- 0:21[SPEAKER_01]: first and foremost, I'm putting you on this spot here.
- 0:25[SPEAKER_01]: We started a couple of minutes after the top of the hour because Jacob had some in a comment about my, I got a haircut recently.
- 0:36[SPEAKER_01]: I like
- 0:38[SPEAKER_01]: For those of you who are listening to the podcast, like you can't really tell, but I cleaned up a size a little bit, I kept the top the same length, so I have like little curtain thing going on.
- 0:48[SPEAKER_01]: But Jacob made a comment that I'm forcing you now on air to share with everybody.
- 0:54[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah.
- 0:55[SPEAKER_00]: No, he looks very good.
- 0:57[SPEAKER_00]: Paul, do you see all the listeners?
- 0:58[SPEAKER_00]: I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll show the actual YouTube video stream.
- 1:02[SPEAKER_00]: But, um, he, he does look a little bit like a washed up Italian soccer star this morning.
- 1:08[SPEAKER_00]: In the nicest way possible.
- 1:11[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he looks like he would have been relevant on the pitch about 10 to 15 years ago.
- 1:15[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, very, very relevant on on the internet right now.
- 1:18[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, shut.
- 1:19[SPEAKER_00]: He can take used to be.
- 1:20[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I'm blushing.
- 1:21[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 1:22[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, one of those players, like, I was really good in, like, 2012, I retired probably, like, like, seven, eight years ago, gained a little bit of weight.
- 1:34[SPEAKER_01]: Then now I'm just, you know, one of those, uh, one of those studio analysts for whatever, like,
- 1:42[SPEAKER_00]: Fox soccer or whatever.
- 1:43[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 1:44[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know a whole lot about soccer.
- 1:45[SPEAKER_00]: Honestly, I'm the Maurice Jones drew a washed up Italian soccer stars.
- 1:49[SPEAKER_01]: They're sure that That's the comparison I was expecting the second year today, but I mean, I'll I'll take it.
- 1:56[SPEAKER_00]: I'll try to shut up Maurice Jones drew.
- 1:58[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the young ones Of which they are not many more young and girth than me probably watching this, but the young ones might not remember Just how good he was both in real life for the Jaguar as back nearly
- 2:10[SPEAKER_01]: 2010 as well as a map used he was he's pretty good met he was special he was like five six two hundred pounds just an absolute I Don't there's my my first word for something that's short and wide I can't say because we're in the first two and a half minutes of the stream and I don't want to get demonetized
- 2:34[SPEAKER_01]: shout out YouTube.
- 2:36[SPEAKER_01]: I like having money.
- 2:37[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, but either way, I mean, he was a tank.
- 2:41[SPEAKER_01]: So much fun.
- 2:42[SPEAKER_01]: But either way, we're going to dig into this week's upcoming Bears matchup.
- 2:49[SPEAKER_01]: We've got Bears Falcons here.
- 2:50[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be an exciting game.
- 2:52[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, usually, I mean, if you've seen these episodes before, we usually kick things off for the quick recap of the week before.
- 2:59[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like for the sanity of, do we have to?
- 3:03[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean for the sanity of the people listening and for the sanity of ourselves, I feel like if we keep it as brief as possible, that would be ideal, but the less we talk about it, the better.
- 3:14[SPEAKER_00]: because I mean, the short of it is Tyson Bajan is not who we thought he was and probably who Ben Johnson thought he was.
- 3:23[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'll come out right and say it.
- 3:24[SPEAKER_00]: I was wrong.
- 3:25[SPEAKER_00]: Mia Colta, it's a Latin word.
- 3:26[SPEAKER_00]: It means my fault.
- 3:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 3:29[SPEAKER_00]: My fault.
- 3:29[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I did not think and I said on air.
- 3:31[SPEAKER_00]: I said, I didn't think a Packers blow out was in the realistic range of outcomes.
- 3:35[SPEAKER_00]: That's wrong.
- 3:36[SPEAKER_00]: Because I didn't think a performance like that at a patient was
- 3:41[SPEAKER_00]: in the range of outcomes.
- 3:42[SPEAKER_00]: He was kind of hailed as a guy.
- 3:44[SPEAKER_00]: He's a great arm, but he's a really, he's a good processor.
- 3:47[SPEAKER_00]: He's a good decision maker.
- 3:48[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to get it to the open guys.
- 3:49[SPEAKER_00]: He was the opposite.
- 3:50[SPEAKER_00]: He did not get it to the open guys.
- 3:52[SPEAKER_00]: He did not see the field well.
- 3:54[SPEAKER_00]: He was kind of the antithesis of what he was billed as, and I just didn't see that coming.
- 3:59[SPEAKER_00]: So that's on me that he fence regress.
- 4:03[SPEAKER_00]: We thought they would regress.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_00]: They regressed.
- 4:04[SPEAKER_00]: I think a little bit.
- 4:06[SPEAKER_00]: more than we expected, but again, when you're playing from behind, when you know, when you're often to cancel on the field, it's it's to be expected.
- 4:12[SPEAKER_00]: So I think a lot of that will be right at this week, given that Williams is back.
- 4:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean to me, that's that's that's what the game was, uh, to quote, uh, a coach from long time ago, we're on the Cincinnati.
- 4:28[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, it's, yeah, I think that's summed up pretty well.
- 4:33[SPEAKER_01]: Baging was just, just seen lost, honestly.
- 4:37[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, I don't want to dig too much into it because again, it's a backup quarterback, you know, it's extra anyway, circumstances, what have you?
- 4:45[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like it's not worth digging into as much because it's not the core offense.
- 4:49[SPEAKER_01]: It's not your starting quarterback and, you know, you're not going forward.
- 4:52[SPEAKER_01]: Not God would, you're not going forward with him and any games going forward for the rest of the season.
- 4:58[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it wasn't pretty.
- 5:00[SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't pretty.
- 5:01[SPEAKER_01]: When I had to, so I do my daily bears newsletter over at Pro Football Network and I talked to my boss, shout out Dan tomorrow.
- 5:13[SPEAKER_01]: He told me that, I'm like, hey, nobody really wants to see the scouting reports in the game.
- 5:20[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really want to watch as much of the alt 22.
- 5:25[SPEAKER_01]: Can I just like skip it this week?
- 5:28[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, which is like, normally it's like, okay, I want to do well for my boss like I want to perform well and show that I care, but I'm like, for for the sake of me, uh, we came to a compromise where I did a breakdown of the bears secondary as a unit instead of just the individual performers.
- 5:49[SPEAKER_01]: and I didn't have to write up a scouting report on Beijing or anybody on the offense, which all things considered, I mean, I'll take it.
- 5:57[SPEAKER_01]: But even then, it was rough.
- 5:58[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Jalen Johnson was getting torched.
- 6:02[SPEAKER_01]: It was, you know, Xavier Woods had a couple instances where it looked like he was, you know, running a quick sand coming out of his transitions.
- 6:10[SPEAKER_01]: Dylan Thineman, pretty solid all things considered.
- 6:13[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like people look at those, that one play where he got lost in the end zone.
- 6:20[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's like, that's a bad play.
- 6:22[SPEAKER_00]: You got to talk to the NFL moment, you know?
- 6:25[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
- 6:26[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, everybody has those, it was a bad play, but it's like, that's not going to damper my hyper, my expectations or you just be able to analyze how good he's been this year.
- 6:39[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, secondary was rough, and I'll leave it at that.
- 6:43[SPEAKER_01]: So as we move on, if you, unless you have anything, the last thing that particular game, yeah.
- 6:48[SPEAKER_00]: The last thing I'll add to that is that game to me in a nutshell is why Caleb Williams is so valuable.
- 6:55[SPEAKER_00]: I know there was a lot of discourse after the first two games for Beijing and Keynam where, oh, they just, they were only often so much better.
- 7:04[SPEAKER_00]: They take all the easy stuff, which again,
- 7:08[SPEAKER_00]: What neither of them can do is they cannot come back from 14-0, which is what happens after the first two drives.
- 7:14[SPEAKER_00]: And that's a lot of where the value excuse me of Williams comes from, is that if they don't get off to a great start, he has the ability through his armstarring strength, through his mobility, he can come back from a deficit, whereas I do not believe we have not seen
- 7:32[SPEAKER_00]: Does he have some room to grow, particularly when it comes to playing within the constraints of the offense?
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: Absolutely.
- 7:38[SPEAKER_00]: Sure.
- 7:39[SPEAKER_00]: But he does have that ability to kind of take you out from, to combat from a big deficit, those guys don't.
- 7:47[SPEAKER_01]: that's I mean that's very well said and you know we talk about playing outside structure I feel like that's that's playing outside of the play script you know where kingdom if you execute that you know those first 15 plays are so on offense very well and the defense does their job and you're playing from the lead it's like all right well we can just play you know past first point guard sort of role you know and kingdom's quite good at that
- 8:12[SPEAKER_01]: But you know, I'll do respect to him.
- 8:14[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't have that ability to all right.
- 8:16[SPEAKER_01]: Well, we need the big plays to catch up from behind.
- 8:18[SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't have that ability.
- 8:20[SPEAKER_01]: Beijing doesn't, you know, really have that ability either.
- 8:25[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, last week, it didn't really look like he had the ability to, you know, be that past first point guard distributor either.
- 8:31[SPEAKER_01]: So, uh, yeah, I mean, all things considered just a rough game all the way around.
- 8:38[SPEAKER_00]: There it is.
- 8:40[SPEAKER_00]: He's good for one a week.
- 8:41[SPEAKER_01]: I'm good for one a week.
- 8:42[SPEAKER_01]: I swear to God.
- 8:44[SPEAKER_01]: Anywhere else in my apartment.
- 8:46[SPEAKER_01]: I never sneeze, but anytime I sit right here, another one's coming.
- 8:52[SPEAKER_00]: There it is.
- 8:54[SPEAKER_00]: Ah, he is the Olamides, a kiss of coughs when it comes to drops, right?
- 8:59[SPEAKER_00]: It's a kiss was always good for one or two drops a game, and if I'm just good for one or two pieces a game.
- 9:05[SPEAKER_00]: That's not.
- 9:06[SPEAKER_01]: Can I get it?
- 9:06[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what it is.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 9:08[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 9:09[SPEAKER_01]: This is, I don't know, I apologize to anyone that may have years that is listening.
- 9:15[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, you know, I was thinking about, you know, all right, maybe I turn it off, you know, maybe I turn off the mic or something like that, but you know, there's dead air, you know, we just we just be sitting here and, you know, especially like, you know, you said your piece and then we have to wait for an extra five seconds for me to get done sneezing or whatever
- 9:39[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 9:41[SPEAKER_00]: All these professional shows, you know, the broadcasters that have the cough button, you know, why?
- 9:45[SPEAKER_00]: Why?
- 9:46[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 9:46[SPEAKER_00]: It's just like, it's prettier yourself.
- 9:48[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you're a human.
- 9:49[SPEAKER_01]: You're a human being.
- 9:50[SPEAKER_01]: I know you're going to sneeze and cough and, you know, you're going to fart on TV, it's like, who cares?
- 9:54[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Tom Brady, let one loose go nuts, anyway, I don't know where I was going with that.
- 9:57[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know where I was going with that.
- 10:00[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know where I was going with that.
- 10:01[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know where I was going with that.
- 10:02[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where I was going with that.
- 10:03[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know where I was going with that.
- 10:04[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know where I was going with that.
- 10:06[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we can just, we can, we can segue by saying, I think the depth of the quarterback room certainly was tested.
- 10:14[SPEAKER_00]: I think they played
- 10:17[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I would say a little bit below expectation, but no matter how you slice it, they went to in one without kill.
- 10:24[SPEAKER_00]: They went to in one with their backup quarterbacks, and I will take that as a win, even if the wins were against, I mean, the Eagles win was, I guess, somewhat impressive, that team is catering right now.
