1
00:00:04,559 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: At least is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

3
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: Black and Gold cast in Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 2: Welcome back to our number two of the Drive here

5
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: on the Steelers Audio Network, and it is time met

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: for the Fantasy Football Focus, and it being Tuesday, well,

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 2: we got to take a look at the top waiver

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: wire pickups and I look ahead at this week's schedule

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: because two days from now they'll be playing another football game. Yeah,

10
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 2: and there should be could be a pretty active waiver wire.

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: Should be. Yeah. Yeah, we're into some buys now. Injuries

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 3: and stuff's athleted stuff out there. Yeah. Yeah. At the quarterback.

13
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: Position, real quick, I don't know if I told you,

14
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: but last week my main league with my buddies, my

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: bench had zero points.

16
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: Like that's hard to do. They were all on buy

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 3: or hurt, you know, like they were incapable of scoring points.

18
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 3: The ten players your regular lineup and in our league

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 3: get absolutely uh.

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: At quarterback, Daniel Jones only owned a nine percent of

21
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: leak leagues on Yahoo.

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: I think he's closer to a starter during this time

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 3: than a non rosterable player. He runs, He runs, Yeah, Yeah,

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 3: they've been a fishing throwing the ball to Yeah, justin Herbert.

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: Not sexy at this point, but may have been Jones,

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 3: may have.

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 2: Been cut by some teams on his bye week and

28
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: had been injured.

29
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: And yeah you may have something on buy and need

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: to fill in with them. And you know Maconkey's all right. Yeah,

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 3: not super sexy, No, there is. The volume's not there.

32
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: I would think he's feeling better though after you maybe

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 3: moves a little bit better.

34
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: Now, if you're in a two quarterback league, you're in

35
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: a you're in a super you're in a super flex.

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: Are you picking up Jameis Winston? Now he probably yes, Yes,

37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: that's a weird conversation. Only in super flex league. And

38
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: he's definitely already in it. And those rosters are huge.

39
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: I mean the league I'm in because it's like a

40
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: twenty five roster dynasty league, so all backups are already there.

41
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: But if it's a smaller, normal rostered league that you

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 3: can just happen to start two quarterbacks, he probably is

43
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 3: out there. I just don't know if ownership will allow it. Yeah,

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 3: that's the problem right now. There was a big still

45
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 3: wonder if Big Watson gets hurt. Maybe then you can

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 3: kind it's getting hit enough to get hurt. Yeah, get

47
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 3: sack seven more times on Sunday. ESPN did a big

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 3: piece on him today, Watson. Yeah, and Jeremy Fowler was

49
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: part of that one. And I didn't realize. I knew

50
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: that they woud bump money down the road on him.

51
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: He's eighty three million the next two seasons, big chunk

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 2: on their killing their cat because they moved the money

53
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 2: to next year, like sixty four. Now it's eighty three. Yeah,

54
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 2: I went from sixty four to seventy two. They keep

55
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 2: kicking it right, kicking it down the road. He's gonna

56
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: be good at someone. He's made seventeen starts for the

57
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: Browns now now they're nine and eight nose starts.

58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: Okay, right, but he's been off because he's good. No,

59
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: he's been awful. Like, if we do a quarterback rank list,

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: he's going to be in the bottom three or four.

61
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: He might be thirty two, he might be thirty two.

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 3: I would say, maybe there's you know, there's backups playing

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 3: this week for Miami or whatever, you know that he

64
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 3: maybe is better there. So I was using an anchor

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 3: on the whole team right now, brutal. I was listening

66
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: to Michae Lombardi's podcast on the way here, and he

67
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: compared him to someone just hit the lottery, like I

68
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: don't have to work, not really sure what to do

69
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: with myself. He shows no emotion during games. He just

70
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: gets paid no matter what, Like, he has no incentive

71
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: financially to do anything different. You know, if you just

72
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: look at through his eyes, Should I work super hard

73
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: to redeem my tarnished legacy? Well, it's probably gonna stay

74
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: pretty tarnished, you know. Like I'm getting to check.

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: If they cut if the Browns cut him tomorrow, and

76
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 2: it says nothing to do with our fantasy football talk,

77
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 2: but whatever, Right, but we brought him up.

78
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: Would anybody sign him to any deal right now? I

79
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: don't think it's very different than like Russell Wilson. Yeah,

80
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: not to mention it be a much bigger cap hit

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: for the Browns than Denver. They can't do it. I

82
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: mean he's going to be there next year too. I

83
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: mean they could. I think you could draft one. Well

84
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 3: they could definitely. The drafting high enough that they're gonna

85
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 3: have a shot the draft one. But there's not going

86
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: to be very cheap enough. But back to the fantasy stuff.

87
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 3: I think they'll have to like fake your embellish an

88
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: injury for Winston to be the starter. Yeah.

89
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 2: I don't see that happening, right, because there's no reason

90
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: for him to say, yeah, I'm not hurt, I don't even.

91
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 3: Want to play. Would he mind sitting out? I mean

92
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: not that I feel bad for Stefanski, but he has

93
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: to play him and he has to try to make

94
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 3: him win, and he's terrible.

95
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 2: Up in New England, it's Drake May time. Yeah, they've

96
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: made the switch. You're picking up Drake May.

97
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 3: I don't think so. Their offense is just too many.

98
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: They have no offensive go players yeah, and blocking Yeah,

99
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: and Jabil Pepper's just got arrested. There's all kinds of

100
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: bad stuff happen. Yeah, they're one of the worst teams

101
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: in the league.

102
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: Clearly.

103
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: Running back Tank Bigsby is only owned in twenty three

104
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: percent of leagues.

105
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: Jump, where are these leagues act, say sign me up,

106
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: spend a lot to get him. I mean, I think

107
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: he's going to be the one more or less. I mean,

108
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 3: he's a bigger I think there's a chance he's averaging

109
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,799
Speaker 3: like seven yards of carry Yeah, for the breakaway runs.

110
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: He's gonna be the goal line guy. I don't think

111
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: it's crazy you think ATN might get traded, you know,

112
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 3: I mean their season's gone down the toilet. He's a starter. Yeah,

113
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 3: in fantasy.

114
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: I think Tyrone Tracy Junior also only owned in twenty

115
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 2: three percent of leagues. Now, he was starting to bite

116
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: into Devin Singletary a little bit. Singletary didn't play last

117
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: week and he goes eighteen for one to twenty nine

118
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 2: against Seattle.

