Speaker 2: rankings to starts and sits. The guys help you make

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: those hard decisions. And now let's get your flex. Sod

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: here's Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 3: Just when you thought Week one couldn't get any crazier,

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 3: the Ravens and Bills take the field. Welcome in. It

12
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 3: is I want your flex. He is Mike Carmon. Hit

00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 4: Isn't that correct?

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: Correct?

18
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 4: All right?

19
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: We'll get the blue Sky stuff later, but let's get

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 3: to the game that the game that everyone already Mike

21
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 3: is saying, the game of twenty twenty five Bills and Ravens.

22
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 3: What a night if you had any of the big

23
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: name players in that Sunda night affair that saw the

24
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 3: Bills rally from that fifteen point deficit to grab that

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: one point win.

26
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Just insanity all around, Like we had chaos all day long,

27
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: going back to the Thursday and Friday games, right this

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: guy carted off before snap one, spitting on Sunday we

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: got the green implement found its way to the National

30
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Football League. But the Unders were eleven and two. No

31
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:37,279
Speaker 1: worries in this one, as we had fireworks galore. Derrick Henry,

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: who was brilliant, has a fumble that gives breathes in life,

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen fantasy owners got to capitalize if you

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: started Dalton Kincaid, you got some love down the stretch,

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: Zay Flower, you name it. The Lamar Jackson scramble. That

36
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: might go down as one of the greatest plays not

37
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: on a video game system, that we've ever seen. So

38
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: just glorious all around. And hopefully folks didn't go to

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: sleep because that one started getting pretty laid into the night.

40
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: And I can imagine after a full day of football.

41
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you're still in preseason mode if you're

42
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: watching as a fantasy owner and watching the NFL. I mean,

43
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: that's a lot of football before that one, which gave

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: you an extra what forty five minutes of football. For

45
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: those final five minutes of action, it.

46
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 4: Was crazy, it really was.

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 3: And just when he thought that the Ravens had it,

48
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 3: they didn't and then the enda Derrek Henry fumble. Then

49
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 3: you get a stop and it was like the Bills

50
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 3: were perfect, and in fact, you can say that the

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: Bills were quite lucky. And that's kind of where I

52
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 3: want to go to one of their players, Keon Coleman,

53
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: And this is where I'm this is where I'm so

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: torn on Coleman because if you remember a couple of

55
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: years back when the Bills had Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis.

56
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 3: I guess they have Gabe Davis now, but you know

57
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: what I mean, when they were really the one too.

58
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: Well.

59
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 3: I was high on Gabe Davis because I just thought

60
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 3: I'll take him as a number two if we're playing

61
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 3: number twos across the league. Like I was all for

62
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: Gabe Davis, and he just didn't reach up to the

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 3: pro activity that I had wanted. Now we're sitting there

64
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: in Buffalo and we don't even know who the number

65
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: one is, but Keon Coleman showed it last night. Yet

66
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 3: you have the deflection that he ends up catching for

67
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: a touchdown, so that's his touchdown, but then he gets

68
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: tripped up at the end where he maybe could have scored. Like,

69
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 3: are we looking at Keon Coleman now like bona fide

70
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: w R one with this Bills team?

71
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think as we go forward, like it's also

72
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: a matter of I think a little bit of circumstance

73
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: to a degree, right, you're not going to get into

74
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: giant forty one forty shootouts, Although that defense we had

75
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: questions about it coming into the year, Dan, I mean

76
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: from the real football and fantasy purposes of what that

77
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: back seven would look like and what you might be

78
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: able to do a little slow, a little long in

79
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: the tooth and a little banged up. But for Keon Coleman,

80
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: you get to you of the eleven targets, you know,

81
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: and I think for Josh Allen it becomes the all

82
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: right outside of Kincaid if healthy and stuff in the

83
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: ball in the gut of James Cook. You're trying to

84
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: find guys that can be electric after the cat, and

85
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: certainly Coleman can. Yeah, getting tripped up down the end

86
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: again the fantasy versus reality split, right, It's like he's

87
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: gonna sprint to day lines like, no, he's tripped up. Well,

88
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: that's actually good for the Bills, but for fantasy owners,

89
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: that's another what seven and a half points that went

90
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: out the window for you there. But yeah, so I

91
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 1: would say from a target camp, I would fully expect

92
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: him to be the lead. Shakier is interesting, but he's

93
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: more the safety valve guy. Yes, Colman gets to be

94
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: that deep threat, that big pop for Josh Allen to

95
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: go get it, so I think he wins out.

96
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: I think we've seen enough of Khalil Shakira, and I

97
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: actually mean this in a positive way where we do

98
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: know his role. Like last year, we thought, well, who knows,

99
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 3: because he was the year prior where he was really

100
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 3: like the third option, but he ended up being the

101
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: most reliable option. And then because of the players that

102
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: they had leave after last year, including Stefan Diggs, the

103
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 3: aforementioned Stefan Diggs, we were wondering, all right, how is

104
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 3: this gonna work out in Buffalo? And Shakira is what

105
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: Seki is. But Josh Allen's gonna throw for thirty eight

106
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: hundred forty three hundred yards this year. Somebody's got to

107
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: catch him and it's probably gonna be key on Coleman.

108
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, what'll be interesting to see is game to game

109
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: because you also had nine targets for Josh Palmer coming over,

110
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: so you get a little bit of an equity. I mean, eleven,

111
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: nine and nine are the targets for those three guys

112
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: spreading the ball around against that Baltimore d And you know,

113
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: frantic comeback mode creates some strange opportunities along the way.

114
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 1: So you know, we'll figure out where, you know, the

115
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: the level really is after we get another game or

116
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: two under the belt, but certainly for waiver Wire purposes,

117
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: any of those guys I think needs to be stashed

118
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: at this point. If Josh Allen's the guy triggering the ball.

