Speaker 2: those hard decisions. And now let's get your flex ond

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: here's Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.

10
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 4: A double dose in Week two. Things wrap up with

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 4: Monday Night football.

12
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: Welcome in. He is Mike Harmon.

13
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 4: Get him at Swollen Dome on x You can find

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 4: me at Dan Fire on Fox and find Ian Roddy

15
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 4: at Ian Roddy Underscore.

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Let's dive into it, and.

17
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 4: I guess first things first, when we talk about how

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,639
Speaker 4: Week two ended Monday night football schedule double header, it's

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 4: the only double header we're going to get this year.

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 4: There will be nights where we get two games on

21
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 4: Monday night, but a true doubleheader. I know that the

22
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 4: eastern part of the country hates it, and that's out

23
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 4: here on the West Coast love it. But this is

24
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: just a one time deal for this season. Mike, you

25
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 4: four or against what we got in week two with

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 4: this schedule.

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 5: So long as I'm on air during the games, I'm

28
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 5: good with it. Dan, Right, listen to a little of

29
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 5: the radio broadcast on the drive up to the studios,

30
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 5: get to watch the full second half plus, and then

31
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 5: get ready for a night cap.

32
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in.

33
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: Let's go.

34
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 4: I'm game two. I can understand why some people may

35
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 4: not be keen to it, or if someone's watching the

36
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 4: Chargers and Raiders and are saying, listen, I've given up

37
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 4: my Sunday night. I've given up my Thursday night. Now

38
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 4: I got to do this again on Monday night. But

39
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 4: small sacrifice to pay when you're sitting there in mid

40
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 4: May and there's no football to deal with.

41
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm a fan of it as well. I don't like

42
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: the staggerd start Ian.

43
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 4: I don't know if you're a fan of it or not,

44
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: but it was I like this setup we miss I'm

45
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 4: driving home, Mike, you're driving into work, so I'm missing

46
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 4: like the first part of the Buccaneers and Texans game

47
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: listening to it on the radio. I guess I have

48
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: a biased point of view because I'm like, well, I'm

49
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 4: only missing the first part.

50
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: I get to see the end.

51
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 4: Maybe that's what bothers East Coast people so much, But

52
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: I like this one better than the one that starts

53
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 4: at four fifteen and then another game at five point

54
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 4: forty five.

55
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 6: More football than never a bad thing, And I feel

56
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 6: like one of these games, whichever one, wouldn't have been

57
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 6: on Monday night otherwise had it not been a doubleheader,

58
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 6: it just you know, gets lost in the fold on Sunday.

59
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 6: So it's actually nice to have another game that you're

60
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 6: fully plugged into.

61
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 4: I'm also fully aware that I just set a time

62
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 4: that the Central and Eastern time zones just like it

63
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: blew their mind, you know, to have a game at

64
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 4: like at five, what are you talking about?

65
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: Sure, four fifteen, Like that's what.

66
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 4: About six fifteen, seven fifteen, seven thirty eight o'clock because

67
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 4: those are the times that it is out there.

68
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, I didn't I didn't mind it.

69
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 4: But I guess in a way too, if I'm sitting

70
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: there watching the Chargers, you know, run another clock against

71
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 4: the Raiders, and it's twelve thirty at night and I

72
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 4: got work the next day, maybe it's not the greatest thing,

73
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: but I much rather have this than miss action and

74
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: try to toggle back and forth between the two games,

75
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: like we're gonna get later on in the season.

76
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got a couple more times over the course

77
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 5: of the season. And it's the one off, as you say,

78
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 5: And like on the West Coast, we miss a lot

79
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 5: of the early parts of games. Like people laugh all

80
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 5: the time West Coast games where there's a late arriving crowd.

81
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 5: It's not just because it's la it's like because you're

82
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 5: sitting in traffic as people are leaving from work who

83
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 5: have no care in the world about the game about

84
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 5: to be played. Right, and East Coast you get it

85
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 5: in your nice primetime window. So you know, oftentimes the

86
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 5: West Coast gets pushed to the side now games that

87
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 5: are later, I get it. You know, you may be

88
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 5: a little groggy at work, you know, But as Kevin

89
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: Durant once taught us, you don't like it.

90
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 3: Don't watch.

91
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: That's absolutely right. I don't know if the Raiders liked

92
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: what they.

93
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: Saw, Oh no, no, they did not for it.

94
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: We totally moved to that.

95
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: I do want to say, Week four is the next

96
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 4: time we get a double Monday night, weekend or night

97
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 4: if you will, Jets Dolphins Ian.

98
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: So your Jets seven to fifteen Eastern, four to fifteen Pacific.

99
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then you got Bengals Broncos now with a

100
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow less Bengals team at eight fifteen Eastern time,

101
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 4: five to fifteen Pacific. So we have Lions Ravens by

102
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: themselves next week, and then the week after is another

103
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: double dip, but not the true double header anyway, gets you. Yeah,

104
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 4: speaking of the of bad football, tough one for the

105
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 4: Raiders turning it over. But it's the rookie running backs

106
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 4: that are standing out to me, not in a good

107
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: way in that game. It's that's the that's my takeaway.

108
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 4: I thought Ashton Genty had to carry in the first

109
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 4: quarter and like all right, here we go, and there

110
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 4: was just no more of that Omarion Hampton a fumble

111
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 4: so far the rookies that we had such high hopes

112
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 4: for getting off to a kind of slow start in

113
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 4: this fantasy season.

114
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean we had the botch hand off attempt

115
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 5: between Herbert and Hampton late to try to seal things,

116
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 5: which at least opened the door for a minute until

117
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 5: Gino sailed one on a fourth down play fifteen yards

118
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 5: out of bouts. Like we actually joked on airic Jason Smith,

119
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 5: and I it's like it was he making a business

120
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 5: decision that he didn't want a four in the interception

121
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 5: col almost like what the hell? Just absolutely insane, but

122
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 5: certainly that the concerns echoed, Like we were talking about

123
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,559
Speaker 5: it a little before we got together here to start

124
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 5: recording Dan of you know, people pressing the panic button

125
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: of putting guys like Hampton or genty up in the

126
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 5: trade market based on early returns like okay for the

127
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 5: Chargers a bunch of stuff in the off season, right,

128
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 5: and then you lose Slater, you bring in Hampton, you

129
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 5: had to shuffle your offensive line. Najie Harris was brought

130
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 5: in to be that guy. He has the eye injury

131
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 5: off of the fourth of July, so you know he

132
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 5: was still at least early on going to be a factor.

133
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 5: So with Hampton, I'd take a little with a grain

134
00:05:59,600 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: of assault.

135
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 3: And certainly the fumbles not good.

136
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 5: And if Justin Herbert's the guy I think he is,

137
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: he's probably gonna put him on himself for not giving

138
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 5: him that. And let's face it, they didn't do anything

139
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 5: to stop Max Crosby. Like I likened it too. I

140
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 5: just went and saw the fiftieth anniversary of Jaws on

141
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 5: the giant screen. There's that scene where Richard Dreyfuss is

142
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 5: in the shark cage and he's looking around, where did

143
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 5: it go? It's all murky, and then he turns like,

144
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 5: oh damn it, there's the shark that was Max Crosby

145
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 5: ready to hammer him as he turned. If you put

146
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 5: the ball away, his eyes got wide and he put

147
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 5: it on the carpet. For Ascia Jenty, we got a

148
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 5: little bit of a question of how much he really

149
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 5: wants anything if he doesn't have a full head of

150
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 5: steam going three catches or yeah, three catches for one yard,

151
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 5: not nothing after the after contact, after the catch, and

152
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 5: then on passing downs, looks very uncomfortable to where he's

153
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 5: off the field a bunch. And then he had that

154
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 5: one run, cool spin move, great highlight, but that was it.

