1
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: At least.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: And we are back. I am Dale Lollly, he is

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: the Matt Williamson and this is kicking off our number

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 1: two of the Drive here on Steelers Nation Radio. And

8
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: as we do the kick off our number two, it's

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 1: time to take a look at the Fantasy Football Focus

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: and we'll take a look at this week's top performers.

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: And Matt only one three hundred yard passers.

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: Hey, it was the week of the running back. Yeah,

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,160
Speaker 3: big running back week.

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen twenty one to thirty three for three hundred

15
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: and twenty three yards, two touchdowns in that game against

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. They were down for a long rust

17
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 1: of that game right and came back in one. Jared

18
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Goff had two eighty and two touchdowns. Played really well.

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: Drake May two seventy six and two touchdowns. He makes

20
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: some throws, but he doesn't pass the eye test to me. Oh,

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: I love him. I will disagree on that one. He

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: is nothing around him. I understand that, but he just

23
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: still makes some throws. I'm like, where was he trying

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: to go with that?

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: Oh, there's some of those, for sure, But for fantasy,

26
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 3: I think he's a great asset for fantasy. I have

27
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 3: no problem to build a team around him.

28
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: I like him a lot. Aaron Rodgers two seventy six

29
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: to one touchdown, two interceptions. He did not play well. No,

30
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: I didn't think so either. Hey, the six passes that

31
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: he threw to Brice Hall traveled about a total of

32
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: fifteen yards, and Breese Hall did everything. Yes. Side of that,

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 1: there was there were no.

34
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 3: He missed something, he missed it, some ones he usually

35
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 3: doesn't miss. And there weren't many wow throws. He usually

36
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 3: has a couple of wild throws. I didn't see hardly.

37
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: Any of those. Yeah, I didn't see that. Russell Wilson

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: actually fifth two sixty four and two touchdowns, just ahead

39
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: of Sam Darnold, Kirk Cousins. Some of these guys didn't

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: play well. Jordan Love did it again, only two hundred

41
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: and twenty yards, but three more touchdown passes.

42
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: He throws the ball the end zone, and he's got

43
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 3: good receivers and he's a heck of talent.

44
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: In fact, those three touchdown passes were the high for

45
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: the week. Nobody else had more than two. So it

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a big passing weekend in the NFL.

47
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: And it wasn't like there's a ton of weather or.

48
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: Anything like that. You mentioned the running backs, but there

49
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: were only six that had one hundred yard game. That

50
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: was Saquon Barkley won seventy six an a touchdown, Tank

51
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: Bigsby won eighteen and two scores, Jamiir Gibbs fifteen for

52
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: one sixteen and two scores. It was the big day

53
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: for running backs getting a couple of touchdowns. There's a

54
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: bunch of those.

55
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: I said, there's a lot of fantasy points. Maybe there

56
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: was a running back yardage.

57
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon twenty five for one to fifteen and two touchdowns,

58
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: Bjeon Robinson twenty one for one oh three in a touchdown,

59
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: Nagie Harris twenty one for one oh two and the touchdown.

60
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: Those guys that scored multiple touchdowns were Javonte Williams had two.

61
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Kareem Hunt had to he only haver his

62
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,399
Speaker 1: three point five yards to carry the Yeah, it wasn't

63
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: easy going. Uh you also had Kien Williams with two.

64
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 3: Okay, so yeah, but I mean there were a lot

65
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: of the higher drafted guys and people you invested in,

66
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 3: and you know it was not It was a good

67
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: running back week for fantasy for sure.

68
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. Looking at the receivers, well, if there weren't a

69
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: lot of one hundred yard or three hundred yard passers,

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: there probably weren't a lot of one hundred yard receivers.

71
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: And there were only four twenty four. Keyon Coleman four

72
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: for one twenty five. Nobody saw that one come out.

73
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely Cooper played, but not every snap. He scored a

74
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: touchdown too.

75
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: They threw it to him when he was out there too. Yeah, Yeah,

76
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: I mean he's gonna be fine.

77
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: Aman Ross Saint Brown eight for one to twelve in

78
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He's back to be in this star, you know,

79
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: George George Pickens five for one eleven in a touchdown.

80
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: And this is what Wilson does for the Steelers offense.

81
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: This unlocks pickings. This is what I expect to see,

82
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: maybe not five for one eleven and a touchdown every week.

83
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: I think five's the floor. Five's the floor. And if

84
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: he catches passes, I mean he's averaging fifteen yards of catch. Yeah,

85
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: so do the math. Five for seventy five might be

86
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: your floor moving forward.

87
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: I mean, fantasy owners should be happy about the quarterback.

88
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Chaine, absolutely, and immediately it's like he got to uh

89
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: end zone touchdown. They're throwing the ball in the end

90
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: to them, at least at least two that I can

91
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: remember that were targeting. It might have been three targets

92
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: in the end number in this game. And that's what

93
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: you want to see when you give that guy a

94
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: chance to catch the ball in the end zone.

95
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were perfect in the red zone. You know,

96
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: they're throwing the ball over the stripe. I mean, I

97
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: think that's things you get time to get used to.

98
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: Brice Hall was the other one, six for one oh three,

99
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: so two of the one hundred receivers in the same game.

100
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 3: A lot of it in one play on him. Yeah,

101
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 3: he's back for fantasy too. They're they're featuring him a lot.

102
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. DK Metcalf just missed four for ninety nine and

103
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: the touchdown. Get the knee banged up, It's not it's

104
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: nothing long term. Okay, Yeah, we'll see if he's back

105
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: this week. But I think that was more getting a

106
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: contusion more than anything else. Terry McLaurin six for ninety eight,

107
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: didn't score, but six for ninety eight you like from Mariota. Yeah,

108
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: your guy John Smith seven for ninety six and a touchdown.

109
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: I thought about him a little yesterday.

110
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: I'm not running to the waiver wire form or anything,

111
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: but two is practicing and sounds like that offense has

112
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: a chance to get better.

113
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: It can't be much worse, really bad. Yeah yeah. Romeo

114
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: Dobbs eight for ninety four didn't score, But those Packer

115
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: receivers are tough. Man, who's it going to be each

116
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: each week? Brock Bowers ten for ninety three didn't score,

117
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: but he's now the NFL's leading receptions.

118
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 3: One of the games I watched the least of, but

119
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure they're throwing it to him like they always

120
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: do at the line of scrimmage, you know, a couple

121
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 3: of yards down.

122
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: He's been extremely efficient. I think I was looking. He

123
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: has targets are all the matter. He has like forty

124
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: seven catches on like fifty five targets. That sounds yeah.

125
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 3: I bet it's a real low average up the target

126
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: still and they're getting it to him a lot.

