<v Speaker 2>I if I don't reply, it's not because I don't

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.640
<v Speaker 2>want to, but there's so many replies, so many people

0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 2>in there, I can't reply to them all. But anyways,

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 2>it's time now for the Fantasy football focus. And uh, well,

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 2>we mentioned the two Steelers injuries. Jalen Warren missing practice

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 2>today Nausea Harris back in full. Does that worry you

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:24.760
<v Speaker 2>in this game?

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 3>Does that? Well? I think Nause's a little bit of

0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:33.920
<v Speaker 3>an underrated receiver and underutilized receiver. And Patterson can do

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 3>some of that, quite a bit of it too, you know.

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 3>And there were even some packages last week where Warren

0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:41.679
<v Speaker 3>was the back and Patterson was basically a wide receiver.

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 3>But did the defense count that as two backs or

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.479
<v Speaker 3>do you account it as eleven? You know what I mean?

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 3>So that's there's that's some fun stuff. So I think

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 3>there's some untapped things with those two. But the answer

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 3>to question is yes, it worries me because I really

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.600
<v Speaker 3>liked the way Warren was trending from where he was

0:01:58.640 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 3>injury wise early in the year, and I thought this

0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 3>was going to be more of a warring game than

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 3>maybe any this year, considering their past problems, you know,

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.920
<v Speaker 3>past defense problems. So I guess we'll see. But I

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:13.720
<v Speaker 3>don't expect him end of the show. By the way, yeah,

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.200
<v Speaker 3>my friend of the show, he's on yesterday, so you

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 3>can get back and listen to that. Check that out

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 3>if you miss it.

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I don't expect him to miss the game.

0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 3>I would be fighting through everything.

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'd be surprised if you're limited or slept wrong

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>on it or whatever. I look up on the wrong

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 2>side of the bed.

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Whatever. Tomorrow we're not even talking about it.

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, Darnell Mooney with an achilles issue limited practice

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:37.119
<v Speaker 2>on Thursday.

0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Do you think he's in every week Fantasy Starter at

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:39.520
<v Speaker 3>this point?

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>He's at least a wide receiver three, low end two.

0:02:42.080 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 3>I think he's in that top thirty six probably no

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 3>matter what. Yeah, I mean he's had a really good year. Yeah,

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 3>so that's significant. Yes, absolutely, because I don't think London's

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 3>one hundred percent, but I mean they're a good offense

0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 3>and he's a big part of it.

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Playing Denver this week, you know, So how do you

0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 2>approach that if Darnell Mooney ends up missing this game?

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:07.119
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean has got a big more pits. Yeah,

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.760
<v Speaker 3>that's the answer, because like I would still start London

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 3>if I have them. He's really good, but he's gonna

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 3>have an up, he'll climb, you know. I would think

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.359
<v Speaker 3>Pitts get to boost.

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely, so we'll see how I mean, keep keep

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 2>that in mind. I mean, Bijeon has been running the

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 2>ball super effectively less too Yeah.

0:03:24.240 --> 0:03:26.399
<v Speaker 3>He's been catching the ball well too. But he's having

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.919
<v Speaker 3>a tremendous year and he's even getting hotter as the

0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:29.520
<v Speaker 3>year goes on.

0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, amazing thing is is the guy in our league

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:37.920
<v Speaker 2>who has Bijon and Derrick Henry and he's like three

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>and seven. Wow, it's George Pickens too. Like, you gotta

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>really try to do that.

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 3>So I don't bring up my well, I guess I

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.480
<v Speaker 3>do bring up my teams. But every Tuesday night is

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Fantasy Night where I go through all my Dynasty leagues

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 3>and my two Redraft leagues and put my waiver wear

0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.440
<v Speaker 3>claims in, I submit my lineup. Look, who the is everybody?

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Does you know? When one of my bie weeks? What

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 3>do I need to do here in this league that I'm in?

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 3>In Dynasty, I have the most points scored by like

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.000
<v Speaker 3>two hundred. I mean it's a lot more than anybody else.

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 3>I have three wins. Fire that the defensive coordinator, man,

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like that's one of the things about the

0:04:18.560 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 3>about this game that makes you crazy.

0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes just fire the head coach because he's calling the

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 2>wrong putting the wrong guys in the game.

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.280
<v Speaker 3>No, I'm scoring the most points in the league. I

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.800
<v Speaker 3>just don't beat the opponent like game planing.

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Well enough, Yeah, you're the Ravens defense.

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean have three wins. I have the most

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 3>points in the league. Uh.

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Algierre with that quiet issue, was back as a

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 2>full participant in practice today, so they had their one

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:42.320
<v Speaker 2>two punch.

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.160
<v Speaker 3>I guess if you had Bejean wouldn't be crying too

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 3>much if he wasn't did. Yeah.

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.839
<v Speaker 2>Kirk Cousins also back. He has shoulder and elbow issues.

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 3>I bet he's ailing. Yeah, he's got to be hurting

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 3>at the stage of his career season. Remember he didn't

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.240
<v Speaker 3>throw it all last year. But you know, so now

0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:01.039
<v Speaker 3>you're getting back into it. And as the older guys go,

0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:05.920
<v Speaker 3>he's not Ben or far or athlete, the biggest strongest

0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 3>brute you know. Yeah.

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Amari Cooper with the wrist injury, officially limited on Thursday.

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 3>I think they have major receiver issues. Yeah. Dalton Kincaid

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 3>with a knee was a non participant on Thursday. I

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 3>don't think ke Coleman's playing. Ke Coleman is not playing, Okay,

0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.839
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Shakir fire him up, he gets a boost.

0:05:24.000 --> 0:05:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Matt Collins is a sneaky he got picked up in

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.400
<v Speaker 3>one of my DFS start It's dead to Sneaky DFS star. Yeah,

0:05:30.440 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 3>it was a Dynasty league. That's too deep, yeah for

0:05:32.760 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 3>most people. But Shakira gets a boost certainly helps the

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.479
<v Speaker 3>chief chance to win the game. Yeah, I wonder about

0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 3>because King Kid plays, I think he gets a boost too.

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's a knee issue. He's managing a knee injury

0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:46.600
<v Speaker 2>right now. Looks like he has a real shot of

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 2>missing Sunday's game.

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 3>They did. They also have Dawson Knox. Yeah, that's he's

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 3>not terrible. Yeah, who's had a pretty good chance to

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 3>catch a touchdown.

0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and you know, I mean they like him. Yeah,

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 2>quarterback likes him. It's not like they don't. Yeah, if

0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 2>he's out there, they're not going to ignore him.

0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.240
<v Speaker 3>They didn't draft Concaid because they hate not right, you know,

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:10.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they just want to change the way they play. Yeah.

0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 2>Marshawn Lloyd with what I forgot about him, with the

0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>ankle and hamstring stuff. He was actually limited on Thursday.

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Because there are number two situations been goofy. I don't

0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.480
<v Speaker 3>know if it even Emanuel Wilson's kind of been the guy,

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.039
<v Speaker 3>but I wonder if Lloyd's kind of the Roman Wilson

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 3>train here though, you know, like tough. It's harder for

0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 3>a receiver.

0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, running backs a little easier to get back to it.

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 3>But he was never great and his problems were protection

0:06:34.880 --> 0:06:39.479
<v Speaker 3>and fumbles. Yeah, which is stay off the field. Yeah, Yeah,

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:40.680
<v Speaker 3>here's the thing.

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Josh Jacobs with the Claude was limited on Thursday.

0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 3>He's had a pretty heavy workload.

0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 2>A heavy heavy workload. They're coming off a bye. You

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:52.159
<v Speaker 2>would think you think he'd be all right at this point.

0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, keep an eye on it, obviously. Yeah, Gyr Allexy,

0:06:55.600 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 3>fire up Wilson if he doesn't play, Yeah, yeah, I

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 3>mean if if he's only showing town, it doesn't matter

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.640
<v Speaker 3>if he's good or not, right, Yeah, he's a good offense.

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.320
<v Speaker 2>Jyr Alexander was limited on Thursday as well for the Packers.

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so Bears offense has been broke.

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:16.480
<v Speaker 2>But we finally have news. Mike McCarthy telling people. They're

0:07:16.480 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 2>telling reporters, I should say they're reporters. Are people too,

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah they are. Rico dal Dell will be the lead

0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>back for the certainly Dallas Cowboys.

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I made a deal in our league and the

0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 3>throw in to make the numbers work, like me, throw

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 3>me Dell. I could start him if I have to.

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 3>You know, their problem is they're just not going to

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 3>score any points. No, the offense is gonna be bad.

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.000
<v Speaker 3>But he's the best one on tape. Elliott's shot. Yeah,

0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 3>Now I wonder.

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Cooper Rush hadn't really played in.

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.640
<v Speaker 3>A few years. I mean he's not. He's he's gonna

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 3>get better than what he was in the in the

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 3>first He's never been the anchor that he looked like

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 3>in this game. I mean, I think we know he

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:54.360
<v Speaker 3>looked awful last awful. I bet he's better. It's probably true,

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 3>like Ceedee Lamb might be a by low.

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if your trade deadline's coming up. Yeah, you know

0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 2>they get the most recent game. Ceede Lamb was not good.

0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Right, and you're just looking at like this offense.

0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Think so, hey, I'll give you my wide receiver too

0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 2>for CD Lamb. Yeah, okay, yeah, i'd be I mean

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.400
<v Speaker 2>he got ten targets in that game.

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 3>He's going to show in town. Yeah. I mean even

0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 3>Mingos probably not gonna get involved for a while, you know.

