16
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: here with Matt Williamson, and as we do on Wednesdays,

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: and particularly this Wednesday, because of all the early week games,

18
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,039
Speaker 1: we will go over the injury report, who's in, who's out,

19
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: who's got COVID, you know all that good stuff. Um

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: muddled mess. It is a muddled mess. This week. Looking here,

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: Mike Williams no injury designation for that Thursday night game,

22
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: just got cleared. He's playing clear Keenan Allen back off

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: the COVID list, so they're kind of Rashawn Slater is

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: not going to play their left tackle, which is kind

25
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: of a big deal. It's a huge deal. It was

26
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 1: the right side of their offensive line has been at

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: disaster and Slater has been good. The left side is

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 1: Filer and Slater and it was the one thing they

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: could count on up front after investing a ton and

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: he's not there. So he's not there, but Chris Jones

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: isn't there to block, so right, it's the balance, the

32
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: COVID balancing act. You get the scales out. But Mike

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Williams UH didn't blow up quite like I thought he

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: would last week without he got he I think he

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: had six targets. He caught all six. It was like

36
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: six or sixty six. It's not a bad game. I mean,

37
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: we probably got too excited about him the first month

38
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: of the season. So but he's verily talented. He's gonna

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: be a free agent. I still think there's good days ahead. Yeah,

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: um Deebo Samuel Uh with that groin injury. A full

41
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: participant on Wednesday for the forty Niners. But keep running

42
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: them into the line of scrimmage. He's not gonna be

43
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: healthy much long. That's the thing. I mean, they still

44
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell is still and this is on the fence.

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: He's missing practice. He's got a knee and a concussion.

46
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: And Jeff Wilson that as we expected. He's not a

47
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: he's he's just a guy. He's he's San Francisco's Benny Snell, right,

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: and their system makes him look a little better. There

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: are times when those guys are gonna look good. There's

50
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: times when you know, they do play the Falcons this week. Yeah,

51
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: that's true. So it's a prime matchup and they run

52
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: the ball. Well, yeah, if it's defined what that backfield

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: is gonna look like, well, you know, pay close attention.

54
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: I was listening to a fantasy show talking about Deebo

55
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: Samuel and whose people completing about Diebo Samuel getting these

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: these carries not catches, because it's PPR man, What are

57
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: you talking about. Yeah, it's nice that he gets six

58
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: or seven carries in a football game, but he's getting one.

59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: He had one catch, one pass, target, last week. You

60
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: can throw him the ball to one of the problems.

61
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: Not a problem if you're a Niners fan, or if

62
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: you're Jimmy or Shanahan or whoever. Thing that's hurting Deebo

63
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: that way ISOs out of the doghouse and playing well,

64
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: and Kiddles healthy and is awesome. They're not hurting. But

65
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Deebo is still their best guy. Not if he's better

66
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: than Kid, but I mean, you know he's their best outside. Like,

67
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands throwing the football. He's

68
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: such a good runner. You know what happens if you

69
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: get him ten yards down the field on the catch.

70
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: We've seen this the most productive. He's not trying to

71
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: run through defensive lineman to get into the open. It's

72
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: it's kind of special. Give it to a running back. Yeah. Um,

73
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,559
Speaker 1: Carlos High with the concussion did not practice on Wednesday

74
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. That's actually some good news for James

75
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: Robinson fans. They're playing on Xin's playing a Texans. Yeah,

76
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: and that's been a muddled mess to to be kind, Yeah,

77
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: get get hide out of the way, and now Urban

78
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: Meyer has no excuse. Just give it not to play

79
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: James Robinson James Robinson is a really good player, and

80
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: it took me a long time to bite on that

81
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: because he wasn't highly drafted. I didn't know a lot

82
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: about him. The more I watched him, I'm like, that

83
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: guy is a top fifteen player at the position. And

84
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: then Urban benches him and then blames it on the

85
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: running back coach because he had a fumble because he's

86
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 1: the only one turning the ball over down there had

87
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: they drafted a t N when they needed everything else

88
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: in the world and complained about that, saying they want

89
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: to get Airic Tony, Like, what does this head coach

90
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: not do? Right? And they heard this today. I'm not

91
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: sure it's true, but it's real close. Lawrence hasn't thrown

92
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown since like week eight. Yeah, I mean, I

93
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: knew it was bad, but when I heard the actual status.