127
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: But he's averaging ten yards of catch. Yeah. Good. After

128
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: the CA Yeah, it's all they got Hunter Henry eight

129
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 1: for ninety two. You believe it in that?

130
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am. I don't throw the ball a lot.

131
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: He's been pretty solid the last year or so.

132
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: George Kittle six for ninety two. Kansas City's kind of

133
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: been a tight end funnel a little bit. They've they've

134
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: struggled against tight ends, but the one thing that they

135
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: have struggled against defensively out for the year.

136
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, Deebo was sick in this game and he looked

137
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: terrible by the way. Yeah, I don't want what he has,

138
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 3: but I think I've being out helps Kittle for sure. Yeah,

139
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: I think he's top three or four rest of the

140
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 3: way tight.

141
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: End well, and you're gonna also see Juwan Jennings. Oh yeah,

142
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: if you if you picked him up a few weeks

143
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: ago when he had the big monster game that nobody

144
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 1: expected and you held on to him, a lot of

145
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: people probably cut him since that. Yeah, right, Like, if

146
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 1: that's the case, he'll be the number one waiver wire

147
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: pick up this week.

148
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 3: I would think. And do you have any interest in Pierceall?

149
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: Not really, I just because I like the player coming out.

150
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,359
Speaker 3: I'd have to see a game or two.

151
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you have one for six yards. I don't

152
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: even know what's It's almost like the Roman Wilson argument,

153
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: like you're trying to get on a moving train. Yeah,

154
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: like it's that's tough. It's real tough. Now, he may

155
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: have more opportunities because of the injuries, but he was

156
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: also a first round pick and Roman Wilson was a third.

157
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's just he always had a couple of receiver

158
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 3: injuries ahead of Roman, he'd.

159
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: He'd have opportunity. Yeah. A J. Brown five for eighty

160
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: nine in a score, he's legit. Yeah, Brian Thomas five

161
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: for eighty nine in a score. Star T. Higgins four

162
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: for eighty two in a score. He's at quietly have

163
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: a pretty good year. Yeah.

164
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, last year was a lot of injuries. This year,

165
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 3: I think he's T Higgins.

166
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: Which is a really good player, and teams are really

167
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: working hard to take Chase out of the game and

168
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: make make Higgins beat them, and okay, we.

169
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 3: Know how this league works. I mean, and then Higgins

170
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 3: will have a slow day and Chase will blow up,

171
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 3: and they when they start balancing things out or you know,

172
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: they're hard to play against the passing game.

173
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: Cedric Tillman and Cleveland had eight for eighty one.

174
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 3: I liked him coming out of school. Cooper's gone. He

175
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 3: plays the same position as Jerry. Judy was an afterthought.

176
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: And there doesn't count anymore. I mean, somebody has to

177
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: tell might be the guy. Yeah.

178
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: I think it's good for Najoku, who's been pretty consistent.

179
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 3: I think it's good for Tillman. Might be early to

180
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,679
Speaker 3: pick him up now. I assume Jamis is the starter

181
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: from here on.

182
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: I think you pick him up now, and you know,

183
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: of all the game. Yeah, you don't want to You

184
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: don't want to wait too long.

185
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: Nothing as a rookie, nothing until really yesterday. But I

186
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 3: like the player coming out justin.

187
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: Jefferson had seven for eighty one in the touchdown you

188
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: mentioned in Djoku. He had ten for seventy six in

189
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Okay, another volume guy. Yeah, long game of

190
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: fifteen yards, so it was a lot of yeah power

191
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: catch Yeah. Uh. Jalen Naylor from Minnesota for for seventy six.

192
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: He's not going away? Is Addison out? No? I didn't

193
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: think so. I mean, yeah, okay, that was kind of

194
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: a shootout type game. Yeah, he's number three. I don't

195
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: love Addison Amari Cooper four for sixty six in the score.

196
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: You'll take that for him being like fifty percent snapcount.

197
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: Guy Noah Gray in Kansas City four for sixty six,

198
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: out caught Kelsey. I wonder if he took over the

199
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: juju stuff, maybe because yeah, Juju's I got a hair from.

200
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: He's going to be out again this week. Yeah, they've

201
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:29,679
Speaker 1: already said that.

202
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I wonder how that went. I need

203
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 3: to dig more into how that affected the pecking order.

204
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: But it's interesting for sure. They play a lot of

205
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: two and three tight end sets. Yeah, Jordan Addison had

206
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: three for sixty six, so it's not like he didn't

207
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: do anything in that game. Kyle Pitts that game, Kyle

208
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: Pitts had seven for sixty five. I think in the

209
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: last three games he has seventeen catches.

210
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 3: Yeah he is he back being a top twelve Yeah yeah,

211
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 3: oh yeah, yeah, I think so.

212
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: I mean, because what you want consistency like that's always

213
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: been an issue of the top ten tight ends this

214
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: week and we just get on through this list and

215
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of guys, a bunch of tight ends

216
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: on the list here. But in terms of scoring, this week.

217
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: What's his face from the from Conklin ended up as

218
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 1: a top ten point producer this week in Fantasy Football.

219
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Four catches for seven yards and a touchdown for seven yards.

220
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: Four catches for seven yards in a touchdowns got you

221
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: into the top ten tight end finish. Kelsey was not.

222
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: Kelsey was not. We'll see about Andrews and some of

223
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: these other guys tonight, but yeah, you know McBride's playing.

224
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think there's some good ones tonight. I

225
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 3: mean McBride to be rival my top ones going forward.

226
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 3: Bowers is definitely on the top of the list. I

227
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: think Kelsey still is. Here's the guys you really want

228
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 3: that are top five type dudes, and they're still gonna

229
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 3: have down weeks.

230
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: It's bleak is bleakh Khalioshakira had seven for sixty five.

231
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so he was He's just a good player. I

232
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: don't think he's real change.

233
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: He's kind of I mean he's a slot.

234
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's a slot and they trust him. He can

235
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: beat man coverage to Cooper's there to elevate him and yeah,

236
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: take some pressure.

237
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: Off and make their passing game again. Much like with

238
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,839
Speaker 1: the Steelers with Russell Wilson. They went out, The Bills

239
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: went out and acquired Amurray Cooper because their guys weren't

240
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: getting open no and so, and they had to unlock.

241
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 1: They had to unlock the passing game a little bit.

242
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: And it Allen was the only three interpasser and they

243
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: didn't have to rely on the pass entirely. I think

244
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 3: their offense is not one of the best in the league.

245
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh Noah Fant had four for sixty five.

246
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 3: Gino was on fire in this game. Yeah, they played.

247
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: He's been good all year, but he was really really

248
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: good in this game. Drake London six for sixty three.

249
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 1: That's kind of like his normal and a touchdown on anything. Right,

250
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: He's solid. He's been really good. Uh. Pittman three for

251
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: sixty three. I know.

