Yes, it's taken 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 1: us eighteen long weeks to get here, but Brian Johnson, 8 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: we've got playoff football. 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 3: Lots of it, and some football weather as people like 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 3: to call it, right, Yeah. 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: You know, I think I think a lot of it's 12 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 1: being overstated. You know, I'll believe it when I see it. 13 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: This is the time of week when a lot of 14 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: times people are are suggesting way worse weather than it 15 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: turns out to be. 16 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think there's something denying the cold that's 17 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 3: gonna be in Kansas City. 18 00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: Though it'll be cold. 19 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 3: We'll get into all these games, of course, Yeah, like 20 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 3: historically cold for you know, I think of like the 21 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 3: Giants Packers game in seven, the red based Yeah, Tom 22 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 3: Coughlin game Vikings Seahawks. 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: I think is the most recent game that's in this ballpark. 24 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: That one was negative five. I believe it kickoff, and 25 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: of course Bud Grant came running out. 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 3: In Minnesota Stadium. Of course, people wondering they're plight the 27 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 3: Gopher Stadium. Yeah, we Grant yep, shorts leeves. 28 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,039 Speaker 1: Yep when they were building US Bank Stadium. So that 29 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: was that was epic for sure. Lots of games to 30 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: get through. And the way I decided to do this 31 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 1: rather than like break every date game down and completely 32 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: like FFW style, I just want to pick out sort 33 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: of key interesting angles from each one of these. It 34 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: could be for use in your DFS team. It could 35 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: be for use if you're cobbling together a playoff roster 36 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: like the full playoffs. If you're a better you could 37 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: probably use some of this for prop bets. So however 38 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: you want to play. I think this is going to 39 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: be some cool stuff to look at, Brian, and I thought, 40 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: maybe we just attack these in the order in which 41 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: they will be played this weekend. 42 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: Makes sense. 43 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: That brings us to Cleveland Houston. This is with all 44 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: the great quarterbacks that are coming up this weekend, Brian. 45 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: So like Miami, you get Tua versus Mahomes, then we 46 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: got Josh Allen, and we've got Jordan Love who might 47 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: be the third consecutive Hall of Fame quarterback for the 48 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: for the Packers at Dallas and Dak Prescott. You've got 49 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: the great quarterback situation between the Rams and the Lions. 50 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: You've got Jalen Hurts and whether or not he's you 51 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: know how hurt is he going to be? Can he 52 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: be effective? But the Cleveland Browns and the Houston Texans 53 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: Joe Flacco. 54 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 3: C J. 55 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: Stroud is my favorite game from this whole weekend. 56 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 3: The first one. I'm going to watch. The other ones 57 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 3: I don't. I'm not getting Peacock after that game. I'm 58 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 3: the I'm the Mahomes and Tua. Yeah, this is the 59 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 3: primetime game right here. 60 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: I love this game. So I want to the angle 61 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about that I'm really 62 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: interested in. Is a big game from c J. Stroud. 63 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 1: I think most of America doesn't realize how good CJ. 64 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: Stroud is. And because the Texans were never on national 65 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: television they had only noon local time starts every week 66 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: until Week eighteen when they had their win and in 67 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: game against the Colts, most of the country doesn't realize 68 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: just how good CJ. Stroud is. 69 00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 3: Brian no and like what he's really catching fire. Maybe 70 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 3: they would have flexed Houston into one of the primetime games, 71 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 3: and then he got hurt and he missed what two 72 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 3: three games. That's a road with the concussion. 73 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, but I. 74 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 3: Am he's gonna see how he handles the big lights, 75 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 3: the bright lights. 76 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 1: Even knowing our listeners are hardcore football fans, I bet 77 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: most of them don't realize Houston has won seven of 78 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: the last ten games. You know, it took him a 79 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: little while to sort of shake off several years of losing, 80 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,119 Speaker 1: right and then you know the last over the last 81 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: ten games, I get seven wins. I mean that's you know, 82 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: those are in several of the legitimate wins against good teams. 83 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: So let's talk about CJ. Stroud in particular. The Cleveland secondary. 84 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: Denzel Ward questionable, Mike Ford questionable, two important cornerbacks safety 85 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 1: Grant Delpit just got put on IR and the other 86 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: safety wants Thornhill, may not play in this game. Those 87 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,479 Speaker 1: are huge angles. And the other thing that I think 88 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: is really interesting is that you know, we all view 89 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: Cleveland as an elite defense, and they are a good defense, 90 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 1: but you know what their pass defense was elite for 91 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: the first twelve games, Let's talk about the more recent 92 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: six games. Cleveland yielding sixty one more passing yards over 93 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: the most recent six games and over the double number 94 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: of passing touchdowns two over two two point one passing 95 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: touchdowns per game over the last six Brian this pass 96 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: defense and get a load of this over those four games, 97 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,479 Speaker 1: justin fields, Davis Mills, Trevor Simeon, and Jake Browning were 98 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: among the quarterbacks who were putting up big games and 99 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: helping propel Cleveland to the to the futility stats that 100 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: I just mentioned. 