00:00Do you feel like now that we've gotten here, obviously they had the slow start,
00:05but do you feel like this team currently constructed is the best team
00:11that D'Amico has had in his time here?
00:16And I will just throw out some stats.
00:19This was coming into the week last week.
00:22Coming into the week, they were 18th in total offense, 21st in points this year.
00:28That's compared to 22nd, 19th in points, 12th, and 13th in points.
00:35In 23, obviously, the rookie year of CJ, offensively they were much better.
00:40But their defense, obviously, this year is 1-1 in total defense and scoring.
00:45Last year they were 6th in total defense and 14th in points.
00:49When you look at the whole team, does this feel like the best team they've had under D'Amico?
00:53Well, that's a tough question because last year –
00:56Now, I mean, they were injured last year, so that tarnishes the point.
01:02But, I mean, you know, last year, man, that off-game, you had Joe Mixon, you had Laramie Tunsell,
01:07you had Diggs, you had Tank, you had –
01:11I mean, I think all of the guys offensively –
01:14But your defense wasn't like this.
01:16Yeah, but they didn't offset by that much.
01:19I mean, you don't have any of those guys this year.
01:21Right?
01:21Except Nico, yeah.
01:22Well, I didn't mention Nico, but the –
01:25Yeah, I mean, you don't have any of those guys.
01:26So, you take all those guys away from the offense, and who have you added on defense?
01:30I mean, all these guys were here last year.
01:32EJ Seed?
01:33They're a year better.
01:34Yeah, yeah.
01:35Will's better.
01:35Kamari's better.
01:36So, is the year better of the superstars on this defense
01:40better than the superstars that you lost on offense?
01:42I don't – ooh, man.
01:44Black Greg, last year's team was the most talented on paper,
01:47but injuries and offensive line derailed it.
01:50Yeah, that offensive line was so poor last year.
01:53Like, despite what the hell happened in that second half,
01:57on Sunday, this offensive line is just night and day from last year.
02:01Yeah.
02:01Even though you could argue they're less talented.
02:04It's night and day.
02:05So, I –
02:06Yeah, that's a tough one.
02:08Is it because the defense is so good?
02:10Yeah.
02:11Because this is the worst offense they've had, in my opinion,
02:14watching this, even last year.
02:16Oh, I agree.
02:17Yeah, of all three years that Mico's been here, yeah, I agree.
02:19Yeah, this is the worst offense they've had,
02:21but that defense – like, I think they have the best unit in football.
02:27Well, you've got –
02:28I think their defense is the best.
02:28I think they were good.
02:30I mean, they were obviously really good last year on defense,
02:32but I don't think that anybody would stand around
02:34and beat their chest about their Super Bowl caliber.
02:36They were really good.
02:38Yeah.
02:38But I don't think –
02:38The field's different, too.
02:40This year, I feel like this defense can carry you to multiple playoff wins.
02:44Especially with the team.
02:45Last year, I felt like if the stars aligned, they could.
02:48I feel like this is damn near going to do it.
02:51You know what I mean?
02:51Like, this defense is not just good.
02:53They're imposing their will on folks.
02:55I mean, they're taking the heart out of folks' chest.
02:58So, yeah, I would say that this is the most talented team
03:01just because of how dominant the defense is.
03:02And I'll be honest with you, I think this offense has got a chance.
03:05I mean, it's not – they're not struggling because of lack of talent.
03:09Yeah.
03:10I mean, I don't think they – I don't think the struggle –
03:12I mean, they're better – they're as good at running back
03:15when you leave him in the game.
03:18I don't know that he can last.
03:19Yeah.
03:20I mean, Woody has performed and made big plays.
03:23I don't know.
03:24Joe made some big plays.
03:25Yeah, Joe was a pro bowler.
03:27Yeah, yeah.
03:27I'm just thinking from a production standpoint.
03:29But, yeah, I mean, Joe's obviously better.
03:31But, I mean, from a production standpoint,
03:33what you're getting out of Woody versus what you got out of Joe.
03:36Yeah, Joe was doing a lot on his own, too.
03:38Yeah.
03:39So, yeah, there's – yeah, I would say this year's the better team, yeah.
03:43Yeah.
03:44Yeah, I definitely think this – like someone said,
03:46this team can go further in the playoffs.
03:48I definitely believe that.
03:49I think that also has to do with, you know, the field, right?
03:54Like, the Ravens and the Chiefs probably – right now,
03:57the odds are they don't even make the playoffs.
03:58Right.
03:59And, you know, obviously those were different teams the last couple of years.
04:04Buffalo, even though you've solved them, they were different teams.
04:07But you're right.
04:08Like, if you've got a run – like, right now their run would be New England
04:14to probably Denver to, you know, whoever on the other side would be,
04:21you know, Jacksonville, Buffalo, whatever.
04:22Yeah, you could – like, this field, you could see them winning multiple games
04:29being cared by this defense with those guys.
04:33With that grouping of teams, Denver and New England being the first two,
04:39you could see them getting –