155
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 5: Otherwise he was contained. Now you take it with a

156
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 5: grain of salt, I guess to the idea of the

157
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: Chargers defense, we anticipate that they're going to be good,

158
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 5: but yeah, I'm a big concern because I didn't like

159
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 5: that offensive line coming into the year, and they did

160
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 5: nothing to allay any of those fears today.

161
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 4: I'll tell you the Texans, we had fears because there

162
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 4: was no Joe Mixon, but Nick Chubb getting a late

163
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 4: run for the Texans, and then it's Rashad White cashing

164
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: in when the Buccaneers needed the most. Bucky Irving's great

165
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: like he is, but I was just a bit surprised

166
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 4: at how the second fiddle guys like the Chubb, like

167
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 4: the Rashad White had such a role in modern nights game.

168
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

169
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 5: Nick Chubb basically did the I'm falling forward, He's like

170
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 5: six to one right, six feet yeah, so like two

171
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 5: yards of carry until that scamper after the big punt

172
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 5: return where that flag mysteriously got picked up. But that's

173
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 5: for another time. We could talk about penalties across the

174
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 5: league from the larger football standpoint, but yeah, Houston has

175
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,119
Speaker 5: the early success with the ten points in the first quarter,

176
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 5: and then the off goes dormant for the most part

177
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 5: for the Tampa side. I wonder if for Sean White

178
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 5: didn't get a little bit of a that a boy

179
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 5: for picking up that Baker Mayfield fumble where he hits

180
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 5: it with his off hand and you play a little

181
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 5: bit of sledgehammer late. Yeah, good to see him hang

182
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 5: out of the ball ten for sixty five in a

183
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 5: touchdown look Bucky Irving. Fantasy owners got their love because

184
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 5: they did a brilliant checkdown. Check down. We talked about it,

185
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield brilliant in terms of not pushing it right.

186
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 5: If you're gonna give me the underneath with Bucky Irving

187
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 5: and then these guys are going to do a half

188
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 5: ass arm tackle like the guy's too strong for what

189
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 5: they were trying to do, and putting the linebackers one

190
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 5: on one in coverage gave him great opportunity. I'll take

191
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 5: a guy with twenty three touches for one hundred and

192
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 5: twenty one yards. Yeah, I didn't find the end zone,

193
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 5: but you know they if he's going to be that

194
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 5: active in the pass game, then you certainly have something there.

195
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 4: I thought it was interesting just White's number of carries

196
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 4: because they even showed the graphic on the broadcast of

197
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 4: just the increase in runs that the Buccaneers had from

198
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three to twenty twenty four when they were

199
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 4: the team, you know, a bottom part of the NFL

200
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 4: in rushing attempts, and two years ago then they were

201
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 4: up the fourth last year, if this is the type

202
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 4: of football that you want to play, and I know

203
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 4: that Chris Godwin's making his way back, I don't know

204
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 4: on what sort of role Chris Godwin's going to have

205
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 4: to really if that would really change how Tampa would

206
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 4: play anyway, But I just was starting to wonder, like

207
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 4: for a team that probably does have bigger aspirations than

208
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 4: maybe just coming out on top of the NFC South,

209
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: that this two running back committee could be a role

210
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 4: with Tampa. And I don't think it's going to come

211
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 4: into Bucky Irving's numbers, but I just feel that maybe

212
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 4: if Rashad White plays this sort of way, that he

213
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 4: could find a role in fantasy lineups, because I thought

214
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: he was a big factor on Monday Night, and I

215
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 4: felt like, if now, if you're Tampa and you're looking at.

216
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: How you want to have your run game, that could

217
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: be a viable option down the line.

218
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 5: Yeah, certainly he'll be one of the waiver wire guys

219
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 5: that people will be adding off of a big workload.

220
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 5: How much of it is a scheme against this particular defense.

221
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 5: Right when we talk about the pass rushers, we talk

222
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 5: about how good their secondary is, So maybe the idea

223
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,599
Speaker 5: is a sledgehammer approach. Thirty carries overall one hundred and

224
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 5: sixty nine yards. Now thirty three of that is the

225
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield scrambles. But twice he came up where I

226
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 5: thought maybe he'd ripped his knees. So I was getting

227
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 5: a little nervous right as he had one where he

228
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 5: caught in the cleaton. The other did the somersault, and

229
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 5: then he met ran into his old buddy Chauncey as

230
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 5: he called him in the postgame. Good old CJ. Gardner

231
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 5: Johnson getting after it. Always good for a good trash

232
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 5: talking session. But maybe maybe a little bit of a

233
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 5: different yo yo string after Baker Mayfield got his last

234
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 5: two coordinators head coaching jobs, that maybe you go right

235
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 5: to balance a bit.

236
00:10:58,720 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: CJ.

237
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 4: Strob didn't get Bobby Slowick fired, but it sure didn't

238
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: help with the season that he had last year.

239
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: And we didn't put it all on CJ.

240
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 4: Stroud's shoulders, like you talked about the Texans offensive line

241
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 4: or lackdaro of last year, and it was a big

242
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 4: concern coming into this year. But now if you have

243
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 4: shares a Nico Collins and you see a game like tonight,

244
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 4: great catch that he makes to get the touchdown, But

245
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 4: my goodness, if he doesn't have the touchdown, what an

246
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 4: awful start.

247
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: To the season that you've got in Houston.

248
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 4: I'm not panicking yet, but I'm starting to get a

249
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: little bit worried for a team that we didn't have

250
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 4: extreme high expectations for. Rams are a good defense. I

251
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 4: think the Buccaneers are a good defense. You've got Jacksonville

252
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 4: next week. If it doesn't happen in week three for

253
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 4: the Texans, I'm then I'm hitting the panic.

254
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you sound the alarms, right. You just

255
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 5: go through that receiving core. What else do you got?

256
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 5: I mean, Dalton Schultz is solid, but what's he a

257
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 5: high two? From a fantasy and weekly production kind of standpoint,

258
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 5: you don't have a discernible number two right now. In

259
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 5: terms of your pass catchers. You're looking at Hutchinson and

260
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 5: Higgins wishing and hoping and neither of their you know,

261
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 5: plays were just out of the Hey sequence and fire

262
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 5: them up. The past to Higgins was improvisational by Stroud

263
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 5: of Hey, turn back to me.

264
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 3: I've got it.

265
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 5: Maybe a shot down field, but you popped open so here. Yeah,

266
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 5: without a number two. I mean, you're gonna have bracket

267
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 5: coverage and problems. I mean, and again, if Chubb's not

268
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 5: gonna be able to and Woody marks for what he's used,

269
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 5: You're not going to be able to establish the run game.

270
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 5: You're you're not gonna be able to suck up the

271
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 5: linebackers creating space for.

