1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,080
Speaker 1: At least.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: He's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven Home of the Black and

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 2: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

5
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 1: And we are back. I'm Dale Lolly, he is Theean,

6
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:21,799
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson and Matt. It's time for the fantasy football

7
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: folks here to kick off our number two and they'll

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: take a look at the first the practice sports from

9
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: today and then we'll put together a little Captain's chair lineup.

10
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: I like night on DraftKings. Telici Fulaga with the back

11
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: injury did not practice for the for the New Orleans Saints.

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 3: I mean, everyone's raving about how well his first game

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: at left tackle went, and I think we'd like to

14
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 3: unlock him out.

15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: I think that back issue was something he had in

16
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: college too.

17
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 3: That sounds familiar. When you said back, I was like,

18
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: I think that is something that's been around for him.

19
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Marshaun Lattimore didn't practice for them either. Doesn't sound good.

20
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: No, and they got a much tougher game obviously this

21
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: week too.

22
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. For Denver, Josh Reynolds was back at practice. He's

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: dealing with the little achilles issue. They use it out

24
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: of the game after that the Von Vley, though with

25
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: the rib injury, did not practice. Oh wow, I mean

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: there's receivers are kind of questionable to begin with.

27
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 3: We opened the show's slot. Yeah yeah, I mean his

28
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 3: average up the target like four inches hand the football.

29
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 3: I wonder if Mems gets more run. You know, we're

30
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: talking abou him earlier.

31
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: Maybe. I mean they're kind of always on the outside.

32
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,919
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he wouldn't be in the slot.

33
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know who would move into the slot

34
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: for them. Maybe they move Sutton to get away from Porter.

35
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 3: Maybe Sutton plays more slot. I mean he's capable.

36
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the porter has followed receivers into.

37
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: The slut before he has. That'd be an interesting alignment stuff.

38
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, Nico Collins with an illness limited practice Thursday.

39
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: Okay, usually they don't linger it all the way to Sunday,

40
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 3: but you know who knows.

41
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, Damian Pierce with a hamstring limited Thursday. Okay.

42
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: I think Acres was inactive, so Pierce was the true too. Yeah,

43
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: and they ran the ball at the ball a lot.

44
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. Zach Moss dealing with a minor neck injury for Cincinnati.

45
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, you called it with him. I mean I thought

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: it was gonna be a fifty to fifty split. But

47
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 3: Mossie's the guy. I mean that was pretty clear, so

48
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 3: that that's kind of an important one. He's more built

49
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 3: for it. Oh he is, He definitely is.

50
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: I mean I was a big fan of him coming

51
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: out of college. I couldn't understand why Buffalo didn't use him.

52
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: Oh I did.

53
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: We mocked him to the Steelers a couple of times.

54
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: You know, like the player. Yeah, uh, Jamis will Jamison

55
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: Williams with the ankle injury limited again on Thursday for

56
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: the Lions.

57
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 3: You don't love that first speed guy, No, I mean

58
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 3: he had a really big game. Now he needed to

59
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: put some consistency together and sewell still.

60
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: On the on participant on Thursday for them as well.

61
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 3: Okay, it's two days in a row like that.

62
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: No. Christian McCaffrey with the calf an achilles injury was

63
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: expected to practice Thursday. It's on the West Coast, so

64
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: we don't know as a yet. Is it a limited practice?

65
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 1: Is it a situation where did you say you know what.

66
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: They need to rush it?

67
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, take another week off.

68
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: We plan on playing twenty games this year. Yeah, you

69
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: know I need you for eighteen through twenty more than anything.

70
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I really think that's a big part of this

71
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: right now, because I think so even after the game,

72
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: they said, well, if this has been a playoff game,

73
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: he'd have played, yes, right, yeah, you know, and they

74
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: like the backup and yeah, may find the kind of

75
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: vikings this week. You know, it's it's on turf, big picture.

76
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: Yeah you do you like out there on turf with

77
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: a calf injury, Andy a sore achilles and saying, I

78
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: bet he sits this week.

79
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 3: I bet he does too. And they kind of said

80
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 3: that even last week, like, yeah, don't be shocked if

81
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: it's another week too. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.

82
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Roma Dune today with the knee injury mispractice again on Thursday.

83
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 3: Don't like seeing that.

84
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: But also sitting out was Keenan Allen with that heel issue.

85
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: Wow, how does that affect things other than DJ Moore

86
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: gets a spike?

87
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: DJ Moore may see twenty five, maybe Everett. The heel

88
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: issue was something that Alan dealt with last year.

89
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 3: That sounds familiar.

90
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, with the charge, so I wonder if this is

91
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: just an old guy let's yeah. Yeah. The thing that

92
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: does scare me though, is with the heel that's awfully

93
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: close to the achilles. No, that's true. That's true sometimes.

94
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Like I know, when I was still playing basketball on

95
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: a regular basis, I don't do that anymore. But even

96
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: well into my thirties and early forties, I was playing

97
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: basketball three four times a week, and my heels would

98
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: get sore because it was my achilles.

99
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 3: It was oh really okay, Okay, I see what you're saying. Yeah,

100
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: I mean, older guys with achilles are scary stuff.

101
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: I did not want to tear an achilles cornered the

102
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: market on the day he did.

103
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: He's got that down pack. Keep an eye on Allen.

104
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: He had a pretty good game. Yeah, I thought a

105
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 3: don't played well.

106
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: Jedrick Willis with the knee was upgraded to a limited

107
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: participant on Thursday for the Browns.

108
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 3: It's progress, but boy, their tackle situation.

109
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: Is a mess. Really they put another guy on IR today,

110
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: did they really? Yeah?

111
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 3: Defensive back? Okay, there's a lot of them on there.

112
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: They're just wow, happened like fall on apart? Yeah, bad shame.

113
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,799
Speaker 3: Tackle is a bad place to have multiple injuries.

114
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's not a bunch of them sitting on

115
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: the couch. Evans of tackles sitting out there. They're not

116
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: out there at all. Jerry Judy full participant today for them,

117
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: No big e. But yeah, he's dealing with the knee issue.

118
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, however with the foot issue, Okay, he dealt

119
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: with that last year. He didn't practice today. Obviously they're

120
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 1: going to use extreme caution. If there's anything, don't go

121
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: out there. But I mean, obviously that would derail their season. Yeah,

122
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: they can't not have that right now. They'd be real

123
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: They really don't have another premiere Pass Rusher.

124
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: No, the other guy's okay, but I mean they.

125
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: Of him five or six sack guys at most. He's yeah,

126
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,359
Speaker 1: of course. Darius Slaton with a concussion, limited a practice

127
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 1: on Thursday for the Giants. We'll see if he's able

128
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: to go full tomorrow. That would be a big step.

