The hosts of the podcast are discussing their predictions for the AFC South division in the NFL. They all agree that the Jacksonville Jaguars will win the division, with predicted records ranging from 10-7 to 13-4. They also mention their thoughts on the Houston Texans, Indianapolis Colts, and Tennessee Titans. They discuss potential trades and roster changes for these teams. Overall, they believe the AFC South is a weak division. 3...2...1... Welcome to the RTS Podcast. We are Ryan. And I'm Trenton. And I am Sean. We want to welcome you for joining us today as we take you into the world of sports, music, life, food, and whatever else we come up with for today. And now, welcome to the first official episode, guys. Everybody doing alright? Yeah. Everybody doing alright? I'm still trying to figure out what to do with no baseball. Oh, I know. I know it's only been two days, and it's back tomorrow, but it's just like, I don't know. You can't believe they go through this many games this fast, and it's already middle of July. Yeah. 80 plus games left, or really 72 games left, not bad. Time for some playoffs and playoffs and cold front, you know what I mean? Yep, and let's end the Otani trade talks, because it's going to start to turn into the Dak Prescott contract talk. Or Aaron Rodgers retiring talk, or now I guess we can throw the Saquon Barkley talk into this. Right. But anyways, alright, so what we're going to do... I wouldn't say it's that bad. No, they'll get them signed, but anyways. Otani, I do feel like, is going to every team, just about. Everyone, well I mean... Going to the Yankees, going to the Rangers, going to the Braves, going to the Dodgers. Okay. He will play somewhere, but it won't be Anaheim. Right. It will not be Anaheim. Alright, so today's episode, we are going to be breaking down all the NFL divisions, giving you the wins, the first place winners, the last place losers, and teams that are going to surprise a few, some that are going to disappoint. But I think that it's going to be interesting, because every year, for the last, I don't know how long, at least like five to six to seven teams who didn't make the playoffs last year, make it this year. So, where do you start? The AFC is tougher than the NFC, I think. I mean, all the... I agree. You know, so I... Yeah, for sure. Stronger, at least. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Stronger at the top, no doubt. Alright, so what we're going to do is, we're going to fire up, and guys, who wants to go first? Fire up the list here, is that correct? Yeah, let's go. Well, hold on. We can't do this without... There you go. There you go. It can't be official without the Fox News. I know. I don't like CBS anyways, so... Yeah, you got to give them the football news. And ESPN has no one left to make the theme songs for the NFL, so we'll have to go with Fox. Alright, there you go. There you go. Alright. There you go. So, now we are to the AFC, and let's start in the AFC South. They each chose the buck over the boomer, huh? The what? They each chose the buck over the boomer. That's right. That's right. There is the NFC, so please hold on. Okay. Alright. Alright. So, first up, AFC South. Ryan, top to bottom, bottom to top, however you want to do it. Okay, I'll start at the top, of course. I actually have the Jaguars winning the division. It's... Honestly, it's a shitty division. I'll be honest. It's pretty weak to me, at least. I have the Jags going 10 and 7, winning the division. Colts, I have them in second place. Actually, Texans, sorry, in second place, 6 and 11. I do like the Texans. I think they're going to improve. I like the 49ers coach they got there, D'Amico Ryan. D'Amico Ryan, yep. Yeah, he's a former Texan. D'Amico, beautiful. I think they'll do a good job there. After that, I have the Colts going 5 and 12. Richardson will make them better. I know. I think they'll still be competitive. I just don't think they'll be better than 5 and 12. And then Titans, I have 5 and 12, too. You know, I don't know what's going to happen with Derrick Henry. I don't know what's going to happen with Tannehill. But Lord knows, I don't see either of them with the Titans by the end of the season. So, I don't know what ends up with that. But Jags, strong team, playoff team. Last year, Lawrence, I see, is getting better every year. They bolstered up their running back game. I just don't think anyone in that division is going to compete with them. They'll compete with them, but I don't really see anyone beating them. So, that's my instinct. So, with your Titans, you said Tannehill and Henry gone. Is this before season or during? It'll