1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: Welcome back in his time for the Fantasy Football Focus.

5
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 2: He is Matt Williamson, I am Dale Lolly and Matt

6
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: Christian Watson. With that hamstring injury remained sidelined in Thursday's

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: practice for the Green Bay Packers.

8
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 3: That's not good news for that not good news. I mean,

9
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 3: they're obviously not deep in the receiving corps. They're very young.

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 3: I like them to win that game against the Bears,

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: but I mean that's a key loss for them. I mean,

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 3: I think Romeo Dobbs is fighting something as well, and

13
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 3: I like Jalen Reed a lot. But there's uncertainty with

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 3: that receiver group even without injuries.

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about this one.

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: Odell Beckham added to the injury report in Baltimore. He

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: was limited today with an ankle injury.

18
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: Something to monitor for sure. I mean, they want to

19
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: play a ton of three receiver sets from all reports,

20
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 3: with him being a key member of it. The fantasy

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 3: community seems to be really shifting to Zay Flowers as

22
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: the one. I don't know if I buy that or not.

23
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: It seems like an overreactions. I think so a couple

24
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,279
Speaker 3: of good series and a couple I think.

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 4: The other guys were out of sight, out of mind exactly.

26
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 3: That was my thought.

27
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 4: They're using yeah because they're trying to get him ready

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 4: to go for.

29
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: The regular and he needs to play.

30
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: He needs to play.

31
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: The other guys didn't, so all of a sudden, now

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: he's leaped a leapt ahead of those.

33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 4: I don't know about that.

34
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: I don't know about that either. Like a couple of

35
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: drafts I was in, I was always shocked, and when

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: he went, I was like, Wow, that's earlier than I

37
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: would have even considered him. And you and I liked

38
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 3: him a lot coming out of BC. I think he's

39
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: a really good prospect. A prospect. So if you had

40
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: to own those three for the season, how would you

41
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: rank them? Not their ADP, It's like, who do you

42
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: want most? I think I went Bateman, zay O'Dell.

43
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: But in our draft that we did, it went they

44
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 2: it win, zay Odell and.

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: I got late.

46
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: I couldn't believe he's still sitting there.

47
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, did everybody forget what he did last year with

48
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: when he was healthy. I understand he wasn't healthy, I know,

49
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: but when he was out there.

50
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: And even coming out of school, he may have been

51
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 3: a better prospect than Zay. I mean it's comparable, right,

52
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: I mean they both went in about the same neighborhood

53
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 3: as he was the first round pick.

54
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,399
Speaker 4: And he's a bigger receive, bigger guy.

55
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: He'll block in the run game. I think Bateman's being

56
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 3: slept on Jerry.

57
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: Judy practiced again on Thursday. That's trending in the right direction.

58
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: It is. I thought there was no chance. So that's

59
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: an interesting one. A lot of people are all speaking

60
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: of rookie receivers. A lot of people are really psyched

61
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: up about Marvin Mims right now, which I get. You know,

62
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: Peyton hand picked him and he's a little more explosive

63
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: and all that. But Judy's going to be the one

64
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 3: there if he's healthy.

65
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

66
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he had some monster games down the stretch

67
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: last year once he came back.

68
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 3: I mean that was, yeah, he did.

69
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: There was a touchdown game wrong in you the week

70
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: kind of.

71
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: Games when everybody was not paying attention to the crappy Bronco.

72
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: After but he had cut all their Broncos.

73
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, and the coach got fired and

74
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 3: all that stuff.

75
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe Burrow a full participant in Thursday's practice for

76
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: the Bengals.

77
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: That's not surprising to me. That's not even a concern.

78
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 3: He's gonna play.

79
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow in his career against the Browns. What do

80
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: you think the record is?

81
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: I think it's bad, isn't it?

82
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: One in four?

83
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? I knew that was. Yeah, I thought that was

84
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: I didn't know that until this week, but I heard

85
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 3: that somewhere else. I don't really plays well. I think

86
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: he plays. Of course, you start him. I'm sure if

87
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: that's your fantasy quarterback. I think the Browns might win

88
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: that game. And a lot of it's a taste in

89
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 3: my mouth that I saw last year in Week one

90
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: from the Bengals. Yeah, there's somebody in the whole offense.

91
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's some of that.

92
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: Cordell Patterson with the thigh was limited in Thursday's practice.

93
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: He's not a fantasy relevant player at this point.

94
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: No, he'll get some touches and buggy if you're a

95
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: Bijon owner.

96
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 4: Chase Young with that neck was limited today.

97
00:03:58,440 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 3: Is that what he's been fighting all along?

98
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's been it's been a neck like. They called

99
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: it the stinger initially.

100
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 3: That's a little vague though.

101
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes if I'm him, I want to get back and

102
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: play in this game.

103
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: This is make your money type.

104
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 4: This make your money game for that defensive front.

105
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 3: But if I'm them, I think I beat him without him, Yeah,

106
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: you know, but you know, I think to get him

107
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: out there.

108
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: Then you also want to get him out there, And

109
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: you know he's gonna be somebody that gets traded at

110
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: the like if he goes out and has five sacks

111
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 2: in the first eight games and then you can trade him.

112
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: And they may may have already decided we're not going

113
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 3: to give him the contract he's gonna want. Maybe they

114
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: want to invest in Sweat, who's a good player on

115
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: the other side too, and he's a little younger. They've

116
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: already given big.

117
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,679
Speaker 2: Money to the two defensive tackles, right, so and draft

118
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: another defense and go into that again and get another edge.

119
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: I think Young is one of the more likely trade

120
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: candidates out there.

121
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 2: Zach Ertz, with his knee, was limited in Thursday's practice

122
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: for the Cardinals. Remember, the Cardinals are going to that

123
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: Browns type offense, which uses the tight ends.

124
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: A lot, a lot. So I think you'll see both

125
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: those guys out there.

126
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: McBride and like Trey McBride's a nice sleeper tight end.

127
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: This they don't have anything else, like.

128
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: I think McBride's really intriguing. Yeah, I mean it was

129
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,799
Speaker 3: the first tight end drafted last year on a team

130
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 3: that has to find out who are our building blocks,

131
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: who are our young guys like Ertz might get traded.

132
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 3: I mean, if ers could go out there and put

133
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: a couple of games together, he's not even in the future.

134
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 4: Ye why would you keep him around?

135
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 3: Right? Send him to a contender and get a fourth round,

136
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: fifth round pick out of it or something.

137
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 2: Terry mcclaurin with that toe injury a full participant Thursday,

138
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: I guess you have them up.

139
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 3: I have to. I mean when they say tow it's

140
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 3: always a turf toe, right. I mean I don't know

141
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 3: enough of medically, but if a toe is a turf toe,

142
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: it probably will bug him, but he's gonna play through it.

143
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: I imagine Marquise Brown with the hamstring limited for the Cardinals.

144
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it's this is setting.

145
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: Up for Trey mcbri to go out and catch eight.

146
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 4: He's it might be a great DFS play.

147
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we might need to keep him in mind. Remember

148
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: Logan Thomas was the one we thought about yesterday too.

149
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 3: I mean, these guys are gonna be cheap. I mean

150
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: people look up at Bride like he's like.

151
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: The middle of the field was an issue last year

152
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 2: for Washington too. Their linebackers didn't cover well.

153
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, good point, and there'll be garbage time when they're

154
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: in soft zones and things like that. McBride might be

155
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 3: ownable this year when it's all said and done, Like

156
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: he might be a a week two hot waiver wire

157
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: pickup guy.

158
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: Terrace Marshall.

159
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: Their receivers are with the back was limited in Thursday's practice.

160
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: Thelan didn't practice and uh Chark didn't practice for them

161
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: as well.

162
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 3: I don't think Feeling or Shark are playing.

163
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 4: Do you fire up the rookie?

