00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: You are tuned about Drive on Home of the Black

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: and Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I am Dale Lally.

3
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: He is Matt Williamson, and it's Wednesday, and so we

4
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 1: still do so let's take a look around the league,

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: because this is always relevant, whether it's fantasy football season

6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: or not. Who's practicing and who isn't. Of course you

7
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: can still you can still do DFS. We'll find out

8
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: some stuff about who's in, who's out, that is motivated,

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: who isn't. Yeah, right, if Week eighteen isn't weird enough

10
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: to begin with, you know now it's even a little stranger.

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: I mentioned to you earlier before we started the show.

12
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson still not practicing for the Baltimore Ravens. I

13
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: think the question now is does he play the first

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs or not. You gotta ask the question, right,

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: you said Huntley is fighting something. The fact that yeah,

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: Huntley uh with wrist and shoulder right shoulder injury as well,

17
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: was limited in Wednesday's practice. That team has no momentum

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: right now, none Like do you think Lamar is just

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: gonna come rolling back in for a week. He hasn't

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: played in six weeks and he's just gonna be Oh,

21
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 1: we just saw what happened, DeShawn Watson. Still not right, right, right? Right?

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: I mean that's a seven hundred day layoff, is it's

23
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: a little bit longer, but still expect Lamar to just

24
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: step right in and go okay, here right right in

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City or something on the road. Yeah, absolutely, throwing

26
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: to Sammy Watkins who you just met, and those guys

27
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, a bunch of dudes that hardly play.

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: I don't like that at all. I wouldn't be comfortable

29
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: with the Ravens future right now. No, as as it

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: stands now, if they lose the game to the Bengals,

31
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: in the Chargers win, the Ravens go from being the

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: five seed down to the six. Okay, interesting, that's significant, right,

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: you know. It's it's a difference between when the Jacksonville

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: or Tennessee wonderful and going to Cincinnati or Kansas City

35
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: or Buffalo, Buffalo however that good luck with that, Yeah,

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's a much different test. H J. M. Waddle,

37
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: with the shoulder injury, was limited again on Wednesday. He

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,399
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily looked right. He's been a little compromised of late. Yeah,

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: they're still in it right, well, yeah, yeah, they need

40
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: to win. They need to beat the Jets. If if

41
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 1: New England loses and they win, even if the Steelers win,

42
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: Miami goes to the playoffs, they've got the tiebreaker over

43
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: the Steels. But Skyler Thompson looks took first team snaps.

44
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater they listed is limited today and he still

45
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 1: isn't throw any football and two is not even in consideration.

46
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: Do they like a little bit as they signed? It

47
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: tells you all you need to know. They signed Mike

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: Glennon to their practice squad today. They're planning on one

49
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: of those guys, both of them not being available, no question.

50
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean, two is not gonna be available, but they're not.

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: They're not beating the Jets with Skyler Thompson, I don't

52
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: think so. I mean, I think White is a much

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: better quarterback than Skyler. Thompson, might better Bridgewater. And the

54
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: Jets defense is its formidable right those corners can hang

55
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: with Tyreke and uh Wattle somewhat. I mean as well

56
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: as any team. Cann Scarlet Thompson. Get him the ball,

57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: that's the without throwing a bunch of them to the Jets.

58
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: They have no running game either. They're certainly not running

59
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: the ball against the Jets. Exactly exactly they're running game

60
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: is broken neither. Yeah, Trevor Lawrence with the toe injury,

61
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: was limited in Wednesday's practice, but he's playing that he's

62
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: been This has been Yeah, this has been normal for him.

63
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: What do you think of that game? I think Jags

64
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: crush on ye. Josh Dobbs is going to start. Do

65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: you think they'll be a Willis package? I bet there is,

66
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: Like I bet he sees snaps on purpose. Potentially. Has

67
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: he shown that he's dying a dynamic enough runner at

68
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: all to make you want to do that? When my

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: other option is Dobbs completing passes the bad receivers, I

70
00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: would have a wrinkle your wrinkles. Derrick Henry against the Jets,

71
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: as good as his numbers are against Houston in his career,

72
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: there equally as good against Ville. That's his hometown team.

