1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: At least he's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven Home of the

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: Black and Gold cast in Steelers Nation Radio.

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: And welcome back. I am Dale Lollly. This is our

5
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: number two of the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network.

6
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: He is the Matt Williamson and Matt it is time,

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 2: as it is Tuesday, to do a little fantasy football

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,919
Speaker 2: focus here and look at this week's top pickups and

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,959
Speaker 2: the look ahead at the streaming defense schedule.

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 3: I don't know the schedule will yet.

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 2: At quarterback, Sam Donald only rostered in twenty nine percent

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: of Yahoo leagues eight touchdown passes in the first few weeks.

13
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 3: He throws touchdown passes and he's consistent enough that I

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 3: would say should be in every league, Probably not a

15
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: top twelve guy.

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: Did you see what Belichick said about Sam Donald? I

17
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: think he was on the McAfee show and Long and

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: short of it, he says, every everywhere Sam has been,

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: Sam Darnald has been, the teams loved him.

20
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, except the Jets drafted of it and all that. Right.

21
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 3: I like when Belichick says things. I mean, he's kind

22
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: of an interesting media guy. Anytime he can take a

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 3: poke at the Jets, So he does, does he? Oh yeah,

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: yeah that makes sense. I remember he was their head

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: coach for a second, but yeah, three seconds. Yeeah. And

26
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: I think Donald's all pick up a ball. Yeah, he's playing. Well.

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: The weapons are good, like would you rather have him

28
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 3: or a car? Oh?

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: Donald?

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 3: Would you? Yeah? The volume, the weapons are better, weapons

31
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: are better. Yeah, neither one runs a time Donald run more.

32
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: Well, they're gonna get Hawkins him back here soon.

33
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 3: He's a guy to maybe pick up soon too. Yeah.

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if people, a lot of people drafted him,

35
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: maybe they dropped him after you know, yeah, just stuff happened.

36
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: But yeah, if he's he's been able to.

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: Go grab him because it should only be a few

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: more weeks. Gino Smith's only rostered him forty three percent

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: of leagues.

40
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 3: That doesn't get enough respect. But he also doesn't run.

41
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 3: He's better in the world world for fantasy. But yeah,

42
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 3: you could win a title with him absolutely.

43
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: Of course, Justin Fields gonna get another start up, you know.

44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my other league, my home league, my only

45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 3: quarterbacks Richardson And I'm looking at some of these names

46
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: and I think I'm gonna put in for fields. I mean,

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 3: I think the running's coming.

48
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, how long that lasts will see it?

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: I don't know, but right? Uh? And Andy Dalton like,

50
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 3: would you rather start fields against the Colts or Richardson

51
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 3: against the Steelers? Oh? Fields, I think fields? Yeah?

52
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, Andy Dalton coming off that three hundred yard performance.

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 3: I'm not quite there yet. That's nice in all.

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: The game script should be good though, Yeah, oh yeah,

55
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 2: he's gonna have to throw the football.

56
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 3: Yes, and Deonta is legit, and frankly the folks around

57
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: him aren't bad. I just have a hunch that's gonna

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 3: be his best game of the year, probably know.

59
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, I caught him by surprise, right running back. We

60
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: talked about this guy yesterday, Bucky Irving with the Buccaneers

61
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 2: thirty five percent ownership.

62
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: Very much so, I think he's going to be the

63
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: starter very soon.

64
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 2: Braylen Allen we talked about he's owned in thirty six percent.

65
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: Leaks he's not going to be the starter soon, but again, but.

66
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 3: He sees the field every game a fair amount. He's

67
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 3: almost like Warren in terms a little bit. Yeah, he

68
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: could be a flex for you, especially when these bye

69
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 3: weeks hit and injuries.

70
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 2: And especially in games that you think the Jets are

71
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: going to win, like if they're playing the Patriots as

72
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: they did last week, or they're playing the Titans as

73
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: he did, they're going to win those games. Braylan Allen

74
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 2: is going to get some run.

75
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: I need to double check this, but I think him

76
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 3: and Hall have been on the field together too, Yeah,

77
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: because they detach. Halls such a good receiver, you know.

78
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: But Allen has ninety six rushing yards in a touchdown.

79
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: He also has six catches for forty five yards, which

80
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 2: I think is a little something that he didn't know.

81
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: The Wisconsin Backs don't catch a lot of pass.

82
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 3: Rights, right, And I think he's capable. Yeah, he's a

83
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: big dude. He's big.

84
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: He was one of my favorites in this year's draft.

85
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 2: He's he's twenty years old.

86
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 3: I say it's the youngest guy in the league. Yeah,

87
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 3: a wide margin.

88
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Uh.

89
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 2: And the final guys that got another guy you mentioned yesterday,

90
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: Rico Rico Daldell.

91
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 3: I think he's starting to take over. It's not going

92
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: to be you know, but it's going to You can

93
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 3: catch the ball too, right, He's got some ability and

94
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: ze looks pretty shot. Some of these other guys are

95
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 3: just guys. It's got a blurb a minute ago. Kareem

96
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: Hunt's been promoted to the fifty three. Is that do

97
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 3: anything for you? No? I think they have distinct roles.

98
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: I think he's the three.

99
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't even know why. It's unless somebody

100
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: tried to sign him, or they promised him they would

101
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: activate him. What the logic is, I don't get it.

102
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: Steals more valuable than.

103
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: Him a wide receiver. The Juwan Jennings thirty two percent ownership,

104
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: I'm not buying that.

105
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not running out and putting the claim

106
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 3: in for him. Yeah, because if Kittle or Debo comes back,

107
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: he takes a huge hit. I mean, maybe you get

108
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 3: one more week, but that he's okay, but he's not

109
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: gonna do that again.

110
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 2: In fact, if you have Juwan Jennings and somebody is hurting,

111
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: try to trade him.

112
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he can get anything for him maybe right, Yeah,

113
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 3: you'll be cutting them in two weeks anyway, right.

114
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: Alan Lazard roster than thirty percent of leagues. He's gotten

115
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: sixteen targets.

116
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 3: I know, and I get that. It's just I roll

117
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 3: my eyes because when a you're ever gonna check the

118
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: box Sunday morning to put him in your lineup.

119
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: I mean, he's got eleven catches, one hundred and forty

120
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: eight yards and three touches the Rogers favorite.

121
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 3: I guess. I mean I just said injuries and bi

122
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 3: weeks are on the horizon, so you might get then.

