Speaker 2: Welcome back. I'm Dale LOLLI he is Matt Williamson, and

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: this is the Drive on Steelers Nation Radio and it's

6
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: time for the Fantasy Football Focus. And well, Matt, we

7
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: do still have a quarterback going here.

8
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 3: I'm the player.

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 2: I might be looking at the wrong No, we played

10
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 2: Brock Purdy. What am I saying? Our our DFS line

11
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 2: up this week was jump junk. I'm sorry I took

12
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,200
Speaker 2: us down the wrong road with George Kettle.

13
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: However, we thought Deebo wouldn't play, and the logic was,

14
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 3: and Deebo doesn't play, Kittle blows When one receiver than

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 3: the Niners doesn't play, Kittle blows up. And there's a

16
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 3: lot of history of that. Well, they both played.

17
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 2: In one catch for nine yards.

18
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 3: Then Deebo did nothing too. Yeah, you know, I you

19
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 3: quit crazy, You quit krit McCaffrey went crazy. Yeah. One

20
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 3: catch for nine yards for George Kittle brutal? Why are

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: you paying him all that money for him to have

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 3: one yard? One catch for nine yards? That doesn't make

23
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: any sense tight ends brutal is here advantis it really

24
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: is really tough. I also had to call on Javonte Williams.

25
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: He's hurt now too. Yeah.

26
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: He had three catches for nine yards and like three

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: carries for no yards.

28
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: And they scored a lot of points. Yeah, so Thok

29
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: waivers later in the week. But p Ryan and I aways

30
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: get the other guy's name are in play. I think

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 3: if Johntay misses a little bit of time.

32
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: Except for the fact that the Broncos stinking.

33
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 3: They're bad and they don't play the Bears every week.

34
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 2: The brock Curdy party call was actually the right one.

35
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, and we didn't pay a lot for him. Yeah.

36
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: He was used in nine point two percent of lineups,

37
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 2: fifty nine hundred dollars. We got twenty one point three

38
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: two points out of him.

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: We'll take it. Yeah, that was our.

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: Only fire in ouray. We had a lot of a

41
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 2: lot of snowflakes. Zach Moss wasn't a bad call. No,

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: he had seventy yards in a two point conversion, only

43
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 2: nine points though, because he didn't catch.

44
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 3: Anyth didn't catch anything, but she had.

45
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 2: Been might be an Anthony Richardson.

46
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 3: Thing could be could be don't throw to the backs. Yeah,

47
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: I don't know that. I mean, that's a running quarterback trend,

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: without question or without question. Hurts doesn't do it much either.

49
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: Jordan Palmer or Josh Palmer should say. Three catches for

50
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: seventy seven yards.

51
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: We didn't pay much for forty.

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: Like we thought, though it was very chalky for the.

53
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 3: Other's a big number. Yeah, okay, so cheap.

54
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: We paid up for Justin Jefferson. He had six catches

55
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: for eighty five yards and two touchdowns. This is how

56
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: good Justin Jefferson is. That didn't even get him.

57
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 3: A fire, doesn't get him a fire.

58
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: He had and a half points in It's like his

59
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: average game.

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 3: It is remarkable. We never let you down.

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: The afore mentioned Chrystal lave one catch for four yards unreal,

62
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: and we paid seventy one dollars for one catch for

63
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: four years.

64
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a Matthew Berry guys. I love. And

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: when we did it, I thought Winston was going to

66
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: be in. Now I didn't. I may not have changed

67
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: my stance on honestly, that's.

68
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: What did us in is we started not one but

69
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 2: two Saints wide receivers.

70
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: And all they did was throw to Kamar over and

71
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: over for no yards. Tampa destroyed them too. Yeah that

72
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: was killed twenty six and nine. But yeah, we had

73
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: Shaheed and the Rashid. Shaheed actually outscored Crystal Lave. I

74
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: know he had three catches for thirty three yards. That

75
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 3: was their deep balls. We took the passing game with

76
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 3: quarterback with no shoulder. I mean that that's flawed logic obviously,

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: But I didn't think it was gonna play. I didn't either.

78
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: You think if he would throw the ball out and

79
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 3: be able to throw the ball on the field and

80
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: it was not.

81
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: The Browns defense was used in forty two point eight percent.

82
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 3: Of the league's Okay, because banged up Well, they just

83
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 3: weren't that expensive at the time. Yeah, they weren't terrible,

84
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 3: but they weren't good.

85
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that didn't work out either, four points out of them.

86
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 2: It could have been worse. We could have getten, gotten

87
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 2: negative points.

88
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: Baltimore is not a great team to start a defense

89
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 3: against because they don't throw that much. So there's not

90
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: gonna be many sacks. There's not gonna be in many interceptions.

91
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 3: You know, they're the highest that started by Baltimore. Information

92
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 3: and they're the the run heaviest team in the league

93
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 3: right now, so that's a tougher fantasy defense.

94
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: That budeswell for the Steelers.

95
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could go wrong there.

96
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, what could happen? Looking at the this week's passing

97
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 2: leadersh Austin fields leads away. Yeah, three hundred and thirty

98
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: five yards, four touchdowns, one interception.

99
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: He didn't run that much, a not a ton.

100
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: He actually stayed in the pocket through the football because

101
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: apparently you can do that against Denvers.

102
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 3: Denvers defense is really really bad, and we saw what

103
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: the Dolphins did to him a week ago seventy points.

104
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: But you at least have to be optimistic. I mean,

105
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: we think he's a better football player than he's shown

106
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: the first couple weeks. I mean, I don't I have

107
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: my doubts about the guy, But you throw for that

108
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 3: in the NFL, it's something.

109
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 2: The problem was they had a big lead in that game,

110
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 2: what was it, twenty eight to three.

111
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 3: I think they scored twenty eight unanswered points, and then

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 3: they gave up twenty four on answer points to lose it.

113
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: And he had a big fumble kind of like Zach

114
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 3: Wilson too.

115
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Josh Allen lit up that Miami defense twenty one

116
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: to twenty five for three hundred and twenty yards and

117
00:05:55,560 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: four touchdown passes. So a week after Tua had more

118
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: touchdown passes than incompletions against Denver, Josh Allen did the

119
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: same thing to them. He had he had as many

120
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 2: incompletions as he had touched on.

121
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 3: I think party was real close too, by the way,

122
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 3: and Alan is he number one in terms of fantasy

123
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: quarterbacks you would want to own right now.