129
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: Gnarlschewsky with a groin injury. He's out. That's not happening.

130
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison was not pros spotted a practice on Thursday

131
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. He's got that ankle injury. That doesn't

132
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: sound good.

133
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 3: No, it's I don't think he's going to play.

134
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Josh Downs with the Colts was limited to practice on Thursday.

135
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 3: Ady Mitchell has a chance to be a kind of

136
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 3: a sleeper right now. He was open a lot.

137
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: They he just missed him, and that's a Richardson thing.

138
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: It just is right.

139
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: But if if Downs is out, I mean, I know

140
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 3: Pierce made the big plays, but keep an eye on Mitchell.

141
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Malik Neighbors with a knee issue added to the

142
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: injury report for the Giants. It's a giant thing. They

143
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: can't keep wide receivers healthy.

144
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: It's true, and sounds like a couple of their top

145
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 3: guys are already banged up.

146
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. Tyree Wilson with the Raiders defensive end did not

147
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday. They play the Ravens. That's noteworthy. Marshawn

148
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: Lloyd for the Packers was limited on Thursday with that hamstring.

149
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 1: I would think you bring him along side. Yeah, I

150
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: don't think they rush him back for this week.

151
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: It did hear good Jordan Love news though. I guess

152
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 3: the floor said.

153
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: The floor said he doesn't have to practice to play,

154
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: that he's not even ruled out for this week.

155
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I'm just thinking for next week or the.

156
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: I think maybe they get they got their way because

157
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: they didn't sign somebody. Yeah, maybe they got it out

158
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: this week and then hope he's ready to.

159
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 3: Get the impression I got too, you know, like I

160
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 3: was even critical. I'm like, boy, I've been a phone

161
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 3: with Tannehill, but I'm in the building.

162
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, you know.

163
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: I mean, if they only think it's one week thing,

164
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: then you live with it. You probably lose and move on,

165
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: you know.

166
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: T Higgins absent from practice on Thursday again for the Bengals.

167
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: He ain't playing this. Yeah, they're in trouble, they really are.

168
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: They lose this when they go to oh and two.

169
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: And we went over those numbers yesterday on what happens

170
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: when you start oh and two.

171
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 3: I was watching more of their game and it added

172
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 3: up even more and more why they drafted Mems the

173
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 3: right tackle they signed the Giant Jones. Yeah, he was

174
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 3: really he was awful, really really bad.

175
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: The problem is his mims has been hurt, I know. Yeah,

176
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: and he didn't have a ton of experience. That was

177
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I didn't love him. I mean,

178
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 1: obviously the talent is there. Oh yeah, he's played like

179
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: eight career games in college, right, I mean, and they

180
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: might need him sooner than they plan. Yeah, and that

181
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: might be an issue. I mean, you can be learning

182
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: on the job. Oh you don't want to throw the

183
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: most rookies right, right right, you don't throw him in right.

184
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz with the ankle injury, did not practice on Thursday.

185
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: Okay, we talked about that little yesterday. But that's I

186
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: mean the three receiver. Well you said meat Nico mys time.

187
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, so all of a sudden there, yeah, Pie

188
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: gets a little smaller a tank out fire up tank Dell.

189
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: I say tanked. Dell is a nice bilow right now. Theah,

190
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: he didn't put up a lot of points, but he's.

191
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: Gonna be out there.

192
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 3: He's a really good player.

193
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs was limited in practice on Thursday. That's a

194
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: back issue for him.

195
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: He takes a beating. I mean through this in the

196
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 3: stat pack this year that Naji Harris has nine and

197
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 3: ninety nine touches since he entered the league, which is

198
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: the most in the league. Jacobs is behind him. I

199
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 3: mean he's the second most. It's like fifty less. But

200
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: still he's taken a pounding over the last couple of years.

201
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: And that's the thing with NAUSEI Harris when when people

202
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: say you don't draft a running back in the first round,

203
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff matters. Oh yeah, the availability that

204
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: he that he shows week after week after week.

205
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I was kind of comparing them to

206
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: Jacobs on knock on wood. You're not getting those similar

207
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 3: port to nausey, Yeah right, you so, reliability is a

208
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 3: big factor.

209
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: Jake Ferguson was seen doing rehab work on Thursday at

210
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys practice. Okay, they didn't rule him out either.

211
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: I know, I know it didn't look good when it happened,

212
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 3: but maybe it's fine.

213
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: The Jaguars plays Tyson Campbell in ir.

214
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 3: I thought that was the biggest news of the day. Yeah,

215
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a corner. I want to say he's

216
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 3: like at the Terrell level.

217
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: He's not the level.

218
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: He's a really good player and he's clearly their best corner.

219
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 3: Is a big drop off. They gave him big money

220
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 3: like a month ago. He was just hitting there, hitting

221
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 3: the prime of his career like that. That's a major

222
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: loss for that.

223
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, with a knee injury, showed up on Arizona's Okays.

224
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: Anything wrong with him? Yeah, listed as a full participant

225
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: but that's something that bears.

226
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: Watching, especially for his running skills and a.

227
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: Guy who's coming off a knee. I don't know if

228
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: it's the same kneed yeah tour, but definitely worth watching.

229
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: It's also a fantasy segment. I mean, how much running

230
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: is he gonna do? Yeah, you know that's part of

231
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: his value obviously. Tyler Lockett limited today for the Seattle Seahawks.

232
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 3: Okay, that could be a Cam Hayward veteran type move.

233
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 3: Could be, but he's also somebody gets stinged up a

234
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 3: fair amount too.

235
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, if you got Jackson Smith and jig By. No,

236
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: he didn't do much last week, but they didn't need

237
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: to do much last week. He's a Biloa type guy

238
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: for me too, I would I would love to get

239
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: Smith and Jake Moon God them you can do. Yeah,

240
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: you can pry him off of me maybe and maybe not.

241
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: We'll see. Uh Pooka Nakua. The news is not good

242
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: on him.

243
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: Oh, I think it's gonna be a whow head.

244
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: Coach Saan McVay said this could be like half the

245
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: season kind of thing. Yeah.

246
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: I mean they didn't hesitate to put him on IR.

247
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 3: I mean, if it's even close that he was gonna

248
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: come off ir you wouldn't have put him on.

249
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: Yeah.

250
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 3: All the reports out of that is not good. He

251
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: could miss a big stretch.

252
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

253
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: I think that definitely helps Cop. I mean we saw

254
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: it in action. I mean Cop would have twenty one

255
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: targets last week.

256
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,599
Speaker 1: It was it that high. Yeah, I know it's the

257
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: highest target share of anybody. But is he like a

258
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: top five receiver right now? Absolutely?

259
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would think are Yeah, he might be number one. Yeah,

260
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 3: it's back to that year where he hit the triple crown.

