Speaker 1: a big time show in front of us. Here today

00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: of course I am joined alongside as always by your

00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: how are you doing. I'm doing great, Pal. I loved

10
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: your firey poner Friday. Was it fir enough for you? Um?

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: You come in and just torch the entire pot. That's

12
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: that's what I intend to do. The whisk it from

13
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: Wisconsin now scale hard? What's going on? Oh? You know,

14
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: just another Monday? All right, here we go. MGM. I

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: got Marcus Grant, who is heavily involved. Yeah, I'm just saying.

16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: If we got the Didger game on here, the James

17
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: three between Dodgers and Nationals. So if I randomly shout

18
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 1: an expletive in the middle of this podcast, I'll edit

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: it out. I'll bleep it later, but it will either

20
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: be enjoy or pain. But you know, just the crowd

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: will know the reason why. It's very funny. I feel

22
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: as if MG might say seven words total of this

23
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: podcast fully engrossed. Two of them might be Corey Seeger,

24
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: So who knows uh? And we got fantasy expert the stator.

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: He is an expert. I am not an expert on

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 1: full tilt over here because he doesn't know who to

27
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: pick up for his Monday. Oh it's not even that

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: I can't pick up anything for uh for this stupid league.

29
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: It's I started Allen Robinson accidentally on a by and

30
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: now I don't think I can pick players up mid

31
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: like midweek in this league. Have you ever played fantasy football?

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: Apparently this is the second time. This is how many

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: I'm in. Too many damn leagues I've did this. I

34
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: started Carson Palmer on Thursday by accident, even though I

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: had picked up Joe Flacco earlier that week to start him,

36
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: and I forgot somebody in one of my leagues started

37
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer and was crying about it on Thursday. And

38
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna win his matchup anyways, and I'm gonna lose.

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose. I'm gonna lose both because simply like

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: both by close margins, just because of these two mistakes.

41
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: All Right, we started show as always with your top headlines,

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: the camera highlights in the world of sports, breaking breaking news.

43
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: Likely continue to follow breaking news, news, your wife. All right,

44
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,519
Speaker 1: let's start in Denver. Gary Kubiak won't coach Sunday when

45
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Denver takes on San Diego. He's got a migraine issue,

46
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: was hospitalized after the game on Sunday. Doesn't sound like

47
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna make the work I know for the team

48
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: announced that he will not make the turnaround on a

49
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: short week. Coaching on Thursday against San Diego doesn't mean anything. No,

50
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: Probably head coaches do all their work before the teams

51
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: leave anyways. And unless it's like Andy Reid and we're

52
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: expecting to mismanage the clock in the final two minutes

53
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: they're used his time out's inappropriately like there's not as

54
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: much that's gonna happen on game day, Like all of

55
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: their preparation goes into it ahead of time. I mean,

56
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: if I don't know if Gary could be calls to

57
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: plays in Denver, he probably does. But like it shouldn't

58
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: be that big of a step off, simpler off, not

59
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: to mention that no matter what you do, the Chargers

60
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: are going to hand you that game at the end. Anyway.

61
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: They're finding creative ways. Now see the Broncos are gonna

62
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: be like yo, coaches out, let's win one. Let's win

63
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: this one for him. Have we ever seen there kind

64
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: of fourth quarter team before? I n think of It's amazing.

65
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Is not helping with his horrible timed fumbles either. I

66
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: mean there's that, but like the double digit leads they're

67
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: blowing in, then you've got the missfield. I mean, it

68
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,839
Speaker 1: all makes for great theater, but it's that great theater

69
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: if you're a Charger's face. Our neighbors to the south

70
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: here California probably don't think it's that good at theater.

71
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: Charles Sims was put on I R I know he

72
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: was banged up. I don't realized that they were going

73
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 1: to put him on. I all ye at the beginning

74
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: of the week it was like, oh, Tampa Bay is

75
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: still planning on starting Charles Sims and then they just

76
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: has gone downhill. Since that escalated quickly, Doug Martin uh

77
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: working with the hamstring injury plans on coming back. I

78
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: guess kind of soon, but they have a bye after

79
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: this week. Right Week seven should be Doug Martin's triumphant

80
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: return to fantasy lineups in the football field. Right now,

81
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: Jack Quiz Rogers is set to be I don't want

82
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: to say they're only back. But here's the thing. So

83
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: Jack Quiz Rogers going to be the starter for Tampa Bay.

84
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 1: They've got to back up a rookie at Auburn named

85
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber. But here you don't you know what's so funny.

86
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: He's so unknown that even the team's own website, as

87
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm listed as a linebacker, as him listed as line

88
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: on the on the whole roster page, he's a running back.

89
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: But if you click on his page, it says LB

90
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: oh man, that's rude. It's kind of rude. Uh So

91
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: those are your two running backs that will be available.

92
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: I think they have another cat by the name of

93
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: something hands Burrow. Yeah, they just promoted him from the

94
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: practice squad today. All the Peyton Barbara was promoted from

95
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: the practice squad as well. But so yes they are.

96
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm not looking at the rowing back position. Jack Wiz

97
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: Rogers is there if is he a must add. I

98
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: don't want to say a must add, but I mean,

99
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: if you had Charles Sims do everything you can to

100
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: pick up quiz because there's really no other options unless

101
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: you had Fozzy on your bench or something trying. But

102
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: I can't. Yes, we need gonna say. I mean, you know,

103
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 1: if you started Allen Robinson when he's on a bin

104
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: and you need to fill somebody shut up. We saw

105
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill go down on Sunday. He's got a shoulder injury.

106
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: He plans to return to practice on Wednesday. In his

107
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: adamant telling reporters that he will be available to play

108
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: Sunday regardless of whether or not he plays. There's got

109
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: to be some concern here, right, I mean, we we

110
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: knew about, you know, his struggles, but we saw Jeremy

111
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: or Geo Bernard get a lot of work man. Yes, So,

112
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill was actually on the injury report in the

113
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: middle of last week with a chest issue, so that

114
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: popped up and then they took him off the report

115
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: I think Friday, so he's good to go. Then they

116
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 1: started Geo Bernard over him. He was actually the starter.

117
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: Geo finished with fifteen touches for ninety six yards. He'll

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: only had four touches in the game. He got hurt,

119
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: but they weren't using him. It was a negative game

120
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: script because they were down by like three touchdowns early. Um,

121
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: So it wasn't really a Hill game to begin with.

122
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: It was a Bernard script. But going forward, if Hill

123
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: is banged up, Um, they play the Patriots next week.

124
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: I think the Bengals do, so that's another script for Bernard.

125
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: So if I'm a Hill owner, I'm a little bit concerned. Ay,

126
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: he's injured. B Bernard's a starter now, and see in

127
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: week six they play the Patriots, which is a Bernard

128
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: game script. The Cincinnati backfield, I don't know what to

129
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: do with it. What happened? Like it was one I

130
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: know in the in the preseason franchise when you're doing

131
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: all your good committee breakdowns talking about how they've been

132
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: the most like productive backfield duo in the last like

133
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: two three years. Well, Hugh Jackson left that. Hugh Jackson

134
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: Leston took it all to Cleveland. Well, and they don't

135
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: have no Tyler Eiffert. No, that hurts Jones. This isn't

136
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: a very good offense right now. No, not, they don't

137
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: have a lot of weapons, and it's kind of showing.

138
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: It's one of those situations. I have Joe Bernard in

139
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues. Yeah, I have no idea when

140
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: to play him, and he's only had one great game. Yeah,

141
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, even when you do play him,

142
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, I'm gonna get seven points. Like

143
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: he's not a guy that really helps you win weeks,

144
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: Like he's a floor play only. Well, part of it

145
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: is that Jeremy Hill was always the goal line guy.

146
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: Even if even if jo was having a nice game,

147
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: you knew he was going to come out when they

148
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: got the ball inside the five. And he's not really

149
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: like one of those receiving backs like Danny Woodhead who

150
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: gets a ton of like you said, a ton of

151
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: burn in the red zone as a pass catcher, or

152
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: guy that even has a ten catch upside that rarely happens.

153
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: All right, how about there in Cleveland everyone died at

154
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. I don't I don't get what's going

155
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: on with Cleveland. Their quarterback Their quarterbacks deserve hazard pay.

156
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: My WFE brought up a great point. If you were

157
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: a you know, an out of work quarterback and you

158
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: could play for Cleveland. Would you want to? But most

159
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: likely you will die? Didn't didn't. Someone turned down Cleveland

160
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,559
Speaker 1: last year because he wanted to spend time with his family.

161
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: Rex Grossman. They called him up and he's like, nah, nah,

162
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: I'm good, I'm good. Uh. Cody Kessler was the latest

163
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: Cleveland quarterback to go down with injury. He says he

164
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: should be relatively fine, plans to start on Sunday. Josh McCowen, Meanwhile,

165
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: we'll resume practicing this week as well. He's got what

166
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: shoulder ribs issue or shoulder issue or is everything issue?

167
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: Quite honestly, I can't even keep track of the Cleveland

168
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: quarterback injuries. There's so many, there's a lot. I really

169
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: don't know what to do um Regardless. The reason I

170
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: bring this up not that any of these Cleveland quarterbacks

171
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: are fantasy relevant, but I mean it does have an

172
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: impact on a guy like Troll Prior Senior, no a

173
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: little bit. I mean it's not like he wasn't he

174
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: wasn't tearing it up anything. He was getting his few

175
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: catches and fortunately getting into the end zone recently. But

176
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, if if Charlie White Hurris is in there,

177
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna that's gonna hurt. He He looked awkward under center.

178
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: I saw some great skin grab somebody uh tweeted about

179
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: him behind center. He looked like he was like an

180
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: old and in the Old West, like ready for a

181
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: duel as he was snap to come to him. He

182
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: looked uncomfortable and he got injured too. So I would

183
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: hope Kessler comes back or McCown. That's that's a good situation.

184
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: But I mean, if either those guys start, we just

185
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: have to pray that they stay together long enough to

186
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: finish the sixty minutes of the game and keep Prior

187
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: and Crowell and maybe Barnage's value afloat. Man, it is insane.

188
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: What's going on there? What's the latis on Gary Barnage?

