Speaker 1: Williamson and his time for the Fantasy Football Focus. There's

17
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: a game tonight, an interesting one. Yeah, this one the

18
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: boy the This would have been the marquee Thursday game

19
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: of the year and then well and one loss between them,

20
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: so it's it's still a huge game. It's better than

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: you know watching the Jets play the on Thursdays without question.

22
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: But man, I mean we knew Adams probably wasn't gonna

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: play true blizard out. Uh, that is scantling out Packers

24
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: doing another defensive coordinator and now J. J. Watt out

25
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: probably for the year too. I mean, it's kind of

26
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: what you get on Thursdays, you know. I mean, it's

27
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: just things get rushed. But some of those guys, though,

28
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: like COVID COVID blood injury, would have if that game

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: is on a Sunday or if it's on the rest

30
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: of the year, it doesn't matter. Yeah, it's true. So

31
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: I guess you can't blame Thursday for that. But I

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: don't know that count Rogers out though. No, it's tough

33
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: to bet against that Guy's the line on that move

34
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: to six and a half, I know, I think it

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: was up. Yeah, I don't know that Adams is worth

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: that much. Yeah, I don't know that any non quarterback.

37
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Aaron Jones catches a ton of passes.

38
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: I think Cobb catches no, at least a handle, if

39
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: not more. You're fired. Any all three of those guys up, Tanyan, Cobb, Jones, Yeah,

40
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: I would hope you could do better than Cobb just

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 1: in terms of what your receiver roster looks like. But

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean, if you've got a B or these Giants

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: guys or some injured dudes or someone on buy, it's

44
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 1: not the worst filling dude. No. I think his over

45
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: under on catches on the DraftKings, I looked a little

46
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: bit of guys four and a half. Yeah, going over

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: four and a half catches for Randall Cobb in this game. Yes,

48
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 1: So I mean if he catches, he catches at least five,

49
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: five or six, it's gonna get like eight or nine targets. Yeah,

50
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: I think he was somebody's gonna get those targets. I mean,

51
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't I wouldn't bet he gets to a hundred yards, no,

52
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, I mean he'll be short controlled and Thelbanes

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: still certainly know where he's at. Oh yeah, yeah, but

54
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: he'll be working out of the slot and loves him

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 1: and they'll the Packers will do some things to free

56
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: him up. I bet Jones gets at least that many

57
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: of receiving receptions too, And I bet you also see

58
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: him lined up as a wide receiver, you know, with

59
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: Dylan in the backfield. Do you think you see some

60
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: some of that which makes maybe Dylan's feasible. Yeah, would

61
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: you would you play Dylan? I think they run the ball.

62
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna run the ball, control the game, game management,

63
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 1: you know. I would think that's the plan, is trying

64
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: to keep that Cardinal's offense off the field as much

65
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: as possible. I think Dylan's reflex. You got Aaron Rodgers

66
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: or the Packers six and oh without Davante Adams. Yeah,

67
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: and Jones numbers are huge. With Jones, his numbers are

68
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: just off the charts, like he could be a monster.

69
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Rogers gets the ball to the right people

70
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: and to be that's Jones and and then from there

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: it's probably Cobb and Dylan will probably run more than

72
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: he usually does. So it's not the worst fantasy matchup.

73
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals are tough. I mean, Hopkins is a percent either

74
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: and that's kind of been over overlooked. But I think

75
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: he plays or or any of those other guys starters.

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean Kyler of course, but Tyler yeah hurts because

77
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: the tight end position. Yeah, I'm taking urge Overtonian with Hopkins. Yeah,

78
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: with Hopkins banged up, maybe if fire up Christian Kirk

79
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: a little bit. I like Kirk more than Green or more. Yeah,

80
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: but not by leaves and bounds, you know. So I

81
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: guess it depends on your roster as always. But and

82
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I think you start Edmonds. Yeah, you

83
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: probably don't have enough running back options. Connor has been

84
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: really good. But because I think they're gonna be winning.

