1
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lalli.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson and uh Matt looking here.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: It's time for the Fantasy Football Focus. Our DFS lineup

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 2: as we sit here right now, is it one forty

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 2: one point four to six points that is in the money.

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: We'll see if we can hold on. We don't have

7
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: anybody left going in tonight, caimp. Usually we have at

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: least one guy.

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's always a helpless feeling, isn't Yeah.

10
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 2: You kind of just have to hold help you hope

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 2: you hold on our brock party start.

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: That worked out pretty well. Yeah, that worked out quite well.

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: He was thirty eight point four percent ownership, so he

14
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,919
Speaker 1: was kind of chalky, makes sense, Yeah, tons of that's

15
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 1: after the catch. But that's the beauty of signing on

16
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: with him.

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Zach Moss was owned as much as I expected.

18
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Eighty two point shit, that's heaviest I can remember.

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: You only had seven point seven points though, So if

20
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: we if we'd have swerved on that, but at forty

21
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: six hundred dollars, yeah, it.

22
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: Was cheap and we would have all went down together

23
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: eighty three percent of us.

24
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, we'd have to pay up or do something

25
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: somewhere else, scored a ton of points and moved the

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,039
Speaker 2: ball a lot. Yeah, he's just the way they did it.

27
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he ran that.

28
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: He had a lot of carries, I think get twenty

29
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 2: one touches or something like that in the game.

30
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: They just didn't get a bunch of yards.

31
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 2: No, Naujie Harris eleven point eight percent ownership, nine point

32
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: seven points.

33
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: That could have been so much better.

34
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know if they if the game script he

35
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 2: was running.

36
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Run well. Last couple of weeks, he looks as good

37
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: as I can remember it as a pro. Just what

38
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: if he gets in you know, from from that well too,

39
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: that would have helped.

40
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: Uh. Brandon Ayuk fifteen points, six points. Once again, everybody

41
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 2: else blows up in their office. That's not a bad game, not.

42
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: Bad dayuke, But it's hard to feed all those mouse Yeah,

43
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: Debo was a guy to own.

44
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman thirty and a half, thirty point five points,

45
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: seventeen point five percent ownership.

46
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not gonna hit you a seventy or

47
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: eighty yard touchdown, but he gets so many targets and

48
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: he's open all the time.

49
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, when you're throwing two guard passes, he's

50
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: going to be open. And he had eleven catches for

51
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 2: one hundred and five yards.

52
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: It's every week for that guy. Yeah, he's like a

53
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: really solid high end wide receiver.

54
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: Two Jaylen Waddell five catches for fifty two yards.

55
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: Not quite himself still, I mean he looks good out there.

56
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: And they're putting up tons of points too. But yeah, they're.

57
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Putting tons of points against when they play the bad teams.

58
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 2: It'd be interesting to see what they do. They still

59
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: got a game coming up with Baltimore, they got a

60
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,119
Speaker 2: game coming up in Buffalo. I'll be interested to see.

61
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: Washington's a terrible matchup off to other second, can't stop

62
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 2: anybody in the secondary.

63
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: Uh, Taysom Hill.

64
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: That worked out six point only six point one percent

65
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: ownership for Taysom.

66
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Hill, and that shocks me. He had fifteen point four points.

67
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: I know there's at all, there's some up and down

68
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 2: there with him, but there is there's volatility like that

69
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: at all.

70
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: Tight ends are hard to account on. Yeah, at least

71
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: he has more ways of getting you there.

72
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he actually threw a couple of passes in that

73
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: game that if he completes those from.

74
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: What I remember there was a goal line carry. He

75
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: was just short, and then they brought him era in two.

76
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna get his off coortunities.

77
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 2: Our Greg Dortch pick. He had two point nine points

78
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: ten percent ownership.

79
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: Wow, well a lot of people have the same roster

80
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: as us. Yeah.

81
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 2: Well there's like six of them here in this in

82
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: this contest that are the same exact lineup as us.

83
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: And then the Colts defense was great, got seventeen points

84
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: out of them seven percent, seven percent ownership.

85
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're opportunity to stick on defense. I've they've had

86
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: a pretty good year for Fantasy wise.

87
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 2: So again we're in the money as we sit here

88
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: right now. We'll see if that holds up. Again, we

89
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: don't have anybody left but the winner in our contest.

90
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: He has one hundred and eighty nine point sixty six points.

91
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 2: He had party Alvin Kamara.

92
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: How many points of Kamara end up with or.

93
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: Twenty eight point nine two point two percent ownership, But

94
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: he was eight he was eighty two hundred bucks. Zach Moss.

95
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: Surprisingly enough, Deebo Samuel, it's sixty two hundred. Yeah, that

96
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: was the guy that would have put us over the top.

97
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel twenty point five percent.

98
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: He's had a pretty good year.

99
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: He had ten and a half points Tyreek Hill, Wow,

100
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: thirty five point ty yeah. Uh. Brevin Jordan, who actually

101
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 2: had to I had to pick him up in our

102
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: league and start him, and he ended up with three

103
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: catches for sixty four every league.

104
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: I'm in a notification on Saturday or Sunday picked up

105
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: Bredvan Jordan, picked up brevn Jordan's he's not bad. Yeah,

106
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: and now with Dell out, Schultz will probably be there

107
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 1: two yeah, like or Jordan is right right.

108
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: So Brevin Jordan's ended up ownership thirty point one percent ownership. Wow,

109
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: he was on that much shockey because he was only

110
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred bucks.

111
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess that makes sense when they put out

112
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: the original lines.

113
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: Rashad White forty eight point nine percent ownership. He's somebody

114
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: we didn't really talk about. He had nineteen point six.

115
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: Points scored a short one I remember. Yeah, he always

116
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: catch the balls.

117
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: And the Patriots defense was twenty four hundred points or

118
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: twenty four hundred dollars.

119
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: They get you seven.

120
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: Points six points. Yeah, for twenty four hundred bucks. They

121
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: were one of the lowest price defense.

122
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: I don't think they had any sacks last week. Pretty

123
00:04:59,279 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 1: sure they did not.

124
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was seven points for just giving up between

125
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 2: one and six points.

126
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: Gotcha, gotcha, and they lost and they lost. Yeah, you

127
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: gotta wonder too. Like as well as that defensive playing

128
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: and as little as they're allowing it is the locker

129
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: room starting to look at each other. It's pretty ugly

130
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: up there.

131
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 2: Like Belichick's getting asked if he still wants to coach

132
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: the Patriots things.

133
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: Of that, and there's a lot that kind of stuff going. Yeah, yeah,

134
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: it's gotta be rough.

