With that 46 years at NFL films, Greg Kosales joined us. We all get smarter. All right, so I thought that was about as well as Caleb has played last week. He still misses layups. He had three passes in the first half that couple sailed.

Philadelphia's defense, especially defensive interior linebacker, is rangy and fast and aggressive. The corners are good. Your thoughts on what you're seeing from Caleb and how it matches up with that Philadelphia defense. Yeah, I thought Caleb, for the most part last week, was very controlled, very calculated. The biggest issue that he has, and I heard you're talking about the completion percentage, but the thing is he misses routine throws. Those are throws you can't miss. If he can clean that up, then his growth,

will be really, really positive. He's cut down a bit. Of course, I thought his O-line last week did a very, very good job against a tough Steelers pass rush. Obviously, High Smith has been out, but I thought the O'Line did a really good job. They played Ozzy Tripillo, the rookie from Boston College, a left tackle. I thought he played really well. So he was very controlled, very calculated, and I think the more he plays like that, you know, the number one stat for me, and you spoke about a lot of stats. But really for me, I think the best stat that really reflects a sense of growth is he does not get sacked a lot. And you and I both know at USC he got sacked a ton and last year he got

sacked a ton. And most people, as soon as you see a quarterback get sacked, they think it's on the O line. That's actually not the case. More sacks are the results of the quarterback than the old line. And this year, he's not getting sacked much at all. I think he's only been sacked 15 or 16 times. So to me, that's a sure sign of his better understanding of the offense, the offensive concepts, and obviously he's playing with a new coordinator, so he's developing very nicely. Philadelphia's offense. Sequin Barclay is a non-factor. Now, is it like in baseball, like in baseball, there's arm fatigue. Like a guy comes off a big 300 in a year in spring training. It's a dead arm. I mean, it just doesn't feel like he's got the juice, or is it the

O.C. Is it the O line? How do we describe what's going on with Sequin and the Eagles offense? I mean, I would say the O line is the biggest culprit, Colin. I would say that Juergens has not played anywhere near as well as he did a year ago. The same can be said for Landon Dickerson at left guard, and Jordan Myelotta has not played well this year at all. So what's happening is Barkley does not get past the first level of the defense. Last year, he had the most yard gained before first contact of any back in the league. This year he's near the very bottom. He only gains about two yards before first contact, so he's not getting past the first level of the defense. So it's almost hard to tell what Barkley is because you're not seeing him get out into

space. I mean, when he ran 65 yards for a touchdown a number of weeks ago on the second play of the game, he ran away from the defense with no problem. But the O line to me has been the biggest culprit. You know, you can always get into other things you can try. You know, that's not the way the Eagles have played. The Eagles are basically sticking with the formula that, hey, we have to execute what we do better. And this year, that hasn't worked because the O-O-Lion has not been able to play very well. So, Shanoor Sanders, I said, I predicted he'll be 13 to 18 and he was thereabouts. I said he'll have one ugly pick. I think the best thing I can say is, that he doesn't, there's a looseness.

He's kind of a, you know, sometimes to his detriment. He doesn't let the game, he's not intimidated. I don't think he gets necessarily frenetic. He does throw the ball down the field more than Dylan Gabriel. But when I watched him, Greg, I'm like, oh, that's kind of what I saw at Colorado. He can miss badly, but overall, he gives him more of a big play component, doesn't he? Well, his best play, and it was a great play, and there's no way to say that other than that, was that long pass to Isaiah Bond on third down when they win zero blitz,

and he was forced out of the pocket immediately, and he threw it to Bond, the ball traveled 60 yards in the air. That was against zero coverage. It was a great ball. But for the most part, Colin, they didn't ask him to do very much. I watched that tape, and any time it was third and long, there was a screen. either a conventional screen or a tunnel screen to a whiteout. The touchdown to Samson here came on third and long, and it jacked up his yardage, obviously. So it was a tough game to get a true read on what he is.