119
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 3: I'm highly interested. I mean, I think he should be

120
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: in every league. I don't know if I would immediately

121
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: throw him in my starting lineup this week if I

122
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 3: have decent options. I mean, my best guys are off. Obviously,

123
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 3: you live with it, and I would like to see

124
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: life with Signaltary. But yeah, he's gonna get eighteen carries

125
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: every week. Probably not, but a lot of those rookies,

126
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 3: as the season goes on, get the trust and you

127
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 3: know you didn't count on them to be the starter,

128
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: and running backs become starters halfway through the year.

129
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now he's definitely be in leagues. Roshawan Johnson is

130
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 2: owned in twenty percent of leagues. Were starting to have

131
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 2: some interest in Roshan Johnson. No, I know you're not

132
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: a Swift fan.

133
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 3: I'm not. But he's been playing a lot and doing

134
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: well the last couple of weeks. They're a Swift fan, Yeah,

135
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 3: they're Swifties. But Shawn Johnson those rushed for three touchdowns

136
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 3: in the last time.

137
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 2: I know.

138
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 3: He's the goal line guy though. Yeah. And their offense

139
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: is playing a lot better. Yeah, I mean the quarterback's

140
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: playing better, They're running the ball better. They're not going

141
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 3: to play the Carolina Panthers every week, right, And Swift's

142
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 3: not the most durable guy. I mean, it's kind of

143
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 3: a if you got an empty spot, you know, you're

144
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 3: holding Racie Rice or something like that. I mean, you

145
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 3: could do better than try to get ahead of the

146
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: game before everyone's putting in on him. Yeah, he's not

147
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 3: a bad player.

148
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 2: We talked about Braylen Allen before he should be in leagues.

149
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what's running game is not good.

150
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: Their offense is broken right now.

151
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: It is, and they got fired today. I mean, yeah,

152
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 2: the head coach got whacked.

153
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he wanted to whack the offensive coordinator.

154
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Justice Hill is getting way more playing time than

155
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: I ever thought he would in Baltimore.

156
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: I guess you have to respect that and honor it

157
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: and throw him out there. He would be the guy

158
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 3: I guess.

159
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: If ninety six total yards in a score against Buffalo. Yeah,

160
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 2: he also got was on the field a lot against

161
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 2: the Bengals.

162
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Henry's not in every down back. There's a lot

163
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: of situations he's not out there, and you want to

164
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: spell him at his age. That's all he got, Yeah,

165
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 3: is that little dude Mitchell? Was he coming back? I

166
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: don't think he is. I know it's a bad injury.

167
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 3: Bad it was more than just an Aco.

168
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, ty Chandler looks like they're on a Viking's

169
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: going to buy this week.

170
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: But Aaron Jones is a hip injury that's considered week

171
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 3: to week.

172
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: So if ty Chandler is available for two weeks from now,

173
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: I'd pick him up this week.

174
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and if him if you had Jones anyway,

175
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 3: you probably screwed that up. The thing is, though, when

176
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: Jones got hurt, Chandler got like one hundred percent of

177
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 3: the workload right like, So it wouldn't be that much

178
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: if he were if Jones were out, but he would

179
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: get a big, big abortion would be a valuable value.

180
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: He's a starter. I mean, he's a fantasy starter.

181
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: What do you make of Jeremy McNichols in Washington. We

182
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: mentioned him last week and like, oh, he's going to

183
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 2: go back to the bench. Then Brian Robinson got digged

184
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: up in the game and Echolar got the most touches.

185
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 3: McNichols had like nine carries for sixty yards. Again, I think,

186
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 3: and I'm not certain on this, I kind of think

187
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: he's both their hand cuffs. You know, Robinson's the bigger guy.

188
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 3: Eckler's the third down back. He's not as good as

189
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: either at that, but if he either gets hurt, he

190
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: takes that role, you know what I mean. So he

191
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: should probably be I mean it's a good offense. It's

192
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: a good offense. You could do worse. Yeah, I'm not

193
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: starting him.

194
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: For a while.

195
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 3: No, No. Yeah.

196
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 2: A wide receiver Darnell Mooney only owned in forty eight

197
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: percent of leagues.

198
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 3: He should be in it. He should be in every league. Yeah,

199
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 3: targets a lot. He looks better than ever. Wasn't that

200
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: long ago that he was very fantasy relevant for the Bears.

201
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: A guy we saw on Sunday, Jalen Tolbert only owned

202
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 2: in seven percent of leagues. When we know Cooks is out, Yeah,

203
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: Colbert's gonna be out there. Yeah, in a good passing offense.

204
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: And he's a talented player that There's been a lot

205
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: of good buzz on him every step of the way

206
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: or this year, I mean early. He started his career

207
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: really slow, but in camp there was a lot of buzz.

208
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 3: He'sna be on the field nearly every snap. Dak likes him.

209
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: He's gonna see single coverages. I mean, this isn't a

210
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: unique idea to try to take CD Lamb out of

211
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: the game. No agency, single coverages. He's probably a top

212
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 3: fifty receiver.

213
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, Mooney, I think if you pick him up,

214
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: you may want to start him and say he's a

215
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: receiver three. Yeah Tolbert, I have to see it again. Yeah,

216
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: but if you're promising that week or a j Brown

217
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 2: or you know whatever, Josh Downs has done it two

218
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 2: weeks in a row.

219
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 3: But that is very dependent on Flacco. Yeah, he's a

220
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: really good player, and I wouldn't drop him if all

221
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 3: of a sudden Richardson becomes the starter, because he could

222
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 3: get hurt any minute two again again we may see

223
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: Flacco yet again. But it's a it's a shame because

224
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: he saw what Downs is capable really quick. He's really quick.

225
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a really good football player. But I

226
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: would not be starting him with Richardson.

227
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: I would hold him Keon Coleman's are still now only

228
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 2: owned him forty five percent of league's.

229
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: I get it. He still seems like he's learning. There's

230
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 3: some hit and missing. Yeah, they don't have great man

231
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 3: coverage beaters at the moment. I think there's a chance

232
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: DeVante Adams ends up there or some receiver, but I

233
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 3: wouldn't mind holding them to see how it goes. Not much.

234
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 3: It's tight end position.

235
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 2: Not surprising that, but Tyler Conklin's still less than fifty

236
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 2: percent owned. He's gotten six targets in each of the

237
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: last three JET games.

238
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,439
Speaker 3: It's not horrible, you know, like I was in such

239
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 3: bad shape. I picked up Parkinson in one of my leagues,

240
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: and he's like that level. You know, Hunter, Henry, you

241
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 3: know some of these guys that I mean, you're getting

242
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 3: six targets. It's tight ambition. You could do worse. It's

243
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: not that bad, right, Yeah, Adams could end up there too.

