00:02 >> I think one of the biggest mysteries going into the beginning of the NFL
00:06 season, Warren, I don't know how you feel about this.
00:09 But naturally, when you have the same system in place with the same quarterback
00:13 for almost two decades in Aaron Rodgers, and he leaves and
00:17 then a new quarterback takes over.
00:19 I mean, we wanna know what is this gonna look like going into the season?
00:23 I know that you have taken a deeper dive into the Packers, and
00:26 there are some skill position players too that we should be keeping an eye on.
00:30 >> Yeah, very different situation here when we just talked about the pressure
00:34 allowed and the pass rush and the ability for
00:37 an offensive line to keep his quarterback clean.
00:40 From Deshaun Watson, who is pressured at among the highest rates of any regular
00:44 starter during the preseason.
00:45 Jordan Love was pressured at among the lowest rate.
00:48 And this offensive line was keeping him very clean, very protected.
00:52 Now, one caveat, if you just look at the box score, if you're a box score guy and
00:57 you just look back at what Jordan Love looked like in this most recent game that
01:00 he played, just keep in mind, they were operating in the first half in the wind,
01:05 and it was raining a little bit there.
01:07 So that is not going to give you necessarily the best litmus test of what
01:12 this kid is going to be able to do.
01:14 I think he played better in his prior games.
01:17 He also had one deep pass to an open Christian Watson down the left sideline
01:21 that probably is a touchdown, but I think the wind held it up a little bit.
01:25 And so it was underthrown and broken up by the defense and
01:27 Watson had to hold up.
01:29 I think he's looking really strong in the preseason.
01:32 If you talk to some guys who watched him play against the Patriots in some of
01:37 their work together, like Watson is playing, sorry,
01:41 Jordan Love is playing extremely well this preseason.
01:44 And I'm expecting big things.
01:46 They come out the gates starting against the Chicago Bears.
01:49 And what's going to be really interesting, right now,
01:52 we know that the Chicago Bears were getting a lot of action in the early
01:56 offseason as like the darling, the team that's going to take that leap up and
02:01 move ahead of the Green Bay Packers.
02:02 Green Bay was the fourth team in the NFC North.
02:05 Chicago moved up to the third team in the NFC North.
02:09 Green Bay had the longest odds.
02:10 Green Bay's an underdog this first week of the season.
02:14 The Chicago Bears were owned by Aaron Rodgers, right?
02:18 Like all the discussion about he owns us, he owns us.
02:21 And now they came out and said, we're gonna take that back.
02:24 Well, it's gonna be interesting to see.
02:26 They got their opportunity week one, but that Bears defense, Craig, is not great.
02:30 And I think Jordan Love, if he's kept clean, he's running the ball a lot.
02:35 And we know one of the most efficient plays in football is a designed pass where
02:39 the quarterback just keeps, holds on to the ball, tucks it, and runs.
02:43 That play gains about seven half to eight and half yards per play.
02:47 Very efficient.
02:48 And I think we're gonna see a lot of Jordan Love.
02:50 Everybody's talking about Justin Fields running the football.
02:53 Jordan Love might have a lot of yards on the ground in this first week of
02:56 the season.
02:56 I'm looking forward to when the odds makers post lines on that.