We'll need to see a game because they controlled that game. There was no sense in that game that Cleveland was not in control of the game. So we need to see a lot more. I came away from that tape, and I know people want to make immediate judgments about him, based on whatever their point of view is. But this was not a game to make any kind of definitive judgment about Chodor Sanders. I claim after watching Brock Prudy on Monday, his toes not right.

All three of his picks, two of them especially, behind the receiver and didn't have a ton of velocity. Now, he does have multiple picks in four of his like five starts. Right. There is, you know, listen, professional athletes, Lamar Jackson, I don't think is 100%. they're not going to go out and advertise it. I didn't think Purdy had the velocity. I thought his ball just kept throwing behind people. What did you make of it?

Well, I think that when Purdy's at his best, he is a high-level post-snap processor and with incredible anticipation. I think both those things, which made him so good, his first two years in his career and even much of last season, you're not seeing those two things at the same level that we've seen them in the past. And that's what he has to play as, because he's not a velocity thrower to begin with, Colin, as you know. He's not a guy that's going to sit on his

back foot and drive the football at the intermediate level. So right now, the post-snap operation for him is not quite at the same level we've seen before. And what happens there, the result of that is the anticipation is just a notch late. And that's what we saw, the first interception by Horn, not the one we're looking at now, but the first. one was a classic example of that he was just a beat late turning it loose and it allowed horn to undercut Jennings so yeah this is the one i'm speaking about the last interception by horn you really can't put on purdy that was about as good a play by a corner as you'll ever see there's no way that a quarterback would have accounted for horn on the play we're looking at right now okay let's talk

chief's cowboys um yep you know we all kind of um you know poke fun at jerry jones but But overshone now that he's healthy. He was great at Texas. He is a player. They're still getting pressure on the quarterback without Micah. Quinen Williams and Kenny Clark have made it much more difficult to run on them. I mean, this defense, and they're going to get an edge rusher in the draft, they got two first round picks. You know they're going to address that.

I don't know. My eyes tell me just on their defense. Forget offense yet. On defense. Right. They're pretty athletic. That's what I see. Yeah, I mean, those three interior delinemen with Williams, with Clark, and Diggi Zua are really, really good.

And they were a problem last week for the Eagles. Their concern and their linebacker, you mentioned overshone their linebacker position, they're playing a lot of guys, they have a deep rotation, they're clearly more athletic. The concern for them is at the corner position. And that weakness, and I believe it's a weakness, can crop up in any game. never know when that'll be. It did not hurt them in any great way last week against Philadelphia, but that's Philadelphia. Now they're playing the Chiefs, and the Chiefs are a very odd passing team. Mahomes could be one of the most unique players that I've ever evaluated and studied throughout his career, Colin, because he's not really a pocket technician the way we think of pocket technicians.

he's truly a playmaker, and he has unbelievable vision, unbelievable awareness of what he's seeing. Now, he can make throws from the pocket. I don't want to suggest he can't do that. But when you watch their tape week in and week out and study every play as I do when I watch the coaching tape, you don't see a ton of refined subtlety in their pass game, particularly at the intermediate level.

Mahomes has the most passing attempts, most passing completions, and most passing yards behind the line of scrimmage of any quarterback in the league. It's a very odd mix, but he's just a different cat, and he's very difficult to play against. Listen, I say this about the Cowboys. Dak is having a year, two-star receivers. The young old line is a little unpredictable and pass pro. Pretty good run-blocking line, it seems to me.

Their guards are really good. Really good guards. Very few three-in-outs. They're excellent on third down. Still too many penalties. But we can credit Dak, Schottenheimer, George Pickens. This offense is absolutely legit.

There's no reason. I mean, Jerry Jones may be a better GM than we give him credit for. But on film, I think they can really go after defense in the draft because I like what I see. I think it's an elite, exceptional offense. Well, I bet most people would be surprised by this given stat. Giovante Williams has the second most first down rushes of any back in the league. Wow.

