All right, what's going on, everyone? Happy Monday night edition of On QRIC Canyunas here. I don't know what just happened before when we were trying to fire off. So I greatly apologize for that. I know we were firing off on a couple different platforms. So if you're on the YouTube channel right now, you should definitely be able to see that we did fire off indeed. We wanted to go on X on a couple other different platforms, but for some reason software got a little uh goofy, uh, but it is what it is. We're just trying to bang out about 25 or so minutes of the NFL talk. I wanted to get into a couple things, get in early off. And uh I know we were supposed to go at nine, but like I said, we couldn't jump on those platforms, so we wanted to get in early. You had the breaking news today in the NFL. Deshaun Watson named week one starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. We will dissect that. There are a boatload of injuries going on right now in the NFL that I think are really going to cause havoc for a couple teams, especially teams with first-year head coaches. And oh, by the way, young quarterbacks, you got some reports coming out down in Atlanta that they might cut to a. And then you had the nonsense going on today with York and the 49ers, which is just absolutely the bizarre story of the day. 49ers owner Jed York arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution. The Watson story, I want to start because this is something that Lloyd Vance and I have talked about during the week. Uh, this is something that will also kind of curtail the way you look at the Browns from an odd standpoint, a player prop standpoint, projected stats standpoint. They had no other choice. The Browns had no choice but to start Deshaun Watson. At least see if you can get something, a little return on your investment because of that contract. And I think that's where some people kind of they drop the ball here when you're talking about it. So you're talking 200, 250 something on a million dollars. He hasn't been the quarterback that he was. He's never going to be that quarterback again. But you have to, as an organization, see if you're going to get any type of uh return on the investment. I think it's one of the reasons he's going to get that week one start. I don't think he's a very good quarterback right now, but you also have to factor in this. You've got a rookie head coach in Todd Munkin, who leaves Baltimore and now he takes on Cleveland. He's at the helm. You're talking AFC North rivals. You're talking about a franchise that's had issues over the past when it comes to quarterbacks and quarterback controversy. And quite frankly, I'm not really high on Shador Sanders. So if you start with Deshaun Watson and you give him some wiggle room, and let's just say, again, argument's sake, he's out there and they're playing competitive football. Well, you're at least trying to get something a little bit back on your return on your investment. They're not going to be a very good football team. I don't like to use the word tanking. I mean, it's not like they start the season off with soft games. They've got Jacksonville and Tampa on the road. So you got two games in Florida to start. Jacksonville, Tampa, you got Carolina playoff team, you got Pittsburgh playoff team, you got a bad Jets team. I think they'll give him four to five games. And then if it doesn't work out, then you go to uh Shador Sanders. Now, look, I watched that game the other day. Shador looked comfortable in the pocket. He had one throw a little behind the wide receiver that turned into a tip ball, but that's what you look for. And I'm not going to suggest that Watson blew anyone away. And the fact that Deshaun Watson said what he said over the weekend should probably piss off a lot of Cleveland Browns fans. It really should, because he's basically calling out the fans for him getting hurt. No, the fans boo because you're not a good quarterback. So then he walks it back and he backtracks because that's the only thing that Deshaun Watson could do at this point of his career. And he quote, apologizes. Mary K. Cabot, who covers a team, sits there and called it a genuine apology. It wasn't. It was a crock. I mean, it really was. He took a shot at the fan base. He took a shot at people that are paying his guaranteed salary. He took a shot really at the origination of the franchise because you're taking a shot at the city and the community. So it all goes hand in hand. So, Watson, to me, you've got four, five, six, maybe seven games to prove to show that you still belong in the NFL. You still belong in the NFL. And if you can't get it done then, then I got news for you. You're in trouble. You might as well be looking for another line of work. Really? Because he's not the quarterback he once was with the Texans, nor is he ever going to be that guy. You need a serviceable quarterback right now in a team that's in flux under a first-year head coach in Todd Munkin. So the last thing you need is a veteran quarterback running his mouth like Deshaun Watson is running his mouth. I can tell you this, his projected stats are absolutely