LIVE COVERAGE: Commanders Waiver Wire + Practice Squad

all right what's up what's happening uh yes Jacob Bernard the show is happening I always love when we get a comment asking if the show is going to happen before it starts I was on the phone with Washington Gas Tony got to hear that uh I don't I'm not currently psyched with with how that's going but I don't need to to to blast a local company that's just out there trying their best uh I'm Craig That's Tony squares welcome to the channel welcome to the show uh the commanders we we're doing the show cuz we thought the commanders were going to claim people on waivers and um they didn't uh but we should have the practice squad close uh shortly and then Tony's Tony's got his bets of of the Year in the NFL so Tony's gonna I'm gonna give you information Tony's gonna ask me questions Tony will give opinions and then he's gonna make you money so really Tony congrats on being the star of the show thank you thank you very much and and congrats to the fans right now because usually this is behind a pay wall this is a members only broadcast that they're getting for free right now and this is a fantastic time because we're excited man the grass has been mowed okay the lines have been drawn the helmets adjusted the shoulder pads are coming on we're about to start the NFL season that's how everyone in the Sports World makes their money gamblers included and I'm excited to go through not only the commanders but all the other teams that I have sort of my eye on here because I've been doing work for the past few months and I'm ready to get it all out of my system Craig yeah I well we only have 30 minutes probably even less than that because I have a meeting with my boss in an hour and I have to get to said meeting and uh the whole uh situation with with getting my gas turned back on has eaten into my time so let's not eat into anym um just a couple of of headlines here that I mean honestly really ridiculously surprising that the uh commanders claimed no one um so this this is also based off the process Tony I I actually had a misunderstanding of the process of how waer waiver claims worked I was under the impression that it was like it was in fantasy football which is if you put in a claim uh then you and you have the top one you get your guy now you go to the bottom no no no and the Panthers by the way as the team at the very top uh they took advantage of this and perhaps they stole someone that that Washington wanted but the commanders CLA or the Panthers claimed five players on IR or off of off of waivers I should say the commanders then wound up with zero zero even though they had the second claim to any player they wanted of the Thousand that got dumped yesterday which is knck and futs if you will um at the same time like I guess Adam Peters likes what he had in his 53 I don't know and like you it's funny because you're now like this weird in the Middle where you're you're clearly not a Commander's Insider uh you know living out in La you're a Patriots fan the whole deal you're someone who covers the league nationally about Packers Fan Patriots born bre Packers Fan that correct correct sorry the accent you know PE people can listen to you and be like he's not he's not from DC he's not saying Curry out uh the point is uh but you because you're working with me on all this stuff and and and doing all the stuff that we do like you wind up consuming a stupid amount of commanders content I am stunned Tony that they didn't claim anyone um but I also like these are the back end of the roster guys I also don't necessarily think that they're done whether it's trades or something else I'm just kind of sitting here like we did the show to process the waiver claims and now we we have no waiver claims well you know what stunned me is not that they did not grab any waiver claims but I kind of saw some of this coming with the past few days of how many teams traded away players for sixth and seventh round picks we see that sometimes but this year in particular we saw it a lot more often even my Packers traded for Malik Willis and then cut the two other quarterbacks behind Jordan love on the roster and kept Malik Willis for his seventh run pick having never seen him before other than obviously practice tape and game tape so I think we saw a lot of that this year and a lot of other teams decided we've seen everything we need to see and I think the commanders following you have been following this team very closely it was a very competitive camp and I think they really really had some trouble making the cuts that they did on for that fourth tight end spot or the how many wide receivers do we keep and all that jazz and then that's who they're bringing in on the practice squad because they like the roster they have they like the guys in the camp and yes I think they probably could have improved at some places but they're smarter than both of us so maybe they didn't like what was there and at this point in Adam peters's tenure I'm just going to kind of default I realize this isn't the greatest analysis but I'm going to default to the fact that he has earned with his resume over the years of the things he did in the lower levels of New England's organizations the middle levels of uh the Broncos organization