85
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: That's the thing. If you think they're gonna be winning

86
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: most of the game, Connor is a good option for you, right,

87
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: And he's got a good chance to score. Yeah, I'll

88
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: be interesting because I haven't been a chance to I've

89
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: seen some of the highlights and things of that nature.

90
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: And you know, there's some second guessing out there in

91
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: a part of Steeler fans that well, they they should

92
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: resigned James Connor. Look, I said the same thing, but

93
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: he Connor had would have had to have want him

94
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: to come back to this situation where he was the

95
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: guy and now is no longer the guy. Right. I mean,

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: if you make that signing, you haven't drafted Harris yet,

97
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't have maybe not draft Harris, right, you know,

98
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: Like I thought, Connor would be fine to come back,

99
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: but he'd be a better version of a Lodge or Snell, right,

100
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: and your backfield will be better. You're still probably not

101
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: using him a lot, probably not, maybe more so, maybe

102
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: more more than the other guys. But is he playing

103
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: special teams for you know, you know that's that's right now.

104
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: I think he would be. Yeah, what I considered a

105
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: two million a year and given him the running back snaps? Sure,

106
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: but if he has run on kickoff, they've been They've

107
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,239
Speaker 1: been down that road with him before. Like for me once,

108
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: shame on me, twice shame one. I'm happy he's doing

109
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: well though. Everybody looking around the league here, Uh Antonio

110
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: Brown with that ankle injury, did not participate again on Thursday.

111
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: This is a long term injury. This it might be

112
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: a yeah, I r might be the next move or

113
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: whatever is there by week. I think it's really late. Yeah,

114
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: I think it's like or something. Again, it wasn't last

115
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: year too. I don't know if we're going to see

116
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: him for a while. No, but Rob Gronkowski practice for

117
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: the second consecutive day he was limited. Is he ready

118
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: to be fired back up? If he's in the lineup,

119
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: are you're starting Gronk? Yeah? I mean, I'm sorry. The

120
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: other guys who have stepped forward here over the less

121
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: since tight end, the bottom six of the tight end

122
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: of change since Gronk was one of them. I mean,

123
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm playing him over urchin Tanyan tough matchup this week though,

124
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: do they go again Saints in New Orleans? Yeah, now

125
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: that shoulda be a tight game, and it probably won't be.

126
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: Brady's best game probably won't be. It's never Evans best

127
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: game against Ladderman and they could use they be in that.

128
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: I probably would fire up. I mean, I think you're

129
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: safer firing up Earths or Tanyan over over Grounk. Yeah,

130
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: it might be right, especially coming off injury. How much

131
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: are you gonna play? I mean they had Howard and

132
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: Bright two that can spell him from bring him in easy. Uh.

133
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, with a hip injury, was listed as limited today.

134
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: That's a new one for him. Yeah, that concerning to you.

135
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm hoping you and Mike Whites your quarterback. I can't

136
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: play him if he's he hasn't gone over fifty yards

137
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: since week four. It's Carter the only startable jet and

138
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:30,559
Speaker 1: he's really a flex or RB two on his best day. Yeah,

139
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean, I would love Moore and

140
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: Davis and those guys a step up as the season

141
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: goes on, and it might happen, but right now I

142
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: can't start. It's just they're like five or six offenses

143
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL right now that I don't want a

144
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: thing to do with. I would say the Bears and

145
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: the Jets are the rock bottom. Yeah, I mean just crippled.

146
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: And guys the rookie quarterbacks that are early picks. And

147
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: say this all the time. If the Steelers go with

148
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback and early other than Sicky, who's maybe

149
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Wattle who started ballt of the Miami offense, especially this

150
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: week against I'm not a gasket miamon, but he's probably

151
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: on the Edmunds level. Not against Miami this week, not

152
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: against Buffalo. Buffalo should say probably not, but they throw

153
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: so much. I mean they still dump it too. I'm

154
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: not a believer. I'd be in I'm running back market.

155
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: You might have six catches this week for twenty yards, yeah,

156
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: and six carries. I mean, how many Eagles do you

157
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: want right now? None? Right? Well, Smith and Goddard, I

158
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: don't guess. But is not helping matters. I mean, you know,

159
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: we've we've got some investment in the Washington offense right now.

