the Falcons have found a little something with this defense.

00:09:31It looks a little bit better than it has in years past.

00:09:33I know they're going to have a couple guys out, but I think the Falcons can be in this

00:09:36game.

00:09:37And I like Michael Penix.

00:09:39I do.

00:09:40I think he, I like him.

00:09:41I like Michael Penix.

00:09:42I love the left hand.

00:09:43I love the delivery.

00:09:44Soft touch on his ball.

00:09:46B.J. Robinson runs the ball well.

00:09:48Drake London can catch the ball.

00:09:49Kyle Pitts is like he's coming into his own.

00:09:51But that ain't enough.

00:09:52Let's go.

00:09:53I'm going with the Minnesota Vikings.

00:09:55You know why?

00:09:56Because it's hard to go to US Bank Stadium and beat them in Minnesota.

00:10:00That's nice.

00:10:01Especially when that defense travels.

00:10:02Last time I checked, defense is always going to be there.

00:10:05All right?

00:10:06They're going to make them one dimensional, make Michael Penix beat them.

00:10:08I'm going with the Minnesota Vikings.

00:10:10Coach.

00:10:11The other thing I will say, because I am picking against the spread, it's three and a

00:10:13half point spread.

00:10:14Three and a half point spread, I can't get screwed by.

00:10:17Because you get three from being at home.

00:10:19Yeah.

00:10:20Well, and Young Wei Koo, again, can't, you know, when he misses a kick, when he lines

00:10:23up for a kick to go to overtime at the end of Sunday night and it's, you know, 27-24

00:10:28and he misses the kick, guess what?

00:10:30I still cover.

00:10:31This is a cool game though because you got the two quarterbacks that squared off against

00:10:34each other in the national championship.

00:10:36Yeah.

00:10:37And McCarthy.

00:10:38I'm worried about the Vikings on a short week.

00:10:41Cashman, their leading tacklers, out.

00:10:43Mm-hmm.

00:10:44Van Ginkle's in concussion protocol.

00:10:46Those two guys don't play.

00:10:47That's a big loss.

00:10:48Harrison Smith didn't play last week.

00:10:50He's not ready to go.

00:10:51So, it's not the same Minnesota Viking defense that's out there doing this.

00:10:56He got a bunch of other guys.

00:10:58I do like the fact that the Vikings can run the football now.

00:11:02Yes.

00:11:03Not just throw it.

00:11:04And with the Atlanta Falcons, I love Bijan Robinson.

00:11:07But what is their running game, man?

00:11:09They don't run it.

00:11:10They don't run a ball worth a damn.

00:11:11They don't stick to it.

00:11:12What the hell?

00:11:13I mean, they lose yards, they run a wild play on the goal line.

00:11:15I just don't feel the Falcons with an identity.

00:11:19I don't know what they're doing.

00:11:20Yeah.

00:11:21I can't go with the Falcons on the road against Minnesota.

00:11:24I'm going to take the Vikings in a tough, hard-nosed, low-scoring game.

00:11:28And, Coach, you've got J.J. McCarthy making his home debut after being named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week.

00:11:32What can you expect from him?

00:11:34You know, I don't know how he got the Offensive Player of the Week.

00:11:36He only threw for 150 yards.

00:11:38That's how he needed, Coach.

00:11:39They got Justin Jefferson.

00:11:41And at the end of the day, there's going to be two or three or four times in the game he's one-on-one.

00:11:45And that guy's capable of dominating the game.

00:11:48I like McCarthy.

00:11:49I want to love him.

00:11:51But I want to see a little bit more out of the passing game this week.

00:11:55I do like the fact they can run it with Aaron Jones and Mason.

00:11:58And Derisaw, their starting left tackle, might play this week.

00:12:02I think the Vikings, though, with the injuries on defense, they're kind of a mixed bag.

00:12:07But Kevin O'Connell, they win the close games, man.

00:12:10They win the close games.

00:12:11And they're going to win a close one Sunday.

00:12:13And I'm going to call Big Cat and let them know.

00:12:15If they win a close one, I'll take your call and be like, guess what?

00:12:18We both won.

00:12:19Yeah, that's the problem with the spread.

00:12:21We still win.

00:12:22Yes, he has these ways of getting things done.

00:12:24Yes, yes, yes.

00:12:26Okay, it's time for Jerry coordinator week two.

00:12:28I have to say, the people loved this.

00:12:30I love this.

00:12:31So last week, Jerry, he tried to pull one over on Coach.

00:12:34Turns out Coach actually wrote the play for the longest yard.

00:12:39You are actually in the credits.

00:12:40I had people tweeting at me, like, showing your name and picture and everything.

00:12:43Yeah, I know you sent me a video.

00:12:44Yeah, I had to fake check you, too.

00:12:45I didn't trust you on Coach.

00:12:47It was in my life.

00:12:48So remember, Jerry, you can't pull one over on Coach this time.

00:12:51No, I'm not going to pull one over.

00:12:52I actually prepped for this one.

00:12:53So I'm actually more prepared.

00:12:55I got 11 guys now.

00:12:56So we're good.

00:12:57Okay.

00:12:58All right.

00:12:59Here we go, John.

00:13:00First play of the game.

00:13:01First play of the game.

00:13:02He had to write that down?

00:13:03I wrote it down.

00:13:04First play of the game.

00:13:05Okay.

00:13:06Is it still hate it, love it, like it?

00:13:07Yeah, yeah.

00:13:08Hate it, love it, like it.

00:13:09Love it, like it, love it.

00:13:10Okay.

00:13:11No crowd control here.

00:13:12No comments.

00:13:13Don't try to sway you, Coach.

00:13:15I will call out if he doesn't get 11 guys on the field.

00:13:17He's probably going to have 10 and a half.

00:13:19It's a chance.

00:13:20Maybe, yeah, maybe add an extra.

00:13:22I got faith in Jerry.

00:13:23He need to make the center square or something.

00:13:26He should practice his circles.

00:13:27Yeah.

00:13:28Running.

00:13:29Oh, he's locked in, Coach.

00:13:30He's locked in.

00:13:31What do you think about Wildcat, John?

00:13:33You like Wildcat?

00:13:34No, we don't.

00:13:35Okay, fair.

00:13:36You're going to love this, though.

00:13:37You're going to love this.

00:13:38Okay.

00:13:39Guys, I got 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.

00:13:42Perfect.

00:13:43Okay.

00:13:44Is that the pistol?

00:13:45The pistol, but it's not going to be in a second.

00:13:47Quarterback motion, John, right?

00:13:49Oh.

00:13:50Quarterback motion.

00:13:51Mm-hmm.

00:13:52Over here.

00:13:53This is the tight end, sorry.

00:13:54Guard, tackle, tight end.

00:13:55I should have marked that, John.

00:13:56Sorry.

00:13:57Mm-hmm.

00:13:58Tight end.

00:13:59Two tight ends.

00:14:00Two tight ends set.

00:14:01All right.

00:14:02Wide receiver one, wide receiver two.

00:14:03Okay, so this is the...

00:14:05Quarterback's going to be in motion this way, okay?

00:14:07Quarterback goes in motion, direct snap to the actual running back, not the quarterback.

00:14:14Quarterback's over here.

00:14:15Mm-hmm.

00:14:16I want this receiver on a drag route.

00:14:17Let's get these defenders moving this way.

00:14:19Okay.

00:14:20And I also want the line to slide this way, John.

00:14:23Okay.

00:14:24Line's going to slide this way.

00:14:25This receiver brings all these linebackers here with them over here.

00:14:29Wide receiver here, fly route, just like a fade, and just go.

00:14:33Now, direct snap to the running back, gets it.

00:14:37Quarterback comes back in motion this way, gets the ball.

00:14:42Running back hides behind the offensive line.

00:14:45You can barely see him.

00:14:46Nobody knows what the running back is.

00:14:48The quarterback throws a screen to the running back down the sideline, touchdown.

00:14:54Wait, how did the quarterback get the ball back?

00:14:56No, I see what...

00:14:57The running back gives it back to him.

00:14:59So, who is blocking for these people?

00:15:01Larry Allen?

00:15:02The lineman.

00:15:03The lineman.

00:15:04I'm just saying...

00:15:05The tight end blocking too.

00:15:06Do you know how long it would take this play for him to snap it to the running back,

00:15:11come back around like we did with Deebo Samuels, give it back to the quarterback,

00:15:15then throw a screen to the running back?

00:15:17It takes about a second and a half.

00:15:18Oh, no!

00:15:19Yes!

00:15:20Coach Jer!

00:15:21Let him go do it, Coach Jer!

00:15:22I got it.

00:15:23This is a good play.

00:15:24You're not going to see the running back.

00:15:25He's looking.

00:15:26He's looking.

00:15:27Coach.

00:15:28You know, Jerry, I work for Ron Wolf and Al Davis, and they're both in the Hall of Fame.

00:15:32Okay.

00:15:33And if I went into the locker room after the game, calling that play on the very first play

00:15:37of the game...

00:15:38You're going to love it.

00:15:39You're fired.

00:15:40I'm fired.

00:15:41First of all, no one can even understand what the hell you just said.

00:15:46You know, I mean, the ball snapped directly to a running back.

00:15:50Correct.

00:15:51Does he hand it back to the quarterback and throws a screen?

00:15:53No, the quarterback comes back around like he's going this way.

00:15:55Yes.

00:15:56And then he comes back.

