It's been a really, really tough year in 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.960 that super Flex makes it makes a waiver wire really 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:09.080 really interesting.

Well, my weekend was 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:38.200 much better than my fantasy football weekend. Overall, it looks 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.440 like I'm gonna go two and six for the second 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.160 straight weeks, So I got some work to do.

How was your weekend? Into that 0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:53.040 in a bit. My weekend was full of wedding stuff, 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.320 which was great. Of course, a lot of paying attention 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:59.080 here college football today, no doubt, pro football, talking all 0:02:59.080 --> 0:03:01.040 the other Sunday shows. A lot was going on here 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.239 at the Sports Screen TV network. But what was I 0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:07.840 also going on a lot of wedding stuff.

A lot going on. 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:18.040 This is starting to become real. I'm greedy. It's very real. 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:19.840 It's very real for you. I gotta I got a 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.160 little bit more time, very real two years away, so 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.919 I'm I'm chilling for now. Yesterday it was real. Yesterday 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.840 was really extremely real. You know it was just like 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.679 holy crap, like this is happening. Watch a lot. But 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.880 you know the best problem like two months to Yeah, 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.880 it's like six weeks.

You 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:46.920 know what I'm going I'm going to Greg's wedding on 0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:49.960 my birthday. We'll be seeing a heavy birthday to me. 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.800 Oh well, maybe just like my table all right, you 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:56.040 just tell the other people at your table. Yeah, you know, 0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.400 just introduce myself for maybe a little be people I 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.160 know they're I don't we don't know, you know, I 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:04.080 couldn't tell you. Um. Alright, So on the show today 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.760 we really get into everything and how it affects winners losers. 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.880 We're gonna do all that, uh, coming up in a 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.560 little bit. I wanna um, I wanna wait before we 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.400 get into the big the biggest stories, and I want 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.040 to do that after the race. We have time to 0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.320 kind of elaborate here. So let me start with the 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.680 Dallas Cowboys, who this a coming week they play Miami. 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.600 They are twenty one and a half point favorites opened up, 0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:31.840 which is nuts. But Miami maybe the worst team we've 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:33.480 ever seen. I mean, they got demolished by the New 0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:35.640 England Patriots yesterday. It was closed for a little while. 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.080 Like they are, truly, frank the worst team I've I've 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:42.560 ever seen, and that's the Miami defense. Yeah, and that's 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.640 not even an overstatement either. They are that bad. You 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:49.400 know Ryan Fitzpatrick throwing two pick sixes if you were 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.760 playing against the Patriots defense yesterday and fantasy, my god, 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:54.560 I am sorry, because I was facing them in a 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.080 few leagues. I haven't you know, you don't normally see 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.520 defenses give you forty points in fantasy football matchups. Well, 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:03.720 guess what happened to this guy in two different leagues yesterday. 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.039 So the Dolphins are really that bad. I mean, they 0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:07.760 gotta turn it over to Josh Rosen. You gotta at 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.400 least see what you have in the kid. I understand 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.120 the offensive line is terrible. It seems like everybody is 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:16.080 terrible on this team. It's not entirely true. I don't 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.840 think Kenyan Drake is a bad player, but when you're 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.920 put in this type of predicament, you're pretty much set 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:23.880 up to fail. You're not really You're not gonna have 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.480 anywhere to run. How about a few times yesterday Calen 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.479 Belage threw him the ball I believe he one fumbled 0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.760 off of his hands, went into a pick six. The 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.600 other one they threw at him, he ducked out of 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.080 the way. Greg and he ducked out of the way. 0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.520 This is unbelievable. I've never seen this. We I watched it. 