1
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,440

Speaker 2: you have a little show there, and you started up

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: Matt and I trying to crack each other up. As

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 2: we get into the open here. He wasn't looking though.

14
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 2: It missed a whole thing.

15
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't know you did anything.

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, anyways, let's get to the making me truckle.

17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: Either way, let's get to the fantasy football focus. As

18
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: we met Brian Robinson with that hamstring injury for the

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders limited at practice, the team.

20
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: Him right back in your lineup if he plays. Those

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: other guys were serviceable tougher on defense, but he's good. Yeah,

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: I don't know that he's I mean, he's not Barkley good.

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: You know that's this is a bad I'm kind of torn.

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't own him anywhere.

25
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: I don't either, but I just don't know that he's

26
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: going to get a lot of running space up the

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: middle against the Steelers.

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: I would think not. And they have other guys and

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: maybe he's him in slow and Daniels is gonna get carries.

30
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: But he's an every week starter up, you know, when

31
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: he's been healthy.

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, touchdowns all this stuff. Yeah, Kyle Pitts

33
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: with a hamstring listed is limited today, m decent development.

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: I don't know what Drake london situation is. Well, he

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: officially was limited as well with that hip injury.

36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought that might be worse.

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a hip pointer. We'll see you know again,

38
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 2: when when you say limited, it's very broad. Yeah, not

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: like it used to be. If he's running on the

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: side or why you know, if he's even a practice

41
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: doing anything with trainers, they have to list him as limited.

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: Moon he's attractive. Yeah, he's had a really good year

43
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 3: and this might be a high point for him.

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 2: Chris Olave, with that concussion, did not practice on Wednesday.

45
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: That didn't look good. No, it's his fifth one. I

46
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: double checked that he had one in Ohio state. He's

47
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 2: had four reported in the pros.

48
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. Hate that. Yeah, hate that a lot.

49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: Hate that.

50
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 3: I just assume they won't rush him back. I mean

51
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: interim head code.

52
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 4: Yeah.

53
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 2: Jamal Williams with the groin was limited on Wednesday.

54
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: I forgot about him.

55
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think the Saints did too. Alvin Kamara

56
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: with a hand injury. I think it's a fractured hand.

57
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 3: It might be.

58
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 2: He practiced him full on Wednesday.

59
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 3: Okay, so he's getting a workload.

60
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 2: He's been playing through it.

61
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

62
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 2: Juwan Jennings with a hip injury listed is limited on Wednesday.

63
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: Somebody's got to do something. But that doesn't super excite me. Yeah.

64
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 2: Jake Moody with the ankle injury, listed as limited on Wednesday.

65
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 2: He's course San Francisco's kicker, Deebo, Samuel Ribs and Oblique

66
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 2: a limited participant on Wednesday.

67
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: They're coming off of buye too with a Steelers so

68
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,519
Speaker 3: there's a lot of debo playing. McCaffrey playing, you know.

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, McCaffrey listed as limited at practice on Wednesday, but

70
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: he's in his twenty one day window. He probably doesn't

71
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: play this week, you don't think, I don't know, limited today,

72
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: probably not.

73
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that just means he saw the field

74
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: in some capacity.

75
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, probably easing back into it. I don't know,

76
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 2: I don't know, I know, I.

77
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 3: Don't know why. Those seems like a lot of those

78
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: times when you open the window, you know he's ready.

79
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 3: You know, it doesn't last twenty one day. You gotta

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: kind of ramp up to it too. You haven't been

81
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: going to football stuff. Yeah, Graham Gano officially listed is limited.

82
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: On Wednesday, the Giants opened up his twenty one day

83
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 3: practice window. So again, he's a kicker, so maybe he

84
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: could get out there and do some stuff. Eating Mitchell

85
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: remember him, Yeah, I kind of like him.

86
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: He's questioned at to play Thursday with that knee injury,

87
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: but he's nearing a comeback here just to play the Steelers.

88
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 3: I thought he'd be back much later than this. I mean,

89
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 3: that was a bad injury from what I remember. A

90
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: little guy. Yeah, one more element. I mean you get

91
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: the ante and you add him to that offense.

92
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: You know, Isaiah likely hamstring will not play on Thursday night.

93
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 3: HM Okay, does that boost Andrews. I guess it's a

94
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 3: bad defense are playing. They're gonna play a lot of

95
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: twelve I mean, yeah, instead of three tight ends splitting

96
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 3: reps in Ricard, the fullback I eliminate.

97
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: I mean they've played a lot of twelve personnel.

98
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they throw everything at you if you count the

99
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 3: full back too, if you count him a tight end.

100
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: And I bet the anti gets ramped up a little

101
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 3: bit too. Although it's a short week, I know, I

102
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: like it's weird. It does not like Higgins is gonna

103
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 3: play in that game.

104
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: No, Charlie Jones, with the growing unlikely to play Thursday

105
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: for the Bengals, T Higgins doubtful to play a squad

106
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel with a peck limited on Wednesday. We want

107
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: to go back to the T Higgins thing real quick.