be during, I think. It'll be during. I think at some point, Henry gets traded, something is going to happen. I would dare to say he's going to be released, but I don't think he will. I think he'll get traded at some point for something. He'll go somewhere. Tannehill, on the other hand, I could see him getting cut. So, I'm just being like, look, it's time to move on. We got to, you know, we're not winning with them. And, you know, obviously our backup, you know, Willis kind of sucks, too. So, you're going to roll? You're Mike Braybill, and you're rolling into the season, or during the season, with Willis, Malik Willis, and Willis. Yeah. He must have some really good job security. So, anyways. I don't know if they get rid of Braybill, but they might. Oh, he's a great coach. He is such a good coach. Yeah, he's a good coach, man. I think it's just one of those days you're probably going to have to come into a rebuild mode. Because, like you said, if you release Henry, you're not going to be able to get anything for him. So, you might as well get something for him if you're not going to be competitive this year. Yeah. They're going to trade him to the playoff team for something. I could see, like, the Bengals or something making a play for him, possibly. I'm just wondering if he ends up throwing out there. Even the Chargers, honestly. You know, I know they have that clear, but they want the power guy. Man, that would be a sick deal right there. Why not have Thunder and Lightning right there? So, you know, Chargers, Thunder, Lightning. That's already been done. Okay? That's already been done. Let's move on. Let's move on. All right. T, what you got for the AFC South? All right. I have the Jags winning the division. I got them at 11-6. I think they're a pretty solid squad. They've added some pieces to that team. Even bringing back someone like Ridley to help give them depth on the wide receiver side. And I also think they have a good coach down there, too. Being that Trevor Lawrence is what, his third year now? Yeah, I just kind of think they made the playoffs last year. Again, probably won the strong division. But at the same time, they competed with some people that were a lot stronger teams. So, I kind of like the chance to do that at 11-6. Next, I kind of got a little surprised with the Texans. I kind of had their feelings on me. Okay. Nine and eight. Oh, wow. Wow. Okay. I like that. All right. I mean, Young is going to be. He's got Stroud. He's got Stroud. I'm so sorry. I am so sorry. Yeah, Stroud. I think he's going to eventually take over. I mean, whether he starts or not, it's not going to be long before he's in there. They don't really have any other option. I mean, the dude that's been there, I can't remember his name off the top of my head, but he's done okay. But, no, I think they can go out there and surprise the team. Based on the size of that division, it's not very strong. So, I think they can win some of their games in the division. Davis Mills. There you go. Replacing Davis Mills. Yeah, Davis Mills. He was one of my favorite quarterbacks last year. I had to pick him up a couple times, too. I did. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. We're all good. And then I'll have the Colts. And I'm going to have them at 8-9. I think Richardson and company can get some stuff done. I think their record can be better. I just, after watching the season last year, did they make a promise to that offensive line? Did they really go and get other weapons to help create things? I don't know. Is Jonathan Taylor going to be healthy? Yeah, I think Taylor's going to be healthy. But, again, they can't rely on him. If they did a couple years ago, that was a line where he got through and didn't get all that much. And last year, man, it just showed. You get dinged up a little bit, man, or you run the ball as much as they did or rely on them as much as you do. You know, he's going to take a few hits sometimes. They can really, like, set it back. So, the Texans and Colts, I think, can flop. And then, yeah, I've got the Titans down there, 5-12. They can surprise people, I guess. If Tannehill's being a veteran and Jaren Kempner being a veteran and Braille being a good coach with a good defense, they can turn that stuff around. But I don't have a lot of faith in him. And he could be one of those things where they might lose a lot of close games, too, if they either blew a lead or maybe even simply just couldn't keep up kind of thing. Okay. So, yeah, I've got my style back. Boy, both of you guys high on the Texans. I think I'm a surprise team. Good coach. I don't know. Somebody's going