1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: What two three rights and in the middle of the

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: Hello's football down in the one yard line?

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: How about that?

4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: That is the ultimate kabash and we are underway.

5
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 4: Hello everyone, Welcome back to another episode of the Action

14
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 4: a free agency frenzy happening right now in the NFL.

15
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 4: We talked about it on the last episode. You have

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 4: articles on the Action Network analyzing the big moves this week.

17
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 4: I have some pieces looking at the twenty nineteen prop

18
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 4: market for a lot of the players in new situations.

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 4: We will definitely talk about all of that and more

20
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 4: in future episodes, but right now we're here to talk

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 4: about the Alliance.

22
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: How is it going.

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: It's been one of the busier weeks in March. I

24
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 3: can remember in recent memory. But when it's all centered

25
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 3: on football, man, you can never complain too much.

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: So I'm ready.

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 3: I'm ready to get back and to watch, analyze and

28
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: something that's at least happening within the next week.

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty amazing that we are so busy in

30
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 4: March and we are doing nothing. I mean, you and

31
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 4: I doing nothing with March madness, you know. So like

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 4: there's everyone else in the company is focused on basketball,

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 4: as they should be, but you and I we have

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 4: been able to carve out this little niche where.

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: We still have the ability to talk about football. So

36
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty nice.

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 4: Let's jump into it week five, March, to the halfway

38
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: point of the regular season for the Alliance, And so

39
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: I think it's a good opportunity for us to kind

40
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 4: of look back at some of the odds to open

41
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 4: the season, in odds to win the championship, some of

42
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: the win totals, and just what we thought about some

43
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 4: of these teams to start the season and what our

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: estimation is of those teams now.

45
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: So let's start at the top, the Arizona hot Shots.

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: They opened the season with a league high six and

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 4: a half win total, which already looks as if it

48
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 4: is imperiled. And then they were favored at plus two

49
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 4: to fifty odds to win the championship. Currently that number

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 4: is at five hundred. What are your thoughts on the

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 4: hot shots here.

52
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 3: I mean, we kind of faded at the beginning of

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 3: the year just because it was like, how could we

54
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 3: have this much of a prohibitive favor in a league

55
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: that we knew nothing about?

56
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 2: But after two weeks it looked like they were the

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 2: real deal.

58
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: I mean with their offense, so Mobe had a much

59
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 3: faster pace than everyone, just passing game with John Wallford

60
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 3: really just hitting on all cylinders first two weeks. But yeah,

61
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 3: they hit a skit recently and just really don't look

62
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: like that same team at all. And another odds is

63
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 3: still plus five hundred, which I guess second best in

64
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 3: the league. But I don't think they played like the

65
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 3: second best team in the league, you know, since really

66
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: those first two weeks. So we'll see if they can

67
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 3: turn around. I mean, Walford's still been I know last

68
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 3: week he had those three interceptions, still managed to lead

69
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: a pretty close second half comeback, So I mean, I

70
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 3: don't think they're among the worst teams in the league,

71
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 3: but definitely Johnny in the wrong direction.

72
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you, and to give an outline

73
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 4: of what my thoughts were, what my strategy was in

74
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 4: terms of betting. At the beginning of the season, we

75
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 4: looked at the win total market and you were right

76
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 4: on when it came to fading the hot Shots and

77
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 4: investing in the Birmingham Iron. All of the other teams

78
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: had win totals that were, you know, kind of like

79
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: right in the middle of around like four to six,

80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 4: and it just didn't seem like it was worth investing there.

81
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: I believe we both took under six and a half

82
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 4: for the hot Shots in over three and a half

83
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: for the Birmingham Iron. It looks like both of those

84
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 4: have a very strong chance of hitting. As long as

85
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: the Iron don't lose every game for the rest of

86
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: the season and as long as the hot Shots don't

87
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 4: win every game for the rest.

88
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: This season, both of those are going to hit.

89
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 4: And then in terms of betting to win the title,

90
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 4: I wasn't going to take hot Shots. You convinced me

91
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 4: on that, and I think you were right. There shouldn't

92
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 4: be any team in a league this unknown that's a

93
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: prohibited favorite I definitely wasn't going to bet on the

94
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 4: Atlanta Legends. They were at plus five hundred because of

95
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: the situations with their head coach and with Mike vick

96
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 4: Is the non offensive coordinator, And I definitely wasn't going

97
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: to bet on the Memphis Express, which opened the season

98
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 4: with Christian Hackenberg as their quarterback. Other than that, I

99
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 4: took positions, shopped around to try to find the best

100
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 4: spots in the market that I could, and one of

101
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 4: those teams, the Salt Lake Stallions, which we were relatively

102
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 4: high on, that really hasn't worked out too well in

103
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 4: terms of record. They're one and four. They were plus

104
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 4: four hundred. I got them a plus five hundred. They

105
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 4: had a four and a half win total mark. Currently

106
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 4: they are twenty five hundred. They have been better than

107
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 4: their record I would maintain, but they just haven't been

108
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 4: able to get wins. What are your thoughts on this team?

109
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you said it.

110
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 3: I mean they lost Josh Woodrom They're starting quarterback, after

111
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 3: the first half of a football they played, and they

112
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: didn't get them back to Week three, so I think

113
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 3: that was kind of a tough spot for them recover.

114
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: But it was just a situation where based on what

115
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: we knew from like NFL preseason stats and kind of

116
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 3: college performance, it did look like Woodrom had a realistic

117
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 3: chance to be the best quarterback in the league.

118
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: That hasn't panned out.

119
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: I mean, Garrett Gilbert and Orlando have easily taken that

120
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: on or all season, but just one of those things

121
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 3: where their odds were high enough and with I think

122
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: another point we have with them was just so many

123
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: Utah kind of esque players were around them. It seemed

124
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: like a team that could really get the community rally

125
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: behind them. Maybe we didn't give the enough credit to

126
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: the fact that Florida, you know, is pumping out NFL

127
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: Cobra athletes more than the United States. So a couple

128
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: of regrets there, But overall, I mean, I still think,

129
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 3: like you said, they're playing better than their record, and

130
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: they are in the worse They're in the lesser division

131
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 3: that doesn't include Orlando, so still have an outside shot

132
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: of maybe sneaking in, but definitely not looking good.

133
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 4: All right, Well, the top of that conference, the Western Conference,

134
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: we have the San Antonio Commanders at three and two,

135
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: But man, this is not a team that looks like

136
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: they should be three and two. They opened the season

137
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 4: plus five hundred with a five and a.

138
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: Half win total.

139
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 4: Despite being three and two, they are now plus seven

140
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 4: hundred and they have a negative fourteen point differential on

141
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: the season. So really something of a pretender here. But

142
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 4: what are your thoughts on them?

143
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you said it, man, I think they're big time pretenders.

144
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 3: Logan Woodside finally had a good game last week. I

145
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 3: mean it was it was so bad. He didn't have

146
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: a quarterback rating above seventy in weeks one through four,

147
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 3: and he went all the way up to one hundred

148
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 3: and twenty last week, So cannot like overstate how much

149
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: of an outlier game that was. And then the defense

150
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: got all these turnovers in the first half, but San

151
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: Antonio lost that second half twenty five to three in

152
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 3: that win they had last week, So I really think

153
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 3: it was more of a fluky first half than anything.

154
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 3: Because the rest of the season, their defense ranks dead

155
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: last and both yards allowed for passive times and yards

156
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 3: allowed per rush attemps, so I think it's still the

157
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 3: league's worst defense.

158
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: That they do have a good pass rush that's allowed.

159
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 3: Them to create some of these turnovers, so I don't

160
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: think it's super random. I mean they have done something

161
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 3: as well, but I mean overall, just on a per

162
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: play basis, they've been the worst. And I think they've

163
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: been on the right side of some variants to start

164
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: the year, but I don't really see their luck continuing.

