We had a wild card weekend. 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.240 We're gonna break it down game by game. Tell you 0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.720 what I thought you could take away, not only to 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:30.560 spind forward to make a little bit of cache for 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.880 the rest of the playoffs, but also what it could 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.480 mean for the future of fantasy football. Okay, you are 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.959 always logging things into your mind that you want to 0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.399 remember as we move along, So like we will on 0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.160 a Monday. We're not doing waiver wires anymore, right because 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.280 the fantasy football season is largely done, but we will 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.080 do what speeds kind of got right and what Speed's 0:01:49.120 --> 0:01:52.320 got wrong in each game, all right, and then yes, 0:01:52.680 --> 0:01:55.160 what we need to do, Henry is we need to 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:59.720 update speeds versus the kids. And uh, Henry is all over, 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.320 how Danny and I did Danny, do you see Henry 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:08.160 already in the chat He's already letting us know. But yes, 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.800 we will detail this and why I was an interesting 0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.920 why I was an interesting week for us, But um, 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.679 and then listen, I also wanted to talk. Remember last 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.240 week I started talking about our sports resolutions for so 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.880 Henry Henderson ben in the chatroom, Francisco, g Um, let 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:26.880 me know what are your sports resolutions for the year? 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:31.120 All right? And moving forward, I talked about like strikeouts mattering. 0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:35.280 I Also here's another one in can we not project 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:40.600 what we think athletes should do because of what we 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.200 want them to do, you know, like whether it's a 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.840 guy like Zion Williamson or Trevor Lawrence or two attack 0:02:46.880 --> 0:02:49.640 of aaloa and how much they play in college or 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.880 should they sit out like we say, oh, Zion hidn't 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:56.440 have played, or if it's like Manny Machado getting a 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.840 contract right, or the idea of the refs and instant 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.760 re play, like can we just give that up? And 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.240 we'll talk about that obviously with what happened in that 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:07.119 end zone very close to the original sin for pass 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:11.040 interference replay um that was happening last last year in 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:14.359 the same building. But in any event, let's get it started. 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:16.560 But we also we gotta pull a question up as 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:18.880 it relates to the Saints as well, right, and my 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.119 poll question here is should each team get a possession 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:26.200 in overtime? Okay, because listen, remember at this point five 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.679 ten years ago with the Minnesota Vikings and Brett farve Um, 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:33.000 they uh went down the field to kick the field 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.760 goal in that playoff game, and uh that was it. 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.680 And so now it's like, oh, if you get a 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.640 field goal, the other team gets a possession. What about 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:45.920 just letting both teams get a possession? Should both teams 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.200 get a possession? Maybe it's closer to college and people 0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.640 don't like it. Maybe people are like, listen, your defense 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.920 is apart one of the three phases of this game. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.720 Just stop the other team. And you know, I don't disagree. 0:03:56.920 --> 0:04:00.040 You're gonna hear this retroactive stuff now because listen, the 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.520 NFL is reactionary. It was reactionary to the past interference 0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:05.960 in the Dome last year, you know. And I wonder 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.080 will this continue the drumbeat for the idea of both 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.160 teams getting the ball in overtime? But we gotta pull 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:14.040 question up. So let me know if you think, yes, 0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.400 both teams should get it, no, both teams shouldn't, or 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:18.479 if this should maybe be like only a playoff rule 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:21.279 similar to how listen, there's only instant replay in overtime 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.200 and after the last two minutes without a challenge, so 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.920 you know it would not be without precedent. Will and 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.920 and and I've got another idea for this, alright, I'll 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:32.720 tell you maybe a little bit later on in the show. 