Speaker 1: bag twice. Absolutely so there's a lot of speaking of

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: heat outside. There's a lot of heat in the podcast.

21
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Before we started taping, Harmon said, I was like, hey,

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: but it feels dead inside. I believe I said that

24
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: this could be one of those days where I walked

25
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: out like all my tires were slashing or my car

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,319

62
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: camera highlights in the world of sports, breaking breaking news, breakingly,

63
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: continue to follow, breaking ness. Has your wife so much

64
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: news out of the Pacific Northwest. Russell Wilson sprained MCL

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: Will he miss time? We're not exactly sure. Rap sheet

66
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: that is. NFL Network insider Ian Rapp reports as the

67
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: team is optimistic he'll play Sunday on the road versus

68
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: the Jets. Forget about the injury, or I should say,

69
00:03:54,920 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: forget about his availability. Anyways, on the short term, long term,

70
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: what do you do with Russell Wilson? He had yet

71
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: again and okay, day not a great day. This is

72
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: a guy that was being drafted as a top three

73
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: or four fantasy quarterback. I just I can't see him

74
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: paying dividends like that right now, given how injured he is.

75
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: Remember he came in with a high ankle spring as

76
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: well on his other leg. On his other leg, so

77
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: now he's got two bad wheels and a lot of

78
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: what he brought to the table from a fantasy perspective. Anyways,

79
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: was that mobility. So I'll ask you, HMG, what do

80
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: you do with Russell Wilson. Well, you're not dropping him,

81
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: but you are looking for other options right now. I

82
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: mean it. I guess for Wilson's sake, it helps that

83
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: they have a bye week coming. They're they're off in

84
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: week five, so you know, he at least gets a

85
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: little time hopefully to heal up. We'll see what happens

86
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: with him this week. But yeah, you know, the good

87
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: news is there is so much depth of the quarterback

88
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: position then, unless unless you're playing in you know, some

89
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: quarter twelve team two quarterback league, there's gonna be a

90
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: guy out there. And you know, obviously Carson Wentz, I

91
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: know he's off this week, but he's proven that that

92
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: he can be a viable starter, you know. I I'm

93
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: sure Matt Stafford isn't out there, But there are a

94
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: lot of guys out there, you know, looking at Joe

95
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: Flacco for instance, for the next couple of weeks. He's

96
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: got the Raiders and he's got Washington coming up in

97
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: the next two weeks. So he's a guy who could

98
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: be a good viable spot start for you. So you know,

99
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: hold onto us. I think things will get better. I

100
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: hope things will get better. Trade them. Uh, I mean,

101
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 1: what do you get for him right now? That's what

102
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: that's the question. I don't know. I don't think you do,

103
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,479
Speaker 1: especially because that offensive line is kind of a mess

104
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: right now. So I think you hope for better things,

105
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: but you find another option, franchise. I'm just I'm more

106
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: worried about the other. Like the wide receivers in in Seattle,

107
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: if Russell Wilson has to miss miss an extended period

108
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: of time, Dog Baldwin Tyler Locketts already banged up. Matt

109
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: Harmon wrote about that today. Um Trevon Boykin is is

110
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: the backup quarterback, and again, we don't know how much

111
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: time Russell Wilson is gonna miss, but it's just from

112
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: his person, you might not miss any time, right exactly.

113
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy you got a stash on

114
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: your bench. If you own him, see how it plays out.

115
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to move him or drop him or anything,

116
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: but you know, you just gotta piece it together. Stream

117
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: some guys for the next couple of weeks and see

118
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: if he can get back. Thomas Rawls a hairline fracture

119
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: now in his fibula. We heard about a some kind

120
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: of leg contusion. Apparently much more severe than a leg contusion.

121
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: Thomas rawls a hairline fracture in his fibula, according to

122
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: a report from rap Sheet, could miss about a month.

123
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: Rap Sheet is reporting, stay woke, my friends, stay well,

124
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: Stay woke, dude. Some tea in the stupid voice and

Speaker 1: Mad Franchise is sipping it. Anyone want some tea, Franchise,

126
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: the floor is yours, my friend. Well. Christen Michael came

127
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: out the starter on Sunday, first rush of the game,

128
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: scored a forty one yard touchdown. Looked amazing, excellent, burst

129
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: through the hole in your Twitter, in your face, all

130
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: you haters on Twitter, Come at me, Bro, Come at me, bro.

131
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Anybody could have seen franchises face on. I was as

132
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: as the Awakening was hitting a Phoebe pitch, and then

133
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't. I wasn't paying at close attention to the

134
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: game because there was other stuff going on. But then

135
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: he scored a second touchdown and someone down the hall

136
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: like screamed at me, and I was like, what he

137
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: scored again? Oh my god, this is happening like a

138
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: kid on Christmas morning. When the parent woke up, was

139
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: like Santa came and he's like Santa's here, racing downstairs

140
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: to see the se Mike touchdowns and not present. I mean, look,

141
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: it was a really good match up against San Francisco.

142
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Rawls was out, Everything was kind of falling into place

143
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: for this to happen. It just it happened, man, And uh,

144
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: it looks like he's going to be the starter for

145
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: a few weeks now with with Rawls out, and if

146
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: you do, you ride this production. Oh heck, yeah, yeah,

147
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: I know. Uh. Geen Brammel, who's one of Harmon's co

148
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: workers at a football guys, he's he's actually a doctor,

149
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: right Harmon. Yes, he he had tweeted that that's not

150
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: a fake that's not a fake doctor, not a not

151
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: a fake doctor who's analyzing injuries like he's actual actual doctor.

152
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: But he had tweeted that I think the probably the

153
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: timeline is like somewhere from four to six or six

154
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: to eight weeks, and he said probably lean on the

155
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: over with this type of injury for a running back

156
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: to come back from. He's been doing this for a

157
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: long time. Were coming these injuries. So if you have

158
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Kristin Michael, you should be able to ride him for

159
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: a long time, and if you don't, you need a

160
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: running back, might be somebody try and target into trade.

161
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: I do like it. What's unfortunate for Kristen Michael, though,

162
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,319
Speaker 1: is like the next few weeks for the Seahawks is

163
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: like not a very good schedule. Stuff They have at

164
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: the Jets home, playing the Falcons. That's a pretty good spot.

165
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: At the Cardinals, then at the Saints, which is always

166
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: nice um and then the Bills November seven. So it's

167
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 1: not like the greatest schedule. There's definitely some potential roadblocks,

168
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: like at New York and at Arizona, but you've got

169
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: some good matchups in there as well. The Arizona game

170
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: scares me, I don't know. The Jets don't scare me nearly,

171
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: but they've been giving up a lot of points for

172
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: some reason, so I don't know. I'm not too worried

173
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: about as much. To the ground though, and Arizona just

174
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: got gashed by by Shady McCoy. I'd be more worried

175
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: about this coming week than I would about Arizona. All right,

176
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: There you go. Jeremy Langford to sprain ankle. Jordan Howard

177
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: was in there when Lankford kinda was not just sputtering

178
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: but also injured as well. How much do we like

179
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard A fair amount? Good enough? Could you? And

180
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: keep in mind, could he carry was inactive for this game.

181
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: I think he was dealing with a hamstring injury if

182
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken, but he was out. I'm assuming if

183
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: he gets right, he'll also be part of this time

184
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: share probably. I mean, Howard looked good. He he showed

185
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: his burst and his power he has well, like he

186
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: had his one thirty six yards run and then his

187
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: harmon was quick to point out this morning too, and

188
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: I saw on Twitter his other eight runs went for

189
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: nine whole yards. But I mean that was in limited

190
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: work when they were way down. So given a potential

191
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: full compliment of the touches or at least the Lion's

192
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: share like Jeremy Lankford was getting, he'll be. He'll be

193
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: a flex option. I think they play Detroit this week's

194
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 1: so he'll be he'll be a solid option. I also

195
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: think it's really important, right for any player, whether you're

196
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: running back, quarterback, wide receiver, that you get those first

197
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: team reps. And I don't think Jordan Howard was getting

198
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: those first team reps, right, But if Lankford is injured

199
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: and Cadeem Carey is still coming back from hamstring, I

200
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: would imagine Lankford's gonna get all the first team reps

201
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: this week. I wouldn't. I wouldn't be or Jordan Howard

202
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: rather would be getting the first team reps this week.

203
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised at all if he has a

204
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: bit of an improved performance. I guess so what what

205
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: concerned me yesterday watching that game was the offensive line

206
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 1: for the Bears did not offer a lot of support, um,

207
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: you know, and so you talk about those was it

208
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: eight other runs for nine yards or whatever it was yesterday?

209
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: A lot of that was because he was met by

210
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: multiple guys in the backfield a lot of times. And

211
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: that concerns me. Although you can crawl the line on

212
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: this team because there the upside is that Howard did

213
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: catch a few balls out of the backfield, But then again,

214
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: a lot of those came when the Bears were out big.

215
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: But I guess the correlator that is that the Bears

216
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: could be down big a lot. Yeah, he's got that

217
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: in his skill set. He's a good pass catcher for

218
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: a big guy, so in New York it adds to

219
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: his weekly floor as a flex play or I should

220
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: should I say New Jersey East Ruth for Chane Verreene

221
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: after getting his very first start, is now done for

222
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: the season or not? Well actually maybe not. Yeah, Like

223
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: just literally as we were coming up here that we

224
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: got a few emails about like they've revised that tip

225
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 1: might just be two months, but he's on I R

226
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: he could get taken off. Yeah, it's gonna be a while.

