1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive one, home of the Black and Goals.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I'm Dale Lally. He is

3
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson. This is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: and it's time for the Fantasy Football Focus. It is

5
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: a Wednesday, so we'll take a look around the league

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 1: at some of the in fry stuff. And there's some news. Um,

7
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: looks like Zeke Elliott maybe out this week. Yeah, that's massive.

8
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the opportunity that the Pollard owners wanted.

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: Text about that on Sunday when he took the hit

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: and he took himself off the off the field for

11
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: a few plays, but then he came back out. I'm like,

12
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard becomes really interesting, really interesting if it's just

13
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: one day. Yeah, but this is a week by week

14
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: game that fantasy folks play. They're playing the Bears this week.

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: The Bears run defense is not good. Yeah, they just

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: got rid of one of their good defensive ends. Uh.

17
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard becomes a top ten Yeah, and she running

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: back this week, so he'll catch a lot of passes too. Yeah.

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 1: So that's interesting there, Um voice nice when competition leaves

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,959
Speaker 1: on a two headed backfield, yeah, even if it's just

21
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: a short term thing. When Harris was out in New England,

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, I mean Romandro went crazy. Yeah. Um, Russell

23
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: Wilson got any limited practice in uh in London. They're

24
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: playing in London this week. Uh, so we'll see if

25
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: he's able. I guess there was. There was a report

26
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: out there that he was I don't know, running up

27
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: and down the aisles and the on the plane trying

28
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: to keep it stretched out on the way to the Rundon.

29
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: So that wasn't annoying at all. And he said, well

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: everybody else was sleeping us, So yeah, thanks being a

31
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: good team. That doesn't change my opinion of Duty or

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Sutton or if he plays or not. And I don't

33
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: think you can start Wilson, so I'm not even sure

34
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: that's fantasy relevant, which is amazing. Yeah. Maybe the only

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: guy he can started that is the tight end MS

36
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: seems to be. Yeah, something doesn't exist. Yeah, yeah, it

37
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: also seems a big guy. I mean, even the backfields

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: a disaster. Yeah. Uh. Looking here at some of the

39
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: other news from around the league. Nico Collins, with a

40
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: green injury, did not practice on Wednesday for the Houston Texans.

41
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure nobody's counting on him, but he's an intriguing

42
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: young player that I thought could be a breakout guy

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: this year. If they would happen to move up yeah

44
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Cooks at the at the deadline, Nico Collins would become

45
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: a right What might happen is maybe somebody cuts him

46
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: this week because he's not gonna play and they have

47
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: to pick up somebody because of byes. Cooks get traded

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: in a couple of days and go grab Nico and say,

49
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: all right, you get the number one team that's always

50
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: going to be behind. And I wouldn't dump him. I mean,

51
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: at least keep him another week or two. Adam Troutman,

52
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: with an ankle injury, did not practice Wednesday. Here's that

53
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill though Juwan Johnson, Uh, he got five passes

54
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: for thirty two yards and a pair of suchdowns last week.

55
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: You know, I think they like him. He's kind of

56
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: a big receiver type. I mentioned Taysom Hill because he's

57
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: you can play him a tight end in just about

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: every league. But he doesn't like line up. He's never

59
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: on the field. He doesn't play tight. He plays like

60
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: ten snaps a game. Yeah, and it's usually as a

61
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: wildcat guy or h back. Maybe he throws a pass

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,079
Speaker 1: this week, maybe he gets a run. You know, it's

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: just a Vultures Kamara's touchdown. Yeah he could go away. Yeah,

64
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill with an ankle injury did not practice. I

65
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: thought that was going to be more serious than they reported. Since, yeah,

66
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: you might see the leak. They're playing the Texans this week.

67
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: Did they just look at them and say, hey, this

68
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: is a good Ryan take the week off. We're gonna

69
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: give him a leak to start here. We're gonna run

70
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, Henry thirty times in this game. Anyways, I

71
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: thought about picking up Willis. I mean, he may not

72
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: complete a pass and he still might help be in fantasy.