160
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: That's not pretty, not pretty, but you're gonna start. You know,

161
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: Pine kis the NFL quarterback though, Sales Jones, you know. Yeah,

162
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: next is the top twelve, and unfortunately we can't really

163
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: get gibbson out the lineups. The mckissic's useful. I mean,

164
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: I don't think the Jags are in that category yet

165
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: or the Giants. Yeah, I mean there's there's at least

166
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: one guy off of some of those rosters. San Francisco

167
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: you're starting Debon no or what. Yeah, but those offenses

168
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: can support a fantasy player. Yeah, I mean even Chicago,

169
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: I'm probably starting Herbert yeahs. Jets are the worst. Yeah,

170
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: I agree. Uh now, hem Hines with the rib injury

171
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: was upgraded to a full Patriots either they're not as bad,

172
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: but that's a tough fantasy yeah. Plus the way that

173
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: they do it with his running, yeah, exactly, just the way. Yeah,

174
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: and they don't put a lot of points. Um, I'm sorry,

175
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: what was the latest Hines with the rib injury? Unfortunately

176
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: good for Taylor. Unfortunately for Jonathan Taylor owners, that's not

177
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: good news. But um, yeah, I think it is good

178
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: news because Taylor caught a lot of passes last year,

179
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: a lot of that rivers just dumping it off. He's

180
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: notorious for dumping it off. But I wonder if Taylor

181
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: would play more on third downs if Heinz was out.

182
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: He was upgraded today. Oh I thought, okay, I was

183
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: I interrupted you when you said originally, and okay, that's

184
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: definitely yeah. Uh. T Y Hilton with the quad injury

185
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: was upgraded too limited on Thursday. If you're starting Wentz,

186
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: I guess those things are good. Yeah, otherwise I don't

187
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: know to change as much. It wouldn't change my Pittman outlook.

188
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: And then finally, Jonathan Taylor was upgraded as well, uh

189
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: to a full practice, so he's good to go. Is

190
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: there about five backs you'd trade Taylor for right now?

191
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know if there's five. Yeah, I mean

192
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: I think I trade him for Nause Zeke. I don't

193
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: know if I trade him for Zeke got both of them, Yeah,

194
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to trade either one

195
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: of them. I think they're on even yeah, top five.

196
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: I mean Henry of course, probably Camara, but you know Cook,

197
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: they just traded for mark Ingram again. I don't know

198
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: what to think of that in terms of because Kamara's

199
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: the value has been this year is that he's running

200
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: the ball more. They obviously don't want to do that

201
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: with him anymore. That's why they trade for Ingram, who

202
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: can be that guy to pound it between the tackles. Yeah,

203
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: I think they realize. I bet their tradingers are like,

204
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: you gotta quit giving the ball to Kamara this many

205
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: times touches last sime. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he looked

206
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: great doing it. But he's not gonna get the five

207
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: catches like he always does either. Yeah, they know he's

208
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: a sort of an inside source that knows Peyton a

209
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 1: little bit. That just says they don't think he's a

210
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: full time player, you know, they think he's a wonderful player.

211
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 1: They don't they know he's not a They don't want

212
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 1: him handling that kind of workload because but that Ingram

213
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: isn't relevant. He's not relevant, But he's going to be

214
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: enough to hurt. He's gonna take ten carries off of

215
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: Kamara's plate, and he'd be on my watch list though.

216
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd like this. I can envision him being

217
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: the old Ingram when Michael Thomas is there. I'm talking

218
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: like two weeks down the road. He's acclimated, good line.

219
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean he needs an acclimate. That's he's playing this week.

220
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: He's going back to where he played before. The office

221
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: hasn't changed. Peyton is still there. You know. Peyton came

222
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: out today say oh, yeah, we're playing hes. If he playing,

223
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: he can get carries this week, he might be their

224
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: leading carriers. Yeah, he said, said to who he is,

225
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 1: he's kind of interesting. Actually, more I think about him,

226
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: and he may get He can get the goal line carries. Yeah.

227
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to be great, right, just be hard.