227
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: A torn tri Sep for the former cow product. I'm

228
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: so sad. The team announced Monday that Shane Ving tourist

229
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: tri Sep Jennings is also semi dinged up and also

230
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: has a very long history of injuries as well Orleans

231
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: Dark Wall Ladies and gentlemen. The worst part about this

232
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: is that these injuries to Jennings and Verene what a

233
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: really dark cloud over what was starting to become a

234
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: clear fantasy backfield. Like we knew Verine was gonna get

235
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: the passing down work, Jennings was kind of the the

236
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: semi workhorse and it was great perfect now that this

237
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: especially Verens injury, because why Jennings was a surprise and

238
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: active was they said his hand injury limited what he

239
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: could do in the passing game, but I think both

240
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: pass blocking and catching the ball. They took him off

241
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: the injury report, and now Orleans Dark with though is

242
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: not a great historical pass catcher, he only has ten

243
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: career targets and limited work. They have Bobby Rainey there,

244
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: who we've seen catch a lot of passes, and they

245
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: have Paul Perkins, who we know you can do that

246
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: from U C l A. So all three of these

247
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: guys are people you're gonna want to take a look at.

248
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: I mean, Bobby Rainey played last week, Perkins was active

249
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: first first game, didn't see the field. But this this

250
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: could be a disaster. Perkins has got to be the

251
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: ad though, I guess, but he played almost well. See

252
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: and I are I don't even I don't even know

253
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: what the hell to say, Like I already tweeted this today,

254
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: like I'm looking forward to watching fantasy analysts wax philosophical

255
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: all week about it's Orleans Dark word, it's Paul Perkins.

256
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: And then Bobby Rainey gets fifteen touches on on on Sunday.

257
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: So I have no idea. I'm not even gonna really

258
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: pretend to have much of it. They were getting Bobby

259
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: Rainy a lot they I mean, you know, any time

260
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: you need a touchdown and you gotta throw a fade

261
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: in the corner to Bobby rain So like five ft

262
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: eight Bobby ray you gotta you gotta take it. I mean,

263
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: you can't just pass that. I will say I watched

264
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 1: that again. It was definitely a design play to go

265
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: to Beckham and he got open, but the protection failed

266
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: and ELI had to hurl the fade to Bobby Rainey.

267
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: So it was not like they got in there and

268
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: we're like, great, we're dialing up the fade to Bobby.

269
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: But anyway, anyways, get out of here with your reality.

270
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: That's disconcerting, But I think I I would I would

271
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: like to think Perkins is the AD. I think he's

272
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: the longer term AD because he's younger, they've got draft

273
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 1: capital in him. We've see this all the time with

274
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: coaching staffs will defer to a veteran, So I would

275
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: kind of suspect that Bobby Rainey is the one that

276
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: gets in the mix earlier and offense. So if you need,

277
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: like in a PPR league, desperate RB help, Rainy might

278
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: be the one to grab for Week four. Also, he

279
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: say like draft capital wasn't like a fifth round pick. Yeah,

280
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: but he was like this year's draft. But so what

281
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: who cares? Like that just means he's new to us,

282
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: but doesn't mean really anything. I don't know, it's just

283
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't care. I mean, I hear no, I man,

284
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I totally hear what you're saying. Harmony.

285
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: But that being said, I mean, there was a lot

286
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: of nice reports about pauls going into training camp. And

287
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: the thing is, I mean they've drafted or they invested

288
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: like a fifth round pick in in Paul Perkins. They

289
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: have almost no capital investments, neither of Rainy or dark

290
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Wall for God's sake. So uh yeah, it's not like

291
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: it was a second round pick, but it is they

292
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: did spend a pick on him. This right, Like just

293
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: we're I mean, just I'm just reiterating the point that

294
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: we're completely guessing. We're guessing here, all right, des is

295
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: gonna have an m R I on his kneme. We're

296
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: talking about Dez Bryant there in Dallas. His leg was

297
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: rolled up on very early in that game, in the

298
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: first quarter. I thought he was done for the game,

299
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: but then out of know where, he came back and

300
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: does what Dez does. Third knee injury like that we've

301
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: seen in like this past week, Brandon Marshall, Russell Wilson,

302
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: they're all done, they're they're dead, they're they're seasons over,

303
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: and then boom, they're all right back in there. And said, good,

304
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: good god, I don't get it. So we're lucky. We're lucky.

305
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: So but des is part of the getting an m

306
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: R I on his knee today. Did that news come

307
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: out yet? I I didn't have chance to look, but

308
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: reportedly does is getting an m r R R today on Monday. Well,

309
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: we'll hear him. I'm sure at some point either today

310
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: or tomorrow about what the results of that m R

311
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: I will be. Adam Gaz has already ruled out Arian

312
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: Foster for a Thursday night football Miami taking their act

313
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: on the road against Cincinnati. Uh, what do we make

314
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: of the Miami backfield? Kenyan Drake was hitting there. It's

315
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: so funny how this works out. Of course, Jay Jaii

316
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: is the guy that scores the overtime touchdown to steal

317
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: the mean, Like, really, I mean, I think that's all

318
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: it needs to be said about this backfield. They gave

319
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: four plus touches to four different backs. The only the

320
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: back they fed the most touches too was Drake who

321
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: had eleven and he got a grand total of forty

322
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: eight yards on that. The offense looks like, I don't

323
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think you can start anybody in

324
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: this backfield, especially against and what's now And I don't

325
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: want to use the stupid narrative, but like an angry

326
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: Bengals team, they just got beat by Trevor Simeon there there,

327
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: one and two. They have a they have a talented defense.

328
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: It's a short week, like everything's kind of skewing in

329
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: favor of the Bengals here. I don't mind the Miami

330
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: passing attack, but I'm not touching. Hey. By the way,

331
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: do you guys see the postgame reaction between Adam Gaze

332
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: and j I was just actually gonna cold. It was

333
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: ice cold. It was ice cold. You could see like

334
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: Gaze k whispered something to him and his I just

335
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: kind of looked at him and just walked away. Yeah,

336
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: it was nuts. It was It was like it was

337
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: like a Bill Belichick post game. It was like Okay, great, thanks, thanks,

338
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: like just thanks for that whatever walks away. It's kind

339
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: of like that. That was so weird, kind of like

340
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: when your ex like drops your stuff off at your apartments, like,

341
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: thanks for doing that, but thanks, I really don't want

342
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: to see you. Thanks for winning the game for us.

343
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna get cut. Isn't that weird? Yeah? I don't know,

344
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: it wasn't And I was going to point that out

345
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: because I found that was an interesting year. You never

346
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: see that between like a head coach and a guy

347
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: who just wore the game. That's what that will happen. Alright,

348
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: let's play a fantasy game here. Back on track or nah,

349
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about guys that have struggled in

350
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks. They had a pretty good

351
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: Week three. Um, they got back on track at least

352
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective in week three. We will answer

353
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: the guys here whether or not they see four see

354
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: long term. A long term turnaround for some of these players.

355
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: Will start with Todd Gurley Back on track or NA

356
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: eighty five rush yards two touchdowns. Pretty good and kind

357
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: of what first the folks who were drafting Todd gurl

358
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: In the first round. We're expecting maybe not on a

359
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: weekly basis, but certainly a more regular currents here for

360
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. But he looked absolutely awful in his first

361
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: two weeks back on track or no, was he ever

362
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: on track? Five rush yards on seven carry, three point

363
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: one yards a clip. Yeah, it's not. It's just not

364
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:13,919
Speaker 1: not gonna make it sound even worse. It was actually

365
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: eighty yards on twenty eight total touches because he had

366
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: one catch for minus five yards. There's there's that expanded

367
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: role in the passing theme that everybody was tweeting aet

368
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: me was definitely gonna happen. So the answer to your question, James,

369
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody. I don't think anybody's been on

370
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: this yet. I was gonna say Marcus Best, like I've

371
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: tweeted about this too. Like Marcus essentially nailed exactly how

372
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 1: this game was gonna go for Todd Gurley on Friday's podcast,

373
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: where he said that Gurley was going to get a

374
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: ton of touches. Again, they weren't going to be very efficient.

375
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 1: He wasn't gonna get a lot of yards per carry,

376
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: but he's probably gonna get into the end zone once

377
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 1: or twice and the fantasy point totals will look great,

378
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: which plenty of people will say, well, as long as

379
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: he gets me fantasy points, who cares. But when you

380
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: look again, when you're looking at what's gonna happen in

381
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: the future, I think what Marcus said, It's like, no,

382
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: this is still not fine. Like even though he just

383
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 1: scored the two touchdowns, you know the big difference in

384
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: this game. And I mean, I'll cop to it that

385
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: I whiffed on the projection of what how this game

386
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: is gonna go. I thought the Bucks were going to

387
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: smash the Rams, but the Bucks giving up that early

388
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: touchdow you didn't How could you not predict the the

389
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: long Brian Briant quick touchdown? How could? I mean? But

390
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: that was a huge difference in the game, like the

391
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,439
Speaker 1: fact that the Rams were then able to play with

392
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: the lead, which is exactly how they want to play.