119
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 3: I'm not going to raise it to panic level. But

120
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 3: the last player I want to talk about in this

121
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: game was Mark Andrews. I mean, we can talk about Lamar,

122
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 3: we talk about Derek Henry and Josh all We're going

123
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: to play all those guys, we know we are, But

124
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,119
Speaker 3: I had Mark Andrews in a league one target, one catch,

125
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: five yards noisia likely. I know that the game flow

126
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 3: didn't necessarily go but this is a little reminiscent of

127
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 3: what we had last year in Buffalo.

128
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, disappointing on a number of levels. And yeah, game

129
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 1: flow as you say, with a big lead and the

130
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: run game playing so well. Unfortunately, you don't get any

131
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: points for blocking, right. We saw it in a bunch

132
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: of other games, like there were clear points where guys

133
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: got rewarded, like may Or for the Raiders, had a

134
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: couple of huge blocks early in the game. Guess whose

135
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,559
Speaker 1: number got called for pass pass targets later. We watched

136
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: that in the Thursday and Friday games. Go back to

137
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 1: Thursday when we were talking about Dotson getting a couple

138
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: of balls down the field, that was because he made

139
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: a couple of big blocks in the run game. So

140
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: we're seeing that, you know, we risk your body gets

141
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: some reward. Unfortunately from Mark Andrews, that did not translate

142
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: into fantasy goodness for this one. So and and I

143
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: guess that that would become a little more of the

144
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: concern going forward. Likely will be back, so you'll you'll

145
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: split whatever targets are there. But I think you know

146
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a lot of games where this is

147
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,119
Speaker 1: the script, right, how much can you get? Derek Henry,

148
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: they didn't even have Keaton Mitchell for this one, he

149
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: was down. You look overall twenty nine carries, the two

150
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight yards and three scores, Lamar Jackson

151
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: just fourteen completions. They just getting that, I think, I fear.

152
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean, and look, he's gonna get his rushing yards,

153
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: so you're gonna get your fantasy points. I mean, that's

154
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: gonna his thing will work. But for those the receiving corps, yeah,

155
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: I think it becomes a little more of a hand

156
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: ringing situation. DeAndre Hopkins had the touchdown reception, but wasn't

157
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he was two for two. I mean, so

158
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: you're you're talking about a receiving corps as a whole

159
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: that week to week is going to be riding the lightning.

160
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: I think Mark Andrews unfortunately, and not because of the drop,

161
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: because that immediately became he's still in the doghouse, Like

162
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: it's if he was still in the doghouse, they would

163
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: have cut his ass. Yes, okay, like if that's really

164
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: how how deep and penetrated that that was, then then

165
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: he would have been gone. So, I mean, he'll have

166
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: bigger days, but it might be a little more ride

167
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: the lightning kind of circumstance.

168
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: It's funny Baltimore the ball for about twenty five minutes

169
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: against Buffalo. That was not the case with the Lions

170
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 3: and Packers. The Packers only had the ball for twenty

171
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: five minutes in their game against the Lions, so the

172
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: Lions had possession quite a bit, they just didn't do

173
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 3: anything with it. Let's look at that game, Packers and Lions.

174
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 3: Green Bay gets the twenty seven to thirteen win. What

175
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 3: you're going to see on what you've saw in the

176
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 3: NFL network and Sports Center and everywhere is Micah Parsons

177
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 3: chasing down Jared Goff.

178
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: But what you're also then not seeing are.

179
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 3: Great plays by Jamior Gibbs, great place by David Montgomery,

180
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 3: great plays by Aman Ross Saint Brown. A clunker of

181
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: a game with the Lions. Do we chalk this up

182
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 3: to new coordinator, division rival or is there more concern

183
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: in Detroit?

184
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,199
Speaker 1: Well, what was interesting is there was the note that

185
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: was on the telecast as well that they had the

186
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: overriding senses of how they reported on the Lion's staff

187
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: that they were more excited that Kenny Clark was gone

188
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: than worrying about Micah Parsons. We talked about it after

189
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: the trade. I mean, Kenny Clark was a great player,

190
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: he at this point diminishing asset. But the fact that

191
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: that would have been an issue, well, okay, then that

192
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: meant you should have been able to run the ball right. Instead,

193
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: it's twenty carries for forty four yards. Nothing explosive. In

194
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: the past game, Jared Goff seemed off the I mean

195
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: he finished his thirty one to thirty nine, but his

196
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: the average depth of thrower was like four point two

197
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: yards or something per target, So not a lot in

198
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: the process. Good job by the Packers defense. So I

199
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: think maybe we go a little bit to the matchup

200
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: and say better days. But how fast does it rally

201
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: together for fantasy owners? Right?

202
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 4: Like that?

203
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: That's the bigger question. It's like from a straight football

204
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: the three of us, you know, analyzing the course of

205
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: the year, it's like, yeah, they got too many weapons,

206
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: they'll be okay, but week to week trying to figure

207
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: out when that explosiveness comes except for the obvious weeker teams, Yeah,

208
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough sledding and the new coordinator thing,

209
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you've had months to work together. I don't

210
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: know how much that plays anymore.

211
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 3: It's interesting because if you had Jami or gibbson a

212
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 3: PPR league did all right for you had ten receptions,

213
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: but you also weren't banking on the only nineteen yards

214
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 3: rushing in that contest. And then I mean, you talk

215
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: about game flow. They're down seventeen to three at the

216
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: end of the half, doesn't mean doesn't mean you need

217
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 3: to abandon the run, but it just wasn't there for them.