252
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 3: I think Downs had one catch for nine yards too.

253
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: I mean, like the good receivers are, can't give them football.

254
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: How about this one, Matt Jatavian Sanders six for sixty one.

255
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: You believe it in that one.

256
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're the if you try to think

257
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: like the Panthers think, you got to play him, the

258
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: rest of you get to play him. I mean Bryce

259
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 3: Young came at the end of the game. Might we

260
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 3: see more of him? That would be terrible. But I'm

261
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 3: just saying, like, I'm probably gonna play Brooks a little

262
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 3: bit when he comes back, Like you gotta play young

263
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 3: guys across the board on that team.

264
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think I'm with you one hundred percent on that,

265
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: because where are you going this year or nowhere? And

266
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: you got to find out about Bryce Young. You've given

267
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton a shot, all right, It gave you a

268
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: shot in the arm offensively for a few weeks professional outing.

269
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: You know, you allowed Young to sit and watch and Okay,

270
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: now you've had a month of him sitting and watching.

271
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: Did he learn anything? Did you learn anything?

272
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: And the offense now has a little bit more confidence

273
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 3: and they have a little bit of a running game

274
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: and all those.

275
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: Good Hey, look, if you throw the ball to Deontay Johnson,

276
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: some good things might happen. You know, I think they

277
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: lost forty to seven yesterday, though they did lose forty

278
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: to seven yesterday that they did.

279
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: Quick fantasy note you know in our league, like if

280
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 3: you told me yesterday Washington wins this game forty to seven,

281
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: I would have thought my starting quarterback Jaden Daniels would

282
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 3: have had more than five points, but.

283
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: There was a that's the thing that all the points

284
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: are left. It's been fantasy football this year. So if

285
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: you started a lineup this weekend, everybody gets injured early. Yeah,

286
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: it zero's left and right. If you started a lineup

287
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: that included Deebo Samuel, right, Tank Dell, Ju Juju, you

288
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: got me at zero. You got hurt in the first one.

289
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins. Yeah, and I could I could see somebody's

290
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: putting a lineup some there's something there's send me the lineup,

291
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: because I guarantee you there's somebody out there that had

292
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel is their number one receiver and Tank Dell

293
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: is their number two, and maybe Juju was in their

294
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: lineup as their three. And you took a zero across

295
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: the board at the running at their wide receiver position.

296
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and maybe you had Kelsey and Jayden Daniels and

297
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: you know you've been winning game.

298
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: There was one somebody tweeted it out last week where

299
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: somebody started the lineup that had legit dudes in it.

300
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, like it's not a like they're winning. Probability before

301
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: kickoff was probably good.

302
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: You know, they scored seven Fantasy points seven. I mean,

303
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable some of the stuff that's happening this year,

304
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: and it's affected our DFS lineups. Yeah, every week my main.

305
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 3: League, he started Stroud and Dell and I'm like, oh, man,

306
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 3: I might be in trouble, you know, no, no, like

307
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 3: four points zero, you know, our DFS lineup, matt oh

308
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 3: good lord. I wish we'd have known on Friday that

309
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup wasn't going to play because we changed. We

310
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 3: would not have started Matthew Stafford knew we had in

311
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: the line up. First he had four point nine six points.

312
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: Now we still have JK.

313
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: Dobbins and Chris Gobwin going tonight, so there's still a

314
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: chance they both of them do well that we could.

315
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: But right now we've got forty eight points I'm sorry,

316
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: forty four point nine six points. They would both have

317
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: to score like thirty each and that would still only

318
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: get us. But it's still good lucky. Yeah, we'd have

319
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: to some things would have to go. But it wasn't

320
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,359
Speaker 1: about high point win, No, it wasn't. So that possibility

321
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: is there, like one hundred.

322
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 3: Points in most leagues wins it, you know, pretty easily

323
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: this week?

324
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: This week, yeah, Jalen Warren got a seven point nine points.

325
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: He was only two point six percent of it, but

326
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: I did like the usage and he got a goal

327
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: line he got a goal line carry, you know, so

328
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: there again, I think that there'll be more passes coming

329
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: his way. Rush for forty four actually out rushed Briest

330
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: Hall in that game. Yeah, yeah, so I think that's

331
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: only going to get better. As I mentioned, we got

332
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: Godwin going tonight, Tank Dell we took a zero. I

333
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: mean that can't happen.

334
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 3: No, I mean, just in the real world. You don't

335
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: have Nico, who's really been maybe the best receiver in

336
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 3: league this year most give or take. But that can't

337
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: be your only reason for struggling on offense as much.

338
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: Today.

339
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 3: They got too many other good dudes. And you go

340
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: into the Green Bay and Diggs and Dell, they ended

341
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: up like twenty seven yards between them.

342
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dalton Schultz had one catch for twenty eight yards.

343
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: That was their leading receiver. He was a lead receiver.

344
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew Diggs was in the twenty five ish neighborhood,

345
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: right and he had like six catches.

346
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's going on? Jackson Smith and Jigba got off

347
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 1: to a good start in that game. Actually threw a

348
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 1: thirty five yard pass. Yeah, but five point three points

349
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: and so it was a metcalf and fant Yeah, doing

350
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: most of the damn. I don't think Lockett did a

351
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: lot of Lockett was injured going into that game. Sam

352
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: Laporta is unstartable at this point. Yeah, it's brutal.

353
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 3: He's he's like the poster boy of tight end you

354
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 3: drafted high that you're mad at this year. You know.

355
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, one catch for twenty five yards and he looked

356
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: good doing it, and they just don't throw the ball

357
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: to him.

358
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 3: No, they have so many weapons and they run the ball.

359
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: They're never going to be a super high pass percentage team.

360
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 3: Williams takes some big plays away. There was a little

361
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: bit of a warning sign though with Laporta last year,

362
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 3: like he caught.

363
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: An unusual very touchdown, Yeah, very touchdown to pen then

364
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: really hard to do plicate, but the other numbers weren't. Like,

365
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: he's looked good. He's not even catching passes now though,

366
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: they're not even throwing him passes now. Now, it's weird.

367
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: It's crazy because he's a good football player. Brock Bauers

368
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: is the exact opposite they are throwing. We had him

369
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: in the lineup, as did sixteen point eight percent of

370
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: the other teams in this league. He got us nineteen

371
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: point three points, so basically half of our points. I say,

372
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: he's working from one guy. Yeah, and he was. He's

373
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: only fifty eight hundred. That's probably as cheap as we'll

374
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: get him the rest of the year.

375
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I bet he's tight end two three one, you know,

376
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 3: something like that. He's upcoming weeks.

377
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: The Giants defense at twenty five hundred was they got

378
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 1: us four points. They had five sacks. They gave up

379
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: way too many points because their offense did nothing well.