- 10:34[SPEAKER_00]: They were certainly healthier back then than they are now.
- 10:37[SPEAKER_00]: And then obviously when he gets the jets, but they got, they went to him along with that Caleb, Caleb comes back.
- 10:43[SPEAKER_00]: I would note he did go full full full this week in practice and as currently listen questionable, but as we and everyone else on Planet Earth suspects he will be back this week.
- 10:54[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, if you're practicing in full three games in a row, I mean, fairs pretty well for your projection going into this game.
- 11:02[SPEAKER_01]: It's kind of like a week and a nod.
- 11:03[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, okay, still listed as questionable, but it's like,
- 11:07[SPEAKER_01]: come on, you know, I mean, we know he's going to play at the end of the day.
- 11:11[SPEAKER_01]: Kyler Gordon's an interesting one where he's, you know, technically still in the 21 day practice window, Ben Johnson was incredibly complimentary of him in the last press conference which I feel like that's the first time that I've heard Ben Johnson say something nice about Kyler Gordon since he's been here.
- 11:28[SPEAKER_01]: But...
- 11:30[SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's worth noting the, you know, the 21 day practice window is approaching the bears have to make the decision.
- 11:38[SPEAKER_01]: They don't have to make it before the Falcons game, but they can make it like they have to make it like right after.
- 11:43[SPEAKER_01]: Whether they're going to activate him or, you know, Kevin out for the rest of the season and it's looked like they're going to activate him if just a matter if it's going to be for this game or for the next one.
- 11:53[SPEAKER_01]: Against the Patriots.
- 11:54[SPEAKER_01]: So.
- 11:56[SPEAKER_00]: We'll see on that, but I think they have to activate him.
- 11:59[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, their secondary clearly is showing its cracks.
- 12:02[SPEAKER_00]: It did last week, and they're going to get tested again by what is now that Phoenix is at the helm.
- 12:08[SPEAKER_00]: This is a very foreign formidable Falcon dolphins.
- 12:11[SPEAKER_00]: They're going to have to shut down Drick London Kyle Pett's Museum Robinson.
- 12:18[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're, they're in need of everything they can get.
- 12:20[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they can even use Gordon.
- 12:21[SPEAKER_00]: I think people forget Gordon's great blitzing out of the nickel.
- 12:24[SPEAKER_00]: I'm assuming Yojik that is in reference to me.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
- 12:27[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh, Josh.
- 12:31[SPEAKER_00]: Good morning.
- 12:32[SPEAKER_00]: And as Caleb scared, dude, I'm so done with this discourse.
- 12:35[SPEAKER_00]: Like, who cares?
- 12:37[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 12:38[SPEAKER_00]: Because he was a thing, maybe it was a great one, which I don't think it was, because he would have been back.
- 12:41[SPEAKER_00]: But if it, then he looked soft and it's like, listen, he said it, I think we all knew at the time.
- 12:47[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of that emotion on the field came from, he didn't want to not be out there.
- 12:53[SPEAKER_00]: He was scared of like, he didn't know what was going to happen.
- 12:56[SPEAKER_00]: How long was it, you know, he is knowing the moment.
- 12:58[SPEAKER_00]: And so, I'm sorry, I'm going to, he worked up.
- 13:01[SPEAKER_00]: I'm so tired of this, like, yeah.
- 13:04[SPEAKER_00]: This is he's played this is third season.
- 13:07[SPEAKER_00]: He played was 34 straight games coming into the season and then you know 36 straight games like he's clearly not he's clearly not soft Everyone feel forget this We're now in weeks six.
- 13:17[SPEAKER_00]: Everyone in the NFL is injured whether or not on the report whether or not they're missing time everyone is hurting everyone's got something Like the guy and yet the guy had hadn't missed a game at all in his career until until the Sam tree flare up
- 13:31[SPEAKER_00]: So like I don't care what the great is like he's gonna be back this week.
- 13:34[SPEAKER_00]: He's gonna be fine.
- 13:35[SPEAKER_00]: I'm done with this all this course ran over
- 13:38[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 13:38[SPEAKER_01]: You and me both.
- 13:40[SPEAKER_01]: I do like the profile picture, though.
- 13:43[SPEAKER_00]: That's that's great.
- 13:45[SPEAKER_00]: For the audio only people.
- 13:47[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's Joe.
- 13:50[SPEAKER_00]: Well, it's Joe from family guy, but instead it's
- 14:04[SPEAKER_01]: I remember the scene vividly where like lowest is out of town and Joe's pretending to be the mom.
- 14:09[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, like they're going to back to school shopping and Chris is like, it's like, I don't know, Joe's like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
- 14:22[SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to get in the voice, are you ready to go buy some pro-practors and slacks and then Chris is like, I want blue jeans and then Joe yells you're getting slacks so good so good.
- 14:36[SPEAKER_01]: I
- 14:38[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, I mean, the rest of the injury report and we do have another comment in the YouTube chat that I will get to, but I promise we do have a couple of things we do want to get to first.
- 14:55[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, and we mentioned Kyler Gordon, Caleb Williams, Requestable, Tyreec Stephens, and also questionable.
- 15:00[SPEAKER_00]: So, and Montess what is out, right?
- 15:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, that's true.
- 15:04[SPEAKER_00]: Because there's two things for, for Pete.
- 15:06[SPEAKER_00]: Do we know yet exactly what the PED is?
- 15:09[SPEAKER_00]: Because a two game suspension seems like pretty light, if it was, you know, yeah, I don't know if you've any thoughts on this.
- 15:17[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think there's any corroborated.
- 15:19[SPEAKER_00]: There's been, obviously, like, speculation, but nothing that's been corroborated.
- 15:24[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, whatever PD he was taking, it's not working.
- 15:27[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's been, yeah, he's been respectfully cheeks this year.
- 15:31[SPEAKER_01]: But you know, I don't know, nothing has come out to my knowledge as far as like specifically what it was or, you know, the dosage or whatever or, you know, what it was designed and help, but yeah, I mean, they're going to be down.
- 15:45[SPEAKER_01]: And I know we'll talk, we'll talk about that here as we, you know, break into the,
- 15:50[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the actual match I preview of it all, but it's a banged up bears defense for sure.
- 15:56[SPEAKER_00]: And they really didn't come out of the season with a ton of depth.
- 15:59[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, guys like.
- 16:01[SPEAKER_00]: uh, hearty, dental hearty, we're getting a lot of snaps at the end.
- 16:05[SPEAKER_00]: I believe Jim our turner is back this week.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 16:08[SPEAKER_00]: So he probably, I'm guessing he'll get some snaps in three tech, five tech, why like he'll he'll probably be a little bit all over the formation just depending on on the looks they get and kind of what they need from him.
- 16:20[SPEAKER_00]: But I mean, yeah, uh, Jeremiah Kroma shut out preseason.
- 16:24[SPEAKER_00]: He might get some snaps.
- 16:25[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're going to
- 16:26[SPEAKER_00]: I think it might be a spot where Dennis Allen is just like rotating guys like who's fresh and who can be effective because again, like as I said, this is a very strong Falcon's offense and like something that I think fullness from sweat is sweat.
- 16:39[SPEAKER_00]: For me, some of his flaws as a past Russia is really great setting the bronze setting the edge.
- 16:45[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'd be John Robinson could rush for two or yards on this defense.
- 16:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, no genuinely.
- 16:52[SPEAKER_00]: And if I'm the Falcons, like that's kind of how I want to play it.
- 16:55[SPEAKER_00]: I want to kind of put like play Ben Johnson's game where it's both its ball control.
- 16:59[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's having possession.
- 17:00[SPEAKER_00]: It's let's just get six, seven year to carry you know down the field.
- 17:03[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm scared because I don't think the bears kind of have the bodies right now to to combat that.
- 17:11[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm unfortunately I'm with you there and I feel like that's going to be it's huge for the Falcons just run the ball up the middle.
- 17:18[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, especially with that interior offensive line they have.
- 17:22[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Chris Lindstrom, all pro guard, Matthew Bergeron, a top performer at guard Ryan Newsle.
- 17:29[SPEAKER_01]: He stepped in as Drew Downman's replacement.
- 17:32[SPEAKER_01]: He's been phenomenal as well.
- 17:33[SPEAKER_01]: So Jake Manley's that I believe was injured.
- 17:36[SPEAKER_00]: He's back this week around the left tackle.
- 17:39[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he's a bust for a very, very long time.
- 17:42[SPEAKER_00]: And now it's suddenly he's quietly put together.
- 17:45[SPEAKER_00]: almost a 15 year career and the NFL is starting tackle.
- 17:48[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I got to give him credit.
- 17:49[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he's, you know, he's made his money.
- 17:51[SPEAKER_01]: He's stuck around for a long time.
- 17:53[SPEAKER_01]: He, again, he's at the stage where it's like, all right, there's more football behind him than ahead of him.
- 17:58[SPEAKER_01]: But wait, wait, yeah.
- 17:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, absolutely.
- 18:00[SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, hell of a career for that guy.
- 18:03[SPEAKER_01]: I, and then yeah, as we move into the Falcon side of things, I pretty light.
- 18:08[SPEAKER_01]: from a, you know, from an injury report perspective, quarterback CJ Henderson is out with a groin injury.
- 18:17[SPEAKER_01]: So I know a lot of people typically, you know, you think about him as, all right, well, he was the bus corner out of Florida, the Jacksonville talk in the top 10.
- 18:25[SPEAKER_01]: You know, and certainly he hasn't lived up to the expectations of being a top 10 pick, but
- 18:31[SPEAKER_01]: analytically he's he has been the best corner that the falcons have had uh... but which isn't saying much because you know that that group hasn't been all that phenomenal this year but uh... cj handerson does have an eighty point three pfn qb impact grade which is like as an average starter
- 18:51[SPEAKER_01]: So, and the other starter along that is Mike Hughes, who's near the bottom of the barrel with the 67.1 grade.
- 19:00[SPEAKER_01]: So, you've got Mike Hughes, you've got Avion Terrell, who's been playing primarily in the nickel.
- 19:04[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to kick him outside.
- 19:06[SPEAKER_01]: So, we'll see how that goes.
- 19:08[SPEAKER_01]: And then Zaderia Smith is questionable with the neck injury.
- 19:11[SPEAKER_01]: And that's worth noting because, I mean, they're already thin.
- 19:15[SPEAKER_01]: outside linebacker James Pierce Junior still suspended Jalen Walker's out for the year that's your top two edge rusher's right there.
- 19:22[SPEAKER_01]: DeAngelo Malone is on the public you know that's a depth guy who's been in the organization for a few years so
- 19:29[SPEAKER_01]: that that's a pretty thin group of adventures, but that's it for the falcons that those are the only injured players they have, so for the most part what you see is what you get, Michael Panix is healthy, no design, no injury designation whatsoever, he's going to be good to go for this game.
- 19:46[SPEAKER_01]: So he's been balling for sure.
- 19:48[SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, yeah.
- 19:49[SPEAKER_00]: And you know, as someone that plays a lot of fantasy, like it's good to see because
- 19:54[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we know just how good Drake London, Beauty and Robots and R, Kyle Pitz are, but like when you have Jack Strand, Cooper Rush, two of them, I mean, they're not factors.
- 20:03[SPEAKER_00]: So it is, it's good to see this Falcon's offense humming.
- 20:07[SPEAKER_00]: They're a lot of fun to watch.
- 20:09[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, just up top with B. Jean and Drake London, I mean, these are guys clearly top five.
- 20:14[SPEAKER_00]: B. Jean, you know, maybe top three at his respective position.
- 20:18[SPEAKER_00]: They're a lot of fun to watch and the bear's often just going to need to keep up with them.
- 20:23[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we can kind of transition into the game outlook, but I kind of wrote down, is this like a first to 40 game?
