1:00All right, everybody! Welcome to this edition of The Rich Eyes and Show Live. On Disney Plus, the ESPN App, ESPN Radio, Sirius XM, Channel 80. It's going to be a Warner Wednesdays. Always is in our neighborhood during a football season and Kurt Warner is first up in hour number two as he will be in every single Wednesday show from here on out. Hang out with him on NFL Network last night. Good times on our season preview show. Derek Henry entering year 11 in the National Football League 10th on the all-time list of national football league rushers. He's going to be joining us in hour number two. Dishon Jackson stops by in studio. He's the head coach of Delaware State Football. There's a new documentary on his life on Prime Video. And then there's you at 844-204 Rich. Is the number to dial. Hopefully you're awake if you watched all of Ben Shelton versus Carlos Alcarez last night at the United States open. It's unbelievable that that match ended nine hours ago from this point in time.

2:00I'm struggling. So all good in our neighborhood today. I've got my first power rankings of the season. Christopher Brockman, how are you over there? Well, tonight, I have national football. We can't wait. Excited to be here. Excited for tonight. I did stay up and watch all four half hours last night. So I'm a little struggling. But football tonight. Can't wait. DJ Mikey D is these nuts. Good morning, Rich. TJ Daphne's in the candle is lit. What trophy do you have there? On the road to riches and diamond rings. Real players do real things, Rich. And this is my fantasy football. I lead trophy. Hey, the fourth one that I've got. And I feel good. Wow, football. I'm ready to dominate again. Look at you. Let's go. For those of you who may not be familiar around these parts, this is our 13th season covering the national football league. It'll be my 24th season covering the NFL for NFL network. Kind of kicked off last night. So we're a football show through and through. Obviously we talk about everything. But what I do every single year on the day the NFL starts

3:02for real is I run down every single storyline and narrative possible for all 32 football teams right off the top of my head. Yeah, you do. And it's time for me to do that again. We love that. I need the music like Del Tufon. Really? We start with the American football conference, which is represented tonight in terms of a championship by the New England Patriots who have year two of Mike Vrable. It is year three of Drake May, but year two of him being a full-time starter for the New England Patriots. And year one of being a starter of a team that has high expectations, as well as high expectations for a guy who was almost the MVP of last year. And what do the Patriots do? They go ahead and get him AJ Brown in the offseason as a new toy and weapon. How good is this team on defense? Still they signed Christian Gonzalez. They pizzeria him. It was a top five defense last year. Will they be able to do that? Will they be able to protect Drake May?

4:02Will Will Campbell be a turn style? Or somebody who can turn the page on last year's campaign in year two for him? And then of course, there's everything off the field with Mike Vrable. Vrable during the offseason. Will that somehow come home to roost if things don't go well for New England? It is a season of high expectations there for the Patriots. We'll see what happens with them as the Buffalo Bills. Once again, have high expectations again because it's Josh Allen's world. And we're all paying rent within it. They have James Cook coming back off of winning the rushing title last year. It is Sean McDermott out. And Joe Brady in. The guy who was in Josh Allen's headset for the last couple of years, coordinating the offense as well. It's now his turn. Their front and center for a Bills team that on defense does appear to be pretty good. How good can they be in their new stadium? The new high mark stadium? Will the rest of the American football conference have an obstructed view of Josh Allen running

5:07away from them and scoring touchdowns against them? So is this the year that the mafia can finally die happy? It's been time and time again for Buffalo. Could this be the year the Jets have year two for Aaron Glenn? It is Geno Smith back at the controls. At quarterback. This was not the plan that Jets fans had when they drafted. Zach Wilson and then turn to Aaron Rogers and then thought Justin Fields could be the guy. They didn't think it would be Geno Smith with Frank Reich coming out of the mist to coordinate an offense for Aaron Glenn who's basically been told, hey, you're the defense of coordinator. We hired to be the HC your back being the defensive coordinator and the HC. They got some OGs back. Demario Davis as well on defense. Minka Fitzpatrick on the back end. Can they come up with just one interception this year? And surprise people with Garrett Wilson and Breeze Hall and the rest of those offensive youngers, young guys can make go ahead and make a big run of it.

