Do you ever wonder about dreams or déjà vu that feeling on a first date yeah yeah the spark is real maybe about where the aliens are, if they exist even if this could be infinite.

So where is everybody, my name is Mike Simpson my podcast is called. I've got questions out of some animals change color. What's the best cure for the hiccups, do you wash your denim.

I usually wait for the six months kind of feels like a long time search for. I've got questions on the Odyssey Or wherever you get your podcasts new episodes on Thursdays. We continue to help show coast-to-coast on CBS sports radio another week of football is here. I can't believe already in week five. Folks go out to the gas line right now and welcoming a legendary play-by-play man NFL on CBS. You can also listen to them Monday night on Westwood One and that is the great Kevin Harlan Cavanaugh is my dear boy thanks the time that you been great to be out with you doing well your work week already and moving right along for and let's be real. The season finally got underway on Monday Night Football because we had our first Kevin Harlan call of the streaker this year and I saw that the guy that was running on the field that got laid out by Bobby Wagoner is now somehow filing a police report against Bobby Wagoner. Does that make sense well. I mentioned to the player, maybe not even a mention in writing and it's part of their deal with are not interactive anyone would run out on the field.

He did and become a curious case actually seen a number one now these players know these guys don't have a weapon.

These people don't have a weapon. The player and you know the guy was running for the bench which you know kind of force me to make the call because you like the bench know a lot of time. We've been back like in the last couple days for whatever started on people jumping out of the stands in Europe and around the world soccer matches and going up to a player that they admire on the field and giving that player and the player is probably look at this person running in thinking, oh you know what's going on with them and they returned the embrace and they've all ended well in the back of the minds. I'm sure security people is something that may not end well and that there's gotta be first and foremost in the mind of NFL security and it is shocking. These guys really get out there with the people they got on the ring of the stadium right by the light by the stand that but yet another one came through in this life. The smoke bomb you know the pink smoke bomb that was going off, and then he was wearing right now is depicted that one more step in and try to get some money out of it I guess. Activism and informative.

The injuries that incurred anyway yeah if it's true that this happened but it has in the openness of the last event like this will free this year is easier when a black cat and is the field level structure pretty harmless really.

But when you got people that are gluing themselves to the basketball as a result.

And no going out just doing some really bizarre things to represent their cause. You seem to think okay.

Is there a better way. You could get your message across the doing some like this so I guess we will be on guard for anything that could happen here with DOS. We see a lot of sloppy football through the first four weeks.

Let me start you off with the team that were talking about that you got to see all Monday Night Football the LA Rand Stafford doesn't look great is offense a line looks to have a whole lot of problems as you read on the Rams will you know with the bad elbow tendinitis, yet a procedure on the arm and shoulder on the elbow. This past off-season. I'm not sure it stands as numbers or big turnover prone and that is not change this year there's a lot of internal gigantic pick six the other night and centered on Santa Clara against the 49ers so that the be an issue.

Probably more at the heart of it is the offense of line only got one guy left on the line from last year's Super Bowl starting five and they that the mix-and-match players on their couple out for the season. The myriad of issues on that line. Injuries met that is been a significant problem they're trying to get the running backs up to speed. You know they were both kind of injured in camp.

Soft tissue injuries and and Akers and Henderson both and we know that a good rest a lot last year with an injury that he had encamped was Achilles so that next best friend is a running game. And right now the RAM just don't have that goes back to the wind is not much room Jerome because the line is not opening up much inside and then defensively, I still think they're trying to figure out without bond Miller how they operate other veterans with the backend and the secondary.

So all that is just how does the team respond to being a defending champion when you're the biggest game on everybody's schedule. The following year. How do you handle that and then add to that that there are now, that was seven straight regular-season games to the 49ers just was not there.

Number so it was a lot of things you can't get them and they show that not all that well on Monday night, bounce back here this weekend. I believe they think a team from Dallas.

If I'm not mistaken, you're right on that. What were wait to see if that is going to be there, I'm guessing there's no going to go with Cooper rush but I know that that the that Prescott is getting close to return with the Kabul roster this week that suggest Jerry Jones and what is 9000 interviews that he does.

Kevin Harlan read on the Rams.

The team they go up against the 49ers.

That team is an even bigger enigma last week. They look like they said offense of football back 2000 years up against the Broncos and then bounced back against the Rams. I can't get a feel in San Francisco this year will in the Broncos number is not quite there goes that may be the equal of the 49ers over two great teams defensively. Insert 11 a 10 game I can kind of understand. Also in the game Diablo came in and said afterwards that you got on fatigue.

