0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>is Scott Fish. It's your first time in the off season? Yes,

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.400
<v Speaker 1>first off season show? Was it was? It awesome having

0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.800
<v Speaker 1>a month off? It was it was. It didn't feel

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>like a month off, but it definitely was. Yeah. You know,

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:41.080
<v Speaker 1>don't have to prep for the show, and so I'm

0:00:41.120 --> 0:00:43.200
<v Speaker 1>expecting to bring a lot of excitement, a lot of energy.

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.280
<v Speaker 1>You do do it all right? Yeah, And it's a

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl edition, the first of two, So first of

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:53.279
<v Speaker 1>two Super Bowls, first of two Fantasy Football Weeklies for

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowls, and um, then we'll have to figure

0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.080
<v Speaker 1>out all the things we're gonna talk about in the offseason.

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>There's enough, you know, I think when when it's you

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>and I, I'm I mostly want to talk about gameplay

0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>variations because you are I think you and I are

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>as as excited by different ways to play as anybody

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>in the industry pretty much. So, um, I think that

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>will be a lot. A lot of the folkus to

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>say is we are both pioneers in that field. Well,

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:27.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, maybe, but there's lots of stuff throwing

0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.320
<v Speaker 1>off season February, there's combine March, there's free agency starts

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 1>new league year April, there's the Draft. We got tons

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. I'll be at the combine, so we'll have

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>a report back from the combine for sure. Niners take on?

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you do you hear Niners taken on the Chiefs

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>in the Super Bowl? Interesting? Yeah, I have not heard yet.

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>This is this should be exciting to hear somebody made

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>a fifteen to one bet on the Niners last March.

0:01:54.040 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>Is that somebody saying in the room with me that

0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.160
<v Speaker 1>tickets paying for my return earned trip to Las Vegas

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.880
<v Speaker 1>on one of those places where you can do anymore.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It was very important distinction. It was

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Niners to make the Super Bowl, So I mean cashing yet,

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>but I'm flying to Vegas next week to cash it.

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be there for the Super Bowl now and

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna pay for the trip, which is great. The

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>somebody gave me great advice once. Never bet to win

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>the super Bowl. Always bet to make the super Bowl.

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Here's why the odds double. So in the case of

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:35.120
<v Speaker 1>my bet, it was fifteen to one to make the

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl, thirty to one to win the super Bowl.

0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Here's why I cash out my fifteen to one to

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 1>make it right. Let's just say it was a bet

0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:47.440
<v Speaker 1>so that if I still love the Niners, I can

0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 1>roll the whole fifteen over, roll it into a super

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Bowl bet and make my three grant. If I don't

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>think the Niners are gonna win, I just made my

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>money and I don't have to make I don't have

0:02:56.639 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to have any more risks. That's the way to like it. Um,

0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>let's talk Niners in chiefs. Let's break down the game

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. By the way, I think this is

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the best possible Super Bowl. UM, with all due respect

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 1>to the Ravens and Lamar Jackson, which would have been great,

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>But Patrick Mahomes is more ready to win a super

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 1>Bowl and more ready to make it a great game,

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I think than Lamar Jacksons, and too too extremely good

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>like he's you can almost say he's peaking right now.

0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:26.079
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes. The last two games has looked just just unreal.

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>I believe over three hundred and both. Uh I think

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>last week, okay, so averaging over I'll go there. Then.

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, I had had the huge run last week.

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>It just seems like he's peaking at the right time.

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>And it really does just everything's come together for Patrick Mahomes. Um,

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>if we just talk about the clearest avenues to victory

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>for these two teams, I mean, clearly for the Chiefs,

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>it's um, you get ahead early, you take the running

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.720
<v Speaker 1>game away from the forty nine, which is very possible, right,

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Homes can get a they haven't the last two games,

0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and they but they did take away Derrick Henry last

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>week and are substantially better defense than the last two

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.680
<v Speaker 1>weeks for the no kidding, not close. Um. And then

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 1>you make Jimmy Garoppolo go win the game, right and

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I'm not saying he can't. Garoppolo could

0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>that passing game could win What is the three? Is

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>the starter or something like that? Jimm Garoppolo and and

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>he and and people don't realize this. And I'm gonna

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>steal the step from my clay Jimmy Garoppolo average twent

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>nine pass attempts per game during the season. It's not

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>like he can't throw. He just didn't need to last week,

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and and he threw a lot in the early goings

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of the season to win games. He did he did.

0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.679
<v Speaker 1>Now for the Niners, it's kind of the opposite. They're easy.

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Path to victory is just keep running the ball to

0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>keep Patrick Mahomes on the sidelines and keep your defense fresh,

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:48.880
<v Speaker 1>and you run your way to victory, just like they

0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>did the last two weeks. Um, both are very plausible, Um, Coleman,

0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.040
<v Speaker 1>we we still don't know. They expect him to play.

0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>But even if even if, even if they don't, that's

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.480
<v Speaker 1>exactly what I was And even if they don't, Shanahan

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 1>schemes so well that it'll be, you know, a little

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>extra bread or a little like some news check players

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, like he'll figure it out. Yeah. Um, I

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 1>do think one of the fascinating elements because the Niners

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.679
<v Speaker 1>have had these early leads and haven't had to pass,

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 1>there's huge portions of the playbook that they haven't had

0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.480
<v Speaker 1>to use for for the whole playoffs. On the flip side,

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs haven't seen it recently to prep for it, right,

0:05:26.160 --> 0:05:28.400
<v Speaker 1>A lot of truth of that, um, And so I

0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 1>think there's a you know, I think there's a sneaky

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:32.880
<v Speaker 1>advantage for the Niners in that they've just been able

0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>to coast their way and just run, just run the

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 1>ball to these victories. Had an easy, easy path, there's

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 1>no question, no offense to But now I agree this

0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:46.480
<v Speaker 1>is it. And honestly, Chiefs path wasn't all that hard either,

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:51.159
<v Speaker 1>have to get through Baltimore, So you know, yeah, all right, anyway,

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>let's let's start here from a fantasy standpoints. You break

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>down these games. Scott Niners running game, let's let's talk

0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>about them and the Chiefs run defense Niners, and with

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>historic playoff performances. Through the two games, they're averaging forty

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>one rushing attempts. By the way, this is just the

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.359
<v Speaker 1>running backs. I'm not even including any I'm not including

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>any quarterback runs. Forty one rushing attempts, two hundred thirty

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 1>six rushing yards, and five point eight yards per carre.

