1 00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,280 Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: on your twenty four to seven home of the Black 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. 4 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lolli. He is the Matt Williamson 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 2: and this is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio. It's 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 2: time for the Fantasy Football Focus and we'll go around 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 2: the league here see who is in practice and who 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: isn't out of practice right now, And of course the 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 2: big news for Steeler fans is that Karen Williams coach 10 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 2: RAMS coach Sean McVay said that Karen Williams is week 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,879 Speaker 2: to week. He ain't playing this. I mean if they 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 2: say day to day, that means there's a chance they 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 2: say week. 14 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 3: To week, not this week. Maybe next week. 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, not going to happen this week. And that is 16 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 2: also relevant because his backup, Ronnie Rivers was placed on 17 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 2: injury reserve today. 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 3: Forget about it. Yeah, So they are going to have 19 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,279 Speaker 3: a new running back. 20 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: It's going to be some combination of Zach Evans, Royce Freeman, 21 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: and either my Gasking or Dryl Henderson. My bet would 22 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 2: be on Henderson. 23 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 3: The first two are on the roster and will be 24 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 3: active and then they'll probably activate another. 25 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: One of those other two guys will look at them. 26 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: I bet they don't know that answer right now. 27 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 2: They probably don't. 28 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 3: I mean they're also new. 29 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: But Henderson's the one, even though he hasn't been on 30 00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,400 Speaker 2: a team, knows the offense. 31 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you're familiar with them. Yeah, you just 32 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 3: hope he's in shape and right, that's the only question 33 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 3: what cow many snaps can handle. And the problem with Evans, 34 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 3: and we've talked about a lot this week, the way 35 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 3: that team structured running back is really your only extra 36 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 3: pass protector, right, and Evans didn't do a lot of 37 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 3: it in college. He has six NFL snaps to judge 38 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: whether he could do it now. You would at least 39 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 3: think Freeman is able. I mean, he's really boring as 40 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: a ball carrier as a receiver, but at least he 41 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 3: might know how to chip Watt on his way out 42 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 3: or whatever. 43 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: It might be a situation where when we saw this, 44 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: you know, the previous years, when the Steelers would swap 45 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: out their inside linebackers, you'll be able to tell what 46 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: the what the Rams are going to do by who's 47 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: on the field. 48 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe, I mean if Evans is out there, maybe 49 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: he's going on the route or you. 50 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: Know, or he's carrying the football, if Freeman's out there, 51 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 2: they're using him as the personal protector, things like that. 52 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it could be. I think you might worry about that. 53 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 3: There could be some tells immediately and maybe Henderson looks 54 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 3: good and then he pulls a hammy or you know, yeah, right, 55 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 3: that's in the second. 56 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 2: Half, you know, right, Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't expect 57 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,679 Speaker 2: him to get a bunch of touches in this game 58 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 2: coming in off the couch. 59 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: So I wonder, you know, just from a fantasy perspective. 60 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 3: We both know a thing or two about fantasy. We 61 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 3: talk about it every day. If we weren't scrutinizing this 62 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 3: game to no end, might we have pushed some chips 63 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,639 Speaker 3: in the middle for Evans, thinking, you know, he's gonna 64 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: be the guy. 65 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would not have. 66 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 3: I didn't. I mean, because I scrutinized this game. I 67 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 3: was like, all these other running back moves tell me 68 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: I do not want to start Evans. 69 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 2: I think it's a very similar similar situation to what 70 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 2: happened in Arizona last week when James Connor was out 71 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: and everybody rushed out to pick up the backup whose 72 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: name I can't remember me either, and he was basically 73 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 2: the third down back, and the key Ingram was the 74 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 2: guy who got ten carries. 75 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: Because Ingram was inactive. Right, So obviously, when Connor got hurt, 76 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 3: your only plan breaking case of emergency is give it 77 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 3: to the name that we don't know, and then you 78 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 3: get all week to prepare and you play Ingram and 79 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 3: he's the better back. He's the bigger, more solid dude. 80 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 3: You know, like people, it's a lesson to learn about 81 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: running backs. They get hurt a lot, and on game 82 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 3: day you might not have the perfect plan. 83 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 2: He might play. The guy who is the true backup 84 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: might be on He doesn't play special team, so he's 85 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: active game. 86 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: Right, right, it's not Benny Snell gets thrown into the 87 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 3: mix because he's the only one that's active that day, 88 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 3: you know. 89 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: So, yeah, that's the way it works. 90 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:42,839 Speaker 4: Uh. 91 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: Lane Johnson for the Eagles, they're a star right tackle. 