Speaker 2 (00:59):
So shame on me?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
I took Justin Fields over Dak and Derek Carr over
Patrick Mahomes and my blazing five. Sometimes I outthink the room.
You know, I tend to bet numbers over teams, but
you know, I was watching tonight two thoughts. This had
a real chess checkers feel to it, as Kansas City
beats New Orleans and controls the game. I mean, in
(01:23):
the first half they had a fifteen first downs to five.
Time of possession was double two hundred and eighty yards
and the Saints could barely move it. But it was
really interesting. I remember years ago, I was with a friend.
I was watching the Phoenix Sun Chicago Bulls finals, Barkley
against Jordan, and I was talking to a friend of mine.
She was a women's really good women's basketball player, and
(01:45):
we were talking about Jordan, and Jordan was six ' six,
wasn't the best shooter or ball handler as a guard
in the NBA, but he just made things look so easy.
And that's what great players do. I mean, you watch
show Hey O Tani, and it just everything looks kind
of easy, and you never see them strained. Watching Derek
(02:06):
Carr struggle mightily, Uh just just everything seems hard. Troy
Aikman at one point was being very kind as he
underthrew another deep ball saying, well, he threw it as
far as he could. Everything with Mahomes is just it's
kind of it's effortless. Uh, you know, mechanics are solid.
(02:28):
You would think watching him, but he's a little loose
because Aaron Rodgers can be a little loose.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
He's really not.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
His mechanics are excellent, He's always got his feet and
his hips right. It's just it's just easy. And that's
part of when you're watching a college athlete. Schadur Sanders
has this at Colorado where he's effortlessly accurate. He can
be moving left, right, forward, back, just any any platform.
(02:55):
Shador Sanders is just it's easy movements, easy, accuracy is easy.
I mean to me Quinn Viewers now Texas has been
hurt a couple times. That worries me. Carson Beck cam
Ward's good but small. You know, you watch Sadeur Sanders
and you're like, it's just, you know, he just moves
and throws without great effort, and that's what Mahomes does.
(03:19):
And it was a great contrast to watch Mahomes effortlessly
and Derek Carr straining on anything that was more than
ten yards. For Derek Carr seemed like it was hard.
Also a complete coaching mismatch Dennis Allen's second job. Nothing creative,
nothing clever, nothing really thoughtful and everything Kansas that he does.
(03:40):
I mean, it was a Monday night football game. Taylor
Swift was there, Travis Kelcey, what a shock. He suddenly
was productive. But it was like they were kind of
showing off from moneynet football Andy Reid. I mean, how
many quick, little clever flips did Kansas City have tonight?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Five six?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
That's what it felt like to me. They were showing off,
and you know, that's what great teams do. The Warriors
in their run, you know, had a little sometimes excessive
flair to put a stamp on it. And I felt
like Kansas City tonight they knew they were on Monday
night football, they knew the audience with Taylor Swift would
be large, and they played the TV a little bit.
(04:19):
And it's not like they got away with it. I mean,
outside of a kind of a bad bounce which Colin
Saunders of New Orleans and former high school running back
now a defensive linemen ran up the field and got
the Saints in good field position. They didn't do anything,
never made Kansas City's defense think, I mean Juju Smith
Schuster productive, playoff productive for the Chiefs. They ship no
(04:43):
New England. He disappears, they bring him back. I think
he had like six seven catches tonight. So they just
they're just dealing at a different level between Reed and Mahomes, smarter,
more effortless.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
You're watching. This is the best team easily in the
league right now. I mean I don't.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I mean, I think the Ravens sometimes are more explosive offensively,
they don't stack up defensively. And I thought tonight when
New Orleans isn't a terrible team, and Dennis Allen's bottom
third coach, and Derek Carr, you know, for years and
years we kind of thought Derek Carr was kind of
in that Kirk Cousins mode. Kirk Cousins is a completely
different player than Derek Carr, and my bad if I
(05:23):
ever compared the two. But you know, Kirk this year
proving once again he's just he and Dak you can
depend on high IQ in big spots, regardless of how
they played. You kind of trust them in some big
spots if the game's close late. I do just smart
guys who can make plays. Derek Carr is just arm strength,
inability to move everything looks difficult, just a different class
(05:48):
washing Tonight.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I wrote down some.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Numbers here at the end of the game. Four hundred
and sixty yards for the Chiefs, two hundred for the Saints.