101 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 3: That's gonna be a whole nother story with Stroud under 102 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 3: the safety of a dome too. You got all the 103 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: dome games. 104 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't realize that games. You're right, 105 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: I got, I got, I got. I don't have any 106 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: to deal with any weather for any of my games. No, yeah, 107 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: the uh. If I were allowed to legally bet in Minnesota, 108 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: I would be betting C. J. Stroud over one and 109 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: a half passing touchdowns. I'm not Houston scores through the air, 110 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: as anybody who rostered Damian Pierce sorry or Devin Singletary knows, 111 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 1: they don't score on the ground. This team scored seventy 112 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: five percent of their touchdowns through the air, Nico Collins, 113 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: and maybe, if you're feeling up to it, how about 114 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: a little Dalton Shultz as an angle here or for 115 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: receiving touchdown as well. I like I like those angles. 116 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: I think I think scores are coming here another reason. 117 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: And by the way, I was gonna ask, is this 118 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 3: the this might be the highest over under of the weekend. 119 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: No, it's not. No, it's uh, it's great. I think yeah, 120 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: I think it is done. I think that one's like 121 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: fifty five. Uh. 122 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 3: Everybody to guess all the Dome games of the top 123 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 3: three probably probably. 124 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: Uh, here's the other angle I want to talk. 125 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 3: And and a half. Well, we'll get to those of 126 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 3: the games later. 127 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 1: Go ahead, Sorry, Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt, I think 128 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: are going to struggle in this game. So we mentioned 129 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: Houston played it's nationally It's one nationally telbysed game last week, 130 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: and Jonathan Taylor ran through the Texans and almost single 131 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,119 Speaker 1: handedly brought the Colts to the playoffs. But Taylor couldn't 132 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: quite get there but a. It took Taylor thirty carries 133 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: in that game to get to his hundred and eighty 134 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: eight rushing yards. But more importantly, that output was a 135 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: total anomaly against a surging Houston run defense. Get a 136 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: load of this. How great the Houston run defense had 137 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: been prior to Jonathan Taylor last week in the ten games. 138 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: Prior ten games along sample size, I'd mentioned that ten 139 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: game win loss thing for Reston in the prior ten games, 140 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: Brian Houston's run defense giving up two point seven yards 141 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: per carry. That's it. Here's what some better runners than 142 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt have done against Houston recently. 143 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: Two meetings with Derrick Henry his average game twenty five 144 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: yards and one point eight yards per carry, Breese Hall 145 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: forty yards, Javonte Williams forty six yards, Travis Etn averaged 146 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: two point eight yards per carry. Joe Mixon put up 147 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: forty six yards, and two games ago when these teams met, 148 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: Jerome Ford twenty five yards, Kareem Hunt eleven yards rushing. 149 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: That's it. I believe Houston's gonna win this game. 150 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 3: They're the underdogs. 151 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: I believe they are underdogs. I believe three is point underdogs. 152 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I was wrong. Forty four and a half point 153 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: over under. It is the third highest but it's like 154 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 3: six seven points behind the other two indoor games, Dallas, 155 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 3: Green Bay Rams. 156 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: Well, it's because you know, people broadly believe this Cleveland defense. 157 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: I think the perception was set through those first twelve 158 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 1: weeks that Cleveland is a shut down defense. I'm just 159 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: here to say they haven't played that way for six weeks. 160 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 3: Yeah. I like parlaying the over with those props you mentioned, 161 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: the Stroud overs, maybe the you know, hit that over. 162 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 3: The Texans got to score some points, and they're gonna 163 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: do that through the air, like you said, most likely. 164 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Miami taking on Kansas City. 165 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, we know it's gonna be cold, negative 166 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 3: twenty wind, chill, all that stuff. Tickets are like forty 167 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 3: bucks right now. I saw. That's pretty crazy for a 168 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 3: Chiefs playoff, that really is. I doubt Taylor Swift will 169 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: be there. But these teams played this season actually in Germany. 170 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 3: If you recall back in Week nine, the pre hard 171 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: knock days for the Dolphins. 172 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: Have you been watching I've not watched the end the 173 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: season hard knocks. I watch a lot of football, Brian, 174 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: I get enough, as. 175 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 3: Do I But I don't know. I don't know he's 176 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 3: still in between the football you are. My favorite part 177 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 3: of Hard Knocks is the non football, though I hate 178 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 3: when they show the football in Hard Knocks. I like 179 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 3: all the all field stuff, but the anyway, it was 180 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 3: an ugly game Chiefs one twenty one to fourteen, and 181 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 3: that one can't probably be an ugly game in this one. 182 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 3: Kansas City four and a half point favorites over Under 183 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: a forty three and a half. We expect the weather, 184 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 3: the extreme cold, to play a role in this game. 185 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 3: On the injury front, Raheem Moster expected to make his return, 186 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 3: but Miami's defense is all sorts of banged up. Xavian 187 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: Howard has been ruled out both starting safety is questionable 188 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: to play. Miami's lost about five linebackers the last four weeks, 189 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 3: so that they're all they're all sorts of injured on 190 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 3: the on the defensive side of the ball for Miami, 191 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 3: So you know, it's