228
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: Uh we've mentioned clay Pool back Abron limited this today. Uh.

229
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: Chris Evans, with a hamstring injury, did not participate in

230
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday. That's interesting because they play the Jets

231
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: this week. It's not gonna be all. They're not gonna

232
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: run Joe Mixon thirty five times against the Jets. I

233
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: would think not this would have been a good chance

234
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: for them. Hey let's get you know, Pete. Ryan's gonna

235
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: get some carries. Could have been an opportunity for Chris

236
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: Evans to maybe get some garbage time stuff and maybe

237
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: Pete Ryan's of what the heck flex pype of guy? Yeah,

238
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, he could have the whole fourth quarter in

239
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 1: passing down duties and gets some bad defense in the

240
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: first half, and next thing you know, he's got twelve Yeah. Yeah,

241
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: falls on the end zone like I got fourteen points

242
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 1: on him. Uh. The Smith with a headache returned to

243
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: practice Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice. Headache. That offense will

244
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: give me a headache. Yeah, must have been watching film, right.

245
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: I keep running all these patterns and I'm open. Not Smith.

246
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm talking hurt Is going to all my super flex

247
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: leagues and those type of things. If you haven't put

248
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: in for Minshure yet, you should because there's I bet

249
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: he starts get It's just like the number three or

250
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: four scoring quarterback in fantasy football. Yeah, but if that's

251
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: your yeah, I mean, I don't know how much longer

252
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna keep feeding your guys. Teams, if you have

253
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: Hurts as your better number one quarterback, it might be

254
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: too late to trade him too, because I think everybody Yeah,

255
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the flat O trade was too obvious. Jamal

256
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Williams was added to Thursday's injury report for the Lions

257
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: with a thigh injury. They got him a limited uh

258
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: moniker on that they're playing the Eagles. They might win

259
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: that game. They might, I mean calling for a quarterback. Yeah. Yeah,

260
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: you're not gonna say that often, but Jared Goff, it's

261
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: a great swift game. Either Williams slaves or not. Every

262
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: game is a great swift game. I mean, Swift is

263
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: actually in that Taylor's realm. They I wish opposing teams

264
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: would come to the realization that Swift is their number

265
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: one receiver and quit doubling and triplettle easier. Yeah, he's

266
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: gonna have a tough go, but that's driving me nuts.

267
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: But at least he's healthy now. Miles Sanders, though with

268
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: that ankle injury, did not practice today. He's obviously they're

269
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: playing the Lions and saying that Kenneth game well and

270
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: Boston Scott will split carries against the Lions, get two

271
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: and three or something. How about this idea outside the

272
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: box thinking real low ball offer to the Miles Sanders owner,

273
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: just based on talent, and he's probably fed up with him.

274
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: I would say he's got to be close to free

275
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: at this point. I mean, they're not suggesting the cutting Sanders.

276
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: But if you have Alan Robbins and sitting and run it. Yeah,

277
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: and Robinson, you know, we can cry about our high

278
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: picks or whatever. You know. I like to do that

279
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: throughout the season. And Iouk or Robinson and somebody I love.

280
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: That's worth nothing. Now throw him on the bottom and

281
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: roster and hope things turn around. Yeah, Taysom Hill, with

282
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: a concussion, did not practice again on Thursday. That's great news.

283
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: If you're trying to for Jamis Winston, without question, Hills

284
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: a nightmare. Thin do you think Jamis Winston wants to

285
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: have a good game this weekend? Is his former team

286
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: with a really banged up secondary, they might win that game.

287
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: The more I think about it, I think they'll be

288
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: two good defenses, which is exactly the Saints formula well coached.

289
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: You know, as long as Jamis doesn't throw cold, lose

290
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: his mind and throws all of a sudden, they're they're crappy.

291
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 1: Receivers are gonna be running open in that secondary. I'm

292
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: not I'm not saying I'd even start them, But Tassom

293
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,360
Speaker 1: he'll being out hurt helps Ingram too. I mean he

294
00:15:57,480 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: might be the short yards back and yeah, I mean

295
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: Ingram is a little more appealing than I originally thought

296
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: with this trade. Um Deante Harris returned to practice uh

297
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: set for the Saints on Thursday. He's dealing with the hamstring.