164
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 3: I was about to say in terms of he's really

165
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 3: raw mingo, but he might be the McBride too, like, hey,

166
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: we got to this.

167
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 4: Well and that's so they've now got the tight end.

168
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 3: Yeah. Hayden Hurst, hayden Hurst is there. I thought he

169
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: was sneaky even will be could be. He's a older

170
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: guy that's been around the block. He could be a

171
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: seven touchdown guy before you know it. Yeah, I think

172
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 3: that's possible. And again, some of these rebuilding teams need

173
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 3: to find out McBride mingo. Are they building blocks or not?

174
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: Can they develop a rapport with our quarterbacks and stick around?

175
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 2: Kendre Miller did not practice with that hamstring injury on Thursday.

176
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: Jamal Williams might be a great tat.

177
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: For a week or two. He's gonna get a ton

178
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: of touch like.

179
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: He'll be cheap. He'll cheap, and he's gonna get twenty touches.

180
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: They play the Titans, which is a really good run defense.

181
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: But I don't care. I mean, if he's gonna be volume, ye,

182
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 3: it's gonna be catch the ball. Coaches love him. That

183
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 3: looked like a really crowded backfield for a while. Now

184
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 3: it might be a one man show.

185
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: For not releast a couple of weeks.

186
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 3: Zach. I wouldn't have to say to start him in

187
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 3: Week one though, even if he was like the fourth

188
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 3: running back I drafted.

189
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: Zach Moss with that arm injury was limited in thirdday's practice.

190
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 4: I don't know if he plays this week.

191
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: It's not a great situation for me either way, and

192
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: I'd like to see it first.

193
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: But he's he's the best of those three.

194
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 3: He's the best of the three. The I don't know

195
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: that team is bad. Vibes all the way down heavily

196
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: right now.

197
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: Uh. Mark Andrews limited again today with that quad injury.

198
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: That's trending, I mean limited limited. He's gonna probably go

199
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: full tomorrow, I would guess.

200
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 3: I would guess eve an eye on it.

201
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: But he's he's always nursing something.

202
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: There's always a little something going out with him. He's

203
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 3: a frustrating owner. Yeah, he's a frustrating guy to own.

204
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm not I'm not super concerned about that.

205
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: Wandel Robinson with the nee list that is limited on Thursday.

206
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 3: I think that's progress for him though, right Yeah, I

207
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: don't know how that whole receiving room shakes out.

208
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: I don't want to start him anyway.

209
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: No, No, he's not startable at this point. Jeremy Fowler reports.

210
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook with that shoulder, is a full go for

211
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: Week one against the Bills and will not be limited

212
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: in practice this week.

213
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 4: What do you make of that backfield?

214
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 3: I think it's an a void for now, but I

215
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 3: think I'd rather start Cook than Hall. This week I

216
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: drafted Hall unsuspectingly. I didn't plan on it, but in

217
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: the two drafts we had one with you, I took

218
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 3: him in both leagues. He's the only guy I took

219
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 3: him both, and I'm not excited. I'm trying not to

220
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: start him this week, especially becains some Monday night and

221
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, like I'd rather just have somebody in

222
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 3: the books by then. In the other league, I'm starting

223
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: James Cook.

224
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: Over him in the other league, and that makes sense.

225
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one wasn't hard. In our league. I'm trying

226
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 3: to get thoughts in in the lineup, but I can't

227
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 3: because he's well.

228
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 4: The McLaurin news isn't good with that.

229
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 3: That's true too. That's true too, So I probably will

230
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 3: stick with Hall in that league. Like I'm not gonna

231
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: start him over a big s B or somebody like

232
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 3: that quite yet, or sit him over those guys. And

233
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 3: I don't put much stock in this, but I did

234
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: look at a couple running back ranks this morning for

235
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: Fantasy and most people him at like forty, Like just

236
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: stay away. I'm not sure why one hundred percent, because

237
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: he's practicing in full two, But I think he's gonna

238
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 3: be in a pitch counter early.

239
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: Could Dalvin Cook be the third down back there? But

240
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: Carter's there too, But Cook's better than Carter.

241
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: Cooks better than Carter.

242
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: Like you're again, you're they're paying money to Dalve money

243
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: talks and he's making six million dollars a year this year.

244
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 2: I should say they're not doing that just because they

245
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: felt like giving you the Cook family some money.

246
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 4: No, you know, you're talking about a guy who.

247
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: See I was thinking maybe Breecee Hall would only do

248
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 3: the third down stuff that.

249
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: Might be this week and week and then maybe that

250
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: flips a little bit.

251
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what to make of it.

252
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 3: I'm enamored with Hall because of how good he was

253
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: last year in his talent, and he was a high pick.

254
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 3: That's not a knock on Cook at all. I mean,

255
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 3: that's why I took Hall. But I took Hall with

256
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: the thought of maybe he's the guy on a good

257
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: offense by week six, not now.

258
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's that's the time.

259
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: That's a waiting game for me.

260
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: A little Houston news there, Jimmy Ward did not practice

261
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: on Thursday for them. That's one of their big acquisitions there.

262
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 2: They're playing this. This is setting up well for the

263
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: Ravens passing game.

264
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: It is assuming Beckham and Andrews and all those guys

265
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: are ready to roll. I think Houston's in a bad spot.

266
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 3: I mean there are lines of mess. They're young, first

267
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 3: time head coach. It's in Houston, right, No, it's it's

268
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 3: in Baltimore. They might get blown out.

269
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 4: They might get blown out.

270
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 2: In fact, I would this is a typical John Harball.

271
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 2: Let's just go out and run the score up on

272
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,559
Speaker 2: somebody because because we can.

273
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: It could be a real good Dobbins day late in

274
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: the game, or even Gusts as a flex or.

275
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: I think they want to show off their passing game.

276
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, I think they might beat them. Bad

277
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: uh for the rookie quarterback.

278
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 4: Yeah absolutely.

279
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 2: Shaq Leonard has cleared concussion protocol for the Colts. Makes

280
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: that makes their defense a little a little more different.

281
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: First, first bit of good news they've gotten in a while.

282
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. The forty nine. I didn't see this.

283
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 2: The forty nine is restructured to contracts of George Kittle

284
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: and Trent Williams.

285
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, they did that both this morning, or maybe it

286
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: coincides with the Bosa things. Sometimes news leaks out a little.

287
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 4: They had to create some money there, so.

288
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 3: They also made some caps face when they traded Lance. Yeah,

289
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: they're a weird cap team that just popped up.

290
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 4: I don't know why that's in the fantasy football feed here,

291
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 4: but it is.

292
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: Devin and Chaine with the shoulder, was a full participant

293
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 2: Wednesday for the Dolphins.

294
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 4: Are getting some of the late news there from out

295
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: of those.

296
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: I don't know that I'm on board with this, but

297
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 3: I have seen a couple of fantasy analysts this morning saying, well,

298
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: Wilson's out moster. It's never a heavy you know, snap guy.

299
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 4: I'd play moster this week, though I.

300
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 3: Haven't played moster this week for sure. I have a

301
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 3: hard time going down the A chain road. Yeah. He's

302
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: just so tiny, so tiny.

303
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike Evans not listed on Tampa Bay's injury report.

304
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 3: The weird stuff going there. Yeah, Yeah, they're talking about injuries,

305
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 3: but I think it's more contract. I think that's more

306
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 3: like a Jonathan Taylor situation. He could be the next

307
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: guy to get traded, which would help his I mean,

308
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: oh yeah, yeah, you'd love to see him go somewhere decent.

309
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 2: He goes, He's gonna let you wind up helping that

310
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: team Jackson Smith and Jigbo was a full participant Wednesday.

311
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 3: He's back, he's right, roll like. I don't think that

312
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 3: they're even like being cautious.

