00:00How do you think Sam Darnold will do in Seattle?

00:04Here's the question, Scott.

00:06They blitzed him early, often, and that was the weakness, right, in the last two games

00:10against the Rams and Detroit.

00:13And that was with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Madison there.

00:16He's got JSN and nobody else.

00:18You don't have a pure number one wide receiver.

00:21He's going to be a deer in the headlights just again unless they get an elite talent

00:26in the upcoming draft.

00:27So expecting him to duplicate 35 plus touchdowns without Justin Jefferson in that lineup, I

00:33just don't see it.

00:34He's an upgrade, I believe, to Geno Smith, but not by much.

00:39I thought Sweat and Milt Williams both cashed in.

00:43I like those deals for them in Arizona and in Foxborough.

00:47Yeah, I do as well.

00:49I mean, you're talking about key defensive players.

00:52They stepped up.

00:53They got their money.

00:54They're not elite in terms of where they were a couple of years ago, but they're both Arizona

00:59and New England.

01:00I think they'll benefit both of those teams from a defensive perspective as well.

01:04Do you think Joey Bosa will ever be healthy in Buffalo?

01:09Maybe in the cold weather he'll stay healthy because he couldn't in the warm weather.

01:13You're right, but I mean, for the money, $12.5 million, I think it's a pretty good add for

01:18the Buffalo Bills.

01:19All you need Joey Bosa to play, Scotty, is for the playoff run, right?

01:23It doesn't matter about the regular season.

01:25Can he produce at an elite level when the AFC championship is on the line and you got

01:31him on the cheap?

01:32It's a great add for Buffalo as long as he's healthy, and as long as he's healthy for a

01:37playoff run, I think it's a pretty good add.

01:40The Bears got a bunch of bats up front in the trenches for Caleb Williams.

01:45Do you think it'll pan out?

01:47I think it'll pan out in terms of maybe Caleb, you know, progressing from last year because

01:53at times he was a deer in the headlights, he was sacked 50-plus times.

01:58Again, expecting this team, though, to be now because the offensive line is solidified

02:03and having Ben Johnson, that they're going to beat Green Bay, Detroit, and Minnesota

02:08and potentially be 4-2 or 5-1 in the division, I just don't see it.

02:12I think they can be a wildcard contender, but I don't know if they're going to have

02:16as an elite of an offense as what we saw in terms of Detroit with Jared Goff, Gibbs, and

02:23those playmakers in Detroit.