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So, I mean ten targets is ten targets if

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:19.480
<v Speaker 2>he catches eight of them.

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 3>You're happy. Yeah, he make it twelve fifteen targets. Yeah,

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 3>they'll be losing too. Uh.

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 2>Josh Reynolds was designated to return from ir with the Broncos.

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 2>He was fantasy relevant early in the year.

0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he was out splashes in his career, even in

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 3>that in Detroit. Man, just keep an eye out. Yeah,

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.280
<v Speaker 3>No one's other than Sutton. No one's really distinguishing themself.

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 3>That's the thing. I mean.

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Right now, it's sutting and nothing else. Every once in

0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 2>a while the slot guy will get involved. But they're

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.200
<v Speaker 2>going to be playing some meaningful games here.

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it seems to be getting a little better.

0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>There's nothing on the waiver wire right now.

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 3>Give me for in fantasy leagues.

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, I mean everything he's done everywhere. Yeah, at

0:08:58.480 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 2>this point, everything's picked over.

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Injuries are hitting the hard yeah, right.

0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean, are you gonna push the button to start

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Josh Reynolds. Well, Ba mcgeddon's are coming up. Weeks twelve

0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:09.240
<v Speaker 2>and four are gonna be real.

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna be bad. Yeah, So just keep that in mind.

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 2>We mentioned Gardner Minshew named the starter for week eleven

0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 2>for the Raiders.

0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 3>That's good for fantasy. How long is that they stick

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 3>with that thought? I mean he's on a short leash. Yeah.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.520
<v Speaker 3>The problem is the other dogs aren't very good on

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 3>the leashes. Yeah, but for fantasy, that's who you want. Yeah,

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 3>but yeah, not good.

0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:39.120
<v Speaker 2>The Falcons have confirmed that Young Ho Ku will remain

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 2>their kicker. He's missed five of his past seven field Yeah.

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 2>He's actually fallen to like he was like fifth, fourth

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 2>or fifth on the all time kicking for field goal

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:48.560
<v Speaker 2>kicking percentage list.

0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 3>He's not like eighth yeah, yeah, just because of this year.

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 2>It's like Tucker. Tucker's now below ninety percent for his career.

0:09:54.640 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 2>One bad year, one bad year that kind of happened

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.280
<v Speaker 2>to bas what happened to Boswell. If you took one

0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:01.680
<v Speaker 2>of those bad year years out of Boswell stats, he'd

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 2>be one, right, he'd be number one.

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, consistency position.

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you know they're and you. When you're the

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.079
<v Speaker 2>Falcons and you lose a game like you did last

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>week by three and oh you kicker missed three of them.

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 3>I think one was blocked too. Yeah that's not good. No,

0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's earned a little trust because he's not

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.600
<v Speaker 3>the new guy. But you'll forget about you pretty quick too. Yeah,

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:26.840
<v Speaker 3>they'll move on. Uh.

0:10:27.000 --> 0:10:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Gus Edwards back in the limited practice yesterday. Interested in

0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:33.920
<v Speaker 2>hopping on the Gus bus. If he's pretty agent, I'm

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 2>picking them up.

0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I mean he's a dobbin's injury away from being

0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 3>the guy.

0:10:37.600 --> 0:10:39.520
<v Speaker 2>And not only that, but if you look at it

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.800
<v Speaker 2>early in the year when both were available, they were

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:45.120
<v Speaker 2>pretty much splitting carries almost fifty to fifty.

0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.880
<v Speaker 3>It's the same coordinator from Baltimore. Yeah, I mean, gonna

0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 3>treat him exact same. He's going to get the goal

0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:51.680
<v Speaker 3>line kid. Goal one carries. The offense is getting better.

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.599
<v Speaker 3>He should be in every league. Yeah, I mean the

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 3>schedule is not difficult. No, it's not. And they should

0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 3>be able to run latent games too. Yeah.

0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 2>You know, Gus Edwards is a sneaky kind of I mean,

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.199
<v Speaker 2>if he plays this week, he's a sneaky DFS play's achieved.

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 3>He'll be thirty five hundred bucks. Yeah. I like his

0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.959
<v Speaker 3>chance if he falls into the end zone. Yeah you went. Yeah.

0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Joey Bosa was limited on Wednesday.

0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Jones with that rib issue officially limited on Wednesday

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:22.320
<v Speaker 2>as well.

0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Okay, I get the impression that they think he's going

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 3>to go, But I bets are tricky for say, that

0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 3>smells like a game time decision. Yeah, I hope they're

0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.199
<v Speaker 3>not like a Sunday night or a Monday night or

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 3>even a four o'clocker. Yeah, I can't remember. I think

0:11:36.200 --> 0:11:36.720
<v Speaker 3>they're at one.

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.199
<v Speaker 2>And Sam Darnold also was limited yesterday with a hand issue.

0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.959
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, Yeah, that might explain some of the interceptions

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:47.200
<v Speaker 2>he has been throwing back eight. Uh you interested in

0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:50.320
<v Speaker 2>anybody in tonight's game. Tonight's game actually would be an

0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 2>interesting captain's chare build.

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.199
<v Speaker 3>To build one? Next second, Let's let's take a look here.

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 2>Let's take a look here and see what, uh what

0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.840
<v Speaker 2>stands out to us, because I mean, it's a good game.

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:01.480
<v Speaker 2>That's a good I think a lot of people have

0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:05.000
<v Speaker 2>eyeballs on it. First place in the East, and both

0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 2>these teams are playing really well, two of the better

0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:10.920
<v Speaker 2>teams in the NFC noticeably better. Yeah, so let's let's

0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 2>take a look here and see where we would go

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 2>with this for tonight's game.

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:21.280
<v Speaker 3>Are we thinking Robinson Brian is going to play? Looks

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 3>like it, Yeah, it looks like everybody's Latimore's out. Yeah,

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Latimore's still not playing. So if we want to go

0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 3>with the captain's chair, Jalen Hurst is sixteen to five.

0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:36.400
<v Speaker 3>Saque is fifteen to nine, Jayden Daniels is fifteen to six.

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Aj Brown is fifteen one hundred or fifteen thousand, even uh,

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 3>Terry McLaurin thirteen to five, Davante Smith twelve nine, Brian

0:12:47.320 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 3>Robinson twelve three, Austin Ecklar twelve thousand, Dallas Goddard ninety

0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.000
<v Speaker 3>nine hundred, Noah Brown ninety three hundred.

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.760
<v Speaker 2>I was impressed with Noah Brown. I'm not going to

0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:00.120
<v Speaker 2>get into all the quarterbacks there that are listed and

0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 2>next Zach Ertz is eighty four hundred. The kickers, Jake

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:08.559
<v Speaker 2>Kellie is seventy eight hundred, Zaying Gonzalez is seventy two hundred.

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.080
<v Speaker 2>The Eagles defense is sixty six hundred. Johan Dotson is

0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 2>six thousand. The Commanders defense game for fifty nine hundred

0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 2>is a revenge game for him.

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't play much.

0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.359
<v Speaker 2>Then there's some other guys there. I would probably look at.

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Davante Smith would be interesting.

0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:27.680
<v Speaker 3>My problem with that when I thought he was a

0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 3>little too cheap. When you were reading off the numbers

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 3>when Goddard, Brown and Smith have all been healthy. He's

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:38.520
<v Speaker 3>kind of underachieved. But that's also it's a huge game. Yeah,

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean, it's a huge game. You

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.400
<v Speaker 3>have to I was leading towards A J. Brown.

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:44.560
<v Speaker 2>I mean that would be solid as well. I mean,

0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 2>he's cheaper than he's fifteen, So if you went with

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 2>him at fifteen n you can average seven thousand the

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:53.600
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way. Well, Jalen Hurts is eleven thousand,

0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.160
<v Speaker 2>sak one is ten to six.

0:13:55.240 --> 0:13:57.480
<v Speaker 3>I mean, there's some big hitters in this game. Jane

0:13:57.559 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Daniels is ten to four. McLaurin is worried at all

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 3>about Jayden Dangles for fantasy. No, I'm not either. No. Uh.

0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 2>McLaurin is nine thousand, Devonte Smith is eighty six hundred.

0:14:08.600 --> 0:14:11.640
<v Speaker 2>So you're gonna need a cheap option or two if

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 2>you want to get if you want to get one

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 2>of those big dogs, because you get you almost have

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:15.839
<v Speaker 2>to have Jalen Hurts.

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:22.240
<v Speaker 3>Put Well, put Jalen Hurts in the lineup. Okay, maybe

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.160
<v Speaker 3>we move Brown out of the chair and put him

0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.560
<v Speaker 3>in the lineup, but.

0:14:26.520 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 2>Then you got to pivot to somebody else? What are

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:28.880
<v Speaker 2>you pivoting to?

0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.560
<v Speaker 3>I was thinking about going cheap with Lake and Austin Eckler.

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 3>What if Brian Robinson reaggravates or they're losing heavy and

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 3>it's the row, you know what I mean? Yeah, that's

0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:41.760
<v Speaker 3>not a bad call. Well let's see them. We should

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 3>be able to load up everywhere else. Let's see what

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 3>that He's still twelve thousand and everybody was expensive. Yeah,

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 3>So if you do that, aj like the expense A J.

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 2>Brown is ten thousand. So you got that stack, you

0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 2>can average fifty six hundred to rest it away, which

0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 2>again you get you anyway, you're gonna need it. You're

0:14:58.840 --> 0:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>gonna need some cheap options.

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 3>What a kicker you go?