6:09The dolphins have Jeff Hathley in year one. Malik Willis with the opportunity of his lifetime. Will the dolphins build for the future now or look to the future for another quarterback, depending on what Malik Willis does there. Jalen Wattles gone. Who's there? Who are the dolphins? Big Shrugglemoji team Devon H. Ann is one of the best of the business. We'll see how he does in year one for Hathley in the Cleveland Browns world. It's Dishon Watson again. Who thought about that? In Cleveland, not many. Thought maybe it's going to be Shadour Sanders again, but Todd Monkin in year one for him. What's going to happen in Cleveland with Todd Monkin? They trade away Miles Garrett. It's Jared Verson defense. They've got a whole bunch of young kids that can win now if Monkin's the right coach and Watson's the right quarterback. Or Shadour's the right quarterback. Or if not Cleveland owns half of next year's first round draft, just like the Jets to look for a new quarterback. Meanwhile, Baltimore's got a new head coach as well after 16 years of John Harbaugh.

7:13It's Jesse Menter on the spot now. Can he plus this team up on defense? They sure hope he can. And what he did with Durwin James here in Los Angeles, he can do with Kyle Hamilton and Rogue One Smith and get that defense stout again. Lamar Jackson, a new offensive coordinator from the Ben Johnson world, Declan Doyle. How will he look in a new offense? They flowers with a new contract. Derek Henry in hour number two of this show in year number 11. Can he still keep it going? He turns 33 in week 18 a game against the Pittsburgh dealers who also have a new head coach. And Mike McCarthy after Mike Tomlin leaves after 16 years. And once again, it's McCarthy and Rogers again. And these two guys being hooked up again is mind blowing. Mind blowing because not only they hooked up together again, they're hooked up together again in Pittsburgh. And McCarthy is the one who's replacing Mike Tomlin. And Mike Tomlin's the coach for a franchise that both McCarthy and Rogers beat when they won

8:14the Super Bowl against them in Dallas, which is the spot where Mike McCarthy coached in between the gigs of Green Bay and Pittsburgh. What the hell's going on? Michael Pitman's now new there. Will the offense be different when McCarthy calling it a head coach, calling the action? He's a first year head coach. Same thing with Todd Monkett. Same thing with Jesse Menter, which leaves Zach Taylor is the Dean of coaches in the American football conference, Northern Division. He's there in year seven now. Think about it. You're eight actually. I'm shorting him a year. And this is this the time where Zach Taylor finds his footing from the last year that the Super Bowl was here in Sofie Stadium when Joe Barrow surprised everybody with Zach Taylor, former McVey assistant to take him to the Super Bowl. Well, Barrow still's got your mark, Chase still has T Higgins. Now has Chase Brown behind him. And on defense, they go ahead and say 10th overall selection. Take a giant's will take sexy Dexie Dexter Lawrence,

9:16boy in mafia on that defensive line. Did they make sure that this defense is stout enough to make sure that Joe Barrow, if he stays upright and healthy, big if they can actually win football games by a normal score. What will happen with the Cincinnati Bengals this year? Is it Super Bowl or bust for everybody there? The AFC South. You've got sitting there the Jacksonville Jaguars after a massive successful first year with Liam Cohen. But they lost Travis Etienne. What's going to happen at the running back position is Travis Hunter going to be a two-way player anymore. What happens with Brian Thomas Jr. for this team? Great first year, second year, a little bit of a milk carton parker Washington can't lose. We'll see what happens there. Jacobi Myers is well in a full season for this offense for Liam Cohen in a defense that was

10:19highly opportunistic last year. They shocked a lot of people in the second half of the season. They punked a ton of teams. Nobody thought they could beat. Can they take a step forward? Can they get DuVal County to the Super Bowl for the first time in the team's existence? Jacksonville is a lot to be excited about, but then there's the Houston Texans, who won and done to Aaron Rogers and sent Mike Tomlin to NBC and has a defense that is as scary as any defense that we've seen put together. Will he Anderson got a contract of 50 million per? But the quarterback hasn't and is that the problem? CJ Stroud, can he get this team to an AFC championship game? They keep getting as far as the divisional round and hitting their head. Hold on to the football, hand it off to new running back. David Monk, coming along with Woody Mark Spine, an offensive line that hopefully can protect people. And then the receiving core with Nico Collins leading the way. Maybe Tengdel coming back. The young guys that are healthy can get things together for Houston

