But 27 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,639 Speaker 1: look at them and look at everybody around, so happy 28 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,279 Speaker 1: that he is there giving them hugs because the Ravens 29 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: without Lamar Jackson just have not been the same team. 30 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: So the hope is that he will be ready to 31 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: go against the Bears this weekend. But we shall see 32 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: as we get closer to Friday. The fact that he's 33 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,320 Speaker 1: on the practice field two straight days good sign, Ian 34 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: good sign. 35 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 3: Yes, indeed, not a good time for the Washington Commanders. 36 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 3: This is why I was clear in my thought because 37 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: I had to talk soon. I'm talking right now about 38 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: Jayden Daniels officially being ruled. 39 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 4: Out, which I mentioned yesterday, by the way, for the big. 40 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 3: Time Monday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It 41 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 3: is a low grade hamstring strain. Wanted to play, wanted 42 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: to play very badly. In another case, to the doctor saying, 43 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 3: you know what, we are in it. 44 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 5: For the long term. 45 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 4: You are in it for the long term, not this week. 46 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: Marcus Mario to Judy gets this start in a big 47 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: one against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. 48 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 6: It's time for our semi regular update on San Francisco 49 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 6: quarterback Brock Perty's turf too. We're getting closer, General manager 50 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 6: John Lynch said today. Purty is back at practice, but 51 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 6: still on a limited basis. Lynch said this morning, though, 52 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 6: that Purdy is getting closer to her return, even though 53 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 6: he would not put a firm timeline on when that 54 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,640 Speaker 6: return might be. Lynch said, They've gotten a lot of opinions, 55 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 6: but what it is going to come down to is 56 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 6: how does Purdy feel and does he feel like himself 57 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 6: and can he play like himself. We're not quite there yet. 58 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 6: It is going to be another mac Jones start this week, 59 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,679 Speaker 6: but we are getting closer to seeing Brock Purty back 60 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 6: on the field and as far as. 61 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 2: The night's game goes, Aaron Jones senor Yes, he was activated. 62 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: Off injured reserve and is expected to play tonight against 63 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 1: the jar That is not great news for Jordan Mason 64 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: owners such as myself, but we'll talk to Michael f 65 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: Floria about that later in the show. It is good 66 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: news for the Vikings as they now have that two 67 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: headed monster back together in the backfield. Yes, the Super Chargers. 68 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: It's funny. Everybody was clamoring for the powder blue throwbacks. 69 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: Now these are the throwbacks. Everybody time is a flat 70 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: circle when it comes to uniforms. Steve Weisch, you are 71 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: there on the scene at so far. Like I said, 72 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: both of these teams badly in need of a win. 73 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: I made the case on Good Morning Football this morning 74 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: that if the Vikings lose this game, they're done because 75 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: this schedule that they've got the roommate the rest of 76 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: the season is just absolutely brutal. 77 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 5: I know it's not technically a must win game, Steve, I'm. 78 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: Calling it a must win game. 79 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 7: Well, look, they're not technically done, but at three and 80 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 7: three are coming off of a bad loss to Philadelphia. 81 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 7: This is a huge game for them, but also for 82 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 7: the Chargers. They're losers of three and four. But I 83 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 7: want to get to how you got into this segment. 84 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 7: That's Aaron Jones coming back for the Minnesota Vikings. This 85 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 7: is significant. Well, how much of a low he shares 86 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 7: with Jordan Mason will see. But this is an offense 87 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 7: that has not had one hundred yards rushing in each 88 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 7: of their last three games, and they're facing a Chargers 89 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 7: defense that has allowed more than one hundred and forty 90 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 7: yards rushing over the past three So that's going to 91 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 7: be a huge help to Carson Wentz, the quarterback making 92 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 7: his fifth consecutive start, and it could be his last, Mike, 93 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 7: because as we know, JJ McCarthy, the season opening starter, 94 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 7: has been coming back from that high ankle sprain. 95 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 5: He could be up next. 96 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,239 Speaker 7: Went saying this week he's got thinking about his future. 97 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 5: He's only living in the moment. 98 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 7: Also living in the moment for the Chargers is left 99 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 7: tackle Joe Alt. He is expected to play. He's been 100 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 7: out in Week four with a high ankle sprain. That 101 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 7: is a huge pickup to a Chargers offensive line that 102 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 7: has yet to get things going in the run game, 103 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 7: but has also allowed quarterback Justin Herbert to be pressured 104 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 7: one hundred and thirty five times. That's thirty times more 105 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 7: than the next quarterback that being cam Ward to the 106 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 7: Tennessee Titans. It's getting all back will be huge, Getting 107 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 7: Aaron Joe back will be huge, some injured players coming back, 108 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 7: and like you said, Mike, this is a victory that 109 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 7: could tip the scales in either direction for either team. 110 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: The Chargers yeah, getting healthier, still banged up Nahem Hines, 111 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: who hasn't had a touch in an NFL game NFL 112 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: regular season game since December twenty fourth. 113 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 2: Christmas Eve twenty twenty two. 114 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 1: With Hassan Haskins out, could see Nahim Hines touch the 115 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: football for the first time in almost three years, which 116 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: is not as long as it's going to be. Before 117 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: we see you, Steve White, We're going to see you 118 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: later in the program, so I don't go anywhere, Judy. 119 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 6: How about this chart? Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers, Man, 120 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 6: is it good to be a Green Bay Packers fan 121 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 6: when you've got this kind of quarterback succession through their 122 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 6: first three seasons as a starter? Pretty even very good? 123 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 6: Of course, Aaron Rodgers ultimately did win a Super Bowl 124 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 6: in Green Bay. Jordan Love hasn't quite gotten there yet. 125 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 6: They will face each other Packers Steelers is this weekend. 126 00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:59,840 Speaker 6: This is one of the big ones, and let's bring 127 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 6: it in our Stacey DALs and Mark Ross to talk 128 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 6: about this game. But before we do that, we're going 129 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 6: to hear from that before and Aaron Rodgers himself. 130 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 8: He looks like he can still do anything. What's surprising 131 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 8: for such an old man. He's still moving around pretty 132 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 8: good too, so and you've seen it in multiple games. 