25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: get to the injury reports for today. Ty J Spears

26
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: with the hamstring does not practice again Thursday. Does not

27
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: look good. Tony Pollard against the Bills.

28
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean if you see to get a lot

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: of volume. Yeah, that's a real good start.

30
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Evan Ingram with that hamstring limited again today.

31
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 3: He's important to them. Yeah, I don't think a high

32
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: volume guy.

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: Don't know if that was something that was expected, but

34
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: he missed all that time with the hamstring injury. Thought

35
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: yesterday that you know, oh, maybe they're just limiting him

36
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: because of the you know, they don't want him to

37
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: reach week.

38
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, keep an eye on that. I mean, I think

39
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 3: he's definitely a starter for fantasy. A lot of touchdowns,

40
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: but yeah, he gets a lot of.

41
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: A lot of volume.

42
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis with the knee injury limited Thursday.

44
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: I'm sure there some fantasy owners wouldn't mind him not going.

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: Now he gets in the way of some of your guys.

46
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 3: You want to start.

47
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: Travis atm with a hamstring limited again Thursday. Okay, remember

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: they played the Patriots in London, right, Yeah.

49
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: I think Bigsby's the start. I know people were down

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: on him after last week, but that's because they were

51
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: losing so bad.

52
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. Uh. Noah Brown and Washington upgraded to

53
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: a full participant on Thursday. He's dealing with a groin issue.

54
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 3: I mean, he's not super fantasy relevant, but he's good

55
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 3: for their offense and helps Daniels and he plays a

56
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: fair amount.

57
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: There's bye weeks and injuries. I mean, none of the

58
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: Saints receivers are playing tonight. I mean, you know, if

59
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: you'rre accounting on one of those guys, maybe Noah Brown's

60
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: something you might want to pivot. It's a good offense points. Yeah.

61
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 2: Brian Robinson with the knee injury limited it practice on Thursday.

62
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: Okay, I guess you fire him back up if he's

63
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 3: ready to roll.

64
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 2: Alec Pierce with a shoulder sideline to practice on Thursday.

65
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 3: He's kind of the Richardson dude. You know, Chuck a

66
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 3: deep guy. It's tough to start him. I mean because

67
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: he can have down weeks.

68
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 2: It's a dart throw.

69
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 3: It's a dart throw.

70
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 2: It's almost you know, throw him in the flex and

71
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: just hope and hope.

72
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: I mean, if if you're that's some man, if you're lean.

73
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 2: It's a better a better DFS play.

74
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 3: Probably, I bet he's cheap. Yeah, Iris Mitchell wasn't into

75
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: his time at all much. Yeah he hasn't.

76
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: I mean he's been good though.

77
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 3: No Pierce had a good year.

78
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rashid Shaheed speaking of those Saints receivers to miss

79
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: the remainder of the season at surgery today and not

80
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: coming back in this disrepair, and yeah, that's uh, that's

81
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: he was having a good year, a good year.

82
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 3: He's always been somebody, even in previous years I thought

83
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: deserved more snaps. You know. He didn't have a super

84
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: high pedigree and probably had a hard time proving himself

85
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: fly though he could fly and he is dynamic and

86
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 3: he is. They're in bad shape.

87
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: They really are. Would you play bubb Means tonight? If

88
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: you're up against it.

89
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 3: I mean I'd really up against it by the rookie

90
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: quarterback and no line. But he's gonna be on the

91
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: field every snaight.

92
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: They've got that that second team thing going on there

93
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 2: that I guarantee you. Rattler has thrown a million passes,

94
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 2: a million passes to him already this season. Everybody else

95
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: is hurt.

96
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: I pay attention to certaining situation.

97
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:28,119
Speaker 2: He's not playing.

98
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:28,799
Speaker 3: He's not playing.

99
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: We know that he wasn't gonn follow above means anyways.

100
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 3: But I wouldn't know what they do. They don't have

101
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: any receivers. What would certain do. I didn't realize he

102
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 3: was totally out. I knew he was banged up. He

103
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 3: probably gets eight targets.

104
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 2: So I'm saying, yeah, that's it's cheap targets.

105
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 3: If you're doing a single game DFS type of thing,

106
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 3: it'd be interesting to be on the field.

107
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: Tray Sermon with the knee issue back in a limited

108
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 2: fashion Thursday. Jonathan Taylor did not practice the end today.

109
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: I'm guessing it's Sermon and Goodson. Yeah, Sartman could reaggravate

110
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: in the game or whatever, but not a great situation.

111
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: For manits It really isn't. Michael Pittman, with that back issue,

112
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: was back in a full participation on Thursday.

113
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not sure I'm super thrilled to put him

114
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: in my line up with Richardson, but you probably don't

115
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: have a whole lot of better options.

116
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: Josh Doallin's with the toe injury limited Thursday.

117
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 3: He's been really good, but he takes a little bit

118
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 3: of a dip with Richardson.

119
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: Jakobe Myers with that ankle injury not practicing on Thursday.

120
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: I wonder if you could I guess he has been hurt.

121
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: But again, I keep thinking about him as a trade

122
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: candidate for where the Raiders are at. He's making some money.

123
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: He's not the youngest guy in the league, you know,

124
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: but they don't have a lot of young guys behind

125
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 3: him either.

126
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 2: Excuse me, uh yeah, I mean he's he's a good player,

127
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: and right now he'd be number two in that offense.

128
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: So if he was, I mean, their quarterbacks aren't horrendous,

129
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 3: and he at least would be a highly targeted player.

130
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: Bowers is like right now Evan Ingram, but he actually

131
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 2: can score a touchdown.

132
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I think he's maybe tight end

133
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: one going forward. Y Elsea's probably in the conversation. Kittle's

134
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 3: been good, but Bowers doesn't.

135
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: Compete with anybody, nobody, you know, Myers when he comes back,

136
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 2: but even at that, it's still not he's going to

137
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: be the clear number one tight.

138
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 3: Ends that get passes behind the line. Of scrimmage or

139
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 3: you know, design screen.

140
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: I mean even last week he answer the Steelers it

141
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: was nine catches for seventy eight yards, but it was

142
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 2: nine catches for seventy eight yards.

143
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 3: And most teams don't tackle as well as Steelers. Yeah,

144
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 3: you would have had more. That's it.

145
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: You know, the Steelers have given up the least yardage

146
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 2: after per tackle attempt in the league.

147
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've been tremendous.

148
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: They get guys on the ground, they do.

