Speaker 4: I mean getting a lot of tweets, people that are

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 4: enjoying the video too. You know that they're just they're

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 4: putting it up on their TVs and you know, great.

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: Boy, that's kind of scary.

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a lot of.

21
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't know that I should be seen in full

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 2: HD right now. But okay, get moving on here, Matt.

23
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: It's time for the Fantasy Football Focus to take a

24
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: look around the league on Wednesday here and see who

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 2: is in and who did not practice today, And leading

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: off things is Tank Dell officially limited today at practice

27
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: for the Houston Texans with that chest injury.

28
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 4: He's a hot waiver wire pickup, and you know he's

29
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: in a lot of leagues, but his stock seems to

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 4: be skyrocketing, and I think it should. He's somebody that've

31
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 4: been kind of targeting because I don't think ATM should

32
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 4: be an every down player.

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: So no Tank Dell. You're thinking of the Tank Bigsby.

34
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, different tanks.

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 4: Okay, I know it couldn't be more different physically. There's

36
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 4: not many tanks out there, but I just heard Tank.

37
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: One runs like a tank. The other one is nicknamed

38
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: tank even though he's only one hundred and seventy pounds, right.

39
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 4: Okay, it's a different take in different tank. Dell's great,

40
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: but they have, you know, two other good receivers and

41
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 4: Robert Woods, and they'll be okay. But I mean it's

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 4: getting a little frustrating, I'm sure as a Dell owner, because.

43
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: We're concerning for them. Matt is that Joe Mixon officially

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 2: a non participant on Wednesday.

45
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: Again, They're still not running the ball well this year either,

46
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 4: and Acres doesn't look great. I mean they were better

47
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: with mixing, that's for sure.

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he ran the ball well when he

49
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: was out there. Aaron Rodgers with a knee injury officially

50
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: limited on Wednesday.

51
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: That's probably just an old guy thing, but Rogers they

52
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 4: actually called it something.

53
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 2: He says he's dealing with some swelling in his knee.

54
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 4: He's an odd fella and he's older. But I mean

55
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 4: he was complaining about the weather and stuff this past week.

56
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 4: And it's really ugly, sloppy game against Denver, and now

57
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 4: they've got to go over the over pond, you know,

58
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 4: like for a nine to thirty am Eastern start.

59
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 3: I get to see him being grumpy about all of it,

60
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, They're just being.

61
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: Talking about the guy who had his amazing trip to Egypt. Yeah,

62
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 2: in mini camp. He couldn't be there, but he doesn't

63
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: want to go across the point. I don't who knows, right,

64
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: Travis ATM with a shoulder did it practice on this

65
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: springs tank into or tank?

66
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, basically might be a start. I mean that's a

67
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 4: bad team. But if at N's even limited with bye weeks,

68
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 4: I mean I got one dynasty league.

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: I didn't realize, like, my whole.

70
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: Swat is off this week, and plus injuries and you know,

71
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 4: in addition, so just to start digging pretty deep for

72
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 4: some of these rosters.

73
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram with the hamstring officially limited on Wednesday.

74
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 3: That's progress, though, that's progress even done.

75
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you need to see him get a full

76
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 2: practice in before you trust that one.

77
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: I mean we were talking tight ends to start the show.

78
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 4: He might be a nice addition. I mean I heard

79
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: Hawkinson's practicing again.

80
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 2: Yeah soon. I mean Friday is going to have a

81
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: full practice be the start of his clock. Yeah, right,

82
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: So he's probably still a couple weeks away, I.

83
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: Would imagine, but I maybe the tight end position is

84
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 4: getting a little infusion.

85
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 2: I think the vikings of their bye week. In a

86
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 2: couple of weeks, he probably comes back. Well, they're overseas too.

87
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: I bet it's next week. Yeah, I would bet. Uh.

88
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis limited on Wednesday. Tank Pigsby, the aforementioned Tank Higsby.

89
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: I'm just scrolling down here. He had a shoulder and

90
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: he's limited on Wednesday's practice.

91
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: Sikes. Well you already know my take on that. Then

92
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: no good news for the Jags. No, it's been a

93
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 4: rough year for the Jags.

94
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 2: Uh, surprise, surprise. Tron Armstead with concussion limited on Wednesday.

95
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: Never played a full season.

96
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 2: Uh he missed with last week's game with that concussion

97
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: limited for though, is a step in the right road. Yeah, yeah,

98
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: he play. Yeah. Skyler Thompson listed is limited on Wednesday.

99
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 2: It looks like it's going to be not a big

100
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 2: Huntly fan. But I think he's the better player, I guess.

101
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 2: I mean he's been doing Pro Bowl humorous. We've talked

102
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: about this on my my other podcast, that the second

103
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: two got hurt. I would have called up for Jimmy g.

104
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 2: I mean he knows the system, you know, give me somebody.

105
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 2: You're trying to get.

106
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: Tannehill off the street. I mean like something, you had

107
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 4: to do something more than you did.

108
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, And on the other side of that, Odell

109
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: Beckham practic full on Wednesday. Missed the first four games.

110
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter because they can't throw the football.

111
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 4: If Tyreek kills, I mean we're talking fantasy. If Tyreek

112
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 4: kill is now a wide receiver two.

113
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 2: And Water might be a wide receiver three right now.

114
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: So Odell's not close to being he's like a wide

115
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: receiver seven right right, right, Yeah, he's not even somebody

116
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,839

00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 2: They're bad. They're really bad. They're bad. Jeff Wilson Junior

119
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: a limited participant Wednesday for those bad Miami Dolphins.

120
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean again, it kind of made me crazy.

121
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: I'm even in a chan owner, but if that's your

122
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 4: goal line back, I'd been like, come on, man, you're

123
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 4: just bouncing off people.

