Week 3 Preview: One Stat for Every Game

The transcript blends a product announcement with an in-depth NFL fantasy football discussion covering Week 3 matchups. Mavily New York introduces a new setting mist featuring gel-to-mist technology that delivers long-lasting, comfortable hydration without stickiness or residue—marketed as a revolutionary beauty solution. The main content centers on analyzing key games, including the Bengals' improved defense due to Dexter Lawrence’s presence, the Seahawks’ strong pass defense, and the Jets’ defensive dominance with few first downs. The Chiefs are highlighted for their aggressive rushing game, led by Kenneth Walker, while the Patriots face challenges from a weakened offensive line and a struggling quarterback, Drake May, whose inconsistent footwork and decision-making raise concerns. The Giants are criticized for trading away Dexter Lawrence, a move seen as detrimental to their defensive strength. Themes of player injuries, coaching decisions, and team dynamics run throughout, with notable moments including the Jets' potential surge, the Titans’ injuries, and the controversial impact of Caleb Williams’ injury on Jackson Dark’s season-ending damage. The discussion also touches on broader issues like team culture, media influence, and the unpredictability of modern football, concluding with a tone of skepticism and reflection on both performance and the evolving nature of the game.

Double taxes, fees, and terms apply. Welcome to the Ring of Fantasy football show. My name is Stan Heifetz. I'm joined by Danny Kelley. We're going back. We are previewing week three of the NFL season. A lot of backup quarterbacks. Wow. Marcus Mariotta, James Winston, and then Tyson Bajin and or Case Keenum three weeks of the season. A little bit of a downer. Come on TK. Brutal. Brutal. I mean, when was the last time Case Keenum played? Like three years ago. Case Keenum's played four games since COVID. He's kind of in that Chase Daniel camp where he's just like a career backup. And he's like the elder statesman of backups where he's just kind of always in the league. He's always. He had one really good season, I think. He's a coach. Like, you're a quarterback like that. You're the third guy in your vet. You're being paid to just basically be like a coach. He's like a mall and you're hanging out with the quarterback all the time and it's like a cool older brother to give you advice when you won't listen to mom or dad. Like that's really what his role is in the NFL. Two days one good season. He was a starter for the Vikings in 2017. He had 22 touchdowns, seven picks, 2017. That just feels like a lifetime ago. I don't even know what we were doing back then. So we'll see what happens. Caleb William. Yeah. I mean, that's Monday night football. Should we just doing that now? I mean, that was the, I feel like it did end up being the news of the week was of all the quarterbacks. Jackson, start walking off the field, ended up being out for the season. And then Caleb Williams, card it off, crying into the towel is like, yeah, maybe like two weeks, three weeks. We'll see. So you went into the last game of the week first. I think we did by accident. That's kind of like the entire one, but we can maybe we'll circle back at the end. But I guess we should start with the earlier games in the beginning. But the morning slate, we're doing one stat for every game. All start, bangles, Steelers, game of the year, whoo, the bangles are favor by three and half points to win this game. It's in Pittsburgh, my one stat, the Cincinnati bangles have allowed a league low 78 rushing yards to running backs. Wow. This year, they are top five in rushing yards allowed per game and they are top five in rushing defense success rate. The bangles defense is kind of a thing now. And it's not something you really ever associate with the bangles. They used to be cowboys north or whatever you wanted to call it or the cowboys were bangles south, but the bangles are a little bit more balanced now. And this game, look, I think the bangles always play well against the Steelers. I went back and I looked up how burrow does against the Steelers versus every other team in the NFL. Burrow scores four more points a game against the Steelers versus all the other teams, which is like not nothing. That's interesting. You can fantasy it real life. I'm sorry, the bangles, when burrow is the quarterback for the bangles, they score 30 points per game over the last four seasons. Jamar chase had 16 catches against the Steelers last year. Remember that game? That was flacco. The 23rd target of the game for Jamar chase, he was uncovered. It was like madden where you're on easy mode and you would just run, you know, crossers on easy mode, just always. It was just that. He would just catch like 12 yard passes every single series. Well, what do you make as a Steelers fan of Joey Porter Jr. just still kind of being in a holdout fake back injury? They won't pay him. The Steelers don't do deals middle of the season. So now it was one thing when the Steelers were playing Atlanta and New England, but now they're playing Jamar chase, the bangles and the divisional game against like the best receiver in the NFL and Joey Porter Jr. is not going to be out there. Like where, how do you feel about that? I blame the Steelers, not Joey Porter and I think the Steelers should pay him and I think they're a rule of you. We don't pay anybody mid season is stupid. Pay your good players. He's young and good and maybe you have to pay a little bit of a premium, but that's how this stuff works and you waited too long and you should have done it. The only interesting thing is now that he's not on the injury report anymore. So if Joey Porter doesn't play, there's a chance he could start losing money not getting paid. So they're in a very weird spot right now where he might have to come back despite not having a contract. A new contract, I should say. So they did add him to the injury report, but it says they have it as not injury related. They have it as conditioning. Exactly. I don't know what to add. Conditioning. If he doesn't play and he's not on the injury report, he would be forfeiting his checks. I don't know what's going to happen. The whole thing's been super weird. It's like classic Steelers. They're like, it's done negotiating like it's 1982 and everything they're doing is outdated and old. Everything they do is like it's 1982. Even their quarterback was born in 1982, probably when they're in Rodgers, born. Honestly, I think they're going to cut an L that, but nothing's changed about the team in general, too. That was pretty good. It's weird to see Mike Tomlin criticizing the Steelers when nothing's changed. Like the Steelers are the second worst offense by EPA and the best defense by EPA and their offensive line kind of sucks, and they can't protect Rodgers and I'm like, I push back on a defense. I think they're doing a good job. I think Patrick Graham's doing a good job. But like they played the Falcons and then the Patriots who are a mess, but I do agree the defense. I've always thought the defense is good. To the Bengals point, I have to ask you an important question, Craig, what do you think changed with the Bengals' defense? What could possibly be the difference? Maybe it's Dexter Goddamn Lawrence not being on the Giants that go to the Bengals and being an absolute destroyer of worlds. That has appeared to have worked in the good corners. Yeah, the Bengals defense and they're honestly the lines on the Bengals, offensive and defensive. I think they're both very underrated and it's taking a little while for us to come around to the fact that they're maybe they're not great, but they're certainly league average or maybe a little above that. So I think the Bengals are going to win this game. I think Chase Brown is a guy who quietly, he's maybe not a by-law because he hasn't been bad, but he's been pretty average and I think you might be a little disappointed if you took him. I did like 15th overall in the ringer league, but he's quietly getting 22 touches a game, which