149
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: They get a lot of bodies to the ball. They're

150
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: faster than they were, and they're really good tackling.

151
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Tucker Craft speaking a tight end position, limited at

152
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: practice on Thursday with a groin issue.

153
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 3: Okay, he's a starter. Yeah. I mean with Musgrave out,

154
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 3: that could be rough on some fantasy fantasy teams out there.

155
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: Christian Watson limited Thursday ankle injury move. He's always got something,

156
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: always something. Jayden Reid ankle remained limited on Thursday.

157
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean he's definitely starting him.

158
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, jay E or Alexander limited again Thursday they play again.

159
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: They have somebody that Houston, Houston, Alexander's importing where Houston

160
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: might not have any problems like that. Uh Ian Thomas

161
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: with a hip issue. Limited on Thursday. Tommy Tremble with

162
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: concussion practice in full. I don't tight ends that. Yeah,

163
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: it doesn't really matter at Oliver limited Thursday.

164
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: That's one of their best interior players. I mean it's

165
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: one of the best the linemen, one of the best

166
00:07:58,920 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: defensive players.

167
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: Dalton Kinkab with a collarbone limited participant on Thursday. I

168
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: don't like to see that.

169
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: I say, it must not be broken, but some kind

170
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 3: of bruise. Who was it last? Was it trace last week?

171
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 3: Conversation like a week ago. Yeah, rarely see collarbones bec

172
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 3: It's usually it's broke and you're out, or but it's fine,

173
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: you know.

174
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I would again, we talked about that with

175
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: the with the trade should open him up more, I

176
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: would think.

177
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: I would think he's been a little disappointing. Yeah, they

178
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 3: definitely want to give him the ball. He's a little

179
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 3: redundant with their receivers ass like a big slot type guy. Yeah,

180
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: but I do think Addam Cooper is gonna have a

181
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 3: ripple effect for all their receivers. Probably good, Yeah, I

182
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 3: think so. But the roles are better at Yeah.

183
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 2: Jonathan Brooks with a knee issue, mispracticed Thursday.

184
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna play this week, but he's

185
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: inching back.

186
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: Ray Davis with a calf injury limited Thursday, but James

187
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 2: Cook was back.

188
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 3: Okay, that's I was curious about his Cook back and

189
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 3: you put him back in your starting lineup. But Davis

190
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 3: isn't going to go away.

191
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a toe issue for James Cook, So you do.

192
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: There are concerns about that in terms of the cutting

193
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 2: and things of that nature. That's better than the hamstring, though.

194
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: It's one of those injuries where sometimes in the second

195
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 3: quarter you're yeah, you know, it bugs you and you're

196
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: not the same and you start him for fantasy and

197
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: you're not happy about it because your guys not in

198
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 3: the game. Aton.

199
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Deontay Johnson with that ankle injury, now, he had

200
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: been missing Wednesdays over the last few weeks, did not

201
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: practice on Thursday.

202
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: Okay, he's another potential trade candidate, but he's been really

203
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 3: good for fantasy when Dalton's in there.

204
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Drake may practice Thursday. He's dealing with a knee issue.

205
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 3: Okay, that's news to me. Yeah, he moves around.

206
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: Quite well the other day, so Ramandre Stevenson with a

207
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: foot issue, was not practicing Thursday, and then they flip

208
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 2: their flying after practice today. Probably enter Oute now to London.

209
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: Okay, I would imagine injuries in London are slightly less chance

210
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: of playing. I don't know. I mean, I'm kind of

211
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 3: guessing on that, but I kind of was in the

212
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: impression that Stevenson wasn't gonna play this week either way.

213
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 2: Would you be interested in Antonio Gibson against the Jaguars, Sorda.

214
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: I mean it's in the top twenty four. Possibly. I

215
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 3: think may helps everybody. I mean I think that they

216
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: move the football a little bit more. But I can't

217
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 3: see a lot of points in that game either. No,

218
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 3: I don't need that team.

219
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Rashad White said the Buccaneers are going to ride

220
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 2: the hot hand at running back. Here's the problem.

221
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 3: He's not the hot hand.

222
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: He has not been the hot hand all season. No,

223
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: it's been Bucky Irving and now and then Tucker came on

224
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: and Will Tucker added in. Yeah, I don't know.

225
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 3: I think that's a stay away. I mean, if I

226
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 3: had any of those guys, I think I'd be trying

227
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 3: to trade him right now. Three headed backfields with nightmare nightmare.

228
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: Speaking of which, Devin a Chan with the concussion practice

229
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: again on Thursday.

230
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 3: Okay, he's the one that he has not had the

231
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: season he did last year. But I don't think two

232
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: of being out destroys him. I mean, they still manufactured

233
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 3: touches for him. It is. The teams are very good

234
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 3: around him either though. Yeah, and the blocking is bad

235
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 3: and they kind of miscast.

236
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 2: When you when you can't throw the ball down the field,

237
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: all those fifty yard runs go away because nobody fears

238
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 2: their passing game right now, right right.

239
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 3: I mean he still touches the ball a lot, but

240
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 3: the quality of touches aren't as good.

241
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, there goes that his great career yards per carry average.

242
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: Mike Evans with a leg injury did not practice on Thursday.

243
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: That's something new concern. Yeah, say, he tweaked his leg

244
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: and did not participate. It's been a nagging injury for

245
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: him for a while, but it now seems to be threading,

246
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: threatening his availability for Week seven.

247
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 3: I wonder if it's one of those sit him down

248
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 3: for one week and hopefully he's over.

249
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 2: Time playing the Ravens this week. Though you want to

250
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: throw a lot you want to throw a lot. Yeah,

251
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: like that, Mike Evans, I do too. Malik Neighbors with

252
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 2: a concussion a full participant.

253
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 3: Good good Steelers have deal with them next week.

254
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: Though next week. Marvin Harrison Junior with the concussion also

255
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: practicing on Thursday, So both of those guys trending. Harrison

256
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 2: of course hasn't missed as much time, although he took

257
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 2: a zero for US last week and the DFS lineup.

258
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: But you often see these concussions linger past a week,

259
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 3: you know, And it's good that his isn't.

260
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: It looks like Nick Chubb will likely be limited in

261
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: some capacity in his first game back, as most would expect.

262
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 2: Pierre Strong would likely see some touches as well after

263
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: leading the Browns backfield last weekend.

264
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 3: Oh they're desperate. I mean they're going to get him

265
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 3: in there as soon as possible, But I don't think

266
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 3: he'd get a big workload.