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.280
<v Speaker 1>I was just gonna say that's nearly six yards per

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:28.520
<v Speaker 1>carrying my mental math, that's insane, it's insane, um. But

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what Moister was doing. Like all year or two,

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 1>which is the crazy thing. It's insane, and it's you

0:06:33.160 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 1>think it's not sustainable, but he's sustainable. You know. The

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>funny thing is he's higher than the five point eight

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:43.719
<v Speaker 1>yards per car So here's where he most dits average

0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>games since week thirteen when he became the lead back

0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>to the forty nine. And we talked a lot during

0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:51.839
<v Speaker 1>this show during the playoffs and how the fantasy playoffs

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.359
<v Speaker 1>and how he was crushing these fantasy playoff leagues. His

0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:58.800
<v Speaker 1>average game UH since week thirteen six point three yards

0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>per carry for him posted fifteen carries hundred four yards

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and one and a half touchdowns per game per game.

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>That's pretty ridiculous. It is pretty ridiculous that one and

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:12.280
<v Speaker 1>a half touchdowns is buoyed by last week a little bit,

0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>but it is um But you know, also there was

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the against the Vikings. It was mostly Tevin Coleman and

0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:21.680
<v Speaker 1>so you know, which I think is less of an

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.280
<v Speaker 1>indictment on where he Morris and more that the Niners

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>never felt like the Vikings were a threat, and so

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.040
<v Speaker 1>they were like, let's give let's give the fresh legs

0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>of of Tevin Coleman a long run in this game. Yeah,

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>I can easily see that, and maybe they should have

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>gave it given him less of an um. Now, the

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs obviously halted Derrick Henry last week. Nineteen carries for

0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:44.560
<v Speaker 1>sixty nine yards and three points six yards per carry.

0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>That's it. So the Chiefs really can play run defense.

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>And not only that, but this was a Chief's run

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 1>defense that was a liability for September, October, November. But

0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>really from December four ward, here's what the Chiefs are

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>giving up per game on the ground. Three point eight

0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:06.800
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry seems good. Zero point seven rushing touchdowns

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.080
<v Speaker 1>per game, that's it. Yeah, so they've been able to

0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 1>really turn around their run defense. Yeah. Well, and that's

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>that's really what the fos bread and butter is right now,

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.160
<v Speaker 1>that which just makes up for a great matchup because

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.920
<v Speaker 1>the past defense has been top six all year in

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 1>several categories. Yeah. So I think from a just a

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>fantasy standpoint here where he moster to me feels if

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>we're doing our letter grades, he's a B grade for

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 1>me because the Chiefs run defense is improved enough that

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>I can't count on him. I don't think Tevin Coleman,

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>even if he's active for this game. I don't trust

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:41.839
<v Speaker 1>him to have a major role in this game I

0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.240
<v Speaker 1>have I would put a bench grade on him, and

0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>if Coleman is out, I put a C grade on

0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Matt Brita. How does that feel to you? That feels

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 1>about right? So I'm getting the vibe from you. You

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>think that this is an under game, This is not

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>going to hit over. Get this. I just read this

0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 1>today of the money is on the over. It's moved

0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>from fifty two to fifty four. The Vegas. Vegas builds

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>casinos on sports, better losses. If I want to be

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>on the casino side, I go under. Now the super

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Bowls have gone over. Somebody emailed me this today. Well,

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 1>I was on the air in cafe. An super Bowl

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.680
<v Speaker 1>has gone over thirteen of the last fifteen Super Bowls. Yeah,

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>that feels right. It just it feels like a lot

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:31.439
<v Speaker 1>of high school wins. Do you get kind of like

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 1>a like, uh, do you remember when the the Seahawks

0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>took on Peyton Manning's Broncos? Was it and the Broncos

0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.920
<v Speaker 1>just offense offense offense and Seahawks great defense? Do you

0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:45.720
<v Speaker 1>get the kind of super Bowl it was? It was

0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Broncos and Cam Newton and the Panthers. Panthers, Yeah, do

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:52.360
<v Speaker 1>you get that kind of vibe from it? The super

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>offense and really good defense and now maybe they neutralize

0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>or defense wins. I don't, Scott, for the first time

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.280
<v Speaker 1>in my adult life, I don't know who's going to

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>win this game. I really don't. It's at one point spread,

0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't know. I'm paid to have opinions

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>on this stuff. I don't know. You know, right now,

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 1>eight days, nine days invented from them it was gonna win.

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I am thinking of the Manning Seahawks two thousand fourteen

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl, the one where the Seahawks had the best

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 1>defense in the league, the Legion of Boot and they

0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.680
<v Speaker 1>got a safety on the first play. That's right, That's

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:29.200
<v Speaker 1>that's on. I'm wondering, Van, it's kind of attractive to

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>think about if the defense wins that battle. Well, And actually,

0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>there's two good defenses on the field, and there's one

0:10:36.880 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>great offense and one good offense. So alright, let's talk

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>about the Niners passing game. Is Jimmy Garoppolo ready for

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.959
<v Speaker 1>this moment? Do you think this moment? Well, he's got

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>two Super Bowl rings he does. I've got that. It's

0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 1>got two super Bowl rings. Yeah, it's not like he's

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>never been a part of the lead up to the

0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl. Is not of feel um. We had um.