135
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: Looking at this week's top performers heading into Monday Nights game,

136
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: Gino Smith three thirty four to three touchdowns. I didn't

137
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 2: think he looked particularly great.

138
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: No, I'm still on board with him. He was twenty

139
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: three or forty one. If I were then I would

140
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: draft a quarterback pretty high, or find some young guy.

141
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 2: Brock Perty three fourteen and four touchdowns. Strong Gardner Minshew

142
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: three twelve and two touchdowns. He was twenty six of

143
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: forty two, sacked three times and fumbled.

144
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: They'll give it to you, yeah.

145
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott was two ninety nine and three touchdowns. Hurts

146
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 2: two ninety eight in a touchdown.

147
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: Rushing touchdowns too, Yeah.

148
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 2: Two had two eighty and two touchdowns, Matthew Stafford two

149
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: seventy nine and three touchdowns. So I brought this up

150
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: yesterday with Tim Benz on the UH when we were

151
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 2: doing the pregame show, and I said, I don't I've

152
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 2: never looked at this stat and never tracked it or anything.

153
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: I can easily do it on here. The week by

154
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: week thing. When you look at the guys who throw

155
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: for three hundred yards.

156
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll bet forty to fifty percent of them lost.

157
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: Oh, I bet you're right. I bet you if done higher. Yeah,

158
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's and I'm trying to think of the

159
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: names you just mentioned. Seemed like a pretty high winning perce.

160
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: They were only three that had three hundred yards passing

161
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: this week. Now this week is different. Two of the three.

162
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: One.

163
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 2: But most of the time if you throw for three

164
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: hundred yards is because you had to throw.

165
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: For three hundred yards, it's against pre events late in

166
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: the game. And yeah, and because it's there's just not

167
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: many long ones anymore in the league. It's not like

168
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: boy hits two seven yarders to get them month and

169
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: it's tough to how it gets gets there, right, and

170
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: plus quarterback plays down right now.

171
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: Stafford had two seventy nine and three touchdowns against that

172
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 2: Cleveland defense.

173
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: Played really well, as has him in this thing.

174
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 2: Stroud was eighth with two seventy four in a touchdown.

175
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: Wasn't his best game, but he lost Tank Dell and

176
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: Nico went crazy. Yeah, Nico went nuts. Yeah.

177
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: Jordan Love had two sixty seven and three touchdowns.

178
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: He's really coming around. I like how he's playing.

179
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: Remember, folks, that that Packers victory over the Steelers victory

180
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: over the Packers, that's the.

181
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: Last time they lost, un the last time he lost.

182
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: That's better and better every week, yep, one hundred percent.

183
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: And their young passing game is starting to really shape

184
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: up the Jalen Reeds of the world. And Watson he

185
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: got hurt again, of course, but no loves playing well

186
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: and Steels told him in check.

187
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: Flacco threw for two fifty four, two touchdowns, one interception.

188
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 2: It's forty four passing attempts to get there though. Yeah,

189
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: that's a Joe Flacco.

190
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: Kind of day. Know what you want, yeah, not what

191
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: you want?

192
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: Three twenty three completions for two hundred and fifty four yards.

193
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: Like it's a good example of a lot of pass

194
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: attempts not resulting in wins. Yeah. Uh.

195
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 2: Derek Carr to twenty six and a touchdown that sets

196
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: outside looking at the uh at the low end of this, well,

197
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: Mike White had a pass yeah yeah, Marcus Mariota played

198
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: a little clean up there for he came.

199
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: Hurts was out for a little bit. Yeah.

200
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: Uh. Jamis Winston was two of five for forty one yards.

201
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: Just I don't know that these guys are are able.

202
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: You're able to pick them up? No, what about picking

203
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 2: up Trubisky in a two quarterback.

204
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean he's he's probably talk

205
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: twenty four guy. Yeah. Do you expect them to run much?

206
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: I think he'll run a little bit, he a little bit,

207
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 2: he'll do some of that.

208
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: I don't feel the design runs for him, but I

209
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: think he'll scramble.

210
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

211
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: Desmond Ridder twelve, I would be psyched by starting this week.

212
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: No, but I mean the points you are gonna be

213
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 2: a premium. Ridder had a tough day. Yeah, twelve to

214
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: twenty seven, one hundred and twenty one yards in a

215
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 2: touchdown like yuck.

216
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: They won but tough today.

217
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: Sam Howe, has the gloss come off of that one yet?

218
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think so. He was That whole team is

219
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: really falling apart.

220
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 2: Twelve of twenty three for one hundred and twenty seven yards,

221
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: no touchdowns, one interception, three more.

222
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: Sacks, two many negatives. He's said that his whole career.

223
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: When power ranks come out and we'd talk about them,

224
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 1: Washington might be a bottom tier one now. I mean

225
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: like they're they have a hard time beating the Patriots, Carolina,

226
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: the Giants, those type of teams right now.

227
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bailey ZAPPI who the Steelers should see this week?

228
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: I think so on a short week like this, I don't.

229
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 2: I don't think they go back to mac Jones at all.

230
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 2: And I can't imagine if they would put Milie Cunningham

231
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: in there.

232
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: No, I think it's gonna be zappy.

233
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: He was thirteen of twenty five for one hundred and

234
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 2: forty one yards, no touchdowns, no surprise there, no interceptions.

235
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: Five sacks. Yeah.

236
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: Wow, So they ended up throw because of the sacks

237
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: they're past end up thrown for like one hundred yards.

238
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 2: Remember this was against the Chargers defense, who was the

239
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 2: second worst defense outside of Washington in terms of stopping

240
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 2: like I think they were actually last though.

241
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're at the bottom league. One thing they

242
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: do is rush pass for pretty well. Khalil Mack had

243
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: a good two more sacks he had again. Yeah, and

244
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: they couldn't.

245
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: Stop one guy, no one pass rusher though, What's what's

246
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 2: it going to be like this week with two or

247
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 2: three or four.

248
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 1: And the receivers don't get any separation. Yeah. I don't

249
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 1: think Zappi is a particularly good player.

250
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray threw for one hundred and forty five yards

251
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: in that game against the Steelers thirteen to twenty three. Yeah,

252
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 2: it's not like they tore them up through the air.

253
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 2: It was all that one drive.

254
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 1: That was all at one drive. However, Rondell Moore should

255
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: have caught a touchdown. I mean that wouldn't have been

256
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He was going to be short of the

257
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: end zone. Well, yeah, I try to think about it.

258
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: I can't remember.

