1
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson.

2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: On your twenty four to seven home of the Black

3
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 2: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 3: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lolli. He is Matt Williamson, and

5
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 3: this is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio. It is

6
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 3: time for the Fantasy Football Focus and we will do

7
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 3: as we do every Wednesday, unless it was a Thursday game,

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 3: we will look at the uh, who's in and who's

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 3: out of practices this week. He mentioned the Steelers practice

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 3: report earlier today. Fletcher Cox did not practice on Wednesday

11
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: for the Philadelphia Eagles. He's dealing with a groin injury.

12
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: He's kind of he's more of a rotational guy now, Yeah,

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: but important.

14
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 4: He doesn't play a ton of snaps but yeah important.

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that might make their run defense a little

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: less scary. Yeah.

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 4: I it's a huge game. Huge game.

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: I mean right, uh Ezekiel Elliott with a thigh was

19
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: limited in practice on Wednesday.

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 4: That's significant because yeah, they play him a lot.

21
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: Yeah he played.

22
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 4: He's like, what snaps about that? Yeah, Stevenson's really getting

23
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 4: He's actually fantasy worthy lately. I mean they realized.

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: The interesting part of that is they you know, they

25
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: play on Sunday, then they got to come here Thursday.

26
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 3: Did Stevenson get to his full workload on Sunday? And

27
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: then they were, well.

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: We're gonna just Elliott to at least help him a

29
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: little yeah, spell him a little bit.

30
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's traded Pierre Strong.

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're rough everywhere. Oh yeah yeah.

32
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 3: Uh. Lane Johnson, Uh, he was limited in Wednesday's practice,

33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: the Eagles right tackle. But he's coming back, so that's

34
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 3: actually a positive.

35
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 5: Huge.

36
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 4: It looks like there's a good chance.

37
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah. Keenan Allen with a quad injury miss practice on Wednesday.

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: He's like a fantasy MVP. I mean he's he's like

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 4: two catches away from one hundred this year. Yeah, Fantasy gold,

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 4: Fantasy Golden. They're awful without him.

41
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like, well, the other receivers are hurt too.

42
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 4: Yeah. And Quentin Johnson they say is hurt, but I

43
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 4: think he's really benched, like they don't trust him at all.

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: Rashid Shahed with a thigh injury, did not practice on Wednesday.

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 3: That is significant because Chris Olave is in concussion protocol,

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: but he was limited today.

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 4: So he's making the first step.

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, well it doesn't mean he's been cleared though, no,

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 4: of course, so interesting eye on that one.

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: Who would be the guy to step up there if

52
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: they're missing Thomas is out? Yeah, the rookie from h.

53
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: Vanda Belt Perry at Perry he was he's been doing

54
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: the Michael Thomas stuff and Shaheed's been still the three.

55
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 4: One interesting kind of nugget maybe for DFS is I

56
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 4: think Jennings, the move tight end guy. Yeah, he's been

57
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 4: out I think, and he's back, so maybe they put

58
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 4: him in a slot more or something like that. Yeah,

59
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 4: I mean it's a little rough.

60
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 3: It is a little well they get him with. Somebody's

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: got to catch the football. Maybe it's maybe they throw

62
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: the ball to Kamara seventy two times.

63
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: I was thinking that too. Maybe they just I mean,

64
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 4: Carl loves to do that anyway.

65
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jerry Judy did not practice on Wednesday. Sean Payton

66
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: said Judy is fine and will practice tomorrow.

67
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 4: Okay, so this may have been He's a hard guy

68
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: to start in fantasy still, Yeah, Sutton's the only one

69
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 4: you really want.

70
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 3: Sutton's the guy. Quintin Johnston, the aforementioned one with the

71
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: rib injury, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday.

72
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think he's hurt. And they were kind

73
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 4: of making it look like he got pulled in the

74
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 4: game because he was quote hurt, But I think it's

75
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 4: because he's just not good.

76
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Devin et Chan was limited in Wednesday's practice. That's

77
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: a positive sign of heard.

78
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: Good news on this. I think that they're counting on

79
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 4: him firing back up right scares after after the.

80
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: Last one, he gets two touches and he's right out

81
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 3: of the game again. That hurt really bad.

82
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean.

83
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: I'm not going to say that killed my season because

84
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 3: I also lost Mark Andrews that same week. I killed

85
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 3: your weak I mean, there was no way I was

86
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 3: gonna win that week.

87
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: No, No, I mean there's nothing worse than somebody getting

88
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 4: hurt to be in the game.

89
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 3: Now they're playing Wonders. They're playing Washington this week.

90
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 4: Oh it sounds so good too. Yeah, it's like the

91
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 4: worst defense in the league. I'm playing them. Yeah, and

92
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 4: the Actually I'm torn if he plays, Like, here's my

93
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,840
Speaker 4: dilemma I have, like Locket, it's like him versus Lockett,

94
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 4: So I'm rolling with him and Lockett versus Cowboys On Thursday.

95
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: I don't love that. Yeah, yeah, none of it's great.

96
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 3: But you know, if you if you're just trying to

97
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: decide between Hen and I don't know, pick somebody who.

98
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 4: Some back that's solid.

99
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 3: How about you?

100
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 4: But Hubbard, I would say, Brian Robinson Robins. Yeah, they're

101
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 4: playing in that game. I might roll. I guess it depends.

102
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: I mean, are you playing a powerhouse and you need

103
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 4: to you know, he the whole run swing?

104
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess that's a better way to put it.

105
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 3: Do you need to take a swing for the fence?

106
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: Are you do you? Are you missing so many guys

107
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 3: on by or so many starters on buy that you

108
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 3: need a chand to go up to have one of

109
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 3: his thirty five point games?

110
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 4: Yeah?

111
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: Or are you're just looking for a floor?

112
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 4: Like? Are you pretty much in the playoffs? You're in

113
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: good shape. Let's just not screw this thing up.

114
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 3: Not like he's in that case, you might as well

115
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 3: play him because you get nothing to lose. I mean,

116
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: it's not like you're gonna play him and he's gonna

117
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: get hurt because you're playing him.

