Also, your injury we you're bandaged up, um.
00:01:25.896 --> 00:01:32.941
You know we can't really on camera really get the full impact of what's going on, but I know your lip is swollen pretty big.
00:01:32.941 --> 00:01:37.531
You've got, uh, the bandage there, but it's uh, um, yeah, a lot going on there.
00:01:37.531 --> 00:01:47.522
So we got to get the, we got to get the lowdown on what happened with that uh and we'll we'll touch on that in a, in a second as well all right, all right, man.
00:01:47.903 --> 00:01:50.507
So um, again, pick them pros.

We uh have a fire show for you we're gonna get into.
00:01:55.162 --> 00:01:56.766
We're gonna recap week one.
00:01:56.766 --> 00:01:58.631
Week one got off to a great start.
00:01:58.631 --> 00:02:00.283
We had all 16 games.
00:02:00.283 --> 00:02:02.027
Desmond clark killed it.
00:02:02.027 --> 00:02:03.109
He was phenomenal.
00:02:03.109 --> 00:02:06.539
He went 14 and 2, so was phenomenal.
00:02:06.539 --> 00:02:07.861
You had a pretty good week too, man.
00:02:07.861 --> 00:02:10.610
You went 12 and 4 so, uh, that's your record.
00:02:10.610 --> 00:02:11.814
That's not bad.
00:02:11.814 --> 00:02:15.002
Well, this isn't about me you know what I?
00:02:15.022 --> 00:02:16.507
mean, I'm a team guy.
00:02:16.507 --> 00:02:17.549
You know what I'm saying.
00:02:17.549 --> 00:02:20.080
So this is not about me, this is about my team.
00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.385
So I'm choosing to highlight my teammates.
00:02:22.385 --> 00:02:23.647
You know, you and Des.
00:02:23.647 --> 00:02:24.751
That's what I'm doing right now.
00:02:24.751 --> 00:02:25.772
You know what I mean.
00:02:25.772 --> 00:02:28.245
Okay, is that good for you?
00:02:28.245 --> 00:02:28.284
I?
00:02:29.187 --> 00:02:29.528
don't know.
00:02:29.528 --> 00:02:32.789
I just want the people to probably want to know what your record is.
00:02:34.825 --> 00:02:35.618
We will get to that.
00:02:35.618 --> 00:02:37.907
That is coming up very soon.
00:02:37.907 --> 00:02:39.186
I'm sure people want to know my record.
00:02:39.186 --> 00:02:43.949
That is coming up very, very soon, so we'll jump on that very soon.
00:02:43.949 --> 00:03:14.104
All right, man, hey, shout out the Kings.
00:03:14.104 --> 00:03:14.985
We had our show there last week.
00:03:14.985 --> 00:03:22.568
School basketball team will be, uh, joining us live on set to talk about the upcoming season, because clayton has got a fire basketball team and has a good shot to go all the way.
00:03:22.568 --> 00:03:24.612
So, uh, we can't wait to have him on.
00:03:24.612 --> 00:03:25.382
So that's going to be good.
00:03:25.382 --> 00:03:30.020
We have a lot of other special guests that we'll announce as well in the coming weeks.
00:03:30.361 --> 00:03:31.885
All right, well, you ready to get into it?
00:03:31.885 --> 00:03:33.931
My man, yeah, ready to get into the show?
00:03:33.931 --> 00:03:35.882
All right, all right, well, let's get into this.
00:03:35.882 --> 00:03:37.504
Let's start off with recapping week one.
00:03:37.504 --> 00:03:41.031
Let's do that, and then we'll touch on many other things, but let's go into week one.
00:03:41.031 --> 00:03:45.157
Let's do that, and then we'll touch on many other things, but let's go into week one.
00:03:45.157 --> 00:03:54.143
So, before we do that, des sent a video that he liked to play in terms of week one, so let's go ahead and dive into that.
00:03:54.143 --> 00:03:57.591
I wonder what he's got to say about his week one victory lap.
00:03:57.591 --> 00:03:58.640
Let's hear it.
00:03:58.700 --> 00:04:06.914
So I did something that was never done before in Pick'em Pro history A 14-2 week 14-2?
00:04:06.914 --> 00:04:06.914
.
