Speaker 2: but we do. I do appreciate it. And uh, if

17
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: I if I don't reply, it's not because I don't

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: want to, but there's so many replies, so many people

19
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: in there, I can't reply to them all. But anyways,

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: it's time now for the Fantasy football focus. And uh, well,

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: we mentioned the two Steelers injuries. Jalen Warren missing practice

22
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: today Nausea Harris back in full. Does that worry you

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 2: in this game?

24
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: Does that? Well? I think Nause's a little bit of

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 3: an underrated receiver and underutilized receiver. And Patterson can do

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 3: some of that, quite a bit of it too, you know.

27
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 3: And there were even some packages last week where Warren

28
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 3: was the back and Patterson was basically a wide receiver.

29
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 3: But did the defense count that as two backs or

30
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 3: do you account it as eleven? You know what I mean?

31
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: So that's there's that's some fun stuff. So I think

32
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: there's some untapped things with those two. But the answer

33
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: to question is yes, it worries me because I really

34
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: liked the way Warren was trending from where he was

35
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 3: injury wise early in the year, and I thought this

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 3: was going to be more of a warring game than

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: maybe any this year, considering their past problems, you know,

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 3: past defense problems. So I guess we'll see. But I

39
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 3: don't expect him end of the show. By the way, yeah,

40
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: my friend of the show, he's on yesterday, so you

41
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: can get back and listen to that. Check that out

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 3: if you miss it.

43
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't expect him to miss the game.

44
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: I would be fighting through everything.

45
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd be surprised if you're limited or slept wrong

46
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: on it or whatever. I look up on the wrong

47
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: side of the bed.

48
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 3: Whatever. Tomorrow we're not even talking about it.

49
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, Darnell Mooney with an achilles issue limited practice

50
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 2: on Thursday.

51
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: Do you think he's in every week Fantasy Starter at

52
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: this point?

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: He's at least a wide receiver three, low end two.

54
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: I think he's in that top thirty six probably no

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: matter what. Yeah, I mean he's had a really good year. Yeah,

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: so that's significant. Yes, absolutely, because I don't think London's

57
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: one hundred percent, but I mean they're a good offense

58
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 3: and he's a big part of it.

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: Playing Denver this week, you know, So how do you

60
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: approach that if Darnell Mooney ends up missing this game?

61
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean has got a big more pits. Yeah,

62
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: that's the answer, because like I would still start London

63
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: if I have them. He's really good, but he's gonna

64
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 3: have an up, he'll climb, you know. I would think

65
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: Pitts get to boost.

66
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, so we'll see how I mean, keep keep

67
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: that in mind. I mean, Bijeon has been running the

68
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: ball super effectively less too Yeah.

69
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 3: He's been catching the ball well too. But he's having

70
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 3: a tremendous year and he's even getting hotter as the

71
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 3: year goes on.

72
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, amazing thing is is the guy in our league

73
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: who has Bijon and Derrick Henry and he's like three

74
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: and seven. Wow, it's George Pickens too. Like, you gotta

75
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: really try to do that.

76
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 3: So I don't bring up my well, I guess I

77
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 3: do bring up my teams. But every Tuesday night is

78
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: Fantasy Night where I go through all my Dynasty leagues

79
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: and my two Redraft leagues and put my waiver wear

80
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: claims in, I submit my lineup. Look, who the is everybody?

81
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 3: Does you know? When one of my bie weeks? What

82
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 3: do I need to do here in this league that I'm in?

83
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 3: In Dynasty, I have the most points scored by like

84
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 3: two hundred. I mean it's a lot more than anybody else.

85
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 3: I have three wins. Fire that the defensive coordinator, man,

86
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 3: I mean, like that's one of the things about the

87
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 3: about this game that makes you crazy.

88
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: Sometimes just fire the head coach because he's calling the

89
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: wrong putting the wrong guys in the game.

90
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 3: No, I'm scoring the most points in the league. I

91
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: just don't beat the opponent like game planing.

92
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: Well enough, Yeah, you're the Ravens defense.

93
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean have three wins. I have the most

94
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: points in the league. Uh.

95
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 2: Tyler Algierre with that quiet issue, was back as a

96
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: full participant in practice today, so they had their one

97
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: two punch.

98
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: I guess if you had Bejean wouldn't be crying too

99
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: much if he wasn't did. Yeah.

100
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins also back. He has shoulder and elbow issues.

101
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 3: I bet he's ailing. Yeah, he's got to be hurting

102
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: at the stage of his career season. Remember he didn't

103
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: throw it all last year. But you know, so now

104
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 3: you're getting back into it. And as the older guys go,

105
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: he's not Ben or far or athlete, the biggest strongest

106
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: brute you know. Yeah.

107
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper with the wrist injury, officially limited on Thursday.

108
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: I think they have major receiver issues. Yeah. Dalton Kincaid

109
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: with a knee was a non participant on Thursday. I

110
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: don't think ke Coleman's playing. Ke Coleman is not playing, Okay,

111
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 3: I mean, Shakir fire him up, he gets a boost.

112
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 3: Matt Collins is a sneaky he got picked up in

113
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: one of my DFS start It's dead to Sneaky DFS star. Yeah,

114
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: it was a Dynasty league. That's too deep, yeah for

115
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: most people. But Shakira gets a boost certainly helps the

116
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: chief chance to win the game. Yeah, I wonder about

117
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: because King Kid plays, I think he gets a boost too.

118
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a knee issue. He's managing a knee injury

119
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: right now. Looks like he has a real shot of

120
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: missing Sunday's game.

121
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 3: They did. They also have Dawson Knox. Yeah, that's he's

122
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: not terrible. Yeah, who's had a pretty good chance to

123
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: catch a touchdown.

124
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, I mean they like him. Yeah,

125
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: quarterback likes him. It's not like they don't. Yeah, if

126
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: he's out there, they're not going to ignore him.

127
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: They didn't draft Concaid because they hate not right, you know,

128
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: I mean, they just want to change the way they play. Yeah.

129
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: Marshawn Lloyd with what I forgot about him, with the

130
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: ankle and hamstring stuff. He was actually limited on Thursday.

131
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: Because there are number two situations been goofy. I don't

132
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 3: know if it even Emanuel Wilson's kind of been the guy,

133
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 3: but I wonder if Lloyd's kind of the Roman Wilson

134
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 3: train here though, you know, like tough. It's harder for

135
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: a receiver.

136
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, running backs a little easier to get back to it.

137
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 3: But he was never great and his problems were protection

138
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 3: and fumbles. Yeah, which is stay off the field. Yeah, Yeah,

139
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: here's the thing.

140
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs with the Claude was limited on Thursday.

141
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: He's had a pretty heavy workload.

