Captain. Buddy, we've been waiting for impact players and man did we get one

dion buchanan championship your thoughts buddy i guess you're not that thrilled about the buchanan

that is what it is you know i mean everybody wanted him and now we got him and he was just released

by todd boles i think he knew Todd Bowles' defense, right?

Yeah. Okay. I'm trying to be optimistic, but, you know, a little hard to get excited. He knows Betcha's system. Oh, right, and more another system guy. Good, good. So another Arizona Cardinal in here. Oh, just what we needed. More Cardinals and Panthers. It doesn't seem to be improving the defense all these ex-Cardinals and Panthers. No, no, the defense, the team, nothing. It improves nothing. But okay, I'm on board. Yeah, yeah, Buchanan's in here. He'll be playing Sunday and we'll see what he has left, you know? Yeah. Let's do what he has left. Oh, he's 27 years old.

Yeah, that's nice, but 27 years old is not big in the NFL. No, no, it's not like you're 21 or 22. Right, so anybody who thinks, well, he's 27. How could you say you have anything left? Because guys average like three years in this league, and you'd be surprised all of a sudden they really can't play at an elite level anymore,

five, six years in a league, you know?

Yeah.

So we'll see what he has

left um starting sunday man could he be any worse i mean for some reason i mean i don't know

could he be any worse we'll see me you know i'm being a wise ass i'm trying not to be too sarcastic

well i'm not really trying but i just i just feel like, you know, you see the moves they make and I don't know, man. Maybe it's because I'm, you know, we're putting out another insider this week. And so many of the articles are just, you know, we're sure. Positive? Oh, man. I've never seen a group of sports writers so negative in my life and I get it, right? Like, you know, the talent, the coaching, the direction of the organization, like, what are we doing? And it's just a depressing Thursday for me. I don't know, man. It is what it is. Even I couldn't scrap a positive audible this week. Even I went negative. No, you did. That was the most negative I've ever seen you. It was awesome. Yeah, I should have titled it Piss and Vinegar, that column. But hey, you're right, though, you know? Like, this is where we are, man. And now we're two and five staring down the barrel of two and six because, look, we're, what are we, seven point underdogs? I don't even know. I'm guessing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Detroit team that's very good. That's going to be pretty mad that they lost to the Vikings at home the way they did. And, you know, Matt Patricia, who so far has had some success. He's one of the Belichick guys who's actually had some success so far. Again, it's year two, but team that's on the rise. And one of the things you just put out, I was surprised by, only 12 sacks for them, right? Yeah, only 12 sacks. Yeah. And he went out and he signed flowers from new england last year and yeah and devon

canard is you know him yeah devon canard is the leader and snacks old snacks is number two so

they're not getting to the quarterback but jerry let's not forget that Arizona only had 14

And I, you know, we said it a couple years ago. Of course, we didn't have a podcast back then.

But Devin Kennard's a guy. I thought they would resign and just kind of play him on the edge of

the three, four. I thought he kind of fit in pretty well uh i i thought