Remember, even not have any off-season because it's so shoulder surgery. He had no training. It was all based on freelance and then he was thrown in there, so he's really kinda going through preseason like computer conditioning right now which is weird to think you know more than a month into the year, but that's kind of where he is and that I thought looked look pretty good listeners record is the starting quarterback is is incredible. It's it's really really good and especially against the Rams.

He'd never lost a fictional against the Rams himself. So I think offense leader only going to get better. There loaded dated offense of issues to his wind injuries and this token working the way through you like that Williams left tackle event now from month to month with an injury attorney at the mix-and-match and Patrick offense of line and on defense without you started yet they look dynamite against the Rams the other night that defense is great at Lucent San Francisco is one of those teams to really keep an eye on everybody in the division is doing to be a lot different.

A month from now symptoms. My prediction is San Francisco is only going to get better without Elijah Mitchell putting Jeff Wilson is a running back, but Wilson has been fine and and and Carol just came back last Monday is going to get back from injury and second end of the season as well. So you breathing space to the minors. I really like that team. They are every bit by contending team in the NFC while you think attending first Super Bowl even contending to get to where they were last year. I definitely put off and laughter they may be in the championship and let the Rams in the fourth quarter and the LA beat them twice in the regular season and had every reason to believe that they could've beaten up and then Ellie got out of the game and as Japanese done and they pulled one out but but San Francisco I think is a terrific team on the quarterback fingers a little bit weird because of how it's been structured about her own doing, by the minors own doing.

When you get settled and I am sitting in a combat, probably until November. I'm a little even play the rest of the year.

The Napa problem because you know I do grapple fielded a lot. The previous plan for another contract may be for another team plan is not played a lot of football is been injured more than is good on the field that the problem so so lucky that grapple in the corner to bring on in Anaconda pick up where they left off last year grew up global only get better as he stays healthy only get better as the season goes, I really like the 49ers, Kevin Harlan right now. You also got to see last week Denver and Las Vegas and Denver place tonight. Is there hosting the Colts. That offense has a lot of problems with Hackett and Wilson, how concerned should Broncos fans because this record is to into after the first four games but it seems like there were still bolting the what the record indicates while Victor wanted William to return even though he and Melvin Gordon have the same number of carries. Basically Williams in that game he came out and started the lead guy and was carrying the ball most of the time, and then he blew anything and so he's out for the season. I think at this time with.

Is very yeah yeah him up. Some instructors got and now Gordon becomes a guy the Gordon has fumbled four times. Once inside the five at the goal line and the other day in Vegas. He fumbled and returned it 69 the other way. So he's got an issue and after concerned and began addressing the running game to be a good quarterback.

I've always felt that about him.

He is best in Seattle when you get good running back back there, including Marsha Lynch. That's when Russ was at his best, and that when the offense was at its best, because it is pouring action on his ability to run the way he uses running backs. I will you read that the defense to use that one game and change your client is very adept at that. He's got great receivers. The Trident situation so so and I like the line, especially the left side and I like a said before, it is you gonna talk about defensively. Denver's terrific. So on a bill and I can keep an eye for more than anything, just trying to Kenneth smooth things out. You mentioned the communication issues again management as they fired a longtime €18 for Jerry Rothberg. He is a part of retirement in the press box. Talking with Hackett and the other day when we were in Vegas gone again. You could see that Hackett was giving the whole of of doing whatever he wanted to as much leeway as he wanted it managing the game from the press box when you take time out when not to. When you accidentally decline everything so I think that is now in the rearview mirror, I think.

I think they figure that out. Hackett was smart to admit it. Hackett was smart to hire this guy along with your statement render GM from last year but is relatively new and he's going to pull out the Wilson fragrance Seattle so I think that I think to check that box I keep mine in Denver as well. Leaders are team dealing with a bunch of line problems were always dreamed of. Offense of line issues and that really is consonant limits trickling down to probably time for the quarterback.

The running game and latch. But last week the Raiders did get Josh Jacobs, often running. He looked at the best of luck. I think in a couple years.

You look fabulous so so the Raiders I don't think overall strongly Denver. I can't think about the charges and the chief even though they lost a game or something Kansas City might be the classes of the AFE. Certainly that good division them and in Buffalo probably right at the top and AFE certainly seems like it's Buffalo and then also Kansas City and then everyone else is still trying to figure out in the AFC wrapping up at Kevin Harlan.