267
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: Would they bring Nick Chubb back, get him looking good,

268
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 2: and then trade him at the deadline.

269
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: Maybe it's not a bad move. I mean, if he

270
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: looks the same, I think he'd be a great trade candidate.

271
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 2: He looks close to for the rest of the season,

272
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: right and he's really really cheap.

273
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: I mean, they they had the restructures deal, so he's

274
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: not killing their cap. But man, I mean put them

275
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 3: on Dallas or something like that. If he's back to

276
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 3: being the same guy, which if.

277
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 2: He's back to being the same guy, that anybody would

278
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 2: take him, right.

279
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 3: He's a tremendous football player.

280
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it was Yeah, Uh, this is interesting. The Bills

281
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: signed Lucas Haveroslick to their practice squad. He's a placekicker,

282
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: putting a little pressure on Tyler Bass, who's missed some

283
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: kicks of late.

284
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: I mean the Jets were missing kicks in the windy condition. Yeah,

285
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: it really was. It was like kicking in a washing machine.

286
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: But Bass is not one of the best guys in

287
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 3: the league, right.

288
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 2: But it's a good situation that just got better this week.

289
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, and they're gonna move the football, no doubt.

290
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: Max Crosby, with an ankle injury, missed that ankle misspractice

291
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. Uh. He also said that the owner came

292
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 2: out and said, hey, we're not trading Max Crosby, so

293
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 2: get that out of here now.

294
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I totally get that. I mean, you can't

295
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: just totally gut your team. He's one of the few

296
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: things that are going right.

297
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup was limited on Wednesday. We're into the West

298
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 2: Coast stuff here, so all yesterday stuff. Yeah, it looks

299
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 2: like he's on track to possibly return this week. But

300
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: Jordan Whittington, who has been one of the Cooper Cup replacements,

301
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 2: but it was limited with a shoulder injury yesterday.

302
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 3: Would you throw Cup right back in your lineup? If yes,

303
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 3: I would too if he's if he is active, yeah,

304
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: he'll get a ton of targets. Yeah, especially with Pooka

305
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: not there, it might be twenty plus targets again. Yeah,

306
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: I think he's right back to be and maybe even

307
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 3: a receiver one. Yeah. I mean I wonder how cheap

308
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: he'll be in DFS Worth noting, Yeah, that's worth noting

309
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: has been out for a bit.

310
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel limited at practice on Wednesday with a wrist

311
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: issue and.

312
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 3: Offense is weird now, I mean it's I just heard

313
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: this today. They they're last or at the bottom of

314
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: the league and run after the catch. I mean they've

315
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 3: been like they've led the league like every year. Shanahan's

316
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: there and running out of the catch and it's more

317
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: party throwing deep and more shotgun, and they're just kind

318
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 3: of doing things differently right now.

319
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 2: And one Finka No, yeah, that's part of it. One

320
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 2: final one here that is worth noting. TJ. Hawkinson officially

321
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 2: limited it practice on Wednesday.

322
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: Are you firing him right back up? If he's in

323
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: the lineup? Yes, I am too.

324
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: His twenty one day window has been open now for

325
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: about a week. They could activate him this week. They

326
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: could wait the Lions.

327
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 3: His old team, and you know he wants to play absolutely.

328
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: This might have been the one he circled when he

329
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 2: saw the schedule.

330
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: Like, if I can get back for that one coach,

331
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 3: can I can I get into the I'm like yeah,

332
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: if it's and they need them.

333
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 2: Let's say it's fifteen routes for TV, you know going

334
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: into the game, that is fifteen routes for TJ Hawkinson.

335
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: Given the state, Yeah, given the state of tight ends

336
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: right now, I'm still putting him out there.

337
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: Oh I'm not. That's not enough for me.

338
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: But I mean, if he's going to be out there there,

339
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 2: they're going to throw to him.

340
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, but I mean that's probably three or four targets.

341
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 3: It's not enough for me. I bet you cas come

342
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 3: him with twelve better names than that.

343
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: But I bet if he played, you think they want

344
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 2: to get him in the end zone in this game

345
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: his first game back. I get all that stuff. I

346
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: think they might.

347
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: I just think he'll play more than that.

348
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 2: I think so too.

349
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 3: That's a low number.

350
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think I think if he's back, he's

351
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 2: back now. It might take him a little time to

352
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: knock the rust off again. I've see some guys come

353
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 2: back from from those knee injuries.

354
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 3: And but I mean the question for me is if

355
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 3: he's active, he's in my lineup. Yeah, I mean I

356
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 3: think that's this.

357
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 2: Is what you drafted him and held on to him for.

358
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, maybe I have a better option. Maybe

359
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 3: I'm the team that took Kelsey and yeah, through Hawkins.

360
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: You know, took Hawkins in the twelfth round because he's

361
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: you know it was heard on draft day. Well then no,

362
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: But I mean, assuming you're a normal tight end owner

363
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 3: and struggling right now, you're thrilled to have him back.

364
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: Yeah. Fortunately for me, I have Bowers in our league.

365
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a great one.

366
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 2: Everybody else had already drafted their tight ends and I'm like,

367
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 2: I'll take this Brock. I'll take Brock Bauers. What worked

368
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: out pretty well.

369
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: Trade helps him too.

370
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, that's going to do it for the fantasy

371
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: football folte Well, not quite interested in anybody in tonight's game,

372
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 2: I am not.

373
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 3: What about Camara?

374
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 2: Denver's defense is tough.

375
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 3: I know, and the old line is wrecked and there

376
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 3: could be no very little.

377
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: Still think the one dart throw means telling you.

378
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: I mean, but if you have Kamara, you're probably gonna Yeah,

379
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't expect a lot. I was kind of

380
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 3: hoping for Taysom Hill just because it's not gonna happen.

381
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: Weird stuff with them, you know. But how about Denver guys? Sutton,

382
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 3: I guess, I mean, he's a borderline starter on his

383
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 3: best day. It's a short week on the road against

384
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 3: a good defense, and Lattimore and those guys.

385
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 2: They just Nick just doesn't throw the ball down the field.

386
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: I mean, what about their backs. No, I'm not real

387
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 3: psyched about Javonte or any of those guys. Yeah, I

388
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: don't both defenses that might be it. I mean Broncos

389
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 3: defense probably the start of the week, but it's on

390
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 3: the road in a short week and not easy place.

391
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 3: To play and you know, usually shy away from those things.

392
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's there's not much to like about this one.

