Get Mike at Swollendome. 11 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,240 Speaker 2: You can find me at Dan Byer on Box. Ian 12 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,360 Speaker 2: Roddy as our executive producer, you can find him at 13 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: Ian Roddy Underscore. And it's funny, Mike, because Ian and 14 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: I were talking just prior to the podcast as your 15 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: step out of the studio, and Ian said to me 16 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: one good game on Monday Night and one bad one. 17 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: And I didn't know which one he was talking about, 18 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 2: because I think he could make a case for both 19 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: of them in both of those scenarios. But that's what 20 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,759 Speaker 2: we got in week seven's doubleheader. 21 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 3: No, and that's it, right, It was a blowout until 22 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 3: it wasn't. When we were talking about the Ravens and 23 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 3: the Buccaneers, Buccaneers being plucky in the comeback effort in 24 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,760 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter. And we'll get into the particulars in 25 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: a second. But the other game, Look, if it's close late, 26 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: that constitutes a good game, right, or at least that's 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 3: what I'm told, even if it's like watching paint dry. 28 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 2: For I'm gonna need to clarify because I still am 29 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: not sure exactly what we were I want to hunt sutt. 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,320 Speaker 4: I won one hundred percent. Was talking about the Ravens game, 31 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 4: just the high scoring points, So that was what you were. 32 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 3: Just excited about the over Okay. 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 5: Sure, I don't. I don't know. So the low points 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 5: didn't do it for me in the other one. 35 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: So the Ravens Buccaneers game was your good one for 36 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 2: Monday night. 37 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, let's not call it one of the 38 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 4: games of the year or anything. 39 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 2: No, no, but at least it had some fantasy. 40 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 3: Relevent not a fan of Dicker the Kicker, Huh. 41 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of those skyboxes they tried to 42 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 2: put into the end zone. If you've seen that. I 43 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 2: think we got a few looks at it because of 44 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 2: the field goals. But Arizona that open end where they 45 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: wheel in the field, They've really not been able to 46 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 2: do anything with it, and so it's just that open 47 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: ended part of the field. And they put like these skyboxes, 48 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: these club seats, but they're not big at all, so 49 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 2: it doesn't take up any room. Just so weird. 50 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 3: And their uniforms sucked. 51 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: Didn't like the black one. 52 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 3: I don't like the black ones. It doesn't pop for me. Sure, 53 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 3: you got so many other color combinations that work, and 54 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 3: I get it. Black uniform it's it's an easy sell 55 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 3: because everybody will wear a black T shirt, black jersey, yes, right, 56 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 3: it's you know, fits into any wardrobe nice and easily. 57 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: I'm not as offended as much by the Cardinals as 58 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 2: I am, say when Ian's Jets wear them. You didn't 59 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: like those, No, I didn't like them. 60 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 4: I mean they're not even in the wardrobe anymore. That Yeah, 61 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 4: they changed to the throwbacks, but actually that was one 62 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 4: of the few that I liked, was the all blacks, 63 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 4: all whites. 64 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 5: I didn't like the green ones when they had those. 65 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not I'm not a fan with the overuse 66 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: of black Eagles. One is awful. So they're the ones 67 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 2: that they wore in Brazil are just atrocious. But anyway, 68 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 2: I digress. At least the Chargers looked good. 69 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 3: They look good. A lot of powdered blue in the 70 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: crowd too, Yes, yeah, and then well, I mean look 71 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 3: justin Herbert throws for three forty nine the Jalen riger 72 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: right off the jump. One of the controversial plays in 73 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: that game was he out of bounds before the fumble? 74 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 3: Was the other guy out of bounds before you recover? 75 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 3: Like all of that to say, there was your opportunity otherwise, Uh, 76 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 3: they've actually they've got no closers right now. You know, 77 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: we've been talking a lot about Baseball get ready for 78 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: the World Series. They've got no closer in the red zone, 79 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: no closer to finish out drives, And right now it's 80 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 3: coming back to buying them. As much as that defense, 81 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: I joke that they're basically pitch West. 82 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: Listen, I'm you know, I'm not a huge Harball fan, 83 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: but I'm at least giving him a break in terms 84 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 2: of how they're reshaping this organization. I think your skill 85 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 2: people and everybody that you have on the outside, both 86 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: at the running back position, because let's face it, you know, 87 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: it's not like JK. Dobbins was a sure bet. 88 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 3: No reclamation project that he took from his brother. Ye, Hey, 89 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 3: are these guys good? Yeah, yeah, they're gonna be great. 90 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 2: The Gus Bus you know, even though he's dinged up 91 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: as well, he's on the ir Now, yeah, we knew what, 92 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: we knew what they were kind of bringing in, and 93 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 2: they just didn't. They didn't have much on the on 94 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: the outside, even with drafting Quinton Johnston you know, in 95 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 2: the first round and yeah, now he's not available. So 96 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: it's just uh yeah, it's it's a tough goal for 97 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: the Chargers at the skill positions. 98 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just tough when you've got a defense that's 99 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: that good and flying around and getting you off the field. 100 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 3: You got a kickers all worldwide. Fifty nine was the 101 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 3: first one. So we're talking about, you know, the super 102 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 3: toe phenomenon continues and that offensively you can't close out 103 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 3: possessions and you know, field goals are gonna lead you 104 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 3: to bad space. I mean, Justin Herbert is unplayable right now. 105 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I had to plan this week because of just 106 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 2: Justin fields got benched, and it's. 107 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, injuries and buys. Yeah, he'll find his way there, 108 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 3: but I find it hard pressed that I'll ever rank 109 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 3: him in the top twelve. Yeah, as it stands right now. 110 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 2: I think they're the opposite as a team almost of 111 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: last year, where last year they had names and flashy stuff, 112 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: but it wasn't translating into production and their defense really 113 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,279 Speaker 2: wasn't good, and now it's just a complete one eighty. 114 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 2: I still like them as a team. I just know 115 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 2: it is kind of fantasy wasteland. You're right about that, Like, 116 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 2: there's there's no point if we're on a fantasy podcast 117 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 2: and talking about them fantasy wise, there's no point to them. 118 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 2: I still think I think they're gonna still the playoffs. 119 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: I know Monday Night wasn't great for them, but Fantasy 120 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: Wasteland with the Chargers Cardinals are interesting. There is just 121 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 2: still something off with Kyler Murray and Marvin Harrison Junior. 122 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 2: You can never question James Connor. He is fricking amazing. Yeah, 123 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 2: maybe amazing is not a strong word, but I think 124 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 2: when you watch James Connor, you just have this appreciation 125 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: of who he is and what he does, so you know, 126 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 2: that's unique on the Arizona side of things. I just 127 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 2: I'm curious about them, Mike, because we saw them get 128 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 2: blown out by Green Bay, but that was two weeks 129 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 2: after They're crazy comeback against the forty nine ers, and 130 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 2: really it's kind of been on Kyler's legs like that's been. 131 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 2: You know, you had the run against the nine Ers, 132 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: you had the run on Monday Night against the Chargers, 133 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 2: But not everybody is feeding like you kind of thought 134 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: they would in Arizona. 