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:43.040 I rewound. You want to pass me a football at 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.159 you you can, you can duck out of the way here, 0:05:45.200 --> 0:05:46.720 we got one up here, we got one over there. 0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:49.400 All right, let's get a little let's get let's get 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:54.280 this camera actually going to I'm gonna I'm gonna give 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.359 you a play by play here. I am Ryan Fitzpatrick. 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.080 You are Kleen Belage. So I'm gonna come out of 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.560 the backfield. You're coming out of the backfield. Uh, I'm 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.200 standing into the pocket. I'm about to get killed because 0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:07.360 I'm Ride pit Patrick. I just hit the air condisher. 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:12.200 But yeah, that's that's basically how it went down, right, 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.120 tried to throw the ball to Cailon Ballage and here, 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.680 duck we're gonna do when we're time, okay, all right, 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:26.040 like staying in the pocket. That's exactly how it went down. 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:27.800 For those of you who are watching on Zoomo channel 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:32.640 seven nineteen right now, Halon Ballage yesterday. Literally, this guy playing, 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.600 he ducked and thought it was going to somebody passed him. 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.320 That's what he thought. I mean, if you knew the play, 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:39.960 then you should know that there's no one running around 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:44.000 behind you. It was unbelievable. He couldn't believe they were 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.400 throwing in the ball out of the backfield. The Dolphins 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:48.719 are that beat by the way. Immediately following that play, 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:52.919 Kenyan Drake crushed the trade he has he has. Kenyan 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.600 Drake had five catches yesterday. He actually, you know for PPR, 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.760 you almost set ten points, not horrible, were than most 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:00.880 of my players. But you know what I thought about this, Craig, 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:02.720 if he's gonna get traded, where's where is he gonna 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:06.800 get traded too? There's not really you know, I'm looking 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.880 around the league. I was thinking about it. Maybe Tampa Bay, 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.680 but even they're like they'd probably use Peyton Barber over him. 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.679 I don't. I don't know that there's anywhere that would 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.840 work very well. Fresh Yeah, Um, I don't know. I 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:20.960 think about it. I think it was Yeah. I mean 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:22.440 I kind of went through the teams like no one 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.560 really needs a running back all that much. And then 0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:27.480 if he goes somewhere where he's just a third down back, 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.800 like it doesn't really help all that much either. He's 0:07:30.840 --> 0:07:33.160 proven he can be a workhorse, Like, what are we doing? 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.520 What are we doing? I guess like Jacksonville is a 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:40.600 third down back works? Sure? You know, yes, yeah, but 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:42.600 I don't. I think they were invested in Leonard for 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.880 net and they've been throwing him the football to six 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:48.080 receptions in each of his first day, not really rushing well. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.400 But you know, if you listen to the BFS, you 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.640 knew that obviously. All right, let's take a break here. 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:57.480 When we come back on the BFF today, winners from 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:02.080 week two, little losers from week two.

And what 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.079 did it happen to? This better well, since they only 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:08.960 combined to score thirty eight points, they were sixteen points 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:12.319 shy of the total sixteen times, Ladies and gentlemen, it 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:16.040 cost the man forty thousand dollars the better because they 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.080 did not cover week game six to seven m Eastern 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.360 on f T S Y Radio and on Sumo TV 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:32.760 channel seven nineteen.

