Previewing EVERY Week 3 NFL matchup 🏈 | The Mina Kimes Show featuring Lenny

[@william-1093]

Mina I love how you are having a good time on your podcast. So enjoyable to watch.

[@seannichols1649]

Yes! Please keep doing these previews! Perfect blend of analytics and on field evaluation. 💪💯👍

[@williamgreen1229]

Watching this late bc I was busy this week, but oh boy! Lots of surprises for ya’ll. Cant wait to see the weekly recap

[@tomcoolidge8138]

Love all of Mina's pods, but especially love these previews with Ben

[@Freewxll614]

Shout out to Ben, my favorite football analyst outside of you ofcourse Mina 🤠

[@ajt2329]

LOVE the previews and LOVE Ben!

[@kothe3rd]

I enjoy the show, Mina! For picking winners of games, one idea could be to wait until the end of reviewing all the games and then quickly picking winners. Or maybe have a list pop up at the end of the video of who picked who. So you won’t have to remember to pick a winner after each review

[@Yoshi_206]

This is a good idea. They could also still say it in each segment for but have a review of all picks at the end.

[@borkborkington6023]

I would say we should start a drinking game for every time they nearly forget to pick a winner, but I don't want to die 😂

[@Bite-Size-Vikes]

Based Mina on the Vikings/Texans pick. Great analysis from Ben as well

[@FadedWill_97]

The Chargers Oline's biggest problem is the interior, Zion Johnson being especially atrocious, they don't have issues at either of the tackle spots though, Slater and Alt have held em down

[@char6364]

Yep. Strange how analysts always seem to completely ignore the interior O-line when discussing a team's pass protection results. Slater and Alt have allowed just *THREE* pressures combined in the opening two games lol.

[@Shawville87]

Actually think Jets pass pro has exceeded expectations, especially given that this is their first time playing as a unit.

[@Stockhandle123]

I mean they were pretty trash in San Francisco then they played Garbage defense since. I'll be very curious how they do against the bills on both sides of the ball.

[@AnthonyJohnson1977]

"Spags loves a 3rd and long." Truer words have never been spoken.

[@chiecheung25]

Bro😂😂

[@razkable]

Blank loves mahomes...also true

[@thehuntgray]

Love discussing each game and score predictions, especially from Mina!!

[@stringer4]

You would think the commanders offense had multiple 3 and outs how they talked about them….they didn’t punt last week. OL penalties killed drives inside 10 last week

[@kchandaman3012]

I do have concerns about Jayden taking hits though. He adapted to passing downfield more after that helmet hit to the ribs, but that looked rough.

[@obtusemooose]

jesus dude they played the giants and didnt score a touchdown

[@stringer4]

@@obtusemooose Yeah, i said the OL had multiple drive ending penalties. I'm comparing what was said in the video to what reality was.

[@obtusemooose]

@@stringer4 sure, and what im saying is that focusing on penalties is giving way too much credit to the other parts of what is not a particularly talented offensive group. they got by on facing a really really bad team.

[@austinwykes316]

I'm confused by their highly critical analysis as well, it almost strips all the positives away, removes the context, then focuses on the remaining quantitative stats. The team put up 400 yards of offense, JD lead a 2 minute drive and put them in scoring position. Daniels has been running a lot but part of that is because he hasn't wanted to throw despite there being opportunities, and 3-4 sacks last week were in him, but do to the RPO game. It's not like he's been getting mauled in the pocket every play. I hope he and the team shows out on Monday.

[@teacherl8330]

Yay! Lenny is back!

[@philibusters23]

Commander fans are excited about the offense. We are 5th in EPA and fourth in first down rate (I think our chances of getting another first down when we have a 1st and 10 is like 83%). The passing game has the training wheels on and we have receivers who probably rank in the 20's, an O-Line that probably ranks in the 20's in terms of pass protection, and a rookie QB and yet we are still averaging 7.7 yards per pass attempt. So as a Commanders fan this year has be very aestically pleasing. On 80% of drives we are getting into scoring position 15 drives, 3 TD's and 7 out of 9 fg's. The training wheel offense may stop working and we may have to adjust but Please Don't Change anything while it is still working. Its been a fun season for the Commanders so far.

[@gabdex83]

Love Solak. High energy nerd football!! Gimme more!

[@skoden3000]

Go AZ CARDINALS!! Stoodis! 👍💯🔥🙏😎💪🙌

[@carrbrasil]

Ben and Mina yelling and agreeing with each other how bad the Jags can be on keeping consistency because they find new ways to be bad is everything to me

[@tudybenavidez6465]

I love Mina !! Go Seahawks !!