244
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 2: Moving on here to the matchups for the week. The

245
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 2: Thursday night game is San Francisco at Seattle.

246
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say no on Seattle. I love you. I

247
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: don't love either. I don't know either. Seattle did not

248
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 3: play well defensively against the Gause. Fred Warner played this

249
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 3: week on a short week, and I would bet not. Yeah,

250
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: I don't think I'm cutting them. I mean they're in

251
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 3: most leagues. Yeah, I don't think I'm cutting them to

252
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 3: pick up some streamer. But I don't know high expectations.

253
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 3: Where's that game at in Seattle? Yeah, I don't like

254
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 3: road Thursday night anything. Yeah.

255
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: Jacksonville is at Chicago. That's a nine to thirty game

256
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: in London.

257
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: Baby Bear's appealing. It's not great, but it's appealing. Yeah,

258
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 3: I would not be Jags. Colts was no defense last.

259
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 2: Week, none, none played whatsoever. Arizona is at Green Bay

260
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: one o'clock game.

261
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 3: I don't love either. I don't love that. Indianapolis is

262
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 3: at Tennessee Titans. It's not awesome. I would like to

263
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 3: know is a Flacco Richardson? Yeah, that would be meaningful

264
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: to know.

265
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: There.

266
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: We'll see. But Colt Stee's really bad, really bad. Titans

267
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 3: are not a bad matchup, but cold Ste's really bad.

268
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: Would you start the Colts defense? So it's gonna be

269
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 3: That's what I say. You're thinking, it's like they probably

270
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 3: aren't gonna let up thirty. I mean, they probably won't

271
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: hurt you. It'll be one of those ones you start

272
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: and you get a zero. They can get a defensive touchdown.

273
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Leis Levis likes to do that. Yeah, here here's

274
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: to take the six for you know, here's like starting

275
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: to d against the Titans. Yeah, maybe maybe twelve. Houston

276
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: is at New England. The Texans are the slam dunk

277
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: of the week.

278
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: They're probably gonna be one. Yeah, rookie quarterback probably too.

279
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: This one's could be interesting as well. Tampa Bay at

280
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: New Orleans. Now I will say this because of the

281
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: hurricane situation right now, Tampa Bay is in New Orleans. Now, oh,

282
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 2: I didn't know that they had to they had to leave,

283
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 2: but you can who's the backups name?

284
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: And I can't remember for what team for New Orleans

285
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: played last night? Oh h O E R N E R.

286
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 3: I always say say it wrong. It's not Horner, it's Horner. Yeah,

287
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 3: I thought he looked like high school Jake Kerner.

288
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, yeah, you're gonna I'll play that defense you're

289
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: gonna get You're.

290
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 3: Gonna be that the tob Bowlls defense.

291
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 2: It Blitzer is like crazy against a guy who's a

292
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: second year quarterback.

293
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 3: You know.

294
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, what about Saints d No, No, not with Jake

295
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 2: Corner quarterback.

296
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: No. No, Cleveland is at Philadelphia. The Browns d droppable. Yes,

297
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: like I drafted him in my other league. It's hung

298
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: with them because it wasn't any streamers I loved that

299
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: were happening to be available. DeVante Smith and A J.

300
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: Brown are back this week. The Eagles are coming off

301
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 3: of buy and they're always on the field, And you've

302
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: got to start the Eagles defense against the Browns. Oh yeah,

303
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 3: that's a much better sort than the Browns. D Oh

304
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 3: my god. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think Browns are in

305
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 3: the top twelve anymore, like we were just drafting right now.

306
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 3: I don't think they're in the top twelve anymore.

307
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 2: Washington is at Baltimore. M Baltimore's defense can't stop the

308
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: passing game.

309
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 3: No, I'm still not on board with Washington. No, I'm

310
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 3: not either. I'm not starting either one of those I

311
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 3: think I said no, Yeah, there are two of them.

312
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: Like highest scoring teams in the league.

313
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: Right, you get the number one offense against the team

314
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: that just throws the ball.

315
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 3: Over the yard. But I bet they run all over

316
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 3: Washington too.

317
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 2: The Chargers are at Denver, Yes, and yes, here's the

318
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: problem with starting the Denver defense. Their production in the

319
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: last few weeks has been largely on their pass rush.

320
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, are you.

321
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: Going to be able to rush the passer against the Chargers.

322
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: Nice to see the Chargers putting on a lot of points,

323
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: two good tackles. Yeah, yeah, it should be healthy. It

324
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: should be healthy again. And the Chargers just want to

325
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 2: run the football.

326
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: I might prefer the Chargers defense, although I think Denver's

327
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 3: is better. Yeah, that's where I was kind of going

328
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 3: with rush coming off by.

329
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: They've had two weeks to prepare for this, so they're

330
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: watching all this Bonick tape going on. We just got

331
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: to sit at the line of scrimmage.

332
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: They actually average the fewest points allowed in the league. Chargers, Yeah,

333
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 3: you know, a little bit smoking mirrors, but they've had

334
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: to buy but Steelers at the Raiders. Yes, on Steelers,

335
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: I mean they don't know who the quarterback is, and

336
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: I know the Steelers have some injuries. But yes, can't

337
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: start the Raiders defense. I don't think it's starving onto anybody. Yeah,

338
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: start against the Browns. I think I did a couple

339
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: of weeks ago. Actually they played them a couple and

340
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: they did okay.

341
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: But it's better than like everybody does okay against the

342
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: Browns defense.

343
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 3: One thing I will say about the Raiders d though,

344
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: like when you start breaking it down by player or

345
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: position group, there's not much you get excited about. But

346
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 3: the unit is better than some of the parts or

347
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 3: what ye that is? You know, Detroit is that Dallas.

348
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 3: No on Dallas. I might start the Detroit defense. It's

349
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 3: not bad. Yeah, they'll rush the passer fresh, they're gonna

350
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: run the football and kind of control the game. Yeah,

351
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: they're probably in the top twelve. It's a good defense. Yeah.

352
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 3: Atlanta is at Carolina. Never Carolina in Atlanta's rolling. Can

353
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 3: you start the Atlanta D. That's what I'm thinking. That's

354
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 3: why I said the other one first, because my brain

355
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 3: was really thinking about something else that went over. It's

356
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: probably borderline. Cincinnati at New York Jets are Giants Giants.