261
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have the Steelers injury report here. Russell Wilson

262
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: listed as a limited participant today. Patrick Queen did not practice.

263
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: He's dealing with a little bit of a groin. We'll

264
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: see where that goes. Full participant was Roman Wilson. Good,

265
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: So trending in the right direction. I don't know that

266
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: he's active this week. Yeah.

267
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: I wouldn't get your hopes up, folks, and he's out there,

268
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 3: you know, starting or anything like that. But the fact

269
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 3: that he's out there as the regular participants.

270
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: Great. Darius Rush was limited participant again today. Again, that's

271
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction. That's he didn't shut him

272
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: down after the limited participation yesterday. Missed that. Yeah, Dan

273
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: Moore's junior with the ankle. As we mentioned earlier, a

274
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: full participant Isaac Sayamalo, however, did not practice.

275
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 3: I'd be shocked if he plays.

276
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Cam Hayward got the day off, and then

277
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: yet also from yesterday, Larry Ogunjoby was limited yesterday with

278
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: the knee, was a full participant today. I think you

279
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: give Cam off one day, give oguin Joby off the other.

280
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: Mess what you're saying that way, You're still but I think.

281
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: You mentioned earlier Ogunjobi's health is better than it's been

282
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: the stage of the you know, the season, anyway you

283
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 3: cut it here, were we just talking about whatever? Roman Wilson, Yeah,

284
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm a psyched up for this. I don't

285
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: think he's gonna be playing Mollo. Yeah, okay, do you think.

286
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: He's probably there for Week three? I think there's a

287
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: much better chance that he plays week three.

288
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: I think that's a good target.

289
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, yeah, absolutely, We'll see if he gets

290
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: maybe limited on Wednesday, and then see how it feels,

291
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: and you build up to that, and Anderson would go

292
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: right back at guard. So yeah, Matt's time to put

293
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: together eight draft line up for tonight. We're gonna do

294
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: this as a captain's chair.

295
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: So I need the rules again. We could take two kickers,

296
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 3: we could take two quarter tacks.

297
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: Any anybody who's playing in tonight's game. You get a

298
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: captain's chairs, which is one and a half times the points,

299
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: which you also pay one and a half times the salary.

300
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 3: Like Josh Allen or Tyreek is going to be pretty

301
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: darn expensive.

302
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: And then you have five flex players that can be

303
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 1: anything after that could be to both defenses, could be whatever. Okay,

304
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: So looking at some of the captain's shares, Tyreek Hills

305
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: seventeen to four, Josh Allen is sixteen to five, Devin

306
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: a chan is fourteen to four.

307
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 3: Questionable game time. We can't put him in today.

308
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: I think he might.

309
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna play. Yeah, in our league. I

310
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 3: have him in the lineup. I think I'm hoping he plays.

311
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 3: You know, shouldn't Allen be more than Tyreek? Conceivably him

312
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 3: in quarterbacks? Is score more than points?

313
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 1: Uh to Attago vlo is fourteen one, Cook is thirteen

314
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: to five, Bottle is twelve nine. Dalton Kincaid is ten to.

315
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: Eight after a really slow week.

316
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir nine to three. Both the backup quarter all

317
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: the backup quarterbacks. Then, and you're looking at Keyon Coleman

318
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: at eight seven, Samuel is eight to one. The kickers

319
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: Bass is seventy two hundred and Sanders is sixty six hundred.

320
00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: I think there's been a lot of points in it.

321
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: I do too. The Bill's defense of six thousand, Ray

322
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: Davis is fifty four hundred. The Dolphins defense is forty

323
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: five hundred. John Smith forty two hundred. Yeah, he burn

324
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: me burned a little. But Dawson Knox on the other

325
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: side of that is thirty nine hundred.

326
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: He what about the other running backs for Miami.

327
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: Well, Jeff Wilson is thirty six hundred, okay, And how

328
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: about the rook he is three thousand.

329
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: Because I mean, even if a Chan plays, somebody else

330
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 3: is gonna.

331
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 1: Get the bulk. I think it's Wilson. I think it's Wilson.

332
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: Yeah too.

333
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: I don't know put him in the captain's chair, but

334
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 3: I think Wilson's an appealing cheap guy.

335
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: He is for the money. I might put two in there.

336
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: At fourteen one, I was thinking about Allen. But you

337
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 1: say you can still get Allen probably, Yeah, two is

338
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: fourteen one. He's he's twenty four hundred dollars less than Allen.

339
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. I mean, Allen's gonna run more

340
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: and probably finish at more points.

341
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: A better fantasy quarterback, there's no doubt. But I mean

342
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 3: two is it's either that I think they're golla rip

343
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: him upwn the middle field.

344
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: It's it's either Tua, Cook or Wattle I think or

345
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: the Bottle was the.

346
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 3: Other one that caught my attention. I wouldn't mind having

347
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: Waddle in the lineup period. Yeah, but I'm fine with Tua.

348
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: Let's see what let's let's see what it looks like.

349
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: Let see what that build looks like.

350
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: That gives us in thirty five nine to spend on

351
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: the other five spots, we can average ten thousand, okay

352
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: per player the rest of away with that Tyreek is

353
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: eleven six Oh wow, okay, Josh Allen is eleven thousand. Yeah,

354
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: plug that in now. She don't want to be the

355
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: team that doesn't have the lineup when he has forty points.

356
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 1: A Chin is ninety six hundred, Cook is nine thousand,

357
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: Wattle is eight six.

358
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 3: I like Wattle in there.

359
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: Put Wattle in there to six. That leaves us, well,

360
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: we got we can average fifty four hundred on our

361
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: final three players.

362
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: To put Wilson in to get a cheapie.

363
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: Let's go, let's do it.

364
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll be the goal line back.

365
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: He is twenty four hundred.

366
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: Good, Okay, that bumps up our It gives us.

367
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: Now we can spend sixty nine to five on the

368
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: final two players. At thirteen to nine left, the kickers

369
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: are forty eight forty eight hundred and forty four hundred.

370
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: About to ask that question, at least that's a safe Yeah,

371
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: would you prefer Miami or Buffalo's kicker if we go

372
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 3: down that route? Miami's favored.

373
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, Miami's favored. Let's see if let's let's check and

374
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: see if there's somebody we want. So Tyreek's still eleven six.

375
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: That would only leave us with twenty three hundred to spend,

376
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: So we'd have to find somebody super cheap, super cheap.

377
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: A Chan is ninety six hundred, so we'd have I

378
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: just worry about him going out in the first quarter

379
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: or something. Cook is nine thousand. I would say, what

380
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: about cook kin Kaid is seventy two hundred. It's not bad.

381
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: I think he has a bounce back game.

382
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do too. Key on Coleman's the other one.