is a lot. That's seventh in the league. So I think-- The points don't come for him. Yeah. I think he's the next guy to pop. Yeah. I'm so mad that Giants traded Dexter Lawrence for one pick. I still can't believe that they just got one pick for Dexter Lawrence. If it's, is it triggering at all whatsoever that Dexter Lawrence is helping potentially transform the Bengals' defense and Leonard Williams has transformed the Seahawks' defense? Why? Because the Giants traded both away. Yes, that's why. Are you trying to trigger me? Just a little. Are you happy for Dexter Lawrence, at least? Sure. I'm mad that I-- did I not say this the moment that he was fucking traded, that this was a mistake and they didn't get enough? I mean, still, nobody has explained to me why Max Crosby's price went before they redid the trade was basically double what the Giants got for Dexter Lawrence. I still don't understand it. And the whole thing was promised that Dexter Lawrence is not the same player anymore. He's clearly great. And this is a huge mistake. And I-- Did you not understand? I don't think there's some-- Honestly, I think it's a bad trade. That's all there is. Once again, we said at the time, if it was the eleventh pick and the Giants couldn't hide behind the fact that it was two top 10 picks, because no one would feel like top 11 doesn't sound as good. And a bad draft. Everyone would be like, oh, love the pick and a bad draft and instead, whatever. It's-- it's just-- again, he's such an impactful player that, you know what, I-- whatever, man. Speaking of the Leonard Williams-- Yeah. Okay. I got the Seahawks Commanders game. My stat for this game is that the Seahawks-- this is according to NFL researcher. The Seahawks are giving up a pass rating of 2.8 on passes of 10 plus yards down the field. They've basically given up almost nothing downfield and they have four picks on deep passes. And that's against Drake May, who is last year one of the best deep ball passers in the NFL. If not the best, deep ball passer in the NFL. And Jacobi Berset, who is kind of like Baker Mayfield, and just loves to rip the ball down the field. So the Seahawks pass defense has been incredible. Now, he-- they get to face Marcus Mario and a really kind of struggling Commanders offense. And Seahawks hasn't even had their full group. Right. They've been-- completely-- there's been injuries. Emma and Worry just kind of is like making his way back. Their cornerback group is pretty thin right now. And they're relying on guys like that have not really played before. So it's really impressive what they've done so far. And a part of that is-- a big part of that is they're just incredible at getting pressure on the quarterback. Are you worried about the the Ewing theory with Sam Darnold or - What? - Am I worried that actually Drew Locke should just be the star, is that what you're saying? - Yeah, even though they won the Super Bowl and 14%. - How many games in a row would Drew Locke have to win for you to be like, "Don't put Donald Trump in the Super Bowl?" - Probably the Super Bowl. - Like, seven, eight? - Eight, eight, eight. - Like, if they're netty. - If they went eight, no, I'd start being like, "Wow, baby, they should just see what Locke has here." But no, not really. They will go back to sounds like Donald Trump. - No, I want the real number. - He's trending towards playing. - Like, if he starts 16 and oh, you're not bad, she goes, "Let's be real." - Yeah, I said eight. - But then you said not really. - I mean, I would start thinking about it. - You know this, DK doesn't like to answer. - He hates questions. - He can't, the man can't be asking questions. - He's Christ. - You guys asked me these hypotheticals and then you liked to make me like bet my whole life on it or something. - Stupid questions, like, who's gonna win the Super Bowl? - The basis of all mail-- - That's not the question. - Interactive and friendship is on stupid hypothetical questions. - Yeah. - And I gave you answers. And then you keep pressing me on it. - Speaking of stupid questions, did you guys see that Kurt Warner, he's like, "Stop pressing me." I answered the question. It's stressing me out. - Kurt Warner had an incredible pivot. Obviously, everyone kind of, like, poke fun at Kayla Williams all week for getting carded off on the end of hamstring injury. Kurt Warner had an incredible pivot, which was actually J. Daniels is the one who's a bitch. Not a quote, but Kurt Warner basically was like, "You know, I had the same injury. I played through it at the "Mr. Game." I was like, "36." - Don't you mean I hear crying about it? - It was kind of an incredible. - Former high-level quarterbacks are kind of like the most annoying guys on in football and now they are. - Veteran retired stars talking about the next generation of athletes. They couldn't hate anybody anymore. - I think Steve Young. - I forget who it was. I think Steve Young said, if you want to be around a weird group, a weird dynamic of like all alpha males, be around like 12 Hall of Fame quarterbacks. Like at that like Super Bowl 50, they're all in the same little green room of like, before the Super Bowl and they have 15 Hall of Famers. Everyone's trying to pick Dick each other like the entire time. It's the weirdest environment ever. Kurt Warner said, "I suffer the exact same injury "as Jaden Daniels back in 2007. "I play the next week. "I brace it up. "Obviously a couple shots along the way." Like, big ejections. I had to hand the football off with my right hand in both directions, but this to me is something 'cause it's the left arm. If he wants to play through that, get back out there and help his team, I believe he can. I actually think he's right. Jaden Daniels might come back sooner than he thinks, but there's also just this element of, I don't know, Kurt Warner. He's still so mad at it when that other Super Bowl with the Cardinals and I think he's mad, he's not involved in these conversations, I don't know. - Yeah, the kids are soft now. Well, we'll be saying that for the rest of time. When I'm 60, I'm gonna be saying the kids who are 20 years soft, it's just, it is the natural lifestyle. - The world keeps spinning. The podcasters, you know, the podcasters that could have made it in our era. That's what we're gonna say. - DK, do you think you should start, you know, if you're desperate maybe, but if you have a kind of a normal fantasy roster, you're not decimated by injuries. Are you starting a single player on Washington? - I think I would still be willing to start Diggs. - Really? - Not cool. - Like, no, not McLaren. I mean, McLaren has what, like, four catches in two games and that was with, that was with Jaden Daniels. I don't know if I would trust him, but Diggs has been incredible and I do think they'll try and get him the ball a lot. This is a desperation type situation. I'm not saying like he's gonna be highly ranked or anything like that, but I still would feel okay I think starting Diggs, but not anyone else on this team. Certainly not the run, the running backs. Maybe, yeah, no, I think Diggs is probably the only guy I would think about. - DK, one more question? - I think everybody. - I would sit everyone, I wouldn't play Diggs. DK, one more question, is that okay? Another question? What did you think of the Mike McDonald's Sean Payton thing? That was the fun thing. - Juicy. - Juicy, juicy situation here. - For those who didn't know, basically, Mike McDonald had this interview with, I think that guy has, they know each other really well, but they was doing this podcast and then for whatever reason, they posted the pre-interview question that was like clearly like off the record, not part of the interview, like what he kinda got, private story. - He got gone. - He got gone. It was like the back, wide camera you could see the whole set, it looked like a Nathan Fielder documentary or something going on. - And it obviously was like a private account of like Sean Payton and Sean Payton basically accused them of like spy gate. And then they were like, hey Sean, it turns out these videos, fans took