And he's rarely ever talked about. And he's averaging 5.3 yards per carry on first down. The only back, believe it or not, that has more first down rushes than Williams is not Jonathan Taylor. It's James Cook. So they run the ball on first down. This is not just a let's toss it all over the yard passing game. And George Pickens, you know, I remember watching him his freshman year at Georgia, okay?

and he dominated the SEC as a freshman at Georgia. He is so extremely gifted. Now, normally they line him up as the boundary X, the single receiver, to the short side of the field, but they're starting to move him around, Colin. And he is a very, very difficult cover. And just in terms of physical, athletic traits and hands, he's a top five receiver in the league.

Wow. Yeah, no, he was something else at Georgia. All right, let's talk Packers, Lions, early game on Fox tomorrow. So now last week was tricky because I believe Matt LaFleur because Jordan loves non-throwing shoulders banged up was protecting him. And I also think they didn't think J.J. McCarthy could move the ball against their defense. So they were hyper conservative. Hyper. And that was the game plan. But overall this year, I watched Green Bay and I've told the audience they're actually good.

But for the first time in 30 years, it's their defense that feels like it carries the offense. So that's not Green Bay. Do you think the offense is a little broken or it's just more of their top talents on the other side? I don't think the offense is broken. I think, you know, and again, I don't know about Love's shoulder. Maybe that was the reason. But I think that Maddell Flores always wanted to have a balanced offense. You know, the one thing we did notice last week with Love is that he did not really push it down the field.

I think he had only one pass attempt that went, more than 20 yards in the air from the line of scrimmage, but we know he's capable of making those throws. He does not turn the ball over very much. He plays very controlled and efficient football. I'm sure it wasn't on anybody's bingo card that Emmanuel Wilson would have 28 carries, but that's the way that game played out. And I think that he wants to play that way. Again, 28 carries is a lot. That's more than in most games, even if you do want to run the football. But I don't think, you know, from studying Love on tape this year, I don't think loves play poor You know, it's just, it's, it's, it's been one of those odd years where they just haven't hit

the same number of big explosive plays that we've seen them hit in the past. But this defense has played well, and I think that's in this game where the rubber is going to meet the road because the Lions, since Dan Campbell took over the play calling, they really want to run the football. I think he's gotten back to putting Goff under center. They want that for the run game. They want that for the play action pass game, which they're really good at and have been for a number of years.

and I think that in this particular matchup, that the Lions, particularly at home, are going to feel like we have to line up and we have to run the football. Okay, and let's talk about the Lions. Listen, Jemir Gibbs is just doesn't even look like other. I mean, he gets shot out of a cannon. He saved him last week. I mean, he is in that, you know, nobody always says don't draft a running back early. The kid at Notre Dame, Jeremiah, I love to me, looks like a first round running back. I don't have a problem.

I think every other year there's a running back I watch in college and go, Zeke, Barclay. Like, okay, that's a first round running back. Jamir Gibbs. What does Jemir Gibbs look on? I know what he looks like at my television. What's he looked like on film? Well, I remember watching him the summer after he played at Georgia Tech

before he was transferred to Alabama. And I thought this guy was ridiculously special then. But Gibbs, you know, what every offense looks for is explosive plays. And he gives you that. And again, it's the eye formation. And the thing about Gibbs, the thing last week was Gibbs played 50 snaps and Montgomery only played 23. Now, I don't know if that's going to continue throughout the rest of the season. But let's take a look at Gibbs because I think just his speed is just crazy.

And that's the play I chose. You know, we always talk quarterbacks, Colin. But I think when you talk about the lions, you kind of have to look at Jemir Gibbs. I mean, he's had some huge games. You nailed it. He saved them last week. I mean, he gained 219 yards rushing. Here's the play that we want to break down.

And again, I spoke about the fact that since Dan Campbell took over, you're seeing more eye formation. You're seeing that here. Gough is under center. Gibbs is the eye back. This is the way they want to, I think, start their offense. And one of the things that really stood out last week, 6-0-line personnel. Okay, 15 snaps of it, and they gained 37% of their total yards out of 6-0-line personnel. and Dan Skipper was the sixth-o alignment.

