Speaker 1: up on? Alright? So we got a big show in

7
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: furn of us, Right, we gotta breakdown this Monday night game.

8
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: Get to your top headlines. We're gonna talk about, of course,

9
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: about waiver wire ads. Oh, what to do? What to do?

10
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: If you're an Aryan? Yeah, come on now. But I'm

11
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: a six time Arian foster owner and today I have

12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: to start the un enviable task of trying to replace

13
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: his production somewhat off of the waiver wire. Why, I mean,

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: why is it this way? Why in in in the

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: last three weeks do we have to talk about Jamal

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: chaw Arles an Aryan foster going there. I don't know

17
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: what makes me sad. It does make it's depressing because

18
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: he was bawling man. He was bawling cool. He was

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: a guy that I targeted in almost every league obviously

20
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: because he was falling into the fourth round, and I said,

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,320
Speaker 1: I'll suck it up for four weeks, all right, So yeah,

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: we'll get to um, we'll get to some of your

23
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: top waiver wire targets as well. Um. You know, well

24
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: we'll break down some matchups. Don't you worry about it?

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: So but first let's react to this money night football game.

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: Holy Cal That run by c J two K. That

27
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: was fun. What is the found? He found the Fountain

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: of Youth in Arizona? It seems also found the loophole

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: in the forward progress for I think you guys were

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: texting that. I don't think it was like a forward

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: progress issue. It wasn't like the lineman was impeding his

32
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: forward progress. C J two K was just sitting on

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: him and was like, all right, I'm gonna leave. I

34
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: don't know, but it's it seemed like the play had stopped.

35
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: It seemed like his forward momentum had stopped. But not

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: not when forward progress is stopped. It's when there's like

37
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: four guys like holding him back and it's like the

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: immovable force meets the unstoppable object or whatever the heck

39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: that expression is, and they're just sitting there like like

40
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: writing This was not that the guy they rolled over

41
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: CJ C G two K was sitting. There was no

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: whistle because the refs never saw any part of him

43
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: that would indicate he was down touching the ground, and

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 1: then he left. I don't think I was like, great

45
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: heads up play. I'd love to I'd love for one

46
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: of our Twitter followers to to let me know if

47
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: it was an old college rule. I think it was

48
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: an old college rule where if you sat down on

49
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: top of a defender and the defender was down, you

50
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: thereby but transitive property of being down. Yeah, I guess.

51
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: So there's there's enough murkiness and NFL rules as is.

52
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: No near elbow touched the ground, He's not down. He

53
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: ran well. At least something as simple as a catch

54
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: is easy for us to decide. Of course it's so simple,

55
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: but no, uh, you know, breaking down some of these numbers. Here,

56
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer two seventy five through the air. He had

57
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: two scores. He was extremely efficient, dude, he looked great,

58
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: so good and it's one were one of the fantasy

59
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: owners who waited on a quarterback and took him late.

60
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: Commentual that was the play to make Joe Flacco not

61
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: nearly as efficient fifty two through the year, picking an interception. Um,

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: it was good to see Justin for said, get back

63
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: into the end zone a salvage what was generally a

64
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: not so great Fantasy day, but still ended up with

65
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: nearly ten points. Uh so he had he had over

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,119
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, that's right, my bad, Chris Johnson the star,

67
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Twenty two rush yards picked up

68
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown as well. John Brown looked. I mean John

69
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: Brown has continued to look pretty good. He said, what

70
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: three double digit point games in a row now, and

71
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: he's turning those opportunities, um from flags into actual production,

72
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: which is great to see. Yeah, as as we said

73
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, it's just it was just a

74
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: matter of time before he had his blow up game.

75
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: And he didn't do it all in one game. He

76
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: stretched it out over several. Now, that's right, good to see.

77
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: I know that's even better. Well, I think he's really

78
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: been held by Larry Fitzgerald looking so much younger again issue,

79
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: because I think that was part of the reason he

80
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: had a slow start. Everybody was really focusing on on Brown.

81
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: Now that Larry Fitzgerald is proving that he can be

82
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: the same guy he used to be. Uh, you know,

83
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: defenses can't just key on one receiver. Now, that's that's

84
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: helped out a lot um By the way, Jermaine Gresham

85
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: absolutely worth a look. Uh in deeperly. Oh, I'm sorry

86
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: it's not Evaine Gresham. Please know, Darren Fells goes down

87
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: with injury, Jermaine Gresham steps in, and you didn't think

88
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: he looked at least a little bit explosive. Jermaine that

89
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: that tight end screen they threw to him might have

90
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: been the slowest play in the NFL. And that includes

91
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: the past to the lineman that the Ravens ran to.

92
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: This is when they you know, this is considering the

93
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: raven threw a past to Alignment and three passes to

94
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: Kyle us Chicks. Can anyone in the room actually name

95
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: the last useful tight end to play in Arizona? Well,

96
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: there haven't been a lot of useful fantasy players and ball.

97
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm telling you, man, it was like House

98
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: had a game. Ye know, I was gonna drop rop House,

99
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: but I'm like, he had like one good game. Well,

100
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 1: they don't do much. Arian's offense just doesn't feature the

101
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: tight end. So Larry Fitzgerald came back to earth a

102
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: little bit here. Huh. Three receptions thirty nine yards. I

103
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: think it's just to pick your poison matter for opposing

104
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: defenses and sadly maybe fantasy owners with that Arizona passing attack,

105
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: because now that Michael Floyd's healthy, he's been playing over

106
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: the snaps again and he's kind of touchdown in the

107
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Sure, no doubt about it. You talk

108
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,679
Speaker 1: about them spreading the wealth, No one had over six

109
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: targets and one to three, four, five five players had

110
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: at least four targets. So anywhere between four and six

111
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: targets for five different guys, that is, I mean, that

112
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: is spread in the wealth, my friends. Uh so, it's

113
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: pretty good on the other side of the ball. How

114
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: about Steve Smith Senior continuing to produce. I mean, I

115
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,280
Speaker 1: mean torch Patrick Peterson on one play, Uh he looked great,

116
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: seventy eight yards. No touchdowns for him. But I think

117
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: you take that in that matchup and in that game flow.

118
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: I think if when Steve Smith retires, he puts out

119
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: like a workout or health book, I'm gonna buy it.

120
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: I would buy it. I want whatever he's got. He's

121
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: got like fractures in his back and he's still out

122
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: there making plays. Tour doll just ask. Yeah, I think

123
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: Steve Smith's got something else though too at thirty six

124
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: to be roasting other very good, much younger football player.

125
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: It's craziness. It is craziness what he's doing. But anyways,

126
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 1: eighteen your final score was so interesting that, uh, the

127
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: Ravens made it close late. Was anybody else praying for overtime?

128
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,679
Speaker 1: I was like, I mean another John Brown touchdown place,

129
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: so let's go to overtime. That would be wonderful. Yeah. No,

130
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean they drove all the way down there, Um,

131
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: you know, flat go through a a bad pick in

132
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: the end zone. But you know, I mean at that point,

133
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: what can you do? There was time taking down. He

134
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: basically had to make a play and threw up a

135
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: yolo ball and it got picked. So that's fine. But anyways,

136
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: go on the road, I guess. So eighteen your final score, Um, uh,

137
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, it was a close game in the first half.

138
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: The Cardinals blue blew it open in the third and

139
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: Ravens made it close in the fourth. But but overall,

140
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: pretty good game. And if you had any fantasy players

141
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: in this matchup. You know, everyone names produced do you guys,

142
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: do you guys trust anybody else outside of four setting

143
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: Smith on the Ravens though? No, no, really, no Flacco

144
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: at home with a good matchup. That's about it. It

145
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: was good to see Crockett get seven targets and five

146
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: catches again. He had disappeared when he had that calf injury. Um,

147
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: and I would have been concerned about them rotating Max

148
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: Williams and more. But he's got like knee and ankle injuries.

149
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: So if you're desperate for um tight end help, as

150
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people are, you know, give Crockett a

151
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: look again because he's probably available in the vast majority

152
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: of leagues. Well, I mean, and as you mentioned, Crockett

153
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Gilmore himself is returning to form after dealing with a

154
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: series of injuries himself. So uh no, you're right. Um,

155
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: they like him in the offense, that's for sure. Uh

156
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: he was the uh second highest targeted Baltimore receiver. So

157
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: it was Steve Smith with nine, Crockett Gilmore with seven targets,

158
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: no one else. Oh, I guess Marlon Brown did have

159
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: Kylie check stop it with Kyle use check. Hey man,

160
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: they keep targeting the guy, especially in the red zone.

