Monday, any game you want to pick one of the matchups?
You're looking for Chris. Well, I'm gonna go to one that we
haven't hit on yet that I think you know, kind of sneaky good
and that's
and I know they don't there's not against each other but it's
we're all going to talk about it. Like that is when it's
verse hurts Washington and just that that combination, what's
once going to look like against his old team and really, you
know, added to
that, the downfall of Wentz is when they drafted Jalen
Hurts in the second round.
It just gave everybody in Philadelphia. Soon, as once
played good, I was playing him, let's do that. So you know
I just did the the
the Intrigue around that whence has been playing pretty good.
They got a good passing offense. We know hurts in
the Eagles are good too so I'm just excited I guess to see The
Showdown of the quarterbacks there and how that kind of goes
and how we all talk
about it after
I was tempted to go, Josh Allen versus to otavalo because it's
quarterback Showdown and maybe there's something there, maybe.
Beginning of a new rivalry I gotta go to a versus the bills
defensive line though. Because remember last year it was early
in the season Bills
and Dolphins to a got hit hard. He had the rib injury. They're
not broken, they are broken and they didn't have Von Miller.
Last year we were talking earlier about
how the Rams don't have him again. Skylar Marie will. Now
the bills do have him against to a tongue of Allah
and I think how to add deals with that pass. Rush is going
to be critical making. Is quickly getting rid of the ball
not getting hit because we saw last year, the Bills, derailed
the early part of his season when they got together. I think
in week 2.
Yeah, no, no doubt. And that's where it is.
It's where it's interesting too. Because,
you know, I've broken this down pretty hard
the bills because they're good on the dean line now, and
they're really legit up there. They don't have to do quite as
much blitzing or, you know, Edmonds and Matt Milano up at
the line of scrimmage and a gap between.
Cause we got to help our guys get a little Advantage. They
can just go back and play football and attack the ball
that way too. They're much more dangerous on that side of
the ball that I think gives them a better chance to
maybe contain some of this stuff. So we'll see how that
goes. It's,
you know, like we talked about earlier I think it's the game
of the week and firm for my money.
I'll go. I'm going to go back to like the San Francisco, our
game on Sunday night, Shanahan Denver more like Shanahan
versed donnatal. I guess that's where
I'll know it's so I'm always get this mixed up because he
used to be In Turkey Day, Ever out there I know EJ ever. Oh
excuse me. I know I because Ed that one point was there.
They're all from the fangio tree and I get them
mixed up in my brain for whatever EJ ever. Uh, Broncos
defense has been pretty damn good. They have but they
haven't played an offense like this. Yet it's been Geno Smith
and Davis Mills. They had a deal with and like we talked
about what Shanahan his X's and O's
all the things they make you think about, right. You know,
can they make the proper adjustments and deal with all
the stuff and then Yeah, it's not the trail ants offense. You
got to go back to last year and watch Jimmy G, and and all
that, that's
something I'm extremely
interested to see.
You mentioned Hertz with your first pick. And
originally at dawn, until with your second pick inadvertently,
we saw hurts carve up at Donna tells current defense in
Minnesota. I'm gonna see what Jared Goff does against that
Vikings defense. Because it was just about four years ago to
the day
that the Vikings went
to Los Angeles and golf destroyed them. Dismantle them
again. It's a different look. Now, it's different Personnel,
Anthony bars. Not there to try to cover receivers and running
backs, right?
Shouldn't be that. Yeah. But
but Jared Goff,
you know, it felt like he was always, a short-term answer for
the Lions
but maybe he, yeah, give them doors. With bragging, is
a little bit of a rebirth for him, and this is an opportunity
to stick it to the Vikings. And that Series has become
barnburner. Ville.
Great game last year in Minnesota. Great game in
Detroit. Maybe we'll get a great game on Sunday, all
right. take a break round three of the week 3 matchup Draft
when PFT live presented by Google pixel continues, right
after this,
Last round the matchup draft for week. 3 of the 2022, NFL
regular season. Chris, what do you got? Gosh, that Jaguars
d-line verse Chargers. All lines intriguing Lamar verse
Belichick's, intriguing, we kind of hit on those. So I just
want to give
a little curveball
and feel free to hit those if you want.
But but about the Andy Reid, be enemy
verse Gus Bradley with the Colts
because Gus Bradley.
Where did he come from
the Raiders, right?
The Raiders are one of the first teams that kind of gave
the Kansas City offense problems, right? We're oh my
God. Scott Bradley might have figured something out. Well,
the the Chiefs figured something out and they
absolutely tore apart that defense last year
and you know that defense Gus Bradley. He's the inventor of
the Seattle scheme, right? They don't change a whole lot and
I just want to go and they don't change a whole lot.
They're going to be in
big trouble because last year, it was what they scored over 40
points in both games and Mahomes. Looked like
Unstoppable. So that's where I want to see if the Colts want
to win a game here.
I do think they got to adjust the way they Gus Bradley has
played against Kansas City.
Yeah. And like, I think that they got far bigger issues with
that offense in Indianapolis. We talked about, Matt, Ryan
earlier, is it possible that he has just lost it? Yeah. Is it
just over? Is it done? Is he reached a point where
he no longer has it
in him physically to get it done?
I could go a lot of different directions here and I don't
like to repeat things. Already discussed, but I am fascinated
by what calamari does against the Rams out here against
Aaron, Donald and Company,
because he was so ordinary last year.
It was so glaring,
we were kind of surprised, the Cardinals were willing to make
the huge financial commitment because the last thing we saw
from Colin Murray was his worst game ever
at any level of football.
So this is kind of a chance for him to exorcise some demons
to right the ship again. And we sought and
Kliff Kingsbury suddenly had this realization Chris.
I just like calamari do what? He does best and get out of
the way. Yeah, we great players like that with rare, special
talents, like that. That's all a coach can do
is just say, go, do your thing and the more the Cardinals do
that the better off, they're going to be right and play to
the strengths of your team, to
your point and play to where your money is on your team
where it's all over there.
So, I'm with you and let you know you disgusted. The Rams
defense hasn't looked the same there. Is no. Von Miller.
Well will they be able to contain him? This is a be a big
one but I'm with you there. There's there's some good,
there's some good games this weekend. It's going to be a fun
one. That's for sure.
Really good games for week 3 and coming up later today. The
joint megapix podcast in which Chris and I will pick every
single game and hopefully get more than a few. Right? This
time.
We'll see you later. Everybody have a great Thursday. Yeah.