124
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: I mean, get Wilson in there at least have some physicality.

125
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: Raheem Moster with the chest injury officially limited on Wednesday

126
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: as well. They need one of those two guys back.

127
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be nice. I'm putting hold my breath on.

128
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: Moster, David and Joku officially limited Wednesday's practice for the Browns.

129
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 2: So he's out there.

130
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: He's not one of these tight ends that might help

131
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: the position overall a little bit.

132
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: And I mean he's been out long enough since week

133
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: one that maybe there's some leagues he got cut in

134
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: that's possible.

135
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, So he's not the If it's Kelsey, you'd hold

136
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: on to it well, you know, I mean maybe Peter's

137
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:12,320

138
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: Jack Conklin's still sitting out and practices for the Browns

139
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. The right tackle, he's got a hamstring. They're

140
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: just all mess. Miles Garrett with the achilles now, before

141
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: it was all kinds of stuff, but I don't remember

142
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 2: them being listing achilles. It was a foot, then it

143
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: was an ankle. There was also a wrist in there,

144
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:36,239
Speaker 2: I think, or ribs.

145
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not a torn achilles or no, but

146
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 4: rarely do you have an achilles on the list. Yeah,

147
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 4: he's strained or what. Yeah, he missed practice Wednesday. Nick

Speaker 4: Chubb officially limited on Wednesday as he started his clock.

149
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 4: I'm rooting for him. I know he's a Brown, but

150
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 4: he's a really easy guy to root for. Hopefully comes

151
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 4: back and gets his career back to where it was.

152
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,520

Speaker 3: And they have a bad O line.

156
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, other nets pretty fine.

157
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 3: I'm not running out to pick him up. No, stash

158
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: him on my bench for.

159
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you, if you drafted him and stashed him

160
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 2: on your bench.

161
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 3: Or if you had an IR spot or something.

162
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 2: I guess. But Keenan Allen officially off the injury report

163
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, So it looks like he is now one

164
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: or as close to one hundred percent as he can

165
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: be healthy.

166
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 4: I don't know if that offense can support three receivers. Yeah,

167
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: I mean and in a tight end. Yeah, I mean

168
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: they ran the ball a little better, but somebody would

169
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 4: lose out on that, I would guess. I'm gonna guess

170
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: it's probably Comet.

171
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: I think Comet would really suffers.

172
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Which we've talked about the status of tight ends

173
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: in the league and it's not good. He's been okay,

174
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: you take him out of the equation. Yeah, what do

175
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: you got?

176
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 5: I know?

177
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: Uh?

178
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: Noah Brown with the with Washington officially Washington. Yeah, he's commanded.

179
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: He's a growing limited practice on Wednesday. Zach Ertz a

180
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: non participant on Wednesday, but that was for Rest. Yeah.

181
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: Cole Comett limited at practice on Wednesday. The aforementioned Cole Comett,

182
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: he's dealing with a knee.

183
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 3: Issue further hurts his tuck.

184
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: Austin Ekeler uh logged ay limited practice today. He's coming

185
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: back from a concussion. So that's a sign, that's a

186
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: step in the right direction.

187
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: I mean that offense puts up so many points. I

188
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 4: mean it was McNichols was the two last week and

189
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: he was usable. Nobody had him in their lineup. But

190
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: I might put Eckler in my lineup on a bye

191
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: week right now. Brian Robinson with a knee didn't practice today, so.

192
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: Maybe McNichols uh won't be right, right, So sister Christy, Yeah,

193
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: Christy McNichols, I know what you're talking about. Now, you're

194
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: starting a seventies. Yeah, I remember I was born well,

195
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: but I was young, and that was you know, yeah,

196
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 2: just say what you're saying. Yeah, uh, bentioned Brian Robinson.

197
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson, with the hip issue officially limited on Wednesday.

198
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 4: I assume they'll insert him right back in. That was

199
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 4: weird though, kind of like the Levis situation because he.

200
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: Here's the thing, so he gets hurt initially, Yeah, they

201
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: take him out for two plays, He comes back in,

202
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: calls his own number on another running play, and then

203
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: just kind of crumples to the ground, right, and they

204
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: got to come out and get him again. It might

205
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: be a little more serious than I mean. A hip

206
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: could be bad.

207
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I doubt it's just a bad bruise

208
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 3: or a bone bruise. It could be bad bad.

209
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hip pointers are not They're painful. I've had them before. Yeah,

210
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: not fun. And he's a runner, and he's a runner.

211
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 2: That's just significant for him.

212
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 3: If he can't be in my top twelve right now.

213
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: No limited, No, I mean, I don't know he's in

214
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: your top twelve regardless, right right, but certainly not. Mike

215
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 2: Evans cleared to go. He is good to go for

216
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: Thursday night's game, So that's good news for them. Ray

217
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: Ray mccoud on the other side of that, good to go. Yeah,

218
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: Falcons versus Tampa Bay buccaneersh that's not a bad th Yeah.

219
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: Kalishah Cansey will not play defensively for them. For the Buccaneers,

220
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: Luke get Key with a concussion available, but Tristan works

221
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 2: good to go, Okay, So okay, that's your injuries for

222
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 2: this this game looking here. Jordan Love officially limited it

223
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: practice on Wednesday, but they're gonna they're gonna monitor him.

224
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: That's I wouldn't get too crazy about that. Luke Musgrove,

225
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: though was limited or was sidelined at practice on Wednesday.

226
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 3: I think he's played for a couple of weeks, right.

227
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tucker Craft is a guy that's well when Musgrave

228
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 2: hasn't played in the past. Yeah, Craft has seen a

229
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: little bit of a spike.