- 20:29[SPEAKER_00]: If you've told me the Bears put up 31 points and lost like I'd believe you, this game is out of Atlanta, it's in a dome, there's not really any weather concerns here.
- 20:40[SPEAKER_00]: As we noted, the Bears defenses bad and injured, the Falcons defenses bad and kind of injured.
- 20:46[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this is not coughing, baby, first coughing, baby.
- 20:50[SPEAKER_00]: This is hydrogen bomb versus hydrogen bomb.
- 20:52[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
- 20:53[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I'm kind of excited, honestly, to see how it's going to play out because you have two high powered offences that have been playing at extremely high levels that Falcons offensive line, especially the interior has been tremendous this year, and the bears interior defensive line has been a weakness.
- 21:11[SPEAKER_01]: So in theory.
- 21:13[SPEAKER_01]: give the ball to be Jean Robinson run it up the middle and TJ Edwards being out to I mean he's the better of the two bears linebackers as far as you know standing his ground near the line of skirmitch taking on blocks and then plugging up holes in the run game I mean David Bush is a better athlete but Bush is better in space for sure uh so but you do have you know Edwards being that downhill thumper type you're not going to have him in this game uh
- 21:39[SPEAKER_00]: you're going to get probably what the Marco Jackson maybe a little bit of a jack sandborn.
- 21:43[SPEAKER_00]: I like the Marco Jackson, but he kind of to me plays more of the Devon Bush rule right more.
- 21:49[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's more of a cover guy.
- 21:50[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, that boats well against the past, but yeah, I mean, I don't know how they're going to stop the run.
- 21:57[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to have to load the box and just dare peanuts to beat them deep.
- 22:01[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I, I, I'm with you and I mean, it's a possibility that Atlanta could beat them deep.
- 22:08[SPEAKER_01]: I, especially with what we saw Jordan love and that Falcons offense be able to do.
- 22:13[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I,
- 22:14[SPEAKER_01]: I'm of the belief, excuse me, that the Falcon's wide receiver room isn't as good as the Packers, but Drake London, I mean, obviously is an incredible player, Kyle Pitz, when the Falcon's include him in the offense is a very good player.
- 22:30[SPEAKER_01]: And for as unrefined, or maybe unproven, as the Falcon's wide receiver room is, they do have speed, like you can't deny that, I mean, it's
- 22:39[SPEAKER_01]: Alameda Zacchaeus, again, we mentioned him earlier in the show, shout out to him.
- 22:45[SPEAKER_01]: He's good for a drop of game, but he's fast.
- 22:47[SPEAKER_01]: Johan Dodson's fast, Zachariah branch, the rookie at a Georgia, also incredibly fast.
- 22:52[SPEAKER_00]: Those aren't household names by any stretch of the imagination.
- 22:56[SPEAKER_01]: And on a down by down consistency, I think that none of them really scare me.
- 23:01[SPEAKER_01]: But if you have, you know,
- 23:03[SPEAKER_01]: that speed there's always that threat of okay maybe they can separate deep by just being faster than the bear's corner backs and then you know the rate the panics is playing maybe they'll be able to you know he'll be able to hit him and stride and then the falcons will get some explosive plays that way so it's definitely it does have the makings of a shoot out for sure
- 23:22[SPEAKER_00]: Although, on the opposite side, as fast as those other guys are, they're fast and not good.
- 23:27[SPEAKER_00]: Drake London is slow and good.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 23:29[SPEAKER_00]: Now, I wonder a lot of, I think, a lot of Joe and Johnson's issues, that he has come from, he was never a particularly fast corner.
- 23:36[SPEAKER_00]: Now, he looks even slower.
- 23:38[SPEAKER_00]: You know, he maybe have a chance for a bounceback game, given that Drake London is not likely to beat him with speed, and Johnson can just really rely on his like, man-and-man technique.
- 23:49[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know.
- 23:50[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think that's possible?
- 23:53[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, potentially, I feel like that's, it's got to be the hope at this stage for Jalen because, I mean, yeah, the explosiveness just isn't there.
- 24:03[SPEAKER_01]: It's weird to say about a guy who's 27 years old, but it does feel like he's cooked.
- 24:09[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, I mean, I know he entered the league young, so he has like, you know, this extra year or two of NFL games to his resume, but
- 24:18[SPEAKER_01]: still I mean you still have guys who are 27 years old and like they're just now hitting free agency and getting you know massive extensions like oh they're in the prime of their career you know things are looking up for them and then jailens on the opposite end where it looks like okay he's on the way down he might be a cap casualty uh this coming season so he will be there pick good up a 25 million dollars i think they can we talked about this very early on this season i think they can
- 24:44[SPEAKER_00]: close to 20 million by cutting it, maybe even more.
- 24:47[SPEAKER_00]: So he'll be happy if Gordon doesn't get back it helped you get good, he'll be gone.
- 24:54[SPEAKER_00]: We didn't mention this, but given this suspension, there is, I believe, either know or a lot less guaranteed money on this example.
- 25:01[SPEAKER_00]: So now he becomes a guy that they could barely easily, very easily move on from this offseason.
- 25:06[SPEAKER_00]: The bears could come into the offseason with close to $100 billion in cap space could be interesting.
- 25:12[SPEAKER_01]: 100% and it's crazy too because you're like going into this
- 25:17[SPEAKER_01]: off season.
- 25:17[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, okay, well, they're the moves.
- 25:19[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to make.
- 25:19[SPEAKER_01]: It's like, all right, well, great.
- 25:20[SPEAKER_01]: You Jared, it's as good as gone.
- 25:23[SPEAKER_01]: Dio's as good as gone.
- 25:24[SPEAKER_01]: Or, you know, this is what we were saying before the season.
- 25:27[SPEAKER_01]: But you probably keep sweat.
- 25:28[SPEAKER_01]: You probably keep Jalen and then, you know, you go from there.
- 25:32[SPEAKER_01]: But now it's kind of looking like the opposite.
- 25:34[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I still think, great.
- 25:35[SPEAKER_01]: Jared, you know, is probably gone in the grand scheme of things.
- 25:38[SPEAKER_01]: Like, they're not performing at the level that he's getting paid at.
- 25:41[SPEAKER_01]: I forget you on the team.
- 25:42[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, he just, yeah, he doesn't show up half the time.
- 25:45[SPEAKER_01]: What does he do, you know, like it's, it's, it's filled off a space quote.
- 25:49[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what exactly do you do here?
- 25:51[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
- 25:52[SPEAKER_01]: And it's, I don't know.
- 25:54[SPEAKER_01]: It's unfortunate because again, the guy's had a hell of a career, but I mean, he's a total lot of factor and his cap number, I pulled it up on over the cap.
- 26:02[SPEAKER_01]: His cap number next year is $17.5 million.
- 26:05[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, obviously that's a guy you're letting go.
- 26:08[SPEAKER_00]: But he's kind of exhibited of when
- 26:12[SPEAKER_00]: When a guy like that hits freeze and sees slash gets cut, there's a reason.
- 26:17[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 26:17[SPEAKER_01]: There's always ways to manipulate the cap.
- 26:19[SPEAKER_00]: There's always decisions to make.
- 26:21[SPEAKER_00]: And so a lot of times, oh, like, oh, like, great Jared's a for agent now.
- 26:23[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's a reason why.
- 26:26[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think the Falcons got out at the right time on him.
- 26:30[SPEAKER_00]: And I think, yeah, I thought it was okay.
- 26:33[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe in hindsight, they had the money to do it.
- 26:34[SPEAKER_00]: But clearly, a lot of times when guys hit freeze and see when they're on the market, there's a reason.
- 26:40[SPEAKER_01]: 100%, and I mean, I'm looking at it from the perspective of, so I'm playing with their salary cap calculator right now.
- 26:49[SPEAKER_01]: If they cut month, so as of right now, with no restructures, no nothing, the bears are at, so it's negative $1 million in cap space for $20.27, but
- 27:02[SPEAKER_01]: Let go of Montes let Jalen Johnson and Grady Jarrett know other moves from there that alone is 49.4 million dollars in cap space that you have freed up.
- 27:12[SPEAKER_01]: That's enough where all right if Kobe Turner the defense attack of the Rams or Moro a Joe mo the defensive tackle for the Eagles.
- 27:19[SPEAKER_01]: They've become available you can not only afford those guys, but you can also afford you know.
- 27:25[SPEAKER_01]: one or two more like solid swings for on starting caliber players on the defensive side of the ball.
- 27:32[SPEAKER_01]: And that's, you know, maybe, I mean, I don't know.
- 27:34[SPEAKER_01]: You do whatever you want with Kyler Gordon.
- 27:38[SPEAKER_01]: That whole situation remains to be seen.
- 27:41[SPEAKER_01]: You have a couple of guys where you could easily adjust some contracts, free up some cap space.
- 27:46[SPEAKER_01]: You could be looking at some serious money down the line.
- 27:48[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, obviously, that's that's way far down the line.
- 27:51[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, you're starting to see, all right, who's going to stick around and who's not?
- 27:57[SPEAKER_01]: But,
- 27:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, we can get more into that in the off season.
- 28:01[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of last thing I wanted to touch on for you to score predictions is, you know, do you have any concerns?
- 28:09[SPEAKER_00]: We said this is, you know, this is first 40 this should be a shootout.
- 28:11[SPEAKER_00]: Do you have any concerns with the bears offense given?
- 28:14[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb is returning from injury, right?
- 28:16[SPEAKER_00]: We think he's healthy or healthy enough to play.
- 28:18[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe he's not.
- 28:20[SPEAKER_00]: Lovelin has been kind of a non-factor, Odensian burden of an hit or miss.
- 28:25[SPEAKER_00]: I think there could be an issue at running back where it seems like Swift has been better, but I'm okay.
- 28:30[SPEAKER_00]: I've been better when they can kind of rotate and they're fresh.
- 28:34[SPEAKER_00]: Roach on Johnson just does not look like he belongs anywhere besides the one-yard line.
- 28:38[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 28:39[SPEAKER_00]: I mean,
- 28:40[SPEAKER_00]: Do they just have to give Swift 95 plus percent of the snaps and then he's tired and like I think you can poke holes and in the bears offence, but how do you feel like do you think they can keep up with what we expect to be Industry don't game against a very good falcons offense.
- 28:58[SPEAKER_01]: So I have confidence in this bears offense and maybe it's not so much in the aspect of all right.
- 29:04[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think that
- 29:06[SPEAKER_01]: They have, you know, elite weapons.
- 29:08[SPEAKER_01]: Like I think they have a great group of weapons, but none of them are particularly elite, they just have a handful of really good players in my opinion.
- 29:16[SPEAKER_01]: So I do think that part of the allure with the passing attack is it's the pick your poison sort of deal where.
- 29:25[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Luther Burden is somebody who hasn't proven to be elite yet, but he's proven to be quite good.
- 29:31[SPEAKER_01]: You have to respect his game.
- 29:32[SPEAKER_01]: You have to watch out for Roman Dunesay where he's somebody where, okay, maybe the ball security remains an issue, but he can separate at a high level.
- 29:40[SPEAKER_01]: He's a very good athlete.
- 29:41[SPEAKER_01]: He's a good route runner.
- 29:42[SPEAKER_01]: He's, you know, a really good athlete.
- 29:44[SPEAKER_01]: Coastal level and two, I mean, there's been the whole discourse of he has more run blocking snaps so far this year than he has receiving yards.
- 29:53[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so they haven't necessarily fully unlocked his potential in the offense this year.
- 29:57[SPEAKER_00]: But now I wonder how much of that is because Caleb's been gone, right?
- 30:01[SPEAKER_00]: Like, yeah, there was, there was crew.
- 30:03[SPEAKER_00]: It's, it's, this offense is so hard to kind of, uh, analyze because you had the 59 point game where they rushed for like the most yards in franchise history and then the monsoon and then Caleb's at heart.