00:15:57And gets the ball.

00:15:58Gets the ball.

00:15:59And then throws a screen.

00:16:00Like, who's blocking?

00:16:01It's the linemen.

00:16:02Munoz.

00:16:03The linemen.

00:16:04Larry Allen.

00:16:05They've got to be the world's greatest office linemen.

00:16:06You don't like this, John?

00:16:07This is good.

00:16:08There's no protection that can hold it up.

00:16:09Boy.

00:16:10I don't know, man.

00:16:11You know, you motion a quarterback out of the backfield.

00:16:14Yeah.

00:16:15I get a little nervous.

00:16:16Yeah.

00:16:17Who's the running back?

00:16:18Is it?

00:16:19Who's the running back?

00:16:20The running back doesn't matter.

00:16:21Well, it definitely matters.

00:16:22He's got to be small.

00:16:23He's got to be small.

00:16:24You know how I know you guys are wrong?

00:16:26I got this play from Andrew Luck.

00:16:28And you know what they did?

00:16:3060 yards down the sideline.

00:16:31Did they?

00:16:32Yeah.

00:16:33Who are they playing?

00:16:34The school of the Browns?

00:16:35I don't know.

00:16:36You know who's the running back?

00:16:37Frank Gore.

00:16:38Frank Gore.

00:16:39And Andrew Luck.

00:16:40Mm-hmm.

00:16:41Mm-hmm.

00:16:42I got a feeling they did.

00:16:43But I added a little twist to this.

00:16:44I've been saying they had to talk.

00:16:45They had this tight end on a drag route.

00:16:49I kept them blocking just in case.

00:16:51Okay.

00:16:52That's smart.

00:16:53Just in case.

00:16:54You know, I feel speechless.

00:16:55Yeah.

00:16:56But you've been speechless.

00:16:58You're processing.

00:16:59I do like the creativity.

00:17:00And when you throw Andrew Luck and Frank Gore into the equation.

00:17:03Two of the best.

00:17:04That's good.

00:17:05I'm going to have to look into this.

00:17:06Two of the best.

00:17:07I do keep an open mind.

00:17:09You know, I have an open mind.

00:17:10I like that.

00:17:11Coach, I just don't know who's going to block that up for you, though.

00:17:13That's a long play.

00:17:15Yeah.

00:17:16But the defense thinks, oh, my God, trick play.

00:17:20They're trying to hit somebody down the field.

00:17:22It just seems like you're trying to be different, Jerry.

00:17:24Yeah.

00:17:25You know, turn around.

00:17:26Hand the ball off to your best back.

00:17:28Set a freaking tone, man.

00:17:29Run power.

00:17:30I don't need all these freaking gadget plays.

00:17:33Guys wearing number zero.

00:17:34Plays like that to start a game.

00:17:36Start a game.

00:17:39So what you're saying is we're 0 for 2 for Jerry Courtney?

00:17:42I can't imagine starting a game with that.

00:17:44Yeah, I can't.

00:17:45Finish the one with that either.

00:17:46I thought they could get the defense, you know, on their heels a little bit.

00:17:48That's a good play.

00:17:49That's an old Bill Cowher play when you get past the 50.

00:17:51Maybe take your one shot.

00:17:52I'm going to come tomorrow.

00:17:53You know, next week I'm coming with something basic.

00:17:55Yeah.

00:17:56Just run power.

00:17:57Yeah.

00:17:58Power Bobbo.

00:17:59Why don't you just open up his playbook and just run his plays,

00:18:02and you know he'll love it.

00:18:03You do not want to run this spider.

00:18:05Do not run this spider wide banana.

00:18:07Do not.

00:18:08All right.

00:18:09All right.

00:18:10We'll try again next week.

00:18:11It's hard to refocus after.

00:18:12Good play.

00:18:13Kind of threw us off.

00:18:14Here.

00:18:15Let me just set the new game up, Coach.

00:18:17You can think about it for a second.

00:18:18Okay.

00:18:19Game of the week presented by the Chevy Silverado.

00:18:21The Buccaneers at the Texans.

00:18:22Dan, the Texans minus two and a half.

00:18:24We've got Baker Mayfield versus CJ Stroud.

00:18:26Fred, I will start with you.

00:18:28What are you liking in this game?

00:18:29Buccaneers at the Texans.

00:18:31I thought the Texans offensive line had more holes in it than Swiss cheese.

00:18:35Mm-hmm.

00:18:36I didn't think they protected anybody.

00:18:38And I know one thing about Villavea and their defensive line that they got down there in Tampa.

00:18:43They will get after you.

00:18:44But I got to get three points for the Texans being at home.

00:18:47I think they dig they self out of the hole.

00:18:49They come back and win this game late, maybe by a field goal.

00:18:52I'm going to go with the home team.

00:18:54I'm going with the Texans.

00:18:55Dan?

00:18:56All right.

00:18:57You're correct.

00:18:58Texans.

00:18:59You don't look as bad as you did week one.

00:19:01I think the Texans defense obviously was very good against the Rams.

00:19:05Their offense has some problems.

00:19:06But the Bucs, Coach, the Bucs outside of that two-minute drill at the end of the game,

00:19:12their offense struggled.

00:19:13Like they weren't moving the ball consistently.

00:19:16And I think it's going to take a little bit more time.

00:19:18Defenses are ahead of offenses in the first month of the season.

00:19:22I trust the Texans defense more than I trust the Bucs offense in this game.

00:19:27I like the Bucs.

00:19:28I mean, what the Bucs did last week, they took their starting center.

00:19:31If you're listening at home, Graham Barton is their center.

00:19:34He played left tackle against the Falcons.

00:19:37They put their guard at center and they had a guy named Michael Jordan playing left guard.

00:19:41They totally reassembled their offensive line.

00:19:44They go to Atlanta, a divisional rival on the road, and win the game in the two-minute drill

00:19:50with this makeshift offensive line.

00:19:51No pass rush.

00:19:52They're going to win again.

00:19:53They're going to win back-to-back games with the reshuffled offensive line

00:19:57because of Bucky Irvin, Mike Evans, and our rookie, Egbuka.

00:20:01Yeah.

00:20:02He's something else, man.

00:20:03You don't believe it.

00:20:04I'm just telling you.

00:20:05Bucs win.

00:20:07You said it.

00:20:08The Houston Texans, they appear to be a little bit of a mess on offense.

00:20:11They are.

00:20:12I don't know how they run the ball.

00:20:13Chubb is great to see him back, but it was three yards and a cloud of dust

00:20:16and a lot of pressure on Stroud.

00:20:18But Graham Barton, he took on a rookie by the name of James Pierce Jr. last week.

00:20:23He's taking on Will Anderson Jr. this week.

00:20:25That's going to be a whole other challenge.

00:20:27And the one thing I know about when it comes to tackles,

00:20:30they need to have a reach on them, a long reach.

00:20:33And Barton, he got those alligator arms.

00:20:35They're kind of short.

00:20:36They won't do well against Will Anderson Jr.

00:20:39All I'm saying, that could be the determining factor.

00:20:41I'm with the big catfish.

00:20:42Yep.

00:20:43Defense over offense on the road.

00:20:45Take it, Tampa Bay.

00:20:46Watch the screen if you're the Houston Texans.

00:20:49And watch out, because the Bucs are going to be 2-0

00:20:52with two impressive road wins.

00:20:54I'm telling you.

00:20:56You're talking with some confidence.

00:20:57I have a lot of confidence in this team.

00:20:58I really do.

00:20:59All right, let's go to the playbook picks of the week

00:21:28Okay, Dan, we know you always go with the Bears.

00:21:31Bears.

00:21:32Just first of all, before we get into the Bears versus the Lions,

00:21:35how are you feeling after Monday?

00:21:37It was bad Monday night.

00:21:38I got very low.

00:21:40I have now come out of that funk.

00:21:42I did text coach on Wednesday morning.

00:21:45I said, what do you see?

00:21:46How bad was it?

00:21:47And he said, it's not great right now.

00:21:49I think Caleb Williams still is struggling with the feel for the game,

00:21:52hitting guys when they're open before they're open.

00:21:55So it wasn't great.

00:21:57Like, I didn't walk away from that game saying he's gotten, you know, markedly better.

00:22:02But this guy right here told me to be patient.

00:22:04So I'm going to be patient.

00:22:05I think the Bears could possibly win this game.

00:22:07I definitely think we're going to cover the six.

00:22:09The Lions, it's very easy to say it's the offensive and defensive coordinator change

00:22:14that had the Lions come out flat week one.

00:22:16I think it's a lot more correct to say that offensive line is not what it was

00:22:22the last two years and what they built off of.

00:22:24That's what they were built off of.

00:22:26They had an offensive line that could ram it down your throat.

00:22:29They had an offensive line that could let Jared Goff have play action.

00:22:32I don't think it's the same because obviously they've lost some guys

00:22:35in the interior part of the offensive line.

00:22:37And the Bears' defense looked pretty good.

00:22:38Yeah.

00:22:39Three quarters, they had a nice pass rush.

00:22:40I think the Bears are going to be in this game.

00:22:42I think Caleb Williams is going to play better.

00:22:43They're going to cover, maybe win.

00:22:45Coach?

00:22:46I think it's going to be a tight game.

00:22:47I want to see the Bears get at full strength on defense.

00:22:49Yep.

00:22:50Edwards is an excellent linebacker.

00:22:51TJ Edwards, yep.