230
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

231
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 4: I don't know what to make of that Tay situation.

232
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 4: I really like both players a lot.

233
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, they just kind of it's almost it's almost the

234
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 2: Raiders situation where with Bowers and Mayor.

235
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, they almost need Adams to get traded. Yeah, but

236
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 4: I don't think Adam's gonna play on a game.

237
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: I don't think so either, not from everything that's happened.

238
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 2: Deontay Johnson dealing with some minor ankle soreness, but he

239
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: has been very playable the last two weeks.

240
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Yeah, I mean he's open all the time

241
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 4: like he was here, and he's got a professional quarterback

242
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 4: getting on the ball.

243
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 3: He's a definite starter.

244
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah. Damian Pierce did not practice again on Wednesday for

245
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans. He's dealing with the hamstring the acres again.

246
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: He hasn't done anything no with that. Michael Mayer, who

247
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 2: had just mentioned he's dealing with something personal and there's

248
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 2: no timetable for his return.

249
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 3: Oh really so.

250
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 4: Interesting? Yeah, yeah, I might guess that helps Bowers a little. Yeah,

251
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 4: but it's not like Bowers off the field very much.

252
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. DeVante Adams of course not practicing on Wednesday. Pierre

253
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 2: Strong with the hamstring, participated in practice for the Cleveland Browns.

254
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: Khalil Shakir with an ankle, did not practice today.

255
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 4: I think he's their most valuable receiver. Yeah, it's not

256
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 4: and slam dunk starter for fantasy, but he's at least

257
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 4: a wide receiver three every week I guess. I mean

258
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 4: with some buys this week, he might be a two. Yeah,

259
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 4: and he definitely helps Alan. I mean he's their best guy. Yeah,

260
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 4: he looks good too.

261
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: They're saying t J. Hawkinson could return by week seven.

262
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: Of course that would be the Yeah, well that would

263
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 2: be if he starts practicing on Friday, that would be.

264
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: I assume they're off next week since they're in London.

265
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: According to Robert Sala, Bristall will maintain his short yardage role.

266
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: He had ten carries for four yards on Sunday. Was

267
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: bad as an ugly game, but still still right. And

268
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: Alan the backup is pretty good. Yeah so, and he's

269
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: only seems like more of the short yardage type. And

270
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 2: he's a big back, that's the other thing about it,

271
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: like kind of straight line power guy. Yeah. Uh, Kendrick

272
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 2: Bourne had his twenty one day practice window opened. You

273
00:12:54,080 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 2: interested it all in, Kendrick Bourne? No, yeah, really me either.

274
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 3: Definitely do better than that.

275
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: Laramie Tunsall not practicing Wednesday for the Houston Texans.

276
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: That's not going to help the run game, No, not

277
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: at all.

278
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook will remain on the practice squad this week.

279
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: I was wondering if he might get out all.

280
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

281
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 4: So, I mean that's for fantasy. I don't think any

282
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 4: of them are usable. And that's what maybe the least

283
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 4: useful fantasy backfield in the league.

284
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any doubt about it. Yeah, because

285
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: nobody has a clear defined role necessarily, and they don't

286
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: run the ball particularly well.

287
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 3: And even what's his name is now the third down back.

288
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: Newer dude, this is worth noting. Trey Hendrickson considered day

289
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: to day. Wow for the Cincinnati Bengals.

290
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: That's the only good thing on the bad defense right now.

291
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that would be very troubling for Cincinnati, which really

292
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: needs to win this week.

293
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 4: Really needs to win this week. They have the Ravens,

294
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 4: right yeah, man at home. Yeah yeah, he's one of

295
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 4: the most important players, there's no question.

296
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. If he can't go, I don't know what they have.

297
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: They just there's none a lot there.

298
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 3: No defense will get run on like crazy probably no.

299
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: Matter what final thing here. Trey McBride returned to practice

300
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. I if you a dealing with a concussion other.

301
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 3: Tight end spike, you know, right, I mean he's as

302
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 3: good as any of them right now.

303
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean he gets peppered with targets and their

304
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: offense needed him.

305
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

306
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 2: I was shocked how little their.

307
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 4: Offense did against Washington. But yeah, I'm not bailing on it.

308
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 4: I mean I still think it's a good offense.

309
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's he's a guy that he's important.

310
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah. I mean if we were redrafting now, would

311
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 2: he be tight end one?

312
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: I think so. Yeah.

313
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 4: Kelsey, with the injury to Rice, is now more exciting

314
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 4: than he was a week ago. But he wasn't exciting

315
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 4: a week ago. No, you know, I don't know how

316
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: much Kelsey can stand too.

317
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: If we redrafted break now Pat Freermouth like a top

318
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: seven or eight tight end. Wow, who's ahead of them? Bowers, Goddard,

319
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 2: Kelsey McBride.

320
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 4: Kinkaid hasn't done anything, but I probably would take him

321
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 4: ahead of him, Ferguson.

322
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 2: Ferguson's been good.

323
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm there's probably Kittle.

324
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 4: Kittle really hasn't done much, No, I know, but I

325
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 4: don't know who i'd take if it was from here.

326
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: These guys are dealing with injuries and now.

327
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 4: Messy, yeah, real messy. Ingram should be back soon, but

328
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if I take him over them. Certain

329
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 4: the state of that team.

330
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, their passing game might be broke. Yeah, I mean

331
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 2: in the joke, who's kind of the same way. You know,

332
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: it's terrible. So I don't want anything. I don't want

333
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 2: any Browns.

334
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 4: I don't want any Browns, right, I mean he would

335
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 4: be definitely a top ten type of guy.

336
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean not Andrews, certainly, not Andrews, not not

337
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: even likely.