298
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: Um missed week seven, Um after the bye week, but

299
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: now he's back. It just helps Winston a little bits

300
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: another receiver. Yeah yeah um. Aaron Wilson of Sports Talk

301
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: seven ninety writes that the Texans are expected to increase

302
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay's workload following the Ingram trade. I was actually

303
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: meant to bring that up with the Ingram trade, like

304
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: I thought it'd be Johnson. I mean, instead of four backs,

305
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: now they're going to use two or one and not

306
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: score any point behind a bad line. I mean Ingram

307
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: was averaging three point two yards of carry. I don't

308
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: know if that was necessarily him there. I don't blame

309
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: any of his film, right, Coax is the only usable

310
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 1: guy there. I think what you want is Tyrod Taylor

311
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: to come back. Yeah, and then maybe right because that's

312
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: what that's his game, that's his game. But yeah, Texans

313
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: are definitely. I can't believe it took us that long

314
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: to talk about offenses that we don't want anything part

315
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: of you know, we didn't mention Houston. They got one guy,

316
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: one guy, and he was complaining. Now he went traded. Yeah, well,

317
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean he saw ingramly he was like, what's going

318
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: on here? He was outspoken this morning about something. Yeah,

319
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: he's changes to him because in the offseason he was

320
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: talking about how he didn't want to be traded because

321
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: he's been traded like six times in his career. His

322
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: career is remarkable. It's not because he's a bad guy

323
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: or wears out his welcome. He gets traded for first round.

324
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: Everybody wants him, and everybody wants him, and they just

325
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: keep moving the guy. He's not getting the first round picking. No,

326
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: not anymore. But he can move. Uh speaking guys who

327
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: can move. Evan Ingram, with a calf injury, was limited

328
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: for Thursday's practice. Can't move him wile he's hurt. Yeah,

329
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: and he's not a top twelve tight end for fans.

330
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: Michael Popp or Michael Thomas. Yeah, Michael Pop that might

331
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: be his new name. Um did not return to Saints

332
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday. He's been eligible to resume practicing since

333
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: last week. Uh Ian Rapp report reported ten days ago

334
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: he was still a couple of weeks away. By not

335
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: practicing in week eight, he will not be back this week.

336
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll be ready back to come back in week nine,

337
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 1: but they're saying he's gonna need probably a couple of

338
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: weeks too, kind of ramp things up. That's a foot injury. Yeah,

339
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: how much cardio is he doing right now? Like that

340
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: kind of all that kind of stuff. Can you run

341
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: sixty routes? Can you run fifteen routes? You know? Right?

342
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: I said that when he got hurt, he needs to

343
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: play one good game before I hit the check the

344
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: box button. You know, I drafted him, but my team

345
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: is like super deep, so I've been able to hold

346
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: onto him the entire time. I'm just biding my time

347
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: for him to come back, and then hopefully, if he's

348
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: that guy, it happens before the fantasy trade deadline, so

349
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: I can quickly or somebody else something. I don't care

350
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: what it is. You know, in the end, I mean

351
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: your situation aside, because you have a good team. If

352
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: it's not till week ten he gets in the line up,

353
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: he probably isn't worth the pick. Where people poke him,

354
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Most people thought that I

355
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: took him in like the tenth round. Yeah, yeah, I mean,

356
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: I know he wasn't expensive one draft. Other people were

357
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: taking their second string quarterback. I took Michael Thomas. Yeah,

358
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: but it's one other guy he didn't have for seven weeks.

359
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: They didn't draft a backup quarterback and just kind of

360
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: rolled with Doc. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Uh. Deebo

361
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 1: Samuel returned to practice. He's dealing with a little calf injury.

362
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: He is just tough as nails. Yeah, he's great, playing

363
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: like crazy. Yeah. I don't I don't care who starts

364
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 1: at quarterback for them, and they find this week he's

365
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: their guy. They get him the football, It doesn't matter

366
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: how they do it. Shanahan designs plays for him for

367
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: him to run. Yeah, whatever, we're gonna get the ball

368
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: to debot on this play. Yeah. Well, now, what is this?