11:22and push them past the divisional round into the AFC championship and to the Super Bowl. Is that possible? It sure is. Will it happen? Don't know. The Tennessee Titans have the ball to staff in the league. That's the one thing we do. Robert Salis taking things over and he's brought in another guy used to coach in MetLife Stadium in the Giants former head coach and Brian Dable, the Jets and Giants former head coaches uniting like the Wonder twins. And they're activating, can ward or not. They got Carl Nell Tate for him in the top five of a draft. That's a nice new weapon. Calvin Redlees there, Tony Pollard's there. Defensively, Jeffrey Simmons is there to scare people. How much can the Titans put it together this year and move forward? Great question. The Indianapolis Colts have got a coach and Shane Steak and that's starting Daniel Jones again. If he comes back looking as healthy as everyone expects him to from a Achilles injury, Jonathan Taylor is as good as it gets. And Alec Pierce just got his aid and it's time to see if he's

12:24going to really be a wide receiver number one. And well says going to be catching it. Could the kid Warren have a great second year at the tight end position? Josh Downes, defensively, can they put it together and get this team into the playoffs and is that what needs to happen for Shane Steak and keep his job? Then you've got the AFC West going down. We start with this. Fernando Mendoza, what's not to like? And that is a rhetorical question. I hope nobody's answering something or radios or televisions right now. Mendoza Manias here. The question is when does it hit? Does it hit it all this year? Does Kirk Cousins keep him nailed to the bench? Is he ready? Is Clint Coupiac the new head coach there from your defending champion Seattle Seahawks? Is he going to show up and go, all right Cousins, take us as far as you can? Or at some point you can do what Tom Cofflin did to our second hour guest Kurt Warner and say, thanks for being five and four of that. We're going to start the kid right now anyway. Is that going

13:24to happen at some point during this season? Max Crosby didn't want to be there and then he wasn't there, then he was back there and now he wants to stay there unless things don't go well or the condor is there. Brock Bauer is asked in Gentile year two, years three and two respectively and Clint Coupiac's system. Let's see how good the Raiders can be. Then you've got our friends across the way. Jim Harboh and the Los Angeles Chargers. He's decided to make a move in offense and he gets Mike McDaniel. The odd couple of the national football league, the Felix and Oscar of coaching. What is going to happen here? How much will McDaniel change this running game? I think significantly. Justin Herbert will certainly benefit from a healthy Rashon Slater and Mr. All on either side. The offensive line that was ravaged, let's see what can happen. They've already lost their center, but they got Amari and Hampton back. Fully. Let's see what he can do this year in this running game. Ladidi McConcave, you've got also Khalil Mac on defense. Tully, you've got all sorts

14:25of folks to Dürwen James. Can the Los Angeles Chargers get to the Super Bowl? Everybody's looking at the Rams being in sofa. Don't forget the charges play there too. They have got Justin Herbert in the playoffs last year, last couple years. Can he win a game this time around and get back? Then you've got the Denver Broncos. Sean Payton in year four in New Orleans. One is Super Bowl. Sean Payton in year four in Denver. What are we going to see? Bone X back healthy. Jalen Wattel now in this offense that remarkably, Sean Payton not calling place for. What will that look like defensively 68 sacks last year? There is good at any position in the NFL as anybody. Denver enters this season as a Super Bowl favorite for sure amongst as many there can be in the AFC. And that includes Kansas City because Patrick Mahomes is coming back. He's coming back and I have no idea what he's going to look like,

15:29but that's still Patrick freaking Mahomes and Travis Kelsey still around and Chris Jones is still around. And now they got Kenneth Walker on offense. So maybe just maybe instead of Mahomes having to put everything on his shoulders. He puts it in the gut at his kid and he runs like he did in the Super Bowl. Super Bowl 60's MVP is there for this team to use. They haven't had a thousand yard rusher since Kareem Hans rookie season. Let's see what they can do there. The rest of it is a big mystery. Can they be a sum of their parts and take the Kansas City Chiefs back to the Super Bowl back to the AFC championship game where Mahomes basically that used to be his floor. That used to be his floor making that and losing used to be his floor. Last year the floor fell out. So did his knee. What happens with the Kansas City Chiefs is Andy Reed enters your 14 mayor as many years as he was in Philadelphia. It's happened. Andy Reed is now in Kansas City as long as he was in Philadelphia. And we'll see what happens to the Kansas City Chiefs here and that's my preview for

