1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome

3
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: back to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson.

4
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: It is Tuesday and it's time for the Fantasy Football Focus.

5
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: So I thought we'd take a look at first at

6
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,879
Speaker 1: the most added and dropped players of the week. A

7
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 1: lot of guys to discuss. Yeah, uh, Tyson Williams was

8
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: the first, was the most added player at ad rate.

9
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: If you were a William's owner last night, were you

10
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: disappointed because he flashed and then and they didn't use

11
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: him in like as much in the second half. I

12
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: don't know if you know. He got I think nine

13
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: carries for sixty four yards and then all of a

14
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: sudden they started giving the ball of Tavius Murray. Yeah,

15
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: you and I were talking off the air, like did

16
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: he miss a blitz that we've missed or did they

17
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: just not know if he's ready for the whole workload?

18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: Were they worried about him fumbling? I don't know. He

19
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: doesn't have an extensive college history that he was by

20
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: far the the bet the more effective runner. I think

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: he still is. I mean can'll be shocked a Bell

22
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: or Freeman or Murray you go past him. But something's

23
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: going on there. Interesting that you mentioned those two guys

24
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: because Levi on Bell is the second most picked up

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: player and he's still on the practice squad forty six

26
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: pick up rate. Murray was third at thirty one point four.

27
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: Their top three backs are all the top three here.

28
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah wow, okay, I mean, I guess you want to

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 1: piece of that backfield and running game anyway you can,

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: and you hope you got the right one. Yeah, um, Tony,

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: I don't love that game or roulette though, No, that's tough.

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: That's like picking up a Patriots running back or one

33
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: of the Tampa Bay running backs, or it's not Tampa

34
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Bay running backs, maybe more comparable. We'll be picking up

35
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: a San Francisco running back and here the fourth most

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: picked up guy in week one, Tony Jones Jr. Sixteen

37
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: plus sixteen because Murray, because Murray was cut. And it's

38
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: interesting though that Murray gets cut and he's getting picked

39
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: up twice as much as is the guy who actually

40
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: stayed on the roster instead of him. It's like Jones better,

41
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: but that was picking up Murray. What's wrong with this picture. Yeah,

42
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm not super in the Jones, I mean, but the

43
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: thing is with Kamara. You know, Kamara is not a

44
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: twenty carry again. Guy Jones is gonna get carried. They

45
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: like him, and he's going to get carried. He's like

46
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be a high priority. The fifth most picked

47
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 1: up guy Tevin Coleman. He's the Jets starter. I think

48
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: he averaged like two point seven yards and he's the

49
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: Jet starter. From now. They don't have anybody else, anybody else.

50
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna be waiting to see which one of these

51
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: old running backs at the Ravens cut so they can

52
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: pick that guy up instead. Yeah, and they just don't

53
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: care right now. They'll drafting back this offseason or something,

54
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: and maybe Michael Carter takes it over at some point,

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: but I do want to do that. And then now

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: Beckton's out. Number six most picked up guy was Jacoby Myers.

57
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: M he's good. Yeah. I think he's a little bit

58
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: of a Bilow right now. He was there, Uh receiver,

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: got the most snaps. I think he's their number one. Yeah,

60
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: I think so too. Uh. Number seven was the Vikings

61
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: defense that didn't work out for you. Eight was Ryan

62
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: suck Up. Everybody was picking up Ryan suck Up. I

63
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: guess did he win that job late? I guess. I'm

64
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: sure what team he's on, Tampa Bay. Okay, yeah, fair enough. Uh.

