Speaker 1: that's going on about it, Greggy. Here we are week
Speaker 1: twelve in the books, Thanksgiving, now behind us, getting ready
Speaker 1: for the Fantasy playoffs, and of course trying to figure
Speaker 1: out how to replace Melvin Gordon. Well, the answer is
Speaker 1: that's easy answer these answers. You don't replace Melvin. You don't, no, man, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I missed you, man. I feel he's been a while
Speaker 1: since we hung out. Yeah. I was just thinking that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: because I did a show. I did the Thursday Morning
Speaker 1: show on Thanksgiving. It was like it was really the
Speaker 1: first show. It was the first show a long time. Um. Besides,
Speaker 1: we were gone for one day that I feel like
Speaker 1: I've done that yet. It was weird. It's very weird.
Speaker 1: Mike Blewett and Gabe, how did that show go? The
Speaker 1: chemistry wasn't the same? Wasn't the same? They weren't dancing
Speaker 1: with you or anything? No, no, no pop culture references.
Speaker 1: No Dave matt Use band talk three days wait to
Speaker 1: go to the concert though, that'd be fun. Nice you're

Speaker 1: I have tickets ready. It's a week now. I'm already
Speaker 1: in the LEADU. I'm going to the playoffs and locked
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I'm not. I'm not. Oh the sweet
Speaker 1: sweet revenge, Greggy. Remember yes, our best friend forever Michael
Speaker 1: Florio remember what he too timed me to get Anthony
Speaker 1: Miller times son of a gun. He also picked up
Speaker 1: a Garrett Blunt and start room. I'm Thanksgiving? How about hilarious?
Speaker 1: Started the Garrett Blunt but annoying. I'm up nineteen points
Speaker 1: and he is kiki QT tonight tonight, I think I'm
Speaker 1: in the clear. I feel pretty good. I'm confident. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna say it's over, because anything can happen, but
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good. Get my revenge against Michael Florio.
Speaker 1: Good job, Brandy. How's your Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving? It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. It It was my Uh it was my
Speaker 1: first Thanksgiving where I didn't spend a little of it
Speaker 1: at home because obviously engaged. Now you gotta kind of
Speaker 1: gotta please all parties involved. So half at King's house
Speaker 1: to eat food, and then I went over to my
Speaker 1: house for dessert, drank a bunch, woke up drinking some mimoses,
Speaker 1: and watch the parade, then watch football all day, eat family. Yeah,
Speaker 1: fun shop On Friday, that uh, not really stuff because
Speaker 1: I found out that, uh, I had to make an
Speaker 1: appearance on television Greg because I'm a big shot now.
Speaker 1: So I spent a lot of Friday night studying for
Speaker 1: my appearance on w l n Y. It was good.
Speaker 1: It's better or worse than your first appearance. It was
Speaker 1: definitely better, a little bit more comfortable. I also went
Speaker 1: for for four and one on the picks that I recommended.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Oh hit me back, Grego. Now
Speaker 1: they already asked me about like December and stuff. So awesome.
Speaker 1: We'll find out that great man. How was how was
Speaker 1: your Thanksgiving? Your weekend shopping experience? You know what? Thursday?
Speaker 1: It was good, thanks it was fine. I was here
Speaker 1: for a little while and we uh, I went out
Speaker 1: to my dad's and and are you a big parade guy?
Speaker 1: You were like, watch it on TV or attend it?
Speaker 1: I mean I watched it out here to the last
Speaker 1: couple of years. Yeah, I went out during a commersional
Speaker 1: watch it. But my sisters are really big. My sister
Speaker 1: and mom are really big into the parade. I'm not
Speaker 1: really I don't care about it, um, but Scrooge Friday
Speaker 1: was the best. Friday was the best. So great sleeping,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I don't know for you, but
Speaker 1: just like for me, sleeping in relaxing. So I got home.
Speaker 1: So I got home to my apartment like eleven o'cock
Speaker 1: or so. On Thursday, I watched they watched wrestling, to
Speaker 1: watch the end of the Thursday the Saints game, and
Speaker 1: then I watched a little wrestling, and I fell asleep
Speaker 1: through the AJ style. You no clue, I haven't watched it. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: so I went to bed. The best part was Judy
Speaker 1: was in Philly with her family, so myself, oh, single
Speaker 1: Greg and the back to paddle along. And it was
Speaker 1: like the first time, like a week day, like it
Speaker 1: wasn't like on the weekends, like we have some day
Speaker 1: with Saturday and Sunday morning programming, right, so like I'm
Speaker 1: on call for that stuff, like I gotta help, I
Speaker 1: gotta help certain issues. So most days before the show,
Speaker 1: like somebody calls me for whatever reason. But there was
Speaker 1: there was no live programming early in the morning on Friday,
Speaker 1: so I slept like eleven on Friday. I was like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, dude, it was like the latest n
Speaker 1: I've slept in a long time. And I just I
Speaker 1: slept straight through the night and like we wake up
Speaker 1: a million times. I was spread out through the bed.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, this is the best day ever,
Speaker 1: the best day ever. And I just laid there. I
Speaker 1: watched a bunch of TV on Friday that I had
Speaker 1: dinner my mom, then went shopping on Saturday. Good weekend, man,
Speaker 1: really big weekend for the sun and then I came
Speaker 1: home and I didn't have to hang out on Sunday,
Speaker 1: so they want to get home quickly. That was on
Speaker 1: my couch all day watching football. It was awesome, great,
Speaker 1: great weekend, forty weekend. We're we're we're vitalized. We're re energized.
Speaker 1: Here the stretch run for the Fantasy playoffs. Greggy, have
Speaker 1: you ever seen the movie Just Friends. It's also on
Speaker 1: the list of like stupid funny like movies Ryan Reynolds.
Speaker 1: They should see Ryan Reynolds things. But I don't think
Speaker 1: I know that one. Well, that's a big like Thanksgiving tradition,
Speaker 1: watch throughout the holidays for my family. It's extremely funny movie.
Speaker 1: You should watch it. Okay, it's a good one. So
Speaker 1: I also did that on Thanksgiving. Um ready yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: So we watched football yesterday. Also, just for the record
Speaker 1: a little bit, I watched a lot of it. It's
Speaker 1: a lot of it. Yeah, okay, cool. So I watched
Speaker 1: a lot of football yesterday and here are takeaways. Melvin
Speaker 1: Gordon thing charges messed up. Huh. Yeah, he was questionable
Speaker 1: for this game. A lot of people asking us yesterday
Speaker 1: whether or not he was whether he was gonna play.
Speaker 1: They were worried about it. We're getting questions Saturday night.
Speaker 1: It's like nobody really don't know until we know. But
Speaker 1: then obvious, So he played, and you know he did
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon things. I mean, he's still scored, still scored
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in this game on only uh on only
Speaker 1: ten carries, also had two receptions. But yeah, re injured
Speaker 1: his knee in this one. Looks like he's gonna miss
Speaker 1: the next few weeks. Obviously the biggest story. And I
Speaker 1: know a lot of people, you know, this is what
Speaker 1: they get frustrated about Melvin Gordon. I know, last year,
Speaker 1: I believe you only missed one game, but in years
Speaker 1: past he has missed time. He has trouble, you know,
Speaker 1: finishing out seasons. But you can't be too mad at
Speaker 1: the guy. I mean, like like Craig said, it's that
Speaker 1: he shouldn't have been playing in this game. They were
Speaker 1: what fourteen point favorites when it was all said and
Speaker 1: done against the Cardinals. They probably didn't need him to
Speaker 1: win this game. That one of my thirty five points,
Speaker 1: they won my thirty five points in this game. And
Speaker 1: now it looks like he's gonna miss at least the
Speaker 1: next two games they faced. They faced the Chiefs three
Speaker 1: weeks from now, so you'd have to imagine they play
Speaker 1: the Steelers next week. He's definitely not playing in that one.