189
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: By the way, anybody knows he's no Connor Hamlet. Oh god,

190
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: he did? He did? Charlie Whitehurst to Kinnor Hamlet. That

191
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: is maybe the growth. That might be the grossest TV

192
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: combination of the year. Like, I don't know that we

193
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: will top that for less helping anybody, I don't think so.

194
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: Didn't Kessler throw that touchdown to him? Though it was

195
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: white Hurst? It was white Hurst to Hamlet Charlie Whitehurst

196
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: to Connor Hamlet. You may not find a bigger that

197
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: helps no one all year. Barnage did lead the team

198
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: in targets this week, but his next touchdown this year

199
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: will be his first. Oh no, let's talk about Sunday

200
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: Night football very quickly. Oh by the way, I know

201
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: some of you guys get this on Tuesday. Uh, don't

202
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: at us because we're not gonna talk about Monday because

203
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: quite frankly, we're taping Monday. Well, it hasn't happened yet,

204
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: so that would be difficult. And I don't even really

205
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: want to preview it because it's bad. It's stupid, and

206
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: you will listen to this after the game exactly. That

207
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: was a stupid prediction, dumb. So we're gonna talk about

208
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: Sunda Night football and step which was a far more

209
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: interesting battle, although on the field it look great. Uh,

210
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: it was Green Bay playing at home taking on the Giants.

211
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: I was expecting fireworks and instead I was treated to

212
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: not fireworks. Nou The Packers held up somewhat their end

213
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: of the bargain. What he got on the board early

214
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: Cob had a good day. Davante Adams caught his third

215
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: touchdown in four games, and uh, I will say, I

216
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: will say for the Packers, they were much closer to

217
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: holding up their end of the bargain because the cop

218
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: touched There was a cop touchdown that got called back

219
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: because Davanta Adams wasn't set. And then if you watch

220
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: that pass on like their last drive to Richard Rodgers

221
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: in the end zone, absolute dime from Rogers, Rogers right

222
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: in the hands and he just drops it. It It was beautiful.

223
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: So like there there's two touchdowns that came off the

224
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: board and only ended up in three Green Bay points

225
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: because they had an interception on the tip pass after that.

226
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: But this Giant's offense, there is there is something fundamentally

227
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: wrong with it. I twoted this last night. You have

228
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: to kind of wonder if Ben mcdoo being made the

229
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: head coach has taken away from the offense, because I mean,

230
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know why that would be,

231
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: but it just makes me wonder because this offense has

232
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: been so bad and it's weird because they have a

233
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 1: clear strength. They have one of the three best wide

234
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: receiver one of the best wide receiver trios in the

235
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,839
Speaker 1: NFL with Beckham Shephard and Cruise. That's a dynamic trio

236
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: that's hard to cover, that can match up with defenses

237
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: and threaten them in a lot of different ways. But

238
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: everything else is bad. I mean, the offensive line can't block,

239
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: they can't really run the ball with any consistency. The

240
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 1: play calling is vanilla and doesn't They can't threaten outside

241
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: right or they can't threaten deep outside right now. And

242
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: Eli Manning quite frankly, has been really poor this year

243
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: so far. I think that's the biggest problem, of course

244
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position, but overall, I just wonder. I

245
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: wonder if this offense is ever going to hit the

246
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,080
Speaker 1: peak that we thought it might this year. They're only

247
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: averaging seventeen point eight points per game right now, with

248
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: all of that talent in the passing offense, it ranks

249
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: in the league. It doesn't make and they've seen the Saints.

250
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: It's gonna say that the score a touchdown right or

251
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: pass defensive touchdown in that right. Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

252
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't understand what's going on. It's certainly worrisome. I mean,

253
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: Beckham's still the guy to play, and I guess if

254
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: Jennings comes back and kind of takes over the backfield. Sure,

255
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 1: but like man, you gotta be concerned if you have

256
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: some of those kind of how concerned are you about

257
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham Jr. Right now, he's got three fifty nine

258
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: yards through five games. It's okay, it's not great. He's

259
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: got one touchdown. I guess you feel a little better

260
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: because he got that touchdown last night, because if he didn't,

261
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 1: it would have been full on panic, I think on

262
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 1: Monday morning for a lot of the I guess the

263
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: silver lining and I don't even know if he was in. Uh,

264
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: he was enough, he was enough. He was a good point,

265
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: good point. As the catch expert on this podcast, on

266
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: the show, it is Alex. Yeah. The silver lining is

267
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: that he is still getting a time of target. He

268
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: got targ he was targeted twelve times on Sunday night. Uh.

269
00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 1: The bad news that he only caught five of them

270
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: for at these six yards. Many of them were bad targets.

271
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: They were bad targets. I mean, I think that's that's

272
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: the concerns that they have been bad target The other

273
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: concern is that he has not been as great after

274
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: the catch this year as he has as he was

275
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 1: in his first couple of years. And maybe that is.

276
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the way teams are defending him now. Just

277
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, if he's going to catch the ball, keep

278
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: him in front of you. Don't let him break off

279
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: a crazy run afterwards. But yeah, I mean, look, I

280
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: know we're trying to remain patient and believe in in

281
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: what this guy can do. But after five weeks, I

282
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: understand if people are a little bit freaked out about

283
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: a guy you spent the first round pick on. I

284
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: feel like every week we're waiting. I think it's the

285
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: offense more than more than anything. I mean, they're just

286
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: they're not scoring points. And he's one of the most

287
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: prolific touchdown scores of of his time so far, I

288
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: mean historically, it just on a pace standpoint from early

289
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: in his career. I mean, he's a he's a great

290
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: touchdown score, we know that, but his offense is not

291
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: getting into scoring position regularly. I pulled up his next

292
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: year and stats were out chart from last night, and

293
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: all of his catches were pretty except for that touchdown

294
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: one where he kind of improved and sat down in

295
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: the zone. They're all in breaking you know, deep post,

296
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: shallow slants, dig routes and everything like that. They're not

297
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: hitting outside the numbers, they're not making big plays like that,

298
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: and I mean that's why you're seeing more of like

299
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: Beckham's floor, which, like you said, is good, not great.

300
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Uh it's not a complete disaster, but but it is

301
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: not what you spent. He could be an excellent by

302
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: low candidate. Next two matchups aren't awesome. He's got the

303
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: Ravens at home and then he goes on the road

304
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: to the Rams. They ate by coming out of that

305
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: game though. Eagles, Bengals, Bears, all at home on the

306
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: road against the Browns on the road against the Steelers

307
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: and what could be a shootout, and then Dallas and

308
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: Detroit and then the Eagles again in the Fantasy Championships. Yeah,

309
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: but this was supposed to be the week when he

310
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: went for all of the yards and all of that.

311
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: They've still clearly got a lot of issues. I'm saying

312
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: is if he they struggle again the next two weeks

313
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: they go into their by it could be a chance

314
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: to try and you know, get him at a at

315
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: a discount before he has a bunch of good matchups.

316
00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not saying he is going to go

317
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: off in those, but if there were a time coming

318
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: out of the bi when the offense could maybe get right.

319
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: That could be the area harmy. Can I ask you

320
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: one last question about O b J. Will move on,

321
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: But um, you look at you look at the rout tree,

322
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: Um and all of his catches. You're right, we're in breaking.

323
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: But I don't remember a single throw to the outside.

324
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: But how many routes is he running to the outside?

325
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. They're just it's it seems like

326
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: mac dow has put more of his stamp on the offense,

327
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: which is you know, West Coast timing in breaking routes.

328
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: And that's great in all, but this is a big

329
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: play threat and I don't think they have time to

330
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: let those routes develop right now because they're getting whipped

331
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: off the edge. I mean Eric Flowers before he had

332
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: a little melt down in the locker room with a

333
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: reporter afterwards, by the way, yeah, exactly all he was

334
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: just getting whipped off the edge by the packers I mean,

335
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: and Manning consistently having that blindside pressure on him. You

336
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: don't have time to let those routes developed to the outside.

337
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: You have to have those It wasn't like it was

338
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: Clay Matthews. He only played snaps. It was like fourth

339
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: round rookie Chiral Fackler or something Facral from Utah State

340
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: exactly like him. Nick Perry was having a good year.

341
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's worrisome for that Giant's offensive Eli

342
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: can't stay up right. For what it's worth, Odell is

343
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: the only wide receiver in the league who's played a

344
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: hundred percent of his team's offensive snaps per Fantasy Data

345
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: dot Com. All right, so he's out there, he's out there,

346
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: he's out there, he's there, he's there, he's around points

347
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: per snapping. Uh. Injury update in that game as well,

348
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: we saw Eddie Lacy with a with an ankle issue.

349
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb late took Oh my gosh, big hit. Apparently

350
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: he's okay. I know, so apparently both guys are okay,

351
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 1: But I didn't want to give an injury update there.

352
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: But man, Nandal Cob shot. Did you hear did you

353
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: read the story this morning, James where Cobb said he

354
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: rolled over and thought he was dead because they were

355
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: like fifteen people around him. He felt okay, but like

356
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: he got hit and he was like, if you watch

357
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: the replay, he's like on the grounding, it's probably like damn,

358
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: that hurt. And then he rolls over and there's like

359
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: just a hard warming, right, so it's he's it looked bad.

360
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: But the way his head whip back, Yeah, that was

361
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: oh god, that look. And I was like, oh, it's

362
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: such kind of like a meaningless play was for a

363
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 1: first down, but it was like put the game away. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

364
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: the game wasn't meaningless. How do you guys feel about

365
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: the Packers offense now? After Like, I don't feel great.

366
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: I don't feel great. How do you feel? I know,

367
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: I still don't. I still don't feel great either. But

368
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: they're starting to do things that make me think they're

369
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: getting on track. They're not on track yet. They're like

370
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: they're wobbling, or like if they're at the train station.

371
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: They're on that thing that just spins around and sets

372
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: them on the right track, but they haven't gotten onto

373
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: it yet. They're just still spinning. The reason I say

374
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: that is because how much time did Aaron Rodgers have

375
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: all day and all day and in previous years when

376
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 1: you gave him that much time, he's I mean, he

377
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: would slice and dice defenses. Right now, he can't. He's

378
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: he's that's the thing. It's it's not he's not getting

379
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: anybody open down field because you see him kind of

380
00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,480
Speaker 1: dance around in the pocket. Normally you would see that.