259
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 2: He would have caught. He had left his feet. It

260
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 2: was about the fifteen or so, right around the ten.

261
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 2: It would have been a tough catch.

262
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: I'm go go back and watching. I don't watch the

263
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: game a second time. I don't think it would have

264
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: been a score.

265
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: Bryce Young won seventy eight, and I mean it's just

266
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 2: the same every time Baker Mayfield has kind of come

267
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: back to earth a little bit.

268
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: Here it was for Mike Evans that team of the problems.

269
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Yes he's on fire. Yeah.

270
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: Look at the rushing leaders. Only four players over one

271
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 2: hundred yards rushing. Surprisingly, three of them lost.

272
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: Which which isn't usually the way it goes.

273
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 2: See at Isaiah Pacheco eighteen for one, ten in the touchdown.

274
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: I be hesitn't to give him credit, but man, he

275
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: plays hard and they're running game is pretty good. Yeah.

276
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: James Connor ended up with twenty five for one oh

277
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 2: five again, ten for seventeen. At the half, he was

278
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 2: still like going into that last drive that they had,

279
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: he had like fifty two yards.

280
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: I thought he played really well. I thought, yes, he

281
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: was running hard, the Steelers are stopping it.

282
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: And then I looked at the halftime stats, I'm like,

283
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 2: he only has seventeen yards, so I thought he'd that

284
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: kind was shocked batter.

285
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: So much of it was like he's breaking tackles in

286
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: the backfield exactly fight and get back to the line. Scrimmage.

287
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff wasn't his fault.

288
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 2: Cuba Hubbard twenty five for one oh four and two touchdowns.

289
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: Really I remember the two touchdowns may be against Tampa Bay. Yeah,

290
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: who has a pretty good run deef. They are, they're

291
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 1: kind of a pass funnel. Interesting. Hopefully it's his job

292
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: now just for fantasy. I mean, you get.

293
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: Twenty five Carr, He's like, yeah, it's your job, it

294
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: is yeah. And then Derreck Henry twenty one for one

295
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: oh two and two touchdowns.

296
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: He left the game.

297
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: If he finishes that game, they probably win.

298
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: They probably win. They probably win. He was a handful.

299
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: McCaffrey just missed. Seventeen for ninety three in a touchdown.

300
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 2: Karen Williams twenty one for eighty eight in a touchdown

301
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 2: against that Cleveland defense.

302
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: He's real.

303
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: Rashad White twenty for eighty four in a touchdown that came.

304
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: We should have seen that coming against Carolina's defense.

305
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: Y plus catches. Yeah, ty J.

306
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 2: Spears sixteen for seventy five.

307
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: I think he's the starter of Henry's out.

308
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 2: It's interesting that they did that against that Colts defense.

309
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 2: So the two running backs combined for one hundred and

310
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 2: seventy plus rushing yards themselves.

311
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think keept that in my next win they

312
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: have the Steeler tandem, I'm sure. Yeah, hard time dealing

313
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: with Henry's power and nause you would present problems.

314
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Spears and Warren are not exactly similar, but

315
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 2: there's that same contrast.

316
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,719
Speaker 1: Keep him both rotating. Yeah, I would have liked to

317
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: see more Warren Yesterday.

318
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: Devin a Chan seventeen for seventy three and two touchdowns

319
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: that mostly came in the second half.

320
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: I say a little bit that was garbage time. I

321
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: think it was just to get him acclimated speeding game. Yeah, yah, yeah,

322
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: so but that's promising. I think he's a starter going forward.

323
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 2: Aj Dillon eighteen for seventy three.

324
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: I thought he ran pretty well. It's fine. Yeah, I

325
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: didn't like him at the beginning of the season. He

326
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 1: looks better now.

327
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard twenty for sixty eight and a touchdown nause

328
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: he had sixteen for sixty three. Would have loved they've

329
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: gotten him more than sixteen.

330
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

331
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: Gibbs had eight for sixty with Detroit.

332
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: He broke a long one.

333
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: He had a thirty six. Yoder sharpen a nineteen for

334
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: sixty and a touchdown. He just doesn't look he's okay,

335
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: like anything special to me.

336
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: No, I don't think he's special at all. I think

337
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: he's a volume guy that probably won't get volume when

338
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: Walker's there of course catches the ball. Well, he looks

339
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,679
Speaker 1: like a third round pick in the NFL and they

340
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: took him a second and he's okay. She reminds me

341
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: of Connor a little bit.

342
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jaylen Warren at nine for fifty nine. Our guy

343
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: Taysom Hill thirteen for fifty.

344
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: Nine, carrying the ball.

345
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: Thirteen carries as a tight end. Yeah, well, well that's

346
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 2: what he's listed as, so he takes snaps from under center.

347
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, for fantasy reasons, it's great and a touchdown.

348
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 2: They can't be at all happy with carr now investment

349
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 2: of car.

350
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: No, they're a very old team.

351
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, I'm not really seeing anybody else jump

352
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: out here. We mentioned the Zach Moss line nineteen for

353
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: fifty one.

354
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: His long gain was five yards.

355
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, five, But you'd fire him back up next week, right, Yeah,

356
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 2: I mean the volume allume the important. If he gets

357
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: nineteen carries again, he should be fine at five yards.

358
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: Five yards? Was your long long. Yeah, Austin Echoes long

359
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: was four, same thing.

360
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 2: Kream Hunts long run was seven like he had ended

361
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: up with.

362
00:14:56,280 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: Uh. He had more carries yesterday than uh. He was

363
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: their leading ball carro I believe, Yeah, was it? Yeah,

364
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm look into it. I don't understand. I don't I

365
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: don't get it. I don't either less forward or got

366
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: thinged up or something. I don't know.

367
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean all the other thing I wanted to

368
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 2: talk about here. So you had Damian Pierce yesterday at fifteen.

369
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: That's forty one two point seven yards per carrying and

370
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 2: he had a twenty two yarder in there.

371
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, any touchdown. A couple of those were the battest

372
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: goal line one yard run problems. Yeah, but no, he

373
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: took over the backfield and Singletary at eight for thirty six,

374
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: he was the more effective back. He was more effective back,

375
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: and they liked him better before that. That's a good question.

376
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: But they're leaning towards Pierce now, so you still get

377
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: it if you're a Singletary owner, you hated that.

378
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: One other thing to note here, taekwon Thornton one carry

379
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: for thirty nine yards for the Patriots yesterday, So they

380
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: will do some end to round stuff and they look Yeah,

381
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 2: anything to try to move the football.

