I think the Colts can win the AFC South, my friend.
I genuinely like right now today I'm pickings.
I'm going big.
I'm picking the Colts.
Colts are winning the division.
I think Jacksonville Jaguars win that division.
I'm, I'm all about the Jaguars this year.
I'm all about Liam Cohen and that first year bump.
Uh, they're, they're my next boomer bust team, I guess, because I look at the Jaguars and say the talent's all there.
Uh, the, the.
Yes, Trevor Lawrence hasn't done it.
I know you're gonna kill me on the Trevor Lawrence thing.
And I, I, I, I, I've agreed with you many times, but Liam Cohen was so good last year.
Like, he was excellent as the Buccaneers offensive coordinator, which does make me a little worried of how high I am on the Buccaneers as well, because they lose Liam Cohen.
But how many times have we seen NFL Coach of the Year follow the same exact template?
First year head coach takes over for a staff that had been kind of going through the motions.
Doug Peterson, I'm talking about you, wasn't getting the most out of its roster.
And then all of a sudden you see this bump up to like 11 wins, you win the division, you're coach of the Year, you're up there at the NFL Awards ceremony.
I see that for Liam Cohen.
The Liam thing is where we disagree.
Like, because Dave Canalis was supposed to be the franchise savior because of what he did with Baker.
Maybe at some point, we got to look around and be like, hey, it's not the coaches, it's Baker Mayfield.
Like Baker Mayfield is like, I'm looking at a Liam Cohen.
It was on Sean McVeigh's staff and they're like, no, no, no, we're good.
You go ahead and go back to Kentucky.
And then he comes back to Sean McVeigh's staff.
We're like, no, no, no, we're good.
You go and go somewhere else.
Like, I, I, I, I'm still waiting for the team that we've seen just trip over themselves and fall over anything to try and keep Liam Cohen.
I, I, I think Liam Cohen has a better chance of being a one and done head coach than he does of being Coach of the Year this year.
I just, I, I, I, I don't believe.
I do not believe.
