00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,560

28
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: on social media for five James is not gonna be

29
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: on the question. I feel like this this should be

30
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: like a reality mini series in and of itself, just

31
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: following James five days without social media, like real got

32
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: looking at his phone, he has, he has and shaved sting.

33
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, baby co goes and tries to turn

34
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: on the TV and he like slaps her hand away. No,

35
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 1: you read a book. Oh my god. I'm I'm I'm

36
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: basically starting from starting from last night. I've only gone

37
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: to NFL dot com, the sports websites and that's it.

38
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: I've done nothing else, No Twitter, no Facebook. What else

39
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: do I even do? I'm not even dude, I'm not

40
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: even on Instagram through throughout the day. Then if there's

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: something you need to know from one of those other

42
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: websites you can ask us will be your eyes to

43
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: hopefully get you. They have his own personal for the

44
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: next almost a week. That is it, um, and that's

45
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: all I can do. So I do apologize, but we

46
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: will get to uh matchups we love and hate. I

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: think we're going to be doing a rapid fire mail bag.

48
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 1: We are. We're gonna hit some mail, bad questions and

49
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: well of course daily depths and then um top headlines.

50
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: But let's start by reacted to Thursday night football. Um,

51
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: it was a weird game because, uh, statistically it was close.

52
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: The game in real life was not close, but then

53
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: it got close. Yeah. So the final score. I know

54
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: this sounds weird, but the final score actually I felt

55
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: indicated how close the game really was, if that makes

56
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: any sense, because they got they were moving. Tampa Bay

57
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: was moving that ball pretty good. Yeah, they I rewatched

58
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: it because I was at Star Wars last night, so

59
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: I got back home, fired up, game passed and watched it.

60
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: We caught a little bit like here and there before

61
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: stuff and saw that the Rams got up pretty early

62
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: in the first half, but like Tampa Bay did move it.

63
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Doug Martin had like seventy some yards with eleven minutes

64
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: to go in the second quarter, but nothing. They couldn't

65
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: The trouble was they couldn't convert those into touchdowns. The

66
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: Rams punched it in three times, so then they had

67
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: to go pass heavy in the second half. And uh,

68
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: that's that's why Jamis went up to fifty past attempts

69
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: and someone who's playing Doug Martin in two of my

70
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: three leagues. I'm very happy about last night. I think

71
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston. I had to look at it. I gotta

72
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: double check this, but I think in the first half,

73
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: I think I saw him go for like six for twelve.

74
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: It was six for twelve, forty nine yards six twelve.

75
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: He finished the game twenty nine of fifty. He I

76
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: think early on he was suffering from some primetime jitters

77
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: because he was like rifling balls. He would be too

78
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: high over. He got in later and threw some night

79
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 1: nice passes. Also, we threw some nice passes. Was case

80
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: Keenum Like the case Keenum truthers out there would have

81
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: been real happy with this one, well, because case Keenum

82
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: is good for you know, I will say yolo balls,

83
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 1: but I mean he really goes out there and he

84
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: will let it rip. He was not afraid to go downfield.

85
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: He's not afraid to go after the big play. And

86
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: we saw some of that last I mean, I think

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: we were all amazed to be, you know, sitting around

88
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: eating dinner or whatever and looking up and seeing Kenny

89
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: Bridge who with the football in his hand. But I

90
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: mean that's sort of what you get out of the

91
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: case Keenum game. I will say this game was overall

92
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: better for him. He had some nice zip on passes,

93
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: he was accurate. He had a couple of really nice

94
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: touch passes that he dropped in the bucket. So this

95
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: was good. This was encouraging for him in the rams.

96
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: It still didn't free up Girly a bunch because he

97
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: still only had the eight yards and twenty one carries.

98
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: Twenty one carries. Was surprised he got in the end zone,

99
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: got some exture receiving yards, Like did he did his

100
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: job for you? He got almost fourteen fantasy points of

101
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: Standard leagues. You know, I'm playing against Todd Gurley. Um

102
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: who Matt money Smith has Todd Gurley on his fantacy roster.

103
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: Uh going up against Money in the in our what

104
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: is it our semifinals. Um, and I survived. I feel

105
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: like I survived because it was the game flow, the

106
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: way it was going. Girlely could have easily broke off

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: twenty points. Yeah, easily. They got up so big, and

108
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my gosh, I'll have to survive an

109
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: entire half of Todd Gurley. Not gonna be good. But

110
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: but somehow, some way, you know, fourteen points, it's a

111
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good number. It's just man, I felt

112
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: like he could have gone off in that game, and

113
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: he eventually did not. You know, we all get people

114
00:05:53,560 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: asking us advice. So my cardiologist just texted me, texted

115
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: me last night, Um and he and he said, all right, uh,

116
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: Martevis or Tavon Austin. Of course you say Martin Doc.

117
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: I was like, you can't, you can't bench Partevis. Tavon

118
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: Austin is so inconsistent. And he's like you sure. I'm like, yeah,

119
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell you so. So I actually have it to

120
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: go see him today. Um, he's gonna give you the

121
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: wrong meds. I don't. I don't know. He Hey, we

122
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: can give you these drugs, but I might have a

123
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: problem there, which why I mean I I caught some

124
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: flak on Twitter last and I I stand by what

125
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: I said yesterday. Is it basically, look, he has have

126
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 1: the ability to go out and give you twenty points

127
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: on any given a week, but he also is very

128
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: equally likely to give you two points on any given week.

129
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: So if you if you want to take the chance,

130
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: go for it. If you did, you were rewarded congratulations. Right,

131
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: Let let me give you what he's done standard scoring

132
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: eight point one, two point three point one point that

133
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 1: that's a pretty pretty low floor against Cincinnati, pretty good three, eight, five, nine,

134
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: And then last night nineteen I am not willing unless

135
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: I am absolutely desperate to take a chance on Tavon

136
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: Austin with a shot to go to my fantasy championship.

137
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: On agreed, great point. Tan Austin ended up with thirty

138
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: two rush yards in a touchdown. So Dr Condala know what.

139
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but Mark Tavis Bryant was the better play.

140
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: Please give me the right meds. Thirty two yards on

141
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: the ground and a score and then forty one yards

142
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: through the air in a score, had nineteen point three

143
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy points in standard scoring. Leaks uh Mike Evans, as anticipated,

144
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: got a crazy amount of targets. It's a bad matchup

145
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: on paper to well, it helps when you get yeah, exactly.