118
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 4: If you're a real good record, well yeah right, I

119
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 4: don't want to wear him out, right, save him for

120
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 4: the play. He doesn't know you're playing them, right.

121
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: But if you're playing an opponent who is who's got

122
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: like three or four guys off, Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe

123
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: you just go with the safe bet because I but

124
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 3: I can't have as a zero there because he gets

125
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 3: he gets two more carries out of the game.

126
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 4: Only chance of beating this opponent is if he goes.

127
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 5: Yeah.

128
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: I think that's the way to look at it, the.

129
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 4: Way to look at it.

130
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, Mostert, Well this might change things. He's dealing

131
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: with the ankle and knee injuries. He didn't practice on Wednesday.

132
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 4: That's massive. I mean, I didn't think there was anything

133
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 4: wrong with them.

134
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: So he's got forty three touches the last two games,

135
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: which is a lot of wear and tear on thirty

136
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: year old Marihem Mostert.

137
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 4: I mean he's a the top of list for me

138
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 4: of most likely to get hurt. Yeah, I mean his

139
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 4: injury for several weeks now, Yeah, I mean he is

140
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 4: no matter what two years ago this time he said

141
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 4: the same thing. But he said a lot of wear

142
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 4: and tear, And you wonder, I mean, if they're beating

143
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 4: Washington bad is Mostard even in the game the fourth quarter,

144
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 4: if he's fighting something. If he plays, doesn't mean to

145
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 4: lean on a chain, to be a chan to be

146
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 4: beattest and close the game.

147
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: So is Salvon auchmana guy that.

148
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 4: You I think Wilson, I think Okman's on I are Oh,

149
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 4: you're right, he is. You have Wilson sneaky guy to

150
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: have done right now, Okay, keep him in your back pocket.

151
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Tyreek Hill with an ankle, did not practice on Wednesday.

152
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 4: I bet it'll be right now.

153
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 3: I think he'll be okay. David Montgomery with that that

154
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: foot was limited in Wednesday's practic. Just remember that's what

155
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: he missed time earlier this year with uh they.

156
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 4: Played last Thursday. Yeah, so I think he'll be okay.

157
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 4: I think he'll be okay. I mean, he's been a

158
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 4: great story. But what's one thing to notice with that team,

159
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: They've turned the ball a ball over a lot lately.

160
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: Defense hasn't been quite as good as it was earlier

161
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 4: in the season, and it's become pretty obvious. Then when

162
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 4: they're losing, it's Gibson the game. You know, he's a

163
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 4: little bit of a more to the closer.

164
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 3: I think that I think Dan Campbell learned some things

165
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: in that loss to the Packers, like crazy going for

166
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: it and that kind of stuff. Yeah, just play ball,

167
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: don't get crazy. You don't have to do anything crazy.

168
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 3: You got a good football team, don't screw it up.

169
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, head coaching stuff you learn.

170
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 5: Uh.

171
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: Levante David did not practice on Wednesday for the Buccaneers.

172
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: That could be forget who they have this they're playing Carolina.

173
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: Okay, I mean he's a really good player, but that

174
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: doesn't mean I'm throwing Ubbard and all of a sudden, Yeah,

175
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 4: I mean he might have to either way.

176
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: It's a groin injury though. That's Uh, that's something keeping

177
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: eye on.

178
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 4: I wonder if they lose this game or do they

179
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: shut him down. I mean, that's a strange organization. So

180
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: I heard today like if the season ended, they'd have

181
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 4: like the seventh pick in the draft, but they could

182
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 4: win their division. Yeah, that's hard to do.

183
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 3: That's the whole division's awful. Traylon Burk's with concussion. Concussion

184
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: returned to practice on Wednesday.

185
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 4: I'm just kind of rooting that he can stay on

186
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: the field.

187
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 3: He can't. He hasn't been able to do it.

188
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 4: No, and he hasn't been great when he's out there.

189
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco has been named the backup and could be

190
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 3: in line to start Sunday against the Rams for Cleveland.

191
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 3: He's been there for two weeks.

192
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 4: He's been for two weeks.

193
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 3: Man, not even to it. He's been there a week

194
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 3: and a half.

195
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 4: So do you think this is the way that goes?

196
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 4: Is if DTR's ready, he's the starter?

197
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

198
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 4: Like, is he officially the one now?

199
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: Yeah?

200
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: I mean I think they told us going in the

201
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 4: Steeler game that they don't want Walker playing, right, Yeah,

202
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 4: I mean that to me is what they're telling me.

203
00:08:59,240 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

204
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 4: I can't imagine Flacco doing much.

205
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: Especially with I mean, yeah, you know what I mean.

206
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I get that he can manage the game

207
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 4: and those go with the football and recognize the blitz

208
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: and all the smart stuff. But at least you had

209
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 4: an athlete back there with the other two.

210
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, it's bad. Denzel Ward did not practice on Wednesday,

211
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 3: still dealing with that shoulder injury. Dorian Thompson Robinson did

212
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 3: not practice on Wednesday. He still has the concussion.

213
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think they're gonna win.

214
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 3: No, I don't think they are either. And if they

215
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 3: don't win this one, their.

216
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 4: Season spiraling very quickly. Yeah. I mean, if they hadn't

217
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 4: beaten the Steelers, I think would be already be digging

218
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 4: a grave for.

219
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 3: So, if Thompson Robinson doesn't start or doesn't practice tomorrow.

220
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: It's over right, Yeah. Yeah, And even so it's not

221
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 4: definite because I.

222
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: Mean they would be insane. I would think to start

223
00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 3: him with one day's practice, a with a coming off

224
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 3: a concussion.

225
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,839
Speaker 4: I tend to agree with you, but they I do

226
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 4: think they think he's clearly their best guy remaining.

227
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, Susan's kind of desperate, right, they could be starting

228
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco.

229
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's unbelievable. So that'll be their fourth

230
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: starter if they do is Yeah, none of whom played well.

231
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 3: Bengals head coach Zach Taylor said the team is intent.

232
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 3: I'm getting running back Chase Brown more involved this weekend.

233
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 3: Didn't have a single touch last weekend.

234
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 4: I think Mix only had eight carries, which is insane.