So this weekend on CBS you will have the Jets and the Dolphins. The biggest storyline going into this game is to a won't be plying what happened last two weeks how you guys handle on Sunday. Well I speak for itself.

I think the players Association and the Bell around the page and died.

I don't think the media as they always do is make this to be a confrontation.

There's no confrontation the help of these players especially can question whether the NFL has spent tens of millions of dollars in helmet development inputting layers of caution on the sideline in the press box to evaluate players on the one area that was a little bit murky was motor skill. I think they're all in agreement. What is the next step.

They knew this was a work in progress. You don't have all the answers but both sides of admitted only want the safety of the players. I think the wellness into a position that there. At that material and I don't sense that a lot.you will.

I think they're all going for the same goal and I think the approach of the Syrian.

I just think there was probably whether it was a lapse or the gray area took effect very optically in that game that we did with Buffalo and Miami, with a staggering tunnel by lower that that that brought this particular issue more than we had that it needed more definition.

I think you're going to get definition and I think it's going to be an enhancement of much better way to approach it from this point on, that you would never see a player optically looks like he is woozy on rubber legs and struggling finding out where he is and that may just can't get the optics along without even attempting to sourcing on TV with her own eyes at the game would say he's done for the day like it's it's not going to happen now, in retrospect, out of the Buffalo game there.

It was probably more back back spasms and ankle. Then it was a hit, but the optics told you it probably could've been different with the motor skill that will be addressed now.

I think sooner than later by the players Association and the link to admit that they are lucky because they don't want the best backups they could possibly want in Teddy Bridgewater so I think I think the story is going to handle itself. I ith I think the Bridgewater will be an incredible bridge between what 201 where the offense was headed and what Bridgewater can can bring his long bald tongue of Ella, but I know that that all the things that too. It did and then get the veteran leadership of the Bridgewater was a class act. We taught them that this afternoon he is he is a wonderful person well in football player. I think I think that that the Dolphins are full steam ahead and they feel like they are what the record says the reason why in the ticketing of working against the very very much improved New York Jets ballclub watching each and every Sunday and I fell on CBS.

Of course this weekend he has that Dolphins Jets game and then you can catch in each and every Monday night on Westwood One.

He is the legendary Kevin Harlan Kevin, always appreciate me carve out some time for us. Thank you look lovely thank you call again great to hear that very time the gray Kevin Harlan with us were company alive is always from the rocky mortgage Studios looking to purchase a new home refinance yours. Rocket mortgage can help you get there Roman solutions that fit your life well rocket can real quickly cold side of the ball first and 10 renegade first play from line of scrimmage at the 25 yard line and all.

Not a good start swing that same Hines drop and Hickey just took his glasses off and is taking part in the glasses and stabbing himself in the IP careful there.

I need a task catch them but I need two things that happened that night or just wanted to get both. That would that make me more money Michael Pittman anytime touchdown Molly Cox anytime touchdown whose will is game tonight using the culture right, because your cold summer 2013 called shock the world tonight is Tyler and I everyone on the bronchus timeout shock the world think the Colts today. You're going up against the team thanks to do that feels like their all in for pipe down was shock the world boxing promoter should be the Broncos like their mom this would be a big time upset you. And lastly, everyone is going to talk and see.

Is this so that easy wins and notes that I was on the call with that being said I will take the Broncos I don't feel great about it but I will give the slight edge to the Denver Broncos. Peyton Manning's room for us. He was at the game for the game. He was taken some time to talk to Frank Reich. Maybe give him a few pointers on how to coach is Frank asking him had patient coming out here all wow that's not good yard with Jonathan Taylor Raheem Hines just went down and he tried to stand up and right away there's four people around him trying to help and now he was real wobbly.that was scary but anyway like I know it's tough to see the heavier I got a little helmet to helmet their body was spinning around Seattle at scary heat heat. Oh my God, his legs went DE could not walk.

Abby's is that he's done, you would think so.

PA what is that Artie and yes, this did. That's the definition of what they have cemented exactly what they say those who are up against the bills trying to stand up bowl wobble like that. He's going to is by himself and assembled. Yeah there was Wiley's one or two guys already. I can't help but him before he even stumbled the first time. Very scary. Now now quickly just moving away for that to go back to what I I said before that the best transitional presentation manager for your physicals deep down you review and go you know antics are people want to yell what I think that hello. All I was in love because he loves the city of Denver.

