1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Ladies, you want experience during your football season, well, buckle.

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: Up, sweet cheeks.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: What we've got all the experience in the world. This

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: is I want your Flex with Dan Byer and Mike Harmon.

5
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Mike and Dan break down everything you need to set

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: your line ups, from position rankings.

7
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 3: To starts and sits.

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: The guys help you make those hard decisions. And now

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: let's get your flex on. Here's Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: Week three is already underway. Jets fans have a smile

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: on their face. It is I want your flex. He's

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: Mike Carmen hit him up at Swollen Dome. No smile.

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: There no smile on my face. But there is a

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: smile on the face of our executive producer, Ian Roddy,

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 2: who is the resident Jets fan on this podcast. Mike,

16
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: do you have any glowing words for Ian? After the

17
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 2: Jets took care of the Patriots on Third Night Football?

18
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean part of it comes back to this is,

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: I think what people expected from the Patriots to a degree,

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 3: at least on the offensive side coming into the year,

21
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 3: I didn't think they'd be man handled quite so easily

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: by the Jets offense. Aaron Rodgers nearly got that elusive

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: three hundred yard game. You know, he hasn't had one

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 3: of those since he eviscerated the Bears in twenty twenty one,

25
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: but two eighty one and two, and they did whatever

26
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: they wanted to. Most impressively for Rogers, the lateral movement

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 3: that is back which makes it makes it a nightmare

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 3: for the back seven to cover it. So as long

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 3: as the skill guys Wilson, Conklin, Lazard and even Mike

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 3: Williams sheh a degree, stay healthy, there's gonna be some

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: points on the board down the line. For the Patriots

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: side of things, I thought it was irresponsible to put

33
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: Drake May in the game late the way Jacobi presaid

34
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: had run for his life the entire night. Twelve of

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: eighteen ninety eight yards Dan Ramandre Stevenson six carries, that's it.

36
00:01:55,400 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: Six cherries twenty three yards, zero catches, zero targets all

37
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: the way down. Just a miserable offensive performance for the Patriots.

38
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 3: Great opportunity for Jets fans. You know, Braylan Allen at

39
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 3: his fifty five yards on the ground, so that's a

40
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 3: nice boost. Three catches thirteen yards PPR League, you got

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 3: paid Breese Hall found the end zone after review, so

42
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: that gave you some love again, a little work out

43
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: of the backfield as a receiver. But I think where

44
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 3: it is is if you bought low on the Jets

45
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 3: or you held firm right, steady, steady, you feel like

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 3: there might be better days coming as this offense starts

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: to click.

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: All right, Ian as a Jets fan, there's not a

49
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: lot that you can pick apart from that performance. It's

50
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: got to feel pretty good to be two and one

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: at this.

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 4: Point, feel super good to be two and one. I mean,

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: it was just great, like you said, to see Aaron

54
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 4: Rodgers moving around laterally, you know, because in the first

55
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: first game and a half he really was just like

56
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 4: a statue in there, and it was like, okay, how

57
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 4: much is he really trusting his new Achilles tendon And

58
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 4: you know, well he seemed to trust tonight. And then

59
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 4: also the defense too came out big. I mean, only

60
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 4: allowing three points. Obviously it is the Patriots, but look,

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 4: they pushed Joe Burrow and the Bengals to the limit.

62
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: They pushed the Seahawks at the limit last week, brought

63
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 4: them to overtime. I think they look good and Will

64
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 4: McDonald defense two sacks, two more sacks because he had

65
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 4: three last game. I'm I'm feeling good about the Jets

66
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 4: right now.

67
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: Hasan Raddick losing money? I know by the moment right

68
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: it's like who needs it? I did see a stat

69
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: that was kind of interesting, you know, when we add

70
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: into our game picks and whatever else. Over the last

71
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 3: twenty years, team to play an overtime game and then

72
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: had to play four days of rest or less versus

73
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: a team who didn't play overtime the week before. They

74
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 3: were six and nineteen straight up and three and twenty

75
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: two against the number. And that's where the Patriots were.

76
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, Thursday night. Yeah, I thought that the travel of

77
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: the Jets was going to catch up to them three

78
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: games in eleven days and it did anything. But it's

79
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: almost like they found their footing in that game against Tennessee.

80
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: After a slow start of the game, they got rolling.

81
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: Braylan Allen sure seems like a thing now with the Jets,

82
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: So you don't have to put it all on Breis

83
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: Hall's shoulders. So a good good night all around for

84
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: the New York Jets.

85
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: And a reminder that Mike did did have Braylan Allen

86
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 4: as one of his ads, his waiver wire ads last week.

87
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: He knows what he's doing, folks. That's why you got

88
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 2: to listen to him, and you're going to listen to

89
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 2: him right now. As we transition to Mike Harmon's rankings

90
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: for Week three, We'll get to the running backs in

91
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 2: a bit, but we always start out with the signal callers.

92
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 2: Mike Harmon laying on us your top five quarterbacks for

93
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 2: Week three of the NFL season.

94
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: Let's jump on board right away. Josh Allen said it

95
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 3: forget it going up against Jacksonville team still walking in

96
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: the along the beach, trying to figure out their identity.

97
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: Thirteenth most Fantasy points per game allowed to quarterbacks. But Alan,

98
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: as we know a different animals starting to get more

99
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 3: comfortable with those secondary receivers. How about Kyler Murray going

100
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: up against Detroit. This is one that you know from

101
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: all you've seen these first couple of weeks. This is

102
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: the get the popcorn game total creeping towards fifty two.

103
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 3: As we sit here and Marvin Harrison Junior, remember everybody

104
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: was trying to make a big thing. They're fighting after game.

105
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: What now they're not fighting after game one, everybody's happy,

106
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,679
Speaker 3: everybody plays, everybody win, and so long as he's running

107
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 3: around like I'm playing a video game, I feel pretty

108
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 3: good about myself, although I do feel bad for Dan Campbell,

109
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: who's in the middle of moving after dopey fans got

110
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 3: after his owner.

111
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: Are they just gonna find his next house?

