GBag Nation
2nd hour of the G-Bag Nation: NFL News of the Day; College Football Insider Danny Kanell joins the Nation; Crusty's Corner: Broaddus takes a look at Browns Offense
All right. Here we go. Our two G back nation 105 three the fan. We do have Danny Canell coming up in 20 minutes. We'll be talking college football with him. The big Michigan game coming up. That'll be a good conversation here. He's got a hard stop at 37 guys though. So don't be too long winded with him. Just wanted to give you the heads up for that time now for me. I always go full PJ Carlissimo. Yeah. PJ PJ PJ. That guy is the goat, isn't he. He is. Holy cow. That was a three question interview. Yeah. It's like a red cross drop supplies to us. We were there so long. We went three minutes late. Needed an IV after listening to that guy. Wow. Here's wall Chuck with your NFL news today though. Thank you very much reading it to Micah and some of his comments here in just a moment. But news of the day. Shout out to Patrick Sir Tan. What do you like to say? He just got today, Eric? The fatty fatty boom bomb. Hell yes, record center. Heck yes. He is agreed to terms on a massive four year extension worth $96 million bleeping dollars with the Bronco 77.5 million guaranteed 24 years old as that deals done making him a rich, rich man and well deserved. He's been one of the best corners in the NFL if not the best since he became an NFL player. So he's he's fantastic. Commander's guard also gave former Texas Longhorn Sam Cosby in four year, $74 million contract extension. That includes over 45 million guaranteed. He's been a different player. He played tackle. It's not good. Right. But as soon as they've kicked him inside the guard better, much better probably. I mean, it might be one. They're only good lineman. That's very possible. Yeah. They're they're trying to stay ahead of it. They need to replace a bunch of those guys there on that on that crew. Now when it comes to Alabama and Sir Tan's deal in terms of the total of former Alabama Crimson tide players that have gotten deals this year, they've made one billion dollars this off season and former Alabama NFL players in their contracts to of course got the big deal. Patrick Sir Tan being one of them. Derek Henry, his new deal, of course with the Ravens. I mean, the list goes on. I think Jalen Wattle got paid. Yes. One of them is well. Didn't Marley Cooper get some money? I think Marley got a little bit of a bump as well. I mean, it's crazy, but they all got paid this year and a billion dollars from one school. It just shows you the power of the Crimson tide. Now I talked yesterday about Gary Slay. Slay is crawfish a little bit. No, he was talking about he didn't want to go play in Sao Paulo, Brazil. And you know, with the NFL, what are they doing? They're sending us here. The crime rates crazy. I was I asked Jane Jane's there for NFL Network. I was like, is it really that bad? Like are you scared to go out? She said no. Uh, but Uber drivers will kind of tell you like these are their spots to avoid. So maybe we can get Jane on tomorrow and she can kind of give us an update on what life's like there in Brazil, but there he's like to social media. So I want to apologize to anyone I offended. That wasn't my intention. I'm looking forward to playing in your beautiful country. And I've heard y'all are very passionate, just like our amazing Eagle fans. Just a few more days can't wait. Can't wait. You want full Bart Scott, especially do you gang members I offended? Yeah, I think the people from Brazil are really going after him. That's actually a good point too. Yeah, you want to make sure you save your fan. Oh, Brian. I think the worst part about it for me would be the flight. Isn't it? Isn't that a long flight? Nine hours, he said. DFW to Brazil's 10. Yeah. Wow. So it's nine hours. So you're adding three or four from Philly. How long's the London flight? You got to go in 2014. That was about nine hours. Yeah, you're flying. That one is a lot faster. Of course, going from here to because of the jet stream. Mm. Well, the Eagles are not going to have to have seven white. The linebacker, they sign this free agency from the bucks. He's ruled out with an ankle injury. So there's a starter. They're not going to have Friday night. Hollywood Brown, chief's wide receiver also not playing in the season opener tomorrow. We did know that but it has now become official and fantasy football fans. Pretty the big sigh relief. Jamarti showed up full pads to practice today. Sure. I know Diana or Cindy Scoop City on the athletic was saying, Hey, if he didn't practice, that's indication he's probably serious. He's not playing Sunday, but he did show up. Joe burrow said he's good to go. So it looks like Jamarti's is not going to hold out. He is going to play week one for the bangles. Game checks, guys. Yeah, you're not missing that. Yeah. The neck of Davis Mills, one of the best necks. What happened to the history of the sport? Wrong neck. Oh, no, him or Mike Glennon. He's sticking around. Texans are signing him to a one year, five million dollar deal to be the back of the strap. The neck lives on. The neck lives on. Let's go to fight another day. We got you, bro. I got saggy turtlenecks. Lennon and Mills. Like we should have a neck off between the two of them, which one's longer. Yeah. I think Travis bring your three best neckers. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Three. She's got a roster we can use. Oh, I'm fresh out dog. Oh, I thought I'd ask you first. I thought maybe you had three. We might be able to use fresh out, bro. All right. Just let me know when you get three now. Travis ETN is a new name to throw into the mix. It's just an honorable mention for a current big time guy. Check out Travis ETN. Yeah. No, he's hiding in plain sight that way. It's Merton Hanks. Oh, Merton Hanks. Yeah. Right. Well, it depends on where you're going for you going for more length. Are you going for more Paul Puslow's knee to Kio Spike's girth? Oh, Kio Spike. We'll see his. Yeah. Yeah. That was big. Two different categories. Yeah. Yeah. No question. Those are guys without necks. Yeah, but short, but like very fit. I guess it's a fair way to put it. That's like a less tonnage. It's like head on shoulders, not even neck. You know who might have been the perfect mix of length and girth as it pertains to the neck is late in Van der Ash. When crazy enough, he had neck issues. Yeah. It's crazy and final tough. Cal pits uncertain for week one against the Steelers. Falcon's tight end. So when you're getting, uh, he's got a hammy. Oh, yep. That's a I got a car today. I parked too close to the guy next to me. I think I pull my hamstrings. Get out of the car. I noticed you limping around, but I thought that might have been the bunion or the gout. No, no, I could have swore that was a gout. Yeah. No, I'll let you know that. But man, I pull the hamstring, getting out of the car. It was a little too close extended. No, I had to like kind of snake my way out. It didn't work too well. Slytherin. Yeah, I did the cars didn't work. It sucks getting old, man. It really does. Come back player of the year, actually didn't win that award. Joe, Joe, what are you making up stuff over there again? Demar Hamlin. Uh, he's making his first start nearly two years after he's now moved back to the front of the bill's depth chart. Well, that's an example of some of the talent no longer being there in the building, to some extent. And the guy rallies and you're going to do that. Are you watching dog in that depth chart? He is a little bit. That's, that's a mighty golf season fan over there. That's my bill in the playoffs. Are they out? No, they're in the playoffs. They're in. They're not out. She's not going to win the division. Ooh, who is? We saving it for not? No, not the Jets. Is it the dolphin dolphins? It's the dolphin. It's the dolphin. You heard it here. Barnwell says, let's go. Barnwell's got the saints going to the dance. Dude, I'm all for it. More Mike McDaniel audio. Give me the fence. I'm here. All right. Let's go to Michael Parsons, pants. He's wearing, by the way, joggers, McDaniel. Yeah, big jogger guys. Big jogger. We had a whole conversation about us. We broke it. I think you just ice them up a little, like a pre jogger deal. Are they skinny guy pants? Is it what those are? We're skinny guy pants anywhere. It's like two sizes, two big shoes. Remember that was the thing that he gets made fun of? Dawson, you like those pants, don't you? Well, I'm a soccer coach, so I can't hate on them too hard. You're that guy shows a little ratches himself and sniffs it shows a little too much path, not as quiet as it's a little too form fitting for my chicken legs, you know, to be honest, but I won't, I won't turn a pair down. But we got to go to the team. Oh, when it comes to the next, and Jevon Kirs still out there looking for a gig right now. All right. Michael Parsons talking today. Hold on. Hold on. J. Ron curse, not Jevon curse J Ron, not the former for J Ron. J Ron curse. Thank you for that correction. So much for falling my brain right now. I bet I bet I bet Jevon curse could in a Mike Zimmer defense at next next to Michael Parsons. I bet he could go get you as many sacks as a Rooki Neelen. All right. You need one sack from an old retired veteran stud. The market is where where it's which one to go on for where I saw where in the weight room today on his Instagram. It's like, yeah, he is. He is so just physically where can get you. He looks like he could still play. So it's Michael Urban. All right. Here's Micah today at the star. What does he want to be this year? Matthew Stafford Def. Whoops, we got two Mike cuts. We'll get to the Matthew Stafford one in a second. I got it. Yeah. You're good. You're good. I clean that up in post. Don't worry about it. You know, it's the killer, the hitman and assassin, you know, the killer and sloppy. You know, he's probably gonna get caught. You know, he's not very good at what he does, but he's a killer. You know, it's raw in the streets. Call like that. You got the hitman, the hitman might not get caught, but you know, who did it? You know, like, you know, he's probably a little bit more clean and assassin. You know, you know, he's there. You know, you've done it. You know what I'm saying? So each time you really want to develop. And I think at this fourth year mark for me, I think I'm ready to be an assassin. He's ready to be an assassin. Wow. He doesn't want to be the killer, but he's ready to be the assassin. That's quite the word picture there. I do have some of his analogies, man. I mean, he was barely there. You would not know he was there in the off season. So maybe that was just in practicing. Oh, Dawson's