393
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: And give case Keenum credit. He definitely, uh, he definitely

394
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: played pretty well. And they took that deep shot to

395
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 1: Brian quick. They got another tap shot to Tavon Austin

396
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: where the guy wrapped him up, like hugged him, just

397
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: let him go. It was unbelievable, but so those those

398
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: things are not gonna happen very often for this Rams team,

399
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: especially against an in net secondary like the Bucks. Again,

400
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: the Rams upcoming schedule at the Cardinals, Bills at home

401
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 1: at Detroit versus the Giants, and then the Panthers then

402
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: the Jets. Do you not take this performance though, and

403
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: try to flip Todd Gurley right now out this week?

404
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: It depends. I mean no, I was always sitting depending

405
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: when you can get it, but like it definitely to me, Like,

406
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: and if you're gonna be taking these bumps for sure,

407
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: and if you have Todd Gurley you're targeting, I don't

408
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: know what I mean. You're assuming you could try to

409
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: find some depth, you know, either on your batch round

410
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: the waiver wire. In regards to running back, it's so

411
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: much easier to trade a running back for a wide receiver. Um.

412
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming if you've got Todd Gurley again, I

413
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: know that he hasn't played well, but you still have

414
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: to ask for a lot back. Yeah, definitely, Well, you

415
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: gotta try to catch you gotta credit just knocked the

416
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: water bottle over water bottle. You gotta you gotta try

417
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: to cash in on that name value and the most

418
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: recent big performance. This this is the moment that I

419
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: think you got to try to do that. This is

420
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, trying to trade for Todd Gurleer

421
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 1: trade Todd Gurley. It's like it's like you're selling kind

422
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: of a used car that you shined it up and

423
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: you got a new painting job, but you're just hoping

424
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: that nobody looks under the hood. Um well. And I

425
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: say that though, because, as Harmon mentioned, he tweeted out

426
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: last night about how I kind of predicted how this

427
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: game would go, and I thought it was interesting. Raymond Summerlin,

428
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: who does a lot of good stuff kind of pipe

429
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: then and said, well, why look, this is kind of

430
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: what he did at the end of last year. And

431
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: I went back and looked, and he's right. I mean,

432
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: you girally burst on the scene. He had four h

433
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: four performances with like a hundred and twenty some yards

434
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: or better. After that, you look, I mean he had

435
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: eighty nine yards fine, forty five, sixty six, nineteen forty one,

436
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: there's a random one forty in there, and then he

437
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: finished his out with forty eight and eighty three. I mean,

438
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: so after that huge burst, initially the rest of the

439
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: numbers were pretty mediocre, and now he's started doublet touchdowns

440
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: though in a trunk hid period of time that was

441
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: carrying his fantasy value. So you start to wonder if

442
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: he's just not a touchdown dependent running back. At least

443
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: his talent says he's he's better than that, but the

444
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: team around him is kind of holding him back. It's

445
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: this the point with the running back, I mean, with

446
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: all fantasy players in general, but especially the running my position.

447
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: Who cares if there with about their talent is like,

448
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: it's situation dictates where you're going to get opportunities to

449
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: score fantasy points and touchdowns, etcetera, and etcetera and etcetera.

450
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: And I think I still think that this RAMS team

451
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: is worse than they were a year ago, you know,

452
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: when they were when he finished that that way, So

453
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: I think it can still be worse. And like you said,

454
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't exactly consistent thing anyways, And that's what I

455
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: responded to Ray, and I was like, I mean that

456
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: still wasn't like that, And yeah, you're right, and that

457
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough to get him drafted in the top

458
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,719
Speaker 1: five picks or be considered every week, no doubt, rb

459
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: one Um. I will say this, the comparisons between Todd

460
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: Gurley and Adrian Peterson in his prime, I think they're fair.

461
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a different NFL back then, and I

462
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: get that, But the offense around ap was so bad

463
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: yet he was at least he had a good offensive

464
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: line for many of these years though when he had

465
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: Sullivan and whoever else were on. I might be mixing

466
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:51,879
Speaker 1: up their names, but they he had a lot. He

467
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: had a lot of Sullivan and and uh loadhold when

468
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: when he was in his prime. Bryant McKinney was there

469
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 1: for a while too. No, I mean they definitely had line,

470
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: which is another thing that I don't I didn't even know.

471
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I ever mentioned Girl's offensive

472
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: line when I wrote the piece about him back in August.

473
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: It was more just about offense in the situation, but also,

474
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: like you know, the Vikings, they didn't have great personnel,

475
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: but I don't think it was a rams bad. I mean,

476
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: they actually had the version of what Tavon Austin should

477
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: be in Percy Harvin, who was definitely a difference maker

478
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: there towards the end of it. So I don't know,

479
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: and it's just it's easy to rush to say, like

480
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: this guy's the next Adrian Peterson. But you know, we

481
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: always talked about we always joke about your people saying

482
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: like Adrian Peterson's the cyborg or a robot or whatever.

483
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: But that's because he's literally the best running back to

484
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: ever do it in our time. Maybe girl is not

485
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: literally the best running back to do it in our time.

486
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: Again again, like it doesn't just happen like every ten years.

487
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers

488
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: offense back or not, I say back, but he did,

489
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: of course, Marcus just like that. I'm so I'm going

490
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: to just a rational expuation. It was a lot of

491
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: the little things that Rogers personally had been misfiring on

492
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: in games past, his timing, his footwork. He even said

493
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,199
Speaker 1: in the postgame press conference, what they were able to

494
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: do is actually hit a lot of those three step

495
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 1: drops which set up everything else. And then with all

496
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: of that flowing, he was still able to hit those

497
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: crazy throws like he had to throw. It wasn't a touchdown,

498
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: but that one Jordy Nelson almost caught with one hand.

499
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: Rogers had a guy in his face. Feet weren't anywhere

500
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: close to set, flipped a pass that was perfect only

501
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: Jordy could catch it, and I sat write an article

502
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: on it was Packard Packers news dot com that after

503
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: his fourth touchdown pass, he actually headbutted t J. Lang

504
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: and said, I'm back, So Rogers knew he was Yeah, yeah,

505
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: he had he had but a t J Lang and

506
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: was like back, so he knew he was not playing

507
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: up to his standard. The offense got going. I mean,

508
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: you know, the Packers offense is humming when Rando's like

509
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: Davante Adams and Richard Rodgers are catching touchdowns and Justin

510
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: Perillo is moving the chains. So it granted it was

511
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 1: against the Detroit defense, but they were bang up. They

512
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: were banged up, but they the Packers. The Packers offense

513
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: did a lot of the little things good. They moved

514
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson around as they've been doing more. They got

515
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: him in the slot a little bit, got some big

516
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: plays off of that. So I think I think the

517
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 1: office is back and they have a buy now and

518
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: then they'll come out of it, get healthy, get right, hopefully,

519
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: and keep up keep up the momentum. The reason I

520
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: put him on this list obviously he had been struggling,

521
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: and he had four touchdowns, but you look at the

522
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: artage two oh five passing, twenty four passing attempts, and

523
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: quite frankly, it was all in the first half. Yeah,

524
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean literally almost nothing in the second half of

525
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: that ball game. I think there is at least a

526
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: question mark as to whether or not he really is

527
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: truly back. This is something that I was bemoaning earlier.

528
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: I think it was today. Like I said, Gelhard, why

529
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: doesn't your coach just want to go for the throat

530
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: like they always like Martin Mike McCarthy is completely content

531
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: to get passive in the second half of as that

532
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: early lead. And I wrote about that in the Opportunity

533
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: Reports today. Why guys like you know, Jordy Nelson had

534
00:25:59,920 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: a great game, but Randall cop like one catch for

535
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,119
Speaker 1: thirty three yards. You know, this game got out of

536
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: hand quickly, like thirty one to ten. That's why he

537
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: didn't have the yardage numbers. Is they got the short

538
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: field bunch like Damarius Randall had that picks like the

539
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: thirty people over over or never give proper credit to

540
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 1: defensive performances and how that limits your fantasy production on

541
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: your end, especially when it comes to turnover and God

542
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: forbid return touchdowns and everything like that, because because like

543
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 1: he said, it takes opportunities away. And I think the biggest,

544
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: my biggest concerns with this offense is still with the

545
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: running game, because they they Eddie Lacy's looks fine, but

546
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 1: that's that's it. Like he looks fine, he doesn't look

547
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: like an elite power back that helps you close out games,

548
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: which is why the Lions kind of started to mount

549
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: a comeback. They also they also took him off the

550
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: field though they didn't give him the ball for a while.

551
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 1: His first four carries the second half went for thirty

552
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: yards and then they just took him off the field. No,

553
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't. I'm not questioning like his usage

554
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: because I think I quite frankly think that that's fine.

555
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: Like I don't think he should be like a thirty

556
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: carry or thirty touch At point, I wasn't saying that either. Yeah,

557
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: I just I just think that, like with my my

558
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: questions with the offense more lie with the running game.

559
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: The passing offense I think will be even better when

560
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: they're in more competitive games. They don't get an early

561
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: lead like that, all right, There, you go. Um, I

562
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: was thinking about the whole Randall Cops situation. What do

563
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: we do with Randall cob I mean, the guy had

564
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: one catch for thirty three yards. We just have to

565
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,119
Speaker 1: you just have to. It's gotta be. It's gotta be

566
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: full panic mode now though, yeah oh yeah, yeah, people

567
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: are people are panic. People are in full panic mode.

