1
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome

3
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: back to the Drive. I'm Dale Lolly here with Matt

4
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: Williamson and it's time for the fantasy football focusing. Since

5
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: it is Wednesday, will take a look. Everybody putting out

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,519
Speaker 1: their practice reports at this point for this point in

7
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: the week, and lots of news and notes here there

8
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 1: are around the league. The Browns left tackle Jedrick Willis

9
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: was sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Uh, they've already declared Odell

10
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Beckham out their game against the Houston this week. Will's

11
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: left that game and I thought it might be sort

12
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 1: of serious in place by Hubbard then also got hurt. Right,

13
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: So you can have a great offensive line. The other

14
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: four guys can be awesome. Oh yeah, yeah, but it

15
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: started five is quite good. You have one week link

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: on that line. It can be exploited, oh without question.

17
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 1: And I think you even told me before we recorded

18
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: that Jack Conklin's fighting something to the right that like

19
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: their whole offensive line was either limited or practiced, like

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: either didn't practice or was limited today. Again, it's a

21
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: really really good group. I factually think it's the best

22
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: line in the league. But I watched that game again

23
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: and Wyatt Teller, who everyone was so excited about two

24
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: the guard, he had a long day against the Chiefs too. Well,

25
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: he would have been lined up over Chris Jones, right right.

26
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's not like it's full proof. Yeah. Uh.

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: With the Colts, Xavier Rhodes with the calf was sideline

28
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: in Wednesday's practice. That's interesting, as was Darius Leonard. That

29
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: would be a big deal. That would be a big,

30
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: big deal. I can't afford any other They're playing the

31
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: Rams this week. Rams look pretty good. Yeah, um, not

32
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: much to start my Rams against them with or without

33
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: Leonard for fantastic reasons. Right one Colt note, I wanted

34
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: to mention that I just was, you know, doing research today.

35
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: Taylor the running back, was a lot more involved in

36
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: the passing game than that. Yeah, they just gave me

37
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: he Hines money, But Taylor was pretty involved. So I

38
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: think Taylor stock went up a little despite the struggles

39
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: that the offense had. We also didn't talk about the

40
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Rams running back usage, and that was a big topic.

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: Um it was. Sony Michelle barely played, barely played at all, Yeah,

42
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: they gave up two picks for him. Though, if someone's

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: cutting Michelle, I think I'm picking them up. But if

44
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: he goes another week or two without hard orly any usage,

45
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the show and it's certainly trending that way.

46
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Not that I love Michelle, but I mean they gave

47
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: a pick for him, you think they use them. Josh

48
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: Reynolds for the Titans was a full participant. He's dealing

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: with a foot injury. I would imagine that both He

50
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: probably had the practice because Julio Jones and A. J.

51
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: Brown don't practice on Wednesdays. Like that's that's gonna be hard.

52
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 1: I mean it seems like a small thing. But how

53
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: much did Brown and Jones play in the preseason, you know,

54
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 1: like the offense looks so bad? Was did they get

55
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: many reps with Tannehill? And certainly not in many live situations.

56
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: That's harder on coaches and than in you know, offensive rhythm,

57
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: and people realize when these guys sit out Wednesdays or whatever. Um,

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: the Seahawks played center Ethan Postic on injured reserve. Okay,

59
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: that's a little bit of a blow there. Yeah, first

60
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: I heard that one. I mean not that he's a

61
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: great player, but he's starting center. They want to run

62
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: the football. They want run the football, and I very

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: much have a theory that if a veteran center gets hurt,

64
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: I probably want to bet against that team, you know

65
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: what I mean, Because people don't factor that in in

66
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: the lines and things like that. But I mean we

67
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: we we witnessed it here a few times when palty

68
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: was out, you know, like boy, it has a ripple effect. Yeah.

69
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: They of course played the Titans this week, so in Seattle.

70
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: I like their chances. But Tennessee, back to our first segment,

71
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee and some of these other two, I'm gonna be desperate.

72
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: Really will, I really will. Brandon Ayouk, with a hamstring,

73
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: was a full participant for Wednesday's practice. Uh but Kyle

74
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: Shanahan came out and said that, uh, hey, look, he's

75
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: got to just he's gonna be played better than the

76
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: guys who were playing behind him. Well, nobody was playing

77
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: behind They were all playing ahead of him last week.