really all about the cold. There's 192 00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 3: not a lot of players that really stand out in 193 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 3: this game, even though there are huge names, but guys 194 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 3: I'm fading or like Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelcey. The guy 195 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 3: I like most in this game is a DFS dark Pros. 196 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 3: Noah Gray, who's a He'll probably come coming close to 197 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: bare minimum. The Dolphins are one of eight teams to 198 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: yield at least one hundred and twenty five targets to 199 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 3: tight ends, one of five teams to allow at least 200 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 3: nine hundred yards and seven touchdowns to the position. And 201 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 3: so those are great numbers obviously for posing tight ends. 202 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: And we've seen Gray get involved. And I gotta give 203 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 3: credit to Derek Brown of Fantasy Pros for this da 204 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 3: he went in a little deeper. Since Week thirteen, Miami 205 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 3: has utilized Cover three or Cover six. Those are zone coverages. 206 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 3: You know the takeaway basically the deep play on more 207 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 3: than fifty percent of their defensive snaps. And this week twelve, 208 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 3: against these coverages, Noah Gray has a thirty percent targets 209 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 3: per route run that's third on the team and nearly 210 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 3: three yards per route run when facing Cover three or 211 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: Cover six. And those are great numbers. And I don't 212 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: know Travis Kelce is taking a step back. So Noah 213 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 3: Gray a great a dart throw there. When I talk 214 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 3: about fading guys, I think Tyreek kill is the number 215 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: one fade in a revenge game. So this is a 216 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 3: guy you know you're not gonna want to use him 217 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 3: in your one and done pools, even though you usually 218 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 3: win that team like the Dolphins, you don't expect to win. 219 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 3: You're like, oh, I want to use one of the 220 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 3: big name players. This is my only chance to use them, 221 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? A one and done game 222 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 3: where you don't use a player once in the playoffs. Ye, 223 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 3: he'll all sorts of banged up with the ankle injury. 224 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 3: The chief secondary, led by Lagerius sneed maybe the best 225 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 3: corner in the game, at least one of the best. 226 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 3: They're going to focus on him, and Kansas City as 227 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 3: a whole deploys a lot of two high safety zone looks, 228 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 3: which actually caters more to Jalen Waddle, So I have 229 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 3: to pick a receiver in this game, it's Waddle against 230 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 3: two high safety zone. Wattle actually leads Hill in targets 231 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 3: per route run, so he has more targets per oute 232 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 3: run in his coverage and yards per route run four 233 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 3: and a half, which is a lot for Waddle to 234 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: just three from Hill. So the Chiefs are not going 235 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: to want Tyreek Hill to go off in this game. 236 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: So I think they're going to do everything in their 237 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: power to take away, you know, the deeplay threat from Hill, 238 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 3: So I like Wattle more in this game. So I'm 239 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: totally out on Hill. 240 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: So you know, I'm just out of that game in 241 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: a nutshell. 242 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 3: Hopefully no one gets frost play. 243 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: Like I'm just out on the passing games. I just 244 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: think there's a point at which, if it's cold enough, 245 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: the air just comes out of the ball, and I 246 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,720 Speaker 1: would be more inclined to try to orient maybe towards 247 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: the running backs in this one. But that's that's just me, 248 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: and I think we're at that stage where it's just 249 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: it's just gonna might be one of those games where 250 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: nothing's really moving. So yeah, we'll see, we'll see. I 251 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: think you raised some really valid points about the Miami 252 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: defense being very suspect and very banged up, and you know, 253 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: but I'm doneculating that this is the game that Kansas 254 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: City turns it around, because we've been doing that for 255 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: two months. 256 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 3: I saw, you know, that Miami's got historically bad record 257 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 3: in cold weather games, and I saw how they Mike 258 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 3: McDaniel said, they got the facility, they can get it 259 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 3: down to fifty with the air conditioning. 260 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: That's it. 261 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 3: They've been practicing. We like you better be doing that 262 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 3: like basically naked, like you know, ice packs. 263 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: Me. 264 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: I don't know, it's gonna be an ugly game. 265 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: That is gonna be an ugly game. Watch remember Miami 266 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: you traveled to was it Buffalo last year? Skyler Thompson 267 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: almost won that game in cold weather. Let's let's go 268 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh Buffalo the next one up. This is also 269 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: one of yours, and this is also a weather game. 270 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:42,840 Speaker 3: Uh. 271 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: It sounds like over the totality of the weekend, there's 272 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: going to be quite a bit of snow. It's unclear 273 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,199 Speaker 1: as to how much snow Brian is actually going to 274 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: fall during game. You know, Buffalo knows all about from 275 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 1: snow removal. You know, they all all the lake effects 276 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: snow that they've they've gotten since the city was uh, 277 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: you know founded. So I don't believe the rumors that 278 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: they might move the game or anything like that. And 279 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm not and I'm not fully believing the stories that 280 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: it's going to be like a foot of snow during 281 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 1: the game or anything like that. 282 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 3: No, and then supposedly the main snow is going to 283 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 3: be on Saturday or you know overnight, so they love 284 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 3: time to clear the field and all that. So I'm 285 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: not too worried about that. It's uh, it's Buffalo. It's nothing, 286 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 3: nothing new, and this is definitely not one of the 287 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 3: sexier games on a Super wild Card weekend. From an 288 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 3: offensive standpoint, Buffalo nine and a half point favorites over 289 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 3: under a thirty five and that's basically all on the 290 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 3: Buffalo side. Right. TJ. Watt been ruled out for Pittsburgh. 