124
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: He had a perfect one fifty eight point three passer rating.

125
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 3: And we'll get the stuff on Diggs, but he was

126
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: a dominant player in this game too.

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Jalen Hurts was twenty five of thirty seven for

128
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: three nineteen and two touchdowns coming around.

129
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's not just legs Reliant. Well, I'm

130
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: sure we'll mention AJ Brown. He blew up, you know.

131
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: So a couple of studs came to play in the

132
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: receiver position.

133
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 2: Stafford had three nineteen in a touchdown.

134
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: Looks good doing it too. He's never gonna run. He

135
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: got a little bit hurt in this game. He tough,

136
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: toughened out, threw it and Puka was big again. Two

137
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 3: two's alright. I mean they're they're hanging in there cups

138
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: right around the corner too.

139
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: Stroud had three zero six and two touchdowns.

140
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: He's probably in the top twelve if they're going to

141
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: run him like they you know, yeah they did. I mean,

142
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: is he like the tenth to twelfth quarterback for fantasy? Maybe?

143
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: Maybe?

144
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 3: Maybe?

145
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 2: Uh? Sam Howe had two ninety and a touchdown.

146
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: He's aggressive. I mean that game went overtime too, which

147
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 3: Hurts took five.

148
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: Took five more sacks. He didn't throw any interceptions. He's

149
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: gonna take He's gonna he's gonna break the sack records.

150
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all or nothing with that guy. Yeah, but

151
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 3: for fantasy, not so terrible.

152
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: Brock Purty was twenty of twenty one for two hundred

153
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 2: and eighty three yards in a touchdown.

154
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: It's pretty much a party stat line.

155
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was only good for a passer rating of

156
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: one thirty four point six. Though that's why I don't

157
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: quite understand passer rating. He completed everything that was asked

158
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: of except for one. Yeah, touchdowns are very touchdown dependent.

159
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: H two of Tigo Vaaloa to eighty two and a touchdown.

160
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: He was sacked four times. He was twenty five three

161
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: five in that game, also through an interception. But if

162
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: that's his floor touchdown passo, yeah, I mean that's probably

163
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: close to his Florida though for fantasy. I mean, that

164
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 2: was a tough day for Miami all and all, and

165
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: at Chan I was trying to do my best to

166
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: pronounce his name right. Was a force once again. And

167
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: you know who was still start I mean, don't worry

168
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: about him. Yeah, to blip on the radar looking at

169
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: the bottom side of this Doorhane Thompson Robinson of.

170
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: The players totally overmatch.

171
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred and twenty one yards, three interceptions for

172
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: sacks he took. They need to show him Watson back

173
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 2: bad as soon as quickly as possible.

174
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 3: And who knows what to make of that. I mean

175
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: it sounded like he was close to play, and maybe

176
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: they knew all along he wasn't. But the rest of

177
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: their offense isn't usable without him, Yeah, Ford and Cooper

178
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 3: and those guys.

179
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 2: You mentioned Derek Carr. He had twenty three completions for

180
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty seven yards.

181
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 3: Thirteen of them are Kamar for like thirty yards. I mean,

182
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: that's a hard state line to do.

183
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, Kirk Cousins came crashing back the only three

184
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 2: the ball nineteen times in that game. Jefferson still had

185
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: a good game.

186
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: With it is, but like Hawk and Addison and they

187
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: ran the ball. Actually yeah, for.

188
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: Twelve to nineteen for one hundred and thirty nine yards

189
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 2: and two touchdowns with two interceptions.

190
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 3: Would you hesitate to start him next week or going forward?

191
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: Probably not that? Uh yeah yeah. Mac Jones twelve of

192
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 2: twenty one, no touchdowns and two interceptions got benched.

193
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 3: Not bench. Then he came back in and he was

194
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: not operating efficiently.

195
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow twenty of thirty four, one hundred and sixty

196
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,599
Speaker 2: five yards and no touchdowns, no interceptions, three sacks of

197
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 2: lost fumble.

198
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 3: That's like his every day. That's twenty twenty three.

199
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: For He's not usable right now.

200
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 3: No, you got you gotta bench him. I'm it looks

201
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 3: like Hagan's going to miss time. Yeah, that's got yeah, yeah,

202
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 3: that hurts him.

203
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert Night game against the Raiders. That would you.

204
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 3: Consider bench or dropping Burrow in a shallow league? Not

205
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 3: if you want to drop him. But he's gonna sit

206
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 3: on your He's just sit on your bench. For a while.

207
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 2: I try to trade him. Yeah, you're not gonna get

208
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 2: full price for him, but you try to. Maybe there's

209
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: a Burrow believer out there that's, hey, he's gonna turn this.

210
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 3: Sun nasby last night he's like, guy in my league

211
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: offered me Burrow for Watson, Like, I'm not doing that.

212
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 3: Could pay off for you in November. But de bends

213
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: so bad you need him. Yeah, really, that's what depends,

214
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,479
Speaker 3: That's what comes out. Yeah, you can always find a quarterback.

215
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: But the rushing leaders there were eight guys over one

216
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: hundred yards. Derrick Henry twenty two of one to twenty

217
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: two by that game for a touchdown as well, played

218
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 2: keep away from the Bengals. They won that twenty seven

219
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: to three. Uh David Montgomery on Thursday night. Oh yeah,

220
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: thirty two for one twenty one and three count three touchdowns.

221
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 3: Now you want to piece that offense, and he's a

222
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: big piece of it.

223
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 2: Isaiah Pacheco had twenty for one to fifteen in a touchdown.

224
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: Think he also had like fifty yards receiving in that game.

225
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was a focal point. I mean they're still

226
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 3: looking for receivers and Kelsey didn't blow up and you know.

227
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey twenty for one oh six and three touchdowns.

228
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 3: I think he caught one too, right, yeah, four total

229
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: in four total. He's the first pick overall if you

230
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 3: were drafting the day, right, yeah. Yeah. Uh.

231
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 2: Jeanne Robinson fourteen for one oh five, didn't score in.

232
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: The phenomenal and also contributed as a receiver. Their problem

233
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 3: is their offense is just Ritter's bad and when they

234
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 3: get down their their passing game doesn't do anything. But

235
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 3: he's game script. He's not game strip depended at all.

