8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: a different producer behind the glass room just engage in

9
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: the enthralling conversation. I have to say, of all, there's

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: a lot of people at NFL media that I would

11
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: consider uh trolls, and I would like to think that

12
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 1: I occasionally dip my toes in the water of of

13
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: being a small bit of a troll myself. But I

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: think one of the best is is Erica behind the

15
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: glass here, real professional, professional troll. I don't think that's

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: the word I would use, you know, myself, but I

17
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: mean it's it's said with the utmost complimentary tone. Yeah,

18
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you're just really easy to make fun of.

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: I know. The walking joke of my own life. The

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: whiskid from Wisconsin fresh off of a pair of television appearances. Yes,

Speaker 1: watched the World Series again last night. Dude, I'm exhausted.

26
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: So it was an emotional on the West Coast, it

27
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: was like perfect time to watch. It was just it

28
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: was five hours long. Oh dude. It was probably like

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: two am when that ended on the East Coast. I

30
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: don't care. They weren't even watching on the Eat coast. Yeah,

31
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: they were sleep They don't care. But it was a

32
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: good game. We got producer Erica in the building as well.

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,360

34
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: good man. We're just trying to try to get through Monday.

35
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: It could be worse. What a rousing starts with the boy. Okay,

36
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: we gotta we got a great show in front of

37
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: us here. Today we're gonna be really breaking down the

38
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Saints offense. We will be giving you the waiver wire.

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: Alex Gilhard writes a terrific piece every single week and man,

40
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: he has some waiver Wire guys for you. All ready

41
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: to rock and roll. We will talk about top performers,

42
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: will talk about your biggest disappointments, and we will get

43
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: to every damn game as well. But we start your

44
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,399
Speaker 1: show as we always do, with your top fantasy headline

45
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: news news, news news, the whistles go. All right, Let's

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: start with DeShawn Watson. Man, he is an absolute just stud.

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: Four d and two passing yards, four touchdowns. He didn't

48
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: have those three picks, one of them came in desperation,

49
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: but six doesn't matter, doesn't matter. I mean really, he

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: just was. It was such a baller performance and sixty

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: seven rush yards as well. Um, can I get the

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: in Seattle? In Seattle? So I want to get the

53
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: reaction here regarding Deshaun Watson. And it's funny because I

54
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: feel like we talked about DaShan a lot with each

55
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: and every um. You know, incredible performance that he puts on.

56
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: But I mean in Seattle, take it on the legion

57
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: of Boom. I mean challenging Richard Truman, challenging Earl Thomas.

58
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: Did he win those battles all the time? No? But man,

59
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: he comes out and just is firing. He is absolutely fearless.

60
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: Can we talk about his performance and then of course

61
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: we'll get to the to the Houston Texas offense in general.

62
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: But Alex Gilholler takeaways from that game, I mean to

63
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: use to steal Harmon slash sigmunds Bloem, Sigmund Blooms turn.

64
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: This was kind of like an inflection point game, Watson,

65
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: because inflection point Drink. We had seen his ceiling against

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of bad past defenses in a row, and

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: coming out of the bi there was a concern like,

68
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: all right, he's a rookie. He's had some passes that

69
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: could be intercepted. Can he still access his outrageously high

70
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: fantasy ceiling against good defenses? And he proved he could.

71
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, I see a bad spot.

72
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: At at this point, you cannot sit him. I don't

73
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: think you just can't. He's he's too he's too electric

74
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: right now and his ceiling is too high. Like you

75
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: just have to play him every week, man, Harman, I

76
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: know you were a little bit, a little bit more cautious,

77
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: I think, Deshaun Watson, Yeah, yesterday, so um, I I

78
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: know we had been you know, every time you go

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: on Twitter, It's like, you know, people hit you up

80
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: with Twitter questions, Should I play Alex Smith or Deshaun Watson?

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: Should I play this guy or Deshaun Watson. I play

82
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 1: this guy or Deshaun Watson. Um, And it seems like

83
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Deshaun Watson questions out there. And

84
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: I think you were a little bit more cautious about

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: his upside because even though what he had done to

86
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: this point was really awesome, I still thought that, you know,

87
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: this is a rookie quarterback going into Seattle. But I

88
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: think I miss judged the situation in two ways. One,

89
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: this is not a normal rookie quarterback. Uh, this is

90
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: something different that we're not used to seeing. I mean,

91
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: I tweeted yesterday that I wish, I wish Deshaun Watson

92
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: was my quarterback, right I'm annoyed that he's not. I

93
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: also was saying to people privately, like I wish there

94
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: was thirty two Uh Russell Wilson's, uh, Deshaun Watson's and

95
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott say you want to tweet this because I

96
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: don't want people coming at me or whatever, Like I mean,

97
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: you know, but I want those guys to be spread

98
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: throughout the league. Everybody should have one of them because

99
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: they're just so much fun to watch. But this is

100
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: not a normal rookie quarterback. In the second way that

101
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: I miss judged this, I think it's not It's not

102
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: like the same Seahawks defensive old you know. True, they

103
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: can get beaten in a number of different ways, and

104
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: really it's just not a team that like with the

105
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: player playing with the momentum that he has right now,

106
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: that we should be afraid that they're just going to

107
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: completely stop it. I think also missing Cliffavor probably had

108
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: a big effect on that defensive line and just getting

109
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: after a guy like DeShawn Watson. But let's talk about

110
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: the wide receivers Man Franciscovic. I mean again, we were

111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: just marveling at the fact that he was just firing

112
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: balls to nuke, but especially Will Fuller as well. Yeah,

113
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 1: I mean just keeps catching touch. Every catch is a

114
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: touchdown with will Fuller and Watson's performance produced two of

115
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: the top three Fantasy wider fevers of the week, Hopkins

116
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: and Fuller. Uh, it was incredible and a lot of

117
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: we're getting I'm seeing a lot of tweets now, people

118
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: who are like, oh, I drafted d Hop in the

119
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,799
Speaker 1: third round and I picked Watson up on waiver wires

120
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: that I'm seven and one in my league. Like his

121
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Watson is producing an offense that's single handedly winning people

122
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: their seasons in fantasy. It's insane. It's great to see, man,

123
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: it's absolutely great to see. And you guys have used

124
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: that you know phrase, you know, a what is it

125
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: a rising tide? Yeah, he's he's rising all the tides

126
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: in this offense. Be cool to see man and Mill.

127
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller had two touchdowns too. Oh, so there you go.

128
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there's another guy. And it's funny too because

129
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: last year we're talking about a lot of the same

130
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: you know characters there in Houston, and none of them

131
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: could get anything. It was the most important position on

132
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: the I said, I I think I said at one

133
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: point yesterday to Harmon, it's hard to remember, Like, imagine

134
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: what the Texans offense was at this point last season.

135
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: It was difficult to watch, and now it's one of

136
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: the most fun teams in the league to watch, like

137
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: in James, so fun. You kind of busting my chops

138
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: on the show too, when I was like, Lamar Miller

139
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: has been like cooking a little bit cooking. He's had

140
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: at he's had a handful of touchdowns, and even in

141
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: the games he didn't, he was averaging like ninety ish

142
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: total yards, which if you're gonna get nine, you know,

143
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 1: nine and a half points on like an off day

144
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: from a running back, I'll take that without a touchdown. Yeah,

145
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: you know what I realized it was it's the fact

146
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: that his I mean, he's been doing well, but I

147
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: mean it's just the fact that in this particular offense,

148
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: he's an afterthought, even though in fannessy he's doing well.

149
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: But just when you're watching these games, I'm like, Lamar

150
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: Miller's on this team somewhere, he's just getting lost in

151
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: the shuffle, you know what. The defense like, Hell, that's right,

152
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: They've got a running back shoots through for like ten

153
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: twelve yards exactly. Mike Grinner from Pro Football Focus tweeted

154
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: this morning just to show the difference between the two

155
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to Shaun Watson has more deep passing yards in

156
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: the last four games four hundred and six the roc

157
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: Osweiler had all of last season. Those comparisons are just

158
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: gonna go on all year, and they're just gonna be insane. Yeah,

159
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: well whatever it's deserved. Should we talk about will Fuller too,

160
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: because that's an interesting Yeah, his efficiency dropped way way down.

161
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm really disappointed in him. So so here's the thing

162
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: with will Fuller now at this point, I mean, he

163
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: has what they seven, which is outrageous, and every fan

164
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: and every fantasy analyst is, you know, strolling down the

165
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: time like, well, he's going to regress eventually, and you

166
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: know that is accurate. He's not going to catch thirty

167
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns on fifty some targets or whatever the rate would

168
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: be that but it's not to me. It's like, that's

169
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: not revelatory analysis that the deal with will Fuller now

170
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: is like basically you can never not play this guy

171
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: because you could be sitting and again this was this

172
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: was a solid matchup going forward. I mean they've got

173
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: a they've got a pretty juicy schedule. Mean they play

174
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: the Cults next week. Uh, Like he might he might

175
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: drop a two for performance in your lineup one day,

176
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: but I feel like you don't have to. It's worth

177
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: I think it's at some point that's gonna happen just

178
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: because of the volume that he's getting. At some point,

179
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's going to regress. It's just inevitable. Again,

180
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: unless you expect him to score thirty touchdowns this year, James,

181
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: which I don't think I do. It's it's just a

182
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: situation where you can't leave that on your bench. You

183
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: can plan around that potential volatility with other players in

184
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: your line up, pick more secure guys, but to me,

185
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: you have to make sure you find a way to

186
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: expose yourself to that weekly ceiling every every game. He's

187
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: got like the weekly ceiling of d Jacks Circle like,

188
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: but with a better quarterback. And uh and he's hitting

189
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: way more often right now. You know, I think Mike

190
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: Clay and and obviously we respect that crap, but I'm

191
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: like Clay. But you know, he made drew a comparison

192
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: between Will fuller Um and what Marvin Jones did as

193
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: well in terms of Okay, you've seen the ceiling, town, Yeah,

194
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: you've seen the Yeah, you've seen the ceiling. You know,

195
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: this is a guy that can, you know, obviously produce

196
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns when given the opportunity, but there will be times

197
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: when he absolutely craters. I just I get the comparison,

198
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: but it's different because he's got a different quarterback. That's

199
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: just my thought. That's fair. But again, looking at the

200
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: schedule just for the rest of the year, they get

201
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: the Colts next week, then the Rams, the Cardinals, the Ravens,

202
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: the Titans. The forty nine. Is the only spot that

203
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: this whole offense runs into where I might be like,

204
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: what do we do? Is in Jacksonville on December seventeen.