108
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: So when Higgins hasn't been out there, Mike Kiseki has

109
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: been the beneficiary.

110
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're not much different. Yeah, you know, I mean

111
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 3: just one as a te and one is a w R.

112
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: But Kaseki never lines up in line or anything like that,

113
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 3: and Burrow likes him and all the matter.

114
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: You can throw the ball against Baltimore.

115
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 3: I think there's been a lot of points in that game. Yeah,

116
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: probably means he'll be eleven twelve or something in AFC

117
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 3: nor Slugfest on Thursday night.

118
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: You know again, Curtis Samuel with the peck injury limited

119
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 2: on Wednesday.

120
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: There's aething more from him this year he's been I mean,

121
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: I know he's had injuries.

122
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: But that's the Curtis Samuel curse.

123
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 3: He's a tease.

124
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, Amari Cooper with the wrist officially limited on Wednesday,

125
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 2: that kept him out of last weekend, last week's game.

126
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: Would you put him right back in the lineup if

127
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 3: he gets cleared Friday or whatever. Yeah, I think so.

128
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 3: I mean, I bet he's a top thirty receiver on

129
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: any fantasy list.

130
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 2: Chewba Hubbard was given a day off the rest today

131
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: we see a look at Brooks. Yeah, Jonathan Brooks probably

132
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: took all the first team reps then with the Hubbard out,

133
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: but that just makes that a cloudy situation shirts Ubbard.

134
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been holding Brooks. I mean, I'm not going

135
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 3: to cut him now or anything, but it was basically

136
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: a failed experiment to this point.

137
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, they did activate him to the fifty three man roster.

138
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: Officially though, So I'm sad about him, right, Yeah, I'm

139
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 3: certainly not starting on this week.

140
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: No, you got to see how they split those carries up.

141
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: Adam Theelen with the Carolina Panthers with that hamstring didn't

142
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 2: practice on Wednesday.

143
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 3: If he was healthy, would he have moved? Probably have

144
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 3: been three receivers they traded.

145
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, but remember last year with Bryce Young at quarterback,

146
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: Adam Thelen caught a hundred passes, so.

147
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,359
Speaker 3: He was highly relevant.

148
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was the w Yeah, Bryce Young will start

149
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: Week ten for the Carolina Panthers. Uh Darius Slay with

150
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: a groin injury back on the practice field on Wednesday

151
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 2: for the Philadelphia Eagles.

152
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: Mitchell's had a really good year, Quinny and Mitchell and

153
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: Dejeane is the slot? Is that a really good year?

154
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 3: Now you had Sleigh back in the mix. That's a

155
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: pretty good trio this week, So okay, I mean, yeah,

156
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 3: I think you're right. I think that might be a

157
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 3: Monday night or Sunday night or Yeah.

158
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: Dallas Goddard with that hamstring injury back practicing on Wednesday.

159
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense because they's have been about four

160
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: weeks and they didn't put them.

161
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: On ir aj Brown with the knee practicing on Wednesday.

162
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: Thanks Aj.

163
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, he was in our lineup, right, that's the worst.

164
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 2: We needed ten points to finish between a Lave, Between

165
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: a Lave and Brown, they probably would have got there.

166
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 2: They probably would have gotten that even one or the other.

167
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, we didn't talk about that. But our Monday

168
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 3: Nighters did real well.

169
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: They did. Yeah, we end up scoring one hundred and

170
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: thirty two plus points in our det with our dfs

171
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: with two guys out.

172
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, say we had two left the games early empty

173
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: roster spots. We did pretty well.

174
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes with that ankle injury, practiced him full on Wednesday.

175
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean that happened. I thought it was good,

176
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 3: not like season ending, but I thought it was gonna

177
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: be bad. Yeah.

178
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: The way his knee kind of buckled when it happened,

179
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that's not good.

180
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 4: No.

181
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: Nico Collins with that hamstring injury not practicing Wednesday. Yeah,

182
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 2: he's still on IR right, he's missed the open window,

183
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: he's missed four games, so he's eligible to return.

184
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 3: Gotcha.

185
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 2: I didn't know if he put him on or I

186
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: think they did. Michael Pittman with that back issue. Not

187
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 2: practicing Wednesday. He is largely fantasy irrelevant.

188
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 3: I say he scares me. I mean just he just

189
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: not moving the same. You know, there's that old saying

190
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: that you never used to have a back injury. You know,

191
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: like he looks like he's struggling. Yeah, fire up downs, Yeah,

192
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 3: I mean the downs as a starter. Anyways, I know

193
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 3: everyone he gets a lot opportunity, though people I'm not

194
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 3: sure everyone realizes like Tilman and Downs.

195
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: Or they're playing Buffalo this week though, and.

196
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: It's a good defense.

197
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: It's a good de Toron Johnson's one of the better

198
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: nickel corners in the.