142
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: A heavy heavy workload. They're coming off a bye. You

143
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 2: would think you think he'd be all right at this point.

144
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, keep an eye on it, obviously. Yeah, Gyr Allexy,

145
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 3: fire up Wilson if he doesn't play, Yeah, yeah, I

146
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: mean if if he's only showing town, it doesn't matter

147
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 3: if he's good or not, right, Yeah, he's a good offense.

148
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: Jyr Alexander was limited on Thursday as well for the Packers.

149
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so Bears offense has been broke.

150
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 2: But we finally have news. Mike McCarthy telling people. They're

151
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: telling reporters, I should say they're reporters. Are people too,

152
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah they are. Rico dal Dell will be the lead

153
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: back for the certainly Dallas Cowboys.

154
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. I made a deal in our league and the

155
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 3: throw in to make the numbers work, like me, throw

156
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: me Dell. I could start him if I have to.

157
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 3: You know, their problem is they're just not going to

158
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: score any points. No, the offense is gonna be bad.

159
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 3: But he's the best one on tape. Elliott's shot. Yeah,

160
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: Now I wonder.

161
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: I mean, Cooper Rush hadn't really played in.

162
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 3: A few years. I mean he's not. He's he's gonna

163
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: get better than what he was in the in the

164
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: first He's never been the anchor that he looked like

165
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: in this game. I mean, I think we know he

166
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 3: looked awful last awful. I bet he's better. It's probably true,

167
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: like Ceedee Lamb might be a by low.

168
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, if your trade deadline's coming up. Yeah, you know

169
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: they get the most recent game. Ceede Lamb was not good.

170
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 3: Right, and you're just looking at like this offense.

171
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: Think so, hey, I'll give you my wide receiver too

172
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: for CD Lamb. Yeah, okay, yeah, i'd be I mean

173
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: he got ten targets in that game.

174
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: He's going to show in town. Yeah. I mean even

175
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: Mingos probably not gonna get involved for a while, you know.

176
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean ten targets is ten targets if

177
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: he catches eight of them.

178
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: You're happy. Yeah, he make it twelve fifteen targets. Yeah,

179
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 3: they'll be losing too. Uh.

180
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 2: Josh Reynolds was designated to return from ir with the Broncos.

181
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: He was fantasy relevant early in the year.

182
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was out splashes in his career, even in

183
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: that in Detroit. Man, just keep an eye out. Yeah,

184
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: No one's other than Sutton. No one's really distinguishing themself.

185
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: That's the thing. I mean.

186
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: Right now, it's sutting and nothing else. Every once in

187
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: a while the slot guy will get involved. But they're

188
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: going to be playing some meaningful games here.

189
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, it seems to be getting a little better.

190
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: There's nothing on the waiver wire right now.

191
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: Give me for in fantasy leagues.

192
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean everything he's done everywhere. Yeah, at

193
00:08:58,480 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: this point, everything's picked over.

194
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: Injuries are hitting the hard yeah, right.

195
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: I mean, are you gonna push the button to start

196
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: Josh Reynolds. Well, Ba mcgeddon's are coming up. Weeks twelve

197
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: and four are gonna be real.

198
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: They're gonna be bad. Yeah, So just keep that in mind.

199
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 2: We mentioned Gardner Minshew named the starter for week eleven

200
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: for the Raiders.

201
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: That's good for fantasy. How long is that they stick

202
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 3: with that thought? I mean he's on a short leash. Yeah.

203
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 3: The problem is the other dogs aren't very good on

204
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 3: the leashes. Yeah, but for fantasy, that's who you want. Yeah,

205
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: but yeah, not good.

206
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: The Falcons have confirmed that Young Ho Ku will remain

207
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: their kicker. He's missed five of his past seven field Yeah.

208
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 2: He's actually fallen to like he was like fifth, fourth

209
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: or fifth on the all time kicking for field goal

210
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 2: kicking percentage list.

211
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: He's not like eighth yeah, yeah, just because of this year.

212
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 2: It's like Tucker. Tucker's now below ninety percent for his career.

213
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: One bad year, one bad year that kind of happened

214
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: to bas what happened to Boswell. If you took one

215
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 2: of those bad year years out of Boswell stats, he'd

216
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: be one, right, he'd be number one.

217
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, consistency position.

218
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know they're and you. When you're the

219
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: Falcons and you lose a game like you did last

220
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: week by three and oh you kicker missed three of them.

221
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: I think one was blocked too. Yeah that's not good. No,

222
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 3: I mean he's earned a little trust because he's not

223
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 3: the new guy. But you'll forget about you pretty quick too. Yeah,

224
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 3: they'll move on. Uh.

225
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 2: Gus Edwards back in the limited practice yesterday. Interested in

226
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: hopping on the Gus bus. If he's pretty agent, I'm

227
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: picking them up.

228
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean he's a dobbin's injury away from being

229
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: the guy.

230
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: And not only that, but if you look at it

231
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: early in the year when both were available, they were

232
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 2: pretty much splitting carries almost fifty to fifty.

233
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: It's the same coordinator from Baltimore. Yeah, I mean, gonna

234
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 3: treat him exact same. He's going to get the goal

235
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: line kid. Goal one carries. The offense is getting better.

236
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 3: He should be in every league. Yeah, I mean the

237
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 3: schedule is not difficult. No, it's not. And they should

238
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 3: be able to run latent games too. Yeah.

239
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: You know, Gus Edwards is a sneaky kind of I mean,

240
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 2: if he plays this week, he's a sneaky DFS play's achieved.

241
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: He'll be thirty five hundred bucks. Yeah. I like his

242
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 3: chance if he falls into the end zone. Yeah you went. Yeah.

243
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: Joey Bosa was limited on Wednesday.

244
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: Okay.

245
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones with that rib issue officially limited on Wednesday

246
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 2: as well.

247
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I get the impression that they think he's going

248
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 3: to go, But I bets are tricky for say, that

249
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: smells like a game time decision. Yeah, I hope they're

250
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 3: not like a Sunday night or a Monday night or

251
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: even a four o'clocker. Yeah, I can't remember. I think

252
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: they're at one.

253
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 2: And Sam Darnold also was limited yesterday with a hand issue.

254
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 2: Oh really, Yeah, that might explain some of the interceptions

255
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: he has been throwing back eight. Uh you interested in

256
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: anybody in tonight's game. Tonight's game actually would be an

257
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: interesting captain's chare build.

258
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 3: To build one? Next second, Let's let's take a look here.

259
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: Let's take a look here and see what, uh what

260
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: stands out to us, because I mean, it's a good game.

261
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: That's a good I think a lot of people have

262
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 2: eyeballs on it. First place in the East, and both

263
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 2: these teams are playing really well, two of the better

264
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: teams in the NFC noticeably better. Yeah, so let's let's

265
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: take a look here and see where we would go

266
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 2: with this for tonight's game.

