1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,240
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen.

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 2: You want experience during your football season, will buckle up,

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 2: sweet cheeks. We've got all the experience in the world.

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: This is I want your flex with Dan Bayer and

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 2: Mike Harmon. Mike and Dan break down everything you need

6
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 2: to set your lineups, from position rankings.

7
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 3: To starts and sits. The guys help you make those

8
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 3: hard decisions.

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: And now let's catch your flexod Here's Dan Bayer and

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: Mike Harmon.

11
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was good, but it was

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: exciting and it was fut a way to wrap up

13
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: an interesting Week fourteen of the NFL and fantasy football season.

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: He is Mike Harmon. Hit him up at Swallen Doll.

15
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: You can find me on Exit Dan Byer on Fox.

16
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: Ian Roddy is our executive producer. Find him at Ian

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: Roddy Underscore Guys. Chargers in Eagles wrap up Week fourteen

18
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: with an overtime thriller, although there wasn't much thrill throughout

19
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: the game. Couple of big plays here in there and

20
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: then just turnovers galore, but in the end a broken

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: hand at all justin Herbert and the Chargers get a victory,

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: but maybe not leading fantasy teams to victory for what

23
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: was a really weird night in fantasy football.

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, it might have been one of the strangest games ever.

25
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 4: And then add to that, they had the Monsters Inc.

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: Second broadcast, which I found my eyes drifting to. So

27
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 4: I'm watching, Hey there's Sully instead of Justin Herbert. Oh

28
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 4: it works out. Now he's running amuck as he finished

29
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 4: as the Chargers leading rusher with sixty six yards. But

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 4: you know, field goal kicking contests, some of the crazy

31
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 4: stats that we talk about. Cameron Dicker, the insane duel

32
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 4: turnover play for Jalen Hurts. Over the course of the night,

33
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 4: he finishes with five turnovers. I mean just coming into

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 4: the game, he'd had two interceptions through the first thirteen

35
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 4: weeks of the season. Sakwan Barkley runs wild into the

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 4: secondary and on the final possession does he see the ball?

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: No?

38
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 4: So just a curious game outside of the kickers. And

39
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 4: I guess the defense is because of all the turnovers.

40
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: Yeah Barkley. Aj Brown finished with one hundred receiving yards

41
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 4: and then Justin Herbert because of the sixty six rushing

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 4: yards might have gotten you a little bit of love,

43
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 4: but just one thirty nine one in one and if

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 4: you get dinged for the sacks, he actually still absorbed

45
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 4: seven sacks despite his heroics.

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: But yeah, just a very odd game.

47
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: If you started Omari and Hampton, you were probably satisfied

48
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: with the point total. But in the end they really

49
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: just leaned on Vidal, and I think that was probably

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: because Hampton and the shape that he was probably in

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: and still getting into game shape, and also just came

52
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: situation that didn't use him as much at the end

53
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: but had the touchdown early. But it's interesting on the

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: Charger side of things, because now do you have a

55
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: split backfield, I think captains you know, well, I shouldn't say.

56
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: I think we all know he's the future and the

57
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: top talent, but I don't think that with that offensive line,

58
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you want Justin Herbert being your leading rusher, Mike.

59
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: And so when you know, when we're looking at this backfield, now,

60
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: Vidal isn't gonna go away now that Omar and Hampton

61
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: is back.

62
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was fearing for Justin Herbert's life every time

63
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: he ran. Now you had some overpursuit by the defensive front.

64
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 4: So he found the little gateway to slip out the

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 4: back door and find his way. There are a couple

66
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 4: of times as he got towards the sideline like he's

67
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: about to get blown up, and you had players pull up, like,

68
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: thank god, the last thing he needs to absorb a

69
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 4: couple more hits. But I think you're right. I think

70
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 4: between Videl or Vidal and Hampton, I think we're going

71
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: to get an equitable split here because behind that line

72
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 4: a lot of you know, yards before contact is a

73
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 4: very negligible number. So you know, trying to keep him fresh,

74
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 4: keep him right, because you're at nine and four, you're

75
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 4: sitting in the middle of the playoff hunt, still trying

76
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: to figure out how to you know, unleash a little

77
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 4: more in your receiving corps.

78
00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: Tough.

79
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 4: Philadelphia defense has been strong at points, but you know,

80
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: Herbert and that passing attack a little bit disjointed. But

81
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: if you can get the run game going, perhaps you

82
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: can on cork a little bit of that. So yeah,

83
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 4: I would suspect a split going forward, which gives us

84
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 4: into our RB two flex categories for those guys.

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 1: In week sixteen, maybe it'll be looking for brighter days

86
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: with a trip to Dallas to face the Cowboys. But

87
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: next week they have the Chiefs, and then in week seventeen,

88
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: Championship weekend, they got a home game against the Texans. Yeah,

89
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: so yeah, so that'll be interesting defensive matchup. So if

90
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: you're the Chargers and looking for daylight, there could be

91
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: an opportunity in a couple of weeks. But I think

92
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: these two out of the next three with the Chiefs

93
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: and Texans could be similar to what we saw on

94
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: Monday night between these squads.

95
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 4: But no, Dan that Houston game, they're actually doing a

96
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: Justin Herbert giveaway a bibblehead, which is only appropriate because

97
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: he's going to get shake, rattle and rolled by that

98
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,679
Speaker 4: defensive front.

99
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: I have my cousin is coming into town. My cousin,

100
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: so it's my second cousin, but he's in a sophomore

101
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: year at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point and he's

102
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: on winter break, and so he's gonna come out and

103
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: it's a flex schedule game and we should find out. Heck,

104
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: by the time this years, we may find out. If

105
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: that's a Saturday game. I think it very likely will be.

106
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: But if the game is on Saturday, I'm going to

107
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: take my cousin to the Texans Chargers game in that day. Yes,

108
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: it'll be my first NFL game at so far, I

109
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: have not been. I went for the National Championship between

110
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: TCU and Georgia and that was over by halftime, so

111
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: we was out of there in the third quarter. So

112
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: the first full NFL game will be hopefully coming up

113
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks, so that'll be fun. Yeah,

114
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: looking for a game too that's gonna be weighing heavily

115
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: on the AFC playoff picture. And if we're talking about

116
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: the Texans, we might as well talk about what happened

117
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: in Kansas City on Sunday night because it was the

118
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: same sort of deal. Maybe not even as sloppy as

119
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: it was between the Eagles and Chargers, but still you're

120
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: trying to find value in a couple of top tier

121
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: teams and it's just very difficult right now if you're

122
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 1: talking about the Texans or the Chiefs.