73
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't expect them to look great. He's

74
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: gonna hand at the Henry like crazy, But I mean,

75
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: is it any different than rookie year Hurts? Right? Yeah? Right? Uh?

76
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: This is interesting because they play the Raiders. Marshawn Lattimore

77
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: still not practicing for the Saints. I would assume that

78
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: he gets Davante Adams. I think he would shadow, Yeah,

79
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: he would shadow him if he doesn't play. Yeah. Um.

80
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: Some other Saint news is they already ruled out Winston.

81
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,239
Speaker 1: The guy is the guy, and I guess Michael Thomas

82
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 1: was at practice where Lattimore wasn't, or you know it

83
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: was seen or whatever. Michael Thomas is cutible at this point.

84
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: Is he not making Tony don't play football? I mean

85
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: they really don't. Every week they're questionable or they maybe

86
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: they'll play. Next week will be the week they don't play.

87
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: They don't play. Jalen Waddle with that shoulder injury, was

88
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: limited Wednesday for the Dolphins. Obviously he played through that

89
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: last week. It's on an issue. They played Detroit this week.

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: They downgraded him though. From what I understand is, you know,

91
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: they it was a little worse than might like he

92
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: reaggravated a little bit or took it. There was a

93
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: time where he took a hit against the Steeler Is

94
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: and he kind of got up and was flexing it

95
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. So it's a tough guy for a

96
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: little dude. But it's something to monitor. Yeah, but if

97
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: they're playing the Lions, you want them fire it up.

98
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: Of course. Um durham smythe who is Miami's starting to uh?

99
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: He didn't practice on Wednesday. They threw the ball to

100
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: Kiseki a little bit this past week, the last two weeks,

101
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: he's starting to kind of carve out a role. I'm

102
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: worried about that was like to a coming back because

103
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: too it hadn't really been the Kiseki guy with the

104
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: other two receivers on the inside. But he got some

105
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: work in this game against the Seilers, particularly in the

106
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: red zone. Absolutely, and then looking for something in the

107
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: red zone they are and smythe is I mean the

108
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: michaelob ultra ultra version of Kittle. I mean that's what

109
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: based off of wide niners to style. But I think

110
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: they've realized, hey, this Kiseki dude has talent, and you know,

111
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: we don't really have a third receiver. They don't really

112
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: have a third receiver. And he's definitely a red zone

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: weapon like he should be in your league's Yeah, there's

114
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: also a rumor out there that maybe Green Bay might

115
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 1: be interested in acquiring him. Yeah, the problem is because

116
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: of the franchise tag. Yeah, he's making a lot per week. Yeah, right,

117
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: it's not a situation where you trade form and they've

118
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: already eaten the designing. No, you gotta eat that salary. Yeah, Um,

119
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry did not practice on Wednesday. Yeah. Absolutely, Jarvis

120
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: Landry didn't practice, but at least I think he's getting closer.

121
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: That's an ankle injury. Michael Thomas, as you mentioned, did

122
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: not practice. That's a foot, that's what. Yeah, that's what.

123
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: That's what held him out before the foot. How about this?

124
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: Surprisingly enough, Sammy Watkins with a hamstrung limited in Wednesday's practice,

125
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: he did. He did play fifty two the snaps. They

126
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: kind of counted on him, and he caught two catches

127
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: for thirty six yards on four targets. Did you hear

128
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: what Aaron Rodgers said this past week? I heard there

129
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: was something and I don't remember. He said, some of

130
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: these guys don't deserve to be on the field. They

131
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: keep messing up. He said, it's it's like of the

132
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: time that they're that they're messing the play up. And

133
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: I think he was speaking specifically about thought. Yeahah, and

134
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: the two rookies they don't count on at all, and

135
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: and I don't think he has any faith in them whatsoever.

136
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: I think he does have some faith in Sammy Watkins.