00:22:52Their best corner, Johnson, didn't play.

00:22:54And I told you, I love their slot corner, Gordon.

00:22:56He didn't play either.

00:22:57He didn't play either.

00:22:58So if those three guys play, that could help Chicago.

00:23:02I just don't like the Bears' pass rush.

00:23:04Their fourth quarter pass rush, I just don't feel it.

00:23:07I'm concerned against Detroit.

00:23:09Do they have enough guys to rush the passer?

00:23:12But you said it.

00:23:13The Lions' offensive line is a problem.

00:23:15They blew some assignments last week.

00:23:18The center's not there.

00:23:19The right guard's a rookie.

00:23:21The left guard, I mean, and Decker at left tackle,

00:23:24he's nursing a shoulder.

00:23:25And their backup left tackle got hurt.

00:23:27He's out for the year.

00:23:28So does the Bears have the guys up front to dominate like Green Bay did?

00:23:34Yeah.

00:23:35I don't know that.

00:23:36I just think Jared Goff versus Caleb Williams.

00:23:39Yes.

00:23:40At home, in the dome, Lions are going to cover the spread.

00:23:43They're going to win convincing.

00:23:44Oh.

00:23:45Brad?

00:23:46Coach is totally correct.

00:23:47We're not going to be a Homer Simpson on this one.

00:23:50I know you want to.

00:23:51Like, the one thing we will when we go on for a team,

00:23:53we will make up reasons why they should win.

00:23:55But guess what?

00:23:56You're going to the Lions' den in Detroit.

00:23:58Uh-huh.

00:23:59You're getting three points for being home.

00:24:00Uh-huh.

00:24:01They have the better quarterback.

00:24:02They have the better head coach.

00:24:03They have the better running game.

00:24:05They have the better defense with Aiden Hutchinson to me

00:24:07and Campbell and the rest of those guys.

00:24:09They're going to look to get back on their feet also.

00:24:12Nothing makes a team play harder than coming back from a game

00:24:16they feel like they should have won.

00:24:17So I'm going with the Detroit Lions.

00:24:19I'm going with Motown.

00:24:20I'm going with Ford.

00:24:21I'm going with everything Detroit on this one.

00:24:23There's a lot of pressure, I think, on the Bears.

00:24:26Yeah.

00:24:27I told you last week, I really felt they needed to win that first game.

00:24:30Yeah.

00:24:31At home, Monday Night Football.

00:24:32Get the taste of them out.

00:24:33Against the Minnesota team.

00:24:34Yeah.

00:24:35It's really been re-wired.

00:24:36Trying to find themselves.

00:24:37I mean, they got players everywhere.

00:24:38Yeah.

00:24:39You should win that game against a guy that's never played in a starting game

00:24:42like McCarthy.

00:24:43Yeah.

00:24:44They had to win that game.

00:24:45And if they go 0-2 and they don't play well offensively

00:24:48and the quarterback comes out there with that funky t-shirt on.

00:24:51I was going to say, he had on the great t-shirt.

00:24:53Very good t-shirt.

00:24:55What's wrong?

00:24:56He came out there dressed like a hobo trying to jump on a train.

00:24:59Just with DJ Moore.

00:25:01I'm just telling you.

00:25:02You know what?

00:25:03Usually you got a guy that's in charge of the uniform.

00:25:05Yeah.

00:25:06We got a guy on the sideline.

00:25:07We pay the guy.

00:25:08Yeah.

00:25:09If you came out with socks down around your ankles.

00:25:11That's $2,000.

00:25:12$2,000.

00:25:13He would say, put your socks up.

00:25:14Yes.

00:25:15We all have to wear the uniform like everybody.

00:25:17Correct way.

00:25:18Just play good.

00:25:19I don't care.

00:25:20Guys can come out trying to be different.

00:25:21He can come out naked if he plays well.

00:25:22I don't care.

00:25:23No, no, no.

00:25:24No, no.

00:25:25It's going to be a problem if they start 0-2, I believe.

00:25:28Okay.

00:25:29Coach, your playbook picked the Giants at the Cowboys.

00:25:31Giants fans are down bad right now.

00:25:33I'm going to try to pick the Giants fans up right now.

00:25:35Okay.

00:25:36I like the Cowboys.

00:25:37They played their butts off last week.

00:25:39They did.

00:25:40I like what they're doing on defense, but Bland is hurt.

00:25:43They're starting corners out for several weeks.

00:25:46Diggs, their other corner is beat up.

00:25:48I don't know who their nickel corner is.

00:25:50Hooker, their free safety is beat up.

00:25:52Yeah.

00:25:53Here's what I want to see.

00:25:54I want to see Russell Wilson start the game and go through it.

00:25:57But I want to see my man, Jackson Dart, come in middle of the second quarter.

00:26:02And I want to see him throw for 300 yards.

00:26:04I want to see Malik neighbors on about 74 different targets.

00:26:10I want to see the Giants.

00:26:11I like that.

00:26:12The Giants have been humiliated by the Cowboys.

00:26:15I think they've lost 100 in a row.

00:26:16Yeah.

00:26:17What is it?

00:26:18Yeah.

00:26:19I don't know.

00:26:20It's a lot.

00:26:21Look at that.

00:26:22That beat them 13 seconds.

00:26:23I want to see the Giants under Day Bowl and Kafka put together an offensive game plan

00:26:26to exploit the injuries in the Cowboys secondary and shock Dallas in Dallas.

00:26:30You love Jackson Dart that much, huh?

00:26:32I love Jackson Dart.

00:26:33I love Jackson Dart too.

00:26:34Coach, I want it to rain gold.

00:26:36And I want to go to the end of that rainbow and get that pot of gold.

00:26:39But that ain't going to happen, Coach.

00:26:40Here's a mistake.

00:26:41I'm going with my heart here.

00:26:43There we go.

00:26:44I want to root for the Giants.

00:26:47I like this pick.

00:26:48This is what got me in trouble last week.

00:26:49I want to see the Giants get a lead too.

00:26:50And I want to see this pass rush unleashed.

00:26:53It's hard for the Giant pass rushers to go crazy when you're down 21-6.

00:26:58They've got to score some points.

00:27:00And when they do get a lead, you might see a real pass rush that could reinvent the Giant

00:27:06football program.

00:27:07You know what?

00:27:08Go Giants!

00:27:09Go Giants!

00:27:10It ain't nothing like Russell Wilson walking to their hut and bringing the guys in and

00:27:14saying, you know what, guys?

00:27:15Let's ride.

00:27:16When he's doing that, it's over with, Coach.

00:27:19I just said I wanted to see.

00:27:20No, no, no.

00:27:21All I'm telling you right now, that ain't realistic what you're doing.

00:27:24I'd like to be realistic.

00:27:25We're going to pull the trigger this week.

00:27:26You watch.

00:27:27And what I do like is when I watched that Cowboys game the other day, I was like,

00:27:31is that skinny Dak Prescott?

00:27:32Yeah, he looks good.

00:27:33Skinny Dak Prescott likes to run.

00:27:35And when he balance his game with passing the ball and running the game,

00:27:38then you got a CD Lamb that's coming off that game feeling like I left a lot on the table.

00:27:42George Pickens didn't even get in the game.

00:27:44He didn't even make the plays happen.

00:27:45Mark my word.

00:27:47That pass rush for the Giants won't be enough because I just seen them fall short.

00:27:51I'm going to tell you what's going to happen.

00:27:53The Cowboys are going to run the score up on the New York Giants.

00:27:56All right, Dan, where do you land on this one?

00:27:58I'm taking the Giants plus four and a half.

00:28:00We're in my stinky zone.

00:28:02The next few picks are going to be really gross.

00:28:04But it's, again, the Giants, I believe in their defense.

00:28:09They were never in that game because Russell Wilson can't move the offense.

00:28:12He knows that it's, like, it's it.

00:28:14Like, he's about to be.

00:28:16He on the clock.

00:28:17He is on the clock.

00:28:18So, I'm going to take the Giants plus four and a half.

00:28:21I don't know if they can win the game, but they're going to cover.

00:28:23Wow.

00:28:24Okay, Fred.

00:28:25Your playbook pick.

00:28:26Playbook pick.

00:28:27The Rams, the Titans.

00:28:28You know what?

00:28:29I got to give the Titans some love.

00:28:30Oh.

00:28:31Cam came out.

00:28:32Huh.

00:28:33They played hard as a group.

00:28:34You can tell that they're building their thing from inside out.

00:28:36Anyone say that?

00:28:37Anyone say that last week?

00:28:38I don't know.

00:28:39The Titans were going to be in that game?

00:28:40I don't know my amnesia would be messing with me sometimes.

00:28:42Interesting.

00:28:43You can tell what?

00:28:44Interesting.

00:28:45I can tell they're building it from the inside out.

00:28:46They're building an offensive line there to protect him.

00:28:48Their defensive line, too, is good.

00:28:49Their defensive line, Simmons from Mississippi.

00:28:51They got sacked six times by six different guys, right?

00:28:54They're building.

00:28:55They're building.

00:28:57They're building inside out.

00:28:59I didn't say they finished building, Coach.

00:29:01Coach is coming with the seats, man.

00:29:02No, no.

00:29:03What I'm saying, I didn't say they was finished building.

00:29:05I say they are building something.

00:29:07They did not look like a team that just had the number one pick.

00:29:10That's all I'm saying.

00:29:11They look like a team that's a little ahead of schedule.