568
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: I'd say, just be patient for now. He was open

569
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Rogers missed him on one. He's going,

570
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: He's going to get his work because his offense gets right.

571
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: He's still he still is the number two options there.

572
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: This was just this is one of those games scripts.

573
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: But like we said, metsid, it got out of hand

574
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: in a hurry, and that doesn't favor somebody like Cobs.

575
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: So I would not panic. I would not I would

576
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: not drop him or or try and trade him quite yet.

577
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: But we'll see, we'll see how it bears out in

578
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. He found Davante Adams in the

579
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: end zone though, why god, for the second time, I know,

580
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: I know, I think Davante Adams has to have more

581
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: Fantasy points at random cop. No, yeah, oh yeah, at

582
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 1: least gross Uh. That depresses me. That depresses Carlos High

583
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,160
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty Niner hundred had five rushy yards two

584
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns back on track. No, both his touchdowns are

585
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. So I don't know any game

586
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: that in a game that had long been decided. Yeah, um,

587
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: right now. Yesterday Blaine Gabbett was awful. So bad yesterday.

588
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, yes, he has been awful for a while,

589
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: but he was particularly awful on Sunday. And until until

590
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: the Niners show some ability to mount some sort of

591
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: downfield passing threat, it's going to continue to be a

592
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: slog for Carlos Hide. And so he'll have he'll get

593
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: his touches, and he may find the end zone every

594
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: once in a great while. But these these performances are

595
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: going to be so inconsistent and so hard to come

596
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 1: by that it's it's you're really gonna have to pick

597
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: and choose where you start Carlos Hyde, and I'll tell

598
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: you what where you drafted him. You're very happy with

599
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: his production thus far? No who had a three games

600
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: he's been he's been lights out. But I'm sure the

601
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: majority of people who owned him benched him in Week

602
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: three against Seattle because on paper, it was a horrible matchup,

603
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: which was quite frankly that there was the correct move.

604
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do there? Right? At least there

605
00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: were three quarters you were you were thinking, okay, thank

606
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: god I sat Carlos Hide. Yeah, and then fourth quarter happened. Yeah,

607
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, um man, you know, I'll tell you

608
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: what I get. I get the concern, long term concern.

609
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: But the fact, I think the thing that I take

610
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: away from this is the fact that even though they

611
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: were getting absolutely blown out and destroyed, Chip Kelly wanted

612
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: to stay with it because I think he wanted to

613
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 1: build on the second half, or at least build reps

614
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: and and and for him, obviously it's all about the

615
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: offense and the fact that his team could get reps

616
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: no matter how they do it, get the time and

617
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: get the flow going. I don't know. To me, it's

618
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: it's an encouraging sign that even if they are going

619
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: to get blown out, Carlos Hide is still going to

620
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: stay in that ball game and continue to rack up points.

621
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: We talked about all the time, garbage time points are

622
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: still points. Carlos Hyde might be a guy that gets

623
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: garbage time points. As the season wears on. I think that,

624
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: like if you own Carlos Hide, it's essentially what we

625
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: just talked about with Todd Gurley, Like you're gonna ta

626
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: to take a bunch of l's like you took in

627
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: week two when they played the Panthers, but then there

628
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: are gonna be weeks like this because he sees a

629
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: ton of volume in a bad offense that he's gonna

630
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 1: get into the end zone every once. I mean we

631
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: talked about this a couple of weeks ago, where so

632
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: much of fantasy is like hindsight analysis of like, oh,

633
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: this guy had a good day, but it's only because

634
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: he popped into the end zone by accident once or twice.

635
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: And accident I meaniate that's what they're trying to do,

636
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: but it becomes such an analysis of that instead of

637
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: like how the actual game flows. But I think you're

638
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: gonna have like just big up and down weeks with him.

639
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: I don't disagree, but like I said, the fact I

640
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: like the fact that he has at least the potential

641
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: to get me well, just just the fact that, like

642
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: I said, like you're taking those elves from Todd Gurley,

643
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: who was a top five pick but was like a

644
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: fourth round pick. So I think you baked some of

645
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: that into what you were expecting. Can I asked this,

646
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: I never even thought about this. Who would you rather

647
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: have moving forward today? Carlos Hide or Todd Gurley? Oh? Man,

648
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: h but I think I think they're literally the same proposition.

649
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: I couldn't. I honestly was like, it is a coin

650
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: flip for me. Isn't that crazy? Though? It's a coin

651
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: flip that's insane to think about today. By the way,

652
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: they're only three weeks in. This is a total non

653
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: secutor about something funny. I just realized as I was

654
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: preparing for the future. Ryan Tannehill still leads the Dolphins

655
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: in rushing after three weeks. Oh yeah, gross? Is that true?

656
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: Fifty four yards? He leads the team with fifty four yards.

657
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Drake has forty nine fosters forty seven forty two. So

658
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: you're so, what you're saying is that on one play

659
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Richard would be the leading rusher for the Dolphins

660
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: if you played for them. That is correct? Are you is?

661
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: I could not make this up if I tried. Wow, Oh,

662
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: because if I had done that, and it was like,

663
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: is that a funny jokey like, that's not that's that's

664
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: not funny. Oh my god, it's awful. Uh, t Y

665
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: Hilton a hundred and seventy four yards and a touchdown.

666
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: It's the first double digit fantasy game of the year

667
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: for t Y Hilton. Is he back or not? I

668
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: mean I think so, but I think again, he's going

669
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 1: to be subject to some level of volatility um in

670
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: this offense. But uh, now with no mon Creef for

671
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 1: an extended period of time, you know, in Philip Door

672
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: said being somewhat inconsistent, then yeah, things are looking up

673
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: for t Y Hilton. But you don't think that he's

674
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: not going to be immune to the three point four

675
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: point games sometimes in the future. I mean, I think

676
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. But a long term I'm not particularly

677
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: worried about him. I think, uh, people look at the

678
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: stat line and say, my god, seventy four saving yards

679
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. I mean, how much of that came

680
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: on that Apps Fluke defensive breakdown at the end of

681
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: that game? Sixty three yards in the touch Yeah, I

682
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: mean he was still having a good game though before that.

683
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 1: That's interesting because man, to me, it just felt like

684
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: the most unimpactful hundred yard receiving game, uh for for

685
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. I mean he won the game. No, no, no, no,

686
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying up to that before that, before I guess,

687
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: I guess I see what you're what you're saying there. No,

688
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean that makes sense. But I think the encouraging

689
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 1: thing is with moncreef out, it really does become Hilton

690
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: is the clear one. Whereas I thought they were like

691
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: one A and one B beforehand, and the snap count

692
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: well with Moncrief that they became kind of that, especially

693
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: like they played of the snaps in Week one. But

694
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: then this week what we were kind of expecting was

695
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: them to go back to a two tight end offense,

696
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: and that's exactly what happened. Dorsets snaps only rose from

697
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: eighty four to eight nine, but they played three tight

698
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: end sets, are two tight end sets on thirty of

699
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: their plays and only two or three wide receivers on

700
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: your jack, your boy jack his snap. His snap count

701
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: has gone up from fifty six to sixty two to

702
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: seventy five. Last week we had a lot of bad penalties,

703
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: which was not great, but I will say this, I

704
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: thought he played well when he got the opportunity. I mean,

705
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: here's the thing about penalties. Right now, he has as

706
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: many targets, more yards, more catches, and more touchdowns than

707
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: Dwayne Allen. And this is frustrating for Dwayne Allen owners. Yo,

708
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: because off season we heard like the Dwyne Allen reside

709
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: with the team, because Rodzinsky was like, this is gonna

710
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: be your offense. You're the guy, we love you, you you

711
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: can do everything. And it's like sweet Kobe, stupid fleaner

712
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,439
Speaker 1: has gone it's gonna be Dwyne Allen and now nope,

713
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: it's Rainbow six over there making play after pla. Yeah,

714
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: I love it that Like exactly what happened was he goes, yeah,

715
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: don't worry, Dwayne, We're gonna give you a bigger role.

716
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 1: Looks over, check nore not. It's great, alright. Emmanuel Sanders

717
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: a hundred seventeen receiving yards and two touchdowns. I listen,

718
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: there was nobody that saw this coming. There's just no way,

719
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: not a single person. One seventeen and two touches. Come on,

720
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: Where did this come from? Is he back on track

721
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: or no? I am skeptical. He's been getting a lot

722
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 1: of targets but this was the first game where a

723
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: team actually like squatted on the short routes and said, hey,

724
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeons, beat us deep, and he actually went okay

725
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: and and did repeatedly. Uh, this was like the most

726
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: fun way he's thrown down field. So that was really interesting.

727
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: But my what I'm gonna be curious to see is

728
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: if this is more of the Trevor Simmons we should

729
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: expect moving forward, or if it's the guy that threw

730
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: one touchdown in three interceptions over his first two games.

731
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 1: So I'm not getting terribly excited or over the moon

732
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: about this performance, but it is encouraging to at least

733
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: see that this is a possible outcome for the Denver offense.

