All right, all right, all right, all right, all right.
We have football tonight, folks,
but you know what?
We have a pressing matter that needs to be talked about
right now, okay?
Devante Adams wants out.
Now, I did talk briefly about it in the last episode,
but we have to go deep now that there's more information
that has come out about this entire conundrum, okay?
We gotta talk about what caused this,
best teams, best situations,
all those different types of things and more,
as well as tonight's game, which is the Bucks and Falcons,
okay?
Cowboys and the Steelers play Sunday night,
Miami versus Cal, Georgia versus Auburn,
and Colorado versus Kansas State, okay?
We're gonna keep this episode as short, sweet,
and to the point as best as we can,
but if we go over, well, then guess what?
Oh, well, okay?
I am your host, okay?
I am your chief, head of the table, chief,
Bagrow Domus.
I am your chief head of the table, two times,
two times, folks, okay?
Two times, chief meteorologist,
Bag meteorologist, if I may say so myself, okay?
I am a GM that still currently is not on the team right now,
but best believe, guess what?
I've already come first, second,
and third round mock drafts for next year's draft
in the year before that, okay?
I'm all of these things and more, okay?
But the most important title
that you need to worry about is,
I am your fellow football junkie,
your host with the most Cal.
Now you already know what I'm getting ready to say.
You're probably thinking,
you're probably getting ready to turn up the volume,
you're probably getting ready to turn down the volume.
I don't know, but guess what?
One, three, one, two, three, let's lock in.
[♪ upbeat music playing
All right folks, let's just get into the meat and potatoes of everything that is going on
because there is a lot that is going on right now in the league.
So the biggest news that needs to be talked about is Oakland receiver Devonte Adams has
officially requested a trade.
He wants out of Las Vegas.
I keep on saying Oakland.
It shows you how old I am.
Before we get into the crevices of this entire situation, we have to take a step back and
we have to first identify what caused him to make this move.
So originally there was an Instagram post talking about that this possibly could have
been Devonte Adams last season with the Raiders and head coach Antonio Pierce liked it.
He liked it.
And so that caused a somewhat of a snowball effect to where now to where he does not want
to be there.
Okay, he wants out.
Now when we look at this, you know, this is a very, this is the Raiders once again, being
the Raiders doing Raiders things.
Okay.
And you know, this is somewhat of a conversation that I have with with with with MOOC yesterday.
Basically, you know, if you had feelings about Devonte Adams and you felt like this towards
him, like you, you just didn't want, you just didn't rock with him no more and you wanted
to move on from him, then you should have just kept that behind closed doors.
Right.
That should have been something that you talk about, you know, at the dinner table or on
your way home, you know, from, you know, from work or something like that.
That's not something that you bring with you, you know, into social media because guess
what, people are going to connect the dots.
Okay.
People are going to, they're going to connect the dots.
They're going to figure out if this is true or not.
And they're going to figure out if that's really you and that's really you.
Then guess what?
Boom.
You're caught red handed.
And, you know, but at the same time, this is a very picky situation because who is really
going to be willing to go after Devonte Adams money wise, because when we look at this,
this is the last year that of his deal that he has fully guaranteed money.
And we all know that the next two years, okay, according to who spot rack shout out to the
spot rack, no one's going to be willing to have to keep him on the team where next year's
base salary is going to be both 35 million.
No one's not going to want to do that.
No one.
And so when we look at this, it is somewhat of a bad contract.
It's a bad contract to take on because the only way that you can justify it is you would
have to give him an extension.
That's the only way because he's going to want more guaranteed money.
He's not going to keep on playing and there's no guaranteed money.
So that's another that will I'm going to have myself as always.
But you know, just that that's that's the first thing that you have to worry about.
The next thing is you have to figure out, you know, how long does he want to play for
because at some point he's there's going to be a decline.
It's for any player.
I don't care if you are an all pro first battle hall of fame or all those different types
of things, all different types of credentials.
Everyone hits the point where you start to decline and you don't want to put you, you
don't want to put the cart before the horse and then you're basically, you know, you don't
gave him a two year, $60 million extension and then he only plays for one year.