Speaker 1: Then they play the Cincinnati Bengals. The way the Bengals
Speaker 1: are playing right now, their defense can't stop anybody. They
Speaker 1: likely don't need Melvin Gordon for that game, So you
Speaker 1: let him sit up the next two weeks. Will healthy
Speaker 1: come the Chiefs in Will that be week? I don't
Speaker 1: think nobody knows, but I I'm gonna I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: out there and predict that that's probably the next time
Speaker 1: we see Melvin. Go. Yeah, I don't think that. I
Speaker 1: don't think you'll see him that soon, I think, And
Speaker 1: we wanted for that because fantasy playoffs in this great
Speaker 1: match up. From what we've seen, this is agreede to
Speaker 1: m C. L. Spray, which is, you know, more significant
Speaker 1: than the Grade one obviously, and I think they'll keep
Speaker 1: him out for a good amount of time. Unfortunately, and
Speaker 1: after we gave the charges all this credit for sitting
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon out in London going into the bye, and
Speaker 1: he was and he's trying to talk his way into
Speaker 1: playing Ethnicnes like, you know what, we have a byby
Speaker 1: coming up. Let's rest doesn't get this right, something happened here, Frank,
Speaker 1: like the Chargers have their eye on the playoffs, not
Speaker 1: a win against the Arizona Cardinals, which ultimately you couldn't
Speaker 1: need Melvin Gordon four and given that they scored forty
Speaker 1: two unanswered points, they didn't And to let him talk
Speaker 1: him players are always gonna want to play for the
Speaker 1: most part, to let him talk himself into this game
Speaker 1: after you were so smart about this earlier in the
Speaker 1: year and you had control over the situation, to lose
Speaker 1: control to let a player talk himself in the game
Speaker 1: that you you don't want to. You don't want him
Speaker 1: to be hurt for the stretch. And I understand this
Speaker 1: isn't It was not the hamstring. He hurt his knee,
Speaker 1: and maybe they are unrelated, maybe they are right. Maybe
Speaker 1: his needs which the wrong way and maybe bang the
Speaker 1: wrong way and it's nothing to do with the hamstring.
Speaker 1: But this is a bad call by I thought, Anthony Lynn,
Speaker 1: the Charges the organization, Yeah, definitely. And now you know
Speaker 1: we're looking at Austin Ekeler to see, you know, what
Speaker 1: will his usage be while Melvin Gordon is out. And
Speaker 1: in Week seven, when Melvin Gordon missed that game, Austin
Speaker 1: Ekeler played of the snaps. In that game, he had
Speaker 1: twelve carries. He also had five receptions. That was against
Speaker 1: the Titans. He didn't perform well, but the Titans run
Speaker 1: defense has actually been pretty good this year. And then
Speaker 1: yesterday Austin Ekeler weird game for the Charges running back
Speaker 1: back over roll because by the time that they realized
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon was ruled out for the game, they were
Speaker 1: already up so big. So Austin Ekeler only saw of
Speaker 1: the snaps yesterday five carries, did have ten receptions though
Speaker 1: was targeted eleven times um. And then Justin Jackson also
Speaker 1: played thirteen snaps yesterday. He rushed seven times for fifty
Speaker 1: seven yards. So obviously, if you own Austin Ekeler with
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, you think you're in the clear. But if
Speaker 1: you don't own Austin Ekeler, you know, we talk about
Speaker 1: fab every single week at this point in the season.
Speaker 1: You know a lot of people don't have a lot
Speaker 1: of fab left. If you were a Melvin Gordon owner
Speaker 1: and you don't have Keler you're I think I think
Speaker 1: you know you didn't necessarily mess up. I mean, you
Speaker 1: want to have your handcuff. But if you didn't, you're
Speaker 1: gonna want to be aggressive to try and get Justin Jackson.
Speaker 1: Because I don't know that Austin Ekeler is just going
Speaker 1: to Justin Jackson. Yeah, that's right converted. I mean he
Speaker 1: plays that he plays in the Sacramento Kings, right Greg.
Speaker 1: So they just suited him up yesterday for the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers. But seriously, I mean, he looked good yesterday.
Speaker 1: Seven carries, fifty seven yards, eight point one yards per carry.
Speaker 1: I know a few people we are talking him up
Speaker 1: throughout the preseason. Um believe he's a rookie, right Dustin Jackson.
Speaker 1: They just they just drafted him this past year, so
Speaker 1: they're excited about him. I don't know that Austin Ekeler
Speaker 1: is gonna touch the ball as often as Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: did in his absence all these not you do, you
Speaker 1: don't have this guess you know that that that's not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. There's not even even so like when when
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon was doing his thing this year, Austin Neckler
Speaker 1: was still touching the ball. So definitely Austin Ekeler. You
Speaker 1: look at him, maybe touched the ball in Melvin Gordon's
Speaker 1: absence at least fifteen times. Maybe his ceiling is twenty.
Speaker 1: But Justin Jackson is going to see the ball at
Speaker 1: least eight ten times a game. I agree, But but
Speaker 1: I think that's more of a desperation play than anything else.
Speaker 1: With nobody being done with boys, I'm not spending if
Speaker 1: I'm not on Elvin Gordon er, which I'm not anywhere. Actually,
Speaker 1: I agree with Justin Jackson. But Austin Ekeler, are we
Speaker 1: talking RB one? Well the next couple of weeks, No,
Speaker 1: he's not. He's um he's a high end RB two.
Speaker 1: I would say he's in that ringe. It doesn't matter
Speaker 1: because it doesn't matter what using even matter what he's
Speaker 1: locked and loaded into your line up. Philip Rivers was
Speaker 1: saantastic yesterday his first twenty five keenan now got rolling.
Speaker 1: Mike Williams look good yesterday being the big guy in
Speaker 1: the end zone. The big guy Greggy caught all four
Speaker 1: of his targets twenty five yards and two touchdowns. I
Speaker 1: don't really know why the Chargers don't You who's Mike
Speaker 1: Williams more because he certainly looks the part, especially in
Speaker 1: the red zone. They just throw it up to him.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a huge human being and he's scoring
Speaker 1: touchdowns at a great rate. So I wish that they
Speaker 1: would just kind of like phase out everybody else, like
Speaker 1: we don't need a little Travis Benjamin like three or
Speaker 1: four targets a week. You know, Tyroll Williams has been
Speaker 1: fine for this team, but he's a He's an impending
Speaker 1: free agent as well, so is he gonna be part
Speaker 1: of the future. Maybe they bring him back. But they
Speaker 1: use a very high draft pick on Mike Williams, So
Speaker 1: I I wish they would just kind of like, alright,
Speaker 1: let's let's kill all this other noise around and let's
Speaker 1: just run the offense through Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon went healthy. Now Austin Ekeler, but I think
Speaker 1: that would be ideal. That would be awesome for fantasy purposes.
Speaker 1: So Mike Williams actually had to start him in the
Speaker 1: league yesterday like desperation, didn't want to, so that was
Speaker 1: that was great, But uh, you know, Keenan Allen is
Speaker 1: keeping up that streak. Now four weeks in a row
Speaker 1: where he's had at least a hundred yards or a touchdown.
Speaker 1: He's doing that thing again where he just takes over
Speaker 1: in the second halves of seasons. So Keenan Allen, you
Speaker 1: feel great about him. I know some people were asking
Speaker 1: me about Philip Rivers over the weekend. Do I started
Speaker 1: hammling Lamar Jackson. Everyone is getting excited about Jackson and
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston and Baker Mayfield. Just start with little Rivers
Speaker 1: every week. Stop questioning it. In three touchdowns even in
Speaker 1: a so so matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. I think
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers has had multiple touchdowns in every game this year. Greg, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what are we questioning at this point? I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just because every single game this year, Greg, six
Speaker 1: touchdown to I N T ratio. Philip Rivers playing the
Speaker 1: best of his career at age thirty six. It's crazy
Speaker 1: that Philip Rivers bet Roethlisberger both playing really good football.
Speaker 1: Get Ben in just one second. Eli Manning obviously a
Speaker 1: very much the league downside of his career. Well, what
Speaker 1: are you talking about? Greg? I think he was I
Speaker 1: thought he was a great DFS play this week. You
Speaker 1: were you You weren't on Eli Manning against Philadelphia Eagles, Greg, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: he wasn't. Frank he was in your cash game line
Speaker 1: ups yesterday. No he wasn't. Frank be a cash game.
Speaker 1: I had a very big cash game line up. Did
Speaker 1: not use an the tournament. Good job, Frank, I guess
Speaker 1: I had Christian McCaffrey. So that helps, certainly helps. Let's
Speaker 1: get to a spurg who upset yesterday by Denver. Juju
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster had a ninety seven yard touchdown, which was awesome. Uh,
Speaker 1: Judy was very excited, very very excited. Ju Ju. D
Speaker 1: you did you? Did you? S Cooker? I didn't. That's
Speaker 1: a teen name. Yeah, I don't think you revealed that
Speaker 1: until right now. Cool. Yeah, she's got she's got Juju
Speaker 1: and and she's Judy. You can't write this stuff, Greg,
Speaker 1: he really can't. You really can. She draft Juju Smith
Speaker 1: Schuster for that the only reason I obviously came up
Speaker 1: with the team name afterwards. Oh but she didn't just
Speaker 1: draft Jus like I'm jud You know I didn't mean
Speaker 1: like that. You know what you know she holds over
Speaker 1: my head is that I told her not the draft Juju,
Speaker 1: because she drafted in the fresh She draft the first
Speaker 1: first round Antonio Brown and the second round draft the
Speaker 1: Davante Adams is a ten It's ten tvbr and in
Speaker 1: round three she's just like, got I'm gonna draft Juju.