383
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 3: I was kind of curious about Shaquiras look good. Shakira

384
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 3: is sixty two hundred. M Coleman is fifty eight hundred.

385
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: What could we get with him? So if we go

386
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: that route, that leaves us eighty one hundred, and we

387
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: could still get kN Kaid and have money left over

388
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: over if we go even cheaper than that. Samuel was

389
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 1: fifty four hundred.

390
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 3: I think there's a plan for him. They didn't use

391
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 3: him in the preseason. I think they're trying to save him.

392
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: You want to plug Sanders in there and see what

393
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: that leaves us. Jason Sanders, oh, the kickicker. Yeah, that

394
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: leaves us ninety five hundred. That would actually get us.

395
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 3: We can get cook Okay cooks a peel.

396
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: We're one hundred dollars short of getting a Chan.

397
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 3: Want to put the other kicker in instead of Sanders?

398
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: If we put Bass in, we could get a Chan

399
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: or no, Bass is a little bit more. The Bill's

400
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: defense is four thousand.

401
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 3: I don't need their defense.

402
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: Get some sacks.

403
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 3: I would say, I think we're so and Phillips, though

404
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 3: both had really good week one.

405
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: If we want to go cheap, Dawson Knox or Johnny

406
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: Smith isn't isn't bad? They knock Dawson Knox is twenty

407
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: six hundred dollars, what's john twenty eight? I think I'd

408
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: probably rather Knox. What about like a ray Day that

409
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: would leave us eleven to three, that would get us

410
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: anybody that's almost getting us Tyreek kill?

411
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 3: What if we do it the opposite way, if we

412
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 3: were reverse constructed and put Tyreek in and see what

413
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: riff raff we have to pick from.

414
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: Okay, we can do it that way. So Tyreek's in there,

415
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: That leaves us twenty three hundred, and we could get Johnson.

416
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 1: We could actually get Right's right, Oh, he's two thousand.

417
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: He might not play at all, or he might be important.

418
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 3: I mean he'd be good. A Chan insurance. We have

419
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: a Chan in the lineup right now.

420
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's how you win these things.

421
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,719
Speaker 3: I mean, if a Chan gets hurt and it doesn't

422
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 3: destroy our lineup. Yeah, because right with.

423
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: Have Jeff Wilson in there as well, So we're gonna

424
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: have basically.

425
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: Running the running bass covered. That's yeah, one of them

426
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 3: might be worthless, but that means we get all the

427
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: running back production from the Miami Hills. What bills do

428
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,439
Speaker 3: we have besides Allen Allen?

429
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: That's it. I'm fine with that. All right, let's let's

430
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: do it then. And is he out there? Jay? Right?

431
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,160
Speaker 1: Is two thousand, three hundred dollars left over in these

432
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: kind of contests, doesn't I don't care about that. Yeah,

433
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: this is a NFL showed on ten k huddle, single entry,

434
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: and we're locking it in. What do we end up with? Again?

435
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 3: Captain's share was tua?

436
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Captain share is Tua. Allen's only Bill, Allen's are only Bill,

437
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, Jalen Wattle, Jeff Wilson, and Jalen Wright. We

438
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: did not end up with a Chan. We did not know, okay,

439
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: because we bumped up to Tyreek. Yeah that makes me

440
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: feel more comfortable then. You know, I love a Chan,

441
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: but for a one game, you'd not sure to have Tyreek?

442
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean for sure? Yeah, Okay, I'm cool with it.

443
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: There we go, so locked in. The great thing is

444
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: if if Waddle or Tyreek go off, we've got two

445
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: in the captain's share right right, right, we're covered. I

446
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: think the back seven for the Bills is bad, troublesome. Yeah, probably,

447
00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: it's a real weak area, right Yeah, absolutely, linebackers safeties

448
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: aren't the same at all what they used to be.

449
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 3: I don't think the corners that great to begin with.

450
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's our lineup. We'll see if it hits,

451
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: we'll do our regular lineup for the entire weekend. We'll

452
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: do that tomorrow when we do the Fantasy Football Focus.

453
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: But we're gonna get through another break. He is Matt Williamson.

Speaker 1: on YouTube before we're getting our next thing here. Somebody

463
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: said that our voices sound alike, and I don't hear

464
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: that at all.

465
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I never go back and listen to our show.

466
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: I don't either, but.

467
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: That surprises me, to be honest with you.

468
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: He's Matt, That's Matt. I'm Dale Yep. I think we

469
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: sound very distinctly different.

470
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know what I said. Go subscribe

471
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 3: on YouTube, folks.

472
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: A lot of you listeners have not done that. Yeah,

473
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: check it out and it's probably happened to you.

474
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 3: But people camp will be like I always heard your

475
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 3: voice and never know what you look like.

476
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: I used to get that a lot. Yeah, that's a

477
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: good thing. Yeah.

478
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: Face for radio over here anyways, Speaking of faces for radio,

479
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 4: Nick Shook has put together his quarterback index after Week

480
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 4: ones game on NFL dot Com.

481
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at that. See where Justin Field's

482
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: coming at. After his Week one performance.

483
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 3: Bet Bo Nicks was pretty low.

484
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: I'll bet he is too. Yeah, and at thirty two,

485
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: well we could have guessed Siska because he was at

486
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: thirty two last week. Daniel Jones.

487
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 3: I still think he's better than Bryce Young and some

488
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: of the guys. The young guys.

489
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: I saw a thing, a stat that said he has

490
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: thrown more pick sixes since he signed his big contract,

491
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: and he has touchdown passes to his own team. He's

492
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: thrown three picks six since signing that big deal.

493
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 3: Wow, I mean he does. I'm not defending the guy,

494
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 3: I mean, but at least he brings something as a runner.

495
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: And I don't know.

496
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 3: I mean the way Bryce Young played.

497
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: Oh smokes horrendous, horrendous, and the rookies didn't exactly tear

498
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: it up.

499
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 3: No, they were all Kayla Williams was bad. Nicks was bad.

500
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: At thirty one? Is Bryce Young holding steady? He's he

501
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: didn't move it all either, Okay, yeah that's fair. At

502
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: thirty down a spot, Oh Nicks.

503
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: We've talked about a lot. I mean, the numbers are

504
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 3: bad and the tapes just as bad. I mean, now,

505
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 3: I do think all those guys, well, they're all going

506
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 3: to get better.

507
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:38,959
Speaker 1: They'll get it.

508
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 3: I mean, the first assignment is difficult, and I will

509
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: say that maybe Seattle's defense isn't the best in the league,

510
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 3: but that defensive coordinator slash.

511
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: Right, right right.

512
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 3: It's not an easy first game.

513
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: The second one is not gonna be much easier.

514
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: Though it would be worse.

515
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

516
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, even like Jayden Daniels got Todd Bowles, I mean

517
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 3: Todd Bowles comes after Yeah, yeah, that's a tough assignment.