137
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: It will at least be supposed to professional guy, right

138
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: right right. Rogers also has never been at fault for

139
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: anything in the world right right now? Of course not,

140
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: of course not Um cam Akers still being told to

141
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: stay away from the team makes me think nobody wants him, Yeah,

142
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: including them. They don't you guys want to be there?

143
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: Well at this point, I think, I think you just

144
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: hold on to him if you're the Rams and hope.

145
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: You know what if if Henderson, something would happen to

146
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: Henderson and you say, okay, maybe you kiss him, makeup.

147
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: If it's if it's a long term issue with Henderson, Yeah,

148
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I love, I'd love to

149
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: know what the issue is here. I just figured they're

150
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: holding them because they want a fifth or sixth round pick,

151
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: and nobody'll give it to him. They just don't want

152
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: to cut him for nothing. It's kind of like the

153
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: Garoppolo stuff back in the day. I mean, you're already

154
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: on the hook for his for his salary, since he's

155
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: a veteran second round pick. I mean, you got a

156
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: little bit of money, so you might as well. I

157
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: don't think they like each other. Josh Reynolds, with the

158
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: knee injury, did not practice on Wednesday for the Lions,

159
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: nor did T. J. Hawkinson and Shark's been out. Um

160
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: I think St Brown's okay. Yeah, I don't think that

161
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: was weird When um St Brown turned left the game

162
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: early against Cowboys, I think it was his first target.

163
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 1: Uh he took took a shot to the head, didn't

164
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: have a concussion, and the doctor said they had to

165
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: hold him out, which I don't understand. If we're gonna

166
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: go down that rabbit hole in the NFL hard, there's

167
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of guys missing games man, and

168
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: a lot of unhappy people, right, and much lesser product.

169
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want these guys to get hurt either,

170
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: and if they have a concussion, they should come out.

171
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 1: But if you have cleared a concussion protocol, I mean,

172
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: what are we doing. Hit real hard shouldn't mean you

173
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: can't play football. The rest guys get hit hard on

174
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: every play in the NFL. It's the NFL. That's what

175
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: the game is all about, right, I don't get it.

176
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 1: I mean, so it's a much bigger issue and it's

177
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: something that the NFL needs to get in front of immediately.

178
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: Noah Brown for the Cowboys with the foot injury, did

179
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: not practice. He's not bad. He's not a bad player.

180
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: And he's eating He's eating some of Michael gallops all

181
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,239
Speaker 1: gallop a zero last week and he hit a target. Yeah,

182
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: they like Brown. I think they found something in him.

183
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,319
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't play, I do think it really

184
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: helps gallop tremendous, tremendously, tremendously. He might be ahead of

185
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 1: Gallop on the depth chart. I don't know about the

186
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: depth chart, but he certainly is he playing? Are they

187
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: I didn't even pay attention to it, to CD playing

188
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: the slaughter? Is he outside and Brown's playing the slot?

189
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: They both can gallop strictly on the outside. Gallops strictly

190
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: on the outside. I don't know how they handled it

191
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: this past week when they all were healthy at all

192
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 1: out there. I'd have to look at that usage. But

193
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: that's that's what it feels like to me that Brown's

194
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: kind of replaced CD in the slot and so he's

195
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: getting some of those targets. Yeah, they like him. He

196
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 1: keeps making place. Yeah, he's got some talent. To Juwan

197
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: Jennings did not practice for the Niners. Uh, nor did

198
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel with a hamstring that was concerning. Um my

199
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: son just traded for Deebo Samuel last night I'm like,

200
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: you better be careful because I don't think he's playing

201
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: this week and they're off next week. It might be

202
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: gonna you're gonna eat him for two weeks. And oh,

203
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: by the way, is he going to run the ball

204
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: as much as he did before? I don't think so. Yeah,

205
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: I think Christian McCaffrey. Now get those carrious. I mean,

206
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: I'd love to have Vibo, But I mean if you

207
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: paid a dollar for a dollar for him, you might

208
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: wait a little while. Yeah, Ronnie Stanley is questionable for

209
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers. For the Ravens, that's

210
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: the ankle. Yeah, week, it's interesting. Um, that's a big

211
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: That's be a fun Thursday night, big deal for them.

