00:00Do you think there's going to be any upset? I know it's it's so early to do this. Do you
00:04think there's going to be any like upsets or like surprises coming out of the NFC this year where it's
00:09like, oh, my God, we got it because we got to understand the Patriots. Nobody saw them go into the
00:13Super Bowl. Nobody thought it was going to be Patriots Seahawks last year. And that's what it ended up being.
00:18Do you see any of that stuff kind of happening? Or is it just going to be, oh, one against
00:22one seed, one against two at the end of this season? Yeah, I think you're going to see the Bengals
00:28in the AFC championship game.
00:29Oh, and I think you're going to see there's going to be a look at they love the Bengals and
00:36there's going to be a litany of questions about Lamar Jackson after they have a six win season. Oh, so
00:43you're low on the on the Ravens and we're going to get into this. I like Lamar Jackson. I like
00:49Lamar Jackson. The offense that they're trying to get him to play.
00:53Okay. That's I don't think that he's going to be successful at that there. What we've seen now, Josh Allen
01:01has proven this. Lamar Jackson has proven this. Michael Vick has proven this. There are multiple ways to play quarterback.
01:07It doesn't always have to be the Tom Brady, Peyton Manning style of quarterback. Sometimes it can be the Michael
01:14Vick, Jalen Hurts type of quarterback. And when I put those two people in a sentence in the same sentence,
01:20because getting the job done at quarterback is all that matters.
01:26And if you try to save someone to have them as a 15 year career as a being like, listen,
01:34we finna get 10 good years that we finna Cam Newton this thing. This thing going to be lights out
01:38for 10 years.
01:39But at the year 11, the lights going to go out and Ben is going to close. You can stay
01:44open. But, you know, the customers, they're going to be coming like they used to.
01:48And I think we spend too much time trying to bubble wrap some of these guys when they're their best
01:54version of themselves playing in one particular way.
01:58Now, unfortunately for them, that's not a 15, 20 year way to play football, but you can have a lights
02:04out Hall of Fame career in 10 years.
02:07Calvin Johnson's done it. Lamar Jackson has done it. Lamar Jackson's got multiple MVPs.
02:12He should have three MVPs if we're being direct about it. One that Josh Allen got in this house belongs
02:18to Lamar Jackson.
02:19But that's a different conversation for a different day. I think what they're asking Lamar Jackson to do with this
02:24new offense is just not him.
02:26And either they're going to rip the bandaid off and go back to what works for him as opposed to
02:32trying to force him into something that he's just not.
02:34And I think they're going to suffer from that because Lamar Jackson's play style doesn't fit this new offense.
02:41So you have the Bengals winning the AFC North?
02:44Yes. The AFC North has three new coaches.
02:48Yes.
02:49Do you believe in Pittsburgh? Do you believe in Mike McCarthy? I don't.
02:53Do you believe in what's happening in Baltimore? I don't.
02:56Do you believe what's happening in Cleveland? I don't.
02:59Yes.
03:01Okay. Cleveland might be another four-win team and back-to-back four-five-win team.
03:06What they're doing, they got nothing, man. The cupboard's bare.
03:10And they forced him to play Deshaun Watson because, you know, financial decisions.
03:16So to me, that division, Cincinnati's going to walk out that division to win it.
03:20They put a little bit more money in the defense.
03:22And Joe Burrow is the best quarterback in that division.
03:25AFC East, are you betting on a New England Patriots regression?
03:30Man, this is going to be Josh Allen all the way.
03:32Josh Allen and DJ Moore about to light things up, boy.
03:34I think DJ Moore is a sneaky deal this offseason that is going to pay dividends.
03:38It's going to allow Keon Coleman to be better.
03:41It's going to allow their run game to be more developed because now you have to look at it from
03:45both ways.
03:45And Josh Allen is so dynamic with the ball in his hands.
03:48He's literally the guy, every play, who should have the ball.
03:54And I'm predicting another MVP-type year for Josh Allen.
03:58He won't keep getting it because they got Lamar Jackson him.
04:00They'll find a reason to give it to somebody else.
04:02But I think you're going to see a year between Josh Allen and DJ Moore
04:06that absolutely makes everybody else on that roster better.
04:09And that's what he's been missing.
04:11AFC West, any surprises for you there?
04:13Raiders? No? Chargers?
04:15No. No.
04:16Are you high on the Chargers?
04:18I think the Chargers are going to be neck and neck in that division with the Broncos.
04:22It's just about can Bo Nix and Sean Payton get along.
04:26You don't believe in the Chiefs.
04:29The Chiefs are old.
04:31They're old, man.
04:32They are.
04:33They're old.
04:34What are we doing?
04:35Rasheed Rice is coming back.
04:37Okay, cool.
04:39Is he going to get arrested?
04:41Patrick Mahomes maybe coming back early?
04:43Patrick Mahomes is legendary.
04:45But even he has shown at some point, you got to help him.
04:49Travis Kelsey is more concerned about, you know, the other side of his life.
04:53You know, kudos to him for getting married and having a terrific off-the-field life.
04:57But he seems more like that's the direction that he's going and hosting podcasts
05:01than it is him being more, you know, an impact player on the football field
05:04because father time is undefeated.
05:06So, you know, he's going to have to get a bit of fun.