135 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 3: This year, Ellen McBride was limited and you expect I 136 00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 3: didn't expect a massive game given the opponent, but I 137 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 3: think he finished with what five points for the night? 138 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, which five on fifty one. 139 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, So you know, PPR leagues get you, get you 140 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 3: a little bit of juice, but overall, you know, not 141 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 3: the impact that you're anticipating him giving you for the week. 142 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 3: In PPR leagues, you know that that will get you 143 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: a solid effort, but not to you know, the the 144 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: heights that we we'd anticipated coming into the year. Harrison 145 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: Junior coming back off the concussion, You're you're hoping, if 146 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: nothing else, you're gonna pile up some receptions and then 147 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 3: Wilson you know, has popped up once or twice on 148 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: the year, but there's just no level of consistency. It 149 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: still begins and ends with Connor's play and the fact 150 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: that he can be so elusive in the open field 151 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 3: despite being the smash mouth guy in between the tackles 152 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: is really uh, it's a lost art, Dan. I mean, 153 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,679 Speaker 3: we've got very few guys that we get to watch 154 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 3: do those kind of things, but everything else hinges on 155 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 3: for fantasy purposes. Kind of Murray getting the wheels going, 156 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 3: which he did early and that he did again late 157 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 3: to put you to the promised Land. 158 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: We transition from the good game to the bad game, 159 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: or the bad game to the good game, depending on 160 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 2: what you like. In the Ravens take care of the 161 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: Buccaneers seventy two points overall scored in the game. The 162 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 2: Ravens obviously jump out to the huge lead. Buccaneers try 163 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 2: to make a comeback late, but it comes at an 164 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 2: enormous price because Chris Godwin with a dislocated ankle, Mike 165 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: Evans hurt earlier in the game, Buccaneers are banged up. 166 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 2: Not only do they take the loss, but now you've 167 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 2: lost two enormous pieces to that offense. 168 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, you start looking around, going all right, where are 169 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 3: you going to find some help? Because the Evans thing 170 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 3: without a diagnosis and update, as we record late Monday, 171 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 3: sounds like it's going to be a week to week 172 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 3: proposition that there's no Hey, a couple of days of 173 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 3: treatment's going to get him back and ready to go. 174 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 3: So this does he get relegated to in a red 175 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 3: zone specialist? You know down the road, right? Is that 176 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 3: where we're headed? And for Godwin, you know, he just 177 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 3: would Everybody was doing the lip reading as he was 178 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 3: carted off the field, basically just saying back to work, right, 179 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 3: he's depending free agent. Dislocated ankle was the initial discussion 180 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 3: to it all. And so now you lose a guy 181 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 3: who look I owned him in pretty much every fantasy 182 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 3: league I'm in. So it's and you could feel it, right, 183 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 3: the yak and explosive plays and all of that. Now 184 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 3: it goes to Sterling Shepherd, Jalen McMillan and a little 185 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 3: bit of Trey Palmer, and I got to imagine they're 186 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 3: looking around and saying, all right, a couple of the 187 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 3: big chips are already falling off the board in terms 188 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 3: of receiving. We're gonna need more than what we can 189 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: get out of the Rashad White, Bucky Irving, Sean Tucker 190 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 3: trios receivers out of the backfield. So you know, Tampa 191 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: Bay becomes one of those potential buyers in the next 192 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 3: week and a half trying to figure out where there's 193 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 3: depth at wide receiver with two big chips already off 194 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: in Adams and Cooper. 195 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: There's two ways you can look at this. With the Buccaneers. 196 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: You can say, well, the Saints and Panthers really don't 197 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 2: seem to be competitive in this division, so we just 198 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 2: have to beat the Falcons. But that is also then 199 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: the reason where you're like, Okay, we need to just 200 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 2: go out and get somebody, because all we have to 201 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: do is beat the Falcons. You just can't. You can't 202 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: be in shorthanded. I mean, it's one thing to lose 203 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 2: one guy. To lose your top two guys, I don't 204 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 2: know how they're going to be able to change, but 205 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: I still think Tampa it's gonna be Tampa or Atlanta 206 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 2: in that division. And Atlanta didn't show anything in Week 207 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 2: seven and they're lost to Seattle, and I just don't 208 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: think the Saints are going anywhere in the Spencer Rattler era, 209 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: and the Panthers are the Panthers. So it's such an 210 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 2: interesting spot for the Buccaneers to be in because who 211 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: thinks to lose your top two guys. By the way, 212 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: do you think Godwin should have been playing at that point? Yeah, 213 00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 2: you think so. Yeah. 214 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,720 Speaker 3: We talked about it a little bit on the actually 215 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 3: quite a bit, just kind of going back because the 216 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 3: anger in vitriol started is like we've seen the Ravens 217 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 3: collapse in prior games. Now if they'd shut them down 218 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 3: after three quarters where they're still getting housed, Okay, minute 219 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 3: thirty four, they're moving the ball. Well, one explosive play 220 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: we've seen the Ravens. They splashed it up on the broadcast. 221 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 3: There have been three on side kick attempts against them 222 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: this year. Two have been successful, including one earlier in 223 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 3: the game. Like, you made it a game, so finish 224 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,599 Speaker 3: it out and it's just an unfortunate thing. It was 225 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 3: funny because Troy Aikman on the play prior was talking 226 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: about how in those circumstances Jimmy Johnson would just release 227 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 3: the hounds and blitz the hell out of the quarterback. 228 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 3: Just saying all right, you want it, you got it, 229 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 3: and you saw Baker Mayfield under durest the play before 230 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 3: Godwin got hurt. I think it's just, you know, an 231 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 3: unfortunate circumstance ants and in a ten point game in 232 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 3: the final couple minutes, I'd still be playing it out 233 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 3: like if you were gonna throw the flag and say 234 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 3: live to see another day, that would have been when 235 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 3: it was thirty four to ten. 236 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I and I think fantasy wise too, were like 237 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 2: good garbage garbage time. And I'm not trying to light 238 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 2: of an injury, but we're looking at it saying like, 239 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 2: oh yeah, great, you know here's good. And for those 240 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 2: who had Godwin Evans was hurt. So I guess who's 241 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 2: gonna get those targets, right, It's gonna be Chris Godwin, 242 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 2: That's who you're looking for. But yeah, I agree with that. 243 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 2: The question that I just have, like in terms of 244 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 2: the comeback aspect, because you you brought that up with 245 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 2: the Ravens. When are team's gonna decide all right, it's 246 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 2: it's not gonna be our night. It's kind of like 247 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 2: you when you leave the pitcher in Mike because you 248 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 2: don't want to waste your bullpen. 