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 1>We had John Sullivan on the radio with me today

0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:09.040
<v Speaker 1>and he was the he was the Rams Center. Last

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>hear that. And you know, the chaos that leads up

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.719
<v Speaker 1>to the super Bowl, it's a massive distraction and it's

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>unlike anything you've done in any week prior to that.

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So the fact that Garoppolo can come in with the

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>experience of having been through all of that, although not

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.680
<v Speaker 1>not as a spotlight player, but still having gone through it,

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>I think I think there is some value to that.

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.520
<v Speaker 1>He's always had this cool, calm collected vibe, Like even

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 1>when he took over the starting job in San Francisco,

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.400
<v Speaker 1>they would have those like Mike David's of him just

0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 1>just being cool and calm collected no matter what the

0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:47.839
<v Speaker 1>situation down in late in the fourth it's just it

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter to him. I think, I think you're right

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 1>about that, And um, I don't. I don't. I don't

0:11:53.360 --> 0:11:56.760
<v Speaker 1>worry about the moment being too big for at all,

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:00.520
<v Speaker 1>even though it's you know, he's younger and he has

0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>less playoff experience. UM, but I think he's excited for it.

0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure, I'm sure he is. But he's just He's

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:11.520
<v Speaker 1>just always been up for every single big moment throughout

0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>his career. So I'm not worried about my homes alright.

0:12:14.520 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 1>So back to the Niners passing game here. UM. Garoppolo

0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>has barely passed in the two playoff wins. As you know,

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.959
<v Speaker 1>we talked about the running. The Niners have run the

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>ball eighty one times. He's thrown seven passes against two games,

0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 1>less than his season average in two games. Isn't that nuts? Um? Niners? Um? Well,

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:35.840
<v Speaker 1>as I mentioned, they've kept a lot of their playbook

0:12:35.880 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 1>under wraps, which I think does give Garoppolo a bit

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>of an intangible advantage. His average passing game since Week eight,

0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.959
<v Speaker 1>so basically second half of the season has been two

0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.920
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight yards, which is very low. One almost two touchdowns,

0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>which is the Vegas over under on him. Is like,

0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:56.679
<v Speaker 1>funny how that works? It's not a coincidence, I'm sure, Um,

0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:01.079
<v Speaker 1>almost two touchdowns, half an interception of real high completion

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 1>percentage of sixty which is great, um, and a pass

0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>rating of a hundred three. That's those pretty good numbers,

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 1>but they're not they're not massive fantasy numbers. Yeah. Yeah,

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 1>he's always had that where his touchdowns, but even his

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>touchdown the interception ratio is not that great over his career.

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>He's he's not the fantasy stalwart we kind of hoped

0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 1>he would be. That's Patrick Mahomes. That's Patrick Mahomes right exactly.

0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:32.680
<v Speaker 1>The Chiefs allowed the fewest yards to wide receivers this year,

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.839
<v Speaker 1>which is a stunning turn around from the year before.

0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember, I remember that as we were leading up

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 1>late into the season that they were like middle of

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>the pack for a while, and then it just was

0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 1>like they were one of the best and not allowing

0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.040
<v Speaker 1>very many touchdowns at all, which No and fifth fewest,

0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.800
<v Speaker 1>fifth fewest touchdowns wide receivers, in the fewest yards to

0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.080
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. So I'm I don't particularly a good thing.

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.400
<v Speaker 1>They're playing a team that doesn't, you know, has middling

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:59.480
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers. How are they on tight ends? Charge We'll

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.439
<v Speaker 1>get to that second. Uh Deebo Samuel runs sixty percent

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.600
<v Speaker 1>of his routes from the left or the slot, which

0:14:05.600 --> 0:14:09.479
<v Speaker 1>puts him against Brushod Perriman and h Or and Kendall Fuller, respectively,

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 1>both have been pretty good. Breeland has been terrific in

0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.680
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs. He's allowed two completions on seven passes into

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 1>his coverage. Fuller's allowed one touchdown in his last eleven games.

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:24.560
<v Speaker 1>So Deebo Samuel has been a nice spark plug for them. Um,

0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:27.160
<v Speaker 1>this might not be the key. Who's going to get

0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:32.800
<v Speaker 1>it for the passing game on the four nine uh,

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuel Sanders will run from the slot. He's also used

0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:37.760
<v Speaker 1>more often than that on the outside and he's on

0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 1>the right side. He'll see a lot of chart various

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:43.960
<v Speaker 1>West Who's the best Chiefs cornerback? He's been actually pretty great.

0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>He's allowed two scores all year and one since Week four.

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.480
<v Speaker 1>That's it. That's that's very little for all of those

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>That's that's what That's what it takes to be the

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 1>number one pasteven. Not giving up a lot of touchdowns

0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:57.960
<v Speaker 1>helps ups a lot. So then let's get to Kittle,

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Who's I think about to be on in this He

0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 1>has to if they want to win this game. He

0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 1>has to be sparingly used as a receiver. He loses

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot as a blocker in the in the playoffs

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.040
<v Speaker 1>so far. Against Minnesota, Kittle was just three catches sixteen yards.

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Against Green Bay one catch eighteen yards. Killed The DFS

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 1>players killed them. Um he gets he gets targeted on

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a whopping twenty six percent of his routes run, which

0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:26.280
<v Speaker 1>is great. So when he does run routes, there's a

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.560
<v Speaker 1>huge high percentage that he's going to get the ball.