and the top levels of the 49ers organization in which he has went went to many super bowls and one three Super Bowl rings that he knows the league better than me like I I feel like I have a pretty good like understanding of this roster for sure but I don't pretend to know like of the Thousand guys that got cut yesterday I don't have a file on basically any of them like except for the ones that got cut here like that's his job I got other stuff I'm worried about um including just you know staying on top of this you know the Wizards the mystics the you know all the teams here in town and all the stuff that we do in DC I'm not I'm not scouring I'm not going to pretend like I watched a bunch of tape of other teams preseason to be like ah yeah that's the that guy that corner like of course I can look at their draft stock and there's some guys that I think got let go that are interesting but I will say a couple of things real quick one this doesn't prevent them from signing some of the veterans that got released waiver wire is like if you only have a certain amount of NFL experience so a guy like Noah Brown and got cut by the Texans like they can go sign him because he's a free agent he became available immediately the other thing this is a great note by Albert Breer he goes one note on claims teams have to be tactful on how many they put in mostly because they have to cut the number they get so you can't just claim 15 guys then pick who you want if you do that and get them all you got to cut that many to make it work so we know they liked the guys that they kept there's maybe one or two like I kind of thought they might claim a receiver and then sorry Byron Pringle it was fun having you for a day um but you they could still do that and sign like a Noah brown or whoever um but I I think that that's probably worth mentioning that you know it's not like a a roster free-for-all situation and this only applies to the the super young dudes who just got drafted within the last couple years and that said like we always kind of talk about with Washington and I feel like every Home Market does this Tony um oh you they can't cut that guy cuz he'll get claimed and then every single year it's like no he didn't get claimed he W up on the yeah well commanders had three Castro fields and KJ Henry claimed so what's up now we got players in DC kind of yeah they they got they got wanted players I will also say to your point uh these two guys Adam Peters and Dan Quinn and even Cliff Kingsbury they came from organizations where they know very well the players in those organizations so at least three of those funnels of people being cut if there were going to be any claims I would assume they would have come from those houses and they still said no to those players Noah Brown though when you bring that name up that's the one that uh probably the most surprising cut to me I know Houston has a lot of wide receivers and they they got Stefan Diggs but Noah Brown was very very good for them when injuries attacked that wide receiver room and I think he showed enough that that guy the reason he's not on a team right now is I think a couple of teams are calling him being like yeah we'll pay you this much we'll guarantee you this much we'll do you this much because I think that guy can still play and in Washington I think he could be an absolute like starter in the receiver room for that Commander Squad yeah for sure I I I think he could be and he's got the the horsepower to to fit in a cliff kingsberry offense like let's get that dude vertical and see what happens um but you know I also don't hate what they've got and I think it's a year where I've said this a ton but I think it's a year where they don't want to oversign guys like are they a better team if they would have you know make the Brandon iuk trade or the T Higgin or try to push for T Higgins and give up stuff are they better in 2024 yeah but not winning a Super Bowl this year and so keep your powder dry and use those reps that are suddenly available to evaluate what you have and you can't evaluate say Emanuel Forbes if he's not on the field because you signed Stefon Gilmore which is part of the reason they didn't sign I would assume part of the reason they didn't sign Stefon Gilmore um so that's that we are anticipating during this live that we'll get the email on the practice squad uh we've already seen a couple of names uh start to come through of of players that are are being brought back um Bryson chain amongst those um so you get that big body wide receiver um you know back in Camp uh let's see who else Julian good Jones is coming back uh Mitchell Tinsley Sam Hartman so a lot of guys that that you would expect to be brought back and for some of these guys like that's actually genuinely important because a guy like traine if you wanted a big body receiver on the roster on game day like you could bring him up and he's useful because he plays special teams and so um also if something were to happen to Jeremy Reeves like he was your backup personal punt protector uh the backup PP which is one of the most valuable special team spots in Camp so um having these guys around is valuable and it's so stupid the way that all this stuff works Tony I will say this too because you can actually protect