Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty two point seven eight points.

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 3: There's a lot of points scored in fantasy. And we

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 3: still have DeVante Adams going tonight revenge game against the

12
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: game against.

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: It just goes out there and gets five catches for

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: sixty yards.

15
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 3: We're pretty much set.

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:46,480
Speaker 2: We're pretty good.

17
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 3: Nice, but what do you do again? Let's run down it.

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: We had Matthew Stafford thirteen point five percent ownership. He

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 2: gets sixteen point eighty eight points. Yeah, he supports Cup

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: and the coup of pretty well. I mean, and they

21
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: weren't out there much, but he throws was a lot.

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 2: He's a quality fantasy player right now. Our running back

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: calls were dead on, dead on, So we had bres Hall.

24
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was beautiful. He had the thirty one

25
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: point four points twenty two point seven percent ownership.

26
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 3: Is he an RB one from here on out until

27
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 3: further notice? I'm not ready to go that's an every

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: week starter because their team's not really good.

29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: Their team's just not good enough to We've seen too much,

30
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: seen too many games here over the last three or

31
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: four weeks where they just aren't They're not able to

32
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: run the football because they're behind a whole bunch of

33
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: points and they can't stay in the field.

34
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: Tremendous talent, but they also don't play Denver every week? Yeah,

35
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: I mean Denver's Yeah.

36
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: I think he's more of an RB two and hopefully

37
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 2: you have somebody else dedication you hope for the upside.

38
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: But yeah, he could do that in a game against

39
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: the Broncos.

40
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: Yes, for like Cook and Carter aren't his way nearly

41
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: as much as they used to be.

42
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: No, butch is I think next week the Jets play?

43
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

44
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, their schedules ridiculously. Might they got the Eagles or

45
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: somebody coming up there? You're not going to start him

46
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: against the Eagles.

47
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: Right, he's probably top twenty four, he's not one, Yeah,

48
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 3: eight chan twenty five points, uh thirty one point four

49
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: percent ownership.

50
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: He was only sixty one hundred. Bresaw was fifty four hundred.

51
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: That was just way too cheap or dead on on that.

52
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: Our flex play was David Montgomery once again, Monster twenty

53
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: three point nine points volume man sixty five point five

54
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: percent huntership on Montgomery really real quick.

55
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 3: I knew I saw something on a chan he he's

56
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 3: being evaluated for a knee injury right now. Oh so

57
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: it's not good. Yeah, that just came across. I don't

58
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: know if it's good, bad, or ugly, but just a

59
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 3: little nugget their folks, and that's going to be the problem.

60
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: The ability's got to go. Worry.

61
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's why he doesn't get the ball

62
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: whole bunch of times because he's one hundred and ninety pounds.

63
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: His yards for carries like thirty. Yeah, it's insane. Right now,

64
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 3: we have Adams in there, We also have that he

65
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: does well. We had Brandon Ayuk at sixty two hundred

66
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 3: that was not great, but they just destroyed Desroyd so

67
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: he ended up with four catches for fifty eight yards.

68
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: I was joking on the podcast yesterday. I was just

69
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: talking about how good San Francisco is but I equated

70
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 3: the fantasy. It's like they can just kind of pick

71
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 3: and choose. It used to be if Debo or Ayuk's out,

72
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: that's a kittle game. Now they're so good, it's like, well,

73
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: who do we feel like George's birthday today? Let's get

74
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: George three touchdowns? Ayuku in Week one versus Steelers, and hey, Christian,

75
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 3: we'll give you four touchdowns this week and party you

76
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: get four this week and just Oprah handed out stuff.

77
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you get a touchdown and get a touchdown. Zay

78
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: Flowers at wide receiver. He got twelve point three points

79
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: for US five for seventy three. Didn't go crazy couple drops. Yeah,

80
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: it didn't go crazy.

81
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: But everything's real quick. And it's more of you don't know,

82
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: two Andrews and Flowers or it's the whole thing, their

83
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: whole thing because the other guys, I'll stink. Yeah, so

84
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 3: Odell's gonna be a bad investment. And I don't know

85
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: Bateman's ever the same.

86
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: Odell's fifteen million dollars.

87
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: For that, I know, I know brutal Agalar is actually

88
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: okay Agalars. I'll play in those two. Yeah, yeah, we

89
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: had zach Ertz in there, which he got a touchdown.

90
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: He only had two catches for ten yards, but one

91
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: of them was a touchdown.

92
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 3: Thought it'd be the opposite.

93
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was doing a twenty three point one percent

94
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 2: only as a lot from a tight end. And the

95
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: big winner for us the Saints defense. Oh yeah, fourteen

96
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: percent ownership. We had twenty four points out of that. Uh.

97
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: They pitched a shutout. They had a couple of sacks,

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: two interceptions, fumble recovery, a defensive touchdown.

99
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: You get to see Bailey Zappi again. That team's a disaster.

100
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 3: Now their defense doesn't even keep them in games. No,

101
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 3: but that's definitely a when we that's tomorrow or today

102
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: we go through potential streaming defenses. Yeah, anyone playing the Patriots,

103
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: anybody playing well this week is the Raiders. Maybe as

104
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 3: long as not Denver. Maybe Chicago's a made.

105
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 2: I mean, Max Crosbie will get a couple of sat

106
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: their office. They're that junk. They're so bad. Yeah, and

107
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: Mike Jones is just he has nobody to throw to.

108
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 3: Bellichick lost by sixty nine points over the last two weeks.

109
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, two of the work he had his worst loss.

110
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then he had one that was his second

111
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 3: worst loss, right back to back games. You know, they're

112
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: a mess at home at home. Both were home.

113
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: They both were at home. Now they're going to travel

114
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: to Vegas.

115
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 3: They have an awful schedule. Yeah, that's like as good

116
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: as it gets.

117
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: I saw somebody tweeted out one of the longtime Boston

118
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: writers tweeted out, Hey, Patriots fans who are under thirty

119
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: or thirty five or forty whatever it was whatever. He

120
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: aged Patriots fans under forty, this is what it used

121
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 2: to be like back in the seventies and eighties.

122
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 3: You have no idea. Yeah, no idea. No one feels

123
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: bad for that organ.

124
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 2: No, no, not at all, not at all, So good

125
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: good job there by us. We do have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,

126
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 2: seven other people in this contest that we were in

127
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: who had the same exact lineup. They came, they came

128
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 2: and found our lineup.

129
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: Wow, you're ambitious. Don't give you a pat on the

130
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 3: back for that, folks. Stealer fan and azy Pittsburgh sports. Yeah,

131
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: so I can't think Scarpedo thirty one, I didn't know

132
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 3: you listened to the show.

133
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we appreciate that. But anyways, we're gonna take

134
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: a here. Look here at the top by a beer

135
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: next time you see it. Yeah, well, uh, the weekly leaders.