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.040
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City ranks. Here's Kansas City's ranks against tight ends

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 1>yards allowed twenty six sorry nine third or fourth worst

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>receptions allowed to tight ends thirty first by the Chiefs.

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Here comes George freaking Kittle. I think they are gonna

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I think for all those passes he didn't get the

0:15:50.760 --> 0:15:54.400
<v Speaker 1>last the last two weeks, they're common baby, and and

0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I unfortunately agree with the public money on the over,

0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 1>well least when it was fifty two and a half.

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's at fifty four now. So but I

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.920
<v Speaker 1>I feel, I feel a lot of shootout in this battle.

0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>I wonder what kiddles if you have you've got your

0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:14.240
<v Speaker 1>computer in front of you. Seventy point five five point

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.320
<v Speaker 1>five receptions is his and then seventy point five yards,

0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.320
<v Speaker 1>so he's had sixteen yards in nineteen yards and they've

0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 1>set the line at seventy. Yeah. And and he had

0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>top seventy and three straight prior to those two games,

0:16:26.280 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>which doesn't surprise me. Now he Kittle draws a fascinating

0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:34.560
<v Speaker 1>matchup with Tyrone Matthew. I mean, Matthew has been awesome,

0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 1>It's been awesome for years. Yep. But Kelsey's got four

0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 1>inches and fifty pounds on him. Um. Matthews super physical,

0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 1>isn't afraid to get his jersey dirty. He had eighty

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:50.480
<v Speaker 1>two tackles this year. Yeah, Matthew did. Yeah, and a

0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.960
<v Speaker 1>fantastic pass defender. He hasn't allowed a touchdown in fourteen game.

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:57.520
<v Speaker 1>He's a prepper too, does so much prep work. That's

0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 1>why he's I think that's a big part of it.

0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 1>They've got to know he's coming. The passer rating against

0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Matthew sixty eight. Sixty eight is the passer rating. It's unbelievable.

0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:15.359
<v Speaker 1>It's it's very low. Uh. Kittles an elite blocking tight end,

0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 1>but that we're not going to get fantasy points for that.

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:19.359
<v Speaker 1>I still think at the end of the day, I

0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.959
<v Speaker 1>think the volume is coming. They just have to get this.

0:17:23.080 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 1>They can't depend on Kendricks like they can't know. I

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.720
<v Speaker 1>think that, and it's some in some point in this game,

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 1>unlike the last two games, they're going to have to

0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:36.800
<v Speaker 1>complete some passes to Kettle. I think they're just not

0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:39.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna I just don't think the Niners, You're not. They're

0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 1>not gonna keep Andy Reid's offense to like nineteen points.

0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.280
<v Speaker 1>This is an offense that average twenty nine game or

0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 1>something game. Um And if you think that they're going

0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 1>to throw the kittle seven times eight times, no, this

0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:58.040
<v Speaker 1>he catches of the balls throwing his way. So if

0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you think he's gonna get seven catches, if it's seven targets,

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.360
<v Speaker 1>there's six catches. And you think he's gonna get ten targets,

0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:07.840
<v Speaker 1>there's eight catches. I think we're on the same page. Kittles.

0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Kittles in for a big game here. I don't I

0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know how much I can trust the other receiver.

0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:13.959
<v Speaker 1>Give me a letter grade on Kittle, I'd give him

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:18.920
<v Speaker 1>an all right. How about the receivers benchable? I mean

0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Sanders maybe a seed, but I'd probably bench them all,

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:24.560
<v Speaker 1>even Deebo Samuel. I know it's I don't love the matchups,

0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.560
<v Speaker 1>but Samuel has been awfully good. Yeah, but he has

0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.840
<v Speaker 1>also been hit and miss at times. Deebo Samuel's over

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:35.440
<v Speaker 1>under his fifty four point five, which feels fair given

0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of weeks. He's he's caught some balls

0:18:37.480 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and he's been very aggressive in pushing downfield when he

0:18:40.359 --> 0:18:43.840
<v Speaker 1>gets them. Not deep speed downfield. I'm talking about, you know,

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:45.959
<v Speaker 1>catching the ball and then turning up field with him

0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and fighting tackles. Makes sense. Um, Alright, So that's uh,

0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:54.000
<v Speaker 1>that is the San Francisco side. When we come back,

0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.080
<v Speaker 1>we'll break down the Chiefs side of the ball. This

0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 1>is the more fascinating offense side, the more fascinating fantasy side.

0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.280
<v Speaker 1>We'll be back in moments with more fantasy football weekly.

0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:09.480
<v Speaker 1>All Right, We're back, Paul Charge and Scott Fish breaking

0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:12.080
<v Speaker 1>down the Super Bowl fantasy style you know, next week.

0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:13.760
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not sure who's with me next week. Maybe

0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.400
<v Speaker 1>it's you. I think it might be Matt Weeps or something. Yeah,

0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:19.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll we'll go back and touch on anything

0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:22.480
<v Speaker 1>that we think has changed from this um and then

0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:24.639
<v Speaker 1>I think we will talk some props. We just talked

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 1>about most or we don't know about Baby Coleman's we

0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 1>know more at that time. When Coleman is on the

0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 1>cart last week, I wasn't feeling real good about most

0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.160
<v Speaker 1>it's over under his seventy five total yards. Right now,

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a pretty good line because it makes me good line.

0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.200
<v Speaker 1>It really does make me think, that's totally hard. I'm nervous.

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:47.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm nervous about that. Okay, let's go to the cheap side. Uh,

0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.399
<v Speaker 1>let's start with a rushing attack, which is less interesting.