So he played 15 snaps. And on this play, with Wright, where he's lined up, this is a run formation all the way. And what they're going to do here is run outside zone to the wide side of the field. So now what you're going to do here is you're going to see the four playside blocks. And this is done about as well as you can do it as we watch this, and you're going to see it in slow motion. But this is just getting a hat on a hat. This is about as good as it gets, playside. And you can see everybody on the O line, the 4 O alignment, and right, the tight end, they are blocking exceedingly well.

Now, the key thing with a lot of zone runs, because what are you trying to do? Stretch the front side and cut off the backside. So the backside is critical. And the critical block here is by Taylor Decker, the left tackle. This is a really hard block. It's a backside cutoff block. In fact, this is a block, Colin, that a lot of O-line coaches look when they evaluate college offensive linemen, they look to see if this block can be made because this is a really difficult block.

And look at what Decker does. He's able to get inside of the defensive linemen. That is really hard. And then you see the other block by the left guard here. And that's the gap in which Gibbs is going to run through. Gibbs makes himself skinny. And what do we know about Gibbs? I mean, he is so fast.

I mean, when he gets to the second level, hey, we spoke earlier about Barclay, he's not getting to the second level. Right. Here Gibbs gets to the second and now third level, and the juice he has, he just outruns angles. So I'm going to be fascinated. You talked about the Packers' defense. To me, that side of the ball is the most fascinating in this matchup to me, the Lions' Offense Packers' Defense.

Greg Kossel, on a Wednesday, happy Thanksgiving to you and everybody at NFL all films. You too, Colin. Really enjoyed it. Thanks so much.

one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad

Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. J-Mac with the news. No, no, no, no.

Turn on the news. This is the herd line news. All right, let's start with CD Lamb. Colin, you know, it's funny. Pickens is having such a good season. We're not talking about CD Lamb and all his drops. He had three drops against the Eagles on Sunday. Remember, in week one, he also had three drops.

Yep. That's kind of crazy. He's got eight on the season, and he says, yeah, I know that's a problem. It's really just lack of focus on my end. Honestly, just thinking of doing two before one, And there's been plenty of that going on. And by that, I mean, I'm thinking about my next move before catching the ball and things of that nature. There's not really much on anybody else but myself, and I've never been a type to really point the finger.

But, yeah, it's all on me, and I got to handle that. Yeah, it's mostly been against the Eagles. And the two Eagle games, he's really had a bunch of drops. I still think he's a number one. He's just maybe, you know, those are big games, those are great corners, there's a lot of pressure in those. That's the biggest rival for him. Maybe it's that. But listen, I still trust him.

If the ball's in the air, he's a tremendous player. So if you're scoring at home, remember in Vegas, he said, I can hold my liquor. So he can hold on to his liquor. Can't hold on to the football against the Eagles. Obviously, C.D's really good. I just wonder if Pickens has been so good that maybe lands in his head about shucks. I mean, Pickens got more looks than he did. More targets last year.

Well, they're different. I understand that. But CD gets real separation, whereas I always feel like Pickens is stronger, more of a less catching rate. Yeah, but he's so good after the catch. I mean, listen, I always thought Pickens was a talented too. I wouldn't build around him. He's been a dominant one this year. Yeah, 100%.

All right, let's move on to Jaden Daniels. A forgotten man, a forgotten season. The Washington quarterback suffered that nasty elbow injury on November 2nd. Head coach Dan Quinn said this week, Daniels is set to return to practice, but he has not yet been cleared for contact. Colin, just help me make sense of this. They're three and eight. They're not going to the playoffs.

And Jaden Daniels is out here saying, if I'm back out there unhealthy, I'm ready to go. I want to be out there. Like, I don't know. I'm extra cautious with stars in the NBA, in the NFL. I don't want to see Jaden Daniels on the field again this season. What's the point? He's a pro athlete and he's competitive and wants to. apply. That's great.

Yeah, that's wonderful. In any field, you're healthy, you're aggressive, you're competitive, I want to be on the field. I think I have no problem, him playing. I really don't. I think young quarterbacks need more reps. It's one thing again, if he was 37 years old,

it was Matt Stafford or Aaron. That's different. Young guys, get him out there. He's still in the learning process of how to be a quarterback. Get him snaps. He's also learning how to play behind that rotten offensive line, which is getting him killed. And so he's running for his life and getting hurt.

