Yeah, Bengals, but they got a 22 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 2: lot of them coming up to. 23 00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: The Rams place quarterback Stetson Bennett on the reserve non 24 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: football injury list. 25 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 2: Doesn't he have off the field history I wonder if 26 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 2: there was some stuff. There was some stuff. I don't 27 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: know exactly what it was, but I know he's gotten 28 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 2: in trouble or you know, something along those lines in 29 00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 2: his career. 30 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, Sean McVay refused to talk about it. He said, 31 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 1: it's not related to any kind of shoulder injury that 32 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: that Stetson Bennett had. Again, it's it's a non football 33 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: injury list, So I don't even know why people would 34 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: think it was about the shoulder injury. But he's dealing 35 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: with something and it's not related to football. 36 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,559 Speaker 2: No, I think he's the two. 37 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: He's the two. 38 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: I mean, he played a lot in. 39 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: The preseason, So now it's Brett Rippian. 40 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: Okay, yuck, Staffer, better stay healthy. Staff played great in 41 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: Week one, though, uh. 42 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said Brandon Cooks, with a knee injury, 43 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: has a chance to play in Week two against the Jets. 44 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: He played in Week one, right, Yeah, but. 45 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: He didn't practice today, you know, so we'll see what 46 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: happens with him. They didn't throw the ball a lot 47 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: in Week one. Who'd you say they played the Jets? 48 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: Play the Jets. 49 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: That's a tough defense to play. Against of course. Yeah, yeah, no, 50 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: they didn't. Their offense didn't have to do much at all. 51 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 2: Week one, they kind of went through the motions. They 52 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: had a big lead and they didn't use Poulard was extreme. 53 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: They use Lamb Doo's extreme. This kind of moved Wall 54 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: here and there and kind of took it easy on him. 55 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: Mentioned those Ravens injuries. 56 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 2: There's a lot. 57 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley, Tyler Linderbaum, Marcus Williams, Marlon Humphrey did not 58 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: practice today for them or weren't seen on the practice 59 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: field for them yesterday.

Marlon hump sorry Marcus. Marcus Williams 62 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: might be out. 63 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 2: For the year. Fact, I don't know how bad it is, but. 64 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: They're saying that they can't even look at it yet 65 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: to figure out how bad it is because of the swelling, 66 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: Like he doesn't have a ton of pain, which might 67 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: not be good because everything's ripped apart in there. Maybe 68 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: your nerves are are all shot in there. He might 69 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: not play again this year. 70 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: I mean, what, that's five guys you listed, not including 71 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: Dobbins and Andrews. They're five of their most eight important players. 72 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Lamars, I mean as bad as the 73 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: Steeler injury stuff is right now, the Ravens are and 74 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 1: worship right now. 75 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, boy, that Ravens Bengals game might be bigger than 76 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 2: Steelers Browns. I mean not for me and you and 77 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 2: our listeners, but I mean just in the terms of 78 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 2: where the division goes. 79 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean I don't know. 80 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: You know, if they can the Bengals rebound, can they 81 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 2: knock off the rust? Can the Ravens overcome this stuff 82 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: and get their offense looking like they wanted to because 83 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: it didn't in Week one? Could you? 84 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine for them playing against Cincinnati 85 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: without Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Williams. Right, it's the two 86 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: best guys in your secondary and they don't rush faster 87 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: well period. Yeah, I mean they're not what they let alone. 88 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 1: You know, maybe your two best offensive linemen too. 89 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: Right, I mean that's a good Cincey front too. And 90 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 2: it's Bengals D played really well. I mean they kind 91 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 2: of had to give up the ship late there on 92 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: the field forever, but the Bengals D held around with 93 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 2: the Browns. Yeah, that's it's a big game, bad stuff. 94 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: And you know that o'clock on Sunday. 95 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't know, you know when those guys 96 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: might make it back. Uh, Stanley and Linderbaum have been 97 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: labeled as week to week, which doesn't you know, that 98 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're going to be back next week, and 99 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: it means this could be a week you know, three 100 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: or four week thing. 101 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 2: Linemen. 102 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you know you had to humph humph. 103 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: They said that about Humphrey when he got hurt. 104 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 2: I mean, O Lineman and secondary guys are like the 105 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,719 Speaker 2: hardest thing to find, and that's their probably their best 106 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 2: two dbs and best too O Linemen. 107 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. So not not in a good spot there for 108 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens. 109 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 2: And the offense is not looking like it's new and 110 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 2: improved yet. 111 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, shockingly enough, I think somebody warned people about that 112 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: in the preseason. Jerry Judy is close to playing on Sunday, 113 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: according to NFL Network's Games Palmer and Sean Payton. 114 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: I got the impression it's likely. 115 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, their offense didn't look great and we oh no. 116 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 2: They had a lot of different people involved. Dolt just 117 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: got hurt. Neither back really established himself as the top 118 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 2: two mims who everybody was raving about. Hardly played like 119 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: they're looking for skill guys to help in a big way. 120 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: It was bad, and Judy is their best guy. 121 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: He's their best guy. Yeah he is. 122 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: He is uh commander's wide receiver Curtis Samuel and defensive 123 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: end Chase Young Samuel with a hip Young with a 124 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: neck listed is limited. On Wednesday, they get the they played, 125 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: they played Denver, they played. 