123
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 2: Be worse than the worst starts at There will be

124
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: worst players started as wide receiver threes in the bye weeks.

125
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess you're right. I mean, when we get

126
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: down to wide receiver fifty because three teams or four

127
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: teams are off or whatever.

128
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: I'm not buying on the cole Comet train yet.

129
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 3: But we're not gonna throw at that volume.

130
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 2: Ten catches ninety seven yards against.

131
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 3: Who A good point.

132
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: The Colts Pat Fryarmouth could he was cole Comet was

133
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 2: open anytime the Bears needed a first down.

134
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. We mentioned in safeties and linebackers aren't very impressive. Yeah, group,

135
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: Those safeties aren't bad. I mean they're okay, but the

136
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 3: linebackers aren't. I can see Fireman and they play a

137
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 3: lot of his own. You just sit down on his own yea.

138
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you're getting so Yeah, this could be

139
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 2: a big pat Friarmouth week, we mentioned Darnell Mooney. He

140
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 2: should be in leagues for sure.

141
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, they like him and it was not long ago

142
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 3: that he was good with the Bears too.

143
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know Quentin Johnston. He only got targeted twice

144
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 2: in that game but the Chargers, but his touchdown was fluky.

145
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, he also is a good porter every week.

146
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: And I just wonder if he's not Herbert.

147
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the big thing. Yeah, and tackles.

148
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: One Dell Robinson. If you're in a PPR league, he's

149
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: very bad. He's a monster.

150
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 3: He's a monster. I mean he'll have fifty yards but

151
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 3: about eight catches.

152
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, he's gonna get you double digits.

153
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: Him and neighbors get like every target.

154
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: Every target for sure. Jacobe Myers had a seven for

155
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: sixty two to one touchdown line this week.

156
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's kind of that wizard conversation. That would be

157
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: a guy who would try to pry off the Yeah,

158
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 3: I think he would try to pry him off of

159
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: the Raider. Yeah. I don't think he wants to be there.

160
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: I don't think he'd be super expensive either.

161
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, in terms of everybody, everybody's talking about the steel

162
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: they should stealer, should go get DeVante Adams. No, I'm

163
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: going for the other guy because he's a lot cheaper.

164
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: I don't.

165
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna have to give up a second round

166
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: pick any more to get to get Jakobe Myers.

167
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: He's probably a two year start or four or something

168
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: like that at this point.

169
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: And George Pickens is my He's my one.

170
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: I don't need a one.

171
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: I need somebody to compliment George Pickens player.

172
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: He's reliable.

173
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: Uh No offense. Six catches for sixty yards against Miami

174
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 2: last week.

175
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean, I know, tight ends. Yeah, there's some

176
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 3: injuries there. Yeah, I don't know. He doesn't really move

177
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: the needle for me, but he's okay.

178
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,559
Speaker 2: How about the Mario Douglas performance against the Patriot against

179
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 2: the Jets for the Patriots eight he he touches for

180
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 2: seventy eight yards.

181
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: He gets open and not much upside, you know. I

182
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 3: mean a lot of these guys are all fine. I

183
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 3: mean the waiver wire this week doesn't jump out at me.

184
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: To be honest, most weeks, the game script is gonna

185
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: play in his favor. They're not gonna be able to

186
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 2: They're not gonna be able to run everybody into submission

187
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: like they did the first couple of weeks.

188
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 3: From Andre fell Off a cliff last week too. Yeah,

189
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 3: heavy usage.

190
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you can score against the Patriots, you're going

191
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,679
Speaker 2: to force them to throw the football.

192
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. I assume May's gonna be in the game soon,

193
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 3: for better or worse. Yeah, man, we'll see. Uh.

194
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: Looking at this week's defensive matchups. The Thursday night game, Ye,

195
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 2: Dallas at the Giants.

196
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: You play the Giants right, or you play the Dallas right?

197
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 3: Do you? I mean they're gonna get run on bad

198
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 3: Singletary is good enough to run on them. I was

199
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: thinking I don't want either one of those.

200
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: Moving on the Sundays games, the Saints are at the Falcons.

201
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: Both won and Saints to and one the Falcons one

202
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: and two.

203
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: I know the Saints in put up many points, but

204
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 3: I don't love you though either one of those. I

205
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: kind of the Falcons defense is starting to they make

206
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 3: plays with those safeties. Yeah. I just think the Saints

207
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 3: offense is pretty darn good. Okay.

208
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: The Bengals are at the Panthers. Can't play the Bengals defense.

209
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: It's bad, It's awful. Yeah, even in that matchup. I

210
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 3: mean if it would have been a week ago, everyone

211
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: we picked up the Bengals.

212
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, what I mean, yeah, but they can't stop anybody.

213
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 3: No, you can't play Carolina's defense against anybody. There might

214
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 3: be a lot of points in that game.

215
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, you got the Rams at the Bears.

216
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 3: I'm not looking at any of these Bears. The's probably

217
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 3: in your league and it's okay, but it's not a

218
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 3: great match great matchup, I don't think.

219
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: I mean, the Rams offensive line is a mess right now.

220
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 3: I know, I mean Bears d is. I don't think

221
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 3: I drop them to pick up any of these other

222
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: ones we talked about, not so far, and I'm not

223
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: pick up the Ams and streaming them against the Bears.

224
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 2: The Vikings have played good defense thus far. They're at

225
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 2: the Packers. I know, I don't love that.

226
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 3: He hasn't been bad either, Yeah, I think Love's back.

227
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: I don't love that matchup. No, I mean, Vikings are

228
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: definitely in leagues.

229
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: Now and they're gonna blitz like crazy, and.

230
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: You know, I drop them, but I'm not going run

231
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 3: out picking out it picking up either one of those.

232
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 2: Here's a good one. Finally, the Jaguars are at the Texans.

233
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 3: Texans are great. Yeah, the Texans are a great matchup. Yeah,

234
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: Jags are a nightmare. They're bad.

235
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 2: I'm not all across the board everything.

236
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, and their defense was horrendous last time. Yeah, I

237
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 3: mean I think there's five straight drives they scored, Yeah,

238
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: a touchdown and just in the first half. No secondary

239
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: is all banged up.

240
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: The Steelers are at the Colts. Well, Steelers are probably

241
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: in your league, I would assume. Yeah, I'm not starting

242
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 2: to high on the list. Start, I'm not starting the Colts.

