1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: At least. Is the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: Williamson on Home of the Black and Gold, Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I'm Dale Lolly, he is Matt Williamson. This

4
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio and it is

5
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,799
Speaker 1: time for the Fantasy Football Focus, And as we do

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: every Friday, we will set our DFS lineup in unres

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: some interesting choices to make this week because some of

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: the teams that are off and then quarterback injuries right right,

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of a big deal. And you

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: know what we're doing with that. Yeah, avoid some Cardinals

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: probably too, you know. So let's let's hit it and

12
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: look at defenses. Let's look at the defenses. We had

13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: a bunch of streaming defenses that we liked earlier in

14
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: the week. Uh so I'm gonna start from the bottom. Jaguars.

15
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: The Vikings are terrible for that cheap, especially if it's

16
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna be make an adjustment. But yeah, yeah, I don't

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: think he plays the Browns are. I think that's a shootout,

18
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: and I think it's a shootout. Packers are hundred. They

19
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: should be cheap. The culture, it might be on the

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: field a lot. It might be on the field a lot.

21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: You're right the Texans. This will be as high as

22
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: the Texans are all year. They hundred. The Cardinals against

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: the Rams, or maybe I mean, I mean they'll probably

24
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,199
Speaker 1: get sacked. They weren't blocking for Stafford John Wolford, although

25
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: he will run not gas. But still, the Steelers are hundred.

26
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: I don't think that's bad. It's not bad at all.

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: The Lions are I'm not interested in that game. The

28
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Broncos are three thousand. That's cheap for a good defense.

29
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: Good defense. Yeah, the Bears are on the other side.

30
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of points in that game.

31
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: The Titans are thirty two hundred against Denver. I guess

32
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: I'd rather pay less for Denver than a little more

33
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: than for the In that game. The Rams are thirty

34
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: three hundred. I think it's gonna be a low scoring game.

35
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 1: Murray's not gonna be able to run as much. I mean,

36
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are thirty four hundred, the Saints are thirty

37
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: five hundreds. Much rather have the Steelers and Saints. The

38
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins are thirty six hundred. I can't do that. The

39
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: Bills are thirty seven hundred, The Raiders are hundred get

40
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: it though, but I get it. The Giants are it

41
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: could be good. Yeah. And then the number one defense

42
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: this week, the Cowboys against the Packers. I get it.

43
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: I mean that makes perfect sense. Kind of like Steelers

44
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: really like the Broncos. There's a two two difference there.

45
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: Who was chap Steelers are cheaper. I think I'd pay

46
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: up for the Broncos. Kinnessee's offense is pretty bad. It's

47
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: pretty bad. I mean, you can convince me of the

48
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: Steelers or others. Well, let's see where we're app see

49
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: if we need the actually we need the extra two

50
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: hucks when we're filling out our lineup, We'll do it there. Okay,

51
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: at tight end, Kelsey might be worth it, might be

52
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: worth it. Hawkinson is a big drop off, uh zach

53
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: Ertz Patrick Firemouth is sts are great against tight ends,

54
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: aren't wonderful from that, but I don't think i'd pay

55
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: for Firemouth this week. Dalton Schultz Green based third against

56
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: supposing Yeah. Rob Tanyan. On the other side of that

57
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: one is seven hundred that Cowboys are eight against supposing ends.

58
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee hundred, Cardinals are first against opposing tight ends. Yeah,

59
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: you got Mike Gasicki att hundred, Cole comment at thirty

60
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: were lately, Greg dulcinch at it's not the worst thing

61
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: ever heard either. Yeah, Dawson Knox at thirty three hundred.

62
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram don't know if he's playing or not. He's questionable,

63
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: but he's thirty three hundred. Foster Moreau Jawan Johnson three

64
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: thousand against the Steelers. Not much a picked for on

65
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: this week. No, Um Gray twenty ain't no thanks? Um? Yeah,

66
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: you didn't say Kittle? Did I just pick a Sunday

67
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: Oh that's why I piss picked Sunday games. That's sorry.