734
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 1: The Broncos schedule coming up is so good too. They

735
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: are at Tampa Bay, at home against Atlanta, at San Diego,

736
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: They play Houston in week seven at home against San Diego,

737
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: and week gate at Oakland and then at New Orleans

738
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: in weeks nine. That's that's a dope past. That's pretty

739
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: nuts for for Damarius Thomas, Manny Sanders and Simeon. But

740
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: here can I at least um I hate to do it,

741
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: but let let me at least inject a little bit

742
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: of skepticism and not that not that I necessarily buy it,

743
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: but I'll play devil's advocate. Okay, Um, those matchups are

744
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: soft defensive schedules, It's no question about it. But this

745
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: is a team that wants to run. Couldn't it be

746
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 1: more that C. J. Anderson just goes bananas in those

747
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: in those games and not the receivers. Yeah, I can

748
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: see that. I mean, no question. This is what I've

749
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: been kind of saying about these receivers even dating back

750
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: to drafts. Like, I think they both Sanders and Thomas,

751
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: but it appears that Sanders has overtaken Thomas for the

752
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: number one role. He's yeah, he's been the target leader

753
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,840
Speaker 1: pretty much this entire season. But both of these guys

754
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 1: have really safe floors because they see such a big

755
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 1: volume of their offense, especially this week, Virgil Green didn't

756
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: I mean do they though? I mean sometimes, well, they

757
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: see it. They see a huge volume within their own offense.

758
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: But to your point, I think, like when they run

759
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: the ball, they play good defense, that huge volume of

760
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: their own offenses like seven to eight targets, but which

761
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: isn't great. But again, that's like that's a pretty safe floor.

762
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 1: But as Leal Hard was saying, just simme and showing

763
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: that he can throw downfield. He averaged eight point six

764
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: for his depth of throws this week, if closed to

765
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 1: six point six in the first two weeks combined, and

766
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 1: I tweeted out his next gen stats passing chart as well.

767
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: Just him showing that he can test downfield is pretty

768
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: huge to know. These guys do have a tangible ceiling.

769
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 1: And we talked about practice all time, but I mean,

770
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: here's the thing. He's essentially a rookie, right U. The

771
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: fact that he's maybe developing his passing skills, I think

772
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: that's encouraging, is encouraging. Arguing against myself, of course, I mean,

773
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 1: I don't know how much they're gonna trust him to

774
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: be the downfield passer going forward. But this was a

775
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: situation where the Bengals decided they were going to take

776
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: away c J. Anderson and they forced sime in them

777
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:54,240
Speaker 1: to make those throws. So I guess the the upside

778
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: is it helps c. J. Anderson because now teams are

779
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: going to be a little more hesitant to stack the

780
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 1: box against the very good point, all right, Jimmy Graham,

781
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: how about this hundred yards receiving. How long has it

782
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: been since Jimmy Graham got a hundred yards receiving, hundred

783
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: yards receiving and one touchdown For Jimmy Graham, it has

784
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: been Did he have one last year in his first

785
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: because I think like his big games were, oh he

786
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: got seventy seven yards sick. No, I don't think he

787
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: got on you last year on internet, moving slowly the analysis,

788
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: I'll find it. But is he back or no? I

789
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: am encouraged. I really am encouraged. And part of why

790
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: I'm encouraged is, um, by the way, he did have

791
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 1: one last year against the Panthers. Of course it catches

792
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: one forty no touchdowns, But um, why I am encouraged

793
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: is part of what I heard from bar Baja Biamila,

794
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: who was in Seattle at that game on Sunday, and

795
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: he said, just watching it, it looks like Jimmy Graham

796
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: has figured out how to be more comfort rble when

797
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson goes into his scramble drill. And that was

798
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 1: I thought the big thing holding him back last years,

799
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: that he just didn't quite know how to work with that.

800
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: That's not what Drew Brees did I mean, he's would

801
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: stand in the pocket and deliver the football. With Russell Wilson,

802
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 1: you gotta be aware that he's going to get out

803
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: of that pocket. He's gonna extend the play. And I

804
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: don't know that Graham quite knew how to cope with that.

805
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: But if what we saw yesterday is any indication, and

806
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: if what Akbar said he saw is any indication, if

807
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: he's more comfortable with that scramble drill, then he's gonna

808
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: start to see a lot more targets and he's gonna

809
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,240
Speaker 1: look closer to the Jimmy Graham we remember. Not only

810
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: that like, it also takes I think an adjustment on

811
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 1: Wilson's end too, because you know, Wilson is used to

812
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,839
Speaker 1: with like working with all these little receivers that are

813
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 1: good at getting separation and timely and all that. But

814
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: you know, Jimmy Graham's just a big target. You just

815
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: have to throw it up to him. And I don't

816
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: think that Wilson really ever played that way through the

817
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: early part of his career, So I think both of

818
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: them needed that adjustment. Mike Nolan pointed that out on

819
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: the Yeah, I'm just stealing from from Mike Nolan who

820
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: was on the day blitz couch at the same time

821
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: time as me. So he made the point that like,

822
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 1: not only is that level of an adjustment, but it's

823
00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 1: also on Wilson's end as well. And listen, if Jimmy

824
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: Graham is back, that's a big deal for this offense.

825
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 1: That does have Doug Baldwin, that does have Tyler Lockett,

826
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: who is dealing with injury right now. He only played

827
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: twenty three snaps. I think he was in a boot

828
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 1: all game two or at least in embrace, so he's

829
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: not completely healthy. Everybody's kind of on a tenuous status

830
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 1: right now in this all offense except uh Sea Woke

831
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: and Doug Baldwin pretty much. But it's a big difference.

832
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: It also does kind of damper Tyler Lockins hopes for sure,

833
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: Like I think if Graham is back, that's a big,

834
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: big negative for him. But but the point being whole

835
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:39,919
Speaker 1: offense right now, if Wilson can get healthy, this should

836
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: be dangerous. Yeah. What I liked about Graham was just

837
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: to see that he seemed confident in that need to.

838
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: Many of his catches were going up beasting guys for

839
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: contested catches, which is part of that getting comfortable with

840
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,720
Speaker 1: Wilson and Wilson getting comfortable in him. But he looked

841
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,399
Speaker 1: like the dominant physical guy we saw for those years

842
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,320
Speaker 1: in New Orleans. So that was that was very encouraging

843
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:59,280
Speaker 1: to see from him. To nine targets for Jimmy Graham,

844
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: that's a lot. Thirty percent of the team targets to

845
00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 1: that is a lot. Alright, let's talk about your biggest

846
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: disappointments from the week. Kelvin Benjamin a big fat zero.

847
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: I think he had one target and it wasn't until

848
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: late in the fourth I don't why, how does that happen? Um?

849
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: What do we make of the performance. So here's why

850
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 1: I think it happened. And this came from Captain Munterlin,

851
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: who was the Panther slot corner now the Vikings slot corner. Uh.

852
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,000
Speaker 1: They were asking this is pretty great. They were asking

853
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: him about preventing Kevin Kelvin Benjamin Devin Funches from making

854
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 1: any catches today. Manerlin replied, I don't know what we did.

855
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: I think we just knew where Benjamin was the whole time. Funches.

856
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: We weren't worried about him. It was Calvin Benjamin. I'm

857
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: just gonna be honest me personally, and I never talked

858
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,240
Speaker 1: like this, but I don't think he's that good. Number seventeen.

859
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: We really weren't worried about Maybe we were. We were

860
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: worried about Benjamin ted Ginn and Corey Brown. We knew

861
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: they were getting the ball receiving well. So I mean,

862
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think of the point of that. While

863
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: it is like, oh my god, Captain, tell us how

864
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: you really feel he's just not that good? Uh. But

865
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: but for Benjamin, I think that was the clear focus was.

866
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 1: And I went back and watched some of this game

867
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: before I went to bed last night, just it did

868
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: look like they dedicated some extra resources to Benjamin. Haven't

869
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: Xavier Rhodes Back was nice too. I didn't think he

870
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: was going to play me neither. I didn't expect that

871
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: to play either, but he's a big difference maker. I

872
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: think another lesson from this game is just start the

873
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: Vikings defense against Last week put up points against Green Bay,

874
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: and we think twice about starting your guys against the Vikings.

875
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: You take that into consideration, at least on the road

876
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: in Carolina. That's really damn impressive because the Panthers have

877
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 1: been lights out at home the last two years. Really yeah, man,

878
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: what they forced three interceptions out of camp eight sacks sacks,

879
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: which is another reason that Benjamin Blank to that's crazy.

880
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: There was a play where Danielle Hunter, who's a really

881
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: emerging defensive end for the just put Michael Or on

882
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: the ground and and I'm like the whole time because

883
00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: I follow a bunch of Panthers fans obviously because I'm

884
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 1: not really a fan, but sort of, uh, and there's

885
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: just all that, like, all of them just at the

886
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 1: same time, tweeted Michael Or contract extension. Um. How about

887
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick in this whole Jets offense, Ryan Fitzpatrick passing yards?

888
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: I could not believe. I saw this stat line six

889
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 1: interceptions that ever, he completed more passes to the Kansas

890
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,280
Speaker 1: City defense than he completed to Eric Decker and Brandon

891
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 1: Marshall combined. Actually the same amount if you include mad Forte.

892
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: It was oh good, Yeah, it makes me feel like

893
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: what happened? This is just what we have to expect

894
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: with Ryan Fitzpatrick, is he has I mean, he has

895
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: these bad games. This one was particularly bad because two

896
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: or three of those interceptions came off of tipped throws,

897
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: which is like, I mean, he put the ball in

898
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 1: that position to get tipped and go to somebody else.

899
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: But like, those aren't always going to fall in the

900
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 1: hands of the opponent. You have to take the good

901
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: with the bad. With Fitzpatrick, it's just who he is.