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Jake Elliott or the Eagles defense? I think the Eagles

0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:09.000
<v Speaker 2>are gonna win. Where do you go Washington's defense or

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 2>even cheaper? They're thirty six hundred. Eagles defense is forty

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:15.720
<v Speaker 2>four hundred. Is there some really cheap guy? Well that's

0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 2>something to look at. Jeremy McNichols is one of.

0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 3>The Washington running backs like s not doesn't even play.

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Diami Brown is sixteen hundred. Luke McCaffrey is twelve hundred.

0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.800
<v Speaker 2>He was opened more than you think. He was one

0:15:28.800 --> 0:15:31.320
<v Speaker 2>of those guys that got missed a fair amount. I

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 2>would throw him in there. I mean we're gonna have

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 2>to go cheap somewhere. Grant Calcaterra is one thousand, Okay,

0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 2>how much is Luke, say, twelve hundred?

0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.520
<v Speaker 3>I would put him in. Jake Bates is six hundred,

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 3>Ben Sinnett is two hundred, Will Shipley is four hundred.

0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Is he the number two though, I mean Barkley doesn't.

0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Ever come out, well, no, actually the number two is

0:15:54.240 --> 0:15:58.120
<v Speaker 2>game game well thirty two hundred. Yeah, yeah, I'm just

0:15:58.160 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 2>looking here.

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 3>Caffrey's the one I would cheap, really cheapy it up with.

0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:05.600
<v Speaker 2>You could get something out of that, yeah.

0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 3>I mean that might allow us to not have two

0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:09.000
<v Speaker 3>junkie guys.

0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so he would be twelve and night get average

0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:13.760
<v Speaker 2>seventy nine hundred, which still doesn't get you into range

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.920
<v Speaker 2>to get like you could get Jade Daniels, but then

0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna have another cheapye where you could get McLaurin.

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:24.920
<v Speaker 2>But you're still gonna have to have another cheapy Bryan

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Robinson your story, and he doesn't catch the ball enough

0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 2>to make.

0:16:27.880 --> 0:16:30.720
<v Speaker 3>That worth it. Robinson would be low on my list

0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:32.120
<v Speaker 3>coming off an injury. Yeah.

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Goddard was a kicker ddar at sixty six hundred, so

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 2>you could afford him. Let me see if so, if

0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.520
<v Speaker 2>you went Goddard, that leads you ninety two hundred, and

0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 2>that would get you McLaurin.

0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:44.960
<v Speaker 3>It's not bad. Goddard had a good year when he's

0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:46.920
<v Speaker 3>out there. Yeah, he just missed some time.

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 2>So that would that was you'd have that and you

0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:50.440
<v Speaker 2>still have two hundred dollars left over.

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.080
<v Speaker 3>Okay, is there any logic to go in a kicker?

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I could you know which that probably take Phillies.

0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so if I take Gardards on their back, Goddard

0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 2>McLaurin out, and you go a kicker.

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:06.399
<v Speaker 3>Washington still kicks a ton of field goals if they

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.040
<v Speaker 3>do all from a year a week ago. You know.

0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.679
<v Speaker 3>But do you trust Zane Gonzalez? Yeah? All right, we

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 3>think weathers that gives.

0:17:13.640 --> 0:17:15.960
<v Speaker 2>You eleven thousand, and that would mean that you could.

0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.919
<v Speaker 3>Get are they getting our weather in Philly? I would assume.

0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:21.760
<v Speaker 3>So that's not great some of it? Yeah.

0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Uh, you could get Saque at ten six, You could

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:26.200
<v Speaker 2>get Jayden and Daniels at ten four, and you could

0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.760
<v Speaker 2>actually pay up and get Elliott still have enough to

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:30.840
<v Speaker 2>get Elliot instead of aying Gonzales.

0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:31.399
<v Speaker 3>I prefer to Elliott.

0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:36.639
<v Speaker 2>I think, yeah, So if you go Elliott, are we

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 2>still McCaffrey in there? There's fifty two hundred McCaffrey's in there.

0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.439
<v Speaker 2>That leads you ten to six, and that gets you

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.640
<v Speaker 2>enough to get Saquon Barkley. If you want Saquon Barkley.

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:50.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't not want Saeon or Jayden Daniels. I feel

0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:53.320
<v Speaker 2>like we're a little light on Commanders, and that's.

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:55.720
<v Speaker 3>One week ago. We'd be like, this is one of

0:17:55.720 --> 0:17:56.520
<v Speaker 3>the best offenses in the lead.

0:17:56.560 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 2>If I think the Commanders are going to lose the game,

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 2>you want Jayden Denny. He's gonna have to row.

0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:02.359
<v Speaker 3>I think they're going to lose the game. But we

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 3>don't have chlaurin though that's the only problem we don't.

0:18:04.600 --> 0:18:06.360
<v Speaker 3>I'd like love to have McLaurin.

0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 2>They're the only the only pass catcher that you have

0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:13.240
<v Speaker 2>for them is Echler and McCaffrey and McCaffrey yeah, which okay,

0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, he's.

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Out there a lot.

0:18:15.760 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 2>So the question then becomes, do you want Barkley or

0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:19.360
<v Speaker 2>do you want Jayden and Daniels?

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.639
<v Speaker 3>I think Daniels. I think quarterbacks is nice. Yeah, I

0:18:23.640 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 3>think in the line, I think Daniel scores more points. Yeah, yeah,

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 3>I do too. Yeah, and that would have two It's

0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 3>a lefto conversation. Yeah, who would you start? Dan? You

0:18:33.480 --> 0:18:34.320
<v Speaker 3>start two quarterbacks?

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.199
<v Speaker 2>We can now I'm not actually going to enter this one.

0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:37.919
<v Speaker 2>I just I just called up the first line up

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 2>the first contest I saw, So I'm not gonna answer.

0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:41.000
<v Speaker 3>What would we end up with.

0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 2>Ekler and the captain's share at twelve thousand? Okay, Jalen

0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Hurts at eleven thousand, AJ Brown at ten thousand, Luke

0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:52.760
<v Speaker 2>McCaffrey at twelve hundred, uh, Jake Elliott at fifty two

0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:55.080
<v Speaker 2>hundred and Jade and Daniels at ten four.

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:59.760
<v Speaker 3>Two quarterbacks, it is pretty nice and a J. Brown, Yeah, McCaffrey.

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:03.840
<v Speaker 3>Does Caffrick catchs three or four balls if Eckler catches Yeah, yeah,

0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 3>I think he'll catch that work. Yeah, four passes that

0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:08.479
<v Speaker 3>I mean, they run screens to him a lot. They

0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:10.439
<v Speaker 3>couldn't do it against the Steelers. Steelers did a good

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:14.439
<v Speaker 3>job of controlling that right, but most weeks Eckler has

0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 3>been a good fantasy player. Yeah, so yeah, it's not bad,

0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 3>not a bad lineup. It's a fun game though, too.

0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so see how that does tonight. But that's going

0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:26.880
<v Speaker 2>to do it for the fantasy football focus. Let's get

0:19:26.880 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 2>to a break. He is the Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lolly.

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:34.120
<v Speaker 2>You're listening to the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network, Matt,

0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 2>and I'll be back with more right after this.

0:19:41.400 --> 0:19:44.880
<v Speaker 1>He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.119
<v Speaker 1>your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

0:19:47.119 --> 0:19:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Welcome back. I am Dale Lolly. He is the Matt

0:19:56.400 --> 0:19:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Williamson and this is the Drive on the Steelers Audio Network.

0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:00.240
<v Speaker 3>Matt.

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.159
<v Speaker 2>Let's go ahead and take Earlier in the show, he

0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.080
<v Speaker 2>looked at the offensive line rankings. Let's take a look

0:20:05.119 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 2>at the quarterback rankings, and we're getting a lot. We're

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 2>heading down the road from last year in the year

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.639
<v Speaker 2>before that, where he had like seventy different guys start games.

0:20:16.840 --> 0:20:19.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, quite to that level yet, I mean, but we're

0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:23.520
<v Speaker 3>getting it feels better than that. But I have started

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 3>two quarterbacks this year, right right right? I mean, you

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 3>don't think of it that way. But they have. Yeah,

0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:30.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean I remember last year the Browns and Jets

0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:30.880
<v Speaker 3>started four.

0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:34.080
<v Speaker 2>The Browns have started three already, already they start No,

0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:35.440
<v Speaker 2>they didn't start DTR.

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yet, but that could happen if we would happen,

0:20:37.520 --> 0:20:38.920
<v Speaker 3>just to get a look at him last couple of weeks.

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:40.440
<v Speaker 3>By the way, did you look at their schedule the

0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:42.800
<v Speaker 3>rest of the way, it's really hotful Yeah. Yeah, there's

0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:43.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot of losses.

0:20:43.520 --> 0:20:47.159
<v Speaker 2>And Jamis might throw about fifteen interceptions the rest of

0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:50.120
<v Speaker 2>the way this season. No, I got some really good

0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 2>defenses that they play down the stretch that it's not

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:55.480
<v Speaker 2>going to be kind to him. But yeah, I mean

0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 2>so some of the I mean a lot of these

0:20:56.800 --> 0:21:00.359
<v Speaker 2>teams have started multiple starters. I mean Indianapolis tennis See.

0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, some of them are benchings, you know, Carolina Tennessee.

0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:06.560
<v Speaker 3>Like you mentioned, right, you know, we almost had three

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:11.600
<v Speaker 3>starters for the Raiders this week. We've had two for Jacksonville.

0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:13.440
<v Speaker 3>I bet we end up with three two in Dallas.

