Speaker 3: didn't even need much out of DeVante Adams, but we had.

12
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: But he was funny.

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 3: He got enough to keep us in the money. And

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: a lot of injuries.

17
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: In find of injuries, massive ones.

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 3: And Tuesday is of course the day where we start

19
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: looking at some of the waiver wire pickups.

20
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: Uh, James Connor, is this the streaming defense day? I was,

21
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: this is the streaming defense all right? But yeah, James Connor,

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: be an ounce big.

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, James Connor out, he goes He went on I R,

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: which means out at least four weeks here, Yeah, do

25
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 3: you wanna do you want to go after and Maari

26
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 3: de Mercado.

27
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: Kind of Now, I mean this is really nerding out,

28
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: but please know that is often the case. He got

29
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: thrust into action because Keyante Ingram, who's not great, none

30
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: of these gouts great. But he was inactive, you know,

31
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: like doesn't play special teams. So now that you prepare

32
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: knowing Connor's injured, is a lot different than in game. Hey,

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,559
Speaker 1: you got to take over, dude, you know. But this guy,

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: he was Kendre Miller's backup at TCU. He has some

35
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: juice to him for an undrafted and didn't know much

36
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: about him type guy, and there's a pretty strong history.

37
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren comes to mind. But like these undrafted free

38
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: ad Warren is better than that. But I mean, like

39
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: some of these undrafted free agents that have one shot

40
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: and one opportunity, you know, I mean they go hard,

41
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like he's not gonna leave

42
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: anything on the field.

43
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. Uh so obviously he's a guy that's

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 3: not owned. Sure, I mean probably can I hadn't heard

45
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 3: of him until about a week ago. Yeah, right, I

46
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: saw the name. Basically again he was he was a

47
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: backup in college. Back up at college, right, find a

48
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: good back. Chuba Hubbard should be in leagues now, he

49
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,839
Speaker 3: should be in leagues. Yeah, yeah, I mean he's gonna

50
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 3: get the ball, as should Ingram should be in leagues.

51
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: They probably they probably end up splitting time. It probably

52
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 3: becomes a time.

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: Share and we'll see how next week will be a real.

54
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: In a not great offense and not great offense.

55
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: The other thing about their offense and their whole team,

56
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: now that the injuries are starting to kick in, I

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: think like in the power ranks, they're going to start

58
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: falling and fall in fall in who he thought they were.

59
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: You know, the moja or the the the caffeine boost

60
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: kind of wears off a little bit and then you got

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: to test your depth.

62
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 3: Chuba Hubbard's owned in thirty two percent of leagues. Sanders

63
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 3: is kind of a he's nott producing ye Sanders right now.

64
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if there'll be a change. Well, yeah, I

65
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: mean the team's bad.

66
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 3: Last two weeks, Hubbard has out carried Sanders twenty three

67
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: to twenty.

68
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: Has he Okay, Anders produce isn't producing at all, and

69
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: Hubbard does catch the football, he's fine. You can swing

70
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: pass them and whatnot. Yeah, I mean, so it's not

71
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: a good offense, but he might be a flex at

72
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: this point.

73
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: We're into by weeks here. Now this week it's only

74
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 3: the Steelers and Packers. Okay, so it's only two teams.

75
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 3: But if you're if you're really hurting it, running back

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: not a bad He's not a.

77
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: Bad stash at a worst or you know, maybe should

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: get a rush guy. Yeah, he should be on more

79
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: than thirty two percent around uh.

80
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: With the Devin at Chan news, Jeff Wilson is eligible

81
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 3: to be activated off of ir grab him.

82
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't even think he's good. But he's the

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: perfect Niner Miami system back before they really coveted speed.

84
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's zone runner.

85
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 3: If anything, even in that offense, if he just gets

86
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 3: the you know, short yardage carry.

87
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: I mean, just give me anyone touching the ball in

88
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: that offense, and if.

89
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 3: They're blowing somebody out, he's out there, you know, getting

90
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 3: ten carries because they're blowing somebody out there.

91
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: I mean, like if you claimed if you claimed him,

92
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: Wednesday night. Are you starting him this week? Well, he's

93
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: got to be activated first, assume many plays, Yeah, you

94
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 1: get all that stuff. He might be in the top

95
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: twenty four maybe maybe. I mean, guess what the team

96
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: he's on most are sure is.

97
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: Ty Jay Spears somehow is They'll still only owned in

98
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: twenty six percent of leagues. He has out snapped Derrick

99
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: Henry in three out of five.

100
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: Weeks, and he looks exceptional. He's catching the football once

101
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: in a while. I think you'll see them on the

102
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: field together. Like he's too talented to be on waiver wires.

103
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: I don't care what happens or who's around him and

104
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: rookie I mean, it hasn't really come to fruition yet,

105
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: and it probably will more and more. Some of these

106
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: mid round rookie running backs, third rounders, fourth rounders, Kendre Millers,

107
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: Roshawn Johnson. I'm sure we'll talk about they usually have

108
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: better second half of the season than they do first.

109
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: You know, like he could be Spears could be really useful.

110
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: How about Deonta Foreman. He been he's been an active

111
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: Khalil Herbert's hurt, Johnson got hurt. He's in concussion protocol.

112
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: I think Wellson, okay, that's.

113
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 3: Probably doesn't get back from that. Deonda Foreman could be

114
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 3: the guy this week for the Bears.

115
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 1: He could. I mean, there's obviously problems there in that

116
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: Olds hurts their running game. Johnson's ahead of Foreman, but

117
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: he's going to touch ball and Johnson's not guaranteed to

118
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: play right, So no, I mean I would consider acclaim

119
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: for him. I mean, if you've been sitting on a

120
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: guy that's not doing any good on it, if you.

121
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 3: Pick him up, he might be worth a start if you.

122
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: Maybe if Johnson is out this week then and Foreman's

123
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,160
Speaker 3: the only guy, like you're gonna get fifteen carries out

124
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 3: of him this week.