267
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 3: Are we thinking Robinson Brian is going to play? Looks

268
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: like it, Yeah, it looks like everybody's Latimore's out. Yeah,

269
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: Latimore's still not playing. So if we want to go

270
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 3: with the captain's chair, Jalen Hurst is sixteen to five.

271
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 3: Saque is fifteen to nine, Jayden Daniels is fifteen to six.

272
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 3: Aj Brown is fifteen one hundred or fifteen thousand, even uh,

273
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 3: Terry McLaurin thirteen to five, Davante Smith twelve nine, Brian

274
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: Robinson twelve three, Austin Ecklar twelve thousand, Dallas Goddard ninety

275
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 3: nine hundred, Noah Brown ninety three hundred.

276
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: I was impressed with Noah Brown. I'm not going to

277
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 2: get into all the quarterbacks there that are listed and

278
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: next Zach Ertz is eighty four hundred. The kickers, Jake

279
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 2: Kellie is seventy eight hundred, Zaying Gonzalez is seventy two hundred.

280
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: The Eagles defense is sixty six hundred. Johan Dotson is

281
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: six thousand. The Commanders defense game for fifty nine hundred

282
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: is a revenge game for him.

283
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: He doesn't play much.

284
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,359
Speaker 2: Then there's some other guys there. I would probably look at.

285
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 2: Davante Smith would be interesting.

286
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: My problem with that when I thought he was a

287
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: little too cheap. When you were reading off the numbers

288
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: when Goddard, Brown and Smith have all been healthy. He's

289
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: kind of underachieved. But that's also it's a huge game. Yeah,

290
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, it's a huge game. You

291
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 3: have to I was leading towards A J. Brown.

292
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 2: I mean that would be solid as well. I mean,

293
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: he's cheaper than he's fifteen, So if you went with

294
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: him at fifteen n you can average seven thousand the

295
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 2: rest of the way. Well, Jalen Hurts is eleven thousand,

296
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: sak one is ten to six.

297
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 3: I mean, there's some big hitters in this game. Jane

298
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 3: Daniels is ten to four. McLaurin is worried at all

299
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 3: about Jayden Dangles for fantasy. No, I'm not either. No. Uh.

300
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: McLaurin is nine thousand, Devonte Smith is eighty six hundred.

301
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: So you're gonna need a cheap option or two if

302
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 2: you want to get if you want to get one

303
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 2: of those big dogs, because you get you almost have

304
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 2: to have Jalen Hurts.

305
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 3: Put Well, put Jalen Hurts in the lineup. Okay, maybe

306
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: we move Brown out of the chair and put him

307
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: in the lineup, but.

308
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 2: Then you got to pivot to somebody else? What are

309
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 2: you pivoting to?

310
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: I was thinking about going cheap with Lake and Austin Eckler.

311
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: What if Brian Robinson reaggravates or they're losing heavy and

312
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 3: it's the row, you know what I mean? Yeah, that's

313
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: not a bad call. Well let's see them. We should

314
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: be able to load up everywhere else. Let's see what

315
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: that He's still twelve thousand and everybody was expensive. Yeah,

316
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: So if you do that, aj like the expense A J.

317
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: Brown is ten thousand. So you got that stack, you

318
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 2: can average fifty six hundred to rest it away, which

319
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: again you get you anyway, you're gonna need it. You're

320
00:14:58,840 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: gonna need some cheap options.

321
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: What a kicker you go?

322
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: Jake Elliott or the Eagles defense? I think the Eagles

323
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 2: are gonna win. Where do you go Washington's defense or

324
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: even cheaper? They're thirty six hundred. Eagles defense is forty

325
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: four hundred. Is there some really cheap guy? Well that's

326
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: something to look at. Jeremy McNichols is one of.

327
00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 3: The Washington running backs like s not doesn't even play.

328
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 2: Diami Brown is sixteen hundred. Luke McCaffrey is twelve hundred.

329
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: He was opened more than you think. He was one

330
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 2: of those guys that got missed a fair amount. I

331
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: would throw him in there. I mean we're gonna have

332
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: to go cheap somewhere. Grant Calcaterra is one thousand, Okay,

333
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: how much is Luke, say, twelve hundred?

334
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 3: I would put him in. Jake Bates is six hundred,

335
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: Ben Sinnett is two hundred, Will Shipley is four hundred.

336
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 3: Is he the number two though, I mean Barkley doesn't.

337
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 2: Ever come out, well, no, actually the number two is

338
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 2: game game well thirty two hundred. Yeah, yeah, I'm just

339
00:15:58,160 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: looking here.

340
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: Caffrey's the one I would cheap, really cheapy it up with.

341
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: You could get something out of that, yeah.

342
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 3: I mean that might allow us to not have two

343
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 3: junkie guys.

344
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 2: Okay, so he would be twelve and night get average

345
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: seventy nine hundred, which still doesn't get you into range

346
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: to get like you could get Jade Daniels, but then

347
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: you're gonna have another cheapye where you could get McLaurin.

348
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: But you're still gonna have to have another cheapy Bryan

349
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 2: Robinson your story, and he doesn't catch the ball enough

350
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: to make.

351
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: That worth it. Robinson would be low on my list

352
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 3: coming off an injury. Yeah.

353
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 2: Goddard was a kicker ddar at sixty six hundred, so

354
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: you could afford him. Let me see if so, if

355
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: you went Goddard, that leads you ninety two hundred, and

356
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: that would get you McLaurin.

357
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 3: It's not bad. Goddard had a good year when he's

358
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 3: out there. Yeah, he just missed some time.

359
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: So that would that was you'd have that and you

360
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: still have two hundred dollars left over.

361
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: Okay, is there any logic to go in a kicker?

362
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I could you know which that probably take Phillies.

363
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if I take Gardards on their back, Goddard

364
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 2: McLaurin out, and you go a kicker.

365
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: Washington still kicks a ton of field goals if they

366
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 3: do all from a year a week ago. You know.

367
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 3: But do you trust Zane Gonzalez? Yeah? All right, we

368
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 3: think weathers that gives.

369
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 2: You eleven thousand, and that would mean that you could.

370
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 3: Get are they getting our weather in Philly? I would assume.

371
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: So that's not great some of it? Yeah.

372
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: Uh, you could get Saque at ten six, You could

373
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: get Jayden and Daniels at ten four, and you could

374
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: actually pay up and get Elliott still have enough to

375
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 2: get Elliot instead of aying Gonzales.

376
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 3: I prefer to Elliott.

377
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, So if you go Elliott, are we

378
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: still McCaffrey in there? There's fifty two hundred McCaffrey's in there.