92 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: He miss practice on Wednesday. 93 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: It's a massive deal. I mean, we'll see if he 94 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 3: goes or not. But he's as important as any offensive 95 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: line in the league. 96 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, obviously, you know, being a veteran guy. He 97 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: probably doesn't need a ton of practice to be ready 98 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: to be but this guy might. And Eagles wide receiver 99 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: Devonte Smith, with a hamstring injury, did not practice on Wednesday. 100 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't know, I mean, is it bugging 101 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 3: him for a while because he hasn't been good for 102 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks and they signed Julio Jones 103 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,360 Speaker 3: presumably before this hamstring injury. I mean the news yesterday 104 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: was Julio got signed, but that was for a Watkins replacement. 105 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: And then did he ding it today or did he 106 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 3: ding it on Sunday? Never bugging him for a month? 107 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 2: What I know is it in three of the last 108 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 2: four games he's had less than forty four receiving. 109 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: Guess and AJ Brown's been massive. 110 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. 111 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 3: So now we're talking fantasy, there's a trend that I 112 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 3: don't have a great answer for, but it's an obvious trend. 113 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 3: Like these really really good number two receivers Godwin, Higgins, Waddle, 114 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 3: Smith drafted really high in fantasy, great football players. The 115 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: ones are blowing their doors off this one. 116 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: I didn't want anything to do with those guys because of. 117 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: That they were really high. 118 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I would rather have the number one 119 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: receiver off of a different team than one of those 120 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: number two guys, because there's just typically there's a there's 121 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 2: too much fluctuation from week to week. 122 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 3: That's what I was going to say, is like, when 123 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 3: things are pristine, Higgins is great. You know, sure Wattle's great. 124 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 3: But when any little thing goes wrong with the offense, 125 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 3: well let's get back to feed and Chase twenty, feed 126 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 3: the beast. And I know Higgins has an injury, but 127 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 3: it's a trend. And you know, all those number two 128 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 3: receivers have not come close to the number one guy. 129 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree. I agree. Greg Dolcic with a 130 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: hamstring did not practice on Wednesday, was coming back. Yeah, 131 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 2: you jump back out mentioned the Ramandre Stevenson limited in 132 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 2: practice on Wednesday. 133 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 3: Just when he started to look kind of good because 134 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: it's been hit so hitting minute like that was his 135 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 3: best game at least usage and scored. And I don't 136 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 3: even blame him. He can be my running back any day. 137 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 2: It's the people, the same people who are saying Naujie 138 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 2: Harris is having a bad year, right right right, You 139 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: can't if you don't get the football, you don't. 140 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 3: Get him blocking you don't get it. No one fears 141 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 3: your passing game. 142 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 2: Craig Reynolds, with a toe in hamstring, did not practice 143 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: on Wednesday for the Detroit Lions. That is noteworthy because. 144 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 3: On what Gibbs is up to either, well, he was 145 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 3: limited in Wednesday's practice. They might just say, young pup, 146 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: you're you're playing this week? 147 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, you got to go, because it's why we use 148 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 2: the mandatory. Montgomery is out. 149 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, So if Reynolds goes, would you start him over 150 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 3: like Evans? I mean, I don't know, you're quite the 151 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 3: Montgomery role, but he would probably get the He'll get 152 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: a good the tough yards stuff and good chance to score. 153 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 2: Probably gets ten carries. 154 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: In Baltimore, good defense, he probably. 155 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: Gets ten carries with a good offensive line. 156 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 3: The good offensive line and no one probably want to 157 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 3: run the ball on the road. 158 00:06:59,120 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: I would think so. 159 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 3: I think he's usable. 160 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: Jaguars cornerback Tyson Campbell is for Week seven. 161 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 3: Really, it's good for Lave you mentioned last segment. Saints 162 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 3: protection could be. 163 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: The ball can be coming out quick. 164 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 3: It could be you know that that certainly favors Kamara. 165 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 3: Car Shirt likes dumping it to him. But Campbell's clearly 166 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: their best corner. 167 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 2: Say Jones is out again this week? 168 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: Okay, does that change your opinion on Kirk or Ridley? 169 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 3: They're probably starters either way. 170 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 2: You probably start. Yeah, skuon Barkley with the ankle, was 171 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: limited Wednesday's practice. I'm not concerned about that. He came 172 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 2: back last week. He looked great. 173 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, if them up, if Lawrence just go back a second, 174 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 3: if Lawrence doesn't play, you still probably start Ridley. 175 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, you might have a better yeah, Oprippian. 176 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, receivers you can at least find It's not like 177 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 3: running back where I have to play. Reynolds is the 178 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 3: only guy I can get there. Head, you can play the ball, 179 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 3: Yeah you might. You might avoid all those guys. Yea 180 00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 3: Lawrence doesn't play. 181 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: Packer's head coach said that Devandre Campbell is doubtful to 182 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: play in Week seven against the Broncos. 