125
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: And he's a hard, charging, tough dude. This just doesn't

126
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: catch a ball much, doesn't give you anything on special teams,

127
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: but in terms of giving him a workload, he can

128
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 1: handle that.

129
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 3: As we've seen with the running quarterbacks open things up

130
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: so much for the for the running game, they do

131
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 3: because it just creates that extra gap for the defense

132
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 3: to have to control, and all of a sudden, somebody

133
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: gets out of their gap because they're worried about the

134
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: quarterback jumping outside of them and the running backs running

135
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: through with the ball.

136
00:06:55,480 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: And Foreman has some long runs in his career, this hill.

137
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: Is still only rostered in twenty eight percent of the leagues.

138
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: He's the more valuable bat I think he is. You know,

139
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: like every anyone that starts Gus Edwards knows this. He

140
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 3: gets got a floor and the floor is low. The ceiling,

141
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 3: the ceilings lost.

142
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the floor's okay, but it's twelve carries for thirty.

143
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: Eight yards every week, maybe falls into the eighty, maybe

144
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: never catches the ball.

145
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: I mean, my point is, when are they get to

146
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: get tired of that, you know what I mean?

147
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 3: And trade always where he's supposed to be out. Well,

148
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: I'm not going to get Jonathan Taylor now.

149
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: He hasn't changed the game at all. Yeah, what do

150
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 1: you think happens in Indianapolis? Mean, Taylor just takes over

151
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: soon and poor Moskeets screwed.

152
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: If I were them, like Moss's contract is up after

153
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: this year, trade him, I would trade him. I'd be like, hey, guys,

154
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: here he is. We just just he ran nuts against

155
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: you two weeks ago.

156
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: Like he's better than what they got, oh, without a doubt. Yeah,

157
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean Taylor is going to be the guy.

158
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: Money talks and he's very, very talented. I thought he'd

159
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: be the guy this past week. So I'm shocked by that.

160
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: But Moss has value.

161
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we talked about Moss last year, you know,

162
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 3: when he was on the trading block in Buffalo. Wasn't

163
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 3: being used at all in Buffalo, like we love the Steelers.

164
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was a backup type. I mean, he's not

165
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: a bad player.

166
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 3: Way way better than like Benny Snell.

167
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we liked him coming out of school. Oh,

168
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: I loved him, loved him. Wide receiver k j Osborne

169
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: is on eleven percent of leagues. If you were expecting

170
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 1: kJ Osborne, however, to step in and and and get

171
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson targets, that ain't happening.

172
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: But you have to.

173
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 1: You have to have your expectations here. It's going to

174
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: be like six targets per game, probably like that injury helpst.

175
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 3: Hawkinson's going to be the guy who's going to get targeted.

176
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: He helps them. I am almost certain. I haven't checked

177
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: in like two weeks, but I think Osborne has been

178
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: out snapping Addison, but Addison's getting much more quality targets.

179
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 1: But he's out there. They use them more and he's

180
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: out there plenty, so he gets a spike, but he's

181
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: already in your league. Osborne is definitely worth picking up,

182
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's a one. It's definitely not

183
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: a one for one. Usage is not even close. It

184
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: hurts Cousins. They don't have any running game, like they

185
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: may start to lose a lot of games and start

186
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: losing bad. Now you know it's he's sat. They can't

187
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: run the ball. They can't run the ball, and.

188
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 3: They've they've they've actually started splitting that backfield a little

189
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: bit now and neither one of them are running.

190
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: I think i'd be getting out on Vikings, maybe not Hawk.

191
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 3: Not not Hockinson.

192
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: He's still really valuable, and he might be tight end

193
00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: one Josh Downs who I'm a fan nine perc ownership.

194
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: I thought he went in the draft much too late.

195
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: I thought he was more like a top fifty pick.

196
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: But he's a pure slot. But he gets open all

197
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: the time, and they don't have they don't have a

198
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: chain mover. Minshew's perfect for him. Yea, yeah. I mean

199
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: Richardson's accuracy can be an issue, but he's produced with

200
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: Richardson too, and Richard's not gonna be there for a while.

201
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, Yeah, Curtis Samuel, what's his story, seventeen

202
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: percent ownership, Okay, he's he's. I mean, the other guys

203
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: aren't hurt or anything. It's just Samuel's producing.

204
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 3: Here's the thing, if you look at what's happening right

205
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: now in Washington, they don't throw outside the numbers at all.

206
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: No, they don't.

207
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 3: So everything's in the middle of the field. So it's

208
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: all to the tight end, and it's all to Curtis Samuel.

209
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's a b enemy and howe thing. Yeah,

210
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: it probably won't change soon. I mean, Curtis Samuel has

211
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: been he's he's a good football player too. He's a

212
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: top fifty receiving yards in three out of five games

213
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: this year. He's had and ten PPR points in three

214
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: of those five games. He'll get there.

215
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: The last two weeks he's been out like eighteen and

216
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: a half points a game in the last two weeks.

217
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't think Dotson's one hundred percent. And I'm not

218
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: even sure mclaurin's toe ever white heeled. Yeah, so no,

219
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: i'd grab him.

220
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they find ways to get him the football because

221
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 3: you know he came over with rivera from from Carolina.

222
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: Oh, good point. I think about that connection. No, I

223
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: mean I think he has value. Rashie Rice is owned

224
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 1: in thirty nine percent of leagues. Now, he's not getting

225
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: on the field a ton, but when he's on the field, yeah,

226
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: they look his way because he's different than their other guys.

227
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: He is. I mean, boy, that receiver room's a mess

228
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: and it's hard to invest in. But I think if

229
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: you had to own one, he's your choice.

230
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 3: He's the guy that gets the red zone targets.

231
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, and rookie receiver at least with some upside.

232
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean no, there's nothing. There's nothing there, and

233
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,320
Speaker 3: the other guys are smurfs.

234
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean he's a sturdy, well built guy. I

235
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: didn't love him. I don't love him, but I also

236
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: didn't realize when I watched him at school he was

237
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: playing with an ankle or a knee the whole time too,

238
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: that nobody wasn't reported until after the combine. Yeah, so maybe,

239
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean it might be real happy own him come

240
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: week ten.