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: Really interesting situation because he's my favorite of those wide receivers,

79
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: but it was very clear that Debo is their favorite.

80
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 1: He got out snapped by Trent Shirtfield Shutfield is not

81
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: a bad player. He's kind of one of these He

82
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: shouldn't be out. He shouldn't be out snapping Brandon Ayouke. No,

83
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: I love Ayuke and I would be buying low on

84
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: him and fantasy anybody who's if he's getting cut looseer

85
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: as somebody's frustrated with him swooping right now. Yeah, and

86
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: you know, Shanahan's doghouse, like his dad's, is kind of legendary.

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure that sermon might be in it

88
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: as well. But like Shanahan came out after that game saying, wow,

89
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: Ayou's really you know, fighting this hamstring. But he had

90
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: him return pods. He was too anybody that's a red

91
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: flag to me. Um. The Raiders had a walk through today.

92
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: It just kind of shows you what they're up against

93
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: this week. Josh Jacobs with a toe and ankle injury.

94
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: He was dealing with both. It wasn't just the toe.

95
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: He had the toe going into the game. He hurt

96
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: the ankle during the game. Uh. He was sidelined for

97
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: that walkthrough again, not not surprising him. And he's always

98
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 1: fighting something. You could tell that he wasn't himself. I

99
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: think that guy's a warrior. I mean I love the

100
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: way he plays the game, and part of it's because

101
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: he's always dealing with something. But he's hard to count on,

102
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, and he's a big He's a very important

103
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: player for that. Yeah. Absolutely. Uh Gabriel Davis. Who is

104
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: the best week to start Jacob anyway? Yeah, Gabriel Davis

105
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: with the with the Bills who caught the touchdown catch

106
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: against the Steelers. He had an ankle injury. He was

107
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: out of practice on Wednesday. I'm trying to think, would

108
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: it be Mackenzie as a fourth guy? Nobody worth picking up?

109
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: This doesn't but they play for a lot. I mean

110
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: he's a big member of their team and plays with

111
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: a fair amount of snaps Dawn Tommy watching that game

112
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: just for fantasy cool. Beasley is very underrated. I mean

113
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: he's there. He's their number two. Yeah, I mean he's

114
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: not a great player, but he's their number two. And

115
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: Steeler is gonna face something similar this week where you

116
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: have Waller as that guy that gets figs. Yeah right right,

117
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 1: and then you get the slot is basically Beasley you

118
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: know again, Yeah, that guy prototypical, stereotypical, and those two

119
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: are gonna see seventy of the targets and then the

120
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 1: other guys are just gonna be kind of sprinkled in. Yeah,

121
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean that is how the bills are set up.

122
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: So Davis and Sanders were hard to use for fantasy.

123
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: I wonder if Davis being out makes it a little

124
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: better for Beasley and Sanders, you know, maybe yea or knocks.

125
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: I feel like you're really desperate. Marquis Brown was held

126
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: out of the Ravens also had a walk through today

127
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: and he was held out of that walked through today. Uh,

128
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: he's dealing with the hamstring injury. That the little guy,

129
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: little speed guys with hamstring injuries makes me crazy. Yeah.

130
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: And the left tackle Stanley was sidelined I think too. Yeah,

131
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: probably the second best offensive player and it is just

132
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: a walkthrough. But still, you know, he's like I think

133
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: if they're gonna play a couple days, Yeah, I mean,

134
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: you it's a walkthrough. You're not doing Yeah, something's hurt again,

135
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: right right? Uh. Speaking in which zach Ertz with the

136
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: hamstring was sidelined for Wednesday's practice, fire up the Dallas Goddard.

137
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: You would hope and definitely pay attention to that. I mean,

138
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: I think Goddard stock doubles if if Urts is out,

139
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: And even when they went in some hurry up situations,

140
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: it was Art's out there still over Goddard, Yeah, which

141
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: is crazy because I think God hears such a better player.

142
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: Um NFL Networks. He and Rappaport believes Jerry Judy's high

143
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: ankle spring will be out closer to six weeks. They said, uh,

144
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: the initial prognosis was four to six weeks. He's saying

145
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: it looks like it's gonna be the longer. Part of that,

146
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna say it is never mind. I mean,

147
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was originally six to eight and they

148
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: were gonna be a positive about it. The look of it,

149
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: I can't believe he's gonna play it all this year.