126 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: In Denver, Okay, So side note, Washington played Arizona, Denver 127 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: played Vegas. I wonder if we're gonna look at those 128 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: games and be like, all these teams are bad the 129 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: case so they all were kind of even almost certain 130 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 2: the cards are bad. So by the cumulative principle or whatever, 131 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 2: all these teams bad. They might all be bad. They 132 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: might be pretty bad. Yeah, I think the Raiders can 133 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,679 Speaker 2: get smoked by the Bills. 134 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: TYJ. Spears with a green injury is limited. Wednesday's practice. 135 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: He had more snaps than Derrick Henry, which is crazy, 136 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 2: and a lot on first and ten. Yeah, I mean 137 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: they were just trying to get any spark going, and 138 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 2: you know they were struggling, but he looks good. They 139 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 2: love him. I mean that that's unfortunate for him. 140 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, so groin injury, that's not typically good. Yeah. 141 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 142 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: Uh. DeAndre Hopkins with an ankle injury, did not practice Wednesday. 143 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 2: He played a lot better than I expected. Actually, he 144 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 2: was one of the few bright spots for that team, 145 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: by far, the leading target guy. I might sell him 146 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,559 Speaker 2: now if I had him for fantasy. Yeah, but guys 147 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: like Spears.

And like you said, 167 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: they're totally reshuffled their line. I mean they traded for 168 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: Kendrick Green because they kind of have to start them, 169 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: you know, that's where they're at. 170 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, James Bradberry with the concussion, not that this is 171 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: a surprise, we'll not play Thursday night against the Vikings. 172 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 2: But hey, the Vike's got weapons. 173 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's what I'm saying. 174 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: Yea, Eagles corners aren't deep, no two stars. And then 175 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 2: after that. 176 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: Like whoever Darius Slay isn't covering I would imagine you 177 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: think they use Slay on a short week to travel 178 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: with Jefferson. 179 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 2: With Jefferson, that's a good question. I think they're more 180 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 2: of a sides teams, right. 181 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: I don't know that in two days that you can, hey, 182 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: we're going to travel this week. Because to your point 183 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: that you've always said about this, it's all it sounds, 184 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, all well and good. When a guy tracked. 185 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: It changes everything for everybody else when he's moving around. 186 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you said that, because they're reshuffling all 187 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 2: their safeties and linebackers that are in charge of getting 188 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 2: everybody aligned. Yeah, you know, do you really want to 189 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: I bet you don't. I bet you don't rock the boat. 190 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: Hawkinson might be a great start this week. 191 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 2: Addison could do well. 192 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. 193 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 2: I mean the Vikings didn't run the ball at all. No, 194 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: and so I mean I think it's gonna be throw 195 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: thro the throw for them that game to have a 196 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 2: lot of points. 197 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it could be. 198 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 2: I mean I don't think zero again and Brown and 199 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 2: Smith and Hurts, so they're not gonna be low producers. 200 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that could be an over game all day long. 201 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. 202 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: The Dolphins listed Raheem Mostert as a non participant in 203 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: Wednesday's practice. He's dealing with a knee injury. This is 204 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: the problem with Yeah, these smaller backs that just run 205 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: one thousand miles an hour into the line of scrimmage. 206 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: He's Ben's whole career. I mean took them one week 207 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: to get on the injury. Could Jonathan Taylor still end 208 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,559 Speaker 2: up there? These end up somewhere. 209 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: I don't always not give them what Indianapolis was asking for. 210 00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 2: That's the thing they're they're asking prices bonkers. 211 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't blame him, like why not. They 212 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: look at it like. 213 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 2: Hey, we weren't you know, we weren't going super Bowl 214 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 2: with her without you, right, and so get something out 215 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: of him. 216 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, Zach Moss listed as a full participant Wednesday for 217 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts with that Army is issue Deon Jackson. 218 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: He was horrible. 219 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: He didn't do much. Yeah, I think you know, you 220 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: look at them. They play Houston this week. Yeah, you're 221 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,200 Speaker 1: firing up. Zach Moss is a flex? 222 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 2: I was I was going to ask you. I think 223 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 2: he's a flex. 224 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think he might want to see it first. 225 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 2: But if you're stuck, you're looking for something, that's not 226 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 2: a bad place to go. I bet they run on 227 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: the Taxans, Yeah, between him and Richardson and yeah, and 228 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 2: that's not a great fantasy I don't know, it could 229 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 2: be a sneaky fantasy game. I mean, Pittman had a 230 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: good week. Yeah, if Moss has a flex plus week 231 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:55,359 Speaker 2: and Richardson. 232 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: Runs You just mentioned Nico Collins. 233 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,719 Speaker 2: Nico, Yeah, Yeah, it could be a sneaky one. I 234 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: think we picked both those defenses for our not that 235 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 2: I'm regretting it, but there might be more points in 236 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: that game. 237 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: And our two rookie quarterbacks you can still six yeah 238 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: sacks and Trent Brown for the Patriots miss Wednesday's practice 239 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: with a concussion. 240 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 2: That he's not gonna play. That's uh yeah, that's a 241 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 2: new one. 242 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just kind of I didn't hear anything about. 