161
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: The guy sees the ball a lot. Now, I do

162
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 1: like the fact that I'm I'm looking here. He on

163
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: his receptions, he had four receptions for fifteen yards. He

164
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: had the Keenan Allen line and one of them ended

165
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: up being for a touchdown. That's fine, but I love

166
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: the average, right, three point eight average on a reception.

167
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: His longest was eleven too, so his other three went

168
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: for four yards. But that is great, That's great. That's

169
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: it was. It was funny. I love it, um all right,

170
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: So what do we make of Andre Ellington? By the way,

171
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: He's the hammer. He's basically, uh, bench fodder right now.

172
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: And if you need to pick up a running back

173
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: to replace Foster, say Alfred Blue or McFadden or James Starks,

174
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: he can cut them because arians is all in on

175
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: Chris Johnson. He though, I mean absolutely, Chris Johnson. Did

176
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: you watch that fourth quarter? Though? I mean, Andre Ellington

177
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: is the hammer. And if this team can continue to

178
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: get leads, which is not out of the realm of

179
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: possibility considering how they play Andrea, I mean, look, he's

180
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: not He's obviously not going to be the number one guy.

181
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: But he was the guy when they were trying to

182
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: run the clock, when they were trying to kill that

183
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: game off, they kept giving him the football. And when

184
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: they brought they brought Chris Johnson back in late in

185
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: that game, they got stopped quickly. And that's pretty much

186
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: what said up. Baltimore's last opportunity to win Andrea Ellington's

187
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: is their fourth quarter. He's their hammer right now. I

188
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: don't know if I don't well, no, I mean it's

189
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: not but I mean he's not He's not dead yet,

190
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. There's still opportunities. He said eight

191
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 1: carries in his last three games. I mean the opportunities

192
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: are not there, but less he said six carries in

193
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: his left and said six in the last. Chris Johnson's

194
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: the guy. Bruce Arians loves to lean on his veterans.

195
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: It loves it. Uh So this is a team after

196
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: his own heart. Right He's got Chris Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald

197
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: and Carson Palmer. Uh If how is Bruce Arians doing this?

198
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: By the way, he's an awesome coach and man, he's

199
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 1: a smart guy. He's a smart coach. I get it.

200
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: I get it. But if you go back and look

201
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: at you know, the last ten years in the NFL.

202
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: It is amazing what Bruce arians is getting out of

203
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: these old guys. I mean these kind of ferals only

204
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: like thirties. But I mean, you know, he's old, and

205
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: I guess NFL years, uh, comparatively because if he's old, boy,

206
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: we're ancient. Well, I know, I look, I get that.

207
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just saying from a football perspective. Sure, I

208
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 1: mean you look at Carson Palm or Chris Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald,

209
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: guys who are you know, clearly on the back side

210
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: of their careers. I mean he's resurrecting guys like Dwight Freeney,

211
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,839
Speaker 1: who had a sack in that game he's rest. I mean,

212
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: it is amazing what he's been thinking. I think part

213
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: of its guys want to play for him, right, I

214
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,439
Speaker 1: was just Alex guys get us fred my mind. I mean,

215
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, Palm Palmer quarterbacks can play forever. But a

216
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: guy like Chris Johnson is the most surprising one. He

217
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: still has a bullet in his shoulder, He's fifty cent

218
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: up in the joy He's getting shot in the off season.

219
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: Coming to Arizona and Bolling. By the way, Chris Johnson

220
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: is second in the NFL and rushing just like we

221
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: all figured, partying like it's and he's I believe, in

222
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: the top ten in Fantasy points among ring and think

223
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: about it. He didn't even go to training camp. Now,

224
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the most surprising stories for me.

225
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: It is amazing, Chris Johnson. Good for you, bro, fifty

226
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: cent in the joint, in the club, in the club man,

227
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: nine shots, all good, don't worry about it. I'm gonna

228
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 1: come in miss training camp. I'm gonna be a top

229
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: ten back in this league. Don't even worry about it,

230
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: all right, man? Should we hit some news? All right,

231
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: let's hit some news. The camera highlights in the world

232
00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: of sport, freaking breaking news breakings though they continue to

233
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: follow breaking news a news wife, alright, your top headline today?

234
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: Of course it resides in Houston. Unfortunately, Arian Foster blue

235
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: out as Achilles. He's done for the years. Didn't we

236
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: have a problem, oh boy? Uh so, of course you

237
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: could fire up the You're my boy blue sounders all

238
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: over the place. And uh also a very good quote

239
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: from HBO's Hard Knocks as well. Marcus grant, Bang Bang

240
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: Chicken and trimp. But I'm I missed it. I'm sorry, sorry,

241
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: can you get out of your yogurt? Sorry? Sorry? Hit

242
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: the bank bank, he's over, there's surfing the interwebs right now,

243
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: he's on the interweb. I've got a whole media center here.

244
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm setting you up. I whiffed on that man. Alright, alright,

245
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: I didn't even want to. I didn't even want to

246
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: steal your joke. Here you go, bro, But no, Marcus,

247
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: let let me ask you if I can interrupt your

248
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: yogurt for plays. Um, if you got Arian Foster, what

249
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: do you do? I mean, Alfred Blue obviously is the

250
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: next man up in the offense. But chances are you're

251
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: going with your own fantasy running back committee right now.

252
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you're probably playing the waiver wire. You're you're

253
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,839
Speaker 1: you're going to see who else is out there, and

254
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: it is it's going to be a week to week situation.

255
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 1: Because the one thing about Alfred Blue. If Houston keeps

256
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: falling behind, and you know, I don't expect them to

257
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: fall behind forty one to nothing in the first half

258
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: in every single game, but if they are playing from behind,

259
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: which is certainly possible. Then you know he's not the

260
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: kind of guy like Arian Foster where you're gonna leave

261
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: him on the field and keep giving him touches. So

262
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: you have one pretty darn good week. A did absolutely

263
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: everyone's pretty much done well against Atlanta, but they just

264
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: you can't call on him that they were That was

265
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: the only game where they gave him like the lion's

266
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: share of the touches, because that was what it was

267
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: interesting before Foster came back. The first couple of games,

268
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: Houston went true committee where Blue got some looks, Grinds

269
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: got some looks, and Poulk got some looks. That Atlanta game,

270
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: they finally fed Blue and he produced. So I think

271
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: he's the one you go out and get first. But

272
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: like chris Polk's worth look too, I wouldn't I want

273
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: to jump anything on Jonathan chris Polk's the passing down

274
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: back to likely Now keep in mind right when so

275
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: when Foster was out, Uh, Blue is averaging about sixteen

276
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: touches the game, but most of them came in that

277
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: one game, So I think they will go to Alfred Blue.

278
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 1: I also read reports that they are not going to

279
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: sign a running back there. They're not go with three

280
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: guys they have Blue is the best option. But it's

281
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: the same kind of thing as Jamal Charles. I mean,

282
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: you're not going to be able to replace that production

283
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 1: Arian Foster. It's just that good. In fact, if you're

284
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: in a league where McFadden is still out there, um, okay,

285
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: you may want to take Ronnie Hillman is coming off

286
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: by maybe somebody dropped him or he wasn't picked up

287
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: because he wasn't playing. And I mean that's another guy

288
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: that that you can certainly take a look at. But uh,

289
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough, man. You know. I feel bad

290
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: for them is number one because I kicked his butt

291
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: in our Celebrity League. Number two his first three picks

292
00:14:53,160 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: in the draft, Jamal Charles, Jordy Nelson Really wow, sorry,

293
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: miss that hurts. Yeah, yeah, I feel bad for him

294
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: because that. I mean that you don't get worse than that.

295
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: You don't get worse than that from from an injury

296
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: per I know, Alex Gelhar has a name for me

297
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: and has a name for the fantasy masses out there,

298
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: and that name resides in Tennessee. Oh yeah, my boy,

299
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: David cob I was like, where you're going? I was

300
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: like we we already talked about all the Houston running backs.

301
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: James like, don't set me up like this. Well, he

302
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: can't come back week nine, another couple of weeks week nine,

303
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: So I mean he's getting an immediate band aid. No,

304
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: but he's he's somebody to like if you want to

305
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: get ahead of the curve curve and like, you know,

306
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: be ahead of times. Scoop him up now before he

307
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: becomes a hot commodity on the waiveryward because that Tennessee

308
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: backfield is a wastel right now. But you don't believe

309
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: in Antonio Andrews. How dare you believe in him more

310
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: than anybody else? Currently? Tradaine Gresham might actually be faster

311
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: than Antonio. I'd have to go to the tape. How

312
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: dare you so? And it's not it's not a guarantee

313
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: either that Cob comes in and actually produces. But right now,

314
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: like everything's lining up for him to potentially come in

315
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: and be one of those like late season surgeries like

316
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: the Jeremy Hill last year or the c J Anderson

317
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: that takes the lion's share of the touches and really

318
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: helps it spark his offense. All right, So we'll still

319
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: with the running back theme. I didn't want to talk

320
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: about Joseph Randall um and that Dallas backfield. Um, you

321
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: know he's Joseph Randal's got an oblique injury. It's there's

322
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: reports that he may miss quote unquote sometime whatever. That means,

323
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: the same one that he had in the preseason. Right,

324
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: that's not good. Um, So I guess I ask you.