205
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: I believe that his Week fifteen, to get the Steelers

206
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: and Colts closed out of the year, that is gonna be.

207
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: So that's just gonna be an epic matchup. Man, I

208
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: can't wait to see. I mean, from just a real

209
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: life fantasy, and I'll be stressing from Fromanta that game

210
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: could have playoff implications as much as think about it,

211
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: a December game in Jacksonville for the division lead. Maybe

212
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: un us uh an Inland beach house. Let's go a

213
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: couple of miles from the beach. We should move on.

214
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk about New England a little bit here. Um again,

215
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 1: it's a defense. I just I'll throw all this question

216
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: out to you guys. All right, how's the New England

217
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: defense found something? Because the first six weeks of the

218
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: sea in just trash, I mean we're talking about a defense.

219
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: It was just getting shred like to go first, I

220
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: don't I don't believe it right now. They've had if

221
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: you look at the last couple of games that have

222
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: helped swing there, like yardage in points against totals and stuff.

223
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: You go to the Jets game they had that messed

224
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: up a s j touchdown called back, took points off

225
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: the board and also like took plays for the Jets

226
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: off the table, like even if like because it was

227
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 1: it was a touchback. It was the dumbest rule in football.

228
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: So then New England took over and just did their

229
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 1: clock controlling thing. The Falcons game gets sarkotta here plus

230
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: the fog like wipe wipe that game off off off

231
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: the thing. In this game, Travis Benjamin returns upon negative

232
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: eleven yards for a safety like that that takes a

233
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: whole that gives the Patriots points, puts the ball back

234
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: in their hands, takes a whole possession out of Philip

235
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: Chargers hands, And that was it was so that what

236
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: happened then is that was a case that I was

237
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: listening to the A ten pot on the way to

238
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: work this morning. The Patriots ran like fifty five plays

239
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: to fourteen or nineteen for the Charges in the first

240
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: half because of like a dumb flukey thing like that.

241
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: They're they're what they're having to do is they're having

242
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: to go like Cowboys last year and do super super

243
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: super superclock control to cover their defense. Their defense has

244
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: not been fixed in my eyes by any stretch. But

245
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 1: isn't it from at least from a fantasy perspective, does it?

246
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: I guess does it matter. I was going to say

247
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: that it might not matter because this is the next

248
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: again to come back to schedule. They play in Denver

249
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: next week, Like that's an offense that's trying to find itself.

250
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: The Raiders offense is overrated, the Dolphins are a bad

251
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: offense that they're in Buffalo, that that's actually should be

252
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: a good that should be a good one has that

253
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: has that offense cooking. Then they play the Dolphins again,

254
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: and then the Steelers are Bills, So I mean, it

255
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: might not matter because none of the I mean, the

256
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: only team I think that's even above average offense on

257
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: that slate right now is the Raiders barely and the Bills.

258
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: But like it's a case where uh and with with

259
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: the Broncos pass catches. It wouldn't be a situation where

260
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we should fear starting to marry

261
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: as Thomas and Emmanuel spot. I mean, even these bad offenses,

262
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: they have fantasy ass It's that people will be concerned about, certainly. Um.

263
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: And up until this point, New England was a defense

264
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: where you're you were licking your chops. You were like,

265
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: oh my god, oh my goodness, yes, please let me

266
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: have assets in this uh New England defense or against

267
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: this New England defense. Right. But I'm just I'm I

268
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 1: guess what I'm saying is should we shift our paradigm

269
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: here um and view this defense as as actually not

270
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: that kind of defense moving forward? Just given the fact

271
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row now they've had pretty good

272
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: performances and and however they're doing it, whether they're doing

273
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: it through clock control or whatever it might be, they're

274
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 1: limiting the opportunity swords. I mean, that's just the the

275
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: overall question I have. I don't know if it's true.

276
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: I don't think that they've improved from a real life standpoint,

277
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: but from a fantasy perspective, I'm just wondering, can the

278
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: offense do enough to limit I guess in terms of

279
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: clock control limit the other offense, if that makes any sense,

280
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: maybe not maybe big these games with New or New

281
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: England or just not like every in the pool sort

282
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 1: of games that you get your guys in there, but

283
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: probably you're not going down to like, wow, do I

284
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 1: start like a Penny Fowler against them next week or

285
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: something like that. I mean, because again, three weeks ago

286
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: we were everyone was like, oh my god, you gotta

287
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: pick on these uh New England Patriots defenders. But you know,

288
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's the case before. But I'll

289
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: be interested to see to your point, Alex gill Hard

290
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: if it was just more flukey performances, Uh maybe the

291
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: whole Sark effect which was really bad for for Atlanta

292
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: versus just really really bad still remains poor, remains Yes,

293
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about New Orleans. And I'm excited

294
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: about this topic because I'm just I'm curious as to

295
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: see what you guys think about New Orleans. The Saints

296
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 1: offense from a fundamental standpoint right now, they're running of

297
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 1: their plays as run plays. Uh, that's a very run

298
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: heavy approach given a the Saints, and just be the

299
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: NFL in general of their plays or passes in ten

300
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: Just for comparison, again, forty three percent this year our

301
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: runs last year it was thirty that were runs and

302
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: in the eyeball test also kind of I think confirms

303
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: this man franchise. But what are your thoughts on the Saints?

304
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: And the reason I bring it up is because from

305
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, boy, we get really excited about the

306
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: volume for Michael Thomas. The volume for a guy like

307
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: even ancillary pieces like a Willie Sneed, the upside for

308
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: a Willie Sneed, Drew Brees as a fantasy quarterback, maybe

309
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: the volume isn't there now. I think one of the

310
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: biggest things is the improvements on the defense have made

311
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: them not have to be so aggressive on the other

312
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: side of the ball, because they were just one of

313
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: the worst offenses in the league for the last two years.

314
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: Like historically bad right, historically bad defense, yes, correct, So

315
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: they were always trying to play catch up with the

316
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: teams that they were facing. And Drew Brees is throwing

317
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: the ball forty five times a game and he was,

318
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: you know, six hundred times a year, and that created

319
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: volume for the rest of the past catchers. Even though

320
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: he would spread it around. You know, you'd still have

321
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: your your big games out of your wide receivers, and

322
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas hasn't been that guy this year. And they're

323
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: giving the ball to Alvin Kamara and mark ingram More.

324
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: Like you said, like, they're more run heavy and these

325
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: guys are getting it done. So I'm gonna double down

326
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: on your run play percentage. That here. Over the last

327
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: three weeks, they've been a forty nine percent a passing

328
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: play percentage team. That's fifth from the bottom that time span.

329
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: The only teams that have a lower pass play percentage

330
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: than them during the last three weeks Jacksonville, Pittsburgh, Dallas

331
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 1: in Chicago. That's unbelievable for for a New Orleans team,

332
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: like you mentioned, and I think it has been a

333
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: fundamental shift because their their offensive line all year has

334
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: been has been really good. We talked about that next

335
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: gent stats run blocking stat last week. They've been top

336
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: five in that category pretty much throughout the entire season.

337
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: Removing Adrian Peterson has given the run game more rhythm. Uh.

338
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: And not to mention, I mean they're they're winning games.

339
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: You always you don't. You don't run to win in

340
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: the NFL. You win to run, and that's what the

341
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: Saints are doing right now, and their defense is better.

342
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: As Franchise said, So I think this is a fundamental

343
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: shift and we have to adjust expectations accordingly. Not only

344
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: does Michael Thomas maybe we have not seen like a

345
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: real true ceiling game from him. Um, I think it

346
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: will take ye have well, I mean, if like what

347
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: you would have expected, you've not You've not seen that

348
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: sort of spike weak and it might take like a

349
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: true shootout for that to happen. But that's that's not

350
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: really just not what the hashtag on pace. Five and

351
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: sixty six pass attempts. That would be his lowest total

352
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: in a in a season where he played all sixteen games.

353
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: There are a couple of where he rested since like

354
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: two thousand seven. They're just more balanced overall, and you

355
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: can start both of these running backs every week, their

356
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks pushing forty and this is what a lot of

357
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: teams want to do. It made sense when they I mean,

358
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 1: like the signing of Adrian Peterson didn't make sense, but

359
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: it was clear an indication that, like, we want to

360
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: run the ball more and protect Drew Brees. Then by

361
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: getting Adrian Peterson, out they were able to accomplish that

362
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,679
Speaker 1: even better. But yeah, I mean it's just this is

363
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: a case where we just can't. You also can't go

364
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: to those other wide receivers. It's like Michael Thomas, maybe

365
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: Ted Ginn or get out the passing game. What do

366
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: you do with Michael Thomas. I think he's still got

367
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: a lot of name value out there. I think a

368
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,199
Speaker 1: lot of folks are thinking, you know, anticipating maybe some

369
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: kind of second half turnaround. Um, I don't know when

370
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: I when I kind of look at what the Stants

371
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: are getting done offensively right now, and you look a

372
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: look at that run in past percentages, I guess I'm

373
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: just not that hopeful that Michael Thomas will see a

374
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: big turnaround. Problem is like he's so safe and he

375
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: hasn't really been disappointing. I mean, he has had eight

376
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: or more targets in every single game this year. The

377
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: only time he hasn't was that weird game against the

378
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: Lions where they catch eleven yard right where they exactly

379
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 1: where they the offense barely possessed the ball because the

380
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: defense was scoring and etcetera, etcetera. Was like, Yeah, you're right,

381
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: he's not a big ceiling player. But he's just such

382
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: a safe, secure asset. That's like, what you know, what

383
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: do you mean his last his last six games have

384
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: been eighty nine eight seven in touch, eighty nine in

385
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: a touch, eight two seventy seven. Like that's that's very

386
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: very consistent. And if he can get into the end

387
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: zone as the number one right receiver, like you're you're

388
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: in good shape. I'm I'm not panicking on him. I'm

389
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: not trying to ship ship him off or anything like that.

