Yeah, a little more enjoyable. 15 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 3: All kinds outlets nowadays show today too. Absolutely, you guests 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 3: already in the book that Justin Miller hotline is burning 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 3: up over there on fire. 18 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. Time for the Fantasy football focus here. We'll take 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: a spin around the league here and see who is 20 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: in and who is out among the teams here, who's 21 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 2: practicing who's not. I do have a Ravens practice report 22 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,360 Speaker 2: from today. Finally, and well, no, Kyle Hampton earlier they played. 23 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,279 Speaker 2: They play games with the flow plays game. He'll he'll say, guys, 24 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: you know, guys this or that, and you can't trust him, okay, 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 2: more so than most coaches. Yeah, okay, he lies. Uh, 26 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 2: Kyle Hamilton did not practice with that ankle injury. That's 27 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: the one to watch, and so you want to keep 28 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: an eye. We did that talking pretty extensively in the 29 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: first segment. And fantastic football player that does a lot 30 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 2: for that defense. And I mean I cited the numbers. 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: I mean the past attempt numbers are crazy. Whenever he's 32 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 2: not on the field, Isaiah likely with the hamstring a 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 2: limited participant. He did not play last Thursday night against 34 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: the Bengals, so we'll see if he's able to get back. 35 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: And again that limited designation doesn't have the same meaning 36 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: that it used to. That could mean he was just 37 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: working with trainers on the side. 38 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 3: Well, since this is a fantasy segment, that definitely helps Andrews. 39 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: I mean, Andrews production has been really good lately. I 40 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: think he's over like the car accident and things, but 41 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 3: likely not being on the field spikes his route participation 42 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 3: and snaps and all that stuff too. 43 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: What will be interesting about that is something we talked 44 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 2: about earlier in the week. If likely it plays, obviously 45 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 2: Andrews is going to play, but they want to have 46 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 2: Charlie Kohler on the field to help block DJ Watt. Yeah. Yeah, 47 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 2: So if you are they going to play thirteen a lot, 48 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: it's hard. 49 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean, because Ricard's gonna play quite 50 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 3: a bit as well. He always does. I mean, he 51 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 3: could line up on Watt's side as well, but I 52 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 3: would think Cohler is the best Watt helper. Teams attack 53 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 3: the Steelers out of eleven though the most right now, 54 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: the Ravens have three receivers that are worse in the field, 55 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 3: although Deontas still has only run like seven routes in 56 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 3: Raven's uniform. So I don't know that's a big thing 57 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 3: for me, is I just think they have a very 58 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 3: skill position offensive packages. 59 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 2: You know. 60 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll throw a six offensive linemen on the field too. 61 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: I figured this one out today. They have five different 62 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 2: players with twenty four more catches this year. Okay, they 63 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 2: also have ten different players who have caught touchdown passes. Wow. 64 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 3: I mean they score a lot of touchdowns and they 65 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 3: do a lot of good things. 66 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: On the offense. But they've only had eleven guys catch 67 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 2: passes for them this year. Ten of them have scored, 68 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: and Henry scores every game. Yeah, so anyways, let's get 69 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 2: onto the fantasy football. That's the end of their injury stuff. Yeah, OK, 70 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: that's it. Kyle van NEI missed practice today, but it 71 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: was because of an illness. Okay, so we'll see where 72 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: that goes. You know, trust him, he's sick. Can he 73 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: get Lamar sick? Because Lamar misses several practices a year 74 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: because of illness. He does seem to get sick a lot, 75 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: but which is strange. Wonder if he's wasn't vaccinated as 76 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: a child. I don't know, but it always seems to 77 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 2: come up with him. Yeah, he gets sick a lot. 78 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: Jordan Love Packers are back on the field today after 79 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: being off last week. Well, he got a full practice 80 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: in today, which is good to. 81 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 3: Be expected day till they kind of thought, which I 82 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 3: would heal them enough? 83 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: Uh? Jay r Alexander limited on Wednesday for the Packers. 84 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: However, Hey the Bears this week? Yes, I think so, Yes, 85 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:14,559 Speaker 3: I think they're on a steamer. 86 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 2: Le Hunter Henry with the foot issue limited on practice 87 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 2: Wednesday for the Patriots. 88 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, Hooper did some stuff. Hooper Man was back here. 89 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: Yeah and instead. I mean it doesn't sound like much, 90 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: but they need him. I mean their pass cutchers are yeah. 91 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: Really bad. Uh, Tyler Algaeer with a quad limited on Wednesday, Okay, 92 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: I mean you're firing up b Johnny. 93 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 3: The way be has been great, but it could even greater. 94 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: I mean he could get a little bit bigger slice 95 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 3: of the pie, especially coming off a loss. 96 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 2: Drake London still dealing with that hip issue that happened 97 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. We played through it last 98 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: week and did quite well. And uh, he practiced in 99 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: full today. He could get the Patricks certain Yeah, it's 100 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 2: not a great mattress for him. I'm sure he will, 101 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 2: although they'll bump him into the slots some to kind 102 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,360 Speaker 2: of free him up. Darnell Mooney might end up seeing 103 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: Mooney's had a good year. Yeah, it might end up 104 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: seeing more because he doesn't go to the slot, and 105 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 2: that's just something to keep an eye on there. London. 106 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: Maybe they move London into the slot and then Mooney 107 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 2: gets a certain treatment. Yeah. Maybe. Maybe Kirk Cousins with 108 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: the shoulder elbow issues. Limited in practice on Wednesday, Okay, 109 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: with something to pay attention there, especially in his age. 110 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: Dallas Goddard with that ankle injury off of Thursday's injury report. 