4
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: that was Daniel Jones just got torture is his fault.

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: That was torture. That was like watching somebody put on

6
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: the on the rack and tortured.

7
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 2: Yes, poor guy. I mean he is tough. Say we

8
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 2: want about him, I don't think think about it all.

9
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 1: But he took ten sacks.

10
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: I didn't even see it.

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: I didn't see how many carries he had in the game.

12
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 2: Quite a few, quite a few us eighteen times, maybe

13
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 2: more than that times, something like that, right, I mean

14
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,239
Speaker 2: he got We can talk about the knockdowns. Yeah, I'm

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 2: sure you got knocked down, I mean quarterback hits. In

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: addition to I'm not even sure if Seattle's good and

17
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 2: we're gonna do power ranks coming up here. I know

18
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 2: the Giants are bad. I mean, and they don't have

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 2: any blockers. I mean they lost their left guard during

20
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: the game, and you know Thomas didn't play, and they're

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: in trouble.

22
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,400

Speaker 1: at some of the pickups for this week, and then

25
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: we'll take a look at these streaming defenses. All right, Uh,

26
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: I'm looking here at NFL dot COM's list of guys here,

27
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: so they're they're listing these guys.

28
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: And I'm sure some leagues so people be like, black

29
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: guys will no champion in my league. But we're gonna

30
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 2: cover that.

31
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: These are guys who are rostered in less than sixty

32
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,919
Speaker 1: percent of NFL dot Com leagues.

33
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, but there's gonna be some pretty.

34
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: There'll be there'll be some chalky stuff.

35
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh. C J.

36
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: Stroud rostered in nine percent of leagues. He should be

37
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: in leagues he.

38
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: Should be in leagues like my league, my number one

39
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: league that hadn't been forever, is very deep. You know,

40
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: we probably have one roster spot too many and we

41
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: don't have a kicker. And he just got picked up

42
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: last week. Okay, so he was availat that crazy Yeah.

43
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Rookie quarterbacks are yes, yeah, often, you know, unless

44
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: you're in a dynasty league or a two quarterback league, no.

45
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: Than those guys are all drafted and long gone. Yeah.

46
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Uh, Sam Howe rostered in five percent of leagues.

47
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: He's better for fantasy than he is.

48
00:01:58,640 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: In real life.

49
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: In real life, I mean, I don't know how long

50
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: he's gonna last, as long as he doesn't play the Bills.

51
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: They play Chicago this week, Yeah, on Thursday nights in

52
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: their place.

53
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that.

54
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll get to that when we get

55
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: to the streaming defense.

56
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's a great streamer this week. Oh yeah,

57
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 2: they have weapons. He's gutsy as can be and he

58
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: runs a lot.

59
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: Josh dobb is rostered inero point three percent of leagues.

60
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: Are you there yet? No, I'm not either. He's playing well,

61
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: he's obviously smart, his weapons don't stink.

62
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: They are designing some runs for him, and yeah, he'll

63
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: take off and he's he can do those kinds of things.

64
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: He was an overrated runner, yeah, but he's not.

65
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: Everybody just assumes he's a Oh he's a dynamic, Yeah

66
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: he's not. He's he's above average, he's.

67
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 2: Well above average, but he's not. He's above average. Yeah,

68
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 2: I mean he's kind of straight line ish too. He

69
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: ran a good forty, but that doesn't mean he's a

70
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: great runner, of course, big leagues and superflex. Of course

71
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: he's in leagues that doesn't even matter. But you have

72
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 2: to be pretty desperate for me to grabby.

73
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: He has a hundred forty four rushing yards in a

74
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: touchdown the last three games.

75
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 2: Wow, that's what we're basically getting about.

76
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: Fifty yards a game, give or take. Not huge.

77
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: I mean his fantacy numbers are good. Then I'm still

78
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: not there yet.

79
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson has rostered in point nine percent of the leagues.

80
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going there. That's ridiculous.

81
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: No, I mean everyone's league is different. If that's the

82
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: only guys you got with a bye, okay, but no,

83
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: I mean he turned the corner last.

84
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: Week, did he?

85
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: Even if he did, yeah, he's still starting him on

86
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: Sunday morning.

87
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: You can't. He can't hit that button. No, no, no, not

88
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: by this week, by the way. We're look, we'll get

89
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: to that. We get to that.

90
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they need to figure that stuff out.

91
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: Myself running back, there's no Devin a Chan this week.

92
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: No.

93
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: Uh. Julia McLaughlin is rostered in point two percent of

94
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: the leagues, and he might ask who's Jillian McLachlin. He

95
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: plays for Denver. Gavontae Williams is banged up right now,

96
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: that's a little that's a little pop there to him.

97
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 2: He should be in every league now. Yeah, not a

98
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: week ago, but now he should. I don't know if

99
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: he's startable.

100
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: But yeah, I wouldn't do that far.

101
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if you know who Cecil Lamy is.

102
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 2: He kind of does what we do with Denver for

103
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: football guys. And he's been talking about this guy all

104
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: week or all year, saying he might be their best back.

105
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: You know, Williams isn't one hundred percent back. This dude's

106
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: got juice and he kind of showed it when he

107
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: got the chance.

108
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: So one hundred and four scrimmage yards on ten touches

109
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: last week.

110
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: So I mean he'll get at least fifty.

111
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: They'll get him. They'll make sure they get him ten

112
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: more touches after he thrilled.

113
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 2: With p Ryan either.

114
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: No.

115
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: I mean he's useful, yeah, and he backer gets the balls.

116
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: Useful, but it's hard to again hit the I might

117
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: pick him up and sit him this weekend and wait

118
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: and see if he You.

119
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: Might only get two weeks of him until Williams is back,

120
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 2: you know.

121
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: Or they may just say we're gonna sit Williams down

122
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: and let him.

123
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: He hasn't looked great. No, no, And.

124
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: Even when Williams comes back, maybe they just incorporate this

125
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: guy into it. But he's great for Peyton's been a

126
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: two running back type guy in the past.

127
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 2: True true, Yeah, and he can catch the ball too.

128
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say it's Kamara.

129
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. Chuba Hubbard rushed in ten percent of.

130
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: The league's perfect backup or handcuff type. Their offense is bad, though,

131
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 2: it's bad. Sanders is he's been fighting some stuff. Yeah,

132
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, if he's out there.

133
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's a bye week. Maybe I would feel

134
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: better starting him in a by If if I'm in

135
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 1: a by situation, then I would. Julium McLaughlin, I wouldn't

136
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: this week. Well, it depends on what I need.