65
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: Nine was Sterling Shepherd. He's tribute in every league. Yeah,

66
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: he went up. He was drafted in the twenty percent

67
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: of leagues. He's now in thirty percent of leagues. The

68
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: next couple of days, and number ten was Tyrrell Williams

69
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: real quickly night. Thing about shepherd situation is he was

70
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: He's good outside, but he's really a slot and gold

71
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: Tate was in his way because he can only be

72
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: a slot right now, Shepard can be he can do both. Yeah,

73
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: he's gonna be useful. Yeah. Tyrrelle Williams was the tenth

74
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: most picked up player. Okay, but I mean, like those

75
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: guys are fine. I mean like Williams is fine. But

76
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: I have a hard time creating a path that I

77
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: would ever click the box to start him. You know

78
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: what I mean? Is he ever gonna get ten targets

79
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: week after week? Remember this is Tuesday, so we haven't

80
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: gotten into this week's waiver pickups yet. So the most

81
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: cut players and a lot of these guys are on

82
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: I R. Dus Edwards gone, J K. Dobbins. So these

83
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: were all before week one. Yeah, and that makes more

84
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: sounds like Mike's defense Smith t Y Hilton Evan Ingram

85
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: getting cut a lot. I would consider picking him back

86
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: up if you know he went from a forty eight

87
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: percent ownership to thirty five percent. Okay, I don't want

88
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: a lot to do with those giants, and because I

89
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: think the offense is bad and there's a lot of

90
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: mouse to feed. But Ingram's good. He could get traded

91
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: at the trade deadline or something that they can try

92
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: to get something out of him. Travis A. T N.

93
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: People finally giving up on DeShawn Watson. He went from

94
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: seven percent ownership to eleven percent ownership. If you're one

95
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: of those people in the eleven percent, get rid of him.

96
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: He's just he's just holding a spot on your roster.

97
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: Unless you're in a Dynasty League, of course, it's a

98
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: different world, and he's very valuable there, or even a

99
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: super flex, he's valuable. I don't think he plays this year.

100
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you were Washington, consider it. I mean

101
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: it's always it's always the same problem. I have the

102
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: same conversation. Again, Washington can't based on everything that happened

103
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: to them in the off season. It wouldn't be very good,

104
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't be a prudent move. No, good point. I don't

105
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: think he can be a football teamer. No, No, I

106
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: mean unless he gets cleared, it would be a super bad. Look. Yeah,

107
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: he needs to get cleared before the trade deadline, but

108
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: who's gonna have the cap space? And I don't think

109
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna get cleared. Yeah. Number eight was Curtis Samuel.

110
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: He's on i R. Yeah, he's still owned. His ownership

111
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: dropped from sevent to seventy two point seven, So on

112
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: situations to help him either, No, that doesn't help at all.

113
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: The number nine most dropped player slash position was the

114
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Browns defense. Like, you drafted the Browns defense. Did it

115
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: take you by surprise? You didn't know they were playing

116
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 1: the Chiefs in Week one? That's kind of funny that

117
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: you dropped somebody before the season that you just drafted

118
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: and it's a defense. It's a defense, right, you knew

119
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: what you're getting. Not so smart, which leads me to

120
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: which leads me to the tenth most drop player was

121
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense. Okay. I mean, I wouldn't think Miami

122
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: scares you that much. They're still owned in seventy points.

123
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: I think I get maybe the step On Gilmore situation.

124
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: I guess I understand that one. But they'll be fantasy relevant, yeah, absolutely.

125
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: Moving on to some news and notes from around the

126
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: league here, as we mentioned raheem Mo Stirt gonna undergo

127
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: season ending surgery on his knee out Tray Sermon didn't

128
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: dress in Week one, strange situation. And Shanahan's always handled

129
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: their backs strangely, and they have a committee and they

130
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: like caught hands and Mitchell did really well and kind

131
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: of like Elijah Mitchell in the draft. Yeah, I like

132
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: the player. Yeah. Um, he's a lot like moster. Yeah,

133
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: four or four flat guy that gets a crease and

134
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: he's not super big though not super big, runs hard. Um,

135
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: he contributes on special teams. I don't know. I would

136
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 1: be banging the Sermon owner to try to get him

137
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: now next year and next week might be too late

138
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: and we'll be like, oh, yeah, you get him. Come

139
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: you get the sermon owner coming off a loss where

140
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: he was just inactive healthy scratch. Yeah right, yeah, I'll

141
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: give you something for him. Yea, you know, I'll give

142
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: you whoever. Yeah, I mean something similar to what the

143
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: guy paid. He's the Sermon's worth more now than he