380
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: There was eleven sacks in that game.

381
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna hear the word sack a lot in

382
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: the next couple of days, folks.

383
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did start the lineup. I started myself. Is

384
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: in the money right now with two players left to play.

385
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm sitting right this again. This shows you how low

386
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: of a scoring week it was. I've got eighty seven

387
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: point nine points right now with two guys left to play,

388
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: and I'm in the money. In fact, I'm in seventy

389
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: eighth place and one that I'm in.

390
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 3: It almost seems like lately, the whole key is just

391
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 3: don't get his zero, don't take a zero, yeah, which,

392
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: of course nobody knows going in, but these guys that

393
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 3: get hurt walking in, you know.

394
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: So I started Mason Rudolph at quarterback. We considered it.

395
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm gona he's super cheap, right. We don't know, we

396
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: didn't we didn't know he was starting yet. Yeah, we

397
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: texted each other. See he had eleven point nine points.

398
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: He had twice as many points as Matthew Stafford. Yeah.

399
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: I also just unusually. Yeah. I also started Jaylen Warren.

400
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: That was a seven point nine. I started Tony Pollard

401
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: only show in town. Yeah, only show in town, eight

402
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 1: point five points. It wasn't great. He had sixty one

403
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: rushing yards but only two catches for four yards. That

404
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: kind of stunk. I still have Chris Goblin is a

405
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: flowers going tonight, so I should finish in the money.

406
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: I would think I'd be shocked if they both have

407
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 3: low nights.

408
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: And they were seventy one hundred and sixty six hundred.

409
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: I started Metcalf nineteen point nine points, set only seven

410
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: point four percent ownership. Was kind of surprise with that,

411
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: because I thought that game was going to be a shootout. Yeah.

412
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 3: I just remember picking through the receivers though there was

413
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: a lot to like.

414
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, well apparently not hit on, but there was a

415
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: lot we liked. I started Kyle Pitts at the tight

416
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 1: end position forty five hundred dollars. He costs thirteen and

417
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: a half points. Oh, you definitely got your money out

418
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: of that. Yeah, no doubt. I also started Kittle in

419
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 1: the flex. It's six fifteen point two points, so that

420
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 1: worked out. Okayt touchdown right, Yeah. I started the Vikings

421
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: defense at twenty nine hundred dollars.

422
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 3: The great defense is against the.

423
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: They scored a defensive touchdown. They had four sacks at

424
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: fumble recovery.

425
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 3: Their top three defense going forward.

426
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, and their schedule moving forward, like I picked them

427
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: up in our league.

428
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's all the teams you want to play.

429
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,719
Speaker 1: It's everybody that you want to play over like the

430
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: next six weeks. And they've already had their buy they've

431
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: already played like the Niners. Yeah. Pack, I've been streaming

432
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: defenses all year long. I'm not streaming am I just

433
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: hold on to them the rest of the year. Yeah,

434
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: that's one of the ones. Yeah, So why not so

435
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: that one should finish in the money. I need to

436
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: start taking some of this over into the one that

437
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: I would suggesting. Zeros are just you can't do it.

438
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 1: You can't like if you just can't do it.

439
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 3: My two leagues i've taken, it seems like every week

440
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 3: I have one in each league.

441
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's like man, but right now, the leader, well,

442
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: the leader in points in both of the contests that

443
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 1: we're in, or the one that I'm in and the

444
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: one that wen is one hundred and thirty six point

445
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: eight four points. It's probably the same four team. It's

446
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: probably the same person, but because it's just too weird

447
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: for to be one hundred and thirty six point eight

448
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: four points for both of them. But that's really low.

449
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 1: Usually the winner for a week is like one hundred

450
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: and one hundred and seventies.

451
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: I mean, there's four teams still to go. But still,

452
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 3: if you're leading, you probably have the majority of you

453
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 3: guys already played.

454
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: Probably if you had one hundred and thirty six point

455
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 1: eight four points this particular week, you're probably done. You're

456
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: in good chase. Yeah, you're probably done though, probably right Yeah,

457
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: go around. It's just a it's a off fantasy.

458
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 3: Week, it was, and there were some big game to

459
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 3: buy some running backs, you know, I mean that Barkley

460
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 3: and you know some of those guys.

461
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: Went, but you had to pay up big time to

462
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: get Barkley. Yeah, big time. I wasn't even thinking the DFS.

463
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 3: I was saying, if you're if you're a good strong backfield,

464
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 3: and maybe you took a zero somewhere else.

465
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: You could overcome it. Yeah, maybe you could overcome it,

466
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: but you could you can't overcome it in DFS. You

467
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: just can't. No, you know, not unless unless you just

468
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: paid down for you threw somebody in the lineup for

469
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars a touchdown or something. Yeah, or took

470
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 1: you take it. You take that zero zero, Yeah, you

471
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: pay up for everybody else and go get justin Jefferson

472
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: and you know, yeah it quon Barkley and just roll

473
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, you might want to try that, because yuck.

474
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: I mean it's like three weeks in a row now

475
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: we've had somebody in our line up take a zero zero, Right,

476
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: just can't win. That just can't win.

477
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: And Stafford was almost like that because of the Cup situation.

478
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just he's not throwing touchdown passes.

479
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: They run the ball a lot. I played bad team.

480
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, they played a bad team and scored twenty points. Yeah,

481
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: so ugly, ugly. Anyways, let's get to a break. He

482
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: is the Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lolly. You're listening

483
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: to the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network. I

484
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: swear to God if you're a new listener to this show.

485
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: Our DFS lineups probably hit fourteen of the eighteen weeks

486
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 1: last year.

487
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 3: Tyler's over there like, yeah, sure, yeah, I've been there

488
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 3: everywhere much better again.

489
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: I've the lineup that I've put together every week. I

490
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: think I've hit and every week but one. Yeah.

491
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 3: I mean we've done this for several years and we

492
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 3: always made money, I mean to say the least.

493
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's just this year's been a rough one. Partners, Yeah,

494
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: this one's been a rough one. But anyways, let's get

495
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: to a break. He is Matt Williamson, I'm Dale Lolly.

496
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: We'll be back with more right after this. At least.

497
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

498
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven Home of the Black and

499
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

500
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 1: And we are back I'm Dale, Lolly. He is the

501
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson and Matt Steelers, winning thirty seven to fifteen

502
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the New York Jets, and a lot

503
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: of people. You know, you saw a lot of stuff

504
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: going into the week after they acquired Devonte Adams. Yeah,

505
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: is this the best skill position group in the league?

506
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: I said it was. I still think it is, But

507
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that Aaron Rodgers is five years ago.

508
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: If Aaron Rodgers had those pass catchers in that running back,

509
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: I'd be like, Oh, that's dangerous. He's not that guy anymore.

