Welcome into season four, episode 29 of the Justin Time Sports Podcast. 14 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:58,960 I am your owner and host, Justin Jackson, and we are going to cover the NBA today. We are going to 15 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:07,040 have the NFL. We are going to touch on those main two sports today. Of course, Major League Baseball 16 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:15,440 Playoffs also happening as well. So a lot of big things happening in the sports world. The WNBA 17 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:20,720 has their finals going on as well. Congratulations to the Los Angeles Aces for taking game one. 18 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,960 Game two being when the podcast comes out. It'll be Wednesday morning. So game two being tonight 19 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:32,080 with the Vegas looking to take a commanding 2-0 lead over the Liberty. And of course, the NBA 20 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:37,360 preseason has ramped up. We'll discuss that a little later. But in this topic, we're going to 21 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:45,600 discuss NFL Week 5, which just wrapped up a couple of days ago. We learn a lot of different things 22 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,760 in NFL Week 5. Obviously, we're not going to touch on every game, but we'll jump into some of the 23 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:56,080 things. The first thing I want to discuss is the San Francisco 49ers. They are separated from 24 00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,120 the rest of the league. I don't just mean the rest of the division. I don't mean the rest of the 25 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,920 conference. I know Philly is also undefeated in the NFC as well. I mean the rest of the league. 26 00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:12,720 The San Francisco 49ers are a different animal. Now, I'm going to take this in multiple parts. 27 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,440 Two main parts specifically. Part one on your left hand side is going to be the Rock Pretty Angle. 28 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:25,440 Part two on your right hand side is going to be the Niners as an organization. Let's start off with 29 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:32,320 the Niners as an organization. Kyle Shanahan, head coach Kyle Shanahan, GM John Lynch, the York 30 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,760 family, I believe is an ownership group. They have separated themselves as an organization. 31 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:47,040 Not only just as a head coach, because I don't think Kyle Shanahan is the best head coach. I 32 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:52,960 don't think John Lynch is the best GM. I don't even think the York family is the best ownership group. 33 00:03:54,640 --> 00:04:01,200 But as a trio, no one can boast anything better. Kyle Shanahan is undeniably a top four head coach, 34 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,480 five head coach. John Lynch at this point is an undeniable top five GM. I think York's top five 35 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:14,240 ownership group. He don't get better than top five everything. And so they have separated themselves 36 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,960 from an organization from the standpoint. They have nailed on many draft picks. Obviously the big 37 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:25,520 glaring one is Trey Lance. If Brock Purdy isn't as good as he is, Trey Lance may tank the organization 38 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:30,240 for years to come. But to make up for it with Brock Purdy, which we'll get to about in a second. 39 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:38,880 Look at how well this team was not only drafted, but kept their infrastructure in place for the 40 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,920 most part. Yes, they lose Robert Sala eventually to be the head coach of the New York Jets. Yes, 41 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:50,160 they lose D'Amico Ryan to be head coach of the Houston Texans. I believe they lose off as 42 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,160 coordinator at some point as well. Does that make McDaniel? Yes, McDaniel ends up leaving 43 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,160 to be the head coach of the Dolphins. Okay, so they lose coordinator infrastructure. 44 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,520 But I'm thinking about their players. They have the highest paid left tackle Trent Williams. 45 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:09,520 They have the highest paid linebacker. Inside linebacker Fred Warner. They have the highest 46 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,160 paid running back Christian McCaffrey. They have the highest paid fullback in use check. 47 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,760 They have one of the higher paid receiver units in the league as well. 48 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,360 But here's the thing about that. Christian McCaffrey was a trade. Trent Williams was a trade. 49 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,080 Fred Warner's draft pick. That defensive line Nick Bost is the highest paid defensive end. 50 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,520 That's a draft pick. Most of that defensive line is draft picks. Most of the secondary is draft 51 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:48,400 picks. Fred Warner is a draft pick. You look at a lot of these different talent levels on that team. 52 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,840 They're draft picks. As I said, Christian McCaffrey is not a draft pick. He's a trade. 53 00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:57,760 So is Trent Williams. But most of the other talent on that team, especially the elite talent, 54 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,840 you think of when you think of the Hufungas, when you think of the Bosa's, when you think of the 55 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:08,640 Fred Warner's, when you think of the Brock Purdy's, when you think of that defensive line, 56 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:14,640 when you think of those corners, you think of homegrown talent that was drafted by Shanahan 57 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:22,240 and Lynch with the backing of York, of course. And so that is an amazing job of roster assembling 58 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:32,080 from top to bottom. But they're helped out. And this is kind of the perfect storm of opportunity 59 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:38,720 for the 49ers. They have a starting quarterback. And right now I can't necessarily deny that Brock 60 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:45,280 Purdy is a top 10 quarterback. Or he's playing like one right now. They helped out by the fact 61 00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:50,320 that he makes 800 grand. Brock Purdy still shares an apartment with someone. He's a 62 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:55,600 camera, I believe. It was a whole story about it. I know he shares an apartment for sure, 63 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:03,440 but I think he drives a camera. Brock Purdy's salary is 800 grand a year. Now, I haven't exactly 64 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,960 done the taxes. I haven't done his take home. But I'm going to guess it's less than 400. He lives 65 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:18,560 in California. He has jock taxes and all the other stuff. I'm going to assume that he's going to 66 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:28,400 make less than $400,000. I'm going to assume he takes home less than $400,000. Now, you're probably 67 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:36,880 excusing me for the sniffle. You have it in your head. Man, I'd kill to make $400,000. But you guys 68 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:49,600 know that he's in San Francisco. He's in a different area of existence. He's in Silicon Valley 69 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:55,120 adjacent. Brock Purdy is making $800,000. He's still sharing an apartment with a roommate. 70 00:07:55,120 --> 00:08:02,800 I think he drives a camera, et cetera. It's a dual edged sword. Brock Purdy at Iowa State, 71 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,960 first of all, did not look like this Brock Purdy. I said it a lot last year. I'm waiting on Brock 72 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,880 Purdy to turn back into Brock Purdy because people are pulling up his Iowa State low lights. That's 73 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:17,280 not the same quarterback. I think he's going under a really good development under Kyle Shanahan. 