Nick Wilson and the bum slayer back on afternoon drive. We do not the bum slayer. Kirk cousins is the bum slayer We're trying to find out if Julian say it can be the bum slayer If you want to if you want to slide bum you can slide bum in fact I was gonna I mean really though the end result was we're gonna turn Drake May into the bum slayer Yeah, yeah ridiculous though I come in the studio and everyone's acting as if like oh Could you not have seen that one coming? I know how because we're not in England I didn't think that I didn't think he'd take bum to be any sort of Owners way I just think that's only an English term. I didn't think it I'm sure you can use it in a lot of places But when I think different ways to say the word ass bum is like 37th on that list I just think of I think of terms like homeless people You know, it's I don't I don't I don't bomb is a derogatory term towards the homeless community for me So I don't think that way I've reprogrammed my brain that I'm even think bum when I say it's nice that's nice That's where what you call him street merchant. Yeah I very nice ways of you know the less fortunate as it were
I think temper over in houses what they're going for these days. That's kind of like the branding that That big bum wants out there big bum. Yeah, that's what that's what I call that yeah big bum once that's the branding You're paying me again for the second time of the show that's the branding that's wanted out there the bum slayer is Bain you know more conscious new to the show I had to explain to them if I do this show existing in the world where I like have to Consciously wonder if anything's gonna be turned into an innuendo of sorts or anything sexual I can't do the show So you just have to use that the power through and then let Nick when he wants to just kind of I don't know take it Whatever direction he goes and just live with the consequences. I'm just trying to pick up whatever you're putting down You can turn just about every at least Nick can turn just about everything into something sexual if you want to thank you It's a it's a tie-up three kids. Yeah, I mean, so I just you just can't even worry about those type of things a dog 1946 saying ask your boy Jonathan. Yeah, I didn't spell Jonathan right though We spelled that H in there and that bugs me. Okay. If Sanders falls into the bum slayer category
He literally played nobody in college. Do you think? Should our Sanders slays Bums? No, I've never put him in that category No, good if you wanted to no and and the Bum Slayer Exclusively only beats Bums Drake May is this is why he's qualified for this He's now 13 to know against team or sorry 13 to know again. Oh, and 13 excuse me against team today 500 a better record Yeah, yeah, oh and 13 win list we against teams with an above 500 record Bums layer. Yeah, he's beat a lot of bumps. That's kind of like the whole idea of last year's Patriots team It's like Joe Jackson has this maddenly easy schedule. They didn't play any tough teams go Look up with the quarterback list that they played last year. It's a lot of bums on that list I didn't realize how into Bums you were Drake may beat him all. Yeah, he beat all those Bums. Yeah, he beat him all I'm proud of you. Yes, he did, you know, I know that there's a big bum market out there Uh-huh, and a lot of people like pay a lot of attention to Bums. Yep. I believe there's actually a segment
You know, like just a catchy term the people to remember Brazilian Bums lips. I know it's a big conversation out there and you're bringing bum awareness and that's what people love about you And this thing with you and Mark Hatch. I don't love developing either by the way It's thing a Mark Hatch comes in between the fridge. He goes, oh, yeah, you know Nick Nick gives me a look. I get my smile back. It's like our little it's our little thing We're developing a fraction here. I love this wasn't he's gonna hurt you Mark Hatch Okay, he's gonna do you know last night I think I think he's done this When you first when you felt a little a little dejected last night as he was saying how you're basically a square And you you don't watch any a bell of danger and you don't watch any All these other people and then in the span of like an hour and a half I think you you look feeling like you're accused of a lot of things on the air next time he does that don't come cry to Jonathan All right, don't don't come cry to Jeff. You come come to Jonathan at all you made your Nick Wilson bed you get to line it now I got I really like to abuse the the board off and then wonder why they're on my side. I got Jake Murlin on my team
I got this Mark Hatch Nick Wilson thing I Yeah, listen, I Closer to the studio the more they like the guy who is there before it was an in it was that the bond existed the Body is saying If I can clarify that's a name in the witness protection program is well, but it just works for a 50 That's all different different station different people different. I don't I don't go down that road if I can at least clarify a lot of You know my job during the day involves making eye contact with Nick. That's true So and I and maybe it's just happened on accident and somebody on tic-toc. He loves this Did say this budding relationship somebody on tic-toc digs did say I have beautiful eyes Yeah, who was I when you clicked in the profile who was that person his name is or their name is a Bane damage Yeah, I dream. How do you know it was a key? Yeah, well, I mean I'm guessing here. Let me go back to the the let's see Bane damage main damage. There he is Yes, it's a brain bram. It's all yeah, uh us Navy good. Yeah, so veteran. Thank you for your service. Service stroke survivor
He put that in the in the the headlines sure did right after us Navy veteran. All right. I'm happy he survived If you didn't survive you wouldn't give the compliment live in the simple life in West Virginia Oh, you say a lot of nasty things about West Virginia That does he know how many bad things you say about why he likes me so much Yeah, but I can take a compliment. I don't get weirded out by that all right No, why some men here other men compliment you and get very uncomfortable. Oh Listen to everybody out there on 92 through the van's YouTube channel chat If you want to tell me if you think I have pretty eyes you just let loose I there's no judgment here I'm not gonna think you're hitting on me. It's gonna think you're speaking the truth out there on Twitter You want to say I got pretty eyes? I get it. Yeah, it's like he's like planted fitness judgment free zone That is true. Just take any compliment doesn't matter who it comes from where it comes from doesn't matter and built like a planet Come on now I'm rotund and I got that that being said back to the Browns Jaguars game Josh Heinz Allen So the honestly, I don't think he ever would have been Josh Heinz Allen if not for Josh on the quarterback
Right, I mean, that's not like I don't think that's what he's publicly said he has said that yeah And I don't pay enough attention to Josh Heinz Allen's press conferences and by the way It's the right call There's there's only one Josh Allen you lost that battle. You're very good. He's very good. He lost that battle Anyway, Josh Heinz Allen's talked about I Feels like we got a guarantee from him about this Browns Jaguars game The last time you went against an offense led by Todd Monk and it was 2023 against Baltimore They had over 250 yards on the ground. Are you expecting that play style to translate over to Cleveland as well? It's not gonna happen. They're not I mean that's Armada is to stop the run so by any means they're not running the ball that much on us so I expect you know come out running the ball I think you know his philosophy of how he sees the game. Yes, I expect that but 230 yards. That's not happy so Respectfully now I would like to know and maybe if Todd Monk and just chops off that respectfully Mm-hmm can Todd Monk and the Browns churn this into some high quality bulletin board material?