236
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: Khalil Herbert had eighteen for one oh three.

237
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if I trust it, but he really

238
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: grabbed a hold of the job.

239
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a lot of people Johnson Johnson an

240
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: factor into that. He's still the lead horse. He is,

241
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 2: he is and he's a good player. Kieran Williams had

242
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: twenty five for one oh three and two touchdowns, four

243
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 2: point one to carry. I don't know what to think

244
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: of him.

245
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 3: I was hesitant to trust him, but I think it's

246
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 3: a big enough body of work that he's gonna be

247
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 3: the guy, and.

248
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: He's gonna get he's gonna be on the field a lot.

249
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 3: Their offense is pretty good. I mean it's good enough.

250
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: Stafford Cups comes back. I'm kind of in on their offense.

251
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: And then Devin e Chan eight for one oh one

252
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: and two touchdowns.

253
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 3: Explosive as could be. I don't know if I'll hold up,

254
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 3: but right as long as he can.

255
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 2: Can only imagine they they're they're thinking they got to

256
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: get him more than I think.

257
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 3: Ye. I mean I think he's lead a game. I mean,

258
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: I bet he's I don't know if he'll lead the team

259
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 3: and touches, but he makes the most of them. He

260
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: could be a league winner.

261
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 2: Alexander Madison just missed with seventeen for ninety five. He

262
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 2: had Damian Pierce with twenty four for eighty one. The

263
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 2: end result of that doesn't look great. Three point four

264
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 2: yards per carry.

265
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 3: His tape was much better than his box score.

266
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Jalil McLaughlin is the guy you're I always forget him.

267
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, seven for seventy two, kind of a third down back. Yeah,

268
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 3: people are really high on him.

269
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: Then you had Naujia Harris at fourteen for seventy one.

270
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: I thought he looked really good. I thought he was

271
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: the best player they would have liked to have gotten

272
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: him the ball more. He was playing really tough, but

273
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: the defense couldn't keep him on the field.

274
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: Madison and Pierce are kind of similar. Just to rewind

275
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 3: thirty seconds. Are you trusting them for fantasy? You know

276
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 3: the team wants to use them, They want to use them,

277
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: but they haven't been able to into this week. Yeah,

278
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 3: I might need another week to you know, put ties

279
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 3: in their favor.

280
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: Zach Moss had eighteen for seventy.

281
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mentioned him, wasn't need to catch the ball

282
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: mixing had Taylor is eligible.

283
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: Now Taylor is, they're talking about starting the clock on him.

284
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 3: Okay coming back.

285
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: That may be forcing them to Taylor to make a decision. Yeah,

286
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 2: you come back and practice for us where you're shut

287
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: down for the year.

288
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 3: But there we'll get news on that probably sooner than later.

289
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 2: It wouldn't surprise me if Taylor does come back and

290
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 2: then comes up with the phantom hamstring or something like that. Good, yeah,

291
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: you know, just to make sure he gets paid and

292
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 2: gets the year recrued.

293
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 3: But we saw Kamara come back, you know, guys like Jamison, Williams,

294
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: cop A lot of these dudes we haven't seen all year.

295
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 3: Starting to filter back into the your fantasy life.

296
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, looking at the receivers from this week, we

297
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 2: had just seven players over one hundred yards receiving. AJ

298
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 2: Brown mentioned nine for one to seventy five and two touchdowns.

299
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 2: Look like himself. Nico Collins seven for one sixty eight

300
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: and two touchdowns. That's becoming a trend.

301
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: He's really good. Yeah, if drafted both ways going for

302
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: him and for the Steelers giving up big yardists to receivers.

303
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 2: Puka Nakua nine for one sixty three touchdowns.

304
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he does it every week now.

305
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk six for one eight didn't score though didn't score.

306
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: McCaffrey scored all their touchdowns.

307
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but I wouldn't worry about a Hukatoll.

308
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: D J.

309
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 2: Moore sitting probably languishing on everybody's bench this week had

310
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 2: eight for one point thirty one in a touchdown.

311
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's probably that point where you're mad at him,

312
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: so you benched him, and then now he's got some

313
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 3: juice again. I guess I trust him. He's a good player.

314
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: I mean, they're gonna like they Claypool was inactive this

315
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 2: week for them, and they told him just to stay

316
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: away from the facility like there's good. They're trying to

317
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: trade him. I don't know what you get for him

318
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: at this very much. You're not going to get what

319
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: you paid.

320
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

321
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs. You mentioned six for one to twenty and three.

322
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 2: Count him three touchdowns.

323
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 3: He was awesome.

324
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the final one hundred yard receiver was

325
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: Chris Godwin eight for one fourteen. Why didn't we see

326
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: that coming? We talked about the Evans Latimore thing. Godwin

327
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: always blows up against them, Yeah, he does. And Evans

328
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: was in now of the lineup too, so Godwin got

329
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: even more attention? Is it Palmer is their third guy?

330
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 2: He wasn't bad either, Yeah, he scored. Yeah, the Bucks were.

331
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 2: They might they the best team at the division. It

332
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: might be maybe three and one. I don't trust it. No,

333
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 2: just missing.

334
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: With Conwin and Evans. I'm playing for fantasy. Marquise Brown

335
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: had seven for ninety six. He's better than I thought too.

336
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 3: He's okay.

337
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: Room Jobs had nine for ninety five.

338
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: He was like a long time ago. But yeah, I

339
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 3: mean I've been selling him.

340
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 2: You gotta play every week the top tight end. You're

341
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: gonna love this. John new Smith had six for no No.

342
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was I'm trying to think. I'm like, it's

343
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 3: nobody that was fantasy relevant. John wu Flipping Smith. Yeah

344
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 3: he's not terrible, but man, can't can't that go to Pitts.

345
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 3: I don't know as much Pitts stock as I used to,

346
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 3: but enough to be confided frustrated. Yeah.

347
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin eight for eighty six.

348
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: So there's a weird McLaurin note. I think Washington fumbled

349
00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: one into the end zone and he jumped on it,

350
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 3: and a lot of his fantasy owners are where are

351
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 3: my points? So most leagues don't give you credit for that.

352
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah you don't.

353
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah you scored, but go get.

354
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: A team touchdown.

