Yeah, I thought it 17 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: looked great. 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 3: You know, I love those throwback logos. It was one 19 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: of the things that was a redemptive quality of the 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 3: Monday night game between the Patriots and the Giants for 21 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 3: a week third days like, at least I got those 22 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 3: cool uniforms, that is true, and I can think of 23 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 3: memories pass likewise, you know, the Jets, I main big win. 24 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,959 Speaker 3: I don't know that you wanted to win, but you 25 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 3: got win. 26 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 4: I did want to, Okay, I actually yeah, I don't. 27 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 4: I don't not not to just make this a Jets thing, 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't really understand the portion of the 29 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 4: fan base that's actively rooting to tank at this point, 30 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 4: because it's, uh, don't you want to know what you have? 31 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 4: Like is Aaron Glenn a good coach? Are the players 32 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 4: on the roster any good? You just want to it's 33 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 4: evaluation mode. Do they like and buy in or they exactly? 34 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 4: And it seems like they do, which is something you 35 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 4: want to know going into next year to know if 36 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 4: you need to fire them and get someone else in 37 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 4: the building. 38 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: Well, it's funny because I'll say this to that point 39 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: is I looked at a mock draft earlier this week 40 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: just I want to be what names were out there, 41 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: And I looked at at one and then I looked 42 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: at another, and it's a lot of the same names 43 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: at the top, but their names at the top that 44 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: aren't the difference makers that you would want for the Jets, 45 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: meaning like a new quarterback like Rvel Reece from Ohio 46 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: State is the top of a lot of draft boards. 47 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: As a linebacker. Caleb Downs of Ohio State is safety 48 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: is up there, the top three or top five. But 49 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: it's not like if you're dropping, you're missing out on 50 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: that quarterback that you need to be there. You need 51 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: to be in that spot for so to that point, 52 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: you might as well win, especially considering how bad things 53 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: have been, and you know, the Titans are in line 54 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: to get the first overall pick again, and you're just wondering, 55 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: all right, look at you know, at some point you 56 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: have to win football games, otherwise you completely lose your 57 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: fan base. 58 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,399 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like I'm I personally would rather see 59 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 4: my team win games than lose on purpose for you know, 60 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 4: like a Fernando Mendoza, you know, like I'm sorry, no 61 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 4: shade to Fernando Mendoza. He's a great college quarterback, and 62 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 4: he may end up being a great NFL quarterback, but 63 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 4: he's not the kind of prospect that you just start 64 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 4: losing on purpose and start tanking for because we don't 65 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 4: even know if he's. 66 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: Going to be any good. 67 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: But even in the circumstances where teams have done that, 68 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,679 Speaker 3: how many of those guys actually panned. 69 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 4: Out, and those were guys that were better prospects than 70 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 4: for Nano men. 71 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 3: No disrespect to Trevor Lawrence. Let's just put his name 72 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 3: out there. Generational maybe, yeah, I mean, and he's good 73 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 3: in spots, but even Caleb Williams was touted as that 74 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 3: generational thing and he's been good, but he hasn't quite 75 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 3: lived up to that billing. 76 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 4: So you're telling me that a guy like Fernando Mendoza 77 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 4: is someone that you know, you want to lose all 78 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 4: these games on purpose for and if you don't get 79 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 4: the number one pick, then you want to trade multiple 80 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 4: draft picks to get up there. Like no, it's I 81 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 4: don't know. 82 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy doesn't seem to exist this year. 83 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: There's also just the point as well, as there may 84 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: be teams trading up try to try to get a quarterback, 85 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: you could get some you know, maybe get some some 86 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: play there. But also what happens is then players drop 87 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,839 Speaker 1: to you, so you may have good talent where you are, 88 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: and that's completely fine. There are times when I wish 89 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: the Seahawks would have just completely bottomed out because Pete 90 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: Carroll just kept on trying to win with not as much. 91 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: But now I look at them and the new regime 92 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: and how quickly you can change things over. You make 93 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: make a trade here, make a trade there, just like 94 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: the Jets did, and they could turn around pretty quickly 95 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. That's interested, I. 96 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 3: Mean, well, and that's and I think there's the larger 97 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 3: point as we go to Week fourteen league wide and 98 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 3: certainly for fantasy purposes as well, just that turnaround that 99 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 3: happened so fast, right, Uh, And we're in a weird year. 100 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: I mean, is there any team that you would describe 101 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 3: as great week? And maybe they still are, But and 102 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 3: while the Patriots, Bears, and Broncos are all entertaining with 103 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: young quarterbacks, there's plenty of wards, right Ben Johnsons run 104 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 3: around shirtless and still complaining about his passing game, and 105 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 3: he's right to do it. For those that haven't watched 106 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: the Bears, you know, you see the final product, Hey, 107 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: they won, It's it's not clean, like Caleb Williams doesn't 108 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 3: turn the ball over, but he's still not completing a 109 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 3: high percentage of throws and the stuff downfield is scattershot, 110 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,840 Speaker 3: like there's still great room for improvement. And as as 111 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 3: Chicago Kid and Bears fan, I'm not dismissing what's been 112 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 3: done like it's fantastic. And to Ian's point, you know, 113 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: I'll take find your wins man, it's better than the alternative. 114 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 3: We'll figure out the other thing on the other side. 115 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 3: But week to week it's it's the larger thing with 116 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 3: the fantasy, you know, element of trying to figure out 117 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 3: in a backfield, who's gonna get that touch the goal 118 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 3: line or who's gonna get the targets in the red zone, 119 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 3: which in a lot of these teams seems to vacillate 120 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 3: and swing on the alum wildly. But I think that's 121 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: been the great thing of the NFL from a fan 122 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 3: perspective of I have no idea what I'm getting when 123 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 3: I'm turning on a game right now. 124 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, except the Rams. They just throw to Devonte Adams 125 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: all the time. 126 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 3: What's he got like seven touchdowns from one one yard 127 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 3: or something like that. 128 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 4: Something I think I actually saw he as the I 129 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 4: think this past week he set the record for like 130 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 4: the Rams franchise record for most consecutive games with a touchdown, 131 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 4: passing Cooper Cup and Tory Holt, like all these all 132 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 4: these names. He suddenly in front of now on the Rams. 133 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: I've told you guys about the We talked about the 134 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,680 Speaker 1: awful trade that I made that just continues to get 135 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: worse and worse throughout the season. But DeVante Adams was 136 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: a part of that. And I traded him after the 137 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: Rams beat the Jaguars in London because he had the 138 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: three touchdown game and it was on five catches for 139 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 1: like thirty five yards. And it's not that his aline 140 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: has been much different from that, maybe one less touchdown. 141 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,119 Speaker 1: It's it's the fact that someone would just turn down 142 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: six points like like like to me, like it was. 143 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: I feel like the all he does is catch touchdowns 144 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: from Chris Carter in the nineteen eighties, right, like that 145 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: sort of deal. Like that's how I felt with the 146 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: Vonta Adams. But my goodness, he's been He's been magnificent. 147 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: And it's the trade that I continue to kick myself 148 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: over because I thought I was selling high because I'm like, 149 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: he's not going to just continue to score all these 150 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: short touchdowns, and he continues to score all these short touchdowns. 151 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: Fourteen recept touchdown receptions on the season. I'm on Saint 152 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: Brown a second with nine. So that's where we are 153 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: with the Vonta Adams. 154 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: Sorry, it's an insane, insane stat line. Like just watching 155 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 3: him week to week, he's like watching an NBA player 156 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 3: in the low post man. And I used to marvel 157 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 3: at what guys like am Bolden would do. This is 158 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 3: on a whole other level beyond that, because he can 159 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: still make you pay downfield, which is something towards the 160 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 3: end Bolden and some of his contemporaries, guys like Hinzward, 161 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 3: unless he was trying to evade Bain blowing up hinz field, 162 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: he couldn't run anymore. So you know, it's just a 163 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 3: marvel as to what they're doing now that an opportunity 164 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 3: against Arizona on the road over under nearing forty eight 165 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 3: in that one. 166 