183 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 3: I would hold him out for that game. 184 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good run stuffer for no. 185 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: He's a good player though. Yeah, he's a very good player. 186 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 2: Mentioned mccol hartman getting traded. Travis Homer returned to practice 187 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: on Wednesday for Chicago. 188 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 3: If that matters or not, it sounds like they're optimistic Roan. 189 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: Roshan did not practice today? Didn't they not even limited? 190 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: Wow? Because that's usually step one, that's step one. 191 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 2: To get week concussion. 192 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not good Foreman. That sets up well for Foreman. 193 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: That offense might not have first downs though, I mean, 194 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 3: considering who the quarterback is that destroys Dj Moore, if 195 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 3: you had any similar to hope for Camet, forget about. 196 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 2: It, they might have like one hundred and fifty yards 197 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 2: of total offense in this game. 198 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and the defense might be on the 199 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 3: field all the time because they're terrible. I mean we're 200 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 3: talking off the air. My two main leagues. I'm probably 201 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 3: gonna be forced to play Roshawn Johnson if he If 202 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,960 Speaker 3: he plays, I don't expect him to do anything. I mean, 203 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: if it was for men, I don't expect him to 204 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 3: do anything. 205 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 2: You're hoping that they catch the ball a few times. 206 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 2: This balance things. 207 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a horrendous offense with the quarterback. 208 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: If Roshawn Johnson doesn't play, Travis Homer could be that game. 209 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 3: Maybe he is that guy. Yeah, he catches the ball, 210 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 3: He's been around the block. He can protect, you know, 211 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 3: so might be a Maybe that's the guy you pick 212 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 3: up last minute and hope you get six points out 213 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 3: of him. 214 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, the Mario Davis will be a game time 215 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: decision on Thursday for the Saints.

They. 219 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: I wonder if they just lean on Atn in this 220 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 2: Thursday night game and say, hey, Bud, you're gonna carry 221 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 2: it twenty. 222 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 3: Five times, then we'll get a nice long break. 223 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 2: You get a nice long break after. 224 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're probably sore from the weekend before, but we 225 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 3: need you. Heah might right. You know, Trevor is not 226 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 3: the same, and. 227 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: They really it's been almost all Atn. 228 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 3: He's been really good too. 229 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 230 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 3: Well I missed on him my going into the year. 231 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: I thought he's a very overrated receiver and he's not 232 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 3: gonna get the goal line stuff. And he's a receiver 233 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 3: and now he does everything and he's a star. 234 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's getting it all. Joel Buttonio returned to practice 235 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:13,200 Speaker 2: for the Browns on Wednesday. Yeah. John Michael Schmitz did 236 00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: not practice for the Giants. One's offensive line is a mess. 237 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 2: Andrew Thomas didn't practice on Wednesday. Wow, josh Zsuzudu, I 238 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 2: should say, was placed on injured reserve. 239 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 3: He was, but he was the Thomas replacement until they said, 240 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 3: well he was and then he got hurt and pew 241 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 3: who they signed off the couch, the couch, off the couch, 242 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,599 Speaker 3: and he looks like a long stop. He looked like 243 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 3: he lost weight. You know him, he was never big 244 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 3: and huge to begin with, but doesn't look right in this. 245 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 2: They're gonna have to start like you just eat nothing 246 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 2: but protein shakes, like yeah, fifteen times a day. Now 247 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: get the way back on. 248 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 3: It looks like I'm like, I'm retired to do the 249 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 3: fan lose weight move. And then that's they called. I'll go. 250 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 3: You know, I'm here, take the paye play some guard. Well, 251 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 3: then the left tackle gets hurt. You get to go 252 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 3: play left tackle against but von Miller do Yeah. 253 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 2: Okay, so this week we have to talk about this. 254 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray was activated off of the started his window. 255 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 2: He started his window, same with Buddha Baker. 256 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 3: That's our two best players, the two best players, most 257 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 3: invested players the ball. 258 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: Mike Jarecki of Arizona Football Daily said that Murray could 259 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: be good to go in like two weeks. He's not 260 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: going to play this week? 261 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 3: Sure, my question. 262 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 2: We talked a little bit about him earlier in the week. 263 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: If he if he comes back in what's been a 264 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 2: really down year for overall for quarterbacks, he's worth rostering. 