I won, I won, Losers, 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:56.360 You suck. You are one pathetical loser and I have 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:03.720 no idea. That's right twinners losers, and that right here 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.520 on to be a best spot screen TV network, ZUMO 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:11.120 channel seven nineteen. Get on the grid, Frank. Let's begin 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:15.840 with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who not only lost the game yesterday, 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:19.959 but lost their quarterback, the Big Ben Roethlisberger for this 0:12:20.120 --> 0:12:22.839 season alan elbow injuring you saw it as some of 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.040 these deep passes, he kept holding on that elbow and like, 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.959 what's going on? Then he didn't come back. He was 0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:29.160 standing on the sidelines like all right, can he come back? Now? 0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:32.319 He did it and he won't for the rest of 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.560 the season. He's gonna need surgery on his elbow. Could 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.120 be Tommy John I think man out for the season. 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.520 Mason Rudolph your new starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:45.400 That they are upset they traded away Joshua Dobbs. Now 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:51.200 Mason Rudolf's the quarterback. What does his du to everybody? 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:56.800 James Conner, Judice Smith, Schuster, James Washington, Advance McDonald and 0:12:56.920 --> 0:13:00.560 that piece of crap bumb You can't say any more words, 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:05.520 dont Moncrief? Well, Dante Moncrief as already a drop candidate, Uh, 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.520 much like he drops every ball that's thrown his way. 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.000 I looked into some snap couts before we came on 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.160 the air here, Greg and Dante moncreeve played only sixteen 0:13:14.320 --> 0:13:17.920 offensive snaps. Screwed up and he's still screwed up. James 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.840 Washington actually was second among wide receivers in terms of snaps. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.320 So I get to him in a little bit. Let's 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.800 start off with Juju and James Conner. Juju was he 0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.360 was fine yesterday five for eighty four on eight targets. 0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:31.320 We saw him have a forty five yard catch which 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:33.920 actually came from Mason Rudolph. You know, I think the 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.880 jury is still gonna be out. Mason Rudolph has been 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.439 in the league for a few seasons. He has a 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:39.800 third round pick out of Oklahoma State. It didn't look 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.480 terrible yesterday, twelve for nineteen hundred and twelve yards, five 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:47.240 point nine yards per attempt through two touchdowns. Obviously, Juju, 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.079 you have to downgrade him a little bit, you know, 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.040 whereas he was a top five wide receiver drafted in 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:54.240 most drafts. You know, I tweeted out earlier, I think 0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.480 he's still a high end wide receiver too. Maybe that's 0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.480 you know, a little bit too optimistic, but I think 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.240 he's still in that, you know, top fifteen, top twenty 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.320 wide receiver discussion. Obviously, we'll see, you know, what kind 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.040 of report he develops with Mason Rudolph. James Conner, we 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.120 still have to see what's going on with his knee injury. 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:13.880 He injured his knee in this one. He left. He 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.240 only had eleven carries for thirty three yards, which would 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.920 make Jalen Samuel's obviously, you know, a high end RB 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.000 two if anything were to happen to James Conner. So 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.000 we have to see what's going on with him first 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.960 and foremost with his knee injury. But look obviously losing 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:28.880 Ben Roethlisberger, a Hall of Fame quarterback, you know, someone 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:30.760 who has performed very well over the past couple of 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.480 seasons and throughout his career that you know it's gonna 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.440 affect the offense, their ability to get up and down 0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:37.560 the field, and their ability to score points and put 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.360 them in position for other people to score fantasy points 0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:43.440 in the red zone, etcetera, etcetera. I think for James 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:46.400 Washington Advance McDonald. This is actually interesting because we saw 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.160 Vanton McDonald have a huge game once Mason Rudolph came 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:51.720 in called all seven of his targets. We saw you know, 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:53.640 the red zone touchdown where you know it was a 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:56.960 little screen pass. Nice, nicely done play by Mason Rudolph 0:14:56.960 --> 0:14:59.920 as well and James Washington I mentioned this. He played 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.520 the second most snaps among wide receivers in this game. 