to have to shock the AFC somewhere. Yeah. I think they're not in it next year. Not this year, but I think next year I could see them. I don't know about this year. Next year, they don't have their first-round pick because they traded back up from where they dropped Will Anderson. So, the Cardinals, who we'll get to later, might control that whole first round next year. That's interesting. Yeah. All right. So, I will go and go ahead and make it a tree shake or sweep with the Jags winning the division. But I actually have them at 13-4. All right. Because of the division, it is awful. I'm looking at it, head coach, quarterback. Trevor Lawrence, Doug Peterson, Super Bowl winning coach. Okay. I just like you said earlier, Trenton Trevor. T-T? T-T? Trenton Trevor. Trenton Trevor. All right. Lawrence is growing. Trevor is growing. He is keeping that beautiful mop of hair, wonderfully conditioned. And he's just getting better. Thank you, Trevor. And then, you know, it's like you said with Ridley coming back. I mean, the guy had 1,300 yards. I hope he won on that bet, by the way, that made him miss a year. But is he going to be reliable? Because the year before he left the team, he didn't come back. He had some mental health issues to deal with. I agree. But, I mean, the guy is uber talented. And then Trevor had a great connection with Chark. Evan Ingram finally performed, you know. Travis Etienne. I mean, loads of. Wait, Chark's on the lines, or he was? Was it Chark? I don't know where he is. No, Zay Jones. My bad. Zay Jones. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Christian Kirk had a phenomenal year. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, so offense, I don't think. So, left tackle, suspended first four games for drug use. The offensive line was one of the worst in the league last year. So, that's where I worry about the Jags. I still think they're the best team by far in that area. But that's an area they can improve on. And then also with the Ridley here, subject to, he doesn't have to come in there and be a number one, even though he can act like a number one. Exactly. I mean, who are you going to double? I mean, you're going to double Ridley and leave Kirk? What if you put Ridley and Kirk on the same side and Ingram right there? And then you can motion ETN and make a little trips right formation? I mean, so. But I just think they beat up on the division. I don't think any of the other teams were good. Second place, I'm going Titans, 6-11. Wow. 6-11. Like, I heard that Willis might not even make the team. So, you know, I mean, it's like. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he didn't make the team. He does not look good at any of his starts. He's got that capability, skills, and things like that. You know, obviously he'll be able to move his legs. But, I mean, Davis Mills has made him look completely bad. And Mills hasn't pulled necessarily great injuries. Well, remember they pulled Joshua Dobbs off the street last year to finish off the season. So, they didn't even give the kid a chance to finish up. And, I mean, Derek Henry, dude, is phenomenal. Surefire Hall of Famer. But, you know, those hits just eventually, you know, these last couple of years he's slowly been getting nicked up. Like, once you get that first injury, they all just start to happen, you know. He's 30 this year. Yep. That's the decline of running back. Same time, though, I don't see him. I mean, I could see him going out there and having one of those feeds. Oh, for sure. Yeah, I mean, because what else you can do? I mean, okay. Do they have more around him to be able to. I can't doubt their defense. I can't doubt that. But, Tanner Hill, I mean, if they get behind 17, are they going to be able to catch up with this guy right? Right. Good point. Good point. Yeah. So, their defense and run the ball. Basically, old school, you know. Old school. All right. In third place, I have the Texans at 4-13. I think both you guys had good points about them. D'Amico Ryans is going to be a good coach. That defense is going to be good. They're going to. I mean, they were competing last year. I think they took Kansas City to overtime, you know. I know it was their Super Bowl, but, you know, at least they gave the fans something to root about for a game. But, I don't know. I just, I mean, their first, like, their bye is in week seven. So, their first six games are at Baltimore. When, you know, then they host Indy at Jacksonville, Pittsburgh at Atlanta, New Orleans. You know. Well, I'll say this. According to analytics, the Texans have the sixth easiest schedule in the league. So, I'm sure a lot