265 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I don't know that. 266 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 2: I expect him to run around like. 267 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 3: He used to, though maybe not, maybe not. 268 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 2: I mean, he's coming off a serious knee injury. I 269 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: don't know what it's going to look like. 270 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: See fantasy aside. I'm looking at that a couple of 271 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 3: different ways, like, is Arizona going man? Chicago's got those 272 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: two first picks, but can we get behind? Can we 273 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 3: get worse than the Bears? The Panthers? Denver is our 274 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: Caleb Williams dreams no longer in play? You know, do 275 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,559 Speaker 3: we want to? And also, so are we going to 276 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 3: try to get Kyler out there build around him in 277 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 3: the future. You know, Dobbs can be his mentor so 278 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 3: let's get him out there, or hey, let's activate the 279 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 3: window now if he can't get healthy in these three weeks, 280 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 3: our season with Kyler's shot anyways, and we'll hopefully get 281 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 3: Drake may or something like that. You know. I mean, 282 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: I just say, there's a lot of ways on peel 283 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 3: it at this stage of the season, or hey. 284 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 2: They're kind of married to him with that contract. 285 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 3: I have to say, he's not easy to move anyway. 286 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 3: I mean, if you fall into Caleb Williams, you take him, 287 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 3: maybe a draft Marvin Harrison junior, and build around Kyler Murray, 288 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. 289 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: You know, yes, decisions that they're gonna have to make. 290 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: They do have two first round draft picks. Yeah, they 291 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: also have Houston's, which doesn't look like he's going to 292 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 2: be as high as no what everybody thinks. 293 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 3: They end up with like five and seventeen. 294 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 2: You could, you know, if you really wanted to, he 295 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 2: could probably make the move up to get maybe Drake 296 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 2: May with the second pack or something like that. 297 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 3: But or you just say, Kyler you're our guy, you know, 298 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 3: give it another year and see what happens. I don't know. 299 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 3: I think that whole dynamic is kind of interesting, jimm 300 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 3: If you're going to trade him, you'd like to have 301 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 3: some tape. 302 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you're gonna put something out there. So I 303 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 2: think it is noteworthy that he you know, they're looking 304 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 2: at maybe playing him right before the trade deadline. 305 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 3: I'm thinking it's an off season trade, you know, more 306 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 3: so playably. Yeah, but maybe he gets a game under 307 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 3: there and someone says we'll take them. 308 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaking of quarterback play, Jimmy Garoppolo with the back, 309 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: did not practice on Wednesday. 310 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: It was odd that he went to the hospital, I 311 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 3: mean back in. I wouldn't think they rush him back. 312 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: Do you think they go with Brian Hoyer? Do they 313 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 2: go with Aidan O'Connell again, I. 314 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 3: Think it'll be O'Connell. 315 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 2: They're three and three. 316 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess say, hey, we got to win this 317 00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 3: game and Hoyer's the backup on game day they're playing Chicago, 318 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 3: they probably win with either, But I would play Hoyer. 319 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: Try to try to win the game and get to 320 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: get your fourth win and see where it goes from there. 321 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,680 Speaker 3: Yeah. Handed to Jacobs a lot, protect the ball, don't 322 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 3: do rookie dumb stuff, and we should win. 323 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 2: Uh. Dolphins running back Chris Brooks did not practice on Wednesday. 324 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: That is noteworthy because well he's number three on them. 325 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 3: And I said, what's the pecking order now? There? 326 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 2: I mean itself on Akhmed. 327 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: Okay, Wilson has not been activated right no, okay, but 328 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 3: did they start his window? I think they opened his 329 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: window or whatever. There's some kind of Wilson they. 330 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 2: Could have opened it. I think I think they did 331 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: open it. I think practice he still wasn't practicing though. 332 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 2: Maybe I think he was eligible to have his window open. 333 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: I don't know if they did. 334 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 3: Okay, so that's still foggy obviously, but there's other. 335 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 2: Saying okay, uh, I guess. Mike McDaniel said that Jeff 336 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 2: Wilson has been deemed ready to go for whatever that means. 337 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 3: So I would think he's the two when ready. I mean, 338 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 3: if he's active on game day, he would be my 339 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 3: second favorite Dolphins running back to play. Does that sound right? 340 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if I trust Akhmed or 341 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 3: these other dudes all that much, but boy, moster it's 342 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 3: a league winner at the moment. 343 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, as. 344 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 3: Long as he can stay healthy, which I don't think 345 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 3: will happen much longer he's thirty one or something like that, 346 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 3: and the way he plays, but so what I mean, 347 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 3: he is a monster right now. 348 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The Cardinals release running back Tony Jones. They 349 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: signed him last week to help them get through this 350 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 2: whole situation. Keyonta ingram was banged up. He's back, So 351 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 2: they just released Jones. 352 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 3: Yeah he's a borderline NFL player. 353 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, hmm. Interesting. The Dolphins restructured the contract of kicker 354 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: Jason Sanders. I wonder if they've freed up some cap 355 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 2: space for them one point three million. 356 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 3: Wonder if they're making a trade. I mean this time 357 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 3: of year, when you see that immediately for an immediately 358 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: go they trying to add somebody. 