of your practices, which are on Twitter and we watched them. And then Sean Payton was really. - We looked at Twitter, Sean. - Yeah, so he just, and he was like, "Oh my God, these are on Twitter." And he's like, "Why do we let fans into the practices?" But Mike McDonald recounted all this about they were gonna threatening to sue each other or whatever. And then it became a whole drama, but. - I got a lot of people tagging me this week saying, one more reason to hate Sean Payton is like, "I'm getting mad about fucking looking at videos from Twitter." And accusing the CX of cheating. - Well, again, this is an older generation, younger generation thing. - Yes. - Not knowing that the internet works. - Mike, Mike take on it is damn. Mike McDonald, he is really searching for edges. I mean, if they were like, they're making a full cut up and like doing some scouting based on Twitter videos from fans. - Now to be honest. - Always competing. - My first thought was like, this does kind of open the floodgates of like fans getting quietly hired by teams to take or like not hired, but like this now feels like something I never thought about that is possible, doesn't it? - I'm sure this isn't the first time anyone's thought of doing it. - Totally. - Yes, but yeah. - But I never really considered the fact that fans could just film like 10s, 20 straight minutes of like whatever and just kind of post it for the world to see. - Yeah, the teams know that people do this. They've really clamped down. The media's only allowed to have like different videos for very certain portions of practice. But yeah, that was those. - So wait 'til you have those, everyone's 10 years from now when we're all wearing Snapchat glasses, just wait. - Oh my god. - And everyone's gonna be recorded. - They're all, everyone's wearing sunglasses. They're gonna, here's the deal. You just can't do anything secretive at these training camp practices. - Did you guys see that the new iPhone apparently has a setting? I don't know if it's the automatic setting or you have to like toggle it on. - Or it records the sound that is going on at all times. And whenever you want, you can click a button and it'll play you the last 15 seconds of sound that has taken place. - I saw this and I assumed I misunderstood it because I was like, who wants that? - So it's always recording? - Yes, well, it's like the succession. We're always listening. - We're always listening. - We're listening. - We're listening. No, no, no, it means we're listening. Yeah, what's wrong with that? - We hear you. - Yeah. - Well, the problem is we are listening. - We don't think my phone can just play back 15 seconds of audio from my life whenever I want. - It's funny because like this was a conspiracy like less than 10 years ago where people were like, "I was talking about an ad." And I think it was like listening to me the whole time. It was like actually someone else you were texting that about, Google it and they probably walked on your Wi-Fi. And now it's like, no, no, that's like a feature. They're like, "Hey, hey, cool." Like we're listening to the entire time. - I might not have to go back to the flip phone. I don't know. - Yeah. - Next game, next game here. The Houston Texans are at the Indianapolis Colts, both are O and two, which is just incredible. - The Texans, my one three would be shocked, would be very surprising. - The irony is the Texans started O and three last year and made the playoffs, but it doesn't feel like they'll do that this year. Whoever starts O and three this year is probably missing the playoffs. My one big fact for Texans Colts, I am gonna paraphrase Stephen Holder, who does a great job covering the Colts at the ESPN. The Colts have given up 1,029 yards in two games. - Ooh. - Which is not only the most in the NFL, but it is the most that any team has allowed through two weeks and 10 years. Oh, the last team that allowed more than 1,030 yards in two weeks was the 2016 Raiders. So big game, because either the Texans offense is gonna like really struggle again against the worst defense of the league, or the Colts were gonna go O and three even though they traded their first run pick. Both are pretty disastrous. - I mean, it doesn't look like Nico Collins is gonna play in this game. His hamstring thing seems to be lingering. So, and they could not, and Houston could not run the ball for shit last week either. David Montgomery had like 10 yards rushing. It was a mess. - Dexter Lawrence destroyed the Texans offensive line. - Yes. Are you playing David Montgomery in this game? - Yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean, the Colts allowed in the most yards over the last like 10 years, I think you have to. If they can't run on the Colts, I think they could do it. - Yeah, it sounds weak one. I feel like it'll even add a little. - Okay. - I'm just gonna ask you my own start set questions throughout this episode. - Yeah, that's helpful. Do you guys like the Texans in this one then? - I do. - I don't know. - Yeah. - I think the Texans are gonna win this game. And I think the Colts, if the Colts lose, they're in a, I mean, again, I think Chris Baller, the GM's gonna get fired at the end of the season. We had this email from Joseph. I really wanted to read it, but it was like a blog. It was so long and Joseph, I didn't want you to know I heard your email. He basically just, we heard Chris Baller. - We hear you. - We hear you. - We hear you, we're listening. - Yes. - He basically, Chris Baller's the most overrated GM. And he called the Colts, they are all caps. He was like, the Colts, they have ended their last three seasons. Nine and eight, eight, nine, eight, nine. They're the Pittsburgh Steelers without culture, history, or even being able to make the playoffs. - It's funny, it's like they almost beat Patrick Maholens like six days ago. - Yes, well, he wrote it after that game. He made the point that kind of did strike me, which is that the Colts kind of haven't had a good defense for like 20 years, which is true. Even when they won the Super Bowl, it was like the defense was good for like six weeks. But anyway, yeah, the Colts, trading for sauce gardener, if the cults go under 500 this year, it's like an absolute catastrophe. Because sauce gardener, again, hasn't won a football game in America in like two years. So yeah, I, I, such a random stat. It's a football game in America for two years. Okay, but yeah, the, I don't, I'm not breaking any news here either, but like Daniel Jones has not been good. And he, he needs to, I mean, if you, if you look at his numbers, they're, they're, they're not very good. Both teams, I mean, again, Alec Pierce is out, is out for this game. I mean, the cults, they're, they're not in a good spot. We'll see what happens. They need Jonathan Taylor. I just think the Texas defense is not playing a lead either, but it's a, I, I, I really don't have faith. We'll see whoever is obviously in a huge thing, because you've seen just started, didn't sign a contract before this season, if they start on three, but I think the cults going on three, the vibes would be horrific, because they have just absolutely doubled down on this build on, on Daniel Jones, on Alec Pierce, on all these players, uh, and Franklin Chris Ballard, and the owner, Carly, Carly, or say Gordon, and basically said, yeah, I'm going to fire everyone if they don't make the playoffs. So it's just like terrible vibes. So I do think it's, there's been some discourse about their, say, daughter on the field, taking notes, got the headset in. People are kind of like making fun of her. I kind of think it's cool. I think it's a cool look. Who cares? I think it's kind of engaged. Yeah, she's locked in. Let her listen in and take notes. Who cares? I think the problem is the players, maybe. Why? What was she doing? She's just walking around taking notes and trying to be engaged in the fucking team that she holds. So what? I think the problem is, you guys, no, no, go ahead. I don't, I don't, I actually don't have a strong take on this. I, I, I can understand like from the players, the