74 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:29,760 He's accurate. He's athletic enough. He's a leader, appears to be a winner in the NFL. 75 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,520 Kyle Shanahan, he definitely was a plus for Iowa State. Iowa State, I think wins one up four or 76 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:40,720 five. He was an eight win quarterback, nine win quarterback a year at Iowa State. I know that 77 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:46,080 they won six games since he left. If they have, it's been very under the radar. He's obviously a 78 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:58,640 plus player. But my thing is he went in the seventh round for a reason. Brady's the end of the sixth 79 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,200 round. I got you. But we're going to discuss Tom Brady a little later. But Purdy went in the 80 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:09,280 seventh round for a reason. As much quarterback looking and developing and people who just, 81 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:15,840 their whole job is to find who's the next best quarterback. The fact that everybody would let 82 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,720 him go and the 49ers grabbed him as Mr. Irrelevant, the last pick of the draft. 83 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,160 And now he's the starting quarterback. He's never lost a start in the NFL. I think he's 84 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,840 10 and 0 or something like that. The Niners have won 13 straight regular season games. 85 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,160 In a game, Purdy has started and finished. He's never lost it. 86 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,720 It helps to have all those things I just talked about. The best left tackle, the highest paid 87 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,480 left tackle, the highest paid defensive end, the highest paid runner back, the highest paid receiver 88 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:52,480 rule, one of the highest paid tight ends, the highest paid fullback, the highest paid linebacker, 89 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:58,640 one of the most expensive DBS because he's only making 800 grand a year. So in a sport, 90 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:06,000 let's say the salary cap is 200, there's $199.2 million to spend on everybody else because the 91 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:12,880 most important position on the field is making 800 grand. Absolutely humongous bargain. And I 92 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,560 think the 49ers have to win before he gets a contract extension because if Purdy keeps on 93 00:10:16,560 --> 00:10:25,840 this pace, let's say he wins 10 or 11 games a year. Let's say he's a 12-win quarterback for the 94 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:31,040 next three years. I don't see them. Let's say he rips off an initial title run, whatever. 95 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,160 But let's say he doesn't win the big one. It's hard to win that Super Bowl. Let's say he just 96 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,360 doesn't close and win the big one. He goes to the table. He goes, look, I'm 13 wins a year. I've 97 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,880 been in two in each title games. I've been in the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, we lost it. 98 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:49,040 You know, I think I deserve to be one of the highest paid quarterbacks. And he goes for, 99 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:57,280 at that point, maybe six years, 320. Because he's never been paid. So he's going to go all for the 100 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:03,920 big dollars fast. Six years, 320, 240 guarantees. Something, you know, a big contract. You can no 101 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:09,600 longer have the highest paid left tackle running back inside linebacker D-line in the league. Now 102 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,800 Purdy's going to have to make up for gaps because at the moment he doesn't make up for anything. 103 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,200 Anything he could possibly be deficient at, we haven't seen it because it's been covered up by 104 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,720 so much league talent. I mean, there's a play floating around with Fred Warner where he does 105 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:27,840 four different jobs in one play. You know, it's just like, when you've got that buzzing around 106 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:37,760 at all times, you know, that's hard to do. It's hard to, it's hard to start to mess that up with 107 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,000 if you've got any kind of level of talent. He's in the best situation of quarterbacks. He's 108 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,240 the best situation quarterback to be in. He's not expected anything because he's a seven pound pick. 109 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,240 He's got all the talent surrounding him in the world and he can actually play a little bit. 110 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:56,080 I just don't think he's as good as what his numbers or his tape right now is showing. 111 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:04,480 But on the flip side of that, you guys know I've, I've talked to you guys about it before. 112 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:11,600 I'm a Patriots fan. I said that that's probably going to be the one team. Bias goes out the window 113 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:19,680 in terms of just, it is what it is. I'm biased, you know. 114 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:27,920 I thought you guys, bias goes completely out of the window. It is what it is. I'm biased and I'm 115 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:39,840 going to paint my picture of the Patriots through a fan's perspective because I'm biased, right, for the most part. 116 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:49,840 The New England Patriots objectively are a disaster. 117 00:12:49,840 --> 00:13:04,080 And I wanted to try and figure out what exactly the plan was. They're bad and I wanted to juxtapose 118 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:09,520 the Niners to the Patriots in this way to kind of, you know, be like, hey, I just spoke about how 119 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:14,000 the best or the highest paid left tackle, the highest paid running back, one of the high paid 120 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:20,240 receiver rooms, the highest paid or one of the highest paid tight end rooms, the highest paid D-line room, 121 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:26,720 one of the high paid DB rooms, all exists with elite talent because I can say, I can make a case 122 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,600 Christian McCaffrey is the best running back in the league right now. I do believe Fred Warner is the 123 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:36,720 best inside linebacker for ball right now. I believe Trenton DeWilliams is the best tackle in football right now. 124 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:43,520 I can tell you that that 49er receiver group right up there with the Bengals and Bengals, Bills, 125 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:51,360 Eagles, one of the best team rooms in football. That's the best D-line in football in San Fran. 126 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:58,000 They're elite paid, highly paid with elite talent. The New England Patriots has the exact opposite 127 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,840 problem. They're highly paid with no talent. Mack Jones is a bust. The Patriots are the best. 128 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:14,320 I didn't like Mack Jones going into that draft. If you guys go back and listen to my podcast when I 129 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,720 did a breakdown, a deep-depth breakdown of that draft class, I did the quarterbacks. I didn't like 130 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:26,000 Mack Jones then. I kind of got it fooled a little bit as Rekia, kind of fell for him a little bit. 131 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:33,520 Matt Patricia did, I think, irreparable harm to the development of Mack Jones. So any hope he was 132 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:45,440 going to have, the Matt Patricia, Joe Judge thing killed it, in my opinion. So any hope that he might 133 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:52,000 have had to develop into a better player, into a legitimate NFL starter, I think was killed 134 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:59,680 by Matt Patricia and Joe Judge being his all-forsakenly quarterback coach. I just think 135 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:04,320 that was absolutely murder because now Mack Jones is throwing. He's fading away on all his throws. 