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:36.400 I've got an idea for how it could be really cool, 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.640 Like it's never gonna happen. Remember when I've had my 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:41.560 my platform for like the All Star Challenges and stuff 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:43.320 like that. I've got an idea to make over time 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.680 really really interesting in the NFL. Although you know it 0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.839 is tongue in cheek a little bit, all right, But 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:51.480 for the teams who are still playing, the final eight teams, 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.880 let's get into some of the injury concerns. These are 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.520 the people you are going to need to think about 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.160 as you know you're filling out DFS lineups for ISSI 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.200 in a weekend. Some of you guys have playoff formats 0:05:03.560 --> 0:05:05.600 left and right. Okay, So here's what you need to know. 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.320 The Seattle Seahawks, right, they moved on. Listen, Offensive tackle 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:11.560 Dwayne Brown. You gotta worry about him still with that 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.240 menisca's tear or the meniscus issue. Guard Mike you potty, 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.359 So this is that offensive line, right, And I was 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:20.680 talking about this when it comes to Seattle. But Russell Wilson, 0:05:20.720 --> 0:05:24.480 you know, does Russell Wilson things? Right? So your potty, 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:27.080 they say may come back for that game against Green Bay. 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.400 That's two starting offensive Lineman. All right, to keep an 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:31.080 eye on that. But but you know who was back 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:33.039 to Daveon Clowney, and boy did he make an impact 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:37.240 for those Seattle Seahawks yesterday on Houston. Gotta monitor will 0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.400 Fuller still okay, he did not play on Saturday. Now 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.520 as the Texans move along to play the Kansas City 0:05:42.560 --> 0:05:46.039 Chiefs on they are the first game on Sunday, I 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.400 believe will will Fuller be back in the lineup. That's 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:51.480 something you gotta see. Listen in the same vein as 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.840 Daveon Clowney coming back making an impact. J J. Watt 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.440 came back and made an impact for the Houston Texans. 0:05:58.440 --> 0:05:59.640 As we'll talk about it on the other side of 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.880 the break. I think his sack in the third quarter 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.880 really was kind of the turning point for that first 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.440 wild card game. We'll go through all four games in Minnesota, right, 0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:13.320 they they look pretty good. They did not have many injuries. Right, 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.200 So what do you got. You got cook looking refreshed 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.480 as hell. You got Madison, Uh, you know he's back, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.840 he got he got touches yesterday, so they look relatively 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.880 healthy for Tennessee. You still had uh Adam Humphreeze maybe 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.840 the monitor, but they look decent coming back. This week 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.880 for San Francisco, Kwan Alexander needs to be looked at. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.440 The linebacker d Ford with a hamstring. Those two guys 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.240 pieces of their defense they would need. You gotta watch that. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.400 This week for Green Bay, it's blog of the tackle. Okay, 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.919 Ryan Blog a huge tackle, Pro Bowl caliber offensive lineman. 0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.479 Still in the concussion protocol all right. For Baltimore, the 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.000 big name is obviously mark Ingram the running back. He's 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:53.960 coming back from a calf We think he's going to 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.760 be good to go. And Kansas City remember my pick 0:06:56.839 --> 0:07:00.159 the Kansas City Chiefs. They seem to be pretty healthy. 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.440 Remember they were trying to manage the carries and the 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:05.160 reps of Shady McCoy coming in with the extra week 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.560 and uh, you know Andy Reid after the buy, things 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:11.320 look good for the Kansas City Chiefs. I'll tell you why. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.560 I think it looks even better. Uh later on in 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.840 the show and the news here we know about the 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:20.080 Patriots will detail them that. But also, guys, the Carrots 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:23.680 did the Cowboys did finally move on from Jason Garrett. 0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:27.720 They've hired Mike McCarthy. I'll tell you what I think 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.280 on the other side. To be honest, it's six of one, 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.640 half a dozen of the other. I don't know it 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.760 moves the needle when I do think moves the needle more. 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:40.680 Oh boy Ta declared for the draft, so teams are 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.760 gonna trade up for him, all right, Dilley, Dilley will 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:45.560 come on back.