16:33the American football conference. Now then we move to the NFC. We'll start with your cowboys. Oh, baby. Why not? Grab the flag for years and years and years. We've been getting flim flam from Jerry flim flam flam flam flam flam flam flam flam flam squirrels talk about squirrels and talking about feeding ducks and quacking and you know, he's there's no patience for jacking around with people. And you'd be here and hey, we're going all in but we're not really all in. What your definition of all end is not my definition of all end. In ACD we're going to like you, you know, sit out and cool your heels and then we'll sign you in my department. We'll make you sit out cool your heels and make it seem like we're going to sign you and then we'll trade you. Get ready. Then we're going to get Brian shot and I'm right here and then we're going to take a flyer on George Pickens and lo and behold, here we are after a lot of that worked out, not to the tune of wins, but they seem to have a better defense now than last year when they traded away my comparisons. They got Rashon Gary now. They got Quint and Williams now. They got Kenny Clark

17:35now. They got Odiggas Zool, right? They got Malachi. They got themselves my guy Jason and they got Caleb Downs on the back end. That's just a name of few. We got the dookie house of coaching it seems on our D-row. Feels good. All Dax got to do is stay healthy and roll the footballs out and let's see how it goes. Dallas has a good reason to feel great and try and break that 30-year drought of getting to the NFC championship game. But the Eagles are still pretty freaking good too. Once again, they change offensive coordinators. Once again, Jalen Hertz got to learn a new system or a same system, different terminology or a different way of doing things. I mean, this guy cannot have the same offensive coordinator back to back years if his career depended on it. Every single time people talk about Jalen Hertz, it seems like his career does depend upon it. Let's forget about the two biggest games he's played in his life and he was great in both. Right. But Sean Mannion's coming in. What does it look like? Have no idea can the offensive line

18:40be better? Protecting Hertz or Hertz be healthy or the run game better for Saquon Barkley? I don't know. What does it mean with AJ Brown out now? Don Tavian Wicks? I'm a Kilemmon in. I don't know. One thing we do know is it's not going to be smooth. We know it. Defensively, they are big. They are stout. They are angry. They are absolutely physical. And the Eagles could be as good as we've ever seen. Or they could be just like the years every other year where you wonder what the hell's going on with them. And Nick Cereon is the man in charge. Meanwhile, you got yourselves just up the turnpike, the New York football giants. Make it a change. John Harboh on the Ravens part ways and the giants like we'll take them and we'll take them and we're going to cross T's and dot eyes to make sure that this guy runs the system the way he wants even though we have a way of doing things to the point where you know, basically our long time owner is Nick Names on a football. Like that, that's the way we do things around here. But now it's John Harboh's way of doing things.

19:42How does that change? Can Jackson Dark Slide? Can Can Scataboo not flip? Can Malik neighbors not just have some sort of weird injury that knocks him out? Can this offense be as great as possible with yes, Odell Beckham Jr. back in the mix? Earning a spot. Defensively they are absolutely front seven terrific. Back in, let's see. Can the giant shock come out and not be a sleeper team, but actually wake some people up. Possible. The commanders. It's Dan Quinn in the saddle in a hot seat. Don't know. Jaden Daniels year one unicorn year two sheep. But was it injury? Was it not? Is it him? Is it not? Is it his number? Is it someone else's? Oh, I'm sorry, that's the difference level of the sport. It's his world we're paying rent in it. David Blasenoo O.C. there. What will that look

