00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: a big time show in front us here today. We're

Speaker 1: gonna talk about deep Sleepers, will get you some quick

Speaker 1: TNF reaction. We'll get franchise on the phone as well,

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: and as always, we go through E d G every

17
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: damn game. But we got a big slate of news,

18
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: so let's get to it. Got so much news news

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: the camera highlights in the world of sport, freaking breaking news, breakingly,

20
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: continue to follow breaking news, kids, your wife, all right.

21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide is still dealing with a shoulder issue. He

22
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: told reporters that there were no sitbacks this week. Today

23
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: on Friday, he actually did some contact drills. He was

24
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: working with the tackling sled, but up until this point

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: he's been in a non contact jersey all week. He said, quote,

26
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: there's a good chance that he placed Sunday on the

27
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: road versus Arizona Matthew Harmon. I'll ask you this, do

28
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: you trust playing him given the magnitude of the injury

29
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: and and all of the coup tromants they go around

30
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: that this Matthew thing has thrown me off? But no,

31
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: I I even if Carlos Hide plays, I'm one always

32
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: nervous about playing skill position players the first week back

33
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: from their injury. Anyways, And too, I think this is

34
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: gonna be just a train wreck for San Francisco. Taken

35
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: there on the road versus Arizona, it's a terrible matchup.

36
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: I think Arizona is what they uh, fifth worst against

37
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: fantasy running back. So yeah, I mean I and I

38
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: expect them to build a lead quickly, either with David

39
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: Johnson or with their receivers, because San Francisco is not

40
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: good at either, but they are pretty historically bad against

41
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: the running backs. So I mean, either way, I think

42
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: that the four nine will be chasing. That's not really

43
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 1: a great position for Carlos Hide to be in anyway.

44
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: So I mean, if you have him, it's it's gonna

45
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: be tough sledding regardless. You know, it's funny though, because

46
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly has done right by fantasy managers in that

47
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: he'll get his his lead guy work even in a blowout.

48
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: It doesn't even matter. That's what's so funny about it.

49
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: And that's what we've actually seen with Carlos Hide is

50
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: that even if even if the games have been you know,

51
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: train wrecks, it doesn't matter Carlos Hide filling it up

52
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: in the box score through garbage time. But we'll see,

53
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: all right. Doug Martin was back at practice Thursday, but

54
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: I think he was ruled out of his game this week.

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: He's been gone since week two. He's been gone since

56
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: week two. He did individual drills Wednesday, limited participation Thursday,

57
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: but the team ruled him out today versus Chicago that

58
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: just come through. I came through about an hour ago. Oh. Interesting,

59
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: It's terrible. He's missed two months. Alex killhar I'm I'm aware,

60
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: and had he had he started, it would have been

61
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: a decent spot to uh to put him in there. Uh.

62
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: But now I guess it's going to be back to

63
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber. I mean, what's more treacherous at this point

64
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: being a Tampa Bay running back or a Cleveland quarterback.

65
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Payton Barber is literally what their fifth string guy.

66
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Both deserve hazard pay Oh boy, Mike Evans has been

67
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: cleared from the concussion protocol. Speaking of Tampa Bay, obviously

68
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: he's in a very good spot as well. You're playing

69
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: him all right. Dion Lewis returned to practice and according

70
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: to Beat reporter Jeff how Lewis is actually on track

71
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: to play Sunday versus the Seahawks. Do you deploy him

72
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: on Sunday? M G. I you know, I am leaning

73
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: towards giving him a flex spot this. I've seen the conversation.

74
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: I've seen the conversation on Twitter going back and forth.

75
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: I Harmon involved. The rich rebar was talking a lot

76
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: about it this morning. UM, and I understand all the concerns.

77
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we are, we are absolutely speculating on what

78
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: his role in this offense is going to be. And

79
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: I know that one of the the concerns was the

80
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: fact that there's so many weapons there and he's not

81
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: guaranteed to get touches. But I do think that, you know,

82
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: if past this prologue, then there is there is room

83
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: for him to go out and be productive. And we

84
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: know what his ability is, we know what his skill

85
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: set is, and we know how they have used him

86
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: in the past, and so you know, if you're leaning

87
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: on him to be your RB one or two, you're

88
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna be sorely disappointed. But I think if you're looking

89
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: at a flex play, this is a guy who will

90
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 1: catch some passes for you, can't find a way to

91
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: score touchdowns outside of the red zone, UM, and can

92
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: give you a sneaky eight points eight nine points this week.

93
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's admittedly not a lot, it's not a

94
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: huge number, UM, But I do think you know, if

95
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: you waited on him all this long, or you snatched

96
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: him off the waiver wire a couple of weeks ago,

97
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: then I think it's worth giving him a shot in

98
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: your lineup. Here's here's my worry. And let me preface

99
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: this by saying that nobody stumped for Dion Lewis harder

100
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: last year than me as a as a preseason viable guy,

101
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: as somebody that was a league winning RB one, regardless

102
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: of all these mysterious you know, belitricks or whatever the

103
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: hell you people like to call it. And I say that,

104
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: but I'm I am completely I have no Let's just

105
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: be honest with the fact that we're completely assuming anything

106
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: with Dion Lewis this week and even going forward. To

107
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I like the way you mentioned

108
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: rich Reebar, like the way he said it. He's like, sorry, guys,

109
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: I already spent all my injury optimism points on Jamal

110
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Charles this year, and we saw how that worked out.

111
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: So I mean that is that is one thing. We

112
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: don't really know what kind of shape he's gonna be

113
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: and when he comes back. Also, this Patriots offense is

114
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: just different now than it was back then. I mean,

115
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: they're just there's the two tight ends. There's Julian Edelman

116
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: still getting targets. James White has played well and maybe

117
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: he still figures in maybe he doesn't. I don't know,

118
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: But I don't know when I became like an incredibly

119
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: skeptical person. But because that's not really the way I've

120
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: been with fantasy in the past. But I think that

121
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: it's this The smartest thing in this situation is to

122
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 1: be like, we don't really know what we're gonna see.

123
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: He's got great matchups coming up, Dion Lewis. Does I

124
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: think they take on the Niners next week? Uh so,

125
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna play him there. But again, I think

126
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: I'm kind of with Harmon on this one. It's a

127
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 1: different style of offense. I think la Garrett Blunt has

128
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: certainly played well enough that he earns a vast majority

129
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: of the snaps. Again, they're playing the Seahawks anyways. I

130
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: mean it's gonna be tough sled and no matter what,

131
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: I hundred percent advocate the ad, there's no question you

132
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,840
Speaker 1: should a hundred percent an Addon Lewis, I just, oh, man,

133
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I can't play him this week, at least not in

134
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: my mind. All Right, Deshan Jackson ruled out. Doesn't really matter.

135
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: You weren't gonna play hi, man. I think he was

136
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: doubtful officially, but basically out. Yeah, he's not gonna Let's

137
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: just I think he's not gonna play. Let's approach it

138
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: that way, Deshan Jackson, regardless, you weren't. I don't think

139
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: you were going to play him Minnesota. It wasn't gonna happen.

140
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: So there you go. If you if you were holding

141
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: on hope, I think you probably bench him for this week. Alright.

142
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry heard his shoulder Wednesday. He sat out of

143
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:31,239
Speaker 1: practice Thursday. He's very confident that he's gonna play on Sunday.

144
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: Adam Gay said he's day to day, but obviously you

145
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: got to keep an eye by the way, Can I ask, like,

146
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: what is up with shoulders this year? I feel like

147
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: there's been more shoulder injuries in the NFL this year

148
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: than I than I've ever remembered seeing. It's like, it's craziness.

149
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: It's a fair point. There have been a lot of

150
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: You've heard a c joint sprain a lot more this

151
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: year than in any year past. I feel as well.

152
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: But that's just one of those things. I mean, I

153
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: have no empirical evidence of this. This is just my

154
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: own speculation. Yes, but I think as the league, UH

155
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: is a lot more stringent about using the helmet as

156
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: a weapon, or the helmet to lead with. I think

157
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: you have a lot more guys potentially leading with shoulders

158
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: and and jamming and hurting, and you know, I don't know.

159
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this is just my own speculation. I have

160
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: no proof of anything. That's just a guess. I like it, though.

161
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry taken on San Diego. In San Diego. It

162
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: sounds like he will be good to go. But again,

163
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: you've got to keep a close eye on the injury report.

164
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: All right, Tevin Coleman was he ruled out? He was

165
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: ruled out. That he Tevin Coleman's got that hammy. He

166
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: was ruled out. He's missed a couple of games already,

167
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: looks like he's gonna miss his third. Uh. He hasn't

168
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: practiced pretty much at all. UH this week he was

169
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: doing some light running on the side. Jacob Tammy also

170
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: gonna be out of that game. Austin Hooper is an

171
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: interesting play. He had forty six yards and a touchdown

172
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: UH in that last week. For those of you desperate

173
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: for a tight end play. All right, Randall Cobb, let's

174
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: go to Green Bay. Randall Cobb was limited in practice

175
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: this week, but was a full go I think on

176
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: Friday today, Uh, he is expected to have a full

177
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: compliment snaps. The coaching staff there believes that he will

178
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: be good to go on Sunday against Tennessee. I'll ask you,

179
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: Alex Gilhar a resident packers expert, Hello, Homer not expert

180
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: optimistic about what he's got on paper against Tennessee. Uh.

181
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: This is the same kind of thing like Harmon was

182
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: preaching with Dion Lewis, where while I would not be

183
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: surprised at all if Starks came in and saw fifteen touches,

184
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen touches, I also wouldn't be I mean

185
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: nothing surprises me with Mike McCarthy these days because I

186
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell is going on there. But

187
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: long term, I think Starks is going to become the

188
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: featured back here that we've seen him do it before.