165
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: The Orlando Apollos, the undefeated Orlando Apollos, I should say,

166
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 4: open the season at plus five hundred with a win

167
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: total of six. I've seen them in the market recently

168
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 4: at even money to win the championship, which on the

169
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 4: one hand, I totally understand because they do look like

170
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 4: the best team. On the other hand, I mean, anything

171
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: could happen, and you know, there are some other teams

172
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: that you could see potentially winning a game against them

173
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. But yeah, hopefully everyone was able to

174
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 4: get them at plus five hundred ian.

175
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this team?

176
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree even money is a little bit of

177
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: a stretch to bet on them right now.

178
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: I did see them at plus two point fifty across some.

179
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: Books, and I'd still be willing to lay that amount,

180
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: I think because they do seem like by far just

181
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: the best team, specifically on offense. But all so, this

182
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 3: secondary is super legit, with a Keith Reezer Marquez White.

183
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: But there's gun through a lot of these x NFL

184
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 3: guys that have come in and played really well, and

185
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: maybe a part of that's getting to practice against the

186
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 3: best passing offense in the league every single day of

187
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: the week. So throwing the ball and being able to

188
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 3: stop the pass are kind of the two biggest things

189
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: these days, and Orlando does both those things artably better

190
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: than anyone else in the league. So five and zero,

191
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 3: we really haven't seen anyone slow down the offense for

192
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 3: the most part, and they're moving.

193
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: All right up.

194
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 4: Next the Atlanta Legends at two and three, and which

195
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: I should say, I think they are lucky to be

196
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 4: two and three even they open the season at plus

197
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 4: five hundred with a win total of four. Currently they

198
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: are plus twenty five hundred to win the championship, which

199
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: it is definitely not going to happen. They have scored

200
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 4: a league low sixty seven points and allowed a league

201
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: high one hundred and twenty three points for a different

202
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 4: a differential of minus fifty six. I mean, it's hard

203
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: to believe that a team with a differential like that

204
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 4: across only five games has somehow found a way to

205
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: win two games. But I mean, here we are the

206
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: Atlanta Legends. What do you have to say. Well, the

207
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 4: answer is easy. Aaron Murray and I'll tell you what.

208
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: He looks like, one of the better quarterbacks so far

209
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: of these last two weeks that they've been to and

210
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: o with him. With that said, I mean, if Mettenburger

211
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 3: doesn't throw a late game pick last week, Atlanta easily

212
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: could have lost that game.

213
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: They could have been won in four.

214
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: So I mean, I get the point differential definitely paints

215
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: them as a worst team. I think they have been

216
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: that for most of the season. But I mean it's

217
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: tough to overstate how good Murray looks out there. He's

218
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 3: taking a lot of chances downfield, but he looks accurate,

219
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 3: and he looks a lot like the guy that should

220
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 3: have been.

221
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: Started from week one.

222
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: And we've seen that now with Memphis Atlanta, and it

223
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: looks like Birmingham this coming week where a quarterbacks switch

224
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 3: could change the tides of the season.

225
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: I agree that there.

226
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 3: I don't think their defense has really been good enough

227
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 3: all season to warrant a championship push here at the

228
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 3: end of the year, but at the very least, I

229
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: mean even if even if you want to call Atlanta

230
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: the worst team in the league, and I won't dis

231
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: with you, they're much more competitive than they were three

232
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 3: weeks ago when they were also the worst team in

233
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 3: the league.

234
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 4: That's yeah, that's totally fair and good point about Aaron Murray.

235
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 4: And I think it speaks to the fact that not

236
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 4: even in this league, but in the NFL and other leagues,

237
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 4: it is just hard, I think for even people who

238
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 4: know the quarterback position to scout the quarterback position and

239
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 4: to be able to tell which guys will perform the

240
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 4: best on game day within their particular system. It's just

241
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: it's really hard to do. And you know, I think

242
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: by the numbers, I would have expected that Murray should

243
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 4: be the guy who was starting. He was a pretty

244
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 4: solid player in college. It just didn't work out for

245
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 4: him in the NFL. There were size concerns he had

246
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 4: an injury. But yeah, I guess I should say it's

247
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 4: not a surprise given what he did in college, that

248
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 4: he is taking advantage of the opportunity is he has

249
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 4: gotten out, But it is weird that he wasn't the

250
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: guy to start the season to begin with. Let's talk

251
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 4: about the San Diego Fleets three and two at this point,

252
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 4: I would say, I mean the hot Shots, It's hard

253
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 4: to know exactly what's happening with them, but the Fleet,

254
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: they look like they might be the best team in

255
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 4: the Western Conference. They opened the season at plus one

256
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 4: thousand to win the championship four and a half win total.

257
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,679
Speaker 4: They have now catapulted two plus five point fifty to

258
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: win the championship. So now looking like one of the

259
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 4: top three or four teams in the league.

260
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts here?

261
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: It seems like they're finally catching up and learning Mike

262
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 3: March's system a little better, which we have confirmed is

263
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 3: what he was running with the Rams back in the

264
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: late nineties. I mean I literally heard him in an

265
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 3: interview say that, oh yeah, that play. You know, I've

266
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 3: been running to that since nineteen ninety eight. It's been great,

267
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 3: and hey, it's been working the last few weeks, so

268
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: good for them. But the big thing this last week

269
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 3: was they proved they can still win without Philip Nelson

270
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: because they started a year with Mike Burcavichi at quarterback.

271
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: We all saw his helmet get knocked into yesterday that

272
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 3: Week one game. Then they brought in Philip Nelson. He

273
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: played really well these next few weeks, but he fractured

274
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: his collarbone. Berkeer Vici came in last week and really

275
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: the game of the year was the San Diego Salt

276
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: Lake games. So far at Brookerbachi only completed I think

277
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 3: was fifty two percent of his passes, but consistently through

278
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 3: downfield enough he ended up clearing over.

279
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 2: Three hundred yards. And the guy's got a live arm

280
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 2: and he can make some plays.

281
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 3: So we've seen them have It's been a tough couple

282
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 3: of weeks for Jakwang Gardner, but overall, I think we

283
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: can say that they do have one of the league's

284
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 3: better rushing offenses. Maybe Bishop Sanke your boy can keep

285
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 3: that going and get that improving a little bit better.

286
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 2: And upcoming weeks. But yeah, I agree with you.

287
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 3: I think they're I think it's fine to call in

288
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: the favors in their division.

289
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

290
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 4: The Memphis Express, the one in four Memphis Express no

291
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 4: longer led by the way by Christian Hackenberg. They opened

292
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,559
Speaker 4: the season at plus a thousand with a win total

293
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 4: of five. They are now seventy five hundred to win

294
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: the championship. Last in the league, dead last. Ian thoughts

295
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: on this team.

296
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: Pretty much same thing I said about Atlanta, Like they're

297
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: not good, their defense isn't great. I'm not impressed by

298
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: their offensive system at all. With that said, Mettenberger is

299
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 3: playing well enough to keep him in these games. I

300
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: wish he had more of a chance to do that

301
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: earlier in the game. Maybe they could start winning some

302
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: because Metenburger nor Hackenberger. Hackenberg has a thrown even has

303
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 3: thrown more than twenty five passes in a game this year,

304
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: Like Mike Singletary is just so adamant on pounding Zach

305
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 3: Stacey and the eight man boxes all game and it's

306
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 3: not working.

307
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: But they're keeping these games close.

308
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: Like, look, they got blown out in week one with Hackenberg,

309
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 3: but after that they lost by two to Arizona. In

310
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: week two, they lost by four to Orlando. In week

311
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 3: three lost by they beat San Diego by three, and

312
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 3: week four and now we lost by three to Atlanta

313
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: last week. So all these games are closed. I mean

314
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 3: none of those games were decided by more than four points.

315
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 3: So Metedinburgh's a you know, Mettenburger. Oh my gosh, I'm

316
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 3: getting these guys confused. It's good enough to kind of

317
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: keep them in these games, even if he's not allowed

318
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 3: to take control of the offense. Yet defense has been

319
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 3: you know, kind of on and off all year. But again,

320
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 3: they're good enough to at least keep these games competitive.

