1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: This is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: We are back on Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson

4
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: and it's time for the Fantasy Football Focus where we

5
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: take a look at It's Wednesday and it's a practice,

6
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: news practice, not practicing. A little interesting note. Miles Sanders

7
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: activated for the Eagles to a return from I think

8
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: he was a great by low guy. And I know

9
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: you did that a week or two ago. I did

10
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: it yesterday. I would a little word. Yeah. I was

11
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: a little worried that the coaching staff might be like,

12
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: it's not broke, let's not fix it. We'll stick with

13
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Howard and these guys. We talked about that. But they

14
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: better than those guys, you know. And I think that

15
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: their head coach came out and said, oh he's the starters.

16
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: He's right right. I mean, you know, you could be

17
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: getting a guy who's getting twenty. You're not gonna be

18
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: able to get him now, no news is out. But

19
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: if you've got him, or if he would, yeah, um

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: where you I mean you might want to say if

21
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: you were going to say, like, hey, I got I'm

22
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: sitting here with like Antonio Gibson or pick pick a running,

23
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't know he's gonna get touches moving forward, I

24
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: would assume. So I'm just the way they've been running

25
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: the football the problem, and I don't think it's going

26
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: to be a problem because there's so much different now.

27
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: But when Sanders was healthy, they didn't use him enough.

28
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: But now they run the ball a lot, so I assume,

29
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: and you still might be able to pull it off

30
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: with an owner that's not that sharp, right and says

31
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: I didn't love the numbers he put up before. I

32
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: mean still throwing off route to give him a wide

33
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: receiver three for sanding or something like that. I I mean

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: somebody that they can start, you know, yeah, yeah, and

35
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 1: then you can work from there. Yeah. I don't know

36
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: if he's a league winner or anything, but he could

37
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: be really useful down the stretcher. How do you think

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: they worked at I think Jordan Howard hurts him a

39
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: little bit in terms of the goal line touches. Do

40
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: you think he might go back to the inactive list though,

41
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: because he doesn't catch the ball. He's only an early

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: down guy. He's been good for them though, and he's

43
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: actually not a bad round. I think the other guys

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: get hurt by Sanders attorney. I think I think Howard

45
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: has a role. Strangely, they haven't used gain well, so

46
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: he's not gonna spike. I think Boston Scott's probably in trouble. Yeah,

47
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: he's the guy he gets hurt. I think I think

48
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: they can continue to use Howard is a short yard.

49
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: These guys slash, which isn't great for Sanders, but Sanders

50
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: does everything pretty well. Score from anywhere in the field. Yeah,

51
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: he's very explosive. Yeah, okay, Yeah, I mean I'm curious

52
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: how it shakes out. I think if he gets I'm

53
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: not gonna say it's to be Jonathan Taylor type numbers. No,

54
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: but he might get but he has yeah, yeah, yeah.

55
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: You know, if you give him twin good, there's a

56
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: good chance that he's going to break one of them

57
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: for a long run, without question. I mean, if he

58
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: gets seventy of the workload catching and receiving of the

59
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: running backs, you'll be real happy about Yeah, no doubt

60
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: about it. Um. Damian Williams in Chicago was limited at

61
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: Wednesday's practice. Okay, he's dealing with an issue. Allen Robinson

62
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: with the handstring did not practice. They're coming off a

63
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: by right, Yeah, I mean that's that's trouble concerning Yeah,

64
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: I kept well, yes, I still do. I mean I

65
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: expect that offense to be a lot better in the

66
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: second half of the year than the first half of

67
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: the year, which is insane. The Fields is available, Oh yeah,

68
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: you should grab him now. Yeah, I mean Montgomery is

69
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: the guy too, he saw that here. I mean he's

70
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: going to be the top guy. I even think Cole

71
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: commits a deep, deep kind of potentially useful players. He's

72
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: getting like six or seven targets in the last couple

73
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: of games going into the by Like buy on that. Yeah,

74
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,119
Speaker 1: even Mooney too, I mean Fields his favored Mooney since

75
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: he's been the starter. I also think Allan Robbins has

76
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: lost a step. But it's easy to blame everyone around

77
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: a rob but watching him and get the Steelers like

78
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: he doesn't move that well. Yeah, it's interesting. Uh. The

