What a difference three weeks makes we did the draft three
weeks ago. The awards in which we feel the most confident, and
we were very confident in most of these and three weeks later.
Hey,
that's why they play the games. That's why the odds change
every week. Intervening circumstances, cause shakeups
in
our picks and our confidence level in what our pics would be
for these Awards. So let's do it again. Let's have
the awards. We feel most confident in as week 18. Trish have
a trivia question for me. The people out there, who love
the trivia questions. Here Comes Your happy now. I'm glad I'm
glad you hung with us
for nearly two hours.
You get a trivia question
Chris. All right, here we go. For the last five Defensive
Rookie of the Year winners attended, the same College.
Which one is that
Mike? Oh God, Alabama's. I mean just Alabam. I all bam. You
should have took a second. You would have now base. It's Ohio,
State's Ohio State. I just figured it's Alabama because
everybody comes the whole, damn, right? So what do you
got?
Nick boson looking?
At the list. Both BOCES Chase young won it last year, right?
Yeah, both bosses want to ride. So we got Joey to get him
before that and then
Lattimore Marshawn! That Amor Marshall! Adam. Alright.
Alright, I just thought Alabama because it's just Alabama
everywhere, just brought tonnage of players in the NFL.
The odds are. It's going to go that way. All right, you get
the first pick. Take someone from Ohio State and not from
Penn State. No. Well, I mean, the one I feel most confident
and more than any despite, huh barking shit.
Stupid argument. Is that my Aaron Rodgers,
again? Not a fan of some of the things Aaron Rodgers did this
year has no
off. The field has nothing to do with this award. Absolutely.
Nothing. This is about what you do on the football field,
Rogers is more valuable to his team
than any other quarterback in the league right now. I'm in to
me, you know,
he's in the, it's
him Mahomes Allen.
The team is, it's all about them and what they do.
And we Saw I mean again first off the first game of the year.
Yeah. He didn't play. Well, they've lost. All right, they
we saw how important he was without him in Kansas City. And
I know that was to his own doing to a degree but it showed
how important he was to that football team,
you know, and then just the absolute tear he's gone on.
I mean really since week, two, or since week two, it's what 35
touchdowns and two interceptions. That's insane.
And the best record in football MVP.
See, I'm not as confident. Yeah, because of the fact that
That because of that, huh, Barca xie set out loud, right?
What plenty of Voters may be thinking and actually Hub our
cash may have done Aaron Rodgers, a hell of a favor
because there may be
email sent today, but you know, now minding right vote and any
of the voters who were thinking about not voting for Roger
because of it. And I thinking, now, you know, these votes are
going to come out and I'm going to get called out. I'm going
to get called Hub. Are ksh
2.0 for not voting for Aaron Rodgers. So I'm more confident
in it today than I was yesterday. Because I think
there's some people out there don't want to vote for him.
You're gonna Give me the Michael Parsons free squares
peacock. Yeah, I like yeah, that's a rookie.
I wanted to go off on the rod will even say anything. All
right, he's clean sir. The odds are like - 10,000 for Michael
Parsons. It's Michael Parsons. Yeah, right. It is, it is.
All right. The, the next one I feel most confident about
is offensive rookie of the year
because I think that officially went to Jamar Chase last week.
We're like man 34 weeks ago. I want to go nuts and it's Mac
Jones, but when you
Off the season. The way Jamar Chase has and you do that in
like a national Spotlight game against, you know, the team
who's been the king of the AFC, for the last four years.
That's, that's remarkable.
I mean, damn, these LSU receivers. Justin Jefferson
breaks. The rookie record last year. Jamar, Chase comes in
the league and goes out one up. You old teammate
phenomenal. I'm gonna go with him there.
And similar reasoning. TJ W showing up with Force acts on
Ben Roethlisberger night when everyone was watching and now
he's one shy of the all-time single-season record asterisk.
Michael Strahan. Thanks to Brett Favre. I think TJ W one,
the defensive player of the year award
for himself, on Monday night, ending the debate with Michael
Parsons, who will get obviously the Defensive Rookie of
the Year, Aaron Donald Trayvon digs, whoever else you want
to throw in there. I think TJ W
wanted on Monday night.
All right, here we go. Round three of the awards in which we
feel most confident Chris, you are up. Yeah, there's some good
ones out here, but I'm coach of the year I think is officially
in the bag for at least me.
And that's where I mean, Matt LaFleur. I think I'll pick him
deserves it. I mean, come on, we gotta go start giving
the guy a little credit here. You know, I know, he's, it's
the Packers and it's Aaron Rodgers, but man, he's,
he's dealt with 33
years in a row of just offseason term.
Turmoil and issues and it has not affected their team at all.
And then under his tutelage.
Aaron Rodgers has,
you know, two of the better years of his career.
So I mean, I just look at that, the results on the field
the way he's managed things. Come on, that will flourish gotta
win coach of the year.
Yeah. Look,
this is one of those situations where it's supposed to be based
on this year. But the fact that he was 13 and three each of
the last two years, while Zack Taylor. The Bengals coach was
struggling and almost
Really, possibly got fired after two years.
That's going to be a
Difference Maker. I think
Vines of. So, what would I do?
Yeah, that my floor deserves. It. He deserves it. He got
ignored the first two years of his career. He's been the one
constant in a stew of dysfunction in Green Bay,
right? The go between
the, the official
who is trying to separate the two boxers and move them to
their neutral corners and then, find a way to get everybody to
work together and
it's been amazing
what they've done. So, right now, the betting odds at least
as of They may have changed, but it was plus 155 for each of
the two. And that's what it is right now, currently format
LaFleur,
and Zack Taylor, but I think it's I agree with you. I think
it's the floor. Well, this is what I don't like about. This
is just that, like, well, they won the game on Sunday against
the Chiefs and now he's coach of the year. But if they lost
the game, he was going to be nowhere near the top of
the list
and maybe not in the playoffs.
That's where it's flawed.
We got to stop being so like,
you know, that's where I'm a little flawed even with the TJ
W thing. I know it's an unbelievable year, but we've
spent more weeks talking about Michael Parsons.
Did you shows you what the betting markets do? Ya betting
markets are driven by who's betting and who they're betting
on. So they see what happens on Sunday.
It's a big win in the immediate aftermath. They have recency
bias, and they bet on the Bengals weren't even in
the playoffs until they won that game. I think it is. Yes.
I read. We're on the same know. I know I
would feel me. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. Ivan Cooper cups, the offensive player of the year,
even though Jonathan Taylor continues to be the betting
favorite because I think that when the dust settles on
Sunday, he's going to have one if
Both of those records always going to be damn close to them.
Just a normal average day form is going to put him damn close.
And if he sets either of those records, he's the guy. So
Cooper cup offensive player of the year and it's surprising to
me that he's not the betting favorite Chris. Yeah, I agree
with you there to, I would probably give them the edge
over Jonathan Taylor
who I love and think is phenomenal. But Cooper cups,
been a been great.
