That's really cool. And he's got a new documentary based on his life coming up on Amazon Prime Code. Called Go Deep, Dishon Jackson Story. So I have a chat with him. My power rankings, the first of the season as well. And he's one of my dear friends. And I'm so pleased to be able to have here back on the Rich Eyes and Show for Warner Wednesdays every single week this season. Once again, getting ready to call tonight's game on Westwood One Radio as he does on Sunday nights and big games. Kurt Warner back here on the program from Seattle. What's up? Kurt, how are you? Hey, buddy, what's going on? I'm excited to be back. I'm excited to be in Seattle and getting the season started tonight. Man, excited that we did, just excitement all right. We did the season preview last night. Let's jump into tonight's game. Oh, what's your expectation for this evening's contest, Kurt?

2:05I think when you think back to the Super Bowl, everybody felt like, oh, you know, New England was crushed in that game. Seattle dominated across the board. Now, they definitely dominated on defense. But I thought New England's defense. I just went back and watched the game again. I thought Seattle, or I mean, New England's defense, really held Seattle in check. I mean, it was 12 to nothing going into the fourth quarter. They scored 17 points there in the fourth quarter. But one was a defensive touchdown. The other two or the other 10 points came off of turnovers that were inside the 40 yard line. And so the defense did a really nice job. Now it's going to fall on the offense with the new weapons, AJ Brown and Romeo Dobs and Drake May to have some answers to, what Mike McDonald did defensively. But when you go back and watch it, it was a lot closer game, you know, than maybe you would think when you looked at the score. And so you know, at the new additions, I'm excited to see what this offense can do.

3:05And I think this game is going to be closer than a lot of people expect, just based off of the numbers or what you kind of remember, first impression wise of the Super Bowl last year. Well, knowing Drake May's game as well as you have covered and seen what makes the AJ Brown acquisition so good for him. Well, I think the biggest thing is you always want to make the game easier for a young quarterback. And how do you make a game easier is, you know, the team wants to play mandemand coverage, which is something that New England struggled with in the Super Bowl is when Seattle played mandemand coverage. If you're going to play mandemand coverage, you know you've got a guy that you can count on to win against anybody. Him against Christian Gonzalez would be a great matchup if we get to see it numerous times. But a guy that you believe, hey, I can make the game easier. I don't have to overthink this. I got AJ Brown on one side of the field. He's in mandemand coverage. I believe he can win in every situation. Let's just drop back, set my feet and throw the football to that kind of guy.

4:09So that's the thing. I think if you're going to get mandemand coverage that you're excited of having AJ Brown. Now, Seattle last year when they played against him, they did a lot of what we call cover six. What that is, Rich, as it means, is kind of a cover two, a rolled corner with a safety over the top to one side and a quarters look, safety and corner in an off position away from that. They like that coverage. It gave Drake Mason problems last year. I'm interested to see if they put AJ Brown on one side of the field over and over again in this game. Does Seattle just say, hey, let's roll a corner. Let's put a safety over the top. Let's force these other guys to beat us in that type of situation. So it's going to be a fun cat mouse game. I got a lot of questions going into this first matchup of what it's going to look like for the New England Patriots and how Seattle is going to attack them with some of the new pieces. But that's what makes it exciting. That's why I can't wait for the season to start and see who these two teams are.

5:09What Seattle's offense with a new play call are going to look like, do you think, Kurt? I mean, you have to believe they're going to try to do the same things. But that's your Arbanae coming off of the knee injury. You know, you've got price who you've drafted number one. You lose Kenneth Walker who was huge in the Super Bowl with, you know, big play after big play. And so you want to run the football. You want to play action off the run game. That's what made this team so good. But will they have the ability to do that? Will this play call a first time play caller be able to get into that rhythm, find that rhythm and keep that balance, you know, as they did last year? Because that's what made them so good offensively. And that's where JSN excelled was off the play action and getting those one-on-one situations down the field. So I'm interested to see that as well. Anytime you get a first time play caller, it's not just going through a play sheet and, you know, dialing up, you know, this number and that number. It's about the feel of the game. What a defense is doing against you, those adjustments in game.

