1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: You are tuned about Drive on Home of the Black 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: and Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back to the Drive. 3 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: I m Dale Lally here with Matt Williamson, and it 4 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: is time for the Fantasy Football Focus. And I thought 5 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: we changed things up a little bit here, Matt. I 6 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: had fun last week doing our Thursday night lineup. So 7 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: here's what we're gonna do. It's a good game tonight. 8 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: It is a good game tonight. I think everybody's gonna 9 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 1: watch it. So let's do a little different group here. 10 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna do a little uh, the the single game, 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: captain's single game. Yeah, so you gotta pick a captain's 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: uh he gets one and a half times two points. 13 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: This is on draft Kings. We're doing a five up. 14 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: It can be a quarterback. Quarterbacks very expensive to do that. Um, 15 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: if you're doing your captain is a quarterback. Uh. The 16 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: and then you get everybody else you get was a 17 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: five flexues. You have to pick six players, five of 18 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: them reflections in your quarter your tight ends if you want, 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: you could. Yeah, the captain's seat is more expensive, but 20 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,559 Speaker 1: they their points kind of for one and a half 21 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: times as much. So the most expensive player tonight is 22 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: your strategy, get your captain first. I don't know. Okay, 23 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: I thought I know what your experience wasn't I've done 24 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: this a couple of times. I haven't. I haven't exactly 25 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: mastered Diskay, let's go through some prices then, so if we, 26 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: if we, let's I do not. I don't either, is 27 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: Waddle is Jamar Chase is the most expensive player to 28 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: put in Again, this is the same. So we still 29 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 1: have fifty thou dollars to spend here. So if you 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: put Jamar Chase in the captain's seat, it's sixteen five 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: and all these points for one and a half times. Okay, 32 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hills six, It doesn't have to be a court. 33 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: Can you start two quarterbacks? You can start both quarterback 34 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: chairs expensive? Yeah, Tyreek Hill is sick teen two, Jalm 35 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: Waddle is fifteen three, Joe Burrow is fourteen four. In 36 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: the captain's chair. That's actually a bargain for a quarterback 37 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: in the cabinet. I bet it's always the usually number 38 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: one there, usually number one. Um, yeah, two is fourteen one. Okay, 39 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: if they throw like they have, that might be a call. 40 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: Joe Mixing is thirteen five. Hasn't done much, but that's 41 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: kind of appealing. Teddy Bridgewater is twelve six. If you 42 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: want to head your bets, no spend that much money 43 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: on a player that doesn't go on the field. Tee 44 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: Higgins is twelve three. I was gonna say, why Isn'thiggins 45 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: been mentioned yet? Somaj p Ryan is eleven one. Interesting 46 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: with the mixing situation. We talked about that in segment 47 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: one that I don't know the mixing gets a full workload. 48 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd is ten five, Chase Edmonds nine three. The 49 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: mos started been thing is not clear at all. A 50 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: bunch of backup quarterbacks. We're not gonna look at Hayden 51 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: Hurst is one hundred. This is not bad, but we 52 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 1: don't have to start a tight end. We don't know. 53 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: The Dolphins are thirty against supposing tight ends this year. 54 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 1: I know it's not a bad matchup. Gisicki is seven five. 55 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: He doesn't Raheem Mostard is six hundred. Might pencil that 56 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: went in. I mean he might be the starter. I 57 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: think he's the goal line guy. Correct Edmund's got a goale. 58 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: The Dolphins defense is six thousand. Is the cat in 59 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: the captain's chair. I mean they're they're gonna get facts. 60 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: Man about yeah. Uh. Then you have the two kickers 61 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: there two different list. These are all yeah this, these 62 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: are these are just the captain prices. When we go 63 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: to the flex prices will be different. I'm interested in 64 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: the Dolphins d thole. Jason Sanders is fifty seven hundred. 65 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: M what if it? Kickers are smart. McPherson is fifty 66 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: four hundred. They're gonna get point, They're gonna get points. 67 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: The Bengals defense is hundred. I would take Miami's over you, like, 68 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: who's your number one captain there? I kind of like 69 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,600 Speaker 1: Higgins a little bit. Choice all three because it's cheap, 70 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: but he could have a big game, especially if if 71 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: Howard does play and he follows Chase, I mean Higgins 72 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: and one could shut out. They love Higgins, He's really good. 73 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: Let's pencil him in there and see what that does. 74 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: That leads us with thirty seven d okay, So Chase 75 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: is then goes down his salary then for a flex 76 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: spot is eleven thousand. No, we put we can't use 77 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: Higgins in the captain's share and the flex Higgins yeah, 78 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: Higgins is are yeah, So Chase is eleven thousand, Tyreek 79 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: Hill is ten eight, Waddle is ten to. Burrow is 80 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: nine six k Burrow burrowed to Higgins, Yeah, twa is 81 00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: nine four. Okay, Mixing is nine thousand. Let's skip over Bridgewater. 