Transcripts

now look I wouldn't usually do a video

about a power ranking but for whatever

reason Mike Florio is at pro football

talk it just got to me it got to me

today I wanted to do a video about it I

wanted to do a video explaining some of

my issues with it now anybody watching

this who maybe has not followed SE trp

log or my channel for the last few years

I am not a homer I do not expect the

Seahawks to be in the top five or even

in the top 10 I think the Seahawks pick

was it 16th overall in the draft they

were right bang in the middle of the NFL

last year I don't personally understand

why the Seahawks are ranked six places

lower than they were in the overall NFL

ranking that constitutes the NFL draft

and I can understand why some people who

are just sort of looking at the Seahawks

on the outside in would say that they

have got a rookie head coach they've got

a rookie offensive coordinator defensive

coordinator special teams coordinator

that maybe that's just going to be too

much for them it's going to be a

learning curve they may well look at the

Seahawks and go well you haven't got Joe

burrow and you haven't got momes and you

don't have quite the same luster and

Buzz as the Lions and the Packers who

made a bit of noise in the playoffs for

example you didn't have a really great

regular season last year like the Ravens

or have the MVP playing for you at

quarterback I understand all of those

things and I do not expect the Seahawks

to be a top say eight team in this power

ranking or even in the top 10 but to

have them at

22nd like what is this like I I don't

understand why the Seahawks are being as

underrated as they are like are the

Seahawks better than the Colts right now

yeah I would say that they are and look

we got to find out from next Sunday

these teams are going to play we'll get

to see how good the Seahawks are but the

Colts have got a bit of a question mark

because Anthony Richardson's he couldn't

stay healthy last year if he doesn't

play Joe Flo Joe Flaco did very well

with Kevin Stefan

and Cleveland last year can he do that

again at his age if he has to play and

who'd better against him having to play

at some point given we've not seen that

Anthony Richardson can stay healthy in

the NFL the Colts don't have a whole

cluster of exciting Playmakers on

offense you've got receivers that you

know they've not have they done more

than DK Metar and Tyler lockit you know

some of them they've got some promise at

certain positions but so have the

Seahawks and you'd expect that you know

the likes of Jackson Smith and jig will

take a step Deon Witherspoon will take

take a step Bo ma Derek you get the

picture I don't see how the Colts R of

the Seahawks the Jaguar were awful last

year like is this just like a Trevor

Lawrence thing whereby because he had so

much hype coming into the league even

though he has not delivered on that hype

there's still like a a little bit of a

bump for the Jaguars because of Trevor

lowens I don't understand why they're

there I think the Cowboys nexts are

probably a bit too low given what they

did last year and I there some question

marks around the Cowboys but they should

they be below the Falcons for example I

me God will come on to them I don't I

think the Chargers should probably be a

little bit higher because of Harbaugh

they have quite a a decent roster with

some very good players that obviously

have the quarterback he's got a foot

injury at the moment but you'd expect

that he's going to be able to work

around that Harbor just comes into

places and the team seem to be very

tough and physical and and hard to beat

right off the bat you know okay the Rams

we we've talked about them in my

prediction thing I think they're a

little bit overrated they've lost Aaron

Donald you know they' probably a bit

down on where they would expect to be as

well but whatever the the ones that I

have an issue with more than anything

how are the Falcons at 16 you know this

is a team that ended up picking eighth

in the draft like what has happened with

the Falcons is is an injured Kurt

Cousins really enough to elevate the

Falcons from being one of the 10 worst

teams in the NFL to a top half team

considering that their first round pick

was spent on a backup quarterback or

quarterback of the future if we're going

to be more generous with that appraisal

why are they 16th why are the Steelers

15th like is their defense that good I

mean it's an aging defense what is

obviously very very good but what about

the offense right now and the question

mark of the quarterback position

warrants the Steelers being a top 15

team the Jets have been a hot mess for a

long time and Aaron roders has not

played since like the fourth snap of the

first game of last season and you're

going to give them the benefit of the

doubt and say that they're going to pick

they're going to be the 14th ranked team

in this power ranking I mean do we not

have to see the Jets actually do

something before we start rating them

this highly the Bears the Bears who

again you know were were picking high in

the draft within the top

10 they have a rookie quarterback who

has got unbelievable Talent

but he's going to be led by Shane

Waldren are the Bears is he right now

can you honestly say that the Bears are

the 13th best team in the NFL that to me

is a power ranking you make a month into

the year when Caleb Williams has shown

that he can hit the ground running that

is not a ranking that you made now I

think it's generous with the Browns

Deshawn Watson is a disaster they caught

fire with

flacko if Watson can't play is are they

going be able to do it with DTR I mean

that I don't know I don't know Nick

chub's still not back obviously miles

Garrett's exceptional they're very well

coached 12th best

team not sure and then the bookaneers at

number nine I