381
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he flicks one, and normally there's you know,

382
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson running free. Now he dances around, time runs out,

383
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: he flicks one down field and you know Jordie's covered,

384
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: or Randall Cobb has a guy on his back, or

385
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: mostly he's just throwing it away. Yeah, I mean, Rogers

386
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: is thirty in uh net yards average net yards per tempt.

387
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: He's I know, excuse me, twenty in net yards per tempt.

388
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,479
Speaker 1: He is thirty first in completion completion percentage starting quarterbacks

389
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: right now. That's really it's not good. I will say

390
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: I felt really good about Randall Cobb after last night.

391
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: I think he was used in more of a way

392
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: that was better suiting for him. That was good. It

393
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 1: was good to see them getting him going. Uh. Jordy

394
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: really got kind of shut down a little bit by

395
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: generous Jenkins, who's played pretty well this year, and fourteen

396
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 1: pass plays against each other, he only let up two

397
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 1: catches for twenty nine yards to Nelson and the game

398
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: plan clearly was to throw as many defensive backs out

399
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: there as possible and just allow their front four to

400
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: create pressure on their own, which didn't work. I think

401
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: just they're operating with like a seventy to eight present

402
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson right now, and he's not like consistently whipping

403
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: man to man coverage every single play, and I think

404
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: that's still so they're still kind of dealing with a

405
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: lot of what they had to deal with last year.

406
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: And though Nelson's out there kind of in name only,

407
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: but I will say Davante Adams, we have all taken

408
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: shots at him, and I kind of lead that charge

409
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 1: last year that out here, he's a usable third, fourth option,

410
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: and I put him in the waiver wire column because, like,

411
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: especially like with if Cobbs getting locked up with a

412
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: good guy in the slot and Jordy's taking the number one,

413
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: Adams is able to win, you know, semi regularly again

414
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: against the interior corners. Yeah, It's it's one thing to

415
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: throw and get the guy out there and have them

416
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: be like, hey, you're gonna have to be our number

417
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 1: one outside threat. Will Cobbs stays in this lot, It's

418
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: another thing to be like these two other you know,

419
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,479
Speaker 1: form Pro Bowl receivers are gonna be there and you're

420
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: gonna be the third. But I agree percent with Cobb,

421
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: and I think it's a good sign what they did

422
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: early because that was Dennis, our researcher. He and I

423
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: were complaining about this going into the packers by is

424
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: that they were just misusing Cobb. They weren't using him

425
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: in space, they weren't setting him up any ways to

426
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,199
Speaker 1: help move the chains, which he's excellent at. And then

427
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: they did a lot of that this week. So I

428
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: think hopefully if they recommit to the ground game, because

429
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey was looking good before his ankle got banged up,

430
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: things could get right. Not not, you know, comfortable yet

431
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: with this offense, but the pieces are there. They just

432
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: gotta put the puzzle together. Just know where James Starks,

433
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god, that was a bumble was What the

434
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: hell was that? I don't know if we shouldn't talk

435
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: about I'm gonna get mad, and let's talk about some

436
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: top performer, shall we? Shade Hi McCoy a hundred fifty

437
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 1: yards yesterday didn't get into the end zone disappointingly. I

438
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: mean there was two runs where he gosh, he was

439
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: so close, but he just couldn't punch it in. Then they,

440
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, went to Mike Gillesley for some unbeknownst reason.

441
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 1: But so there you go. But a hundred fifty yards

442
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you, I thought he looked amazing. I

443
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 1: thought he looked great. He's doing awesome this year. I

444
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: tweeted this out this morning that Lashawn McCoy is pretty

445
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: much match up proof this year so far. Week one

446
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,119
Speaker 1: verse Baltimore, who has the fourth best run dy in

447
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: the league, thirteen fantasy point. Week two against the Jets,

448
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: second best rundey in the league nine fantasy points. That

449
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: was his floor so far. Week three against Arizona twenty

450
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: three points. Week four against New England, ninth best rundy

451
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: in the league sixteen points, and then yesterday against the

452
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: Rams rundy after facing Shady fifteen fantasy points. So he's

453
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: been consistent. Even when he's not scoring, he's getting double

454
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: digits or near. He plays the forty Niners next week

455
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: and they've allowed four so okay. Week two they give

456
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: up a hundred yards of Fozzy would Ocur. Week three

457
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: they give up hundred six yards and two touchdowns of

458
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 1: Christen Michael. Week four, they gave up a hundred thirty

459
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: eight yards and a touchdown to Zeke, and then this

460
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: past week they give up a hundred and fifty seven

461
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns and David Johnson give me some

462
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: of that and they're on the road. The San Francisco

463
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: defense plays a little better at home, but you put

464
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: them in the Ralph like the shade, he's gonna go shade,

465
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna explode. None. None of this surprises me. I mean,

466
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: I thought before the season that he was probably I

467
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: know everybody was disappointed because last year wasn't great for him.

468
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: It just felt like he was primed for a bounce back.

469
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: He was well because he was he was He's in

470
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: a run heavy offense. He was the only guy there

471
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: who did you worry about taking snaps from him Carlos

472
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: Williams pre suspension. Well, I mean, but but after Carlos

473
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 1: Williams was let go, there was there was nobody there

474
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: to really threaten him for touches. And this is still

475
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: a team that's going to run the ball of time.

476
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: That was even when we thought Sammy Watkins was going

477
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: to bring there. Now that he's not there, who is

478
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: there really, And I don't. I didn't doubt the touches.

479
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: I doubted the offense. And and the other thing about

480
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 1: it too was he looked a little m I don't

481
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: want to say washed, but man, he looked like he

482
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 1: lost his step last I think he I think, and

483
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:39,640
Speaker 1: this is a silly narrative, but I think I feel

484
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: like he lost weight or got in better shape or

485
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: something this here because he's making the type of like, yeah,

486
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: cuts where guys tackle air like he used to see

487
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: when he was coming, you know, just coming into the

488
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: league and joy stick moves. Man. Yeah, it might just

489
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: be healthier right now. That could be. Yeah, I think

490
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: he was because last year was body injuries to next year.

491
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: He certainly performed when he was on the field, maybe

492
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: just not in like the spectacular fashion that we just

493
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: kind of more of a volume grinder role. But now

494
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: it definitely seems like he's more of a playmaker. And

495
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: he has been on the injury report or missed any

496
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: games yet so far. You talk about Jordan's Howard eighteen

497
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: on the ground, five through the air, had a touchdown

498
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: as well. Twenty two Fantasy points for Jordan's Howard there

499
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: in Chicago what do we make of his performance? Well,

500
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: if you listen to my fiery phone in on Friday,

501
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: you would have known to start d R one lock

502
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: of the week. He played of this this bears offensive

503
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 1: snaps on Sunday um last week he played on of

504
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: the snaps. So he's clearly the workhorse with Jeremy Lankford.

505
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: Now there's nobody else. Even Codem Carrey was healthy this

506
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 1: week and head he had two touches. When Jeremy Lankford

507
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: comes back, he's gonna be I'm not second, you know,

508
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he's going to be the starter, right,

509
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: I think Jordan Howard has earned the starting spot. I'm

510
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: not saying that. I'm just saying given the co ching

511
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: staff and given that Lankford is there, Codeem Carry is

512
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: there also, Codem Carrey was there in name, but I

513
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: don't think he was on percentularly healthy yet when they

514
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: have those full complimented guy and it's gonna happen, What

515
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, what are the I guess you know r

516
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: O s outlook for for Jordan's Howard. I think that

517
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: you're on You're at least under a good point here.

518
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: For one, it does say something not good about the

519
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 1: Bears coaching staff that they look like they whipped on

520
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: who the best quarterback on the roster was and who

521
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: the best running back on the roster was. But to

522
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: your point about when when Langford gets back. Howard played

523
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: of the Bear snaps yesterday, I believe he had over

524
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: the week prior to that, or at least Yeah, so

525
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: he had an over nine percent the week before that.

526
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 1: That is very rare for any running back, much less

527
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 1: amid round rookie pick to see that kind of snap share.

528
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: So I think you can't expect that to come down

529
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: and he might not access this kind of ceiling every week.

530
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: U Tevin Coleman. Thirty one on the ground doesn't sound impressive,

531
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: but man, I don't thirty two through the air and

532
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He also had twenty. He had the exact

533
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: same point total as Jordan Howard twenty two point three

534
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: fantasy points. He's got five touchdowns on the season. Uh,

535
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: he's got two twenty plus point games out of five,

536
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: and he's been double digits in four of the falcons

537
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: five games. We're talking about a guy who's supposed to

538
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: be a backup running back and and I'll be honest

539
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: with you too. He goes into mile high. He's got

540
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: that sickle cell trade. Everyone's saying, don't play him. It

541
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: might be a decoy. He might not get that many snaps,

542
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: which I think was the correct like to give made

543
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: sense the thing that's been great about the Falcons running.

544
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: Remember the start of the year, We're like, I don't

545
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: know what to do in this backfield. I don't know

546
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: which you can play him both? Playing both, and everything's

547
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: gonna be fine. You know, Freeman is the runner, Coleman

548
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: is the pass catcher, and both seemed to be able

549
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,440
Speaker 1: to eat in this offense. Right now, it's like Freeman's

550
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,160
Speaker 1: the grinder and Coleman's just the Swiss army name. He's

551
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: like a ploy wherever. He's like that offensive weapon or whatever.

552
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: No running back has accumulated more yards out of the

553
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: slot than Keevin Coleman. Is that right. Freeman just looks

554
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 1: he looks phenomenal running the football though. Between the tackles, yeah,

555
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: he looks unstoppable. His feet, he's so patient his feet,

556
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: like he's picking up extra yards, he's making guys miss.

557
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: And then Coleman just whenever he comes in, he's doing

558
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: I see Marcus is jest like it was. I thought

559
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 1: it was at me. I'm like, what Tavanta Freeman's look good?

560
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: I know I was gonna say, what do you disagree with?

561
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: But no, to your point though, too, Like we were

562
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: talking about this in slack today, Like he Freeman is

563
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: on pace for way less touches than he was last year.

