00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna talk about some guys that have basically I don't know,

37

38

Speaker 1: guys that are struggling right now. We'll talk about whether

39

Speaker 1: will of course give you his top Waiver Wire guys

44
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: as well. But as always, we start what's your top headlines?

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: The camera highlights in the world of sport, freaking breaking news,

46
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: breaking the continue to follow breaking news. Why I think

47
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 1: the top story resides with Carolina, Cam Newton and the

48
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. Ron Rivera says he's got no idea whether

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: Cam will be available Monday versus Tampa Bay. We're gonna

50
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: keep a close eye on. Of course, we'll have more

51
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: as the week progressive, but as of right now today,

52
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: we're not exactly sure what the availed ability for Cam

53
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: Newton will be. Another concussion to another star quarterback, Carson

54
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: Palmer suffered a concussion as well in Sunday's loss to

55
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: the Rams, a shocking loss really cards on a short week, folks.

56
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: They play Thursday versus the forty Niners. It's a dream

57
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: matchup for Carson Palmer if he goes. If he doesn't go,

58
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton is the backup there, folks, gentlemen, what do

59
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: you guys think I have the sads potentially, um, partially

60
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,239
Speaker 1: because John Brown was starting to rise from the fantasy ashes,

61
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: get it because Phoenix. Um. But you know, if if

62
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton is there, then that's not great, that's not great.

63
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: That kind of all goes away in the short week.

64
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: And you know, I mean travel, I guess is part

65
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: of it, but a flight from Phoenix to San Francisco

66
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: isn't really that long. Um. But I do think there

67
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: are things to be concerned about a little bit with

68
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: the Cardinals offense, you know, with the Panthers offense. I mean,

69
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: the two teams that were in the NEFC Championship game

70
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: last alright, combined two and six. They're falling apart. So

71
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: there are worries there. You know what this Carson Palmer

72
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: injury really means for Thursday night football is all of

73
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: the David Johnson, Yeah, buddy, they'll probably ride him even more.

74
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: The forty Niners lost naval bowman. There's no tim he's

75
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: going to be back. It's been confirmed yet that it

76
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: is his achilles. Yes. The eighty Niners, just as we speak,

77
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: have just tweeted out that navaral Bowman suffered a season

78
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: ending achilles injury, and uh this weekend when zeke what

79
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: really got going after navoral Bowman got injured from surprise

80
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: kind of the heart and soulo that San Francisco defense.

81
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: So if Carson Palmer does sit, I would expect them

82
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: to lean on Johnson heavily in this game. But here's

83
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: the thing though with David Johnson, and we talked about

84
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: this with Todd Gurley all the time, is that you know,

85
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have uneven quarterback play well this team.

86
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's a little bit different because of the

87
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niners defensively are so bad, but um,

88
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: will they be in a position to score a lot

89
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,559
Speaker 1: of touchdowns? And that's kind of what we wonder about

90
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: with David Johnson as well. Nope, I don't think that

91
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: I think this game could be like thirteen ten. That

92
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: might be being generous, but yeah, no, no, I think

93
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: something like that in the neighborhood of that range of

94
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect it to go over you know, like

95
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: thirty points or anything. You think if this game, if

96
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: he's nins offense being the way that it is and

97
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: Drew Stanton, who has not looked good in the prese

98
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: He didn't look good in the preseason this year. I'm

99
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: actually surprised he's still on the roster. Yeah. Well, I

100
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: mean they don't really have any better options, that's the

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: that's the problem. I mean, they had Matt Barkley in

102
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: camp last year, and I think they saw enough of

103
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: that to uh sent him on his way? Was he

104
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: really so bad? I mean, I don't know. I didn't

105
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: think he was that bad. Was he? That's just your

106
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: pack up. Anyways, I think, like, I just think this

107
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: offense could be in for kind of a disaster, which,

108
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 1: like Mark said, is unfortunately because my best friend John

109
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: Brown got going last week. I mean my best friends friend.

110
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't know I exist, but it was but it

111
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: was really good to see, you know, he gets it.

112
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: Got sixteen hardets of the team snaps. But yeah, this

113
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: often could probably just be a train wreck on a

114
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: short week. Even if Drew Stanton goes and Carson Palmer's out,

115
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: you still gotta against the Niners. You still gotta roll

116
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: out your guys, right, who are you guys? Yeah? I

117
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: mean what Larry fits John Brown? Michael Michael Floyd, Michael Floyd,

118
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd, I'm about done with Michael, And I know

119
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: I was a big Michael Floyd homer and everybody everybody

120
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: was I'm about done. How many times have we said no, really, guys,

121
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: this is it, this is it, this is the year.

122
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he looked good at the end of last year,

123
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: but he was it just me? Or did he dropped

124
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: like a hundred passes on Sunday? Well, he only played

125
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: uh percent of the team snaps. Geron Brown played ahead

126
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 1: of him at fifty seven percent. And this was the

127
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: thing that like a long time beat ridder Kent Somers

128
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: had said, like, I think Michael Floyd needs to lose

129
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: playing time to Geron Brown specifically, and that sure enough

130
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: ended up happening. Floyd wasn't the concussion protocol the week before,

131
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: so maybe that has something to do with his lack

132
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: of playing time. But waitbe we talked about I think

133
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: Friday's podcast that he had been one of the most

134
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: disappointing UH players earlier in the going. But you know,

135
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: we also saw with with John Brown commanding targets, he

136
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: had like I said, he had sixteen, Floyd had seven,

137
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: and Fitzgerald had seven that this is kind of what

138
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: had me worried about Fitzgerald coming into the year, that

139
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: when all of these receivers are active, he's not going

140
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: to get a ton of targets. But do you still play?

141
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: I mean, fitz has still been you know, again, I

142
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: don't know about consistent, but he's been, He's been there.

143
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: I would say it fits. Maybe is the one guy

144
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: you can kind of go with because he still runs

145
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: those underneath routes a little bit more. And I think

146
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: if it is Drew Stanton, that's even against the Niners.

147
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: You don't play John Brown. I think it's gonna be

148
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: hard to not playing. But the thing, I think so

149
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: many people dropped John Brown, and the people that now

150
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: owned John Brown had you know, the depth, they got

151
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: depth potentially, So I would say he's probably for me

152
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna be ranked in the high thirties. I would say

153
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: so because I think this. I mean, there's just a

154
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: low floor here with stand behind center. There we go,

155
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: let's go to Atlanta. Tevin Coleman says he's unsure if

156
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna play versus Denver because of sickle cell. According

157
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: to ESPN's Vaughan McClure, It's a condition that affects red

158
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: blood cells that is exacerbated at high altitudes. It can

159
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: lead to extreme dehydration and trouble breathing. Former safety Ryan

160
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: Clark had the same condition as Tevin Coleman, and in

161
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: two thousand seven after his game in Denver, I mean

162
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 1: literally almost died. Ryan Clark was hospitalized, lost his spleen

163
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: and gallbladder. Um, I'm assuming if he doesn't go. Although

164
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: here's the update right the dan Quinn in a press

165
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: conference says he expects Tevin Coleman to play at Denver

166
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: despite the sickle cell trade. I mean, guys, this is ridiculous.

167
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: It's it's absurd, it's ridiculous. He should not play. I

168
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 1: mean maybe dan Quinn is saying this for for coaching purposes, like, hey, Denver,

169
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: you've got to prepare for both guys, but do the

170
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: right thing here man. Yeah, I would imagine that two

171
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: of the right thing don't play. I imagine this will

172
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,599
Speaker 1: be a story where by the time we get to

173
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: Winnesday or Thursday, Um, there's talk that he's not and

174
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, and I would hope that Tevin Coleman gets

175
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 1: a say in this whole thing. Uh Yeah, I would hope,

176
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: so we would hope for sure that's craziness. But yeah,

177
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: Davante Freeman obviously, Um, I don't want to say he's

178
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 1: a strong play because Jennifer's defense is so good, although

179
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: they're the rushing defense has taken a step back this year,

180
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: but still uh yeah, so they they were very much

181
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: shut down with Charles Simms, Like Charles Sims has not

182
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: been playing well in his feature back audition with Doug Markin. Yeah,

183
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: I really thought Charles Simms was gonna be a nice

184
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: play last week and that didn't happen. He did get

185
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: injured midway through the game too, and then came back

186
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: and didn't look good. But you know, it's it's been

187
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: a tough well. We talked about Charles Simms like, while

188
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: this was exactly what we kind of wanted to see

189
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: with Simms, like when I want to see Doug Martin

190
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: get hurt, but like, oh, he's gonna in in in

191
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: sort a ton of volume into his workload. But we

192
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: also said this was not an ideal time because he

193
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: was gonna face a ton of tough fronts, which he

194
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 1: had is done. All right, there you go. According to

195
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 1: the Jets Beat reporter Ralph Vaciano. Vacano, I don't know.

196
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: I don't know that Fote was seen on a cart

197
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: heading to the X ray room after their game versus

198
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. I'm assuming balal Powell shares will skyrocket soon.

199
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,319
Speaker 1: But again, we don't have in definitive answer to what

200
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: happened in Matt Forte, why he went in, but whether

201
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 1: he's actually injured or what that might mean. But those

202
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: of you who see balal Powell on the waiver wire

203
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: be an interesting ad, certainly, but we'll get Yeah, he's

204
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: actually been he's been finally getting more touches as we

205
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: kind of expected earlier in the season, in the off

206
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 1: season and we thought this would be a backfield split.

