On an overreaction Monday, Fantacy 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:13.680 Best Friends Forever. A wild wild Week one saw a 0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:17.039 ton of injuries. We had five different wide receivers with 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.600 fifteen plus targets in a game, something that didn't happen 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.320 in a single game at all last season. Tyreek Hill 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:28.640 who dren sixty eight all purpose yards, three touchdowns. It 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:33.320 was a wild wild Week one. So we'll be reacting 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.800 to that, obviously overreacting. Well, we'll find out for overreacting 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:41.000 or not. And to do that. Craig Susman, he is 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:45.039 out celebrating the new year. I have my good buddy 0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.840 Fantasy tas Jim Day, Jim, what's going on? Man? Hey, Frank, 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:50.840 thanks for having me on. Looking forward to talking some 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.280 football with you. Did I did I do a good 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:57.040 job of describing how wild the Week one actually was 0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:00.440 to start the show. It was definitely pretty wild and 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.520 you know, very unique in a lot of instances. So 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:06.080 it's gonna be fun to talk about it and just 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.239 try and pick it apart. Yes, So, as I mentioned 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.919 overreaction Monday, I mean, look, there's a very popular thing 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.680 to do. The first Monday after Week one. We have 0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:16.400 a lot to dissect. I mean you might be out 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.080 of your survivor pools already because the New Orleans Saints 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:21.560 got upset by the Tampa Bay Bucks. I had the 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.480 Baltimore Ravens. I think I believe Greg Susman did as well. 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.320 We spoke about that last week Fantasy best Friends Forever. 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.640 We mentioned the Ravens were our survivor picks, and I 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.040 had them in both of them. I didn't try to differentiate. 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:34.640 It didn't go with one Ravens, one Roland Saints. I 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.639 took the Ravens and I stuck with that. Jim, do 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:39.519 you have any Survivor picks this week. I also took 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.320 to Ravens. I agree. I went with one I thought 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.120 was just gonna be an easy pick in week one 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.120 and try not to be too fancy about it. There 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.880 you go, right, It seems so easy to write, because 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.040 when else are you gonna use the Baltimore Ravens. When 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.440 else are you gonna feel that strongly about using the 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:58.079 Ravens at home against Nathan Peterman and the Buffalo Bills 0:02:58.080 --> 0:02:59.760 And they go out there and they know they just 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.079 went forty seven to three, so absolutely wild game. We'll 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.360 get into the good the bad, and as I mentioned 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.280 the Bills because I don't I don't even you can't 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.200 even put them under the category of bad. They were 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:13.960 just they were historically bad. It was atrocious. I'm sorry, 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:16.880 gay Maartcie, if you're still downstairs in the control room, 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.760 I'm crushing the Bills right now, but rightfully so, I 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:20.600 think they deserve it for seven to three. I mean, 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:22.880 what more can you say about that? Before we get 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.160 into some of the overreaction, is the good stuff that happened, 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.760 the bad stuff that happened. Jim's gonna go around and 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.240 discuss some of the injury related news that we have 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:34.840 as of right now. Um start off with Doug Baldwin 0:03:34.960 --> 0:03:37.600 right diagnosed with a right MCL spraining. You know, some 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:39.280 people might try and take this as a good thing. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.680 I don't know how we necessarily frame it as a 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.840 good thing. But the only good part of this is 0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.880 that it's not the same knee that he was dealing 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.600 with in the preseason. He was dealing with his left knee. 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:51.680 But now the bad news is that he now has 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.800 two bum knees and it's only Week one. I like 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:57.920 I I have a feeling that this is just gonna 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:00.120 end up being a washed season for Doug Baldwin. Is 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:02.160 crazy to say, and that's why we're here. Is an 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.920 overreaction on Monday, But like expect from him with two 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.080 bum knees, a guy that didn't have record a single 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.760 reception in Week one against the Broncos. Yes, it was 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.360 a pretty tough match of going up against Chris Harrison 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.800 that secondary. You know, people still, uh they want to 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.000 devalue the the Broncos defense a little bit because they 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.480 lost the keep to leave. But as a Doug Baldwin 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:24.080 owner in multiple leagues, I am very, very worried about 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:26.800 this in week one, Jim Day, No, you have to 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.600 be there's no doubt about it. H you know, an 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.440 mcl sprain is always tough. Uh, probably not looking good 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.640 for him in the week two. He could actually miss 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.400 up to three to four weeks with this sprain, depending 0:04:38.440 --> 0:04:41.480 on what grade it is. But uh, you know, as 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.840 somebody who has a very bad knee, a lot of 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.240 times what happens with one bad knee is that you 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.880 tend to favor the other one and eventually you end 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.760 up putting too much strain on the other one, so 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:53.720 makes that a little weaker as well. This, you know, 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.400 this is definitely something to be concerned with with Baldwin. 