146
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: And he still had a couple of drops, man and

147
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: just he had That's so fascinating by watching Mike Evans

148
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: as he had those couple of drops sandwiched in some

149
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: awesome place like I know, excellent toe tapper on on

150
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: the sideline and got an the one where you're like

151
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: he's over the middle and you're like, oh, you could

152
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: take this for like forty and it's just like us.

153
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: But I said before the season started that I just

154
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: felt like Mike Evans is the new Vincent Jackson, which

155
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: is weird because Vincent Jackson gets to watch himself age

156
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: all over again. But I mean you look at you

157
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: look at his stats, it's like, you know, one we

158
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: you know he obviously he missed the first couple of games,

159
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: comes back with a ten, then a three and of four,

160
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: then it's twenty two, then a four. I mean, it's

161
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: just it's it's such an up and down thing with

162
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: him that I feel like this is just gonna be

163
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: who he is. And it's weird too because last year

164
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: he truly was one of the most consistent performers out there.

165
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: He scored every week, I know. I mean that was

166
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: the thing about Mike Evans. But nine catches one fifty

167
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: seven through the air. If you're playing PPR, you'll take

168
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: that all day long. Austin Sefarian Jenkins. I think his

169
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: status was a little bit in doubt coming into the game,

170
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: but ended up with three catches, twenty nine yards and

171
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Kenny britt we talked about to seventy one

172
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown there. Jamis Winston had a nightmare

173
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: first half, but man, in the second half, he really

174
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: came through. For those of you that were streaming Jamis

175
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: Winston against the Rams. But the final score thirty one

176
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: toe the Rams win. Are the Buccaneers finally finally, finally

177
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: mathematically eliminated from I know that they're mathematically eliminated, It's

178
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: pretty differ. They're still hanging around. They would need, I

179
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: think the Vikings to to completely fall apart down. Oh

180
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: my gosh, what is heppen? I mean, it's like you

181
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: watched this simulate. There's just this is not a playoff team.

182
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: They what's fun? Is there a team that's gonna be

183
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: fun to watch in the future? Absolutely? A lot of

184
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: nice pieces. Absolutely, Yeah, I love Jamie's get's like him

185
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: and Evans getting a rapport. They've got some good young

186
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: guys on defense. Doug Martin is still there. It's funny.

187
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: Is an animal. When you think of the best fantasy offenses,

188
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: you think Green Bay, think Denver? Do you think Indianapolis?

189
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: But moving forward, we're thinking Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, Jacksonville. Things

190
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: are changing, Things are changing. It's pretty great. I feel

191
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: like I definitely and I know we're gonna get into

192
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: this in future podcast, but I just feel like the

193
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: Jacksonville train. It's nice on paper, but man, sometimes I

194
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: I feel like that train is gonna fall apart next year.

195
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: All right, here's the thing. Uh, that's all we care

196
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: about is what happens on paper. I care about that record,

197
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: right because a bunch of nerds like this is the

198
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: and D man. As long as they check the right boxes,

199
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: we're good to go. We gotta throw that twenty side

200
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: of diet. See what happens. Okay. I don't care if

201
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: Bordles goes you know, six and ten, if he drops

202
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: thirty six touchdowns on the opposing defense next year, right,

203
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,559
Speaker 1: all right, let's get do top headlines, the camera highlights

204
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: in the world of sports, breaking breaking news. They continue

205
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: to follow breaking news, news, your wife. It was a

206
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: crazy Wednesday for the Seattle Seahawks. They signed Bryce Brown,

207
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: the third Buffalo Bills running back they have on roster,

208
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: so true. Then they cut the guy who we thought

209
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: was going to be the primary bull career touches just

210
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: last week. Is out of a job a few days later,

211
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: but he's on the Ravens practice squad now. And then

212
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: they resigned the mighty Christian Michael. He won't he won't die.

213
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: He's back. He's like Michael Myers. Um I gotta. I mean,

214
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: I know the Seahawks can run the ball. Bryce Brown young,

215
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: I think he's just twenty four years old. Uh. An

216
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: explosive athlete if you look at some of the NFL

217
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: highlights he had, Like Bryce Brown has been in the

218
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 1: league for Remember remember a couple of years ago when

219
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: he wasn't the guy in the absence of Shady. I

220
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: remember one game against the Boys, he destroyed us. He

221
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: went um and and he's got that kind of athleticism.

222
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: The problem is he can't block and he can't hold

223
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: on to the ball to save his life. Those are

224
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: kind of important things to do, especially for a team

225
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: like the Seahawks. So, um, look, I know Bryce Brown

226
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: is right now. I think he's the starter. Um, Christian

227
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,440
Speaker 1: Michael's there, He's gonna be taking some work, I would

228
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: imagine because he knows the system. But Gosh, the more

229
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: I start thinking about it, and I know the coaching

230
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: staff has said, Fred Jackson, are you going with right now?

231
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: Are you going? I'm just gonna follow you down this path.

232
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: I know the coaching staff has said Fred Jackson is

233
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: going to be a third down guy. But the more

234
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: I start thinking about it and the skill set and

235
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: what this team needs right now, I start thinking that

236
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson is gonna get the bulk of the work. Well,

237
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: if you want to trust that this week, I'm not

238
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: touching that. Well, let me ask you this. Are you

239
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: are you just as are you much more comfortable and

240
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: trusting Bryce Brown? I don't want any part of any

241
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: I mean, out of the three, if I had to

242
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: start one, I'm starting Brown, just like in Carolina. If

243
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: I gotta start one of the three, I'm starting Fozzy.

244
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: But I don't like it. Both are Backfie. I'd rather

245
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: watch if possible, and I'll pick up the guys, but

246
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: I'd rather watch it play out this week if at

247
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: all possible. In the Experts League, I lost Thomas Rawls,

248
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: so I picked up Fozzy, I had James White, and

249
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: I picked up Bold that I'm playing bolding. Look, I

250
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: I with Carolina. I kind of agree with Matt money Smith.

