Follow the Offensive Line on the WNDRI app or wherever you get your podcast. Welcome to the Offensive Line, you guys. We're here to make some pics, talk some and hopefully make you some money. I'm Annie Agar, your host here today with our guest. He's the co-host of the Dan Lepetard Show with Stugatz and the author of Stugatz's personal recordbook. How many times am I going to say his name? I'm here today with the one and only It's two guys.

You can't say it enough, to be honest with you. Can't say it enough. And you can't promote my book enough. So thank you for doing it on the front end.

I love it. That's great. Full self promotion is a good thing. Okay, let's get into some game pics. Like I said, Jets are favored minus seven on the Road at New England, what's your pick for that game?

What do you think of Drake May before I make my pick?

I think he's good. I think he's great. I thought he survived a lot longer than I thought he would. I thought he'd die behind that O-line. It's Gerard Mayo. It's just...

Right. He's calling his team soft.

Yeah, the team soft. That's your problem, dude. Have you ever seen... I think you should leave, where he says he's in the hot dog suit. It's a skit. It's Tim Robinson. And he comes in, and he goes... And the hot dog car comes to the house, and he goes, Whoever's car that is. She'll go, We're all trying to find the guy who did this. It's you, Mayo. Drod, it's you.

God. They're soft because you are. They're soft because you are soft. You're responsible for them being soft.

Didn't he give out a game ball to literally everyone on the team for week one? Oh, my God. Soft.

Soft. Okay. All right. So who am I taking? Okay. I am going to, as much as they frustrate me, they have to get this right. They can't lose to the Patriots. Jets minus seven on the road. That's a big number. I like it.

Yeah, that's a big- This is a must-win game. The Jets are two wins. That's a big number.

But the fact that the Jets are seven-point favorites, Annie, speaks to how bad the Patriots are. So I will take the Jets here to win by 14 points.

Yeah, I think I'm going to take the Jets to cover for sure. But New England, I don't know. It's New England just sucked against the Dolphins. There's no way. Okay.

I'm also not feeling bad for New England. I mean, they had the grand Boston for that matter. They had the greatest 20-year run of any sports center in any sports city in America. And by the way, you said you could relate to me earlier with the Green Bay Backers. No, you can't. You are about- That's true. Listen, you had Brett Favre, you had Aaron Rodgers, and now you have Jordan Love. Jordan Love. You want a couple of Super Bowl's. I get your quarterback at the very end. I cannot wait. 15 years from today, I cannot wait to have Jordan Love be the quarterback of the New York.

And the Vikings. I know. It's the weirdest. It is the weirdest thing. And I don't know if Jordan Love, we'll get into this later, but I don't know if Jordan Love has watched so much game film of Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers. He's literally both of them. And I did this in my video as well this week. He has Aaron Rodgers on one shoulder, Brett Favre on the other, telling him, You know, check it down here, everything. It's okay. Be safe. The other one's stand. Throw the damn ball. Throw a deep throw.

It's ridiculous. But I'll tell you this, neither of them are giving him good advice on light.

No, they're not. It's not an angel and a devil on the shoulder. It's two devils. It's terrible. Okay, now we're going to play a little game called Hope or Coat. Nfl fans can talk themselves into literally anything. We've seen it happen all the time, like how we thought the Jets were going to be good this year. Is there something to legitimately hope for, or are fans just coping with a sad, sad reality? So we're going to put two minutes on the clock. This will just be quick answers. You're going to tell me if each of us should have hope or just cope. The Rams are two and five. They're getting Cooper Cup back, though, but they play Minnesota on Thursday night football this week. Should they hope or cope? Hope.

The Ram should hope. They're getting Cup back. I know Cup has been rumored in some trades, maybe to the Chiefs, which would be absolutely ridiculous. But I think in a bad division with San Francisco, not as good as they've been in years past. Hope. Hope for the Rams.

49ers. They're three and four. Oh, man. Mccafree will be back, but they are just dealing with so How many injuries they had. Brandon Ayuk out for the season. It's terrible. So is it time for them to hope or cope?

You have Ayuk out for the season. You have Debo Samuel sitting in the hospital. Brock Purdy is overrated. Kyle Shanahan is also overrated. Blah, blah, blah. Kyle Shanaher. I mean, Jesus, make it to a Super Bowl and actually win it when you get there. He has failed to do that, and everyone anoints him as the smartest genius coach in the NFL. He's not. Yeah, cope. Cope, San Francisco. You had a great run. It's It's going to be a bad year. It's going to be a long year. Cope.

Kyle Shanaher can't blow a 10-point lead if he doesn't have one. Okay, bangles. They're three and four. They're heating up, but their wins are over. Carolina, the Giants, and Cleveland. Is it time to hope or cope?