111 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's I mean he played the week, 112 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: but yeah, I didn't know if they'd be precautionary this 113 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:35,839 Speaker 3: week or not. 114 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 2: Davonte Smith, he's good to go with that hamstring issue, 115 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 2: so fire him up. Those are all playing tomorrow. Brian 116 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: Robinson with that ham string is good to go on Thursday. Okay. 117 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 3: I did see Lattimore is not going to still play 118 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 3: for them this week, you know. So it's pretty good 119 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 3: for a j. Brown and Smith and that's gonna be 120 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 3: a fun game. Yeah, it's a good one. 121 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 2: Trent Willilliams has ankle and risked issues and is not 122 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 2: practicing on Wednesday. When he doesn't play for the San 123 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers, their offensive numbers take a big hit. 124 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 3: Oh, it's like the Hamilton stuff we have brought up 125 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: for when Watt miss his time. I mean, he is 126 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 3: so important to them. 127 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: So keeping on that and ankle. The ankle and wrist 128 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: aren't connected, no, not at all. It's actually two different 129 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 2: things there for him. So that's definitely worth noting him. 130 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: And he's an older guy. He's an older guy. Yeah, 131 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: I mean it's only Wednesday. 132 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 3: I'm sure they're going to be super precautionary with him, 133 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 3: but steve an eye out. 134 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey limited practice on Wednesday. I think that's probably 135 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: going to be think what he does of the year. Yeah. Yeah, 136 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: but Nick Boso, with a hip issue, did not practice 137 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 2: on Wednesday. 138 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 3: McCaffrey played a high nuber percentage of the snaps. Yeah, 139 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 3: more than I thought he would. 140 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 2: More than I thought he would do. Bosa is a 141 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: huge deal obviously. George Kittle with a hamstring not practicing 142 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 2: on wedd a year, No, this is new okay, Yeah, okay, 143 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 2: So that's that's definitely worth keeping an eye on. I mean, 144 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: he's one of the best tight ends in fantasy this yere. Yeah, 145 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: if he doesn't play, that's a huge hit, huge hit. 146 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 2: There's all the biggest, biggest name guys on the Niners team. 147 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 2: Michael Pittman a full practice participant on Wednesday, but they're 148 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,559 Speaker 2: going back to Anthony Richardson. Yeah. 149 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: I thought they were considering putting Pittman on IR so 150 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 3: maybe he's doing a little bit better, Maybe just needed 151 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 3: one week off. Yeah, they are going back to Richardson, 152 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: which I think is the right move for the Colts organizationally, 153 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: top to bottom. 154 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: But that also means they're probably out of the playoff 155 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: picture in the AFC. I tend to agree. 156 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: I think it hurts Downs the most. Yeah, Yeah, helps Pierce, 157 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 3: helps Pierce on the bombs. Yeah, but yeah, DK Metcalf 158 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 3: with a knee issue limited on Wednesday. That's a good 159 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 3: sign for him coming back, right, Yeah, he's coming off 160 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: of bye. He had knee injury, so we'll see where 161 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 3: that goes with him. Curtis Samuel with a peck and foot, 162 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 3: practiced in full on Wednesday. 163 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 2: He's always got something. 164 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 3: There's always got something. Yeah, how about the big game 165 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 3: this last week? 166 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 2: Didn't he Their receivers are hard to keep track of them. 167 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I Knowaid's got a little something wrong with them too. 168 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 2: Matt Collins had did some stuff and I think too, Okay. 169 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy underwent a second surgery this week on his knee. 170 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 2: Apparently there was some some swelling or uh infection in there. 171 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: He had a surgery for a torm moniscus. You don't 172 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: like that having to go back in in November. 173 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, I mean, so he can be ready for 174 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: mini camps and training camps. And I think there's we 175 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 3: had this conversation yesterday, but I don't think Darnold will 176 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 3: be a Viking next year. Yeah, I mean, I think 177 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 3: they're counting him to be the guy, and he needs 178 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 3: all the reps he can get. 179 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 2: Sam Laporter with the shoulder injury not practicing on Wednesday, 180 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 2: it's an ac joint spreing. They're playing the Jaguars. They 181 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 2: might just hold him out. 182 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. 183 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: I'm sure that they're like thirteen and a half point 184 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 3: dog their favorites. 185 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and there's there's no tight end on their roster 186 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: that you go, oh, just pick this guy up. They 187 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 2: haven't even used well, no, they haven't even used Laporta much. 188 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 2: They had the Porter's a borderline fantasy starter, which is crazy. 189 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: He was like the number one tight end in the 190 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,560 Speaker 2: league coming into this season. 191 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 3: He was a little touchdown dependent last year, but he 192 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 3: also passed the eye test. 193 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: He look yeah, he looked great. Even this year he's 194 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 2: looked fine. But they just don't throw in the football. 195 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 3: I was a injury aside. I still kind of think 196 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 3: he's a by low. He made the second half of 197 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 3: the season might be strong for him. 198 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: Austin Cybert is out for a Week eleven with the 199 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 2: Washington Commanders. It would be Zang Gonzalez kicking for them 200 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: in this game against the Eagles. And that's really fantasy 201 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: significant because Cybert was leading the league and still is 202 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: in field goal attempts and makes. Because Boswell didn't have 203 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 2: any last week. 204 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 3: Good Eagles defense too, Maybe they, you know, bottle him 205 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 3: up in the red zone. Gonzalez wouldn't be a bad 206 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 3: kicker streamer, if that's what you're into. The float your boat, 207 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: you know. 208 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 2: Isaiah Pacheco will resume practicing, but it's unlikely to play 209 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: a week eleven. Well, no kidding, Yeah, so they're just 210 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: opening his twenty one day window, Okay. Juju Smith Schuster 211 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: has a good chance to play in Week eleven. I 212 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 2: think he's dropped. Well anybody noticed. 