382
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

383
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,000

393
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: he looks great too. They were featured him a lot

394
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: in that game.

395
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: Dk Met he might be like tight end three four.

396
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: I might take him over Kelsey. I'm I'm not sure

397
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: who I traded.

398
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: Depending on where Kelsey's I mean, I don't.

426
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: He's a little bit dangerous because he gets a lot

427
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: of single coverage with downs and Pittman getting do all

428
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:42,199

Speaker 2: eighty three, and then Cooper's out.

434
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,320

435
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues.

436

437
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,040

439
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: and McBride are the three tight ends over averaging over

440
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,239
Speaker 1: two yards per route run. Wow. Yeah, they're all right

441
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 1: at the same level this next year. I can't be

442
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: too far behind.

443
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,920
Speaker 2: Jake Ferguson six for seventy seven in the score.

444
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: He's been pretty good this year. Oh yeah, Like if

445
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: we were drafting the tight ends right now, would he

446
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: be six seven something like that off the board. Yeah, Yeah,

447
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 1: he's been. He's been valuable and quite good.

448
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 2: Xavier Gibson with the Jets had five for seventy seven.

449
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: Is that somebody? Yeah?

450
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: Five for seventy seven. They need pass catchers obviously. Yeah,

451
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: somebody's gonna catch him.

452
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 1: Simeon got in that game too.

453
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: Courtland Sutton had two for seventy seven and a touchdown.

454
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: He was super quiet and then they had him with

455
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: a big one. But these their number.

456
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 2: One DeAndre Hopkins had five for seventy five in a touchdown.

457
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 2: Romeo Dobbs four for seventy two.

458
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: He's made a big playdowns field. Yeah, people saw that.

459
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: I still think Watson's the one, the two, but all

460
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: those guys are useful.

461
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 2: Kylon Granson with the Colts had three for seventy two. Uh,

462
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: he's a tight end. He's a blocking tight end.

463
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: He's a little lighter than you think, but he's kind

464
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: of he was looked at coming out as kind of

465
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: like a full back. Yes, yes, yes, and a more

466
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: use check than yeah.

467
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so think Connor Hayward a little bit there.

468
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, bigger, a little bit bigger. The line up in the

469
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: backfield motion them a lot. Yes.

470
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: Christian Watson had seven for seventy one and two touchdowns.

471
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: Beautiful catch too, but he got hurt on an ender

472
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: or there's a ball carry. Here's went down gre zam string.

473
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: It's been a problem all year for him, but he's

474
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: coming around strong.

475
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 2: Jonathan Mingo had six for sixty nine. Right, they're gonna

476
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 2: they're gonna feature him, They're gonna have right, Yeah, I

477
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 2: mean they drafted him this year. They want to see

478
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: what he's gotten, and well, six for sixty nine a.

479
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: Lot opportunity there, you could take that.

480
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 2: Kiddle had four for sixty eight, Curtis Samuel four for

481
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 2: sixty five, Rashi Rice eight for sixty four. Are you

482
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 2: feeling like Rashie Rice is kind of the.

483
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: He's the receiver.

484
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 2: They try to figure out ways to get the ball

485
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: into his hands. There's a lot of crossing routes.

486
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: And I think he's a starter for fantasy. The other

487
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: guys make you crazy.

488
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you can feel good about starting. He

489
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: might be, I don't want to say more. He benefits

490
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 2: from having Kittle there because he gets so much attention.

491
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, they all do. But they all do right.

492
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: None of the other ones take advantage of him.

493
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 2: No, they all run go routes and run the wrong

494
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: routes and make Mahomes crazy.

495
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: Yeah.

496
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: Uh. Devonte Parker, who he talked about, four for sixty four.

497
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 2: They only had one hundred and forty passing yards period,

498
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 2: so he had a good chunk of it.

499
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean he played a time. Yeah, him and Juju

500
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: are out there a lot.

501
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 2: And then Brevin Jordan we talked about three for sixty four.

502
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,360
Speaker 1: If Schultz is out again, I would keep an eye

503
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: on Jordan. Yeah, he's a receiving tight end. That's what

504
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 1: he is. That's what he's there to do. So yeah,

505
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: a good passing game, a couple of new names on there,

506
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 1: and yeah, a couple of keep an eye on with

507
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: Tank Dell now out there, they're over Brown. Yeah yeah,

508
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean he's probably not on waiver wires anymore. He's

509
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: had a couple of big games, but then he was

510
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: hurt and he's not a big name dude. But is

511
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: he a receiver three with side? Yeah? Maybe maybe? I

512
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: mean I want to be part of that passing game.

513
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're going to throw the football, so why not.

514
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: That's one to keep an eye on. So, no Brown,

515
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: they don't have a retle difficult schedule from what I

516
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 2: remember going through with it. No, Yeah, so that's one

517
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: to keep an eye on. He is Matt Williamson. I

535
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: Matt oh we do already man springing on Franco Harris

536
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 2: or Jerome bettis most one hundred yard rushing games as

537
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: a Steeler?

538
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: Who I'm going with? Franco more games in the bettas era.

539
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: Just think of him, Harris played more years as a

540
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: Steeler though, didn't he? No, No, I thought he had

541
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: like two more years on him. I would have guessed,

542
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: Drome is here for nine plus, wasn't for the decade? Yeah? Wow,

543
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: ten years?

544
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 2: I think on so there you have it, I would say,

545
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: him with a ram and then here running couldn't last

546
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: that long?

547
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: Franco was you know? That was my logic on that one.

548
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: I bet they're close. Though I knew that one before

549
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: I asked him. I'm sure he did.

550
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it would be a team record.

551
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: So how about this little nugget? My fifteen year old daughter, which,

552
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: believe it or not, really doesn't know what a first

553
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: down is and found out in gym class like a

554
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: month ago in high school that NFL defensive linemen don't

555
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: have to put their hands up and count to one

556
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: one thousand and two one thousand. Like that's how little

557
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: she knows about the game. She went to her first

558
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: ever Steeler game yesterday and thinks, that's like the norm,

559
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: like they're all Steeter games like this town. Like No,

560
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: it's like fans weren't very happy with the team, and

561
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: a lot of people told me that they thought that

562
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: he should have won this game, and the team they

563
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: played weren't very good, and then they stopped the game

564
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: for a long stretch and rained a lot. I'm like,

565
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 1: that's not a normal game. So that's that's how much

566
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: my daughter and I do this for a living knows

567
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: about the team in this sport at the moment. How

568
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: much he cares about what dad does, see right, not

569
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: even a little.