207
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: They the last two weeks, it's been thirty three touches

208
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: for four to twenty for Powell and he's far outproduced

209
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: Forte on those touches. So there you go. We'll get

210
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: more word. I'm sure about Matt Forte's injury or non

211
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: injury as the week goes on. Trevor Simeon as an

212
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: a c joint sprain in his non throwing shoulder that

213
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: according to Pro Football Talk, the injury could keep him

214
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: out the next couple of weeks. Again that according to

215
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: Pro Football Talk, but head coach Gary Kubiak says the

216
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: injuries only day today, Paxton Lynch is the next guy up.

217
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: He could start this week versus a t L. But

218
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: again Gary Kubiak playing that pretty close to the vest um.

219
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: As you can imagine, if Paxson Lynch goes, what does

220
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: it mean for the pass catchers there. I don't know

221
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: that much changes, really, No, I'm not sure much really changes,

222
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: especially because you know, I think Lynch obviously is a

223
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: different quarterback and he's a guy that I think they

224
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: want to move around, and I think his strength is

225
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: getting out of the pocket, throwing on the run, um

226
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: doing that sort of thing. But in terms of what

227
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: he does and how he distributes the ball and how

228
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: he gets it downfield, I don't know that much changes.

229
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: And it goes back to what Harmon mentioned in the

230
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: preseason concentrated passing game. It's still to Marius Thomas Emmanuel Sanders,

231
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: and that's kind of it right now. I mean that

232
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: I get, but Paxson Lynch has got a much bigger arm.

233
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, I think that's one thing that

234
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: he could unlock more of a downfield element. I mean,

235
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 1: we did give Simeon just praise in Week three for

236
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: exploiting the Bengals when they pretty much did almost nothing

237
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: to prevent the deep football and then paid for it.

238
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: But in Week four, Lynch's average depth of aim throw

239
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: was thirteen point four, which dwarfs simeons seven point six

240
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: average for the season. So he absolutely brings more of

241
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: a downfield element to the past game. He had probably

242
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: the strongest arm among the quarterbacks that were drafted this year,

243
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: so he definitely brings a big play ability to Emmanuel Sanders,

244
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: who is the clear number one target in this passing game.

245
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: He has forty two targets to twenty six for Damerius

246
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: Thomas this year, so I think that it could be

247
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: really just a more of a bonanza for the for

248
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: the passing game options especially, but you know, we know

249
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: it's going to go through those two. I will say this,

250
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: I think it you talked about unlocking the deep ball.

251
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: First of all, Gary Kubiak loves to do play action, right,

252
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: so this will help with the play action. But that

253
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 1: being the said, play action usually means big plays downfield.

254
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Who is that guy that is Demarrius Thomas. That's Demearrius

255
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: Thomas game. I wouldn't be surprised if Packison Lynch starts

256
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: that to Mary's Thomas's value actually sees a significant rise.

257
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,680
Speaker 1: At least they're gonna take deeper shots with him, especially

258
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: off of play action. So that's something I'm excited to

259
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: possibly see if Paxison Lynch goes Sunday versus Atlanta, who

260
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: again is okay defensively They're not great though, um and

261
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: they do give up points. Dwayne Washington there in Detroit

262
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 1: suffered what appeared to be an ankle injury. We don't

263
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: know what the severity is yet. Zack Zenter could get

264
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: some extra work, although I think I just saw a

265
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: report actually, Dave Burquette, I think of the Free Press there,

266
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 1: uh Detroit free Press. Free press said that it is

267
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: an ankle, mild ankle and foot spring for Dwayne Washington.

268
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: I gotta double check that, but I think I just

269
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 1: saw that, so, uh, there you go. Kevin White also

270
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: suffered an apparent ankle injury as well, and m r

271
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: I is expected. We will try to update you. You

272
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: can follow us on Twitter, any single one of us

273
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter. U to get some of that extra info

274
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: as it becomes available. All right, let's do it. I

275
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: don't want to sorry to just derail real quick already,

276
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 1: but I do want to just like briefly throw something

277
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: out about Kevin White, especially how it relates to Alshon Jeffrey,

278
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: because I think Alshon Jeffrey's usage this season, to me

279
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: is the most confusing thing that's happened so far in

280
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: this season. Like Kevin White far and away leads the

281
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: team and targets. He's led the team and targets in

282
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: three of the four games, including last week where he

283
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: saw or just yesterday where he saw nine targets despite

284
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: only playing a few uh snaps in the third quarter

285
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: because he got injured. It's been so weird to me

286
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: that he has been the volume houg of this offense

287
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: and not Alshon Jeffrey. Uh So, I would love to

288
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: get your guys thoughts on do we think that Jeffrey

289
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: is going to see more targets now if White misses

290
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: the games, because like it just it doesn't make I

291
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: have like a few conspiracy theories as to why this

292
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: might be, and we could talk about those. Want to

293
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: depressing his contract value as well. I don't even know

294
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: if it's that source so much as you know. And

295
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: Adam Rerank actually was the one who first threw this

296
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: out to Adam Rerank with conspiracy, and he was the

297
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: first one that kind of kind of turned me onto

298
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: this in the preseason, and back then I was like, no,

299
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 1: that's that's ridiculous. Don't be don't be stupid like that.

300
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: They because they don't view Alshan as a future asset

301
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: for their team, They're gonna essentially dial up plays where

302
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: Kevin White is the number one read and I think

303
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: you're seeing that playout because if you think about to

304
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: Jake Cutler is as a quarterback, who Brian Horrier is

305
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, they're both guys that really just read

306
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: one guy and throw it to one guy over and

307
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: over again. So if that is indeed the play calling,

308
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: I think that makes sense based on who their quarterbacks are.

309
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: That that's why the ball keeps going to Kevin White.

310
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: And even in the second half when White went out yesterday,

311
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: al Sean didn't get a single target in the second half.

312
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: So it's just I again, I don't want to go

313
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: like all, you know, truth or conspiracy theory here, but

314
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of big did slay shadow him yesterday? Could

315
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: that have had anything to do with the two? And

316
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: he was also he was also dogged with a knee

317
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: and a hamstring injury, like he's been a little bit

318
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: bank limited him in practice. He has been running almost

319
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: primarily downfield routes too. And it's not like Brian Hoyer

320
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: is a guy that necessarily loves to get the ball

321
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: down the field or anything like that. So I mean,

322
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: I think there's just a few ways that you can

323
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: spend this. But either way, what's happened with al Shon

324
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: through the first four games, to me, has been the

325
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: most confusing thing that and like of all the things

326
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: I did not expect to happen, God knows, we please

327
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: see so many things that we don't expect to happen,

328
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: this has been the one that's been the most like

329
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: confusing to me. I mean, you look at the yardage

330
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: though um al Shan still is dwarfing Kevin White in

331
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: terms of the yardage. I think this kind of goes

332
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: to what we were saying about, you know, him playing downfield,

333
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: right Like al Shon's got three seventeen receiving yards, Kevin

334
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: White's got a hundred eighty seven. But to your point,

335
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: thirty six targets for Kevin White versus just well, that's

336
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: so confusing too, because you would think again, I could

337
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: like hear the exasperation of my own voice coming out

338
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: right now. That's what's been so confusing to me about

339
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: this because it's not even like Kevin White has played well.

340
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: I mean he hasn't looked at targets, but there's nothing there.

341
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything from Kevin White. Roun'm like, hey, yeah,

342
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: like this is a dude, you gotta jump on it now,

343
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: Like I haven't seen that. I mean, he still looks

344
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: raw as hell, which is to be expected, but again,

345
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: it just fuels the confusion to me is why is

346
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,640
Speaker 1: this guy the feature featured player and not Alshan Jeffrey,

347
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: who is ap proven stuff. My fear is this means

348
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: we're really gonna actually have to pay attention to Eddie

349
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: Royal beyond the month of September. And I know that,

350
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: uh spoiler alert. I know he's in the deep the

351
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 1: deep dive waiver wire this week, but normally you know

352
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: Eddie Royal, Eddie Royal has like three or four touchdowns

353
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: in September and then you can forget about on the

354
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: rest of the year. Right now, we might actually have

355
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: to pay attention. Seven targets, seven catches, a hundred yards,

356
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: and a touchdown last week. It's pretty good. He's had

357
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: four catches and fifty plus yards in three or four

358
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: games this year. I I always go going back to

359
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: have a white I always go to this when I

360
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: think about backup quarterbacks. Um, and this has nothing to

361
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: do with the contract conspiracy. Although that's a great conspiracy,

362
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily buy it because because then you'd have

363
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: to get Jay Cutler and Brian Hoyer in on that,

364
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: which is Yeah, Brian Hoyer just sure wants to just

365
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: stay on roster, so that's fine, but we need you

366
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: to do this. That seems hard. It definitely seems like

367
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: layers and layers. And I was talking about that on

368
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: Twitter this morning. I did J J. Zach Reeson was like, well,

369
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: that would seem like like you just said. He was

370
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: like kind of stretch to say that all these people

371
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: would get in on any from the quarterbacks. But like

372
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: I said, because those are two guys that just don't

373
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: hardly ever get off that first read. If they're just

374
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: designing the play calls to go to Kevin White. And

375
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: also I would also say that would yeah, I don't

376
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: know man, that that would get back. That would gosh,

377
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: that'd be so hard to the Chicago I will say

378
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: this though, like when I started thinking about backup quarterbacks

379
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: getting in there, um, I always think about who do

380
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: they work with in practice, and it's probably not necessarily

381
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: the number one, it's the second team. It's the second

382
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: team guy, Eddie roy like, so, I mean, I think

383
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: Eddie Royal into a lesser degree, I think Kevin White

384
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: as well, even though I know Kevin White runs with

385
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: the one. I'm sure he got some good working with

386
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer as well. So I don't know, man, that's

387
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: kind of my theory behind it all. But it's like

388
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: you said, I mean, you look at thirty six targets

389
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: just a hundred eighty seven yards. That's not efficiency. No,

390
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: he hasn't. By the way, one last quick I know

391
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: we're moving on, but one last quick note on Eddie

392
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 1: Royal um throughout his career. In the month of September

393
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: he has fourteen career touchdowns. Every other month combined throughout

394
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: his career, he has fourteen career touch He's on the

395
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: Martelli martellist train. Hey, let's do quarter pole, and by

396
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: pole I mean p O L L. So do not

397
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: at tweet me talking about how quarter pole refers to

398
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: horse racing and then it's the last quarter of a

399
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 1: race and not the first quarter. You know what, don't

400
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: you don't care, We don't care. It's the quarter pole.