213 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think now that Hopkins is there and Kelsey's involvement, 214 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 3: that Juju doesn't play much. 215 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: Michael Mayer, remember he's been out for most of the 216 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: season with a personal issue. He returned to practice, uh 217 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: this week now. I don't know if he plays this week, 218 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 2: but they could use another pass catcher out for a while. Yeah, 219 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: he was. He didn't play against the Steelers. 220 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 3: No, I was thinking he was injured. I forgot it 221 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: was a personal man. It was a personal issue, something serious. 222 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely. And he's a good player. No, he's a 223 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 2: good player. 224 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 3: They need all the help they can get too, But 225 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 3: I don't think he's fantasy relevant. 226 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: And with Bowers there ever, I think he could be. 227 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 2: I want to see it. I want to see it 228 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: because I expect them to play a lot of twelve. 229 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: I'm sure they will. Yeah. Yeah, because he's he's one 230 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 2: of their best eleven. Yes, yes, and they knew that 231 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: when they drafted about Yeah, you know right. It was 232 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: a knock on him. He was actually a good pass 233 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 2: catcher for them last year. 234 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 3: It also looks like they're going back to Minshew, Yeah, 235 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 3: which I think is a good news if you have 236 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 3: Myers or Bowers, you know. 237 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, Ritter's not gonna get it done. 238 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 4: No. 239 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid not practicing today. Okay, keep an eye out. 240 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 2: He's been a little disappointing to him and he's not 241 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 2: the Laporter's level of disappointment because you but the expectation 242 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: was that he would be a top five or six tesday. 243 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: He was definitely my top five on fantasy draft. Dingy. Yeah, 244 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 2: like a McBride neighborhood. You know. Amari Cooper with that 245 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 2: wrist injury limited in practice on Wednesday. 246 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 3: Okay, they get the Chiefs. I mean it's a big one. 247 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 3: It's a big one. You'd like to see Cooper get 248 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: in there. 249 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 4: Uh. 250 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 2: DeVante Adams with an illness and wrist issue not practicing Wednesday. 251 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 2: He hasn't been fantasy relevants one. Yeah. Like I just 252 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 2: peeked in it last week while they were playing when 253 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 2: the Steelers were playing, Like what's what's that? Like? I'm 254 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: looking at how the Jets only have like six points 255 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 2: at that point, and I'm like, nobody's doing anything. And 256 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: I think Adams at that point was like targets are 257 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 2: no catches. I think Wilson's a better player. Yeah, I 258 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 2: just don't. I think so much of the Adams and 259 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 2: Rogers thing was I don't want to say off script, 260 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 2: but how many times did you see them hook up 261 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 2: on back shoulder throws and oh yeah, timing stuff and 262 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 2: knowledge or one and the timing is not there. 263 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of that. I don't think 264 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 3: he's lost a step or anything. I think he's a 265 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 3: tremendous player. I mean I said that about Wilson. It 266 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 3: was more of a compliment to Wilson. I just think 267 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 3: there's somewhat of a dysfunctional organization. 268 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a lot of it. Yeah, Mac 269 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 2: Jones will get to start again in week eleven. Trevor 270 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: Lawrence with that shoulder injury, will not play for the Jaguars. 271 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 2: Does that hurt Evan Ingram, hurts everybody? Yeah? 272 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 3: I mean again, they're like thirteen point dogs. I don't 273 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: see a lot of points coming. I'm not sure Lawrence 274 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 3: plays again this year. That sure feels like a coach 275 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:55,439 Speaker 3: gets fired. 276 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 2: On Monday type of game. We've been saying that for 277 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 2: a week. I said that when they were they're thirteen 278 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 2: point underdogs this week, and you're going to fire them 279 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 2: after they they lose by seventeen. 280 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 3: I say, if it could be a forty to three 281 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: game though, Yeah, you know, but they're just running all 282 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 3: over you. 283 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: The Carolina Panthers activated Adam Thielen off of r Yeah. 284 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 3: That doesn't really move the needle for me. But I 285 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: mean that offense is starting to show some signs of life. 286 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they're they're on the by this week. 287 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 2: You know, maybe he gets back when they come back, 288 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 2: and just somebody to keep an eye on. I mean, 289 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 2: he's much different than the young guys are playing. He 290 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 2: caught a hundred balls last year in offense, like that 291 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 2: could happen again. Let's see here. It kind of looks 292 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 2: like it in terms of yeah, that's kind of it 293 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 2: for the injury stuff there this week. But as we mentioned, 294 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: a couple quarterback itch issues that are you're gonna have 295 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 2: Mac Jones again this week. Culture changing, the culture changing 296 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: with some effects there. Oh that's a mass district, much different. Yeah, 297 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 2: it doesn't kill Josh Down's value, but doesn't help it. 298 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 3: So everyone probably remembers I was in love with richardson 299 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 3: pre draft, you know, but pre fantasy draft. 300 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 2: They need to run them. 301 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 3: I mean, like, if you're gonna put him back in there, 302 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 3: they're in such a catch twenty two because he never 303 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 3: finishes games. You know, that was a problem last year. 304 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: So I'm sure ownership said we're gonna limit your running, 305 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 3: but if you're not completing passes. 306 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 2: Stuff to play a quarterback, right, but. 307 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 3: I mean he can explode fantasy wise, I mean because 308 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 3: of the rushing. It's the cheat code. But they're not 309 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 3: doing that. I wonder if they're going to reevaluate those things. 