133 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 8: I mean, the arm strength is still plenty there, you guys. 134 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 8: You especially saw it on the hail Mary. I mean, 135 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 8: I don't know many guys that can throw the ball 136 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,119 Speaker 8: over seventy yards in the air, and I'm not quite 137 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 8: sure how far it went, but it was had to 138 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 8: have been at least seventy yards. 139 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 9: It's still pretty impressive what he can do. 140 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 10: I don't have any animosity toward the organization, obviously. I 141 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 10: wish that, you know, things have been better in our 142 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 10: last year there, but you know, I have a great 143 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 10: relationship with a lot of people still in that organization, 144 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 10: and I don't This is not a revenge game for me. 145 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 10: I'm just excited to see some of those guys and 146 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 10: beyond Sunday night football again. 147 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 6: All right, here's Stacy and Mark. Let's talk about this. Stacey, 148 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 6: you have talked to Aaron Rodgers an awful lot throughout 149 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 6: his career. So is this a revenge game or do 150 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 6: you believe him? Well, he told us. 151 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 2: It's not a revenge game. 152 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 11: But I would beg to differ because I don't know 153 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 11: of a player in the National Football League over the 154 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 11: seventeen years I've covered this thing, and he's played longer. 155 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 2: Than I've covered it. 156 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 11: That has more of a chip residing on his shoulder 157 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 11: than Aaron Rodgers. After he was drafted late by the 158 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 11: Green Bay Packers, he ends up playing there for eighteen seasons, 159 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 11: the starter for fifteen after Brett Farv was an illustrious 160 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 11: quarterback there in Green Bay. And you know, while he 161 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 11: said that the writing was on the wall when the 162 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 11: organization drafted Jordan Love six seasons ago, I believed him. 163 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 6: He knew it, They knew it. 164 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 11: And when he left and his journey, his next the 165 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 11: next part of his career started. It didn't go well 166 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 11: with the New York Jets. It's going really well with 167 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 11: the Pittsburgh Steelers. You heard Mattle Floor saying he can 168 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 11: still sling it and throw at seventy yards. Well, might 169 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 11: I inform you that he's having his best season since 170 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 11: twenty twenty one as a Packer, when he was last 171 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 11: named the most Valuable Player of the NFL, a season 172 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 11: in which he led the NFL in passer rating with 173 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 11: a one to twelve passer rating. Guess what his numbers 174 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 11: right now with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He's got a one 175 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 11: h five rating, two hundred and twelve passyards per game, 176 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 11: fourteen touchdowns, just five interceptions, and he's knocking on the 177 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 11: door of a seventy percent completion rating. And if he's 178 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 11: not calling it a rent revenge game, I'll say this, 179 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 11: it's because Micah Parsons is coming to town. And nobody 180 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 11: has more quarterback pressures. In just six games, He's got 181 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 11: forty one of them. And he was named the NFC 182 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 11: Defensive Player of the Week for good reason. Mark and Judy, 183 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 11: he'll love his mind on Micah Parsons. And this really 184 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 11: this Pittsburgh excuse me, green Bay defense that's not only 185 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 11: stopping the run, but they're getting after quarterbacks. 186 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 12: Yeah, for sure, as Facy, we were in Green Bay 187 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 12: together door in training camp, remember back in the day there. 188 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 12: And I think this is just a great measuring stick 189 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 12: for for both of these teams. Because remember the Packers, 190 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 12: they've got the four wins, they came out the first 191 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 12: game and absolutely destroyed Detroit. Is like, this is going 192 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 12: to be the best team in football. They're heading right 193 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 12: to the super Bowl, and then they've struggled since then. 194 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 12: You know, even though they they're piling up wins. You know, 195 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 12: the last two wins against Cincinnati and Arizona really just 196 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 12: we're sluggish, showing offense and couldn't put both of those 197 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 12: teams away at the bottom of the league. 198 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 5: And even with. 199 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 12: Pittsburgh they've got their four wins and you know, States 200 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 12: you talk about how well Aaron is playing, but you 201 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 12: know that defense has been gashed at a lot of 202 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 12: times and the offense has stalled, you know, outside of 203 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 12: you know, Aaron throwing a DK those big plays that 204 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 12: they have, you know, haven't been super consistent on both 205 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 12: sides of the ball, kind of piecing it together. So 206 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 12: I think for both of these teams, with Green Bay 207 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,439 Speaker 12: is like, okay, are we a legit Super Bowl contender? 208 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 12: And for Pittsburgh, you know, are we the best team? 209 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 12: And that not so great AFC North. You know, that's 210 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 12: the measuring state for them at this point. So a 211 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 12: lot of intrigue, a lot of backstories, of course, but 212 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 12: just football wise, I think this will tell a lot 213 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 12: about both of them. 214 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 6: Judy, Yeah, I am definitely interested to see how both 215 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 6: of these teams come out. Don't forget the Steelers are 216 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 6: coming off that loss to the Bengals when the defense 217 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 6: really did not look so good. So we will see 218 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 6: how they look Stacey Mark, you will both be back 219 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 6: later on in the show. Thank you very much, Ian 220 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 6: fun One. 221 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 3: This weekend fun uniform matchup this weekend Dallas Cowboys Denver Broncos. 222 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: We know what the Cowboys are going to be wearing. 223 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 3: That's what the Broncos are going to be wearing. Some 224 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 3: by the way that I assume they were when Brian 225 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: Baldergan was still playing. I assume right, not saying he's 226 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 3: that old Brian Baldinger. Get in here before we get 227 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,319 Speaker 3: to a little breakdown of this very very prolific and 228 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 3: stunningly awesome Cowboys offense. 229 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 4: You played against those uniforms, yes. 230 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, of course. 231 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 13: I never won a game in Denver and Seven Tribes 232 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 13: when I was playing. I mean, this is a hard 233 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 13: place to play. The noise, altitude, breathing, just it's hard. 234 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 13: It's hard up there, man. So everybody gets tested when 235 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 13: they go to Plaum mile Hoyt and play a game 236 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,239 Speaker 13: when you up there. 237 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 3: All right, So take me through the kind of test 238 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 3: that the Browncers are going to get from this very 239 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 3: prolific Dak Prescott led Cowboys offense. 240 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 9: It's such a good design. 