401
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna play a little factor fiction. I thought it

402
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: was like the north pole. That uh new okay, factor fiction.

403
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw out some facts or some statements, and

404
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: you guys tell me if it's factor fiction. Why or

405
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: why not? Matt Ryan, who is the number one quarterback

406
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 1: in the game right now and just came off of

407
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: a five hundred yard performance against Carolina, Oh my god,

408
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: will finish as a top three fantasy quarterback factor fiction.

409
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: I say fiction was gone? You know I say fiction

410
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: as well? Yes? Why Here's why I think fiction. He's

411
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: played four of the worst secondaries and teams with like

412
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: zero pass rush through these first four weeks Carolina, which

413
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: is weird their seconds, right we we We talked about this,

414
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: I feel like on Friday's podcast, and if you were

415
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 1: like this afraid of Matt Ryan, you must have just

416
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: not been watching the Panthers defense because they can't get

417
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: any pressure on the quarterback. They have a young and

418
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: inexperienced secondary. I mean they're they're options to cover Julio

419
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 1: Jones on Sunday, were the rookie James Bradberry or the

420
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: five foot ten inch Banaban Wickery And so so he's

421
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: been able to steamroll through four awful secondaries with not

422
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: much of a pass rush. And now here's well where

423
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: we'll find out if the real Matt Ryan will stand

424
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: up this week Denver, following week Seattle, the week after

425
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: San Diego doesn't have a great pass rush, has a

426
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: great secondary, the week after the Packers, and they've they've

427
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: done they I'm not trying to be a homer here,

428
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: but they've gotten a lot of pressure on the quarterback

429
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: with large about Matthews. Yeah, so they'll and they could

430
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: have Sam Shields back, So that's gonna be another good defense.

431
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 1: He has to run into those four defenses. Then he

432
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: gets the Bucks again, then Philadelphia, which is also a

433
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: great defense. So if Matt Ryan is still like among

434
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: the top five quarterbacks after that stretched cherry, I'll believe it.

435
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think he will because I have a

436
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: feeling those defenses. If he's the top five, if if

437
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: he's a top five quarterback, after that he's finishing in

438
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: the top five, there's no There's no question in my mind.

439
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: I mean, especially when you throw in Denver Seattle. But

440
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,719
Speaker 1: here I will say this, though, the guy has been

441
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 1: a talented quarterback. I just think and this is what

442
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: I wrote on on Sunday, I just think the stats

443
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: are catching up with the talent level. He's one of

444
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: the top in my opinion, he's one of the top

445
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: ten or twelve quarterbacks in terms of talent in this league.

446
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 1: The stats just have never but he's never been a

447
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 1: good anesty quarterback. I get that. I just think he's

448
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: like Mark Brunell, back in his hat a little bit,

449
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: and I just think the stats are now starting to

450
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 1: catch up with him. He's got you know, he's got

451
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: reliable outside receivers uh In, Julio Jones and Mohammedan Knew.

452
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: He's got two good running backs as well. We cannot

453
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: talk like the The addition of Alex mac to that

454
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: offensive line has been huge for the for that offense.

455
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know, Man, will he be a top

456
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: three I'm not sure. But gosh, I'm finding it difficult

457
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: to talk myself out of a top five finish for

458
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, which, by the way, I did see your tweet,

459
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: and I actually dropped your tweet about Matt Ryan in

460
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: my you know things I learned for a week four

461
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: And I know when you said, you know, should we

462
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: be surprised, I know you wanted the resounding answer to

463
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 1: be no, we shouldn't be surprised, But yes, yes, I'm

464
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: surprised because he's a guy. You look at his numbers

465
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: and he has been I mean they've been fine. Like

466
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,719
Speaker 1: you know, out of eight seasons, I think I counted

467
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: three out of eight seasons where his his quarterback rating

468
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: was in the top and and never at any point

469
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: have you talked about who were the start listening the

470
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,959
Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in the National Football League And almost never

471
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: has Matt Ryan's name come up. He's been slightly above average.

472
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: And I know that. You know, our friends on the

473
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: A T and podcast for a while, they had what

474
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: they called the Dalton scale, where if you were better

475
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: than Andy Dalton, you were a franchise quarterback. If you

476
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 1: were if you were worse than Andy Dalton, you were

477
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: not and you know Andy Dalton being the prime meridian

478
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks and he was maybe just above you a

479
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: little bit above that line. He's never I don't think

480
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: he's ever been below the line. But he's never been.

481
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 1: He's certainly never been anything close to an elite quarterback.

482
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 1: He's been, you know, above average. He's a B quarterback

483
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: and he's been like you know, from a football standpoint,

484
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: he he just never did the things to get over

485
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: the hump for me. I mean he was he's the

486
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: king of the red zone interception and you know, certainly

487
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: fantasy wise, he's never done anything. So we have we

488
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: have called him Mit you like now I feel like

489
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: I feel like I have to retire the name. If

490
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: he keeps playing. It's America's grant. Sorry. From a real

491
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: life football perspective, the last thing I'll say defending Matt

492
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: Ryan Okay is that for a large portion of his career,

493
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: they played old school football. Man. They ran that ball,

494
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: and then they did play action and they look for

495
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: the deep pass um. I think they've modernized his game,

496
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: and they've modernized the offense a lot his his December schedule,

497
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: even if he struggles in that stretch that you were

498
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: just talking about in Ostoebren in November. His December schedule

499
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: is pretty nice. Chiefs at home, Rams on the road,

500
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: forty Niners at home, and Panthers again, we're the worst

501
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 1: team in the league. Cleveland Browns, well, they'll win two

502
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: games eventually. Where the Panthers are going alright, So Matt

503
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: Ryan and the Falcons. They beat Cam Newton and the

504
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 1: Panthers on Sunday. Cam right now sitting eight touchdowns total touchdown,

505
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: six total turnovers. He's the QB number seven. He had

506
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: a great week one um and he's been you know,

507
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: okay at best. Over the next three weeks, Cam Newton

508
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: will finish outside of the top five at his fantasy

509
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 1: position franchise to see you shaking your hand, No, I

510
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: think he'll be a top five guy by the end

511
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: of the season. He's got a really great schedule the

512
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,719
Speaker 1: rest of her They still have to play New Orleans twice,

513
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: they get Oakland and wee one of the worst Tampa Bay. Like,

514
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: if he can get healthy, you know they're they're missing

515
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart right now, which kind of hurts. But Cam,

516
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: Cam can run the ball. Cam can get in the

517
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: end zone on his feet and that's what gives him

518
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: his fantasy his fantasy value. And yeah, I think he

519
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: can easily be top five. He's got two with the Saints,

520
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: Oakland and Tampa Bay left on his schedule. That helps. Yeah, yeah,

521
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: so you know, I think he ends up as a

522
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: top five guy. And if the defense is gonna be bad,

523
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: that's actually and like now I just said that, and

524
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: now I'm thinking, like he probably passed the ball more.

525
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: But the thing about this team, and I mean, if

526
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: you listen to this podcast, you could tell, like I'm

527
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: a tilted pant. There's follower man, not even a fan,

528
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: just a follower, just a follower. Uh, there's such a

529
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: front runner team, like and Cam Newton is just a

530
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: front runner player. That's what you're a fan of them, right,

531
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: And I'm a front runner person. I've never I've never

532
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 1: overcome any university or had any any any trials in

533
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: my life. It's all been front run. But so, I mean,

534
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: I think which isn't bad. But this team, like you

535
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 1: saw it last year, they love to get the lead.

536
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: They love to throw the foot on the throat like

537
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 1: that's when they play their best football. And if the

538
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: defense is gonna be bad, now, I'm kind of talking

539
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: to myself in the other direction where I think that

540
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: might not be such a good thing, even if there's

541
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: gonna be more volume, especially because Cam Newton has struggled

542
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 1: under pressure this year. Uh, He's faced blitz is on

543
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: twenty pass adempts the last two weeks. He's at a

544
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: thirty four point nine five quarterback rating. That's not good.

545
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: It's not good. And the protection their line stinks. I

546
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: mean they have Michael or As, they're starting left tackle,

547
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: which isn't good, and he's hurt. Their right tackle, Mike

548
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: Reremers as a disaster. Their edge pressure is just not there,

549
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: and I don't know, like just I think Cam New's

550
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 1: gonna end up being a top five guy almost simply

551
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 1: on the back like because it was rushing like that.

552
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: He ranks in the league right now in rushing of

553
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 1: all players. That crazy if two rushing just with his

554
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: yards is one and forty seven yards rank in the NFL,

555
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,639
Speaker 1: right got to rushing rights sounds if they figure this

556
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin thing out what I think. It's three catches

557
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks. I thought, I mean, we

558
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 1: were all saying that it was going to be an

559
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: overcorrection on Sunday. That's what I just got. And like

560
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: I said, this is there's something to be said about

561
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: like team mentality and the way an entire organization plays,

562
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 1: and I think right now the Panthers are just kind

563
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: of a little bit lost as an organization at one

564
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 1: and one in three, which sounds dumb because this has

565
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: been the staple of Ron rivera eras his his teams.

