Speaker 2: our number two for the Fantasy football focus, and let's

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 2: let's try to pick guys who are actually going to

8
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: play and play the entire Yeah, let's this week.

9
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 3: That's a problem in fantasy for everybody this year is

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,280
Speaker 3: getting guys to play sixty minutes.

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: I mean brutal. He made zeros and one guys leaving

12
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: early in game. Yeah, we would have finished in the

13
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: money last week. Have we not lost Marvin Harrison Junior

14
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 2: early in that game? That was a zero? Right, we

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: took a zero? Yeah, yeah, a concussion. So let's figure

16
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: this thing out here once again. Looking here at the

17
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: fantasy defenses, Steelers are number one in terms of the

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: most expensive Wow, so that shocks me a little bit. Yeah,

19
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: thirty seven hundred. Looking here at the bottom of this

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: the Buccaneers against Baltimore twenty three hundred, surprise their last

21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: but yeah they're good defense. Yeah, Titans against Buffalo twenty

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: three hundred. That was actually not bad. That's a good

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 2: defense too. It's a good defense. And I don't know

24
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: how much Mariy Cooper plays this week. He's gonna play,

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: that's all they even now. But I think it's just

26
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: gonna be It'll be a smaller package than what Devonte

27
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: Adams plays Sunday night. I think Cook returns. Yeah, Panthers

28
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: against Washington twenty four hundred, that makes sense. They should

29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: be last. Both those should be low. Cardinals against the

30
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: Chargers twenty four hundred, that's pretty bad. Giants against Philadelphia

31
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred, that's not I don't mind that. They're

32
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: like the best pass rushing team in the league right now. Yeah,

33
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: they get as sacts. Yeah, see them next week. Cincinnati

34
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: at Cleveland is twenty five hundred. I don't mind that either.

35
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: Mind that either I picked them up in a Giants Ye,

36
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: there wasn't much to pick fro him. But yeah, it's

37
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 3: just a against Watson.

38
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: Uh, Seattle at Atlanta twenty six hundred, Houston at Green

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 2: Bay twenty six hundred, the Raiders at the Rams twenty

40
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 2: seven hundred, Miami at Indianapolis twenty eight hundred, Detroit at

41
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: Minnesota twenty eight hundred, Baltimore at Tampa Bay twenty nine hundred,

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 2: Detroit at Minnesota, Minnesota is twenty nine hundred. I can't

43
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: give my mind off, Cincy. I'm feeling that, I'm feeling

44
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: you on that you would just plug it in.

45
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: I don't see anybody. Chubb may play a little. They

46
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 3: don't have Amari Cooper. Their quarterbacks are worse than the league.

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: Who's blucking hendrickson right? The quarterback they can't they have

48
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 3: it's like six sacks a game, it's by far the most.

49
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: And they just trade their best receiver away, right, and

50
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: they I mean they rarely complete passes. All right, it's

51
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: plugged in. Yeah, twenty five have to be a great unit.

52
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 3: If they get us five points, it's gonna make the

53
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: Browns haven't scored twenty points all season.

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: All season, right, all right? That I bet that's shock.

55
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 3: It might be, but it is just Sinnati defense, like

56
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: it's been bad. Quarterback Lamar is eight thousand, Jaden Daniels

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 3: is seventy six hundred, Jared Allen seventy five hundred, or

58
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 3: Josh Allens to say, yeah, wrong, Allen Jalen hurts seventy

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 3: three hundred. Stroud is seventy one hundred. Mahomes seven thousand,

60
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 3: Jordan Love sixty nine hundred, Burrow sixty eight hundred, Kyler

61
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: Murray sixty seven hundred, Baker Mayfield at sixty six hundred.

62
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 2: They're gonna throw a lot. They are. They have the

63
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: second worst pass defense in the league in terms of

64
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: Fantasy points allow they're thirtieth, and fantasy points in terms

65
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: of the overall pass defense, Baltimore is thirty first.

66
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 3: They have good receivers and Bakers will throw a lot,

67
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 3: and he's playing well. I have interested in that. Jruns

68
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 3: a little bit.

69
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jared goff is sixty five hundred. Brock Perty against

70
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: Kansas City sixty four hundred. Kirk Cousins that game. This

71
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: game could be a shootout Seattle with Atlanta. Oh, I know,

72
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins is sixty three hundred.

73
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 3: I think Atlanta windsay game. I wouldn't be I'd have

74
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 3: some interesting cousins.

75
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold sixty two hundred two attacko Azon Joe Flacco.

76
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: He's not starting Anthony Richardson six thousand against Miami. It's

77
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 2: not bad.

78
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 3: I mean he plays the whole game, which you can't

79
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: assume with him, right, he's gonna put up fancy numbers.

80
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: Uh, Gino Smith is only fifty eight hundred. It's not bad.

81
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 2: I think I'd rather pay for Cousins though, fifty eight hundred.

82
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: Though for the guy who's leading the NFL in passing

83
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 2: yardage in what you think is going to be a shootout,

84
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: they're big problems protection. But Atlanta does rush the past

85
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: with that. Well. Yeah. Aaron Rodgers fifty seven hundred. Matthew

86
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 2: Stafford fifty six hundred. Mymight have the mighty have fallen

87
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 2: here only Mackrock. I'm playing somebody terrible though, right Stafford.

88
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: They're playing Yeah, they're playing the Raiders.

89
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

90
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. Mitch t Risky is fifty five hundred. Justin Herbert

91
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: fifty five hundred. They're playing the Cardinals. Yeah, but they

92
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 2: might just run the ball. I think they would that game. Yeah,

93
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson fifty four hundred. Mitch Trubisky cost Mitch more

94
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: than Herbert and Wilson. Daniel Jones fifty four hundred. We

95
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 2: don't need to go. Andy Dalton is only fifty two

96
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: hundred against Washington. It's a bad defense. It's a bad defense.

97
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 2: I think that's a pick. I mean, that's the what

98
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 2: are we doing here? Right?

99
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 3: I mean a minimum he's in get garbage time unless

100
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 3: they stick Bryce all in the game and the fourth quarter.

101
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: I mean that could happen. That could happen. It would

102
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: be sad, but you know, probably throws a lot. I

103
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: would think. So, I think he's a pick.

104
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 3: Do you go with him or do you go pay

105
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: up a little bit for Cousins? It's it's eleven hundred

106
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 3: dollars difference. I liked the Baker, I liked the Cousins.

107
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: I kind of liked Richardson to his cost.