150
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I hate playing doctor. I don't know anything,

151
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: but he was playing really, really well before he went down.

152
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: I guess the more I listened to this, like if

153
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: he gets dumped in your league, are you picking them up?

154
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: Maybe in two weeks, maybe in a couple of weeks.

155
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: If I'm in a situation, you know, everyone goes to

156
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: the waiver wire and who's been the that's you. That's

157
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: the thing that you gotta do. And I do this

158
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: in my league's every week. I go on either Sunday

159
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: night or Monday morning and see who else everybody else

160
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: cut because those are the value guys at times. Because

161
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of this too, but a lot of people

162
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: I don't even do it sometimes Saturday to see who who? Okay,

163
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: who cut who? On Thursday, I'm gonna put an acclaim

164
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: for him now before he blows up. Yeah, because a

165
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: lot of themes that everyone's been there. Man, I'm short quarterback,

166
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: especially the season goes on, So I'm gonna cut a

167
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: pretty good player just so I can get by this

168
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: week and hope nobody notices. I'm gonna pick him back up, right,

169
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: I'll pick him back up on Monday or something like that.

170
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: You can snag those dudes. Again, I'm guilty of this too,

171
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: but too often when I look for waiver wire requests,

172
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: I just pull up the leading scores and you know,

173
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 1: a guy like Judy, you'll be vanishing soon, you know,

174
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: right right? Um. Jeff Wilson, who's coming back off of

175
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: meniscus surgery UH is expected to return in November. Initially,

176
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan said it could be earlier than that, which

177
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: is exactly what you want. If you're a you just

178
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: want another body in that in that San Francisco pool.

179
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: Just it's it's just such a Shanahan trait, you know.

180
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sitting on Sermon and didn't mind that

181
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: he was inactive, thinking, Hell, good, Mostard got hurt. He's

182
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: gonna take over, and now there's even more than Mitchell

183
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: in his way. Or you know, if you're feeling good

184
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 1: about Mitchell, I would still be really a fearful of Sermon.

185
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: You know, let alone these other dudes, you know, Hasties

186
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 1: out there and that Wilson. So it's always going to

187
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: be crowded. It's always somebody. It's always Uh, Tyrell Williams

188
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: who's in has a concussion. He's sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Um,

189
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: he took a helmet the helmet shot in a game

190
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: against forty niners. Uh. They're top guys in terms of snaps.

191
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: On Sunday, Calif Raymond and a Mon ros st Brown

192
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: had had fifty two and fifty snaps or routes run

193
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: I should say, which is a ton of r They

194
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: played a ton of snaps coming back and played really Fast,

195
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: and any interest in either one of those guys of

196
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: Tyrelle Williams is out. St Brown had some buzz in

197
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: the preseason. Yeah, it means a been round pick and

198
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: a slight guy in a decent prospect Um Raymond. That's

199
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,359
Speaker 1: a little surprised. And the guy stored alike as Sefast.

200
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: I mean it doesn't run tested catch guy. I mean

201
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: their receivers aren't on the roster. Again, keep referencing my

202
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: team mid Hawkinson and Swift. They catch a lot of

203
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: balls at Williams got a lot of balls. It's just

204
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: I think what the season's gonna go for those guys. Yeah,

205
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: Hawkinson had ten tar gets to that game. That's gonna

206
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: be the norm. I think so. I think so, and

207
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: he deserves it. I mentioned Odell Beckham out in week two?

208
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: Is it? I know you probably drafted him too high

209
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: to cut him. At this point you get cut, but

210
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: the frustration level it's just gonna be like you got

211
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: about Yeah, you know what I mean, Like they really

212
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: if they could get something for him, I think they

213
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: would do it it probably. I hate to say it

214
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: because I flat out I think I was just wrong

215
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: on him. Because I was I would have gone for

216
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 1: him at the right price, But you know, you kept

217
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: saying he's always hurt, and he's always hurt. I mean,

218
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: and what the Browns did was kind of interesting without him.

219
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean that they cleared him out on a Wednesday.

220
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: They don't play until Sunday. I found it odd that

221
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: that blurbed on my phone. It's almost like it's almost

222
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: like Stefansk. He's like, Okay, we're not even gonna deal

223
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: with you. Usually you don't exist. We're gonna roll with

224
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: people's jones here. Do you have an interest in people's jones?