390
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: That's much more consistent wide receiver play than we're getting

391
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: from a lot of guys across the league, especially in

392
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: a standard format. Very good point. I've seen a lot

393
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: of trade offers too, because I have Alvin Kamara in

394
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: a lot of different spots, seeing a lot of trade

395
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: offers come in for Alvin Kamara. If you were going

396
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: to sell Alvin Kamara, are you treating him as a

397
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: as an RB two, as an RB you know, a

398
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: low end low you know, maybe top fifteen running back

399
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,119
Speaker 1: moving forward and PPR. How are you valuing Alvin Kamara?

400
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: And is this an asset that you would even consider

401
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: giving up? No, I don't know. I'm not trading him away.

402
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: He's like a high end flex low end RB two

403
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: for me, because mark Ingram is the workhorse there and

404
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: Camara right, and he's getting enough work to be a

405
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: weekly starter. But those two fumbles, though, I'm like, oh yeah, interesting,

406
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: but they're also like the snap count has been close

407
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 1: to fifty fifty the last couple of weeks since Adrian

408
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 1: Peterson has been gone, but mark Ingram has still been

409
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: the bell cow. He's still getting a tunnel volume. And

410
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: Kamar has produced like, you know, high end flex numbers.

411
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the running back seventeen in PPR right now.

412
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: The last three weeks in standard Leazi has eight point seven,

413
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: ten point seven, thirteen point six points. So that's that's fine,

414
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: that's you're not high end flex low end RB two.

415
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't want to get crazy about it yet.

416
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I feel I feel very optimistic

417
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,960
Speaker 1: about Alvin Kamara. I mean especially again because you know,

418
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: I hate to highlight the mark Ingram two fumbles, but

419
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: um do you hate it? Though? Probably not? Wait a minute,

420
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: of course, I wonder James Pounding is so hard he

421
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: had to find mark Ingram. Wow, your true colors are

422
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: showing again hatred from mark Ingram can just never go away.

423
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: Four years now, you guys got we were all James's deathbed.

424
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna be like, mark Ingram is gonna be like, damn,

425
00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: what are your last word? She's like, that's it, That's

426
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: all you have for me. Unbelievable, That's ridiculous. I'll just

427
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: go on record and say I think Alvin Kamara could

428
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: be the best back by the end of the year

429
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: in the Sains back field prediction ever. But no way, don't. Don't.

430
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: He's entrapping you. Franchise. Oh my god, get out of here. James.

431
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: I and a rap reports is Sam Bradford not close

432
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: to returning and quote the expectation now is Teddy Bridgewater

433
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: is healthy enough to return to the team and on

434
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: the field after the bye week. He continues by saying,

435
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 1: if that happens, expect him. We're talking about Teddy Bridgewater

436
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: to be activated off the pup list and then compete

437
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,360
Speaker 1: for the starting jump. I mean, all right, I don't

438
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: know how much there is to say there, but Teddy

439
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: Bridgewater comes back. I don't know how to feel about

440
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: guys like Stefon Diggs and Adam feeling we haven't seen

441
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater play. And not only that, but also Teddy

442
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: Bridgewater remember when he when he was playing, he did

443
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: not go deep very often, you know what I mean.

444
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: He was not known as a very good downfield throw

445
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: or even going back to his college day. So um,

446
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: the thing is he was right before he got injured,

447
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: that offense was shifting, it was hitting its next stride.

448
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: There were all there were articles like Stephan Diggs, you

449
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: were using him deep more. We're seeing flashes of it

450
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: in the preseason, like that offense look like it was

451
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: ready to go. Teddy was showing touch, he had great

452
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: deep passes, and then I think he I think he's

453
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,239
Speaker 1: a much better quarterback than case Keenum Case has been.

454
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,479
Speaker 1: He's been a great backup. I think. I think if

455
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: Teddy comes back and is full, is healthy enough to

456
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: play and looks close to the Teddy that we saw

457
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: right before his injury, this is good news for Diggs

458
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 1: and Finland. Well. Look and it just it sounds like

459
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: they want him to be that guy. I mean rap.

460
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: She said that they still view him as their franchise quarterback.

461
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 1: Zimmer said after the game, I quote, I hope I

462
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,120
Speaker 1: have a decision to make Case has done an unbelt job.

463
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 1: We'll figure it out as we go. Okay, there you go.

464
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: But I mean, like case Case Keenum has been has

465
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 1: been fine, but his his less sick games two touchdowns,

466
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 1: one pick, oh youero touchdowns, one pick one and one

467
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: one touchdown note picks zero touchdown, zero picks, like he's

468
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: been J McKinnon. He's keeping the offense float. But I mean, like, yeah,

469
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: it's he hasn't been like unlocking the potential that we

470
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: saw with this passing offense and Sam Bradford's game in

471
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: Week one or that or that flat Tampa Bay game,

472
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay game. But everybody's getting over on Tampa

473
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 1: Bay so indeed except Carolina for some reason. I know

474
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,400
Speaker 1: the reason. Chicago Chugago ted and Zach Miller because mark

475
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: Ingram fumbled, Wasn't it what exactly what I was thinking?

476
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: Chicago ted and Zach Miller suffered a gruesome looking injury,

477
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: uh dislocated knee. I guess it tore an artery in there.

478
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: They're there right now. They are working to save the leg,

479
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 1: which is a total bomber. But um, I just wanted

480
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: to get that news out there, and obviously, UM we

481
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: wish Zach Miller the absolute best. How was that not

482
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown? Just? I mean, come out it does It

483
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: was America's favorite. Same show, what is okay? Terrible? It's

484
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: my least favorite. It's the worst. For the record, that's

485
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: I'm being completely facetious every time I said, all right,

486
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,120
Speaker 1: let's hit the waiver wire, shall we? NFL dot com

487
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: slash waiver wire. It's the Alex gilhard piece. Give me

488
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: run through a few names here, no surprise, Alex Collins

489
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: tops the waiver wire. But we've talked about him a

490
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: bunch because he has looked far and away the better

491
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: runner in that backfield. But he was playing like pent

492
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: of the snaps he would like come in for. He

493
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: would come in for like fifteen plays, carry the ball

494
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: on eleven of those plays, and then get yanked for

495
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: Javorious Allen for like the rest of the game. But

496
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 1: they were can't do that moving forward. There's no word.

497
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: He was averaging like six yards of carry or something

498
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: crazy coming into this game, and then he delivered a

499
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: masterful performance. Again, Buck Allen fumbled at the goal line,

500
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: like this has to be Alex Collins forward, It has

501
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: to be been. He's been like picked up and dropped

502
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: a ton because people like like this is this is

503
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: gonna be his week. He's gonna take over much of

504
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: Joe Mix and weeks never happened. Now he should be

505
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: taking over. Uh, you gotta go out and at him.

506
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna he might be the last like game changing

507
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: waiver wire ad we get this year because we're we're

508
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: reaching the point where there aren't going to be more

509
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: of those guys emerging like nor they're going to have

510
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: time for them to be game changing ads. So like

511
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: if you have a high priority in the waiver wire

512
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: or a bunch of fob to burn, spend it. Jamal

513
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: Charles hasn't played yet as of the taping, but there

514
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: was rumors that he could get more carries and uh,

515
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: I think he's a sneaky ad this week. Uh even

516
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 1: if he doesn't get a bunch of carries this week

517
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: in his revenge game, like that backfield needs a spark

518
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: And I've got a potential Hall of Famer there who

519
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: could who has yet to see double digit touches in

520
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: a game, Like give him the ball Man, a couple

521
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: other guys, Sterling Shepard, don't forget to look for him.

522
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: On the waiver wire that because he was about drop

523
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,159
Speaker 1: a lot, he was about to come back before the

524
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: bye had a minor setback. Now he's fully healed up,

525
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: he says he's good to go. And we were talking

526
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: about this in the Stronghold yesterday, like if he doesn't

527
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: come back and see like ten twelve targets a game,

528
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 1: it's it's an upset. Because here's here's the stat for you.

529
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: In the two games since the rapture hit, the Giants

530
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 1: receiving horror in Week five, so so across across two

531
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: weeks and twenty minutes of football, the Giants wide receivers

532
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: have combined combined seven catches for sixty seven yards. God

533
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: two NFL games, three wide receivers have combined for seven

534
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: catches for six or seven yards. Because Evan Ingram well

535
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: and and that it's just I mean, it's guys, it's

536
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: Roger Lewis, it's but I mean, Evan Ingram is getting

537
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: all the guys that were like called of from the

538
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: practice squad and stuff, but out of necessity. But Stone

539
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: Shepherd's going to come into a huge workload. And then

540
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 1: I'm only I'm only a minor biblical expert but I blind.

541
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: I believe the I do actually have a minor in

542
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: religious studies. Oh my goodness, we'll save it for the

543
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: religion pod. But anyways, I think the raps are supposed

544
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 1: to be a positive experience. And I don't know if

545
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: losing your top four receivers in one game counsels Well,

546
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: it was they and then they, I mean they, I

547
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: don't know where they went. We're getting lost in the

548
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: new hit one player semantics. Let me hit two players

549
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: him and can move on. Uh, rather quietly. Robbie Anderson

550
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: came into Week eight leading the Jets and targets and

551
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: receiving yards and uh, he had a nice hundred yard

552
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: and a touchdown game against the Falcons on my bench

553
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: in the Fancy Live League. Uh, and he's had fifty nine.