players from the players want any women. It doesn't matter if they own the team. DK, you've said to me before off, Mike, that you don't like where I'm inside. I think you should say it. Well, he's okay with cheerleaders. That's it though. Oh my god. Yeah. No, it's, I think it's like, it's a matter of, do you want like your boss breathing down your neck when you're fucking podcasting? Do you want Bill right behind you? Like, it's like the Sean Payton thing. Like right next to Davis Web or whatever. It's like, I don't know if that's like a really a helpful thing at all or not, but I don't actually care. I don't, I don't have a strong opinion on it. Bill Walsh wrote about this in his book. And he's like the, and we were talking about this when Brandon Bean got promoted for the bills while Sean McDermick got fired. And he said while the coach is at like grinding film and he got through the facility at five and is still there at 10 o'clock, the owner is at dinner with the GM eating a giant steak and the GM is telling him why it's the coach's fault. And the dynamic Chris Ballard has hit two draft picks in six years. Shane Stuykin is just turning Daniel Jones into like one of the most incredible quarterbacks in Jonathan Taylor into like modern day wall or what like Eric Dickerson. And the like, but the owner doesn't know football, so they have to lean on a football person to be their like person. And Chris Ballard is that guy for the earth say family. And the problem is that like they're going to have to fire Chris Ballard and say an absolutely, they should keep Shane Stuykin. And for whatever reason, I just feel like they might clean house. The firing Stuykin would be insane. He's been so good and made everyone around so much better. And frankly Chris Ballard is miss a ridiculous around it, man, a picks, but he is beloved in media. And so he has like knocking him. Stuykin is like the most under-discussed great play calling head coach in the league. Yeah. Yeah. He's excellent. I mean, oh yeah. He's, again, the Eagles, the Super Bowl, that they lost, but it's like the Eagles like they should have had 35 almost 42 points in the game. Yeah. So by the way, yeah, if you don't understand sarcasm, Craig was joking about that. I didn't actually say that thing to him about people. Some people just don't have, they can't understand that it is sarcasm. So I just want to make that clear. So you're saying that you did say it, but you were being sarcastic. It's like a Mike Penn sideline thing. He's like, you know, no lunch. No, I didn't say it. And I wasn't, and there was no intonation because it wasn't said. The fact that you're trying so hard to clarify is actually worrying, I think. Next game here, the charges are 0 and 2 at the Buffalo Bills or 2 and 0. This is also just an incredibly important game for vibes if nothing else. Totally. This is one of the two, this is like one of the two marquee early games for me, because while the chargers might not be an exciting team to watch, literally, narratively, they're fascinating. And so my stat is that the chargers have gained 20 or more yards on 2% of their plays, which is ahead of only the Cardinals and the Giants. Meanwhile, the Bills gained 20 or more yards on 10% of their plays, which is wild. One in every 10 plays, the Bills get 20 or more yards. I like that stat because 20 yards is cool shit. Yeah. And it's like the Bills do five times as much cool shit sounds exactly right. We don't need to beat the like what's wrong with the chargers thing into the ground. I would, the one thing that's bothered me the most is that Herbert is, the chargers are second to last in pressure rate this year. And I just don't know like last year. Herbert getting pressure, do you mean defense? He's getting pressure at the second highest clip in the league, just in Herbert. With his two all-protackles, Sean Slater and Joel are back. Don't you remember it was only a month ago, a month or two ago. I would talk about this a lot. And everybody would. The stats around what Herbert was able to do, just when one of the all-protackles was on the field, when Joel played four games last year, just in Herbert by EPA, was like the best quarterback in the last five years. And now you have both of them back. And I know the scheme has changed, but it's remarkable how different and how shitty it still is, despite the fact that they have like two of the best 10 tackles in the fucking league. I mean, I think one that's a small sample size in that group, which is part of the reason, like, you know, it's not all those teams had great pass pressures that they were playing last year. And also just the interior of the line is completely collapsed, because a lot of the optimism was around Tyler Beodish, the new center, who immediately got hurt for the entire season. But it's not just that. It's Joe Al got abused by Max Cosby. Joe Al had like four penalties in the game. Like not. Yeah, well the Giants don't have Max. Well, yeah, but the stats where he was like, like, yeah, Max Cosby's better than Joe. Also, Joe, all these guys are recovering from injuries, which never gets discussed. Like you have season in injury, you're coming back, like you're rehabbing from a season in injury. Like you're not probably not 100% and then you're playing Max Cosby. Also, it's like, now you have Deoni Walker coming in, facing this charger. The largest man in the world. Oh my gosh. He's been awesome. And the charger's interior offensive line is a an actual problem. DK, you nailed that in the draft when Deon Walker was drafted. When we were doing the combine, you're like, the person I want to see the most Deon Walker. I don't know if he's good at football. He's the biggest person ever seen. He'll probably play for 10 years. I'm a subscriber to planet theory. I like the planet theory philosophy where there's just only so many people. His size walking around on Earth six foot seven thirty. He's just, he's really quick-footed and powerful. There was some like stuff like injury stuff and concerns like that going into the draft is I think big reason why he fell because he's a big man and everything around that. But yeah, he's been really, really impressive. Like people talking about him as one of the best young defensive tackles in the NFL right now. He's really rising. I think he's only like 22 years old or something like that. So yeah, he sets the tone for them. A couple more things I wanted to hit in this game. One, it seems like Lad Maconky's going to play. He's he had a rib injury. Broke a rib. It seems like he played through it last week. It seems healthier now. The charger is so far this year. I've put up twice as many yards when Lad's on the field versus when he's not. So that matters a lot. I think Aronde Gadsden is a good dark throw tight end play this week. Both their other two tight ends are on IR. Gadsden. Actually, Charlie Kohler is not going on IR. Oh, okay. They changed their mind or they reverse course on that. On that note, though. So the charge. So again, you mentioned the two tight ends. The charges are hurt. You have Aronde Gadsden. Not necessarily a locker. So a few weeks ago, the charges signed Justin Herbert's younger brother to their practice. And I kind of thought that was like a bit, you know, like a yon as situation. You know what I mean? You're like, it's the NASA is really going to play. No, but like I guess he brings vibes to practice or whatever. And now the charges are down to tight ends. And they got his brother in the practice squad. And they either have to elevate this man because he's the tight end of the practice squad, or they have to cut him and admit that that was a bit. And they actually have no intention of fucking playing Justin Herbert's brother either way. It's kind of fucked up because either they're going to play Justin Herbert's brother at least make him on the active roster or admit that like there was kind of no reason that he was there because they're very close. Justin Herbert stayed in Oregon a year at longer because he said he wanted the chance to play his brother as a freshman in Oregon. And