0:21:14.200 --> 0:21:16.000
<v Speaker 3>Dallas is probably gonna be three before the end of

0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:19.280
<v Speaker 3>the season. Fortunately, there's some like Kua that got hurt

0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:21.159
<v Speaker 3>but came back. Yeah, you know, you're back to the

0:21:21.160 --> 0:21:26.560
<v Speaker 3>start they start three, I don't think so. I think

0:21:26.640 --> 0:21:27.800
<v Speaker 3>they did start three. Yea.

0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Huntly started a couple of those games too, So they've

0:21:31.040 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 2>started three quarterbacks.

0:21:32.160 --> 0:21:33.360
<v Speaker 3>They're probably the only team that has.

0:21:33.440 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 2>Once you start getting into three quarterbacks range, it's like

0:21:37.160 --> 0:21:39.160
<v Speaker 2>the numbers just start to climb and climb, like.

0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:41.679
<v Speaker 3>Probably Lance might get a start. I think at some

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.359
<v Speaker 3>point you have to why not. You have to remember

0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.760
<v Speaker 3>Minnesota last year, like they pulled Dobs off the street. Yeah,

0:21:47.880 --> 0:21:49.879
<v Speaker 3>they went through four. Have you seen his commercial by

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:50.800
<v Speaker 3>the way, ye it's pretty good.

0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.199
<v Speaker 2>Who was sitting around going, Okay, let's let's come up

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:54.920
<v Speaker 2>with a commercial idea.

0:21:54.960 --> 0:21:57.320
<v Speaker 3>How about we get Josh Dobbs get back up quarterback?

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So this week this is Nick Schook's rankings here

0:22:02.400 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 2>on the NFL dot Com.

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:06.159
<v Speaker 3>He has Cooper Rush at thirty two. That's fine, and

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:09.080
<v Speaker 3>he played terrible. Yeah uh.

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:11.200
<v Speaker 2>He has Mac Jones at thirty one.

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:13.359
<v Speaker 3>He was pretty terrible too. Yeah.

0:22:13.520 --> 0:22:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that was downgrade all of your Jaguars pass catchers too.

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:21.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I mean, like Brian Thomas was a really good story.

0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 3>But that ship might have sailed. That's going away. So

0:22:23.760 --> 0:22:26.720
<v Speaker 3>Evan Ingram, it was one of your top fantasy target

0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:28.160
<v Speaker 3>He was a target hog too. Yeah.

0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 2>Out there at thirty up two spots. This shows you

0:22:32.280 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 2>were Gardner Minshew as.

0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:39.440
<v Speaker 3>Better than those two right now. Yeah, at twenty nine

0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:42.720
<v Speaker 3>up two spots again, moved up because nothing that he did,

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:46.800
<v Speaker 3>but two new guys came in. Jameis Winston. Yeah, I

0:22:46.800 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 3>guess he's still below like a Daniel Jones. Yeah, he

0:22:50.000 --> 0:22:52.000
<v Speaker 3>definitely is. Well. Daniel Jones is another one that could

0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:54.040
<v Speaker 3>get bench soon. Yeah. I was thinking that too. I

0:22:54.040 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 3>bet we see Locke at some point this year.

0:22:55.560 --> 0:23:00.600
<v Speaker 2>At twenty eight. Caleb Williams, he's playing terrible and their

0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 2>offense is horrible right now. I think they've gone like

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:05.280
<v Speaker 2>thirty one quarters now without scoring a touchdown.

0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.159
<v Speaker 3>Wow, I knew it was bad. I didn't think it

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.520
<v Speaker 3>was that bad. That's insane. Yeah, not scoring touchdowns and

0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:13.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm not sure a coordinator change is going to be like, oh,

0:23:13.600 --> 0:23:14.240
<v Speaker 3>everything's fat.

0:23:14.320 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 2>He has nine touchdown passes on the season, and if

0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 2>you remember, he had like I think it was a

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 2>three touchdown game or maybe four touchdowns in one game

0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:23.600
<v Speaker 2>earlier in the.

0:23:23.560 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Season, he had one blow up game. Yeah, and it said, oh,

0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:30.200
<v Speaker 3>look at this, this is this is the guy. Yeah right, Yeah,

0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 3>maybe we could even talk about some other time. But

0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:37.359
<v Speaker 3>we did a mailbag show yesterday and this isn't fantasy related,

0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:39.600
<v Speaker 3>but if you were to draft all the first round

0:23:39.680 --> 0:23:42.520
<v Speaker 3>quarterbacks again, what order would you put them in? Knowing

0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:45.760
<v Speaker 3>what you know now, he wouldn't be one from this year,

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Jade and Daniels. Daniels was clearly one. I said I'd

0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 3>still take May over Williams.

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:54.200
<v Speaker 2>There were again, I like Daniels better than Williams in

0:23:54.240 --> 0:23:56.800
<v Speaker 2>last year's draft, I mean, Maze the guy. I was

0:23:56.840 --> 0:24:00.080
<v Speaker 2>really high on him. He's played better than caleboy.

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:02.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Nicks has played better than Williams. If I

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:04.520
<v Speaker 3>would still draft Williams over nickt Yeah.

0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Twenty seven down three spots is Daniel Jones.

0:24:08.800 --> 0:24:11.480
<v Speaker 3>That's about where he lives. Yeah. Do you think he's

0:24:11.480 --> 0:24:13.399
<v Speaker 3>an opening day starter next year? I do not. I

0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:15.960
<v Speaker 3>don't either, unless it's a hold down the fort for

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:17.320
<v Speaker 3>a first round pick guy.

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:20.240
<v Speaker 2>At twenty six up four spots and he just got benched.

0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 3>Joe Flacco. Yeah, that's about how he played too. I mean,

0:24:24.400 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 3>it was a good story, but the production wasn't all that.

0:24:27.680 --> 0:24:29.920
<v Speaker 3>He just can't move anymore. He can't move anymore. Right,

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 3>He's not that hard to play against. He's also very streaky.

0:24:33.240 --> 0:24:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Steelers happened.

0:24:33.920 --> 0:24:37.280
<v Speaker 2>He's extremely streaky at the hot streak right at twenty

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:40.000
<v Speaker 2>five was unrated last week?

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Actually played pretty well, was Will Levis? He did. I've

0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 3>been really hard on him. He's not for me. He

0:24:46.080 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 3>didn't have the turnovers. But some of these guys, they

0:24:48.359 --> 0:24:50.280
<v Speaker 3>finally figured out how to get the ball of Calvin Ridley.

0:24:50.680 --> 0:24:53.600
<v Speaker 3>Ridley's blowing up. You haven't mentioned Bryce Young yet, Yeah,

0:24:53.600 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 3>I mean, like maybe that can happen to Richardson. I

0:24:56.160 --> 0:24:58.480
<v Speaker 3>know Levis got hurt, but like these young guys go

0:24:58.560 --> 0:24:59.960
<v Speaker 3>get a month away from being.

0:24:59.840 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 2>A watch somebody else.

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Just run the offense, get the weight off your back,

0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:08.359
<v Speaker 3>and now try it again. At twenty four? Is Bryce

0:25:08.359 --> 0:25:10.400
<v Speaker 3>Young up three spots? Of Levis have to do to

0:25:10.440 --> 0:25:13.560
<v Speaker 3>not be in the quarterback market, considering where they going to,

0:25:15.320 --> 0:25:18.160
<v Speaker 3>he'd have to play better than he did last week. Yeah, Yeah,

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:19.400
<v Speaker 3>you'd have to keep improving.

0:25:19.600 --> 0:25:21.800
<v Speaker 2>You'd have to continue to do that and yeah.

0:25:21.760 --> 0:25:22.719
<v Speaker 3>And show me a little more.

0:25:23.160 --> 0:25:26.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but Bryce Young number twenty four, up three spots.

0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:30.560
<v Speaker 2>He didn't. The numbers weren't great last week. But he

0:25:30.600 --> 0:25:33.640
<v Speaker 2>also didn't turn the ball over. It looks like he belongs. Yeah,

0:25:33.640 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean he looks taking better care of the football.

0:25:36.080 --> 0:25:38.240
<v Speaker 2>He's making throws that are anticipation.

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:42.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just to do the little things about him,

0:25:42.680 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 3>which I bet we see more and more is it's

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:47.359
<v Speaker 3>just the Mahomes effect. I grew up watching Mahomes. I'm

0:25:47.359 --> 0:25:49.800
<v Speaker 3>gonna do this with them. My feet aren't say but

0:25:49.880 --> 0:25:51.560
<v Speaker 3>he's not picking strong enough to do that, you know,

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 3>like just play in rhythm.

0:25:53.560 --> 0:25:55.480
<v Speaker 2>And sometimes you get away with that stuff in college.

0:25:55.480 --> 0:25:57.040
<v Speaker 2>You're not going to get away with it. That Bama

0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Zoe line. Yeah, at twenty three up three spots is

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Drake May.

0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:04.119
<v Speaker 3>I'm a fan. I mean, he's gonna take a beating.

0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:07.439
<v Speaker 3>His line's terrible, his receivers are terrible, but he's not

0:26:07.480 --> 0:26:09.800
<v Speaker 3>the problem.

0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:12.800
<v Speaker 2>At twenty two up a spot bo Nicks.

0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:17.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and if you're that's a success considering where you

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:21.000
<v Speaker 3>drafted him. If you told Sean Payton and their GM

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:24.919
<v Speaker 3>that in November he would be the twenty second best starter,

0:26:25.040 --> 0:26:26.080
<v Speaker 3>he'd be like, Okay.

0:26:26.040 --> 0:26:29.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it says more about these where we're at

0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 2>in the NFL.