249 00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 3: Sure, or in the NBA, where we've seen plenty of 250 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 3: teams just say it's a seven game series. We're getting 251 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 3: beaten out the gate. We're done. 252 00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a back to back, we played them. 253 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: Guess what, you know, we're down fourteen in the third quarter. 254 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: We'll just mail this and we'll come back tomorrow night 255 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 2: and figure that out. I just wonder if that would 256 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 2: ever happen in the National Football League, if you get 257 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 2: to that point, which would be awful for the league, 258 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 2: if you're sitting there punting on games in the third quarter, 259 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 2: but when you're down forty one to eighteen, like the 260 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: Buccaneers were at one point, would give you maybe pause 261 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 2: to be like, okay, that's maybe time for us to 262 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: maybe just hang this one up. They didn't scored a 263 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: couple of times and then now lost your other top 264 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 2: wide receiver. Just thinks for them Ravens wise, My goodness. 265 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 3: The feast, I mean Rashaan Bateman, former first round pick. 266 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 3: He's running free in the secondary and giving you a 267 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 3: little bit of hope that that becomes a more consistent 268 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 3: opportunity going forward. So you got to be excited there. 269 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 3: The tight end. Okay, not Isaiah likely, he didn't give 270 00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 3: you anything, but you know you're looking at an opportunity 271 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 3: from Mark Andrews. A couple of weeks ago, we joked 272 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 3: about it when Harball had to go out of his 273 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 3: way to say, hey, a lot of pancake blocks out 274 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 3: there for Marcan. I don't care about his pancake blocks, 275 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 3: damn it. I need him to catch passes. Well, he 276 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 3: gave you a couple of scores today, And I mean, 277 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 3: Jackson was just fantastic, except for the dopey thing where 278 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 3: he tried to hesitate and let go of the ball 279 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: that ended up becoming a fumble and a turnover, which 280 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 3: opened the door for the Tampa Bay potential comeback effort. Anyway, 281 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 3: he was magnificent putting the ball down the field. 282 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 2: They just man, I mean, it's snowballs. And even like 283 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 2: in the first half, I don't know if it was 284 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: Joe Bocker Troygan. Then I was saying, you gotta get 285 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 2: Derrick Henry going. Then there's the eighty one yard run. Yeah, man, 286 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 2: you know. 287 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 3: Well he had four carries at halftime. It's like, is 288 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 3: he hurt? Is he sick? 289 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 2: Yeah? 290 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 3: Did he did he piss? Off hardball that he sat 291 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 3: him down. Did he curse out Todd Munkin? I mean 292 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 3: what happened? And that he's sprinting down this and that's that. 293 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: They have this weird thing where they played to the 294 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: level of their competition. In a way, it's a good thing, 295 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: like you know, this is a primetime game on the road, 296 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 2: and then they show up as a primetime team. But 297 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: then they to your point about the comebacks earlier or 298 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: them not being able to hold their leads, they blow 299 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 2: that game against the Raiders like they did. It's it's 300 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 2: funny sometimes with Baltimore, but they are they like Lamar Jackson. 301 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: I feel like I've played in the games where he's 302 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 2: had five touchdown passes? Did it last year in the 303 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: Fantasy Championship game? I played against them in a league 304 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 2: this week. But there aren't a lot of five touchdown 305 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 2: pass guys in the National Football League. We think, like, okay, 306 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 2: it could have happen with every thirty you know, thirty 307 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 2: two teams. We've talked about Mahomes. Mahomes is no longer 308 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 2: a five touchdown game guy. 309 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 3: He's a five touchdown in a month guy. 310 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: Herbert could have been maybe on that list last year. 311 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: He's not on that list anymore. There are just only 312 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: so many people that can give you that five touchdown 313 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 2: game and the way that they play and the way 314 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: that the momentum ends up rolling. Josh Allen is a 315 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 2: five touchdown guy like that happens, but we've seen stinkers 316 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 2: from him before. But when the Ravens get rolling like 317 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 2: they get rolling, and say, Flowers didn't do really anything, 318 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: you know, he had one catch, ended up having some 319 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: rushing yards as well, but. 320 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: Even got in the way of a football at one 321 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 3: point on a snap. 322 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 2: So there, there's there's there's the full there's the full 323 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: Monty for you for uh for Zay Flowers. It's funny 324 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 2: because there are certain plays that I didn't see in 325 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 2: the game because of the broadcast setup, which again I'm 326 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: not a fan of this Monday night thing, and we are. 327 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: We were lucky in southern California where the Chargers were 328 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 2: on the local channel right where they were able to play, 329 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: But I believe the rest of the country had to 330 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 2: have it on ESPN Plus to be able to get 331 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 2: the game. And it's just not I get it, like 332 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: I understand, like the Sunday afternoon you're only seeing like 333 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: the certain game that's on your TV. But there is 334 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: something special and something you about Monday Night on Sundays. 335 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: I don't feel like I'm missing something or something's being 336 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 2: kept from me. I would have that feeling. I had 337 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 2: that feeling, and I had access to both games because 338 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 2: I've got I got one TV in my living room. 339 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 2: So what am I trying to, you know, fight back 340 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,159 Speaker 2: and forth between that and working out wombats and in 341 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,439 Speaker 2: the whole deal. But I just I'm not I'm not 342 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 2: loving this. And I don't know if tonight was a great, 343 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,880 Speaker 2: great case for Monday Night was a great case for 344 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: this for the National Football League, I just don't. I 345 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 2: don't think it's great for the viewer, and I don't 346 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: think that the viewer's best intentions are being taken into account. 347 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 3: No, And that's that's where it gets into like there's 348 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 3: a lot of consternation over how Fox handled the league 349 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 3: championship series right to take a broader, you know approach 350 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 3: going to baseball for a second, where you had FS 351 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 3: one involved versus Big Fox, Right, so the battle of 352 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 3: the mass singer and and things have that nature. So yeah, 353 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 3: it's the decision making some of them feel like they're 354 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 3: test balloons, others feel like maybe a longer play, and 355 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 3: ultimately the viewer has to decide is this game worth 356 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 3: eleven dollars? To me, you may not watch anything else. Now. 357 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 3: For ESPN Plus, we watch a lot of college soccer, 358 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 3: my daughter and I, so I get my eleven bucks worth. 359 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 3: But for other folks, I understand where they wouldn't. I'm 360 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 3: also in LA so I didn't you know? I loaded 361 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 3: it at one point and then it's like, oh wait, 362 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: it's on the local channel, which I didn't know because 363 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: all week it was grained in my head ESPN Plus, 364 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 3: ESPN Plus, so just fully anticipating that until it's like, no, no, no, 365 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 3: it's on local. So you're all good. But I agree 366 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: with you. It's, you know, we're at that that weird 367 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 3: part in the evolution of the game in terms of 368 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 3: global globalization, monetization, the fragmentation of all these different streaming services, 369 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 3: of trying to figure out where the best formula is there. 