I don't know if you knew this you can protect Four Guys per week because like the whole thing with the practice squad is they're exposed if if your Packers want to sign a guy off the commander practice squad they can as long as they're not playing that weak well now you can actually sign or protect Four Guys per week so it's kind of like you have a 57 player roster which I'm sure the PA is thrilled about because it's like oh you pay these guys half of the NFL minimum salary and you protect them like it's this has got I'm glad that there's more jobs available this has also become in some ways very stupid the way that it operates just make roster 63 players or 70 players or whatever it is I'm sure coaches would love that I'm not sure GMS love that like we we still have the question marks about if it was 63 players we'd still get mad about the 64th player being on the practice squad like that would those conversations would still happen I mean to an extent but it's really owners like owners don't want to do it because they they would like to playay I mean look and I would I love to make an NFL practice squad salary hell yeah it's like $350,000 a year but it's not NFL minimum salary of what is it like 800k this year so like it's it's cheaper labor um that obviously isn't eligible for the games and so there's some there's some tactical flexibility that you lack but yeah man it's um it's an ownership issue not a uh not a coach GM issue like I think coaches and GMS would rather just eliminate the practice squad all together just give me 70 players period period yeah full scholarship so to speak uh Craig I you mentioned this on your show you did a couple of segments on this but out of all the the cuts and and keeps that what's the most surprising decision from this 53 man to you from the Commander's side whether it was a keeping a guy or cutting a guy yeah I would say that KJ Henry who got claimed by the Bengals is easily the answer here I mean when we did on take command and when we did our roster projection on the radio show um we didn't even consider him being in the conversation for being cut we thought that he was a step ahead of Jamon Davis he was a step ahead of um oh my God gavon John Baptist the the draft pick they had but I think it's pretty clear like in this rebuilding year they are taking a big swing and KJ Henry is just a really solid player who has somewhat limited upside he's not the biggest he's not the longest he's not the most explosive he's just really really solid across the board and has shown that he plays really hard and I thought that element and you know I remember when he got drafted talking to somebody down at Clemson who was like you're going to love this kid like he's outstanding as a leader and and I think he showed a lot of that stuff um the personality but at the end of the day like Jamon Davis is a freak athlete Javon John Baptist is long like he's got stupid long arms he's tall he's got some burst and quickness to him and so they went with the better athletes and okay I think that tells us about kind of kind of where they are is like let's bet on traits like at certain positions they would rather bet on traits than maybe pass production because they think they can coach it up they believe in Daryl tap they believe in Dan Quinn who's got a you know his background as a dline coach they believe in Ryan carrian um as their you know kind of pass rush specialist coach to to coach these guys up and be effective uh and they also know that they've got a little bit of a safety net underneath them because their power uh their superpower on their defense is inside it's like yeah okay if our edges aren't like whatever then we got Allen and Payne and we just drafted Johnny Newton so eff it like I kind of think that's that's kind of how they they're approaching that position for right now no I I I get that completely and I think the way they built this roster other than a handful of names that I don't even know why they were in the building to begin with but they looking at this roster in the rough and they're looking for diamonds like they're trying to get guys that have those athletic traits to be like you know what if I can unlock that he could be a special player versus I know what his ceiling is and I think we saw a lot of that with the cuts that they made and even trading away Dawson we've T we you've talked about that ad nausey and why that affected the team and it was you know it didn't buy in and also I believe they were like we know his ceiling and we think we can get something special out of more out of the players that we have here and sending him on his way what about H your boy Martavis Bryan though where did he end up I mean we're still waiting to see um I still think they could bring him back on the practice squad I mean the fact that um you know the fact that uh as they break I'm just catching up on a couple other things here too um Bobby Price cornerback who with the Lions Andre Jones uh seventh round pick last year they bring him back to the practice squad another like freaky athlete type um at defensive end but for Bryant like we'll see um I I think there's a great possibility they bring him back to practice to Squad um if nothing else he's a great player to have to simulate AJ Brown