235
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 4: We all know that we recap the game. Why would

236
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: you only do that? But I thought going into the year,

237
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 4: you should have a better backup plan to Mix in,

238
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 4: you know, like, I think he's close to being shot

239
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 4: and he had to take a pay cut to come back. Yeah,

240
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't love Chase Brown, but I'm a

241
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 4: little shocked that he's not getting more and more already.

242
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense.

243
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 4: Whyatt Taylor protection or something. We don't know.

244
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 3: Whyatt Telor with the calf injury did not practice for

245
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 3: the Browns. Kareem Hunt with a groin did not practice Wednesday.

246
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 4: I yikes, who knows they play or not?

247
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: But Miles Garrett did not practice. Means are going really

248
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: wrong for the Browns. I think it's over. I think

249
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 3: it's over too.

250
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's over.

251
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 3: I think the Rams Rams might thrash them.

252
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: Knowing they might beat them bad. They might beat them bad.

253
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 4: Rams are playing pretty well.

254
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: And remember, folks, the Browns were all in this year.

255
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: Go all in, gotta go all in.

256
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll go all in. Chargers are all in.

257
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, how's that working out? Jerrick McKinnon did not practice

258
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 3: on Wednesday for the Chiefs. He's got a groin injury.

259
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 4: The checko's pretty valuable, but check go's Yeah, he's an

260
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 4: RB one. Yeah, I mean, there was a lot of

261
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 4: talk going into the last week's game Boy Edwards Hilaire

262
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 4: is going to do a lot, and he's shot too.

263
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't. I don't know if he'll be

264
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 4: in the league in two years.

265
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I don't. I missed badly on him.

266
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 4: Me too, me too. I liked him, yeah, just you know.

267
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 4: Get Our favorite though, was Dobbins that year. Yeah, we

268
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 4: thought there was a good chance.

269
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: And his his thing has been injuries.

270
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's fine. I don't think we missed on him,

271
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 4: But I think Dobbins was our one.

272
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 3: Tank. Dell with a calf injury, did not practice on

273
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 3: Wednesday for Houston. That's significantly.

274
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 4: He's a wide receiver one almost, and he's been.

275
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: He's got like five touchdowns in the last four games. Yeah,

276
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: he's been just on fire. Yeah, you know, we'll see

277
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 3: the Mario Douglas is in concussion protocol for the Patriots.

278
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 3: He just entered concussion protocol. So that's not good news.

279
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: I mean, we'll talk Patriots, of course, in a really

280
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 4: abbreviated week. But Douglas and Stevenson are like the two

281
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 4: guys i'd be excited about on that team.

282
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 3: Well, excited is a strong word.

283
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,560
Speaker 4: These are keepers I don't need to replace them. You know,

284
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 4: like these guys are okay, Like Douglas is all right,

285
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: but he can't be a number one receiver.

286
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 3: No, he's not all right.

287
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

288
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: Uh, he got a little news from the Cardinals. Marquise

289
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: Brown with a heel injury, did not practice on Wednesdays.

290
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 3: Michael Wilson with the shoulder did not practice on Wednesday.

291
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 4: He's had an injury history. They get their buy next week.

292
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 4: I even go. I don't know if I play Hollywood

293
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 4: if it's closed. Yeah, man, Yeah.

294
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 3: Jayden Reid did not practice on Wednesday for the Green

295
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 3: Bay Packers. Uh, he had He played through a chest

296
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 3: injury last week.

297
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 4: He's highly relevant they especially with all these five weeks.

298
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: They find ways to get him the football.

299
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. I bet if you own him, there's a good

300
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 4: chance for starting them. Yeah, pay attention to that one.

301
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 3: AJ Dillon did not practice on Wednesday's Jones the situation.

302
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 3: Aaron Jones with a knee did not practice on Wednesday

303
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 3: for they don't say I forget who they say a

304
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: green injury. Dylan was playing through a groun. It's like, uh,

305
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 3: it's a very boring name. Addie Reynolds or someone like that.

306
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 3: Trent Taylor, Taylor's Taylor. Yeah, Jones still has that mc

307
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 3: l sprain sat out last week, so he's probably not

308
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 3: going to play this week. And Dylan was actually serviceable

309
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: last week.

310
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, the best he's looked all year. Maybe I think

311
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 4: their offense is coming around. They're a contender. I mean,

312
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 4: I think they're better than the Vikes.

313
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 3: They need him to play.

314
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 4: I need to push them.

315
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 5: Uh.

316
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: Noah Brown well was back this week or yesterday today,

317
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: I should say for Houston, they can't keep all four

318
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: of those guys. It's like shuffling, okay, and just flip

319
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 3: the cards. Here's the three you're gonna have this week.

320
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 4: And they still put up points. And Stroud's really good and.

321
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 3: Well, those four guys are all pretty talent. I mean,

322
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 3: they're all talented in different ways.

323
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: So we were talking on off season needs. I don't

324
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 4: think receiver is a need for Houston. No be fine. Yeah,

325
00:14:55,240 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 4: so yeah if he if if he plays and does not,

326
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 4: Oh that's what I was about. Say, Actually, yeah, that's.

327
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: Because they get him and fire him up. They're playing Denver.

328
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 4: Okay, so certain's probably on Nico.

329
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so now it doesn't matter what Noah Brown then

330
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 3: becomes pretty good no matter what. Might be a great

331
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 3: DFS start.

332
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, even he plays, he'll be the three. Yeah,

333
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 4: and if he doesn't, he's two. Yeah, that's something to

334
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 4: keep an eye on.

335
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

336
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 4: He's certainly been. He's been far exceeded my expectations.

337
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: This year, the Texans signed Desmond King to their active roster.

338
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 3: Did they note there?

339
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 5: Yea.

340
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 3: The Lions designated quarterback Hendon Hooker to return from the

341
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: reserved NFI list. How about that?

342
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: That's interesting? Good for him. I'm glad that he's.

343
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: If they have the division wrapped up here.

344
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 4: Might he play like Week eighteen?

345
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, especially if the Eagles win this week and

346
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: they still a chance at one. Yeah, So that could

347
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 3: be like a Week eighteen start for Hendon Hooker just

348
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 3: to get it.