94
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: Likely he's thrown more to the other team. Oh yeah,

95
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: four of him last week. You know I'm talking touchdowns

96
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: to the other team. Yeah, yeah, it made more Completionsyth,

97
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: it's really bad. We talked about Chris Jones yesterday or

98
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: not Chris Jones Ronald Jones as a possible stash. Yeah,

99
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: he could pay off huge if Leonard Fournette with an

100
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,679
Speaker 1: ankle did not practice today, didn't they. I think Geo

101
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: went to Io's on i R. Don't quote me on

102
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: this either, but I'm almost certain for Net has the

103
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: most touches in the league. I'm pretty getting up there. Yeah,

104
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: Naja Harris was there for a while. They need a

105
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: couple of slow games, and Kamara and Henry average more

106
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: touches by game than Harris. But I think four nets

107
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: right on their heels now. Because he hasn't missed any time.

108
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 1: I must saying he's gonna break down, But it's a

109
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: little more likely ankle injury. He's had a history of

110
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: ankle injuries. That's one of the reasons why. But he's

111
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: no longer a Jaguar. That'd be smart not to practice

112
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: him on Wednesday's going forward and or at least even

113
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: worked Jones in. Maybe he turns into a flex for you.

114
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: He's definitely worth keeping an eye on. Yeah, I mean,

115
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: if I'm the Bucks, even want to think about it.

116
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: If I'm the Bucks and I'm up fourteen with him,

117
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: is left in the game, like Lenny, why don't you

118
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: come over on the sideline? You know? Um? Yeah, Damien

119
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: Harris with the hamstring was limited in Wednesday. On Wednesday,

120
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: that's two days in row. Remember they play on Saturday. Uh,

121
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: that's great news if you got Steve, Yeah, you would

122
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: love to have him be the only guy in the backfield.

123
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: But that question, I mean, like my buddy I'm competing

124
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: with has both root for an injury for airs, you know, right,

125
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean it shocked me. In this game, the Colts

126
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: are favored by two points in this I was kind

127
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 1: of surprised. It is in Indian atmost several in a row,

128
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 1: and you know that kind of stuff. But Vegas doesn't

129
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: think that the Patriots control this game and just run

130
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: it down our throat. And I don't know. I heard

131
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: the over under on the Taylor's rushing totals and they

132
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: were in the nineties. Is that low for him? Below

133
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: for him? For what what what he's been doing? But

134
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: do you think a Belichick coach team, now they did

135
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: give up as we mentioned earlier his previous segment to

136
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: a hundred rushing yards star Titans. But right, no, you're

137
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: not wrong. But do you think you know Jonathan Taylor

138
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: goes over ninety in this game against the Patriots. I

139
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: think i'd picked him to go over ninety in every game.

140
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna give it to him. Yeah, and eventually he

141
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: may break one. It's a bad matchup for him, but

142
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: he still would be right at the top of my

143
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: running back list this week. But you're right, Stevenson would

144
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: be pretty enticing without Harris. Yeah. I mean, if he's

145
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball times absolutely. Uh. Tony Pollard with

146
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: foot injury, did not practice on Wednesday. This is a

147
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: mess because Elliott his numbers are horrible since his injury.

148
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: They didn't give him, They didn't give him the ball

149
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: less like he got He had like nine carries early

150
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, Clement is in there

151
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: running the football. They put Ceedee Lamb in the back

152
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: and then it's like in the fourth court late and

153
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they get Zeke a couple more carries, Like

154
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Like, yeah, I don't think that's

155
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: healthy either. They're they're kind of holding this offense together

156
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: and luckily the defense is put them in a good situation.

157
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: But it's funny. On our podcast today, we were talking

158
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: about playoffs situations, you know, just kind of running down

159
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: where everyone's at. Doubtless might be a team that rest

160
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: starters because they're gonna win that division, right, they probably

161
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: aren't gonna get the one seed. What's the difference if

162
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: we get three or four. We need to get back

163
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: and Elliott healthy. Yeah, I mean that needs to be

164
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: a priority for them. Yeah, that's why you don't have

165
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: your playoff playoff games stretch until the last week of

166
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: the season. That's not a good idea. Uh. Tevin Coleman,

167
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: with a concussion, practiced on Wednesday. They're also expected to

168
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: get Michael Carter back pump this week. I mean they

169
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: actually have backs now, yeah, I mean if Carter's back.