272
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 3: For Stroud to operate.

273
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, I'm already probably what defcon won's the worst.

274
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 5: I'm probably at least inching towards two already.

275
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: Well, you know, in last year when Stefan Diggs was

276
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 4: there as a free agent, it was like he and

277
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 4: Diggs works. I remember I shares in tank Dell, and

278
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 4: Dell was not the guy anymore because Diggs was and

279
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 4: Nico Collins was still getting his Like you're like, wow,

280
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 4: look out for Houston. Now they used to second round

281
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 4: pick on Jayden Higgins. He gets one target for one

282
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 4: you know catch CJ. Stroud's throwing more to Dalton Schultz

283
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: than anybody not named Nico Collins.

284
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: So there's, yeah, there's there's concern.

285
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: Even if this Buccaneers defense is maybe better and I

286
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 4: get a Tampa the ball for like thirty eight minutes.

287
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 4: Sure on Monday night, So there's there's only so much

288
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 4: you can do. But when they did have the football,

289
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 4: it wasn't wasn't that impressive. And now when you're sitting there,

290
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 4: taking Nico Collins maybe back in first round, early second

291
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 4: round in a PPR league, Yeah, this is not the

292
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 4: start you wanted to start the year.

293
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I have some shares at old Nico there.

294
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, would you guys consider trading Nico right now?

295
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 6: Because he just came off this game where he did

296
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 6: get that you know, crucial touchdown, like you said, Dan,

297
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 6: no guarantee he gets it every week. Now might be

298
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,559
Speaker 6: the time to sell high, right.

299
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 5: I don't know how high it is though, Yeah, Like

300
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 5: that's the only question is you know what would be

301
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 5: commensurate value if you put him in the marketplace, Like

302
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 5: we were talking about with the running backs right after

303
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 5: two weeks. Well, nervous maybe about both guys, But like

304
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 5: with Collins, if nothing else, we know he's going to

305
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 5: get a bunch of targets. Whether that translates to big games.

306
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 3: I don't know.

307
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 5: Because he got targeted a couple times in the end

308
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 5: zone there's no space so because there's just way too

309
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 5: much coverage.

310
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 6: So with a player like that. There isn't really a

311
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 6: full on panic mode unless we're like, you know, mid

312
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 6: season and he still looks relatively average.

313
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what it is.

314
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 4: Ian, And I know you're younger, but it's like you're

315
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 4: locked into a low interest rate on a house and

316
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 4: interest rates are just way too high. Sure, so you're like,

317
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 4: I can't do anything right now because I'm not gonna

318
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 4: be able to get what I actually want for you know,

319
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 4: something else, or so if you trade Nico Collins right now,

320
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 4: no one's going to give you anything for it.

321
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

322
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying.

323
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 6: I see what you're saying. The fact that he had

324
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 6: a touchdown tonight makes it more because he did have

325
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 6: what fifteen Fantasy points, fourteen points something. It's not like

326
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 6: he just had done of a game. It's like next week,

327
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 6: Yeah you got your fourteen plus. Yeah I no, So,

328
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 6: I mean, you got your points, and I get it

329
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 6: to your point. But what are you trading him out for?

330
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: Yeah? And like that that.

331
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 5: You're getting back, right, because what are you gonna get

332
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 5: a number two running back somewhere?

333
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: You're not getting a Bell cow right.

334
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 4: That touchdown is, by the way, is just cologne. Over

335
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 4: bo because it's three catches for fifty two yards the

336
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 4: touchdown save the day. Right, he doesn't have that touchdown,

337
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 4: you're looking at a two catch performance.

338
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the beauty of it is you were

339
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 5: able to pocket that one early, right, So now you're

340
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 5: just hoping for a massive day. But I look at it,

341
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 5: nine targets. Who the hell else is he throwing the

342
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 5: ball to?

343
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 3: Right?

344
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 5: And that means you may have some feast or famine games.

345
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 5: But I don't think that's unlike some of the other

346
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 5: guys where we've been talking about that we have the

347
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 5: expectations for now. Maybe with the Giants, things change. If

348
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 5: Russ is going to be winging the ball around, you're

349
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,359
Speaker 5: also not going to play a Beleague or Dallas Secondary

350
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 5: every week. Our guy Brian Thomas, he's struggling now, he's hurt.

351
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 5: But in Jacksonville, like that was what we said last year, right,

352
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 5: It's like, all right, he got his numbers with nobody

353
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 5: around him, because who the hell else are they gonna

354
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 5: throw it to.

355
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 6: Well, he's an example of someone who you're kind of

356
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 6: screwed now, is because he doesn't have a game that

357
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 6: you can point to and be like, look, still like

358
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 6: this is in his range of out with Nico.

359
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 3: There is that, but you are saying.

360
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 5: But I mean for both, you can sell on what

361
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 5: they've done in the past. Sure, and hope people aren't

362
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 5: paying attention to the receiving course around you.

363
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's and here's the thing. And this is this

364
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: is why.

365
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 4: I love Ian on this podcast because he says was

366
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 4: what he feels. Even if Mike.

367
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: Disagrees or I disagree, I would just say to Ian,

368
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: what's the difference between Brian Thomas is four for forty

369
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: nine that Nico Collins is three for fifty two. Well,

370
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: it's the touchdown. It's the one touchdown right which the

371
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: Texans have scored won this season, And so like, that's

372
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: my that's my like worry some portion of it of.

373
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 4: They didn't score a touchdown against the Rams. They now

374
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 4: are pretty much styied and couldn't control the ball against

375
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 4: the Buccaneers.

376
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: To Mike's point, there's no running game that teams are

377
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,120
Speaker 1: going to be able to.

378
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 4: Focus on, or are running game that the Texas could

379
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 4: even have to hold onto the ball.

380
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: For thirty minutes in a game. So that's where I'm

381
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,239
Speaker 1: starting to just worry about the Texans, and I think

382
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers are good. But two games in against two.

383
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 4: Solid opponents, I just we're not hitting a panic button yet.

384
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: We're just a little worried.

385
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 4: If things are like this next week against Jacksonville, then

386
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 4: I think that we've got concern.

387
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 5: But I do love the question right at week two,

388
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 5: because let's face it, it's also very different league to

389
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 5: league in terms of what you think you can actually

390
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 5: get done in the trade market.

391
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 3: Right.

392
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 5: Generally, I've been in leagues where it's a lot of

393
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 5: folks who make one hundred percent of their living doing

394
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 5: nothing but fantasy talk. So the last thing they're going

395
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 5: to do is make a trade that potentially makes them

396
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 5: look foolish. Sure, or they just give you a barrage

397
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 5: of offers just so you'll say yes, so you'll say.

398
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 3: Lead me the blank alone, yes.