379
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 2: That leads you ten to six, and that gets you

380
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 2: enough to get Saquon Barkley. If you want Saquon Barkley.

381
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 2: I don't not want Saeon or Jayden Daniels. I feel

382
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: like we're a little light on Commanders, and that's.

383
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 3: One week ago. We'd be like, this is one of

384
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 3: the best offenses in the lead.

385
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 2: If I think the Commanders are going to lose the game,

386
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: you want Jayden Denny. He's gonna have to row.

387
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 3: I think they're going to lose the game. But we

388
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 3: don't have chlaurin though that's the only problem we don't.

389
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 3: I'd like love to have McLaurin.

390
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 2: They're the only the only pass catcher that you have

391
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: for them is Echler and McCaffrey and McCaffrey yeah, which okay,

392
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he's.

393
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 3: Out there a lot.

394
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: So the question then becomes, do you want Barkley or

395
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 2: do you want Jayden and Daniels?

396
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 3: I think Daniels. I think quarterbacks is nice. Yeah, I

397
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 3: think in the line, I think Daniel scores more points. Yeah, yeah,

398
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: I do too. Yeah, and that would have two It's

399
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 3: a lefto conversation. Yeah, who would you start? Dan? You

400
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: start two quarterbacks?

401
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 2: We can now I'm not actually going to enter this one.

402
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 2: I just I just called up the first line up

403
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: the first contest I saw, So I'm not gonna answer.

404
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: What would we end up with.

405
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: Ekler and the captain's share at twelve thousand? Okay, Jalen

406
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 2: Hurts at eleven thousand, AJ Brown at ten thousand, Luke

407
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 2: McCaffrey at twelve hundred, uh, Jake Elliott at fifty two

408
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: hundred and Jade and Daniels at ten four.

409
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 3: Two quarterbacks, it is pretty nice and a J. Brown, Yeah, McCaffrey.

410
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 3: Does Caffrick catchs three or four balls if Eckler catches Yeah, yeah,

411
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 3: I think he'll catch that work. Yeah, four passes that

412
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 3: I mean, they run screens to him a lot. They

413
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 3: couldn't do it against the Steelers. Steelers did a good

414
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 3: job of controlling that right, but most weeks Eckler has

415
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 3: been a good fantasy player. Yeah, so yeah, it's not bad,

416
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: not a bad lineup. It's a fun game though, too.

417
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, so see how that does tonight. But that's going

418
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 2: to do it for the fantasy football focus. Let's get

419
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: to a break. He is the Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lolly.

428
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and take Earlier in the show, he

429
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: looked at the offensive line rankings. Let's take a look

430
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: at the quarterback rankings, and we're getting a lot. We're

431
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: heading down the road from last year in the year

432
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 2: before that, where he had like seventy different guys start games.

433
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, quite to that level yet, I mean, but we're

434
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 3: getting it feels better than that. But I have started

435
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks this year, right right right? I mean, you

436
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 3: don't think of it that way. But they have. Yeah,

437
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: I mean I remember last year the Browns and Jets

438
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 3: started four.

439
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 2: The Browns have started three already, already they start No,

440
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: they didn't start DTR.

441
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah yet, but that could happen if we would happen,

442
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 3: just to get a look at him last couple of weeks.

443
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 3: By the way, did you look at their schedule the

444
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: rest of the way, it's really hotful Yeah. Yeah, there's

445
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 3: a lot of losses.

446
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:47,159
Speaker 2: And Jamis might throw about fifteen interceptions the rest of

447
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 2: the way this season. No, I got some really good

448
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 2: defenses that they play down the stretch that it's not

449
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: going to be kind to him. But yeah, I mean

450
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: so some of the I mean a lot of these

451
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 2: teams have started multiple starters. I mean Indianapolis tennis See.

452
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, some of them are benchings, you know, Carolina Tennessee.

453
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 3: Like you mentioned, right, you know, we almost had three

454
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: starters for the Raiders this week. We've had two for Jacksonville.

455
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 3: I bet we end up with three two in Dallas.

456
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 3: Dallas is probably gonna be three before the end of

457
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 3: the season. Fortunately, there's some like Kua that got hurt

458
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 3: but came back. Yeah, you know, you're back to the

459
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: start they start three, I don't think so. I think

460
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 3: they did start three. Yea.

461
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 2: Huntly started a couple of those games too, So they've

462
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: started three quarterbacks.

463
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 3: They're probably the only team that has.

464
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: Once you start getting into three quarterbacks range, it's like

465
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,160
Speaker 2: the numbers just start to climb and climb, like.

466
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 3: Probably Lance might get a start. I think at some

467
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 3: point you have to why not. You have to remember

468
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: Minnesota last year, like they pulled Dobs off the street. Yeah,

469
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: they went through four. Have you seen his commercial by

470
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: the way, ye it's pretty good.

471
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 2: Who was sitting around going, Okay, let's let's come up

472
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:54,920
Speaker 2: with a commercial idea.

473
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: How about we get Josh Dobbs get back up quarterback?

474
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 2: Okay, So this week this is Nick Schook's rankings here

475
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 2: on the NFL dot Com.

476
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 3: He has Cooper Rush at thirty two. That's fine, and

477
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: he played terrible. Yeah uh.

478
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 2: He has Mac Jones at thirty one.

479
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 3: He was pretty terrible too. Yeah.

480
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was downgrade all of your Jaguars pass catchers too.

481
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, like Brian Thomas was a really good story.

482
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: But that ship might have sailed. That's going away. So

483
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 3: Evan Ingram, it was one of your top fantasy target

484
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 3: He was a target hog too. Yeah.

485
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 2: Out there at thirty up two spots. This shows you

486
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: were Gardner Minshew as.

487
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 3: Better than those two right now. Yeah, at twenty nine

488
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 3: up two spots again, moved up because nothing that he did,

489
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: but two new guys came in. Jameis Winston. Yeah, I

490
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 3: guess he's still below like a Daniel Jones. Yeah, he

491
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: definitely is. Well. Daniel Jones is another one that could

492
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 3: get bench soon. Yeah. I was thinking that too. I

493
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 3: bet we see Locke at some point this year.

494
00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 2: At twenty eight. Caleb Williams, he's playing terrible and their

495
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 2: offense is horrible right now. I think they've gone like

496
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: thirty one quarters now without scoring a touchdown.

497
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 3: Wow, I knew it was bad. I didn't think it

498
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 3: was that bad. That's insane. Yeah, not scoring touchdowns and

499
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 3: I'm not sure a coordinator change is going to be like, oh,

500
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 3: everything's fat.

501
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 2: He has nine touchdown passes on the season, and if

502
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: you remember, he had like I think it was a

503
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: three touchdown game or maybe four touchdowns in one game

504
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: earlier in the.