20:49like? You hear they can't block a soul in in practice or joint practices or what you see? Or they're just going to come out of the box against the Eagles and just say, where the commanders are two years ago because we got sunny styles now. And he's going to be the glue of this defense. And we're going to hit people in the mouth and Dan Quinn's going to doll these plays up. And we're going to be the Washington commanders of two years ago again. Stefan Diggs is now there with Terry McClurene. They're long in a tooth. Got it. But they could be pretty toothy themselves. We'll see what happens there. The NFC North. Oh my goodness gracious. The Minnesota Vikings have Kyler marine the mix. What will that look like? Everybody's thinking, hey Kyler, the guy from Arizona that Kevin O'Connell has never had anybody to link him and he's going to be running it and throwing it and he's going to look like the kid who won, you know, he's going to do this and he's going to do that. And he's got Justin Jefferson. He's got Jordan Addison and they made the right move and he's going to be the guy there forever and JJ McCarthy. See, let's see what happens defensively. Their top five

21:50Brian floors is still dialing up. Parents and Smith. Resigns. He's there. They're going to turn you over. They're going to make sure that you are hectic on your side of the ball. It's just what happens would Kyler Murray gets this opportunity of a career for him of a career. It's time. Does this mean the Vikings can win this division? Shocks and people go to the Super Bowl. Kyler Murray take them to heights or we'll see what JJ McCarthy looks like midseason. Who the hell knows the packers. I mean, I've never come on in this segment and said, you know, all eyes on a court to date. But that's what's up with Josh Jacobs. He's on the commissioner's exempt list and this is the guy that Matla Flore gives the ball to gives a touch to eight to 10 times on his first 15 scripted. How's that going to affect this team if he's not there? Tucker Kraft's coming back from an e-injury. Who's going to catch the ball of Christian Watson can't stay healthy, which he has trouble doing.

22:52Reed has trouble doing that. Matthew Golden had a great playoff game, but it's time for him to potentially step up defensively. What does this team look like? The packers are a bit of a mystery or Jordan Love just going to wing it around everybody. They stay healthy and they got the run game back because Josh Jacob stays on the right side of the law. He's back in and the packers win this division, even though they had a dreadful final six weeks of last season. Then you got yourselves the Detroit lines. Jermior Gibbs, you're the bell count now, sir. Monk Armory's now in Houston. Okay, Sonic. Knuckles is somewhere else and Isaiah Pacheco is hurt. So you are the bell cow. You have been pizzerid. It is your show. It's the Jermior Gibbs show with also Amonron, James and Williams. And you got yourself Jared Goff at the controls and Sam Laporte is back healthy and that offensive line that was stout once upon a time and has been somewhat porous in terms of what

23:52we used to see. Can they come back and Dan Campbell gets the roar restored after last year's bit of a mess to be honest with you. I mean, Ben Johnson's gone. They hire an offensive coordinator who drops 50 on Ben's bears in the week two. And then all falls apart to the point where Dan Campbell's like, I'm calling the place that could not have been the plan when they lions lost Ben Johnson within the division. But we'll see in Kim the football god stop kicking this defense in the yards and putting every bone on IR. Because if not if they're healthy, this team can win the division and can make some hate or the supposition that their window started closing when they lost in the Niners and the NFC championship game a couple years ago, despite being a one seed two years ago. And then last year's team is the window closing in Detroit. Then you got the pairs. What a season last year Ben Johnson. What a lunate in a good way. In a good way. Right. I mean, he is intense. He is exactly what Chicago fans want. Young, intense, smart,

24:57brash, swim, swim, moving the head coach of the Green Bay Packers after he beats him. After he beats him in a playoff game, two boot. Okay. Caleb Williams, drinking from a fire hose all two summers ago comes out nearly throws for 4,000 yards and comes out of the box in the fourth quarter like he's Tim Tebow on steroids. The throws that he makes the excitement he brings. It is unlike anything we've seen at this position for the Chicago Bears. And I understand, Jim McMahon used to have a Roselle headband and what he used to do. But this kid is something else. And what will this year look like? Can they continue to take the ball away though? Can they win games where they don't have to pull it out of their orifice? Is Manongai healthy? Is Swift healthy? How will this team look? Is burden healthy? Is Colston Loveland all that in the biscuit? Can the Bears win the division and take everything the whole shoot and match and wind up here in Los Angeles entirely possible? Then you got the NFC South. New Orleans Saints, everybody's on them.