abysmal. They're absolutely abysmal. They're looking at 2,500 yards, 18 to 20 touchdowns. That's just garbage. So the Browns are going to have a boatload of issues this year. You know it and I know it. Their schedule's not favorable. Watson can't play anymore. It'll be a matter of time before they go to Shador Sanders. And quite frankly, he's not the answer either. I mean, if you can't beat out, if you're Deshaun Watson, even though you've been injured and inconsistent, you've been in the league now for how many years? If you can't beat out a second-year player in Shador Sanders, that's an issue. And I think Munken is doing what a smart young rookie head coach would do. He's going to the veteran over the young quarterback. He's going over the veteran over the young quarterback because he at least knows that the game can slow down a little bit. Watson is not a good quarterback. He completed five of 12 passes for 35 yards and a pick. Four second half drives. I mean, he struggled, man. He struggled. And like I said, Shador started after Watson started the Browns preseason open against the Bears, which you knew right away. It spelled, it meant quarterback controversy. So I'm not a believer in either quarterback. I'm not a believer in any quarterback they have on their roster. I'm not. Deshaun Watson got paid a boatload of money guaranteed. He's nine and ten as a Browns starter. I would be shocked. If he played 17 games, I would be absolutely stunned if he throws for close to 2,800 yards. He just can't play anymore. Can't. So, and they're not going to give it to Dylan Gabriel. And they're not giving the starting job to a six-round pick in Taylor Green. They're really not. So Mumpkin knows I'm trying to make a splash. I'm trying to win some ball games. My first year as a rookie head coach, I have to go with the veteran quarterback. And that's the route they're going to go. Now, speaking of veteran quarterbacks, how about this? There's noise coming out of Atlanta because Tua has struggled mightily that the Falcons actually might cut Tua. That's the rumblings going on right now. Because it's kind of been an uneven training camp preseason. Now, I don't believe you cut him because you can't rely on Michael Penix Jr. and his health. But maybe if you want to have the debate, it leaves it leaves the door open for Penix Jr. That's understandable. That's understandable. Penix Jr. is now cleared to participate in 11-on 11 drills. You know, he fought back, recovered from that left knee surgery. And I'll tell you right now, man, I thought Atlanta was going to at least try to run it back once, I should say, ride it one time with two at the helm for one season, low risk, potential high reward, but they're not going to do that. They're not. I think right now Penix Jr. can steal the starting job away from Tua. I really do. I don't trust either quarterback, too. We talked about the quarterbacking room in the NFL. The Jets were poor, the Steelers were poor, the Browns were poor, and Atlanta's poor. But man, if Tua gets beat out by a player that is always, always injured and inconsistent, and you got a veteran quarterback in Tua that can't seize the opportunity. What does that tell you about Tua? What does that tell you about Tua? He's not running away with the competition. And it's been an uneven summer for him. And you would think with some of those weapons, he would be able to actually do something offensively, but it doesn't appear that way. Michael chimes in. Watson's gonna fail. Then they will bring in Sanders. Too many fans crying over Sanders. Penix has real Penix has weak knees. I don't think he can stay healthy. Yeah, I think they give Watson four to five weeks, Michael. I do. I think they give him four to five weeks, and I'll pull up their schedule right now, just for argument's sake. Because he just can't play anymore. He just can't. You know, Deshaun Watson, the days when he was the Texans are are far gone. They're probably gonna lose one or two of those games, maybe even both of them to start the season on the road against Jacksonville, Tampa. Then you come home, your home opener against Carolina. If they lose that game and they're 0-3, you're not gonna start Sanders against Pittsburgh. But what Munkin will do, he will most likely give Deshaun Watson one more game against a divisional rival. And then, worst case scenario, you start Shador week five against the Jets. Because now you've got a week of reps in practice, a game, and then you get ready for Baltimore. And then you have a little bit of a light load with Tennessee, Pittsburgh, and New Orleans, maybe a winnable game here and there. They're not going to be a very good football team. They won five games last year. The Browns are a poorly run franchise. We know this. They've had quarterback issues for how many years now, going back to 99 and Tim Couch. I mean, it's almost as bad as what Washington used to do. Their regular season win line total is set at five and a half games across a boatload of uh of books. I'm actually leaning towards the under. I don't see them winning many football games. I just don't. I really don't. You got