243
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 2: I'm not starting the Colts. I mean, they probably won't

244
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 2: give up thirty. Yeah, it'll be a high scoring game,

245
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,959
Speaker 2: but they're they're gonna be on the field the entire game.

246
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's not gonna be a good defensive day.

247
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 3: I don't think for them.

248
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: The Broncos are at the Jets. I kind of like,

249
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: the Jets are in your league.

250
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Jets are in your league and you're thrilled about

251
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 3: it for this, But I.

252
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: Love the fact that the Broncos just played in Tampa. Yeah,

253
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: flying back to Denver. I don't know if they're staying

254
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: on the East Coast or not.

255
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: But either way. Now you have to go to Yeah,

256
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: any interest in the Broncos dast like crazy and they

257
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: passed the rush the pass or.

258
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 2: Not against Rogers, he'll get the ball out.

259
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 3: They don't imagine certain will be on Wilson. I'm reaching

260
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 3: on that because there's not many good options so far. Yeah,

261
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: there really aren't. Jets you're happy about.

262
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: Eagles are at the Buccaneers. I need to know who's

263
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: playing for the Buccaneers.

264
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I'm loving either one. If they cant

265
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 3: Si and Winfield are still out, yeah, tell me that

266
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: right now.

267
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 2: If they're gonna play, Yeah, okay, I'll start the Buccaneers.

268
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: But because Philadelphia, I don't love the Eagles d either though. Yeah.

269
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: I just like the way the Eagles offense right now.

270
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: Very banged up, right, that's what you're saying. Yeah, I mean.

271
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: I don't know. It doesn't seem like a low scoring

272
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: game to me.

273
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean it neither did last week's against

274
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: New Orleans and the fifteen to twelve.

275
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 3: Jalen Carter and those guys were quite good in that camp.

276
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: This is two straight road games for the Eagles as

277
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 2: well in Tampa.

278
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, a little bit of heat, little bit of heat. Right.

279
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: The Commanders are at the Cardinals. There's your track meet

280
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 2: of the week.

281
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 3: Absolutely, and the Commanders are not a startable defense. Neither

282
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: are the Cardinals, right, Yeah, I can't wait. I don't

283
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: know the it's got to be like fifty five. Yeah,

284
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 3: Like I was, neither one of those teams are going

285
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 3: to stop the other one. I was looking at EPA

286
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: and stuff today. Washington's number two on offense. They've scored,

287
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 3: they scored, They scored on every possession in the last

288
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: two games except when they kneeled the ball at the

289
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: end of the game. Yeah, it's been really something. And

290
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 3: they're just like the Cardinals, I mean, like all their

291
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 3: talents another talents on defense? No, right, none.

292
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: The Patriots are at the forty nine ers. Well, the

293
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: forty nine ers are in your league.

294
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they're not in great shade. They've lost hard

295
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: rave of the D line is not what it used

296
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 3: to be.

297
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 2: The Patriots D could they could do some stuff against

298
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers, especially if if they don't have

299
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 2: all the weapons out.

300
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: There supposed to be. Trent Williams has been battling stuff too.

301
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: Patriots will slow that thing down.

302
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not my favorite one, but it's okay, Yeah,

303
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: compared to some of these other ones. Oh boy.

304
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are at the Chargers. The Chargers would be

305
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 2: a defense you'd normally try to start. Maybe they played

306
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 2: well the Chiefs you're going to play for sure, but

307
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: can you start the Chargers defense?

308
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: Especially they're out, but that's only there. They can they

309
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 3: can get around that. It's probably top twelve ish, but borderline. Yeah,

310
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 3: Chiefs is a home run.

311
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 2: The Browns are at the Raiders.

312
00:13:58,520 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 3: Browns are Yes.

313
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: Do you start the Raiders defense against the Browns?

314
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: Not based off of last week, but it's been a

315
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: pretty good defense. They got some pass.

316
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: Rushers in Cleveland just allowed eight sacks last week to

317
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: the Giants.

318
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 3: Crosby might have five. They're at home, right, Yes, I

319
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: think i'd start. The Raiders are one of the better

320
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: starts on here. I mean the Browns offense I think

321
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 3: was last in EPA today. It's that bad. Yeah, they're

322
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: a good enough defense. You take a bah Deshaun will

323
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 3: probably throw one to the other and there's a turnover

324
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 3: to yeah, the bigger one. Two of the best defenses.

325
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: The Bills are at the Ravens. Cool it's also one

326
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 3: of the best offenses.

327
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, Buffalo, so was the Ravens offenses. They're running the ball.

328
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 2: I don't love either one. I don't love that match up, right.

329
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 3: I mean, if you owned one of those two where

330
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: you drop them for the Raiders, probably not. But this

331
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: would rather hold on, yeah than live with it for

332
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 3: a week. Yeah. Boy, there's some bad matchups. That's not

333
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 3: great for defenses at all.

334
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: And then we have two Monday night games again this week,

335
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: and again the same thing.

336
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: Titans are at the Dolphins, Titans Titans at the start

337
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 3: of the week. Yeah, yeah, that's a great one. Miy

338
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 3: Miami's not bad.

339
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: Oh, that defense is bad though, I know there's nothing

340
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 2: trust Levis to help that defense. Well, that's the thing

341
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: now you're looking that's what you almost have to look

342
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 2: at this week. Of the quarterbacks are going to be

343
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: on the field, Like, who's going to throw one to

344
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: the other team.

345
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 3: That's we'll do something stupid. Tennessee's a must start.

346
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I imagine the Dolphins starts. That's what I was

347
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: just going to say. Imagine Huntley starts for the Dolphins

348
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: this week. He doesn't do much.

349
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 3: He threw sideways.

350
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: And then the final game of the weekend, The Seahawks

351
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: are at the Lions.

352
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: No, and no, I don't want to start them. How

353
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: about the Lions?

354
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: I guess, Yeah, I guess I would start the Lions defense.

355
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: But if you have them, Hutchinson get sacks and it's

356
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 3: not a bad defense, that's for sure. No one Seattle though. Yeah.

357
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if Brian branch plays this week.

358
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 3: Though.

359
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: I oh, he got a massive collision and had to be.

360
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: Helped from the field last week.

361
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 2: I think was it with McBride, Yes, they both went

362
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: out of the game.

363
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 3: Could miss this games. Yeah, I guess if I had

364
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 3: the Lions, I'm not dropping them. Yeah.

365
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: I don't love starting the Seahawks defense.

