It is the four hundred and 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.240 twenty three leaning of the stats over Beat Cipher where 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.360 we help you win your leagues and win that cash, 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.120 and we try to put a little fun and functional 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.039 sports content. At the same time. We got a big 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:13.640 show for you. Week fourteen of the NFL season is 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.240 almost in the books. We got Monday Night Football. We'll 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:17.800 talk about that and what looks like it's gonna be 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:21.520 taking place from a rainy Philadelphia. And you know what, Danny, 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.400 it's weird because I thought it was always sunny in Philadelphia. 0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:27.520 So we gotta figure that one out. But we will 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.720 do what we usually do here on a Monday, and 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:34.440 it's incredibly important because it is playoff time in fantasy football, 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:39.959 all right, and so everything becomes magnified. All the injuries 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.600 that happened, the game of inches that happened, right, the 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.400 next man up that happened, this is all magnified now 0:01:47.440 --> 0:01:52.120 that you are in a must win scenario. Moving forward. Okay, 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:55.600 I personally started this season and like I think seven 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.360 or eight leagues, I was in five playoffs. I still, 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.360 you know, I'm live in some of them. I had 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.600 byes in some of them. I don't like how it 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:06.440 went to be quite honest, I have one team that 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.080 I was all good because I had a by, right, Yeah, 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.520 that team had Mike Evans on it. That team had 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.440 DeVante Parker on it. You know what I mean. That 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:18.120 team I'm struggling with guys like James Conner on it. 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:21.399 So the by did not necessarily help. But we'll get 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.839 into that. I'm speaking about some of these names. Let's 0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.079 start there. These are the names you need to know 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.400 next week and watch them because there was a boatload. 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.400 It seemed like a mash unit last week, Like there 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:35.079 are some weeks when I'm preparing here and we're talking 0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.000 about like the waiver wire, and I'm like, there's not 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.840 that many places you need to pivot because there weren't 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.760 too many injuries. I can't say that yesterday, and it 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:45.720 seemed like they all happened in the one o'cock games 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:50.040 and like bang bang bang, All right, So DeVante Parker 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.560 he got concussed and left in the second quarter. Remember 0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:54.960 I've been riding that streak with him, and so have 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.200 you if you've been following this been statistician. He got concussed. 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.160 Darius Guice, you know we loved areus guys? Oh and 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.160 by the way, I gave out the prop bet on 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.440 Darius Geice yesterday it was over forty and a half. 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:09.440 It went up to forty one and a half. Dude 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:12.200 had five carries for forty two yards before he had 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.120 the knee injury. That's why you got a shop around. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:17.520 There were some books where you had to get that 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.560 at forty three, forty four yards and even wind up 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.720 with forty two before getting banged out with a knee injury, 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.600 which looks like it's gonna be an issue. Looks like 0:03:25.600 --> 0:03:28.640 he's gonna miss time. Mike Evans with the hamstring. Bruce 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.560 Arians came out and said today looks like he's probably 0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:34.000 gonna be done for the year with only three weeks left. 0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.880 That sucks. Mark Andrews with the knee. They saying he 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.880 may have avoided serious issues because it may be just 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.560 a contusion. Mark Andrew's the great tight end now second 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.000 year tight end of the Baltimore Ravens. The tight end 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:49.480 issues were not done. Jared Cook after catching two first 0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:54.000 quarter touchdowns, he gets concussed. Vance McDonald, vance and make 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:58.120 them dance. He gets concussed. So listen, Andrew's Cook McDonald. 