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:04.920 And he has a rapport with Mason Rup. They went 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:09.040 to Oklahoma State together where James Washington had almost receiving 0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.800 yards and thirty nine receiving touchdowns. They played all four 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.760 years together. They have a report. We'll talk about this 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.120 more tomorrow. But I think James Washington is actually one 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:20.280 of the sneakier ads this week. Craig James, James Washington, 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:22.440 and I think it's an absolutely sneaky ad because of 0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:25.560 the connection that these guys had in college. And that's 0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:28.760 real and when you especially backup quarterback also relates to 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.600 the backup players that he practices with. James Washington of 0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:33.920 this week, the clear number three wide receiver practice with 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.640 Mason Rudolph throughout the week. There is a connection here 0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:39.600 that is true. I think James Washington as a starter 0:15:39.720 --> 0:15:43.000 with Mason Rudolph as the quarterback obvious add for men. Yeah, 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:46.080 I think it's very clearly for James Washington, Yes, winner, 0:15:46.160 --> 0:15:49.280 James Washington and potentially Vance McDonald as well. As I 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:52.000 mentioned losers here, I think for now, I think the 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.520 jury might still be out, but at least for now, 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:58.600 well we know losers juju Smith, Houster and James Conner. 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:03.160 And that's McDonald too. I think quarterback Yeah called both 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.840 of his touchdowns yesterday. You're absolutely You're absolutely right, You're 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:10.440 absolutely right. Clear losers are the superstars. Dames Conner also 0:16:10.480 --> 0:16:14.440 heard himself yesterday Team Bffjujuice the Schuster and my whole league, 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.440 Damn James Connor. And that's about as sarcastic of a 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:19.880 slap as we can get. I think when I went 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:23.320 owen for yesterday, I am having a terrible season. Well 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.080 that's that's why the waiver wire exists. Greg, We're gonna 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:28.000 We're gonna have a big show tomorrow. We need a 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.440 lot of help. We need desperate mounts a help. But unfortunately, 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.320 Big Ben wasn't the only veteran quarterback to go down yesterday, 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:38.400 as Drew Brees also went down with looks like not 0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.480 only does he have a broken thumb, but it was 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:44.120 like to war tendons in that thumb, which you got 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:46.680 a first opinion but probably didn't sound so good. Sean 0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:48.920 Paynton said today after who signed a new five year extension. 0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.640 By the way Schaan Paynon, that he's going to get 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:57.080 a second opinion on that thumb. We'll see Teddy Bridgewater 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:59.040 the starting quarterback in New Orleans. I'm sure we'll see 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.320 plenty of Tasom Hills. He added, super flex leagues, what 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.679 do you think about the New Orleans Saints winners losers? 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:09.240 And I think it's very very similar situation. For the 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.160 New Orleans Saints as it is for the Steelers. I'm 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:13.720 downgrading the superstars here. Michael Thomas. You know, he's still 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.200 gonna be a low end wide receiver. One we saw yesterday, 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:18.760 even with Bridgewater in for most of that game, Michael 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.440 Thomas was able to convert thirteen targets uh ten receptions 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.200 eighty nine yards, So he's still going to get the 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:26.520 volume here. I think it's all the other pieces that 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.760 we were kind of interested in, you know, Ted Gain 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:31.560 as like a bye week replacement, you know, when they're 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:34.480 playing at home in New Orleans. That's out the window now. 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:37.480 Trey Kwon Smith, I don't have any interest when it 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:41.359 comes to Jared Cook. Maybe Bridgewater leans on him over 0:17:41.400 --> 0:17:43.600 the middle of the field, but Jared Cook was targeted 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:45.639 seven times Sinterday only called two of those for twenty 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.840 five yards. What it comes down to is, and I've 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:49.679 watched a lot of Teddy Bridgewater. He was the backup 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:52.000 for the Jets, he played in their preseason last year, 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.840 and we watched a lot of him with the Minnesota Vikings. Personally, 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.639 I feel that Teddy Bridgewater has been really overvalued in 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.960 his career in the NFL. You know, he's thrown twenty 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.800 nine touchdowns, twenty three interceptions, seven point one yards per attempt. 