218
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:59,079
Speaker 3: And the Kenny Clark Micah Parsons comment, Mike, I don't

219
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 3: blame them for saying that, because I actually thought that

220
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: myself when the trade was done. I'm like, who you're

221
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 3: trying to beat in the NFC North Sure, Detroit will

222
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 3: if they had their druthers, would probably want to run

223
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 3: the ball. So how much will this affect? And all

224
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 3: the highlights were of Parsons and Parsons of the because

225
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: we were on the air, and the spots that I

226
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: saw was effective. But it seems that he was getting

227
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: quite the rave reviews on social media. The point is is,

228
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 3: I don't think that the lines were necessarily wrong. I

229
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: just don't know if you say that stuff out loud,

230
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: and now that becomes in the rematch when that can

231
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 3: be used for you know, fuel the fire. Maybe Detroit

232
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: will have a better plan, but it doesn't seem like

233
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 3: they committed to the run Jared Goffler at thirty nine

234
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 3: times and so if you don't have Kenny Clark, just

235
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: run the ball down their throats.

236
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: But well that's it, right, you end up going into

237
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: a short passing game. And I get it, you're down,

238
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 1: but you got two runners that are explosive, right, I

239
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: mean we've been talking the Sonic and Knuckles stuff all

240
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: the time. By the way, did you acknowledge your tribal

241
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: chief Roman Reigns like Micah Parsons did after his sack?

242
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: I did not. I missed it. I didn't even see it.

243
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: But I mean it is curious though, for the course

244
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: of this game, right, with those ten receptions, you end

245
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: up having a pretty good game in BPR leagues for

246
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: Jamior Gimes, like certainly not the explosiveness of those final

247
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: six to eight weeks of last year, but he's still

248
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: with Monday Night's game between the Bears and the Vikings,

249
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: Pending still ended up as a back end RB one

250
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: despite the struggle.

251
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:27,599
Speaker 4: Did he yell acknowledge me?

252
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 2: So?

253
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: My WWE depth of knowledge isn't great, but I know

254
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 3: that there is some acknowledging that needed to be going on.

255
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 4: Is that what we needed to do with Micah Parsons.

256
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: Well, I think they were really trying to sell you

257
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: on it as best you can. And I have to

258
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: wonder again though, but going back to the booth and

259
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: the Kenny Clark little admission, are those of the things

260
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to talk about. Like I understand that

261
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: once they run the trick play or the different formation

262
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: or whatever, you get to let the cat out of

263
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: the bag of Yeah, this was something they worked on

264
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: during the course of the week. They said they had

265
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: a special thing cooked up for player X whatever. But

266
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: something like that, shouldn't that still be under wraps?

267
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 4: Yeah? I think it's I didn't I didn't hear the comment.

268
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: I just read it in text when it was put

269
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: on social media, and I think that it was meant

270
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 3: to be a compliment to Kenny Clark. And when you

271
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: say it out loud, you like it probably came off

272
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: who whether it was Nance or Romo, I don't know

273
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: who said it, or Tracy Wolfson, whoever, whoever said it.

274
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: I'm sure it probably came out their tongue and they

275
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 3: wanted the words back because it sure does sound disrespectful,

276
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 3: and in a way, it kind of sounds flippant, right,

277
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 3: you know where I don't think that that's what the

278
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 3: Lions intended, I'm guessing, but it just sounded flippant to me.

279
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the thing, right, there was something you know,

280
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: even in the preseason the Fox telecast, when Greg Olsen

281
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: started letting out little things of what the coaches were

282
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: saying for plans for players and the Bears. It's like,

283
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of just filing in the back

284
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: that you're eventually going to see it, not that to

285
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: lay it out as so like that's the curiosity, right,

286
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: We're where's that curtain and when you pull it away?

287
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, for me, as Bear's guy, it's curious to

288
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: watch that part of the chess match unfold. I mean,

289
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: because remember Virginia mccaskey's last last football game she watched

290
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: was the Bears actually beating the Packers, So that means

291
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: we're due for another thirty year streak.

292
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 3: Well, I'll wrap up this Packers lines conversation this way.

293
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: Matthew Golden was thought to be the answer. In Green Bay,

294
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: Jordan Love had sixteen completions on Sunday to ten different receivers.

295
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 3: There wasn't a receiver that had more than three catches,

296
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 3: and that was only Jayden Reid. Jaden Reid led Green

297
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 3: Bay in receptions with three. Romeo Dobbs had the big

298
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 3: forty eight yard catch, but otherwise it was much of

299
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: the same in Green Bay with the wide receivers. Even

300
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: with Christian Watson still trying to come back, you had

301
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 3: Matthew Golden, the balls being spread around, and I don't

302
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 3: know in Green Bay if you're ever going to get

303
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: the production that you desire from a true WR one.

304
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: It looks like we're gonna have that night graphic again

305
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: where they need the second screen to show you how

306
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: many of receivers and running backs have caught for I

307
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: have gone for at least four hundred receiving yard. Yes,

308
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: it's such a you remember that graphic, right and final

309
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: couple weeks of the season. Look at the distribution.

310
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was put up as a good thing, and

311
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: I'm not sure if it was.

312
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think at some point you need that guy

313
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: that you say he can go get it. I'm still

314
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: waiting to figure out who that is. Although getting John

315
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and Saveon Williams into the box score is good

316
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: for business.

317
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 3: We're gonna go around the rest of the Week one

318
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: in the NFL and what happened on Sunday. It even

319
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: touch a little bit on Friday and Thursday as well

320
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 3: from what happened with the games. He's Mike Carmen, I'm

321
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 3: Dan Bayer, that's Ian Roddy. It's all up next year

322
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 3: and I want your flex. Let's take a look at

323
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 3: the rest of week one. He is Mike Carmen, I'm

324
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: Dan Bayer, that's Ian Roddy. This is I want your flex.

325
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: I will say, we don't even need to talk about

326
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 3: Thursday because we did in a previous pod Man. It

327
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: seems so long ago after the long weekend. That's what

328
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: Oasis does to you, Mike Harmon, that's oh was that show?

329
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: Did you rub elbows with any Luminaries? Because it seemed

330
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: like every other seed had somebody of great acclaim.