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.760 Those are all viable tight ends. So we will tell 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.040 you later on in the show where to pivot to 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.120 in the UH in the waiver wires, I got one 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.880 or two that you could definitely use if you still 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.680 need that are like less than owned if you still 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:14.880 need a tight end. Okay, Audentate alright with an ankle, 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:18.440 he's gone both Scarborough got banged up with ribs. Check 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:21.560 out for him. Rashad Penny, that's gonna be a problem. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.720 He's gone now for Seattle. That means all the Carson, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.560 all the time. Jamis Winston has a fracture in his 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.560 hand that he's gonna get a second opinion on. Okay, 0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.440 this could be big time issues for the Tampa Bay Bucks. 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:37.520 And you wanted shares of Tampa Bay in fantasy right there? 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.039 The number three scoring offense, Jamie is through for like 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:45.600 four fifty something yesterday. Um, Dwayne Haskins with an ankle. Now, 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.480 if you needed Dwayne Haskins to get you through your 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:51.159 fantasy semifinals, we should have a different conversation. But what 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.800 about DJ Chark in a walking boot that probably helped 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.000 hurt a playoff team? What about Calvin Ridley because of 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.160 his abdomen he's going to I r now out. But 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:04.480 about Noah offense with a foot? There's another tight end? 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.240 All right? These are people that may have been in 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:12.359 the starting lineup of teams that finished, you know, in 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.640 fourth place or better. We're talking about guys like Parker, 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:21.479 like Chark, like Bridley, like Evans and three legit tight ends. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.840 This was a mass unit of a day, and of 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.839 course it happens in a lot of settings. When you 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:31.240 can't even make any changes anymore, there's very little for 0:05:31.279 --> 0:05:33.800 you to be able to do about it. That's why 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.919 we told you in weeks you know, ten, eleven, and 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:40.520 twelve to prepare for this by cutting your wide receiver 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.520 five and bolstering up the depth in places like this. 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:45.720 And we will tell you as we go on in 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.599 the show how to respond if you got hurt. But 0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:53.240 there's also listen listen Odell Beckham. Now you know we're 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.080 hearing this in Cleveland about did the training staff handle 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.960 it right? Baker throwing them out over the bus, under 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.360 of the bus, the medical staff. You know, Odell may 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.840 not even be in Cleveland next year. But Baker, why 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.599 do you have to talk about this? You're supposed to be, 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.280 you know, part of what takes the Browns away from 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.560 being a laughing stock. You're talking in g Q, you're 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.680 talking about other quarterbacks. You're talking about Duke Johnson's contract, 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:18.880 you're talking about now, the medical staff, you're talking about 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.400 your former coach, you Jackson. How about you just shut 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.760 the hell up, you know, and like just just worry 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:28.640 about your division wins you've had over Pittsburgh and Cincinnati recently, 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.440 you know what I mean. But that's going on. Oh 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:34.279 and late breaking news literally in the last few hours, 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.479 there was a story out there that apparently there was 0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:44.600 a videographer filming the Cincinnati Bengals sidelines yesterday, team employee 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.000 of the New England Patriots, and then they had security 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:49.640 ask them and they said, no, no, no, we're just 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:53.440 filming for a documentary. Yeah, who did the Patriots playing 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:58.039 next week? The Cincinnati Bengals. So I ask you. The 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.039 footage they got though, was not like roll. It was 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:06.800 of the coaches relaying signals into this play. And you 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.680 need to do this against the Cincinnati Bengals. That's what 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.160 it meant when you were onto Cincinnati. They just keep 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.520 on cheating, y'all. They just keep on cheating, and no 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:18.360 wonder because look, they don't have the talent to get 0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:20.480 it done anymore. I'll talk a little bit more about 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.240 that on the other side of the break. I do 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.160 want to let you guys know we gotta pull question 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.480 up on Twitter as well.

