00:01all right david hit the music with rico has he has the day off paul sarah power rank
00:08oh this ought to be good put him at 14 move everybody up
00:14now my question are the rules the same the post trade deadline yeah our rank this is about what
00:22you've done today not where you're gonna go tomorrow yes i tried to keep it as much in line
00:29is rico wood in honor of rico so i'll start with the in honor of rico is still with us
00:35he has the
00:35day off all right jeez so i'm going to start with number 14 so honorable mention i'm going to start
00:41with the los angeles rams yeah look they still have better super bowl odds in vegas than the lions
00:48yet they have worse playoff odds this is about survival now what's interesting they didn't put
00:53pukinaku on ir yeah and davante adams might be back week 11 yes sooner rather than later if they can
01:03just get a little bit of perimeter support on offense miles garrett's back they'll get by
01:08i'm good with it but they have zero margin for error yeah the reason i put him at 14 honestly
01:14i would
01:14have had him a little bit higher but you mcveigh almost cost his best receiver his season yeah so
01:19he's got to drop down for that that's fine number 13 mike i've got your new york giants
01:24i know i think the rams are better but they're on punishment for what sean mcveigh did put them at
01:2814 move everybody up look the giants are a fun story it's year one of a rebuild they're winning games
01:34but they haven't beaten anybody any good and they themselves are in fact not good they're also one of
01:40the six most injured teams in the league lose franchise qb lose a franchise pass rusher lose your
01:45franchise linebacker they're just they're limited i won't be surprised they lose tonight so i'm fine
01:51with it paul but i they're they're not in the same galaxy as the rams yeah i would have switched
01:56it but
01:56it's no big deal this is one spot all right number 12 is the seattle seahawks yeah i mean the
02:04quentin
02:05nelson thing he's hurt for a few weeks but the running backs are back healthy quarterback position
02:10you flip a coin drew lock's been good when he's played sam darnold he's whatever i can leave him
02:15there it's the best defense in football it's arguably the best home field advantage in football
02:19but another team very little margin for error i think someone who wins 10 games is getting left home
02:27in the in the nfc very little margin for error for the week to week yes and unfortunately a team
02:33with 10 wins is going to get left home for a team with like seven or eight coming out of
02:36the nfc
02:36which is why there needs to be a a a change to the nfl seating bylaws but that's another
02:42conversation generous for saying seven or eight it's probably going to six but i got here wow
02:47and then uh just missing the top 10 and number 11 is the green bay packers
02:52i mean they did have a virtuoso performance david that's what it can look like if the yolo balls are
02:58landing yep but uh worst offensive line against the pass third worst offensive line against the run
03:04i just don't buy it but for this week i'll follow the rules yes and parsons is practicing again too
03:10okay all right and then number 10 just making it into the top 10 david's going to be thrilled
03:17his pittsburgh steelers no put them at 14 move everybody i got no respect for the steelers now
03:25here's the problem they're winning games they win ugly who they ever this weekend is a quintessential
03:34play renegade steelers game this is where we all want to fall in love with the bangles
03:39and what do they do they go to hill jack land and they lose some ugly ass 19 to 17
03:47game to the
03:48yinzers i i'll leave them here but i just i know they're not good i know they're not good
03:56but i know exactly what david's team's gonna do this weekend well they're on the road so yeah they're
04:00going to lose this weekend that's what they're gonna do wait they're in cincy in cincy i apologize
04:05yeah i'll get put them at 14 move everybody out put them ever if they were going into heinz field
04:10like i've seen this movie before okay number nine the denver broncos yeah i can't fight it anymore
04:18i mean they win games the referees handed them the carolina game if you watched any of that but
04:23my problem still and why i think they're limited where you're not going to be able to move them
04:27way up this list there's just nothing vertical in their offense and bo nicks is just so limited so
04:35yeah you can have him here but that's it for me yeah the uh waddle trade looks like a great
04:40trade
04:41on the dolphin side of things because the broncos aren't going to use them because they can't throw
04:44the ball you trade for an explosive player and you can't deliver him the football
04:50okay next up is a team that didn't make a big trade and that's the number eight in the
04:55minnesota vikings i i keep them in a top 10 because cousins should help their offense but
05:00their offense is historically awful and so until we see with our own eyes we can't be for sure
05:05that he's going to fix it yeah if he's average they'll win 10 games if he's above average they'll
05:10get to 11 i i gotta see it but i'm fine with you putting them here because they went out
05:15and got a
05:16starting quarterback who has 20 plus touchdown passes this season it's not like they went out and got
05:22jacoby brissette cousins was playing quality football so now paul i'm okay with that uh see
05:30this is where i have a problem uh oh i probably would have done 10 slid everyone else down only
05:37put them at 10 because they did beat the packers so you have at 11 but it's more projection sounds
05:43like what you're putting them there or they could be it what they are right now offensively horrible so
05:50i'm going with what we have now they should be at 10 okay yeah yeah do you feel attacked
05:58uh number seven the kansas city chiefs
06:04shaky it's shaky but i understand it they did just lose huh they did just lose to the broncos
06:11well they've lost they've lost back-to-back games and they've looked bad doing it um the bronco game i
06:16still go back to what was that goal line series of calls what was the third down run by kenneth