6:10And you always feel like there's going to be some growing pains when you've got a guy that hasn't done it before. Kurt Warner here on The Rich Eyes and Show Getting Set to Call on National Radio. Tonight's Seahawks and Patriots opener. And then comes the Melbourne game on Thursday. You were 38 in your last year as a professional quarterback. Matthew Stafford is 38 as he's waking up. Probably figuring out what time it is, what date is right now in Australia. What do you think is going through his mind, knowing the team that he's got in front of him? Yeah, Kurt. Oh, I mean, first he's got to be ecstatic is that how good they were last year coming off an MVP type season. You've got the pieces back on offense. You've got a defense now that can take some pressure off of you. You know, it's funny. He won the MVP last year, but I remember the year before down the stretch. He had a number of games where he didn't even throw for 200 yards. Where they were winning games defensively and he could just be a complimentary piece.

7:11Every quarterback loves to throw it across the yard and throw for 40 touchdowns and all of that. But there is something that's nice about going into games and going, hey, if you know, I don't have this kind of game and I don't play it to this standard. We can still win football games and take that pressure off of Matthew Stafford to me. Has to have him extremely excited about what they can be and what the possibilities are. You know, so close last year, like I said, he had a great year last year. To me, he's got to be going into this season. I don't know how long he wants to play, but man, this is a great opportunity for us to win another championship. And what a turn of events that would be after all those years in Detroit, not being able to win a playoff game and everybody saying what they said about Matthew Stafford, to have an MVP, if you can go on and win another Super Bowl and have two Super Bowl championship at this stage, man, it would be pretty incredible to kind of that turn around it and how people see him now

8:12compared to I think how people saw him when he came out of Detroit. Yeah, man. I mean, a former Lions quarterback and now a former Cleveland Browns defensive end that sounds like they could toast each other like it's the end of trading places that they're feeling good and looking good, you know, toasting each other because Garrett's probably never really rushed very much with a lead in the fourth quarter. And Donald, though, didn't make the flight. So it looks like Jackson Dart on Monday night football week two might be the first quarterback has got to look over the line of scribbles and see Donald and see Garrett. Was there any comparison when you played at all to look over the line? You got to check some absolute beast that's right over your center. And then you got to look to see where the other guy is on the edge. Is there anybody like that? I mean, it could recall. I don't know if it's like these two guys. I mean, you know, these two guys have been the best at their position on the planet for a while. I mean, you know, I had obviously Warren Sapp and a semi and a rice type player who was obviously a really

9:13good-pass rusher on the edge and what Warren could do. But I don't recall two guys, you know, anywhere close to kind of this pedigree, you know, because I think they're going to go down as, you know, greatest defensive end. You know, we've seen in this era, greatest defensive tackle that we've seen in this era. And obviously they've got their place in the history of the game, two of the best ever play. So I don't know if anything quite like that. You know, that's obviously rare. Good players at different positions over the years. But if we get the air and Donald that we've seen through, you know, his career, if we get him to go along with Miles Garrett at this stage in his career, man, it's going to be, you know, I'm going to feel bad for the quarterbacks on the other side every time they got to show up on Sunday. Kurt Warner here on the Rich Eyes and Show and last night on the NFL game day season preview show, you and I had the same Super Bowl 61 prediction of Rams over Bills. Why do you like the Bills to win the AFC? Kurt? Well, I think there's

10:18a lot of unknowns in the AFC. You know, you got Lamar Jackson and company that, you know, are always formidable, but new head coach, what exactly does that look like? You've got the Kansas City Chief who obviously, you know, been kind of toast to the the AFC for so long, but Patrick Mahomes coming back after eight months with that ACL and knee injury. What exactly does he look like? And so I just think there's some unknowns in the AFC and Josh Allen is good as he's been and has his team in the mix every single year. And so if, you know, again, I don't know if there's a sentimental pick if this is a, you know, solely, hey, it's before the season, I would love to see Josh Allen in the Super Bowl. And I believe he's got a chance this year, you know, just like so many other teams. I think Denver's going to be really good again, you know, probably should have represented the AFC last year. Bohnix was healthy. And so I think there's a lot of good teams in the AFC.