199
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 3: Yes in the absolutely is and they probably will rush

200
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 3: past well. Cults do a pretty decent job real quick aside,

201
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: I'm a Joe Flacco supporter. I mean, everyone knows that

202
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: he recruited them, helped recruit him. He would not end

203
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 3: up a pit if it wasn't for me. His tape

204
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 3: was laying there, nobody was watching it. I'm like, who

205
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: is this guy with a rocket right arm at sixty six? Anyway,

206
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: he's overrated black yeah yeah, I mean he was okay

207
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 3: with the Browns last year, but a lot of it

208
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,199
Speaker 3: was just because he wasn't DeShawn Watson, and he came

209
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 3: in against the Steelers and did really good things. But

210
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 3: he put the ball this close to Harm's way and

211
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 3: got away with it. And this past week he produced

212
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: three points. You know, like he's okay, he's good for downs,

213
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 3: he's good for these receivers in fantasy, but he's about done.

214
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 2: They looked like an NFL offense when he's in there,

215
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: absolutely as opposed to the two guys that he's replaced.

216
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: It's a much more exaggerated version of Wilson and Fields.

217
00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: You know, ceed Lamb with the shoulder injury, not practicing

218
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: on Wednesday, I Dak's out.

219
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

220
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: Are they gonna rush Parsons back? At this point they're

221
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 3: already talking about is belichicking and coach that team? Would

222
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 3: you dump Lamb if you had him for like eighty

223
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: five cents on the dollar?

224
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 2: Mm? I mean Cooper Rush is good enough to get

225
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 2: him ball. Yeah, he'll get ten times a game, He'll

226
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 2: get him the football. Yeah, yeah, Yeah, I wouldn't trade

227
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 2: him because you're not going to get the return.

228
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: Now it is not the Yeah, it's not a high point.

229
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: Obviously I would have traded him maybe a couple of

230
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: weeks ago, like first time he had a big game.

231
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,199
Speaker 2: He's only had one one hundred yard game this year.

232
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 3: I mean for being a top three pick in every

233
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: fantasy league. Good, not great. Yeah.

234
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 2: Uh, Darius Slayton had a concussion and will not practice

235
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 2: on Wednesday.

236
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: I wonder I was thought the same thing. Yeah. Yeah,

237
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 3: It's been a lot of these instances. I'm not saying

238
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: they settled on Mike Williams, but they had to have

239
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: conversations about Slayton.

240
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Juju Smith Schuster with that hamstring not practicing Wednesday, Well,

241
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 2: he's completely fantasy or revelant irrelevant.

242
00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: Now.

243
00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm cutting him. I picked him up a couple

244
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 3: weeks ago in several leagues, and I think with Hopkins there,

245
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 3: he's done.

246
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks will not be activated off of IR at

247
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 2: this time because an infection developed in his knee.

248
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: There's no good news in Dallas.

249
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: That could be really bad. DeMarcus Lawrence with the foot

250
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: injury not being activated off fire. I didn't think he would.

251
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: That's that's like a mid foot spring. That's usually Liz Frank, Okay,

252
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: that's not something you just come back. Parsons close seems

253
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: like that should be happening soon. He returned to practice

254
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 2: in a limited fashion today.

255
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 3: That's the only good news I've heard of Dallas in

256
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: a month. Yeah.

257
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: It was reported earlier in the week that the Cowboys

258
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: were going to put Dak Prescott on ir He's saying,

259
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: not so fast.

260
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: Okay, so maybe missus three games. I mean the NFC.

261
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 3: You still have to probably win two of those. Yeah,

262
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: well they've kept it. Cooper Rush has kept their heads

263
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: above water before. Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what he does.

264
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: He keeps your head above water. Yeah.

265
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman with a wrist did not practice Wednesday, could

266
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 2: miss more than a week.

267
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,719
Speaker 3: M Okay, so it doesn't he was playing this week.

268
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, Khalilshakir and a Mari if he's back, and a

269
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 2: Mai Cooper.

270
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: Yeah.

271
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 5: Uh.

272
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:15,719
Speaker 2: Will reikerd Minnesota's kicker, was placed on I R a

273
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: lot of kicker injuries.

274
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 3: That their third kicker. They drafted him, did they? Okay,

275
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: I couldn't the roster. I know he's young.

276
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, last year they were.

277
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 3: In quarterbacks.

278
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: You don't until you go through that. We don't have

279
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 2: a kicker. If you if you don't remember as a

280
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: Steeler fan, the things that were happening before the Steelers

281
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 2: got bos.

282
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 3: Every Tuesday of a conversation, do they pick up a

283
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 3: new kicker, Yeah, like you missed one kick out of you.

284
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, they signed. The Vikings signed John Parker Romo to

285
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: be a kicker. Yeah, to be their kicker's But it's

286
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 2: relevant though. It's the Vikings have a good offense.

287
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, and there's six teams on by that

288
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: might be your kicker this week.

289
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,199
Speaker 2: John Parker Roman. They played Jacksonville, so they're going to

290
00:12:59,240 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 2: score points.