313
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 4: Is he playable this week?

314
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 3: No, I don't think.

315
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 4: I don't think so either.

316
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: No. I never thought that to begin with. Yeah, I

317
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 3: mean that's he's a third receiver.

318
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 4: If he if he would have landed in Minnesota.

319
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: Like Addison Addison or even Satursday Flowers or yeah you know.

320
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you know that was you know the thing.

321
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that could could Baltimore get Jackson Smith

322
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: and jig But that would have moved a needle for a.

323
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: Little bit more. Yeah, I mean I love the player.

324
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 3: I just don't think it's gonna be a great Fantasy

325
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 3: year for him.

326
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so either. Travis Kelcey will find

327
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 2: out tonight. He's gonna test things out before. I don't

328
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: think the game, I don't think he plays. I would

329
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 2: be surprised.

330
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 4: I mean it's one game, I mean out of seventeen.

331
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: Keep hearing the word swelling. I mean there's something going on.

332
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 4: It's a bone bruise, and those are painful as well.

333
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: You could take a shot, or you could give him

334
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: ten more days and play sixteen games, maybe as opposed.

335
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 4: To one, which is what I would do.

336
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 3: And this is also an NFC opponent. I mean, I

337
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: don't know. I would rest him. I would be very

338
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: cautious with this situation.

339
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 4: I would too.

340
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 3: Ambitions are much bigger than beating the Lions.

341
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 2: So if Kittle or if I'm sorry, if Kelsey is out,

342
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: who gets the bulk of the targets.

343
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: Then, right, if you're doing like a one game DFS

344
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: tonight or sky Moore, I think.

345
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 2: He's I think he gets the most work. Kadarius Tony

346
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 2: is back. I think they'll use They're gonna use him

347
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: in some package.

348
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: Type stuff and manufactured.

349
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 2: No, yeah, they'll find some ways to get him the football.

350
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 2: The sky More is gonna be out there all the time.

351
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 3: I think Noah Gray will be out there all the time.

352
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: The sneaky guy from me is Justin Watson. He's in

353
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 4: the South product.

354
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 2: I know Mahomes likes him, Mahomes trusts him. He's a

355
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: bigger receiver down the field than sky Moore.

356
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 3: Or longer than Rice or Tony or Sky. Yeah, I

357
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 3: mean at least there's a big play waiting to happen there.

358
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: It'll get single coverage all the time. Sneaky, He's yeah,

359
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: real sneaky. You know.

360
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 4: If he gets three catches, it could be three catches

361
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 4: for sixty yards and a touchdown, a.

362
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 3: Long touchdown or yeah. Yeah, he gets behind the defense.

363
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 3: And I don't think that secondary is great. I don't

364
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 3: think that pass rush is great. Like I think Mahomes

365
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: puts up numbers to night no matter what. Yeah, so

366
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: if somebody's only receiving end.

367
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 4: Of it will look different.

368
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 3: It look real different. I mean it could be three

369
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: guys with five catches.

370
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 2: The tough thing for Kansas City is that this injury

371
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 2: happened on a Tuesday, and you play Thursday.

372
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: Really tough, like this whole offseason then two days before.

373
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, I'm sure Andy Reid did all scheming. So

374
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: we're gonna get ready to start getting here's what I

375
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 2: want to run this first game.

376
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 4: This is what we're gonna do.

377
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 3: Six months of scheming.

378
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: Gays in the barn on Tuesday, the most important guy

379
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: and Kelsey gets hurt, like you spent the whole week

380
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 2: and a half, at least a week and a half

381
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: leading up to this game. Okay, here's what we're gonna

382
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 2: do in the in the opener, this is what we're got.

383
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: We got and then Kelsey gets hurt in practice on Tuesday.

384
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 3: I mean, frankly, before I know this injury ever popped up.

385
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 3: I looked at this game like when I was thinking

386
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: about taking Kelsey in the first round, I'm like, he

387
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 3: may catch twelve balls in the opener, yeah, I mean,

388
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 3: just abusing young linebackers and safety. Hey, I like Campbell,

389
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: I like Branch. All those dudes. Deal with Kelsey in

390
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 3: their first ever game in primetime and arrowhead in front

391
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: of the gazillion viewers, Like, oh, I thought he was

392
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: going to have a monster game.

393
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 2: So basically, I'm sure they had to tear up the

394
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: game plan a little bit, no doubt, you know.

395
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 4: So now it's now your parent the ball to now right?

396
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 4: Is it a checkout game?

397
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 3: Maybe? Maybe?

398
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 4: I mean, do you just go out here and try

399
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 4: to run the football.

400
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 3: And I mean, another sneaky guy that doesn't get any credit,

401
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 3: Jared McKinnon catches passes and scores touchdowns.

402
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 4: You know they usually only late in the season.

403
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: It's usually late the season, like near the goal line

404
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 3: and when they do ring around the rosie or whatever,

405
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 3: and yeah.

406
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 4: They don't score on this place, everybody, that's the thing.

407
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 2: So they did the ring around the rosie play and

408
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 2: all the play didn't work.

409
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: Scootingall you talk about it, but yeah, it didn't work.

410
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know what the answer is tonight,

411
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 3: but I'm trusting Mahomes and Reid defined the the answer.

412
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: I don't, you know, figure out the problem. There's no

413
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 3: more I trust than that. I think it's my home

414
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 3: spots for three hundred yards. I don't know who catches them.

415
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 4: You might have to throw sixty passes to get the three hundreds.

416
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 3: There might be eight guys with two or three catches

417
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: or more.

418
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

419
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 3: How about on Detroit side of things, I think Saint

420
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 3: Brown blows up.

421
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 2: I think he has a big game. I like Montgomery

422
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: a lot in this game.

423
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 3: I do too. I mean Chris Jones and no Chris Jones.

424
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 4: In the middle. I think if you're Detroit, you just

425
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 4: try to take the air out of the ball on

426
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 4: this one.

427
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think Montgomery gets between fifteen and twenty

428
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 2: touches running against that defense.

429
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 3: I'll definitely start Gibbs consider where you drafted him if

430
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: you had him. But I'm more interested in his usage

431
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 3: than I am. Boy, I think he's gonna blow up

432
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 3: to night.

433
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 4: It might be great over under five catches.

434
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 3: For him, I'll go over they might be. Yeah. I

435
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 3: think the thing with him, for my thoughts on the

436
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 3: over is I might even think the over on Laporta,

437
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: whatever it is. Maybe that's three or whatever, just because

438
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 3: Saint Brown's gonna get peppered with targets. But he's also

439
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 3: get so much attention they don't have another receiver.

440
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 4: That's the problem.

441
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: Like, who's the second leading pass catcher on the team tonight, Gibbs, Gibbs,

442
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 3: Probably Gibbs. Yeah, so that's probably over five. Yeah, I

443
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 3: bet the number is like four and a half.

444
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if Montgomery ca. I mean, Montgomery's

445
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: a good receiving back too.

446
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

447
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 2: I mean I think you could see a whole lot

448
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: of dink and dunk tonight at about these teams.

449
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 3: I think Gibbs will be more McCaffrey like as a receiver,

450
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 3: where Montgomery will be oh, check it down, yeah, yeah, great,

451
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: eight to ten whatever.

452
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: So who comes out of this not named Mahomes with

453
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: the most Fantasy.

454
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 3: Points Saint Brown.

455
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 4: That's kind of easy though, Yeah, I think so.

456
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean maybe golf, but I mean in terms

457
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: who is the best day? How about the ones that

458
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 3: who's third? Like, who are you most? It's Montgomery?

459
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 4: Might be Montgomery.

460
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 2: He falls into the end zone once or twice and

461
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 2: they ran the ball down inside the five a lot

462
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: last year.

463
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 3: I mean, there's a chance we come back here tomorrow

464
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 3: and be like, oh, sky Moore is gonna have a

465
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: huge season.