[@mgerloff1228]

Commanders are clearly easing Daniels in and not trying to play hero ball like Caleb williams. Crazy how down yall are on that approach it makes a ton of sense. Analytics are saying he's playing fantastic so far. If there weren't so many false starts in the red zone last week you'd be sounding a lot different.

[@Adrian-ey1bv]

Ben is back! let's go!!

[@shrenowilliams3617]

I love that ponytail!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@JadaKilla]

Only like 4-5 mins on Seattle?! Mina don’t turn on us! Was hoping for another 10-15

[@Yoshi_206]

I'm sure it'll be a much bigger segment next week!

[@Sportnut29]

Notification squad 😊😊 skol 2-0

[@ryano952]

[@OvSpP]

Early gang, but I just know you picked my team to win!

[@OvSpP]

And of course you pick against us immediately 🫠 revenge for the Super Bowl huh? Damnit!

[@ZanyZoboomafoo]

Wow up just in time!

[@ethanlazuk]

Love MK’s takes. Great to see smart women breaking down football.

[@johnoneal3609]

Love Ben, and he has generally done a good job over the past couple of years slowing down the rapid fire delivery, but it got away from him here from the get-go. Maybe lay off the caffeine Ben.

[@Iamgregordeee]

appreciate you & your insight as always, Mina

[@honnsolo1069]

Chiefs run defense is the weakness? Derrick Henry 40 yards Zack Moss 20 yards???

[@JeffreyFate]

Love the arm ink Mina - nice choice

[@faceofbearr]

disagree

[@robe2504]

The Panthers D played pretty well against the Chargers, even though that might not have shown up so much on the scoreboard. Give Dalton a week or two and I think they'll be playing a bit better than a few teams.

[@told2stop]

Please keep picking against the Vikings...

[@SnackMuay]

I think Solak makes good points about the speed on HOU’s receivers vs MIN’s secondary. HOU definitely feels like the “safer” pick. MIN probably needs a few more weeks to prove they can sustain their SUPER high level of play through 2 weeks.

[@matthewwhite4505]

@@SnackMuayhis take on Sam throwing pick worthy plays against San Francisco are just flat out not true.

[@SnackMuay]

@@matthewwhite4505 agreed there.

[@dominicswing5160]

​@@SnackMuaymy argument against Houston being the safer pick is the Vikings are 5-0 against them

[@obtusemooose]

yeah dude im sure its a personal slight against the vikings that they are picking against them

[@AndyRoo3121]

Bears fan here, o-line has been issue since mitch trubisky. run ball, play action, move pocket. we say this phrase every year too. but ya best place for rookie QB cuz look at all the receivers!!! maybe the Steelers can fix Caleb in a few years

[@chrp152]

😂 na man no more Bears qbs on our side. Hopefully Fields is the last one.

[@ajt2329]

the Bears center was thrown into Caleb's lap so many times week 1, didn't get to watch their game week 2

[@truthbearer7891]

I love how Mina casually admits she's not really Pro Justin Fields, she's just Anti Russell Wilson as a starter. This is obviously the position of most people in the media for various reasons, and I just wish most would just admit it. It lends more credibility than just trying to glaze those Kenny Pickett esque led production from the Steelers the first 2 games. Fortunantely for the ANti-Russ crowd the type of injury he has is one that generally lingers and being an older player doesn't help. SO they may win by default.

[@gabdex83]

Shane Gillis reference was hilarious 😂🤣

[@gopher4life1]

Sam the “gambler” will feast on Texans aggression…interior oline need to hold up though. Looking forward to Sam’s 1st 300+ yd game with the Vikes!

[@ThaTrail]

Run the football We got her, bois

[@Jviotr]

I watched the Falcons for years get into the red zone and then fail to score a TD because they couldn’t run the ball.. it can be very hard to throw a TD pass from the 5 yard line against a good defense..