510
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 3: No, I've seen a lot of flashes from this year

511
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 3: that are really impressive, but more bad. There's so many

512
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 3: more bad than usual for him, which is still maybe

513
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: less than Joe average starter. I don't think he's Joe

514
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 3: average starter right now, but he does want to hold football.

515
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think he trusts protection all that ouch.

516
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 3: It was decent yesterday, but the ball came out so quick.

517
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be a Breeze Hall centric team.

518
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 3: And you hate say it, but I felt like that

519
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 3: was a close to a must win for them. You know, like,

520
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 3: could the Adams trade be all for nothing.

521
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: And they went out and went and signed, you know,

522
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: made a deal to agree to terms with the edge rusher.

523
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Reddick it was practicing again this week.

524
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: So he'll play next week. You know. The owner, Woody

525
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 1: Johnson is at the owners meetings on Tuesday saying we're

526
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: gonna kick you know what the rest of the way.

527
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: He two wins, got two wins, and now you're too

528
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: and five mean you made up a big splash play.

529
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: You went and got Aaron Rodgers' wooby and he was

530
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: three of nine throwing the DeVante Adams. Yeah, I don't know.

531
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 3: There was part of me the thought, you win this

532
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,439
Speaker 3: game in Pittsburgh, which wouldn't have been easy, you know,

533
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 3: looking at from their perspective, you could get back in

534
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 3: the race in the AFC. I don't think their upcoming

535
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 3: schedules super hard. I think they get New England this week.

536
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,439
Speaker 3: I looked at it and wasn't blown away by They

537
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: look like a TI team, but they look old and tired,

538
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: which is what we said all summer. You know that

539
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 3: like Tyrone Smith looks really stiff, and you know, like

540
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 3: those older dudes just or hanging on you know, I

541
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 3: mean it's a weird team build. Yeah, and you lost

542
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 3: straight coach, I mean your head coach.

543
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: Elijah Vera. Tucker got hurt in that game. Yeah, offensive lineman.

544
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: You know, they were already without two of the top cornerbacks.

545
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 1: I mean they took they took some major playing. The

546
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: Steelers beat you up.

547
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 3: It does physically, it absolutely does. Do you think the

548
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 3: Jets are out of the playoff picks?

549
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: Yes? Two and five? Right, two and five? Yeah, I

550
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: mean it's it's definitely an uphill climb, like I like,

551
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: since he's chances better yeah, yeah, and since he's three

552
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: and four now, so they're in a lot better situation.

553
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: You like, the Colts chances better? Is Flacco playing? I mean,

554
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what just Jammy if of plays this week? Miami.

555
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: Miami and the Jets are kind of in a similar

556
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 1: spot right right, But at least Miami's already had their

557
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: buy so they're only two and four, So it's four

558
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: losses right now, where the Jets are two and five

559
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: and they're two and three in conference. That's the that's

560
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 1: the big both teams are.

561
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 3: Actually they played great, but that was at least a

562
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: winnable game that they you know, considering their opponent, like

563
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 3: that was a tough loss, and the Jets loss was

564
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 3: maybe a critical loss.

565
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: And here's the thing about the AFC. You start looking

566
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: at conference records. Right, here's a four to one. Buffalo's

567
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: four and two in the conference. The Steelers are four

568
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: and one, The Ravens are two and two in the conference. Yeah,

569
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: Houston is four and oh, Indianapolis is now three and two,

570
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: and Kansas City's three and oh. Those are the only

571
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: teams in the conference. So you're looking at Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Houston, Indianapolis,

572
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: and Kansas City are the only teams in the conference

573
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: who have winning records. The Jets conference record two and three.

574
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: They had nothing going for him, really, Yeah, the Bengals

575
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 1: are one and three. I know they had some tough losses. Yeah,

576
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,679
Speaker 1: you know, you're looking at Jacksonville. You think Jacksonville can

577
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: turn it back. They're two and four in the conference?

578
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: Probably not? Probably not. I mean the Chargers and Broncos

579
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: are both two and two. The Raiders are two and three.

580
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: Like, Chargers win the night could go a long way

581
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: for their chances.

582
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they would be sitting pretty Yeah, and I didn't

583
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: think they were a playoff team, but the schedule was

584
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: not super hard. That's what say.

585
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 3: Their schedule is not bad. And I thought they were

586
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: a year away from being a playoff team, and I

587
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 3: still think they probably are.

588
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: But what's in what the AFC is right now?

589
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 3: I thought the Browns would be competitive, Miami be better.

590
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 3: I thought the Jets would be better. I thought the

591
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 3: Jags would be better, you know, like most teams. Listen

592
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 3: to what we're saying.

593
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 1: Though, the teams that you just mentioned are all the

594
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: teams that you should never trust.

595
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 3: Oh it's always like that Browns, right right, right?

596
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely? I mean who trusts those teams in history? Right

597
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: since they've been established. Yeah, you just can't trust those franchises.

598
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: Not that you can really trust the Chargers. No, it's

599
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: more trusting Harbaugh at this point. Yes, they could go

600
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: they could go lose the Cardinals tonight and I wouldn't

601
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: be shocked.

602
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 3: Oh no, I wouldn't be shocked at all. Like I'll

603
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: pick them the win. I'll yeah, but won the ball

604
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 3: and all that. But I don't think they're great.

605
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: No, I mean, so the AFC again, I think the

606
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: FC's is weaker than I expected. I think right now

607
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: there are five good teams in the a.

608
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: FC, the division leaders and the Steelers, Dealers, Ravens, Yeah

609
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 3: uh yeah, good teams, yeah, good teams, and then the

610
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: other one.

611
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: I think those five teams and you can put Kansas City,

612
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: you could put Baltimore on a on a tier of

613
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: their own. I don't know however you want to do that,

614
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: but I think and maybe even Buffalo now that they've

615
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: got Amari Cooper. But I think the Steelers are in

616
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: that they're.

617
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 3: In the top five tier. Yeah, who's six? Maybe the Chargers,

618
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 3: maybe the Chargers and again it's kind of by the fall.

619
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a that's a team the Steelers

620
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: handled pretty easily. I'm not willing to say Denver no

621
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: no or maybe since he maybe since he, but they've

622
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: got major flaws.

623
00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 3: A month from now, I might say the Jets are myami,

624
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: but they have a lot of digging to do.

625
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, A quarterbacks have to be starved. Is are things

626
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: going to get better for those old guys? Well, here's

627
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: what they got. They have the Patriots, then they play

628
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: the Texans, they're at Arizona. Then they get the Colts,

629
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: Seahawks at the Dolphins, at the Jaguars, Rams who should

630
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: have pooking the coup and Cooper cup back. By that

631
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: point at the Bills and the Dolphins at home.