112
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 3: Yes, at some point you just have to build a

113
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 3: moat and be done with it. I think I do

114
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: not get it. I don't understand.

115
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: And for those that missed it, Dan Campbell said that

116
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: someone ruly fans made him and his wife feel uncomfortable.

117
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 2: That's not a joke there, But they decided to move

118
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: because of that, and I just figure, like, well, they'll

119
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: just go to the next place then, I guess.

120
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 3: Can only hide so long, all right? So those are

121
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 3: the top two. How about Joe Burrow, Hey, weeks one

122
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: and two are behind us. Yes, everybody's seen the record

123
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: for he and his coach, Zach Taylor in weeks one

124
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: to two. Guess what, it's Week three and you've got

125
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: a very nice, generous matchup this week at home against

126
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: the Washington Commanders, the worst team against opposing quarterbacks through

127
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 3: the first two weeks of the season giving up twenty

128
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 3: four points per game. And it's not sexy, but Patrick

129
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 3: Mahomes hitting downfield opportunities against Atlanta seventh most generous to

130
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: quarterbacks through two weeks. We get that in the big

131
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: Sunday Night affair over unders sitting at about forty seven.

132
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: Expect the timing once again to get better curiosity in

133
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 3: the backfield there for case as we watch and finally

134
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna light it up, I debated, really

135
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: pushing him up a little bit more. Lamar Jackson, you know,

136
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 3: the two Ravens start, despite some of the offensive efficiencies

137
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 3: that then able to form going up against the Dallas defense.

138
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: Think he has his way. So he comes in at

139
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: number five this week.

140
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: Such an intriguing spot with this late window of games

141
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 2: this week because Ravens Cowboys, you know, with Lamar Jackson

142
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: going up against Dak Prescott. But then you have the

143
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 2: NFC West rivalry of the forty nine Ers Rams and

144
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 2: then that Lions Cardinals game that you mentioned with Kyler

145
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: Murray that's also a one twenty five or four to

146
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 2: twenty five Eastern time kick one twenty five for us

147
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: here on the West coast. Interesting late window with a

148
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: lot of good games, which I will not complain about.

149
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: It would be really good for Red Zone Radio. Yes

150
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: for you, I'm Jerry Rhods getting after Come on now,

151
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 3: it should be a should be a dandy. We have

152
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: no idea who's going to play for the forty nine

153
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: ers in RAMS considering their injury situations, but Lions and

154
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: Cardinals should be interesting, and Ravens and Cowboys and hey,

155
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 3: twenty minutes prior to that, it's the Panthers and Raiders

156
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: kicking off on CBS. But I'm sure there'll be some

157
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 3: Panthers talk later onto the podcast, just maybe not in the.

158
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: Top five rankings. Let's get to the top five running

159
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 2: backs for Week three of the National Football League season.

160
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: Mike take it away, as we have the opportunity to

161
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 3: watch this Kubiak offense go to work. Alvin Mara. Look,

162
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 3: he's healthy and he's back as a runner receiver as

163
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: envisioned all these years. You've got Derek Carr getting fined

164
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 3: for doing a Michael Jackson celebration, letting a little bit

165
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: of his freak flag fly. I mean all of that

166
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: happening opportunity here against Philadelphia. When we look at the

167
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 3: Eagles over the first couple of weeks of the season.

168
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: They can be gotten in the back seven as you

169
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: make them work and spread the field, So I expect

170
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 3: more of that this week. James Cook going up against

171
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 3: Jacksonville again as a runner receiver. The opportunities that we've

172
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: seen and the share that he's taken on in that

173
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 3: backfield as the rest of the receiving corps gets on

174
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 3: the same page with Josh Allen remains a beast. Yeah,

175
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 3: you get to see some of Davis in the backfield,

176
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: but Cook still far and away the leader and one

177
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: of those guys that's breaking through to become a household name,

178
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: or at least I'm going to try to make that happen.

179
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: B Jehn Robinson going up against Kansas City.

180
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: I would say, Mike, if he is a household name,

181
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: be in the kitchen.

182
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: Nicely done. That's my guy. That's what I needed right there.

183
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 3: Let's go. B Jon Robinson going up against Kansas City.

184
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: We're getting the touch count that we want, maybe a

185
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 3: little bit more, maybe some Tyler All. Jerry's gonna come

186
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: in and he's gonna gut you from time to time,

187
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: but maybe a boost of confidence. The way that game

188
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: ended with Captain Kirk the seventy yard drive and everything

189
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 3: against Philly. Not that Bjhon Robinson had a lot to

190
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: do with that, but the opportunities he ran really well

191
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 3: early in that game. So in boldened by that this

192
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: is a game that I really can't wait to watch

193
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 3: on Sunday night. Derek Henry getting his going up against

194
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 3: Dallas right now. The only guy he's got to avoid

195
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 3: is Micah Parsons because the rest of the ten are

196
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 3: standing around and well, Michaeh Parsons probably didn't do himself

197
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: any favors with the well, you know, guys are doing

198
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: their jobs. We'll see what if they can do it

199
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: against Baltimore. Baltimore having some issues offensive line and that continuity,

200
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 3: but Henry still as you sledgehammer. And then we finished

201
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: with Saquon Barkley going up the other side against New Orleans,

202
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: the idea of him being a receiver out of the

203
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: backfield for four to six catches to bolster his weekly

204
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 3: output and put him in the top five.

205
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 2: I'd have to think that some bit of revenge or

206
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 2: payback from what transpired on Monday night will be in

207
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 2: play for the Eagles as they go to New Orleans

208
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: and one of the big games that We've got a

209
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: bunch of huge games in the NFL in Week three.

210
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: What about the wide receiver position. A lot of guys

211
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 2: out there, Mike, But who are the cream of the

212
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: crop catching passes this week?

213
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,319
Speaker 3: Well, if you talk to people in Baltimore, the one

214
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 3: thing their biggest lamentation even before the season began, is

215
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: that they don't have that shut down corner. What does

216
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 3: that mean? Ceedee Lamb's running them up in the secondary.