325
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: You know, obviously Darren McFadden looked I mean, he looked great.

326
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: A hundred fifty yards on the ground, uh for Darren McFadden.

327
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: And and what was I saying in the preseason, guys,

328
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: I said in the preseason I thought that Darren McFadden

329
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: was a better fit for this offense. They need a

330
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 1: guy who can grind you four to five yards and

331
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: and every now and again break off of fifteen. I

332
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: still love that he's been the healthiest of all that.

333
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: But that's what when you when you said, James, like

334
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: in the off season, you're like, I think Darren mcfaden

335
00:16:58,280 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: is gonna come around at the end of the season,

336
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: like bro, he's gonna be in the trainer room. No,

337
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: it's because Joseph Randall was getting all the early season work.

338
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying that they were protecting Darren McFadden,

339
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: but I mean, you know, look, Joe Randall was getting

340
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: all the work in the early season, and now it's

341
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: time for for for Darren McFadden to come in, and

342
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 1: in my mind, I think really took over that backfield.

343
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about what Darren mcveah. I also think that.

344
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, the Cowboys are in trouble. I mean,

345
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: they've lost four games in a row. They're not gonna

346
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: keep McFadden on the sidelines if he's the best running back.

347
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: So now because of Ryndold's injury, an opportunity has has

348
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: opened up, and McFadden walked through. The Giants run defense

349
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: is just terrible. So uh, if you do pick up McFadden,

350
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's looking at the Seahawks then in the face.

351
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: It's not like Darren McFadden from his salad days with

352
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders. You're looking at a guy who is

353
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: going to be a matchup based starter, but with Charles

354
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: out and Foster route and Lacey, he may as well

355
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: be out. Um McAdden is gonna end up play in

356
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: a pretty priminent role for a lot of people. As

357
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: long as Randall is out, and if he can keep

358
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: that job and stay healthy, well then maybe he does

359
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: become an asset for fantasy owners. Here we can we

360
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: talk about an emerging pattern here with with Kristin Michael. Um.

361
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: You know, remember a couple of years ago, he was

362
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: the guy, he was gonna be the guy in Seattle,

363
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: he was gonna be the guy to take over from

364
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. They liked Kristin Michael. He's gonna see more touches.

365
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna rest beast mode. And then Robert

366
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: Turbin took over. And now both those guys are out

367
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: of there and Thomas Rawles is the next man up.

368
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: But here, here we have Christin Michael in Dallas where

369
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: he's taking first team reps and he's gonna be the guy,

370
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: and he may be taking over for Joseph Randall and

371
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: running him on the waiver wire. And now Darren McFadden

372
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 1: is you know, according a Twitter a tweet I just saw,

373
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: Jerry Jellens is saying Darren McFadden is going to be

374
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: the starter this week. I think that's mostly just because

375
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: Kristen Michael has the largest and loudest group of truthers

376
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: in football Twitter. So that's why any time there's any

377
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: mention of him, it's like a ground swell, like grassroots

378
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: effort where they're like, whoa Kristin Michael, Now this time

379
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: and this happened. You're right, it's cockle. But he's still

380
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: a very talented back. And but there's something about him

381
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: that keeps him from getting on the field because coaches

382
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: keep saying, you know, they love him in practice leaves.

383
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: Those are all the reports from sources, you know, like sure,

384
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: and he doesn't get on the field. So at least

385
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: so at some point do we start to believe there's

386
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: just something about Kristen Mike. Maybe not a talent thing,

387
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: but there's something about Kristin Michael where we just can't

388
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: Is that a movie? Trust him? Something about Kristin Mike,

389
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: Cameron Diaz, Right, we'll get her in. Um. Yeah. First

390
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: of all, it's it's very clear we can't trust the

391
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: Dallas coaches at all. Christian Michael is getting the first

392
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: team reps and then of course then they say, oh,

393
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: well you know, I don't see a much of a

394
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: change in the back backfield, right, Yeah, then they were

395
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna stick with randall right. Uh no, no, we can't

396
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: trust him at all. Uh They're they're becoming one of

397
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: those coaching staffs. Those coaching staffs. It's very much like

398
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: John Fox up in Chicago. He can't trust anything comes

399
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: out of his mouth. But that's fine, all right, let's

400
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: move on. Let's talk about the Niners. Carlos Side, we

401
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: have to you can hit the button and Carlos Side.

402
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,120
Speaker 1: They asked him about a stress fracture in his foot,

403
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: and he said, well, yeah, kind of, maybe, sort of,

404
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe what does that mean? I don't know.

405
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: I was yesterday and uh, I think maybe on Sunday too.

406
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: I was trying to find out more information about there's nothing.

407
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: There is nothing. I was looking at nothing all the

408
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: like all the newspapers in the Bay Area. I was

409
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: trying to look at other things like scouring Twitter, and

410
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: there is nothing about his foot injury. And it doesn't

411
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: sound good either. And the fact that there's nothing makes

412
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: me think that they're trying to hide it. And sorry,

413
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: I didn't even realize you made buddy hide your kids,

414
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: hid your wife. We got that in the drop too.

415
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: I actually did. Just I was rearranging things. And I

416
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 1: don't have it as a drop right now, but get

417
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: it later. I like it all right. So, um, what

418
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: do we make of the Niners backfield? Um? I look

419
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,959
Speaker 1: their depth chart here, you know it's Carlos Hide, Reggie Bush,

420
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: the Hayne Plane Plane, Jared Hayne. Well that's my question too,

421
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: is like, what what do we do if Carlos Hide

422
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 1: goes down? Because like I don't think they're enamored with

423
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: Mike Davis. Reggie Reggie Bush has been injured. Hayne Plane

424
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: still is learning how to play football. Like Marcus, this

425
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: is your team. What what happens if if Hid you

426
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: just still? I mean, there's nothing, There's nothing of value

427
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: fantasy wise in this back field. I mean it's Carlos

428
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,199
Speaker 1: Hide or it's nothing. Reggie Bush isn't going to do

429
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: enough to really get to provide you anything. He's not

430
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, Jared Hayne with his Hayne is really exciting

431
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 1: to watch on punt returns. He is still learning his

432
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 1: way as a running back in the National football What

433
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: happens if Jared Plane gets twenty carries? It was Jared Plane,

434
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,639
Speaker 1: Jared Plane, Jared Plane. You know he gets twenty carries

435
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: he gets, you know, thirty five yards. I mean, I

436
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: think that's kind of what it is. I don't know that,

437
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, there's just nothing there if there's no Carlos

438
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: Hide and and his value is barely staying afloat as

439
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: if he's not the guy, there's just nobody there. I mean,

440
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: that's what's really concerning. Is his foot injury seems of

441
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: the lingering nature, and the forty Niners offense has been

442
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: bad of the lingering nature. So all right, so if

443
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: you have Carlos side, what do you do? Try and

444
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: trade him one packaging him? I mean, nobody's taking him

445
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: straight up, put him with somebody else about. I love this,

446
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,360
Speaker 1: but I always throw stuff on Digg's name out there,

447
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: straight straight up hid away. I would if I had

448
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: Hide and somebody offered me Digs, I would like leap

449
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 1: through my I would totally take over. I was. I

450
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: was talking to Blair Wash last night, the kick her

451
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: for the Vikings, and uh I talked to him about

452
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: Digs a little bit, and he said, we all saw

453
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: it in camp. The guy's got the biggest hands that

454
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: he's ever seen. He's athletic playmaker. And remember, no one

455
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: is rise that he's doing this. Of course we all are, hey,

456
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs out of nowhere, but the players, uh, they

457
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: saw it coming. He's Cordarol Patterson, but in a good way.

458
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: Don't put in because as let let him go. Let

459
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: him get. All the things that you saw the Vikings

460
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: trying to do with Cordero Patterson's started last year, are

461
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 1: the things are doing with Stefon Diggs. He's just better

462
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: at football. I mean all the you know, remember how

463
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: breathless we were when North Turners like I've put into

464
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: new players already for Corderol Patterson. We got all fired

465
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: up and it didn't work out. I would almost guarantee

466
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: you that he has dusted off that playbook and has

467
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: put Stefon Diggs in that role because they're they're getting

468
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: him the ball in ump team different ways. But he

469
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: can run routes, and he can catch the football, and

470
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: he can make all the plays. Cordero Patterson crossed off

471
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: Cordero Patterson's name with that too of red lipstick. Then yes,

472
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: I mean, so he is he is the He is

473
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: the receiver Innnesota that we've been waiting for. He was

474
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: extremely productive at Maryland. It's why he was on my

475
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: deep sleeper list at the preseason. Um, I really liked

476
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: what I saw from Digs there. I don't know how

477
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: he fell into the fifth round. Maybe some character issues. Well,

478
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: he a lot of his production. Like Harmon and I

479
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: were talking about this too, because his junior tape was great.