632
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 3: It's not awful, but they have to play better.

633
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: But there's probably can I can I count three losses

634
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: there at least probably? Yeah, they're not beating the Texans

635
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: playing the way they are right now.

636
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: No, I mean there's handful. I mean some of those

637
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 3: games are too far along to speculate, but if they

638
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 3: played today, they wouldn't be favored over all those teams.

639
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: There'd be two or three that.

640
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: Well, they're not gonna they're not going to be favored

641
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: against the Texans. No, they're not going to be favored

642
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: against the Bills in Buffaloo. No, they're not going to

643
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: be favored against the Dolphins in Miami. I assuming Too

644
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: is back, I would know they're going to be favored

645
00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: against the Seahawks. Not if they played today. So I

646
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: mean that would be four losses right there. Just losing

647
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: the games that that's nine losses.

648
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 3: The big thing I said about the Jets too, which

649
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: is the total opposite of what happened, was I thought

650
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 3: they would start the season real strong.

651
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah and fade, you know what I mean?

652
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: Just age injuries to start showing up lack of depth,

653
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: and then when you get off to a bad start,

654
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 3: it's hard to dig out of that. Yeah, one of

655
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: these teams were right and off though, we'll merge.

656
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: Well, the Bengals right now they got a big game

657
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: against the Eagles aren't playing either, but it's a big

658
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: game for both teams. Eagles aren't guaranteed anything, No, but

659
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: that game is in Cincinnati. They gotta win that one.

660
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: Then they get the Raiders, Then they're at the Ravens,

661
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: Then they're at the Chargers. That's to tea.

662
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 3: Then they got the Steelers. Sounds like they better win

663
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 3: their next to Then.

664
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: They're at Dallas, who by that point should have Michael

665
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: Parsons back. Yeah, you would think at the Titans, Brown's

666
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: at home against the Broncos, and then at the Steelers.

667
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: How many games are they favored in the rest of

668
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: the way Eagles games at home. I haven't looked at

669
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: any of the lines yet.

670
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 3: That's probably would say it's pretty close.

671
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: Cincinnati by a point or two. Yeah, somewhere in that range.

672
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: They'll be favored against the Raiders. They're not going to

673
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: be favored in Baltimore, No, probably not favored in l

674
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: A against the Chargers, that might be a pick.

675
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 3: Them game, tough one if they played right now.

676
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: If they played right now, the Chargers might run for

677
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: three hundred yards. Yeah, say I would pick the Chargers

678
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: head to head right now. Yeah, Steelers at home, we'll

679
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: see their huge spread. Yeah, at Dallas, they're not going.

680
00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 3: To be favored, probably not. But Dallas is kind of

681
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 3: like the Eagles to me, they got problems.

682
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you. At the Titans, Browns at home,

683
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 1: Broncos at home, at the Steelers, and where are they

684
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 1: sitting right now? Three and four? They need to win seven.

685
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah they can, They're capable, Yeah, but they can't. They

686
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: can't withstand any more injuries. And like Orlando Brown is

687
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: now out with a calf injury this week. That's huge

688
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: for them. It's huge because they can't lose both tackles. No, yeah,

689
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: they just I mean, you got to. You gotta be

690
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: able to protect Burrow a little bit, to be able

691
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: to throw the football.

692
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 3: As we talked through this, I think a nine win

693
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 3: team ends up getting in.

694
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: I do too. It's gonna come down to those tie breakers.

695
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: Just what the Chargers have left at the Cardinals tonight.

696
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: I think it's favorable. They get the Saints next week

697
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: with Rattler at the Browns, Titans at home. I think

698
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,479
Speaker 1: it's like the schedule the Bengals at home, the Ravens

699
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: at home, at the Falcons at the Chiefs Buccaneers. So

700
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: it gets much tougher. That's a four game stretch where

701
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: they may not win a game, right.

702
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 3: They put some money in the bank starting tonight, but.

703
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: Then they get to finish off the season Broncos at

704
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots at the Raiders. Now, weather could be a

705
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: factor in that Patriots game on December twenty ninth. Yeah,

706
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,959
Speaker 1: that's what they want to do, So they're probably going

707
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: to be in it. I think they'll be in it.

708
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: Miami schedule, and you know, we're thinking that two is

709
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: gonna potentially team to bet against in the first round

710
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Yeah, they get the Cardinals next week

711
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 1: at home. Who who are talking about this is Miami.

712
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: We think two has got a good chance to play

713
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: in that game. Yeah, then they're at Buffalo, then they're

714
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: at LA. Talk about two long trips Rams. Yeah, the Rams,

715
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: Raiders at home, Patriots at home. Okay, Yeah, at Green

716
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: Bay November twenty eighth. Not exactly built for cold weather now, squad.

717
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: Then they get the Jets at home. Then they're at

718
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: the Texans, Okay, then they're back to playing well by then.

719
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 1: Then they get the forty nine Ers at home. I'm

720
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: worried about the forty nine Ers a little bit, but

721
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: I think they have enough to win that game. Oh yeah,

722
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: at the Browns on December twenty ninth. They're not built

723
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 1: for that, the Browns, right, you know who knows though?

724
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 1: And then at the Yet so their last two games

725
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: they're playing weather games.

726
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I mean I keep coming back

727
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 3: to the Chargers being in good shape. Yeah, win or

728
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: lose to Night, but especially with the win, of course,

729
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 3: Steelers are in wonderful shape. Those top five you mentioned,

730
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 3: I can't imagine a scenario world five are not in

731
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Yeah, I mean, just a huge injury could

732
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 3: still unless it's Josh Allen from home, you know what

733
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 3: I mean, like any other I mean, they probably go.

734
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 1: Well, let's let's take a look at that remaining Steelers schedule.

735
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 1: You get the Giants Monday Night Football at home this week.

736
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 1: They have six point favor in that somewhere in that range.

737
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: Then you're at Washington coming out of the bye week.

738
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 3: The thing with the Giants too, the more I dig

739
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 3: in is there are another one of these teams where

740
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 3: they can't score, run differentials really bad too. They allow

741
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 3: a lot and they don't run much.

742
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: At the Commanders. Then they get the Ravens at home,

743
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 1: Eveland at Cincinnati, the Browns at home at the Eagles.

744
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: Now they've had their struggles winning in Philadelphia. Yeah, sure,

745
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: I've covered a lot of Steeler losses in Philadelphia. But

746
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: the way I think think those two teams are constituted

747
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: right now. The Steelers ahead of the Eagles on a

748
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: power rank today at the Ravens, Chiefs at home on

749
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: Christmas Day, and then Bengals at home. There's no doubt,

750
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: but it's not as difficult as it like you looked

751
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: at that going on. Washington looks better, but the defense

752
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: is still a problem. The Browns look considerably worse. The

753
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: Bengals look considerably worse. I picked the Bengals to win

754
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: the division before the season started. That's that's out the window.