Maybe this is honestly it's I think it's more of a shot at Monk and then it is anything else But what's interesting I mean Monk and Stugas the last laugh out of that the game he's referencing was 2023 That was his first season as Baltimore's OC they ran for 251 yards But Monk and round the ball 42 times all he did was run the ball that game and he basically dared Jacksonville to stop the run We've already positive about this weekend whether or not that would be one of the Browns Form you was to trying to win this game and if he thinks Jacksonville's week against the run based off of a game that happened Three years ago maybe go back to that well. Yeah, I mean, I think the Browns and no matter who the quarterback is But certainly if it's a game change a sorry game changing a game managing DeShawn Watson I think I think a healthy dose of the run game makes a lot of sense Well, but so the problem within this is that you know obviously anytime you talk about the Ravens you're like all right So what what did Lamar do though? Well, Mara 12 carries in that game for just under a hundred yards Lamar was wildly effective with his run game is part of the plan with DeShawn He's talked about using his legs and being able to use that part of this is he gonna try to do anything like he did with Lamar
Or is he just gonna admit that can't happen here? No, I mean, I think that's I actually think that's a significant part of why Todd Monkin needs to see DeShawn Watson first is he thinks he can get something out of the ground game And it's interesting because I tend to agree with what Zach Jackson said with the Monoboy's earlier This week actually yesterday if you guys want to go back and listen to that which is I Don't think that DeShawn Watson has the jets he had early in his career and And honestly, I think if you watch him move in the pocket. I can't tell no This is where I this is where I'll be fair to DeShawn I can't tell if he looks a step slower Because he doesn't have pocket awareness when the pocket breaks down. He's looking for an angle to go to and So he just has never gotten to open space to showcase his legs Or whether it just doesn't have them Or the injuries just over took him which is what I lean towards seems more plausible seems more likely But Todd Monkin is seeing something that I'm not seeing in practice every day So I'll leave wiggle room for the idea of well he sees him every day
Maybe he's seeing a getting up gear that I that again, I don't know it exists anymore We should also acknowledge Jacksonville's run defense is much better Obviously than it was three years ago when that game happened But it's just much better in general It's one of the things they kind of thrive in and so I'm interested to find out if your only response is gonna be Well, we're gonna run the ball like crazy and we're gonna see make sure we just When Sean is great the offensive line showcases what it can do We showcase what it can do against DeShawn that you kind of playing It's so interesting. There's like seven different ways you can play into Jacksonville's hands in this game I would imagine they want to Sean to throw the ball because they think DeShawn still can't throw the ball But they feast that run defense is really really good. They feast when teams try to run So I think that's where the DeShawn part of this comes down and where Again, I I can see the hypothetical idea of all right if you can stop or bottle up quencheon judkins and two things DeShawn can do is Deliver an on-time ball to Casey concepts again at seven yards in a slant
And then Casey can do the heavy playmaking lifting and then the other side that DeShawn has is one two All right, nothing here. I'm gonna get ten yards I can understand how those could be secret weapons in this matchup given everything you've said and everything We know about the Jacksonville defense again I'm skeptical that Sean can do those things right, but I can at least understand like Part of my frustration is big picture. I'm trying to figure out how DeShawn does it in this matchup I can see what I think Todd Monk and sees and if you use pace, which is another way. I think they're gonna try I think it was Nate Tyson's big on That pace is gonna be huge this year for offenses. Okay. I could see that as part of that as well Oh, we're from the NBA to the NFL pace the conversation nobody wants to have everyone seemingly having I feel like we're going right back to Chip Kelly's Oregon offense from like 15 years ago Yeah, I'm gonna check my stuff how he rose into the locker while we're at it and then And then all of a sudden pace didn't matter and we're right circling back to pace matters now for the 75 million of time
The NFL is cyclical Nick. It's what goes around comes around it. All right great I even out of the defensive conversations we're having and everything like the the quarters coverage Conversation is existed in the NFL for like six years now and people every single offseason are like they figured it out They know how to stop these guys. No, they don't yet. You know, you have to do don't yeah bracket coverage Yeah, yeah, yeah, this guy is a really good wide receiver if you tried bracket coverage It's a ridiculous. I've also played madden Two and six four seven four 0092 Josh Heinz Allen I'm can we say guarantees Well, guarantee that they won't look like they did four years ago against Lamar Jackson How much will Jacksonville sell out to dare to Sean to beat them more on that And the extremes in the Jacksonville game for the Browns and what can change your mind in five minutes on 92 three the fame