136
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: Here at quarterback Sam Howe.

137
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 3: He's a Fantasy three eighty eight. I don't know NFL

138
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 3: quarterback or what, but he runs and he's.

139
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: He's not gonna be a long term NFL quarterback. He's

140
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: on pace for ninety nine sacks.

141
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: Plus the way he plays, I mean his rushing attack.

142
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: Like your guy Anthony Richardson can't.

143
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: Make it through a game one so far, he's finished.

144
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: Sam how just keeps running his way in the car

145
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: wrecks and he's getting back up at some point. That's

146
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: not gonna happen, no doubt.

147
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 3: And you don't want to be starting him the week

148
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: that happens.

149
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: Of course, we'll kill you.

150
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: But is he a top twelve fantasy quarterback?

151
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 2: No, I can't go there.

152
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 3: He played Chicago, I know, I know, but he's he's

153
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 3: start watch he's not doing that every week. No, he's not.

154
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: He's not.

155
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: It's it's matchup based.

156
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 3: But he's much better for fantasy.

157
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: Like, is he gonna do that when they play the Cowboys?

158
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: No?

159
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 2: Or Eagles or the Eagles? No?

160
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: Probably not. He didn't against Buffalo.

161
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 2: He didn't against Buffalo, he didn't against the Eagles a

162
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago.

163
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he should be in every league.

164
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: Josh Allen had three fifty nine to two touchdowns. He's

165
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: gonna have to do that every week because their defense

166
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: has taken some major.

167
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: Hits and they didn't run the ball at all.

168
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 2: Again.

169
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they cook had like minus four years and I

170
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: think they had like twelve carries in a game that

171
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 3: was close and your defense was ailing. I think that

172
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: was a screw up by them.

173
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: Desmond Ritter had three twenty nine in a touchdown.

174
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 3: And Pitt's was good and London was good.

175
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: I'm not counting on that anymore. Neither.

176
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 3: I still don't think is good.

177
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow had three seventeen and three touchdowns and interception

178
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 2: with sacked three times.

179
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: I think that was it Arizona, me too, But I

180
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: thought he looked healthy, he looked better. Yeah, and he

181
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 3: moved around.

182
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 2: Let me see it. Let me see what he looks

183
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: like after they play Buffalo, and but I'm back to

184
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: start to see. Oh you're gonna start. You probably started

185
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 2: them anyways. I mean, we're you gonna bench your maybe

186
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: maybe I guess that's been really bad. He was really bad.

187
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm sure it was getting too frustrating to

188
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: start him over and over. I hear it. Trevor Lawrence

189
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: had three fifteen in a touchdown. Guess sacks five times,

190
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 2: fumbled twice, did a little bit of there, so.

191
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 3: He's never restarted to Yeah, fewer drops, I mean they

192
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 3: sold a lot of fumbles.

193
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 2: Two Attago Vailoa threeh eight, two touchdowns, two interceptions. Yeah,

194
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts three to Zho three in a touchdown and interception.

195
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 3: They're passing games coming along. Yeah, but then they just

196
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: boa Constrictor year at the end with that run game.

197
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: Those are the seven guys who threw for over three

198
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: hundred yards. Guys who weren't in that group. Kirk Cousins,

199
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes Brock party again with for all of Brock

200
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 2: Party Love seventeen. He was seventeen to twenty four, two

201
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: fifty two. Now he had four touchdowns. Great, that's fantastic.

202
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 2: They just it's the team around him.

203
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: It is. I'm warming up that he's a much better

204
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: player than gave him credit for. I mean, he's leading

205
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 3: the best offense in the league.

206
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 2: I get it. I mean, yes, Brock Purty is the

207
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 2: MVP of the league. Come on, Christian McCaffrey is the

208
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: MVP of that team.

209
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 3: That team, right, come on?

210
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree.

211
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: That's like Frankly, I think Tyreek's the Dolphins m VP, right,

212
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: You two is good?

213
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 2: But those yeah, those guys are playing well. Yes, that

214
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that they're the Just because of the quarterback

215
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: doesn't mean they're the MVP of the team, let.

216
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: Alone the league. Cousins is a good quarterback. He's put

217
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: up really good numbers. Is here Jefferson's MVP?

218
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: Right?

219
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

220
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,199
Speaker 2: Who else wasn't on there? Jared Goff, Bryce Young Golf

221
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 2: played well.

222
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 4: C J.

223
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: Stroud, I mean, Lamar Jackson. It's not a good fantasy

224
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 2: game for him. No, Deelers did a nice job of

225
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 2: shutting him down.

226
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 3: There were some drop dds in the fantasy world or

227
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: what helped.

228
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: So Dak Prescott was awful, brutal, brutal. You're starting to

229
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 2: warm up to the fact that he's not worth that

230
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 2: kind of money.

231
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 3: Mixed feelings. I not to try to skirt out of it.

232
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 3: The Niners own them, own them. And I mentioned Dallas

233
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 3: now has the hardest schedule going forward. And one of

234
00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 3: the problems with Dak is he doesn't run like he

235
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: used to. I'm just for fantasy in particular, and he's

236
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 3: such like a quick processor that they're not taking the

237
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: deep shots, you know, so he's not hitting big plays

238
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 3: for you. The red zone offense has been really bad,

239
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,719
Speaker 3: and he's not running, you know. So it's a bad combination,

240
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 3: even if you're doing all the other things well, which

241
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: he needed none of them.

242
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 2: Yesterday well one hundred yard rushers there were only five, really,

243
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: and we had three of them in our DF. Yah,

244
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 2: we had a bunch of them. Brisall had won seventy

245
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: seven on twenty two carries, Zach Moss twenty three for

246
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 2: one sixty five and two touchdowns a day after Taylor

247
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: signs his contract.

248
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, like who saw that? And who saw that? I mean,

249
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 3: I thought that game was.

250
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: A Tennessee's defense, right.

251
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 3: I don't know that they're not able to start running

252
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: backs against defense.

253
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 2: They have been this year down some good running game.

254
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 3: I look that game, like, boy, Richardson and Taylor are

255
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 3: gonna be so much fun together. It's Minshew and Moss.

256
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, Devin chan eleven and a touchdown, He'll.

257
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 3: Have a stinker one of these days. But he'll be

258
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: he won't be on my bench when it happened.

259
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: Uh.

260
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: Travis atn at twenty six for one thirty six and

261
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 2: two touchdowns.

262
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: He's had a much better year than I expected. He

263
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 3: looks really good doing it too.

264
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: The final one hundred yard rusher was David Montgomery. He

265
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: is money. Montgomery nineteen for one oh nine and a touchdown.