Almost double the first downs, almost double the time of possession.
Ugly and god, what am I doing taking Dennis Allen
over Andy Reid and Derek Carr over Mahomes? You know,
(06:11):
I do think as we go into Week six of
the NFL starting to see some bigger spreads, some of
the bigger spreads, I don't think there are a lot
of teams now that I look at and don't at
least have a feel for them. I mean, I think
one of the harder teams for me to get my
arms around is the Arizona Cardinals. Yesterday, I thought they
(06:33):
would be really tough on San Francisco, and they were,
But I thought they would be really tough at home
against Washington and we're not competitive Arizona to me, and
I think this is a lot of Kyler Murray's personality.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Boy, they can be really tough.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Beat themselves, inconsistent, but man, Arizona week to week can
be really tough. Buffalo has a little bit of that
feel where I just I'm not quite sure what I'm
getting a lot of it depends on who's healthy and
who's not. Buffalo in Arizona, and I think Buffalo is
a better team, better organization top to bottom. Those two teams,
(07:06):
I kind of sit and watch. I get a feel
for him. By the end of the first quarter. What
am I going to get? Josh Allen wasn't his day.
You could sense it didn't have a slot receiver, was off,
it was on the road, got banged up later. Buffalo,
I think is the best team. I picked them to
win their division. In fact, in the AFC right now,
I had Buffalo, Kansas City, Houston, and Baltimore winning their division.
(07:30):
So I'm right there. Atlanta is good. Denver's the surprise team.
I think we got that right. Washington I thought would
be one of the surprise teams. I have no feel
for the NFC West at all. I think the Rams
are injury plagued. San Francisco's peaked. Seattle's got a good roster,
but it's Gino Smith. I think Arizona week to week
(07:51):
can be just a scintillating team. Had a chance to
win it. Buffalo gave them fits early beat San Francisco.
I just they're one of the few teams I don't
I can't track. I'm not sure. But I also think
we talked about this a few years ago. There was
a very good quarterback class that had Jalen Hurts and
Joe Burrow and Herbert and Tuey. They hit in a
(08:13):
lot of guys. I think this quarterback class, Caleb and
Jayden Daniels and bow Knicks all look like they can play.
Now New England's offensive line is so bad and they're
so inept offensively. Do you play Drake May do you not?
I'm okay with either. I don't have a strong feeling.
Michael Pennix I think will be good. But it does
(08:33):
look like bow, Jaden Daniels, and Caleb Williams can play.
That's three hits, and I think Pennix will eventually. He
may not play until next year, he may not play
for two years, but I think he can play if
he stays healthy. And JJ McCarthy across your fingers, if
he can beat out Sam Darnold. But the more of
these guys that hit, the better football is. Because you're
(08:55):
watching New Orleans tonight. I mean, Kansas City made that
game watchable. How's Miami without Tua? It's hard to watch.
Seattle has all that talent, They're a tough watch. Depending
on the weekend, the more quarterbacks hit, the better. I
think It's also interesting, is you know we kind of
we kind of looked at this quarterback class as this
(09:17):
one good next year not good. But I'll tell you
I shaduor Standers can kind of drive me crazy with
some of the vanity and ego stuff. But my guess
is Colorado I feel somewhat strongly about this. With Quinn
Ewers at Texas getting injured again, I think Colorado's going
to have the top two players picked in the draft.
(09:38):
I think Travis Hunter and shaduor Sanders are going to
go one two in the draft, so and I think
they'll they both have a chance to be big time stars.