755
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: The Eagles don't look nearly as good as what they were,

756
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: and you know, we'll see about the rest of it.

757
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: The Browns are the only bad team on there. The

758
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 1: Browns are the really bad team. And we know there's

759
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: outside of the Giants. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

760
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 3: I mean there's eight to ten bad teams in the league,

761
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 3: and unfortunately there's three games to give to those.

762
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. What you can't have if you're the Steelers right

763
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: now are injuries, you know, especially cluster injuries at certain positions,

764
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: because another old lineman going down would be brutal. After

765
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 1: the game against the Ravens, you gotta go to Cleveland

766
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: four days later. Yeah, that's something's going to go wrong

767
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: with Yeah, that's stinks. Yeah, after playing the game against

768
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: the Eagles, you get the Ravens six days later. A

769
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: lot of that stuff's not and then four days after

770
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,720
Speaker 1: playing the Ravens again. Both times you play the Ravens,

771
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: you got to play in a short week.

772
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 3: I don't mean they're playing off a long week too, Yeah,

773
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 3: because I know the Ravens haven't a crazy rest advantage

774
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 3: this year over their opponents collectively, Like so the biggest

775
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 3: in NFL history.

776
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: You know that that part of the schedule stinks. So

777
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: you got the Ravens on the twenty first, and then

778
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: you got to turn around and play the Chiefs on

779
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 1: Christmas Day. Now that's a Saturday to Wednesday. So again

780
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: it's a weird and still it's short. It's a weird schedule.

781
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: Like even that, what at Ravens at Brown's right, Yeah, no,

782
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: it's Ravens here and then at the Browns.

783
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 3: If I told you split, would you take it? Yes,

784
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 3: me too, Yeah, like, oh, and two would be.

785
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:15,879
Speaker 1: Bad and two would be bad. If you can beat

786
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens here.

787
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 3: But then you could go to and Oh but you

788
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 3: could go to and Oh I would take one and

789
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 3: one there just because it's hard on the bodies.

790
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,439
Speaker 1: Really kind of the same. I mean, if you could

791
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: go one and one at the Ravens in the Chiefs Tome,

792
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: you definitely take that.

793
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 3: You definitely take that. Yeah, I mean the Browns are

794
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 3: so bad, That's why I asked.

795
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: But if you if you can get two wins, if

796
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: you go two and two in that in that stretch

797
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 1: of games with the Ravens, Browns, Ravens, Chiefs, you probably

798
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: did pretty well. You'd take that. Oh yeah, and then

799
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: you're probably a double digit win team. Yeah, you know.

800
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 3: I mean, if you can get two of those four

801
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 3: compared to where they're at now. I mean you're pretty close.

802
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's what you gotta look forward to her

803
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 1: in the second half. But we're gonna get to a break.

804
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 1: He is the Matt Williamson. I am Dale Lallie. You're

805
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 1: listening to the Drive here on the Steelers Audio Network.

806
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: We'll be back to wrap up nights win over the

807
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 1: New York Jets right after this. At least.

808
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 2: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

809
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 2: your twenty four to seven home of the Black and

810
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 2: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

811
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I am Dale LOLLI. He is the Matt

812
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: Williamson and Matt just putting a bow on the steelers

813
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: thirty seven to fifteen win over the New York Football Jets.

814
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: Again a game the Steelers. By the time get the

815
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 1: game kicked off, they were three point underdogs. Kept moving.

816
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: Huh yeah, kept moving And Mike Tomlin in games, particularly

817
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: at home, is it home underdog? Oh?

818
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 3: I know, O joint time. I bet against some all year.

819
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,800
Speaker 3: I'm glad I was wrong, but I thought the Jets

820
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,800
Speaker 3: were going to be really dangerous. They're kind of a

821
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 3: dysfunctional group.

822
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, they really are. I think Tomlin is the only

823
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:59,959
Speaker 1: coach in the NFL currently and this was the case

824
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: last year even when Belichick was in the league, who

825
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: has a winning record overall, straight up as a home

826
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: underdog or just underdog in general. It's just as an

827
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,919
Speaker 1: underdog to have a winning more games than you lose.

828
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, even if it's a one point spread

829
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 3: or twelve points spread, doesn't matter. Now, he has a

830
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 3: winning record as a dog, as a dog period at

831
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 3: night or on the road after Christmas.

832
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: Straight up right, not even considering taking the points into account.

833
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: He has a winning record as a as an underdog.

834
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 1: I mean that in itself is really impressive. But that

835
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: probably means they're not big dogs very often, you know

836
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like apparently not, you know what I mean.

837
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 3: They're gonna play tough, grinded out games. They don't lose

838
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 3: by a ton. They've had some big losses in the years.

839
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 3: I'm implying it didn't. But when your previewing the game,

840
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 3: not reviewing the game, never like a bet the Steelers

841
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:47,959
Speaker 3: lose by twenty.

842
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: Soll let's do a little bit to finish up the

843
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: show here real quick. Let's do a little Guys, who

844
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: are rising in your eyes and guys who maybe are

845
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: sliding a little bit. Let's do the risers first.

846
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 3: To throw some offensive ones out the risers. Russ Nausey,

847
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 3: Warren Washington, big riser for me all around. Dan Moore,

848
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 3: Dan Moore has just played very well all season long.

849
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: McCormick.

850
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:23,399
Speaker 3: McCormick is trending the right direction. The arrow's going up. Yeah,

851
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,399
Speaker 3: Pickens is kind of low throught because I just think

852
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 3: he who throws them the ball and when.

853
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,800
Speaker 1: You know so, I'm not going to pick him. I

854
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: missing anyone. No, that seems to be.

855
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 3: McCollum hasn't stinked, I mean stung.

856
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

857
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 3: Fine, Yeah, so he's better than expected. He's better than

858
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 3: a practice squad type guy.

859
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 1: How about defensively, I mean you got to say Beingie

860
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: Bishop because he had two interceptions in that game, but

861
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 1: he had been struggling a little bit. Yeah. It just

862
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 1: goes to show if you're struggling a struggling player and

863
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 1: you come on the drive, that's all I gotta do.

864
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: So he got fixes everything. I told him that after

865
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: the game. I said, Hey, I just wanted to let

866
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: you know. You come on the drive, you go get

867
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 1: two picks. All your buddies.

868
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:16,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's stay in the secondary. Elliott's never dipped right, like, yeah,

869
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 3: say he's rising. I don't know how about Peyton Wilson

870
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 3: left linebackers. I would go to Peyton Wilson.

871
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:24,759
Speaker 1: Had nine tackles in that game.