00:29:13They're going to be a little bit better than people think they are.

00:29:15They're going to be tough on defense.

00:29:17They're going to try like hell to run the ball out into it.

00:29:20French is saying everything I said last week.

00:29:22Thank you for repeating that.

00:29:23Sometimes greatness needs to be repeated.

00:29:25Abraham Lincoln did it.

00:29:27I can do it.

00:29:28So at the end of the day, this is what I'm saying.

00:29:30Is it going to be a challenge for the LA Rams?

00:29:33Yes, it is.

00:29:34But at the end of the day, I think third, fourth quarter,

00:29:36it'll start to get away from the Tennessee Titans.

00:29:39The Rams will start to poke away.

00:29:40A lot of Puka Nakula.

00:29:42A lot of Stafford.

00:29:44They can run the score up.

00:29:45I'm going to go with the Rams.

00:29:46And since it's, what's the spread on there?

00:29:48Plus five?

00:29:49Five and a half.

00:29:50I'll put that at plus nine.

00:29:52Okay.

00:29:53Love that.

00:29:54I would love to take that right now.

00:29:55Dan?

00:29:56I'm going to take the Titans plus five and a half.

00:29:57Look, the Titans, I told you guys last week, you laughed at me.

00:29:59You said I was crazy.

00:30:00I said they were going to be in that game against the Broncos.

00:30:02Their defense can keep them in this game.

00:30:04And the Rams offense was not good last week.

00:30:07It wasn't.

00:30:08It's going to take a little time.

00:30:10Obviously Stafford missed all of the training camp.

00:30:13They're going to be in this game.

00:30:14The Titans are going to be in this game.

00:30:15They also left so much.

00:30:16They had so many penalties.

00:30:18They had terrible play calling at the end of the half

00:30:20that basically gifted the Broncos a touchdown.

00:30:22There's a lot of things that they can clean up.

00:30:24I think they're going to have a better effort,

00:30:26and it's plus five and a half.

00:30:28Hold your nose.

00:30:29Coach, whenever you look at me and smile when they're talking,

00:30:31I never know which way you're going to go.

00:30:33So, what do you think about that take?

00:30:35I'm going to take the Rams.

00:30:36Don't forget about their front at L.A.

00:30:38Don't forget about their front at L.A., their defensive front.

00:30:41Don't you forget about those guys.

00:30:42I'm not forgetting about them.

00:30:44I think the Rams are going to win this game.

00:30:46I'm very disappointed in the Titans last week.

00:30:49I mean, they had a chance.

00:30:50You're never going to have Bo Nix play that poorly.

00:30:53Yes.

00:30:54Never again.

00:30:55Are you sure?

00:30:56You will.

00:30:57That was not a good day for Bo Nix, but you've got to win those games.

00:31:00You've got to win those games.

00:31:01You do.

00:31:02They didn't win that game.

00:31:03They couldn't protect the passer.

00:31:05I'm going with the Rams.

00:31:06I'm going with the Rams.

00:31:07Matt Stafford versus a young quarterback.

00:31:09Rams win.

00:31:10Yes.

00:31:11Yes.

00:31:12And a young coach going against Sean McVay.

00:31:14Everything leans in the Rams way.

00:31:16I don't like either one of these teams' uniforms.

00:31:18I'll be honest.

00:31:19The Rams got some of the sexiest uniforms in sports.

00:31:22God, I could not go out there with that uniform.

00:31:25I could not do it.

00:31:26But you wore the, what, the 2012, 13 Buccaneers uniforms?

00:31:31Yeah.

00:31:32With the gray on the shoulders?

00:31:33I can't stand them.

00:31:34Oh, I almost threw up in my mouth watching those uniforms.

00:31:37Love a good-spirited uniform debate with Coach Gruden.

00:32:01All right, Rapid Fire, guys.

00:32:03We're going to start with the Bills at the Jets.

00:32:05Coach?

00:32:06I'm going with the Bills.

00:32:07I like what Justin Fields did last week.

00:32:09I was really disappointed in the Jets' defense.

00:32:12Yeah.

00:32:13They had a lot of missed tackles.

00:32:14They just overran some plays.

00:32:16They didn't look good at all on defense.

00:32:19And when you say that with Buffalo coming to town,

00:32:21I know they're coming in on a short week.

00:32:23Yeah.

00:32:24And I know it's always a tight game between these two teams.

00:32:26Yeah.

00:32:27I am really impressed with the emergence of Coleman, the young receiver.

00:32:31Yeah.

00:32:32And I think Josh Allen, he's just too good for the NFL.

00:32:36I think the MVP is going to show up and win this game big.

00:32:39Dan?

00:32:40Okay, I told you we're going to hold our nose.

00:32:41We're going to take the Jets plus six and a half.

00:32:42You want to talk about defense.

00:32:43That Bills defense is not good.

00:32:44Not good.

00:32:45They might get good, but they're not good right now.

00:32:47I think the Jets are going to be in this game.

00:32:49It's going to be a tight game, division game.

00:32:52Josh Allen has not been his best in this stadium.

00:32:56I'm going to take the Jets plus six and a half.

00:32:58Well, it's always tricky when you're talking about divisional games.

00:33:00It's always tricky.

00:33:01But when I look at it, it's all about continuity.

00:33:03What team has been together the longest?

00:33:05What team knows each other best?

00:33:06I've got to go with the older team, the more mature team.

00:33:09I'm going with the Buffalo Bills.

00:33:10They've got the better coach.

00:33:11They've got the better quarterback.

00:33:13Every check says Buffalo Bills.

00:33:15But because it's division game, I want to stray away from it.

00:33:18But I'm going with the Buffalo Bills that win this one right now.

00:33:21It's their time right now.

00:33:22Okay, Dan, the Browns at the Ravens.

00:33:24Both of these teams losing by one last week.

00:33:27Too many points.

00:33:28Give me the Browns.

00:33:29Also, crazy that the Ravens are doing their 30th anniversary in front of the Browns.

00:33:34You should.

00:33:35That's a fucked up move.

00:33:37They stole the Browns from them.

00:33:39I stand with Browns fans.

00:33:41That's a fucked up move.

00:33:42The Ravens stole the Browns out of Cleveland.

00:33:45Now they're doing their 30th year in Baltimore celebration in front of the Browns.

00:33:49Pretty petty.

00:33:50Listen, the Ravens are going to win this game.

00:33:51I, unfortunately, have to pick against the spread.

00:33:54So I'm going to take the Browns plus 11 and a half.

00:33:56Okay, Fred?

00:33:57Petty Winford.

00:33:58I love when teams are petty.

00:34:00Me too.

00:34:01The pettiness of it.

00:34:02And I have to say this.

00:34:04But they're not even claiming.

00:34:05They're claiming they already had planned it.

00:34:07Say you're being petty.

00:34:08No, no, no.

00:34:09It's petty.

00:34:10But I enjoy the fact that the Browns have the best football fans in the world.

00:34:14They do.

00:34:15Dog pound.

00:34:16They just do.

00:34:17You see that wedding?

00:34:18They have been through so much.

00:34:19And they still show up each and every weekend to see them get abused time after time.

00:34:24Oh, for God's sake.

00:34:25They don't care.

00:34:26I'm going with my guys from the beltway, 495.

00:34:31I'm going with the Baltimore Ravens.

00:34:33I think on defense, they want to show that they are better than they was last week.

00:34:37And on offense, nobody's stopping King Henry right now.

00:34:40Nobody's stopping Lamar Jackson.

00:34:41Zay Flowers is coming to his own.

00:34:43They about to get shell-shocked.

00:34:44They better have more than emotions if the Browns want to win this one.

00:34:47Two things I think are really cool.

00:34:49You say effed up.

00:34:50I say cool.

00:34:51Because, you know, I got a better choice of, you know, adjectives.

00:34:54Yeah, yeah.

00:34:55Anyways, Joe Flacco returns.

00:34:57Mm-hmm.

00:34:58Joe Flacco returns.

00:34:59What a Super Bowl with the Ravens.

00:35:02Trying to beat his 31st team in the NFL.

00:35:04It would be unbelievable.

00:35:05There's only four guys who have beaten all 32.

00:35:06He's trying to beat his 31st.

00:35:08I think I heard you say it last week, Dan.

00:35:09Flacco can still throw it.

00:35:10He can.

00:35:11You see that ball?

00:35:12I mean, he can really hum it.

00:35:13And he still stands in the pocket.

00:35:14I'm not shocked that cut from you from the granddaddy of old quarterback coach.

00:35:17I love Flacco.

00:35:19But, Coach, more than anything, it's his ability to still stand in the pocket.

00:35:22Because you see it with older quarterbacks.

00:35:24They don't want to get hit the same way.

00:35:26He's standing in there throwing the ball two milliseconds before getting killed.

00:35:31Really cool that he's going back.

00:35:32Yes.

00:35:33Okay?

00:35:34And it's sentimental.

00:35:35I'm sure the fans are going to welcome him back.

00:35:36They're excited to see their Super Bowl champion quarterback.

00:35:38But I know what Flacco's thinking.

00:35:40He's like, damn.

00:35:41You never want to play a good football team after they got their ass beat.

00:35:46Yes.

00:35:47Raven defense.

00:35:48They really better have a good week.

00:35:50What happened last year?

00:35:51I expect Harbaugh to have this defense ready.

00:35:53What happened last year?