Travis Hunters gonna be a star if he stays healthy,
be a big time star. But Kansas City rules tonight
not a big surprise. The Kansas City chief for the record,
(10:01):
have at at least a five game winning street for
the last twelve years and just look in their division
reading Mahomes because there's only there's only one thing that
really lasts in the NFL, the legendary coach and the
legendary quarterback playing together. Walsh, Montana Belichick, Brady Read Mahomes.
(10:24):
Look at the division since Andy Reeve arrived in Kansas City.
I mean, the Chargers have gone through Anthony Lynn, They've
gone through Brandon Staley. Now they're on Jim Harbaugh. The
Raiders have gone through countless coaches. Denver now has on
Sean Payton and bow Knicks. And that's one of the advantages.
(10:45):
That's what Brady and Belichick did for years. Remember that,
I mean, how many coaches did the Jets have? Did
the Miami Dolphins have? Is that you have such an
information advantage, momentum, and cultural advantage. Once you get the
right coach like Houston, aw Demiko Ryans and CJ. Stroud,
(11:07):
you could see them running together for eight to ten years.
The rest of these teams in your division are flying
through GMS, new scouting departments. There's just no momentum. I mean,
that's why if you get the right coach in this
league and the right quarterback, it just it just gets
better and easier and easier. I mean, we may not
(11:28):
like Sean mcdermot's you know, weekend, but I mean, how
many is it four or five division titles in a row?
The Jets are going to run through another coach, probably
New England starting over with Jared Mayo and Drake may
Miami McDaniel will probably stay to of comes back. But
don't you have to draft another quarterback. It's such an
(11:48):
advantage once you get the legendary coach and the star quarterback.
It's not that you just have more talent, you just
have more institutional knowledge and momentum, cultural momentum. You don't
have to keep teaching new players over and over. Chris Jones,
Travis Kelcey Mahomes, a couple of the offensive linemen. Now
(12:09):
these secondary guys, Bolton the linebacker, these guys become teachers
for you. They're spreading the gospel. They're spreading the message,
so you're not running through I mean ask yourself this.
If you get a new boss at work, or you
take a new job, it takes you six six months.
Every job I've ever had, it takes me six months
to catch up. Where am I comfortable? Who am I
(12:30):
comfortable with? It's exhausting. It's such an advantage to be
Kansas City right in their division. It just you know,
it's they have separated. I thought tonight they've just separated
from everybody else. And tonight it was also a reminder
is you can't overreact to the first couple of weeks.
(12:52):
The Saints have scored forty nine points in the last
three weeks. Remember the first two weeks, they looked unbelievable
up and down the field. I mean, you know, Clint Kubiak,
he's the next Shanahan. They did nothing creative at all tonight.
I mean, it just looked like they It looked like
they mailed it in. They weren't even ready to play
(13:13):
in the first quarter. Not it looked like they weren't prepared.
So New York Giants looked terrible first week. I think
that's a real football team. I mean, Washington really struggled
in the opening week, crushed people since I mean, go
look at Caleb Williams first ten quarters, in his last
ten quarters, first ten quarters, scary, last ten quarters. He's
(13:36):
he's the bona fide big time player. Bow Knicks first
couple of games, bow Knicks last couple of games. So
you know we've said this before, is it's really hard
to judge the first two weeks of the season anymore
because nobody plays any of the starters in the preseason,
so you're kind of guessing. But I really felt I
kind of feel like outside of Buffalo in Arizona and
(13:57):
I both think they have really really good Sunday. I
kind of feel like I have a little bit of
track on teams. I'm officially now off New Orleans, but
I had at Lanta winning the division.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Anyway. New Orleans folded me for two weeks. Giants, I
kind of.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Sold early after their opening week. I think they're a
good football team. I don't think I'm overreacting. They have
good online play, good d line play, excellent coach, quarterback,
doesn't turn it over, and Eliite Neighbors comes back.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Pretty good football team.