331
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: We were so high up we didn't have the opportunity to.

332
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: But it was still great to be in the building

333
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 3: and good for you. Yes, it was a great time.

334
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 3: Something a theme on the show that we had talked

335
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 3: about last year. Each of my picks were two an

336
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: Oasis song and we were able to come full circle

337
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: on Saturday.

338
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 5: Night, full circle moment.

339
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, I.

340
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: Tell you that I had envy. It was not one

341
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: of the bands that was on my short list right

342
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: of bands I listened to at their peak. But as

343
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: this tour started ramping up and you're getting more play

344
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: and getting back into it, and just the excitement around

345
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: the city as they were still getting ready to come

346
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: to this date, Dan, because I mean, I think there

347
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: were odds all over the world, at different odds makers

348
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: that they would never happen, and there it was. As

349
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: soon as they played a note, all those bets cast.

350
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: Yes, it was amazing. And they only played five dates

351
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 3: in the States. They played once in your home home

352
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 3: down of Chicago, two in New York, and then they

353
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: had two out here in LA and then they'll go

354
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 3: to Mexico and do some stuff in Asia and Australia

355
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 3: and South America as well.

356
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: So good stuff. Yes, like a great time.

357
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: Yes, it helped ease the pain of the dullness of

358
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 3: the Seahawks for me. On Sunday forty nine ers, though

359
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: Ricky Piersall showing to be the role that many had

360
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 3: hoped he would be in drafts Jackson Smith and Jigma.

361
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 3: For as bad as the Seahawks were, Jackson Smith in

362
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 3: Jigbot was at least a bright spot. And now there's

363
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 3: some questions about the Seahawks backfield on is it Zach

364
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 3: Scharbonay or is it Kenneth Walker. So some good and

365
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 3: some bad from that Niners went over the Seahawks.

366
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: Welcome to sharbon a time. I mean, one of those

367
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: guys that'll be a hot pickup on the waiver wire.

368
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: How he's on waivers, I don't know, but looking at

369
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: some of the reports nearly half of league's you can

370
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: go find Zach Charbonay ahead of the first waiver claims

371
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: of the new year. Twelve carries forty seven yards, the

372
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: touchdown Walker active a little in the past game. Not

373
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: much coming out from Sam Darnald in that one, which

374
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: had anybody that really didn't like Sam Donald because of

375
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: a game or two last year thumping their chests like

376
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: it's game one. It's a division opponent, it's a forty

377
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: nine er defense that we expected to be good. So

378
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: all of that with a grain of salt, does it

379
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: make you feel any better? So think more of the

380
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: Oasis songs you really sang along with Dan. But all

381
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: of that to say, yeah, I think Sharbonnay becomes that

382
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: guy Ricky Piersoll four for one oh eight. I'd like

383
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: that we now just call him second year receiver and

384
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: we don't have to talk about circumstances before he started

385
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: taking snaps last year. But Christian McCaffrey, the fact that

386
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 1: he had thirty one touches in this game, that's the

387
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: one that jumps off to me, right the twenty two

388
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,640
Speaker 1: carries sixty nine yards. But the fact that he did

389
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: have nine catches I felt slightly validated in my argument

390
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 1: of how his year would bank. And they do have

391
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: a big concern and that George Kittle leaves the game

392
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: well out to see how long that injury lingers. Because

393
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 1: while he is one of their key pass catchers for

394
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: for twenty five, did have the touchdown before departing. I mean,

395
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: we know about his run blocking efficiency. That's a huge

396
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: loss for that offense.

397
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 3: I'll tell you if Tanjas is just going to jump

398
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: ball everybody and steal footballs from the way of you know,

399
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: Terik Willen maybe the Niners would be Okay, a tenant.

400
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. I'm just bitter about Terrek Willen's defense.

401
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 3: Let's jump from that game to another team that won

402
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: in the NFC West. That was the Rams over the Texans.

403
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 3: Texans couldn't get into the end zone, had to settle

404
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: for field goals. When the Rams did get into the

405
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: end zone, it was Kyen Williams.

406
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 4: Again.

407
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 3: Most notable to me was how was Puka and Akua

408
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 3: and DeVante Adams gonna work out? Maybe kind of like

409
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 3: how we thought in the preseason, Puka obviously taking the

410
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: slot of WR one with Adams in Stafford maybe not

411
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: necessarily on the same page right away, but Puka kind

412
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 3: of stealing the show when it comes to receiving yards.

413
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: Well, we know in between the twenties, it becomes the

414
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: get the ball to him and make plays. They've got

415
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: that continuity, the consistency of route running and Adams second

416
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: half you started to see the shots come his way.

417
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's this whole season is predicated on Matthew

418
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: Stafford's back. As much as I love Jimmy Garoppolo because

419
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: he's a South sich Chicago guy and loves the White

420
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: Sox like me. But all of that say, you know,

421
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: and he's been there, he's done that, so the drop

422
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 1: off wouldn't necessarily be the same as for so many

423
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: other tenuous situations for backups across the league. But the

424
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: fact that Kyron Williams out touched from the running game

425
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: perspective Blake corm eighteen to one was a little surprising, right,

426
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff this offseason that perhaps, even after

427
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: getting paid, they'd now, you know, make sure that Williams

428
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: was not carrying too much of an early season load.

429
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 5: Stafford had more cars. Stafford had more carries than Cool.

430
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: No, that's right, right, or for his minus too, that's

431
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: that's a good goal being But yeah, that's which, which

432
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: is something you never want to see in a box

433
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: score with Matthew Stafford, get down, get down. Hopefully you

434
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: know they all count when they're Neil Dance. But for

435
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: Nikua picking up right where he left off when healthy,

436
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: remains that highly targeted, highly efficient option. I think that's

437
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: the thing that that we take away from there. It's

438
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: not always going to be massive gains, but you get

439
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: ten catches PPR gold.