144
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: was when he drafted him, even though you think somebody

145
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 1: think he's worth less. There's a clear path now for

146
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: him to get playing time and a lot of it. Yeah,

147
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: and with all respect to Mitchell too, Like he maybe

148
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: this year's James Robinson type. Maybe I don't know, he

149
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: holds up that long, you know, like he might not

150
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: belong to this world either. Yeah. And the only other

151
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: back on the on the rosters Jamachael Hasty. Yeah, and

152
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: he played a little this past and he's a he's

153
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: kind of a scatback. He's just a dude. Yeah. We

154
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: mentioned that Denzel Good was injured in that Raiders game. Uh,

155
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: he is out for the season with the torn a

156
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: c L. I didn't realize that they're they're all lines

157
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: not very deep. He was the he was the returning starter. Yeah,

158
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: and Includido was out. Just thinking about Interior. I don't

159
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: know if he's playing or not this I don't know

160
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: what exactly his situation is, but short week probably not,

161
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, um, Eric b Enemy this is I

162
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: know there's a fantasy segment, but this is relevant since

163
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: he has to play. He's not to play call everys

164
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator in Kansas City Adam Schefter reporting that

165
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: Eric b. Enemy is a head coaching candidate for USC

166
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: as apparently as everybody else in the country usually don't

167
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: talk about head coaching changes in the middle of September.

168
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: Did the usc coach or something or get in trouble

169
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: or something he left? Yeah, okay, so they're a vacancy

170
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: at the there's a current vacancy. Es. Wow, someone's gonna

171
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: be unhappy when they're the enemy or whomever gets pillaged,

172
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: because that's a great job. It's gonna pay well and

173
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: recruit and you know history, that was a firing by

174
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: of Clay Hilton. Uh, they need a change in leadership.

175
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: After forty eight hours after the Trojans were embarrassed at

176
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: home to at Stanford, UM Dante Williams is currently serving

177
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: as the interim head coach. Um. Wow, they're probably losing

178
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: recruits left and right. And yeah, that's a big situation

179
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: at a massive college. I'd love to see boy get

180
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: that though. I mean, I think he's been bypassed more

181
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: than he probably deserves. Yeah, I I you know, a

182
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: lot of people pound the table on that, and I

183
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: get you know, you minority hiring does need to be

184
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: better in the end, that wasn't even going that angles.

185
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: But I don't know that he's a good coach. I

186
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: don't know, We don't know. He doesn't call. That's the

187
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: thing I can't get past. He doesn't call the place

188
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: for Kansas City. He has two things going against him

189
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: to employ him, to make him your guy is he's

190
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: not in charge of the offense, and he's an offensive dude.

191
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: And they always play so late into the season. It

192
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: makes it different when you gotta wait and then you

193
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: don't get a good staff and you know all the

194
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: good old line coaches are picked through, so that's hard. Yeah,

195
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: I get it. There. You know, there have been some

196
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: other uh Andy Reid disciples who have been in a

197
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: similar situation that that have gotten hired. Um, And you

198
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: would think that, let's be frank, they haven't all worked out. No, No,

199
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 1: they haven't. Kind of like the Belichick quote unquote coaching

200
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: treat um. You know, just because you watched the cook

201
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: make a great meal, No, it doesn't mean I could

202
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: whip up doesn't mean you can then do it to

203
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: eat What I mean if I watched an expert Jeff

204
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: here for three days that we should eat whatever and

205
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: my creator right, Um, Michael Thomas, there some news about him. Yeah,

206
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: I saw this. He was placed on the reserve COVID list.

