00:00teams that surprised the most last year, a surprising playoff
00:02appearance, maybe not a surprising playoff victory. I
00:05think a lot of people liked them against the Eagles. I didn't,
00:08but like, that's fine. Like they were surprised he and Baker
00:09Mayfield almost one comeback player of the year. They're
00:12interesting. Their win total is basically like seven and a half,
00:15but juiced to the moon over. So essentially, like you, I'd be
00:18shopping for eights. I like the under on them. This is a bet
00:21that I like on a lot this year. Because again, if I take, there's
00:25a lot of ways to approach this, but we'll just continue the
00:27exercise because it's fun. And it's easy. You take the three
00:29criteria. Okay. Like, can you pull up the threads of the three
00:32criteria with Tampa to think maybe they're going to have a
00:35worse season than they had the previous year. So first of all,
00:38they were bottom half of the league in all of these three
00:39areas and kind of won nine games despite that. So already you're
00:43like kind of off to a rocky start here where they're not
00:45good at any of the things then passing attack. Okay. Could I
00:49pull up the thread of that? Uh, yeah, Dave can Alice isn't there
00:51anymore. That's how I do that. I just pulled that and Mike Evans
00:54at some point, you would think maybe the performance dips a
00:57little bit again in year 12, year 13, whatever it is like
01:00canalysis, a much easier case to make, but just worth noting,
01:03it's a lot of pressure on aging players. Offensive line worse is
01:08awesome. But the rest of the group isn't great. They drafted
01:11a center, he probably needs to be pretty good in order for this
01:14to hold up. Their offensive line ratings last year weren't
01:16particularly good. Edge Shaq Barrett off that like doesn't
01:20play for them anymore. It just it's really interesting. And he
01:23was by far their highest rated edge last year. Now they have
01:25young players who can like grow into roles and they drafted
01:28well. And so there's upside. It's not like that's just dead.
01:32But if I had to pick like, is there a team with a mid win
01:36total that I think could be like bottom 10 in all three things
01:39next year? They're like a really good answer to that question
01:43that they could be bottom 10 and all those three things pretty
01:45easily. And the win total is essentially eight. And they're
01:48only like a minus high one price to miss the playoffs. It does it
01:53strikes me as very interesting. They're interesting to me. And
01:56I think I'd rather bet on Todd Bowles to go back to being bad
01:58again than what happened last year.
02:00And I think just like an on field conceptualization of that
02:03and I just want to focus on Tampa pass rush and Ken saying
02:05you know, Shaq Barrett's not there anymore. Like the pass
02:08rushers on paper you will look at and will not inspire a ton of
02:10confidence and maybe they can be good. But let's just say that
02:13they're not right. We know what Todd Bowles is going to do to
02:15try and get at the opposing quarterback. He's gonna blitz a
02:17million guys like that's kind of like what Todd Bowles does. And
02:20if you can't get home, you are going to get absolutely wrecked
02:24like your defense is going to get annihilated if that's the
02:27case.