251
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: I know he was saying it on the show on

252
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live kind of to be trolling. But Mike Tilbert

253
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: might be a better option than Yeah or camer Artist

254
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: because I can totally see him scoring a touchdown against

255
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: the Giants the Rundy target, so he could get a

256
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: couple of carries, he'll definitely get the goal line work.

257
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: Like Mike Tilbert might be a better option out of

258
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: all three of them. Um, you might be right, um,

259
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: And I don't know what the heck to do there. Um.

260
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart has been ruled out speaking in that Carolina backfield,

261
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: so they named Fazy Whittaker the starter. Um, I think

262
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: the Sharps kind of figure. Uh. The artist known as

263
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: Campaign might get a lot of the work. That was

264
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: there was a report about that. I thought I remember

265
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: seeing from like somebody at ESPN like a week even

266
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 1: before Stewart got injured, right, Yeah, that if Stewart went down,

267
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: so we were all deceived by a lie. Well, and

268
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: that's why now we don't know what to trust, Like

269
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: is Ron Rivera telling the truth with Fozzy? Was that

270
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: the truth before? Is it all gonna be like Tilbert?

271
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: We don't know. I feel like I feel like this

272
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: is some version of inception. I gotta be honest. I

273
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 1: don't think that trying to figure this out is predict

274
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: I don't think the coaches. No, maybe they were hand

275
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: right right. If Whittaker goes out there in balls, then

276
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: he could get fifteen touches in Seattle. If Bryce Brown

277
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: goes out there and goes nuts. It's it's sort of

278
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: one of those things whereas a fantasy fan, even an analyst,

279
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: we're interested to see what happens well, because it's hard

280
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: to predict. I do think there's some truth to that,

281
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: because you are in a situation if you're Pete Carroll,

282
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: were Bryce Brown and Kristen Michael have kind of been

283
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: foist upon you last minute? I mean you know you hoist.

284
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: I mean you started the season with Marshawn Lynch and

285
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: then you know you were you had to go to

286
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls because of injury. Now Rawles gets hurt out

287
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: of nowhere and you really are scrambling to find somebody.

288
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: So I do think that they are taking a look

289
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: at these guys during the week and trying to figure

290
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: out who the best option is. So I do think

291
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: there's an element of the of the coaches only in

292
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: this bonkers season are Tim Hie Tower, Fuzzy Whittaker, Brandon

293
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: Bolden uh all relevant in the second week of the

294
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: fantasy And there's more too. It's just like Harmon said,

295
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: he's starting Powell and you can argue could be a

296
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: better option than Whittaker or Bryce. Right, Yeah, that's like

297
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense is bad against the run. That's alright.

298
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: So in Seattle and in Carolina a little bit of

299
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: a mess in the running back situation. I didn't want

300
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: to talk about Greg Olsen there in Carolina as well. Um,

301
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: he left that game with a pretty scary looking knee injury,

302
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: clutching at it in pain. Is that the new thing

303
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: now to act like Paul Pierce on the field and

304
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: then just come back the next game. Uh? We saw

305
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: that with Rob Gronkowski didn't come back the next game,

306
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean. He did say that

307
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: was the most pain he'd ever felt in his life, though,

308
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. He broke his forearm, for god say,

309
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: shattered it into pieces. Maybe I think he bruising a

310
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: bone too. I don't. I don't know. I I don't.

311
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: I haven't had that series of injuries like that, so

312
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: I can't speak from it, but I don't. Look. I've

313
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: I've broken my forearm, torn a rotator, uh and um,

314
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 1: and I've also had appendicitis. I've had three surgeries in

315
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: my life. I wish I only had three surgeries in

316
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: my life. And uh did all of yours come from

317
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: that one time? Dude? No, I had Let's see, so

318
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: wisdom teeth? Is that a surgery that doesn't count when

319
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: back when I was like twelve, it hurt, it is,

320
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: but I could still surgery. So all right, so we'll

321
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: go with right. I blew out my a c L

322
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 1: playing basketball, so that's surgery number two. And then I

323
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: tore the meniscus in that knee a year or two later,

324
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: so that's another surgery. Um I had uh deviated septum

325
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:14,199
Speaker 1: surgery twice. UM I had a an ablazeing because of

326
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: my heart condition um, which is probably the scariest one

327
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: and ended up and ended up being the easiest one.

328
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: Then when I had that accident, I had surgery on

329
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: my septum. My face, I look like freaking Frankenstein. I've

330
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: had a lot of surgeries. I hope I don't have

331
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: any surgeries the rest of my life. We can rebuild him,

332
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: we have to. I've had enough. I've got titanium in

333
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: my face. I mean that's always fun. Do you beat

334
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: when you go through middle detectors? Luckily I don't. I

335
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: used to because of my forearm um uh plates in

336
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: my form. But yeah, I don't know what's got Greg.

337
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: Somebody worried about playing him this week. I am not.

338
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: I am a hundred percent. Look, these guys have a

339
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: playoff berth clinched up. I know they keep saying want

340
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: to chase sixteen and Okay, I get it. That's fine.

341
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: But Greg Olsen is your primary guy trying to catch

342
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: that football for for Cam Newton. He's got to be

343
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: healthy going into the playoffs. You're gonna risk playing him

344
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: right now? Well, I just but it's week, don't It's week?

345
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: And so if you are the Panthers. If you or

346
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: anybody excuse me, um, you're not gonna start resting you guys,

347
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: because you're not resting what week, fifteen weeks, sixteen weeks, seventeen,

348
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: then a boy. I mean, you're talking about potentially having

349
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: him missed a lot of time. He's playing this he's

350
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: he's playing. But how much is my concern? I don't

351
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: know if I'm unless there's like Eric excuse an Eric

352
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: Ebrown or somebody to stream in a great matchup and situation,

353
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'd be comfortable enough putting Olsen

354
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 1: on the bench knowing he's going to play. It's the

355
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: same thing as like what you're gonna bench Cam Newton

356
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 1: because they may rest him because no, no, But this

357
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: is totally different system. He's he's injured. I mean, regardless

358
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: of whether or not he wants to play, he's injured.