291 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 3: That is huge. I mean for Pittsburgh to have a 292 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 3: chance in this game, their defense has a step up. 293 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 3: Big TJ. Watt one of the best pass rushers in 294 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 3: the NFL. So that boats well for Buffalo. Gabe Davis, 295 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 3: I'm likely to play that might be. 296 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: They've ruled them out. 297 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I wasn't expecting to go. So he's out. Uh, 298 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: so you can we can throw that. We can mitigate 299 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 3: all roller coaster ride risk, whether you're gonna get zero 300 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 3: points or thirty from from Gabe Davis. So Khalil Shakir 301 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 3: a guy who will be popular for sure. He's stepped 302 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: up after since if this has been down the last 303 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 3: game or two. Really, you know, from the Bill side, 304 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 3: I'm worried about the Bills from the perspective of best 305 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 3: ball contest, where you know there's an advancement after each round, 306 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 3: where the Bills are probably gonna win this game, but 307 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 3: they're not gonna score a lot of points. One would 308 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 3: think so a lot of best ball teams are probably 309 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 3: gonna die by that are heavily invested in the Bills 310 00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 3: even though they're gonna advance to the next round most likely, 311 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: but not gonna score a lot of points. So from 312 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 3: a from a DFS perspective, I'm gonna go with a 313 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,840 Speaker 3: Steeler as my my dark phone. It's Jalen Warren who 314 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 3: is has reverted back to the to the backup role 315 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 3: behind Najie Harris, even though it's always been a fifty 316 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 3: to fifty split. Essentially, the Bills were one of six 317 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 3: teams to allow at least eighty five catches in seven 318 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 3: hundred yards to opposing running backs. Buffalo also deploys two 319 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 3: high safety coverage at the third highest clip in the league, 320 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 3: and Mason Rudolph has targeted his running backs over forty 321 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 3: percent of the time against too high and Jalen Warren 322 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 3: is the still the preferred pass catching running back and 323 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 3: Rudolph gonna be under a lot of durest. Most likely. 324 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 3: I see him checking down to Warren a lot in 325 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 3: this game, and the condition is not being great for passing. 326 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 3: Most likely, I to see Warren as a safety blanket, 327 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 3: and he's gonna be the cheapest running back on the 328 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 3: slate that gets significant run for you, and he's gonna 329 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 3: come in at a very low ownership percentage. So he's 330 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 3: my contrariant dart throat in DFS. Really, the fade is 331 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 3: just almost anyone else in this game, even from the 332 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: Buffalo side. They're gonna need to score ten points and 333 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 3: that's like I mean, they'll they'll put the pedal to 334 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 3: the middle a little more than that, But this is 335 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 3: not a fun game. From an offensive perspective. 336 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 1: James Cook could get a lot of work. They could 337 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: see them getting ahead and then just running Cook a 338 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: bunch and and holding there. And it's hard to find 339 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: your spots with Cook, right, you got to really be 340 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: thoughtful about it. I think this could be one of them. 341 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: Let's go to the next game that that's up as 342 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: we transition to the Sunday late afternoon game, that's Green 343 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: Bay at Dallas for Jordan love some night. I think 344 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: there's some sneaky opportunity here. First of all, by the way, 345 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: is over under of rushing yards is like nine. He's 346 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: gonna run from Micah Parsons for nine on the first 347 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: drive potentially, So there's there's some opportunity for betters that way. 348 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: The uh, I want to talk about some recent passing 349 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: stats against Dallas, and I want to I'm gonna go 350 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: all the way back to week twelve, so we're gonna 351 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: have a fairly long sample size here. But I'm gonna 352 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: throw out two games. First, the Cowboys got blown out 353 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: by Buffalo and they barely passed. I think Josh Allen 354 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 1: threw like fourteen passes in the game, So I'm gonna 355 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: throw that game out. I'm throwing out Sam Howell's woeful 356 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: start last Sunday in a meeting, you know, in a 357 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: meaningless game which everybody that they were gonna get uh, 358 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: you know, everybody's gonna get fired howl those you know, 359 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: was not necessarily the intended starter. They've been starting Jacoby 360 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: him over Jacoby Brissetts. They had to blah blah blah. 361 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: So I'm throwing those out. But other than that, all 362 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: the other quarterbacks are averaging two hundred and eighty yards 363 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: against Dallas and two eighties a pretty darn good day. 364 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 1: So I feel like Jordan Love's got that in them. 365 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: It's probably Dallas is gonna score points in this game. 366 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 1: Is when we talking about that in a minute. I 367 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: think Green Bay answers with plenty of passing in particular, 368 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,199 Speaker 1: and the Dallas safeties are bad. Donovan Wilson and jay 369 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: Ron Curse have Pro Football focused coverage grades as safety 370 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: thirty three and safety one hundred and one. I didn't 371 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: think there were one hundred and one safeties in the NFL. 372 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 1: Love's been obviously way better lately, and I I really 373 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: seven of his last nine games he's had over two 374 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: hundred and eighty six yards. I think Jordan Love is 375 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,160 Speaker 1: gonna flirt with the three hundred yard mark in this one. 376 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 1: I really like him here and that like receivers. 