440
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: They should just tally Stafford stats and feet instead of

441
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 3: yards because he's only going to go so far.

442
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 4: Unfortunately tall is what is he like six three?

443
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: So we get two yards plus.

444
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, the Texans didn't go anywhere. If you had Nico Collins,

445
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: he was a disappointment. We did get the sense there

446
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 3: was more Nick Chubb than anybody else, So it seems

447
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 3: like Nick Chubb is the guy, not necessarily Damian Pierce

448
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 3: or Wood he marks digging into that. It is weak

449
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 3: one of but at least it gives us a little

450
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 3: bit early barometer.

451
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 4: CJ.

452
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 3: Stroud throwing a lot to the tight ends in that contest,

453
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 3: but at some point Nico Collins is going to break out.

454
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rams defensive front did the job as you would

455
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: expect here. I didn't expect fireworks from the Texans offense

456
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: certainly did not expect the slugfest we got here. I

457
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: thought we'd get a little bit more activity. But look,

458
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: as long as it's close late, because what all but

459
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: like maybe two or three games, I don't have this

460
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: slate in front of me of final scores. But I

461
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: mean everything was close late, so we got some fantastic finishes.

462
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: And it's also a reason where a lot of people

463
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: are fighting to get rid of kickers in fantasy football.

464
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: Well, and I'll also say this, at least with the

465
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: Denver Broncos in their win against the Titans, you had

466
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: that backfield.

467
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 4: Dobbins ends up scoring the big touchdown for them, but R. J.

468
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: Harvey ended up having the big run for them for

469
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 3: fifty yards. Courtland Sutton ended up being the main guy.

470
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 3: Not too much surprised. With Denver and with the Titans

471
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: you were likely only playing Pollard anyway, maybe some Calvin Ridley.

472
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: Ridley got a lot of targets, so hopefully if you

473
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 3: have Calvin Ridley, that'll pay off that cam Ward was

474
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 3: looking for him a lot yesterday.

475
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, they also have to secure the ball,

476
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 1: so we'll order some Stickham gloves.

477
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

478
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: Right, at least four that you would count. Well, I

479
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: mean as a team, that's not terrible. I mean that

480
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 1: just ties ceed lamb ah too soon. But all in all,

481
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: on both sides for cam Ward and for bow Nicks.

482
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: And then bow Nicks struggled twenty five of forty for

483
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 1: his one to seventy six touchdown to two. Right, everybody

484
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 1: wanted to crown. I'm like, no, there's some growing pains

485
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee hung around. Was it pretty No? A lot of sacks,

486
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: tons of turnovers in this game. But to your point,

487
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, we keep waiting for him to be the

488
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 1: guy certainly fits the profile, so perhaps he gets to

489
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: rise up. And Tony Pollard, I think is going to

490
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: be for fantasy owners that went and grabbed him as

491
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: an RB two, I think you're gonna be pretty happy

492
00:23:59,280 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: with that. Weekly.

493
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: He is Mike Carmen. I'm Dan Byer. That's Ian Roddy,

494
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 3: our executive producer. Time for another time out here, and

495
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 3: I want your flex. When we come back, we'll give

496
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 3: our report cards, what we hit and what we missed

497
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 3: on for the week plus, we'll each highlight something from

498
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 3: the early games that we thought stand out that could

499
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 3: help you in your fantasy quest to victory. That's next

500
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 3: here and I want your flex. We'll give our report

501
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 3: cards here and what we hit and maybe what we

502
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 3: missed on. But he's Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Byer, that's

503
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: Ian Roddy. Guys, what stood out for you in the

504
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 3: early window of the slate in week one. Mike, I'll

505
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 3: start with you some outcomes that we're surprising, some not

506
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 3: so surprising. What stood out for you in that early

507
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 3: window of Week one, Well, I.

508
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: Think that the fact that we had and I alluded

509
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: to it a little early back in segment one, was

510
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: just the fact that the Unders were hitting and you

511
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: know where you don't expect Chris play all around, but

512
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: perhaps you expect more jail breaks in terms of mistackles,

513
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,399
Speaker 1: slip tackles to where we get some extra points tacked on,

514
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: and opportunities that didn't happen a Week one, we saw

515
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: a lot of these offenses look a little bit disjointed,

516
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: like it was truly a first game. I don't know,

517
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: do we have it, Do we get an argument for

518
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: another preseason game where guys are forced to play contractually,

519
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. But all of it to say, you know,

520
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 1: when we look at the final stat lines to thing,

521
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: I mean, Ian, I'm just gonna steal your guy, So

522
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: think of something else. I mean, justin fields, the justin fields,

523
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. We were supposed to have paint drying, and

524
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: we got one of the most entertaining games the day

525
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: right with both of those guys coming in fields heading

526
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: into Monday night. Football is the number two quarterback and

527
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers has to figure out how to make every

528
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: week a revenge game.

529
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 3: So right, so much so that it makes us question

530
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 3: the Steelers defense. Now now I'm like, are they too old?

531
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 3: This is what we've got it again. It's week one.

532
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 3: Not meant to disrespect Justerer Fields or the Jets, but

533
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 3: I thought he would have a tough time with.

534
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 4: It, and it was anything but well.

535
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: Cam Hayward got his extra money by complaining I gotta

536
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: feed my family.

537
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 3: And he was on the field. He was on the

538
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: field on Sunday. So yes, the will see was all

539
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 3: all part of the deploy I'll tell you what stood

540
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 3: out for me was not to pat myself on the back.

541
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 3: But I just told you that I liked Michael Pennix.

542
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 3: And Pennix ends up only throwing for one touchdown but

543
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 3: has near three hundred yards and the Buccaneers shut down

544
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 3: the Falcons running game. And another people that want Beijon

545
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 3: Robinson to get thirty two carries a game, I don't

546
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: think that that's their goal. I think it's he's going

547
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: to get twenty. You know, it's twenty five touches a game, right,

548
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 3: whether they come in the receiving game where the rushing game,

549
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 3: is it gonna matter? And that's about where he was.