108
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, Geno Smith. In between those two two fifty eight hundred,

109
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: I think I'd still picked Dalton. Dalton. We've got very

110
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: we got a lot of bunnies. We're a little roadhouse

111
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: here throwing Dalton in the lineup there we go, uh

112
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: running back and go running back a tight end. That's

113
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 2: two tight ends, all right? Tight end? You got Kelsey

114
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: sixty three hundred, George Kittle six thousand, Rock Bowers fifty

115
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: eight hundred. The Rams are thirty first against opposing tight ends,

116
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: are they? That's intriguing. Kansas City's actually thirty second, are

117
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 2: they really yeah, how about that? Trey McBride fifty seven hundred, uh,

118
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: Sam Laporta fifty three hundred, Dalton Kincaid fIF five thousand.

119
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: Goddard's not going to play. I don't think Tucker Kraft

120
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: is forty six hundred. Kyle Pitts, you want to get

121
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: a piece of that gaming forty five hundred.

122
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: They are twenty ninth. Okay late against opposing tight ends.

123
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 3: He gets chunk plays Pitts and Bauers so far kind

124
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 3: of interesting.

125
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: Friar muth Is forty four hundred, Isaiah Likely forty three hundred,

126
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: Dalton Schultz forty two hundred. Green Bay is thirtieth against

127
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: opposing tacos No Nico, David and Joku forty one hundred.

128
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 2: I think he benefits.

129
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 3: I think he's the only one that I think so, yeah,

130
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 3: because they'll throw it to him behind the line of

131
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 3: scrimmage and stuff.

132
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 2: Watson I'll complete, Mark Andrews four thousand, Zach Ertz thirty

133
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: nine hundred. They're twenty fourth against opposing tight ends. Kobe Parkinson,

134
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: Kate Oughten Baltimore is twenty six against opposing tight ends.

135
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: Sure Kate Oughton's thirty six hundred just saying we've just

136
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: been cheap everywhere. Yeah, no offense is thirty five hundred.

137
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 2: Who do you like? I like a lot, Actually like

138
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: a lot of them. There's like five of them, and

139
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: I'm having a hard time keeping track of them. Am

140
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: I nogging? I mean, Bowers is the only game in town,

141
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 2: and they're thirty first against opposing tight ends, so the

142
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: expensive ones, he was definitely my favorite. It's only it's

143
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: fifty eight hundred. It's still under under budget. Under budget.

144
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: You know, he's gonna catch passes. I just still know

145
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 2: how much after the catch.

146
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 3: Stuff he'll be able to get because the whole world

147
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: knows he's getting the football.

148
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: But he's trying to catch six. Yeah he might catch twelve.

149
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: He might, you know. I mean they're gonna throw in

150
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 2: the football a lot. I like him. I like it's

151
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: at forty five hundred. I just think he is a

152
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: low floor. Yeah. McBride isn't bad. At fifteen seven, I

153
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: thought of too, Yeah, let's go about new Bowers. Yeah,

154
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: let's doers. We haven't spent much. We still can spend

155
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: sixty one hundred rested away. I think we can probably

156
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: save some money at running back here Saquon Barkley is

157
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 2: eighty two hundred against the Revenge Game. Revenge Game, Kyle

158
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 2: Williams eighty one hundred. Derrick Henry, they don't call anybody, no.

159
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: I don't love Henry against Veya Jordan Mason seventy six hundred.

160
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: I guess they think he's gonna play. Kansas City's number

161
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,439
Speaker 2: one against opposing running backs Kenneth Walker seventy three hundred,

162
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon seventy two hundred, b Jean Robinson seventy one hundred,

163
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: James Cook Is seven thousand. I don't like that against Tennessee, though,

164
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs sixty nine hundred. Minnesota is second against opposing

165
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 2: running backs, Bryce Hall sixty eight hundred, James Connor sixty

166
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: seven hundred. The Chargers are sixty or six against opposing

167
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: Devin at Chan sixty seven hundred, David Montgomery sixty six hundred,

168
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: Isaac Garrendo sixty six hundred, Viece Cheba Hubbard sixty five

169
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: hundred against Washington Bay. We already Dalton, though, I am

170
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: going all in on Panthers. Josh Jacobs against Houston is

171
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 2: sixty four hundred. They're fifty against opposing running backs. Brian

172
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: Robinson against Carolina sixty four hundred. If he plays, he's questionable,

173
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: would bind Eckler cheaper than that? Though Tony Pollard sixty

174
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 2: three hundred, He's the only show in town. Spears have

175
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: been ruled out. JK. Dobbins sixty three hundred against Arizona. Oh,

176
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 2: I love that, Yeah, Singletary sixty two hundred, forty minutes

177
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:47,719
Speaker 2: of time possession that game, Tyrone tracy Is sixty two hundred,

178
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 2: mostert Is sixty one hundred, Kareem Hunt six thousand, Nauseee

179
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: Harris six thousand, eklar Is fifty nine hundred. I like

180
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: that one. Chase Brown fifty nine hundre hundred. I like

181
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: that too. I think he's starting to take that backfield

182
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: over a little Bucky Irving fifty nine hundred, Zach Moss

183
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: fifty eight hundred.

184
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 3: Before I lose my train of thought here because I

185
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: got a bunch of names on TI my time, I

186
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 3: throw a couple out at you, Kyron Williams, but that's

187
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: more of a vote against the Raiders. Some interest in

188
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 3: a chan Chase Brown, echolar, and I love Dobbins. Any

189
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 3: of those float your boat.

190
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: I want to spend down a little bit at running back. Okay,

191
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: there's some guys here, some of these ones I mentioned

192
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: at the end there though, Chase Brown, Echolar Dobbins. We

193
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: go even cheaper if you want. Tyler Goodson is fifty

194
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: four hundred. Oh he's gonna play. You might play a lot.

195
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 2: Taylor's already out and Sermons banged up. Yeah. Yeah, he's

196
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: been the better option in Miami's twenty six against opposing

197
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: running backs. I'll be shocked to be scores, but that's okay.

198
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: He might get a long one.

199
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 3: I think he'll catch too, assuming the quarterback can hit him.

200
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 3: That's the only thing that's scrazy scares me about that.

201
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: I wish Flacco is playing for that. Yeah, I mean,

202
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 3: I'm just worried about goal line vaulting too.

203
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 2: I kind of like Jaleen Warren this week at five

204
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: thousand and two bad again. I think it's kind of

205
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 2: out of sight, out of my mind with him. I

206
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: guess those are the ones that kind of stand out

207
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 2: to me as cheaper. I can't think if there's anybody

208
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 2: else seems way too cheap to me. I mean, we

209
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: could pay up for one of those guys and then

210
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: just yeah, I don't think he was just above. He

211
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 2: was sixty. He and Pollard were both sixty three hundred.

212
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 2: And I love both of them this week. I mean

213
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: they're both. I mean there's no Gus Edwards, the only

214
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: the only difference. Buffalo is thirty first against opposing running backs.

215
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 2: Arizona is twenty third, and I think Pollard will catch

216
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: more passes, So if even game script doesn't take more pass,

217
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: game script doesn't take him out of the game.