357
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: No on Cincy, No on New York. Noah, I bet

358
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 2: Borrow gets hit a few times. That's the Sunday night game.

359
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah uh, and then lose that game. Oh yeah, the

360
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 3: Monday night game Buffalo at the Jets. I had a

361
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: prediction today, DeVante Adams is going to play in that game.

362
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 3: I don't know for who. I have just my hunch.

363
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 3: I don't know if he plays in a Monday night game.

364
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 3: I think he ends up in one of those two teams.

365
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 3: That's fine. I just don't know that.

366
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: You know, he hasn't it's Tuesday, he hasn't been traded

367
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 2: like today, and he's on the West Coast Ish Jets.

368
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 3: D I'm playing. I didn't think it's really good, and

369
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 3: I'm up blown away by Buffalo's offense at all. I

370
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 3: don't love either. Well, Bills are probably not in my time.

371
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: Bill's pass rush against New York's offensive lines. Yeah, Jets

372
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 3: don't run the ball well and Rogers will get hit

373
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 3: and they're just dysfunctional right now too. Rogers through three

374
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 3: picks last week. I wouldn't cut the Bills if you've

375
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: been rolling when they're coming.

376
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 2: Let's remember they just fired the coach. Robert solid gone.

377
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: They just got back from London. Ohya, they don't have

378
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 2: a buye after no buye.

379
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 3: After a London game.

380
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: So you get some tired legs like you get the

381
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: you get the old man, the extra day of rest

382
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: to you know, yeah with the Monday night game. But

383
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 2: is it really rest enough to convince me you spent

384
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 2: a day in the air, you know, coming back from

385
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: London and you're firing your coach.

386
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 3: And you fired your coach. Yeah, it's a big deal.

387
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 3: I don't think you get that that boost of the coach.

388
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 2: I think there's a little bit of disarray there right now.

389
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: And absolutely, yeah I'm Adams. Okay, if I'm Adams, I

390
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: don't want to go anywhere near that that toxic franchise.

391
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: No, even if Rogers my buddy, he's not gonna be

392
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: there next year anyway. Right, I don't understand, Aaron. I'm

393
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 3: gonna come here for eleven games and you're gonna be

394
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,239
Speaker 3: gone and we're not gonna win anything. And we got

395
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 3: back up with new coach, and right, yeah, that's not

396
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 3: appealing to me.

397
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: I'm not ready to retire and go live in a

398
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 2: cave with you. Are you starting to JETSD then for

399
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: that reason, No, nope, I don't like the Jets.

400
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 3: There's some other there's some other matchups here that I

401
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 3: like much better. I wouldn't cut the Jets D.

402
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 2: And let's say, okay, so you're starting the Chargers. Are

403
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: you starting the Jets Chargers? Okay, you're starting Denver, You're starting.

404
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 3: To Jets, like that game might be erased. Okay, how

405
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 3: about Atlanta or the Jets? Jets? Atlanta plays Carolina, no Jets.

406
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 2: How about Philadelphia or the Jets Philly again, Cleveland? Are

407
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: you starting Tampa Bay against New Orleans or the Jets?

408
00:19:54,160 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: Jets? There's been no word it on car I mean

409
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: they had two hundred yards of offense last night. Yeah.

410
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: If it's her here, I don't know why I can't

411
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 3: say his name.

412
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: It's not. It's like the sweetish chef on the Muppets, right,

413
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 2: if he plays in you definitely want the bus.

414
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 3: He's really bad too. Colts against the Titans or the

415
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 3: Jets Jets. Oh, I don't know. I think Jets got guys.

416
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: That's fine, those offenses that right, Yeah, But I don't

417
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 3: I don't love the jet lag thing in the whole week,

418
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 3: you know, that you're definitely starting Houston. Houston might be one,

419
00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: maybe number one if they're not. Philly might be. But yeah,

420
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: but if Houston's like fourth in DFS, I would consider

421
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 3: paying up. We don't usually spend much on defenses, but

422
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: i'd consider that. Yeah, they might be number one, though

423
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 3: they should be.

424
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: They're not at home. But yeah, it's a good match. Yeah,

425
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: I don't. I'm gonna guess. I'll bet you Houston's got

426
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 2: the either. But they're the most expensive this week. I

427
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: think they should be buzzing through them. Yeah, but if

428
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 2: they're not, i'd consider it. Yeah. Anyways, that's the Fantasy

429
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 2: Football Focus. That's a look at this week's slate of games.

430
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: There's a few good ones on there.

431
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's some defenses, so you can pick up or

432
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: roll with. Yeah.

433
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 2: Absolutely, but we're gonna get to a break. He is

434
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 2: the Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lolly. You're listening to

435
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 2: the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network. Up next,

436
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: we got a little power rankings. See what happens in those.

437
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: Right after this.

438
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

439
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and Gold.

Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson and it is Power Ranking

443
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: Day on Tuesday. Here will take a look at Eric

444
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: at Holmes Power Rankings.

445
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: I don't envy Eric at one. That's what he eat.

446
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 3: It's a tough one.

447
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, throw him in at you can kind of just

448
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: throw them into a box in their bag and say, okay, yeah,

449
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 2: that'll put them there.

450
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: The bottom be fine, yeah, bottom goodding is easy. Thirty two.

451
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 3: He has the Carolina Panthers. Ooh, I think out of

452
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: the Patriots, that's rough. Yeah, Panthers, they're offense, all right. Yeah,

453
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 3: I think out of the Patriots that.

454
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,959
Speaker 2: Was down one spot, down two spots he has at

455
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: thirty one. The Patriots, okay, so they're not far. I

456
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 2: guess Carolin would be thirty one from him though, now

457
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: I think it's through.

458
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 3: At thirty, down two spots. The Cleveland Browns. Yes, Jags

459
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 3: in Miami were in that neighborhood last week, but they

460
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 3: both won and they did some good things. It wasn't

461
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 3: just fluky easy you know, dumb win you know, I mean,

462
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 3: Browns are terrible. They're the worst offense in the league

463
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 3: by far By far By, far By far Yeah. At

464
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 3: twenty nine, up three spots, Jacksonville. Jacksonville's better than Miami,

465
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: Yeah they are. They might be better than a couple

466
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: of teams.

467
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now that being said, he does have Miami next

468
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: at twenty up two spots.

469
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 3: They are two and three as opposed to the one

470
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: and four of the Jaguars are. I mean they beat

471
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 3: the Patriots last week. Yeah, let's not getting their quarterbacks

472
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 3: are bad.