241
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 3: It's it's right now, it's touchdown dependent.

242
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: I was. I picked him up last week. Yeah, and

243
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: I I think a snapcom keep going up.

244
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 3: When Sakuon Barkley got decleared out, I'm like, Okay, now

245
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 3: I need a and now I need a flex. Now

246
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, I got Michael Thomas, No, I got you know,

247
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 3: I had some other some other options there, and I

248
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: went with Rashi Rice because I'm like he might score

249
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 3: this week. Well, they played Minnesota this week. Minnesota's past

250
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: defense is.

251
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: Awful, awful. He's the definition right now of what the

252
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: heck flex?

253
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: Yeah right, Josh Reynolds at forty one percent.

254
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: I have to get out on that one.

255
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 3: I think I think the time has passed now. With

256
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: Jamison Williams back.

257
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: Well, I think Saint Brown's gonna be back. Sat Brown

258
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: will be back. They went those two to get the football. Yeah,

259
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: Reynolds has been Thanks for your duty, sir. We appreciate it,

260
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: but we know we have better guys it.

261
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 3: Tight end Luke Musgrave has owned in twenty four percent

262
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 3: of league.

263
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm a believer. I like what he does. Injury slowed

264
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: him down a couple weeks ago. He moves well.

265
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: Jordan Love is just so an achy.

266
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: He's all over the place.

267
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: He really really is it's like shooting the shotgun every

268
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: time he throws the ball. You haven't you don't know

269
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: where the BB's going to hit at.

270
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 1: Worse than it should be at this stage too. I

271
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: mean he's been a league long enough. Yeah, that's it

272
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: is a problem.

273
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 3: Zach Ertz still owned in fifty percent of leagues.

274
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's no ceiling nothing, pretty high floor. Yeah,

275
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas, we've talked about him now for a couple

276
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: of weeks, and you poop poop me on it.

277
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: I know, he's averaging five point three receptions in fifty

278
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 3: four yards per game.

279
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: I think there's an argument to mad that he's a

280
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: top twelve basically every week starter.

281
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. The problem is you then have to trust Logan

282
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: Thomas to stay healthy through a full game.

283
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, such as life, I mean yeah, I mean I

284
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: think he's right there with like a Jake Ferguson.

285
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 3: It beats the heck out of starting zach Ertz.

286
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

287
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they throw the ball again to the

288
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 3: middle of the field. Everything's to the middle of the field.

289
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 3: I mean you're starting him over like Friar Muth or

290
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: Pitts right now. Yeah, I mean those guys aren't produced

291
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: and Pit's haut a decent game finally, but they're hard

292
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 3: to trust. Dalton Schultz, another guy you hate, still only

293
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: owned in thirty six percent of leagues. He's feeling more

294
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 3: and more though seven for sixty five in a score

295
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 3: last week.

296
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: He started really slow, and I always hate when guys

297
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: run a lot of routes and aren't getting targeted. And

298
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: that's how he was leading into the Steeler game. Yeah,

299
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: and it's getting better, it definitely is.

300
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 3: We usually don't look at quarterback, but we do have

301
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 3: a couple of quarterbacks. Baker Mayfield solely owned in nineteen

302
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 3: percent of league.

303
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: He's playing well when he has good receivers.

304
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 3: It's all about who he's throwing the ball to. Derek

305
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 3: Carzon in twenty four percent of the leagues. I assume

306
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 3: he got cut a lot when the shoulder he has heard,

307
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: it's still not.

308
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: Last week was so hard to tell because they needed nothing,

309
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: nothing at all. So like a lave has been super

310
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: quiet for two weeks now, they haven't needed them. You're

311
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: picking up Gardner Minshew. If you have Anthony Richardson, I mean,

312
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: he's not a top twenty quarterback, but I mean.

313
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: If you're in the two quarterback if you're in a

314
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 3: super flex.

315
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, and maybe you need him through the

316
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: bye weeks or whatever. I mean, he played really well

317
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: those last week. I don't mean to sell him short

318
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: at all. He played very very well this week.

319
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, looking here ahead at week six to see if

320
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 3: at our streaming defense options aren't there.

321
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: It always a fun little chat.

322
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 3: Always a fun little chat.

323
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: And it starts off with Thursday night's game Broncos at Chiefs.

324
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

325
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,359
Speaker 1: Yes not the Broncos.

326
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: That's it. I had the Chiefs playing. The Chiefs just played, they.

327
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: Just played Minnesota.

328
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: Now they get the Broncos.

329
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs d's great.

330
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 3: So maybe you can fire Rashi Rice up again this week.

331
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: Yeah maybe maybe, maybe maybe because the Broncos might score

332
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: just enough to keep the Chiefs possibly have the pedal

333
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: Broncos d is. It's probably the worst league.

334
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 3: Right awful, which is I mean two years ago, except

335
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 3: their defense was.

336
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: Good, was good. It's just gone down and down and down. Uh.

337
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 3: We got another, of course, a game in London this

338
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 3: week that will be the Ravens at the Titans.

339
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: I might play both of them, prefer the Ravens.

340
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 3: Prefer the Ravens.

341
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Tennessee's d's okay, especially against the run. You

342
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: know the Ravens want to do that.

343
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well they weren't last week against No, they weren't.

344
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: Ravens are definitely usable. Moving on to the one o'clock game.

345
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: The commanders at the Falcons.

346
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: Real quick question for you. When I make a fantasy decision,

347
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: if it's a nine to thirty game overseas, that's a

348
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 1: tiebreaker against them. It's just if I'm torn, I'm like,

349
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: that's an overseas game, I'll probably side with the other one.

350
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: I just think there's more they go. They crazy stuff

351
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: happens because weird stuff happens, especially for like a defense

352
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 1: or whatever. I'm like, there's gonna be a punt block

353
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna my defense is gonna get up to

354
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: any points? Yeah, what was that next thing?

355
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Commanders at Falcons.

356
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: Hmm.