207
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: Um apparently tested positive. Uh, he's probably not going. He's

208
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: not eligible to come back until week eight, So this

209
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: isn't a big set. I'm sure he was in the

210
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: facility getting treatment and things of that nature, and he

211
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: has to get tested to do that, so he's out

212
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,439
Speaker 1: of he can't get treatment for a few days. I

213
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: didn't know what to make of that. Is it just

214
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: a formality. That's a formality, but they don't they don't

215
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: say whether it's a They had a bunch of guys

216
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: test positive this week, so he probably had a close

217
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: contact with one of those people. You know, if you're vaccinated,

218
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: you just have to test negative the next day. Yeah,

219
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: I guess there's just rules in place if you're around it,

220
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: if you're if you're not vaccinated, then then you are

221
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: at least five days you have to test negative each

222
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: one of those days. So when I read the headline,

223
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: I kind of the tinfoil hat on going. They just

224
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: want him not in the facilities. They can trade him

225
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: in the next coming days or something, you know, like

226
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: they know they just want Big Without him, they don't

227
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: even get along. They had like I think five assistant

228
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: coaches test positive this week. I mean, that's a that's

229
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: a problem. I think one player too. I don't know

230
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: if that he was the player, if there was another

231
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: player who's on the fifty three man rouses. This stuff's

232
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: not going away. Cod The rules are a little different though.

233
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: The Ravens placed guard Tyree Phillips on injured reserve with

234
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: a knee injury starter. Yeah, yeah, young starter that they

235
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: kind of like Big Masher. We already talked about building

236
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: a way about other segments. You know. That's that air

237
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: lines far from perfect. H Jerry Judy was placed on

238
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: injured reserve. That's probably short term. He's got the high

239
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: ankle sprain though, and those can be was going the

240
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: wrong way, the wrong way, yeah, I mean they were

241
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: that probably my I would not have a high ankle sprain.

242
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: If my foot did that, I would have a They'd

243
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: be like taking me out back to shoot me. Yeah,

244
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: make loue out of us. You know, right, the thing

245
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: like Judy, I really like the player target him in

246
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: fantasy like crazy. He didn't end up with him because

247
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: apparently a lot of people did, so I kind of

248
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: broke my heart. Like I'm rooting for him, But even

249
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 1: when he comes back, I'm gonna have a hard time saying, Oh,

250
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the same. It's a high ankle sprain.

251
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: He's a young player. He's gonna be out for an

252
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: extended period of time. Other guys are gonna step into

253
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: more prominent roles. Patrick and some of those other dudes,

254
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna play in the tight ends. And I don't know.

255
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: I just wouldn't look at it like, man, I'll just

256
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: wait it out and Judy will be my starting right

257
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: maybe ten teamers? Yeah yeah, I mean he's a roster clogger. Yeah,

258
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: if you've an IR spot, great, But if you only

259
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: have one and they're starting, you got like four bench

260
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: spots or five or six bench but even six bench spots,

261
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: that's you're you're holding up a spot for a guy

262
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: who's gonna miss because I gotta see two or three

263
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: weeks half of your season before I can start again.

264
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: Same with Michael Thomas in a way, I'm carrying Michael

265
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,160
Speaker 1: Thomas and on a bench with it. It's a short bench,

266
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: but I trust myself to be able to maneuver around

267
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: that a little bit. It's not for everybody, though. You

268
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: can't have two of those guys, like if I gets

269
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: if somebody else gets injured, then I gotta then I gotta.

270
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: You know, look at either cutting that guy or the

271
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: problem with drafting some of those like Thomas is and

272
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: it's not necessarily bad move. It could pay off huge

273
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: for you. But once you've got like three weeks invested

274
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: of holding him and it's really time to cut him

275
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: because you don't have any space for him. Yeah, no

276
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: one ever does it. It's like I've waited three weeks. Yeah,

277
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,839
Speaker 1: I had trying to remember somebody carried I can't think

278
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: of the player now they carried um carried him for

279
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: most of the year. Might have been Thomas last year,

280
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: and you know, I kept making offers to the Thomas

281
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: owner and he wouldn't wouldn't trade him. And I've carried

282
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: him this long. I'm gonna keep a hold of him.

283
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: If somebody like in the league that I'm carrying Michael Thomason,

284
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: if somebody makes me an offer right before, and it's

285
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: a legitimate offer, all right, Right, he's a he's a

286
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: he's at least a bargaining chip that I can Its

287
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: value only goes up every week. Say he's closer to

288
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: coming back, but that doesn't mean that because I've held

289
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: him forever, I can't trade him. No, I'll use him.