[@MONEYMLV]

If you press Jefferson, Jefferson’s going for 200 yards and 3 TD’s

[@dhaas4698]

I'd like to point out that while the Charger tackles are top-rated, defenses do not stop looking for a way in, so that center is bottom-rated. JOE/ALT/DLT against Max Crosby and Christian Wilkins in week 1 allowed 1 pressure....not sack...pressure. And zero in week 2 against Clowney. And yeah, there were two chunk runs for Dobbins (you know, that RB everyone said was washed?). but he also had plenty of 3 - 10-yard gains too. Everybody said "The Chargers will not be competitive this year, how could they without Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, and Austin Ekeler?" Well, it appears they are doing just fine without em so far. Yeah, the Panthers are the weakest team in the league but these Chargers traveled to the east coast to defeat them and at no point was it even a contested game. And yeah, they beat the Minshew Raiders, but they also did that holding Devonte Adams and Brock Bowers down. And that same team defeated who this weekend? Oh yeah, that's right, everyone's darling to beat the Chefs....the Ravens. How many former Harbaugh players have you interviewed think they won't be in the playoffs if not the AFC Championship? So yeah, keep rolling your eyes at the Chargers. These two teams are similar in style but I like the Chargers Justin better than the Steelers Justin. One more thing....how bout that QJ reclamation project huh? Keep hatin on em, you may just be their lucky charm.

[@AB-sm4sf]

You're right. The interior O line play has been atrocious. Zion has been a bust. QJ is still TBD. It's finally good to see them use QJ with what he is comfortable with. Wish he be more dynamic of a receiver. So nice to see a coaching staff play to the strengths of a team vs Staley Metrics

[@demarcusbarnard3308]

Everyone keeps saying about the colts defense. Like they only gave up a ton of yards in first half against green bay. But didnt give up much in 2nd. Only gave up 16. and as bad as richardson supposedly was. I counted 7 drops that hit receivers in the hands. So not all on him.

[@ericparker163]

Were those missiles bouncing off their hands? Having touch is a part of playing QB.

[@demarcusbarnard3308]

@ericparker163 I understand that but no go watch the game again. The one to Mitchell comes to mind. Perfect pass with touch hit him the numbers on 3rd down he just dropped it.

[@TastyisTaken]

I know PFF isn’t the end all be all of stats, but the Jets having the 8th lowest sack % doesn’t seem to indicate their line is struggling? Maybe the percentage stat is a little misleading but putting them in the same box as Chicago is puzzling Edit: 8th not 6th

[@robe2504]

Yip the Jets and Eagles pass rushes are really struggling right now.

[@kcsne]

Mina can crack Nick Wright's Head without breaking a sweat

[@roblheureux1306]

Waiting for the Commanders was worth it because it validated how frustrating it is to watch these games. I appreciate not trying to make the case for this team and switching to what you would need to see. Let Terry be scary.

[@eaglesclaw17]

Remember laughing at the Eagles

[@supersaiyanfife]

Is coming in for Tua ever really "Short" notice? Feel like it may have been on the staffs mind.

[@MrTwolveFan]

I don't get the point that Darnold has been trying to throw INTs. I don't really think he's been unsafe with the ball really at all, the INT this past Sunday was dumb but that has basically been it. Really haven't seen a bunch of near misses like Solak is referring to

[@robe2504]

100%, Right now Sam is throwing it better than CJ, running it better than CJ, and not taking as many sacks as CJ, against better defences. Just saying.

[@darkwulf2k]

Teams kept building defense for the pass, to the point they are not set up to stop the run, esp the bigger backs. was just a matter of time. Denver's defense been keeping them in games, but being on the field 40 mins takes it's toll. If that offense in Den can get goin. things will get better. If the Steelers reduce the penalties, Fields has a lot more passing yards. vs Denver Fields woulda had near 200 yrds passing as at least 50-70 yrds was erased by penalties.

[@captain_pennsylvania]

Can the Bills defense hold up vs the Jags? They just destroyed one of the best offenses in the league...what else do they need to do? 😅

[@tonymalczon2060]

Appreciate your knowledge Mina. Love you❤

[@ItsAlwaysColby]

Wait, I watch First Things First, and definitely laughed at the Mina Kimes "shoutout", but I stay away from Twitter generally...what was the callback?!

[@Beragon]

What does "designery" mean? It was odd that Baker was discussed as if he is a mere cog in Liam's offense whose main beneficiary is Godwin. Baker overcame 5 sacks to will his team to victory against the NFL darling Lions, and he is barely mentioned.

[@bw4708]

I think it’s fair to say Brian Flores won “some battles” 😂

[@kalluey]

ok but did you see garret wilson respond to the tweet about a guy whose dog died, and was looking at a wilson Jersey? It’s like promising a kid in the hospital to hit a homer

[@markkostecki4558]

Ben yelling is best Ben lmao

[@robe2504]

KOC schemed Cousins open for 2 seasons too, and if you watched the Vikes in Pre-season, KOC also schemed wide open windows for Jaren Hall, McCarthy and Mullens. Just for the record per Pro Football Reference Darnold's throws on target 83% and bad throws is 10%, versus Stroud at 80% and 15% respectively - perception vs reality. Darnold's throws on target 2020 - 72%, 2021 - 74.5%, 2022 - 77.1%. Kirk Cousins in 2022 when he went 13-4 with KOC - 76.5%. Be careful of locking yourself into your opinion of Darnold from 2019... The Texans O Line is pretty shaky - CJ may not get 2 seconds...