Speaker 1: And I was like, well, yourd of Antonio Brown? What
Speaker 1: are you doing? And she's like, I think he's the
Speaker 1: best player on the board. All right, all right, then
Speaker 1: are let me? Let me host the show with Judy
Speaker 1: next year throughout the draft Season's me, what did I do?
Speaker 1: Did I tell her to start the wrong person? He did?
Speaker 1: Oh no, she's mad at her start with Marlon Mack
Speaker 1: over Aaron Jones. Oh and she says she's not gonna
Speaker 1: do that anymore. Yeah, I stand by my decision. Sorry, Judy,
Speaker 1: Hey would have done it myself. There you go. So anyway,
Speaker 1: with Pittsburgh, m Antonio Brown had a good game, as
Speaker 1: did Juice miss Schuster. Antonio browns having like Tonio Brown year.
Speaker 1: But I was looking at it like it's it's kind
Speaker 1: of like a weird Antonio Brown years that like he's
Speaker 1: not he's not getting as many yards for getting like
Speaker 1: his eighty yards per game is like the lowest since
Speaker 1: he's been like a superstar player like in the past
Speaker 1: like seven years, Like it's his lowest mark ever, but
Speaker 1: he's just scoring more touchdowns. Yeah, Like it's kind of
Speaker 1: like one trade off or the other. It's kind of
Speaker 1: similar to like Larry Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald normally the guy who
Speaker 1: scores a ton of receptions and PPR points. Now all
Speaker 1: he's doing is catching touchdowns. I just I found it weird.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously, you look, you don't have to spend
Speaker 1: a lot of time talking about Antonio Brown. It's still
Speaker 1: a thirteen targets yesterday, but kind of like not your
Speaker 1: typical Antonio Brown year. I can't really been through that
Speaker 1: interception with the goal, and that was like the worst
Speaker 1: throw of all time, Like how do you not see
Speaker 1: a guy that big and even if even if that ball,
Speaker 1: even if that ball goes through the defender was like
Speaker 1: the receiver anyway. So I'm saying, I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know, and Big Ben, maybe he just plays
Speaker 1: bad on the road because he's just like all I
Speaker 1: just want to get out of here and get back home,
Speaker 1: Like that's what it seemed like. I don't want to
Speaker 1: go I don't want to go to overtime. Let me
Speaker 1: just all right, whatever, flick it. It was bad defensive lineman,
Speaker 1: like whatever, you can have listen, it was bad for Denver.
Speaker 1: On the other side, Courtland Sutton man disaster, a disaster,
Speaker 1: not not been great. I think that's understanding. And one
Speaker 1: catch yesterday no no, but I mean overall since the
Speaker 1: since the Damarius Thomas trade, and I tweeted this out yesterday,
Speaker 1: drink uh, he's averaging five targets per games, two point
Speaker 1: three receptions, and just forty nine points seven yards per games.
Speaker 1: Has zero touchdown since the Damarius Thomas It's actually been
Speaker 1: better than Damarius Thomas in Houston, but still has not
Speaker 1: been what we were expecting. I think, honestly, the looking
Speaker 1: at it, you could have expected to let the corners
Speaker 1: on the outside for the tals. I've played well. Yes,
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders in the slot, had a big game. Philip Lindsay, Man,
Speaker 1: you know we spoke about like, where's he gonna go
Speaker 1: next year? It continues to get it done, dude. We'll
Speaker 1: continue to talk about this game and so much more. Actually,
Speaker 1: the BFFs Daily Rhodo dot Com learned from the game's
Speaker 1: best DFS players, We don't just give you premier advice.
Speaker 1: We play every day, all major sports, all year round.
Speaker 1: We never stopped industry leading DFS tools and custom projections,
Speaker 1: and now the Daily rodo dot com optimized in minutes,
Speaker 1: building optimized line up for cash games and turnings learned
Speaker 1: from the game's best DFS players joined Daily roado dot com.
Speaker 1: I'm actually excited to talk about the Ammie Dolphins thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm excited too. I got the season under let's keep losing, baby,
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that, uh he's Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen
Speaker 1: get the job done, and it's Miami's the other thing.
Speaker 1: Keep them under that six and a half. Actual want
Speaker 1: to with the Broncos. Are gonna move on because like
Speaker 1: anything else about the Broncos now, but you're on Sanders
Speaker 1: Like so anyway, um I had a few stay he said,
Speaker 1: all right, So do your think Greg, you want me
Speaker 1: to leave? You think the Greg Greg Monologue show. If
Speaker 1: you want you talking about Pat Sherman, how much you
Speaker 1: love him? Your Sherman? Baby, I love you, Yeah, the same,
Speaker 1: Pat Sherman. I didn't you seak one Barkley in the
Speaker 1: second half yesterday let's with the Gies and Eagles. Fine,
Speaker 1: So Pat Sherman didn't get take what we're talking about
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. We're going to very a track now. So
Speaker 1: Pat Shermer. I like Pat Shermer. I think he knows
Speaker 1: what he's doing. I think that he doesn't necessary the
Speaker 1: quarterback to make it happen. Um yesterday, there is he
Speaker 1: explained about the Barkley thing. He explained it in that Yes,
Speaker 1: he has to do a better job, obviously, but the
Speaker 1: team did not put themselves into situation to get skew
Speaker 1: market the ball. There are several first down penalties that
Speaker 1: made it first to fifteen quickly. There are a couple
Speaker 1: of thirty eight teens. They only ran twenty plays the
Speaker 1: entire second half. Everyone's gonna kill Sherman for the drive
Speaker 1: that they gave se Kwan off. But you want to
Speaker 1: keep him fresh for for the game. I get man
Speaker 1: keeping fresh for the playoffs. You can't playing two percent
Speaker 1: of the snaps. I mean, I'm not killing him. There
Speaker 1: is man. Christian McCaffrey plays a hundred percent of the snaps. Greig,
Speaker 1: He's gonna he plays every snap. Christ McAffrey plays every
Speaker 1: single snap for the Carolina Panthers and just had a
Speaker 1: hundred yards rushing in a hundred yards receiving. Barkley is
Speaker 1: a rookie running back rush for a hundred yards on
Speaker 1: thirteen carries this today, there's no excuse for him not
Speaker 1: to get the ball in the second half. And also,
Speaker 1: this is the same New York Giants team that you
Speaker 1: were killing crushing earlier on in the season that was
Speaker 1: throw owing, you know, eight yard passes behind the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage to uh to say kwon Barkley and trying
Speaker 1: to let him figure out what to do on offense.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I don't know. You're doing a
Speaker 1: complete one eighty here because because the Giants have string
Speaker 1: together a few wins against the Tampa Box in the
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty niners, and you like what Pat Chremmer's doing.
Speaker 1: Come on, Greg, let's look at the big picture here.
Speaker 1: What has he done all season long? Not just what
Speaker 1: have you done for me lately? Early on in the
Speaker 1: season was an absolute disaster. I know the offensive line
Speaker 1: was terrible, but yeah it's still terrible. But they've they've
Speaker 1: done better. So what was the excuse earlier on? Why
Speaker 1: couldn't they be doing what they're doing now earlier on
Speaker 1: in the season. I mean, get the ball in Odell
Speaker 1: Beckham's hands more, and you know something that they should
Speaker 1: actually be doing more than what they're doing right now.
Speaker 1: I know we had nine targets, but Odell Beckham should
Speaker 1: be like one of these like twelve fourteen target per
Speaker 1: game kind of guys like monsters. Of course, of course,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It seems like you're prematurely kind of
Speaker 1: flipping the script here for for Pat Schirmer, I think
Speaker 1: you're being a little bit too optimistic. I like the
Speaker 1: Greg who was like very critical and like mad at
Speaker 1: the Giants. That's a great susman. I like, because I
Speaker 1: want you to. I want you to be miserable like
Speaker 1: I am as a football fan. I mean, I didn't
Speaker 1: even watch the Jet game yesterday. I'm done. I'm done
Speaker 1: with that team for this year. See what they do
Speaker 1: in the off seats. Let's sign liv On Bella. I mean,
Speaker 1: let's already get to that point. I can't watch the
Speaker 1: Jets anymore. Disaster Sam Donald gazzy foot injury. The guy
Speaker 1: isn't playing two games in Arown now, probably not gonna
Speaker 1: play next week either. Why isn't he playing, Greg, I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know. So you mentioned the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills a moment ago, who defeated Jacksonville. Uh, maybe the
Speaker 1: Bills have a better record than Jacksonville. Also amazing, by
Speaker 1: the way, these two teams playing in the playoffs last year,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. Um. So you talk about like declarations
Speaker 1: and proclamations that I'm making. I think that I think
Speaker 1: joe Yellen is good. I said this to you guys
Speaker 1: yesterday in our chat. I don't think he's bad. I
Speaker 1: like him like he's got a little moxie, which I
Speaker 1: think he's got a monster along as we know about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the accuracy is very often, that's been and that's been
Speaker 1: something that we've looking at eight for nineteen in this game. Greg. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean he actually maybe more than a little bit off,
Speaker 1: But I think he's got something. I think he's talented.