189
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: Get a full compliment of touches when Eddie Lacey was

190
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: out and as nice of a matchup as time Montgomer

191
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: represents coming out of the backfield, having him run, you know,

192
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: forty snaps out of the backfield, the game does not

193
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: feel sustainable for this team. Uh. And I think Mike

194
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: McCarthy is a traditionalist and wants to get back to

195
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: actually be able to run the football with a true

196
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: running back and UH, and that can help set things

197
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: up in the PAS. So I would be I would

198
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: be concerned about Montgomery moving forward losing some of that

199
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: backfield role. That was what really buoyed him for a

200
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks there. I wrote today and News and

201
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: Notes that I think I don't think time Montgomery's trade

202
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: value can be any higher in UH. In two major

203
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: fantasy outlets, they've got him listed as a running back. UH.

204
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: That boost his trade value as well. UH if you

205
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: can move him and get a top twenty is wide

206
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: receiver back, which I think is a doable deal. I'm

207
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: I I when you wrote I didn't hadn't thought of that.

208
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: But when I was reading and editing News and Notes

209
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: this morning, which is good you guys can read it

210
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: at slash Fantasy in the app or NFL dot com

211
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: slash co, I was like, that's a very good point

212
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: because if this does as we kind of expect shift

213
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: where he loses some of that running back work, he's

214
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: just gonna become like a safe floor flex guy who

215
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: you're hoping gets in the end zone. But with Roberts

216
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 1: Roberts Rogers preference of throwing to Nelson and Cobb in

217
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: the red zone like that, uh, and Davante adams emergence,

218
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: art targets and valuable ones are gonna be hard to

219
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: come by, are you do? I mean, do we really

220
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: expect it to change that much? Like? Is there any

221
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: reason to expect it? Just other than I mean, I

222
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: mean because Mike McCarthy has called him running back, Aaron

223
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: Rodgers has called him a running back, right, I mean,

224
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: we're not calling him a running back on our on

225
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: our game. But that's a tired old subject. But I

226
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: don't see any reason why they're just gonna suddenly not

227
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: do it when it's worked. I Mean, the only thing

228
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: that would concern me with Montgomery going forward is the

229
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: sickle cell thing and whether they're going to keep like

230
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 1: last week they really eased him in, you know, are

231
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,599
Speaker 1: they going to do that going forward? That would be

232
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: the only thing that it would concern me. But I

233
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: don't see any reason why they're gonna take away backfield

234
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: work from him. Gosh, well, I mean, Mike McCarthy's trusted,

235
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: James Dark's in a in a pretty I mean obviously

236
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: limited way, but they've given him work. Stark sucks though,

237
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: But immers I think the reason it changes is because

238
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: this wasn't This wasn't the plan, and you know this

239
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: this was this was an emergency situation that they had

240
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 1: to rush to Montgomery into the running back position. Um,

241
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, it is the same as if you had

242
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: to play an emergency quarterback and you know, maybe he

243
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: gives you some production. This is much you want. This

244
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: isn't this is the way you want to build your office. True.

245
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: But at the same time, and maybe they're just not smart.

246
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 1: But to me, right the ne that could very well

247
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: be the case, that could be the X factor here.

248
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: But to me, they've played their best offense doing things

249
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: that way. You would think that if they would like

250
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: to continue to win games and score points, that they

251
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: would do that. So I don't know. I think there

252
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: are layers of assumptions in both sides. I would be

253
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: on the side that I think that they continue to

254
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: use him as a running back and that that we

255
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: see him as like a theoretic. For the record, I

256
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: wasn't saying they abandoned that completely. I would just expect

257
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: where Montgomery over the last four weeks has led all

258
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: players and backfield snaps for the Crackers switched to start

259
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: or even like a sixty kind of thing, which you know,

260
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: those those games where the packs where Montgomery was so

261
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: good like against the Falcons and stuff. Is he was

262
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: back there like the entire game, right, So if you

263
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: cut that in half or in third and then you're

264
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: trying you're hoping he gets all of the targets coming

265
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: out of the backfield or relying on him to get

266
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: true wide receiver targets, that's gonna that's gonna decrease his value. Yeah,

267
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: that's a fair point. I don't know. I I agree

268
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: with both sides in that. Uh. I think Time Montgomery

269
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: is their best option in the backfield. But I just

270
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: know coaches, right, I mean, coaches just love to go

271
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: back to what they know, and they know James jarkson

272
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: running back so and and if they do get into

273
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: games where they have a lead, they're gonna want to

274
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: salt away a lead with a guy like Starks who's

275
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: done it before. There's a more you know, natural running back.

276
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 1: Although Time Montgomery has proven very well. But yes, you

277
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 1: you want to be hammering like the six ft two

278
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: whatever pound Starks in there and not not Montgomery. We'll

279
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: see about ball security too though, that that will be

280
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: play a major factor, I believe in who has the

281
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: backfield chair moving forward? All right? Lamar Miller speaking of

282
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: running backs, still recovering from guess what a shoulder injury.

283
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: He was a limited participant in practice Thursday. He's expected

284
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: to get a full load Sunday on the road versus Jacksonville, though,

285
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: So there you go. You can play him with some confidence.

286
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously with those shoulder issues are a little

287
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: tricky and that you know, if he sustains a big

288
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: time at maybe he reaggravates the injury. But I don't

289
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: know at this point. That's kind of a risk factor

290
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to play with. Jeremy Macklin has been

291
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: ruled out as well, the groin injury. He's taken on

292
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: or the Chiefs rather taken on Carolina. It's a great

293
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: paper match up for their wide receivers. And it's funny

294
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: on Twitter today I wrote that I really, I really

295
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: prefer Chris Conley, a bigger guy six too. He's he's

296
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: got unbelievable athleticism four three, four, forty and forty versus

297
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: just something stupid. He's a great athlete, he's an absolute

298
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: freak show. Uh, and he played on percent of the

299
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: snaps for Kansas City last year or last week rather

300
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: which led all Kansas City wide receivers. You would think

301
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: that the opportunity is gonna be there, and I felt

302
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: super confident about it, and then somebody on Twitter hit

303
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: me with this cold s water bath. It's funny that

304
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin doesn't do anything and yet fantasy analists are

305
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: excited about this matchup, which is which is true, which

306
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: is fair. But I think Tyree Kill and Albert Wilson

307
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: will also get some love on the waiver wire this week. Yeah,

308
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's that concerns me, Like you noted

309
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: in News and Notes as well, like your optimism for

310
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: Conny was like he oh, the team leader only had

311
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: eight targets and that could flip his way. But it's like, well, great,

312
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: like this this often spreads the ball around better than

313
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: pretty much any other one, and that just kills all

314
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: fantasy pass catchers on it. I could I could see

315
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 1: either any one of those three catching a deep ball touch. Yeah,

316
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: I think it's a total dice roll Yeah. I like it, though,

317
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: let's go with it. Um what else we got here?

318
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin miss practice Wednesday and Thursday. He sounds pretty doubtful. Meanwhile,

319
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: Tyrolle Williams and Hunter Henry they both did practice. It

320
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: sounds like they will be good to go. We talked

321
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: about Jacob Tammy Austin Hooper, like I said, uh, pretty

322
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: good athlete. If you want to roll out a high

323
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: you know, high end tight end play, I don't want

324
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: to say high end. What am I trying to say here?

325
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: High ceiling guy at the tight end positions. Verry Screen will,

326
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: by the way, practice with the first by the way,

327
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 1: by the way, he practiced with the first team. Uh.

328
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: This week he's expected to play on something. Marcus Wheaton

329
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: and d HB have already been ruled out to so

330
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: they are going to need other people to catch passes.

331
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: Although I saw something crazy like I think since Levan

332
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: Bell came back, only like two wide receivers have more

333
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: targets than him or something in that span. I don't

334
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: tell Brown and somebody else, I don't remember the specifical

335
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: like Mike Evans. Uh, probably, but so they'll they'll need

336
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: somebody step up. It'd be cool to see him get

337
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: in there and do stuff. But we'll see, we will see.

338
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: All right, very quickly, let's talk about the debacle that

339
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: was Thursday Night football. Are we done? Are we done now?

340
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: And moving on? Are we? Are we done now? It was?

341
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: There's some stuff to talk about me. Yeah, it was.

342
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: It was an ugly game. I like, what the heck

343
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: is a Seth the valve? I didn't Seth Val is

344
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: a guy. Believe he's from Prince, He's from up this morning.

345
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: He's a big time athlete and he was super productive there. Yeah,

346
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: he's like a big I mean he's like in the

347
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: same mold as like a Gary Barnage type of player.

348
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: But I mean when I first saw the play and

349
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: I was like, oh Gary, but wait what? Yeah? Who?

350
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 1: He's an interesting player to to monitor. And then Karon

351
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: Waller caught another. I mean, it's like, what who are

352
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: these guys catching ball? It was the night of inconsequential

353
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: tight ends, which I am so here for as a

354
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: as a as just because it's just fine because people

355
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 1: freak out about it. And I loved chaos and Terrell

356
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: Pryor didn't do very much of anything. Coleman definitely didn't

357
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 1: do very much of anything, I think. I mean, really, honestly,

358
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: who who was I mean it was triple s, it

359
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: was the yeah, and that was it. Yeah, pretty much

360
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: there was. The running backs did nothing. I mean, look,

361
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: if you started the Ravens defense, you were happy. Hey,

362
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: I guess if you took a chance to start Joe Flacco,

363
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: you were happy. Hall of Famer Kenneth Dixon had a

364
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,719
Speaker 1: decent night. He had like thirty some yards rushing and

365
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: plready too receiving. I think that pass. I just wanted

366
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: to say it to you know, Royal up the ire

367
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: of Harmond. Well some somehow gel Hard this morning was

368
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: was tweeting about Kenneth Dixon. Of course, classic move. Uh.