on to something. You're saying he's an assassin late in the season when it matters. From far far away, it's like he wasn't even there. Yeah. So killer's the lowest rung of this human category. He said sloppy. Yeah, because it's simply on the dictionary. It just says like a person or thing that kills. That's a killer. But once you get to the hitman, it's a person who paid to kill professionally. But then you get to the assassin. That's a person who murders an important person for specific type political reasons. Did you want to be the assassin? Like you're going for the quarterback? Yeah, I think the hitman is probably what he wants. The hitman sounds badass. Hey, man. You get paid to do it. Yeah. Yeah. But he, I think you're right where he's trying to go after the quarterback. That's like, I'm not here to get paid, right? The assassin. The assassin is kind of doing it for the love of the game a little bit. Oh, that's like personal game. Yeah. There's something more invested there might be political. You might be an agent working for, you know, an assassin's probably on retainer is like James Bond and assassin for like John Wick. I think so. I think so. John Wick is an assassin. James Bond is an agent. He's an agent. Yeah. Yeah. Agent double seven. Let's get back to Micah on his podcast yesterday. He was going through the most underrated players in the national football league going through the list of assassins. And he did do that afterwards. But here was his most underrated quarterback. Matthew Stafford definitely doesn't get his light. I think because of his time in Detroit. But he's also a Super Bowl champion. I think his career is definitely super underrated. They don't ever put him in a category where he's the right thing. He's easily a top ten quarterback, top five, depending on what you're looking for, what attributes and just being around him over the past three, four years competing against him. He's definitely one of the more complicated guys to go through with no look passes. He's been doing that. He's a big, his ability to read defenses. I mean, Matthew Stafford really does it all. He does. And he's gotten a lot of love this off season. Neil Williams, C.J. Stroud, myself, Bobby Belt going after it. Matthew Stafford, for whatever reason, I don't think it's the price it deserves. But Micah, the latest to say, hey, underrated. He also said Brock Purdy would be the other underrated quarterback right now. It's hard to argue. Purdy does a lot of winning in the postseason, but he does have a great team around him. I think that's the next thing he needs to check off. Like the injuries. Hey, if you don't have Debo, you don't have Trent Williams, like, are you able to now elevate your game to get some dubs? So one thing pretty has not quite done yet. I mean, Stafford's just had so many years with double digit interceptions. You know, he's kind of like a he's got some far venom. Yeah, gunslinger. I was going to say, yeah, like a modern version of a far, but you know, I think when it comes to reading the defenses and you need a great arm to make a big time throw and he's an athlete, he'll go get, you know, fourth and one, he can go run for super tough and long first downs. Yeah, I would definitely think that. And yes, it's all due to being with the lions, you know, we evaluate quarterback wins and losses and and two playoffs with them and those Ross. I mean, he had Calvin Johnson granted, but the rest of those rosters, I mean, they were a bad call away from beating the Cowboys in that wild card game. That was, they picked up the flag. Thank God they did. And then we went on to Green Bay. We know what happened there. Final thing here. NFL news. Cousins underrated. No, I don't think cousins is underrated because cousins is also one that's like ranked in these top 10 lists. And that's, he's probably right there with that. I mean, he kind of finds ways to win games. Yeah, like he's a right. I mean, it's quarterback. I mean, when when he goes out this, there is team falls apart. What do you guys think of passer rating as a stat? I think QBR has now kind of overtaken passer rating. Yeah, for sure. Because I mean, Stafford just, he lives in the 80s and 90s. Only has had a couple of years in the 100s for passer rating where Kirk Cousins consistently is in there. Yeah, but I feel like Stafford's a better player. Right. Like I would take Stafford. I mean, Stafford finally got on a good team wins four playoff games in the Super Bowl. If Stafford does not win the Super Bowl, do you take him over Kirk Cousins? Because we were always doing radio where it was Dak, Eli Manning, Stafford, Cousins, we all had him lumped together, right? And it's tough to really differentiate like once you've got your top two guys, which I believe are my homes in burrow. And then I probably put Alan, even though there's things you can pick about his game. And number three, the after that, it's basically like ice cream flavors. Like we always talk about in the draft. Yeah, none of like all of these guys have things that they need to prove. But the Super Bowl is what sets apart. The playoff success to me that Stafford now has accomplished is what sets apart him to. I wonder if this is a year that Rogers finally falls off the cliff. Could happen. Very likely that it could happen. Yes. It appeared like it was maybe already happening late in Green Bay. And then you have the injury last year, you know, and it might just, you know, hit you a front and center this season. All right.