212
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards is also questionable. Yeah. I wonder if it's

213
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 1: just the beauty of all the those guys, as you know,

214
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: and Mark Andrews and Mark Andrews and he had one.

215
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: If if those guys don't play I mean gigantic, I

216
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 1: mean du Verney, I guess you fire him out. He's

217
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: gonna get eight or nine targets at least. But again,

218
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: if you own any of those dudes, just pay attention

219
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: right for the game right right. Uh, As you mentioned,

220
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton will start in Week eight against the Raiders

221
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: for New Orleans. Um, it's fine, Yeah, whatever about this.

222
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: Dennis Allen said that the decision to bench Jamis Winston

223
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 1: is about performance now, not just the back injury. But

224
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: what I read today was he didn't practice because he's injured,

225
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: right today. Yeah. Alan called the choice of going with

226
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Dalton an offensive decision. We've speculated that for a while,

227
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: but maybe this the style of this team. It just

228
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 1: so happens that Dalton's coming off a game where he

229
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: through four picks, right. I would think he doesn't turn

230
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: the ball over as much as Jamis, and Jamis doesn't

231
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: turn over as much as used to, and Dalton is

232
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: through four picks. So probably a little frustrated there right now,

233
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah. Uh. Mac Jones will start Week

234
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: eight against the Jets. I think that's a easy Did

235
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: you see the the the interception that Jones through against

236
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: the Bears. There was a video out there. The ball

237
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: actually hit one of those cables like that spider can

238
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 1: and it deflected just just a hair to where it

239
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: came inside with the defensive back to him and they

240
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: could play on it. The videos out there and he

241
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't got old and yeah, so interesting. I think

242
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: the Bailey is happy or do Yeah. Uh. DK Metcalfe

243
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: did not practice on Wednesday, but he avoided serious serious injury.

244
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he plays this week, though, I

245
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: could see him sitting they're playing the Giants. Uh, do

246
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: you fire up Marquis good One if DK is out? No,

247
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: Marquis good One is almost He's almost Tyler Luck at Light. Yeah.

248
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: They got to Tyler lockets. Now they have to beat

249
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 1: the No, I wouldn't. Yeah, it sounds like Mike Williams

250
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: could be in bad shape too. Yeah, it's a sprained

251
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: mc L for Ezekiel Elliott. That could be multiple. They

252
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: get there by next week. Yeah, it won't play him

253
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: this week for sure. They're definitely not playing on this week.

254
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: I just wonder if if post By could be the

255
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 1: RAMS designated Karen Williams to return from injured reserve. We

256
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: talked about that earlier in the week. He's a sneaky

257
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: pick up and probably worth your time. Yeah. All the

258
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: reports have been really strong about him. Yeah, absolutely, but

259
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: Malcolm Brown is still there. He is and Malcolm Brown

260
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: is He's been hanging around for five years an hour,

261
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: you know. H Darryl Williams returned to practice Wednesday for

262
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. See what, we don't know what I

263
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: think that hurts? You know, looks like James Conner could

264
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: be back soon. Uh the Eno Williams era or you know,

265
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 1: Benjamin I should say Eric could be done. Yeah, or

266
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: at least it's gonna be a committee. Yeah, I mean

267
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: this could be messy. Yeah. I don't want to do anything.

268
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: Um yeah, because Connor did return to practice on Tdnesday.