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:32.199
<v Speaker 3>All the dudes behind him, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean

0:26:32.280 --> 0:26:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Joe Flacco's still on the list, for God's sakes, and

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:39.200
<v Speaker 3>like Dak Prescott isn't. Yeah, you know right, So yeah,

0:26:39.680 --> 0:26:50.560
<v Speaker 3>twenty one holding steady Aaron Rodgers. That's correct. He is bad. Yeah,

0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:54.200
<v Speaker 3>it seems to be getting worse. Yeah, there's five or six.

0:26:54.480 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, I remember those throws.

0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:00.399
<v Speaker 2>But like, if you went to Indianapolis right now and

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:03.120
<v Speaker 2>said we will trade you Aaron Rodgers for the rest

0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:05.520
<v Speaker 2>of this season where he can go ahead and play

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:08.960
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Richardson, I'd roll with richards I think they would too.

0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:10.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not saying to give you a

0:27:10.400 --> 0:27:14.760
<v Speaker 3>better chance to win on Sunday, but that's door number two.

0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:16.720
<v Speaker 3>I'll take door number two, you know. Yeah. I don't

0:27:16.720 --> 0:27:18.159
<v Speaker 3>think Rodgers will be in a NFL next year. I

0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:19.920
<v Speaker 3>don't think he will either think he's done. I bet

0:27:19.960 --> 0:27:22.560
<v Speaker 3>he watches his tape and be like, I'm not what

0:27:22.600 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 3>I used to be. Yeah, and I hurt on Monday

0:27:26.520 --> 0:27:27.960
<v Speaker 3>a lot, and I got a lot of stuff I

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 3>want to do. Yeah, and I'm busy. Yeah, and then

0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:33.360
<v Speaker 3>that leaves the Jets insurable.

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:40.159
<v Speaker 2>And trouble at twenty up five spots. Derek Carr okay,

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Derek Carr is now ahead of Aaron Rodgers.

0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. The whole key with him is if he's under

0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:47.359
<v Speaker 3>a lot of pressure, it's going to be bad. Yeah,

0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:50.360
<v Speaker 3>heavy pass rush is bad. But if he can sit

0:27:50.400 --> 0:27:53.159
<v Speaker 3>there and survey the field, he'll pick you up. Part Yeah.

0:27:53.359 --> 0:27:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah at nineteen he didn't even played last week down

0:27:58.520 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 2>three spots, Jordan Love, He's not.

0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Going to go any lower than that. That's way too low. Yeah,

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:06.640
<v Speaker 3>way too low. I mean, he hasn't played great through

0:28:06.640 --> 0:28:11.320
<v Speaker 3>his injury, but I wouldn't hold that against him.

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:15.840
<v Speaker 2>At eighteen, only up one spot. Russell Wilson, he's playing

0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:16.439
<v Speaker 2>better than that.

0:28:16.560 --> 0:28:20.840
<v Speaker 3>He's playing better than that. Yes, I understand small sample

0:28:20.960 --> 0:28:23.719
<v Speaker 3>size and you can use that as a not as

0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:27.320
<v Speaker 3>a crotch. But I love Matthew Stafford. But Russell Wilson's

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:28.239
<v Speaker 3>playing better than him right now.

0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:30.640
<v Speaker 2>He's definitely playing better than the next guy and several

0:28:30.720 --> 0:28:33.280
<v Speaker 2>up here there right because it's seventeen down three spots.

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:37.760
<v Speaker 2>Is Geno Smith. Russell Wilson's playing better than Geno Smith? Yeah,

0:28:37.760 --> 0:28:43.360
<v Speaker 2>he is, without question. At sixteen. He was a big

0:28:43.440 --> 0:28:45.600
<v Speaker 2>riser last week and now he is the big follower

0:28:45.680 --> 0:28:48.320
<v Speaker 2>this week, down ten spots, Matthew Stafford.

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:50.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is a bad taste in my mouth. In

0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:52.120
<v Speaker 3>last week, I thought he played poorly, missed a lot

0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:55.280
<v Speaker 3>of throws, a lot of throws, and I you know,

0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:57.840
<v Speaker 3>how's his body feeling at the moment. The line didn't

0:28:57.840 --> 0:29:00.640
<v Speaker 3>help him all that much, helping.

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:05.640
<v Speaker 2>All at fifteen up three spots to Attago Vi Loa.

0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:08.880
<v Speaker 3>I think he looks fine. He looks like himself. The

0:29:08.920 --> 0:29:12.520
<v Speaker 3>offense hasn't been putting forty or sixty on people, but

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:16.360
<v Speaker 3>ball comes out on time, and I think he's the

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:18.480
<v Speaker 3>offense is rounding in the shape. Would you rather have

0:29:18.560 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 3>Tua or Russell Wilson right now? Wilson, I think he's

0:29:22.920 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 3>better above a neck. I think so too. Yeah. Plus

0:29:26.120 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 3>he does so different.

0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he does what this team wants him to do. Hey,

0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:32.040
<v Speaker 2>let's hit some deep balls.

0:29:32.160 --> 0:29:35.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean Miami would say to Yeah, you know,

0:29:35.480 --> 0:29:37.080
<v Speaker 3>Steelers would say Wilson.

0:29:38.320 --> 0:29:43.640
<v Speaker 2>At fourteen, down four spots, Sam Darnold, I'd be lower.

0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:46.640
<v Speaker 2>I can't have Jordan Love be Love.

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:51.560
<v Speaker 3>And Wilson and even Stafford. Yeah, I think he'd be

0:29:51.600 --> 0:29:52.560
<v Speaker 3>more around eighteen.

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's up to ten ten interceptions now and he

0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:57.120
<v Speaker 2>has six fumbles in nine games.

0:29:56.800 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 3>And his good moments were quite a while ago.

0:29:59.720 --> 0:30:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and he's got Justin Jefferson and now Hawkinson. It's

0:30:04.320 --> 0:30:06.920
<v Speaker 2>not a bad there's no right like a great scheme.

0:30:07.120 --> 0:30:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that's yeah.

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Losing your left tackle can't affect you that much.

0:30:13.160 --> 0:30:15.240
<v Speaker 3>No, No, because he got a lot of stuff around you.

0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:21.360
<v Speaker 2>Still At thirteen up two spots, Jalen Hurts, Yeah, I think.

0:30:21.160 --> 0:30:25.320
<v Speaker 3>He's gradually moving up. I'm not a huge believer, but

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:26.920
<v Speaker 3>I think he's played his best football time.

0:30:27.440 --> 0:30:30.320
<v Speaker 2>So he's completing almost seventy percent of his pastes. Yeah,

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:34.080
<v Speaker 2>and the running is I mean it's great. Yeah, the

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:36.480
<v Speaker 2>Toush pushes. I mean I could do the Toush push,

0:30:36.520 --> 0:30:37.640
<v Speaker 2>but yeah, I wouldn't like it.

0:30:40.120 --> 0:30:40.239
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:30:40.680 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>At twelve up a spot, Kirk Cousins.

0:30:44.920 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 3>There's guys you mentioned I'd rather not play against than him. Yeah,

0:30:48.960 --> 0:30:51.560
<v Speaker 3>Stafford Love, you know, no doubt, would you rather play

0:30:51.560 --> 0:30:59.680
<v Speaker 3>against Cousins or Russell Wilson. Probably Cousins. I know where

0:30:59.680 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 3>he's gonna be at.

0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:03.720
<v Speaker 2>Like I go back to that, it was an eleven

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:08.200
<v Speaker 2>yard completion that Wilson had to Calvin Austin. It was

0:31:08.200 --> 0:31:11.040
<v Speaker 2>on second and fifteen and he got eleven of it,

0:31:11.120 --> 0:31:14.200
<v Speaker 2>back runs to his runs to his left, comes all

0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:16.560
<v Speaker 2>the way back around to his right, and throws it

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 2>across his body to Like that looked like vintage Russell Wilson.

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, like I think cousins to me, the pros would

0:31:24.760 --> 0:31:27.240
<v Speaker 3>be middle of field passing. Yeah, you know that kind

0:31:27.280 --> 0:31:29.800
<v Speaker 3>of stuff. They're both good above the nect.

0:31:29.600 --> 0:31:32.000
<v Speaker 2>But you know exactly where he's gonna be, Like it's

0:31:32.120 --> 0:31:32.840
<v Speaker 2>there's the spot.

0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, he's a little too high on there for

0:31:35.160 --> 0:31:39.080
<v Speaker 3>me and all those guys. Like if we were drafting guys,

0:31:39.960 --> 0:31:43.320
<v Speaker 3>he'd end up being lower than that. Yeah, Like like

0:31:43.400 --> 0:31:44.960
<v Speaker 3>I quick take him.

0:31:45.280 --> 0:31:47.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean he was still I picked him up two

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:48.840
<v Speaker 2>weeks ago in our fantasy league and then I caught

0:31:48.880 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 2>him loose again when love's with love coming.

0:31:50.640 --> 0:31:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Back, Like, yeah, he's fine, Okay, Yeah, get you through

0:31:54.240 --> 0:32:01.320
<v Speaker 3>this stretch. Eleven up a spot is CJ. Stroud. Yeah.

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 3>Ten second, you're growing pains. But I mean he's been

0:32:03.840 --> 0:32:04.280
<v Speaker 3>really good.

0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 2>The big riser this week, up seven spots, Kyler Murray,

0:32:09.880 --> 0:32:10.560
<v Speaker 2>he's played well.