00:04:06.914 --> 00:04:09.104
Have you ever done that, Derek?
00:04:09.104 --> 00:04:10.506
Have you ever done that Diego?
00:04:10.506 --> 00:04:11.764
No, I didn't think so.
00:04:11.764 --> 00:04:16.348
I did it, I did it and I'm looking to repeat that this week.
00:04:16.348 --> 00:04:18.007
So let's make that the number one thing.
00:04:18.007 --> 00:04:22.709
Hey, I kick butt last week and we're coming back to kick butt again this week.
00:04:25.461 --> 00:04:29.208
Man, so so, so unnecessary, that's very unnecessary.
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:37.848
Yeah, it wasn't very necessary yeah yeah, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know if that was quite necessary to say all of that.
00:04:37.848 --> 00:04:40.793
Des, yeah, yeah, interesting.
00:04:40.793 --> 00:04:43.067
But you know, if he wants to go that way, that's fine.
00:04:43.067 --> 00:04:52.310
You know, in true karma fashion Shannon Sharp, karma fashion he is 0-1 on this week right now.
00:04:52.310 --> 00:05:04.863
So we got the bills right, which we'll talk about in a little bit, so I think he's in line for a beatdown this week, but he got off to a start, he got off to a good little lead.
00:05:04.863 --> 00:05:06.764
You know we are the pros in this.
00:05:06.764 --> 00:05:09.271
You know he may have played professional football and all that.
00:05:09.271 --> 00:05:16.362
That's great, okay, but you know that that's solid, like you said that's solid yeah, I like the way you say that's solid des.
00:05:16.903 --> 00:05:20.632
But when it comes to these picks, you know we, this is what we do.
00:05:20.632 --> 00:05:27.050
I mean, I was the undisputed champion uh, season one, right, and then you were the co-champ with him.
00:05:27.050 --> 00:05:27.812
So he's never.
00:05:27.812 --> 00:05:29.314
He's never won it outright.
00:05:29.314 --> 00:05:36.766
You know a lot of trash talking for somebody that hasn't won it outright, all right.
00:05:36.766 --> 00:05:41.800
Well, yeah, but let's get into man the recap there.
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.072
So talk about, talk about week one, man.
00:05:44.072 --> 00:05:48.064
What, what stood out to you any, any surprises, or what's what's up with week one?
00:05:49.146 --> 00:05:50.470
so week one was cool.
00:05:50.470 --> 00:05:51.812
Um, week one was cool.
00:05:51.812 --> 00:05:55.586
Um, I like the uh, uh, I like how the chiefs look.
00:05:55.586 --> 00:05:58.512
You know, against the ravens that was a solid game.
00:05:58.512 --> 00:06:00.141
And uh, yeah, I enjoyed week one.
00:06:00.141 --> 00:06:01.440
I enjoyed my record too.
00:06:01.440 --> 00:06:05.223
12 and four, that's a solid record, you know, that's not bad.
00:06:05.223 --> 00:06:08.184
I mean second place this week, but on any4, that's a solid record.
00:06:08.184 --> 00:06:08.745
That's not bad.
00:06:08.745 --> 00:06:12.447
Got me second place this week, but on any given week that's usually going to get me first.
00:06:12.466 --> 00:06:13.687
That would normally get you first.
00:06:13.687 --> 00:06:19.949
In week one there's so many upsets and I went crazy, I did a whole lot of upsets.
00:06:19.949 --> 00:06:21.031
I was a little reckless.
00:06:21.031 --> 00:06:25.552
Week one Picked a lot of upsets, but there were.
00:06:25.552 --> 00:06:28.894
I think the Steelers pulled the win out in Atlanta.
00:06:28.894 --> 00:06:30.055
That was one that stood out again.
00:06:30.055 --> 00:06:34.257
Chiefs took care of business, the Patriots that was a huge.
00:06:34.257 --> 00:06:39.540
That was a big, big surprise there, them winning that one.
00:06:39.721 --> 00:06:44.165
You know the Bengals are the Bengals going to take shape?
00:06:44.165 --> 00:06:50.151
You had T Higgins had pulled the hamstring the Thursday before, before the season started.
00:06:50.151 --> 00:06:52.954
Some people are questioning the legitimacy of that.
00:06:52.954 --> 00:06:54.235
I wouldn't quite question that.