Cipher to Cipher is 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.559 live as usual, less so than normal. You know, fantasy 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:44.040 football is done, but the real deal stats of beats 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.439 Cipher in the building, Francisco g letting me know that. 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:49.079 You know, I am the guy who still puts the 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:50.839 money in the wall. And despite the speeds verse the 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.280 kids record ben uh talking about how both teams should 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:58.440 get a shot in overtime. I don't necessarily disagree. And 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.800 he's asked me for next year already. Yeah, man, you 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.160 gotta always get that depth. You always gotta keep thinking, 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:07.600 all right, you always gotta build uh because you never 0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:09.640 know when someone's gonna go down, whether it's the bye weeks. 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:11.920 But then remember when it comes to playoff time, you 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:15.319 want to kind of sharpen that and condense your roster 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.240 a little bit more. I do not think McCarthy is 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.280 going to hurt Zeke. I've seen a lot of that 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:23.720 out there already, been in social media and other places, 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.680 that he's gonna somehow hurt Zeke because they split carries 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.719 and stuff like that. Listen, you have Zeke, who is 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.000 one of the best uh three down backs in all 0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.680 the NFL. I think McCarthy will adjust, Okay, I think 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.160 he should. I think he needs to. I think he will. 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:37.520 I think it'll be fine, all right, But obviously we'll 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:40.160 see more and ken Tony Pollard start to grow in 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.120 his role. I guess maybe a little bit, but nothing 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.960 to infringe upon. Zeke still being an RB one q 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:48.120 q Q. Wilson says, hey, just play the entire full quarter, 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:53.120 you know, and I don't like that's cool. The problem 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.199 with that is, you know, football is such a violent game. 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.760 People get hurt so much. You know you're gonna start 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.680 to see a huge biking injuries after they've already played, 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.800 and you're like, hey, they gotta be warriors. I get it. 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.680 But just in the current climate and culture and context 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.120 of the NFL, they'd never let that happen. Uh. And 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:12.880 then my man Henry Henderson is wondering about Tom Brady. 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:16.760 What will happen with Tom Brady next year? I think 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.040 he might play somewhere else. I think this is an 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:20.880 opportunity for him to get away. And remember that's why 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:22.760 I've said this quarterback Merry go round is gonna be 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.640 so interesting. I've been saying it for weeks, all right. 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.320 I've had names like Rivers and Brady on this carousel. 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:32.080 We'll do that coming up after the after the divisional round, 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.239 and we'll take a deep look at the quarterback carousel 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.199 as these things settle a little bit. But also listen, Ben, 0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:41.160 you were mentioned about McCarthy, and so they do finally 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.559 hire mccap McCarthy. The first thing I'm gonna say is, 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:46.640 I think they did Jason Garrett wrong. All right, Listen, 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.760 I don't think they stringing him out like this. I 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:50.520 don't care if he was lobbying for his job, but 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:52.480 whatever it is, I think this is a bad look 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.160 for the entire organization because it now also puts Garrett 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.320 behind the eight ball if he wants to go get 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.360 another job. Teams are interviewing not only for coaches, coordinator 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.240 and stuff like that, and now he's kind of late 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.440 to the party to get another job. So I don't 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.760 think that was a good look. Um. And as McCarthy 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:11.280 really gonna like challenge Jerry Jones. You know, we talked 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:13.560 about it all the time. These teams that are run well, 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:16.760 well run organizations, they do well. The teams that are 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.800 messed up at the top is a is a veteran 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.679 retread head coach really gonna move the needle. I'm not 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:27.559 so sure. Okay, So we'll see Dallas has some pieces, 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:30.320 but they got some decisions to make as well, obviously 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.000 as it relates to Doc, as it relates to Amari. 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:35.280 We'll see what happens with that offensive line, which was 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.600 one of the best in football, but has somewhat taken 0:11:37.600 --> 0:11:40.160 a step back. A lot of questions on the defensive 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.720 side actually now with vander esh having next surgery, so 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:46.280 we'll see what happens. But yes, finally they move on 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.760 from Garrett. They do in fire, they do in fact 0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:53.560 higher um by McCarthy. So let's talk about what we 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:57.120 saw on these games. First one was the Houston Buffalo game. 