0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:52.480
<v Speaker 1>We'll save the best for last. Patrick problems. Damien Williams

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:59.320
<v Speaker 1>has gotten twenty nine of thirty running back handoffs when

0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:02.840
<v Speaker 1>he's the lead back. He's the lead back, that's and

0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:07.360
<v Speaker 1>that's when he's healthy, basically. Um, but get this, he's

0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:09.560
<v Speaker 1>running these are they in the playoffs? He's run for

0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 1>three point two yards per carry. That's not great, Bob,

0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:14.880
<v Speaker 1>That isn't good. Now. Tennessee is a good run defense,

0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>so and looking at those runs, he didn't leave really many,

0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:22.480
<v Speaker 1>if any yards on the table. He was maximizing what

0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.040
<v Speaker 1>he could against Tennessee, which in the just it just

0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 1>wasn't there. Houston is not a great run defense. I

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 1>expected Martin. Now, he was very good through the air

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:35.120
<v Speaker 1>against those against both teams as a as an important

0:20:35.119 --> 0:20:40.320
<v Speaker 1>part of the passing game. Get this, Niners are so

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 1>good against receiving running backs. Hang on, here's my numbers

0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.040
<v Speaker 1>on that. So Williams through the air, his over under

0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the Vegas over under, his three point five receptions, which

0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.520
<v Speaker 1>seems really high, and thirty point five yards through the

0:20:56.520 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>air for Damian Williams. Yeah, in receiving for Davian Wiyiams. Well,

0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 1>here's your stats. You'rer relevant shorts for you. Um, this

0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.359
<v Speaker 1>is in the regular season. I just have time to

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:09.000
<v Speaker 1>add in the playoffs and the regular season, san Francisco allowed.

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 1>It allowed the third fewest running back receptions, the second

0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:18.040
<v Speaker 1>fewest running back yards, and zero touchdowns through the air

0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 1>to running backs. It's not a great manager for his

0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.919
<v Speaker 1>Damian Williams to me, is a C grade runner here.

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:27.399
<v Speaker 1>San Francisco ranked eighth and rushing yards allowed in the

0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:31.240
<v Speaker 1>regular season, third in rushing touchdowns allowed. They limited Aaron

0:21:31.320 --> 0:21:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Jones to fifty six rushing yards and they helped Alvin

0:21:34.200 --> 0:21:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Cook eighteen. I think you should be putting Williams in

0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the same boat as moster in this game, where with

0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 1>probably a C grade, you know, seventy to nine seventy

0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:45.280
<v Speaker 1>to eighty yards. Maybe hope they got most rolling into

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>this game. It's six half yards per carry and I

0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:50.440
<v Speaker 1>got I got half of that from Damian Williams. Most

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:59.400
<v Speaker 1>most a soft be Williams is a C Almost exactly

0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the same over under as far as total yards. Let's

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:05.880
<v Speaker 1>go to the passing attack with the Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes,

0:22:06.000 --> 0:22:07.879
<v Speaker 1>as you alluded to at the beginning of the show,

0:22:08.160 --> 0:22:13.160
<v Speaker 1>absolutely electric in these two games. UM. As a quick aside,

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:17.119
<v Speaker 1>he's the most talented quarterback I've ever seen based on

0:22:17.240 --> 0:22:19.879
<v Speaker 1>what we've seen so far. Yep. I've heard this argument

0:22:19.920 --> 0:22:22.320
<v Speaker 1>recently about some people are like, you know, I thought

0:22:22.400 --> 0:22:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Rogers was the most just talent, you know, not you know,

0:22:25.200 --> 0:22:28.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever measure you want, but just talent wise, arm talent wise.

0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:30.479
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people are on Rogers, and I think

0:22:30.480 --> 0:22:32.240
<v Speaker 1>people are starting to flip to Mahomes, and I think

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:37.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm there too. You know, there's no there's nothing Mahomes

0:22:37.520 --> 0:22:44.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't do at an extraordinary level. If it's reading defenses,

0:22:44.800 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 1>if it's arm strength, if it's UH catchable pass, if

0:22:49.080 --> 0:22:53.639
<v Speaker 1>it's UM mobility snot Lamar Jackson be super mobile UM.

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:57.560
<v Speaker 1>If it's throwing on the run if it's improvisation, you

0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:01.440
<v Speaker 1>know the crazy how did he do that? You know everything,

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:06.120
<v Speaker 1>it's all there, there's nothing. He is not a an

0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:07.840
<v Speaker 1>eight out of ten, nine out of ten, of ten

0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:09.640
<v Speaker 1>out of tenet. It's one of those one of those

0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:14.439
<v Speaker 1>where there's just no clear weakness, no weakness in his game. Um,

0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:16.720
<v Speaker 1>all right, so that's you know what he's over under

0:23:16.760 --> 0:23:19.600
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown passes in this game is no? So let

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>point two point two point five? Ye? So? Um, so

0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:28.720
<v Speaker 1>they're expecting at least two or three touchdowns from him.

0:23:29.000 --> 0:23:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I could place that bet either way.

0:23:31.880 --> 0:23:35.160
<v Speaker 1>The let's talk ma Holmes. Uh, He's thrown for eight

0:23:35.160 --> 0:23:39.119
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in the playoffs. Eight the game against Houston was

0:23:39.200 --> 0:23:42.280
<v Speaker 1>just no interceptions. I can't think of an interception. Don't

0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:45.280
<v Speaker 1>believe he has any interceptions. Niners were the number one

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:47.600
<v Speaker 1>past defense this season. So let's let's get to the

0:23:47.680 --> 0:23:50.399
<v Speaker 1>other side of the story here. Number one past defense

0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 1>this season, allowing a league low one nine passing yards

0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:57.639
<v Speaker 1>per game, and better than that if you take out

0:23:57.680 --> 0:24:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the month of December when the Niners were racked with injuries.