564
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: I believe. I don't even remember the number it was,

565
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: but it's three something last year. Yeah, he's not even

566
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: close to three thirty that he saw last year. But

567
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: that's good like that, sometimes loss of workload can be

568
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: a good thing. We saw Freeman breakdown at the end

569
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: of last year and started averaging under four yards of carry.

570
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: Now it looks like with less touches he can be

571
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: more effective. It's so it's gotta be so weird too,

572
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: write like if you if you are a Davonte Freeman owner,

573
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: it's it's I don't want to say likely, but I

574
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: think a lot of Freeman owners probably invested in Coleman

575
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: to just in case. Yeah, it's like a handcuff as

576
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 1: a handcuffed and now people have that's gonna look so

577
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: weird on your roster, But it's the right move. It's

578
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 1: like back. It's it even more. Oh my god, I'm

579
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: gonna throw up just mentioning this. But it's like what

580
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: I always wish that the Panthers weren't able to accomplish

581
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: when they had D'Angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart there. We

582
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: don't know how the hell to use these two together.

583
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: We'll just give this guy to plays, this guy to plays.

584
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 1: None of it will make any sense, so both be

585
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: at a rhythm and the team will suck. But this

586
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: organization has seemed to find out how to actually use

587
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: two talented running backs together. Fair enough. Terence West uh

588
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon favorite eleven carries ninety five rush yards, didn't

589
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: get into the end zone. But I only bring them

590
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: up because Matt Harmon does like and you look at

591
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: the yards per carry average eleven carry nine five rushing

592
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: yards that it's not alone on the Terence West usually no, no,

593
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: I understand. I understand. Not using Terrence West enough cost

594
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: Mark Trustman his job. Mark trust was fired this morning.

595
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 1: And one of the main reasons that it looks like

596
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 1: it was because anybody watching that game, and I watched

597
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: a lot Sunday, anybody watching that game could be like

598
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: why aren't they giving the ball to Terence Westmore, I

599
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: mean they were gashing running back or Washington they have

600
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: like one or two carries in the second half. Yeah,

601
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: they just refused. And that is that's something that has

602
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: been a consistent thing with Mark Trustman's loves throwing the

603
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: football at the detriment of quality running back. And you

604
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: could you could just see like they were blowing open

605
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 1: holes on that Washington defense that been bleeding yards and

606
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns and production to running backs. It was just very

607
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: obvious to everybody involved and Flacco even before I wrote

608
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: about this in the Opportunity Report today, even going into

609
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: this week, Flacco had complained about the dink and dunk nature.

610
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: Just He's like, we're playing fast, we're running out, we're

611
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: throwing a lot, but we're not doing anything with it

612
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: because we're not going deep, we're not running the ball consistently.

613
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 1: And then sure enough they go out they lose their

614
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: first game. It seems kind of a rash decision. But

615
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: like I said, it was apparent to anybody watching this

616
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 1: that at one point west had ten carries forever a

617
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: hundred yards. And I mean that you have a big back,

618
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 1: you just ride that wave. You probably could have won

619
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: that game simple football, right, and it just yeah, it

620
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,479
Speaker 1: was so nonsensical that I think it did end up

621
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,239
Speaker 1: costing um Trustman his job because of that. So I'm

622
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: kind of I mean, I'm I don't really know what

623
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 1: to make of the Baltimore offense now other than I

624
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: think it'll since clearly Flacco has had a hand in

625
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: getting another offensive coordinator, can do They love Flacco and

626
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: I understand I'm not I'm not saying that to be

627
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: like a jerk about it. That's what happens when you

628
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: have a quarterback that the team's invested in. They're gonna

629
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: do what Flacco wants to do. I think that could

630
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: mean more pita. I think that could mean more deep

631
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: shots to players like Perman. But that's definitely what that means.

632
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: You know what if if they do re establish the

633
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: ground game when Flacco used to be at his best,

634
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: especially throwing the deep bowls when they had a good

635
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: ground game with Ray Rice, and if they actually recommit

636
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: to that set up the play action, that's gonna spring

637
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: Pairman and Wallace over the top. So I think, like

638
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: you never want to see an offensive coordinator loses his job,

639
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 1: but This could be a good sign for fantasy if

640
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 1: it both increases Terence west Works workload and then by

641
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: proxy boost the passing game, because of a passing game's

642
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: best friend is a good ground game. What's up with

643
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 1: Steve Smith? Yeah, I don't think there's I was looking

644
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: for this morning for any updates. Nothing official. It could

645
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: be a high angle sprain. That was what they're saying,

646
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: which which sucks. But I will say, guys, that debut

647
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: with negative one rushing yards is not gonna look good

648
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: on Kenneth Dixon's Hall of Fame resume. Its um. I'd

649
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: sell you it once he starts getting a little healthier

650
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: because he was out there with a I mean, just

651
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: a bionic knee brace on on um. I don't know, man,

652
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, obviously he's not right yet, but it'll be

653
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: interesting to see what happens week twelve. We I mean,

654
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: I didn't expect anything from him, so negative one yards

655
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: is just kind of a hilarious stat line. But I

656
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: do wonder, though, how much this coaching change impacts how

657
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,959
Speaker 1: to how can it Dixon is used. I mean, one

658
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: of the big things about him was his ability to

659
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: catch the football. He was special in that if Mark

660
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: Trustman isn't, they're lining up to throw it forty times

661
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: a game. And that's not to say that he can't

662
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 1: succeed as a running back, but when you take away

663
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: the coach that was going to utilize what was one

664
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: of his big strength, it is going to change his usage.

665
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 1: I think you're looking at like, oh, man, I hope

666
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: for I can hope for like four catches a week

667
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: instead of I can realistically tell myself where this guy

668
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: gets eight or to nine catches away like Trustman running

669
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: backs would. But I mean I think that for the

670
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: month of October it will absolutely be Terence West job.

671
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: You know, maybe in November, late November, December, then maybe

672
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: they mix in Dixon. But that's been my point the

673
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: whole time. Like, guys, I don't care how good you

674
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: thought he looked in college. He's a g D fourth

675
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: round pick. Like that's just gonna walk in and you

676
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: surp a starting job, you gibrones. However, speaking of g

677
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: D fourth round picks, uh, Deavante Booker getting a little

678
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 1: more run in Denver. Oh can we talk about that? Yeah?

679
00:32:46,800 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: I just figured that was a fun segue. Yeah, No,

680
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: you're right, Bookers getting Bookers getting a lot of work.

681
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: Where did I s snaps? Yeah, it was the most snaps.

682
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: It was eleven more than his previous high, which was

683
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: the week before. He played eighteen in Week four. This week. Granted,

684
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: I know, franchise, you noted in your excellent uh or

685
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: running back Touches breakdown that a lot of his work

686
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: came in the second half, but he was still more productive.

687
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,080
Speaker 1: Caught passes out of the backfield, had just three fewer

688
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: yards I think than uh. CJ. Anderson on four fewer touches.

689
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: Should we be in full freak out mode for C. J.

690
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: Anderson has not been good the last few weeks. Well,

691
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: I mean we should be in freak out mode, partially

692
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: because of what we've seen from Davante Booker. But I

693
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: kind of saw a little bit of this coming when

694
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: I looked at the schedule going ahead for the Broncos,

695
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: it just was not very favorable. In fact, I went

696
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: out and I traded C J. Anderson away in a

697
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: couple of leagues because I know, look, and I was

698
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: big year, I was starting things change, you know, Situation change,

699
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: circumstances changed, and so I saw that schedule and I said, well, okay,

700
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: I feel like I've gotten quite a bit of good

701
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: usage out of c. J. Anderson. Now it's time to

702
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: make him someone else's problem. So I was able to,

703
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, package him with a couple of other guys

704
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: and turn him around for Tom Brady and Jordan Howard.

705
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 1: And now you've you've broken the Fantasy football analyst rule

706
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 1: number one, which is when you have it taken and

707
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: you have to die with it, die on that on you.

708
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: But but I think that the interest, yeah, I mean

709
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: book or snap count has gone up every single week.

710
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: I believe it's been a straight, just upward trajectory or

711
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: at least close one dip. But other than that, it's

712
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: been it has been. The trend has been going up.

713
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 1: Uh and uh. I think that going forward, we can't

714
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: expect him to mix in, especially as a receiver. He

715
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: caught a d passes over thirty or twenty three games

716
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,439
Speaker 1: as a college prospect. That's the strength of his game.

717
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a C. J. Anderson is just

718
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: okay doing that. But Marcus is right there coming out

719
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,760
Speaker 1: of probably the hardest point of their run defense schedule.

720
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 1: So I could see things getting lighter going forward. But

721
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: then if book is going to be a primary receiving threat.

722
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: Then you're getting into a situation with Anderson where he's

723
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,959
Speaker 1: like Todd Gurley, which is like, oh, they fall behind

724
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 1: and then you're screwed. Yeah. What I was concerned about, though,

725
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: is like, I know he's had Anderson's had some tough run,

726
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: but this was a Falcons defense that was starting a

727
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: J hawk off the street at middle linebacker and and

728
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: somebody else to like this should have been a situation.

729
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: And granted the Denver they're starting right tackle was out

730
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: and uh Tyler Sambrella or whatever got worked and then

731
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: got benched because he actually made Vic Beasley look like

732
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: a dominant pass rusher. But if he's four sacks, yeah,

733
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: that was it was extremely concerning to me that he

734
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: was not able to do more against this kind of

735
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: beat up front. Seven. Yeah, and they often, I mean,

736
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: they've been talking about the offensive line quite a bit

737
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: and it kind of the wheels kind of fell off

738
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: there for Denver. But you talk about C. J. Anderson too,

739
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: right now, again, eighty four attempts, two d ninety three

740
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: yards uh three point five yards per carry average. It's

741
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,879
Speaker 1: not great, So gosh, I hate to say, but yeah,

742
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: I can imagine guys being pretty freaked out about C.

743
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 1: G Anderson right now. So we shall see. Let's go

744
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,400
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position. Sammy Coats. I don't want

745
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: to say he came out of nowhere, but I mean

746
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 1: a hundred forty yards is two touchdowns. Well, I would

747
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: say he definitely did not come out of nowhere, because

748
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: as soon as he scored a touchdown, I saw my

749
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: entire timeline to start taking victory lab I'm like called

750
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: Sammy Coats this week. I'm like, listen, fellas and ladies,

751
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: if everybody is doing it, that means it wasn't because

752
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 1: everybody could see it coming and it was a pretty

753
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: straight like. I think all of us probably wrote something.