of that's based on the division. But, if you look at it, I mean. Yeah, that whole division is, like, the bottom quarter in strength of schedule for next year. Sure. But, I mean. If you look at the second half of the season, after they lose to the Bengals, can they beat the Cardinals at home? Can they beat Jacksonville at home? I mean, that's possible. Yeah. Sometimes that would be current. Well, see, okay. Like, I have them losing to Arizona at home, but that's, like, one of those scenarios where I'm trying to find Arizona to win. You know. But, realistically, they will probably win because Murray won't be back by then because I think they'll be in full tank mode, and they're not going to play Murray at all anyways. But, yeah. They played four, three playoff games all season. Stiffened Addy, Baltimore, and Jacksonville. That's it. That made the playoffs last year. Right. That's all they played the whole year. Yeah, but Denver's going to be better. I mean, look at that. Look after the cards. You've got Jacksonville, Denver, at Jets. So, yeah. I don't know. It's going to be tough. But I think you've got the right coach in place, I think. And if Stroud is just good, you know, doesn't turn the ball over, pierces a really good back. They got Schultz away from the Cowboys. So, I mean, there's some weapons, but it's just going to be growing pains. I mean, and there's a reason you pick at the top of the draft, you know. So, anyways. Moving on. So, then at fourth, I have the Colts at four and 13 as well. I just don't see them. I don't see the good players. You don't believe the hyphen, Richard? The kid. What is he? Is he RG3? Is he Cam Newton? Michael Beck? Lamar Jackson? You know? The latter two, sure. Then, I mean, the kid's super talented. But what, 13 starts at Florida? Yeah, in the SEC. But, I mean, if you're completing, like, barely over 50% in college and it just looks like you missed so many. He said it was a guy named Josh Allen that only completed 52% of his passes in college. Okay, needle in the haystack. Okay, needle in the haystack. Anyways. He's saying it. I mean, he did. Anyways. Yeah. He's a zealot in the NFL. For sure. For sure. I mean. Coaching helps, too. Absolutely. Absolutely. And, I mean, they did get, what, Sirianni from Philly? No, Sikon. Sikon, yeah. You're right. Shane Sikon. That's a detective. That's a detective. He's your long-lost brother. Yeah. He changed the I when he joined Witness Protection. No, I just don't see it from the Colts. Like, okay, Michael Pittman, eh, pretty decent. If you break down by position in quarterback, would you take Richardson or Stroud? Okay, so are we saying both start day one? Yeah. Okay. Stroud. Would you take Taylor or Pierce? Oh, Taylor. Would you take Nico Collins or Michael Pittman? Well, of course I would love to take Michigan, but I would have to go. Who's the other one? No, Nico. Nico Collins. Or also Michael Pittman. I would take Pittman. Michael Pittman. I would take Pittman. Yeah. That's tied in where it gets kind of like, I mean, Schultz over Woods, obviously. Yeah. But I will say that Indy has a decent line. They're not the best. No, I mean, you've still got Nelson, you know. Yeah. It's tough, man, it's tough. And Shaquille Barrett comes back on the defense for the Colts, so, I mean, I just don't know. I mean, I have them losing their first four games. I mean, Jacksonville at Houston, at Baltimore, hosting the Rams. I mean, it's just, I don't know. I don't see them losing to the Rams, that's for sure. Really? I don't know. I don't know. I mean, we'll have to wait until we get to the NFC, I guess, for that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right. Okay. Trent must be down on the Rams. So then that obviously means this division only has one playoff team. Yeah. Right. All right. So let's scoot on to the next division, guys. And T, you're up with the AFC East. All right. Let's see here. All right. Strong division. I mean, there's no other way around that. I got the Bills taking it down, though, 12-5. I simply think they're more of an overall complete team. I think adding to the run game will help. I think they definitely need the help in the run area for that team to kind of be an overall team. Take a lot of that pressure off of Allen, and he doesn't have to be running around as much. So this guy's already some fancy players, that's for sure. Fancy people out there, but they're fancy owners, I should say. But, yeah, I think the Bills can do it. Now, I did this without knowing the news of good old hard knocks. So I got the Jeff at 11-6. But I'm going to put an asterisk next to that. Well, we are allowed