73
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: He grew up right outside of Jacksonville. I mean, if

74
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: they win that game, it's because he went off, and

75
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: I guess that's possible. They kind of read they rested

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: him last week too. I'm sure he needed it, but

77
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: shame on you forever. If you're the Jags, when you

78
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: let him go for two d you know what I

79
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: mean with uh. Cliff Kingsbury said that Marquis Brown, with

80
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: a wrist injury, will play in Week eighteen against forty Niners.

81
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: New Copkins is not Yeah, he is out. The rumors

82
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: that he could be moving. It's gonna be David Blow

83
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: under center again for them. They're as bad as any

84
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: team in the league. I mean, like them and wasn't bad.

85
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: I mean he's not he's NFL player. Yeah, I mean,

86
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: I'm not killing him. He's not one of these rookies

87
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: is learning that has no clue. Um, you know, he'll

88
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: last another five years in the league. But Cardinals and

89
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: Colts and they're playing who have stuff to play for? Yeah,

90
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: and there defense just got embarrassed. Yeah, Yeah, that's gonna

91
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: be crush trail and Berks, with a groin injury, was

92
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: limited in Wednesday's practice. He's not wonderful, but he's probably

93
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: the best one that they got. And you can get

94
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: him the ball and bubble screens and easy throws and

95
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: slants and let him do stuff with it. That would

96
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 1: be a big loss for them. Mike White was a

97
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: full participant in Wednesday for the Jets. He's still dealing

98
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: with that rib issue, but he's he's going to start

99
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: this game. He's the best chance to win. Yeah. I

100
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: mean he's bat in the red zone, but he moves

101
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,600
Speaker 1: to football and that's big for where these two teams

102
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: are at right now. Yeah, that's the steel fan wants

103
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: to hear. They want to hear White starting Flacco maybe

104
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: just I mean he's been on the block, keep throwing

105
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: the ball to the backs and yeah, right right, I

106
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: mean he's been around the block. Miles Sanders, with a

107
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: knee injury, was limited in Wednesday's practice. They're in a

108
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: weird predicament, but they really are win. They have to

109
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: win this game. Yeah, I mean they've kind of backed

110
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: themselves into a corner there must win the situation. Yeah.

111
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: And if you do, and not to mention, like, if

112
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: you rest these guys or you can't get to win,

113
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 1: then you're probably playing next week, Miles, So you really

114
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: want to rest next week? How about this one? So

115
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: Torn Armstead with the Dolphins, he sat out last week,

116
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:20,239
Speaker 1: misspracticed today. I've never seen this one before. The injury

117
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: toe peck knee hip. Tell me what doesn't hurt and

118
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: are fine. I don't know if you noticed that. I'm

119
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: not even sure whose backup is, but he went out

120
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: of the game. Back up, the backup was out too.

121
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: It's the guy who played for the uh the Titans.

122
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: He played yeah, um yeah, he played for the He

123
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: played for the Browns a couple of years too. He's

124
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: been around, He's bounced around, but he's a he's a

125
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: definite like six man kind of game exactly. But he

126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: didn't finish it yet and Greg Little ended up finishing

127
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: a left tackle. Yeah. Yeah, Dolphins have issue to peck,

128
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: knee and hip four injuries implies to me, probably won't

129
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: play against the jet What hurts straw on everything top

130
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: of my Head's okay? Yeah? Uh. Tony Pollard with the

132
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: win it, right, Yeah, they need They have a chance.

133
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: If they win and the Eagles lose, the Cowboys win

134
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: a division and have a shot to be the number

135
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: one seed the Arizona to beat. Could they ever turn

136
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: from five to six or they guaranteed the best wild card?

137
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: They must be yeah, because they're playing their head of

138
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: the Giants. Yeah, Yeah, uh, because John said that tie

139
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: to Christie wonder, if the Eagles and Cowboys play at

140
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: the same time, I should know that off top man.