359
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: The guy's dinged up. From a team standpoint, it doesn't

360
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: make sense. I mean, And here's the other thing. I really, truly,

361
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: honestly believe they could go out on the road and

362
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: still beat the Giants without Greg Olson. If they could

363
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: do that, why play greg Olson? Everyone seems to think

364
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 1: this is the game the Carolina loses because the Giants

365
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: have that sort of uh that they have that sort

366
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: of like Giant Killer, not to you know, use use

367
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: their nickname in the phrase, but because you know that

368
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: they beat the Patriots and and and people see them

369
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,199
Speaker 1: as a as a major threat to sixteen, you know

370
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: for Carolina, which may or may not be true, but

371
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: U from a fantasy standpoint, you've got to hope that

372
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: game is close because if Carolina is blowing them out

373
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: in the second half, then you will see Greg Olson

374
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: and all those guys, maybe even Cam Right. So I don't,

375
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,919
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't quite buy into that this is

376
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: the one that's going to trip out the Panthers. Well,

377
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just kind of what you hear. Yeah,

378
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: I know, I know people have been saying those Giant

379
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: Killer teams were different teams and they were better team

380
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: they were better teams, and they none of that. None

381
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: of those teams had a player as good as Odell Beckham,

382
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: but they overall were better teams. Yeah. The defensive lines

383
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: for those teams were just stacked. Oh my gosh, unbelievable.

384
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: All right, Um, so we'll we'll keep an eye on that,

385
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: of course, on DFS. I just can't see you paying

386
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: that valuation for Greg Olsen. So that kind of goes

387
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: without saying all right, um, I did want to talk

388
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: about New England as well, Blunt of Lagett Blunt on

389
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: season and I are, um, what do we expect from

390
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden, James White? And oh, by the way, Steven

391
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: Jackson scene in New England? He worked out well, he

392
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: worked worked out the Patriots, but he's not fitness get

393
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 1: his lift on or something. No. I think I think

394
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: Bolden and White are both like flexible this week Bolden

395
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: should get They've even come out and said Bolden should

396
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: get all the early down work. And then there was

397
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: some you know, nice puff pieces coming out afterwards about

398
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: Tom Brady saying James White has earned not only his

399
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: trust but everybody else's because he's stepped up and delivered

400
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: on his opportunities. So I will say I've feel better

401
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: about them hyping James White this year than we did

402
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: last pre season. You remember the well, this this section

403
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: we've after, we've seen we've seen him word. But like

404
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: because we were the last preseason there was all this

405
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,959
Speaker 1: James White hype and there's like a whole weekend like, hey,

406
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: let's keep an eye on James White this week Like

407
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: on Friday, everybody keeping on James White this weekend. On

408
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Monday it was like noope, well but and speaking of

409
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: running backs and Lagara Plunt, I mean just just to

410
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: just to further prove the point of how ridiculous this

411
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: season has been. If you go down the list the

412
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: Garret Blunt for the Patriots injured, right, Uh, then you've

413
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: got Levian Bell injured, Justin Forcet injured. Um, let's go

414
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: down Arian Foster injured, t J Yelden, You're gonna you're

415
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: gonna miss him this week. Um, then you go down

416
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: to Kansas City, Jamal Charles injured. Uh, you got Washington

417
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: his Were you taking us down this rabbit hole? I

418
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: am basically just saying that this has been an unbelievable, okay,

419
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: difficult season based on the players and where you drafted them. Sure,

420
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,479
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris terrible this year. Joe Randall was a sleeper

421
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: in a lot of people's minds. Hasn't done anything. Eddie

422
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: Lacey was not good until November. Um My Forte was

423
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: injured this season. The Lions haven't had a back you

424
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: can trust Jonathan Stewart is now injured. Um, the Saints

425
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: of Los mark Ingram, you know who else, Jason Sean

426
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,679
Speaker 1: Lynch is It is ridiculous. C J Anderson, Cjon c

427
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: J Anderson. Basically everybody injured, every everybody the entirely. And

428
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: that's why we're talking about Tim hight Tower, Brandon Bolden,

429
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: Bryce Brown, and Fozzy Whittaker. In week fifteen. C J.

430
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 1: Anderson limited in practice through stay. I'll take that as

431
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: a seg Well, I like it. I said, I saw

432
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 1: where you were going. Yes. Uh. Kubiak says he will play.

433
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: Do you buy it. I'm not playing him. I'm not

434
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: playing either one of those running backs against Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. Yeah,

435
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: maybe a flex if I have to, Um, if I

436
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: would be excited. I'm excited that c J. Anderson sounds

437
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: like he's gonna play and he's practiced because he was

438
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: you know, the emergency RB last week. He just stood

439
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: on the sideline. But not a great matchup, especially with

440
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: Oswald under center. I don't know what's gonna happen that well.

441
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,959
Speaker 1: This is the official podcast sponsored by the Steelers Run Defense.

442
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: This is true. This is true. So there you go. UM,

443
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: Matt hasselbig back in practice but limited. Um. Look, he's

444
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 1: in a lot of pain. He's been clearly untrustworthy for

445
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,400
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Uh do you play him at all?

446
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: Or and wasn't really? Yeah? Probably not? But what does

447
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: it really mean for guys like t Y Hilton? Also

448
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: injured Dante Moncrief was in a walking boot as well.

449
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: He looks very unlikely to play on Sunday, but they

450
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: haven't officially ruled him out yet but um, at least

451
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: as of this taping on Friday, but we we may

452
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: get a different um status update later in the afternoon.

453
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: But but again, what was it mean for the Indianapolis

454
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: Colts offense? I guess we'll focus on t Y Hilton

455
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: and maybe even what does it mean for Frank Or?

456
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: I don't want any part of any of it. I

457
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: do not want I Uh, I have Frank Gore in

458
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: a league where I've just been decimated with running backs,

459
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: and I think I'm gonna start Jeremy Hill and Chuck

460
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: Kendrick West and tough matchup over Frank or this one.

461
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: I like it. I just I fear. I fear for

462
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: that offense with white hairs s under there Moncriefinger like

463
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: the offensive line already being what it is. Well, do

464
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: we know for sure that Hasseback is not playing. It's

465
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 1: just sounds very unlikely. He's saying he having he's having

466
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: trouble breathing. Yeah, he's having trouble back and it's still

467
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: incredibly painful. But I mean, who knows. I mean, you know,

468
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: earlier this year he was what definitely ill and wasn't

469
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 1: sure he up straight after this year. This is like

470
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: the I think I'm time to retire from hassleback. You know.