466
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 4: Well we thought that already.

467
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 3: We've been saying that we drafted him a lot of

468
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 3: different our our mocks and things. But we might be like,

469
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: oh Kelsey wasn't in and he caught nine for one

470
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: to twenty.

471
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 2: I think the fantasy world as a whole was sleeping

472
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: on Montgomery a little bit this year without question, like

473
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: he's he was going as like RB thirty.

474
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's terrible. I think he's a starter in fantasy.

475
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 4: I love it. I mean, what do we not seeing

476
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 4: about Jamiir? I like Jamier Gibbs as a prospect, but

477
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 4: he's not gonna get He's one hundred and ninety five pounds.

478
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 4: How many carries what he get tonight?

479
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: Eight?

480
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: Maybe he's not a fifteen carry a game guy.

481
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 3: No, I think they'll be on the field together a lot. Yeah,

482
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 3: but I think Gibbs is more of a slot than

483
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 3: he is hand the ball in the eye, right, you

484
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 3: know type of thing.

485
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 4: Whereas Montgomery is that he's that workhorse type back.

486
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 3: And I think you'll see Gibbs and jet motion and

487
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 3: doing all kinds of crazy stuff and they'll give it

488
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 3: to him once in a while, but it's all said

489
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 3: and done, they'll end up with eight or nine carries.

490
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Montgomery's gonna get two fifty this year.

491
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 3: Mm hm. I mean think of the head coaches, right,

492
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: and they want to be a physical running team behind

493
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 3: Penny Soul and Ragdow and those great offensive lines, a

494
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 3: great offensive line, and they're gonna try to shorten the

495
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 3: game and bludget him and he won't have Jamal Williams touchdowns,

496
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 3: but he'll have eight plus yeah. I mean, yeah, he's

497
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 3: a good player.

498
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

499
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: That's going to do it for the fantasy football focus.

500
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: He is Matt Williamson. I am Dale Ellett. You're listening

501
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 2: to the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. We'll be

00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

504
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

505
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

506
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 4: Welcome back. I am Dale LOLLI he is Matt Williamson

507
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 4: and Matt.

508
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: We did get a little tweet there at us this

509
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: from Noah Nichols.

510
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 4: He's listening out to how you doing? No he said, well,

511
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 4: y'all have moved off to talk on from the topic.

512
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: I would say defensive tackle is probably their first round

513
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: pick in twenty twenty four, and I'm not going to

514
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 2: discount that. I think this is a good defensive tackle draft.

515
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 2: Cam's not young, Cam's not young, but they've got three

516
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: young defensive linemen on that roster.

517
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 4: Like, but that's that's a great a great spot.

518
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 3: Frankly, I mean, with Omar and Andy Whidel heavily in

519
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 3: the mix, I think d line always gonna be in

520
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 3: the equation high, you know, Like, I don't think they'll

521
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: ever be short on those guys that they want to

522
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 3: bring waves. Now here's a question for you that's not

523
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 3: super positive. Do we know Leal and louder Milk or

524
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: keepers you know what I mean? Like, are they long

525
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 3: term answers.

526
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 4: I think they really like Leel I said.

527
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: I put le Al ahead of him on the on

528
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 3: the packing order, like I'm already convinced, Like.

529
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 4: I mean, louder Milk was a fifth round draft.

530
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: I get it. I get it, Like I mean, if

531
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 3: you get one good contract out of him and some production, fine,

532
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: I think, Benton, I'm already sold on it, like I'm

533
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 3: it's no doubts at all. But if Leo doesn't have

534
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 3: a great year, like okay.

535
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, then I can see it. Yeah for sure.

536
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 2: So Matt, we haven't done this in a while. Let

537
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: me find it here where lose that? Okay, here we go.

538
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 2: So now that we know what we know.

539
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 3: Okay, or what we think we think we know.

540
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's look at the Steelers schedule. Okay, game by game, Okay,

541
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: you know, I'll mark.

542
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 3: What you downt which they shouldn't say win or loss

543
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: for this one because i'll sketch tomorrow. We'll skip this

544
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 3: from Okay, so we'll do a sixteen game sketch. Yeah.

545
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 2: So Steelers versus Brown's Monday Night next Monday Night at home.

546
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 3: I'm leaning towards the Steelers win because of the Monday

547
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 3: night because.

548
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,600
Speaker 2: I'm more than leaning because I know it's like they

549
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 2: haven't lost it. They haven't lost a Monday night game

550
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: at home in two head coaches.

551
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 3: I know, like the trends are pretty strong.

552
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: It's like it's like over twenty games in a row

553
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: that they've won Mosday night.

554
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: Towards the Browns. Beating the Bengals in Week one though

555
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 3: and being quite hard to play against in that game,

556
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 3: that's fine, you know, but the whole Monday Night at home,

557
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 3: you know.

558
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, Steelers at Raiders in Week three, that's a

559
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: night game.

560
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 3: It is. So I don't want to put words in

561
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: Tim Bens's mouth, but I did a night show with

562
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 3: him yesterday.

563
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 4: You don't have to put words and Tim, he has

564
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 4: plenty of them going out.

565
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 3: But he mentioned like that's a game they traditionally lose,

566
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: you know, I mean mostly in Oakland. You know, like

567
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 3: they don't have a lot of much like the Monday

568
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 3: night thing we talk about. And I would think at

569
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: that point, Jimmy's still healthy, and you know, there's the

570
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 3: offense will be hard to play against. Chandler Jones just

571
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 3: wants out of there.

572
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 2: No, I think there's a lot of discord in that

573
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 2: locker room. And I don't know how much how hard

574
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 2: the Raiders want to play for Josh mcgannons I.

575
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:30,959
Speaker 3: I was kind of going with too, And I think

576
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: their defense is horrible. Yeah, I think they win that

577
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: game and a lot of black and gold in the stand.

578
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 2: That's to me, that's the difference between playing that game

579
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 2: in Oakland as opposed to playing it in Vegas. I

580
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 2: don't think the Raiders right now have a home field advantage.

581
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 4: In fact, are both bad. Yeah, their owner.

582
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 2: Mark Davis came out in the offseason and said, I

583
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: don't want to see, you know, the opposing team taking

584
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 2: over our stadium anymore.

585
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 4: Then you shouldn't have moved to Vegas.

586
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: Easiest town in the world to get to. And they're

587
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 3: are some attractions for besides the game for people to

588
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 3: make it a road trip, not.

589
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: To mention just to you don't even have to travel

590
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: there for a lot of like a lot of people,

591
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: nobody's from Vegas. Everybody has moved there, So everybody's moved

592
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 2: there from somewhere.

593
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:18,640
Speaker 3: And so even the your hometown is into heavy Raiders contingency, right,

594
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: And I don't know their fan base well enough, but

595
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: even in like in the seventies and eighties where if

596
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: you were from Vegas, were you a Raiders fan?

597
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 4: No?

598
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 3: Probably not right, probably.

599
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, probably you might have been.

600
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 3: I mean some but yeah, that's not slamm not.

601
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 4: The yeah, not the majority.

602
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: I'll take Steelers now one, okay, so you're.

603
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 4: Taking the Steelers. I will take the Steelers in that game.

604
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 2: That's two cotch Uh. Then you go to Houston to

605
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 2: play the Texans.

606
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 3: I don't like where they're at at all right now,

607
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 3: I'll take the Steelers there.

608
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, I'm in the same spots.

609
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I worry I'm going to have them like

610
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: thirteen and four.

611
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 2: Well, uh, then you come home to play the Ravens.

612
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 2: I'll take one o'clock game. I'm gonna take the Ravens

613
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 2: as well.

614
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 4: In that game.

615
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 3: I just can't imagine starting on a crazy winning three. Yeah.