123
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, you got your fourteen points and a half ppr

124
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: out of Nicocollins, so a little bit of love there,

125
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 4: but otherwise a Gumbawale gets the rushing touchdown, that's not

126
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 4: helping anybody. Stroud with two oh three and one completing

127
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: fifty percent of his passes. Woody Marks did have that score,

128
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 4: so okay, we get we get to our thirteen points there.

129
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 4: But you know, Patrick Mahomes has three interceptions. For those

130
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 4: that didn't watch the game, they're like, oh, he was terrible,

131
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 4: Like none of them.

132
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 3: Were his fault.

133
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: Sure, he called tip.

134
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: Drills and problems.

135
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 4: One drifting towards the sideline, good play by the defender. Okay,

136
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: so we'll knock him for that one. But he gets

137
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 4: the fifty nine rushing yards, so I guess that got

138
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: him back to basics on the interceptions. But just one

139
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty yards on his fourteen of thirty three.

140
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 4: I had him as a cold source, so I take

141
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 4: the victory. But you know, watching that game, it was

142
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 4: very tense, kind of like the Monday Night game, except

143
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 4: we didn't even get the super toe kickers out there

144
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 4: to grind this thing out, Fellas. I mean, it was

145
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: just a couple of big plays, but starting and stops

146
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 4: throughout the night to leading to a whole lot of

147
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 4: fantasy disappointment.

148
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I keep on looking for the opportunity. With CJ.

149
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: Stroud now back in the fold and returning from from

150
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: his injuries and the wide receiving core that they have

151
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: with the Texans, like it's really there for Nico Collins

152
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: to be the guy. Yeah, exactly, and Week sixteen Raiders,

153
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, yes, opportunity presents itself. So for the next

154
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: two weeks, you know, maybe not sour as much on

155
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: the Texans considering what's ahead. But Sunday night didn't leave

156
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: it too much to love from the Houston squad.

157
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Rashie Rise just four for thirty four Kelsey with

158
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 4: a singer catch the tip drill on a ball that

159
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 4: he's caught ninety nine out of one hundred times his

160
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 4: entire life.

161
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: Just a difficult night.

162
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 4: If you played any of the pass catchers now going

163
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 4: up against Houston, this is one of those where we

164
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 4: would have advised, you know, really scoured the roster, look

165
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 4: at your waiver claims, all of those kind of things

166
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 4: to maybe find better because I wasn't expecting I mean,

167
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 4: we weren't expecting fireworks. I think I speak for all

168
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 4: three of us when we talk about what was forty

169
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 4: one or forty one and a half over under for

170
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 4: this game and it played out just an absolute grind

171
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 4: ten nothing at halftime, and it was funny listening to

172
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 4: the to the broadcast trying to find any sign of

173
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 4: life and sliver of hope for the Chiefs, like I

174
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 4: think I got a nine minute Chris Jones infomercial at

175
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 4: one point. But it was just kind of crazy trying

176
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: to find anything. It's like, no, no, no, you don't have

177
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 4: to sell it. They're playing terribly, like we can with

178
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 4: our eyes, Patrick Muller. They pull one out, but I

179
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 4: haven't seen it.

180
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: We knew their offensive line was shorthanded and they some weeks.

181
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to follow Ian's advice on the streaming defenses.

182
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: Let's see who we can pick up this past week.

183
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: I didn't. I just rolled with the Texans, and I'm

184
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: probably gonna roll with the Texans most of the time anyway.

185
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: But if there are certain situations where I'm like, Okay,

186
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily sure about this, you know, let's see

187
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: that maybe there's a better option out there. The week

188
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: before against the Colts, I ended up playing the Dolphins

189
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: defense and it was a better play. But it's crazy

190
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: to think that for a game in Kansas City that

191
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: the opposing team's defense would be a good option. And

192
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: that's what it was for the Houston Texans, and I

193
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: think that says something about the Chiefs, by the way.

194
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: Not to gloss over it, but Mike mentioned it earlier.

195
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: I was in my longtime league. I was up against

196
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: a team that had the Chargers defense. Never has happened

197
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: before to me in a fantasy game. I know we've

198
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: I've seen this in the NFL, but to have the

199
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: two turnovers on one play like my opponents. My buddy

200
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: got the interception and the fumble recovery on the two

201
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: changes of possession, I swear that was a sign from

202
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: up above that it wasn't going to be my night.

203
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 1: It ended up being my night where I was able

204
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,920
Speaker 1: to hold on and get a victory. But I'm just

205
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: like you know, I've seen this play before, but I've

206
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: never had it directly affect me, and it did on

207
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: Monday night. So another fantasy oddity pops up.

208
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was one if in my original days and

209
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 4: work in the scenes at Yahoo, I would have been

210
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 4: scripting what the FAQ is going to be FSR or yeah,

211
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 4: it would have been foot Hurts. Just send that one

212
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 4: out on anything Jalen Hurts related for scoring, because yes,

213
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 4: there were two turnovers on the same plan.

214
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: It's there's we would have so many arguments in our

215
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: league on how to detayl So if a team say

216
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: runs uh a fake you know, a fake field goal

217
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: or you know, or something like that, or you know,

218
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: and just determining on what is special teams, what is

219
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: an actual play? What is offense and defense? There's there's

220
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: a couple of situations where teams are like, okay, is

221
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: that a return? You know, interceptions on conversions aren't interceptions,

222
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, they shouldn't be counted. People like,

223
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: but they're interceptions if you can run it back for

224
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: a point, Like there's there's all these things inside of that.

225
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: And so then as it happened last on Monday night,

226
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: I was like, man, is that gonna happen? Like is

227
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: in sure enough on the scoreboard? I n T f

228
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: R on the same play. So those things pop up,

229
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: and when when you're running team defenses, crazy things can happen.

230
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 5: My favorite, my favorite stat of the night is that

231
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 5: Jalen Hurts now has three times as many interceptions on

232
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 5: the season as he did coming into the night, which is.

233
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: Just insane, right, I mean two and they four here

234
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 4: plus the fumble. What's always fun in the scoring of

235
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 4: it all is when when you have individual defensive players,

236
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: because then you start adding asterisks for tackles and and

237
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 4: you really have to make people understand the scoring nooses

238
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: that they've given themselves within their league for trying to

239
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 4: keep track of things. But yeah, for Jalen Hurts pushing

240
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 4: the ball down field, I mean bad things, man. Just

241
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 4: a very difficult night. Chargers defense steps up in a

242
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 4: big way. And again this is you finally got Saquon Barkley.

243
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 4: It's only a second hundred yard game of.

244
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: The year path, that's crazy, and he needed a fifty

245
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: sixty yard run to be able to catch it in

246
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: for him as well.

247
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 5: Which to your point earlier Mike about the Monsters inc broadcast,

248
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 5: the play of that was incredible where it was just

249
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 5: Mike Wazowski baulting fifty two yards leaving Sully in the dust.