137
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 2: I mean, Truba plays no matter what.

138
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: If I let's say I got somebody going in the

139
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: Thursday night game and he goes out and gets me.

140
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: Like last week his situation where you know you just swift,

141
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: that was well, same same thing. So I got Swift

142
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: going in the Thursday night game, he goes crazy, puts

143
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: up thirty five to forty points, then maybe I play

144
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: Chube Hubbard is a safe play. He's gonna get me ten.

145
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: I know he's gonna get me ten.

146
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if I.

147
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 1: If they if if my guy goes out and gets

148
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: four points in the Thursday night game, you want to

149
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: run and I need to hit a home run to

150
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: have a chance to win my game, then I start McLaughlin.

151
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, everyone kind of a different

152
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: theory on handcuffs, but he's a true handcuff. The Sanders

153
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: and if that's something you believe in, he's worth more

154
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: to you than others.

155
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Sanders is still dealing with a groin injury. Yeah, and

156
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: he's he's one of those backs too that always has something.

157
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 2: Oh, he always says something.

158
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

159
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: It's becoming clear to me too that Bryce Young is

160
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: very content dumping at the backs. Yeah, he did the

161
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs a ton in Bama. That's who he is

162
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 2: and it helps him, you know, not take his many

163
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 2: hits as a smaller guy too.

164
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is AARs rushero point three percent of leagues.

165
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm not I don't think they like him. I mean,

166
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't play number three on the on the depth

167
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: charge right, clear clear number three.

168
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: He's like break glass in case of emergency. I mentioned

169
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 2: were talking.

170
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: About killing the Browns and knew the Browns weren't going

171
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,119
Speaker 1: to score.

172
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: Like he's not dynamic at all anymore. Hill looks like

173
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: he's getting his feet back under him. So I think

174
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: he's third and might not be active.

175
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: I agree. Wide receiver Adam Thielen still only owned in

176
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: twenty four percent of the well.

177
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: I think he's even a wide receiver three now. I

178
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: think he's pretty so reflex or. Yeah, someone's got to

179
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: catch the ball there. And I stole this from somebody,

180
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: but losing target shares to Justin Jefferson maybe shouldn't be

181
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 2: to get into. And then they go get Hawkinson. They

182
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: use the time like maybe it.

183
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: Was because they knew they were going to pay you.

184
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah right right, got a youth movement there too, and

185
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 2: you know they're going to draft a guy, you know.

186
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: So he's still a good football player.

187
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: Uh. Michael Wilson with the Cardinals is only owned zo

188
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: point one percent of leagues. I think he'll be a

189
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: hot pick up this week.

190
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: I think he will too. We'd alone talk about him

191
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 2: on our our Dynasty show. You know he's he He

192
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 2: was like a third or fourth round dynasty pick. I

193
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 2: loved him then I drafted him a lot. Now he's

194
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: worth like a second round pick.

195
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 1: Yea.

196
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: Like he's a good player for re draft.

197
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: I liked him in the draft. I didn't like where

198
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: he landed.

199
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: No, no, But now it's actually kind of a benefit

200
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: because he's a lot different than more and Brown.

201
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the big guy, yeah, I mean.

202
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: And they like him, and Dobbs is throwing to him.

203
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: You have to be pretty bad at receiver though to

204
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 2: start him.

205
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's the thing. I mean, if you start

206
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: him this week, you're basically chasing the points.

207
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: I mean, he's a good player, he's a good prospect.

208
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: The Cardinals found a guy. I don't think he's Puka.

209
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, somehow Romeo Dobbs is still on the

210
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: owned in twenty four percent league, which is crazy. Maybe

211
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: some people cut him when Christian Watson was coming back.

212
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: I know he did have the one game. He started

213
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: the season fine, but there was some you know, their

214
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 1: passing game is spotty.

215
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm the bad guy to ask about him because I'm

216
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 2: one you hulprits. I'm really rough with him. I think

217
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: he's very monotone and it doesn't matter he produces, you know,

218
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 2: like I'm willing to say I've been wrong about him.

219
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 2: You know, I like Watson much better. I like Read

220
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: much better. Like they said, you know, you're drafting the

221
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: team or who would runt the Steelers to get He'd

222
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: be low on my lips. But that's all fantasy's about

223
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: out there. And he's reliable in his quarterback trust, so

224
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 2: he's in big target. Rogers trusted him too. Yeah, he's

225
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 2: where he's supposed to be and he catches the football.

226
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: Uh. These guys are I know, these guys are on

227
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: by this week somehow. Quintin Johnston has rostered in forty

228
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: seven percent of the leagues. Josh Palmer's at zero point five.

229
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 2: The people are wrong on that.

230
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: People are way wrong on that, which.

231
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 2: I understood on Fantasy draft Day. Yeah, you take the

232
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: first round pick, okay, but he's the four who's now

233
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 2: bumped up to the three. He's just not He's kind

234
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: of like a Roger Jones situation. Yeah, they're bringing him

235
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: along slowly. He's not ready yet.

236
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh yeah, Palmer's easily the guy to own there, easily.

237
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:46,479
Speaker 2: They drafted Quentin Johnson super high because Allen and Williams

238
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: are unbelievably big cap.

239
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: It's like sixty million dollars next.

240
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: Year, right, and keep kind of drafting him for next year.

241
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: One deal.

242
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: Robinson owned in point one percent of leagues and hopefully

243
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: you listen to us yesterday and you started one Dell

244
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: Robinson and then you're if you did a a What

245
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: did he end up doing? I think he had five catches.

246
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: It was only for like thirty eight yards.

247
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: But I was writing an article during that game, and

248
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: it was not a real watchable game or competitive game,

249
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: so I didn't pay as much attention to something.

250
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: He was their only receiver that I mean, they didn't if.

251
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 2: He can't protect, he's perfect.

252
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the ball's coming out quick.

253
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: He's a typical slot. I really liked him come out

254
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: of school.

255
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, Curtis Samuel had a season high eight targets and

256
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: seven catches in that loss to the Eagles.

257
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 2: You could do worse.

258
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: They play Thursday night. Yeah, I think Doatson's banged up,

259
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: like Samuel might.

260
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: Start then he plays a lot anyway. Yeah, I mean

261
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: he's a little hit or miss. I mean he could

262
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: get you one point for sure. But he could be

263
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: a league winner, you know, like i'd consider him for

264
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: DFS as well. You know, like I'm sure he's cheap.

265
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, Are you picking up Tyler Boyd to start this week?