310 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I mean, he's a guy he started 311 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 2: one year in high school quarterback, right, he started to 312 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 2: play one year in college at quarterback. And you know 313 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 2: it's very Trey Lance like exactly. I mean that's the 314 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 2: path he's on, right, yeah, right, but he needs to play. Yeah, 315 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 2: but I'm with you. I think they're out of the playoff 316 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: race though. Yeah, I think that kind of pushes them aside. 317 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 3: And Flacco wasn't great either, No, especially he was good 318 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: against Steelers, and then it seemed like every game was 319 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 3: a little worse, a little worse. 320 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 2: And you know, yeah, you're thirty nine. You know you 321 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 2: keep getting hit. You know, the body just doesn't recover 322 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: quite as well. 323 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: I bet we've seen the last dam two. I mean, 324 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 3: he was on the couch last year. I don't know 325 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 3: if he'll come back and play football next year. 326 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, probably not, But let's get to a break. He 327 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 2: is the Matt Williamson. I am Dale, Lolly, You're listening 328 00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 2: to the drive here on the Steelers Audio Network that 329 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 2: is going to do it for the Fantasy Football focus 330 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: Matt and I will be back with more right after this. 331 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 2: At least. 332 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: He's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on 333 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven Home of the Black and 334 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: Gold cast in Steelers Nation Radio. 335 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 2: And we are back. I'm Dale Lolli. He is the 336 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and this is the Drive on the Steelers 337 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: Audio Network. And Matt, we often go to the thirty 338 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 2: third team for some interesting stuff here and Ian Valentino, 339 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 2: who's one of the draft analysts and all that kind 340 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 2: of stuff. Yeah, yeah, he ranked the top ten or 341 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 2: top twenty five wide receivers in the league through ten 342 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 2: weeks of this season. Okay, and it's an interesting list. 343 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 2: There's some names on here that I wouldn't have expected 344 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: to see on here, and I don't know that he's right, 345 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: but let's go about through it. Let's have that discussion. 346 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 3: So at number twenty, hope there's a Steeler on there, 347 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 3: and I bet there's a Raven on there. 348 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. At number twenty five, he has Chris A Lavae 349 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: of the Saints. 350 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 3: It'll be a tough one to rank, but I do 351 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 3: think he's one of the best twenty five receivers walking 352 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 3: the planet right now. 353 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 2: You know, at number twenty four he has our guy, 354 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,000 Speaker 2: Lad McConkie of the Chargers. 355 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 3: Wow, I mean this is a tough list. I mean, 356 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 3: twenty five is not many. I mean, just think about 357 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 3: Fantasy football. The top thirty six. Yeah, pretty strong. I 358 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: mean I'm not sure if I had have mconukey in 359 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 3: the top twenty five yet. I mean, that's a top list. 360 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 3: That's a tough one to craft. 361 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. At twenty three he has Alec Pierce of the Colts. 362 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 2: I would disagree with that strong. I think he's the 363 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: fourth best receiver on his team. Yeah, I mean, I 364 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 2: think Mitchell is a better player and he's going to 365 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 2: eat into his playing time. Pittman hasn't been himself, but 366 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 2: Pittman went right and downs are better than he is. 367 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 2: Just because the quarterback is not throwing the football right 368 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: to Pittman doesn't mean he's not the guy that you 369 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 2: try to stop or downs for that matter, right, Yeah, 370 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: I don't see that with Peers. At twenty two, Jackson 371 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 2: Smith and Jigbo with the Seahawks might. 372 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: Be a little worldly for him too. I mean, but 373 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 3: I think he's definitely trending that direction. 374 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's on pace to catch almost one 375 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:34,959 Speaker 2: hundred passes. He's had a couple of big games. I 376 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 2: like him a lot at twenty one. Devonte Smith from 377 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 2: the Eagles, quality player, no question. At twenty a mon 378 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 2: Ross Saint Brown all the way down at twenty really low. 379 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think he'd be in my top five, 380 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 3: but the top five is elite at that position, he'd 381 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 3: be my top ten. 382 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 2: He's catching eighty one point eight percent of his targets. 383 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 3: I'd say, I don't think Goff has like hardly any 384 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,439 Speaker 3: incompletions when targeting it. Yeah, I know there was a 385 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 3: streak going into last year. 386 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 2: Crazy. Yeah, eighty one point eight that's I mean, they're 387 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 2: not I mean, that's too low. They're not deep shots, 388 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: but they're still certainly but he's physical. Yeah, you know, 389 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 2: got some hinds award to his game. Yeah. Absolutely. At 390 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 2: nineteen Courtland Sutton with the Broncos. 391 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 3: He wouldn't be in my top twenty five. I think 392 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 3: he's a high, high end number two complimentary piece. Yeah, 393 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 3: that's getting featured. 394 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 2: There at eighteen Marvin Harrison Junior with the Cardinals. Too early, 395 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 2: that's yeah, he's not there yet. He's not there yet. No, 396 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 2: too early. At seventeen DK Metcalf with the Seahawks. 397 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 3: That sounds about right. He's a certain type of receiver, obviously, 398 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 3: but sure at sixteen. I would love to talk to 399 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 3: Ian about this list. There's a couple of suspect ones already. 400 00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 2: None more suspect than this. Rashad Bateman of the Ravens. Wow. 401 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 2: Better than DK Metcalf, Wow, better than Aman Ross Saint Brown. 402 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 2: All right, he's having an okay season. They're happy with him, 403 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 2: you know he was, are they? Because they traded for 404 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 2: Deonte Johnson a couple of weeks ago. Haven't used him yet. No, 405 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 2: but they didn't do that because they love for Shaw Bateman. 