0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:07.639 I think he's a fine backup, but that's what he is. 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:11.159 You know, he's probably closer to Jacoby Bursette than an 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.679 actual starting quarterback in the NFL. And I think because 0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:17.320 he had pedigree coming out of college, because he was 0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:19.800 a first round pick, we kind of wanted Teddy Bridgewater 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.920 be something. But and it's a great story for him. 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:25.080 I'm really happy he's back in the NFL. I don't 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:27.600 think that he is that great as a starting quarterback 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:29.520 in the NFL. And you know, he brought up Tayson Hill. 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.399 There might actually be more plays where he's used now 0:18:32.720 --> 0:18:37.639 moving forward. So I think a lobbyists downgrade for everybody here. Uh, 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:39.920 you know, Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara are not you know, 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:42.200 maybe the top five with the position that they once were. 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.879 They're still gonna be low on RB one, low and 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:48.439 wide receiver one. But I think all these other ancillary 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:50.879 pieces here, Greg, you know, you can't really count on that. Man. 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:53.959 I think Alvin Camara is fine. I'm not downgrading him 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:56.119 all that much. Even with Tas Murray, I have to 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:57.760 downgrade him now to you do have to dewgrede him. 0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.160 I don't really want to downgrade Alvin Camara, and that's 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.280 because one of the reasons you yourself was kind of 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.400 down on Drew Brees this year was because they don't 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.320 throw the ball enough. They rely on the run game. 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:12.520 They've reinvented themselves from Drew Brees prime to now that's 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:14.720 still going to be the case. They're not going to 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.840 ideally want or need Teddy Bridgewater to go out and 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.480 win games for them yesterday, but of an outlier in 0:19:20.760 --> 0:19:22.840 l A, you're facing the Rams, arguably the class of 0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.080 the NFC or one of the top teams in the NFC, 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:27.200 and you need a Teddy Bridgewater throw the ball down 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.000 the field. I think with Sean Payton, who we trust, 0:19:30.040 --> 0:19:32.359 and Aaron Cromer, who we trust on an offensive basis, 0:19:32.680 --> 0:19:34.320 it's gonna be a whole lot of running the football. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:36.920 With Alvin Camara and with Letavius Murray, I think that 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.320 there's not going to be a clear down a clear, 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:43.800 clear downgrade for Camara. I'll disagree just because I think 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:45.960 the efficiency is going to take a step down, Like 0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:48.919 defenses are not going to respect Teddy Bridgewater the way 0:19:48.960 --> 0:19:51.119 that they respect Drew Brees. So, you know, part of 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.240 what is made Alvin Kamara so great is he's been 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:57.360 able to be so efficient with the touches that he gets. 0:19:57.400 --> 0:19:59.040 You know, he doesn't get as many touches as Christian 0:19:59.080 --> 0:20:02.040 McCaffrey and take Kwon Barkley, but he puts up similar 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:04.359 type numbers because of the efficiency that he has. So 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:06.520 I think, you know, when you insert Teddy Bridgewater or 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:08.959 even a Taysom Hill, defenses are not going to respect 0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:11.560 those quarterbacks the same way that that they will aid 0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.480 Drew Brees. So you know, we might see a little 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.080 bit more volume, but ultimately I think the efficiency comes 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.159 down for both Alvin Kamara and Latavius Murray. Right, So 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.159 the efficiency going down. I think Michael Thomas, uh as 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.040 you said yesterday, with the Bridgewater, He's gonna be fine. 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.560 It's everybody else, like you mentioned, he again, Jake Smith, 0:20:27.720 --> 0:20:31.440 probably Jerry Cook, dropping Jared Cook. We talk about it 0:20:31.480 --> 0:20:36.359 more tomorrow. For Cook. For Will it seems like a 0:20:36.400 --> 0:20:39.720 lateral well, I mean, look at least Will Disley is 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:42.560 being targeted in the red zone. Absolutely I can change. 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:46.239 I probably don't like said the tight ends out there. 0:20:46.240 --> 0:20:49.000 We'll talk about it tomorrow. Tyler Eifford scored a touchdown. 0:20:49.440 --> 0:20:52.879 Tyler hippies hurt and Gerald Everett. I'd actually we have 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:56.760 two tight ends now you know. Jason Witt, no reliable dude. 0:20:56.840 --> 0:21:01.000 It's and we're actually gonna be talking about Mason Witten tomorrow. 0:21:01.760 --> 0:21:08.119 Frank Gore and Carlos Hyde Greg It's what's dead may 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.560 never die. What's dead may never die. Indeed, other winners 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:14.440 and losers come in your way. I want to get 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:15.919 to New England. We talked about Miami a little bit. 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:17.399