00:35:54I really think the Raven defense is going to be frothing at the mouth to get right after

00:35:59what happened on national team.

00:36:00What happened last year?

00:36:01There's no way he's going to be it.

00:36:02I think the Ravens are going to have three interceptions and cause four or five turnovers.

00:36:07I think they're going to come together and get a very good one.

00:36:09I like how you just went.

00:36:10What happened last year?

00:36:11I like how Coach just built Flacco up and told him that.

00:36:14He just built him up and put him there.

00:36:16I have a feel about this.

00:36:17I knew this was.

00:36:18The Ravens.

00:36:19Hold on.

00:36:20Watch out.

00:36:21What happened last year?

00:36:22I know that.

00:36:23I'm not talking about last year.

00:36:24Okay.

00:36:25I'm talking about this Sunday.

00:36:26You were talking about last year when we were doing Eagles Chiefs.

00:36:27I cannot believe.

00:36:28But he said he has a feeling this year.

00:36:30I'm just saying the Ravens had the same exact situation last year.

00:36:37They lost a heartbreaker with Isaiah Likely's foot, you know, being a little out of bounds

00:36:41against the Chiefs in opening night.

00:36:42Then they're the Raiders week two.

00:36:44And there were two touchdown favorites and they blew that game.

00:36:48Just saying.

00:36:49It can happen.

00:36:50No.

00:36:51Not a chance.

00:36:52Not a chance.

00:36:53He has a feeling, okay?

00:36:55Yeah.

00:36:56All right, Fred, the 49ers at the Saints.

00:36:58The 49ers at the Saints.

00:37:00This is a trickier game than you think because it's hard to go to New Orleans in that stadium

00:37:06and think you're just going to toss those Saints around.

00:37:08But the 49ers, they're not having Brock Purdy.

00:37:11No.

00:37:12Mack Jones.

00:37:13Or Kittle.

00:37:14Mack Jones.

00:37:15Coach, do you believe in Mack Jones?

00:37:17I don't believe in Mack Jones.

00:37:19Neither do I.

00:37:22I don't believe in anybody other than the sure fire.

00:37:26I don't know what New Orleans is doing at quarterback either.

00:37:28Spencer Rattler.

00:37:29They got Spencer Rattler at quarterback, but at least he will be playing at home.

00:37:32He won't be playing on the road in a noisy stadium.

00:37:34All right?

00:37:35So I give them that, but the 49ers got the better defense.

00:37:37The 49ers got the better overall team.

00:37:39The 49ers are better coach.

00:37:41So something's telling me to go with the 49ers here.

00:37:44But you know what?

00:37:45Everybody lose their game.

00:37:46They're not supposed to lose.

00:37:47I'm going with the New Orleans.

00:37:48Thanks.

00:37:49Okay.

00:37:50Hey, Dan.

00:37:51Mack Jones.

00:37:52So I think this is, remember a 2021 draft.

00:37:56There was a lot of back and forth.

00:37:58Shanahan.

00:37:59Kyle Shanahan wanting, you know, maybe Mack Jones and then getting overruled.

00:38:03He now gets to prove that Mack Jones was the pick.

00:38:06He gets to prove that Mack Jones, he can coach Mack Jones and make Mack Jones a competent quarterback.

00:38:11I'm taking the Niners minus three.

00:38:12Coach?

00:38:13I'm going to take San Francisco.

00:38:15Not for exactly those reasons, but I still think New Orleans is still just putting the pieces together.

00:38:20Yeah.

00:38:21They had a chance last week.

00:38:23They just don't have the firepower, I think.

00:38:25They played hard.

00:38:26They just don't.

00:38:27Other than Alvin Kamara, I just don't feel, where is the firepower coming from?

00:38:31Chris Olove, they got some dude.

00:38:33Well, they threw a bubble screen to Olavi.

00:38:35He almost got killed last week.

00:38:36Yep.

00:38:37I mean, it was ugly.

00:38:38Went right to the blue ten.

00:38:39I can't take all these RPOs right now that I'm seeing from the Saints.

00:38:42I think with the injuries to Fawaga at right tackle, pinning their starting guard, he's hurt.

00:38:48I don't know how they're going to block Bosa and company.

00:38:50I think they're going to struggle protecting Rattler.

00:38:52I think the 49ers win ugly.

00:38:54Also, that game against the Cardinals.

00:38:56It cannot be the plan for the New Orleans Saints to have Spencer Rattler throw 46 times.

00:39:01Yeah.

00:39:02That's not a winning plan for Spencer Rattler.

00:39:04You know what?

00:39:05So, I don't know what the plan is going into this game, but if you tell me Spencer Rattler's

00:39:08going to throw 46 times again, I'm going to take the Niners.

00:39:11Coach almost persuaded me to change Rattler.

00:39:13Oh.

00:39:14Like, just him going through it.

00:39:15What about me?

00:39:16And then I almost forgot about Fred Warner.

00:39:18I made a good point.

00:39:19I forgot about, you know, I forgot about some dudes dudes.

00:39:21Fred Warner.

00:39:22I mean, is there a better linebacker in the league?

00:39:24Not in the league right now.

00:39:25Not middle linebacker.

00:39:26You can play with ten if you have Fred Warner.

00:39:27Fred Warner is a beat.

00:39:28So, coach got me decked, got me smidgen.

00:39:31He got me a beignet close to changing my pick.

00:39:34But I'm going to stick with that gumbo down there in New Orleans.

00:39:37I love a good beignet.

00:39:38Hey, ain't nothing like it.

00:39:40Give me the gluten.

00:39:41All the gluten.

00:39:42Okay, coach.

00:39:43The Jags at the Bengals.

00:39:44It's going to be an interesting game.

00:39:46You know, I love the Bengals.

00:39:47But after watching the film, they got their ass kicked up front.

00:39:51Oh, yeah.

00:39:52They always do.

00:39:53They lost their right guard.

00:39:54They have Rizner now playing right guard.

00:39:56Yeah.

00:39:57Rizner was making tick tocks with me in the airport a month ago.

00:39:59I mean, he started it right guard.

00:40:01I swear, man.

00:40:02That ain't no good.

00:40:03It's all Rizner.

00:40:04He's got a cute wife.

00:40:05They think he's cool.

00:40:06That ain't no good.

00:40:07I was making tick tocks with him.

00:40:08Yeah.

00:40:09He was like, hey, you think I can get into camp?

00:40:10I'm like, hell yeah.

00:40:11But he's going to start at right guard.

00:40:12The right tackle, Mims.

00:40:14Yeah.

00:40:15He's a monster.

00:40:16His ankle's sore.

00:40:17Yeah.

00:40:18And Miles Garrett, he went off last week.

00:40:19And I just think the Jaguars are pretty good.

00:40:21They got Eric Armstead.

00:40:22Yeah.

00:40:23They got Josh Allen.

00:40:24They got some guys now.

00:40:26Yeah.

00:40:27Brown had five runs last week of negative yards.

00:40:30They didn't make a first down in the second half.

00:40:32Yeah.

00:40:33Bad.

00:40:34I'm worried about that.

00:40:35Game in Cincinnati though, coach.

00:40:36Game in Cincinnati.

00:40:37I'm going to take Joe Burrow.

00:40:38I always go with the quarterback.

00:40:39Burrow's going to wake up.

00:40:40They're going to get the ball to Jason Higgins this week.

00:40:43Yeah.

00:40:44They're going to win, but it's not going to be easy.

00:40:45Jacksonville plays Cincinnati every time.

00:40:48Tough.

00:40:49Very tough.

00:40:50William Cohen, and I do like the fact ETN is back.

00:40:53Yeah.

00:40:54He can make plays out of the backfield.

00:40:55Yeah.

00:40:56Who knows what my rookie is going to do?

00:40:58My old Heisman Trophy.

00:40:59Oh, oh, oh.

00:41:00Travis Arnold.

00:41:01They said he's going to play more defense this week.

00:41:03Yeah.

00:41:04He's going to play more defense.

00:41:05He's going to be a challenge.

00:41:06He only had six snaps last week.

00:41:07I'm taking the Jags plus three and a half.

00:41:08I think the Bengals will probably win this game,

00:41:10but that offensive performance in the second half was so bad by the Bengals.

00:41:13They got Joe Burrow, Dan.

00:41:14They got Joe Burrow.

00:41:15They got Joe Burrow.

00:41:16They got Joe Burrow, man.

00:41:17It was crazy, and they had a great opening drive against the Browns,

00:41:20and after that it was just a lot of bad.

00:41:22So I think this is still going to be the offense for the Bengals

00:41:26has to work their self into shape.

00:41:28They've always started slow.

00:41:29I'm going to take the Jags plus three and a half.

00:41:30Coach, we was talking before the show started,

00:41:32and we was talking about the prince that was promised.

00:41:35Trevor Lawrence.

00:41:36We talked about it.

00:41:37Heart beat.

00:41:38Pump a little Kool-Aid.

00:41:39All right?

00:41:40And across that other field, on the other sideline,

00:41:42is Joe Shaisty, a.k.a. Joe Burrow.

00:41:44Ain't pumping no Kool-Aid through there.

00:41:46He got the best wide receiver pound for pound in football.

00:41:49He got the best robbing wide receiver in football.

00:41:52They don't need no defense.

00:41:54I think they're going to light it up.

00:41:56They always have these games, every other game,

00:41:58where they go and put up 40.

00:41:59I'm going with the Cincinnati Bengals at home.