225
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: Not really, because what I was saying is they spread it.

226
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: They spread it around so much. Even Trubb got a

227
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: couple of carries or a couple of balls thrown his way.

228
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: You know, Hunt's gonna get some The guy that I

229
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: thought looked really, really good but is fighting for balls

230
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: is the Joku, you know, like the Joker is a

231
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: really talented dude. And we always talk about all tight

232
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: ends take three or four years to really develop. I

233
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: watched him going, man, he looks like a player, but

234
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: he's never gonna get enough targets to be relevant. They're

235
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: probably you know, like he's in his last year of

236
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: his contracts and now he's another one of those guys that, Okay,

237
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: we want to keep him. He's good, but how do

238
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: we do that? And yeah, right right, I mean they're

239
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: not gonna get back with Baker's contracts and things like that. No,

240
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm exactly. I mean he's playing for something now too. Yeah. Uh.

241
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, Evan Ingram with the caff injury has

242
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: been rolled out for Wednesday's Thursday's game, So it's gonna

243
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: be Kyle Rudolph again catching you know, four passes for

244
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: fourteen yards. I mean, he's just you hope Rudolf the

245
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 1: red zone rained here catches a touchdown. If Kyle Rudolph

246
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: we're in this room right now with you, me and Brian, Yeah,

247
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: would he be the slowest guy in the room. My

248
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: ankle's kind of bugging. Yeah. He does run like a

249
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: dad though, uh Adam Shaheen and our fellow Pitt Johnstone.

250
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Absolutely he's practicing today. Um, that doesn't do a thing

251
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, Mike Kisiki didn't have a catch last week.

252
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: I think a Secky might be droppable because they used

253
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: Hunter Long, who we liked. That was even without Fuller.

254
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: You know, I mean, they're hard to count on. Parker's

255
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: not bad. Parker is going to get the ball. Fuller

256
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: and Wattle we're both, you know, big investments. Gasecki to me,

257
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: could be he doesn't block. He doesn't block anybody. They

258
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: use big receiver and they got receivers. They used Derham

259
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: Smith who got thirty eight snaps, Hunter Long got eighteen snaps,

260
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: and Sick he got twenty one. Not enough, right, he's

261
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: not usable. What's he gonna have four targets a week

262
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: if you're lucky. Yeah, if you're doing he needs to

263
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: catch the touch. I mean they should be looking to Yeah,

264
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: they should be looking to trade him, like maybe you know,

265
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: if you're not going to use him, right him on

266
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: the Saints or something, the Lions or get something for him. Yeah,

267
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: he needs pass catchers. That's crazy to me. Gerald McCoy

268
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: suffered a season ending knee injury four years the Raiders. Yeah,

269
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: he's done, he's done. I think. Yeah, he's former top

270
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: five picks, but he was playing for the Raiders. But

271
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: he was important for the Raiders. Yeah, right, absolutely. I

272
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: assume that he was used in spot duty as an

273
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: um field pass rusher three technique type guy, but Yeah,

274
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: that is two years in row. He's ben Lost of

275
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: the Year and he's got to do him in Homi

276
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: Konsu came in the league at the same time. So

277
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: what's thirty three something like that. Yeah, that's probably that

278
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: ship has probably sailed. If you've been waiting on that

279
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee kicker revolving door, who's the next guy up? It's

280
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: Randy Bullock. Okay, you know me, anytime kickers, I just

281
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: sort of shrug and not my head. It's all sounds

282
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 1: well and good until you don't have one. Titans haven't

283
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: had one since we've been doing the drive. Um Nick

284
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: Chubb on the on Sunday played of the snaps for

285
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: the Browns out snapped Kareem Hunt. Um only got fifteen carries.

286
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: Oh is that too few? Too few? In that game?

287
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: They were scored twice as but they were up that

288
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: entire They were up until late in the fourth quarter

289
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: and Chubb only got fifteen carries. Like, would you rather

290
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: have Chubb over like Antonio Gibson or Nausey Year, No,

291
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: because I know they're gonna they're gonna be on the

292
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: field a lot, and he's talented, he's a great football

293
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: he's a great football player. But if he's not going

294
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: to get more than fifteen touches in that game, in

295
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: that game script, what the hell when is he gonna

296
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: get carries? A Hunt injury would be wonderful, but you can't.