473
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they belong to twenty eight, like those four

474
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 2: teams are those are the five teams or whatever. I

475
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: don't know who would be next Giants. Maybe they just

476
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 2: won though I know.

477
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: At twenty seven, down four spots, he has the Rams.

478
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Yeah, that's what they're turning into. Yeah,

479
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 2: they're just all beat up. Yeah, and they didn't have

480
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 2: any depth to be in with right right at twenty six,

481
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 2: holding steady because they run by the Tennessee Titans.

482
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 3: Fair, no problem, there's still.

483
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 2: One in three At twenty five, down a spot, the

484
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 2: Raiders maybe lower.

485
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: They don't they don't have a quarterback.

486
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: They beat Cleveland, who's our other win against, don't even know, Baltimore, Baltimore.

487
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 3: That's right. Baltimore and Cleveland.

488
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: Steelers got to try to avoid that this week. Do

489
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 2: not let the ray say they are the AFC North chance.

490
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 3: Maybe that's all they do all year and four wins,

491
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 3: four and thirteen against them. Let that be let that.

492
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 2: Let the Raiders be the team that everybody can point

493
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 2: to at the end of the season to say, you know,

494
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 2: Baltimore didn't win a division because they lost to the Raiders,

495
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: because that's what Steeler fans you know, Oh, they didn't

496
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: win a division because you lost that game to the Cardinals,

497
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 2: you lost that game to the Patriots.

498
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 3: Let the Raiders be that for the I bet Mike

499
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: Tomlin is letting his team know that this team beat

500
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 3: that might come up yeah once or twice, yeah yeah,

501
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 3: now there. They might even be lower. Like I don't

502
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 3: know if they beat the Jags.

503
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: Right now, Oh twenty four down three spots the Cincinnati Bengals.

504
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 2: The record's terrible. Burrow's so a little.

505
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: Low for me.

506
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,160
Speaker 2: Burrow's on pace for a forty five hundred yard forty touchdown,

507
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: seven interception season, and they're one and four with three

508
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 2: of the losses at home. That's the top five to

509
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: seven offense and a bottom five to seven defense.

510
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 3: Maybe it might be bottom three defense.

511
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I still haven't ahead of like the Giants though, oh.

512
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 3: Boy, yeah probably, but yeah, yeah they're not. I mean

513
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 3: they don't win games. That's kind of important.

514
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, kind of the whole fact of the matter.

515
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 2: At twenty three up four spots are the Giants. Okay,

516
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 2: he always overreached the Giants. Yeah, I guess you're right,

517
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 2: but don't we've talked about that before. At twenty two

518
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 2: up three spots, the Arizona Cardinals. Okay, I can't believe

519
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: I would have both New York teams down in these

520
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: twenties here.

521
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 3: Out of the Bengals, ahead of the Giants and the

522
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 3: Jets and the Cardinals. Yeah. At twenty one down five spots,

523
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: the Colts, that's probably about right.

524
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: At twenty down five spots are the Jets who just

525
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 2: fired head coach Robert Salad today. And I saw some

526
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: stuff out there later in the day here sala was

527
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: considering firing the Thingnual Hackett, the offensive coordinator. Of course,

528
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 2: as a friend of Rogers, you can't do that.

529
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 3: He deserves to be fired, though I don't. I don't, don't.

530
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 3: It doesn't it's inconsequential, but you waited five games into

531
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 3: the season to do it. And I did you expect

532
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: to beat the Vikings in London? I didn't. No, I

533
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: didn't at all. They're a mess. I mean because they're fired.

534
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: You just talked about their defense, the defense and the problem.

535
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 2: Robert Soli is a defensive head coach. Your offense has

536
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 2: been the problem. Your quarterback just went out and through

537
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: three interceptions in that game. You can't run the football

538
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: with no you know, one of the most talented running

539
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: backs in the league. After you spent money on your

540
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 2: offensive line. The offense is the issue. And you fire

541
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: your defensive minded head coach and then elevate his defensive

542
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: coordinator to the head coach position.

543
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 3: Who's coordinating the defense? That's as I say, like, there's

544
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 3: so many things.

545
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 2: That are bad about this.

546
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: First off, I don't think you're oranization is very strong

547
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 3: from ownership down. And you know, the only things that

548
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 3: that are fixtures of the organization right now are the

549
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 3: owner and Rogers.

550
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 2: I mean that's all that matters to me. I like,

551
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: the GM should be worried.

552
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 3: And you're ranting Rogers, what's that? And you're running right

553
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 3: right and he'll leave at any time and he has

554
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 3: no ties to you, and he'll go host Jeopardy or

555
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: live in a cave or eat mushrooms or whatever he

556
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 3: wants to do, you know, and live his life. You know,

557
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: so what, but you made this commitment. It's not the

558
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson level.

559
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: But you pushed all your chips in on this guy

560
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 2: and went out and got all his dudes and Tyron

561
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 2: Smith and all these old dudes that you knew were

562
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: fragile to begin with to win it this year. And

563
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 2: you're not going to win it early October and you

564
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: already fired your coach and the guy you're promoting just

565
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 2: started calling defensive plays like a year or two ago,

566
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: and now he's going to be the defensive play caller

567
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: and have to do timeouts and all the head coach stuff,

568
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: which is not going to work.

569
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, what's wrong with that? And meanwhile, the biggest

570
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 3: problem is the offensive coordinator, who's right Rogers boy and

571
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 3: isn't going anywhere, who's gonna.

572
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 2: Himself got fired halfway through a season in Denver because

573
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 2: he was so dysfunctional, like he's not now he's going

574
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 2: to be running.

575
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: The entire Well, I got to handle this stuff. You

576
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 3: handle that, you think Olbrick's going to be on top

577
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 3: of him at all. I mean, the offense is totally

578
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: his and I have not broke down their their x's

579
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 3: and o's to the nth degree. But everyone that has

580
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,919
Speaker 3: kind of laughs at their offense because I heard people

581
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 3: saying it's like Microsoft one point zero. You know, it

582
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 3: is the West Coast offense from nineteen eighty five that

583
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 3: Bill Walsh invented. And they've not switched protections. They have

584
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 3: not adapted. You know, they're running old songs. Everybody knows

585
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 3: how to defend that that. Everyone knows how to blitz it.

586
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 3: Everyone knows your protections, you know, like they check to

587
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: this and here comes a slant, you know, and that's

588
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 3: what Rogers is comfortable with. But he's old too. Right

589
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 3: in time change, they're a mess at night. They might

590
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: just keep going lower. Yeah, I mean, maybe they're fine

591
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 3: and get back to power rights. Maybe they're fine now,

592
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 3: but they're going backwards.