505
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 3: Season, he had one blow up game. Yeah, and it said, oh,

506
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 3: look at this, this is this is the guy. Yeah right, Yeah,

507
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 3: maybe we could even talk about some other time. But

508
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 3: we did a mailbag show yesterday and this isn't fantasy related,

509
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: but if you were to draft all the first round

510
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 3: quarterbacks again, what order would you put them in? Knowing

511
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 3: what you know now, he wouldn't be one from this year,

512
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: Jade and Daniels. Daniels was clearly one. I said I'd

513
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 3: still take May over Williams.

514
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: There were again, I like Daniels better than Williams in

515
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 2: last year's draft, I mean, Maze the guy. I was

516
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 2: really high on him. He's played better than caleboy.

517
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 3: I mean, Nicks has played better than Williams. If I

518
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: would still draft Williams over nickt Yeah.

519
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 2: Twenty seven down three spots is Daniel Jones.

520
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 3: That's about where he lives. Yeah. Do you think he's

521
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 3: an opening day starter next year? I do not. I

522
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 3: don't either, unless it's a hold down the fort for

523
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 3: a first round pick guy.

524
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 2: At twenty six up four spots and he just got benched.

525
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco. Yeah, that's about how he played too. I mean,

526
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 3: it was a good story, but the production wasn't all that.

527
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 3: He just can't move anymore. He can't move anymore. Right,

528
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 3: He's not that hard to play against. He's also very streaky.

529
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 3: Steelers happened.

530
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 2: He's extremely streaky at the hot streak right at twenty

531
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: five was unrated last week?

532
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 3: Actually played pretty well, was Will Levis? He did. I've

533
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 3: been really hard on him. He's not for me. He

534
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 3: didn't have the turnovers. But some of these guys, they

535
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 3: finally figured out how to get the ball of Calvin Ridley.

536
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: Ridley's blowing up. You haven't mentioned Bryce Young yet, Yeah,

537
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 3: I mean, like maybe that can happen to Richardson. I

538
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: know Levis got hurt, but like these young guys go

539
00:24:58,560 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 3: get a month away from being.

540
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: A watch somebody else.

541
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 3: Just run the offense, get the weight off your back,

542
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,359
Speaker 3: and now try it again. At twenty four? Is Bryce

543
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 3: Young up three spots? Of Levis have to do to

544
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 3: not be in the quarterback market, considering where they going to,

545
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 3: he'd have to play better than he did last week. Yeah, Yeah,

546
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 3: you'd have to keep improving.

547
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: You'd have to continue to do that and yeah.

548
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 3: And show me a little more.

549
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Bryce Young number twenty four, up three spots.

550
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 2: He didn't. The numbers weren't great last week. But he

551
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 2: also didn't turn the ball over. It looks like he belongs. Yeah,

552
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 2: I mean he looks taking better care of the football.

553
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 2: He's making throws that are anticipation.

554
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just to do the little things about him,

555
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 3: which I bet we see more and more is it's

556
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 3: just the Mahomes effect. I grew up watching Mahomes. I'm

557
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 3: gonna do this with them. My feet aren't say but

558
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 3: he's not picking strong enough to do that, you know,

559
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: like just play in rhythm.

560
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 2: And sometimes you get away with that stuff in college.

561
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 2: You're not going to get away with it. That Bama

562
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 2: Zoe line. Yeah, at twenty three up three spots is

563
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 2: Drake May.

564
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 3: I'm a fan. I mean, he's gonna take a beating.

565
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 3: His line's terrible, his receivers are terrible, but he's not

566
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 3: the problem.

567
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: At twenty two up a spot bo Nicks.

568
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you're that's a success considering where you

569
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: drafted him. If you told Sean Payton and their GM

570
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 3: that in November he would be the twenty second best starter,

571
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: he'd be like, Okay.

572
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 2: I think it says more about these where we're at

573
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

574
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,199
Speaker 3: All the dudes behind him, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean

575
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco's still on the list, for God's sakes, and

576
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 3: like Dak Prescott isn't. Yeah, you know right, So yeah,

577
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 3: twenty one holding steady Aaron Rodgers. That's correct. He is bad. Yeah,

578
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 3: it seems to be getting worse. Yeah, there's five or six.

579
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I remember those throws.

580
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: But like, if you went to Indianapolis right now and

581
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,120
Speaker 2: said we will trade you Aaron Rodgers for the rest

582
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 2: of this season where he can go ahead and play

583
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson, I'd roll with richards I think they would too.

584
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:10,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not saying to give you a

585
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 3: better chance to win on Sunday, but that's door number two.

586
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: I'll take door number two, you know. Yeah. I don't

587
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 3: think Rodgers will be in a NFL next year. I

588
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 3: don't think he will either think he's done. I bet

589
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 3: he watches his tape and be like, I'm not what

590
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 3: I used to be. Yeah, and I hurt on Monday

591
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 3: a lot, and I got a lot of stuff I

592
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 3: want to do. Yeah, and I'm busy. Yeah, and then

593
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,360
Speaker 3: that leaves the Jets insurable.

594
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: And trouble at twenty up five spots. Derek Carr okay,

595
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: Derek Carr is now ahead of Aaron Rodgers.

596
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. The whole key with him is if he's under

597
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 3: a lot of pressure, it's going to be bad. Yeah,

598
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 3: heavy pass rush is bad. But if he can sit

599
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 3: there and survey the field, he'll pick you up. Part Yeah.

600
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah at nineteen he didn't even played last week down

601
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: three spots, Jordan Love, He's not.

602
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 3: Going to go any lower than that. That's way too low. Yeah,

603
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,640
Speaker 3: way too low. I mean, he hasn't played great through

604
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: his injury, but I wouldn't hold that against him.

605
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 2: At eighteen, only up one spot. Russell Wilson, he's playing

606
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 2: better than that.

607
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 3: He's playing better than that. Yes, I understand small sample

608
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,719
Speaker 3: size and you can use that as a not as

609
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 3: a crotch. But I love Matthew Stafford. But Russell Wilson's

610
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 3: playing better than him right now.

611
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 2: He's definitely playing better than the next guy and several

612
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 2: up here there right because it's seventeen down three spots.

613
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 2: Is Geno Smith. Russell Wilson's playing better than Geno Smith? Yeah,

614
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: he is, without question. At sixteen. He was a big

615
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: riser last week and now he is the big follower

616
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: this week, down ten spots, Matthew Stafford.

617
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a bad taste in my mouth. In

618
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: last week, I thought he played poorly, missed a lot

619
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: of throws, a lot of throws, and I you know,

620
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: how's his body feeling at the moment. The line didn't

621
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 3: help him all that much, helping.

622
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: All at fifteen up three spots to Attago Vi Loa.