No, 0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.720 I am not worried about Lamar Jackson. Yes, I know 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:05.200 if Pork Fried Rice Geys has done and um no 0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:09.680 Baker has yet to comment on Lizzo's outfit. Um, but 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:15.000 the Rikishi trending is absolutely ridiculous. A propos but absolutely ridiculous. 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.199 I'm not going to talk about that right now. Ben, 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:19.480 I know that you may miss on Thursday. So listen, 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.920 I've been talking about A J. Brown. I've been talking 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.960 about A J. Brown and Ryan Tannehill as that combo 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:26.679 for the better part of a month. Now you know 0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:28.920 what I'm saying. We're gonna talk about it again. And 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.320 so of those guys, Yeah, like Deebo Samuel, Yeah, like 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.280 Cooper Cup If Dealing is back, I would play him. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:38.240 But otherwise, yeah, Lockett hasn't done as much. He's a 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:40.800 little bit banged up that whatever it is. So yeah, 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.200 I can see A J. Brown and a j. Brown's 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.559 got a great matchup next week. All right, there, Ben, 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.320 So in any event, let's get back to what we 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.079 usually do in this segment, which is uh biggest takeaways, 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.240 what we can spend forward next week, what we got right, 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:57.720 what we got wrong. So here's what I want to say. First, 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:01.200 last Monday, at this point in time, remember how it 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:05.080 was like, I'm not saying the Patriots are dead. And 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.559 then I said, but they could be handled. And I said, 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.600 if you take away Edelman, that Brady didn't have the 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.840 faith in his receivers. All that stuff I said last week, Okay, 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.439 because I don't want people being like, oh, speeds jumping 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:21.200 on the bad wagon, speeds piling on. All week, I 0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:24.400 was talking about how the cracks are showing all season. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:27.360 I've been talking about how it's not vintage all season. 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:30.760 I've been talking about three specific men, and they're the 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.160 teams that they lead. Now, who are the three Patriots losses? 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.720 The exact three men and the teams that they lead 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.079 that I said, Okay, now here's what I want to do, 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:43.880 adding onto for what I saw yesterday. You already know 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.360 my position on the Patriots. Okay, I think we're at 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:48.720 the fall of Rome. I think it's Edelman and then 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:53.480 what right, and that Brady doesn't trust it. They needed 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.120 that with the evolution of the run game. That's why 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:57.959 you had guys like Antonio Brown, Josh Gordon. They needed Gronk, 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.960 all that good stuff. Now what you can take them away, 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:04.679 you can take away Edelman. What then, here's what I 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.559 saw yesterday that only furthered my point. I don't care 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.079 about these instant replays. I don't care about if he 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:12.640 stepped out of bounds or not. I don't care if 0:11:12.640 --> 0:11:14.600 it was passing inference or not. You know what I know. 0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:19.839 I know that the Patriots know it themselves. You look 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:22.680 at Brady's frustration on the sideline, And what I saw 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:27.320 yesterday was the Patriots knowing that in order to score 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:33.160 points they needed to resort to trickeration. Okay, flee flickers, 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:37.080 half back passes. That's how they were getting their chunk 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.920 plays yesterday when they just had first and ten on 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.160 their own thirty and they didn't run a trick play, 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.720 they couldn't move the ball. All right, This is now 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:51.000 the blueprint, all right? And I do believe Listen Brady 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.160 goes nineteen thirty six hundred and sixty nine yards he 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:59.200 throws another interception. Right now, the New England Patriots this 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:02.720 year have two wins against teams that are five hundred 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:06.320 or better. Okay, they gotta win against Philly. I excuse me. