00:00Let's go.
00:02Reverse AFC Power Rankings, powered by Empire Electric,
00:05your local residential electrician.
00:07Visit EmpireElectricians.com.
00:12All right.
00:13I wasn't sure, so I didn't write it.
00:16Now I'm going to start to write it.
00:17August 4th.
00:21Will it be identical to last week?
00:23I think it might be mostly,
00:25because there hasn't been really a lot of news.
00:27No.
00:30Family Jewels news yesterday.
00:32Yeah, that doesn't really move the meter.
00:34Didn't do anything.
00:35No.
00:37Ray Davis today.
00:38Got right back out there.
00:39Right.
00:41We had brawling.
00:42Not brawling, but like, you know, whatever.
00:44The fight.
00:45Pushing, shoving.
00:46Kincaid, our delicate flower.
00:48Posturing, you know.
00:50Get off our guy!
00:52A lot of that.
00:53A special effort to protect Kincaid, perhaps?
00:56No, I think they would have done that if it was Kaliki Latu.
01:00Really?
01:00Yeah, there's some football players.
01:03They're just dying for a reason.
01:05All right.
01:06They got the pads on.
01:06The pads are, you know what the pads are doing?
01:08Popping.
01:09Pads are popping.
01:10Yes.
01:1116.
01:13Miami.
01:14Again, I want to think about it,
01:16just to see if there's any justification to not put Miami there.
01:27Yeah, I'm done.
01:28Miami.
01:28Okay.
01:30I appreciate you doing the work.
01:31They don't have to be the worst team in the conference.
01:34Pensively looking up at the clock for 20 seconds was considered work.
01:37That was what you did there.
01:38I just sort of stared into space.
01:41Into the reflection of the tree behind me.
01:43The tree.
01:44And I'm wondering what these guys are doing in the hallway,
01:46because I don't think anybody realizes that they can be heard.
01:49The whole premise of the studio is that you can't hear out there,
01:53and they can't hear any.
01:54But it's not true.
01:55We can.
01:56I can hear that office.
01:57I can hear that.
01:58And when Brayton is anywhere, I can hear Brayton.
02:00Yeah.
02:00Anywhere.
02:01I've noticed that over the years.
02:03Fifteen.
02:09I got to say Jets today.
02:13That might be a change.
02:17I don't know, man.
02:20I'm not feeling it from Geno Smith.
02:24I know it's just practice, but I don't know.
02:27I don't think that's going to work.
02:29I'll give you three reasons to put the Jets here.
02:33Frank Reich, Adam Gase, Greg Roman.
02:38What are you thinking?
02:39I know we're going to have Leberfeld on again,
02:41and he's going to talk up what a great idea Frank Reich is.
02:44I'll believe it when I see it.
02:45Ian Harditz was on today talking about how Stanford did under him.
02:50Sacrilegious, right?
02:51Because we love Frank Reich.
02:52Yeah, yeah.
02:52But he went to Stanford to be an interim coach,
02:55and they were one of the worst offenses in all of college football.
02:57Wouldn't you think maybe NFL player, quarterback, multi-time NFL coach
03:03might be able to get to the middle?
03:05Did not happen.
03:07All right, fine.
03:08Yeah, I'm just not – I don't know.
03:09One of the tight ends is dinged up here.
03:12That's right.
03:12Sadiq, right?
03:13There is AFC injury news.
03:16Yeah, they're talking about maybe we'll see if he makes it to week one.
03:20Right.
03:20Kenyon Sadiq.
03:21Yeah.
03:22Great athlete profile out of Oregon.
03:25I don't like drafting him, though.
03:27I'd rather draft Eli Raritan at a much cheaper price.
03:31If you know, you know from yesterday's show.
03:3514.
03:39Cleveland feels appropriate.
03:40I'll say Tennessee.
03:41I'll go Cleveland.
03:43Every highlight I see from Shadur Sanders is painful.