he wanted to play together. So I don't know what's going on there, but keep an eye on that. I think it's, I don't know what they're going to do. His name is Patrick. It's name is Patrick. Yes. Patrick had completely forgotten or memory hold the fact that Justin Herbert had a brother. That was playing in the end. The giant should have gotten Justin Herbert the number like they were. The giant's wanted to take him really high in the draft. The year that the giant's wanted to trade up, but then he didn't come out. That was the year with Tyler Murray. Sure. Speaking of tight ends, Dolan Kincaid is an early candidate for one of the best picks in fantasy. Yes. The number one scoring tight end in fantasy. He is the most receiving yards for tight ends. Number one in yards per round run. And he's still he's playing more than he did last year, but not a ton. Not like a ton. He basically was like running routes on half of the past his last year. Now he's like two thirds, but most tight ends are like 75 or 80%. So he's still not even all the way there. And he's been fantastic. Generally, I mean, dude, the bills are on 10 days rest. The chargers are going across the country to Buffalo. The vibes could not be high. for Buffalo. Josh Allen's playing the best football he's ever played. They got their new stadium. They got their new uniforms. The uniforms suck. I'm sorry to interrupt your point. You did. I had like a whole fucking thing. But it's fine. Yeah, the uniform's suck. I'm sorry. No, it's good. You're all mad because I pointed out that you don't like women on the sidelines. Yeah, you fucking deserve that shit. I actually not sorry anymore. Wow. You deserve to be wrecking your joke. Tell me about these uniforms, Craig. Well, I don't know what the obsession is with the color gray, but it's obviously the worst color for a uniform. And literally last, at pink is better. There's every color is better than gray. They're horrible. It's all gray. Fuck wants gray uniform. The helmets got like the red swish going around it. They literally took the bill off the buffalo off the helmet. The coolest part of the bills, the whole thing is the buffalo. They're like, yeah, fuck the buffalo. They are all gray. It is a grout fit and it looks like shit. And then they are, I believe, the worst uniforms in the NFL. A close second is the Rams from Monday night, the highlighter yellow. Oh, yeah, the yellow. That was, yeah, that was like a walk at the room. You're like, what everyone was like, what is this? I will say the bills one, they look like a, they look like a bad XFL uniform. They're kind of unrecognizable because of the helmet change to this. It is so weird that so again, with respect to whoever did this, this is the most overthinking it I've ever seen. All they respect to this piece of who took the bill's helmet was like, what about half of a, what about a red line going like halfway? Who the fuck did that? Who does these unies? Who says yes? Who saw these? And they were just like, oh, it's too awkward to say no. Who approved this? This is Nike. I think we're in a really bad day. They have a lot of eyes on this. This is why Nike's losing cultural clout. This is unbelievable. I think we're in a really bad place with uniforms. It's also funny because it's kind of the easiest job, which is just do something from the 90s or the 80s. Everyone loves to love us. Do less. Hyvets always says like, I could be a GM and we joke like Hyvets could be a good GM. And I know everyone is always like armchair experting themselves. If I walked into the NFL Jersey's office tomorrow, I'd fix them on an hour. I really go that way. It's unbelievable. I don't get it. It's yeah. If you think we're exaggerating, Google, you'll see how I kick it over. Okay. Next game. You know what real quick before we move on, one thing I've noticed and found over my years covering the NFL is people have really weird opinions about what looks good. They do. No, that's true. The COX uniforms are divisive. Have you seen how some people dress? That's true. Like some people just have really fucking weird opinions on like what looks good on your body. But they're capable of doing it though. The bangles having the all white uniforms was awesome. Yeah. Yeah, like yeah, I don't know. I know what you mean, DK. I'm just saying, there's a lot of bad drivers out there. A lot of bad like uniform opinion havers. Next game is the Carolina Panthers shut the Cleveland Browns, who are both one in one. And this is the first brown time game. Can't wait for this one. Yeah. Actually, the Panthers are kind of fun. I shouldn't show the panthers. I was gonna say how dare you. Yeah, and that's what that was. Right, Sean, number two. No, I one stat. Sorry. Sorry. It's okay. Craig, do we need to talk things out? I feel like we're having a hard one today. All right. One stat. Do it. Talk it out. I expose you. It's all right. One stat for the Panthers, Cleveland Browns game through two games. The Panthers pass rate over expectation. This is according to fantasy points is 9.4. That is the second highest in the NFL. They are passing a lot. They can't really, I mean, they're just not even trying to run the ball. And this isn't a game where, especially last week, where they absolutely blew out the Falcons. They were up 34 to three. Bryce still threw the ball 36 times in that game. And I just salute offensive coordinators in this case, Brad Eddick, who are willing to keep doing what works, even if you're winning by a lot. So I don't know. I just like that. I'm in favor of it. There was a famous, there was a famous interaction between Pete Carroll and Martian Lynch, like during the Pete Carroll era, where Lynch literally went over to Carol and was like, hey, can we keep scoring points? And Carol was like, yeah, yeah, we can. And he's like, no, but seriously, can we keep scoring points? And I think about that all the time, because so many coaches, when you get up, play like one or two touch, like one touchdown, they're like, okay, we're going to play a conservative, not turn the ball over. We're going to rely on our defense. And then you have these teams hang around until the end of the game. And all of a sudden, you're in a bad situation in the fourth quarter, or whatever. So I just applaud teams who keep their foot on the fucking gas throughout the game. And that's what we've seen so far with Panthers. Bryce is the QB2. This all happened because of what we did in that draft, right? Of course. Yeah. Like we forced high fence to take Bryce Young, who has been like in his whatever coming into this year was one of the worst fantasy quarterbacks imaginable. And now he's scoring 28 points a game through two games. He'll probably have another big game here. Yeah, against the Browns who are not very good defensively so far, they've given up an opposing pass rating of 112, which is really, really bad. 27th and pressure rate, only eight quarterback hits in two games. This could be another big game for Bryce. Imagine setting your makeup then forgetting it's even theirs. Meet new grippy setting mist from Maybelline, New York.