269
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: So but you gotta fire Corner up if he's oh yeah, yeah, yeah,

270
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: who knows along that last Chuba Hubbard with an ankle injury,

271
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: did not practice on Wednesday. If Dante Foreman they're playing Caroline,

272
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: they're playing uh the Falcons this week. Okay, it should

273
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: be a close game. Again that the game could be

274
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: over in forty five minutes. Both teams are gonna gon

275
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: hand it off. That's the thing about Okay, so Pits

276
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: cow Pits. We mentioned before they were way behind against

277
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals and still didn't throw the football. That's the

278
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: most disappointing thing about that. I because as as a

279
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: Pits owner, I thought, well, this is the week they're

280
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: going to have to throw the rights a good team,

281
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: and they just didn't do it. They still didn't do it. Yeah,

282
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's a Mariota thing. I think

283
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: it's a coaching decision. So he comes to the like,

284
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: is he cuttible at this point? Wow? No, I just

285
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: can't go that far. He's but they only throw the

286
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: ball ten to twenty times. I'd be happy if they

287
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: threw a twenty times. They were getting their butts kicked

288
00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: in through A thirteen times last week. It's almost impossible

289
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 1: for him to get five targets. Yeah, and even the

290
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: one they did throw to him, they threw on like

291
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: the one inch line to him at the goal line

292
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: and he was an in short, you know, and then

293
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: he had the cheapest touchdown ever. Hey, I would have

294
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: taken it and actually thought he was in, but I

295
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: was a little biased at the time. Uh. Mike Williams

296
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: biggest disappointment, without a doubt, be some people are disappointed

297
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: with guy. You know, Jonathan Taylor. Johnson Taylor is at

298
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: least putting up points. You're starting him, yeah, right right,

299
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he's not getting people are unhappy with

300
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: Remember too, if you remember Jonathan Taylor last year, I

301
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: think it was about this point in the season where

302
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he just took off. He was

303
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: number one. That could happen. I don't know if the

304
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: quarterback change changes his value at all, and he might

305
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: help him. They might actually try to lean on him

306
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. Can't hurt, No, you can't hurt um.

307
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: Mike Williams, I think this one's bad. Expected to miss

308
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: at least four weeks um. Now they're on there by

309
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: this week, so that eats up one of those weeks.

310
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: So but you're gonna be without him for at least

311
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: three games. No, I mean, depending on your league. But

312
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: you're just gonna eat it. Unless you have an I

313
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: R spot or whatever. You just gotta live with it.

314
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: On the plus side, for them, Josh Palmer missed last

315
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: week's game with concussion, so he'll be back. I think

316
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Palmer has been miscast. I think he's more Williams than Allen. Yes,

317
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: you know so, like I would rather have Allan and

318
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: Palmer than Palmer and Williams, even if Williams and Allen

319
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: are equal players, you know what I mean. I think

320
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: I'd be better for Palmer. Yeah, Keenan Allen just played

321
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: of the team's snaps last week and got well, I

322
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: think two targets. He had two catches for eleven yards.

323
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: Would have been good to know that before putting him

324
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: in the lineup. But when he comes, when he comes back,

325
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: when they come back from the by next week, fire

326
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: him up. You might want to grab him. I mean,

327
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: make a trade offer. He's getting ten catches a game,

328
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: no doubt. Yeah, now now you'll be happy with him. Yeah, finally,

329
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: a long wait, but still there's a lot of fantasy left.

330
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: Darren Waller practicing on Wednesday. Yeah, finally, that's big. Um. Yeah,

331
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: they've been playing Foster Moreau. That's okay. Yeah, but he's

332
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: not not that guy. Um. The Bears designated Byron Pringle

333
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: to return from injured reserve. That doesn't sound like anything,

334
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 1: But he's an NFL he's a professional receiver. He might

335
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: be their second best guy. He hasn't been bad for

336
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: them as Pettis. I love him for fantasy, but he

337
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: might be a keeper for them as their third guy

338
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: or fourth guy next year. A. J. Terrell, the Falcons

339
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 1: top corner, did not practice Wednesday. I don't think he's

340
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 1: playing d J moore sneaky start this week. I mean,

341
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: if he's cheap in DFS, I would consider, and he

342
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: should be and you know, right, and if a new

343
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 1: guy call him plays a new guy in charge. I

344
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: mean Alan Lazard did not practice on Wednesday for the Packers.

