00:00All right, gentlemen.
00:01Oh, this is the Rico makes up the rules power rank.
00:04No, no, no, no, no.
00:05Oh, that comes later.
00:06Oh, goody.
00:08We're at the quarter turn of the NFL season.
00:12So I got a few items, but today we're going to do the stock exchange.
00:18Would you buy or sell this person, coach, or team if they were a commodity
00:25coming off of the quarter turn?
00:26Okay, I like it.
00:27I can do this.
00:28Let's start off with a team that everybody said was going to be the end
00:34all be all Super Bowl champions.
00:36Let's start off with the Los Angeles Rams.
00:39I'll buy.
00:40I like their performance.
00:42Sean McVay lit their ass on fire on the sidelines.
00:45They were kind of sleepwalking.
00:46They were staring one and three down the barrel of a gun and they rallied.
00:51They got to get healthy.
00:52They got to get a couple of their best players back, but I'll buy.
00:55I still think they're too talented to just be bad.
00:58Yeah, I'll buy.
00:59It's like Mike said.
01:00They're just too good.
01:02McVay's a great coach.
01:04They'll figure it out.
01:05I'm also going to buy.
01:07They'll return Aaron Donald and Miles Garrett at some point.
01:10They'll be a better team.
01:11So, yes, I'm buying.
01:12Okay.
01:13Quarterback Drake May.
01:17Oh, boy.
01:19So, your practice squad player saved your ass, but they did go to Buffalo and win.
01:23I do like the kid.
01:25A.J. Brown will come back.
01:26Look, I can't sell Drake May.
01:30I got to believe Drake May will be all right, but can they get some receivers, please?
01:34Good heavens.
01:36I'll buy.
01:38It's a buy low point.
01:39It's got to be a cheap stock.
01:40Let me buy it.
01:41Any stock.
01:42Yeah, this is aerotime dynamic.
01:46I'm going to sell.
01:48That was great.
01:49It was a nice game against Buffalo.
01:51To me, the Bills kind of just slapped through that game for some reason, so I'm selling.
01:57I'm going to also sell, yeah.
02:00I just can't with them.
02:01I don't trust Drake May.
02:02I just don't like it this year, so I'm going to sell.
02:06Okay.
02:07Jordan Love.
02:08Jordan Love.
02:09Sell.
02:10I'm selling anything Packers.
02:12The whole thing's falling apart.
02:13The injuries, the performance.
02:15I'm selling because at a certain point, a quarterback needs some help, and everything's falling apart there,
02:21including the O-line play, the running game, the defense.
02:23I'm selling all things cheese.
02:26Can I sell him but rent him temporarily when he plays the Lions twice?
02:30This isn't the English Premier League.
02:32We don't do player leasing.
02:35You know what, Paul?
02:36Because you asked nicely, sure.
02:38Why not?
02:39I will sell him until he plays the Lions, and then I will rent him those two times.
02:43Okay.
02:44I'm going to sell him because they had to bring in three offensive linemen off the street last week.
02:51Somebody else gets hurt.
02:52I don't know what else that line looks like, so I'm going to sell.
02:55All right.
02:56Kenneth Walker III.
02:58Buy.
02:59Just buy it all.
03:00He's just, he's the element the Chiefs have not had for years.
03:05Now, I do think the Chiefs need a wide receiver.
03:07I'd really like to see them be active.
03:09Hell, I wouldn't mind Tyreek Hill going back there.
03:12Just something.
03:12But man alive.
03:13I mean, K-9 is just, he's the straw that stirs the drink.
03:18He did it again last week.
03:20That team desperately needed a big play.
03:22They weren't going to go on some 13-play drive.
03:24Boom.
03:2560-yard touchdown run.
03:26I'll buy.
03:27Yeah, it's very easy to buy.
03:30How did it take the Seahawks until the playoffs to figure out, if we just give this guy the ball,
03:35our team's pretty good.
03:37They've got to split carries with Charbonnet and all these other backs that aren't nearly as good as Kenneth Walker.
03:41Charbonnet was pretty good, Paul, at the time before he got injured.
03:45He's not Kenneth Walker, though.
03:47He's right.
03:48I'm going to sell.
03:50And this is based on the injuries and the production that they have at wide receiver.
03:55I think the defense is going to shift knowing that they only have him to stop.
04:00Okay.
04:02The Houston Texans.
04:05I know what people are going to say.
04:07D'Amico's always terrible in September, and then they turn it on.