355
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

356
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 2: Cole Comet has seven. He was actually the number one

357
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 2: scoring tight end this week. Seven for eighty five and

358
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 2: two touchdowns. I might be wrong, but I think it's

359
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 2: been two or three weeks in a row where he's

360
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 2: been a fantasy worthy tight end. I'm not sure. I

361
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: trust that he's probably available in a lot of leagues though.

362
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: Oh. I would think it might be a hot pick

363
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 3: up this week. Could be, could be. I don't know

364
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 3: what the waiver wire looks. Everybody's reaching for tight ends. Oh,

365
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 3: everyone's desperate, right Justin.

366
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 2: Jefferson six for eighty five and two touchdowns, Christian Kirk

367
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 2: eight for eighty four overseas they've just.

368
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: Stopped throwing to to Ridley. Ridley, he cut a touchdown early.

369
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 3: He had two catches, he had two. He's I think

370
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: he's like leading the league in drops right now too.

371
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs had eight for eighty one receptions. Yeah.

372
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 3: I didn't realize that. Okay, Wow, that's a nice day

373
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 3: for him.

374
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,879
Speaker 2: Mark Andrews, the Ravens remembered he's on the team. He

375
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 2: had five for eighty and two touchdown touchdowns.

376
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. So they had two receivers out and they went

377
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 3: it was all Za and it was all Andrews.

378
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: DeVante Smith seven for seventy eight. Jake Ferguson, who we

379
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 2: talked about last week, he had seven for seventy seven.

380
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 3: I bet he's a hot waiver wire pickup. Yeah. I

381
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 3: mean the desperate tight end teams say, well, he's a

382
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: better version of Dulton Schultzen Dallas.

383
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: Josh Palmer three for seventy seven. Theland did it again,

384
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 2: seven for seventy.

385
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 3: Six, two different quarterbacks too. I think that's kind of telling.

386
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: Michael Wilson will be a hot pick up this week. Yeah,

387
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 2: maybe like Tim the Senior Bowl, he had seven for

388
00:18:58,119 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: seventy six.

389
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: And two touchdowns. Is a real fantasy related But for

390
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 3: where they got him in the NFL draft, they may

391
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: have got a starting wide receiver. You know, he's a

392
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 3: good player.

393
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams eight for seventy.

394
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 3: Five, so that's a floor for him.

395
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's what the Aiden O'Connell con That's

396
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: still not a bad fantasy game, No, no at all.

397
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase seven for seventy three, so a.

398
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 3: Couple of weeks he gets so much attention, but he's

399
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 3: gonna get so many targets. I mean, no Higgins, now, yeah.

400
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: It's McCaffrey had seven for seventy one and a touchdown and.

401
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: He's got on both lists. Yeah.

402
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: Josh Reynolds had three for sixty nine, so he showed

403
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: up again. But he gets shut out last week and

404
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: they get Jamison Williams coming back this week.

405
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 3: He will play this week, right, Yeah, because this isn't

406
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 3: a like warm up, you know.

407
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he could assume that that's that Reynolds is the

408
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: guy that takes the hit there.

409
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 3: I would have think so They're not gonna bench Amaron

410
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: Ross Saint Brown, No, no, no, absolutely not.

411
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: He get a better version of Josh Reynolds.

412
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 3: Basically it should be what it is, but he's had

413
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 3: a weird career. Tyler Higbee had five for sixty four.

414
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 3: It's about what he does in the tight end world.

415
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: That's not so bad.

416
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins four for sixty three.

417
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 3: They're passing game in general. Worries me.

418
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: Alan Lazard did three for sixty one in the touchdown

419
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 2: in that game last night, made a couple of plays.

420
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not terrible. He's a big slot Wilson played

421
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 3: a little better. Zach Garrett was good too. They actually

422
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 3: got the ball to Garrett in the hall a little bit.

423
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis had three for sixty one in a touchdown.

424
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: That's a Gabe Davis day. Maybe you'll expect ninety yards

425
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: instead of you know, he's not for me, but he's

426
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 2: been better than he's been. Okay, And then is this

427
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: the floor? Is this the ceiling right now? For Garrett Wilson,

428
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: he had nine for sixty He ha his six point

429
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 2: seven yards per catch. They're doing things to try to

430
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 2: get him the football. Yeah, but they can't get it

431
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 2: down in the field to him, no protection is an issue.

432
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 2: I don't know that I'd like trade him now, you know,

433
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: so high might I might try to trade him right now, Like, hey,

434
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,199
Speaker 2: he just hit nine catches, I know, just just a

435
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: great player. That's fifteen Fantasy points. Like, hey, that's live

436
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: and you could live with that.

437
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 3: One thing I do believe in fantasy is like everyone

438
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 3: watched that game and it was good press and like, oh,

439
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna buy low on Wilson now, it might be

440
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 3: not a terrible time to dumble them. Yeah, looking here

441
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 3: at the waiver wire for running backs or guys that

442
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 3: might be out there, mentioned McLaughlin.

443
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: Josh Kelly had a decent game, seventeen for sixty five.

444
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,399
Speaker 2: Where's that been the last couple of weeks. Yeah, but

445
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: Eckler was doubt for so he's probably back. You think

446
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: brees Hall had six for fifty six. They're just not

447
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 2: giving him a ball enough. He had forty three yard runs. Yeah,

448
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 2: his other five catches, there's other five carries. He had

449
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: thirteen yards. I mean, they're just they can't run. Camera

450
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 2: just plum facing the stack the box. Darius Davis wide

451
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 2: receiver for the Chargers, had three carries for fifty one yards.

452
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 3: He's there, jitterbug after the catch, pump returner type. Dude,

453
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 3: don't be don't look at the box score. Yeah yeah,

454
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 3: you say, oh, I got to pick this guy up. Yes,

455
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 3: that's probably a game game plan thing.

456
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 2: Pierre Strong had five for forty nine and they did

457
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: it for Cleveland. Is that mop up duty? I don't know.

458
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 2: I'll learn more about that, but my hunch is yeah,

459
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 2: he had a forty yard run in there as well.

460
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: But you're not loving Ford at the moment.

461
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: Ronnie Rivers with the Rams. Yeah, he had nine for

462
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 2: forty seven and his long carry was nine yards.

463
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: He's not terrible.

464
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the back the handcuff to Kieren.

465
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: One to say that's you might want to do that

466
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 3: a week before Williams gets hurt as opposed to the

467
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 3: week and that you're fighting your whole league for him.