00:06:54.235 --> 00:07:04.009
But there is a lot of unrest on that team, with both receivers fighting to get paid and Burrow's wrist isn't quite where it needs to be.
00:07:04.009 --> 00:07:10.752
There's a lot of um, you know, red flags with the bangles, yet again to start a season.
00:07:10.752 --> 00:07:12.336
So they're looking.
00:07:12.336 --> 00:07:16.122
They're looking a little shaky, which again helps the chiefs, uh, coast through.
00:07:16.122 --> 00:07:17.363
But uh, yeah, man, yeah.
00:07:17.363 --> 00:07:23.951
But the bills, the buffalo bills, the Buffalo Bills, they look really good.
00:07:23.951 --> 00:07:29.716
They got off to a slow half against in their week one game.
00:07:29.716 --> 00:07:40.411
They got off to a slow first half but then, once they turned it on, they were great and they just played that right into Miami and beat down the Dolphins.
00:07:41.492 --> 00:07:42.014
You called it.
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:47.781
Yeah, I mean I said the Bills wereills were gonna win, but I wouldn't go on to say they looked amazing.
00:07:47.781 --> 00:07:55.505
You know, in the first game they barely beat the Arizona Cardinals one of the worst teams last year at home.
00:07:55.505 --> 00:08:00.678
And then, um, this week against the Dolphins, tua got knocked out.
00:08:00.678 --> 00:08:02.444
Well, he knocked himself out the game.
00:08:02.444 --> 00:08:06.800
And then, um, yeah, and they had to play without Tua.
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:17.305
And yeah, I don't know if the Bills really, uh, played all that great just in that game yeah, well, it's so in the.
00:08:17.345 --> 00:08:18.427
Let's dissect that a little bit.
00:08:18.427 --> 00:08:20.839
So the week one game yeah, the Cardinals came out.
00:08:20.839 --> 00:08:21.541
They look good.
00:08:21.541 --> 00:08:28.041
Kyler Murray was flying all over the place, although he wasn't able to connect with Marvin Harrison Jr, so I was surprised by that.
00:08:28.041 --> 00:08:36.294
But I felt that once they got into the second half they were able to to to make up and look pretty good.
00:08:36.294 --> 00:08:38.344
But last game I thought they looked solid.
00:08:38.344 --> 00:08:43.514
I thought their defense looked really good before Tua got knocked out of the game.
00:08:43.514 --> 00:08:44.823
They were solid.
00:08:44.823 --> 00:08:45.506
They were solid.
00:08:45.506 --> 00:08:45.908
They the game.
00:08:45.928 --> 00:08:47.576
They were solid, they were solid, they were solid.
00:08:47.616 --> 00:08:54.427
They were okay and I also love how and I told you this in the offseason that they would be much more balanced this year.
00:08:54.427 --> 00:08:57.870
Not having digs, I think, helps them a lot.
00:08:57.870 --> 00:08:59.346
It's addition by subtraction.
00:08:59.346 --> 00:09:02.850
Josh Allen's able to just spread the ball to whoever's open.
00:09:02.850 --> 00:09:05.710
He's not worried about having to force feed it to somebody.
00:09:05.710 --> 00:09:07.905
So the Bills look a lot.
00:09:07.905 --> 00:09:12.211
The Bills look the best they've looked through this Josh Allen reign.
00:09:12.211 --> 00:09:13.404
I really like how they look.
00:09:13.404 --> 00:09:17.846
So I'm high on the Bills and I picked the Bills to win the AFC East.
00:09:21.764 --> 00:09:24.471
They are not as good as they were when they first got Diggs.
00:09:24.471 --> 00:09:38.631
When they first got Diggs, like those first two years, that was when they were at their best, and then in the final few then it started to dip a little bit, but now I think they might be either equal to what they were last year.
00:09:40.682 --> 00:09:43.350
Man, I think they're at an all-time, all-time great.
00:09:43.350 --> 00:09:44.188
So we disagree on that grade.
00:09:44.188 --> 00:09:45.341
We disagree on that one.
00:09:45.341 --> 00:09:46.424
We disagree on that one.
00:09:46.424 --> 00:09:48.164
But that's good, we're going to see.
00:09:48.164 --> 00:09:50.144
We're going to see as the season unfolds.