217
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: So opportunity for him for another big day here as

218
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: we roll it forward. Doesn't mean that everybody gets fed

219
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 3: and doesn't mean that the quarterback himself will eat. But

220
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 3: we'll get to that in a bit. I'm ros Saint

221
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 3: Brown going up against Arizona again expecting some points in

222
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: that one, am I. So I'm going to look for

223
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: him to really pick up the reception count here. That's

224
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: what I'm banking on. The PPR love Rashi Rice going

225
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: up against Atlanta. Fifteen targets through the first two weeks

226
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: and good production despite not really having that viable consistent

227
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 3: Number two Travis Kelcey even admitting he's frustrated by how

228
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: slowly things have started for him. Number four, Devontae Adams. Yeah,

229
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 3: we got the Panthers in, but not a member of

230
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: the Panthers. DeVonta Adams going up against the Panthers here.

231
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 3: And then Marvin Harrison Junior going back to that Arizona

232
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: Detroit game expecting fireworks, and for Harrison Junior, I think

233
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 3: week two is just a sign of big things to come.

234
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: When you peel that onion back of the Kansas City Chiefs,

235
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: You're right, she Rice right now is the most reliable

236
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: thing that the Chiefs have. That's not a knock on

237
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 2: everyone else. It just means the Checko's hurt. Elsie's not

238
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: doing what he wants to do. Hollywood Brown hasn't seen

239
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 2: the field. Xavier Worthy is still a rookie, so Rice

240
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: ends up being the guy that rises to the occasion.

241
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, watching that offense thus far, I mean, and we

242
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: made it the analogy a little bit last week, you

243
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: and I and talked about it more with Jason Smith

244
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 3: and our slot at Fox Sports Radio. Just the idea

245
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: that the Chiefs at this point are kind of in

246
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 3: that feeling out just like they did last year. Dan

247
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: a lot of reliance on the defense. I know, Chris

248
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 3: Jones was kind of mad that they took half a

249
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 3: sack away from him and gave it all to carloftis

250
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,599
Speaker 3: so a little bit of ankst there for him. I

251
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: don't know if he's got some bonuses off to go

252
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: look at his contract. But the idea that the defense

253
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 3: and Butker are going to have to carry them in

254
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,239
Speaker 3: some games, right, that they'll have to do just enough offensively,

255
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: And look, Mahomes is uncorked and been able to hit

256
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 3: on a couple of big pass plays, and statistically, you know,

257
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 3: that's the earliest he's done that in a bit. But

258
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: we watched it last year with even with Travis Kelsey

259
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: finished just shy of a thousand yards. But it wasn't

260
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 3: world beating in the first half of the season. Neither

261
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: was Pacheco. A lot of that was second half finding

262
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 3: their stride and feeling it out, just like the old

263
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 3: Patriots used to do. And then you just hope you're

264
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 3: healthy enough to where you can actually hit that second stretch.

265
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 3: And for the Chiefs, integrating all these new faces, no

266
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 3: matter what you've got calling plays, and how much we

267
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: love Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, it's going to be

268
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 3: a work in progress.

269
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: It is unique when you talk about the Kansas City

270
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 2: Chiefs and how just how they win football games. And

271
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: that's what I think sets them apart. Their greatness is

272
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 2: that they know how to close out games or win

273
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: those close games. And I'm saying this less than a

274
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: week after. I think that PI call was PS on

275
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: the fourth and sixteen. I didn't like that call on

276
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: that play, but they put themselves in this situation. Not

277
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: that you want to be in fourth and sixteen, but

278
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: they've showed time and time again that when they have

279
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: a lead, they can work the clock. When they don't

280
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 2: have a lead, they can move the ball down the field,

281
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: and not every team can do that in an NFL

282
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 2: that we've seen the first two weeks of this season, Mike,

283
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: and we've seen season after season after season. Just knowing

284
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: how to win those close football games is almost seventy

285
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: five percent of the battle. I don't think the Chiefs

286
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: are significantly better than the other top teams in the

287
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 2: National Football League. I just think that they're significantly better.

288
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 2: When you have to win a football game in those

289
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: final ten minutes of regulation. I think that's where the

290
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs end up thriving and that's why they're so good,

291
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: and that's why they're to.

292
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 3: And zer right now again owing to the last dynasty.

293
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 3: You know, you don't beat yourself. And it was part

294
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 3: of what I alluded to a little bit here with

295
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 3: the Aaron Rodgers, you know, coming out of Thursday Night Football.

296
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 3: But how many quarterbacks do you say you really trust?

297
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 3: Like if you went to fans in all thirty two

298
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 3: NFL cities and said, do you really trust your quarterback?

299
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: Do you really think he's getting you to where you

300
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 3: need to be? How many guys? How deep does that

301
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 3: list get? I heard a promo talking about you know,

302
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts and like, oh, he's still one of those

303
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: Well yeah, but he's about where the line of demarcation

304
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 3: is and that list is what he guys.

305
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think I think for as much as Buffalo

306
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: loves Josh Allen, I think they have a difficult time

307
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: saying like, well, we don't know he's gonna throw an interception, you.

308
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: Know what I mean? Though, Like it's a very few,

309
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 3: It's it's an elite thing. So like having Aaron Rodgers

310
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 3: back to being Aaron Rodgers. Okay, there's one Patrick Mahomes, two.

311
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 2: Burrow I trust.

312
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: If he's upright and ready to go, sure, I'll throw

313
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: I'll throw him in. But yeah, but beyond that, I mean,

314
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: I guess maybe Stafford. But remember one of the big

315
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: plays was an interception that got dropped. He still got dropped,

316
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: so it doesn't count. But it's still just the idea

317
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: he does put the ball up for grabs now and again,

318
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 3: I mean, go to Purdy and Lamar Jackson. We've seen

319
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 3: it in the playoffs. Trevor Lawrence.

320
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: Know, I think Stroud's on his way, but maybe just

321
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: the resume isn't there right now because he's you know,

322
00:15:59,000 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 2: year two.

323
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 3: Well, but even last week, right, he had one drive sure, right,

324
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: I mean it was it's a good Chicago defense, but

325
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: you know it wasn't like they marched the ball all

326
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: over the place. But yeah, I mean he had a

327
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 3: huge year one and the end.