to deal with the Ravens and you got to deal with Cincinnati and you got to deal with Pittsburgh that always plays your hard and has owned you for years. So now you're talking three teams that can easily win eight to nine to ten games. Well, two out of three. The Ravens and Cincinnati, I'm more high on. I don't, I'm not very high on Pittsburgh, but you kind of you understand where I'm going with that. The other situation is this with Pennox, as you alluded to, Penix, he's already got, again, bad knees. You know, uh they that was just a bad draft pick. That was just a bad draft pick by Atlanta. They signed Captain Kurt, they signed Cousins, and they gave Penix a couple opportunities. He showed you that he really is not a serviceable quarterback in the NFL. He's really not. And they drafted him. This is what made it so perplexing. Atlanta drafts this kid with the six overall pick. Okay. And now you've got a quarterback in Tua that's always injury prone, concussion prone. You've got Penix, who's only 26, but it it feels like he's older because he was a late bloomer, if you think about it, right? Coming out in Washington. So you're gonna see if he gets something out of him. Or are you gonna turn around and have this quarterback competition with Tua and Penix? And Tua is a quarterback that just cannot stay healthy. That's where it gets so. I mean, I don't know what the hell they're doing. And oh, by the way, Tua is only two years older than Penix. So this is a team that's in quarterback purgatory. This is one of the reasons I said ride it out with Tua, see what you got, and then when you only win three or four games, you draft a quarterback. It made no sense for them to sign Cousins, give them that contract, and then draft Michael Penix Jr., knowing Cousins was a veteran. Again, in this situation, it always goes back to, you know, understanding, knowing the devil you're dancing with. If Tua cannot beat out Penix, that is an indictment on Tua at this point of his career. This is a quarterback that threw for over 4,500 yards a couple seasons ago and cashed in, hasn't been the same quarterback. He just hasn't. Michael chimes in. Broncos Country. I feel bad for Browns fans. Yeah, it's gonna be an ugly, ugly, ugly, ugly season. Uh Niners coach gets into a car wreck. Now the owner is in a car wreck. That in and itself is a story. Did you guys read the details of that? So York filed for divorce from his wife. I think in May. You can't make us up. His family is worth eight point five billion dollars. Eight point five billion dollars. Okay? But he decided at 9.35 on a Sunday morning, he was gonna drive out in Ohio to a trailer park and pay a prostitute, not a thousand, not two, not three, but maybe a little lot lizard, 140 bucks for sex. And what does he get? DC, time served, slap on the wrist. He was on his way thinking he was going to meet a sex worker at a trailer park in East Palestine, Ohio. He was taken into custody by an agent, um, the human trafficking task force who or which orchestrated the sting operation. Man, you cannot make this up, man. You cannot. Wheat Hill uh MHP later claimed on Facebook York was arrested there because that's where he was pulled over. Not that the police were using one of the homes as part of a sting. Where's the common sense though? You're worth 8.5 billion. Like, you're worth 8.5 billion dollars. You are a notable figure. Okay, you're not a janitor, no disrespect, which I'm not disrespecting, but you're not a janitor mopping up the floor in the facility. You're the friggin' owner of the San Francisco 49ers, and you're driving out an hour, two hours with 200 cash, getting back change, $140, go to a trailer park to a little smoke and joke, a little fun with a prostitute? You can't make this up. What the hell are these guys thinking, man? You have to be super bad at picking up women if you're that rich and have to find 140 quick fix. That's like hanging at the club, right? The club closes at three, and you got the guys hanging on the wall like 255, hoping, praying, wishing. It ain't happening, man. Go home. Go home, go watch the squigglies, do something. Yeah, that that's horrible. That's horrible. And you know, the NFL, we're waiting to hear the statement from the friggin' NFL, right? Mike in Ohio uh chimes in in uh Cleveland, Ohio Q. I don't know what the hell the Browns are doing. This is getting utterly ridiculous. I know you had Hasty on the other day. Do you think that Munkin's gonna be one and done? No. I think the Arizona coach, Mike, might be one and done. Uh, I don't think they're gonna do that with Munkin. I don't look, there's certain things out of your control, right? Injuries happen in the NFL. They happen. Uh quarterbacks struggle, right? You know, veterans come in and they can't seize the opportunity. Young quarterbacks maybe can't grasp certain concepts in the offense. In this situation, Munken is trying to win football games early, and that's the only reason he's going to Deshaun Watson. He believes Deshaun Watson gives them the best chance of winning football games early on, because that's you want to. Here's the thing: if you go to Deshaun