377 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 3: Too, sorry to cut you off there, it's unlikely to happen, 378 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 3: but he still will not have his entire offense healthy 379 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 3: for one game. 380 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, not all the starting receivers. Yeah, no, I mean nobody. 381 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: You know, there are lots of cases. If you're like 382 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 1: the totality of the offense. You don't have those. That's 383 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: that's many many teams that don't have older starters. But 384 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: he hasn't even had all of his starting receivers on 385 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: the field for one game. 386 00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 3: And barely He's never had Aaron Jones and aj week one. 387 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 3: Then it's been crazier for Green May. But I'm excited 388 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 3: for this game too. It should be the over unders 389 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 3: over fifty points, so it should be a pretty entertaining one. 390 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: Let's talk about Dak Prescott for a minute. I think 391 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: sitting on a very big game. Here's the passers the 392 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 1: Packers have faced for the last five weeks. Justin fields 393 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: a half of Jaron Hall and a half of Nick Mullins, 394 00:19:53,880 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: Bryce Young, Baker Mayfield, Tommy DeVito comes Dak Prescott and 395 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: Cede Lamb and Brandon Cooks. You know, and Mayfield and Young, 396 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 1: by the way, went off on the Packers. They combined 397 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: for seven hundred yards and six touchdowns. Brian, I think 398 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: this is a big game coming for Dak Prescott. Green 399 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: Bay has got the worst set of cornerbacks in the 400 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: playoffs and maybe the whole league. Keishawn Nixon is basically 401 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: a special teams return man forced to play slot cornerbacks. 402 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 1: They don't have anybody else, which brings us to Cede 403 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: Lamb gigantic game possibly in coming here against Keishawn Nixon, 404 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: the eighty second ranked cornerback in coverage by Pro Football Focus, 405 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: giving up an eighty two percent catch rate and an 406 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: opposer passer rating of one hundred and four. Here's what 407 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: other slot receivers have done against the Packers since Thanksgiving. 408 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: Adam Thielen ninety four yards, Chris Godwin ten catches one 409 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty five yards, when Dale Robinson's seventy nine yards. 410 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: Rashee Rice, running mostly from the slot, eight catches sixty 411 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: four yards. I'm on Ross Saint Brown nine catches ninety 412 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: five yards. Keenan Allen ten catches one hundred and sixteen yards. 413 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: These slow receivers killing the killing the Packers, averaging eight 414 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 1: receptions one hundred yards. Ceedee Lamb is the hottest receiver 415 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: in football. It's gonna be a great game for him 416 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: and tons of points coming. 417 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 3: I saw a prop when it was Ceedee Lamb, and 418 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,400 Speaker 3: I forget who else. It was like Tyreek Hill or 419 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 3: Mike another big name receiver, but it was for Ceedee 420 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 3: Lamb and that other receiver to combine for three hundred 421 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 3: and a half yards. 422 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: Wow. 423 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 3: I like ceedee Lamb might get that himself. 424 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: Three hundred yards, man, that's not that much. 425 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 3: But she could sniff two hundred. That's not too far 426 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 3: fetched any means. 427 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: The Sunday night game is also mine. That's Rams and Lions. 428 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: Let's talk that one through for a minute. I think 429 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: there's possible struggles coming for David Montgomery and Jamier gibbson 430 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 1: this one. Quietly. The Rams have been a terrific run defense. 431 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: It's largely powered. They're way into the playoffs. No back 432 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: has fifty four rushing yards since Week nine. I mean 433 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: that's you know, we're talking the entire second half of 434 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: the season and over that stretch, opposing runners averaging just 435 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: three point seven yards per carry. And since Week nine 436 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: they've given up one rushing touchdown. Brian, these are elite 437 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,639 Speaker 1: run defense metrics. Montgomery and Gibbs have been very safe 438 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: weekly starters throughout the regular season. Not so much here, 439 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: and let me put some icing on that Rams are 440 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: great against running backs through the air. They ranked number 441 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: two on the season in receiving yards allowed to runners 442 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: and they gave up one running back touchdown through the air. 443 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: All season, the average running back game through the air 444 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 1: was against the Rams four catches twenty one yards. So 445 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: if Montgomery and Gibbs are gonna share that, that gives 446 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: them two catches for ten and a half yards each. 447 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: That's it. So I think those guys might struggle in 448 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 1: this game. And it also, by the way, it makes 449 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: me wonder if if the Lions do struggle to run 450 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: the ball, which is kind of their bread and butter, 451 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: that I feel like sets up the rest of their offense. 452 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: I wonder what happens the rest of their offense. Phokinakua 453 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 1: is sitting on a potentially gigantic game, Brian. 454 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 3: We're gonna say that every week for like ten years, 455 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 3: I feel like, But yeah, he's. 456 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,880 Speaker 1: Gonna face off, most commonly against Kendall Vildor, an old 457 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 1: FFW favorite. Oh if we loved picking on Kendall Vildor. 458 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: Over the past five weeks, the Lions have allowed the 459 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: most receiving yards to wide receivers. Buy a mile. Get 460 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: that this is just to wide receivers, two hundred twenty 461 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: eight yards per game to the wide receiver position. Who 462 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: can akoup is good for? 463 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 3: Brian? 