570
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 2: All right, So looking here at the FTN fantasy the

571
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: DVOA playoff situation, Now that was a tough That was

572
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: a bad loss for the Steelers yesterday, and of course,

573
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 2: yeah what it did for that for them, it now

574
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: drops them down their mean wins drops They were over

575
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 2: ten last week.

576
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: Remember, Yeah, now they're at nine point six. That's a

577
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: big jump. But they go back like a half a

578
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: win something like that. Yeah yeah, run that game.

579
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Their playoff chances dropped down to fifty nine

580
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 2: point nine percent.

581
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: It could have been a lot uglier. I mean, Browns

582
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: would have won something like that, and it could have

583
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: gone a couple of things. So he got works for you.

584
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 2: Cleveland is now ahead of them at sixty one point

585
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 2: eight percent. See, even even though they're both still at

586
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: nine point six mean wins.

587
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's strength of schedule.

588
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: Because if you look at their overall DAVE, which is

589
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: their defensive adjusted value efficientation factors in who they play

590
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 2: and all that stuff, the Steelers are at twelve point

591
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 2: three percent, which you want to be in the positive

592
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 2: for this.

593
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: The Browns are minus two. Really, so that's who they've played?

594
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: You mean, yeah, okay, huh, I don't know why that

595
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 2: the Browns are the Steelers or vice versa for that matter.

596
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 2: Indianapolis right now? Is it minus point six and see

597
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 2: them lose? Yeah, they're now at sixty four point nine

598
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: percent chance to make the playoffs.

599
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,399
Speaker 1: Wow, that's a successful, very ahead of the Steelers. Like,

600
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: would you consider him for Coach of the Year. I mean,

601
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: we got to see where it finishes at. Well, I know,

602
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: but like right now, I mean, I think there's a

603
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,919
Speaker 1: couple of teams like the Packers rams Colts that are

604
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: reviving their season and you know, overcoming some odds to

605
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 1: get in the playoff hunt.

606
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, their mean wins is now nine point eight, So

607
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 2: that game next week is going to.

608
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: Be huge, huge, huge, that's huge.

609
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 2: Houston is now at seventy four point five percent.

610
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: They're at seven and makes sense. That's a huge win

611
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah. And oh but you know their scheduled,

612
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: the schedule, Yeah, easier.

613
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 2: Uh. Looking at the AFC Buffalo. So Miami is at

614
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: ninety nine point two percent chance to make.

615
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: The playoffs, they're they're locked it up. Yes, nine to three,

616
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: good week for Miami. In Baltimore, Baltimore.

617
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 2: Is at ninety nine point four percent.

618
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: Adds up. Yeah, I think the Steelers hopes of the

619
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: division title or shot.

620
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 2: Jacksonville that was that was a painful losses it was.

621
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 2: They still have a shot if they can win this

622
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 2: one this week against the Patriots, if they then beat Seattle.

623
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: That doesn't look nearly as challenging anything.

624
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 2: I'm sorry if they if they beat the Colts and

625
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: then beat the Bengals, three AFC wins three, there's three wins.

626
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 1: I mean, that's Baltimore still has to play. Oh, they

627
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: have some tough games.

628
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: They got to play Miami they have, and they have

629
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 2: to play Jacksonville.

630
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: They could be dogs in those games if they're on

631
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: the road. I don't know where they're at.

632
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know the Miami game is in.

633
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville is down there. Okay, So those three

634
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:57,239
Speaker 1: teams are pretty equal right now.

635
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's some there's some games that they could lose here,

636
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 2: so it could go down to that last game of

637
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 2: the season being for the AFC North Championship, if they

638
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 2: would happen to lose a couple when you win.

639
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 1: But that I needed to win that one yesterday to

640
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 1: really make them, really put the pressure on them. Right now,

641
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: they got to sit home and improve their position. Yeah,

642
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 1: now you can't afford to trip up again. No, but

643
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: we did mention off hand going to Seattle doesn't look

644
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: as awful as I thought before either. Yeah, they're okay,

645
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: but they're struggling Jacksonville.

646
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: This is before tonight's game. I'm sure if they win

647
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 2: this when it goes way up, not that it can

648
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,959
Speaker 2: go up much farther. If they win tonight, they're well

649
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 2: they're at ninety eight percent.

650
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: Now, wow, so they're pretty close to locking up their

651
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: division two.

652
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then Kansas City, despite losing, is still at

653
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:45,879
Speaker 2: ninety eight point seven percent.

654
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: Who's going to catch them? Denver lost, I mean, the

655
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: division's theirs now. Their problem though? Is the one.

656
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 2: Seeds really interesting in the af seed Yeah, I mean

657
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: it's a real three way battle, four way battle. All

658
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: four of those teams are very much in the hunt

659
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 2: for the number one seed.

660
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

661
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, so these these games down the stretch are going

662
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 2: to be highly meaningful, which.

663
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: Makes you think chances are none of those teams are

664
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: resting somebody in Week eighteen. Yeah, you know like Raven

665
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: Steele ravens Uh.

666
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: Buffalo is at twelve point eight percent to make the playoffs.

667
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: I mean they're they're had to go up a little.

668
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: They're still at eight point six mean wins. Couldn't it

669
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: didn't go up. That's the problems. That's their problem is schedule.

670
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: Uh. Cleveland is at sixty one point eight percent. Again,

671
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: nine point six wins for this they could lose to anybody.

672
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: Say, I think Houston, Indy have a better chance than Cleveland.

673
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't think Miles Garrett played yesterday. I need double check.

674
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: You said he had no stats, had no stats, no studs,

675
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 1: and he was injured going in. Maybe he played a

676
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: little and gave it try and then pulled him out.

677
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

678
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they I mean again, their their home road splits.

679
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: Are real defenses. Without them obviously is not the same.

680
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, they I know they didn't have Denzel Award yesterday,

681
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: but they still give up thirty plus points to the Rams.

682
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, they're in a bad spot.

683
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: That was a Rams team. The Steelers gave up seventeen

684
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: against by the way, same.

685
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: Group, same group, healthy, Stafford, Cup, all those guys.

686
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kyon Williams. I know they didn't have Kion Williams

687
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 2: that game. But either way, so they're sixty one point

688
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: eight percent, the Steelers at fifty nine point nine. Is

689
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: it an either or situation for those two AFC nors teams.

690
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: No, the Colts could fall on their face. I don't

691
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: think Houston will.

692
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: The Colts right now are at sixty four point nine percent.

693
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: They're ahead of both of them, are we right now?

694
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 2: The situation is Jacksonville, Houston, and Indianapolis all have better

695
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 2: jackson anybody else in the in the AFC in terms

696
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: of those top.