266
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 2: That's every week, every week. I think the fantasy lesson

267
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: there is. There's just some offenses, lines, coordinators you just

268
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: want to be a part of. Follow follow the offense

269
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: is a paid him in the offseason. They give him

270
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: money to come to Detroit. They played against him twice

271
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: a year when he was in Chicago. Great he was.

272
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 3: They've invested like crazy in the O line. Like I

273
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: was worried on my other podcast. I picked the Lions

274
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 3: on Thursday. We did some picks on Thursday.

275
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 2: Then they had it like half their offense was out.

276
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: Say no, they're not going to cover, you know, I

277
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: mean like maybe they'll squeak by. Didn't matter.

278
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: It didn't matter. Guys who missed that where Joe Mixon

279
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 2: was the sixth leading rusher this week with twenty five

280
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: for eighty one.

281
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 3: He still looks bloody me.

282
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, long run of ten yards, that's what he is now. Yeah.

283
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: Alvin Kamara twenty two for eighty.

284
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 3: He looks very good to me.

285
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: Actually, he had a long run of ten.

286
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: I thought he might be shot, but he's good.

287
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 2: Khalil Herbert ten for seventy six, but then got hurt.

288
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: It's gonna be out for a while. Jalen Hurts fifteen

289
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 2: for seventy two in a touchdown.

290
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: Push pushes and stuff.

291
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. DeAndre Swift seventeen for seven, no touchdown ever scores.

292
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: That's the typical line up for DeAndre Ship and he'll

293
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: throw them the football.

294
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: And he's ahead of gain. Well, now, folks, he's the one.

295
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: But he's almost usable because he's like a flex play.

296
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 3: He has a great game and it's a flex play. Yeah,

297
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 3: that's exactly what he's trade him now. Yeah, that's not

298
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 3: gonna change.

299
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Jordan Mason ten for sixty nine and a touchdown.

300
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: That a garbage time Yeah, Yeah, he got a couple

301
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 2: of carries and there here and there, but it was

302
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: garbage time at halftime. Yeah. Julia McLaughlin nine for sixty eight.

303
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: Look good, little guys, little guy. Yeah, explosive guys. Yeah.

304
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: Damian Pierce twenty for sixty six, didn't score.

305
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 3: I think he's back though, after three rough weeks or whatever.

306
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: Raheem Moster ten for sixty five in a touchdown. That's

307
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: just what that that's build is.

308
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's never a week starter.

309
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: H fields At eleven for fifty seven, Isaiah Pacheco sixteen

310
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 2: for fifty five in a touchdown. Minnesota's run defense is

311
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: starting to round into shape.

312
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, well coached. Casey's offense isn't explosive. No, Kelsey's hobbled.

313
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: Kieran Williams thirteen for fifty three. Kind of a down

314
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: week for him.

315
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 3: They had like twenty two minutes a time of possession.

316
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Craig Reynolds got seven for fifty two in a

317
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: touchdown garbage time.

318
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: That's just kind of the yeah, you know, I mean,

319
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: no gibs, no.

320
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: Gibbs that game. McCaffrey nineteen for fifty one in a touchdown.

321
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 2: His long run was eight.

322
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: Wow. I mean that's a very down game for him,

323
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 3: but he still scores. He still I think he scored

324
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 3: every game that he's been a Niner. He is, he

325
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 3: has what do you make of this. Ron Dell Moore

326
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: three for fifty. Yeah.

327
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: Every week.

328
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: It is sort of a Percy Harvin type of way. Yeah,

329
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: you know, not even a debo type of way. He's shorter,

330
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 3: but he's gonna, I mean, we know that.

331
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 2: It gives you a bit of a floor. Yeah, that's

332
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: big help.

333
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson had seven for forty nine. Wilson running for

334
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: forty nine yards. He's a little more fantasy relevant than

335
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: you should you think.

336
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Gus Edwards had twelve for forty eight in that

337
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 2: game against the Steelers. James Connor six for forty six

338
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: but got hurt.

339
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 3: Hurt. Yeah, I hadn't hurt of their backup.

340
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh Amari, it's a stranger. De Mercado, YEAHO de Mercado.

341
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: Then Dean Mercado. That's it. De Mercado.

342
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: It'll be a waiver wire picking up.

343
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: He had ten for forty five in a touchdown, So

344
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: maybe fine should keep it eye on that. Bjeon Robinson

345
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: fourteen for forty six, Tyler algierrad seventeen for forty that's a.

346
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 3: Little bit of a concern. And they threw a lot

347
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 3: and Bijon scored, But you'd like that rush share to

348
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 3: be sixty six percent.

349
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, mentioned lamar At six for forty five.

350
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 2: De Mercado had ten for forty five and a touchdown.

351
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 2: Derrick Henry thirteen for forty three. Him crashing back to

352
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: Earth and spears look good, and Spears is an all

353
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 2: around player. Just as a team looking for weapons, spears

354
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 2: the weapon receiving This week, well there's twelve one hundred

355
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: yard receivers and a couple of guys that just missed.

356
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: Dj Moore eight for two thirty and three touchdowns.

357
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: Teams like a million years ago, but seems like a

358
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 3: million years ago, and you'd think that would be the

359
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: best game of the week.

360
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 2: It was not. That was Jamar Chase fifteen for one

361
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: ninety two and three touchdowns, just barely outpointed them there.

362
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 2: Tyreek had eight for one eighty one on a touchdown.

363
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 2: Pretty good players. Now, DeAndre Hopkins had eight for one forty.

364
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: You could you could throw to the outside against Indianapolis.

365
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 3: They definitely can. Their corners are definitely a funnel. But

366
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 3: Tannehill throws his away. I mean, there are two veterans

367
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 3: that understand the game.

368
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 2: George Pickens six for one thirty in a touchdown, nice

369
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 2: also had to carry for sixteen yards.

370
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 3: He's every week starter now, Yeah.

371
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Aj Brown six for one twenty seven didn't score, though,

372
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: stud Calvin Ridley seven for one twenty two didn't score,

373
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: but also had a couple of carries for like twenty yards.

374
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he had a bad drop. I'm trying

375
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 3: to remember. That was the first leg of the quadruple

376
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 3: header yesterday.

377
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs eight for one twenty one of the touchdown

378
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 2: strong Cooper Cup kind of his first game back, eight

379
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: for one eighteen.

380
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 3: They came out just throwing to him over and over.

381
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, just let's work him in there.

382
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't know if they could support the shape

383
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 3: Nicoa and Nakua and Cup, and I think they can.

384
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: They still only score fourteen points. I know, I know

385
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 2: that's concerning. It is because you got away from doing

386
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 2: what you were doing.

387
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 3: Well and their defense was always on the field. Yeah,

388
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 3: the passing game was fine, but Stafford got beat up.

389
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 2: To Dallas Goddard yeah for one seventeen in a touchdown.

390
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 2: Welcome to the twenty twenty three season there, Dallas.