366
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 3: I don't think you like own them in DFS.

367
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 2: Like, there's just not much there. No, I mean the

368
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers defense might be the start of the week,

369
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: but they're who theyre.

370
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 3: Going to have, just a hunch. I don't know what

371
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 3: the DFS prices are, but Tennis is the one that

372
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 3: stands out to me that probably won't be crazy expensive.

373
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: The Steelers defense might be one of the better starts

374
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 2: of the week.

375
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, For whatever reason, the DFS doesn't seem to

376
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: have them. I don't get that most expensive defenses, which

377
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: I don't get that at all change.

378
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think it might start to change, although

379
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: it's a road game, so maybe it doesn't shift that far.

380
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 3: But they should definitely be top five. Yeah, and if

381
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 3: they're not, I think they're immediate plug and play DFS pick. Absolutely. Well.

382
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 3: We'll get to that later in the week when we

383
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: do those.

384
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 2: But man, there's just if you're streaming these defenses, yuck.

385
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not a good streaming week.

Speaker 2: Absolutely and also taking the world by storm have been

412
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers and we'll see where they come in

413
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 2: at this week on this week's Power Rankings on NFL

414
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 2: dot com. He's done by Eric Edholm on NFL dot com,

415
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 2: and we have a new says Carolina still last for you?

416
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 3: They are not well, they're not on here? Do they last? Tennessee? Oh?

417
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 3: I think Tennessee beats the Panthers. Boy Will Levis is playing.

418
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 3: I mean they definitely have the quarterback disadvantage. Yeah, better defense,

419
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 3: better defense, But that Will Levis stinks. He's really bad. Yeah,

420
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 3: I mean I didn't like him coming out of school either.

421
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 2: And he's got eight turnovers in three games, Like, that's

422
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 2: just bad.

423
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 3: And he does he misses a lot of layups.

424
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 2: Too, and his turnover are mind boggling.

425
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, like what were you even how do you

426
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: explain yourself in the film room the next year? What

427
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: were you? What were you trying to accomplish there? Yeah?

428
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's bad. Yeah, we've said this for

429
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 3: six months that Rudolph's the best better player he will be.

430
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 2: They they didn't draft Will. The coaching staff that's there

431
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 2: now did not draft Will Levis. They have nothing tied

432
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: to Will Levis.

433
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we were just joking off the air on know

434
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: why we were talking about Tennessee. We're talking about quarterack

435
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: stuff and Rudolph blah blah, Like there's nothing like Burrow

436
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 3: in terms of you know what the Bengals.

437
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 2: Are processor Yeah right, total opposit total opposite. Mason Rudolph

438
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 2: are going to be starting there, Yes, sooner rather than later.

439
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

440
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 2: At thirty at thirty one are the Carolina Pinisay, yeah,

441
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 2: they can't go for their defense, but they didn't win.

442
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 3: They won and one big Yeah at.

443
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 2: Thirty down seven spots the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wow, Wow, that

444
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 2: was an awful performance.

445
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: At the state game losing streak. Going back to last year.

446
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence is completing fifty two percent of his passes.

447
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: I saw somebody put out the graphic on the.

448
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: Someone tweeted me about on ex Twitter.

449
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yesterday, Trevor Lawrence his career numbers next to those

450
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 2: of Daniel Jones, and they're nearly identical.

451
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 3: Almost dead even. Yeah, and one.

452
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 2: Of them is considered the savior and the other guys

453
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 2: considered the worst quarterback in the league.

454
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's getting bad. And I think that Jag seat

455
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 3: is as hot as any for first guy to go

456
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 3: during the season. Although both of.

457
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 2: Them are making over thirty million dollars.

458
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: A year Jones and Lawrence.

459
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Yeah, they're both getting paid.

460
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 3: But they've both been Yeah, I've been a Lawrence apologists.

461
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 3: I thought he's been very underrated. He's been horrendous.

462
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: Can't play, He's been horrendous, can't play.

463
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 3: He's not an elevator. No.

464
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 2: At twenty nine, up two spots to Giants. I think

465
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 2: they're better than that.

466
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're not super easy to play against,

467
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: Like I might have them ahead of the Raiders Denver.

468
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna put them real high.

469
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 2: But well, at twenty eight down two spots are the Raiders,

470
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: so they're not in that territory.

471
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: It's amazing that they're only down two spots. And I

472
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 3: say that because last week you win in Baltimore, which

473
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 3: is wow, the Raiders. Yeah, and then you lose to

474
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:17,880
Speaker 3: what was the.

475
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 2: Carolina Yeah, that's the way this NFL season is going.

476
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 2: Twenty seven holding steady of the Patriots might be a

477
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: little rich for them. At twenty six down eight spots,

478
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns.

479
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: They should be plumbting. I mean, the defense isn't gonna

480
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: be able to carry them. The offensive line is a mess. Yeah,

481
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 3: the offense is one of the worst in the league. Yeah,

482
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 3: they'd be lower for me. If the Browns and Jags

483
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: played eleven games, I don't know because I wouldn't want

484
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: to watch it. But two of the most disappointing teams.

485
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: Oh well, I throw Miami in there.

486
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: Well, that brings us to at twenty five, down eight spots, Miami.

487
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 3: Yeah. There are the three teams we keep lumping together

488
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: that we thought had a chance at the AFC playoffs.

489
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: I can't imagine a world that they unless two of

490
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 3: it comes back as early as he possibly could, and yeah, fine,

491
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 3: have to be fine.

492
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 2: I yeah, but their season may be over by then.

493
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 3: I know. I think the three of them are.

494
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 2: Deep trouble deep do do? At twenty four, down three

495
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 2: spots the Chicago Bears. They're a tough watch.

496
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 3: They're a tough watch. Their defense is good. I was

497
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 3: gonna say they should be lower, but the teams mentioned

498
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: aren't very good. The bottom ten aren't. There's there's the

499
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: halves and the have not.

500
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 2: At twenty three, down to spot, Arizona.

501
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 3: They're the best team we mentioned, the best team we've

502
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 3: mentioned without question, and they're not great. No, have you

503
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 3: mentioned Denver yet?

504
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 2: At twenty two, up eight spots, is Denver?

505
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: Oh? Arizona? Arizona destroy them? Yeah? Yeah, I'm not sure

506
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 3: Denver beats the Browns and Jags consistently.

507
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. At twenty one, down five spots, the Cincinnati Bengals.