369
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: And then somebody tagged me in and said, you know,

370
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon's just deleted his Twitter, And I said, I

371
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: can't wait for those big scores in my points for

372
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: looking good League. To be fair, he did have ten

373
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 1: points in PPR last night. But and then call Hard,

374
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: tweeting back a graphic of the of the the production

375
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: last night, said look at the numbers, you know, And

376
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't think you tweeting me something that

377
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: shows Terence West getting twenty one carries and Kenneth getting

378
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: six doesn't matter. I don't. But that's my point is

379
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: not like I don't even care if Terence West isn't

380
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: good anymore. I'm still waiting on a good reason to

381
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: give a damn about whether Kenneth Dixon looks Good's all.

382
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: In My original tweet was this is something to monitor

383
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: because he looked good in the passing game, he looked

384
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: good in the ground game. And if we start hearing

385
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: this drumbeat again through this this coming week of like

386
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: oh we need to give canetics and even more work,

387
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: then like he'll have flex consideration in PPR. I was

388
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: not guess, but it's a trash offense. It's not great.

389
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: So like, even if he becomes the lead back again,

390
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: still waiting on a good reason to care. Well, if

391
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: he's getting five catches a game for PPR, that's that's

392
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: pretty pretty By the way, this is this is more

393
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: prove than PPR stupid. Come on, I mean, like you

394
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: just said, you're like, oh, yeah, he had you know,

395
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: double digit points PPR stupid. All right, I don't. I

396
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: don't totally you know, he's not the only one getting

397
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: that bump I mean, it's just it doesn't better to

398
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: make it less stupid. Whatever. You you old people and

399
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: your your your words. I'm not in speaking of old

400
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: people in words. Let's go to the franchise. It's franchise.

401
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: It's fight youry phone. In of the week. My fire

402
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: thake is that Alfred Moore gets revenge on the red thing.

403
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: That's my favorite. I just love the fact that somebody

404
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: has to die every single time. The franchise on the

405
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: We have the franchise on the Horn franchise. Are you ready?

406
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: Are you wearing pants? My friend? No pas, no pants.

407
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's talk about your lock of the week.

408
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: Were you what was that? No pants? Siren? I'm sitting

409
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: in a burning room right now. I love it. Give

410
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: me your lock of the week, Beal High. Lock of

411
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: the week is uh Rob Kelly a k A. Fat

412
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: Rob of the Washington Redskins, And everyone's gonna be like, oh, well,

413
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 1: he's going up against the Miami Advising Minnesota Vikings defense.

414
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,719
Speaker 1: They're they're like intimidating and scaring at the bad matchup

415
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: on all this crap. You know what, I don't care

416
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 1: about that stuff. Stars. Rob Kelly is the starter label

417
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: starter over Matt Jones by the coach, and over the

418
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: last three weeks, Minnesota is allowed to combine four point

419
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 1: eight yards per terry adage to opposing running back and

420
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: I have given up a hundred and eighteen point seven

421
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game in their last three games to

422
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: uh to running back. Even theoretic last week, who's not

423
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: particularly known for his rushing prowate average four yards per

424
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,360
Speaker 1: carry against the Biking last week after averaging three point

425
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: seven for the season, So even he had success against

426
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: the Vikings defense last last week. And as a team,

427
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: the Redskins are average averaging four point five yards per terry,

428
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: seventh in the NFL. I think Kelly's gonna get all

429
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: the volume Matt Jones was, even there's reports he could

430
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: be a healthy scratch. So all these early down all

431
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 1: the early downwards gonna go to Kelly, and the goal

432
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: line works. So if you've got him, fire him up

433
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: against the Biking. I don't even I mean, I don't

434
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 1: even know what else to ask you. That sounded like

435
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: a fire take man, But give me your bust of

436
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: the week. Oh my bus, all right, my bus, My

437
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: bus is the week. It's Spencer where this week. Look, man,

438
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: I know we love where I know I have hold

439
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: on here, me on. Look, it's a it's a match

440
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: up thing. Okay, he's going against the Panthers, who, yeah,

441
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: they're past defense is awful, but they're allowing the lowest

442
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: ards per carry in the NFL three points three yards

443
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: per carry and Caroline has allowed just four total touchdowns

444
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: for running backs all season. And Spencer aware, though he

445
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: gets he gets his yardage through the air and on

446
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: the ground, he's only had three total touchdowns this year.

447
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: And you need touchdown to score fantasy points. In case

448
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: you haven't heard, franchise, give me a sleeper, buddy, all right,

00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: came he scored on that nice sixty nine yard touchdown

452
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: receptions and now you know Devanta Booker has been struggling.

453
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: We talked about this on Monday. But listen, they play

454

Speaker 1: the Saints have allowed to opposing running backs Week one

457
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, Jay Wonderchard with Tavis Murray and Jammie's

458
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: ol Wally all score touchdowns. Week two, the Giants are trash,

459
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: will just sweep that one on the under the rug.

460
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: Week three, DeVonta Freeman had two hundred and seven yards

461
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: and seven Coleman scored three touchdowns against the Saints. Week four,

462
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon scored twice in the RB six Week five

463
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: to the bye. Week six, uh Panthers running back Jonathan

464
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: Stewart the backup running back Jonathan Stewart, he scored twice

465
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: and lead running back Cam Newton scored once on Russian

466
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: cluchdown Spencer where in week seven had a hundred and

467
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: thirty one yards been a touchdown. Was the RB six

468
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: week ate the Seahawk awful backfield. Love you Christen Michael,

469
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: but you haven't been producing even he scored a touchdown

470
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: and c J Process at a hundred receiving yards against them,

471
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: and then last week freaking Doan Harrison the third stringer

472
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: at a hundred forty three yards in the touchdown. So

473
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: if Capri business snackbounds goes up, which the clock is

474
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: that happening, I can see him really producing as a

475
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: nice sleeper for fantasy teams this week against the Saints.

476
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: I am scared to ask you what your fire take

477
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: of the week is. This has been firearms all right,

478
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: but exact Peyton Barber is gonna be a running back

479
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: one this week? Whoa, he's gonna be the RB one,

480
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: well not the RB one, but like a top time Okay, okay, okay,

481
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 1: here we go. All right, but Don Martin, Doug Martin

482
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: was back on the practice field this week. Uh, he's

483
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: now a game time decision, which is not good news,

484
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: not great when guys are game time decisions are usually

485
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: not even if he plays, will probably be on a

486
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: snap count. Uh. He's not gonna come right back in

487
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: after being out for seven years and feel the show. Okay, guys,

488
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: he's not gonna do that. Peyton Barber's after four point

489
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: five yards per carry this season, which is pretty good

490
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: on his twenty seven attempts with one rushing touchdown. Uh.

491
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: And I think that Peyton barb is gonna get a

492
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: lot of work against the Bears. So let's go. If

493
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: you paint Barber is still hanging out and you're for

494
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: wire for some reason, go pick them up and start

495
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: him this week. I'm not scared that Doug Martin's coming back.

496
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: So that's it. Here's Is that annoying or no, it's great.

497
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: Here's my question. I have one question for you. Did

498
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 1: you go and buy that? So listen. I bought this

499
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: don't break. Look we live in southern California, right, so

500
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: the Dancer earthquakes is real. I thought this as it's

501
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: a is actually a solar powered UH safety emergency radio

502
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: that has an alarum and like a blinker on it. Star,

503
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: you are such a hipster. This is great. I love it.

504
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: I will say that as as one of the two

505
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: California natives on this on this podcast, that if there's

506
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,400
Speaker 1: a major earthquake, you won't need a siren to tell

507
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: people about it. No, I'll be at the top of

508
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 1: Running Canyon with my styron on the rock the rock,

509
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:11,439
Speaker 1: flying helicopters around find Andrea. Oh my god, this is great. Alright,

510
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: franchise man, We're gonna let you go. Brother, literally a

511
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 1: thousand years old. I hate this though, thank you. I

512
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,719
Speaker 1: respect having the microphone, the walkie talkie franchise. I love it.

513
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: I absolutely love it. Go go continue your cold take

514
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: all right later. Man, Oh my god, what was that

515
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: all about? Getting better. I don't know how he tops

516
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: himself every week, but he does well. When you're an artist,

517
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,639
Speaker 1: you're an artist. Also, for the record, I think the

518
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 1: purpose of having the siren on that walkie talkie is

519
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: also so if you're like buried in rubble, you can

520
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: play that and the sound will get out. Not to

521
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: be like, guys, there's an earth like it's like, somebody

522
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: please come. I was gonna say, if if, if there

523
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: there is even a little tremor, everybody talks about it

524
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: around right here, you won't need to alert it everyone.

525
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 1: Oh my god, feel the earthquake. I felt the earthquake.

526
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 1: Oh boy? All right, uh, let's talk about deep sleepers.

527
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: How do you follow that up? But I don't know.

528
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: You probably just stop. Alright, let's talk about deep sleepers.

529
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: Alex Gillhard, give me a deep sleeper. It's a Friday, people,

530
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: the waiver wires have already run. They're desperate right now.

531
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: You need a deep sleeper with high upside. Give it

532
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 1: to me. I'm gonna go with Eli Rodgers. Actually I

533
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: wrote him up. I forget if it was in the

534
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: pure waiver wire deep dive. But he missed a couple

535
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: of games with turf toe, and he missed another game

536
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 1: for disciplinary reasons. But in the games where he started,

537
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: he's been second in wide receiver snaps almost every game

538
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh. As we mentioned earlier, Marcus Wheat and Darias

539
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 1: Heyward Bay are out. And on top of that, the

540
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: Dallas secondary just lost Barry Church and I think Morris

541
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: Claiborne too, It is correct, So they're they're hurting there.