Speaker 1: I think he goes you give a full year. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't think he's bad. I really don't. I mean
Speaker 1: he's not bad for fantasy purposes either, because he's been
Speaker 1: a top five quarterback not twice this year, and in
Speaker 1: both of those games they were when he had monster
Speaker 1: rushing performanceins He rus thirteen times yesterday fore yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'll go as far
Speaker 1: as to say, if you know, if you play in
Speaker 1: a super flex league or two quarterback league, if he's
Speaker 1: not owned, like you should be aggressive and get Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: I play in the super Flex League, my home league.
Speaker 1: He's not owned, so I'm gonna try. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think I have a couple of bucks left. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna put it on Josh Allen just because what
Speaker 1: he could do on the ground, rushing, rushing the football.
Speaker 1: I think what we've seen that of him right now
Speaker 1: is a very small sample size, but it's kind of
Speaker 1: like a micro cosm of like the bigger picture for
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, which I think we're gonna see moving forward
Speaker 1: for him, is that he's going to be consistently inconsistent,
Speaker 1: Which what does that mean? You know, it sounds weird,
Speaker 1: but eight for nineteen. He didn't play a great game
Speaker 1: by any means, but he made big plays when he
Speaker 1: needs right that touchdown down the field, I mean he
Speaker 1: was getting swallowed alive in the pocket on that play
Speaker 1: and just launched it down the field, and you know,
Speaker 1: a huge touchdown there against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Also had
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown again, So I think he's gonna be
Speaker 1: consistently inconsistent, Like he's gonna make some big plays. He's gonna,
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna have these big throws down the field.
Speaker 1: He's gonna wow you every now and then with these
Speaker 1: laser touchdowns that he fits into into you know, tight spaces.
Speaker 1: But he's also going to he's gonna show you the
Speaker 1: bad side to where like a guy is you know,
Speaker 1: five ten yards away and he misses him or he
Speaker 1: like tries to throw it too hard and the guy
Speaker 1: doesn't catch it because it's a laser beam. Like, I
Speaker 1: think that's the kind of quarterback that you're gonna see
Speaker 1: at a Josh Allen. He's gonna make big plays, he's
Speaker 1: also gonna frustrate you. Um, So it's gonna be interesting
Speaker 1: for for Buffalo bill fans moving forward overall. I mean
Speaker 1: there's a pretty good day yesterday for rookie quarterbacks. And
Speaker 1: that's that's why it's especially frustrating as like a Jets
Speaker 1: fan Sam Donald not playing because you know, you go
Speaker 1: around you see Josh Allen making plays Lamar Jackson has
Speaker 1: the big game against against the Oakland Raiders and then
Speaker 1: Aker Mayfield too obviously monster game too, So we'll just
Speaker 1: say to put a bow on like the Buffalo Bills,
Speaker 1: yesterday saw McCoy seventeen carries forty six yards. Was very
Speaker 1: not good. His next two matchups the Miami Dolphins, who
Speaker 1: have given up a ton of fantasy production to running backs,
Speaker 1: didn't happen yesterday from Marlin Mac, I'm sorry, Judy, but
Speaker 1: they also faced the Jets in two weeks from now
Speaker 1: and that was the shaw McCoy's best game of the
Speaker 1: season two weeks ago for the Bills. So you know,
Speaker 1: don't don't drop Lasha mcoy yet. I think he's gonna
Speaker 1: be in the flex discussion for these next two games.
Speaker 1: Jackson Bill has been a disaster um all year long.
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournett, I would be surprised if he doesn't get suspended.
Speaker 1: I mean, did you watch it? He was squared up.
Speaker 1: I thought I was watching. You know, they have these
Speaker 1: viral videos on the internet. Greg, It's like bum fights.
Speaker 1: That's what I felt like. I was watching Leonard Fournette
Speaker 1: against the against Shack Lawson for the Buffalo Bills and
Speaker 1: then they took it all the way into the tunnel.
Speaker 1: I mean it was a crazy scene yesterday. Still got
Speaker 1: it done, though for fantasy purposes, the Buffalo Bills. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've been a tough defense all year long. And I know, uh,
Speaker 1: I know, Gabe was O Leonard Fournett earlier with in
Speaker 1: terms of yards per carrying yards carry pretty good. Yesterday
Speaker 1: eighteen carries ninety five yards, five point three yards per carry,
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Leonard Fournett is their only offense outside of him. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're doing with this team, Like
Speaker 1: you're not starting any of their any of their receiving options.
Speaker 1: And O. D. Westbrook had a touchdown. But Blake Portos
Speaker 1: is just an utter disaster. It'll be interesting to see
Speaker 1: what the Jaguars do in the off season. In terms
Speaker 1: of quarterback. They just fired their O C. Nathaniel Hackett.
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's all his fault. Like Blake
Speaker 1: Bortles is not great. We know that now. I mean
Speaker 1: it's been a huge sample size. Uh he's you know,
Speaker 1: similar to what we said about Josh Allen. I mean,
Speaker 1: Blake Bortos one of these guys that can have a
Speaker 1: big game and then the next game, I mean twelve
Speaker 1: or twenty three uh five point five yards per attempt.
Speaker 1: Be interesting to see, you know, if the Jaguars are
Speaker 1: in on like Derek Carr or whoever it might be
Speaker 1: in the off season, who who teams keep referencing as
Speaker 1: the quarterback to trade four, It'll be interesting to see
Speaker 1: what the Jaguars do. But if Leonard Fournett is out,
Speaker 1: I guess we're looking at Carlos Hide uh t j
Speaker 1: Yelden time share for next week. But I think the
Speaker 1: Jaguars are kind of mailing it in at this point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I agree. It's been a it's a dumbster fire with
Speaker 1: Jackson Mill and the defense has not been as healthy
Speaker 1: or as good as it was last year. Listen, if
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournet does get suspended and maybe looking at Carlos
Speaker 1: Hide season for this protective this potential week, he's probably
Speaker 1: dropped everywhere with with four net returning in the amount
Speaker 1: of carries that Fournet guest. I assume Doug Maron's gonna
Speaker 1: take over the offensive play calling, which I don't really
Speaker 1: know what that means, to be honest with you, Um
Speaker 1: dougarin is an offensive minded coach, yes, sir, for offensive
Speaker 1: line coach with the Jaguars. Always find it interesting when
Speaker 1: an offensive minded coach doesn't call their own plays. Well, so,
Speaker 1: I know that there's a lot of responsibility that goes
Speaker 1: into being a head coach. Obviously needs to pay attention
Speaker 1: to what time management and things that are going on
Speaker 1: within the game. Like I understand, it's a lot of responsibility.
Speaker 1: But if you're an offensive background minded head coach, why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you just call your own place? Asked that a second.
Speaker 1: Do you think that the old defensive minded head coaches
Speaker 1: should call defensive place? So that should be the logic,
Speaker 1: though like Todd Bowles doesn't. So, as you had said,
Speaker 1: there's a lot that goes into it. And because of that,
Speaker 1: like I'll use Andy Reid is a good example. Right,
Speaker 1: So Andy Reid calls his own place, or it does
Speaker 1: for years and then well we obviously know that he
Speaker 1: gets lost in time management issues or time out issues,
Speaker 1: and there's a lot going on there. So we handed
Speaker 1: it off to Matt Neeggie and and that worked out.
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh is is the poster child of doing this,
Speaker 1: and other people have said, um that they're not like
Speaker 1: that Macundo, for his his wasn't taking a job if
Speaker 1: he couldn't call his own place. And there's a lot
Speaker 1: of coaches that have said I'm not taking a job
Speaker 1: unless I install my offense and not just install your offense,
Speaker 1: but be in charge me because ultimately it's your head, right.