697
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: Oh okay, huh, well, I mean Jacksonville's getting in. They're

698
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: gonna win their division. What what the DVOA is saying there?

699
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: You're playing well? Yeah? What? At least they're coming off

700
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: of wins. Steelers and Browns are coming off of loss.

701
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 2: I think are the Colts really playing well? The they

702
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: just I mean they had to go to overtime to

703
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:02,560
Speaker 2: beat the Titans.

704
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: Well might be strong over expectation, which doesn't matter for

705
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: this argument. Yeah, nobody cares what they've thought about.

706
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 2: What you have to remember is Cleveland's ahead to head

707
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 2: win already over Indianapolis. If the Steelers get one as well, but.

708
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: Then they could be cooked. Yeah, they could be cooked.

709
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: So I remember their schedule being pretty favorable. We went

710
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: through it, yeah, or so ago. But they're seven and

711
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: five now, so there's sixty picks against anybody though. Yeah,

712
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Taylor's out. I mean like they're a little

713
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: volatile a little bit.

714
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, didn't that happen a couple of years ago?

715
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: Or mentioned? Yeah? Was that situation?

716
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: Was Minshew the starter in the game where all Jacksonville

717
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 2: had to do or all the Colts had to do.

718
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: Was go down there and beat a terrible Jags, But

719
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: Minshew won the game? Did Minshew win that game? Sounds familiar?

720
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: I believe he didn't, like, Yeah, that was I think

721
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: they were like set up the first overall.

722
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 2: You know, that's just the cults in the nutshell, Like

723
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 2: I don't trust them.

724
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: No, I don't trust them either. Yeah, No, I think

725
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: they're a good story. They're fine to watch in the West.

726
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: Denver's at thirteen point eight percent, the Chargers are eleven

727
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 2: point three percent.

728
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: Those teams are out of it. I think the West

729
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: has been won. I think I think the West Denver's loss,

730
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: I think kills them.

731
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 2: I think that your your wild card situation comes down

732
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: to Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Houston, Indianapolis.

733
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put the Bills in there, but I know

734
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: it's a long shot.

735
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 2: They got a twelve point eight percent chance according to

736
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: d V.

737
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: I get the Bills a better chance than Denver. I

738
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: just think they're good. I don't know Denver's good. That's

739
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: all well and good.

740
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 2: But we had this discussion last week in your power rankings.

741
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 2: Their mean wins right now is going to be eight

742
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 2: point six.

743
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they could go I will find out coming

744
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: out of a bye they could go to Kansas City

745
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: and win.

746
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,719
Speaker 2: I will bet you one hundred dollars right now. That

747
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: doesn't happen because they stink on the road. They one

748
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: five on the road, though, I'll bet you's Kansas City

749
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: by five.

750
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: I'll say five and a half. Yeah.

751
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just have not played well on the roads

752
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: or whatever it is. I don't know why I can't

753
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 2: put it. I think they're a good football team too.

754
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 2: But whatever it is this season, whether it's the losses

755
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: that they've had on defense, they've not been a good

756
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: football team this year.

757
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 1: No, no, won't fight you on that. But I mean

758
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: they've been great at home. But you were saying Brown Steelers, Colts, Houston,

759
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: they're fighting for three spots. Yeah, I'm going to put

760
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: the Bills in there and say five. Dvoa disagrees. I know,

761
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: I know it's an uphill climb. I mean, they have

762
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: absolutely dug themselves a grave and they have half their

763
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: body in it. Yeah, and I just don't.

764
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 2: What they still have left is not pretty awful.

765
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: It's awful. I mean, Denver to me, just fell right

766
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: in their grave. Yeah.

767
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: I mean they done much like much like the Bills

768
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: that they dug themselves a whole early. You can't get

769
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,959
Speaker 2: out of them, much like the Steelers did last year,

770
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 2: where you're.

771
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: Chasing the entire time.

772
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 2: That's the one thing that you can't. The Steelers had

773
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:54,040
Speaker 2: an opportunity yesterday to stay a game up on everybody else.

774
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 2: Now they've drugged themselves back down to the pen to.

775
00:32:57,080 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: Be sitting there alone instead of fighting with those teams

776
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: on all of them right back to the Bills. I'm

777
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: not predicting to go in the four teams we talked about.

778
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: I mean, logically, I think three of those will be

779
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: the wild card team. Yes, I just think that their

780
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: grave is still open in Buffalo because they've Josh Allen.

781
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 1: That's all well and good, but they've dug it though.

782
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: It's you know, Josh Ellen or Patrick Mahomes this week.

783
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna side with Patrick Mahomes real quick at losing

784
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 2: two games in a row.

785
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: The four that are most realistically fighting for three, I

786
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,960
Speaker 1: think Houston's the best team of those. I think the

787
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: Browns are probably the worst team of those. Just how

788
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: good is the football team? That thing doesn't help. I'm

789
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,959
Speaker 1: not going to fight you on that one. You know,

790
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: They've they've been good show.

791
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: I just just I think they're you know, with young

792
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 2: teams with young leadership.

793
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: Rookie quarterback, rookie head coach. Yeah, they don't usually go

794
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: to playoffs. Yeah, they're a perfect team to go to

795
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: the playoffs one and done.

796
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 2: They do things like all of a sudden, Pollard is

797
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: the running back again.

798
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: When they're not Pollard.

799
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: Oh the Singletary Yeah, Pierce move yeah, yea Bernard Pierce, Yeah,

800
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 2: Bernard Pollard. That's a different guy. But I mean, why

801
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 2: the other guy's been running? Well, why would you why

802
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 2: would you change.

803
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: That up all of a sudden. I've always liked Pierce,

804
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: I've never liked Singletary, but that seemed like a logical

805
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: move because Singletary has been really good and Pierces have

806
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: been really bad. Yeah. Yeah, but the defense stepped up

807
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's like where the direction of the

808
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: team's going. Yeah, so we'll see.

809
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 2: I mean, I I still think the Steelers have a

810
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 2: very good shot to get Obviously it's sixty percent here,

811
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 2: but again, if they haven a won yesterday, o. Man,

812
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 2: they're at eight and three right now, they're probably at

813
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: eighty percent chance to get in.

814
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: Even if it was the ugliest win of all time.

815
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: Just win the games. You're basically in the playoffs. Yeah, game,

816
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: and now you got to battle again, you.

817
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 2: Know, but hey, they have gained your opponents yesterday, so

818
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 2: that's that's all that really matters.