68
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 1: We're on the middle of it. Okay, we'll just do

69
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: so we do. That's the Monday. Now you just picked

70
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Sunday day games. I guess. Yeah, Okay, that's fine. I

71
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: was wondering why it was so thin. I might have

72
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: paid for Kelsey. We could get out of this to

73
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: start over if you want. We're not too far and

74
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: we just because we know what dose. Yeah your I

75
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: don't know how I screwed that up, but yeah, that

76
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: was pretty thin slate to pick, Like, wa, where is Kittle?

77
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: And might think about it that I want him or anything.

78
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: It was just like right, yeah, everybody between Kelsey and

79
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: whoever that number two one? So we want the where

80
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: does this at forty games? That's when that was the

81
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: featured one. That was why I meant to Sunday Money

82
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: Slate with twelve games. That makes a big difference. Good, okay, Yeah,

83
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: have to make it more fun. Yeah, single entry, double up,

84
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 1: that's what we want. There, we go, all right, I've

85
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: already got my lineup in. By the way, we haven't

86
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: yet picked any of the players that I did, but

87
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: we've only picked the defense. Uh, and we had the

88
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: we had the Broncos is only three thousand, same price

89
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: as Denver. I would take the Niners over. Okay, yeah,

90
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: that's let's do that. Yeah, okay, better chance to sack

91
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: tight Ends. Uh so if you look at that, then

92
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: Kittle actually hundreds Dallas Goddard. He wasn't on there either.

93
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: It makes sense I should not have been that big

94
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: gap to Hawkinson. Yeah, kind of leaning towards Kelsey. You

95
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: wanna pay up for this, y We could change that

96
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: if there's other things coming. But that's a nice thing

97
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: to have. We'll plug him in. Yeah. Well yeah, uh.

98
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: Quarterback Josh Allen Jalen Hurts eight thousand, Patrick Mahomes seventy hundred.

99
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: Do you stack that? I'm kind of leaning towards like

100
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: a Daniel Jones or somebody in the middle of the road.

101
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is hundred. Justin Herbert Undid Fields yet either

102
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: they could throw a bunch. Oh yeah, I think they'll do.

103
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: Prescott is sixty hundred, Justin Fields sixty d yeah. Uh.

104
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins six thousand, Russell Wilson M. Tennessee. Defense is

105
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: thirtieth against opposing quarters. Get that, I mean Jimmy g hundred,

106
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones fifty seven hundred, Jones and Fields, Derek Carr hundred.

107
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: I think they're broke. Jared Goffred it's okay. But the

108
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: road golf thing is Andy Dalton, Trevor Lawrence throw like crazy.

109
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: Say that one. I don't think that's bad at all.

110
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: He runs to. Yeah. Jacoby Briset is fifty four hundred.

111
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: The Dolphins are thirty second against opposing quarterbacks Jamis Winson noo,

112
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: Tyler Taylor, Heineke. Since we went so expensive a tight end,

113
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: That's why I was leading the cheaper guys. Lawrence, Fields

114
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: and Jones are my favorites. Let's Lawrence is the cheapest

115
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: to those at und less perfectly final, let's plug that in.

116
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: Might consider Kirk as well. Write the Chiefs are awful

117
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: against slot receivers. Yeah, so something to keep in mind.

118
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: We get the receivers running back McCaffrey hundred, Barkley appealing, Yeah,

119
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: but he can't pay up for everybody, right, No, wonder

120
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: how far is Jonathan Taylor's we down the list eight

121
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: four hundred, Derrick Henry hundred, Nick Chubb eighty one hundred,

122
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook eight thousand, Josh Jacob seventy hundred, Jonathan Taylor

123
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: seventy d I mean they may not score a point,

124
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: but I bet he gets, bet he gets thirty touches

125
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: and right. Alvin Kamar seventy four hundred, Aaron Jones seventy,

126
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: Travis A. T n s Yeah, Miles Sanders A J.

127
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: Dillon sixty seven hundred, Tony Pollard, Yeah, DeAndre Swift, Damian

128
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: Pierce sixty three hundred, James Conner most are. Cleveland run

129
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: defense is bad, though, but now Zeke is six thousand,

130
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: David Montgomery six thousand, Jamal Williams hundred, Khalil Herbert hundred.