471
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: It's like also taken on a Texas defense that has

472
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: been playing very very well at a very high level. Um,

473
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: I know J J. Watt's kind of dealing with the

474
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: little thing, but overall the Texas defense, Jadeveon Clowney showed

475
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: up last week and if he does that again. He's

476
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: been showing up a lot, just not in the box score, right.

477
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: He's been blowing some plays up. He's been doing some stuff.

478
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: But that's the kind of thing that you don't see

479
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,399
Speaker 1: in the stat thing. And that's when people are like

480
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 1: clear back in five sex so much better than Cloudy.

481
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: It's like like calm, calm down. But that d line

482
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: against fourty year old and injured Matt Hasselbeck or Charlie White.

483
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: Jesus okay, I will avoid, thank you very much. I

484
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: think the Texas defense is is a pretty nice streamable

485
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: option for sure as well. All right, Uh, Tyler Eifford

486
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: hasn't practiced um at least as the Thursday, right, he's

487
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: going through that concussion protocol sounds. I don't know if

488
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: another injury that's gonna hurt people hard to replace. If

489
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 1: you're looking for a replacement Richard Rodgers, I mean, if

490
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: you got to go deep Ricky Broun, don't will tie.

491
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: I mean, he doesn't have a great matchup, but he's

492
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: a decent option as well. Lots of volume. Yeah, I

493
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: don't mind the wild type play at all. Uh. I

494
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: guess deep deep, deeper you can maybe get like Clive

495
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: Walford against the Packers if you're in a PPR league.

496
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean Vernon Davis. Vernon Davis is a good option

497
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: to this week. Well, he had seven catches last week

498
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: and he dropped what would have been like another So

499
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, but but I mean, dude, we're in desperate here.

500
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: This is this is not literally you're literally It's basically

501
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: like going into the dumpster. There you go. Um. By

502
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: the way, all these all these running back injuries, it

503
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: really truly does make you appreciate some of the all

504
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: time greats and why they were so great. Like I

505
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: think about La Danian Tomlinson, right, the dude was never hurt.

506
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: He never fumbled either. I mean he I think he had.

507
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 1: There was like a stretch where he had like one

508
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: fumble in in two and a half season. Even Mark

509
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: Marshall was pretty durable to mar until the end of

510
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: his career, right exactly, but he was very durable. I mean,

511
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: you think about these guys, man, that's why these guys

512
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: are so dope. Man, Like La Danny just was never hurt.

513
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: Like I toted the rock thirty five times, didn't matter

514
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: good times. Yeah, I missed those days. Man, when yeah,

515
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: who am I going to draft? You know, Priest homes

516
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: Emmett Smith, Barry Sanders, the Danny and Tomlinson, Sean Alexander. Oh,

517
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: life was so good. I think there's good. I do

518
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: think there's a chance for some of that to come back.

519
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about the guys who got hurt,

520
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: and some of them are guys on the end of

521
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: their careers. I mean, you know, Marshawn Lynch is a

522
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: guy whose career is starting to wind down. I mean,

523
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 1: Arian Foster is the guy who's good for a long time,

524
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: but his career is probably getting closer to the end.

525
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: So now there are there is a new crop of

526
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: running backs. I mean, we can be excited about Todd

527
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: Gurley and Devonte Freeman and Melvin I think, but no,

528
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: I think Bevan Gordon will be better. I mean I

529
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,880
Speaker 1: do think, you know, if he will start to get better.

530
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 1: So I think hopefully there's a new crop of running backs,

531
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe some of these coaches will start to

532
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: realize that you don't necessarily have to platoon and go

533
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: buy committee because you do have a guy on your

534
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 1: roster who could be a workhorse back. I like it.

535
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: I like it a lot. Let's talk about some matchups

536
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: we love or hate. Um, fire up all your Cardinals

537
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: versus the Eagles. I'm assuming yes, ye, yeah, And if

538
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: you go back and look at Larry Fitzgield's numbers career

539
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: wise against the Eagles, dude, you like it. He he

540
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: just absolutely dominates them. So this could be the Larry

541
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: fitzgeriald game. He hasn't been great the last three or

542
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: four weeks in standard leagues, and PPR has been okay,

543
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 1: but um, this is a week. I mean, all your eagles,

544
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: all your eagles. Oh, David Johnson, He's in my top

545
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: eight running backs this week. I have him where. I

546
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: literally have me David Johnson ranked as my top guy.

547
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: I have him in my top three or four. Yeah,

548
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 1: I mean he's going to be an unsung hero in

549
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: fantasy because he was picked up off the waiver wire

550
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: and immediately put into RB one status dropping him on

551
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: the flip side. Is anybody playing any Eagle, I'd say,

552
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: I'd say Sprawls, maybe Dren Sprawls. And it's a lot

553
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: of a lot of confidence in those. It's a lot

554
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: of confidences, baby arts. I think Ryan Matthews is worth

555
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: a flex start to another offense that we all thought

556
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: was going to be Fantasy gold and instead not so much.

557
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: Not so much Packers Oakland. What do we like there? Uh,

558
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey, it's in a good spot. Definitely. Eddie should

559
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: get a bunch of Aaron Rodgers. Pretty much safe bet

560
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: to get you. Another defense though, has been tough, fun

561
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and pretty tough on wide receivers. I have Derek

562
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: carr Uh listed as a sit, but I wouldn't be

563
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: a bit shocked if this game goes like thirty five

564
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: would be fun. That would be fun. The Oakland side

565
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: of this has been really hard for me to peg

566
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: in rankings and stuff, because you're right, the green By

567
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: defense has been very good against quarterbacks, but on the

568
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: season they've been gashed by the good ones. Cam thumped him,

569
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers thumped him. Russell Wilson put up that. That's

570
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: my question, is like if I'm gonna put Car that

571
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: highly up. Another thing is Sam Shields is still going

572
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 1: through the concussion protocol. He's Green based top corner. Granted,

573
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,440
Speaker 1: they got some young guys playing well, but I I

574
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm with Fams. I could see it going into a

575
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: thirty two game. I could also see this being a

576
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: game where the Packers defense kind of shuts down Car

577
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: like a Mark Cooper's Got a foot thing type game

578
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: or something. Maybe I don't. I just have had such

579
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: a hard time getting a beat on this this game

580
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: in the Oakland offense rankings wise, well, they at the

581
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: end of the day predicting the fut Oh, yeah, it's not.