328
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 2: If you had to drive, if you had a drive

329
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 2: with five, I think you'd be like, Okay, I got

330
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 2: c J.

331
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 3: Strou I'd take him over the other twenty twenty plus

332
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 3: guys that we're talking about. Yeah, but it's more just that,

333
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: you know, the I don't have a hesitancy at all.

334
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, You've shown it time and again. You

335
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: could do this, And that's the beauty of watching a

336
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 3: guy like Rogers. And that kills me, you know, being

337
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 3: next to Jets fan Smith for four hours doing a

338
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: show and talking about it. But it's an appreciation for

339
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 3: how rare it is at that position that you are

340
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 3: that steady, that you can bring the ship home even

341
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: if things aren't all right. Man, I may never know

342
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 3: that as a Bears fan.

343
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: I Ian did you hear that Harmon still took that

344
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: straw for those comments to Caleb Williams after the game,

345
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: you know, the the postgame. What did you think of that? Mike?

346
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 3: What would I say? All in he was a little

347
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 3: broing him? No, but I mean it was it was

348
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: clear Caleb wanted no part of it. You had to

349
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 3: pull him back.

350
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 4: Did you guys see what Nick Wright was saying about

351
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 4: that stuff?

352
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 2: I did not.

353
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 4: I think he was saying something about how about how

354
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 4: when Caleb won the Heisman him and Stroud were both finalists.

355
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 4: So it's like, if you put yourself in caleb shoes,

356
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 4: it's a guy who was your peer that recently is

357
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 4: like trying to sit here and give you advice and stuff. Yeah,

358
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 4: I'm I'm I side with Stroud, but I'm just it's

359
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 4: an interesting take.

360
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: I'll give you my alternative angle. Okay, I don't have

361
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: a problem with CJ. Stroud trying to give Caleb Williams

362
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 2: the heads up. I think Caleb didn't want to hear

363
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 2: it because he's like, dude, it's my freaking line, you know,

364
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 2: like like I'm I'm you're lucky, I'm here to shake

365
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,239
Speaker 2: your hand after the game like that. That's how I

366
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: felt Caleb felt about it, that Okay, I'm gonna be

367
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 2: okay as long as I stay upright like that's that's

368
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 2: my alternative angle to it. Whereas yeah, I dig it.

369
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: You know, it's not necessarily about me. But what can

370
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams say, Like, you have my freaking line stunk tonight.

371
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 2: You know you can't say that.

372
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 4: But and the first thing Stroud said to him was

373
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 4: stop taking those hits, man, So it's like to him,

374
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 4: it's like.

375
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 3: Dude, yeah, it's kind of tough not to when they're

376
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 3: in my face right again, you know, he's miked up,

377
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: and Caleb, unfortunately wasn't going to get the benefit of

378
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 3: the doubt because there's so many people that already have

379
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 3: issues with his countenance, with some of the stuff at

380
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: USC no matter, like it should take a decade for

381
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 3: any of that to wash off, like is in Chicago,

382
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: like you know, the poison pen is out, like if

383
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 3: you can really pin stuff on him, because they were

384
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 3: writing all the you know, glip, this is the guy.

385
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: We're getting the finger and nail point, you know, painting

386
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 3: that going into the crowd with his mom, this, that

387
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: the other, like all of that was was written as

388
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 3: and they're waiting to bring it back out like it's

389
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 3: all there, and you see bits of it in you know,

390
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,440
Speaker 3: the social media stuff with the Bears and then certainly

391
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 3: in the criticism when he makes a mistake, doesn't see

392
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 3: a read I mean, hell you got roma Doonsay's dad

393
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: posting highlights? Right? Hey you missed him here? How do

394
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 3: you like that going after Orlowsky? So so like this

395
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 3: video that gets out Like I shrugged when I first

396
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 3: saw it, and then all of a sudden it became

397
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 3: the biggest thing in the world, and I was like

398
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 3: he was just clearly a guy that was like you

399
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: know what we lost? You got the w Like I

400
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 3: don't need it, Like I just don't need it right now.

401
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 2: Thank you, oh man, What a time, what a time

402
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 2: to be alive. All right it is I want your

403
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 2: flex Roma Dunzay's dad is now like would be the

404
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 2: TikTok videos of yelling at the fourteen year old ump player.

405
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 2: What are we doing here? All right? Moving on, those

406
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: are your top five rankings for Week three of the

407
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: NFL season. Running back, wide receiver, and the quarterback position.

408
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we are going to focus more on those,

409
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 2: plus sprinkle in some tight end action as well with

410
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: Mike's hot plays, Cold Soores and Ninja's hit him up

411
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: at Swollen Don't find me at Dan Byer on Fox,

412
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 2: and find Ian Roddy, our executive producer at Ian Roddy underscore.

413
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: That's next here on I want your flex all right,

414
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 2: the fire is hot. It's time for our hot plays

415
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 2: for week three. Find Mic ats Swollen Dome, hit me

416
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 2: up at Dan Beyer on Fox. Mike, let's get to

417
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 2: the guys who didn't make your top five rankings but

418
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 2: should make your starting lineup this week.

419
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 3: How about we go back to Captain Kirk finishing off

420
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: that big game against the Eagles, Big spot at home

421
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 3: against Kansas City, third most generous to quarterbacks, and we'll

422
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 3: take his tight end with them. Kyle Pitts, Yeah, a

423
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 3: lot of the damage was done by Isaiah Likely in

424
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 3: week one. But a guy with a decent share count

425
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 3: and an opportunity to make some hay here at the

426
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,919
Speaker 3: quarterback position alongside Captain Kirk Let's grab Jared Goff. We

427
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: talked about the Detroit Arizona game a bunch. Derek Carr

428
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 3: will ride the hot hand right. No natural pass rush

429
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 3: coming from Philadelphia. Gotta think after being eviscerated for a week,

430
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 3: maybe they'll be a little different kind of look at

431
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: getting after it. But Carr working Kubiak system beautifully, so

432
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: we get him in. How about your guys, Charbonay going

433
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 3: against Miami, because I'm banking on your team's defense, your

434
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,880
Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks to terrorize young Skyler Thompson, giving you advantageous

435
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 3: fuel position and maybe a chance to make some Hey

436
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: Moss going up against the Washington Commanders. We'll get a

437
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 3: little bit of love and then we'll go back to

438
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 3: the fun and exciting world of Seattle with Smith and Jigma.