518
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: At twenty nine down a spot, Caleb Williams. That's how

519
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: he played. He completed forty eight percent of his passes

520
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: for ninety three yards. Yeah yeah, yuck. So he I mean,

521
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: with those receivers, that was the one thing everybody was

522
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 1: trumpeting about. Well, he's got great receivers, right, for ninety

523
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: three yards.

524
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: He throws, He's in the best landing spot of any

525
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 3: first overall pick ever. So I was listening to our

526
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: buddy Greg Cosel and everyone. When this happens to all

527
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 3: the transcendent quarterbacks, you give him the benefit of the

528
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 3: doubt as prospects. But the reality is they all Lawrence luck,

529
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 3: they all needed work in some things. And Greg was

530
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: talking about how and I remember him saying it, He's like,

531
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 3: everyone blames USC's bad offensive line, but it's him. He

532
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 3: holds the ball a long time in the pocket, and

533
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 3: the court of the sacks are as much him as

534
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 3: his blocking. And that's something that possible. It often is

535
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: is it off?

536
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: It is? You know, right?

537
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: So just pay at ten into his pocket presence slash,

538
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 3: you know, ability to read and feel the rush.

539
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:10,679
Speaker 1: At twenty eight down three spots, Deshaun Watson and falling

540
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: like a rock. He was horrendous last.

541
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 3: Week, horrendous, like almost start to have the conversation about

542
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: benching him.

543
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, he averaged three point eight yards per pass attempt.

544
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: The only guy who was worse with Bo Nicks.

545
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: Like I think Nix Williams, maybe Young. I'm kind of

546
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 3: out on Young too, but or at least you're probably

547
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 3: gonna go up the list. I don't know Watson's going

548
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 3: to go back up the list. He may end up

549
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 3: being thirty two in no time. Maybe in Daniel Jones.

550
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: Land, Daniel Jones might get benched and yeah, yeah, you know,

551
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden he's dead last at twenty seven.

552
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 1: He was unranked last week Justin Fields. Is that being

553
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: a little harsh on Justin Fields.

554
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 3: I think he's better than all those guys.

555
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: He's better than everybody behind him, right, But I didn't

556
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: think he played poorly.

557
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 3: No, No, I don't either, And I mean i'd put

558
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 3: him over like Minshew.

559
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's some guys that.

560
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he played better than Jaylen Daniels.

561
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: He managed the game.

562
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, we'll see who's directly ahead of them.

563
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 3: But I didn't think it was a bad performance.

564
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: Twenty six down four s bus is will Levis. Justin

565
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: Bills was better than will Levis. Last week, For God's sake,

566
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: Nick Shook watched the second half of the title. Oh,

567
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean he was a double agent there for a while.

568
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: At twenty five up a spot, Gardner minshew, I.

569
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 3: Just don't think he's a very good player. Yeah, I mean,

570
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 3: like he didn't kill the raiders or anything like that,

571
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 3: But I mean talent wise, he's not close to most

572
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 3: of those dudes. The ball over twice and yeah, the two.

573
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: Turnovers, Yeah, I would have him lower at twenty four

574
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 1: down eight spots. Kirk Cousins the performance, I.

575
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 3: Guess I don't know exactly how he's doing these lists.

576
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 3: You know, like if Mahomes had a bad game, you're

577
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: not going to him at thirty, you know what I mean,

578
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 3: Like Cousins had a bad game, But I think there's

579
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 3: more like Burrow was as bad as Cousins now much

580
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: saying Burrow should be listed also started much higher than Yeah, yeah, yeah,

581
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: I mean so I don't know how I would do

582
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 3: this list. I mean, how much am I waiting one game?

583
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 3: But Cousins is concerning because I think he wait.

584
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: Cousins performed a little bit differently because he's coming off

585
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: the injury.

586
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 3: That's why I've lumped him and Burrow, you know, like

587
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 3: obviously i'd rather Burrow and I'd rather play against Cousins.

588
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: But Burrow's concerning though. Oh yeah, well, he keep kept

589
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: flexing that wrist and that's not good.

590
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 3: I forget who was listening today that I guess there's

591
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 3: some footage that he has a hard time using a

592
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,239
Speaker 3: water bottle by trying to pick up the water barro right,

593
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: it fell out of his hand. Like it's not great.

594
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't have the kung fu grip, right.

595
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 3: And if this is something happens all year, what happens

596
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 3: on the rain in the snow right harder to control?

597
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: It's a trouble it's troublesome. At twenty three holding steady

598
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett, it's a little kind Was he better than

599
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: Justin Field's last way were for one hundred and twenty

600
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: one yards and thirty two yards rushing.

601
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 3: They didn't ask him to do hardly anything. I mean,

602
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 3: the Patriots win that game with fields easily instead of.

603
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: Up eight spots Jaden Daniels.

604
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: But he didn't play quarterback that well. He made some

605
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 3: plays with his legs, especially late in the game. There's

606
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 3: something he said for that. I mean, Fields has a

607
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: lot of ability as a runner too, And Daniels fantasy

608
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,119
Speaker 3: stock is going crazy. But I don't think he played

609
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: great quarterback.

610
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 1: No, I don't think I hit three fumbles. Yeah, I

611
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: meane like he put the ball in harm's way like.

612
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 3: Gus Helmet knocked off a bunch.

613
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah. And I understand Fields out of fumbles when fumbled. Yeah. Yeah,

614
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: he's snapping center exchange, but took care of the football.

615
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: Twenty one up six spots. Sam Darnold, he played really

616
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: really well. He should go up. Yeah, now, am I

617
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna rip the Niners apart? Probably not,

618
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: probably comes back to earth all yeh yeh. This week

619
00:27:55,640 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: at twenty up a spot, up a spot. Anthony Chardson,

620
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: he did not play well last week.

621
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 3: Completed nine passes. Yeah, and he did.

622
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: One of them happened to be a long one.

623
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, But I he does some things nobody else can.

624
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: He completed forty seven percent of his passes, right right.

625
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 3: I mean, in terms of quarterbacking, left a lot to

626
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: be desired. Yeah, but there's Wow, yeah, you know.

627
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about that one nineteen holding steady Gino.

628
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 3: Smith started a little slow, I said, the Seahawks in general,

629
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 3: but then turned fine. It got yeah better, and he

630
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 3: won the game. Yeah, and my opinion of him didn't

631
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: change one bit.

632
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: At eighteen down nine spots, you're gonna hate this one.

633
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert.

634
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 3: HM, that seems a little rough.

635
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: There was five point five yards per attempt.

636
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a bad offense for sure. I wouldn't dropped

637
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: him that far though.

638
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 1: Well, let's see if you'd have them ahead or behind

639
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: the guys who are Yeah, seventeen up three spots.