290
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: I'll throw him into a trade in a heartbeat, and

291
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: might be enough to lure somebody, especially if I'm winning

292
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: without him, like right, right, right, and you've adapted anyway,

293
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: that makes sense? Uh? The Denver Broncos placed cornerback Ronald

294
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: Darby with a hamstring on injured reserve. That good thing

295
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: they didn't trade one of those cornerbacks. Some of that

296
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: cornerback depth that they had, they should still be Okay, Yeah,

297
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: they're they're loaded a corner but he's a good player.

298
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean, starting corner in the league's a big deal.

299
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: How about this? The NFL p A recommended Josh Gordon

300
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: be reinstated after successfully completing his NFL monitor treatment program.

301
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: He's like thirty four years old and he's gotten up

302
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: at age two, I mean, and the last couple of

303
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: times we've seen him on the field. It's not been great.

304
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: It's not been the same guy. I mean, he was

305
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: a phenom for a couple of years, but still, I mean, yeah,

306
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: he hasn't played how many how many games they played

307
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: in the last five years? Not many and none who

308
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: were Fantasy relevant. Yeah, I know. Is Mark Tavis in

309
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: the same situation. Is even trying to get back? I

310
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think he's applied for reinstatement. Yeah,

311
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: I mean, is that ship sailed gone once he left

312
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers. He was on my pay no mind list,

313
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I'm not worried about it. You're not.

314
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: He's not coming back here, No, boy, those two were

315
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: really really talented players. How about this, The the Ravens

316
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: released Trent and Cannon today after he saw he got

317
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: snaps last night getting carries in that game, and then

318
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: they cut him. I guess that means Freeman or Bell

319
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: or something one of the two. Yeah, coming up and

320
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: maybe they'll you know, clear waivers and camera going the

321
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: on the practice squad or something. Which one of those two.

322
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: To me, I think Freeman fits their offense a little

323
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: bit better. I didn't like how he looked last year. Yeah,

324
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: but he's a straight ahead. I'm gonna get the ball

325
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: and go guy. Yeah yeah, yeah, whereas Bell that that

326
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: patients won't work behind that in that in that scheme.

327
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: I think Bell is probably the better player in a vacuum,

328
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: but you gotta do things to make him effective, and

329
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: that patience and the way he plays is not how

330
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: they wanted the running back position. Yeah. I agree. And

331
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to play special teams for you know,

332
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: or Will Murray. I mean, maybe that's why they kind

333
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: of backed off on Tyson Williams a little bit. He's

334
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: probably playing special teams for him too. It probably was

335
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: acour special team, you know, before all the injuries. I mean,

336
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: it's probably aren't many people in these shoes. But if

337
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: I had left Bell on my roster right now, I'd

338
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: move him for something for basically an everybody was picking

339
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: him up. Yeah, okay, I'll trade him to you. Yeah.

340
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: I was one of the people that were a little

341
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: ahead of the curve and happened to have him or

342
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: in a deep league or a dynasty league, and you

343
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: still have them with these huge rosters. Yeah, find somebody

344
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: that will want him, Yeah, somebody who want him. Speaking

345
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: of which, the forty nine signed Carrie on Johnson to

346
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,360
Speaker 1: their practice squad. Do you have an interest in Carrie

347
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: on Johnson. I've always liked the player, but I think

348
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: team doctors don't like him at all. Yeah, it seems

349
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: that way does UM. But with the mostern injury and

350
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: that San Francisco back, but you just never know from

351
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: it's true. I'm excited about Sermon and I would like

352
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: the Panthers cut their kicker and signed Zane Gonzalez. There

353
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: in that kicker carousel. Yeah, it's not a good place

354
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: to be, No, but just pay attention for your fantasy team.

355
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: Make sure you're not if you have Ryan Santos. So

356
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: that was the guy that they kept him after they

357
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: played the Steelers because he made his He made his

358
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: kicks in that game. Signed a couple of days before

359
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: that went out and made it Um Santos he missed

360
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: two extra points in the game and they cut him.