0:32:10.760 --> 0:32:13.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm a fan. I think it's a good offense

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:16.400
<v Speaker 3>that the team as a hole is clicking.

0:32:18.600 --> 0:32:22.760
<v Speaker 2>Nine down a spot. Baker Mayfield, Yeah, I'm.

0:32:22.640 --> 0:32:24.160
<v Speaker 3>Not gonna say he's gonna turn into a pumpkin. I

0:32:24.160 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 3>think he's going to be a starter for the next

0:32:26.160 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 3>five years, but I don't know. He's not a top

0:32:29.160 --> 0:32:31.640
<v Speaker 3>ten guy for me, even though there's too many turnover

0:32:31.680 --> 0:32:34.040
<v Speaker 3>worthy plays. Yeah, there was a lot of good this year,

0:32:34.240 --> 0:32:36.560
<v Speaker 3>and he's not playing with great dudes at the moment,

0:32:37.560 --> 0:32:39.240
<v Speaker 3>but I don't have a high trust factor.

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, nine interceptions and seven fumbles is too many total rep.

0:32:46.200 --> 0:32:50.280
<v Speaker 3>At eight up three spots, Rock Party. It's amazing how

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:51.920
<v Speaker 3>he gets all the you know, all the guys get

0:32:51.960 --> 0:32:53.720
<v Speaker 3>back on the field and all of a sudden, Rock

0:32:53.720 --> 0:32:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Party is really good again. The one shocking thing about

0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 3>that team is they're like bottom a league in red

0:32:58.480 --> 0:33:01.640
<v Speaker 3>zone offense. They're never at the bottom league in red zone.

0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:04.280
<v Speaker 2>Off Yeah, you know, well McCaffrey getting back shore has

0:33:04.480 --> 0:33:05.200
<v Speaker 2>definitely helped that.

0:33:05.320 --> 0:33:08.040
<v Speaker 3>No question. He scores a million a million touchdowns.

0:33:07.840 --> 0:33:12.520
<v Speaker 2>At seven holding steady Jadeen Daniels, I wouldn't.

0:33:12.200 --> 0:33:14.680
<v Speaker 3>Ding them too much for last week. Yeah, it wasn't

0:33:14.680 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 3>his best game. The Steelers made him look average. Yeah yeah, Yeah,

0:33:19.560 --> 0:33:21.880
<v Speaker 3>he still had a couple of wild throws, but he

0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 3>looked average. Yeah. If he looks like that again the night,

0:33:25.160 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 3>I would move him down to eleven. You know, at

0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 3>six down a spot you had to ding him for

0:33:30.840 --> 0:33:36.160
<v Speaker 3>last week Jared Goff. Yeah, he's a certain type of quarterback,

0:33:36.160 --> 0:33:40.720
<v Speaker 3>and when it's good, he's phenomenal. I mean, frankly, I'd

0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 3>rather play against Gough than Love at five up four spots,

0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:48.880
<v Speaker 3>justin Herbert. He's really on fire right now. Yeah, yep,

0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:51.520
<v Speaker 3>that's exactly where I put him. We know the top

0:33:51.560 --> 0:33:54.840
<v Speaker 3>four are and Herbert would be my five. At four

0:33:55.560 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 3>down a spot is Josh Allen, Okay, I mean the

0:34:00.840 --> 0:34:03.920
<v Speaker 3>way that you're never gonna put Mahomes at four. I

0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:08.520
<v Speaker 3>know that he's not one lately, somebody asked me four

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:11.200
<v Speaker 3>out of the I guess that is what it comes

0:34:11.239 --> 0:34:14.120
<v Speaker 3>down to. At three down a spot is Mahomes, Okay,

0:34:14.160 --> 0:34:15.520
<v Speaker 3>I mean he's having the worst year of the four.

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:19.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Burrow is two up two spots and number one

0:34:19.640 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 2>is Lamar.

0:34:20.960 --> 0:34:24.080
<v Speaker 3>I get it. They're having the best two seasons. Yeah,

0:34:24.320 --> 0:34:27.480
<v Speaker 3>and they're not bad. I mean, it's not like insane

0:34:27.520 --> 0:34:29.040
<v Speaker 3>to put them as the best quarterback in the league.

0:34:29.160 --> 0:34:31.479
<v Speaker 3>It's not, no. I mean they're both playing really well,

0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:35.239
<v Speaker 3>really well. Yeah, I like your burrow for MVP conversation.

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:37.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, they got to get back into playoff contention

0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:39.200
<v Speaker 2>to happen, like they got to.

0:34:39.360 --> 0:34:40.400
<v Speaker 3>It's not going to happen.

0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:42.160
<v Speaker 2>They have to beat the Chargers this week.

0:34:42.680 --> 0:34:45.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and that might be an alleging game. You can't

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:47.760
<v Speaker 3>lose another AFC game, yeah, because they would have seven

0:34:47.800 --> 0:34:49.839
<v Speaker 3>then now they don't play the Ravens again, and that's

0:34:49.840 --> 0:34:51.880
<v Speaker 3>one of the few games they don't have. But massive quarterback,

0:34:51.920 --> 0:34:54.279
<v Speaker 3>they're not going to sweep to Steelers. Probably not. No,

0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:56.960
<v Speaker 3>I bet they win three games in the division. Yeah,

0:34:57.680 --> 0:35:00.239
<v Speaker 3>so I know they have a big time I'm up

0:35:00.280 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 3>heel client.

0:35:00.920 --> 0:35:03.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so if they lose this one, that might be

0:35:03.719 --> 0:35:06.160
<v Speaker 2>it be time to start breaking into golf bags and

0:35:06.280 --> 0:35:08.520
<v Speaker 2>figuring out where you're going on vacation, which.

0:35:08.280 --> 0:35:11.680
<v Speaker 3>Means Week eighteen might be an easier opponent.

0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:14.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, they'll still want to beat the Steelers if it

0:35:14.480 --> 0:35:20.880
<v Speaker 2>means something to the Steelers. Yeah, But likewise, if the Steelers,

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:23.000
<v Speaker 2>if the Steelers won't talk about this when we come back,

0:35:23.520 --> 0:35:27.160
<v Speaker 2>let's do that. That was Nick Shook's power rankings on

0:35:27.200 --> 0:35:29.880
<v Speaker 2>their Power Index for the quarterbacks this week. Russell Wilson

0:35:29.880 --> 0:35:33.160
<v Speaker 2>moves up a spot. He should be moving more rapidly.

0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:33.640
<v Speaker 3>He should be.

0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I think there's still some people out there who are

0:35:35.400 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 2>still here in the echoes of the Russell Wilson bad

0:35:37.960 --> 0:35:39.279
<v Speaker 2>teammate blah blah blah like.

0:35:41.200 --> 0:35:43.399
<v Speaker 3>He also is a pretty decent track record in this league.

0:35:43.719 --> 0:35:47.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, if you remember back when we were looking at

0:35:47.840 --> 0:35:51.439
<v Speaker 2>these three four years ago, he was probably a little

0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:53.799
<v Speaker 2>overrated and it took him a while to move him down.

0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:56.359
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, as to how he was playing then, he's

0:35:56.360 --> 0:35:58.480
<v Speaker 2>playing much better now and I want to talk about

0:35:58.480 --> 0:36:00.719
<v Speaker 2>why and then what that means. We'll do that when

0:36:00.719 --> 0:36:03.040
<v Speaker 2>we come back. He's Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lolli. You're

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:06.280
<v Speaker 2>listening to the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network.

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:13.719
<v Speaker 1>At least he's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

0:36:13.760 --> 0:36:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

0:36:16.719 --> 0:36:19.880
<v Speaker 1>Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

0:36:22.640 --> 0:36:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back. I'm Dale Lolli.

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:27.400
<v Speaker 2>He is the Matt Williamson and I do finally have

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:32.640
<v Speaker 2>the Ravens injury report here, all right, Lamar Jackson did

0:36:32.680 --> 0:36:34.800
<v Speaker 2>not practice today, but that was he was limited. I

0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:38.520
<v Speaker 2>should say that was considered a rest day.

0:36:38.600 --> 0:36:42.240
<v Speaker 3>But I think there's something going on there's something happening

0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 3>there with him because you're coming off ten days. Yeah,

0:36:46.640 --> 0:36:48.839
<v Speaker 3>there's no reason to what's he resting from. And we've

0:36:48.840 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 3>talked about this week, I mean two weeks ago, he

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:54.040
<v Speaker 3>didn't run much at all. You know, he's been bothering him.

0:36:55.160 --> 0:36:57.080
<v Speaker 3>Arball is not afraid to play with that a little bit.

0:36:57.400 --> 0:36:59.719
<v Speaker 3>I mean I think he's gonna play. But yeah.

0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:03.760
<v Speaker 2>A Malette added to the injury report with a calf

0:37:03.840 --> 0:37:09.080
<v Speaker 2>issue as limited. We mentioned that Kyle Hamilton was back. Well,

0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:11.480
<v Speaker 2>he's listed as limited. Who knows what he did, so,

0:37:11.520 --> 0:37:13.960
<v Speaker 2>who knows. I could have been working with the trainers

0:37:14.000 --> 0:37:18.080
<v Speaker 2>on the side. Isaiah Likely was a full participant today.

0:37:18.080 --> 0:37:23.800
<v Speaker 2>He was limited yesterday. Travis Jones added to the injury

0:37:23.800 --> 0:37:25.719
<v Speaker 2>report as limited with an ankle issue.