136 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,280 He's not stepping into anything. Everything's coming out like pop flies. It looks predetermined. 137 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:16,800 I mean, it's just not good football right now from Mack Jones. At the same time, he has a receiving 138 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:22,080 corps that has the least separation in the league. Ramondre Stevenson, like a shell of himself, 139 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,440 because Zeke, who also looks like a shell of himself, is playing better than Ramondre Stevenson. 140 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,040 The offensive line, which already wasn't that good, has had suffered injuries all across it, 141 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:34,000 it feels like. Bad personal decisions, haunting up the, hitting up Tavelochek. 142 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,160 Judith Smith-Streusdell was an absolute waste of a signing, especially when she signed Jacobi 143 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,440 Myers, especially when Jacobi Myers went to Vegas for basically the same contract. 144 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:49,680 It's just, there was poor decisions all the way around. I think it was a cluster bomb of poor 145 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:55,840 decisions all the way around. I think it was a cluster bomb of poor decisions. Now, positives. 146 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:00,160 New England does have a hundred million dollars of cash space going into next off season. That's a 147 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:06,400 positive. That's a major positive. Like, that's a big enough positive where you can almost justify 148 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:12,240 having such a bad roster because you can turn it over in a couple of months. Pay big for a couple 149 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,120 of talents. Trade for big salaries. You could turn your roster over in a couple of months. 150 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:23,040 So maybe that's ultimately the plan. I don't know. But it seems like I always speak about the saints 151 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:29,920 not doing this, which would just be bad for you. It'd just be awful. Reset your cap table, be bad 152 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,360 for a year. Reset your cap table, get a high drive pick, start your franchise on a high drive pick, 153 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:43,520 and then buy talent everywhere else. You have the opportunity to do it. And so I think Belatec 154 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:50,560 ultimately could be doing that. Just be a bad for a year. Get a high drive pick, get a J.J. McCarthy, 155 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:57,680 a J.D. or a Shador, a Sanders, or a Drake May. And then just completely reset your cap table 156 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:04,800 with the use of void years and et cetera. Just reset your cap table and go into off season with 157 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,760 a hundred thirty, a hundred forty million dollars. Buy the best players you can in pregnancy. Trade 158 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,560 for big silers. Build around your young stud, whether that be a young stud at lineback, a young 159 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:20,080 stud at quarterback, whatever. Build around your young stud. And so I think Belatec's doing that 160 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:26,240 because his roster is just not talented. I mean, it's just not good enough. No matter what you can 161 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:32,320 paint it, it's just honestly not good enough. But I want to talk about a narrative. And to me, 162 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:38,800 it's a lazy narrative surrounding the Patriots. And of course, with Belatec struggling, Tom Brady 163 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:44,080 retired and having one of the Suba without him, people are asking the questions. I think first 164 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:50,960 take at this is Belatec just another coach without Brady. And you hear just another coach. What does 165 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:58,160 that mean? Like in the average coach, like a Jag, just a guy, like, you know, nothing special about 166 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:07,760 him. He didn't have Brady. And I want to debunk some of those things. Yeah, like Shannon Sharpe 167 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:14,240 saying, Oh, man, I apologize to Brady. He was the biggest erasure in sports. He took those untalented 168 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:25,920 rosters that, um, to those untalented rosters that Belatec put around him. He won. He won anyway. He 169 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:32,880 raised this and he was able to turn this person to this and this person to that. Whatever Belatec 170 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:38,880 gave him, he took and made it better. He was like Belatec's wife, you know what I'm talking about. 171 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:43,680 If you give something to your wife, she'll flip it, multiply it and give it back to you. Um, 172 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:52,640 but there's a couple of things that I want to talk about in this new English situation. 173 00:18:53,360 --> 00:18:59,760 It's Brady versus Belatec war. First thing, um, where I spoke about the lack of talent, 174 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:05,920 the AFC East has gotten a lot better. People also can remember that Tom Brady played bad 175 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,880 towards the end of his Patriots career. The defensive ability amount a lot and he ends up 176 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,280 jumping ship and joining a super team in Tampa. And the minute that team was no longer a super team, 177 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:25,920 they went to the tank as well. But people don't forget that in 2008, Brady tears his ACL and 178 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:31,360 creates the Brady rule. Just plays it goes low, hit him, don't play it, rather play it goes low, 179 00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:35,440 hits him in the knee. He tears his ACL. Then that becomes the Brady rule. Can't have the 180 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:42,640 quarterback below the knee. Okay. Matt Castle starts 15 and a half games for the new England 181 00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:49,760 Pages. In that year, again, without Tom Brady, they were first and first downs, first 10% of 182 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:57,280 the drive ending in a score, 14 points per drive, 15 yards per drive. Um, and they actually scored 183 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:06,160 more points in 08 than they did in 09. That because Belatec, who many people are trying to 184 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:14,400 discredit over the past 72 hours, built those rosters to be able to play with or without Brady. 185 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,600 The issue is that Belatec is having issue with roster construction these days. That is not 186 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:26,880 degrading or demeaning or reducing the amount of credit he rightfully deserves in the dynasty. 187 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,360 Because guess what? He picked Brady. He trusted Brady in that Super Bowl. He didn't go back to 188 00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:35,680 Brady even with blood so it was healthy. Um, he didn't take a knee when John Mann was saying to 189 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:42,560 do so and Brady's for a Super Bowl win. Um, he also protected Brady with top five defenses. 190 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:49,040 Most days Koreans, they weren't top five, they were top 10. So we're not going to pretend 191 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:55,840 like 75% of the credit, 80% of the credit goes to Brady. Cause if we do it without you, um, 192 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:02,880 comparison, Brady without Belatec has one Super Bowl. Belatec without Brady has at least two 193 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:10,560 SDC of the Giants. Um, so good in fact that his game plan is in the Hall of Fame. Um, and so 194 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:18,080 I'm tired of the lazy narrative or the lazy comparison of Brady versus Belatec. 