349
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: That'd be great. That'd be ideal for his career.

350
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

351
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 4: I thought that that's great because they probably we will

352
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 4: have a division wrapped up, they probably won't have a

353
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 4: shot at the one.

354
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, play them. Kenneth Walker, with the oblique injury,

355
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: will not play Thursday night against the Cowboys.

356
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:11,359
Speaker 4: Unfortunately.

357
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 3: Sharbone is like, yeah, he's the guy, he's the guy,

358
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: but he's getting two of the worst matchups for you.

359
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 4: Guy, right, Like, you can't take advantage of the league

360
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 4: we're in. I have Sharbona and it's like, can't use them.

361
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna use them, right, Actually a pretty deep team.

362
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna play lock it over. I'm gonna play McLaurin

363
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 4: over them. A couple of guys I consider. I'm like,

364
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 4: I'm not risking it with Sharbona.

365
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's just two San Francisco and Dallas.

366
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 3: I'm back to that week.

367
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, and anything gets San Francisco next week or Philly,

368
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 4: they're the next two games in some worlds nuts, Yeah,

369
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 4: good luck.

370
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh. The Jets opened the twenty one day practice

371
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 3: window for Aaron Rodgers. Does Aaron Rodgers return it? Would

372
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 3: you run out and pick up Aaron Rodgers?

373
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 4: Ye?

374
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 3: None.

375
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 4: I really think this happens that we'll see all these

376
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 4: clips of him with a helmet on throwing. Isn't he miraculous?

377
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 4: He's different than everybody else. You know, his rehab was

378
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 4: to bring him back, and then they'll lose this week

379
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 4: with Boyle and deep down they'll be like, I'm not

380
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 4: putting Rogers out there. We have no chance to come.

381
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: In to our offensive line stinks.

382
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 4: Right, I think this is going to be Frankly, I

383
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 4: just think it's this organization further appeasing Roberts, just like

384
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: they did when they signed Dalvin Cook who's terrible, and

385
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 4: Randall Cobb who's terrible, and Lizard who's now a healthy

386
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 4: scratch for some reason, and they have no receivers and

387
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 4: he's making like thirty six million guaranteed. Like they just

388
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 4: keep bending over backwards for Rogers, which I understand.

389
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 3: Practice whin they opened.

390
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah exactly, you know, make it look like he's

391
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 4: Superman and he can come back super earlier and everyone else.

392
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 4: I don't think he takes a snappers here.

393
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, his miracle return. Look at Aaron the hands of

394
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 3: God came down and yeah, I.

395
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 4: Could have played if we were in it, you know, Okay, sure,

396
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 4: weird dude.

397
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 3: Uh. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Donnell said the team could

398
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 3: make a quarterback change when they return from their bye week.

399
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's not like there's other great options. It's

400
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 4: Darren Hall, I think is the conversation Dobbs versus Hall.

401
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: They also have Nick Mullins.

402
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 4: Oh, I think it would be Mullins. I think. I think, yeah,

403
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: not only Dobbs a starter, but I think he's better.

404
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 4: Nick Mullins, I think you're just kind of hoping to catch.

405
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: Lightning in a bottle with one of them and win

406
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: a couple more games and sneak into the playoffs and lose.

407
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, I assume that's kind of a message.

408
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 4: We can't turn the ball over like that anymore.

409
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 3: That's the thing. I mean, A Josh, you can't go

410
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: out there and throw four interceptions.

411
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I bet it's going to be him starting. Yeah,

412
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 4: but Jefferson's coming back. Yeah.

413
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a big deal. It looks like Baker Mayfield

414
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 3: will be a full go in work Week thirteen against

415
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 3: the Panthers. He's dealing with an ankle injury.

416
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 4: Not a bad matchup, No, No, it's not. He hasn't

417
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 4: had a bad year. He doesn't have bad weapons.

418
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Uh, Titus Howard, this kind of significant. Uh.

419
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 3: He's been starting at left guard really well too for

420
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: the Houston Texans and he is out for the rest

421
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: of the year.

422
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. So he's a former first round pick.

423
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 3: They had been playing him at right tackle. Yeah, and

424
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 3: they had all the other injuries. They figured out that

425
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 3: with all the other injuries that the guy they were

426
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 3: playing at right tackle was okayah, that they could move

427
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: Titus Howard to guard. Kendrick Green got hurt.

428
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 4: Exactly, so they put him next to Tunsall and that

429
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 4: side of the lines has been destroying people.

430
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 3: Yea.

431
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 4: Tunsl's having as good a year as anybody, and now

432
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 4: he's out. Yeah, so that's a big blow to a

433
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 4: team that's well might be in the playoff mix in Ax.

434
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 4: How about this news Falcons then for this week? Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

435
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said Kyle Pitts is a

436
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: big part of the team's offense. It's got a funny

437
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: way of showing it. I wonder if all the reporters

438
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 3: in the room when he said they just started laughing.

439
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 3: Rogers did.

440
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's been around, right.

441
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: He's a big part of the offense.

442
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 4: Is he the most frustrating fantasy player in the last

443
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 4: two or three years with.

444
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 3: I don't think there's any doubt about that exactly. Here's

445
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 3: some interesting Josh Palmer is eligible to return from IR

446
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:18,640
Speaker 3: this week.

447
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 4: I think you picked him up. Yeah, yeah, This Allen

448
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 4: injury doesn't really worry me, but they've been looking for

449
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 4: it too.

450
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 3: They need somebody else to be Yeah.

451
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 4: No, I think he's very relevant.

452
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 3: Now see, yeah it was it was a rib injury

453
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: and I'm sorry, no knee. But you got Quentin Johnson

454
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: dealing with ribs.

455
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 4: And bad play.

456
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and bad play. We'll see what Palmer's capable of

457
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: doing here. But I mean he was being very he

458
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: was productive.

459
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if he plays this week, but they

460
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 4: play somebody bad. They played Patriots this week. Yeah, but no,

461
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 4: I think Palmer's usable. Yeah, he's back in the he'll

462
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 4: be out therey snap.