370 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: I understand Amazon saying, hey, we're gonna have this Black 371 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 2: Friday game, and obviously Amazon has their Thursday Night package. 372 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: Now I understand Netflix saying we're gonna have these games 373 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: on Christmas. By the way, there's two games that are 374 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 2: gonna be back to back. It's not like they're overlapping 375 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: and they're both gonna be on the same provider. I 376 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 2: get it. I will sign up for that to see 377 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 2: those games, sort of have those games not a big deal. 378 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,120 Speaker 2: This is different when there's another game going on. I'm like, well, 379 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 2: why would I sign up for the other one if 380 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 2: I'm only seeing half of it? Anyway, Like, it didn't 381 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 2: even it wasn't even a bang for my buck sort 382 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 2: of thing. Mike like, if I'm like, want to watch football, 383 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 2: I'll just watch the Ravens and Buccaneers and watch the 384 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 2: score up in the. 385 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 3: And then they'll cut in when they need to with them. 386 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it didn't even seem like it was a 387 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 2: way to tenth the viewer into anything. 388 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 3: By the way, you only had what two highlights in 389 00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 3: the all right, maybe three? I guess the Connor thirty 390 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 3: three yard run to say, all right, this is this 391 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 3: is it to say up the winning field goal? Otherwise 392 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 3: I mean, are you doing a super cut of dicker 393 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 3: Field goals? 394 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 2: Probably? No, No, absolutely no. 395 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 3: You're going to show the reader play. You're going to 396 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 3: show the Kyler Murray run. 397 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 2: Well, and I heard the Manning cast was mad as 398 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 2: well because they weren't getting the Chargers Cardinals as much 399 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: as they would have hoped. I just think it's a 400 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 2: bad I don't think that the viewer was serviced in 401 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 2: this scenario by having the second game the ESPN Plus game. 402 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 2: I just don't think that many people were like, I 403 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 2: need to sign up for that to watch the second 404 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 2: half of Cardinals Chargers, And if you saw what the 405 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 2: score was at halftime, there was no way that you 406 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,359 Speaker 2: were signing up for it. I think you were just like, 407 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: you know what, I'm good for the night. That just 408 00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 2: doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Yeah, the 409 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 2: other games were ESPN and and ESPN broadcast on each 410 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: of those. But all right, anyway, I've gone on long 411 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 2: enough on my dislike of how it was set up. 412 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 2: I don't mind them doubleheader as much, but don't put 413 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 2: one on a pay subscription. All right. He's Mike Carmen, 414 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: I'm dan By. You heard Ian Roddy will continue with 415 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 2: some of the fallout from the action on Sunday. In 416 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: the National Football League. Davonte Adams a new gig with 417 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: the new York Jets, Russell Wilson starring with the Pittsburgh Steelers, 418 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: plus what do the forty nine Ers do now without 419 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk for the rest of the season. We'll talk 420 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: about those topics next year. And I want your flex now. 421 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 2: If Monday Night didn't entertain you, I'm not sure Sunday 422 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,719 Speaker 2: and night did either. It was the Jets up early 423 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: and then it was the Pittsburgh Steelers rolling the rest 424 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 2: of the way. He is Mike Harman, and I'm Dan Pyre, 425 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 2: our Jets fan on staff as Ian Roddy, and I 426 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 2: know Ian probably didn't love to see his Jets get 427 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 2: steamrolled on Sunday and they were getting steamrolled by a 428 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,960 Speaker 2: new quarterback with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't know if 429 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 2: it was a great night, Mike, for Russell Wilson and Pittsburgh, 430 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 2: but it was a pretty good night. Got off to 431 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 2: a slow start, but did seem to give the Steelers 432 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 2: a little bit more of a passing game than what 433 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 2: Justin Fields did. I don't know if the jets in 434 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 2: capabilities played into all of this, but how did you 435 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 2: take the Sunday n out of fair When we look 436 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 2: at the Jets and Steelers. 437 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 3: It's funny because early on the returns were I even 438 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 3: put it out, they you know, Russell Wilson, they wanted 439 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 3: him gone. The sea was angry, my friend, using the 440 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 3: old George Costanza and when he was a marine biologist, 441 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 3: go look at But the the idea that was the 442 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 3: you know, got got to get my early nineties sitcom 443 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 3: reference in early. So there it is for the mark 444 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 3: the tape, but just the idea of you know, he 445 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 3: was worm burning a couple of balls, leaving some out 446 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: and not really getting the receivers where they needed to be. 447 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 3: Now he was the benefactor. Beneficiary would be the better 448 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 3: word of the fact that George Pickens had a lot 449 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,479 Speaker 3: of ill will towards him for lack of effort, getting 450 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:55,439 Speaker 3: called out all over the place, the fact that he 451 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 3: leaked the fact that Russell Wilson was going to be starting. 452 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 3: I'm sure he got on as chewing from Mike Tomlin 453 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 3: after that, especially after Mike tom Wood had said, ah, 454 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 3: you know, we know in house, we'll keep that close 455 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 3: to the vest. 456 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 2: Not at all. 457 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 3: Hey, it's work. Working with Russ is great, you know, 458 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 3: since it's gonna be his first start and all, it's 459 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 3: like yeah, no, probably not the best thing. So he 460 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 3: gave his best effort. And the one thing Russell Wilson does, 461 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 3: and I think they really did the overkill to try 462 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 3: to lather up the love for Russell Wilson was he 463 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 3: puts He puts the ball up in the air like 464 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 3: justin fields, tries to cut through the air and maybe 465 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 3: throw it through defenders at times think that it's gonna 466 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 3: find your hands. Yeah, Russ puts the ball up and 467 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 3: lets you go make a play. And you saw Pickens 468 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 3: making plays for balls downfield. You saw that catch from Friarmouth, 469 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 3: which was about as good a catch and effort as 470 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 3: you're gonna see. So that was the difference to me. Right, 471 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 3: you got the run, game got going, and the fact 472 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 3: that you know on the other side for the Jets 473 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 3: and Ian you could speak to this maybe better than 474 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 3: I do. Uh, you fired the guy that are orchestrated 475 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 3: the defense. The defense looked pedestrian and got run over, 476 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 3: which was the Achilles heel. And then all of a 477 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 3: sudden you can lobby in a couple of deep balls 478 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 3: and stretch it. Never mind the fact that you worked 479 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 3: on short fields due to some of the inconsistencies to 480 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 3: be kind of the Jets offense. 