twice a year like you just they don't make dudes that big and fast and you know you there's a a skill and a reading of defenses and like an a whole bunch of stuff that makes AJ Brown AJ Brown and Martavis Bryant Martavius Bryant so just's like well if he can imitate AJ Brown why doesn't he play because he's not as good as AJ Brown like there's I'm sure there's a six foot uh 7 240lb dude walking around somewhere that's fast and jumps really high but he ain't LeBron games like we're talking about different caliber of of skill sets um but as as a look as a feel of like what it's like to have a dude that big across from you like that's a good guy to have to try to simulate CD lamb and try to simulate AJ Brown and try to simulate uh Malik neighbors as well so um you know I I think that he could then by the way if he starts actually performing like some of those guys doing more than an impression in practice then you elevate him so I I think that that that is the the state you know the state of play with Brian is probably get him back in the practice squad I'm assuming that he feels indebted in some way to DQ for being like hey I want that guy around and I would assume if if they offer him a spot that he would take it but you know to this point we're still waiting on that email yeah I hear you and I I I think I mean Martavis Brown would be a fun guy to have but obviously they feel comfortable with the wide receivers that they have on the team and I kind of do too after looking at this roster I think the biggest thing for Jaden Daniels this rookie year for this team to set them up you know we've talked about have did did they set them up for success with building this roster around him I think the most important thing and they've achieved this is figuring what out what that offensive line was and who's going to be at what position what is it going to look like who's going to have what responsibilities because that is going to set up all the success for a team that just let that poor kid samh will get murdered last year and now J jayton gets to sit back there knows who his Five Guys Are gets to buy them all the Christmas presents he wants to make them you know his favorites and then we'll figure out the wide receivers later I'm not worried about Terry I like the idea of dami brown mcaffrey out there all the tight ends that you have but the most important thing to me was that old line and I do think they achieved that goal coming into Camp do you think they've uh they've set themselves up for Success there yeah I mean to an extent right like this is this is a line that one we still don't know who's going to start a left tackle I presume it's going to be Brandon Colman the rookie but we don't know what his health status is is um and if Cornelius Lucas is out there that comes with some restrictions in terms of how you can move the pocket what kind of things you can do on the edge your screen game which we know is going to be a big part based off what we saw in the preseason um you know all that kind of stuff so there's that um but I think the biggest thing you talk about Sam how getting murdered last year like that was an Eric bmy problem more than it was anything else I would say the the fault uh this is not me defending and saying that the Commander's offensive line was actually awesome last year but if we're going to go a pecking order of blame on why Sam how nearly died it would be Eric benmy Sam how offensive line like Eric set him up to fail Sam didn't save himself and the offensive line could only hold up so much and they should have been accounted for because they were more midlevel in skill than the eliteness that they were apparently in the offensive mind uh or the the mind of the offensive coordinator I think Cliff kingsberry sees offensively very offense very very differently I think Cliff wants to clearly get the ball out I think will run the football a lot more which is hilarious that Cliff kingsberry from the air raid will run the ball more than former running back Eric benemy uh but that's real realistically what they're going to do to try to protect Jaden and then last but not least like part of this is on the quarterback and we know in the NFL from the advanced analytics World um that sacks are a quarterback stat more than anything else like mat Mahomes you can play against or behind basically any offensive line he's going to get the the ball out Dak is actually excellent at this like yes Dallas's offensive line has been great for years but Dak Prescott has also been the quarterback for damn near a decade now and he plays an enormous part in that both in that he calls all the protections and he's right all the time and that he gets rid of the ball quickly and he's got the mobility to escape some stuff and good pocket awareness meanwhile Sam how obviously uh the opposite of basically all of those had none of that yeah so I mean I lik Sam as a player and all but like we can call weaknesses where the weaknesses were so by and large um I like the setup a lot better for Jaden Daniels I think that they will have enough at receiver but I definitely think that like in year one let's get Jaden let's get the quarterback position right we have the number two pick in the draft we got to do it next year I think they're going