593
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 2: I think they're going to lose to the Bills this week,

594
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: and I think they're probably gonna lose to the Steelers

595
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 2: next week.

596
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: I could see them losing bad. A couple teams yeah,

597
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 3: you know, like the Raiders hired Pierce and they got

598
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 3: it bigdong. The witch was dead, the guy who went

599
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 3: to one to the other building was gone and there

600
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: was That's not the case here, Yeah, I don't. I

601
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 3: don't think it was anyways. Yeah, at nineteen down the spot,

602
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 3: are the Chargers fine? Healthy or health will help them

603
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 3: a little bit the bye week.

604
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: At eighteen down six spots the San Francisco forty nine Ers.

605
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 3: That's too harsh.

606
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 2: That's kind of the way they're playing though. They're finding

607
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: ways to lose eighteen. Yeah, they're playing like the eighteenth

608
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: best team in the league right now.

609
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,479
Speaker 3: Those they didn't have a kicker, you know, and like,

610
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: but you blew a twenty three to ten lead at home.

611
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: It's not like them at all. I still think that's harsh. Yeah.

612
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: Uh, they're oh to two and oh and three in

613
00:29:58,800 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: the division and conference.

614
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 3: Oh no, there's some Tiber's stuff. That stuff is not

615
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 3: going the way. Yeah, right, it's going to be better

616
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: win the division.

617
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: At seventeen up five spots, Well, I would agree that

618
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers are better than this team, the

619
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears, clearly.

620
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bears are doing better things Williams are doing better things,

621
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 3: but they're not as good as Niners.

622
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 2: At sixteen down two spots the Saints.

623
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: That's fine, but I would have the Niners ahead of

624
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 3: them too. They didn't exactly blow my doors off last night.

625
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: At fifteen down four spots Seattle. Yeah. Protect the old

626
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: line's becoming an issue. Yeah, you know, the protection is

627
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 3: not great. Some defensive injuries.

628
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 2: They played a forty nine ers on Thursday night, so

629
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: we'll can just yet. I saw something on the forty Niners.

630
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 2: The forty nine ers allowing like thirteen point two yards

631
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: per catch to the slot this season.

632
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 3: Wow, the worst in the NFL.

633
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 2: Wow.

634
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 3: Teams are just attacking them in the slots. Smith and

635
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: Big Smith and Jigba. Yeah, we do it. The captain share.

636
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 3: There you go. At fourteen up six spots Denver, that's two.

637
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 3: I mean, the defense is good, they've won three in

638
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 3: a row. I respect that they're running the ball.

639
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 2: Okay, they still threw from minus seven yards to which

640
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: in the first lot of good offense, they're I mean,

641
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: come on, they're not better than the Niners.

642
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. At thirteen up four spots Dallas, they're probably better

643
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 3: than everybody mentioned. Maybe San Francisco aside. You know, I

644
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 3: just think you missed on that one. But they're better

645
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 3: than these last few teams.

646
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: At twelve up, seven spots, Atlanta, I think i'd have

647
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: Atlanta over the Steelers right now. I'd have Atlanta over

648
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 2: everybody mentioned Right now. They're doing some good stuff except

649
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: getting Jean Robinson the football. No, they're not doing that.

650
00:31:54,120 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, at eleven up two spots the Eagles, I'm

651
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 2: fine with it.

652
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 3: I mean, especially if you if Smith and Brown or

653
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 3: back and Lane just beat Eagles.

654
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 2: But didn't Atlanta just beat the Eagles ago and someone's

655
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: out there going didn't Dallas just beat the Steelers?

656
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 3: Yeah? But this was you know, they're right next to

657
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 3: each other. Hm. It is different when they're right next

658
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: to each other.

659
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: And Atlanta's Atlanta's on a little bit of a heater

660
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: right now and just beat the Eagles going into the

661
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: by uh at ten holding steady the Steelers, So he

662
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: didn't he didn't ding them too badly.

663
00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 3: Here's the thing.

664
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 2: The two losses have both been by three points. Yeah, yeah,

665
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: so you're not getting blown out and even when you lose,

666
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 2: which again that wasn't always the case last year. Yeah, yeah,

667
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: when they lost a lot of times. They lost big.

668
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they had a negative point differential, right, you know

669
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: what I mean despite having a winning record, you know,

670
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 3: because they lost bad. Yeah, Niners blew them out, you know.

671
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: Right, So those those kind of games haven't happened. That

672
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 2: the game Sun, they could have turned into that you

673
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 2: double a team up in yardage. Yeah, yeah, that's usually

674
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: what it is. Oh, you lost thirty to twelve. You

675
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: know that didn't happen.

676
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 3: Just because you and I thought picked the Steelers and

677
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 3: thought they'd win those two games, doesn't mean that they

678
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 3: were hideous losses, you know, for like these kind of purposes,

679
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

680
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: At nine down a spot, Tampa Bay, would they be

681
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 2: number one in that division?

682
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 3: For you? I kind of like Atlanta better.

683
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: Atlanta won at home and it went to overtime, and

684
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 2: it was probably a little bit.

685
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 3: Of a gift there. Yeah, they're close. Atlanta still won

686
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 3: the game, right, they're close.

687
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 2: What quarterback I prefer probably cousins. It ate up one spot,

688
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 2: Green Bay.

689
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 3: I'm there with them. I think they're back and weather

690
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 3: the storm of being out with love and I could

691
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 3: have won a lot.

692
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 2: Work actually did better than whether the storm yeah, it

693
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: went to and oh went to and that's pretty remarkable.

694
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 3: At seven down, three spots as Buffalo, I'm little worried.

695
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 3: I didn't like what we saw this past week. I

696
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 3: thought the defense got exposed and lack of playmaker showed up.

697
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: That was a tough two weeks for them.

698
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: It was you go to Baltimore and two Houston and

699
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 2: back to back weeks.

700
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 3: Yes, that's harsh. Yeah, So Allan left that game to

701
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 3: get evaluated for concussion. Came back but looked concussed, you know,

702
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 3: like he was kind of a mess. Well, he was

703
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 3: going to stay in the game. I think he hurt

704
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: the shoulder more than anything. Okay, his head slammed off

705
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 3: the turf. I think it was his right shoulder, right

706
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 3: or left shoulder. After he left for to get examined,

707
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: I didn't think they forced me.

