00:00George back to you for Sam Darnold a little bit higher as it probably should be he averaged more
00:05over the course of the season because I think that basically what happened with Darnold is he
00:10was up or down George right like it basically wasn't in in the middle he had these big games
00:14or he had these games or we thought that he was turning back to a pumpkin again yeah his is at
00:19230 and a half right now that's also gone up from what it was earlier in the week once again not a
00:24surprise but what would worry me about Darnold is I expect Mike Vrabel uh because this is what I
00:28would do is what Bill Belichick always did to try and take away the other team's best option which
00:32is JSN right and we take away JSN are we really afraid of Cooper Cup are we afraid of Shahid I
00:40think they'll take their shots to Shahid which is what you should do get those safeties to back off
00:43here but we're not really afraid when they don't have that really good number two a lot of teams
00:48don't I get that but I think it's going to put some pressure on Darnold uh now I like to think they
00:52would run the ball with Kenneth Walker I do but if you look at the Seahawks numbers throughout the
00:55season when they play a top 10 run defense they don't run into brick walls they sort of give up
01:00here we're gonna throw the ball you know that's what the McDonald has done all season long with
01:03Kubiak and I expect him to do that again today so I uh I think there's a better chance for Donald
01:08to get over but I keep saying it I can't trust him I just can't I can't trust him enough to take that
01:13but yeah Joe it's interesting because George does bring up a good point with Belichick taking a
01:18player away uh but that was several years ago it does seem like the NFL is evolving to the point
01:24where the talent is overcoming the scheme or else Puka Nakua wouldn't catch 15 balls for 120 yards
01:29every game and and JSN seems to do the same thing no matter what or no matter who's taking him away
01:34uh do you project a big game for Darnold in this uh matchup well look there's not a lot of great
01:41cover corners in that division that he had to play either let's just put that out there uh but I
01:46actually you know I know it pains George to agree with me so I'm gonna make it easy I agree with
01:50George everything you said there it's not necessarily that they're going to stop JSN but
01:54they can slow him down Christian Gonzalez Marcus Jones the secondary is really good they're really
01:58smart they play good football and I think limiting him is the key to this game not stopping him you're
02:03not gonna stop JSN he's too talented of a player but when you have to make Sam Darnold make the reads
02:08make all the throws and find the secondary guys especially with pressure he's gonna struggle I know
02:13we're gonna get that later on but I think when you're looking at this one here Sam Darnold also not
02:18necessarily having that run game people forget you know before Milton Williams got hurt and missed a
02:22month of time Patriots were the number one team against the run they only gave up one guy to get
02:2650 yards against them on the ground in any single game so when Milton Williams is back and healthy
02:32this run defense is really good so I'm on the under here on this one as well as Darnold this might not
02:35be as fun and explosive as Super Bowl as we saw here in terms of all Eagles put up Matt you want to
02:41make it unanimous here how do you feel about Darnold today yeah baseline passing suggests this goes over
02:46but this is a different game is Seattle gets out front early I think that eats into the number it's
02:51the Super Bowl so the public's going to take the over but I think the smart wager I'm with you guys I
02:56think we go under all right so uh across the board here on 228 and a half all right uh real quick uh Sam
03:02let's throw up these two because we're only going to have a minute or so to do them we've got Drake
03:07May 30.5 pass attempts Sam Darnold 29.5 pass attempts George of these two do you like either one
03:16both or none I would go out listen I do like the Darnold one I do have a small play on that
03:22said it before I don't think Seattle's gonna want to run into a brick wall with the New England
03:26rush defense so they're gonna have to throw the ball I just I don't think the yardage might be there
03:30I think there'll be a lot of small short dump offs which I think both quarterbacks might do to get
03:34into a groove to start the game here so I do like the over for Donald May he's gonna run some probably
03:39not as much