first, which they are, and it doesn't work out, then the fan base after week three, four, five, the pressure will mount. They're one and four, their offense is going nowhere. Let's see if we've got something in the kid. And if you back me in a corner of truth theorem, Shador Sanders is not an NFL quarterback. He's not the future of the Cleveland Browns. I think we all know it. But that quarterback needs to, um, sorry, that head coach needs to try to win football games early in his tenure because you have to try to drown out the noise. So, yeah, they'll start Watson. And when Watson struggles, the chorus, you know, you got those goofballs in in Cleveland, the radio guys that are diehard Browns fans, man. They will kill Deshaun Watson. They will crush, they will criticize, they will rip. And every week, when Deshaun Watson goes 12 of 26 for a buck 46, and they're only mustering 13 points a game, they're going to ask Monken, uh, are you going to make a switch? Did you think about pulling Deshaun? They don't really have a ton of weapons, too. They have Junkins, the running back, right? They got a couple um of wide receivers, nothing to really write home about. They're not a good football team. And then defensively, where you hold your hat or where you hung your hat, their best player, their franchise face of the franchise, right? Future Hall of Famer was traded away to the Rams, who, oh, by the way, didn't participate in today's training camp because he's dealing with a knee issue. So, you know, thinking they're gonna get, you know, 13, 14, 15 hell, 23 sacks defensively from a star on defense. Well, they don't have that guy anymore. So they don't really have anything to look forward to. That's a hell of a fan base, man. I told you when I did radio in Ohio, that's a hell of a fan base up there. They deserve to have a friggin' winning franchise. It's just they have no idea how to get out of their own way. They just don't. And a lot of these franchises that don't know how to get out of their own way are not gonna win. I think the pressure's already on Watson. Yeah, his comments were bushly, by the way. You can't say that, man. You know why they booed you? They booed you because you stink. Sanders might be in for game two. You think so you, man, that's you see, you can't do that. And I'm gonna tell you why. If you're gonna do that, then you might as well have given Shador week one status. If you are gonna, if you're gonna make a quarterback change after two weeks, then that tells you you have no idea what the hell you're doing. Deshaun Watson, give him four to five games minimum. Four to five games minimum, and then you make that decision. Four to five games minimum. And if he can't figure it out and they really struggle, then you make a change. And I'm gonna give you the perfect scenario. I'll give you the perfect scenario. The Giants gave Russell Wilson, who, oh, by the way, threw for 450 yards in week two last year, three games. And because they knew he wasn't the long-term answer, and where they drafted Dart, he had a play. And he won two out of his first three, and then they had that long losing streak, right? And then he dealt with so many injuries, and then you know, um Jameis came in, Winston came in, and here you go. That's a different story because of where Jackson Dart was drafted as a franchise quarterback. This head coach knows to silence the critics right away. I have to what? I have to win some football games. And if I don't win football games, it's gonna put more pressure on me as a first-year head coach. And the last thing a first-year head coach wants to deal with is the media and the fan base. Now, what cures that? You win a couple games to start. You win a couple games to start. I I I think Arizona's in trouble with Mike LaFleur. I do. And James Hasty said it last week. He might be one and done. Jesse Minter, he might have some staying power. Stefanski's already shown he can coach in this league, whether you believe he's competent or not. Kubiak coming off the Super Bowl, Halfley, that that organization's a mess, right? And then you got Munkin, uh, Todd Munkin going from the Ravens to the Browns. Brady was promoted from offensive coordinator, head coach with the Bills, and you've got an all-pro world wide receiver quarterback in Josh Allen. So if you look at what these coaches have done as far as who's under them, so Todd Munkin, his offensive coordinator is Travis Switzer. He was with the Ravens the last eight years. So Munkin decided here's my buddy, I'm taking him over. Their defensive coordinator is Mike Ruderman, who's been around for a long, long time. They just don't have player personnel. But they know if they go with Watson, at least you're telling the fan base to start. We want to try to be competitive and win a couple uh football games. And then if it doesn't work out, that's That's when you make the switch. That's when you make the switch. Fans are already trying to start a paper bag on their head movement. The pressure might get to them to start Sanners. He already said they're going to go with Watson, man. I say three to four games. As far as