338
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 4: No, not Pits, not likely. A lot of guys that

339
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 4: you're counting on are not count honorable. Yeah, So how

340
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: about this weird situation. It's it's the same thing in

341
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 4: the league we're in. I have Racey Rice and my

342
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 4: only tight end is Andrews. Yes, and I'm gonna cut Pits.

343
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 4: Maybe I'll pick him up or Taysom Hill, but he's

344
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 4: heard or whatever. I'm gonna I want somebody. I really

345
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 4: don't want to cut anybody. And I'm afraid to cut

346
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 4: Racie Rice now because there's all this talk that maybe

347
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 4: it's not as bad as we think. Like, I don't

348
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 4: want him. I'm holding him at least another week or

349
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 4: another couple of days. Like it's kind of a weird

350
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 4: situation because they haven't put him on IR and there's

351
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 4: talk that maybe the injury's not as bad as it looked, but.

352
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 6: It looked horrible.

353
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: Everyone in the world assumes he's done for the year.

354
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, but if I put him on waivers and you

355
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 4: pick him up in a week, and then I'll.

356
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: Be sad, you know.

357
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 2: But I got to hold him for a day or

358
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't think he plays in the next four weeks.

359
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: I don't think he plays in the next six weeks.

360
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: I don't think he plays the rest of the year.

361
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 4: To be deep down, but I'm not making that mistake,

362
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 4: you know.

363
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 2: I'm waiting till you might lose out on a tight end.

364
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's not even really good ones out there, though.

365
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 3: I might just start Andrews and you can.

366
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 2: He's a field you can pick up pits.

367
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, souring on pits too. Usage hasn't been great. I mean,

368
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 4: I don't know. I'm still kicking it around though. I'm

369
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 4: just telling owners of Rice. He's probably a ninety eight

370
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 4: percent chance safe to cut. But there's funny business going

371
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 4: on right now. Yeah, they have not declared him out

372
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 4: for the year. Put him on IR.

373
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 2: Well, there's no rush to do it because you know,

374
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 2: they can wait until all the way till Friday, then

375
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,640
Speaker 2: call somebody up or do something, you know, something along

376
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 2: those lines.

377
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm doing, is I'm I'll pick up

378
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 4: a tight end on Saturday morning when they put him

379
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 4: on IR.

380
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: You know, all right, well know, yeah, it's just some

381
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 2: of the games that, yeah, the teams play, the stuff works, absolutely.

382
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 2: He is Matt Williamson Thursday. He does play Thursday. That

383
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 2: doesn't do any good. That's going to do it for

384
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 2: the fantasy football focus. He's Matt Williamson. I'm dale LOLLI.

385
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: You're listening to the drive here on the Steelers Audio Network.

386
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: We will be back with more right after this.

387
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: At least he's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

388
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: will on your twenty four to seven home of the

389
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 1: Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

390
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I am Dale Lowlly, he is the Matt

391
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 2: Williamson and Matt we haven't looked the last couple of

392
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: weeks here at Dan Pezuda's quarterback round. Okay, thirty third team.

393
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: He does a good job.

394
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, Dan does do a good job.

395
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 2: So I thought we'd take a look at that now

396
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 2: and see where where's Justin Fields come in at on

397
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 2: this and it might be lower than some Steeler fans

398
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 2: would think.

399
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm kind of actually.

400
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: Surprised that he's as low as he is with some

401
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 2: of the guys who are ahead of him. Number thirty

402
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 2: two however, on Dan Pezuda's list on a thirty third team, well,

403
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: that would be Bo Nicks who threw for did I

404
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: mention he threw from minus seven yards and.

405
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 3: All you like, no sacks? To me?

406
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 2: Is crazy?

407
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 3: That is crazy.

408
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 2: That's that might be the craziest stat I've ever seen

409
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,400
Speaker 2: in the NFL games. Really hard because you don't get negative,

410
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: is you don't get negative yards on the quarterback for

411
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: a sack. It goes against the team, right, right, right,

412
00:18:59,480 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 2: right right.

413
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 4: He completed signed the line of scrimmage and someone has

414
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 4: to run around and get tackled.

415
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 2: Yea, right. He completed seven passes for negative seven yards

416
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 2: for his long pass, I looked at I looked at

417
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 2: him like wow, I think his long pass was two

418
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: yards two.

419
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 4: That being said, isn't he better than the Miami guys,

420
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I assume they're good. He picks the thirty two,

421
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 4: he thinks, so he.

422
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 2: Picks the thirty two starters. Yeah, yeah, I would say so.

423
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: But that was pretty bad.

424
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just as bad as it gets.

425
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 4: He hasn't even looked a little bit better, like no

426
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 4: one of the I'm not compare him to Daniels, who

427
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 4: we're not gonna talk about for a while, I'm sure,

428
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 4: but they both played a ton of college football. They

429
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 4: should look a little more actively. He should look a

430
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 4: little more acclimated the league.

431
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: Nicks is tied for second in the NFL with nineteen

432
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: broken up passes. Defense is just sitting on the short

433
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: passes and yeah, go ahead, try to throw it over

434
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 2: the top.

435
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, all this efficiency. You know, short throws. People catch

436
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 4: on that stuff pretty quick.

437
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. Number thirty one again not in Miami Dolphins quarterback.

438
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 2: It's DeShawn Watson. He's horrendous.

439
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 4: I tweeted out some EPA stuff today which actually had

440
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 4: paints or paints field is in a really good light.

441
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 4: But Watson was last, I mean last.

442
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 2: That's what he's put on the field, and the worst

443
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 2: contract in NFL history and trade probably yeah, which compounds

444
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: ends down. Number thirty is Tyler Huntley.