399
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 5: And so that's generally how it goes. So there's not

400
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 5: usually a lot of trading. Usually it's the draft, it's

401
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 5: waiver wire plays, and that's really most of the leagues

402
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 5: I've participated in. But for those that do have a

403
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 5: more active league and folks are willing to take a shot, Yeah,

404
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 5: it's always that curious spot of where have you seen

405
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 5: enough in the continuum of an NFL season, right, because

406
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 5: we don't get a massive run up. We got seventeen games, right,

407
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 5: six seventeen well, eighteen weeks, seventeen games, and you've got

408
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 5: to try to decide where your line is the saying

409
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 5: have you seen enough? And based on the way the

410
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 5: schedule makers do things to your point, Dan, I mean,

411
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 5: look at what some of these schedules have been right

412
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 5: off the jump, right, the Chiefs, everybody's panicking, Well, you

413
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 5: played two really good defensive squads. I'm not saying they're good,

414
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 5: and Patrick Mahomes certainly left a lot of points on

415
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 5: the board, not being able to connect downfield errant deep balls,

416
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 5: Travis Kelce whatever the hell he's doing in the red

417
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 5: zone back to back weeks and so on. But like

418
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 5: the schedule makers in playing some of these games, like

419
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 5: you're looking at the well, they've got the two of

420
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 5: the games right off the jump, I mean, look at

421
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 5: look at the Chargers, right, so they play the Raiders today,

422
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 5: they go right back to Denver. Well, Denver after two weeks,

423
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 5: are any anywhere near the team defensively that you thought

424
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 5: they were going to be coming in?

425
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 3: Well?

426
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, that's that's all the questions that we have.

427
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 5: You know, is that enough of a sample.

428
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: Size can Justin Herbert be Danny Dimes or as I

429
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: saw on Sunday, Indiana.

430
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 3: Jones actually done.

431
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: I saw that that was starting in a game gain

432
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 4: some traction as well. All Right, we got to take

433
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 4: a time out. The I Want Your Flex podcast is here.

434
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 4: It Mike I bat Swollen Dome. You can find me

435
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 4: at Dan Byer on Fox and get Ian at Ian

436
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 4: Roddy Underscore. We're gonna stand take a hit on what

437
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 4: stood out from us from the other games in Week

438
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 4: two from the full.

439
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: Slate of Sunday.

440
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 4: Plus at the end of the show, Mike's got some

441
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 4: waiver wire pickups that you're gonna need to and trust me,

442
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 4: this week you're gonna need to, especially at the quarterback

443
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 4: position that's next here.

444
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: And I Want your Flex, as we always talk about

445
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: here out I Want your Flex.

446
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 4: We love to break down on how the schedules sort out,

447
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 4: and Mike during my Red Zone show that I have

448
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 4: on Sunday with Carrie, we had one more game in

449
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 4: our late window than Monday Night had, So Monday Night

450
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 4: of two games, we had three on Sunday Chiefs Eagles

451
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 4: was a standout, but we touched on Broncos Colts just

452
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 4: kind of there at the end and having some fun

453
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 4: with Daniel Jones and what the Colts are doing.

454
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: But man, they are doing it.

455
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,159
Speaker 4: And right now we just got off talking about Houston,

456
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 4: or just got done talking about Houston.

457
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: They're zero and two to start the season. We thought

458
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: they were going.

459
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 4: To be maybe the team to beat in the AFC South,

460
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 4: and here the Colts are two and zero putting up

461
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 4: crazy fantasy numbers.

462
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is running wild.

463
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 4: That's what stood out to me against to your point,

464
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 4: at Denver defense that we expected a lot more of,

465
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 4: and Indy was able to get it done in controversial fashion.

466
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 4: But even if they don't get that late penalty and

467
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 4: kick the field goal, We're still looking at Daniel Jones

468
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 4: and Jonathan Taylor as success stories.

469
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: In fantasy, no question about it.

470
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 5: And you know in Chicago they would love a tight

471
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 5: end that would have been drafted this year that actually

472
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 5: contributes to the box score. But I'll save by Ryan

473
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 5: Holds Skewering for another time. No look coming into the

474
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 5: year on our board out in the producer's studio, I

475
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 5: thought the Colts would win the AFC South. I'm all

476
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 5: in on Danny Danny Dimes, Indiana Jones, whatever we're going

477
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 5: to call him this week, a nickname not yet found

478
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 5: to be able to lead things going back to his

479
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 5: time with the Giants, sixty eight percent completion rate, three

480
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 5: touchdowns per pick. Now, injury issues and fumbling issues certainly

481
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 5: were there. But while you don't have a true number

482
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 5: one wide receiver, as long as Jonathan Taylor's healthy, I

483
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 5: think I can get some balance in my offense. What

484
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 5: they've done through two weeks is really outstanding, no question

485
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 5: about it.

486
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 3: And you know.

487
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 5: The sustainability of twenty five or more points per game

488
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 5: certainly a question.

489
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 3: But I like what I've seen those far. I mean Stike,

490
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: and we've been waiting to see the genius actually be

491
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 3: genius Dan and it's finally starting to pay off a

492
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 3: little bit.

493
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, they go to Tennessee in week three for a

494
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 4: divisional showdown, first road test for the Colts, and why

495
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 4: the pass catchers may not have been putting up the

496
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 4: big numbers that you would hope with like a Michael

497
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 4: Pittman Jr.

498
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 1: To your point about Tyler Warren.

499
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 4: I mean, the only bad thing that really happened to

500
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 4: the Colts on Sunday was that they ran him in

501
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 4: a fourth and short situation instead of giving the ball

502
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 4: to Jonathan Taylor or having Daniel Jones taken himself.

503
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: But he's been active.

504
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 4: Seven targets, four catches for seventy nine yards, their leading

505
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 4: receiver in that contest.

506
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: So it's been all good with the horseshoe. That's what

507
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: stood out for me in Week two? What stood up

508
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,199
Speaker 1: for you? What game? What matchup? What players?

509
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 5: Mike Well, I think as we look around the board, right,

510
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 5: you're trying to find the diamond in the rough and

511
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 5: the quarterback position certainly one. We're talking about a lot

512
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 5: with the injuries that came out of it, but we

513
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 5: already had to look at San Francisco with Alabama Max

514
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 5: he we're just gonna give everybody nicknames. Now with Mac

515
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 5: Jones taken over for what is already a beleaguered forty

516
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 5: nine er squad, Now you end up getting a five

517
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 5: for eighty nine on a score from Juwan Jennings. If

518
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 5: you had the guts to play him, you got rewarded.

519
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 3: We saw Christian.

520
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: Mccaffrez, Yeah right, I mean too.

521
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, So there were questions of his availability. Certainly

522
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,679
Speaker 5: Kittle being gone for me had I had questions. Not

523
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 5: only would they'd be able to do passing, but he's

524
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 5: so instrumental of what they want to do running the football,

525
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 5: So how much would that bog it down?

526
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: Now?

527
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,360
Speaker 3: I know it's the Saints, but they were pretty plucky.

528
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 3: Spencer Rattler did not go away.

529
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 5: I learned a lot about and they had a great

530
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 5: respect for him because he just kept coming right. They

531
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 5: could have folded up at any point, but they they

532
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: played them pretty evenly over the course of this game.

533
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 5: As Shaheed one of our favorites, Juwan Johnson, whatever. But

534
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 5: for the forty nine ers, Mac Jones two sevent nine

535
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 5: and three, Christian McCaffrey with another nineteen touch game, goes

536
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 5: over one hundred yards, has the receiving touchdown, and I

537
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 5: felt and breathed a little easier at least for the

538
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 5: moment of mac Jones being the guy to guide this

539
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 5: because certainly, if you were a Christian McCaffrey owner, with

540
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 5: all of the wounded warriors around you, you're going, oh boy,

541
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 5: here we go. And at least for a week you

542
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 5: staved that off is it long term successful? I don't know,

543
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 5: but we've seen Shanahan have success which led us to

544
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 5: the brock Olypse.