195 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:23,600 It was both of them. I think Belatec, Iverson Morgan, he picked Brady. Um, he allowed Brady to 196 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:29,840 stick around and, um, he did the negotiating with Brady on the contract and Belatec put the roster 197 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,400 together and all this stuff. Now there are people out there that are offering a pretty decent points 198 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,960 of saying that Belatec should be stripped of GM duties because his roster is completely negligent 199 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,040 and that, you know, Stephen Ape pose that Robert Kraft ought to go to him and say, 200 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:52,080 you're no longer the GM or firing you. That's a decision knocking back. But to say that Brady 201 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:57,200 gets most of the credit for a dynasty that Belatec helped not only draft, but develop, 202 00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:02,400 including Brady himself, um, is a big wow and a bit blasphemous. 203 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:10,480 Um, and touch on some injury news. Uh, Elijah very Tucker is done for the season with an injury. 204 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,600 Uh, lady Van Ash is going to is suspected to miss four to six weeks. He's a candidate for IR 205 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:21,120 with the cowboys due to a neck injury. James Connor is going on IR for the Arizona Cardinals 206 00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:26,480 due to a knee injury. Justin Jefferson also heading to injury reserve, uh, due to a hamstring 207 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:33,440 injury. He suffered just last week and David Devine, uh, a cane, uh, is an IR candidate for 208 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:38,480 the Miami dolphins because he has an injury as well. And he is going to see K second opinion on 209 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:43,360 it before deciding his best course of action. Oh, but now the last thing I want to talk about 210 00:22:43,360 --> 00:22:48,640 for week five is that, uh, the Prince that was promised, uh, Trevor Lawrence defeated Josh Allen 211 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:53,360 and Josh Allen continues his roller coaster of play as bad as Dallas with Dak Prescott. Cause 212 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,360 boy, that was awful. Um, we'll discuss that a little later. Uh, but the Prince that was 213 00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:05,520 promised defeated Josh Allen, um, in a game where both quarterbacks didn't necessarily play elite, 214 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:10,800 but Trevor Lawrence did what Trevor Lawrence tends to do. Just find a way to make it work. 215 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:16,960 Find a way to play well. Uh, probably play decent at least Josh Allen to me, uh, just didn't do 216 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,120 enough to win the game. Obviously he just didn't do enough to inspire his team. Him and Stefan 217 00:23:21,120 --> 00:23:26,160 digs beef seem to be growing larger and larger and larger. Um, and so that's something that's 218 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,840 going to keep our eye on to see if digs finally asked out, uh, in the off season. 219 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,840 But up next, we're going to shift our NFL week six and talk about what's going down there. 220 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:16,480 Welcome back into the show. And now we're going to jump into NFL week six, but with, uh, of course, 221 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:22,000 it's some more injury news for what's going on. We'll touch on a couple of games, some kind of big 222 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,960 game this weekend, and we'll have a little bit of other news as well. We're going to start off with 223 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:33,200 a beef though. So as you know, the Niners dog walked the Dallas Cowboys cost me a fantasy game. 224 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:39,920 I was down six. So the only thing he had left was his defense. And he won by 10 because Dallas 225 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:48,560 decided to have four turnovers in that game and not do anything else. But anyway, so, um, George 226 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:56,400 Kittle wore a F Dallas t-shirt, uh, to the game under his pads. Michael Parsons responded saying 227 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:02,080 that if we play out again, we got something for y'all. Uh, Debo Samuels, Michael Parsons saying 228 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:10,320 y'all don't want to play us again. Um, in this beef, I'm on the Niners side. The Niners have 229 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:16,400 become the litmus test and they've been this way. Thanks to the organizational stability along with 230 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,920 their coaching staff and et cetera. They've been in this way about five years. Remember in Green Bay 231 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,480 a few years ago, Green Bay couldn't get past the Niners. That's the only team they couldn't be in 232 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,840 the playoffs. People was just saying, okay, that when they play the Niners, they're going to lose. 233 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:37,920 And they were getting smashed by the Niners. It wasn't like it was shootouts 27, 24, 34, 31, 234 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:44,960 you know, nine and victory. It would be like 40 to 10, 37 to six. I mean, it was just brutalizations 235 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:52,320 of what was at fatalities and Mortal Kombat land, like what was happening on the field. Um, and then 236 00:25:52,320 --> 00:26:01,120 of course, and Roger's yields goes to New York. Right around the end of those epic battles, um, 237 00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:07,840 Dallas swells up and our Dallas can't beat San Fran. I mean, they're punching on Dallas repeatedly. 238 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:14,000 Every time that the Cowboys play the Niners is actually, again, another one of those fatalities 239 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:19,440 like on Mortal Kombat. It is absolutely brutal. Uh, what the foot Niners do to the Cowboys, 240 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:24,800 every single time they play them. Um, and so when it comes to this, it comes to this beef, 241 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:32,800 I'm on the side of the people who've proven it, which is the 49ers as they have repeatedly, 242 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:40,800 um, beating the Cowboys down, worn them down, physically just dominated them, um, at any and 243 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:46,880 every turn. So if I'm Michael Parsons, I would do a little less chirping, a little more working, 244 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:52,560 um, and trying to figure out something to close the gap in, uh, between the Niners and the Cowboys. 245 00:26:54,480 --> 00:27:00,160 Van Jefferson has been traded to the Atlanta Falcons, uh, full trade details on Los Angeles 246 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:05,680 Rams trade. I received a van Jefferson, a 20 to 25, seven round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for 247 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:14,160 a 20, 25, six round pick. Um, I have noticed that that has been a popular trade, um, style, 248 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:22,800 I guess would be the best way I can phrase it. Um, because the Randy Gregory trade from Denver to 249 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:30,160 San Fran was similar. It was Gregory in the 20, 25, seventh to San Fran for a 20, 25, sixth. Um, 250 00:27:31,360 --> 00:27:34,960 and there was also another trade. I can't think of right now. That was done the same way player 251 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:44,400 plus future seventh, uh, for same year, sixth. Um, and so it's kind of a way, you know, there's 252 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:49,440 a populist trade style every year. So I guess that is a popular way. If you're basically skipping the 253 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:56,880 free agent market, um, you're going to give me 32 more ish picks in front of, um, jumping the line 254 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:02,640 up for the right to not have to battle this guy on waivers and or just flat out released. Um, and so 255 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,600 Van Jefferson tried to get a new start in Atlanta. Um, who's having their own issues, their own pass 256 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,600 catchers, cause I don't know what the B-fers with Kyle Pitts, but they just don't like him very much. 257 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:16,880 Although he came back a little bit last week. Um, but Van Jefferson was out of the rotation in Los 258 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:22,960 Angeles, um, Pooka Nakua is the hundred times better than anybody thought he'd be. Cooper Cupp is back 259 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,440 and of course Tutu Atwell played well in Cooper Cupp's absence. And so they kind of love Van 260 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,680 Jefferson, the out man out. Uh, he played well for them a couple of years ago, catched about 60 passes, 261 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:38,640 800 and somebody yards. Um, but it was time for him to move on. And so he is traded, uh, to the 262 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:44,880 Atlanta Falcons who's looking to add another receiver for Desmond Ritter. And then before we 263 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:51,280 get into the games, uh, the rookie quarterback update, CJ Stroud is setting records again. Uh, 264 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:56,800 he has the most past attempts without an interception to start a career in NFL history. 