566
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: There they've started slow and then they get hot, except

567
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 1: last year, and that was when Cam Newton was just

568
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: an all star fantasy quarterback and all these players really

569
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: did well for fantasy. And I think there's just something

570
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 1: to be said about the mindset of the team that, like,

571
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 1: I think they kind of need to find themselves right now,

572
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: which is weird to say, but if they can't find

573
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: themselves Monday night against the Buccaneers at home in primetime,

574
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna get worried. Hey. By the way, this

575
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: should not go unnoticed the fact that he is in

576
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: concussion protocol, because really in Week one he probably suffered

577
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: a concussion as well. I know there was a big,

578
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, a big controversy. I don't want a big controversy,

579
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: but there was some controversy about him not being in

580
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol after week one. It's very likely he's

581
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: suffered two concussions here in four weeks. That's something to

582
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. He's been just hit so much.

583
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray is the number one fantasy running back in

584
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: the game right now. He will finish in the top

585
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 1: three Marcus Grant, I throw to I'm gonna say fiction

586
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: top three. I don't know. I think I think he

587
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: will finishes a top five at this point because he

588
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: has been the only bright spot and then otherwise that

589
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: awful Titans offense. The Time's offense looks like trash. It's

590
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: been off it's been awful. When he's still producing, and

591
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: not just as a runner but as a receiver too.

592
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been a big part of their passing game.

593
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: So I think that will continue. And by the way,

594
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry has just faded into obscurity here. He has,

595
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: as Mike Tyson say, he has faded into bolivion. Um.

596
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: I you know, but at some point, I think opposing

597
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: defenses are going to realize that, hey, this is the

598
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,479
Speaker 1: only thing that's working there. Because you know, for as

599
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: excited as we were about Taj Sharp at the start

600
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: of the year, he has been a nonentity in the

601
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. The de Lanny Walker has hasn't

602
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: been a hundred percent healthy, so he hasn't quite been

603
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: as much of a playmaker there. DeMarco is the only

604
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 1: thing they have and eventually I think teams are gonna

605
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: start to take that away. And even Marcus Mariota has

606
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: taken a step back. Yeah, he does not look good

607
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: at all. And speaking of weird ranking, since de Marco

608
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: Mary's only twenty five yards out of being the leading

609
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: receiver on the Titans, too, Matthews is leading the team

610
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: with an eight yards to Marco. Murray has a hundred

611
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: and fifty six receiving dang exotic smash mouth. Yeah. Yeah,

612
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: that's the whole Titans offense, right except Murray, except Marco Murray.

613
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: I think if Murray can stay healthy, he can the

614
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: top three. Yeah, I'm I think so. I'm just concerned

615
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: that he might be healthyank down at some point. Yeah,

616
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: have you usage I haven't looked at his targets and

617
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: touches are very very heavy. He had more touches than

618
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: any running back in Week four. Yeah, and He's been

619
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: used pretty much like Marry said, as a as a

620
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: receiver and as a runner heavily in the first four weeks.

621
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: All right, how about leve Bell. He leads the team

622
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: in receptions by the way, of course he does. Leve

623
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: Bell came back in a big way Sunday night, Yes,

624
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs at home. A hundred and forty four rush yards

625
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: on what eighteen attempts only it's pretty good. Thirty four

626
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: receiving yards as well in his very first game back.

627
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: Leve Bell we'll finish as the RB one factor fiction fiction,

628
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: because David Johnson is going to finish is the RB one.

629
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm afraid of D'Angelo Williams stealing goal line work

630
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: like he did? Did he did? He did as well?

631
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: Also the fact that you know, he's kind of spotted

632
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people four games, But how bad has

633
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: the running back position been the last couple of years.

634
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: If he stays healthy twelve games of love Bell, I

635
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: mean he's gonna push for the top. He's he'll be

636
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: in the top five. He's gonna be in the top

637
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: five and a hundred and seventy eight yards by himself.

638
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I mean he's already ahead of well,

639
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you could have not saying much. All right, listen,

640
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: listen to this. This is Todd Gurley's had eighty two

641
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,959
Speaker 1: attempts two hundred sixteen rushing yards this year. Bell has

642
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 1: eighteen attempts at rushing exactly exactly. And by the way,

643
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: if D'Angelo didn't sneak that touchdown, love Bell has even

644
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: more points here, right exactly. Okay, So if love Bell

645
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: doesn't finish as the RB one, he finishes as the

646
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:14,640
Speaker 1: RB two. Factor fiction. Wow, I mean, sure, who cares.

647
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: Let's move on. We're splitting Marvin Jones Top five. Marvin Jones,

648
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: the wide receiver number three in the game right now,

649
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: is going to finish the top five wide receiver factor fiction. Fiction. Yeah,

650
00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: I love Marvin Jones. I'm gonna go with hard fiction here.

651
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: Hard fiction. I think you could finish as a top

652
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: twelve receiver. I was gonna say top fifteen I'd feel

653
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 1: very comfortable with. But yeah, I mean I think he

654
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: could be a wide receiver one just because of the

655
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: volume that he's getting there. I mean, Golden Tate literally

656
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: is not a factor. He played fifteen and they were

657
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: trying to make Golden Tate happen. They were trying to

658
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: stop it, and then and then they stopped though they

659
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: realized that they corrected they were trying, and then Golden

660
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: Tate was on the bench. Stafford was so upset after

661
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: that interception too. Yeah, that was one so angry and

662
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: after that. I mean, Jim Caldwell has denied it up

663
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 1: and down that they benched Golden Tate on Sunday show

664
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: his angry face when he said that, you mean the

665
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: same face he always I couldn't tell. I couldn't tell

666
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: if he was he was the sad phase or the

667
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 1: frustrated phase, looks like all the faces, but he Golden

668
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: Tape played I believe fifty nine percent of the snaps,

669
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: Bolden played eighty eight, and Andre Roberts played Marvin Jones

670
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: finishing the top five because I just think there are

671
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: other guys that are gonna be ahead of him. I mean,

672
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think Odell Beckham, Julio Jones, A j Green,

673
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, that's already four right there. And I think

674
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: that Dylan Robinson. I think Robinson has a has a

675
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:39,239
Speaker 1: better floor than Jones does. But I mean Jones has

676
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: a great floor too, you know, his two slow games

677
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: have been four for eighty five and five or seventy

678
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: four exactly, So I think that, I mean, it's not

679
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: out of the question, but I would say he's much

680
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: more of like a top ten, top twelve guy, because

681
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: especially if other if other players are going to not

682
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: step up, teams, Will will eventually have to start covering

683
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,239
Speaker 1: and playing. Jones is the number one, which I think

684
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: is kind of an overrated thing anyways to say, But

685
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,479
Speaker 1: at the same time, I just think that there are

686
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: other players that are more physically gifted and can take

687
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 1: games over. DeAndre Hopkins, who was drafted as a top

688
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: five wide receivers, currently the wide receiver number twenty five

689
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: in the game, or maybe he might be twenty four.

690
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 1: Either way, he's in the mid twenties somewhere. He had

691
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: just four yards in Week four. He's got less points

692
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: than Eddie Royal. DeAndre Hopkins will finish outside of the

693
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: top fifteen in Fantasy this year. I'm gonna say, I'm

694
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: gonna go fiction on that. Um. There will be a

695
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: correction coming at some point, especially as Will Fuller starts

696
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: to get more attention, and Fuller has played very well

697
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 1: and now it's at a point where defenses can't not

698
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: that they were ignoring him, but they do have to

699
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: start to give him a little extra attention and make

700
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: sure that he can't continue to be that big play guy.

701
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: So things will hopefully loosen up a little bit on

702
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: on Nuke. So I think you see him knock on

703
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: the door and crack into the top fifteen, anybody, I

704
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: I gotta go fiction as well. I think he's also

705
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: a baffling call away from having another touchdown in forty

706
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: yards or whatever in his pocket in in the early

707
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: portion of the season. And you know, when Harvard was

708
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: Harmon was mentioned. The kind of wide receivers that can

709
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: take over a game, that's Nuke. He did it with

710
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: horrific quarterback play at times last year. We're still posted

711
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: good lines with like t J. Yates and stuff. So

712
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be one of those cases.

713
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: It was probably an overcorrection coming where Nuke might be

714
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: chirping a little bit of practice. Bill O'Brien's calling the

715
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: play is to give him a bunch more. I don't

716
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna you know, he's not gonna probably crack

717
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: the top ten, but in that ten to fifteen range.

718
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we just talked about Alshon Jeffrey Kevin. Why.

719
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's clear at this point we're four

720
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 1: games in. It's clear brock cos Weiler is favoring will Fuller.

721
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: It is the one thing I will say that's concerning,

722
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: and I think it speaks to what Harmon talked about

723
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: at the beginning of your and Galhart talked about it

724
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: to at the start of the year, the regression coming

725
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: because of the number of targets that Hopkins had last year.

726
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: And I think I saw J J. Zacharies and tweet

727
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: this morning that last year, DeAndre Hopkins had a thirty

728
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: target share for the season. This year it's down to

729
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: that's that's a notable difference. He's he's on pace for

730
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirty two through four games, and which

731
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: is great. Now four games, I think I feel like

732
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,320
Speaker 1: we can use on pace and legitimate with it semi legitimate,

733
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: but you know, he's on page for a hundred thirty

734
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 1: two targets. He had a hundred and ninety two last year.

735
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: A drop of sixty is catastrophic. Uh So I'm going

736
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: to present the other side and think say that that's

737
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: absolutely a legitimate possibility. I mean, new can take over games,

738
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,879
Speaker 1: but because this team is running less plays. They ran

739
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: seventy five or sixty five plays last week in Week four,

740
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: and that's not what they were doing in the first

741
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,919
Speaker 1: half of last year when he was absolutely taking games over.

