00:00Reverse AFC Power Rankings, 16.
00:06Miami.
00:07I mean, could it?
00:09I guess I could make an argument for the Jets, I suppose.
00:14But not on St. Patrick's Day.
00:17Be nice.
00:18Green.
00:19Oh, okay.
00:19Green.
00:20Yeah, sorry.
00:21I got to change my mindset.
00:23You got to lock in on this.
00:24I'm just not thinking about it at all.
00:27Wait, that's today?
00:31Mr. Short-Term.
00:31I have this feeling I'm going to go through my Twitter feed and realize that I ignored
00:35a bunch of stuff that had to do with St. Patrick's Day like a moron that just didn't even, I've
00:40never felt more oblivious.
00:41I don't know if I have that.
00:43It was the ADP chasing guys last night talking to each other about what we're all going to
00:47wear, which was different.
00:50But there were discussions about who's wearing what.
00:54Green.
00:55Full-grown adult men talking about what green to wear?
00:58Yes.
00:58Okay, wow.
00:59Sorry, I missed it.
01:00Guys in their 30s.
01:01Real men.
01:04I'm wearing that hat.
01:05You can see me wear that hat tonight.
01:0715.
01:08This hat.
01:09I will go Jets here.
01:12I don't think they're really much off of Miami.
01:15I mean, Geno Smith has done more and proven more than Malik Willis.
01:20The Jets are also going into year two of a new regime, but I think they're pretty much at
01:26nowhere.
01:27Okay.
01:28You know what it is about this?
01:30If I asked you, would you take the Bills going 3-0-1 against those two teams next year,
01:37you're going to say no.
01:39That's right.
01:39You're going to want four wins.
01:40Yes, I am.
01:41New England, same answer.
01:43Yes.
01:44They should want to go 4-0.
01:46Yes, they should.
01:46I'm not taking anything short of 4-0.
01:48They should want to sweep those two teams.
01:50Yes.
01:50I mean, it's not necessarily likely.
01:53The Bills lost to Miami.
01:54Yeah, last year.
01:56Kind of decisively last year.
01:58All right.
01:59AFC East.
02:00The new AFC South, some are calling it.
02:03Right.
02:0414.
02:09Tennessee.
02:12I like the uniforms.
02:13You don't.
02:14I love the uniforms, but they're deeply offensive.
02:20That they are copying the entire color scheme of the...
02:24I love that there's guitar string details and the stripes.
02:27Like, they went hard.
02:28I love the colors.
02:29I just think it's wrong that they're wearing them.
02:33But that has nothing to do with this.
02:36It could.
02:37Tennessee.
02:38Yeah, you know what?
02:39Yes.
02:39I'm not even going to bother with Cleveland.
02:43Cleveland's at least wearing what Cleveland has always worn.
02:47How's that going?
02:48Just kind of drab.
02:49But, you know, whatever.
02:50They didn't steal it from anyone.
02:51They had their team lifted off of them.
02:53Baltimore at least doesn't have to wear Cleveland's gear.
02:56The Browns have to stay Brown.
02:58Right.
02:59You have no choice.
03:00Like, did I tell you yesterday about the guy on Sunday who asked me about my favorite
03:06fantasy team names I've ever had?
03:07I think I did.
03:08Yeah, you just came up.
03:09And I said how I never use, like, a player name pun.
03:12Right, because then you feel beholden to that player and can't...
03:14You can't move them.
03:14...divest yourself of them.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Right?
03:17Right.
03:17So, once your name is Browns...
03:20Yeah.
03:21See, that's the genius of, well, A, only having one fantasy team.
03:24B, having it be a player that does not play in our fantasy league.
03:29Tunsell's gas mask can just run on forever.
03:32I suppose maybe once he's done playing, maybe I should...
03:35But, whatever.
03:36We'll keep it alive.
03:36I'm there.
03:36I'm fine.
03:37And it's not someone I ever have to think about dressing or not dressing or trading,
03:41because he doesn't play.
03:42Fantasy football.
03:44Right.
03:44At least in our league.
03:46Maybe we'll see that change.
03:47Maybe he'll start to become a target in Washington.
03:49I mean, he catches a couple of passes.
03:51We'll have to have a talk.
03:52Right.
03:53Imagine starting a team so bad that you're starting an offensive lineman.
03:58Just because.
04:0013.
04:01I was starting, like, I don't even know, like, third string tight ends in a second quarterback
04:05spot at one point last year because of Paul's stupid rules.
04:09All right.
04:10Shots fired.
04:11A more fair thing to say would be my inability to navigate successfully the parameters that
04:16were known beforehand.
04:17There are limits on how many moves you can make.
04:19It's my fault.
04:20It's pretty tight.
04:20I botched it.
04:21Okay.
04:2213.
04:22Browns?
04:23Yeah.
04:24Yeah, I'll go Browns here.
04:26Watson?
04:26They're going to do that.
04:29I think so.
04:29They are going to do that.
04:33I mean, they might not if they want to try Sanders, you know, as a full-timer, like week
04:42one.