445
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean Huntley's at least been around the league

446
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: and did is Okay, he's been a Pro Bowl guy.

447
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, had that thrown out there a lot of

448
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: well he went to the Pro Bowl. Oh okay, he's good.

449
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 2: You're right.

450
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 4: He was watching that game the other night. They interviewed

451
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: Tyreek before. He's like, we got a Pro Bow quarterback.

452
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 4: We're fine.

453
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

454
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,239
Speaker 3: You keep telling yourself that, Yeah you can.

455
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 2: Then you yelling at teammates on the sidelines when he

456
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: doesn't get the ball. Twenty nine. This is up from

457
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: thirty Will Levis. This tells you how bad the three

458
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 2: guys behind him have been because he didn't do anything

459
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 2: to go up.

460
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 4: Well, no, he got hurt, but he belongs though. No, Yeah,

461
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 4: I mean Levis and Knicks are in the same neighborhood.

462
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 4: Levis has more bright spots but less awful spots or

463
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: more af spots.

464
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 2: At twenty eight, up from twenty nine last week. Is

465
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew Steelers will see him next week.

466
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have a problem with that. Maybe how

467
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 4: to have him higher? Well, I really think he's a backup.

468
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me who's who you'd have hired him higher

469
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: than I'd say him and Brissett would be close at

470
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: twenty seven. Down a spot is Bresette.

471
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: Okay, And I mean they're the backups.

472
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 2: I like a lot.

473
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: If you put don't like a lot.

474
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: If you put Brissette with minshe's the talent around Minshew,

475
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: there'd be nowhere to go. But up I set would

476
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 2: be a lot better than Minshew. It's my point.

477
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you meant would be a lot better.

478
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: Even without Devonte Adams in there, you still have You

479
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: still have Jacoby Myers, you still have brock Bauers. You

480
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: still have guys to get the football too. Bresset, of anybody,

481
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 2: he's a tackling d me right now. Yeah, I mean

482
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: he's just kidding. Their offensive line is hideous. They just

483
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 2: lost David Andrews for the season.

484
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 4: Oh I didn't know that. Wow, Yeah, it's been They're

485
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 4: on the same tier to me. But I do prefer

486
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 4: ber set.

487
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: At twenty six down from twenty five as Daniel Jones.

488
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 2: Mind you, he's coming off the game that he had

489
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 2: against the Cowboys where he completed like eighty percent of

490
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: his passes.

491
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's good, but people are a little

492
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 4: hard on him. You high pick big Apple, you know.

493
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 2: Like again, there's numbers against Trevor Lawrence's numbers in this Yeah,

494
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: guys drafted the same year. They're almost identical. We're gonna

495
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: sit and we're not going to see Trevor Lawrence for

496
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: a while. On this list, Jones has had an equal

497
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 2: season to the Lawrence. Yeah. Twenty five down from twenty

498
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 2: four is Andy Dalton probably climbing.

499
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 3: I mean, I think he's won the best thirty two

500
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 3: on the planet right now.

501
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 2: That's kind of scary. At twenty four down from twenty

502
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 2: one is Anthony Richardson.

503
00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 3: I think you have to put lower.

504
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 2: At twenty three. Holding steady is justin Fields. I would

505
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 2: have him higher twenty three is pretty rough. It's pretty rough.

506
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: I would have him for the way.

507
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: That he is playing, and I got people think that

508
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 2: I hate Justin Fields or something. No, he's playing well.

509
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 4: He's playing well, and he's doing a lot of the

510
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 4: little things right. Andy adds a lot with his legs.

511
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 4: Let this world through the next couple I see how

512
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 4: much further up I would.

513
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 2: Have twenty two holding steady as Caleb Williams. Justin Fields

514
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 2: has been said a much better year though, He's been

515
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 2: much better than Caleb Williams.

516
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 4: And we're not talking about who you want to build

517
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 4: your team around, right right, I mean who's field's had

518
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 4: a better year.

519
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: Twenty one down from sixteen is Kirk Cousins.

520
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: I don't know where you put him. I mean he's

521
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 4: kind of been rocky, but he's kind of trustworthy. I mean,

522
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: you talk about career.

523
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: Twenty down from nineteen is Derek Carr.

524
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 4: Car has had a better year in all those guys.

525
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 4: He's calmed down. He's coming back to earth drastically. Yeah,

526
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 4: first two or three weeks though he was.

527
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: Like seven on one of the ESAA, which we knew

528
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 2: was not going to hold up. But this one at nineteen.

529
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 2: Down from eighteen is Sam Darnald.

530
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 3: He's been way better than that.

531
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 2: He's been better than that.

532
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would definitely have him the highest of aimor

533
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 3: with I.

534
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:19,920
Speaker 2: Think he's the only quarterback in the league has thrown

535
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: at least two touchdown passes in every game this year.

536
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 4: I think you're right. Very I mean, once in a

537
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 4: while he has a crazy moment. Yeah, you know he

538
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 4: always will well.

539
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: Eighteen though, down from fourteen is Trevor Lawrence. Trevor Lawrence

540
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 2: doesn't low. He should be much lower than that. I

541
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: don't care.

542
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 3: I've always backed him, but I mean he's laying badly.

543
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 4: He's playing badly right this is You could always make

544
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 4: excuses for him that it's his surroundings.

545
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 3: This year you can't.

546
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 2: And so there are still so many high level traits

547
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: with Trevor Lawrence, but he's continually regressed in accuracy and

548
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 2: decision making this season. I don't care what tradeshe Sam

549
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 2: Darnold has lots of traits too, right.

550
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 4: I mean, it's be a different conversation if we were

551
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 4: drafting all these guys for what you're going to do

552
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 4: going forward, Yeah, not what they are are today and

553
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 4: what they've done this year.