359 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're creating cap space for something, not just doing. 360 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 3: It's just not to roll it over for next year. No, no, 361 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 3: but maybe you'll get to this. But what's really interesting 362 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 3: about them is Jalen Ramsey's coming back. Yeah right, maybe. 363 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 2: He's not going to come back this week. 364 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, but some of these guys we thought we wouldn't 365 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 3: see till end end of the season, or Kyler and 366 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 3: him and in the defense still a problem. 367 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 2: Oh they can't stop him. Guy Like, don't talk to 368 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: me about Christian Wilkins being Oh, he's just massive. They 369 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: don't stop to run. No, that's what he suppars to 370 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 2: do a lot better. That's what he's there to do, 371 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 2: is stop to run. He's not there as a pass Rusher. 372 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: He's there to stop to run, and they don't stop 373 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 2: to run. 374 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 3: I mean along those lines, though, where it's going with 375 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 3: this is Ramsey Kyler. You're even here in Aaron Rodgers 376 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 3: is out of a boot. 377 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 2: And I believe that when I see it, I know, 378 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 2: I like, there's a big difference between stepping out on 379 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 2: the field and throwing some balls and stepping out on 380 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 2: the field and having Aaron Donald chase you rosa, you know, 381 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: with a with a surgically repaired. 382 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 3: With his achilles tendon, mushroom medicine or whatever he's doing too. 383 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,760 Speaker 2: I get it. You know, professional athletes are built differently 384 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: than most people. But that says, yeah, he Aaron Rodgers 385 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 2: if he comes back, It's not he only does it 386 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 2: at the end end of the season. He's not coming 387 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: back like they're talking. Well, if if you know Wilson 388 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 2: can keep them in playoff contention, First of all, that's 389 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: not happening. They're three and three. They're three and three 390 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 2: right now, but it's been done with smoking mirrors, and 391 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: I don't expect that to keep up. 392 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I could see them being five and five 393 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 3: if Rogers is way ahead of schedule like I did 394 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 3: My point is I didn't expect it to hear Ramsey 395 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 3: Murray Rogers name in October, you know what I mean. Yeah, 396 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 3: I Just'm not saying they're rush back on the scene 397 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:45,840 Speaker 3: right now. 398 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 2: He does that stuff on you know, he like Pat 399 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 2: McAfee and he's are He is a glory. 400 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 3: Heund he let everyone know or made it. You know, 401 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 3: he was thrown passes before in pregame in New. 402 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: York watching Look at this, I'm out here throwing past. 403 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 3: Sorry, he didn't have to throw pregame passes. No, he 404 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 3: wasn't thinking about playing that day. No, of course there's 405 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 3: a method. 406 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 2: He could have done that in practice, you know, when 407 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,320 Speaker 2: nobody's watching him. Cho chose to do it then? Uh. 408 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid with the concussion, was a full participant in 409 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: Wednesday's practice for the Bills. 410 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: He's back, but I bet I could come with twelve 411 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 3: tight ends. He's not. 412 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 2: He's not been the target that I think we all 413 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 2: thought he would. 414 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 3: Be the like would you start him or Michael Mayor? 415 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 3: Michael Mayor, Yeah, Mayor's legit. 416 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 2: I think Damian Harris with that concussion did not practice 417 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 2: on Wednesday. But that's good, I mean, right, you know 418 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 2: when you guys get carted off the field. That was. 419 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 2: That's not a good thing. 420 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 3: It's not a hamling situation or something like that. 421 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 2: Everybody feared Aaron Jones with the hamstring back in practice 422 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 2: on Wednesday for the Packers. 423 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 3: People say running backs don't matter fantasy aside. They could 424 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 3: have used Aaron Jones. That's Jordan love of running backs matter. Yeah, 425 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 3: I mean a j Dillon runs into a wall doesn't 426 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 3: make anybody miss Jones is a problem for defense. 427 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, Deshaun Watson did not practice on winds. I don't 428 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 2: think he plays. 429 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 3: Getting he plays again, it's crazy. 430 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 2: Wow. 431 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 3: So so the league we're in, I have Richardson Watson 432 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 3: fields and I've been holding on to them. I picked 433 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 3: up Kyler today. I cut Richardson for Daniel Jones. I 434 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 3: might get zero staffs out of all those guys. I 435 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 3: might be starting Tyrod Taylor on Sunday morning. 436 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 2: Good luck with that. 437 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I just picked up a bunch of 438 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,439 Speaker 3: guys hoping somebody plays. I know Kyler's not I know 439 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 3: Fields isn't. It doesn't sound like Watson's going to Richardson's done. 440 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 3: There you have it. 441 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: Seems like a plan. I hope you have one. 442 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 3: Well, I'm hoping that's Daniel Jones or Watson that we 443 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 3: get some news as the as the week goes on. 444 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,399 Speaker 3: Otherwise I'll pick up one of their dumb backups. I mean, 445 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 3: there's would be one of thirty two. I'll be able 446 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 3: to at least start to get points. You have to 447 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: cut somebody else, cuts one of those guys. That'll cut 448 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,919 Speaker 3: Dadel Jones again or whatever. It's not pretty. 