79
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: Saints designated Tony Jones to return from injured reserve. Now

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: they cut they let um well, they picked up Ingram

81
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 1: Kamar is probably gonna play, but they had a plan

82
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: for Tony Jones early in the scene. I know they

83
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: like him. They like him, Yeah, they do. And I

84
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: bet the Ingram trade doesn't help his trouble for Jones

85
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: because I think Kamar is gonna be back this week,

86
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: and that's a pretty good backfield. I mean, I don't

87
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: know if Jones is even active, but if something happened,

88
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: if Camar has had such a heavy workload, and he's

89
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: not the Ingram is eight years old or whatever whatever

90
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 1: he is, he's he's ancient. Um, Tony Jones is worth

91
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: maybe keeping an eye on, you know, not running out

92
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: and pick him up. But if something happens, he's a

93
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: guy that you might want to pick up because they're

94
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: not gonna Ingram to be a guy. They they have

95
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: to run the football. Oh, they have to football. I

96
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: would look at it this way, which is kind of

97
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 1: how you were describing it is right now, it looks

98
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: like that backfield is totally set. So no one's gonna

99
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: think about Tony Jones anymore. But it might be more

100
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: fragile than you think. I mean, Kamara is not a

101
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: heavy They're not gonna give him a million carries much anyways, No,

102
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: and Camara is fighting an injury as we speak, so

103
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: you only need one of those two to stub a

104
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: toe for Jones to be used. Yeah, if we were

105
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: looking at that list that we look at every Tuesday

106
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: of guys to stash away, he might be on the

107
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: list there. Yeah, if you're in a real deep league,

108
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: because you've got two things that could happen that could

109
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: make him useful. Yeah. Actually, maybe even just one where

110
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: he's all of a sudden he's getting touches. Well, that's

111
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: what I mean. Either one of those guys stubs a

112
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: toe at all, Jones all of a sudden it's getting

113
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: the ball, you know. Uh, Speaking of which, Jeremy McNichols,

114
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: with a concussion, did not practice on Wednesday. Dante Foreman

115
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: is the guy. He is the guy. This is kind

116
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 1: of the we're giving you the toe. He's Joe stuff

117
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: ahead of time, like much like we did last week

118
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: with don'te Foreman right to be a little pro nas right,

119
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: and we went in doubt at another running back to

120
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: your list. At this point, you're starting to get to

121
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: the point in the season where Okay, you're gonna play

122
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: these three or four receivers every week. Oh, I would imagine, Yeah,

123
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: the rest of your bench, you're gonna start the same

124
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: quarterback every week unless you've been streaming. Yeah, I mean

125
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: you're gonna start the same tight end every week because

126
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: we're almost through the buys having a second tight end defense.

127
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,559
Speaker 1: Your bench should be like six running backs. Yeah, guys

128
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: like Jones and Foreman and these type of guys that

129
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: are one good bad for the person who gets hurt,

130
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: good for you. But like Tyler Boyd on your bench

131
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: when he's he's your fifth receiver, he's never gonna play.

132
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: Make that a running back right, No, that makes sense too.

133
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean unless you're really if you're starting Kyler Boyd,

134
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: you probably aren't in anyway, right you know? But yeah,

135
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: keeping just said, well I better have five six receivers. No,

136
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,359
Speaker 1: you don't really need him. Yeah, and you can find

137
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: guys every week at the receiver position much if you

138
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: lose one, much easier. And you can find a running back.

139
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: He's gonna get fifteen carries. You know that that Tennessee

140
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: situation is really messy right now because all of them

141
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 1: are getting touches. Peterson was the goal line guy this

142
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: past week. I mean, that's that would be. He's their

143
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: best guy, and maybe just took two weeks to realize

144
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: it and Peterson's again, like it's the Ingram argument. He's

145
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: eighty seven years old. You know, how is he going

146
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: to hold up? You know, a month from now we're

147
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: talking about him? Maybe not? Um. Jonah Smith questionable for

148
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: Tonight's game against the Falcons tomorrow. Yeah, has been pretty good.