131
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: Uh No, No, Williams isn't bad. Singletary is fifty six hundred.

132
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: Do you think they use more? You don't have to

133
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: run the football. Jeff Wilson Jr. I don't know that

134
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: he should be that much cheaper than moster. I don't

135
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: think he should be. He got more touches last week.

136
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: Naji Harris. You don't think he's in danger of not

137
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: being the starter. I do not. He's the same price.

138
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: One here is Jeff Wilson. I think he's gonna get

139
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: the ball. It's gonna be a little fresher. I say,

140
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 1: do it? You want to plug him? Okay? I that's

141
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: one of my guarantees this week is that he breaks

142
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: fifty five yards rushing. Um. I think he scores to.

143
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean, even if it's fifty five, is that worth

144
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: the price? And he'll catch a couple of catch some balls. Yeah.

145
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: I kind of like Taylor as well. I like Taylor.

146
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: I like a t N. I don't wanna be too

147
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: invested in the Jags, but I hear you, I don't

148
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: want to invest in the Colts. Taylor is gonna get

149
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: the ball. A t N is really good either one school.

150
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 1: A t N is a little little cheaper. Yeah, is

151
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: Poulard gonna get enough to be if they are winning

152
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: by double digits in the fourth quarter, which back will

153
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: be in Probably Pollard, right, I think, because they're not

154
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: gonna have Zeke out there hurt. Yeah, so I'm cool

155
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: with Ballard. I mean he could help get him to

156
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: that point. And you see the mop up duty guy

157
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: could be I mean they're green basement awful against running

158
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: just awful. I'm finally Pollard. That would allow us to

159
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 1: probably get a pretty decent receiver that leaves us to

160
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: spend on average on the receiver on four spots. Uh,

161
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: so we won't even look at the high end, guys,

162
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: but you want to try it. Let's let's go see

163
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: here where Kirk's I like that one that doesn't kill us,

164
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: Jordan Josh Palmer. I don't mind that either. He seems

165
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: to really beat He's gone. That would then leave us

166
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 1: five thousand, kind of like Juju is six hours and two.

167
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: On the other side of that, Yes, he's been very

168
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: productive and it's playing quite well for them. So if

169
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: you do that all three of them, that leaves us

170
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: send four thousand to spend on this flex. Okay, if

171
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: we can let's see if we can find a four

172
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: thousand dollar flex. First of all, need the receiver to

173
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: catch a touchdown. Sammy Watkins Quadriolson No um, we're really

174
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: scraping the bottom. kJ Osborne no um, not real appealing. Yeah,

175
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm not liking that. Which one of those receivers we pullo?

176
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: Who's the most expensive? Juju at six thousand? Ye that

177
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: they're all like the same. It was it was Kirk Juju?

178
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 1: And who was the other one? Palmer? Hm? And they're

179
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: all going to give volume. Yeah, say, I like the

180
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: picks can we get? I mean we could pick up

181
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: two grand on the defenses or two hundred on the defenses.

182
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: That's going to get us any better neighborhood At forty

183
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 1: that just gives us um m hm. None of these

184
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: four thousand guys are worth squad. I'm just looking here

185
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: to see if the forty two guys need low forties

186
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: you can get Noah Brown, He's questioned, well, this one

187
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: I kind of like the mac Collins. Yeah, okay, let's

188
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: let's does that get with the defensive changed? The defensive change,

189
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: we can do that? Yeah, we go if we go

190
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: to Steelers at thirty hundred instead of that gets us

191
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: mac Collins. He has big plays and bad defense. Everybody

192
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: else is out. They got nothing like that, right, good point.

193
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. All the other guys are hurt.

194
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: Actually gets your Friarmouth too. In the flex. Here are

195
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: the guys you could get this. It gets you Friarmouth,

196
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden, Columns, Kyle Jus No Brown, Marquez, Valdez, Scantling.