218
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 3: I didn't know the numbers, but I was over here

219
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 3: thinking I'd rather run against Arizona than Buffalo. Just eyeball

220
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 3: test and their lines.

221
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: Better, much better, and the quarterbacks better.

222
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,079
Speaker 3: If you do them both, well, then that's over budget

223
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: on both both of those players for what we have left,

224
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: and we're gonna have to go cheap at wide receiver.

225
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: And I don't want to go cheap at wide receiver.

226
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 2: You wanna go Dobbins, Yeah, all right, Dobbins and Warren,

227
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 2: Let's go Warrnton. Warren's actually cheaper. Oh that's my next question.

228
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: All right, that gets us. Now we can spend an

229
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 2: average of sixty three hundred per wide receiver.

230
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: In the flex three spots, right, that's three spots in

231
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: a flex SO three and flex or two and a

232
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 3: flex three receivers in a flex we can average sixty

233
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 3: three hundred Justin Jefferson eighty five hundred against Detroit, which

234
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 3: is twenty nine against opposing wide receivers without Hutchinson. Jamar

235
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,440
Speaker 3: Chase eighty four hundred Cleveland is twenty third against opposing He.

236
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: Looks great too. A Monroe. Saint Brown eighty three hundred

237
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: Minnesota is thirty second against opposing wide receivers. AJ Brown

238
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: eight thousand. Cooper Cup is seventy nine hundred. Sounds like

239
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 2: he's playing. Stefan Diggs seventy seven hundred, Malik Neighbors seventy

240
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: five hundred. Philadelphia's twenty six against opposing wide receivers. He

241
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 2: has no injury designations. Tyreek Hill no is seventy three hundred.

242
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 2: I don't care. Mike Evans seventy two hundred, Jaden Reid

243
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 2: seventy two hundred. Evans off the They're both listed as questionable,

244
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: but they're probably gonna play. Devonte Adams seventy one hundred,

245
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 2: Sejat Godwin seventy one hundred again Baltimore thirtieth hey. Udwin's

246
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: as good as Evans. Yeah.

247
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: I mean, if I had to pick one of them,

248
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: I'd just take the cheaper one, and he's a cheaper one.

249
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 2: Devonte Smith sixty nine hundred. Okay, Drake options Drake London

250
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: sixty nine hundred. A piece of that game, yeah, Terry

251
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,839
Speaker 2: McLaurin sixty eight hundred. DK metcalf sixty eight hundred. That's

252
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: too cheap for DK metcalf. I think mclaurin's a decent

253
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: option too. Deontay Johnson sixty six hundred. If he's questionable,

254
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: it would be our hookup. Garrett Wilson sixty six hundred.

255
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 2: That's the only thing that scares me about Dalton. What

256
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,359
Speaker 2: if Deontay Johnson doesn't play, Yeah, that would be a problem.

257
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 2: He's listed as questionable.

258
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: He played through the ankle injury he held out of

259
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: practice Wednesday.

260
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: Truly questionable ahead of the four o'clock kickoff. I don't

261
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: like that, but we might need to pivot off at Dalton.

262
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 2: Garrett Oilson sixty six hundred. Zay Flowers sixty six hundred

263
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 2: against Tampa Bay, Yeah, they're twenty seventh against opposing wide receivers.

267

Speaker 2: Michael Pittman sixty two hundred one Del Robinson sixty one hundred,

268
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: Khalis Shakir six thousand, uh, Jamison Williams six thousand. Okay,

269
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: they're badigans. Jackson Smith and Jigba fifty nine hundred.

270
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 3: Who's jumping out? Here's there's a bus? I got too

271
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: many trying to keep him sword in my mind.

272
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper fifty eight hundred, George Pickens fifty eight hundred,

273
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney fifty six hundred, Jordan Addison fifty six hundred,

274
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: Calvin Ridley, New Romeo Dobbs fifty five hundred, Keon Coleman

275
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 2: fifty four hundred. Tyler Lockett is fifty three hundred, but

276
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 2: he's questionable. Jaylen Waddle fifty three hundred. Alec Pierce is

277
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 2: fifty two hundred. Pretty cheap for Jayalen Waddle. Yeah, well

278
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 2: they can't throw.

279
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 3: The football no, right, at least they're coming off with

280
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: nothing though, inlity nothing.

281
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: Slayton is fifty one hundred Xavier Lagette fifty one one hundred.

282
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: Who are some of the price your guys? You like?

283
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 3: We can come down to some others. So many, so many,

284
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 3: so many. Yeah, unfortunately you gotta pay for him. I

285
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: think Godwin at seventy one hundred is just too cheap.

286
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: A really good one. I'm gonna plug definitely something of

287
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 3: that passing game.

288
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like London. Yeah, I like Metcalf. I wouldn't

289
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: mind a piece of both sides of that game.

290
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I prefer London of the two, but I got

291
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: no problem with both.

292
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: Tank Dell at sixty you've seemed too cheap. Yeah, sixty

293
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 2: five hundred for him is still just a little bit

294
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: over budget. I got no problem with it. Okay, plugged in.

295
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 2: That gives us we can spend fifty eight an average

296
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 2: of fifty eight hundred on the last two spots.

297
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: I think there were running backs in the five thousand

298
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 3: range that we were kind of fond of. Yeah, you

299
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 3: want to pay up for another for another one to

300
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: get out of the wh topic, though, we can do that.

301
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 3: That gives us an average of fifty six quarterback. Who

302
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 3: else we liked there was? I remember we liked Baker,

303
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 3: but we liked some. I think Herbert we mentioned Herbert

304
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 3: was fifty five hundred, were right in the same neighborhood

305
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 3: in terms of cost.

306
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can blow them out though. Oh yeah, I

307
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 2: forget the quarterbacks we liked, but there was a couple,

308
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: you know, Stafford Stafford fifty Stafford at fifty six hundred.

309
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 2: I don't think it's bad at all with Cup, with

310
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: Cup coming back against the Raiders defense.

311
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 3: McVeigh after bye, mcvagh after bye. I don't love I

312
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: don't I don't hate that at all. No, I wouldn't

313
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 3: mind any ram action. I don't want to pay for

314
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 3: Cup yet. Yeah, fifty six hundred, Okay, yeah, yeah, I

315
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 3: think there's a decent floor there.

316
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 2: I know he's only throwing three touchdown passes thus far,

317
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 2: but I think that changes this week. I think so.

318
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, so that gets us we can average

319
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 3: a fifty six hundred here the rest of the way.

320
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 2: We need another wide receiver Jackson Smith and Jig was

321
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: only fifty nine hundred. Yeah, it's fine.

322
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm gonna believe you should Locket's questionable and

323
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 3: Lockett's questionable.

324
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna get the ball. I expect a lot

325
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 2: of points and that came to yeah, and then a flex.