406 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 2: Sure he should not be anywhere close to this list. 407 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 2: Sixteenth best receiver in the league, Come on, man. Yeah, 408 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: and I like Bateman. I think he's a quality starter. Yeah, 409 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 2: but he's not one of the top twenty five. Fifteen 410 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 2: Chris Godwin, Yeah, a really good year. Yeah, Fortunately it's 411 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 2: over right. Fourteen Darnell Mooney with the Falcons. No, also 412 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 2: having a really good year. Really good year. Always as single, 413 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: you know, I mean he's a complimentary piece. There's a 414 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 2: lot of guys that drive the bus at this position 415 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 2: that you're not the complimentary piece guy. Yeah, scheme up 416 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 2: or you know thirteen Brian Thomas junior with the Jaguars 417 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 2: too soon. But he's I think he's had a better 418 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: year than maconkiy or Harrison twelve. George Pickens. Wow, I 419 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 2: think that's fair. Yeah, I think that's fair. That's what 420 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 2: he would put him over a Metcalf I would. I'd 421 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 2: have say Brown ahead of them. If you look at 422 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 2: his numbers right now, I don't think the numbers tell 423 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 2: the story, but the numbers are telling. He's on pace 424 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 2: right now for seventy five catches for twelve hundred and 425 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 2: seven yards and four touchdowns with Russell Wilson at quarterback 426 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 2: over the last three games fourteen catches for two hundred 427 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 2: and seventy six yards and two touchdowns. If you extrapolate 428 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 2: that over the course of a seventeen game season, it 429 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 2: would be seventy nine catches. So the catches aren't different, No, 430 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 2: they're not. It's it's the depth of target and all 431 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 2: the word fifteen hundred and sixty four yards and eleven touchdowns. Yeah, 432 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty crazy, a stark difference, you know how. 433 00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of yards per out run. 434 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, for the whole season, justin Jefferson's only want ahead 435 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 3: of them. 436 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 2: Pretty good. Yeah, it's a good company to keep. Yeah. No, 437 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 2: he's a he's a budding star. Yes, he is. This 438 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 2: is twelve. If we were doing a fantasy segment, that 439 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 2: would be a wide receiver one territory. 440 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: He's also third in yards per reception. I filtered everyone 441 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 3: with fifty targets or more. Yeah, that's fifty receivers. He's 442 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,840 Speaker 3: the top list in many categy. 443 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: And I think even that. I mean, and if you 444 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 2: look at Mike Clay's as we did earlier in the week, 445 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 2: we looked at Mike Clay's fantasy chart. Yeah, in terms 446 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 2: of matchups, the matchups they faced the rest of the 447 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 2: way are the worst in the best in the league. 448 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 2: If you're best for that's for pickens for opposing wide receivers. 449 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: Because you got Baltimore twice, yeah, which is terrible Hastens 450 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 2: he got Cincinnati. Philadelphia has not been great overall, and 451 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 2: that's enough right in itself. 452 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you're not certained in Terrell and those guys 453 00:21:58,880 --> 00:21:59,919 Speaker 3: had some tough ones early on. 454 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, so should. 455 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 3: I also think it's very noteworthy that I bet he's 456 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,119 Speaker 3: the top of the league in defensive pass interference yardage, 457 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 3: certainly touchdowns called back, you know, things like that that. 458 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 3: I mean, there's a site Fantasy Points that I check out. 459 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 3: They call us expected points or expected Fantasy points, and 460 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 3: he's the one that should have he had the most 461 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 3: taken away from. 462 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 2: Him, you know, yeah, which makes sense absolutely, And yeah, 463 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 2: I mean I think, uh. 464 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 3: He's a real breakout player. He is a I mean 465 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 3: he's always flashed, but now he's becoming a. 466 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 2: Star, very consistent. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think 467 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: his over under on touchdown catches this year was four 468 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 2: and a half. Wow, and he didn't have one in 469 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 2: the first seven game. The first six games of the season. 470 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 2: He is the most end zone targets in the league. 471 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 2: He's gonna double that total for the seasons over. He 472 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 2: might have three touchdown catches on Sunday. 473 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 3: I don't know if he's gonna go Jamar Chase on them, 474 00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:00,360 Speaker 3: but we're going to be very attentive to his The f. 475 00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 2: I guarantee if we were doing Raven's Nation Radio this week, 476 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: be like, all right, how is how are the Ravens 477 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: stopping George Pickens. 478 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's gotten to that point, so I think 479 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 3: that's where he belongs on the list and probably going 480 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 3: up at eleven list. 481 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough list to crack. Well not for some baben. 482 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 2: We haven't even seen the whole thing yet. We'll get 483 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 2: to that. Who he left off for here at eleven 484 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 2: is Drake London. I agree. I think he's a really 485 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 2: really good player too. Yeah. 486 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 3: Ten, it's a good draft class of receivers. Molik Neighbors. 487 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 3: That might be a little high for it's a little high, 488 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 3: but he's not better than George Pickens or or London. 489 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 3: But he should be on the list. I mean, he's 490 00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: my favorite rookie thus far. He's probably the only rookie 491 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 3: i'd have on the list. 492 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 2: At nine. Jayden Reid. I love Jayden Reed. Right, he's 493 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 2: a very good young player. But he's got thirty six 494 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 2: catches in three touchdowns this season. 495 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 3: Come on, man, and I think he's the best of 496 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 3: the Packers receiver is in a situation. 497 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's not the ninth best receiver in the league. 498 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 4: No. No. 499 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 2: At eight, A J. Brown ot of him higher? He 500 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 2: might be top three or four at seven. Nico Collins 501 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 2: had the best year of anyone. Yeah, I'm there with him. 502 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 2: Six is Garrett Wilson. Five Jay Flowers? No, a good player. 503 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 2: Does Ian live in Baltimore? Right? They have the best 504 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 2: pair of receivers clearly in his mind, you know, better 505 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 2: than better than Philadelphia? Right man? And I'm sure Evans 506 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 2: isn't gonna get mentioned. But yeah, Evans doesn't getting mentioned. 