554
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: What they put on what you put on the field

555
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: is your legacy, it's your resume. It's zero wins, and

556
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 2: it's a lot of his resume. Has not been good

557
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 2: this year. No, it wasn't good really last year.

558
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 4: No, it's better. I mean he's going backwards. Yeah, I'm

559
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 4: not ready to put him in like Watson Land.

560
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: No. No, Right at seventeen up from nineteen Baker Mayfield.

561
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 3: Is that pretty good year? I probably would have him higher.

562
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, at sixteen up from twenty as Jaden Daniels, that's fair.

563
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 3: I think he's been better.

564
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 2: They've been better than that. He's been better than everybody

565
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: below him at it to this point, completing eighty percent

566
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: of his passes.

567
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 3: I mean's he been better than Aaron Rodgers?

568
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 4: Yes, I say I think the answer is yes, Yes, Yeah,

569
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,679
Speaker 4: I mean and some guys that you just count on,

570
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 4: you know.

571
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's been much better. He's you know, again,

572
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: if we had a redraft right now of this, he

573
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,880
Speaker 2: goes higher than sixteenth. Yeah, if even if you throw

574
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 2: he's tell the teams at the end of the season,

575
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 2: we're gonna throw everybody back into a barrel. And you

576
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: got to redraft it again. Yeah, and try to win

577
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 2: this year. Win this year with it. With this quarterback, he.

578
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 4: Could have gone over everybody we've talked about. Yeah, and

579
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,400
Speaker 4: probably several more.

580
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. At fifteen down from twelve, Jalen Hurts. He's not

581
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 2: playing well.

582
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: I'm losing faith. I think they're gonna regret that contract.

583
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not played well. No. At fourteen up from fifteen,

584
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 2: Jared Goff. He couldn't have played any better.

585
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 4: He was phenomenal, but the first couple of games were

586
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 4: not right. Yeah, so I think that's proper, but he'll

587
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 4: probably keep moving up.

588
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: At thirteen down from eleven is Aaron Rodgers.

589
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 3: He I mean, it's not like he's the problem.

590
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: He's played okay, but he's not elevating anyone around him. Yeah,

591
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:55,120
Speaker 2: he's not that guy.

592
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 4: He's not the playmaker anymore. You know, he'd be a

593
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 4: tough one for me to rank, But like Mayfields, probably a.

594
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 3: Better year than him.

595
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Daniel certainly has. Yeah.

596
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

597
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 2: At twelve down from thirteen is Brock Purdy.

598
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: I think that's fair. He's played quite well.

599
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:13,679
Speaker 2: That's not right because he says last week he was

600
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 2: thirteen and he has him the down number on him.

601
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: That's actually up.

602
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 3: Okay, well he's been writing that neighborhood.

603
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh eleven. He wasn't ranked last week. He was

604
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: number nine in week one, which tells you who it is.

605
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: It's short and love.

606
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 3: That's fair. Yeah, yeah, he's a big time player.

607
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 2: I mean he warmed up as the game went on

608
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 2: last week and got better with earlier. Yeah. At ten

609
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 2: down from nine is Kyler Murray did not have a strong.

610
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 4: Show, great game. I might have him a little lower

611
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 4: like Daniels outplayed him this year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

612
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:51,040
Speaker 4: played him last week.

613
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, at nine up from ten Gino Smith.

614
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,879
Speaker 3: I'm there with him. He's been really really good this year.

615
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's playing well. At eight holding Steady is Joe Burrow.

616
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 3: I think that's fair. I don't think he's three or

617
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 3: four at the.

618
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 2: Moment now, he's not right, he's not playing his best. No.

619
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 2: At seven holding Steady is Justin Herbert. I have Burrow

620
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: ahead of Herbert right now.

621
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 3: That's a tough one. I mean he's playing so hobbled.

622
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: He's effective, he has bad weapons, but I'd have to

623
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 2: put him lower. Yeah, I mean they've scored the last

624
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 2: two weeks ten in what they have against the Steelers

625
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 2: ten and ten.

626
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: The passing game hasn't been.

627
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 2: Great all year.

628
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, even when they were undefeated and they came here.

629
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 2: At eight or I'm sorry six down from five. The

630
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 2: guy the Steelers are going to see this week, Dak Prescott.

631
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,239
Speaker 4: I'm okay with that. I mean, I think when it's

632
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 4: all said and done, he'll be seven or eight, not

633
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 4: top five. The Burrows and some of those people might

634
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 4: go past them. But he's a really good player. Yeah,

635
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 4: this is any running game, he said.

636
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: He got the ball out quickly and averaged two point

637
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: four seconds last week, and it worked the short area

638
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 2: of the field with seventy percent of his throws between

639
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: one to ten air yards. Okay, last week against the Giants, Now,

640
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: they only scored twenty of the twenty points I think so. Yeah,

641
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: they won twenty to fifteen against the Giants defense. It's

642
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: almost like they're they're using those short passing game as

643
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 2: their running game.

644
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I say, I think it just helps them control

645
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 4: the football, put it in your best, you know, best

646
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 4: player's hands.

647
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 2: Him and Lamb.

648
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 4: I also think it's a little bit of an indictment

649
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 4: on their protection too. Yeah, you know, like they have

650
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 4: a big time into your presence like Hayward, and they

651
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 4: have two big time outside rushers and giants. Neither ones

652
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 4: is good as TJ. But I would bet that Dallas

653
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 4: does a lot of that in this game.

654
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, that comes out.

655
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: It's gonna come out quick.

656
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

657
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 2: Number five, up from six last week is CJ. Stroud.

658
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 4: He's been phenomenal. Yeah, I mean, there's no running game.