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.760 And listen, all of these games were crazy, and yes, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.560 Danny and I didn't have a good week, but like 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:05.840 all these games were incredibly close, right, So the Houston Buffalo, 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.000 I gotta tell you. And there's gonna be some recurring 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:12.559 themes here, like, for example, the way that Houston um 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.560 held the Bills to field goals at the beginning of 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:17.080 this game, where in the second quarter of this game 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.679 wasn't very important, much like Tennessee doing it with the 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.800 goal line stand at the end of the second quarter 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.920 with New England. Right, I think we saw the highs 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:27.080 and the lows of Josh Allen. I am prepared to 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:29.440 say that, remember my thing all year, one of the 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:34.880 things Speed's got, right, Mar Jackson, Patrick Malmes and DeShawn 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:38.160 Watson Right, And DeShawn Watson ultimately makes the signature play, 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:42.280 the Superman play where two Buffalo Bills crash into him 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.720 and he spins out and makes what is a game 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.600 defining play. Right. But I gotta tell you, Josh Allen 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.080 is right on the precipice from joining them. When Tom 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:52.920 Brady moves along and this wave happens, You're gonna have 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.600 my Homes in the west. You're gonna have Lamar in 0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:56.680 the north, You're gonna have Watson in the south. And 0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:59.559 even though I'm a Jets fan, you know Josh Allen 0:12:59.640 --> 0:13:02.439 is ahead right now of Baker Mayfield and Sam Donald 0:13:02.480 --> 0:13:05.040 and all that. And he was making some ridiculous places. 0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.480 He ran for ninety five yards. Okay, he made some 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:11.320 throws as well. In his first playoffs start. The arrow 0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:13.800 was pointing up for Buffalo. But we also said some 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:17.040 bone head nonsense. All right, We saw the lateral, We 0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.560 saw him taking the intentional grounding and towards the end 0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.280 of regulation, we saw him in overtime decided to chuck 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:28.040 at forty yards downfield to double coverage to his full back. Hello, 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:33.160 he played to win the game. Um, but you know 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.080 he wants to make plays. He's still raw rough around 0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.720 the asia edges and will make those mistakes. Right. The 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:40.880 wat sack was huge. And I also gotta tell you, 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.280 Devin Single Charry, here's something I gotta tell you, guys, 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.160 market down Jilly, if you're if you're watching and listening, 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.080 Devin Singletary is one of these rookie running backs who 0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.120 have been ascending. I said it all the time, and 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:54.760 you know how last year I was on the second 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.640 year sending wide receivers. I will be on that as well. 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.520 But the second year talent is I like these guys 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.360 taking a jump, and Devin Singletary I think could be 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:06.720 a high end RB two next year. He may even 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:10.560 be able to sneak into you know, back end RB 0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:14.400 one territory. If someone comes out in August and he's 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:18.120 rated ranked as like you're eleven or twelfth running back 0:14:18.600 --> 0:14:21.480 or you know, eleven through fourteen fifteen, I ain't mad 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.960 at that alright, Devin Singletary, the arrow is pointing up 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.520 and this this Buffalo team. I like it. But with 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:31.960 with with Houston. Listen, you see DeShawn Watson making the play, 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:35.360 but Shawn Watson also got sacked seven times. That offensive 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.440 line is still a problem. I've told you it's been 0:14:37.480 --> 0:14:39.560 a problem. It continues to be a problem. And with 0:14:39.600 --> 0:14:42.680 the Kansas City Chiefs defense getting better and better, Terrell 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.440 sucks now right, I'm worried that they're gonna get too 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.800 much pressure on DeShawn Watson and they can continue to 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.960 get to him. Will he make plays, probably, but he's 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.320 gonna be under pressure all day long. That Kansas City 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.240 Chiefs defense is getting better. Um. In the Tennessee New 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.920 England game, which was next on Saturday night, listen, let 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:03.800 first talk about the game. Another huge goal line stand shot. Evans, 0:15:03.800 --> 0:15:07.200 a linebacker on Tennessee, had himself a night. Okay, he 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.600 was all over the field. That goal line stand really 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.760 was big because if not if goes SEV seven, they 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:15.840 may they may not come back and score at the 0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:18.120 begin the end of the second half. That was huge 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.120 a right. Also, Derek M. F Henry all December, I 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.680 was telling you about Derrick Henry right, and how he 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.800 provides the balance. And for the eight, for the A. J. 