742
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 1: And even in the last half of last year when

743
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: he was still the clear number one target hog. You know,

744
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 1: they were playing more defense. They're playing better defense, we're

745
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: playing running better running the ball, and he was a

746
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver twelve. So I think that it's absolutely possible

747
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: he could drop out of the top fifteen. Uh. This

748
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: defense is is still going to be very good even

749
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: if J. J. Watt's not there. They are going to

750
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: continue to give Lamar Miller of the ball. So there

751
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,800
Speaker 1: are weeks where Hopkins is gonna see like six targets.

752
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: So wouldn't shock me at allf he finishes outside of

753
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: the top fifteen, Megain, it wouldn't shock finishes inside. But

754
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: I think it's a very real possibility. All right, there

755
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: you go, Let's play a little in the words of

756
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: Silky Johnson, hate hate hate. Uh. Let me give you

757
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: some stats here and we'll talk about what they mean

758
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,439
Speaker 1: and fantasy Ryan Fitzpatrick had nine interceptions over his last

759
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: two games. Nine interceptions, one touchdown over his last two games.

760
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: He's the first to throw nine plus interceptions in a

761
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 1: two game span since Steve de Bergh in nineteen eighties six. Now,

762
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: I just want to throw the stat out there because

763
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: it was historically bad Steve Debark nineteen six. Uh, the

764
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: last time a quarterback through nine interceptions in two games.

765
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,840
Speaker 1: But what does it mean for the passing offense here?

766
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall did get that touchdown, but this offense, boy,

767
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: it has not looked good. Uh the last two games. Well,

768
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: I mean from a receiver standpoint, receptions don't necessarily hurt you,

769
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,399
Speaker 1: except for the fact that you know the team doesn't

770
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: have the ball anymore exactly at least that at least

771
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 1: that's matter for fantasy for your receiver. If you have

772
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback, then that's about Uh. You know, I don't

773
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: know that it matters there either. I think the only

774
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: the only thing I need. The bigger issue for the Jets,

775
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: not the bigger issue, but one of the big issues

776
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: the fact that their defense, their secondary in particular, has

777
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: been really awful, really bad. I feel like they're pass

778
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: rushing their front seven have been okay, their secondary has

779
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: really struggled. So what it means is that regardless of

780
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: what's going on with Fitzpatrick throwing the ball to the

781
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: wrong color jersey all the time, they're going to have

782
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: to keep throwing it as long as they're giving up points.

783
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to keep throwing it to stay in games.

784
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: But how does that not affect Matt Forte. I think

785
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: it does affect Forte. I would take that side of it,

786
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 1: But the Jets are tent in the league in past attempts.

787
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: The secondary regressing is a really good point by Marcus.

788
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: Like Quincy and noon One instead of Eric Decker for

789
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: the time being and Brandon Marshall are going to have

790
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: and it's such a highly concentrated offense that those guys

791
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: really aren't going to be too affected. But I don't

792
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,479
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see many games with its Patrick turning

793
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: the ball over, with the d C defensive secondary giving

794
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 1: up big plays that bat fourt is gonna have twenty

795
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: rushing attempts or or like he did in the first

796
00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: two games. I don't think there's gonna be a lot

797
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: of games like that. That's uh. I would agree with that.

798
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Todd Gurley. Let's give you a Todd

799
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: Gurley up to of course it's gonna fit into the

800
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: hate hate hate segment. Eighty two yards in week four,

801
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: thirty three yards rushing on nineteen carries. That's one point

802
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: seven yard per carry average. Right now, he is the

803
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: RB number twenty three. He's got seven more Fantasy points

804
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,799
Speaker 1: than Terrence West. F y. I I mean, obviously the

805
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,439
Speaker 1: RAMS own is Brian Quick. I mean that's what we said,

806
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: we thought everybody to be in the season. Go get

807
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: Brian Quick. He's a second round pick. I mean, right,

808
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: that's that's that's what we all talked about. Right. Uh No,

809
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: now we did not that is incorrect. Uh, Todd Gurley,

810
00:39:58,680 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: What do you do with Todd Gurley at this point?

811
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I think the window to trade him as

812
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: pretty much gone. Told you to sell high on him

813
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 1: last week. That was that was the moment. And even

814
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: if you do sell them, right, like, what are you

815
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: getting back? I don't know what you're getting much. I

816
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: mean that's what I'm saying. If you have Todd Gurley

817
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: and somebody's like, hey, I'll give you Brian Quick and

818
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 1: Terence West you're gonna say no, yeah, it's like you're

819
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: not You're not doing that. It's like, so I think

820
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: both sides would kind of be stuck. If you're a

821
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: girly owner, you don't want to trade him for nothing.

822
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: That being said, if you're trying to trade for him,

823
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: you're not going to give up a lot to go

824
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: get Todd Gurley because he's been so bad. So I

825
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: feel like in the trade market, you're you're pretty much

826
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: stuck with Todd Gurley. That's gonna happen, is you know

827
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: we do the would have could have showed a segment

828
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Live on Mondays, there's going to be a

829
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: week where we're going to get flooded with Tod. Like

830
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,720
Speaker 1: I sat Todd Gurley and you know, lo and behold

831
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: he actually had twenty five points this week. Because that

832
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 1: game is going to happen, and it could conceivably have

833
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: in this coming week or even the week after. They

834
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: play the Bills and the Lions in the next two weeks.

835
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 1: Neither one of those defenses have been particularly impressed, especially Detroit.

836
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: So there's gonna be another cell high window, I think,

837
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 1: and I think that's when you take it all right,

838
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: even if you can get whatever, like whatever usable asset

839
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: you can get, I feel like you because you should

840
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: get out of it because and I know this was

841
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: like my stance at the beginning in the season. So

842
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 1: this was the harm and fire tip. And it's not

843
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 1: like it's not like confirmation bias. But there's literally no

844
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: over selling what a disaster of a top five pick

845
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: he has been. This this comes across my timeline this morning.

846
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,399
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley is the first running back in NFL history

847
00:41:40,440 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: with eight plus carries in his team's first four games

848
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 1: and yards per carry under two point seven five. I mean,

849
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 1: just so then you know these games are coming. By

850
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: the way, yesterday's game too, right, doesn't that that should

851
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 1: have been a Todd Gurley type game. It's close, they're

852
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: gonna feed him the ball. I mean they gave him

853
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: what nineteen carries. This is a Todd Gurley type of

854
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,879
Speaker 1: game here where you're thinking, Okay, this guy could break

855
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: out a little bit. Last year, didn't you have like

856
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty yards or something on the cardinal so

857
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 1: it was it was possible. This seemed to me. You

858
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 1: talk about negative game scrip. This was not a negative

859
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 1: game scrip for Todd Gurley. It's just the kind of

860
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: game that Todd Gurley should have played. Well. He actually

861
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: had five catches too, which was a career high. I

862
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 1: think it was only the oh my god, but that

863
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: all came because Benny Cunningham was hurt. Like that's something

864
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: you can't even really be encouraged about. His longest run

865
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: of the day, by the ways, five yards, six yards

866
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: total touches, total yards, like what well in the game

867
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: script has actually favored him because the last couple of

868
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: weeks the Rams have gotten out to a lead, They've

869
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: been in close games where they don't have to just

870
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: drop back and sling the ball all over the place.

871
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's a combination of defense

872
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: is scheming to stop him or pour offensive line play,

873
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: but whatever it is, I think it's both of those.

874
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: I saw a lot of tweets earlier today of screen

875
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: grabs of nine guys in the box to stop Gurley.

876
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: Although I think I look, I was looking at like

877
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: our next gen stat stuff. I don't even He's not

878
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: even like, you know, far and away the number one

879
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: facing you know, stack boxes, like Garrett Blunt has faced

880
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: more stack boxes, I think than Todd Gurley, or at

881
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: least he did in Week three, and we've still seen

882
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 1: Lagatt Blunt get off. You combine comb the line a lot,

883
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: the line has a lot. You combine that with a

884
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: with an underperforming line now and it's a recipe for disaster.

885
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: I think when I was on the Couchesterday, he talked

886
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: about how Todd Gurley is averaging like the second lowest

887
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: yards before contact in the league. Like he's getting a

888
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 1: half a yard before somebody's hitting him. That's like, that's

889
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 1: like he's getting the football and getting hit. And you know,

890
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,399
Speaker 1: it also scares me to like, even if this could

891
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,319
Speaker 1: eventually get right, the fact he's getting hit so much.