345
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: I know you hate Allen Lazard hate a strong word,

346
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: but he gets double digit points every week he does,

347
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: and he's been missed and they need him bad and

348
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: we just had this wide receiver conversation with them. It's

349
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: not great. Uh Matt Eberfloss, who happens to be the

350
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: coach of the Bears. In case people didn't know that,

351
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: We'll continue to get Killiel Herbert more involved in the offense.

352
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: I think Montgomery is a fine player, but Herbert is better. Yeah,

353
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: he's harder to get on the ground, he's more explosive.

354
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: It's almost an Ezekiel Elliott Um Pollard situation is but

355
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: the backup might be better than the starter, but you

356
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: you keep the starter in there because well, he's your

357
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, he's the guy. I think this past week,

358
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: and they won and it was a good game. Script

359
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: Fields had like twelve carries. Herbert had like fifteen and

360
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 1: Montgomery had like twelve. Yeah. I mean, like, if you're

361
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: the Bears, that's what you want. That's easier said than

362
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: done to be able to pull off. But if you

363
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: could have three headed rushing attack and run for two,

364
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: won the game. Yeah right, I mean that's their script.

365
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: Look a big pie what I'm saying. Logan Thomas back

366
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: in a limited fashion. He's so old though, I know,

367
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: but he's been productive the Laska. They gave him money

368
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: when he's played, he's been good. Um, I mean, he's

369
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: one of these Tonyan type tight ends. Would you rather

370
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: have him right now or Pitts coming back? If Logan

371
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: Thomas is healthy, would you rather start the game. You're

372
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 1: in the championship game right now, Pitts and it'll be

373
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: the wrong call. Uh. Corey Davis did not practice on Wednesday.

374
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 1: Elijah More's friends again. I guess yes, he's gonna play

375
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: this week. I'm just saying if Davis isn't in. Yeah,

376
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: we talked about this when they played the Jets. Zack

377
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 1: Wilson's worse than I thought. Yeah, I thought he was

378
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: getting better. He's not really even getting better. Yeah, I'm

379
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: on Ross st Brown. Was that Wednesday's practice and again

380
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: he was in the concussion protocol. Didn't need to be.

381
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: That's kind of like the Kenny Pickett thing last night,

382
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: right right right, and put him back in your lineups.

383
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: On Dotson still not practicing for Washington. That's been a

384
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: long term situation. Uh. DeAndre Swift with the shoulder injury,

385
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: did practice in fullm when he's ready to go, um,

386
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: put him right back in your lineup. It's been painful

387
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: for me for the last month or five weeks or whatever.

388
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: Speaking of painful, m Kenny Golladay did not practice. Darius

389
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: Tony did not practice. Are they even football players at

390
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: this point? Do they even rewrite the blurbs or they

391
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: the next with the last week? Yeah, same with Michael Thomas. Right, Oh,

392
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, you wouldn't try to trade for a wider

393
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: cere for the Giants, would you? Thinking that you're better

394
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: than you are? They're just you know, yeah, yeah, I wouldn't.

395
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: They've got enough money tied up in the in the

396
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: room already in draft picks. They're gonna be going crazy. Yeah.

397
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: I mean, Shepherd's out too, Like they kill for some

398
00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: shepherd right now, right, Dan Campbell said Jamison Williams will

399
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: miss at least another month. I heard that. So he's

400
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: not gonna be back until he will not be a

401
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: fantasy relevant player this week. This year, they have won win, right.

402
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure they'll put him in there when

403
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:14,719
Speaker 1: he's ready, but you might as well hold him out

404
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: as long as possible. It's not the same as Austin

405
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 1: because you want to see your first round pick at

406
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: least a little Yeah, Austin is a fourth round pick.