326
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: We got fifty three hundred to spend on a flex

327
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 2: that would get us into well Locket DeVonta Foreman, Jaylen Waddell,

328
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 2: Za Charbonnet, Sam Laporta, Braylan Allen, Alec Pierce, Ray Davis,

329
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:39,360
Speaker 2: Dontavian Wickx, Jalen Wright, Darius Slayton Taylor with San Francisco. Yeah,

330
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: what are the algierre?

331
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: What are the vikings against tight ends on Laporta twenty

332
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 3: fifth mm?

333
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: Interesting? Yeah, we could actually plug Laporta in a tight

334
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: end and where that leaves us and see where that

335
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: takes us. He seems cheap. I like that idea. Okay,

336
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: so taking that out putting Laporta. Laporta done next to

337
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 2: nothing at this point. But he had a touchdown last week.

338
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 2: Say sorry, he might be turning the corner a little bit.

339
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 2: What the heck is he at here? I'm way down

340
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 2: in Okay, So fifty really cheap considering what we thought

341
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: of him going into season. All right, So that gives

342
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 2: us then fifty eight hundred to spend on the flex,

343
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 2: which should get us into a better neighborhood. Yeah, I

344
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: would think Amari Cooper Zach Moss, George Pickens, but brock

345
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 2: Bowers in in the flex. Yeah, I mean that's face

346
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 2: the same. Yeah, yeah, And we could change that if

347
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 2: we decided. Trey McBride in the flex fifty seven hundred,

348
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney in the flex.

349
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 3: I think I like power's better than all the receivers.

350
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 3: I think I might too, So we just basically, yeah,

351
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: we just switched their spots.

352
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm fine with it. So that's Matthew Stafford

353
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: at quarterback at fifty six hundred with Cooper Cup coming back. JK.

354
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 2: Dobbins at sixty three hundred, Jayleen Warren at five thousand

355
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: at running back, Godwin at seventy one hundred, Tank at

356
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: sixty five hundred, and Jackson Smith and Jig But fifty

357
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: nine hundred at wide receiver. Should get the targets there,

358
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: Sam Laporta at tight end at fifty three hundred, brock

359
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 2: Bowers in the Flex at fifty eight hundred. Just look

360
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 2: at him as a wide receiver. Yeah, and the somehow

361
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: I have the Browns defense in there. Instead of Cincinnati,

362
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 2: we went to Bengals defense. I'm glad I saw that. Yeah,

363
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: I think I got that backwards that's the problem. Yeah,

364
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 2: the Bengals defense is actually much Where are they at?

365
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: The Bengals defense is thirty three hundred. I screwed it up.

366
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 2: I read it backwards. Oah, so we got we can

367
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: get the Giants defense in there at twenty five. Look

368
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: at Sacks. Okay, we ben left over. No, that's it,

369
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: spend it all. I'm fine with that. So again, Stafford Dobbins,

370
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 2: Warren Godwin, Dell Smith and Jig but Laporta Bowers and

371
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: the Giants defense.

372
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: Okay, we didn't pay up for anyone massive, but we

373
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: don't have any cheap cheap guys either.

374
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean our cheapest guy really beyond the defense

375
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: is Jalen Warren. I think Jalen Warren is gonna have

376
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 2: a good game. I think he'll catch a handful of balls.

377
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and okay, I'm gonna lock it in,

378
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: all right, log it up.

379
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,080

401
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,760

402
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 2: except for this one, the nine thirty am game in London.

403
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: Don't forget to set your fantasy lineups. If you got

404
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: somebody the one in five Patriots at the one in

405
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 2: five Jaguars, Jacksonville favored by five and a half, the

406
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: over under forty two and a half. Drake May didn't

407
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: show up in our fantasy report there because it didn't

408
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: include say a No One for that game. It didn't

409
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 2: include the early early. I wouldn't mind the Drake Man

410
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 2: this game me too.

411
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 3: I picked him up last week. I think he's really

412
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: good for fantasy. In particular, he's be voll little. I

413
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: don't want Jags be favored by that much over anybody.

414
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like that they stayed there. They're there. Yeah,

415
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 2: that's that's the one.

416
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the one touched the game. I think they

417
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 3: probably end up winning. The old line that the Patriots shotted.

418
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: Out really bad, really really bad, like guys have never

419
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 2: heard of bad.

420
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 3: But Jacksonville the Saints last night was was the alongest line,

421
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 3: but just terrible body language, like don't want to be there.

422
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 3: I never felt the Saints had any chance to win

423
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: that game, and I felt the same last week with Jacksonville.

424
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 2: I didn't want to talk about that game. That game

425
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 2: was awful, brutal, brutal. It was like watching that that's

426
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: what would happen if you put an NFL team against

427
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 2: the college team. Felt that, especially in the second half,

428
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 2: just like know in the stadium, function could win right right,

429
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: can't function at all. That's what always kills me when

430
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: people said, well, this so is, this team is so

431
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 2: this college team is so good it could beat the

432
00:23:58,880 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: worst NFL team.

433
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 3: Couldn't chance. I mean the Saints last night would have

434
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 3: beat Bama. Yeah, you know by far right.

435
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 2: At three and three. The Seahawks are at the four

436
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: and two Falcons Atlanta favored by three. The over under

437
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 2: fifty one and a half.

438
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: I think Atlanta beats him by more than three. That's

439
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 3: a rough road trip.

440
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, Seattle's trending the wrong story. Yeah, they're hading the

441
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: wrong way. Yeah, and I'm wondering.

442
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're gonna be Tyler Lockett sellers soon,

443
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 3: but they might be a loss away from moving a

444
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 3: guy like that. They got really bad cap situation next year.

445
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 3: Atlanta's trending the right way. I do think there could

446
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: be a lot of points in it. I think it's gonna

447
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 3: be a high scoring game here. Yeah, yeah, but I'll

448
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: take I'll lay the points. Yeah, three points at home.

449
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 3: All right, that works. Seattle's had a lot of d

450
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: line injuries. I'm not sure where those are at right now.

451
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 2: The Titans at one and four, are at the Bills

452
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: at four and two. Buffalo favored by nine and a half,

453
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: the over under just forty and a half. It's a

454
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 2: lot of points. I think I'll take the points. Buffalo's

455
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 2: Buffalo's defenses and great.

456
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 3: If le Levis rows two picks six is Oh, that's

457
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 3: the that's the right cavey, that's the outlier there, Like,

458
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,159
Speaker 3: what is he going to do?

459
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 2: That's the thing that would worries me.

460
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna take the points, just thinking defense will

461
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 3: keep it close.

462
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. The best thing that could happen for the Titans

463
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: is something happens to Levis or he gets picked twice

464
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 2: or three times or whatever, and they turned to Mason Rudolph. Yeah.