463
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's one to keep an eye on the remainder

464
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 3: of this week. But that's going to do it for

465
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 3: the fantasy football focus. He is Matt Williamson. I am

466
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: Dale Lolly. You're listening to the Drive. You're on Steelers

467
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 3: Nation Radio. We'll be back with more right after this.

468
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,280

486
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 3: This week's question Matt or today's question? This is for Wednesday,

487
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: Antoine Blake or Jason Gilden, two guys. You didn't think

488
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: we were seeing the same? No question here? Most tackles

489
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 3: in a Steelers game against the Cardinals.

490
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 4: I'm terrible at this, but for some reason I remember

491
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 4: Blake having like an obscene number of tackles in one game,

492
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 4: and it must be this one.

493
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: Why else would he be mentioning, of course, right, yeah,

494
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 3: one of these two guys, don't They don't.

495
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 4: They don't play the same position, they don't do the

496
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: same stuff, they don't have similar careers, right yeah.

497
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh so we've looked at this on occasion. Here

498
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: this is Derek Clawson's quarterback rankings on the thirty third. Yeah.

499
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 4: I glanced at it today, did you.

500
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 3: Okay? Well I did not, So I have no idea

501
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 3: where can you pick it?

502
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 4: Ranks very low, and he doesn't have much good to

503
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 4: say about him from what I recall him.

504
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

505
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 4: I just read his right up and I scanned the rankings.

506
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 3: So there's some other guys though in the league that

507
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 3: he would think would be much lower.

508
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,920
Speaker 4: I thought it was really really low for him.

509
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 3: Thirty two is Tim Boyle. Yes, he's awful.

510
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 4: I can't believe he's in the league.

511
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 3: He had a four point six QBR rating, four point six.

512
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 4: It's really bad.

513
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 3: Almost pulled a bull Tarski. There At thirty one is

514
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 3: the great Tommy DeVito.

515
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 4: He's actually is he gotten the point now that he'll

516
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 4: be in the league for eight more years as a backup?

517
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 4: You know, like if you play like four or five games.

518
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: He'll be with the Giants forever. That because he lives

519
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 3: down the street in his parents. Yeah, make his bed

520
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: just yeah. Thirty is Dorian Thompson Robinson, who may not

521
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: even start this week.

522
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 4: I'm sure Walker would be any better or Flaco.

523
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 3: Of course, I don't know what you put a Flacco

524
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 3: on this list. Twenty nine Bailey ZAPPI.

525
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 4: I think he's terrible too. It's awful, very it's awful

526
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 4: and diminutive. Yeah. Uh.

527
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 3: At twenty eight Jake Browning, I thought.

528
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 4: He played better than he's another one I bet stays

529
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 4: in the league for eight years.

530
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 3: You know, here's the thing, like people, well, he didn't

531
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 3: play that badly, my bar if this look, if they

532
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 3: didn't have a couple of tip passes the Chase caught,

533
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 3: were if the Steelers actually catch those tip passes, a

534
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 3: much different game, Like people are talking about that game

535
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: much differently. Oh, he threw for two and twenty yards.

536
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 4: I don't care about it.

537
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 3: He had like fifty of those on the on the

538
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 3: you know, tip passes that the Chase caught and ran with.

539
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 4: No But I think he could be a backup in

540
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 4: this league maybe for years.

541
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: He's already been a backup in the league five years. Year.

542
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 3: Yeah uh, and then it's twenty is Kenny Pickett. Here's

543
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: what he has to say. The Pittsburgh Steelers did it.

544
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 3: They earned four hundred yards of offense, and Kenny Pickett

545
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 3: actually helped him do that. Exclamation points after each one

546
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: of those sentences. I can't the yardage thing, you know,

547
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 3: I get it. Yeah, people wanted to see the Pickett

548
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: said it today. I'm not interested in yards.

549
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 4: I'm interested in points.

550
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 3: Yards don't win you games. Anyways. Funnily enough, funny enough,

551
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 3: Pickett still mostly did the stuff he was doing in

552
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 3: his best moments last year. The offense did it well

553
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 3: to present him with a ton of good quick game looks,

554
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 3: and he executed fairly well, like always Picket could do

555
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: due to target that down the field are all Pickett

556
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 3: could do down the field was chuck it up for

557
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: someone back shoulder balls of Deontay Johnson and George Pickett's

558
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 3: I didn't think that was the case at all.

559
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Derek does good work, but I didn't

560
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 4: agree with this right up this week.

561
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought to throw down the sideline to

562
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 3: Deontay Johnson was a great one. I thought to throw

563
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 3: to Pickett in the middle of the field. Stuff is

564
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 3: in the middle of the field like thro The throws

565
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: to Freer moved down the middle were high level throws.

566
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 3: The throat to Johnson he.

567
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 4: Made sound like any deep throw is just chucking in hoping. Yeah,

568
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 4: it's not the way I saw it at all.

569
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 3: But that's enough when the quick game stuff is working

570
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: to keep the change moving. One game isn't going to

571
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,479
Speaker 3: change my opinion and Picket he didn't even do anything

572
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 3: in this game that we haven't seen from him before.

573
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 5: See.

574
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 4: That's another thing I had a problem with was the

575
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 4: second half of last year. Picket would not be the

576
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 4: twenty seventh or twenty eighth quarterback on this list, right

577
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 4: just because he did it before. I mean I didn't

578
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,199
Speaker 4: expect him to do Mahome stuff for Josh Allen's stuff,

579
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 4: you know, just because he did it before, I think

580
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 4: is promising.

581
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: Like, what do you want him to do throw seven

582
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 3: touchdown passes?

583
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, I mean, just because he got back to

584
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 4: playing some of his best football, isn't that what we're after?

585
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 4: You know? I thought that was harsh.

586
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 3: At twenty six he has Gardner Minshew rated ahead of him.

587
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 3: I can't go there. I can't.

588
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no, I wouldn't either.

589
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 3: He completed fifty eight point five percent of his passes

590
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 3: not great last week, registering a minus eight point four

591
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 3: percent completing percentage over expected, So he didn't even complete

592
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 3: the ones he was supposed to be right like, I

593
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: just don't know he's I don't think he's good.

594
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 4: No, I don't either. I think he's an okay backup,

595
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: not even high end back up.