Speaker 1: So that's one side of it. There's another side of
Speaker 1: it where you want to be the CEO. Pete Carroll
Speaker 1: is the CEO. Tom Coughlin was the CEO, and they
Speaker 1: believe when each guy kind of does their own lane,
Speaker 1: you have one guy presiding over everything you have like branches.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like government, right, Like precise guy runs
Speaker 1: the offense, this runs you just and you kind of
Speaker 1: just let people be in their own stand, their own lane,
Speaker 1: and he preside over everything, so you could watch over everything.
Speaker 1: I don't think that one way is right or one
Speaker 1: way is wrong. I think we've seen with Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: who is in multiple occasions give it away play calling
Speaker 1: and take it back the way play calling and taking
Speaker 1: it back. So there isn't a right answer that question.
Speaker 1: But I understand what you're sentiment, Like, hey, if you're
Speaker 1: hired to be an offensive genius, will be your offensive genius, right,
Speaker 1: like the Hugh Jackson right, Hugh Jackson called plays the
Speaker 1: first couple of years in Cleveland disaster equal disaster. So
Speaker 1: it's just like there isn't necessarily a right way about it,
Speaker 1: and I understand that I see both sides of the
Speaker 1: coin here. I'll just I look at it as if
Speaker 1: you're the head coach and you're an offensive minded head coach, like,
Speaker 1: why don't you take on the burden of running this
Speaker 1: team's offense, and you know, if your team sucks, like
Speaker 1: you don't have a scapegoat like the offensive coordinator be like,
Speaker 1: all right, let me just fire this guy. Like no,
Speaker 1: you should be the guy fired because this is your team,
Speaker 1: this is your offense, and you're you know, like you mentioned,
Speaker 1: you're you're installing your ideas, your your your offensive mind
Speaker 1: onto this team. So I just kind of look at
Speaker 1: it from that way, like you should be responsible for
Speaker 1: what's going on. If if you're an offensive minor head
Speaker 1: coach and you're some kind of you're supposed to be
Speaker 1: some kind of guru, prove it. See what happens, no
Speaker 1: doubt about it, no doubt about it. Um I mentioned
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, So that's another offensive Google right, Adam Gaze
Speaker 1: who is calling the plays for his Dolphins team, and
Speaker 1: it was what a day for our guy Kenyan Drake. Yeah,
Speaker 1: for our guy Kenyan Drake, who was who was starting
Speaker 1: about thirty percent of CBS sports leagues. Greg, I started yesterday,
Speaker 1: you start room. Would you like to know who? I'll
Speaker 1: give you three guests as to who I started over
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake. Begin now, Greg, I mean you're not gonna
Speaker 1: get it all the players in the world. That all
Speaker 1: the players I'll give you. What do you want to
Speaker 1: like a division or give a division that's fair? The
Speaker 1: NFC West, the NFC West, Who did you start over
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake? Have PPR in the flex? Okay, it's a
Speaker 1: flex so it couldn't be a running back or wide
Speaker 1: receiver or a tight end. Yeah, do you want to
Speaker 1: give you the position wide receiver? You start a wide receiver?
Speaker 1: In the FC West? You said yes? Did you start down?
Speaker 1: Let's see here, NFC West didn't play the Rams are out,
Speaker 1: so either the Niners. Did you start Christian Kirk over
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake? No? Okay, Uh? Did you start Marky's good
Speaker 1: Win over Kenyan Drake? Mark He's good Win didn't play yesterday,
Speaker 1: so I didn't start him. No, right, let's see here now,
Speaker 1: I looked at well, I looked to the Seahawks. Where
Speaker 1: you started Tyler Lockett. You're happy if you started David Moore,
Speaker 1: you're happy. Yeah, you started Doug Baldin, but like you
Speaker 1: would start Doug balling over Kenny Drake. So I can't
Speaker 1: get mad at yourself for that. But you aren't ad
Speaker 1: at yourself for that. I didn't start Doug Baldin, Greg,
Speaker 1: you start started Kendrick Born. I started Kendrick Born. And
Speaker 1: you know what, Greg, The logic wasn't off because Dan
Speaker 1: Pettis had a great game yesterday. Pettis had a great game.
Speaker 1: And I was staring at Bolt wide receivers before the
Speaker 1: game and I'm looking, I'm like, I pick up Kendrick Borne,
Speaker 1: or do I pick up Dante Pettis? And you know
Speaker 1: who I dropped to. Originally I had in the flex
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel, who scored a touchdown. He scored a touchdown
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. Two weeks in a row
Speaker 1: where I had a flex in that's great touchdown that
Speaker 1: week dropped them in like the final thirty minutes before
Speaker 1: game time because I had Curtis Samuel in this week,
Speaker 1: dropped him for Kendrick Borne, started that guy over Kenyan Drake.
Speaker 1: And last week I dropped Adam Humphreys for t J.
Speaker 1: Jones give me one reception for two yards, and Adam
Speaker 1: Humphrey scored a Touchdow last week scored a touchdown this
Speaker 1: week too. But yeah, I started Kendrick Born over Kendy Drake.
Speaker 1: That was very hopefully that's crazy. But look, you can
Speaker 1: knock people for benching Kenyan Drake Greg, maybe not for
Speaker 1: Kendrick Born. I mean, I can knock you Bendi great game,
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stick by not wrong. Sweet name. Kendrick
Speaker 1: Born is an awesome name. It's an awesome name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Like they should make a movie name like that should
Speaker 1: be a you should be an antagonist in a movie somewhere.
Speaker 1: Kendrick Board. We need to find Kendrick. They're really not
Speaker 1: gonna mention like the Boarding series. Yeah, I guess that's
Speaker 1: why it makes sense. I've never watched any of those
Speaker 1: movies that you're not like Matt Damon. Matt Damon not
Speaker 1: really alright, not the biggest Matt Damon guy, but Dante
Speaker 1: Pettis look four for seventy seven in the touchdown that
Speaker 1: could have been Kendrick Born, but it wasn't. Kenyan Drake, Man,
Speaker 1: Adam Gaze, Kenny, you idiot. Kennyan Drake led this team
Speaker 1: in targets and receptions yesterday. Guess how many rushing touchdowns
Speaker 1: that Dolphins have this year? Four? And Drake has all
Speaker 1: four of them, right, he has all four of them,
Speaker 1: and he's being doubled in touches every single week by
Speaker 1: Frank Gore. It carries nearly doubled fourteen for Frank Gore,
Speaker 1: eight for Kenyan Drake. You were an idiot, Adam Gates,
Speaker 1: you are an idiot. You have a young running back
Speaker 1: and Kenyan Drake always say this, use him. I know
Speaker 1: he never been a workhorse in his career. Whatever the
Speaker 1: final five games of the season last year, whatever it was,
Speaker 1: he proved that he could be a workhorse. He helped
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins. They played well during that time period
Speaker 1: last year when Kenyan Drake, I mean, they beat the
Speaker 1: they beat the Patriots on Monday Night football. Last time
Speaker 1: was there, Kenyan Drake was crushing it. Why don't you
Speaker 1: give this guy twenty five touches a game to see
Speaker 1: what he can do. I think he can handle it.
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake team interceptions and targets yesterday, just saying it's
Speaker 1: sixty four yards receiving. That's second on the team compared
Speaker 1: to Leonti Carus, who had one cash or seventy four
Speaker 1: yards for three touchdowns. Two of them were by Kenyan Drake.
Speaker 1: I'm thirteen touches and I thought Kenyan Drake also was
Speaker 1: done for the season at one point in this game.
Speaker 1: That was very scary. See he's not injury prone. He
Speaker 1: can handle it, handle anything. He was came down, he
Speaker 1: was writhing in pain, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 1: up from the ashes. Ken I don't regret drafting Kenyan Drake.
Speaker 1: One reason where I drafted him like he deserved to
Speaker 1: be drafted there. He's he's super talented. Adam Gaze is
Speaker 1: an idiot. He's an idiot. Craig. On the season, Kenyan
Speaker 1: Drake has seven hundred sixteen total yards and seven touchdowns.
Speaker 1: Not terrible on an offensively challenged team like the Dolphins
Speaker 1: are not a good offensive team. I know some of
Speaker 1: that has to do with brock Oswaller starting, but in
Speaker 1: the games where brock Oswaller starting. Why don't you just
Speaker 1: hand the ball off to Frank Gore fifteen times and
Speaker 1: hand the ball off to Kenyan Drake fifteen times and
Speaker 1: also give Kenyan Drake fifteen targets target Franco has also
Speaker 1: been effective yesterday. Yeah, but who's who's to say that
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake can do that? If you were getting the
Speaker 1: same workloom like, he's not, I understand. Over on the
Speaker 1: other side, Indianapolis, Marlon Mack was concussed yesterday. He always
Speaker 1: doing a good day at fifteen for eighty five take
Speaker 1: that duty five point seven yards for carry. He was
Speaker 1: great as he always is. But he was concussed, which
Speaker 1: we're letting that he hides the step up. He had
Speaker 1: nine carriages twenty yards. He's also invol in the passing
Speaker 1: game two twenty two, but hinds on the field. He's
Speaker 1: someone you're gonna want to start next week. Marlon Mack
Speaker 1: is an out there. I trust my ham Hines. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And the Indianapolis Colts are going up against the Jacksonville
Speaker 1: jack Wars. And you know one place where the Jaguars
Speaker 1: have actually consistently been tough has been against the run.
