00:00 Basically the way this is gonna work

00:01 is I'm gonna rapid fire answer questions

00:03 once the half ends.

00:04 Will Jonathan Taylor play for India this week?

00:06 Potentially, he's gonna practice this week.

00:08 I think they're gonna be careful in bringing him back,

00:10 but he has worked his ass off over the last month,

00:11 I can tell you that.

00:13 Is Georgia the best team in the country?

00:15 My college football opinion right now,

00:18 I think they probably still are.

00:19 At least the most talented.

00:20 How bad are the Broncos?

00:22 I think the offense has actually been fine.

00:25 The defense has been a problem,

00:26 played better in the second half of that game.

00:28 A lot of it's gonna depend on their pass rush.

00:30 And guys like Jonathan Cooper, who had the big play,

00:33 losing Von Miller and Bradley Chubb

00:36 over the last couple of years in season hasn't helped.

00:39 It's gotten them draft capital, obviously,

00:43 but you eventually have to find a way

00:45 to generate a pass rush,

00:46 and that's really been a problem for them.

00:48 If Tech isn't throwing me as many picks,

00:50 how bad are the Cowboys, or how good are the Cowboys?

00:53 I think they're pretty good as is.

00:55 And I mean, in three or four games,

00:57 like historic defensively.

01:00 What about Travis Kelce?

01:01 Please give me an update.

01:02 Please give me a shout out.

01:03 I'll give you a shout out,

01:04 and tell you the Travis Kelce thing I believe is all staged.

01:07 Why does Dean Campbell hate Gibbs?

01:08 He doesn't hate Gibbs.

01:10 Go back and look at how they used

01:12 Alvin Kamara in New Orleans.

01:13 That's the template.

01:14 Alvin Kamara has never rushed for 1,000 yards in a season.

01:18 Alvin Kamara is used sparingly in the running game.

01:20 Alvin Kamara was part, in his earlier years,

01:24 of a platoon with Mark Ingram.

01:27 Think of David Montgomery right now as Mark Ingram.

01:29 Is Bryce Young a bust?

01:31 No, I wouldn't say that.

01:32 I think the question with Bryce Young is about his ceiling.

01:34 I think his floor is pretty high.

01:36 Like, I think we can see he can play in the NFL.

01:38 Who wins the Heisman?

01:39 Marvin Harrison Jr.

01:41 What do you think of Rodney Harris's

01:43 post-game questions to Chris Jones?

01:45 Think some of it was unfair.

01:47 I love Rodney, but I do think some of it's unfair.

01:49 And I think he understood that.

01:50 Like, he did apologize to Zach Wilson.

01:53 Put Chris Jones in a tough spot, too.

01:55 Who is winning the Super Bowl?

01:56 Let's say the Niners.

01:58 Who's the Rookie of the Year gonna be?

02:00 Right now, I mean, I would say, like,

02:02 they got it right as far as awarding

02:03 the Offensive Rookie of the Year

02:05 to C.J. Stroud, the Defensive Rookie of the Year,

02:07 to Christian Gonzalez.

02:09 Gonzalez, of course, is hurt now, so we'll see what happens.

02:12 Appreciate you guys coming out for the first shot

02:15 at doing this in the Sports Illustrated

02:18 official Instagram account.