And he retires, you don't want that, you don't.
So again, it's a very nasty situation altogether.
But you know, if we can be real here, the Raiders once again, and I will continue to say this
and I've been saying it multiple times, they continue to shoot themselves in the foot.
Continue here, you have a team who has allowed their best players to walk.
Okay.
From Josh Jacobs, they let him walk.
They cut Hunter Renfro.
Now Devonte Adams wants out.
It's only a matter of time before Max Crosby wants out as well.
Right.
Because the team, it's not the end.
This is this sort of sort of goes into what I said yesterday about quarterbacks and in
organizational whatnot, but Raiders have been a dysfunctional organization for over 20 some
years now.
I'm 29 years old.
And as far as I can remember, they have been a dysfunctional organization.
The last time that they were, the last time they really weren't as dysfunctional as they
are now was when out Davis guy rested.
So we're still alive when he was like, you know, in his right mind and, you know, he
had control over the team and stuff like that.
That was the last time where they, you know, they were, they were doing their thing.
They had some motion.
They had some, uh, some, some juice with them, but now it's horrible.
It's absolutely horrible.
It's unstable.
It's just a nasty situation.
And you know, if I am a player, I'm looking at Antonio Pierce with a side eye because,
you know, if this is how you feel about, you know, the best offensive player on the team,
how do you feel about me behind closed doors?
Like this, this is only going to get worse as the season progresses.
It's going to, and you know, it puts everybody else in a bad situation because now this,
Raiders offense is going to get squashed.
It's going to get squashed.
The only real hope that they have was the Bonte Adams.
That's it.
Brock Bowers is a rookie.
So he's still, he's still getting, you know, still, still learning everything and whatnot.
I don't even know who the running back is.
No disrespect to you.
Gardner Mentshu doesn't have a reliable weapon anymore.
So what exactly is the identity of the Raiders now?
What is it?
I can't say, oh, it's smash, smash mouth, you know, football, you know, the old sayings
that they used to say about the Raiders.
You can't say that anymore because they haven't done anything.
They are just, they, they're horrible.
This is a horrible organization.
If I'm Christian Wilkins, I'm probably regretting the decision I made of signing with the Raiders
because you just, you went from a semi-good situation with the Dolphins to a just flat
out toxic situation with, you know, the Raiders, but, you know, I digress.
But moving forward, you know, there, there have been, you know, some, some rumblings
of certain teams that, that he would go for.
And some of the teams included, I think the 49ers, the Cowboys, the Jets, the Steelers,
the Bills.
I even think the Ravens were, were brought up, I think at, at one time, I can tell you
now the Cowboys have already backed out.
They've already backed out.
They, they don't want to be interested in it.
But all the other teams though, it is very lucrative for all of them though.
And even teams that, that haven't been listed, but this is what I will say.
This, this might turn, this might turn it into someone of a, of a rank.
Devonte Adams put himself in this situation.
Okay.
I understand that you made a move out of emotion.
Okay.
You made a move out of emotion because of what Aaron Rogers did.
I get that.
But you left a stable organization to go into a dysfunctional organization.
Although yes, you did get the money, but guess what?
You're not winning.
You haven't been winning and you're used to winning.
And now that you're in this, this crazy situation and you have this big deal, guess what?
Not a lot of teams have the cap space flexibility to be able to absorb your contract.
They don't.
So what in the world are people going to do at this point?
There's no, and I know there, there was a report that was coming out that, you know,
Devonte Adams only wants to play with quarterbacks that he's, that he's played with in the past.
Bro, throw that out the window.
Throw that out the window because neither one of the quarterbacks that you play for,
whether it be Derek Carl or Aaron Rogers or any situation right now where they can compete
and make a deep playoff, a deep playoff run and possibly win a Super Bowl, neither one.
I'm going to carry anyone says from neither one of those fan bases, neither one of those
teams are in a place right now where they can legitimately compete with the best of
the best teams in not only in the AFC, but in the entire league and possibly win a Super
Bowl.
They're not.
The jets are literally a loss away from just blowing everything up.
Right?