149
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: He's scoring touch and I think he's got seven touchdowns. Now,

150
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,119
Speaker 1: yeah he's John Smith doesn't play. Now that that line

151
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: of you know, three for forty and a touchdown might

152
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: go to five for sixty in an agree. I actually

153
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: thought before the season both might be useful. I know

154
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: they're not Gronk and Hernandez like everyone said they were,

155
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: but then the receivers are so bad. Matt Jones is

156
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: playing well enough and they're you know, moving the ball

157
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: well enough. I'm not sure John who's totally useless. I

158
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: mean he didn't. He has done very little in the

159
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: Patriots uniform. But you know, I think both those guys

160
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: could have value. Henry has starter value. Brandon Bolden is

161
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: questionable with a hip injury. Cam Um Damien Harris was

162
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: removed from the injury list list. What he had that concussion. Um,

163
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: it looks like it's gonna be worst case this is

164
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: the absolute worst case scenario for fantasy owners. Harris is

165
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: back because Ramondy Stevenson now become the receiving back there.

166
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: He's not a bad receiver, even though he's two thirty

167
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: five or whatever. He's a big bodied guy. But I

168
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: hope that that everybody else was out of the way

169
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: and it's just Stevenson. That's not the case. Well, that

170
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: was kind of the case last week. You got your

171
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: one hit and hopefully you'd be made a count. Don't

172
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: just plug him in and say, oh, he's gonna get

173
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: twenty carries again this week and catch four passes. And

174
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: I think they think Harris is better than Stevens, Yeah,

175
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: and they probably trust him more. Stevenson has put the

176
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: ball in the ground a couple of times a rookie,

177
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: and right, I think Stevenson is a better receiver than Harris,

178
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: but I think Harris is the better back. And I'm

179
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: certain they think that. Yeah. Yeah. DeAndre Swift with a

180
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: shoulder injury apparently suffered when he had thirty three carries

181
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. Uh, he was limited in Wednesday's practice.

182
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a lot to be concerned about.

183
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think he's gonna get nearly that

184
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: workload going forward. Williams is going to be back. I

185
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: don't know about this week though. Jefferson's out for a while.

186
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: So I mean they're if you were DeAndre Swift on her,

187
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: You're like, Okay, he got you know, thirty six touches

188
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: last week. Two buddies get the two touchdowns. Yeah, they

189
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: get the touchdowns. He got three passes for five yards.

190
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: That's what That's what was giving him value. That's the

191
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: beauty of him. Yeah, he was you know if he

192
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: if you told me going into last week, DeAndre Swift

193
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: is gonna get thirty six touches in this game, and

194
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: like he caught ten passes. Oh yeah right, I probably

195
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't gone to yeah right. I mean, like that wasn't

196
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: how played out like that? You used him as a

197
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 1: pure running back. They didn't throw the ball at all.

198
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: A couple of notes on that. I definitely think the

199
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: weather and goths inability to handle the weather factors in there.

200
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 1: But last week was the first time Dan Campbell called

201
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: the offense right, that's the and Hawk got one target

202
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: and Swift had three catches, and they were the only

203
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: good useful guys and they scored sixteen points. And they

204
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: scored sixteen point seventy minutes, Like it will be different

205
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: in the Dome going forward. And you know, I don't know,

206
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: but there's a new guy in charge of the offense. Yeah,

207
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: that's definitely something that needs to be watched. Sure. I

208
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: mean I even think Dan Campbell is a tight end.

209
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 1: He was a former tight end. It would blow me

210
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: away if all we can they just completely hockets in

211
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: every week, right, I mean, I'm sure there's a a

212
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: mandate that we're getting hawk of ball. You know, that

213
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: makes no sense to me at all. One one game, fine,

214
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: but that can't be the trend. You're not gonna get

215
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: you're not gonna compete, you're not gonna tie anybody doing that.

216
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley with rib injury, did not practice on the Wednesday.

217
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: I believe that was same thing last week and he

218
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: ended up playing. Yeah, they throw the ball so much too,

219
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 1: that wasn't you know. I like Dawson Knox came back

220
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: last week and got one catch beasilely. You know, everything

221
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: was the digs. That's because they were playing at Jets

222
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: and they could do whatever they wanted to. They could

223
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: do whatever they wanted to know they're gonna be a

224
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: little more challenged this week against the Colts. I would

225
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: expect the ball to be spread around a little bit more. Yeah,

226
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: everyone's paid attention to the Chiefs offensive problems by their

227
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: massive standards. In a way, Buffalo is in the same

228
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: conundrum and people are playing them the same way. They're

229
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: not really effective running the ball, and if you look

230
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: at the Bills schedule, it's very easy going forward, but

231
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: the defenses are really tough going for and there too.