508
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 3: Really bad loss. I mean they're oh and three.

509
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 2: I think they make the playoffs, though, since nineteen ninety,

510
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 2: of the one hundred and sixty two teams that started

511
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 2: oh to three, only four made the playoffs. Only four then,

512
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: really out of one hundred and sixty two, and for them,

513
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 2: to do it. I mean, people were talking about them

514
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: being that they're the team that could beat the Chiefs

515
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 2: and make it to the Super Bowl.

516
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 3: I don't think they can. I just know if I

517
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: power I said that, because if I power ranked my AFC,

518
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 3: they might be number seven. Because there's a lot of

519
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 3: bad teams right down in the AFC.

520
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 2: The problem for them is that they've now lost two

521
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 2: games at home. Well there's that to bad football teams.

522
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 2: They really need to go ten and three. Yeah, that's well,

523
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: they've need to go eleven and three or ten and four.

524
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 3: Oh, they're seventeen games.

525
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 2: I think ten would welcome to the twenty twenties.

526
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 3: Matt four I think would get him in.

527
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,880
Speaker 2: Probably can they, but time breakers went their way. They're

528
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 2: the way they're.

529
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 3: Playing right now.

530
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 2: I don't see I can't see them going ten and four.

531
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: Though. They just lost their right tackle, by the way,

532
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: that's in charge of t. J. Watt. At least they

533
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 3: drafted Mims. The defense is bad awful again, Like they

534
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: keep citing EPA, their offense is like fifth or six.

535
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 3: Their defense is like fifth or six.

536
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 2: From the bottom, Jaydon Daniels had as many touchdowns yesterday

537
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: against him as he had incompletions.

538
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he wasn't dumping the ball off. No, No,

539
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 3: he's making They was making high level throws and they

540
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: can't stop the run.

541
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: And they can't stop the run, so they got to

542
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 2: sell out to stop the run and then leaves them

543
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: vulnerable on the back end.

544
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 3: No, I hear you. They're they're concerned. And I don't

545
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 3: think Borrow has been as awesome as.

546
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 2: He had now he's not as accurate, Ok, but it's

547
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 2: not I think that wrist is a little uh worse

548
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 2: than what they were letting on at twenty holding steady

549
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 2: the Falcons.

550
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 3: They're definitely the best team yet. Yeah, I think Atlanta

551
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 3: and Arizona to ok teams that we've mentioned.

552
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: This team should have moved up this far. Nineteen up

553
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: six spots the Rams.

554
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 3: I'm not there on that. I'm not there on the

555
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 3: name of the McVeigh shanahan. Yeah, the Niners lost that

556
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 3: game more than the Rams wanted to.

557
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, at eighteen up six spots the Colts, Oh, just

558
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: because they won. Did anybody watch that game, actually physically

559
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 2: watch the game?

560
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 3: Because I did? Yeah?

561
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, And there's no way they're the eighteenth best

562
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: team in the League.

563
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 3: I don't think so either. They're way worse than Arizona.

564
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: A couple of these teams.

565
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 2: Atlanta, Oh, Atlanta would wipe the flour with Indianapolis Bijon

566
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 2: run for two hundred against those guys at seventeen.

567
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: You almost feel like if the the Bears Colts game

568
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 3: was very even to me, you know, like, but if

569
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 3: the Bears would have ended up on top in the end,

570
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 3: the Colts would be in their spot and the Bears

571
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 3: would be in this spot, I guess.

572
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 2: But that doesn't make it right. No, No, it's certain

573
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: really equal. Team Atlanta is a better team than both

574
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 2: of those. Oh yeah, yeah, at seventeen down six spots, Alice,

575
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: I guess.

576
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 3: I mean, I think there's a respect factor there other

577
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 3: than Parsons and Lawrence. Though. The defense is a problem.

578
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: It's a problem.

579
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 2: They cannot stop the run.

580
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: You can stop the run. Their linebackers are very light.

581
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 3: People think guys like Bland are really good players. They're not, now,

582
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 3: you know, I mean, they're not as talented. Look at

583
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 3: the interceptions.

584
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 2: Oh, he has a bunch of interceptions, well because people

585
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 2: throw at him.

586
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Parsons doesn't rush past because he's playing the

587
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 3: run all the time.

588
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, they haven't rushed for one hundred yards in a

589
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 2: game yet.

590
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: This season, and their own line is some rookies, And yeah, they're.

591
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 2: Putting everything on Dak Prescott's plate and they don't have

592
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: receivers other than Ceedee Lamb.

593
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 3: When I when you said that, I kind of thought

594
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 3: that might be too high. Is Atlanta better than Dallas? Maybe? Maybe? Yeah?

595
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: I think at Atlanta would give them all kinds of.

596
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: Problems playing the Falcons. Yeah.

597
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 2: At sixteen up, twelve spots, Washington.

598
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,400
Speaker 3: I can't. Yeah, it's still like the worst defense they're

599
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 3: bad on. Their offense has been a juggernaut. I don't

600
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: know how sustainable it is though.

601
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the more tape you get a jant

602
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: of Daniels, more teams are going to figure this out.

603
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 3: I bet that's the highest there always. Yeah, let's just

604
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,439
Speaker 3: put it that way. Uh.

605
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: At fifteen down three spots, Tampa Bay.

606
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 3: Okay, I think they're a quality team. They're not at

607
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: their best rate the second, but they're a quality team. Yeah,

608
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 3: did some good things this year.

609
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 2: Both starting defensive tackles out last week, and there are

610
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: two of their better players did not help at all

611
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 2: at fourteen down seven spots, never to return to the

612
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 2: top ten. The Los Angeles Chargers.

613
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna stink like a stone too. I don't

614
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 3: think they're better in Arizona or Atlanta. No, uh, they're

615
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 3: not better than the Cowboys. No.

616
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 2: At thirteen holding steady the Jets.

617
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that, might even have there being number

618
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 3: one of anyone we've talked about.

619
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: At twelve down ten spots, a lot of movement this week.

620
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,879
Speaker 3: San Francisco not in a good place. I also think

621
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 3: this is probably about as low as though not as

622
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: low as they can fall. Yeah, they're still going to

623
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 3: be a good team. At eleven up eight spots, Seattle,

624
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 3: I'm fine with that.

625
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: It's a conversation that we had yesterday.

626
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 3: The unbeatens of three Steelers Seattle huld be like Seattle's

627
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 3: last because they're they haven't eaten anybody.