623
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 3: I think he looks fine. He looks like himself. The

624
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: offense hasn't been putting forty or sixty on people, but

625
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: ball comes out on time, and I think he's the

626
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 3: offense is rounding in the shape. Would you rather have

627
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 3: Tua or Russell Wilson right now? Wilson, I think he's

628
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: better above a neck. I think so too. Yeah. Plus

629
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 3: he does so different.

630
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he does what this team wants him to do. Hey,

631
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 2: let's hit some deep balls.

632
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Miami would say to Yeah, you know,

633
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 3: Steelers would say Wilson.

634
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 2: At fourteen, down four spots, Sam Darnold, I'd be lower.

635
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: I can't have Jordan Love be Love.

636
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: And Wilson and even Stafford. Yeah, I think he'd be

637
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 3: more around eighteen.

638
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's up to ten ten interceptions now and he

639
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: has six fumbles in nine games.

640
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 3: And his good moments were quite a while ago.

641
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's got Justin Jefferson and now Hawkinson. It's

642
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 2: not a bad there's no right like a great scheme.

643
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's yeah.

644
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 2: Losing your left tackle can't affect you that much.

645
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: No, No, because he got a lot of stuff around you.

646
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 2: Still At thirteen up two spots, Jalen Hurts, Yeah, I think.

647
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: He's gradually moving up. I'm not a huge believer, but

648
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 3: I think he's played his best football time.

649
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: So he's completing almost seventy percent of his pastes. Yeah,

650
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 2: and the running is I mean it's great. Yeah, the

651
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: Toush pushes. I mean I could do the Toush push,

652
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 2: but yeah, I wouldn't like it.

653
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:40,239
Speaker 3: Uh.

654
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: At twelve up a spot, Kirk Cousins.

655
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 3: There's guys you mentioned I'd rather not play against than him. Yeah,

656
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 3: Stafford Love, you know, no doubt, would you rather play

657
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 3: against Cousins or Russell Wilson. Probably Cousins. I know where

658
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: he's gonna be at.

659
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 2: Like I go back to that, it was an eleven

660
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 2: yard completion that Wilson had to Calvin Austin. It was

661
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: on second and fifteen and he got eleven of it,

662
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: back runs to his runs to his left, comes all

663
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: the way back around to his right, and throws it

664
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: across his body to Like that looked like vintage Russell Wilson.

665
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I think cousins to me, the pros would

666
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 3: be middle of field passing. Yeah, you know that kind

667
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 3: of stuff. They're both good above the nect.

668
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: But you know exactly where he's gonna be, Like it's

669
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: there's the spot.

670
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, he's a little too high on there for

671
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 3: me and all those guys. Like if we were drafting guys,

672
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 3: he'd end up being lower than that. Yeah, Like like

673
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 3: I quick take him.

674
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 2: I mean he was still I picked him up two

675
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: weeks ago in our fantasy league and then I caught

676
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 2: him loose again when love's with love coming.

677
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 3: Back, Like, yeah, he's fine, Okay, Yeah, get you through

678
00:31:54,240 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 3: this stretch. Eleven up a spot is CJ. Stroud. Yeah.

679
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: Ten second, you're growing pains. But I mean he's been

680
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: really good.

681
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 2: The big riser this week, up seven spots, Kyler Murray,

682
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 2: he's played well.

683
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a fan. I think it's a good offense

684
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 3: that the team as a hole is clicking.

685
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 2: Nine down a spot. Baker Mayfield, Yeah, I'm.

686
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 3: Not gonna say he's gonna turn into a pumpkin. I

687
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 3: think he's going to be a starter for the next

688
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 3: five years, but I don't know. He's not a top

689
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 3: ten guy for me, even though there's too many turnover

690
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 3: worthy plays. Yeah, there was a lot of good this year,

691
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: and he's not playing with great dudes at the moment,

692
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 3: but I don't have a high trust factor.

693
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, nine interceptions and seven fumbles is too many total rep.

694
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: At eight up three spots, Rock Party. It's amazing how

695
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 3: he gets all the you know, all the guys get

696
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 3: back on the field and all of a sudden, Rock

697
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 3: Party is really good again. The one shocking thing about

698
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: that team is they're like bottom a league in red

699
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 3: zone offense. They're never at the bottom league in red zone.

700
00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 2: Off Yeah, you know, well McCaffrey getting back shore has

701
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 2: definitely helped that.

702
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: No question. He scores a million a million touchdowns.

703
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: At seven holding steady Jadeen Daniels, I wouldn't.

704
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 3: Ding them too much for last week. Yeah, it wasn't

705
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 3: his best game. The Steelers made him look average. Yeah yeah, Yeah,

706
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 3: he still had a couple of wild throws, but he

707
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 3: looked average. Yeah. If he looks like that again the night,

708
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 3: I would move him down to eleven. You know, at

709
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: six down a spot you had to ding him for

710
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 3: last week Jared Goff. Yeah, he's a certain type of quarterback,

711
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 3: and when it's good, he's phenomenal. I mean, frankly, I'd

712
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: rather play against Gough than Love at five up four spots,

713
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 3: justin Herbert. He's really on fire right now. Yeah, yep,

714
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 3: that's exactly where I put him. We know the top

715
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 3: four are and Herbert would be my five. At four

716
00:33:55,560 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 3: down a spot is Josh Allen, Okay, I mean the

717
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 3: way that you're never gonna put Mahomes at four. I

718
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: know that he's not one lately, somebody asked me four

719
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 3: out of the I guess that is what it comes

720
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 3: down to. At three down a spot is Mahomes, Okay,

721
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 3: I mean he's having the worst year of the four.

722
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. Burrow is two up two spots and number one

723
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 2: is Lamar.

724
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 3: I get it. They're having the best two seasons. Yeah,

725
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 3: and they're not bad. I mean, it's not like insane

726
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 3: to put them as the best quarterback in the league.

727
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,479
Speaker 3: It's not, no. I mean they're both playing really well,

728
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 3: really well. Yeah, I like your burrow for MVP conversation.

729
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 2: I mean, they got to get back into playoff contention

730
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 2: to happen, like they got to.

731
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 3: It's not going to happen.

732
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 2: They have to beat the Chargers this week.

733
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that might be an alleging game. You can't

734
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 3: lose another AFC game, yeah, because they would have seven

735
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:49,839
Speaker 3: then now they don't play the Ravens again, and that's

736
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 3: one of the few games they don't have. But massive quarterback,

737
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 3: they're not going to sweep to Steelers. Probably not. No,

738
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 3: I bet they win three games in the division. Yeah,

739
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 3: so I know they have a big time I'm up

740
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: heel client.

741
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so if they lose this one, that might be

742
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: it be time to start breaking into golf bags and

743
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 2: figuring out where you're going on vacation, which.