554
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: Can we talk about how many buzz saws are gonna

555
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: run into in that league? I mean, you ran into

556
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: my team this week that got a thirty spot from

557
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle in a thirty sum hot spot from Juju Saya.

558
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: Crowell has done nothing all year, and then when he

559
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: plays my team in the Fantasy Live League, he goes off,

560
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: how many buzz saws are you going to run into? First,

561
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: my team this week, Okay, I see what you did.

562
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: There's My team's a buzz saw. It's really, it's really

563
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: what did My team is trashed because I am depending

564
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: on thirty spots from Juju Smith Schuster. Well, he called

565
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: the shot. We'll talk about franchise. We were doing a

566
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: segment and James like, yeah, you should mash me looking

567
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:05,679
Speaker 1: up good your team and he's like, I'm starting Juju

568
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: over l It's the same. But anyways, So Robbie Anderson

569
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: has had fifty nine plus yards and or a touchdown

570
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: in five of his last six games. He's got a

571
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: sneaky starter. I mean, it's a tough matchup this week

572
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: because they got the Bills, but the Bills have allowed

573
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 1: three consecutive three hundred yard passers, so Robby Anderson could

574
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: be in the mix. And then uh, a couple of

575
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: streaming options this week, tight end and quarterback. Let's go

576
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 1: to Let's go to Harmon's Los Angeles Rams. So we've

577
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,959
Speaker 1: talked about this the Giants where defense we've feared coming in,

578
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: but they've now let the three of the last four

579
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to face them have gone for two and fifty

580
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: plus yards and three touchdowns three of four quarterbacks. The

581
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: last four quarterbacks to face the Giants have tossed three

582
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: scores and uh as for the Giants and Tyler Higbee,

583
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: he's leading the Rams in playing time at tight end

584
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: with and targets. He's at twenty seven. In Week eight

585
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: was the first week this season where the Giants didn't

586
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: allow a touchdown to a tight end because they were

587
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 1: on their by literally every other week. I see what

588
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: you did there a touchdown or multiple time. I was

589
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: just about saying, at least one I heard. I heard

590
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: a tight endbroken to their facility and stole the ball

591
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,479
Speaker 1: and ran onto the end zone of the practice field.

592
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, the whole thing com waiver wire. Can I

593
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: add one more? And I think this is this is

594
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: more of a deep um, you know, kind of a

595
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 1: sneakier play. How about Greg Olsen, He's getting closer and

596
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: closer to coming back, And if you have the space,

597
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: do we know his timetable yet? I don't know. I

598
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: guess there the anticipation was that he would start practicing

599
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: relatively soon here. And I say relatively, I mean it

600
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: could be two weeks um, So I don't know, But um,

601
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: I wonder how much he was drop, Well I was,

602
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 1: I say a lot, but his because whence he off

603
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: the pup. He's off the pup next week. At least

604
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: he's at least eligible to come off the pup next week.

605
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, at least check on his status,

606
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: see what's going on there to be a nice dash

607
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: if you're on a plate going on a playoff run

608
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: or one right now, yeah, right, you know what I mean,

609
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: and you just and you need a little tight it

610
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: well first five but needs tight in play. But yeah,

611
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not eligible to return to game action

612
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: until week twelve. Yeah, we um owned in you know

613
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: for that meaningless for our um. We're real quick though,

614
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: I guess. Well, we're on the topic of injury guys.

615
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: To pick us Corey Davis this week could finally be returning,

616
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: uh for the first time since Week two from his

617
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 1: hamstring and the desperately they definitely needed. And what's crazy

618
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: He went back and looked a Week one game. He

619
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 1: saw ten targets. It was like twenty five percent of

620
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: Mariota's targets fixty nine receiving yard. Very nice. Uh yeah,

621
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: I mean it's certainly somebody needs to use surp who

622
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: must not be named in that passing attack. Yeah, we

623
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: don't need to talk about let me talk about that.

624
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: We named him. We don't need to talk about that

625
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 1: man named him. Alright, right, let's talk about your top

626
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: performers four week eight at the quarterback position. Russell Wilson

627
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: four fifty two passing, four touchdowns, one interception, thirty yards

628
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: rushing as well, we talked about Deshaun watson amazing performance,

629
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton sneaking into the top five to forty three

630
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: through the air versus the Colts through in two touchdowns

631
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: as well. It was kind of a weird week for

632
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks because if you had Russell Wilson or Deshaun Watson, cool,

633
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: If not, it was there were eight quarterbacks within three

634
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: points of each other, uh, anywhere between fifteen point seven

635
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: five points and eighteen point seven five points. So there

636
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: was a lot of very close quarterback scoring throughout the

637
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: league this week. At the wide receiver position, New Copkins,

638
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean, what can you say, man career day? My word?

639
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: Eight targets, excuse me, ten targets, eight receptions, two and

640
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: twenty four yards receiving, and a touchdown as well. I

641
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: mean that's seventy yard one that he just absolutely ripped

642
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: up the Seattle Seahawks and took it to the house.

643
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: By the way, I love that they're finally using him

644
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 1: on like wide receiver screens because he was good at

645
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: those at Clemson, but then he came to the offense

646
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: like we'll throw that out of the playbook. But now

647
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: they got their younger quarterback, they're like, oh, let's get

648
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: this little Clemson connection going again. We'll do the same

649
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver screens. And he's doing really well on him,

650
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: you can. I really like the versatility of the routes

651
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: that they got him running to. I mean shallow crosses,

652
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: deep crosses. You could see like the satisfaction on his

653
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: face too, like he's finally like after struggling through last year,

654
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 1: Like he's like, yeah, also to have a quarterback played

655
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: with like eighteen quarterbacks years, so for him to have

656
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: this situation now his face after that long catching run

657
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: was great. Thus he just took his helmet off and

658
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: was just like that's right, yes, yeah, that's in his glory.

659
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm a total badass. And it was just like it

660
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: was satisfaction that he was able to produce and then

661
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: he had somebody that could help him produce. It's just

662
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: like just so much was in his face then it

663
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: was so awesome. Will full Or eight targets, five receptions

664
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Anderson as you mentioned, six for six

665
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: and four and a touchdown. Adam feeling finally in the

666
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: end zone end zone. Not efficient five of ten, but

667
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: ninety eight yards and a touchdown four him. Can we

668
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: talk about Paul Richardson. I was gonna say, let's let's

669
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 1: talk about Paul rich one of pritch Yes, sounds almost

670
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: like it should be bleeped. We'll just go with p

671
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: rich I think that I think we're gonna go with

672
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: rich Yeah, pritchards he preferred nomenclature here, uh one oh

673
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: five one oh five receiving two touchdowns for for pritch Man.

674
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, it's kind of weird. He's kind of developed

675
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: into this, Like I don't want to say go to receiver,

676
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: but certainly one that's relied on in this passing attack. Well,

677
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: I tweeted yesterday that, like, I feel like every one

678
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: of Paul Richardson's catches are like an eight and a

679
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: half out of ten on the degree of difficulty scale.

680
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: Always spectacular contested catches, leaping in the air, guys draped

681
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: all over dating back to last year to yeah oh

682
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: yeah season playoff run. Remember he had the one touchdown

683
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: catch against the Lions. And if you talk to people

684
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: like you know, like Matt Walman that really liked him

685
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: coming out of college, that was what they really liked

686
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: about him, was that even despite the fact he's like

687
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: a kind of a thin receiver, he's like, he's very

688
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: slight in contested situations. He's obviously and which is great

689
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 1: to see because he's a guy who's ripped up his

690
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: A C. L a number of times and probably doesn't

691
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: have that same speed he did back in Colorado was

692
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: a college prospect. But he looks really good. Tyler Lock,

693
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: it looks good to this whole passing offense is kind

694
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 1: of coming together. Um and the Seahawks upcoming schedule, they

695
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: get Washington in Seattle, then they go to Arizona, then

696
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: they play Atlanta at home. Uh, then they get to

697
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: forty Niners the Eagles before running into the Jaguars. Like

698
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: all of those games, I will be considering starting these,

699
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 1: you know, number of these kind of secondary and I

700
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: mean maybe they're not even secondary. Receivers there anymore in Lockett,

701
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: uh and Richardson in this Seattle offense, that's absolutely cooking, right,

702
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 1: And I mean when Russell Wilson's thrown for four two

703
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: yards and four touchdowns and running backs combined for five

704
00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: rushing yards in a game, Yeah, it's kind of crazy.

705
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: I was the wide receiver is gonna lock it? Had six?

706
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: Is right? Yeah? It was. It was ripping through them

707
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: and lock it to Like I noted this in Targets

708
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: and touches like he is. He's running more routes from

709
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 1: the slot this year at about just over fifty. He's

710
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: splitting time. And especially because they're spreading the fields so much,

711
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: as like Franchise said, they cannot run the ball at all.

712
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: Uh he crazy stat from yesterday, what was their rushing

713
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: to the running backs combined for five rushing yards on

714
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: twelve carries? Amazing? Yeah, I was, Russell Wilson had thirty.

715
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: There are some teams in the NFL right now, them

716
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: the Bengals like that just can't run the ball at all.

717
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: And like, honestly, she just shouldn't even bother trying, like

718
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: just go up tempo, throw it to your running backs.