250
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: Either get him in the one on one.

251
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 5: It's like they were ASKI down the sideline.

252
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 3: It's incredible.

253
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 4: They also on that play there was probably the most

254
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 4: obvious should have been holding call on Khloe Mack that

255
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 4: I've ever seen that was not flying as Barkley sprinted past.

256
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: So no friends in the Chargers Booth were losing their

257
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 4: minds at they did.

258
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: They had nothing to complain about. Now I just popped

259
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: into my mind, did you ever have the issue Mike

260
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: in Yahoo? Because I was mentioning field goals and I

261
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: remember what it was when someone runs a fake field goal.

262
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: I would have guys in my league say that that

263
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: should be a special teams like a touchdown.

264
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: No, it becomes an offensive play.

265
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's that's the point of it. Like it's

266
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: it's never like there's there's not a great area in

267
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: that scenario, Like that's pretty black and white.

268
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 3: It's just a differult alignment.

269
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's all it is. Yes, those are some

270
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: of the the discussions and complaints that we would we

271
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: would have long ago about fantasy and and when a

272
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: special team unit is out there and what happens.

273
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: And but well, even block kicks the way they're described

274
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 4: on games, right, Oh, there's a block it's like, well,

275
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 4: if it goes past the line of scrimmage, it's not

276
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 4: a block, it's two yard points.

277
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah.

278
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 4: Or it's a missfield goal, it's not it's not actually

279
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 4: a block kick, so you should not get the points. Now,

280
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: it might be like some of these online books for

281
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 4: betting that you know, do a oh oopsie kind of

282
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 4: thing where they still give you the points but you

283
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 4: shouldn't by rule.

284
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: That's that's the greatness of fantasy football, all the ins

285
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: and outs and when you think something's never going to

286
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: happen and ends up happening and people are wondering, how

287
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: the hell did this affect my team? And why did

288
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: I lose by point eight? Yeah, that's what happens.

289
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: That's it.

290
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, we're going to take a time out.

291
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 1: We're going to look at the rest of Week fourteen, which,

292
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: by the way, was a heck of a lot better

293
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: points wise as opposed to the two primetime games that

294
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: we got some up and down action in the late window. Plus,

295
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: we take a look at our report cards on who

296
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: hit what's in Week fourteen. It's all coming up next

297
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: to here on I Want Your Flex? All right, welcome

298
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: back to I Want Your Flex. He's Mike Carmen, I'm

299
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: Dan Byer. That's Ian Roddy. Let's get into it, guys, Mike,

300
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: what stood out to you in week fourteen?

301
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 4: Well, I think you know the theme of the last

302
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 4: couple of weeks has been some of these strange bedfellows.

303
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 4: When we get into the running back and wide receiver

304
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 4: positions of who's finding their way to the top for

305
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 4: the sake of the quarterbacks, there's only one that really

306
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 4: stood out, at least for the top five. As we

307
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: get to the top ten, there's our guy, Tyler Shuck

308
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 4: making his way. Lamar Jackson still finished as a top

309
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 4: seven play despite the inconsistencies, the inability, the touchdown that

310
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 4: got stolen, I'll say it.

311
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 3: I think it was a terrible call.

312
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Isaiah like Isaiah likely back back to back

313
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 4: weeks where he's involved in something chaotic, right, But you

314
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 4: look at Josh Allen putting on the cape once again,

315
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 4: shador and you want to talk about King of Yak, right,

316
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: and he can throw the ball the country mile, but

317
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 4: the big players are coming on underneath things where guys

318
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 4: are sprinting to daylight. He finishes as your number two

319
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 4: quarterback over thirty four points. Burrow, Darnold, guys in Stafford

320
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 4: like all guys that we could check the box there,

321
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 4: but then we start, you know, extrapolating, and well, who

322
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 4: were their biggest targets? And for week fourteen, all right

323
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 4: in nikoua fine. Michael Wilson, he's been great. Marvin Harrison

324
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 4: Junior missed again. We've talked about Wilson and Jacoby Brissett.

325
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: Great.

326
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 4: T Higgins finishes with twenty one. Probably shouldn't have finished

327
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 4: and played as much of the game as he did,

328
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 4: given some of the I would say concussive blows that

329
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 4: he took that might actually have put it back in there. Yeah, protocal,

330
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 4: leaving us wanting. But Christian Watson with a big game, Florne,

331
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: going back to that Dallas game, DK Metcalf finally got

332
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 4: off the off the the matt and was involved in

333
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 4: the Pittsburgh offense immediately. Was it a massive game for him, No,

334
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 4: but he actually mattered. You know, when we're looking at

335
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 4: half pprs, he still finishes as upper w R two

336
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 4: for us. So you have some of those kind of

337
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 4: options along the I'm sorry, finished seventh for this week,

338
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 4: the sort you know, the refreshing of some of these pages.

339
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 4: But Tim Patrick finds his way in. It just became

340
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 4: this curiosity of all right, here are number one guys

341
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 4: that just could get pushed to the side, and we're

342
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 4: finding those secondary players stepping up in a big way.

343
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 4: And the running back position. We always expect Attrician at

344
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 4: this point in the year, so much more of the

345
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 4: same in that regard when we start looking at, you know,

346
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 4: the the leaders and the Tony Pollard anybody. I don't

347
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 4: think we've mentioned Tony Pollard in twelve weeks.

348
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: No, I didn't think the Titans were going to score

349
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: against the Browns and they put thirty one up and

350
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: he had what a buck sixty?

351
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I mean.

352
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 4: So you got him at number two, Blake Korum runaway game,

353
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 4: he's number three, and R. J. Harvey's fifth. So I

354
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: mean you got three guys that rise above to where

355
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 4: we haven't seen that. Miami game got weird. So Jalen

356
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 4: Wright has himself a big game. But I think it's

357
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 4: just we're at the point where it's healthy bodies, workflow,

358
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 4: and just the uncertainty and it's the worst because well

359
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 4: it's playoff time, so trying to figure out touches and targets,

360
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 4: like we were just talking with the Chargers is a

361
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 4: really difficult proposition.

362
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: You mentioned T Higgins and now with the concussion and

363
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: he's in concussion protocol, I doubt that you're going to

364
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: see him against the Ravens coming up in week fifteen,

365
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: and so that that opens the door with Joe Burrow

366
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 1: being back these last couple of games, the Jamar Chase

367
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten into the end zone, but now you T

368
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: Higgins and so Jamar Chase could be a big play

369
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: down the stretch for teams that are waiting for him

370
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: to break out. But he was. You wouldn't think that

371
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow in those conditions would throw four touchdown passes

372
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: and throw for the amount of yards that he did,

373
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: but didn't seem to have any problems and finding T

374
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: Higgins and Chase Brown being as good as he's been. Yeah,

375
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see it with the Bengals now

376
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: with really not a lot to play for, but I

377
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: think they're gonna play with pride and I still we

378
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: think their defense is awful. That's not gonna get any

379
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: better in the next four weeks. So it could be

380
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: profitable for the Bengals to continue to ride those guys

381
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 1: even if they're out of the playoff.