464 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,480 Speaker 1: What do you think half of the total RAMS wide 465 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 1: receiver yardage output? 466 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 3: One would think. Now there's Cooper Cup in town and 467 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 3: DeMarcus Robinson though he's been guarding some attention. But yeah, yeah, 468 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 3: that's a safe assumption. 469 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,239 Speaker 1: So Kindallvildor is an outside cornerback, and you know they 470 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: didn't want to start him, but they got stuck starting 471 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: him because of Emmanuel Moseley's injury. Now, let me give 472 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:27,560 Speaker 1: you some Kindle Vildor futility stats. You're ready opposer passer 473 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: rating in Kindallvildor's coverage, Brian, you want to guess. 474 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:38,080 Speaker 3: It's triple digits, and I'm not counting decimal points. There 475 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 3: would be quintuple digits with decimal points. One eleven point seventy. 476 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 1: Four perfect, of course, is a one hundred and fifty 477 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: eight passer rating in his coverage. He's giving up a 478 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: one hundred forty four passer rating in his coverage. He owns. 479 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: The league's longest average reception is against Kendall Vildor. You 480 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 1: want to can't get us what the average reception against Kendallvilldor. 481 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 3: Is seventeen yards twenty two. 482 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: I mean, think about that. You're getting twenty too high. No, right, 483 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: it's it's unbelievable. He's allowed the longest reception from scrimmage 484 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: across the entire league Kindallvilldor and he's allowed touchdowns and 485 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: back to back games entering this one. It's a potentially 486 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: massive game for Puka Nkua on the outside, which is 487 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:36,120 Speaker 1: where you'll find Kindallvildor. DeMarcus Robinson also runs from the outside. 488 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: He's gonna see some Kindallvilldor too. I wouldn't. I would 489 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 1: consider him as somebody that you could you could make 490 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: some waves with. I think the Rams as much as 491 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: we all want the Lions. I think with their years 492 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 1: of futility, the Rams won the Super Bowl three years ago. 493 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: You know, I think most people feel like the Lions 494 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 1: deserve to win this. We might want them to win this. 495 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: I think the Rams are gonna win. 496 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 3: I kind of do too. Another great game, though Philadelphia 497 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,159 Speaker 3: Philadelphia Tampa on Monday night is the least interesting of 498 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 3: these to me, other than the possibility that Philadelphia ends 499 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 3: up losing six to the last seven. 500 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: Fire the coach, I mean, who I mean this watching 501 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: all of this happen to Philadelphia. Not that I want 502 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: bad things for Philadelphia. I don't, but it's just I 503 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: just can't believe what I'm seeing. When this team was 504 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: sitting at what like ten and one through eleven weeks, 505 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: they were they were on, they were gonna coast to 506 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: the number one seed, and now here they are, they're 507 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: traveling to Tampa. Nobody saw this coming. Unbelievable drama. 508 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, they were like the first team that was ten 509 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 3: and one to not reach twelve wins. Ever, I think 510 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,000 Speaker 3: I read and that's now there's an extra game where 511 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 3: you can get to the twelve. 512 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 1: Wow, that's an amazing stat. 513 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 3: So yeah, they're in this total tailspin in Philly, and 514 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 3: of course everyone outside of Philadelphia is loving every second 515 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 3: of it. But it gets worse on Thursday. Jalen Hurts 516 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 3: says he has not thrown a football since he injured 517 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: his finger on last Sunday, So we'll see what happens 518 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 3: on Friday Saturday. But his middle his fingers messed up 519 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 3: on his throwing, and he said it was a mistake 520 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 3: going back in the game against the Giants, and there's 521 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 3: really nothing to play forelmost at that point. So yeah, 522 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,159 Speaker 3: you gotta be worried about all of the Eagles, especially 523 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 3: DeAndre Swift. He's the I'll roll the dice on the 524 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 3: passing game because you know that's how you attack the Bucks. 525 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 3: But it's no shock or that you don't want to 526 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 3: go with DeAndre Swift really in any format against the Bucks, 527 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 3: allowing three point six yards per carry and the eighth 528 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 3: lowest rushing success rate over the final ten weeks of 529 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 3: the regular season. In Swift, you know who's usually he 530 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 3: can be a bell cow back when given the opportunities, 531 00:27:57,800 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 3: meaning you know, he gets his carries and he gets 532 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 3: worked through the He's been invisible in the pass game 533 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 3: over his last six totally, just six catches for seventeen 534 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 3: scoreless yards on eleven targets during that span his last 535 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 3: six games. So gross, gross prospects for DeAndre Swift in 536 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 3: this game. What I'm who I'm most excited for is 537 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, who coming off a really bad game statistically 538 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 3: against Carolina last week, but he was banged up and 539 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 3: teams just we said it all season, they do not 540 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,919 Speaker 3: throw against the Panthers, and the Panthers do have a 541 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 3: good secondary when teams do choose to throw against them. 542 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 3: But who doesn't have a good secondary, And it's taken 543 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 3: a total you know from last season is Philadelphia. Since 544 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 3: Week thirteen, Philly has allowed the sixth highest yards per attempt, 545 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 3: the third most passing touchdowns, the fourth highest passer rating, 546 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 3: the seventh highest adjusted completion rate. Again, Baker's been banged 547 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: up with the rib injury, but he'll benefit from the 548 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,239 Speaker 3: extra day arrest with its game being on Monday night, 549 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: which I hate, by the way, it should. 