Although inside Frankie Stamfell, I am Greg Susman. Friday. 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:12.480 What's going on? But it Greg t G I f 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:16.679 thank god it's Friday. And oh boy, what a game 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.559 did we have last night? Greg? I would say early 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.640 contender for Game of the Year. Again, it's only week four. 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.800 It's a fun game. It is the winner for fun 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.680 game of the Year. I would say it was the 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.000 best game of the year. It was fun, it was awesome, 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.400 but it was not like the Fantasy Game of the 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.440 year Fantasy Game of the Year. Yeah, I mean that that. 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:39.479 I don't know. Steeler Steelers Chiefs was also really good. 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.119 That was a great one. That was a great one 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.679 the Saints and the last week was another. The thing 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.680 is with this one, if you had any player in 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:51.600 this game outside of Dalvin Cook feeling pretty good, like 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:59.400 literally anybody and Sam Ficking probably, but like literally anybody, anybody. 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.080 Oh god, that was fun. That was down out to 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.120 Bavona too. I like that promo before we came in 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.240 pumping me up for saying I like Jared Goff more 0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:10.160 than Kirk Cousins. I mean, mind you you don't. You 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:11.720 don't need to dive a little bit deeper. You can 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.040 if you want. Had Jared Goff is my living frand 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.799 quarterback Kirk Cousin is my twelve. It seems like both 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.240 of those guys are gonna be locked for top five 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:22.040 quarterbacks this week. Nobody saw that coming. But we did 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.800 get Jared Goff over Kirk Cousins right yesterday. You absolutely, 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.120 I guess we both did love right yesterday. A betting perspective, 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.480 we did pretty well. Adam Feeling got the over, You 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.800 got the over overall in the points in the first half, 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.919 it's right, um. And then I think with the Rams 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.520 and the Chiefs right now, you just can't bet the 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.399 under on these teams. You just can't. There's no way 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.959 to do it. Until we see a game where either 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.720 the Rams or Chiefs score less than like thirty five points. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.280 I just don't see how you can bet the under 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.919 on either one of these teams. Unbelievable. How much fun 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:54.880 that game was, Like I said, it didn't matter who 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:58.000 you had. It weren't got great. Well, it was fun 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.440 to watch. It might have been fun if you were 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.600 going up against Jared Goff, because I saw some screenshots 0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:07.720 online already. People down a hundred points sucks for a 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:11.799 Thursday night game. Imagine that you faced Jared Goff, Cooper Cup, 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:16.560 and Adam Thelan. It's not over till it's over. But 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.840 it's over. It's over. I'm sorry I had for once. 0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.520 It looks like until Chris Hogan goes off UM and 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.840 made the right decision in one of my leagues, starting 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.440 both Cup and Robert Woods last night, that was awesome. 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:34.359 Told um up fifty one nothing right now, I think 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:39.000 it's nice, not no problem there, UM. So then it 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.560 is line up day. So I'll have a decision to 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:43.600 make between Calvin Realley, Kennyan Drake, and Chris Hogan. Pick one. 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:48.320 I'll start off. Chris Hogan is out of contention. He's 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.400 out of this here for me. So it's between Kenyan 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:54.320 Drake and Calvin Ridley. UM, and you already have a 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.040 what fifty one point lead? You go to Drake for the 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.320 the safety and Drake is safer just because it touches right, 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.840 like running back touches are always safer than wide receiver targets. Like, yeah, obviously, 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.320 Calvin Ridley's trending in the right direction. Sixty yards and 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:08.280 a touchdown a week too. Obviously at the Monster game 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:09.920 last week, a lot of people are going to be 0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.280 reactionary and say, oh, you have to get Calvin Ridley 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.600 in your line up. Absolutely, Let's not forget the Bengal 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.760 secondary is pretty good. They have Drake Kirkpatrick, who, according 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.359 to Pro Football Focus, is going to be lined up 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.159 on the same side with Calvin Ridley a lot in 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.159 this game. I'm not saying that's going to completely limit him. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.240 But obviously we're projecting forward. We're not just looking back 0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.000 on what's happened with Calvin Ridley um and to that 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.120 same token, Kenyan Drake was absolutely brutal last week. I 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:34.720 think he's in a good spot to bounce back. I'm 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.520 not sure he has immense upside, but I think Kenyan 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.800 Drake is still pretty safe. Let men start calor really 0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:43.800 in landing, George. Look, it's certainly more fun. I'll give 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.680 you that right now, having fun. I have Calvin Ridley 0:04:46.800 --> 0:04:49.280 in my wide receiver rankings. I'll pull it up. I 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.159 have him, I believe, like thirty two or thirty three, 0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.080 so he's like a solid wide receiver three. And where's 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:55.599 Kenyan Drake? And that a lot of and that a 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.880 lot of ranks. And you Drake just because the running 0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.720 back position, I mean you hear it every single year, 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.480 but I I feel like, especially more so this week. 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.240 Right when I was looking at the running back landscape, 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.760 it's bad. It's very bad, Greg, Like when you have 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:09.520 both Broncos running back still ranked inside your top thirty 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:11.479 and you don't know who's going to get the ball. Like, 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.919 the running back position is bad. And I have Kenyan 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.760 Drake ranked as my RB eight team on the week, 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.720 so he's just ahead of Chris Carson, Sony Michelle James White, 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.359 carry on Johnson and if you if you disagree with 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.520 any of those, I am okay to open it up 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:30.760 like if I can, I can understand wanting to use 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.040 Carson or the Patriots guys over Kenyan Drake. These are 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.880 just my standard rankings. UM, just because Carson had incredible 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.880 volume last week, the Patriots offense, Sony Michelle looks like he, 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.240 you know, could be the guy that's getting the scoring opportunities, 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:45.120 and then weekend in week out, James White has you know, 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:47.039 really been the Patriots running back to own and the 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:49.040 ones to trust. I will clearly say that in half 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.360 point PPR and PPR I would use James White over 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.240 Kenyan Drake because these are my standard ranks. So I 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.360 have Kenyan Drake ranked RB eight teen. There you go, 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.360 we'll see. I'm just not feeling low right now, Kenyan Drake. 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:00.920 And I understand you got burned last week. Come on, 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.240 you can't have recency biased, you can't. You gotta you 0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:07.479 gotta forget, you gotta forgive and forget. You're going with 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:12.960 Calvin wrong with that UM question, Prety, I mentioned Chris Hogan. Uh, 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:16.479 there's a question about Chris Hogan versus Mike Williams. Yeah, 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.479 I have. I have Mike Williams ranked hire right now, 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.480 and I'm very high on Mike Williams. He's actually one 0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.599 of the players that I'm higher than the consensus on 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.440 this week, Greg, especially now with this, uh, this injury 0:06:26.440 --> 0:06:28.960 that's popped up with keenanallenge I don't really know much about, 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:31.120 but he hasn't practiced the last couple of days with 0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:34.920 a knee injury. But for Mike Williams, UM, he's the 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:38.599 wide receiver fifteen overall right now in standard leagues, UM. 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.200 And he's going up against the forty Niners defense that 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.640 has been torched by running backs, torched by wide receivers recently, 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.039 and they're going to be rich without Richard Sherman in 0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:49.520 this contest. So I could trust Mike Williams as a 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:53.600 solid wide receiver three regardless of format, A kind of 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.960 similar to what I said about Andrew Luck. With Chris Hogan, 0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:58.520 he hasn't given us much to inspire confidence, So I'll 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.400 use Mike Williams, a guy who's been getting done more 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.800 more so than Chris Hogan. Totally agree with that. UM. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.120 Going back to Thursday Night Football here before we kind 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:08.839 of move on and focus on the weekend. Um, it's 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.280 cool that the Rams are involving all three of their guys, 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.760 Like all three of those guys are startable every week there. 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:17.600 I had all three and top they're all wide receivers 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.800 once this week and they all came through all between. 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.920 I believe it was like sixteen and twenty four. Yes, 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:30.680 uh nineteen. Cooks actually had Woods at between nineteen and six. 0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.600 Fair enough, um, But what was wild was like they 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:36.520 could all It's cool because they could all run any route. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.400 Like I know Cups the slot guy, but he's running 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.680 deep routes as well as we saw coming from the slot. Sure, 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:42.600 but he's running deep routes as well. Brandon Cooks doing 0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.520 what he always does, and Robert was doing his thing 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:48.160 when it was also really amazing, Um about this Rams 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.480 offense last night. Every time there's a big play, but 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.440 they didn't get in the end zone. They gave it 0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:54.040 right back to that guy to have another shot have 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:57.440 with Robert Woods when he got pounding down the left sideline. 