Atlanta, Pennyx, Tua, your guess is as good as mine, man. I did want to touch on a couple moments. We've got some injuries already going on in the NFL. And I think the Genty injury, because you add him to the list. I know someone on X decided they were a doctor and said it was a torn ACL. No. But reports are saying that the Raiders are not sure how long he's going to be sidelined. So an ankle injury isn't ideal for a running back, especially one who kind of struggled behind a really bad offensive line as a rookie. Here's my issue now. If he misses the first couple weeks of the season, I believe that pushes back the timetable for when they were potentially thinking about starting Mendoza. Because if you have a capable running back and a line that's at least serviceable, a young running back's going to take pressure off a young quarterback. Now, you know, I think it kind of expedites the process for Kirk Cousins. He'll get a lot more reps, and you have to see what happens the last couple preseason games if they're going to have starters out there the first quarter or the first half, because now they might be a little gun shy. Same situation with the Cardinals. They lose love. I mean, that's a high draft pick, a young running back. Oh, by the way, with ankle injuries, and you got love. So he's a third overall draft pick, suffered a high ankle sprain in the game against the Raiders, and they rolled him out in the preseason, and now he could potentially miss the start of the regular season. That is a big injury. Jonathan Greenard, Eagles linebacker. That was a big splash acquisition for the Eagles. Didn't even make it to training camp before he went down. Peck strain, not good. They traded with the Vikings in April. A four-year $98 million contract to be an elite pass rusher. He's going to miss a start of the season. Then you got Kobe Bryant with the Bears to safety. So that's another offseason addition who was injured before the preseason. Igbuda, the uh uh Bucks wide receiver, toe injury. So you have these injuries that are happening at the worst time. Higgins goes down for the Texans, their wide receiver, Pearsall out again for the 49ers. Walker, the Falcons defensive end. He was a big-time presence and pass rusher. He's out. And then Lamry Tunsell for the Commanders, your left tackle that is supposed to protect your quarterback's blind side. Brees Hall, something to watch and monitor. Tyson, the States wide receiver, something to watch. Laporta, the tight um the Lions tight end, something to watch as well. Kevin C in North Jersey, cute. Thank God you're talking football. I don't mind the WNBA hoops talk, but you know my home is football. Um, did Tracy play himself out of a position? Yes. You're talking about Tyron Tracy. Yeah, I think he's gonna get cut. I think the Giants are gonna cut him. They brought in Harris. You know, here's a back that's had a couple thousand-yard campaigns. You got Singletary, you got Scataboo. You cannot fumble in the preseason. You can't. And oh, by the way, speaking of players that I think are gonna get cut, um, this friggin' Love Fest with some of these Giant fans with Beckham, who makes one catch and then literally drops a short touchdown in the back of the end zone, those are the plays that you want to see if you're horball, if Beckham can still make, and he didn't. And I think he's gonna be a I think Beckham is gonna, I don't believe Beckham makes this roster. If he makes the roster, it's pure sentiment. It's pure sentiment that doesn't win your friggin' football games. It just doesn't. And I don't know, the Giants might turn around now and they treat if Darius Slayton continues to get reps and meaningful reps, they're showcasing him. He's not been traded, but he's a trade candidate because the Giants have a roster, you know, a log jam at the wide receiver. Neighbors coming back, Mooney Fields, Slayton, Beckham Jr. They already got rid of Juju. So I think right now, I think if you're Slayton, you're talking to your agent and you're trying to find a team that is a wide receiver needy team. I give you Houston Texans, and you're a viable option as a veteran wide receiver, okay? A veteran wide receiver. One of them is gonna get traded. It might be Mooney or it might be Slayton. And I have no idea what they're gonna do with Beckham. I don't believe Beckham can play anymore. I just don't. I don't. And the problem is you've got overlapping strengths, right? Now you move a draft pick like they got for the uh tackle, and you get a backup defensive tackle, right? So it's kind of like this aforementioned five-man group that is kind of locked in. Neighbors is not going anywhere. Austin sign is a free agent. Fields is a third-round rookie, so at least you're gonna give them a little bit of time to kind of grow. And then you've got Hodges, who's shown that he can play. You know, Hyatt's been a bust of a draft pick. Barrios, I don't think he can play anymore, but a decent special teamer, so you keep him on the roster because you lose Gunnar Oshewski. And then you got Beckham Jr. And I don't believe Odell is that guy anymore. And he hasn't been for years. Uh Junty is a