03:47Could be Gabriel.
03:48Gabriel, 13, Tennessee.
03:52Sure, yeah.
03:5412.
03:59Steelers.
04:00Yeah, I was going to say Pittsburgh.
04:0411.
04:08The Raiders.
04:09This is where we're really sort of in the rut.
04:12Yep.
04:13Raiders at 11, which is much better than their record.
04:18would suggest they should be.
04:20Yeah, they were tied for last in the conference at 3-14 last year.
04:25New quarterback, rookie.
04:27Eventually he'll play.
04:28New veteran quarterback, too.
04:29Yeah.
04:30That, too.
04:31Gentie Bowers.
04:34And Max Crosby went back there, if you want that, after going to Baltimore.
04:40And he was returned.
04:41Right.
04:45The box is all sort of dented up.
04:48The tape's not holding the box together anymore.
04:52That's Max Crosby.
04:52You can send him back, but I am not paying for the shipping.
04:5710.
05:00Indianapolis?
05:00Every time.
05:01I don't know what else to do.
05:03Yep.
05:03I even drew a line on the sheet.
05:06And yesterday I looked at it, walking back in the room at one point, like, why did I draw a
05:10line there?
05:10It doesn't really make sense.
05:11You draw a line above 7, maybe.
05:13That's the playoff line.
05:15Yeah.
05:16But because 10 is always Indianapolis.
05:18I don't even think there's an argument for Indianapolis at 11.
05:24Probably not.
05:24Who liked him recently on our show?
05:26Aaron?
05:30Warren Sharp, I think, did a piece or a thread about scripted play calls.
05:41And their guy is top notch.
05:45Steichen.
05:45Steichen.
05:46Okay.
05:47At that.
05:48But they haven't really been able to figure out the rest.
05:51I have an idea for him.
05:52He's extreme.
05:53Do that for the whole game.
05:54Right.
05:54Script all the play calls.
05:55Why not?
05:56Just write it.
05:57Don't overthink it.
05:58Can't you, couldn't you, like, put into a database, like, okay, tie score.
06:08Up 3.
06:09Down 3.
06:10Up 7.
06:11Down 7.
06:11Up 10.
06:12Down 10.
06:13And just have scripts like that and just pour them out.
06:16You're going to hate this, but I think I'm right.
06:19We're probably at a point where every team should do that.
06:23AI.
06:23Yeah.
06:23Play calling.
06:24Right.
06:25We're probably at that point.
06:26It would be better than the people.
06:29Sadly.
06:30Probably.
06:30Yeah.
06:30It probably would be better than the coaches.
06:32Yeah.
06:33Takes me back to Ben Lindbergh's book with Sam Miller.
06:36The only rule is it has to work, where they, two baseball smarties got their hands on a minor
06:43league team and were able to do whatever they wanted, and they called pitches from a
06:46computer.
06:49Because, try to guess, batter.
06:52Try to predict what I'm going to throw here.
06:54You can't.
06:54Try to find my pattern.
06:55Like playing rock, paper, scissors against a computer.
06:59There's no element of, right, patterns.
07:02Right.
07:03Remind me to get back to this later.
07:05I've got a story.
07:06Okay.
07:07It's funny to me.
07:09Let's rip through it.
07:10All right.
07:11Indianapolis.
07:11Nine.
07:14This is the spot.
07:17Houston.
07:22Cincinnati.
07:24Well, I've got to say Houston.
07:26Joe Burrow under center.
07:28Yeah.
07:29Eight.
07:32Give me the negative 78 point differential Bengals.
07:35Cincinnati.
07:36The healthy Burrow.
07:38All right.
07:39He was healthy last year, wasn't he?
07:41I can't do anything about it.
07:43No.
07:44Flacco.
07:44No, he played half the games.
07:45Flacco.
07:45No, he played half the games.
07:46You're right.
07:46Flacco.