449 00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 2: No, it's not pretty at all. Josh Allen with a 450 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 2: shoulder practiced on Wednesday, so good news there for him. 451 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 2: Wrong with them, this is little Deshaun Watson spoke to 452 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: the media today. 453 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 3: This is getting weird. 454 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 2: He says he's not sure he will fully recover from 455 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,760 Speaker 2: his shoulder injury in twenty twenty three. It's a a 456 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 2: rotator cuff strain, is what he said. Now before it 457 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 2: was a contusion, rotator tough, a tough contusion. 458 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: I just think there's been a lot of funny business 459 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 3: with this between team players. 460 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: The league might want to look into this. 461 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that the first week it happened. 462 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: Well, he might play this well he's stayed to day. 463 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, fine, goes out there, warms up, he's playing the month, 464 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 3: looks like he got shot and he's warming up in 465 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 3: just wincing and you know, and pain. 466 00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 2: Like there's no chance he hasn't played in a month. 467 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 3: And then the coach kind of calls him out and 468 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 3: you know he's always played in pain before. 469 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just weird again saying that he might not 470 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 2: fully recover from the injury this year this year. 471 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: And he might be an odd fellow. He might be. 472 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,360 Speaker 3: I mean, he's got some It's been a weird few 473 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:19,680 Speaker 3: years for mister Watson. 474 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: I mean they're paying him a boatload of. 475 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: Money, guaranteed money and sixty two million cap it the 476 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 3: next year. 477 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 2: You went through that process yesterday where we said is 478 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 2: this guy worth it? Has this guy not been worth it? 479 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 2: On the nobody's roster? 480 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 3: Nobody's not worth it as much as him right now. 481 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 3: Unbelievable first round picks left and right. Sixty two million 482 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 3: dollar cap it the next two years that I don't 483 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 3: think you can change, and you'll also push it down. Yeah. 484 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 2: Again, they can say they're not all in for this year, 485 00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: but they're all in for this year. 486 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,920 Speaker 3: In for this year, Yeah, and it might not happen. Wow. 487 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:54,119 Speaker 3: So I assume it'll be what's his name again? Walker. 488 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 3: I assume it was better than J. 489 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 2: Walker against the Colts. 490 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 3: It wasn't good, but it was better than dtr. 491 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 2: Are you firing up the Colts defense if that's the case. Yeah, yeah, 492 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: I think that that looks like a seventeen to sixteen game. 493 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely. 494 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you who's going to win it. No, right, 495 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 2: I will say this. I saw this stat today. It's 496 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 2: a crazy one. Since the twenty start of the twenty 497 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 2: twenty one season, the Cleveland Browns when they have won 498 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 2: a football game the following week are three and thirteen. Wow, 499 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 2: three and thirteen. They do not know how to handle success, 500 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 2: even a little bit of success. 501 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 3: So all I say is good things about their defense. 502 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 3: But if you're going to have backup quarterbacks and not 503 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 3: your top running back. The Jets are dealing with this, 504 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 3: you know, Like I adore the Jets defense, but they 505 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 3: can only keep you in games for so many weeks 506 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 3: and then eventually it's like we're out here for forty 507 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 3: minutes game and I can't do it. 508 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, the Colts aren't as slappy as I think. 509 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 3: Right, They'll be physical and they'll run the ball and 510 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 3: if it's closed. 511 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 2: And they now have take on PJ. Walker playing in 512 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 2: the Brown offense, it matters. But I mean he put 513 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 2: some balls and harms way less four or five interceptions 514 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 2: in the game that got dropped. It just doesn't look good. 515 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,679 Speaker 3: I don't like the problems they have, and I really 516 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 3: don't like the problems the Browns have in future years. 517 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,959 Speaker 2: And anytime the Browns start walking around their chest puffed 518 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 2: out usually they get just when you thought they were out, 519 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 2: they pull them back in. 520 00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 3: I was shocked that the Colts are only three point 521 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 3: dogs on that, but that might be. 522 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 2: Maybe that's why too much. 523 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe that's why interesting. 524 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 2: Anyways, we're going to get through a break.

Yeah, there's a 677 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 3: there's he's a guy that maybe they should consider. 678 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, the definite difference. Uh for the Cardinals, Yeah, yeah, 679 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: buyers Kansas City. 680 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 3: Yes, I don't know all their cap situations for these teams, 681 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 3: but they should certainly add look to add a piece. 682 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 2: Saying positions to target a wide receiver in an edge 683 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: when they took care of the wide receiver today, wouldn't 684 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 2: surprise me to see Frank Clark. 685 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 3: Oh, they added one, they added one.