369
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Wilson the Sports Talk seven ninety who just said

370
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: that didn't need to say something to say. The Texas

371
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: are expected to feature David Johnson following marketing. I'm sure,

372
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: what do you write, Like a bunch of things here

373
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: that all contradicted each other, which is it? Well, Johnson

374
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: makes more sense. I mean, he's had the better career.

375
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: He's bigger. You can't write both things both cannot be true. Well,

376
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: I guess they could be if they both are going

377
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: to see an increased worklod Well. Gee, thanks for that. Yeah,

378
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: if we featured three and now we're gonna feature two,

379
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: they go up from thirty three of fifty. Yeah, but

380
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of cheating, Yeah, a little bit, a little bit. Uh.

381
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox news on him with that hand surgery. He

382
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: had surgery on the hand, did not participate in Thursday's practice. Uh.

383
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: He if he had surgery, you can expect a few

384
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: more weeks. Yeah, it's important for tight ends to have

385
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,360
Speaker 1: their use of their hands. I would imagine if since

386
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: it was a broken hand, they probably put some kind

387
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: of either screwiser a plate in their detective and make

388
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: it heal a little bit easier. He's expected to miss

389
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: three weeks, so yeah, I wonder if they would throw

390
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: a low ball offer at Evan Ingram or something like that.

391
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: They'll probably just play for They'll probably play for receiver.

392
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: Just yeah, there was frum more receivers. It's probably good

393
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: for day Davis. I mean, you're good for Manuel Sanders,

394
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: really good for Manuel Sanders, but things were good for

395
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: him already. Yeah, maybe Beasley a little bit. Yeah. Yeah.

396
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott said on Thursday he's dealing with that calf injury.

397
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: Said he believes he can suit up for Week eight

398
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: against the Vikings, but he's unsure if it's just his decision.

399
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: M hm, okay, not much to add to it. You

400
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: start him. I mean he's coming off a bye. I

401
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: kind of brushed it off when it happened, thinking of

402
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: he'll be fine by post by keep throwing touchdown pains.

403
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: He gets three or four every week. It'll be a

404
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: fun game to talk about tomorrow though. I think Vikings

405
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: Cowboys could be a competitive game. I kind of like

406
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: the Vikings and yeah, in Minnesota kind of cowboy defense

407
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: is not great. They don't get turnovers, they don't win.

408
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: They get himself. Yeah. Terris Marshall, with the concussion, missed

409
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: a practice again on Thursday. Even if he was healthy,

410
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: That offenses is too miserable, right, it's broken. It's broken.

411
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: I mean d J. Moore is putting up numbers, but

412
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: should be put him double the numbers. Yeah, yeah, same

413
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 1: with the same Anderson. Julio Jones remains sideline on Thursday.

414
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: So that's the bad news. Like Thursday would have been

415
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: his day to come back. Mrs every Wednesday miss the Thursday.

416
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: He's not ownable. People need to get over the This

417
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: is like Odell Beckham right now, he's like the same

418
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: forget the name on the back of the jersey and

419
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: he's Dan Smith. If his name is Dan Smith, is

420
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: anybody starting him in fantasy football? No? No, they just aren't.

421
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: He would be. I wouldn't cut him either one of them.

422
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: But but don't count on them until you see a

423
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: week or two of production. And I think that's the

424
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: way they handle those guys. Don't just be like I

425
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: remember when he was awesome three years ago, and you

426
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: might be able to sucker somebody into trading for one

427
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: of those guys who doesn't really pay attention. But anybody

428
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: that pays attention knows that they haven't been They've been

429
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: garbage and their bottom of the roster garbage. Right. You're like,

430
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: I bring my son Allies fifteen and he's like, and

431
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: he desperately is in search of a flex guy this week,

432
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: he asked me yesterday. It's like, what about Julio? I

433
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: could probably get him, you know if it's my flex.

434
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, yeah, I mean it's not worth it.

435
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: He's looking for every week starting flex type guys. I

436
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: mean maybe, but no, I'm not giving you much for him.

