I feel like we crowned the Steelers defense a little bit too early

I feel like we've maybe crowned [the Steelers defense] a little bit too early. They're very good. But they also played some not great quarterbacks. And now they had to play Joe Flacco. He won a Super Bowl. He's elite.

The Steelers defense remained a top-10 unit, but they were not as impenetrable as they appeared in weeks 1-3.

The Ravens are all the way back after dominating the Bills

Looks like the Ravens are all the way back. ... The Ravens ascending back to what we expected preseason after an 0-2 start. ... It's just something about it [the all-black uniforms]. It adds like five points of strength to every player.

The Ravens finished 13-4 and secured the #1 seed in the AFC, proving they were indeed 'back' to elite status.

Derrick Henry is no longer a 'fat ass' and is back to his dominant self

Also Lamar Jackson is good now. He's no longer a fat ass. ... And yeah, Derrick Henry is, I mean he's 87-yard touchdown. I did not think Big D had an 87-yard touchdown still in his bag.

Derrick Henry went on to lead the NFL in rushing yards and touchdowns in 2024.

I am now officially ready to take the Vikings for real

I am now officially ready to take the Vikings for real. I needed this win for them to take them fully for real. And Sam Darnold, maybe he is just different now.

The Vikings finished the season 12-5 and made the playoffs, proving they were indeed 'for real' despite preseason expectations.

I love the DJ Moore trade for the Bears because it clears cap space for Max Crosby or Tyler Linderbaum

I love this trade because you clear up money. [DJ Moore's] got a big pretty hefty contract so you clear up money to maybe go get a Max Crosby or a Linderbaum. You get a pick and you make the bet that Luther Burden and Rome Odunze are gonna be taking leaps forward.

The trade is real in this transcript's timeline. The outcome of the cap space usage depends on free agency results.

DJ Moore would not have had a 1,000-yard season if he stayed in the Bears' offense

He could have a thousand yards [with the Bills] and be like, wow. How, how could you trade him? He wouldn't have had a thousand yards in this Bear's offense.

Moore finished the 2023 season with 1,364 yards for the Bears, so this retrospective hypothetical is likely incorrect as he had already proven he could do it.

Malik Willis is the #1 free agent backup quarterback

Top quarterback free agents... Is it also Malik Willis? Malik Willis is, yes. So he's number one. Malik Willis one.

Willis was traded to the Packers in 2024 and performed well as a backup, but ranking him #1 over established vets is a subjective value judgment.