391
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, and they could have been the point

392
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: like Kyle Pitts even that fed up with this guy

393
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 3: and put him on my bench and then boom.

394
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 2: You probably didn't start him, man, Yeah, four dogs in

395
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: a row. Adam Thielen won eleven for one seven and

396
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: a touchdown.

397
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 3: I think he's real.

398
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 2: You believe it in that one though.

399
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean they're always gonna be losing. They're terrible,

400
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 3: and I mean those garbage time guys are important.

401
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis had six for one hundred and a touchdown.

402
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: I've sold him short. He's more useful than I thought

403
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 3: for fantasy.

404
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: Josh Downs had six for ninety seven.

405
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: He's a good player. Yeah, he's probably more Minshew type player.

406
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: Well, you know, for the next month, here you go

407
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 2: Matt Kyle flipping pits seven for eighty seven. They're not

408
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: gonna throw for three hundred yards every week, of course not.

409
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 2: That's not who they want to be.

410
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 3: No, I don't know. If he's a tight ends.

411
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: I would trade him in a heartbeat right now. Yeah,

412
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 2: but nobody's gonna want him. You're not gonna get him.

413
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: He's had two games in the last two years.

414
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: You need to he needs to shrink two together for

415
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 3: the value to really go up.

416
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: Darren Waller eight for eighty six.

417
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 3: Healthy.

418
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 2: I thought that one was gonna happen.

419
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, where Dano Jones' uh injury situation is.

420
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk had six for seventy eight. He looks good too, Yeah.

421
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: Drake London six for seventy I.

422
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 3: Thought he looked great, but he's always going be held back.

423
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: Logan Thomas nine for seventy seven in a touchdown. If

424
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 2: you're a tight end, you're up against it looking for

425
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: a tight end. That's not a bad Dart throw.

426
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean i'd take him over like an Ertz

427
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 3: or they Eric Banamy wants to throw to the tight end.

428
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 3: That's that's the Kansas City offense. But he's the Kelsey

429
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 3: in that offense. Like they might draft Brock Powers in

430
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 3: the first round. They very well, Yeah, they care about it. Yeah.

431
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: Josh Reynolds four for seventy six in a touchdown.

432
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they didn't do much with Jamison Williams.

433
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 3: Saint Brown was out, Gibbs was out, didn't leave. They

434
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 3: got a lot of mouse out of the kitchen, you know.

435
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: Zay Flowers had to five for seventy three. Samaj p

436
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 2: Ryan had four for seventy three. I'm kind of sneaky here. Yeah,

437
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 2: Pooka and the kup seven for seventy one and a

438
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: touchdown takes four.

439
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, he'd take his numbers go down, but he's still

440
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 3: very fantous with fantasy worthy.

441
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 2: Kelsey had ten for sixty seven in touchdown.

442
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 3: He's not been doesn't say though.

443
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's not been great.

444
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 3: I mean came back from that injury, which I didn't

445
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:16,879
Speaker 3: think he would.

446
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not been a swift recovery.

447
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 3: No, see what he did there? Uh? John new Smith,

448
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 3: so they supported both tight ends in this game. Six

449
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 3: for sixty seven. I think Smith is out snapping pits. Yes,

450
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 3: I think he's kind of like the every down too

451
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 3: because he blocks.

452
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: Remember Arthur Smith, the Falcons head coach, was in Tennessee

453
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: they drafted. When they drafted Johnny.

454
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 3: Smith, he wanted his way to get him.

455
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, Tyler Conklin for for sixty seven.

456
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 3: He doesn't look bad. We talked about that as a

457
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 3: DFS Yeah, yeah, he's more of a DFS guy. Yeah,

458
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 3: he's a good player.

459
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: Not terrible. Kittle had kid only had three catches for

460
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: sixty seven yards, but all three of them were touchdowns.

461
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: That doesn't you'll you'll take the you'll take the outing.

462
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: Of course, but he's I don't know, he's tight end

463
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: one all of a sudden.

464
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: He's more like tight end six this year.

465
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, who's a who's ahead of them?

466
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:19,239
Speaker 2: Though?

467
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: I mean andrews Kelsey Laporta, I would take.

468
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 2: Over him the porter right now. I still think healthy.

469
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 2: I think Waller's still because Waller's definitely getting get targets

470
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: every week.

471
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: He's just you know, I agree, that's about where Kittle's at. Yeah,

472
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: this might be a good time to trade him.

473
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz had seven for sixty five and up a

474
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 2: little bit. Yeah.

475
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 3: Uh, Mark Andrews six for sixty A lot of tight

476
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 3: ends on this list. Yeah, Curtis Samuel had six for

477
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 3: sixty five in a touchdown, and then finally Mike Thomas

478
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 3: was wide receiver thirty here four for sixty five. So

479
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: not many new faces on it is like no hot

480
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:12,440

00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 2: here on Steelers Nation Radio and Matt Bill Barnwell. We

501
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 2: talked about some of those bad teams this year. He

502
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 2: is ranking the NFL's worst teams in the twenty twenty

503
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 2: three season. What has gone wrong with these teams?

504
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, some interesting stuff there, I mean, because some of

505
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 3: them he had I didn't read the whole thing. I

506
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: just saw the list, and then there's a section for

507
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: all of them are they unlucky? Which I thought was

508
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 3: kind of interesting, like.

509
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 2: You kind of make your own luckdow you do.

510
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: But I mean some things like you hit it harder

511
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 3: than on injuries than others. Minnesota's on this list, and

512
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 3: they've lost like an inordinate amount of their fumbles, you know,

513
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. That was the only second of the.

514
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 2: Vikings, and we talked about Disney Oolt's and they went

515
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 2: eleven to zero in one score games last year. Knew

516
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 2: there it was bound it was going to happen, that

517
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: they were going to take.

518
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 3: A back slide, and now it's gone even further though

519
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 3: they've become like the least luckiest team all of a sudden,

520
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: that happens too. I don't think they should be on

521
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 3: this list, Like I think Minnesota is a good for

522
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: He's got them a twenty seventh.

523
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:37,360
Speaker 2: They're better than the twenty seventh best team.

524
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 3: That's what I say. I don't think they should even

525
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 3: be in this conversation. I know the records bad so.

526
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: The teams that he has on here, the Vikings, Patriots, Panthers, Giants, Broncos, Bears.

527
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 2: If you were going to take the Vikings off of

528
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,919
Speaker 2: that list, because I think that's I agree with the

529
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: other ones. Yeah, I'd have the Jets on there ahead

530
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: of the Vikings.

531
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 3: There's funny of teams I could come with over the Vikings.

532
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: But I think there's six bottom. I mean probably you

533
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: know we can't put both New York teams on there. No, yeah,

534
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 3: you're saying, I'm just scanning the league in my head.