291
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 3: They're always in domes. Yeah.

292
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: The Jaguars signed CJ. Bethard because Trevor Lawrence limited on

293
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: Wednesday with an upper body injury. That's all they listed

294
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 2: as upper boss hockey.

295
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 3: Their season shot. They just traded.

296
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 2: There's a lot on your upper body that could be

297
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 2: pretty vague.

298
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, would you rush them back? They're all getting fired.

299
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 3: That's a like it or not. That's your prime asset

300
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: in the organization. Yeah, a left tackle.

301
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 2: Maybe the owner steps into the GM steps in. Hey,

302
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: Trevor sitting, we just traded our left tackle. You're gonna

303
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 2: throw them out there, and we paid him sixty We

304
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: overpaid him sixty million dollars.

305
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 3: A year whatever. It was like, No, they're married to him. Yeah.

306
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 2: Uh, Lamar Jackson had misspractice. He didn't practice on Tuesday,

307
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 2: the only day they practiced this week. He will play

308
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: Thursday night against the Bengals. Yeah, it's a knee issue though,

309
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: Like nobody's talking about this.

310
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard some. I think it was one of

311
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 3: their beat reporters last week when Lamar missed tied this

312
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 3: time of the week last week, that they said he

313
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 3: would have practiced last week if it wasn't for an

314
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 3: upcoming Thursday game, that they just wanted all the load

315
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 3: management off of him going up to these back to

316
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 3: back tight games.

317
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 2: I guess I get that they say that, and I'm

318
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 2: sure there still was something there. He ran three times

319
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: for four yards last week. Yeah, I mean true pocket

320
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 2: passer right, three times for four yards. The week before that,

321
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 2: when he before he had the knee inch issue, was

322
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 2: eight for forty six. So it's something's bugging him.

323
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: I do no doubt it.

324
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: You know that three for three, three carries for four

325
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: yards out of Lamar Jackson. That's not what they're looking

326
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 2: to do. No, no, no, Now, they were winning that

327
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: game handily against denvergure he only threw the ball nineteen times.

328
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: But obviously it's a huge weapon. Yeah, I had something

329
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: keep an eye on. I mean keep an eye on

330
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: that Thursday night.

331
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's an issue in that game. And it reminded

332
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 2: me of the because somebody tweeted out there. So in

333
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: that game, Lamar had three carries for four yards. He

334
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: had a long carry of eleven yards. Okay, there was

335
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: a play where they did read option and he started

336
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: running to his left, went the reverse field and started

337
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: running back the other way and got tackled for a

338
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: big loss. Yea, And somebody said, I think it might

339
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 2: have been Warren Sharp or somebody. Why doesn't this count

340
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 2: as a sack. He's the quarterback, he's he's a quarterback.

341
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 2: By it's the same. It made me think, no, it

342
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 2: was Actually it was Bauldinger, Ran Baudinger. The quarterback is

343
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 2: still behind the line of scrimmage, whether you think he's

344
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 2: This is what happens in Baltimore. It happened to t. J.

345
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: Watt when he should have broken the all time sack record.

346
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: They counted it as a run instead of a pass.

347
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: He's the quarterback.

348
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: It's the quarterback behind the line of scrimmage. Yeah, but

349
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 3: what if the offensive lines run blocking.

350
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: I don't doing half anyways, Like you're you're putting it

351
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: on the people who sit, the statisticians at each stadium

352
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: to decide what's going to be a on him, what's

353
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: going to be a pass?

354
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: And I would guess you'd want the home team to

355
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: have fewer sacks, yes against Yes, you know what I

356
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: mean as opposed to tackle for laws.

357
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: Because it made me think maybe, and I tweeted back

358
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: at Baldinger it was very much like the T. J.

359
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: Watt sack play. It was an aboarded snap, the ball

360
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: was dropped, he's raining, I think it was raining that day.

361
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: Quarterback Huntley picks the ball up and what comes in

362
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 2: and tackles him?

363
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh, I remember that.

364
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 2: He gets up off the ground. He doesn't try, he

365
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: doesn't just fall on the ball. He gets up off

366
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: the ground and he could throw the football in that situation.

367
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: Why is that not a sack?

368
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 3: I say, I mean, is there Let's say that exact

369
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 3: same thing happened to Dan Marino or Tom Brady.

370
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: Nobody's saying that's.

371
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: Because they're not running quarterbacks, right my voint of course, right,

372
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: that's a good point. Now there should be he could

373
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 3: throw the football.

374
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: In fact, in that situation, he would be smart to

375
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: throw the football because now you're not taking a big loss.

376
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 3: But I'm not sure every quarterback tackle for a law.

377
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 3: I'm not sure you're even saying this. Every quarterback tackle

378
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: for law should be a sack.

379
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 2: No, not everyone, because there are a sweep or you know.