241 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 13: Clayton Adams, the new offense coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer. They've designed 242 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 13: his offense about around rhythm and timing, and it is 243 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 13: and Dak has never flourished better. I don't believe in 244 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 13: and how he's playing in it right now. So I 245 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 13: have a little breakdown here of the game against Washington 246 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 13: a week ago, and you can see it. 247 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 9: You're gonna bring This is a third and one play. 248 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 13: They bring CD across the formation and they're going to 249 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 13: run these double slats with Jake Ferguson right here. But 250 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 13: the key is how bad how fast the ball comes out. 251 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 13: I mean, honestly, Dak is hitting his back foot three 252 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 13: steps hitch and throw and same thing right here. Watch 253 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 13: this just a two step drop, and watch when he's 254 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 13: releasing this ball like he's just trusting George Pickens can 255 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 13: be able to go get it to a perfect throw. 256 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 13: He's got a little bit of room on the sideline. 257 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 13: The legs go dead. He's out there. This is third 258 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 13: and twelve man and a little bit deeper drop. Five 259 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 13: step drop, But hitch and throw right here to Ferguson 260 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 13: where he's going to be with anticipation in front of 261 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 13: the safety right here. 262 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 9: It's a perfect throw for a first down. 263 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 13: And even this third down throw to Pickens when he 264 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 13: goes across the formation, little indicator Latimore's in man coverage 265 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 13: on him right here. Dak's going to have some pressure 266 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 13: in his face free here coming out of He's not deterred. 267 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 13: He releases this ball before Pickens is out of his 268 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 13: break and he gets the first down. And what that 269 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 13: has done into this offense is Javonte Williams. 270 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 9: Is getting favorable you know, run looks. 271 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,479 Speaker 13: The safety's are deep, they're dropping the pass coverage right here. 272 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 9: And he's getting good lanes to run through. 273 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 13: And you can see it just a full scoop from 274 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 13: the right tackle all the way to the left guard 275 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 13: Tyler Smith right here, and he finds the daylight. You know, 276 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 13: he's only five yard away from Jonathan Taylor from leading 277 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 13: this league in rushing, and. 278 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,439 Speaker 9: He's going up against the team that kind of gave 279 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 9: up on him. 280 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 13: So I'm sure he's going to be a little extra 281 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 13: motivating going back to Denver where he spent his first 282 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 13: few years in this league. And so really it's clicking everywhere. 283 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 13: Three of the seven games right now, they've scored more 284 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 13: than forty points. 285 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 9: And I don't believe that Dak has ever. 286 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,280 Speaker 13: Looked more comfortable or more certain about what he's looking 287 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 13: at and where he needs to throw, more accurate about 288 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 13: getting the ball to his receivers. 289 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: The third of three straight home games for the Chiefs, 290 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: there two and zero so far, having beat the Lions 291 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: and the Raiders, looking to make it three and oh 292 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: against the Commanders on Monday night. Here is Patrick Mahomes. 293 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:45,559 Speaker 5: Just having success. 294 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 14: You know, you train so hard to go out there 295 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 14: and have success on every drive and whenever you're to 296 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 14: go able to go out there and do that, man, 297 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 14: it is something that you're happy about. But at the 298 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 14: same time, you know you to continue to get better 299 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 14: and better. And in this league, defense is adust and 300 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 14: they challenge you to be even better. And so we'll 301 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 14: continue to build. You know, I feel like we still 302 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 14: have a long ways to go and we're just kind 303 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 14: of hitting our stride. Let's continue to get better and 304 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 14: better as a season goes on. 305 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: The Patriots, winners of four straight, looking to make it 306 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: five against the Browns at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, a 307 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: one o'clock start. There Here is Mike Vrabel saying you 308 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: can learn from wins and you can learn from losses. 309 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: Sounds like he prefers learning from wins. 310 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 15: I try not to focus on that. I think we 311 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 15: focus on what's going on this week and what corrections 312 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 15: need to be made. And the good thing is is 313 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 15: there's a lot of things that we can improve. There's 314 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 15: so much that we can improve in all three phases 315 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 15: right and still be able to win a football game. 316 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 15: But we have to improve on them and correct them, 317 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 15: you know, or we're going to The unfortunate part is 318 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 15: is you're going to have to learn from losing, and 319 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 15: I don't want to do that. 320 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 2: See I told you. Here is the Ten Bay Buccaneers. 321 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: Rashad White with Bucky Irving down's been leading that backfield. 322 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: Look a lot of people down for the Buccaneers, including 323 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: now Mike Evans for most of the rest of the 324 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: regular season. So they got themselves a division rival in 325 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: the Saints that. 326 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 2: Really doesn't care what the injury report looks like. They're 327 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 2: gonna want to beat them. So Baker Mayfield says, I 328 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 2: don't like that. 329 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 16: Hasn't exactly been clean play from their part when we 330 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 16: play them, It's a physical game. 331 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 5: It is what it is. 332 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 16: You expected division rival, Yeah, not much else say besides 333 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 16: the fact I don't like them. 334 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: Oh the records out when these two teams play, they 335 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: don't like each other. 336 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: Mark Ross coming in. 337 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 1: Baker, by the way, was upgraded today to a full 338 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: participant in practice with that knee injury. Mark, let us 339 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: talk about some of these Mark Key matchups. You got 340 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,120 Speaker 1: a pause there between Mark and Key, so you know 341 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: exactly what we're going for Bill's Panthers starting there. 