535
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 3: I mean, who's worse than the Vikings. I bet there's

536
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 3: five teams I mentioned there. I mean that team can

537
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 3: hang with just about anybody.

538
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the Cardinals should be on there.

539
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: Cardinals should be on there. That's a good one. I

540
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 3: was drawing a blank there for a little like I

541
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 3: think at Minnesota is every bit as good as Atlanta.

542
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 2: The Cardinals. The Cardinals have been They've hung around. Yes,

543
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 2: they beat the Cowboys, but that's it. They've hung around,

544
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 2: and they beat the Cowboys.

545
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 3: And then they get blown out in the fourth quarter.

546
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: The same Cowboys team that got beat forty two to ten.

547
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 2: Last night.

548
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 3: That Cowboys wins not looking Croie as strong.

549
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 2: I mean, the Cowboys got beat worse and I understand

550
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 2: it was in San Francisco. They got beat worse by

551
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers than the Steelers did. And I'm

552
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: not talking even about the score. I'm talking about how

553
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 2: bad the game was. I mean, they had backups in

554
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 2: for the whole fourth quarter. Yeah, it wasn't competitive. It's

555
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: over right, yeah. Uh So for the Vikings, their case

556
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 2: is the worst team in football this according to Barnwell.

557
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 3: I don't think they have it.

558
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: They're not.

559
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: They won't even include them in that list. They don't

560
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 3: have their teams the case.

561
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: What needs to improve The Vikings need to execute in

562
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: the red zone, which is kind of surprising. Here's the

563
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 2: problem though, for the Vikings. They get a couple issues

564
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: justsin Jefferson might be out for a couple of weeks.

565
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: And Hawkinson got banged up.

566
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

567
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 3: I don't know the severity of either. But do you

568
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 3: go another loss or two? If someone offers you something

569
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 3: for Cousins, are you thinking about it? You know? I mean,

570
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,120
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna come back.

571
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 2: They don't have a backup though.

572
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: That's the thing, is you wish like Kellen mand who

573
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: they drafted at least showed signs that he's not on

574
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: the team. You know, he's not in the league. I

575
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: don't think, but.

576
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: Like they don't have They don't have a backup plan

577
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 2: at all, like something, Oh well, let's go with this

578
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: guy and see if if he's the guy for nixt year.

579
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 3: They don't have that Hendon Hooker. Yeah, I mean, like

580
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 3: I thought that shubat a team that drafted somebody in

581
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 3: the second round, or you know, you.

582
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 2: Get the Bears at twenty eight.

583
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 3: They might be the best of the garbage.

584
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:10,719
Speaker 2: I don't know if they are not.

585
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: Their defense. Their defense is horrendous.

586
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: I mean, Justin Fields has to be superman for them

587
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 2: they even have a chance to win, and even then

588
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: it might not be enough.

589
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 3: The offense is coming around though, that's why I said that.

590
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: But the last two weeks, like there are the previous

591
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 2: three weeks, really the offense had scored some points, but

592
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 2: the defense just gives up more. It's bad.

593
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but every one of these teams is really

594
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: really bad.

595
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 2: What needs to improve. The defense needs to get better,

596
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 2: especially in terms of generating a pass rush. They got

597
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 2: Sam how five times? Outside of that or something they

598
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 2: get they'll sack anybody else other than Sam how Like

599
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 2: anybody who plays Sam Howe is gonna see their their

600
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 2: sack numbers go through.

601
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 3: The question about that. No, they need to invest heavily

602
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 3: in D.

603
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: Line Denver, like Sean Payton has to be asking himself

604
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: right now, what in the hell did I come back for?

605
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 2: I picked this.

606
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 3: Well, I threw this out on Twitter just to get

607
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: people's wound up. But I was listening to the football

608
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: Guy's podcast, Cecil Lamb. He does that, he works basically

609
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 3: does what we do for Denver and said they're selling

610
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 3: everybody you know. So I threw it out there and

611
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 3: that guy, I'm not trying to cause waves on this

612
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 3: stuff's not happening. I'm like, what would a cost of

613
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 3: Steelers to go get Justin Simmons or Pat Certain And

614
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: he basically has said on the podcast. I'm like, didn't

615
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 3: you mean to bring that part up? He's like, they'll

616
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 3: trade Garrett Bowles, They'll trade anyone that you want.

617
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 2: From that team.

618
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: Wouldn't either, But I mean, yeah, I'm just saying, like Judy,

619
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: I mean, it's It's what I'm telling you is it's

620
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: over for Denver. Peyton is just getting rid of everybody.

621
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 3: I don't know why you'd ever trade pat Retaine. I mean,

622
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 3: I thought, I don't think make a deal. That would

623
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 3: be the one guy that if I'm him, I'm not trading.

624
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: I'm not trading twenty four year old cornerback then for

625
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 3: first round pickers. That's not gonna happen. But the wheels

626
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 3: might really come off. As my point, Yeah, they can't

627
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: trade Russell.

628
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: They can't trade Russell Wilson. That's the problem. That's they

629
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 2: can't get out from underneath that contract without it costing

630
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: them a bunch of money.

631
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 3: But Peyton just wants everybody out and he's gonna put

632
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 3: his stamp on it. And for better or worse, I

633
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 3: don't know if that's good or bad.

634
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 2: Great that that'll get your another Well, they're gonna be

635
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 2: really bad the rest of the year. They even have

636
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: their first round draft pick this year they have theirs. Okay, yeah,

637
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 2: they're done with trading guys for Russell Wilson. Yeah, Seattle

638
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 2: got the last two though now I might.

639
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 3: Their offense, isn't.

640
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 2: I would have an interest in Jerry Judy.

641
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 3: You know, I have Steelers are just teams in Jenden.

642
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 3: If I were the Steelers, sure, or if I'm like

643
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 3: Carolina I mean Carolina. Oh yeah, they have some assets,

644
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: your Carroll, a lot of You don't have a first

645
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 3: round draft pick to trade for. Yeah, you've already given

646
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: up draft picks to get these, you know. I mean

647
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 3: Cecil wrote me back. He's like a Day two pick

648
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 3: might get you Justin Simmons.

649
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 2: Then you gotta pay him.

650
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 3: He already he's making money. Yeah, he's already got a

651
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 3: big contract and at least the first for certain.

652
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. I'm not doing that.

653
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 3: Oh I would. I mean, that's a make a deal

654
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 3: to me.

655
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: I don't think you're going to get him for a first.

656
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 3: Oh. If they offer me right now, Steelers first for certain,

657
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 3: I'd run to the pody.

658
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's I don't think it's going to be a first.

659
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,719
Speaker 3: They should ask for two. Yeah, at least.

660
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 2: He's the only thing going that they have going for

661
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 2: them on their defense, superstar.

662
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, so, m you shouldn't even brought that up

663
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 3: because I'm so oh tst me. My Twitter feed went crazy.