00:42:01Another national championship rematch.

00:42:03Let me say this, though, about the Bengals.

00:42:05We talked about them last week.

00:42:06Every year they start 0-2.

00:42:08Yeah.

00:42:09Every year.

00:42:10Six years in a row.

00:42:11They're 1-11 in their first two games.

00:42:12Yeah.

00:42:13If they can win this game, they go 2-0.

00:42:14Yeah.

00:42:15I've got to watch out for this team, because on defense,

00:42:17we're not talking about the Bengal defense.

00:42:19Yeah.

00:42:20They won that game for them last week.

00:42:21Yeah.

00:42:22They got the turnover in the fourth quarter.

00:42:24Hendrickson's back.

00:42:25Had another sack.

00:42:26Shamar Stewart from Texas A&M.

00:42:28He looks real, man.

00:42:29Yeah, he does.

00:42:30Demetrius Knight, their rookie linebacker.

00:42:31Good God.

00:42:32Yeah.

00:42:33I love this team.

00:42:34Al Golden did a great job with this defense.

00:42:36The Bengals defensively can keep getting better.

00:42:38Yeah.

00:42:39I'm not really worried about Joe Burrow.

00:42:41I'm a little bit worried about the old line.

00:42:43They will get better, because they all youngsters.

00:42:45They spent all of their draft picks on defense.

00:42:47Yeah.

00:42:48Okay, Jerry.

00:42:49The Seahawks at your Steelers.

00:42:51How are you feeling?

00:42:52I feel good.

00:42:53I feel good.

00:42:54Defense, I'm worried about for sure.

00:42:55D-line was a problem.

00:42:57First round draft pick, Derek Harmon.

00:42:59Still not going to play this game.

00:43:01Joey Porter might play.

00:43:02We'll see.

00:43:03But listen, how do you not pick Aaron Rodgers?

00:43:07How do you pick him?

00:43:08I mean, he looked great.

00:43:10He really did.

00:43:11Usually it's the Steelers defense bailing you out of games.

00:43:13First time in a long time I got to see the Steelers offense win us a game.

00:43:17So, pumped about that.

00:43:19I think it's a tight game.

00:43:20I think it's a really tight game.

00:43:22I could see a three-point game, but I think the Steelers win at home.

00:43:25What did you think about Aaron Rodgers, Coach?

00:43:26I was happy about that, man.

00:43:28I really was.

00:43:29You know, say whatever you want about Rodgers.

00:43:31Yeah.

00:43:32You know?

00:43:33He kind of irritates some people with his things he does.

00:43:36Very kind of weird.

00:43:37He is one hell of a quarterback.

00:43:38Yeah.

00:43:39Did you see the last touchdown pass?

00:43:40He just threw it for mud?

00:43:41I mean, that guy's sick.

00:43:42I love it.

00:43:43I love the Steeler O-line.

00:43:45I thought they played damn good.

00:43:47Bunch of young guys blocking a formidable crew of the Jets.

00:43:51I like Warren a lot.

00:43:52He reminds me of Charlie Garner.

00:43:54Charlie Garner.

00:43:55Very underrated.

00:43:56Very underrated.

00:43:57Very underrated back.

00:43:58Metcalf against his old team.

00:44:00Yeah.

00:44:01I think Metcalf's going crazy.

00:44:02They have better players, I think, than Seattle's offense has.

00:44:06I don't know where Seattle goes other than in Jigba Smith.

00:44:09I mean, every pass was the same guy.

00:44:11It was bad.

00:44:12Chabonet.

00:44:13They run the ball with Chabonet.

00:44:14They run the ball with Kenny Walker, the third.

00:44:16I'm going to take the Steelers.

00:44:17It's a long trip for Seattle to fly to Pittsburgh.

00:44:20And in Pittsburgh's home opener, I expect Tomlin and company to get the defense straight

00:44:26and get a convincing win.

00:44:28I think they're going to win this game convincingly.

00:44:30Can we all degree that our guy Aaron Rodgers has made it to the dirty old man stage?

00:44:36Mm-hmm.

00:44:37You know how you get to a stage as a man where you just don't like nothing new?

00:44:40Coach, you at that stage right there.

00:44:42You don't like no D-line win, number one, and zero, and all.

00:44:45You don't like nothing new.

00:44:46He's at that fickle stage.

00:44:48All right?

00:44:49But it's something with him and Tomlin that's sitting quiet down a tad bit with Tomlin.

00:44:56Sam Donald, I believe in Sam.

00:44:59Just not this game.

00:45:00Not against T.J. Watt.

00:45:02I'm going Pittsburgh Steelers.

00:45:03They have the overall better team.

00:45:05But Seattle is a young and up-and-coming team.

00:45:08They're going to be a team that everybody needs to watch.

00:45:10I'm taking the Steelers with you guys.

00:45:12I think the Steelers' defense obviously looked bad against the Jets.

00:45:15I think that's more about the Jets' offensive line being very good.

00:45:18I don't think the Seahawks have the same offensive line,

00:45:20so I expect the Steelers' defense to have a little bounce back.

00:45:23Aaron Rodgers, obviously not the same mobility,

00:45:25but the way he can pass guys open and give guys a chance to, you know,

00:45:30run after the catch, it's still elite.

00:45:33I'm going to take the Steelers' minus three.

00:45:34All right, Dan, Patriots at Dolphins.

00:45:36So the Dolphins, I – did you guys pick – what did you pick last week?

00:45:40I actually picked the Patriots.

00:45:42No, no, no, but what did you pick the Dolphins' Colts?

00:45:45No, I picked the Colts.

00:45:46I want to make sure.

00:45:47What did they pick, Tom?

00:45:48I had the Colts.

00:45:49You did?

00:45:50Are you sure?

00:45:51I think so.

00:45:52Tom, can you check that?

00:45:53Yes.

00:45:54I'm lying.

00:45:55I didn't know I picked the Dolphins.

00:45:56We were all talking about the noise coming out of my –

00:45:57Okay, yeah, you picked the Dolphins.

00:45:58You picked the Dolphins.

00:45:59I picked the Colts.

00:46:00I picked the Colts, right.

00:46:01So the Dolphins are a mess.

00:46:02They're my bad vibes team of the year.

00:46:0433-8, brutal.

00:46:06The Patriots have never beaten Tua.

00:46:09Weird stat.

00:46:10Tua's 7-0 against the Patriots, but I think this game just comes down to the fact

00:46:14that Rex Ryan called Mike McDaniel a dork, and now it's in my head, and it's Mike Vrabel

00:46:19versus a dork, and I'll take Mike Vrabel.

00:46:21That's as simple as it could be.

00:46:23It's stuck.

00:46:24He's been waiting forever to call him a dork.

00:46:25He called him a dork.

00:46:26Now it's like, hey, I show you a dork.

00:46:27I show you Mike Vrabel.

00:46:28Give me Mike Vrabel.

00:46:29Grown men using the word dork is just an epic insult.

00:46:31Well, if it describes who this person is.

00:46:32Like, it's not nerd.

00:46:33It's not geek.

00:46:34It's a dork.

00:46:35It might have been nerd, but he called him McGenius.

00:46:36I don't know.

00:46:37I got dork in my head.

00:46:38Well, we all can agree that he done lost that locker room.

00:46:40The Miami Dolphins locker room.

00:46:41We always have one team every year that comes into the season sick is what I call them.

00:46:45Just a little sick.

00:46:46They got the flu.

00:46:47I mean, they can't get anything right.

00:46:48They can't get anything done because they are a team separated.

00:46:51They don't play together.

00:46:52They don't play together.

00:46:53They don't play together.

00:46:54They don't play together.

00:46:55They don't play together.

00:46:56They don't play together.

00:46:57They don't play together.

00:46:58They don't play together.

00:46:59Because they are a team separated.

00:47:00They don't play together.

00:47:01They ain't got each other back.

00:47:03I'm going with the New England Patriots again.

00:47:05I can't believe I'm doing this after they let me down last week.

00:47:09But I got, I believe in Drake May.

00:47:11I believe in Trayvon Henderson.

00:47:12I believe in the ball coach.

00:47:14I believe he going to eventually get them right because they going to be physical.

00:47:17I'm going to go with the New England Patriots because the Miami team is sick

00:47:21and they need aspirin.

00:47:23I hope this game goes in triple overtime.

00:47:26I do.

00:47:27I'm going to run it to last all night.

00:47:29All you negative people can bitch for five hours.

00:47:33You know, the Miami Dolphins, their effort was not good enough last week.

00:47:38That's the one thing that resonated with me watching the tape.

00:47:41Their defensive effort running to the ball was not good.

00:47:44Yeah.

00:47:45And that would be very, very personal to me.

00:47:48I'm hoping Miami at home has a lot more pride than they showed last week against the Colts.

00:47:53Yeah.

00:47:54I mean, forget about yelling at the coach and calling us dorks.

00:47:56The players.

00:47:57All right.

00:47:58The film don't lie.

00:47:59This is your resume too.

00:48:00Yeah.

00:48:01These players are playing for their lives now.

00:48:03So they got to get their act together.

00:48:05They're playing the Patriots who got handled last week.

00:48:08Very much so.

00:48:09I told you Campbell better watch out for Crosby.

00:48:12You were right.

00:48:13That was not pretty.

00:48:14That was not pretty.

00:48:15And Drake May's not lighting the world up either.

00:48:17I don't know who the receivers are.