550
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 3: He had seven targets, had six receptions, and then the

551
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: twelve carries. It was the Rake London commitment that was

552
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: pretty amazing. Fifteen targets for the Falcons. They only have

553
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: massed fifty five yards on those fifteen targets on the

554
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 3: eight catches. But this is kind of the Falcons that

555
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 3: I thought that we would see Mike. I didn't think

556
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 3: that we would see this ground and pound of Bijean

557
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: and Algier. I thought they would be throwing the football more.

558
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 3: And game script, I know allows, especially in the late

559
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 3: couple of minutes when you're trying to put points on

560
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 3: the board, it does alter things, but I didn't think

561
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 3: that this was altered as much. And in a game

562
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 3: against the division rival, to have your second your quarterback

563
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 3: do what he did, I think is a good sign

564
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 3: for people who have Falcons shares moving forward.

565
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I would agree, all right, And you even got

566
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: some love for Kyle Pitts. Didn't find the end zone? Right,

567
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: You get seven catches for fifty nine yards in a

568
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: look in the league where we're looking at tight ends

569
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: and for fantasy purposes, right, there's a lot more of

570
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,640
Speaker 1: the All right, we'll use the tight end and we'll

571
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: just pair him up as a flex with other another

572
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver, because there's so few that you say, hey,

573
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: week to week, are going to go and get shares. Well,

574
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: Penix was saying he was going to work with Kyle

575
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: Pitts at least for week one. Wasn't a liar and

576
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: spread the ball around pretty well. And I think you're right,

577
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: we're not going to see them rely on ground and pound.

578
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: You got guys that can go out and get it downfield.

579
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 5: Uh.

580
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: And for Drake London owners, you're feeling pretty good because

581
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: he's going to try to force the ball his way

582
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 1: time and again. So uh yeah. And our our guy

583
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: Raray McLeod got his three catches for five yards and

584
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: eventually Mooney comes back. Think about those four wides. That's

585
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun little thing to watch, a little

586
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: air raid kind of system with Penix at that the

587
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: con they did lose their right tackle though, but going

588
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: into the season, so that's uh, that's one of those

589
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: things you're a little nervous about.

590
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 4: In Tampa Bay. I mean a mecha abuca.

591
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, all the hype that that he had lives up

592
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: to it with the two touchdowns and and clutch touchdown

593
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 3: as well. At the end, I was ready for Mike

594
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 3: Evans to have a huge, huge game and the Buccaneers

595
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: didn't have that in the air, but Abuka lived up

596
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 3: to all expectations by cashing in on the two scores.

597
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 5: The more of a reputation that Abuka gets over the weeks,

598
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 5: that should honestly open up things for Evans as well

599
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 5: to start to pay more attention to him.

600
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 3: Abukah just in watching him through college, and I know

601
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: we've talked about this on the pod before, but he

602
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 3: came in and he was the prime guy. He was

603
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 3: the five star wide receiver at Ohio State. And then

604
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: Marvin Harrison Junior comes along and develops into the receiver

605
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: that he was, so Abuka takes second fiddle.

606
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 4: And then mhj. Hens heads to the NFL.

607
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: So you're like, all right, it's a BUCA show and

608
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: here comes this all world freshman Jeraldmia Smith in and

609
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 3: he becomes WR one. So Abuka has the game and

610
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: he proved it in the NFL. But it's just funny

611
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 3: and how the college career came out that he always

612
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 3: kind of settled down to the WR two kind of

613
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: guy just because of the extreme talents of the other guys.

614
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 1: Pretty crazy, big day for Ohio State Buckeys across the board.

615
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: You know, go ahead with your guy.

616
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 5: I thought Tyler Warren for the Colts was awesome call for.

617
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 5: He didn't even have a touchdown and he already put

618
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 5: up a fourteen point day for PPR leagues.

619
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: I didn't even curse about him.

620
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 5: I was excited because I've been trying to get him

621
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 5: anywhere I can, just because of how late he's gone

622
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 5: in drafts. Man, it was just nice to see that

623
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 5: that vindication payoff. He was the top target there for

624
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones, who always loves throwing to tight ends, so

625
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 5: it doesn't look like that's gonna stop. And then DJ Giddens,

626
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 5: their rookie running back. He is obviously still gonna be

627
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 5: second fiddle to Jonathan Taylor, but he did get twelve carries,

628
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 5: which obviously part of that is because they were, you know,

629
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 5: pitching such a blowout over the Dolphins. But it's good

630
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 5: to know that if something were to happen to Taylor,

631
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 5: we know who the backup is.

632
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 3: Here's the tricky part is the Daniel Jones vultures now

633
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 3: at the goal line, like where we thought, not that

634
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 3: we wouldn't think it could. Because the alternative is Anthony Richardson,

635
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 3: you'd think it would be the same thing. But when

636
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 3: you turned to Daniel Jones, I felt that that moved

637
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor stocked up just because not that Jones isn't

638
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: a threat running. We know he's big, we know that

639
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 3: he can run. It's that we just figured that Richardson

640
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 3: would be much more of the guy with a football

641
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 3: in his hands, and it would just be less the

642
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 3: case with Daniel Jones. But in their two short yarded spots,

643
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 3: Jones quarterback sneaks And honestly, I don't know how many

644
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: games the Colts are gonna have like this. So I

645
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: have some shares in Jonathan Taylor. I'm a little bit

646
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 3: concerned because this is the opportunity high right now. Yeah,

647
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: where you make a like this is and Daniel Jones

648
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 3: steals your thunder by getting two touchdowns.

649
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was a little disappointed.

