Welcome to the Athletic Football Show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Today is Thursday, September 2nd.

I'm very excited to be previewing the NFC South today as we continue our division previews. And to help me do that,

my good friend ESPN's Mina Kimes, how you doing? I'm good. The NFC South. Anyone can win,

except not really. That's kind of the vibe we had as we were talking about this. The TLDR version of it would just be the Bucks are going to win and we don't really have to talk about the rest of it, which seems correct. But I do think there's a lot to dig into with some of these other teams. I don't know how good they'll be, but I do know there's a lot to chew on with pretty much every other team in this division. Yeah, there's definitely things I want to watch. You have me like write down X factors and players. And the process of doing that, you know, it's a reminder. Oh, right, there's really exciting units and players on all of these teams, even if the bucks are like a near flawless football team with zero holes.

So let's start with the Bucks and let's get into that.

Let's get into it.

This is the best team in the NFL that brought back every relevant piece from its championship

roster and you can make a real argument that they are better now than they even were

at the end of last season.

I can't remember a scenario like

this. Every single team that wins a Super Bowl typically has to make some sort of concession

because the cap comes for them, because guys are hitting free agency. They have to do something

where they sacrifice an area of the roster because it's just necessary.

And the Bucson didn't have to do that.

When you look at top to bottom, it's just absolutely ridiculous.

I cannot remember a situation like this.

I can't either.

And I think, you know, this summer was like the summer of quarterback discontent, right,

with Rogers and Wilson.