265 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:04,480 He passes that Prescott, um, Bryce Young, not playing bad, not playing great. Uh, he's still 266 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:09,440 looking for his first NFL win. Anthony Richardson, we'll discuss him a little later, but he is looking 267 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,320 well like Anthony Richardson. Um, so those are the big three of the quarterbacks who came out this 268 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:23,680 year. We're going to keep our eyes on them, but to go into the games of week five, six, I'm sorry, 269 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:31,040 again, same rules as always there in Jack's pack. We are not going to pick them. So, um, 270 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,360 three of these games, two of these games, the first game we're going to talk about her in Jack's pack. 271 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:44,080 So we're not going to pick them. However, we will pick the last two. So Broncos at Chiefs to start 272 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:50,320 off NFL week six, Thursday night game. This is a very interesting game and it's interesting for a 273 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:56,960 few reasons. Number one, if you haven't noticed Wilson Wilson and Patrick Mahomes have basically 274 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:02,400 the same stats. As far as raw production, they basically been the same quarterback this year. 275 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:09,520 Now the Chiefs defense is the most literally better than the Broncos defense. So I think Patrick, 276 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:14,000 well, I won't, I won't say that, but I think the Chiefs defense, the most better than the Broncos 277 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:21,440 defense. However, it's not like it's been a massive different quarterback play. Like Russell Wilson's 278 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:26,480 team has been getting obliterated so much. No one's noticing how well Russell's been playing, 279 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:31,760 but if you think Patrick Mahomes is playing really well, you got to give Russell Wilson the same 280 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,600 credence. They've been basically the same quarterback. Oh, so this would be a very 281 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,840 interesting game in terms of seeing Russell was that could continue his mojo and kind of show 282 00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:46,960 people like, yo, it ain't me. It's the rest of this team. I think the Chiefs have an opportunity 283 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:53,120 to end the Broncos season. I think the Broncos made the playoffs, if they were all right, no, 284 00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:02,720 but the locker room was beginning to splinter. There is a, from reported a division between guys 285 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:08,560 who know they're safe and guys who could be moved. I mean, when you're operating in a situation like 286 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:13,440 that, it's hard to get anything done. And then you got a real source in the middle of everything, 287 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:21,920 constantly in some sort of drama, beef, headline, et cetera. And so when you got that going on, 288 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,840 you're going against a Chiefs team that has not been playing well, been looking for a get right 289 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:31,280 game. You roll into town. It can be very interesting contest because either a lot of guys fighting for 290 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:35,920 their jobs and are trying to keep the team together or who's going to roll over on their back. 291 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:42,560 So very interesting contests. And about the AFC South, the Indianapolis Coastals are going to 292 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:49,520 Jacksonville without Anthony Richardson, as he has a grade three AC joint injury, which will sideline 293 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:56,560 him for at least a month and probably place him on injury reserve. Not good at all for Anthony 294 00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:02,160 Richardson. This is his second injury where he'll miss games in the first half of his rookie year, 295 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:07,280 because he's set off for a concussion already. Now he's probably out about a month with a sprained 296 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:15,120 AC joint and it is due to the run style that they have. It is due to the physicality aspect 297 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:21,600 of the offense that the Colts office coordinator has put in due to the limited ability of just 298 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:26,640 like being a pocket passer of Anthony Richardson. However, Jacksonville has not been smelling all 299 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:32,400 like roses lately. They came out of a win with Buffalo, but that's basically their second home 300 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:38,880 in England. How Buffalo had to travel there, trying to get used to him to fly. It's a true 301 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:44,960 road game now as the England fans have seen the Jaguars so much that they all start cheering for 302 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:51,600 the Jaguars, or for the most part cheering for the Jaguars. And so this is going to be a very 303 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:56,960 interesting game because you get the Colts who played well with Anthony Richardson the first time. 304 00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:03,440 Going up against a Jacksonville team that's kind of in a roller coaster up and down this season, 305 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:11,920 but that's going to be a very interesting contest. Patriots at Raiders, the battle of two teams, both 306 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:18,400 probably should be tanking, but just the interconnection of this game because Josh 307 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:24,000 Mead Daniels took a lot of important infrastructure people with him to go to Vegas. 308 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,920 And so you kind of see that lack of infrastructure in New England. 309 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,200 It looks like an unorganized mess and it could be because again, Josh Mead Daniels took a lot of 310 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:43,280 those people with him to Vegas. And also you've got New England scrambling, trying to figure out 311 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:48,640 what is the best way to put a good product on the field. You've got Vegas, who's trying to figure out 312 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:57,280 you know, all these guys being highly paid and they can't score. I mean, the Packers score 13 313 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:03,760 and Josh Mead Daniels still making inexcusable clock management decisions. Like when you try 314 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:09,680 to hit the field goal, they end up being a 52 yarder hit the upright. Carlson should have made the kick, I agree. 