26:04That's I mean, that is the biggest bandwagon sleeper team pick of the year. No doubt. And I don't mean to denigrate. You were one of the first to talk about him. Yeah. DJ. Okay. Tyler Schuck comes on in the middle of the year last year, almost wins offensive rookie of the year. Chris O'Lavet, despite having some concussion issues, he had a thousand yard season. He's been paid. Travis E. T. N. He's in. It's in. Pardon me. He's back in the state of Louisiana. Okay. He's got the floor to leave on the side of his helmet. Calvin Camerra. I mean, can he be the Camerra of old when he comes back? Or is he just long in the tooth now? Defensively, what can this team look like? Can they actually win this division and surprise some people possible? I need to see it first to believe it. We'll see. You also have the Atlanta Falcons with a new head coach after Kellyn Mortz, year two for Hammond, New Orleans. It's Kevin's to Fanski's new turn. They've changed everything. New GM, new team president Matt Ryan, who almost had a throw some passes during during the summer because of the injuries at quarterback, which is what it's all about for

27:07Kevin's to Fanski. He's got to be like, okay, how many, can I just get a quarterback that I believe in and can stick with? You know what I mean? That's so much to add. Okay. So two is going to get the start because Penox isn't ready or either of them the guy anyway. Don't know. And guess what, though, you'll be able to evaluate him. You'll be able to evaluate him with Drake London. You'll be able to evaluate him with Kyle Pitts and certainly with B. John Robinson. Because if the quarterbacks write this offense will be dangerous, difficult to stop. The problem is they lost both of their young pass rushes. They drafted last year's draft one injury. One of the commissioners exempt list. We'll see how much the Atlanta Falcons can be a problem. Then you got the Carolina Panthers who shocked everybody by actually winning the division last year. Dave Canalis year three Bryce Young. He looked, um, he looked the part of a real deal NFL quarterback. He gave a scare to the Rams in the playoffs. That is for sure. After beating the Rams in the regular season and this team added Jalen Phillips and Devon Lloyd from the Eagles from the Jaguars

28:12in their front seven Devon Lloyd five interceptions last year. Add a linebacker position. This guy can be a difference maker a front seven difference maker Jonathan Brooks. Can we knock on wood for him to stay healthy? Because that kid with Chuba Hubbard can give a running game certainly with the loss of Rico Dattles and Jalen Coker and Tett McMillan who's put on some weight after winning offensive rookie of the year last year. Panthers can win this division again. Can they though? But in terms of answering a question that I said moments ago, it's Kevin's defense. Say, can I get a quarterback that I believe in and stick with him? There's a guy in Tampa who's just been Pizzad going, I used to be their pal. And guess what? I'm going to see you twice a year now. And I was planning a flag on my own franchise when they weren't going to pay me what I wanted. And I said I wasn't going to even talk contract. But then guess what? My agent was talking to him anyway. And then I got 55 million a year and I'm Baker friggin Mayfield. And I feel great about myself, about my team. I know Mike Evans isn't here anymore, but we still have Godwin. We've

29:12got all these young guys that are probably sitting on your waiver wire post fantasy draft right now that you're probably going to pick up real soon. Can Bucky Irving stay healthy? Kenny Gamewell, who was the offensive engine for the Steelers last year after showing up every now and then in Philadelphia, he could be a serious difference maker. Vita Veisman paid. I know Levante David's gone and and and Mike Evans is gone, but bulls can still dial up this defense. And Baker, Mayfield wants to win this division and certainly hurt the Falcons and the Cleveland Browns in week two. And then we finish up with the NFC West, the Arizona Cardinals draft Jeremiah love can't wait to see what he looks like. Can't wait to see what he looks like. And you've got with Michael Wilson and Marv Jr. and Tray McBride and this kid, if he is as dynamic as he can be with Michael the floor, dialing up the place, Jacobi Brissette in year 90 of his career is in the best position to have the best year of his career. He has an opportunity to revitalize things because I don't know if