628
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

629
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 3: At ten down two spots, New Orleans, I would probably

630
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 3: have the Saints over Seahawks. Yeah. Probably is San Francisco

631
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: favored in New Orleans though right now? Probably on a

632
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 3: neutral field, Oh yeah, yeah, they'd be favored. Yeah, trying

633
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 3: to get the night.

634
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 2: My problem with when when they talk about would this

635
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 2: team be favored or that team be favored. You're trying

636
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: to get money on both sides of it.

637
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 3: Of course they'd be favorit. Vegas is going to try

638
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 3: to play to the to you know. Yeah, that was

639
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 3: about the Niners right at nine up, five spots the Steelers.

640
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: I'd probably have them higher. I probably would too. I

641
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 3: can understand the Ravens being ahead of them in the division.

642
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: I can understand it. But I bet i'd have them

643
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 3: a couple spots. I don't agree with it right now.

644
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: I'm kind of torn on that.

645
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 2: I just know that the last eight times that they've

646
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 2: played head to head, yeah, the Steelers have won seven

647
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 2: of them, right, right, the Steelers of Lamar Jackson kryptonite.

648
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 3: I know. I know that right now. The Ravens are

649
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 3: not going.

650
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: To sweep the Steelers this year, right, But there's a

651
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: much better Yeah, there's a much better chance that happens

652
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: the other way around. Now, I wouldn't bet. I wouldn't

653
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: bet on that either. I would bet on a split.

654
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: But I just know that since the calendar turned to

655
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, the Ravens are beating the Steelers once once.

656
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 3: I do think they're figuring things out, figuring out Mark Andrews.

657
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 3: But I think they're in a lot better spot than

658
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 3: they were the past. Defense is still the worst in

659
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: the league. Yeah, that's that's the issue. Obviously. Run defense

660
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 3: is really I mean, they've strengths and big weaknesses. Yeah.

661
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 3: At eight up a spot is Baltimore. Yeah, because we

662
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 3: was talking about them. At seven up three spots is

663
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 3: Green Bay. Yeah. I mean they're winning without the quarterback

664
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 3: and now they get them back, maybe even higher. At

665
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 3: six down three spots is Houston. I'm not going to

666
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 3: kill him for that loss. They get a day, he

667
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 3: got smashed. It was a bad day in a really

668
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 3: rough environment. I think they're still going to be a contender.

669
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean they get Jacksonville this week. They're going

670
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 2: to take their first Jacksonville. At five up a spot, Philadelphia,

671
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 2: Houston or Philadelphia.

672
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 3: I think I'd take the Steelers and Ravens and Houston

673
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 3: over Philadelphia. Yeah. I don't think we fell on the

674
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 3: way with them, especially with two receivers hurt. Yeah, defense

675
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 3: isn't great. Four up spot is destroyed. Is not quite

676
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 3: where it's been, is not.

677
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: No, you're right, speaking of which rag now is heard.

678
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: I saw that yeah. Yeah, they're up a spot to

679
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: four the Detroit Lions.

680
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: I got no problems with that. At three up twelve spots,

681
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 3: I say, I know two teams ahead of them. Who else?

682
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 3: The Vikings?

683
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 2: Really, you're gonna bump the Vikings up twelve spots. The

684
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: Steelers beat a team just because they beat this the

685
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers, who and the Tactions, we're all beaten up? Yeah,

686
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: the Steelers just beat your number seven team. Yeah, and

687
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: they move up five spots, twelve spots, and I get

688
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: the Hey, the Vikings are playing well, they're really they're

689
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 2: not better than the Lions.

690
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 3: I would say there'd be third in that division for me. Yeah,

691
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: still right for me, and Detroit are still ahead of them. Yeah,

692
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 3: I agree with that. Okay, Buffalo in case are the

693
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: top two. Yeah, everyone, the Plant's going to have Kansas City.

694
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 3: But I think Buffalo is playing But.

695
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 2: I think Buffalo is playing better right now with you.

696
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 3: And they're one of the teams that can go head

697
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 3: to head quarterback WI. Yeah, has been very impressive.

698
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 2: Buffalo's up two spots to the two in Kansas City

699
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 2: is one Kansas City And I understand, as I mentioned yesterday,

700
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: when you're the defending champions and short two time defending champions.

701
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 2: At that you got, you gotta target on you all

702
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: the time, all the time. When you walk to the

703
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 2: grocery store, you gotta target on you.

704
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 3: But they were very close to losing the Falcon game.

705
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 3: They were very close to losing the Raven game. I

706
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 3: don't think they're super sharp right now. Holmes is playing

707
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 3: the worst foot ball of his life, which is still

708
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 3: good but not. According to Chris collins Worth, I think

709
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 3: Buffalo's the better team today. I do too.

710
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: I think the Steelers are are are better today as

711
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: we sit here right now than all but maybe six

712
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: or seven of those.

713
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 3: Teams, Steelers or Vikes. Take the Steelers close. I'll take

714
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 3: the Steelers, though, what if they were actually play which

715
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 3: is a different story than where you'd power rank right right?

716
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 3: Where's the game at? Yeah? Yeah, Homefield avtage go a

717
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 3: long way and that one. Yeah, because I bet they'd

718
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: mess with Darnold a fair amount. The Steelers.

719
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: The Steelers have more stars. The Vikings have to generate

720
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: their pressure by just defending, by blitzing like crazy. Say,

721
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: Jefferson carries a lot of weight in the start.

722
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:15,959
Speaker 3: But Jefferson's great. Yeah, but he's gonna get Porter and

723
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 3: it'd get his But that'd be a tough day for Jefferson.

724
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

725
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 3: I think Steelers win that game on the neutral field.

726
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,240
Speaker 3: I do too, and just run, run, run, and they

727
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 3: know Floras really well. Yeah. Interesting, but they shouldn't be

728
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 3: that far apart. They should not know that. That's kind

729
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: of the point. Yeah, green Bay and Allions over the Bikes.

730
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have, I'd have i'd have if I'm power

731
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 2: ranking and I haven't given this any thought. Yes, i'd

732
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 2: have the Chiefs over the Steelers. Yes, i'd have the

733
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: Bills over the Steelers. I wouldn't have the Vikings over

734
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: the Steelers, but.

735
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: If they were neck and that guy, I'm not gonna

736
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: get it.

737
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it shouldn't be that far apart too, I'd have

738
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 2: Detroit over the Steelers.