382
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, Hendrickson is done right. That was one of the

383
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: reports from from early on Monday, that you won't see

384
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 4: him again. But and in the background floated all the

385
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 4: contract stuff, but he's evidently having surgery in the abden

386
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 4: abdominal area.

387
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Carl muscle.

388
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we look at that, but you know, Joe

389
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 4: Burrow didn't battle back to to walk away at this point, right,

390
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 4: So we'll see them give it the old college try,

391
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: which means they're gonna be a pain in the ass

392
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 4: for the opposing squads, and particularly if they can play

393
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 4: spoiler in the AFC North. That's what they want to do.

394
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 4: Fifty two and a half the total as I look

395
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 4: at it here on my grid.

396
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't rule them out of the playoffs just yet,

397
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: just a one percent chance, but it's very likely to happen.

398
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: The other thing with Hendrickson is you probably want to

399
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: get it done sooner rather than later for next year, right, Like.

400
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: There's no that's right.

401
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's out of the picture, and they say

402
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: six weeks just in case, maybe that one percent comes

403
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: out and guess what, the Bengals somehow end up miraculously

404
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 1: winning the division. Everything goes to hell and they make

405
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 1: it in. Then you could say, maybe Trey Hendrickson comes

406
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: back at some point. But even if that miracle would happen,

407
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: if I'm Trey Hendrickson. I'm probably not trying to come

408
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: back and playing any football this year, but I think

409
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: it's more just to set up for whoever he's going

410
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: to play for in twenty twenty six.

411
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 3: That's it.

412
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 4: I remember he got that extra what was it fourteen

413
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 4: million dollars? Yeah, I added for this year and then

414
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 4: you got about a half a season, which again, when

415
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 4: it happened, we talked about it, the three of us, like,

416
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 4: why are you giving him a bunch of money? Your

417
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 4: defense still staks. Yeah, whether he shows up or not,

418
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 4: you have proof of concept.

419
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 3: It's not good.

420
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't didn't make any sense. The the in

421
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: and out Applis Colts are free falling now, there's not

422
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: much to do. There's not much you can do with

423
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones being out for the year. Rightley Leonard's dinged up.

424
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is going to get a get a tryout.

425
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 3: Did you not smile about that? Though?

426
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 4: Come on, you saw Philip rivers name, you saw that report,

427
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 4: you verified that it was a legitimate news source, because

428
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 4: I sure as help did.

429
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: The crazy thing was Doug Gottlieb brought it up on

430
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: the show Monday, talking with Tom Tlasco sick. What do

431
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: you do? Just go and get an old guy like

432
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. Yeah, just you know, kind of like a

433
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: throwaway sort of thing. And because I think he's you know,

434
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: coaching and you know, doing stuff with his family and

435
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. What do you know, Here comes a

436
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: here comes a workout. But you got the Seahawks coming

437
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: up this weekend. That's what you want to come out

438
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: of retirement for.

439
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 3: When you look at their schedule.

440
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 5: Tom Brady's gonna get fomo here like he's gonna try

441
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 5: to make a comeback, and Phil up starts looking good.

442
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 4: That's nice to saying, though you look at their schedule

443
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: down the stretch. We chronicled a little bit Smith and

444
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 4: I as this story at Seattle home against San Francisco,

445
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 4: Jacksonville defense has been playing better, and then the final

446
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 4: week of the year on the road at Houston.

447
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll stay retired.

448
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's not easy. And that Texans game

449
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: was thought to be maybe a huge one at the

450
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: end of the year and it could end up becoming

451
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: meaningless because of how this is falling apart. They make

452
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: the deal, They give up two first round picks for

453
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner. They go to Germany and play the Falcons.

454
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: They win that overtime game, but DeForrest Buckner doesn't make

455
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: the trip because of his neck injury. He was a

456
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: big part of that defense. I think that's one of

457
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: the reasons why you're seeing them struggle. Then Daniel Jones

458
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: has the fracture, and then ultimately now the Achilles on

459
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: the other leg, and it just I mean, it's just

460
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: completely fallen apart for the Colts. And they even had

461
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: their first round picks for the next two years, like

462
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: it's I mean, I can't like it's December ninth or tenth,

463
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: depending on you know when you're listening to this podcast

464
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: and to that Germany game was in early November, and

465
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: for it to crumble this quickly in a month and

466
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: to have that and not only that, but your future

467
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: wasted like for the Colts, no first round pigs, Like man,

468
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,199
Speaker 1: just awful. I can't recall anything like it.

469
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 4: Oh and then you add the sauce Gardener injury.

470
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 5: Well, I was going to ask you, guys, do you

471
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 5: think it was a mistake to go all in?

472
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 4: No, I didn't think they needed It's a corner No,

473
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah that I guess we could talk that

474
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 4: side of things, you know, in terms of which position.

475
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 4: But if that's what you decided you needed, then I say,

476
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 4: you push when you can't, right if you're having a

477
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: charm season.

478
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 5: That's what I'm saying, Mike.

479
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: But I agree with you Dan, whether you know the

480
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 3: corner thing might have been the.

481
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 5: Well, they were one of the Super Bowl favorites by

482
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 5: that point in the season. So like, if it's looking

483
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 5: like you're this is the year for you guys, why

484
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 5: wouldn't you want to push all your cards in And

485
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 5: if cornerback is what you deem your weakest position. With

486
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 5: the Tarvarius Ward thing going on, I know he was

487
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 5: dealing with some stuff, but yeah, I don't know's it's

488
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 5: just such.

489
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: A I'll tell you, I'll tell you why. I'll tell

490
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: you why. It's ridiculous because outside of Jamar Chase, when

491
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: you look at the playoff picture in the NFC, and

492
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,159
Speaker 1: this is why I didn't like it. I didn't like

493
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: it within the division, like are you are you bringing

494
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: in Sauce Gardner to shut down Nico Collins for the

495
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: next couple of years? Is that? Like what this is about?

496
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 1: Because you have a Patriots team. What stuff on Diggs?

497
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: You need to get a corner to stop him in

498
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: the postseason. You need a corner to stop Courtland Sutton.