616
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: They I mean those two teams mm hmm always seem

617
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 2: to win on each other's field for whatever it's the battle. Yeah,

618
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 2: Steelers at Rams coming out of that.

619
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 3: I think the Rams are going to.

620
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: Be horrible, more horrible.

621
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: Sooner than any of us think. I think the Wheels

622
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 3: might be off this week, like I think they could

623
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: lose by thirty to Seattle, and we're already having the

624
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 3: discussion who should be thirty two in the power ranks?

625
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 3: Cardinals of the Rams, Like, I think they could be

626
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 3: that bad a week or two from now.

627
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 4: I think you're pretty bad football team.

628
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

629
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 4: I don't like the fact that that game is in

630
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 4: Los Angeles.

631
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 3: No one of these road trips, and they're gonna lose.

632
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 3: That they shouldn't. I hate that they shouldn't. That that

633
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 3: is the opponent no credit at all.

634
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 2: Right, we both took a win there. I think they're

635
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 2: bad Jaguars at home. I'll take Jackson at one o'clock game.

636
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 3: I'm warming up to them more and more, especially offensively,

637
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: especially Lawrence things I liked before. But I think they're

638
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 3: gonna be even better than I thought.

639
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: I thought so I thought that same thing. I think

640
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 2: that's a tough matchup. I'm gonna go with the Jaguars

641
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 2: as well.

642
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 3: I might even saying the Jags are a better team.

643
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 3: But that's a tough matchup a good team.

644
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 4: You follow it up with the Titans at home.

645
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 3: Ugly win you win it like seventeen thirteen.

646
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take the Steelers, and I think they're gonna

647
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 2: be a bad football team.

648
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 4: Then you get the Packers at home.

649
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 3: I'm a Packer believer, but I think the Steelers win

650
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 3: that one.

651
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 4: I'm gonna stick with you on that one. So we're

652
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 4: both at six and.

653
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 3: Two for good right now, and maybe seven and two

654
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 3: or six and three. We didn't talk about the nine Ers.

655
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 4: Then they go to Cleveland.

656
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: I'm gonna call that a lot. November nineteen, they split

657
00:27:58,600 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 3: with the Browns.

658
00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: I think so as well.

659
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna pick them three and three in the division.

660
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 2: Then they play at Cincinnati loss. Okay, that would be

661
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: two in a row. I'm with you on that.

662
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 4: Then they play the Cardinals here win. Yeah, that's a win.

663
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 4: So we're up to seven.

664
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: Frankly, the Steelers could be pretty injured at that point

665
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: and still should win that game.

666
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 2: Then they come back and play the Patriots on a

667
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:28,400
Speaker 2: Thursday night here.

668
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it's a lot like the Titans game.

669
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 3: It's not pretty, seventeen thirteen first downs are hard to

670
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: come by, but you beat them.

671
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 2: I think you beat them pretty easily. I just don't

672
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 2: think that they're going to be very good.

673
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 3: I don't either.

674
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 4: Then you play at Indianapolis.

675
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll think they'll take the winning that one too.

676
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: Maybe Taylor's happiest can be by then and Richards up.

677
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 3: I mean, I just think that that's gonna.

678
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 4: Be all right.

679
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 2: So that's nine and four right now. Then you get

680
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 2: the Bengals at home.

681
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take Cinci in that one too.

682
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 4: He said, you're gonna go three. You lied. I lied.

683
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make them two and four in the division.

684
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, you find a way and you win

685
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 4: that game.

686
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 3: Certainly possible.

687
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 4: At Seattle loss, I'm saying that's a loss as well. Okay. Uh.

688
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 4: Then at Ravens to finish.

689
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 3: Up the season, I'm gonna say a win because I

690
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 3: think they split with them.

691
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 4: I think they win that game.

692
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: So right now, Matt, I've got them at eleven and five,

693
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 2: not counting this weekend's game. You've got them at ten

694
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 2: and six, not counting this game.

695
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: So you think that, well, might put words your mouth,

696
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 3: but they might. You think it's potentially they could be

697
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: a twelve win team. Well, I guess you should answer

698
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 3: that because we'll wait till tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, you'll get

699
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 3: my answer tomorrow. Yeah, But I I.

700
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: Said before the seasons started, I thought they could be

701
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: an eleven win team. I hadn't gone through a game

702
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: my game like this, but I mean there's a couple

703
00:29:58,720 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 2: of swing.

704
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 4: Games in there. The divis games are obviously a big

705
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 4: part of that.

706
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 3: No doubt.

707
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 4: Can they can.

708
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 3: They the division? Yeah, I mean that would be a problem.

709
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 3: But even if they do, Like let's say you go

710
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 3: one in five in the division and we're still right

711
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 3: about those things. I mean, that would be my team.

712
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,479
Speaker 3: Mine would be a nine win season plus the niner result,

713
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: still winning team. I mean, there's just those AFC games

714
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 3: and those NFC West games are bad football teams. There's

715
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 3: six bad teams on the on the schedule, maybe one

716
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: of them. Out kicks are coverage a little, But by

717
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 3: that I mean being a six win team, not a

718
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 3: four win team. I mean Houston or somebody like that.

719
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 2: Like I think, you know, could they lose to the

720
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: Patriots if that were a Sunday game, Yeah, we're in

721
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 2: New England. I feel differently about it, given that it's

722
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 2: a short week and they get and the Patriots have

723
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: to come here. Bellotchick's not scheming up a bunch of

724
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: new stuff to throw out there that week.

725
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 3: No you're just putting together and running your stuff. Yeah,

726
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 3: that's the other thing about the schedule. And we talk

727
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 3: about schedule a lot, but we knew the teams and

728
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 3: then the schedule gets released and it was even better

729
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 3: know just with who you play when and where and

730
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 3: after this team and there's not a stretch there. But

731
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 3: these things will happen. There will be a month where

732
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: two or three bad injuries are all at the same time,

733
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: or a cluster of safeties or tight ends or whatever,

734
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: because that's what happens every team.

735
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 2: But there's they're in such better position this year to

736
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 2: handle something like that.

737
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not like, boy, there's a month where

738
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 3: they play Baltimore, Cincy at Seattle and the Niners. You know,

739
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 3: like where boy I looked that if things are in

740
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 3: a bad spot, that's zero and four.

741
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: Well, I like everybody, Well, the month of December is

742
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 2: rough on them. In December on Patriots at home at

743
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: the Colts, Bengals at home at Seattle, at Baltimore, I

744
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: think a lot of hay is going to be in

745
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: the barn by that point in the season. They don't

746
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 2: have stacked up enough wins that you know, if they

747
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: can win if they can steal you know, three of them,

748
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: if they go three and two in those five games.

749
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 3: And that Seattle is the only far road trip of

750
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 3: that group.

751
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 4: And that's a tough thing.

752
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 2: They've had trouble if they've had trouble playing out there.

753
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 2: What if Geno Smith's not playing?

754
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 3: Oh sure, sure we can say that about any quarterback. Absolutely,

755
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 3: but frankly, I think Trubisky gives them a shot against

756
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 3: the Patriots Seattle. Maybe not the Chiefs, you know, but

757
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 3: I don't see them on the schedule, you know what

758
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: I mean? Where do I if if you lose your quarterback,

759
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what the season shot for a month

760
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 3: or two weeks or three weeks, like if Seattle doesn't

761
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: have Geno or he comes back to Earth.

762
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, it's I just I like the way

763
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 2: the schedule sets up.

764
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 3: I like where The're at right now.

765
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: I like where this team is at. I feel very

766
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: confident that this is a pretty good football team.

767
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 3: I mean, we won't have crystal balls, but if we

768
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 3: get back here Monday and Steelers got beat bad on Sunday,

769
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 3: like clearly were the inferior team and things we weren't

770
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 3: worried about.