82 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: P Rhin is seventy four hundred, Tyler Boyd seven thousand, 83 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds. What about this strategy real quick? What if 84 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: we threw McPherson in. McPherson is thirty dollars. Okay, just 85 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: give us that gives us an average for our final 86 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: four spots. That's a lot if we If we go 87 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 1: ahead and put either the Dolphins defense or Jason Sanders 88 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: in there, we can then we can load up. Which 89 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: do you prefer? I think do you think this is 90 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,119 Speaker 1: a shootout, that's the question. My worry is the fourth 91 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: quarter just belongs to the Bengals and the we're not 92 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: happy about Miami's d and they're all beat up in 93 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: But then if that's true, Sanders isn't gonna kicking field 94 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: goals either. Then you put the Bengals defense in because 95 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 1: they are just thirty reader. Yeah, that would make a 96 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: big difference. And I don't trust them to get sacks. 97 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: I trust Burrow to take Sacks. I think we put 98 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,839 Speaker 1: Miami's d in. Okay, that's just four thousand dollars that 99 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: leads us and ten thousand dollars on average to spend 100 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: for our final three spots. Can we get anybody want? Then? 101 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: Pretty we could get both quarterbacks at that money. I 102 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: think we should. Okay, I don't disagree, and that leaves 103 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: us in eleven five. We can actually afford Chase if 104 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: we want then to out there. Yeah, and we have 105 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 1: five left over. H Do you prefer Tyreek or Chase? Though? 106 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: If you don't, if you don't know the prices. What 107 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: Tyreek has been talking a lot of trash this week. 108 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he because of last year's uh NFC championship 109 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: and he got stopped at the goal line. So he's 110 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: been barking about Eli Apple and then the rest of 111 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,040 Speaker 1: the Pigels secondary said, we got we got Apples back, 112 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,799 Speaker 1: and well what would we do with the extra money? 113 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: It sounds like we're gonna have this issue either way 114 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: that we're gonna have a little chunk of change to 115 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: deal with if we put I think Tyreek and Chase 116 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: are like the same, and I know Tyreek is cheaper. 117 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: I don't know how much. But you know he's cheaper. 118 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: He is uh cheaper. Okay, So if we put Tyreek 119 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: in that last spot and upgraded over the Dolphins, d okay, 120 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: does that get us? Like I kind of like to 121 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: get p Rhan in the list? I don't think that's 122 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: going to get us p Rhan, But let me see 123 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: here that would get us for him most that wouldn't 124 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: be bad. I don't know if i'd rather most of 125 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: the Evans most are fits Edmunds, the most are plays 126 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 1: more snaps. He fits the system better too, and just 127 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: making more money and that still leaves just three dollars over. 128 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: But he ruins one I would have liked to gotten in. 129 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: I think he might have a bigger role as you 130 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier than most weeks. But that's not bad. Yeah, 131 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: if if you know right now, um, is there anybody 132 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: you're looking at the boy? I can't believe we don't 133 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: have him in the lineup that you want hunt p 134 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: Rhme was sevred so we weren't going to get that. Um. 135 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: I bet that's more expensive than he usually would be. 136 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: You think Joe Mixing at oh we got mixing? How 137 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: did we get mixed in the line up in nine thousand, 138 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: and I screw something up. I must hit the wrong 139 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: button we had were to have we got Tyreek Hill Burrow. 140 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: I hit Mixing instead of ta quarterbacks. Well, we can't 141 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: afford TOA is hundred. We have ninety. But what move 142 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: did we do with that mostart move? That was the 143 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 1: Dolphins defense at four thousand? We could go to Jason 144 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: Sanders thirty eight hundred, and then we could get actually 145 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 1: we could get a four thousand. We would still have 146 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,599 Speaker 1: ninety seven hundred left and we could get to a 147 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: then we have three hundred left. Okay, good thing. I 148 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: saw that. Any of those get us p Rhyan from 149 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: like a kicker or a defense. P Ryan's like p 150 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: Ryan because of mixing situation. If mixing we're healthy, he 151 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: probably is six thousand. Yeah, that makes sense. So since 152 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 1: there's only so many spots, I assume you're more likely 153 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: to eat some money. Yeah, you know what I mean? 154 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 1: You break my heart that we have a hundred bucks 155 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: we gotta find and again we're doing a douball here, 156 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: so all we have to do is finish in the 157 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: top upper half of this. Who we got again, Higgins 158 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: is our Higgins is our in our captain's share twelve three. 159 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: Then we get Evan McPherson at thirty six hundred, Dolphins 160 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: defense at four thousand, Joe Burrow at to uh a hundred, 161 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: entireek Hill at ten eight. I love having both quarterbacks. Yeah, 162 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: and I think a kicker gives you and we have 163 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: a receiver from each team. Yeah, if Chase blows up 164 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: and we're like, oh, we should have chased on our line, 165 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,559 Speaker 1: we got alright. I like having a defense and a 166 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: kicker because I do think that gives you points. You know, 167 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: you're not to get zeros from them probably, you know. Yeah, 168 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: it's not like playing you know, Hayden Hurst, right right, 169 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,839 Speaker 1: that's good and again a couple hundred bucks left over, 170 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: I think that's yeah.