04:42That could also happen.
04:44I don't think anything else is coming.
04:47They're going to try Watson.
04:50Watson, what are the chances that that goes well?
04:55There has to be some chance, but it's been, you know, is it six years now since he was
05:01any good?
05:03I think that's, I think that's right.
05:0519 is the playoff game with the Bills.
05:07Right.
05:0720 is, he has a big stat year, but they lose all the time and then he's gone.
05:12Yeah.
05:15I am the type and I've done this with this player to have a tough time ruling out the
05:23possibility of success.
05:25You know, like you never know in sports and this guy has been high level.
05:29He's also had, he's had a bad shoulder that might have more to do with his failures than
05:34anything else, like in the last couple of years.
05:36But for the investment, I kind of think that they should see, like if you can get old Deshaun
05:44Watson back, I mean, you've gone this far.
05:47Right.
05:47Quarterbacks who had accomplished far less, far less athletically gifted, I guess, have
05:58found the fountain of youth in like a third or fourth stop.
06:01Like guys all, you know, Darnold is, is a, is an example.
06:04Gino Smith is an example.
06:06Maybe Deshaun Watson can rediscover it.
06:09I don't, I, I, boy, I'm not rooting for it.
06:12I can't stand him.
06:14Um, but I mean, good, good luck.
06:17Thoughts and prayers, Browns.
06:1812.
06:20Pittsburgh.
06:24That's fun.
06:25Okay.
06:30They have no quarterback right now.
06:32Right.
06:32Yeah.
06:32They're just waiting on Rogers to eventually say yay or nay again, again, or they're down
06:38Ty Simpsons road, probably, which, or maybe both or they probably should be both.
06:43No, man.
06:47What are they picking?
06:4721.
06:48I have 21 in my head for them for some reason.
06:50I'm not sure why, but, uh, this is Kenny pick it all over again.
06:56It just like we're somebody that no, not real sure he belongs in the first round, but okay.
07:02We like, okay, let's do it.
07:04We need a guy.
07:06Very bad practice.
07:08Very EJ manual league is, uh, is what that'll probably feel like.
07:12I mean, I doubt you hire Mike McCarthy with a rebuilding plan.
07:17You hire Jeff Halfley with the rebuilding plan, right?
07:20But McCarthy, I mean, it's probably just more of the same with a different coach.
07:24They lost 30 to six in the playoffs to the Texans at home.
07:29Just, they had the same year again, 13 first downs in that game for the Steelers.
07:34Six points.
07:37All right.
07:3811.
07:38I mean, Vegas.
07:39And then the next week, Houston could not hold on to the football.
07:42They couldn't against Pittsburgh either.
07:44That was equally bad that game.
07:46That is right.
07:46That is right.
07:47Now that you remind me.
07:48Yes.
07:49All right.
07:49Sorry.
07:49Where were we?
07:5011.
07:50Vegas.
07:51Probably should be Vegas.
07:5310.
07:55Colts.
07:58Yeah.
07:59Yeah.
08:02Nine.
08:05Cincinnati.
08:07Bengals.
08:07Yeah.
08:09Vibes aren't great.
08:10Again.
08:10No.
08:13Eight.
08:17Okay.
08:17Now it's interesting.
08:19Yeah.
08:19Finally.
08:20Right.
08:20Out there.
08:23Enough with the hats and the shirts and the Raiders and the Steelers and the Jets.
08:29Come on.
08:30Let's go.
08:30I think of the teams left right now, Houston is the one that I feel the least good about.
08:42Kind of want to go Kansas City first.
08:45I will not do that.
08:46I'm not doing that.
08:47No, me either.
08:48Um, I don't think it has to be Houston, but I'm okay there.
08:57Seven.
09:02Uh, I kind of want to do something that shouldn't be, shouldn't happen.
09:09Ravens.
09:12They're at the top of the win totals again with the bill.
09:1710 and a half.
09:18Like they're on the same tier of teams with the highest win totals again.
09:28Oh, well, out vote me.
09:30I don't know.
09:31I'm still, I'm still with Kansas City.
09:32They got rid of Trent McDuffie, which long-term probably good, but it's an all pro corner 25,
09:3726 out the window.
09:39Travis Kelsey comes back.
09:42That's probably not a good thing.
09:44They probably should try to get younger there.
09:46They bring in Justin Fields.
09:47Mahomes is coming off the ACL tear.
09:49He's may play early, but won't be the same guy, at least for another season.
09:54Who else do they have?
09:55That's good.
09:56Chris Jones is aging.
09:57I think I like Baltimore's roster a little bit better.
09:59I want to trust them more than Baltimore.
10:01Something's always just hinky in Baltimore.
10:04I know they still have to get something done with Jackson, right?
10:07That's the early state brumer.
10:09We're thought to want to get in, you know, that'll probably get done and then it'll be
10:13fine.
10:14But I don't know.
10:15It's still kind of curious that everything just seems like a struggle with them.
10:22I'm good.