819
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Well, you can get that taste

820
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: out of our mouth pretty quick, though, you know, if

821
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: you can handle the Patriots. Anyway you get a win

822
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: against them, is fine. It'd be nice if you can

823
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: control the game, beat an inferior team as you should

824
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: have this past week, not kill yourself. You're back in

825
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: the hunt. See what Trubisky can bring you. But one

826
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: of the things that kind of doesn't sit well with me,

827
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 1: or this is flat out and unfortunate, is this was

828
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 1: a crucial stretch of evaluating picket without the Canada. Excuse

829
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, give me six seven games to finish the year.

830
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 1: What is this quarterback? And see the guy? Is he

831
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,759
Speaker 1: not do we need competition? Is he running away with

832
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: a job? Is it a totally different look? And now

833
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: you're not going to see that. Yeah, it's a brutal.

834
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: It was a very valuable evaluation period that you're getting

835
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: robbed of. Ill.

836
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: So the Steelers this season, lose to San Francisco, win

837
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 2: the next two. Mm hmm, lose to Houston, win the

838
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: next two, lose to Jacksonville, win the next two. Now

839
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: this this time around, they lost to Cleveland, the only one.

840
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 2: They only beat Cincinnati. Uh it lose to Arizona here,

841
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 2: need to win the next two to win the next three. Actually,

842
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 2: because you you you got out of your pace there.

843
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: Okay to keep the two for one going. Yeah, right, Oh,

844
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: you'll take that all year sixty, you take it's I mean,

845
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: that's the thing. I'd be real happy to win the

846
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: next two. Yeah.

847
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 2: I think people lose sight of a little bit in

848
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: the NFL. You're not gonna win every week.

849
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: No, you're not gonna win every week. It's just too difficult.

850
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: If you can break them down the blocks and you're

851
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: winning two out of four, three out of four, two

852
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: out of three, likely you were saying there, Okay, you're

853
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: gonna stumble. Yeah, but they have.

854
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 2: They have not lost two in a row all season long.

855
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: I don't see them starting and I don't either.

856
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: But I hope the game isn't a race to seven

857
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 1: and you get a goofy bounce or something. I hope

858
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: not too because I can sit and watch it and

859
00:36:59,320 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 1: then be up laid.

860
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is one of these Thursday night games. I

861
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 2: can get up and I don't want to watch this anymore. No,

862
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,959
Speaker 2: have it on in the background while I'm doing something else.

863
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: This is I'm gonna be locked in.

864
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: Serious. How much the nation's into this one? Yeah? Two big,

865
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:14,560
Speaker 1: two big, big franchises though.

866
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you see the crowd by the way at

867
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 2: the Patriots game on Sunday came?

868
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: It was not it was not well attended, weather, it

869
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: wasn't great. Vibes aren't great, record isn't great. Offense is

870
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 1: hard to watch. I could see that.

871
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure, and he was gonna get to

872
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 2: another break. He is the Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lollie.

873
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 2: You're listening to the drive. You're on Steelers Nation Radio.

874
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 2: We'll be back to finish up the show right after this.

875
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lollie.

876
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,280
Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson and Matt over the weekend

877
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 2: Sunday actually where we're doing the pregame show, college football.

878
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 1: Releases its top four. It's playoff field.

879
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 2: It's one of the great things about the NFL as

880
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 2: opposed to college football, one of the many imagin So

881
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 2: they take a an unbeaten Florida State team when's it,

882
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 2: when's this conference championship and doesn't get in unbeaten, and

883
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 2: you take two one lost teams into the thing. My

884
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: hope is here. This is my hope of hopes, because

885
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 2: now you've got Florida State playing Georgia and whatever.

886
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: It's called something something.

887
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: I hope that Florida State beats Georgia and that the

888
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 2: two teams that are unbeaten that made the playoffs, which

889
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: will be Michigan and Washington, I hope they.

890
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: Both lose, just to say for chaos, this will be

891
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: the greatest chaos ever. And this goes back to kind

892
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 1: of what we were just talking about with Buffalo, right right,

893
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 1: Like Georgia might be the best team in the country.

894
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: They might be. I mean they lost, yeah, right, I

895
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: mean they lost to Alabama and Nick Saban in the

896
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: first loss in two years to what is now a

897
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 1: playoff team. And sorry, you guys aren't in it. Yeah,

898
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: but Texas is and Bama is Florida State.

899
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 2: You don't have your starting quarterback, you're down your third

900
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: string quarterback. Maybe you'll get one of those guys back,

901
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 2: Maybe your third string quarterback will be better with another

902
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 2: month of practice, but we're not going to give you

903
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:24,799
Speaker 2: that chance because.

904
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: And Bama's i mean convoluting things. Bama's only loss is

905
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: to Texas. Yeah, you know who just blows somebody out

906
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: in the Big twelve championship. Washington and Michigan, are they

907
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: any different in Florida State. I mean they undefeated, beat

908
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: when they're conference championship. Oh the quarterback didn't get hurt.

909
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I mean, you have to you need

910
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: style points in that. I'm not complaining because those are

911
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: the four I would have taken. I think they're the

912
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: best four teams. I think for the makes of the

913
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: best viewing. But how do you tell a team that's undefeated,

914
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: including you did everything perfectly, that's a big time program.

915
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: This isn't Owland Green went undefeated or like Cincinnati in

916
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: the Ritter days. You know, you know, this wasn't James Madison, right,

917
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 1: you know exactly I mean. And now I'm sitting there thinking,

918
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: we'll just make it any better. But what if we

919
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 1: could make what if this year was an eight team

920
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: playoff with Georgia, Florida State, and Ohio State in it,

921
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: Like that's eight great teams and really battle it out.

922
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: But you know, it's such an imperfect world in the

923
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: NCAA too, just.

924
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I was thinking about it as we would

925
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 2: be having this argument right now. Well, Buffalo is much

926
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: better team than these other teams. They should be in

927
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 2: the playoffs, because no, in the NFL, you got to

928
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 2: win enough games to get in and their.

929
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: Tie breaker know what they are, and you know what

930
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:44,840
Speaker 1: they are. You know, across the board, there's no opinion whatsoever, none.

931
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: I think this is a better team. Doesn't matter.

932
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 2: There have been years where the Steelers were the seventh

933
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 2: team when they were only eight or six, and boy,

934
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:55,479
Speaker 2: if they would have gotten in, they'd have made some noise.

935
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: But they didn't. Not the way it works. Not the

936
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,880
Speaker 1: way it works now. Some of the college stuff makes

937
00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: me crazy, and I don't have enough time to pay

938
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: enough attention to watch them all throughout the year and

939
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: all those things. But kind of New Bama's gonna go.