232
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: They've played I forget who was listening to today, and

233
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: if you look at who the Bills have played thus far,

234
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: there's only been two defenses that are top twenty Titans Steelers.

235
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: They lost both. The lost both games. Yeah, I mean,

236
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: so they've destroyed bad defense is and they don't have

237
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: many bad defenses left on the slate, you know, so

238
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: that the offense might be a little overrated. Yeah, we'll

239
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: see what happens against the coltist. We've gotta be definitely

240
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: one of the better games on the Yeah, I think

241
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: it will be Colts needed, Colts needed bad. Yeah, Actually,

242
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 1: the Bills kind of needed to just pushed a little

243
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: bit into England breathing down their neck. Um, Dallas Garter

244
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: with a concussion not practicing on Wednesday, I don't know

245
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: if we'll see him. Yeah, that's that's a tough one. Um.

246
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: And the fact that he's not practicing today leads me

247
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: to believe that maybe because again we've we've we've explained

248
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: to the the situation with the concussion protocol. Today would

249
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: have been a day of activity. It's the big one.

250
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: It's not the big one. But if he's not an active,

251
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: if he's not out there at least on a limited

252
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: basis tomorrow, there's a good chance he doesn't play. And

253
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: Davante's miss been really really good, better than I expected,

254
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: and they're throwing the ball better than I expected to

255
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: to be honest, but I thought Goddard would be a

256
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: every week count on you just below Hawkinson type receiver

257
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: or tight end and not quite yet quit there, but

258
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: be patient with him. Yeah, speaking of not quite there,

259
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: Chris Carson with that neck injury not practicing today. It

260
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: wouldn't shut shock me if they just shut him down completely. Well,

261
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: they activated him, yeah, but they're they're carrying him on

262
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: the roster, but he's still not playing. I think they neck.

263
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: They may have brought him back too soon. They could

264
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: have just left him one I R and said, okay,

265
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,559
Speaker 1: we're gonna wait wait wait. But they I mean they

266
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: started their clock and the clock is starting to catch

267
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: up to them soon. And if they lose another one,

268
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: their season might be over. And then they just shut

269
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: him down. Right, Collins is far from sexy, but you

270
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: could do worse. I mean he's startable. Yeah, you know, yeah,

271
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: if he's out there at least again. It's the running

272
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: back THEORYO. If you're running back out there is gonna

273
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: get touches. Pick him up. If he touches, he's a

274
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: lot more valuable than Penny. And this past week was

275
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: a miss. I mean that was zero zero going in

276
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Seattle is gonna move the ball better

277
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 1: than that, Yeah, I would think so. Uh. Jamichael Hasty

278
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: remains sideline for Wednesday's practice for the forty niners. You

279
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: like clarity in that backfield, for sure, jam Mitchell. But

280
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: Wilson is a perfect example. Jeff Wilson's gonna come up

281
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: and see what happens, and he may have may get

282
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: your one game that's not that's all. Yeah, that's what

283
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: we're looking for if you're you're battling for a playoff

284
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: spot right now. Any running back is a good running back,

285
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: ye seventh running back or whatever. You might need him

286
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: one to trade him. Yeah, you know, Jeff Wilson goes

287
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: out and has a hundred eighteen yards on carries this week,

288
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: he's a tradeable commodity. If you're in a twelve team

289
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: league and you have five or six running backs to

290
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: touch the ball every week, probably means some of your

291
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: opponents don't. Yeah, that's the other thing that some defense.

292
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: You're playing a little defense there. Uh Deebo. Samuel with

293
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: the shim shin injury, was limited in Wednesday's practice. I

294
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: don't worry about that because no, he just takes a

295
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: beating and he's real, really good. They should just move

296
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: him to running back and just be done with it.

297
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: His carries are impressive. Just let him, just let him do.

298
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: You're just star everything and he kind of is. Imagine

299
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: when they got finally go to justin fields. Um. I

300
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: don't know if it's good or bad for I don't

301
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: think it affects. I just think they could run a

302
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: wing tea and it wouldn't affect Samuel because he's gonna

303
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: find ways to get him the football. I thought kid

304
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: will look great. He put up numbers, but I thought

305
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: he could have done even more. Everyone's domini Um Kamara.