0:37:25.719 --> 0:37:27.120
<v Speaker 3>We were talking about him in the first hour. I

0:37:27.480 --> 0:37:29.480
<v Speaker 3>like him quite a bit. He's a big body that

0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:33.319
<v Speaker 3>can move active. Yeah, I mean somebody like that. I

0:37:33.480 --> 0:37:36.560
<v Speaker 3>could see the Steelers going after as a nose. Yeah.

0:37:36.719 --> 0:37:40.320
<v Speaker 3>So interesting. They're not quite as healthy as they appeared

0:37:40.320 --> 0:37:43.799
<v Speaker 3>to be. As soon as what's going on with Hamilton, Yeah,

0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:46.480
<v Speaker 3>but I guess they're looking at it. Probably good news. Unlikely,

0:37:46.560 --> 0:37:48.080
<v Speaker 3>you know, he's the guy who's been out that sounds

0:37:48.120 --> 0:37:50.120
<v Speaker 3>like he's coming back. Yeah. I don't know how much

0:37:50.120 --> 0:37:54.440
<v Speaker 3>he'll play in this one though, because you mentioned before Kohler,

0:37:54.480 --> 0:37:56.400
<v Speaker 3>I think needs to be out there more than you think,

0:37:57.040 --> 0:37:59.839
<v Speaker 3>and so does and or racard Man. One of those

0:37:59.880 --> 0:38:01.400
<v Speaker 3>two guys has to be on the field all the

0:38:01.440 --> 0:38:04.080
<v Speaker 3>time to help a lot. Yeah. So I don't think

0:38:04.080 --> 0:38:06.520
<v Speaker 3>you want Henry even being the chipper all that much.

0:38:06.960 --> 0:38:10.800
<v Speaker 3>And if you want a flat out double yeah, yeah.

0:38:10.840 --> 0:38:13.839
<v Speaker 2>So, and Henry's not out there on third downs no.

0:38:14.000 --> 0:38:17.200
<v Speaker 3>Ever, I wanted to bring this up too. I do

0:38:17.280 --> 0:38:19.000
<v Speaker 3>think we might see a little bit more of Mitchell.

0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:21.840
<v Speaker 3>I guess Harball's been talking him up a little bit.

0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:24.279
<v Speaker 2>That that could be playing some games like that could be.

0:38:24.280 --> 0:38:28.359
<v Speaker 2>Are you really going to take Derrick Henry off the field? Yeah,

0:38:28.920 --> 0:38:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Mitchell out there.

0:38:30.080 --> 0:38:31.839
<v Speaker 3>When Hill's out there, they throw them the ball high

0:38:31.880 --> 0:38:33.839
<v Speaker 3>percent of the time. Yeah. And Henry doesn't get anything.

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:36.000
<v Speaker 2>He's not much of he's ever only three point three

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:38.160
<v Speaker 2>point two yards per carry Hill Yeah yeah.

0:38:38.239 --> 0:38:40.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's not a runner, No, he's not. But he'll

0:38:40.400 --> 0:38:45.839
<v Speaker 3>catch the football. So, Matt, if the Steelers are if

0:38:45.840 --> 0:38:51.319
<v Speaker 3>they win this game Sunday, yeah.

0:38:50.040 --> 0:38:52.920
<v Speaker 2>They would effectively take a two game.

0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:54.560
<v Speaker 3>Lead in the division.

0:38:56.840 --> 0:38:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Would they then vault into being the favorite to win the.

0:38:59.800 --> 0:39:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Divis I would think so. I mean, like you're talking

0:39:02.960 --> 0:39:05.960
<v Speaker 3>like Cynthia and the mathematicians and d A people and

0:39:06.000 --> 0:39:09.840
<v Speaker 3>all those things. Yeah, I mean division loss hurts bad

0:39:09.960 --> 0:39:11.799
<v Speaker 3>because it also hurts your conference stuff. No, I guess

0:39:11.840 --> 0:39:13.640
<v Speaker 3>the words talk about division. The key would be that.

0:39:13.600 --> 0:39:16.799
<v Speaker 2>Would be a second division loss for Baltimore.

0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:20.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, right exactly. I like the chances if they get

0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:23.560
<v Speaker 3>this win. I like the chances of the Steelers going

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:26.800
<v Speaker 3>four and two in the division. Yeah, so yeah, I

0:39:26.840 --> 0:39:30.240
<v Speaker 3>would think they'd make them the mathematical favorites, and probably

0:39:30.880 --> 0:39:32.000
<v Speaker 3>I bet to be the favorite.

0:39:32.920 --> 0:39:36.200
<v Speaker 2>The other interesting thing about it is if Buffalo's able

0:39:36.239 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 2>to beat Kansas City this weekend, then all of a sudden,

0:39:40.320 --> 0:39:43.480
<v Speaker 2>your game out of first place overall in the conference.

0:39:43.600 --> 0:39:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Do we want that?

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to be the number one seed in

0:39:46.960 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 2>the conference?

0:39:47.520 --> 0:39:51.719
<v Speaker 3>Why not? Yeah? It's not like Kansas City is just

0:39:51.719 --> 0:39:53.759
<v Speaker 3>going to run away from the world, right, Like is

0:39:53.760 --> 0:39:56.640
<v Speaker 3>Baltimore rooting for that too? It's Houston rooting for Buffalo

0:39:56.680 --> 0:40:01.120
<v Speaker 3>to Winston's got four losses now, so I think they're

0:40:01.120 --> 0:40:04.400
<v Speaker 3>probably the four almost no matter what? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,

0:40:04.600 --> 0:40:06.040
<v Speaker 3>I guess it depends. Also, who do you want to

0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:06.440
<v Speaker 3>play for?

0:40:06.520 --> 0:40:11.240
<v Speaker 2>Baltimore doesn't matter because they're effectively right now four games

0:40:11.239 --> 0:40:14.000
<v Speaker 2>behind Kansas City because Kansas City has the tie breaker

0:40:14.040 --> 0:40:16.600
<v Speaker 2>on them and they have three losses. They can't finish

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:18.680
<v Speaker 2>in a tie with Kansas City when the divis whin

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:21.520
<v Speaker 2>the AFC North and finish as the number one seed.

0:40:21.960 --> 0:40:24.000
<v Speaker 2>That's what that that loss in the Oak did to them.

0:40:24.120 --> 0:40:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah, yeah, but the Steelers will get an opportunity

0:40:26.800 --> 0:40:29.200
<v Speaker 2>to hand Kansas City another lost league.

0:40:30.200 --> 0:40:31.719
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, I think you do want Buffalo to way?

0:40:31.800 --> 0:40:34.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah yeah, why not? Yeah, you add another one to

0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:37.560
<v Speaker 3>the Kansas City loss list potentially.

0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:41.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, yeah, because right now Buffalo's two losses are

0:40:41.840 --> 0:40:43.719
<v Speaker 2>to Baltimore and Houston.

0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:49.040
<v Speaker 3>So I think we would all pick Houston. But Houston, Buffalo,

0:40:49.160 --> 0:40:52.440
<v Speaker 3>Kansas City? Where do you least want to play in

0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:57.000
<v Speaker 3>the playoffs? Round two? Because if you end up the

0:40:57.080 --> 0:41:03.399
<v Speaker 3>five and you beat Houston and all the favorites win,

0:41:03.719 --> 0:41:05.719
<v Speaker 3>then you got to go to one, right which I

0:41:05.760 --> 0:41:08.920
<v Speaker 3>would think Kansas City is still my last choice. No,

0:41:09.000 --> 0:41:10.719
<v Speaker 3>I don't think it's my last choice, but I would

0:41:10.920 --> 0:41:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Buffalo is the place I don't want to go play. Okay,

0:41:12.600 --> 0:41:15.839
<v Speaker 3>Buffalo's the close second. I'd rather go to Baltimore. I'd

0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:16.680
<v Speaker 3>rather go to Houston.

0:41:19.120 --> 0:41:24.479
<v Speaker 2>Buffalo struggles stopping the run though, Like yeah, you know again,

0:41:24.520 --> 0:41:26.839
<v Speaker 2>there's so much football left to be played here that

0:41:26.880 --> 0:41:30.200
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, you know, how healthy are they?

0:41:30.360 --> 0:41:34.040
<v Speaker 3>What? What's going? Of course, right his Cooper, you know,

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:35.759
<v Speaker 3>is he playing? Is he not playing? I don't know,

0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:37.960
<v Speaker 3>But this is a huge game if we were just

0:41:38.000 --> 0:41:41.720
<v Speaker 3>looking at from a bill's chief perspective, Hosting the AFC

0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:44.680
<v Speaker 3>championship game against that team is a heck a lot

0:41:44.719 --> 0:41:47.520
<v Speaker 3>better than on the road. Absolutely, Absolutely, there's some monster

0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:49.279
<v Speaker 3>games in the in the league this week. It's like

0:41:49.400 --> 0:41:51.480
<v Speaker 3>Colts Patriots in the day. You know, Yeah, I don't know.

0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:53.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean starting with tonight, you got you got seven

0:41:53.560 --> 0:41:56.560
<v Speaker 3>and three against seven and two. You've got there's a

0:41:56.640 --> 0:41:57.520
<v Speaker 3>lot of division games.

0:41:57.600 --> 0:41:59.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got seven and three against seven and two

0:41:59.719 --> 0:42:03.480
<v Speaker 2>here in Pittsburgh, you get the Buffalo game with Kansas City.

0:42:03.480 --> 0:42:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, those are three massive games in the af

0:42:05.840 --> 0:42:11.720
<v Speaker 2>In the NFL, Seattle's playing the Rams save a division

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:13.880
<v Speaker 2>game they're playing, aren't they playing San Francisco.