11:19I just don't see one. Then I say, okay, all the pieces are together. That's the team that's going to represent the AFC. And so with that, I think Josh Allen is going to be in the mix. I think he's going to play great again this year. And I think he's got a good chance of ever, as ever to beat it. That said, your prediction for MVP was Joe Barrow. Why? Well, I mean, we think back a couple years that, you know, Joe Barrow, you know, led the league and passing yardage and touchdowns and all of that. He's got all his guides back offensively. That I just believe he's going to put up incredible numbers. And then if you get a defense that you know, gives you a few more possessions, you know, can stop some people because I think why he didn't win the MVP was because the team didn't win enough that year. If the team can come together and win more games this year, I believe the numbers will be there for Joe Barrow to make a case for the MVP. And that's why I stacked him up there. Kurt won a few more minutes left with Kurt before he calls tonight's Wednesday season opener in Seattle on National Radio right here on

12:23the Rich Eyes and Show. Okay. Man, so many different ways I can go with you right now. Kyler Murray, Minnesota, Crystal Ballet. I'm fascinated by this one because I watched Kyler a lot, you know, being that he was in my backyard in Arizona and my former team. And we've seen obviously incredible glimpses of his talent and, you know, played half a season in the MVP race. So we've seen him play really, really well, but he's never put it all together in terms of seeing the game and playing the position, the way that you play it starting from inside the pocket and not just relying on his incredible physical gifts. You know, with Justin Jefferson with this offense, with what they've asked their quarterback to do in Minnesota, it has been a lot more play it more conventional in the pocket. Get the ball to your playmakers. And so I know we talk about KOC not having a quarterback like this. Is this offense going to look different? Are they going to put in elements to, you know,

13:24to use Kyler Murray's feet more? Well, maybe, but I just think they're built because they've got the weapons on the outside for a quarterback to get the ball to him. So I don't exactly know what this is going to look like. Great cast to characters. KOC, I love what he does with quarterbacks and the way he's brought guys along. But I don't really know because I haven't seen Kyler put it all together up to this point in his career. And, you know, old dogs, new tricks. Can that happen at this stage? Can he grow into that? You know, is all he needed was a change of scenery and a change of coach to be able to do that? For me, the verdict is still out. Obviously, tremendous talent across that offense, really good defense. This very easily should be a playoff football team, but it's going to depend on what Kyler we get. And can we get the consistency from him for 17 weeks that we've never really seen with his time in Arizona? All right. Rapid fire sports talk radio questions before I let you go. Here we go. Dart or shock. Which one's going to have more of a breakout season?

14:27I'm going to say shock as much as I like Jackson Dart. I'm going to say shock. Okay. Do you want to I know I gave you rapid fire, but you can. I mean, I just really like the way he played down the stretch. You know, it's comfort in the offense, playing the position. He made big time throw after big time throw. Jackson Dart to me made a lot of plays, but a lot of it was more the athletic mode as opposed to just playing the position. So I just like Tyler in the way he played the position a year ago. And I think he's going to make strides in that trip department. The quarterback that could take his team further than they've been. Nick's Herbert Trevor Stroud. Nick Herbert Trevor Lauren Stroud. So Nick's would be in Stroud would be the championship game. Trevor would be to the the the championship game. Herbert would just be to win a playoff game. Everything. I mean, if it's just based on that, I probably say Herbert that I think they're in a position to win a playoff game. But I'm going to say bonnet. They were the best team in the AFC last year. As I