892
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:49,640
Speaker 1: They're the number one correlation to injuries workload, So I

893
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: mean this could like I'm not I don't want to

894
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: jinx the guy, but like this could be a situation

895
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: where it's like he could get injured at any moment

896
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 1: and he has an injury history. I'm no football genius,

897
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: but I feel like if you get hit a lot,

898
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: your chances of getting hurt so up right, if I

899
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,080
Speaker 1: punch you in the eye over and over again, the

900
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: longer I keep punching you in the eye, eventually it's

901
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: gonna go black. Right, very good point. John Cohn. By

902
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: the way, touchdowns what John Coon, the specter of John

903
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: Coon lives. He immediately jumped to the top. I'm this week,

904
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,759
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start putting out my quarter pole watch list

905
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: for some of my Fantasy awards, the Zack Crockett Award,

906
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: which goes to Fantasy Vulture of the Year. John Coon

907
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: has rocketed to the top the top of the Zack

908
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: Crockett Award watch list. Three touchdowns for New Orleans. Now,

909
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: not the best part was the last one. He legit

910
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: intercept the past that was going to Kobe Fleaner. Yeah,

911
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 1: it was not intended for him. He jumped up, snagged it,

912
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: tackled at the one, and then gets the ball again

913
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: to go intchdown. So even people have had Kobe Fleaner

914
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: and we're like, well, at least he can maybe catch

915
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Nope, no, no, yeah, all right? Uh. Can

916
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 1: I also say this about the people were asking me

917
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: about Fleaner because you know, he had a good game

918
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 1: when Snead was out. I don't think it can be

919
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: understated that when Snead is in, Fleaner does not get

920
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: a lot of high quality looks. No. No, the week

921
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: the week Sneed was out, I think Fleaner had I

922
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: think eleven targets that week and that was when he

923
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 1: had his big game yesterday that dropped back down. I

924
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: think five targets, five targets, three catches, and again I

925
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 1: don't even know how high quality those targets are, right,

926
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 1: I mean, I didn't watch the game front to back,

927
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: but um, you know sometimes Drew Brees will have a

928
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: little bit bail out throw and if you know Fleaners

929
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 1: over there, maybe, But what's snead in there? Man? I'm

930
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: telling you, I just I don't believe in Fleaner. I

931
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: just don't believe in him, especially his role in that offense.

932
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't believe there is nothing predictable

933
00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: about the Saints offense. Michael Thomas led the team and

934
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver snaps uh last last week. And Brandon Cooks,

935
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: by the way, six catches a hundred forty three yards,

936
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: two touchdowns a week one since then, twelve catches hundred

937
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,479
Speaker 1: and twelve yards and no scores. One after your fault

938
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 1: you drafted Brandon Cooks. I mean, I I don't like

939
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: highly player, highly volatile player. This is who he is.

940
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: He's on and he's another on paced guy for under

941
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,520
Speaker 1: a hundred thirty targets. Like people in my mentions all

942
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: summer telling me I was wrong about Brandon Cooks, like, oh,

943
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: who get a hundred forty targets? Well, but no he's not.

944
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 1: He's not gonna happen. Sorry, I don't want to watch

945
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: some tea. I like mark Ingram. Mark Ingram is is

946
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 1: getting back on the right track, though twenty four touches

947
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: a hundred and five yards and a touchdown for the

948
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: second week in a row, six catches for forty nine yards,

949
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 1: and he probably should have had more right like in

950
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 1: terms of touches because of John Couture. I do love

951
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: how mark Ingram's name gets said and everybody kind of

952
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: turns to look at James. It's a good point, Franchis.

953
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, because I Harmon and

954
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: I talked about a little bit last night after work too.

955
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: I saw a friend Pat Thorman had tweeted that Ingram's

956
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: targets had basically gone up every week he was targeted

957
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,919
Speaker 1: like two times, four times, six times, and seven times

958
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: and he's caught two four, four, and six of those,

959
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: so I feel like they've course correct a little bit.

960
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: In the backfield, they were like, we're gonna give it

961
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: to all these guys, and like, wow, all the other

962
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: players suck and we have this really good back named

963
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,759
Speaker 1: mark Ingram here. Let's actually give him more touches. All right,

964
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: we'll see, we shall see, we shall see. Top performers

965
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: from week four, by the way, on pace is on

966
00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,320
Speaker 1: pace for about eight hundred and seventy rushing yards. Just definitely,

967
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: I oh, never had a thousand yards. Is that your narrative?

968
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,359
Speaker 1: It's weird in it. He's never had Top performers for

969
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 1: for Week four at quarterback position. Matt Ryan five hundred yards,

970
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, Big Bend three hundred and five touchdowns. Home

971
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: in a way splits for Big Ben. That's not that

972
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: game is not going to help them. I mean, it's silly.

973
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: It is absolutely silly. The home and road splits for

974
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: the Steeler's offense, in particular for Big Ben. It's just ridiculous.

975
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson shockingly in the top five. Russell Wilson three

976
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,239
Speaker 1: hundred passing yards in three touchdowns. He looked like he

977
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: was moving well for having two injured knees. Whatever it is.

978
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: This comes from next gen stats too. He had eighty

979
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 1: four point four percent of his play inside the pocket,

980
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: twenty completions, seven attempts, two yards, and one touchdown. So

981
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 1: damn all you people who say Russell Wilson's not a

982
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: pocket pill, damn you real quick aside, Like the people

983
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: said that last year too, But when he went on

984
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: his towards stretch, it was almost all from the pocket.

985
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,800
Speaker 1: He was not freestyling and balling out and running around

986
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: like that's a that's a lazy narrative. People want to

987
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: rely on the Russell Wilson can sling it from the

988
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:26,279
Speaker 1: pocket lazy. Although the free styling, though, is what gets

989
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: them those extra That's what made some special exactly. But

990
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:32,439
Speaker 1: he can stand in the pocket and throw it. Number

991
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,160
Speaker 1: Derek Carr also in your top five. Here a hun

992
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: passing yards, which isn't great, But you know what is

993
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: great towns Buddy H. Cooper, you have to you have

994
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: to find still does not have a touchdown this year? Uh?

995
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 1: Is that right? Ye? Seth Roberts has three. Seth Roberts

996
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: countree is five. He has four. I wrote about that

997
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: in Deep Dive Seth Roberts owns like eleven percent of

998
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 1: the team targets and has thirty three of the touchdow

999
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: zone is five targets in the red everybody butt Amari

1000
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: Cooper is a red zone weapon in that Crabtree has

1001
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 1: three touchdowns zone Seth Roberts has. It's it's become, but

1002
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 1: like it's becoming one of those things that like his rookie,

1003
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,000
Speaker 1: it's like, that's strange. Why wasn't he used more often

1004
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: in the red zone? Two? Now we're here into the

1005
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: middle or not the middle point, but the quarter point

1006
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: of his second season, We're like, that's strange. When it

1007
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: starts to get that long, it's you kind of have

1008
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 1: to wonder, maybe that's just not where they want to

1009
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,120
Speaker 1: use him. I love that. It's just a stake in

1010
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: the heart to Niner fans too, that they continually throw

1011
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: fade routes to Crabtree and he continually pulls him in

1012
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: for I don't care, suck it. Michael crab favorite receivers.

1013
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: I like them. In San Francisco, he was like good receiver.

1014
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: It's just that, you know, it's just the fade route

1015
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: in particularly touchdown. It's such a stake in the heart,

1016
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,320
Speaker 1: so many opportunities, losing to Seattle, losing to the super

1017
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: It's so funny. At the running back position, DeMarco Murray

1018
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: continues to impress a hundred nineteen total yards you touchdowns.

1019
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott really came on in the second half man

1020
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: nearly a hundred and sixty total yards there, uh and

1021
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: had a score as well. Matt Jones, Matt flipping Jones

1022
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: had a hundred and forty yards and a touch and

1023
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:18,480
Speaker 1: the Crow flew The Crow flew thirty four total yards

1024
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. Isaiah Crow, Well, late, isn't I told

1025
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: you he would? It was from the fiery phoning? Was

1026
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: that not from the fiery phone? He was? Why you

1027
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 1: guys should have seen me. I was standing in my

1028
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: living room my boxers Hason around the room. I'm like, telling,

1029
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: your dog's got to be looking at you, like, what

1030
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: the hell is? It was ridiculous that I definitely I'm

1031
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: glad you confirmed that because that's exactly how I picture

1032
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 1: those fires. You clearly pantsless, potentially already drinking whiskey, Cheeto dorrito,

1033
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: dust's already on the on the table, perfect and just

1034
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: just screaming I love I love it. I absolutely love it.

1035
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 1: At the wide receiver position we know about Julio three,

1036
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: I just laugh at myself real quick for and plenty

1037
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: of podcast listeners have tweeted me about this that I

1038
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: just raised the concern about Julio Jones is the top

1039
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: five receiver last podcast. Then he drops three a touch

1040
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: that's just like perfectly, And I tweeted back to all

1041
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: those people like, yeah, it looks pretty stupid in hindsight,

1042
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: and Matt Harmon, who was an idiot, right, perfect, just

1043
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: a perfect reminder of life, never take this stuff too

1044
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: serious because that that was and that's one of the

1045
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: things like to also just a piece of advice to

1046
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: that you're ever trying to get into this business, like

1047
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: don't watch the games and like tilt on your calls

1048
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: because it's just you're gonna they're gonna have a miserable

1049
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: you're not gonna enjoy like watching Julio Jones just drop

1050
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: nuts all over this, all over the Panthers. Secondary It's

1051
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: so it's just it was just it was almost kind

1052
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: of funny. It's it's pretty funny too because people do

1053
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: come back to me and say, ah, what horrible advice

1054
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,319
Speaker 1: you gave and I'm like, I don't even know what

1055
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: advice I gave. What did I say? I mean, I

1056
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 1: don't even know at this point, black out during some

1057
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: of this. Seriously, I mean, look, I try to answer him.

1058
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: I just I don't even know. Uh, Michael Crabtree eight yards,

1059
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: which is okay, the goat three touchdowns. That's more than okay,

1060
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: that's more than okay. A J. Green a hundred seventy

1061
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 1: three yards in a touch Brian Quick made this list.

1062
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 1: Brian Quick, quick man two touchdowns, that's why touchdowns quick yards.

1063
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: I can't believe he made this list of top performers.

1064
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: Get Brian Quick out of here? Can we can we

1065
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: talk about Brian buying? We can talk about Brian Well.

1066
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:38,520
Speaker 1: I would say no, no no, no, I would say don't

1067
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: rush out to buy it either. And I wrote it

1068
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,239
Speaker 1: this deep dive. It's because everybody's gonna want to be

1069
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: quick to go and get him because he has three touchdowns.