357
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 3: This could be a game where the Falcons finally get

358
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 3: some sacks.

359
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 1: Could be I bet so Falcons versus Texans last week, Houston,

360
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: as we found out with Steelers, will throw exotic game

361
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: plans at you. All they wanted the Falcons to do

362
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: was ritter, please throw all over and he did, and

363
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: he actually did, so they paid the price for that

364
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: at I just don't know if other teams will go

365
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: to the extreme Houston did. And I know we're talking defenses,

366
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: but I just want to throw that out there with Atlanta.

367
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 3: The thing about the Falcons, They're not going to put

368
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 3: up a ton of points against anybody, against anybody, because

369
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: that's just not the way that they play. So is

370
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 3: Washington's the Both of those defenses I think are in play.

371
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 3: I think they're because that game is like to be

372
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 3: low scoring. Yeah, low twenties at most.

373
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: How and Ritter could definitely throw the ones to the

374
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: other team, or they'll take sacks sacks how it sacked

375
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: Vikings at the Bears. Mmm, I don't want an I

376
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: gotta take a pass on either one of They're not

377
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: hard challenges, but they're just bad defenses.

378
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you get the Seahawks at the Bengals.

379
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm afraid of the Bengals.

380
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 3: Though Burrows still took three sacks in the game against

381
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 3: their their offense, he will still get sacked.

382
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Seattle rushes pass quite well. One of them

383
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: was against the Giants. Excuse them a little bit. I mean,

384
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: you get eleven in one game. That kind of Bengals

385
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: D hasn't quite lived up to what I expect they

386
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: have not Fantasy wise either. It's mediocre.

387
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: So if I had to start one in that game,

388
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 3: I'd start the Seahawks.

389
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 1: I think I started Seattle over.

390
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not convinced that that I'm shining away from

391
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 3: both that the Bengals are out of the woods with

392
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 3: Burrow yet, Like he didn't have to move around the

393
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 3: whole lot last week?

394
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: You didn't. I thought it was encouraging, But you're.

395
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 3: Right, Uh, forty nine ers at the Browns. Both of

396
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: those defenses are owned. But can you start the Browns?

397
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if I want to start the Browns

398
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 3: in that game?

399
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: Right? I mean, like, did you start the Cowboys last week?

400
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: It's the same conversation. Yeah, it's a great defense against

401
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: a juggernaut. You always start the Niners D.

402
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 3: Do you look? Could the forty nine ers have a

403
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 3: letdown this week? They just played the Cowboys. That's a

404
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 3: big rivalry game. Forget who was calling them the death Star.

405
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 3: They're just blowing playing it's up right now.

406
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: I mean they really are. I don't want to put

407
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 1: any of my hard earned money betting on the Niners

408
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: to slip up in any way.

409
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, Saints at the Texans.

410
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: Saints d's good. I mean, I know they played the

411
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: Patriots last week, but yeah, offense hasn't done anything. Still,

412
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: haven't had an interception of the Texans offense. So really, Yeah,

413
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: considering the Texans D pretty low in the list.

414
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: And yeah it's lower in the list.

415
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think the Saints D is one of those

416
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: ones that, unless it's an awful matchup, you start him.

417
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: Colts at the Jaguars.

418
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: Jag stopped the run, so is that a good jumping

419
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: off point.

420
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 3: The Colts haven't if you remember, the Colts haven't won

421
00:20:55,720 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: in Jacksonville. Oh yeah, that's strange things happened to them

422
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: in Jacksonville.

423
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: I definitely do. It's kind of turned into like a

424
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: Raven Steelers light type of thing. That's gonna be weird.

425
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, something bad is going to happen to the Colts

426
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 3: in Jacksonville.

427
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 1: I lean towards neither of those d though.

428
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, there might you probably have a better match up eight. Yeah, uh,

429
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 3: Panthers at Dolphins.

430
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins, yes, yeah, and they're not even that good, no,

431
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: but I'll start them yeah, I picked up the Dolphins

432
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: in my one league. They just want to go out

433
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: and we're gonna go out and put forty on the board,

434
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: and if you score some points, so be it. But

435
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: then you get sacks in the end, I guess. Yeah.

436
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: Mean they played the Giants and then the Panthers this

437
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: week is why I picked them up, just to start

438
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: them these two weeks.

439
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: I love them.

440
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't love them, No, I just I love their opponent,

441
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: Patriots at Raiders. Are you firing up the Raiders defense? No,

442
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 1: it wasn't bad. Last wasn't bad and Crosby is a superstar.

443
00:21:55,840 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: M Patriots offense is broken? Are we done with the

444
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: Patriots D now too? Yes? I think you have to be.

445
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 3: I mean with Withoutzales out there, they're they're cooked.

446
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: They're always on the field too. I lean towards neither,

447
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: but I'm definitely not afraid of the Patriots offense.

448
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 3: Lions at Buccaneers a pair of one loss teams.

449
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: Lions d's basically all the time. Yeah, they're getting to

450
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: that point no one bucks D coming off of bye,

451
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 1: But still where's that at in Tampa Bay? Still I

452
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: fear the Lions offense?

453
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 3: Uh, Cardinals at Rams.

454
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: It's made a face for those of you who couldn't

455
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: see Rams D starting to get that both these teams

456
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 1: are starting that attrition thing, you know, like they're pretty

457
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: thin on defense and starting to show I would not

458
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: start to call I'm gonna say, no, I'm both too.

459
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: Eagles at Jets. You're starting the Eagles. Of course, the

460
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: Jets the top twelve. We even't had a lot of

461
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 1: against the Eagles, No, I think, no, no, no, no, no,

462
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: we couldn't come up with twelve good ones though. Yeah,

463
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: well you know I don't. That's not one of them.

464
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,440
Speaker 3: Giants at Bills. That's the Sunday night game.

465
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: I mean, no Milano bye week and that's the Sunday

466
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: night game. You gotta be kidding me. Of course, not

467
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: the Giants, and of course the Bills.

468
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 3: I don't even know if I want to watch that thing,

469
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: unless say, Quon Barkley is back and maybe.