The Jeffs are at the Lions this week. Both teams are one and one. Obviously, Aaron Glenn is the coach of the Jets and he was the Lions defensive coordinator for a long time. So here's a defensive related stat for you, which is Aaron Glenn's Jets, the Jets have allowed the fewest first downs in the NFL this season. While the Lions have allowed the most, the Lions have allowed 63 first downs on defense in two weeks, which so staggered me. I looked up where does that rank in the entire true media database since 2000. And the answer is the Lions have given up the second most first downs through two weeks in the in the last 26 years. Wow. Hot knife through butter. I'd like to I'd like to zoom in on the Jets here for one second and discuss the possibilities of what would happen if they win this game. If the Jets beat the Detroit Lions in this game, for the first time in a long time, like the Jets are really on the verge of having legitimate juice. Yeah. I do. The first time since the summer when I said they had a lot of juice. Well, that was off mic. You wouldn't say that on mic. That was what you were talking about, Carlier say, Gordon, the Jets, we don't know what you're saying. But like, it feels like we're very close. There's like, it's percolating. There's little bubbles on the water. Something's down there. And if they actually can come out and win this game and beat the Lions in Detroit, it's like holy shit, the Jets have juice. I totally agree. I know which they would have fucking finished that game because then we could have been talking about them in a completely different light. Completely botched the last quarter of that game, but they were so close to being too. Oh, yeah. I mean, you know what? I'm saying it again. This is the week the Jets get the interception. I know I correct. This is the week. The Jets get the pick. They have an interception in like two years. Dude, this is the week since the since the start of last year, the Jets have zero picks. The next the next worst team is the Cowboys with six. The count, the the bears who are number one in the last two years and interceptions have 24. They have 24 interceptions in the time the Jets have had zero. That's why the Jets are right for the bears. No, I it is interesting. Like I mean, Aaron Glenvers, you know, the Lions, obviously like, I mean, the Lions, I've you know, I've talked to this. The Lions are down in entire secondary. Literally, both the Kirby Joe's, the Brian Branch, the Ryan Arnold, Ennis Rakeshira, Avanti Maddox. They're down in entire secondary. And the D Lions find like, I just, you know, so, but yeah, the Jets being the Jets would be really cool. I think you play Garrett Wilson's a must-start this week. I think Garrett Wilson could go nuclear the next few weeks. Lions, horrific defense, bears, bad defense, Browns are bad vibes. Patriots is good defense. But then it's the dolphins like Garrett Wilson from now on for the next month can be the number one receiver in fantasy and that wouldn't blow my mind. I don't know if it's likely, but like those those are bad defenses and he's getting a third of the snaps, a third of the targets. Yeah, Eddie, Mitchell, I think, is useful. I think the Jets offense is going to be really good for the next month. And then, but the defense is the thing that I kind of was really dubious of. I felt like Aaron Glengrapp play calling to save his own ass. And I was very skeptical of the Jets. I mean, the coaching staff, everything Frank Reich being out at League for two years. Craig Frank Reich defended his shotgun run in fourth down. I think he heard you. He said that there's four percent better chance running him in fourth down from a shotgun than there is under center. So and then Frank Reich said Craig rollback will fuck yourself. Good. I like that actually. And I, oh, see, defend your pants and your calls. Old man using math. You're like, whoa, didn't. By the way, Eddie Mitchell was added to the injury report with a finger injury yesterday. So or today, I should say, is it bad that I want to be like, which finger? I've got nine more. Yeah, I kind of, the lines are level, but I actually kind of do want the Jets to win this game. That'd be nice. Yeah. We like the Jets. I like the Jets. Chiefs are at the all lines of all teams. The America's team. I know. Chiefs are at the dolphins. Not much here. Chiefs are favorite by ten and a half. My stat here is that the Chiefs have 372 rushing yards through two games, which is their most season since 1978. And to couple it with that, Patrick Mahomes has completed a career how 14 passes with play action over the first two weeks. And so it's the Kenneth Walker effect that chiefs being able to run the ball. Kenneth Walker is the new Tyree kill for the chief. He's the force multiplier. He's opening everything up. It used to be like sending Tyree deep and now it's the threat of the run. It's completely opening everything up. I do want to point out with Ken Walker. It's two games. So the extrapolation is a little bit over the top. But he is currently technically on pace for 476 touches, which would be the second most ever. Yeah. That's 100 more than Sequan got the year they won the Super Bowl. They're going to scale that back a little bit. Yeah. That's why she writes is going to get more of this stuff, I think. Yeah. I think so too. But yeah, I just wanted to start there with I was the chiefs running game in the play action passing. It's like perfectly in tandem and totally working. We don't have to linger here. Do we? Okay. No. She used her favorite by 10 and a half. This game sucks. The next game, the Patriots are at the Jaguars this week. My stat is last year, an expected points added per dropback. Drake may ranked first. And this year, Drake may ranks 30 second. So that's a big difference. Where are you out of panic scale? 1 to 10. 6.2. I'm not as panicked as others. Yeah. I'm not panicked. But I acknowledged that which one of you said that what is the percentage chance that Drake may has Carson Wentz? It was an intrusive thought I had on Sunday night. I was like, what if he's a fear deep down in my gut? What if he's Carson Wentz? I think you're wrong, but I also admit that you've given me a thought virus. We're now with that bounces around in the back of my head, like I'm sure at the beginning of the show, like that is just like I can't get rid of it. It's just bouncing here and every week that he plays poorly, I'm going to be like, huh, I do think every thing he throws. Uh oh. It's similar because Carson Wentz had an incredible run against like Met Competition. And it was mostly this unsustainable third down shit. Yeah. Super ball that he didn't get to go to. Drake may, I think it will be elite still having said that this season, his feet have just been a mess. And your footwear or quarterbacks footwork is just a window into a quarterbacks mind. And Drake may's feet are really scattered and Drake may for whatever reason. And I don't totally get it. It's just not seeing things. He doesn't see defenders right in front of a right in front of where he's throwing. Drake may is not seeing open receivers that are like the, the, the intended target of the play that are wide open. He's moving out of clean pockets. His, he's just bounced like his footwork indicates this for whatever reason, hesitation and hesitation affects execution. And so he's just not getting passes there, which is weird because his arm strength is fine, but it's all connected. And he's doesn't have, he, I don't know if he's thinking like Brooks Keppga style where Brooks Keppga was like, I remember, you know, the comedy made about Scotty Sheffler. He's like, the best golfer the world's not thinking about shit, you know what I mean? And then like Drake may looks like he's thinking. And he's way better when he's not thinking. And I don't know how much it, yeah. And so I, we'll see what happens. But part of it is Mike on when it was the best offensive line for the Patriots and he broke his ankle last week. And he's out for the season. The Patriots are probably up to make this Super Bowl for Mike and Wendell to come back this year. He was the best lineman. And this was not a good offensive line. So now AJ Brown is probably the focal point of the passing game. And Mike and Wendell is kind of the focal or the focal point, but he's the best offense lineman. That's not good because Drake makes not a good place and just lost his best offensive lineman. So, you know, you're not going to play the Celux and Steelers defense every week. Yeah. But the Jaguar's defense is kind of, that is kind of how you play every week. So I kind of think this is like really, whoever the Patriots are this week, I kind of think it's how they're going to be. By the way, the Jags also have 24 interceptions in the last two years tied for first. So there's that. So many more. So many. You know, with so many times more than zero. That's just so much such a bigger number than zero. Zero is like impossible. You know, I tried to trade Bill like an hour ago. He has Colson Loveland. I tried to trade him, Trayvian Henderson for