321
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 4: Okay, So between and I think it probably is between

322
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 4: these teams, the Legends and the Express I think those

323
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 4: are the two worst teams in the league. Although you

324
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 4: might you might disagree, but is that your sense of

325
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 4: it right now, that these are the two worst teams?

326
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, and I am proud to say in

327
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 3: my preseason power rankings I did dub these guys as

328
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 3: a number seven and number eight teams. That was assuming

329
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: Matt Sims and Christian Hackenberg where the quarterbacks. So that

330
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 3: part's changed. But I think we've also seen the rest

331
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: of these rosters aren't that great. And the coaching concerns

332
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: we had about Singletary, you know, maybe not having the

333
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 3: most advanced offense, and Atlanta's aforementioned pretty much half their

334
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: coaches quitting before the season started. I thought those causes were,

335
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: you know, worth a ton of concern, and that's played

336
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 3: out all right.

337
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 4: Finally, the Birmingham Iron at three and two, they were

338
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 4: at plus one thousand to open the season, and I

339
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 4: actually found them at plus twelve hundred at one book,

340
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 4: so definitely grab that. The aforementioned win total of three

341
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 4: and a half. They are currently at plus five hundred.

342
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 4: I think they've surprised some people at least, but they

343
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: haven't really been all that explosive on offense, only scoring

344
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 4: ninety one points this year. But they have the you know,

345
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 4: the Iron Curtain of sixty four points allowed, league low

346
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 4: sixty four points allowed, so that differential of twenty seven

347
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 4: points is one of the better marks in the league.

348
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 4: What are your thoughts on the Iron, Like, I think

349
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 4: that if there is a team that is going to

350
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: beat the Apollos, it might be the Iron in the playoffs,

351
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 4: but I don't know if that is actually realistic or not.

352
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's fair to say.

353
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 3: And you said they've allowed sixty four points all year,

354
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: and I mean thirty one of those came the Apollos

355
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 3: last week, so they were incredible on defense weeks one

356
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 3: through four. You know, Jamar Summers, that secondary still the

357
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: best in the league when it comes to the yards

358
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: per attempt.

359
00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 2: They just got to be able to score the ball.

360
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: I mean, Luis Perez did not throw a passing touchdown

361
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: from weeks one to five, and freaking Keith Price comes

362
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: in last week and a half he ends up throwing

363
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: a touchdown. So the offense looked much better at Price

364
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: under center, and I think that's the way they can

365
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 3: go up and beat Orlando because I think they do

366
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: have a top two defense in the league by any

367
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 3: metric you want to look at. And so as long

368
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 3: as they can keep the keep the ball moving on

369
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: offense and just get some resemblance of a scoring attack,

370
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: they can get going. Because we found out that giving

371
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 3: the ball Trent Richardson twenty times a game right into

372
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 3: the line is not an effective way of moving the ball.

373
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 3: I think they have come to realize that we've seen

374
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: his snap rate go from you know, seventies eighties to

375
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 3: fifties sixties last few weeks, and they've they moves will

376
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 3: mention a little bit later about you know, replacing with

377
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 3: Darius Perkins and guys like that. So I think they

378
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: are moving in the right direction on offense, and like

379
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 3: we said, the defense is already there.

380
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is interesting that Richardson is actually a I

381
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 4: think a pretty good pass catching back like and that's

382
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 4: a skill that he displayed in college and in the NFL,

383
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 4: especially his first year with the Browns. But yeah, I

384
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 4: think it's weird that he is as good as he

385
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 4: is as a receiver and as bad as he is

386
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 4: as a runner. You typically like don't see that in

387
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 4: a guy of his size. But any final kind of

388
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 4: big picture takeaways from the first half of the season.

389
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think, you know, make sure you're playing

390
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: attention to these rosters week in and week out, because

391
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 3: we have seen quarterback chains have really change the entire

392
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: complexion of these teams. I mean the Memphis and Atlanta specifically.

393
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 3: I know they you know, we're still looking at two

394
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: below five hundred teams, but even just looking at their

395
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: point differentials with their with Mettenburger and Aaron Murray and there,

396
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: you know that I believe they actually have been much

397
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 3: closer to positive, if not positive, with those guys under center.

398
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 3: So and then also I saw Evan Sola say this

399
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 3: last week, and it was a good point. We just

400
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 3: got a pretty much a race like weeks one and two,

401
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 3: like from our mind at this point, we've had three

402
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: more weeks of football since then. I mean, that was

403
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: something last week where I was more on Arizona than

404
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 3: maybe I should have been, because I was letting the

405
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: real early parts of the season influence what we'd see

406
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 3: more recently.

407
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's fair, and I think it's even more so

408
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 4: than what we would expect in the NFL. So, like,

409
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 4: for instance, in the NFL, if we were entering Week six,

410
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 4: like I think we should still give more weight to

411
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 4: weeks one and two than we would in this league

412
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 4: because there's so much experimentation, Like a decent chunk of

413
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 4: the rosters have kind of rolled over in terms of

414
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 4: like who's actually getting snaps and relied on in different situations.

415
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 4: I was mentioning to one of our other editors, Katie

416
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 4: rich Creek, when we were doing our rankings, that I

417
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 4: feel like each week I have.

418
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: To relearn this league, you know, like.

419
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 4: When we do the rankings, like I just kind of

420
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 4: have to like go back in, look at the depth chart,

421
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 4: look to see really what happened over the last week,

422
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 4: over the past two weeks, Like nothing can be taken

423
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 4: for granted in terms of usage or any of the

424
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 4: players in this league. All right, let's get into the

425
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 4: Week six preview talking about the first game we have

426
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 4: on Sunday, at four pm Eastern the Memphis Express at

427
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: the Salt Lake Stallions. The Stallions are favored by eight

428
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 4: and a half. We have an over under right now,

429
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: a forty ian. Any injury news and notes, a couple.

430
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 3: Freach team Memphis arguably the number one receiver Dantes Bird

431
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 3: was a DMP Wednesday, so we'll keep an eye on that.

432
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 3: Could open up some value in a fan ball if

433
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 3: he ends up not being able to play. Now in

434
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 3: the Salt Lakes side of the ball, Matt Asciata are

435
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: he got placed on ir Cal and Clay as well,

436
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 3: So I got some potential opportunity for new running backs

437
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 3: Terry Swanson, blast from the Past turn Ward new AAF members,

438
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: So that that'd be fun to see.

439
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: But I think in the immediate, you know, this weekend, looking.

440
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 3: Ahead, we could look to target the Salt Lake rushing

441
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 3: attack without Osiata in there, because I'd assume Swanson award

442
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: if they do suit up, won't be in there for you. Now,

443
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: a large percentage of snaps, all right.

444
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: Key matchups the Memphis offense against the defense for Salt Lake.

445
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, so mention this before.

446
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 3: I mean, Memphis has been throwing the ball well as

447
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 3: long as Mettenberger's been under center. He has the second

448
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: highest yards per temperate in the league behind Gilbert, but

449
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 3: they don't let him throw. He hasn't gone over twenty

450
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 3: five passage yet this season, so they're really content to

451
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 3: just give Stacey the ball as much as possible. He's

452
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 3: only one of four backs averaging over fifteen combined carries

453
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 3: some targets per game. But now they're facing the Stallions

454
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 3: run defense that's been pretty much the best run d

455
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 3: all year. Their first and yards out for carry, first

456
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 3: and yards out per game, PFF's best our run defense there, legit.

457
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 3: So I'm kind of competed with how to approach this

458
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 3: one because I would like to think that Mike Singletary

459
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 3: and these guys will see that this is a problem

460
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 3: and choose to pass the ball more with Mettenberg. But

461
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 3: I'm also worried we're just going to see them run

462
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 3: the ball straight in the line.