tough loss. I'm a Boise State fan. Had season tickets all the games in his last season here. Oh, nice little pull there. Nice, very nice. Young kid behind him looks good though. Nice. Yeah, I don't know who's on who's on their death chart. Who's on the Raiders death chart? Don't they have three? Don't they have uh three running backs listed on their death chart? They got Genty. The kid from Arkansas, right? I think it's a kid from Arkansas. I think that's the one you're talking about. Mike, Mike, Mike Washington. And they got two, they got another kid, too, that I don't think he's gonna get any burn. I think he's from a um FCS school uh or CAA school, maybe New I don't know, New Hampshire, Delaware something like that. But that is a big loss, man. That does not that does not instill confidence when you lose that wide receiver. You like the Giants being the Cowboys in the opener. Wow. I can't do it. And I'm a diehard Giants fan, and I don't believe in the Giants this year. I don't. I don't. I need this quarterback to go 17 weeks without coming out of a game. And that offensive line worries me. Dallas on the road to open up the season against the Giants. They're laying three. They're laying three. I mean, I already started to check the futures and the look ahead lines. And remember, too, a lot of these defenses are ahead of the offenses to open up the season. So you might kind of gear towards some of these unders, and some of them are somewhat high. I can't believe the season. We forget that the season usually opens on a Thursday. Not this year, it's opening on a Wednesday. You got the Patriots in Seattle, and then you have the 49ers and the Rams, and that's the Melbourne game, and that's Thursday, and then Sunday the 13th, you get the full slate of games, and then obviously the Giants are Monday night. I'm sorry, the Giants are Sunday night, and then Monday night, you get the return of Patrick Mahomes and Denver on the road. And by the way, I love Denver. I'm leaning towards Denver already, getting three on the road to open up the season against Kansas City. There you go. Washington Jr. Yeah. We're gonna dive a lot more into the NFL tomorrow with Lloyd Vance, but I like I said, I want to pop on for about 25-30, break up the monotony a little bit, go over some of these injuries, go over the Sean Watson situation. Uh let me see, Sergeant Delaware chimes in. You know my Ravens fans. What's the outlook this season? I think the Ravens are gonna be good. I don't think the Ravens are going to miss a beat, to be quite honest with you. I think the Ravens are gonna be the Ravens. You got Lamar Jackson, you got weapons all over the place, wide receivers, you got a Hall of Fame back. Yeah, you lose Harbaugh, but everyone was uh they were pretty much getting ready to get rid of Harbaugh after that regular season finale loss against Pittsburgh, winning to run the ball a couple more yards for a rookie kicker. No, I I think the Ravens, there's pressure on the Ravens. Obviously, it's a tough division. You know that, and I know that, but I believe this could be a big year for Lamar Jackson. I do. I really do. Lamar Jackson's gonna be in the MVP conversation. Lamar Jackson is a great quarterback. Lamar Jackson always gets criticized because he has playoff failures. Well, I got news for you, man. Josh Allen doesn't get a pass either. And Josh Allen is an all-pro MVP. But Josh Allen has also struggled in the postseason. No, I think I think this year you get a locked-in Lamar Jackson. And we know that last year was frustrating for Lamar Jackson because he just couldn't stay upright. And Lamar Jackson's not getting any younger. But he did have a down year. He only played in 13 games. His numbers were down exponentially. The offensive line didn't help him out, and he just didn't play his best football. I think Lamar Jackson bounces back. Now, are you going to get 4,200 yards, 41 and 4 like we got in 2024? Maybe you get 3,800, 35 touchdowns. That's a hell of a season. Jackson doesn't throw a lot of interceptions. He just doesn't. He just doesn't. And last year, even though in 13 games, he cut down on his inner cut down on his fumbles. Now, Lamar Jackson, Baltimore should win 10-11 games. They are that good. And you have an all-world running back that does not appear to be slowing down. He just doesn't. He's just a Hall of Fame. He's a great back. He's just a, you know, you're talking about a back that's averaging 5.2 yards a carry. You know how much pressure that takes off of your offensive line, your offense as a whole, when you can go second and short, third and short, play action, be creative, take shots down the field. You got Andrews, you got um uh Flowers, right? Uh you got Hopkins. Now, the loss of likely, I think that hurts a little bit. He was a nice little target, right? Only had one touchdown, but he gives a little more of a presence from the tight end spot. But Andrews is a very good tight end. You know, he'll have some drops here and there. Um Bateman, right? You know, Bateman has been a proven wide receiver. Now, Baltimore's gonna be okay. Baltimore's gonna be fine. I don't worry about the