- 30:14[SPEAKER_00]: So it's like, yeah.
- 30:16[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, maybe the reason yeah, he's run, run blocking so much is because Kate was been out and they can't throw the ball in there or not as easily and they need to block six guys, they need to to run the ball more.
- 30:27[SPEAKER_00]: So I think it's like this has been every week someone's been saying it like a bilo, bilo, bilo, coals, and lovelin.
- 30:34[SPEAKER_00]: I still would try and buy him because
- 30:36[SPEAKER_00]: this is like the way that they're gonna truly unlock this offense and be competitive as they have to kind of play through him.
- 30:41[SPEAKER_00]: Like they did it down the stretch and I think I don't think we've really seen enough like true like good sample snaps of him this year because of just the how flukey the season has been game to game.
- 30:54[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean it's been like you could really make the argument from a bear's perspective as you can't you don't really know what they are.
- 31:03[SPEAKER_01]: right now, because their season, the circumstances have been so bizarre and so like unique that in a perfect, like in a vacuum, you don't really know what the true potential of this team is.
- 31:17[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, yeah, they have a three and two record, you know, they're firmly in the playoff mix, you know, the very early stages of the season, but we don't know they're sealing at all, right?
- 31:28[SPEAKER_01]: We also don't know their floor.
- 31:29[SPEAKER_00]: That's true.
- 31:31[SPEAKER_00]: That's true, so they don't, they don't have any easy schedule, you know, Caleb could collaborate as hamstring that he fends could, you know, continue to get worse and not better.
- 31:41[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's, it makes for just an interesting watch where you don't really know what you're going to get.
- 31:45[SPEAKER_00]: We tweak its, you know, the cardiac bears might be back.
- 31:50[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, they might have to be.
- 31:52[SPEAKER_01]: I, which would, wouldn't be good for my heart health, but
- 31:57[SPEAKER_01]: be a fun football to watch.
- 31:59[SPEAKER_01]: So as we get into the score predictions here, I mean, we both said we think it's going to be a shoot out.
- 32:05[SPEAKER_01]: I have a very specific set of circumstances for this one.
- 32:08[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to end up 31 to 30 bears.
- 32:11[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's going to end with a Cairo Santos game winning field goal.
- 32:17[SPEAKER_01]: uh... and i say that it's going to be less than fifty yards uh... because anything beyond fifty uh... just some reason he forgets at a kick the ball uh... but yeah i'm gonna say it's gonna be a forty four yard field goal uh... in the absolute last second to the game and the bears are gonna pick up the victory and they're gonna move on to four and two so
- 32:43[SPEAKER_01]: very specific set of circumstances that I have specifically for this game, but you know what?
- 32:52[SPEAKER_01]: That's what I'm just going to do tonight.
- 32:53[SPEAKER_00]: So I appreciate this specific specificity.
- 32:59[SPEAKER_00]: That is a word.
- 33:00[SPEAKER_00]: So I have a very close.
- 33:02[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I could go at it a lot of ways.
- 33:05[SPEAKER_00]: I have it 30 27 bears.
- 33:07[SPEAKER_00]: I know it's at first to 40.
- 33:09[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, realistically, again, I kind of always start with what is
- 33:12[SPEAKER_00]: What is, uh, I guess like in college, you call like the null hypothesis, what's like most expected, like Vegas was Vegas.
- 33:18[SPEAKER_00]: Vegas says 27 to 25 26 bears, right?
- 33:22[SPEAKER_00]: So Vegas thinks it's going to be mid-high 20s, very close, gives bears the slight edge.
- 33:27[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I just have it a little bit higher because I think, um, given the fact that it's a dome, given the fact that defenses are bad, maybe there's maybe I'm doing some double counting, but I have a 30 27 bears.
- 33:39[SPEAKER_00]: I can see getting higher than that, um,
- 33:42[SPEAKER_00]: The reason I think the bears are going to win is I am just going off of the data that I have, which is, and I think you slash, uh, profitable network kind of posts that killed last 10 games, um, kills last 10 games, plus the one game where it wasn't completely raining and, and windy and wet and brine forest on the other side, kill blooms has been excellent.
- 34:01[SPEAKER_00]: Like the one full game in normal conditions we saw from Caleb, they put up 59 points on the road outside in the heat.
- 34:09[SPEAKER_00]: I'm choosing to believe that like that is closer to what they are.
- 34:12[SPEAKER_00]: No, I don't think they're in a score 59, but I think people, that game feels so long ago, but it was not that long ago, it was about a month ago.
- 34:19[SPEAKER_00]: We said, are the bit, do the bears have the best offense and a full history?
- 34:23[SPEAKER_00]: What's changed?
- 34:24[SPEAKER_00]: Besides the injury, and if we think Caleb is healthy, then, I mean, I guess menong guys think a little bit, but they're, they're old line is still healthy, close to lovins out there, burdens out there, Raymond has been better than we thought.
- 34:37[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, commits still like they, to me, it's more or less, it is the same group of players, besides menong guys, that went out there in sport 59 points week one, the last kind of somewhat normal game we saw at Caleb.
- 34:49[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm still buying in that this offense is very elite,
- 34:55[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I'm excited to dig into it for sure and to watch that game play out, it should be in theory, it should be absolutely explosive.
- 35:04[SPEAKER_01]: So I only time will tell.
- 35:06[SPEAKER_01]: So for the people who are listening on the podcast, we are going to take a quick ad break, but when we come back, we're going to dig into some NFL draft talk, some DFS talk and answer a couple of live questions here as well.
- 35:19[SPEAKER_01]: So
- 35:29[SPEAKER_01]: And we're back.
- 35:29[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome everybody to bears for breakfast or welcome back to bears for breakfast.
- 35:36[SPEAKER_01]: We've been going at it for, you know, a minute now, but Jacob and Fonte alongside Jacob White, we do have a quick question here in the YouTube chat from Almighty Man 6, 7, and 5, 7.
- 35:46[SPEAKER_01]: Jacob, have you seen the Pokemon all 22 site where you can fantasy draft Pokemon and try to go 17 and no insimulations.
- 35:55[SPEAKER_01]: I've seen it often for this to you because I'll admit I know very little about Pokemon and I kind of feel like I'm missing out because This sort of thing like that this niche kind of crossover thing would be right of my alley I just unfortunately don't know very much about Pokemon
- 36:11[SPEAKER_00]: Man, almighty man, six, six, seven, five, seven.
- 36:14[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to disappoint you too.
- 36:15[SPEAKER_00]: I, what I know about Pokemon comes from what it was, I think undoubtedly the most electric summer of all time, that was the summer of 2016.
- 36:24[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 36:25[SPEAKER_00]: We're off Pokemon Go.
- 36:29[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, that about is my knowledge of it is was the little critters I was catching outside.
- 36:35[SPEAKER_00]: The first time I ever had my life that I actually voluntarily went outside.
- 36:39[SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
- 36:41[SPEAKER_00]: As they said, you know, Niantic slash Nintendo did in about a day what Michelle Obama tried to do for eight years.
- 36:47[SPEAKER_00]: They got the kids outside.
- 36:50[SPEAKER_00]: So yes, I have seen the site.
- 36:52[SPEAKER_00]: I did not know that you,
- 36:56[SPEAKER_00]: you could like simulate a season or whatever, but I was having a lot of fun watching people compare in a ribbon bay and in his short arms to some short art and Pokemon.
- 37:06[SPEAKER_00]: So no, no, maybe we should check that out.
- 37:09[SPEAKER_00]: I probably should check that out.
- 37:11[SPEAKER_00]: Do you have a favorite Pokemon?
- 37:14[SPEAKER_00]: I know you said you're not well versed, but do you have a favorite Pokemon?
- 37:19[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
- 37:20[SPEAKER_01]: I like Can you name one Pokemon Snorlax.
- 37:23[SPEAKER_00]: I like how dude dude.
- 37:24[SPEAKER_00]: I think I think you took mine Yeah, yeah, I really relate to him.
- 37:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he's just fat as hell just sleeping all the time He's a killer.
- 37:32[SPEAKER_00]: He's he's fun loving.
- 37:33[SPEAKER_00]: He's always smiling, you know, yeah.
- 37:34[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 37:36[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my that's a that's a good dude right there I swear to God yesterday
- 37:43[SPEAKER_01]: I felt like Snorlax for a little bit because I was out I had a doctor's appointment and in the middle of the day so I did my work for the day in a library and I was in Park Ridge right and there's a there's a pizza place in Park Ridge that I like so I went there it's called a
- 38:11[SPEAKER_00]: That might be the move sometime soon, but anyway.
- 38:14[SPEAKER_01]: I, I housed a, it was a, a small pizza, but it's a small pizza for two people.
- 38:20[SPEAKER_01]: I house the entire thing by myself, uh, and I had had lunch is the thing, too.
- 38:25[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not like, oh my God, I'm starving.
- 38:27[SPEAKER_01]: It's just I was bored and I ate the entire thing and then I'm my drive back to the city.
- 38:33[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, God, I'm pathetic.
- 38:34[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so I, in an active motivation and in an active, uh,
- 38:42[SPEAKER_01]: women aren't going to love me if I'm, uh, uh, a, a chubby, insel chud, uh, I decided to go for a bike ride, but I didn't take into account that it was 40 degrees and windy and rainy.
- 38:58[SPEAKER_01]: The ride back, like when the wind was going into my face, was the worst thing I've ever experienced.
- 39:04[SPEAKER_01]: I was like out there, like grunting and screaming and making noise.
- 39:08[SPEAKER_01]: It's a good thing nobody else was out there because everybody else was either smart enough to stay inside or they had social life and they had plans for that night.
- 39:19[SPEAKER_01]: But I had neither, and that was,
- 39:22[SPEAKER_01]: humbling as the waves of the, you know, pitch black like Michigan or crashing, uh, this is nothing to do with Pokemon, uh, but anyway, I felt like Snorlax for a good amount of yesterday.
- 39:35[SPEAKER_01]: So, that's my little ramble about, I don't know whatever the hell that was.
- 39:41[SPEAKER_00]: So, yeah, shut up, shut up, Snorlax, a big fan of him too.
- 39:44[SPEAKER_00]: Um, I believe what is next on the docket is, and Fonte is going to get into his,
- 39:50[SPEAKER_00]: Look at me seeing you up his top five white years in the 2027 NFL draft and I believe you're going out a little bit on a limb with your first one
- 40:00[SPEAKER_01]: Shucks.
- 40:01[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 40:01[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, there's just a sleeper guy you guys might not have heard of him.
- 40:04[SPEAKER_01]: He's really under the radar.
- 40:06[SPEAKER_01]: Jeremiah Smith out of Ohio State.
- 40:07[SPEAKER_01]: He's my number one.
- 40:09[SPEAKER_00]: I saw two people wearing Jeremiah Smith jerseys this morning in really in West Luke.
- 40:14[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 40:14[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 40:15[SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
- 40:16[SPEAKER_00]: So I'd stare.
- 40:18[SPEAKER_00]: They're out there this morning.
- 40:19[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 40:21[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, and I figure like you got to have more Indiana fans in Chicago than Ohio State, but still Ohio State, like that's a huge campus.
- 40:30[SPEAKER_01]: It's a huge school.
- 40:31[SPEAKER_01]: Like you have, they're very dedicated fan base.
- 40:34[SPEAKER_01]: So that game is going to be fun to sell today.
- 40:38[SPEAKER_01]: I will see how that all plays out.
- 40:39[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, Jeremiah Smith is my top receiver and interestingly enough, Charlie backers my number two from Indiana.
- 40:46[SPEAKER_01]: So both of those guys are going to be going head to head.
- 40:50[SPEAKER_01]: Jeremiah Smith.
- 40:51[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I can't say anything that hasn't already been said a million times about him just from a physical perspective.