499
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: You need one to stop maybe Brian Thomas Junior, like

500
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, who hasn't been a factor this year, needed

501
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: a corner to stop who Khalil Shakir on the Bills

502
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: like it just didn't That position to me was of

503
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: no immediate need to have someone who is a lockdown corner.

504
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: Considering your your teams that you were competing with in

505
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: the AFC. If they wanted to give up two ones

506
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: for Quinn Williams, I woant to have made a lot

507
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: more sense.

508
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 4: No no argument whatsoever, no argument whatsoever. But you know,

509
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 4: certainly the early part of the season, the one part

510
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 4: that of the team that was questioned with some regularity

511
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 4: was the secondary. So maybe just in response to that,

512
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: and again I don't pretend to know you know, how

513
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: they came to that decision, but deciding to push in

514
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 4: yeah Twyn Williams, I'm curious what they got as a

515
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 4: response when they made the ask, sure right, and maybe

516
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 4: they decided, well that's too rich and instead went the

517
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,959
Speaker 4: other route. You know, trying to look at what your

518
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 4: schedule was. I ad at least try to shut down

519
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 4: half a field.

520
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: By the way, it started to cut you off because

521
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you a question. But Sauce was

522
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: on the trading block, Like his name was thrown out there, right,

523
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no it has been for the last

524
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: like twelve months.

525
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 5: No. That Like that's the thing though, is like he

526
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 5: it was out of the blue, like he this was

527
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 5: a guy who they just paid him, Like they just

528
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 5: paid him that huge contract, made him the highest paid

529
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,439
Speaker 5: corner in football. That was the crazy. Like to me,

530
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 5: it was a complete shock scene that he got traded

531
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 5: when you see the return. And I said it at

532
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 5: the time, like it just felt like way too much

533
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 5: for the Colts to give up. So that's the issue

534
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 5: that I have with it, is that they gave up

535
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 5: so much for it. But in terms of actually trading

536
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 5: for Sauce Gardner, the process is sound enough in my mind,

537
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 5: just because the trade deadlinees is a pro coaching. This

538
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 5: is a position group on our team that we deemed

539
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 5: to be on the weaker side. Let's go and get

540
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 5: one of the best in the league at it. But

541
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 5: he's a guy who doesn't create turnovers. It was always

542
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 5: an overpay.

543
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: That's yeah, at the end of the day, show you're

544
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: one hundred percent right. It was this summer. This past

545
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: summer he got his contract. But I know for a

546
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 1: fact that there were Jets people who were saying last year,

547
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: when you're trying to rebuild, the whole deal is like,

548
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: why do we have sauce? Why do we have you know,

549
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: a cornerback? And that's just my I'm with you on

550
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: the going for it, like because Daniel Jones's contract wasn't

551
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: going to be the same this year as it was

552
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: going to have to be next year.

553
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 3: It was a one year, fifteen million dollar deal, right.

554
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: I just think that they went to the wrong spot

555
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: and now now he's hurt. So Steven matter. But with

556
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 1: a team that's depleted having good corners, I don't know.

557
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: I just I think that I think offenses are too good,

558
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: Like just you're the way that you stop an offense

559
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: is from your defensive line and getting after the quarterback.

560
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,959
Speaker 1: But I've always felt that way.

561
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 4: Well, but that's it, right, quarderback. Someone to protect your

562
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 4: guy and someone to attack. It's the pat system protector

563
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 4: attack or thrower.

564
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: That's it.

565
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 4: Everything else is a bonus, especially if it's you got

566
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 4: to take on this level of cost, and that that's

567
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 4: the larger thing going forward with Sauce is that it

568
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 4: was a four year, one hundred and twenty million dollars deal,

569
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 4: So you've got a lot committed to that side of

570
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 4: the ball. Now you're expecting the continuance of the offenses

571
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 4: to get better, because that's just the way football has

572
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 4: been right to where even if we've got a few

573
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 4: running backs that are all world like a Chan and

574
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 4: what have you, that it is still a throwing league

575
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 4: most of the time.

576
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 3: So I guess. But to your point, yeah, I'd rather

577
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 3: have the attacker, no question.

578
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 4: I would have gone before his injury and said, all right,

579
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 4: why don't we give up something, even if it's just

580
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 4: a rental for whatever's left of Trey Hendrickson. Right, But

581
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 4: hindsight twenty twenty and now it's all falling apart. When

582
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones crumpled to the field. I don't know that

583
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 4: I've ever outside of you know, bears like Wendell Davis

584
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 4: and things like that, just that audible exhale of uh like,

585
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 4: because it just it was so sad, right, you know,

586
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 4: he's already played on the broken leg and he just

587
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 4: goes down. Yeah, and he immediately slams his helmet and

588
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 4: all of that, Like it was just a horrible moment.

589
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: And he's got to get the other leg fixed. Now,

590
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: he's got to get this one. And who's gonna sign

591
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: him in the off season. Maybe that's the break that

592
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: the Colts get, is that nobody wants Daniel Jones because

593
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: of his injury, and they'll be able to sign with

594
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: some sort of deal, but there's no guarante he's going

595
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: to be ready for twenty twenty six or even be

596
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: remotely close to the same quarterback in twenty twenty six. Yeah,

597
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, tough times for the Colts. By the way,

598
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: just so I don't restate history, I just want to

599
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: get this right for the record. So the Jets basically

600
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: make a commitment with Garrett Wilson in the office and

601
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: then they add Sauce to that. But prior to that,

602
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: I know there was trade talk. But then this offseason

603
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, it's like, Kay, Aaron Glenn's here.

604
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: We locked up Garrett Wilson, we locked up Sauce Gardner

605
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: we're ready to go, and then the next thing you know,

606
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: Sauce is out the door. Is that a good summary

607
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: ian of what happened?

608
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd say so.

609
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 5: I mean even even myself last season, before before we

610
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 5: even knew who the next coach of the Jets was

611
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 5: going to be, we're in that interim stage with Jeff Ulbrich.

612
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 5: I was kinda I know, among Jets Twitter and stuff,

613
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 5: there were some conversations had just like, you know, at

614
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 5: what point do you think, like, okay, just take what

615
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 5: you can get with the assets that you have. But

616
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 5: but I think the majority of fans wanted to keep

617
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 5: him around, just because in general, that's how fans are.

618
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 3: You know, you just want a star on your team.

619
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 5: Exactly, you want stars. You wanted to stick around homegrown guys.

620
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: And there was the commitment to Wilson as well, because

621
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: there was some question about whether he was going to

622
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: be there or not.

623
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I just I would not trade him ever. He's

624
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 5: just the best. He's the kind of guy you want

625
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 5: in that locker.