463
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 4: No, I would expect for us not to see anything

464
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 4: out of the ordinary from Mike Singletary. I think he's

465
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 4: a creature of habit as a coach, and I think

466
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 4: you know when you have a talent, such a high

467
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 4: end talent like Zach Stacy, you just have to give

468
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 4: meeting him the ball as many times since possible. So yeah,

469
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 4: I wouldn't expect for us to see anything different than

470
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 4: what we have seen previously out of this offense. But

471
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 4: let's look at the other offense, Salt Lake going against

472
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 4: the Memphis defense.

473
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 3: Yes, I've been trying to figure out this kind of

474
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 3: how good the Salt Lake offenses all season. We haven't

475
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: seen many explosive plays. But again, you know, they were

476
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 3: on and off without Woodrom for the first few weeks,

477
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: but now we've seen him for a few weeks. And

478
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 3: so this last game again shoot out pretty much Salt

479
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: Lake San Diego. They'd comebacks for both teams. He set

480
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 3: season high marks in attempts for forty eight, yards were

481
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 3: three hundred and eighty and yards per attempt was seven

482
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 3: point nine. Also threw three picks, and you know, had

483
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 3: his fair share of turnovers. So I'm not sure if

484
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 3: they're shifting towards a pass first offense because their starter,

485
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: starting running back Brandon Oliver is done for the season,

486
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 3: or if it was just more of a game bloat

487
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 3: Tham because they were playing from behind. So that'll be

488
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: something to keep an eye on in the future because

489
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: right now the morning pierson L is like the Jarvis

490
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 3: Landry slot receiver that's just getting ten targets per game

491
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 3: on all these high.

492
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: Percent junderneath routs and it's been great to see.

493
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 3: And like Woodrom has consistently had the quickest release time

494
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 3: all season, and all pierson L is really running is

495
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: you know, these quick kittens routes from the slot. So

496
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 3: it's joy at match made in Heaven as far as fantasy,

497
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: and we saw I think Piersonell called like eight of

498
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 3: nine targets for one hundred and thirty yards last week

499
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 3: after he had that big price decrease. So I think

500
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 3: continuing to play into Pearsonel with his passing game is

501
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 3: going to help out because at this point with Brandon

502
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: Oliver also out, he's really their only proven guy.

503
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 2: All right.

504
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 4: And then Trell Newby is another guy to pay attention

505
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 4: to and I can't even remember how to pronounce his name.

506
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 4: Cynthia Freeland on the last show, was it Buogman.

507
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 2: Joel Bolagnamy. We got home with a nickname for him

508
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 2: to make that easier. Jay Boogie, Jay Boogie.

509
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: That's a good one. Yeah is good?

510
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Okay, anyway, you are leaning on this game here.

511
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Memphis plus eight and a half.

512
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: I mean, I wouldn't touch the money line, but I

513
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 3: just think this is way too high for pretty much

514
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 3: anything to be favored by eight and a half if

515
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 3: you're not Orlando.

516
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: I think it's just a little bit absurd.

517
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: You know.

518
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 3: Sean Corner, the odds maker, had his projecting spread out

519
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 3: five and a half to start the week, and I

520
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: agree with him there.

521
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: So I just think it's too high.

522
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 3: Mentioned before, last four games Memphis has played, I've all

523
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 3: been decided within four points, So I think even if

524
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 3: they're not really good enough to win some of these games,

525
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 3: they are good enough to keep him close.

526
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting that I think the Stallions are better

527
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 4: than their record, and I don't think the Express are

528
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 4: really all that good. But at the same time, I

529
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 4: don't I don't know if eight and a half points

530
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 4: really separates these two teams. So I'm with you there

531
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 4: on the on Memphis, and I should say in terms

532
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: of over unders, I'm just I'm done trying to kind

533
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 4: of figure out figure out which way I should be

534
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: leaning on these. Yeah, let's go to the next game. Here,

535
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 4: we have the Arizona Hotshots at the Orlando Apollos on

536
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 4: Saturday at a PM. The Apollo is favored by nine

537
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 4: with a forty three point five over under, which at

538
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 4: this point is a pretty high mark for a game

539
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 4: total for the league. Any injury news and notes.

540
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, real quick, I'm with you on trying to figure

541
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: out these over unders.

542
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 2: Man, it's been so hard.

543
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: I feel like we flip flopped a couple times on

544
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: like a right time to pound all the overs?

545
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: Now, time to pound all the unders.

546
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 3: I was happy to hit the over on the Birmingham

547
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 3: or Lando game last week, but it was like thirty

548
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 3: four or something like that. But yeah, I think, especially

549
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 3: this week, I'm just staying away from all these So

550
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: all right, quick injuries with this one big relevant one

551
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 3: for DFS is Arizona.

552
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 2: Richard Mulaney has had knee injury.

553
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: Hasn't played since Week two, but he was a full

554
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 3: time receiver the first two weeks of the season, played

555
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: forty two snaps in Week one and fifty eight and

556
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 3: week two, and reportedly he will be back this week

557
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,639
Speaker 3: for the first time. So he's a stone cold three

558
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 3: K on fan ball, pretty much a potential free square,

559
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 3: especially because Josh Hoff got put on ir last week,

560
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 3: so yeah, even you know, it's almost a certainty that

561
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 3: we're gonna see Mulaney, Freddie Martino and Rashard Ross and

562
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 3: threw wide receiver sets, So definitely a situation to look

563
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 3: for there. And then for Orlando, a few banged up

564
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 3: guys on defense mentioned before, the secondary's really loaded in

565
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: a Ladarius Gunter and Marquez White. We're both limited in

566
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 3: practice this week, so someone keep an eye on there.

567
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 3: But I don't think any of these guys are at

568
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 3: super risky missing the game all right.

569
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 4: When the season started, like after week one, we would

570
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 4: have thought, Okay, this is going to be such an

571
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 4: awesome game where we have what we assumed to be

572
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 4: the two best teams in the league, both high scoring offenses,

573
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 4: not necessarily quite as exciting at this point as we

574
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 4: maybe would have anticipated, but you still have an Arizona

575
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 4: offense that you know potentially could put up some points

576
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 4: going against Orlando's defense. Rashad Ross is a guy who

577
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: just seems to do nothing but score touchdowns.

578
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on the matchup here?

579
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this game will tell us a lot

580
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 3: about Arizona and if they can still kind of stop there,

581
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 3: stumble here and get back to that team we saw

582
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: the first two weeks of the season, or if they're

583
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 3: just going to keep struggling, because I mean starting this year,

584
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 3: remember we thought it was gonna be Trevor Knight at

585
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 3: quarterback and John Wolford kind of came out of nowhere

586
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 3: took the job. He's still been playing great. I mean

587
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 3: even last week he threw three picks and I believe

588
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: the first half only two of them are his fault.

589
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 3: But still but after that, I mean, helped really lead

590
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,960
Speaker 3: Arizona back in that second half and got them within

591
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 3: one score winning that game.

592
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 2: But it all goes.

593
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 3: Through Rashaw Ross. I mean you said it. He's got

594
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 3: twenty four or thirty three targets this year for four

595
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 3: hundred and one yards and six touchdowns, six touchdowns, nine

596
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 3: incomplete targets. I mean, that is stupid efficient. He's always

597
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 3: got a swaggy touchdown dance to end each one of them.

598
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 2: So enjoyed watching him play.

599
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: But it's just I think he really their offense runs

600
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 3: through him, and he's gonna have to go through pretty

601
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 3: much the best crop of corners in the league. I

602
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: mean each of Keith Weezer, Cody Riggs, Gunter and dji

603
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: Olatalie are top twelve cornerbacks by PFF, so they have

604
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 3: more than enough bodies to throw at him to try

605
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 3: to slow them down.

606
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: And I think if you know.

607
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: Rashaun Ross is able to get loose, it's gonna be

608
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 3: tough for the Arizona offense to do much because we

609
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: have seen Orlando also both the top four run defense

610
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 3: in the yards lob per carries.