- 40:55[SPEAKER_01]: He's an absolute specimen, the size, the place strength, the speed that he brings the tables, phenomenal.
- 41:02[SPEAKER_01]: Also, the football IQ, as a route runner, is very, very good.
- 41:06[SPEAKER_01]: He has good spatial awareness against zone coverage, knows how to, you know, leverage himself, get open against man, work the stem, and, you know, set corner backs up for
- 41:19[SPEAKER_01]: Just go to the catch point, good hands, antibody control coordinated is, he's the full package, genuinely.
- 41:28[SPEAKER_01]: And I know generational is it's absolute hyperbole.
- 41:32[SPEAKER_01]: In most cases, you could make that argument with Jeremiah Smith.
- 41:36[SPEAKER_01]: where we're talking better than Marvin Harrison Jr. coming out better than Jemar Chase.
- 41:40[SPEAKER_01]: I probably probably the best since like Julio and AJ Green, which again does that mean guarantee that he's going to have that, you know, that could have a career, not necessarily, but it's possible.
- 41:55[SPEAKER_01]: And then Charlie Becker's my number two out of Indiana going into this season.
- 41:59[SPEAKER_01]: I love what he did in the second half of last year.
- 42:01[SPEAKER_01]: But I was like, all right, I want to see it over a full year to see it.
- 42:05[SPEAKER_01]: He's not just some flash in the pan.
- 42:07[SPEAKER_01]: He's absolutely done that so far in the first half of this season.
- 42:09[SPEAKER_01]: He's been the bona fide wide receiver one.
- 42:13[SPEAKER_01]: In my opinion, he might have the best hands of college football.
- 42:15[SPEAKER_01]: Still doesn't have a single drop in his collegiate career.
- 42:18[SPEAKER_01]: His physicality at the catch point, his focus, his play strength, all very good, refined route runner really, really good speed for such a big dude.
- 42:30[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like, you know, there are some instances, okay, where maybe Jeremiah Smith is a touch more explosive and, you know, he has more production of the collegiate level, which is why I have Jeremiah Smith above Charlie Becker.
- 42:41[SPEAKER_01]: but it's not a ginormous drop necessarily.
- 42:44[SPEAKER_01]: Becker has been really, really good this year.
- 42:47[SPEAKER_01]: Cam Coleman from Texas is my number three.
- 42:50[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel like he's maybe not as consistent as, you know, your Jeremiah Smiths or your Charlie Becker's,
- 43:02[SPEAKER_00]: All right, as we're saying here the chat Peyton J. Haverman, they discovered a new species of owl Jacob.
- 43:10[SPEAKER_00]: Is this breaking news into the show?
- 43:12[SPEAKER_01]: It might be.
- 43:13[SPEAKER_01]: They discovered a new species of owl.
- 43:15[SPEAKER_00]: This is a bit, we are understanding.
- 43:18[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so the patents for reference patents, one of my friends from college.
- 43:22[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, so there's a very good chance he's trolling, but they might actually have a new owl just dropped live on the show.
- 43:32[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, yeah, he said they discovered a new species of owl and then follows up pretty sick.
- 43:37[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I might have to take your word for it.
- 43:40[SPEAKER_01]: Just say hell yeah.
- 43:41[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, this is profile photo.
- 43:42[SPEAKER_00]: Is that Andy Dalton?
- 43:44[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, is that the red rifle on my screen that's the red rifle on your screen.
- 43:48[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's Andy Dalton I think it was like one of the games that he started for the bears where it's like oh Andy Dalton coming off the bus and you know coming into soldier field I'm pretty sure that's when it was and then he follows up hell.
- 44:03[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah Did I wish my college buddies would get on this and troll see I go into college with me please please this is this is what
- 44:12[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, keep up the good work.
- 44:14[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
- 44:14[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you, Peyton.
- 44:15[SPEAKER_01]: Jay, have a minute.
- 44:16[SPEAKER_01]: It was very much appreciated.
- 44:17[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
- 44:19[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, Cam Coleman, Cam Coleman, yeah, I think his consistency isn't quite there to the level is the other guys.
- 44:27[SPEAKER_01]: I think he prone to a couple of focus drops from time to time.
- 44:30[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like the other two are a little bit more polished as route runners as far as how they disguise the route concepts of the running, but Cam Coleman, you know, six, three, two hundredish pounds.
- 44:43[SPEAKER_01]: really good athlete, really good ball skills, the ability to win above, you know, take the top off of defense is phenomenal.
- 44:50[SPEAKER_01]: Shifty coming out of his brakes for such a big dude.
- 44:54[SPEAKER_01]: Again, another very high ceiling sort of player and why do you see for four and five?
- 44:59[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like there is a drop from here where I think each is a Jeremiah Smith Charlie Becker-Cam Coleman.
- 45:04[SPEAKER_01]: I think there will be top 10 picks or at least Smith and Becker will be Coleman.
- 45:08[SPEAKER_01]: I think we'll be in that conversation.
- 45:11[SPEAKER_01]: From here it's okay do these any of these guys go in the first round going forward and but Nick Marsh out of Indiana another I you guy I have him as well to see for four I really like what he put together Michigan state last year and for Indiana he's only been you know he's just continue to get better uh...
- 45:29[SPEAKER_01]: another big dude, six three two or three is what he's listed as, but he, you know, and he surprisingly good athlete.
- 45:37[SPEAKER_01]: He's, his, what he brings the table after the catch is phenomenal.
- 45:41[SPEAKER_01]: His shiftiness, his ball carrier vision, his toughness.
- 45:46[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, being a bigger dude, it's tough to tackle him.
- 45:48[SPEAKER_01]: Being, you know, six three two hundred, he's bigger than most of the corner backs that he goes up against.
- 45:53[SPEAKER_01]: And he's been productive in college.
- 45:55[SPEAKER_01]: He's been very productive, especially this year
- 45:59[SPEAKER_01]: Again, it may be, you know, like to see a little bit more consistent in the hands department, but physically you don't get too many guys like this.
- 46:06[SPEAKER_01]: And then my wife receiver five, this is somebody who has dropped a little bit since the start of the year to me, just because he hasn't been as productive as I'd like, but I still like Mario Craver out of Texas A&M.
- 46:18[SPEAKER_01]: I've been talking about every single one of these guys are, you know, six, three,
- 46:30[SPEAKER_01]: He's like my size.
- 46:31[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a little bit bigger than Mario Craver.
- 46:33[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not nearly as fast as Mario Craver.
- 46:37[SPEAKER_01]: That's for sure.
- 46:38[SPEAKER_01]: Because he's one of the fastest weapons in college football, really good hands to begin with, shifty route runner, changes direction seamlessly, great agility after the catch.
- 46:50[SPEAKER_01]: He has that ability to stretch the field vertically, but I love what he does underneath, where just give him the ball in space and the watch him do his thing.
- 47:00[SPEAKER_01]: You know, like, there, there are a little bit different as prospects, but kind of like Casey Concepts the own coming out where, you know, obviously he's not the biggest guy in the world, but he's phenomenal athlete, good hands for his size, and he can just wait in space.
- 47:19[SPEAKER_01]: So those are, those are my top five receivers, and then actually Peyton Jay Haverman.
- 47:24[SPEAKER_01]: The Jay I found out stands for,
- 47:28[SPEAKER_01]: uh... orange julious the orange is uh... silent uh... i don't know where i was going with that that sucks uh... actual draft questions in your time of receivers already have you looked into cate and lead all he's from a zoo uh... i'd assume day three but what say you great hands and crisp route runner to my untrained eye
- 47:48[SPEAKER_01]: I'll admit I haven't done a formal evaluation on Caden Lee quite yet.
- 47:52[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I've watched all the Mizzou games live, but I haven't dug into the coaches' tape of specifically him.
- 47:59[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say that in watching Austin Simmons, the QB and in watching the games live, I feel like day three is probably fair.
- 48:07[SPEAKER_01]: Like me, my gut says like maybe fourth fifth round.
- 48:12[SPEAKER_01]: where I mean he's just you know the size isn't necessarily elite with him.
- 48:17[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know he's I don't know if he's ever going to be the guy who you know wins in contest to catch situations.
- 48:23[SPEAKER_01]: He's like you know five eleven I want to say he's like a hundred seventy five hundred eighty pounds maybe.
- 48:30[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, he's quick, he's twitchy, very good hands, capable separator.
- 48:36[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if the ceiling is incredibly high, just because he doesn't have that elite high end physical value, but he's somebody I think can be a solid complementary weapon in the pros.
- 48:48[SPEAKER_01]: That's my little spiel honorable mentions.
- 48:52[SPEAKER_01]: Ryan Coleman Williams out of Alabama, Ryan Wingo from Texas, two hyper really good athletes who just don't have hands.
- 48:59[SPEAKER_01]: And then Brian Westco Jr. out of Clemson is my last guy that I want to touch on where he's another dude he's six to about 200 pounds.
- 49:07[SPEAKER_01]: One of the better route runners I've seen in this class again doesn't have great hands, but
- 49:11[SPEAKER_01]: It's super explosive as a route runner much better, you know, much more explosive out of his breaks than anybody's size.
- 49:17[SPEAKER_01]: So that's my little, uh, that's my little spiel.
- 49:21[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, those are my top five wide receivers right now.
- 49:23[SPEAKER_01]: And again, I'm going position by position.
- 49:25[SPEAKER_01]: So this isn't me saying that the bears need to draft a wide receiver early.
- 49:30[SPEAKER_01]: It's just that we've already gone through most of the defensive positions already.
- 49:34[SPEAKER_01]: And I did a quarterbacks last week.
- 49:38[SPEAKER_01]: So
- 49:40[SPEAKER_01]: You know, there you go.
- 49:42[SPEAKER_01]: That's what it is.
- 49:43[SPEAKER_01]: And then Peyton comes in and says, thanks for the breakdown, Jakester.
- 49:47[SPEAKER_01]: The orange is actually not silent in my middle name.
- 49:50[SPEAKER_01]: So thank you Peyton, Orange, Julius Haverman.
- 49:53[SPEAKER_01]: Very much appreciated.
- 49:54[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, that's all I'll say on that, Fran.
- 49:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so I guess two questions really quick on the first is
- 50:04[SPEAKER_00]: Like looking at the current NFL standings, but I think it is very likely one of Miami or Tennessee's draft number one.
- 50:14[SPEAKER_00]: Both of them have a quarterback on the roster, they have a quarterback under contract.
- 50:19[SPEAKER_00]: Would you take Jeremiah Smith at number one, overall, if you were, say, the Titans or Dolphins?
- 50:25[SPEAKER_00]: Or would you, or is a guy like Archmany,
- 50:28[SPEAKER_00]: Good, because to me, I mean, if we're just talking about pure talent, like it would kind of be an offensive old to pick arch over Jeremiah, but there is the position that you aspect of it.
- 50:38[SPEAKER_00]: So what, what would you do if you were in their spot?
- 50:42[SPEAKER_01]: Man, that's, that's tough.
- 50:44[SPEAKER_01]: And I know we have, we do have another pressing question in the Twitter slash x chat that we'll get to in a second, but we do see you, but
- 50:53[SPEAKER_01]: For this specifically, I mean, it's tough.
- 50:56[SPEAKER_01]: I'd say if I'm the dolphins, honestly, I'd probably, if I had to absolutely stay put at number one, I'd probably take Jeremiah Smith.
- 51:05[SPEAKER_01]: and that that's tough for me to say because obviously there's the positional value aspect of it and you know quarterback is more valuable than the wide receiver in the grand scheme of things but you're financially tied to Malik Willis next year he's shown some flashes to the point where it's like all right I mean maybe he's not going to be the guy but they're getting no help he has no receiver no tight ends he has nothing
- 51:32[SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know who their playcaller is, but I don't think it's anyone that I'm particularly stoked about.