545
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: Anyway, yeah, per right.

546
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 4: I hited the level with Ricky Piersall, but because of

547
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 4: Perty's injury, I decided to not play him. In the end,

548
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 4: it didn't matter with my game, but Pearsal did get

549
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 4: six targets at four catches for fifty six yards. I

550
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 4: think you're going to be playing that game of do

551
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 4: I play Piersall, is it Jettings or is it Pearsall

552
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 4: that gets the numbers? And depending how long how long

553
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 4: Purty is out, which we expect two to four week

554
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 4: injury or so, so it could be this Arizona game

555
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 4: as well. And then they've got a unique situation with

556
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 4: their a short week with the Rams at week five,

557
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 4: so the week four game you don't want to play him,

558
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 4: and then you're not likely going to play.

559
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: In week five. This could be a four game injury.

560
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 4: I just don't know if over the next month I'm

561
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 4: I feel good about playing a guy like Ricky Piersall

562
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 4: right now, just because I don't know if it's going

563
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 4: to be him or Jennings in this match.

564
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: If it was.

565
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,959
Speaker 4: Party I would feel a little bit better, but with

566
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 4: Mac I'm still not completely sold.

567
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 5: No, I mean certainly the history would say, all right,

568
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 5: I want to wait and see. Right, It's like we're

569
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 5: talking about jumping ship on guys who are are we

570
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 5: have proof of concept success in the past. For Mac Jones,

571
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 5: it's a long time since that early success before they

572
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 5: started mucking around with offensive coordinators and everything else there

573
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 5: in New England and the chaos. I would be miss

574
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 5: and like to do one more matchup before we grab

575
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 5: you in because we'll grab a lot of the quarterbacks.

576
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 5: I think off of the injury stuff as we as

577
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 5: we continue. But from a straight matchup perspective, that Dallas

578
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 5: Giants game was insane, like on myriad levels. When we

579
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,479
Speaker 5: talk about Javonte Williams ninety seven yards in a score

580
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 5: right being that guy again, ced Goos for nine one twelve,

581
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 5: Prescott three sixty one in two like the last five

582
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 5: minutes of that might have been some of the most

583
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 5: entertaining football I've seen in quite some time.

584
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 6: You gotta think dable Brian Dabele must I don't even

585
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 6: know if this has crossed his mind or not, but

586
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 6: with how good Daniel Jones has looked through two weeks

587
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 6: in Indy. That was really really important for Dable to

588
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,199
Speaker 6: coach a game like that where his quarterback threw for

589
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 6: you know, four hundred plus yards, because otherwise, if the

590
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 6: Giants still look like one of the worst teams in

591
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 6: the league continuously and Daniel Jones, the guy they had,

592
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 6: you know, keeps looking like potentially one of the best

593
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 6: quarterbacks in the league.

594
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 3: I mean that that's.

595
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 6: An issue for Dable. Yeah, it's It's.

596
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: A really good point.

597
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 4: And I actually just think that the ship is even

598
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 4: sailed to that point, Like even if if rushed through

599
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 4: for eight hundred yards, like I don't think that he

600
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: would still make up for that.

601
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: But I think that you're spot on.

602
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 4: And and now this is the this is the the

603
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 4: guy that you invested in allowed or forced you to

604
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,560
Speaker 4: not resign Saquon Barkley, so then he won a Super Bowl.

605
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 4: And then because you invested in him and couldn't make

606
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 4: it work, that other guy leaves and then he comes

607
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:35,879
Speaker 4: becomes the starter. Like it's just just gets your bad

608
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 4: to worse for Dable and Joe Shane. I mean, it's awful.

609
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 4: And I'll say this about the Giants here, I'm all

610
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: about Tyrone Tracy as a sleeper and Scataboo ends up

611
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 4: taking you know, playing a big role. I think players

612
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 4: feet off of him as well. I'm curious to see

613
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 4: how that plays out. Now, you got the Chiefs on

614
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 4: Sunday night, so we'll get the main look on it.

615
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 4: But Malik Neighbors and want Dale Rob's ensure seem to

616
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 4: have some value right now.

617
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 5: Well, we got to see the moon ball come back

618
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 5: into full effect and again that you hang an asterisk

619
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 5: on it, because we knew coming into the game the secondary,

620
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 5: with Bland being out and with Digs still on a

621
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 5: pitch count, that you were probably going to be able

622
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 5: to make some hay and go win some of those

623
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 5: one on one battles. Now Wandale Robinson having his eight

624
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 5: of ten for one hundred and forty two in a

625
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 5: score probably not what we had on the chart by

626
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 5: but it also becomes a all right, there's one of

627
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 5: the guys on the wire, right, He's been one of

628
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 5: the darlings in years past. You and I talking Dan

629
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 5: and just trying to figure out where where you fit

630
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 5: and where you can get a w R two or

631
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 5: three kind of scenario where a guy plays out now again,

632
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 5: it's not going to get this wild and wooly and whatever.

633
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 5: Congratulations to those Brandon Aubrey owners out there, you got

634
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 5: your your massive payoff. But for scat about coming in

635
00:29:55,280 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 5: and really giving them that juice as a runner and

636
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 5: then with a couple of catches as well, the tyrone

637
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 5: Tracy love that I had a year ago. Again, owing

638
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 5: back to the Saquon Barkley thing, it's all it's more

639
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 5: optics than reality, because how many games were you gonna

640
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 5: win if you'd kept him around? And I'll pay the

641
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 5: quarterback ninety nine and a half times out of one hundred.

642
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 5: Just where I can't have it is I have a

643
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 5: phone call to the guy begging him to call us

644
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 5: back before he signs, and then having him go in

645
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 5: division to a much better team. Yeah, so the optics

646
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 5: of it are terrible. I still think I would have

647
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 5: played it out the same way. But where you're at

648
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 5: now is all right. Russ's place holding. I was curious

649
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 5: watching the game develop where Jackson Dart kept checking back in.

650
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 5: I'm not quite sure what we were trying to see there,

651
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 5: but you know, Russ has his moonballs and unfortunately threw

652
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 5: the one that ended up costing.

653
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 4: I also think, unfortunately, that there are going to be

654
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 4: people who pick up quarterbacks because of the injuries this

655
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 4: week that are going to be disappointed.

656
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: If you pick up Russell Wilson. You got Chiefs Chargers

657
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: the next two games, yep.

658
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,040
Speaker 4: And then you get the Saints, so maybe in early

659
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 4: October that's a possibility. Then you have Eagles Broncos, so

660
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 4: that would be and wait, Eagles Broncos, Eagles the Eagles.

661
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 5: That's a great that's a great schedule for you, right there.

662
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 5: Great schedule makers, God, I love you.

663
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 4: One of which on a short week, but so but still, yeah,

664
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 4: it's completely awful.

665
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: But that's so like I.

666
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 4: Don't know of the extreme value Russell Willson is not

667
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 4: going to be throwing for four hundred and fifty yards

668
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 4: in those games, so I kind of feel like the

669
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 4: moment with him has passed as well, but kind of

670
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 4: like along the Wandale Robinson stuff.