771
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, are now concerned?

772
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, Bosa had two sacks, Kenny threw two picks,

773
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: couldn't run the ball, McCaffrey blows up and there's no

774
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 3: answer for him, and they lose by two touchdowns. Do

775
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 3: you think you'd change your predictions much?

776
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 4: No, because forty nine Ers are a good team.

777
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 3: I don't think I would either. You know, maybe you just.

778
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 4: Mentioned like seven different things going wrong. If seven different

779
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 4: things like that go wrong, they lose by more than

780
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 4: two touchdowns.

781
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 3: Probably, right, right? Yeah? Yeah, that may turnovers and McCaffrey

782
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: has thirty fantasy points or something against Yeah, it's probably

783
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: gonna end up worse than that, right, But those things

784
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: could happen. It could be a bad week one.

785
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I don't. I don't see it happen. I

786
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 4: just don't.

787
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be a close football game.

788
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 2: And I think this is a good football team. If this,

789
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: if the Steelers were in the NFC, people will be

790
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 2: talking about this game being a potential NFC Championship game matchup.

791
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 3: I agree. I mean, I think they're better than the Lions.

792
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 3: I think they're the fourth best team in the NFC.

793
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 3: Who are the three ahead of them, Dallas, Niners, Eagles.

794
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 3: I'm a Dallas believer. You are, I know you're some questions.

795
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 3: I'm a Dallas some.

796
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: Questions about them.

797
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I don't know. I don't know if the

798
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 3: Niners season is going to go swimming leading.

799
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 4: No, I don't know that that's going to happen either

800
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:26,760
Speaker 4: about their quarterback.

801
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: But for me, the you know, Dallas has been a

802
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 2: team that wants to run the football, but their lead

803
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 2: running back has never been a guy that's gotten more

804
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 2: than fifteen carries. Like over the course of his career,

805
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 2: He's done it like three times.

806
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 3: I'm a little shocked they didn't draft Tank Bigsby, you

807
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Just.

808
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 4: Joe sign A, Leonard Fournette or somebody Johnson, somebody could

809
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 4: take some some.

810
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,919
Speaker 3: You know, just an old Bruis.

811
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 4: They don't have a backup plan right now.

812
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 3: Who's the dirty work guy? Yeah, yeah, I don't know

813
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 3: who that is for them, right.

814
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 4: What is Rico dal Dell or whatever his name is.

815
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 3: I don't even know.

816
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 4: Rico Suave would have a better like the.

817
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 3: Three guys that haven't been in my kitchen. Yeah, it's

818
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 3: a little odd to me that for Nat or even

819
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: Dela Cook or you know some maybe it does. Didn't

820
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,720
Speaker 3: have to be a big name, yeah, just a bruiser.

821
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 4: And maybe they're up that far up against the cap.

822
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 2: That's one thing that you know, I think, you know

823
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: looking at I I I put the question out there

824
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,799
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago why the Ravens didn't try

825
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 2: to go out and signed Desmond King because they need

826
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 2: cornerpenk help. Desmond King would have been a big upgrade

827
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 2: for the Ravens. They don't have any cap space.

828
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 3: Cap space. Lamar's gone. They were for people don't remember.

829
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,759
Speaker 3: I mean, it seems like a million years ago, but

830
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 3: free agency, they sat in their hands forever.

831
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 4: Del They have way no cap space.

832
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then made the Lamar signing finally while he

833
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 3: was touring and under the franchise tag and all that,

834
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 3: and they don't have any cap space at all. No,

835
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: you're right.

836
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,720
Speaker 2: I wonder in a gram scheme of things they signed,

837
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 2: they signed h Clowney what about three four weeks ago?

838
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: Maybe the last yeah, something like that.

839
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 4: Right after that. I think when you're home from watrou

840
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 4: By that was when Desmond King was released. I wonder

841
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 4: if they were like, oh no, like we could have used.

842
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 3: That he could use that. Maybe I should know this,

843
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: but it's King's contract up after this year. I thought

844
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 3: he have won more, but I'm not sure about that.

845
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 4: They didn't claim him, they signed him.

846
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 3: Okay, so he signed a one year deal with the Steelers.

847
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,479
Speaker 4: I assume it's a one year deal. I haven't seen anything.

848
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 3: I'm intrigued with him. I mean, we talked about him

849
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 3: a little earlier in the show. I think he's gonna

850
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,879
Speaker 3: help them this year. I don't know if we'll see

851
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 3: a lot of them on Sunday. Do you think he

852
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: plays Sunday?

853
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 4: One year? One eight million?

854
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,880
Speaker 3: Great?

855
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 4: Basically give him the minimum.

856
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 3: Right, that's great. They'll get more than a million dollars

857
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 3: out of him.

858
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 4: I bet that without doubt. Ye with that, I don't know.

859
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 3: Do you think he's active this week?

860
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 4: No?

861
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,240
Speaker 3: Okay, but Devan's just too soon and they have other options.

862
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,240
Speaker 4: They have other Like if they didn't have other options

863
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,479
Speaker 4: right now, I'd say, yeah, he probably you know, gets

864
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 4: a hat, but I think just because.

865
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 3: Let's get familiar and learning and yeah, okay, you have.

866
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 2: Other options that you trust, the guys who have been

867
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: with you all off season. You run those run those

868
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 2: guys out there instead of forcing him out.

869
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 3: You know what I went where you know? Yeah, okay, okay.

870
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, particularly not against his team, but I think he's

871
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 2: I think sooner rather than later, he's part of the equation.

872
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 3: I think so too, and maybe even in the nickel Yeah,

873
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 3: I mean like, I think he plays a lot when

874
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 3: he's here.

875
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's a pretty good football player.

876
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna take another break. He is Matt Williamson. I

877
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 2: am Dale Lowlly. You're listening to the Drive here on

878
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 2: Steelers Nation Radio. We will be back to finish up

879
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 2: the show right after this.

880
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

881
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

882
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

883
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 4: Welcome back on Dale Lollie. He is Matt Williamson, and

884
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 4: this is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio. We get

885
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 4: a little breaking news. Travis Kelce will not play tonight.

886
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 4: They had elevated I think Matt Bushman off.

887
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 3: Of their bring the Bushman in here, so you got.

888
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 4: The bush Hammer for those who don't know the different store.

889
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: I don't think that's one for the air. You want

890
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 3: the Lions or Chiefs with four and a half is

891
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 3: the magic number it gets closed.

892
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 4: I'll take the points.

893
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the home team still, Okay, I mean

894
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 3: don't feel great about it. Chris Jones and Kelsey.

895
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 4: Being out, I mean, two studs.

896
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 3: I just don't love golf on the road, this environment.

897
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: And I'm not gonna blame him entirely. I just mean

898
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: it's a young team.

899
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 4: It is it is. Can they keep it within a

900
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 4: field goal? Can it be? My question is can it

901
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,439
Speaker 4: be a field goal game?

902
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

903
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,479
Speaker 4: I believe it can be a field goal game.

904
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 3: I mean, frankly, I could see him winning by ten.

905
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 3: I mean I could see the Chiefs just being I could.

906
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 4: I can see that.

907
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 3: But I can also get pressure.

908
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know that the Lions. But you're

909
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 4: gonna give me that many points?

910
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, I think it's from six and a half

911
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 3: down to four and a half. I understand with just

912
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 3: this news.

913
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 4: This news might move it even farther away.

914
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe it's even two and a half by the time,

915
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 3: and then in that case, I don't like it. Nokay,

916
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 3: do you think it's a field goal game.

917
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 2: Like twenty seven to twenty four? I don't think it

918
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 2: goes over. That was like number is fifty two or

919
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 2: fifty three, depending on where you're looking. Yeah, that's a

920
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:14,720
Speaker 2: big number in today's game. I'm just gonna trust read

921
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: in mahomess. Here's the thing about their handcut the Chiefs.