542
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to shift coverage over to Antonio Brown

543
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: so he doesn't completely destroy the game. That's gonna open

544
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: up a lot of stuff to Eli Rodgers. And on

545
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: the season, Dallas has allowed eighty four receptions to all

546
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers. That's the second most in the league. So

547
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: if you're looking for a sneaky play, I mean he

548
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: had over a hund yards last week. I think Eli

549
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: Rogers could continue a nice little run of success here.

550
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't want to clarify I did

551
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: I ruled Doug Martin out, didn't I He's a game

552
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: time decision. That's what I was like. I was getting confused.

553
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: I was I confused him with Tevin Coleman, who was

554
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: ruled out Red Jerseys. I mean it it happens. How

555
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: did you get your job? I don't know, so I apologize.

556
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: There you go, Doug Martin is a game time decision.

557
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Matt Harman. Um give me

558
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: a sleeper. So we need another siren for this one.

559
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: Burt alert Albert Wilson. Yeah, I think this is a

560
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: good game. With Jeremy Macklan ruled out last week, only

561
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: two receivers, Mike Evans and Robert Woods, had a higher

562
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 1: percentage of their team's intended air yards last week. So

563
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: Maclin without early in the game last week, Burt stepped up.

564
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: I mean he played the snaps, which only trailed Chris Connley.

565
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: I honestly, if you know, if I'm being for real,

566
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: I think that I could see any of Chris Connley,

567
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: Albert Wilson, or Tyreek Hill busting big. And I mean

568
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: Hill obviously his big playability. Conny is just a total

569
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: animal of an athlete. But Bert has been mostly a

570
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: slot receiver this year. He's accumulated seventy of his yards

571
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: from the slot. He's played his snaps from the slot.

572
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: So I think that Carolina definitely can be beat by

573
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: these interior receivers. They were one of the teams that

574
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: I profiled in the mid season Next Gen Stats report

575
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: as one of the weakest teams against slot receivers. I

576
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: think this is a pretty good matchup for him. There

577
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: you go, MGM got Marcus Grant sleeper. I am gonna

578
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: go with Clinton Patton in San Francisco exactly. If there's

579
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: one person I've never heard about, Marcus Grant. I I

580
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: am fully under the belief that waiting on garbage time

581
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 1: points is no way to live. But this week, when

582
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: you're talking about the Cardinals offense, most specifically David Johnson

583
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: going against that forty Niners run defense, I'm using air

584
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: quotes for defense. There um true he did this is

585
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: this is maybe a time you can sort of count

586
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: on garbage time yards for this team, and we saw

587
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: a lot of it last week against the Saints. The

588
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: Saints got up early on San Francisco, uh, and then

589
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, basically backed off defensively and allowed for Colin

590
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: Kaepernick to complete a lot of short and underneath throws.

591
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: Some of those turned into a big run after catch

592
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: plays that turned into touchdowns. But we saw a lot

593
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: of targets and a lot of plays for Quentin Patton

594
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: later in that game, and I think you're gonna see

595
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: a lot of the same this week. It also helps that,

596
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, recently seeing Colin Kaepernick really talk up Quentin

597
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: Patton and you know, believing that they really have something

598
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: going to two of them together. So this is the

599
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: kind of game where I can see Arizona running out

600
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: to a really quick lead and the forty Niners just

601
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: kind of throwing the football sort of trying to get

602
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: back for most of the second half, in Quentin Patton

603
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: being a beneficiary of that. There you go, I'll give

604
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: you one. How about Bryce Tregg's there in Philadelphia Homer

605
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: And this is actually a Homer take for real. Brass

606
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: Tregs went to Cal folks right. Oh, by the way, Uh,

607
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: he plays for Philadelphia, smallish cal receivers with great speed.

608
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: They've never done anything for Philadelphia Trends. That's right. That

609
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: was the most horrendous Trends segment I've ever witnessed. That's

610
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: not true. I just watched James reached through the wall

611
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: to pull that out of Listen, Bryce Tregs, No, but

612
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: really the fourth three four speed he's very fast. Uh.

613
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: And Doug Peterson has actually already talked about loving the

614
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: speed that Bryce Tregs has, and he's talked about wanting

615
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: to get him more incorporated, uh into the offense. Just

616
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: in his first game, two catches, four sixty yards. Nice

617
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: to his career. It's a very nice start to his career.

618
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: He's taken on Atlanta. They've given up the second most

619
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per game UH two wide receivers, so the

620
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: matchup is nice. I like what Doug Peterson is starting

621
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: to say about Bryce Treggs. I love the speed as well.

622
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 1: He's the only guy really on that wide receiver corps

623
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: that's got that over the top speed. They've got guys

624
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: that are are all pretty good. I think Jorge Matthews

625
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: is fine. I think Nelson Agaloor is fine, Dorial Greenbeckham

626
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: is fine, but none of those guys are burners. And

627
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: they need one guy to take that top off of

628
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: the defense. And that's what we saw last week with

629
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: Bryce Trex. It wouldn't surprise me at all. I guess

630
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: Atlanta him doing the exact same thing and putting up

631
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: a pretty nice statline play. Oh, by the way, that's

632
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: been Truefont not gonna play in this game either. See

633
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: you later I see. But you know what the funny

634
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: thing is, I don't know if that really matters, because

635
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: Trufont wasn't gonna ever guard a guy like Bryce Trex,

636
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 1: right But with Jordan Matthews being like almost strictly their

637
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: slot receiver right now, I think he probably would have

638
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: played some snaps outside, not like he would have tracked

639
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,120
Speaker 1: him around the field, but he would have run some

640
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 1: rounds against him, and the rest of those corners in

641
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta just can't really compare. I like it. So there

642
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: you go. Let's do a d G every damn game.

643
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: Let's start Kansas City at Carolina. MG. What you got, Kensay, Caroline.

644
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 1: I'm really kind of keeping an eye on the Chiefs

645
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers. It was something you talked about a little

646
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: bit earlier, and you know, the matchup on paper looks

647
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 1: really good, and it was. It was a game where

648
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: if Jeremy Macklin was playing, you feel like, hey, maybe

649
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 1: this is the breakout game that's not gonna happen. And

650
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 1: as much as I want to be excited about the

651
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: possibility of a Chiefs receiver, whether it is Albert Wilson,

652
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: Chris Conley, uh, you know, Tyreek Hill, all those guys

653
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: may be going off. I think what we've seen out

654
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: of the Chiefs passing game, and I think we all

655
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: kind of touched on it, is that they have not

656
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: ever shown in ability, certainly not with Alex Smith quarterback,

657
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: to take advantage of those situations. I would almost feel

658
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: better about a Chief's receiver here if Nick Foles were playing,

659
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: because Folds seems more likely to push the ball downfield

660
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: than Alex Smith throwing these you know, five yard dump

661
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,479
Speaker 1: offs they game in and game out. So I mean,

662
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 1: I like the opportunity. It just I guess I wouldn't

663
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: have the fortitude to actually pull the trigger putting into

664
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: these guys in my lineup this week Denver. Wait wait, wait,

665
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: wait wait, I want to circle back to that game.

666
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 1: I think this is a big, big week for Cam

667
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,959
Speaker 1: Newton and Calvin Benjamin. Big week. Just I wrote about

668
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: this in the Next Gen Stats column. Big week, and

669
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: then they performer that they have to perform. You know

670
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: that they performed like I think Benjamin's top ten receiver

671
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: this week. I think Cam Newton is the top quarterback

672
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: on the week, and I also think they'll both be

673
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: super not heavily played in daily fantasy, So if you're

674
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: playing there, I think that's a really good stack to

675
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: to to to utilize the one defense. One trend that

676
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: has held up pretty much throughout the season has been

677
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs get ripped up by receivers on the

678
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 1: left side, on the offensive left side and in the

679
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: slot because Marcus Peter is pretty much strictly sticks to

680
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: the defensive left side. This is what top receivers have

681
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: done when lined up at left wide receiver this season.

682
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson got sixty percent of his yards there, Dante

683
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: moncre percent of his yards, Michael Thomas of his yards,

684
00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: Marie Cooper scent of his yards, Antonio Brown of his yards,

685
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins of his yards. The only guy that didn't

686
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: really have a massive well, all of those guys had

687
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: had big games. I mean several of them went over

688
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: a hundred yards. Robinson scored a touchdown, Moncree scored a

689
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 1: touchdown like that has been something that's held up all year.

690
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: And Calvin Benjamin plays of his snaps at the left

691
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver position, so I think that he's been pretty

692
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: consistent this year. He's had seventy yards and or a

693
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: touchdown in all but one game this year, but this one,

694
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: I think he has a top ten ceiling boom. I

695
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 1: like it. Denver at New Orleans, Gilhard give me some infill. Well,

696
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 1: the first thing I think is, uh, this is a

697
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: game to start. I mean, the uh Saints passing attack great.

698
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: We know where the passing attack is going in Denver, yes,

699
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 1: so that's always good. But both ground games I think

700
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: could be viable. All four backs franchise hinted at could

701
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,839
Speaker 1: pretty Bibbs Davante Booker could still be started, and Tim

702
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: high Tower and mark ingram So. I mentioned this briefly

703
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 1: on Monday's podcast, but the Saints have been fifty in

704
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: the run past split the last two weeks versus in

705
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: favor of the past weeks one through seven. They the

706
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: average thirty six rush attempts a game the last two

707
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: weeks versus just sixteen a game in that week one

708
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: through seven span. Uh. They've out possessed opposing teams by

709
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: over thirty minutes in their last two games as well.