30:17Carson Beck is going to be knocking on the door. And if he doesn't want to answer it because opportunity's knocking for Brissette, it's going to the Cardinals may not win a lot of games, but they are going to be a fun watch every single week, I believe. The Niners, almost one to one seed last year were running it back, right? We got now Mike Evans, no Ricky Pierce saw, but Kiddles coming back, Debo's back to talk about running it back, Kyle Shanahan's back, where he morrisis back into mix with the Shanahan team. He's the new defense accordioner, Nick Boses back, Fred Warner's healthy. This team can go ahead and win the division and be the Niners team that is tough out in the playoffs and do this year what they couldn't do last year. It's in the ether in San Francisco for the Niner gang because Brock Purdy, if he stays up right, he's got some weapons and he has some legs and he's got a coach that can dial up the evil. And he's got Mike Evans 50 50 balls inside the 10 yard line now. Let's go put him in the slot,

31:22create a problem one on one easy pitching catch six points or Evans can't stay healthy. We'll see, then you've got yourselves the Los Angeles Rams. Listen, everybody's put him in the Super Bowl, and for good reason, they almost made it last year and they added Miles Garrett and they added Trent McDuffee and Aaron Donald's out of retirement. How stupid is that? I mean, if any team adds one of those guys in the off season, that's a significant upgrade. They added three. Yeah. And Sean McVase, Ben Naren done that. Ben Nare and done that in this stadium in this stadium in a Super Bowl year. And who can't envision Aaron Donald pointing his ring finger on Valentine's Day next year again. And we'll make a big deal. He got a ring for Valentine's Day. They all get rings. That's the way it's looking like who's going to beat the Rams every game this year for the Rams will be must see. And we finish up my season preview with the Seattle

32:25Seahawks who are really pissed off about every syllable I just said about all the 31 other teams having a shot because they didn't lose all that much. They lost some guys on the back end and they lost some, you know, Maffee up front. They can replace these guys because John Schneider does that. They lost Kenneth Walker III, but they got Jadari and Price the last pick in the first round. Would it surprise anybody that this kid runs for a thousand years and puts himself in the mixed-for-offensive rookie year. Dan Near wins it. Sam Darrell comes back, rings it around with a new offensive coordinator anyway. The defending offensive player of the year is on this team too. They've won the Super Bowl. Boy, out of all the 31 other teams that are just absolutely shoulder-chipped over the conversation about, oh, Donald's back with because the Garrett's there. And everything I just said about the Rams, they're like, oh, what am I, Chopliver? What am I, should I go get my Lombardi shine box? Mike McDonald in this team is rare and

So I didn't expect to go on for half an hour to start the show. I knew it would be long, but so the NFC clocked in at 17 minutes. Okay. And the AFC 13 minutes. So, okay. You know, so I think the NFC is going to win the same thing. You think, you know, they've got the front end. Okay. They're all like up. Well, you know what we should do is we should, you know, I'll take a quick phone call and then we'll take a break and then we'll give our Super Bowl predictions before the Warner joins us.

35:38Brockman's Patriots. What's up, Matthew? Hello, how's everything going? Grease and Seattle. What's up, I'm Filly, and I'm a return caller. Okay. I got the win loss game exactly correct last year for the Eagles. Okay. So I'm calling to defend my championship. That's how it's, you want to do, you want to do that again right now for the Philadelphia Eagles? You're win lost? Yep, sir. Okay. Yeah. Let's give him. Let's give him what he's looking for. Fast. But you just wanted to talk, but I'll give you what you're looking for. Okay. Here we go. What happens when the Eagles take on the Washington commanders to start the season, sir? Win. Okay. What happens when you're at the tights? Win. All right. Then you've got the Bears and a Monday night in Chicago. You're gonna lose two and one home for the Rams. I'm gonna say women three and one at, uh, in England against the Jaguars. Tottenham. I think we might lose that just because the Jaguars are so used to traveling over there,

36:40like four or five times a year right? So you might actually get caught up in the, uh, in the time shift. All right. Three and two home for the Panthers. Win. Four and two Monday night or against the Cowboys at home. I feel a bit, the God's wish like a, I feel like I'm in the, I heard you were, I don't know why everyone's so crazy. I'll doubt I'm sorry if you gave, but we're gonna win the five and two at the Commanders Sunday night. We'll win six and two home for the Giants. I think John Harball knows that he really well and he pulled one out and then we lose the Giants win one. Oh gosh. Okay. Um, home for the Steelers. He keeps on coming up. We'll win it. Seven and three at the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. I think the Cowboys take that one. Seven and four at the Cardinals. Win. Eight and four home for the Colts.