719
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: The only guy the Seahawks have that could do that

720
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: is really C. J. Prost was really injurious and J. D. Mckissic,

721
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: and I mean, obviously the Bengals up Joe Mixing, but

722
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: just don't even bother round the ball real quick. McKissick

723
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: four for six, Lacey six for zero was the second

724
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: best running back on the team because Thomas Rawls went

725
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: six for negative one. It's like a nightmare. But they

726
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: they have no chance. As soon as they're getting the ball,

727
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,399
Speaker 1: defenders are on them. There's no they have no chance

728
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: to even look or make a cut. There were a

729
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: few times where I thought Texans defenders had a better

730
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: chance of taking the handoff than yeah. Yeah, it's terrible.

731
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: Let me also talk about al Sean Jeffrey, so sixt

732
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: or two yards in a touchdown um and and I

733
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: think a lot of folks might say, Okay, I wonder

734
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: if al Shan is back. I wonder if al Sean,

735
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: if this is the Al Sean that we're gonna get

736
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: six or two yards in a touchdown for al Sean Jeffrey.

737
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,959
Speaker 1: But then I when you kind of take a little

738
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: bit of a deeper look, and when you watch that game,

739
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: it didn't really feel like he was back catches, two catches,

740
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: the great touchdown where he lost the guy, oh my god,

741
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,320
Speaker 1: crumbled into the end zone. That was beautiful, But um,

742
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: two targets or two receptions on eight targets not great efficiency.

743
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: So UM, I guess I'd like to know what you

744
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: guys thought about al Shan's performance. To answer your question, Yes,

745
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: I think this is the al Shan you're going to

746
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: get all year because he's gonna to be an up

747
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: and down producer that needs to produce a big player

748
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: to to return fantasy value. Because he's getting you know,

749
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,920
Speaker 1: pretty decent raw target numbers, but definitely not at the

750
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: level of like a funnel receiver. It's just real quick

751
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: to put some some numbers to those. He's second on

752
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: the team with sixty two. He's got a twenty three

753
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: point five percent market share, but it's pretty good. He

754
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: only has caught twenty eight of his sixty two targets.

755
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: Catch right, because that's horrific because he's getting a bunch

756
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: of percentage deep deep targets, low percentage targets like he's

757
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,479
Speaker 1: getting those deep down the sideline looks where zach Ertz

758
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 1: is obviously running up and down the middle. Nelson Aglar's

759
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: running out of the slot, like those are the guys

760
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,000
Speaker 1: that get the high percentage. Looks al Sean deep down

761
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: the field and he's kind of like a like almost

762
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: like a Mark vintage Martavis Bryant without the same ceiling

763
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: sort of player, because he's just gonna be super volatile.

764
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, absolutely, he has the potential to go to

765
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: for sixty two and a touch or even four for

766
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: seventy one is he did again to the Panthers on

767
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 1: Thursday night. But he can easily drop a three for

768
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 1: thirty one as he has a a two for thirty

769
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: seven in your lineup to that's this is the guy

770
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: that you're dealing with the rest of the year, al right.

771
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: At the running back position. Top performers here Shade McCoy

772
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: twenty seven carries a hundred fifty one yards on the ground,

773
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown, twenty two receiving yards as well, So uh

774
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: one seventy three total for Shady McCoy and bashdown. Yeah, dude,

775
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: he's he looked good. He usually Jerick McKinnon fourteen carries

776
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: for fifty had a touchdown as well as six receptions

777
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: for seventy two yards as well as a random two

778
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: point conversion. It all adds up to like twenty five

779
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: or twenty six PPR points. But he was very very

780
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: good for you in PPR. Melvin Gordon fourteen carries one

781
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: thirty two on the ground, that touchdown run Holy hell yeah,

782
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, just get after it, Melvin Gordon. How

783
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: about Zeke Elliott thirty three carries for him a buck

784
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: forty nine on the ground, two touchdowns for Zeke Elliott.

785
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: He is let it. I mean the Washington here's thing.

786
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 1: The Washington defense is actually pretty they're good run defense.

787
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting is uh z Like remember at

788
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, there were some like chubby

789
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 1: Zeke photos thing like because he always his shirt rolled

790
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: up and like it was a little heavier, and I

791
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: saw I think I read about it, heard it on

792
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: a podcast where like Zeke and even admitted he came

793
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 1: into his rookie season a little lot of shape, and

794
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: I think he came into this one a little lot

795
00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: of shape. But now with seven eight weeks of conditioning,

796
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: game action and conditioning, he's cut back down and into

797
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: like dominant Zeke mode. But we'll find out this week

798
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: how much how many more games he's gonna be Yeah,

799
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: if this was the last we see of Zeke Elliott

800
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: first six games, he left two two pretty good, two

801
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: pretty good performances on the field. It is worth noting Washington,

802
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: what's the ruling coming down today? I think is when

803
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: this is what I'm supposed to say, I have no idea. Alright,

804
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 1: he's the average A hundred and thirty seven a hundred

805
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: thirty seven rusyards over the last three games, with five

806
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: touchdowns in that span. That's pretty good. Yeah, that's uh

807
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: five total touch that elite. Yes, insane, He's just he's

808
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 1: just insane. Is a cyborg. I want to go that far.

809
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 1: Let's get to tight ends plays. Jimmy Graham four receptions

810
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 1: thirty nine yards to touchdown. Second one was just so unnecessary.

811
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 1: He's like, go ahead and dreaming, guys. Jack Doyle, how

812
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: about this line? Fourteen targets? Yeah, how about it against me? Doyle?

813
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: Twelve receptions a hundred twenty one yards and a touchdown

814
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: for Jack Doyle, A thirty spot For those of you

815
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: in PPR league. No nobody cares about our fantasy teams,

816
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: but James got sixty two points. Four points against me

817
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: from Juju and Jack Doyle. Do you feel attacked? I

818
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: feel attacked. This is why I'm won in six in

819
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 1: that league because dumb stuff like this keeps happening about

820
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: to be one of seven. Alright, Rob Gronkowski five fifty

821
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: seven yards in a touchdown, Austin Hooper four of six

822
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: forty seven yards and a touchdown as well, and zach

823
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: Ertz continues to pour it on with those touchdowns. Man

824
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: thirty four yards in a touchdown for Zachariah Art's alright,

825
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: let's talk about your biggest disappointments at the quarterback position.

826
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: We will go to Matt Harmon here, Cam Newton versus

827
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay eight team of thirty two passing which is

828
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: poor and then a hundred fifty four yards passing which

829
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: is poor, forty four rush yards touchdown as well, and

830
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: had an interception. But the forty four rush yards helped,

831
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, float his value a bit. But uh, Cam

832
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: Newton did not look good. And it's been the second

833
00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: week in a row. Uh the camp has really I

834
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,479
Speaker 1: guess maybe even the third week is this second week

835
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: that kind of three weeks ago. He had a bad

836
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: box score, but still good fantasy forms. Yeah, okay there.

837
00:41:46,600 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: What was your takeaways there? Man? Harmon? Oh god, well

838
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: here's the thing again. Tweeting with a few Panthers fans

839
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: this morning talking about this because I was mentioning on

840
00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: Twitter that what I was saying earlier about the like

841
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: if you can't run the ball, just just thirty your

842
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: running backs, like, don't even bother trying. And they were saying, well,

843
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 1: it's Carolina one of those teams that said, the problem

844
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: is I think you need a good quarterback to uh

845
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,960
Speaker 1: do that, And right now, the Panthers do not have

846
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. Cam Newton has been legit dreadful the

847
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,879
Speaker 1: last three games. Not to mention like everything that's going

848
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: on around him in the past, the game is bad.

849
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: Like if they tried to do that situation, I mean

850
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: we we saw when he had to throw fifty plus

851
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: passes against the Eagles on that Thursday eight game. They

852
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 1: just sent waves and waves and waves of pressure because

853
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,080
Speaker 1: they have a bad pass protection offensive line in addition

854
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: to a bad run blocking offensive line. This is just

855
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: it's a it's a broken offense right now. They I

856
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: don't know what the answer is for them, And like,

857
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: unless Cam goes, you know totally, you know, Neon and

858
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 1: and lights it up again like he did in that

859
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: two game stretch against the Patriots and the Lions. Then

860
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: I think this is just a just a real broken offense.

861
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Devin Funches is still seeing really good volume

862
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: but not doing anything with it. Yeah, he's kind of

863
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: back to not being a very good player. Kelvin Benjamin

864
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: is playing all right, uh through this dreadful stretch of offense.

865
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: But other than that, like none of their none of

866
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: offensive players are playing well. And it starts with the

867
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 1: quarterback who has been just honestly just not like obnoxiously bad.