470
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: Sounds like Daniel Jones is likely to play, but block for.

471
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 3: Him, No, he might get destroyed against.

472
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: Seven and eight sacks of gaming. Those guys.

473
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 3: We're going to see Daniel Jones. He's gonna set the

474
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 3: record for most sacks taken in night games and the

475
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 3: primetime games.

476
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, just keep putting New York at Night on that great.

477
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Uh then Monday night game Cowboys at Chargers? Are you

478
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: starting the Cowboys defense against the Chargers? I don't love

479
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: the matchup, but I think that they are a lot

480
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: better than what we saw and should come back. Like

481
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm not dropping them if I have their D. I

482
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: don't love it, but I don't like the Chargers D.

483
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 3: You're probably top twelve. The Chargers defense is awful. Yeah,

484
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 3: I can't do that even against mistake Prescotte, Right, I mean,

485
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure the Cowboys are probably favored in that game.

486
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 3: I'm not starting to Chargers D and leaning towards hopefully

487
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 3: not the cough. Yeah, I'm not great, not a great

488
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 3: one for that, No for sure.

489
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: Anyway, what do we do for dfs? We pay up

490
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: for like a Niners? We can't.

491
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 3: We can't use the Chiefs because their Thursday night Yeah, yeah,

492
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 3: that takes that out of the equation. Or do we

493
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 3: just get a super cheap one and hope it doesn't

494
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 3: kill us the Ravens or the Titans. I don't know.

495
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: Maybe here's what the prices are. Yeah, I don't spend

496
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: a lot of like the Niners or the Bills. We

497
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: never pay up for defense. It might be worth it

498
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: this week might.

499
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 3: Be Let's get through a break. He is Matt Williamson.

500
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: I am Dale Lollie. You're listening to the Drive here

501
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 3: on Steelers Nation Radio. We'll be back with more right

502
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 3: after this.

503
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: Black and Gold Football lives here twenty four to seven.

504
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: You're listening to SNR. This is the Drive with Dale

505
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: Lolly and Matt Williamson on your twenty four to seven

506
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,199
Speaker 2: home of the Black and Gold SNR Steelers Nation Radio.

507
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 3: Welcome back. I am Dale Lolli. He is the Matt

508
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 3: Williamson and it is time met to take a look

509
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 3: at the power rankings this week. We always use Eric

510
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 3: Edholmes Power Rankings on NFL dot Com, and we have

511
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 3: a clear number thirty two. Now that would be the

512
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers who have moved down here.

513
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a clear thirty two. I think

514
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: there's three junk teams. We'll bring the other two up

515
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: in a minute. They're a strong case. Don't get me wrong,

516
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: they're terrible. But I think there's two other teams that

517
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: are as bad.

518
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 3: At thirty one down a spart of the Giants, and.

519
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: That's one of them. Yeah, that's one of them. Not

520
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: blocking anybody's problematic, that would be an issue. And Miami

521
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: has destroyed them on the other side of the ball too.

522
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 3: At thirty up two spots, they were last. They're now thirtieth.

523
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 3: The Chicago Bears.

524
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: See, I don't think they're the three junk teams. I

525
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: mean they're not good. There would be shortly after this one,

526
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: but I think they're slightly better than a team that

527
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: has yet to be mentioned.

528
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 3: At twenty nine is probably this team down five spots

529
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 3: in New England Patriots.

530
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: No, but they're all I think there's six really really

531
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: bad teams. Three of them are the junk junk teams.

532
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: I would have Denver in the bottom three. Denver's bad, Yeah,

533
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: I think Denver's worst.

534
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 3: Denvers next, they're twenty eighth.

535
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: Denver's defense is horrific. Yeah, and sounds like they're going

536
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: to try to sell everybody off. Everyone thinks Sean Payton

537
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: is saving the day, and how's that going? I mean,

538
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: people want to give tom On a hard time. Go

539
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: ask Peyton and Belichick. How of life's going? Yeah? Right by,

540
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: Like these Hall of Fame type coaches and Harball wasn't

541
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: his finest moment this past week.

542
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 3: He's not well. Yeah, at twenty seven, holding Steady the

543
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals.

544
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: That might be their ceiling, but I they're the best

545
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: of those teams. To me, when you get past this,

546
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 1: I think some of these, all the other teams have

547
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 1: some respectability.

548
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: At twenty six, down four spots, Washington.

549
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, they're just and they've been

550
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: this way for the last two decades, the most non

551
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 1: disagree team in the league. They're not a competitor, but

552
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: they have some good moments. And they don't really have

553
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback, but he's okay, and you know, the coach

554
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: doesn't really inspire me. Yeah, I guess it's fine. I

555
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: don't know who i'd put in that spot.

556
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 3: At twenty five, holding Steady or the Vikings.

557
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're going it's gonna be bad here

558
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: in the next few weeks. I think they've been too

559
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: hard on them in power ranking recent memory, but now

560
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be.

561
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 3: Now that's where they're going to settle in at Yeah,

562
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 3: at twenty four, up five spots, the Raiders.

563
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean we just mentioned they're better than the Patriots, right, yeah,

564
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah, So that's a good spot for them.

565
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 3: I think they're better than all these teams below them.

566
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: M So you think if the Raiders, Vikings, and Commanders

567
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: had a round robin tournament, they came out the champs, yes, okay, yeah, yeah,

568
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: I mean.

569
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 3: The Raiders, they don't have anything beyond their stars, really,

570
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 3: but they're good stars. But they're good stars. Yeah, it's good.

571
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: It's a good starting spot to have. They're not a

572
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: non descript team, right, their offense is pretty good. Yeah,

573
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 3: it can't I mean I mean amongst this group.

574
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

575
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: At twenty three down seven spots where they were way

576
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 3: too high on them last week, the Titans. This is

577
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 3: where they believe. That's who they are.

578
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm not sure they should be in that round

579
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: robin tournament too, you know.

580
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 3: Bad football team at twenty two down five spots. The Rams.