You're going to go from a toxic situation with the Raiders to another toxic situation
with the jets and that, that whole debacle in itself, especially when you have people
like Garrett Wilson that, you know, has come out publicly and sort of, you know, talked
about how he's not being, how he feels like he's not being utilized the best way that
he possibly can and how this offense could do more than have it.
So you have that mix with, you know, the, the instability with the Saints because the
Saints at this point have been trying to offer a rebuild, but at this point they're going
to have to go through a rebuild.
Okay.
It's time.
It's time to make that transition from Drew Brees.
They still think that, you know, if they get Derek Carr, you know, that puts them back
in the running and they can possibly do something.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it doesn't.
It just doesn't.
That team does not have enough on both sides of the ball where they can be competitive,
where they can go, you know, toe to toe with some of the best teams, not only in their
conference, but in the league.
They don't.
Okay.
If the Saints right now were to go up against the Vikings, it would not end well.
It won't.
So either way, you know, where, where exactly could you go?
You can go to the Chiefs because the Chiefs don't have the, the cap flexibility, you know,
to get you, not to mention it's in your division and the Raiders aren't going to do that.
They're just, they're not going to do that.
I mean, you could go to the Bills that that would definitely, you know, probably be a
great situation because, you know, you'll be playing with a, an elite quarterback in
Josh Allen.
You'll be the number one receiver.
So you'll, you'll be getting a majority of the balls.
You will.
But, you know, do you really want to do that?
Do you want to go to Pittsburgh?
Even though, yes, you know, there's a whole bunch of conundrums and drama with the quarterback
position, quote unquote, air quote, big air quotes, you know, with Justin Fields and Russell
Wilson, they're winning.
They're winning.
They're winning right now.
Yes.
They lost to the Colts, which, you know, that's I'll talk about that, you know, later, later
into the episode, but they're winning.
They're winning.
They have, they have motion.
They're starting to do things.
Things are starting to go in the right direction for the Steelers.
So I ask you, Devonte, if I was to have a conversation with Devonte Adams, really think
hard about this decision.
You, you, you were, you were the most successful when you were in a stable organization in
the Packers.
You want to continue to do that.
You don't want to continue to be in this situation where you are not, where you're going from
a toxic organization to toxic organization to toxic organization.
You don't want that.
You don't.
And you want to win.
You got the bag.
Okay.
Now you should probably want to go to the best team possible that is going to, you know,
possibly make a playoff run and maybe even a deep playoff run and possibly, you know,
try to compete, at least compete for a title.
They'll necessarily have to win it, but at least if you can experience that, you know,
that atmosphere of, you know, possibly going to the Super Bowl and whatnot, that means
the whole world compared to, you know, okay, yeah, I got the bag and you know, that's it.
Because then you're going to be one of these, you're going to be one of these players, you
know, once you're done, once you're done with football and whatnot, it's going to be
saying, man, I wish I would have done X, Y and Z.
I possibly could have won the title of this and the other blah, blah, blah, all the things
that all those, you know, salty former players say, but you have an opportunity to do it
because why you're still regarded as one of the best receivers in the league.
Now when we get to the money side of everything, I don't think teams are going to be willing
to commit to him long term.
Now they may just give him just one extension and you know, it just gives them, it gives
him a lot of guarantee money or it may do a two year that made that's actually a one
year.
I don't know, but there's a way that they can do it.
Okay.
You have options.
You could go to Washington right now.
Washington is hot.
You have Terry McCoyne with the Vonte Adams on that offense and Jaden Daniels.
That's a deadly combination right there.
That is a very deadly combination.
Looking to the Eagles possibly because you know, AJ Brown is down and Vonte Smith is
down.
You have options.
The Vonte Smith, I mean, the Vonte Adams, you have options, but if you don't want to
do it, but if you don't make the right decision, guess what?
No one is going to feel bad for you.
Know what?
No one's going to feel bad for old Devonte Adams.
You put yourself in the situation, get yourself out of this situation.
You now have another chance, a second chance that we're being real here to rewrite the
first wrong that you did, which was leave the Packers because now the Packers are in
a great space.
They are.
And I don't even think the Packers would entertain trying to get you back at this point.
I just don't.