465
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 3: I was looking for some Levis news because I saw

466
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 3: something pop up and I was just not finding it.

467
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 3: He's questionable for today's game. Ah, well, there you go.

468
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 3: Maybe he's Maybe it is Mason. We should hold you

469
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: out there, will If that's the case, I'll take the points.

470
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll take I'll take nine and a half. Yeah, Yeah,

471
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: it's a lot. Bill's coming off a big Monday Night win.

472
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: Short week, Uh, short week. Yeah. Bengals at two and

473
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 2: four are at the brown one in five. Browns Cincinnati

474
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,159
Speaker 2: favored on the road by five and a half. The

475
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: owner over under is forty one and a half. Joe

476
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: Burrow one in five in his career against the Browns.

477
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 3: About to go two and five. I have no problem

478
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 3: lay in those points. I mean, I think the Browns

479
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 3: defense will be on the field so much. And I

480
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 3: think Garrett's dealing with the foot something or other had

481
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 3: that all year, He's through it. I think it's both

482
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,719
Speaker 3: feet or something something strange about his feet to eat

483
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: surgery after the season.

484
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson. Deshaun Watson's going to be wearing Trey Hendrickson

485
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 2: so much it's going to look like he's wearing Trey Henderson.

486
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 3: The Browns points come from unless there's a pick six

487
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 3: or something. Defensive score. Yeah, all my leagues in the

488
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 3: Browns defense dropped him.

489
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: And I will say.

490
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 3: This, the Bengals have an NFL worst forty seven defensive

491
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: success rate against the run. Every other team in the

492
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 3: league is above fifty percent.

493
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: Wow.

494
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 3: So thirty one sea what that means for thirty one

495
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 3: teams basically, in a nutshell, are happy more often than

496
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: not when the opponent runs the ball. Okay, the Browns,

497
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 3: not the Bengals. Right right, run right, there's another first down.

498
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 3: There's another chunk on first down.

499
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: But I do think that again, this Browns should be overset.

500
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: The Browns haven't scored twenty points all season. I don't

501
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 2: know if they get to twenty in this one either.

502
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: I don't think so unless it's a defense or special

503
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 3: team scorer. I really don't.

504
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. At five and one, the Texans are at the

505
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: four and two Packers. Green Bay favor by two and

506
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: a half. The over under forty seven and a half.

507
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 3: I don't want to touch it. I think they're very

508
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 3: equal teams. The line is telling me that. I think

509
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: it's about right.

510
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I need to see what's what's up with the

511
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 2: jay R Alexander. Not that he's great at this point

512
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 2: in his career, but they could use him.

513
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: It's gonna be good to watch two young, fun quarterbacks.

514
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 3: I'd probably take.

515
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 2: I lean towards Green Bay at home, but it's more

516
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: of a watch it. Don't bet on a type game. Yeah,

517
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 2: at two and three. The Dolphins are at the three

518
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 2: and three Colts Indianapolis, favored by three. The over under

519
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 2: is forty three and a half. Richardson's back in the saddle.

520
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 2: I kind of like the Colts because I don't think

521
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 2: the Dolphins can function offensively enough to beat anybody.

522
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: I think they run for one hundred and fifty plus

523
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 3: yards behind Nelson and I don't even care who the

524
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 3: backs are, but Richardson, Now, I do think there's a

525
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,919
Speaker 3: chance coming off a bye that against a such a

526
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 3: heavy cover three team in a dome on a fast surface,

527
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: McDonald comes up with ways to get waddle hill and

528
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 3: a chan in some kind of space. I mean, Huntley's

529
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: not the worst quarterback on the planet.

530
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 2: Is No, that would be de Sean Watson. But right,

531
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: I got the Colt he couldn't make the roster in Cleveland,

532
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: but right, he'd be better than what they got. He

533
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: just saw sideways. I mean even when he was in Baltimore,

534
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: ninety percent of his passes were sideways. And he's not

535
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: a rhythm to Nope at all, not at all. It's just, yeah,

536
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: it's a bad matchup. Yeah, I like the Colts at

537
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: home At four and one, the Lions are at the

538
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: five and o Vikings Minnesota, Minnesota favored by a point

539
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: and a half. The over under is fifty and a half.

540
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: Do we think the Vikings get to six and oh

541
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: or do the Lions catch them?

542
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: I think the Lions can control things with their O line,

543
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: and frankly, if the Vikings are getting points, I'd take points.

544
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: I mean, if it's one.

545
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 2: The only thing that worries me about this on Detroit's

546
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 2: side of things is you're now dealing without eight and Hutchings.

547
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 2: Oh that's a massive, huge So like taking TJ.

548
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 3: Wat out of the Steelers, I think they might be

549
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: favored by one and a half on the road with

550
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 3: Hot yeah, I mean he's been that good and he

551
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 3: can close out games. It's a massive concern. And you're

552
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 3: giving a good coach two weeks to prepare and at

553
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: home that place is going to be insane. I just

554
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 3: some betting on the Lions O line and run game

555
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: kind of neutralize some of the flora as factor.

556
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take the Vikings. Yah. Yeah, I believe they're good.

557
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 2: I don't think they're a fluke. At three and two,

558
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 2: the Eagles are at the two and four Giants. It's

559
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: a Saquon Barkley revenge game. Philadelphia favored by three on

560
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: the road de over under forty two and a half.

561
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 2: I guess I like the Eagles in this one, but

562
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:03,880
Speaker 2: I don't love them.

563
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 3: I like the home dog. I wish Andrew Thomas was playing.

564
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a big deal when we start previewings Giants.

565
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: That's huge because the rest of their road line can

566
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 2: function well when he's one on one with a good

567
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 2: edge guy. But I think their d is better than

568
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 2: people think. No, it's a good defense. It's a good defense.

569
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: Neighbors is back. But I think Saque, especially after all

570
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: the stuff that you saw on Hard Knocks and all

571
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: I saw, he's gonna be highly motivated in this one.

572
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: Go off. Yep. The Raiders at two and four are

573
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: at the one and four Rams. The Rams favored by

574
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 2: sevens is such a big line. The over under forty

575
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 2: three and a half seven points. Should they be favored

576
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: by seven points over anybody. I still am taking them,

577
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 2: but I was shocked to and I saw that. I

578
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: thought it'd be four and a half, you know, I

579
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: thought it a lot of points for a bad team.

580
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: To lay. I know. I mean the Rams aren't. The

581
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: Rams defense is really bad.

582
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 3: It is, but coming off of Buye, I think Karen

583
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 3: Williams runs for a lot of RS cards. I mean,

584
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 3: and we have Stafford and thrown the cup. I think

585
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: the Raiders are broke.

586
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: They might ken't pick the Raiders No, I hear you

587
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,840
Speaker 2: on that, But can they stay within seven? Right?