342 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 5: How about the bill are coming off a two game 343 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 5: losing streak. Is that real? You know? 344 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 12: And then the four wins that they've had are against 345 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 12: four of the worst teams in the league, you know, 346 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 12: the Ravens, the Jets, the Dolphins, in the Saints. So 347 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 12: here comes those Carolina Panthers, you know, who are a 348 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 12: resurgent with four wins. 349 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 5: There by that guy there, Rico. 350 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 12: Daldell, who has averaged one hundred and fifty six yards 351 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 12: the last three games. Chew Hubbard also coming back, and 352 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 12: that Buffalo rush defense is thirty first in the league, 353 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 12: giving up one fifty six. So there's a clear path 354 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 12: for the Panthers to pull off another one keep feeding 355 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 12: that man right there. Gash the defense and don't let 356 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 12: Josh Allen go nuts. 357 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 6: On you all right? Next to mar Key? Matchup forty 358 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 6: nine Ers Texans. What you got there, poor Texans? I 359 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 6: mean you're talking about their defense. It leads the league 360 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 6: in points per game, but their offense just cannot get 361 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 6: anything going. Demico Ryans the head coach. 362 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 12: They are playing his former team where he got the 363 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 12: job as the defensive coordinator. So will this guy CJ. 364 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 12: Stroud finally get unlocked? Will they get on the same page? 365 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 12: You know, I think that Joe Mixon not being a. 366 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 5: Part of that. 367 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 12: They just can't get anything done with the run game there, 368 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 12: and then CJ just has not been sharp, so the 369 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 12: defense will have to dominate again. San Francisco playing with 370 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 12: Mac Jones making finding ways to win got the five wins. 371 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 12: So San Franz finding the way with Mac Jones. No 372 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 12: brock Purty again. But Texans offense, how about Will Anderson 373 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 12: and d'anil hunter at some point? 374 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 5: Please? All right? 375 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: Giants? 376 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 1: Eagles the rematchup that Thursday night game a couple of 377 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: weeks ago that did not go well for the Eagles. 378 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: In that game, they were banged up coming in, Jalen 379 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: Carter didn't play. Then they lost Quinna Mitchell halfway through 380 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 1: the game. So those guys back in action, which should 381 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: help the Eagles. If I'm them, I want to get 382 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: off to a fast start. I don't want to be 383 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 1: playing from behind in this game. Then you start to 384 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: think mark about like, oh my, does this team have 385 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 1: our number or something. 386 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 12: Yeah, And of course the Eagles have been dominating the 387 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 12: Giants over the past what fifteen twenty years, and so 388 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 12: that was shocking to see that happen to them and 389 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 12: get bullied the way they did. Of course, the Jalen 390 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,560 Speaker 12: Carter and the crew not being in there. But you 391 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 12: know Cam's kataboo Jackson Dark. Cam rushed for ninety eight 392 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 12: yards and Dark ran for fifty eight hit time he 393 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 12: throws it on the flip side. You know, Jalen Hurts 394 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,680 Speaker 12: wasn't sharp. We saw how sharp they were last week 395 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 12: against Minnesota. But remember that big shot down the field 396 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 12: to Smitty that he missed which led to all the 397 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 12: talk this last couple of weeks until they got right 398 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 12: last week. So this is all set up for a 399 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 12: revenge game for Philly, which is rare to say. Against 400 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,479 Speaker 12: the Giants. But it's all set up. You know, these 401 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 12: people in philadelphiare ready for this one because they cannot 402 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 12: stand the Giants. 403 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 9: As we know. 404 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: Yep, Eagle's going to get themselves a bye after this game. 405 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: So if you get this win, you're on a two 406 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: game winning streak heading into the by all those bad vibes, 407 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,920 Speaker 1: you push them further off and you get yourself another 408 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: week to reset, look at things, and go back to 409 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 1: what you are comfortable doing. 410 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: Those are your mark key matchups. 411 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: I gotta pause like murder, she wrote, like Pat Summer 412 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: all used to do. Coming up, we're back to Sofi Stadium. 413 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 1: Steve Weisch is standing by to talk more about this 414 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: matchup tonight between the Chargers and the Vikings. 415 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 2: That's next on Answiders. 416 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 5: They're time to think the moment. But they told him 417 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 5: tell me about what. 418 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 6: They look a. 419 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 5: Touchdowns orgos come on the way. 420 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 3: Like a rope strip on my weights or something no, 421 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: I won't slip dedicated and mix. 422 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 9: It for you. 423 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: Go eat. 424 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: Some exceptional player is going to be playing tonight at 425 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,880 Speaker 1: Sofi Stadium. For some teams that have less than exceptional records, 426 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 1: they've got average records. 427 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 2: They got to make a playoff push. And again, this 428 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 2: is just so huge for the. 429 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,200 Speaker 1: Vikings knowing what they have remaining on their schedule, which 430 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: is why when he said, Steve, weisch to so far 431 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: to cover this game. 432 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:15,120 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz starting again for JJ McCarthy. I had said 433 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 2: I think there's good football left. 434 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: In Carson Wentz that he had come on in relief 435 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: for the Rams a couple of years, and I said, see, 436 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: like if he could just play in a game, and 437 00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: he's done it. 438 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 2: He's made a couple of mistakes, but he's done pretty well. 439 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 9: So now's the fifth game. 440 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 2: Now for Carson Wentz. 441 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 5: Steve. 442 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 7: And Mike, it's just those little mistakes because in those 443 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 7: two games that the Vikings have lost, he's five hundred. 444 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 5: As a starter. 445 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 7: He's got two interceptions in each of those games, and 446 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 7: he's thrown for more than three hundred yards in both 447 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 7: of those games. So he's got to clean that up. 448 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 7: That's also been the issue for Justin Herbert and three 449 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 7: of their four losses he's got a total of five interceptions. 450 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 7: But let's go talk to some defensive players about how 451 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 7: they're going to. 452 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 5: Planning on stopping these quarterbacks. 453 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 7: And I spoke to Charger safety Tony Jefferson, and he said, 454 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 7: when they're facing one thing you notice on film and 455 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 7: some of their probably didn't employed today when you see 456 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 7: how teams are defending the Vikings, and of course they're 457 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 7: having over the top help on Justin Jefferson, Nearly every 458 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 7: rowdy has that Jefferson has doubled. So Jordan Addison has 459 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 7: been eating with Carson Wentz eighteen catches over the past 460 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 7: three games. So they're gonna have to pay special attention 461 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 7: also to Jordan Addison because this one said earlier this 462 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 7: week he really trusts Addison in the. 463 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: Way that he's playing. All right, So on the other side. 464 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: Here Justin Herbert, excuse me, almost said Justerson, Justin. 