744
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 3: Means Week eighteen might be an easier opponent.

745
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 2: Well, they'll still want to beat the Steelers if it

746
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 2: means something to the Steelers. Yeah, But likewise, if the Steelers,

747
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 2: if the Steelers won't talk about this when we come back,

748
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 2: let's do that. That was Nick Shook's power rankings on

749
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 2: their Power Index for the quarterbacks this week. Russell Wilson

750
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 2: moves up a spot. He should be moving more rapidly.

751
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 3: He should be.

752
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 2: I think there's still some people out there who are

753
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 2: still here in the echoes of the Russell Wilson bad

754
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 2: teammate blah blah blah like.

755
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,399
Speaker 3: He also is a pretty decent track record in this league.

756
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you remember back when we were looking at

757
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:51,439
Speaker 2: these three four years ago, he was probably a little

758
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 2: overrated and it took him a while to move him down.

759
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, as to how he was playing then, he's

760
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 2: playing much better now and I want to talk about

761
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: why and then what that means. We'll do that when

762
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 2: we come back. He's Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lolli. You're

763
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 2: listening to the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network.

764
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: At least he's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

765
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

766
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

767
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lolli.

768
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson and I do finally have

769
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: the Ravens injury report here, all right, Lamar Jackson did

770
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 2: not practice today, but that was he was limited. I

771
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: should say that was considered a rest day.

772
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:42,240
Speaker 3: But I think there's something going on there's something happening

773
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 3: there with him because you're coming off ten days. Yeah,

774
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,839
Speaker 3: there's no reason to what's he resting from. And we've

775
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: talked about this week, I mean two weeks ago, he

776
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: didn't run much at all. You know, he's been bothering him.

777
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 3: Arball is not afraid to play with that a little bit.

778
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 3: I mean I think he's gonna play. But yeah.

779
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 2: A Malette added to the injury report with a calf

780
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 2: issue as limited. We mentioned that Kyle Hamilton was back. Well,

781
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: he's listed as limited. Who knows what he did, so,

782
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 2: who knows. I could have been working with the trainers

783
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 2: on the side. Isaiah Likely was a full participant today.

784
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 2: He was limited yesterday. Travis Jones added to the injury

785
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 2: report as limited with an ankle issue.

786
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 3: We were talking about him in the first hour. I

787
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 3: like him quite a bit. He's a big body that

788
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,319
Speaker 3: can move active. Yeah, I mean somebody like that. I

789
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 3: could see the Steelers going after as a nose. Yeah.

790
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,320
Speaker 3: So interesting. They're not quite as healthy as they appeared

791
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 3: to be. As soon as what's going on with Hamilton, Yeah,

792
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 3: but I guess they're looking at it. Probably good news. Unlikely,

793
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 3: you know, he's the guy who's been out that sounds

794
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 3: like he's coming back. Yeah. I don't know how much

795
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 3: he'll play in this one though, because you mentioned before Kohler,

796
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 3: I think needs to be out there more than you think,

797
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 3: and so does and or racard Man. One of those

798
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 3: two guys has to be on the field all the

799
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 3: time to help a lot. Yeah. So I don't think

800
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 3: you want Henry even being the chipper all that much.

801
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 3: And if you want a flat out double yeah, yeah.

802
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,839
Speaker 2: So, and Henry's not out there on third downs no.

803
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: Ever, I wanted to bring this up too. I do

804
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 3: think we might see a little bit more of Mitchell.

805
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 3: I guess Harball's been talking him up a little bit.

806
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 2: That that could be playing some games like that could be.

807
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 2: Are you really going to take Derrick Henry off the field? Yeah,

808
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 2: Mitchell out there.

809
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 3: When Hill's out there, they throw them the ball high

810
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 3: percent of the time. Yeah. And Henry doesn't get anything.

811
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 2: He's not much of he's ever only three point three

812
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: point two yards per carry Hill Yeah yeah.

813
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not a runner, No, he's not. But he'll

814
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:45,839
Speaker 3: catch the football. So, Matt, if the Steelers are if

815
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:51,319
Speaker 3: they win this game Sunday, yeah.

816
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 2: They would effectively take a two game.

817
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 3: Lead in the division.

818
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 2: Would they then vault into being the favorite to win the.

819
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 3: Divis I would think so. I mean, like you're talking

820
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: like Cynthia and the mathematicians and d A people and

821
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 3: all those things. Yeah, I mean division loss hurts bad

822
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 3: because it also hurts your conference stuff. No, I guess

823
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 3: the words talk about division. The key would be that.

824
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 2: Would be a second division loss for Baltimore.

825
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, right exactly. I like the chances if they get

826
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 3: this win. I like the chances of the Steelers going

827
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,800
Speaker 3: four and two in the division. Yeah, so yeah, I

828
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 3: would think they'd make them the mathematical favorites, and probably

829
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 3: I bet to be the favorite.

830
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 2: The other interesting thing about it is if Buffalo's able

831
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 2: to beat Kansas City this weekend, then all of a sudden,

832
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: your game out of first place overall in the conference.

833
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 3: Do we want that?

834
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 2: Do you want to be the number one seed in

835
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: the conference?

836
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 3: Why not? Yeah? It's not like Kansas City is just

837
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 3: going to run away from the world, right, Like is

838
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 3: Baltimore rooting for that too? It's Houston rooting for Buffalo

839
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 3: to Winston's got four losses now, so I think they're

840
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 3: probably the four almost no matter what? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,

841
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 3: I guess it depends. Also, who do you want to

842
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 3: play for?

843
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:11,240
Speaker 2: Baltimore doesn't matter because they're effectively right now four games

844
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 2: behind Kansas City because Kansas City has the tie breaker

845
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: on them and they have three losses. They can't finish

846
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: in a tie with Kansas City when the divis whin

847
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 2: the AFC North and finish as the number one seed.

848
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 2: That's what that that loss in the Oak did to them.

849
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, but the Steelers will get an opportunity

850
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 2: to hand Kansas City another lost league.

851
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think you do want Buffalo to way?

852
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, why not? Yeah, you add another one to

853
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 3: the Kansas City loss list potentially.

854
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, because right now Buffalo's two losses are

855
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 2: to Baltimore and Houston.

856
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 3: So I think we would all pick Houston. But Houston, Buffalo,

857
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 3: Kansas City? Where do you least want to play in

858
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 3: the playoffs? Round two? Because if you end up the

859
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 3: five and you beat Houston and all the favorites win,

860
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 3: then you got to go to one, right which I

861
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 3: would think Kansas City is still my last choice. No,

862
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 3: I don't think it's my last choice, but I would

863
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 3: Buffalo is the place I don't want to go play. Okay,

864
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 3: Buffalo's the close second. I'd rather go to Baltimore. I'd

865
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 3: rather go to Houston.