some, what's that? Yeah, some changes. Yes. Can you please tell me they go behind the scenes and show Rodgers going to his Hiawatha Healing Center? That's the whole thing. I mean, okay, so Rodgers, yeah, Rodgers, yeah, all-time great, polarizing, but he is the sole reason hard knocks is there. Because his Hiawatha, the retreats, his political views, you know, so, I mean. Micah does toss some mushrooms and stuff. But, I mean, I think overall the team's good. They have a good coach. Lots of young talent. He's also back from injury. Hopefully he didn't take any steps back from that. Good wide receivers. He got some veterans in there, mixed with some young. Good defense, though. That defense is strong. So I think 11-6 to them. And, again, based on the division that they're in, they're going to lose some games there. Whether it might be on a last-second field goal or something like that on a last-second turnover to go for the other team and do the save. Next I have to finish. Got them at 10-7. I like them a lot. I think they can get more wins. I'm a little worried about Tua. I mean, after seeing what we saw last year, what he had to go through and all that, it's tough to – I mean, it's easy for everyone to say, well, just don't get hit and don't do this, this, this. But, like, they're going to take some of them. And, you know, how many does he have left? Not necessarily concussions, but just the hits. You know? One thing that needs to be done. Yeah, I mean, first sign and they pull it out. Yeah, and it's just unfortunate, I think. I like the squad down there and I like what they've added, especially if they ever added Alvin Cook. I mean, they probably will win a couple more games than 10, I would think. But, you know, it's kind of a tough call for me on that. But with all that, with no injuries or anything like that, I got them at 10-7. And I think, again, based on the division on some of those losses, it's just a really tough division. So, and weather coming into play as the season gets later. And then I got the pass at 9-8. I don't really have much to say on it outside of don't doubt the check. You know what I mean? Sure. Oakville, he just has a way of doing whatever it is he does in his system, in his ways. And I don't know. They can also be a lot worse than they've always been. But I just don't see that. I just don't know what it is. I just don't. Okay, Belichick on the hot seat. I think he kind of, I wouldn't say the hot seat, but I would say they're probably looking into the future. Because he's, like, what, 30-something wins away from Shula? Yeah, something like that. But he's also, like, 14 losses from having the most losses in NFL history, too. Kind of like what the Spurs said about Popovich. They signed him, like, a four- or five-year deal or something. Yeah, $80 million? Oh, my God. Gumby's not going anywhere. Finished last place, and Monkey get an extension. Good old Wimby Gumby. He's going to get an extension. He'll move away soon. And at least they got Mack Jones, the offensive coordinator, this year. Bill O'Brien. We'll see how he does. I don't know. Okay, Gehoff. I'll go to the Patriots. Or the Titans, because we didn't talk about him going to the Titans. That's where big rumors are. Yeah, that's one of those things, too. And also the fact that he's in there, too, on some of the decision-making on those two teams. Sure. And also, it's not – if he would lay in there today, would I go change this? Probably not. I don't think either one of those teams, you know, quarterbacks, it might be a one-game difference or something. But I don't know. He might as well go back to the Cardinals. Well, he's just like – Dehoff's just taller and better than Devontae Parker and Juju Smith, you know. None of them are true burners, but Dehoff's just got incredible hands. Don't throw the ball, though. That's the thing is, you get Dehoff in a system like that and you move those other two guys that used to be number ones, you know, to, like, say, like, number twos and threes, they still got some hands. They still got some speed to them as well. And, you know, you can kind of have a complete offense going on at that point. But that's if he goes and signs there. And, you know, will that make them a more explosive offense? I mean, it'll help them to spread the field some, but that's not what Belichick is, though. Like, yeah, I don't know. It might turn into one of those days where he becomes like a red film, just a huge, like, piece of gold because of his hands. Sure. Yeah. But they also run the ball a lot down there. Maybe LeBron Day and – Yeah, LeBron Day is going to be good. I guess, though, I'm sure