Danny Canell joining us courtesy of bed online. Check out bed online for updated college football playoff conference, Heisman and college football week two lines and a good afternoon. Danny, how the heck are you? I was doing better before the season started as a Florida state grad, you know, now Oh, and two has not been kind, but first we get a college football was awesome across the board. So I'm doing pretty good. How about you guys? We're fantastic. And we are licking our chops for this Texas, Michigan match up this coming Saturday. I don't know for you. I mean, I've seen some Michigan fans that they're talking big. Some people are projecting. Hey, Texas isn't even going to work 10 points. There's the big house. What do you think about this matchup? Well, if I was a Michigan fan and I had just watched that Fresno State game, I wouldn't be talking too much smack after what they put on display. And week one, now the question is, was that just an aberration where they had a little bit flat? Maybe they were looking ahead to the Texas game, which I do think is probably that would happen. But Texas is going to be in for a physical ball game. That is the one thing that pops that Michigan still does have. Will Johnson, one of the best defensive backs in the country, he had a pick six in that game. He's going to challenge Texas is wide receivers. But I cannot wait to watch the match up sort of the chess match in the game of Steve Sarkeesian, the offensive mastermind going against Wink Martindale, who is Michigan's defensive coordinator who's there for the first time. He's back in college. He was with the New York Giants. He spent some time along most of his career in the NFL. He's going to have some blitzes dialed up to try to confuse that offensive line to try to confuse Quinn, yours for some Aaron throws. That to me is sort of the game within the game. Danny, who had a better win? USC or Notre Dame? Oh, that's a great question. I'll say USC, I'll lean USC because I do feel they answered some more questions for me. You know, USC looks so good on both sides of the football. And that was the one thing like Miller Moss. He had six touchdowns in the bowl game, but it was sort of like, well, that was just a meaningless bowl game. Like bowl games don't mean as much. And what he's showcased going toe to toe with Garrett Nussmeyer, who a lot of people think is going to be a top five take in the NFL draft, going like trading jobs. Like it was a lot of fun. That game was a ton of fun to watch. But then probably more impressively was the defense for USC, which was absolutely atrocious last season. The last couple of years, really, for Lincoln Riley, and they brought in this new defensive coordinator and they didn't really bring in a lot of new personnel, but they looked physical. They looked well coached. They tackled outstanding. So I thought they were a little bit more impressive not to take away from anything that Notre Dame did because I thought that was one of those defensive slug fest. But I do want to see their quarterback, Riley Leonard, take another step forward in the past game, both those offenses, but it a little bit. And what I'm trying to figure out is it more because the defenses that we're on display, which we're outstanding for is it kind of, you know, some concern potentially for both of those teams on the offensive side of the ball. So I'm going to get myself in trouble because those are two big fan bases with Texas A&M and Notre Dame, but watching that game, Danny, I'm just, this is the pretendrable. These are two teams that come in super hyped every year, but realistically are not going to be competing for anything substantial. Yeah, I would tend to agree with you. This is one of those things about the 12 team playoff, the expansion, it's going to give a lot of team and fan bases a lot of hope, right? Oh, you can make a playoff and they're going to, but then I think there is going to be a pretty big gap in their disparity and the teams that are going against the top tier teams like Georgia, like Ohio State, some of these really complete teams that are out there. So I don't disagree with you, but I will say this, it sure does feel like Notre Dame punched their ticket. And I don't know if I would have said the same about tech, they and clearly they would have been in a much better position than losing the game, but Notre Dame's schedule is an absolute cakewalk. And I was joking about Florida State. That was supposed to be one of their harder games, who they do play in South end. All of a sudden, they might be a two touchdown favorite in that game. And then the team, we were just talking about USC. That's the finale. They know Notre Dame's probably undefeated at that point. They're going to be favored in every game this season. They might be favored in that one. We'll see how it unfolds, but even if they lose that, I do think an 11 one Notre Dame team is in the playoffs, you know, no matter any way you look at it. Danny, did Nebraska figure out their quarterback situation? Well, it sure feels like it. He looks pretty good. You know, in a blowout, that's always you kind of have to take that with a grain of salt. We'll find out about him because it is a big