Summary

Simms & Paul Burmeister discuss the shocking Andrew Luck retirement, break down some film on QB play from Preseason Week 3, and rip through the AFC win totals. (2:35) Why it really sucks that Luck retired, and why we like him even more now (13:20) The biggest thing the Colts will miss, and it's not what you think it is (18:10) Jimmy G film: the performance was much improved, but something with the mechanics is still really messed up (22:10) Kyler Murray film: a lot better than last week, but he's in an offense that's so vanilla, it's translucent (26:40) Kirk Cousins film: it wasn't pretty, and why their passing offense could struggle (29:20) Baker Mayfield film: might've been one of his worst performances, but why there's no reason to worry (32:10) The Legend of Swamp Ass is real (33:50) Jameis Winston film: not good, but why it wasn't his fault (36:05) Big Ben film: look out for the Steelers (37:10) Matthew Stafford film: he looked tight, and his play-caller has hopefully self-scouted thyself (40:00) Nick Foles film: why the Jags are salivating (41:35) Film speed round: who jumped out, who did Simms expect more from, and the team that was sneaky dominant (46:32) AFC East Over/Unders: the guys are at odds over a potential Wild Card candidate (50:10) AFC North Over/Unders: this division includes the best bet on the board (53:55) AFC South Over/Unders: a playoff team from last year is in big trouble, and it might not be who you think (57:20) AFC West Over/Unders: why the Chiefs won't match last year's output

Yeah, I'm a good player.

0:08.7

Yeah, I didn't see that, but I haven't really followed them.

0:12.6

So we all have to make our decisions.

0:17.2

He made his.

0:17.8

I respect it.

0:19.7

Oh, there you have it. You can rest easy. Bill Belichick said it's okay for Andrew

0:24.8

luck to retire. He respects it. We can move on with life. Well, you know the controversy around

0:29.1

that, do you? Do you not even know this yet? He said he did not see that, okay?

0:33.9

And then he said he did not see that. And then New England sent out a press release last night and added the word coming to the end of his. He did not see that coming in parentheses, right? Which was total bullshit because he could see the freaking video, okay? And he doesn't say that. All right. Now, I mean, do you really think Bill Belichick didn't realize Andrew Luck didn't retire? If there's one person out there who would know, I mean, guys like you who've been in the building say that he doesn't know anything else.

0:59.1

Yes.

0:59.3

The outside world doesn't come in.

1:00.8

No, I know.

But you're supposed to meet like some Sunday that was Mother's Day and everybody had to tell him.

1:04.6

Yes.

1:05.1

It's not okay.

1:05.7

Yeah, we're like, hey, yes. He's totally oblivious to things like that. But I have a hard time believing he was oblivious to Andrew Luck retiring. Probably true. Right? All right. So, and then I want to ask you, why do you think he would not want to act like, why, I'm putting you on the spot here? By the way, this is Paul Burmeister under the microscope. And I'm Chris Sims, and this is unbuttoned. Okay, why do you think he did it?

1:28.9

This is just a theory I threw out this morning, but why do you think he's acting like he didn't even see? Andrew Luck, one of the best quarterbacks in football, a playoff team in his conference last year. Why do you think he won't want to give it its credence? What do you think that goes back to it? You think it's Jacoby Brissette related?

1:42.8

Oh, no, but that's a good one.

1:44.0

I never really thought of that.

1:45.0

That's a good one.

1:45.6

Nice talk.

1:46.1

Come on.