Baltimore Ravens. I don't uh yes. Yeah. So it's a good point you bring up, but I'm okay with that. I'm gonna tell you why. It's in spots, right? So when you talk about yards allowed, that's one thing. When you're talking about points per game, that's another thing. I don't mind if you go 20 to 20 on me. I don't mind. Where I have a problem is if I'm giving up yards and points like the Giants have done, like the Dallas Cowboys have done. So I look at the Ravens and I look at their schedule. I look at the AFC North. Obviously, Pittsburgh is a you know what, Cleveland is a you know what? I mean, they're disasters. Cincinnati, you're banking on Burrow to be healthy, and they finally address their defense. But I look at the Ravens, and to your point, when you talk about the yards, yes, they will give up a lot of yards. But my concern with the Ravens, just like your concern is, what are you doing points against, right? So 398. They were plus 26 point differential, right? So they scored 424, they gave up 386. So you look at a 17-game season, that's 22 points a game. They get that down to 19 this year, they're gonna be fine. They give up yardage, they give up chunks of yardage, but I'm willing to sacrifice that as long as you don't get in the end zone. Dallas Cowboys are a totally different story because the Dallas Cowboys gave up 511 points. That's 30 points a game, the Dallas Cowboys were giving up. That is a problem. 22-21, I'm okay with that. I'm okay with that. 18th in points. So that's yeah, 21-22. That's I I can live with that. I honestly, if they got that number down to 19-20, 20-21, I'm okay because the Ravens are a team that's gonna run the football. They play very well in cold weather and bad weather. They're always a pretty decent home team. They know how to win within the division. You just don't need that quarterback making mistakes. And you've got Henry in the fourth quarter, they're gonna be okay. I think they're gonna be okay. They're not losing anything with Harbaugh, they're not. The only thing I would caution is this. Well, I shouldn't say that. That's doing a disservice to Harbaugh. That's not fair. I let me let me walk that back. What I meant to say is this they still have the player personnel. Now, do you entrust a young coordinator who's now the head coach to come in and if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. Because I know from some of the Ravens fans that listen in, and I get a ton of them, they are not high on Jesse Minter. They don't like Minter at all. And I'm like, the guy hasn't even stepped foot on the field on a friggin' Sunday, and we want to write this guy off. And all of a sudden sit there and say, he's not gonna be a good head coach. Well, again, look at his track record. He brought in Declan Doyle, offensive coordinator, Anthony Weaver, right? And then he brought in uh Anthony Levine Sr. Special Teams. Uh, everyone, you know, they they look at Declan Doyle, and a lot of people think, okay, you know, he's he's not that bad, right? You know, he's young. Um, is he proven? He's 30. He was the coordinator for the Bears. Uh, and now of a sudden he's the offensive coordinator, I should say, with Weaver D.C. He's the offensive coordinator of the Ravens. So he was with the Bears, and Williams had a breakout season. So now you're basically working with a future Hall of Fame quarterback and Russell um and Lamar Jackson. Their game, their offense is going to be predicated on running the football. You guys know that, and I know it. So I don't worry too much with the Ravens. Um, but we're gonna go around the league tomorrow. Like I said, Lloyd Vance is gonna jump on our weekly Tuesday spot. Uh, we've got some other NFL videos that we're gonna be dropping on the channel. We wanted to pop on for about 30 or 35. Like I said, break up the monotony. You got a lot of stuff going on right now in the NFL. And oh, by the way, college football starts this weekend. So just kind of throw it out there. And if you are curious, uh Valkyrie over the links, 34-32. And if you are even more curious, as we just check out the box score, Miles right now, 105, four points. Ooh. You guys were fantastic, by the way, earlier in the day with the uh WNBA talk. But we love talking football. So college right around the corner, Costco's gonna join us from 24-7. Uh, and I mentioned Lloyd Vance later on the week, John Bueler from Fan Side It, James Hasty. We're working on him every other week during the NFL season. That's gonna be fun as well. So, tomorrow, back on a lot. Yes, exactly. Got to break it up sometimes, Michael, right? You got to break it up a little bit. We love talking the hoops, we love talking about the drama that is the W, but we also know that we have a phonetical and passionate fan base. So, like I said, just wanted to pop on for about 30 to 40. Uh, we will dive more into this quarterback in carousel in Cleveland, also what's going on in Atlanta, the Raiders' injuries. We'll go round the league with Lloyd Vance tomorrow. Get your football questions ready to chime into that. We're gonna fire off in the afternoon. Check out the notifications, subscribe as always.