439
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 3: You called it before the season, Dan that that share

440
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: count would rise. Didn't quite thank you. Be at what

441
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: fifteen last week and the huge game that he had.

442
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: But again looking for the opportunity of this offense to

443
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 3: make some hay and a little deeper because you still

444
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 3: have to count on the big play to get him over.

445
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 3: But it's awful hard to keep Shaheed out of your

446
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 3: lineup as a WR three.

447
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree with that because anytime Derek Carr

448
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 2: throws one up and I think they're gonna at least

449
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 2: you have to at least give him a shot or

450
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: to a game because it just helps everybody else that

451
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: when he hits, you're gonna want to cash in on that.

452
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, is figure a lave gets slay most of the time. Sure, right,

453
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 3: but it may not matter, right, I mean within the

454
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: amount of motion they've got going in the crossing routes

455
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: and everything else, it may not matter.

456
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be. Yeah, it could be a fun

457
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 2: one on Sunday between the Eagles insints.

458
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: So forty nine and a half, Dan.

459
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: Why not? Why not get him in when you can?

460
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 2: And also I'll also say this about Jared Goff. The

461
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 2: Lions within their uniforms didn't didn't make a huge adjustment

462
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 2: to the helmets, change the face mask, change the center

463
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 2: stripe a little bit. But they were close to going

464
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl last year, and I'm almost glad

465
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: now that they didn't because these uniforms need to be

466
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: in the super Bowl. I love like they They do

467
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 2: remind me of the nineties Barry Sanders. Look. I know

468
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: it's not exact to it, but now when I see them,

469
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I dig these. So I'm curious to

470
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: see what the road ones look like in Arizona coming

471
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: up on Sunday.

472
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 3: All about uniforms in combination. We actually spent a couple

473
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: of minutes on air talking about the green of the

474
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: Jets helmets on Thursday night?

475
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: Do you like you a fan of those?

476
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: See? I liked it. I like the lighter one, but

477
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 3: it's too much like the old Randall Cunningham eels.

478
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

479
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: So these these were kind of crisp like, kind of

480
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 3: kind of shiny spark Yeah, like a limited edition mini

481
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 3: home it would be.

482
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, it's just unique when it matches against the

483
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 2: the matte color of the jersey where it's if it

484
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 2: was the old And I'm just gonna just say, instead

485
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,479
Speaker 2: of Ken O'Brien, Richard Todd looking Jets helmet of that

486
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 2: like dullish Evergreen. I think it works with their jerseys more.

487
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 2: But the helmet alone as it stands, I think looks

488
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 2: really good. I thought the field looked great with that

489
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 2: big Jets in the end.

490
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 3: It was a good look tonight. Yes, yes, ready for

491
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 3: prime time. And that new three D modeling they did

492
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 3: at halftime to show you why the Patriots couldn't move

493
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 3: the ball forward was great.

494
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 2: I did not see it. I did not check out halftime.

495
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

496
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 4: That the wing that Andrew Wentworth was using, Yeah, that

497
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 4: was his whole I got a shiny new toy.

498
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 3: He had a huge monitor in front of him. It

499
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 3: was really odd. I mean, the modeling was kind of cool,

500
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 3: but just the setup. It's like they're still sitting at

501
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 3: the desk and now all of a sudden, he's got

502
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: a giant monitor in front of him.

503
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 2: Man, I am not sorry. I missed that. All right.

504
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 2: It was all right, all right, I'll take your word

505
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: for it.

506
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: Was a good bit. The aesthetics of it. I think

507
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 3: they need to work that. I was a little cluky.

508
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 2: All right. Let's get to the cold sore for Week three.

509
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: The guys that you may usually have in your lineup,

510
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,879
Speaker 2: but you may be a little cautious and may not

511
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 2: want him at all on the field comes Sunday or

512
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 2: Monday with that doubleheader. Mike whe your cold plays.

513
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 3: This week, that is true, the Monday doubleheader. Good times.

514
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 3: Richardson going up against the Bears missing some easy throws.

515
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 3: I think they get after him in pressure and potential

516
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 3: for chaos. Now you might be saved by some rushing

517
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 3: yardage and one or two big heaves, but all in all,

518
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 3: it is not a pleasant experience to have to sit

519
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 3: there for sixty minutes wishing and hoping that you get

520
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 3: the promised Land mentioned Cede Lamb as a top option, Well,

521
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,239
Speaker 3: I don't think his quarterback is though necessarily going up

522
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 3: against Baltimore. So Dak's a guy on Middley. I've got

523
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 3: him as a back end one, high end two alongside

524
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford. Why because he's got nobody laughed. They're all

525
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,719
Speaker 3: hurt going up against San Francisco. Fortunately most of San

526
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: Francisco is as well. Last Man's standing match like an

527
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: old WWE promotion or one of the territories that I

528
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 3: watched in the late eighties, the last one and this

529
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 3: one we talked about him a little bit before, and

530
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 3: it's not because he maybe little broods Caleb Williams, but

531
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 3: it was c J. Stroud going up against Brian Flores

532
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 3: and just the curiosity of what kind of defensive looks

533
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 3: he's gonna get, not that he's gonna suddenly throw four interceptions.

534
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 3: Dico Collins is banged up a little bit. Joe Mixon

535
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 3: may not play go on as we record this late

536
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 3: on Thursday night, West Coast time. So for CJ. Stroud,

537
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 3: it's it's I'm not out on him altogether, but it's

538
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: one of those proceed with caution. Jeffy Roster for that

539
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: second guy earlier talked about the Bears running back position,

540
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 3: expecting more from Johnson and Herbert to try to help

541
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: that offensive line, give Caleb Williams a little bit of help.