- 51:37[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's, yeah, I mean, slow-quick.
- 51:39[SPEAKER_00]: Bobby slow.
- 51:40[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, yeah, exactly, right?
- 51:42[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's man, like if you could get me like a new office of coordinator, sign or see if I'm afraid and see draft or my smith, and then yes, who's who it wills can give you.
- 51:52[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, I think we're probably liands, and that standpoint.
- 51:55[SPEAKER_00]: The other question I had is two years ago at this time.
- 51:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 52:01[SPEAKER_00]: Jeremiah Smith or Ryan Coleman Williams.
- 52:05[SPEAKER_00]: Tell the people what has happened in two years that Ryan Williams went from as good or maybe better that Jeremiah Smith to is the second brown pick, is the third brown pick.
- 52:17[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, all things considered, I'd say,
- 52:22[SPEAKER_01]: a lot of it comes down to the hands, honestly, it's just been very inconsistent in terms of smashing the ball.
- 52:29[SPEAKER_01]: Because there's a lot to like.
- 52:31[SPEAKER_01]: He's a phenomenal athlete.
- 52:33[SPEAKER_01]: He's a twitchy route runner.
- 52:35[SPEAKER_01]: He has a really good body control attack in the ball in the air.
- 52:40[SPEAKER_01]: Good bulkary vision has a route runner, but
- 52:44[SPEAKER_01]: comparing him to Jeremiah Smith obviously Smith is the, you know, he's bigger.
- 52:48[SPEAKER_01]: He's stronger.
- 52:49[SPEAKER_01]: And but a big part of it, too, is the hands.
- 52:53[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's such an underrated aspect.
- 52:55[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like I've playing the wide receiver position, which feels weird to say, because it's like, all right, you're catching the ball for a living.
- 53:02[SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, you look at Roman Dunes there, for example, where he's been good at getting open.
- 53:07[SPEAKER_01]: He's, I feel comfortable saying he's a good wide receiver, but if he's ever going to be great.
- 53:12[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, catching the ball, having that ball security is a big issue right now.
- 53:18[SPEAKER_01]: So Coleman Williams just has, I can't say if it's a focus thing or a hand strength thing,
- 53:26[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a problem where he's dropping these easy routine catches and you know other catches he's you know, securing with his body.
- 53:37[SPEAKER_01]: But we will get to your question don't we will he's been asking burrito or crepe for the last like 10 minutes we will get there we'll get there trust me no actually let's address this now why does he think this is not a breakfast show.
- 53:52[SPEAKER_01]: don't ever call us a breakfast up because he's he's asked uh... he's asked three times so far uh... with this kind of five three times so okay well i answered this question for you and then we'll i will dig into uh... into jacob's dfs but burrito or crape
- 54:10[SPEAKER_01]: Here we go.
- 54:10[SPEAKER_01]: I'll turn it over to kick things off.
- 54:13[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, for me, it's going to be burrito.
- 54:18[SPEAKER_00]: I know you can go a couple of ways with Craig, right?
- 54:20[SPEAKER_00]: Do you want, say, where do you want sweet?
- 54:24[SPEAKER_00]: You know, for, I used to be a big, you know, sugary breakfast guy.
- 54:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 54:29[SPEAKER_00]: At the rival stage of 23,
- 54:32[SPEAKER_00]: If I have one doughnut for breakfast, like I'm useless the rest of the day.
- 54:36[SPEAKER_00]: Like the sugar just sits in my stomach, and I sit on the couch and nothing gets done and my parents are disappointed.
- 54:43[SPEAKER_00]: So for me, you know, a good breakfast Brito, I would say, off to fuels a good workday for me.
- 54:50[SPEAKER_00]: You know, I just, just this week, I had a,
- 54:54[SPEAKER_00]: had a Cuban, a Cuban breakfast burrito.
- 54:57[SPEAKER_00]: So a little bit of ham, a little bit of pork, a little bit eggs, some cheese, and banana peppers, delicious.
- 55:02[SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't great at work, but that's just because it was a day ending in why.
- 55:07[SPEAKER_00]: But you know, certainly someone, someone else could have really used that burrito as breakfast fuel.
- 55:13[SPEAKER_00]: Now, in my opinion, unless you're in France doing nothing like the French, there's really a reason to have a creep in the morning, particularly if you'd like to have a productive day.
- 55:23[SPEAKER_00]: But what's a you, Mr. and Fontaine?
- 55:26[SPEAKER_00]: So I have a bit of a hot take here.
- 55:30[SPEAKER_01]: I don't like eggs, I don't like eggs.
- 55:32[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, I know, I know, dude, I wish I liked eggs.
- 55:36[SPEAKER_01]: I really do, because it would make life so much easier for me from a protein perspective.
- 55:41[SPEAKER_01]: It would make, it would make breakfast so much easier for me.
- 55:44[SPEAKER_01]: I love the concept of an omelet of just throwing all that, like it's basically just throwing burrito crap in there and then just putting it all in a nag.
- 55:53[SPEAKER_01]: That's awesome.
- 55:54[SPEAKER_01]: I would absolutely love that, you know, in theory.
- 55:57[SPEAKER_01]: I just I can't get behind eggs.
- 55:59[SPEAKER_00]: Is it like a texture?
- 56:01[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know for some people.
- 56:01[SPEAKER_00]: It's like a texture thing.
- 56:03[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a texture thing for me.
- 56:05[SPEAKER_01]: I just I can't get behind it for, you know, one reason or another.
- 56:10[SPEAKER_01]: Like I've tried.
- 56:11[SPEAKER_01]: I've gotten around, but so I'll say, Crepe for this because I mean, I've had breakfast burritos.
- 56:17[SPEAKER_01]: They don't have eggs in them, but they're very tough to come by.
- 56:21[SPEAKER_01]: So I feel like out in necessity I'll go with the grape.
- 56:24[SPEAKER_01]: I want to give it a specific shout out to Cafe Poland in Colombia, Missouri.
- 56:29[SPEAKER_01]: They have very good grapes, which I mean, I guess I didn't realize that grapes were Polish, but that's, I guess, I'm really need for being.
- 56:37[SPEAKER_01]: They're not exclusively Polish, obviously, but you know, I guess that's a part of the cuisine.
- 56:44[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, that's on me for being half Polish or not recognizing that, but uh, they have two really good grapes in particular that I love.
- 56:52[SPEAKER_01]: They have a spinach and fed up grape.
- 56:54[SPEAKER_01]: If you want to go like a savory route, they have like spinach and they, you know, uh, you know, like they cook it down with onions and stuff like that and then they put fed a cheese in there and it's so, so good.
- 57:04[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, and they also have peanut butter and jelly grape.
- 57:10[SPEAKER_01]: which is also just so, so good.
- 57:13[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going creepier, but again, that a lot of that's just because I'm not an egg guy.
- 57:16[SPEAKER_00]: So the other knock-all-throw-and-crapes, besides the fact that I just like, I have a tough time like eating a crate for breakfast and, you know, I'm mounting to anything that day.
- 57:25[SPEAKER_00]: The other thing I have on it is, I'm all about like functionality in force.
- 57:30[SPEAKER_00]: And just too often to need the crate just to disintegrate to your hands, you know?
- 57:35[SPEAKER_01]: That's true.
- 57:36[SPEAKER_00]: That it's or the toppings are falling out or it's just like to me it's I can eat a breakfast, read around people.
- 57:44[SPEAKER_00]: I can eat around my co-workers.
- 57:45[SPEAKER_00]: I've done that.
- 57:46[SPEAKER_00]: I continue that.
- 57:48[SPEAKER_00]: I cannot eat a crate around anyone and have any sort of self-respect after.
- 57:55[SPEAKER_00]: It just it falls apart.
- 57:57[SPEAKER_00]: It's on my hands.
- 57:58[SPEAKER_00]: It's on the floor.
- 57:58[SPEAKER_00]: It's it's just
- 58:00[SPEAKER_00]: Um, it's one of those foods, you know, similar to like a raising cane's combo.
- 58:04[SPEAKER_00]: I want to eat by myself alone in my apartment, uh, for absolutely much.
- 58:10[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, you get those foods where it's like, all right, I can't eat this, like in public and front of people in in good conscience without people looking at me like I'm a slob monster.
- 58:20[SPEAKER_00]: So if you see me a Crape, you'll if you see me eat a Crape, you'll never look at me in the same light again.
- 58:25[SPEAKER_01]: Of course.
- 58:25[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
- 58:26[SPEAKER_00]: So that among other reasons, I'm Team Brito, but again, yeah, I mean, if you've been a version to eggs and like this just it's something you can't help and I get it, but yeah.
- 58:36[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this was fun.
- 58:37[SPEAKER_00]: We should do this more often.
- 58:38[SPEAKER_01]: I like this.
- 58:39[SPEAKER_01]: So thank you to thank you to Bro in the Twitter chat.
- 58:42[SPEAKER_01]: He said, dude, I came off private for this.
- 58:44[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
- 58:46[SPEAKER_01]: That rules.
- 58:46[SPEAKER_01]: I appreciate that.
- 58:47[SPEAKER_00]: I appreciate you do boxing.
- 58:49[SPEAKER_00]: Your whole family lineage just asked us great first video.
- 58:52[SPEAKER_00]: Thank you.
- 58:53[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's the important questions.
- 58:56[SPEAKER_01]: I.
- 58:56[SPEAKER_01]: And one last thing, I'll keep it quick because I want to turn it over to you to your D-Fet, your cash line up for the week, but bare least mo in the YouTube chat, it does a lot of good work in the content space as well.
- 59:07[SPEAKER_01]: Kelly Jones for the bear, thoughts.
- 59:08[SPEAKER_01]: So Kelly Jones, breakfast food.
- 59:12[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I wish, but it's a Kelly Jones for references a corner back on a Mississippi state he's 64 about 195 pounds.
- 59:23[SPEAKER_01]: He's been a pretty popular name in like like a fringe round one sort of guy.
- 59:28[SPEAKER_01]: I like him a lot.
- 59:29[SPEAKER_01]: I come into this season.
- 59:31[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of had him in like that day to range.
- 59:36[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, as you pull it up here, using the the Pro football network NFL mock draft simulator, which is completely free, and I recommend you check it out.
- 59:43[SPEAKER_01]: It helps me out in my job.
- 59:45[SPEAKER_01]: So thank you.
- 59:46[SPEAKER_01]: Kelly Jones in the first round.
- 59:48[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see it.
- 59:49[SPEAKER_01]: So you can edge rusher in the first, you know, the second and third round.
- 59:52[SPEAKER_01]: But Taylor, we on Galilee out of Oregon, Boopacart trial array out of Notre Dame.
- 59:59[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, shout out Notre Dame.
- 1:00:00[SPEAKER_01]: AJ Holmes, the defense attack from Texas Tech, Emmanuel Oye Badejo, hybrid inside, outside, detackled the end.
- 1:00:09[SPEAKER_01]: Aiden Shiles, the corner, the quarterback, out of, uh,
- 1:00:14[SPEAKER_01]: Northwestern than you have Owen Shameless as well, who is a linebacker for Nebraska I believe and then fluffed off well the Mississippi State running back as well.
- 1:00:23[SPEAKER_01]: So to solid mock all things considered, I like Kelly Jones too.
- 1:00:29[SPEAKER_01]: I think that for a guy who's that tall, for a guy who
- 1:00:42[SPEAKER_01]: The fluidity, the control coming in and out of his transitions, very impressive to me.
- 1:00:47[SPEAKER_01]: Great ball skills, it definitely helps that he has a large catch radius to work with.
- 1:00:51[SPEAKER_01]: You know, scrappy.
- 1:00:53[SPEAKER_01]: At the catch point in press coverage, I mean, yeah, he has his little bit top heavies, a little bit skinny and lanky, but moves incredibly well.