stage. You know, there's going to be a lot of eyeballs watching that game because they're going against Colorado. We know what Colorado brings to the table. A lot of brash, confident, bold, you know, statement, bold declarations from them and outstanding offense. The thing that I think is going to be really interesting is Dylan Riol is their freshman quarterback who looked great so far. He's going to have an opportunity against a defense that got sliced and diced all last year and then it continued against an FCS opponent where their quarterback looked awesome. So there are going to be some opportunities for Dylan Riol to look really good. But on this stage, you're always kind of wonder, how's he going to respond? Is he going to the lights too big? It doesn't feel like that anyway whatsoever. So I feel pretty good about him, but there's always that little bit of man. He's still a really young player. How's it going to look when he's out there with, you know, on that type of stage? What about Miami? Are they, are they the real deal? You think? I mean, they should be able to win that conference pretty easily. Yes, they should. And they're clearly the front runner right now with the way Clemson looked and then Florida State fallen off the map. But I felt like this season coming in. I was pretty bullish on the cane. They have the best roster that they've had here since joining the ACC. We're talking almost two decades that they've been in the ACC and they've had talented teams, but this is by far the most talent they've had across the board. And it really does start with Cam Ward, who I thought was the most attractive quarterback in the transfer, a transfer portal market this offseason. You saw it on display in Gainesville. He's dynamic. He's cool, calm, collected. He never panicked. He did have one ill-advised pass that was kind of like he does remind you of today's quarterback, which is sort of that Patrick Mahomes, Caleb Williams style where it's a little bit more gun flinger type where you're just kind of going out there. Sometimes there's nothing there. You sit back, you buy some time and you go for that big play. He got burdened on one of those early in the game, had an interception, but like most great quarterback didn't phase him one bit. He, you know, followed it up. And I would say the only caveat with that conversation is, you know, Florida, how good are they? But I tell you, going into the swamp week, you know, week one opener, you know, it was going to be loud. It was a hostile environment. And they embarrassed the Gators on their home field. So I do think Miami is the real deal. Talking about this conference in the ACC, SMU at 2 and 0, first year in the conference, are they a sneaky team that could maybe even make that conference championship game? Absolutely. Um, they definitely could. That's the interesting thing about the ACC now is there were really three teams coming in that everybody kind of was like, oh, yeah, it's going to be some mixture of these three teams. And it was Miami. It was Florida State and it's Clemson. Well, we saw Clemson, you know, look to struggle mightily against Georgia. Now I do give them a pass because Georgia embarrasses a lot of teams. So we'll have to see Florida State though, and two, and it's like dire times there. So they're out of the race. And then it's like, okay, well, who's going to step up? Georgia Tech looks pretty good. Um, you know, and oh, by the way, Virginia Tech, who was a trendy team to be that pick, they lost a Vanderbilt on the road. So why wouldn't it be SMU at this point? And I'm not, I got to tell you a game on the beginning of the season that I wasn't that nervous about all of a sudden that first ACC game with Florida State coming to town. I think they have to feel pretty good about their chances. So yeah, I think Rhett Lashley's team has to feel as good as anybody right now in the ACC. Danny, when you looked at Alabama, Kalen DeBore, as it's, uh, usually Alabama will schedule one or two games where they kind of get their, you know, get their bearings and stuff. But how would you assess the Alabama's coaches debut? Oh, it was as solid as you could get. I mean, I do think like if you were really nitpicking, there's some concern that you do have. Um, you know, a couple big plays were there that Western Kentucky's quarterback missed. But I mean, talk to Oregon who barely beat Idaho and FCF squad, you know, talked to North Carolina State who was losing in the fourth quarter. Bama was in control of the game from start to finish. Um, they've looked apart. And that's kind of what I believed all the time. I know people like Georgia, people like Texas. I do too, but do not count out Alabama. They will be in this race come November towards the back end of the season. They'll be a factor. I don't know if they're good enough to be that national championship contender just yet, but absolutely think they're in that conversation. It's one of the 12 teams that, you know, are getting that invite at the end of the season. Danny is Clemson. We were talking about ACC and it just kind of clicked with me about Clemson. As you mentioned, is Davos, sweetie beating punish for not playing in the transfer portal game? Yes. I there's so I love Davo and I love its philosophy. I used to have that philosophy probably 10 years ago that, you know, I didn't really like transfer