15:31said earlier, I thought they should have been in the Super Bowl. If he would have been healthy, I think their team is really, really good. The pieces around him. And I really like both. I mean, he continues to get better. He makes big plays. He wins in the big moments. I just I really like him. And so I believe that they've got a chance to go to the Super Bowl this year. And so you know, with all that being said, those other guys, I think, you know, are going to have good seasons. But I'm going to say, you know, bonnet and the Broncos. All right. Who goes further? Dacker Caleb. I'm going to act this year. You know, I had them being in the playoffs on our show last night. So not can care line out, putting the Cowboys in. Their offense is going to be really good. If their defense can be what I think a lot of people are expecting is a huge jump. That doesn't mean they're going to be a top 10 defense, but a huge jump from where they've been the last couple years. I do believe they're a playoff team. I do believe they've got the firepower to beat anybody in the NFC. So I'm going to go there. I feel like Caleb and company are going to take a

16:36step back. And that doesn't mean they're a worse football team. I just think they're going to take a step back from how things played out last year. It's Caleb was so good in the moment, but they won so many late games with heroics that I just don't know if you can live in that world year after year. So I have to see Caleb become more efficient as a quarterback before I believe that they're really that one of those teams that can compete in the NFC. So I'm leading back in the Cowboys year. injured quarterback to look more like himself. Jayden Daniels, Patrick Mahomes. Hey, listen, hold on a minute. I mean, one you've got to say body of work, you know, how can I doubt him? But, you know, the question is Jayden Daniels was the unicorn or the kid that got hurt or can he be the unicorn again? And my heart like who's going to? Yeah, I mean, if I've got to put, you know, my stake on one of these guys, I'm with you on Patrick Mahomes is that the body of work come back in eight months, hasn't missed a prat like all of this stuff

17:39that you're like, this is unreal. Like this, this should not be happening. This is not something that, you know, I think anybody foresaw when he got injured late in the season last year, but I just can't doubt the guy. I mean, he's shown us at every turn that, hey, he can do and we'll do whatever it takes to help his team win and to play good football. And so I'm not really sure who Jayden is. I'm excited to see what he's going to be in year three. If it is rookie or if it's more of what we saw last year, but if I'm thinking one of these guys to look more like themselves, you've got to go with the guy that, you know, always looks special to some regard and that's Patrick Mahomes. Lastly, who starts more games? Shoulder Sanders or Fernando Mendoza? Ooh, I'm going to say shoulder Sanders. I, you know, because of the team and because of how it starts, you know, there's been a lot of struggles with the Sean Watson and, you know, I've talked about it a lot, just his ability or lack of ability to see the field and play the game has been glaring

18:43since he's been in Cleveland. And I just don't know how that's going to change. It's also more of that in the preseason. I don't know how that's going to change. So I think this thing could turn to Shedur, you know, fairly early in the season and give him a chance to prove if he can be that guy before, you know, this this quarterback class that's coming in next year. And so Fernando, I do believe will play at some point this year, but I believe when you're talking about more games, I think Shedur will will have this chance earlier in the season. All right, I lied. More likely to start week three, health, health, health, relate out the regardless of health. Okay, we're assuming everyone's healthy. More likely to start week three, Michael Pennix or Shedur Sanders. Wow. Again, I'm a believer that Michael Pennix is going to play more than two and Shedur is going to play more than the Sean. If I got to go week three, I'm going to go Shedur. Two games on the road. You know, coming back to Cleveland after everything that's going

19:44down with Deshaun, if things don't go well early, I think they could make a change that quickly in the season. So, man, I can see both of them, but but I'm going to go Shedur. You're the man, Kurt. See, we're back. It's like regular season wrap a fire now. I can't wait. I don't have anything to go on though, Rich. I have I know that I know nothing. I know you want to just throw and stuff out there, but I can't wait for guys to place a football and break down some tapes so we can really dive in. And that's why I hit you with all of these questions you hate to answer because you're so happy footballs back. So have a great time the night with Kevin Harlan, man. I'll see on Sunday. All right, buddy. Can't wait. And of course, QB confidential is Kurt Warner's must subscribe to YouTube page. All of his insights is he's as great as it comes in terms of breaking stuff down.