671
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: But it's it was great to see.

672
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 4: It was an exciting game, Mike, to your point, and

673
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: it provided a lot of a lot of ups and

674
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 4: downs and George Pickens got into the end zone for Dallas.

675
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: That was a good one. On Yeah, good one on something.

676
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

677
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 5: So I mean, look, we get seventy seven points of offense.

678
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 5: I mean because in week one, I think we had

679
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 5: what three of these sixteen games actually hit the over

680
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 5: in the over undertotal, So to get one that exciting

681
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 5: and more fantasy viability. But to your point with the

682
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 5: giant schedule, Dan, if you go chasing, you know, don't

683
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 5: go chasing waterfalls. Like Michael Keaton taught us in the Other.

684
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: Guys Ian, what what game stood out to you in

685
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: week two?

686
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 6: I mean your Seahawks, Dan, the Jackson Smith and I

687
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 6: mean it's more of a player specific player, but Jackson

688
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 6: Smith and Jig. But through two weeks, Sam Donald's targeted

689
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 6: him twenty three times. It's it's just insane. It's like

690
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 6: go back to Justin Jefferson last year. Sam Donald clearly

691
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 6: knows how to pick his favorite guy. Yeah, hone in

692
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 6: on him and you know it's it's good for fantasy JSN.

693
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 6: I have him in a few places.

694
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 4: It's unfortunately a second favorite guy is someone in the

695
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 4: other uniform.

696
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: Yeah twice, No, this.

697
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 4: Is this is Sam Darnald is going all the way

698
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 4: back to college days. Yeah, and even at USC do

699
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 4: he would throw interceptions. It's kind of like you got

700
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 4: to take it. But he did make some big throws,

701
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 4: including that throw to JSN that kind of sealed the

702
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 4: deal for them and allowed them to get the touchdown. Completely,

703
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 4: trust him completely. Cooper Cup had nine targets, seven catches

704
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 4: for ninety yards in that game.

705
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, you got him a little more involved.

706
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

707
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 4: And so like it's he has his favorites and that's

708
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 4: who he's going to go to. And another knock on

709
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 4: Darnold is that he may not make it through the

710
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 4: route tree completely because he just wants to throw it

711
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: to his guys so much. And I think that you

712
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 4: can you can see more of that on the flip side.

713
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 4: You look at DK metcalf and you say six targets

714
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 4: and three catches twenty yards and that that touchdown. It's

715
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 4: it's it's just not there. It's not there anymore. Like I,

716
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 4: I just I don't believe that whatever it is with

717
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 4: DK as a as a player, He's got everything, size, speed,

718
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 4: the whole deal.

719
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: You can win jump balls, you can fly past you.

720
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 4: It's just not translating into fourteen targets, eleven catches in

721
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 4: one hundred and fifty yards and that's what's so frustrating.

722
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 4: And if you're going to be hoping for that, it's

723
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 4: not going to come in Pittsburgh, and it's not going

724
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,320
Speaker 4: to come in the form of DK Metcalf.

725
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 5: Let me ask one question, going back to our original conversation,

726
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 5: right we did in the first segment talking about wide receivers,

727
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 5: the cells, sell sheet and whatever. What do you do

728
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 5: with the two guys in Philadelphia.

729
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:38,880
Speaker 1: Well, I've never been high on AJ Brown.

730
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 4: He's I acquired him in a trade two years ago

731
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 4: and he's stunked on the stretch and he's one of

732
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 4: those guys where you're like, I just swear off of.

733
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: And I've never liked the the antics.

734
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 4: Even didn't buy the book stuff, you know, on the sidelines,

735
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 4: Not like I'm buying the book, but you know, I

736
00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:59,680
Speaker 4: didn't buy his story of that.

737
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: He's deep into it.

738
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 4: The whole point is, Mike, I would not buy To

739
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 4: answer your question, I'm not buying a J. Brown, not

740
00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,959
Speaker 4: buying DeVante Smith, And I guess that means I'm also

741
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 4: really not buying Jalen Hurts.

742
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: In the passing game right now.

743
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 5: They just seem to want to run the ball, right,

744
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 5: But that's the thing right, No, Dallas Goddard this week,

745
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 5: what was it, one hundred and one yards?

746
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 3: Is where you got to in the past game.

747
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 6: It's just like the way that they have been going

748
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 6: to the Toush push. It's starting to really annoy me,

749
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 6: you know. And I already admittedly with someone who kind

750
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 6: of just wants the Toush push gone, I'm like that.

751
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 5: But I think there was a report that they were

752
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 5: starting to anybody pushing out the video about the false start,

753
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 5: and yeah, they're trying to that. They were pulling it

754
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 5: off of a scrubbing it from the internet. Yeah, it's

755
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 5: it's crazy. They just don't want people to see or

756
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 5: talk about it because all the false starts. But yeah,

757
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 5: it just seems like there's you know, uh, handed to

758
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,919
Speaker 5: Saquon on first, okay, four yard gain, you know, handed

759
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 5: to Saquon again, two yard gain, Toush push, don't get it,

760
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 5: okay toach Bush again. It's just like, can we play football, please?

761
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 5: I get it if you're on the goal line, but

762
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 5: this is getting ridiculous.

763
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 4: I didn't I didn't hear the broadcast, but someone said

764
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 4: Brady said that the egos basically at first to nine,

765
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 4: because if you get anywhere close to it, and you

766
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 4: know they'll just do the They'll do that, they'll do

767
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 4: the play. I saw Mike Renner tweet from CBS Sports

768
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 4: that they ran it seven times against the Chiefs, which

769
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 4: amounted to eleven point seven percent of their plays in

770
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 4: the game.

771
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,240
Speaker 6: On Sunday, I support it as a as a tool,

772
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 6: you know, but when it's your main go to thing,

773
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 6: like it's becoming, it's just come on.

774
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 4: Do you think do you think Roger Goodell like now

775
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 4: loves this that people are so turned off by a

776
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:44,240
Speaker 4: play like that they would maybe not want to watch

777
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 4: that team or watch that game. Like, I think that's

778
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 4: ultimately like when you get to the owners and you

779
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 4: talk about fairness and unfair we're actually complaining on behalf

780
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 4: of the Kansas City Chiefs on this, and I thought

781
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 4: that was the biggest That's how you know, like that

782
00:36:58,040 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 4: something may not be right if we're like, hey man,

783
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 4: the Chiefs are getting screwed here, like that's what we

784
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 4: were doing over the last twenty four hours or so

785
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 4: because of this play. And yeah, I don't think it's

786
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 4: I think that Sunday kind of showed that this has

787
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:12,320
Speaker 4: maybe gotten out of hand.

788
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 1: Just a little bit.

789
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, I did the murkiness now in terms of where

790
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 5: the line in the sand is in running this play

791
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 5: versus being able to adjudicate it. Look, we've always had

792
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 5: the question of being able to spot the ball in

793
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 5: any fourth and fourth and short yardage situations, but now

794
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 5: this takes it to.

795
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 3: A whole other level.

796
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 5: Like where's Jalen Hurts relative to where that pile is

797
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 5: as opposed to where he actually comes out after you

798
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 5: try to spot it.

799
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: So like you're still playing Hurts because of what he

800
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: could do rushing the football and those one yard touchdown runs.