664
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 2: Uh, New England, they belong here. Might be the worst

665
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: team in football.

666
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 3: Now with the jude On and Gonzalez injuries in addition

667
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: to the others. I mean, their strengths aren't strengths anymore.

668
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 3: They don't have a quarterback, you can you can't blame

669
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 3: the coordinators over and over and over. Their O lines

670
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 3: a disaster. They're probably the slowest skill position group in

671
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 3: the league. They're bad.

672
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 2: They are bad.

673
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 3: The part of me thought Belichick, Tomlin Carroll. They'll never

674
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 3: have a first or top five pick.

675
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't have the fastball anymore.

676
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 3: And they have a really tough schedule, you know, like

677
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 3: they can't pick on the other bottom feeders. I mean,

678
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 3: they're in trouble.

679
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 2: They are in deep trouble. If you saw Bellisic's postgame

680
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 2: press conferences a lot just monotonily mumbling into the into

681
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 2: the microphone in a different way that he's not he's

682
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: not having a good time, Let's put it that way.

683
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: Can imagine what it's like in that building. Yeah, uh,

684
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: not a lot of fun. And that's the other problem

685
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 2: that they have. The word is out now people play.

686
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 2: Veteran players used to go there and take less money

687
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: to get a ring because they had Tom Brady and

688
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. Sure they're winning like crazy, ain't Nobody wants

689
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: to go to New England now and not have fun.

690
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: It could easily turn into like Houston where they're just

691
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 2: bringing in low level league minimum whoever we can get

692
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: type of thing.

693
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: It could get real bad. Or Drake may may end

694
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 3: up there, you know. I don't know if he's back

695
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 3: next year. Yeah, I mean I think he needs three

696
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 3: wins to get the three hundred. I don't know he

697
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 3: gets there. I think he gets there, but I wouldn't

698
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 3: put every dollar I own on it.

699
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: I don't know that he does. I look at the

700
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 2: rest of that schedule.

701
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: I know it's hard. A preseason, it was really hard.

702
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 2: I mean it's not pretty, and I.

703
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: Don't think the win another game division.

704
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: They're one win was over the Jets fifteen to ten.

705
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 3: I'd say they're bet there zero to five in the

706
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 3: division go forward.

707
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 2: They were at least competitive the first three weeks of

708
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 2: the season.

709
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: The defense.

710
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 2: The last two weeks of the season against the Cowboys

711
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 2: and Saints, they have not been competitive.

712
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 3: They've lost with sixty nine points.

713
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 2: They go to the Raiders this week, then they host

714
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 2: the Bills. They're a dog in Vegas, right, yeah. Then

715
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 2: they're at Miami. This is what it's awful, Bills Miami.

716
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 2: Then they get Washington at home. Then they get the

717
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 2: Colts at home. I think you'll get those three at

718
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 2: the Giants. Yeah, there's some coin flips there, at least

719
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 2: Chargers at home at Steelers on a short.

720
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 3: Week, which is nice our audience.

721
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 2: Then they get the Chiefs, then they're at the Broncos

722
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 2: at the Bills, and they get the Jets to finish

723
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: off the season at home, so they well, that's the

724
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: worst thing that can happen to them. Though they get

725
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 2: end up winning like maybe four or five games this year.

726
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: But then you're four and thirteen. You're still picking pretty high,

727
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 3: but maybe not high enough to get one of those quarterbacks.

728
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 3: Maybe though four wins doesn't get your verl high in

729
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 3: the draft, it doesn't get you far.

730
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 2: Well, the problem those teams that are sitting in the head,

731
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: like I don't know if I've got two first round

732
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: draft picks this year, like Chicago and I've already got

733
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 2: my if I let's say Chicago says, you know what,

734
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: we're keeping justin Fields, he's going to be our quarterback.

735
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 2: We're also we don't need a quarterback, so anybody, let's

736
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 2: come up and get a quarterback.

737
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,439
Speaker 3: Oh, we're over for business. We're open for business because

738
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 3: we still go because we still have another high pick

739
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 3: that we can we can take the defensive guy that

740
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 3: we want, the best edge guy that we want to

741
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 3: help our pass rush here, and you got to cut

742
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 3: like if you're the if you're the Patriots, you say, okay,

743
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 3: we'll trade you our next three first round draft picks

744
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 3: like good. And the other thing, too, is with these

745
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 3: teams having the multiple picks, Like I don't think Houston's

746
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 3: gonna pick in the top six or seven anymore, but

747
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,760
Speaker 3: they're not going to pick twenty eighth.

748
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 2: You know, Carolina could be number one once would go

749
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 2: to Chicago.

750
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 3: That's what I mean. Well, I brought up Houston because

751
00:35:55,960 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: Arizona has THEIRS and Houston. Yeah, so okay, we need

752
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 3: a quarterback. Patriots have the third pick overall, I'm picking five,

753
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 3: but I got two first Maya too.

754
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: I don't know that Arizona is gonna be picking five,

755
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like Iris is still better

756
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 2: than Arizona probably, or the Bears or you know, someone

757
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: that has multiple firsts could say we're gonna leap right

758
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 2: ahead of you to take Drake may the second Caleb

759
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: Williams comes off, and then you're stuck without your The

760
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 2: other problem then becomes do you trust Belichick the GM

761
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 2: to choose a quarterback? To choose the right quarterback?

762
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 3: That's actually what Sandos call him today for the athletic

763
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 3: was he does? I think he does like a six

764
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 3: pack or whatever. It's huge topics. Is Belichick the one

765
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: you want to pick the quarterback?

766
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: Bill the GM does not have a good track record

767
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 2: like Bill the head coach is good. I have no

768
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: problem with Bill the head coach. Bill the GM is

769
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 2: the one who got them into this situation either way.

770
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,879
Speaker 2: If they have a top five pick, I don't think

771
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 2: he's back. Yeah, that made for you, And I think

772
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 2: you know the way this happens. I think Kraft goes

773
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 2: to him and says, hey, Bill, I love you, We've

774
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,879
Speaker 2: had a great run together. You can't pick. You can't

775
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 2: be the GM anymore. And somebody else who's going to

776
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 2: be actually doing this stuff and you've got to listen

777
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 2: to him?

778
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's got to that point. Yeah, because they.

779
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,360
Speaker 2: Have the bad contracts and things that they've given.

780
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 3: Out that owners like money.

781
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 2: They are in business to make money and.

782
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 3: They didn't get super rich by being bad at money stuff. Yes,

783
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 3: generally speaking, well, the Patriots have the second most calf

784
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 3: space in the league next year, which is a reason

785
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 3: they could go get Ja C. Jackson. Do you think

786
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 3: mister Kraft's going to be thrilled with John hu Smith

787
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 3: and Hunter Henry and Nelson. Actually, you're just going to

788
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: go buy all these dude and.