197
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: He's fallen off like Pierce Hm. I think it's between

198
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: Hollands and Friarmouth. Now I will say this, we have

199
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 1: two Steelers here. Here's the problem. This is why these

200
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: guys are so low. New Orleans is number one against

201
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: opposing tight ends and the Cults are number two against

202
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers. But the Saints are really banged up.

203
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: They are Um Hollins is a big play guy. Let

204
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: me see wot's volume guy. Hollins last week had two

205
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: catches for seventeen yards UM. But the week before that

206
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: he has seven for sixty four. The week before they

207
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: had he had two for forty four, but he scored.

208
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: I think that's a move. I just think the Cults

209
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: are gonna be a disaster. I mean, you can convince me.

210
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: I think, I think, but I think you go to farm.

211
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get more targets. I think he's guaranteed.

212
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: I think he's guaranteed more targets. Yeah, I think you

213
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: go with him. Yeah, double tight end offense, that's fine,

214
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: power football. Yeah, we only have two Steelers. We'll get

215
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers deeply Stibody for us. Yeah, he's a wide receiver.

216
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: If we had Firearmouth at tight end of Kelsey at flex,

217
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: we wouldn't even think. Yeah, we wouldn't even wouldn't even care.

218
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna lock it in, locked in, see

219
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: if we get We're back on a little winning streak

220
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: here again. We've won our last two weeks. Yeah, so

221
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: absolutely that brings us to our pick. What was the

222
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: final lineup though? Okay, so we got that Trevor Lawrence

223
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: at quarterback, Naja Harris and Tony Pollard at running back,

224
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, Josh Palmer and Juju Smith Schuster at wide receiver,

225
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey at tight end, Pat Friarmouth in the flex spot,

226
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: and the stee there's defense. That's a very Steeler center.

227
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: They were a little more fewer than I would like,

228
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: but including juju in that. Yeah, right, a little field there,

229
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: but that does tell me where Matt might be leaning

230
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: in this game on Sunday, I do. I mean, I

231
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: think that this is a bad situation for the Saints,

232
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: short week road injuries, Tomlin's you know, knowing Dalton kind

233
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: of not a lot of identity on the Saints right now,

234
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: what's back on and on on. But I don't see

235
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: a ton of points. I mean, Sis don't score a

236
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: lot of points. I got them win in twenty seventeen.

237
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm on the along that same line with you. Um,

238
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 1: you know, I just look at this. I found this

239
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: little stat that is interesting. Mike Tomlin fourteen four and

240
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: two against the spread as a home underdog in his career. Yeah,

241
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: including seven oh and two in the past five seasons. Um,

242
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: seven and two outright in those games they just win them,

243
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have been. Yeah, I think that's this situation

244
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: as well. I look at this as a Steelers winning

245
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: this one. Seen, so we're along the same similar score.

246
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: I just don't know how this this Saints team scores

247
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of points. I don't either. We have the

248
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: Steelers D and dfs. Yeah, so we ended up yeah,

249
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: I think they'll have Yeah, I think of getting Yeah,

250
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 1: I think I think what gets to the quarterback wouldn't

251
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: surprise me. You know, see Highsmith get there again, I

252
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: mean hopefully. Yeah, that that presses the issue a little bit. Um.

253
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: You know, the only way you you lose this game

254
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: is to lose the turnover battle and the Saints don't

255
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: take the ball away. Yeah, I mean the offense could

256
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: be an emic. I mean, I don't have a ton

257
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: of faith in Pittsburgh's offense right now, especially the run game.

258
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: I just expected to be better in the second half. Yeah,

259
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: on that side of the absolutely, But yeah, I think, uh,

260
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: I think we're both leaning in the same way there. Um,

261
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: I hope we're right. And it's in the drive becomes

262
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: a little more fun. String a few wins together in

263
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: a second when this one and then go see what

264
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: happens against Cincinnati next week, and you know who, get

265
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of a winning streak here, maybe you

266
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: turn things around a little bit. I expect them to

267
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: play better in the second half of the season than

268
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: they did they did in the first for sure. Um,

269
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: So we'll see absolutely that is going to do it

270
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,920