243 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 2: Their line has been totally shuffled too, but their offense 244 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 2: played exceeded my expectations dramatically against the Eagles, but their 245 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,719 Speaker 2: old lines not at all settled. He was one of 246 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: the only guys you knew where he's gonna line up 247 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 2: every week. I mean, they're trying to figure out who 248 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: their best five is right now. Not ideal. 249 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: H Kenneth game Well will not play in Week two 250 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: against the Vices. 251 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 2: That's when we thought we just when you thought you 252 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 2: had some clarity, No, Penny was inactive. 253 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: I would assume he's active this week. 254 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: I would think you would think Swift's the guy. 255 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 1: But Penny was inactive because teams of special team stuff. 256 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean so for example, one last year, last season, 257 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: when when Jalen Warren missed a game, Anthony McFarlane had 258 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: been inactive because he didn't play special teams, but then 259 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: he had a role in that game that Jalen Warren missed. 260 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 2: Right, So the Eagles might look at Penny as their 261 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: number two running back and thus the number. 262 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: One, Yeah, whereas they might look at Swift as being 263 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: kind of the change of pace. 264 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 2: No matter what, and he hardly played against the Patriots. 265 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: Knowing what I know right this minute, though I would 266 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: start Swift on Thursday. 267 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: Night, I wouldn't start either one of them if I 268 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: had a choice. 269 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 2: But against the Vikings, I hear you. 270 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Vikings run defense isn't and awful he throw 271 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: against them? 272 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't throw the backs as a problem for Swift. Yeah, 273 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: or they haven't. 274 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: But maybe we'll get a little clarity on that one. 275 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 2: Just watch it and he just wonder. I mean, so hypothetically, 276 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 2: you're a game, so ninety nine percent of people out 277 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: there that draft did gain Well, you didn't start him 278 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: in week one, right, you know, you're like, we'll take 279 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 2: I'll take a risk on him. He may be in 280 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 2: your waiver wire. 281 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: Now you can't start him in week two, and. 282 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 2: I don't know if you can start him when he 283 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 2: returns if one of the guys does well in the meantime. 284 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 2: You know, like, boy, I had a great draft. That's 285 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 2: what's weirdot Fantasy. I had a great draft pick. I 286 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 2: out smarted my whole league. Yeah, you got zero points 287 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: out of him in five weeks or whatever. 288 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: Oh, how about this one. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said 289 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: it will be hard for left tackle Charles Cross with 290 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: a toe injury and right tackle Abraham Lucas with a 291 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: knee injury to play in Week two against the Lions, 292 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,439 Speaker 1: both offensive tackle. That's why they signed Jason Peters say. 293 00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 2: I found that out. Since we've convened both of your 294 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 2: starting tackles out rookie tackles, they I might have to 295 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 2: get off of the Seahawks train. I mean, their guards 296 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 2: aren't great, their tackles were passing, promising. Yeah, it looks 297 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 2: like they have bright futures, great draft picks. I think 298 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: everyone our basic opinion on Gino, like, yeah, it was good, 299 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 2: but I'm not sure that he doesn't turn into a 300 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: pumpkin and worse. And this happened two years ago by 301 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: a wide margin Seattle ran the fewest play in the 302 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 2: places they were in, like forty three plays. Where do 303 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 2: you get your fantasy production, especially if they have three 304 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 2: receivers that are going to get the ball and two 305 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 2: backs are gonna get the ball. You love the skill, guys, 306 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: but the pie is tiny. 307 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. If you got Geno Smith as your starting quarterback 308 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 1: or those two wide receivers, you might be going to 309 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:30,839 Speaker 1: who Yeah good? 310 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 2: You know, like I'm sitting like I would. 311 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: I feel better maybe about Lockett. 312 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 2: I think Locketts still a by low. He's looking at 313 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 2: two points again, But I mean Seahawks might be something 314 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: to avoid. 315 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I don't want to start in that Lions 316 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: defense played. They played fine in Week one, but that 317 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: was more of the Chiefs misfiring than any. 318 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 2: Receivers not drop any balls anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I 319 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 2: don't know that I would look at the Lions and 320 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 2: be afraid of them, But mojokes. 321 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: If I was Gino Smith, I might be afraid of 322 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: them looking at what they have attack. Yeah. 323 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, we just picked up Jason Peters off the street 324 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: and he's gonna be starting left tackle. 325 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: Yeah that's not good. Uh. Romeo Dobbs for the U 326 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers with the hamstring was limited 327 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: in Wednesday's practice. He was limited last week and he 328 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: ended up playing through it. 329 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 2: Uh. 330 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: Not a great line of four for twenty six, but 331 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: he got two touchdowns. 