315 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:20,720 But it's fourth and one under two minutes on your 35 yard line, you're up four and you have one of 316 00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:27,440 the best running backs in football and you decide to kick a pitch to our field goal. I mean, that's 317 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:32,080 it's one of those inexcusable moments. I mean, that's what like the Madden jokes come out. 318 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:40,880 Like, I believe Nick Wright said that, you know, to be an NFL head coach, you should, you know, have a drive 319 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,720 like I think up seven with like five minutes left in the game. You have to win the game. 320 00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:50,560 If you lose the game, you can't be hired because that makes you do smart clock management and smart 321 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:57,280 clock negotiations. With your time, we do this with time-lapse and etc. Because again, 322 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:02,720 McDaniels got bailed out by honestly Jordan Love listening to his sideline and throwing a pass he 323 00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:08,880 had no business throwing. I mean, it was ultimately picked off, but the Raiders struggled as well. 324 00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,560 The pace we spoke about them, I'm not going to dive into them, but they've lost their last two games 325 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:25,200 73 ish to three. This has been 38 plus 34, was that 72? 72 ish to three. Just been an 326 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:30,880 absolute disaster in New England, which is something that I'm not used to saying as a fan of theirs. 327 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,720 But you know, that's going to be a very interesting game. I think the Patriots actually 328 00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:39,200 win it. I just think the infrastructure that exists in New England, Belotec is going to 329 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:45,040 coach circles around Jasmin Daniels situationally. Neither team is special. Actually, no, I'm going 330 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:50,160 to go to the Raiders to win the better quarterbacks in Las Vegas, the better lines in Vegas, the better 331 00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:54,640 receivers in Vegas, the better running backs in Vegas. I'm going to go to Las Vegas Raiders 332 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,960 probably to win comfortably over the New England Patriots and just continue New England's descent 333 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:07,840 into football destruction and demise. And then lastly, we're going to discuss the Dallas Cowboys 334 00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,640 at the Los Angeles Chargers, two organizations. Again, another one of those connection games. 335 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,160 This is going to be a very connected game because the offensive coordinator of the Chargers 336 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:22,640 used to be is Kellen Moore. Last season, he was the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys. 337 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:28,720 After the Dallas Cowboys failed in their ultimate mission, he, to me, got scapegoated by head coach 338 00:36:28,720 --> 00:36:34,240 Mike McCarthy into being the reason. Mike McCarthy said they're going to be more balanced and he's 339 00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:42,480 going to call them plays. And to me, he was scapegoated by Mike McCarthy. So now Dallas, 340 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:50,400 after being absolutely rammed by the 49ers, get an opportunity to go to the Chargers and try and get 341 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:58,640 some retribution. Khalil Max fresh off a six sack game, causing absolutely a lot of havoc 342 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:05,840 for different organizations, those Chargers. But on the flip side, Dallas has a staunch defense 343 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:10,320 too led by Michael Parsons, just to name one of them. Of course, when healthy, they have Trayvon 344 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:15,200 Diggs and the rest of the crew as well. But this is going to be a very interesting game. Again, 345 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:22,400 I'm going to go with the Chargers here. I just think, or not again, I'm going to go with the 346 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:28,560 Chargers here. Justin Herbert's better than, Justin Herbert's better than Dak Prescott. 347 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:33,360 Kellen Moore is better than Josh McDaniels at calling plays. I just think there's a, 348 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:39,120 not Josh McDaniels, Mike McCarthy calling plays. I think there's an underlying feel of beef because 349 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:45,840 the Jets and the Broncos last week is the fact that the Jets had to win that game from the Daniel 350 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:51,600 Hackett's career probably, and they got it done. I'm not saying it's that deep for Kellen Moore, 351 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:59,120 however, but if Dallas comes out, absolutely wipes away the offense. It could get dark for Mr. Moore 352 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:06,240 on the sideline of the game. But up next, we're going to shift into our NFL betting segment, 353 00:38:06,240 --> 00:38:09,440 Jax Pack, which took a small hit last weekend. 354 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:38,880 Welcome into the show, or back in, I should say. Welcome back into the show. 355 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:46,160 And now we're going to jump into NFL, our NFL betting segment, Jax Pack. A couple down weeks, 356 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:51,840 honestly, we were up at about 60%, which is above the professional betters level. We spoke 357 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:58,640 about it before, professional betters want to be at about 55%, 56%. If you can hit those numbers 358 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:05,520 consistently, you will be considered, or you can be a professional gambler. So for those gamblers 359 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:11,200 out there listening, if you're a 56, 57% guy or above, you can be considered a professional 360 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:15,840 gambler. You can work as a professional gambler. They make real money out of it. 361 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:22,320 However, we've had a couple of down weeks. We went two and three last week, two weeks ago, 362 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:30,800 one and four last week, which brings us under 500. We're hitting about 47% right now. But of course, 363 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:36,800 we can bring that number back up. Yeah, 48% right now. But of course, we can bring that number back 364 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,600 up with a good strong week. This week, our lock also lost last week. So with three and two in our 365 00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:46,240 locks. So we're at 60% in our locks, but we're at 48% overall. We're trying to get those numbers 366 00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:50,560 back up. I feel really good about the numbers this week. I didn't see any numbers that I picked that 367 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:56,560 I kind of was like, I guess I'll pick this. And immediately last week, I did feel that way. I 368 00:39:56,560 --> 00:40:01,040 probably wouldn't have bet in a professional situation, probably wouldn't have bet only about 369 00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:07,120 two of the numbers and I would have hit one of the two. This week, I felt good about all five. 370 00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:13,920 Didn't hate any of the picks by any means. But let's jump right into it. First game up, 371 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,240 Eagles minus seven at the Jets. Take the Eagles here. I think the Eagles are going to dominate 372 00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:24,720 this game. Not great for my fantasy scene because I have Breeze Hall starting. However, I just think 373 00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:30,160 that the Eagles are going to dominate this game because the Jets, they can play, they can come 374 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,560 down and play man covers on the Jets receivers and they're going to clog up the middle of everything 375 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:40,000 revolving around their run game for the Jets. There's no way Zach Wilson and that offensive 376 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,240 would have moved the ball much of any. I don't think Zach Wilson as teams goes more than 13 points, 377 00:40:44,240 --> 00:40:50,800 which means the Eagles have to score 21 to cover. I got the Eagles scoring at least 24, 27 points. 