297
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: You can say that by the million back absolutely a

298
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: J Dillon got hurt. Yeah, you know, I mean there's

299
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: a lot of situations like that. As good as he is,

300
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: he's just not as good for fantasy as he is

301
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: for the real world. Another similar situation, it's not as

302
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: high profile. Javante Williams and Melvin Gordon. We're an exact

303
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: snap h sharing everything right down the middle and in

304
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: all phases. And Gordon had that long touchdown, and you

305
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: and I both said, if if you're gonna give me

306
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: Gordon for free, I'll gladly take them. But I do

307
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: think that's an interesting situation because I bet it starts

308
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: leaning towards Williams soon. Yeah. Would you, I know you

309
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: have Gordon the league. Would you can both of them? YEA, yeah,

310
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: I drafted both of them just because of I knew

311
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: both of them. Like they do. They have enough standalone

312
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 1: value that you can Yeah. Maybe because people do that,

313
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: like you can start both hunting. Yeah you can. I

314
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: mean it's it's not ideal. It's not ideal, but it

315
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: gets you through, by the way, but get you some points.

316
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you can probably at this point,

317
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: at least at this point in the seat season start

318
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, if you want to put one of them

319
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: in your as your RB two and the other one

320
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: is your flex. It worked, especially when the Bie weeks

321
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: hit or if you got hit with hard, you got injuries,

322
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: you had an injury or whatever. The other one that

323
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: I think is really crowded. That scares me and I'm

324
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: glad I'm not invested. Is Miami Askins not the full

325
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 1: time guy at all like he was last year, and

326
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: maybe none of them are good? Would not I would

327
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: not have touched any of those guys, but I didn't

328
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: want anything to do with that back they were that

329
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: might be the worst backfield to There were four or

330
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: five back fields I really didn't want to deal with,

331
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: and that was definitely It's worse than I even thought.

332
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: Here's the thing I'm looking here. I got ESPNS Flex

333
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: rankings for the week and they have Chubb as the

334
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: number four teen. This is running backs, receivers, quarterbacks, No,

335
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,680
Speaker 1: actually a super flex, so there there. I think he's

336
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: the fourteenth highest scoring player this week. Now, maybe that's

337
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: because they're playing Houston. I mean, Houston's run defense was

338
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: pitiful last year. But you were up last week on

339
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, right, you're winning. They were up two scores

340
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: in this third quarter. They were still winning midway through

341
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and you got Chub fifteen carries. Yeah,

342
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,719
Speaker 1: it's not enotheres me if I own them. We mentioned

343
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:18,120
Speaker 1: oline injuries. Hunt's never going away, you know, I think

344
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: people were going to especially with O'Dell out. I would

345
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: imagine even Houston will stack the box a little bit too,

346
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: you know, make you beat him with Schwartz and people

347
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: Jones and no type of guys too. I don't love

348
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: where Chub is trending for fantasy. I mean again, he

349
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: could be my running back to the NFL anytime. I

350
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: love him, But for fantasy he scares me a little bit.

351
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 1: Do you feel that way about but Zeke and Pollard

352
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: in Dallas? Not yet, because last year I actually thought

353
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: Pollard was the better football player all around football players.

354
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: He looked bad to me, but I bought the hype

355
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: in the off season. He's in the best shape of

356
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 1: his life. And I watched her. He spent the whole

357
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: He spent the whole day, the whole game on Thursday,

358
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: pass blocking and doing it really well. They I mean

359
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: they Tampa Bay blitzed them. They had the highest blitz

360
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,199
Speaker 1: percentage in Week one of any team. They blitzed like

361
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: thirty eight times in that game, and Zeke was a

362
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: big part of them stopping that. It was great out

363
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: of Ohio State. I just think that was all game plan,

364
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: Like why are we gonna run Zeke up the middle

365
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: when the best guard in the league is on the

366
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: sidelines against the best run defense in the league, Like

367
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: when we are running ry to Vita Ba and Mama

368
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: Kong Sue all day long. Give it a week or two.

369
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: I'd put an offer in for Zeke before that. Yeah,

370
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: I wouldn't give up on him yet, but it certainly

371
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: bears watching a couple of these first round backs. I mean,

372
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, he worried. Are you worried about him yet?