902
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: Two fumbles to last week he was fits magic. This

903
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: week he was fits tragic. There we go by the way.

904
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,240
Speaker 1: You know, Aaron Rodgers does a great job protecting that football,

905
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: which is why why so many of us love him

906
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: in the real life game and in fantasy as well.

907
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: You know, I go back to his career stats. Uh,

908
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 1: let's see here one to three. Uh, like there's been

909
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 1: like five or six years where he's had six interceptions

910
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:35,400
Speaker 1: or less on the season. Yes, different different quarterbacks. But

911
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: I think if if you're rolling with Bryan Fitzpatrick, you

912
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: just always have to be aware that this is a

913
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: potential outcome. Did he end up with negative Fantasy negative

914
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: two points? Oh my yeah, even in a potentially good matchup,

915
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: this this is always a possible outcome. You could have

916
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: started me and you do that better production. Yeah, the

917
00:44:52,200 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 1: guy that drafted you, James co maybe you could have

918
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: absolutely I like it. Carson Palmer against Buffalo to eight

919
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 1: seven through the air in four Holy hell. Watching watching

920
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: this game on Sunday, it felt a lot of I mean,

921
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: it felt like I was watching the same quarterback as

922
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,160
Speaker 1: the one that was chucking picks against the Jets, like Palmer,

923
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: it looked like he was just trying to do it,

924
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: which obviously he was not. But at the same time,

925
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,719
Speaker 1: like Palmer can get into those modes too, where he's

926
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: just forcing the ball, and that was clearly what was

927
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: happening against you know, a Bill's defense that is undermanned,

928
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: uh much more than we expect to go into the season,

929
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: but does have some talent in the secondary. Well, I

930
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: think now the onus is on Arizona to change what

931
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: they do because we have seen at least twice this season. Now.

932
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: We saw it with the Patriots, and I think we

933
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: saw it again with the Bills, that teams are going

934
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 1: to try and take away the deep ball, they're going

935
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: to just keep everything in front of them and forced

936
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 1: the Cardinals to try to be more patient with their

937
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: passing game, and those two losses they certainly haven't been.

938
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,320
Speaker 1: They've tried to force the issue down field, and certainly

939
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: on Sunday you you saw every time, you know, car

940
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,479
Speaker 1: Car and Palmer, We're trying to go deep to John

941
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: Brown or somebody. The receiver was always bracketed by a

942
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: couple of defenders. So now the onus is going to

943
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: be on the Cardinals to figure something out. And maybe

944
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: this means more Larry Fitzgerald. I'm hoping it means more

945
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 1: David Johnson, because I'm all about that life. Um. But

946
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 1: they can't keep doing the same thing and expecting that

947
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: they're going to be successful because teams just aren't going

948
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,759
Speaker 1: to allow that. And they're they're two best down. Like

949
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: their downfield receiver is Michael Floyd. I know people think

950
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 1: it's John Brown, but Floyd has not played well. I am,

951
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: I am. I'm at witson with Michael pocol is he

952
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: because I know he was during the game. He got

953
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: cleared in the game, but he had headaches again this morning.

954
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: I saw that this African protocol. But I mean either way,

955
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: like the week one, Week two were disaster games for him.

956
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: He's not getting open downfield or underneath. So and they

957
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: did start to involve John Brown Moore, he saw eleven targets,

958
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: caught six for seventy yards only still played about fifty

959
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,959
Speaker 1: seven percent of the snaps, but he's the better route

960
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: runner underneath and everything. I think they need to start

961
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: getting guys like Brown, Fitz, Jered World and and Johnson

962
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:04,839
Speaker 1: to be the engines of the offense because Palmer too

963
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: right now, like I'm not ready to say he's finished,

964
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 1: but he's teetering closer to the end than he is

965
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 1: what we saw earlier in two thousand, real quick. I

966
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: said this on NFL Now yesterday. I think if he

967
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 1: has a solid game against the Rams, you might want

968
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: to try and flip him for something because Palmer, Yeah,

969
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: you can get a lot of good production off the

970
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,400
Speaker 1: waiver wire from quarterbacks by by streaming, playing the matchups,

971
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: or even just picking up somebody that's not gonna potentially

972
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: have these big els because he's still a big name,

973
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: and you know he's got a big arm, he's got

974
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: all those weapons. But if you if somebody's quarterback needie,

975
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: you might be able to flip them before. On top

976
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,359
Speaker 1: of it, look at the schedule for him over the

977
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: next several weeks. Next week is the Rams, then they're

978
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: at the Niners, Jets, Seahawks at the Panthers, Niners again,

979
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: and Vikings mixed bag. It's a mixed bag, but it's

980
00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,399
Speaker 1: more bad than good. But it's a Galard's point. There's

981
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 1: some real like potential land mines like the Panthers, the Seahawks,

982
00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 1: the bike where we're I mean, you're gonna view Palmer

983
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 1: streaming quarterback. And then there's two games against Oh yeah,

984
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: of course. My other takeaway here is even in a blowout,

985
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,959
Speaker 1: David Johnson was RB one in Fantasy two touchdowns again,

986
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: he touchdowns a hundred eleven yards twenty two touches Like

987
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: he's he moved this offense and he's the number one

988
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: running back after three weeks in Fantasy football. Yeah, And

989
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean it goes back to what we're talking about

990
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: with why Gurley and Hide are are risky bets and

991
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: why Johnson is a good bet, because even when this

992
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,720
Speaker 1: offense is a disaster, there's still a pretty good offense.

993
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: Are going to move the ball, They still have the

994
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 1: threats down field to open up the box, and he's

995
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: a passing game threat himself. Big on the road continues

996
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,719
Speaker 1: to be a conundrum at Philadelphia, a tremendous matchup. At

997
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:46,399
Speaker 1: least on paper, he looked bad two d fifty seven

998
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 1: yards of the air, two turnovers for big Ben. I

999
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: don't really understand what the road problems are with big Ben,

1000
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,439
Speaker 1: but the splits even going, I mean, really the last

1001
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: couple of years has been pretty dramatic. Uh And I

1002
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: don't know for me big Ben and I hate saying

1003
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: it like this, but it's like on the road. I

1004
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 1: know it doesn't really make any football sense, but I

1005
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: have some serious hesitations about playing Big Ben on the road. Look, Philadelphia,

1006
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: this was supposed to be a great match up for

1007
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,399
Speaker 1: the passing game, and quite frankly, I just thought big

1008
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: Ben was off. I feel like though, and maybe not

1009
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: to this extreme, but this is what we kind of

1010
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: started to get worried about in the preseason. You know,

1011
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: once you know, knowing that Martevios Bryant was suspended, and

1012
00:49:31,040 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: then once Ladarius Green was was down with injury, I

1013
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: think we all kind of got a little bit concerned

1014
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,839
Speaker 1: about what Ben's future and what his production was going

1015
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: to be. I think yesterday was certainly way lower than

1016
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: anybody would have predicted. But but I mean I thought

1017
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: this was sort of built into him falling on a

1018
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: lot of draft boards this season. To a good point,

1019
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: all right, we'll stay in the same game. Excuse me

1020
00:49:56,040 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 1: as I take a sip of my protein shaker. D'angela williamsto, Yeah,

1021
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams total yards, Leve Bell comes back now with

1022
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:11,000
Speaker 1: de'angelo Williams, you put him on the bench. Tomlin already

1023
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: came out and said, I think it was after the

1024
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: game or in the next day press conference, He's like,

1025
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,320
Speaker 1: left Bell will start like, there's no there's no easing

1026
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 1: him back. It's gonna be all systems go when they

1027
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 1: get him back in and they need him, Like Marcus said,

1028
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: you know, we're getting worried about the stuff with Big Ben.

1029
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:26,760
Speaker 1: In this offense, it's lacking playmakers outside of Brown. Williams

1030
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 1: did did a fine job, but I thought he looked good.

1031
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: Let's not split hairs. He's not left Bell when left

1032
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: at the top of his game, and it's it's just

1033
00:50:33,480 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: you know, again, general offensive effectiveness having an effect on

1034
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: the running back position this offense right now. I think

1035
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: this was the first game at least of that I

1036
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 1: watched of them where I really felt like the lack

1037
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: of Mark Tavis Bryant showed up. What that that other threat?

1038
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean, Eli Rodgers left the game with an injury.

1039
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't rember what it was. Marcus Wheaton was breaking news.

1040
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 1: Not good Sammy Coats, really he's only still just a

1041
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: big play threat. They're not getting anything consistent from him,

1042
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: and Jesse James is just mostly a big red zone

1043
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: read at tight end. So it's just over all this

1044
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: offenses and as good as it once was. But for me,

1045
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: if I had Namza Williams, I would at least try

1046
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 1: to offer him to the bell owner. If I'm not

1047
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 1: that person already. That's very good point. All right, Let's

1048
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 1: wrap through some of these top performers here, C Mike

1049
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: was there? A hundred eleven total yards, two touchdown? Is

1050
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones, Hello to oh five through the air. That's

1051
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: help in your if you're gonna hit it by November.

1052
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: I believe he leads the NFL and receiving yards right now.

1053
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: Lab two oh five and two touchdowns from Big Marv Jones.

1054
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin, despite working with some injuries really all around

1055
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: him and to himself, a hundred and sixty four receiving

1056
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:40,840
Speaker 1: yards in one touchdown. I gotta ask you, man Terrell prior,

1057
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: he was a top five Fantasy wide receiver this week.