480
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: Senior tape wasn't as great, and that's what caused a

481
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: lot of guys to fall, like that time Montgomery to

482
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: um from the Packers. I remember Mike Mayock saying, had

483
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: he been drafted only off of his junior tape, probably

484
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: would have been a first round pick. Same for Diggs,

485
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: he probably would because Ty Montgomery fell to the third

486
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: because he had he struggled in a senior season. So

487
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 1: I think that's why in you know, it's like there's

488
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: an old adage in Hollywood that nobody knows anything. I

489
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: think it's the same when it comes to the draft.

490
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many players, especially at that position, right,

491
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: there's so many players. I mean you look at guys

492
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 1: from Sagnaw Valley State and State and oh you want

493
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,040
Speaker 1: talking about the Truthers. We got to Jeff Dans guys

494
00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, yeah, no, I mean it's true there.

495
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: There's guys every where in Maryland was an absolute disaster.

496
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: Um stefon digs of senior year. So I get a

497
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: little bit of that. Steak is gonna carry on to him.

498
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: But man, he was talented there. But but yeah, no,

499
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: he's um, he's a great player. Um hey guys, just

500
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: a just a quick uh break here on that place.

501
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: We just got an email. Roger Goodell, commissioner, was was

502
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: on Mike and Mike this morning and they talked about

503
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: daily Fantasy with the commissioner. Uh, here's a quote. Whether

504
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: it's gambling or not, it's a decision made by state authorities,

505
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: attorney generals. They've made that determination. We have been very

506
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: careful in this area. We do not allow our team

507
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: nor the leagues to use our trademarks. We do not

508
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: participate in any way from an equity standpoint, either the

509
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: league or a club level, which is different from many

510
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: media companies and other leagues. We do understand our fans

511
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: are interested in playing daily Fantasy. We just want to

512
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: protect our fans and make sure there's proper consumer protection

513
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,879
Speaker 1: in there for them, and we've encouraged that and we

514
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: think it's important that our fans have that protection. This

515
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: is such a slippery slope for the NFL. And I

516
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,239
Speaker 1: know I'm completely going off the tracks here, but this

517
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: is a fantasy podcast, and I think the status of

518
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: daily fantasy right now is a huge, huge topic of conversation,

519
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: especially when you have lawmakers trying to make it, uh

520
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: put it into that gambling sort of category. Uh. And

521
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: there's already states in uh in America where it's it's

522
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: considered illegal. Well, fantasy in general is right, right, So um,

523
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 1: I think that the quotes, it's very interesting. I would

524
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: like to to actually hear this thing like within. I mean,

525
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: I know you read the whole thing, and I'd like

526
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: to hear it in context. Just just the first listen,

527
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 1: I've heard some things that I don't know. Uh, I

528
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, it was it seemed there seemed like

529
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: a lot of classic corporate speak talking around. So I

530
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: kind of like to go back and kind of unpack

531
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: it a little bit more. There are some things in

532
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: there that I'm not so certainly something that you'll see

533
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 1: online all over the place this morning. So some interesting

534
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: stuff because uh, you know, as someone who's been in

535
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,959
Speaker 1: the industry for sixteen years, this this could end up

536
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 1: this could end up being something that really makes an

537
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: impact negatively on the fantasy industry, because right now daily

538
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: fantasy is it's hot, it's on fire. I mean, we're

539
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: all sick of all the commercials, um, but people are

540
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: are really into it now. I don't know, I don't

541
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: know if he's ever gonna go away, but it's picking

542
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,239
Speaker 1: up so much steam in the last year or so.

543
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't know of these commercials you speak of now,

544
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: promo code, chop block. You don't watch much TV, do

545
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 1: you go? So he's got a baby, he's got a baby. Man.

546
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 1: At some point, at some point, all of the uh,

547
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: all of the leaders of the major sports leagues are

548
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: gonna have to come out and make a statement and

549
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: take a standard it. This seems it's a long it's

550
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: a long way from over right now, though sadly so

551
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: buckle up for some litigation, guys, because the flight gates

552
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: back to yea Ray, that's all. That's all fine and dandy,

553
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: but uh, hey, you know what, guys, fantasy has become

554
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: a part of the daily fabric of our country, uh,

555
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: in terms of us as sports fans, and there's gonna

556
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 1: be some interesting Uh, there's gonna be some interesting scenarios.

557
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: Let's put it that way over the next few months

558
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: and potentially years when it comes to Daily Fantasy and uh,

559
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: and whether or not it is or should be legalized

560
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,199
Speaker 1: or not, or well, it's already legalized, but whether or

561
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 1: not lawmakers are gonna try to make it illegal. Alright,

562
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: let's continue with the top headline chat. That was pretty good,

563
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: breaking breaking news. Look at us just breaking news on

564
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 1: the podcast. That's good top headlines. Uh, let's continue on.

565
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: How about big Ben? Uh? Dez question marks as to

566
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: whether or not they're gonna return this upcoming week. Big

567
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: Ben looks like he's on track, looks like he's ready,

568
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: he will be ready to go. Um. A lot of

569
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: reports saying he's gonna be good to go, and that means,

570
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: I mean, just great things for Antonio Brown, marte Is Bryant,

571
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: that entire offense which is really struggled under the helm

572
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: of both Mike Vick and Landry Jones. But no, Big

573
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: Ben is gonna be coming back. I don't know what

574
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: what do we make of Dez Bryant coming back though

575
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: startup we obviously, but is he coming back? Well? I

576
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: love that he wasn't allowed to fly with the team

577
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: because he was like, wasn't gonna be on the active

578
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: roster for their last game. So Daz goes and buys

579
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: his own flight to New York and warms up with

580
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 1: the team. Anyways, See now this is the difference. Does

581
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: Bryant flies commercial and like in this situation, it is

582
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: really an act of like team first, Like I want

583
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: to be here. Ryan Mallet flies commercials, Like what bro

584
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: didn't I read something where Bill O'Brien wanted to cut him.

585
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: I think John McClain tweeted last night that they might

586
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: be like reassessing their stance with Ryan Malleck. He's kind

587
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: of a knucklehead. But yeah, if Dez comes back, start him,

588
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: a big bend comes back, start them. You know. It

589
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: was a great signs. While the offense did struggle and

590
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 1: Landry Jones was not great last week, both Brown and

591
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: Bryant put up over double dudget points think like twelve

592
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: like what thirteen and eleven ish for those guys. So

593
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: oh boy, when Big Band comes back, this offense is

594
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: just ready to shoot out of it. They're playing Cincinnati.

595
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: They gotta be fired up. They gotta win this game

596
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: because Cincinnati is is uh the class of that division.

597
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: They may be the class of the a f C

598
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: behind New England, of course, so Pittsburgh's they got a

599
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: lot riding on this week, a lot right now, Hopefully

600
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: Big Band comes back. But if he does, fire him out,

601
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: it's not the greatest matchup, but get him in. Um.

602
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: All right, So I guess I'm trying to figure out

603
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: how I'm I'm like scouring the news wires trying to

604
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: figure out if des is actually coming back this week.

605
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: I've invested heavily into death. I mean, he was what

606
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: doubtful this past week. I would like the thing he

607
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: is at least questionable heading into this week, which gives

608
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: him a pretty good chance to play. How funny is

609
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: it that Dez Bryant and DeShawn Jackson are going to

610
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: miss exactly same out time. That's pretty funny. That's pretty bad.

611
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: That's that's not good. But we move on. How but um,

612
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: very quick note out of handing place, Philip or said

613
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: fractured his ankle. Uh. Not that he was a fantasy

614
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: relevant player anyways, but he's out six. It was just

615
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,959
Speaker 1: an ugly play, all right. Let's move on. Let's talk

616
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: about waiver wire targets. We got we got a couple

617
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: of running back things to talk about up here, at

618
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: least the Eagles running backs, because I thought that was

619
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: very interesting on how the split went down on Sunday

620
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: night again with DeMarco getting the vast majority of the

621
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 1: touches but Ryan Matthews being the better back so like,

622
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: and then what was interesting was when Chip got asked

623
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: about it after the game, he threw the running backs

624
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: coach under the bus and they asked him about this

625
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: the running back touch. Somebody's like Douce handles the split

626
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: good ones. So then later and this is what's what's

627
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 1: interesting about it all two because later than it came

628
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: out where Chip was like, yeah, well do said Ryan

629
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: had a groin thing or like a hamstring thing that

630
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: he tweaked on one of his runs. So then we

631
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: were like keeping him out just to be safe on that.