465 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 2: Herbert, get some costine tonight. 466 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: We know what Jim Harball think has been with the Chargers, 467 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,120 Speaker 1: saying what about the team they're playing? 468 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 2: What are the Vikings Brian floores this defense? What are 469 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 2: they saying about facing Herbert? 470 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,919 Speaker 7: Yeah, well, they're coming off of a tough game against 471 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 7: the Philly Alphia Eagles by speosly as rusher Jonathan Grenard, 472 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 7: and he said they have so much respect for the 473 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 7: way Justin Herbert plays the big arm, the strength, the leadership, 474 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 7: and believe it or not, they say they've got to 475 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 7: get him to throw the ball this week. They've got 476 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 7: to deny the run hopefully get up in points they 477 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 7: can get after justin Herbert. As we know, the Charges 478 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 7: offensive line is a lot of Herbert to get hit 479 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 7: in a funduts of times. They're getting Joe All back 480 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 7: at left tackle tonight. Looks like that could help that 481 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 7: offensive line. But Grenard said, if they get Herbert off 482 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 7: the spot, he trust his arm a lot more than 483 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 7: other quarterbacks. 484 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 5: That's why he's willing. 485 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,600 Speaker 7: To maybe put one or two up there that the 486 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 7: defense can get. 487 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,239 Speaker 5: They got to play much stick your coverage, and they 488 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 5: did against the. 489 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 7: Eagles, who have two wide receivers go for one hundred 490 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 7: plus receiving yards last week and beating the Vikings. 491 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: Herbert's cleanest game was the opener against the Chiefs in Brazil. 492 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 2: The Chargers want to get back to that. 493 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously having the protection you talked about, Joe 494 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: All returning, having that offensive line comeback the protecting better 495 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 1: will be the big key to that. 496 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: Steve Wish, thank you very much. 497 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: Looking forward to your continued coverage ahead of this game tonight, 498 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: which JJ McCarthy will not play in. And I know, 499 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: like the timelines that have been thrown out with JJ McCarthy, 500 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 1: I think we've put it this way. 501 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: And Tom pellisera as an adamant about. 502 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: It that the Vikings want JJ McCarthy to be fully 503 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: healthy when he comes back. 504 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell talked. 505 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: Earlier this week, Hey, they put him through a workout, 506 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: he just wasn't there. Maybe if it hadn't been a 507 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:15,439 Speaker 1: short week in Rappaport, he could have potentially returned, which says, okay, 508 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: so likely back the next game, right, I mean, is 509 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: that the. 510 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: Way we're expecting it to go for McCarthy. 511 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 3: First of all, there's gonna be no decision for the 512 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 3: Vikings on who is their starting quarterback until everyone is healthy. 513 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: It does seem like JJ McCarthy is close. You mentioned 514 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 3: that workout it was earlier this week. Wasn't quite there yet. Look, 515 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 3: had it been a great workout, might have maybe started 516 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 3: Thursday today. Who knows. We'll never know had it been Sunday, 517 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 3: we will not know. What we will know is when 518 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 3: everyone is healthy. Now, what I also understand is that 519 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 3: they're going to fully reserve judgment until they see how 520 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 3: everything goes. Like, for instance, one of Carson wentz tows 521 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 3: are four and fifty yards tonight, do you give him 522 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 3: one more start? 523 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 5: It's all on the table. 524 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,120 Speaker 3: Best case scenario for the Vikings absolute best case scenario 525 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 3: is if JJ McCarthy is fully healthy and their starting quarterback. 526 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 3: That would be the good stuff right there. That's what 527 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 3: they want. They want to put him in position to succeed. 528 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 3: And for Kevin O'Connell, who has been maybe the most 529 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 3: outspoken voice on developing quarterbacks, he knows more than maybe 530 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 3: anyone else how to have these guys play and be 531 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 3: successful when they do play. 532 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 4: Mike trust Kevin O'Connell. He is going to put JJ 533 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 4: McCarthy in a good spot to go out and play 534 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 4: and be successful. 535 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: In KOC I trust. 536 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 13: Yeah. 537 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 2: He did a great job with Sam Darnold last year 538 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 2: as a reclamation project. Now doing a great job with 539 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz. 540 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: Well, the key one it's gonna be McCarthy, Like, that's 541 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: the biggest one. 542 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, Vikings for the long term. 543 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: I think this is where I usually thank people, but 544 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: I think I'm throwing it back to you. 545 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 2: Are you taking this now here? The rest of the way. 546 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I got happening. 547 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 3: Go away, go a way. Oh, go for it, go away, 548 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 3: I got it. We're talking Lamar Jackson, who, by the way, 549 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 3: has been at practice the last two days. 550 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 5: Limited. 551 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 3: You could see everyone's pretty excited to have there because 552 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 3: he's Lamar Jackson and it's a long time since he's play. 553 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 3: It's only been three weeks including the bye, but still 554 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 3: a long time, too long for Ravens people. Let's bring 555 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 3: in our good friend Stacy Dale's after we take a 556 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 3: look at what cool. 557 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 4: People are wearing. 558 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 3: I don't know, game day threads. That's what the Ravens are. 559 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 3: They always seem to wear the same stuff. It's cool though, 560 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 3: it's nothing wrong with it, but it's not like the 561 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 3: Broncos old school threads, which are really the best I know. 562 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,199 Speaker 3: Stacey Dale's is all over it. Hi, Stacy, thanks for 563 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 3: hanging out with us. Hi, Lamar Jackson. Let's talk Lamar Jackson. 564 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 3: There's been no official proclamation, but it seems like he 565 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 3: is headed toward getting on the field. How important is 566 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 3: his health for the Ravens. 567 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 11: Well, it's vital for the Baltimore Ravens. I was actually 568 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 11: just on the phone with that guy that you guys 569 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 11: flashed up there, Mark Andrews, their superstar tight end, and 570 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 11: they're pumped that he's back on the practice field this 571 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 11: week in limited capacity, that's what they're calling at this stage. 