Colson Loveland. He said no. Oh, interesting. Okay. Yeah. Believer. He is Sam Laporta and Loveland. And I was and he is like no, he's no RB three. So I was like, this is perfect. He's got two times. That is actually. Yeah. That is. Which I think is like reasonable offer. Shot it down immediately. I don't know if that says more about Loveland or Trayvian, but or maybe he just doesn't want to fucking trade with you. You ever have that? I don't think so, but maybe. Well, Loveland is one good game. It bounces back. The Titans are at the Giants. Titans are own two. Giants are one and one. My one fact is 68 snaps. That's how many snacks snaps Jackson, dark and like neighbors have together. It's basically two games. Jackson, dark and like neighbors have played two game. I mean, technically three, but like none of them finished any of the games. Yeah. It's a week one. I guess technically they did, but like even that one was like the one game they played together and finished. It was like an absolute miracle in dark gave Malik neighbors the football. And I'm wondering if that will actually just be the only great moment they have together in their careers. It's going to be it's going to be really annoying because as you go as we go along this season and we're sorting all our stat like columns and everything, it's always going to be Jackson, dark right at the top, like success rate, EPA for dropback completion rate. Like it and it's just like Jackson, dark two games. It's like a monument to the fall and yeah, every every stat I was searching for the for the show. I was like, Oh, there's Jackson, dark. That's sad. So dark. He out for the season. He damaged his meniscus as MCL's PCL's ACLs intact, which great. The kick in the nuts was they're like, if the Giants were to play us, maybe we'll be back. I'm like, yeah, sure. A fucking what are you talking about? Can I give you a medical theory that's definitely wrong, but I kind of, but I believe that I know is incorrect, but I believe. Okay, sure. No, I think Jackson Darts season ending injury is Caleb Williams's fault. Okay, because Jackson Darts walked to the locker room. He like, he heard it even more on the walk to the locker room. I think he, I think he did it worse. He also walked back onto the field and was fucking hanging out on the sideline. He was standing and I'm like, I think he walked back there because Caleb Williams got carted off and Darts saw 24 hours of Caleb Williams getting meamed. So he walked and I don't know if it gets worse, but it didn't get better walking to the x-ray room. And then look, walking off the field, they get at you tough. It's the adrenaline. You want to get off. What's your other sideline? I can't believe they let Jackson Darts with a season ending knee injury. MCL, PCL, meniscus, they let the motherfucker walk with cleats on concrete, which is slippery to the x-ray room because Caleb Williams got meamed. I mean, look, yeah, but one, they know he did that to his knee and two. Well, that's why you put them on the cart, Craig. Well, because they don't know. I'm assuming it's, that's all dark. Dart is probably like, I'm fine. It twisted a little bit. It's all right. Sure, I guess I can get tested, but I feel fine. He tried to come back in the damn game. Yeah. And if Caleb Williams had not made fun of Dart would have been like, I'll get the cart. Yeah, but who's got it worse? Would you rather would you rather be meamed for a couple of days or missed the entire season? I actually don't know. Really good question. Anyway, I know that I'm potentially ruined your career or get me, I mean, both of them are potentially ruined careers. Yeah. DK, would you rather, let's just ask you a non-athlete, a podcaster. Sure. Would you rather be meamed into oblivion for a week or like, break your arm? Brick my arm. I think, you know, the rule is like, you never, ever want to be the main character on Twitter. Like, that's the lowest is low. Yeah. For a day, you just don't ever want to be the main character on a given day. You're like, you're like the number one trending on Twitter, for something really stupid. I think I'd rather break my arm. You hurt your career. It's really embarrassing. I'm going arm. Physical pain. Break it, baby. I love you. Just say, I like related pancakes. Anyway, yeah, I could talk about this game just anyway. It's just the first tree, like, who cares? Like, James Winston and the Giants. You can play Malik neighbors, play Scatiboo, play Isaiah, like, late. That's it. I'll tell you. I mean, the one thing, the most embarrassing part of this game is that the Giants are favored by two and a half points. Like, oh, it's first, and also the dark thing is a real like, air out of the balloon for this is Brian Dable versus the Giants. Brian Dable's the offensive coordinator for the Titans. Dable obviously is the reason they got dark. He coached dark, got fired because of how he put dark back in the game. The irony is that now Dard is out for the season with an like, unrelated reason to Brian Dable. But I don't know. I don't even care that we're facing Brian Dable. I feel like this whole season's fucking ruined. So I don't even give a shit. I just can't believe they're favored. The way that the Tony said that. I don't even fucking get the shot. I don't even fucking get that. Honestly, like, maybe that's not professional, I think to say, but like, how much I cared about this game and facing Dable with Dart was playing versus not? Like, I honestly, like, I don't get this season so over. It's like the one that crashes thing. It's like, hi, it's, it's Luke, it's Owen Wilson. Whatever. I mean, don't worry. Love's not real, but that's okay because friendship's not really either. So would you rather than like, James is pretty decent. You guys win six games. Seven games or would you rather win like three? Oh, just give me three. I mean, you still, it doesn't even affect me anymore than three games. I've done that five crack. I've done that four times in eight years. I don't fucking care. It's fine. Andrew Thomas, the left tackles hurt. He might play. Ryan Burns is out. Like, I just, I can't believe how many players got injured. Neighbors is going to play at least. Yeah, sure. Great I almost put him on ice play. Yeah, great. Put him in cry overall. I care. Yeah, he should take a month off Right get healthy. Yeah, why yes, you just take a month off Yeah, just give up They should And don't play the season scatibu wreath his leg Malik neighbors rest his knee Just pay a big fine and quit put up like cry God All right before we get to the late slate, Fandals got your back to start the season giving everyone bet protect plus for free All September long so your bets are covered if your player gets injured So we're gonna each give you our favorite touchdown score of the weekend I wish the Giants had bet protect plus that would be really nice That would've been great My touchdown bet of the week is Jackson Smith and Jigba. It's only even money for Jay's send a score touchdown this week See, I was playing Washington. There are all these memes of like what Last week Mike Sanrestill in coverage for Washington. Just he didn't know what month it was I he didn't know where I don't know what you know what sport he was playing It was probably the worst game he's ever had JSN is going to put Mike Sanrestill in a blender and the fact that It's even money for Jay's send a score. I was kind of shocked and I think it's actually gonna change So that's my Mike Sanrestill I like Mike Sanrestill. Good spot like him at Michigan. He's having a tough goal He's listening right now, and he just threw the meme of the headphones throughout the guy throwing them off Let me tell you something Mike knows. Oh, yeah, who is that that guy's a soccer coach, right? And forget his name Yeah, he's a famous soccer coach. Everyone know what like soccer screaming at me screaming my bad I'm gonna I want to talk about Marino. Jose Marino. I figured it out. Marino Shit. Yeah, so is it Marino? I'm gonna talk about the Lions Jets game. We talked about it earlier. How One we think the Jets could win