708
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 2: He was ready to stay in the game and and

709
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: was kind of more I think the shoulder injury than anything,

710
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 2: because he got drown into the ground on his shoulder,

711
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: but he didn't didn't finish strong. No, and they go

712
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 2: as he goes at six up, one spot Washington.

713
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 3: They're fun. I mean, I'm not going to give Eric

714
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 3: at home a hard time for having him that high.

715
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 3: I mean, they're winning a lot of games and they're

716
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 3: impressive doing so we'll see, I guess, yeah, we'll see.

717
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you know, let's take a look at

718
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 2: who the wins have been against.

719
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 3: I think there's a good chance to end up third

720
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 3: in their division. Blowing out the Browns is not the

721
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 3: right you know, beating Arizona. They've played some pretty easy,

722
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 3: easy defenses too.

723
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,839
Speaker 2: But yeah, like four or five or bad. Yeah, at

724
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 2: five up one spot Baltimore.

725
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 3: I'd have them higher. They'd be in contention for one

726
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 3: for me. At four up a spot, Houston playing well,

727
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 3: I like, I like having them that high. Three holding

728
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 3: steady is Detroit, yep. I'd have a hard time ranking

729
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 3: those three. Two holding steady is Kansas City, which means

730
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: one is Minnesota. I can see. I can't put Baltimore

731
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 3: ahead of any of those four teens.

732
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they don't have the they don't have

733
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 2: the bad loss that Baltimore does well.

734
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 3: Like, I don't deep down think the Vikings are better

735
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,960
Speaker 3: than any of those four teams or any of the

736
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 3: teams in the top five, but kind of like Washington,

737
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 3: you can't put them at twelve.

738
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, and they're off this week, so maybe Kansas

739
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: City if they win again this week, bumps ahead of them.

740
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, is what it is. I'd probably have k C.

741
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 3: One defense is strong. Kes have had the Vikings. Mikings

742
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: have had the best year. I mean nobody expected this

743
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 3: from the Vikings. No, and that doesn't matter, but I

744
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 3: think they've had the best year of any team.

745
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 2: Honestly, Sam Darnold has played better than Patrick Mahomes in

746
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: the Grands.

747
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. If you know the names on the back

748
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: of the jersey who had the better year, it's Donald

749
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah right, yeah, I think that's fair, you know, so

750
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 3: give them respect. I mean that's fine, and I think

751
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 3: that's clear. Who was six six was Washington? Okay. I

752
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 3: think there's a top five, I guess.

753
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 2: And then then you know, after that, then the next

754
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 2: eight or so teams are kind of in the same Yeah. Yeah,

755
00:36:57,800 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 2: I think I would put five teams in Tier one

756
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 2: and then I don't know if the Ravens are there yet.

757
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 2: For me, I think they're good.

758
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 3: They think.

759
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 2: I've watched them now play a couple of full games

760
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: and I'm like, yeah, the offense is good, but the

761
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:17,280
Speaker 2: defenses it's worrisome. And I still don't think their offensive

762
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 2: line is fixed. I know they're running the football and

763
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 2: doing it, but I think Lamar covers some of that

764
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 2: stuff up.

765
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 3: And I think I think a team with a good

766
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 3: pass rush, if they get into a drop back passing game,

767
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 3: well they kind of date against Cincinnati, but Cincinnati doesn't

768
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 3: have the they don't have the defense to do the

769
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 3: one rush, right, Yeah, I'd like to see an interior

770
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 3: pass rusher what they do against Chris Jones? Yeah, I

771
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 3: mean are they.

772
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 2: Going to do against Cam Hayward where Alex Highsmith should

773
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 2: be back for them?

774
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 3: You know? And the Steelers have been there kryptonite and

775
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 3: maybe I think is playing really well though maybe.

776
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 2: Some of that, you know, my my Ravens trepidation stems

777
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 2: from having seen them two times a year now over

778
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: this decade.

779
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 3: And they can't beat the Steelers, which is a terrible

780
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 3: slide to only watch if you're watching them.

781
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: But I do watch them against other teams, of course,

782
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 2: and I watched them against other teams and think they're

783
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 2: not gonna be able to do that, Like they can't.

784
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 2: They're not gonna do that against.

785
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 3: The Steelers, right, And I one hundred percent agree with you.

786
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 3: And this is a Steeler show. But if they can

787
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 3: do it against thirty one other teams, they just hope

788
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 3: they don't play the Steelers the playoffs. We're apparently the Raiders.

789
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 3: That was a odd run. I mean the comeback stuff

790
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 3: against them is real, though. The comeback stuff is definitely real.

791
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 3: Which is it just makes no sense.

792
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 2: To me stands for a team that's supposed to be

793
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 2: able to run the ball, that can run the ball.

794
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 3: They do right.

795
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how they don't close teams out. They

796
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: just don't part of its pass rush, yeah, I mean

797
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 2: they don't have a pass rush. I think the offensive

798
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: line is soft. They don't know bos are watt to

799
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 2: t And I think because they don't have a pass rush,

800
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:54,280
Speaker 2: it exposes a secondary yeah, which is good but not great.

801
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: And you know, yeah, I think they're a big time

802
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 3: contender in the league where I'm not sure who the

803
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 3: big time contenders are. They would definitely be in that five.

804
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 3: I just don't know that they can beat Mahomes. I

805
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: don't know that it's fair, Yeah, yeah, I mean it's

806
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 3: it's definitely fair because Kansas City plays defense. Yeah. Are

807
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 3: the Niners a team not in that five that you

808
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 3: would say of the best chance to win the Super Bowl?

809
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 2: Green Bay, green Bay. Potentially green Bay is pretty good. Potentially, Yeah, potentially.

810
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 2: I could see Atlanta getting their stuff together and coming

811
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,280
Speaker 2: out of the NFC.

812
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 3: Wow that.

813
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: I think that defense is going to get better as

814
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 2: the season goes on. The two safeties are really good.

815
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,960
Speaker 2: That you had a Jude on Cousins are starting to

816
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 2: look like he's.

817
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 3: Could the Eagles get there get.

818
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 2: Hot the last couple of years They could potentially, and

819
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 2: you're getting your your pieces back on offense.

820
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, it could look good here for the next month

821
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 3: or so. Yeah. I don't love Hurts. I think he

822
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 3: has limitations. He does, but when you have all those

823
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 3: weapons kind of like party.

824
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 2: Could the Bills get back in like that top five.

825
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 3: Destroy the Jets? I don't know if they have the

826
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 3: horses this year. I think they're in a step back

827
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 3: rebuild we all thought, and then they started season hot

828
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: and you kind of forget that.