The Rich Eyes and show podcast and it happens. Got a 27 out of 32 shot at it. Wow. Back here on the Rich Eyes and show everybody 844-204, Rich, number to dial. Got my power rankings coming up in a second. Listen, this clock thing in Michigan hasn't just it's timeless, isn't it? It's timeless.

21:52It's timeless. No more mulligan. You know what I mean? Michigan. The Mac, the Mac said, we're cool. You know, we got the explanation from the Big 10. Western Michigan's like, we got the explanation we're good with and then Mac wants some more action. I guess. Time for some action. No, no. Time for some time for some action. They come out yesterday say, hey, everybody should act like Michigan lost. And we would like this ruling reversed because protocols weren't followed. And it's like, oh, okay. All right. The NCAA said, yeah, that's not going to happen. Even though they kind of admit protocols were not followed. Unless, you know, the protocols were followed to make it accurate. I listen. Why was said there's many different ways to go about it here. Obviously me having the team that got the extra shot and then the extra shot, everybody's acting as if it was a push push from

22:53the half yard line instead of a 60 yard heave that, you know, one would think the other team should defend the answer to that is like, well, they should have had to defend anything. It should have already been in the locker room with a lifetime of memories and a amazing blue belt on the Kalamazoo wall. Okay. Oh, that's true. I, you know what I'm saying? I, I, I, I hear you. I get it. But the NCAA did come out and say, yeah, we're not changing the result, but we are going to send out a memo from the NCAA national coordinator of officials named Ron Snodgrass. I gotta say that's a real name. Good old Ron back in the summer camp probably had a rough go of it and like bunk nine with Snodgrass, but anyway, Snodgrass. All right. Uh, he sent this out approved by the NCAA secretary rules editor. Oh, did you know there was such a thing? I did not see the SRE of the NCAA Matt Young. The official time for all college

23:56football games is the time displayed on the in stadium game clock. When a replay review requires time to be restored. Otherwise, adjusted the replay official decision will be based on the embedded game clock contained within the program feed. If the broadcaster is unable to provide an embedded game clock, the replay official will use the game clock graphic displayed as part of the broadcast feed. This timing protocol should be followed consistently at all institutions and game sites. Forget about the fact that the game clock is inaccurate. Oh, wait, I added that part. It's a fact. You're right. So I sent this to my buddy who sent me unsolicited a text that, boy, is everybody wrong the way that they're talking about this because, you know, the replay clock is more accurate than the game clock. And I understand that we're not seeing the replay clock. And it makes everybody who's betting on games thinking they're good. We'll just all refer to the replay clock as the clock that the home team wants to have used to benefit them. I said, I sent the text

25:01to my friend. So they're going to use a system that we see on TV that has now been established by all this is flawed. And he wrote back 100%. They are literally saying they're going to violate the rulebook because we now know that the game clock, which is in the stadium and the TV aren't synced. So they are proactively saying they're just going to go at the less accurate at clock because it's what the audience is seeing. So for full transparency, we're going to go with something that's flawed. Only the NCAA people, only the NCAA, now you can say, oh, wait a minute, why can't we just see the replay clock? Great question. Because the technology's got to exist. Oh, yeah. To connect the most accurate clock to what we're seeing. Wouldn't that be great? Wouldn't that be great if the NCAA just but you know what it means? It must mean money. It must mean the system that they're already locked into would cost more money to tell these people to pound sand to go ahead and you know, wait,

26:03but my friend described it. There's like a coaxial cable you could connect and actually connect everything. Actually, cat five. Thank you, Mike, for the cat five, everybody. We're not talking about Carl Anthony Towns with five rebounds. All right. Everyone, everybody's eyes are blazing over. It just seems like this flaw that there is with clocks somehow, some way for 60 minutes or 59 minutes and 59.5 seconds of football between Michigan and Western Michigan got played for this needle to have been threaded by the football gods. And here's the good news. I don't think this is going to happen again. And because of what are the odds? And Western Michigan is going to go move on to I believe monmouth. Oh, yeah, like Jersey, the monmouth of like Europe. Does that the monmouth? He's really part of the New Jersey. Yeah, really?