380
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: If it's pretty obvious it's a design run. But it's different,

381
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 3: like you botch the snap and you don't know the

382
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 3: play call. You know you're at Libby and some of

383
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 3: the read options stuff.

384
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 2: How many times you see the read option and thenjure

385
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: up back to pass happens a lot just because he

386
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: read optioned to the to the running. But that doesn't

387
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 2: mean he's running the ball. Ben Roethlisberger used to do

388
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,959
Speaker 2: the mess were hands off all the time. They never

389
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 2: he wasn't running the football.

390
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 3: Right, that's a good point. I haven't thought of that.

391
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 3: I remember we had this conversation when the Watt thing happened.

392
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: But that's what they robbed because you're you're dependent upon

393
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: the home statisticians and they're not gonna they're not gonna

394
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: credit that. That's why tackles are not an official statistics.

395
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 2: When people say this guy leads the league in tackles,

396
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: I don't give. I don't care. I don't care because

397
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 2: his home statisticians could say, oh, he was close to that,

398
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 2: let's give him half a tackle.

399
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, he always He's a raven example. And like, I

400
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 3: wonder if the NFL should have like an independent neurologist statistician,

401
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, like someone that is nothing.

402
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: They don't live in that STATEIUM don't think that they

403
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,439
Speaker 3: care enough to do that, but they should.

404
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: The players should care about it, because that's the difference

405
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: between the difference between getting a.

406
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 3: Lot of millions involved here. I mean, you could give

407
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: someone ten grand every game day to just do that

408
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: if you asked.

409
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: He gave me, true serum. Him not getting that sack

410
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 2: on that place still bugs him. Of course, he wanted

411
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: to have the league record to himself.

412
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: Bonuses and you go up for your contract like, looks

413
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: like you had eight sacks. So I'm like, yeah, but

414
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 3: I should have got credit for eleven. Yeah, no you should.

415
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: No, you got stats for the stats, I can't give

416
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 2: you that extra million. I figured that out a long

417
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: time ago. I think I've said this before on the

418
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: air when when the Steelers are playing Denver in the

419
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 2: AFC Championship in what was that nineteen ninety seven at

420
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 2: the three of Her Stadium, and I get the press

421
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 2: release from the from the Broncos and on the front

422
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 2: page of it they were in paperback then imagine that,

423
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: and I'm looking at it and they said, you know,

424
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 2: Denver has eight guys who have one hundred tackles. Yeah,

425
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, now, like, how many players have been run

426
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 2: against this team? And then I went and I went

427
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: in the same stat package counted every running play and

428
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 2: every completion that they had against them, and it added

429
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: up to like eight hundred and seventy five plays or

430
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 2: nine hundred plays, whatever it was. So you're telling me

431
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: there were never no eight And they had other guys

432
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 2: who had tackles. So you had eight guys who had

433
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 2: one hundred tackles, they had eight when you if you

434
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: just added up the solo tackles, they more than they

435
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: had more than the up than players run against them.

436
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: That is utterly impossible. Nobody ever ran out of bounds

437
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 2: on them. Nobody ever just you know, scored a touchdown.

438
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 3: I don't know this, but it seems like the modern

439
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 3: day equivalent is the Colts even go back to the Lennard.

440
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,159
Speaker 2: They got like five guys and the guys in the

441
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 2: top ten tackles.

442
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, and parts because they're on the field a lot,

443
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 3: and they're not a good defense and defense is designed

444
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 3: that way. But for five years they've had like one

445
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 3: of the leading tacklers in the league.

446
00:19:59,400 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 4: You know.

447
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: So they talk, Well, I'm listening to their broadcast. I'm

448
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 2: driving my daughter back to college on Sunday night. I'm

449
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 2: listening to the Sunday night football game, and they're raving

450
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 2: about about Zaire Franklin and these guys are all in

451
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: the top ten and tackles in the league. I'm like, so,

452
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,959
Speaker 2: so it's not a good stat No. First of all,

453
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: they're they're giving up. And in the next like two

454
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: minutes later, said, well the coltsnew give up five yards

455
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 2: of per carry.

456
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you just were.

457
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: You just were talking about what great guys, what great

458
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: defensive players these guys are because of their tackle numbers. See,

459
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 2: I would that's why I hate like getting it back

460
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: around the foot fantasy foot. I wish we could trust

461
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 2: it fantasy football. Then when you play I d p oh, yeah.

462
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 3: You just want to. I'm sure there's the right team.

463
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 2: I don't do it. If you track, yeah, if you

464
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 2: track which teams pad this tackle numbers, you can really

465
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 2: help your team.

466
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 3: Like another i DP thing IDP thing is I want

467
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: all the bad corners that get picked on. Yeah, I

468
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 3: mean that's kind of defeating the purpose drafting the worst.

469
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: I don't want Patrick Shtain he's too good.

470
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody throws at him, right, he does?

471
00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 4: You know good?

472
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: No good, throw them balls like any tackles. But it

473
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 3: would be interesting. I would love to get the real

474
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 3: numbers on tackles and how far downfield they all are.