378 00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:55,200 I think the final score will be 24 to 10. And so if they were the Eagles, 379 00:40:55,200 --> 00:41:01,840 it means they cover the seven. Take the Eagles. Coats plus four at the Jags. Take the Colts. 380 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:10,880 They actually play to me a better professional level offense when Anthony Richardson is not in 381 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,920 the game. So I think they're going to actually, they're not going to win the game all right. I 382 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,040 think it'll be a three. I think it'd be a three point game. But if the number was three, 383 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:24,640 I would stay away from it entirely. But it being four that leaves room for maneuvering, 384 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:30,880 I think it's going to be a 24, 21 kind of game, 27, 24 kind of game where the Colts lose ultimately, 385 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:36,080 but they cover the four. Trevor Lawrence and the crew doing their up and down roller coaster this 386 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:42,880 year. So I, you know, Calvin really looks like an absolute baller. I just think that the Jags do win 387 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:49,200 the game, but they went closer than Vegas thinks. 27, 24 Jags would take the Colts plus four. 388 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:57,520 Broncos at Chiefs. Chiefs minus 10 and a half. Take the Chiefs. The Denver Broncos have the worst 389 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:04,960 defense I've seen in quite a long time. 70 points to Miami. They gave a 50 piece or felt like a 50 390 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:09,760 piece the very next week. Their defense is absolutely horrible. Justin Fields got his 391 00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:15,760 shake back on the Broncos. He had his best day as a professional. Most completions, most yards, 392 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:25,840 most touchdowns on the Broncos. And so that, and then you're going to get Patrick Mahomes in 393 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:33,120 Arrowhead. Short week to prepare for him. I think he just lost a very highly emotional game against 394 00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:41,360 the Jets. I've got the Chiefs absolutely running away and hiding from the Denver Broncos. I've got 395 00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:48,480 the Chiefs winning this game 38 to 20, which means they'll cover the minus 10 and a half that the 396 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:55,520 Chiefs need to cover. So take the Chiefs minus 10 and a half. Panthers at Dolphins. Lock of the week. 397 00:42:55,520 --> 00:43:00,320 Dolphins minus 13 and a half. Take the Dolphins. This is going to get ugly quickly. The Panthers 398 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:06,080 just don't have enough team speed, which Devon Aitken, not being there, or Aitken not being there 399 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:13,600 is going to help. But that's still Tyree Canwadal. There's just too much team speed, too much overall 400 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:19,600 brain and athleticism combination that's going on in Miami. I think, again, another one of those 401 00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:24,000 games, I think it's run away and hide. The Panthers have not won yet in the Bryce Young era. I don't 402 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:29,280 think it starts anywhere near starting this upcoming week. Again, just like the Chiefs game, 403 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:33,440 I think they run away and hide from the Broncos. I think the Dolphins run away and hide from the 404 00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:42,400 Carolina Panthers. I think they win 34 to 16. I think they run away and hide, which again will 405 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,160 cover the 13 and a half. There's a little bit of a two touchdown to cover it. It's my lock of the 406 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:53,280 week. Dolphins minus 13 and a half over the Vikings. And then Vikings at Bears. Bears plus 407 00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:57,520 two and a half. Take the Bears. I was actually surprised the Bears were the underdog here. 408 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:03,200 Minus Justin Jefferson, the Vikings offense, isn't that talented? So now Jordan Addison's 409 00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:08,240 going to have to masquerade as your number one. You still really can't run the ball. Kurt Cousins 410 00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:15,520 is either Justin Jefferson or the tight end throwing the ball. Now there's no Justin Jefferson. 411 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,120 You would assume the ball's going to spread out more. I think it ends up hitting Calvin, 412 00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:30,480 or not Calvin really. Jordan Addison or their tight end in the hands a lot. And so going on the road 413 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,800 into the soldier field, Justin Jefferson has a lot of confidence right now. He has a ton of 414 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:39,280 confidence right now. They've removed Chase Claypool out of the locker room, which apparently is a 415 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:45,840 great thing to do. And so I was shocked to see the Bears being the underdogs here, especially at home. 416 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:52,160 So I've got Bears plus two and a half over the Vikings. Just to recap through it, Eagles minus 417 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:58,080 seven at the Jets, Colts plus four over the Jags, Chiefs minus 10 and a half over the Broncos, 418 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:03,120 Dolphins minus 13 and a half over the Panthers in our Lock of the Week, and Bears plus two and a 419 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:08,720 half over the Vikings. But up next, we're going to have our Jets, Jack's hot take, which is going 420 00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:18,560 to be a take about Victor versus Chet. 421 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:48,400 Welcome back into the show. And now we're going to talk about Jack's hot take, which is going to be 422 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:53,600 based on the NBA, what we saw a couple of nights ago between Victor Wimbenyama, the number one 423 00:45:53,600 --> 00:46:00,080 overall pick for the San Antonio Spurs in this past draft, and Chet Holmgren, the number two 424 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:06,800 overall pick a couple of years ago by the Oklahoma City Thunder. Now both of them are in their rookie 425 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:14,400 year, because you guys may remember Chet Holmgren was in that infamous Seattle program game that 426 00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:19,760 started the Paolo Bencaro DeShante Mary beef out of nowhere. Chet Holmgren was in that game, or 427 00:46:20,720 --> 00:46:25,760 NA Seattle program game, it was not that one, but NA Seattle program game. LeBron James pulls up. 428 00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:31,600 LeBron hits Chet in the chest in the way to drive. Chet breaks his foot in the interaction, 429 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:37,520 misses his whole rookie year. And so he's still a rookie, his whole first year. So now he's 430 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:46,560 entering his rookie year. A pattern we see growing in the NBA. You saw Blake Griffin miss, 431 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:55,120 Joe Embiid miss, Ben Simmons miss, Justin McPhewe, Julius Randall, like what, three minutes in, 432 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:59,760 breaks something, he's out for the year. It's a growing trend with NBA players missing their 433 00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:07,120 first year and getting a second rookie year. But anyway, so Chet Holmgren recovered. He was 434 00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:11,920 fully healthy by like March, but they just held him out for his year, trained him, got him strong 435 00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:20,240 or whatever. Victor Wimbenyama, of course you guys know the 7'4 Frenchman from France, who's coming 436 00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:27,440 over to disperse for each other organization. And they went at it a couple nights ago, Monday night, 437 00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:33,040 and that wasn't a preseason game today. To most of the veterans, to most people, they'll play, 438 00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:38,800 they'll get their shots up. Not the world's hardest defense, not all-star level week by any means, but 439 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:44,000 not the world's hardest defense. They're not really fighting over screens, you know, et cetera. 