710
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 1: So I think they're going to They've kind of had

711
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 1: an offensive shift in philosophy and they're gonna continue to

712
00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: pound the rock. Denver gives up the thirteenth most yards

713
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 1: per carrying the league with four point to three two

714
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: yards excuse me. And we talked about that early surprising

715
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 1: and Derek Wolfe was just ruled out as well, one

716
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: of their best interior defenders. So this is a defensive

717
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: line that got man handled the last time we saw

718
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: it by the Oakland offensive line. And while that's a

719
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: fantastic offensive line, Saints aren't up to that level. I

720
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: still think both guys will be able to get it done.

721
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: And then on the flip side, the Saints allowed the

722
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,359
Speaker 1: second highest yards per target in the league, running backs

723
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: over nine yards per target, and we'd mail both Booker

724
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: and we saw pre bibs or capable pass catchers out

725
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: of the backfield. And if the Denver ends up playing

726
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,879
Speaker 1: catch up a little bit because it's the Saints team

727
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: at home, I think both guys will be in good spots.

728
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: And uh, Harmon, you wrote up my Thomas against the

729
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 1: Denver for next Gen Stats. You want to jump in

730
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,399
Speaker 1: on that a little bit. Yeah, It's it's a tough

731
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: proposition because Chris Harris has pretty much strictly been playing

732
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: at right cornerback, which he's gonna put him against, uh,

733
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: and he's been particularly playing there since a keep Talib

734
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: has gone out over his snaps have come at right cornerback,

735
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: which will pay put him against Michael Thomas at left

736
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So I think that's gonna be the Thomas's

737
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: toughest test so far. So I don't know, it's It's

738
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: still pretty much the no fly zone for me. I'm

739
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: not super excited about Thomas. Brandon Cooks is going to

740
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: see a lot of Bradley Roby, who ran a four

741
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: three nine coming out of college. I think he can

742
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: cover Brandon Cooks, but how do you sit Cooks at home?

743
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Uh, And Willie Sneed is interesting to

744
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: me because I think with Chris Harris having to stay

745
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: outside because to Leive's absence and Bradley Rode moving to

746
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: left cornerback, I think that needs in a pretty good

747
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: position for a big game against the middle of the

748
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: field coverage for Denver, which has been a little bit

749
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: of a weakness at times. L A, We're gonna stay

750
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: with you, Harmon l A at New York taking on

751
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: the Jets. What are you watching for in that game?

752
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: I mean, this game probably gonna be gross, right. Brian

753
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick hurt like I just I don't gold hurt by

754
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: the main gold. Yeah, he's not even and he's already

755
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: ruled out right, I think, so I don't. I don't know.

756
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: It's it's to me like with the only one on

757
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: the Jets that I really want to play with any excitement,

758
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: not even excitement, but just want to play is Brandon Marshall.

759
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you probably have to play Matt Forte, of course,

760
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: because he's just been such a workhorse most of the season.

761
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: But on the Rams side, what's interesting to me is

762
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: I think Lance Kendricks is a really good streaming tight

763
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 1: end this week, and I know that kind of feels

764
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 1: like point chasing after he had twelve targets and ninety

765
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 1: yards last week. He could have even had a touchdown,

766
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: but he dropped it, of course because he's not that good.

767
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: But he's played on scent of the team snaps the

768
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: last three weeks. He's had target totals eight, nine, and

769
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: twelve in that span, and the Jets give up the

770
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: six month targets per game two tight ends on the season.

771
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: So if you need a streaming tight end, probably not

772
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: a huge upside guy, but I think Kendricks can give

773
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: you a floor. Also don't mind double down and a

774
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: double rolling down on Brian Quick after whiffing on it

775
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: last week. He's still the deep third in the offense,

776
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: and the Jets cannot defend the deep bass. It's true, Kenny.

777
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Kenny BRIT's a bad play either. No, no, no, no,

778
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean me neither. It's been mr consistent in that passing.

779
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely get a lot of Kenny Brick questions on my timeline.

780
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm always like, hey, these actually not bad Green Bay

781
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. MGM, my got Marcus Grant. Definitely want to

782
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: look at the quarterbacks in this one. I mean, I

783
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 1: know that's not necessarily saying a whole lot when one

784
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks is Aaron Rodgers, but you know, the

785
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: Titans homer await. The Titans have been very vulnerable against

786
00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the last few weeks. But I also look at

787
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: one because Marcus Mariotta obviously has played very good football recently,

788
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: but also because you know at the start of the

789
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: year that there's obviously a lot of handwringing over the

790
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: Packer offense. The last few weeks, the Packer defense has

791
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: been vulnerable, given up thirty points or more in three

792
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: of the last four games. Clay Matthews, it looks like

793
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: what he may be out again this week. Okay, so

794
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,959
Speaker 1: he's already ruled out this week, So that's another big

795
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: loss at the big piece that continues to be missing

796
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: from the Packer defense. And I just think we've seen

797
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: Marcus Mario to get a lot more comfortable in this

798
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: offense in the last few weeks, not only throwing the football,

799
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: but he is starting to run a little bit more

800
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: as well, which is something we thought he would do

801
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: last year and he didn't. But that makes him a

802
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: lot more dangerous. Obviously, the Titans are a very run

803
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,320
Speaker 1: heavy team and this is a game that very sneakily

804
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: could end up as a shootout this week. Alright, a

805
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: great Mariotta also, for the record, has fifteen touchdowns and

806
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: just uh three interceptions, with two of them are on

807
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: the ground. So he's fifteen, fifteen touchdowns and five turnovers

808
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: in the last five weeks. It's not You'll take that

809
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: all day long. Atlanta taking on Philadelphia in Philadelphia, Gail

810
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: Hard what you got? Uh? This is a week for

811
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,839
Speaker 1: Darren Sprawls. I think franchise wrote him up as one

812
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:56,720
Speaker 1: of his Aaron ground matchup players, but he's out snapped

813
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews to sixteen the last two weeks. Doug Peterson

814
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 1: came out and said, yeah, I guess Darren Sprowls is

815
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: our lead back and captain right. Atlanta has allowed the

816
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 1: most receiving yards to running backs too, and this is

817
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: a game where we would expect the Atlanta offense to

818
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: get a lead on Philadelphia. Even other defense has been

819
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: great and I think actually might be number one in

820
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: football outsiders d v o A. No defense has really

821
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,920
Speaker 1: slowed Atlanta's offense yet, So if they're if the Eagles

822
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 1: are trying to play catch up or chasing points, Darren

823
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: Sprawls is the top back to play on third downs

824
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: and be a pass catching option. I think he's a

825
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,279
Speaker 1: great guy. There. We mentioned Jordan Matthews a little bit.

826
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: I think he's a strong play. You're starting DeVonta Freeman,

827
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, all that jazz um and and that's about it.

828
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: There you go, Minnesota at Washington matt Harmon looks like

829
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: a gross game on paper. Yeah, but I think this

830
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: game is interesting for a few players. I think stefp

831
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,759
Speaker 1: cited about this game. Are you yeah? I mean, I

832
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: think that the Vikings offense is interesting to talk about

833
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: right now because with the complete and utter collapse of

834
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: their offensive line and now Pat Shermer stead of North

835
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: Turner being the offensive coordinator, we saw a short plastic change.

836
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if you just look at the route charts

837
00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 1: from Stefon diggs is week two explosion to his thirdteen

838
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: catch eighty yard game last week, it's just completely different,

839
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: just all short routes. Uh, Bradford average just three point

840
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: nine air yards on his completions against the Lions. That's

841
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: ridiculously low. I mean, it's it's it's insane. He's getting

842
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:23,479
Speaker 1: rid of the ball in an average of two point

843
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: to five seconds. And so I think that quick strike

844
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: passing game, though, does benefit Diggs, who played a season

845
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: high snaps in the slot last week, which should put

846
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: him away from Josh Norman. Still really like Diggs's start,

847
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: don't really like anybody else in the Vikings offense. I

848
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: think that's pretty clear. Car Rudolph, I think only had

849
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: one catch last week, and that's like a Norv Turner

850
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,399
Speaker 1: thing to be a tight end guy, so that I'm

851
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,839
Speaker 1: a little bit nervous about that. But uh, and Then

852
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: on Washington side, I mean, Rob Kelly, I think is

853
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: in a good position this week. He's not a great play.

854
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:52,840
Speaker 1: To me, I still think there's not a ton of

855
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 1: clarity in that backfield. But literally, you didn't listen to franchise. Yeah,

856
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: but franchise. And I also went on the network and

857
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: trash Rob Kelly. So I don't know what the hell is.

858
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't know where his that was before his his

859
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: good game across the pond, Now that was after the game.

860
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: It was, but it was, yeah, it was. It was

861
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: in the Bibe. I So, I don't know where the

862
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: hell franchise is right now. But that's fine. He's pants

863
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: less in Hollywood. Realized you're gonna hear about this on

864
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: the Sunday, I know, and I don't care. And then

865
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: but on the on Washington's passing game side, kind of

866
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: like Kirk Cousins against this defense, do you Because they're

867
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: weak in the middle of the field, man, and that

868
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: is where Washington is strongest. I think they can just

869
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 1: pick them apart down the field. With Jordan Reed, who

870
00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: leads the NFL and targets per game among tight ends,

871
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: and Jameson Crowder, who leads the team in receiving yards. Shockingly,

872
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: I think those two guys are still pretty good plays.

873
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: Maybe there are better streamers than Kirk Cousins, but whatever.

874
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: My one concern is that I Next and Stats had

875
00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: pulled this up for me, that the Vikings have allowed

876
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: the fewest yards and receptions to wide receivers out of

877
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: the slot. Um. I don't think they faced exactly a

878
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: murderer's row of slot wide receivers. So you have to

879
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: wonder if strength versus strength, if the Cousins Crowder connection

880
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: beats that, especially with some people being banged up on

881
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: the are not playing as well as I should be

882
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 1: on It just feels like one of those three interception

883
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousin games where one of it. It's like a

884
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: thirteen seven game. Could it? Could? It? Could be? I

885
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,759
Speaker 1: think that is in the That isn't the range about

886
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: fantasy aside. Why I'm interested in this game is this

887
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: is two teams that are right now in the thick

888
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: of the playoff rice that have some questions. Look, did

889
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: you bring in real football? And I would like I can't.