guys. I viewed him as quitters. I saw him as guys that didn't want to be into the long haul. And, you know, kind of the old school mentality of, yeah, I want guys that are homegrown that are guys that came in together and you keep a class together for four years and five years. That is all changed. I've adapted. I've adopted myself changed my philosophy. I've adapted today's game just in the perception of the way I view teams. Most every coach in the country, I don't think there's anyone that has just ignored it. It really is the equivalent of an NFL franchise saying, you know what? We don't want to tackle free agency. We'll just went through the draft and it's like trying to win a fight with one arm tied behind your back. I do hope because I kind of root for him and this kind of bucking the trend and doing it more old school. I think they can rebound because their talent is there. They do have a ton of foreign five stars across their roster, but I thought you saw the depth get exposed because for a half, they were right there with Georgia, right? It was an ugly game, low scoring, and then they get out score in the second half with some of the depth starts to come to the forefront. So yes, I do think Davo is being way too stubborn, and it's not like he has to turn into beyond Sanders and bring in 50 new players. He can just pick and choose five or six guys, bring them in at positions of need. No one will get upset. It won't disrupt the chemistry in the locker room, and they can hopefully get back to where their fan base wants to be. And that's being one of the national title contenders. See, the thing is, this is where it gets tricky. Clemson can be good. I just don't think they can be great until he adapts his mindset. Danny, which is the season wears on? Which games are you excited about? And I'm not asking specifically the games, but are you more like these big 10 teams traveling to like the old Pac 12 teams? Are you know, we got like Michigan going to Seattle to play art? Are you more excited about that? Or what's going on? Maybe in the SEC with Texas and Oklahoma, or even what's going on in the big 12 with some of these now across the country match ups? Jimmy, all of it, all of it. The one thing that I would like to see change, and we saw a lot of them on display this weekend, and it kind of hurts those smaller schools. I'm kind of done with the, you know, let's see, Ohio State play Akron is a 49 point favor. We saw multiple SEC teams put up 60 and 70 points versus FCS schools. I just, what I really would look forward to is when there's power for, which is what, you know, power for now is what we're calling it, where there's 10 power for games, you know, that's what you have on your schedule. And then you get two games where you can take a break. There are too many right now. The SEC still only plays eight. The ACC only plays eight conference games. And then a lot of them schedule lighter opponents and kind of pad your records. But the reason, you know, and I'm more old school. I didn't love seeing the Pac-12 dying. I don't like seeing losing some rivalry games, although we are getting back an incredible one in A&M in Texas. But I am a fan of the match ups. Like you could just go down the list and look at Penn State traveling to USC. Like that game is going to be phenomenal. Ohio State going to Oregon, you know, in October. There's match ups across the board. Bama, or excuse me, Georgia going to Texas, Georgia going to Alabama, which has already been there. But there's just so many games that are really key match ups. I just want more of them. I'm a little bit selfish because I'm like, let's get rid of some of these blowouts. Give me more of those match ups that are so compelling with some of those big brands going head to head. Well, we want more of a Danny Kannell talk in college football. We'll take it whenever we can. Danny, thank you so much. Enjoy the games, buddy. Oh, you guys are awesome. And great catching up. We'll talk to you soon. Enjoy the game this weekend. Salute Danny Kannell brought you by bed online.

It's brought you by reliant air conditioning gimmick free AC repair and replacement. Here's Brian. Thank you very much, Cheryl. I appreciate that. Thank you to reliant as well for being part of this. If you're new to the broadcast, this is the part where I take a look at the opponent, the weekly opponent for your Dallas Cowboys through the, through the offense generally on a Wednesday and the defense on a Thursday. And then we'll do the referees on Friday. So just try and get you ready for this broadcast this week coming up in the game. So hopefully you get something out of this. If you're into the podcasting scene, just got a new Bobby and I did a love of the star that's posted. So after our show today, feel free to give it a listen and tell us what you think. But we're really proud of what we've done there. And it should be three of those a week for you now that the season started. So hopefully everybody will take a, take a listen to that as well. Okay. This, this Cleveland Brown offense and in what the little bit of the, some of the struggles you'll go through early is because you don't have a lot of games. You have to go back and say, watch games. And what I did was I went back and watched the games where Deshawn Watson was actually healthy enough to play. And then he got hurt. So then