266
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: I just don't think their their passing game might be

267
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: a little broken right now.

268
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 2: I think it's a little broken and they're really few,

269
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: you know, feed and chase, which I understand, And I

270
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 2: just don't know what the quarterback can get anybody the

271
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: ball consistently enough to And he's a declining player too.

272
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: I mean I root for him and all that, but

273
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 2: Pitt guy, but I don't think he's particularly great.

274
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,599
Speaker 1: At tight end. Jake Ferguson rostered in ninety percent of

275
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: the leagues. We talked about him last week. He should

276
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: be owned.

277
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 2: I say, I'm buying yeah, yeah, it means in a

278
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: good situation. Are you buying Dalton s a good player

279
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 2: either and they put up numbers there?

280
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: Are you buying Cole Komant? He's rostered in fifty nine

281
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: percent of leagues? He's like, he's like tight end number

282
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: three right now in terms of scoring, all based off

283
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: of one game, which kind of shows you where the positions.

284
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 2: As a position such a nightmare. He should be in

285
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 2: every league. Yeah, I mean, I don't know when you

286
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 2: use him. I don't know when you use him? Yeah,

287
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 2: I mean, would he be top twelve in your team?

288
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: At least he's at least had better games than Kyle Pitts.

289
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: Right, Like, if you're a Pit's owner, Kyle Pitts can't

290
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 2: you can't speak. I don't think you can put them out.

291
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: You can't put Hi out there anymore.

292
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 2: I guess i'd put Comet over him.

293
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: Because the next guy on the list is Johnny Smith.

294
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: He's on in point two percent of leagues.

295
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: He was one of my favorite young tight.

296
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: Ends killing his production compared to Pitts. It's not even

297
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: close close.

298
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 2: He had a really good game this past week. He's

299
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 2: a good player. I've even heard rumblings that they might

300
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: consider trading Pits. I might as well. I mean, at

301
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: this point, why wouldn't you? I mean Smith, John who

302
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 2: was with Coach Smith in the Titans, right, and they

303
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 2: went like him, and he's been good for him. I

304
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: don't know if he's Fantasy relevant John who yet.

305
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: In this era of Titans play, he sees a field

306
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: a lot.

307
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Pits isn't out there as much as you think either.

308
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 2: And they don't throw the ball to him, but when

309
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 2: they do they throw it over his head too.

310
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 1: Well, there's that. Looking at this week's defensive matchups for streamers.

311
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 2: Do we know the Buys off is at the bottom there?

312
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: I know the Chargers are one of them. Okay, Brown's, Chargers, Seahawks, Buccaneers.

313
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: There's a lot there. Yeah, so Browns, Chargers, Bucks, Seahawks. Yeah, okay, so.

314
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: There's gonna be some teams looking for some dudes this week. Yeah,

315
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: or potentially a streaming defense.

316
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

317
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: Washington is hosting the Bears in that Thursday night game.

318
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 2: Definitely the Commanders.

319
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh, the Commanders are a slim dunkster.

320
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:24,320
Speaker 2: Not the Bears.

321
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: I'll take sacks.

322
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 2: I'll take sacks. I think they'll they'll score more than

323
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 2: twenty points, if not more. Is that in Washington?

324
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: They're a team that is content. Yeah, it's in Washington.

325
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 2: You don't mind certain defense against Washington, that's for sure.

326
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: I mean, Brian Robinson might carry the ball twenty five

327
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: times in this game, which will keep things, keep the

328
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: score from getting too crazy.

329
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: In a game you think Washington's gonna win, you want

330
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: Brian Robinson. Yeah, it's not. You don't. I think they're

331
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 2: gonna win. I mean, I know it's all we're talking about.

332
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: I couldn't start the Bears D though, really against anybody.

333
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: I don't think even the Giants.

334
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: Another another game in London this week. The Jaguars stayed over.

335
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 2: There, right, I think that's a big benefit to them.

336
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're playing the Bills. The Bills are the home

337
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: team in this game, but they just played I'm.

338
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: Curious about that. The Jags lose two home games for

339
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: that or one and one.

340
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: Just one good? So the Bills just this could be

341
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: a classic letdown game.

342
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: Oh and it wouldn't even hurt him that bad.

343
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they just they just played the Dolphins and

344
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: smacked them around. Now they're going to go across the

345
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: pond and play the Jaguars, who've been sitting over there

346
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: waiting for them.

347
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 2: But you can't start the jagson But you can't start

348
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: the Jags D.

349
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: But can you be careful about starting the Bills D?

350
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 2: Though I would not pay up in dfs for the buildings.

351
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: I think this is a.

352
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: I kind of Thinkvius White is out now, A boy

353
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: are going to be ready to play after city he

354
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: sat out last week. Is if is a flight across

355
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: the ocean going to do him a lot of good to.

356
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: Get And if you have the bills d you're starting them.

357
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: You're not dropping them or anything like that. But I

358
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 2: could see this being a SOSO game for them. Yeah,

359
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: the Jags finally did some things offensively. Lawrence is playing great.

360
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: It's just they drop, They make a lot of drops.

361
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: They don't protect particularly well. You know, some things have

362
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 2: been not going their way.

363
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: The two and two Texans are at the two and

364
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: two Falcons. Interested in starting either one of those defenses

365
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: low on the list? Yeah, I think so too. I

366
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: think that game, well, it could be a run, run, run,

367
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: run run.

368
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: You know, there's really well coached on that side the ball,

369
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: and they don't make a lot of mistakes and things,

370
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 2: but they're not dynamic enough if.

371
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: They're going to play all that cover two against against

372
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: Atlanta and Atlanta is just going to keep running bij

373
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: On down their throat.

374
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: I don't see a ton of points in that game.

375
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: That's why I said they're middle of the road. I

376
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: also don't see how many sacks do they have between

377
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: those two teams? Like six?

378
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got the Panthers at the Lions.

379
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 2: The Lions are Lions, and yeah, that's gonna be hind

380
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: the list. Panthers are No, fire them up.

381
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: You got the two and two Titans at the two

382
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: and two Colts. You're interested in starting either one of

383
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: those defenses? Hmmm, I don't think so.

384
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: No, I don't think so.

385
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't see it. No. You got the three

386
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: and one Dolphins hosting the one and three Giants. The

387
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: Dolphins are a slam.

388
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 2: Dunk, even though their defense isn't playing as well as

389
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: I expect.

390
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: No, I mean, even the game they scored twenty points

391
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: or seventy points, they give up twenty like, that's hard

392
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: to do. Everybody again, Giants, Now, they were ninety points

393
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: in that game.