10:22I'm good.
10:23I'm good with Baltimore here.
10:26Six.
10:27Six.
10:29I'm going to say Bills.
10:31Oh, wow.
10:35I'm not super sold on any of what's happening here right now.
10:42I think you probably will eventually, and you might even be absolutely 100% correct to
10:49settle for they've got Josh Allen and therefore somebody will play the other positions and it'll
10:56get by.
10:57Just like every other year.
10:58Right.
11:00I just think there's a lot of change here.
11:03I'm not assuming these defensive parts are all going to fit and I'm not, I'm not mad
11:11that they signed Bradley Chubb, but I'm also not like, Ooh, they got Bradley Chubb.
11:15I think they got a guy that's pretty much the equivalent of guys they've had every year
11:20that are sort of mid, you know, like, okay, you're going to help me.
11:25I think more than you're going to hurt me, hopefully, but are you going to really move
11:29the meter for me?
11:30I don't know.
11:32If they open at New England, what's the line?
11:38Boy.
11:42I don't know if they're favored there.
11:44Really?
11:44Yeah.
11:45I really don't.
11:46I think the Bills are favored there.
11:48Yeah.
11:48That Super Bowl, that was a bad performance.
11:51That's right.
11:51And they were not good throughout the entire playoffs.
11:53I just think there's a lot to get right here.
11:55New coordinator, a lot of new parts.
11:57I don't have, I still don't have, I've made my, I made my receiver trade.
12:02I made my edge rusher signing.
12:04I don't have, I don't think a real difference maker more is an upgrade just as Chubb is an
12:11upgrade, but are they like undeniable meter movers?
12:17No, I don't, I don't think they are.
12:19And I just think the, the state of flux with the roster and a new philosophy on defense
12:25and a new head coach's voice in charge of a room that's used to a different guy that
12:31had command of that room.
12:33I'm just, I'm a little worried.
12:35It's going to be a little rough to start.
12:36I'm going to go chiefs here having to choose between the two.
12:39Okay.
12:41Five.
12:44I would say.
12:49New England, I think.
12:54I'll go New England.
12:57Four.
12:59Homers.
13:00I work with homers.
13:02Four is between Bills, Broncos, Chargers, and Jaguars.
13:05Those are the top four or bottom four, as it were.
13:09Your Bills.
13:15I'll say Denver.
13:19I'll go Bills here.
13:22Three.
13:28I'll say Chargers.
13:38I'll go Denver.
13:42Two.
13:44I'm on the Chargers.
13:46Chargers.
13:47Okay.
13:48Okay.
13:49Jacksonville won.
13:51Wow.
13:53Is the whole summer going to be like that?
13:54That Jacksonville is actually the best team in the AFC?
13:58Maybe, yeah.
13:59We're not going to sort of like splash some water in our faces and go like,
14:02wait a minute.
14:02What are we saying now?
14:03What is this?
14:05Voodoo?
14:08I can buy the Chargers.
14:09I think I would have put them one, but it's not like they've proven it yet.
14:17But I like that more.
14:19All right.
14:20There it is.
14:21Reverse AFC Power Rankings.
14:22Welcome back, Reverse AFC Power Rankings.
14:23What was the order of the top five?
14:26When did you say we last did this?
14:27February 10th.
14:28Okay.
14:28You want the bottom?
14:29Yeah.
14:30Yeah.
14:30The bottom five.
14:31Yes, I guess is what I meant.
14:32Bills won.
14:34Wow.
14:35Jacksonville, two.
14:36Denver, three.
14:37New England, four.
14:38Baltimore, five.
14:39Chargers, seven.
14:41That was the Tuesday after the Super Bowl.
14:44Yes.
14:45Okay.
14:49I stand by it.
14:50I'm good there.
14:51I stand by everything.
14:54I said nothing I don't believe.
14:58I just can't imagine we're going to sit around all summer and be like,
15:02yeah, Jacksonville, look out.
15:03I mean, I just –
15:05Well.
15:05I get it as a good team, but I kind of think we're just going to sort of
15:12get farther away from last year and get closer to Kansas City, Baltimore,
15:18maybe L.A., I guess, Buffalo.
15:25I think that's probably right.
15:27I'm hearing you on L.A., and I do like the – I mean, I like the points you make
15:33about what you like about them.
15:35They're just going to have to – I mean, go bet it.
15:39You're just going to have to show me first that you can actually get out of your
15:42own way because that playoff game was just so meek from Herbert,
15:48especially – it just was bad.
15:49I mean, I know the tackles.
15:51I know.
15:51They'll get guys back, and maybe they'll be worlds different,
15:55but they're just going to have to show me they know the move.
15:58Movement in the NFL today with Jalen Waddell being traded to Denver.
16:04Hollywood Brown signing with Philadelphia.
16:06Does that necessarily precipitate a A.J. Brown trade?
16:10Where are the bills are going to end up at receiver after a couple of big moves
16:15around the league today?
16:16Mike Schopen, the Bulldog here for your calls at 803-055.