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.920 Brown and the Ryan Tannehill, they knew it was coming 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:35.840 and he ran on them anyway. Thirty four carries a 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:40.240 hundred and eighty two yards and a touchdown yard reception 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.200 that I thought was in a touchdown anyway, two hundred 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.720 scrimmage yards. And here's the thing, the Pats knew it 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:50.360 was coming. Uh, maybe they took away the over the 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.480 top right A J. Brown didn't do much, but it 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.360 don't matter. As you saw as time went on, they 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:59.720 wanted no part of tackling Derrick Henry. And the thing 0:15:59.840 --> 0:16:04.800 is is that might be in play this weekend when 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.840 they play Baltimore, all right, because it's gonna be raining 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:14.000 on Saturday night in Baltimore, and over time, it is 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:17.520 tough to tackle Derrick Henry. And I'll also say this, 0:16:17.720 --> 0:16:20.400 Mike Vrabel, gotta give him a little bit of love too. 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:23.080 If you saw them take the delay a game and 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.480 then take the false start with the penalty to wind, 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:28.800 they wound a minute and like twenty five seconds off 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:31.360 of clock there right before the five minute mark. And 0:16:31.400 --> 0:16:34.320 that was brilliant, Okay, Belichick knew it. I knew it 0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.480 when we saw what was going on. We have seen 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.360 Belichick try this earlier in the season, and then you 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:41.280 know it's a big time difference. Tom Brady got the 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:43.840 ball back, but with twenty seconds left ultimately to a 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:47.680 pick six. If he's got a minute forty there, it's different. Alright. 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.480 So that was great play by Vrabel that stood away. 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.640 And of course now we do have to address are 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:57.200 the Patriots done. I think the first domino to fall 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.800 is Josh McDaniels already hearing stuff about Brady. I'm not 0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:04.240 gonna give him a hometown discount. Oh, it wouldn't be 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.200 surprised if he've moved on. Listen, we saw it with 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.760 Joe Montana, we saw it with Joe Namath, we saw 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:13.399 it with Peyton Manning. Okay, it's not unprecedented for an 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:18.240 all time great to close out going somewhere else. And 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:20.600 the Patriots are always a step ahead of the game, right, 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.479 So I think McDaniels will be the first one to go. 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.000 The offensive coordinator. I think he will take the job 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:29.200 this time, whether it's in New York or Cleveland or Carolina. 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:31.840 And then why would Brady want to do it. You 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:34.560 heard of all the tension. Maybe he wants to ride 0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:36.320 off in the sunset somewhere else. I don't know where 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:38.920 it's gonna be just yet. If you put a gun 0:17:38.960 --> 0:17:40.920 to my head, and I know Henry was asking about it, 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:42.600 like and that's a pole and we will do that 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.040 as a poll question maybe next week, all right, but 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.159 I think he's playing somewhere else to be quiet, honest, 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.800 all right? Yes, you know I said this was the 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:54.160 end of it, and boy didn't come crashing down on 0:17:54.240 --> 0:17:57.080 Saturday night. When we come back, we uh take our 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:00.560 takeaways from the NFC game. It's so fresh and so clean. 0:18:01.000 --> 0:18:03.159 And then we get two speeds versus the kids. Danny 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.960 and I reluctantly update the standings of speeds versus kids 0:18:07.440 --> 0:18:10.840 after these NFC takeaways.

Yesterday we were going over um our 0:19:48.800 --> 0:19:52.920 lineups for the slate of yesterday's games, and no, we 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.560 we killed it. I told people I like Feeling better 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:59.000 than Stefan Digs and he was cheaper. I told people 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:03.400 I liked, oh yeah, dk Metcalf better than Tyler Lockett 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:06.320 and he was cheaper. And similarly, I said, I believe 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.480 in God Dallas Goddard over zach Ertz. All three of 0:20:09.520 --> 0:20:11.880 those things would have helped your DFS lineup. I hope 0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:14.800 you hit that cache. With the stats of beat Cipher. 0:20:14.840 --> 0:20:17.600 We got someone new and the cipher.

I 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.680 hope you become real deal stats of beat Cipher. For me, 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.000 the key of the Saints vikings the game was Dalvin Cook. 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.880 All Right. We saw in the same way that I'm 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:36.080 talking about Derrick Henry and the commitment to the run game. 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.760 And we also saw just a few weeks ago Minnesota 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.920 without Dalvin Cook, when everybody thought Mike Boone was gonna 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.080 take them to a Fantasy Championship, right, And I said 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:48.560 it then real deal stats of beat Cipher crew, you 0:20:48.600 --> 0:20:51.760 know what it is, Alright.
