00:00Remember, Scott, we talked about the Falcon Dolphin game.
00:06They got Mike White.
00:07They got Skyler Thompson.
00:08I get it.
00:09But Miami's not really like they haven't drafted great over the years.
00:12Miami, this is what you got to look at in the preseason, not just a quarterback rotation,
00:15but as a team, is it a deep team?
00:17Is it a veteran team?
00:19And you look at the Dolphins, guys, they're a free agent team.
00:22They're a mercenary team.
00:23They're all, you know, I mean, Tyreek Hills and they, they just spend money and they bring
00:28in like these high-profile players, the Jalen Ramsey's of the world.
00:31Yeah, they're not built like for the preseason.
00:33They're not a deep, oh yeah, these guys draft well, and man, even their six-round backup
00:37linebackers are badass.
00:39They're kind of thin.
00:40And you look at the Falcons, they really do have a very good QB situation tonight going
00:45on.
00:46Michael Pettis is a stud.
00:47He makes his debut.
00:48Nate Rourke was the most valuable player, guys, of the CFL.
00:51He's battling with Heineken for the third string job, but it's a legitimate competition.
00:56They want Rourke to win the job.
00:57So they don't have to pay Heineken four mil to be the third string quarterback.
01:01So Rourke, if you guys remember, this is hardcore, but last year in the preseason, he was on
01:05the Jags and he played great in the fourth quarter for them against the Dallas Cowboys.
01:10So I think Rourke is ready to go here tonight.
01:13Heineken is trying to keep his job and keep his contract and not have to worry about bouncing
01:17around the league right now.
01:18So you got a new coaching staff, a new culture here in Atlanta.
01:22I like Atlanta on the money line.
01:23I'm not going to lie.
01:24I think the people that take it earlier in the week was a little lighter, but it's two
01:26and a half.
01:27Mine is 155 now.
01:28Give me the dirty bird on the money line, Scott.
01:30Your Pittsburgh Steelers tonight, Mike Tomlin, Harbaugh in the division, John Harbaugh is
01:36like the best preseason coach ever, right?
01:39We know he had like the 25-game win streak or whatever the hell it was, and that bubble
01:43has been burst, but Tomlin's not far behind, Scott.
01:47Tomlin's like right at the top of the list as far as veteran coaches in the preseason.
01:51He's 40-24 outright, Scott.
01:54That's not by accident.
01:56You don't go 40-24 and be like, oh, just by chance I've won that many preseason games.
02:03The Steelers have a competitive culture.
02:05Tomlin wants to see the players compete.
02:06I don't think he cares about winning and losing, but he wants to see them compete.
02:10I don't think the Texans care either.
02:12Teams that play in that Hall of Fame game don't like this next game either.
02:16They like the game after.
02:18It's a bad spot that these teams are in.
02:20That's why no one likes playing in a Hall of Fame game.
02:22I don't really get why the Texans are two-and-a-half-point favorites here.
02:25Give it to Pittsburgh Steelers.
02:27And finally, in closing, normally I would be on the Ravens, Scott, but the reason the
02:31Ravens won all the time is because they had great backup quarterbacks.
02:34They had Huntley.
02:35They had the Huntleys of the world.
02:37They don't have either anymore, bro.
02:39I think Philadelphia's actually to play with your boy Kenny Pickett tonight.
