00:02 I wanted to give you today, Joe,
00:04 the odds right now, nine weeks in,
00:08 for the defensive player of the year.
00:11 And I kind of brought these up with you quickly
00:13 on the radio last night, 'cause it just boggles my mind
00:16 that Miles Garrett and Micah Parsons are neck and neck,
00:19 and then TJ Watts right there with them.
00:21 And obviously there's a huge gap.
00:22 It's a three-man race, Joe,
00:25 here with half the season to go.
00:26 I mean, Hutchinson, Bosa, they're pretty far out.
00:29 But you know what grinds my gears is,
00:31 I feel it should be Garrett and Watts,
00:35 even at the top.
00:37 And Parsons should be the third-party trailing
00:41 behind those two.
00:42 But as always, Joe, there's a cowboy tax on everything.
00:46 And Micah Parsons still tied for the top
00:49 of the defensive player of the year board.
00:51 - Carver, they anointed Micah Parsons pre-season
00:55 just the way they did Kyle Shanahan.
00:57 - Pre-season.
00:58 - And Derwin James and who else?
01:00 Oh yeah, Brandon Staley a couple of years ago,
01:04 always at the top.
01:05 Kahlil Mack was another one when he first moved on
01:08 in terms of the charges.
01:10 Everybody has their preconceived notions
01:13 about who should be there in the end.
01:15 And then they keep these guys there
01:17 from the start of the year to the end
01:19 without even producing.
01:21 It's absolutely ridiculous.
01:23 - It really does.
01:25 And I just don't see as many impactful plays
01:30 from him as the other two guys.
01:32 I just don't see it.
01:33 - Game changing.
01:34 Game changing in games that matters.
01:37 Right.
01:38 - I just feel Garrett and Watts.
01:40 I mean, I could think of three from each
01:42 off the top of my head this year
01:44 that won Cleveland and Pittsburgh football games.
01:47 I don't have that with Micah Parsons.
01:50 All right, fine.
01:51 He tore up Zach Wilson in the fourth quarter of the jet game.
01:54 Where was he Sunday against the Eagles?
01:57 Where was he, Joe?
01:59 Was he out there?
02:00 It's just tough sometimes with him.
02:02 It really is.