Congratulations.

You don't want to think that he deep down he is Manning knows where his hay was made. He knows where his hardness yet with the second championship anyone in the Denver with the team that basically he helps save okay.

If that's if that's what you want to sleep at night. That makes it easier for you sleep at night. I will give you and Zach. Kevin went to refer everyone's phones leave Denver.

I'm having such a suck up to people I don't want anyone else that is true is not the case. It is no valid retort. He hates don't really think that now he's upset with the way it ended pretty find out about his Hall of Fame. He was in Denver where when you find out about it is in down the field at mile high and all the highlights are like the highlights of the highlights of the sports radio, back do you ever wonder about dreams or déjà vu that feeling on a first date yeah yeah the spark is real maybe about where the aliens are, if they exist even if this could be infinite. So where is everybody, my name is Mike Simpson my podcast is called. I've got questions out of some animals change color.

What's the best cure for the hiccups.

Judy wash your denim. I usually wait for six months, feels like a long time search for. I've got questions on the Odyssey Or where ever you get your podcasts new episodes on Thursdays. Listening to the second Guild show that Guild show on CBS sports radio so one point of clarification, so this was earlier in the week, NFL PA that it fell soon are expected to agree to new protocols in which any time, any player demonstrates any instability he is not allowed to return to the game could go into effect as early as week five so that was on October 1 from Adam Shafter.

Now, Mike, Carol, follow from the NFL network just tweeted this out as they came.

Hines did leave the game and he was very wobbly. Could not walk. Had to get held up by four people and that eventually was able walk off with people around him. He said the new NFL NFL PA protocols have not been finalized, but the message of the joint statement last week regarding gross motor instability was clear and then my car follow said theme Hines won't be back tonight. Just hope he's okay. I did see that he was questionable to return was the official designation already by the Indianapolis Colts will see what happens there is. He's now heading back to the locker room for concussion test after exhibiting gross motor instability on the field that is from Ian Rappaport so I would be Ryan shot theme Hines does return to the game now became clear. Concussion protocol is no chance he returns, but with this new kind of pending.

I guess there's an opportunity for Frank to return, but because of optics, especially what happened with the bills Dolphins game we all watch the bills Dolphins game and go to is out for the game and somehow he finds way back into the game in the second half with how fresh that is. I would think Roger Caddell I don't I don't think he's at the game.

I don't know if he is risen, is already on the phone with Jim or say say yes. Theme Hines is not coming back to this game, especially with how he just walked off the field like that right like he secured optics. There is your chance to come back I'll maybe he'll be clear, there is another to a back situation is that the case there's no way he stimuli back in easily to a back situation as a buyer is a back injury have a bad back by when you are getting evaluated for concussion and you would cleared by the independent doctor and the team doctor either. She passed the test and the test is insufficient or the doctors messed up the test in their evaluation test.

I still think that was a concussion. Now my doctor how easy it is the pastor concussion test event player statement that hard to pass a concussion test and some of them knew that a concussion still pass and got back in the game.

It was an angel but worth said that an Amazon prime. After that, the Thursday night game I was back didn't hurt, but that look like a concussion to me. Go back that bills both in considering the doctor got fired at a guess that yet. He probably not the right protocol and like you said, it probably is not a back injury, but even in the 1% of 1% chance and I am Hines somehow to back spasm.

That's why he you know stumbled his neck and there's no use can't, after seeing that on national TV decanter after what the last week and half of discussions with like there's no way also totally different conversation here, but revolving this game as well. I don't think anyone brought this up leading up to it.

I just saw video of where it was before the game is Denver's up three nothing against the Indianapolis Colts is the culture driving guardian Denver side of the field Richard Sherman on Amazon prime broadcast Richard Sherman who has pretty much been rooting against Russell Wilson.

I think that's a fair thing to say, especially some of the tweets that he sent out during that Seattle Seahawks Denver Broncos game conversation with Russell Wilson before the game and they look like they were to have a good time there like to open house reunited.

Once again, I saw this video from Barstow sports is Richard Sherman. One of those guys in the media that he probably always attack is maybe someone that is real tough behind the keyboard keyboard warrior then tough behind the microphone that when he sees rusty acts like it's possible his best friend to me from the excerpt that I saw 67 second clip that I saw I not seen the clips. I hope it's not the case but I will say is this, I would not be surprised or I would think action is the case.