632
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: But after he allegedly had his groin injury, was when

633
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: Matthews ripped off that sixty some year in touchdown run. Okay,

634
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,760
Speaker 1: that's interesting. Um. I do gotta say though DeMarco Murray

635
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: has looked a heck of a lot better. Looks he

636
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: looked better, He's looked I've liked the way that he's run. Um,

637
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: I guess recently. I mean, you know, eighteen carries for

638
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: sixty five yards against a very good Carolina defense. It's

639
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: not bad. And it's two previous games you had eighteen

640
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: Fantasy points. There you go, Well, that's that's that's more

641
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: of my question. Then, if you are a Murray owner,

642
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: are you worried though about about this split? And if

643
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: you're Ryan Matthews owner, are you getting giddy waiting for

644
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: him to emery? But we saw this earlier in the year,

645
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: and then they went right back to using Murray. So well,

646
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean keep in mind, I mean, yeah, Murray got

647
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: or excuse me, Ryan Matthews did get more work, but

648
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: but DeMarco still got eighteen carries, right, I know, I know,

649
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: I'm asking the question point, does this split continue this way?

650
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: If Ryan Matthews continues to look like the better Ryan

651
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: Matthews has like thirty less touches and the same amount

652
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: of Fantasy points as DeMarco Murray. I mean, the Eagles

653
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,479
Speaker 1: are three and four, and I know that right now

654
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: in the NFC East, that's good enough to kind of

655
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: keep you in things. But something's got to change, right

656
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: this offense has not been what everybody thought it was

657
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: going to be. They show flashes for a driver or two,

658
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: but they're not putting it together for four quarters. And

659
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: you do wonder, eventually does something change Marcus even even

660
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 1: back to his Oregon days though, I mean you saw

661
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: it close up close and personal. Man, It's like Chip

662
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: Kelly loves to run the rock. Like it's a based offense.

663
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: It's a run based offense. Everyone thinks it's this high

664
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: flying passing a tach it's not. I mean, they make

665
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,719
Speaker 1: big plays out of the passing game based predicated on

666
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: the run um and and I think there's room in

667
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: the offense for two backs to thrive. So I think

668
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: moving forward, is Ryan Matthews an interesting flex play? Absolutely,

669
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: If you're in a twelve team league and you've got

670
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews and you're hitting the bye week Blues, you know,

671
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews is at least a high upside flex play.

672
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: I think, I think for sure in a twelve team

673
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: if not, you know, ten team league, that's I gets

674
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: a little dicey, But I mean I think de Marco

675
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: Murray will continue to learn this and and that's one

676
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,040
Speaker 1: of the biggest things that was impressed upon me talking

677
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: to some former players in the building. DeMarco had to

678
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: learn the offense, and once he did, he's starting to

679
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: look a lot more comfortable. He's running much more north south,

680
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: and I think they're running more plays for him to

681
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: be more north south exactly. That's what it is. It's

682
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: because so much of the offense runs on those stretch

683
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: plays out of the shotgun, and DeMarco great were great

684
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: running back, He's great going when he gets between the tackles.

685
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: He does not have the speed or ladderal agility to

686
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: run those stretch plays which are a lot of the offense.

687
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: So that's that's more why I'm and I've written about

688
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks now I've advocated for people to

689
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: try and trade for Ryan Matthews because I have to

690
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 1: think at some point, especially if the divisions, if it's

691
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: coming down to the division on the line and that thing,

692
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: they're going to go with the more productive player, and

693
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: that's Ryan Matthews. But but like I said, I just wondered,

694
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: given Ship Kelly's offense because he likes to run it

695
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: so often. Yeah, but I do wonder if both guys

696
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 1: can be both will get touches. But right now that

697
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: that equity split is like a seventy or like you

698
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: know as sixty thirty three thing in favor of Murray,

699
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: you're saying if it's more fifty, if that drops down

700
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: to more fifty fifty, that's gonna hurt Murray because he

701
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: needs that volume, whereas Matthews can be even that much

702
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,359
Speaker 1: more successful. All right, there you go, something to keep

703
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: an eye on. No doubt about it. Um. All the

704
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowls guys are like, what about poor Dans Poor

705
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 1: Darren Sprowls caught him. Hey man, he's a great role

706
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: player in NFL. Yeah, no doubt about it. Um. Two

707
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 1: guys that I did want to note very very quickly,

708
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart is starting to look a heck of a

709
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: lot better. I think he's getting healthy. Um And holy cal,

710
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller. I need to get that Gus Johnson on fire.

711
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: Drop just all the time, so all the time, just

712
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: for amarant there for Lamar melon cal little more. Where

713
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: do you have to thirty six first half? Two thirty

714
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: six scrimmage yards in the first And what's amazing is

715
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: that his first four weeks eight and a half points

716
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: nine point two, nine point five, four point six and

717
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: everyone's ready to jump off the train. Uh comes back.

718
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell Metallica Blarin scream in Oklahoma Drill Running nineteen

719
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 1: point eight thirty eight point six. So basically in his

720
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,480
Speaker 1: last game against Houston, he scored more points than he

721
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 1: had in the first four weeks combined. All it took

722
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: was to give him the bleeping ball of him. It Like, seriously,

723
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: if you look at that, he never had more than

724
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: fifteen touches, and I think his most carries were like third,

725
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 1: eleven or third in those first couplet in week one.

726
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: Look what happens when you give your good players the ball.

727
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: It's the same thing with Jonathan Stewart, which is interesting.

728
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: I was just looking at this yesterday. He over the

729
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 1: first like four weeks, only owned like six of the

730
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 1: backfield touches, Like Mike Tilbert was getting more work, and uh,

731
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 1: Fozzy Whittaker and Cameron artists pain the last couple of

732
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 1: weeks that's jumped up to per he of the backfield touches. Well,

733
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,000
Speaker 1: you know what's happened there in Carolina too, is that Fazi.

734
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: They've they've basically said no, no more Fazy Whittaker no more. Uh,

735
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,320
Speaker 1: cameras cameraon artist pain and they're going exclusively with j

736
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: stew and Mike Tilbert, and both guys have a role

737
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: in that offense. Especially, it's almost like it almost it

738
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: feels almost like a triple option team. It really they

739
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: should just run the triple o. That kind of should

740
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 1: They should really be fun. That would be fun though,

741
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: I mean really seeing big old Mike Tilberg just run

742
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: out there. You don't know what's going on. I mean,

743
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: here's your you're a you're a you're a corner and

744
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 1: you've got to make the decision between going after Cam

745
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: Newton or Mike Tilbert. Come on, business decisions all day

746
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: this decisions baby, No, actually it could. Speaking of Mike Tilbert,

747
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: remember when he was dashing into that end zone and

748
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: he took that one big hit and uh, I think

749
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: it's Brian Maxwell who completely whiffed. How do you completely

750
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: with on Mike Tilbert because they're like, you know, I

751
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: don't want to tackle that because he's got blaze and speech.

752
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: Oh boy. But yeah, no, props to them man, because

753
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 1: they have been they've both been playing very well. Obviously,

754
00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller is looking like the real deal. Um. And

755
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: if you're a Lamar Miller owner, you're just I mean,

756
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: you are just hopefully you kept the faith. Hopell you

757
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 1: kept the faith. But I will throw in this this

758
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: cava um. All right. The last two weeks have been

759
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 1: the you know, Titans and Texans. Good point. This week

760
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 1: is the Patriots. So it'll be interesting to see whether

761
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,719
Speaker 1: this new attitude with you know, Van PC principal Campbell continues. Um.

762
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: I mean I hope, so, I hope they continue to

763
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: give him the ball and give him opportunities because that

764
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: that certainly increases his chances. But I do want to

765
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: see what this team does against a really stout run.

766
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: So they take on the NFC East. You look at

767
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,239
Speaker 1: the schedule going ahead for Lamar Miller, you're just I mean,

768
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: you're you're looking your chops man. Uh, New England at

769
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: New England at Buffalo. Uh, two games that could be

770
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: you know, I I would I wouldn't say necessarily say

771
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: temper your expectations, but I mean I think they're fine.

772
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: I mean, is he gonna run rough shot? And probably not,

773
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,399
Speaker 1: but uh, I think he'll still produce there. But then

774
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: after that though Philadelphia Dallas, he's got the Jets mixed in,

775
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: which is not great. But Baltimore Giants and San Diego

776
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: that's good. That's really good. Championship Week he takes on Indianapolis.