650
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: Well, and they get a Week two matchup against a

651
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: ticked off Denver squad. Yeah, Denvers got the w but

652
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: it was not a pretty pretty game. The other thing

653
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: you know, with Daniel Jones, it was funny his over

654
00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: under for rushing yards was twenty nine and a half,

655
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: finishes with twenty six and the two scores people licking

656
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: bills thinking, n he's gonna just scramble one more time

657
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: to kill clock and whatever's like, Nope, you didn't get it. Conversely,

658
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: just stay on the other side of that matchup really fast.

659
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: Where's Tyreek Hill playing? By week eight? Who takes on

660
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: some of that contractor how much does Miami eat to

661
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: start blowing that stuff?

662
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 5: I mean his old team, the Chiefs, just lost worthy

663
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 5: for the you know, foreseeable future.

664
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, could be.

665
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 3: I I don't know any other team that would be

666
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 3: able to that would be able to take it on

667
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill and think it's going to work out great.

668
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 3: This is you know what actually, this is what. This

669
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 3: is what I probably envisioned. The Eagles are like, you

670
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 3: want a fifth round, you know, we'll give you a

671
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 3: fifth round pick the offense like sure, and then we're

672
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 3: like Tyreek Hill goes to the Eagles and then we're like, man,

673
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: Ali Roseman's a genius, Like doesn't that all this always

674
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: works out?

675
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: That does sound? That sounds like a good scenario. It's like,

676
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: play that preemptive. I don't need the picks. Like, let's

677
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: just keep this train rolling as best we can. Uh,

678
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: and you know, to make it fit under the cap.

679
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: Here's a tree job. But let's just learn from the end.

680
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 3: Yes, Kansas City trees and bushes, that's what I will say,

681
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 3: or Philadelphia trees and bushes, which whichever place he wants

682
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: to go. I will bring up this point on my

683
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: points at Palooza, I had Jacksonville and the Panthers. I

684
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 3: think my ticket is void because of the weather delay.

685
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 3: What do you guys think, Like it completely disrupts the

686
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 3: rhythm of the game.

687
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 4: We'll give you all so.

688
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I mean the rhythm is gonna get you

689
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: one way or another, and in.

690
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: This case is yeah, it did and it got me

691
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 3: last night. Not like Gloria Stefan, but it was. It

692
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 3: was a little frustrating because the Jaguars did have Traves

693
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: etn breakout and he ends up he has a big

694
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 3: seventy one yard round.

695
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 4: I think this is what happens in Week one.

696
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 3: I think just out a gas it could have had

697
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: a ninety yard touchdown run, but it ended up getting

698
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: caught from behind, But the Jaguars and the Panthers were

699
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 3: my points of palooza pick. They probably weren't gonna top

700
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 3: the eighty one put together by the Bills and Ravens,

701
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 3: even if they didn't have the weather delay. But Jacksonville

702
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 3: did put twenty six up on the board. He had

703
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 3: some interesting numbers come in Travis et and I mentioned

704
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 3: his one hundred and one and forty three yards rushing.

705
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,439
Speaker 3: He also had three catches in thirteen yards. Travis Hunter

706
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: six catches thirty three yards in his debut on eight targets.

707
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: So Jacksonville was interesting. But I'm calling a void on

708
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: my points of palooza.

709
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,919
Speaker 1: I dig that. Let me go to the good, the bad,

710
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: the ugly. Let's go to the wide receivers. Let's stay

711
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: in that game. Brian Thomas found the end zone as

712
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: a rushing attempt one for nine yards in that score,

713
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: but only one catch on seven targets for eleven yards.

714
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:54,280
Speaker 1: So one of those hand ringing moments because right alongside

715
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: him and my wide receiver rankings with the elike neighbors,

716
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: who's already fighting with the coach, which is great. And

717
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson has been affirmed as the starter for week two.

718
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,359
Speaker 1: But the verbiage is not exactly a hefty endorsement. So

719
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: anybody that wants to go stash Jackson Dart, if you

720
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: haven't already, I think you'll see the field sooner rather

721
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,399
Speaker 1: than later. Go back to the Friday game. I mean,

722
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: and we were texting back and forth on this guy's

723
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: I mean, Justin Herbert was magnificent, clean pocket. Spagnola's got

724
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: to figure out something in terms of generating a pass

725
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: rush because this was supposed to be the weak spot

726
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 1: of the Chargers with Slater down that that offensive line

727
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 1: could be had. He was clean all night, and then

728
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: you get the infighting at the end because of taking

729
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: the inside route and giving him a nice, easy running

730
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: lane to ice things on a third and fourteen. But

731
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: all that to say Quentin Johnston in year three making

732
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: it work, all the reports of what Keenan Allen's meant

733
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: to him and pushing him to that next level and

734
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: watching them just pull the strings all of a sudden,

735
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert for fantasy purposes, the last couple of years

736
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,439
Speaker 1: has been a disappointment. Maybe we get another breakout out

737
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: of that. So he was on my cold source. So

738
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 1: I felt like a dope watching that. Stafford was on

739
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: there take the win. We look at Justin Fields, who

740
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 1: was one of our hot plays. A W there. Drake

741
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: May finishes is fifteen, so I guess in desperate mode,

742
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: big leagues and guillotine leagues, he played okay, just kidding.

743
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 1: Pennix was on the Ninja list. He gets it done

744
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: some of the Abuco was one of the guys we

745
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: talked about quite a bit, and then I cursed when

746
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: I had the Freudian slip about Daniel Jones. So I'm

747
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: taking a w there. Bo Nix was on my top five.

748
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: He failed me miserably, as did Joe Burrow. Dan You

749
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 1: and I had some sidebar conversations about that game of

750
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,759
Speaker 1: the Battle for Ohio and how that one played out.