00:48:18Is Diggs there?

00:48:19Yeah.

00:48:20Diggs is there.

00:48:21Well, where is he?

00:48:22Where's Tyree Hill?

00:48:23Where's Tyree Hill, coach?

00:48:24I don't know.

00:48:25Where's Tyree Hill?

00:48:26I don't know.

00:48:27Where is it?

00:48:28I'm taking Miami, man.

00:48:29What's wrong with you?

00:48:30I'm not going with Miami at home.

00:48:31What is wrong with you?

00:48:32I hate the Patriots.

00:48:33That was a fumble.

00:48:34That made love to give away money.

00:48:36I hope it goes into triple overtime with a 45 minute rain delay.

00:48:41The network will turn it off after the first one.

00:48:44I hope the freaking internet goes out too.

00:48:46And Fred, you know where it goes.

00:48:47He's with Cardi.

00:48:48Woo!

00:48:49He's with Cardi.

00:48:50He's there, you know, with Cardi.

00:48:51And guess what?

00:48:52Living his best life.

00:48:53But we know who relationship ain't going good.

00:48:54And there's Tua and Tyree Hill.

00:48:55No.

00:48:56It's something there.

00:48:57A year.

00:48:58It's been a year since Tyree's had a reception over 30 years.

00:49:00They don't even look like they speak in the huddle.

00:49:01They don't even look like they look each other eye to eye.

00:49:03How the hell went against you?

00:49:04You think these guys are best friends on all the other teams?

00:49:07No, no, no.

00:49:08But at least they can talk.

00:49:09This is too much drama.

00:49:10At least I can talk.

00:49:11This isn't Miami Vice.

00:49:12I like that.

00:49:13This is football, Fred.

00:49:14No, no.

00:49:15This is the Housewives of Miami Beach.

00:49:17That's what we want.

00:49:18It's Christmas.

00:49:19Tua versus Tyree.

00:49:20Eight chains going off.

00:49:21The Dolphins win.

00:49:22Texana?

00:49:23Yes, that's right.

00:49:24Okay, Fred.

00:49:25The Panthers at the Cardinals.

00:49:27Ooh.

00:49:28Panthers at the Cardinals.

00:49:29I think the Cardinals is their sneaky team this year that nobody wants to say,

00:49:32all right, they're very good.

00:49:33They're a good team.

00:49:34I don't know if I believe in the Panthers right now.

00:49:37No.

00:49:38Why would you?

00:49:39I just don't.

00:49:40But I thought they, when they reinforced that offensive line this offseason,

00:49:44I know.

00:49:45Anytime you do that, you give yourself a chance to legitly win football games.

00:49:49I just feel like the Arizona Cardinals as a whole, in totality, is a better team.

00:49:54I'm going Arizona.

00:49:57Dan?

00:49:58Yeah, Bryce Young was not good week one.

00:50:01You thought he was going to maybe build on his end of last year.

00:50:04I think the Cardinals, they're not great, but I was really disappointed in the Panthers' pass rush.

00:50:10I didn't think it was there.

00:50:11I think the Cardinals would be able to block them.

00:50:13Tom Murray's going to have all day.

00:50:14I'm going to take the Cardinals.

00:50:15Coach?

00:50:16Yeah.

00:50:17I drank the Kool-Aid with Carolina.

00:50:18I gave that speech last week.

00:50:20You did.

00:50:21They were improving.

00:50:22They were on the rise.

00:50:23That was a bad speech.

00:50:24I've seen the speech back.

00:50:25Let me down, man.

00:50:26That Jacksonville game is a hard one to get out of my mind.

00:50:28I really think for Coach Gannon and the Arizona Cardinals, this is a must win.

00:50:32Yeah.

00:50:33You've got a chance to go 2-0.

00:50:34You've got to take advantage of New Orleans and Carolina.

00:50:38Beat the teams he's supposed to beat.

00:50:39You start 2-0.

00:50:40Yeah.

00:50:41You start to get some confidence and some momentum, which Arizona needs.

00:50:44Yeah.

00:50:45And this NFC West is wide open.

00:50:47There's a lot of teams hovering around .500.

00:50:50I really believe Kyler Murray will decide this game again.

00:50:53The guy's making plays with his feet.

00:50:55He's got some receivers.

00:50:56Yeah.

00:50:57Jackson's coming into his own.

00:50:58They can run the football, and they've got arguably the best tight end in the league.

00:51:02I like Arizona.

00:51:03And don't forget, Will Johnson at the corner from Michigan.

00:51:05He's number zero.

00:51:06He looks awesome.

00:51:07I love the coach.

00:51:08Best believe it.

00:51:09I don't think Leggett, Lazare Leggett can beat him.

00:51:11He can eat all the squirrels he want to.

00:51:13I don't think Tech McMillan can beat him.

00:51:14I think he's the best defensive back on the field.

00:51:16That's with J.C. Horne on the field.

00:51:18It's going to be crazy.

00:51:19Okay, Dan.

00:51:20The Broncos at the Colts.

00:51:21Tough game.

00:51:22Colts looked awesome.

00:51:24Broncos looked bad.

00:51:25I'm going to take the Broncos.

00:51:28Bo Nix looked bad.

00:51:29I think he's got to fix this.

00:51:30You know, I think you get a better performance from him.

00:51:32Their defense is really good.

00:51:34But the Colts are sneaky.

00:51:35Sneaky.

00:51:36It's just a little bit of a tougher test for Daniel Jones.

00:51:38Do you believe in Daniel Jones?

00:51:40Come on now.

00:51:43Catfish.

00:51:44Tell me who you believe in.

00:51:45Not yet.

00:51:46Starting to.

00:51:47Starting to.

00:51:48I can't believe in a quarterback with a regular name like Daniel.

00:51:52Not long-term.

00:51:53There's got to be some oomph to that name.

00:51:55Airway.

00:51:56I agree with that.

00:51:57Montana.

00:51:58I agree with that.

00:51:59Daniel Jones.

00:52:00All of us got three homeboys named Daniel Jones.

00:52:01Okay, Coach.

00:52:05I'm taking Denver.

00:52:07I like Denver.

00:52:08I like them a lot.

00:52:09I said I was there a couple days ago.

00:52:11And I think this defense is for real.

00:52:13Greenlaw didn't even play last week.

00:52:14Yeah.

00:52:15He's a hell of a linebacker.

00:52:16They're going to get better and better.

00:52:17Six sacks.

00:52:18Six different Broncos.

00:52:19Yeah.

00:52:20They can blitz you.

00:52:21They can bluff the blitz.

00:52:22They can play a lot of different coverage.

00:52:23Man to man.

00:52:24Whatever.

00:52:25They got to shut down guys on defense now.

00:52:27Yeah.

00:52:28And Bo Nix is a good player.

00:52:29He is.

00:52:30He's a good player.

00:52:31And they can run the ball.

00:52:32Robbins did.

00:52:33Yeah.

00:52:34I told you about Harvey.

00:52:35He had 80 yards and seven carries.

00:52:36Yeah.

00:52:37They're going to win this game.

00:52:38And Denver's going to build, I think, offensively after a little confidence builder with a win

00:52:43in Indy.

00:52:44Coach did look good.

00:52:45They did look good last week.

00:52:46They were surprised.

00:52:47Looked good.

00:52:48Feel good team last week.

00:52:49I'm going with Denver though.

00:52:51I just think they there.

00:52:52They just a better roster.

00:52:53They just there.

00:52:54I'm going with them.

00:52:55All right.

00:52:56Last game of the week, Coach.

00:52:57Monday Night Football.

00:52:58The Chargers at the Raiders.

00:52:59Well, this is one of my picks, you know.

00:53:01I'm going to do this YouTube picking thing.

00:53:02You've seen it, right?

00:53:03Yeah.

00:53:04Yeah.

00:53:05Well, hell, I got it.

00:53:06I can't say here what I'm picking.

00:53:07I mean, I got to keep it secret.

00:53:08I'll take it.

00:53:09I'll say this, man.

00:53:10It's the AFC West.

00:53:11Chargers, Raiders.

00:53:12Yeah.

00:53:13I used to run out of the tunnel and see Junior Seau over there and Rodney Harrison.

00:53:17And I go back into my office and I throw up all over myself.

00:53:21The Chargers, I mean, they give me still nightmares today.

00:53:26Ray Lee Johnson, Perella.

00:53:28Yeah.

00:53:29I like what the Chargers are, man.

00:53:31They are formidable, man.

00:53:32They're physical.

00:53:33They can run the football.

00:53:34Yes.

00:53:35But it's Pete Carroll's birthday Monday.

00:53:37Oh.

00:53:38My bad.

00:53:39My bad.

00:53:40My bad, 74.

00:53:41What did I tell you about that Pete Carroll?

00:53:43What did I tell you about that Pete Carroll?

00:53:44I'll tell you something about coaching.

00:53:45Yeah.

00:53:46You got to get the attitude right in the locker room.

00:53:47Yeah.

00:53:48And whatever you say about Pete Carroll, he gets the building feeling good.

00:53:52There's a good vibe there right now.

00:53:54And I'm telling you, Geno Smith, you give Herbert, Mahomes all the ink, all that stuff, rightfully so.

00:53:59Yeah.

00:54:00But this guy, Geno Smith, is a lot better than people give him credit for.

00:54:03Yeah.

00:54:04I'm not going to make my prediction, Raider Nation.