777
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 1: Oh boy, like this kind of part. Uh yeah, that's

778
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: pretty good. Man. Um, if you're a Lamar Miller owner,

779
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: this guy's got a real chance uh to finish in

780
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 1: the top five, if not higher. Uh. Man, Yeah, he

781
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: could be. He could be the real deal. All right,

782
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about some waiver wire target, shall we. Let's

783
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 1: do it. We talked about Alfred Blue. Jordan Reid comes

784
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: back from injury and all of a sudden, he's Uh.

785
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 1: Him and Kirkcuzs have always had a little bit of

786
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: of a romance. But he looked great. He's such a

787
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,879
Speaker 1: good player. The problem has always been health. Health. If

788
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: he can ever stay healthy, he's a number one tight end.

789
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: I said that in the preseason because he wasn't even

790
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: being drafted. I said, listen, if he stays healthy, the

791
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: guys good. Uh, he's kind of not stayed healthy. He's

792
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,799
Speaker 1: back now though, so but yeah, he's come back up

793
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: less say one five, one five, Like, go get him.

794
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,919
Speaker 1: He's probably available. I mean, look at what I said

795
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago when he was playing and

796
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: playing well. Is that you can't predict injuries. So as

797
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: long as he he's healthy, as long as he's there,

798
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: have him, plug him in your line with McFadden, right,

799
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean moving forward. As long as these guys are there,

800
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 1: then you know, utilize them. You can't predict when bad

801
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: things are going to happen, so it's hard to you know,

802
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: stay away from a guy based on what might be.

803
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:16,839
Speaker 1: Keep in mind, Washington does have a by this week,

804
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:18,239
Speaker 1: so if you need a tight end for this week,

805
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 1: he's not gonna help you. But if you can just

806
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 1: pick him up and stash him, please do it, right, Yeah,

807
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: go for it. I do. I feel like there's all

808
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:31,280
Speaker 1: these high upside, lower end tight ends that are available

809
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: right now. Ladarius Green is out there, Eric Ebron, who's

810
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: on this list, is out there as well. What what

811
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: do you have? Eight yards in a touch? Yeah, so

812
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: exactly what he had. Yes, he had a good game

813
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: and he and he scored three touchdowns already, I believe

814
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: this year. So he is certainly someone who needs to

815
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: be on waiver wire, off of waiver wires and onto rosters,

816
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: especially at tight end. I agree, you know, especially at

817
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 1: tight end. It's not like there's a whole lot out there.

818
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: I don't I don't mind rolling out Eric E. Brown,

819
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: I don't mend this not at this point a tremendous athlete.

820
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: Golden tape has fallen to the wayside man um and

821
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: and maybe rightfully so. I mean, if you're Matt Stafford,

822
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 1: it's got to be pretty fun thrown out there to

823
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: six six h eric keybron Why not they just fired Lombardi. Uh,

824
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: they're o C. So maybe we see some that's yeah,

825
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: that's gonna be That's gonna be interesting to see how

826
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: that offense changes, if at all, whether they just go

827
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 1: back to Matt Stafford's like sling it slinging it days,

828
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: or if you know, the Jim Bob Cooter comes in

829
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: with some sort of different system. That's not his name

830
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: is actually think it's it's what James Robert Cooter, I

831
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 1: believe cooner like that, like from Hazard on the Jim

832
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:48,680
Speaker 1: Bob cooterably arguably the best name, and that might be

833
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: the best name going. He like he a lot of

834
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: people didn't even know existed, but he made waves on

835
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: the internet a couple of years ago because he was

836
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: like a quality control coach for the Broncos, and they

837
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:58,799
Speaker 1: cut away to him, they like showed him because he

838
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 1: was one of Peyton Manning's boy and then it was

839
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: just they did one of those like lower thirds. It

840
00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: was like quality control Jim Bob Cootter, and the Internet

841
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 1: was like what, this is a real person, this is

842
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 1: a real thing. So it was good to see him

843
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: come back. Congratulations Jim Bob. Hopefully you do well with it.

844
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: Chark Anddrick West had a nice bounce back game. He

845
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,879
Speaker 1: in his debut looked terrible. A lot of people cut ties. Man.

846
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: It was really funny. One week he was the most added.

847
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: The next week he was dropped, which I don't understand.

848
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: It's the short term. I want it now in gratification

849
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: fantasy society that we live in. James, Hey, I like

850
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: it because if you dropped him, I mean I'd be

851
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 1: more than happy to pick him up. But no, Charndrick

852
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: West I thought looked okay. He looked pretty good, and

853
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: he had a Jamal Charles like split of all the

854
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 1: touches in that backfield. He had of the touches and well,

855
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,839
Speaker 1: Andy Reid did sing his praises even after that game

856
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: where he didn't do oh yeah for sure. So and

857
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's coach peak because Reid doesn't really

858
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: have much of anything else in that backfield or in

859
00:42:56,600 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: that offense. But he couldn't. But he couldn't. Gone Davison, dude,

860
00:43:02,360 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: Nil Davis. I don't know what happened between last year

861
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: right now, but I mean, forget about now. It's the same.

862
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,879
Speaker 1: NOI it's the same now, Davis. They just been better

863
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: back to go to. Yeah, moving forward, I don't I mean,

864
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: if you if Charck Andrick is out there, if the

865
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,719
Speaker 1: charm Manders out there, go get him, get he don't

866
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 1: get char a low end RB two just based on

867
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 1: pure volume right now, and because that Kansas City offense

868
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: always funnels through the running back, I agree with Okay,

869
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,399
Speaker 1: you put David Cobb on there. We talked and we'll

870
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: pick up David. We mentioned James Starks briefly. We still

871
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: don't know if Eddie Lacey is gonna come back, Is

872
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,760
Speaker 1: it gonna be split, is it going to James Starks?

873
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: But the fact that he is in the Packers offense

874
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,760
Speaker 1: means he needs to be on a roster because whatever

875
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: back emerges, this is the same time frame last year

876
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: where Lacey started to pick it up. Oh, it is exactly.

877
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: Everything is like falling into the same place. I mean,

878
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: you are playing Denver this week. I know they're not

879
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:55,040
Speaker 1: as great against the run. It's not the best matchup

880
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: in the world. Wouldn't it, wouldn't this just be the

881
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: kind of stupid thing in fantasy football where Eddie Lacey

882
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 1: was out and rips off like a buck forty and

883
00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: two touchdowns against Denver. Of course we're all like, We're

884
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: all like, don't start him. Wait and then he dropped.

885
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,400
Speaker 1: He drops a thirty burger and fantasy on Denver, and

886
00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: we're like, well, we don't know anything, because the fantasy

887
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: gods occasionally like to remind us that we're just a

888
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,839
Speaker 1: bunch of peons make uh, making guesses, and uh, they

889
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: can come down and swing the hammer on us at

890
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,560
Speaker 1: any time. But yeah, get get James Starks, David Cobb

891
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,319
Speaker 1: scooping up early. If you want, you can maybe wait

892
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,840
Speaker 1: till next week, because I mean, quite frankly, the waiver

893
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: wire for running backs right now, it's it's a dark

894
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: place and I feel so bad for you because you

895
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,279
Speaker 1: write this, You write the two dive so NFL dot

896
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: com slash deep dive for deep waiver wire targets for

897
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: those of you in larger league and and I see you.

898
00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: We have cubicles right next to Jill. I see you.

899
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: It's not good, just like hands up in the air,

900
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 1: like what am I supposed to about the best part

901
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: was yesterday after when we finished an article here, we

902
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: sent it out to the team and somebody else back

903
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 1: reads it that you know, copy edits it, and Harmon

904
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: pulled up the article and goes, galha, why the hell

905
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: am I reading about Zack Stacey? And I was because

906
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: it's a dark place, man, um yeah, man, it's uh yeah,

907
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: it's crazy out there. So that's why if guys like Churke,

908
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:15,960
Speaker 1: Kendrick West, James Starks are out there who have a

909
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: super or Darren McFadden, he's owned in a lot of

910
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 1: leagues still, but go scoop him up. There are leagues

911
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: that I'm in, and I'm in some pretty competitive leagues

912
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 1: where he's available. Oh yeah, I know, it goes, it

913
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: goes both ways, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I see

914
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 1: McFadden available a lot more than I'm seeing Hillman available.