475
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: That would be useful.

476
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 2: That would be useful if it was real. Yeah, if

477
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: you can trust it. Thirty two different opinions and nothing

478
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 2: like I sit close to see guy.

479
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

480
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 2: A lot of different stadiums, you end up sitting next

481
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: or close to the statisticians and when you hear them

482
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 2: yelling back and forth about you know, where's the yardage

483
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 2: on that? And like that was seven yards? Like it's

484
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 2: not that hard to feed. But you you hear these

485
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: things and you're like, I'm gonna trust these guys, right,

486
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 2: they easily could be a yard off. Often often yeah,

487
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: and then that all equals out to some degree, but

488
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: or who had that? When they're yelling who had that tackle?

489
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: And it's like I've done this long enough, especially with

490
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: the Steeler guys, not so much with with other But

491
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,879
Speaker 2: I recognize guys by the way they run or the

492
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 2: way they carry their pads. I don't need to see

493
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: the number, and ness, I'm really bad with numbers to

494
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: figure out who. You know, Oh, that's that's George Pickens.

495
00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 3: Ye, like I can.

496
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: I can tell by the way he runs, right, I

497
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: can tell by the you know way. You know, you

498
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: shouldn't need to. My son is hard to figure out.

499
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 3: He actually just applied to colleges and one of his

500
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 3: essays was I know every number in the league and

501
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 3: he does, and I know none, and we just see

502
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: it differently, you know what I mean. But I'm like,

503
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 3: I know who that is because he's six ' three

504
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 3: and he moves like this, yeah right, or he's running

505
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 3: the way he runs a pattern or whatever. Yeah. Yeah.

506
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 3: But it would be really useful. I mean, with all

507
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 3: the advanced stats that are out there that are on

508
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: NFL dot com, if you could tell me real tackle numbers,

509
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 3: I'd like to know.

510
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that'd be interesting, but that would be

511
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 2: I guess the league would have to spend more money

512
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: to do that, and I just don't want to do it.

513
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

514
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: Anyways, how do we get down at wormhole? Hired justin

515
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: I'll do Lamar Jackson. Yeah, that's how we get down

516
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: at wormhole.

517
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the exact thing.

518
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:48,720
Speaker 2: Anyways, let's get to a break. That's going to do it.

519
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: For the Fantasy Football Focus. We don't plan any of

520
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: this stuff, folks. We just go and whatever we end

521
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: up talking about, that's what we talk about. And you

522
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 2: just saw a good example of that right there. But

523
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: that's not very fantasy or he is Matt Williamson. I

524
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,239
Speaker 2: am fantasy segment too. You might get something, you might

525
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 2: get some knowledge. Yeah, he's Matt Williamson. I'm Dale Lollie.

526

Speaker 2: Matt Williamson and this is the Drive on Steelers Nation

534
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: Radio and Matt Again. When people talk about why do

535
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: you guys talk about fantasy football stuff, there are reasons why.

536
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 2: A lot of the stuff that we dig up stats wise,

537
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: lot comes from fantasy football. Yeah, and some of the

538
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 2: stuff that is out there that you see when people

539
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: talk about future schedules and stuff like that. I'm looking

540
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: here at a chart that Mike Clay put out and

541
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 2: he does this on a regular basis where he ranks

542
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: what the quarterbacks have or what you have at each position,

543
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 2: what you've faced, and then what you have coming up

544
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 2: in terms of difficulty, and that points allowed things of

545
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 2: that nature. So here's how.

546
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 3: Everybody realized this is subject to change, you know, I

547
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 3: mean upcoming quarterback and get hurt.

548
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: You know. This is how things play out for the

549
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 2: Steelers in the second half when people talk about this

550
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: being a difficult second half. So at this point, the

551
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 2: Steelers have faced the nineteenth toughest or not yeah, nineteenth

552
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:38,479
Speaker 2: toughest quarterback schedule in the league. Okay, moving forward, they

553
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: face the fourth I say it easiest or easiest. Okay,

554
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: two games against the Ravens, two games against Cincinnati, Washington

555
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 2: defensive perspective.

556
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 3: I'm like, Lamar's not easy Burrows. No, I'm talking about

557
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 3: from what the Steelers I was taking the Yeah.

558
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, so they've they've faced an above average slightly above

559
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: average slate of quarterback defenses to this point. From this

560
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 2: point on, it's the fourth easiest.

561
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: That makes all the sense in the world. Okay, when we.

562
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: Talk about why the Steelers went to a went to

563
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson a couple of weeks ago, this is kind

564
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,400
Speaker 2: of why, Like, you want to be able to throw

565
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 2: the football against these teams.

566
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,479
Speaker 3: The Ravens are the ultimate best example because there they

567
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 3: couldn't be any different in terms of run defense versus past.

568
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: Yes, and and we'll get to that in a second.

569
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 3: I mean, even if fields in Wilson were equal players

570
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 3: their style of play, you want Wilson against the Ravens. Yeah,

571
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 3: no doubt.