37:44She's like, I think we might nine and four home for the Seahawks. Oh, I might do that again. And I was at the Chicago meeting last year and lost. So I'm gonna say we lose that game. All right. You're the, you're the mush. Now it's the Christmas Eve against the Texans at home. Another team that I think people are kind of overhyping. I think we win that. All right. That's now 10 wins at San Francisco. Win. 11 and five at the Giants. Win. All right. 12 and five. Thanks for the call. Matthew and Seattle. Yeah. All right. Let's take a break when we come back.

Yes, PN is going to have it. Yes, PN and ABC, Disney Family of Networks got the, got the Super Bowl. Who's going to be in it? You ready to make your prediction, Chris? I made mine last night on an NFL day morning season preview. He got what you do. I'll tell you after you go first.

39:48Music, please. Who's making the Super Bowl, Chris? What's your plan? The last time the Patriots lost a Super Bowl, what happened? TJ, they made it the next year and they won it. He didn't wait for you to answer. I was, it was rhetorical. I've said it multiple times. My son is a diard fan of both these teams. The Cage, Brockman Bowl, Patriots, Rams, Patriots win once again. Oh boy, you better save up for those tickets now, pal. Yes, I'm okay. We're only saving. TJ, Patriots over Rams is a Super Bowl 61 prediction. What do you have over there? Well, I just want to let you guys know that I could cheat from not going to cheat because you have this morning. It came. It came. It is a career. It is a TJ with production value. It is the, so I'm not going to the end. I'm not going to cheat. Okay. I love it. But I will save it. What a bit. I love it. It's great. It's so committed. Keep going. Yeah, a bit. This is real. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I don't want to do this for fun. I'm sorry. My heart. Okay. Yes. My heart says one thing and my head says another thing.

40:50My heart says the Dallas Cowboys over the Denver Broncos in the Super Bowl. What? What? Another, another, um, I want that. Flashback. I don't know. It could say that at the end of this. I haven't looked yet. But my head says the Buffalo Bills finally get over the home. Oh, the L.A. Rams. Whoa. And when they're first Super Bowl. Well, I am going to flip that script. If you will, TJ, not the one in your hand. You know, I'm like when you just laid out the one that you just laid out. Um, I, I, I just think the Rams at the end of the day, uh, are going to, you know, have the football gods smile on them with their health and, uh, and win it all. They're going to do it just like the last time. They have set up everything to do it. And I think they do it over the bills. I almost put the Broncos in here. You know, uh, I almost put the Broncos in here. One bone away from. And, and, and, and I don't know. I also thought, do I do Bengals Rams again too? Just for you know what's in giggles. I'm, um, but I, I've got, I've got the, uh, the Rams over the bills. Is my Super Bowl prediction for Super Bowl 61.

41:51And, um, Rams over the bills. Yeah. I also toured with just saying screw it. The, the Ravens are just suddenly going to start doing it too. Because I thought I got Derek Henry on the show. And I want to not saying that I wasn't saying I, I'm, I'm, I'm disrespecting him. Getting his bad sign. Uh, no, they'll listen. Um, I'm, I'm, I see how they can pull it off. I could see how they can do it. I don't know. I just see the bills putting it together. I see. And by the way, I predicted Josh Allen to win the, um, to win the MVP. I think that's what's going to happen. He wins the MVP. The bills win the AFC. They make it to the Super Bowl. But the Rams are just too damn good. And last night Kurt, who's going to about to join us along with Mooch had Joe Borrow winning the MVP award. Oh, um, who did they take in there? They didn't even, but they didn't even take the right, the bangles to win the division. I'm like, so somebody's going to be a wild card winner in the MVP award. Oh, last year proved you don't have to win the division to win MVP.

42:54Thanks to Rich. Got it. I'm just pointing out the facts of the case. Okay. That's true. I'm, I'm, I'm, I just walked into that one. Didn't I? Kurt and I had the same Super Bowl prediction. And Kurt's our next guest right here on the Rich Ison Show when we come back on the radio. Thanks for listening to the Rich Ison Show podcast.