754
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 1: It was in the cards. Yeah, I mean this victory

755
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: lap was like the start of a marathon. There were

756
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,800
Speaker 1: like three thousands are doing here. This is this I

757
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: keep bumping into people. But I think going forward with Coats,

758
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: if I could just interject my thoughts here, probably shouldn't.

759
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: I've never talked about receivers, was an idiot, You've never

760
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 1: talked poorly about Sammy Coats before, so well true, but

761
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 1: I think that Sammy Coats is still you saw like

762
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: the up, the roller coaster ride the Coats coast of

763
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 1: what it was like. I think he had four drops

764
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: in the end, wide open route. You're gonna get that

765
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: with with Sammy Coachs, but credit to this dealers that

766
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: I and I get it. But it's like the same

767
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: thing with Calvin Benjamin and the Panthers have kind of

768
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: shown you that you take the good with the bad

769
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: with that kind of player, especially when he's not, like

770
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, for the Panthers like Kelvin Benjes is a

771
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: feature player, but Coachs is still an ancillary piece for them.

772
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: I think going forward, you can't expect like ups and

773
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: downs in his fantasy production too. You're gonna want to

774
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: play him in home games that because we know the

775
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: Steelers offriends and averages over thirty points at home and

776
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,879
Speaker 1: under twenty three points on the road, So home games good,

777
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: you know, matchups, potential shootouts. Then I think he rolls

778
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: Sammy Coades out there, but other times be ready to

779
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,000
Speaker 1: take like a two for twenty. Yeah. I think it's

780
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: a good sign that since the preseason at least he's

781
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: he's improved. He's improving, like he's getting better. This isn't

782
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: like the ceiling for Sammy Coats. He's gonna get better

783
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,399
Speaker 1: as he develops as a NFL player. They're giving him

784
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: more to I tweeted out, like his next ten stats

785
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 1: were out charts from week two, week four, and then

786
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: week five, and you can see like steady progression in

787
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: running shallow routes, different sorts of patterns and everything, not

788
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: just straight vertical rots and that deep touchdown on like

789
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: the third play of the game, Big man just dropped

790
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: it right in the bucket, hit him in stride and

791
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: he burned whoever was covering. I forget who it was,

792
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: but man, that was nice. And it's so funny too.

793
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: Despite the bad drop, they just keep going to him.

794
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's It's the same thing with like Martevis

795
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: Bryants a better player. I think he has a higher ceiling.

796
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: He's more talented as an individual, but it's the same

797
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,239
Speaker 1: sort of thing, like they lived with the ups and

798
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: downs of Martevis Bryant through doing that again with Sammy Coates.

799
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,360
Speaker 1: T Y Hilton a hundred seventy one yards and a

800
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: touchdown the second a hundred and seventy yard performance in

801
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: five weeks for t Y Hilton. What do we make

802
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: of his performance? Uh? It was good. Um, it was good.

803
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: It was good. I think I think he's doing better

804
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 1: than most expected. Yeah, I think he's doing a little

805
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: bit better than a lot of us expected. But at

806
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 1: the same time, you look at that Colts offense and

807
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: I guess this is how it's gonna be, you mean,

808
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: the way I understand their offense. Not mind you. I'm

809
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 1: not in the huddle. I'm not in the locker room.

810
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly how this works in the Jets

811
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: locker room, right exactly. I've got backup duties. Um, but

812
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: I feel like the way things are planned out is that, Okay, guys,

813
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: with our terrible offensive line and our trash defense, we're

814
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 1: gonna fall behind and then we're gonna let Andrew look

815
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: throw it like a madman the rest of the game,

816
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: and a lot of those throws are gonna go to

817
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. I like it. I feel like that's

818
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 1: their game plan. Weekend Moncrief going out could was the

819
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: best thing that happened to Hilton's value. He has more

820
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 1: double digit target games this year than he did all

821
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: He has couble digit targets in every single game and

822
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: he had. He only did it four times last year.

823
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: And you know I think that, Yeah, Moncreef being out

824
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: is the big deal. Nobody else has stepped up. I mean,

825
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: the tight ends are splitting time. Dorset has seen his

826
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: targets actually go down from six to five to four

827
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,479
Speaker 1: to three. Tow Rodgers is getting catches at the goal line,

828
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: like he's not getting in the end zone. He's just

829
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: catching him at the goal line. Meanwhile, Frank Frank Gore's

830
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 1: Arthur meaning on the sideline like, yeah, it's it's a

831
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: it's a rough show of the Colt's offense. But good

832
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: for t Y, especially at home games. He's another one

833
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: that has pretty drastic home road splits. It's so funny too.

834
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: They just keep forced feeding that ball Duyne. Now they

835
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: don't care. Just give him that ball, give him the ball.

836
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper final I got in the damn end zone.

837
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 1: Hundred thirty touchdown a two point conversion. He didn't score

838
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 1: in eleven of his twelve previous games. All right, going

839
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: to the quarterback position, Big Ben three eight four touchdowns

840
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: at home. He is unstoppable on the road, He's questionable.

841
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: Tom Brady four oh six and three touchdowns. Uh, dude, bro,

842
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean I guess that it was a soft landing

843
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: spot against Cleveland, but come on, man, you can't be

844
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: doing off the street four oh six and three? Come

845
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,360
Speaker 1: on man? Uh, Tom Brady's pretty good. Uh Philip Rivers

846
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: three and fifty nine passing yards, four touchdowns? Hey can

847
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: I can I say, if you're Cleveland, do you at

848
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: least give San Diego a call? Why would do that?

849
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: And that doesn't make any sense for the Browns, Like

850
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 1: why would they hemorrhage draft capital for because they have

851
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: a million draft pick that they're using to restock the

852
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 1: cupboards of their barren roster, Rivers trade those for a

853
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: thirty six year old quarter Philip Rivers doesn't want to

854
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: move to Los Angeles, and I was gonna offense to Cleveland,

855
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: but I mean he doesn't one one with l A.

856
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 1: He's not really gonna want to move to Cleveland. Yeah,

857
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:08,759
Speaker 1: I don't think. I mean, there's been a lot of

858
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: talk about the Charges should just trade Rivers. I don't

859
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 1: want one. I don't think the Chargers believe themselves to

860
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: be that far off, and like if they really shouldn't

861
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 1: be one and four, they're like the best damn one

862
00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: and four too, and the Rivers still has it. If

863
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,160
Speaker 1: they still they probably still think they're in that window.

864
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 1: And you're right, Marcus, don't mean he doesn't even want

865
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: to leave San Diego to a few hours north. What

866
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: what team would trade for him? There's not even a

867
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: team that's like, Man, I'm just saying, I mean, I

868
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 1: think there should would be teams, but would definitely be

869
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,799
Speaker 1: I mean the Jets, I think they will have to

870
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,280
Speaker 1: him right now. I think there's plenty teams that Houston.

871
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, even though they can't because they made a mistake.

872
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like they might want to what

873
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:50,359
Speaker 1: they can't, so they're stuck. Yeah, did any Walker uh

874
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: four catches six or six yards in a touchdown? Because

875
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: he's the best, he's the best wide receiver in the

876
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans was a little not great Hunter Henry though,

877
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: Henry Hunter Henry even with Gates out there, Yeah, he

878
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: was a team he was well he was Gates a

879
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: good game too. Did he mean you got to touchdown?

880
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: Of course that's he's going to do that. I didn't. Well,

881
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: that's what Antonio Gates does with that. That is all.

882
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 1: But but but hunter. Henry was far and away the

883
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 1: leader in the snap count of these guys he played.

884
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: I believe he played. Gates played thirty six. So I mean,

885
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:31,360
Speaker 1: it's it's interesting. I wonder going forward. I mean, I

886
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: think Henry offers them more right now than Gates says.

887
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's a hot take or whatever,

888
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, he certainly does. He does. I mean, my

889
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: my question going forward, though, as Gates gets healthier, how

890
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: much are they going to try to, you know, shoehorn

891
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: him into this offense when they have a younger, good question,

892
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: currently better player than Antonio Gate, which is not I

893
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: think they should roll them both out there. I mean

894
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: they they they have as catchers. I mean, having both

895
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: of them out there would be I think they would

896
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 1: like to. I mean, I think we saw that a

897
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: little bit when they still had Labarius Green and that

898
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: Green had big production. But there were a lot of

899
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: times they were on the field together, and even now

900
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: this year, there's been plenty of times when the Charges

901
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 1: have rolled two tight end. So it's certainly very we

902
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: can move Henry around to Sunday disappointments. Lamar Miller I

903
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: asked this, and I asked this twenty yards. I asked this,

904
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: since Slack today is Lamar Miller bad? I think he's. Yeah,

905
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: I think I think that's probably closer. I don't think he's.

906
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a three point seven yard per

907
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: carry average on there, He's got zero scores. The Houston

908
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: offense is I was gonna say these in general, is

909
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,320
Speaker 1: their next rushing touchdown will be there first? This This

910
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: also was against the best defense in the league. Right, Well,

911
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: it's the same we talked again. We already had this conversation. Yeah,

912
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 1: it's slack like. It's the same thing I talked about

913
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,879
Speaker 1: last week with like John Brown and and this idea

914
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: of like counting it twice, like you knew this game

915
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: was probably coming for Lamar Miller and all these guys. So, however,

916
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 1: you've viewed them going to week five, you should view

917
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: them going forward. I just think it's a question worth

918
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 1: asking because everybody kind of like, oh, the dumb Dolphins

919
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: never gave him enough carries. That's how he's gonna get

920
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: pummeled with carries, That's what I'm saying. And he has

921
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: gotten a crazy carries. He hasn't done a lot with

922
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 1: It's been very ineffective. Um and and I think it

923
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: says a lot to the fact that they've gotten Will

924
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 1: Fuller involved, they have new cop kins. You can't load

925
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,360
Speaker 1: up the box. They're giving him tons of opportunities to

926
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: do something. Charles Sims has faced more eight plus men

927
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: box than m Miller, and Lamar Miller has not produced. So,

928
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know man even I mean going

929
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: back to his Miami I just I thought Lamar Miller

930
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: was fine. I didn't think he was special. He was

931
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 1: under used. When he was used enough, he he he

932
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: flashed some greatness for a streak of like five games

933
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 1: last last year. I mean, he exploded. I've always believed

934
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: and it's true, even for Lamar Miller to an extent.