572
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: The running back schedule thus far, the Steelers have faced

573
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: the sixteenth most difficult UH. The rest of the season,

574
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: they face the most difficult running back schedule the Ravens twice.

575
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 2: I'm the Browns are good against the run. Yeah, you

576
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 2: got them twice singles, aren't Kansas City? Yeah, So they

577
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 2: face a very, very difficult defense, a very difficult slate

578
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 2: of defenses for running backs.

579
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 3: Washington's not one of them. No, Washington is not one

580
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 3: of them.

581
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 2: So they're they're dead last thirty second and that. And

582
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 2: that's with Washington on the scale. That's with Cincinnati twice.

583
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 3: It's definitely gonna be the hardest a week from them.

584
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, right, I mean just tells you how how

585
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: bad or how good these other defenses are. That what

586
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: the Steelers still have.

587
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 3: They got again, Baltimore twice is huge.

588
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 2: Baltimore twice. Since Kansas City is really good against the run.

589
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 3: I assume Cleveland's good.

590
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, wide receiver, they've faced the twenty eighth. No,

591
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: it's been difficult. Okay, the other way around, going going

592
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: the other way. If you're thirty two, that's the worst.

593
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 3: Paine and Sauce. Yeah, good pass rushes and yeah.

594
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

595
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 2: So they've faced the fifth toughest slate of defenses for

596
00:26:53,359 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: wide receivers. Production moving forward, fourth easiest, gotcha. Okay, so

597
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: your quarterback situation is the fourth best. Your wide receiver

598
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 2: situation is the fourth best. You's traded for a wide receiver.

599
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, made a quarterback change, and.

600
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 2: It made a quarterback change and finally tight end.

601
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: And then's the one I trust the least in the

602
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 3: fantasy world.

603
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 2: That one's a little volvo, right who did you play?

604
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, or how did they choose to defend you?

605
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 3: But if you're twenty five or lower or top six,

606
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 3: you're probably pretty bad. Yeah.

607
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're eighteenth thus far this season, they're eighteenth moving forward. Okay,

608
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: even so, it's kind of middle of the pack. But

609
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: the quarterback, wide receiver stuff, that's real.

610
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: That's very, very real. Yep. So some of this is

611
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: bad news, but EPA and DVOA do these things too.

612
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 3: And the Steelers defense has faced one of the easiest

613
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 3: slates of offenses in this point, and that's about to

614
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 3: change drastically. So, like if you're like ros defense is overrated,

615
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 3: you got a little bit of a point there, you

616
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 3: know that the who they play versus what they're about

617
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 3: to see, I mean, Baltimore twice, Washington's brutal, Kansas City.

618
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 3: And then the other thing is kind of the back

619
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 3: of clay. It's sort of the opposite, is true in

620
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 3: terms of the defenses they're facing get easier than what

621
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 3: they've faced, you know what I mean, Their offenses they

622
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: faced are about to get a lot harder. The defenses

623
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 3: they face get easier in the second half of the season. Yeah.

624
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: Really, I think the best defense that they'll face the

625
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: rest of this season is Kansas City. Yeah, and you

626
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 2: don't necessarily think about the Chiefs that way, but that's true.

627
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 3: So weird to say, but maybe every team on the

628
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 3: schedule except the Browns are better on offense than defense,

629
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 3: including the Chiefs.

630
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 2: Well maybe not Chiefs. Chiefs are better on defense. Yeah,

631
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: they're better on defense since He's way better. Yeah, Baltimore's

632
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 2: way better, Washington's way better.

633
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

634
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 2: These are not your These are not your your father's Ravens. No, no,

635
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 2: this game, like watch them tomorrow night when they play

636
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 2: the Bengals tomorrow night. Defensively, they're kind of a mess.

637
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 3: I know that the Steelers don't do everything to beat

638
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 3: the Ravens, but we even talked about like Wiggins, they

639
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 3: got Trudeavious White. They're not big physical corners either, and

640
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 3: you're gonna trot out Pickens and Williams against those guys.

641
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: Van Jefferson's a bigger guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you could

642
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 2: put it. I bet that's not a Kalvan you could

643
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 2: put Yeah, you could put three receivers on the field

644
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: who are going to be have at least a two

645
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 2: or three ins height advantage on every one of the

646
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: Ravens cornerbacks and Marlin and Marlon. Humphrey's not a little corner.

647
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 3: No, he's a sizable one. But Wiggins is light, you

648
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: know the Treevius White trades strange, but he's not big.

649
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 3: You know, how much have you play?

650
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's five to ten.

651
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: He's smaller.

652
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, So just something to keep an eye on here.

653
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 3: We could see.

654
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 2: We haven't seen many shootout type games from the Steelers

655
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 2: yet this year, but they're common. They're gonna have to

656
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,080
Speaker 2: score some points.

657
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: I think every Bengals games would be a shootout game

658
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 3: that they play. So you gotta keep up with Burrow.