170
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: I know he was a hot name there for about

171
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: a month ago. I guess you don't like everyone likes Coleman.

172
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean these coaches like him. I don't get it.

173
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't need they like him until they have them

174
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,199
Speaker 1: and then they don't use them any thing. It's hurt.

175
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: But Carter might catch five passes. Yeah right, you know

176
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean, he's good. You're looking for

177
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: a flex option playoff game, especially with James Conner not

178
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: practicing on Wednesday and Edmonds is back. Right that Connor

179
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: has been so valuable for fantasy I'd be worried about

180
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: Connor right now, not just because of his injury history,

181
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: but that didn't look good. At the end of the game.

182
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: He's already not practicing. They could probably afford to sit

183
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: him of playing the Lions. Playing Lions are probably winning

184
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: the way. But Edmonds is a great start of Connor's

185
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: right if if Connor doesn't play Edmunds, fire him up.

186
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not jumping on you know, Benjamin or anything

187
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: like the Waiver Wire show yesterday. I knew he was out.

188
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: You know he's out there, but I might expecting much

189
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: from him. Darren Waller, with the knee injury, did not

190
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: practice skin on Wednesday. Again. They play on Saturday against

191
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: well what's left to the Browns, and it doesn't look good.

192
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't look good. I mean, I think you give

193
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: Raiders a bump in this game. I mean, they have

194
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: a much better chance of winning. Much is six points.

195
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: It was like, I think the Browns are favored by

196
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,719
Speaker 1: six I can't imagine that stays. I look today, it's

197
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: it's you take it off at once. The Babel got hurt.

198
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: Our boy renfro though it's not a coincidence. His numbers

199
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: are awesome when Waller's not there. Yeah, I mean he's

200
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: the only show in town. You know. By the way,

201
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: Troy Hill was one of the guys that the bands

202
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: got put on the COVID list. Like that's the Browns.

203
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: He's a decent corner. Oh yeah, they gave him money's

204
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: good player, right, absolutely. Um, I think the Cats out

205
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: the bag. I mean everyone's probably starting renfro at this point.

206
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: But if you have them, you don't want Waller to

207
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: play and you may get eighteen targets. Absolutely, Like he

208
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: still might be undervalued in DFS last week. Maybe they

209
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: bump him up and he's still a bargain. So bargain

210
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: Josh Josh Jacob is actually catching passes to yeah, which

211
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,199
Speaker 1: is useful for him. Uh. Kareem Hunt, speaking of the Browns,

212
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: did not practice Wednesday with the ankle injury. I don't

213
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: think he plays. Yeah. Uh, they're just devastated right now.

214
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: A blockers on. Landry's on the COVID list. All the

215
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: tight ends are on the COVID list. Maybe the joke

216
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: who comes off maybe, But they may have other guys

217
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: I talked to talking to some people, they may have

218
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 1: more guys go on the COVID list. Tomorrow. Yeah, I

219
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: heard that they're getta get tested. They're getting tested every

220
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: day because they're in the Intensive product. I think there's

221
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: seven teams in that Intensive protocol which calls you them

222
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: to get tested daily, and they're gonna mel Garrett running around.

223
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: They might you know, it might not be the worst

224
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: idea if he doesn't get COVID. I know, Chubb's an

225
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: awesome player, but he could be without four of his

226
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 1: starting offensive linemen, maybe even five. He's a rough start

227
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: even with Hunt out of the mix. I mean, I'm

228
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: definitely not paying for him for DFS. No, he'll be expensive.

229
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to play against Hubb this week when

230
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders will put ten guys in the box. Yeah. Yeah,

231
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: it certainly looks like they're gonna be with the backup

232
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: quarterback there, right, That's what I mean with no pass catching,

233
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: and they don't even when they're healthy. Their receivers are

234
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: a problem. You know, Austin Ekel are questionable for that

235
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: game against the Chiefs with an ankle injury. Um, I

236
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: guess thought that was trending towards being a good situation,

237
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: but it's hard to tell with something Thursday games. It's

238
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: a Thursday game, so you have time to at least

239
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: pivot at least if if he don't he doesn't play,

240
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: but don't forget to set your line up and look right.

