Invisalign. You can catch all the hardware listed here
going home starting at 9 p.m. Eastern on NBC and NFL Network
streamed live on peacock. Let's start off by talking
about some of these Awards.
Matthew, let's start off with offensive Rookie of the Year
and Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Now, Defensive Rookie of the Year. I don't want to spoil
the suspense on this one, but Source Gardner is going to To
win
this award and Hutchinson and Tariq Wallen. They are also
nominated, but the fact that Source Garden was first-team.
All-Pro
suggests, he is going to win. Don't think there's much
suspense in know when you've been saying bet. This bet this
bet this throughout the year so no suspense and sauce Gardner
you know
offensive rookie year. Rookie of the year is an interesting
one, right? Because
by a pure numbers standpoint,
Garrett Wilson or Kenneth Walker should be the guy.
Yeah, probably just don't know how you go against Brock party
when he goes 6 and 0 in the regular season. Yeah, I think
there are just too many people who are going to say basically
that you know, he only played six games of the alley started
five games and that's just going to be a deal breaker.
The fact that, you know, just these other guys, I mean,
Garrett Wilson, played every game, kind of walk it in play
every game, but he played the vast majority of the season.
I think the brought birdie should win, I think he deserves
to win. I think that six games of elite quarterback play is
more valuable but my best guess on this one would be that
ultimately Garrett Wilson wins. Seems
like he's got the majority of support but I think Kenneth
Walker is
is the one who could potentially
surprise. Let's let's jump to
0 p, 0 y, + DP 0 y offensive player of the year and
defensive player of the year. Now Defensive Player of
the Year, Matthew, I think this is, this is Nick BOCES award. It's
gotta be,
yeah. It's got to be, I mean, look, Look if Michael Parsons
wins no one's going to sit there and bat an eye and go
like what that guy.
But yeah, I think it's got to be Nick poza yes, Nick bars. Do
when you get when you look at the The Old Pro voting
fact that he led the league in sacks on the best defense in
the NFL. I mean he closed the season you couldn't even bet on
him by week a team because he was such a lock offensive
player of the year, maybe a little bit more suspense. But
again, I think this is Justin Jefferson's award.
Yeah. You know what I mean? If Jalen hurd's hadn't missed
those. Those two games.
I don't know.
It's rare to doesn't go to a quarterback, right? Wow. 50/50
I don't think there are enough voters now, who will like MVP
is the Quarterback Award? Let's,
let's give
offensive player of the year to a skill position player. Last
year was it was just Jonathan, Taylor versus Cooper carp.
There was no real,
no real quarterback Contender despite a lot of great
quarterback season. So I think it's going to be Justin
Jefferson. He closed the heavy favorite. He was flirting with
the receiving record for a time, obviously not
the greatest end of the season but I think he banked
enough Good Will that that he will likely win.
Let's get the code actually. Should be. I mean, it's I think
it'll be between him and him and Jalen hurts. I think so
too. Yeah, I think that I think hurts will finish second Tyree
kill. He tailed off. He got injured. He was the favorite
for much of the season but
I think it will be Jefferson one hurts too. Alright, Coach
of the Year. This is the one that's most wide open. I think
so. Those were the five that were announced initially.
Short list has since been trimmed to Brian De Vil, Doug
Peterson and Kyle Shanahan. We're col, Shanahan show,
right? I'm sure
our previous guest device, Samuel would agree. But what's
crazy is that Pete. Carroll isn't even on this list, please
Carol. And I'm not even a big Pete Carroll fan as you know,
but Pete Carroll should be on this list.
I agree. Carol should be on that list. So it means crazy to
me that he's not and
there's, I think a little bit of revisionist History around
the Giants whose win total preseason was actually seven,
right? And people are thinking that it's like, oh, they're win
totals for and a half and then we're gonna be competing with
the Texans for the number one, pick
the Giants had. I mean, they're not the most talented team out
there, but they had enough that their win. Total was seven.