789
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 2: Have Max Jones because nobody wants to go there.

790
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, like I'd like my money used a little

791
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 3: better than that.

792
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's just the stadiums in a bad

793
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: like you can't get there.

794
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, players care, Maybe they do, I guess they do. Yeah,

795
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 3: they practice area.

796
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: I'm going to New England. I'm gonna be living in

797
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 2: you know, in the Boston area. No, you're not.

798
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: The stadium is an hour away from there. Yeah. I

799
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: went to college with Ramandre Stevenson. I'll ask him what

800
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 3: he thinks. But yeah, it takes an hour to get

801
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 3: to working back. Yeah, it's like talking to our buddies

802
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 3: work in Oakland or whatever. Yeah, it's still fun. Uh,

803
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 3: Carolinas is they could be for dark years though, New England.

804
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, dark decade. The Panthers are a mess,

805
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 2: a mess, a mess.

806
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 3: They paid a lot for maybe the third best quarterback

807
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 3: in this draft.

808
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and gave up to maybe their best player of

809
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 2: they would have been better off giving up Brian.

810
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 3: Burns, probably for his development.

811
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, and keeping a great you know, because now they're

812
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: they announced last week, Hey, we're we're gonna we're gonna

813
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 2: go get a free agent wide receiver. Next year, you

814
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 2: had a good receiver which you get away for. Yeah.

815
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 3: It reminds me of trade and roque one. And then

816
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 3: because we're not gonna pay linebackers, and then paying lineback

817
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 3: still make the highest paid not as good, he's not

818
00:39:24,480 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 3: quite as good.

819
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, stupid, it's a bad, it's a it's a waste

820
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: of money.

821
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 4: Uh.

822
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 2: And then finally at the bottom spot are the New

823
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 2: York Football Giants, who are just a does day ball

824
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:37,479
Speaker 2: make it out of this year?

825
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, no matter what. But then then it's time to talk.

826
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 3: I think you get a year Lee way after a

827
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 3: really good rookie coaching year. They don't block anybody. He's

828
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,840
Speaker 3: the offensive guy. I'm not defending him. I mean they're horrible.

829
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 3: They probably would be my thirty two.

830
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's standing on the sidelines with a

831
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 2: the glazed look on his face as his offensive line blocks. Nobody,

832
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 2: nobody own his hand picked quarterback. Like, Okay, you had

833
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 2: an opportunity to get away from Daniel Jones in the

834
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: off season. You chose not to.

835
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 3: That's the problem.

836
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: You could have gone in a different direction there.

837
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean this will come up with Kenny, This

838
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 3: comes up with everyone. It's gonna be the fields conversation.

839
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 3: You don't pay tier three, yeah, tier two money, and

840
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: they're paying him forty plus million dollars too, And people

841
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 3: get scared, Yagy, they think too much of I don't

842
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 3: have anybody else. If we don't have you'll get somebody. Yeah,

843
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 3: it's not doesn't mean you you know, you pay triple

844
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 3: the housing market or whatever. You know. Nope, and then

845
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 3: he predictably gets hurt behind no blocking.

846
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 2: It's just awful, Like, what are they gonna look like

847
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,959
Speaker 2: when Tyrod Taylor's back there?

848
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 3: Like, and I like Saquon, Everyone likes Saquon, but your

849
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 3: foundational pieces are basically Saquon and Jones. Neither ones good

850
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 3: financial sense by today's NFL.

851
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, well everybody's paying running backs now, Matt didn't you

852
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 2: haven't you seen him little Spike? Yeah, so we'll see

853
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 2: everybody talks about that and not doing that. But now

854
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 2: they're doing it. Yeah, I mean they're not getting quarterback

855
00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 2: money or anything like that. No, they're getting better money.

856
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 3: I think it's a little more deserving than the analytics

857
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 3: folks will tell you. Don't give them anything, don't give

858
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 3: them a cent. Just pick up a million Jalen Warrens

859
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 3: and yeah, they're not as easy to find as you

860
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 3: think it's.

861
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: If it were that easy, that's exactly what every team

862
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: would do, and that's not what they do.

863
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 3: No. I mean, hey, bring in a bunch of undrafted

864
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 3: ones and hope you hit. But don't make that the plan.

865
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 2: You're going to bring in like six of them, seven

866
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 2: of them, none of them hit.

867
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's not the plan.

868
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 2: Anyways, we're gonna get to a break. He is Matt Williamson.

869
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 2: I am Dale Lalli. When we come back, we'll finish

870
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 2: up the show right after this.

871
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: You were listening to the official voice out Black and

Speaker 2: Welcome back. I am Dale LOLLI he is de Matt Williamson.

877
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 2: And this is the drive on Steelers Nation Radio, and man, man,

878
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 2: I'm just looking at that Broncos roster. Oh it is awful.

879
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:36,840
Speaker 2: It's brutal.

880
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 3: I mean, when you don't have first round picks for

881
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 3: a couple of years and you know, waiting on the

882
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 3: quarterback to save the day, and you have to give

883
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 3: up a first round pick for Sean Payton forget about that,

884
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 3: by the way, you know, by the way, and you

885
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 3: know you got that pick for Chubb and then you

886
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 3: turned that into your coach. It's bad, man. So you

887
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 3: can see why they'd want to blow it up.

888
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I understand.

889
00:42:58,320 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 3: I would never trade certain if I were that.

890
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 2: I mean, he's twenty three years old. I can't I

891
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: can't imagine.

892
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 3: He's a total superstar. It reminds me so much of

893
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 3: the Manka situation.

894
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: Like I can see them saying we can't, We're not

895
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,239
Speaker 2: going anywhere with Justin Simmons, he's thirty, Like, let's just

896
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 2: get it, let's get some get some draft picks here.

897
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:21,760
Speaker 2: What else they got they can do? Like maybe maybe one,

898
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 2: yeah it was one of the receivers. Maybe somebody, because

899
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: you're not going to resign them, but sure they drafted memes.

900
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 2: That's a bad roster.

901
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 3: It's a bad roster. I mean, you just invested in

902
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 3: mcglinchy in the guard. You can't move.

903
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 2: You're not going to trade mcglenchy.

904
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can trade him a big signing, like right,

905
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 3: But somehow you got to find a quarterback. Yeah, it

906
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 3: might be Drake May you know. I mean they might

907
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 3: be that bad this year, especially after selling dudes. But man,

908
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 3: it's dire straight for that team. New ownership just took over,

909
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 3: and hey, they may be the best people in the world,

910
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: but do they know how to run an NFL team.

911
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 3: I mean, they haven't been doing it since my whole life,

912
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 3: Like a lot of teams have, you know. Yeah, I

913
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: yuck yuck is. But I'll take Statin off your hands.