Russell Wilson seems very passive-aggressive and Richard Sherman came over there. I could see Ross being very welcoming, very warm and I must pretend like he didn't hear everything Richard Shermer saying a kind of the glee he was taken in that week one losses the ox. I did not see this in the video and all it is. It's literally five seconds Russell Wilson. I don't anymore. It's as if it's because of the sun that setting in Denver. He's calling 2020 looks at Richard Sherman. It's almost as if Russell Wilson's on the stage and it's one of those moments that is how galling. One possible citizen. The short excerpt between these two could Ross maybe have similar intentions here with this new partnership with subway given him a little subway sandwich and I don't know maybe maybe putting something to upset Richard Sherman stomach, and that subway sandwich that will revenge. That way, upset stomach and digestion. Diarrhea Richard Sherman today was in the post game show because Russ gave one of the subway sandwiches to them much more likely than Russ confronting him and try get his face and say what is wrong with you etc. cults at the pond. By the way, man. Your office on good your actor said again I hear nowhere just got I got called to add the pod and acting mumbles again.

I'm actually doing good so far reshuffled line 3 nothing little little life in the game down, burn, burn the TVs turn them off as support. I would like you to stop being so optimistic and stopping a sucker for this team and keep on sending to winter good team Bubba Bubba Bubba Bob and chose the Bangor break something in the studio make the got a spike tomorrow and say hey we got an issue he broke something in the studio. He had a rage moment. I was in Philadelphia the Flyers for one season. They had this rage page where they lead fans just go into a a room in the stadium and break things you would pay the right things and get all your rage out maybe to get those numbers up in the podcast, which I'm sure is doing great and that the ratings are probably enormous anyway because the hot to get the podcast maybe we get a live stream of arrange cage of Hickey during a cults gave me just throwing things around breaking things in the studio baseball bat getting taken to this to the board. Maybe that's what we need to do hunting because of the podcast got a hot I will get very upset last week I was very throwing things. My apartment house that reacts your loss and now you you think that they can win tonight lately point you still think they're a good team. They beat themselves.

What is even more than they could get even more mad when you put the blame that they're just not a good team and that the other teams are better than Jill Mr. when they started playing games and activities you tied to the Texans get off the bus against the Jaguar they didn't die down. 14.

Nothing you won't get to see an ounce of credit for last week Derek Catamaran three like a hot knife through butter.

The first so not 60 minutes. The first batch.

The goalposts I just extend the goalposts for the Colts. It's laughable not very fair division last year in Tennessee socks. Not a good team to the football team and I got that run I admit I got along really say this to middle class. I sure they didn't this year. Jeremy everyone is on a) I just me.

So why not that I mean that in terms of being the great team. No one said this is contending team there and AFC South division winning quantity take the fortune. Well, that's were there that this Hollis you know what that's in there trying to be this year. Everyone's AFC South is the policy to one that's not saying you're wrong. I've never said that all genders get the playoffs but I why the plastic get blown out by 40 in the wild-card round still have a franchise quarterback and saw that bozo the head coach on the sideline.

You want a new coach and a new quarterback and be in the top 10 tradable future assets. Just be bad this year and dropped the quarterback in the top 10 competent authority coaches that killed Jones to be a sports radio season for the first time, you can hear everyone so one of the broadcasting live for free Monday Thursday Sunday nights international series knowledgeable letters in every postseason game. Catch all the action on the Odyssey app on Westwood One sports.com Westwood One station streams of asking Alexa open Westwood One's portal sponsored by AutoZone battery testing free battery charging replacing batteries that fit your needs. That is what makes AutoZone America's number one battery destination get in the zone AutoZone when we return. Kevin Harlan believes that the 49ers are dangerous team and that their contender will circle back on that we return. Do you ever wonder about dreams or déjà vu that feeling on a first date.

Yes yes the spark is real maybe about where the aliens are, if they exist even if this could be infinite. So where is everybody, my name is Mike Simpson my podcast is called. I've got questions out of some animals change color. What's the best cure for the hiccups. Judy wash your denim. I usually wait for six months, feels like a long time search for. I've got questions on the Odyssey app or were ever to get your podcasts new episodes on Thursdays. Listening to the second Guild show that Guild show on CBS sports radio so Kevin Harlan joined us to kick off the hour and he said that the 49ers are a team that you got to keep an eye on and he thinks there contending team in the NFC.