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: You know, it is interesting when you look at his 167 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: numbers though with DeVante Adams, how there is the trickle 168 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: down effect because we know that Pukin Nakula wasn't a 169 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: touchdown maker, but Karen Williams has been affected. Plus now 170 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: there's other weapons that they've used. Kobe Parkinson or has 171 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: been a factor around the goal line. Another like Terrence 172 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: ferguson the ten on Oregon. He's not quite there yet. 173 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: But Stafford can throw it to so many many other options, 174 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: and it's taken a little of the hit from Karen Williams, 175 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,719 Speaker 1: who had sixteen touchdowns last year, has ten so far 176 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: this year. So maybe there's you know, an opportunity where 177 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: he can add to that. But with just he played 178 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 1: in sixteen games last year, he's played in twelve so far, 179 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: he's a little bit behind the pace and that's Devanta 180 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 1: Adams taking away some of those short yardage scores. 181 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 3: Add a little bit of Blake Korum and it really 182 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 3: as a rookie wrench to thing. But as we look 183 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,679 Speaker 3: at the slate for Week fourteen, though, fellas, I mean 184 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 3: some fantastic matchups, starting right off the jump Thursday Dallas 185 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 3: Detroit kick starts this all whether no I'm on Ross 186 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 3: Saint Brown most likely did not practice on Monday in 187 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 3: the early part of the week, looking like a no go. 188 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 3: But this is one that you know, get to get 189 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 3: the popcorn and enjoy a Thursday night that actually match. 190 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 3: You know, this isn't your old AFC South Battle. 191 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Week four teen has about three 192 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: or four games that stand out that I just think 193 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: are are magnificent. I want to get into the Lions 194 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: a little bit. We're gonna take a time out. It 195 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: is I want your flex, but I think that they 196 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: are so interesting, especially for a team there right now 197 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: is on the outside looking into the playoff picture, and 198 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: the injuries just keep on adding up for Detroit, and 199 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if it's going to add up in fantasy 200 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: success something we're going to dive into. He's Mike Carmen, 201 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: that's Ian Roddy, I'm Dan Pyre. It's all coming next 202 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: year and I want your flex. Cowboys Lions do start 203 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: things off on Thursday night. You're probably gonna want to 204 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: play a bunch of guys from that game, just because 205 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: of the excitement that we see. What's the over under Mike. 206 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,439 Speaker 3: Sitting at fifty three and a half and is when 207 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 3: I wrote down as we sat down to tape and 208 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 3: just kind of started smiling, going all right, let's try 209 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 3: to figure out how we get there. 210 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's my dilemma because I think Detroit's got 211 00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: issues and that's not anything that's ground breaking, but at 212 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: some point the attrition just has to take its toll. 213 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: We've seen it happen on the defensive side of things. 214 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: By the way they places Terry and Arnold on Ir, 215 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: he's going to be done for the season, so none 216 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 1: the Lions lose another defender. But when you don't have 217 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: Aman saint Ron. 218 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 5: Which is very you knew that it was going to 219 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 5: be a unique timetable for him because both teams played 220 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 5: on Thursday. 221 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: They're going to play on the next Thursday, Cowboys and Lions. 222 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: So when they called it a one to two week injury, 223 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: there really wasn't a chance. I thought that Amana could 224 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: play on Thursday night and we'll get the you know, 225 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: long term effect of the injury on what happens after 226 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,079 Speaker 1: this sort of mini buy. But without him on Thursday night, 227 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: without David Montgomery being the David Montgomery of old, I 228 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe he turns it on. But they tried 229 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: to bring Frank reig Now out of retirement. He failed 230 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: as physical guys. I just wonder how many times can 231 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: the Lions deal with an injury without really affecting them. 232 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: So to your point, Mike about getting to that fifty 233 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: three and a half, I don't know it's gonna be 234 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: a Jamiir Gibbs show again like we saw against the Giants, 235 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: But if we're gonna get to that point, I think 236 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: it almost has to be. 237 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like that's the only way to get there. 238 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 3: Twenty point point six in that one, only the second 239 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: twenty plus game since Week five. Like he's only got 240 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 3: five on the year, So you're not seeing the explosive 241 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 3: because of the Gibbs big explosive runs, which is great. 