Well, looky, what we got here. I've got a new friend in
person. It's my man Jay Croucher from points bed.
Always appreciate Point spent love with Chris Simms
unbuttoned. What's up, buddy?
Good to be here in person man. There's some pus right? Finally
like we don't have to like do a zoom thing and I get to
actually see what you're looking. You're actually you're
handsome. All right, you're handsome. All right. That's as
far as I'll go.
All right. Now, let's get into some football.
He ready soon. I want.
A hit on Defensive Player of the Year. Like
it's a year. That's weird. It's kind of gone to the
the Aaron Donald award for the last few years where you just
like well, it's Aaron Donald number one. He's not going to
get it this year, you know, but
you know, what do you look at it right now, how it stands?
And where do you think this is all going to how it's going to
all play out as far as that Awards concern? Yeah. So really
weird award this year malls, coward is the Clea firebird and
it's largely just because he's miles guard. Yeah,
the pedigrees, you'll force and sacks, which leads the lake,
but
the past 14 years. This award has gone to it.
Apply on a winning team. Yes, a good chance. Cleveland. Don't
get the hynerian at I'll Spin and so if he doesn't have
a winning record, then you have to look at the other guys. And
Trayvon Diggs is right there in the market, trayvon's eggs
would be a phenomenal points back client, is one of
the great gamblers
and he feels he goes for the ball, right? And he also gets
burned right law. And so a lot of the advanced numbers, I like
travelling digs
and then you start to look elsewhere, TJ. W Really banged
up. Aaron, Donald doesn't have the stats. Matt Jude on Jesse
Jackson. I think that thou cannibalize each other. Yeah,
a little bit. No doubt a truth. I hear you. And so the guy that
we're looking at the we think is
a little bit underrated by the masses is Nick Bosa. Ms. +
1000. I like where your head's at. Nick Barbosa. Yeah. Walk
going on here with him where? Yeah. It's got 11 sacks. That's
false in the legs. Got a game in hand on guard and Jude
on. He leads the league in tackles for loss, the Niners of
this resurgent same. He's going to be in the headlines. No
doubt. Next two weeks, Russell Wilson, Joe borrow good.
Quarterbacks. They also adore getting sacked. Yes. They do.
He has a chance to really
Cup numbers coming off the torn ACL as well. Yeah. All
the narrative in the world. So I think Nick bars. The might be
the guy I really like that. You went there. I do. I think he
would be one of my dark horses because not getting enough.
Immediate immediate attention got off to a little bit of
a slow start because coming off of the ACL injury,
but I think you're right all the stars, kind of aligned for
that story and everything work in a positive way. The miles
Garrett, fast
story, fascinates me,
you know, because you're right, they could end up not making
the playoffs very rare to see Defensive Player of the Year,
like and that Category. But he is a physical freak and
with five games left and already at 14 sacks. I go. Oh
my gosh, he could have 20, you know, do you know anybody else
that jumps out to you outside of those two? Like I'll give
you just one like I like the JC Jackson thing if they can
continue to stay hot and he gets a few more interceptions
and forces a fumble.
I think he is in the conversation for best corner in football.
What I don't want to see is Trayvon digs. I don't, he does
not deserve to be in the defensive player of the year
conversation. Interceptions, he gets burnt more than toast. So
I don't like that. Okay,
that didn't to me does not qualify for that award.
One of the one I want to throw out here to you. All right,
we talked about them before with Defensive Rookie of
the Year. There we go. But Micah Parsons if the Dallas Cowboys
and he's not even on this list right now,
but at the Dallas Cowboys got hot.
He's got nine sacks. We know how awesome he is a middle
linebacker.
Do you think there'd be any chance for him to kind of
Up in this conversation. He's the one because he is going to
have a choc-ice and with the why that all the attention that
he got on Thanksgiving as well. Where Romo is already declared
him as the offensive Rookie of the Year. That's Don we have
probably
is right, but now that the fact that he's got nine sacks as
a linebackers and credible credible and if they finish
heart and get some interceptions, he runs a couple
back then he'll have to be in the conversation. But yeah,
I think it's
people going to have such a blocker so many voters are just
not going to see him as a candidate because they're going
to vote for rookie of the year. Yeah. So funny. Do it in
the NBA right now. Evan mobile is the same thing where he's
actually in the mix for defensive player of the
year, but he'll just win rookie of the year. Yeah, and sorry
that is a blocker. So it'll be interesting to see how that
plays out. But you know, I think you're right with Trayvon
digs. Certainly where I think the Parsons is the better
candidate on that team. Yes. With digs the
the iconic play for him is that
he runs a back against the Patriots.
Next play gets better 75.
Exactly right on digs in a nutshell,
it all back. 100%. I think Parsons is a guy who could
stop. To build some momentum. Yeah, it's going to be
interesting award. There is no standout guy. Miles Garrett.
I would agree with like what
you kind of said, he's miles Garrett.
He's probably is the most talented defensive player of the year,
but the Nick bow someone that you brought up to me
that I'd be the one if I had some extra change. I think
I throw it on both sides. I think the 49ers are going to continue
to go on an upward Trend. I think they're still a team that
can win the Super Bowl. Yes. I'm going to say that
and you know, they they let their defense ends rush
the passer period, they don't Montgomery. About too much
else.
So this is why they pay this guy, the big bucks right here.
I think that's a good call by you, and bringing up Nick Bosa
again defensive player of the year. We'll see how it,
you know, works out. I don't know. It's a crazy year in
the NFL. It's crazy for some of the MVP Defensive Player of
the Year conversation, but continue to check my man, Jake, Roger
out on points. Bet, check me out on Kristen's unbuttoned.
Peace out. See you next time.