935
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: Touchdowns are a fickle beast, So you know, the zero

936
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: in some ways it's it's a little flukey, but in

937
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: some ways it is a little bit of an indication

938
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: of how inefficient that's a since offense has been. And

939
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: while some of it, there are a lot of I

940
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of blame to go around. At

941
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: some point, everybody's gonna start looking at the dude who's

942
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: making a whole lot of money under center, who isn't

943
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,399
Speaker 1: who's not moving the offense on a consistent basis is bad.

944
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 1: He's bad. That's what That's why I treated yesterday said, look,

945
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: I know the Vikings defense is good, but can we

946
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: say out loud that that brock Osweilder maybe just using

947
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: that is one of those moves that like everybody but

948
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 1: the team was like, that's not gonna work. Why did

949
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: they do that. The other thing is it's all these

950
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: all these new guys, Osweiler, Lamar Miller, will Fuller, they're

951
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 1: all playing together for the first time. The first month

952
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: or so, everyone just kind of expected, Oh, there's a

953
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: bunch of speed here, there's Tyler Irvan, they got will

954
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: Fuller on the outside and all this stuff, and they're

955
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 1: just they're just not meshing. Yeah. I think there's something

956
00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: to that. But at the end of the day, I mean,

957
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: watch a Texas game. It's gross. I want to add

958
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: in because I was just pulling up I hadn't crunch

959
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: some numbers for Miller when he signed there last year. Uh,

960
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: they're motley crew of running backs that the Texans tried

961
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: it out only average three point nine yards per carry.

962
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: What does Miller have right now? Three point seven or something?

963
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: Like that Miller for his career before he got there

964
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: was averaging four four point six. Yeah, So like, I

965
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 1: think the problem is more so in this offense right

966
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: now than just purely Lamar Miller. But where also their

967
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: their line is not good too there it's been banged up.

968
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: They lost their center, that whist center. So I think,

969
00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I actually think, like even

970
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: though I raised the questions he bad, don't don't you know,

971
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter whether he's good or he's bad.

972
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: He's still gonna get a ton of touches. Uh, And

973
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:30,320
Speaker 1: I would actually like, I think the correct answer is

974
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: to go out and make offers for Miller because the

975
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:36,280
Speaker 1: schedule gets lighter. Eventually he's going to score a touchdown.

976
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: So like I think his owner will will probably be

977
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 1: at this point, they're most frustrated and most aggravated. I

978
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: think this is the perfect time to go out and

979
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: make offers. I put him in my trade for column

980
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: last week. They got Indianapolis, Detroit, Jacksonville, Oakland, and San

981
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 1: Diego and five of their next six games. And it's

982
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: the same thing, like I said, if that was how

983
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 1: you felt going into this week against Minnesota in Minnesota.

984
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:00,080
Speaker 1: You should feel the exact same way, and now you

985
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: can really buy low after his rock bottom against try

986
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: to go do that. But yeah, I'll be doing that.

987
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: Ye Alshon Jeffrey seventy seven yards, It's okay, it's not great,

988
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: but here's saying he's actually ninth in the NFL and

989
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: receiving yards. He's not getting a lot of par Yeah,

990
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,959
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I'm I'm scared. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

991
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: I'm scared. I put him on the disappointments because again,

992
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: seventy seven yards, you're like, okay, that's not terrible, but

993
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: the way he's being utilized in this offense, there are

994
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 1: red flags all over. This seemed like the week for

995
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: an Alshon Jeffrey explosion. Kevin White goes on injured reserve,

996
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: Eddie Royal doesn't practice all week long. You know, we're

997
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: not completely sure what his status is going to be

998
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 1: heading into Sunday, everything seemed set up for against a

999
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: Colts defense that was shaky at best. It seems set

1000
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: up for Alshon Jeffrey to go off. Cameron merritth twelve

1001
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: targ targets, which DAPs to gell are by the way

1002
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: of all the like bold you know, just to though,

1003
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 1: because I picked him up in a PPR league and

1004
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 1: left him in his tweeter. But but al Sean Jeffrey

1005
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: has never had more than seven targets in a game

1006
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: this season. Um and which, by the way, that's not terrible.

1007
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,399
Speaker 1: But he's only led the team one, That's what I'm saying,

1008
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: right And and he's either James you or or Harmon

1009
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: when you tweeted about how Alshan is running around open

1010
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 1: with his hands in the air and Brian Juyer is

1011
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 1: not looking in his direction this week. This week it

1012
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: was most noticeable. I mean, like it's like just several

1013
00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: times they'd cut to Aushan like and especially the fourth

1014
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: down to end the game, then they followed him to

1015
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,040
Speaker 1: the sideline. He's just sitting on the bench like kind

1016
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: of perplexed, Like I don't even think he knows what

1017
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: the hell is going on, like whether he's hurt or not.

1018
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: It is officially like, I mean, it's it's been weird

1019
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: for a while now. I think it's just like what's

1020
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: gonna change, Like they've had they had a guy go

1021
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 1: on I R like that was at least you could

1022
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: throw the conspiracy theory around like we had for like

1023
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 1: they want Kevin White to be the guy Kevil was gone,

1024
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: and then they toss it to Cameron Meredith. Like you

1025
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 1: don't target a guy six times against the Colts defense

1026
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: him as a core player. You just don't do that.

1027
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: I don't get it, And again I just posed the question,

1028
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: is he being freezed out? We mentioned that fourth down play.

1029
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: I watched that fourth down play a hundred times over.

1030
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: He's wide open in the back of the end zone,

1031
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 1: wide open, single pre snap, single coverage. Cam Meredith was

1032
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:32,680
Speaker 1: on the opposite side. He's being triple teamed because the

1033
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: defense knows that Brian Hoyer is going there. Brian Hoyer

1034
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: throws a terrible ball to a triple covered Cameron Meredith

1035
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: with al Seon Jeffrey pre snap reads, single coverage, wide

1036
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: opening the ends for the game. Part about stop it

1037
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: is that last year Brian Hoyer basically had tunnel vision

1038
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 1: for DeAndre Hopkins and just pummeled him with targets. I

1039
00:49:55,120 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: think we all believe that, and that's the that the

1040
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: part that makes it the most confusing and why I

1041
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: keep defaulting to, like all these conspiracy theories about whatever

1042
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: they're doing with al Shan, and people say keep telling

1043
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: me like, oh, well, they're just doing this to depress

1044
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: his value so they can resign him. B S. Dude, Like,

1045
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 1: if that's if al Shan, it would just he's just

1046
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: gonna leave. He's just I'm not coming back here. Somebody

1047
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: else will give him money. That's not that's their strategy.

1048
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: They're dumber than even they might appear. But that's not

1049
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: gonna work for one. And you're right, like he locks

1050
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 1: in on his first read and al Shan's never that

1051
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: first read. That's what makes it so confusing to me.

1052
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Yeah, I don't. I don't know

1053
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: a Juring fifty yards, Julio Jones twenty nine yards? Do

1054
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: we do we need talk about Julio Jones? By the way,

1055
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: can we talk about it? Because Harmon, this very intelligent

1056
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: research take got schooled when Julio went off with three hundred.

1057
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: But now it comes back and it looks swung to

1058
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: his again. Yeah, I mean, just I want to talk

1059
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: about this in the lessons Learned thing that we're gonna

1060
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: do later. But like just this was it was hilarious because,

1061
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: like Calhart said, I thought I really had a smart,

1062
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: reasonable point about why he might not be a top

1063
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: five receiver we can't be concerned about or we should

1064
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: be concerned about his usage. Then he drops three hondo

1065
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: on the Panthers and an idiot. People tweet at me deservedly,

1066
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 1: so I'm not mad at you for doing that, but like,

1067
00:51:14,239 --> 00:51:16,880
Speaker 1: I think this was exactly what I'm talking about in

1068
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 1: this game so far, Julio Jones target totals this year

1069
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 1: are are I just lost my train of thought, but anyways,

1070
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: they're they're five, eight, fifteen, and then you saw six

1071
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah, I mean crazy. Like last year,

1072
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: Julio Jones had a thirty two point nine percent chair

1073
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: of the team targets, he averaged twelve point seven targets

1074
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: per game. Through five weeks, he's seen twenty four point

1075
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: five percent of the team targets and eight point two

1076
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: targets per game. I mean, that is just a mass half, right,

1077
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: and but but it is. It is very, very drastic,

1078
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: and you lose at least a quarter of your volume

1079
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: in the situation that we're seeing right now, and I

1080
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 1: think it is not because of anything that is Julio Jones.

1081
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,319
Speaker 1: But the team is better because they're spreading the ball up.

1082
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: They're using Tevin Coleman in these creative ways. They're still

1083
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: throwing to DeVonta Freeman. They have Mohammed's and new taking

1084
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 1: six targets a game around that level. So I mean,

1085
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: I just I think that there are going to be

1086
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: floor games like this. I mean you already saw it.

1087
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,959
Speaker 1: You already saw it this week and against the Saints again,

1088
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 1: like target totals eight, five, seven, fifteen and six in

1089
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 1: the first five weeks. That there's one outlier there and

1090
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: it's that big three yard game. Can I also say this,

1091
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: they're winning ball games and they're scoring points. Yes, there's

1092
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 1: no impetus at all for that to change, right what

1093
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 1: you're talking about in terms of the targets here. If

1094
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: they were bad, this would be a huge problem. People

1095
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: would be like, why aren't you the ball? Actually, the

1096
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: only people that are saying why aren't you throwing the

1097
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: ball to Julio Jones Hulio Jones fancy owners and quotes

1098
00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: quote my friend Marcus Grant, sorry about your luck, Like

1099
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 1: nobody cares about faith. Falcons don't care the games and

1100
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,360
Speaker 1: they sing, And I think that there's a there's a

1101
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: reason for that. I think that if you. I'm gonna

1102
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 1: eventually go back and actually put some real research and

1103
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: study and thought into this. But just off the top

1104
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 1: by head, it does seem like last year they forced

1105
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 1: fed Julio Jones and like that's never a problems. He's

1106
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: a good player, but the offense is bad. This year

1107
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,520
Speaker 1: they spread things out, they can attack defenses in more ways.