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:01.320 Next play seem past touchdown, Robert is the bomb, the 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:05.000 Brandon Books next play wide receiver screen the Randon Cooks. 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.360 I just thought that was so so cool. Yeah, it 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:12.320 absolutely is, and we're learning now that regardless of volume 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.000 in this offense, they're just so efficient. Even going up 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:17.920 against the Minnesota Vikings defense, which many people expected to 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:20.440 be a top five defense coming into the year, Robert 0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:22.440 Woods only had five targets in the schame. He caught 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:26.640 all five for one yards and a touchdown. Cooper Cup 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:29.800 eleven targets, caught nine of them, Randon Cooks eight targets, 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:32.600 called seven of them. That's incredible efficiency right now, Greg. 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.560 So they're efficient, they're making big plays down the field, 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.560 and as you mentioned, they can line up all three 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:40.840 of these receivers anywhere that they want to. And I 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:44.880 think the most impressive part about Sean mcveigh's play calling, 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:47.240 and I was texting about texting you about this last night, 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.160 is the fact that he knows how to exploit matchup 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:55.040 problems against defense is better than any coach that I've 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.200 seen in a while. Like he got Cooper Cup lined 0:08:57.280 --> 0:08:59.880 up on a linebacker. What happened a Cooper Cup bomba 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.120 the Robert Woods. They got Robert Woods lined up with 0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:07.760 a linebacker down the field, throw a bomb down the 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.120 field for a touchdown. He just knows how to create 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:14.120 these mismatches, and now Brandon Cooks is filling in that 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.160 role that Sean McVeigh wanted Sammy Watkins to be last year, 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:21.600 and he's doing so effortless, effortless lee. So both guys, 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:25.199 all three guys can, as you mentioned, catch the ball 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:27.040 at the line of scrimmage, screen passes. They could do 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:28.920 whatever you're asked of. And I think we're seeing now 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:32.160 that Brandon Cooks is not just a deep threat wide receiver, 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.079 like he's an all around wide receiver, and we're seeing 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.200 that more so with the Rams offense. I know a 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.599 lot of like the general sports football talk today is 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.479 going to be like, is Jared Coffins a system quarterbacks? 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.600 It's all because of Sean McVeigh. Why can't we just 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.760 appreciate what he's doing right? Yeah, even for fantasy purpose. Well, 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.360 so I think the sports talk is fair, But I 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.160 think we had this conversation last night. It was like, 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:54.760 at what point do we just said Jared coff is 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.400 good and the one making the throws. Obviously a lot 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:03.000 of it is Sean McVeigh and like his ridiculous, but 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:07.319 you still need to make the throws totally totally, and 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.920 from a fantasy perspective, I'm not again, I'm not sure 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:13.079 where we care. I talked about garbage time yesterday when 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.200 it came to Kyle Rudolph, but I don't care if 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:18.040 it's Seann favorite Jared Goff. Oh, I know Jared Goff 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.640 is getting the points. He's the quarterback for the best 0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.600 offense in the NFL not named Patrick Mahomes. Why would 0:10:24.600 --> 0:10:26.960 you not start Jared Goff right now, right like he 0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:30.080 was available waivers here on Carton and Friends that the 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:32.959 King started Eli Manning. Yeah, I mean, why wouldn't he 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.280 know he's the King? Well, he should have looked at 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.559 my lineup ranks. Craig bellbo right now on his website, 0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:40.559 The Road Actors dot Com. He's the King to be 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.760 paying attention. But the point is, how do you not 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:44.360 start the quarterback of the best offense in the NFL. 0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:46.600 I'ntil either just running the ball. Yeah, Todd Gurley has 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:51.120 been very effective, no doubt, but they're also just going 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.680 down the field and it's not thinking you dugging deep 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:57.200 crossing patterns. I mean, these offense is amazing. Yeah, and 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.760 again it was against the Vikings, so look, it was 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.600 to see fun. Um, if you're in a hole again, 0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:05.640 call in and let us know. We'll trying to answer 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:08.680 your line of questions. It's not completely over like obviously, 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.200 like there's a lot of football to play out this week. 