06:21walker it was the weirdest play on earth it didn't make sense they're just fortunate patrick
06:27mom's arm isn't broke i can leave them here i tinker a little bit i feel like the chiefs
06:36vikings with cousins green bay that they're kind of the same thing you could throw them all in a hat
06:43and they all could become better because of additions yeah by downs for the chiefs uh cousins
06:50for the vikings and parsons for the packers yes all of them are right there they could all move this
06:55thing further into the top five possibly honestly i don't know i wouldn't when i saw the mahomes hit i
07:02thought it was the julian saint injury all over again the fact that he could still throw a football
07:05and he's practicing and gonna play is a miracle i thought it's armes bro i i couldn't i couldn't believe
07:11it and okay number six the detroit lions it's a little high for my tastes but i understand what
07:19you're doing they won some of these other teams like minnesota got blasted the chiefs have lost
07:24two in a row it is a weekly ranking i'm not gonna i'm not gonna protest too much do i
07:31think they beat
07:31some of the teams that are lower on the list no i don't but i'll live with it i because
07:37again it's by
07:38the weekly david and they did go out and win they haven't lost in a month and by the way
07:44he does
07:44the rank okay and that's why because they've won the four in a row so yes they deserve to be
07:49at six
07:50and number five the cincinnati bangles
07:58i can't trust this team this is funny go ahead david you hate this they have no defense whatsoever
08:03that's not totally offensively they look amazing they truly do but it's like they're running i can
08:10well yeah but the way they're passing the ball up and down the field they don't need to run right
08:14now
08:14i just don't trust their defense to make plays in big spots i'd swap them with the lions i i
08:21again
08:22based on resume but also based on the lions play to bangles i'm taking the lions
08:27the cincinnati is absolutely they can't get chase brown going and scored a touchdown since week one
08:32he had like eight carries last week it's just gonna be real hard to keep doing it i think david
08:37was a little hard in their defense though but that's fine i don't know mike i kind of feel like
08:41if you said lions bangles and it's going to be a shootout i'm taking joe burrow man all right i've
08:46seen him do it in the playoffs against the best quarterbacks in the world well unfortunately we
08:49don't get to see that we only get to see the lions play a bunch of bula bula all right
08:53number four on the
08:54list the buffalo bills i'm good with it i'm not allowed to project further that they got imani
09:02hooker but they did their job they went in and even though they have a bad defense they didn't let
09:07minnesota get any rhythm get anywhere they blasted him and josh allen i know he had the one turnover
09:15they've done the job and now i think their defense will have a chance getting at oliver healthy
09:20get imani hooker acclimated they got a chance to take this further so yeah i'm good with that
09:26and then number three the jacksonville jaguars i'm disappointed in you i really think they could
09:34be number two i that that might be the best team of football no one talks about them do you
09:40realize
09:40they've pulled trevor lawrence early in like seven games he hasn't played in the fourth quarter
09:45they blast teams oh i know oh they played some bad teams right but they've buried them
09:52every week they've added to the defense that they're good in all three phases and they have
09:59the most underrated offensive mind in football i know he's a weirdo duval liam cohen is a brilliant
10:07offensive mind i right now i swear to god that they're the best team in the afc
10:14my only misgiving with them is and it's not anything to do with the on-field product it's
10:18just the fact that if you're not going to target him in a game why are you hanging on to
10:22him and
10:22that's brian thomas jr may know he literally had zero targets against the ravens and you didn't trade
10:27him he's at zero targets in 2024 i don't know where he's been the last year and a half as
10:34a rookie he
10:34was dominant and number two on the list the chicago bears yeah it's it's fine obviously didn't love
10:44their performance the other night i think the only benefit is for the first time in a long time the
10:49chicago bears their defense had to win them a game a couple of the picks by caleb or fluky but
10:54they
10:54count i think it's a good reality check for them they were getting a little high in their own supply
10:59a little cocky the first 15 20 minutes of that game caleb was out there playing a video game it
11:04was flawless he got loose with the football probably a good teaching moment for ben johnson
11:10right now outside of san francisco to me they're far and away the best team in the nfc yeah they
11:17would have been number one if the second half of that game didn't happen and i saw caleb get a
11:21little bit like he was video game mode and he he was like heat checking himself in that second half
11:26like i'm dominating let me just let's be fair tampa's the best defense in football taking the
11:30ball away and i think they're number six in overall defense and todd bowles made some adjustments in
11:36that game and yeah it got it got pretty hairy they survived i they i don't like the way they
11:42play but
11:42let's not make it like they were playing a scrub-a-dub defensively they weren't that's a good defensive
11:47football team yeah i mean todd bowles might not be a great head coach but he's always been a good
11:51defensive coordinator absolutely he'd be a person i'd call to be my dc any day of the week head
11:56coach never and then number one and this should make rico happy the san francisco 49ers i just
12:03think they're the best team in the nfl yeah added buckner added keenan allen they're they're they're
12:07waiting to get their full complement of players back it buys them time to bring mike evans back
12:12they might get debo samuel back this week maybe it's hard to argue they're just a level above last
12:21team i'd want to see in the playoffs is them and that is the uh nfl power rankings
12:27you