361
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: That's a rough business to be yeah, I mean, twenty

362
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: kickers can miss two extra points and nobody bats an

363
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: eye unless they do it kind of. I mean, you know,

364
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: the Steelers sticking with Chris Boswell through that two eighteen season.

365
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: He's now fifty one of fifty four since since that

366
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: since season. Um, yeah he'll miss he'll miss an extra

367
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: point here there, but they all do. No, Justin Tucker

368
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: miss misses some of those. I mean that's a you know,

369
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: if you think, if you think about it, that they've

370
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: made that what is it a forty two yard kick?

371
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: Now for the extra point, I should know that was

372
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: on the zone from the yard Yeah, okay, so it's two.

373
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: You probably probably the percentage on those is for a

374
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 1: good kicker these days. So if you're gonna kick forty

375
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: extra points over the course of the season, chances are

376
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 1: you gonna miss a couple of Yeah right, Yeah, this

377
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: poor guy misses two in the same day, Santo, so

378
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: you're uh. Se Kwon Barkley, with the knee injury, was

379
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: a limited participant in Tuesday's practice. They play Thursday against Washington. Yeah.

380
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: I didn't see a lot of burst in power, and

381
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: I know his first game back and his line stinks.

382
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: This will be their only practice day, only practice day.

383
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: I think Washington has a really good defense. I mean,

384
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: they did all the Chargers at points. I'd be nervous

385
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 1: if I used the eighth or ninth pick in the

386
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 1: draft on Barkley right now. And he's gonna play Washington,

387
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: so alright. On the other side of that, Antonio Gibson

388
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: was a full to participant today with the shot he's yeah,

389
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: he was limited. Well, I don't think they practiced Monday,

390
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: so they said they would have listed him as limited.

391
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: It was one of those deals, so their only day

392
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 1: of practicing was today and he was back at practice

393
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: with nothing. All that made Yeah, he're going to play him.

394
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Yeah. It's a tough matchup for him though too.

395
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: Against the Giants, New York did get run on a bit.

396
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: They did, Yeah, they did. Their offense doesn't help matters,

397
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: but I don't have super high fantasy hopes for that

398
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: game anymore. I'd like to see, uh Taylor Heineken maybe

399
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: use Gibson a little bit more in a passing game.

400
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,480
Speaker 1: And McLaurin as well. He didn't have his first target

401
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: or catch for a long or first catch for a

402
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: long the third quarter or something like that. Thomas didn't

403
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: do a lot right, and we'll see. Washington's a little

404
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: suspect right now too. Uh Rashad Penny with the capful

405
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: miss week two against the Titans. He's not fantasy relevant anyways,

406
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: but I don't trust Carson to be a long time

407
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: durability guy. Yeah, he did get two carries in that

408
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: game before leaving. Yeah, so it's not like he Uh

409
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: do you know, I think DJ Dallas is the three, right?

410
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: DJ Dallas is still there. Yeah, it doesn't move the

411
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: needle a lot, but it's noteworthy. Bruce Arians said that

412
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones will start this week against the Falcons. Good

413
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: luck with that. Yeah, I heard that too. Watching that game.

414
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: It sure seems like four nets our favorite and they

415
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: the one they trust the most when it matters most.

416
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: And at least he can catch the football a little.

417
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: Jones is, you know, frying pans for hands. Vic Fangio

418
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 1: saying today that kJ Hamdler, Tim Patrick, and Courtland Sutton

419
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: will be the team's starting wide receivers with Jerry Judy

420
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 1: a handler played obviously he's a slot guy. Is Patrick

421
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: fantasy relevant for you because he actually played? He played

422
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: okay down last year down the stretch. The thing I

423
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: was reading today, just looking at snap counts and things,

424
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: was he was the third guy to begin with. You know,

425
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: it's not Hamdler. Patrick was sword of fantasy relevant. Not

426
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: you could start him when Judy was healthy, so and

427
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: he was good when something was out last year. I mean,

428
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: he's kind of a downfield, tall target. I mean, he's

429
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: not going to be a winner for a game winner

430
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: for you. But but if you're in a pinch, it's

431
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: super deep league. There's a lot of receivers out there

432
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: that you'd start over him, of course, but I mean,

433
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: he should probably be in your league. Evan Ingram Giants, say.