751
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: I really thought we'd get one of those throwbacks to

752
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: two thousands Evan, where we're just winging the ball around

753
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: that neither defense would be able to get anything done,

754
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 1: and instead it comes down to a kicker missing an

755
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: attempt for a win but low scoring game. We get

756
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 1: no heroes out of that. McCaffrey with the big total,

757
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: he was on the fringe of the top five. Derrick

758
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: Henry and Bijon Robinson won two. As we wait for

759
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: Monday Night football, I just had them inverted. Derrick Henry

760
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 1: just ahead of Robinson here as we get going. So

761
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: some wins, some good, some bad, some ugly. But it's

762
00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: week one and it made for a lot of strange

763
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: bedfellows and great narratives to pull pull forward.

764
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 4: How did the streaming defenses work out? Ian?

765
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: So?

766
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 5: I mean, well, we're just gonna get the bad one

767
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 5: out of the way. First. The Dolphins, lesson learned, were

768
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 5: not touching that defense again for the rest of the year. God,

769
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 5: that was so bad to Daniel Jones. They gave up

770
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 5: a perfect day essentially. He went seven for seven on

771
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 5: touchdown drives.

772
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: Right, Well, that's just it, right, I mean that that's

773
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: the other part that came out of that was wait,

774
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: that hasn't been done and Daniel Jones puts his.

775
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,919
Speaker 5: Threat right, Yeah, so did not see that one coming.

776
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 5: They ended up getting you minus three fantasy points, allowing

777
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 5: thirty three points. They did get a sack, which save

778
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 5: you a little bit. Anyway, we're putting that in the

779
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 5: rear view, not touching that defense again. But the Cardinals,

780
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 5: they they had a pretty good day. They got you

781
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 5: four fantasy points only allowing thirteen points and got a

782
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 5: sack as well. The Rams were the best of the three.

783
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 5: I gave you guys nine points, allowed one interception, one

784
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 5: fumble recovery, and they got three sacks on the day

785
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 5: on CJ. Stroud as well. So decent week again not

786
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 5: touching the Dolphins again. But if you subtract that, it

787
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 5: was a pretty good week for defense.

788
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you this. I to wrap up this pod.

789
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 3: Ian Mike has the best story of how his Week

790
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,479
Speaker 3: one went. Yeah, wait to hear what happened to Ian

791
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:48,359
Speaker 3: on Sunday night.

792
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 5: So yeah, in Mike and one of my not one

793
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 5: in my my main home league with some of my

794
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 5: buddies from back in high school. I was playing, you know,

795
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 5: maybe my best friend and we came down to the

796
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 5: Bills defense for him, which lost him two points and

797
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 5: I won the matchup by less than two points.

798
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: Wow.

799
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 4: Yeah the output.

800
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,880
Speaker 1: Is there a guy with a minimal effort like a

801
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: two point eight points, then we can kind of a

802
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: trading card. I can't to send him.

803
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 5: He started Xavier Worthy, who ended up Travis Kelcey. Thank you,

804
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 5: Travis kelce you won me my.

805
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: Fast send him a wedding press. Yeah.

806
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 4: God, he should have started Houston oiler's defense.

807
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 3: He would have been Yeah, that would have got him more. Hey,

808
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: it's a good omen for week one. You'll take it

809
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 3: when you can get it.

810
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah it, Yes, sir, succeed in proceed The old

811
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,320
Speaker 1: John Caliperry line always rings true.

812
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 3: My Survivor pick was Pittsburgh and they did prevail thanks

813
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 3: to sorry Ian but thanks to Chris Boswell's leg.

814
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 4: It's all right.

815
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 5: At least there's a silver lining.

816
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,359
Speaker 3: Yes, not a lot of upsets for Survivor this week.

817
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,799
Speaker 3: I told you Dolphins Colts was a coin flip heading

818
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 3: into the game. It was anything but when we as

819
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 3: we just talked about in the game. So if you're

820
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 3: on the Colt side of things, probably ahead of the

821
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 3: game a little bit.

822
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we went predicted upsets, you and I Dan,

823
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: I and I know we talked about some things of

824
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: like wishing, wanting, hoping. Only two actual upsets according to

825
00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: the betting line, and both of those were fewer than

826
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 1: three points in terms of a point spread, so you

827
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 1: had a little bit of that. I get to revel

828
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 1: in the Jets defeat by the serial killer as Mike

829
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: Tomlin called him. That was the line he used on

830
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 1: Chris Boswell. I don't know how well that play is over.

831
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 5: Do you think he was trying to tell us something?

832
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 5: Was that him sending us a message? It was a

833
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 5: cry for help? Our kicker is a serial killer?

834
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 3: Well, I hope he's it in week two because the

835
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 3: Seahawks come to town. So hopefully they don't take the

836
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 3: Seahawks down to zero and two. The DK Metcalf revenge

837
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 3: game something I'll look forward to. We were in our

838
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 3: next episode. We'll look a little bit ahead to week

839
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 3: two and some of the storylines. Mike mentioned it, Giant

840
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 3: sticking with Russell Wilson. We'll see how that plays out.

841
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 3: And yeah, Michael will get you through. I'm sure you

842
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 3: won't have any venting to do after the Monday night

843
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 3: game between the Bears and Vikings, but we'll get your

844
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 3: take off.

845
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 4: Of that one as well.

846
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: Oh, the chaos ensues. I mean, you want to talk

847
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: about narratives from a local and national level for a

848
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,919
Speaker 1: referendum on everybody's lives after one game. And this goes

849
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: either way, right, because if JJ McCarthy doesn't play well,

850
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: they'll go they'll be after him too, So's it's a

851
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: it's a game that really gives us so many storylines

852
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: that we get to do on the next.

853
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 3: Pot Our midweek episode of I Want Your Flex. So

854
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 3: for Ian, Roddy and Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Beyer. Hopefully

855
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 3: I got a win in week one, and if not,

856
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 3: we'll try to get you on that winning track in

857
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 3: week two.

858
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 4: Talk to you that