332 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 2: Two touchdowns, Yeah, yeah, especially if Watson's out. 333 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: For the Buccaneers, Carlton Davis with a toe christianized him 334 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: with a concussion. He's a safety. Elijah Kntsey with the 335 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: CAF did not participate in practice on Wednesday. They're playing 336 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 1: the Bears this week. Looked at that defense is one 337 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: that maybe you might want to start, but there's. 338 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 2: The Yeah, they're pretty short on dudes though. Yeah, Bears 339 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: offense was awful last week. There's talk that Claypool's gonna 340 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 2: be an act of this week because they didn't like 341 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 2: his effort in week one. 342 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 1: There's a shock yeah right, but it's a Steelers fault 343 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: according to him. 344 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 2: I'm sure that he doesn't block anybody or tryard. I don't. 345 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 2: That's not gonna be a good game, obviously, but I 346 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: still think the Bucks are serviceable for fantasy. Yeah, use, 347 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: you know, Evans and those guys were fine. 348 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 1: Uh. Kway Walker for the Packers with a concussion did 349 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: not practice Wednesday. That's not looking. 350 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: That's looking good, I hope for him. 351 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: Christian Watson with the hamstring, did not practice. 352 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: Today, Okay. I mean he's one of those high strung Ferraris. 353 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 2: I mean some dubbs as a hamstring. Watson has a hamstring. 354 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: I'd be much worried about the speed long strider track 355 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 2: guy with the hamstring than the route runner tough guy, 356 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. 357 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: A little good news on the Mark Andrews front with 358 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: the quad injury. He did practice on Wednesday. Okay, so 359 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: that's big for them, huge for them. 360 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's obviously the will be I mean 361 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 2: that spends Jay Flowers looks like the one when Andrews 362 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 2: was out. I might sell a Flowers right now. 363 00:15:59,640 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: I would. 364 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean he looks great and I see I 365 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 2: get the buzz. But when Andrews comes back, I assume Andrew. 366 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: Andrews is going to be the number one. He's gonna 367 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: get pepper with targets. 368 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not gonna be Odell or Bateman. No. 369 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: The Broncos have signed little Jordan Humphrey to their practice 370 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 1: to their active roster. He was on the practice squad. 371 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: They elevated him last week. So he played last week, 372 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: he goes back onto the practice squad. But now they said, 373 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: you know what, he was good enough, We're going to 374 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: put him back on the fifty three man roster. They're 375 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: looking for somebody, anybody. 376 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 2: That doesn't sound like anything but boys Sean Payton shown 377 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 2: Remember he was a saint. 378 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: He was a saint. He brought him over from they 379 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 1: Yeah right, I. 380 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 2: Mean, I don't know if that's good or bad for Judy, 381 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: but I know it's bad for Sutton. And yeah, those 382 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: type of dudes. I mean, Peyton just wants his dudes. 383 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: It's crazy. 384 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's bizarre and he needs to change the culture. There, 385 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 2: I get it. But wow, I mean we've mentioned Mims 386 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 2: earlier in the show. Humphrey's played way more than Mems. 387 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: Yeah right. 388 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 2: Uh. 389 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: DJ Shark was back at practice on Wednesday for the 390 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: care line of Panthers. 391 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 2: They need anybody. Yeah, I mean I don't I wouldn't 392 00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 2: use him for fantasy. 393 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: But Aaron Jones with that hamstring injury, did not practice. 394 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 2: Uh. 395 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: If he doesn't play against the Falcons, that's who the Falcons. 396 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: He doesn't play against the Falcons. AJ Dillon becomes an 397 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: RB one yeah, I would. 398 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 2: Say I'm the only I did hear a quote from Jones, 399 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,639 Speaker 2: and I hate player quotes about health, but he said 400 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 2: I have done hamstring damage before. This feels nothing like it. 401 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 2: I think I'll be okay. But he's not a doctor either. 402 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. How about this, I didn't I missed this. The 403 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 1: Bengals released Layol Collins. 404 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, it happened yesterday, I think. 405 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, yesterday. The Patriots have expressed an interest in signing 406 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: him any offensive lineman they can get that. I mean 407 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: that tells you a lot about it, because there are 408 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: some other teams we just mentioned the Seahawks. 409 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 2: This two tackles, two tackles, and there's a lot of teams, 410 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 2: I mean, the Texans. Yeah, Tunsel's heard, and the rest 411 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 2: of the whole lines heard. Yeah, Leo Collins won't be unemployed. 412 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: The Vikings like, yeah, yeah, he. 413 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 2: Won't be unemployed long. But he's far from great. 414 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, he's he was another one of those big Oh 415 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: there's great signing by the look what the look at 416 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 1: the Bengals did here, and they gave him a bad 417 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 1: ten million dollars a year to be a bummer. 418 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: And they moved Williams to the right side, and that's 419 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 2: why he's not in the mix. And Williams wasn't good 420 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 2: on the left side. 421 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: I mentioned Christian daris saw he is questionable for Week 422 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 1: two against the Eagles. Short week, it's a short week. 423 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: It's tough. 424 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 2: He's super important to them though. 425 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, Garrett Bradbury will not play in this game. 426 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,439 Speaker 2: Good or bad. I mean, I think it's bad for 427 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 2: the real world. If you're a Vikings fan. Good if 428 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 2: you have Cousins and Addison and Jefferson. I don't think 429 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 2: they're gonna run on Philly. They didn't run last week 430 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 2: at all. So if Cousins is dropping back fifty times 431 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 2: against that pass rush, that's seventy sacks last year. You 432 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 2: better If Christian darasaw left tackle, yeah right. 433 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean big time. H Andrew Thomas with the Giants, 434 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 1: their left tackle did not practice on Wednesday. He's dealing 435 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: with the hamstring injury. 