393
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 3: No, I think this. I think Denver wins to which

394
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 3: is Badford Steelers. You want DFC teams to lose. Yeah,

395
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 3: Saints are really vulnerable.

396
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: You beat them, You beat the Broncos. You got to

397
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: head to head against them.

398
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 3: Be shocked though. That would be a winning record for them.

399
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 3: They three and three, they would be four and three,

400
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 3: four and three. Wow.

401
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: If it shows you how the AFC West their schedule

402
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 2: this year because the Broncos and the Chargers haven't They

403
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 2: don't play anybody there.

404
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 3: No, they got a nice soft landing spot. I bet

405
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: one of those two ends up in the playoffs. Maybe. Yeah.

406
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 2: They're good enough to beat some teams, they're bad enough to.

407
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: Lose to anybody. They both play good defense.

408
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 2: Yeah. Anyways, that's going to do it for the Fantasy

409
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: football focus. Matt, Now you're gonna take a break. We'll

410
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: be back with more right after this on the Drive.

411
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 1: At least, He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

412
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: Williamson on your twenty four to seven home of the

413
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

414
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: Welcome back, I am Dale LOLLI. He is the Matt

415
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: Williamson and it's the drive on the Steelers Audio network,

416
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 2: and Matt. With the quarterback situation being what it is

417
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 2: here in Pittsburgh, let's take a look at Nick Schuke's

418
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 2: quarterback in this for a while. Yeah. On the NFL

419
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: dot Com see where I imagine he still has Justin

420
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: Fields rank. I haven't looked at it yet, but I

421
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 2: imagine Justin Fields is ranked on here and we'll see

422
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 2: just what kind of move the Steelers are making this week.

423
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: At number thirty two, I have Deshaun Watson. Deshaun Watson good,

424
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 2: I mean he is thirty two.

425
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 3: Does not belong on the field. I mean it's overwhelming

426
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 3: at this point. Yeah, I'd rather take my chance with

427
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 3: Spencer Rattler or Levis or he doesn't anybody field.

428
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, at thirty one, Tyler Huntley, that's fair. He

429
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 2: was on the Browns roster.

430
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 3: I guess so they can and they cut right.

431
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's where they're at. That's where they're at at

432
00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 2: thirty unranked last week. Aid and O'Connell that's what he is.

433
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 3: I don't think he's one of the top thirty two

434
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 3: quarterbacks in the league.

435
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, the numbers last week looked better than what they

436
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: actually were.

437
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 3: It was fourth quarter stuff.

438
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, when all the starters have been yanked out. Yeah,

439
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 2: it's you know, thirty two to seven, and.

440
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: You're I think he'll be a backup for ten years.

441
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,120
Speaker 2: At twenty nine unranked last week, Drake May.

442
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: I'd be higher on May than that. He makes mistakes,

443
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 3: but boy, he's got a lot of talent and he's aggressive.

444
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. He's completing fifty eight percent of his passes, okay,

445
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,640
Speaker 2: thrown two interceptions, yeah, and a fumble.

446
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

447
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 2: You have to take a lot of bad. You have

448
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 2: to take into account the bad as well as a good.

449
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: This isn't like a fantasy football ranking. If you get

450
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: a fantasy football ranking, he might be higher.

451
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 3: That line he played behind, I get it. I mean,

452
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 3: what did he.

453
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: Do behind it?

454
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 3: It wasn't a lot of good.

455
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: There was good, but there's also a lot of bad.

456
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: There's gonna be yeah, I mean that's who he is.

457
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: I mean, even with a good line, there's gonna be bad.

458
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 3: But man, I would take my chance to win a

459
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 3: game with him over some of the other guys.

460
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: Well, I'd haven't had the next guy on here, Spencer

461
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 2: Rattler at twenty eight.

462
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just I.

463
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 2: Haven't had a bow Nicks at twenty seven, Will Levis.

464
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 2: I haven't had a Will Levis. I agree with you

465
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 2: yet at twenty six is bow Knicks. I mean he's

466
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 2: been the ultimate junk time quarterback.

467
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean a lot of his stats are been padded.

468
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 2: At twenty five Daniel Jones, I don't.

469
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 3: Know what to think of him. I mean, it's real

470
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 3: easy just to bash him, and he stinks he's not

471
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: worth the contract, and he's.

472
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 2: Looked good when he's had neighbors in there. That's the

473
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 2: thing is he hasn't looked as good when he hasn't

474
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: had neighbors in there.

475
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 3: He has not reached the bar being the fifth pick

476
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 3: in the draft and being that contract. But that doesn't

477
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: mean he's the worst quarterback in the league either. Yeah,

478
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, there's actually i'd have him

479
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 3: over all the guys listed.

480
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: If you look at the the the way that they play,

481
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: there's actually a lot of Drake May's game in Daniel Jones.

482
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, question. They're both aggressive runners. I mean I

483
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 3: think May is more talented you know what I mean,

484
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 3: he's better pastor of the football, but he's a lot younger.

485
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 2: Ironically, they're both North Carolina guy or no. I guess

486
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 2: he was duke the rivals in basketball, But I mean

487
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 2: I see some similarities there too.

488
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 3: I'd much rather have made a build round.

489
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 2: But well, he's a younger guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At

490
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: twenty four up two spots, Andy Dalton, he's been solid,

491
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 2: still a starter.

492
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, he could be a starter next year with a

493
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: first round pick in the back. Yeah.

494
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: I think he's the perfect guy for that.

495
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 3: I think he's proven he can do that.

496
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: He's moving into Flacco Land.

497
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah. Side note, Bill Barnoll wrote an article today.

498
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 3: I think it was just having fun with trades Bryce

499
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 3: Young to the Dolphins. He put out there, like I

500
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: would be interested that if I was the Dolphins, you

501
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 3: know what I mean. I think Adham for going for

502
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: a fourth round pick or something. I'm sure Bryce Young

503
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 3: will see the field, but I thought that was an

504
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 3: interesting angle for both teams.

505
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 2: At twenty three, down a spot, Trevor Lawrence.

506
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's played better in the last couple of weeks.

507
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 3: They drop balls left and they're the hardest watch in

508
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 3: the league, and their vibes are horrible and they don't

509
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 3: want to be there. But he has not played well.

510
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: No, at twenty two down a spot justin fields. I

511
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 2: thought earlier in the season, earlier in the season he

512
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 2: was playing perhaps better than that. Yeah, the last couple

513
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 2: of games have not been as good as a passer,

514
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: as a passer in particular. Yeah, right, the running has.