241
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: You'll know about seven o'clock. Is my question though, is

242
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: if he's out, I'm avoiding Kelly Jackson, you know whoever,

243
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna be like I'm gonna fill this.

244
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: You'll have time to figure something out. I bet you

245
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: can do better if Michael Carter's guys and the Chief's

246
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: is pretty good there there. Of course, you play Akler,

247
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: but don't play the other guys. Mac Jones dealing with

248
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: a thumb injury. He was a full participant Wednesday. Doesn't

249
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: take it. You know the thomb he can hand the

250
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: ball off. He's coming off a bi too. So sure,

263
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: on Mac Jones winning the Rookie of the Year after

264
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: his three past performance. I don't think I can't vote

265
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: for a guy that his own team only let him

266
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: throw the ball three times. I think he's winning. It

267
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: probably will because he's a Patriots a quarter in the quarterback,

268
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,559
Speaker 1: but I don't see other quarterbacks aren't putting any resistance though.

269
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: No um Miles Sanders got limited today, but it could

270
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: be good. It could be very good because Jordan Howard

271
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: also practiced on a limited basis. Jalen Hurts was limited

272
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: today and uh, him and Minshew I guess are splitting

273
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: reps at this point, and maybe there's some gamesmanship. They're

274
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: probably start. Yeah, but I haven't heard some people speculate

275
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: beat reporters that Minshew might come in the game and

276
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: throwing downs. I mean it's hurt starts, so he's a starter.

277
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: Those running quarterbacks. But if he's if he's only gonna

278
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: throw the ball like ten times and just be a

279
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: running back that hurts, like you've got you probably you

280
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: probably got to the playoffs because of Jalen Hurts because

281
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,320
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's been largely a top ten quarterback

282
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: all season long because of the running ability. Now, all

283
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,599
Speaker 1: of a sudden, if they're gonna take him out of

284
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: the game, like if that actually happens, I mean that could,

285
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna cost you five to ten points. So like,

286
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: knowing what you know, now, would you start a guy

287
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: like Fields over him or even like a Burrow or yeah,

288
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean just because you know what they are if

289
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: that's what they're gonna if that's what they're gonna do.

290
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: Plus I mean it's I don't know if they're gonna

291
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: do that or not, but I mean it's been it's

292
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: an ankle injury for him too. Is he gonna run

293
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: as much as he typically does? Maybe the running backs

294
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: really the guy to own in that offense. Yeah, you know,

295
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: for this one side note, because we often equate what's

296
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: his face the Saints quarterback Taysom Hill Hill and Hurts similarly,

297
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: I just want to throw us out there because Taysom

298
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 1: Hill has started six football games, and every one of

299
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: them he's been a top twelve fantasy producer. I mean

300
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: it's and he's not good. He's not good, and he's

301
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: not good and can't complete passes. I mean to think that,

302
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: like what Brady's doing is remarkable to not be a

303
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: runner and be near the top. I mean, you gotta

304
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: throw five touchdowns a game to keep up these guys.

305
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: Do he does? Right? Uh? DeAndre Hopkins with a knee injury,

306
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: out for the rest of the year. I wonder, I

307
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: mean just football related. Could he be there for the playoffs? No,

308
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: it looks like they're shutting them down for done done,

309
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: done done. He hasn't been what he used to be,

310
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: but he still demands attention. It does give you a

311
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 1: little more clarity with their receiving options like A. J.

312
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: Green and Christian Kirk now become. They go from being

313
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: fringe wide receiver threes maybe not on your roster right

314
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: um to now those guys are both startable on a

315
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: weekly basis. Tyler is a great passer. I mean, Rondel

316
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: Moore probably gets a bump as well. Urtz is already

317
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: in your league, but he definitely gets a bump. He's

318
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: reliable and he's been really useful for those guys. So yeah,

319
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: if I mean, if if anything, just a trick, if

320
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: those guys are on your on your waiver wire right now,

321
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: you should would scoop one up. I would scoop him up,

322
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: you know. And there might be one week it's a

323
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: Cark week, one week it's Green week. But still the

324
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: lows won't be as low anymore, right, you know, I

325
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: mean at least as you know, potential flex option with again,

326
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: you never know with COVID what's going to happen here.