890
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm interested to see him go head to head. I

891
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: like it Houston taking on Jacksonville, MG. What you got

892
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: This game is gross. Oh my god, this game is

893
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: super gross. Um. You know, first off, in the notes

894
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: of DeAndre Hopkins, you are challenging. You're saying you would

895
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: welcome being shadowed and followed all over the field by

896
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. Um. Look, Jalen Ramsey has erased a number

897
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: of quality wide receivers this year, and DeAndre Hopkins has

898
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: to realize that with the quarterback situation being what it

899
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: is in Houston, you're already playing with one hand tied

900
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: behind your back. So good luck to you. Um, have

901
00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: fun with that. I mean, the guy I'm really keeping

902
00:45:04,520 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: an eye on, and this one is Lamar Miller. The

903
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: Jaguar run defense has been sort of middle of the

904
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: road most of the year. Um, not great, not terrible,

905
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: just kind of there. But the word coming out of

906
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: Houston this week is that they still look for Miller

907
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: to be a workhorse. He's still nursing that shoulder injuries

908
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 1: we talked about earlier, but they still expect him to

909
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: be a workhorse. And this is a guy who's averaged

910
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: about twenty two touches per game, partially because of his ability,

911
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: partially because the quarterback has not been very good. There,

912
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: But I would think that if he continues to get

913
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 1: that kind of volume against a fairly average run defense,

914
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: and especially because Miller can catch the ball out of

915
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 1: the backfield, there's a chance for him to be very

916
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: productive this week. So you know, I like him as

917
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: an RV two potentially in Week ten. Um. Beyond that,

918
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: there's nothing else about this game that really excites me.

919
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: And I'm keeping an eye on Alan Hearns to see

920
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: what his situation is that he goes through the concussion

921
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: protocol play. But I think, well, I think if Herns

922
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: doesn't play, then those targets kind of gets split up

923
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: between Allen Robinson and Mark Kisley. But I don't I

924
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 1: don't be cleared though, right. I know he was. He

925
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,000
Speaker 1: was limited in practice on Thursday, UM, but he still

926
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 1: hadn't gone through all the steps of the protocol to

927
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 1: officially be cleared. So I think we're gonna be waiting

928
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: on this one, probably till Sunday morning. UM. Like Chris

929
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: Ivory in this game, yeah, And I mean I'm not

930
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: I have not been about Chris Ivory at all this year. No,

931
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: but he was a pretty big factor in And I

932
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 1: don't always like take coach speak to be a big thing.

933
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: But look, Dathaniel Hackett said, I want to come out

934
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 1: and and make the running game of focus. Chris Ivery

935
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 1: had a season high eighteen carries popped off a hundred

936
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,919
Speaker 1: seven yards against the Chiefs last week. The Texans run

937
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: defense has not been good in the absence of Shock,

938
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: one of the best players in the game and J. J. Watt.

939
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: They are Football Outsiders ranked run defense on the season

940
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: and they have all out of four point nine yards

941
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: per carry over the last month. Interesting. I really think

942
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: this could be mean it's playing with fire because it's

943
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: still a committee backfield and Chris Ivory is like, you

944
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: know whatever. But there's the Bortles factor. Yeah, I mean,

945
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 1: Bortles could screw this up pretty quickly, but it is

946
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: in But it is in Jacksonville at least. I mean,

947
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: if Bortles throws two pick six is in the first quarter,

948
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: goodbye Chris Ivory. True true, true, that no doubt, But

949
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean that was we kind of saw that happen. Yeah,

950
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: and Chris Ivery still got eighteen carry So I think

951
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: that if you have him and you need some help

952
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: of running back, it's not a bad call. Also, let's

953
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: not forget about c J for Bronko wits over the

954
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: last five weeks. Over the last five weeks, he has

955
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 1: over eight percent of the targets and he has fifty

956
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,839
Speaker 1: percent of broadcast Wiler's touchdowns. Doesn't he lead the team

957
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: in like every relevant receiving category except targets pretty much? Yeah,

958
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: but his target told us the last five weeks have

959
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 1: been five eight seven, seven, seven, Like, that's fantastic. And

960
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 1: you know Marcus is trashing on PPR. But four four, six,

961
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 1: five five for his catches with three touchdowns spread out,

962
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 1: that's he like this year's Gary Barnage Chicago at Tampa

963
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: Bany will stay with you, Alex Gilharner, what you're watching?

964
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: What am I watching? Nothing over this? No, I'm just kidding. No, No,

965
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm just gidding. Have been fired. I was distracted. Um.

966
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:15,760
Speaker 1: I think that this is a game where the number

967
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: one wide receivers are too of probably the top three

968
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: or four options on the week, al Shan Jeffrey and

969
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: al Shan Jeffrey and Mike Evans. We know the Tampa

970
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 1: Bay secondary is bad. Cutty loves pummeling Jeffrey with targets.

971
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: Uh And on the flip side, nobody can cover Mike

972
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 1: Evans on the Bears. He leads the league and touchdown receptions.

973
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,439
Speaker 1: I think this could be a sneaky game for Adam

974
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: Humphries to with ccil cecil shorts seeing seeing a lot

975
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: of snaps but not doing much with them. Humphrey slid

976
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 1: and had a decent game last week with Russell Sheppard out. Plus,

977
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: the Bears have struggled against slot recorders a slot receivers

978
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 1: while I'm falling apart at times this year, both Randall

979
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: Cobbin Cole Beasley had good days against them. Running backwise,

980
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: Sure start Jordan Howard if you want, but this the

981
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: box have a pretty good on defense and then we'll

982
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: just leave franchises. Peyton Barber, rb one take that. Enough said.

983
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: By the way, Cutler is a good streamer. Oh my god,

984
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,360
Speaker 1: I love Cutler this wee. I love both both keybes

985
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: should probably be pretty good streamers, you know what. You

986
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm feeling though in this game. This is

987
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 1: just total cut call based off of nothing. I'm just

988
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: scared that Chicago is gonna get down there. This is

989
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: gonna be one of those stupid cadem carry four carry

990
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: three touchdown games. Listen James, why would you put in

991
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,399
Speaker 1: kissed me right off? I I have seen enough John

992
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 1: Fox football in my life to know that as completely

993
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,920
Speaker 1: within the range. This this Jordan Howard is a feature

994
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: back is it ain't it ain't a thing until the

995
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: Fat Ladies sung, he was like this. He was out

996
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: snapped the week before his breakout games by Deem Carry. Yes,

997
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: I mean nothing whatever. I don't even know what to

998
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: say about. By the way, schedulemakers, come on, man, help

999
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: us out a little bit. There's like a but jillion

1000
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: games in the morning and then there's five there's like

1001
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 1: three games that start at one pm local time here

1002
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:06,160
Speaker 1: in l A. I think it was so much better

1003
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: last week when it was pretty even. We had like

1004
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: more even split. Yeah, unbelievable. Uh no, but literally one

1005
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 1: to three, six, seven, eight games in the morning in

1006
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: the early slate and then one to three games you know,

1007
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: eight or afternoon. You know what it's like with with this,

1008
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: It's like it's like when you really start going hard,

1009
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: like day drinking and partying, like really early in the morning,

1010
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: and you get all those games in and then you

1011
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 1: kind of hit that lull in the afternoon. We're like,

1012
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: oh man, I'm like drunk, but you know, and then

1013
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: you realize that Sunday night football still there, and you're like,

1014
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,959
Speaker 1: oh man, nobody's even at this party yet. I gotta

1015
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: I gotta get back out. But then yeah, it's hard

1016
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 1: to get back up for it in the afternoon. Oh boy,

1017
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: Miami taking on San Diego. Matt Harmon, what are you

1018
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: watching for? So? I mean, I think the two big

1019
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: storyline the big storylines, and this one is the two

1020
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,719
Speaker 1: running backs, and I mean j j I's coming in hot. Uh.

1021
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: San Diego's run defense has been good this year, but

1022
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 1: especially with Joey so back there, but they have given

1023
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 1: a ton of production up to the air to this point.

1024
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: J j I hasn't been like a huge factor in

1025
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,120
Speaker 1: the passing game, but that was receiving yards on the season, right,

1026
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 1: But he was a great receiver at Boise Boise State,

1027
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: and I would love to see if he can get

1028
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: involved more. I mean, you're not sitting j J I.

1029
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,799
Speaker 1: He's not totally animal and he's I mean, it's it's

1030
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: hard to overstate how awesome he has been, which makes

1031
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,880
Speaker 1: men incredible, which considering there are a ton of articles

1032
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: about they're like out in like two thousand ft about

1033
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: me talking about j J. I. This makes me very

1034
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: very happy to see um and going going to Melvin

1035
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: Gordon's side, was talking about him a little bit on

1036
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: Twitter day and and just this kind of like a

1037
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: existential rant about him, Like this is the exact example

1038
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,240
Speaker 1: of running backs benefit from chaos more than any other position.

1039
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 1: Because he has been great the last three weeks. He's

1040
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: had thirty touches per game in each of the last

1041
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: three he leads the NFL and red zone touches among

1042
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 1: running backs on the season. There's no way he has

1043
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: zero point zero present chance he has this season if

1044
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: Danny Wood had doesn't get hurt. And that's what I

1045
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: mean by chaos benefiting running backs. So I think you

1046
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: roll both these guys out here, especially Gordon's in a

1047
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: really good spot at home against the Dolphins. Love it,

1048
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: and I like to charge. I like to charge his

1049
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: passing game players. I mean Tyrol Williams I think is

1050
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: going to be great in this game. I like Philip

1051
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: Rivers in this spot. Uh, the Antonio Gates and Hunter Henry.