You know, it 207 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,079 Speaker 1: might be time to fire up Mac again. That's I mean, 208 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: it's yeah. Dalton Schultz was limited Thursday for the Cowboys. 209 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: Him and Gallup could be they kind of got out 210 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: of the woods with his stack thing.

Did not practice on Thursday. I don't 219 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 1: think that's serious, but he could be pushing for your 220 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,079 Speaker 1: starting tight end job right now. Dawson Knox with the 221 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: back and hip, was limited on Thursday's practice.

Mark his Valdez Scantling with an abdomen injury 226 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: did not practice on Thursday. That might get you a 227 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: little bit of clarity in the situation. Um. Yeah, Zay 228 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,679 Speaker 1: Jones with an ankle injury did not practice Thursday for 229 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: the Jags. Yeah, they need him. Christian Christian Watching with 230 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: the hamstring practiced on Thursday. Interesting a touchdown. Yeah.

Yeah, that's a problem. Jonathan Taylor 234 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: was back as a full participant this week. One thing 235 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to throw out there with the Jamis thing is. 236 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: I guess Taysom Hill was taking snaps with the quarterbacks. 237 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: I'm sure Dalton would start, can you cheat and get 238 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 1: Hill in his your tight end? And then he throws 239 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: ten pat Everyone knows that routine. You pick him a 240 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: little cheap. That is kind of cheating. But if it's well, 241 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: you have to be early Sunday morning. But if it's 242 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: early Sunday morning, you got your your streaming tight ends. 243 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 1: Why not if that's gonna be the case. If you 244 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 1: heard Jamis is down, would you rather do that or 245 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: would you rather have a three for thirty eight? Yeah? Thomas, 246 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: Yeah right, I'll take my chances on Hill one. Dell 247 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: Robinson and ka Darius Tony still not practicing for the Giants. 248 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: The most Cursed room in America.

