00:00Yeah, eight or nine wins. Give me two in September. They need to be a competent offense. This I think is a low bar
00:06a competent
00:08Properly so here's here's my line of demarcation if you need one last year
00:12I think it was the bengals were the 16th offense in terms of points per game now that was without burl for half the year
00:17Right 21 browning 21 and a half points a game. Get me get me 21 22 points a game on offense
00:23You're a middling. Well, these are total points. Oh, okay mix it mix in a special team
00:28Special teams maybe in defense maybe mix in a defensive score. I need you averaging 21 22 a game
00:33You need to look competent on offense. I can't do another year
00:37Where you're the worst offense in football?
00:38You can't move it. You can't kick field goals when you finally do move it
00:42Your defense is shutting people down and you're not scoring you're turning it over. You can't line up properly penalty penalty penalty
00:48I can't watch another year like that. You need to be competent. Not great. Not even good. Certainly not elite
00:54Yeah, you need to be competent on offense middle of the pack middle of the road
00:58Give me 21 if you want a specific number 21 and a half points a game
01:02That's my over on so offensive ranks points per game since tom brady left. They were 27th with cam newton not gonna cut it
01:10sixth
01:12With mac jones sign up for that. It's too lofty. That's insane
01:14I mean, they did have a couple games where they score like 50 points the jaguars game late whatever those jets games still sticks
01:21Yep, uh, and then matt patricia, believe it or not 17th
01:25Okay, as bad as it felt that year. They were 17th in points
01:27That's the number right there and then last year with uh, bill o'brien. They were 31st. So they were 31st at offense
01:33I don't like this. I don't like this revisionist history about like oh my god, should they have kept bill o'brien? No hell
01:39No, he ran 55 times the other day in college, right that works in college. Yeah, I don't need bill o'brien
01:47Yeah, like I do not need it works he has a bad florida state bill o'brien's offense stinks
01:52Even though they beat florida state that's proof of it. You ran 55 times. I don't want that in 2024
01:57Although van pelt might run it 35 times
02:00Likes to run the ball too fine, but 17 the patricia year like the middle of the pack offense
02:04You know what? That was awful. I also thought that was too lofty a goal, but maybe it's not I mean if
02:10If mac jones basically spearheaded a top 10 offense one year and then a middle of the pack offense
02:15That was also a year where we saw zappy as well
02:18now that's also a 10 win team and an eight win which
02:22Didn't really feel like it
02:23I know the 10 win team had like the really high highs at one point then the the bottom kind of fell out on them
02:28But then the following year they still somehow scrapped together an eight nine win team
02:33And that's where I do think some of just belichick's coaching i'm with everybody else
02:37I had a lot of problems with his drafting and I don't think he was this huge advantage week in and week out as a
02:43Tactician anymore, but I still think he was better than most like I think if you're like ranking all the head coaches
02:47Just game day coaching
02:49I think he was still uh
02:52Plus like a plus value where I don't know about mayo. We'll see maybe maybe he's not
02:56I have no I definitely don't know about jaron. Mayo. So the other thing on my list get a big pelter, too
03:01I think andrew callahan and the boston herald's been big on this and so who are those?
03:05Cincinnati week one would be a bit that's a signature. They get a lot of options here niners
03:11Yep would be a I don't think it's gonna happen but like a win like that even the texans
03:15I think any division win you could look at as a nice win for them
03:18I like the jets more than you so I think any of those games are good wins