141
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: I think they do. They made all those games of

142
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: four slot or four o'clock. Christian Watson, with the hip injury,

143

Speaker 1: was limited on Wednesday for the Packers. That's gigantic. Yeah.

144
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: I think he's He's been much better than I expected

145
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: him to be this year and has been better for Yeah,

146
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: he's turned into a route runner, you know, he's he's

147
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: a real weapon. Like I'm gonna take him pretty high

148
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: and fantasy next year. Justin Jackson, with a hip injury,

149

Speaker 1: was a full participant in Wednesday's practice for the Lions.

150
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: They may or may not need that, depending on Seattle. Yeah,

151
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: Swift was okay, and Williams is what he is. Juwan Johnson,

152
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: the tight end for the Saints, did not practice on Wednesday.

153
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: He's kind of an important piece for them, but they

154
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: have nothing to play for him. Taysom Hill was limited

155
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: with a back injury in Wednesday's practice. They used him

156
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 1: a lot later a last week. He's goal line back.

157
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean he had fourteen rushing attempts for forty six

158
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: yards in a touchdown last week. He's hard to play

159
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: and he threw a couple of passes. I kind of

160
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: get it, but he's terrible for fantasy reasons. I've heard

161
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: no signs of this, but why wouldn't you play Winston

162
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: this week? Balton is a free agent after the week.

163
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean, is he he dresses every Sunday? Yeah? Just

164
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: hate him? Maybe I don't think he's good. Yeah. Uh.

165
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Inquirers Jeff Jeff McLean reports that Jalen Hurts with

166
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: the shoulder injury practiced with the first team during Wednesday's

167
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: walk through to walk through, Yeah, it sounds like he's

168
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: gonna go though. Yeah, he's a tough guy and they

169
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: need him. And again, I'd rather got through it this

170
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: week so I can sit next week. Yeah. Tyler Lockett

171
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: now has a leg issue. He did not practice on Wednesday.

172
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: Already had the broken finger that he played through last

173
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: surgery two weeks ago. Yeah, he's kind of in that.

174
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 1: Toront Armstead this week, five different things wrong with them.

175
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: The Chiefs activated Micole Hardman to their fifties three man roster.

176
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 1: Does that have any ripple effect of the people above him?

177
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 1: I mean, juju play? Could I mean he was getting

178
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, they have a plan for him, Like

179
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,199
Speaker 1: does he make to Darius Tony? Maybe? I was thinking

180
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: sky Moore and Tony have both gotten a little bit

181
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: of an uptick. Is that about to go away? Probably?

182
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: I would think so. I think they. I would think

183
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: they trust Hardman. He's been with them. This is a

184
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: fifth year. I mean I thought the scantling kind of

185
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: what he is. Yeah, the receivers aren't very good. They

186
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: need a guy more to be a guy. He hasn't

187
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: shown that. Elijah Mitchell was designated return from my arm

188
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: up after this year. Again. Yeah, he signed a one

189
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 1: year deal. Was another one year deal. He'll get paid

190
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: reasonably well considered. It's a bad market. Uh, Elijah Mitchell

191
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: designated for return. Okay, I don't know if i'd rush

192
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: him back. Probably you're probably not gonna play him this week,

193
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: but they could use him. I mentioned I do that

194
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: podcast with a Niners guy and he's worried about McCaffrey.

195
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: He's like, he's wonderful, but he is taking a beating

196
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: right now. That's not what we got him to do.

197
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: You know, like, is he gonna be you know, like

198
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: he said something along the lines of like, yeah, it's

199
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: Christian gonna be there for the NFC Championship. We get there.

200
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's always the question with Christian McCaffrey and

201
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: in general as such, he had an ankle injury, did

202
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: not practice something. Um, they're running him into a wall

203
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: time and time again. Sa Kwam Barkley said that unless

204
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball tells him differently, he's playing this weekend.