436 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 2: That's huge for them. Anyone that watched a Sunday Night 437 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 2: or Evan Neil, the other first round pick, is garbage 438 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 2: at right tackle. He may get be They have a 439 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 2: rookie center and Schmid's who we liked. The guards are bad. 440 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 2: Thomas is everything we said last week about Trent Williams 441 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 2: of leave that guy by himself and then help the 442 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 2: other four. That's what the Giants had, kind of like 443 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: Kunsole with him of that troublesome They do play the Cardinals, Yeah, 444 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: I would just hand the Barkley one hundred times. 445 00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: I like that. 446 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 2: Design. Jones runs Barkley. 447 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd say twenty five touches for Barkley this week. 448 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: There's three or four ugly matchups. Oh yeah, Bears Bucks. 449 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: You know Travis Kelcey returned to practice on Wednesday. 450 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 2: No, everyone poked the big red Bear. 451 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,440 Speaker 1: He's gonna be listed to probably as a limited participant, 452 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: but he's gonna play this week. Yeah. 453 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 2: They have the Jags, which is not an easy matchup. 454 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 1: Of course that should be a sneaky not a sneaky 455 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: high scoring game. But I would expect that have to 456 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: go upen down there. Yeah, I think so, because I 457 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: don't know how much Chris Jones plays true, I mean, 458 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: he may be twenty five snaps this week. 459 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 2: I think the Drags are playing a lot of overgames. Yeah, 460 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 2: Ridley looks awesome, Lawrence looks awesome, and I doubt about 461 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 2: their defense, let alone playing my homes. 462 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: Speaking of those tight ends, here our final one, Darren 463 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: Wallers accord this. According to the New York Daily News, 464 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: Pat Leonard, Waller's hamstring injury could be a lingering issue 465 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: for quite a while. This is just what you wanted 466 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:20,920 Speaker 1: to hear. 467 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm overreacting to week one, to nobody's to 468 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: no end. But the news coming out of the New 469 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 2: York with the Giants, they look like a five win team. 470 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: I mean, like if Waller's that's what. 471 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: We thought they were going to be going into last year. 472 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 2: And the. 473 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: Coach of the year, this is what happens. And I 474 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: don't think Jones is a good your backslide everybody's well, 475 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: Brian Davill is a great head coach. 476 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 2: Is he is? He? Yeah? I mean he did great 477 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 2: work with what he had last year. 478 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: You snuck up on some people. You're not doing that 479 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: this year. 480 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: No, and you're losing Thomas and Waller and those guys. 481 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: Yeah. Not good. Not pretty at all, Not pretty at all. 482 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: But it's kind of a lengthy relisted around the league. 483 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 2: There was some some something I didn't know about, some big. 484 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: Name guys that you know, it could be missing some 485 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: time here, So very much so that does not bode well. 486 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 2: I mean, this happens every year. I mean we should 487 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 2: ever be surprised when bad things happen week the week 488 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 2: in the league. But bad things are happening in the. 489 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 1: League, absolutely, and it does. That's why you want to draft. Well, 490 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: don't hit the panic button on your team if you 491 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 1: started off ohing one nothing in the world. But okay, 492 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 1: I had t Higgins and I had who else, Dallas Goddard. Yeah, like, 493 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: don't hit the panic buttons. Like those guys don't. 494 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: Cut them, I know, don't you know. 495 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: You drafted them where you drafted them for a reason. Yeah, 496 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: it was a bad week. 497 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 2: Like my son's league. I used to laugh at when 498 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,199 Speaker 2: they were like six, but now they're all seventeen and 499 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 2: they know a thing or two. 500 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: The dude that drafted, well, at least they think they do. 501 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 2: He's been taught pretty well. But the dude that drafted 502 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 2: Kelsey in the first round right before the season traded 503 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 2: him straight up for Waller when he got hurt. Oh, 504 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 2: for God's sake, you know, like, don't do that. I mean, 505 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 2: don't trade cup for. 506 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: Those kind of trades are the reason why there are commissions, 507 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: there are leagues out there that have commissioners that can 508 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: veto trades because of dumb stuff like that. 509 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 2: So don't go panicking totally. I mean, if you drafted 510 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 2: cup or Taylor before. 511 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 1: The you knew what it was. 512 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean part of it. 513 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 1: So anyways, we're going to take another break.

We just talked about some of this here. Uh. 520 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: This from Jeff Diamond on the thirty third team. He 521 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: singles out five teams that should be worried the most 522 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 1: after week One's. 523 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 2: Come to mind after our last segment. 524 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: Well, they're the number one team, are they? 525 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 2: New York? 526 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 1: First? Up here on here the New York Giants. He says, Yes, 527 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are a talented team on both sides of 528 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 1: the ball, but this was alarmingly bad home The. 529 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: Giants lost to see in the league. Yeah, it really was. 530 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 1: Dallas sacked Daniel Jones seven times, held the Giants tw 531 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy one total yards scored on a block, 532 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: field goal return and a pick six. 533 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 2: It felt like they could have sacked Jones a dozen times. Yeah, 534 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 2: I mean it really did. And what worries me is 535 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 2: the Andrew Thomas stuff we talked about last you know segment. 