Speaker 1: They've been pretty good against the run all season long.
Speaker 1: They were good against U Saw McCoy yesterday as well.
Speaker 1: But the Bill's offensive line is not great. Uh, the
Speaker 1: Colt offensive line a little bit better. We finally got
Speaker 1: the streak snapped where Andrew Luck was not sacked in
Speaker 1: a game for what was it, six games in a row?
Speaker 1: Greg He was sacked yesterday once for which was actually
Speaker 1: ended up being a strip sack fumble. A crazy series
Speaker 1: of events study where it was like the let back
Speaker 1: to back interceptions from Andrew Luck and then between that
Speaker 1: was a fumble. Yeah, what is it that? I think
Speaker 1: it's eight straight games for Andrew Luck with three touchdowns
Speaker 1: or more three touchbow So I want to I want
Speaker 1: to talking about this game when we come back. We
Speaker 1: called Adam Gage an idiot, Frank Reigs doing some very
Speaker 1: very dangerous I'll tell you what it is when we
Speaker 1: come back. Fantasy Sports Radio Network. If you're someone that

Speaker 1: Just be there and like hang out with ye that's
Speaker 1: where I should have been there. Yeah that's true. Sorry,
Speaker 1: damn true. Anyway, gonna have the cold scam for a
Speaker 1: moment here, so as you're luck. Once you get us
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, he's thirty thirty seven three forty three yards.
Speaker 1: Who those incompletions were interceptions and a crazy back and
Speaker 1: forth um in the end of the first half. Where
Speaker 1: is and you looked through interception, next play was foambed
Speaker 1: by Miami. Next play and you looked through interception back
Speaker 1: to back to back, three consecutive turnovers. Very very exciting stuff.
Speaker 1: And I think Leonte CRUs touched on with someone in
Speaker 1: there was right right before lux interception. So that's whatever.
Speaker 1: Like it looks been amazing. You have and Andrew looked
Speaker 1: like I did, like you're feeling awesome and you started
Speaker 1: every week and he's not. I thought, right, and we
Speaker 1: kill we kill our guy Michael Flurio. But he he
Speaker 1: led the charge. He did. He had Andrew Luk as
Speaker 1: like a top five quarterback. I kind of I backed off.
Speaker 1: It was heaven had we haven't had that for sure, um,
Speaker 1: and you have to Andrew luck and he's been great.
Speaker 1: Toe Hi was great yesterday. Tant target seven five was awesome,
Speaker 1: especially at home. You love him. Eric Ebron caught two
Speaker 1: more Touchdowns' touchdown whisperer. This is what he does, all right.
Speaker 1: He had eleven touchdowns in his career Detroit Lions career,
Speaker 1: he has eleven touchdowns. To see, he's been amazing. He's
Speaker 1: been amazing. Unfortunately, you got to throw him out there
Speaker 1: and just hope the scores. That's what you're gonna have
Speaker 1: to do. The type of position. My problem with Frank
Speaker 1: Reich is he's play with fire a little bit. So
Speaker 1: last week they had. I believe it was Ebron attempted
Speaker 1: to throw a touchdown to Andrew Luck who dove in
Speaker 1: the right side of the end zone, and Iron joked
Speaker 1: about it, and we all laughed about it this week,
Speaker 1: and Ebron said, listen, he lost some speed since he
Speaker 1: was at standard. That's his fault. Fine, it's funny, we
Speaker 1: all laugh. So this week on fourth and two or
Speaker 1: fourth and one, they Jacoby Brissette coming to quarterback, so
Speaker 1: read option, read pass option with Luck out wide. So
Speaker 1: they had it as a quarterback and the safety, and
Speaker 1: they basically had the safety on the defense coming because
Speaker 1: they're not throwing a Luck I don't need to fade
Speaker 1: to Luck size. They basically had it of the manat
Speaker 1: to his safety blitz on Brissett. So one on one
Speaker 1: coverage with Andrew Luck on the left side versus the quarterback,
Speaker 1: and the quarterback is playing off of Luck. Of course,
Speaker 1: Brissett through it to Luck, who caught it for four
Speaker 1: yards and got the first down. But he got lit up,
Speaker 1: lit up right on the shoulder. It was a completely
Speaker 1: illegal hit. Andrew Luck was a wide receiver and the
Speaker 1: dude lit him out. He bounced back up, but he
Speaker 1: did a massive, massive, massive hit. It's fourth and one,
Speaker 1: fourth and two. Why are we doing this in the
Speaker 1: middle of the game with nothing really on the line.
Speaker 1: I get the playoff playoffs occations of both these teams
Speaker 1: at five and five, but there has to be better
Speaker 1: play called putting your franchise quarterback who just came off
Speaker 1: major shoulders. It's missing that's missed the last two years.
Speaker 1: Why are we doing that? It's not worth it today,
Speaker 1: It's not. It was like you're playing with fire of
Speaker 1: your results over process for this one. Greg, the results
Speaker 1: in the first down. I understand it was an awesome
Speaker 1: play call. I mean, I understand what you're saying, Frank Reig.
Speaker 1: I mean give it to He came from the Eagles
Speaker 1: last year, where you know they'd run the Philly Special
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl, and he's brought some of that
Speaker 1: creativity to the Colts. I get what you're saying. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: he's probably a thing. And look, Andrew looks not taking
Speaker 1: many hits because their offensive line is played so well.
Speaker 1: I mean, he just got sacked for the first time
Speaker 1: in this game. And however many games, six, seven games,
Speaker 1: whatever it was, he was like a he could take it.
Speaker 1: He doesn't getting hit Greg. He's good, he's fine. Come on,
Speaker 1: let's have fun. No fun for Greg. Not with are
Speaker 1: luck he's two values. Probably not, He's proven that he's
Speaker 1: two really big hit and felt right on that shoulder
Speaker 1: an unnecessary monster hit. I just really didn't like that
Speaker 1: by Frank Ranck. And he's done wonderful job this year.
Speaker 1: So I'll be you know what, I'll be interested to
Speaker 1: look into and see if people ask him questions about
Speaker 1: that after the game. I'm sure they did. I bet
Speaker 1: you he's sow the source shoulder on Wednesday limited practice shoulder.
Speaker 1: What's going on? We imaged Christopercaffrey before, who was out
Speaker 1: of this world bankers yesterday and a hundred twenty five
Speaker 1: yards in the ground to touchdown, another hundred and twelve
Speaker 1: in the air to touchdown. He was ridiculous. Eleven receptions.
Speaker 1: Carolina lost again and this one was that home. They
Speaker 1: lost thirty twenty seven as Russell Wilson passes for almost
Speaker 1: three hundred forty yards. Those are two touchdowns. He gotta
Speaker 1: got it done through the air yesterday. What do you
Speaker 1: think of this game? Frank? Yeah, I think the Panthers
Speaker 1: defenses is certainly letting them down right now. They lost
Speaker 1: at the Lions the week before. UM, in that game,
Speaker 1: it was their offense against the lines because they couldn't
Speaker 1: put up points against Detroit, and that's just, uh, that's
Speaker 1: not acceptable. But the week before they also gave up
Speaker 1: fifty points to the Pittsburgh Steelers. So they give up
Speaker 1: thirty here to Seattle, a good team. Russell Wilson obviously
Speaker 1: great quarterback, but Graham Gono misses the field goal. And
Speaker 1: you know it's not a gimme, it's not all his fault,
Speaker 1: like there are other players within the game, but that
Speaker 1: certainly did not help. So Graham Gono Mrs One. The
Speaker 1: defense kind of lets them down. Um, I think that's
Speaker 1: that's how we get to the Carolina Panthers losing three
Speaker 1: games in a row. They were six and two there
Speaker 1: now six and five, fighting for their playoff lives. But
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, I mean, from a fancy perspective, I mean,
Speaker 1: he's everything right now. He's the snaps seventeen carries yesterday,
Speaker 1: eleven targets. It's not just eleven targets, call all eleven.