27:04And if they win, they're going to go celebrate in action park. Is that where they're going to go, Mike? Hopefully not. No, action parks are closed for a while. You know what I mean? We're going to the outpipes. Um, and Michigan now has a massive mountain decline, massive mountain decline with Oklahoma coming in because if they're playing against Oklahoma the way they played against Western Michigan, you know, it snackables for venibles. Yeah. Is what I'm fearful of as a Michigan guy. I have all the hope in the world in this coaching staff and this kid to find the reserve. Yeah. Um, and the, the study time and what have you or it can't get any worse or what have you. And in terms of punishing Michigan like Western Michigan wants it to Michigan to be punished with at least you assuming it's a loss. Well, the voters did that. They're out of the top 25. Yeah, it was like the largest drop ever. I don't know what that 21 point favorites anyway. I got I hear you. But the fix that you're reading about and in a fix. Well, it's a fix. It's a fix

28:12for the people who believe the fix is in when there's a clock. We're not seeing that conveniently gets brought out. So one team can get another shot at a 0.3% chance shot from the 48. Actually, it was from their own 40 because under would faded back and flat footed through it 60 yards in the air, which is why he's getting 11 million bucks in N I L money. We just need that throw to be a little bit more with touch and a little bit more on time and a little bit more against the defense that is disguising its coverage, which Oklahoma is going to do. Oh my God. Starting quarterback for now. I know. That's we heard right now. And again, like Kyle Wittingham is, is he going to be the first coach in this new era to be put. Well, he already is that that's what Josh Payt talked about on Tuesday to be in the position of inheriting a quarterback with a large N I L tab and looking at the people who are paying that money and saying, he's the backup now. I have no

29:14choice but to do this. And just in just maybe his first month as a coach somewhere. So we're at a point where the collectives are deciding the starting lineup. Well, I mean, money talks, doesn't it? Winds and losses talk. And I think that's what will end up ruling the day or this kid is going to just find it. Which you know I'm rooting for because I like him a lot. Of course, hope is not a strategy. Is it not? I didn't know that Stuart and Florida wants to chime in. What's up, Stuart? How are you? How are you, Stuart? Great. So talking about the cloud, the problem is you need to go back to the end of the play before we're under what spikes it. There's 11 seconds. They run it down to 10, but because of the two second mandatory, they go to eight. Realize there is 11 set it to nine. Then when you watch the snap, you'll see that it goes from nine to eight virtually instantly. And that's where it fell out of sync. If you watch the rest

30:16of the play, you'll see that each second goes ahead. And you talk about letting us see it, they did. They actually showed us that it let us hear the whole replay booth and what they were showing. We saw it. That's why there really was a second. They got out of sync going from nine to eight. Watch that and you'll see it happens almost virtually instantly. And that's the whole thing, Stuart. And that's the problem with going with the game clock that you're seeing on the screen. Is it it's just not accurate? You're you're you're dart throwing and thank you for the call. You know what this is like? It's like measuring. You know what I mean? Like we're not going to use a technology to put a chip into ball and go exactly where to spot it. We're just going to have some dude who's running either up the field or back towards the line of scrimmage and look at where somebody gets tackled. And I think it's right there. I'm going to run straight line right towards it and try and put my right or my left foot down. And that's the spot of the football. And then what we're going to do is take out these chains. The clock is now part of that. It's it's it's it's an inexact