536 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 2: He's their best offensive player, most important. But you're build 537 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 2: around a running back and a running quarterback who I 538 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 2: don't think is a very good player. You know, is 539 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 2: Jones going to pull this offense by those bootstraps and 540 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 2: you'll put him on his back? No? So I don't 541 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 2: know how what digs you out of the hole. 542 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 1: And so they have a game. They played the Cardinals 543 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 1: this week. 544 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 2: That's one thing to get dig out. 545 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: Yeah maybe, But then they play at San Francisco on 546 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 1: Thursday night. So it's a short week in San Francisco. Yuck, 547 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 1: home to Seattle, at Miami and at Buffalo. 548 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:10,120 Speaker 2: Oh man, they could lose Arizona, like I don't think 549 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 2: they will, Yeah, but they better not. 550 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that has all the makings of like a 551 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: one to five four. Yeah, you know, is that gonna 552 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 1: be seventeen ten? 553 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? 554 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,479 Speaker 1: It was something along those lines. Yeah, yuck. Yeah, they 555 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: should be worried Seattle. 556 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 2: All the reason we have talked about the injuries. 557 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: Said entering the season, the Seahawks thought they were in 558 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: position the battle San Francisco for the NFC title NFC 559 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: West title. The forty nine Ers did their part, beating 560 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: the Steelers thirty to seven on the road. Not so 561 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 1: much for Seattle. In Week one, they played the Rams, 562 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: coming off a five and twelve season and rebuilding mode, 563 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 1: and got outscored twenty three to nothing in the second 564 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: half to lose thirty to thirteen. 565 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 2: Again, they hardly ran any plays, they got two offensive 566 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 2: tackles that are injured, their quarterback could turn into a pumpkin, 567 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,080 Speaker 2: and they lost in the Rams played well, maybe. 568 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: You know Smith at one hundred and twelve passing yards 569 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: in the Yeah he was Geno Smith. Yeah, like the 570 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: outlier is now those first eight or nine games of 571 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: last season of his whole career, of his whole career. 572 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: Yeah career. 573 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like they may have bought into this thing and 574 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, maybe going ooh, maybe he's 575 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: not the guy we thought he was. 576 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: Maybe they should have taken Richardson or even Levis or 577 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 2: you know, somebody have some kind of backup planing. They don't. 578 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: They don't have one. Though their road games ahead in 579 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: the first half of the season at the Giants Cincinnati 580 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: and Baltimore, then weeks twelve through fifteen San Francisco at Dallas, 581 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 1: at San Francisco, and then Philadelphia at home. 582 00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, well, I mean this applies to the 583 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 2: whole AFC North, but Seattle's on the schedule. Yeah, I 584 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: mean it doesn't look as bad as it once did. 585 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 1: The Vikings. 586 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 2: They lost. 587 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 1: The Bucks lost to the Bucks. They scored seventeen as 588 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 1: much as they moved the ball. Seventeen points. 589 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 2: Week O two is brutal. 590 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, and oh, by the way, Kirk Cousins playing the 591 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: game at night on you know what that looks like. Yeah, 592 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 1: that was a They scored seventeen points and Jefferson had 593 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: seven catches for one hundred and thirty yards in the 594 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: first half. He was targeted twice in the second half 595 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: of that game. 596 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't realize that twice. 597 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: Man two catches for twelve yards. 598 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 2: No running game, injured star left tackle, bad defense, slightly 599 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 2: above average quarterback who's on his contract year. 600 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: Yeah not not good. 601 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 2: Another one that doesn't have a quarterback sitting in the wings, 602 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 2: Herndon Hooker or something like that. 603 00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: Over the next seven weeks they play games. Well, first week, 604 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: this week they play Philly. Yeah, good luck with that. 605 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: Then they have the games coming up against the Chargers, 606 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the forty nine Ers, and at at Green Bay. 607 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 2: The forty nine Ers are like jaws just looming is looming? Yeah? 608 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, yuck. 609 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really bad. 610 00:26:58,600 --> 00:26:59,880 Speaker 1: He has the Bengals on here. 611 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 2: I wouldn't lump them with those other three. 612 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 1: He said. Okay, here's what he says. Anything can happen 613 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: in a division rivalry game, especially in rainy weather on 614 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: the road. Still, the ineptitude of Joe Burrow and the 615 00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 1: Bengals was totally unexpected. 616 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 2: Well not, I mean it was really bad though. 617 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: It was really bad. And the twenty four to three 618 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: loss to the Browns the day after he signed a 619 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 1: five year, they two hundred and seventy five million dollar extension. 620 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 2: Not the best. 621 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: Look, yea, Burrow completed fourteen of thirty one passes for 622 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: eighty two yards. 623 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: We just maybe the highest played player in the history 624 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 2: in the history of the league, and you maybe were 625 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,239 Speaker 2: the worst player in the league the next day like 626 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 2: that doesn't that's not great. 627 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, Burrow has never won in Cleveland. He's zero and three, 628 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: and perhaps that calf injury that kept him out of 629 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 1: the ball of training camp is limiting him. That's something 630 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 1: we talked about. Yeah, that could be a problem. The 631 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: Cincinnati offense went three and out seven times. 632 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 2: Which nuts. Yeah, over and over produced six first downs all. 633 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: Day, two sacks and ten quarterback hits. 634 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 2: And they still, you know, it couldn't have been more miserable. 635 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,239 Speaker 1: Couldn't get the ball to to Jamar Chase who had 636 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: thirty nine receiving yards and t Higgins who had. 637 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 2: Zero I think sixteen targets between the two of them 638 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: were produced thirty seven receiving Ye. 639 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: Still, that's yeah, that's not what you're looking for. 640 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 2: I think they'll rebound. 