507 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 2: Come on, I would. I don't know the problem with 508 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 2: him being in the top twenty five. No, I don't either. 509 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 2: Zave Flowers is a great. 510 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 3: Player, he really is. He's great after the catch. He's 511 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 3: going to be a problem, you know. But he's part 512 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:52,640 Speaker 3: of a great offense. 513 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 2: But he's not. He's not. He's no more the fifth 514 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 2: best wide receiver in the league than Rashad Bateman is 515 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 2: the sixteenth best. No, right, I mean he must live 516 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: in Baltimore or I don't get that at all. No, 517 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 2: come on for ceed Lamb. Yeah, to no fault of 518 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 2: his own. 519 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 3: His numbers are down a little, but yeah, and they're 520 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 3: gonna continue to drop probably. 521 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 2: But three is Terry McLaurin. He's having an awesome season. 522 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 3: Really dug in him of course last week, and he's 523 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 3: benefiting from having a legit quarterback. 524 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's still too high. I mean it's still too 525 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 2: So this does tell me DC Baltimore area. I got 526 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 2: I guarantee he does. If he was nine or ten, 527 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: I would be like, I have no issue. That's cool. 528 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's who always played two is Justin Jefferson. Okay, 529 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 3: I mean I have no problem with him not being one, 530 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 3: but it only leaves Chase or Tyreek Hill. 531 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill did not make the list, which means somebody's 532 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 2: not on the list. Right. It hasn't been his finest year. No, 533 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: he's not their fault, right, I mean if basically without 534 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 2: a quarterback for half the season. 535 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 3: Right, I mean I think going into the year, I 536 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 3: thought Tyreek or Hill was the best receiver in Tody 537 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 3: four Hill or Jefferson. So you're saying what you're saying, 538 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 3: and actually he was my vote. I mean we I 539 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 3: did on my own list, and I am one a 540 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 3: Jefferson two. 541 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 2: He's no different now, Yeah, I'm just looking at his 542 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 2: bio here Ian no offense man, you are this. You 543 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 2: need to Pierce Pierson. Bateman don't belong the list. Pierson. 544 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 2: Guys should not be in the top twenty five, the 545 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: top twenty five. I mean, come on, and what he 546 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 2: Jamar Chase one? Yeah, I get that too, I get it. 547 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 2: I mean again, I'm not gonna went off last week. Yeah, yeah, 548 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 2: not something put them? I mean, but come on. 549 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 3: I mean, there's some names that are not listed that 550 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: are really really I mean, Debo and I you can. 551 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 2: Are you sure? And I get it, I get it right. 552 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 3: But I'm just talking about names that are like clearly 553 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 3: better than Bateman, Makua and co Steve Bateman might be 554 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 3: more j Moore relevant on that list, Amari Cooper. 555 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 2: And there's a lot of efforts for you. Yeah, Jason 556 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 2: Bateman has been more relevant, Yes, in the last five years. 557 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,960 Speaker 2: Jason's sister for those that don't know. Yeah, I just 558 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 2: want to take a look here. So we're going to 559 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 2: roll through the leading receivers in the league right now. 560 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: How do you want to do? A yardage or a reception? 561 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, all right, We'll go yardage. Chase is one, 562 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson two, McLaurin is three. Did he just go 563 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 2: off this list. Garrett Wilson is four. Now Garrett Wilson 564 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 2: already has one hundred targets this year. Yea, he was 565 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 2: leading the league in target and he still does by 566 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:50,000 Speaker 2: a wide margin, even with Adam showing up Flowers trade 567 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 2: form in our league. I saw that, Yeah, just in 568 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:58,439 Speaker 2: time to play me this week. Jay Flowers is five, 569 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney is six, Ceedee Lamba is seven, Drake London 570 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 2: is eight, George Pickens is nine. His list isn't much 571 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 2: different than this list. Jayden Reed is ten. Uh huh 572 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 2: uh huh. Brian Thomas is eleven. Molik Neighbors tied for 573 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 2: eleventh with six hundred and seven miss two games. He 574 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:23,199 Speaker 2: missed two games. Chris Godwin is fourteenth. Cortland Sutton is fifteenth. 575 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,520 Speaker 2: This is all he did right as they moved him 576 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 2: a little. Yeah. DK Metcalf is sixteenth, tied actually with 577 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 2: Jackson Smith and Jigbo. But Dk Metcalf has missed two games. 578 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 2: Nico Collins still eighteenth. At least he bumped Nico up 579 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 2: to and he's missed right four or five games. 580 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 4: A J. 581 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 2: Brown's another one that he AJ Brown's won that he 582 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,840 Speaker 2: bumped up Khalis Shakir, it's twenty second. I mean he's 583 00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 2: better than some dudes on the list. Khalios Shakir has 584 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 2: forty eight catches on fifty four targets. Think about that. 585 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 3: Like if he was a stealer, we'd love him. Oh yeah, 586 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like I like his style game. 587 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 3: I mean he's not a true one, but he's better 588 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,520 Speaker 3: than Bateman or Peers. 589 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: A mon Ross Saint Brown is twenty third, Pierce is 590 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: twenty fourth. This is all he did, That's what happened. 591 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 2: Bateman is twenty fifth. Yeah, he described those the exact 592 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 2: same twenty five names. H Marvin Harrison is twenty sixth. Okay, 593 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 2: so pretty darn close close. I mean Juwan Jennings in 594 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 2: seven games is Fournite ninety seven yards and then he 595 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,640 Speaker 2: should probably be four Yeah, he should. Lad McConkie is 596 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 2: the last guy on there. He's thirtieth with fourty the 597 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 2: last one, but he DeVante Smith is thirty first, but 598 00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 2: he missed a game. 599 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 3: I mean, I understand not having like An Evans on 600 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 3: there or the injured dudes if you're just going to 601 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 3: talk about where they're at now, But that doesn't mean 602 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 3: that there are any worse. 603 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 2: But he did have guys like Chris Goblin on there. 604 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, who's out for the year. Nico missed a 605 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 3: big stratch. Yeah, you know, just weird, Yeah, weird. 