801
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: But to answer your question about the wide receivers, yeah,

802
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: I mean I guess I'm still playing a J.

803
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: Brown because of where I drafted him, but I'm not

804
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 4: playing DeVante Smith.

805
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they were just at that point where

806
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 5: it's like Brown is probably no better than mid number

807
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 5: two in the best of weeks, I e the six

808
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 5: teams on a buy and we go from there. But yeah,

809
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 5: it's it's one of those where I know, on the

810
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 5: average draft position, he was still a guy as a

811
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 5: back end WR one And I'm sure you're wringing your

812
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 5: hands right now if you're an owner there because he's

813
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 5: got He and Smith both have nine targets at this point.

814
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 4: And just to put a bow on this, if you

815
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 4: can go get Rashid Rice, if somebody's on a team,

816
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 4: just for the simple fact of the Chiefs can't do

817
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,840
Speaker 4: anything right now or at least couldn't do anything really

818
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 4: on Sunday, So now at least when Rahi Rice comes back,

819
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 4: it should be a welcome part of their offense that

820
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 4: they're probably gonna try to use.

821
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 3: A bunch YEP still available in about fifteen to twenty

822
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 3: percent of leagues out there, depending on your service, but

823
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 3: certainly worth a checkout as you traverse the wave.

824
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: Of a wire.

825
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I'm saying throw out trades too. For times

826
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 4: people are like, yeah, I don't you know, like it's

827
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 4: gonna be another month.

828
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 5: For if you're zero in two right, maybe he's one

829
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 5: of those guys. Hey, I'm going to be smart and stash. Yeah,

830
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 5: and you drafted an aj Brown, You drafted one of

831
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 5: these guys that struggling.

832
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 3: You might be able to go and make some Hey.

833
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: Who can make hay for you?

834
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 4: In week three on the waiver wire, Mike Harmon has

835
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 4: those answers. Plus we'll tell you how we did with

836
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 4: our week two predictions. He's Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Byer,

837
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 4: that's Ian Roddy. That's next here, and I want your

838
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 4: flex all right, report card time? Who did what well

839
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 4: and not so well in week two? From what we

840
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,200
Speaker 4: told you in our previous pod. Mike will start with you.

841
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 4: Who hit for you in week two?

842
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 5: Well, we'll take the w of h chan Be based

843
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 5: on his efforts as a pass catcher. Yeah, the Dolphins

844
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 5: are a segment and a therapy session for another time.

845
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 3: Overall, a little bit of Trevor Lawrence.

846
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 5: As well as as well as etn running with him.

847
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 5: Two guys who were high on off the hot plays,

848
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 5: so we'll run with those. From the Cold Soars Ashton genty.

849
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 5: We talked about him ad nauseam in the first part

850
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 5: of things, So I'll take a victory there. Hollywood Brown

851
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 5: against the Eagles just five for thirty, so solid there.

852
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 5: And then on the Ninjas we had On Dunza and

853
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 5: Keenan Allen to lead the charge there. A couple of

854
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 5: horrible misses across the board there. JJ McCarthy against Atlanta

855
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 5: and now he's hurt. We look at the Cold Soar

856
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 5: We had a long discussion about Jared Goff saying who

857
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 5: knows him better than Ben Johnson? You and I both

858
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 5: on that Dan, and it's like, wow, that got ugly

859
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 5: and fast, especially when they decided, hey, let's run it.

860
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 3: Up and see how great we can take this.

861
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 4: I think we both thought that the Lions are probably

862
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 4: gonna win that game. It's tough, tough spot anyway for

863
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,400
Speaker 4: the Bears. Short we were coming off the loss that

864
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 4: they did, but I just thought it was gonna be

865
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 4: done through the ground with Gibbs and Montgomery.

866
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: Not five touchdowns from Golf's.

867
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 5: Arm, solid returns from Justin Herbert not overwhelming, but the

868
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 5: sixty yard bomb to Quentin Johnston got us started pretty

869
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 5: well there. Lamar jack and gave us some usual brilliance

870
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 5: along the way. Jamiir Gibbs with a solid performance against

871
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 5: the Bears. McCaffrey found the end zone, a couple of duds,

872
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 5: and there Derrick Henry. It turns out they really could

873
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,759
Speaker 5: control him. Okay, they didn't need him, but eleven for

874
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 5: twenty three not exactly getting it done. Kyron Williams seated

875
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 5: a bunch of carries to Blake gorm as they went

876
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 5: to the sledge hammer. So a guy that we need

877
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 5: to kind of watch down in distance and opposition dependent.

878
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 5: I think a little bit there, we'll maybe see a

879
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 5: little more of a split wide receiver wise talk about neighbors.

880
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 5: He gets it done, Alman Ross, Saint Brown, Jamar Chase,

881
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 5: didn't matter that Joe Burrow exited early. He still got

882
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 5: it done. And Ceenee Lamb, though he didn't find the

883
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:45,839
Speaker 5: end zone, still gave you a nice twenty point day

884
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 5: in your PPR league.

885
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:48,479
Speaker 3: So we'll take the w there.

886
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: As for streaming defenses, Ian, you had three of them.

887
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: How'd they fare in Week two?

888
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, So just like last time, we'll start with the

889
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 6: worst and work our way up.

890
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: So that was first.

891
00:41:59,600 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 6: Yeah.

892
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 3: News, First was the Cowboys.

893
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 6: They ended with negative four fantasy points, and yeah, I

894
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 6: did not see that coming. With the Giants, I don't

895
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 6: know how many people did, but that was a very,

896
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 6: very high scoring game, so I doubt that either defense

897
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 6: ended up doing well. So that was a miss. Forty

898
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 6: nine Ers defense ended up getting you five fantasy points.

899
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 6: They allowed twenty one points, got a fumble recovery and

900
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 6: a sack, so not bad there. And then the Chargers

901
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 6: were the last one. That was a great, great day

902
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 6: and that was just the night game tonight and they

903
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 6: got you fourteen fantasy points. Could have really helped you

904
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 6: win your week there they only allowed nine points, got

905
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 6: three picks and three sacks on the day, So huge,

906
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 6: huge day for the Chargers.

907
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, they looked really good defensively. The points of Paluzzo

908
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 4: would have been Cowboys Giants. The highest spread, it might

909
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 4: correct me if I'm wrong. I thought it was Bengals

910
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 4: Jaguars heading.

911
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 3: Into the week was at forty nine.

912
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:51,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

913
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that one is off the board when we

914
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 4: picked Points of Baloza because we tried to look below that.

915
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 4: So Dallas Giants would have been the pick.

916
00:42:58,440 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: I told you.

917
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 4: Arizona and Carol didn't rise to the level I thought,

918
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 4: thanks to a late.

919
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: Comeback, it made it better than what it could have been.

920
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 4: But I doubled down the last episode and I picked

921
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 4: the Panthers or excuse me, the Cardinals as my survivor pick.

922
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: And they did survive.

923
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 4: They held on and what should have been an easy win,

924
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 4: but they allowed the Panthers to stick around and stick

925
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 4: around and hang around, and a bad turnover by Kyler

926
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 4: Murray then he had an awful penalty call on a

927
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 4: roughing the passer which never should have been called. But

928
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 4: the Panthers hung in there, got it up to forty

929
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 4: nine points total but didn't top our points at Palooza.