437
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: Um Joe. Judge said he believes Ka Darius, Tony, and

438
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, who are dealing with ankle and knee injuries,

439
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 1: are making good progress, and he's pretty optimistic they could

440
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: practice on Friday. I have this dilemma, and I'm sure

441
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,479
Speaker 1: others are in the same boat. Like they play Monday, right,

442
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: so like I can play a lesser dude in my flex.

443
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: I even have Shepherd and Tony hoping that one's plays,

444
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: But if they don't, you're out of luck to Shephard

445
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, I don't even know who he is. Uh.

446
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: Judges also optimistic. I knew one of those two of play,

447
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: and I think their starters. Judge is also optimistic. That's

448
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: sake on Barkley good return on Friday. But I guess

449
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: the flip side is they get one more day to

450
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: get healthy. Yeah, gotta make that roster decision sooner rather

451
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: than later. Yeah, but you can't wait till Sun Saturday. Yeah,

452
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: that's a Saturday news can be a little everyone. I've

453
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: covered Saturday practices, let's put it that way. And you know,

454
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: usually there's where there's fifteen people they're watching practice, there's

455
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: like four and I'm one of four. Yeah, that's when

456
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: the Steelers will be in that boat next week, you

457
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: know where they'll have a Saturday practice because they play

458
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: Monday night. What a great Monday night or that'll be Uh,

459
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: Steelers probably won't break the might get to see the

460
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: Steelers fan bases um might get Steelers see the Steelers

461
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: break that team sack record of ten in a single game.

462
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: Brownies that number on the um. The Cleveland Playing Dealer

463
00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 1: reports Baker Mayfield was looking good in Thursday's practice. I

464
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: doubt they're asking him to do a whole lot. The

465
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: one thing we didn't mention about this. It's probably not

466
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: a big deal because they're both veterans ben around the block,

467
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: but most quarterbacks that are starting quarterbacks want the whole

468
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: week of reps of practice. Neither one is going to

469
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: get that, yeah right right. Of course you're not playing

470
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: him if you have if he starts, I mean, he's

471
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: not a fantasy option. Davante Parker with that shoulder and

472
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: hamstring declined to guarantee he will shoot up in Week

473
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: eight against the Bills. That's really not his decision. So

474
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: it's not he's not really usable either. They've kind of,

475
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've moved on. Just Getseck's better

476
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: and brings more to the table if you're counting on

477
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: two of this week, which isn't the worst idea. I

478
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: think you'd like Parker to be healthy, but I'm not

479
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: playing Parker. I don't know if I want to play

480
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: two against that Bill's defense in Buffalo. No. I mean,

481
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: if Lamar's your starter and two is your back up,

482
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: one of those types of deals, you know, but two

483
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: throws the ball a lot. They have to have a

484
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,640
Speaker 1: running backs uh, speaking and running backs uh. Nick Underhill

485
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 1: of new Lands dot Com said the Saints signing of

486
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: mark Ingram this goes to what we talked about. Will

487
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: allow the team to move out Kamara around the field,

488
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: get him some looks as an outside receiver and from

489
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: the slot. Put it on the underhills. But put your set,

490
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: your spidy senses off a little bit there, like they

491
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: don't have any receivers. They're best guy is maybe when

492
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,400
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, and he starts catching ten

493
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: passes the game as the slut guy and Michael Thomas, Yeah,

494
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: I mean get them to him quick, go out of bounds, yeah,

495
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: five yards. Peyton does a great job of getting him

496
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: the full scheme it up. Yeah, So that Ingram move

497
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: I think pays off for them more than I thought

498
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: when I read it this morning. Who cares. It's kind

499
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: of a nice story going back to his whole team

500
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: the first round pay Kaisman, they'll they'll get something out

501
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: of it. He'll get Yeah, as long as he stays healthy,

502
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: he'll they'll be It's better than what they've had. He

503
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: runs hard downhill and knows the system and as a

504
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: professional back and pick up the blitz, you know, do

505
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 1: all the little things. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But speaking

506
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: you the little things, we've got a little thing called