242 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 3: We've seen him active in the passing game a little bit, 243 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 3: but losing Laporta, Saint Brown being down, it's really kind 244 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: of changed things. Rag Now and the offensive line, how 245 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,199 Speaker 3: much juice did that get? Right? We talk about returning 246 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow and hail the conquering heroes of the quarterback position. 247 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 3: I don't think I've ever seen as much regard of 248 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: a Ligneman coming back to where it was like, all right, 249 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 3: we're getting things right. He's gonna come in and he's 250 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 3: gonna fix this. We're gonna get our toughness back up front, 251 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 3: because that was one of the knocks you had coming 252 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,719 Speaker 3: out of that Packers game was that they were not 253 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 3: the same level of toughness that we've seen that ferocity 254 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 3: up front. Ragnow is gonna come back and do that, 255 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 3: and then he can't pass the physical. Jay Glazer was 256 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: on Fox NFL Sunday going, look, he wanted to go 257 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 3: like he was willing to sign off whatever, like no, 258 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: can't do it. So that emotional lift that they thought 259 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 3: they were gonna get isn't there. And so I'm wondering 260 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 3: how much that impacts down the stratch. And for Jared Goff, 261 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 3: if we're looking at a sixteen point five per game average, 262 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 3: which is where he's at, man, that is that is 263 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 3: not a ceiling that we're busting through with great anticipation. Right, 264 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: Jameson Williams will be a number two for you, But 265 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 3: I think some of that's gonna be wish and hope. 266 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 3: But with no Saint Brown there, with no Laporta there, 267 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 3: I think you become a little bit more bracket coverage. 268 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,959 Speaker 3: We talked about Tesla and some of these secondary options 269 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 3: that might be able to step up to a degree, 270 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 3: but man, that's a tough go against a Dallas defense 271 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 3: that's starting to play a little bit better. Right. It 272 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 3: was a step up in class to Kansas City from 273 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 3: what they'd beaten up on, yeah the prior couple of weeks. 274 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm not looking for them to turn it on, 275 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 3: even though it is a game at home and all 276 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 3: of those kind of things. I just don't think the 277 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 3: juice is there. 278 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's just it's difficult. At 279 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: some point, it's going to catch up with you. We 280 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: talk about this with coordinators. You know, you lose so 281 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: many coordinators at some point one it's not going to 282 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: be as good as the one that they just replaced. 283 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: Right You're losing assistances, kind of the same thing of 284 00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: what's going on in Detroit and trying to fill some 285 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: of those gaps. They may get to the to the 286 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: fifty three, and it may be another thirty one, twenty eight, 287 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: thirty five, thirty one game. I just have longer term 288 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: concerns with the Lions in how they're going to operate 289 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 1: if the same Brown injury is longer after this week fourteen, 290 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: And I think just even in the immediacy of it, 291 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: you try to figure out a way to piece it together. 292 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 1: But I just I don't know if the Lions want 293 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: to get into a shootout with the Cowboys right like that, 294 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: it would seem like it would be more of a 295 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: ground and pound gibbson Montgomery game. If the Lions really 296 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: wanted to have their brothers against Dallas. 297 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, going up against what has been a bolstered run 298 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 3: defense though, right when we talk about Williams and the 299 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 3: moves that they made, that you've got a better defensive front. 300 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 3: So looking ahead on their schedule, you got a road 301 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: trip against the Rams the following week and then home 302 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 3: against Pittsburgh. What's Pittsburgh at this point? Uh tat Minnesota? 303 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 3: I say, that's so. I think so defeatatively, just like, 304 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 3: look all the infighting now, whatever's going on with Mike Tomlin. 