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.200 There's no doubt about it. Hopefully it's just a low 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:02.320 grade injury. Maybe comes back in two weeks. I definitely 0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:05.120 don't think we see him in week two, but hopefully 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:09.200 we can see him in week three going forward. Yeah, yeah, 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.799 that's certainly true. And it was. You know, Doug Baldon 0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.719 was like a roller coaster in the preseason, Jim, because 0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:17.960 early on in the draft season, late July early August, 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:20.839 I was trying to get plenty of shares of Doug Baldwin. 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.520 I was very interested in him because all the targets 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.400 that were left behind with no Jimmy Graham leaving behind 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.040 about a hundred targets, Paul Richardson about eighty targets. So 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:31.480 that's a hundred and eighty targets between two players that 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.680 were gone. And in Jimmy Graham, we know what he 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:35.320 did in the red zone last year in terms of 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.760 demanding targets in that area of the field. So I 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.320 was very excited about Doug Baldwin. Then we got the 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.159 knee injury early on in camp and he said, oh, 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.520 I'm gonna be on. I'm good for week one, and 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.320 then towards the end of training camp it comes out 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.839 that he's only So this is an absolute roller coaster 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.000 ride with Doug Baldwin. It's crazy. Um, I drafted him 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:57.200 in a few leagues. Look, whatever I tell people to do, 0:05:57.720 --> 0:05:59.600 I actually do myself. And I have a feeling that 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.040 you are the same exact way. I told people that 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.479 I moved Doug Baldwin back into that two three swing, 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:06.880 and right now I'm suffering for it because I drafted 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.720 him in multiple leagues. Over Tyreek Hill, oh overhill. Yeah, 0:06:10.760 --> 0:06:13.719 you're definitely suffering for that. Look um. You know again, 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.920 it's hard to overreact after one week. And one of 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.080 the things that we'll probably talk about it you know, 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.400 you mentioned it earlier, is that we saw a multitude 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:26.160 of top, top, top wide receivers get you know, over 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.240 fifteen targets and the reason for that is easy. I mean, 0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.039 these quarterbacks were looking for the guys they know and trust, 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:33.839 They know where they are, they know where they're going 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:35.840 to be, and they can feel that they can just 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.600 use them as needed because they just haven't had any 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.760 chance to work with the team as a whole against 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:45.680 an opponent. So these guys were looking for their number 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:49.080 one guys and that consistent. That will change as the 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.080 weeks go on and everybody gets starting to melt together 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.680 as a team. But in week one that you know, 0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:58.080 isn't that big a surprise. And I think as a 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.800 result of this Doug Baldwin news think Brandon Marshall is 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.080 going to be a very very popular waiver wire target 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.960 this week in FAB as well as Tyler Lockett if 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.160 he wasn't drafted in your league, because obviously if he 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.560 can't go. We saw a bit of a report there 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.840 with Brandon Marshall as well targeted multiple times in the 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.040 red zone, so that'll be interesting to see how that 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:20.400 pans out him. Also, the Titans, this team looks it 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:23.520 looks like a crap shoot already. It's Week one. I 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:26.760 can't tell if I'm overreacted to this, but look, Delaney Walker, 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.640 it's pretty much done for the season already. We know that. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.560 I believe it was a fractured ankle. Obviously a gruesome 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.200 injury for a player of his age thirty three thirty 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.280 four years old. He was dealing with the injury in 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.160 training camp as well, and then Marcus Mariota leaves with 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.160 an elbow injury. Derrick Henry did not look great. The 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.880 running back usage very very frustrating already. Um so what 0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:50.480 are you making from this from the Tennessee Titans. It 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.880 looked like an absolute mess in Week one against the Dolphins. Yeah, 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.880 this offense was definitely all over the place. Uh, let's 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.680 face it up. Mariota, even before he got injured, just 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:05.559 didn't look very good, which was surprising after pretty pretty 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.920 decent preseason. But you know, nine for sixteen only a 0:08:09.040 --> 0:08:12.040 hundred three yards but two interceptions, not a good start 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:15.520 for him. Uh It, you know, it looks like he'll 0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.280 be okay that the elbow so far doesn't seem to 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:20.680 be too bad. We'll know more after today when they 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.920 do some more work on on it and take some 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:25.760 more shots of it and see where we're at. But 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.080 at this point, you know, without him, it's definitely gonna 0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:32.280 be scary. With Blaine Gabbert, I'm the center. Uh you know, 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.000 Gabard is definitely not somebody who really puts any kind 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:39.560 of fear in opponents. And the good thing that comes 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:41.959 out of this is that I think we start to 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:46.040 see a lot more Dion Lewis like we did yesterday. Yeah, 0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:50.320 Dan Lewis dominated the snaps yesterday, and we went over 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.920 to another situation. Look the Tennessee Titans. I'm I'm worried 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:55.160 about them. I'm worried about their offense right now. If 0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:57.439 you drafted pieces of those running backs, I think you 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.080 feel good about Dion Lewis. I think that is predicated 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.280 on game flow, that running back situation. If they're winning 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.280 games and they're up in a game, I think Derrick 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.160 Henry is obviously going to be the running back to 0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:10.439 have that week. But you're not really gonna know going 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:12.920 into a week, right Like we thought that this Tennessee 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.520 Titans Miami Dolphins matchup would be pretty close, and it 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:18.240 turns out that the Titans ended up trailing for a 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:20.400 lot of this game. And because of that, Dion Lewis 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.800 was the guy to own this week. And I think 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:24.960 it's gonna be very, very frustrating weekend and week out 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.839 trying to figure out which running back to use. I 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:29.520 don't think we're gonna know on a weekly basis. Obviously 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.319 it depends on game flow, but we're not going to 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.599 know that. One more injury I wanted to talk on. 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:36.200 Obviously Aaron Rodgers was a big injury as well. I'm 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.079 gonna wait till we get some some tests on that, 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.120 but obviously he came back in. It looked like he 0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.120 was playing on one leg, but he was still Aaron Rodgers. 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:43.680 He went off for two hundred and eighty five yards 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.120 three touchdowns. I want to mention Leonard Fournette and I 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.680 was not a Leonard four Nett guy coming into the year, Jim, 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:50.520 And it didn't have to do with the hamstring. It 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.640 just had to do with the foot the ankle. But 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.040 again we saw last year that when once he was 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:58.920 dealing with a leg injury. He was not the same 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.800 player he was pre injury verse post injury. He was 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.199 much more explosive before that foot and ankle injury last year. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:07.360 And now he has his hamstring that he's already dealing 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:11.320 with in week one, and you know, to keep using 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:15.600 the word overreact, I don't want to, but this seems 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:17.880 to me like something that can lager an entire season, Jim. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:22.160 Hamstring injuries are always a problem. You know, hopefully they 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:24.480 take it slow with him, don't try to rush him back. 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:26.840 That's usually the problem when you try and rush your 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.599 player back from a hamstring injury. It's so prone to 0:10:29.640 --> 0:10:33.400 being injured again that you run real big risk with that. 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:35.679 This is their bell cow guy, This is the guy 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.280 they want to carry the load. So I wouldn't be 0:10:38.400 --> 0:10:40.560 surprised at all if we see him sit at least 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.679 one week. He said after the game. He could have 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.280 returned to the game. But you know, again, with a 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:47.400 hamstring injury, you have to take it slow. You have 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.280 to be careful, and it's gonna be interesting to see 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.439 what they do here. That's up, Jim. And yet the 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:56.280 Giants still lost, and yet you are hearing the sweet, 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.400 sweet sounds of Chris Venture the analysts. You can listen 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.640 to him and Fantasy Taz Jim Day on the Fantasy 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.719 Football Frenzy Venture. I want to I wish I can 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.319 apologize for the Giants losing, but it honestly brought a 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.080 smile to my face. I'm sorry it didn't. I can 0:11:11.160 --> 0:11:16.360 understand you hate the Giants and because the Jets, you know, yeah, okay, wait, 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.800 I have to throw in two points here. First of all, 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:20.960 the one thing I did like was that the Giants 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.240 defense played much better in the second half than they 0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.680 did the first half. They started to come together. They 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.280 did a lot of three and ounce against Jacksonville, which 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.079 was nice. Again, I will reiterate another point. They need 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.360 to get rid of Eric Flowers. I don't care who 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:37.080 are they doing. They need to get rid of Eric Flowers. 