515
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 3: Been fine, that ads value. Yeah, I think that's about right.

516
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: But it's you know, five touchdown passes, one interception, five

517
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns, great, right, six fumbles? Right, can't have the fumbles?

518
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: No, I mean I've heard a lot of people that

519
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 3: are on the field on the field side of things,

520
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 3: and I get it. His turnover ratios or is TD

521
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: to need to intercept or turnover ratio? Its tremendous, it is.

522
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 3: But he's fumbled six times and just happened to recover

523
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: them all, you know what I mean?

524
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, like it's still dangerous, right, you know you're

525
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: living on the edge a little bit, you know.

526
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 3: An interception call back. I know he's had some touchdowns called.

527
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 2: Back too, But at twenty one down three spots, Jalen Hurts.

528
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 3: That's what hurts belongs now, Like I was joking that

529
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 3: he might get Carson Wentz and Eagles draft won the

530
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 3: second round next year and trade him to someone. And

531
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 3: he is not living up to the bill.

532
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 2: No, No, to be fair, the last couple of weeks

533
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: were without Oh I know, now he's got them all back.

534
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: Last week should have been better than what it was.

535
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: It's particularly against Cleveland's defense, which has been did you see.

536
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 3: Their head coach yelling at fans and stuff too? Like

537
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: he has a lot of volatile stuff, like I don't

538
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 3: know if he's be back next year.

539
00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: That's rough. Yeah, at twenty up three spots, justin Herbert, he's.

540
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 3: A better football player than that.

541
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 2: He's there some six point five yards per attempt. I

542
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 2: know they turned him into a game manager.

543
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 3: Last week was a little more than that. He was

544
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 3: actually looking like himself a little bit more. But no,

545
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: he's been neutered, he's fumbled four times. Does he worth watching?

546
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: At nineteen up six spots? Caleb Williams getting better getting

547
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: better quickly? That might be a little rich. Still, six

548
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 2: point six yards per attempt, I mean I would not

549
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: put him over Herbert. Five interceptions and three fumbles, Yeah.

550
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 3: A lot of that was early.

551
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 2: I guess right, he had a good game, but it

552
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 2: was against the Jaguars last week. Let's not get carried away.

553
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: I think their last couple of games have been pretty

554
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: soft opponents.

555
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 2: At eighteen up a spot Aaron Rodgers, Hm, I still

556
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 2: might have him higher. Five interceptions, two fumbles.

557
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're throwing too much too.

558
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, at least they have been seventeen down two two spots.

559
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold, I haven't seen him in a while, but

560
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 3: it wasn't his best day. But as five fumbles does

561
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 3: he that wasn't his best day. But it's a good

562
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 3: Jet defense. That a really good year he has.

563
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 2: At sixteen down three spots. Matthew Stafford, it's a little disrespectful.

564
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 2: He's throwing to winningham behind in no offense. Yeah, he

565
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 2: can't elevate like he used to.

566
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 3: That No, No, I mean he's getting up there, and

567
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: I mean I don't know he's much longer for this week.

568
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 2: Got three past three touchdown passes in five games.

569
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the stats I know are bad, like

570
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: he's unusable for fantasy and right, I mean I get that.

571
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,239
Speaker 2: At fifteen down three spots. Kyler Murray, he's come back

572
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 2: to earth a little bit the last bags too.

573
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean he was starting hot and now he

574
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: hasn't been elevating people around him either.

575
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: At fourteen up, two spots, and he's getting benched this

576
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: week Joe Flacco. And by talking about Joe Flacco getting

577
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 2: benched in Indianapolis is the talk that we're having right

578
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 2: now in Pittsburgh happening in Indianapolis.

579
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 3: He gives him better chance to win, right, I mean,

580
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 3: I don't know that he's better at football than Aaron

581
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 3: Rodgers and Justin Herbert, but he's done really, really well

582
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 3: in the Colts uniform.

583
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 2: He's always through one interception this far, I know.

584
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 3: And he's risky with the ball too. I mean, it's not.

585
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 2: Another one against the Steelers at least one. Yeah, but

586
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: he didn't, right, No, he'll he'll, he'll get it in there.

587
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 2: Thirteen up a spot, Kirk Cousins.

588
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's playing pretty well.

589
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: Last week wasn't a five hundred yard no, right?

590
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, he looks like that what they bought

591
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 3: on the open market.

592
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 2: At twelve down, five spots, Dak Prescott, those are wybe down.

593
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: He was a rough showing for everybody, okay, right, they

594
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: just didn't show up against Detroit.

595
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: I don't know he's a worse player than he was

596
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:44,640
Speaker 3: a week ago.

597
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: At eleven up six spots.

598
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 3: Jordan Love Climbing. He's really good. He's really talented. He's

599
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 3: thrown a lot of touchdowns. He might be higher for me.

600
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 2: He's been pretty good. Yeah, down two spots, Gino Smith,

601
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 2: they're throwing too much. Nice he only has six touchdown

602
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 2: passes in six games. Yeah, he hasn't thrown multiple touchdown

603
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 2: passes in a game this season.

604
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 3: They got major A line problems too. Yeah.

605
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 2: Nine up a spot. Brock Perty having a really good

606
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 2: year and more has been asked of them than ever. Yeah,

607
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 2: they haven't had all the guys there. Right at eight

608
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: up a spot, Baker Mayfield, he's playing.

609
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 3: Like the eighth best quarterback. I don't think he's the

610
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 3: eighth best quarterback, but that's a pretty long stretch over

611
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 3: the last.

612
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: This will be a big test this week against the

613
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 2: Ravens because.

614
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to be the three hundred DoD passer type,

615
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: you know, to win that game free touchdown passes. And

616
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: he's played against him a lot. I mean, obviously it's

617
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 3: been a while, but he's aggressive.

618
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 2: At seven up four spots. Jared Goff, Hmmm, last two

619
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 2: games have been really good, really good. Yeah, he's had

620
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: like five incompletions. He's eating point one percent of his passes,

621
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: averaging eight point nine yards per attempt.

622
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 3: Throwing to good dudes, and he's a good situation. But

623
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: he's good.

624
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been the only guy thus far this season

625
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 2: who has used play action more than justin fields.

626
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 3: Ye's much different style of quarterback too. But right what

627
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 3: the Steeler area want to do. I don't think the

628
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 3: play action percentage is going down with Wilson.

629
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 2: No, it might go up. I might go up at

630
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 2: six holding steady Jayden Daniels.