596
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 3: Twenty five is Bryce Young. I'm not putting Bryce Young

597
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: ahead of pick Lost. He's throwing pick sixes every week.

598
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, he is nothing around him. I get that, but

599
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 4: he has not done anything that is like positive.

600
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 3: Really, Pickett hasn't thrown an interception and over two hundred passes.

601
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 4: That gets my Young's killing the team that has nothing

602
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 4: around him too.

603
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't I don't get it. I don't

604
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: get it.

605
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 4: No, I think Picket's way too long on this.

606
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 3: At twenty four, as Will levis, what's he doing? What's

607
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 3: he doing? Nothing? Nothing?

608
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 4: I don't think he belongs in this neighbor. Twenty three

609
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 4: is eight and O'Connell nice store. I mean, I think

610
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 4: he's maybe going to be their starter next year. But

611
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 4: Picket's better.

612
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too. Twenty two Josh Dobbs, Come on, man, yeah,

613
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 3: come on.

614
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 4: Where he had him before this week?

615
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 3: But he's down. He's down from twenty one. You bumped

616
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 3: him down one spot after a fourth of four interceptions.

617
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 3: How many fumbles did he have in that game? I

618
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 3: have no leads the league in fumbles. I have noticed

619
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: this call him though.

620
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 4: Isn't like power ranks where someone will move five spots

621
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 4: seven spots. They probably should more, especially at the bottom.

622
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 4: Like I'm not saying Mahomes has a three pick game,

623
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 4: he should go to ten. No, you know, you know,

624
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 4: but Dobbs or some of these highly volatile dudes when

625
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 4: they're bad thing them for it. Twenty one is Desmond Ritter. No, no,

626
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 4: not Overpicket.

627
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: This is where Picket should be.

628
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 4: He should be. I think he should be above everyone

629
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: you've mentioned. Twenty is Sam How I'll give you Sam Overpicket. Yeah,

630
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 4: he's throwing the ball all over the yard. They're playing

631
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 4: in completely different styles of football, right, Yeah, they're being

632
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: asked to very different things.

633
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 3: And he's thrown nine interceptions, yeah, and takes taking a

634
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 3: gagillion sacks.

635
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 4: And Pickett's numbers would be much higher if he were starting.

636
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: For Washington right now, and how we're starting for the Steelers. Yep,

637
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 3: I'm not. I don't know that their numbers would be different.

638
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 4: I don't know if the Steelers would have as many wins.

639
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 4: That's the good. I do think Cowl's having a better year,

640
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 4: you know. And I would have Howe ahead of him

641
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 4: if I were doing quarterback ranks.

642
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: But I don't know that he's as cautious with the

643
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: football needs to be and he would take a bunch

644
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 3: of sacks.

645
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 4: And with Washington's defense, they need him to be a

646
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 4: wild child, you know.

647
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,720
Speaker 3: I mean that's the that's the thing that nobody ever

648
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 3: largument right.

649
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 5: Uh.

650
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 3: Nineteen is Baker Mayfield.

651
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, that's who he is. Yeah, he's the nineteenth

652
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 4: best quarterback eighteen year. Eighteen is Justin Fields probably going

653
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 4: up had a good game. Wow, he did not have

654
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 4: a good game. He said, he's okay lately.

655
00:29:55,920 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 3: But seventeen is Derek Carr.

656
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 4: I mean, the body of work has some value, But

657
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 4: I don't want him to be my quarterback. No, I'd

658
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 4: much try to play against him and with him.

659
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 3: Sixteen is Russell Wilson.

660
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 4: Okay, but he's become a game manager. Yeah, close to

661
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: the vest, but he's respectable.

662
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 3: Fifteen is Jordan Love.

663
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: I didn't think i'd be on the Love train, and

664
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 4: I'm not one hundred percent sold, but he's playing very

665
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 4: well and should keep moving up. If Pet had to

666
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 4: play against Wilson and Love.

667
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 3: If Pickett has another game like he did last week

668
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 3: where he throw let's say he throws for two fifty

669
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 3: maybe a touchdown pass, and he should be.

670
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 4: In the Love neighborhood.

671
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 3: He should be. Yeah, he should take a huge jump

672
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 3: up over these other slappies that he's behind right now.

673
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 4: Put two or three games together like Love has, because

674
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 4: that's what Love's done. That's what loves exactly right.

675
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 2: Uh.

676
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: Fourteen has Brock Party.

677
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 4: He's really rough on Party too. I mean I was,

678
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 4: but I think you can't ignore what this guy's done.

679
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 4: He would be higher for me. I just think that's

680
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 4: who he is. I mean I thought he was. I

681
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 4: think he's a twenty eighth to start the season. But

682
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 4: he makes plays, and.

683
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: He makes plays when they have all their dudes. I know,

684
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 3: when they didn't have all their dudes, he didn't make

685
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 3: nearly as many.

686
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 4: Plays, but he's having a he's going to Pro Bowl.

687
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 4: I mean he's had a huge year.

688
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: Going to the Pro Bowl doesn't mean anything.

689
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 4: I know David went and the backup for the Ravens went,

690
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 4: but he earned a Pro Bowl.

691
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 3: Thirteen is Jared Goff.

692
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 4: He's going the wrong way, yeah, but I would have

693
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 4: golf over party. Twelve is Tua Okay. He is hard

694
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 4: on the Tua party system guys, which for the most part,

695
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 4: I am too. But they're both having very good years.

696
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

697
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 5: Uh.

698
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: Eleven is Gino Smith.

699
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 4: I don't understand why he likes I don't understand that

700
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 4: at all.

701
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 3: Like before the season was there, you know, like if

702
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 3: you had pretty headed Gino Smith, I got no problem

703
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 3: with that.

704
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 4: I think you Gino would be down like five spots

705
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 4: and I'd bump everyone up. One.

706
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: Yeah. Ten is Murray.

707
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 4: I've read his two and basically saying I don't know

708
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 4: where to put him. Yeah, I mean he's back, yeah

709
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 4: some of that so in today's all exactly. He's only

710
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 4: played three games and he's a hard one to evaluate.

711
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 3: Nine is c J. Stroud okay. Eight is Jalen Hurts.