542
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 3: DeAndre Swift is gonna pop. I don't think it's this week. Also,

543
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 3: Jerome Ford going up against the Giants run defense solid,

544
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: Mike Evans, I think he draws Patrick sertan question mark

545
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,400
Speaker 3: mostly going up against Denver, so curiosity there and then

546
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 3: going back to San Francisco in the Rams, Brandon Ayuka

547
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,880
Speaker 3: guy that I need to see it before I really

548
00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: want to set him in my lineup just yet, especially

549
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: if I'm only in the two receiver league.

550
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 2: Sure well, as you said the nine as we only

551
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: have two receivers.

552
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 3: So the other guy shows up in the ninja list, Dan,

553
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 3: let's go Jennings.

554
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: By the way, we'll get to the ninjas. I think

555
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 2: I call these the cold plays. So I mixed our

556
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: hot plays and cold sores with a very popular.

557
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 3: Band that was all yellow.

558
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: Yeah it was hopefully you cash in with the green

559
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: on Mike's Ninja's four Week three? Who are these ninjas,

560
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 2: Mike that you speak of?

561
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 3: Gen No g No going up against Miami. Big opportunity

562
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 3: here again, expecting the defense to give your guys some

563
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 3: easy possessions on the platter to go work with and

564
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 3: deploying all of those weapons, even with you know, Kenneth

565
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 3: Walker the third still pango.

566
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 2: I don't think, yeah, well you have Sharbona is one

567
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 2: of your hot plays. I don't think we're gonna say

568
00:27:58,200 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 2: c kW three this week.

569
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he sits another week, meaning the passing

570
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,399
Speaker 3: game gets another look. How about Gardner Minshew going up

571
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 3: against Carolina gave that big comeback win in week two?

572
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: Look to build on that. How about Bucky Irving against

573
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 3: Denver because Rashaan Whitez banged up a groin injury. This

574
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 3: is one of the more curious matchups, right everybody's starting

575
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 3: to jump on board the Buccaneers bandwagon, and I don't

576
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 3: know what Denver can or will be banged up as well,

577
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,680
Speaker 3: So maybe Javonte Williams can go in here as a

578
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: flex play for you because no Vi de Devea in

579
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 3: the middle to slow him down. Sama GP Ryan going

580
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 3: up against Atlanta going to that workload split, I'll take

581
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 3: the path lesser travels the secondary option there quick wide

582
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: receivers already mentioned Jennings going up against the Rams. Someone's

583
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: got to catch the ball. I mean, George Kittle banged

584
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: up as well. George Pickens going up against the Chargers.

585
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: You've had a couple of near misses brought back because

586
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 3: of penalty. I think it hits this week. That's one

587
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: of the more fast games because you know, the analogy

588
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 3: being used often this year seems to be rock fight

589
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 3: the Chargers and Steelers. This could be could be one

590
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 3: of those games for us DAN as we go, this

591
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 3: is thirteen to ten ish, Yeah, thirty five and a

592
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: half is the overrunner. I don't think it gets anywhere

593
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: close to that Boswell versus Dicker. Let's just have a

594
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 3: kickoff and go home.

595
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: It's It's also the Garcia Bowl. Eddie Garcia, our team

596
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: Nfox Sports Radio, a lifelong Steelers fan, his wife Karen,

597
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: lifelong Chargers fan. They'll be in Pittsburgh for this game.

598
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: They sit in separate seats. I think they're going to

599
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 2: for this game as well. But when the Steelers and

600
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: Chargers have played in Pittsburgh, because they've gone previously, I

601
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 2: know Eddie has said that they sit in separate seats

602
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 2: and then they meet after the game.

603
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 3: How about that. That's kind of an interesting little tidbit.

604
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 2: Sure sure news him to cheer for his team and

605
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: her to cheer for hers, and then all is well

606
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: at home afterwards.

607
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, that's that's a curiosity. Can we do

608
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 3: a documentary? I watch your flex presents, Keep a Home Happy,

609
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 3: Mike and damn one and a half point favorites are

610
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh stews. And finally, Hey, we teased that we'd

611
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 3: get to the Panthers eventually. And yeah, I referenced DeVante,

612
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 3: Adams and Gardner, Minshew and all earlier. How about a

613
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: little Adam feel in action with Andy Dalton.

614
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: I like it.

615
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 3: Let's get a little cheeky here with our w R three.

616
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

617
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: I don't know how the I don't know how the

618
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: Raiders prepare for Carolina. I would I would honestly think, Mike,

619
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: you're looking at maybe some buccaneer film from when Dave

620
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 2: Cadallis was in Tampa. Maybe you go to Seattle because

621
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: whatever Bryce Young was trying to do, you wasn't doing. No,

622
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: so you're probably not gonna see it on Sunday because

623
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 2: you actually have somebody who's capable of running an offense

624
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: running that offense.

625
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 3: Hey, see the screen pass to the to the left.

626
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: Dalton's gonna get the ball there, so we're gonna have

627
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 3: to defend it. No, I don't mean to kill Bryce Young.

628
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: That guy was in a bad situation. I think he's

629
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 3: still seeing the sixty two sacks of a year ago.

630
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's yeah, there's a there's a constant, and the

631
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 2: constant seems to be ownership.

632
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 3: There was a great Matt Rule interview. I heard a

633
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 3: clip from the other day, and they tried to bait

634
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 3: him kind of talking about the Bryce young thing. He goes, Look, man,

635
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 3: when we beat Calorado, I got a lot of calls

636
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: from the guys that were on that Carolina team. You

637
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 3: want to talk about tap dancing? One of the most

638
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: beautiful public relations, almost scripted answers I've ever heard. Like,

639
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 3: here's a man who's happy at life and has shut

640
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 3: that door.

641
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, it's good to move on. And I thought

642
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 2: that when Dave Temper took over that place, I thought

643
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: it was gonna be our r. It's going to be

644
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: a great owner. You know, he had previous stake in

645
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 2: the Steelers, minority stake in the Steelers. Prior to that thought, Hey,

646
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 2: what what better place to learn? Oh, I haven't learned

647
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:05,600
Speaker 2: much there they are. They're hot plays, cold stores, and ninjas.