1108
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: Offense is good. So you see the same thing with

1109
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton too. Like the years where they have to

1110
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 1: force feed aging grinks, they don't have anyone else like

1111
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: this year, those are tend to be Dalton's down years.

1112
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 1: Last year Green was like a hundred and thirty target

1113
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: player and the offense was very good. I think that

1114
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 1: there's teams don't want to just jam targets down players throats,

1115
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:35,640
Speaker 1: as much as we want them to do that as

1116
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: fantasy player, makes them a lot easier to defend. When

1117
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 1: they makes them bad, make it makes them bad. Jarvis

1118
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 1: Landry receiving yards, I want no piece of lany speaking

1119
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: of guys that you know, teams try to force feed

1120
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: targets too, and I like Jarvis Landry a lot, but

1121
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: I want this. This broke a massive streak of him

1122
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: seeing double digit targets though, and a lot of it

1123
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: had to do with just the game flow. This is

1124
00:53:57,360 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: a weird one, like the Dolphins got their score on

1125
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: a your Boy Jachim Grant return touchdown and stuff. Dolphins

1126
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 1: we the undrafted drafted player undrafted drafted players. Dolphins ran

1127
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:09,480
Speaker 1: like no plays in this game. Like honestly, I think

1128
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: they only had like forty offensive places they threw eighteen

1129
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:14,479
Speaker 1: pass They threw eighteen passes, So of course the volume

1130
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: is not going to be there. This is just a

1131
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: strange outlier game. But it does speak to Landry's frightening floor.

1132
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: If you're not in PPR and he doesn't see fifteen targets,

1133
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: I am wanting less and less to do with the

1134
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: Dolphins offense and general. That's what I want pieces the

1135
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: weeks go by. I want less is all they ran

1136
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: on offense in this entire game. That's gross. I mean,

1137
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: this offense isn't good though. No, it's not like they

1138
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: need and Landry's type of player needs a good environment

1139
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: to grow. He's like a plan. He needs you know,

1140
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: good soil. The quarterback is like the guy that needs

1141
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:47,920
Speaker 1: to water it. You know. They need that type of

1142
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: situation for a slot receiver to grow. I mean, look

1143
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: at Randall cob had he he fell apart when the

1144
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,280
Speaker 1: offense fell apart. That you know, it's a slot receiver

1145
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 1: tends to be the way that it goes bad. I

1146
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 1: got a planting analogy one, and that was see. I

1147
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: loved Harmon's at all proud, smile the whole time. He's

1148
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:08,319
Speaker 1: like Twitter, Twitter, my people, all right, zach Ertz three

1149
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: catches thirty seven yards. He was supposed to be in

1150
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: a tremendous, tremendous matchup. And and here's the and I

1151
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: wrote this in the rundown too, But I find it

1152
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,720
Speaker 1: interesting that we push bad players in good matchup. Sometimes

1153
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: zach Ertz is fine. Uh, in real life terms, he's fine,

1154
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 1: But for fantasy purposes, he's bad. He's like, they're the

1155
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: chancellor of danger Zone University. What are you talking about?

1156
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: When I when I started talking about when I talking

1157
00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 1: about Daniel Zone players, we're talking about guys that are

1158
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 1: in desperation. Play. I'm not saying play. When I say

1159
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: play Markey's Goodwin, I'm not saying, hey, play replace one

1160
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,839
Speaker 1: of your good players with Mark Goodwin. Zach zach Ertz

1161
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: is playing in a position where there you only need

1162
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: one guy. You see what I'm saying, Like, it's not like, hey,

1163
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: should I play Zach Ertz instead of Cameron Brad No,

1164
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:00,880
Speaker 1: I don't think you should go do that. Man, that

1165
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: that seems like a devil's bargain. If you told me

1166
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,120
Speaker 1: in August, like, hey, you might be looking at the

1167
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,960
Speaker 1: option of Cameron Bradys stop hating on Cameron Braid. I

1168
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 1: mean it's like he's playing well. But I'm saying that

1169
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:13,880
Speaker 1: banging August, you were looking at that as your choice,

1170
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,919
Speaker 1: you'd be like, well, I'm just gonna punt this week

1171
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,399
Speaker 1: and next week. Cameron Bread's a real thing. We gotta

1172
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: respect him. All right, let's talk about top waiver wire Ads.

1173
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: We turn the floor over to the King of the

1174
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: Waiver Geez, I don't know about that waiver Wizard. Well,

1175
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 1: I think I think we've we've kind of already reached

1176
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: this sad point in the season where we need to

1177
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: now try and figure out committee backfields and when the

1178
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:37,960
Speaker 1: right matchups are to play certain guys because there's just

1179
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: been so much running back death so that makes guys like, uh,

1180
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: quiz is not gonna be interesting? Sure, Fozzy Whittaker as

1181
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:45,879
Speaker 1: long as jay St is out, like this coming game,

1182
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: if jay St is still out against the Saints, could

1183
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,359
Speaker 1: be a good one to start Fozzy. They kind of bleed,

1184
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,800
Speaker 1: uh receiving yards to backs. James White saw him. He

1185
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: outsnapped the Garrett Blunt. Now that Tom Brady's back had

1186
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: a decent game, but all Powell has outscored met fourteen

1187
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: PPR for three eight weeks. Wide receiver wise, we talked

1188
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: about Sammy Sammy Coates. He's a good ad. Tyrolle Williams

1189
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: still getting things done in San Diego, and they they

1190
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 1: have the Broncos this weekend, but they still got a

1191
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: lot of other good games against passing defenses. Jeremy Curly

1192
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: owns of the wide receiver targets San Francisco. He's had

1193
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 1: an AD plus in a touch in his last two weeks.

1194
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: I I like to call him Jeremy should be Bruce

1195
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:28,439
Speaker 1: Ellington Curly. And then you know, like Terence Williams will

1196
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: be fine as long as days Bryant's out. It's not

1197
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: a fun play. I don't still don't like playing him,

1198
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: but hey, he's he's doing stuff out there. Uh you know,

1199
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: and then you can read all these NFL dot com

1200
00:57:36,680 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: slash Waivers NFL dot com slash deep dive. Other guys

1201
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:40,880
Speaker 1: like you know, Kenny Britt still doing stuff. He had

1202
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: another game with four catches and over like seventy yards,

1203
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: so we were five weeks. I was pummeling uh Randall

1204
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: Cobb last Sunday because I said Randall Cob has less

1205
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: Fantasy points than Adam Feeling going into Sunday, he still

1206
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: has less points than Adam Falan, but it's because Adam

1207
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,480
Speaker 1: had a really good game a hundred twenty seven yards

1208
00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: receiving its touch dot is he worth a look? I put? Well,

1209
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,000
Speaker 1: he's going into his by this week, so there's no

1210
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 1: reason to prioritize him. And once Stefon Diggs comes back,

1211
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna lead that passing attack as he has so far.

1212
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 1: But in deeper league stealing and Cordello Paterson could be

1213
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: worth Can we just take a moment to acknowledge Cordarol

1214
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: Patterson touchdown pass this coming back? Please please acknowledge this? Hey, Hey,

1215
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,560
Speaker 1: In deeper leagues, he's they're still using him as more

1216
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 1: of like an offensive weapon than a receiver, but they're

1217
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: trying to find ways to put the ball in his hands.

1218
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,400
Speaker 1: Charles Johnson is no longer a thing. Stefan Diggs was

1219
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: out and he played like twelve snacks snap. Yeah, so

1220
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 1: thou thing of and a sneaky one. Ladarius Screen probably

1221
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: probably coming back and probably two weeks or so when

1222
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: they're trying he's trying to come back. So if you

1223
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: have the bench space, stash him right now, because you

1224
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 1: know next week when they're like, oh, Laddy Green's coming back,

1225
00:58:51,280 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be pounding that way where you're trying to

1226
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: find him in staying ahead. Something I noticed rewatching the

1227
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: home Steelers games when Jesse James catch is a past

1228
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: the home crowd still chance he like, it's so funny

1229
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: that is I wonder how many of them is really

1230
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: good at Actually, no, it's not. Are they being ironic?

1231
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: Are they being funny? Are they just like And that

1232
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: just kind of goes to show you, like, God, we

1233
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,880
Speaker 1: take football like so stupid, like seriously, we follow every

1234
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: little nook and cranny. They're hundreds of thousands of people

1235
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 1: probably in that stadium that are like, I have no

1236
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,960
Speaker 1: idea who the starting Yeah, yeah, the team. It's a big,

1237
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: tall white guy that the same dude I Honestly, I

1238
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,720
Speaker 1: had that revelation this Sunday and I thought about that.

1239
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh my god, what am I doing? I

1240
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: will say too quick. If for streaming quarterbacks, if there

1241
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: are those of you that employed that strategy, Mariota has

1242
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: a great matchups this week and Alex Smith going against

1243
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders league worst three thirty point six passing yards

1244
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:54,000
Speaker 1: per game they're currently allowing. And if that turns into

1245
00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 1: somewhat of a shootout with how good the Raiders offenses,

1246
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 1: Alex Smith can climb back in a rollmancy. If you

1247
00:59:59,040 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: and there are friends Denny Carter and j J is

1248
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:02,919
Speaker 1: that Greece and Living the Stream talked about this because

1249
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: they touted Alex Smith two weeks ago before is By

1250
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 1: You remember that primetime game and what a disaster it

1251
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: was Chiefs which you do not remember is Alex Smith

1252
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: was actually the QB eleven that week because of garbage

1253
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: time points. So there you go, Alex Smith, same thing

1254
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: playing this Dealers too. Was I believe he was a quarterback?

1255
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,160
Speaker 1: Like he was a top twelve Fitzpatrick this week? Mean,

1256
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: or who am I talking about? I said Smith from

1257
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, That's what he's talking yeah, and I'm saying, like,

1258
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:27,680
Speaker 1: just that just goes to show you like it doesn't

1259
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: really matter. Yeah, Blaine Gabbert this week, like you said,

1260
01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 1: what did he? Blain gabertt had nineteen Fantasy points this

1261
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:37,880
Speaker 1: week because of his rushage garbage point. Stay, let's talk

1262
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 1: about these week five lessons learned very quickly. Alex Galhard

1263
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: will start with you. Listen, did you listen to yourself

1264
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: if you talk about starting Cameron Meredith started car Just

1265
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: start Cameron Meredith. Don't don't try to feed the matchups.