588
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 3: I mean maybe if it was seven and a half

589
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 3: or eight, I can get there. But we also have

590
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 3: brock Bauers in our lineup, so I think that's all

591
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 3: they got. I've said that four hundred times in the

592
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 3: last two weeks.

593
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 2: I kind of like the Rams too, I just yeah,

594
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't bet on that Raiders team. The

595
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 2: one in five Panthers are at the four and two

596
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: Commanders Washington favored by eight, the over under fifty one

597
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:32,719
Speaker 2: and a half.

598
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 3: I can see Washington won this game like thirty five

599
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: to nothing, but I think it's going to be more

600
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 3: like thirty five thirty two.

601
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: Chuba Hubbard might run for one hundred and fifty yards. Yeah,

602
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 2: I think.

603
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 3: The Panthers offense is going to put up points and

604
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 3: this is going to be a fun back and forth

605
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 3: and then they'll lose in the end, so I'll take

606
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 3: the points. Yeah, Okay, Deyontay batters though Theyontay doesn't matter.

607
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

608
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 3: Back to our last segment, and they just lost the

609
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 3: Washington just lost Jonathan Allen.

610
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 2: For the year. Yeah, I mean that O lines up bad. Yeah.

611
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: Those guards they paid a lot of money for. And

612
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 3: you know I not trust in Jaden Daniels.

613
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 2: There.

614
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: You want Washington, I'll take Washington. I'll take Carolina. It

615
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 3: was over a touchdown right eight?

616
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? At five and oh, the Chiefs are at the

617
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: three and three forty nine ers San Francisco favored by

618
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 2: a point and a half at home, the over under

619
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: forty six and a half. I'll take the home team

620
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: in this one. I think they're more desperate. I would

621
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 2: not bet on it.

622
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 3: I really don't have a strong feeling, but I think

623
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: Mahomes is like fifteen and one when he's a dog

624
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 3: or something crazy like that, and Andy reid off a

625
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 3: bye is like one hundred and two hundred to one,

626
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 3: And I'm just picturing Reed walking around the halls going,

627
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 3: you know, they think they're better than us. Hey, Pat,

628
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 3: you know we're an underdog this week. It doesn't happen

629
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: much in Kansas.

630
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: City, doesn't know.

631
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 3: I also think the Niners are a sleeping giant. I

632
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 3: wouldn't touch it, but I would take the points. Whoever

633
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 3: got points in that game, I'd just take the points.

634
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 2: At four and two. The Ravens are at the four

635
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: and two Buccaneers some Monday night or right, yeah, two yeah,

636
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 2: one to two Baltimore giving three and a half points.

637
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 2: The over under forty nine and a half place can

638
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 2: belubed up. We know Lamar doesn't typically lose too NFC teams, right,

639
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: but three and a half on the road.

640
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take the Ravens. But there's two things working

641
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 3: against him in my opinion. Is Baker Godwin Evans. I

642
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 3: mean I think that they will throw for yardage and Vidavea.

643
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 3: I mean Vidavea won't affect Lamar's life all that much.

644
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 3: But the Henry Uptam Gut stuff is gonna be.

645
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: Harder than usual.

646
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's gonna Linderbaum's a really good player,

647
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: but he's seventy pounds less than that.

648
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know that I want to touch a

649
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: lot of these games this week.

650
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: They're just good ones at but there are over unders

651
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: that are out there to be had here.

652
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 2: I would take the Ravens, but that's the right. Just

653
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 2: knowing lamar Our record against NFC teams, I would take

654
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: the Ravens as well, but I'd be more inclined to

655
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 2: that forty nine and a half going over. Yeah, I

656
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 2: don't know the either team stops the other one. Yeah,

657
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: we can see that. I don't think Tampa even tries

658
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 2: to run your second Monday night game, you be.

659
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great thing about the two.

660
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 2: Kind of like that one stays on the iPad and

661
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 2: the one's on TV. The three and two Chargers are

662
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,359
Speaker 2: at the two and four Cardinals. The Chargers favored by

663
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: two and a half. The over under is forty three

664
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 2: and a half. I really like the Chargers in that game.

665
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 2: I think they run for a million yards. They'll be

666
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 2: the more physical team.

667
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're yeah better coach. I think their

668
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 3: defense is pretty legit. It's under under a field goal.

669
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: Probably the better quarterback, although they don't call upon them

670
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,479
Speaker 2: all that much. And I think they're o line rules

671
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 2: to day. Yeah, I'm with you. I think I like

672
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 2: the Chargers in that one, even though I don't necessarily

673
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 2: love that Chargers team. They'll be the more physical team

674
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 2: and they will beat the uh they'll beat the Cardinals

675
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 2: up at the line of scrimmage. Yeah, I think that

676
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: Cardinals to eat. It doesn't have enough players. Yeah. Yeah.

677
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 2: That's this week's slate of games except for we're one

678
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: which we will get to right after this. That would

679
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 2: be the Steeler game against the Jets. He is Matt Williamson.

693
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 2: at two and four, well before we get to the

694
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 2: Steelers picking the game. Got the Steelers injury report here.

695
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 3: Wow, okay, that came through already. Yeah, so it'll be

696
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: a pretty good clue. What's gonna say?

697
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 2: But all right, Yes, Roman Wilson limited again today. He

698
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 2: is questionable. That's a bummer, but yeah, be really shocked

699
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 2: he plays Nick her Big out, Zach Fraser out. We

700
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: knew that early in the week. Uh. Montrevious Adams added

701
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 2: to the report today, limited participant today with a knee issue.

702
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 2: He is questionable to play. Dylan Cook still on on

703
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 2: the injured reserve list right now. He got a full

704
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 2: practice though in today he's listed as they activate him

705
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 2: over the weekend, well they could, but they've listed him

706
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: as out. And then the only other guy listed is

707
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: out is Cordero Patterson, who still did not practice. So

708
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 2: to Heismith, we knew. Prove what we knew. Warren's fine.

709
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, so Roman Wilson and Montrevia Adams are the

710
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 3: only kind of game time decisions.

711
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens with those guys. I don't love

712
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: that new news on Adams. And typically what Mike Tomlin

713
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 2: will do will he'll downgrade a guy Saturday or upgrade

714
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 2: them Saturday, Yes on the water, how they feel, get

715
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 2: a little more knowledge, clarity, clarity. So at two and

716
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: four Sunday night, the Jets are at the four and

717
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: two Steelers. The Steelers honoring the nineteen seventy four Super

718
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 2: Bowl team alumni weekend. The Jets favored by two, the

719
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 2: over under a thirty eight and a half.

720
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 3: What do you got, met I got twenty two seventeen

721
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 3: New York. First time I've picked against Steelers all year.