468
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 2: He's probably at least worse putting on your radar, if not,

469
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: if you have room when you're bench to stash him.

470
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: Like in my one league, I have Kenny Pickett that

471
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: I'm not going to use for a couple of weeks,

472
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 3: and I might grab him, you know, like I picked

473
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 3: up Stafford, and you know, he's.

474
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 2: One injury away from being a guy that's getting twenty carries.

475
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 3: It's not a bad offense. Yeah, he's not a terrible

476
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: player despite not people knowing him. Yeah, so that's Ronnie

477
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 3: Rivers from the Rams. Is fun Ronnie Rivers and the Rams,

478
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 3: the Rams, Ronnie Rivers, Yeah, exactly, that's always fun. All right,

479
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 3: we got a game tonight, Matt and uh we do

480
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 3: who Seattle and the Giants? If you're doing ones?

481
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 2: But back right, No, no, no, he's okay, doubtful in

482
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 2: this one. Kenneth Walker would be nice.

483
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tim Bens and I do a fantasy segment, you know,

484
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 3: for our pregame, and we both picked Kenneth Walker, as

485
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 3: you know, could have a really big game.

486
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 2: Again, Robs would be if you're if you're putting together

487
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 2: in a single game DFS, that would be one to

488
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 2: maybe stash in there somewhere.

489
00:23:56,440 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 3: Yeah. I was trying to think of who else, not

490
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: really coming up with any sleepers, but neither d's particularly good.

491
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: It might be a better fantasy game than it looks

492
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: like on paper.

493
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would imagine, I mean both receivers

494
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 2: for for.

495
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 3: Uh Metcalfin Walker.

496
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, but for Seattle or are good. Waller Jones is

497
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 2: a good fantasy place.

498
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 3: He is. He's a much severer game standalone, and Gino

499
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 3: has not been terrible either.

500
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 2: Yeah. You can't be able to afford all those unless

501
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 2: you do pay down for a guy like one Del Robinson.

502
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 3: Wandell's a nice pick. Maybe one of their tight ends

503
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 3: fans or somebody like that has a decent game.

504
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

505
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 3: I'm keeping this an eye on Charbonnat's usage. It's gone

506
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: up every week. Yeah, and I don't know they'll cut

507
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: into Walker, but he's a pretty good player.

508
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. And of course Brito will handle most of the

509
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 2: running for the Giants, so I'm.

510
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: Not expecting much. But the defense he's facings pretty favorable.

511
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, for sure it We're going to get through

512
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 2: a break. He is Matt Williamson. I am Dale. Lollet

515
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: really awful, dreadful, disgusting fantasy lineup. Yeah much, that was bad.

516
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 2: That's probably our worst lineup of the year. I guess, yes, yes,

517
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 2: I would guess so. Yeah, we'll be better. Lave A Kiddle,

00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,719

536
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 3: of radio in my life, and there's some cough button

537
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: around here somewhere.

538
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: I don't know where it's at in this I try.

539
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: To like stick it in the corner over here and

540
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: muffle what the best I can. Sorry, water went down

541
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 3: the wrong pipe. I'm gonna survive. Though, Okay, I'm gonna

542
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 3: make it.

543
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: All right good. I don't want to have to finish

544
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 2: the show by myself. You probably would be concerned if something.

545
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 3: Batter, That's all right. So along those lines, you know

546
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 3: how we do. We both do pre pregame show and

547
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 3: then I do the call from my basement.

548
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

549
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 3: I fought through like ten sneezes through that call. My

550
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: buddies are like, are you uk over there? I'm like,

551
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: the show must go on. But I'm like half sneezing

552
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 3: and coffin and pursuits asking me stuff. And I was

553
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 3: a warrior. The show must go on. I was worried

554
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 3: about hiccups. You had hiccups the one day that's my

555
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: biggest Yeah.

556
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 2: Yeah. Bill Barnwell in ESPN put together a little story

557
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: here for Monday, as he will do. And of course

558
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: this one is the NFL Week four blowout losses, which

559
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: team should be concerned, And of course the Steelers are

560
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 2: mentioned in this one because.

561
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 3: It was like eight or nine of them. Yeah, it's contagious.

562
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 3: This is contagious, my goodness. And we need to figure

563
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: out that cough button in here. Anyway.

564
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to there's like I'm gonna touch any

565
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 2: of that. That soundboard has like eighty seven buttons on it,

566
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: and we might launch the nukes if anyway. So the

567
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 2: first team on here is the Miami Dolphins.

568
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,719
Speaker 3: So does he rank these in terms of least concerned?

569
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 2: I don't know.

570
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that because I only read the Steelers

571
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 3: section so far. I will go back and read the others. Yeah,

572
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 3: I didn't, but they would be my least concerned.

573
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 2: Oh okay, So I'll stack the other six teams in

574
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 2: the order of how concerned I feel about their situations

575
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: after being blown out in the field, starting with the

576
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 2: team I'm least concerned with about, in part because if

577
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: the team have been dominant in each of the last

578
00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: three weeks, the Dolphins are his number one team on.

579
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 3: There only anyone's crying for the Dolphins at the moment.

580
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 2: No, and some of that. I think the Bills probably

581
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: got sick of hearing about the Dolphins in their building. Oh,

582
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 2: you just scored seventy and oh, by the way, you

583
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: pretended that you were. Here's the thing about what the

584
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 2: Dolphins did against the Broncos. They took a knee eight

585
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: in the game when they could have kicked a field

586
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: goal to set the record. Prior to that, they're throwing

587
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: seventy yard bombs.

588
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 3: Oh they weren't kind or just fifty points. Yeah right,

589
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: don't be like, oh they look out mignanimous.

590
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel was no, no, no, no, no no. He

591
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 2: had his backup quarterback and they're throwing the throwing seventy

592
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 2: yard bombs.

593
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 3: And Denver's out there in one hundred and thirty degree

594
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: heat or whatever, just no resistance whatsoever.

595
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 2: Speaking, which, did you see what James Franklin did the

596
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: other day? They're up I think they were up twenty

597
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 2: points against Northwestern.

598
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 3: Okay, games in hand, games in.

599
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 2: Hand, the backup quarterback fakes taking a knee and throws

600
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 2: a touchdown pass.

601
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: That's not going to be forgotten. Yeah, in a Big

602
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 3: ten game too. Yeah, I'm not.

603
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 2: Cool to cover the spread yet.