829
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know so anyways, that's Eric at Holmes Power Rankings.

830
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 2: Steelers coming in at tenth in that one didn't get

831
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 2: dinged for the loss of the Cowboys, kind of holding

832
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 2: steady there.

833
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, in the league is kind of holding. I mean

834
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,720
Speaker 3: there's a lot of so.

835
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 2: So much parody in the NFL right now that maybe

836
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 2: more so. I mean again, we're five weeks into this.

837
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,400
Speaker 2: We've only got two unbeaten teams.

838
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and nobody is winless. Yeah, and it's strange. Yeah.

839
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely, let's get to a break. He is the Matt Williamson.

840
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 2: I'm Dale Lolly. You're listening to the Drive here on

843
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 3: This, at least.

844
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

845
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

846
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,320
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

847
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 3: And we are back. I'm Dale Lolly. He is the

848
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 3: Matt Williamson.

849
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,520
Speaker 2: And uh, they have some news and notes coming out

850
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 2: of this weekend's games, Matt, including Robert solid getting fired.

851
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big news today, obviously, big news. Uh

852
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 3: didn't have him on the BINGO card being the first

853
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,040
Speaker 3: guy going. No, I'm not sure to be in the

854
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 3: top five. Yeah.

855
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 2: Maybe the ball little situation, but Peterson may have saved

856
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,760
Speaker 2: his job this weekend.

857
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he would have been number one for me. I

858
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 3: thought Chicago seat might have been getting hot, but not anymore.

859
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 3: Who else? I mean, the Colts are safe. A lot

860
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 3: of them are new, that's the thing. Yeah, and a

861
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,360
Speaker 3: lot of teams won. You only kind of saved themselves

862
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,759
Speaker 3: a little bit. Like I'm giants, the Fanski seat could

863
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 3: be getting hot.

864
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, one coach of the year and then you get

865
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 2: fired next year. I mean that's probably neither.

866
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 3: Is deserved, right, you know, I'm sure he's somewhere in between,

867
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 3: you know what I mean.

868
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:11,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, Anyways, Arizona Cardinals today placed the offensive lineman Will

869
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 2: Hernandez on injured reserve.

870
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: He's a starter, He's a starter.

871
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:21,360
Speaker 2: They signed offensive lineman Charlie Heck to their active roster. Okay, so, uh,

872
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 2: we didn't talk about the Bengals our Marius Mims got

873
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 2: hurt in that game the other day.

874
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 3: I know.

875
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: They also put so They signed offensive tackle Andrew Stupor

876
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 2: to their active roster. They also placed Jackson Kirkland on

877
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 2: injured reserve. Another one of their offensive linemen injuries. You know,

878
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 2: Dax Hill goes on that is gone at the end

879
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: of the year, right, Yeah, not great. No, They're not

880
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 2: huge things, but they're they add up. As you mentioned

881
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 2: earlier in the show where she Rice said that successful

882
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 2: surgery on Tuesday to repair his l c L. Only

883
00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 2: the l c L needed to be repaired, but he

884
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 2: will not return this season.

885
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 3: And he mases a suspension when he comes back. There's

886
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 3: that too. Yeah, you would think that have solved the

887
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 3: receiver problem. But no Mark, he's Brown, no race of Rice. Yeah.

888
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 2: The Colts signed the linebacker David Long to their active

889
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 2: roster from the practice squad.

890
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 3: HM. Okay, I don't know if he was on the

891
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 3: practice for Yeah, so yeah, he's probably a better player

892
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 3: than that. Right, is that the same David Long? Yeah? Yeah, okay.

893
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones with the vikings considered week to week, but

894
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 2: it won't be a long term injury. According to Kevin O'Connell,

895
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 2: they're on a bye this week, so that worked out

896
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 2: well for them.

897
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 3: Sounds like at most he misses a game. Yeah.

898
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 2: Derek Carr with that oblique expected to miss multiple games.

899
00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

900
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 2: According to Ian Rappaport and Mike Garafollo, that.

901
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 3: Might be willing to say. They're not a playoff team there.

902
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 2: They've lost three in a row after the hot start.

903
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 2: They're not gonna win a game without Derek Carr.

904
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 3: No, their division is not easy anymore. I mean it's

905
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 3: not the best, but it's not easy anymore. Yeah.

906
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 2: They can't even like turn to Taysom Hill for some

907
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,880
Speaker 2: quarterback like stuff right now because he's got the broken ribs.

908
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. I wonder if he'll be back next week.

909
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 2: But even so, well, you know the station down the

910
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,919
Speaker 2: road here in Pittsburgh will start. The Steelers should trade

911
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 2: the Saints Russell Wilson. Wilson, right, yeah, because that makes

912
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: perfect sense.

913
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 3: That's a bad injury for them. Yeah. Absolutely. Uh. Philadelphia

914
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 3: released Devin White. Wow, he's not good. Everyone talked about

915
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 3: Steelers are taking White over Bush. They both had, they

916
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 3: both similar careers.

917
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:39,919
Speaker 2: Right right, Yeah, Yeah, Devon White actually might be worse

918
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 2: than Devin Bush.

919
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 3: Devin Bush is still on an active roster. Yeah, I

920
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 3: guess he does a job. Would you throw Devin White

921
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 3: on your practice squad if you're any team? I'm not

922
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 3: even know about Steelers, any team.

923
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 2: What'd you talk about earlier in the show about guys

924
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 2: being not smart enough to right?

925

965
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's that time of year, and that's kind of

966
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 2: it for the injury stuff there this week. But some

967
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 2: notable people on those listens. I can't believe Devin White

968
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 2: got cut. Yeah, he never played a game for them

969
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 2: this year. He was an act of the first four weeks.

970
00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 3: Don't trust him. Yeah, Okay, And.

971
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 2: There's that's a team and that's a team that quite

972
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: frankly they're they're inside linebackers and nothing good. No, they've

973
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 2: been kind of neglecting them and then they did something there, Yeah,

974
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: and decide not to totally flush it, and now it's

975
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 2: not any better on buys this week Kansas City, the

976
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 2: Rams they need one. The Dolphins they need one in Minnesota.

977
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 3: So the two unbeaten teams will be unbeaten six and

978
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,080

979
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 3: one and two. Yeah. They they're not gonna go backwards. Yeah,

980
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 3: could to a return. I think a game after that.

981
00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 2: They're saying Week nine would be run somewhere around there.

982
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,360