626
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, And they committed to both of those guys

627
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five. So I just hate it when

628
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: people miss state history and then don't correct it. So

629
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: I wasn't entirely right, and I'm glad that Ian said

630
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: what he said about the contract, but I knew that

631
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: there was at some point the Jets were on one

632
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: side and then they ended up being on the other,

633
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 1: and then they were back on that other side. Anyway,

634
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: speaking of the other side, we will come back on

635
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: the other side. We'll do our report cards plus anything

636
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 1: else that stuck out from a Week fourteen. We'll also

637
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: have our MIDWEK episode. We'll dive into more of what

638
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: is happening in the National Football League as well. It's

639
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 1: all coming up next to here and I want your flex.

640
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: It'll be a report card time in a sec. Plus

641
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 1: Mike's got some waiver wire pickups for you if you're

642
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: heading into the postseason or like me in my longtime

643
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: league where we only have ten guys who have one

644
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: more week of the regular season left to go and

645
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: then our two week playoff. But let's wrap and put

646
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: up the bow on. Wrap the bow, wrap the package.

647
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: Whatever the Christmas time feeling you want to say, Ian, Roddy,

648
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: what stood out to you in Week fourteen.

649
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 5: One thing that stood out to me is Lamar Jackson.

650
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 5: I kind of the overroaching thought that he just can't

651
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 5: be healthy. And I know I'm not alone in that,

652
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 5: but he just.

653
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 3: He can't be.

654
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 5: He can't be because if Lamar is healthy, like John

655
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 5: Harbaugh has been saying this whole time, like he's insistent

656
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 5: that Lamar is healthy, I'm concerned going forward about Lamar

657
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 5: because if he really is healthy and this is what

658
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 5: he looks like, he's about to turn twenty nine, he's

659
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 5: approaching that dreaded thirty, you know. And I get that

660
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 5: he's a quarterback and they generally tend to last longer,

661
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 5: but with his style, who knows how long? Like, we

662
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 5: just don't know. With such an unprecedented style of quarterback.

663
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 5: He's the best running quarterback in NFL history, you know,

664
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 5: so don't We don't know when the fall off is

665
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 5: going to happen with his athleticism. So I'm not saying

666
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 5: that it is necessarily happening right now, but I'm starting

667
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 5: to at least have, you know, back of my head

668
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 5: some concerns like is this kind of when it starts

669
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 5: to come, because he looks bad right now. He's not

670
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 5: making guys miss at the same level. His pocket presence

671
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 5: is worse it's it's ugly.

672
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: I thought him getting sacked. We talked about Mike reference

673
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: the likely catch that wasn't There was the Rogers deflected

674
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: ball that should have been Baltimore's and ended up Pittsburgh.

675
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: But on the Ravens last play from scrimmage, Lamar got

676
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: sacked and it was just like, you know, they didn't

677
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: even get the throw off. And I thought that that

678
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: was very fitting unlike him, Yes, exactly, like who catches

679
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: him in that situation, Not that he was going to

680
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: run the ball, but just to elude pressure to be

681
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: able to get some sort of throw off for them

682
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: to try to win the game. And he couldn't do that.

683
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: That was Yes, that was not good. And it's not

684
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: like the Steelers are the old Steel Curtain, I mean,

685
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: to have the issues that he had against them. They'll

686
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: have their games every now and then. But yeah, you're right,

687
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: something is off of Yeah, with five.

688
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 4: Straight weeks under sixty percent completion percentage, I talk about

689
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 4: the sacks to this week, but hurried and not able

690
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 4: to get to the end. He did have his highest

691
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 4: rushing total in a while at forty three and a touchdown.

692
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 4: You had the Mark Andrews intercepting, well he didn't catch it,

693
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 4: but taking the would be standing touchdown from DeAndre Hopkins,

694
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 4: and there was a lot of gesturing anger Lamar on

695
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 4: the sideline, a bunch of instances where he was getting

696
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 4: and chewing guys out, which we had Jason lock and

697
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: Ford does work there out of Baltimore. He said, that

698
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 4: is not the Lamar Jackson that you're used to, like

699
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 4: it's normally a very up, uplifting guy. So the frustrations

700
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 4: are there, and he estimates he's playing at a little

701
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 4: over sixty percent. Wow, like he's everything that's been reported.

702
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 4: The ankle got his footstepped on, like he's basically the

703
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 4: wacky doctors game operation. That's my assessment of what talking

704
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 4: to people back in Baltimore. It's like one injury after

705
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 4: the next, which has hampered him. The offensive lines not

706
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 4: as good as it's been. Derrick Henry is a bit

707
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 4: of a diminished guy in terms of being able to

708
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 4: rely on him and then being betrayed by everybody except

709
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 4: for Zay Flowers in the receiving corps, even if Mark

710
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 4: Andrews did get that new contract. So it's a lot

711
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 4: of stuff piling up. But your concerns are warranted because

712
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 4: that running element. It's like when Cam Newton hit that

713
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 4: point right when that was what made him superman and

714
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 4: he called himself superman and then he became a guy.

715
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,839
Speaker 5: I don't know how old he was at the time,

716
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 5: but I would have to assume it was somewhere around close.

717
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: The other thing with with the Ravens is they could

718
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,280
Speaker 1: use a year where they have a top ten pick.

719
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: So why going through all of this to win a

720
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: division when you're not going to make it through the

721
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: conference is you know, just surprising to me. You know,

722
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: they could They really could use some retooling on defense.

723
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: It was some retooling on the offensive line. So to

724
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: play Lamar and try to map out these games and

725
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: try to get what you can and trying to win

726
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 1: a few down the stretch. I know you can't hunt

727
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: on the season, but if he is sixty percent, maybe

728
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: it's better off of Baltimore just kind of all right,

729
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: let's just let's get ready for twenty twenty six because

730
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: it's just not there. They're not beating any of the

731
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: teams that are in the playoff picture ahead of them.

732
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: They got a trip to Green Bay coming up later

733
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,919
Speaker 1: on this season. So yeah, it's tough, tough, uh, tough

734
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: driving for the Baltimore rates.

735
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 4: What is part of that thing? I don't know what

736
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 4: it's like. I hope to get there, but to where

737
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 4: you never bought them out right. It's like Pittsburgh in

738
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 4: that same boat of yeah, they're always slightly above the

739
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 4: five hundred or maybe you know a few wins above,

740
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 4: you know, the ten wins seasons, eleven win season, whatever,

741
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 4: but you never bought them out to where you just

742
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 4: have a hard reset where you have to look at

743
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 4: and take it down to brass tacks. Ian and I

744
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: we've watched that happen with our team every year.

745
00:36:58,400 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 5: It's like, what are they gonna do? I don't know,

746
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 5: new rock Bottom. There's a rock at your bottom, beneath

747
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 5: every rock.

748
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 4: Bottom, that's it, right, how many layers in the rings

749
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 4: towards hell can we get to?