659
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 4: It's he's not the problem at all.

660
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

661
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 2: At four, holding steady is Matthew Stafford.

662
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 3: I'm another one. He's got no help.

663
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 4: It's hard to be that's really high up there, but

664
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 4: he's got no help. He's got no blocking. They do anything,

665
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 4: it's because of him for the most part. But I

666
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 4: probably would have him a couple spots lower.

667
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: At three is Lamar Jackson. He's not even throwing the

668
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 2: ball now, and when they when they are throwing the ball,

669
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 2: they're not throwing it necessarily downfield. And he doesn't look

670
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 2: the same to me this year.

671
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 3: It's a little different.

672
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 2: He's passing up some throws. He's not again a lot

673
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: of I mean, the big part of their passing game

674
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: last week was just dumping it off to the running backs.

675
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 3: I still would have him three, though. I mean he's

676
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 3: hard to play.

677
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 2: Again, we're talking about quarterbacks. But if you want to

678
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: make that argument, then you've gotta have Fields higher.

679
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 4: Oh, I think fields needs to be higher either way.

680
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 4: I mean, of course Fields isn't in this neighborhood. But yeah, yeah,

681
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 4: Lamar would still be my three.

682
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 2: You gotta have Jayden Daniels higher. Yeah, yeah, yeah, somebody's

683
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: other running quarterback. Yeah.

684
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 3: And in terms of how hard are they to play against,

685
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: Lamar is still really hard to play.

686
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: But he's throwing fifteen passes a game. Would you be

687
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: interested Devonte Adams if you were them? No, because I don't.

688
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know that they want to change

689
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 2: what they're doing. I mean it's working. I don't know

690
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: if they want to run Lamar as much as they are.

691
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 3: But I did a list of ten teams that should

692
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 3: at least call about Adams, and Baltimore was one.

693
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 2: I mean they could use him, yeah, for sure, But

694
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 2: I don't know that they I don't know that they

695
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: would use him.

696
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think he'd get He wouldn't.

697
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 2: You'd be happy he wouldn't get the number of targets

698
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: he would be happy.

699
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 4: With no nobody, let no receivers like to go there

700
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 4: for three years.

701
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

702
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 5: Uh.

703
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 2: Two is Josh Allen. Yeah, one is Patrick Mahomes. I

704
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: would have Alan over Mahomes right now. I would.

705
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're see that's hard because I was

706
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 4: about to say, if you're judging on what they've done

707
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 4: this year, Mahomes will be like thirteen.

708
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean. But are you're going

709
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 3: to respect them and say he's a goat or or not?

710
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: You know what I mean. But we're seeing some of

711
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: that with some of these other guys. You know, Burrow's

712
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: not typically Burrow's in your top five.

713
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: Well he's at eight, which is about where he's playing.

714
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: Mahomes has thrown four interceptions in four games. He's not

715
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 2: been great. He's only he's got six touchdown pass.

716
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 4: I think Allan's been the best player in the league,

717
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 4: and it would be by MVP right now.

718
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: He's doing more worth less right now.

719
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 4: I also think even like coming into this year, Allen

720
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 4: was closer to Mahomes than people want to realize. I mean,

721
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 4: like they do on the same resume.

722
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 3: Super Bowl victory, Yeah, I get it. I mean I

723
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 3: mean a Mahomes superstar.

724
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mahomes. But you know, if we're going to do

725
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: lists like this, then don't call it quarterback rankings. Call

726
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 2: it Patrick Mahomes and everybody else. That's kind of what

727
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 2: he deserves though. I mean, but he's not played that way.

728
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 2: But if we were saying who do you want? If

729
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 2: we just next week, if we just put the stats up,

730
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: he's done, you know, versus everybody.

731
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 3: I mean, he would be thirteen or he would be fifteen.

732
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 2: You know, he's not having a better year than Geno Smith.

733
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 3: No, not even close. I'm just want to pull this

734
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 3: up real quick.

735
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: Okay, get right ahead.

736
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 4: This was that really nerdy thing I put I just

737
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 4: retweeted of No, you did a nerdy of urda stuff

738
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 4: and their rankings go Daniels one, Purty Burrow, Donald, Alan, Gino,

739
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 4: Kyler Fields, Fields is like it's seven right above Lamar,

740
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.

741
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 3: And Mahomes is middle of the road. I mean he's

742
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: low on this one.

743
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: I mean, Sam Darnald is completing sixty nine percent of

744
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 2: his passes. He has eleven touchdown passes on a height

745
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: and six attempts.

746
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been phenomenal. I mean, he's had a better

747
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 4: year Mahomes. Yeah, I mean that, but no one's gonna

748
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 4: put Sam Darnold's over Mahomes on cour No.

749
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 2: By the way, they're four and o two. You know

750
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: that's yeah.

751
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, It's not like he's garbage timing it up or

752
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 4: anything like that, or you know. I mean, Daniel's numbers

753
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 4: are as good as anybody. It's completion percentage for the root.

754
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: He's the reason why they're in first place right now.

755
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I don't know I would do

756
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 4: my Homes and everybody else though, I would have done

757
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 4: it the same way, but I probably would in my

758
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 4: write up say he's playing like a mediocre starter.

759
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 3: Man.

760
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 2: He kind of did say he's, you know, playing not

761
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 2: playing well right now. That doesn't mean he can't.

762
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,240
Speaker 3: But or won't.

763
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 4: You know what if he plays this way all season,

764
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 4: then you started dropping him. Yeah, then he started worrying

765
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 4: a little bit, you know.

766
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: Anyways, let's get to a break. He is the Matt Williamson.