572 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 11: But listen, I'm traveling there on Sunday for Sunday's contact 573 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 11: and I'm preparing to see him play. I'll tell you 574 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 11: something else. The Chicago Bears are preparing to see him play. 575 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 11: They are steadfast in that preparation. We know that Lamar 576 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 11: Jackson suffered that hamstring injury in the Chiefs game in 577 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,119 Speaker 11: in Week four, so he missed. 578 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 6: The next two. 579 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 11: Then they had the bye week, so they're coming off 580 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 11: the bye week. He had that extra week of recovery 581 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 11: and it's wonderful to see him on the field. As 582 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 11: I discussed with Mark Andrews, just the morale boost alone 583 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 11: with his energy. He is the leader of this franchise, 584 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 11: make no mistake about it. And for the Chicago Bears 585 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 11: as they prepare for him. I spoke with safety Kevin Byerd, 586 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 11: who has been outstanding this season, leading the league, I 587 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 11: believe at this stage with four interceptions, the Bears leading 588 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 11: the league with sixteen takeaways, And think about that They've 589 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 11: had three plus in each of their last four games 590 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 11: in that win streak, the four game win streaking in 591 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,400 Speaker 11: they want to force him lateral. They're expecting the best 592 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 11: version of Lamar Jackson, regardless of the injury. I want 593 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 11: to force him lateral so they can prevent those downhill 594 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 11: runs where he's so dangerous. 595 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 6: But as dangerous. 596 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 11: But as Kevin Byer told me, much like Patrick Mahome, 597 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 11: he has a scramble to throw quarterback and they know 598 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 11: how good that arm is as well. The Bears are 599 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 11: not expecting a labored or injured Lamar Jackson. They're expecting 600 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 11: the two time MVP Lamar Jackson on Sunday. 601 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 5: All right, Well, let's flip this. 602 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 4: Around a little bit. 603 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 3: We've spent a lot of time talking about Ben Johnson, 604 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 3: the quarterback whisper, the great job that he's got to 605 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 3: do with Caleb Williams, and that is all true. The 606 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 3: Bears can run the heck out of the ball, and 607 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 3: it has been a little undercover, but they are That 608 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 3: running game has been surging greatly. How important is it 609 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,160 Speaker 3: for this Ravens defense to somehow figure out of way 610 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 3: to stop the Bears multiple running backs? 611 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 6: Well, it's a focal point. 612 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 11: I was also on the phone with Aloie Gilman, one 613 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 11: of the defensive backs for these Ravens, and the run 614 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 11: game is the focal point, of course, because since the 615 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 11: bye week, over the last two games, that's Commanders, that's 616 00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 11: the New Orleans States. The Bears are averaging. Listen to 617 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 11: this hundred and eighty four rush yards per game, and 618 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 11: the guy that you see on your screen, DeAndre Swift, 619 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 11: has one hundred and sixteen per game since the buye 620 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,399 Speaker 11: and it's really been the job the offensive line has 621 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 11: done up front. Ben Johnson, the head coach, told me 622 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 11: yesterday one of the things he loves to do is 623 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 11: he loves to watch on tape the sideline view of 624 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,879 Speaker 11: the run game or the trench work after every contest, 625 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 11: and what he determines there is how physical the trenches are, 626 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,399 Speaker 11: and that's what he has seen. It's those combo blocks 627 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,199 Speaker 11: up front from the big guys and the ability and 628 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 11: intentionality of the running backs. Manungai included and Roshawn Johnson 629 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 11: included behind Swift to identify those holes and hit him. 630 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 11: That's what the Bears are doing and they're going to 631 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 11: try to continue that course of action on Sunday against 632 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:45,560 Speaker 11: these Ravens who are desperate for a victory. 633 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: Ian time to go inside, get the insiders, then you 634 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 1: go inside again. So it's double inside with Fantasy Live 635 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: Inside the Insiders with Michael f Florio gives you all 636 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: the inside information on the houdahsart, Who to start, who 637 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: to sit in Week eight, not just tonight, but we 638 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: will start with tonight Thursday Night Football. 639 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: Start with the starts. Who is starting? 640 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 17: I think Ladd McConkie is very much so in play tonight. 641 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 17: First of all, fifteen targets last week and twenty four 642 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 17: in his last two games. In the last three weeks, 643 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 17: he leaves the NFL and end zone targets. What stood 644 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 17: out to me last week over seventy percent of his 645 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 17: snaps came from the slot. That was a season high. 646 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 17: The Vikings have struggled against slot receivers this season, and 647 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 17: I think the Eagles kind of found a way to 648 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 17: attack this defense. It's up the middle, it's downfield, up 649 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 17: the seams, and now those are the routes that LADDI 650 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 17: McConkie runs. So I do like Ladd a lot tonight. 651 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,640 Speaker 17: I also like Jordan Addison, who has averaged seventeen fantasy 652 00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 17: points per games since he's returned. He gave you over 653 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 17: one hundred and ten yards and two of his three 654 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 17: games and a touchdown in the other. He's been a 655 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 17: first read on twenty eight percent of the passing play 656 00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 17: since he's come back, and I like that they are 657 00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 17: using him a lot downfield, like you were talking about 658 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 17: it earlier, that Carson Wentz just seems to trust him 659 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 17: and with this is a so so matchup fantasy wise, 660 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 17: but the Chargers score points, so I would not be 661 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 17: surprised if the Vikings are in ketchup mode. 662 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 5: And that is where Jordan. 663 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 17: Addison has been at his best for fantasy purposes this season. 664 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 3: Now we're talking, I'm starting Addison tonight. Let's go furio. 665 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 3: All right on the other side of this thing. Who 666 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 3: am I sitting? Who am I getting out of the 667 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 3: lineup to you're starting Addison? 668 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 17: I would not be starting the guy throwing him the 669 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 17: ball in Carson Wentz because it's just really hasn't been 670 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 17: great for fantasy for Wentz. In fact, in his four starts, 671 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 17: he's topped sixteen fantasy points just one time, and in 672 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 17: his last two games he has one passing touchdown and 673 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 17: two interceptions. 674 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 5: That's not good. 675 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 17: And the Chargers since week two just one top ten 676 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,720 Speaker 17: Fantasy wide receiver performance allowed. Their secondary has been playing 677 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,840 Speaker 17: lights out and then not as much of a must sit, 678 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 17: but still someone I think it's okay to get away 679 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 17: from is TJ Howkinson. He's been we had a lot 680 00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 17: of floor and not really a lot of upside. 