1058
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of Terrell Prior. A

1059
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five receiving and rush yards combined. He

1060
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: had a touchdown rushing and he added thirty five pass

1061
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: yards as well. Is he the real deal? I said

1062
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: on Fantasy He Live Today that Turell Prior on Sunday

1063
00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,959
Speaker 1: was sort of like that cartoon where Bugs Bunny plays

1064
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: the gashouse guerrillas and he plays every position on the

1065
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:14,919
Speaker 1: field that he had. He had all of those receiving yards,

1066
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: he had rushing yards, he had the passing yards. He

1067
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: played safety, yes he did. He had a snap and safe.

1068
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:24,279
Speaker 1: He had a snap at safety. He did everything, um

1069
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: except kick field goals, which he probably should have done.

1070
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: That he would have made it, should have tried it.

1071
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,680
Speaker 1: I am very curious to go back and watch him

1072
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: more on film uh this week. But you know, obviously

1073
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 1: he's an athletic freak, and I think they're going to

1074
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,879
Speaker 1: give him every opportunity to be a playmaker. I had

1075
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 1: written that you should not stash Tarrell Prior because I

1076
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 1: think he had a He had a thirty five percent

1077
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 1: career catch rate, which is that's just bad, not good.

1078
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,760
Speaker 1: It's really bad. Uh, And it was, and it's actually

1079
00:52:55,760 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: worse this year. Before this game, he was, um, and

1080
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: I I was saying, Hey, he's gonna be playing with

1081
00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 1: Cody Kessler. You can't add this guy. I don't, I

1082
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: don't see the upside. I was super wrong. I was

1083
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: super wrong. Um. I think I was just gonna say,

1084
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 1: I think you might have been making the same point,

1085
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:14,319
Speaker 1: becuse I was gonna say. This is what Harmon has

1086
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: said before, and he kind of did research on this offseason,

1087
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 1: is that oftentimes targets can trump bad quarterback or like

1088
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: even average player sometime and he's got he got pummeled

1089
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: with targets and opportunities, so he made the most of them.

1090
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: And that could probably be the case again this week

1091
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: because no Corey Coleman still in Josh Gordon doesn't come back.

1092
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I was. I was gonna say

1093
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: that for for Terrell prior, like you mentioned his career catch, right,

1094
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: and I think that's a good point to bring up,

1095
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: especially because he's transitioning. But what they were doing with

1096
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: him before this week was just pretty much using him

1097
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: strictly as a deep bread like so that can also

1098
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 1: lower your catch right as well. I mean, still in

1099
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: the thirties is not good. But if you look like

1100
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,399
Speaker 1: I tweeted out his next gent stats route chart as well,

1101
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,879
Speaker 1: the passing and the rushing, which is fun. Uh, there's

1102
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 1: a lot of like more underneath routes, some slants, some crossers,

1103
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 1: even some out and comeback routes as well. So that's

1104
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 1: good to see for Prior that if he's rounding his

1105
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: game into a more full perspective, then he can have

1106
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: a bit more of a floor with him. But I

1107
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: mean it's hard to understate how good he was. I mean,

1108
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: he was tremendous on Sundays. The volume is going to

1109
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: be a question because, like you said, Gordon and Coleman,

1110
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: is this Cordelle Steward? Maybe, but at least for one week,

1111
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: I think he's worth a flex shot. Yeah, definitely. But

1112
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,919
Speaker 1: also let's remember he was playing the Dolphins secondary, which

1113
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 1: might be one of the worst units, and he got

1114
00:54:28,760 --> 00:54:32,240
Speaker 1: a much bigger test against Norman. And when Josh Gordon

1115
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: gets back, I want to see Turell Prior to throw

1116
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 1: a touchdown past him. Hell yeah, it's gonna be sick.

1117
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: That would be interesting, alright, And Cody Castle kind of

1118
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: good too. I mean he looked fine. He didn't you

1119
00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: didn't you? Sorry? Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to say

1120
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: he looked good. I mean I meant to say he

1121
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: didn't look like a disaster quarter committee. He looked like

1122
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: he could could play in this league. Right, Okay, that's

1123
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,400
Speaker 1: that's much. I said. Good, and I mean it was

1124
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: like incorrect. I went out the wrongs not compute all right.

1125
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: At the running back position, Zeke Elliot hundred forty rush

1126
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: yards receiving, he had four point seven yards per carry,

1127
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: which is nice. Uh. Shady McCoy a hundred and ten rush,

1128
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. He's been touchdown starving, but Shady got two

1129
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 1: touchdowns on Sunday, so that was good to see. David

1130
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: Johnson we mentioned briefly over a hundred uh combined yards

1131
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: eighty three on the ground, twenty eight receiving, two touchdowns

1132
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 1: for him from the tight end position. How about Zach

1133
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,440
Speaker 1: Miller for Chicago in the late game, Buddy, seventy eight

1134
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. I think it's real quick. It's

1135
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 1: interesting about him. Yeah, we might need to watch if

1136
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: Hoyer plays again, because Miller had nine targets in this game.

1137
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: He got pounded he had nine total in his two

1138
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: games before interesting who had targets. He just kept hurling

1139
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 1: up the sideline to White. It was weird. I didn't

1140
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:56,479
Speaker 1: get it. I didn't get it at all. I thought

1141
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: that he was gonna just pound out Jan Jeffrey with

1142
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: those targets. Nope, it was third on the team and target,

1143
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: which was not great. I don't feel good about that. No,

1144
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: I didn't either. How about Tampa Breakpapa Break. I mean,

1145
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: he's the whole team basically back there, Tampa Break Baby,

1146
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: forty six yards to touchdowns and targets to Winston was

1147
00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: going to him early and off in that rapport we

1148
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: heard about and that I talked about him this very

1149
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: podcast this offseason at him. He played good of the

1150
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: snaps two and the only other tight end to play

1151
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: was Brandon Myers with forty six, so that like tight

1152
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: end committee lost the body in Austin's ferrying Jenkins and

1153
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: he was right by the way is with the Jets now.

1154
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:39,439
Speaker 1: So he's irrelevant, not gonna beat up Quincy Neon Hill

1155
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: already better tight end Cameron brad If he's there, go

1156
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,560
Speaker 1: get him man. I like him a lot. Trevor Simmey

1157
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: and from the quarterback position now yards four touchdowns. Matthew

1158
00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 1: Stafford continuing this pace. We told you he was going

1159
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,759
Speaker 1: to be a top ten fantasy quarterback. I think I

1160
00:56:57,840 --> 00:56:59,680
Speaker 1: came out and it said he could be a top

1161
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 1: five of guy given Jim Bob Cooters pace of play here,

1162
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: but three eight five through the air, three touchdowns for him,

1163
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: and then famous Jamis Winston four oh five through the

1164
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: air and three touchdowns as well. His development as a

1165
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:17,320
Speaker 1: quarterback continues. He looks good except for that last play

1166
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 1: that that was what was that? That was far? He

1167
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: just completely forgot on the field where he was. Somebody

1168
00:57:25,880 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: was coming behind that too. I don't I don't understand.

1169
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: He has like brain farts like that. Even going back

1170
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: to that that semi final game against Story, What do

1171
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: you what do you do one man? I don't get that. Yeah,

1172
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: my god, yeah, I don't know. That's a great memes

1173
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: though it did. It did. Peak internet was when they

1174
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: had the Lance Stevenson like blow him over because I

1175
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: was around the same time he was doing the ears.

1176
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:55,439
Speaker 1: Look at you actually dropping an NBA player. That's more.

1177
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: That's more because he was on the internet on Twitter.

1178
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: Let's get to Alex k are the wisket from Wisconsin's

1179
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: top waiver wire ads. Why Dwayne Washington well from the

1180
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: goat or one, he's the goat. He looks good. He

1181
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: averaged three point eight yards per carry against the Packers,

1182
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: while every other running back to face them as average

1183
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 1: one point seven. Right, he had the vast majority of

1184
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: his snaps and carries come out of traditional running formations

1185
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,479
Speaker 1: like I form, single back pistol, whereas Riddicks still played

1186
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: predominant early, predominantly in shotgun. So I think as soon

1187
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: as this this offense gets adjusted, he gets those more

1188
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: first team reps. He is going to be the primary

1189
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 1: early down rusher, big fast, good back with some good cuts,

1190
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,760
Speaker 1: some good vision, Harmon and franchise. Oh well, if he's

1191
00:58:35,760 --> 00:58:38,560
Speaker 1: got good vision, but I think he's he's also running

1192
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 1: back attached to a good good to a good offense

1193
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: goal line prowess. So he's he's a guy you should

1194
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: definitely prioritize over McKinnon or Howard or any of those

1195
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: other scrubs from like Caroline. He was going to get

1196
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 1: the extra point five points for vision? Can I get

1197
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: points for visions? Point per points per good vision, which

1198
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: everybody knows what we're running long. I'm gonna eased through

1199
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 1: a couple of these. Here you can read all of

1200
00:59:01,640 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: my waiver wire picks. I think I've covered thirty five

1201
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: guys so far. But NFL dot com slash NFL dot

1202
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: com slash waivers NFL dot com slash deep dive in

1203
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: deep dive, Kenneth Dixon's a guy to maybe scoop up

1204
00:59:13,360 --> 00:59:16,919
Speaker 1: right now? Uh God, Terrence back on the Kenneth Dixon

1205
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: training Terence West. Terrence West's four or five yards last week,

1206
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 1: we're the most by Baltimore running back. The Ravens running

1207
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: backs are such trash right now. They're they're not great.