205
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 1: They can't do it. Yeah, I wouldn't play any of

206
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: those guys. Why would you play Jones, Barkley? You know

207
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: Leonard Williams. I mean, they don't have a lot of stars,

208
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: but I would rest all those guys. He's He's the

209
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: one I would sit the most. He's the one. He's

210
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: their offense. He's the most important guy, more more of

211
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 1: a beating than Jones. And as we saw with Jacksonville

212
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: last week, that could mean he plays a quarter and

213
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: then they hide his helmet to I mean, like that

214
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: that could happen. You've got a phone call your wife

215
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: him birth. Wait, she's not pregnant. No, you're she's you

216
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: gotta go. Uh. DeAndre Hopkins, as you mentioned, has a

217
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: knee injury, will not practice against the forty Niners. He's

218
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,840
Speaker 1: there's some speculation he's one played his last game as

219
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: a Cardinal, missed the first six games of the year

220
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: on that with that p D suspension, hasn't been what

221
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: he used to be. No, No, he's a declining player

222
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: who's old and expensive. Send him to Green Bay for

223
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: third round pick. You know, I mean like they can't

224
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: look at no matter who the coaches next year, if

225
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: you're the Cardinals, you can't be like, we're just gonna

226
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: run it back with no guys, you know, like it's

227
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: time to clean house and gives me picks as you can.

228
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: They have needs everywhere. The Bears signed Equinamius st Brown

229
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: to a one year, one point five million dollar contract

230
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: extension today. They're just they'll they'll take any receiver they

231
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: can get. I am beginning to question their wide receiver evaluate.

232
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: Not that that's a big contract they I mean obviously,

233
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: but and they know who he is. It's a hard

234
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 1: in the hand. I get that. And one of the

235
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: things people don't realize when you have ungodly amount of

236
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: cap space, it's hard to use it all. Yeah, it's

237
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: hard to use it all. They're not gonna be there's

238
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: a floor as well, But it's not just it's not

239
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: just the ceiling, there's a floor. Colton McCoy will not

240
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 1: play in Week eighteen against the forty niners. As we mentioned,

241
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: David Blow will start, and again he's not horrible, but okay,

242
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: people like Coulton McCoy. I think he might be a

243
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: free agent at the end of so and he makes

244
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: four or five million probably if the if the Steelers

245
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: did move on from yeah their backup quarterbacks, would Colt

246
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,439
Speaker 1: McCoy be a good Yeah, I mean that type of dude.

247
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: Maybe I could come up with a better name than that,

248
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: but that's not a bad one. But again, they're gonna

249
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna have the pay that guy for or five

250
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: million dollars to be the backup to Picket And you're saying,

251
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: Roodolph signs somewhere, someone gives you a pick for Trabisky

252
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: that's too good to pass up. You pay Colt McCoy

253
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: two thirds of the Trabinsky contract to be Kenny's mentor. Yeah,

254
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: that's the type I would be after. If Trabinsky and

255
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: Rudolf or elsewhere is someone. I'm not super interested in

256
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: doing that though, because you're wisky than all those guys. Absolutely,

257
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: because sixty six quarterbacks got starts this year, right, That's

258
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: what I would keep reminding myself. Sixty six quarterbacks started

259
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: games this year. If it's if I'm only saving three

260
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: million in cap space, if it's a third round pick,

261
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: that's different, it's different. But if it's just to get

262
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: out of here for a six or something, no, no, no,

263
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: he's too good for that, and that would be a

264
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: steel for another team too. Yeah. Uh, brown goes. Interim

265
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: head coach Jerry Rossberg said offensive coordinator Justin Well call

266
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: plays on offense, and week eighteen against the Chargers, that

267
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: suggests that he didn't call plays last week. Hackett called plays. Yeah, well,

268
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: so who did last week? Maybe they let Russ Cook

269
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: last week. Okay, that's a messy situation. Yeah, um yeah.