04:11This defense has been one of my biggest disappointments.
04:14Outside of the Chargers.
04:15The Texans' defense has been so disappointing.
04:19I mean, you're talking about a team supposed to be the number one defense in football, and they can't close
04:24a game out.
04:26I've got to sell, man.
04:27I just can't do it anymore.
04:29I want to like them.
04:31I love D'Amico.
04:31I love a lot of their players.
04:34I've got to sell.
04:35It's God almighty.
04:37That was gross.
04:38You let CeeDee Lamb catch 17 passes?
04:42I'm also going to sell.
04:44Well, I think we might have witnessed in the playoff game against New England, a quarterback breaking his defense.
04:50I don't know if they recover from that because that should be a top five unit just rolling onto the
04:54field.
04:54The fact that they're this bad, I think that they were broken in that playoff game.
05:00Their spirit as a defense was broken.
05:02And, Paul, you're right.
05:03It's like, I don't know what's happened.
05:04Guys are running freely in the secondary.
05:08It makes no sense to me.
05:10I wonder, though, they had the Super Bowl in their hands.
05:13They tripped to the Super Bowl in their hands in that postseason, and it was thrown away by their quarterback.
05:18Did they just check out?
05:21Yeah, I'm going to also sell.
05:23I hope D'Amico Ryans can find a good realtor in Tennessee or San Francisco.
05:28If they fire D'Amico, they're out of their minds.
05:31No way.
05:32I think it's probably going to happen.
05:33I don't want it to.
05:34Why do you got to do him like that?
05:35I don't want it to, but it just doesn't look right.
05:37He's always got a job back in the back.
05:39I'll tell you one thing.
05:40If they fire him, the first call should be from Dan Campbell to come here and be to D.C.
05:45Yes, it should.
05:46D'Amico's proven.
05:47That resume's legit.
05:48Mike's breaking another chair.
05:51I'm just saying, if he ends up being the D.C. someplace else.
05:54Oh, man.
05:54I love D'Amico Ryans.
05:55He goes back to the Bay, and I could just see you breaking another chair.
06:00All right.
06:01Let's go with, David, this one's for you, Brock Purdy.
06:06Yeah.
06:07I'll buy him for sure.
06:09They look really good in San Francisco.
06:11He's an MVP candidate.
06:12Oh, yeah.
06:13It's a buy.
06:14He's the MVP.
06:15He's playing incredible football.
06:16The injuries don't matter.
06:18Nothing matters.
06:19Purdy's eternal.
06:20I'll buy.
06:22I'll buy, too.
06:23You're the rat.
06:24I'll buy, too.
06:25He's a rat driving a combine, and I'm buying.
06:29I'm sorry, Paul.
06:30What did you say?
06:30Well, no.
06:31You got to buy.
06:31He's playing great.
06:32He lit the Dolphins on fire.
06:34Everyone is, except for Kyler for some reason, but I'll buy.
06:37He just processes so well.
06:40It's infuriating.
06:41It's like the Chinese New Year, the year of the rat.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Except the rat's driving a combine.
06:47Right.
06:47Or one of those pesticide sprayers.
06:50And Rico will get to watch his team lose in another Super Bowl.
06:53It'll be great.
06:53Sure.
06:54Ooh.
06:56At least they didn't make it.
06:57That's because you tried to put Underwood at Miami.
06:59That's why Paul Serra is now lashing out at you.
07:03Okay.
07:03You know what?
07:04I'm going to add.
07:05They might.
07:05No.
07:06Never mind.
07:06Nobody's buying that.
07:08Michael Penix Jr.
07:10Bye.
07:11I'd just like to buy Atlanta based on what the South looks like and with competent quarterback
07:17play.
07:17I'm not trying to turn Penix into anything.
07:19Just competent.
07:21Look at what Atlanta is.
07:23They went in last night on the road at the 20-year anniversary of the Katrina return game
07:28and dropped a bomb on the Saints.
07:31And that's after doing what they did to the Packers on the road.
07:37Competent quarterback play is unlocking a running game.
07:40Weird.
07:41It's almost like they had a plan to have a legit backup to be John Robinson.
07:45Brian Robinson looks great, too.
07:47I'm buying.
07:48Because Atlanta right now is the inside track.
07:50The Saints stink.
07:52Bitterly disappointed in them.
07:53The Bucs are dead.
07:55And you end up with Carolina?
07:57Give me Atlanta.