611
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 2: So we need.

612
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 3: Wolford and Ross to look like that top one or

613
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 3: two wide receiver quarterback combo that we saw at started

614
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 3: the season.

615
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: All right, let's look at the other side of this matchup.

616
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 4: We have that high powered Apollo's offense going against the

617
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 4: Arizona defense. And I mean just last week, the Apollos

618
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 4: really took it to the Birmingham Iron, which I think

619
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 4: up to this point we would have said, I have

620
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 4: the best defense in the league. I mean, we still

621
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 4: might say they have the best defense in the league,

622
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 4: but I mean, they really went at them, and it's

623
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 4: it was so impressive to the extent that you have

624
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 4: to ask yourself, like can anyone stop them?

625
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: They scored one hundred and forty nine points on the season.

626
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 4: The second team after them is the San Diego Fleet

627
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 4: with one hundred and eleven. So there's just this massive

628
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 4: discrepancy between what they were able to do on offense

629
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 4: and what any team to this point has been able

630
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 4: to show. What are your thoughts on this matchup here?

631
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 2: They said it, man, there's a different clash right now.

632
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: Charles Johnson.

633
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 3: No one can cover this guy, and then if you

634
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 3: do try to double him. You got guys like Ronald Hall,

635
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: Jalen Marshall and Chris Thompson that are just continuously able

636
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: to make these big plays with Garret Gilbert just slinging

637
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 3: it every single week. So yeah, I mean last week

638
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 3: was supposed to be the potential crypt night for him,

639
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 3: the league's best secondary and Jamaar Summers and all those guys,

640
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: but didn't even make a difference. You know, we saw

641
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 3: Garret Gobert and company just continue to tear them up.

642
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 3: So the big thing for Orlando is that they also

643
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 3: low key have won the league's more efficient out running games.

644
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 3: I mean, we've seen Deernest Johnson, debian Smith, even a

645
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 3: Keith Hunt when he's been healthy. All these guys have

646
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: been really effective. It hasn't been the easiest situation to

647
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 3: get a grasp on in fantasy because they are rote

648
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 3: any good amount, but again and again and again, they're

649
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: just being super efficient. So I mean, I think last

650
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: week they averaged like six point two yards per carry.

651
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: We're up over one hundred and eighty rushing yards in

652
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 3: addition that explosive passing attacks, so it's like pick your poison.

653
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: And you know, Steve Spurry has also done a great

654
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 3: job with just every single week you see one or

655
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:17,479
Speaker 3: two more wrinkles and just these trick plays that are

656
00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:19,400
Speaker 3: really putting his guys in a position to succeed.

657
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: So it's been a great effort top to bottom for

658
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 2: that offense.

659
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk about which way you might be leaning for

660
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: the game. Nine is a prey seep number.

661
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 4: There is I believe maybe an eight and a half

662
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 4: out there somewhere, but that's where we are. Around eight

663
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 4: and a half or nine, I think I would probably

664
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 4: lean to the apollos, but it's it's not strong.

665
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you.

666
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 3: I mean I was talking to earlier some guys and

667
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 3: this was the one line that I.

668
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: Was like, probably best to stay away.

669
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 3: If I gun to my head, I will take the

670
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 3: Apollos minus nine because again, we really haven't seen anyone

671
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: match them yet this season, so you know, why stop

672
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 3: being against that now? But yeah, I mean i'd say

673
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 3: if you want to do anything with them, maybe just

674
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 3: throw the money line into a PARTA because I think

675
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 3: they'll win, but I don't know if they'll do it

676
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: on nine.

677
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean with this league, it's interesting in that.

678
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 4: So I think if you look at the NFL, if

679
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 4: you have a good quarterback, your offense, I mean, just

680
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 4: forget what we saw in the Super Bowl, but your

681
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 4: offense should be able to do a lot against the

682
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 4: opposing defense. And then I think that's even more the

683
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 4: case in this league because of the rules stipulating how

684
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 4: many rushers teams can send at the quarterback. And so

685
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 4: I think that is just a really big edge when

686
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 4: we're evaluating offenses against a defense.

687
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: Even if a defense is.

688
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 4: Good, I think there's only so much good that they

689
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 4: can do against a really great offense because they can't

690
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 4: do a lot of creative things on their front. And

691
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 4: so I think the inability to bring pressure or to create,

692
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 4: like to manufacture pressure just puts more pressure on the secondary.

693
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: And if you have a good aerial attack. It's just

694
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: it's hard to compete against that.

695
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

696
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: I actually heard a I don't know if a spur,

697
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 3: but someone's asking a coach about why Birmingham's defense was

698
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: so good, and explanation was pretty much like, most teams

699
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 3: are only running two or three covered schemes and Birmingham's

700
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: running five. So, I mean, even if the defense is

701
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: a little bit better than the rest of the league,

702
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 3: it's I think there's still levels and we've seen so

703
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 3: far that good offense does be good defense.

704
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, so, but yeah, big picture of the hotshots have

705
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 4: really underperformed expectations, which naturally makes me think of a

706
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 4: rectile this function. There's nothing worse I've heard than disappointing

707
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 4: with a flaccid showing when you were looking to impress

708
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 4: with a muscular hot shot performance. If you have ever,

709
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 4: during the heat of regular season action, found yourself falling

710
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 4: short of your understandably strong and lofty expectations.

711
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: You should check out.

712
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 4: Roman guys are terrible at taking care of their health,

713
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 4: whether it's a knee injury, bad back, or something worse.

714
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 4: Guys are usually more comfortable rubbing some dirt on it

715
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 4: than seeing a doctor. The same is true for a

716
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 4: rectile this function. Study show that seventy percent of guys

717
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 4: who experience EDIE don't get treated for it, which is

718
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 4: just a horror find statistic. Guys, you need to take

719
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 4: better care of yourselves. Thankfully, Roman created an easy way

720
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: to get checked out by a doctor and treated online.

735
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 4: jump into the Sunday action by the way, my dog

736
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 4: is barking in the background because she's just so excited

737
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 4: about these games we have On Sunday at four pm Eastern,

738
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 4: we have the San Antonio Commanders at the Atlanta Legends.

739
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 4: The Legends are favored by one and a half a

740
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 4: forty point five over under Ian news and notes.

741
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 3: I heard your dog bark when you said Atlanta, So

742
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: we got to pound the Legends one and a half

743
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 3: at this point. But yeah, so not not too much

744
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 3: to look at either way. But for San Antonio, Cole

745
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 3: Hunt wasn't able to practice and they got a defensive

746
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 3: lineman Joey Mambu wasn't able to go as well. But

747
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 3: the good news was that Kenneth Farrow, who looked like

748
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 3: he got ole banged up last week, isn't even lested

749
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 3: on the injury reports, so we're expecting him to be aoka.

750
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 3: And then for Atlanta, running back Lawrence Pittman couldn't practice

751
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 3: with an ankle injury that.

752
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 2: Could be notable if he's out.

753
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 3: Could I free up some snaps or terry On Folson

754
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 3: get him over the fifty percent mark potentially. Also, wide

755
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 3: receiver Urban Phillips and safety Ed Reynolds with a groin

756
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 3: were limited at least, so they're looking like they're on

757
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 3: track to play.

758
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 4: I mean, full disclosure, this is a game I absolutely

759
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 4: don't even care about. I mean, it's not as if

760
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 4: that's the case, but these two teams, like they are

761
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 4: really uninspiring, and I find it hard even to kind

762
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 4: of think about which side of this I wanted be on.

763
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: But let's start with the San Antonio offense against the

764
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 4: Lanta defense.

765
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: What do you see?

766
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with your assessment about the game.