270
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Kendall Hinton, with a chest and foot injury, did not

271
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: practice on Wednesday for them. Uh. As we mentioned, Sam

272
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: Howe is going to start the right move and week

273
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: eighteen against the cow eliminated. Yeah, you know last week

274
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't the right move. But give him one game

275
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. Good luck here you go. Who need

276
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: to win the game. Absolutely, But I thought the same

277
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: thing about Stidham last week too. I mean, I'm not

278
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna light it up, and Stidham at least

279
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: is played games before now, but you do want to

280
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: see one game of how he's gonna be there next year, right,

281
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: I mean with he won't be the starter, but I

282
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna be in the building. Um I rapp

283
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: report reporting that the Vikings right tackle Brian O'Neill suffered

284
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: a partially torn achilles in week seventeen on a card

285
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: went off in a card. He was placed on I

286
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: R and won't be back for the playoffs. That's a blow.

287
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: Derrissa has been in and out of the line. He's

288
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: a good right tackle. He's one of the best. I

289
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: would say he's fifth eight best right tackle in the league.

290
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: Moves really well, tight end to pit, typical athlete type.

291
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: Their guards are a little rough too. They're in trouble.

292
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: They're in trouble. They're in trouble. They have not run

293
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: the ball well. I think Dalvin Cookes starting to slip

294
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: a little bit too. Not that every team can do this,

295
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: but green Bay has sold out to take Jefferson away,

296
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: and part of that is on the coaching staff. Are

297
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: letting it happen to you. Gotta scheme them up and

298
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: all that, But there to be that reliant even on

299
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: a great player, a tremendous player, on a wide receiver,

300
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: you can take. You can take receivers away, right. I mean,

301
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying Derrick Henry is better than Jefferson, isn't

302
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: It's hard to take Derrick Henry away when you're that

303
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: relying on one. Dude. You know you saw get him

304
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: on the ground thirty times, right, he might break one,

305
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: somebody misses the tackle. He's your body still hurts. Where

306
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: Jefferson you put three guys on him or you know

307
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: they're really reliant. Uh. Antonio Gibson, with a knee and ankle,

308
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: did not practice on Wednesday. Um Brian Robinson again could

309
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: be the he's not about DFS call. Yeah, I mean,

310
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: how is gonna be handed to him? That's for sure. Yeah,

311
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: we've mentioned Nathan Peterman will start in Week eighteen against

312
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Vikings are probably gonna win that game this week. Peterman,

313
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: let's make a note on Vikings defense. Yeah, in twelve

314
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: career games, he's thrown three touchdowns with thirteen interceptions with

315
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: a completion percentage of fifty two point five. He has

316
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: a start of the game since like twenties eighteen. Don't

317
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: quote me on this, but this is just a hunch.

318
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: I bet he has more pick six is than I

319
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: believe he might a lot, a lot, lot a lot

320
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: like threes, not that I bet he has more. They Yeah,

321
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: that's not a good stat to have. No, so we're

322
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 1: kind of talking fantasy. No bears are usable, not a

323
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: single one, like i'd much to start Texans or I mean,

324
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: I guess you could use Montgomery if you were in

325
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: a pinch. He's gonna get carries. Yeah. Maybe they even

326
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: shut him down in his hand at the Herbert time

327
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: and time again. They can do that too. Maybe Herbert's

328
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: the guy. Yeah right, maybe they say, hey, justin you,

329
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 1: let's see what you do. Is the feature? I mean

330
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: they know what he does the feature back, but he's

331
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: gonna probably the feature back next year. Yeah, I don't know.

332
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: If they score ten points, UM's exactly what they want.

333
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: It is, in fact, Yeah, it is in fact a

334
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: dislocated finger for Teddy Bridgewater. And the problem with that

335
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: again broken as opposed it broken, Um, it becomes it's

336
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: more than just a pain tolerance thing. Yeah, yeah, you

337
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: mentioned this the other day, because you can't put a shot,

338
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: you can't shoot it up to make it go numb

339
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: because it's on his throwing hand. Yeah. Yeah, you don't

340
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: want a numb throwing hand, folks, Right, the pinky is

341
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: you use it, it's important, it's important. You might rather

342
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: the middle finger. And not just not just for throwing

343
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: the football, but think about every time he takes a

344
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: snap from center. Yeah, yeah, they're jamming it up in there.