394
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 2: A key to me is whether Jaln Phillips plays or not.

395
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 2: He's been out a couple of weeks. Yeah, I'm just

396
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: saying that all the sacks we saw that he may.

397
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: Come off his deathbed to play this.

398
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm playing.

399
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: I got what I got. One leg I'm gonna go

400
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: have it amputated here, the other one amputated after the game.

401
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: But I'll play.

402
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, sign me up for that one.

403
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: Uh. The Saints are at the Patriots.

404
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: Saints Ray, Yes, it's a good defense against a questionable offense,

405
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: to be kind.

406
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: And I don't want to play the Patriots right now

407
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: without Judaan, without Gonzales at cornerback. Yeah, like that might

408
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: be two of their top three or four defensive players.

409
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: What car did this past week was borderline embarrassing though too.

410
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: That's true, but he said now, I mean I would

411
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: assume that give him the weekends. Hey, you're not throwing

412
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: the football at all against I would imagine.

413
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: I mean all you need to know is he targeted

414
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: Kamara fourteen times, completed thirteen of them for like thirty

415
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: two yards. Yeah, I mean that was their offense. Yeah.

416
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: Ravens are at the Steelers, both both defenses. Yeah, that

417
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: could be a typical Raven Steelers defensive struggle.

418
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know if the Steelers will have

419
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 2: six sacks against team that runs a lot. I'd rather

420
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: start to I think you start everybody against Steelers right now. Yeah,

421
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 2: proven otherwise. Yeah.

422
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: The Bengals are at the Cardinals. Are you streaming the

423
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: Cardinals defense this week against that Bengals? Is this the ultimate?

424
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 2: Wow? I mean that's like the poster boy, if you

425
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: believe in streams.

426
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: But it's a it's a conversation. The Bengals are lasting

427
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL and offense.

428
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: Are you firing up the Bengals? No? No, No, I

429
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 2: mean the Cardinals are like the sixth best offense in

430
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:51,639
Speaker 2: the league.

431
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: They're really tough to play against right now.

432
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you just play the Cardinals d ahead of them,

433
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 2: I think I would, Wow, maybe we're there.

434
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: I mean, no, Higgins right, they can't pass block to

435
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: protect Burrow Burrows getting the ball quickly. I mean Chase

436
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: would have to break seven tackles to get you know,

437
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: where's the where's the offense coming from?

438
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we have to look at both

439
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 2: those teams in that light. I don't see a lot

440
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: of points in that game. Period. No, I don't either,

441
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 2: I guess, but I don't know that either is in

442
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: my top twelve.

443
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: You got the Eagles at the Rams.

444
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 2: Yes on the Eagles, but Williams are playing well.

445
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: The Eagles defense has not been no what it was

446
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 1: last year.

447
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 2: And mostly it's a back seven. Yeah, you know, they're

448
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: they've had a lot of problems with every I mean,

449
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: Cooper Kup could play in that game, it's they're not

450
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 2: high on my list, but I think you play.

451
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: Them cross country trip involved in that as well.

452
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: Rams could win that game the Jets, like I have

453
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 2: Stafford in my league. I'm not afraid of that.

454
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: How about this? How about this stinker of a game?

455
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: The Jets are at the Broncos.

456
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 2: You never the Broncos needs the worse in the league.

457
00:18:58,600 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 2: I don't think you can play them eve against the

458
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: yet Jets. I'm playing Jets. Dey's yeah, okay, yeah, they

459
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 2: played really well against Kansas City. Moncos will give up

460
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: some sacks and yeah, you would think you want to

461
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: play your D against the Jets. I don't know that

462
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: I can with them.

463
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, that's that's tough. Really, Although it's

464
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 1: in Denver.

465
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta go. That's and it's not like I'm

466
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: afraid of Zach Wilson all of a sudden, but I

467
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: think afraid of the Denver D.

468
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: The Chiefs are at the Vikings. Chiefs defense has been good.

469
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 1: Are you starting to Vikings?

470
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: No? Definitely not the Vikes D.

471
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

472
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: Oh, the Chiefs offense isn't what he used to be.

473
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: No, it's not scary afraid to admit that, but it's not.

474
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 2: It's not but no.

475
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: On the Chiefs D two of the top defenses in

476
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: the league, Cowboys at the forty nine Ers. Can you

477
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: start either one of them this week?

478
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 2: I think you probably have to.

479
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: You're not I'm starting a forty nine Ers defense. Yeah,

480
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: Dak will turn it over.

481
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think both teams will take sacks. I don't

482
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: think it's a great day for either one of them, though. No,

483
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 2: you know, if you own them, you're not. Are you're

484
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 2: dropping them for the Cardinals D No? No, some crappy

485
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: running back or receiver for a streamer. Yeah, I don't

486
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: know if that's better than I think. You just live

487
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 2: with them and hope you get something good.

488
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: And then the final game on Monday Night is the

489
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: Packers at the Raiders. Packers are yes, I guess you

490
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: start the Packers here.

491
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, if Jimmy's back or not.

492
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: He starts the Raiders defense. I don't, depends on what

493
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: Max Crosby's Uh, well, that's the situation is because I

494
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: think there is really bad. I think Jordan Love questionable.

495
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: He is he is a roller coaster ride in the

496
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 1: same game, like he'll look awful, can't complete a pass.

497
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: It's just so up and down with him. There's no consistency.

498
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 2: That's how I was explaining it too, because even in

499
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 2: college he was very streaky. Yeah, I mean like not

500
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: month to month, like two drives in a row, quarter

501
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 2: to quarter, and he's showing that again.

502
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: I mean, so they you know, that could be a

503
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: low scoring game.

504
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't like the Raiders.

505
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 1: Well, Devonte Adam's revenge game too, how about that?

506
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 2: You know, So I'm sure he'll do fine, But Packers

507
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 2: d I'm fine with.

508
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: I think the Raiders are interesting if I'm really reaching

509
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 1: here for something.

510
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: For me, and Crosby has to play to make that

511
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 2: even considerable.

512
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's one of the set. Ye like, yeah,

513
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: Crosby has to play.

514
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's really good.

515
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's the that's the week there, that's not

516
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 1: the Cardinals thing still is my brain.

517
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that or not.

518
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: Well again, it depends. I mean, did you have the

519
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: Browns and they're off this.

520
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: Week, then you got to pick somebody up. Yeah, that's

521
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 2: going to be the caveat.