681 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 5: We did see last week he got. 682 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 17: A lot of volume when they were in pure ketchup 683 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 17: mode in the second half. Maybe that's why you could 684 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 17: bank on again if you start him. But the Chargers 685 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,480 Speaker 17: are in the bottom ten and fantasy points per game 686 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 17: allowed two tight ends, so again with six teams on 687 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,240 Speaker 17: by not a must sit. But I have Hockinson in 688 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 17: a couple of places, and I have tight ends on 689 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 17: those rosters that I like more like haild Fan and 690 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 17: Junior Kyle Pitts, just to name a couple, all. 691 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 1: Right, Michael F I will be at Lincoln Financial Field 692 00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: on Sunday for the Giants Eagles rematch. Jackson Dart had 693 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: a great game against the Eagles a couple of weeks ago. 694 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: The rushing yards were down against the Broncos, but that's 695 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: sort of what they do, so Where do we stand 696 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: on Jackson Dart right now? 697 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 17: I think Jackson Dart has reached the territory where you 698 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 17: just start him, especially in a week like this with 699 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 17: six teams on by. You mentioned that the Broncos they're 700 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 17: elite at stopping running quarterbacks, but he still went off 701 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 17: for four total touchdowns, one being a rushing touchdown, and 702 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 17: was the QB two on the week against arguably the 703 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,560 Speaker 17: best defense in the league. He's averaged twenty two fantasy 704 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 17: points per game as a starter, which is elite territory, 705 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 17: and it's because of what he does with his legs 706 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,479 Speaker 17: at least fifty rushing yards in three of the four games, 707 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 17: at least one rushing touchdown in three of the four, 708 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 17: and he had this exact matchup two weeks ago he 709 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 17: finished as to QB three. I know you can bank 710 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,280 Speaker 17: on that exact production again, but everything that he's doing 711 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 17: right now points to just play him, especially again with 712 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 17: six teams on buy this week. 713 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,520 Speaker 3: You know, for you, we had our good friend Stacy 714 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 3: Dale's on a minute ago talking about how great the 715 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 3: Bears run game is. Definitely true passing game though, DJ Moore, 716 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:36,680 Speaker 3: what do we think. 717 00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 2: I'm done with? Dj Moore. 718 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 17: It's painful to say I have him on a number 719 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 17: of fantasy teams, but like you need production to be 720 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 17: started in fantasy, and he is one game with double 721 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 17: digit Fantasy points this year. It came in this game 722 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 17: against the Cowboys, which is the best matchup for a 723 00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 17: wide receiver, and it came because of that late game 724 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 17: touchdown that you just saw. And even with that just 725 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 17: twelve fantasy points. He is five targets in every game 726 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 17: but one this year, and in that one game it 727 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 17: was six. And on top of that, three deep targets, 728 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 17: two end zone targets. If you're not getting a lot 729 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,360 Speaker 17: of volume, you need to make up for it with 730 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 17: big plays or touchdowns. 731 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 5: He's not getting the opportunity to. 732 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,600 Speaker 17: Do either of those things. So because of the way 733 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 17: he is being used, even in what is a very 734 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 17: favorable matchup on paper, I don't see how you could 735 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 17: trust DJ Moore. 736 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 2: Now my decision to be done with DJ Moore. You 737 00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 2: can tell he's on my team, by the way. 738 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: A lot easier before AJ Brown, No, my bad, we're good. 739 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 1: Before the AJ Brown has had his hamstring issues, which 740 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: he's not practicing. 741 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 2: So now that makes a lot. We'll talk offline. 742 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,080 Speaker 1: You and I about that, But another guy on my team, 743 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 1: Traveon Henderson. 744 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 2: Don't say my bad. 745 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 1: Don't say my bad, but Traveon Henderson, we talked about it. 746 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 5: Done. 747 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 2: I've been done. Where are you on this one? I'm 748 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 2: waving the white flag. 749 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 17: I'm done, HAREDI my bad to you and to everyone else. 750 00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,040 Speaker 17: I still believe Traveon Henderson is a very talented player 751 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 17: and he's not seeing the field. 752 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 5: He had three snaps in. 753 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,480 Speaker 17: The first half last week against the Titans, which was 754 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 17: a prime matchup, and then you're like, Okay, they're just 755 00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:10,400 Speaker 17: saving him for the second half when things get out 756 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 17: of hand, They'll give their young running back some work. 757 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 5: Nope, it went to Terrell Jennings, who Mike Rabral. 758 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 17: Is celebrating with after the game, calling their new five 759 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 17: minute back. They're not using Trevion and when they do, 760 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 17: they're making him run up the middle, not out wide 761 00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 17: in space, which is where I think he's at his best. 762 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 4: It was where he was at his best in college. 763 00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 5: It's just it's not happening. So I apologize. 764 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,640 Speaker 17: I've waited the white flag on every. 765 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 5: Show this week. 766 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely your fault. Let's go to one that is 767 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:36,279 Speaker 4: not your fault. 768 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 3: Rico Dowd has been one of the best Fantasy stories 769 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 3: of the year. Chuba Harvard now back split and carries. 770 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 3: What is your view on Rico Daudo start or shit? 771 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 3: I think you start Rico. 772 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 17: I think both Panthers running backs are in play this 773 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 17: week because of the matchup and the six teams on by. 774 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,400 Speaker 17: But if you have to pick one, I really like 775 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 17: Rico this week. They did split reps last week, but 776 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 17: Rico had more carries, and he did a whole lot 777 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,680 Speaker 17: more with his opportunities. He turned the nineteen chances he 778 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 17: got into ninety six yards. He is clearly the more 779 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,840 Speaker 17: explosive option of the two, and that is huge this 780 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 17: week because the Bills allow explosive runs to running backs 781 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 17: at the highest rate in the NFL. They allow the 782 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 17: most yards per contact. So yeah, I think Rico and 783 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 17: the Panthers are going to look to establish the run 784 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 17: because of who's on the other side. So I think 785 00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,240 Speaker 17: both are in play, but definitely Rico. 786 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,439 Speaker 2: All right, this is where we get to ask about 787 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 2: our team. 788 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,120 Speaker 1: You've already answered about two of my guys on my team, 789 00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 1: but we get to answer ask you one. 790 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 2: You mentioned six buys. 791 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 1: The only one I really have is Trade McBride though 792 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,719 Speaker 1: on my team, so I avoided by mcgeddon pretty well. 793 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:46,960 Speaker 1: Kate Oughten, Dalton Schultz, Haerrold Fannin, Chigakuon Kuo, any of 794 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,839 Speaker 1: the seven Steelers tight ends, who's standing out Noah fan 795 00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:50,879 Speaker 1: who's standing out the ear? 796 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,719 Speaker 17: I was originally going to say, like Kate Aughten or 797 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 17: Dalton Schultz because Schultz, there's no Nico Collins. It's starting 798 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 17: to look like we got to see what his status 799 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,080 Speaker 17: is before games, and the Bucks are super thin right now. 800 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,120 Speaker 17: But you mentioned Harold's fan of Junior. I think that 801 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,799 Speaker 17: is who I would go with. I think there's just 802 00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,680 Speaker 17: a connection between him and Dylan Gabriel and it is 803 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 17: a favorable matchup. The Patriots are in the top ten 804 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 17: in yards allowed two tight ends, so he also. 805 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:17,560 Speaker 5: Plays as a running back, as a receiver. He does everything. 806 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:18,840 Speaker 4: I like him the most. 807 00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,960 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, that actually helped me too, But that's 808 00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:22,799 Speaker 3: not my question for you. 809 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:24,520 Speaker 4: Here's my question. I got Mike Evans. 810 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 3: Had Mike Evans now he's on ir surgery, broken collar bone, 811 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,360 Speaker 3: give me like a wide receiver three who would maybe 812 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,120 Speaker 3: be available on the waiver wire to fill in if. 813 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 17: Tess Johnson is available. He is one that I like 814 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 17: a lot. He seems to have the trust of Baker Mayfield. 815 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 2: Right now played all the routes had nine targets. 816 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,960 Speaker 17: I also like Romeo Dobbs, who has had eight targets 817 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 17: or more in the last three games.

He's leading the league in rushing 878 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,160 Speaker 12: not only that Bolding and Judy, but by one hundred 879 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,600 Speaker 12: and five yards over the next guy, which is Devonte Williams. 880 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 12: So he's going up against this Titans defense that's twenty 881 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,280 Speaker 12: ninth in the league in rush defense have really been struggling. 882 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,319 Speaker 12: Of course, fire their coach already, so this is just 883 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 12: really I'm looking at a pad the stats game, Marky 884 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:04,320 Speaker 12: Pattistat's game for Jonathan Taylor and that Colts offense. 885 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,719 Speaker 9: Baldy, good job there, Mark. 886 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 13: I'm going to take a look at Sunday night's game 887 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,920 Speaker 13: here with the Green Bay Packers coming to Pittsburgh Steelers, 888 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 13: and will the Steelers do a better job against Micah 889 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 13: Parsons than what we saw from the Arizona Cartins. Carlins 890 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,440 Speaker 13: had a chance at the very end and Michael Parson's 891 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 13: ruined both tackles and just was all over to Kobe Brissett. 892 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,080 Speaker 13: And we know that Aaron Rodgers wants to get rid 893 00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,919 Speaker 13: of the ball fast, right, Mark, But if you give 894 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 13: Michael Parsons those kind of runways to the quarterback, it 895 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,759 Speaker 13: could really swing to balance of power in this game 896 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:35,399 Speaker 13: Sunday night. 897 00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 6: All right, last one for you Market's Bears Ravens.

That throw to Keija 918 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,600 Speaker 13: Bhute was amazing thirty nine yards right on the dime, 919 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,279 Speaker 13: but the number one rated quarterback against Miles Garrett and 920 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,160 Speaker 13: Jim Schwartz's defense, we know that they've been excellent against 921 00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,640 Speaker 13: the run and if they stay that way. I mean 922 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,600 Speaker 13: Miami could not score a touchdown last week two was 923 00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 13: under all kinds of duress. 924 00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,760 Speaker 9: They turned it all over a bunch of times. 925 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 13: Like I want to see what Drake may in this 926 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,480 Speaker 13: new found on Patriots offense is playing very well does 927 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 13: against Swartze and Miles Garrett this weekend. 928 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: I want to know where to find the insiders write 929 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: all this down right, take a screen shot.

I was going to speak slowly 937 00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,040 Speaker 1: so you had more time to write all that down. 938 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 1: Like I said, here are your Pro Football Hall of 939 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,919 Speaker 1: Fame coach candidates for the class of twenty twenty six. Man, 940 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,680 Speaker 1: I was making that case for Tom Coughlin amongst others, 941 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: but Tom Cofflin really Then Bill Belichick shows up. Now, 942 00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,839 Speaker 1: I know that Coughlin beat him twice, but Belichick's got 943 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,160 Speaker 1: all those rings. Judy Batista, please explain because some folks 944 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 1: might say, like, he's only been out a couple of years. 945 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 2: Why is it different for the coaches than the players. 946 00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:58,880 Speaker 6: Yeah, so last year the eligibility rules were changed for 947 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,640 Speaker 6: the coaches, and so you only have to be out 948 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:05,440 Speaker 6: of the NFL one year to be eligible if you're 949 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 6: a coach. It does not address the idea that, like, 950 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 6: you could even come back to the NFL, right, which 951 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,360 Speaker 6: Bill theoretically could do. So Bill's been out of the 952 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 6: NFL more than a year, as it turns out, but 953 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,560 Speaker 6: he only needed to be out a year and he 954 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 6: is eligible. And let's be honest, it is very hard 955 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,920 Speaker 6: to imagine that Bill Belichick is not going into the 956 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 6: Hall of Fame as soon as he can. I would 957 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 6: expect that he will be elected. But I agree with you, 958 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 6: Tom Coughlin belongs in there among others on that list too. 959 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 6: Mike Shanahan, Yeah. 960 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:37,279 Speaker 3: I mean part of the problem though, is like each 961 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 3: time you have, you know, you add a coach to that. 962 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,279 Speaker 3: You know, Belichick's obviously going to get in, and then 963 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,600 Speaker 3: it's like Coplin should get in sure, and Shanahan should 964 00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 3: get in sure, and it's like It's like the receivers, right, 965 00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:48,840 Speaker 3: It's like every year you add a couple of receivers, 966 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:50,440 Speaker 3: who do you not let in? If you're going to 967 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,200 Speaker 3: let those guys in, this is the problem with having 968 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:53,040 Speaker 3: a lot of great coaches. 969 00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,200 Speaker 4: Anyway, Yes, Bill Belichick can get in. Thank you for that. 970 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, explanation, Judy, I was not aware of that, and 971 00:43:57,920 --> 00:43:59,640 Speaker 3: so I talked to you yesterday about this. 972 00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 4: The same the. 973 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,279 Speaker 1: Centennial class allowed a lot of guys to get in. 974 00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,680 Speaker 1: So if you're on that list, don't worry. It's less 975 00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: than one hundred years before the next centennial class will 976 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:09,319 Speaker 1: be in. 977 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 2: Now, get some of these guys in here.