327
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: Those are good guys, say Kwam Barkley with the ankle

328
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: did not practice on Wednesday. Doesn't he feel like he's

329
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: just always one of them the rest of his career,

330
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: always a Wednesday off? Yeah, I don't know that you

331
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: can trust him either at all. Where does he get

332
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: drafted next year? Man? Not on my team? Not to me.

333
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean I could easily come up with twell players

334
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: I'd pick ahead of them. He may he may be

335
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: back and be the best running back in the league

336
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: next year. I'm sure that'll be the headline. But he

337
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: won't be on my roster right, I don't trust him

338
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: at all. I don't trust the I don't trust him,

339
00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: I don't trust the offense. It could be a new coach,

340
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: a new quarter back, first round offensive lineman. I'm not

341
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: paying whatever his cost is what I didn't want to

342
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 1: do it this year. Like adp is, I'm I'm over that.

343
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: I could have taken him in the second round. I

344
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: know he went the late first round in my drafting

345
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: like that. She went like seven or eight. Now that's

346
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: a mistake. That's it's it's it's tantalizing. I see the allure,

347
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,400
Speaker 1: But man's I might hit you my wagon to that. Yeah, absolutely,

348
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: um yeah. David Baktri returned to practice on Wednesday for

349
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: the Packers. Boy, that would be a welcome They need that. Yeah, no,

350
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: no doubt. That would be a big one to get back.

351
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: You don't often to mention offensive lineman here, but man,

352
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 1: they have none, they have none. I think that really

353
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: backs your point yesterday that Rogers should be the m

354
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: v P. I mean, Brady might be behind the best

355
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: offensive line in the league without a doubt, with a

356
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: bunch of weapons too, But I mean just the old

357
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 1: line thing that people overlook. I mean, what Rogers has

358
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,959
Speaker 1: done with the makeshift group is unbelievable. Yeah, Taylor Heineke

359
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: said his elbow felt good during Wednesday's practice. Yeah, they

360
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: play the Eagles, right, I mean, I'm sure you can

361
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: do better as a starter. Um. McLaurin also didn't practice

362
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: no shock there. He's in concussion protocol, so that could

363
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: still change. That can still change, but has that it's

364
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: not a quote bad concussion. If he's back, do you

365
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: start him with Kyle Allen at quarterback? I'm not he's

366
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: probably don't real I don't love that. Again, he's you know,

367
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: he was probably no worse than your wide receiver too,

368
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 1: going into the playoffs, and then all of a sudden

369
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: you're like, this is why your stash guys like and

370
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: speaking to concussions on that team, it sounds like mkissick,

371
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: we'll be back. Yeah. That's been a couple of ye like,

372
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: would you rather start McLaurin coming off the concussion with

373
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen at quarterback? Or would you rather start a

374
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: j Green against the Lions Against the Lions. I know,

375
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: I get all that. I can't go quite that low

376
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 1: on McLaurin, but it's a strong point and it's a conversation. Yeah, Um,

377
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: George Kittle has some knee soreness. He did not practice

378
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. George Brutal, Yeah, he's got there. There's with

379
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,479
Speaker 1: a love Kittle the player, but there's some like some

380
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 1: early gronk there yeah where Yeah, I mean you get

381
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: the old boy. When he plays, it's great. But when

382
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,720
Speaker 1: he he's gonna miss time, yeah or whatever, without question.

383
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the only negative on the player rights.

384
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 1: Availability is the best ability. Um Matt Role said he

385
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: expects d J. Moore Uh to play in Week fifteen

386
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: against the Bills. Obviously been pretty good despite the quarterback

387
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: problems they they designated Sam Donald return from the and

388
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: was about to mention that does that do you think

389
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: he plays this year? It's not like the other two

390
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: are lightening it up. You have a lot invested in Donald.