522
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: I mean I would look at the points against you know,

523
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,959
Speaker 1: Cincinnati's what what they're what they've given up or what

524
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: they haven't done in those first four weeks. And like

525
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: I guarantee you, everybody that they've played has had their

526
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: best week thus far against the Bengals offense.

527
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 2: No doubt. And again this goes back to the Steelers opponent.

528
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 2: You get the Browns with Al Watson and you get

529
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: that version of Burrow, your numbers are going to be better.

530
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 1: Than you will miss Cue.

531
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, and that's gonna help the Cardinals probably. I

532
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: don't think it'll be this week, but one week Burrow

533
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 2: is gonna look like Burrow and you're gonna be like,

534
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 2: what was I thinking it's not gonna be?

535
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: Is gonna be this week? He's still he is still

536
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: very compromised.

537
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah.

538
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: Anyways, that's the fantasy football focus. We're gonna get to

539
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: a break. He is Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lellye.

540
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: Whill we come back. It's time for the power rankings.

541
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: We'll do that right after this. Ali. He is Matt Williamson.

542
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 1: This is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio, and Matt

543
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: time here to look at Eric at Holmes Power rankings

544
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com and we'll go through these pretty quickly.

545
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: Tokay at thirty two holding steady. Are the Chicago Bears

546
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 1: at thirty two there.

547
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 2: Last for me? Still?

548
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, they're bad. Thirty one down a spot the

549
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers.

550
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 2: Which the Bears love. They got both those picks.

551
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can have the top two picks in the draft.

552
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 2: Raft could be really cool at the top. They're really unique.

553
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 1: At thirty down a spot the Giants.

554
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: Being kind, it really is. They're bad.

555
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: At twenty nine, down two spots the Raiders.

556
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 2: I think this is where they're going to settle in.

557
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: I think they're a bad teams.

558
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: Start to finish at twenty eight up three spots. I

559
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,239
Speaker 1: can't move them up this far. Like the Raiders are

560
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: better than the Broncos right now. The Broncos are twenty eight.

561
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: The Panthers might be better than Broncos.

562
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Broncos are bad.

563
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 2: Defense is horrific.

564
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, they overcame a twenty one point deficit,

565
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: but they built a twenty one point deficit against the

566
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears.

567
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: And that's the Bears they beat, who's clearly thirty two.

568
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, at twenty seven down two spots to Cardinals, that's

569
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: rough on.

570
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 2: That they're playing better than that for the year. I

571
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: understand that if you start them at thirty two, it's

572
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: hard to move them far from there. But they're played

573
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 2: better than that.

574
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: At twenty six up two spots, despite losing last week Bolt.

575
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: I don't think they're a crap ass team. There's a

576
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: lot of bad teams in the league right now. I

577
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: don't think they're one of them. I don't think they're great.

578
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: A twenty five up a spot the Vikings. We thought

579
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: they were too long in the Vikings last year.

580
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think the Vikes can beat teams.

581
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if the Vikings should be ahead of

582
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: or below the Steelers and Patriots right now.

583
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: Well, the Patriots are right ahead of them. At twenty

584
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 1: four down six spots.

585
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: They're low. I mean, they're not playing well and I

586
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: don't know how they're going to dig out of it.

587
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 1: At twenty three down seven spots, the Steelers.

588
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 2: I think that's proper. I would have them ahead of

589
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: the Patriots. Steelers were as Vikings to me as a conversation.

590
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: Let's see who's ahead of them here at twenty two

591
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: holding steady Washington. Are the Steelers really worse than Washington

592
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: right now?

593
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: Right now, I think they are.

594
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. I mean, Washington just got

595
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: this is recency bias because Washington just got destroyed two

596
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: weeks ago against Buffalo. But then they hung in there

597
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 1: in the division game against the Eagles, so they know.

598
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,119
Speaker 2: That's what I was going to say. But from the

599
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,959
Speaker 2: opposite light, I was going to say, three of their

600
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: four games have been highly respectable. One was brutal to

601
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 2: the team that's either going to be one or two

602
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: on this list. Yeah, I get you know what I mean.

603
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 1: Twenty one down four spots the Falcons.

604
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 2: I think that's who they are. Yeah, they have not

605
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: the last two weeks haven't gone well for them.

606
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: At twenty down nine spots the Bengals. I mean, the

607
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: Bengals should be lower than the Steelers based on how

608
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: they're playing right now.

609
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: Not have them right in the neighborhood.

610
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they should be in the same goals.

611
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 2: Steelers, Patriots. I don't know how I power rank. It's

612
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 2: they're all struggling bad. Yeah, yeah, I got the Vikes

613
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: over all of them.

614
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: Here we are again at nineteen holding steady the Jets.

615
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: I know I can't go there yet.

616
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 2: The thing is, though, how you got to put them

617
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 2: all somewhere.

618
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,399
Speaker 1: I understand that, but they should. The problem was they

619
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: were too high to begin with.

620
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and then.

621
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 1: After the Rogers Bengals, the Rogers injury, they never never

622
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: dropped them down to where they should have dropped down to.

623
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: It's exactly like the Bengal y one of them has

624
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 2: their quarterback, it's just one third of who he is. Yeah,

625
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: but like, are the Colts better than those teams? Like,

626
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: if you're just power ranking the AFC, are the Colts

627
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 2: and Texans ahead of the Jets, Steelers?

628
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: They've played better football to this bangles, Yeah they have.

629
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

630
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: At eighteen down four spots the Saints.

631
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 2: Really bad game, really bad game, but their season hasn't

632
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: been terrible.

633
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 1: At seventeen up seven spots, the Rams.

634
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: I think the Rams are at and I think that's

635
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: a compliment being seventeen for them. They're better than the

636
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 2: bad teams right now.

637
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 1: This one. I have a so At sixteen up five

638
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: spots the Titans. Oh, that's right, they're a bad football

639
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: that's rich. That's a bad football team.

640
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 2: I don't know. They're better than the Vikings, who we

641
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: talked about twenty minutes.

642
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: No, yeah, uh At fifteen up eight spots the Texans.

643
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: I'm cool with that. I bet that's a highest they

644
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: go all year. I really do. And I'm not taking

645
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: anything away from their win. It was very impressive. I

646
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 2: just don't think they're very talented and can be a

647
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 2: top half of the league team.

648
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: At fourteen, down four Green Bay, Green.

649
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 2: Bay versus Saints Verse Vikings. I keep bringing the Vikings.

650
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: NFC Falcons fight same yeah.

651
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: At thirteen, up two spots, the Chargers.