[@gabdex83]

On the show occasionally

[@Ajo7771]

Will Levis needs the whole season. Isn't the whole narrative around Bryce that his situation has sucked? How is Levis' situation that much different? Last year Titans had one of the worst OLine/WR core groups same as the panthers. This year, Titans still have a god awful OLine so far but our WRs are better. New HC/OC/ 70% of the roster is different and the media wants to bench him in his 11th start? We would've given up on Josh Allen or Peyton Manning too.. Let the young QBs have a chance to develop

[@jonathanstewart4800]

I’m a lifelong Titans fan. I agree for the most part but the stupid mistakes and throwing into coverage has to stop. People are extremely impatient nowadays. Ultimately I want to win.

[@obtusemooose]

redskins are offensively playing like the steelers without the steelers defense

[@geoffsmith5564]

Saints defence under DA ‘historically’ bad against mobile quarterbacks? Last year, yes, but not prior to that. So, you’ve picked an outlier and repackaged it as a historical trend, probably because you didn’t go further back in time for your analysis. Nonetheless, stopping rushing attack is key given he’s not a great passer, his best weapon is injured and the Saints' secondary is elite.

[@kevinobrien8170]

We love you Mina but can’t understand half of what the little guy says

[@mjmwise]

Doug Peterson has had such an odd coaching career: roller coaster.

[@stephenporter7260]

This guy really said that the Jets pass protection isn’t as good as they hoped it would be. They’re like top 3 in pass protection so far 😂

[@JD_PNW]

Ben Solak lowkey is one of the best analysts in sports

[@eternityhalo]

Ben has one of the worst takes on the Jets I have seen so far this season. He said he thinks "the pass protection is worse than they thought it would be" yet the data says they are scoring out as a top ten line so far and are clearly still getting better. Either he hasn't been paying attention, or he is unable to accurately process what his eyes are seeing.

[@quintenruckman3505]

Kirk is getting a RETARDED amount of love for one drive against prevent defense.. he’s throwing absolute DUCKS! If the RBs can’t win the game for ATL they’ve got no shot. McDuffie will ERASE Mooney, Watson with help over top can hold London in check. The biggest match up will be Reid against Pitts and the RBs. TEs have been eating against KC but Pitts has done absolutely nothing in his career to make you scared…

[@MagikFingers420]

Texans are gonna thumb Minnesota, they win by 17 points.

[@siniister710]

Tbh who watches the jets though? They’re overrated and have a 40 year old qb coming off an Achilles tear and hasn’t thrown for 300 yards in like 2 seasons.

[@StocktonSmurf]

Solid Olines have struggled early in the season throughout NFL history, “good” O lines don’t hit stride till like week 5+

[@teamramrod27]

Titans fan here. Y’all played the worst edge group in the league in week 2. Harold Landry is a good player but we’ve got absolutely nothing other than him. Jets offensive tackles might be good now, but I wouldn’t use that game as any kind of evidence. My boy Joe Tippmann whipping ass though.

[@Neil_810]

It didn’t feel like he knew what he was talking about with the Jets. But, we do gotta prove ourselves and win this game!

[@markmurphy558]

Good, I can't wait to bury Rodgers when my Bills get a chance. We are feasting on QBs. Maybe Saleh should bench Aaron for the Bills just so he will be around the rest of the season.

[@julianmartinez8954]

You don't think the bears defense is "very good." You had them outside of your top ten. So you think they are average-slightly above average at best.

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

They are middle of the road. Thats not saying much.

[@JaredBruski]

You can have a elite defence and still not be a top 10 team. Gotta score to win. Browns, vikings, steelers from last season show that

Hey guys, you were both worried about Tampa losing D Canales, Baker regression, and picked Tampa to not be in the playoffs. So now, Baker is balling, and yet both of you went nuts for the WRs and L Coen! Why so afraid to give Baker some love? Now it’s Coen getting the credit you were giving Canales during the summer? BTW, Baker is still doing this without a run game, and without a top half Oline. I have a suspicion you’re waiting for a bad game(conformation bias), and hit us with the “this is what you get with Baker Mayfield”…….