That's a fair statement hot take Hickey when you look at the plan the 49ers to the first four weeks it's been up and down. At first it was okay train Lance is going to be there guy then train Lance gets hurt, they lose the game to Chicago that came was in a monsoon in the Windy City. Then you see week two and they beat Seattle get the injury to Trey Lance Jimmy.

She comes off the bench. They win the game and they do so going away by 20 points. Then week three Jimmy G forgot to play the quarterback position defense play well, but they lose 1011 and a team that you would you believe is seven and when the regular season up against the Rams.

They dominate the Rams and it was 24 to 9 and I contest for the defense play great once again depot. Samuel broke like 9000 tackles told Kayla Ramsey to sit down and Jimmy G was efficient was the best way to say but trickling to be out for several weeks. Is that fair to with the up and down play the called the Niners a contending team in the NFC right now. No not go there like you said, inconsistent up in Deming we just saw him a week ago. Score 10 points get the Broncos and just like off-line offense. The tricky part here is they look really good on their football.

Everyone's watching but there was like an answer Rams emeritus team went three games or 13 games. It's one of those things are 49ers on the Rams. Let's see how they look. Five weeks now, but that's when I you know halfway through the year. If this team is beating some better teams outside the RAM, then look Sunday that's a team in Carolina you should smack good defense.

That's about it and that defense is been consistently show up for 30 minutes but ostensibly J Baker Mayfield looks horrible right now so that should be a team in the Panthers this weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina that you went would be surprised in the foreground is Panthers this week. The Panthers are good team but I wouldn't be surprised because it would fit very much into their season of don't have a pulse up against Denver, ostensibly then show a ton of life and dominate the Rams and the use of the Panthers had to make a plan I can. I would lay the points with the 49 good about it. Not that big bet on that game. I had to. But even your point should just be more than a wing like sure they handle the scheme where it's not even in doubt rose midway through the third quarter, going to the fourth quite dishabille when were they breezed through their next two games Carolina and Atlanta.

I don't like to be better people thought if two wins, you should know Cordell Patterson to disease on IR designated fraternities at a minimum four weeks. Kyle Pitts not to play this week most likely was not trending that direction. Playing this week will see if he is able play next week. There's no fans or butts about their no excuses here. If the foreground is don't when these next two games there concerning, but I will say this, I do agree a little bit with Kevin Harlan now to be fair when I did follow-up us if you think the get to a Super Bowl and he goes I can just see them being contending into us a spot where there in Lasher and they could have a lead in the fourth quarter of a nice Italian so that he think they can get to a suitable here's why. Even though I don't love the San Francisco team why you gotta throw them into the contending conversation that probably top five team even with all their problems, severe top five team in the NFC year in that hopper of contending teams, Eagles, no doubt about a contending team Packers contending team box still contending team and those teams have warts in Philly right now agreement is not about their three and one and they are campus to into so then if you tell me the Rams the Packers the box and Eagles are like contending teams for Niners just doors off the Rams Was a bit better than what we expected, especially to Cooper Russian drama ready to the Dallas Super Bowl though Minnesota stream one of Minnesota's kind of been streaking anything. I feel the best from 61 yards out in a game where the saints did not have Jim Swenson did not about the canard that Michael Thomas just to win the game 2825 so because the pool isn't deep in the NFC. That's what the 49ers love a shot because of last year there were stretches last year. They look like they're in the Mr. Plass and Kyle Shanahan would be in danger of losing his job. Only in the fourth quarter of NFC title game.

So if you want to get the benefit of the doubt to a team. Even though I don't love Jimmy Coppola even though concerns me. Trent Williams is there and I don't like their offense with Don last two, three, four years, the deserve the benefit of the doubt when I pick them up against teams like Dallas, Minnesota does to Arizona. Even 49ers Friday they get the benefit of the doubt and their rosters legit unit.

I like the roster line.

Other little banged up right now.

Very good roster especially looking in NFC like you looking around. I don't call great right now roster great with the quarterback play being questionable. Lots of the quarterback on the cigarettes that's big question we look around like Eagles have a lot of roster pocket probably head but the Buccaneers are banged officially offense of line the Rams when I don't have an appetite whatsoever and no receiving corps outside all running to Cooper comp name they may call me Mraz McMonagle and anyone else that the Lord what's on this file fence line so it's like you really quickly outside of the Eagles may be the Packers. There is not like the NFC. There's not many teams like if you take the court right out of it to roster spots to the 50s is the 49ers crazy how the Eagles are the best team in this conference. Right now it's on and close right now. Super Bowl.

But right now they have the best roster in the NFC.