712
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 4: Okay. I don't say who do you want who's had

713
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 4: a better year? One team's fifteen to one. Yeah, yeah,

714
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 4: one guy has won a whole bunch of games. Yeah,

715
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 4: and it is an unstoppable force on third and one.

716
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 3: Seven is Matthew Stafford. I don't know that Stafford is

717
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 3: that anymore.

718
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 4: And so I think i'd have those last two ahead

719
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 4: of them. Yeah, Stroud and and Hurts. Yeah.

720
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 3: Uh. Six is Trevor Lawrence.

721
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 4: Okay, it's a little rich, but okay.

722
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: Five is Dak Prescott.

723
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 4: He would be number one in the NFC for me.

724
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 3: Four is Justin Herbert, who never wins any games.

725
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, Herbert or Lawrence.

726
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: I'll take Lawrence.

727
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 4: I think I still prefer Herbert, but they're in the

728
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 4: same neck of the woods. He's been ruined by the.

729
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 3: Stencho of being on that Chargers team that I think

730
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 3: everybody that touches that every you're just cursed gonna win

731
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 3: games for eternity. Three Josh Allen, Yes, Two Lamar Jackson,

732
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: and then one is Patrick Mahomes. I mean, honestly, when

733
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 3: you talk about franchise quarterbacks in the NFL.

734
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 4: It's brutal right now, awful out Watson's a bust and

735
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 4: out Rogers is out.

736
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: Is Matthew Stafford a franchise quarterback at this point in

737
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 3: his career.

738
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 4: I think he's the Mendoza line.

739
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 3: I think in like the last two seasons, they're like

740
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 3: seven and eleven when he.

741
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 4: Starts, really and probably like oh and one hundred when

742
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 4: they doesn't. He's still he's a tough one for me.

743
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 4: I mean, like, if he is, he isn't for much longer.

744
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 4: You know.

745
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 3: Is all is Jalen Hurts a franchise quarterback?

746
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 4: Yeah? Not for every team, right, They're a very smart

747
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 4: organization and they build around their quarterback as everyone should.

748
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 4: But yes, that's number eight. I mean he's worth every

749
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 4: penny people.

750
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 3: Some people would say Stroud is a franchise quarterback. I'm

751
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 3: not ready to go there yet, but he's on his

752
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: way there. But half of a season is not telling

753
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: me you're a franchise quarterback.

754
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 4: He still has to be the pitcher that goes to

755
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 4: the league a second time, right, you know, and everyone

756
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 4: prepares for him a little bit. But I'm highly highly incouraged.

757
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 3: Is Kyler Murray a franchise quarterback.

758
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 4: I don't know. I think we'll know at the end

759
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:53,479
Speaker 4: of the year, though, I mean I don't think they'll

760
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 4: win any games, but he might be good in the meantime.

761
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, Gino Smith is not a franchise quarterback, He's is

762
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 3: Tua a franchise quarterback for me?

763
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:09,040
Speaker 4: No, but I think he's Kirk Cousins.

764
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

765
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 4: I think he's a systems quarterback, which is good.

766
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 3: I mean you can win with that.

767
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,839
Speaker 4: Systems quarterback is not a negative as long as your

768
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 4: system's right, right, right. Joe Montana was a systems quarter yeah.

769
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 3: Right.

770
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 4: Is Jared Goff a franchise similar I mean like he

771
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 4: has to have a no line. I think you can

772
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 4: win the super Bowl with him. I don't know, we

773
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 4: know you can get to the Super Bowl with Yeah,

774
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 4: and his supporting cast with the Rams was every bit

775
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 4: as good as this one.

776
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 3: Yeah at the time. Is Brock Purty a franchise quarterback.

777
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 4: No, No, I don't think so.

778
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 3: I think he's a system He's the definition of assistants quarterback.

779
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 4: But I think the Niners can win the Super Bowl.

780
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 3: That's fine, you can win the systems quarterback. Jordan Love

804
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 3: media earlier today, talked a little bit about the fluid

805
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 3: of the offense and things of that nature. This past game.

806
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 4: It did look fluid Chris. I thought he looked fluid Chris,

807
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 4: but had a nice pace to it. I thought his footwork,

808
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 4: timing all that stuff was very very good, accuracy, very good.

809
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 4: I'm encouraged.

810
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. I also asked him about the three tight end

811
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 3: package and you know we see more of that or

812
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 3: you know what he likes about it. So lots of

813
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: good stuff in here. Let's hear what Kenny Pickett had

814
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 3: to say.

815
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: Kenny, after looking at the film, that it looked better

816
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 5: than even when it did on you. Yeah, you know

817
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 5: it felt good on on Sunday. Obviously want more points.

818
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 5: But after watching the tape and seeing how we executed

819
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 5: in the past game, the run game, how things kind

820
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 5: of balanced off each other, you know, definitely liked our performance,

821
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 5: but they want more points obviously. Any things flowed the

822
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 5: way he wanted it to coach only doing things in

823
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 5: that procedure, Yeah, well, I think the flow was good.

824
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 5: I thought the setup we had throughout the week was good.

825
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 5: In the game day operations with me and Coach Solly

826
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 5: and then talking on the sideline and most of the

827
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 5: other coaches was smooth. Obviously he can get better. Something

828
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 5: We're gonna continue to try and iron out. But I

829
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 5: thought for our first time out of his good is.

830
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 3: There anything noticeable that you could iron out?

831
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, personnels and stuff like that, just hearing him say it,

832
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 5: you know, wrist band numbers, kind of him repeating him.

833
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 5: Just things that we can you know, iron out small

834
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 5: detailed things to help, you know, getting out of huddle faster.

835
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 3: What was your reaction to seeing Fionce's reaction on the

836
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 3: war and fumble and what did you think about what

837
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 3: he had to see to the team.

838
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, he talked to the team today. You know, he

839
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 5: addressed it.

840
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 3: We moved on.

841
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 5: We loved hey, you know, we know he's gonna play hard,

842
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 5: so it's all good.

843
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 3: Went right back to him after he had dropped that touchdown.

844
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 3: That was it was the next ride he came back.

845
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 3: If that's something you try to do.

846
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 4: Yes and no.