But who am I now on to tonight's game Thursday night's game now?
It's a game that, you know, probably not everybody's going to watch, but you know, I'll probably
watch it just because I like football and I'm a football junkie and all that stuff.
Now Falcons and Buccaneers.
Now this is a division rival game.
If I'm not mistaken, should be a pretty good game.
Should be a pretty intense game.
Now, I will say this, you know, Buccaneers are coming off of a really good win from the
Eagles.
They clip their wings.
The Falcons have are, you know, they're starting to get some motion.
They're starting to, you know, get into the swing of things.
So, you know, I just jot it down a few notes from NFL Pro that definitely caught my eye.
And you know, just to go over, you know, into this, you know, into this preview.
So, according to NFL Pro, shout out to them, Chris Godwin is tied second in reception
at 17 receiving yards in 228 and tied for the most touchdowns, two of them in the slot.
Now when we look at this, you know, Chris Godwin is definitely one of the best slot
receivers in the league right now.
He's definitely been doing his thing that Buccaneers often has definitely been balling
out, you know, since they've re-signed Baker Mayfield.
So, you know, I think it's going to be a really good matchup.
I do.
I do with the Falcons, you know, secondary.
I do believe this is going to be good.
I don't think it's going to be this, you know, high scoring game.
I think it's going to be low scoring, probably within the, you know, the 20s, maybe like,
you know, mid to high 20s.
And I just don't think it's going to be this, you know, dynamic Thursday night game.
Now, in the last three of the four games, Kirk Cousins has only has thrown for less
than two touchdowns.
Okay.
So, you know, we all know Kirk Cousins is going to do Kirk Cousins things.
Now, the question is, you know, is it going to be somewhat of a race of who can put up
the most points on the board or who was going to, or basically, you know, who's going to
have the ball last?
I think that that's what it's really going to come down to because Kirk Cousins show
in the Eagles game, you know, that he's, he's still that guy.
So, you know, let's see what happens when his first, you know, divisional game against,
you know, the Buccaneers, because the Buccaneers defense low key has been doing their thing.
Okay.
Anytime you can, you can, you know, do what they did to the Eagles.
Hey, that, that puts you on the map.
Okay.
Now, on 25 pass rushes this season, right?
Levante David has generated nine, which is the most for any off ball linebacker, whether
we want to a mirror and not folks.
Levante David has still is still at this point in his career is still one of the best linebackers
in the league.
Now, he may have fall off a little bit.
You know, he may have gotten a little bit slower, but just know the mind is still there.
Okay.
He can still make plays.
He can still do things.
Okay.
And, you know, nothing really bad to say about Levante David.
I think, you know, this off season when, when he was a free agent, I, I definitely, you
know, definitely believe that he wasn't going to leave the Buccaneers.
You know, that, that is somebody who was going to be a Buccaneer for life, you know, and,
you know, it shows he's, he's been balling out.
He's been doing his thing.
Now I'm not saying he's up there with Fred Warner and real clown Smith, but he is, you
know, a tier or a tier or two below them, though he is still, you know, one of those
dogs.
Okay.
The Falcons have used 11, 11 personnel, 85.1% of the time, which is the second most in the
lead, which in my mind sort of symbolizes that they're probably going to be running
the ball a little bit more in this game simply because I mean, you have, you know, Bison
Robinson doing his thing.
That offensive line is meant to be a road grading, you know, offensive line.
They're meant to wear you down to impose their will on you and just, you know, book points
on the board, march down the field.
And what, what better way to do it than to do it against a divisional opponent, you know?
Now I will say this, the, the Buccaneers defensive line, you know, they may try to put up a little
bit of resistance at first, but I don't, but, you know, as, as the game goes on, I don't
think they're going to, I don't think it's really going to be that much of a problem.
Now me personally, I think my prediction for this game will probably be 20, 24.
24, 24, 22 Falcons.
Just because the vision, the vision games are always close.
Always have, always will be the always be close.
The always be low scoring.
It's very rare.
If you have a divisional game that's very high scoring and whatnot, very rare.
Now on to the Steelers and Cowboys.