to see hey okay how do these receivers play Let's invest there if we need to how's this offensive line play Oh shoot we need a left like we need to spend our top 10 pick at left tackle that's why we're picking in the top 10 let's do that or right tackle or they'll spend money like I could definitely see them spend money but I think one of the things on the waiver claims front is I would have expected them to possibly put a waiver claim in on an O lineman even if it was like a backup swing guard type yeah teams don't let go of good o lineman they just don't so you know the best they could do is bring Julian good Jones back on the practice squad and based off of Camp I he was one of the guys that we missed in our projection I thought he was going to make it and he didn't um but there he's back on the practice squad so at least you got him in reserve and I don't know realistically how much better they could have done yeah I don't either and you saw how much in free agency how much money was spent especially on the interior o linemen to these guys that were walking free agents and that's what it's going to cost to get those guys in the building because as you said teams don't let good ones go I do think we're going to see a a little bit of change at this point next year in free agency after we see what this team can be this year because I don't think players wanted to come to Washington last year and I think it was more of a wait and see approach of what this team could be and to me again maybe I'm just sort of uh hypnotized by all content I'm getting out of you and the other Washington uh videos that I'm watching here but I do think this year is going to be a little bit of more fun than years's pass I think that's the easiest way to say it and I do think during free agency next year people are gonna be like no I want to go play with Jaden Daniels I want to go play for Dan Quinn and that's going to help things out on the free agency side for them to spend money on bingo I mean you the first thing you said is the most important right in in that little uh or the the end of that uh that whatever it was Diet tribe monologue I guess not cuz I was sitting here you weren't angry there was no tiate people are going to want to play with Jaden Daniels one he's a great dude and everybody seems to love the kid two he's exciting as hell and he could Electrify this fan base to be a place where like people show up at the newly named Northwest field and they're like wow this atmosphere is not terrible um also they're investing a ton yeah well the name is uh it's the name of a stadium the name's not for us theast the the name is to line Josh Harris's bank account with money that he can then resend on the team it's a great name pays Northwest stadium in the Northeast we're off we're off kilter I interrupt nobody nobody goes to a stadium because it has a cool name that's the point yeah you were you wanted to challenge me and then you realized I was right lamb Lambo is a pretty cool name the razor was a pretty cool name well that's why we're gonna call it the Fed Northwest Federal Credit the FED shout out to JP Finley for that one but I I think that the um I think that uh you know people are going to want to play with Jaden he's going to create an exciting atmosphere they're going to win games I think over the long term because I think D Quinn is good enough at his job and possibly learn some things from his last failures as a head coach in Atlanta that are going to make him really good at his job um I love his process I love the way he thinks about the game like I'm a huge huge Dan Quinn fan so far but we haven't played any games yet but I do think Adam Peters is tremendous like there's a reason this dude was the most coveted GM Prospect in the league and by the way you now have one of the best owners I think the league who's just super duper smart about how to be an owner and that's that's cool cuz like being an owner is hard but I want an owner who asks well I would rather be an owner and to be clear like the job isn't that hard uh you're super rich and you do what the smart people say but you don't get Super Rich by often listening to other people and with the doses of humility you need to admit that exactly Verbatim what Josh Harris said in his press conference on Sunday just because I'm some great business businessman doesn't know what I'm doing in football football I'm not trying to make roster decisions I'm going to ask a ton of questions and by the way he's really smart so his questions would be good unlike Dan Snider's questions which sucked because Dan you know wasn't smart uh and then that hopefully helps the process of getting Adam Peters to to make sure he's thinking about the right things just kind of a gut check he probably will be anyway because he's really good at it and um then we see what kind of continuity they can have over the bunch of years like does Cliff get poached if Jaden's awesome or does he say like no I'm going to stay um that's something that's a huge benefit for say the Lions is like Ben Johnson now turned down not to reopen Old Wounds but he's turned down multiple head coaching Endeavors and that is the kind of Advantage from a continuity standpoint in Detroit that man like that is a that is a huge huge deal