750
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 3: But for these teams, they've never done it.

751
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think that my team, the Seahawks, are

752
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: the perfect example of why the Ravens need a reset.

753
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: You make a make a good trade, right, you trade

754
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, you move him off. Maybe there's maybe there's

755
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: trade Baltimore can make, right, sure, get some younger talent

756
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: in there. You have to, you have to hit in

757
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: the draft. But the the reset isn't like, isn't guaranteed

758
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 1: where you're going to be three and fourteen or four

759
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:44,800
Speaker 1: and thirteen, especially with today's NFL, like and there's a

760
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: way to do it. And the problem that like Seattle had,

761
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: which I think is the problem that Baltimore is probably having,

762
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: is your clothes you're not and so you're making all

763
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: these additions that you think are going to put you

764
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,360
Speaker 1: over the hunk, just slowly taking you away from the

765
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: ultimate prize. And Pete Carroll was that way, Like Pete

766
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,880
Speaker 1: Carroll always wanted to compete, compete, compete, and when he

767
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: ultimately was let go and John Schneider was able to

768
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: run more of the roster without Pete Carroll saying I

769
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: want this guy, I want that guy, it wasn't as

770
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: much of a rebuild as you would have. So that's

771
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 1: why I think could really help in Baltimore is right now, like, yeah,

772
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: they're missing out on the playoffs and are just two

773
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: years removed from you know what an AFC Championship game

774
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: where they thought that they you know, were on their

775
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: way to the super Bowl. But you're a lot further

776
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: away from the super Bowl than you realize. If you

777
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: keep on making moves.

778
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 4: Like that, Can you get John Schneider to go talk

779
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 4: to the folks in Raiderland?

780
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 3: Now you probably did jump off this ship.

781
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: Sure you know the way they weren't loyal to their quarterback,

782
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,919
Speaker 1: right they said to not only Russell Wilson with Gino

783
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: smancon he made some tough decisions there. Sure you made

784
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 1: a get a questionable trade at the time with the

785
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: Giants to bring in Leonard Williams. But you show Leonard

786
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: Williams what your building's like. He's then become the anchor

787
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: of that defensive line, you know, Sprinkle in a couple

788
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: of other pieces, and what do you know, it's not

789
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 1: as bad as you know, what you could have had. So, yeah,

790
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: things can turn around. Maybe the Ravens should take note,

791
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: but we shall see. Still a lot to play for

792
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, especially in fantasy football. Mike, Let's

793
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: get your waiver wire and then we'll wrap it up

794
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: with some report cards at the end, because yeah, they're

795
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: a doozy this week.

796
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 3: We'll just put it that way exactly. We already talked

797
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 3: about CJ. Stroud.

798
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 4: Opportunity there, Yoshavash, because we assume that no T. Higgins

799
00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 4: available for you there. Marcus Mariota will be back under center,

800
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 4: one would presume for Washington as Jaden Daniels leaves once again,

801
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 4: opportunity against the Giants defense this time out. As we

802
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 4: look at that, you got Jade reed. His share will

803
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 4: continue to grow as he gets healthy again. The Packers,

804
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 4: I'm deploying a lot of guys and while he's not

805
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 4: a start this week against Denver, it's more just a

806
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 4: long term put it away. We've watched what the Packers

807
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 4: offense was able to do against the Bears. We have

808
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 4: these stupid ass and I'll say it sandwich games coming

809
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 4: up for a lot of teams. Right, Packers played Denver

810
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 4: this week, then they play the Bears again. So again,

811
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 4: Ben don't break, They'll move the ball, and you saw

812
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 4: the deep ball work very well.

813
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 3: There.

814
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 4: You've got Bryant of the Denver Broncos over the last

815
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,440
Speaker 4: three weeks, twelve catches on seventeen targets. So getting a

816
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 4: little bit of love there. So we look at the

817
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 4: tight end position, Barner nineteen catches over the last four

818
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 4: theo Johnson with an opportunity against the Washington secondary. So

819
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 4: getting a little deeper as we go through stuff. We

820
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 4: talked a little bit about Devin Neil a bit in

821
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 4: terms of what his workload has been, still available in

822
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 4: a lot of leagues, Folks just reticent to go anywhere

823
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 4: near and he players. And we talk about Shuck going

824
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,360
Speaker 4: up against Carolina. Maybe not the most obvious of plays,

825
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 4: but for fantasy purposes, he's been strong since taking over

826
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 4: the start. And how about want a blast from the past.

827
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 4: We laughed about Philip Rivers and wax poetic. What about

828
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins against a really bad Tampa Bay secondary?

829
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 3: How about that?

830
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 4: Will we talk about because no bye weeks, but we've

831
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 4: got injuries, you might have to be forced to go.

832
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 4: Maybe you had Daniel Jones in a super flex, maybe

833
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 4: you had one of these other guys, you know, because

834
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 4: the quarterback is generally going to be your play if

835
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,799
Speaker 4: you can find one, sir, Now, do I trust Kirk?

836
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 4: I gotta wait till later in the week to see

837
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 4: if Drake London's gonna get himself back up off the mat.

838
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 4: But certainly I look desperation and sometimes just playing defense

839
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 4: to add a guy to your bench so it doesn't

840
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 4: come back to beat you.

841
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely the Yeah, Drake London has been a missing piece

842
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: that would help the situation. The Buccaneers like you. We're

843
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: gonna get to your report card in a second, because

844
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: I know he Tyler Shuck was one of your ninjas

845
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 1: this week and he catched in. He is a villain

846
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,439
Speaker 1: of mine and Ian Roddy is Ian. Do you want

847
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: to go first on how the streaming defenses went?

848
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'll go first. So, uh yeah, So Tyler

849
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 5: Shuck and the Saints they played against the Tampa Bay Bucks.

850
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 5: The Bucks were one of my streaming defenses this week.

851
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 5: They actually were the best play of the three that

852
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 5: I gave you, guys. That says a lot here because uh,

853
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 5: Tampa Bay. They got you seven fantasy points.

854
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:32,799
Speaker 3: That was it.

855
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 5: You know, it's a meager outing, not terrible, not a

856
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 5: week lose, not bad. Actually, yeah, that was the best

857
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 5: of the three. Got you seven points. They allowed twenty

858
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 5: four points to Tyler Shuck. He scored two rushing touchdowns.

859
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 5: That was part of why he was so good for fantasy.

860
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 5: He did throw an interception and they sacked him three times.

861
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,400
Speaker 5: But like Mike said, Shuck's been slowly getting better and better,

862
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,360
Speaker 5: so so the Bucks did not play as the defense

863
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 5: didn't play as well as I expected them to there

864
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 5: because Shuck just keeps getting better.