722
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be a really good game,

723
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 3: and I could see it going either way. I just

724
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 3: think New York is desperate, desperate, and they got a

725
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 3: lot of dudes that have had a lot of success

726
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 3: in this league and realize two and five at kind

727
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 3: of cut it figs, you know. I mean, Tyron Smith's

728
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 3: not had a good year, but he's been a good player,

729
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 3: and I think he knows on a national stage how

730
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 3: desperate times are. And I bet they're feeling it from

731
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 3: ownership and and all that stuff. And I wish Zach

732
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 3: Fraser was playing. I mean, I don't think McCollum played bad,

733
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 3: to be honest with you, but one they had their

734
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 3: the old line injuries are making.

735
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 2: Me the thirty six yard touchdown run that Naujee Harris had, Yeah,

736
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: came with McCollum in the game. Yeah, it was to

737
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 2: play after Fraser got hurt. They ran the ball up

738
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 2: the middle, remember, and he bounced that to the outside.

739
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 3: So I think McCollum was quite good off the bench. Yeah,

740
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 3: all things considered, I just wish the old Lion was stable.

741
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: And you wish for that all year long, I know,

742
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 2: wishing one hand and New Year, you know, right the other.

743
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 3: And I do think Wilson will handle that better than fields,

744
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of man my right tackle or

745
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 3: my left guard or whatever it is having.

746
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 2: A really hard time. I got to make adjustments.

747
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 3: But I there's a chance Wilson's a little rusty too,

748
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: you know. I mean he hasn't played in a real

749
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 3: game in a while. He still would be my pick.

750
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 3: And if he looks terrible, I'm not gonna be like, oh,

751
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: he was just rusty, guys, I was right. Who knows.

752
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 3: I mean, we'll see what. I don't see how they play.

753
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 3: I think the Jets are dangerous right now.

754
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 2: I do too, And like I said, I've gone back

755
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 2: and forth on this game all week long. It's more

756
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: than a point. It's two points. The injury report for

757
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,240
Speaker 2: the Jets. I don't love with the with that secondary

758
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: I'm getting from the that's the strength of that defense again,

759
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 2: well not necessarily. It is a strength a strength, it's

760
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 2: a strength, and it's the way that they're set up

761
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 2: to play is to allow their defensive line to get

762
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 2: after people because they know on the back end they

763
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 2: can just play coverage. And if they can't do that,

764
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 2: I wonder how it affects how they play defense.

765
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 3: I mean, I have optimism for Austin, Jefferson Wilson, but

766
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 3: that's not exactly.

767
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: Mahomes and superstars. It's not. No, no, it's not. I

768
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 2: hear you. Yeah, I'm gonna go a similar score to you,

769
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 2: kind of in that same range. But I have this

770
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:13,320
Speaker 2: one going.

771
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 3: Over a little bit. You were right, would you say

772
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 3: twenty seventy you were one point? Oh yeah, point over

773
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: thirty eight and a half. That's not been enormous Steeler

774
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: games this year.

775
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 2: No, I think I've gone under every game too. I

776
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 2: think the Steelers are under. I think I think the

777
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: Sunday night games unders are thirty two and ten on

778
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football since twenty twenty two including six and

779
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: oh this season interesting, I wonder why that is. I

780
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 2: bet more unders have hit in general. Here's the thing,

781
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 2: and we talked about this yesterday when when the we

782
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 2: talked about the officials and Sean Smith's crew is officiating

783
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 2: this game. They've called eleven and a half penalties on

784
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 2: average per game. That's one of the lowest in the league.

785
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: The Jets are highly penalized. Yes, they have given up

786
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,479
Speaker 2: the most penalty yardist in the league. They're the second

787
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 2: most penalized team. The standalone games this season have seen

788
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 2: more penalties called because as we saw last week at

789
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 2: the Jets Bills with that in that standalone game, we

790
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 2: had a lot of buzzing in from New York. Yes,

791
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, and whether they get to call right wrong, No,

792
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 2: that's right, this is wrong whatever.

793
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 3: I'm not even sure why we have red flags anymore. Yeah,

794
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 3: we're just gonna buzz in and fix things, and why

795
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 3: we even throw flags, right, so we could see maybe

796
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 3: maybe it is the standalone games with the penalties, because

797
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,920
Speaker 3: I do believe you know, if I haven't researched this,

798
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 3: but the standalone games, every one of them this season,

799
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 3: it seems like twenty twenty.

800
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 2: Penalties Jets Bills set the record. Oh, unbelievable. This is

801
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 2: a dumb question. Does more penalties mean less or more points? Though?

802
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,760
Speaker 2: I think it means less points.

803
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 3: I mean because they're holding penalties and things, you know,

804
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 3: false starts and just to say, but the Jets leader

805
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,240
Speaker 3: the league and DPIs that leads to more points the

806
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 3: third most. But oh okay, they have a bunch. Yeah, yeah, okay,

807
00:41:58,280 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 3: I mean holds it, anything goes back.

808
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 2: But this is a crew that hasn't caught a lot

809
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 2: of DPIs. They've only called two. So does that benefit

810
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 2: the Jets? Does it? You know? I don't know. I

811
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 2: don't either. I don't either. Does it benefit the Steelers?

812
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, can you just grab a

813
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 2: hold of DeVante Adams at the at the top of

814
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 2: the route and just say, okay, you're not gonna catch this, Yeah,

815
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 2: I mean, get away with it.

816
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,959
Speaker 3: They call in a lot of holds on Watt and

817
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: Quinn Williams and high Smith and cam or not. You know, Yeah,

818
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 3: both these D lines are better than both these O lines.

819
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was gonna go well, I'm still gonna go over.

820
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take since you took the Jets, I'll take

821
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 2: the Steelers. We can't both agree on this. I'll go

822
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 2: Steelers twenty three to twenty. I can't wait. I'm looking

823
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 2: forward to this. I think it's that close to a game.

824
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 2: I think it could go either way. It could be

825
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 2: a turnover here or there, it could be a I

826
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 2: do think the Steelers have a big advantage on special teams, Yep.

827
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: I think that's absolutely important, and to me, I think

828
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 2: that matters in this one, especially in a game that

829
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: I think might be a field position type I mean Vegas.

830
00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 3: Since it's a two point game. Yeah, special teams is

831
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,279
Speaker 3: gonna matter. Yeah, you know, I think it is no matter.

832
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 2: And I think the chasm between the two teams on

833
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 2: special teams is large, is massive, one of the best

834
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 2: advantages going Yeah, without for either team. I just think

835
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,400
Speaker 2: that the Steelers special teams units against New York's special

836
00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 2: teams units couldn't be any farther apart. It's one of

837
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 2: the best, first one of the worst. Yeah.

838
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 3: So maybe, I hate to say, are they going to

839
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 3: block a kick for a third consecutive game?