they'll have a second running back. I know they lost the other one, but – They're strong. Either way, they find them and they make them work. True. True. You never know. Yeah, that's – But, yeah. Go ahead. Do you want to talk? No, I was just going to say that's a pretty tight division to where, you know, one, like, bad weather game, you know, like you said with Miami or snow, you know, like in Buffalo. I mean, like, but I think the key to that division, it could even be to his health. I mean, you know. They got Mike White to back them up, but, you know, I mean, there's so many weapons. And, like you said, if they sign Dalvin, man, that's, like, really good offense. But, all right, so on to the next AHC East, Mr. Ryan. All right, well, like I'm sure – Like he said, Bill, I got them going 12-5 to – I mean, they're just the cream of the crop there. Pretty much most complete team. They have, you know, offense, defense, special teams. Tough in that division. They've been together the longest. They probably, I mean, I get it, they'll expect what's the best coach, but McDermott is probably the best coach in that division now. So, kind of like what you were saying, head coach, quarterback. They definitely have both of those for sure. So, I definitely think they win the East. Next, I have the Jets going 10-7. Like I said, they'll be in every game, just about, with Aaron Rodgers there. But I still think it's going to take them a little while to flow. I think they're going to struggle in the beginning. Just new quarterback, you know, and, you know, Aaron Rodgers is a new coach. I mean, I know he can adapt well still. And good old Hackett as the OC. Yeah, I do. I do worry about Breezball coming back from an ACL tear. How effective is he going to be? That dude was so good before he got hurt, man. He was awesome, yeah. The way they come back now is pretty good. They still have Michael Carter there. So, they're good on the depth chart. And like I said, their defense is really strong. Top to bottom, one of the best in the NFL, so to speak. So, we'll see. But it's the division, why I'm losing seven games. Tough division, real tough. So, next I have the Dolphins going nine and eight. I struggled with the two because I worry about two of them. I think their whole season depends on themselves a lot. So, it's going to be won or lost right there. You get Dalvin Cook, it may change my mind a little bit because I think Mike White can run an efficient offense and get him into the playoffs, possibly. So, maybe I'll change that by a game or two and make them ten and seven, possibly. But, same thing there, good offense, solid defense. So, then I have the Patriots going seven and ten. I'm still thinking Belichick is going to keep them in games. I think they've made a few improvements here and there, but this is too tough of a division. You know, I will say this, I know there's a lot of people out there that think, well, Belichick can win with anybody. Well, he can't, you know. I think he needed Brady as much as Brady needed him. So, you've still got to have the talent to win, no matter how good of a coach you are. So, I could see the Patriots even doing worse than that, possibly. But, I don't know. I worry about the defense a lot. I don't know. We'll see. I understand that, Chloe. I think you're right. I mean, Brady, as much as he needed it, he's Brady. So, I mean, it shows. I mean, he put together a playoff team a couple of years back with Mack Jones, a rookie. They had a rough season last year. If they're here with him, I think he'll be able to kind of, you know, mend some of that again. I think a lot of it has to do with Hopkins signing there. I mean, that's probably a couple extra wins he could maybe take out. That would be a different maker for sure, yeah. Right. At the same time, like you were saying, or like we were saying before, is even if he does sign, I mean, how many wins are you really going to give him? You know, and I think that he should. Well, Mack Jones is throwing the ball. I think he's the worst quarterback in that division. So, you know, I think he's fourth, you know, so he's the Tannehill of that division. Yeah. Okay, would you put Aaron Rodgers over Josh Allen? No. No? Okay. No way. No way. Okay, I agree with that, yeah. Yeah. Allen, Brady. I don't want to put Rodgers over Tua. I mean, if Tua's healthy, he's going to be great. Dude, his numbers were ridiculous. Yeah. Wasn't he the highest-rated quarterback? Yeah. At least. Now it's like, yeah. If Tua's healthy, I'd give him a slight edge now based on it. But it's hard to count out that dude. It's hard to count out Aaron, man, just based on