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:10.079 The opener against Pittsburgh where they blew out the Steelers, right, 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:11.560 I'll give you that. And that's the opener where they 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.000 were hanging a banner and all that good stuff. And 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:18.000 then one the game they won sixteen to ten against 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:22.520 the Buffalo Bills. Remember that game, blocked punt for a touchdown. Right, 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.280 So you show me the proofpoint of when the Patriots 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:27.960 can beat a good team, because I haven't seen it 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:31.720 this year, This new England Patriots, this new England Patriots 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:34.320 team is resorting the trick plays, all right, and they're 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.320 getting worse over the season as more and more teams 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.920 figure out what they can do to stifle them, all right, 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:42.920 And that is my problem. I do not see this 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:45.120 team being able to now and back to back weeks 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:48.120 beat say, the Chiefs and the Ravens, the Texans and 0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:50.600 the Ravens. I don't see them if they fall to 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:52.760 the third seed, which is now possible for them to 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.600 beat a team like the Titans and then go to 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.079 Kansas City and then go to Baltimore. It ain't happen 0:12:58.120 --> 0:13:00.280 in people. And what I saw yesterday was even the 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:02.640 pit of their stomach. They know it. That's why they're 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:04.880 resorting the trick plays, and that's why you see the 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.560 frustration of Brady on the sidelines. But I'll also tell 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:10.480 you when we talk about trick plays, here's the takeaway 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:13.160 from me from that first Well, that Saints um, that 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:18.400 Saints Niners game on believable. Alright, great game reminds me 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:20.360 of all the big boys we saw last year, the 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:24.680 Chiefs Rams game, the Patriots Chiefs game, right, all those 0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.439 great games all right, even this year's see Hawks Niners. Right. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:32.200 Here's what I'll say. I noticed something though, and it's 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:33.679 something we've talked about, and I want you I has 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.320 to pay attention to this moving forward. Okay, why do 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.679 you think the Saints tried so much stuff? Fake punts, 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.760 Taysom Hill. The Niners did too. They broke out and 0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.280 like half back Miname Sanders passing the rhame most start 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.440 double end arounds. It's because they know they may see 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.000 this team again, and they're putting stuff on tape that 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.000 they want to put on tape just so they can 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:56.440 break the tendency later on. You know, a team plays 0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:58.719 like Vanilla in the preseason because they don't want to 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:02.360 show you something now in these kind of matchups where 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.319 they think they may see you again. It's not that 0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:06.400 they don't want to show you something. They want to 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:09.760 show you a specific something because they want it on tape, 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:11.480 and then they want to be able to do the 0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:15.439 play action off that the break that tendency. I make 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.559 this analogy all the time. Manny Ramirez used to purposely 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.040 look stupid on a slider and his first at bat, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.560 Why because he then knew what meant on base in 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:25.880 the sixth inning. Later on, in a clutch spot, he'd 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.080 get the same slider and he'd deposit over the damn wall. 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:33.520 That's watch. That's what guys like Cale Shanahan, Sean Payton, 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.400 Bill Belichick, that's what they do. And I wonder if 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.880 we saw you know, Manny Sanders passing or he most started, 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.720 if we saw fake punts, if we saw you know, 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:46.240 Taysom Hill being utilized in a lot of different ways 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:50.200 just so they can go off that um in a 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:53.200 month's time. And I think that's very interesting. Watch that. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:57.120 Also when you see some of these other games that 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.560 may involve teams like Houston and Tennessee are gonna play 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.040 each other's in the next uh suit three weeks, watch 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.040 what happens. Watch it. There's some like stuff they put 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.840 out there just to go away from it in weeks seventeen. 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:10.680 I do believe that will be the case. And I 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.320 said it before my big takeaway, I damn hate bye 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:15.720 weeks or the first week of fantasy playoffs because so 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:17.760 many people get banged up. I had on one of 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:21.440 my teams. I had Evans, Geys Parker, and Andrews on 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.200 a bye week and they all get banged out. On 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:26.160 one of my teams. My two quarterbacks in a two 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.640 quarterback league are Patrick Mahomes and Jamis Winston. They both 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:32.320 got hurt. And I told you to cuff these guys. Okay, 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:35.280 So when we turn the page, we'll talk about, you know, 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.480 how we can kind of respond that will also say this. 