305 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 3: A lot of rumors around this squad and whatever else. 306 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, you know, talking John who's a great professional 307 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 3: and route running. But defensively, week to week, you just 308 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 3: had the opportunity against the Bills team that didn't have 309 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: its two tackles. You did nothing right. So I don't 310 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 3: know what they are by week sixteen at Minnesota, all right, 311 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,040 Speaker 3: Brian Flores's defense will still give you an effort. And 312 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 3: then on the road at Chicago week eighteen. But that's 313 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: beyond our fantasy purview and in most cases so yeah, 314 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 3: not exactly an easy slate here, particularly that first week 315 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 3: again in the fantasy playoffs against the Rams. 316 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's well. Week fourteen's got a bunch of 317 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: great games and it starts with Cowboys and Bills. We've 318 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 1: got Bengals. Excuse me, Cowboys and Lions. We've got Bengals 319 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,119 Speaker 1: and Bills is one of the matchups. Heck, Colts Jaguars, 320 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,120 Speaker 1: a lot to play for, Mike your Bears again, it's 321 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: the Packers. We talked about Texans and Chiefs and Eagles 322 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: and Chargers, but a really good slate coming up with 323 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 1: Week fourteen. 324 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fantastic. We got a lot of big games, 325 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 3: like even Pittsburgh Baltimore. I don't know how much excitement 326 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 3: I'm getting from that. I can't play Lamar Jackson right now? 327 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: How about I skipped right over it. You're right, yeah, no, 328 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: you're on a hundred percent right, But. 329 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 3: I mean to six and six teams, Rogers averaging and 330 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 3: this is where you get into fun, like this is 331 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 3: the show I'm doing with Greg co Sell on Sunday mornings. Right, 332 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 3: you put on a little bit of a different hat, 333 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 3: or you know, change where your bills aligned. So you're 334 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 3: looking at things like yards per attempt and how you 335 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 3: know they're they're constructing the beast. Aaron Rodgers right now 336 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 3: is tied for thirty second in terms of intended air 337 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 3: yards per attempt. You want to guess who he's tied. 338 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: With, Oh God, cam Ward. 339 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 3: Dylan Gabriel. It's gonna get James. Cam Wart's not much higher, 340 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: but he's only he's only a couple of percent decimal 341 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 3: point higher, right tenths. But we're talking like five point 342 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 3: eight intended air yards per attempt. By way of contrast, 343 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 3: Sam Darnold, Drake May and others are at nine to 344 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 3: nine and a half. So like you're you're talking about 345 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 3: a dramatic difference because you know, averaging out over that 346 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 3: many throws, right, that's a full football field per game. 347 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 3: But and Lamar Jackson, I know the the fumble at 348 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 3: the goal line is not his fault, you know, going 349 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 3: in but three straight weeks without a passing touchdown, and 350 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:45,160 Speaker 3: we're not seeing any explosiveness in the run runs effect. 351 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 3: So basically it becomes all right, I'll start Dereck Henry 352 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 3: and then I look at the two Pittsburgh running backs. 353 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 3: Is that kind of where I'm at? And starters for 354 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,359 Speaker 3: fantasy purposes right over under forty three and a half 355 00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: last day. Look, but I can't go deep into any 356 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 3: of it, So that for fantasy purpose is kind of 357 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 3: like a dead game. We take off the board, but 358 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 3: it is interesting for playoff purposes. Right as they've got 359 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 3: objects in rear view mirror. If suddenly Joe Burrow is 360 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 3: able to see I did it. I did it without stumbling. 361 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 3: If Joe Burrow is able to go and knock off 362 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 3: Josh Allen and company, we might have ourselves a little 363 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 3: fun race in the AFC North. 364 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: That's gonna be a fun one in Buffalo that truly 365 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: excited to see it. You know t Higgins of the concussion, 366 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: obviously it would be great if the Bengals can get 367 00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: him back, but they're not gonna have Trey hendrickson, so 368 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: the Bills should be able to score. Could be a fun. 369 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 3: One fifty one and a half for that one, Dan. 370 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I expect that, I should say could be. It's 371 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: absolutely going to be a fun one in Week fourteen. Ian, 372 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: anything stand out for you on the slate that we've 373 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 1: got coming up, anything that concerns you heading into Week fourteen, Well. 374 00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 4: I was just gonna build off of that with the 375 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 4: raw thing because of him throwing Johnny Smith under the 376 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 4: bus for running the wrong route. So that's gonna be 377 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 4: an extra. 378 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 3: Layer to that as well. 379 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 4: But I brought it up on the last episode the 380 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 4: Cults Jaguars game, that's gonna be That's that's the one 381 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 4: that I'm most intrigued by this week, just because of 382 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 4: the implications it has for the division. They're both tied 383 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 4: at the top right now. The Colts obviously had that 384 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 4: insane start to the year, Daniel Jones now has the 385 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 4: broken leg, and it's just I don't even know if 386 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,640 Speaker 4: they make the playoffs at this point, but this will 387 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 4: be a good measuring stick game for that. Like I 388 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 4: think this is kind of the telling game here. This 389 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 4: is it where if they lose to the Jaguars, I 390 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 4: think you can kiss them goodbye. 