581
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: What to make of them? I mean, the Eagles are

582
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: a tough matchup for them, and they just controlled the

583
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: football the whole time. But the Rams are hard to

584
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: play against. Stafford's a star, yeah, which you gonna hit

585
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: them back? You go to hit them. Yeah, we'll talk

586
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: more about them. Defense worries. Yeah, for their perspective.

587
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: Down six spots to twenty one are the Houston Texans.

588
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 1: That's who they are. I mean, they've had a couple

589
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 1: of good moments, but it's going to be a roller

590
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: coaster for them this year.

591
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: That's what it is when you have a rookie quarterback.

592
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: They're playing the most rookie snaps of any team in

593
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: the league. I mean they're very very young.

594
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: At twenty, up three spots the Steelers.

595
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: Okay, we'll see who's directly above them, but I get it. Yeah,

596
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: you said twenty Yeah, I mean none of the things

597
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,400
Speaker 1: we mentioned I'd have over them. I would this at

598
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: nineteen of the Jets. Come on, man, beating Denver's not

599
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: too tremendous.

600
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 3: No, No, if the Steelers played the Jets right now,

601
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:17,960
Speaker 3: they would.

602
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: They win that game seven out of ten times. Yeah,

603
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: that would have him over the Jets at eighteen only

604
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 1: down four spots the Packers. That was a bad showing

605
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: last night. They haven't looked good in a while.

606
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 3: Like Jordan Love, Well, maybe we'll look at it like

607
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: when the Quarterbacks index stuff comes out this next week.

608
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 3: If he is considerably ahead of Kenny Pickett and the

609
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 3: Quarterback Index not fair. That's not fair at all because

610
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: he is not playing well.

611
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 1: So I often reference EPA and I was looking at

612
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 1: the quarterback stuff today and they have a really good

613
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: metric of expected I forget how it's a but they

614
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: do completion percentage a little different. So if you're throwing

615
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: screens all the time, you don't get the same credit

616
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: for throwing fifty yard balls. And you should know what

617
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: I mean, and he shouldn't. So there's a degree of

618
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: difficulty that they.

619
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 3: What's a degree of difficulty for throwing two to Robert

620
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 3: Spelene exactly exactly.

621
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: So there's two quarterbacks on their chart that are by

622
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: far the worst accuracy percentage. It's Richardson, who you'd expect.

623
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: He has every excuse to be. You knew that when

624
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: you drafted him. He hasn't played much football, and he

625
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: wasn't accurate. It's love and then it's just a big

626
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: gap that everybody else. Every time he throws the football,

627
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: it's like a shotgun, Like you're firing a shotgun. You're

628
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: just hoping he hits the target. He shouldn't be at

629
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: that stage. I know he hasn't played a ton, but

630
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: he's been in football now for.

631
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: They've they've been working with him for a long time.

632
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: And I'm sure he has a you know, a personal

633
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: quarterback coach for the off season. You got to be

634
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: more accurate by this date. They'll be in a quarterback

635
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: market this offseason. I think so. I think so. At

636
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 1: seventeen up nine spot the Colts. They hidden wins? Are

637
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: they three and two? They're three and two? But nine spots? Yeah,

638
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. You beat the Titans, beat

639
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: the Titan home? So who else are they beating the

640
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: Ravens And I don't remember. I don't know that beating

641
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: Tennessee is I'll yeah, I'll think the Steelers are the Colts.

642
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, we'll get to see that matchup later in

643
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 3: the year. At sixteen up five spots, the Falcons.

644
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: Boy, they were really not looking good before this week

645
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: and narrowly beat the Texans.

646
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

647
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 1: This whole neighborhood's sort of similar. They all have one.

648
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to bring up a point here in the

649
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 3: I'm going to bring up a point in a bit.

650
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 3: At fifteen up five spots the Bengals.

651
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: See, I would even know you haven't higher.

652
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: I don't know that they're fixed. Their defense is still troublesome.

653
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 3: One game against the Cardinals does not does not show

654
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 3: me that you Burrow is out of the woods here.

655
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: I just they would be the hardest team for me

656
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: to run.

657
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 3: Doesn't fixt what you put on tape the first four

658
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 3: weeks of the year when you were awful.

659
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: But the defense is solid. It's a little less exciting

660
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: than I wanted to be the O linees. The problem

661
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: to me now is and we'll see a Borough can

662
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: put two games together. That's easier said than done. But

663
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: they can still win Super Bowl. And I'm not talking

664
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: about future success. I mean that's not what power ranks are.

665
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: At fourteen up four spots. The Saints, I'm cool with that.

666
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: You walk into New England and just stomp them. Okay,

667
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think they're great, but I'm fine

668
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: with them being there.

669
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: Thirteen holding steady the Chargers.

670
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean, just because you're a buye, you shouldn't

671
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: hold steady necessarily right. People them around you move, but

672
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: they're hard to play against. They got stars.

673
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 3: One of the teams that did have a buy and

674
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 3: moved was Cleveland down a spot to twelve. It's Cleveland

675
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 3: better than Baltimore. They might be. Baltimore might be third

676
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 3: in the division to me. Right now, we'll get to them.

677
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: But at eleven down one spot, Tampa Bay, they moved

678
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 3: down on their.

679
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:18,720
Speaker 1: By Okay, that whole group there, Tampa Cleveland. I probably

680
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: would have Tampa lower than those last couple of teams.

681
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 3: At ten down two spots, Baltimore.

682
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if you're making the case against them,

683
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: their two losses are the Steelers and Colts, who are

684
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: noticeably lower than you on these ranks. Hence, this was

685
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 1: going to be my point. Okay, there's just going to

686
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 1: be my point. And their wins aren't great. So the

687
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,760
Speaker 1: Steelers have etr and a shell of Joe Burrow.

688
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 3: The Steelers have wins over number twelve Browns and the

689
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 3: number ten Ravens, so he had an eight going in

690
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 3: the last week when they beat the Browns. The Browns

691
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:56,280
Speaker 3: were a top ten team.