739
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 3: Yes, the Eagles, I don't think so. I think Eagles

740
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 3: are overrated on here. Yeah, I don't think so. I'm

741
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 3: not a huge Hearts believer.

742
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: Houston, Okay, I'll give Houston the edge over the Steelers.

743
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: The Packers, Okay, I like what they've done. I'm not

744
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 2: putting this. I'm not putting the Ravens over the Steelers

745
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,800
Speaker 2: right now. Not the way that both teams are playing. Ravens,

746
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: Vikes and Steelers. To me, if you shook them up

747
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 2: in a bag and they came out in any order,

748
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 2: I wouldn't.

749
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 3: Fight you on it.

750
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I get it. I mean they're right next to

751
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 2: each other. Yeah, the Vikings should not be that much

752
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 2: higher than either of those teams.

753
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 3: And you've good arguments who got the Ravens. But I

754
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 3: think they're a pretty darn good football team.

755
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not saying that they're not. I mean we're

756
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 2: talking about top ten teams here. I'm not saying they

757
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 2: don't belong in this grouping here. I would just have

758
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: the Steelers ahead of them right now.

759
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 3: So that was everybody that was ahead of the Steelers

760
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 3: we just listed. Yeah, so we've we'd have a Steelers

761
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,759
Speaker 3: like six, six or seven, yeah, somewhere in that range. Yeah,

762
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 3: and they were what nine? Yeah, Okay, So.

763
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 2: I just think they they started so low. I just

764
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 2: don't understand how Minnesota. Well I understand how Minnesota gets

765
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 2: a twelve point jump. Yeah, but I think there were

766
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 2: some teams that he was way too high on, the Chargers.

767
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: Being one of them.

768
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: Who else was he too high on The Browns were

769
00:34:58,600 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 2: another one, and he was too high.

770
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 3: Thought.

771
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 2: I said at the beginning of the year, the Browns

772
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: are going to finish fourth in this division. They might

773
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: win six games this year. Yeah, Cincinnati's d I doesn't

774
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 2: have a win yet.

775
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 3: I was wrong about them, right, but they're still going

776
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,799
Speaker 3: to finish ahead the brown Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah.

777
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 2: But anyways, that's Eric at Holmes Power Ranking conversation. Yeah,

778
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,680

Speaker 2: the league here before we finish up the show.

797
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 3: And there's some.

798
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: Injuries, some major injuries out there right now, starting in Atlanta.

799
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 2: Who placed center Drew Dolman on injured reserve.

800
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 3: He's a good player, he's not a well known name.

801
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 3: We talked about this a lot when we've reviewed the Falcons.

802
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 3: They don't really have any depth on their own line.

803
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 3: They really don't. It's a good five, but then they

804
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of depth.

805
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's that's a big one for them. And

806
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,760
Speaker 2: they're built around their offensive line and that's the center,

807
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: that's the hub of communication.

808
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 3: He's a smart dude from Stanford player. Yeah. Uh.

809
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 2: The Carolina Panthers have placed Adam Thielen on injured reserve.

810
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: That's with a hamstring, so I assume that's a short

811
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: term injured reserve.

812
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 3: But still I thought he's not necessarily for the Steelers,

813
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 3: but I thought he might be a trade candidate for this.

814
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah somebody. Yeah, Deonta is getting all the targets and

815
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 3: get like Mingo and Lagatt and those guys involved.

816
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 2: Uh, you mentioned the Bengals losing Trent Brown. That's been

817
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 2: a that's a torn pateller tendon in his right knee.

818
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 2: He's gonna undergo season ending surgery.

819
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 3: I wonder if that's career ending. It might be thunds

820
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 3: or whatever.

821
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't really work out with the pateel attendon.

822
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 2: Is he going to be four hundred and fifty pounds

823
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: by the time that he's an older guy?

824
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 3: He's had a lot of injury. Yeah, older, he's huge, right.

825
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 2: So now they're going to be forced to start a

826
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 2: Marius Mems, who coming into this had eight career college starts.

827
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and all the talent in the world.

828
00:37:31,360 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: But that was the big thing that turned me off

829
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 2: on him as a prospect for the Steelers. Was he

830
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 2: eight college that he was not going to be a

831
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 2: guy you could plug and play. Well, now they got

832
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 2: to plug and play him. M And they said this

833
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: last night. They brought him in as a six offensive

834
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 2: lineman to get him some his feet wet, and that

835
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 2: was his first.

836
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 3: Play in the NFL. Yeah. Yeah, it was like two

837
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 3: plays later, now you're sorry, you got your feet wet.

838
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 3: You're in.

839
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 2: It was literally like right after they said that boom.

840
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and.

841
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 2: Some of these offensive like Trent Brown that injury three.

842
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 2: He wasn't doing anything crazy on that play. Now, I

843
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 2: think he's just so top heavy. Yeah, he's just too big.

844
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, it's hard to stay on the field

845
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 3: for seventeen games when you're there. And he's been a

846
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 3: guy over the course of his career that's been injured

847
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 3: a lot. You know, he's arrest every Wednesday guy for

848
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 3: the last five years. But now t J. Watts gets

849
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 3: mims twice luck by that Yeah, we'll see that goes.

850
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 2: The Detroit Lions have signed wide receiver Tim Patrick to

851
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 2: their active roster.

852
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know what's going on with their why

853
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,280
Speaker 3: the need is to do that. He's not a bad players.

854
00:38:35,320 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody tried to sign him. Maybe maybe the Carolina

855
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 2: Panthers said, hey, we're want to sign him, and they

856
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 2: said we're not going to let that happen. They did

857
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 2: have two guys go on injured reserve that opened was

858
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 2: why they had the spot opened up. Marcus Stavenport oh right,

859
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 2: and Derek Barnes.

860
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 3: Okay, so you guys, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's not

861
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 3: a small deal.

862
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 2: Defensive lineman and a linebacker off of that defense that

863
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 2: you don't like to see that for the Colts, no

864
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 2: big moves here, but they placed a quarterback, Jason Bean

865
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 2: on the practice squad injury list. They signed defensive end

866
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: Derrek Rivers to the practice squad and defensive tackle Josiah

867
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 2: Bronson to the practice squad. So they're going after big

868
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 2: guys because they know they can't stop the run.

869
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 3: I imagine.

870
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they released cornerback Kelvin Joseph from the practice.