373
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: Because he was on the field for most of the

374
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: passing downs, That's what he is. I just think you

375
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: throw that tape away and forget. Yeah, I'm worried about Barkley, absolutely,

376
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: I mean, I could be multiple, but we knew that

377
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: going into the drains going to the draft. But I

378
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: hate that he is a short week this week. I mean,

379
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: you probably started him, but I don't expect much Thursday night.

380
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: Maybe the long week after that helps. But I didn't

381
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: think he looked particularly good. No, I didn't either. I'm

382
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: not worried about g though, No, I'm not at all.

383
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: I mean, every snap, anybody to plays every snap. It's

384
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: the same thing with like Gibson. You know, those guys

385
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 1: were out there consistently and they get a bunch of

386
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: you know, maybe Nausea didn't get the touches that you

387
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: wanted in Week one, but he's not. But that was

388
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: some game script there. He was on the field constantly.

389
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: Didn't even nobody else even saw the field. No, he

390
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: played every snap. And just to give people some context,

391
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: zero times in the two thousand twenty season did a

392
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 1: running back lay every snap in the NFL. That's rare.

393
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't happen much at all. And the

394
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,719
Speaker 1: fact that the volume is the key. He'll be out there.

395
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: He didn't get the ball, He's out there on third downs,

396
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: he's out there in short yardage, he's like he's snap

397
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: every snap. It's you know, in people's wife, he's Mike

398
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: Tomlin's overusing. You know they that's gonna happen. That's if

399
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: you're if he's the best third down back they have,

400
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: if he's the best short yardage back they have, if

401
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: he's his own third down back, he's his own short

402
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: yardage back. If he's the best guy at that, that's

403
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: who you keep on the football field, especially in a

404
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: game like that. Now, if you're playing the Lions, Oh,

405
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: if you're up by ten, it's a little different question. Yeah,

406
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: no question. Another one who has become that guy is Mixing.

407
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: Mixing had the most touches of any back last They

408
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: really didn't use very much of anybody else, know, and

409
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: they were so pass heavy last year. I think they've

410
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: taken a step back and said Joe's Joe's gonna take

411
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 1: something off Joe's plate. You know, Burrow don't referring to

412
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: because Mixing is a really talented player, and he if

413
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: you went in the middle of the second round of

414
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: your draft, you might say, man, I should trade for

415
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: him now because he's probably really a first round guys done,

416
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: because he gets a lot of use. Yeah, the only

417
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: thing you'd worry about with him is the health. Yeah,

418
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: because he's gotten it's not it's not position. Yeah. You

419
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: can talk yourself into that argument with any running back really,

420
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, without question. I mean that they have a

421
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: tough workload. Uh. Other pair of backs I wanted to

422
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: mention to you was the Eagles blew out the Falcons.

423
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: But Davis is still the only show in town. Cordnurell

424
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: Patterson's the backup running back. He's not even a running

425
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 1: back like Davis. Didn't do much, but he catches the ball.

426
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: He's he's the He's not as good as Nagy, but

427
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: he's the same category. He's the best short yardage, he's

428
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: the best receiver. He's you know, if you can get

429
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: him at you know, seventy five cents on the dollar

430
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: from what I've been paid from in drafts, I'm all

431
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: over that one. And I think Miles Sanders in that

432
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: game is pretty interesting too. He caught passes and was

433
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: used a lot. Yeah, we'll see how that continues to

434
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 1: work out here. But some interesting guys out there. Uh.

435
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: You see how things because of the lack of preseason

436
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: playing time for so many teams around the league last

437
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: week is really our first opportunity to see some of

438
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: these guys and how they were going to be used

439
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: and like a one more two. That's my favorite pickup

440
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: of the week. Adam Troutman. I love that guy and

441
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 1: he got so we didn't see much of the preseason.

442
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: He was on the field and was used a lot

443
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: more than the who's the receiver type guy who was

444
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: all excited about there and everyone's picking him up left

445
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: and right. Troutman is the feature player, and I think

446
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: it's the last chance to grab him. So if you

447
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: need a tight end or a backup, or if you

448
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: need a tight end, to me the guy to pick up,

449
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: as Jared Cook Jeri, Yeah, he's like the number three

450
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: receiver on the team. They don't have anybody like You're

451
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: right about that too. Mike Williams looked better in that

452
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: game too. Absolutely, the numbers weren't there, but I thought,

453
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 1: you know, watching the Sunday Night or the Cold Comet