00:09:50.144 --> 00:09:57.743
Of course, the playoffs is what matters, because they've made the playoffs every year and they run into that juggernaut of the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:09:57.743 --> 00:10:09.110
The only people to knock the Chiefs out are Brady has done it twice and then Burrow and I believe that's it as far as the Mahomes-led Chiefs.
00:10:09.110 --> 00:10:10.504
So we'll see.
00:10:10.504 --> 00:10:12.986
But I like what I'm seeing with the Bills.
00:10:12.986 --> 00:10:19.548
I am encouraged You're not as high on them, but we'll see what happens when the playoffs circle around.
00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:25.113
Well, let's touch on a few more topics within the Bills and Dolphins.
00:10:25.113 --> 00:10:28.490
And then we've got to go into your injury what's going on with you?
00:10:28.490 --> 00:10:32.630
And we've got to go into the Carolina Panthers what's up with the Panthers?
00:10:32.630 --> 00:10:35.578
We'll go into our week, two picks from there, all right.
00:10:35.578 --> 00:10:47.187
So let's go to Tua Hot topic with Tua, and I'm not going to go so much with the obvious.
00:10:47.248 --> 00:10:53.532
Okay, everyone on talk radio the last few days has been saying you know, should he play, should he not play?
00:10:53.532 --> 00:11:02.464
We all know about the seriousness of head injuries and I'm quite sure that, um, you know, I don't know they may even do a buyout.
00:11:02.464 --> 00:11:04.870
Who knows knows what's going to happen with that.
00:11:04.870 --> 00:11:16.732
But setting setting the injury aside for a minute, because I kind of have a take on that, I I don't feel, injury aside, that Tua was really the best quarterback for that team.
00:11:16.732 --> 00:11:19.164
I think I'm in the minority from that.
00:11:19.164 --> 00:11:23.474
I wasn't all that impressed by what what Tua was doing.
00:11:23.474 --> 00:11:26.890
I feel that things really turned around once Tyreek came.
00:11:26.890 --> 00:11:33.990
And I think Tyreek, I think it's the same thing how Bryce Young looks awful in Carolina.
00:11:33.990 --> 00:11:37.409
I bet you, if you shipped Tyreek to Carolina, he would look amazing.
00:11:37.409 --> 00:11:39.206
And that's exactly what happened.
00:11:39.206 --> 00:11:42.070
That's exactly what happened to Tua in my opinion.
00:11:42.721 --> 00:11:43.445
What's your take on that?
00:11:44.523 --> 00:12:04.368
Yeah, iryce is a good quarterback and he will be a good quarterback, but of course you put tyreek there, I mean, I mean, that's just, that's great too, but uh, tua, uh, yeah, you know too, that's a very interesting situation right there yeah very interesting, uh-huh.
00:12:04.808 --> 00:12:09.866
And the comments are hilarious, so we'll have to acknowledge some of these.
00:12:09.866 --> 00:12:11.931
Y'all keep going at it in the comments.
00:12:11.931 --> 00:12:13.381
I love those summer.
00:12:13.381 --> 00:12:15.267
Thanks for managing the comments back there.
00:12:15.267 --> 00:12:21.730
And then if you have any questions, pop them up and we'll definitely answer those as we go throughout the show.
00:12:21.730 --> 00:12:24.626
So love, love, the participation on that.
00:12:24.626 --> 00:12:30.995
One last topic before we move on to our week two picks and all of that good stuff.
00:12:30.995 --> 00:12:35.350
Coach McDaniels man, what's your take on him?
00:12:35.350 --> 00:12:42.269
So again, he is kind of being coined as a genius, offensive genius came out of San Francisco most recently.
00:12:42.269 --> 00:12:48.009
He's been in the league much longer than that was with the commanders and other programs.
00:12:48.009 --> 00:12:50.047
But what's your take on him?
00:12:50.047 --> 00:12:59.850
Is he the real deal or is he also a product of Tyreek and Wylan and all these weapons that they have in Miami?
00:13:00.821 --> 00:13:03.289
I honestly don't think that he is the real deal.
00:13:03.289 --> 00:13:18.186
I think he's a good guy, nice guy, but I just think he's been made look better a coach than he is because of Tyreek and Waddle.