391 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 3: Yeah. Season narrow road favorite minus two. As I looked 392 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 3: at it earlier, eight and four, both squads Jacksonville. The 393 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,479 Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence question just hangs out there like a lead balloon. 394 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 3: But you got a great run game, so it has. 395 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 1: Been you know, you know who. The Jaguars remind me 396 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: of Hitney. They remind me of the vikings of last year, 397 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: where I think they're a good team and they beat 398 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: the teams that they should beat, but they aren't. They 399 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: lost to the They lost to the Bengals in a 400 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: game that they probably should have won. Remember Jake, that 401 00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: was the game that Burrow got knocked out of and 402 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: Browning as the touchdown run at the seconds at the 403 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: end of the game. But they lost it onto the Seahawks. 404 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: They lost to the Rams we mentioned in London. They 405 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: had that game against the Texans one in Houston, but 406 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: they didn't put it away. Now they beat the Chargers 407 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: pretty handedly. I think that was more of a Chargers thing. 408 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: But they beat the They beat the Colts like they 409 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: think they do. I think they then lose to the Broncos, 410 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,920 Speaker 1: maybe lose to the Colts. They're gonna be all right, 411 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: but I think there's some Minnesota vikings to them where 412 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: they're gonna beat the teams that they should kind of 413 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: like Minnesota last year when you just couldn't couldn't get 414 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: past the Rams, couldn't get past the Lions, and those 415 00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 1: are the only teams they ended up losing to last year. 416 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 3: No, it's a good point, like the game against the 417 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 3: Chargers is one that just kind of stands out of 418 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 3: They played bully ball and just absolutely brutalized them with 419 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 3: the two man backfield, and it's like, all right, can 420 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 3: you do that again? Mentioned the Chargers that Monday night 421 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 3: game Philadelphia. You know your yards per attempt? Jalen Hurts 422 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 3: is second at nine per attempt. You wouldn't know it 423 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:32,479 Speaker 3: by what we're seeing. And the run game is still 424 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 3: sputtering Herbert with the broken hand. But like, who again, 425 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: a lot of trust issues that you have here, right, 426 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: aj Brown's been on a heater since he said bench me, 427 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 3: so we got that. But like from the Chargers side, 428 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 3: the dal. 429 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: I'll tell you I had really like questions about him 430 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: and then boom, he's down the sidelines for a fifty 431 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 1: nine yard score. But I don't know back Yeah, well, yeah, 432 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: that's the other part of it. But is Hampton coming 433 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: back the boost or there's still a team that is 434 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: without Joe Alton Rashon Slater. So and that's actually who 435 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: I think they are. Like, I think Vidal's been great 436 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: in filling in and had the big play against the 437 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,719 Speaker 1: Raiders and they wore them down and ended up with 438 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five carries. But I just think ultimately that 439 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 1: line in getting any resistance and who knows that, Mike, 440 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 1: to your point about the Bears and what they did 441 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: against Philadelphia, maybe Vidal and Hampton have a similar effect, 442 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: because that's all the Chargers could do with Herbert's hand. 443 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 1: But that's going to be a fun one on Monday night. 444 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 1: But if it's Trey Lance, my goodness. 445 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know that that takes us down a whole 446 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 3: other path. Forty point five is you're over under for 447 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 3: that Philadelphia a field goal favorite on the road. So 448 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 3: the anticipation based on that line would be that justin 449 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 3: Herbert is not playing or is greatly compromised. Is all 450 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 3: I can take from that one fun one. It's we 451 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 3: mentioned it, and I did so with like sarcasm dripping 452 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 3: thirty three and a half. I think we've broken a 453 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 3: new low, and that's Tennessee Cleveland, just to make mention 454 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 3: of it as we do. But yeah, it's an interesting slate, right, 455 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 3: Your Seahawks against Atlanta? Are they dead? Srahie Morris getting 456 00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 3: fired by the end? 457 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're dead. 458 