922
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 4: Everybody assumes they're this high flying outfit. They were not

923
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 4: that last year. No, they averaged twenty eight points per game,

924
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 4: which led the league.

925
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 3: Sure, but they had an auditioned.

926
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: They had more games where they were under thirty points

927
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: than they were over last year.

928
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 3: And they're not big plays galore, explosives all over the place.

929
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 3: It's just efficiency and Kelsey's a huge part of that, big.

930
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 4: Part of that. Yeah, he's the one that would get

931
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 4: the chunk plays for.

932
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 2: Them because it'd be a ten yard catch that he

933
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 2: would again run after the catch.

934
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 4: He's pinballing his way down the field.

935
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 3: And it's not even like Valdez Scantlings out there ripping

936
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 3: off seventy yarders once in a while against man coverage.

937
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 3: Like the other guys are just guys. Yeah, so I'm

938
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 3: really intrigued, Hellars.

939
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 4: Goes, I'm saying twenty seven to twenty five.

940
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 3: It might be more not entertaining, but more enlightening without Kelsey?

941
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 3: Where are the Chiefs without their two? That day's coming,

942
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 3: That day's coming, Right, Mahomes and Reid are going to

943
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 3: be there. Well, I assume he'll be as long as

944
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 3: he wants. But could Jones not be there the rest

945
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 3: of the year or for.

946
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 4: A while potentially?

947
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 3: What's luck going to be cheap forever?

948
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean he's sooner rather than later. He's thirty

949
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 4: four years old.

950
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 3: You know they still able to overcome and beat a

951
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 3: good opponent. I'm curious.

952
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about this news out of San Francisco. Nick

953
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 2: Boso was working on the side during forty nine ers practice.

954
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 4: Is that odd to you?

955
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you've been to a lot more NFL practices

956
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 3: than me. That is a little odd, you would think.

957
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 3: Get back in the mix. I mean he hasn't been

958
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 3: in the building at all yet. Right.

959
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 2: He began practice out inside the weight room with strength

960
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 2: and conditioning coaches before walking outside to the field. This

961
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,800
Speaker 2: from Pro Football Talk where he was on the field

962
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: working with the athletic training staff on side. Now, maybe

963
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,320
Speaker 2: they're testing his Maybe this was part of the process

964
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 2: with the contract. Hey, we get to see how you

965
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 2: know this. We're not going to give you a full physical.

966
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 2: We want to make sure nothing that we have.

967
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 3: Had my hand. We had our hands on you in

968
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 3: a while, right, you know, make sure you've been training.

969
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean you didn't screw things up with your body.

970
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, we want to make sure you didn't come in

971
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:14,879
Speaker 2: here with a foot injury. He didn't tell us about.

972
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 3: What's bugging you. Yeah, let's see you move around. Maybe

973
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,879
Speaker 3: that's all it is. But I thought that was peculiar. Yeah,

974
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:24,280
Speaker 3: I mean we shouldn't he be out there going against Yeah.

975
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,879
Speaker 2: Entially he's gonna have one practice then before he comes

976
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: and plays against the Steelers.

977
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 3: I don't that makes me think he'll play a little

978
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 3: bit fewer snaps than I thought, Like an.

979
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,240
Speaker 4: Hour over under on fifty fifty percent of the snaps

980
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:37,400
Speaker 4: are more more or less.

981
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 3: I'll go more, but not much like under sixty.

982
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 4: Depends on how many defensive snaps they play.

983
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 3: Did you say he was a seventy four percent last year,

984
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 3: which is low for a stude. Yeah, so he doesn't.

985
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 3: I bet he's fifty five ish, you know.

986
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:56,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, he'll be.

987
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 3: Out there the first play of the game or anything.

988
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 3: I would think so, I would think so. If not,

989
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 3: that would be very telling to me. I'm definitely way

990
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 3: under fifty percent.

991
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely so. Patrick Peterson today spoke to the media. Actually,

992
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 2: he said on This Is On All This Was On

993
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: All Things covered his podcast, And remember, now, Patrick Peterson

994
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 2: comes from that af or NFC West.

995
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 3: He's long ago.

996
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 4: He was, Yeah, he's going up quite.

997
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 2: A few times against Kyle Shanahan and those teams all

998
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 2: have a tendency to beat each.

999
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 4: Other out there.

1000
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, they had that rock paper scissors thing going there

1001
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 3: for a while.

1002
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 2: He said on his podcast that he has identified some

1003
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 2: tendencies on this forty nine ers offense that he thinks

1004
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 2: he can exploit. He said, there this is a quote,

1005
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 2: there's there are some tells out there that tells us

1006
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: what plays we're going to get from these guys in

1007
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 2: certain situations. He said, when I get my pick Sunday,

1008
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 2: we'll talk about him.

1009
00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a confident guy, but I don't think

1010
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 3: he's ash just throwing things out for clicks or anything.

1011
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 2: I think there's something that he's He watches tape. I'm

1012
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 2: sure every Steeler defenders watched all five regular season games

1013
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: and then the three postseason games.

1014
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:15,840
Speaker 4: Brock Purdy out there.

1015
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 3: It's funny you said it that way because I was

1016
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 3: thinking the same thing. Is I bet Shanahan doesn't have tells,

1017
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 3: but maybe Perty does.

1018
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 4: Maybe Perty does.

1019
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like what do you think people have

1020
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 3: been doing all off season?

1021
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 4: That's the key for like, it's it's the baseball.

1022
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 2: You know, guys going around the same pitchers or batters

1023
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 2: come going through the league the second time around. How

1024
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: do you adjust to the adjustments Because everybody now has

1025
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 2: tape on your swing or they have tape on your stuff,

1026
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 2: they know exactly do you have any do you have

1027
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 2: any tells?

1028
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 4: When you're throwing your pitch? Do you do you?

1029
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: You know, do you do you grit your teeth when

1030
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 2: you're throwing your fastball. I've seen guys at double tap

1031
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 2: the glove before they throw their fastball.

1032
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 4: It's like I'll go into the dougy guys.

1033
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 2: Every time he throws his fastball, he's double he's double

1034
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 2: tap in his glove. When he throws his curves, he

1035
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 2: doesn't double tap. And it can stay Like if you

1036
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 2: see that, now we know, if I know the fastball's coming,

1037
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna hit the fastball and I don't care how

1038
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 2: good it is.

1039
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 3: And it's such a small world now too. All it

1040
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 3: takes is Aaron Donald or Bobby Wagner or somebody. All

1041
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 3: all buds, right, you know, like hey, Pat P, check

1042
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 3: this out. You know, I got a little something. See

1043
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 3: if it does it for you, and then let me

1044
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 3: know if you saw the same thing. You know, like

1045
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 3: they all talk, they all the same agents, they all

1046
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 3: know each other. You know, like there's not secrets like

1047
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 3: there used to be.

1048
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 4: There are not.

1049
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: I can remember when I was doing the Antonio Brown

1050
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 2: Show and somebody tweeted in at us or a call.

1051
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 2: There was a call actually, Antonio, every time you lace,

1052
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 2: are you tighten up your gloves before a route? That

1053
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: means the ball's coming to you. Well, first of all,

1054
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 2: the ball was always coming to Antonio, so that was

1055
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 2: But he started doing it then before every route.

1056
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, okay, if that's.

1057
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: If I'm doing that before the ball's running again, which

1058
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was or wasn't. But then

1059
00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,840
Speaker 2: you started seeing him every time tightening up those gloves.

1060
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 3: Some fan or some media person found on with your

1061
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 3: mixing too, Like if it's a run, he would come

1062
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 3: up out of the stand and he did something the

1063
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 3: same time when it was a run to him, and

1064
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 3: so you find that out. I mean, it's Teddy KGB

1065
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 3: with you.