Speaker 1: So that type of efficiency is just ridiculous. And what
Speaker 1: I'm hoping Greg I know Devin Fonses did not play
Speaker 1: in this game, and I said it, I said, you know, Funches,
Speaker 1: I felt like it's starting to get phased out of
Speaker 1: the offense, getting pushed out of the offense. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised if maybe we get a you more surprise
Speaker 1: and actives moving forward with with Devin Funches. But d J.
Speaker 1: Moore was phenomenal in this game. Nine targets called eight
Speaker 1: of them for ninety one yards. You know, he's he's
Speaker 1: starting to learn how to expand his route tree. We
Speaker 1: know that he's a he's a great YAK receiver. You know,
Speaker 1: they give him short passes. He can he can make plays,
Speaker 1: but he's also made some plays down the field as well.
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about d J Moore if I added him.
Speaker 1: I think he's right there in the wide Receiver three
Speaker 1: high end Wide Receiver three discussion. Um the offense is
Speaker 1: starting to get funneled through mainly Christian McCaffrey and d J. Moore,
Speaker 1: And I think that's exactly what they foresaw. Maybe not
Speaker 1: this quickly, but in year one with d J Moore
Speaker 1: being a rookie, he's he's played very well and and
Speaker 1: kind of because of that, greg Olsen, I don't know
Speaker 1: if he's like still not on or age is catching
Speaker 1: up to him, whatever it might be. But he's, uh,
Speaker 1: he's basically one of these low end tight end ones
Speaker 1: now who who is touchdown dependent because in the past
Speaker 1: two past few games, if he if he does score
Speaker 1: a touchdown, he's basically basically giving you a touchdown and
Speaker 1: nothing else. And then yesterday he gave you eleven yards
Speaker 1: and didn't score a touchdown. So we're getting to that
Speaker 1: point where Greg Olsen is is one of those touchdown
Speaker 1: dependent tight ends. Yeah. Absolutely. Now DJ Moore, as you've
Speaker 1: said multiple occasions, different functions, I believe a free agent
Speaker 1: after this year, and d J Moore is going to
Speaker 1: be one of these many toys that Christian McCaffrey and
Speaker 1: and Cam Newton have to work with in the future.
Speaker 1: And I think d J Moore to be a popular
Speaker 1: draft target next year. Baby, And he's a term he
Speaker 1: had terp indeed um. On the other side for Seattle,
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett once again gets it done. I was respect Greggy.
Speaker 1: I always say this about Tyler Lockett, no respect. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's a players more wrong about this year
Speaker 1: than Tyler Lockett, who people talked people did talk hibout
Speaker 1: in the preseason this year, and I wanted nothing to
Speaker 1: do with this guy. I was not going to be
Speaker 1: fooled again for like the third or fourth second year.
Speaker 1: And I was wrong with Tyler. Locke said a really
Speaker 1: good year other five for one or seven a touchdown yesterday,
Speaker 1: forty three receptions sixty one. Here's the big number. Eight
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the season for Tyler Lockett. And to be
Speaker 1: totally reasonable to him, Doug Walton has been healthy most
Speaker 1: of the season and healthy ish enough to play. And hey,
Speaker 1: he's been healthy enough to play. Uh Doug baldin five
Speaker 1: or thirty nine yesterday he was talking to the team
Speaker 1: high seven times, so he was involved yesterday after being
Speaker 1: questionable all week long, right up until game time. And
Speaker 1: David Moore a really nice touchdown catch on the left
Speaker 1: side of the end zone. He had four for one
Speaker 1: oh three. He's come on as well. So the three
Speaker 1: wide receivers for Seattle get it done. Chris Carson in
Speaker 1: the backfield six boy Chard Penny had four for four.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Tyler Lockett, He's staying healthy. That's
Speaker 1: obviously a huge part of his game because the past
Speaker 1: couple of years he's been banged up in and out
Speaker 1: of the lineup. And you know what, I like Tyler Lockett.
Speaker 1: Remember throughout the preseason I didn't get my hands on
Speaker 1: him in a lot of leagues. But what are he's
Speaker 1: doing right now in terms of the rate that he's
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns, in terms of his like like touchdown two
Speaker 1: reception ratio, Like he only has forty three receptions, but
Speaker 1: eight of those are touchdowns. And he's not being targeted
Speaker 1: heavily either. He's not a target monster because the Seahawks
Speaker 1: don't throw the ball that much. Their offense has just
Speaker 1: been incredibly efficient, and I think that's a good job
Speaker 1: by Brian Schottenheimer. Like, we didn't know what to expect
Speaker 1: by Schottenheimer coming into the year, and you know, we
Speaker 1: we gave Russell Wilson a lot of flak early on
Speaker 1: for al Right, well, you know he's not rushing the football.
Speaker 1: Their their offense is being kind of conservative. They're running
Speaker 1: the football a lot, but they're picking and choosing their
Speaker 1: spots and they've been incredibly efficient when they need to
Speaker 1: throw the ball. We saw that yesterday with Tyler Lockett. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the clutch touchdown from David Moore as well, and we're
Speaker 1: already starting to talk about, like, all right, well, where
Speaker 1: is this guy gonna go next year? Tyler Lockett is
Speaker 1: probably gonna a guy who's gonna go too high for
Speaker 1: me because just looking at you know, that rate that
Speaker 1: he's scoring touchdowns app but he's not a target monster
Speaker 1: and he doesn't get a ton of receptions. It just
Speaker 1: seems like he's scoring more touchdowns than he should be.
Speaker 1: So I think regression will be in store for him
Speaker 1: next year. I don't know if this offense could be
Speaker 1: as efficient, but for this year, while we're talking about
Speaker 1: this year, Tyler Lockett is absolutely a you know, top
Speaker 1: twenty five wide receiver. I mean, that's exactly what he's
Speaker 1: been all year. Uh, you know, I joke about it.
Speaker 1: I say he gets no respect, but it's true. Every
Speaker 1: single week, you know, he's ranking like a wide receiver three,
Speaker 1: but he performs better than that. So as long as
Speaker 1: this offense is clicking the way it is, Tyler Lockett
Speaker 1: is the number one wide receiver that you want to
Speaker 1: trust for fantasy purposes. In this offense, Tyler Lockett the
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver at the moment for the Seattle
Speaker 1: Sea Locks. I want to get into Sunday at football
Speaker 1: as well. Frank as a green Man package once again
Speaker 1: fall to the Viking seventeen. Michael McCarthy he go, yeah,
Speaker 1: this is the end of the road from Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 1: very very um valuable head coaching spot in Green Bay
Speaker 1: and we interesting to see who they bring in. Did
Speaker 1: you watch the game? Uh? Yeah? How many times on
Speaker 1: the broadcast did they say blessing and a curse? Because
Speaker 1: it's it felt like every time I like down, I
Speaker 1: looked back up and I was listening, I was like,
Speaker 1: blessing and a curse. Well, this is the blessing and
Speaker 1: a curse when you know, when you're Mike McCarthy and
Speaker 1: you have Aaron Rodgers as your quarterback, you're expected to win.
Speaker 1: But you know if you don't win, then it's blessing
Speaker 1: and a curse and you're gonna get fired because you're
Speaker 1: not performing up to expectations. Blah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: It seems like that's all they were talking about Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers is that he's not been himself this year either, Like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's not throwing interceptions, but a hundred and ninety eight yards.
Speaker 1: I understand that that, you know, the Vikings Viking defense
Speaker 1: is good, but you know, well where was the excuse?
Speaker 1: They just they got destroyed by the by the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. Everyone's getting destroyed by the Saints. But I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, a hundred nine yards and a touchdown from
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers that's just not gonna get it done. H Sorry, Judy,
Speaker 1: I mess you up with Aaron Aaron Joe, Let's call.
Speaker 1: But this is you know, he's absolutely like low end
Speaker 1: RB one status and smith point craig. Even against the
Speaker 1: Vikings over four yards per carry, he was a workhorse again,
Speaker 1: seventeen carries, five targets, twenty total touches in this game.
Speaker 1: Also added twenty one receiving yards. Adam Gaze, maybe you
Speaker 1: should take a look at what's happening over in Green
Speaker 1: Bay right now where you know. It took forever for
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy to figure out, oh, hey, Aaron Jones is
Speaker 1: my best you know, one of my best weapons on offense.
Speaker 1: He's the best running back on my team. It took
Speaker 1: him a little bit too long, too little, too late
Speaker 1: for Mike McCarthy to figure out that Aaron Jones and
Speaker 1: his guy. It's probably gonna cost him his job. Didn't
Speaker 1: cost you your job too, Adam Gaze, Yeah, got it? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Um it was just like I said, it would be
Speaker 1: really interesting to see who Green Babe brings into her place.