- 1:01:02[SPEAKER_01]: Capable enough is a tackler, but I just I love his range in coverage.
- 1:01:06[SPEAKER_01]: And that comes down to his height, his length, and his overall fluidity.
- 1:01:11[SPEAKER_01]: I based off what I've seen so far this year, I feel like he's certainly a, you know, if not late round one certainly early round two sort of guy so I like what I've seen for him so far this year.
- 1:01:25[SPEAKER_01]: I'm very encouraged to see what the rest of his year and the rest of Mississippi state for that matter is going to be.
- 1:01:31[SPEAKER_01]: So Kelly Jones, I feel like outside of the top tier of your, you know, Leonard Moore from Notre Dame obviously,
- 1:01:40[SPEAKER_01]: Ellis Robinson the fourth out of Georgia.
- 1:01:43[SPEAKER_01]: Like those two guys aren't going to be there.
- 1:01:45[SPEAKER_01]: Well, when the bears pick unless the bears have a disastrous rest of the year.
- 1:01:49[SPEAKER_01]: But once you start getting into that next year down, like, okay, maybe Ash Hampton from Clemson's going to be there.
- 1:01:54[SPEAKER_01]: Kelly Jonesy thrown into the mix.
- 1:01:56[SPEAKER_01]: Davey on Collins from Penn State, you throw into the mix.
- 1:01:59[SPEAKER_01]: DJ McKinney and other guy from Notre Dame who's been very, very good this year.
- 1:02:03[SPEAKER_01]: I feel like his, you know, I had an early day three on him going into this year.
- 1:02:06[SPEAKER_01]: He's working his way into day two and
- 1:02:10[SPEAKER_01]: That's enough for me, Jacob, I'll turn it over to you to preview your cache line up as I'm pulling it up here on the share screen function for you to go because I went a little longer than usual and we were also I
- 1:02:27[SPEAKER_01]: Let's see.
- 1:02:27[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sharing my entire screen.
- 1:02:29[SPEAKER_01]: No, it doesn't share screen.
- 1:02:31[SPEAKER_01]: Come on.
- 1:02:32[SPEAKER_01]: I got to be good at this.
- 1:02:33[SPEAKER_00]: I just have to be.
- 1:02:34[SPEAKER_00]: I've so well, well, he's tech boarding all of course recap.
- 1:02:38[SPEAKER_00]: So last week, I actually did not end up.
- 1:02:42[SPEAKER_00]: playing my lineup.
- 1:02:44[SPEAKER_00]: There was a couple of things happen.
- 1:02:46[SPEAKER_00]: One, I was at a wedding last weekend.
- 1:02:48[SPEAKER_00]: I think generally when you're playing these games where they're very information sensitive and things can kind of be changing at any minute, you kind of got to be on it.
- 1:02:56[SPEAKER_00]: I was trying to be present with my friends.
- 1:02:58[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 1:02:58[SPEAKER_00]: So
- 1:02:59[SPEAKER_00]: That was one, the other reason was that when I was kind of looking at it, after this like right after the show ended, Ash and Genki was pronounced in, therefore like the super cheap value I had on Mike Washington was now moods, I'd redo the lineup.
- 1:03:12[SPEAKER_00]: And the one that I was looking at, if I was going to play, had four cartinals in it, I just like couldn't do it.
- 1:03:17[SPEAKER_00]: It actually would have ended up doing well, but this is like something I think you can take advantage of in kind of any peer-to-peer game or any sort of
- 1:03:28[SPEAKER_00]: gambling, just games in general, is you don't have to play, right?
- 1:03:31[SPEAKER_00]: And so if there's a situation where you don't like the slate, you don't like the game, you don't like how much a cost, like this is you sometimes the best way for it to not play.
- 1:03:40[SPEAKER_00]: So in this case, I actually would have been fine, but I'm happy that I decide to take a little bit of the safer route.
- 1:03:47[SPEAKER_00]: It depends
- 1:03:52[SPEAKER_00]: But if we can't pull it up, it's fine.
- 1:03:55[SPEAKER_00]: I can talk through it.
- 1:03:58[SPEAKER_01]: But I think I got it to work.
- 1:04:00[SPEAKER_01]: And so for whatever reason, I couldn't share it because of the type of file it was.
- 1:04:06[SPEAKER_01]: But I same file as always.
- 1:04:09[SPEAKER_01]: than, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
- 1:04:34[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so this actually very recently, this, as of this morning, this changed, there was the news we weren't sure what was gonna happen with Craig on Henderson.
- 1:04:41[SPEAKER_00]: He's now, if he's not been declared out, he's trending out.
- 1:04:45[SPEAKER_00]: So now, you know, I was looking at something previously where I had a Tyler Algier, instead of Ramondray, and then I did a couple other things.
- 1:04:58[SPEAKER_00]: Because Jeremiah loves out this week.
- 1:05:01[SPEAKER_00]: And so this is something I could even look at before lock.
- 1:05:06[SPEAKER_00]: But right now, this is what I have in.
- 1:05:10[SPEAKER_00]: I have Josh on a quarterback.
- 1:05:11[SPEAKER_00]: That'll be pretty popular.
- 1:05:12[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people will consider playing Matthew Stafford down the board at 6400.
- 1:05:19[SPEAKER_00]: Now my thought here is twofold one.
- 1:05:22[SPEAKER_00]: If Stafford is hitting, if Stafford gets 20, 25, 30 points,
- 1:05:27[SPEAKER_00]: You can kind of capture a lot of that through Pooka, Nukuya, and Gets, and so there's a little bit of like, for tournaments like absolutely you want to stack those.
- 1:05:36[SPEAKER_00]: But if I feel like it makes effort as this like great game, I'm going to probably capture pieces of that in my lineup already, and so therefore I can kind of get a little bit different with the guy like Josh Allen.
- 1:05:48[SPEAKER_00]: Now this game in Las Vegas, I think this game could get nutty.
- 1:05:51[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, the raiders have been a lot.
- 1:05:53[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're what foreign one I believe or three and three and two.
- 1:05:57[SPEAKER_00]: I think Either way, they've been extremely competitive.
- 1:06:01[SPEAKER_00]: It's in a dome.
- 1:06:03[SPEAKER_00]: Clint Kubeyak is working just he's doing humans work with that team.
- 1:06:07[SPEAKER_00]: Kirk Cousins looks like he's as good as he's ever been.
- 1:06:10[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so I don't think this is a game where Josh Allen can just kind of coast.
- 1:06:13[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're going to have to put up 20, 25, 30 points.
- 1:06:16[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this bill's deep.
- 1:06:17[SPEAKER_00]: That's not good.
- 1:06:18[SPEAKER_00]: Their secondary is a trotace.
- 1:06:20[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, you can score a lot of points on on the bills.
- 1:06:22[SPEAKER_00]: And so unlike Stafford, Josh Allen can and will run he had over 100 yards, uh, just this past Monday night.
- 1:06:30[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think to me, it's one thing if you were if you'd get up $1,500, $2,000, but for just $1.1k where I think I can get down to other positions.
- 1:06:39[SPEAKER_00]: To me, I think it's a mistake not to play Josh Allen.
- 1:06:42[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 1:06:43[SPEAKER_00]: There are other options.
- 1:06:44[SPEAKER_00]: Some people might look at, if you go all the way down, play like Tanner McKee at 4k or Jolundit, Daniels, that to me, it's just, for reference, Josh Allen very much could be 8,000 or more.
- 1:06:56[SPEAKER_00]: So the fact that he is in a good,
- 1:06:59[SPEAKER_00]: game environment and not super expensive.
- 1:07:01[SPEAKER_00]: It's kind of a no-brainer.
- 1:07:03[SPEAKER_00]: Braille and Allen and Stevenson are kind of the same bet where it's, I don't know how great they are, but they're going to capture essentially all their backfielks, parries, and so at 5, 7, and 6k, that's a pretty easy decision.
- 1:07:16[SPEAKER_00]: Kind of same thing with Karen Williams, crazy team total.
- 1:07:20[SPEAKER_00]: Blake Quarme is going to factor in sure, but I mean, Kyron Williams is he's just been, he's been a lot of trick, it's that that one's a no-brainer.
- 1:07:27[SPEAKER_00]: But then you kind of get to like, Pooca, pretty much everyone walk away playing in.
- 1:07:31[SPEAKER_00]: One mistake I've kind of made throughout the season, I think is actually like a, a little bit of this like galaxy brainer effect where it's like, okay, like everyone knows you have to play Pooca.
- 1:07:41[SPEAKER_00]: You have to play Jamer Gibbs.
- 1:07:42[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's been weeks where,
- 1:07:44[SPEAKER_00]: If the $25 big double up, I mean, junior gift is only owned by two thirds of the field, which is just to me is like a massive mistake.
- 1:07:50[SPEAKER_00]: And so, you know, when I think it's like you have to play Pooca, Pooca's probably only be 90% owned, and that's a mistake.
- 1:07:57[SPEAKER_00]: So, this is spot where sometimes you can kind of get a little bit too fancy, you know.
- 1:08:02[SPEAKER_00]: You play Pooca, it's just too easy.
- 1:08:04[SPEAKER_00]: He should be 9,9500.
- 1:08:05[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he has, I mean, he has
- 1:08:08[SPEAKER_00]: I think I heard this morning 36, 38 targets as two games since returning.
- 1:08:13[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, his role is unbelievable.
- 1:08:16[SPEAKER_00]: I believe he still leads the NFL all time in yards for game.
- 1:08:20[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the fact that he's 8100, again, like if you're not showing up to cash with him, you're clearly making a mistake.
- 1:08:26[SPEAKER_00]: Xavier worthy.
- 1:08:28[SPEAKER_00]: Man, I don't think he's good at football.
- 1:08:32[SPEAKER_00]: You know, and like this is, like this is really, really uncomfortable part of my lineup is like the Xavier Worth Worthy play where I think you have to, where she rice is not gonna play.
- 1:08:41[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 1:08:42[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they just, at some point, it's like Thornton, now is gone for the season.
- 1:08:46[SPEAKER_00]: Like at some point, someone has got to get targets and if he won't think it maybe he was like 5K, 5500, but at 4600, sub 5K,
- 1:08:57[SPEAKER_00]: This is just one of those spots.
- 1:08:58[SPEAKER_00]: I think you have to close your eyes and just play it.
- 1:09:02[SPEAKER_00]: So again, I don't I don't love it, but you look at the construction kind of what you have to do to make things work.
- 1:09:08[SPEAKER_00]: I think you just have to say, my home's gotta get the ball to someone.
- 1:09:11[SPEAKER_00]: And this week it's gonna have to be worthy.
- 1:09:13[SPEAKER_00]: Again, I don't really think he's that good, but we're also, are they gonna go at the ball?
- 1:09:17[SPEAKER_00]: And then the last two things I'll touch on, Bernard, I think he's very interesting for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
- 1:09:24[SPEAKER_00]: There was a quote out of the Pittsburgh media where Rogers apparently pre-game just before the last game, grilled and gave him a quiz.
- 1:09:34[SPEAKER_00]: on assignments, the playbook.
- 1:09:36[SPEAKER_00]: If it's this coverage, if it's this route, what do you do?
- 1:09:39[SPEAKER_00]: Bernard passed the flying colors.
- 1:09:41[SPEAKER_00]: He then goes on to out target.
- 1:09:43[SPEAKER_00]: He came back out from that last game.
- 1:09:45[SPEAKER_00]: Had a very successful outing.
- 1:09:47[SPEAKER_00]: We've seen when Rogers likes a guy, Rogers likes a guy.
- 1:09:50[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to pepper them with targets, and to me at 4K, and
- 1:09:55[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, do you get McEff, he's been burning me all season long.
- 1:09:58[SPEAKER_00]: He might just be cooked for Rogers likes him.