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.120 He's got to be the worst tackle in football. I've 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.319 hated him since they drafted him. They need to get 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.719 his ass out of it. But there's an even bigger problem, though, 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:47.280 more than Eric Flowers. It's Eli Manning. I hate to 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:53.439 say it, but it's we were talking about this downstairs. 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:56.360 A lot of its stand from Eric Flowers, the offensive line. 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.200 You were telling me that they needed more mobile quarterback. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:02.679 They Giants have won Super Bowls without a mobile quarterback 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:05.800 with Eli Manning. But it all starts with the offensive line. 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:08.240 So I have to go with Jim on this one. Look, 0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:10.920 if you improve that offensive line, you're showing out money 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.600 to Odell Beckham, use money on a backup tight end 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.959 last year and Rhett Ellison rather than going out and 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.200 spending on your offensive line. Well, yes, they added pieces 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:22.040 to their offensive line this offseason, but they also lost 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.360 pieces to that offensive line, so you're kind of just 0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:27.760 mitigated what you lost and you still have Eric Flowers 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:30.640 on that offensive line. So I'm kind of I'm with Jim, like, 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.959 I don't think this is all Eli Manning's fall. You 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:35.360 give the guy's weapons, you gotta be able to protect him. 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:37.839 It's definitely not all Eli's fault. Part of it is 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:40.840 McAdoo messed up a lot of things here and Sherman's 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.240 trying to clean it up. And he did a good 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.079 job again and sold it. But you know, obviously you 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.240 can't fix the whole old line, and you know, one day, 0:12:46.720 --> 0:12:49.440 but I think the old line is good enough. See Eli, 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.280 when he won those Super Bowls, he had a great 0:12:51.360 --> 0:12:54.800 defense or a great defensive line both those years. Uh, 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:57.000 and we had a great offensive line and great running game. 0:12:57.120 --> 0:13:00.120 We had two thousand yard rushes that first year when 0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:03.520 we won the Super Bowl. So Eila needs compliments to himself. 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:05.839 He can't be the star. He's not Aaron Rodgers. He 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.560 can't carry the team. He needs help. We got Barkley. 0:13:08.679 --> 0:13:10.800 That was the That was the key. If we could 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:13.199 rely on Barkley, Eli will do good. If Barkley does well, 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.040 we have the weapons. The problem is Eli over threw 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.640 that like three times that in that game yesterday. He 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.480 that pick. He throws so many balls low near the line. 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.800 Gabes said it earlier on Carton and Friends. All the time, 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.400 he's guaranteed two deflected balls of the line all the time, 0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.320 and a lot of times ends up being a pick 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:30.719 because it gets hit up in the air, and that 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:32.240 ruined the game. It was a pick six. The game's 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.679 over right there. But he also had receptions that were 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.000 completed down the field, two guys like Evan Ingram that 0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:40.079 revoked because of holding penalties by Eric Flower. Yeah, no, 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:42.199 definitely a lot of things that need to be fixed. 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.599 But let's move on the new York Giants hour. You 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:49.080 came up here with the Yankee had on an agenda. 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.160 You want to talk about Eli Manning and New York Giants. 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.600 Save it for the Fantasy Football Frenzy where you could 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:59.240 talk to Corey about the NFC East and Utred Cowboys offense. Corey, 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.319 I am sorry to say it, but it is not 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.359 looking good after a Week one for the Dallas Cowboys. 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:06.840 I mentioned we're gonna talk about the good the bad, 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:08.959 and I want to start with some good here. This 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:10.760 is the stat of the day. This is per Nathan 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:15.360 Jankee at PFF Underscore. Nate jan Kee j A h 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:19.000 n k E puts out great, great stats, uh regarding 0:14:19.480 --> 0:14:22.480 snap counts and snap percentage for running backs, and he 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.640 had this to say, Joe Mixon playing over seventy eight 0:14:25.720 --> 0:14:29.080 percent the Bengals offensive snaps in Week one. That is 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:33.880 his highest percentage since being drafted by Cincinnati. So, Jim, 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.320 I'll go to you first, and I'm just gonna make 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:37.960 a bold claim here and you tell me if I'm 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.960 overreacting or not. Joe Mixing seventeen rushes for ninety five yards, 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:46.760 a touchdown, seven targets, five receptions, fifty four yards Hugh 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:51.400 Bernard one rush minus one yard, one target, one reception, 0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.000 eleven yards. Joe Mixing is going to be a top 0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:58.280 twelve running back to hear Jim. If he continues to 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.000 get that kind of opportunity, that kind of usage in 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:04.200 the passing game. I'm with you, no doubt about it. Uh. 