306
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: As we mentioned, I returned to practice Wednesday. He was

307
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: limited though, um a little worldly to say, but I

308
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: would bet he's back. This one's some bad news here. Now,

309
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: this is a new injury for this guy, James Robinson,

310
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: who was dealing with that heel injury now dealing also

311
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: with a knee with a new injury, that new injury.

312
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide should be the guy again here. You know,

313
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: this is the time of your handcuff and he's okay.

314
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: I mean, like, I wouldn't mind Carlos Hide behind Nausea

315
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: Harris on this team. A guy that you could give

316
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: the ball to a little bit, yeah, and catch one

317
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: here and there too. It's not gonna win you the

318
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: week or you know when your league, but you'll help

319
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: you from losing it. Yeah, and there's a difference. Yeah. Uh.

320
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, with the shoulder injury, was limited on Wednesday.

321
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: He hasn't been a Pent all year and he has

322
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: not practiced a lot on Wednesdays. But he's a little disappointing,

323
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: but I don't think it's his fault. His fault, it's injury.

324
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: I just started him every week and usually I'm happy

325
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: about it. Uh. Antonio Gibson with the shin was limited

326
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. He's had that all year long. He's he's

327
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: a volume guy. When they're in the game, he's gonna

328
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: get the volume. When they're not in the game, he's

329
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: not going to get the volume. You know, you have

330
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: to kind of pick your starts with him. You do.

331
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: Next week would not have been one of them, though,

332
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: I would have thought, I mean, that looked like the

333
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: perfect time to benjam and some guys. I did bencham

334
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: for Javonte Williams and Freeman, you know, and they were okay,

335
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: but they didn't do great. Um. I think Gibson, you're

336
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: just frustrated with Now is a great week to try

337
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: to trade him, you know, because they're probably the problem

338
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: is you tried trade him now and somebody looks like

339
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: as well, he's on the injury list. You know, he

340
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: has been all year. But you know, he needs to

341
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: catch more passes, and some games he probably will, but

342
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: he's not going to be the passing down back unfortunately. Yeah,

343
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: that was a wide receiver in college. Is not the

344
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: passing down bad good at It makes no sense. Christian

345
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: McCaffrey with that hamstring injury not listed on the Panthers

346
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: injury report today. His production is unbelievable. I mean, I

347
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: think he's the most valuable guy in the whole league

348
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: for Fancy, right, that's why he went number one. Yeah,

349
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 1: but I mean we're seeing injury history, the injury history scary.

350
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: They're playing They're playing Washington this week. Yeah, I mean

351
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 1: Cam is probably gonna start. It doesn't matter to me. Cam.

352
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,120
Speaker 1: Those can play with him. Yeah, they have Bill dump

353
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: into him plenty, and they'll move the football more. I

354
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,959
Speaker 1: think with Cam. I think Cam helps Anderson. I think

355
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: he helps d J. Moore. Yeah, they've been problematic this year.

356
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: We shall see, shall see. Um. We might be also

357
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: getting a little too excited about Cam because maybe just

358
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: to be played this is this is, this is. But

359
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: if he's even better than what they've had a quarterback

360
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: up until now, that's a win for Fancy. Rodrigo. Blanket

361
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: Ship news Frank Reich saying that Blanket Blanket Ship, who

362
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: had that hip injury, will not be activated from injury

363
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: reserve for Week eleven against the Bills, So don't go

364
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: firing him up. Michael Badgeley still the kicker from um.

365
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 1: How about this Andy Reid saying there's a chance the

366
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs don't activate Clyde Edwards, a layer until after next

367
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: week's by. Yeah, something that there's a bye sitting there.

368
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: They've gotten themselves back into it. There's you know, it

369
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: seems like a logical decision. You mean, if he is activated,

370
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't know that I can run startom either. That's

371
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: the other, the other side of the equation, like you

372
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: would like to see one game and one usage because

373
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: Williams isn't bad, and then he has his by and

374
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: so basically your second round draft pick hopefully that's where

375
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: you Maybe you got him into third. But he's kind

376
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: of been a wasted season the last like seven weeks

377
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: or so. I didn't love him going into the draft.