767
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 3: Maybe I'm a little too high in Atlanta at this point,

768
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 3: but we'll see, we'll see. Yeah, so Santonio offense. I

769
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 3: mentioned this before, but Woodside really just played by far

770
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 3: the best game of his AF career, at least in

771
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 3: week five. Really what did not look good in weeks

772
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 3: one through four. I was hoping they would make the

773
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 3: switch to Markkeith Williams. You know, it's really a dual

774
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,239
Speaker 3: threat guy that could be fancy friendly for US. But

775
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 3: he hasn't even played a snap since Week three. So

776
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: it looks like Logan Woodside is cemented as a quarterback

777
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 3: and now he's guys sawid atl secondary and they've allowed

778
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 3: the third few US yards to attempt this season.

779
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 2: You know, it's not been the most dominant.

780
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: I would say there's definitely a tier drop off between

781
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 3: Orlando and Birmingham and then going to Atlanta, but still,

782
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 3: you know they haven't been bad. The one thing to

783
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 3: knowl on the offense, though we touched on this last week,

784
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 3: is that Kenneth Farrow does not control his backfield. I mean,

785
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 3: he had I think those thirty carries in Week four

786
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 3: and really played like seventy percent snaps or something like that,

787
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 3: but we saw him only play forty four percent. Now,

788
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 3: last week, both Trey Williams and Aaron Green hashtag free

789
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: Aaron Green back from the Dead got in twenty eight

790
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,439
Speaker 3: percent snaps as well. So it's an offense that has,

791
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 3: you know, a running back by committee, a quarterback that

792
00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 3: I think is going to regress a little bit in

793
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: this next week, but we'll kind of see how it goes.

794
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 3: I think there is some fantasy potential here because one

795
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 3: of the things I've been doing. You can tear this

796
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 3: article on Fantasy Labs just got posted, but I've been

797
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: taking each wide receiver and running backs targets plus carries

798
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 3: divided by their salary, just to see you know who

799
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 3: is maybe undervalue with the amount of opportunities are getting.

800
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 3: And Greg Ward, Mchael McKay, and DeMarcus Airs were all

801
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 3: top eight wide receivers in that metric. So I do

802
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 3: think continuing to target these San Antonio wide receivers could

803
00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 3: be helpful because, based on their targets, are still nder price.

804
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, Aaron Green really interesting from a talent perspective, and

805
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 4: obviously if you can give the ball to a TC

806
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 4: running back, you kind of have to do it. But

807
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 4: we don't know if that's actually going to happen. Let's

808
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 4: look at the Atlanta offense versus the San Antonio defense.

809
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 1: What do you think?

810
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean we've been hyping up Aaron Murray.

811
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 3: He's completed sixty two percent of his passes this year

812
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 3: for an efficient seven point one yards per attempt. I mean, really,

813
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 3: if you watched the game last week, a lot of

814
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: these throws, you know, he's throwing down the middle, downfield,

815
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 3: like in the tight windows. I mean, it's really been

816
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: impressive to watch. And we got the Santonio defense that's

817
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 3: really I mean, they had a good first half against

818
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 3: Arizona last week, but other than that, they haven't really

819
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 3: slowed down in one all year.

820
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 2: I mean again, they've.

821
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 3: Lot the most yards per carry and yards per attempt

822
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 3: been struggling to slow down anyone. The only problem here

823
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 3: is that Atlanta has like the most just committees in

824
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 3: every single spot their roster pretty much in the league.

825
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 3: Terren Folston had a nice little breakout game last week.

826
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 3: The problem is his salary shot up on fan ball

827
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 3: and he still only played forty six percent of the

828
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: offensive snap So we've seen a constant running back by

829
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 3: committee there, and then at wide receiver has been the

830
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 3: same thing.

831
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 2: I mean, there were seven wide.

832
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 3: Receivers for Atlanta last week that played between nineteen sixty

833
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 3: seven percent of the snaps. The only guy to go

834
00:35:57,040 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 3: higher than that was the tight end Keith Towbridge, who

835
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: was at eighty three. So it's really a mess trying

836
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 3: to figure out who to target there. But with Aaron

837
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 3: Murray controlling it, it's at least beneficient.

838
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's seriously those timeshairs they make ranking a

839
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 4: massive headache, you know. So it's like to the point

840
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 4: where I just almost want to put all of them

841
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 4: at the very bottom of the rankings and just be like,

842
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 4: I don't even want to I don't even want to

843
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 4: think about this.

844
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: Which way are you leaning for this game?

845
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: I'm going with Atlanta MIAs one and a half.

846
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 3: I think we saw the very best version of San

847
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,320
Speaker 3: Antonio last week, and I'm just not convinced their defense

848
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 3: is going to be able to come on the road

849
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 3: here and I get the job done.

850
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 2: Big point though, this is San Antonio's fourth consecutive road game,

851
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 2: which I believe you have the stab in the last

852
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 2: time that happened in the NFL. But the point is

853
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 2: it's very rare, and you know, again, I think in

854
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: an underwhelming game, Aaron Murray and the guys can get

855
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: the job none.

856
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's that's like, never happened in the NFL.

857
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 4: We've seen very rarely a team have to play three

858
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 4: straight road games. It happened with the Patriots two years ago.

859
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 4: But it's just that something that is so rare. So yeah,

860
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 4: this is a game I think I'm going to be

861
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 4: staying away from the line is pretty close. I feel

862
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 4: as if I don't have a strong read on either team.

863
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 4: If I had to kind of shoot from the hip,

864
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 4: my gut would be to be against the Legends, just

865
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 4: because I don't think that highly of them, but they

866
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 4: are at home, they are playing against the team on

867
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 4: a four straight road game, and they do have a

868
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 4: new quarterback. So, like you add all that together and

869
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 4: I just I feel too uncertain really to take a

870
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 4: position on this. Let's go to the last game of

871
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 4: the weekend, eight pm Sunday, we have the Birmingham Iron

872
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 4: at the San Diego Fleet. The Fleet are favored by

873
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 4: six the over under of thirty five point five. Believe

874
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 4: that's the lowmark for the weekend. In any injury news

875
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 4: and notes.

876
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 3: San Diego is pretty much healthy except for aj Tarki,

877
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: the stud linebacker.

878
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 2: He was at least limited to start the week, so

879
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 2: they could be getting him back.

880
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 3: Big Thill on Birmingham mentioned earlier how Arizona receiver Richard

881
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 3: Melanny is stone cold three K so is Birmingham receiver

882
00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 3: Amba at Tawau, who we saw really start in Week one.

883
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 3: But I'm leaning towards Mlany over Amba at this point

884
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 3: just because milleniy It was at least limited last week

885
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 3: and we have reports saying that he is trending towards playing.

886
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,439
Speaker 3: There's a good chance, because this is a Sunday game

887
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 3: at eight that we're not going to know till it's

888
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 3: too late to really make a roster adjustment if Amba's

889
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,279
Speaker 3: gonna end up playing. He was still only limited to

890
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 3: start the week, but something to maybe keep an eye on,

891
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 3: take advantage up next week and then also some roster

892
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 3: moves here. Ladarius Perkins, who we saw was actually one

893
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 3: of three running backs in the league that was averaging

894
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 3: over three targets per game. He got waived for Marshaun Coprich,

895
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 3: who I'm gonna be completely honest, I have no idea

896
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 3: what that guy is. I'm not sure if he's already

897
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 3: popped off on the cover.

898
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: Small school, small school, small school.

899
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 4: Running back, actually pretty productive and a smaller guy, not

900
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 4: very athletic, which so it makes sense why he never

901
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,760
Speaker 4: really got a shot in the NFL. But he's actually

902
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 4: someone who could potentially make it work in the AAF.

903
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 3: Hey the Cobra man. I support him now. I love

904
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,959
Speaker 3: how I you had that nickname right there ready, that's great.

905
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 3: But yeah, he could even get a bigger shot than

906
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: maybe he thought of first because Brandon Ross, who's now

907
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 3: their number two back, was limited with a growing injury.

908
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 3: So I had the big takeaway from all this is

909
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 3: that we could get at least one more week of

910
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 3: the complete Trent Richardson Show before the Cobra was able

911
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,919
Speaker 3: to really instill his will all right.