481 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: Jets were a rough look. I don't know if Ian's 482 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 2: just still sulking over it or not. But again, going 483 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 2: to the point that we had last week, when you 484 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 2: fire Robert Salah, everybody else now takes on added work 485 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 2: or work that they weren't accustomed to doing. Now Jeff 486 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 2: Ulbrich has got to be the head coach, not running 487 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 2: the defense. Now. It's how doubting is taking over the 488 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,200 Speaker 2: offense instead of just being the passing game coordinator. Nathaniel 489 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 2: Hackett doesn't have any power to do anything. The removal 490 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 2: of Sala as the head coach just did not make 491 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 2: any sense. And now to your point of yeah, you 492 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 2: elevate the defensive coordinator like these are some of the 493 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 2: things that I think that you can see when you 494 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: do something like that. Now you throw in DeVante Adams 495 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: to the crew. And we know how Aaron Rodgers in 496 00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 2: DeVante Adams relationship is. We have been talking about it 497 00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 2: since the day Aaron Rodgers heck became a Jet. So 498 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 2: now you have even less accountability with the coaches to 499 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 2: be able to do something, and you're giving Rogers even 500 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 2: more power it's just it's such a mess. It is 501 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 2: an absolute bunch of gobblygook, if you will, nicely doing 502 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 2: Breece Hall having the night that he did was maybe 503 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 2: the best thing for the Jets. But you're like, we 504 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,199 Speaker 2: gave away a third round pick for three catches and 505 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 2: thirty yards and sure some things may have opened up 506 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 2: for Garrett Wilson at some point, but you're two and 507 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 2: five right now, So it's just I don't get it. 508 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 3: Hey, Adams didn't make a hell of a tackle though. 509 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 5: Touchdown saving tackle after interception. 510 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 2: Ian Are you are you less enthused about your Jets 511 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 2: after that Sunday Night Affairracy? Yeah, I'm a lot. 512 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,919 Speaker 4: I'm a lot less enthusied because that was, like, that 513 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 4: was a must win game. They're two and four now, 514 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 4: like the season yeah, worse, worse, worse, Yeah, thanks Dan, Yeah, 515 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 4: two and five, So it's like they have to go. 516 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 5: Pretty much perfect the rest of the way. 517 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 4: You're you're able to drop a game here or there potentially, 518 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 4: but at this point, like you need to the fact 519 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 4: that you've dropped games against teams like the Broncos, you 520 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 4: now have to win extra ones that you you know, 521 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 4: quote unquote weren't supposed to win in the past, they're 522 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 4: just flat Like the Steelers were a team that they 523 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 4: were supposed to win and they didn't. They got rolled over, 524 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 4: and it felt like after the Rogers interception, it was 525 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 4: like the whole team just gave up. And and that's 526 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 4: I don't know if it's a coaching thing, what Johnson 527 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 4: needs to sell the team is My main takeaway coming 528 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 4: out of it is that he is so reactionary. Like 529 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 4: what you said about the solid thing is spot on, Dan, 530 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 4: It's like he he obviously wasn't a perfect coach or 531 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 4: maybe you know, maybe not even a good coach. But 532 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 4: but in being so reactionary firing him so early on 533 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 4: in the season, you you took the energy out of 534 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 4: the entire locker room. What is there for anyone to 535 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:11,399 Speaker 4: be excited about? 536 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 5: Now? 537 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,679 Speaker 3: Sure, well he already took the power away, right, I mean, 538 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 3: Joe Douglas is basically acting at the behest of of 539 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers. 540 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 4: Yes, but but it makes me wonder, like I really 541 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 4: don't know that that Rogers had much of a say 542 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 4: in the Sola firing. Now now that we've kind of 543 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 4: seen all this this play out, Like I really think 544 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 4: that it might have just been the media being like, 545 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 4: you know, Rogers hates Sla he wants him out. 546 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 2: I'll put it this way, if Rogers wanted Sola there, 547 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 2: he'd still be. 548 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 4: He'd still be there, right, right, right, So he didn't 549 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,919 Speaker 4: make a conscious effort to keep him there. But I 550 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 4: also think it's a little overblown that he hated Sala 551 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:47,880 Speaker 4: and wanted to. 552 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 3: No, no, nobody, nobody's saying it's a hate. It doesn't help. 553 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 2: I actually think. 554 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 5: People were saying that. 555 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 4: But but he but the point is he yeah, I 556 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 4: don't know, you know what I mean? 557 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, why not it's just a podcast? 558 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 3: No, But but the reality is, you know, like whatever 559 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,640 Speaker 3: his feelings are, because he said, you know, I love 560 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,639 Speaker 3: Robert and they could be the best of friends off 561 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 3: the field, but you can still not like how somebody 562 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,400 Speaker 3: operates in the place of business. 563 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 5: Definitely. 564 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 3: I mean, how many families are torn asunder when they 565 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 3: try to work together? What are best friends have an 566 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 3: idea for a business and all of a sudden, it's like, 567 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 3: you know what, we probably should just go back to 568 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 3: drinking beers on weekends and hanging out. Right, Yeah, So 569 00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 3: same thing here. Philosophically, and where they're at might have 570 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 3: been two very different things. 571 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 5: That's true. 572 00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 4: I guess my bigger thing is I just feel like 573 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 4: it's pretty clear that he didn't Rogers didn't respect Sola 574 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 4: and and that might have played into it. But I 575 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 4: think it was a little overblown that that he didn't 576 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,719 Speaker 4: like him and wanted him fired and stuff. I think 577 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 4: he just like Rogers, just isn't going to respect his 578 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,479 Speaker 4: head coach. That's that's who he is. It's just and 579 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 4: I think that is historically the case. 580 00:28:57,440 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 5: Yeah. 581 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 2: Well again, I didn't read the book, but I listened 582 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 2: to Ian O'Connor's book about Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Rodgers, 583 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,000 Speaker 2: there is a part of him in the book where 584 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 2: they talk about he puts people on islands, and when 585 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,960 Speaker 2: you're on an island, you are persona on grade to him. 586 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 2: We saw it with his parents, he did it with 587 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 2: close friends, He's done it with other people. And so 588 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 2: you know, if you're not on Aaron Rodgers side of things, 589 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 2: or you're not with him, you are likely against him. 590 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 2: And so with the solid thing, again, he may not 591 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 2: have had anything to do with it. In that conversation 592 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 2: on Monday Night with Woody Johnson, But in that conversation, 593 00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 2: if Aaron Rodgers would have said, we need to keep 594 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 2: Robert around for this season, he is the one that's 595 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 2: going to get it done, then a change would not 596 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 2: have been. 597 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 4: Made, right, right, But I think there's it's such a 598 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 4: wide spectrum between him telling what he to fire him 599 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 4: and him just not saying anywall. 600 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 3: But you're saying that, you know the old song, you 601 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,239 Speaker 3: say it best when you say nothing at all, like 602 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 3: you can fight for him to stick around. 