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.800 He showed. Look, we all knew he had the talent. 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:09.080 We were worried about him because the offensive line was 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.040 so terrible. Least here they obviously improved it. They looked 0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:15.760 a lot better in this offensive line yesterday. Mixing is 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:18.480 a talent. And if he continues to get this workload 0:15:18.760 --> 0:15:21.400 and that kind of surrounded played by the offensive line, 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.600 then sure, I'm with you. I do think at some 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.080 point Bernard will be a little bit bigger of a 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:30.120 player than he was yesterday. But Mixing is definitely the guy. Yeah. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.240 You know when Bernard's gonna be the big player when 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:35.200 they play a team that's actually good on defense. Uh, 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.960 that team is awful the Colts on defense, So you 0:15:38.000 --> 0:15:39.480 can run the ball down, then he could do what 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.560 you want. Um, I feel like if the game script 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:46.080 applies Mixing, Yeah, I'm I'm sold now. Listen, I was 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:49.040 against it. I didn't like mixing. I'm wrong. The guy's 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:51.240 got super talent, I know that, but I think he 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:52.800 could do a good job. I think he might be 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.840 inconsistent times, he might have bad games here and there, 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.160 but overall he should be a rock solid RB two, 0:15:57.400 --> 0:16:00.360 possibly an RB one, like you said Top twelve. Yeah, 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.360 I don't know if I agree with the statement that 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:06.160 you made about game flow right, because we saw two 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.680 different game flows within one game with the Cincinnati Bengals. 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:11.960 They were they were trailing for a lot of this game, 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.640 and then they got up in this game, and regardless 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:16.720 of what was happening, Joe Mixon was the guy on 0:16:16.760 --> 0:16:19.360 the field, which I think is the biggest takeaway from 0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.720 this game. You know, a reason why I shied away 0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:25.080 from Joe Mixon during draft season is because I looked 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.960 into the past Geo Bernard usage. The guy has consistently 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.800 played thirty five plus percent of the snaps while Marvin Lewis, 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.040 while he's been there with Marvin Lewis. So I figured, 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.680 once again, I'm like, look, Geo Bernard is not going away. 0:16:38.120 --> 0:16:41.000 In this game, Geo Bernard was nowhere to be found. 0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.440 Joe Mixon looked like a slender version of himself. He 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:46.680 shed down weight in the off season. We knew about that. 0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:49.440 He looked much more spry in the preseason. He showed 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.680 a lot of that here. He had the explosiveness and 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.480 then also his usage in the passing game. I mean, 0:16:54.600 --> 0:16:58.920 this guy was a phenomenal, phenomenal receiver coming out of college, 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.360 and then he showed that in the preseason as well. 0:17:01.560 --> 0:17:03.720 They're lining him out as a wide receiver, throwing him 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:07.399 screen passes, letting him just work down the field. I 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:09.320 think if you drafted Joe Mixon, I don't think this 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:11.040 is a no reaction. I think there's a good chance 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:15.639 that he can be an RB one for fantasy football season. 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:19.040 So talk more about the good the bad. Maybe we'll 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:21.359 get to the Buffalo Bills.

But 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:02.239 if you have the Browns plus four like I did, 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:06.119 hit hit pretty well, I liked, I like that I 0:19:06.240 --> 0:19:10.760 was gonna do a teaser Brown's Ravens Saints, the Saints, 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.879 that that would have crushed you right there, all right, 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:17.919 So let's hump back in. We were talking about Joe 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:20.520 Mixon and his uses with the Cincinnati Bengals and the 0:19:20.560 --> 0:19:23.119 fact that Joe Bernard was not really anywhere to be 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.160 seen on the field. I want to go to another 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:29.600 running back, really the antithesis of what Joe Mixon represents. 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:33.520 Joe Mixon a young, fun, exciting running back. Adrian Peterson 0:19:34.080 --> 0:19:38.200 old boring, wasn't really fun in the preseason, drafted in 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:40.960 the ninth tenth round, Joe Mixon going in the second 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.520 and third round. What Adrian Peterson do in Week one? 0:19:43.760 --> 0:19:48.160 Just twenty eight touches Jim nearly thirty touches for the Angels. 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.880 Adrian Peterson twenty six rushing attempts, two catches in this game, 0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:55.520 nineties six rushing yards. That's three point seven yards per carry, 0:19:55.800 --> 0:19:59.320 but two receptions for seventy yards. That the guy is 0:19:59.400 --> 0:20:03.280 still in fredibly explosive. It's insane. He looked like Adrian 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:07.240 Peterson from five years ago. I thought, it's like he's refreshed. 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.200 Did this guy us a time machine and come back 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:12.640