1070
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: The fact the matter is he's yet to play like

1071
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 1: over six of the snaps and he's he's seeing like

1072
00:52:55,800 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: three two five targets game two of us three sounds

1073
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:03,279
Speaker 1: like come on, busted, custed plays. Whereas Kenny Britt has

1074
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 1: led the team in wide receiver snaps almost every week

1075
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 1: and has had like four for sixty seven in three

1076
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,239
Speaker 1: of the four games. As possible breakout coming. Yes, he

1077
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: has yet to find the end zone right, but he's

1078
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: been the much more consistent. Uh he ellens like of

1079
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: the targets and stuff. I'm not saying it's great. I'm

1080
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: saying if you're in a deep league and you need

1081
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: to get a wide receiver, don't chase the points with

1082
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: Brian Quick. Chase the consistent production and field, you know,

1083
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: playing time with Kenny Brat. Here's why I want to

1084
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: talk out of both ends of my mouth here in

1085
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: this in this segment, because you're right, you shouldn't go

1086
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 1: out and chase it and think that this is like

1087
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: a huge thing that's about to happen. Because he did

1088
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 1: play and then of the snaps in the last two weeks,

1089
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: he's only seen eight targets through those two games. But

1090
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: if somebody is going to be a difference maker in

1091
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: the Rams passing game, it is gonna be Brian Quick.

1092
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: You know, he was off to a great start. One

1093
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: of the best quotes is from Marcus Grant about his

1094
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: Dynasty team and Brian Quick in two thousand and fourteen.

1095
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: What what did you say? Like by but this is

1096
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: the team is looking pretty good until Brian Quick got hurt.

1097
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: Yeah right, I mean that just shows. But he was

1098
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,720
Speaker 1: bawling out in the early part of two thousand fourteen

1099
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: also prices its song about you dyansy team. But like

1100
00:54:10,960 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 1: he was aso a really good start, had a significant

1101
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:16,359
Speaker 1: shoulder injury that almost ended his career and cost him

1102
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: a ton of times. He cost him his effectives in

1103
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen, but again barely made the team. He's

1104
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: not really playing. But I'm so stupid that I will, like,

1105
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I love Brian Quick for him, but I

1106
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 1: would get Kenny Britt now. But hope Brian Quick starts

1107
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: to play more later. I mean, isn't that the Isn't

1108
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: that the case though? Right, Like Brian Quick could come

1109
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: around right Like, he's six four pounds. It's not like

1110
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,440
Speaker 1: Britt's Tavon Austin size. No, no, no, he's a big

1111
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: guy though, Kenny Britt. He's also a little bit older Bryan.

1112
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: Brian Quick is a younger dude. I mean, I don't know.

1113
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: The athletic profile for Brian Quick is legit. Yeah, um,

1114
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: kind of would Matt Harmonton, I wouldn't. Look. If I'm

1115
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 1: gonna add anybody, it's not gonna be Kenny Brett. No,

1116
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: we've seen that movie. That's what I'm saying. That's what

1117
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:04,319
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm not I'm not buying the sequel, you

1118
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean. This is kind of funny though,

1119
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: because you mentioned like Kenny Britt is an older guy.

1120
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: He's been in the league longer, but he's twenty eight

1121
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: years only is he? Is? He you're younger seven? I

1122
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: was just I was just because it was like absurdly

1123
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: young when he's crazy, man, that's crazy. Yeah. Wow. I

1124
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 1: feel like he's been in the league since the freaking

1125
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: I feel like he should be as old as an

1126
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: Kuan Bold or something, you know. I mean he's been

1127
00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:30,200
Speaker 1: in the in the league since he's been in the

1128
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 1: league for eight years, so he came in when he

1129
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: was like a young twenty year old. But they're like

1130
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: basically the same player. I mean, you're both six three,

1131
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:42,280
Speaker 1: about two twenty, you know, big, same age, big fast, underachievers.

1132
00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, how about the time end position your top performers.

1133
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: Jordan Reid got back on track big time. Seventy three

1134
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 1: receiving yards to touchdowns. They finally started looking for him

1135
00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:55,080
Speaker 1: again in the red zone. Um, and shockingly, he caught

1136
00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: those balls in the red zone. I know it's a

1137
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,160
Speaker 1: it's a surprise. He is the just throws. You're a

1138
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: good players, player of the week. I know it makes

1139
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: weird that weird that when they started targeting Jordan Read

1140
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: in the red zone instead of Jamison Crowder, who is

1141
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 1: about as big as James over here. Uh, they started

1142
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns. Weird. I know it's odd. Greg Olson continues

1143
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 1: his fine place seventy six receiving yards in a touchdown

1144
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: and a two point converge, which obviously means that Derick

1145
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,439
Speaker 1: Anderson needs to be the starting quarterback in Carolina going forward.

1146
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: They got they got their best quarterback under center. Olson

1147
00:56:28,520 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: saw thirteen targets, but but when Cam was on the field,

1148
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 1: legitimately he had four targets for no catches. Well they're

1149
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: playing a little come back, but I don't know, No,

1150
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 1: it was just it was just it goes to show you,

1151
00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: like how obviously we're exaggerating. People do not at us.

1152
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: You can you can, you can add me. The problem is,

1153
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: like I really shouldn't talk this much junk on the

1154
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: Panthers because like so many Panthers people follow me like, oh,

1155
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,239
Speaker 1: this is gonna end up bad for me. I'm just

1156
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 1: joking kind of Hunter Henry there in San Diego. Yeah, buddy,

1157
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 1: Ricky moved question for you. Do you want to watch

1158
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: some tea? Yes, yes, honey, Yes, that'd be fantastic yards

1159
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: and a touchdown almost had almost had twice to he

1160
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: is your number took it away from fantasy tight end. Uh,

1161
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. Can we talk about Jimmy Graham. I think

1162
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: he's back. Look back to back hundred plus yard performances

1163
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Graham. He was your number four fantasy tight

1164
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 1: end this week. Um, is he back? Yes, yes, just

1165
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: definitively back. Yeah. Yeah, he led We're back, led the

1166
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: team in targets in week four after it's his His

1167
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: was his second consecutive a hundred yard game. First time

1168
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: that's happened, I think since two thousand thirteen, the first

1169
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,640
Speaker 1: time that's happening in Yeah. Absolutely. But just also with

1170
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: Wilson being more stationary, staying in the pocket, that's great point.

1171
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: He's just throwing more traditional quarterback passes and just delivering it,

1172
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 1: dropping it right in the bucket for Jimmy Graham there

1173
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: in contested situations, which you know, I think we've said

1174
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 1: that for when he first started showing up in week

1175
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: How about that first catch he had, the one handed

1176
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: blowing away he looks, Oh my god, he looks like

1177
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. And I mean just talking about like watching

1178
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: a guy play, like back when he was on it

1179
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 1: with the Saints, he was one guy that you watched

1180
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: him play like, especially again watching the Panthers so much

1181
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: like every time they would play each other, which just

1182
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: be like, holy hell, we don't have anybody they can

1183
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,240
Speaker 1: cover that guy. He's that type of player that's just

1184
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 1: like menacing. What a smooth athlete he is. But I

1185
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: think it's says he used to play basketball. Wait wait,

1186
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know this, but I

1187
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: was doing some research. Dug it out. Jimmy Graham used

1188
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: to play basketball. This is the first time hearing How

1189
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,200
Speaker 1: How has our research team not been on this. We

1190
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 1: have a whole group of researchers. How does nobody know this?

1191
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: How are you the first to uncover this? Just on

1192
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,720
Speaker 1: that grind, guys, I mean, it makes sense. I mean

1193
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: we saw it with Antonio Gates. Yeah no, I mean

1194
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: who also, by the way, played a little basketball. Oh no,

1195
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: come on, breaking, that's why should we hit a couple

1196
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 1: of waiver wire guys? Will you so? I mean, obviously

1197
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 1: some big names off the top. If people didn't pick

1198
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: up Jordan Howard or Bilal Powell or Terence West in

1199
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 1: your league, go ractify that immediately. Uh, Steve Smith, But

1200
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: you still believe in Terence West even though Kenneth Dixon

1201
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,880
Speaker 1: is supposed to come back, Yes, Terence, Terence West looked great?

1202
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: Or your are your expectations for Kenneth Dixon finally in

1203
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: line with reality? I even said that I never said

1204
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: he was going to come in and take over everything.

1205
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm actually I'm actually, I'm actually joking with you. But

1206
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: there are there were absolutely people on Twitter that believe

1207
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: that Kenneth Dixon is going to come back and be

1208
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 1: this year's David Johnson without question. And it's just the

1209
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 1: good Lord go that far. Not even that, but even

1210
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: like even like a light version of this year's David

1211
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: Johnson would be outrageous. I love Kenny. I'm trolling Gilhard

1212
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,320
Speaker 1: a little bit, but for for God's sakes. I mean,

1213
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 1: there have been so many people that just been outrageous

1214
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: with Kenneth Dixon expectations the pretty much basically since he's

1215
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: been drafted. All Yeah, I think he's gonna come in

1216
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: and have a role, and if West sputters, he could

1217
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,959
Speaker 1: take over more. But West looked great. He's a good

1218
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 1: between the tackle runner. He's shown extra excellent quickness and

1219
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: vision so far. He was going to I mean this

1220
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,320
Speaker 1: preseason it was the East Coast version of the Awakening. Yes,

1221
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: people talked about Terrence West the way they were talking

1222
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 1: about Christen Michael in Seattle. But pick up him if

1223
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 1: he's available. Keneth Pixon too. I mean, right now, the

1224
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Baltimore backfields is awful catching passes and doing stuff with it,

1225
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: which is a huge part of Trustman's offense. There they've

1226
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: got a hundred and sixty seven yards on thirty six targets.