391
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: Why not? I mean, I know he was really bad

392
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 1: add but these guys haven't been really better. You could

393
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: throw him out there and say, hey we have early

394
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: in the season, the first couple of a few weeks

395
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: of the season, he looked okay, yeah, it's okay. Maybe

396
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: he comes back and does that and then say, well,

397
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: look that was just a bad stretch for him. Look

398
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,680
Speaker 1: at look at the beginning and the end, and then

399
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: you can trade him or your glue to him and

400
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: you keep him in use a second on pick on

401
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: the quarterback, the first round pick on the quarterback. You know,

402
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't kill you to maybe putt maybe try

403
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: that again. Yeah, well you're not going anywhere. No, pretty

404
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: soon as time to shut that one down. Yeah. Emmanuel

405
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: Sanders with a knee injury, did not practice on Wednesday.

406
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: That doesn't think he's going. That doesn't look good. As

407
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday, Gabe Davis gets a bum um.

408
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: I know it's a small aspect of the position, but

409
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: they're doing everything they can to at least try to

410
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: run the ball. Gave Davis helps more than Sanders doff like,

411
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 1: maybe that's a permanent replacements my point. Yeah, are you

412
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 1: rolling with the tight end this week? Yeah? Oh yeah, yeah,

413
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,400
Speaker 1: he's I think he's the top ten guy every week,

414
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: guardless opponent. No Legarius Sneed for the Kansas City Chiefs

415
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: and another another defensive injury there against that explosive past.

416
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be a shootout. I guess we

417
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: can talk more about tomorrow. I know the Chiefs of

418
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: like everybody, the Chiefs are only giving up nine points

419
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: a game. And okay, they played they played the Packers

420
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: without with Aaron Rodgers. They played Denver. They played the

421
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: Raiders last week where the Raiders just the Raiders. That

422
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: game was over in five minutes. I had to laugh today.

423
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: So David Carr puts out his mid season Pro Bowl

424
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: team was Derek one or two this week? And he

425
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: puts out there, I know Derek is the Raiders offensive struggle,

426
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: but he's second in the league in passing yards. He

427
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: has like five touchdown passes and six interceptions in the

428
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: last eight weeks. I mean, I'm a fan. I think

429
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: he's a good player, not a great player. But you

430
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: can't not excuse him, you know, from all these things,

431
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,399
Speaker 1: right he's I mean, their their offensive a little broken

432
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, and no Kittle by the way, it

433
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: doesn't help Waller, right yeah. And the line is bad

434
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: and right yeah. So you know. Anyways, Melvin Gordon did

435
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: not practice on Wednesday with the hand injury. Again. He

436
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: played through that on Sunday. This is probably just more

437
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: of a maintenance thing to no reason to have him

438
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: do a whole lot because there was a chance there.

439
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Early in that game, people thought he might not come back,

440
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: and he came right back and was really good, and

441
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: Javante Williams owners got all excited. Yeah, I sure did, Yeah,

442
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: and end up being a good dame. I mean, I

443
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: still count both those guys as fantasy starters. I traded.

444
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: I drafted both Javante Williams and Melvin Gordon. People laughed

445
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: at me for taking Melvin. Got Melvin Gordon like the

446
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: thirteenth round. He had no value, He had no value,

447
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: and then I was able to flip them for Jonathan Taylor.

448
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: And I still feel like I got the better of

449
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: the deal by far. I mean, I know we don't

450
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: talk dynas much here, but I did a dynasty start

451
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: up the summer. I got him in like the twentieth round,

452
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: like he's dead, I mean, starting him half the time.

453
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's good, He's been good. I mean there's

454
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: a Yeah, there's a reason why Javonte Williams can't be

455
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: a full time player. It's not Melvin Gordon's done nothing

456
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: wrong and they said nothing wrong. Williams is very impressive.

457
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: It doesn't take one thing away from him. But yeah,

458
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: they got two good ones. Uh. Joe Burrow did not

459
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 1: practice today because of that finger injury. Again, that's a

460
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 1: pinky on his throwing hand. That's again that won't be

461
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: an issue. Um. Hockinson with a hand injury did not

462
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: practice today for the Lions. That's a little concern. Yeah,

463
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: I keep an eye on that one that held him

464
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 1: out last week. The Swift isn't one to It looks

465
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: like Williams will be back. Um, Craig Reynolds, mm hmm.