Colin, you get injured in December and it's major. You're going to miss part of next season. You can't think about that when you play. You know what you can do? You can have them on the headset listening on the sideline and you get a higher draft pick. How about this? Would you rather win six games, go six and 11 with Jane Daniels playing down the stretch and pick 11th or win four games and draft, I don't know, fifth with Jane Daniels

sitting? Think about the long term. I think either fifth or 11th, you're getting a starter. you're probably getting an offensive tackle that starts at left or right for you. Because there's three great O tackles, and at least two of them will be available by the 11th pick. So what they want, they're going to get regardless. And by the way, they have two games left against the Eagles

who will be fighting for the number one seat. You want your quarterback suiting up against those Eagles? That defense is nasty. Here's a commando schedule. Yeah, I mean, come on. The Denver defense? That's a nasty unit. Brian Flores, all he wants.

wants to do as Blitz. The New York Giants, Eagles, Cowboys, I don't know, man. I'm extra cautious. Just mark me down as I want my stars healthy when it matters. And this game don't mean anything. Final story, Colin, there's been a lot of rumors about one Kevin Stefanski intentionally withholding opportunities from Shadur Sanders. I think we both think this is laughable.

However, Cleveland's new quarterback one, Shadur talked about his relationship with Stefanski. Here we go. Definitely like a coach. You know, he tells me what I need to do on and off the field. We've definitely grown. Our relationship and everything is grown, so I'm just thankful to be here. I'm definitely not comfortable, though.

So that's first and foremost that I have another opportunity to go out there. But in life, you got to understand how quickly things come or how long it comes. It could be taken at any point of time. Yeah, I like that. Is there any coded language there? It can be taken at any point in time. Our relationship has grown. Imagine if after year one I came on the herd.

I'm like, Colin, our relationship has grown. It did. That's Reed. You didn't like me at the beginning. No, that's that you eventually stopped wearing bicep shirts and grew up. Jay Mack with the news. Well, that's the news. And thanks for stopping by.

The Herd Line News. I'm interested to see Jay Max picks. We have a fun show. What a fun week. It's The Herd. Be sure to catch live edition. of the herd weekdays in noon eastern 9 a.m. Pacific. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?

We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. And we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jenchian win.

Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports. Thanksgiving is upon us and the NFL is serving up a full plate of matchups beginning tomorrow right here on Fox.

I already, I already, I have JMAX five picks. His last pick is, is I already know which way it's going because it's a really great pick. And I know exactly what you're going to say, why you like the team you like. But we'll let the audience wait for about five minutes. But I think your last pick is really a sharp pick. So we call this tomorrow's headlines today. Packers Lions. I think we disagree here.

What do you say? Yeah, you know, listen, I love the Thanksgiving games. of all, Casey Dowell is going to be great. We'll get there shortly. But this game I'm fascinated with, Colin, I really do believe one of these teams could be Super Bowl-bound. The headline for Packers Lions will be. Let me see you, Cassie Roll. Motown gets green baked. Yes, sir. Give me the Green Bay Packers here. Colin, how about this stat? This is the first time the Packers have been underdogs all season. First time, I'm telling you, there's a big disconnect between with the public seas with Green Bay and what they've seen this season and what the

market thinks. I'm just telling you, if you think the Packers are the side this week, you probably want to bet them to win the Super Bowl, because I'm telling you, this is a great matchup for the Packers. They run a lot of stunts, right, Colin, where Michael Parsons starts on the edge and then comes in. Guess where Detroit's weakest, interior offensive line? Goff got beat up last week by the Giants. And speaking of last week, I know you want to kind of pooh-poo it. Ah, that was a look-ahead game. I get that. You know, that's fine. The defense was on the field for 77 plays against James Winston and company. Okay, I think even though Love has a busted up shoulder and he had to hand off with his right hand, regardless of which side, not great.