930
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 4: But the Cardinals were the victorious and the survivors. So

931
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 4: we're two for two with the Steelers in Week one

932
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 4: and the Cardinals.

933
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: In Week two. The tricky thing, guys, is last year,

934
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 1: at the start of the season, it was pure chaos

935
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: in Survivor League.

936
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 4: Nobody could get anything right. Now we've had chalk for

937
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 4: the first two weeks, a lot of the favorites ending

938
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 4: up winning these games. In fact, we had in one

939
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 4: contest that I'm in Raven's Cardinal, those Cowboys rams Lions

940
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 4: were the top five picks all end up advancing. The

941
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 4: Steelers were taken by about three and a half percent

942
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 4: of the pool, and then it was the Bills and

943
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 4: Bengals after that. So you've got your top eight teams

944
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 4: and seven of those eight advancing. So you probably should

945
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 4: be alive in your Survivor pool. And if you've lost entries,

946
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 4: like me, tip of the cap to you, because you're

947
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 4: actually sticking your neck out trying to play I was

948
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 4: on the Dolphins in one of my leagues just as

949
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 4: an extra entry guy. Handicap I felt was right, And

950
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,959
Speaker 4: if h Chan's foot stays in bounds on that touchdown run,

951
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 4: maybe they end up pulling out the victory there. But

952
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 4: it didn't cash in. But predicting chalk so far has

953
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 4: been good for you in the survival pools.

954
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly.

955
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 5: I know in Week one just from a straight betting perspective,

956
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:51,360
Speaker 5: and that sounds odd to say it that way, but

957
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 5: there were I think only two upsets, maybe a third,

958
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 5: but they were all three points or fewer in terms

959
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 5: of the points preadure, so not exactly overwhelming. Oh my god,

960
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 5: look at this crazy ass game. Unlike last year, when

961
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 5: you know through two weeks the Saints were the best

962
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 5: team in football.

963
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: That's true. Cowboys eliminated a lot.

964
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 4: A lot of people got eliminated by the Cowboys in

965
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 4: that Week two matchup.

966
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: Oh I remember. Well, all right, let's look ahead to

967
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:17,680
Speaker 1: week three.

968
00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 4: It starts Thursday night with the Bills and Dolphins. I

969
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 4: will be in attendant something well nice too on the

970
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 4: next podcast. Then the weekends with the Dandy with the

971
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 4: Lions and Ravens playing on Monday Night in week three.

972
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 4: But Mike, with those two bookends, who do we get

973
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 4: to look at the waiver wire coming up for week three?

974
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll do a deeper dive in the next episode

975
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 5: on quarterbacks overall, but as as we look at the

976
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 5: percentages Jake Browning, based on the fact that he's got

977
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 5: two of the best pass catchers in the game, I'm

978
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 5: also going to go down a little bit deeper and

979
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 5: give you one to stash and let's see how it

980
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 5: plays out for the next couple of weeks. In Yoshavish,

981
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 5: who became a target and it'd been working with him

982
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 5: on the second unit, so I think you're going to

983
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 5: see a target count there as he gets more and

984
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 5: more comfortable. He's a guy that's been in the system,

985
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 5: so you get a little bit of a helper there.

986
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 5: As you go a little deeper down, you've got about

987
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 5: half of the league's look. Trevor Lawrence is gonna have

988
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 5: his ups and downs, but he's gonna keep winging the

989
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 5: ball around. So we'll take a look down his way.

990
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 5: And then we mentioned Mac Jones a little bit earlier.

991
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 5: You can take a ride down that highway if you want.

992
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 5: Sam Darnold your guy. He may only have one receiver

993
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 5: right now, Dan, but available in most leagues, and with

994
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 5: all the injuries we've got out there, you've got He

995
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 5: and Bryce Young are two of the guys that'll be

996
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 5: of the more active. Young had a nice twenty two

997
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 5: point performance in that game against Arizona. As you laid

998
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 5: it out and then check your league, Daniel Jones, people

999
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 5: were reticent after week one. After Week two, I got

1000
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 5: to assume that we get too near to one hundred

1001
00:46:57,160 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 5: after this.

1002
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: I will say that the Seahawks do walk of the

1003
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: Saints to town, so that could be a friendlier matchup

1004
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: for Darnold. Does the Saints get out of the Dome

1005
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: for the first time this season? And yeah, of all

1006
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: the matchups Division showdown Colts Tennessee, I'm gonna be a

1007
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: little intriguing with that Daniel Jones pick up for sure.

1008
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:20,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, no question about it. In Tennessee, they hung around

1009
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 5: for a while and then just too much DeVante Adams

1010
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 5: and that defense, no question about it. To the running

1011
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 5: back position, Rashaan White, we talked about him. If nothing else,

1012
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 5: he becomes a stash proposition to see how much they

1013
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 5: deploy a two back offense there in Tampa. Going forward,

1014
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 5: another stash Tank Bigsby who got traded to Philadelphia. So

1015
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 5: if he does eventually either work a larger workshare or

1016
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 5: in the worst scenario of something befalling Saquon Barkley, suddenly

1017
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,840
Speaker 5: you've got an option Camp Scatabo. Going back to a

1018
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 5: guy we talked about a little bit, Quinn Shawn Judkins.

1019
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 5: He's going to get his opportun tunity. He's available in

1020
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 5: about forty percent of leagues as we move forward. And

1021
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 5: then one that's still a little bit surprising, a guy

1022
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 5: that we thought might lose a bunch of share early on,

1023
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 5: available in one third of leagues.

1024
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,439
Speaker 3: Two great weeks in a row. Ramandre Stevenson of your

1025
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 3: New England Patriots for another bit of an opportunity of

1026
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:24,320
Speaker 3: a guy who right now Henderson's not getting a workload,

1027
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 3: and it may be a while before we see that

1028
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 3: get overtaken.

1029
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you one of the things.

1030
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 4: And I watched a bunch of that game on Sunday,

1031
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 4: But Henderson three down back, like you can play him

1032
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 4: on and have him work in pass pro. He missed

1033
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 4: some spots and if there's anything that's going to take

1034
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 4: you off the field. It's missing blocks, especially in that situation,

1035
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,320
Speaker 4: and Stevenson ran the ball really well in that contest

1036
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 4: against Miami, so he deserves to get an opportunity. So

1037
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 4: I think that's a pretty good suggestion for the Patriots,

1038
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 4: who I don't think they're going to win pretty but

1039
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 4: I think they're gonna win some football games. Now, I

1040
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 4: got the Steelers coming to town, and I think that's

1041
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 4: a winnable football game because I think Pittsburgh showed some

1042
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 4: wartz against Seattle this past weekend. All right, Ian, any

1043
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 4: final thoughts from you as we wrap this up?

1044
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 6: Now, that'll do it for me, guys.

1045
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 3: Good show.

1046
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 4: All right, So for Mike Carmen, Ian Roddy, and myself

1047
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 4: Dan Byer, we will be talking quarterbacks, all the injuries

1048
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 4: that were littered throughout JJ McCarthy, Jayden Daniels, Joe Burrow,

1049
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 4: and so much more and justin field.

1050
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 1: Sorry, Ian had also included Jet's QB. We'll talk about

1051
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 1: it in the next episode of I Want Your Flex