871
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 3: Squad like new d line injuries. Now they're just looking

872
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 3: for un stuff. Yeah. Uh.

873
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 2: Coming out of that game last night for Jacksonville, Gabe

874
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 2: Davis considered day to day with a shoulder injury.

875
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 3: Okay, he hasn't done a whole lot there, but.

876
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 2: Tight end Evan Ingram status for Week fours in question

877
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 2: due to his hamstring injury. Given the Jaguars enter this

878
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:52,720
Speaker 2: on a short weeklayday.

879
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 3: Night played Monday night, right right tackle Anton Harrison is

880
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:58,879
Speaker 3: considered day to day again per Doug Peterson, and then

881
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 3: linebacker Foyer Lucon with a foot injuries considered weak to

882
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 3: whisk week to week, which is never good. It means

883
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 3: he's not playing this week. I mean I think he

884
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 3: was rolled out pretty quickly last year when he got hurt. Yea.

885
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 2: So they came out of that. Not only did they

886
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 2: lose that game badly, they got banged up.

887
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 3: Their secondary is all banged up. The corner of Campbell's

888
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 3: out in trouble.

889
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 2: Really a lolo consa second level guy that's all over

890
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 2: the field.

891
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's a good player. As you mentioned.

892
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 2: Uh, the Kansas City Chiefs, they waived Keyonta Ingram and

893
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 2: activated or brought up Kareem Hunt off the practice squad.

894
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 3: Interesting though, because he doesn't play special team at all. Right,

895
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 3: so we'll see. I don't think shattering.

896
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 2: The Raiders have played safety Marcus Epps on injured reserve.

897
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,399
Speaker 2: They signed cornerback Sam Webb did the active roster okay,

898
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 2: the starter, Yeah, yeah, okay. A couple moves by the Chargers.

899
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 2: They signed wide receiver Jalen Rager to the practice squad. Well,

900
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 2: he's getting well traveled now at this point. And linebacker

901
00:40:59,040 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 2: Blake Lynch.

902
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 3: Right.

903
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 2: The Dolphins, as you mentioned, it could be a snow

904
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,880
Speaker 2: puntley this week for them at quarterback because Skyler Thompson

905
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: considered day to day at the rib injury. According to

906
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel. The next forty eight hours will determine his

907
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:14,400
Speaker 2: availability for Week four.

908
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 3: So does that imply Skyler Thompson's the starter?

909
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 2: Kind of, does I think? I mean, he's only been

910
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: there for two weeks, so he doesn't fit the system

911
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 2: at all at all?

912
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 3: Right, not at all? Quick processor, yeah right, yeah, surprise

913
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 3: surprise to Ron Armstead in concussion protocol. Yeah, I mean

914
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: the way that they built their offensive line makes no

915
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 3: sense to me at.

916
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 2: All, as his cornerback Kendall Fuller, So they came out

917
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 2: it with two guys in concussion protocol. That'll be something

918
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 2: worth keeping an eye on. Really bad shape. This is

919
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: a big one. New Orleans Saints center Eric McCoy groin injury.

920
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 2: It's required, it's going to require surgery. He'll be out

921
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: six to eight weeks.

922
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he was missed badly. He's the leader of

923
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 3: a suspect offensive line. Early in this season.

924
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: He had been the number, at least, according to Pro

925
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,280
Speaker 2: Football Focus, the number one center in the league early

926
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 2: in the.

927
00:42:07,200 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 3: Player. Yeah, the Saints are moving the ball at crazy

928
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 3: yeah yeah, yeah, but yeah, that's a huge loss for.

929
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 2: The Giants, who of course play on Thursday. Night they

930
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,800
Speaker 2: had to walk through today. Darius Slayton, with the thumb injury,

931
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 2: was limited. Dexter Lawrence with a foot was limited. Dorri

932
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 2: Jackson with a calf did not participate. Cornerback Andrew Phillips

933
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 2: with a calf did not participate.

934
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:30,240
Speaker 3: Lawrence. Yeah, but two cornerback.

935
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: I mean, but Phillips might have been the replacement for

936
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 2: Jackson if he can't go.

937
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 3: I liked him coming out of school. He's a rookie,

938
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 3: is Yeah, So we'll see how that goes. For the Eagles.

939
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 2: Wide receiver Britain Kobe has been placed on injured reserve.

940
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 3: He was the guy that kept catching all the passes.

941
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 2: Like if you're watching that game for fantasy purposes, like,

942
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 2: who the hell is this guy?

943
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 3: Right? They kind of need him. I mean that's their

944
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 3: third It was a major He had like six, six

945
00:42:58,160 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 3: or seven catches in that game. Yeah, yeah, I mean

946
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 3: got it went crazy.

947
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, So we'll see how that goes. I mentioned the

948
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 2: Steelers made some roster moves today. They signed offensive tackle

949
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 2: Calvin Anderson to their active roster and James Pierre was

950
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 2: brought up to their active roster as well. I wonder

951
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 2: if somebody tried to try to put a playman on him.

952
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 2: The Trice injury does.

953
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 3: Open up that spot for you.

954
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 2: Trice went on IR, right, Yeah, Corey Trice went to IR.

955
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 3: I don't know anything about the tackle.

956
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 2: He's been around for a while. He started I think

957
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:35,240
Speaker 2: fourteen or fifteen games in the league, so they needed.

958
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 3: I mean swing tackle something they need. Yeah.

959
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 2: A Cook will be eligible to come off of IR

960
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 2: next week, next week after this game, so maybe this

961
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 2: is one week case injury.

962
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 3: I absolutely.

963
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:54,280
Speaker 2: The Seattle Seahawks released safety Marquise Blair and the Tampa

964
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers I believe this is the last thing signed

965
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 2: long snappers at Triner to their active roster. You don't

966
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 2: often have a practice squad long snapper, but apparently they did,

967
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 2: and they placed long snapper Evan Deckers on injured reserve

968
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 2: get hurt.

969
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that makes interesting. I'm shock they have one

970
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 3: on the practice Quod. Yeah.

971
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 2: I don't know why you'd have that, but they did.

972
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: He must maybe they had him in camp and they

973
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 2: thought he was too good to a lot of go elsewhere.

974
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, turned out goat well for them to do not much.

975
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 2: If I'm judging from what I've seen from other long snappers.

976
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 3: Not a lot, a lot the backup of that guy, right, you're.

977
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 2: The backup long snapper. Yeah, wow, not anymore, Matt. That's