912
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 4: And on the other side of the ball, Actually one thing,

913
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 4: Amba is someone who is actually kind of interesting to me.

914
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 4: He was a guy at Maryland for a few seasons,

915
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 4: never really did much, and then transferred to Syracuse for

916
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 4: his final year as a grad student and was just

917
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,720
Speaker 4: absolutely dominant in the ACC in his final season, had

918
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 4: you know, fourteen hundred yards actually closer to fifteen hundred

919
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 4: yards receiving and fourteen receiving touchdowns, and actually had a

920
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 4: pretty decent physical profile. So, like, I don't know why

921
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 4: it never really worked out for him in the NFL,

922
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 4: or you know why he wasn't able to stick on

923
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 4: a roster, whether it's like he's just not good route

924
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 4: runner or something, But like, just in terms of his

925
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 4: final season production, in terms of his size and his

926
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 4: physical profile, this looks like the type of guy who

927
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 4: should be able to stick in the NFL, or should

928
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 4: get at least some sort of shot, And I just

929
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 4: don't know if he's been able to do it. But

930
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 4: because of those things, he's someone who actually really interests

931
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 4: me for the Alliance, Like Heith feels like just kind

932
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 4: of big picture, like the perfect type of player who

933
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 4: should be getting a shot in the Alliance. So people

934
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 4: can actually get some tape on him, they can see

935
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 4: if he is worthy of an opportunity in the NFL.

936
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 2: Definitely. I think.

937
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 3: I think as soon as he's healthy, he'll get a

938
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 3: chance to step back into some major snaps because other

939
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 3: I mean, after Quentin Patten, we've seen La Damian Washington

940
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 3: do some nice things in recent weeks, but they've had

941
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 3: to go to West saxon their tight end really to

942
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 3: look for some offense down the field. So if Ambuck

943
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,720
Speaker 3: can get healthy and show off some of that speed,

944
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 3: it'll be a much needed piece of the offense.

945
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 1: All right, let's look at the other side of that matchup.

946
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, so real quick, so big thing on Birmingham again.

947
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 3: Keith Price took over for Luis Perez last week, played

948
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: really well, guys, I mean eight point one yards per attempt,

949
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 3: sixty two percent completion rate, and was actually able to move.

950
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 3: I mean, Perez is just not a very fast guy,

951
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,399
Speaker 3: and he was also impacting his decision making as well.

952
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 3: And you know Price, you know, I look back at

953
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 3: his college stats, He's not known for being a big

954
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 3: time runner. I don't think I wouldn't call him a

955
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 3: duel threat, but he's at least good enough I getting

956
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 3: outside the pocket, extending some plays and you know, taking

957
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 3: chances downfield. So the big thing I'm paying attention to

958
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 3: head coach Tim Lewis after the game said, will continue

959
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 3: to work the way you've been working, but with an

960
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 3: ad in emphasis on he who moves it gets to

961
00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 3: stay in. I'm all about that. I'm all about when

962
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: you have your opportunity, if it moved, you get stay

963
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 3: at the helm. And I'm okay with that. Well, we

964
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 3: have five games of evidence that Luis Perez cannot move

965
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 3: the offense. So if that doesn't mean it's the Keith

966
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 3: Price show, I don't know what it is. So I'm

967
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,240
Speaker 3: confident taking a chance on Price as well a DFST salary,

968
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 3: even with a little bit of uncertainty there. But yeah,

969
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 3: and so moving on to the San Diego offense. Another

970
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 3: quarterback change. Mike brook OBECI is back. Saw him last week.

971
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 3: A lot of the same things at Price. I mean,

972
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 3: he did a good job taking chances field, pretty accurate,

973
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 3: even in a fairly tough matchup, but he's got the

974
00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 3: toughest matchup this week now against his Birmingham secondary keep

975
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 3: mentioning Jamar Summers, but he usually emerged as in my mind,

976
00:42:11,040 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 3: the best cornerback in the league Jack Tocho, and all

977
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,919
Speaker 3: those safeties are pretty good as well. I'm not really

978
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: blown away with any of the San Diego receivers other

979
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 3: than Dantes Ford. Who is you know, he made that

980
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 3: really great catch in double coverage.

981
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: In the game last week.

982
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: But it's now a crowded backfield with three pretty good

983
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 3: running backs, So I think San Diego can move the ball.

984
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 3: I'm just not super confident predicting who's going to get

985
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 3: the yards all right.

986
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 4: In terms of a way that you might be leaning

987
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 4: for me, I am all over Birmingham. I think this

988
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 4: might be the most mispriced line of the week, and

989
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 4: I should say I also don't think the lines this

990
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 4: week are as egregiously priced as the lines were last week.

991
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 4: But this one still sticks out to me and I'm

992
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 4: definitely on this one.

993
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts?

994
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with both those points. I think the

995
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 3: the Memphis line and this line of the two ones

996
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 3: I feel best about that the two we talk down

997
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:02,680
Speaker 3: the middle not so much, but yeah, I mean plus

998
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 3: six is just way too much even I mean we're

999
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 3: assuming Price gets to start. I don't know why he wouldn't.

1000
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 3: And with that in mind, it just again pres could

1001
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:12,320
Speaker 3: not move this offense, and Price looks so good last week.

1002
00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 2: I like the.

1003
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 3: Chances to do that, and I have been I feel

1004
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 3: like a little more pessimistic on San Diego over these

1005
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 3: past few weeks. And they have been playing better, able

1006
00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 3: to run the ball, and with Brookie Vici playing a

1007
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 3: little better, make some more explosive plays and we're used

1008
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 3: to seeing. But yeah, six points is just too much

1009
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 3: for what again could be the second best team in

1010
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 3: the league.

1011
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's look at some strategy from the fantasy perspective again.

1012
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 4: For a fan ball, you have a quarterback, running back,

1013
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 4: wide receiver, and then three flexes. So there is you know,

1014
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,439
Speaker 4: like literally a lot of flexibility in terms of how

1015
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 4: you can construct your rosters in for cash games. Who

1016
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 4: are some players who have caught your eye?

1017
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm continuing with the lock in Trent Richardson,

1018
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 3: Charles Johnson trained. I know they keep getting more expensive,

1019
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 3: but I clearly just in terms of targets and carries.

1020
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 3: These are the guys that are getting more opportunity to

1021
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 3: anyone else.

1022
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 2: And then moving on to the rest of the roster.

1023
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 2: Jerrol Presley I.

1024
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 3: Think is the must play running back this week because

1025
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 3: his salary dropped by sixteen hundred even though he still

1026
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 3: played fifty six percent of the offensive snaps, so Tim

1027
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 3: Cook had more carries.

1028
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 2: We also saw Tim Cook have more carries in week two.

1029
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 3: I mean, when they get behind, it's like they're more

1030
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 3: willing to put in Cook and Justin Stockton these guys

1031
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 3: and give them more of a chance. But Presley's still

1032
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 3: been that guy. He's been that guy all season. Literally,

1033
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 3: Week four like was the week where Presley's volume finally

1034
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,359
Speaker 3: turned in production. And I'm not going to shy away

1035
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 3: one bad week. That's exactly what we've seen half of

1036
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,879
Speaker 3: already this year. So get in Presley. You know, he's

1037
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 3: the cheapest feature back pretty much, and again one of

1038
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 3: only four backs this year with at least fifteen opportunities

1039
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 3: per game.

1040
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 2: And then Richard Mulaney.

1041
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:47,720
Speaker 3: Is probably the salary saver you got to really consider,

1042
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 3: especially if we get for sure confirmation.

1043
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 2: That he will play.

1044
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,959
Speaker 3: I think with that in mind, we can go get

1045
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,080
Speaker 3: Price and maybe stack him with Quinton Patton, who's another

1046
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 3: cheap wide.

1047
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 2: Receiver that has a really high opportunity.