692
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: They have a loss against the team's gonna be number one,

693
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,360
Speaker 1: right and Houston, who isn't a Junco Houston team. Houston's

694
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: ahead of the Steelers on the list too, and the Raiders. Okay, yeah, yeah.

695
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 3: You know, I just look at this and like that doesn't.

696
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 3: I don't care how you won the game. You won

697
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 3: the game.

698
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: See, I care how you won the game for these things,

699
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, like the Saints going in and just killings.

700
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying here is I don't care if

701
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 3: your defense won you the game.

702
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: Oh, as you were saying, Okay, your defense still one

703
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: years the team, part of the team, it's it's it's

704
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: the whole.

705
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 3: Oh boy, that defense is kind of scary to play against.

706
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: Or hey, you've a great kicker or dangerous return or whatever. Yeah,

707
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: part of football. Yes, I mean, so again, I don't know.

708
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: At nine, the Seahawks holding steady, that's fine. I think

709
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: they're better than any team you've mentioned.

710
00:35:54,920 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 3: At eight down three spots, the Cowboys, Yeah, I mean,

711
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 3: it's not worry. They beat worse than the Steelers, didn't.

712
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: They Yeah, they certainly did by the same opponent. And

713
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: I can't harp on enough. I mean, before the Niners game,

714
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 1: they played the easy schedule in the league.

715
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 3: At seven up, five spots, Jacksonville.

716
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: I guess that's sort of by default. Jags versus Seattle.

717
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: Who do you like there?

718
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 3: Where's the game being played?

719
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a tie.

720
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Although Jacksonville hasn't won a game at home this year,

721
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 3: not in their building, not in their building, not in Jacksonville.

722
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 3: At six down, three spots, the Bills. I think there's

723
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 3: six good teams.

724
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're playing well that are in any power rank.

725
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: Should be the top six. Buffalo with Altmlano though, that's

726
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: a big. It's a huge deal, a big. He never

727
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: leaves the field. It's like losing Cam Hayward. I mean,

728
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: it's an important important piece for how you go on.

729
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 3: They want they play Nickel constantly, and.

730
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, he makes every call, and.

731
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,319
Speaker 3: They'll no longer have Edmunds even to fall back on

732
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 3: either exactly. Now you're now you've got both of your

733
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,320
Speaker 3: your linebackers from last year gone.

734
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: They played every snap.

735
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 3: They played every snap. At five up, two spots, the Lions.

736
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: I'm a believer. I think they're in the top six,

737
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: which is a big compliment. You're one of the good teams.

738
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 3: How about Emmanuel Moseley comes back for that game and

739
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 3: then tears his a c L.

740
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,480
Speaker 1: Did he really? Yeah? I knew he got hurt. I

741
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: didn't realize it was that bad. Yeah.

742
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 2: Uh.

743
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: At four up, two spots, Miami, Yeah, I mean, they're

744
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: a nightmare. When they have the football, they're they're their

745
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: defense is okay at three down a spot, Kansas City,

746
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: I'm worried. But they have where was it first world

747
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: problems or whatever, you know, like they're not trying to

748
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: figure out how to feed the masses, They're trying how

749
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: to win the super right, win the.

750
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 3: Game in the game. You know.

751
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: Again, if it's ugly, it's ugly. Uh, Philadelphia at two up,

752
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,919
Speaker 1: two spots, I think everyone would have the Niners one,

753
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,800
Speaker 1: and yeah, I would actually draw a line after the Niners.

754
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: But I think the Eagles are clearly too. I'm glad

755
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: you've gotten on board with what I've been saying since

756
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 1: week one, like about the nine every week.

757
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 3: Then we did this, I'm like, no, the Niners are

758
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,720
Speaker 3: number one. That's the best team I've seen. Like they're there.

759
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: When the Bills beat the Dolphins, I thought they were

760
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: right there for number one. The Eagles and Chiefs have

761
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: not played. Miami's defense is questionable, Yeah, very questionable. Yeah,

762
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: and now the Bills defense might be quest.

763
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 3: Now the Bills defense might be some of some of

764
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 3: these teams at the top are starting to have some

765
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 3: some attrition is starting to set in.

766
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I also think the Eagles, Chiefs, and definitely

767
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: the Bengals could be really good. It might not have

768
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 1: played their best football. Well, I think that's what it

769
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: has to be the case for the Bengals. Yeah, right,

770
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: if they haven't played their best football, you have goodness.

771
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles have not played their best football.

772
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: I don't think they have either, and they haven't got

773
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: beat yeah, which is a little frightening.

774
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 3: But I mean, you know, so again, you have the

775
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 3: Steelers all the way down.

776
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: It's twenty twenty right.

777
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 3: Behind the Jets that I disagree with. Behind the Jets.

778
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, the Jets are not good.

779
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 3: The Packers looked awful last night.

780
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: They haven't looked good for a while. Yeah, I mean,

781
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: I yeah, we can talk about Love all you want,

782
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 1: but since like twenty twelve, every first round pick's been

783
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 1: on defense except Jordan Love. Yeah. Their defense is below average.

784
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 3: It's not good. It's not a great defense. Yeah.

785
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: Like you wonder if they had an owner. They don't

786
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: of course, Yeah, and he watched they the family whoever

787
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: watches You use a first round pick after first round

788
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: pick on defense might come down to the head coaches

789
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,359
Speaker 1: up room and say we have to have a top

790
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: five defense. Why we doing this.

791
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 3: Every Well, I mean they do have a team president

792
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 3: who makes those kinds.

793
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: Of I get it, and Mark Murphy does that. But

794
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: it's a weird organization.

795
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 3: It is a different organ built differently. I don't know

796
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 3: if I can have a Land or Indianapolis ahead of

797
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 3: the Steelers right now. Either agreed, like are we oh

798
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 3: Desmond Ritterry.

799
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: No, he had a good game on They get a

800
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 1: good game throwing one on ones the good receivers.

801
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:30,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. And Gardner Minshew now starting for the Colts, doesn't

802
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 3: do any like.