915
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him and available very much at all

916
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: league for some reason, and Darren mcfatnen's on the waiver

917
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: for wire. I don't know why get him. I'm not

918
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: going to but no, no, no, no, I I loved

919
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: I would love to get him. I would love to

920
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: get him. Unfortunately, I don't want to exactly, I don't

921
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: have a already. Actually it's a fab budget. I blew

922
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 1: my fab budget money already. Because that sounded like that

923
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: sounded like a dismissive. I'm not going to pick up

924
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: I'm not no, no, no no, I love darn mcfadd

925
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 1: Come on. I mean in the preseason I've been harping

926
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: on this guy's exactly all right. But I did want

927
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: to ask you, Michael Floyd. I'm not high on Michael Floyd. Um,

928
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: I just think the targets are going to be too sporadic.

929
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: But I know the Fantasy Fortress has been pretty high

930
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,959
Speaker 1: on Michael Floyd. Well, we've been reluctantly, reluctantly, but he's

931
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: he's coming back and looking pretty good. Like I mean,

932
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: this is a guy who a lot of people were

933
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 1: high on last year before he was struggled with drops

934
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: and things like that, but he's come back and look

935
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 1: a lot better, and he's he's just getting he's getting

936
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: the snaps and like he said, targets might be hard,

937
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 1: too hard to come by, that error is done. Passing

938
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: offense is prolific right now. So in the right matchup,

939
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:42,359
Speaker 1: I think he needs to be rostered. In a lot

940
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: more leagues. He can definitely be a wide receiver three

941
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: or flex if it's a game that's going to be

942
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: high scoring or they're playing a bad passing offense. In

943
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: a twelve team league where you're it's a three wide

944
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: receiver league, you'd love to have him in there exactly.

945
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: He's got interesting upside, there's no debtuse whereas like farther

946
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:00,880
Speaker 1: down on the waiver where list Marvin Jones is there.

947
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: He's got a good matchup this week, but that's an

948
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: offense more so war I'm worried about targets because of

949
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: how they game plan and the number of weapons they

950
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: have there. The one reason I like Marvin Jones more

951
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: than Michael Floydi with the cow well, I mean clearly Goberts,

952
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: but no uh is because he's there deep shot guy, right,

953
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:22,160
Speaker 1: So like they utilize a J Green everywhere on the field,

954
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: come back slant everywhere. They use him everywhere, but Marvin

955
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: Jones is really their big play dude, right, And you

956
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 1: look at Michael Floyd and he's working that intermediate part

957
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 1: of the field because John Brown is their deep shot guy.

958
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: So I know Floyd got that touchdown, but again it

959
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: was more of an intermediate um type route. So I

960
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess that's the one reason I kind

961
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: of capt Michael Floyd's value because he just works that

962
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: part of the field that it's kind of hard to

963
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,240
Speaker 1: throw too. Quite honestly, he does. He does go deeper

964
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: more than Larry Fitzgerald too, though he was there. He

965
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: was their main deep guy last year John Brown broke out,

966
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,839
Speaker 1: But so he he does have the whole route tree

967
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:01,840
Speaker 1: of lable to him. But yeah, John Brown is the

968
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: main home round here. I mean, you know, Michael Floyd

969
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: went from a couple of years ago we figured he

970
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: was gonna take over as the number one guy. Now

971
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: he's he's the third guy. I know, he's the third

972
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: guy in that office. All right. Um, how about Davonte Adams.

973
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: I love this pickup. I saw him getting scooped up

974
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues, and I think that's very smart. Well,

975
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: if he if his owner got frustrated or dropped him

976
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: because of bye week issues or anything, go pick him up.

977
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: Because that Packers offense has I mean, it's weird to

978
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,359
Speaker 1: say that the Packers offense has struggled when they've still

979
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: been winning games and putting up you know, like twenty

980
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: eight points. But it's not the same Packers offense we're

981
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 1: used to him. Part of the reason is because they're

982
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: lacking a dynamic threat on the outside because James Jones

983
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 1: is injured, Randocab was injured, Time Montgomery was injured, and

984
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 1: Davonta Adams was injured. White Frankly, Aaron Rodgers production has

985
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: been so so at best. So, I mean it's not

986
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: it's not Eddie Lacy levels of frustration. But if you

987
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 1: spent a you know, low first high second round pick

988
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers, you're not getting a good return on

989
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: your investment. Right. He scored nineteen fantasy points in four

990
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: or six games. What's wrong with that? Well, there's nothing

991
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 1: wrong with that, but it's like James's right, like you

992
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: you got Rogers hoping for four He had sixteen against

993
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: the Niners, uh, but like teen against St. Louis and nineteen. Yeah,

994
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: so what we're saying is his last his last three

995
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: where he's had all of his wide receivers have been injured,

996
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: is where the trouble has been coming. But when when

997
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: everybody was hot so high on the Stavante Adams breakout

998
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: um in Week one, Rogers spread it around a ton.

999
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 1: Davante Adams played the most snaps, had the most targets,

1000
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: and had the most yards. He just didn't get in

1001
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 1: the end zone. So when he if he comes back

1002
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: and there's are no ill effects from his ankle, he's

1003
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: going to be a like on the wide receiver two

1004
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 1: to three range. Yeah, I mean, I'm not really worried

1005
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 1: about Davante Adams. I think it's just a matter of

1006
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,480
Speaker 1: him getting healthy. Now, you know, it is kind of

1007
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: muddled there. I mean, Randall Cobb is certainly still there.

1008
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 1: You've got Adams back time Montgomery's played, you know, a

1009
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: role when when he's healthy and he's injured now, um,

1010
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: you know, so hopefully as long as there aren't too

1011
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: many guys out there, sure, Dante, I still like I

1012
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: will tell you this guys though, because we we've got

1013
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: a research team which is kicking ask and taking names Uh.

1014
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 1: I I requested them to give me the numbers of

1015
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers against every defense, slot receivers against

1016
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: every defense. Uh. The stats are very interesting, and I

1017
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: will say that this is a bad week to play

1018
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb, although you probably have to Denver's defense against

1019
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers is ridiculous. I keep to leave

1020
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,320
Speaker 1: has really done a great job their defense against all receivers,

1021
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: so I don't know that you have enough depth. It's

1022
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 1: kind of the same situation as with Edelman, um, although

1023
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 1: Edeman has been much better than Cobb, but he is

1024
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: still a guy you drafted to start every single week.

1025
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: It's not a good matchup. It's not a good matchup

1026
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,720
Speaker 1: at all. The same thing goes with a Marie Cooper

1027
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,440
Speaker 1: to uh startam and sent him will be up hopefully

1028
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning, so check that out. But uh, the stats

1029
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 1: do not favor Randall Cob this week at all. Gosh,

1030
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,719
Speaker 1: I almost speaking of a Mari Cooper. I mean, are

1031
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: we at the point where Marie Cooper. I don't want

1032
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: to say he's matchup proof playing dere rivos dude, but

1033
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: I mean the way he played that last week when

1034
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: he was playing Jason Darrell Rivis is not Jason Varette.

1035
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 1: Come on, I mean that there's a big difference there.

1036
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,920
Speaker 1: I know about this year though, I mean have you

1037
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 1: seen Jason Varrette this year? And I mean, look, look,

1038
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: take the names off the back of the jerseys. Take

1039
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: the names off the back of the jerseys. They are

1040
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: playing equally good football right now. Vis Jason Varrette held

1041
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Calvin Johnson, and I think a G green

1042
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: to a combine like hundred. You're playing equally good football,

1043
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: don't don't just look at that with Mike Vick. I

1044
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: mean he he shut down those receivers. That with Mike Vick.

1045
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 1: It's a trend. Was that with Mike Vick, it was

1046
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 1: with but it was with Andy Dalton and Matthew Stafford

1047
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: though too. Okay, okay, but I mean i'd be more

1048
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: not I'm not saying don't remember when. I don't remember

1049
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: which game. I'm not sure it hasn't been that he

1050
00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: hasn't been fantastic, because I actually had Mark Cooper has

1051
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: to sit last week. And but I agree with you,

1052
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,400
Speaker 1: but Darrell Rivas is on a different level to me,

1053
00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 1: at least. I mean, name me one wide receiver that's

1054
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: done anything against him. Uhdown, Ah, well, I mean was

1055
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: it was it one on one where he was it

1056
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: was one you know, so Pierre Garson had and did

1057
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: he have like I think the point regardless, I think

1058
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 1: he had nine points in that game with the touchdown,

1059
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: all we're gonna have to let's get back on track. Yeah,

1060
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: let's get uh the I think the point is though,

1061
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: that the Jets defense overall is just I mean, they

1062
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: are just crushed fools out there. So yeah, no, it's

1063
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: a it's a terrible matchup. I just you know, no, listen,

1064
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: I have and I'm playing it, but I don't like

1065
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: the matchup. Yeah, I got you, you know, I got you. Yeah, alright.