582
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: I'm the bottom line is Oakland's got They've got home

583
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: run guys, that's the problem. Like Latavis Murray's a home

584
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: run guy. Lamari Cooper at I mean obviously is a

585
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: home run guy too. It's just Seth Roberts could catch

586
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 1: a long one, right. I like crab Tree though as

587
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: a solid because he's more of their possession too. So

588
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: I also sneakily like Randall cop I think he was

589
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: to sit for fab when McCarthy took over the play

590
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: calling in for the Packers last week, much bigger emphasis

591
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: where I'm using Randall Cob and he still only scored

592
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: nine points. Yeah, but he was started to get the

593
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: touches necessary to do more. And this is this is

594
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: a game where I think if it does turn into

595
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: the shootout or they're going to do more more things

596
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 1: with Cobb out of the slot, I think it's a

597
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: good chance for him to exploit their corner. I think

598
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: they've slid d J. Hayden in the slot or they

599
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: might have just benched him. I forget where his status is,

600
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: but uh, this could be a good matchup for him. Yeah.

601
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: The Oakland defense too, It's interesting right, They've they've got

602
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: a couple of stalwarts on their Obviously Cleil mac is

603
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: doing things um and then the old Nacharles what's it still,

604
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: you know, making highlights style play there giving the sixth

605
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: fewest points to wide receivers this year, the Raiders defense

606
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: has been pretty tough. So I hear what you're saying.

607
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: I don't know PPR. Yes, uh, standard leagues. If I

608
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: could avoid Cobb, I would all right, Lions and Saints

609
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: start everybody, you know, dude, it's it's I'm starting Stafford

610
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: in one of my leagues this week, and I have

611
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: confidence it's starting. I say, start your Lions. I'm not

612
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 1: quite confident, No, not really. There are a lot of

613
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: people I'd start over. Drew Brees. Uh, there are a

614
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: lot of people I've start over, Brandon Cooks, high Tower.

615
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: I would start simply because volume, like, there's not really

616
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: anybody else there that I'm worried about taking touches. But

617
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: I'm not quite so big on the Saints. This week,

618
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: the Lions offense has been better and as a result,

619
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: their defense has been better as well. Um, I hear, I,

620
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. MG. I just I would

621
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: have it's worth at the point in the season where

622
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: it's almost impossible if you are forced to pick up

623
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: Tim high Tower. He can't. I'm worried. I'm worried about

624
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: him because the Lions run defense has been very very

625
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: good lately. Um, yeah, yeah, for a while now, for

626
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: the last like six seven weeks. But Hi Tower a

627
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 1: ton of volume. I like Willie Sneed in this game too. Yeah,

628
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 1: I like Willie Sneed. He is he still banged up. No,

629
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: he's good now. He had like a hundred some of

630
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: yards last week there, and he should avoid Darius Slay.

631
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: I think um lining up. I think Harmon talked about

632
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: it in a sleeper's column too, moving out of the

633
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: slot and stuff. He should dodge. Darius Slay has been

634
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: really good. Okay, there he goes. But you're you're also

635
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: not very big, I'm assuming with all the sligh talk

636
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,719
Speaker 1: on Brandon Cooks. Yeah, I don't have him ranked very

637
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: highly either this week. I don't. Yeah, I'm like he's

638
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: more of a wide receiver three for me. I'll probably

639
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: think I'm starting him in one playoff league, but I

640
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: feel great about it. He's got upside. He's definitely got

641
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: upside all right, Jack's offense taken on Atlanta. Yeah, he

642
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: starts drag wars. Yeah, I would say so anybody else

643
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: out there really get as good as Allen Robinson has been.

644
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean he picked up bad a week to have

645
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: a bad game for fantasy owners. Yeah, at least he

646
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: got that touched out. I know so far under what

647
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: he's done this year. The Atlanta defense has been has

648
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: some good FPA numbers, but they've been lately the trending

649
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: in the they've been trending in the wrong direction lately,

650
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 1: kind of in free fall. Not. The reason they were

651
00:33:12,800 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: so good against the wide receivers and quarterbacks too, is

652
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 1: because Desmond Truefont is a pretty good lockdown cornerback. Robert

653
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: Alford good, uh and uh. Allen Robinson's just too hard

654
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: to lock down though, So I think they could get

655
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: up Alan Hornson started everybody, man. I mean, I got

656
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: Shoelace in my top ten. I think I think he's

657
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: in my top ten to Actually, yeah, James Co happy

658
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: to hear that, because he picked up shoe Lace off

659
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. Playing him in the starting against money,

660
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: play him in the flex if. If if I got

661
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: anything here, it's it's the running backs. It's a la

662
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: Tavis Murray, Eddie Lacey, Denard Robinson. You're one, two and

663
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: three and for the second year in a row, second

664
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: year in a row, Matt money Smith uh is in

665
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: the verge of going a good championship on the shoulders

666
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: of a quarterback who he picked up off the waiver wire.

667
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: There you go, boom. Last year it was Brady son

668
00:33:57,040 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: of a gun sorry, and this year us Wilson James

669
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: James trap. What's funny is that two years in a

670
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: row he's done it and hasn't been running with Drew Brees.

671
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,399
Speaker 1: You know, he's cheating. Let's talk about Pitt versus Denver.

672
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: This could be a game where there are all of

673
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: the fantasy points or none of the impossible because the

674
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: defense is so good. Yeah, but Ben in that offense,

675
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: they are humming right now, So there's still a way

676
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: that they could produce against this Denver defense. I know

677
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: they've been really good, but they're so good. But I mean,

678
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: you know it is it's, you know, does good offense

679
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: be good defense or vice versa? Yeah, you know this

680
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: is a you know, does good pitching stop good hitting?

681
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: I mean, how does this work? Because the stealers could

682
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: go out and put up a nice number, or they

683
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: could get an immovable force in the unstoppable or the

684
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: immovable object the unstoppable mind. Just keep in mind, though,

685
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: that um Indianapolis several weeks ago. They put up some

686
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: pretty good numbers against that defense. So it's not well,

687
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 1: Denver's given up what one touchdown to a wide receiver

688
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: all year long. Like, if you're playing Antonio Brown this week,

689
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: you gotta feel better than you would otherwise because Denver

690
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: will will at least have a chance to shut him down.