31:18science that we just trust is as close to the accuracy as it is. There's a human error involved because somebody's literally pressing start and stop. Yeah. And there is no tense of a second. It's not parsed down to the tense of a second. And there is nothing that lights up when it's all over. The NBA's got it right. How many times have I said that? Not often when it comes to that versus the NFL. Rich, it's funny though. What Stuart said. I brought it. Is that almost not word for word where I told you yesterday about I saw that there was a second off when JP Buchanan caught the ball and you were given 11 seconds. You should have had 12 seconds. They took a second away from you. So I and it's just like when it goes from one to zero. Is it is it all over or is there still like it's zero point three on it zero point four on it. Yep. So zeros aren't really zeros. Nope. But now it is because we're not going to the replay tape with the most accurate clock

32:18because you don't see it. And we're going to make sure that the fix for us is to make sure you don't think the fix isn't because of how much money is on the line of what people are watching. That's fair though and logical. I mean, how many millions of people watch that game and only like a handful of people actually know how much time has left. That's preposterous. And so Michigan was reached out to you know my guy Dave Abloff at Michigan said we're not in charge of the replay clock or any clock like to do with a replay. So what are you coming us for? Because everybody thinks Michigan cheated. That's where I think I guess mean nuts. Come on. Get out of here. Oh yeah. Well, you got a lot of our quarter back looks so good on that first throw. We need to have for a while. I know that. Unfortunately, you would know that though, right? Yeah. No, no, no, no, I know he's Mr. Astros go around here and he's he's he doesn't give me a Patriots fan. I know that he knows

33:19which means you're in my boat. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, guys are both symbiotic. Oh, my god. You know, we need a bigger boat. Oh, yeah. I know he'd love that long. You could just woo.

Way too soon. Too soon. Come on. It's now finally arrived. My first power rankings of the season. Everybody brought to you by SoFi. I This is my power rankings. There are many like it, but this one is power ranking. All right. My week one power rankings brought to you by SoFi. I think the lines are winning the division at the end of the day, but that day meant not come. So right now, I've just got to look at track record. I've got to look at roster and I'm putting the bears 10. Even though I've got the lines eventually winning the division, but right now the bears are just coming off of an incredible season and they got Caleb and they got Ben and they've got themselves that. You know what I mean? They've

35:27got a lot more and I'm wondering how deep it is, but right now I'm putting the bears at 10. Okay. At nine. I'm putting the Houston Texans here. Again, I have the Jaguars winning the division at the end of the day, but and the Lions and neither are on my list. I'll be honest with you. I'm just saying right now, the way I'm looking at it could be wrong and this could be right. The Texans defense is too good to leave off this list. They're just too good. And the other teams, I've got them. I got them above the Texans at nine, but right now the chargers are right. Oh, I can't quit them. Oh, I can't quit them. And I know that the Texans have punked the chargers in the playoffs in the regular season. I'm just going to say Mike McDaniel and Jim Harbaugh equals much better offense than we've seen in Los Angeles. You'd much better. Yep. Much better. And defensively minus Jesse Menter might counteract it. Don't know. We shall see. I just kind of

36:32dig what they've built. And I couldn't knock the chargers down yet another peg after having them too in my way, way, way too soon power rankings back in the spring. You had them five a month ago. I know. I'm just, hey, man, I know it's now rubber meeting the road time. I'm just saying number seven of the Eagles. Hey, stays like a before. I've got the Eagles at seven. I have them just everybody, again, who is late eyes on them say they're the biggest team they've seen in every position in Jalen Hertz. Let's see what you got, sir. Because it's six, the New England Patriots and AJ Brown are right above them in my power rankings. Bro, you know, they've got the Seahawks tonight. And this is a very tough assignment. And then they've got Pittsburgh at home at Jacksonville at Buffalo. It's a start. I don't know if they're going to be in my power rankings much longer. We'll see. Oh, that's disrespect. I don't think it's disrespectful. One in three start. I can't keep you in my top 10. One in three start. I eat Del Tufo's hat. Okay.