345
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: Think about every time he has a handoff. Does he

346
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: have to hand off now with his left hand, left handed,

347
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: because yeah, every time the running back takes the ball

348
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 1: from him, he's banging on that hand again. And let

349
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: alone if he hits it on the helmet or or yeah,

350
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: you get him on the bottom of a pile and

351
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: you kind of give it a little bit business. Yeah,

352
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: let's see. If this hurts Teddy, it's gonna hurt. There's

353
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: nothing you can do about it. Yeah, and it doesn't

354
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: sound like much, but that's a lot of times. I mean,

355
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: that's the last point that touches the ball too. There's

356
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: some touch to it, and you know, and when you

357
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: dislocated it swells up for obvious reasons. Can they drain it?

358
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: I mean, if you don't know about that, make it

359
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: as comfortable as possible. But they're still I don't know

360
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: that you can splin it because again, that's the finger

361
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: that you hold that's going to be the final thing

362
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: that touches the ball when it's splinted. And now he

363
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: wears gloves already, right, I also think he has more hands. Yeah,

364
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, so splinting it. I tried doing that when

365
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: I just so, I've broken the tip on on my

366
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,919
Speaker 1: right pinky went at one point and they gave me

367
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: like a little thing that went over the tip of

368
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: it to hold it in place. And then I also

369
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: dislocated it at a different time where it was pointing

370
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: every sideways. It wasn't good umball particularly well. No, I

371
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: had to take a couple of weeks off from I

372
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: did those playing basketball. I had to take a couple

373
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: of weeks off. Like you can't. I tried shooting a

374
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: basketball like that, and like every time you yeah, every

375
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: time you flick your you know, you flick the ball.

376
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: It's it's awful. You have no feel, yeah, because the

377
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: finger hurts that games in New York, right, No, it's

378
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: in Miami. I was thinking the weather weather, there could

379
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: still be weather. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I think you

380
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: know again, he's not going to get any practice in

381
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: all week. Maybe you want him to play, I mean

382
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: he can't be If he does play, he's not gonna

383
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: be good. He isn't good this past week. They're in trouble.

384
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: They're in trouble. They're in trouble. They're in trouble. We

385
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: need the Bills to win too. Yeah. Uh. The Cowboys

386
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: waved James Washington that I got a couple of questions

387
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 1: the STS pick him up. I said, I don't want

388
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: his contract, but if he passes waivers to get through waivers,

389
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, I mean I'm I'm not picking up the contract.

390
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 1: I would have no problem bringing James Washington. It doesn't

391
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: even guarantee he makes a team next year, right, but

392
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: you know him, he knows your offense. You know he's

393
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: a good dude, say the high character guy, the worker. Right?

394
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 1: Did he live up to his draft lab? Is he

395
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: going to be tremendous? Oh? He is what he is.

396
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: I mean, I think people forget he led the team

397
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: in receiving yards into when you know, I never thought

398
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: he was a bad player. No, I never did either.

399
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 1: He just you know, other guys were better. I don't

400
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: know why he hasn't quite worked out in Dallas, but well,

401
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: you had a foot injury in the spring, like he

402
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: never was with and then he had another foot injury

403
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: in training camp and different training camp. Yeah, so he

404
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: hurt the first hurt the one foot, then hurt the

405
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: other foot, and by the time he came back that

406
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: it's too late, and they were coumting on Tolbert, who's

407
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: been a total bust for them. I mean, he's done zero.

408
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: Interesting he was the other receiver, by the way, it

409
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 1: George across from George Pickens in high school. Yeah, how

410
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: about that some of those high school stories like that

411
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: or yeah, and then there are other the receiver there

412
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: was a year ahead of those guys. I believe it

413
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: was the number one receiver at Auburn. This year they'll

414
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: be drafted or something. Obviously that's crazy. Uh, let's see here,

415
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: keep looking through this year mentioned Heineke. I don't know

416
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: what the Jets Dolphins spread is, but it should be

417
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: Jets minus four. I think that. I think the Dolphins

418
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: are favored by one. Their defense is respectable. I would

419
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: take the Jets. I would take the Jets as well.