07:59Yeah, I'm also buying Atlanta.
08:00What they've done since Penix and Penix himself, what they've done since he's come back, it's
08:06like it's the Trump drop.
08:07It's like he threw a ball you could catch.
08:10He's the quarterback on their roster that could actively throw passes down the field to his
08:14receivers, and he's not oversailing it, or he's Tua with a dead arm basically due to
08:18injuries and can't really throw the ball anymore.
08:21He's stabilized their offense and allowed their defense and their running game to flourish.
08:25Yeah, that's the other thing, too, Paul, and I'm glad you mentioned it.
08:29AJ Terrell's on IR.
08:30I mean, they're down an all-pro level corner right now.
08:32Now they're down a couple of guys up front.
08:34They're playing pretty high-level ball, and they're active up front.
08:39They don't have a lot of superstars, but they're active.
08:43Yes.
08:44I just, someone's got to win it.
08:50Yeah, I'm buying.
08:51They look really good with him.
08:53Guys, Isaac Tesla.
08:56Sell.
08:58It's just, you know, one or two catches a game doesn't do nothing for me.
09:02Oh, he caught a YOLO ball at the end of the half.
09:04I don't care.
09:05Sell.
09:06Yeah, I'm also going to sell.
09:07Catching a couple passes when you're trailing double digits, and they're just heaving the
09:11ball down the field to try to eat up time and do something.
09:14That's, like, you need to actively be a main part of the offense for me to start buying.
09:20I'm selling.
09:21Things change when they finally have tape on you, and they have it on him after year one,
09:27and they are bracketing him, and they are knowing how to stop him and how to cover him.
09:31He doesn't know how to counter.
09:33Sell.
09:34Okay.
09:35The Cleveland Browns.
09:40I'm going to sell.
09:42I just can't live in a world where Deshaun Watson's good again.
09:45In the second half of the game against the Steelers, he fell apart and became Deshaun Watson.
09:50I'm happy for Todd Monken, and, man, Browns fans deserve it, just like Lyon fans do.
09:55I got to sell.
09:56I just don't think it'll continue.
09:59I'm also going to sell.
10:00I'm with Mike.
10:01It's just what they're doing doesn't make sense because, I mean, Monken's done a great
10:05job.
10:06He could win coach of the year because they love to give the Browns coach who does marginally
10:09well the coach of the year award.
10:11It's like a pity prize.
10:14So, I'm happy for Todd Monken and what he's been able to do, but he's hit so many warts
10:20for Deshaun Watson that eventually you can't keep hiding those.
10:23They get exposed.
10:24Yeah, it looks like they have drafted a star, though.
10:26Denzel Boston's been tremendous.
10:28Yeah, I'm definitely going to sell because this is just the first quarter of the year.
10:32Let's see what he does the second quarter.
10:34But right now, I need to see more, so no, I'm selling.
10:38All right.
10:38The combo meal, you could either buy one, none, or both.
10:44Okay.
10:45The Harbaugh brothers.
10:47Sell.
10:49Chargers are a debacle, and there's no way the Giants are going to continue winning.
10:53They're just playing some bad teams and surviving.
10:55And look, we're down our starting QB.
10:57We're down our best defensive player.
11:00I can't sit here and act like the Giants are going to continue.
11:05Chargers is just a mystery and a riddle and a haiku.
11:09I can't believe what I'm watching.
11:12I can't believe how bad they are.
11:15Justin Herbert, for sure commercials.
11:18I'm going to sell both.
11:21Maybe Justin Herbert isn't that good.
11:25Don't say that around Rico.
11:26That's his man.
11:28I'm going to sell Jim, and I'm going to buy John.
11:32Because the way that division is looking in the East, they have a shot.
11:37All right.
11:37If they can go to D.C. and beat the Commanders, I would be on your side.
11:42I think this is the week the floor falls out.
11:44The Commanders, I'm telling you, they don't look the great.
11:46You realize at some point we're going to be looking at nine.
11:49Yeah, at some point.
11:49And at that point, you don't win any games.
11:51At some point, but right now, first quarter, I'm buying them.
11:54All right.
11:54All right.
11:56He's twice as good now, though.
11:57He's wearing 18.
11:58You're right.
11:58I'm wrong.
11:59He is twice as good.
12:00That's it, David.
12:01Okay.
12:03That's your first quarter stock, 97-1.
12:06That's your first quarter stock, 97-1.
12:07That's your first quarter stock, 97-1.