550 00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: Just be tween. So I mean some you know, the 551 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: winner here is gonna get at most six days rest. 552 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,680 Speaker 1: They'll get six. They won't play him on Saturday, but 553 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,880 Speaker 1: they get six days. 554 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 3: Still disadvantage. 555 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: It's a sizable disadvantage, and. 556 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 3: I do I will admit. Once Monday comes around, you know, 557 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 3: Monday night, you're like, oh, there's a football game on, 558 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 3: So I guess I'm glad they did wait, But overall 559 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 3: it's it's stupid. But anyway, uh, not stupid would be 560 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 3: stacking the Buccaneers from all angles against this Eagles defense, 561 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 3: starting with the obvious guys Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, you 562 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 3: can go all the way down to Kate Otten though, 563 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 3: just super stackable friendly team. Uh for the Bucks who 564 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 3: there's gonna be some rain in this one. Philly still 565 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 3: favored three point favorites. I don't know about that. This 566 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 3: feels more like just a toss up to me with 567 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 3: the way the Eagles have been playing, But I would 568 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 3: not be shocked to see the the Bucks pull the 569 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 3: upset here. And uh, you know, Rashad White can only 570 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 3: say good things about Rashad White that the Eagles run 571 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 3: defense is all so taking a complete one eighty just again, 572 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 3: total tail spin. All the Bucks are in play in 573 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 3: this game, I'd give. 574 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,280 Speaker 1: Some you want, you want a dart throw buck, It's 575 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: Trey Palmer. Trey Palmer. Yeah, the slot has been a 576 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: problem for Philadelphia all year long, and in some cases 577 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: a massive problem for them. And you know Philadelphia's you know, 578 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,800 Speaker 1: they got they got a Vonte Maddox back there, and 579 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: you know Maddox is he's not terrible, but he's you know, 580 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 1: also not all that good. Philadelphia is allowed let me 581 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: look at it, see if they've allowed the fourth most 582 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: Fantasy points to the slot. So yeah, that'll be that'll 583 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: be one to watch as well if you need a 584 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:48,400 Speaker 1: sort of DFS dart throw Trey Palmer potential. Can we 585 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 1: can we just feel good about Baker Mayfield for a second. 586 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: I mean, the dude when ignominiously ejected from Cleveland. You know, 587 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people, a lot of fans, 588 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, after watching his TV ads for three years, 589 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: and we're like, what has he done to earn this 590 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: level of stature? Blah blah blah whatever, just very quietly 591 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: signs with the Bucks. People felt like it was a 592 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: desperation move from the Bucks, who didn't have anywhere else 593 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 1: to turn at quarterback. And Baker Mayfield's turned in a 594 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: good fantasy season and a good, well, just a good season. 595 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: I don't want to qualify but make it sound like 596 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 1: a fantasy season, Brian, it's you know, by I think, 597 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: by any standards, it was a good season, in a 598 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: better season than pretty much anybody expected from Baker Mayfield. 599 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,640 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, for sure. And you can't forget last year 600 00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 3: he started off with the Panthers, didn't play well, but 601 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 3: we all know the story in Carolina. They were a 602 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 3: disaster last year. They're gonna be a disaster for a 603 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 3: long time. Then he went to the Rams for a minute. 604 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 3: They ran out of quarterbacks essentially, and he played all 605 00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:49,280 Speaker 3: right for the He just showed up, I remember, and 606 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,959 Speaker 3: he played decent one game for the Rams, and I 607 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 3: think they went to Green Bay and got rolled. But yeah, great, 608 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 3: great story. He should be Comeback Player of the Year. 609 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,719 Speaker 1: Well not, unfortunately not, you know, not even in consideration. 610 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: Really it's a right now it's Flacco and DeMar Hamlin, 611 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: or at least that's how they closed out the regular 612 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:06,600 Speaker 1: season as those two. 613 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 3: Is Hamlin's he played what, like, I know, that's incredible. 614 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 1: Seven look delighted, yeh, obviously delighted he's alive and delighted 615 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,280 Speaker 1: he's still in the league. But I just think at 616 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 1: some point to win this award, you need to play, 617 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: don't you. 618 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, seven snaps? Seven games we're taking. 619 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, he had seventeen If I misspoke, it was seventeen snaps, 620 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: which is pretty ridiculous. 621 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 3: I just like, a that's a quarter. 622 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, and maybe, you know, maybe DeMar 623 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: Hamlin's going to be much better next year, you know, 624 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 1: further removed from nearly dying on the field, and so 625 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,080 Speaker 1: maybe next will be better. But you know, I think 626 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: if it were my vote, I would I'd go Joe 627 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: Flacco for that, or to your point, Baker Mayfield, by 628 00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: the way, you care to guests, were Baker Mayfield ESPN scoring? 629 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: What position did Baker Mayfield finish in the quarterback position? 630 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 3: Got to be top ten to go seventh. 631 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: Ten Baker Mayfield ten. How about that? 632 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:16,880 Speaker 3: I wanted to bring it up circle back to Houston Cleveland. 633 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 3: Really we're talking about and just season awards Stefanski or 634 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 3: Demiko Ryans. 