652
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: I guess. I mean, I think they have a lot

653
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 2: of problems, but I'm not sure you've named a team

654
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 2: that put over them. There's a lot of teams, a

655
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: lot of questions right now.

656
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: At twelve up one spot the Jaguars.

657
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 2: Okay, they're still disappointing.

658
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: At eleven only down two spots the Cleveland Browns.

659
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: That's a ranking as if you have Watson, which I

660
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: probably would rank them the same way or through the

661
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: same lens right now that that's a one off in

662
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: terms of your quarterback being out. It's a terrible game

663
00:27:59,560 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: by them.

664
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: Terrible game.

665
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. Fortunately for them, they have a buy right now,

666
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 2: so I watch it. Come's back.

667
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: The big mover this week at ten, up ten spots

668
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: in spots, Tampa Bay.

669
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 2: Oh no, I mean they're they're having a nice year.

670
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: They have a nice start to the season.

671
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 2: And have them probably first in that awful division.

672
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: But they're more like fifteen or sixty.

673
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think they beat the Browns in eleven

674
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 2: game series, or.

675
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: The Chargers for the Jaguars.

676
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: Even the Packers. I mean, okay, they're sixteen or so.

677
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. At nine up three spots, Seattle.

678
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're a good team. They're an above average team.

679
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: At eight holding Steady Baltimore.

680
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm glad they don't. They're not.

681
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: They just can't. That's the ceiling them getting any higher.

682
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: World Like, I could see somebody putting them in the

683
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: top tier and I'm not there with them.

684
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: No. At seven holding Steady Detroit, that's.

685
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 2: Good, that's where they belong. Yeah, I would have them

686
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: over in every team you've talked about so far.

687
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: At six down five spots, because last week they had

688
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: been crowned at the new darlings of the of the NFL,

689
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins.

690
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 2: That's fair. Would you the Lions over the Dolphins? They would?

691
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: Yet, I'm not there yet, Yeah, not there yet.

692
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: But well, Dolphins, that's a respectable loss, but they got

693
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 2: to be pretty.

694
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: Bad and it wasn't super respectable.

695
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, right.

696
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: At five up a spot Dallas.

697
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have them at five. I know the

698
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: four teams coming and they would below all of them,

699
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 2: but they'd be above everybody else.

700
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: At four unbeaten Philadelphia.

701
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're not elite. Hurts hasn't been great either.

702
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: At three up two spots is Buffalo.

703
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 2: Who ought to be higher on them? Buffalod be over

704
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: Kansas City for me.

705
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kansas City is not.

706
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 2: They're a little bit on reputation. Yeah. No, they weren't

707
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 2: impressive on Monday night at all. No, they won and

708
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 2: good for them.

709
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they move up to one spot to two based

710
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: on the twenty three twenty victory. Kansas City or Dallas,

711
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City I trust the quarterback.

712
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 2: More Kansas City or Miami.

713
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: I'll still go Kansas City, yeah, because I don't trust

714
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: Miami at all.

715
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: But they would not be over the bills.

716
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: Not over the bills.

717
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: No, not over the bills. We're in the same spot

718
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 2: with them.

719
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: And then San Francisco moves back into number one, which

720
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: is what I said they should have been, should have

721
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: been last week.

722
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 2: I might have Buffalo one. I'd probably go Niners, but

723
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 2: they would be one. Verse two to me is not

724
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: a slam dunk.

725
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: See, this is what This is the kind of thing

726
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: though that happens, and this is a college football thing.

727
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 2: Of course.

728
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: These polls are Oh, they had a really impressive victory

729
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: this week, so let's move them up. Or that team

730
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: lost by this many points and we're gonna move them

731
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: way down. Like it again. The NFL is a week

732
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: to week league.

733
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 2: Oh sure, I mean, we do power ranks every week

734
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 2: and they're fun. But they don't mean to think.

735
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: I don't mean, of course, of course.

736
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 2: Standings are all the matter, getting the playoffs and win

737
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: you know, but no, it's it's just a good way

738
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 2: to talk about teams and judge.

739
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it gives you an idea of who's

740
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: playing well right now and all that stuff.

741
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 2: And what's different about that the versus NCAAA is the

742
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 2: the thirty second team can win?

743
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,959
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, well Candon Bears win. I don't know, Southeast.

744
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: Missouri State Mining can't win. You know.

745
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: Over ay, they're not going to beat Georgia. No, that's

746
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: not going to happen, right, But yeah, in this situation,

747
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: so you know that that's Eric ed Holmes Power rankings

748
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: for coming out of a week four and heading into

749
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: week five, and those will obviously continue to evolve and

750
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: change and all that stuff. Can the Steelers fall any lower?

751
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 2: What number were they? Again?

752
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: Were they twenty three?

753
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: They could lose this week and still go backwards. I

754
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: don't know.

755
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: So behind them are New England if they lose New England, Minnesota, Indianapolis, Arizona, Denvers.

756
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:08,680
Speaker 2: Not only who they're playing this week, I don't care.

757
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if the Steelers lose, who are the

758
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: teams behind them that could go over them? Patriots? But

759
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: there's some teams ahead of them that are bad.

760
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: There's some bad teams ahead of them that are going

761
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: to probably go somefer some bad losses this week. That's

762
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: a I have to check into this, and maybe it'll

763
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: be in the stat package that the NFL sets out today.

764
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: I think that comes out typically. Yeah, more blowout losses

765
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: this year than I can ever remember, that way, Yeah,

766
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: and some of it's so. For example, last week's game

767
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: against the Texans for the Steelers, it's sixteen to six.

768
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: The Texans go on a long, sustained drive and they score,

769
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: the fullback or the halfback option pass they score. Yeah,

770
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: that makes it twenty three to seven or twenty three

771
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: to six. Most of the time in the NFL, teams

772
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: will kind of shut it down at that point and

773
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: just kind of run out the clock. And Houston is

774
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: still throwing the football at that point because they're trying

775
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: to develop a culture.

776
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 2: See, I was thinking when you said there's more blowouts

777
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 2: than ever, it went back to that Sando piece about

778
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: quarterbacks being younger than ever. Yeah, because I think that

779
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: just lends itself to more volatility, good or bad. Yeah,

780
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 2: Like I got to develop my quarterback even when I'm winning,

781
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 2: or my quarterback's really young and he's killing me, you know,

782
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So I just think more

783
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: volatility could lead to more blowouts. You know, Roethlisberger versus

784
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 2: Rivers probably won't be a blowout.

785
00:33:25,640 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna run the ball and get out of

786
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: there with your win and be happy about it.