847
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 5: I mean knows how confide I am to him and

848
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 5: how you know the kind of playmaker he is. You

849
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 5: know what the defense tells me to do, that's where

850
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 5: I take the football. And you know he was in

851
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 5: the right spot.

852
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 4: Okay, the difference did you notice in the flow of the.

853
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,800
Speaker 5: Game and how you guys were off the chunk players

854
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 5: were there you know that was that was good. I

855
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 5: thought we you know, had some really good drives working

856
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 5: on some long fields. You know, we got to the

857
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 5: red zone, we just had a negative player appenalty. We

858
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 5: felt like that it kind of took us out of

859
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 5: that rhythm, that really good rhythm that we were having. So,

860
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 5: you know, if we get that fixed, you know the points.

861
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,840
Speaker 4: Of follow you usual the three tight end package.

862
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 3: What did you like out of that? What does that

863
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: open up for you?

864
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,239
Speaker 5: I like the versatility out of it. I don't think

865
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 5: you're run heavy, you know. I think the things that

866
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 5: we did off it were really good. I love having

867
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 5: Connor and patting there as well as though now you know,

868
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 5: getting done now a touch in it in the past

869
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 5: game was great out of our drawback stuff. So I

870
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 5: think we're pretty versailing and it keeps you know, defense.

871
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 3: Honestly, the friar moves that he got tangled up that

872
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 3: was out of that three tight end pacts? Is that

873
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 3: an example the kind of matchup you.

874
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 5: Can exploit to Yeah, you can. You can find matchups,

875
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 5: you know, size matchups, whatever it may be. You know,

876
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 5: that was one where I felt like, you know, he

877
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 5: was one on one the end I'm getting tangled it.

878
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 5: I thought we're gonna get a call, you know, didn't

879
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 5: get it, but definitely a shot that I like taking

880
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 5: with Pat Kenny. Know that's a more normal week.

881
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 4: I was in preparation different.

882
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 5: All. I mean, I don't want to say it's really

883
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 5: not too much different, to be honest with you, you know,

884
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 5: I felt like even though we had a short week

885
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,879
Speaker 5: technically last last week with a change and how things were,

886
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 5: how crazy it was, I thought, you know, the playing

887
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 5: coaches have put together was really smooth for us. So

888
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 5: we know we're just kind of building off that time.

889
00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 3: I mentioned that going into Succe, you guys are dressed

890
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 3: some launch angles, changing some of the so can you

891
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 3: add some texture to that? What did you what did

892
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:38,320
Speaker 3: you see on tape and you wanted to change and

893
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 3: how'd you trust it going in the.

894
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 5: Tame launch angles? Like in the pocket, like moving the pocket?

895
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, I mean I think we moved the pocket

896
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 5: before that. But continuing to do that and and use

897
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 5: my athleticism and get out of the pocket, you know,

898
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 5: just another element to our office.

899
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: Can sand up a little deeper the shot up.

900
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 5: We were still it too bad, I don't think so

901
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 5: you're talking about pretty some more chunk plays. Is that

902
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 5: something that was called a team meetings coverage received?

903
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 4: Is that something that you can carry over the leaders.

904
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 5: Game plan coverage, you know, having the having the right

905
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 5: call at the right time, getting them in those coverages

906
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 5: and you know, the shots that we want versus those

907
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,359
Speaker 5: looks we had them, which was great. So I think,

908
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 5: you know, it all works together. The protection was great. Guys,

909
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 5: We're getting open, I was making the throws. So you

910
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 5: just want to continue having that great prep. It all

911
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 5: starts during the week. All the things that we you know,

912
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 5: had success on. We had, you know, meetings and clips

913
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 5: that we pulled up prior like hey, this is the look,

914
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 5: this is what we're gonna do, and it worked out

915
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:32,399
Speaker 5: that way in the game. So huge credit to our

916
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 5: our guys, preparation.

917
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 4: And our coaches how you played.

918
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 5: To build on that performance moving forward for this week. Absolutely,

919
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 5: you know you see the the you know, the expulsion

920
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 5: it's there. You see the the consistency and the drives

921
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 5: that we want. There's a ton of positive take away

922
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 5: from it. Great first week with coach silly calling the plays.

923
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 4: So just want to.

924
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: Continue to stack.

925
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 3: What if the next step is Like, what's impressed most

926
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 3: about working with Jalen Warret over the last two.

927
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:03,239
Speaker 5: Years Probably consistency, you know, selflessness, great teammate, you know

928
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 5: what you're getting with thirty. He's a great guy man,

929
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,919
Speaker 5: love him on the team, and a hell of a player.

930
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,440
Speaker 5: You see what he does with the ball in his hands.

931
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 5: So I can't say enough great things about about thirty.

932
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 5: What are more times that where you're surprised by his strength?

933
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 5: I mean, like, he's sure guy, he's stacked, but some

934
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 5: of the blocks that he could do things like that, now, No,

935
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:22,720
Speaker 5: he's been doing it since I've been playing with him. Honestly,

936
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 5: it's unbelievable how aggressive he is. He gets all those

937
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 5: fines because of how aggressive he is. But it's just

938
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 5: I think his stature that makes it look the way that.

939
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 5: I don't know how the finds work. I think it's ridiculous.

940
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 5: But you know, he's just an aggressive player and he

941
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 5: goes and gets guys.

942
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: So when is the next step you'd like to see

943
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: out of this offense?

944
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 5: Points? Points?

945
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 4: That's what we want.

946
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 5: We want points. Yards are great, you know yards are great,

947
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 5: but points wins games.

948
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 3: What point did you.

949
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 5: Just throughout the game just something I have to manage.

950
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 5: You know, had something similar before, so you know that's

951
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 5: a big deal.

952
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 4: Any of you.

953
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 5: Talked to him after, not since Sunday and talk to

954
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 5: him after, but no, not since Sunday.

959
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 4: That's a wrap. Huh. We're half were three games three.

Speaker 4: Yea, how about that hopefully two wins against some pretty

963
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 4: bad football team.

964
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, two games at home, so after a couple of

965
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 3: weeks on the road there, it'd be nice to be

966
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 3: at home to have. Yeah, yeah, no doubt having that.

967