466
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: Only if Williams and Swift are you both have to

467
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: be out? Yeah? Um, I mentioned Sam Donald. Josh Allen

468
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: was limited in practice on Wednesday. I'm not brushing that

469
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: off that, yeah, because if he doesn't run right, he

470
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: didn't have the value that he typically would. I mean

471
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 1: he left that game in the boot. I like, he

472
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: has a an injury and will probably play through it.

473
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: But don't let's say he runs half as much as

474
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: he did before or and then they're not protecting well.

475
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: I mean the mobility is a big key for him

476
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: right now. Conversely, do you have any interest in any

477
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo running backs because of that? If if

478
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: if they came out, if they came out and said

479
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary's gonna gonna be our starter this week. He's

480
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: gonna get the bulk of the carries. Okay, but they're

481
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 1: not going to But they're not going to say that.

482
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: And in the ballk that carries might be eight of

483
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: the ten. I think, you know, if if Alan is compromised,

484
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: I think he's compromised. At my point, I mean, I'm

485
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: not saying he's not gonna play. They're playing the Panthers.

486
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: Panthers can rush the passer. Says true for Lamar. I

487
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: mean those guys are compromised. They may play, but they

488
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: are compromised. Same thing with Jalen Hurts. Yes, I mean

489
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: these running these running quarterbacks are all breaking down the

490
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: same time. This is one of the problems with the

491
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: running quarterback. And it's all ankle injuries. That's three foot

492
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: slash ankle right right, Like it's a problem. No, they've

493
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 1: taken a lot of punishment those three guys this year. Yeah,

494
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: speaking which Lamar was limited today, I don't think he's

495
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: gonna play. I don't think they win with or without them.

496
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,959
Speaker 1: It doesn't it that way, but I don't think they

497
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: win with I don't think they're even close without him. No,

498
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: like I think that spreads like six or seven. Yeah,

499
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: at home there at home. I mean I'll lay the

500
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: points with Lamar. Without them, I might bet the mortgage,

501
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: really mortgage. Don't tell the white Uh you have any well,

502
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna mention case Keenum any interesting. I

503
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: have No passing game is not gonna be good no

504
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: matter what. It's not so dum stable. I don't know

505
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: you mentioned Chubb. I don't know that there's a Brown

506
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: that's gonna be startable. That's unfortunately, even your defense, like

507
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: you're so happy you have Chubb and Hunts out. It's

508
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: like perfect, not now, not now, and again if everybody

509
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: gets cleared, he can't start their defense this week. We

510
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: talked about them the other day, like, oh, they might

511
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: be a sneaky start this week. They've been pretty STINGYTT

512
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: might have five sacks. They run the ball like crazy,

513
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: you know, but they're missing their slot corner. They're missing

514
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: a linebacker. I think both defensive tackles were out there.

515
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: Questionable clown. He's on that list to its newsoms already out. Yeah,

516
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: he has a concussion. We'll see again. It's a short

517
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: week for him because he got he suffered the concussion Friday.

518
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: Last Friday, the last play in practice he suffered. He

519
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: landed hard and hit his head. You know, that's barely

520
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: a full that's my that's you might as well suffered

521
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: it on Sunday. Yeah, it's not much different than mclaura

522
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: and one of those guys have just had it. Now,

523
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: you're right, Wow, they're in trouble. They're in trouble. They're

524
00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: in trouble. I mean, even if half those guys get

525
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: clear and think I've heard something today, weather is going

526
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: to be a factor in that game. Uh, there's some

527
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: potential Cleveland in December. Part of me thinks that helps.

528
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 1: The Browns just handed the Chub into a brick wall

529
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: and hope you win seven three or you know. I mean,

530
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,479
Speaker 1: Jacobs can do the same thing, the same thing, right,

531
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: and they get a healthier offensive line. They do. They

532
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: got block Garrett, but as long as he says he

533
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: just run away from him. I put Garrett in a bubble.

534
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: Garrett and Chubb they need to be like, yeah, bubble

535
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: boy and put him out in the lake in a

536
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: boat like separately. You guys just paddle in when the

537
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday, Saturday or something give him some m R

538
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: rees and send him out the exactly right. Don't go

539
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: near any don't go near anybody any chance of winning

540
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: this game. But anyways, that's gonna do it for the

541
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,480