Yeah absolutely, Uh, Myles Garrett has a 252 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: chance to play in Week four against the Falcons. You's 253 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 1: got like four different ailments. Yeah, happens when you get 254 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: a car accident. That is what happens. Gabe Davis didn't 255 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: practice on Thursday after not practicing on Wednesday.

Yeah. Dalvin Cook back at 259 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: practice today. That's good news. I'm sure he's fought through 260 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: this shoulder injury fifty games that we don't know about 261 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 1: since Florida State. Yeah, they're gonna put a harness on him. 262 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 1: He'll be fine. D J. Chark did not practice. I 263 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: don't think there's a lot going on with st. Brown, 264 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: but he's not practicing. Swift isn't practicing. Swift isn't playing. Oh, 265 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: this isn't good.

DeAndre Swift still not practicing. Yeah, uh? 270 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: And T J. Hawkinson returned to practice on Thursday. Let's 271 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: see him step up. Yeah, that would be that would 272 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: be needed. Yeah, he isn't that much A long time 273 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: just looking here and some other stuff here. That's pretty 274 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: much of Alvin Kamara. Um. His hearing for felony battery 275 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: has been delayed until November nine. That's still looming after 276 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: if he's found guilty of that, then the NFL will 277 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: swoop in and say, okay, you're down for the next 278 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 1: two or three games whatever it beat. That's goods. No, 279 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna be delayed after the season. Yeah, 280 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: it was ariditionally delayed August one, but they met again 281 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 1: today and decided that they're going to go November nine, 282 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: just in time for maybe your fantasy playoff, puss did 283 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: I'd worry about it. Yeah, I mentioned you men. You 284 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: mentioned DJ Reader going on injured reserve for the Bengals. 285 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: That's bad for them, really bad. I think he's one 286 00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: of the best players. Yeah, I know, he's one of 287 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: the best players. It might be their best of fensive player. Yeah. 288 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: So since his year has not gone to plan. Uh 289 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,120 Speaker 1: and just Pete returned to practice Thursday. They need him, Yeah, 290 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 1: as did Jarvis Landry. But as you mentioned that, Jameis 291 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: Winston Michael Thomas did not practice I guess two straight 292 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: games or two straight days for both those guys. Yeah, 293 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are expected to have to run Armstead available tonight. 294 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: Uh to Uh, I'm not seeing anything here onward. Yeah, 295 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: I just got a little blurbs on my phone today. 296 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, but I don't know yet about Xavian Howard 297 00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: which became I haven't seen that one either, so be 298 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,679 Speaker 1: kind of that might be a game time decision type 299 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:36,719 Speaker 1: check out the act, which would be good to know. 300 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: It would be good to know. So it should be 301 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 1: a good game to night though. I'm looking forward to it. 302 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: I I think so. I think so. I think you 303 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: get an idea of who we want to play there. 304 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: All the past catchers in both quarterbacks should as I 305 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: would try to run the ball, and I think if 306 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,160 Speaker 1: in Miami, I try to run the ball, but neither 307 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: one has done that. They they haven't done been able 308 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: to do it at all at all. Miami's kind of 309 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: chose not to since he hasn't been able to. But yeah, 310 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: maybe the night tonight, but none of those backs were 311 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: super appealing at the price. Yeah, I wonder what the 312 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: weather is like there. I don't know. I can imagine 313 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 1: it's not too much different than it is here. Probably 314 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 1: not yeah, probably not perfect. Yeah, So that would be 315 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: interesting to see how the uh, both of those offenses 316 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: work tonight against each other. Can the Bengals block Yeah, 317 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Judo fans, you gonna be rooting against the 318 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: Bengals as usual. But they go to one in three, 319 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: that's a that's a hole to climb out of in 320 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: this conference, this division. Yeah, definitely be definitely be interesting. 321 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: Miami can afford to drop one, but I mean they 322 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: don't want to. They could be kind of given back 323 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: what they won last week against Buffalo.