37:34You don't say that you've done this before. I like my hat. So we've done this before. Be careful. Five. I have them winning the AFC. The Buffalo Bills are here. Whoa. I know. Pop them back on my list. A month ago at the end of the day, I'm like, I listen, if I've got them winning the Super Bowl, I mean, in the Super Bowl, I can't have them not on my power ranking. Wow. I've come around on it. Josh Allen's my MVP choice. I've bought in. You know, I've bought in a new set of eyes and a situation, Joe Brady bringing it. Although it's kind of the same set of eyes in terms of what Allen's been talking to on the offensive side of the ball. Four is Dallas. Four is Dallas. Four. Yeah, but they were four last time. I'm high on them. I'm saying. I'm high on deck and this offense running it back and defensively, they're better. So if offensively, they're top five and defense, they're top 16. There are even say top 10. That's

38:40a big joke. I got it to go from DFL to top 10, but they've made the moves. They've made the smart bets. The table's wired. Just roll the dice hit the point. Oh, collect the cash. Three is Denver. I understand I've got Buffalo making the Super Bowl and I got Denver higher. But I'm just telling you what they are right now. And at the end of the day, I might be proven correct with a Super Bowl run for the bills and I might be proven correct with a run to the playoffs by Jackson Villigan and I might be proven correct by a run to the playoffs by the Lions over the Jat over the Texans and the bills who are in the and the bears who are in my power rankings to end the beginning of the season. Denver is just so great offensively at not line and adding Waddle. Knicks coming back. Sean Patens just as intense as they come. The defense could come up with 70 sacks. And at the end of the day, I know Seattle fans get pissed off that I put them at two in

39:45their title defense and I put the Rams at one, but that's just the way it is, man. It's just the way it is. You know, who sang that? It's just the way it is. Bruce Hortes. Thank you. And I'm the range. You know what I mean? I'm the range and on the range, the Rams almost beat the Seahawks to the Super Bowl last year. And since then, they added Trent McDuffie and they added Aaron Donald because Miles Garrett was added. The end of the day, those are my weak one power rankings brought to you by Sofie. Get your money right. There are so many other teams that could make the top 10 right now. So many other ones. The Bengals, I think, are going to make a nice run. The Ravens, I think, are going to make a nice run. I'd really like the run that the Vikings could make a nice run. I just can't packers could make a nice run. I just can't do it. You have one more. I know. I'm giving you more. It's tough to do a power rankings start the season. The box could make a nice

40:47run. There's always going to be a surprise team. You're not seeing common. Chiefs are not on this list and you accused me of being a passionate chiefs fan in the same way. It was the young man who's voice. You just heard, you accused me of passionate rounds. They're not a top 10 team right now. Chiefs, right? Yeah. I mean, Jacksonville should probably be on this list. Over who? Honestly, probably the Bears, even though I really like the Bears. Okay. Chargers, maybe Dallas is too high. Come on. No. Dallas should not be ahead of New England. Come on. I don't know. I think they play right now. I think the Cowboys beat you. Oh, no chance. Okay, man. We shall see and it starts tonight. This is great. We're back. We are back. I love it. We are back. It's exciting. Derek Henry coming up. The Sean Jackson after him. Perfect. I would agree. Perfect. I want to hear from Sean. And then, you know, we do have to talk about the US Open. We have to.

41:49Yesterday, the US Open was one of the best days the ever ever ever at the US Open. You know, it really was something else. Ben Shelton rising star. We're going to have an American in the US Open final, which hasn't happened in forever. And it's there's something. I don't want to lay it all out here. I think we'll finish the program now. Sure. Just the way that are most Americans nights ended with US Open with one eye open or both hearts closed. I stayed up and I couldn't fall asleep because I was so jacked up. I just want to really was so much fun. It's so much fun. And just to say it here too. You know, Mac and Rowan Fowler or just in a. Oh, yeah. A plus performance by that last night too. It's incredible. And the shots, you know, you can see the hair on the task ball, man. It was great. No, no judges. It's all automated computers. They're amazing. We should do that in baseball. No clocks. Probably do it in every sport. Stop it. No clock. It's not as simple.

42:51Obviously, by the way, we love empires and referees here. And we love clock operators. That's the most. Do we? I don't apologize for winning. Especially at me.