- 1:10:00[SPEAKER_00]: And so for K, I think where he allows me to kind of get up to, I like Josh Allen, you play Pooca, you play, you play kind of really I'm happy to make that bet.
- 1:10:09[SPEAKER_00]: He's predicted for 10.6 points.
- 1:10:11[SPEAKER_00]: That's fine.
- 1:10:11[SPEAKER_00]: I'll take that.
- 1:10:13[SPEAKER_00]: Um, last bit, because I don't know if you know this, uh, Panthers defense everyone will be playing that.
- 1:10:17[SPEAKER_00]: That's not interesting.
- 1:10:18[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, they're cheap and they're at what is a super bang up Philadelphia team.
- 1:10:22[SPEAKER_00]: The last thing.
- 1:10:23[SPEAKER_00]: And again, this this should be again, you should you should you have to show up with as a late likely in cash and 4800.
- 1:10:29[SPEAKER_00]: You know that he currently leads all tight ends and fantasy points this year.
- 1:10:32[SPEAKER_00]: Really?
- 1:10:33[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 1:10:34[SPEAKER_00]: I had no idea.
- 1:10:35[SPEAKER_00]: Isaiah likely has been absolutely excellent this year.
- 1:10:39[SPEAKER_00]: A really sharp take I heard.
- 1:10:40[SPEAKER_00]: I think last night was if he was a wider receiver he would easily be B556K.
- 1:10:44[SPEAKER_00]: But because he's a tight-end, draft King's is a little bit conservative.
- 1:10:49[SPEAKER_00]: So James, James Winston, man, he's been sling the ball.
- 1:10:52[SPEAKER_00]: So I think you have to show up with Isaiah likely.
- 1:10:55[SPEAKER_00]: To me he was always a great talent who's just kind of buried behind Mark Andrews in that
- 1:11:03[SPEAKER_00]: on that Ravens team, John Harbog goes over to New York and brings him with and he's been excellent this year.
- 1:11:09[SPEAKER_00]: So I kind of was monologue maxing there, but any any questions.
- 1:11:14[SPEAKER_00]: So I will say right now this I think actually with the projections I use is just straight up the optimal, which I don't usually like doing, but
- 1:11:23[SPEAKER_00]: I was looking at some stuff this morning and it's it's it's pretty it's pretty hard to get off of this as of now.
- 1:11:28[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this actually is I believe my favorite lineup all year and if this is indeed what I end up playing.
- 1:11:36[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 1:11:37[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, this is a really intriguing lineup.
- 1:11:39[SPEAKER_01]: I look at it.
- 1:11:40[SPEAKER_01]: I, the one question that I had that I wanted to bring up is, I feel like, you know, in a lot of these, you know, lineups for the most part this year, you've gone with your, you know, like the big purchase has been at running back where they're, you know,
- 1:12:02[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, looking at, you know, weighing that over, I mean, I know Gibbs is, uh, you know, on by week this week, but over someone like B. John or another like top running back with, like, what played into the factor specifically of, uh, Puka over some of those guys this time.
- 1:12:18[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
- 1:12:18[SPEAKER_00]: So that's that is an excellent question.
- 1:12:20[SPEAKER_00]: It just kind of comes down to, it just comes down to straight projection.
- 1:12:26[SPEAKER_00]: I want to play Beez on Robinson.
- 1:12:29[SPEAKER_00]: He is for reference.
- 1:12:30[SPEAKER_00]: He is 8700 on draft games this week.
- 1:12:33[SPEAKER_00]: So you're not really getting a discount, but he's projected for 25 points.
- 1:12:37[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, as we talked about, like you can see that happen, you can see very easily rushing
- 1:12:44[SPEAKER_00]: touch on her too, destroy them through the air.
- 1:12:47[SPEAKER_00]: The issue becomes, if I want to, let's, I make it up, but let's say you play, let's say you play instead of a reminder of Stevenson.
- 1:12:56[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so that's 2700.
- 1:12:58[SPEAKER_00]: Then what do you do?
- 1:12:59[SPEAKER_00]: You go down to Jalon Daniels at quarterback?
- 1:13:01[SPEAKER_00]: I don't want to do that.
- 1:13:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
- 1:13:03[SPEAKER_00]: Like it's to me, it's yes, he's good, but I think the Delta just in at least in terms of
- 1:13:09[SPEAKER_00]: At running back where you know, there's just like some guaranteed touch threshold where it's like, I don't know how efficient there are going to be with it.
- 1:13:16[SPEAKER_00]: But like I know that Stevenson's going to get 15, 20, 20 opportunities same thing with Braille and Allen, like, and because of that, their guaranteed some floor, you know, John Daniels or Tanama Keer, like whatever, like really bad quarterback you'd have to get down to.
- 1:13:30[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they could score 8 points, 9 points, 10 points, and you just get buried.
- 1:13:34[SPEAKER_00]: So internaments absolutely like I want to play these on Robinson, but safety wise like and then yeah it really just comes down to you there's just not a lot of guys at quarterback and that 5k range and this is You bring up a good point where it's like okay you've done this in the past you have to analyze every kind of sleep by itself it's every week is different right and so like if you look at the guys in the 5k range it's like
- 1:13:59[SPEAKER_00]: It's Herbert, it's Winston, it's Daniel Jones, it's like, they're not bad plays, but like, when you can just go up a little bit more.
- 1:14:05[SPEAKER_00]: And again, it's a different story if Josh Allen is, is 8,000, you know, or more.
- 1:14:11[SPEAKER_00]: But he's a really reasonable price this week, I think, to wait you cheap.
- 1:14:14[SPEAKER_00]: And so I just want to get that security of 2025 points out of my quarterback when I don't really feel very good about the options down there.
- 1:14:22[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, like, could I get actually buried by a 30 or 40 ball from Bison?
- 1:14:27[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but I have to play kind of the projection that I have to play the median outcomes.
- 1:14:31[SPEAKER_00]: And for that reason, I'm not willing to sacrifice a quarterback that much this week.
- 1:14:36[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, and that makes sense, and especially when you have a guy like Alan who's as consistent as they come in terms of putting up elite fantasy production because of the rushing ability and then obviously what he can do with this arm too.
- 1:14:48[SPEAKER_01]: It's a safe bet.
- 1:14:49[SPEAKER_01]: You're getting safe production at four to back.
- 1:14:57[SPEAKER_01]: Kyron Williams producing in a very high level Braille and Allen or Mondry Stevenson, they're going to be the bona fide RB ones and their respective offences, I mean, it makes sense to neither them are at at least from my understanding of it from watching you do this.
- 1:15:12[SPEAKER_01]: none of them are at incredibly pricey ranges, but it's worth maybe spending a little bit more at running back as opposed to wide receiver to have like those guaranteed touches the mix, whereas with worthy and Bernard, it may be more of upside plays, but even still with worthy, it's like homesets will throw the ball to somebody.
- 1:15:35[SPEAKER_01]: you know, I just out of, you know, out of necessity.
- 1:15:39[SPEAKER_01]: So just, just for fun, the closing moments here.
- 1:15:41[SPEAKER_00]: So I just went over to, uh, to the kind of optimizer simulator I use.
- 1:15:46[SPEAKER_00]: And I said, okay, what if what if I force fusion robots and what if I have to play him?
- 1:15:50[SPEAKER_00]: So you're, you're on medically losing almost two points of projection.
- 1:15:54[SPEAKER_00]: And also what you're doing in every lineup I'm looking at is your playing two tight ends.
- 1:15:58[SPEAKER_01]: Really?
- 1:15:59[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
- 1:15:59[SPEAKER_00]: And so to me,
- 1:16:02[SPEAKER_00]: If you were like always playing two to two tight ends, like regardless, then like, okay, maybe I'll find the money.
- 1:16:06[SPEAKER_00]: But again, where I kind of want to values some like floor, some media and outcome, the ability to play three running backs is so huge.
- 1:16:14[SPEAKER_00]: And so when I can do that, I just have to do it.
- 1:16:17[SPEAKER_00]: Because, yeah, if you're playing, like, for example, if you want to play the beach on, like, they're having you play Charlie Coler.
- 1:16:25[SPEAKER_00]: really the blocking tight end.
- 1:16:27[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, or or or Dallas got her who's fine, but the Tanner McKie throwing the ball or yeah, you know, you should.
- 1:16:33[SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying like it's it's just you're giving up so much.
- 1:16:37[SPEAKER_00]: Um, that I don't think you need to.
- 1:16:40[SPEAKER_00]: Uh, tournaments fine.
- 1:16:41[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I if you want to hope Charlie Colter falls into the end zone at at the story.
- 1:16:46[SPEAKER_00]: Um, you know, whatever, but
- 1:16:49[SPEAKER_00]: There is an element of safety and just, again, not being too fancy, not guaranteed branding it.
- 1:16:55[SPEAKER_00]: And so for those reasons, I think this week, it's almost impossible to play fusion Robinson or guys like that.
- 1:17:02[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, it's reasonable and especially at, you know, a position like Titan in fantasy or in general is just so volatile in terms of production, starting to have them more often than not isn't the, it's far from the safest option.
- 1:17:17[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, you have the touchdown upside, but if you don't have that, you're kind of screwed.
- 1:17:20[SPEAKER_00]: So, and some weeks you have to do it because there's some weeks you don't have.
- 1:17:25[SPEAKER_00]: Remondere Stevenson at 6k with the full workload or Braille and Allen sub-siccative full workload.
- 1:17:30[SPEAKER_00]: But again, this is why every week you have to kind of look at what are the pieces around it?
- 1:17:34[SPEAKER_00]: What do I have to have?
- 1:17:35[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I have to have Pook.
- 1:17:37[SPEAKER_00]: I feel like I have to have Allen at least in this lineup.
- 1:17:40[SPEAKER_00]: I have to have kind of Williams.
- 1:17:42[SPEAKER_00]: What does that leave you with?
- 1:17:44[SPEAKER_00]: And it's all about these sacrifices, these won't be one of these 222s, but like to me, I think you're just sacrificing way too much to get up to a guy like these on this week.
- 1:17:53[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I'm with you for sure.
- 1:17:55[SPEAKER_01]: So that's an exciting line of I'm curious to see how it plays out this week.
- 1:18:01[SPEAKER_01]: That's going to do it for this edition of Bears for breakfast.
- 1:18:03[SPEAKER_01]: Next week is going to be an interesting one.
- 1:18:05[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, because the bears play on Thursday night against the Patriots.
- 1:18:08[SPEAKER_01]: So it's going to be more of a recap episode than a preview episode and then the following week will, you know, go back to doing previews, but should be an interesting one, but
- 1:18:18[SPEAKER_01]: Bears taken on Falcons should be an exciting game.
- 1:18:21[SPEAKER_01]: I know I'm looking forward to it.
- 1:18:22[SPEAKER_01]: We're both excited for the explosiveness and what we anticipate to be like you said hydrogen bomb versus hydrogen bomb.
- 1:18:30[SPEAKER_01]: The two offences do can add it.
- 1:18:32[SPEAKER_01]: So thank you guys all for tuning in.
- 1:18:34[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you to bros specifically in the Twitter chat for asking burrito or crepes so we could dig into that and thanks to my good friend Peyton Averman for letting us know that they discovered a new species of
- 1:18:47[SPEAKER_01]: but I'm just going to tend to believe that that's the case and then we'll figure it out from there.
- 1:18:51[SPEAKER_01]: But thank you guys for tuning in.
- 1:18:54[SPEAKER_01]: I make sure to stay tuned next week for the next one.
- 1:18:57[SPEAKER_01]: And watch all the other stuff here at Second City Gridiron for your previews for games, recap so games, everything under the sun, a whole bunch of good old fun.
- 1:19:06[SPEAKER_01]: But for Jacob White, I've been Jacob and Fonte.
- 1:19:09[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see you in the next one.
- 1:19:11[SPEAKER_01]: Bear it out.