641 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that the Ravens team has all been 642 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 1: up teams. You know we mentioned, but here's what Beginning 643 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: in Week eight, the Bengals play at San Francisco, at Baltimore, 644 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: at Jacksonville, and at Kansas City. 645 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 2: Knew that was coming. Yeah, at least it's not the 646 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 2: next four games. 647 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: It's not, but those are four difficult, like that's road 648 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: of success. 649 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 2: Place team and a good division. 650 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 1: This is what we talked about, and we said, well, 651 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: maybe the Steelers have a chance, or somebody else other 652 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: than Cincinnati has a chance to win this division. 653 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 2: I mean, if I was Rounds Nation Radio right now, 654 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 2: I'd be like, these are three teams look susceptible more 655 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: than they used to. 656 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, the final team on here, the Kansas City Chiefs. 657 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not worried at all about them. 658 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: Said, the Chiefs look like a shadow of their defending 659 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl championship selves. On opening night, at one point, 660 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,160 Speaker 1: Home lost to the Lions. Patrick Mahomes was victimized by 661 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: his best receiving threat to Travis Kelcey missing the game 662 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: because of a knee injury, and Kadarius Tony, who had 663 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: three costly drops, one deflected Theront Lions rookie safety Brian 664 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: Branch return it for a touchdowns. The Chiefs were an 665 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: uncharacteristic five of ten or five of fifteen, I'm sorry. 666 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: On third and fourth downs, the Kansas City only sacked 667 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: jer Goff once and had four hits on him, obviously 668 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: missing Chris Jones. 669 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 2: I think you just said the Steelers was a fifth one. 670 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: Well, The reason I think you worry about the Chiefs 671 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: is because to me, the tackles look bad very and 672 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: the receivers, the receivers not named Travis Kelcey, are a 673 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: huge issue. This is what we when they got rid 674 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,520 Speaker 1: of Tyreek Hill last year. But well, we'll see what 675 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: they what their offense looks well, I mean they had 676 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,240 Speaker 1: Juju Smith, Schuster, they had. 677 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 2: Some professionals and some professionals. 678 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, they don't have that now. 679 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,080 Speaker 2: They don't. They don't. I mean, frankly, there are eleven 680 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 2: offensive players. All are below average except the interior, O line, 681 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 2: the tight end, and the quarterback. Yeah. I mean the 682 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 2: running backs aren't great either. I mean, to expand on 683 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: what you said, I'm not worried, just lice a bit 684 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 2: about them. I wish I had the problems the Chiefs have. 685 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 2: You know, there's thirty one teams out there going. I'll 686 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 2: switch with you. Maybe there's twenty five teams right now. 687 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you look at and go, well, we'll 688 00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 1: take Mahomes and Kelsey. I don't let you take necessarily 689 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 1: the rest of it. 690 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 2: No. I mean, but Jones isn't holding out, and Kelsey 691 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 2: looks like he's coming back. 692 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, but we'll see. 693 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 2: I mean it's I'm sure you're gonna say the Steelers 694 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 2: because they know the national right up would have been. 695 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 2: They got embarrassed by the Niners. Now they don't have Cam, 696 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 2: Nowaday don't Deontae. They better win this division game or 697 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 2: they're in big trouble. I'm not as mean, I'm not 698 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 2: super worried. No, I'm more worried about the Steelers and 699 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 2: the Chiefs in terms of being able to you know, 700 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 2: what their success will be this year. Yeah, I still 701 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 2: have I'm probably could come with five other teams that 702 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: are in this boat. 703 00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I still have faith that you know this, This 704 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 1: Steelers team is pretty good. 705 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,280 Speaker 2: I do too, and a win would go a very 706 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 2: very long way. You know. 707 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 1: I think teams like Tennessee, well. 708 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 2: That whole division not named Jacksonville. 709 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it like Tanneyhill looked like super bad. 710 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 1: Maybe even Chicago, like Chicago's body be in line for 711 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,400 Speaker 1: the first overall pick again again and not have a quarterback. 712 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:36,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, big pictures stuff. 713 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: I mean, Arizona, you expected that kind. 714 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: Of Let's see this big step forward by the Bears. 715 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 2: Panthers look terrible. 716 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: I mean, if are you worried about the Bills. The 717 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: offensive line is the problem. 718 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 2: Put the Bengals and Chiefs on the list. The Bills 719 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 2: are probably right there with them for that conversation. I 720 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 2: bet they make the bet, all three of them. 721 00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the Jets should be on here. 722 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 2: If I'm yet, we're not even talking about the Elephant room. Yeah. Yeah, 723 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 2: the Jets should be on there. 724 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you geared up, then this is your Hey, 725 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: we're all in this year and it's not going to 726 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: happen this year. 727 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 2: No, No, the Jets should be on there. I'm trying 728 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 2: to think anybody else. I mean, teams like Denver I'd 729 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 2: have high hopes for. Yeah, Chargers defense. 730 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: Chargers should be on there, like, oh, hey, this defense 731 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,080 Speaker 1: is not fixed and you're spending they're spending a lot 732 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: of money funds on their defense, and it's not good. 733 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 2: They're spending a lot of money, period. But even on 734 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 2: the defense, j C. Jackson, Bosa mac Derwin, guys are 735 00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 2: making money. Yeah, and they're not They're good, not great players, 736 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: Jacy Jacks. 