640
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 3: The car played great, yeah as well with him and

641
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: Baker played as well as any quarterback in the league

642
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: for Week one.

643
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: Uh, sixteen down nine spots. Who's another dropper, Aaron Rodgers.

644
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: I thought he got better as the game went on.

645
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: The Jets were very underwhelming. I don't think playing the

646
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 3: Niners and opening days not a great way. We saw

647
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 3: this a year ago. He still made some throws. That's

648
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 3: as low as he'll be. That's as low as he'll be.

649
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought he got pretty comfortable.

650
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: Probably as low as Herbert ends up being yeah.

651
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's a good football players just couldn't

652
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 3: run the ball and that defense was really bad.

653
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 1: At fifteen up, two spots, Trevor Lawrence. He didn't play

654
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: particularly well last week.

655
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 3: No, I mean he would be like Geno just maintaining

656
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 3: what I thought.

657
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: Of fifty seven passing one hundred and sixty two passing yards.

658
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 1: He threw a touchdown pass, but.

659
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,200
Speaker 3: I mean they probably should have won if at M

660
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 3: doesn't fumble. Yeah, and maybe that, but that shouldn't change Lawrence.

661
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: Your opinion of Lawrence or what you think of him.

662
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: At fourteen up, four spots, Kyler Murray.

663
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 3: Oh, he's going up, but they scored points.

664
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, on the road. At thirteen down five spots, this

665
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: is rough. He didn't play well, but the overall final

666
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: numbers were okay. It's Jordan Love.

667
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 3: I was underwhelmed watching Love and Hurts, you know, focusing

668
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 3: on both like.

669
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: That was a tough game though, as well. Signing to

670
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 1: Rio or to not Rio but a brazil Zi, Yeah,

671
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's not like just jumping on the plane

672
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: and flying. No.

673
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 3: I really think it's I'm gonna take two seconds here.

674
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 3: I understand why the NFL does it for two reasons. Yeah,

675
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: it makes a lot of money. And first of all,

676
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 3: you're trying to grow and you're trying to grow your brand,

677
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: and you know a lot of people went to the

678
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 3: game and it's different, but the field surface was so bad.

679
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: It was bad.

680
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 3: Like that makes me insane, you know, like this is

681
00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: the NFL. They should never have subpart conditions for any thing, period.

682
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 3: And it's a weird game. It's a hard one to judge.

683
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 3: I think you're one hundred percent right.

684
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: At twelve down two spots with the guy he played against,

685
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts.

686
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 3: I think Love's a better player, but I think Hurts

687
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: was better that night.

688
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, he did have two interceptions in two fumbels as well, though,

689
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 1: so keep an eye on that.

690
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 3: Barkley ran through some holes that we could drive a

691
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 3: truck through.

692
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: Too, you know at eleven down six spots, Joe Burrow.

693
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 3: I think you have to drop him more. I mean,

694
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 3: he was a bad he was a below average starter

695
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 3: in one game. Now I think he's awesome.

696
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but his his injury related to you know, it's right,

697
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: and they put ten points on the board.

698
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're at home, if you're something about

699
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 3: other good quarterbacks. If you're gonna ding Rob, you know,

700
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,479
Speaker 3: Rogers as hard as he did, if you're gonna ding

701
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 3: Herbert as hard as he did, why not him too?

702
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, that's that's fair, you know.

703
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 1: I mean he started higher than those guys though, Yeah,

704
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: but not way higher than Herbert. Four or five spots.

705
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: Probably they dropped him six. We'll see if I if

706
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: he plays badly again this.

707
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 3: Week, sat him and Cousins, if they do it again.

708
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: It's like now it's concerned. I was really concerning. At

709
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 1: ten up one spot, Jared Goff, that's who he is.

710
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he's a solid player.

711
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: You know. At nine up five spots, Matthew Stafford.

712
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 3: I was super impressed.

713
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean we thought they were too low or Shouk

714
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 1: was too low on him going into last week. I

715
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: mean he was at fourteen last week. No, I forgot

716
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, I think Safford's best quarterback the NFC.

717
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: And they stayed in that game without.

718
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 3: Being able to block anybody. Yeah, that's I'm not sure

719
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: most quarterbacks hanging around leaving and yeah, right right right right.

720
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: At eight up five spots, Rock Purty, come on.

721
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: Well, if he should go up I mean, maybe that's

722
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 3: a factor of a couple of people going down that

723
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 3: were ahead of him played well.

724
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: He threw for two hundred and thirty one yards and

725
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: rushed for eleven and had no touchdown passes or didn't

726
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: and didn't like, Yeah, he played fine on this He's

727
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: not the eighth best quarterback in the league. Agreed, he's

728
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: not better than Stafford.

729
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 3: No, no, And again my opinion of him didn't change

730
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 3: one bit because of that game, right, you know, it

731
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 3: wasn't like, boy, he's terrible now, or boy he's so

732
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 3: much better.

733
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: He is what he is.

734
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know he's fine. Yeah, Jet Steve was bad.

735
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: Jets Steve played poorly at seven up five spots to

736
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: a tagle Vi law.

737
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 3: I don't think that's who he is. But it is

738
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 3: an overreaction type of article, you know what I mean.

739
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure if Nick was sitting here, he'd say,

740
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 3: I think Tua is the six or seventh best quarterback

741
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 3: on the planet.

742
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 1: I think Tua and Party they're very similar, very similar.

743
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: I actually Party is a better player because Party's party,

744
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 3: to me, is much more aggressive or when play breaks

745
00:33:57,600 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 3: down than like a.

746
00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: G he can playoff script.

747
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 3: I don't think to a can you know, like they

748
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 3: both are paint by numbers guys, but once in a

749
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 3: while party does something outside the paint by numbers.

750
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: That's pretty Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think that separates

751
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 1: him from the garoppolos that Shanahan's had at six up

752
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: nine spots. So this guy would be the biggest riser

753
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,479
Speaker 1: of the week. Baker.

754
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 3: Of course, he's not the sixth best quarterback. No, I mean, like,

755
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 3: is he better than Burrow or Herbert or you know

756
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 3: or Stafford?

757
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: Of course not.

758
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 3: You had a great game.

759
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: This says to me more about the Washington defense.

760
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 3: It's might be the worst.

761
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: Like Daniel Jones, as bad as he was in Week one,

762
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: might have a really good game this week.

763
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 3: But we put a DFS lineup. I might put a

764
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 3: strong case in for Daniel Jones.

765
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,280
Speaker 1: He's actually played well against Washington.

766
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,759
Speaker 3: And going to play well against Washington this year. They're back,

767
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 3: I mean except for defensive tackle. I don't think there's

768
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 3: anybody on their defense the Steelers would even want.