1266
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: And I just looked back I played Victor Cruz instead

1267
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: of him. Think you that that Packers Giants game was

1268
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: going to have all the points? It did not, And

1269
01:00:57,280 --> 01:01:00,480
Speaker 1: now my fantasy bench has all the points at Harmon.

1270
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: I think I learned two lessons, one being it's something

1271
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,720
Speaker 1: I've always like, I'm continuing to learn this year, and

1272
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: I wish I had hammered him more in the offseason.

1273
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: Players are not robots like you cannot just go this

1274
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:14,760
Speaker 1: player did this in this scheme. Therefore you will take

1275
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 1: what he did in this team and you will double

1276
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 1: it by this many carries that he's gonna get. And

1277
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:20,600
Speaker 1: I think Lamar Miller is the guy that was made

1278
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:22,920
Speaker 1: me think of this was, Look, everybody's like Bill O'Brien,

1279
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: he's loved to run the ball Lamar Miller just needs

1280
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 1: more carries. But you know, maybe there's a reason that

1281
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: he didn't get all those carries. And I think just

1282
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: we talked about Kobe Fleaner being that guy's saying tight ends.

1283
01:01:32,080 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 1: You know, players are not robots. They show us who

1284
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: they are, and you know you can't just give them

1285
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: all the production of the past players. It doesn't always

1286
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 1: work that way. And the second lesson being And we

1287
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: talked about this with A. J. Green and Julio Jones, like,

1288
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: I know that you know, it's our job to talk

1289
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: about fantasy every week and analyze every little nook and

1290
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: cranny of it. And people love to just freak out

1291
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: about fantasy. And I get it. It's probably part of

1292
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: the fund for you people for whatever reason. Um, but like,

1293
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, it's part of the fun for you

1294
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: to freak out about every little week. But like, there

1295
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 1: are peaks in valleys in almost everybody's production. I posted

1296
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: the graph of uh David David Johnson, Todd Gurley, and

1297
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott's productions or and even even David Johnson's higher

1298
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: than Todd Gurley. But there are peaks and there are valleys.

1299
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:22,160
Speaker 1: They're pretty consistent. Todd Gurley peaks and valleys, major peaks

1300
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 1: and valleys. Ezekiel Elliott had down and then he started

1301
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: to come up again. Like that is the way it

1302
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: goes in fantasy. So try not to like wait every

1303
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: week so much, because you know, I mean, stuff happens

1304
01:02:34,240 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 1: to be quite honest, there you go, m g My

1305
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: got Marcus grab. The thing I learned is it's okay

1306
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 1: to believe in the Falcons offense now. But I think

1307
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: I think this was a wait and sea week for

1308
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people because everybody looked at their previous

1309
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: matchups and then saw the Broncos and said, Okay, this

1310
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be the first real test. And yes, Matt

1311
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: Ryan did not have a bonkers game. He had about

1312
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: fifteen Fantasy points, but one he put together a really

1313
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: quality game. If you watch what he did, he looked

1314
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: really solid, no turnovers, no turnovers, And you know, it

1315
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 1: does go along with what Harmon said earlier about Julio

1316
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 1: Jones and his floor in the ball distribution and that

1317
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 1: sort of thing. But on the whole, the Falcons have

1318
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: shown they can be productive, whether it's running the football

1319
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,080
Speaker 1: with Davante Freeman, throwing it to Julio Jones or Tevin

1320
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Coleman or you know, Mohammed Sanu or anybody else. UM

1321
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: this is a good offense, and it starts, you know,

1322
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: with their offensive line, who's been very good this year.

1323
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,439
Speaker 1: So I think going forward you can feel a little

1324
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: more confident about playing some of those guys, regardless of

1325
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 1: the matchups. They go on the road to Seattle next week,

1326
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: and again, not a great matchup on paper, but I

1327
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: think what we've seen of them in the first five

1328
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: weeks suggests that what they did the first three or

1329
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 1: four weeks was not a fluke, and this offense is

1330
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: going to be productive all year. Franchise lesson learned. My

1331
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: lesson learned is that we overestimate bad matchups sometimes. I

1332
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: benched DeAndre Hopkins this week against the Vikings. He had

1333
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: two really bad games, burned me. I bened him for

1334
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: Isaiah Crowel. In my leek of records, Karl gets like

1335
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: four or five points against the UM Patriots and DeAndre

1336
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 1: Hopkins gets a garbage time touchdown. I wanted to punch

1337
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 1: the TV. But I saw him in the end zone

1338
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: with the ball in his hands. It couldn't do anything

1339
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: the entire game. You get the garbage time touchdown. Just

1340
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 1: leave your your star stud first second round picks in

1341
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: your lineup. Don't overestimate the bad matchups because you're just

1342
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna kick yourself like I am right now. I want

1343
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:29,960
Speaker 1: to punch my own face. Franchise is fired up. I

1344
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: gotta save the fire for Friday. All right, there you

1345
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: go Daily DAP to get out he dest because I'll

1346
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: be depth depth Daily DAP time. We shall start with

1347
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: a wiskid from Wisconsin, the Waiver Wizard. I like that.

1348
01:04:50,080 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 1: That's interesting, getting too many nicknames over here. I'm gonna

1349
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:56,760
Speaker 1: adapt Marcus. Marcus Grant tossed me a stack of comics

1350
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: that I had been neglecting because life was a little hectic.

1351
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: But with things fighting down a sect during the season,

1352
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: I was able to read Deadly Class number one this

1353
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: weekend and really enjoyed it very good. So this this

1354
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: coming week I will be diving into the rest of

1355
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: the stack. Marks gave me four trades about him. It's

1356
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: from Rick Remander, who's done so a lot of good

1357
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: stuff that Marcus and I have both read, uh, and

1358
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:17,680

1422
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: I actually anyways, I preached the gospel of the Hibiscus,

1423
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,960

1424
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: That's true, this is true. But at the end of it,

1439
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:05,560
Speaker 1: it's it's light. It's not a sweet. It's not You

1440
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:07,760
Speaker 1: don't get the sugar and carbonation. Yeah, I'm just saying,

1441
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: no more sugar stuff. Plus, it's got vitamin C BRA.

1442
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: It's healthy for you. You know what I mean. Avoid

1443
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 1: scurvy is healthy. That's good point, James. My Daily depth

1444
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: is going to go to those athletes who have tweeted

1445
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: after the presidential debate talking about nude what kind of

1446
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 1: locker room was Donald Trump in? Um? But but especially

1447
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:33,560
Speaker 1: Jacob Tammy who basically says, hey, man, uh, it's not

1448
01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: okay to normalize that kind of talk, and that he

1449
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 1: went out of his way on Twitter, uh to talk

1450
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,120
Speaker 1: about how he does not want to raise his son

1451
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: that way. And so I thought that was pretty cool.

1452
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: Uh sets a good example. And you know, being a

1453
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,000
Speaker 1: professional athlete that he is, he didn't have to do that,

1454
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 1: but but did go out of his way to kind

1455
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: of say, hey, I'd like to raise my kid, right,

1456
01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 1: And I don't think we should normalize that kind of

1457
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,400
Speaker 1: talk that we heard from town our our own Akbar

1458
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 1: even said that. He said to the same sort of thing, said,

1459
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 1: I agree. I've been in locker rooms half my life

1460
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 1: and I could tell you there are far more productive

1461
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 1: locker room conversations hashtag nokes uses. I said today, we

1462
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:13,680
Speaker 1: need to we need to start like a tracker of

1463
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: NFL players doing good things society since we hear all

1464
01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:19,600
Speaker 1: the negative things. But yeah, so same depth stock Bar

1465
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,719
Speaker 1: as well for saying that to a bar's a legit

1466
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 1: hero though. Yeah, he has has chased down and brought

1467
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 1: them to justice. He's a legit hero. That's what's so

1468
01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 1: awesome about the franchis. Give me a daily death. Yeah,

1469
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:36,839
Speaker 1: my daily depth is going to go to Alec Baldwin

1470
01:10:36,960 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: for doing amazing impressions of Donald Trump on SML the

1471
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,720
Speaker 1: last few weeks. They are not They're more than not bad.

1472
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:48,640
Speaker 1: They're amazing. We've been quoting him for the last the

1473
01:10:48,760 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 1: last ten days, we've been quoting Alex Baldwin doing Trump

1474
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 1: around the office and it's great. If you haven't seen those,

1475
01:10:53,800 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: just google and mule his face, his his diction and

1476
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: so perfect. But it's a really good for Alec. Very talent, which,

1477
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: by the way, like impersonation is kind of like an

1478
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 1: underrated art sometimes, I think for actors that can really

1479
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,600
Speaker 1: do it well. I don't know if you guys have

1480
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 1: ever seen the Kevin Spacey Inside the Actor's Studio video,

1481
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 1: but it's with like Leonard Maulkin or whatever, where he

1482
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 1: just sits down with one guy on the stage and

1483
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,040
Speaker 1: then talk and it's I think it's at the end

1484
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:21,280
Speaker 1: of their interview, but he's like, space here, you're good

1485
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: at impersonations. I'm just going to interview you. I don't

1486
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: want to throw you names and you do these people.

1487
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: So they go through the interview and he's like, you know,

1488
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 1: Mr Pacino, it's good to see you here, like miss Hepburn,

1489
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:34,040
Speaker 1: like Glad he does like he does like eight or nine,

1490
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 1: and they are incredible, Like if you would actually close

1491
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,479
Speaker 1: your eyes, you'd be like, that's not Kevin Spacey. So

1492
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: he is like and you never see Spacey do that

1493
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 1: a lot, but oh my god, is he good. He

1494
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 1: might be good at that whole acting thing. Yeah, I

1495
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 1: think it's gonna work out for him. All right, there

1496
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 1: you go. That's the show for today. We appreciate for

1497
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:55,439
Speaker 1: the franchise for the Whiz Kids and Fort Harmon. I'm James.

1498
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 1: I don't go about ran Hold. Don't go