737 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: J C. Jackson's a cap hit a seventeen million this year. 738 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: Khalilo signings in the last couple of years. 739 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: Khalil mack is sixteen. These are their top paid players. 740 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: The three top paid players are j. C. Jackson, Khalil 741 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: Mack Joey Bosa seventeen million, sixteen six, fifteen eight for 742 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: those three players. Yeah, and you're getting nothing on them. 743 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,640 Speaker 1: They're paying Austin Johnson nine point five million. 744 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 2: Says they have some really bad contracts. 745 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Michael Davis is nine point four million dollars. 746 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: He's a cornerback. By the way, in case people. 747 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 2: Didn't know that, the guys are. 748 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Derwin James is nine point one million this year, 749 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: like these of your top ten. 750 00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 2: Ten and Allen were both around twenty and they kicked 751 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 2: it down the can for next year, right and oh, 752 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 2: by the way, he just made Herbert like the third 753 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:25,920 Speaker 2: highest paid player in the league. Yeah, that's gonna kick 754 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 2: in next year. 755 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: Two of your top eight contracts, like six of them 756 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,200 Speaker 1: are on defense. And your defense stinks. 757 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 2: Your defense stinks, and your head coach the defensive guy. Yeah, 758 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,320 Speaker 2: not good. 759 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: You know at some point you're going to pay for 760 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,080 Speaker 1: Sean Slater. You know you're gonna have to pay. You 761 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: know you're paying. You're paying Herbert. Now. Echolar's out there going, hey, 762 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: what about me? 763 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:47,280 Speaker 2: He's not getting it. Yeah, yeah, oh no, it's they're 764 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 2: not as bad off as the Browns. No, no, but 765 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 2: it's kind of like win now or never. 766 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, because after this get you know, your quarterbacks contract 767 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: kicks in Staley. 768 00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 2: Seat has to be hot. Yeah, yeah, should be a lift. Well, so, 769 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 2: I mean I'm more worried about them than the Bengals 770 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 2: or Chiefs. 771 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: And I would say, you know Denver, Yeah, like people thought, oh, 772 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 1: Sean Payton's gonna come in and fix this team. 773 00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,839 Speaker 2: Just lost at home the Raiders. Yeah, I mean, and 774 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 2: you never they hardly ever lose in September in Denver. 775 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. 776 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 2: Right now they get back to back games here, and 777 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 2: if you get oh and two there and then you 778 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 2: got a bunch of road games coming up. 779 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,120 Speaker 1: Didn't fix anything like supposed Well, you're gonna let Russ 780 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,400 Speaker 1: cook again here, let's let's get Russ going here. Rus 781 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: will fix Russ's career. Maybe Russ's career isn't fixable. 782 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 2: There might not be, or I mean maybe you get 783 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 2: him back to average and then you're a seven win team. Great. 784 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not what you traded away a bunch of 785 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 1: first round picks and stuff for. No, this is what 786 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: you know when when we talk about this and there 787 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 1: were Steeler fans out there, Steelers should trade for Russell Wilson, 788 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 1: Steelers should trade for Aaron Aaron Rodgers. Be careful what 789 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:48,399 Speaker 1: you wish for. 790 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, you wouldn't have you wouldn't have Roderick Jones and 791 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 2: amongst other things. And therefore you're using other research, I 792 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 2: mean those things. 793 00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: And yeah, yeah, the Broncos gave up pick and players. 794 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, some useful ones too. 795 00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:05,399 Speaker 1: Yeah to go, get to go get Russell Wilson and 796 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:06,080 Speaker 1: he's not good. 797 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, and back to Seattle. They might really regret not 798 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,279 Speaker 2: using one of those picks on some kind of young quarterback. Yeah, 799 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,240 Speaker 2: I mean you kind of got to you gotta start 800 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 2: over card and you didn't use it. You know, you 801 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 2: trusted Geno. That might cost you. 802 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the you know, for the for the Jets, 803 00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: he traded the way it now it turns out to 804 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 1: be a second round pick for Aaron Rodgers. They give 805 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: up a first issue too, Yeah, first issue. 806 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:35,520 Speaker 2: Right, No, was it just a toe because they drafted 807 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 2: the edge rusher out of Iowa state when the Steelers 808 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 2: jumped up with Rogers Jones, But you're paying him McDonald Rogers. 809 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Rogers cost you a bunch of money. 810 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 2: And then you go out. I mean, of course everyone 811 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 2: doesn't have a crystal ball, but if you knew that 812 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,520 Speaker 2: Rogers was going to give you four snaps, you don't 813 00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,600 Speaker 2: go sign Dalvin Cook and Lazard and Cobb and all 814 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 2: these other things that goes with it, you know, and 815 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 2: you don't have a lot of resources to get your 816 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 2: next quarterback. 817 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,279 Speaker 1: Yeah. The problem is so Aaron Rodgers' contract hit. His 818 00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 1: cap hit this year is eight point nine million dollars. 819 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 2: I bet next year's awful, though. 820 00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 1: His dead cap is seventy four million dollars. Seventy four 821 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: million dollars. I mean, you put yourself in a Tom 822 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 1: Brady situation because if he doesn't play next year, it's. 823 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 2: A I bet he doesn't. 824 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: His dead cap is sixty six million dollars. Yeah, oh 825 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: my god. 826 00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean some of these contracts, I mean him 827 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 2: and Watson are the obvious ones. I mean, Watson's right 828 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 2: in that neighborhood too for the Browns. But Herbert and 829 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 2: Burrow are cheap. This year. You just made them the 830 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,920 Speaker 2: richest players in the league.