769
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah I'm not saying wouldn't the team, but I mean

770
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: like it's a hideous unit. Awful, yeah, awful. So Mayfield

771
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: does not deserve to go that high.

772
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 4: Now.

773
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: I liked him in Car and those guys got credit

774
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: for playing really well.

775
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: At five up a spot, Dak Prescott, he didn't play great, No,

776
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: he didn't. But Cleveland's a tough yeah, yeah, in Cleveland's

777
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: a tough is a tough assignment. Sure, they blew him out.

778
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 3: I mean he wasn't much different than hurts your love

779
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 3: or you know.

780
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. At four holding steady c. J. Stroud, I thought

781
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: he was.

782
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 3: Really good in this game too. Not that I thought

783
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 3: he was gonna turn into a pumpkin or anything, but

784
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 3: he's a he's a real deal.

785
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: Yeah. At three holding steady Josh Allen.

786
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 3: Fine with that, I thought he was superb.

787
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: At two holding steady, Lamar Jackson, and that means Patrick

788
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes is number one.

789
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 3: I have no qualms at the top. I thought Lamar

790
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 3: had nothing going for him in terms of blocking. Yeah,

791
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: and if you put some of those other dudes in

792
00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 3: that situation, it wouldn't have gone.

793
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 1: Into a fall apart. They would have fallen apart. I mean,

794
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: his legs bailed them out and kept them competitive. That's

795
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: what makes him.

796
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 3: That's a superpower.

797
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's that's his superpower. And that's that's the

798
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: one thing. You know, he has that Trump cart. Josh

799
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: Allen has that Trump cart. Yep.

800
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there aren't many, but boy there superhero.

801
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 3: So this is a total side note, but we're talking quarterbacks.

802
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 3: And I was listening to our buddy Sando and he

803
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 3: does a lot of these kind of studies, and they

804
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 3: were asking him about quarterback play in the league and

805
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,760
Speaker 3: he said, last year opening Day was the youngest group

806
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 3: of starting quarterbacks the NFL has ever seen, and this

807
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 3: year is like second youngest becausey're all one year older, right,

808
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:43,959
Speaker 3: and you throw some rookies in there, and it helps

809
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 3: the Brady retire because he messes.

810
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: Up the everybody but Rogers there's a rod.

811
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, theres a couple of guys still. But I hadn't

812
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 3: thought of that. But I mean, the quarterback situation in

813
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,759
Speaker 3: the league right now, if you look over the last

814
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 3: fifty years, is really the youngest it's ever been.

815
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that and we've talked about that in the past.

816
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: And as there's all the young guys, there's not really

817
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: a middle ground anymore.

818
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,919
Speaker 3: So there's a real shortage of the Wentz.

819
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: Is the middle ground right now, And there's really nobody

820
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: two or.

821
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 3: Three of them, right, and not to mention the whole

822
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 3: Ben group retired, you know the guys that are Freeze,

823
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: Ben Rivers, Ryan let Alone, Brady and those guys. I

824
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 3: mean a big group of old dudes weretired recently. But

825
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 3: it's funny like if you if you go to draftistory

826
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 3: dot com and pull up all the quarterbacks, there's like

827
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 3: five or six years that dismiss after miss you know

828
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 3: at the top, Winston and Mariota and Wentz and on

829
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 3: and on and on. I mean, so there's a lot

830
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 3: old and young, and the older evaporating pretty quick.

831
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 1: But teams will keep trying taking that swing because you

832
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: have to.

833
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 3: And what's interesting to me too, just relevant for this week.

834
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: You got some old rookies now too. You know, if

835
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 3: Pennix ever gets in there, old rookie mix old and old.

836
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: Next started sixty one games in college, Yeah, that broke

837
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: the record. Kenny Pickett was Kenny Picktt. I don't know

838
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: who held the record, but he thick it was up there,

839
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: but it was Nix's sixty one starts in college old rookies. Yeah,

840
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: but that's the state of the quarterback position right now.

841
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely let's get to a break. He is Matt Williamson.

842
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: I am Dale Lolly. You're listening to the Drive here

843

00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: Broncos into the report here as well. Oh good. These

853
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: things trick when when you're playing a team the.

854
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:05,360
Speaker 3: West Coast teams for everybody mountain mountain time. They're on

855
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: the other side of the Mississippi their West, and they're in

856
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: the AFC West that's technically on this side of the

857
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 3: Rocky Mountains.

858
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: Are I guess they would be considered in the Rocky there, right,

859
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: aren't they? Yeah? But when you're I've never been there.

860
00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: When you're out there, it's a beautiful city. You can

861
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: see the Rocky Mountains like they're on a plateau kind

862
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 1: of plane and you look out and you can see

863
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: the mountains in the background.

864
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 3: I've heard off in the distance to the west. I've

865
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 3: never been out there period. And like bringing up to

866
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 3: my kids. They when my daughter always wants to go

867
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 3: to the beach and she's like, I don't want to

868
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 3: see a bunch of rocks.

869
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's better than that. Yeah, beautiful city. But

870
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 1: so for the Uh, for the Broncos, the von vle

871
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: As we mentioned two days in a row did not practice.

872
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that after their game. Yeah, not that

873
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: he's a great player, but receiver. Uh, he's got that

874
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: rib issue, so we'll see how that comes along. Uh.

875
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: These guys didn' practice yesterday, but we're limited today. That

876
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: was Garrett Bowles, that.

877
00:40:04,080 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 3: Was one I was concerned about after the game.

878
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a calf issue. Uh. The center Luke Wattenberg, Uh,

879
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: he was limited today with an ankle. But if he's

880
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 1: banged up a little bit, man, he is not a

881
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: great player to begin with.

882
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: No, he's first year starter. Yeah, questionable starter.

883
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: Uh. And then Josh Reynolds with the Achilles was limited

884
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: today for them. The wide receiver, so line and receivers, yeah,

885
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: which exactly what they don't have. Yeah, right right.

886
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 3: I don't think you want o line injuries against Steelers either.

887
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: And then outside linebacker Jonah Ellis, who was limited yesterday,

888
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: was a full participant today.

889
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 3: No, okay, I think he was their second round pick.

890
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: I mean the Knicks in the first round, took him

891
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,160
Speaker 3: in the second kind of he's a little different than

892
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,359
Speaker 3: their other edge guys, kind of a power player. He's

893
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 3: like to seventy.

894
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see if he's able to go. But uh,

895
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,919
Speaker 1: it's not too extensive. Yeah, it's not a long injury list,

896
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 1: but there's some important guys there.

897
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: And Bulls is yeah, the one to keep an eye on,

898
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 3: no doubt. I mean he's gonna have iceman one on

899
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 3: one a lot, a lot, a lot.

900
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if that happens, if Bowls is, if they

901
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: have to help Bowls at all, that's real problem. That's problematic.