866
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:24,479
Speaker 2: Buffalo struggles stopping the run though, Like yeah, you know again,

867
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 2: there's so much football left to be played here that

868
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, how healthy are they?

869
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 3: What? What's going? Of course, right his Cooper, you know,

870
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 3: is he playing? Is he not playing? I don't know,

871
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 3: But this is a huge game if we were just

872
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,720
Speaker 3: looking at from a bill's chief perspective, Hosting the AFC

873
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 3: championship game against that team is a heck a lot

874
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 3: better than on the road. Absolutely, Absolutely, there's some monster

875
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 3: games in the in the league this week. It's like

876
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 3: Colts Patriots in the day. You know, Yeah, I don't know.

877
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 3: I mean starting with tonight, you got you got seven

878
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 3: and three against seven and two. You've got there's a

879
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 3: lot of division games.

880
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you got seven and three against seven and two

881
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 2: here in Pittsburgh, you get the Buffalo game with Kansas City.

882
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 2: I mean, those are three massive games in the af

883
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 2: In the NFL, Seattle's playing the Rams save a division

884
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 2: game they're playing, aren't they playing San Francisco.

885
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 3: Yes, Okay, that's a huge game in that division too. Yeah,

886
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 3: like if Seattle loses that one, they start to get

887
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 3: into the rams land of really looking up at the

888
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 3: hot teams. And then there was one other game I thought,

889
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 3: oh you mentioned too, Cincinnati La. Yeah, I mean that's

890
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 3: darn near an elimination game for the Bengals. Yeah, so,

891
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,360
Speaker 3: I mean there's some the layoff picture could look a

892
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 3: lot different on Tuesday.

893
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 2: Absolutely, yeah, I mean even Falcons Broncos.

894
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if anyone can catch Atlanta though

895
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 3: I don't I don't.

896
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 2: Know if they can either. But if they lose that one,

897
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, there's six and five on the

898
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 2: on the other side of that after the bye, if

899
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: the Broncos lose that game, they're five and.

900
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 3: Six, say I think I mean the Broncos, Yeah, Atlanta, And.

901
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 2: Let's say that that's let's say the Jets beat the Colts,

902
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,880
Speaker 2: so all of a sudden, they're four and seven, you know,

903
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 2: so they're back in it.

904
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 3: Or if I'm Miami, I'm kicking myself, like, if you

905
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 3: could have won one of these last two, you can

906
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 3: at least have a path. Yeah, you know, with two

907
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 3: a back. Well they did win one of them. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, no,

908
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 3: that's not They're not dead then. I mean if since

909
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 3: he loses, Denver loses, and Miami wins, they're back in

910
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 3: the hunt. Yeah, I guess the Jets conceivably could be.

911
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 2: The Dolphins have the Raiders this week. I mean, they

912
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 2: should win that game.

913
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 3: Bet they win that game.

914
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 2: Then again, the Raiders beat the Ravens.

915
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 3: They're one of the dreadful teams though. Yeah, I know, people.

916
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 3: One last thing here, Yeah, you talk about the Mike

917
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 3: Tomlin game.

918
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:49,919
Speaker 2: You lose these Mike Tomlin games. Here's the thing. Under

919
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 2: Tomlin as an underdog, the Steelers are fifty eight thirty

920
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: two and three as an underdog against against the spread.

921
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 3: Against the spread, So they keep the games close and

922
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 3: minimum or win it or win them. He actually they

923
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 3: win a lot of those.

924
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 2: He has a winning record as an underdog regardless of

925
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 2: where it's play at.

926
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 3: Because some of those are probably ten point games when

927
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 3: you have doc or I mean, like they're not all

928
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 3: one and a half or you know, small lines.

929
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 2: They've won their past five regular season games outright as

930
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 2: an underdog.

931
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 3: Wow, and they're.

932
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 2: Eighteen and ten in Tomlin's career outright as a home underdog.

933
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 3: Eighteen and ten as a home dog, which is this week, folks.

934
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: And they've already won one of these earlier this year

935
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 2: when they beat the Jets.

936
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 3: I wonder how manyaly, I wonder how many those twenty

937
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 3: eight games were divisional. I don't know, I mean, I know,

938
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,160
Speaker 3: I'm just kidding. There's gonna be a pretty decent percentage.

939
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 3: I mean, six out of seventeen games. I don't know

940
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 3: if they I mean, because most of the time it

941
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: would always be almost always be Baltimore, almost Baltimore. Well,

942
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 3: since he had some good teams.

943
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't think they'd be favored here. Yeah,

944
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 2: I think I think you're looking at New England, You're

945
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: looking at the City, San Francisco, Kansas City teams like that,

946
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 2: because you got you gotta be really good to come

947
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 2: to Pittsburgh and be favored. Because they've been this is

948
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 2: in Tomlin's career. Like, they've had a lot of good teams. Yeah,

949
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 2: and they've also had some eight nights in the eight

950
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 2: and eights. They're winning some a lot of these games.

951
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 3: At home, I'm sure a lot of them actually, instead

952
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,360
Speaker 3: of the Vision more I think about it, are probably

953
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 3: against AFC first place teams from the year before that

954
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 3: you get because you were in first place too, or

955
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, New England. Maybe it comes

956
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 3: to mind a lot Kansas City recently. Kansas City will

957
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 3: probably be favored here at Christmas, I would think so,

958
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 3: I would think so. Yeah, they're a dog in Buffalo.

959
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: I mean, the Steelers have been underdogs this already this season,

960
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,959
Speaker 2: probably about half the time. They were underdogs last week

961
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 2: and then when that came out right now, as I said,

962
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 2: they've they've won their past five regular season games outright

963
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 2: as an underdog.

964
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's crazy. They were dogs in Atlanta. I wonder

965
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 3: if that's the longest streak in the league.

966
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 2: Man, I don't know that. I bet it's it's got

967
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 2: to be.

968
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 3: I mean, Vegas knows stuff.

969
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, So, I mean they've they've done well as

970
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 2: an underdog and their three point on it's not like

971
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 2: they are an overwhelming underdog this weekend.

972
00:46:02,480 --> 00:46:03,840
Speaker 3: That's the other thing I was going to say, which

973
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 3: is as impressive is I bet most of those lines

974
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 3: are under four that there were dogs because they've never

975
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 3: been terrible, right, you know, and you're in your building

976
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 3: and you're going to.

977
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 2: Find a way to win more. Almost almost two out

978
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: of three three really high percentage. So yeah, if you're

979
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,439
Speaker 2: looking at something to give you a little hope this week,

980
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 2: that's what we're here for. There's a lot of stuff

981
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,440