Yes, we do have to talk about them because why not because I'm a Steelers fan, but because
it's going to be one of the biggest games on Sunday night, I know everyone's going to
be watching and especially Cowboys fans, unfortunately.
Now with this, you know, this is a game where basically both teams have a lot to prove at
this point because the Steelers are coming off of, you know, their first loss against
the Colts.
And, you know, there have been a lot of questions about that Steelers offense, you know, it has
taken them a while for them to get the engine going and to be able to put points on the
board, not to mention a lot of the decision making that Mike Tomlin has been doing lately.
We have seen times in games where, you know, they're in field goal range and instead of
just kicking the field goal and putting points on the board, you just try to go forward on
fourth down.
Now granted, I understand Justin Fields is athletic.
He's fast and all those different types of things.
But if you have three points just sitting there, just take the three points.
Take the three points.
Instead of trying to take the risk of trying to convert the fourth down, because if you
don't convert the fourth down, that puts you at a disadvantage.
It does.
And, you know, I understand, you know, the vision for the team is, you know, this smash
mouth, you know, punch you in the mouth type of, you know, offense that's just, you know,
running, running it down your throat.
I get all of that.
But so far, it hasn't really worked the best.
The Steelers have to, the Steelers offense has to put points on the board.
That is where we still are at this point, you know, in this cycle of the NFL.
You still have to put points on the board.
You can't, you can't wait to do it until the second half.
You have to start the, the cult came, came out guns blazing in the first half of the
game.
And then once Anthony Richardson went down Joe Flacco did Joe Flacco things and he showed
that why he's still that guy.
He's Joe Flacco and Mooc Mooc will will will agree with me with this is a Raven for life.
No matter what other Jersey he puts on, if he goes up against the Steelers, guess what
Joe Flacco is going to do Joe Flacco things.
And that's exactly what he did.
That's exactly what he did.
The defense has to get better.
Patrick Queen has to get better.
Joe Porter, Jr. has to get better.
Okay.
As far as TJ Y, you know, being silent in the Colts game, I can't really, I already
know he's going to rebound that that's just who TJ Y is.
It's very rare where he has a very quiet game.
He doesn't do anything.
Okay.
Now these are just, you know, some notes as well that I've, you know, I've sort of
jot it down as well for this upcoming game.
So the Cowboys have allowed the fourth most rushing yards in the league, which is 444
rushing yards.
This is what I will say with them not having both D law and Michael Parsons, the Steelers
better run, run it, run it as run it as much as you want, run it till you can't run it
no more because that defensive line is weak.
You guys have the advantage.
Just do it.
You have Najee here is who hopefully he's, he's healthy enough to play a quarter of a
second, I don't think he probably will be playing, but they did move, I forgot his name.
I just, I literally just thought of him.
I just forgot it, but they moved up some players and whatnot.
So I do expect the Steelers to definitely, you know, run the ball heavy, very heavy into
this game simply because, you know, the Cowboys have been horrible when it comes to stopping
the run and everyone knows that.
And you know, what, what better way to impose your will than to just keep running the ball
on the team that's giving up the, the fourth most rushing yards in the, in the league.
Now, Cam Hayward has, has generated the ninth highest pressure rate for the tackles at 13.3
percent.
This is what I would say because I don't think I've had the chance to say it.
I was wrong.
Yes, you're your former GM who currently is not on the team right now was wrong.
And the reason why I say that is because originally when, you know, Cameron Hayward was looking
for a deal, I was thinking, you know, he's looking for one, you know, big, big payout
or something like that.
But, you know, when, when we got the details of the deal, it was manageable.
It was manageable.
It was very manageable.
And, you know, he's been doing his thing.
He's been balling out.
He's been stuffing the run.
He looks like the Cam Hayward of old.
So maybe he just needed, you know, to get healthy and whatnot.
And, you know, he's, he's playing with a purpose.
He's playing with a purpose and it shows.
So you know, I would be the first of many to say that I was wrong about Cam.
I was, I was definitely wrong.
Now, more junkie nuggets.
When dropping back, DiPrescott has used play action at 18.6 percent.
Okay.