648
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 2: That actually did include a Carolina panther. For Week three,

649
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 2: all right, he's Mike Carmen. I'm Dan Byer. Hit Mike

650
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 2: up at Swollen Dome. Find me at Dan Byer on Fox.

651
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 2: Ian Roddy, our executive producer, is revving up his streaming defense.

652
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 2: My one week ban for Survivorpool in effect this week.

653
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: You're not getting a survivor, but we may talk about it.

654
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: Plus my oasis Song, Player of the Week, and Points

655
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: of Palooza. That's all coming up next. He's Mike Carmon.

656
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 2: I'm Dan Byer. This is I want your Flex. It

657
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 2: is I want air Flex. He's Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Byer,

658
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 2: and our executive producer, Ian Roddy is here for a

659
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 2: streaming defense of Week three. I know that this was

660
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 2: a tough, tough decision. Ian, you were battling between two

661
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 2: defenses even up in until kickoff of this podcast. Where

662
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 2: did you settle on our streaming defenses for Week three?

663
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 4: I settled on the Green Bay Packers. So they're rostered.

664
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 4: They are rostered in twenty percent of leagues. The main

665
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 4: reason I'm going after them is because they're playing against

666
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 4: Will Levis. We've we've seen him produce incredible, turnover worthy

667
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 4: plays each of the first two weeks, like truly stupid plays.

668
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: So you side with Callahan, Ryan Callahan saying like, what

669
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: the bleep are you?

670
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, yeah, that was great? Totally, that was great,

671
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 3: I am.

672
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 4: But then also the Packers themselves deserve credit. They've had

673
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 4: five interceptions over the first two games of the season.

674
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 4: That's impressive, and I expect them to get another one

675
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 4: against Levis just because of his reckless mindset and how

676
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 4: he plays. And they performed last week against Indy they

677
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 4: had ten fantasy points and that was another quarterback who

678
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,719
Speaker 4: you know is we have some questions about right now

679
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 4: and Anthony Richardson. So I like them to repeat that.

680
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: And Green Bay's second, by the way, pretty should Yeah,

681
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 2: they should produce yea because you've got You've got guys

682
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 2: all around there and it's jyr Alexander, you, sim Xavier McKinney.

683
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 2: This offseason, there's no excuse to not play well in

684
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: that secondary.

685
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 3: It's great that they're finally producing turnovers. Right. That was

686
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 3: a big thing in both Chicago and Green Bay, that

687
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 3: you'd have some great possessions, but you never got that

688
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,360
Speaker 3: big turnover, right, and expectation Dan and you and I

689
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 3: do in the podcast the last couple of years, how

690
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 3: many times did we offer Green Bay up as a right,

691
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 3: here's an opportunity, and then they'd go through and maybe

692
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 3: they'd give up, you know, seventeen points, but they wouldn't

693
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 3: record the Saxon turnovers to get you over fantasy wise,

694
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 3: like you're not helping me here.

695
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: It's funny when you just you look at the names

696
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 2: on Green Bay's defense, and it's not like it. It's

697
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 2: not a no name defense by any means, just certain

698
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: names aren't household names. But then you realize on how

699
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 2: many first round picks, and it's something that we actually

700
00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 2: had talked about either in one of our preseason app

701
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: or one of our Week one episodes. But now's their

702
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 2: opportunity to cash in in Nashville. There will be a

703
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 2: lot of Packer fans at that game, that is for sure.

704
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if it'll be an exact home field advantage,

705
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 2: but you're gonna hear a lot of Packer fans in Nashville.

706
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,400
Speaker 2: Who was the other team that you were debating on,

707
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 2: who would we get the silver medal of your streaming defense?

708
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 4: So i'd mentioned one at the top of the show,

709
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 4: and I'm actually going to say a different one than

710
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 4: I had mentioned. It was actually, yeah, the Buccaneers. Now, Mike,

711
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 4: you did mention that they are potentially without Vidavea. I

712
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 4: don't really care because they're playing Denver. To me, it's

713
00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,880
Speaker 4: just not a big deal because a Todd Bowles defenses

714
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 4: and this isn't just because of Vidavea. He always does

715
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 4: a great job getting those guys to stop the run.

716
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 4: And for Denver, if you can't stop the run, good

717
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 4: luck to Bonix. I just don't see him being able

718
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 4: to do much because we haven't seen it yet.

719
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's gonna be a tough one. Todd Bowles

720
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 2: and Jaden Daniels trying to figure out stuff in week

721
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: one and bow Nix is at a tough time go

722
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 2: from Pittsburgh to Tampa. Yeah, that's a little difficult.

723
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 3: All right. Here's the question for both of you, though, Yes,

724
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 3: which rookie quarterback throws the first touchdown pass? Because as

725
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 3: of now, JJ McCarthy still tied for.

726
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 4: The lead, it's you and I have the same number

727
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 4: of touchdown Patrice is the.

728
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: Rookies perfect transition. Mike, Oh, let's go my Oasis song

729
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 2: this week? Cigarettes and alcohol. Yeah, they're not good for you,

730
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: but they're gonna be good for you and you're gonna

731
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 2: enjoy him this weekend. Caleb Williams, it's gonna happen, Mike,

732
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 2: look at you. Yes, I think that at some point

733
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: it's found to happen. And I think he's gonna be

734
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: the first one. Because Jane Daniels doesn't play until Monday night.

735
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 2: So it really that we've got it. We've got an

736
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 2: early kickoff on Sunday. I know that I'm that I'm

737
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 2: bending my rules, but for those that are just joining

738
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: the podcast in honor of Oasis' reunion, I'm gonna just

739
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 2: pick a player who I think can resemble an Oasis song.

740
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 2: Don't Look Back in Anger was Dak last week. Supersonic

741
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: was Kyler Murray in week one. And cigarettes and alcohol

742
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 2: they may not be good for you, but hey, let

743
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 2: people like to have a good time with him. And

744
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: that's what I think we're gonna get with Caleb Williams.