787
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 2: With a ten point handle to Jerone. You know what

788
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: I mean.

789
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: Right, don't give the ball back to those guys because

790
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: bad things could happen.

791
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 2: I'm still trying to digest that the quarterbacks this year

792
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: are younger than they've ever been in the history of

793
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 2: the league base or since the Super Bowl era. And

794
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 2: what effect that's having.

795
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well it leads to a lot of again.

796
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a lot of volatility.

797
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:51,240
Speaker 1: There's seemingly a lot of quarterbacks. You're riding that roller coaster.

798
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: We talked about the Jordan Love You're riding that roller

799
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: coaster from week to week.

800
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean even one of the old guys is

801
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 2: like Gino Smith, and he's not exactly it's true, you

802
00:33:59,240 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: know what I mean.

803
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,239
Speaker 1: Right, Anyways, we're gonna get to another break. He is

00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: You're listening to the drive here on Steelers Nation Radio

814
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: and Matt just going around the league here, it looks

815
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: like Matthew Judon is going to be out for at

816
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: least two months for the New England Patriots.

817
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 2: That seems generous too. Yeah, that's tough, and yeah, that's brutal.

818
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: That is a tough one.

819
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 2: Yeah.

820
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: The Ravens have signed a cornerback to their practice squad.

821
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 2: Okay, again, teams tell you.

822
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: I know they had some corner I had another cornerback

823
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: injury during the game. Trying to think, I'm not sure

824
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: twenty one one of the safeties got hurt from them.

825
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 2: I thought, I'm not sure, to be honest.

826
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, we'll find out more about that week goes on.

827
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, okay, so maybe they're light a corner.

828
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. Typically when teams starts signing guys to their practice

829
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: squad like that during during it's because they need enough

830
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: corners or enough players at that position to practice.

831
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:26,240
Speaker 2: So I know that. I know the Steelers signed Denzel

832
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 2: Mims today. I don't think they're lighted receiver though, are they.

833
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 2: I think that's an interesting signing. I mean, he's probably

834
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 2: going to be nothing, but I liked them coming out

835
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: of school three years ago.

836
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: And yeah, I might just be hey, let's just take

837
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:38,959
Speaker 1: a shot.

838
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking that, Yes, because I don't think

839
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: they have receiver issues. Uh.

840
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,360
Speaker 1: The Chicago Bears, Uh, they have their estimated practice for today.

841
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: Tevin Jenkins was a full participant in Tuesday's estimated practice,

842
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: so he's on track. He just came back and just

843
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: activated him off the pup list, so they could definitely

844
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: use him.

845
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: Oh, they could definitely use him.

846
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: However, Eddie Jackson and Jalen Johnson did not participate. That's

847
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's again, that's two of their.

848
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: More competent defensive players.

849
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: Might be the two best defensive backs.

850
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 2: The best defensive backs. Yeah, I mean they're they're hurting

851
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 2: for star power quality starters on defense, period.

852
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: And they signed Deron Harmon to their active roster from

853
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: Brett from Baltimore's practice.

854
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 2: Bet Jackson is not gonna play.

855
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jackson's not gonna play. At least Harmon has played.

856
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah with the Patriots.

857
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 1: Uh with uh with the Judon injury, I mean, where's

858
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: the pass rush coming from?

859
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: They so many guys, but he's definitely their one. You know,

860
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: they have guys like cha who are very undersized, but

861
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 2: their speed balls off the edge. They blitz a lot.

862
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 2: Gonzalez would worry me too. That's what his situation.

863
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: It looks like he's he's definitely out this week.

864
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: Okay. All their Joneses, I think are hurt.

865
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, which is a lot.

866
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 2: It's like the Brady bunch of Joneses. Their defense is okay,

867
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: it's not built on star power. Yeah, but he's their

868
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 2: closest thing to a star.

869
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's tough.

870
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:11,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely tough.

871
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, Denzel Mims signed to the Steelers practice

872
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: squad again, I just think that's a taking a shot

873
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: of the guy, which I think.

874
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: Is worth it. I mean, he said, a typical Baylor

875
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: only runs like two routes, put up Mickey Mouse cards

876
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 2: and weird offense. But he's tall, he's size, he's athletic,

877
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 2: He's got like a forty two inch vertical. He's a

878
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:35,360
Speaker 2: second round pick, tore up a Senior Bowl. Kind of

879
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: was intrigued, kind of a Christian Watson body type.

880
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it just hasn't done anything in previous stops.

881
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 2: But we'll see. I would like to see him a

882
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 2: camp every day.

883
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: The estimated practice report for Washington, which hosts that game.

884
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,760
Speaker 1: Running Back Chris Rodriguez was limited in today's practice estimation.

885
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: Johan Dotson with the ankle injury, limited, Curtis Samuel, who

886
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: he mentioned in the in the fantasy segment, he was limited.

887
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: He has a quad issue, so maybe you don't pick

888
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: him up on the back end of their defense. Cornerback

889
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: Christian Holmes was limited. Cornerback Benjamin Saint just with a

890
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 1: neck was a full participant, and our man jar Tavius

891
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: Martin with the thumb injury as a full participant. So

892
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: get a little more healthy.

893
00:38:22,760 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 2: They might wouldn't big that in that game.

894
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 1: They very well might. Yeah, it's not not looking good there.

895
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 2: That's pretty much it.

896
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: Not a lot of news around the league today.

897
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 2: We're not getting I think it's Wednesday. I would say

898
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 2: is Odell and mix or Bateman or they have so.

899
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: Many don't know yet, Yeah, I don't know yet more.

900
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 2: But it sounds like Pickett will probably give it a

901
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 2: shot tomorrow. He'll do something tomorrow.

902
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: That's going to be the thing to watch, how much

903
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 1: he's able to do. And Mike Tomlin was asked about

904
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: how do you balance perhaps getting Mitch Trubisky ready to

905
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: play with getting picket perhaps.

906
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 2: Ready to do that is probably hard to do.

907
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: And he said, well, they're gonna have a meeting Wednesday

908
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,839
Speaker 1: morning to talk about that and see where probably see

909
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: where pickets at. How's it, how's you know? How's it

910
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: feel today?

911
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 2: Your doctors will have a better idea of we'll get

912
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 2: that ready. He'll be we can get him ready for

913
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 2: game day or but what's weird about his injury is

914
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:24,439
Speaker 2: he can practice with it. I would imagine. I'm sure

915
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 2: it hurts for me to say he's not going to

916
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 2: get hit. I mean, hits are going to be with

917
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 2: father's a bone bruise and we're.