0:24:00.520 --> 0:24:02.800
<v Speaker 1>They were missing four and five defensive starters. We just

0:24:02.800 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 1>take that month's side, here's the average UM. If you

0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:13.640
<v Speaker 1>take out the month of December, here's the average game

0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:18.040
<v Speaker 1>the Niners gave up to opposing quarterbacks one hundred sixty

0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:24.240
<v Speaker 1>one passing yards nothing, zero point eight passing touchdowns. So

0:24:25.119 --> 0:24:29.960
<v Speaker 1>they could give up double their average game to Patrick Mahomes.

0:24:30.800 --> 0:24:33.480
<v Speaker 1>That would be a three yard game and one and

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:37.200
<v Speaker 1>a half touchdowns. And that's a bad game. They're gonna win.

0:24:37.720 --> 0:24:40.639
<v Speaker 1>They'll win if that's all they give up to Patrick

0:24:40.680 --> 0:24:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes is double what they give up to most quarterbacks. Now,

0:24:45.680 --> 0:24:47.720
<v Speaker 1>it's starting to feel more and more like that defense

0:24:47.800 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 1>five gonna take it home, UM, feeling like the under

0:24:52.720 --> 0:24:56.440
<v Speaker 1>as well. The two playoff games so far, the quarterbacks

0:24:56.480 --> 0:24:59.560
<v Speaker 1>they faced for the Niners. Kirk Cousins obviously had a

0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:04.080
<v Speaker 1>bad game, hundred seventy two yards, one touchdown, six sacks absorbed.

0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Rodgers had the one long bomb to Davante Adams,

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:11.119
<v Speaker 1>which excused the numbers a little bit, but that got

0:25:11.200 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 1>him up to three passing yards and two touchdowns, three sacks.

0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Playing from behind garbage, a lot of it was garbage time,

0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.840
<v Speaker 1>way way behind, and the long the long bomb to Adams.

0:25:21.080 --> 0:25:26.880
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't you know that's when the box score lies. UM,

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>let's talk about the wide receivers. Tyreek Hill runs seventy

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:35.840
<v Speaker 1>of his routes naturally away from Richard Sherman's side of

0:25:35.880 --> 0:25:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the field. They don't have to change his They don't

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 1>have to change and doesn't have to change what they

0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:44.879
<v Speaker 1>ask Tyreek Hill to do at all to just naturally

0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:48.280
<v Speaker 1>have him avoid Richard Sherman. It's a big advantage. Yeah,

0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Hill is going to get his in this game. I'm

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:55.000
<v Speaker 1>not worried about Hill. I'm more worried about the other receivers.

0:25:55.160 --> 0:25:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of people, people, especially if you're

0:25:57.160 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 1>playing DFS or whatever, are gonna possibly chase Watkins when

0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:03.880
<v Speaker 1>they shouldn't. Well, see this puts Watkins and Watkins runs

0:26:03.920 --> 0:26:05.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot from the slot too, but he runs slot

0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and right. He'll run slot and left mostly Watkins versus Sherman.

0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Dead dead, no thanks, no way. UM. I know there's

0:26:16.200 --> 0:26:17.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a lot of people that are gonna remember

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:22.680
<v Speaker 1>that Davante Adams bomb that went right over Sherman. Um,

0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:26.120
<v Speaker 1>that's such an outlier. Sherman has been awesome this year.

0:26:26.240 --> 0:26:28.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know Adams and Watkins are such on the

0:26:28.480 --> 0:26:34.879
<v Speaker 1>same level that exactly exactly. Um, alright, let's su and

0:26:34.920 --> 0:26:37.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't think Robinson has been a disaster bunch of

0:26:37.200 --> 0:26:40.440
<v Speaker 1>drops in the playoffs, and Nicole Hardman just they don't

0:26:40.520 --> 0:26:43.560
<v Speaker 1>they don't use them enough. I heard somewhere recently that

0:26:43.960 --> 0:26:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and I should have double checked this that Robinson hasn't

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 1>had more than three targets like all year, or like

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:51.639
<v Speaker 1>that's in a game all year or something since we

0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:55.000
<v Speaker 1>since Hill came back, since Hill came back. Maybe maybe

0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was since that big, huge week the

0:26:57.000 --> 0:27:00.800
<v Speaker 1>weeks Watkins had the big Week one, Remember all the

0:27:00.840 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 1>poor fantasy owners, Watkins has the giant Week one that

0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.360
<v Speaker 1>does nothing on here. Then Robinson he'll go then he'll

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:09.000
<v Speaker 1>goes down. In week one, Robinson gets all this love

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and Week two and all these all this fab money

0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:13.520
<v Speaker 1>comes in on Robinson a week two that he did

0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:17.120
<v Speaker 1>nothing for the rest of the year. And you can't

0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:19.720
<v Speaker 1>even blame if fantasy owners who are following those things,

0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:21.800
<v Speaker 1>because who doesn't want part of a passing attack, of

0:27:21.840 --> 0:27:25.320
<v Speaker 1>a cheaps passing attack that doesn't go through Tyreek Hill anymore.

0:27:25.400 --> 0:27:29.120
<v Speaker 1>We talked about it so many weeks, so many week Yeah,

0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:31.760
<v Speaker 1>he's only he only topped three catches once since week too.

0:27:31.800 --> 0:27:34.840
<v Speaker 1>That's what it was. Um, Yeah, we talked about so

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:37.200
<v Speaker 1>many weeks, were like should we pick up Nicole Hardman?

0:27:37.240 --> 0:27:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Should we pick up? And we could never pinpoint which

0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:43.760
<v Speaker 1>was the right one. Nobody could. Let's talk Travis Kelsey,

0:27:43.800 --> 0:27:45.320
<v Speaker 1>who can be a big difference in this game. The

0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Niners have been oddly susceptible to tight ends. This is

0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving you just some names of guys that have

0:27:51.040 --> 0:27:56.560
<v Speaker 1>punished the Niners since Week ten. Tyler Higbee, Jared Cook,

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Mark Andrews, Jacob Hollister all second half of the season.