1052
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: If if Henry plays, is going to be a little

1053
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 1: bit dicier than it was last week. And then on

1054
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,760
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. It's Jarvis Andrey and that's it. Weirdly, I'm

1055
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: looking forward to I don't feel it's gonna be a

1056
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: really fun game to watch this. I think if those

1057
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: two backs start like trading blows, I think it'll be great.

1058
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 1: Is the only reason I think it could turn into

1059
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: into a Garbo game pretty quick is if the Chargers

1060
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: build a big lead on the Dolphins and then we

1061
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: see Ryan Tannehill. The whole reason that has ascended is

1062
00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: because Adam Gates has taken the ball out of Tannehill's

1063
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,160
Speaker 1: hands completely. Even said in the news this week like

1064
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,439
Speaker 1: he's told his coaches, don't ever let me go away

1065
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: from and if they have to go, oh man, that's

1066
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,960
Speaker 1: gonna that's gonna spend things in a bed direct that

1067
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: that makes me smile for one being a total a

1068
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: g I fan, and also just like a coach being like, look,

1069
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: I might do something stupid. Don't let me do it. Though. Uh.

1070
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: The one thing I worry about with Philip Rivers in

1071
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 1: this game. You mentioned those running backs, and they've they've leaned.

1072
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: Both have leaned heavily on the run game. There's no

1073
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: question about it. And I know it's Philip's team. But

1074
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: that clock is gonna go fast. I just don't know

1075
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 1: how many opportunities he's gonna have, especially in that red zone.

1076
00:53:19,920 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit worried about Philip Rivers, even though

1077
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: I know it's his offense, it's his team, and he

1078
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: will sling it. There is no question. It's just that

1079
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: when that clock starts getting milk that fast, I just

1080
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 1: I have concerns. It's It's exactly why we've talked about

1081
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: Dallas being uh not a great play in terms of

1082
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: going against their defense, even though their personnel is not

1083
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: that great. They just fleed that clock pretty hard. San

1084
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 1: Francisco at Arizona, mGy, what are you watching for? First off,

1085
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 1: I'm watching to see if the Niers can stay within

1086
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: three touchdowns of this thing. Um I think they do.

1087
00:53:53,560 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: I mean sure, okay, whatever in all the in your

1088
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: lineup against a historically bad run defense will be the

1089
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: easiest decision you have to make. Maybe in bro like

1090
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: he go, does he go for more or less than

1091
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: twenty two? It's more more is he is he? Is

1092
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: he the best back or is he the greatest back?

1093
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's the only dispute. So the one thing

1094
00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 1: though I am looking at because on paper everything, every

1095
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: cardinal looks like a good start this week. I do

1096
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,880
Speaker 1: worry a little bit about Carson Palmer and the guys

1097
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: in the passing game in the sense that if they

1098
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 1: jump out to a big lead, which again is possible,

1099
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: that they may not have to lean on them. So

1100
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: I do like Carson Palmer potentially as a sleeper start.

1101
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: I guess can you make him a sleeper I don't know,

1102
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: but as they start this week, um, but also keep

1103
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: in mind that you know, if things get out of

1104
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: hand early, that he may not put up as many

1105
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,120
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns that you want. So you want you

1106
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: want him to get that production early in the ballgame

1107
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,320
Speaker 1: and then let David Johnson kind of salt this thing away,

1108
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: or if anything, have Carson Palmer throw the ball to

1109
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: David Johnson and have it have it go that direct. Um,

1110
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: because you didn't. I did mention, by the way, the

1111
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: Quentin Patton as a deep sleeper. I guess you can

1112
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 1: maybe Jeremy Curlely into that as well. Uh. You know,

1113
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: I know that Carlos Hide is still trying to fight

1114
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: his way back and potentially play this week. I wouldn't

1115
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:24,680
Speaker 1: like him. I mean, just to have him go out

1116
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:26,760
Speaker 1: there and not be a hundred percent against his cardinal

1117
00:55:26,760 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: defense doesn't see him all that appealing. It's a terrible

1118
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:33,320
Speaker 1: matchup a lot of good things, you know, and again,

1119
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, Dawan Harris, you know again, I don't. I

1120
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 1: just don't like any of the running backs in this

1121
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 1: game for the forty Niners. I just I just want

1122
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: to share a good quote from from Evan Silva on

1123
00:55:42,680 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 1: on his podcast this week. His exact words were, if

1124
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:50,760
Speaker 1: if David Johnson doesn't just crush it in this spot,

1125
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 1: and then I don't even know why we're doing this.

1126
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 1: And that's just a perfect example because couldn't you just

1127
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: see you know, and I don't take this as real analysis,

1128
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,240
Speaker 1: but couldn't you see just some bs like David Johnson

1129
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 1: finishes this game with like eight points or some stupid

1130
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:09,479
Speaker 1: thing like just just just because just because life sucks,

1131
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: Like you know why, Jermaine Gressim is gonna have two

1132
00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: red zone touchdown because just because play action fakes to

1133
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: David Johnson and Jermaine Gressim is just standing there in

1134
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 1: the end, there you go. Carson Palmer throws three touchdowns,

1135
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 1: they get up twenty one maybe twenty seven to nothing

1136
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: and nothing in the right quarter, and DJ just sits

1137
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: just some stupid might quit if that happened. I mean,

1138
00:56:32,400 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: it's a great like That's why the quote just made

1139
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: like it made me laugh when I actually was listening

1140
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 1: to it, just just like why why are we even

1141
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: doing it? By the way, Adam Rank spoiler alert on

1142
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: the Fantasy danger Zone, but Adam Rank has Andre Ellington

1143
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: as his deep sleeper this week because that's how out

1144
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:51,879
Speaker 1: of hand he's That's that's not a bad call, man.

1145
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: That really that really all pretty much assume this is

1146
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: going to happen. The Niners will be within three, Like

1147
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,680
Speaker 1: I know it, don't be surprised. I'm just saying, Dallas

1148
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:05,640
Speaker 1: at Pittsburgh, gilhar what you got? Uh? Well, one player

1149
00:57:05,680 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: I really like in this matchup is Cole Beasley. Uh

1150
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: and Jason Witten could have another decent week against Pittsburgh.

1151
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: Per our Next Gen Stats packet, the Steelers allow the

1152
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: fifth most receptions out of the slot to wide receivers

1153
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:21,439
Speaker 1: forty nine versus a forty NFL average, and also allow

1154
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 1: the fifth most receptions allowed to tight ends out of

1155
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: the slot with twenty three, seven above the league average.

1156
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,800
Speaker 1: So I think what you're telling me is Gavin school

1157
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: Ball get out of here. I mean, we never started

1158
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: seeing we haven't we never starting. Brown already talked to

1159
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: Eli Rodgers, Uh that that Bell guy is pretty good.

1160
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 1: What about Coats? Well, I just strug emoji good radio.

1161
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what what do you think about Coats?

1162
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't have a good feeling about him. I don't know.

1163
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: I think that I wouldn't be surprised if if this game,

1164
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: by the way, Pittsburgh at home. It is the home game,

1165
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh at home. Coats played a lot last week. He

1166
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: dropped a touchdown obvious sleep that's what he does. I

1167
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 1: could certainly see this though, still that the deep game

1168
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 1: usages there. Ben Roethlisberger looks better in a second week back.

1169
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,800
Speaker 1: I could see this being a big Coats week, I think,

1170
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 1: and you know I don't hate it. Yeah, Roethlisberger does

1171
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 1: lead the league. Also pronection stats in deep past attempts

1172
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: at plus yards sho he has forty eight on the year.

1173
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: Holy hell, and those go to Coats man and look

1174
00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:27,440
Speaker 1: like Wheaton's out, Heyward Bay is out. They need somebody

1175
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: else to step up other than Antonio Brown yeah, but

1176
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,560
Speaker 1: don't be surpised. A b just gets crazy. Oh yeah,

1177
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: I think it's big, big week for him. All right,

1178
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: Seattle take it on New England. Man, Harmon, what do

1179
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: he got? This game? I think is going to be

1180
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: really fun to watch. I also think that we have

1181
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: a pretty clear idea of how New England is going

1182
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:43,400
Speaker 1: to play this one. Again. This this comes from Evan Silva,

1183
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: who owes me like fifty bucks for naming him twice

1184
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: on the show, because because nobody's ever heard of him before,

1185
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, not a not a main not a mainstream guy.

1186
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:56,919
Speaker 1: But he noted that in his matchups column that New

1187
00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:00,040
Speaker 1: England has totaled fifty and fifty eight pass attempts in

1188
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: their last two meetings with Seattle. Over the last five years.

1189
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 1: They're running backs only touch or only carried the ball

1190
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 1: eighteen and twenty six times. It's weird considering the legion

1191
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 1: of Boom. It just doesn't make sense. But you can

1192
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 1: pick on Seattle in the middle of the field. I mean,

1193
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,440
Speaker 1: we we noted last season that that was a thing

1194
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: you could do. Remember Marcus Wheaton ripped them up from

1195
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: the slot for two yards. Last week Robert Woods just

1196
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: went berserk like had a career a hundred sixty yard game.

1197
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: He got a hard thirty one of those yards. Seriously,

1198
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: where the hell did that? Alright, right, alright, got he

1199
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 1: got eighty one of those yards when he was lined

1200
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: up in the slot. So I think that's a pretty

1201
00:59:34,600 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: good game for Julian Edelman. I think it's obviously a

1202
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: big game for Gronk. So don't be afraid just because

1203
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 1: your Patriots are are playing Seattle about guys like Brady Gronk.