I think the Packers have some success. Keep an eye on Christian Watson against the Detroit man defense. Watson's a burner, indoors. There's a world where he erupts. I'm starting him in all my fantasy leagues. I like the Packers here, Colin. Tomorrow's headlines today. Chiefs at the Cowboys. I think I'm 5'0 picking against the Chiefs this season. No, that was my off-season take. I'm Public Enemy Number 1 in KC. The headline for Chiefs Cowboys will be.

Simply C. Delicious. Boys pickens their teeth and go DAC for seconds. Yes, I'm going with Dallas here. It's weird. This is the same team, Colin, that lost to Arizona at home. Remember that a couple weeks ago? Yeah. And then they lost to Carolina on the road, and we know Carolina's not good.

But for whatever reason, for the big boys, Dallas shows up. Both games against Philly were really close and tight. and they pulled one out. I do believe this Dallas offense is going to give Casey a world of problems. You know Spagnolo. What's his DNA? Blitz, Blitz, Blitz. You had the stat earlier.

Dax's like one of the best quarterbacks in the league against a blitz this season. And I know McDuffie is thought of as a superstar. He's better on the inside. He's playing a lot of outside. He's having a good season. But he's not like a lockdown corner that he was when they had Sneed on the outside. Now, just to be clear, Kansas City first indoor game this season. Yeah.

Worthy and rice, they could eat. But what I, Kansas City weird, like the last three weeks, Colin, they played run heavy teams, Denver, Buffalo, and then last week, I'm forgetting. Oh, the Colts with Jonathan Taylor. Dallas is not run heavy. So I do believe there's going to be points here. I'm only over. And give me the three and a half. The hook, if you can get it.

Dallas Cowboys, I like him to win outright, Colin. All right. Tomorrow's headlines today. Big AFC South Battle. Texans better at home usually at the Colts. You know, not a sexy game, but this is one of my bigger ones this month. The headline for Colts Texans will be lost track of time. Texans salty after dashes of Danny.

Yes, I do believe the Texans are overvalued here coming off that win against Buffalo. By the way, Buffalo's tackles were both beat up in that game. Neither of them is practicing right now. So that's part of why Will Anderson and Hunter looks so good in that game. At the same time, I'm keeping a track on C.J. Stroud. So he's at practice as of like six minutes ago, still has not been cleared from concussion protocol, but he might be.

And that would be a big get back. But this is about the Colts, Colin. Remember, last few games, they played outdoors at Pittsburgh look kind of slow. They played outdoors last week against Casey. Look kind of slow. The game in Berlin didn't have the same pop. They're coming back to the dome now, Colin.

I think this is a stikin special. Danny Dimes has a real big game. And keep an eye on Jonathan Taylor, obviously on the ground. I like the Colts here at home. him, Sauce Gardner, also versus Nico Collins, I think that's a good matchup. I don't know if you saw this. The Patrick Mahomes passing chart last week, he did not throw to the left side of the

field at all, like zero completions. Sauce Gardner was over there a lot. So I think Sauce really changes the calculus of this defense. I like the Colts. Tomorrow's headlines today. I got a feeling I know where you're leaning here. Raiders at the Chargers, Chargers off a buy. So me and a buddy are still alive and Survivor, and we like the Chargers this week.

I know divisional matchups are scary, but the headline for Chargers Raiders will be much ado about stuffing. Chargers keep the Gentie in a bottle. That's assuming Gentie even plays, Colin. He got busted up the ankle. I mean, listen, the Raiders are in disarray. I don't know what to make of your boy Chip Kelly. He got fired. They fired his right-hand man.

I mean, they got some guy who's been there forever calling plays. I don't really understand how they have a chance here against Harbaugh and Company. Did you see what Harbaugh did, by the way, for the team? Gave them extra days off on the by week. Just to kind of recalibrate, chill out, get your mind right after getting spanked by the Jags. I think the Chargers are okay here. By the way, they destroyed the Raiders in two matchups last season. I think a big coaching edge for Harbaugh.

