In our last division preview prior to the start of the 2021 season Tim “The Ferds” breaks down the AFC East. Tim starts off with the New England Patriots and their shocking decision to release Cam Newton just a few days ago. Tim tells us why we really should not be surprised by this move and why Mac Jones will be treated like the young Tom Brady filling in for Drew Bledsoe. Tim also tells us why he expects a big rebound for the Patriots defense as well as their team as a whole. Next up Tim talks about the Jets and rookie quarterback Zach Wilson. He tells us why despite what he showed in the preseason this is most likely going to be an uphill battle for Wilson and the Jets. Tim also tells us why there is some fantasy value to be had on this Jets team. Next up Tim goes to Miami where he talks about how he has been out on Tua well before Miami drafted him and why he would have already sold the farm for Deshaun Watson. Lastly Tim talks about how Josh Allen and the Bills are the heavy favorites in this division and why he expects the Bills to make a deep run into the playoffs in 2021.
In today's episode Tim “The Ferds” goes down south to visit the AFC teams that reside there. Tim starts off by quickly dismissing the Texans especially if DeShaun Watson is not going to be playing but he explains how funny he finds it that they added every old running back on the planet to one team. He quickly moves to Jacksonville where he explains despite Trevor Lawrence's potential greatness he is going to have a long year. Tim also tells us that Urban Meyer is 100% going to be a bust at the NFL level and he fully expects him to pull the health card when he quits this job. Tim also tells us why the Travis Etienne injury is costly going forward for him but there are other guys on this roster who have fantasy value. Tim finally gets to the only two teams who actually have a chance in the Titans and Colts. Tim explains why the Colts are dependent on Carson Wentz's health and why they could run the table in the AFC if he is out there. As for Tennessee it comes down to one thing, and that one thing is defense. Tim tells us why he expects Tennessee to go far despite their terrible defense but how it will cost them come playoff time.
In today's episode Tim “The Ferds” breaks down the AFC North, but he starts off by telling us why he thinks the Seahawks really dropped the ball with the Jamal Adams trade and now contract. Tim also explains some ripple effects of the Jamal Adams contract around the league and within the Seahawks organization. As far as the AFC North goes Tim starts off with the Cincinnati Bengals and tells us why we should all be worried about Joe Burrow's knee and why the Bengals let him down just one draft into his tenure as the quarterback. Tim goes on to tell us why he thinks every single guy on the Bengals offense is basically a steal in fantasy drafts across the board. Next up Tim piggybacks off fellow Beak Brands author Tom Ruppel's 32 in 32 on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tim goes in on why Pittsburgh is basically set up for failure again in 2021 and why last seasons collapse should not be a surprise at this point. After Pittsburgh Tim goes to Cleveland where he wants to water down expectations for this Browns team. Despite their strong off-season and draft Tim isn't buying into the Browns as a true Super Bowl contender this season or even the favorite for the division crown. Finally Tim tackles the Ravens and explains why they are still the top dog in this division in his mind.
In today's episode Tim “The Ferds” discusses his favorite division the AFC West. He starts off with the Las Vegas Raiders and explains to us why he is still very confused to what is going on there. Not only did the Raiders “revamp” their entire offensive line but they also signed a running back that they did not need. Derek Carr has been improving every year under Gruden but will it be enough to get them into the playoffs after another collapse last season. Next up Tim goes to Denver to talk about the Broncos scary defense. Tim tells us why if the Broncos get anything out of Drew Lock or Teddy Bridgewater this is a fringe playoff team just based off their defense alone. Speaking of defenses after Denver Tim talks up the Chargers and tells us why he is once again drinking all the Charger Kool-Aid possible. Tim tells us why he isn't worried about Justin Herbert repeating his season last year and why Brandon Staley was a great hire for the Chargers. Tim lays out why he thinks the Chargers will make the playoffs after they have repeatedly disappointed him in years past. Finally Tim talks about how the Chiefs can shake off the Super Bowl loss and why he expects them to get back to the big game again this year. Tim explains why the Chiefs were able to fleece the Ravens for Orlando Brown and why the offensive line re-haul will do more than just allow Pat Mahomes to stay in the pocket.
In today's episode Tim “The Ferds” starts off the show with the big news of Carson Wentz and Quenton Nelson going down for the Colts with the same injury. Tim tells us why Carson Wentz's injury could be a death sentence for the Colts if they don't make a trade or bring Philip Rivers out of retirement. Tim also explains why Carson Wentz's mental abilities would be greatly impacted by a big dick Nick Foles trade. Tim quickly explains why he thinks almost every team should be in on Jeff Gladney despite the negative PR that would come with him. For the main portion of the episode Tim tells us why the Eagles and Giants are in the same boat when it comes to their quarterback but why Daniel Jones could lead the franchise down a very slippery slope if he doesn't pan out this season. Next up with the Cowboys Tim explains why it is going to come down to the defense to save Mike McCarthy's job, and why he is already nervous about Dak Prescott. Finally Tim wraps it up with Washington and why he thinks their young defense led by their ferocious defensive front could carry Ryan Fitzpatrick all the way to the playoffs.