434
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: Coach Joe Judge says, Evan Ingram is making a lot

435
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: of jumps in terms of how he's working. I don't

436
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: know if that means he's jumping up and down or

437
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: if he is getting ready has a shot to play

438
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: Thursday against Washington. I find that hard to believe. I

439
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: find that hard to believe too. I gotta see it

440
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: from him before he's another one in just big picture,

441
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 1: and it's probably after this year. He's a free agent.

442
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: I'd like to own him next year. I think there's

443
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: a lot of talent there and if he goes the

444
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: right team, if you were a Saint or something, you

445
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: know wherever. I mean just I just don't think that

446
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: that offensive staff uses their players well at all. And

447
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: he seems like a kind of fragile type of dude too.

448
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: This is a fantasy note here that the Titans used

449
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: play action on eleven point six percent of their Week

450
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: one offensive plays, down from thirty six point four. I'm

451
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 1: not reading anything into that because they were down twenty

452
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: to nothing before they knew what happened. You're not running

453
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: play action down twenty twenty points, especially when you can't

454
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 1: block anybody. You know, like your your best offensive lineman's

455
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: get yeah, you want your quarterback turning this back. And

456
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, here comes Chandler Jones and seven

457
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: and eight right right, and you're losing and no one's

458
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: honoring the run. And I mean, I'm sure people like

459
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: Williams and all you do is talk about play action

460
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: and you know that the running game doesn't matter. But

461
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: if you can't block it, I mean this, the play

462
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: still takes longer to pull off if you're not blocking

463
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: a soul like they weren't. What you can't later that

464
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: was That was Lewis Riddicks. He hit a comment last thing,

465
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: and I thought he was good overall, but at one

466
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: point in Lewis Yeah, late in the fourth quarter, he

467
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: said something about the or no. It was on the

468
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 1: Ravens final drive and they were they're running down the

469
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: the field and he said, they've totally negated the the

470
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: the Oakland pass or Vegas pass rush, um by running

471
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: the football. No kidding. If you run the football the

472
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: pass rushers, right, you're not therefore rushing the passer anymore. Yeah,

473
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: you can definitely do a number on the pass rusherman,

474
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: you don't throw the football. Yes, I guess that's a

475
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: good point. Uh. Hey, I say stupid things too. If

476
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: you're on Yeah, if you're on the air long enough,

477
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: you will do that. One final note here, um, Actually

478
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: the couple of the Titans released kicker Mike Badgeley, so

479
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: they don't have a kicker on their roster right now.

480
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: There's anyone been worse at the kicker. They've gone through

481
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: kickers over the last three years. Unbelievable. Yeah, it makes

482
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: you wonder maybe it's not you, it's me. You know,

483
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: t have a thing like maybe Rabel just doesn't like kickers.

484
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: Well he did come up under Cower and Belichick, and

485
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: you know, right, right right, maybe that's not a great

486
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: job if you're a kicker, you know, you know. Uh.

487
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: And finally, Dwayne Eskridge with the Seahawks. The wide receiver.

488
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: Rookie wide receivers in the league's concussion protocol, So that's

489
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 1: not good for him. You wouldn't think that a rookie

490
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: coming back, he's gonna probably be in a protocol all

491
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 1: week long. Won't practice. Doesn't sound skinny guy too. I mean,

492
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: I know it's not in the head in the brain's

493
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: head in the brain, but those guys that take big

494
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: shots and their body gets flown around. I think he

495
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: has a little bit of an injury history going back

496
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: to college. So keep an eye on that. Keep an

497
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: eye on that. Yeah, that could be good for like

498
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: an Everett though, he could be good for the third

499
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: receiver there, and I think Everett has a chance to

500
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 1: be He's okay they throw to him to every one

501
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: of my guys. Yeah, but that's gonna do it for