And they have Derwin James. Remember, he's like the Travis Kelsey stopper. I think he does a good enough job on Brock Bowers. He did a good job twice last season that I think the Chargers get it done, really hoping that Omerian Hampton, the great rookie rookie running back. I hope he returns. Still no clarity if he's going to be back this week. This final one, I think I probably should have included this in the Blazing Five. Tomorrow's headlines today, the weary giants travel again this time to the Patriots.

Yeah, Giants, I don't know what to make of this team. So they covered against Detroit. They nearly beat Green Bay outright. They got to push there. James is showing up. Do you start them again or Jackson Dart? The headline for Patriots, Giants, Giants. on Sunday will be. Diggs in a blanket. Pats wrap things up before dinner. I'm rolling with Drake Nate a little reluctantly. Colin, I just saw the news. Will Campbell, the rookie left tackle, just placed on IR. So he's out this week out for the next four. That's not great news, given the Giants having edge rushers galore with Brian Burns and company. So I have some skepticism, but this is just basically hand the ball off to Stevenson and Henderson and let them cook.

right the giants have the worst run defense in the league by a mile Gibbs just went for two to 15 or whatever on the ground so I think this is pretty easy but I do wonder con the back of my head are the Patriots like getting a little fatigued as the pressure wearing on them because they have not looked amazing the last couple weeks that came against Cincinnati was disappointing all the all the failures inside the five yard line so I'm on the Patriots here it's i like a flat seven better than a seven and a half um I don't know jamis Winston keeps shocking me the way he's playing. I did not see this out of him, but I'm rolling with the Patriots here as big favorites. You know, we talked about it this week is I've never really thought about it this way,

but something just came up to me watching James Winston this week is that there's three kinds of quarterbacks. There's franchise guys, and there's always been backups. And you can tell the backups, they get drafted fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh round, or it's a high round pick that you know pretty early is not going to work. James is the classic to me, bridge. You can start him for a year and win eight or nine games. I think honestly, right now in Carolina, they're trying to figure out what Bryce Young is. Is he like the best bridge in the league? Because he's all over the map. I mean, and he's got two good receivers. He's got a star back. The defense is better. He's all over the map. He's in the 80s on Pat. And he's got an

offensive coach. Bryce Young should be better. It's also a weak, wonky division. So it's like, it's Bryce Young. Mac Jones, by the way, I think is a great bridge. I'm not building around him. Now, I think Sam Donald is a franchise guy. I think a lot of people before Seattle were very, you know, they were very cynical, like, ah, it was Minnesota. Now you watch him and you're like, okay, he's a franchise guy. Winning record Carolina, great year Minnesota, great year in Seattle. Mack Jones, bridge guy, I think Bryce Young probably falls into that. But when you ask about James Winston, he is the classic bridge. Like, you're not going to, to build around him and hire coordinators for him. But dude, if I said against the Patriots,

he threw for four touchdowns, you would not be shot. And he also threw three picks. Let me ask you. You mentioned Bryce Young as a bridge guy. Do you keep him one more year? You do not extend him and you draft a guy like Carson Beck, which is his polar opposite. I know nobody likes Beck. Listen, man, he's going to be drafted, okay? He's six four with a huge arm. He's the opposite of Young, who's small and was highly touted. So I think you're probably on to something there. I know is if James is a bridge, I don't want him bridging anybody with the New York Jets. Keep him with the Giants.

No, no, no. Maybe it's two weeks of fools gold. I don't want him with the Jets. I mean, I think Justin Fields, we've gotten to a point. He may just be a backup. Yeah, he's definitely not even a bridge, no. Yeah, no, he's moved out of the bridge.

But there, I will say, in this quarterback class, I think Mack Jones, I'll tell you another guy that's very interesting, Davis Mills. I got to tell you, I'm watching them. I don't think you go into week one, in Davis Mills and your whole team is going to think like, what are we doing? We're not going on the world with Davis.

I thought he was pretty good against the bills. I mean, he didn't shrink. He's solid. Come on. All right. Maybe I like bridges more than you. I'm getting old. I'll start playing bridge here pretty quick. The bridges of Colin Cowherd County.
