Didn't get a joker one year, and you 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.640 can win that Cat Fay conditional weekend and rocks. I 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.640 always think it's better in football. You still get four games. 0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:04.760 Let me get the best four teams in football, the 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.600 ones in the season joining the party. Join the party 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:10.440 with us. Yeah, man, I agree with you, and I 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.480 think that it's also just great because it's one of 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:17.040 only two weekends where we do get those four games 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.600 with no other competition. It's really great to have two 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.520 on Saturday and then two on Sunday. And honestly, Ron 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:25.760 wis looking forward to the weeks late after what was 0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:29.039 for me a mile card weekends, I was not really 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:32.240 feeling yet hashtag mild card. Uh. I was not really 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.800 feeling a lot of the football that that we witnessed 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.160 last week and uh, last weekend you and I were 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:40.440 actually together for the for the Saturday games, I found 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.720 myself up absorbed in the tasting notes on my barrel 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:46.920 stouts more than I did with the open Raiders were 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:50.360 doing with their third Street quarterback end, what Rock Osweiler 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.920 and the anemic us Be running game was pulling off. 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.280 So I'm also we can see a little more fireworks 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.720 coming up in this which I agree with your best 0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:02.440 weekend in sports. I agree with the Sunday games night 0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.240 get a little bit better the Giants and the Packers 0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:07.080 game to the games in the first half, at least, 0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:10.680 I would say the Giants actually played amazing for about 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:14.959 what twenty seven minutes um and then obviously m d 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:20.600 be candidate Aaron Rod got going. He did big last week. 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.079 Uh you know, three hundred sixty samod yards, four touchdowns, 0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:27.960 no interceptions. Let's up, let's let's look into these uh 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:31.119 divisional games. We're gonna give you our game by games breakdown, 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.560 along with some DFF loads a little bit later on. 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.919 We're also, as usual, we're gonna give you our diamonds 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.400 are fool Daisies, our game flow geniuses. We're doing the 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.680 scene long kind of awards. We're gonna look at the 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:43.320 tight end position a little bit later on. But I 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.200 want to start up drops look at some of these 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.120 injuries coming out of wild Card weekend, seeing if any 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.919 of these teams are gonna get affected. Obviously, I want 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.960 to talk about this. Did you say big Ben little 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:56.120 walking boot? After the game they saying they're saying, you know, 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.240 he shed his walking dude, He's obviously gonna be good 0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.800 to go. But here's my question. They were up big 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.640 in that game and taking the old Lady Bell, but 0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:07.880 they left Big Ben in there, and they left him growing. 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:09.760 I think that's a little bit of a risk to 0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:12.800 the media. Franchise quarterback after you've already kind of hold 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.519 the starters are like other levels of wish, kind of 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.760 the white flag that she's gonna park the bus. It 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.680 almost came back to pit him. If you think, what 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.160 do you think about what Tomlin diak there? Yeah, I 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.840 mean I agree with you. I also think though, that 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:29.680 it's everyone knows that Big Ben is tough. Everybody knows 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.480 that Big Ben has been a warrior. He's taken a 0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:34.120 ton of punishment at the quarterback position, and he's another 0:03:34.120 --> 0:03:35.920 one of those guys that doesn't always get all those 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.480 tiki tach calls, but he does kind of have a 0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:41.480 propensity for milk and stuff a little bit. And I 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.120 wonder if it's just maybe him creating a little bit 0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:47.080 of drama adding to his aura, you know, in a 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.520 situation where maybe he wasn't that bad, but if it 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.320 was something that he really you know that the training 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.600 staff was aware of on the sidelines and he said, 0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:56.560 I'm feeling a little bit gimpy, there's no reason at 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.120 all for him to have gone back out there. It 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.600 kind of reminds me of a similar situation, albeit much 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.000 less of a marquee player with time Montgomery and in 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.880 Green Bay coming back in for a goal line series 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:12.280 after missing almost the entire second half, and at that 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.200 point green Bay had the game well in hand, And 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.680 when he was asked about it, he was like, it's 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:18.840 the playoffs, and I understand that, but there's a difference 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.640 between a playoff game, uh, you know, one score game 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:23.480 or a tie game, and a playoff game where your 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.800 team is basically just salting the clock and you can 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.120 use my boy Rakowski to do that sort of stuff. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.600 I didn't think that was that was very smart on 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.680 the green Bay side, particularly after they lost Jordy Nelson, 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.080 which was the big blow earlier in the game. True, 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.200 and they're certainly gonna need time unnumbering this Sunday, the 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.320 Dallas Cowboys actually right now have the number one run 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.760 defriends in all of football, giving up only eighty three 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.480 of the half yards a game, so they clearly need 0:04:48.600 --> 0:04:51.960 any running back they can. Speaking of running backs, Spencer 0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:54.359 where he returns to practice middle of the week, he 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.440 was battling a rib issue. It sounds like he should 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.520 be good to go with the Chief take on the Steelers, 0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:02.440 the one whose ribs aren't okay though it's Jordy Nelson. 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.160 What a shot he took in a weekend where there 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:08.040 are a couple of big time shots. Jordy Nelson got 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.440 a big shot. Uh. They said he probably broke at 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.880 least two ribs. They were concerned at first about internal injuries. 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:17.040 Doesn't look like he's gonna wind up suiting up in 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.320 this game. That could mean more for Randall Cop, more 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.720 for Davante Adams, even more for the tight end jaredy Cook, 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:25.080 What do you think? What do you think it's the 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.679 big beneficiary of Jordy Nelson's likely missing this divisional round 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.400 game Rocks. I think it's got to be the Dallas 0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:36.600 second there. Uh fair enough, they've That's one less thing 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.680 to worry about when Aaron Rodgers is slinging it like 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.840 this though he's basically been running the offense as a 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.719 next man up. You saw it with Randall cob out, 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.960 But Jordy Nelson is a lot more important to this 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:51.360 offense than Randall cob I really like Giradimo as a 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:54.480 potential plug in play. Although he sud he got cop 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.320 for that marriage of one this weekend, he did. I 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.280 think that was earlier in the season. Green Bay has 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.279 been aware of that, and uh, you know, I don't 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.719 think that's gonna really affect anything. Right now. The NFL 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:08.279 disciplinary process will play itself out. I do think though 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.360 that uh, you know, it's gonna be interesting that you're 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.320 gonna see a lot of people in dfs this week 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:15.880 chasing the points with Randall Cobb. I think, uh, it's 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.600 a little more Davante Adam's week. You know. I think 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.039 he's a great, much better chance for a touchdown. And 0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:23.240 I also do think I love the Jared Cook play. 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.160 He's kind of been the straw that stirs the drink 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.160 in that Green Bay offense down the stretch. I think 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.960 he's gonna see some more looks Jared Cook a k a. 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.120 Reggie Jackson. According to Rocks, Jared Cook at fifty four 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:37.440 un fans who well will talk about him a little 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.440 bit later on as we go game by game. Couple 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.280 more injuries in real quick that will affect playoff teams 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:44.560 that I want to talk about. Rocks. We have been 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:48.800 on this guy all season long. Unfortunately, though the Derek 0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.280 is Green still in the concussion protocol. He was practicing 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.720 last week then had a setback. Who hate to see 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:58.120 that with guys who have had multiple concussions in their career, 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.520 doesn't look like they'll be there to be that security 0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:04.040 blanket for Big Ben. The other name I wanna mention, 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.599 and this is a name, don't forget about this guy. 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:09.600 This guy looked special for a couple of weeks, but 0:07:09.720 --> 0:07:13.760 then had a broken shoulder. They are saying that c J. 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:17.920 Pro Sise might get cleared for contact and practice still 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.520 this week. Someone to keep an eye on the Atlanta 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:24.360 Falcons do not cover pass patching backs well. C J 0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.360 Prosise could be a huge weapon for the Seattle Seahawks 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.000 in this game down in Atlanta. But I want to 0:07:30.040 --> 0:07:33.680 ask the Rocks Thomas Rawls probably one people their weeks 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.640 going off for a hundred and sixty one yards and 0:07:35.680 --> 0:07:38.960 a touchdown at value. I had been fading Thomas Rowles, 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:41.120 saying that that run game was a problem because he 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.840 did not look good. He did look very good against 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:47.920 Detroit last week. But if c J. Procise was able 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.000 to come back, do you get him involved or do 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.120 you kind of ride the Rolls train for now? Uh? 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:57.760 You know, I think Seattle is really going to take 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.320 what Atlanta gives him. I also think that it really 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:04.080 gonna be Atlanta's offensive success that dictates this game. I 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.480 would think if process is active they're going to work 0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.920 him in. You know, he's also someone who is a rookie. 