440 00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,080 People are working their sets, like live practice basically. It was a little bit more intense, 441 00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:54,800 not for Chet and Victor. They were coming at each other because if you're Victor, you're the number 442 00:47:54,800 --> 00:48:01,040 one pick. You can't afford to show weakness because everyone is looking for you to have a flaw, for you 443 00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:08,560 to be weak, to dominate you. If you're Chet Holmgren, everything they said about Victor Wimbenyama 444 00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:14,080 was supposed to be yours. You were supposed to be the guy with the long 7'3 guy who's going to 445 00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:18,800 change the game defensively, who's going to knock down the threes, who had a decent handle for his 446 00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:22,960 side, who could finish the room. Like everything they're saying about Victor Wimbenyama that made 447 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:29,120 him this once in a lifetime basically can't miss prospect was supposed to be you. And so 448 00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:37,520 it was a battle of, hey, I get it. You're who you are, but I who I am. And that kind of what Chet 449 00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:41,760 Holmgren to me kind of took like, I get your Victor, I get you the number one pick, I get you're 450 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:47,040 supposed to be the special all-world, all-everything prospect, but I'm still Chet Holmgren. I could do 451 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:52,880 all those things too. For the most part, they did a lot of the same stuff. Both from blocking shots 452 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:57,440 left and right, both were recovering on defense really well. Both were knocking down threes, 453 00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:05,360 both top three off the juggle and made them. There was three plays, two plays Victor did 454 00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:15,280 Chet can't do, or hasn't shown he can do. One was Victor on Chet did a crossover, 455 00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:22,800 crossed it back over on Chet, put his head down, knocks Chet to the ground, lays the ball up 456 00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:27,280 and one, and then does the flex all on Chet. Cause again, it wasn't a preseason game to them. 457 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:34,800 And another play was Victor again juggles down the lane, Chet puts the hand up, Victor crosses 458 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:42,160 Chet's body and ends up in a scoop left hand layup around Chet off the glass in the bucket. 459 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:48,720 Two absolute, one was a bully ball play, one was a beautiful move that Chet hasn't shown he can do. 460 00:49:48,720 --> 00:49:54,000 But besides breaking down the game, my high take is that that's the new Larry versus Magic. 461 00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:58,960 That was the future of the NBA, ladies and gentlemen. The future of the NBA is seven foot three. 462 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:06,960 That's who's going to decide the NBA. You're going to have to go through either Paolo, 463 00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:11,840 not Paolo, either Victor or Chet for the next 12 years barring injury. 464 00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:17,040 I love what I'm seeing out of Zion Williams. He's healthy. He's going to start a season 465 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:23,920 healthy for the first time and maybe his career. I think year two, he technically was healthy 466 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:29,760 entering the season. You know, and people thought it was going to be him and Ja was going to have 467 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:34,160 the strength of a whole world man, and he ain't got to go through one of them. I think it's Victor 468 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:38,480 and Chet. I think in two years, you're going to have to go through one of them to get where you 469 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:43,200 want to go. Now, obviously that means one of them has to be in the finals because they're both in 470 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:49,440 the West. But I think for sure in the West, you're going to have to go through Victor, Chet or both 471 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:54,640 to get where you want to go. I think it's going to be a stretch in the not so distant future where 472 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,880 five, where the five year stretch will four years, either Chet or Victor's in the finals. 473 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:05,680 Like it is going to be, you're going to have to go through one of them to a title, especially in 474 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:11,360 the West. You're going to go through one of them to get into the NBA finals. And so I think that's 475 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:17,360 going to be very interesting to watch that happen. I think they're going to put a stranglehold on the 476 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:27,040 West to the point where one of them end up going East. And you know, sort of like Kobe and Duncan 477 00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:40,880 where from 99 to 2014, you know, Kobe's in the finals seven of those years, Duncan's in the 478 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:47,120 finals seven of those years. So there's one year one of them is it or something, you know, it's an 479 00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:54,880 Atlantic dark sneaks a couple of finals appearances in there, but from 99 to 2014, that's 15 years. 480 00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:06,960 Kobe has five, Duncan has five, Kobe loses two finals, Duncan loses two finals. So that means 481 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:15,120 14 of the 16 seasons in the West. I mean, Oklahoma City sneaks a year in there. 482 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:17,680 I think it was gets sent there at the West. 483 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:28,240 Donald Dirk gets to in there, gets to appearances in there. OKC sneaks in the parents in there 484 00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:38,080 is before Golden State starts. So, yeah, because three Pete, Kobe goes four years and then Duncan 485 00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:43,600 starts winning. And then Dirk sneaks in the parents in there and then Duncan's in there a lot. 486 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:52,480 Kobe starts sprinkling back in. Oklahoma City gets one. Then Dirk and yeah, so out of 16, 17 years, 487 00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:59,760 Duncan and Kobe is in is representing the West in the finals 14 of those years. I think it's going 488 00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:07,520 to be it won't be as dominant as that, but Chet and Victor to me are going to it's going to be a 12 489 00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:11,520 year stretch. One of them in the finals, nine years, you know, and they walk away with three 490 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:17,680 rings of pieces, something like that, you know, is they're going to dominate the Western Conference 491 00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:21,920 because they're going to come up, they're going to rise when Yoko is going to come on the wrong 492 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:28,640 side of the hill and they're going to both rise up. And so it's just going to be a show to watch 493 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:37,840 those two. I'm hoping for their health because I want to see them healthy. Go at it for, like I said, 494 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:47,280 10, 12 years. Just go at it with no regards to anything. Just play basketball and go at each other 495 00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:57,200 because that was a show on Monday night. But that is all I have for you today. I hope you guys enjoyed 496 00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:01,680 it. I hope you guys had a great, I hope you had the rest of your week. I hope you guys enjoy your 497 00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:17,680 hump day starting out with me. But this is your owner and host, Justin Jackson signing out. 498 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:35,680 Thank you.