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 3: Yes, you know, Captain Kirk's terrible, So that one's a 459 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 3: dead game you should be able to walk through. Are 460 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 3: you concerned with Sam at all? 461 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: I've always I am always concerned, but I think that 462 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: they I know they can beat any team in the league, 463 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: like that that Rams game. I'm not saying that the 464 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,439 Speaker 1: Seahawks should be undefeated. It's not what I'm saying. But 465 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: they lost to the forty nine er. They were inside 466 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: the ten yard line and Donald had a fumble. Nick Bosa, 467 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: to his credit, had the pressure. Donald fumbles, they lose 468 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: the game. Donald Ricochet's one off of a helmet picked 469 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: off by the Buccaneers. They kicked the game winning field 470 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: goal because it happened in Seahawks territory. And then you 471 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: have the Rams game, where again we talked about this 472 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,919 Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, but you punted down to the 473 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: half yard line and they still almost leave with a 474 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: victory with a sixty one yard field goal where they 475 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: dominated statistically. It's just Donald's four interceptions. Not all of 476 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: them were his fault. Some of them were, but not 477 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: all of them were his fault. It was the pressure 478 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: on him. But I think they could beat anybody. But 479 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: I still have concerns. I know they can beat anybody. Heck, 480 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: I saw odds tied for second for Super Bowl odds. 481 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: According to one you know sportsbook. So people are starting 482 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,679 Speaker 1: to Vegas has believed. I don't know if the general 483 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: public is really still on them because they look at 484 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 1: the standings and they say, oh, second place or all there, 485 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: the five seed, but nobody's gonna want to play them. 486 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: But yet Sam Darnold taketh and he giveth at times. 487 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have to try to figure out how to 488 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 3: navigate that defense for sure. 489 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, Kenneth Walker, by the way, it's been getting 490 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: more opportunities, so they've been trying to lean on him more. 491 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: It hasn't resulted in him getting into the end zone, 492 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: but there has been a concerted effort to get him 493 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: in that running game going a little bit more in 494 00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 1: the past. So you've seen, you know, a little bit 495 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: more of Kenneth Walker and that lead back role than 496 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: we did in the first half of the year. 497 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 3: Well, that guy that I hired with the sand but 498 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 3: would board in Seattle is getting his job done. Then 499 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 3: it's about time the cow with the eat more Chicken sign. 500 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 3: It's the give Kenneth Walker the damn ball. 501 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I'm gonna predict that Kenneth Walker gets 502 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: into the end zone this week. Week fourteen. There it 503 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: is count it down, Ian, mark it down, will get 504 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: it in the pot. After week fourteen, I'll see you're right. 505 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 3: I have them in multiple leagues. I hope you're right. 506 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: Dan. It's about times. Only scored four times this season, 507 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 1: so let's get them into the end zone. All right, 508 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,040 Speaker 1: let's get us out of here. We've got to rest 509 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: up for again a big week in fantasy. As crazy 510 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,959 Speaker 1: as it is at Fox Sports Radio, we've talked about this, 511 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: all three of us still alive in our company Guillotine League. 512 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: But yeah, the CHOP's going to come down to somebody, 513 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: and now each one of us thinks it's going to 514 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 1: be us. We'll find out what happens in week fourteen. 515 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 1: We'll be back later in the week with the ranking 516 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: show and whatnot. But yeah, any parting words from you guys, 517 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,879 Speaker 1: as we say and bid farewell. 518 00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 3: Be aggressive in your waiver wire scouring, you know, in 519 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 3: the post first run of them, see what's been put 520 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 3: back out there. Start looking at your playoff weeks where 521 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 3: you may be a little bit weaker, try to find 522 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 3: an advantage. This is where we have to look if 523 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 3: we need to have that second kicker around because potential 524 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 3: weather issues or the like, that you want to do that, 525 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 3: and obviously Ian has been on fire with the streaming defenses, 526 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 3: so start looking ahead as well and we probably play 527 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 3: in the waiver claims. 528 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: Defenses be a week ahead absolutely great advice, especially if 529 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: you're looking for a playoff berth and playoff success. So 530 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: for Mike, Carmen Enni and Roddy, I'm Dan Bayer.