to have normally you need like Kyle or Shawn or one of these head coach types to have a head coach like Dan Campbell and an OC Ben Johnson for multiple years like that just doesn't happen in this league and you know hopefully hopefully um that can be something that that Washington has for years to come I also think with Dan Quinn and Cliff Kingsbury like yeah they'll they'll never not have a job in the NFL but to get the job they want this is a last stand for both of them I don't think Dan Quinn gets another head coaching job if he fails here I don't think Cliff Kingsbury is in charge of any type of offense or head coaching job if he fails here in the NFL so I am excited to see these guys because I think they're individually kind of Brilliant Minds they just didn't work out in the places that they were in and Dan's didn't work out for a bunch of different reasons I guarantee you Atlanta is angry that they fired them with what they've gotten in return since they let Dan Quinn go so I'm very excited to see how it all works out I would love to take Jaden Daniels as a rookie of the year candidate because that's how good I think he's going to be this year however Caleb Williams exists in Chicago and I hate to say it I've been wooed by the offseason that Chicago has had all the Hard Knocks press I hate the Chicago Bears from the bottom of my soul Craig and I still think they're going to win 10 games this year it's it's it makes me angry yeah no I I do think I'm also on the just like it's G to be Caleb because Caleb's sick um and I think he's got more like I I one of my number one like story lines of the year and really the next five years 10 years in the NFL is which of Chicago or Washington's approach winds up working and the answer could be both by the way there aren't one there are definitely wrong ways to raise a Young quarterback if you will there's not one singular right way and Chicago was like we think Caleb's awesome we think he's awesome right now we think that we can take advantage of the full five years of this rookie quarterback contract let's free go and they were like we're investing here we're investing a ton of money in the defense we're investing in wide receivers like we're going to hit the ground running year one and we're going to try to win and I respect the hell out of that I also don't know that most rookie quarterbacks that's actually the right move Caleb's pretty freaking special where Jaden I actually think that like you could do a version of that and it would work out all right but they are kind of taking the Long View of okay let's see what happens over the the course of the full five years of this rookie contract let's see what we have in house see what kind of almost INE efficiencies we can find in the market and I would assume that if he comes out and has a stoud esque rookie year they will hit the ground running hard in free agency and all that kind of stuff next year okay real quick before we wrap up first of all uh Mike Q's say hey Craig's got members now hell yeah we got members we've had members so for the 300 plus of you watching right now uh if you want to go to uh the the membership Tab and sign up uh we got two different levels of membership uh we have what we call our instant

we occasionally get into some other fun stuff as well so uh yeah we have memberships we we've gained a couple of members during this during this uh stream Tony love that what an amazing achievement Craig what an amazing achievement hang your hat on that one my friend and yeah speaking of the gambling advice even if you don't like gambling we do every time I'm on here I give out a best bet because that's what I do in my life and on my personal individual channels and I believe I'm going to be two for two on the WNBA bets I gave out on our last member stream those things are on fire right now we got bets all across the sporting Spectrum by the way if you want to follow Tony uh Tik Tok Instagram the whole deal uh at Tony squares so make sure that you check that out okay uh and Mike just joined Mike just joined right away bang love that all right with with that said uh here is your your bets not Beyond a pay wall the next ones you're gonna have to pay for Tony your NFL bets of the Season you want to give one you want to give two I know you have like 78 we don't have time for that how how many we want to go here there's a lot of them let me ask you this before we go and and maybe the members can answer do we want a high or do we want a low do we want a team that's going to overachieve or do we want a team that's going to be just the pits of despair what do you want to hear about Craig honestly knowing your sense of humor I want the pits of Despair there's no one who describes the pits of Despair quite like Tony squares I don't understand what these two teams have to make Vegas say they're going to win X amount of games on their schedule and these two teams both reside in the same division and I think they both are going to stink this year mostly because I don't believe in the quarterbacks that they have at their Helm and it's the Indianapolis Colts in the Tennessee Titans the Indianapolis Colts if you look at their individual statistics last year Shane Sten might be a genius he legitimately might be an offensive