mean come on I mean they won the NFC

South by default last

year and yes they got a playoff win and

then a playoff loss so is that propelled

them into the the top 10 what about the

Buccaneers with Liam Cohen who in his

only other job as an offensive

coordinator was a one andd with the

Rams and Baker Mayfield who's now being

paid like what has turned the books into

a top 10 team I it really does not make

sense to me this and then when you go

down to the bottom of the list the fact

that the Cardinals are below the Giants

the Cardinals are by no stretch an

exciting

playoff caliber team in my opinion but

the Giants are a hot mess so are the

Raiders I don't know how you can put the

Cardinals below either of those teams

and the commanders have to show that

Jayden Daniels is ready I mean this is

the what I don't get like the Bears are

suddenly the 13th best team but the

commanders are still at the 27th it's

almost as if the commanders are ranked

with a show me something and the Bears

are just being told great 13th best team

in the league

someone explain it to me and then from

the Seahawks perspective yeah you could

say well new coach new defensive

coordinator new special teams

coordinator V whatever yes there's not a

lot of experience within the top

coaches you could also say that when you

look at last year's Seahawks they were

crying out for change that a lot of the

issues of the Carol era are being

rectified with this staff listen to

jiren Reed this week very interesting

comments well I don't want to say

anything back about the previous setup

but I'm going to we're back to Old

School physical

football they couldn't stop the Steelers

running game at the end of last season

to the point of it being humiliating at

Lumen field and they're going to be

tough and physical again they're going

to be creative they're going to be

deceptive they're going to get after

opponents they're probably going to

create more turnovers they are not going

to have the 28th ranked defense next

year like they did per def away last

year it's going to be a lot better under

Mike McDonald and Aden diry with Leonard

Williams back with Byron Murphy added to

the mix with Boya MAF and a chenan Wu

when he gets healthy and Derek Cole

looking a lot better this year that's

going to be a defensive line that's

going to cause some team some problems

and jiren Reed don't sleep on jiren Reed

don't sleep on Jonathan henkins in the

impact he could have as a nose tackle

and then you've got T woen who looks

primed for a return to form with the way

that he's been playing in camping in Pre

season and Deon Withers SPO so there's a

lot of reasons to be very optimistic

about the defense and then an offense it

was not an offense that was a massive

problem last year they finished the

season well I personally believe they've

upgraded a massive Way by sending off

Shane Waldren to the Bears who get a top

16 Rank and bringing Ryan grubbin with

Scott huff and there are question marks

about the o line and you know I am not

one of these people that think Gino

Smith is

absolutely franchise quarterback

material but I also don't think that he

is bad enough to Warrant being dropped

to

22nd from sort of the average position

the seahs were in last year under Carol

so I think the Seahawks

probably should be above the Colts the

Jaguars I don't think they should be in

front of the Cowboys going into the

season I think they're probably in a

similar Place deserve to be in a similar

place to the Chargers and the Rams in

terms of a power rank ringg so if you

had them above those two teams it' be

understandable if you had them behind

those two teams it would equally be

understandable but I think all of those

teams should be ahead of the Falcons and

the Steelers I think the Jets have to

show it like I say until they can be

rank that high I think they should all

be ahead of the Bears I think the Browns

deserve to be in that same mix because

they showed they could do it without a

great quarterback last year but how how

sustainable is that and I think the

baners should be in that group as well

rather than ninth so for me a fair place

for the Seahawks is probably

between 12 and 16 I don't see how they

can be worse than last year but I'm not

going to guarantee that they're going to

be miles better and deserve to be in the

top 10 either I think you have to be

somewhat cautious somewhat realistic

going into a season until you see a bit

of football so that's what I don't

understand with this power ranking that

like like I said the the Falcons

Steelers Jets and Bears and Buccaneers

are getting a whole heap of Faith here

and the seks are being told 22nd the

Cowboys are being told was it 19th the

Chargers are only

18th I think the commanders and the

Cardinals and the Titans are too low I

think the Titans have made some good

coaching changes some good player

Acquisitions there I think they'll be

better than the Vikings and the Saints

and the Broncos why are the Broncos 23rd

they've got a rookie quarterback who

they took who they forced to pick uh and

he may well be perfect for Shawn

Payton's system and that will be

justified to force that pick but that's

you know I don't think many teams would

have been willing to take bonix that

early Shawn Payne

was 20 23rd best team in the NFL I mean

I I don't personally understand this and

all it says to me is there will be

opportunities for those people who wish

to demo in a bit of sports betting on

some teams who are being clearly slept

on and you may well enjoy the winnings

that you get if this is anywhere close

to the consensus I don't believe it is I

don't think it makes any sense and it

just when I read it I thought I've got

to do a video on this because it really

makes no sense to me let me know what

you think in the comments section don't

forget to like the video see blog.com