And another junkie nugget for this game is Justin Fields has thrown outside the numbers
at 53.2 percent completing 42 out of 58 passes for 449 yards and one touchdown.
Now, when we look at this, you know, Justin Fields, you know, continue, you know, is continuing
on this journey of proving himself to be a starting caliber quarterback.
Okay.
Because, you know, it feels like, you know, they're trying to give Russell Wilson a chance
to, you know, try to at least be the backup, but, you know, from, from the videos, from
the practice footage that I've seen, he doesn't look like he can move.
He doesn't look like he can do anything.
And granted, I understand, you know, that this was a very preventable injury.
You know, I don't understand why they would have him to move a sled up a hill.
That was, you know, definitely a dumb thing to do because I know for dad on shore, they
wouldn't have, you know, asked Ben to do it, but that's another story for another day.
But you know, he just, he, Russell Wilson, just, he does not look good.
He does not.
He doesn't look like he's able to do play action, roll out.
He's not, he doesn't look, he doesn't look like he can do anything.
He looks like, if you put him on the field, if a defender tackles him one good time, he's
done.
That's how Russell Wilson looks like.
So, you know, hopefully, hopefully the Steelers come, come out of this game, you know, guns
blazing.
And they're not saying they have to put up 30, 40, 50, 60 points or not saying that,
but you have to put points on the board.
Okay.
You cannot give this Cowboys offense or defense a chance to, you know, to, to get a rhythm.
You cannot stop the run, put pressure on that press.
Scott, be physical, play ball.
That's it.
That's all you have to do.
You do that and we win the game.
Right.
Now, moving on to college football, because we know we all love college football.
Okay.
Miami versus Cow.
Yes.
Miami versus Cow.
So this is the first matchup since 08.
08.
I don't even know how that wasn't 08.
8, 9, 10.
I don't know.
Don't even matter.
Forget about it.
Kim Ward is coming off of a 38, 34 victory over Virginia Tech.
Okay.
He was 24 for 38, 343 yards, 60, a 63.2 completion percentage and averaged nine yards per pass
attempt, four touchdowns, two, two picks and a QBR of 89.4.
Now I know this was another play.
I know there was another player that I was forgetting.
Cam Ward.
Cam Ward has definitely been doing his thing.
Cam Ward has definitely caught my attention and I'm probably going to be starting to look
at more, more footage of Cam Ward because, you know, he's a really good quarterback.
He's a really, really, really, really good quarterback.
I thought, you know, I was definitely, I did not know your talents, brother.
I did not.
He's doing his thing.
He's balling out.
Miami is doing their thing.
Like the Miami of old are being dominant, you know, on both sides of the ball.
And you know, if they continue on this streak, I do think it's going to come down to, like
I said again, Chador, Travis Hunter, Travis Hunter, Cam Ward and the running back from
Boise State.
I think it's going to come down to those four.
I don't think it's going to be anybody else.
And you heard it here first on the football junkies podcast.
Now, when we look at the Cal quarterback, Fernando Mendoza, he's coming off of a 14-9
loss from FSU where he was 22 for 36, 303 yards.
A 61.1 completion percentage averaged 8.4 yards per pass attempt, one pick in a QBR 56.3.
Now, this is what I would say about Cal.
Cal is in a place where, you know, they're coming off the loss.
You're going up against a team that's hot, hot, hot, hot.
And they've been undefeated.
So you already know that the margin of error is going to be very small.
You know that this is probably going to be a very emotional game for Miami.
And you already know what you're walking into.
Okay.
So try to minimize the errors, try to, you know, be effective with the passing game as
well as the running game.
And you know, try to put points on the board.
Do not try to turn this into a shootout because I'm telling you, you try to turn this into
a shootout with Miami.
You are going to lose.
You're going to lose.
Cam Ward can attack you, you know, in the air as well as with his legs.
He can do both.
And you know, that offense, they're, they're moving.
They're moving and grooving.
They're putting points on the board.
They're knocking teams, you know, left and right.
Okay.
Now, going on to the Georgia and Auburn game.
Wow.
It's only 30 minutes.
Oh yeah.
Cool.
I told you guys, I was going to keep this very light.