407
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: Is a little bit of a difference there, But there's

408
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: no way you rush them back. I mean they're already

409
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: out and your other receivers have been fine, They're good. Yeah,

410
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: you have something in Reynolds. You know, Truck's not bad.

411
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: They've been out, but you know, uh. Robert Salo said

412
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: he doesn't know if Elijah Moore still wants to be treated. Yeah,

413
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 1: I think their friends again whatever, he's been fine. Is

414
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: there frustration there? Probably still is. I don't know though,

415
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: that this is a situation where the squeaky wheel gets

416
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: gets greased this week. I don't know that old. Well,

417
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: we we get Elijah more six targets this game because

418
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: he was mad. It's not that situation. He's He's been

419
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: cut in a lot of leagues, and I get that

420
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet. Like I'd rather have him on

421
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: my roster, and I think he's capable, really good thing.

422
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: You are an Elijah more Truther. I am more truth.

423
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: But that's one of my weaknesses. Is I like the

424
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: player one del Robinson truth. Well, Robinson's gonna get targets.

425
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: They at least throw the ball. Well, neither one him

426
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: throws the ball. I mean Zack Wilson, Hurts Wilson and more. Yeah,

427
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: and they just wanted on the ball. Trade for a

428
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: running back. Russell Gauge is out for Week eight against

429
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Cameron Bred out for Week eight against the Ravens.

430
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: Kate Kate Aton is in play this week. It is

431
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: no I see no problem with it at all. Julio

432
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 1: Jones will be a game time decision in Week eight

433
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: against the Ravens. If Julio does play, does that hurt Button?

434
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: He's more like a tight end now he is a

435
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,360
Speaker 1: tight end, but will be on the field. Snaps. Yeah.

436
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: Oughton to me is a real sneaky play. Yeah, he's

437
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: like the Denver dude. He'll be he'll be cheap, but

438
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna get targets. It's Tom Brady and he throws,

439
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: especially in the red zone, Like, yeah, you're gonna get

440
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: They don't run the ball at all. No, no, Uh.

441
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: Trdavious White won't play in weekend against the Packers. That's

442
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: the thing about the Bills. They're doing this and they

443
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: still don't have Tradavious White back and they can just

444
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: slow play and they have no rush to do anything.

445
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful situation for them. On the other side

446
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: of Brendan Jones, however, he's important to the safety. Out

447
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: for the season, out for the season. That stinks. Yeah,

448
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: he's a good player. Uh so that's that's interesting. Um

449
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: Jet's head coach Robert Salace and the team will take

450
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: it slow with James Robinson. What that means, Like, does

451
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: that mean they're not going to initially just throw them

452
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: out there and give him twenty carries? Where's that mean? Well,

453
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: we're gonna take it slow. He's only getting twelve carries

454
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:45,879
Speaker 1: or fifteen carries. My running back unches. Carter leads the

455
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: rack field and touches this week, but the long term

456
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: plan is for Robinson to lead the backfield and touches.

457
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: But if Robinson's out there and he's gaining, like, hey,

458
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: let's say they get him. Are the plan is to

459
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: give him ten touches this week, but he starts ripping

460
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: off yards, Okay, you're gonna leave him out there, zone right,

461
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: zone left, and it's not the hardest position to act

462
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 1: them as we saw Gus Edwards last week, right right, right?

463
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: So would you consider starting Robinson? See a top twenty?

464
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: Who are they playing this week? That I don't know? Um,

465
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think I could make They're playing

466
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: the Patriots. Yeah, this is the game they need to win. Well,

467
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: they need to win. It's a big game of division. Um,

468
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: New England just got gashed. But I can't imagine that

469
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: happens again. M Yeah, possible, But man, I would want

470
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: Wilson to beat you, but I'm sure they want to

471
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: Field to beat them. Absolutely, And that didn't work out,

472
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: not even a little bit, not even close. But um,

473
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: that's gonna do it. For our updates here for the day.