you have to kind of deal with that, the shoulder problems and things that he was dealing with that caused him to miss the majority of the season last year. But I went back and watched the games that he was able to play and how the team responded. I will point this out that before we get going, I think yesterday I talked about this a little bit yesterday. Bless you, Eric, by the way. I do talk about running game modes is no longer being there for the Cleveland Browns. Yeah. Office of line coach Bill Callahan. Yeah. And, and so they've replaced him with a guy named Andy Dickinson and Andy was with them. He was with Seattle the last several years, but he was a guy that was at Cleveland and went on to beat Seattle's line coach and then they bring him back and they brought him back. So, you know, that's something that, you know, you keep an eye on with, I think Bill Callahan, I had the utmost respect for. I think that everywhere Billy's been, you know, with the exception of the head coach and stuff at Nebraska, he is when he's the offensive line coach, he's going to be creative and you're going to have a physical front. You're going to be able to run the football. He just, he just makes players better. And this crew right here is always run game, really never recovered. Yeah. I mean, they've Dallas had some really, some good players when you, you look back it with, with Ron Leary and Frederick and guys like that, but free, Doug free. I mean, he did. He took a, he took a group of guys that have talent, but boy, I mean, he made him even better. And I think he did the same thing to help this Cleveland Brown offensive line. But I'm going to talk about Deshaun Watson first, because when you look at Watson, the thing that I noticed with him is this, he's not always just accurate. He did have the, if you look at metrics, he was the fourth lowest when it came to completion percentage. He was at 45% when he was under pressure. So if you find ways to get to him, and I'm going to tell you a couple of ways I think you can get to him, but he's a guy that makes receivers work for the ball. He's got a really over the top throwing delivery as like he's up on his toes. And sometimes it causes the ball to sail on him a little bit. He's got some guys that, you know, I'm Mario Cooper. We all know, I'm Mario Cooper. He's a good bad ball catcher. There's several times you see guys running routes and he's throwing the ball and they're having to go down to get it. We're still in the ball. It's too high. He's got arm talent. There's no question. He just doesn't know where the ball's going to go. And what I have to think about, the Cowboys need to think about is you have to guard against his ability to scramble. That's, that's where I think that, that when Kevin Stafansky, the, you know, the head coach, primary play caller, Ken Dorsey's now in the building with them as a, as a coach, as the office coordinator, Ken Dorsey did a good job of working with, with, with Allen, Josh Allen and his accuracy problems in college. So I guess that's why you bring a guy in like this, trying, trying to help him become a more accurate quarterback. But I mentioned you have to guard against that scramble because he'll run out of the pocket if he senses trouble at all. You know, you have to bring him down in the pocket. This guy is strong enough to shake off poor tackling. You know, you get around him and all of a sudden it's an arm tackle. He'll just, he'll just push you aside and keep going. So you got to make it, make sure it's not a weak tackle. You get an opportunity to bring him down, bring him down. I felt like he could be a little late with the ball to the outside. It gives DB's the opportunity to drive on a lot of his passes. And I think it makes it far more contested catches than probably what you want from your quarterback. Mari Cooper, I mentioned him. We, he's going to play in the slot. He's also going to play in the outside. He's quick out of the break. He will lull you to sleep and then he'll just explode in his route. So how, how they match him up, maybe inside with some Jordan Lewis, you know, will Jordan Lewis be able to handle his quickness? Will Carson when they put him on the outside? When you look at Cooper, Cooper is one of the best receivers in the league when it comes to sideline catches. He works with such small space on the outside and you think you got him covered and he'll make a play. He'll just extend and then tap, tap out of bounce. He'll go. It's brilliant. The adjustment that he's He is. Don't you think that's the play for them? You get Mari Cooper matched up against the rookie and you pick on Carson until he knows he can cover you. I think to me, personally, the guy that I would pick on is Lewis is so I would pick on. I would put him. I would make Lewis have to cover all the ground and just let and let Cooper run route. Interesting. You know, when you, when you play the slot, you're more open to use. You can use the whole field. When you play on the outside, you tend to have to maybe sure they can use the sideline. I was telling you about Cooper. We've all seen him. It's his ability to adjust on the sidelines. It is really, really impressive. You know, he's, he's the best when you put him on those vertical routes, the post routes, the corner routes, the go routes. Those are routes that he really, really will excel out as