This game is somewhat of redemption game for both teams, right?
And the reason why I say that is because both teams come off of somewhat of a major loss,
you know, recently, right?
Georgia lost to Alabama in that dynamic game last Saturday and then Auburn, you know, doing
Auburn things.
Okay.
So, you know, a lot of there, there's a lot is riding on this game as well.
Okay.
You know, both teams want to get back into the winning column.
They want to try to, you know, rebound from their last loss.
They want to, you know, just, you know, get that out of their mind or whatnot and just
try to get one, just try to get a W. So, you know, when we look at this, you know, Carson
Beck was coming off a performance where he was 27 for 50, 439 yards, a 54 completion
percentage, 8.8 yards per pass attempt, three touchdowns, three picks.
Okay.
Now, when we look at Peyton Thorn, okay, Peyton Thorn was coming off of a 20.
He was coming off of a game where he was 21 for 32, 338 yards, 65.6 completion percentage,
10.6 yards per pass attempt, three touchdowns, one interception.
Auburn is still, it's still the team that people have to worry about.
Okay.
They may, they may not have, you know, five star prospects on both sides of the ball and
you know, they may not have the most notable people, but just know Auburn can do some things.
Okay.
And still they can still go, go toe to toe with the best of them.
So I just want to see how both quarterbacks are going to respond coming off of, you know,
their losses.
Are they going to come out here gun swinging?
Are they going to try to play very, you know, mild tempered or are they just going to leave
it all on the field?
Right.
Because Carson Beck, you know, by a lot of people's standards, it's supposed to be one
of the people that's going to be in the, in the Heisman finalists.
I just don't see it personally, but you know, we all know crazy things can happen.
Now for Colorado versus Kansas state.
Okay.
Oh man.
Let's see what Dion can do.
Okay.
Chador Sanders is coming off of a 48 21 stomp out against UCF.
Okay.
Chador was 28 for 35, 290 yards at 80 completion percentage, three touchdowns, one pick in a
QBR of 89.1.
Avery Johnson was coming off of a 42 20 victory over Oklahoma state where he was 19 for 31,
259 yards, a 61.3 completion percentage, 8.4 yards per pass attempt, three touchdowns,
one pick in a 92.6 QBR.
Now when we look at this, you know, Kansas state has definitely been doing their thing.
Avery Johnson has definitely be, has definitely caught my attention.
You know, I've, I've, I've looked a little bit of at some Kansas state games and you
know, he, he's doing his thing.
Now I'm not saying he's, you know, a Heisman finalist or, you know, he's going to be a
first round pick or anything like that.
But you know, he's been doing his thing.
He's definitely been doing his thing.
Kansas state, you know, in the last few years have definitely started to, you know, cut,
you know, catch, catch my attention.
I don't know why, but it's just something about that offense is just like, it's not
the best, it's not the worst, but they get it done.
I don't know what it is, but they get it done.
Now the question is for Kansas state, you know, will that defense be able to stop, you
know, that red hot Colorado offense?
Because Shadori is still doing his thing.
You still have to worry about Travis Hunter on both sides of the ball, as well as those
other receivers who in my mind, a lot of those receivers are NFL caliber receivers.
Now I'm not saying all of them will be, you know, gone in the first round, but I do believe,
you know, people like Jimmy Horn will definitely be taken in the late first round, maybe early
second round, depending on how he does in the rest of the season and his combined numbers.
And even Travis Hunter, you know, I do believe that, you know, this offense is very capable
of continuing to put up some serious numbers.
I think people still doubt on Dion in his coaching style.
I still think people still sleep on Colorado as a whole.
And I think, you know, Colorado has to have to come into this game with that chip on their
shoulder.
You know, you can't come in here all relaxed and one not just because you guys have been
winning.
No, you got to keep on going.
You got to, you got to come into this game like you've been on the three game losing
streak.
Okay.
That's what they have to do.
Now that defense for Colorado, I'll have a lot to say about it because why Travis Hunter
is going to do Travis Hunter things.
Anybody else just fall into place, do your thing, you know, make the make the right assignments
and just win.
Just win.
That's all they have to do.