604
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 3: Oh really? Yeah, because it's.

605
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 2: I don't care about that. I get that the Penn State,

606
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: he shouldn't care about that. He shouldn't care about that.

607
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 3: But that doesn't even like the NFL, it doesn't matter.

608
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 3: No one's voting for your spot. But that doesn't even

609
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 3: help your cause. It's not like, wow, great job, I'm

610
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 3: not cool with.

611
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 2: That yeah, fake taking a knee and then threw a

612
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 2: touchdown pass. Yuck. Yeah, and there are people defending.

613
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 3: That really yeah for that reason, Well, fans.

614
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, you gotta stop it. No, you're you're

615
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 2: I understood. Like when people got upset when they scored

616
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: late in the game. I can't against Michigan State, I

617
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 2: think it was or something like that, and they ran

618
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: like they're one of their backups had a touchdown run

619
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 2: late in the game. Okay, I get it. Yeah, you know,

620
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 2: I gotta tell them not to play fake taking a knee, right.

621
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 3: That's different when Bama has their threes in that are

622
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 3: all eighteen year olds trying to become a one and

623
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 3: they're running over whoever. You'll so be it now, okay,

624
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 3: Penn say fans, and I don't care. I'm not super

625
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: low to pit or anything like this. So next time

626
00:31:10,200 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: when they taken me in Indiana or Michigan.

627
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 2: State last year blows your whole.

628
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: Offensive line and quarterback apart, don't cry about it, right

629
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 3: because that should come because you put it on tape. Yeah, yeah,

630
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 3: you put it on tape.

631
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 2: Yeah. So he's not concerned about the Dolphins, but I

632
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 2: guarantee that the Bills were trying to rub their noses

633
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 2: in a little bit like, Oh, you're the Yeah, you're

634
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 2: the new kid on the block. Here, you're gonna you

635
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 2: just scored seventy and you're gonna come in here and

636
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: run us out of our own building. I think not.

637
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: However, like when we looked at the Tier one team's

638
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 3: last Tuesday for Power Rank, I thought they were the

639
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: least the most fragile, you know, like, I'm not worried

640
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,959
Speaker 3: about the Eagles, the Bills, Niners.

641
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 2: You know, Like I'm a little more worried about the

642
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 2: Bills now Withvious White having a torn all of that. Okay,

643
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,520
Speaker 2: not that he had been playing great, but their corner

644
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 2: positions on Super Super Strong.

645
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't love Miami's defense before this, as

646
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: elite teams go, you know.

647
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one big issue for them. He has

648
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 2: the Saints at number two on the list.

649
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 3: Hmmm, I mean I'm concerned. I would be concerned too, Yeah,

650
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 3: I mean.

651
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: I much.

652
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 3: I think their defense is really good. I guess Kamara

653
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: said some things like this offense hasn't been good for

654
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 3: two years. Yeah, well, you know what's happened for two

655
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: years As the head coach has been there, and Sean

656
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: Payton isn't I mean, pretty easy to read between the lines,

657
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 3: and Tomorrow has been out of the out of the

658
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 3: situation for Walkers back and like this ain't what he

659
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 3: used to be And this is.

660
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: After a game in which he touched the ball twenty

661
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: plus twenty.

662
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I still think they're an average football

663
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: team though. Yeah, and I don't mean that good or bad.

664
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: He has the Patriots at three on this list. I

665
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 2: think he's out of his mind. I'm concerned about that.

666
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: The Patriots stink.

667
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: Well, we just got a blurb that christinan Zalez has hurt,

668
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 3: who's been a really promising rookie. Matt Judon is probably

669
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 3: the best defensive plays out for the Year's out for

670
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 3: the year. Yeah, yeah, I don't. I got issues with.

671
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 2: They don't have any offensive weapons. No, no, no, no, they

672
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 2: can't get Remondra Stevenson going. Their offensive line is maybe

673
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 2: worse than worse shape than what the Steelers is doing.

674
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 3: I think so. I think so now they're and Mac

675
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 3: Jones is like still complaining and it's it's a weird

676
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 3: Mac Jones Belichick dynamic over the last two years.

677
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is.

678
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I'm concerned. I don't think they're a

679
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: very good team.

680
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 2: I don't think they're a very good team at all.

681
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 2: Jones is three for seventeen on deep passes this season,

682
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 2: three for seven.

683
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 3: I know it was really bad. I know it was

684
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 3: that bad. That's awful. Like I would be less concerned

685
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 3: about the Bengals who are coming up. Yeah, but they're

686
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 3: they're playing worse than this, about anybody at for he

687
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: as the Steelers, Okay, I mean I would have the

688
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:13,319
Speaker 3: Steelers being less concerning than the Patriots, but behind the Saints.

689
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I mean I think the

690
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 2: Steelers at least have they get the buy coming up.

691
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 2: They're gonna get Cam Hayward back after They're going to

692
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 2: get Deontay Johnson back after that. And we know that,

693
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 2: Mike Tom and maybe that's what you're true Patriots. Maybe

694
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: you look at this going Okay, we know these coaches

695
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 2: aren't going to let this thing fall apart, right.

696
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 3: I don't think either team's picking in the top seven.

697
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 2: Or eight, right, you know, right? But yeah, I mean

698
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 2: that was a disappointing loss. At the same time, I

699
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 2: can't help but point out this game was sixteen to

700
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 2: six late in the fourth and in the third quarter,

701
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 2: and then it kind of like when the quarterback went down,

702
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 2: it kind of get just okay, it's over.

703
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure what barn Rolls criteria is, but

704
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 3: the Steelers are one game out of first place. I

705
00:34:57,040 --> 00:35:01,839
Speaker 3: think New England's too, yeah, and looks like a long

706
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 3: way away, you know, from Buffalo.

707
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 2: I am technically right now. The Steelers are in second

708
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: place in their division.

709
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're only behind Baltimore. Yeah, the division is not

710
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 3: looking great.

711
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 2: No, it does, it doesn't. At number five on this

712
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 2: list are the Cincinnati Bengals. They're another team that's two

713
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 2: games out. They got blown up by the Tennessee Titans.

714
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 2: Blown out, a team that the week before got blown

715
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 2: up by Cleveland, a team in your division. So I

716
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 2: said this a week ago and I still believe it.