I know it didn't end well there, 689 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 2: but they could happen. 690 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, use something like that new Cha or Daniel Hunter or. 691 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's trade to go all at it. Uh. 692 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:28,239 Speaker 2: The Eagles, Yeah, second guys, Yeah, back seven guys.

I 698 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 3: mean it should say nine defensive starters on that list, 699 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 3: you know. I mean, like you're not going to solve 700 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 3: things to become a contender with two small deals. Yeah, 701 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 3: I mean maybe it's squeaking the playoffs and get beaten 702 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,640 Speaker 3: their first round.

Any of her first 749 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:34,480 Speaker 3: round pick sitting there. 750 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, then Palmer and Palmer and your your defense is 751 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 2: making all kinds of money. Like, at some points you 752 00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 2: got to like, Okay, this is what we got. They 753 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 2: deal with it. 754 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,959 Speaker 3: No cap money for next year. Yeah, I get it, 755 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 3: because this might be their window too. 756 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 2: And then the Ravens, they're saying they need to still 757 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 2: need to target an edge rusher. 758 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,080 Speaker 3: I'd get a running back. 759 00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 2: I would too. 760 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think any of those guys are good. 761 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I'm saying they should have went got Jonathan Taylor, 762 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 3: But what's Derrick Henry gonna cost me? 763 00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 2: They don't they don't rush the passer. 764 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 3: Well, I'm not saying edge is not a problem, but 765 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 3: the defense have been solid. I think both should be. 766 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 2: In it, but they really have to scheme it up. 767 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 2: It's a. 768 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 3: Imagine they lost. 769 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 2: The game against the Steelers because they didn't rush the 770 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 2: passer at all at all in that game. 771 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, imagine that played. If you give me 772 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 3: give me Hunter, wow, okay, I mean if I'm giving 773 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,520 Speaker 3: you a first round pick for him, but I might 774 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 3: give you something big I'm sure there's a running back 775 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 3: you could get that's Zach Moss. 776 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,239 Speaker 2: Zach Moss would be a killer for that. 777 00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:40,720 Speaker 3: I mean, it's a huge upgrade. 778 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 2: I'm I don't know if I'm if I'm the Colts. 779 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to get rid of 780 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 2: Zach Moss, because that looks like my path of victory 781 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:48,560 Speaker 2: now is running Moss and Taylor. 782 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 3: Like if James Connor was healthy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll 783 00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:55,160 Speaker 3: give you a fourth round pick for Connor or something 784 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:57,120 Speaker 3: like that. Just who says no to that? 785 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,480 Speaker 2: See? Do you think the Steelers at this point. 786 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 3: I would only be looking for two things, a safety 787 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 3: or a corner and an outside corner. 788 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,200 Speaker 2: Well they just they just signed an outside an outside corner. 789 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:13,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't know that would prohibit me from trading 790 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 3: for Jalen Johnson or something like that, but it's probably no. Yeah, 791 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 3: what I mean this is pie in the sky. But 792 00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 3: bired or Simmons. 793 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,560 Speaker 2: Well, buyered, I'd be definitely be interested in. 794 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 3: I mean, those two are stars. But then you have 795 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,880 Speaker 3: like the most expensive safety room. 796 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, it would cost you a jillion dollars, but buyer 797 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:34,799 Speaker 2: would be great. 798 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,520 Speaker 3: Buyer would be great. I think Justin Simmons would be 799 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:41,040 Speaker 3: great too. Yeah, not Justin, Yeah, but I mean something 800 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 3: like that. I'd be interested in for a mid round 801 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 3: pick because you have to inherit the contract. 802 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 2: That's the thing you got to you gotta take in 803 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 2: the contract.