631
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: I think that's fair. Again, I don't know that he'll

632
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 3: end the season at six.

633
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 2: It's tough to play against.

634
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 3: He's really tough to play against. He's really composed. He's

635
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 3: still very accurate.

636
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 2: Seventy five point three percent of his passes in the

637
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 2: NFL unbelievable, and he's averaging eight point five yards per attempt.

638
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 3: And I know they lost last week, but I think

639
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 3: he still passed a tough test. Yeah, I mean he was.

640
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: He's your today.

641
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: At five. C J. Stroud.

642
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 3: Yes, that the line has been a real problem, and

643
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 3: without mixing, they had no running game. Andy lost his

644
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: number one receiver. He's been playing really really.

645
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: Well at four Josh Allen.

646
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, his numbers are a little down, but I still

647
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 3: think he's the second.

648
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: Best's running interception this season, Like.

649
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, zero, Yeah, and I knew he had zero a

650
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I mean he's I think

651
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 3: he's the second best quarterback in the league, but don't

652
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: think he's having the second best season.

653
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 2: At three down a spot Joe Burrow.

654
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean I think those top couple were pretty obvious.

655
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 3: Burrow is really looking good.

656
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 2: Two up a spot is Mahomes, and then one is

657
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,800
Speaker 2: he is Lamar one Lamar number one.

658
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 3: I think he'd be MVP if the game. If the

659
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 3: league ended today, I.

660
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 2: Think I'd vote for Henry.

661
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 3: Hmm. I he's been fairly valuable for him, but Lamar

662
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 3: is playing really really well. I mean, Ernie Bess is

663
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: number winning. Doesn't mean he's not value.

664
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: I'm just saying Henry to me has been the more.

665
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's kind of opened things up even

666
00:30:58,200 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: more so for Lamar.

667
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 3: League marriage between the two of them.

668
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: And you know, we thought it would be I was

669
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: questioning their offensive line. I still questioned their offensive line.

670
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 3: But it's getting a little better though.

671
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 2: They you know, they cover some of that stuff up

672
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: because there's so difficult to play against.

673
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, their guards and centers have been better. Rosen Garden's

674
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 3: a prominent right tackle. They put McCarry in the guard

675
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 3: and just he's been fine. You know, he knew he

676
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 3: could do that, right, Yeah, that's the beauty of him.

677
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 3: He could play five spots. I get Lamar number one.

678
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 3: I mean, no one's better than Mahomes, But in terms

679
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 3: of who's having the best year, Mahomes isn't even the

680
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: top five.

681
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, he's throwing six interceptions, have six

682
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 2: yeah in five games. Six touchdown passes, six interceptions.

683
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, he hasn't been great, and he said it a

684
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 3: couple of times publicly, not having a great year. Yeah,

685
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 3: but he is great.

686
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 2: I'll take him, all right, Chris Collins, I'll tell you superstar. Anyways,

687
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 2: that's the the list there on the NFL dot com

688
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 2: by put together by Nick Shook. You mentioned that that

689
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: articles to build it really is because there's a lot

690
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: of guys you expect to be better than what they are.

691
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: Mahomes Allen and guys like Rodgers, and it's been up

692
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 3: and down. Yeah, hard to rank you guys that have

693
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: great bodies of work, or even like Flacco as a

694
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 3: really good body work. But he's a backup that played great.

695
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah you mentioned the Barmwell piece he put together twelve

696
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: twelve trays that should.

697
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,959
Speaker 3: Happen Steelers or there's a Steeler one in there. Yeah.

698
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: He is the Chiefs trading for a fifth round pick

699
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 2: for DeAndre Hopkins. If the cost is only a fifth

700
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 2: round pick, sign up, sign me up for that. I'd

701
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 2: be interested in that, right yeah, absolutely for the Steelers.

702
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 2: He has Hassan Reddick for a twenty twenty six, sixth

703
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: round pick. Here's the problem with that for a six

704
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: round pick. Yeah, if the Jets trade him, yeah right now,

705
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 2: they owe they owe Philadelphia a third round draft pick.

706
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: If they trade him, they owe a second round draft pick.

707
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I did know that they're not trading him

708
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 2: for a sixth round six twenty.

709
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 3: Six doesn't count. I mean maybe you'd lose a round,

710
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 3: but he's not four rounds less valuable than are.

711
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 2: From now, right right, right, that's not happening.

712
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 3: They could be the team that trades for them, but

713
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 3: they're gonna get more than that.

714
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: You have you mentioned the Bryce Young going to the

715
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: Dolphins of Dolphins for a twenty twenty five conditional fourth

716
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 2: round pick. I don't see the Panthers moving on from me.

717
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 3: Probably not. If I were them, i'd want to play

718
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 3: him more this year. Yeah, but if I were the Dolphins,

719
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 3: he might be somebody I would have some interest in

720
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 3: if he's on the market.

721
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 2: Uh, the Commander's trading Emmanuel Forbes and if they get

722
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick for a twenty twenty five sixth

723
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: round pick for Emmanuel Forbes to the Chargers. He's not

724
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 2: playing at all.

725
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, his first round pick just a year ago. Their

726
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 3: defense isn't good really in Washington. Yeah, I mean they're

727
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: getting nothing back in that deal.

728
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: No, I don't. I can't see why they would move

729
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: on there this quickly.

730
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 3: If you can give me a third maybe you know.

731
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: The Cowboys get a running back from the Bears. They

732
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 2: get Khalil Herbert for a twenty twenty five six round

733
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 2: draft I've.

734
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 3: Been people talking about that for six months. Man Herbert

735
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 3: seems like an easy guy to move free agent after

736
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 3: the year.

737
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: The Steelers get Mike Williams for a twenty twenty five

738
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 2: to seventh round draft pick.

739
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 3: I'll do it for seven.

740
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be done at the wide receiver position. I

741
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: still look for something else.

742
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 3: Right, but give me a let me give him next

743
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 3: to nothing for him just paying for the rest of.

744
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 2: The year, just making nothing.

745
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 3: He's a pretty good deal.

746
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, eight hundred thousand dollars the rest of the year.

747
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 3: Like was that it? Yeah? Wow, I don't know he

748
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: signed that cheap. Must have been a big bonus. There's

749
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 3: a bonus involved.