717
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: The Bengals could still win the Super Bowl. I don't

718
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: know if they can right now, but they could all

719
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 2: think that. I don't think that this is ever going

720
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 2: to get I don't think this season this is going

721
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,360
Speaker 2: to get better for Burrow.

722
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 3: That's the thing. Like they need to tread water until

723
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 3: the bye and hope that the buye is the cure all,

724
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 3: which I don't know if it is. I mean, what

725
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 3: do I know by Joe burrowscause they.

726
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: Still have games against Kansas City.

727
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,919
Speaker 3: I mean the division stuffs bad. They got to play

728
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 3: the Bills like and their defense have been on the

729
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: field a lot and it's been average to okay, And

730
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 3: I still think their a line is not fixed. And

731
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: now Higgins is hurt, like this might be a six

732
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 3: and eleven year. It could be, and then next year

733
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: we're all talking about wait till they rebound after getting

734
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 3: you know, a good picky, they.

735
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: Go six and eleven, maybe seven and nine eight or

736
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 2: seven and ten, eight and nine. You know, they'll they'll

737
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 2: get it to maybe get it together at some point.

738
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,319
Speaker 2: But they're getting beat pretty bad. Right They don't have

739
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 2: they don't have a running game to fall back on

740
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 2: right now. That's that's part of the problem. The offensive

741
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 2: line you mentioned is is it worse than the Steelers

742
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 2: offensive line? It's hard to tell the Steelers offensive line

743
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 2: is not playing well.

744
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:56,480
Speaker 3: No, no, what any of us are saying, equal, right,

745
00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 3: It's it's different is their quarters? Now, That's why I

746
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 3: said it's hard to tell. Y Burrow doesn't help the matter.

747
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 2: At all, and they got run over on something like.

748
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 3: The defenses problematic. I mean, their offensive numbers are as

749
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:19,799
Speaker 3: bad as the Heelers, if not worse, they're worse. They're

750
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 3: at the bottom of the league.

751
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 2: And then you get the Falcons here at number six,

752
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 2: at two and two. That's the team that he feels

753
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 2: is in.

754
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 3: I don't know about that. Unlike all these other teams though,

755
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: I don't think they have a quarterback. I mean, I'm

756
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 3: not saying mac Jones and Picket or Burrow level guys

757
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 3: or even by the way two is playing, but they

758
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 3: can only play one way. Yeah, Fortunately for them, they

759
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:45,399
Speaker 3: have a lot of games that they should be able

760
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 3: to play that way going forward.

761
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 2: Well, the thing is when you look at Atlanta as well,

762
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 2: what does their defense do? Well?

763
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, no, I mean it used to

764
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 3: be terrible in everything. Now it's bad at rushing the

765
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 3: passer and okay, at some things.

766
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had three sacks going into that game on Sunday.

767
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if they got the Trevor Lawrence at all,

768
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 2: not that I remember, Yeah, and didn't disturb him. I

769
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: know that they might be trying to sign some of

770
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 2: those toy story players. Hey, pretty good, slinky dog, he

771
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 2: bends around the corner.

772
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, a good good edgebender on that guy. Give me

773
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 3: the dinosaur, mister potato head or yeah. I didn't watch

774
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 3: hardly any of that. I was on the air here

775
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 3: and then travel, you know, going back and forth.

776
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 2: But yeah, I watched some of it in the press box.

777
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 2: And I mean the Jaguars were in.

778
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 3: No, I mean I didn't watch any of the tall Yeah,

779
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 3: I didn't get to see any of that.

780
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 2: I saw a couple of snippets of it on online.

781
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: It was what.

782
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 3: It was funny though. My co host, Brian Peacock, he

783
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 3: has a five year old son who loved it, and

784
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,439
Speaker 3: then he wanted to watch the Lake Games.

785
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 2: There you go.

786
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 3: Mission accomplished to bring a new generation.

787
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 2: Probably better than all the Taylor Swift stuff in the Night.

788
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,919
Speaker 3: Game probably, but although so that brought in a bunch

789
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 3: of people too. You know, I don't think the NFL

790
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 3: is hurting for viewers.

791
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: No, I think so either. I Look, I don't mind

792
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 2: the Taylor Swift. That's great, do what you want, that's fantastic.

793
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: But I don't need the announcers to make a Taylor

794
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 2: Swift reference every five seconds.

795
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know what their intro was,

796
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 3: all Taylor Swift songs that they were like introducing the

797
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,480
Speaker 3: Swifties who don't know what a first down is, you

798
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 3: know whatever, But they all thought that would be a

799
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 3: terrible game. You know, we got to talk about Taylor

800
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 3: Swift because the Jets aren't gonna be competitive, and you

801
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 3: know it should have been Aaron Rodgers whatever. You know,

802
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: I really don't care what.

803
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 2: They ought to be. Trying to try to be clever though,

804
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 2: and you know, here's a Taylor Swift. You know, they'll

805
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 2: mention a Taylor Swift lyric like she's some kind of

806
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: genius with the lyrical genius here, and I'm like, it

807
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 2: goes right over the head of ninety percent of your

808
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 2: audience fellas, including me, including me as well, Like yesterday

809
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: it included that the uh the other enown sure like

810
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 2: cad I think he went over Collinsworth's head, like I

811
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 2: didn't know what they had, no idea what he's talking about.

812
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 3: No, I know like three of her songs. I know

813
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 3: I live under a rock, but you have a teenage daughter.

814
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,759
Speaker 3: I do, and I have a teenage daughter.

815
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: She didn't listen to Taylor Swift.

816
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 3: See, I was gonna bring that up because I don't

817
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 3: know if my teenage daughter, who in gym class the

818
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 3: other day, She's like, Dad, I learned about football. I

819
00:40:23,080 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 3: used to think, this is how little she knows. She's like,

820
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 3: I thought you had to count to five one thousand

821
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 3: before you could rush the past. She thought to be

822
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 3: one helmets in Ateshra Stadium. Actually did that up until

823
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 3: last week. But she almost tuned into that game to

824
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 3: see Taylor Swift. And she's not even that much of

825
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: a Swiftie, like she would have loved to go one

826
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 3: to the concert. But she almost sat there with me

827
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 3: for four seconds before she got bored and said, Dad,

828
00:40:46,200 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 3: this is stupid, But.

829
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 2: Where's Taylor Swift?