606 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 607 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 3: I like doing lists just talking through him, and people 608 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 3: could criticize mine too, but that one's on so great. 609 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just looking the names on here aren't the 610 00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 2: names that you typically see though. Oh, like the Adante 611 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 2: Adams right now has four hundred and fifteen receiving yards. 612 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 2: Jacoby Myers has more receiving yards right now, I mean Adam. Yeah, 613 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 2: he's still a good football player. Yeah, yeah, like that's 614 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 2: all we're judging. If all we're doing is going through 615 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,480 Speaker 2: the yardage, like I could have done that. Yeah, yeah, 616 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 2: we just did it. The Chris Lave is fiftieth. I 617 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 2: don't know how he made the list ranked fiftieth, and 618 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 2: you passed over some of these other guys. You passed 619 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 2: over the Josh Downs of the Tyree Hill take Pierce 620 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 2: Over Downs, I don't get it. Yeah, it makes big plays. 621 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, but if we just did a list of who 622 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 3: do we want to line up against? The Ravens with 623 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 3: opposite pickens on their best you know, and including Evans 624 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,280 Speaker 3: and the hurt guys, that list would be a lot 625 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 3: different than that. 626 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I didn't realize that Trey McBride has not scored 627 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 2: this season. Oh really, I didn't either a great year. 628 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 2: His zero there in the touchdown just sticks out like 629 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 2: a sort of the leading receiver amongst tight ends. Uh No, 630 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 2: you like to use the amongst words? Are you at it? 631 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 2: My stuff? Your stuff? I always take the amongst out? 632 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 2: What is he? What are your place with it? Among 633 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: Why do we need amongst? Okay, that's this isn't like 634 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 2: seventeen hundred England? What was the word that will protests 635 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 2: so greatly? Maybe I'll get rid of the st on 636 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 2: a couple of them before I send them in to 637 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,240 Speaker 2: you tonight. Keep me on my toes. Actually, the leader 638 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: in reception or receiving yards for tight ends is none 639 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 2: other than brock Bowers. Ah, that ends up. 640 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 3: Okay, I was thinking somebody that wouldn't been on a 641 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 3: buy yet. But still he's the volumes. 642 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 2: Yeah that five hundred and eighty receiving yards, and even 643 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,920 Speaker 2: at that, he's only got two touchdowns. 644 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 3: So yeah, they're a bad team too. Yeah, just a 645 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 3: little interesting thing there, sure, it's a good discussion. Yeah, 646 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 3: I agree with the list. 647 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,719 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson. We got a little real real quickly here 648 00:31:55,880 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 2: right now. Lamar Jackson leads the NFL and passer on 649 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 2: twenty three point two. That would be a record, It 650 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 2: would be the best ever. If that keeps it up right, 651 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 2: it's nuts. Second is Joe Burrow one o eight point one. 652 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 2: Third is Russell Wilson at one oh five point nine. 653 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 2: What are the Browns doing? Like all we heard all 654 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 2: O the Steelers are gonna have I hear for three 655 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 2: years now, Steelers have the worst quarterback situation in the 656 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:21,480 Speaker 2: AFC North. 657 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, maybe not, maybe not, I mean definitely not 658 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 3: definitely not definitely not right right, I mean I would 659 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 3: take fields over there, guys. 660 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jackson and Burrow are having ridiculous ridiculous I almost 661 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 2: feel bad for Burrow. I mean, like him and Chase 662 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 2: are putting the team on their back. Yeah. Russell Wilson's 663 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: right there with them. Absolutely. 664 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 3: You'll see amongst quarterbacks played three or more games, he's 665 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 3: a top a list in a lot of categories. 666 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 2: Yeah. So just a little aside there with folks. When 667 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 2: we were when we were talking about what Russell Wilson 668 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 2: could be this is this is again, I don't want 669 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 2: to continue to beat this horse, but but this is 670 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 2: what we saw in OTAs, this is what we saw 671 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 2: in training camp when he was out there, and I'm. 672 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 3: Trying to find it because it's another one. It's like Lamar, 673 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 3: it's okay since he is twenty two games in a 674 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,960 Speaker 3: row with a touchdown pass even though he was sat 675 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 3: down for the last two games last year. In which 676 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 3: he's played, which he's played, which he's played, and Lamar's 677 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 3: second was seventeen. He's got a thirty two to nine 678 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 3: TDed interception ratio since it started last year. The only 679 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 3: ones better is Lamar, who's got forty eight to night. 680 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean like that's who he's hanging with. And 681 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 2: this is this is why you make that move if 682 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 2: you're Mike Tomlins, so you can compete with the Lamar 683 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 2: Jacksons and the Joe Burrows. 684 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I frankly, I hope we see fields in 685 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 3: this game. But you said it when when it was made, 686 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 3: like the Ravens are your biggest rival, You're the biggest 687 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,840 Speaker 3: competition for the division, and they can't step the pass. 688 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,160 Speaker 3: You know, give me my best passer. Yeah, George Pickens 689 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,120 Speaker 3: could just go nuts in this good And I know 690 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 3: we're out of the fantasy segment, but if you start 691 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 3: Russell Wilson, I don't think you'll be unhappy. 692 00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,200 Speaker 2: No throw a touchdown passes. Yeah, I'll be interested to 693 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 2: see what the over under his own DraftKings in terms 694 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,279 Speaker 2: of his passing yards yeah in this game. Yeah, or 695 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 2: passing touchdowns. I mean all the metrics. Yeah, just horrendous 696 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: against the pass. But we got to get to a break. 697 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lolly.