0:28:01.640 --> 0:28:05.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, relatively recent tight ends that posted meaningful fantasy

0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.240
<v Speaker 1>games against them. I think the point is a lowed

0:28:08.280 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 1>six or seven touchdowns to ten ends on the season

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:13.080
<v Speaker 1>and sounds right. Last week Jimmy Graham had a solid

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:15.080
<v Speaker 1>games and Jimmy Graham's not that good, but he rolled

0:28:15.160 --> 0:28:17.960
<v Speaker 1>up four catches for fifty nine yards. I'll take that.

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:19.679
<v Speaker 1>I'll take that too. And by the way, think it

0:28:19.720 --> 0:28:23.960
<v Speaker 1>was four targets four catches Kelsey had. He destroyed Houston

0:28:24.000 --> 0:28:26.639
<v Speaker 1>two weeks ago, then was quiet last week. He had

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:29.400
<v Speaker 1>a ten catch game against Houston two games ago. It's

0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:33.280
<v Speaker 1>almost like fantasy championships, usually someone has kidl or Kelsey.

0:28:34.080 --> 0:28:37.119
<v Speaker 1>I'm funny, and here we are talking about him. All right,

0:28:37.160 --> 0:28:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's do some letter grades on members of the passing game.

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Tell me if still start here with Patrick Mahomes, what's

0:28:41.920 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the letter grade you'd give him? At Scott, I am

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:47.160
<v Speaker 1>still going with an A. I've seen Mahomes throw up

0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:49.560
<v Speaker 1>three hundred yards on some of the best defenses the

0:28:49.640 --> 0:28:52.200
<v Speaker 1>NFL over the last two years, so I'm still not

0:28:52.400 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 1>scared of it. His the Vegas over under, his three

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 1>oh five two and a half three oh five yards

0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and two and a half touchdowns, I think that's a

0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:03.120
<v Speaker 1>fair line. I'm with Vegas there, and I think that's

0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:06.280
<v Speaker 1>a decent fantasy day, So I'm giving him an A. Okay, Um,

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:09.960
<v Speaker 1>let's go to Tyreek Hill. Tyrek Hill, I'm still giving

0:29:09.960 --> 0:29:12.360
<v Speaker 1>an A. Vegas over under on him is seventy nine

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and a half. I think that he's the kind of

0:29:15.520 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 1>guy that could break the game open. He's the kind

0:29:18.680 --> 0:29:21.120
<v Speaker 1>of guy that and T. T Are said he's away

0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:23.560
<v Speaker 1>from Shrman, but he's the kind of guy that it's

0:29:23.600 --> 0:29:26.480
<v Speaker 1>just gonna take one play, and I think he's very

0:29:26.520 --> 0:29:29.440
<v Speaker 1>likely to get it. And I I weirdly trust Andy

0:29:29.520 --> 0:29:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Reid to be a little creative in this game. Well,

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's not weird, but I expect something creative,

0:29:34.920 --> 0:29:38.479
<v Speaker 1>and that would probably mean Tyreek Hill all right, and

0:29:38.600 --> 0:29:41.720
<v Speaker 1>any other of the wide receivers for the Chiefs even

0:29:42.040 --> 0:29:44.760
<v Speaker 1>get anything other than a bench grade for you, Okay,

0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:46.840
<v Speaker 1>they're all up. Um. You know, if I were in

0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:51.400
<v Speaker 1>if I were in Vegas and I'm looking for a

0:29:51.440 --> 0:29:55.480
<v Speaker 1>shock prop, you know, Nicole Hardman is is tempting on

0:29:55.680 --> 0:29:57.520
<v Speaker 1>something like first score of the game, where you could

0:29:57.520 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>probably get you know, fifty two one, uh, because he's

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:03.160
<v Speaker 1>another guy like Tyreek Hill that can be just the

0:30:03.200 --> 0:30:06.040
<v Speaker 1>game changing ability. He can turn a ten yard game,

0:30:06.080 --> 0:30:08.360
<v Speaker 1>he can turn the Janiard pass into a seventy yard touchdown,

0:30:08.400 --> 0:30:11.000
<v Speaker 1>because yeah, that's basically what he is. He's like you're

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:12.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna getting you can get an ad R touchdown on

0:30:13.040 --> 0:30:17.480
<v Speaker 1>or seven yard touchdown, or you can get zero catches. Yes,

0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:19.800
<v Speaker 1>yeah I wanna. I know his line is twenty four

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 1>and a half yards, but I wonder what some of

0:30:21.280 --> 0:30:23.720
<v Speaker 1>those other lines for him, like scoring a touchdown or

0:30:23.720 --> 0:30:26.440
<v Speaker 1>first score the games, because yeah, those could be uh

0:30:26.520 --> 0:30:28.880
<v Speaker 1>some pretty best. It's the best first score of the

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:31.600
<v Speaker 1>game I've ever hit, and I wonder what it looks

0:30:31.640 --> 0:30:37.000
<v Speaker 1>like here in this game was Aaron Rodgers in here's

0:30:37.000 --> 0:30:38.880
<v Speaker 1>about ten years ago a FC championship. I think it

0:30:38.920 --> 0:30:40.880
<v Speaker 1>was here they won the Super Bowl, and I picked

0:30:40.920 --> 0:30:42.440
<v Speaker 1>him to be first score the game and hit that

0:30:42.480 --> 0:30:44.600
<v Speaker 1>one in Vegas at an f S T A conference

0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and been a couple could have been the Giants one

0:30:47.240 --> 0:30:52.680
<v Speaker 1>and oh seven or oh maybe it was, I don't remember. Um,