868
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: You know, I've uh, I saw a really good piece

869
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: um about the Carolina offense on the four Letter, but uh,

870
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: they did a good job breaking down you know, does

871
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: this does this offense lacking identity? You know, because in

872
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 1: years previous, we're talking about a unit that was all right, man,

873
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 1: we are just gonna mash up front and go power

874
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 1: and run and run with authority. Now they're trying to

875
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 1: mix in Christian McCaffrey and yeah, they got this great weapon,

876
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:36,919
Speaker 1: but they're not exactly sure how to use them because

877
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 1: they're trying to go a little bit more spread, So

878
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: they've kind of lost that identity of going from like

879
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: a power run team to being some weird, you know,

880
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,759
Speaker 1: conglomeration of a power run team mixed in with like

881
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, spread concepts as well, and and it just

882
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: seems like they're a little bit lost. I don't know,

883
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: because I think McCaffrey showed well as like being able

884
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: to run in a power scheme at Stanford. Just I

885
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: just think they can't run block. I don't know that

886
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 1: it's so much of an identity issue. I just think

887
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: I just think they can't run blocking because they then

888
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: can't run the ball. Their quarterback is just not good

889
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: enough player right now to to elevate that offense. I

890
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: don't know that it's some grand crisis of identity. I

891
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: think they just they're just not getting like they're just

892
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: not executing. They're just not doing the job. I don't

893
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: think it's anything with like a lack of creativity or

894
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:26,959
Speaker 1: anything like that. And Cam like taking like fifty yard

895
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,919
Speaker 1: deep shots on you know, third and third in less

896
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: than ten Give me a break, man, Like, what are

897
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 1: you doing. You're not gonna move like, you're not gonna

898
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: move the ball that way. You're not like what just

899
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: again that that was my my thought watching Cam Newton

900
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 1: yesterday against the Bucks was just like, what what the

901
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: hell are you doing? On a number of times, and

902
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: I feel like I've said that about Cam Newton all

903
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,240
Speaker 1: years and again it's Tampa Bay, which is a defense

904
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: that had just been picked on in recent weeks. So

905
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: there you go, not a good defense. Drew Brees a

906
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: disappointment as well. The next two guys is funny disappointments

907
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: in fantasy but good real life games. I thought Drew

908
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: Brees ver Chicago was very good. Eight you talk a

909
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: out efficiency, two passing yards but no touchdowns, which is

910
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: why he ends up on this disappointment. That offensive offense changing,

911
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 1: as we talked about, like it's no longer the Drew

912
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: Brees at home like said it and forget it because

913
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: they're right running the offense through the ground game. Dak

914
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: Prescott also a bad fantasy day, but again I thought

915
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: he actually ran a very very good, solid real life

916
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: game but only chipped in with a hundred three passing

917
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: yards worth noting that game was in a torrential downpour

918
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: and they were just kind of like Zeke, you're you're

919
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: you're heating up just three cars. I think it was

920
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: a career high for him. They said on the broadcast. Uh,

921
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: Devonte Freeman twelve carries, forty one yards, twenty receiving yards

922
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: as well. A relative disappointment there for Devon sark out here. Man,

923
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 1: I know, dude, I mean, I just don't. Tevin Coleman

924
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: ripped off a long run and now it looks like

925
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: in the box score he had the better day, but

926
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: Freeman was running really well. Agree. There was a report

927
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 1: from Vaughan McClure of ESPN that Freeman suffered a minor

928
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,280
Speaker 1: shoulder injury during the game. It was getting checked out

929
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,080
Speaker 1: on a sideline, and so that might be why we

930
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: saw Tevin Coleman had volume. But Freeman has been averaging

931
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,120
Speaker 1: six point six yards per carry in the two previous games,

932
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: and they're just a hundred forty yards one attempts and

933
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: Coleman's had three point two yards per carry, and Freeman's

934
00:46:14,880 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: workload just continues to diminish, and it's like so mysterious.

935
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't get I don't know what's going on. I

936
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 1: don't get it. J A g I thirteen carries, twenty

937
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: three rush yards. It's gonna happen when you get blown out.

938
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: That's not good. He had forty one total yards, zero touchdowns.

939
00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: He had. Oh, by the way, he's zero touchdowns on

940
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, j zero touchdowns on the season. Wow. Um,

941
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: let's talk about wide receiver disappointments. And I put it

942
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: in literally everyone. I mean, what a weird week, What

943
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: a weird week. There were a lot of games that

944
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: were pummeled in rain, so I think some teams by

945
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: design took the air out of the ball and wind

946
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: and such like that. But it was also just a

947
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: weird week. These happened. Mike Evans, Julio Jones, Des Ryan,

948
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, Keenan Allen in a prime spot against New England.

949
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: All of them scored in single digits for your fantasy team. Well,

950
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's the the real interesting one because he hasn't

951
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,839
Speaker 1: crossed I think seventy yards receiving since a big blow

952
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: up game against the Eagles. I believe in Week four

953
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 1: I brought about the targets touches. Can't remember it off

954
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 1: the top of my head right now, but uh, he

955
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: also his targets have gone down each game since that

956
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: Week four blow up. I feel like, we've seen more

957
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin in that offense. Yeah, he was like this strangely, Yeah,

958
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: he was like the guy on that despite his big

959
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: mistake on the punt return, he was like the guy

960
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: on that on that drive to try to win the game.

961
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: They're late at the enemy, rivers kept looking for him,

962
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 1: and to Benjamin's credit, he responded, he played pretty well

963
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: outside of that punt return. Um, And you know, we're

964
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: seeing more Mike Williams on the field. That might be

965
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 1: a potential reason why he's seeing a little slight downticking targets.

966
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: So I don't know what to do with Keenan Allen

967
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: right now. Another disaployment the Mossy Special this week was

968
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 1: following his two and two touchdown performance, Amari Cooper would

969
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 1: have less than fifty yards receiving and no touchdowns. That

970
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: was the Mossy Special. Marie Cooper five receptions forty eight

971
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: yards receiving. The Mossy Special was Russell Wilson and Deshaun

972
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: Watson would have the only rushing touchdowns for the Oh

973
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: what was that was just factor fiction? Just a random

974
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 1: factor fiction, right, Okay, there you go, all right. Stefon

975
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: Diggs four of six twenty seven yards for Stefon Dig.

976
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: So oh, everyone in Minnesota scored except Stefon Digs, Udolph

977
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:41,360
Speaker 1: Adamland and Jack McKenna. There you go. Um at that

978
00:48:41,600 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 1: end position. Jordan Reid got hurt? What catch five yards?

979
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,799
Speaker 1: Shopstring injury? Yes, I know, Hunter Henry again in a

980
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: pretty good spot. Just two receptions on two targets total

981
00:48:51,560 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: had eleven yards. So that was a disappointment. Four Hunter Henry.

982
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to every damn game here. We'll

983
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: start in London, Minnesota taking on Cleveland. Now skalhard what

984
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: just see Brown's Nah didn't get to watch this game

985
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:06,359
Speaker 1: closely because we were doing Fantasy Live. But Latavious Murray

986
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: still saw a bunch of work. But the Brown's run

987
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: defense is still very, very good. They did shut down

988
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: McKinnon like kind of on the ground as well. He

989
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: did his made his hate through the passing game. But

990
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: Murray's Murray's not going away. You know, if you picked

991
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: him up, don't drop him. They'll have better, more favorable

992
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 1: game scripts coming up, and then we know what the

993
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: passing game is. Isanah crow L bro Isaiah crow L

994
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: what adown of the year. I know how how funny

995
00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: was that too? By the way, No, Joe Thomas h

996
00:49:29,120 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: taking on a Minnesota you know Minnesota defense, that is

997
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,919
Speaker 1: just it's it's a lockdown defense. Doesn't make any sense

998
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: of Uh. And then Isaiah like I rips off a

999
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 1: thirty yard Yeah, it's awesome. Still Brown's nah yeah yeah. Uh.

1000
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: Indianapolis at Cincinnati, Matt Harmon, what did you see? This

1001
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: is the week for Joe Mixon? Except it really kind

1002
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 1: of wasn't He had eleven carries for eighteen whole rushing yards. Terrible. Uh,

1003
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: Mike Mike Clay did tweet out that on the season,

1004
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon has seventeen seventeen catches off seventeen targets and uh,

1005
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: one of my buddies, Hank Jones, a Jags fan, on

1006
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: Twitter quotes Wet said, yeah, almost as many rushing yards

1007
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: as he had against the Indianapolis Colts defense on Sunday.

1008
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: He did catch a long sixty seven yards screen screenpas

1009
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:17,879
Speaker 1: that he created a lot on his own and ran

1010
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: through the air on three targets. But just this's this

1011
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: not happening here, Like, it's just the run game is

1012
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,279
Speaker 1: not good. They absolutely should throw him the ball as

1013
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 1: much as possible, but it's just it's just not happening here.

1014
00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:32,120
Speaker 1: So just keep a moving. Caroline had taken on the

1015
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: Bucks Matt franchise. We talked about this game a little bit,

1016
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: but what else did you see? Yeah, we kind of

1017
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: hammered home the Panthers. Of course, the week we all

1018
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: give up on Jonathan Stewart, he falls into the end

1019
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: zone the first time. Don't don't chase, it's the run game.

1020
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: There's not good on the buck side, Evans. You mentioned

1021
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,839
Speaker 1: was a disappointment. Cameron brad remains a weekly starter at

1022
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 1: tight end. It was not a huge game for him.

1023
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,359
Speaker 1: He still had five targets, uh. And then Doug Martin

1024
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: had seventy one yards and eighteen carries in a tough matchup,

1025
00:50:57,440 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: which was somewhat expected. But the schedule opens up for

1026
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 1: him coming up. And then Jamis Winston like he just

1027
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: he just frustrates me so much. He makes stupid throws

1028
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: when he's getting tackled, and he like feels like he

1029
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: has to get rid of the ball, and it's just

1030
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: so it's so hard to watch. I don't know, and

1031
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: he's just he's not playing well. And this entire offense

1032
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: is suffering because of it. So, I mean that's just

1033
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 1: the most random thing, by the way, because he always

1034
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 1: does at least once a game. There's some kind of

1035
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:31,240
Speaker 1: bone headed thrower into what do just take the sack

1036
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,799
Speaker 1: and punt? Yeah, in a in a year where we're

1037
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: seeing Carson Wentz take a big step forward, We're seeing

1038
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,759
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson established himself, Dak Prescott, I think, maintain his

1039
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: elite play from last year. Jamis Winston is not getting

1040
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 1: even an ounce better, and he's got all these weapons

1041
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: and they're all suffering because but Mike Kevins hasn't had

1042
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: a hundred yard game this year, despite the fact that

1043
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 1: he's never seen less than eight targets in any game

1044
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: this year. But there's just no the ceiling is not

1045
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 1: there because their quarterback stinks, Right, Mike Kevins had a

1046
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: zero spot at halftime, right, zero? Yeah, he ended up

1047
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 1: with defense. That's worth noting. Oakland taken on the bills

1048
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: Alex gailhard would you see, uh Shade McCoy got it done.