1227
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: Right justin forts a drop right? Oh yes, get ready?

1228
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: I mean the Ravens dropped him. Yeah, So I mean

1229
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: I'm just saying he's a drop again. You could read

1230
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: all of my things. I think it profiled something like

1231
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: thirty six guys over the last two days. NFL Dot

1232
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: com Slash Waivers and NFL dot com slash Deep Dive

1233
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: Steve Smith speaking of the Ravens like he's led the

1234
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: team in targets each the last two weeks and crazy.

1235
01:00:40,280 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 1: He it's insane. He's thirty seven year old coming off

1236
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: a ruptured achilles, and he doesn't look at he's lost

1237
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: step at all. Can I can I just like take

1238
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 1: this moment right now to publicly apologize to Steve Smith,

1239
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: who is who was certainly going to listen to this

1240
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: part obviously, along with all the other players, like John

1241
01:00:55,240 --> 01:01:00,080
Speaker 1: Brown's my best friend, like the fact I Steve that

1242
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: is literally my favorite football player of all time former Caroline.

1243
01:01:04,120 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: I've written about that, like what he meant to me

1244
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: as a player on my website before. It's just like

1245
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: the only player that I actually makes me feel anything

1246
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: because I'm dead inside. Uh is Steve Smith. I can't confirm.

1247
01:01:15,960 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: Thank you, French. I appreciate that, and I just want

1248
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,760
Speaker 1: to extend this moment to please beg for forgiveness because

1249
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:23,920
Speaker 1: I doubted Steve. I didn't think you would ever play again.

1250
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 1: I didn't think I mean either. I mean they said

1251
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: his his achilles was like a shredded chicken. But not

1252
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 1: only is he playing more and playing well this week.

1253
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tweet this out eventually, but his next gen

1254
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 1: stats route chart from week three to week four shows

1255
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: and running a lot more downfield routes, getting downfield and everything.

1256
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: So I mean, just my god, what a story. It's

1257
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: like a thousand years old. Is he gonna play next year? Right?

1258
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:50,440
Speaker 1: But he maybe? But to speak to some of these

1259
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 1: we can get to DAPs Don chell In Men's a

1260
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:54,320
Speaker 1: guy that should be on the radar. Everybody was quick

1261
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: to pick up Tyrell Williams and stuff in Men's actually

1262
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,520
Speaker 1: led the team in wide receiver snaps each of the

1263
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: last three weeks, and then this was the first time

1264
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: where he saw a wealth of targets. Don't sure if

1265
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: that's not sure if it's gonna hold up week to week,

1266
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:06,919
Speaker 1: but he's got to get Robert Woods. We we were

1267
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: talking about not trusting anybody in the Bills passing game,

1268
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: but for deeper leagues, He's actually seen pcent of Tyrod's

1269
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: UH targets the last two weeks and about almost of

1270
01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 1: the yards have gone his way. So it's not going

1271
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 1: to be a very high upside play. But for four

1272
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: on a on a week like this week where the Saints,

1273
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 1: the Jags, the Chiefs, and the Seahawks are all out

1274
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: with a lot of big name wide receivers that people

1275
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 1: have on their rosters. Interesting, if you need to say

1276
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: floor play. Robert Woods is not a horrible ad uh

1277
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,640
Speaker 1: tight ends hunter Henry's Marcus said, Richard Rogers not the

1278
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: most exciting play, but the Giants have gotten abused over

1279
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. Tight ends. Let's go Jared

1280
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Jared Cook is out if the Packers and he's terrible.

1281
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: Rip Rogers, baby, let's go. A little bit of col

1282
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: bias coming through the Let's go they play the Eagles.

1283
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: Zach ERTs birth, he's back, Trey Burton maybe yeah, I

1284
01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: read that zach Ertz is now healthy. He is expected

1285
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: to play um and then speak of the Eagles. Carson

1286
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:03,960
Speaker 1: Wentz good streamer this week. And it's not pretty. But

1287
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer so far in two starts is thrown over

1288
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,640
Speaker 1: three yards and two touchdowns and each starts and gets

1289
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: the Colts this week. How is it possible that Brian

1290
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: Hoyer continues to live in the NFL, Because it is

1291
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 1: like it is NFL law that wherever Brian Hoyer goes,

1292
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:23,439
Speaker 1: He's gonna get It's true. It's it's so true. It's

1293
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 1: crazy Cleveland right above, right above, how nobody knows what

1294
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: it catches In the NFL by laws books that wherever

1295
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer goes, he will start and have fantasy relevant

1296
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 1: we and now let's cut to Dean Blandino explaining that

1306
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: looks like it's about to slam into Jamaica and Haities.

1307
01:04:19,280 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Is that the one that delayed the Tampa game? Uh? Probably,

01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: don't really have to deal with that on the West coast,

1312
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:35,680

Speaker 1: but there might be he can't survive too many more

1328
01:05:19,840 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: of these because week one it was a barn burner.

1329
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: This last weekend for Tennessee. These these are kind of

1330
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: games where when you're a die hard fan of a team,

01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: you don't mind pirating sorts of things like don't do that,

1348
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,360

1349
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 1: of it? Don't you dare pirate? Don't pirate it? Actually,

1350
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: do not pirate it because you know the paying for

1351
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: it means we get more great content like that. So,

1352
01:06:25,400 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: but find a way to watch it legally of some matter.

1353
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: But it's it's really interesting, you know. What we need

1354
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 1: to made me think about that though, is I wanted

1355
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: to watch it last night. Harmon and I are kind

1356
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: of like, but we should find the old original like

1357
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 1: seventies movie because it is based on the Michael Crichton film.

1358
01:06:42,000 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: You should watch that at a high life Friday. Yes,

1359
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: so there is that Harmon movie. I don't know that

1360
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: we only watch bad movies. Hif you can watch this

1361
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 1: an old interesting movie, well, first of all, it's supposed

1362
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:56,560
Speaker 1: to be. I can't imagine it's great, right because I

1363
01:06:56,600 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: would imagine these seventies version probably isn't quite as so

1364
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: only like ninety minutes long. So because they set up

1365
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,440
Speaker 1: this whole world and then get it funny because the

1366
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 1: first episode of the HBO show was like an hour plus. No,

1367
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: but I mean that's what I'm saying. In nineteen seventies

1368
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:15,600
Speaker 1: movie about futuristic stuff, it's like that can't be good. Yeah,

1369
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: because Star Wars sucked. I mean, I know it's a

1370
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,919
Speaker 1: long time ago, far far away. It's in the past,

1371
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: bro know, Like what are they like? Oh, those those

1372
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 1: stars toothbrush is cool and I just got roasted badly. There.

1373
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,680
Speaker 1: I'll take my lumps. I'll take my l there, I

1374
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: will take my il Uh Matt Hartmon, what's going on? Ah? Yeah,

1375
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it because I feel like I can

1376
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: safely do this desk because unlike my friends Steve Smith

1377
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,400
Speaker 1: and John Brown, I know none of my real friends

1378
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: listen to this show perfect, So I feel like I

1379
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: can give this DAPs out to. One of my closest

1380
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 1: friends from college told me on Friday, told me and

1381
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: our other really good friend from from school that he

1382
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 1: is going to go shopping and get in the gaping

1383
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 1: ring for his for his long time girlfriend. And I

1384
01:07:59,360 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 1: just this is very special because it's really like one

1385
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 1: of my first friends from school to get engaged. And

1386
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: one of my best friends did get married last summer,

1387
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: so that was cool, but like this was the guy

1388
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 1: in our friend group that was like you never got

1389
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,759
Speaker 1: him for that guy, it was just like the dog

1390
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: of all dogs in school. So it's just like and

1391
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 1: the fact, like again, the three of us at all

1392
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: had this conversation on Friday, like the other two of

1393
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: us were like, holy hell, how is it happening for

1394
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 1: him before like any of like nobody would have put

1395
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: money on that one. So it's a big, big ups

1396
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:35,519
Speaker 1: to him that he has for one trick, this girl

1397
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,320
Speaker 1: and staying with him this long and potentially marrying him.

1398
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: Very very good depths about them. They're very happy and

1399
01:08:40,560 --> 01:08:43,080
Speaker 1: it just makes me smile. There you go, all right,

1400
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: speaking of the fields, speaking of the emotions. H Daily

1401
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,839
Speaker 1: DAPs to Mark Sessler, who released a long form pieces

1402
01:08:49,880 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: called The Belichick Letters. It's basically a personal tale of

1403
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:57,600
Speaker 1: him in college where he wrote Bill Belichick, who was

1404
01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,880
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Cleveland Browns at the time. Uh,

1405
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: and the coach actually wrote him back a couple of

1406
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: different times. Um. He kind of talked about how these

1407
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,600
Speaker 1: letters helped guide him into his current career being a

1408
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: writer for NFL dot com. But oh my god, what

1409
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 1: an awesome peace this is. It's NFL dot com, it's

1410
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 1: got its own vanity, it's NFL dot com slash Belichick Letters.

1411
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:26,679
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, man, all the fields on this one.

1412
01:09:26,720 --> 01:09:32,040
Speaker 1: He taps into all of the insecurities, the listen, listlessness

1413
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 1: of youth, all of these things. And the one thing

1414
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 1: that I that I really appreciated about this as well.

1415
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a bro to enjoy sports

1416
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 1: and to enjoy football. And and I know there's a

1417
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: lot of like anti nerd stuff on Twitter, you're a nerd,

1418
01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: don't watch football. I hate when the nerds have taken

1419
01:09:55,240 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 1: over this game. Mark Sessler captures all of that. And

1420
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, man, what an unbelievably well written piece.