378
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not that he's not the goal lineback.

379
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: He doesn't block well enough to be the third down back.

380
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: What is he? I mean, I'm curious he might be

381
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 1: useful in the fantasy playoffs for you if you had lasted.

382
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I I'll bet there were a lot of

383
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: people out there who ended up with this pairing Christian

384
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Clyde Edwards Hilaire. Oh yeah, because that's right

385
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: where they were. Both of those guys are right. If

386
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: you had you had the first, you had the first

387
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: overall pick and either got him at late second, early third,

388
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: same area was where Clyde Edwards Hilaire was going. And

389
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: I'm going running back, running back, baby, and there it is. Yeah.

390
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 1: If I don't take him now, I can't wait till

391
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,360
Speaker 1: you know the big long stretch after that. Oh yeah,

392
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: I bet the a lot of people out there like that.

393
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: Oh same yeah, same thing. Um, oh this count This

394
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: comes out of Brown's practice today. Donovan people Jones left

395
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: practice early after he came up limping on a route. Wow,

396
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: they're lighted receiver anyways, yikes, I don't know if Schwartz

397
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: has been played. Is gonna play? Schwartz with the concussion

398
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: did not practice on Wednesday? Is it just a Landry

399
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 1: with the knee did not practice on Wednesday? The quarterback

400
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: banged up? Yeah, Baker Mayfield with seventeen multiple injuries did

401
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: not practice. On Where do they play this week? It's

402
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: the Lions. I bet they shut everyone down and just

403
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: think they can win it with or without Chubb and

404
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: just dominate the line of scrimmage, and it might not

405
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: go well. It might not work that way. Stefanski also

406
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 1: saying Kareem Hunt will not playing week eleven, but he's

407
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: getting close. Brown's Nation Radio might sound a lot like

408
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: Steelers Nation Bob Right on Monday, Right, Yeah, it could

409
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 1: be the sky is falling. Yeah, for sure. DeAndre Hopkins

410
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: with a hamstring, was not seeing at practice on Wednesday.

411
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: For them, I thought there was some excitement that him

412
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: and Kyler could be back this week potentially. I think

413
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: it's closer with Kyler than it is with Hopkins. Latavius

414
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: Murray ankle with the ankle injury, returned to practice on Wednesday.

415
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: That's why they were able to release Libyan Bell. I

416
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: don't know that he goes past Freeman though. Yeah. I

417
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: think if you're starting one of those two, I think

418
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: I'd rather start Free'd rather Yeah, I think so, because

419
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: you can't pretty well. Yeah, he's done nothing to hurt

420
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: himself there. That's not like Murray was great. Lamar Jackson

421
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: sent home from where Ravens practice on Wednesday with an illness.

422
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: He had a lot of illnesses in the last year.

423
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: He's not he's not vaccinated. So anytime he has anything,

424
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 1: you're gonna send him home like you have to be.

425
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 1: You have to be careful about it. That's hard, man.

426
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean again, I don't want to get into the

427
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 1: politics of it or why the young man doesn't decide

428
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: to do it, but it, boy, you make it harder

429
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: on your team and coaches, no doubt, no doubt. Uh.

430
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 1: To your point about Murray, he participated in the open

431
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: portion of Cardinals practice on Wednesday, Kyler, we're talking about

432
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: how we're talking about the Ravens Murray. Yeah, he doesn't

433
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: run that much anymore though. No, that's the thing. He's

434
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: fighting an injury. He doesn't run and he's that's gonna

435
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: be the thing that that kind of holds him back

436
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: over the course of his career because he's always gonna

437
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: be he's tiny, hey, sonic that he's not going to

438
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: grow right, right. They can't stretch him in the offseason.

439
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: Put him on the rack and he's three more inches

440
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: at him and add another twenty pounds. Not gonna happen.

441
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen. And he's a really good passer. Yeah,

442
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: I mean he doesn't need to run to be effective.

443
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: He's not Jalen Hurts, but it's sure helps, right, And

444
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: that makes him the first or second best quarterback in

445
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: the league compared to the ten you know what I mean.

446
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: That's a big deal. Is a capable of lightening it up.