603 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think it's established he didn't respect him 604 00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:09,800 Speaker 4: enough to want to fight for him. 605 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 3: You know. 606 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 2: This is I don't want to. I don't wanna. I 607 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 2: was going to try to make a correlation to the 608 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,280 Speaker 2: Menendez brothers, but they would just have been awful. So 609 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna. I'm not even gonna. Yeh, I don't. 610 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 3: I don't. But I haven't followed these shows, so I don't. 611 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 5: I haven't either. 612 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 3: It's been a long time since I've followed the case 613 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:30,400 Speaker 3: of just. 614 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 2: The case of it, well, like it's just of you know, 615 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: there's there's yeah, don't even worry about it. No, No, 616 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 2: the point being, and I think that Ian and Ian 617 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,960 Speaker 2: I'm not piling on you. It's not saying this is 618 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 2: that Aaron Rodgers could have saved Robert Sala's job if 619 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 2: he wanted Sala there. But if Woody Johnson says, I'm 620 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 2: thinking about firing Robert, yeah, well you're the owner, what 621 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,080 Speaker 2: he I mean, it's your team. You do what you 622 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 2: gotta do, you know that sort of thing, Or if 623 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 2: he didn't in this conversation of not even maybe bringing 624 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 2: up the topic at all, like that doesn't I don't 625 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,080 Speaker 2: think Aaron Rodgers wanted his hands dirty. He's already got 626 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,320 Speaker 2: one coach fired and Mike McCarthy, as Mike said, you 627 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 2: don't want that one on your hands either. So if 628 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 2: what he Johnson is going to do it, Aaron Rodgers 629 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 2: is not going to stand in his way. If he 630 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 2: wants Robert Sala gone, fine, go right ahead and do it. 631 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 2: So if there was any point where there was going 632 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 2: to be pushed back on a possible change, I just 633 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,880 Speaker 2: I and you know what, I also say this, if 634 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers didn't want him fired, don't you think Aaron 635 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 2: would have said something since then until now? 636 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 4: I just think there's a difference between wanting him fired 637 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 4: and being indifferent about it. And I think he was 638 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 4: indifferent about it, Like I don't. I think the way 639 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 4: it's been painted is, or at least up until now, 640 00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 4: is that he wanted him fired. But to me, it's 641 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 4: that he just wasn't different about it. So to your point, 642 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 4: if what he did come to him and say, hey, 643 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 4: we're thinking about firing Robert sala I don't think he 644 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 4: cared enough to inference stead. 645 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 2: That he didn't want him. I think that that's I 646 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,239 Speaker 2: don't think that there's three steps of not wanting him, 647 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 2: indifference and not wanting them. It's either you want him 648 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 2: or you don't want it. 649 00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 4: Just for you to not want someone, there needs to 650 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 4: be someone who you view as a better option, you 651 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like like you need there needs 652 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 4: to have been someone that he viewed as a better 653 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 4: option for him to literally want sala out. 654 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 2: I when they fired Mike McCarthy, I don't think that 655 00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 2: there was the consideration of, hey, there's a better option. 656 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 2: I don't think that Aaron just wants his way. He's 657 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 2: gam he's the head coach. I just I don't think 658 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 2: he could he could have stopped it. Maybe maybe he's 659 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 2: on board with this boy hacke it. You know, he 660 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: with with praising him for how well he's handled the demotion, 661 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 2: but he could have stopped it, just like the way 662 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 2: they they've got DeVante Adams anyway, now. 663 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 3: They got to figure out how to stop the bleeding. Yes, yes, 664 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 3: that's really what it comes down to. And you know, 665 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 3: Smith and I got we didn't get fiery into it, 666 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 3: but I firmly disagreed with the Garrett Wilson asked to 667 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:12,720 Speaker 3: catch that ball. I don't care if dude got a 668 00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 3: finger on it. I was not. 669 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 4: I was yelling it was he tried to squash and 670 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 4: he actually, which I liked. He owned up to that 671 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 4: after the game. He said, it's a culmination of bad habits. 672 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 4: I need to catch it with my hands. That's what 673 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 4: I said in the moment, Like why are you catching 674 00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 4: it with your body? It's a perfect throat and it 675 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 4: bounced off his chest. It's like, if you're one of 676 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 4: the best receivers in the league, like people say you are, 677 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 4: you catch that? 678 00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,120 Speaker 5: You catch that ball. 679 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 2: I think there's something there because Garrett Wilson was one 680 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 2: of the better skilled receivers that you had coming into 681 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 2: the draft. Like when you talk about pro receivers and 682 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,800 Speaker 2: doing the stuff like that, catching with your hands, that's 683 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:51,400 Speaker 2: what he did. That's it's truly And I've watched the 684 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 2: enough Ohio State football to see the receivers that have 685 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 2: gone through. There was no one better more prepared for 686 00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 2: the pros than Michael Thomas. There wasn't. Then Marvin Harrison 687 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 2: Junior came along and he was great. But Garrett Wilson 688 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,760 Speaker 2: is up in that conversation with those two guys, and 689 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 2: so there may be there may be something there with 690 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson right now that's just not right in his head. 691 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,279 Speaker 2: And I won't blame that on Aaron Rodgers, but there 692 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,880 Speaker 2: may be a mental thing going on in just you know, 693 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 2: a mental block. Sometimes that's just not you know, athletes. 694 00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,760 Speaker 3: It happens, absolutely, yeah. 695 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely all right. We'll take your calls one eight 696 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 2: hundred jets, give us a ring here on I want 697 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 2: your flax. He is Ian Roddy, that's Mike Carmen. I'm 698 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 2: Dan Beyer. We got to take a time out. We 699 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 2: will get to the Brandon Ayuk information and how that 700 00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 2: plays out with the forty nine ers. In fact, we're 701 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:39,920 Speaker 2: probably going to do it on our next podcast. So 702 00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 2: that's going to be dropping on Wednesday. We'll give the 703 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 2: fallout for that because coming up next, Mike's got your 704 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,280 Speaker 2: waiver wire. We know you got to make your claims, 705 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 2: get your fab ready for week eight in the NFL season. 706 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 2: Plus we'll do our report cards, what hit, what missed 707 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,640 Speaker 2: in week seven? A lot more to get to and 708 00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 2: I promise the solid firing, by the way, is two 709 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 2: weeks ago and we're still talking about how great is that. 710 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 2: We will get the more here and I want your flex. 711 00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 2: He's Mike, I'm dan thatt'sy and that's next report card 712 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:11,359 Speaker 2: top for week seven, plus Mike Scott the waiver wire 713 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 2: pickcups that you are going to need with all the 714 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 2: injuries that we saw in week seven. First of all, 715 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 2: my ego has been injured. After I told you that 716 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 2: the points of Palooza was going to be Eagles Giants. 