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy, Um, because is it is? This is Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers Twilight. You gotta you gotta nail this. See what
Speaker 1: they do for the package yesterday, Frank what Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: de Davante Adam scores once again in five or sixty
Speaker 1: nine a touchdown. I know it's greedy, but like I
Speaker 1: needed that second touchdown man, late in the game where
Speaker 1: Rodgers missed him. I needed that. I play in a
Speaker 1: standard league, playing the standard league where I'm up thirty,
Speaker 1: I have Corey Davis against Watson and DeAndre Hopkins. So
Speaker 1: if I get that touchdown from from yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: feel great about it. I'll admit, you know, I think
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose this one. But oh man, and and
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about. Like Aaron Rodgers hasn't been himself.
Speaker 1: He's not putting up the monster touchdown numbers. I know
Speaker 1: he only has one interception, so that's great. But like
Speaker 1: he's not taking the chances that he normally does. Like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. Like maybe Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: is like messed up on purpose, so Mike McCarthy gets fired.
Speaker 1: Think that that's my new conspiracy theory. I had the
Speaker 1: same Donald injury conspiracy theory. Aaron Rodgers is not playing
Speaker 1: his best football purposely so that Mike McCarthy gets fired. Great,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose the E Y and Flex this week.
Speaker 1: What a disaster. He's the worst team in the league.
Speaker 1: I want to lose to him. What does it say
Speaker 1: about your team? I guess lukey, although I put up
Speaker 1: one point less than you ten. Yeah, I had a
Speaker 1: had a weird, weird week this week because they drafted
Speaker 1: I went running back heavy to start that draft. Kareem Hunt,
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard, Alex Conner, Howard sucks. Collins was a healthy scratch.
Speaker 1: That touchdown the Adams would have probably won me this
Speaker 1: league too. That sucks. Come on, Aaron Rodgers, what are
Speaker 1: you doing? Davante Adams has been one of those picks
Speaker 1: that have just been perfect. People talk about a bit
Speaker 1: of a touchdown regression. Has happened. Ten touchdowns for the
Speaker 1: third consecutive season, his first thousand yards season already in
Speaker 1: the books. Uh. He has more receptions than ever before.
Speaker 1: Jrathon was wide receiver one. You got a wide receiver one.
Speaker 1: It's been awesome to watch the transformation that Davante Adams
Speaker 1: has gone through. I tweeted about this last week when
Speaker 1: he was putting up a monster game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Speaker 1: Remember Greg, when Jordy Nelson went down, everybody was third
Speaker 1: fourth round pick. They were pulling him all the way
Speaker 1: up the draft, and he let everybody down. He looked like,
Speaker 1: you look like me, like, doesn't even have a spot
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Yeah, we were like, is sky like
Speaker 1: they used the second round pick on him. Um like
Speaker 1: we were expecting him take off the year and he
Speaker 1: like we thought there was no struggling against top cornerbacks.
Speaker 1: The transformation that Davante Adams has gone through to this
Speaker 1: point where he is just completely matchup proof. It doesn't
Speaker 1: matter who he's facing, Xavier Roads opposite of him, his route,
Speaker 1: running his hands, what he can do in the red
Speaker 1: zone after the catch, when he does off the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Davante Adams is every bit the part of
Speaker 1: a wide receiver one at the NFL level. And also
Speaker 1: the most important thing is he stayed healthy this year.
Speaker 1: So good on Devontae Adams, but that was shut off.
Speaker 1: A YouTube for today to next Fantasy People Frenzy with
Speaker 1: Corey Parson, Jim Day, The Closer Chris Vner. If you're
Speaker 1: watching on the podcast or you're listening to the podcast,
Speaker 1: rather make sure you subscribe like RTUs five stars and
Speaker 1: please leave a comment. Listening on the radio, we will
Speaker 1: continue on for another three and a half minutes. On
Speaker 1: the Minnesota side of last night's game, Frank kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: showed up seemingly the first time this year. He was
Speaker 1: three forty two and three in the victory four minutes
Speaker 1: so that he was amazing. Adam Feeling and Stefon Diggs
Speaker 1: both get in the end zone, both of eight recessions.
Speaker 1: Diggs actually led this team in targets but had less
Speaker 1: yards and Feeling even Kyl Rudolph got the job they
Speaker 1: done last night seven or sixty three. With the concerning
Speaker 1: thing what I wanted to ask you about before we
Speaker 1: wrap this one up. Let Tavias Murray had one more
Speaker 1: carry on the night than Dalvin Cook. How concerns should
Speaker 1: we be. I think you you have to be somewhat concerned,
Speaker 1: definitely with Dalvin Cook because this was the game. I
Speaker 1: know he scored the touchdown. He was used in the
Speaker 1: past game only ten carries for twenty nine yards in
Speaker 1: a good game flow matchup where you know it was
Speaker 1: a competitive game, but they were playing with the lead
Speaker 1: at point throughout this game as well, so it seemed
Speaker 1: like a good game flow. It's set up well for
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, but Otavius Murray saw more carries. The offensive line,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, still not great for the Vikings, and
Speaker 1: we've seen it here again. Um, he has not run
Speaker 1: efficiently this year. I know he had that long seventy
Speaker 1: five yard or on a couple of weeks ago against
Speaker 1: the Destroit Lions, but overall their offensive line has been brutal.
Speaker 1: It's in terms of run blocking. Um, he's not. He's
Speaker 1: not the top twelve running backs certainly that we thought
Speaker 1: even when he's healthy here because le Savious Murray's getting
Speaker 1: getting getting carries. I think he's more of mid range
Speaker 1: RB two. I think that's kind of where Dalvin Cookies
Speaker 1: maybe like just barely inside the top twenty running back.
Speaker 1: I think that's where we're at with Dalvin Cook for
Speaker 1: this year. Be interesting to see what they could do
Speaker 1: in the off off season, whether they can improve that
Speaker 1: offensive line, because if they do, I think we could
Speaker 1: create that that would create a buying opportunity for Dalvin
Speaker 1: Cook next year. Greg Or maybe he slips a little bit,
Speaker 1: Maybe he's more of a you know, late second, early
Speaker 1: third round pick next year for fantasy purposes, and if
Speaker 1: they improve the offensive line, that will create a buying
Speaker 1: opportunity for Dalvin Cook. But for this year, I would
Speaker 1: say he's more of a mid range r B two.
Speaker 1: All right, So I agree with the Devin Cook right now,
Speaker 1: a mid range RB two for the Minnesota Vikings. Um,
Speaker 1: we do have time for other game, Frank, and to
Speaker 1: be the last game we talk about today. That's Cincinnati
Speaker 1: Bengals and the Cleveland Browns where Hugh Jackson's like Baker
Speaker 1: Baker Yo Hu Bowl, h boll Hugh Jackson Bowl and
Speaker 1: huge Jackson's team once again didn't just go down. They wouldn't.
Speaker 1: They got stomped out in this game. Baker throws for
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. You know how badly you wanted to destroy
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson's team um, David David Joki, that was an
Speaker 1: awesome touch. That was awesome. Yeah, I still don't know
Speaker 1: how he got it. That was awesome. My brother who
Speaker 1: doesn't even watch football, saw that place somehow yesterday on
Speaker 1: like social Media's like, do you see the guy who
Speaker 1: like almost got body slam but then they like they
Speaker 1: pushed him into the end zone. That was awesome. So yeah,
Speaker 1: David and Joku shows up. You know we didn't show up.
Speaker 1: Greg Darts Landry Darvis Landry is out in this offense
Speaker 1: three since since Freddy Kitchens has taken over. This team
Speaker 1: is ground ground great Chub Nick Chubb, Nick Chubb Chub.
Speaker 1: I've told you last week. I'll say it again. It
Speaker 1: Shub's that guy. It's gonna go I said a two
Speaker 1: three turn. It might go higher this year. People were
Speaker 1: going to think. People are going to believe that he
Speaker 1: has the ability to be that top five running back
Speaker 1: two years from one touches. He hasn't had less than
Speaker 1: nineteen touches in any game since Carlos Hyde has been traded.
Speaker 1: Touches looks phenomenal. Phenomenal here using him in the past
Speaker 1: game as well. It's coming at the expense of jervis
Speaker 1: Land Hyler Boyd owners, be a little bit nervous. Andy
Speaker 1: Dalton has that thumb injury. Now, I always screw a
Speaker 1: touchdown yesterday with Jeff Jeff just gold be a little
Speaker 1: bit nervous. Fantasy friends. He's up next for Franks Stample.
Speaker 1: My name is Greg Sells. Thank you so much for
Speaker 1: watching the BFFs. And you're all gonnamorrow. We a
