Right back to the phones, I have a giveaway for you here in a few minutes as well.

Kyle and Wallfam, what do you got on the pads?

Great Mike.

I just want to talk about the defensive line, and then I will talk about the Game versus Houston.

So on the D-line, I think it's very underrated with Malcolm Brown and Branch in the middle,

and Coney-Ewey, and then Diedrich Wise and Trey Flowers off the edge.

It's really going to be a disruptive front.

Why are we putting D.D.D.I.R. Wise on that list right now. Kyle. Why are you putting D.D.R.

because Greg wrote a nice story about him, like the second day of camp? I mean, I watched the first two games. I know we left the first game with the concussion. But he played in the FTC. Okay, I mean, to me, I think you are taking a leap, Kyle, and saying Dietrich Wise is in that mix.

Yeah, well, him and Ely and Branch and Brown and Brown are proven. Flowers, obviously, with his Super Bowl performance. But now in the game, Bruce Houston, first, I'm not a big Burkhead fan. I know he had a couple carries through the tackles that were tough. You only had 20 yards on seven carries.

He's not big enough back for me.

All right. So you're not going to get fantasy points, but Burkhead's going to be awesome for this team. It's just obvious. Yeah, and he's the one guy because, you know, Gillesley can do it a little bit, but I think there was a concertive effort in this offseason after seeing what Blunt did last year,

that they wanted backs that could do a little bit more of both things. Like, because I think it was too easy. You mean run and catch? Yes, because I think it was too easy in the past. They're like, well, Blunt's in the game. They're not throwing to him. So we just need to worry about the run and whatever. And then White or Lewis would come in.

They'd be like, okay, well, we got pass. Now you put, let's just deal with Burkhead right now because Gillisley hasn't been out there. But you put Burkhead in there. There's a two-way choice that you have to, you know, he can do either, you know, a lot better than some of the other guys on the team. Burkhead's going to be that perfect guy that if you're on another team, you just look at you hate.

Yep.

You hate the team. Burkhead's going to be that perfect guy that if you're on another team, you just look at you hate. Yep. You hate the player. You hate that the Patriots have them. You hate that this little piece. He's like a bigger Danny Woodhead. This little crap is running all over you, you know, and you're going to say to yourself, only the effing Patriots. Like, if that guy was on my team, he'd do nothing.

It's been that way for a decade, Mike.

I don't know, but this is just the latest, and this is going to be glaring. It's going to be like Woodhead because he's going to have the ball in his hands. So you're going to see this guy running all over. You're catching the balls all over. you're not going to be able to cover them and like Cincinnati's a fan of Cincinnati's going to say this guy was was on our team. No, that's the thing. Just about every Bengals fan you talk to or anybody, any neutral observer, said that last year he should have been playing more. But they kept putting out Giovanni Bernard, who kept getting like 50 yards a game. But Marvin Lewis would not put Burk had out there. The Patriots saw that and they're like, well, we'll take him, and he's going to be great here.

Different position, but could the tight end James O'Shaughnessy be one of those guys too? As what? In terms of someone, you know, the chiefs look at him and be like, oh, man, we didn't use him correctly. I don't know. I mean, we'll see. he definitely has an ability to

you know be a little bit of a mismatch in the red zone if he makes his team because

that might be a little bit of a mismatch in the red zone if he makes this team,

because that might be a position where they just say we go with two because we're going to have eight running backs or whatever.