I don't know if I 806 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:52,800 Speaker 2: want to do that. 807 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 3: If they just want the money, then if they want 808 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 3: the money off the books, maybe, I mean that would 809 00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 3: be and some of them, yeah, some of these kids 810 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,400 Speaker 3: renting anybody though, Yeah, right, I'll take a big contract 811 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:07,680 Speaker 3: because we can afford it. And even like Jalen Johnson 812 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 3: I mentioned from the Bears, he's an expiring deal. If 813 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,239 Speaker 3: you're going to make that deal, I'd almost want to 814 00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 3: extend him immediately. 815 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:20,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. The problem I mean for the yearly I'm sorry, 816 00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 2: the cap hit on buyer this year and he's starty 817 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:27,560 Speaker 2: is eleven point two million. But the dead cap space 818 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,480 Speaker 2: and I don't know how this works in terms of that, 819 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 2: but because they had a restructured bonus and all kinds 820 00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 2: of stuff, like is twenty four million twenty four point 821 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 2: sixty Yeah, so it costs them more money now they 822 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:40,879 Speaker 2: haven't out after this season is over. 823 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 3: But if they're planning on using it, maybe they'd rather 824 00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:43,719 Speaker 3: get a pick. 825 00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 2: I don't know, Yeah, I don't know what. 826 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 3: I don't know how the money works, but guys like 827 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 3: Simmons and Buyer would be really interested in. Yeah, but 828 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:52,399 Speaker 3: it's like for a. 829 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 2: Fourth and then they still have dead cap space. He 830 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,080 Speaker 2: signed through twenty twenty four. It's nine point six million 831 00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,919 Speaker 2: next year. The base salary. He's not bad. If somebody 832 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 2: were training, it's only four million. 833 00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:04,760 Speaker 3: I think he says nine point four. 834 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 2: Nine point six next year. 835 00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 3: I can stomach that next year. 836 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, So that would mean you'd probably because they're gonna 837 00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:12,040 Speaker 2: eat a bunch of you probably end up having to 838 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:14,280 Speaker 2: give up like a third round pick to get Kevin Byron. 839 00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,759 Speaker 3: I'd consider it. It opens up a lot of possibilities 840 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 3: of what you can do with Menka and. 841 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,600 Speaker 2: Oh, no doubt. Yeah, good football player. 842 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 3: It doesn't mean I'm not saying that puts you over 843 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,520 Speaker 3: the top stiers win the Super Bowl. Just the need 844 00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:31,359 Speaker 3: from last year and makes you better now for next year. 845 00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 3: I mean it takes away an offseason need. 846 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you're old you're old, but yeah, I 847 00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 2: don't know if they need to do anything at this point. Yeah, 848 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,239 Speaker 2: I think you just kind of hope your offense gets better, 849 00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 2: and well they did last year.

We don't come out and 954 00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,760 Speaker 4: start fast, you gonna be behind play, behind the sticks 955 00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,720 Speaker 4: and stuff like that. It's gonna be a tough, tough, 956 00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 4: long game. But as long as we come out there 957 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,400 Speaker 4: and start fast and be out front of everything, or 958 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 4: we'll be fine. Just kids, just can't overthink and try 959 00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 4: to do stuff that we not used to do. That's 960 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:09,000 Speaker 4: all it is. 961 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 5: Do you undertain how do you help the offense start fast? 962 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,359 Speaker 5: What do you kind of add that maybe he's spend 963 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 5: missing the last ten or five for years, Oh that spark. 964 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 965 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 4: That from a route runner standpoint or me being able 966 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,880 Speaker 4: to get open easily. Uh, just giving that with that 967 00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,839 Speaker 4: uh comfort for Kenny out there knowing that he can 968 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 4: rely on his guys and knowing who's who's gonna be 969 00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,239 Speaker 4: open each down the distance or what not. But like 970 00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 4: I said, it gives the offense a h spark. We 971 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,080 Speaker 4: can play fast knowing kenniy g he's comfortable got his 972 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 4: guys beast, he don't gotta worry about who he's unsure 973 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,759 Speaker 4: about whatever like that. So just him, like I say, 974 00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,480 Speaker 4: us playing was one and moving fastest to me. 975 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,280 Speaker 2: Two more going up and is Kenny and the receiving 976 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 2: body Ninas. 977 00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,240 Speaker 3: And what's he like when you guys are all talking together? 978 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 4: Uh they pop fast in and out. Uh. Kenny's just 979 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 4: uh part back generally in general. Uh, but we mostly 980 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,320 Speaker 4: catch up during uh the team offers and you know whatnot. 981 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 4: But we don't really meet like the donside for Fridays. 982 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,320 Speaker 4: We meet as a unit of kv's and the receivers. 983 00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 4: That's pretty much it. But he'll probably give us, like 984 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,240 Speaker 4: his his few corners on what he thinks we should 985 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 4: do on certain players or where we shou should expect 986 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,880 Speaker 4: the ball at uh, certain times with stuff like that. 987 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,840 Speaker 5: Is there something that you've noticed or difference you've noticed 988 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 5: in Kenny watching on the sideline through the first five 989 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 5: games that maybe wasn't there a year ago, or something 990 00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 5: he's doing differently. 991 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,439 Speaker 2: I would say from his leadership. You know what I'm saying, 992 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:36,240 Speaker 2: he's more vocal. 993 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 4: Last year he was trying to get his get his 994 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 4: feet well, you know what I'm saying, getting stuff under 995 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:41,399 Speaker 4: his belt. 996 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 2: Now he's comfortable, he's. 997 00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 4: Been out there, he's seen things, so now he he 998 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:48,279 Speaker 4: he's being more of a leader. You you want that 999 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 4: from your quarterback. You know that that makes you want 1000 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 4: to play harder for them. And you know what I'm saying, 1001 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:56,000 Speaker 4: Once you got a quarterback like that, anything happening out there. 1002 00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,759 Speaker 4: So that's what it is, right, Thank you and see