803
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: Oh, I'll take the Steelers in a one hundred and

804
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: eleven game series against those guys. Yeah. Yeah, I mean

805
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: it's a good year for him. I think they found

806
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: a coach.

807
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,959
Speaker 3: I don't think the Steelers are playing great right now.

808
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: No, but none of those other teams who.

809
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 3: You beat should have a little bit of a factor. Well,

810
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, I'm looking at the Colts and Okay,

811
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 3: they got a win against the Ravens, but there are

812
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: other two wins against two bottom you know, two teams.

813
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,959
Speaker 3: The Jets have n't after beating Buffalo in Week one

814
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 3: and losing their quarterback in Week one, I don't think.

815
00:41:07,920 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah they did without Rogers. Week one, they beat they

816
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: beat them in overtime. Oh yeah, okay, but they're one

817
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 3: and three since then, yeah yeah, and then not look good.

818
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 3: This conversation to me, is less about the Steelers than

819
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 3: all these four or five teams we mentioned.

820
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, they all have major problems too. Oh everybody does.

821
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: That's the whole thing here. Like Atlanta doesn't have a

822
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: good quarterback.

823
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 3: That's that's kind of kind of my point here, Like

824
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 3: I'll take the Steelers d over Atlanta. Yeah, shouldn't some

825
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 3: of that matter? I get putting moving the Bengals up

826
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 3: ahead them, The Bengals at a great week. The Bengals

827
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 3: have Joe Burrow, maybe he's better.

828
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, but Bengals i'd have over them, Saints out over

829
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: yeah yeah right, But the other ones, some of these

830
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: other teams I don't trust. No, I don't trust these teams. No,

831
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: I don't trust the Colts.

832
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 3: Like I don't. You know again, I know that Mike

833
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: Thomlins quins to will this team to some wins here,

834
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 3: Like you can say all you want, well, they're just

835
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 3: willing to nine and eight. They probably won the if

836
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 3: they have somebody else on the size. I don't pick

837
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 3: a different coach in that game. I don't know as

838
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 3: they win that one right, right, And it's more than

839
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 3: willing that. It's knowing how to win, it's knowing how. Hey, look,

840
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,880
Speaker 3: we got to stay in this. We gotta guys, we

841
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 3: got to keep fighting here. We can't just do something

842
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 3: stupid here, like hey, let's throw a bomb here and

843
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 3: it gets intercepted. No, you stay, keep stay in the game.

844
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 3: I mean keep yourself in it. Say we won about

845
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,319
Speaker 3: nine and eight. You told the Colts ownership and you

846
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: know you could be nine to eight in your first

847
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 3: year as a head coach. You should take that all

848
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 3: day long, all day. That's a massively successful season for

849
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 3: that organization. Yeah, so bad they were last year. I do.

Speaker 3: Deshaun Watson remains day to day with a rotator cuff contusion.

869
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,839
Speaker 1: That was a really weird week leading into their by

870
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: like they were just a little bit dirty pool.

871
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 3: A little bit.

872
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: They were not disclosing how bad that was. I don't

873
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: think they ever thought he could go. And then if

874
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: you watch the pregame warmups of their last game when

875
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: dtr played, like every time he threw the ball.

876
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 3: Looks like Uncle Rico throwing the ball.

877
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and his face should WinCE like he had no

878
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 1: shot from the start none, and that might be a

879
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: lot worse than people think.

880
00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 3: Apparently it is. He did not practice Monday, but did

881
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 3: do some throwing, according to Tom Pealasaro, but his status

882
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 3: for Week six remains to be determined against against the Niners.

883
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

884
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 3: Imagine if they start the kid against the Niners.

885
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: If he looks anything like he did against Baltimore.

886
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that could be really bad, really bad. Uh No,

887
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,479
Speaker 3: I don't think so either. Travis Kelsey feeling a little

888
00:44:57,520 --> 00:44:59,959
Speaker 3: bit better. He practiced Tuesday in a limited could pass

889
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,319
Speaker 3: city they play Thursday.

890
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm still worried about home. He's when he left the field,

891
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,439
Speaker 1: it's like, oh no, that might be season ending.

892
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Austin Ekelar was back for the Chargers. It's about

893
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 3: time they need that one.

894
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: Ye.

895
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah. The Rams traded Van Jefferson to the Falcons along

896
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 3: with a twenty twenty five seventh round draft pick for

897
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 3: a twenty twenty five sixth round draft picks, a giveaway

898
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 3: one of the Claypole swaps. Yeah, but I mean they

899
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 3: have three receivers well ahead of Jefferson now on the

900
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 3: depth chart. It makes some sense. I think he's a

901
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 3: free agent after the year he is he might play

902
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 3: for Atlanta. He's different than what they have. Devin A

903
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 3: Chain is expected to miss Devin Chan. I'll keep you, yeah,

904
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 3: miss multiple weeks. I'm hearing two maybe three on.

905
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 1: That one'll everything will tell us if they don't don't

906
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: put him on the eye, which they haven't, so three

907
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: probably Max.

908
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 3: I probably bet they don't.

909
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: I bet they don't. Yeah, it seems like it probably

910
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: would have happened by now.

911
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones said Tuesday he's feeling better after suffering a

912
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 3: neck injury in Week five and that the goal was

913
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 3: to play in Week six against the Bills. He said,

914
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 3: I'm going to do everything I can to be out

915
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:09,760
Speaker 3: there because apparently he wants to break his neck this time.

916
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: Well, our buddy Raoul texted us, tweeted us, and I'm

917
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: sure he's listening. The Giants are on pace for giving

918
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: up one hundred and two sacks.

919
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 3: This year, one hundred and two a record.

920
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jones has felt every one of them so

921
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: far awful. And that doesn't even count the times he's

922
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 1: run with the ball and like he's taking a running

923
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: back beating here him and how are taking except he's

924
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,879
Speaker 1: getting paid to do it. The running backs don't get

925
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: paid like he does. It's a little different. It might

926
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: not be the best investment to pay him to get

927
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:40,239
Speaker 1: beat up either.