They go to winds and the tie over the wind total.
But yeah, I think Pete Carroll who exceeded
his preseason win total, by more than table.
He should have got more love.
I think it'll come down to table and Shanahan. I still
think ultimately Shanahan wins, just because the new voting
system, is you get to put three names on the ballot. I think
Shanahan's going to be on pretty much every ballot where
some people are going to be like, well, Brian table, only
19 games and finished. Third in his division, is that really
a top-three coach of the year.
So I think Shanahan ultimately wins, but could certainly
be Brian table, it could be, but it should be Kyle Shanahan
like this, right? I agree with you there. It's revisionist
history going on and like Kyle, Shanahan went six and 0
with Brock party
with mr. Not just a rookie quarterback. Not just
third-string, quarterback. Literally the last guy picked
and the NFL draft. And again, I mean we mix here on another
Coach of the Year finalist when towing to with his backup
quarterback
Gardner, Minshew who has started games in the NFL.
Yeah, exactly. And
He got to the NFC championship game
with Brock party and at Brockport. He doesn't get hurt.
Who knows how that game turns out. Yeah, and the other thing
that too is that people don't realize that. Call Shanahan
actually exceeded his win total preseason by more than Brian De
Bal exceeded. His, the Niners, their win total was
nine and a half to ten wins. They go 13 and 4. And oh, by
the way, do it with ya. The last pick in the draft is
a rookie the third's different starting quarterback for that
same. So I think Shannon deserves to
win. I think it's close to a coin flip with him and Dave,
a lot of support for New York media does a lot for you in
these Awards, Matthew. So
cracked like live by the sword Die By The Sword. Like New York.
New York media is really tough, but if you win,
they love you. Yeah, exactly. Like, pull you up. Let's also
talk about MVP.
It's gonna be too much suspense on this one. Unfortunately,
think Jalen hurd's his injury and Patrick. My arms is
finished to the year effectively decided. That once
we take a look at the finalists, Josh Allen
was the favorite for much of the Season.
Joe Barbaro. I think if you didn't have that rough start to
the year where he Through five picks and Week 1, then losses
to the Cowboys week two, I think that if you didn't have
that side he would have been a bit more in the mix
jail and hurts. Who was the front-runner with a month to go
but then gets hurt. Justin Jefferson who I don't think
it's going to factor in after his enter the season. And then
Pat Therese
Mahomes through I think ultimately is going to win with
relative ease. I think it's going to be my homes and it's
going to be a bit of a landslide but just the fact
that Justin Jefferson is on the MVP list. Certainly, you know,
gives you confidence about him, winning offensive player of
the year. The only thing I wonder, Sometimes you're like,
you know, like you watch the Oscars and you're like, you
know, they give they give best screenplay like why they give
him a best screenplay and like, they needed to give this movie
something. Yeah, they want to give this movie something. And
so there's a part of me that sort of feels like they need to
give Jalen hurt something.
Right? And he's not going to win MVP. So could they give
them offensive player of the year? Yeah, over a wide
receiver. Just because you
you want to acknowledge somehow
this great season that Jalen hurts had that
I don't know. Somebody on this show and by somebody I mean me
called the Very beginning of the year. Yeah, August 5th for
anyone else. I think on national TV, it's going to be
a little winded. The Eagles finished with the best record
in the league. And I think that there are
ya, as we Pat ourselves on the back. Yeah,
let I don't think they're gonna get any award this next arianny
with those two losses that knocked him out of Coach of
the Year at the end. So yeah, nothing for the Eagles. Most
likely unless hurts does get offensive player of the year
just quickly on comeback player. Then watch them win
the Super Bowl like there. Weren't
if they went, if they win Awards tonight, Be a little bit
of like
they didn't believe in us, you know the oldest Bill Simmons.
No One believed in us
you know thing in the like, they'll be like oh yeah, come
on. We didn't win any awards.