07:47Flacco.
07:47I won a big parlay on Flacco, right?
07:49That was with them, right?
07:51It was a primetime game, yeah.
07:52Yeah, yeah.
07:52Yeah, Steelers.
07:53The Pittsburgh game?
07:54Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:55Cleveland and Cincinnati, the colors, the division.
07:58I just make it.
07:58And Flacco has been in both places.
08:00Yes.
08:00Last year.
08:01Yeah.
08:01I think he was in both places.
08:03Right.
08:03Bengals-Steelers.
08:04That was the jackpot.
08:05Who were the tight ends?
08:07Washington.
08:08Friermuth.
08:09Who was the Bengals tight end that was unbelievable to catch a touchdown pass?
08:16No, not Gesicki.
08:17No, it was somebody even more incredible.
08:19I don't remember.
08:22Seven.
08:22It was a great win, though.
08:23It was an all-timer.
08:24Everybody in my family still talks about it.
08:26And by that, I mean they have no idea it happened.
08:29Just as well.
08:30Yeah.
08:32Drew Sample.
08:34Tanner Hudson.
08:37Fant.
08:38It was Fant.
08:38It was Noah Fant.
08:39Yeah.
08:40All right.
08:40Seven.
08:43Chargers.
08:44Jaguars.
08:45Sure.
08:46Yeah.
08:46Good.
08:53It's Jaguars.
08:57All right.
08:58I'm shaking things up.
08:59I'll say Jacksonville.
09:02What if they won?
09:04Absolutely nothing ever, ever.
09:07Right.
09:09There was some, there was some, at least in my social media feed, there was some Brian
09:14Thomas positivity today.
09:16Was there?
09:17There was.
09:17Was there a one-handed catch in there?
09:19I didn't see a one-handed catch.
09:21Maybe that's what the highlight was, but I just, the caption was just like, when he's
09:25going, look out for us, kind of thing.
09:28I don't think it was, I think it was the team, maybe.
09:30Maybe the team.
09:31That would be a weird thing for a reporter to say.
09:33These gloves.
09:34How do you ever drop a pass, even with one hand?
09:37The gloves.
09:37We've been on that story a long time.
09:39We were ahead of the curve on that.
09:40The gloves.
09:42Listen for one announcer this year to mention the gloves.
09:45You won't, you won't hear it.
09:48You might hear references to Fred Bolitnikoff caking his entire uniform in stick-em and
09:53how illegal that was.
09:54You will not hear anything mentioned about the increasing technology of gloves.
09:58Lester Hayes.
09:59Five.
10:00New England.
10:01Kansas City.
10:03Kansas City.
10:04I gotta admit, I kind of forgot about the Chiefs.
10:08Five, I think it's a good middle ground for them.
10:12Four.
10:12I'm going to stay with New England.
10:16The Bills have no claim to be below New England.
10:19I'll say Bills.
10:21I'll go New England.
10:23Okay.
10:24What an argument I made.
10:26Uh, three.
10:27It's the DJ Moore bump now.
10:29I'm okay with Bills here.
10:33You wouldn't trade DJ Moore for AJ Brown right now?
10:37Of course I would.
10:39Depends on the knee.
10:41No.
10:43Two.
10:43There is always that.
10:45We're down to Denver and Baltimore.
10:46Baltimore.
10:47They did it again.
10:49What am I doing?
10:50You started to say Baltimore at seven.
10:52I know!
10:53And they're two now?
10:55Two.
10:56Denver at one.
10:56Third week in a row.
10:57Congrats to Denver.
10:58Congrats to Denver.

11:07A weekly exercise that the three of us are squarely in control of.
11:12Should not ever end up in such a frustrating fashion.
11:15But yet here we are.
11:17Like, I'm mad.
11:19Mad is strong.
11:21I'm frustrated.
11:22You're going to be fine in like one minute.
11:25That's absolutely right.
11:26You're right.