genius and I think he's going to be a really good head coach for that team however that team was one of the luckiest teams in the world with gardam menu last year third down fourth down conversion rate long conversion rate the big plays that they threw out there the way they won games and in last second field goals the one- scored differential that is all going to come back to the mean under a kid that I don't believe is very good at throwing the football in Anthony Richardson he was 32 out of 33 players in the four games he played in accuracy last year from the position and as we've seen in the preseason it doesn't look like it's going to get much better than that and he's playing behind an offensive line that people love but let up a lot of pressure because as we said quarterback sacks are a quarterback problem and Anthony Richardson was one of the worst at holding on to the ball and trying to make a play could siken improve that maybe but they're going to need to run the ball to be successful and last year uh this year their first 12 games there's only one defense outside of the top 12 in rushing efficiency on the defensive side of the ball so good luck trying to run the ball against indies's beginning of the schedule there I have them well under their 8 and 1 half win total I would take them under six and a half That's how little I think of them this year however the team I hate the most is this team that keeps signing defensive free agents with big names in Tennessee because I don't think defense is the problem in Tennessee I like this kid Callahan I like that he brought his his family in to help coach the offensive line I think again coming from that Cincinnati mindset the modern offense that Tennessee needed to see to have success was a good move it's not going to help this year uh this team last year obviously derck Henry was there King Henry there is no uh player that affected defenses more than Derrick Henry has no running back faced more heavy boxes more Defenders at the line of scrimmage than Derk Henry and will Levis last year excelled when throwing on those heavy boxes because there's less defensive backs now King Henry is gone you bring in Tony Pard it's going to make it harder on will Levis who was very Sam Howell last year and will be Sam Howell again this year in a team that wants to pass the ball to be successful that offensive line even if they spent draft Capital there even if they signed Lloyd cushenberry at Center it still has some very bad players on it was in the bottom five and pressure rate allowed last year and will Levis 26 in time to throw last year which allowed the third highest pressure rate on him when he was pressured he was 39th and pressure accuracy and 41st in success rate there's only 32 quarterbacks that start every week Craig so those numbers are worse than the worst starter possible I am completely out on the Tennessee offense this year and if we had more time I'd go through their individual schedule and how much the NFL screwed them over with that I think truly not only are they going to be under six and a half five and a half whatever their number is I think them at plus 1100 to have the worst record in the NFL is my favorite bet for bad teams this year it's a long shot of course you're not going to win many plus 1100s but that number is wrong I think Tennessee is a dumpster fire much like the DC food scene according to Keith Lee we're just gonna have to send people to the video that that the segment that we did on the radio yesterday to on the Keith Le thing we're gonna I'm just I'm not gonna engage you on that I will say this for Tennessee I like Brian Callahan a lot and famously Bill Callahan and I have a great relationship Tony that predates when Bill Callahan we didn't get along great Bill Bill wasn't a huge fan of mine because I wasn't a huge fan of his I have a lot of respect for Bill Callahan though I mean what he does I just think there's eventually diminishing returns because he drives his guys into the ground but in year one big boost so that offensive line the fact that bill is there I think that probably helps maybe some inferior talent but I actually think they're in a weird way in a situation similar like a cousin of what Washington is doing what they did was they were like we're going to give this Young quarterback a bunch of stuff we're going to give him a great head coach and and OC and Callahan we're going to give him a bunch of receivers we're going to have Bill Callahan coach up the offensive line and will Lis if you suck that tells us everything we need to know about will Levis yep so that's that's nice um might yeah they might they might be bad but at least then they'll know and then they'll draft another quarterback next year and and move on into the future so like long-term planning I actually like the plan in Tennessee shortterm you very well might be right Andy I'm not allowed to say a bad word about cuz um you know as you know my producer on the radio Anthony Haney his best friend zier Franklin and um I think zier and the Colts can do absolutely no wrong that's my personal opinion that's not biased at all not not shaded by anything um all right if you want more bets from Tony Tony squares on Tik Tok on Instagram uh you're on YouTube now too right you