659
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 2: So you're saying to play the over tomorrow.

660
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: I really am. But I hate that for a Thursday night,

661
00:29:59,440 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: I know.

662
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: But two teams that know each other, well, yeah, that

663
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 2: kind of plays into that as well.

664
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: I think Burrow lights them up.

665
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 2: Oh but was it last year the Burrow threw for

666
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: like five hundred yards against them?

667
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 3: I think so? Yeah, And I think they run that

668
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: offense is a juggernaut in Baltimore, and since he's not

669
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 3: going to offer much resistance, and I think Borrow's gonna

670
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: have a monster game.

671
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so keep that in mind when you're looking at

672
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 2: the again, the Steelers schedule and things moving forward. Baltimore,

673
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 2: on the other hand, since they're the team that the

674
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 2: Steelers have to catch here, they faced the fifteenth easiest

675
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 2: schedule thus far. Theirs goes to twenty third the rest

676
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 2: of the way, so it starts to get a little

677
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 2: more difficult for Lamar here on out. Running backs, well,

678
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: they running rampant over everybody. They faced the twenty seventh

679
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 2: This is just against running backs, Okay, yeah, running twenty

680
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 2: seventh hardest slate easy. Actually, no, it's been we're getting

681
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 2: that backward. I'm getting it backwards. Twenty seventh easiest or

682
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 2: most difficult.

683
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 3: It's a hard one.

684
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: They faced a hard one. There's just thirty first the

685
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 2: rest of the way even harder, even harder on Steelers twice. Yeah,

686
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 2: wide receiver, they faced the twenty fourth most difficult.

687
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 3: So it's been difficult.

688
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: It's been pretty difficult. It's twenty six, so things get different,

689
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: things get difficult, a little more difficult, and then offensively

690
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 2: tight ends fifteenth, it falls to twenty sixth the rest

691
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: of the way. So everything offensively that Baltimore has done,

692
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: it's more difficult the rest of the way.

693
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 3: I'm sure a lot. That's Steelers twice.

694
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: Steelers twice, you get the Browns again. The Browns already

695
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: beat him once.

696
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: I don't know their schedule off of my head, but yeah,

697
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

698
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: They're the outer of They still got a game against Houston.

699
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 2: Houston's got a good defense to think. They play the

700
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 2: Chargers as well, so that's a tough chief. So they

701
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: play some difficult defenses down the stretch. And the thing

702
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 2: is Baltimore's defense is not good. They stopped the run,

703
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: they can't stop the pass.

704
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

705
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: Interesting, So yeah, so just keep an eye on that.

706
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: We're gonna get to another break. He is the Matt Williamson.

723
00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,880

725

00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 2: Broad back then through from the acol andrer.

865
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 4: Oh, it was a grind for sure. I mean it's

866
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 4: hard to really explain. I feel like you gotta go

867
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 4: through it. But it was a grind.

868
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 5: Uh being able to you know, walk and didn't get

869
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 5: surgery and not being able to walk for for a

870
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 5: little while. You know, it was it was a little different.

871
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 5: But you know, Uh, the type of player I am,

872
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 5: I like to put the work in. I put the

873
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 5: work in to you know, be out here.

874
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 4: Now.

875
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 3: How how similar as the terminology and some of the

876
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 3: system what you were used to and what's the biggest

877
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 3: room blocking?

878
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 4: Uh? Well, the uh, the uh, the formations and stuff

879
00:38:58,400 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 4: the same.

880
00:38:59,320 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 2: Uh.

881
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 5: Coach Z came from the Jets, so he kind of

882
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 5: brought the formations over here. So once I hear a formation,

883
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 5: you can kind of plays all the players the same

884
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 5: in the NFL realistically, so I can kind of process,

885
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 5: eliminate and you know, play fast.

886
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 4: What's your the two dogs off a deal with two

887
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 4: front offense. Uh, I mean a lot.

888
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 5: I mean a lot of big players, a lot of

889
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 5: opportunities for the offense, a lot of first downs, touchdowns,

890
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 5: open more places to open the last though, Uh, I

891
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,240
Speaker 5: mean like we got a dog at running back, dogs

892
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 5: at running back. Uh, that just opened up the past

893
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 5: game for us, you know in the second level.

894
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 4: Uh, they want the double guys on the back end

895
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 4: and helped the run game. So it all just compliment sincerely.

896
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: You mentioned coming back kind of stressed through her, and

897
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: are you considered coming in the middle of the season

898
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 2: maybe don't meet up his speed as the kind of

899
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 2: suits for us.

900
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 4: Uh N, Nah, I don't think so.

901
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 2: Uh.

902
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 4: I mean I made some players today so from him. Uh,

903
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 4: but yeah, Uh, it's it's.

904
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,759

00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 5: on the same pace.

909
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 4: Something like has always been known for. Is that real

911
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 4: of the new.

912
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, because I mean that's something I've been good at

913
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 5: also in my career, was catching.

914
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,000