0:30:52.720 --> 0:30:58.280
<v Speaker 1>but quarterback, the Vegas always materially underappreciates rushing quarterbacks and

0:30:58.360 --> 0:31:03.680
<v Speaker 1>quarterback rushing opportunity, and um right, it's not like you know,

0:31:04.440 --> 0:31:07.320
<v Speaker 1>all you need is a goal to go from the

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:11.480
<v Speaker 1>one and here comes your quarterback rushing touchdown. So Garoppolo

0:31:11.560 --> 0:31:13.600
<v Speaker 1>and even better mahmes, I'd love to I was gonna say,

0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:18.160
<v Speaker 1>how many Garoppolo rushing touchdowns are? Not a lot? Probably

0:31:18.560 --> 0:31:22.160
<v Speaker 1>probably just a couple. Okay. So then last letter grade

0:31:22.160 --> 0:31:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking for you from you is on Travis kiss

0:31:25.960 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 1>An that that that's it's a weird thing to say

0:31:29.880 --> 0:31:31.920
<v Speaker 1>with the Chiefs, that it's like three a's and then

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe you see for the running back and just nothing else. Yeah,

0:31:35.040 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 1>but you still expect them to somehow put up thirty

0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:41.000
<v Speaker 1>five points. You just can't trust or you know what,

0:31:41.160 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine points their average. Now you just can't trust

0:31:43.680 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 1>those other options, even though one of them is bound

0:31:46.040 --> 0:31:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to do something. No, I think you're right. Um, I

0:31:48.480 --> 0:31:50.640
<v Speaker 1>said earlier, at this stage, nine days out, I don't

0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:52.640
<v Speaker 1>know who's going to win. Do you have a Do

0:31:52.680 --> 0:31:54.800
<v Speaker 1>you have a lean or even a strong opinion on

0:31:54.800 --> 0:31:57.400
<v Speaker 1>who will win this game? Nope, not at all. I have.

0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I have gone back and forth so many times it's ridiculous.

0:32:01.800 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 1>And people you're probably listening to this can tell I

0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>feel that way. Like I feel like Andy Reid's offense

0:32:07.000 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 1>is going to figure something out. And I I loved

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:12.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, if it's a battle an offensive shootout, I

0:32:12.720 --> 0:32:15.120
<v Speaker 1>like the Chiefs. But that defense is so good that

0:32:15.240 --> 0:32:18.160
<v Speaker 1>I can see queen either way. I defense is so good.

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:21.160
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it is, it's really. I'm excited for this

0:32:21.200 --> 0:32:23.560
<v Speaker 1>game more than I have been in recent years for

0:32:23.560 --> 0:32:25.800
<v Speaker 1>for super Bowls. Like we said at the outset, this

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:29.400
<v Speaker 1>is the best possible super Bowl matchup, This is the

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 1>most this is the best NFC team, that's the most

0:32:31.960 --> 0:32:34.880
<v Speaker 1>interesting NFC team with the most different ways to win,

0:32:35.160 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 1>and this is the most ready to win a f

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:40.640
<v Speaker 1>C team. The right team's got to the end, and

0:32:40.680 --> 0:32:44.120
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't always happen. Didn't happen last year for that matter.

0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:45.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, if you don't have to go back far

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:49.280
<v Speaker 1>to career rushing touchdowns for it. Yes, I hit it

0:32:49.920 --> 0:32:52.320
<v Speaker 1>um and you know it at from the one yard line.

0:32:52.320 --> 0:32:54.840
<v Speaker 1>They'll still probably use their running backs because they do,

0:32:55.080 --> 0:32:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and so you know, Garppol would be really a shot

0:32:57.000 --> 0:33:01.560
<v Speaker 1>in the dark. But I bet Mahomes is if you see,

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:04.040
<v Speaker 1>if you can google this quickly, first player to score

0:33:04.080 --> 0:33:09.680
<v Speaker 1>prop I bet Mahomes is one first player to score,

0:33:10.360 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>first player to score, the first player to score. Let's

0:33:13.320 --> 0:33:15.880
<v Speaker 1>see to see if you how quickly you can google that. Well,

0:33:15.920 --> 0:33:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I've already got the touchdown props up. Let's see last

0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 1>touchdown score. Who cares about? Is weird? Alright? I got

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:29.920
<v Speaker 1>it up and it's taking longer to fund than I thought. Well,

0:33:29.960 --> 0:33:33.920
<v Speaker 1>it might not have been a reasonable request on demand. Yeah,

0:33:34.040 --> 0:33:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I just think there's I just think there's an angle here.

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:43.880
<v Speaker 1>M m yeah, maybe not. Yeah, I'm not finding it, okay, alright,

0:33:43.920 --> 0:33:46.000
<v Speaker 1>well it's not it's not a big deal. Maybe one

0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 1>of our listeners. We'll we'll tell us via Twitter. They

0:33:49.200 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 1>can find you at Scott Fish twenty four at Scott

0:33:54.800 --> 0:33:57.760
<v Speaker 1>Fish four. I am at Paul Charchy and you can

0:33:57.800 --> 0:33:59.520
<v Speaker 1>tweet us and let us know what is What is

0:33:59.560 --> 0:34:02.520
<v Speaker 1>the Patrick Mahomes odds to be first player to score?

0:34:02.880 --> 0:34:04.239
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if they break that down by

0:34:04.280 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 1>team or they just say in the game first player

0:34:06.160 --> 0:34:08.680
<v Speaker 1>to score in the game is you know, and it

0:34:08.680 --> 0:34:10.800
<v Speaker 1>could be players from either team or if it's first

0:34:11.440 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 1>chief to score will be Patrick Mahomes. And I found it? Okay,

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:19.640
<v Speaker 1>all right? What is it? Plus two plus two thousands? Alright?