1048
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 3: He's over the dollar score because look, he has seven

1049
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 3: point four targets per game and Charles Johnson has eight,

1050
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 3: and those are the top two guys in the league.

1051
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,719
Speaker 3: So I think, I mean, with this lineup, we can

1052
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 3: get Richardson, Presley Johnson and Patton, who have real possibilities

1053
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,400
Speaker 3: of being your kind of two most targeted receivers, and

1054
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 3: you're two running backs of the most opportunities.

1055
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: So if you can get that one off for cash games.

1056
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, Patton continues to be a guy that because of

1057
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 4: the opportunity, even if he hasn't been very productive, I'm

1058
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 4: still ranking him pretty highly because they continue to target him.

1059
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:33,959
Speaker 4: So that's just I mean, the opportunity is always there.

1060
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 4: From the GPP perspective, Who are the players who are

1061
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:38,919
Speaker 4: interested in Yeah?

1062
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 3: I think another guy who can say that about is

1063
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 3: Michale McKay. He finally cashed down some of that last week,

1064
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 3: end up only getting I think five targets because Santonio

1065
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 3: is able to get ahead so quickly, but he's locked

1066
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 3: in as a number one receiver as well, and both

1067
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 3: Patton and McKay just are too cheap to be number

1068
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 3: one receivers. Mentioned Amba on Birmingham as well, but doesn't

1069
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,919
Speaker 3: sleep on the Damian Washington. I actually comes out number

1070
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,799
Speaker 3: four in that soundarly over opportunity metric.

1071
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 2: I think this Birmingham pass game.

1072
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,719
Speaker 3: In general is being undervalued by the market, and we

1073
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 3: talked about their line too. Really, Birmingham has a team

1074
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 3: betting and fantasy is someone who should target this week

1075
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 3: to try to take advantage of some of that value

1076
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:17,960
Speaker 3: and then just that running back. Remember I mean these

1077
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 3: snaps were changing every single week. The only guys to

1078
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 3: play over half their team snaps last week were Richardson,

1079
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 3: Zach Stacy, Jay Boogie as we as we affectionately call

1080
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 3: him now, Dree Presley, and Dearnest Johnson. With Orlando, you

1081
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 3: need to keep an eye on a Keen Hunt because

1082
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 3: he was out last week for Orlando. Because of that,

1083
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 3: Deanas Johnson played fifty five percent snaps and Debion Smith

1084
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 3: had like fifteen plus touches, so both those guys were

1085
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 3: real involved could be again if a team's out. And

1086
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 3: the one wide receiver that really caught my attention. That's

1087
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 3: on the cheaper side is Kenny Bell because he's had

1088
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 3: now three straight games with at least five targets and

1089
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 3: at least three receptions. He hasn't like I don't think

1090
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 3: he's even gone over forty yards. He hasn't gotten loose yet,

1091
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,960
Speaker 3: but that's still a ton of And he's one of

1092
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 3: only seven wide receivers that play at least eighty five

1093
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 3: percent of of the offensive snaps in Week five, and

1094
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 3: at forty two hundred, he's easily a cheapest because all

1095
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,320
Speaker 3: those other guys are at least five k. So anytime

1096
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 3: you can get a receiver that's barely leaving the field

1097
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 3: for forty two hundred, you got at least have some

1098
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 3: exposure to him.

1099
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, and on the top of a Kinny Bell, one

1100
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 4: thing that's interesting. And so you touched on his recent opportunities,

1101
00:47:23,719 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 4: the targets he scene in his past three games. I

1102
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 4: probably need to start paying a little more attention to

1103
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 4: what's happened recently. So in our rankings, for instance, you

1104
00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 4: have him eleventh, I have him seventeenth, Sean Corner has

1105
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 4: him eighteenth. You're probably more accurate, I think, on that

1106
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 4: ranking than we are because of the opportunity. It's something

1107
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,479
Speaker 4: I probably need to pay attention to a little more.

1108
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 3: So, like I've been including in my DFS article kind

1109
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,479
Speaker 3: of a model that includes both the targets per game

1110
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 3: as well as a snap count from last week. So

1111
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 3: I try to keep those two things in mind, because

1112
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,759
Speaker 3: you know, you see a guy with higher targets but

1113
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 3: lower snaps, I feel like that's not as good of

1114
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 3: a chance to keep going forward. Whereas a guy guy

1115
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 3: like Kenny Bell, where he has both a decent target

1116
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 3: share and a real high snap rate.

1117
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 2: That's what you gotta look at.

1118
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a weird situation where I'm trying not to

1119
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 4: be too reactive to what has recently happened, and I

1120
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 4: want to try to kind of like privilege the larger sample,

1121
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,800
Speaker 4: but like things are so in flux that it probably

1122
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,359
Speaker 4: would be good for me to be a little more

1123
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:30,760
Speaker 4: aggressive in prioritizing what's happened last week, the last two weeks.

1124
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 4: Big picture thoughts on roster construction.

1125
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, so just in general, I mean, again, a lot

1126
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 3: of these salaries are fluctuating a lot from week to week,

1127
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:40,800
Speaker 3: so I think we want to try to avoid investing

1128
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 3: in the guys that have the big time price hikes.

1129
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 3: That's what we do in NFL, it's what we should

1130
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,879
Speaker 3: do in AAF as well. So with that in mind,

1131
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 3: five wide receivers had a salary increase of at least

1132
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 3: five hundred dollars, Michail McKay, Santavius Jones, the morn A Pearson,

1133
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 3: now Bug Howard, and Tobias Palmer. Not saying you need

1134
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 3: to fade all these guys, but just keep in mind.

1135
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:59,919
Speaker 3: I mean they're not nearly as valuable as they were

1136
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 3: last week, and someone like Pearson now where last week

1137
00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 3: to me he was a must play because of his

1138
00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 3: high targets.

1139
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 2: And high snap rate.

1140
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 3: Now his salary is a little bit more reasonable, so

1141
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna feel as obligated to jam him into

1142
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 3: every lineup. And looking ahead the running backs too, terry

1143
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 3: and fulls and massive price increase, I think it's kind

1144
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,360
Speaker 3: of a trap play considering how we've seen that Atlanta

1145
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 3: backfield really have no resemblance of consistency week to week.

1146
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 3: So good on him for having that big game last week,

1147
00:49:26,719 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 3: but I'd like to see another week of him as

1148
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 3: the future guy before thinking that we'll move forward. Jay

1149
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 3: Bugie does seem like the future guy moving forward.

1150
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 2: That's a little bit of a unique situation because.

1151
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,720
Speaker 3: Brandon Oliver got ruled out midweek, So that's a salary

1152
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 3: increase that's warranted, still might be a little low because

1153
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 3: of his high role. And then Bishop SANKEI deanro Johnson,

1154
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 3: debian Smith. We talked about the Orlando guys already in

1155
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 3: terms of whether a Keem Hunt comes back or not.

1156
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 3: Bishop Sanke he was just at the men last week

1157
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 3: and he still doesn't really have a role yet, so

1158
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,720
Speaker 3: we'll see if he's able to take over for Jakwan

1159
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:01,439
Speaker 3: Gardner eventually. Because oh and like one week to kwank

1160
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,959
Speaker 3: Gardener's almost a consensus best running back in the league.

1161
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 3: And I literally said in week three that I didn't

1162
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 3: think he was, and then I changed my mind. I

1163
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 3: think he's had like twenty total rushing yards since then.

1164
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 3: So just another example we need to kind of keep

1165
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 3: in mind that, I guess balancing the season long trends

1166
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 3: versus recent trends, because right now Dakwan Gardner is on

1167
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 3: the way down and Sanky's moving up.

1168
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,399
Speaker 2: But we'll see if that keeps going.

1169
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 4: All right, get on the Sanky train, I'm telling you

1170
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 4: there's plenty of room because no one wants all right,

1171
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 4: In our week six Alliance rankings are on the site.

1172
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:37,560