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.960 He was injured to start the season. Rawles finally got 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.400 a hot hand that you heard Pete Carol say going 0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:18.520 into that game last week, he wanted Rawls to touch 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:21.440 the ball twenty times. I can't think that that's gonna 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.640 necessarycessarily change too much with the resert with return of 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:26.640 c J process. I will say, though, to your point, 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.040 he does give them another explosive option if he is 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.240 healthy in the middle of the field. That he opens 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.679 up a little bit of stuff maybe for Jimmy Graham. 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.880 Creates a little bit of a confusion there. And really 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:40.080 the Seattle offense was functioning at their best when he 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.720 was healthy for that middle part of the season. One 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.360 other guy I want to shout out coming back from injury. 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:47.640 It's looking like the Chiefs are gonna have justin Houston 0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:51.040 in this That defense is gonna be at goal strength 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.640 in Arrowhead. That's gonna be rock and it's gonna be 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.400 a true test for that Pittsburgh Steeler's offense. And I 0:08:57.440 --> 0:08:59.400 agree with you, Big Ben is gonna be missing. Look 0:08:59.600 --> 0:09:02.160 the dairy screen when they're really gonna need all hands 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:03.800 on deck, and when I think is gonna be a tough, 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.720 tough game, absolutely rocks. And we'll dive into the fourth 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:09.360 divisional matchups a little bit later in our next segment. 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.199 So here at the top with our headlines, I want 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.840 to move on to some coaching news that we have. 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:15.960 You know, we talked about all the different opportunities, the 0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:18.480 candidates and the jobs that we're out there last week 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.240 dead and six, then two of them have gone down. 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:25.080 The Bills have hired Sean McDermott as their new head coach. 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:26.920 And I'm gonna tell you, you you don't get someone who 0:09:26.960 --> 0:09:29.520 has brew up a polar opposite from Rex Ryan and 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.640 this guy, this guy is not gonna bring any flash 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.280 any player. He's gonna, you know, get everyone to just 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:37.360 do their job. He also, in my opinion, is gonna 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.680 be the switching Buffalo Bills to a four three front. 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.440 That should be very very interesting there. The question I 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:47.200 have for Sean McDermott is, what do you like Tyrock 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:51.680 Taylor as your quarterback? Interesting to see Sean McDermott moving 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.840 to the Bills. The other news that came down as 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:59.080 we record this podcast on Wednesday, the Broncos have hired 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:03.840 Miami Dulmins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph as their head coach. 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.040 And I want to get into this one with you 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.120 a little bit, Rock, because I know you're big on 0:10:07.160 --> 0:10:09.920 those quarterbacks out there in Denver. I thought that the 0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:13.680 Broncos were gonna go with an offensive guy as their 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:17.319 head coach. Not talked. Yeah, we talked about Kyle Shanahan. 0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:19.960 We talked about maybe having one of those quarterback whisperers 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:23.160 out there, and then brought up John McDaniels. They instead, 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.400 you sure did for a second go around. Instead they 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:28.640 go defense, And so I questioned this, if you want 0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.400 to know the truth, why do you think why would 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:34.400 they need a defensive guy? They already clearly has the 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.000 defense humming the way they want. It. Does not look 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.480 like Vans Joseph would retain Wade Phillips as he's a 0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.319 d C. Let me some change for an offense for 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.080 a defense that over the last few years has been 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.120 among the best in football. And then on the offensive side, 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:52.240 do you really think it's gonna be Vans Joseph that's developing, 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.439 Whether it be Packs and Lunch or Trevor Sinian, I'm 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.640 hearing both of these guys, whether it be Dermot and 0:10:57.640 --> 0:11:01.560 Buffalo or Joseph in Denver, that they both want like McCoy, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.640 former Chargers head coach at the offensive coordinator. What do 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.320 you think you think the Broncos were right to go 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.160 defense for their new head coach. Well, I think that 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:14.000 man's Joseph is a guy that's been talked up for 0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:16.240 a while. What I will say, though, is I think 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.560 that they've already it's not officially yet, but where there's smoke, 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:22.000 there's fire. It seems like the Broncos have been able 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.360 to nail Mike McCoy to get him on step as 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.160 the OC, and I think if that is what needed 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.320 to happen by bringing in someone as a head coach 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.480 who is willing to say, I know one side of 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.800 the ball. I don't want to be terribly involved in 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:37.920 the offensive side of things. Uh, coming from Gary Kubiak 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:39.959 who obviously was more of an offensive mind, and let 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:43.040 Wade Phillips basically handle the defense. Um, you know, I 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:47.120 wonder what is going to happen though with those young quarterbacks. 