certain things. But, yeah, if Tua's healthy with what he has, I'd give him a slight edge there. All right, excellent. All right, so it's another tree-shaker sweep for the division. Bills, I got it 12 and 5. Two sweeps in a row. Huh? Two sweeps in a row, that's right. I just, yeah, like you guys said, Allen has just gotten better every year. You know, Ryan said, like, his completion percentage has gone up. And the dude has caught a hose, man, you know. And I don't think the big noise that we've heard the last few days is anything. The guy's just passionate. Once they start winning, don't forget all about it. Well, they've been winning. It's just, like, this team is playoffs. It's like, what are you doing in the playoffs? Like, last year against the Bengals, they were flat. They got whooped by the Bengals at home. I mean, it was like, how do you not, like, get up for that? Like, one more game closer to the Super Bowl and you come out and lay an egg. I mean, yeah, they weren't the same. That was Booth's job right there. Yeah, they weren't the same after Vaughn tore his ACL. But, you know, he'll be back. And I would just sit him out to the playoffs, honestly. I wouldn't even play Vaughn. Do you think it could be related to the Jamar-Hamlin stuff or no? Oh, well, think about it. They had that unfortunate tragedy to deal with, and then they had the game that they got snowed out that they had to get relocated. So they had that to deal with. And then, yeah, I mean, it's just they just ran into a better team, you know. But, yeah, I still think they're the cream of the crop. They're getting a little older on the defense, you know. They lost Edmonds, the middle linebacker, went to Chicago. So they're older a little bit. But Ed Oliver is starting to really just become a beast. He's dominant. And, yeah, the offense, I mean, with Dalvin's younger brother and Himes, and they signed Michael Harris from the Patriots. So that's a good little – I think they're going to run. Damian. Damian Harris, yeah. Damian Harris, yeah. I think they're going to run more. And keep Allen in the pocket more to try to – I mean, you have to. You have to because he hurt his arm last year, and he was just for, like, six weeks. Totally sucked. Screwed my fantasy team in the Sleeper League, by the way, if you guys remember. But, anyway, we're on to 2023. But second, I have the Jets. I have the Jets at 10-7. I think, like was said earlier, Jets are going to struggle early on offense. But they have Aaron Rodgers. Garrett Wilson, that kid is really good. He had, what, four quarterbacks last year and still put up good stats. I mean, yeah, room for Brees Hall to come back strong. It's like the only thing anybody talked about in the offseason was the left tackle for the Jets, and they did nothing at it, you know. Got to protect them. Yeah, I mean, that's the key. I mean, keep Aaron upright, you know, because he's not going to run around. And then I wonder how – I know Hackett's Aaron's boy, but how's that really going to go, you know. And the defense, nothing to worry about. Quinn Williams just got paid, what, four years, $96 million. I don't know the total guarantee, but it was, you know, that was smart because they did that to clear up any more news so that stuff doesn't get on to hard knocks because that would have been a big focus, too, you know. And, of course, you have Sauce locking down one whole side of the field. I think he's the best corner in the league. I mean, real close. Patrick's third 10, number two. But it's close. But anyways, I think the Jets will be in a lot of tough fights in the division. You know, and I think Saul is coaching for his job. You know, if they go 6-11, they might get rid of him, you know. Look at the Jets' first six games of the year, you know. Buffalo, Cowboys, Patriots, Chiefs, Broncos, Eagles. They could go 0-6. Hey, you can go one more week after the bye. They could be 0-7, okay. 1-6, 1-6. Somehow they'll let the Cowboys beat them. Just as long as that one is not against the Giants, we'll be okay with that. So, all right. And then moving on. Yeah. Third, I have the Finns at 9-8. I just, it's two of them, man. I love the kid. I root for the kid. But how is he going to stay healthy? And then I just like a lot of cold weather games in the second half of the season, you know. And Tua, that's a quick-passing offense, you know. Mike McDaniels is a really good coach. And, you know, but I think even with all the ninjitsu falling, how to fall down practice that Tua's been getting in the offseason, if you still get hit in the head, that doesn't help you, you know. But it all depends on Tua, you know.