447
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of big deals, Cordarrel Patterson will be a game

448
00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: time decision. Yeah. I saw that against the Patriots. But

449
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: way they need him. But at least it's Thursday, so

450
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: if you own them, you got time. You say, Okay,

451
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: he's active, I'll throw him in. Don't just put the

452
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: plug him into the lineup and then go to your kids.

453
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: Basketball came on Thursday. I hope that he's playing, And

454
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,640
Speaker 1: to be honest, it's a bad matchup for Atlanta and

455
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: if you can do better, you know. He's a tough

456
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: matchup though for any team because the way he catches

457
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 1: the football. They did some stuff with him where run

458
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 1: him to the flat and then all of a sudden, boom,

459
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: he takes off and you get, I got a linebacker

460
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: around me, I'm gonna run past this guy. They run

461
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: They use them really well. Yeah, if he's not active,

462
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: I was looking into this because their head coach kind

463
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: of came out and said, we were getting killed last week.

464
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: So we played a lot of guys. We don't count

465
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: on playing a lot of snaps. I'm paraphrasing because we're

466
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: playing Thursday night. I think he was talking about Gollman

467
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: and Davis, like, if Patterson's out, this is a leap

468
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: of faith. But I think Davis is gause. He's been

469
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: so at Yeah. I mean like everyone's picking up Gallman

470
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: tonight in this week, and Davis might be the Davis

471
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: might be the guy if Patterson's out. If he's out,

472
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to see more teams. You know, again, you're

473
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: talking about a guy who's got a wide receiver body,

474
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: um big strong. So if and I'm sorry, I'm shocked

475
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: we haven't seen more of it thus where we did

476
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: see Deebo in the backfields? Oh yeah, but you run

477
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: him out into the flat. Nine times out of ten,

478
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: you run the running back out into the flat. I

479
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: don't care who it is, you're gonna get a linebacker

480
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: on him and then just okay, go yeah, yeah, yeah.

481
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: And you know that kind of stuff that could be

482
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: something that's the way of the future, Like why hasn't

483
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: Chennault doing that? Yeah? Yeah, okay, I mean it could

484
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: handle that five snaps the game. Or you know a

485
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: guy like a James Washington who's got that that same

486
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: kind of PHYSIQUEO. Maybe he's not. You're never gonna hand

487
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: him the box. He's worried about you hand up a

488
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: traditional run, you know, but more of that kind of stuff. Yeah,

489
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: they're they're more what position does this guy play? You know? Um?

490
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 1: Which brings me to pits a little bit too, because

491
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: he's getting so much attention to everybody's number one corner. Yeah,

492
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean they still throw them ball a lot. He's

493
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 1: only scored one touchdown this year. He's hard to put

494
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: on your bench, But man, it's I kind of feel

495
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: for him. Poor rookie tight end is like they're asking

496
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: him to be Randy Moss or you know, Dante Adams

497
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: and there. Man. Yeah. One final note, uh, the Jets

498
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: this week plan to start Joe Flacco a quarterback. Yeah.

499
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: Do you think that's good or bad? For their running

500
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: backs have been catching a ton of passes with White

501
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: as the quarterback. Flacco, we'll check it down, Yeah, he'll

502
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: check it down. And he's he's not good anymore. But

503
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: he's an NFL player, you know what I mean, He's

504
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: been around the block. I think he'll I don't think

505
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: he'll kill the offense. I don't think he'll help it

506
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,360
Speaker 1: though either. It can't be worse than last week. Though

507
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: their usage is goofy though too, like Elijah Moore is

508
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: still only playing like snaps and he produces every time

509
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: he's on the field, you know, like pick five guys.

510
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: But again, I don't know Flacco's Is he gonna pepper

511
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: Corey Davis with targets? I have no You have no idea,

512
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 1: and I have no idea. You equate him with the

513
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: Jets because he was there recently, but they just traded

514
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: for him a week ago, yea, and all the guys

515
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: were talking about Corey Davis wasn't there. He wasn't there,

516
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: and he hasn't played with any of these guys, No,

517
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: not at all. Yeah, it's obviously an avoid situation. I

518
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: think Carter is the only one you could start. That's

519
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: That's the only thing that I look at and say,

520
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to play any Jets this week because

521
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: I have no idea. What's going to have a clue?

522
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: What their their plan? Is Yeah. So anyways, that's gonna

523
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: do it for the Fantasy Football Focus and the show.

524