1049
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: This Oakland offense is harmon mentioned is overrated if and

1050
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean this was predictable as well, with them coming

1051
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: off that huge emotional win then having to go all

1052
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: the way across the country for an early game against

1053
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 1: a good defense. I mean car put up volume in

1054
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: because I mean they were down by like two scores

1055
00:52:23,560 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: for pretty much this entire game. They were the Bills

1056
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: kept him at bay with their strong running game. Uh,

1057
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 1: there aren't really any pass catchers still to target from

1058
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: the Bills. Things. Tyrod can be started at home, but

1059
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: I mean we know what the Oakland offense is. We

1060
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,839
Speaker 1: can kind of trust crab Tree and Cooper now at

1061
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: this point, but like other than that, I don't want

1062
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,080
Speaker 1: to trust Cooper. I mean, he's had one good game

1063
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: he got he got volume again this game in like

1064
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 1: a tough spot, which was what was encouraging. So like

1065
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: he he came back. He obviously came down from his

1066
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: nineteen targets, but what did he have like eight or

1067
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: ten targets in this game? Like tent ten targets. I mean,

1068
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: he predictably again fell flat against a very good defense.

1069
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:03,040
Speaker 1: San Francisco at Philadelphia. Some news notes here. Safety Jimmy

1070
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 1: war broken arm, left tackle, Jill Staley broken orbital bone,

1071
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 1: which is your the bone around your eye. Pierre Garson

1072
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:16,240
Speaker 1: injured neck. I mean that's all on San Francisco side.

1073
00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: That's not their top tackle, in their top one receiver too.

1074
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: It's just that's bad. That's that's not great. Matt Harmon,

1075
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: what else you see? Yeah, for an offense in in

1076
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: San Francisco, that's just a nightmare. I mean, c J.

1077
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 1: Bethard's not been good. Uh, there's really nothing to talk

1078
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 1: about with the forty niners, especially if Carson is out

1079
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 1: on the eagle side. The one note I would want

1080
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 1: to say, it's like, don't this. I know Nelson Aglar

1081
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: was a disappointment. Three catches for twenty six yards, but

1082
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: he got those three targets right away in the first

1083
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: quarter to to really early than one late in the

1084
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: first quarter. It just never really had to go back

1085
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: to him because this they were just and that's just

1086
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 1: in his range of outcomes. I mean yeah, and he's,

1087
00:53:54,200 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: like I said, he they're in the funnel receivers on

1088
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: this team. He's not getting a ton of volumes. So

1089
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: these these you're right, you're absolutely good to point that

1090
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: out like these are in his range of outcomes, especially

1091
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: a game where the opposing team did not score until

1092
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: the third quarter. Uh, I think I think, look, Garrett

1093
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 1: blunt continues to get it done as well behind a

1094
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: very solid offensive line. Yeah, that's it's a it's a

1095
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 1: good point. I mean sixteen Carrey's not super efficient, only

1096
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: forty eight yards three yards per carry, but he did

1097
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: grab that touchdown. I mean, this was of all the

1098
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: games to play with a blunt, like against a bad

1099
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,720
Speaker 1: run defense, against a bad overall team where they should

1100
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: control it at home. Uh in some sloppy the first

1101
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: full game without Jason Peters though, it's worth that's true,

1102
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: and that's a big domino to be to lose from

1103
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: their offensive line, and I think I think it made

1104
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 1: a difference because watching the game, they were definitely sometimes

1105
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 1: where Carson Wentz was hurried a little more. This wasn't

1106
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 1: like a you know, he didn't He did not go

1107
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: god mode in this game as he has in his

1108
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: probus too. Very good point. All right, Dallas taken on

1109
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,200
Speaker 1: Washington in Washington met franchise. What did you see in

1110
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: this rainy game? Yeah, we talked about Zeke and dak Dez.

1111
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: I think that's four catches on six targets. A narrative

1112
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: on the broadcast that he was chirping from more work

1113
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,920
Speaker 1: and didn't get a ton of it. Yeah, um, and

1114
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,479
Speaker 1: Josh Norman wasn't covering him the whole game either. So

1115
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: on the Washington side of the ball, Chris Thompson was

1116
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: a PPR beast again, eight eight catches, seventy six yards.

1117
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 1: He had four carries for eighteen yards. The Washington offensive

1118
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: line has a ton of major injuries, so they were

1119
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: missing three starters in this game. And I think somebody

1120
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: else got injured too at one point. Yeah, I think

1121
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: you're correct. So Chris Thompson and Rob Kelly I think

1122
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: combined for something like thirty just over thirty rushing yards

1123
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: on twelve for thirty seven I'm looking at Yeah, Rob

1124
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: Kelly found the end zone early, but he still only

1125
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 1: had like seven or eight Fantasy points. And then Josh

1126
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,439
Speaker 1: Dockson played seventy nine percent of the snaps again, only

1127
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: had one catch which was a touchdown. Uh, and Terrell

1128
00:55:44,840 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 1: Terrell Prior played thirty three percent of the snap So

1129
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: I think this is a thing now because we've seen

1130
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 1: it two weeks in a row and it was a

1131
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder game. Twelve twelve catches Where did this come from?

1132
00:55:55,040 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: Nine catches, sorry, twelve targets, nine catches over hundred yards

1133
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 1: yards had a hund or forty nine yards coming into

1134
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 1: this game. It's just like every week is a different

1135
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 1: guy in this offense who goes off and you can't

1136
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: predict it. Now, Jordan reads out with an injury, so

1137
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,319
Speaker 1: babe Vernon Davis next. I think Nils Paul also got

1138
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: hurt in this game. He did concussion. It's just totally unpredictable.

1139
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,840
Speaker 1: The Falcons on the road, taken on the Jets, Alex

1140
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: galhar what did you see? Get Stark out of here?

1141
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: That's that's all I have to say. Mohammed Sanu is

1142
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: a sneaky like weekly flex play though he's He's had

1143
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: six plus targets in all of his healthy games. The

1144
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,280
Speaker 1: one he did not was when he suffered his hamstring

1145
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 1: injury and left the game. And he's had a couple

1146
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 1: of touchdowns and he's had a reasonable yardage floor. Julio

1147
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: Jones is like seventy yards a game, ish, like, what

1148
00:56:44,800 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 1: are we doing here? Austin Hooper, it was good to

1149
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: see him get it in the mix because previously, when

1150
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 1: Sanu was healthy, Hooper was an afterthought. His big blow

1151
00:56:51,840 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: up games had been when uh that well that freak

1152
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: play in Week one with the eighty eight yard touch down,

1153
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: but then otherwise when Sanu was out and then on

1154
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: the Jets, like I mean, for To had a decent

1155
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:03,919
Speaker 1: game as a pass catcher, but they're running backs didn't

1156
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:05,240
Speaker 1: do a whole hell of a lot. And we already

1157
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: talked about Robbie Anderson Ferry and Jenkins kind of disappointed

1158
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, but he's still a weekly starter. Tight

1159
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: end is a waste land. So bad Sunday night football.

1160
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: It is the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road, taken on

1161
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: the Detroit line. Not sure how many people in l

1162
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: A saw this game, but that's okay, Matt Harmon, what

1163
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 1: did you see? Well, I did watch it because I'm

1164
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: a professional, and not to mention, the World Series still

1165
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: went on like five more hours after that. I think

1166
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 1: I still got the gist. But anyways, the Lions red

1167
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: zone offense is just the most depressing asset I think

1168
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Because that might be an exaggeration, but look,

1169
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: they don't want to run a mirrorbdula around the goal line.

1170
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: I go, I get it in a mirror dula. Like

1171
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: once again in this game, several times did some things

1172
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: worthy announced, like what a fantastic run, and then he

1173
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 1: has allowing carriage with twin seven yards. But get him

1174
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,800
Speaker 1: out of fantasy forever anyways. Uh, Dwayne Washington can't break tackles?

1175
00:57:58,800 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: What is the goal line? I mean, can I just

1176
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: can I just say? What? What in the hell is

1177
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: Detroit doing around the goal? That's what I'm saying watching

1178
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: What are you guys doing? I had no faith as

1179
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: they're driving stop running the ball? Yeah? Well, but at

1180
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: the same time, like what's their best option to throw to? Like,

1181
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if Jones isn't an elite guy, he

1182
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: can't moss everybody Golden Tate like I think. I think,

1183
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,160
Speaker 1: well I got stopped throwing Darren fills the ball. I mean, Eric,

1184
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: what are you guys doing? Eric Ebrown is not that guy.

1185
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: He had a nice long four yard catch and run,

1186
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:31,880
Speaker 1: which is like the only thing he's ever been good.

1187
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: Might be that guy? I mean, I guess what I'm

1188
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: saying that there's gotta be He's got the athleticism, but

1189
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying conceptually, there's got to be something you can do.

1190
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 1: You gotta keep the ball in Matt Stafford's hands, like

1191
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: stop wanting the ball you can't run. Maybe if you

1192
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:49,320
Speaker 1: had it, if you had a good back, you could

1193
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: do it, but but you don't. You don't have that guy.

1194
00:58:51,520 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: So what happened to she Riddick? Like running like the

1195
00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: angle routes and out of the slot exactly. I think

1196
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: teams have started. Well, you're right, but still he's a mismatch.

1197
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: You put my line out there. But yeah, so anyways,

1198
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 1: I always spend too much time harping on that, but

1199
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,919
Speaker 1: it's just like, yeah, it's just that offense just can't

1200
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: really score touchdowns at this point. And on the Steelers side.