914
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, the right price. I'll take Simmons off your hands,

915
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 3: put him next to Menca. Sure. I threw that out

916
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 3: on Twitter and so many people write me back, you

917
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 3: dumb Steeler fans think that they're one player away from

918
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 3: winning the Super Bowl. I didn't say that. I just

919
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: I'll take certain off.

920
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 2: A twenty three year old shutdown corner. Yeah, why not?

921
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 3: And then I was like they traded for Menca right

922
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 3: after Ben got hurt. I mean, if you're gonna give

923
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,920
Speaker 3: me a young asset like that as opposed to you

924
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 3: the first round pick on a corner. Yeah.

925
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. But anyway, so the Steelers will have a couple

926
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 2: of practices this week before they take the bye week.

927
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 3: Two right to practice.

928
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 2: We'll practice tomorrow, they'll practice Wednesday, and then Mike Tomlin,

929
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 2: as he typically does, would give the players off Friday, Saturday, Sunday,

930
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 2: and then they'll be back on Monday for a little additional.

931
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 3: We tell you this every year, but it's a league rule.

932
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 3: You have to give them three days. Yeah, you can't

933
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 3: just grind them the whole time.

934
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 2: There's a league rule. You gotta give guys time off.

935
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 2: This is not like high school. My coach in high school,

936
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 2: if we were struggling with something, we had three days

937
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 2: during the season.

938
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 3: And we worked that way. We didn't get water. We

939
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 3: had one wet sponge we all had to suck off.

940
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 3: I'd momped the guy's forehead across from me and then

941
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 3: I'd squeeze it into my mind to the Texas heat. No,

942
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 3: it weren't a union or multi million dollar assets either. Yeah,

943
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 3: nobody cared about you.

944
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 2: But in years past, Matt Mike has used that as

945
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 2: an opportunity to uh, young guy practices, those two extra days.

946
00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 2: We're young guy practices.

947
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 3: I was equate the bull practices, like when I was

948
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 3: a You get a whole extra month or whatever. Play

949
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 3: all the freshmen, you know, all.

950
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 2: The guys who weren't haven't played much to this point,

951
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 2: get some extra you know, get some playing time.

952
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,919
Speaker 3: Who is that they've all been playing? Yeah, and it's

953
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 3: not like you got Trubisky and Rudolph that need all

954
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 3: these young guy reps, your quarterbacks to your young guy.

955
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 3: I'm coming trying to come up with names, you know,

956
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 3: maybe two or three of the old linemen, you know Cook,

957
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 3: you know, guys like that out of milk.

958
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 2: Everybody's playing, they're playing. Yeah, they're all playing snaps right now.

959
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 2: And so I'll be interested just to watch it and

960
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: see how Mike handles it this time around.

961
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 3: That is interesting. I'd like to know more about King,

962
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 3: you know, give reps the porter, you know, hey, do it?

963
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 3: Can you over these two weeks, can you prove to

964
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 3: me that you're better or worth taking a risk on

965
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 3: than the guys have been trotting out there right okay,

966
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 3: you know.

967
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 2: Get Broderick Jones some additional snaps at that nature. Yeah,

968
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:50,280
Speaker 2: but yeah, I mean, I I just don't know because

969
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: there's the guy, young guys playing.

970
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 3: Plus a lot of the guys were excited to get back,

971
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 3: aren't ready to practice tomorrow, right, they're.

972
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: Gonna they're not gonna act Deontay Johnson tomorrow. Get out there.

973
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 2: You know, they could they could, you know, start him

974
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 2: practicing tomorrow. They say, okay, we're opening the window up

975
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 2: like you're hoping to get Friar and moves back for

976
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 2: l A. Well, he's not ready for tomorrow. He's not

977
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 2: going to practice tomorrow, of course, So it'll be interesting

978
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 2: to see how that happens. At the opportunity in the

979
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 2: next two days to talk to all the position coaches

980
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 2: offensively and defensive least. This is the only time of

981
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,359
Speaker 2: the year that happens, right, Yes, during the bye week

982
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 2: is with training camp starts, so you're they're kind of

983
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 2: off limits. So some of the.

984
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,239
Speaker 3: Guys are quietly doing a good job and nobody ever

985
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 3: gives them recognition. Yeah, you know, it might be a

986
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,439
Speaker 3: future head coach in that bunch u probably a couple

987
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 3: of different.

988
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 2: No, it couldn't possibly be the case, because everything I

989
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 2: hear is that Mike Tomlin never has any young uh

990
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:50,880
Speaker 2: nobody coming guys.

991
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 3: It doesn't happen exactly. That's the narrative. Sure, I'm sticking

992
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 3: to a fault. It makes my bad coach. Speaking of which,

993
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 3: there was the video making the rounds out there about

994
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 3: Matt Canada. There was a video of him watching the

995
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 3: game winning touchdown, go ahead touchdown on Sunday's game, and

996
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 3: and uh, well he didn't react to a bit. That's

997
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 3: because he didn't call that play. Yeah, he did call

998
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 3: the play, folks. He called the play. They had worked

999
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 3: on that all week long. Play on Wednesday.

1000
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 2: We get this. Look, here's what we're going to do.

1001
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 2: You have no idea what's going on in his ear

1002
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 2: in that situation. Mike Tomlin deciding that they're going for two.

1003
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 2: In that situation, he's.

1004
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 3: Going to come with another play.

1005
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 2: Call now, yeah, right now, you don't have time that

1006
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 2: you're not going to jump up and down and hug

1007
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 2: everybody like you just you knowing the Super Bowl.

1008
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 3: No, you weren't on the one yard line thinking about

1009
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 3: your two point play. You just hit a bomb and

1010
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:46,439
Speaker 3: now I got to come up with my two point play.

1011
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:47,439
Speaker 3: So it's time.

1012
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 2: I'm on the clock here. Is there a flag down?

1013
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:52,560
Speaker 2: Is that? You know what's going on here?

1014
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 3: It's not time to put a party hat on, and

1015
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:57,840
Speaker 3: you know the streamers and you know, come on, you

1016
00:48:57,920 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 3: got a job to do here. And where do the

1017
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 3: point now where we're ripping the offensive coordinator.

1018
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 2: For not celebrating for the touchdown, for scoring a touchdown.

1019
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 3: The touchdown, yeah, explosive touchdown to win the game. We're

1020
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 3: now ripping the court. I do have to laugh though

1021
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 3: in the in the video.

1022
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,600
Speaker 2: I'm watching the video and I'm like looking around to

1023
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 2: see who else is in the in the booth there

1024
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:21,600

1025
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a scout. He's not even a coach. I'm

1026
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 3: sure he has a job, and there's a reason he's

1027
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 3: in that booth. But he's a good guy to be around.

1028
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 3: He should be celebrating, worried about hey what are we

1029
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 3: running next? He's a scout and a great dude, a