940
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, people are like, well, they barely beat Auburn.

941
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't think losing the Iron Bowl or

942
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: winning the Iron Bowls gonna be held against them. Yeah,

943
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 1: on the final play of the game, final play of

944
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 1: the game, they have won loss and it's against the

945
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: playoff team and they're all a freaking Bama. I mean,

946
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna get They're not not gonna have an SEC

947
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 1: team in this year. No, my buddies and I thought

948
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 1: about this forever, you know before. I'm like, I guarantee

949
00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 1: an SEC team goes I promise you there's no chance

950
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: they don't.

951
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know you hear it every year with

952
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: this team or that team, and you know, well, they

953
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: don't deserve to be there. That's the great thing about

954
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 2: the NFL. You deserve you if you're in the playoffs,

955
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: you deserve to be there.

956
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,839
Speaker 1: Yep. And they play seventeen games. So you could be like, wow,

957
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: the Niners and the Eagles had the easiest schedule in

958
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: the league last year. Okay, well, Florida State played blah

959
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. I mean, and they did. They

960
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: strength The schedule doesn't matter at all. I mean, well,

961
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: I guess it does. I mean, but it's it should

962
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 1: It doesn't in the NFL. It's just the number.

963
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 2: You know who you're gonna play. We could give you

964
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 2: the Steelers schedule for next year.

965
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 1: And the year after almost. I mean, there's three games there.

966
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 2: There are four games now that are you know, up

967
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 2: in the air, and even those are kind of set

968
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 2: right now on the standings and things that you are

969
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 2: someone with a similar record but in the X division, right, So,

970
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 2: I mean, you know what the you know what the

971
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 2: situation is. You know what you gotta do. The tie

972
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 2: breakers are all out there. Now go win your win

973
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 2: enough games to get in.

974
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not make your case, you know. Like I

975
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 1: thought it was interesting because I was watching that Florida

976
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: State Louisville game and the announcer it was pretty late

977
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 1: in the game and Florida State had a pretty well

978
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: wrapped up and he said, I hate to say this, folks,

979
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,439
Speaker 1: but they should try to run the score up. Yeah,

980
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like the game is in hand,

981
00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: and he's like, they they probably have the strongest case.

982
00:43:01,200 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: And he's actually calling the game. There's five minutes left

983
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: in the game or whatever the heck it was. He's like,

984
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: they try to score two more touchdowns because they're far

985
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 1: from in Like, what is going on here? I mean, like,

986
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 1: is that really how the world should work? But I

987
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: assume that's what Texas did. Yeah, a little bit of that.

988
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's and you know, they were probably had the

989
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: strongest case of the one. Well, they did have the

990
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 2: strong case of the they had beaten Alabama once. Alabama

991
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 2: to beat Georgia. I just like to be Georgia in

992
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 2: that situation.

993
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: Right, We're the best team in the league for defending champions.

994
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: We had one loss that came in our in our championship,

995
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,840
Speaker 2: mean by three points. Yeah, and we don't get in.

996
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: And I think they're back to back champions, aren't they. Yeah.

997
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: So another thing makes me crazy about college is all

998
00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: I've heard today on my phone is this is not

999
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 1: going to play on the transfers, all the transfers.

1000
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 2: So I assume whoever quarterbacked their team all year isn't

1001
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 2: going to play in the bowl game. The Ohio State

1002
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 2: quarterback is, where's he going from Ohio State? That's going

1003
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 2: to be a better situation than what he had at

1004
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: Ohio State.

1005
00:43:57,400 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: I got a bunch of Ohio State fans. They think

1006
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: they're going to go get like Arch Manning or something,

1007
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: somebody better than him, that he's gonna get benched a

1008
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: college football man, and they're all making millions now, Like

1009
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's it's the wild West. It's the

1010
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: wild West. I do think. I don't know anything, but

1011
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 1: I think it's eventually he's gonna be an AFC in

1012
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: an NFC in college and they're just gonna meet in

1013
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: the super Bowl at some point some kind of playoff

1014
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: to get that.

1015
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 2: That would make a hell of a lot more sense

1016
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 2: than what's going on now? Yes, it would, and to me,

1017
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 2: it should be more like the NFL likes you. All right,

1018

Speaker 2: you're coming to my school. You've you've mister freshman, You're

00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 1: they won? How does a kid not go? And then

1042
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: it affects the NFL draft, Like should I make two

1043
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: million of Texas or should I come out? We'll see.

1044
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: Life's pretty good, is a long horn. Yeah, I'm pretty

1045
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: popular on campus. This isn't a bad life. I think

1046
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: less people come out.

1047
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't think it's good for football. But no, no, yeah,

1048
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 2: but that's what we're living with right now. Because I

1049
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 2: don't I don't begrudge the players getting paid.

1050
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: No, but it's a awful But this is there needs

1051
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: to be more rules with this stuff. This is crazy.

1052
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: I think it's nuts too. I mean I always felt

1053
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: for the the kid that gets recruited coach leaves the

1054
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: next year, Like, dude, I just signed up and I'm

1055
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: stuck here with a coach I don't know at all.

1056
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: Like I have no problem with those guys being a lot.

1057
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 2: Of Yeah, some freedom, well kind of, like you said,

1058
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: it's almost be like a two year contract.

1059
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you sign up to play here, we recruited you,

1060
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: you made the choice to come here. You put your

1061
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: name on the dattered line. We're going to pay you

1062
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: whatever you got to stay at least you olwe us

1063
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: at least a year or two. You know what I mean.

1064
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 2: It can't be good for the product to have all

1065
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 2: these quarterbacks changing program and not.

1066
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: To mention, I mean, we sound old, but like you

1067
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: grow up pits. You know, Dann Marino is a pit guy,

1068
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 1: you know, like, who's the best guys in pitt Well,

1069
00:46:37,080 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. You only last one.

1070
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 2: Last thing I say about that before we get to

1071
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: go here is how about we get the kids who

1072
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,799
Speaker 2: have spent one year at a program to not go

1073
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 2: on on social media.

1074
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm leaving here. I'll be a longhorn for life.

1075
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 2: Once you're there for one year or two years, you know,

1076
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 2: you've just made a decision that you're not a long

1077
00:46:55,960 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 2: horn for life, So loyalties shot anyway. I don't like it,

1078
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 2: and that obviously the playoff.

1079
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: Starts really rough. Yeah as we started.

1080
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 2: It's a mess, but it is what it is, and

1081
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 2: that's going to do it for our show today. So