691
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: They've done that to a lot of wide receivers. I mean,

692
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: Mark Cooper didn't have a point last week. You don't

693
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: have anything. That's that's they've only been. There have only

694
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: been two quarterbacks slash offenses that have done like anything.

695
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is the only quarterback to score more than

696
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: twenty fantasy points I think against them this year. Luck

697
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: might have done it or been just I think Luck

698
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,720
Speaker 1: did do it. I'll have to check back, but pretty

699
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: sure Luck had like over twenty points against Denver in

700
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: that game. Yeah, I think Actually what I think it

701
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: was was Brady at the highest Luck was just over

702
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: twenty as well, but I mean they've also have not

703
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: played slouch quarterbacks a lot of the times too, So

704
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: they have or they have they haven't, I mean they have.

705
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: They beat They beat the crap out of Aaron Rodgers.

706
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: They crushed Philip Rivers twice. You know, Alex Smith. Isn't

707
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: that what we would call like elite? But they held

708
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 1: him to like three points. Well, that's what I'm saying.

709
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: It's like they're holding Aaron Rodgers to less than ten.

710
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: I like, big, big band, especially what he's been able

711
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: to do this year with all those weapons on the outside.

712
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: But my god, it's so long, so we can we

713
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: can take a look, you know, if you want to

714
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: go through exactly who Green Bay. They played Cutler in

715
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: a week one and he's talking about Denver. I'm sorry,

716
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Yeah, Denver, Denver and wlack On they played

717
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 1: Flacco in a week one, Uh Flacco. This was when

718
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: Flacco ahead all of his weapons though they held him.

719
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: Flacco on the road though, is I mean he's he's

720
00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: never really been all that good Alex Smith. Alex Smith

721
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: can put up some good numbers, and he could put

722
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: up some stink bombs. So uh, and then you're looking

723
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: at Denver playing against Stafford. UH, fewer than nine points,

724
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: but that's when Stafford was really struggling. And then Denver

725
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: goes in and um, I mean fifteen points to Teddy Bridgewater.

726
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: They're they're they're difficult, the they're difficult to score points against.

727
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, I'm trying to find that

728
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: game where Luck had that. I'm pretty sure he had

729
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: right around twenty some thing like that. So it's not

730
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:08,239
Speaker 1: like Denver's defense and they've actually played some okay quarterbacks. Um,

731
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: you know you did say that they shut down Rogers,

732
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 1: So what do you what? I guess, I guess what

733
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: I'm what are we trying to get to here? But

734
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: what I'm getting at is that I think Van Roethlisberger

735
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: is still a top ten quarterbacks start this week? Okay,

736
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 1: And what about Antonio Brown, Martavis Bryant, D'Angelo Williams, those guys, Well,

737
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: I mean you're playing those guys and uh in one league,

738
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: I'm loaded at wide receiver. I benched Martevis for John Brown. Yeah,

739
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: let me ask you guys a question. Julian Edelman is

740
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 1: active this week? For example, Edelman or Martavis Bryant, mart Tevis.

741
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 1: I'd still go with Martevis even against the Broncos. I

742
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: think I think it's more of a concern of Julian

743
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: Edelman's playing time. I mean, you've got another healthy guy,

744
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: but Julian Edeman wasn't supposed to play again in the

745
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: regular season, right and they were talking about him coming

746
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: back in the playoffs, and all of a sudden, it's

747
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 1: week fifteen and he's coming back. Like it feels like

748
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 1: a rush job because they've had so many other injuries

749
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: that you know, if Julian Edelman can tie his shoe

750
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: without extreme amounts of pain, that they're going to play.

751
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: It also sounds like Bill Belichick line that that is

752
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: also happened done that. I trust everything that comes out

753
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: of his mouth. There's literally no reason to doubt him

754
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: saying anything, right right, Yeah, let's get these out of

755
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: the way right now. Don't start anybody from the Cowboys. Nope,

756
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: don't start anybody from the Ravens. I know, Buck Allen

757
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: people want to, but Terence West is siphening some Carrio's

758
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: terrible matchup. It's terrible offense. R I p Ravens offense.

759
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: Uh wait, no, d Mac either, No, no, run DMC.

760
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: He's been losing touches to Turbin two and they're playing

761
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: the Jets, who have absolutely demolished running backs recently. Plus

762
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,840
Speaker 1: Darrell Reeves is back Matt Castle and gonna move the

763
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: ball against them. I can't wait more out there. I

764
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: just I mean, it's the fans playoffs. If you can

765
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 1: avoid it, I would, I would try. I don't. I

766
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: don't think Matt Castle could drive this offense eight yards

767
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: at a minivan. Uh and the Vikings don't start anybody

768
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: other than Adrian Peterson. All right, so there you go. Alright, mail,

811
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 1: do apologize for that. It's okay, not really, but it's

812
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: it's week. It's week fifteen. Yeah, exactly real quick. Also,

813
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 1: we just we jumped over some guys. We kind of

814
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: mentioned him in there. Uh Lamar Miller is in a

815
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: good spot this week we mentioned Fabs Powell's not a

816
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,400
Speaker 1: bad play. Chris Ivory also in a good spot against

817
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys if you got him, and uh Jeremy Hill

818
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: and Jooe Bernard. This week, San Francisco's got a bad

819
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: run defense. AJ McCarron under center. They gotta think those

820
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: guys might have a chance to actually put up solid totals.

821
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: You gotta run. I'm a little bit worried about the A. J.

822
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: Green factor in that situation because, um, well with him

823
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 1: getting all the targets, Yeah, he'll get a lot of targets.

824
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: But I just feel like this is gonna be a

825
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 1: lower scoring game because they're gonna try to run the

826
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,960
Speaker 1: clock out. Um, the Niners will probably try to do

827
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 1: something similar as well. I feel like this is gonna

828
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: be one of those thirteen ten gross games. All right,

829
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: here's one more frisky one for you guys. I just

830
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 1: want to see what you think, uh Tyler Lockett or

831
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: de Marius Thomas, um Thomas, I'm gonna be frisky and

832
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: say Tyler Locke. Yeah, against the Browns with the hottest

833
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: passing game going, with no Hayden and with with no

834
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 1: running game, I'm gonna be frisky and say Tyler lock.