It is time to hope. I know they lost that game to Baltimore a couple of weeks ago. I said at one and four, I told Leventar this, that the Bengals are the best one and four team in the history of the NFL. They almost beat the Chiefs. The schedule is easy. They will be five and four the next time they play and they play Baltimore, I believe, at home. So I would say a lot of hope for the Cincinnati Bengals, because I'm not certain there's a team better equipped to beat Kansas City in the playoffs than the Cincinnati Bengals.

And lastly, Tampa Bay, their four and three. Baker is leading the league in touch downs, but lost Godwin and Mike Evans last night. Oh, my gosh. Is it time to hope or cope?

I would say hope still. The Baker Mayfield story is a great story. The Browns could use a quarterback like that. It is. It's a great story. I know they lose Evans. Godwin is great. He's out for the year. Evans might come back. Maybe they trade for a wide receiver. Division is not that good. I would say hope for that.

I think there's more hope than cope going on here, guys. That's good news for fan bases. All right, guys. Now it is time for us, two guys, our segment called No Offense. This is your chance, not that the Zen support group wasn't, but this is your chance to rant about something that you are super offended by in the NFL or something that's just been bothering you. This is called No offense. So first, the rule is you have to start out by saying no offense, but because everybody knows when you say no offense, it's not going to be offensive. So I will start. This is going to be off the cuff because I have a lot of emotions about this. I'm going to try and condense it down. No offense, but Jordan Love has the best parts of Aaron Rodgers and Brett Fav. Everybody's saying it's negative. Everybody is negative about it. But I see positive qualities, and I think this could be a very good thing. We talked about earlier, he might go play for the Vikings and then go to the Jets afterward. It doesn't matter, guys. We have a Hall of Fame quarterback.

You guys try to tell me that he has the worst parts of both of my other Hall of Fame quarterbacks. I don't buy it. I think he looks great. His ceiling is incredibly high. As long as he doesn't steal from the Salvation Army, we're good. We're already better than Brett Favre. So give me Jordan Love for the next 12 years, however many years I have him with the little parts of Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre. I'll take it. I love it. I love the man.

No offense, but Miles Garrett and Jameis Winston, shut the hell up. What are you guys talking about and who the hell are you defending? Are you kidding me? You're defending Deshawn Watson? That's the guy you're defending. And by the way, leave the fans alone. Fans are fans. It's not their fault they went out and got Deshawn Watson. So I don't blame the fans for cheering Deshawn on the way in, and I certainly don't blame them for booing him on the way out. Who I blame is Miles, Garrett, and Jameis Winston for being complete morons and forgetting about all the off the field stuff that has gone on with Deshawn Watson. If you want to blame someone, if you want to speak up, don't speak up about the fans, speak up about Deshawn. He is the reason that you're getting this reaction from the fans. And if you want to blame someone, blame Deshawn Watson for what he did off the field. And if you want to blame someone else, blame Jimmy Haslem, the owner, for signing Deshawn Watson when he knew everything that he did off the field. Enough, Miles, Garrett, and James Winston, please stop defending Deshawn He's still not in.

Hey, Stugatz, but he said he was only good for most of his pro career. So the most of is the big part there.

That was the best rant.

It was crazy. I get you're supporting your teammates and everything, but treating him like he's some victim out here is just wild. And there was a take on it yesterday. I think it was somebody said, there are actual victims out there of things that he settled, cases that he settled, and now we're making it seem like he did absolutely nothing wrong. It's crazy.

It's interesting because people are pointing out the bad play and stuff. He's living with demons. He's living with demons, right? Yeah.

It would be harder to make fun of him if he wasn't literally the worst quarterback in the NFL. Well, he sucks. He's terrible.

No, if he was playing well, they'd be freaking out when he was calling off the field. Yeah, exactly. But he's not. And so, Andy, I just can't stand when players and people tell fans how to... Fans are fans. This is a release for them. Yes. And by the way, we have been rooting. If you're a fan of sports, you are rooting for bad people all the time. You just don't know it. You just don't know it yet, okay? I'm not saying they're all bad, but there are bad people you've rooted for, I promise you, over the course of time. You just don't know it, all right? They're bad in their private life. But I hate when people tell fans how to act. I can't stand that. Fans are going to be fans. They're going to cheer to Sean Watson despite all the scars, all the stuff off the field, all of it. They're going to cheer him on the way in because they think that he can win him a Super Bowl, and they're going to boo him on the way out because he wasn't playing well. And so for two players to come out and blast the fans for that and not blast their owner for signing the guy in the first place is patently absurd.

It's ridiculous. If that happened in Philadelphia, imagine the fans there have done egregious things. They threw snowballs at Santa and batteries and all that stuff. Just leave the fans alone. Let them be fans. We're all coping together. There's no hope.

Unless you're nick Seriani, then you go and you shake the evening. I was just going to say, nick Seriani. Yes, because that's on brand. Listen, when you have a fan base that is a bunch of total assholes, your head coach needs to be an asshole. That's what Seriani is.

That's true. That is very true. Follow the offensive line on the WNDRI app or wherever you get your podcast. You can access bonus episodes and listen ad free right now by joining WNDRI Plus.