767
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 2: I am Dale, Lolly. You're listening to the driver here

768
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 2: in the Steelers audio network. When we come back. I

769
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: sat down with a Steelers defensive back today and had

770
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 2: a little chat with him. We'll hear who that was

771
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 2: right after this.

772
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 1: At least he's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

773
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

774
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:52,479
Speaker 1: Black and Golds in Steelers Nation Radio.

775
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: And we are back. I'm Dale Lolly, he is the

776
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and Matt. One of the guys who's kind

777
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 2: of flown under the radar during the Steelers start here

778
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 2: to me has been Dante Jackson. Yeah, despite everything that

779
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: was going on around him last week, I thought he

780
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 2: actually played really well last week against the Colts.

781
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 3: I think he's played well every week.

782
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

783
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 3: I think he's a high quality starting corner.

784
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:25,319
Speaker 2: If you look at it thus far, he's given up

785
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 2: ten completions on nineteen pass attempts for one hundred and

786
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 2: eighteen yards. He had no touchdowns allowed in an interception.

787
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 2: That's a fifty two point six percent completion rate. Passer

788
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 2: rating when teams have targeted him is forty nine point nine.

789
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 3: Okay, which is really good. It's really good. I'm not

790
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 3: even shocked by that.

791
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 4: I mean I would have guessed his numbers are high quality,

792
00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. We know Porter gets the

793
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,399
Speaker 4: one a high percent of the time, but they also

794
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 4: play a ton of cover three, you know, and he.

795
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 2: And Porter's not been targeted. He's only been targeted eleven times. Okay,

796
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 2: so you know, again, they played four games, means Jackson

797
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 2: is getting two more targets per game to Porter, but

798
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 2: he's holding up in that in that situation.

799
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 4: Well, I mean, you'll definitely take it. I mean, he's

800
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 4: a good tackler. I know he's a little thinner. I

801
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 4: didn't know how physical he'd be, but he relishes it

802
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 4: and he comes up, plays a run, He run really well.

803
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 4: He's a versatile guy. So he's been a really good addition.

804
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely why I sat down and talked to Dante Jackson today.

805
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 2: So let's let's hear what Dante had to say.

806
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 7: I'm assuming you faced the Cowboys before.

807
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, what kind of challenges a CD.

808
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 6: He's a he's a great player, one of the best,

809
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 6: you know, offensive players in this league.

810
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 5: Production level through the roof, skill skill level through the roof. Yeah,

811
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 5: he's a I guess he's just a great player.

812
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 6: Man. He's a guy who can make every catch, guy

813
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 6: can run every route, even run run the ball in

814
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 6: the backfield. So yeah, he's very dynamic player.

815
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: And they'll move him around over the formation if he

816
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,280
Speaker 2: he doesn't stay static.

817
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 6: No, no, yeah, definitely moveing around. Definitely, he's gotta put

818
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 6: eyes on him. But I'm sure that's a game plan

819
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 6: he's used to facing. Yeah, it's gonna just take an

820
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 6: all eleven efforts.

821
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: I saw some stats on on Jack Prescott today. He's

822
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 2: been actually better when pressured this season. That's not something

823
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 2: that usually happens with quarterbacks, but that's when his numbers

824
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 2: were pressured and much better than when he's not been pressured.

825
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 5: I mean, that is one of the best in the

826
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 5: league for a reason.

827
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 6: Uh, He's a guy who rarely makes mistakes. He's a

828
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 6: very efficient, very great passer, tight windows, long ball.

829
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 5: I mean, he can do everything. He's just he's a

830
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:29,200
Speaker 5: great quarterback.

831
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 2: In terms of of what you guys are going on

832
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 2: the back end, it was the last week kind of

833
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 2: a blip.

834
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,320
Speaker 7: I know, you had to you get some bbs down.

835
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 2: The field last week, but overall for the secondary, is

836
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 2: that kind of a blip in the radar there?

837
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 7: Just it seemed like maybe an inch or an inch there,

838
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 7: and you.

839
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 6: Guys, yeah, I mean, yeah, that's the NFL, though, you

840
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 6: know you'd be close to close to making plays. The

841
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 6: the room for ever is really really small in this league.

842
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 5: But yeah, that that doesn't deter us from our work.

843
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 6: You know, we got to put in some work this

844
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 6: this week going against a great offense. So that's just

845
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 6: you know, just sticking down to the execution, sticking down

846
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 6: to the scheme, and just get ready to work take

847
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 6: advantage of these days.

848
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: You fin fishing a team in Dallas that hasn't run

849
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 2: the ball real well, so they've kind of been very

850
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: on the passion games that put the.

851
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 7: Secondary even a little bit more on unnoticed this week.

852
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 6: No, no, it's a veteran play caller. I'm sure that

853
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 6: you know you count the two games they were behind.

854
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,399
Speaker 6: You know, you can't really just put that all on

855
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 6: the fact that they don't want to run the ball.

856
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 5: They definitely can't go run the ball.

857
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 6: Really good balanced backfield and a lot of great playmakers

858
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 6: if you include the wide receivers who run the ball

859
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 6: as well. So yeah, it's just like I said, it's

860
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 6: gonna take all eleven effort. This is a great play callers,

861
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 6: great offense, a lot of great players, great quarterback and yeah,

862
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 6: we just got to just gonna take all eleven to

Speaker 6: gonna be good to get back in front of home

Speaker 6: crowd something.

871

Speaker 5: So yeah, looking forward to it.

Speaker 2: You know, the first month of the season was on

891
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 2: the road.

892
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean it doesn't take a whole lot

893
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 4: of math to figure it out. They got a lot

894
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 4: of road games, or a lot of road games out

895
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 4: of the way, and a lot of home games that

896
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:10,959
Speaker 4: settle in and put some winning street together.

897
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,399