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.080 As you said to me, bringing in Mike McCoy is 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:54.200 a strong, strong indicator that the Trevor Simeon error was 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.600 a stop gap error, and they're gonna see what he 0:11:56.679 --> 0:11:58.839 can do with tax to lunch. PC is one of 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:01.480 those guys, as you said, who has a reputation as 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.280 being a guy who get the most out of his quarterbacks. 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:06.360 Paxton Lynch has got all the athletic tools, He's a 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.920 little bit raw. Simeon more of a game manager that 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.559 you're gonna let those defense win those games. Be more 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:14.560 of a running team. With Gary Kubiak out of town, 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:16.480 I think you're gonna see a lot more balanced and 0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:18.680 I wouldn't be surprised if he got those perimeter wide 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:21.720 receivers more involved than they were this year. Okay, so 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.319 you think this boom is a boom for maybe guys 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:26.800 like DT and Manny Sanders on the outside. We'll see 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.880 what Mike McCoy can do with those young quarterbacks down 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:35.040 there in Denver. Mike McCoy is not in San Diego anymore. 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:40.160 The question remains, will the Chargers be in San Diego? Rocks, 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.560 I know you wanted to talk a little bit of 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.760 relocation from scenes out there on the West Coast, some 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:48.160 news about maybe allowing the Raiders to go into the 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.960 desert and seeing what the Chargers ultimately do. What do 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.640 you got forms rocks? Yeah, the the way that it was, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.240 the way that it was, it was described that the 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.720 headlines I was reading was that the NFL thought that 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:02.360 San Diego was salvage herble. You know, anyone I know 0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:05.160 from San Diego tells me it's basically sunny and seventy one. 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.160 That sounds better than table Yeah, that sounds more than 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.839 salvage visable to me. Man, that seems aspirational in this 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.680 whole New York winter. But it's looking like they think 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.679 that they can make it work for a couple of 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.160 more years. Obviously, there was a lot of talk of 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:22.520 San Diego going up north, joining the l A Rams, 0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:26.640 possibly in that stadium, creating a little competition in New York's. 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:28.880 I guess in the United States, I guess it would 0:13:28.880 --> 0:13:30.680 be the third city if Chicago is trying to play 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.360 that number two games. But it's looking like they're gonna 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.640 stay in San Diego for the time being. However, it 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:39.240 seems like there is a little bit of traction, a 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.560 lot of traction at traction. Dare I say? In this 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:49.160 Oakland Raiders becoming the first professional sports team in Las Vegas. Yep, yep, 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:51.760 that is possible. I will say this that means Rots, 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.640 you do not consider the National Hockey League a professional 0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.040 sports league. Because we are hearing that that that Las 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.480 Vegas hockey team in the NHL. It's going through smart 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:04.280 action next year. They got their name. However, uh, they're 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:05.760 still up on the name. They were gonna be the 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:09.040 Black Knights that got uh that got nicked because of 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:11.679 a college team. Like there will be API in the 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.080 Desert starting next year. I think it will be very 0:14:14.200 --> 0:14:17.320 very interesting though, any kind of football Sundays out there 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:20.400 when the Vegas home team is in play, that will 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:25.440 definitely be very very interesting. Hill Rocks, can we come back. 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:28.520 What we need to do is dive into these divisional matchups. 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:30.600 Do you think, uh, do you think you can go 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.240 four for four picking these games? I think I can. 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.640 All right, let's see because if you know, I don't know, Rocks, 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:37.600 if you're listening to the shot callers, but on shot 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.120 call and you got Speeds verse the kids. So in 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.600 wild card weekend, Speeds went three and none picking the games. 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:46.000 But it wasn't alone. There was holding the five year 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.280 old that also went three and one. Uh, we'll see 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.080 if Speeds can keep his picks ahead of the kids there. 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.520 But when we come back, Rocks and Speeds will drop 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.360 stats over beats. It's the Fantasy Freestyle on the Fantasy 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:09.440 Sports Radio Network. Look look that hello.