well. But you know, this, this, I think where you look at maybe the place to attack this group. Now they've got some questions on their, their offensive line and they've got questions at their offensive tackles and their offensive tackle. When a Judrick, Will's, he's not been completely healthy with a knee and then Jack Conklin is another one that's been dealing with injury as well. They've struggled with that. DeWand Jones had been a backup last year and he played a lot of games for the, for the Browns last season. And he's a guy that if Conklin or that Willis can't go, then you'll see him in the action. So there's some questions about their offensive tackles availability. We got the injury report just a little bit ago. They were both limited in their reps to practice today. We'll just keep an eye on that. That's huge, man. I mean, questions with the health on the O line, shuffle and things around perhaps losing the best offensive line coach in the sport in this off season. You don't have Nick Chubb in the backfield. I understand the guy who's replacing him with solid last year. Yeah, Jerome Ford, but I mean, and then you factor in a bad quarterback. I mean, my gosh. Well, and Mary Kay cabin who was on this morning with Sean and RJ, neither of those tackles have practiced at all. Yeah. And you know what? That's, that's clearly the focus. I think if they do play, then we'll see how they're, how well they play without the reps that they've had for the training camps and things like that. I think that Willis is a better player than Conklin myself. When you watch him, he's gotten better. You watch him, the left tackle, the reps that he's taken and he could be pretty oppressive. He's very athletic with, and he's gotten better each year where I feel like you need to attack these guys. This is two spot. I don't think Wyatt Teller, the right guard is particularly good. I don't think he handles power all that well. And then Ethan Postik, the center, neither one of them, when they have to deal with combo blocks or they have to deal with twist stunts or any type of games inside, neither one of them play with very much strength. Welcome to Mike Zimmer's double a gap. I think that that's exactly, I would not be surprised. And both teams, I think are going to do this when both defenses, I could very well see covering these guards up and then letting like Ethan Postik go one-on-one with hat when they go with against Michael Parsons. Yeah. And Parsons see if he could win that match up with him because we've seen the double a gap blitz stuff with Zimmer. But if, and I think the Browns are going to do the same thing to the BB, I think they're going to cover both your guards and put, and then, and put, you know, and put Garrett on that, on that over the center. Well, Stefanzky was Zim's OC in Minnesota. Right. So they know each other very, very well. They do know each other well. And, but to me, it's the right guard in the center of the two guys that I kind of feel like you need to attack on this offensive line. When you, when I feel like that they're tied in is a good player. David and Joku, I think is a good player where you're going to deal with him is in the flat mainly. That's where a lot of his catches are boots, swaggles screen. Screen game is huge for these guys. And I have a feeling with Watson, if they're going to try and kind of make him feel comfortable, just they're going to have to, they're going to have to understand that David and Joku, it's block, block, block, and then get out. He's block blocking, you know, so now you're kind of lulled to sleep thinking he's going to stay in and protect. And now he's out in the flat and they're going to catch the ball. But he's a guy that's really, really good at catching it, getting up the field. He's an athletic tight end. And he can make some things happen for the running back. They'll do things. They'll get you an 11 personnel. They'll try and spread you out and then hand the ball to these backs and let them just work off that. A lot of that zone blocking stuff where they'll get it's a gap to them and then they'll just take that gap and then they'll let the backs cut off that. So a lot of different things they could do. But I think losing their line coach will hurt them. The questions of some health at the tackle, the lack of accuracy, a quarterback and some weakness on the inside at their positions at their guard in their center. I think that bodes well for the Cowboys in this matchup. Well, thank you, Brian. Thank you for getting some great reaction on text of the 817. I think Brian just said we're about to face Trey Lance. And I'm good with that. Brought us as the goat says the 214 with the info been looking forward to the pregame analysis during the week. It is back. What are we doing tomorrow, Brian? That would be the Browns defense. And I've already taken a peek at them. And so said there's going to be some things you think that you have some advantages on against their offense. That would be true. They've had some advantages against you on their defense. So it'll be it'll be something we'll talk about tomorrow and we'll get into that tomorrow at 340 here in the nation brought you by a real client. Little sports hodgepodge coming up, chief. Yes, sir. Let the gamesmanship begin in Ann Arbor plus a new installment of why you got to bring up old stuff next year in