717 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 2: I even said on the podcast guys that I thought 718 00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,360 Speaker 2: it could be a funky one. Eagles actually kept up 719 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 2: their end of the bargain, Giants did not. Eagles scored 720 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,719 Speaker 2: twenty eight in the game. Giants scored a whole three, 721 00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 2: so that failed. And then to Mario Douglas, which seemed 722 00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,880 Speaker 2: to be a theme in Week seven, with people getting sick. 723 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,880 Speaker 2: He was not feeling well. Only hauled in two catches 724 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 2: in that game in London against the Jaguars. That was 725 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 2: not a good play and nobody really a good play 726 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 2: for the Patriots and that contest. But I did give 727 00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,400 Speaker 2: you some survivor winners, Colts and Bills ended up prevailing. 728 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 2: Colts was a little tricky. It was a little tricky 729 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,880 Speaker 2: for the Bills for a while. Guys against the Titans, 730 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 2: but Buffalo ended up pulling away big time in the 731 00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,919 Speaker 2: second half, but ended up working out. Survivor wise, Ian 732 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,239 Speaker 2: your streaming defenses, Rams and Jags, how'd they fare? 733 00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 3: They what? 734 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 5: It was a great week? It was a great week. 735 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 4: Now, let me start by saying I did preface my 736 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,760 Speaker 4: defenses by saying, if the Bengals were available in your league, 737 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 4: then you should try and get them. They scored fifteen points, 738 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 4: so if they were there, I hope you got them. 739 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 4: The Rams, which were one of my official picks, they 740 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:30,799 Speaker 4: had seventeen points, so that could have been a league 741 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 4: winner for you. You work, and then the Jaguars had 742 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 4: eleven points. So all three were very very good streaming options. 743 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 2: So yeah, Mike kits On Lamar Jackson as the top quarterback. 744 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 2: Josh Allen also a great game. I know you had 745 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,360 Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels high, but yeah, what can you do with 746 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,440 Speaker 2: the injury? Yeah, something that you can't for Diggs. 747 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, Baker as a top five. So I'll take a 748 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 3: little victory. 749 00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,040 Speaker 2: There for sure. Absolutely, Saquan was on your list in 750 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:57,439 Speaker 2: the top five, sitting there at number two. He was great. 751 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 2: Derrick Henry did his damage BJI even though the loss, 752 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 2: very effective. Kyrien Williams was your number one guy, very 753 00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 2: very strong, top five in the running backs hot plays, 754 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 2: he had Geno Smith as a as a top play 755 00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 2: and man, I'm sorry this is me as a Seahawks fan, 756 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,359 Speaker 2: but when they can block in like they can move 757 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 2: like they can, they just they just gotta protect Gino Smith. 758 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:22,959 Speaker 2: That's all you gotta do. And Mike Girell or rookie 759 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,319 Speaker 2: tackle playing right tackle for the first time. Maybe they've 760 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:28,359 Speaker 2: actually figured that out. But yeah, Geno as a hot plays. 761 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,960 Speaker 3: Look at that excitement. We got an RB two showing 762 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 3: from Tyler Goodson, So we'll take the victory there. Tank 763 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,799 Speaker 3: Bigsby finished eighth in PPR leagues, so a little bit 764 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 3: of a win there. What else Drake May. I mean, look, 765 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 3: the play calling was really good out of the gate. Yeah, 766 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 3: and then I was confused. Right, You had the Jaguars 767 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 3: giving you the same effort they did against the Bears 768 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,839 Speaker 3: for a couple of series and then you let them 769 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 3: off the hook with some bad play calling and let's 770 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:07,239 Speaker 3: call the first first down dive play. No, their secondary 771 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:13,560 Speaker 3: stinks throw the ball. But yeah, as always some other disasters, 772 00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,239 Speaker 3: like the Breise Hall play against Pittsburgh. He was obviously 773 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 3: dominant and Pickens on the other side called out for 774 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:27,719 Speaker 3: the effort. Thanks. Yeah, you know, hey, anybody that I 775 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,080 Speaker 3: call out for effort usually goes off big. So I'm 776 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,359 Speaker 3: gonna have the list of guys that if you want 777 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 3: to send the grievances, I'll air him in, you know, 778 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,480 Speaker 3: like like you're buying indulgences back in the day. Look 779 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 3: it up, you all took history. That's the way to 780 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,600 Speaker 3: get to heaven or fantasy heaven by buying off me C. J. 781 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 2: Stroud and Patrick Mahomes or two of your cold sores. 782 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,520 Speaker 2: And boy did they live up to the billings. So 783 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 2: you do deserve credit on that one. Stroud just ten 784 00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,960 Speaker 2: of twenty one for eighty six yards. And then lost 785 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 2: to Green Bay. 786 00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, just five point three points. Finished as the twenty 787 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,760 Speaker 3: ninth quarterback. He was behind Jake Hayner. 788 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 2: Ouch h. That's never good. 789 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 3: I just you know, I just thought i'd give it 790 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 3: the specificity. 791 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,400 Speaker 2: Twenty ninth was bad enough when there's two teams on 792 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,920 Speaker 2: buy okay, and then when you're throwing Jake. 793 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:16,840 Speaker 3: Hayner still more than Matthew Stafford. 794 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 2: Well there you go. That's what so what you got. 795 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,080 Speaker 3: And the other guys that left with injury. 796 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, where did Mahomes end up? 797 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 3: Mahomes finished nineteenth, okay, all right, tied for eighteenth with 798 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 3: bo Nicks. All right at fourteen point one. 799 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,359 Speaker 2: When you pretend to go out of bounds and then 800 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 2: keep running, dude, that was add to your you can 801 00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,200 Speaker 2: add to your total. 802 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,160 Speaker 3: The number of people are like, look at the magic 803 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 3: and Patrick Mahomes like, yeah, because every guy knows he's 804 00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 3: going to get a flag and he's going to get 805 00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:51,319 Speaker 3: a pink envelope taking twenty thousand dollars or more from 806 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:52,000 Speaker 3: this pocket. 807 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 2: I agree with that, but I will also say that 808 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,759 Speaker 2: there have been a bunch of people who called out 809 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 2: the BS as well. So the people were very vocal 810 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 2: that's what happened when it's the the marquee game in 811 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 2: the late window. There are only two other games going 812 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 2: on at the time, so it was pretty much across 813 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:09,240 Speaker 2: the country. Happens when you have a Super Bowl rematch. 814 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 2: But I do think people were calling out at how 815 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:13,760 Speaker 2: that was also be I hope. 816 00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,920 Speaker 3: So, because I'll tell you that's one of those and 817 00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,680 Speaker 3: we see it a bunch right to where it bops 818 00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,360 Speaker 3: its head in, and like, all right, just blow the 819 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,360 Speaker 3: guy up, take the fifteen yards. Maybe he won't do 820 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 3: it again. 821 00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:31,240 Speaker 2: It's it's just such a such a bad, bad look. 822 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,280 Speaker 3: But hey, look at this guy quit on the sideline. 823 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 2: Well, the Chiefs got to a Super Bowl from a 824 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,560 Speaker 2: call like that against the Bengals. Remember the yep, the 825 00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 2: late hit out of bounds gives them fifteen yards, And 826 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 2: it probably was. But that's what everybody's thinking. So all right, 827 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 2: there's our report card time now, Mike, do we need 828 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,759 Speaker 2: to pick up heading into week eight? Thursday night, it's 829 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 2: Vikings Rams for those keeping track. 