Your 717 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:37,000 Speaker 2: relationship with him, guy, You guys have both talked about 718 00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,040 Speaker 2: that a lot. When did that exactly come to pass? 719 00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:44,359 Speaker 2: And how did they come to pass? Do you mean terms? Well, 720 00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 2: you guys said you texted back and forth even when 721 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 2: you were back in college. How did that come about? 722 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 4: I'm not sure. I don't even remember it, to be 723 00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,919 Speaker 4: honest with you, So yeah, I have no idea so long. 724 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 2: Ago, but that obviously you guys knew each other, you 725 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:05,200 Speaker 2: knew were on friendly terms with each other. You looked 726 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,399 Speaker 2: at him as a a kind of a mentor type 727 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 2: guy in terms of, for sure what he did, what 728 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 2: he was doing in the league. 729 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, especially when I was a when a 730 00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 4: younger guy, he was one of my favorite quarterback grown ups. 731 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 4: So you know, definitely cool. You know, being in the 732 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:19,880 Speaker 4: same room as them, you know, being able to learn 733 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 4: from him and stuff like that. 734 00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,080 Speaker 2: Did that help the relationship when you came here and 735 00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 2: obviously you you guys knew each other. You you had 736 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,919 Speaker 2: a relationship, and did it help? 737 00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 4: I mean I figured it was, you know, it wasn't 738 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 4: like a brand new guy, so it was kind of 739 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 4: we just skipped a few stages, if that makes sense, 740 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:41,359 Speaker 4: Like you didn't have to you know, first time meet 741 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 4: each other. 742 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,400 Speaker 2: So yeah, obviously there's all when when you got two 743 00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 2: guys who were there's only one quarterback job, that can 744 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 2: sometimes cause combativeness or or things of that nature seated 745 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 2: over the years. Talk to different guys about it. You 746 00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 2: guys don't seem to have that relationship that she was. 747 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 2: Like you you've stayed close and tight. 748 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:06,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, I 749 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,719 Speaker 4: don't I don't really understand when guys do have that 750 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,840 Speaker 4: relationship because I'm never gonna you know, hit on a 751 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,759 Speaker 4: man for you know, having success, and I wouldn't want 752 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 4: somebody to do that to me. So, you know, I 753 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,520 Speaker 4: know how it feels. And like we kind of go 754 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 4: back to it's you know, we we all are fighting 755 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 4: for the same thing. 756 00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 2: We just want to win. 757 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 4: So you know, of course in my position, it sucks 758 00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,839 Speaker 4: not being able to, you know, go out there and play. 759 00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 4: But I'm just trying to look at you know, this 760 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 4: time of my life, you know, as a positive, as 761 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,399 Speaker 4: a you know, just try to get the most out 762 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 4: of it, if that makes sense, and just learn as 763 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 4: much as I can. And you know, when I do 764 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:45,440 Speaker 4: get on the field, you know, just prepare now for 765 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,120 Speaker 4: it and you know, continue to get better and work 766 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 4: with my craft. 767 00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 2: Has he been helpful in a lot of this stuff, 768 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,279 Speaker 2: showing you here's what I saw on this and I 769 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,399 Speaker 2: mean that conversation before it takes place. 770 00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it it happens a lot, you know, 771 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 4: every game, every practice. You know, he throws the ball 772 00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,960 Speaker 4: that I wouldn't have thrown. You know, he kind of 773 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,600 Speaker 4: gives me a reasoning why and stuff like that. So 774 00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 4: I usually ask him, you know, questions like that, for sure. 775 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 2: Do you feel like that can be beneficial to you 776 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,399 Speaker 2: at some point year Calier as well? 777 00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you know, just picking his brain, picking 778 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,399 Speaker 4: his brain, seeing why he does, you know, certain things. 779 00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 2: So most definitely stylistically, I mean obviously at one point, 780 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,840 Speaker 2: you guys were very stylistically close and d y do 781 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 2: you see his maturation process as as he's he's not 782 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:30,640 Speaker 2: running as much as he used to and and it's 783 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 2: kind of more pocket oriented. He can still do those 784 00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,040 Speaker 2: kind of things. But but you think, Okay, I can, 785 00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,239 Speaker 2: I can play a long time in this game. Is 786 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,359 Speaker 2: play kind of ah, for sure? 787 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 4: I mean I've I've had to adjust my game, you know, 788 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,640 Speaker 4: based off of you know, my status or my injury 789 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,200 Speaker 4: status for a certain game where I know where I 790 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 4: knew I couldn't run as much like earlier this year, 791 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 4: I got you know, banged up early in the games, 792 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:52,840 Speaker 4: and you know, I just knew in my head that 793 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,320 Speaker 4: I wasn't gonna be as fish as efficient in the 794 00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:56,839 Speaker 4: run game. And you know he's doing the same thing. 795 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,879 Speaker 4: You know, he's gotten a little bit older, probably doesn't 796 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,080 Speaker 4: run as fast as he used to run, so you 797 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:02,160 Speaker 4: know his game has evolved. 798 00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 2: So yeah, thanks Jess. That was Steelers quarterback justin fields 799 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 2: with me earlier today and good stuff, good stuff from 800 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 2: him and you when you when you, as he said, 801 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 2: you know, you don't like to get taken out of 802 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,359 Speaker 2: the lineup. Everybody wants to play. He's competitive and he's 803 00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,799 Speaker 2: competitive and proud, but you know, I think he has 804 00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:25,880 Speaker 2: the right attitude about this whole thing. Just learn as 805 00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,960 Speaker 2: much as you can from this situation. And you know, 806 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 2: if he'd have stayed in Chicago, his situation probably would 807 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 2: have been worse. He wouldn't have played at all, you 808 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 2: wouldn't think. 809 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,880 Speaker 3: And they're falling apart of the seams as we speak, 810 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:45,440 Speaker 3: and I'm sure the organization, coach, Tomlin, Arthur Smith have 811 00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 3: all been very. 812 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 2: Open with justin of you know, this is our plan, 813 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,919 Speaker 2: you know, and you're part of it. But Russell's our starter, 814 00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 2: you know. Do you think we see some of him 815 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,439 Speaker 2: this week?