872
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 3: I think Queen's noticeably better than he was to start

873
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 3: the season.

874
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 1: Oh, he was getting people were killing them after the

875
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: long catch and run by uh pull by Hall and

876
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm like Atlanta Robberts basically, I mean they all collided

877
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: with each other and yeah.

878
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,240
Speaker 3: They have And oh, by the way, Hall's really good.

879
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 3: He's really good, really good. He's one of the best

880
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 3: backs in the league. Run not a defensive ones though.

881
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna say t J. Watts rising. How about

882
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 3: James Pierre held up?

883
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you're you're playing against two of the better

884
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: receivers in the league. Yeah, and you weren't a liability

885
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: out there, so play the entire second half.

886
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 3: The announcers were really poor. I thought it with some

887
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 3: injury news and I immediately thought, oh no, I mean

888
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,479
Speaker 3: Jackson can hold his own against those guys. Pierre's gonna

889
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 3: get picked the parts and we didn't have the bishop.

890
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 3: I'm like, now, they have two guys to throw at

891
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 3: it and those to one, you know, consistently, and it

892
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 3: didn't happen at all. It actually played well from what

893
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 3: I saw and watch all all the all twenty two.

894
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 3: I also haven't don't know this definitively, but it didn't.

895
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,399
Speaker 1: Look like Porter travel. They did a lot of left

896
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: right some on third downs. Yeah, there were sometimes on

897
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,360
Speaker 1: third downs, and I saw stat he was. He was

898
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: targeted three times in coverage. I saw that it was

899
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: on the next gen Yeah, the next gen stuff. Three

900
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: times of covers. Gave up one catch for nine yards,

901
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: but he was on He was on Adams like seventeen

902
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: times and Wilson twenty six times, and it was targeted

903
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: three times. Right, He played really really well. I mean,

904
00:42:57,960 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 1: which one of these guys is the All Pro? And

905
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: which one one is the guy that nobody's talking about

906
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 1: right now.

907
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 3: So it was early in the game, and I think

908
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 3: I only saw it once, but if I was, the

909
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 3: Jets would have done it so much more. When it

910
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 3: looked like they were playing sides, they put a bunch

911
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 3: to the field and Porter was on the short side.

912
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 3: I think it was with no wide receiver on that side,

913
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 3: but he still stayed to the side and they ran.

914
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 3: They pulled a guard and they got a tight end

915
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,879
Speaker 3: on him, and they got Breise Hall and they got

916
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 3: a big chunk gain.

917
00:43:27,719 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, I would do that over and over, you know,

918
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: much better that once. That was only a touchdown because

919
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 1: he had a thirteen yard run on the touchdown. That

920
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 1: was his only chunk run of the game.

921
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, yeah, I mean it was if you know,

922
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 3: these guys are going to play sides. You got all

923
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 3: these good receivers on one side, and Porter's probably not them.

924
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: They were mixing things up, and so just because that happened,

925
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,439
Speaker 1: they caught him in a play in that situation. Sometimes, yeah,

926
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: sometimes you call the right day, may have one hundred percent.

927
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: They came out in that formation later with nobody out there,

928
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 1: and I'm like, on the pass to Jack Conklin or

929
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: the tight end Tyler Conklin here, that's exactly what happened.

930
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: They cleared everybody out and he's over there by himself

931
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 1: and there's nobody on that side the field because Steelers

932
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: were a man on that play. Yeah, so you just

933
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 1: didn't know what you were going to get. And I thought,

934
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: I thought, how about Terrell Austin for I mean the

935
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 1: defensive adjustments that they have made down pretty quick week

936
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: after week. In the second half, I mean, yeah, pushing

937
00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: the right buttons. I understand they lost to the Cowboys.

938
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: I understand they gave up ten points in the second

939
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: half in Indianapolis.

940
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 3: One points in a half is a lot of points.

941
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,919
Speaker 3: You can win a lot of games with twenty points allowed. Yeah,

942
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 3: I don't. I mean that second half point differential kind

943
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 3: of blows me away crazy. I mean it's sixty eight points.

944
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 3: I mean they're just beating people up physically, and you're

945
00:44:43,239 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 3: making good adjustments and executing better and getting better as

946
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 3: a game goes on. That's winning football.

947
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, real quickly. We get it. Before we got to

948
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: go here. Some of the guys who were struggling a

949
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, Roderick Roderick Jones, I need to

950
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: see more of Uh, he's got to he's got to

951
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: be better than what he has been. I know, people think, well,

952
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: he messed with his head. They totally know he's been

953
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: playing right tackle. That's kind of a sense training camp

954
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:09,879
Speaker 1: and he is not playing well.

955
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 3: You can't always know the snaff count. He doesn't the

956
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 3: right guy.

957
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: You can't just say, oh, he's our left tackle for

958
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: next year. But the way that he's played more.

959
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 3: And more thinking he better give a contract offered to

960
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 3: Damn Moore. Yeah, and then take it from there and

961
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 3: have one extra baby. Maybe they all hit and you're happy. Yeah,

962
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 3: anyone else go in the wrong direction.

963
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm trying to not really. I mean again, you're five

964
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: and two. It's hard to it's hard to single out.

965
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: And I don't feel what people to feel. I'm not

966
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: picking on Roderck Jones. Special teams. Going the right direct

967
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,439
Speaker 1: special teams is tremendous. They've been really good. We didn't

968
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: mention Boswell, we didn't mention this weight.

969
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 3: We could have thrown those guys and thumbs up. You know,

970
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 3: I I start Hayward as an offensive player. To me

971
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 3: is leaving me a little short.

972
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need to see more there. Uh you know,

973
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: I think I'm not sure where he creates me. Calvinus

974
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: had a bad drop, Yes, really bad, Yeah, really bad drop.

975
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: You know again, if they get that, that's a first

976
00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: down and who knows where that drive goes? Instead they

977
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,960
Speaker 1: have to That was the first of their three and outs, and.

978
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,879
Speaker 3: I had a big power halftime notes and thought one

979
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 3: of them was if the second half doesn't go as well,

980
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 3: we might look back at that Austin drop and be like,

981
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 3: that's a drive killer, you know.

982
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, but overall pretty good. His returns have a

983
00:46:23,440 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: decent his return He's been very good as a return guy.

984
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:27,799
Speaker 1: So overall not you know, I can't kill the guy

985
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: and he had a thirty six yard catching that game.

986
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: Hard to knock him on that one. But yeah, I mean,

987
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 1: I think they're trending in the right direction.

988
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 3: I'm looking for guys going backwards and not really seeing it. Yeah,

989
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 3: So there you go. Broder Jones, you got to be better,

990
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 3: and he can be. That's the thing, can be. That's

991
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 3: the thing.

992
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: You've seen it, you know. Yeah, so absolutely, but that's