835
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: I kind of like lock it actually too, Alright, I'm

836
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: hoping for selfish purposes that doesn't happen. Has luck, he's

837
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 1: got the locket him. Yeah, he's got the luck. Lock

838
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: it and Russell Wilson's stack. That could be dangerous. That

839
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 1: could be dangerous. Yeah, he Money's um so he beat

840
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,480
Speaker 1: me last year in the championship, although I contend that

841
00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning beat me last year. And I hope that

842
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: Money does the right thing and plays Drew Brees. He

843
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: wants do the right thing. He wants to win. And

844
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: another thing too, Guys, if you're in your playoffs right now,

845
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: keep looking at that waiver wire and know who you play. Okay,

846
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: if you're playing a guy who maybe is weak at

847
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: a position, and you see a wide receiver or running

848
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: back for example, who's on the waiver wire, and you're like,

849
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: pick him up. If they only have they only have

850
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: Tyler Eiffert right now, get all the other tight ends.

851
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 1: You can lock them. Yeah, man can starts and love

852
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: and fantasy football. So don't be afraid to go out there.

853
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: Don't drop a valuable player, but don't be afraid to

854
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 1: go out there if you've got dead wood and you know,

855
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: put the screws to your opponent and be like, hey,

856
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: you needed a wide receiver and Tyler Lockett's on the

857
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: waiver wire, right, I'm not starting them, but I'm picking

858
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: them up so you can't get him. I did that

859
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,360
Speaker 1: to my dad in the regular season in our league.

860
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: I uh, you had Justin Forsett and it looked like

861
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: Justin Forsett wasn't gonna play. So I spent a bunch

862
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: of fab money on Jaborious Allen just to block him

863
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: because we were head to head so he couldn't pick

864
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: him up. It didn't work out, but it was fun.

865
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 1: I also now have no fab budget to spend in league,

866
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: so it's almost over. That doesn't help. It's all good,

867
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: all right, let's get to daily depths. Get out of here.

868
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 1: Do it he desit? Do alright? Daily Dap time. We'll

869
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: start with Marcus Grant. What's up, pal, Well, I am

870
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: daily dapping. Obviously, Star wars Mania has gripped the world

871
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: for the last however many weeks now, but uh daily

872
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: DAP to the game Lightsaber Escape. I don't know if

873
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: you saw this on the Google's Uh infact, you just

874
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,280
Speaker 1: go and I think if you google the phrase Lightsaber Escape.

875
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: It is a game that on the screen it is

876
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like a first person you know,

877
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: a p o V sort of game, and you use

878
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,120
Speaker 1: your phone where you pull up part of it that

879
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: you just go to a site on your your smartphone.

880
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: You pull it up. It works as your lightsaber and

881
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: it corresponds with what's going on on the screen. So

882
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: you're trying to escape. You're trying to escape. I guess

883
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: it's the Death Star or something, but basically stormtroopers are

884
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: shooting at you and you have to try to deflect

885
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: their blasters back at them as you try to escape.

886
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 1: I didn't do very far, but it was fun. It

887
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:45,959
Speaker 1: was a good waste of time for a little while.

888
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: But it works. It works. It's dope. Check it out

889
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: lightsaber your phone. Yeah, you basically just take your phone,

890
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: you like, pull it up, you pull it up on

891
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: your computer, take your phone, you punch something up on

892
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: your your smartphone and then you hold onto it. Like

893
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: a lightsaber and it works like kind of like a

894
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: remote control sort of. That is insane. It's awesome. Um, Okay,

895
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: that's cool. I'm gonna be trying that, or actually maybe

896
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,960

897
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: see a spoiler. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm

00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: not sure what will happen? WI kid, what's up? Well,

899
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: I'll give a daily Depp to Star Wars as well,

900
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: and I've been trying to wrestle it on with what

901
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: else I wanted to death, But I think I'll do Fargo.

902
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: I've wrapped up the season on my DVR. I think

903
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: it closed up last week. Season two I did, and

904
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: I finished it up on my day off. I was

905
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,280
Speaker 1: writing some other stuff. It's very very strong, very strong season.

906
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: As we've talked about before on here, like kind of

928
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: I have to admit I don't have a daily DAP

929
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:53,840
Speaker 1: because I'm again forcing myself only to the sports websites.

Speaker 1: I have not seen anything, um, and that's where I

933
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: get a lot of my daily depths, right social media,

934
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: see some funny stuff. You know what I will do this,

935
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: um so we put out I put out a tweet

936
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,479
Speaker 1: about whether whether or not we should cancel danger Zone,

937
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: and the social media response was out of this world.

938
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 1: This world. You designed it to peel back the curtain,

939
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: essentially to fail as a joke too, because the media

940
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: people at the office, we're like, oh, if you do

941
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 1: something like that, likes always tweets, right, so we put so.

942
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 1: I put out um so on Wednesday, if you didn't

943
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: see the show, we put out some mean tweets on

944
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 1: on on danger Zone, which got some pretty good responses.

945
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 1: But then you know, I was gonna cap it off

946
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 1: by saying I put a poll out there and most

947
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: of America wants uh danger Zone to fail. Okay, great,

948
00:48:55,000 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: But when we put it out there, it was overwhelmingly

949
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: in support of danger Zone. So I didn't want to

950
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: thank all the viewers and and uh and all the

951
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: folks on Twitter who did support it. I was shocked

952
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: by it. I was really funny. It's pretty funny to see.

953
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: I was really shocked by it. And I think the

954
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: final tally ended up being like five seventy five retweets

955
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 1: versus like, I don't know, like two hundred and fifty

956
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 1: likes or something. Here I'll get the official numbers real.

957
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 1: But but again I was very surprised by that. But

958
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 1: what day did you tweet this out? Again? I think

959
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: it was too I wanted to go Tuesday, you know,

960
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 1: I just go to my go to my Twitter page.

961
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing because I don't have because I

962
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: didn't tweet too much obviously. Uh yesterday. Oh here it is,

Speaker 1: thank all the folks that that supported Danger Zone. It.

967
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: It's a crazy, wacky, weird segment. Obviously it cuts through

968
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 1: the noise a little bit. But uh, I really truly honest.

969
00:49:56,960 --> 00:49:58,719