1208
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: They could turn it over to their young rookie who's

1209
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:32,760
Speaker 1: dynamic in space, who can catch passes? Does he have good? Ok?

1210
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: He does have good? What about his burst? I like?

1211
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,320
Speaker 1: I like his birth? There you go? Are you sold me?

1212
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: Jameson Jamison Crowder is a guy now that we kind

1213
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: of can't ignore anymore. As Harmon said to me, and

1214
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 1: I had noted this morning too, he's leading the NFL

1215
00:59:48,040 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: and red zone targets. Are you sure this isn't a typo?

1216
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: Jamis has even watching the games. I'm like, yeah, Jesus,

1217
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,480
Speaker 1: it seems like, oh, Jamison crowd is getting a lot

1218
00:59:58,480 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 1: of red zone targets on a team that has Jordan

1219
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 1: freaking Read. And then this morning when Pro Football Reference

1220
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 1: Update and I looked at it was like, Yep, he's

1221
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: number one. Okay, wow, uh so he's he's somebody, and

1222
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: he's not gonna have He's got to do a lot

1223
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:12,440
Speaker 1: of work after the catch or catch one of those

1224
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: red zone targets to really like hit his ceiling for you.

1225
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: But he's a safe floor guy because he's just getting

1226
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: pummeled with targets from he must be owned, especially in

1227
01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: PPR leagues. I think he's a flex player. Speaking of

1228
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: PPR leagues, Cole Beasley is available in a ton of

1229
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 1: leagues and he's averaging thirteen point seven PPR points a game.

1230
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:30,400
Speaker 1: He's had at least five catches and sixty five yards

1231
01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: in every game looking his way. God loves him. It's ridiculous.

1232
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: Another another PPR guy, Adam Humphries, is kind of quietly emerging,

1233
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: is the number two, and yeah, he's second on the

1234
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: team and targets, catches and yards. He's yeah, you know,

1235
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 1: and he's yeah, James obviously real quick James. You're talking

1236
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:54,600
Speaker 1: about catch rates. Jackson right now rocking about at catch

1237
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: rates targets this year he's caught nine. Real bad. That's

1238
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: real bad. He's done. It's been a good tight tight

1239
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: end wise, we mentioned Cameron Bright h Kyle Rudolph is

1240
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: getting a lot of targets from Sam Bradford and a

1241
01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: lot of high value targets in the red zone, as

1242
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: is Eric Ebron. He was nicked up this week against

1243
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: the Packers. I otherwise think he would have had an

1244
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: even bigger game. Uh, Carson Wentz, you put him on

1245
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:16,760
Speaker 1: here now. I think it's a good time to look

1246
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: at him. But he's on a bye, so you don't

1247
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: need to rush out and get him a week after

1248
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: his by plays the Lions though, So streaming quarterbacks there

1260
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: But he's changed his image and he cut that off

1261
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,600

1262
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:16,720

Speaker 1: That last Daily deap is for the trailer for Nocturnal Animals.

1284
01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:27,800
Speaker 1: It's the latest film from Tom Ford, who you might

1285
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: recognize the name because he's big into fashion and design

1286
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 1: and things like that, like he needed the suits and

1287
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: things like hey, yeah, he ventured into filmmaking like four

1288
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: or five years ago and made a great movie called

1289
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: A Single Man starring Colin Firth. Fantastic. If you've never

1290
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 1: seen it, go check it out. His new movie, Nocturnal

1291
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: Animals is Amy Adams, the same suit guy. Yep. Really yeah,

1292
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: but it's cool, Like I mean, you think about it,

1293
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: like a lot of directors have come from backgrounds like this,

1294
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: very artistic or design driven backgrounds, like Steve McQueen, who

1295
01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,200
Speaker 1: won the Best Picture for twelve Years of Slave was

1296
01:03:57,240 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: a visual artist before he got into filmmaking, because it

1297
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 1: is still a visual medium and Tom Ford's keen I

1298
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: and artistic sensibilities really came out greatness a single man.

1299
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,000
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for his new movie. But does Nocturnal

1300
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:09,640
Speaker 1: Animals check it out? Does he have a good vision

1301
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: as a film Yes, yes he does. You guys, You

1302
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 1: guys couldn't see Harmond franchise high fiving each other a lot.

1303
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: They high fived over me, which was your welcome? No?

1304
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 1: Uh mgmt Marus Grant, what's going on my daily? BAP

1305
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: goes out to Vince Gully and next next Sunday, the

1306
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: October two is actually officially his final game, but it's

1307
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: on the road. So he had his final game in

1308
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Los Angeles yesterday and really couldn't have been a better

1309
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:46,919
Speaker 1: ending for him. I mean, Charlie Colberson hits his first

1310
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: home run of the year. It's a walk off from

1311
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,560
Speaker 1: the bottom of the tenth to not only win the game,

1312
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 1: but it also locks up the National League West, sends

1313
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 1: it Dodges to the playoffs, and so you know, as

1314
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: the games were winding down, the football games were winding down,

1315
01:04:57,720 --> 01:04:59,760
Speaker 1: I turned on my TV at my desk and watched

1316
01:04:59,800 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: the astanding or so and got to hear Vin call

1317
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 1: the game winning, the division winning home run and look

1318
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: for a lot of us who are in this industry

1319
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: and who got into this industry in the sports capacity. Um,

1320
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to be him. I wanted to be I

1321
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: wanted to be the guy who took over for Vince Scully.

1322
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 1: That was my that was my dream job for a really,

1323
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: really long time. And I think there were a lot

1324
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: of guys who wanted to do or who did or

1325
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: wanted to do what I do, who wanted to be

1326
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 1: even and the dude held onto the job for sixty

1327
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 1: seven years, so he he retired a lot of people

1328
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: just by being so great. And it was amazing to

1329
01:05:36,280 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 1: me great because listening listening to him yesterday, it started

1330
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 1: to finally sink in a little bit that this is it, man, Like,

1331
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, people were crying in the stands. I

1332
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: wanted to cry. And I got in the car and

1333
01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 1: I got in the car and I heard, you know,

1334
01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: him singing wind beneath My Wings, and I got teary

1335
01:05:57,480 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: because this is it, I mean, and this he's not

1336
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 1: been a part of obviously, Los Angeles sports for a

1337
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: long long time, but just American sports in general. By

1338
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 1: the way, trivia fact, the catch, the Dwight Clark catch

1339
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: and attended to two against the cow bol Vin Scully

1340
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: called that game for NBC. He called that game on

1341
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: television for NBC. I believe it was the last football

1342
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,200
Speaker 1: game he ever did, because he said, this is the

1343
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: best game I've ever seen. I'm just gonna leave it

1344
01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 1: at this and I'm gonna walk away. That's amazing. Just

1345
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: I feel like spoiled because coming from Wisconsin, I always

1346
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 1: listening to Bob Uker, who's also a great baseball since

1347
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: I was always like a little biased, like, oh man,

1348
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: you's better. He's funny. He was in major league. But

1349
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 1: then I moved out here and I listened to Vin

1350
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: Scully and there's just nobody better. Yeah. I was googling

1351
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:40,920
Speaker 1: some Vince Scully stuff the other day and I saw

1352
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: a headline where it was a quote from him saying

1353
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: the development of the transistor radio was the big break

1354
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: in his career. But I saw that, I was like, oh,

1355
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: this guy is old. I mean he's been around for

1356
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: a while. I mean when you when you think about it,

1357
01:06:55,800 --> 01:07:00,800
Speaker 1: then ye might be the last link to Brooklyn for

1358
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: this franchise. It's a good point. Good point LA has

1359
01:07:03,480 --> 01:07:06,040
Speaker 1: had such an embarrassment of riches in terms of broadcasters

1360
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: play by play guys. You think about Chicker, do you

1361
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: think about Vince Gully, Bob Miller and even to a

1362
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:13,840
Speaker 1: lesser degree, but I think still equally just as great.

1363
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: Ralph Lawler for the Clippers has been there. Oh me,

1364
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,959
Speaker 1: uh decades and decades, but yeah, no, it's been great,

1365
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: but an embarrassment of riches, certainly here in l A.

1366
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 1: And and I would say those four pillars were also

1367
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:29,959
Speaker 1: to picky back off of what MG is saying, Uh,

1368
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: we're we're driving forces, uh to to that inspired me

1369
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: to pursue the career that I am currently in my

1370
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:41,479
Speaker 1: sports of that real quick though, is um the current

1371
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 1: ownership group of the Dodgers new moment no matter unless

1372
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 1: they win like ten World Series in a row. Yeah,

1373
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:47,680
Speaker 1: part of their legacy will be that they basically took

1374
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:50,919
Speaker 1: vent away from the market for the last two seasons.

1375
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 1: That will be something that they always have to deal with.

1376
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: They've been airing those games on ktl A though, the

1377
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: local station here, which was nice, which is nice. It

1378
01:07:57,120 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 1: was kind of a bone A through but they basically

1379
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 1: took vent away from the market in the last two seasons.

1380
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: In regardless of what happens, that will always be part

1381
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:06,120
Speaker 1: of their legacy. Yeah, that's pretty weak. I'm gonna go here.