750
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:40,359
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The Saints get Kendre Miller from the rate

751
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: or they get they send Kendre Miller to the Raiders

752
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: for offensive tackle Andres Pete comes back to the Saints. Well,

753
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 2: they both need those positions. Yes it, Beat's not playing

754
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: for the Raiders. The Dolphins apparently are going to be

755
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: very active everybody. They get a twenty twenty five six

756
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 2: round draft pick for Jeff Wilson Junior in a twenty

757
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 2: twenty five to seventh round draft pick from the forty nine.

758
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 3: Ers, again sending one back home.

759
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 2: Yeah all right, I mean, I guess there's some running

760
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: back super exciting. No, I'm not sure even nor is

761
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 2: this next one. The Cardinals send Zach Pascal and a

762
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five to seventh round pick to the Cardinals,

763
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 2: and the Cardinals get a twenty twenty five sixth round pick.

764
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 2: Zach Pascal is week right, it's not somebody. We've been

765
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 2: talking about wide receivers this entire offseason. We've not mentioned

766
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 2: Zach Pascal once exactly. You know, like, I bet the

767
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 2: trade deadline's more exciting than that. Yeah, you know. The

768
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: Colts get from the Bills kyer Elam for a twenty

769
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 2: twenty five sixth round draft pick.

770
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's big corner of this former first round pick

771
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 3: that hasn't worked out for the Buffalo. Somebody else might

772
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: want to try it.

773
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. The Eagles get tight end Tanner Hudson in a

774
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 2: seventh round pick in twenty twenty six for twenty twenty

775
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 2: six sixth round pick.

776
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 3: I mean we're just trade junk here now. I mean,

777
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 3: these are guys.

778
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: That are they are like some guys offer you in fantasy, like, right,

779
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: how about junk for no.

780
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 3: I mean these are all pick swaps at six and

781
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 3: seven for third string tight ends and stuff.

782
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: This one would be interesting. The Panthers get a twenty

783
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 2: twenty five conditional sixth round pick for Miles Sanders from

784
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 2: the chief to the the from the Chiefs, he goes

785
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:26,360
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs in a twenty twenty five conditional seventh

786
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 2: round pick.

787
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 3: I bet he's not a Panther at the end of

788
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 3: the year.

789
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: There's no reason.

790
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 3: There's no reason Brooks. Maybe as soon as Brooks is healthy,

791
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: he comes back there. Sanders is gone. Yeah, made me released.

792
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: Barmball had to go deep with some of.

793
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:41,400
Speaker 3: These too deep, too deep, dude, deep right. Mike Williams

794
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 3: is fine. Yeah, and that's even for a seventh Yeah, Pascal,

795
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 3: go on, what are we talking about here? Yeah? Yeah,

796
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 3: I bet bigger names have moved than that.

797
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 2: I think so too. Again, I there's some other receivers

798
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 2: out there. I'd make a.

799
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 3: Yes, Yeah, I think teams like Jacksonville could move several guys.

800
00:36:59,080 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

801
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 3: I might on Etn's name in there, Kirk, you know

802
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 3: what I mean, those type of guys.

803
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, I agree, he is. The Matt Williamson tongue

804
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 2: didn't work there for a second. I'm Dale Lolly, you're

805
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,439
Speaker 2: listening to the drive here on the Steelers Audio Network.

806
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a break. We'll be back with more

807
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:20,799
Speaker 2: right after this least.

808
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,399
Speaker 1: He's the drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

809
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: your twenty four to seven Home of the Black and

810
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

811
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,919
Speaker 2: Welcome back. I am Dale Lolly, he is the Matt

812
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 2: Williamson and this is the drive on the Steelers Audio

813
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,719
Speaker 2: Network and Matt Cleveland Brown is going to be on

814
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 2: the move again.

815
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 3: On the move. Whither staying in Cleveland staying sorta? I

816
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 3: didn't know where. I mean, they're moving.

817
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 2: Out to the suburbs, out to Brook Park, which is

818
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 2: about nine miles from downtown Cleveland on the western side

819
00:37:58,719 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 2: of the city, southwest of.

820
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,719
Speaker 3: The Toy Building. New stadium, folks, is what's going on here?

821
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 2: A two billion ones I think it was two billion

822
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 2: dollars billion, might be more than that actually, but yeah,

823
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 2: it's not going to be cheap. It's it's going to

824
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: be a domed stadium that will be the only dome

825
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,720
Speaker 2: stadium in the AFC North. Kind of defeats the purpose,

826
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 2: like it's not that's not all right.

827
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 3: Let's say I just can't imagine the Browns playing in

828
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,920
Speaker 3: a dome. I could even maybe envision the Steelers or

829
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: Ravens more than that. I mean, like by the lake

830
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 3: and the wind and all that craziness.

831
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,880
Speaker 2: You're losing all the advantage that you had. Now that

832
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 2: being said that they do have a game or two

833
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 2: every year that are affected by weather.

834
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 3: I was about to say the same thing. I remember

835
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 3: they played the It wasn't last year. It was a

836
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 3: year before Raiders were one of them, like two of

837
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 3: their three games in a row, or just slop fest.

838
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 3: Who knows who wins, You know, like you really don't

839
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 3: have an advantage necessarily. Sometimes it's so bad. Yeah, I'm

840
00:38:51,040 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 3: surprised it's not at least retractable.

841
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 2: That would make some sense. Yeah, right, it is. I

842
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 2: have no idea. I looked into that enough. But uh,

843
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 2: always something changing in Cleveland. Post opened in twenty twenty eight.

844
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,919
Speaker 3: This doesn't asking we know when that's ready for action.

845
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: That stadium opened one year before Akroser Stadium opened, did it?

846
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 2: Nineteen ninety nine? The Steelers Stadium opened the next year.

847
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 3: I guess that adds up. I don't think Steelers are

848
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 3: moving on from their stadium anytime soon. No, right, is

849
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: there a major need to do it or do you

850
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 3: think it's good?

851
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 2: They had some plans. They could have the city offered

852
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 2: to upgrade the stadium and spend money to do that,

853
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 2: and they say, yeah.

854
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: Now it's rebuilt, we're gonna go out.

855
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 2: They bought the land and that's official now and okay,

856
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 2: they're gonna do it.

857
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 3: They're gonna do it. Well, wonder if Watson will be there.

858
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 3: I bet not by twenty twenty eight. I'm gonna say

859
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 3: new No, they might still be finally getting over that. That

860
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 3: might be why they need to build a new stadium.

861
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 2: They need the revenue to be able to pay him,

862
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,359
Speaker 2: pay him, right, Yeah, just saying.

863
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,800
Speaker 3: That that organization is always in turmoil.