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.000 But um, yeah, it was a great start and probably 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:15.920 the best Thursday night football game ever. I think we 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.880 could say that it was right off there. It was 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:20.520 really it was the most passing yards by a quarterback 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.920 and a Thursday night football hisit. Hey had combined thousand 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:28.320 yards last night. That's awesome. Um, first Ramps quarterback just 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.080 throw for that many yards since Mark Boulger in two 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.920 thousand and five. Great stead, Craig, thank you very much. 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:36.640 On the other side, he goes to the Vikings. Kirk 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:38.600 Cousins looked actually very very good for a lot of 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:40.480 this game, and then I kind of went away. The 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.040 offensive line started failing him and Aaron Donald was getting 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.880 in the backfield. But early on Kirk looked pretty good. Um, 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.959 Adam Field was everywhere once again, clearly the number one 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.080 option for him throughout the night. That's not to say 0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.280 Stefand's had a bad game. He didn't. Eleven foree, I 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.280 believe was his final line. So he was fantastic um. 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.680 Aldrick Robinson called two touchdown out of nowhere, but he 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.560 was barely on the field. One of those touchdowns were 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.760 clearly intended for Kyle Rudolph and Algae Robins a rather 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:09.360 wrong route. Um, But it was better to be lucky 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:14.280 than good. Indeed, the Vikings often certainly fantasy sustainable last night. Yeah, 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:15.679 I thought it was a good game plan early for 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.840 Kirk Cousins. He made a ton of beautiful touch passes 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.280 right over the defender's fingertips. And you know what, I 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:24.679 understand that like the m O for Marcus Peters is 0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.000 to be like a ball hawking cornerback. But there were 0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.240 a few plays where he just clearly undercut the wide 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.000 receiver and was standing in front of them trying to 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.880 pick the ball off, and Kirk Cousins just touch passed 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.400 right over them. We saw that multiple times to get 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:39.000 down the field, and then it was very clear on 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:40.920 one of the touchdowns to Aljack Robinson. I believe it 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.600 was the first one. So it was a great game 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.040 plan for the Vikings and anchor Cousins get the ball 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:46.959 out of his hands early on. I thought the offensive 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.000 line looked better. Um, I agree with you that they 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.760 kind of fell apart as the game went on, but 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.920 probably stopping Donagan, Sue and Aaron Donald like you're only 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.520 going to have success for so long. Um, So I 0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.839 think we expected that at some point those guys to 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.839 get THEIRS. I would say certainly did. But even from 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.840 the Vikings perspective, the one letdown was Dalvin Cook. I mean, 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.240 Adam Feeland was phenomenal in this game. I know he 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.360 joined a group of like five or six receivers uh 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.840 to start the first four games of the season with 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:16.280 one hundred plus yards receiving in every single game. I 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:18.080 think the last person to do it was Randy Moss. 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:22.240 So he's obviously doing ridiculous things right now. Shout out 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.400 to Venture who was all over Adam Feeland in the preseason. 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:26.959 But this was the bounce back performance that we needed 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:29.840 from Stefon Diggs to inspire confidence in him again. He 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:33.680 actually out targeted Adam Feeland, he out receptioned I don't 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:35.040 think that's a word, but it was made it a 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:37.040 thing Adam feeling. And he still had a hundred and 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.760 twenty three yards you want to touch down there. But 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.840 it was a great bounce back game for Stefon Diggs. Yeah, 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:42.520 it was. It was hugely wed. We kind of talked 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:46.160 about yesterday that we expected that to happen, and it did, 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:47.839 and we thought Marcus Peters wasn't going to play. In 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:49.640 fact that both of those guys still did that with 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.640 Mark Peters in the lineup, that inspires confidence moving forward 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.079 at five seven in the first half was did not 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:58.200 have a single reception the second half of any because 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.360 he had those eight points and a half point br 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.360 Um in the first half, You're like, all right, now 0:14:02.400 --> 0:14:03.640 you get a few more points in the second half. 