902
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 3: I mean then you're getting like two guys into raw combinations, yeah,

903
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 3: because I mean that's gonna.

904
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: Be a lot of seven man protect a lot. Yeah.

905
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are a lot of as we saw, quick hitters,

906
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 3: you know, I mean get it out now, you know,

907
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 3: quick game screens, things.

908
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,440
Speaker 1: That max protect works better against teams that play a

909
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: lot of zone. If you're max protecting and they're a

910
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,760
Speaker 1: man team with you know, safety help over the top,

911
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: and you only send two guys out in pass patterns.

912
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: Yeah right, Yeah, good luck with that. Good luck with that.

913
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,239
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure the Steelers are going to dow

914
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 3: up a ton of Blitzer either.

915
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: Yeah.

916
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 3: I mean if you're seeing six and seven man protections, Yeah,

917
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 3: you might bring a fifth more. You certainly will more

918
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 3: than he did against Atlanta. And they've plenty of good

919
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 3: guys to do it with, but they still may cause problems. Yeah,

920
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:50,760
Speaker 3: we may have a lot of guys in coverage.

921
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: I asked Tarah Austin about that today when when he

922
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: when he talked to the media, and I said, look,

923
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: you guys only blitzed. I saw differing numbers on it.

924
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: Next year. In Stat said seven point one percent. Pro

925
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: Football Reference had like ten percent. Both were still among

926
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: the lowest state league this week, And I said, was

927
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: that an Atlanta specific thing or is that something that

928
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: you know, you feel like is going to change. And

929
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: I honestly do think it was an Atlanta thing, because

930
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: Cousins is a veteran quarterback.

931
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 3: Oh, he's good against blitz.

932
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: He's good against the blitz. Yeah. I don't know that

933
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: bo Nix is gonna be got a guy that you

934
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: don't blitz. Yeah.

935
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 3: And the other difference between the two that actually favors

936
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 3: Nicks is he's much more mobile than Cousins, even cousins best.

937
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: You knew her Cousins were going to be out and

938
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:33,279
Speaker 1: you could just hem him in.

939
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

940
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

941
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 3: And one of them is great above the neck because

942
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 3: the experience the other ones to total rookie. And Nix

943
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 3: is a really good runner. I mean, the best thing

944
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 3: he did was run for a touchdown. So I'm not

945
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 3: saying it should spy Nicks, but you don't want him

946
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 3: running for fifty yards on here being there leading rusher.

947
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't know he's that guy though.

948
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know he's that guy. But I mean

949
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 3: he can hurt you.

950
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,760
Speaker 1: I guess he might move the change a couple of times. Yeah,

951
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: with his legs.

952
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 3: But I just remember that game two years ago when

953
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 3: Herbert were just seeing opening eight yards.

954
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: That was like four years ago.

955
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,919
Speaker 3: It was, but I could see him being that type

956
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 3: of guy. Yeah, But Herbert had a lot more around him.

957
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 3: You know you worry about.

958
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: Now you had to, Yeah, you had to be concerned

959
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: about why you're streaking down the sideline and Alan you

960
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 1: know that you had to double some of those guys.

961
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,439
Speaker 1: I don't know that you have that issue here.

962
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 3: No, I don't tend to think so either. It's just

963
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 3: there's not a ton of ways they can hurt you

964
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: on offense. Yeah, I'm bade giving the ball a lot.

965
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 3: I mean, like anyone, they can do damage. But and

966
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 3: I do think Nex will be better this week. I

967
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 3: mean just he's a tougher challenge, but I think him

968
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,600
Speaker 3: and Peyton will have a better feel for one another,

969
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,840
Speaker 3: what to call, what not to even just in a

970
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,759
Speaker 3: stadium film study for a week. You know, first time

971
00:43:49,800 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 3: you've ever prepped for an NFL game, and Seattle was

972
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 3: a completely new I said, it's a hard place to play.

973
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a really hard place to play with

974
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: coaching staff.

975
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 3: Not too too so. I was thinking more of the venue,

976
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 3: you know. But right you're tome. Evan's will be cheering

977
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,879
Speaker 3: for you, but Stiff everyone will be cheering for him

978
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 3: after the performance. Over one, We'll.

979
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: See how many Steeler fans make the trip to Denver.

980
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 3: I thought you've been Denver fans are returning on.

981
00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you heard Deshaun Elliott earlier on the show talking

982
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,959
Speaker 1: about how, you know, he couldn't believe they had the foot,

983
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, or Atlanta has the football and he's like,

984
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: what's going on here? Yeah?

985
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 3: And Denver, as you mentioned, is a beautiful destinations, a

986
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 3: good time of.

987
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:28,919
Speaker 1: Year to go out there.

988
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 3: The Mountain Steelers make West this year, so last minute

989
00:44:32,200 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 3: time you could probably get still got out there, folks.

990
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's back home openers though, or that the Steelers

991
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: will be playing teams openers, So that'd be interesting to

992
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: see how many Bronco fans, because they haven't had a

993
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: lot of success from recent years, haven't made the playoffs

994
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: since twenty fifteen. That's the longest that a team coming

995
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 1: off of a Super Bowl victory has done in league history,

996
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: in league history eight years.

997
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 3: Which is amazing because I think I'm almost certain Manning

998
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 3: did retire after he won the Super Bowl. Yeah, but

999
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 3: he wasn't a player that year. I mean, he was

1000
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 3: great about.

1001
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: It, and they had a very good defense.

1002
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 3: They showed Miller and I mean the reason they got

1003
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,160
Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl was still intact right. I mean

1004
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 3: they had the Mary's Thomas and I mean they were

1005
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 3: they were a good football team. And not to go

1006
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 3: to the playoffs even two years after the year after

1007
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 3: and I even make the playoffs, it's kind of odd, yeah, for.

1008
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: The Broncos to have not made made the playoffs since

1009
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. This is one of the proud franchises in

1010
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: the AFC. Oh yeah, the premiere franchise. Right. It also

1011
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 1: happens to coincide though a little bit, pretty closely, with

1012
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 1: Andy Reid kind of owning to take over that that division.

1013
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking from a fans perspective of getting seats.

1014
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 3: There was a lot more optimism around the Falcons one

1015
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 3: week ago. Again there is the Denver.

1016
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: Resolutely Atlanta sold out all their season tickets this year.

1017
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: They hadn't done that in several years.

1018
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 3: They were aggressive and go get Cousins and Pennix and

1019
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 3: a new coach and all this stuff.

1020
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that drafting bow Nick suddenly caused the

1021
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: Bronco fans go at all, we'll.

1022
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 3: Watch it, ticket right to get out there.

1023
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely, Matt, that's going to do it for the show today.

1024
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: So absolutely for my partner, Matt Williamson, for Justin Miller