830
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, your job's a joke, you know. But but she

831
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 3: would have been a perfect example of Maybe she watches

832
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 3: that game for only that reason, hoping to see a

833
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 3: glimpse of Taylor Swift because people were talking about it,

834
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 3: so go check it out. She probably watched it on

835
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 3: Instagram or whatever. She probably more of it than I.

836
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. Whatever. The NFL is not hurting for viewers.

837
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 3: I'm a terrible father, though any of my siblings think

838
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 3: that you rush the pastor going how much of pads on?

839
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 2: Come on, well, I'm a terrible father for different reasons.

840
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 2: We used to have a We used to have a

841
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,840
Speaker 2: We tried this when my boys were young. My my

842
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 2: oldest son was like seven and the youngest was four,

843
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,479
Speaker 2: and say, let's let's do this. We'll have a We'll

844
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 2: have a Turkey Bowl game. Nice, we go over to

845
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,080

846
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: stiff arm. Well, my daughter wasn't around yet. So the

847
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 2: teams were me and my four year old son against

848
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: my wife and the seven year old.

849
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 3: And you're Dereck Henry and I'm out there and everybody that.

Speaker 3: Nice. She's a cute little thing too, Like she's no

Speaker 2: She got angry and that was the end of the

854
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 2: Turkey bull for the Lolly family.

857
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 3: I knew where this was going. I was hoping it

858
00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 3: was one of the boys you ran over.

00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,920

00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,839
Speaker 3: Reflect you know, you don't play your best guy. I mean,

880
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 3: obviously I'm not saying.

881
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 2: That the quarterback gives you the best chance to win.

882
00:43:32,080 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, but might not be the best thing, worst

883
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 3: thing for him mentally to not push it this week.

884

Speaker 3: Heineke total nobody? Y. Yeah, I mean there's actually somebody

891
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,680

00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 2: Marlon Humphrey has not played yet this season. And how

893
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,640

894
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:12,399
Speaker 2: surgery on August sixteenth, So.

895

Speaker 2: this week. Humphrey is returning this week. Here's the quote.

899
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 2: I'm hopeful he'll get back this week. I was hopeful

900
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 2: he'd be back last week. If it's not this week,

901
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,959
Speaker 2: it may probably be next week. He's in that range

902
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 2: right now. We'll see what happens. Oh, really, thanks for

903

Speaker 2: These guys are coaches a long time dance.

905
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 3: I was hopeful last week. Now I'm hopeful this week.

906
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 3: Of course, if it's not this week, then it'll be

907
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 3: next week. Like maybe we kept to that cool thanks,

00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 3: He was drafted. He's a guard. But yeah, yeah they

934
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 3: could use him.

935
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 2: That's a Thursday night games. I think it's like Chicago

936
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 2: and Washington. Yeah, Eddie Jackson, their safety, did not practice.

937
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 2: He is a foot issue. Neither did Jalen Johnson with

938
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 2: a hamstring. So that's two of their top defensive Yeah,

939
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:34,120
Speaker 2: they play a lot. Their defense are really bad. In

940
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 2: other news, Chase Claypool will remain away from the team

941
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 2: this week as Chicago prepares for its Thursday night game

942
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 2: against the Commanders. That's according to Matt Eberfluss. Claypool was

943
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 2: an active for Sunday's loss to the Broncos. They are

944
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: apparently trying to trade him a sixth and No, the

945
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,240
Speaker 2: Steelers should not trade out for Chase Claypool.

946
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 3: No, no, no need uh.

947
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor said Joe Burrow will start this week against

948
00:47:00,480 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 2: Arizona despite being limited as well. You know, as plucky

949
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 2: as Arizona has been this year, that's a dangerous game

950
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 2: for them.

951
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,320
Speaker 3: I mean I'll probably take the cards and the points.

952
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.

953
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,399
Speaker 3: Whatever it is, well that's going to be. But they've

954
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 3: been plucky. They play hard. They have a hard time

955
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 3: lasting for sixty minutes. Yeah, you know, they play forty

956
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 3: forty five minutes, really strong, and they got some dudes

957
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 3: on the team that people don't know about. Their better

958
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 3: players than anything.

959
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 2: T Higgins told reporters he does not believe his rib

960
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 2: injury will sideline him for a long period, and he

961
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: could potentially play this Sunday against the Cardinals depending on

962
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 2: pain tolerance.

963
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 3: That sounds like player being a tough guy. He's broken rid.

964
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,399
Speaker 3: I want to play, yeah, and I can get that,

965
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 3: but broken ribs, I'd be hard to play with.

966
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. For the Browns, Deshaan Watson was medically cleared to

967
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 2: play on Sunday, but did not feel comfortable. Ahead of

968
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:59,879
Speaker 2: Sunday's loss, Kevin Stefanski told reporters Ethan Posik There's cent

969
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,280
Speaker 2: is considered day to day with a knee with knee

970
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 2: and chest injuries.

971
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 3: Okay, makes me think Watson's probably back next week, though.

972
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett is dealing with a foot injury and he's

973
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 2: considered day to day, but he's expected to be okay.

974
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 2: Remember he had that in training camp too.

975
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 3: Oh really, I didn't remember.

976
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:20,560
Speaker 2: There was a foot injury there. He tweaked a foot

977
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,439
Speaker 2: and remember he was walking around in his bare feet

978
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,320
Speaker 2: at training camp. Yeah, so this is that's that Bears

979
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 2: washing might be more than they're letting on. Yeah. Uh.

980
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: For the Cowboys, Rico dald Ole has a hip. He

981
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,280
Speaker 2: has a chance to play Sunday night against San Francisco.

982
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 2: What any game that's it's a good one.

983
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 3: He left and didn't come back though, Yeah, but they

984
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 3: were winning big.

985
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: Tyran Smith is Tyrone Smith, I should say, dear, we're

986
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:46,720
Speaker 2: just talking Game of Thrones.

Speaker 1: Off.

988
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 2: Tyron Smith is doing better and is hopeful to at

989
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 2: least be limited in practice this week. He's got a knee.

990
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 2: Zach Martin, with a quad, also has a chance of

991
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 2: returning this week, and Micah Parsons with an ankle might

992
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 2: be limited early in the week, but that's not a concern.

993
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 3: According to Mike McCrae, he got hurt in the game

994
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,600

999
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:20,799

Speaker 2: He was ejected from that game.

1017
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought ejection was a bit much. I watched

1018
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:12,799

1019
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,239