840
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 2: Maybe, but I don't. I don't trust zero line at

841
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 2: all to make kicks, make a big kick on the

842
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 2: road at night at Akrocher Stadium. Right, Yeah, we don't

843
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: think of any weather, right. I don't think it's supposed

844
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 2: to be nice on Sunday. Okay, I thought it all weekend.

845
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 3: But it's still gonna be saying it's been nice during

846
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 3: the day and it's gotten colder at night. We're still

847
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: getting down into the forties and thirties night, so it

848
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 3: is going to be chilly. I don't think aither one

849
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 3: of these teams care about that. Yeah, and Rogers Playton

850
00:43:58,480 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 3: Green Bay.

851
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers twenty eight consecutive games under three hundred passing yards.

852
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 2: I saw the longest active streak in the NFL.

853
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, let alone by his standard. Yeah, he was awful

854
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 3: closed last week. He was close, he didn't get there.

855
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think they're gonna pressure him.

856
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 3: Oh, I think he's gonna get hit. Yeah, I think

857
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 3: he's gonna get hit. I think he's gonna get hit.

858
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 3: The quarterback must go down.

859
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 2: In fact, that might be one of my guarantees on

860
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 2: Sunday that the Steelers are only averaging two point three

861
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 2: sacks per game this season.

862
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 3: It's a weird prediction, and I'm not hoping for it

863
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 3: or anything. But it wouldn't shock me if Rogers doesn't

864
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 3: finish the game. I mean there was a couple times

865
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 3: this past week, right, a little slow getting up.

866
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, And he does not look happy or comfortable at all.

867
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 3: He hasn't looked happy all year, Right, he hasn't looked

868
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 3: happy in a while, but he just looked. I just

869
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 3: geta I can't get past the fact, Matt, that this

870
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 3: is a team that lost to Denver in a in

871
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 3: a game in which they gave up minus seven passing

872
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,280
Speaker 3: yards in the first half.

873
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they've had some low moments. I mean, that's

874
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: about as low as it get.

875
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 3: You gave up negative passing yards without a sack in

876
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 3: a game.

877
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 2: For a while, and you lost ten to nine. I

878
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 2: know Denver's got a good defense, the Steelers absolutely, And

879
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 2: that leads to fired coaches. Yeah, that leads to fire coaches.

880
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 2: So again, again, I don't have a strong feeling one

881
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 2: way or the other about this. And I just think

882
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 2: that this injuries in the secondary to the Jets are

883
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 2: a major issue in the Steelers special team's advantage. And

884
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 2: you know, the Jets have been a highly penalized team.

885
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 2: Maybe they do a lot of stuff. They're minus one

886
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 2: and takeaway or give away, the Steelers are plus seven.

887
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 3: These are traditionally two quarterbacks that don't turn it over much.

888
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 3: We haven't seen Russ all year, but Rogers has turned

889
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 3: it over.

890
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

891
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 3: I actually the biggest advantage of Steelers have maybe it

892
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 3: kind of has gone without saying all week, is Watt

893
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 3: and Heismith against their tackles.

894
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we talked about that earlier. Yeah, right, Yeah,

895
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 2: I think those guys cam against anybody on their interior.

896
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. They're okay. But he's great. Yeah, he's

897
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 2: playing maybe the best football of his career right now.

898
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 2: I think that's the Steelers' biggest advantage of game. Probably

899
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 2: special teams is next. Get the two old guys together

900
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 2: in the backfield a couple of times, smashing them. Yeah,

901
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 2: Rogers is the oldest player in the league. You know,

902
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 2: he'll be forty two in a couple of weeks.

903
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 3: I thought, I think his body's hurting, and uh, it

904
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 3: sure looked like against Buffalo. The way people talked about

905
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 3: Cam Hayward in the offseason, you thought he was the

906
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: oldest player in the He's not even in the top ten.

907
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 2: Se Does that include kickers, kickers, specialists, long snaper's much.

908
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,280
Speaker 2: A bunch of long snappers are in their late thirties.

909
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 2: But he's not even He's not even in the top eleven.

910
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 2: I looked it up the last time. I'm like, where's

911
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 2: he ranking. I'm like, he's not even on the list yet. Okay,

912
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: I do love that advantage. He's playing really well.

913
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 3: Oh, he's playing phenomenal. Yeah, I think the best players. Yeah,

914
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 3: So we'll see how it works out.

915
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 2: On Monday, we'll be back to uh well, talk about

916
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 2: a Steeler win or a Steeler loss. Again.

917
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 3: I'm with you if, if, if the Steelers lose this game,

918
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 3: there's going to be a certain set going to people

919
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 3: out there who are going to say, see, I told

920
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 3: you so.

921
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 2: They should have stuck with Justin Fields. Honestly, in this

922
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 2: game again, in this particular matchup, I'd rather go with

923
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 2: the better passer. I would too. I would too.

924
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean he's going to play great, or he

925
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:16,440
Speaker 3: might be the reason they lose. I don't have a

926
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 3: crystal ball.

927
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 2: But I do think down the road you're going to

928
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 2: need the better passer again, if you want to get

929
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 2: past the Ravens, who have the number one run defense

930
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 2: in the league. You're gonna have to be able to

931
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 2: throw the football effectively.

932
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 3: You're going to beat the Bills and the Chiefs and

933
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 3: the teams that you need to beat. Yeah, he can't

934
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:33,200
Speaker 3: be one dimensional.

935
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 2: No, he can't be that. That team and you're averaging

936
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty passing yards per game right now

937
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 2: and change. This is what they set themselves up for.

938
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 2: We'll see what Russell Wilson looks like in this game.

939
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 2: I expect a quicker passing attack, maybe some quick slants

940
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 2: and things of that, who knows. I expect Jaylen Warren

941
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,320
Speaker 2: to be a factor out of the backfield.

942
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's really good. We kind of forget about that,

943
00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 3: but he's really good.

944
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's been out of side, out of mind,

945
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 2: and you know, I expect Firearmouth to be a little

946
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 2: more involved this week too. And the tight ends in general. Yeah,

947
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 2: just a stable of them. We haven't seen Michael Prewit

948
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 2: out there, and those first two games of the season

949
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 2: when Michael Prewitt was out there, he's playing a lot. No,

950
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 2: he plays a lot.

951
00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: He was you know, outstapping fire mooths at times and

952
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 3: things like that. I mean he plays, does a lot

953
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 3: of little things for them. He may not have a

954
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 3: great stat line, that's all said, but helps with.

955
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 2: He's a good blocker. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that gives

956
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 2: you two plus blockers I think on the edges with

957
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 2: him in Washington. Yeah, so Washington's gonna be important in

958
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 2: this one too, I think so as well. That's gonna

959
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 2: do it for the show today, Matt good Week. Absolutely again.

960
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,160

00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 2: and talk about that and moving forward and getting ready

962
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,560