Rocks, Uh, 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:55.080 you're ready to head into these divisional games? Man, how 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.560 do you see this first one going? You know you're 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.720 talking about the Georgia Dome week at the Atlanta Falcons 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:06.720 and the Seattle Sea Hawks traveling to Atlanta, going across 0:16:06.920 --> 0:16:09.600 the country to the dirty, dirty, dirty dirty South. Um. 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:11.600 You know, I think this is one of the more 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.000 interesting games this weekend, if not for me, the most 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.120 interesting game, because I really want to see if Seattle 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.840 is able to show up on the road. I don't 0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:23.840 really believe in Atlanta as much as a lot of 0:16:23.840 --> 0:16:26.560 people do. I would love to have seen this game 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.840 if Earl Thomas was healthy. I feel like Seattle probably 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:32.560 feels the same exact way that I do, because this 0:16:32.640 --> 0:16:34.960 is going to be a strength of the Atlanta Falcons 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.720 at downfield passing against something that Seattle, the vaunted legion 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.440 of boom that had a lot of trouble dealing with 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.520 since Earl Thomas has been out for the season. So 0:16:44.680 --> 0:16:46.960 I'm really curious to to see if Matt Ryan is 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:49.160 able to be up to the task, step up in 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:52.560 the playoffs and get it downfield to Julio on the 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.040 other side of the ball. From a passing perspective, I 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:56.920 like Doug Baldwin in this one. I know you've been 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.600 high on Doug Baldwin in this playoffs. He was really 0:16:59.680 --> 0:17:01.760 hamp heard early in the season of these two teams 0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.879 met by Desmond Trufon. Well, guess what, Desmond Trufon is 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:09.240 out for the season. That's not doing Atlanta's secondary any favors. 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.800 And I think if Atlanta's offense is able to turn 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.760 this into a shootout, you could see doug Baldwin pop 0:17:14.800 --> 0:17:17.560 pop off and as such, at seventy nine hundred, he's 0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.600 a pretty attractive target in DFS. On the fan duel 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.760 this week, what do you got going on in this game? Rocks. 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:25.840 You know I've been on Dougie Baldwin for a while. 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:27.919 Teach me. Had to Dougie, teach me, teach me how 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:30.000 to Douggie. He had eleven catches for a hundred and 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.879 four yards and a touchdown in wild Card weekend. Remember 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:34.960 this coming off a year where he finished as wide 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:39.199 receiver eight overall, ninety four grabs, eleven hundred twenty eight yards, 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.080 and seven touchdowns. You talk about how you really like 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:44.879 to see this game, Well, we did see this game before. 0:17:44.920 --> 0:17:49.520 In fact, all four Divisional round matchups are rematches of 0:17:49.680 --> 0:17:53.120 games earlier in the season. Okay, this week in this 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.359 game in Week six Atlanta was in Seattle, and remember 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:59.040 that was a big time game. The Seattle Seahawks won 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.120 that game twenty to twenty four. But you may remember 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:05.080 this game because there was a huge no call on 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.479 a pass interferance deep down the field to Julio Jones 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:10.879 at the very end of the game. A lot of 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.720 people thought that even inspired the conversation of if UH 0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:17.919 pass in afearance should be reviewable? If you remember that 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:21.520 earlier on in the season they played to game back 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:24.520 in Week six and that was in Seattle. This one 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:27.240 is in Atlanta. I think, as you mentioned, Rocks, that 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:30.760 has a huge difference for the Seattle Seahawks to be 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.760 without their twelve men. And here's the other thing you mentioned, 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:38.120 no Earl Thomas. Earl Thomas was patrolling the back end 0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.600 in that game. He will not be this game. Who 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.600 do I think that benefits somebody that you were on 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.560 a little bit earlier on in the season, Rocks. I 0:18:46.600 --> 0:18:50.280 think this benefits Taylor Gabriel. I think that is a 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:54.280 very interesting low money play in this week in DFS, 0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:58.200 Tyler Gabriel for only fifty five years the rationale, I 0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:01.360 think UH Seattle is at a break tendencies in Richard 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:05.439 Sherman may in fact shadow Julio Jones around. You know, 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:09.040 put your best on their best right then otherwise where 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.159 you used to have Earl Thomas in the back. Tyler 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:14.840 Gabriel is their deep threat. He's the guy who can 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:17.720 blow off and go for sixt yards on a bubble 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:19.880 screen war go over the top. I remember you were 0:19:19.880 --> 0:19:22.560 talking about him Rocks with those like next gen stats 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:25.680 about how fast he ran. I could see Maddy Ice 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:29.679 going over the top two Taylor Gabriel in this game. 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:33.160 The other thing I'll tell you about don't look now, 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.959 but this Atlanta defense is not that bad. Okay, This 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:42.840 Atlanta defense is only on fan duel. And I don't 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.199 think that Thomas Rawls is gonna be able to do 0:19:45.240 --> 0:19:47.000 it again with this run game. I think they might 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:50.000 stop them off, stop them up. And don't forget about 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:53.400 second year player out of uh the College National champions, 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:57.480