1204
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: And I mean, I think Martellis Bennett if you if

1205
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: you in need of tight end help is good. You know,

1206
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: the Garret Bunt might finally see his streak of touchdowns

1207
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,120
Speaker 1: in every game that Tom Brady plays come to an

1208
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: end with lack of opportunities. But at the same time,

1209
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a he's a TD threat every week

1210
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: I have I have a tough time sitting him. And

1211
00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: then on Seattle side, it's a tough spot. It's a

1212
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: tough spot for Seattle. I think they're coming off a

1213
01:00:03,200 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: short week on Monday night, they're going across the country.

1214
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: We really don't have any clarity in the backfield. They

1215
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: say C. J. Process is gonna play more, but like

1216
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: that could just mean he's going to have seven touches

1217
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,919
Speaker 1: instead of like two or whatever. You know, so who knows,

1218
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,520
Speaker 1: and you kind of know. I'm I want to watch

1219
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 1: the way they defend Jimmy Graham because I think we

1220
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,919
Speaker 1: know Belichick always likes to take away the top threat,

1221
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 1: and I think that's gonna be Jimmy Graham this week.

1222
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: So like, you still play Jimmy Graham, but don't be

1223
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: surprised if you're disappointed at the end of this game. Man,

1224
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great fun game to watch, I think.

1225
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about prime time Sunday night football.

1226
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: It's it's in New England. The fans are gonna be rabid.

1227
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: They know about the whole Super Bowl history. It's a

1228
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 1: dope super Bowl that when they played too man. Apparently

1229
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: I didn't read it, but I think Frank Schwab from

1230
01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:48,480
Speaker 1: Yahoo wrote a little think piece about how that's possibly

1231
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: the greatest game in NFL history. Interesting, it's not bad,

1232
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: and it's not bad. It's it's definitely one of the

1233
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: most memorable. As somebody who was there, not trying to

1234
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,640
Speaker 1: humble brag, it was probably the best football game I've

1235
01:00:57,640 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 1: ever witnessed in person. And I'm not trying to humble brag.

1236
01:00:59,800 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: Here's humble breger. Okay, Cincinnati. I knew he worked, and

1237
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: there was no way around that if I didn't address

1238
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: that leak was a super Bowl. It's a good Steer

1239
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: and Nattie taking on the Giants. They're gonna be in

1240
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: New York. MG, what do you want? Uh? I'm really

1241
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: watching Paul Perkins in this one um before, but I

1242
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: know where you're going on with this. I'm not. I'm

1243
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: not suggesting that he's gonna jump in and be some

1244
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: sort of fantasy stud I am, but don't get it.

1245
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 1: I want to see how they start to because obviously

1246
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: Rashan Jennings is not the answer. He's just not. I mean,

1247
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: his his numbers, his production, his usage have all been bad.

1248
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 1: This is turning into more of a committee situation, and

1249
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 1: Perkins is starting to get more burned in this offense.

1250
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,240
Speaker 1: So I want to take a look at him and

1251
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,840
Speaker 1: see how the Giants are deploying him, if he's gonna

1252
01:01:51,840 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 1: actually start to get more snaps and more touches. This

1253
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: is a guy that at best I'm advocating as a

1254
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: pickup and stash just to see how things go the

1255
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: rest of the year. But I can't just advocate you

1256
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: grabbing Paul Perkins and throwing him in your lineup this week.

1257
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I still want to believe in the Giants

1258
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 1: passing game, even though it hasn't really given me much

1259
01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,840
Speaker 1: reason to do so. I mean that means I think

1260
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 1: you can still believe in O. B J. But I mean,

1261
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 1: let's be honest. Looking around, Odell Beckham production wise has

1262
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: been the equivalent of Terrell Prior, which is fine. For

1263
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior, It's not what you were expecting from Beckham

1264
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 1: this year, and it has a lot to do with,

1265
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, the passing games. They have similar numbers, they

1266
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,919
Speaker 1: have similar fantasy numbers at least. Yeah. Tarrell Prior was, Yeah,

1267
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: this is before Thursday's game, was a top ten scoring

1268
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver in PPR and standard leagues, you know. So yeah,

1269
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's great for a guy that was

1270
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,040
Speaker 1: supposed to you know, that was a converted quarterback. You know,

1271
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: you know why he was expecting much from It's different though,

1272
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: when you're talking about a guy that you drafted, you know,

1273
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: late first round overall, I would have taken him at

1274
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: one overall, I was on the board, so there you go. Um,

1275
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, but I think I think it also completely

1276
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: diminishes Sterling Shepard. Uh. You know, Victor Cruz, depending on

1277
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: what his injury status, is not going to really be

1278
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 1: much of anything. Sounds like he's not gonna play Victor Cruz. Um, yeah, don't.

1279
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 1: I think he's pretty much doubtful. Roger lewis hype for

1280
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,200
Speaker 1: the Bengals. You know, a J. Green will continue to

1281
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: be a J. Green. He'll be fine. I worry a

1282
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,920
Speaker 1: little bit about Andy dalton Um, who has very quietly

1283
01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:28,240
Speaker 1: put together very nice fantasy season, but I worry about

1284
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: his production a little bit this week against that Giant's defense,

1285
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: and they, like any of the backs, I just don't

1286
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: know what to do with them. I continue to not

1287
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 1: know what to do it. I actually got it right

1288
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 1: the one a couple of weeks ago when I have

1289
01:03:40,040 --> 01:03:42,160
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill. The Giants have been sneaky good against the

1290
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 1: run too, they have. I think I got it right

1291
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago when I when I picked

1292
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 1: the Jeremy Hill game. Um, that was against Cleveland, so

1293
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, take that for what it's worth. It was Cleveland,

1294
01:03:53,200 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: but this week. I just I'm back to not knowing

1295
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: what to do with this group. There you go, let's

1296
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:59,120
Speaker 1: do day the app to get out were quick. Sorry,

1297
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: Tyler if in this game huge ceiling, I don't like

1298
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 1: he finally before thereby got back up to like playing

1299
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: seventy or eight percent of the snaps this week. He

1300
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: should be all over the place and the Giants it

1301
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 1: hasn't borne out in the stats yet this season, but

1302
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: they still struggle in the middle of the field at

1303
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 1: times covering guys and Tyler Eiffort is just uncoverable in

1304
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: the red zone. So if they get there, I I

1305
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:23,800
Speaker 1: would not be surprised if he has two touchdowns this week.

1306
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that's what I'm hoping. I've been witting on him.

1307
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:40,160
Speaker 1: There you go, Mr day La Depps. Des As I

1308
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: watch Matt Harmon furiously scramble around and figure out what

1309
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: the hell he's gonna dap, I will go to him first.

1310
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,120
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon, what you got a tradition, unlike any other

1311
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Harmony unprepared for the one second we do every show. Sorry,

1312
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 1: I'm busy preparing great nuggets and statistics for our listeners

1313
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,920
Speaker 1: to benefit. For the reasons can you stop stalling and

1314
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: just give next gen stats and be done with it?

1315
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: Oh no, I actually want to. I wanted to tap

1316
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 1: something kind of in the political sphere, but not really

1317
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 1: bear with me here. I think when you know, it's

1318
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: been a it's been a tough week for for a

1319
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: lot of people, and and you know, for for reasons,

1320
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 1: you know this, that and the other. But one thing

1321
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: I have found pretty enjoyable is if you just go

1322
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter and search Biden and Obama, you get some

1323
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: really hand on the shoulders. There have been some very

1324
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,240
Speaker 1: funny memes of those two, uh, and that that's actually

1325
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: like something that has been a trend for a while,

1326
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,400
Speaker 1: that just a Biden being like a total jokester and

1327
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 1: just Obama just doing the side thing. I find those

1328
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: to be very funny. Biden, like, I don't know if

1329
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: any vice presidents can have ever got caught in as

1330
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: many hilarious facial expressions Biden did. Like the strangest moments

1331
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: probably him just dropping f bombs that too, It's great.

1332
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,840
Speaker 1: I like this when they said Joe's never lost an

1333
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:05,160
Speaker 1: election and he did the Catholic thing that. Yeah, so

1334
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,040
Speaker 1: those those are funny. So I'm going to give a

1335
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: daily DApp to those like because I just saw one

1336
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: of my time I to Mexico. I saw some really

1337
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,320
Speaker 1: good ones earlier this week Alex Kelhard, we go to

1338
01:06:13,320 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: you the whiz kid from Wisconsin. Daily adapts first day

1339
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:17,959
Speaker 1: of adapt and by the time many of you listen

1340
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: to this, they will probably be playing or have one

1341
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 1: or lost. But Team USA is playing a big World

1342

1346
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,400

Speaker 1: the other football, The Other football. Also Daily adapts to

1349
01:06:49,040 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: an app called pocket uh coworker and friend Jason Hershaw

1350
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: and recommen to harmon in me what it is. It's

1351
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: based only. It's an extension you add to your browser,

1352
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 1: to Twitter, to anything. Whenever you see a link that

1353
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: you want to read, you just send it to pocket

1354
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: and then what it does is you can read it

1355
01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 1: without an Internet connection. It saves just the hard file

1356
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: of it as well on your phone. So if you're

1357
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 1: on a flight you don't have WiFi, boom, you got

1358
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:14,280
Speaker 1: all the stuff you're on there. If you're on the

1359
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: can boom you can read, if you're waiting for the bus, whatever.

1360
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: All these things don't need an intercorrect internet connection, won't

1361
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: waste data, and it's super useful because I always used

1362

1374
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:57,120
Speaker 1: I do agree with that, must I mentioned a couple

1375
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:59,920

Speaker 1: cal is actually a respectable program, which they are not

1428
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: right now, including that time that Aaron Rodgers had first

1429
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 1: and goal from the tent at the College sum and

1430
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,400

1435
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:03,840