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:39.440 You know, it's a big takeaway from me. I'm I'm 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:41.360 you know, Jake Seali used to say band kickers. I'm 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.640 now on that train because if you were facing say 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.040 Jason Sanders, right and he it's seven field goals and 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.680 scored twenty four points, and that's why you lost. Send 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:50.480 me the game of inches. I want to see it, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:52.320 and I wanna you know, tell you you got a 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.400 bad beat what I got right. Let me tell you something. 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.920 I've told you that Girley equals the balance for these Rams. 0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:59.640 And look at what the Rams are doing now that 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.480 they have rediscovered Todd Gurley. I told you this and 0:16:02.520 --> 0:16:04.640 I think it will continue. They're trying to move away 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.360 from being a finesse team. They're double teaming the guard, 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.640 the double teaming the ends on the other side with 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:13.920 the guards. They're even running different personnel groups. Cooper Cup 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:15.920 was not on the field and first down last night, 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.960 all right, it was Josh Reynolds Higbee and the other 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:21.720 tight end number eighty two. Then they brought in Cooks 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:24.760 and Cup on passing downs, all right. They are trying 0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:28.200 to change their identity. Girley goes twenty three, carries seventy 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:31.600 nine yards and a touchdown. When Girle carries the ball 0:16:31.680 --> 0:16:34.200 fourteen times or more. This year, the Rams are now 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:36.320 seven and one. Their only loss was at one point 0:16:36.360 --> 0:16:38.960 lost the Seattle when he carries the ball less than 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.160 fourteen times there one in four they only beat the 0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:44.440 Cincinnati Bengals, and that was the day that Cooper Cup 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.000 went off a two twenty yards for goodness sakes, Okay, 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.720 this is another example about balance, and this is what 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:53.080 I say. You want another one, I'll give you another one. 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.000 I got it right again. The damn Tennessee Titans. I 0:16:56.040 --> 0:16:58.600 told you to take them all day against the Oakland 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:01.360 Raiders because they are a team that is ascending. Ryan 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.040 Tannehell wins again. He is six and one now under 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.800 center as the starter for these Titans. Okay, he went 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.920 twenty one of seven for three hundred and ninety one yards. 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:15.159 He's gonna win you DFS leagues. I gave him out 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.200 as a DFS guy. He's gonna win people two quarterback 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.800 season long leagues. They are averaging thirty one point four 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:24.639 points a game with him, and in none of those 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:27.600 games did he have to go over thirty nine attempts. 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:30.480 The same thing remains true when you have Derrick Henry 0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.720 being literally the best running back in football over the 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.600 last month. He goes a hundred and three and two touchdowns. 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.800 That's after a hundred forty nine in a tud after 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.679 a hundred fifty nine and two after a hundred and two. 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.840 I'm telling you people, that balance that Tennessee has is 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.720 something that these teams need, the teams that don't have it. 0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:53.800 I talked about it all the time, the Falcons, the Chargers, right, 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:57.320 Tennessee has it. The Rams are finding it. We'll see 0:17:57.359 --> 0:18:00.639 what happens with the Titans, because they got used New 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:03.280 Orleans and Houston. We'll see if they'll be able to 0:18:03.480 --> 0:18:06.760 maintain that balance in the last month of the season 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:08.400 when we come back on the other side of the break. 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.040 More of what Speed's got right, what Speed's got wrong. 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.000 There's a few players that put it in my eye. 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.160 I will humbly admit it your questions as well. Will 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:17.639 open up the phone lines, and we'll look to the 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.320 waiver wire because some people got banged up yesterday.

I'm saying this 0:20:08.840 --> 0:20:12.000 as it relates to Todd Gurley and how the Rams are. 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:16.080 I believe um shedding some of their finesse approach and 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:18.520 trying to be a little bit more. I think, if anything, 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.920 it hurts Cooks. I know I mentioned that Cup is 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.360 not on the field in that package, that personnel group 0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:26.800 they were running, but no Cup is still, in my opinion, 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:29.159 the apple of goss. I I know Woods has had it. 0:20:29.400 --> 0:20:33.280 But remember this is why anybody that's in the cipher listen. 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.680 If you're a real deal cipher. You know years ago 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:42.119 I talked about the fantasy heard. This is the fantasy heard, people, 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:45.840 and that's why I say the fantasy heard is good 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.240 for the real team. Right, you start to leverage Girly, 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:51.040 you got a little bit of Higbee. You got Cup? 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:53.040 You got what four weeks ago people were like, oh 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:56.640