1066
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, yeah, chick all night long, chick chick.

1067
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 2: If if I'm not trying to offend fans at all

1068
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 2: or anybody that does this stuff out there and finds

1069
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 2: these things, but if somebody just watching the fan tape

1070
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 2: can find these.

1071
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 3: Things, chances are the league nos. Yeah, I would say

1072
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 3: chances are the quality control guy found it out a

1073
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 3: year ago. Yeah, I mean more time on their hands.

1074
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 3: I just didn't broadcast it right, and sometimes Okay, the

1075
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 3: ball's going to Antonio Brown. I still can't cover them.

1076
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was one thing. You know.

1077
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 2: Matt Canada said today, like, you know, if if a

1078
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 2: guy's getting doubled, you know you're gonna just go to

1079
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 2: put the ball somewhere else because you're gonna have single matchups.

1080
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 2: And we like our other guys. I'm like, that never

1081
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 2: mattered when you had Antonio Brown.

1082
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 3: Brandon Moskit Doll, whatever you play.

1083
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just throw your guy. He's your guy. He

1084
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 4: trusts him. No, I don't, I mean I'm not. I

1085
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 4: don't know that the Steelers have that guy.

1086
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 3: They do, Yeah, but I think Pickens has some of

1087
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 3: that quality. Yeah, I mean when you're okay, you're covered,

1088
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 3: that doesn't mean I shouldn't put it up back shoulder

1089
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 3: and see what you can.

1090
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 4: Do with Yeah, right, you know, I trust you to

1091
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 4: go make a play.

1092
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 3: That's another thing I've mentioned with Pickett is I think

1093
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 3: he's so much more familiar with each individual target too.

1094
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 3: You know, I can throw this one back shoulder to

1095
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 3: de Aante, but I shouldn't to Austin or you know

1096
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 3: or whatever. Like even that touchdown he threw to friar Mouth.

1097
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 3: Not every tight end can contort and running down the field.

1098
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,239
Speaker 2: Big guy moving like that, Yeah, and get your head

1099
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 2: around the other way, and.

1100
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 3: Like that's a big Aaron Rodgers. Things is he throws

1101
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 3: bad balls in practice on purpose. He couldn't get that bad.

1102
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 4: Ball, so Ben Roethlisberger used to, I'll.

1103
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I know he can go get this one.

1104
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: He may not even know he can go get it.

1105
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 4: But you don't know unless you try it, unless you

1106
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 4: try it.

1107
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 3: Yeah. Oh, he threw five picks in practice. Well he

1108
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 3: wasn't trying to hit him the numbers.

1109
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like working only working on my curve ball,

1110
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 4: you know.

1111
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, And people were rocking it out of the

1112
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:10,560
Speaker 3: stadium because they all know.

1113
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 2: There's this change up that I just you know, decided

1114
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 2: to start throwing here. Well they hit that a lot,

1115
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 2: Well I won't throw it in a game then.

1116
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think that's part of the second year. There's

1117
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 3: a lot of things for a second year quarterback taking

1118
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 3: a step forward. But understanding each and every target as

1119
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 3: well as to be the game and defenses all that

1120
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 3: other stuff too, is important.

1121
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 2: And I think you know a big part of that's

1122
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:34,120
Speaker 2: going to be understanding that. Well, Deontay's always open mm hm.

1123
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 3: I mean he's not ab, but in terms of route

1124
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 3: running and acceleration out of breaks, he's in the neighborhood.

1125
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1126
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 3: I mean he's better than ever to me too. Yeah,

1127
00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 3: like an unsung preseason star.

1128
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 2: If you think about the catch that he had in

1129
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:50,359
Speaker 2: the last preseason game, the thirty was like thirty one

1130
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,680
Speaker 2: yards or whatever down the side. He actually was doubled

1131
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 2: on that play. He was, I mean, and he beat

1132
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:55,880
Speaker 2: he beat both guys.

1133
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 3: What if I mean, he doesn't get doubled like Ab

1134
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 3: and Moms and we're talking about all time grades, But

1135
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 3: what if he the others can force coverage to be

1136
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 3: a little more equal, you know, like, yeah, everyone knows

1137
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 3: he's going to be the target guy last year, but

1138
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 3: what if it's we know that, but I'm still too

1139
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 3: scared of Pickens with whoever.

1140
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 4: To I think Pickens is definitely a guy that if

1141
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 4: I've if I've got a under six foot corner on

1142
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 4: his side, I'm gonna be very concerned.

1143
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 3: Because I don't care if he's in a hip I

1144
00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 3: mean the corner to everything, right, Yeah, it doesn't matter.

1145
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,800
Speaker 3: And if Kenny's just gonna put it high or.

1146
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a chunk, a chunk play and if

1147
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 2: we miss a tackle, it's going to be a real

1148
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 2: big chunk play. I want to I want to have

1149
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 2: coverage over the top on that guy.

1150
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. What's funny about me with Pickens is is he

1151
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 3: a superb route runner as a rookie. I'm just talking

1152
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 3: off his rookie tape. Is he great against his own No?

1153
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 3: Both agenst of those are no. But I think he

1154
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 3: ran like fifty routes his last year in Georgia. Yeah,

1155
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 3: and he still made the hard plays, you know, like

1156
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 3: if you not that.

1157
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 2: The other his last year of college was more concerned

1158
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 2: about I got to get my knee rehabbed.

1159
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 4: As opposed to running routes.

1160
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 3: He ran fifty routes. I think the whole year, give

1161
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 3: or take on a bad knee.

1162
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 4: You know, like you're not going to cut well on that.

1163
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, you know, and even your rookie year, the

1164
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 3: year after the knee injury is still in that equation,

1165
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 3: you know.

1166
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1167
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 2: I just think that this is just get that. I

1168
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 2: can't wait to get to this game on Sunday. It's

1169
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:26,879
Speaker 2: going to be so fascinating to see what they do.

1170
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 2: I guess what's a really good defense?

1171
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 3: Really good defense? Yeah, I think so too. And just

1172
00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 3: talking about those two, I've been critical. Too many pass

1173
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 3: outside number, too many go balls. Well, I think that's

1174
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 3: where you want to tackle this.

1175
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 4: That's yeah, that's what you want to see in this game.

1176
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 3: Actually, if they're heavy on that, it might gonna be like, oh,

1177
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,280
Speaker 3: they didn't learn anything Like That's how I would act

1178
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 3: this team too. Yeah, outside, maybe not the Raiders. You know.

1179
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:49,760
Speaker 2: What I want to see though, is if they still

1180
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 2: run the ball and try to run the ball and

1181
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: are as effective at it as they were last year

1182
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 2: down the stretch like we talked about earlier, and it

1183
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:58,800
Speaker 2: doesn't even it doesn't have to be one hundred and

1184
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 2: forty six yards. But if they can run for ninety

1185
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 2: plus against.

1186
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 3: This team, yeah, and get short yardage and stay on

1187
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 3: the field and bludgeon them a little bit, it would

1188
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 3: really help.

1189
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, against the early in the season.

1190
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 3: I mean, every defense is not No one on any

1191
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 3: defense has played one hundred STAPs yet, right, you get

1192
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 3: tired quicker in September.

1193
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,439
Speaker 4: And I want to see, you know, at the forty

1194
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 4: are they ready to tackle? I don't know. I don't

1195
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 4: know what they did in the preseason.

1196
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 3: I know Bosa didn't play, right. I would bet Warner

1197
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,240
Speaker 3: and our Grave and those guys played little or none.

1198
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I want to I want to make them

1199
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 2: try to tackle the two hundred and forty pound.

1200
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 3: Running back who's played some snaps, who's gotten his condition

1201
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 3: in practice. Yeah.

1202
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 2: So, Matt, that's going to do it. For today's show,