864
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow was listed on the injury report for the

865
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals today with right wrist and shining. The right

866
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 2: risk has been that's what he had operated on.

867
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 3: He's fighting through that all year and he's had He's

868
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 3: gotten much better as the season has gone on, too.

869
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 3: He typically is I agree, and then now there's another

870
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 3: one on top of it. Huh interesting. I mean it's

871
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 3: been a it's been a crazy career with him with injuries. Yeah.

872
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 3: I think he's had one training camp that he's had

873
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: the whole time he's had. You know, all a multitude

874
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 3: of injuries. Him and Herbert coming in the same year.

875
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: There's always something with both of them, and they still

876
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 3: play well. But you just wonder, but if they were

877
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 3: healthy for a whole year.

878
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't know that we're ever going to

879
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: get to see that. I mean, their offensive line is

880
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 2: a problem again.

881
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 3: It's not great.

882
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 2: Again, you know, even last week playing the Giants, and

883
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: Giants have a good pass Yeah, one of the best,

884
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 2: but guys get beat too quickly.

885
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Mims is work in progress. The interior is a

886
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 3: very average. I mean, I wonder if they'll still keep

887
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,759
Speaker 3: dumping resources into it or how they'll handle the off

888
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 3: sea line wise, it's interesting. Yeah, Cleveland could keep the

889
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: score down in that one at least.

890
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're the Steelers this week, Matt, how are

891
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 2: you attacking this Jets defense knowing that your offensive line

892
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 2: you're missing your center to be the fifth offensive line

893
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,280
Speaker 2: they've started thus far this season? People, Well, the offensive

894
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 2: line hasn't been good. No, it hasn't been healthy.

895
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 3: Has been healthy, which is really tough and just a

896
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 3: revolving door all over the place. And I really dislike

897
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 3: Fraser being out of the lineup. I mean, as well

898
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 3: as he's played and starting to really gel with McCormick

899
00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 3: two on double teams and things like that, and Seeamalu

900
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 3: is a stabilized force. I do like the idea of

901
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 3: running on the edges. I definitely think running against this

902
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 3: team in general is been fruitful, you know. I think

903
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 3: the idea of attacking second and third corners makes tons

904
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 3: of sense. I don't know that they have a wonderful,

905
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,319
Speaker 3: friar mooth answer bad against tight ends or anything, but

906
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 3: I don't I wouldn't shy away from that. Pickens has

907
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 3: shown that he can do battle with the certains of

908
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 3: the world. I mean, it doesn't mean it's you know,

909
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 3: revis Island and never going to hear from them again.

910
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 3: I don't think that's the case. Was shorten the game, though,

911
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, I think time of possession is

912
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 3: really big in this one, you know, and if you

913
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 3: can get a consistent run game going. But frankly, it

914
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 3: worries me. I mean, I don't see wonderful strength or

915
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 3: wonderful stealer advantages when they see them when they have

916
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 3: the ball. The Fraser injury is part of it.

917
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 2: I would go to a quicker passion game, you know,

918
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: maybe some more slants and things that we just haven't

919
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: seen a lot of. I just don't know that Fields style.

920
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 2: That's not his style. Quick processing boom boom boom boom. Yeah,

921
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's going to look different. I mean, I'm

922
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 2: sure the play calls will be different, some of the

923
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: route structures will be different, maybe even more play action,

924
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 2: even though they're heavy in that regard. But yeah, I

925
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 2: don't mind a quick passing game at all. Just they

926
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 2: have a good pass rush too. Yeah, get the get

927
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: those corners thinking, you know, because a lot of the

928
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 2: Steeler stuff early in this season has been more vertical related,

929
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 2: because again that fits more into what you know Fields

930
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 2: can do, right, but just more quick in cutting stuff.

931
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and their linebackers are good players, but I still

932
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 3: like pursue everybody.

933
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,319
Speaker 2: He just comes throwing in, just walking right into the show.

934
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 3: Yeah. We're on YouTube, by the way, so smile. There's

935
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 3: cameras here.

936
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 2: Everybody saw you there.

937
00:43:31,719 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: Like he owns a place.

938
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 2: I think this was his studio or something.

939
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, come on, man, what were we talking about? Something

940
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 3: about the Jets and Steelers? Yeah, something silly about that.

941
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 2: No, I mean I would I would try to attack

942
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 2: them and again, slow those linebackers down if they're going

943
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 2: to crash crash the line of scrimmage these teams have

944
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,399
Speaker 2: been doing. I want to hit that quick.

945
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, safeties and linebackers have been coming downhill too abruptly,

946
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 3: and I think you have to beat them over the

947
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 3: top play action as you mentioned. I think crossers and

948
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 3: more in cutting stuff would make sense to you know,

949
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 3: and Wilson historically hasn't been a great over the middle passer.

950
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean can't do it or won't do it,

951
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 3: you know.

952
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,880
Speaker 2: I will say this, and I don't know how this

953
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 2: might affect a game, but Sean Smith's crew is scheduled

954
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: to do.

955
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: This one I'm not familiar with.

956
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 2: They call eleven point eight penalties per game, which is

957
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 2: the eighth few or the fourth fewest in the league. Okay,

958
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 2: false starts have been the penalty they and you have

959
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: to call those.

960
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 3: I say, that's not even optional.

961
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've called eighteen of those, holding a second with

962
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: just ten, so basically they've averaged two per game. They've

963
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 2: done five games they've only called.

964
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 3: That's low on the holding.

965
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, only two defensive pass interference penalties this year The Jets,

966
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: of course, are tied for third or third in the

967
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 2: league in pass interference penalties with eight.

968
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 3: I would bet Sauce and Porter are happy about that.

969
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 3: They both can be grabby and long and you know,

970
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 3: all over people.

971
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, so just something to keep an eye on there

972
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 2: that maybe it won't be a flag fest like what

973
00:44:58,920 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 2: we see all the.

974
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 3: Jets games are though. I mean they're a heavily penalized team.

975
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 2: This is a standalone game and that seems to be

976
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 2: kind of them for the league this year that we've

977
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 2: seen more of those kind of colors.

978
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Steelers have been in their share of penalties too.

979
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 3: They're not great in that regard. Jets are bad.

980
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: Jets are bad.

981
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

982
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, So something just to keep an eye on there.

983
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 2: But Matt, that's going to do for the show today.

984
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 3: All right, sounds like a plan. It's a plan, but

985
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 3: it's the end. It is the plan. I love it

986
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 3: when a plan comes again. I do too.

987
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,359