830 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 3: Well, we get into our long play and to the 831 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,360 Speaker 3: window for practices open. He got caught in about sixty 832 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:05,239 Speaker 3: sixty five percent of leagues. So the opportunity there as 833 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 3: ugly as it was in time, like one of the 834 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:12,359 Speaker 3: interceptions his fault, pretty good play by they buy on 835 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 3: the first one, and then the second one bounces off 836 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson. They all couch us to say him, but 837 00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers and that offense. I still have hope for 838 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 3: better days, better days. And you got the Patriots this week, 839 00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,319 Speaker 3: and Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars offense look competent. So 840 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,960 Speaker 3: I gotta think better day is for you, Ian Roddy, 841 00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,880 Speaker 3: and you're in New York football Jets. Herbert threw for 842 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 3: three forty nine. I don't know how many times he's 843 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:37,839 Speaker 3: going to see the end zone, but at this point 844 00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,800 Speaker 3: he's been jettison too the waiver wires, so if nothing 845 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:43,719 Speaker 3: else yet, and you know, you have a functional quarterback 846 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,080 Speaker 3: that you know, break glass in case of emergency kind 847 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,839 Speaker 3: of thing. And then I love me some Drake may 848 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,799 Speaker 3: Jets defense. I think I'll have a better day than 849 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 3: they did this last week. And then I'd be remiss 850 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,840 Speaker 3: if I didn't at least say, all right, Russell Wilson, 851 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,640 Speaker 3: you got the giant, Yeah, go out and get it. 852 00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 2: I Yeah, imagine being down thirteen and having Russell Wilson 853 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:12,360 Speaker 2: on Monday Night football to watch that is a roller 854 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:13,160 Speaker 2: coaster ride. 855 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,839 Speaker 3: Well, there's no question about it. That'll be fun. We'll 856 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,480 Speaker 3: see who lines up opposite him right for the Giants 857 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:25,400 Speaker 3: as we go forward running back position, Ray Davis, you know, 858 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 3: insurance plus a few touches. We talked about Tyler Goodson 859 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 3: eight plus touches three straight weeks. I think he still 860 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,000 Speaker 3: has a part in this offense, even with Taylor expected 861 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:41,720 Speaker 3: back Justice Hill with Baltimore. I know Derrick Henry's the wizard, 862 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,279 Speaker 3: but you're talking about Hill as a receiver out of 863 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,080 Speaker 3: the backfield, seeing four to six targets a week. Some 864 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:51,640 Speaker 3: opportunity duff run through there. People got mad about Pittsburgh 865 00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,640 Speaker 3: and their offense. Jalen Warren's healthy, He's going to have 866 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,720 Speaker 3: a share there with Nase Harris going forward. So opportunity 867 00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,879 Speaker 3: knocks there. And then we got to figure out what's 868 00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,240 Speaker 3: going on with Tampa and now with the wide receiver 869 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:09,520 Speaker 3: position with both Evans and Chris Godwin not going to 870 00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,160 Speaker 3: be around, so you know what they do and whether 871 00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,959 Speaker 3: that means more of using Tucker as a wide out 872 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,080 Speaker 3: question mark, you know, or do they go into the marketplace, 873 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 3: but for the receivers that are out there for now, 874 00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 3: you're looking at Juwan Jennings coming back with the all 875 00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,919 Speaker 3: the injuries and issues going on in San Francisco, Ayuk's 876 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 3: injury debo with pneumonia and kittles banged up, so an 877 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,560 Speaker 3: opportunity for him to step right back into a big role, 878 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:44,800 Speaker 3: as with Ricky Pearsol played his first game back. Kean Coleman, 879 00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 3: a guy folks have stayed away from in Buffalo, and 880 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,680 Speaker 3: I get it. The targets behind Shakir and now Amari 881 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,960 Speaker 3: Cooper with Dalt looking Kaid might be fewer, but quality 882 00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,760 Speaker 3: will be there, so as a three might get a shot. 883 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:03,280 Speaker 3: Franklin as up sixteen targets for Denver. Quality is a question, 884 00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,360 Speaker 3: but he's basically on owned, so an opportunity there. And 885 00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:10,399 Speaker 3: then we go back just to look at and we'll 886 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 3: do a deeper dive in the Wednesday episode. But you know, 887 00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 3: while we're at it, you know, you start looking at 888 00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 3: what's going on with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sterling Shepherd 889 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:22,719 Speaker 3: is the leader in the clubhouse. 890 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:25,960 Speaker 2: There you are your waiver wire pickups four week eight 891 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,240 Speaker 2: and if you have noticed something we did not tease 892 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,239 Speaker 2: any teams on buys because there are no buys in 893 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,800 Speaker 2: week eight. So when your team is handcuffed and possibly 894 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,279 Speaker 2: your regular season finale because there are six teams on 895 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,440 Speaker 2: buy in week fourteen, remember this week and remember how 896 00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,799 Speaker 2: stupid the NFL was to not give teams a buy 897 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 2: in week eight. There's no again. This will added this 898 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:52,600 Speaker 2: to the chapter on NFL scheduling, mic, I have no reason. 899 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 2: Last week only two teams on by your Bears and 900 00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,400 Speaker 2: the Cowboys. Now you go into week eight, nobody's on buy, 901 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 2: but week fourteen when half those teams are going to 902 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,000 Speaker 2: be out of the playoff hunt. Anyway, Hey, you guys, 903 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 2: take the week off. Don't worry about working this week. 904 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 3: You know me, I abhore the early buys. I know 905 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,520 Speaker 3: it should be all mid season, whether it's by division 906 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:15,759 Speaker 3: or whatever you want to do. 907 00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,880 Speaker 2: I hate the late buys more than I hate the Earth. No, 908 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,280 Speaker 2: I agrees, Yeah, because now there are gonna be teams 909 00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 2: that aren't in the running. We're at week eight. We 910 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 2: are in the middle, Like this is smack dab when 911 00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:31,240 Speaker 2: you should be loading up on your bye weeks. Instead, 912 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,280 Speaker 2: the NFL is like you know what, on week fourteen 913 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,799 Speaker 2: in early December. And by the way, it's not December 914 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,279 Speaker 2: one and two. We're talking about like December nine and ten. 915 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 2: Like that's like where we are. Eight December eighth is 916 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 2: a Sunday. You have six teams on buy that week, Denver, 917 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 2: the Colts, Patriots, Commander's, Baltimore, and Houston. Now we think 918 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 2: the Commanders, Ravens, and Houston are all going to be 919 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,600 Speaker 2: playoff teams. Denver's playing good right now, but their season 920 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 2: could be over. New England's season is done already, and 921 00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:00,840 Speaker 2: they're gonna have a buy in week fourteen. 922 00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 3: Colts. 923 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 2: Who knows what's gonna happen, but just doesn't make a 924 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 2: lot of sense. Don't don't understand it at all. You 925 00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:08,399 Speaker 2: could have given a couple of those teams by. 926 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:13,480 Speaker 3: I don't think teams need buys in week five, correct, 927 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,000 Speaker 3: and most of them don't need them after week ten 928 00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:19,319 Speaker 3: or eleven. Yeah right, I mean, I think we can 929 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:20,240 Speaker 3: shrink this down. 930 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:24,680 Speaker 2: I agree wholeheartedly, but that will be for another day. 931 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 3: So until we're in charge, Dan, till we get that 932 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 3: billion dollar app built, I'll be a buyre a weigh in. 933 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,279 Speaker 2: I will be waiting NFL. We'll put a bow on 934 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,959 Speaker 2: this one. Ian, great job on the streaming defenses. Better 935 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,759 Speaker 2: luck to your Jets. In week eight, Mike bears back 936 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,080 Speaker 2: in action. Maybe the game of the week against the. 937 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:48,200 Speaker 3: Commanders highly anticipated. Yeah, the only problem is the guy 938 00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 3: on the other side might not be available. Maybe a 939 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 3: Marcus Mariota game. 940 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, something we'll dive into on our podcast, dropping it 941 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 2: tomorrow as well. So for Mike, Carman, Andy and Roddy, 942 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,360 Speaker 2: I'm Dan Byer. We appreciate you always this thing.