635 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I talked about it on KFA and today, what 636 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,640 Speaker 1: an amazing job by both guys. Stefanski had to overcome 637 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: way more. You lose Nick Chubb in week two, You're 638 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: on four different quarterbacks. You have to juggle the hole 639 00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson thing, which is you know, really difficult, lots 640 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 1: of injuries on and off to his defense as well 641 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:46,320 Speaker 1: for Kevin Stefanski. And now they've you know, they've really 642 00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, they've turned into obviously a very good team. 643 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: That's parts great for Stefanski, for Damiko Ryans. Remember Houston 644 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: picked two in the draft. They were so bad and 645 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: there look at where they ended up. You know, they 646 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: end up being they're hosting a playoff game. They win 647 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: their division and hosts a playoff game. What a job 648 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:07,800 Speaker 1: he did. I don't if you had to, if you 649 00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,439 Speaker 1: were to pick one or the other who would you pick? 650 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 3: I think, has there ever been a co co winner? 651 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 3: This is the year that there should be one. 652 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty sure there has been a co 653 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:20,359 Speaker 1: winner of coach. 654 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 3: I know, I know you can't factor the postseason, but 655 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 3: really this game should decide. 656 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,399 Speaker 1: That's a great point. Now, the winner of this game 657 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: gets to win that award. 658 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,720 Speaker 3: I think ins the fancy just because it's Yeah, Houston's 659 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 3: been It just seemed like a total like that. They 660 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 3: were just their season was over almost, you know, as 661 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 3: soon as Nick Chubb went down, and then things got 662 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 3: worse and worse and worse to the point where you're like, 663 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,480 Speaker 3: just shut it down. And then in comes Joe Flacco 664 00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 3: and yeah, fitting water with Dorriyan Thompson, Robinson and stuff. 665 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 3: They had a win or two there, but Flacco thing 666 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 3: is just incredible. I It's gonna be a Disney movie 667 00:34:58,280 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 3: about this. 668 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,799 Speaker 1: This is like, well, if you he wins the super Bowl, 669 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 1: there might be yes, yeah, okay, And I'm wrong. I 670 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 1: don't believe there has been have been co winners. I 671 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: thought that there might have, but I do not appear 672 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 1: to have been correct about that. 673 00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,759 Speaker 3: So has there been any steam I'm in Charlotte now, 674 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 3: so I'm not hearing a lot of the local gibber 675 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 3: jabber anymore. But Joe Flago of the Vikings next year, 676 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:23,640 Speaker 3: is that a possibility? 677 00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 1: Not that I think. I think they're here. They're talking 678 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: about the general managed for the Vikings came out and 679 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: talked about how he's you know, the team's going to 680 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: make an effort to resign Kirk Cousins. That doesn't mean 681 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: they will, and it doesn't mean that Kirk will accept 682 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,320 Speaker 1: whatever they offer for a salary, but there will be 683 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,240 Speaker 1: an effort made to keep him, and I think ultimately 684 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:45,760 Speaker 1: they will. 685 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 3: Flacco can certainly play still, clearly saw Tom Brady. We 686 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,520 Speaker 3: saw Tom Brady play all forty five and he's an 687 00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:56,880 Speaker 3: unrestricted free agent. Cleveland is unfortunately married to de Shaun Watson. 688 00:35:57,719 --> 00:35:59,879 Speaker 3: And if someone's gonna be willing to pay him starter money, 689 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,879 Speaker 3: not gonna he'll probably take it. 690 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they always do, right, or almost always do. 691 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: I if you had to pick a team where if 692 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: you had to pick a team right now that Joe 693 00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: Flacco is going to be the starter for on Week one, 694 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: who would you pick? 695 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 3: Like where it would work? I think it would work 696 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 3: with the Vikings if they don't resign Kirk Cousins Atlanta possibly, 697 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 3: I think it's getting one. 698 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:27,960 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a team farther down 699 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,919 Speaker 1: the draft that can't really realistically go get their guy, 700 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:36,200 Speaker 1: and that's Pittsburgh at twenty three. You know, there's Pittsburgh 701 00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 1: sitting at twenty three. Is at least if they're twenty 702 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,520 Speaker 1: three now, they could move up depending on you know, 703 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,319 Speaker 1: wins or losses here, Pittsburgh at twenty three doesn't have 704 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: a very viable way to get up into the top 705 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: six or so that you're going to have to get 706 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 1: one of the three quarterbacks that are believed to be 707 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:54,080 Speaker 1: going early in the lottery here. 708 00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,520 Speaker 3: So it'll be his third AFC North team that. 709 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 1: Wouldn't wild Yeah, yep, you. 710 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,080 Speaker 3: Know, finished the career in Cincinnati. 711 00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 1: Yeah right, maybe maybe he could Burrow goes. 712 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 3: Down in twenty twenty six or no, twenty twenty five, 713 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,600 Speaker 3: what you're Rewian, But yeah, it would be incredible if 714 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,399 Speaker 3: they just it's incredible already. But if the Browns make 715 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 3: a deep run, if the Browns win the Super Bowl, 716 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,240 Speaker 3: what do you do with Deshaun Watson? 717 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you how would you at that point 718 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: go back to Deshaun Watson and tell your fan base, Yeah, 719 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,600 Speaker 1: we just won the Super Bowl at Joe Flacco, but 720 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna let him go to Pittsburgh, our division rival, 721 00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 1: and we're gonna go back to the guy who was 722 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 1: fully incapable of moving this offense. 723 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,359 Speaker 3: That knows our whole postseason playbooked right walk away with that. 724 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 1: Unreal, God, it'd be it'd be such a great storyline, 725 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't it incredible? 726 00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:56,839 Speaker 3: Yeah? 727 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:02,000 Speaker 1: Unreal?