918
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: Trying to avoid stuff, and you know, you start running

919
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: around back there, that's when it's you know, you start

920
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: it's the pounding of the you know, if it's a

921
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: bone bruise.

922
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 2: And you want Trubisky to play a lot in practice

923
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 2: this week at least, I don't know that'll be interesting.

924
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 2: I mean, we have to watch every snap in practice

925
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 2: to see how they allocate it. But that's not that's

926
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 2: a fine line.

927
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: It's going to be something that people will be tracking, probably.

928
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: Not you, probably not, but he might be your two.

929
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: He might be her too. He probably gets some snaps

930
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,799
Speaker 1: on Friday. You'll have a much better idea of what

931
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: the situation is by Friday.

932
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,399
Speaker 2: But I don't want Rudolph to eat into either one

933
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 2: of those guys snaps. But he could be an injury

934
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 2: away from being the guy getting stabbed. Yeah, so usually

935
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: you think this is at.

936
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: Least in that's in that sense you're not playing a

937
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,520
Speaker 1: non an opponent you're not familiar.

938
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 2: With, and that's a beauty of having like a Rudolph

939
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,720
Speaker 2: as a three too. Yeah, it's not like a Wola

940
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 2: Con that's never played or somebody like that.

941
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: That's something you're throwing the rookie in there, like the

942
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:27,680
Speaker 1: Browns did this week.

943
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 2: So here you have that, here's your first NFL season,

944
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 2: But go beat you know, the Bengals or the raven

945
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 2: or the Steelers.

946
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: Yeah right, all right, So I don't know, it's it's

947
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: gonna be an interesting There's always little things like this

948
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:42,920
Speaker 1: that happen over the course of an NFL season that

949
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: make it all interesting. Like people ask me, don't think,

950
00:40:45,600 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: don't you get tired of doing the same thing over

951
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: and over again? Cover No, it's never the same.

952
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:55,680
Speaker 2: And frankly, I mean, Tomlin Harbaugh. Something every day happens

953
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 2: to those guys, you know what I mean, like something

954
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 2: and we don't even hear about half of them, probably

955
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 2: that they've had to deal with or for you know, decades.

956
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 2: It's crazy. I've done this before, well the way I

957
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 2: do it.

958
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's uh, that's why you have those guys again,

959
00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:12,799
Speaker 1: you know, Pete Carroll going through It's just it's never

960
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 1: a shock when the when the good coaches end up

961
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: winning games. No, you either put Drew Locke in the

962
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 1: game last night. Yeah, you know, I still found the

963
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: way to get through it, and they were fine against

964
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: Brian day Ball, who's the reigning NFL Coach of the Year.

965
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 2: I don't think he wins it this year.

966
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: Amazing how stupid he got over the one course of one.

967
00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 2: Year the Giants played the Bears. Right now, who wins.

968
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: I don't think the Giants are even thirty one in

969
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 2: our power in the power ranks where they were not

970
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 2: they were thirty or twenty nine. Yeah, they're as bad.

971
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Carolina was thirty one.

972
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 2: Caroline is better than those teams. They're not great, but

973
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 2: they don't get sacked eleven times and there could have

974
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 2: been more.

975
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: They couldn't get a playoffs.

976
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,720
Speaker 2: They couldn't block anybody couldn't get a playoff, couldn't.

977
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's when you really know it's it's bad,

978
00:41:55,320 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: because when you can't function at home at home. That

979
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: wasn't even in Seattle, that was at home, and like.

980
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 2: What play do you call? There's not anybody. You can't

981
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 2: run screens and draws all day.

982
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,839
Speaker 1: Well you could, but they're not going to go.

983
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 2: Anywhere, right, quarterback draws and stuff like that. Uck.

984
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't know that Thursday nights game is going to

985
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: be any easier to watch.

986
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,799
Speaker 2: No, I think Washington's a real team though they are.

987
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 1: I'm not on the they're a real boring team.

988
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 2: They are. I would imagine Fields runs a lot. Yeah,

989
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 2: maybe maybe he's building.

990
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 1: On He didn't run at all last week.

991
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 2: He didn't I know he threw well, oh, I don't know.

992
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 2: I'm concerned about him. I don't think that was the

993
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 2: beginning of something great all of a sudden.

994
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 1: Matt, I'm concerned about your fantasy team. You are, your

995
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 1: your your defensive coordinator just sinks. You have given up

996
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 1: by far, the most fantasy points in our league.

997
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 2: Didn't two weeks ago, my coordinator set a record right

998
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 2: for points of Yeah, my decordinator needs we gonna have.

999
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: To talk to you guys. You gotta start running the

1000
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 1: football a little better.

1001
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 2: Eat some.

1002
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: Problem.

1003
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 2: Too many unforced airs by the team Williamson. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1004
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: we were letting up a lot of points.

1005
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see if that gets better. But uh,

1006
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: Steelers Ravens Sunday.

1007
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 2: It seems a team like that too. I have like

1008
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 2: the best roster of my dynasty league and I have

1009
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 2: one win. I have like Josh Allen, and I may

1010
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: have a great team and we're just getting playing the

1011
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 2: wrong team every week. Yeah.

1012
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: Well that's all part of it, and it's part of

1013
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL too. You get a team. You know,

1014
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 1: when you get a team is just as important as

1015
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,439
Speaker 1: where related. Yeah this week, Yeah, we'll see how many

1016
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: guys they get back. They've they've been missing quite a

1017
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: few of the last few weeks.

1018
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 2: It's hit as hard as injuries just about any team

1019
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: the league.

1020
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you think it back, I did say, like

1021
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 1: a jabo was placed on I r for them, so

1022
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 1: he is not coming.

1023
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 2: It was a job. He just missed his whole rookie year. Too.

1024
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't. I can't stay on the football feel

1025
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 1: at this point, and.

1026
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 2: So that's big for them though.

1027
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I if the Steelers give up a

1028
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: lot of single one on one pass rush or past

1029
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 1: pressure this week, then it's time to start getting being

1030
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 1: alarmed about the offensive line here. If it comes on

1031
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: some you know, you can't allow this team that doesn't

1032
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 1: have any big time pass rushes.

1033
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, without question. And yeah, I mean if your if

1034
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 2: your communication is a problem, A problem with that, if

1035
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 2: you're losing one on one matchups, and my problem with that.

1036
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 2: Guys like Matta Bouquet are better than you think, but

1037
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 2: they're not in a pass rushing right.

1038
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: So hey, we're gonna that's gonna do it for today's show.