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.840 Is a really nice game. Ultimately didn't happen. I still 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.960 have confidence, obviously in Kyle Rudolph Um. You know what 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.600 you're getting in the in the Viking's office and then 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.480 and it's not all that dissimilar in Denver, where it's 0:14:14.520 --> 0:14:17.080 like Sanders and Thomas and everybody else. It's digs and 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:18.959 feeling and everybody else. Not Kyle rude Up is a 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.880 strong everybody else. But I like that this is one 0:14:21.880 --> 0:14:23.640 of these offenses we can week out you know what 0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:26.440 you're getting. Yeah, and we said that about kyro Rouff 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:28.920 yesterday to save floor five receptions for fifty seven in 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:33.000 a PPRU standard, you probably want a little bit more. Again, 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.000 in standard leagues, if you don't score a touchdown, you're 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.520 likely not going to be a tight end one for 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.240 that week. But still to get fifty points out of 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.920 your tight end without a touchdown, it's still pretty solid 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:46.080 in standards. So yeah, I agree with you, Dalbin Cook. 0:14:46.160 --> 0:14:48.200 Let's get to him. He was the one let down 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.160 from last night. Ultimately, he was all over the field 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.200 in the first half. But he actually looked pretty good, 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.360 Like I thought, he looked really good running the football 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.760 and then just crazy because he only average two yards 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.120 of character. Then he looked good. He did. He looked 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:02.560 a little bit more spry, Like there were there were 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.560 places where he was tackled behind the line of scrimmage, 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.680 and that's not his fault, that's just that's the offensive line, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:10.960 you know, obviously pies some sort like there were a 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.960 few runs were like he had like a few like six, seven, eight, nine, 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.040 ten yard runs, but those were kind of like mitigated 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.400 by the fact that there were a few times where 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:21.480 he was tackled behind the line of scrimmage. He looks spry. 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:23.800 We didn't see him in the second half, like, so 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:25.560 That's what I was gonna getting too. As this became 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.680 an aerial attack on both teams. It was weird. That 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:31.960 was like, wait, where's Dalvin Cook? They cycled through four 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:35.080 running backs and Dalvin Cooke was not part of that 0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.240 cycle in in the second half. He definitely got concerned 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.000 that he reaggravated an injury. Before the game, they had 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:42.960 told you Dalvin Cook because be got a pitch count. Normally, 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.080 when we hear that from coaches, it's all BS. Evidently 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:48.160 it wasn't BS last night. Was on the sideline. He 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:50.240 looked fine um, but did not play in the second 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:52.440 half because he was on with his pitch count. Is 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:54.760 not a bad job by Mike. Mike's ever using that 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:56.440 pitch count up in the first half and not being 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:58.920 able to even have available in the second half. I 0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:00.600 think it was just game plan in the second half. 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.040 I don't know that they wanted to run the ball 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:04.120 all that much because if you look at Lesavias Murray, 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.880 he didn't get many rushing attempts either, had two rushes 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.280 for two yards. I mean, overall, their running backs combined 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.960 for thirteen carries in this game. They seemingly didn't run 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.600 the ball at all in the second half. I think 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:16.520 that they knew coming out that they just really needed 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.200 to throw, and especially once the Rams kind of went 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:21.840 up big, Vikings had to come back and try and 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.440 match them point for a point, So there was just 0:16:23.440 --> 0:16:24.880 a lot of passing in the second half. I don't 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:27.520 think that they needed to run the ball, honestly, if 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.800 they were going If I'm guessing that this wasn't the 0:16:30.840 --> 0:16:33.000 plan coming in to have to throw the ball this much, 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.200 because if that was the plan, they should have just 0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:37.320 gave Dalvin Cook the night off. They should They could 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.760 have given him another week to rest, and essentially, like 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.080 you said yesterday, it would have been like a three 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.200 week stretch for him to get right, and ultimately that 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.440 would have saved us selfishly, that would have saved us 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:50.560 fantasy owners, who once Dalvin Cook is active, you pretty 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:52.440 much need to start him. So we kind of got 0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.120 burned just because he was active. So it kind of, 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:57.600 you know, worked out wrong for both fantasy owners and 0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.000 the Vikings. I think they should have just gave him 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:00.680 the night off if this was their game plan to 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.600 pass them all this month. I tend to agree.