0:42:14.239 --> 0:42:17.719
<v Speaker 3>Yes, Okay, that's a huge game in that division too. Yeah,

0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:20.000
<v Speaker 3>like if Seattle loses that one, they start to get

0:42:20.000 --> 0:42:23.239
<v Speaker 3>into the rams land of really looking up at the

0:42:23.280 --> 0:42:26.120
<v Speaker 3>hot teams. And then there was one other game I thought,

0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:30.240
<v Speaker 3>oh you mentioned too, Cincinnati La. Yeah, I mean that's

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:34.279
<v Speaker 3>darn near an elimination game for the Bengals. Yeah, so,

0:42:34.360 --> 0:42:36.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean there's some the layoff picture could look a

0:42:36.360 --> 0:42:37.560
<v Speaker 3>lot different on Tuesday.

0:42:38.000 --> 0:42:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, yeah, I mean even Falcons Broncos.

0:42:41.320 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't know if anyone can catch Atlanta though

0:42:44.560 --> 0:42:45.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't I don't.

0:42:45.080 --> 0:42:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Know if they can either. But if they lose that one,

0:42:46.920 --> 0:42:48.759
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden, there's six and five on the

0:42:49.040 --> 0:42:50.960
<v Speaker 2>on the other side of that after the bye, if

0:42:50.960 --> 0:42:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the Broncos lose that game, they're five and.

0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:55.440
<v Speaker 3>Six, say I think I mean the Broncos, Yeah, Atlanta, And.

0:42:55.440 --> 0:42:57.399
<v Speaker 2>Let's say that that's let's say the Jets beat the Colts,

0:42:57.400 --> 0:43:00.880
<v Speaker 2>so all of a sudden, they're four and seven, you know,

0:43:00.960 --> 0:43:01.839
<v Speaker 2>so they're back in it.

0:43:02.239 --> 0:43:04.640
<v Speaker 3>Or if I'm Miami, I'm kicking myself, like, if you

0:43:04.640 --> 0:43:07.239
<v Speaker 3>could have won one of these last two, you can

0:43:07.280 --> 0:43:09.160
<v Speaker 3>at least have a path. Yeah, you know, with two

0:43:09.200 --> 0:43:15.279
<v Speaker 3>a back. Well they did win one of them. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, no,

0:43:15.400 --> 0:43:18.280
<v Speaker 3>that's not They're not dead then. I mean if since

0:43:18.280 --> 0:43:23.239
<v Speaker 3>he loses, Denver loses, and Miami wins, they're back in

0:43:23.280 --> 0:43:26.360
<v Speaker 3>the hunt. Yeah, I guess the Jets conceivably could be.

0:43:26.440 --> 0:43:28.279
<v Speaker 2>The Dolphins have the Raiders this week. I mean, they

0:43:28.280 --> 0:43:29.239
<v Speaker 2>should win that game.

0:43:29.320 --> 0:43:30.120
<v Speaker 3>Bet they win that game.

0:43:31.960 --> 0:43:34.040
<v Speaker 2>Then again, the Raiders beat the Ravens.

0:43:35.320 --> 0:43:38.920
<v Speaker 3>They're one of the dreadful teams though. Yeah, I know, people.

0:43:39.760 --> 0:43:43.279
<v Speaker 3>One last thing here, Yeah, you talk about the Mike

0:43:43.320 --> 0:43:43.960
<v Speaker 3>Tomlin game.

0:43:44.000 --> 0:43:49.919
<v Speaker 2>You lose these Mike Tomlin games. Here's the thing. Under

0:43:49.960 --> 0:43:53.400
<v Speaker 2>Tomlin as an underdog, the Steelers are fifty eight thirty

0:43:53.400 --> 0:43:57.040
<v Speaker 2>two and three as an underdog against against the spread.

0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:59.239
<v Speaker 3>Against the spread, So they keep the games close and

0:43:59.440 --> 0:44:01.960
<v Speaker 3>minimum or win it or win them. He actually they

0:44:02.040 --> 0:44:02.759
<v Speaker 3>win a lot of those.

0:44:02.800 --> 0:44:06.000
<v Speaker 2>He has a winning record as an underdog regardless of

0:44:06.040 --> 0:44:07.000
<v Speaker 2>where it's play at.

0:44:06.920 --> 0:44:08.960
<v Speaker 3>Because some of those are probably ten point games when

0:44:08.960 --> 0:44:10.839
<v Speaker 3>you have doc or I mean, like they're not all

0:44:10.920 --> 0:44:13.480
<v Speaker 3>one and a half or you know, small lines.

0:44:13.600 --> 0:44:16.960
<v Speaker 2>They've won their past five regular season games outright as

0:44:16.960 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 2>an underdog.

0:44:18.000 --> 0:44:19.520
<v Speaker 3>Wow, and they're.

0:44:19.400 --> 0:44:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Eighteen and ten in Tomlin's career outright as a home underdog.

0:44:23.960 --> 0:44:27.200
<v Speaker 3>Eighteen and ten as a home dog, which is this week, folks.

0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:29.600
<v Speaker 2>And they've already won one of these earlier this year

0:44:29.600 --> 0:44:30.480
<v Speaker 2>when they beat the Jets.

0:44:30.719 --> 0:44:33.200
<v Speaker 3>I wonder how manyaly, I wonder how many those twenty

0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:36.560
<v Speaker 3>eight games were divisional. I don't know, I mean, I know,

0:44:36.600 --> 0:44:39.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm just kidding. There's gonna be a pretty decent percentage.

0:44:39.280 --> 0:44:42.279
<v Speaker 3>I mean, six out of seventeen games. I don't know

0:44:42.280 --> 0:44:43.880
<v Speaker 3>if they I mean, because most of the time it

0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:48.040
<v Speaker 3>would always be almost always be Baltimore, almost Baltimore. Well,

0:44:48.160 --> 0:44:49.600
<v Speaker 3>since he had some good teams.

0:44:49.400 --> 0:44:53.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but I don't think they'd be favored here. Yeah,

0:44:53.320 --> 0:44:56.040
<v Speaker 2>I think I think you're looking at New England, You're

0:44:56.040 --> 0:44:59.640
<v Speaker 2>looking at the City, San Francisco, Kansas City teams like that,

0:44:59.680 --> 0:45:01.640
<v Speaker 2>because you got you gotta be really good to come

0:45:01.640 --> 0:45:03.840
<v Speaker 2>to Pittsburgh and be favored. Because they've been this is

0:45:03.840 --> 0:45:08.200
<v Speaker 2>in Tomlin's career. Like, they've had a lot of good teams. Yeah,

0:45:08.239 --> 0:45:10.120
<v Speaker 2>and they've also had some eight nights in the eight

0:45:10.160 --> 0:45:12.840
<v Speaker 2>and eights. They're winning some a lot of these games.

0:45:12.680 --> 0:45:14.480
<v Speaker 3>At home, I'm sure a lot of them actually, instead

0:45:14.480 --> 0:45:16.360
<v Speaker 3>of the Vision more I think about it, are probably

0:45:17.000 --> 0:45:20.319
<v Speaker 3>against AFC first place teams from the year before that

0:45:20.400 --> 0:45:22.320
<v Speaker 3>you get because you were in first place too, or

0:45:22.520 --> 0:45:25.040
<v Speaker 3>you know what I mean, New England. Maybe it comes

0:45:25.040 --> 0:45:28.160
<v Speaker 3>to mind a lot Kansas City recently. Kansas City will

0:45:28.200 --> 0:45:29.920
<v Speaker 3>probably be favored here at Christmas, I would think so,

0:45:29.960 --> 0:45:32.600
<v Speaker 3>I would think so. Yeah, they're a dog in Buffalo.

0:45:32.640 --> 0:45:36.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the Steelers have been underdogs this already this season,

0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:39.959
<v Speaker 2>probably about half the time. They were underdogs last week

0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:41.759
<v Speaker 2>and then when that came out right now, as I said,

0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:44.840
<v Speaker 2>they've they've won their past five regular season games outright

0:45:44.880 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 2>as an underdog.

0:45:46.200 --> 0:45:48.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's crazy. They were dogs in Atlanta. I wonder

0:45:48.760 --> 0:45:50.160
<v Speaker 3>if that's the longest streak in the league.

0:45:51.440 --> 0:45:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Man, I don't know that. I bet it's it's got

0:45:53.560 --> 0:45:53.719
<v Speaker 2>to be.

0:45:53.800 --> 0:45:55.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, Vegas knows stuff.

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, So, I mean they've they've done well as

0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:00.600
<v Speaker 2>an underdog and their three point on it's not like

0:46:00.600 --> 0:46:02.400
<v Speaker 2>they are an overwhelming underdog this weekend.

0:46:02.480 --> 0:46:03.840
<v Speaker 3>That's the other thing I was going to say, which

0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:08.080
<v Speaker 3>is as impressive is I bet most of those lines

0:46:08.120 --> 0:46:11.160
<v Speaker 3>are under four that there were dogs because they've never

0:46:11.200 --> 0:46:13.400
<v Speaker 3>been terrible, right, you know, and you're in your building

0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:13.880
<v Speaker 3>and you're going to.

0:46:13.960 --> 0:46:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Find a way to win more. Almost almost two out

0:46:16.600 --> 0:46:20.200
<v Speaker 2>of three three really high percentage. So yeah, if you're

0:46:20.239 --> 0:46:24.439
<v Speaker 2>looking at something to give you a little hope this week,

0:46:24.840 --> 0:46:26.360
<v Speaker 2>that's what we're here for. There's a lot of stuff

0:46:26.360 --> 0:46:28.440