00:13:18.659 --> 00:13:20.807
They're talking about all these schemes that he runs.
00:13:20.807 --> 00:13:29.990
It's easy to run these schemes when you have two of the fastest receivers in the nfl yeah and the quarterback who can throw it very accurately yeah.
00:13:29.990 --> 00:13:46.335
Even though he's not maybe the best quarterback elite, the one thing you do is throw it accurate he is accurate like he is, so I mean, except when he throws oh, go ahead, I'm sorry, yeah, if you have all that speed, then it's, it's easy to get all those um to make the, to make the coach look good.
00:13:46.876 --> 00:13:50.524
So yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, I, I agree with you, man.
00:13:50.524 --> 00:13:58.341
Um, you know he, I think he's a product of what is there and is as, and you know how it is.
00:13:58.341 --> 00:14:00.804
I mean, we, we build them up to tear them down.
00:14:00.804 --> 00:14:20.370
So, uh, mcdaniels was hot, but I just feel that as they continue to lose these games, the good teams, and as they start to lose some of these star players, the light's going to be shined on him and typically in coaching and really just anything in life.
00:14:20.751 --> 00:14:23.684
A lot of times what gets you hired, gets you fired.
00:14:23.684 --> 00:14:32.863
His demeanor and the way he is with the players and the fact that he's more of a player's coach and kind of laid back and whatnot.
00:14:32.863 --> 00:14:38.729
That's great when you're winning, but then when you're not winning, that's frowned upon.
00:14:38.729 --> 00:14:42.363
I definitely can see at some point.
00:14:42.363 --> 00:14:46.366
It's probably going to take a year or so, but the fingers are going to start to uh to go there.
00:14:46.366 --> 00:14:47.309
So, yeah, it's.
00:14:47.309 --> 00:14:49.788
It's going to be interesting to see how things unfold in Miami.
00:14:49.788 --> 00:14:51.547
I don't see that last thing.
00:14:51.547 --> 00:14:54.782
I don't see them making the playoffs now with uh.
00:14:54.782 --> 00:14:55.542
Two are going out.
00:14:55.542 --> 00:14:56.243
What, what about you?
00:14:57.503 --> 00:14:58.903
Um well, I don't know when.
00:14:58.903 --> 00:15:09.009
So I mean, if Tua makes a quick return, then I think they can still make the playoffs, depending on how quickly he returns.
00:15:09.549 --> 00:15:15.013
Well, I don't think Tua's ever coming back Now.
00:15:15.013 --> 00:15:18.315
I think he's still going to Now, I think with Tua.
00:15:18.315 --> 00:15:20.216
So I'll touch on this a little bit.
00:15:20.216 --> 00:15:23.977
I feel with Tua he just signed a mega deal, right?
00:15:23.977 --> 00:15:29.804
He has $167 million dollars left.
00:15:29.804 --> 00:15:32.530
He's not walking away from 167 million dollars, okay.
00:15:32.530 --> 00:15:37.067
So what tua needs is he needs the dolphins to be the one to let him go so he can get his money.
00:15:37.067 --> 00:15:38.631
You know what I mean.
00:15:38.631 --> 00:15:41.139
So that's what's gonna happen.
00:15:41.139 --> 00:15:43.325
So it's gonna be interesting to see how that plays out.
00:15:43.325 --> 00:15:46.493
Will the Dolphins offer him a buyout?
00:15:46.493 --> 00:15:49.847
You know, I just don't know how that's going to happen.
00:15:49.847 --> 00:15:52.249
So I don't see him playing another down.
00:15:52.249 --> 00:15:59.200
But I also don't see Tua just saying hey, I'm retiring and you can have $167 million and not.
00:15:59.259 --> 00:16:01.327
So you don't expect him to come back this year.
00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:06.010
No, I don't, I don't so him to come back this year no I don't, I don't.
00:16:06.030 --> 00:16:08.794
So just like spit out or like there are, you think they'll cut him, or?
00:16:09.581 --> 00:16:11.461
No, I don't think they're going to cut him.
00:16:11.461 --> 00:16:13.107
They're going to have the doctors look at him.
00:16:13.107 --> 00:16:22.706
They'll go through all that and if the doctors determine that he can't play, I think they'll offer him a buyout, and so that's option one.