745
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: Maybe he hasn't been good, but it's gonna be fun

746
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: to play Caleb Williams. He may be running for his

747
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,360
Speaker 2: life in Indianapolis. I just think that turns out to

748
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 2: be a fun game on Sunday. If the Bears can allow,

749
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: if the Bears defense can allow Anthony Richards in some

750
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 2: space and don't completely muzzle him, I think we could

751
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 2: have a fun one on the turf at Lucas Oil.

752
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 3: Oh, let's get after forty three and a half to

753
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 3: total Indy a one and a half point favorite. Yeah,

754
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 3: I'll be at my TV. Maybe I'll be live streaming

755
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 3: my visceral reactions and we'll see if I could test

756
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,760
Speaker 3: how much I can push the boundaries of my employment.

757
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 2: I am not giving a survivor pick, but Ian's point

758
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 2: of the Buccaneers defense, I think you're probably going to

759
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 2: see some people jump on the Buccaneers for a survivor pick. Again. Yeah,

760
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 2: not my survivor pick. I am banning myself this week,

761
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 2: but I think that one is one that you're going

762
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 2: to see other people. I'm trying to get around my

763
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 2: one week ban and say, you guys want to take

764
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 2: a shot pick. You guys want to take a shot

765
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 2: at any of the survivor I mean there's you know,

766
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: Skyler Thompson's getting the start from Miami and Seattle, the

767
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 2: Monday Night Affairs, or the Bills and Bengals at home,

768
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 2: you guys want Since I've banned myself for my poor

769
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: survivor picks the first two weeks, you guys want to

770
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 2: pick up any slack on.

771
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 3: This, I'll take a step. I'll run with the Raiders,

772
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 3: all right, Okay, perfect five point favorites, thirty nine and

773
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 3: a half. I think it's a better looking output with

774
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 3: some balance, maybe a little Chewba Hubbard action out of

775
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 3: the backfield for Carolina, but not enough to get the w.

776
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 3: I'm just talking straight wins and losses. I'll take the

777
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 3: Raiders to win at.

778
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,320
Speaker 2: Home my points of palooza, and I can't take the

779
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: team that are the teams that have the highest over

780
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: under because that is basically cheating Mike if I unless

781
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 2: I'm missing something. Lions Cardinals is the highest that I've

782
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 2: had this week, So I'm going to go a little

783
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 2: slightly lower than that one at forty seven and a half.

784
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: Right now, it's the last game of the week. Give

785
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 2: me Bengals, Commanders, you have Burrow third in your quarterbacking spot.

786
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 2: I think that happens, and if Cincinnati puts up a

787
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: lot of points, maybe Washington can keep track. I know

788
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: last week they didn't. They only kicked seven field goals

789
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 2: in the game. Only seven field goals the Giants. We

790
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 2: went through the whole issue of their kicking and how

791
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 2: they lost. The other fact of the matter is is

792
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: Washington actually dominated that game statistically. Just the Giants couldn't

793
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 2: take care of the advantages or their opportunities that they had,

794
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 2: but Washington was moving the ball. Brian Robinson was a threat.

795
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 2: So I think you could see the Commanders put some

796
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 2: points up against the Bengals in what could be a

797
00:39:57,960 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 2: fun game on Monday night in Cincinnati. My points at

798
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 2: Palooza for Week.

799
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 3: Three, I dig it, dig it. I'm waiting to see

800
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 3: the breakthrough. There's a lot of talent there in Washington. Well,

801
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: it may not translate to wins and losses, expecting some

802
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 3: better things Cincinnati. We'll see if lou Maruno did I

803
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 3: get his name right yet? Ana Roumo, yeah, Anaumo. Whether

804
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: he can you know, terrorize Daniels as he's wont to

805
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 3: do with some others.

806
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 2: I'll tell you they better have a chip on their

807
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 2: shoulder from how things ended in Kansas City. We'll see

808
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 2: if the Commanders can continue their their winning ways as

809
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: they try to put together a wind streak. But it

810
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: all starts at four thirty Eastern time on Monday night

811
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,520
Speaker 2: with the Jaguars and Bills, and then forty five minutes

812
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 2: later Commanders and Bengals. Again. I'm not a huge fan

813
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: of it. I don't love it, but I guess if

814
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 2: you can get more football on a Monday night, go

815
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 2: for it.

816
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,879
Speaker 3: Just double it up for me, man, give you back

817
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 3: to backs, Yeah, started earlier.

818
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, or just or yeah, spread it out just

819
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 2: a little bit more. You know, if the first game stinks,

820
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 2: then have the second game start. You know at that point,

821
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: maybe do a two hour window, but hey, what do

822
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 2: I know? Then maybe you could only do East Coast

823
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 2: West Coast teams. Who knows. But this way they can

824
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 2: jam in their two East Coast teams and have it

825
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 2: all be good. But I like the Monday night affair

826
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 2: that you've got with the Jaguars and Bills and Commanders

827
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 2: and Bengals, two non division rivals. You have a conference

828
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 2: matchup and then a cross conference deal. I like the

829
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 2: actual matchups. I just don't like when they kick off.

830
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 3: There you have it, Mike, He's.

831
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 2: Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Bayer, that's Ian Roddy. And that's

832
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 2: it for week three's episode of I Want Your Flex.

833
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 2: If you have any questions, you can always hit us

834
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 2: up prior to kickoff. Mike, You're always busy Sunday morning

835
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 2: answering the questions at Swollen Dome. You can find me

Speaker 2: up being roddy at Ian, roddy underscore, I got you.

839
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 2: Any last words Mike before we say goodbye.

840
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:09,839
Speaker 3: Hopefully some normalization, some more, some better quarterback play. Right,

841
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 3: That's the thing I keep wishing on because as much

842
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 3: as I like field goal kickers, but guys thirty five

843
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 3: fifty plus at this point through two weeks, let's get

844
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 3: a little bit more aggressive with those offenses. Come on,

845
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 3: let's hit some big eters.

846
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 2: I am down with that. So for Ian and Mike,

847
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm Dan Pyre. Yeah, it's good. The ends on this weekend,

848
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,280
Speaker 2: this as I want your flex