1066
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 1: Stevie Johnson has been dealing with some ailments, but he's

1067
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: I think he's starting to get right. I think it's

1068
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 1: it's that time to go pick up Stevie Johnson, especially

1069
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:48,600
Speaker 1: if you're in a PPR league or a deeper league

1070
00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: with maybe like a three wide receiver set. It's nothing

1071
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 1: the big up Stevie Johnson. Because Philip Rivers is slinging

1072
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: the ball all over the lot on it at a

1073
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: baby basis. I think I just looked it up. He's

1074
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 1: averaging fifty seven attempts over the last three insane. He's

1075
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: got what he had sixty five last Mike Leach the

1076
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: other day. It's crazy. It's insane right now, Mike. Because

1077
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: they can't run the football. They cannot run the football.

1078
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,760
Speaker 1: It's to the point. Brandon Oliver was getting significant snaps.

1079
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean, Melvin Gordon was active and on the sideline.

1080
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: He actually played a little bit in the second half.

1081
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: Brandon Oliver was seeing a lot of snaps early in

1082
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: that ball game. Yeah, he sure was. Um, come be,

1083
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,960
Speaker 1: I see come by, come be. This is Jeff Cumberland.

1084
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,879
Speaker 1: If you were desperate for it, this is the Raider

1085
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: plays the Raider play. Yeah, buddy, come bey. I just

1086
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,600
Speaker 1: put him on. He had three targets last week. One

1087
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:39,920
Speaker 1: of them was on the one of them was in

1088
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: the red zone. I'm not doing it. No, I can't

1089
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: do it. I can't do it this week. If you're

1090
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: this week, that's like desperate to the point where you're

1091
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: taking your cousin to the problem. Come be, if fourteen

1092
00:53:53,760 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 1: team league, no, no tight ends are free. All right.

1093
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: Look I'll tell you what, dude, I'll tell you what.

1094
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 1: I will Rode Coumbi, and I was gonna say, how

1095
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: would you danger Zone danger Zone? Come put him in

1096
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: danger Zone University. See what I think I got. I

1097
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: gotta check on carlos Hi a little bit. I gotta

1098
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,680
Speaker 1: do a little bit more research, but I think I

1099
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: might throw the Hayne plane and wow, that's super. I'm

1100
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: going to a right. We should probably dap it, get

1101
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 1: out of here shortly destit because I'll be depth. The

1102
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:35,000
Speaker 1: danger Zone has been on fire. Yeah, on fire. Chris

1103
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:40,000
Speaker 1: Conley played well, Kyrie Robinson too, touchdown like this week

1104
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: was the big test because both of you kind of

1105
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: just were like, whatever, we'll do this guy, and they

1106
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: crushed it. So stupid danger Zone. I love it. All right,

1107
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: let's do daily depths. Foub's what you got for me?

1108
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: We'll see. I was going to adapt the writers from

1109
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: The Walking Dead, but still just don't so I will.

1110
00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: I will say that what yesterday I hadn't gotten a

1111
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: chance to watch the show, and Alex came over and

1112
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 1: he was like, well, because and I talked about it

1113
00:55:08,040 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, uh, and I hadn't seen it. And

1114
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: so after after having four hours of sleep for you know,

1115
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:18,480
Speaker 1: the basically Sunday through Monday. I was exhausted. I said,

1116
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 1: I still gotta watch it. Um. One of the best

1117
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: episodes that we've seen in a while, and it wasn't

1118
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,239
Speaker 1: just about one character, it was about several characters. The

1119
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 1: way that it ended, I'm not going to spoil anything,

1120
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: but it was fantastic, very UM. I think a lot

1121
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,000
Speaker 1: of people know out there clearly that in Game of

1122
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 1: Thrones they're not afraid to shocking. You are like, you're

1123
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 1: you're getting dangerous. They're not characters. I didn't say that.

1124
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 1: I didn't I was not going to be as close

1125
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:59,279
Speaker 1: as that. But they are not to make shocking decisions.

1126
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: So if you haven't seen it, you will certainly be pleasantly.

1127
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: I should have gone to you last, and I should

1128
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: have gone to you last. They set this up the

1129
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 1: next episode, which is ninety minutes, it's going to be

1130
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,080
Speaker 1: I should The reason I should have gone to you

1131
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: last got nothing because you have nothing. I don't say anything. No.

1132
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: The reason I said nothing because people who watched the show,

1133
00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: and there's a great cross section of might have just

1134
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: be like, no, no, I'm out, I'm out, I'm out.

1135
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything, but he didn't say I didn't anything,

1136
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 1: it's a spoiler free and uh and by the way,

1137
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 1: I'll also adapt the New York Mets for my good

1138
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: pal Jason Smith. Uh playing in the World Series and um,

1139
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,359
Speaker 1: I'm jealous as a Yankees fan because boy, I haven't

1140
00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 1: had any fun in the postseason in in a few years.

1141
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,439
Speaker 1: But dapt to the Mets, dapt to the Royals as well.

1142
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 1: Hopefully the series is is a good one. Marcus Grant, Uh,

1143
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 1: well one the kind of piggyback off this the world

1144
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 1: serious thing because it does start on Tuesday night. Here happening,

1145
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: it is not happening. An interesting factor that I learned

1146
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 1: is that the Royals and Mets is the first matchup

1147
00:57:01,440 --> 00:57:05,399
Speaker 1: World Series matchup between two teams that were never segregated. Wow. Yeah,

1148
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: that's pretty cool because they both came along by that.

1149
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,839
Speaker 1: By the time both these teams started playing, Uh, you know,

1150
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: every team had been integrated in Major League Baseball. But

1151
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 1: my real daily DAP so the Golden State Warriors. Man,

1152
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: it's also opening night in the NBA, and I'm the

1153
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: dub That was because something that I never thought would

1154
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: happen in my lifetime. The Warriors are opening an NBA

1155
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: season as champs as defending champions. It's still for all

1156
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: of us who grew up in the Bay Area as

1157
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: Warrior fans, everybody about my age. I mean, look, the

1158
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: Warriors hadn't won a championship in my lifetime, so and

1159
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 1: they wanted in a way with Steph Curry just balling there. Yeah,

1160
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: so it was fun. It was my Steph Curry Championship

1161
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: bobblehead on my desk. And uh, you know what, I'm

00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: show Nathan for You, which came back a couple of

1205
00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: weeks ago on Comedy Central. If you have not watched

1206
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 1: it yet, go do it. It's on I think it's

1207
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 1: on Hulu and comedy Central dot com. The show just

1208
00:59:56,920 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 1: started its third season. It is I think the funniest

1209
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: show on television right well at least for me. And

1210
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: like when show introduced a harmon the day and he

1211
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 1: was like crying laughing so hard, because what it is

1212
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 1: is there's this stand up comedian who is just sublime

1213
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: at awkward interpersonal interactions, and he poses on his show

1214
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: as a business expert and then he goes to struggling

1215
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 1: businesses and comes up with like crazy ideas for how

1216
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: they can attract more customers, and then they execute those

1217
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 1: on the show and film it and it's just hilarious.

1218
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 1: So like, for instance, he went to a souvenir shop

1219
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 1: on Hollywood Boulevard and told the guy that in order

1220
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: to attract more customers, because this guy was way off

1221
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the strip, he had to pretend like there was a

1222
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: Hollywood movie being filmed there so people would come in,

1223
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: and then part of the comments he was like, who

1224
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: wants to be in the movie, So he would send

1225
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: him in and he was the director. He's like, all right,

1226
01:00:45,640 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: you what you have to do is buy a souvenir.

1227
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 1: That's your role in the movie. But then he found

1228
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 1: out that that could have been fraud so then he

1229
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: had to actually make the movie like a real movie.

1230
01:00:55,840 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: So then he had to create a fake film festival.

1231
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: It's like a film festival that he then one and

1232
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 1: got an awards. It was like a real movie and

1233
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: they couldn't get fraudulent charges. And on the most recent episode,

1234
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: he wanted to find a way so overweight people could

1235
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: horseback ride because there's like weight limits, so rigged up

1236
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: a thing where they could have gigantic helium balloons attached

1237
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 1: to them so they could go and ride on horseback.

1238
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: It is. The show is insane, and it's hilarious and

1239
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: it's really cool, and it's also like kind of actually insightful,

1240
01:01:25,400 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: you know. Interesting side note about that. I've seen a

1241
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: couple of episodes and during his first season, that's right.

1242
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:32,880
Speaker 1: I happened to flip on an episode and I hear

1243
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: a voice that's familiar and it is our own Matt

1244
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: Money Smith baking a cameo on on an episode of

1245
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: the first season. He's in there. Uh he is announcing

1246
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: a basically unthan has to in a Houdini like manner,

1247
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: has to unhook himself from some handcuffs less the claw

1248
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: of shame, uh expose him and he is uh labeled

1249
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: a criminal. Okay, we'll leave it at that. But but