00:54:06You'll see Monday night.

00:54:07I love that.

00:54:08I love that.

00:54:09Happy birthday, Coach Carroll.

00:54:10Keep it going.

00:54:11You got to take that back.

00:54:12You said that Arizona with Trey McBride probably got the best tight end.

00:54:16No, it's the, it's the.

00:54:18I don't call Bowers.

00:54:19The Vegas Raiders with Brock Bowers.

00:54:21Bowers ain't a tight end.

00:54:22He's Superman.

00:54:23He's a weapon.

00:54:24He's just a weapon.

00:54:25And they got Michael Myers.

00:54:26So he got doomed after Duke.

00:54:27Yeah.

00:54:28All right, Dan, who you taking?

00:54:29I love that it's Pete Carroll's birthday.

00:54:31And if there's one guy that wants to ruin Pete Carroll's birthday, it's Jim Harbaugh.

00:54:34So I'm taking the Chargers.

00:54:35You know he's going to have more juice than Pete Carroll on Pete Carroll's birthday.

00:54:40You know what?

00:54:41I call this the hater game of the year.

00:54:43You know why?

00:54:44Because Pete Carroll hates him and Harbaugh hates him.

00:54:46No matter where Harbaugh goes, Pete Carroll comes.

00:54:48All right, Harbaugh goes to Michigan.

00:54:50I'm going to USC.

00:54:51It doesn't matter.

00:54:52Where you go, I go.

00:54:53This is the ball.

00:54:54This is the game that I've been waiting on right here.

00:54:56I'm going to give the home team three points and that's what they're giving them.

00:55:00I'm going with the Raiders.

00:55:02Okay.

00:55:03We'll have to see what Coach thinks.

00:55:05The Raiders.

00:55:06Okay, time for hot takes.

00:55:07Dan, I'll start with you.

00:55:08What's your hot take for you two?

00:55:09All right, so this might be a little bit of cheating.

00:55:11I don't know.

00:55:12You can tell me.

00:55:13But I'm taking a shot here.

00:55:15There's three teams that are six-point underdogs or more that I have circled.

00:55:20The Titans, the Bears, the Jets.

00:55:22One of, maybe two of, those teams are going to win outright.

00:55:26Titans, Bears, Jets.

00:55:28There's going to be at least one upset there and maybe two.

00:55:31I think there's some live dogs week two.

00:55:33So, again, a little bit of cheating because it's three.

00:55:35But if I go over three, I'll be the first one to sit here next week and say,

00:55:38hey, I got it wrong.

00:55:39All right.

00:55:40That's accountability.

00:55:41Something you would never do.

00:55:42You're very true.

00:55:43Yeah.

00:55:44You got your version.

00:55:46I got the truth.

00:55:47I totally know what you're talking about.

00:55:49I got you.

00:55:50Fred, hot take?

00:55:51My hot take is this.

00:55:52No matter who wins the Thursday night game versus the Packers and the Commanders,

00:55:57it's going to be an overreaction the next week.

00:55:59All right?

00:56:00No matter who wins, no matter who loses.

00:56:02But I'm going to say this.

00:56:03Last year against the Cincinnati Bengals on national TV was the coming out party for

00:56:08One Jedi Five, a.k.a. Jane Daniels.

00:56:10So, guess what?

00:56:12Week two in Green Bay is the coming out party this year for One Jedi Five to let the world

00:56:18know.

00:56:19Is it coming out twice?

00:56:20No.

00:56:21Not only did I ball out.

00:56:22Because, you know, I've been hearing all this stuff this year.

00:56:24Ah, you're going to have the sophomore slump.

00:56:26Okay.

00:56:27The sophomore slump.

00:56:28No, there ain't going to be no sophomore slump.

00:56:29We peaking.

00:56:30We peaking right now.

00:56:31Now, that's all I'm saying.

00:56:32So, if this going out on the line, we'll be 2-0 after Thursday night.

00:56:36You know what's beautiful about this show is it doesn't come out until Friday night.

00:56:39Yes.

00:56:40So, we're going to be living in real time.

00:56:41Either really dumb or really smart.

00:56:42Yeah.

00:56:43Either way, you're going to look really good or really bad.

00:56:44Or really bad.

00:56:45And guess what?

00:56:46As a cornerback, I didn't look both ways in my career.

00:56:48So, it's all fine to me.

00:56:49All right, Coach.

00:56:50Your hot take.

00:56:51My hot take is the Baltimore Ravens.

00:56:52I'm going back.

00:56:53I saw the Ravens in the preseason.

00:56:55They got a lot of pride.

00:56:56They got a lot of great players.

00:56:58Yeah, they do.

00:56:59They should have won that game in Buffalo.

00:57:01They are going to welcome their 30-year birthday party with an astounding victory.

00:57:07Yeah.

00:57:08I mean, the Ravens are going to take off.

00:57:09You're going to see.

00:57:10This is the launching pad this Sunday.

00:57:12Baltimore.

00:57:13How much are they going to win by?

00:57:14A lot.

00:57:15How many?

00:57:16Yes.

00:57:1721 points.

00:57:18I say at least 20 points.

00:57:1920 points.

00:57:20Joe Flacco will be overwhelmed by their defense.

00:57:22I don't know if you know they got this rookie named Mike Green that can get after the passer.

00:57:25They got speed.

00:57:26They can rush.

00:57:27They got three starting cornerbacks.

00:57:2920 points.

00:57:30They got one of the best, if not the best, safety in football.

00:57:32The Browns are in trouble.

00:57:34Fluster Kamal.

00:57:35Those are the three things I can't wait to see this week, though.

00:57:38Yeah.

00:57:39I want to see Baltimore respond to a loss.

00:57:41And I want to see the freaking Dolphins get off the mat.

00:57:44Most importantly, this Thursday night game, it might be the best, most looked forward

00:57:49to game I've had in my life.

00:57:50Yeah.

00:57:51These two teams, they play their asses off my head.

00:57:53You coached in the Super Bowl.

00:57:54There's a lot of effort.

00:57:55Some of my favorite guys are playing Thursday night.

00:57:58This Thursday night game here is more exciting than you did in the Super Bowl.

00:58:01Wow.

00:58:02That Super Bowl was a long time ago.

00:58:03That is great.

00:58:04Recency bias.

00:58:05The Miami sardines going to let you down, Coach.

00:58:08I don't see it happening.

00:58:09I don't see it happening.

00:58:10Okay.

00:58:11So, survivor pool picks.

00:58:12Unfortunately, Fred Smoot already out.

00:58:14Week one, he picks a piece.

00:58:15But you can get back in.

00:58:16But you know-

00:58:17Hold on.

00:58:18I'm going to let you back in.

00:58:19A kid got my life.

00:58:20You got to pick two.

00:58:21Oh, okay.

00:58:22You got to pick two just to get back in.

00:58:23Two to get back in.

00:58:24I got you.

00:58:25Okay.

00:58:26I agree.

00:58:27I agree.

00:58:28Yep.

00:58:29I agree.

00:58:30Coach, you took the Cardinals last week.

00:58:31Dan, you took the Jags.

00:58:32Jerry, you took the Commanders.

00:58:33Fred, you took the Patriots.

00:58:34You got to go with two picks and you can't obviously take the Patriots now that you would.

00:58:37All right.

00:58:38So, you want to let him go first?

00:58:39Yeah.

00:58:40Let him go first.

00:58:41I'm going to pick the Steelers in Seattle.

00:58:43Okay.

00:58:44Okay.

00:58:45I'm going to pick the Beals in New York.

00:58:46Okay.

00:58:47So, both have to win for him to get back in.

00:58:49Yeah.

00:58:50Okay.

00:58:51And I picked two road games just to make it hard.

00:58:52Okay.

00:58:53Okay.

00:58:54I'm going to take...

00:58:55No, Pittsburgh's playing at home.

00:58:56Oh, yeah.

00:58:57One and one.

00:58:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:58:59I'm going to take the Cardinals.

00:59:00Cardinals.

00:59:01All right.

00:59:02Coach?

00:59:03I took my team there.

00:59:04No, you can't take them.

00:59:05You already took them.

00:59:06That's right.

00:59:07You already took them.

00:59:08Yeah.

00:59:09You know what I'm going to do?

00:59:10I'm going to take the Miami Dolphins.

00:59:11Oh, wow.

00:59:12Come on, Coach.

00:59:13I'm going all in.

00:59:14You're all in.

00:59:15You call me a dork?

00:59:16You call my players loafers?

00:59:17These players are listening to you.

00:59:19They're listening to you.

00:59:20They're like, I'll show you.

00:59:22Let's go, Miami.

00:59:23Okay.

00:59:24And Jerry?

00:59:25We pick it twice next week, just like I did.

00:59:27You know?

00:59:28I don't know.

00:59:29There was a couple of years ago, Jerry took the Giants and everybody made fun of it.

00:59:34Yeah, they did.

00:59:35They did.

00:59:36I'm going to go with the Rams.

00:59:37The Rams.

00:59:38Okay.

00:59:39All right, boys.

00:59:40Anything else?

00:59:41No.

00:59:42Great show.

00:59:43Great show.

00:59:44All right.

00:59:46Did you guys understand Jerry's play?

00:59:47No, because he never got the ball back to the quarterback.

00:59:50The players don't understand a play.

00:59:52The coaches don't understand a play.

00:59:53How can you put the play in?

00:59:54But Jerry understands a play.