420
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm sure the Bills is not on available. Yeah, it's

421
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: not there. It's not yet. Jared Stidham give him credit,

422
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: played well, but dealing with the right elbow issues, he

423
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: was limited. Yeah, you get two games to kind of

424
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: showcase your yourself and you got soreness or you know,

425
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: I assume he'll play. Yeah, Josh Jacobs dealing with a

426
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: hip and oblique was limited as well. You know, like

427
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: does he really want to play and he's a free

428
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: agent to be what do you gain by that? And

429
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: he was a mere white who Well give him a game.

430
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: Well he's hurt. Oh he's out to Yeah, he's been

431
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: out for he was out against the Steelers. Um, I

432
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: think that was a season ending thing. I'm sure Jacobs

433
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: wants to play. First of all, they're playing Kansas City. Um,

434
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: you know, so he's a raider. They want to beat

435
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City. And but he also could lead to league

436
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: in rushing, which he probably he probably has some stuff

437
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 1: in his contract that if you leave the league in

438
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: rushing you and you don't want to surrender that. And

439
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: he's got about a hundred forty yard lead on josh

440
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: On Shubb and Derrick Henry's right behind. They could yeah,

441
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: I mean Henry could go off at any point for

442
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: two hundred yards and then all of a sudden, you know, yeah,

443
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: he cost you a million dollars. Yeah, it's nice to say, hey, rush,

444
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: yeah and you show again. So he's gonna be a

445
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: free agent. You want to show teams that you're durable, like, hey,

446
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: look I just handled three in in fifty touches last

447
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: year hand earlier. I played through all this stuff and

448
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: I still average five yards of carry. He said, get paid. Well,

449
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Raiders should franchise, and unless they cashing out,

450
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: they could. They could try to day, we're gonna start

451
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: over McDaniels that he's in that you know New England

452
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: mindset that you just plug any running back in. But

453
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 1: there's also talk, oh they'll bring Brady and running back

454
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,199
Speaker 1: like that. That sounds like that's awful. Go ahead and

455
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: do that. If the Raiders do that, they are dumber

456
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: than I think they are, unless they're so desperate to

457
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: get a new fan base going and sell Brady jerseys.

458
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: But it won't go well. It'll be Joe Namath with

459
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: the Rams. I mean, it'll be would be worse than that, right,

460
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: it'll be an all time grade in a bad situation. Yeah,

461
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: I agree. I think I would just be a disaster

462
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: if I'm Brady. I don't know why I want to

463
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: go there. So I don't know if the Raiders are

464
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: smart enough. But I bet Brady smart enough to say,

465
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: why would I want to do that? The only way

466
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady ends up a Raider is if nobody else

467
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: wants him and he has to be and he he

468
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: makes up his mind that he has to play. I mean,

469
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: he played really well this past week and actually did

470
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks stuff. He won a game like the A game

471
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: and this week doesn't matter. What if he wins a

472
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: playoff game, is he gonna be like, I'm cool? Why

473
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 1: would I not? They're not winning a playoff game. They're

474
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 1: gonna play Dallas or Philadelphia in the fresh run of

475
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: the play They're not beating either one of those teams.

476
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: They might get beat by thirty. I agree. I agree.

477
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: I hope he doesn't come back for his legacies purpose.

478
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: You can't see it going well. Something tells me he

479
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: might die. I think he's going to write you know

480
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,479
Speaker 1: that the divorce is final he's just hanging around. When

481
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: am I to hang around the house? I mean, knowing

482
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: the Colts, they might be like, well we just get Brady. Yeah. Well,

483
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean I think if if if you're Brady, you'd

484
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: look at the co to go, I might rather go

485
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: there than go to the Raiders. Better chance to win division. Absolutely,

486
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: yeah they were. The protection wasn't so great this year? No,

487
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: neither one of them. Yeah, a great situation. Did you