1201
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: It might be a hot take, but I would I

1202
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: would consider trying to sell Juju off off the hype

1203
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: from Game P primetime contest. He gets ten targets. He

1204
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: had the one seven yard catch and run for a touchdown,

1205
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: which was really impressive. But I mean, even you take

1206
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: that off the board, he's still on. No, and I'm

1207
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: not and I'm not about like, well if you take

1208
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: the guy's best play away, because yeah, I mean that

1209
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,640
Speaker 1: that makes everybody like you take you take, you take

1210
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: my best looking day away? I look like hell the

1211
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: rest of of course, no, no, everybody knows that. But

1212
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: like coming into this game six targets, three targets, three

1213
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: targets in the game's previous and I think that's the

1214
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 1: way it's gonna go. I don't think that like Martavis

1215
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,479
Speaker 1: Bryan being inactive is is that big of a deal

1216
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: because he just wasn't involved anyways. This is a team

1217
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: that's running the ball, like I mentioned, bottom five and

1218
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 1: run play percentage coming in the last three weeks. I

1219
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: think that's the identity the seal is offense. I just

1220
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 1: don't know if they're on to support two receivers and

1221
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: if his value I don't know selling. I always hate

1222
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: trade advice because it's so dumb, but like I would

1223
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: just explore, like maybe trying to push him out for

1224
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: somebody more established is gonna get volume I don't have.

1225
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: I'm like positive this is the case, but I think

1226
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: this would be the first time a non Antonio Brown

1227
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: player on the Steelers this year has seen double digit

1228
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: targets and that's through eight games. I think you're right

1229
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: about that because like I just pulled up Martevis and

1230
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:28,160
Speaker 1: his highest target total was eight and like who Bell

1231
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 1: Bell might have well wide receiver. I was saying, like

1232
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,480
Speaker 1: a non so non a b non left Bell players

1233
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: saw double digit targets otherwise, like same with Martevis six

1234
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: for eight five eight three. If the Steelers, okay, but

1235
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: how about if the Steelers ship off mart Tevis Bryant.

1236
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: And it's almost like, I almost feel like they should

1237
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: just in terms of a like a mark Ingram type,

1238
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, addition by subtraction, you know what I mean.

1239
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 1: So you take him out of the mix, and then

1240
01:00:54,720 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, everyone else is playing a lot

1241
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: better because there's less pressure to get that guy. The

1242
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: ball um Ben Roethlisberger has is continues to be just

1243
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:08,320
Speaker 1: horrific downfield, I mean just horrific downfield. Um. And I

1244
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: wonder if you know, taking those targets away they're stalling drives,

1245
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: you know whatever it is, the three or four or

1246
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: five handful of targets at the throne of Martevis that

1247
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: are doing absolutely nothing. I wonder if you just turn

1248
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: those into Juju Smith Schuster targets. I'm real, I'll be

1249
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: real curious to see if they do ship off Martevis.

1250
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: I was on the couch yesterday with Ike Taylor and

1251
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 1: he made the point too. He's like, he's like, I

1252
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: don't think they can because that's that's a precedent that

1253
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 1: you can just whind your exactly whind your way, whind

1254
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: your way out of the organization, and that is not

1255
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: how Pittsburgh has ever operated. They've been one of the

1256
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 1: most consistent organization slash front offices, and they don't want

1257
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: to set that precedent. I think it's a but it's

1258
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: a little bit different because it's different getting shipped out

1259
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 1: versus getting a contract extension. I think what Ike is

1260
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:56,400
Speaker 1: talking about is trying to get a contract extension. Martevis

1261
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 1: is like, no, just get me out. It's different. I mean,

1262
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:04,400
Speaker 1: it's it's money being spent versus I also think they

1263
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 1: that they won't they have. Mike Tomas even said, like,

1264
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: we've invested too much in this guy. Clearly we need

1265
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: to invest more time with him. But they they've spent

1266
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,760
Speaker 1: years resources putting them through you know, therapy and rehab

1267
01:02:14,760 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. At just I'm all about it,

1268
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: and and but and and if they get him dialed in,

1269
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:22,720
Speaker 1: he's a game changing asset. I mean, we we know

1270
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: that it's been a long time since we've seen it,

1271
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: but he is a game changing asset. I think he

1272
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 1: is more valuable too, because again you ship him out,

1273
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 1: what the hell are you getting back? You're getting like

1274
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick from the Bills or something who

1275
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: cares last, probably probably less. What we What are you

1276
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: going to give up for a player that is, you know,

1277
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: one sneeze away from forever life band suspension, someone who

1278
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 1: hasn't put good tape on the field well over a

1279
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: calendar year. Now, so what are you doing? I think

1280
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: he's more valuable to the Steelers in their organization than

1281
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: and which when he comes back from his one game inactive, like,

1282
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: don't be n idiot on an Instagram thing like he's

1283
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: still doesn't get a few targets. It's gonna be hard

1284
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: for Juju to access this ceiling. All right, there you go.

1285
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: All right, let's close out your show with a round

1286
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:13,760
Speaker 1: of daily dapsas. Alright, drop Alex kicked off? Alright, good,

1287
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of things to dap quick first,

1288
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: Destiny Too. Picked it up, very very very fun, gorgeous game,

1289
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: great soundtrack, having a lot of fun playing it. Check

1290
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: it out Stranger Things season two and five episodes. It's awesome.

1291
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: And now my office has prepared an official statement in

1292
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: regards to the Hooks Folks and I just don't. Should

1293
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: we recap the Hocux pokes, Let's recap, Let's recap. So

1294
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: last week's Thursday podcast, Alex, Let's lose that on uh, Sunday,

1295
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,560
Speaker 1: Sunday night. Sunday night, he got home from watching a game,

1296
01:03:48,680 --> 01:03:54,240
Speaker 1: from watching football all day, he said, I was channel surfing.

1297
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: Hocus Folks was on. It was like, oh, great, cracked beer,

1298
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: and just I just relaxed and watched Hooks pot feed

1299
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,400
Speaker 1: up and had a great night watching hocus Pocus, drinking

1300
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: beer and franchise. And that was just a natural reflex.

1301
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: Response was get a life, and we all died laughing.

1302
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Gave you crap for cracking a beer and watching hocus Pocused.

1303
01:04:14,360 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: Now for my official statement. Last Thursday, during the Daily

1304
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: Depths portion of the podcast, I referenced watching and enjoying

1305
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: the cult classic family film hocus Pocus my starring Bette Midler,

1306
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: Sarah Jessica Parker, and a young thorape Birch. I was

1307
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: immediately assaulted for my takes the fact that I had

1308
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: and enjoyed a beer watching this objectively no one quality film.

1309
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 1: Shut up. Let me finish my statement. After several days

1310
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: of mostly abuse from the haters and losers on social

1311
01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: media and by my own father via text on the

1312
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: need to address this situation instead of focusing on the

1313
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,160
Speaker 1: bigger picture and making fantasy great again. Hold on, what

1314
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 1: did your dad for starters? He said? I agree with them.

1315
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 1: Hocus Pocus sucks, get a life wow for starters. Ocus

1316
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: Focus is objectively not a quote great film. No one

1317
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 1: is saying that it deserves oscars. As I referenced, it

1318
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: is a cult classic, one people enjoyed despite and oftentimes

1319
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: because of its mediocrity. One of the main characters is

1320
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: a talking cat named Thackeray Binks. For God's sake, several

1321
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: of you have reveled in watching terrible movies with me

1322
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,800
Speaker 1: in the past, and for you to turn the tables

1323
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: on this is quite honestly disgraceful. Next the beer, I'm

1324
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 1: frankly baffled. How dare you loose cannon? How dare you

1325
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:33,000
Speaker 1: next the beer? Frankly, I'm baffled that I would be

1326
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: attacked on this beer loving podcast for drinking a delicious beverage.

1327
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:42,240
Speaker 1: After a thirteen plus our day of working, franchise told me,

1328
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 1: let me finish, get to life. A long day of

1329
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: work is one of the best times to drink a beer,

1330
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 1: and in fact, drinking beer watching a bad movie is

1331
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: an activity we have done together multiple times. It. Furthermore,

1332
01:05:56,360 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: beer is a great accompaniment to pretty much any activity

1333
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 1: that does not involved bridding machinery or driving in a

1334
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: sort of vehicle insummation. I feel I was unfeeling in

1335
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: this regard, and the Cocti group think from this room

1336
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: and the listeners latched onto one fact and that it

1337
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 1: was hocus pocus and missed the bigger picture. With that,

1338
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: I conclude my statement also the haters and losers galhar Out,

1339
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: we dropped the mic. Ok So, I think we can

1340
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: all literally leaving the podcast studio because he said, screws out.

1341
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 1: I think it literally is leaving the studio. He doesn't

1342
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 1: want to hear our rebuts I think there's there's only

1343
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: one response to to make to that little tirade, which

1344
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: is still get a life. How long did you spend

1345
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:45,280
Speaker 1: writing that, That's what I was thinking, Probably at least

1346
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 1: half an hour while hocus focus was on. He probably

1347
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: dv arted, well, you gotta have something else to do

1348
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: while you're watching that. Oh goodness, that was sad. That franchise.

1349
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 1: What you got. I daily dap this last week, but

1350
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna daily DAPs the World Series again because it's

1351
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 1: absolutely incredible. One for the books. Last night it was

1352
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,760
Speaker 1: thirteen to twelve? Are you kidding me? It felt over

1353
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: five different times? I know. I mean, I cannot imagine

1354
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,920
Speaker 1: being a fan in one of those stadiums and just

1355
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: draining your emotions when your team goes up by three runs, right,

1356
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: and then the other team ties it, and then your

1357
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: team goes up again by a home run, and then

1358
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,479
Speaker 1: the other team ties it again, all in the span

1359
01:07:24,560 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 1: of like four hours. It's just insane. Well you're you're

1360
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: short changing, and it was five hours, five hours, it was.

1361
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: It was it's exhaust I love the fact after Game one,

1362

1403
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,839

Speaker 1: offices are and everything up there on the second floor.

1406
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 1: Is that a normal occurrence, I don't know. I think

1407
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,240
Speaker 1: it was because of the London game. We went. There

1408
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:58,400
Speaker 1: was absolutely zero people on the second floor at seven am.

01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,000

1414
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,639