865
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 4: Three of his last four starts teen, eighteen point four

866
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 4: and twenty two point three.

867
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, quietly. Next up the Washington Commanders. They got you

868
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 5: three fantasy points here. They allowed thirty one points to

869
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 5: the Vikings and they got four sacks as well on

870
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy. But man giving up thirty one points to McCarthy,

871
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 5: I just did not see that coming. So yeah, only

872
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 5: got you three points there, but hey, if not for

873
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 5: those four sacks, it would have been a negative outing,

874
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,799
Speaker 5: so they at least salvaged it. And then lastly, the

875
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 5: Baltimore Ravens, as we've talked about them extensively here, I

876
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 5: recommended them zero fantasy points. They didn't lose your points,

877
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 5: so we'll take a small win there. But now it

878
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 5: was just just a goosegg from the Ravens defense. Twenty

879
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 5: seven points allowed and that was it.

880
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: Well, at least Ian's streaming defense has provided a little

881
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: sunshine because they gave you three options for a survivor

882
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: pool and went oh to three everybody crapped out on me.

883
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,360
Speaker 1: Buccaneers were a popular pick by many, and it was

884
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: my pick that I went with the pool. And yeah,

885
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: we got Tyler Shukd, that's for sure, although I would

886
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 1: almost say like we got a Mecca who could in

887
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: a way, we got Baker Mayfield in a way, we

888
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,439
Speaker 1: got Chris Godwin in a way. They all had opportunities

889
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: to make plays and didn't cash in and ended up

890
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: ultimately losing a night wet, soggy Sunday afternoon in Florida.

891
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,279
Speaker 1: So the Saints get the win and knocked out a

892
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 1: ton of entries in survivor pools, the Big Circle one,

893
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,080
Speaker 1: and know the Buccaneers were a top pick. In mind,

894
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: we had eighty one entries left. I think fifty five

895
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 1: of us picked the Buccaneers. So that was probably a

896
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: bad choice by me, knowing that there would be a

897
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: lot of people picking the Buccaneers, kind of want to

898
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: go in the opposite direction. The opposite direction I would

899
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,839
Speaker 1: have gone would probably have been the Browns. I as

900
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier in the podcast, Guys, I don't think

901
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,000
Speaker 1: Tennessee was going to score. I thought this would be

902
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,000
Speaker 1: a Miles Garrett. I mean it was so much a

903
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett game that we were talking about him getting

904
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 1: five sacks and breaking the record against dam Ward.

905
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 4: Right eight dollars to go to the game to watch

906
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 4: him break the record.

907
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,959
Speaker 3: Instead, it's like, what the hell's Tony Pollard doing.

908
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, Garrett didn't even get five pressures?

909
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah right, it's crazy thirty one twenty nine and the

910
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: bron still had a chance at the end, but Judkins,

911
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: you know, messes up the two point conversion and then

912
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: I should have been on the other side. Now, not

913
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 1: that I thought that Brady Cook was going to see

914
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 1: action for the Jets, but that is what happened against

915
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and the Dolphins cruise past New York. I

916
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: just thought if Torod Taylor was playing in that game,

917
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: thought maybe weather could have been a factor with the

918
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins in town. But I was zero to three and

919
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: deserve my fate. I did get the points of Palooza, correct,

920
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 1: but that's just thanks to the Rams, because they put

921
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,919
Speaker 1: forty five up on the Cardinals and ended up having

922
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: the second highest point total this week behind that Bill's Bengals.

923
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: That was even in a snowstorm. They still put up

924
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: seventy three points. But that's my report card for the week.

925
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 4: Just an insane week of football, no question about it.

926
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 4: Topsy Turvy take the victory on Shuck for that. In

927
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 4: terms of the Ninjas, Saquon who we put down there

928
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 4: because it was the well what do we do with

929
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley at this point? He ended up finishing sixth

930
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 4: for the week. Te Higgins was a big play for us,

931
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 4: but missus on Bam Knight and Tarad Taylor actually had

932
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 4: minus point eight. He was minus for the day. Fellas

933
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 4: dk Metcalf was in the cold source made me look stupid.

934
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 4: We did have Mconkey, so we'll take the push on

935
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 4: that one. Devantae Adams streak ended, so a win there.

936
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 4: Marx was on the cold source screwed me with that

937
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 4: to touchdown justin. Herbert gets points for toughness, but outside

938
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:35,319
Speaker 4: his rushing yards didn't give you a whole lot, so

939
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 4: he was middling. Caleb was middling against Green Bay and

940
00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:43,920
Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes terrible against Houston, so we'll take some victories there. Quarterbacks,

941
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 4: we had three of our top five worked out well.

942
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

943
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 4: The first three guys Alan Burrow staff are great. Four

944
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 4: and five were Baker and Jalen.

945
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: Hurts take the sixty percent. That's it. Yes, in a.

946
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 4: Lot of places, that's actually passing grade more with the

947
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 4: scales that we've added to things. A Chen and Chase

948
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 4: Brown got me into the winning winners circle there in

949
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 4: the running backs, they tied for seventh. Josh Jacobs finishes

950
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 4: his back end number one, and then Taylor Cook absolute

951
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 4: disasters wide receivers. We take the wins off Puka and

952
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:24,880
Speaker 4: JSN because they never steer me wrong. Aj Brown solid

953
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 4: game but no touchdown and a half PPR leads you

954
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 4: to a sixteenth place finish. Nico Collins fourteenth, and then

955
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,799
Speaker 4: Rashie Rice all the way down at number forty eight.

956
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: Well, that's you nailed on Michael Wilson, so that was

957
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: a hit. Jacoby Myers on one of your hot plays

958
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: was a gut in the end zone.

959
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 3: So he's had a good run.

960
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely has. So I see many more stars

961
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: than the merits on Mike Harmon's report card for a week.

962
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 3: You're two kind, two kind, I'm a harsh grater.

963
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: Well, well, we'll see how the rest of the NFL

964
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: grades out over these final four weeks. We've got a

965
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: bunch to get to it's playoff time. There's so much

966
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:10,319
Speaker 1: at Steak and fantasy football. That's why we're gonna be

967
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: here for you with more episodes leading you all the

968
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: way to the end of the regular season. Week fourteen

969
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: was a dandy and now we're done with the buys.

970
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: We're ready to go. We're about to hit the home stretch.

971
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: There'll be our MIDWEK episode and then of course on Friday,

972
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,919
Speaker 1: Michaelavis rankings for a Week fifteen and so much more

973
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,000
Speaker 1: so until then. For Ian Roddy and Mike Carmon, I'm

974
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: Dan Beyer. We'll talk to you next time, and I

975
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:33,760
Speaker 1: want your flex