this game. It's gonna be really high total What was it the Lions have given up the most first downs second most first downs like ever yes for three two weeks 63 first downs in two weeks. I think you know Smith has been playing a lot better than his stats suggest He has he's only throwing one touchdown through two games because honestly, mostly it was either raining or they ran the ball into the Inzone and I think now playing this game in Detroit in the dome high total Geno submit to throw three touchdowns is plus 580. It's basically six to one for Geno to throw three or more touchdowns So I'm going with that I like it. I think it's playing sharp mine is for the Ravens Cowboys game I'm just gonna say Mark Andrews anytime touchdown. I just like I like Andrews in this offense He's been one of one of Lamar's favorite targets in the offense and I think looking at last Caliars He just finds the way to get into the end zone. So I'm going Mark Andrews. That's really big of you to to What wages your own back capital kind of back in on Andrews. Yeah, he did he did Absolutely see a ball brick off his hands in the first game like maybe one of the worst I've ever seen and then you know what he bounce back And he now he's been pretty solid. Okay, I like that. So you have Mark Andrews. I just and Craig who is yours again? Geno Garrett Wilson. Oh Geno himself. Yeah, three touch three passing touchdowns passing touchdowns Yeah, I'm gonna put these all together and I'm gonna Geno having three passing touchdowns So I'm trying to figure out sorry what happens if we all win these bets If Geno has let I'll just gonna put over one and a half touchdowns if we all hit that that would be 10 to one There you go, and then we get just Matt Ryan would be president football. We become president of fandal I think if we did yeah, but formally that's it. They made it they promised us that Check out our bet on the fandal app and remember that fandal has your back all September long with free bet protect plus to cover you against any injuries Imagine setting your makeup then forgetting it's even theirs Meet new grippy setting mist from Mabelie, New York Delta Miss technology locks in your look for up to 24 hours with flexible all-day comfy grip No tightness, no stickiness, no residue. Just plump, dewey hydrated skin that still feels like your skin. Try new grippy setting mist from Mabelie, New York All right, late slate DK Cardinals one and one they were playing the 49ers 2-0 divisional NSE West game Yeah, I'm going with the my one stat for this game is a Brock Pretty stat Brock Pretty's off-target rate through two games is 1.8 percent 1.8 percent by far the best in the NFL this man is surgical through two games. He's been incredible I think I'm finally starting to catch up with everyone else and Just marvel at him week to week and just some of the throws that he's making top 10 There's one clay. He's always how ugly he is because you ranked him as the 30-second hottest quarterback in the NFL I know I know I've come around on it Maybe he's a little cuter than I thought the refs were when they were introducing them to Introducing themselves to him prior to the game last week. There was like a behind-the-scenes thing the refs were like Don't hit that doggie on me. Don't hit that doggie He's one of the only white quarterbacks really going to dance, you know Yeah, yeah, there was one play last week one play last week where I was just like damn this guy is actually really good And he got outside the pocket he pump faked got a guy to jump in the air ran past him and then through a pass as he was Drifting to his left he threw a pass and hit Mike Evans It like only spot that he could have put the football to make that completion Evans almost scored a touch on the play And I was just like this guy is actually ridiculously good This is an important moment because when just respected quarterbacks when you're bitter divisional rivals who hate you It finally a bit. Yeah, that guy is really good. Is it yeah, it actually is the final one. He's been to a Super Bowl Like six years ago. Yeah Look he's on one of my fantasy teams this year. So that's all that really matters He was like very close to winning the Super Bowl. You literally they had the lead in the fourth quarter of a suit They went to overtime of the Super Bowl and they should have gone to another one, but he couldn't play. I don't remember any of that Anyway, pretty playing awesome. He is the Cardinals You know, the Cardinals are plucky, I think and and better than probably I think people think they are But I like the 49ers a lot in this game their offense is just an absolute buzz saw right now even with all the you know injuries They're going through there are two things from this game I really do want to talk about one is Kyle use check the full back for the Niners got fine for chugging a beer as It's so ridiculous. It's touched out this week 15 K 15 thousand dollars at Kyle use check like Kyle use checks Like my name is you use check. Everyone calls me juice. It's a juice. I don't even drink beer Also, I believe but I find 15 K for drinking Like the official beer sponsor of the NFL. Yeah, and it's like all you see here in footballs beer commercials You don't want to drink it or I don't get it. Yeah, you want us to do it or not pick us up a mix signals here NFL, you know I it is like the funniest way you can't show good the celebrations thing I mean chucking his problematic. I don't know someone this week should do like a wine glass and have their pinky up because the whole thing is It's like not classy apparently Like what did you what what is the language? Do you guys have it? Oh, yeah, this is an NFL statement a lot of voice crack Sorry, the NFL statement the NFL said players are expected to conduct conduct themselves in a manner that reflects positively on the game And it's consistent with standards of sportsmanship. Mm-hmm. I I if you do the wine glass pinky in the air That's classy. Yeah, that can notes intellect or if you cheers with someone first maybe that's like showing good camaraderie sure Something like that even though aren't there guys this year I believe who have scored and they do the shotgun thing. Oh, do that. Oh, maybe Well, the well the other celebration was the Bengals won the Jamar chase and they find him for you know Who knows what this could be and he said it's the people's elbow. It's a wrestling move and I Is that what they're talking like it's definitely not that Oh, man, you know, I like that the people's elbow We did recipe club the episode came out a couple weeks ago and we shot gun beers on recipe club I was bummed that didn't get make it to the the breakouts. That wasn't on Instagram In a pod studio, they would have find us the classic move, right? It's not classy. So apparently people's elbow. I guess the rock that is the rocks move I'm looking at people's elbow now all the WWE people screaming the rock does that, but I feel like it's a dick joke It's gotta be a dick joke Also people's elbow is ridiculous. That's a crazy name. I feel like there's a large YouTube compilation of this the fun thing to do I feel like as an NFL athlete is to come up with very like Ambiguous sexual or inappropriate celebrations, but then find an alibi find something that you can claim that it's actually about Find an alibi for your celebration. It's the rock Oh, that's good. Oh my god. Okay, the only other one maybe we'll do this later But like Marvin Harrison Jr.'s career is over and the Cardinal's He's not going he's not gonna leave the league immediately. No, I do think he might get traded T.J. Herschman's odd. I had incredible break down of this and Anyway, I do think Marvin Harrison Jr.'s gonna get you like traded I don't know if this is a big week because they're either gonna force him the ball and try to get Marvin Harrison the football to put this to bed or they're gonna be like, yeah, no, I fucked this guy. He's our fourth The Herschman's out of thing was funny because it was simultaneously like oh, that's it Yeah, that's interesting hearing from a former pro like how to play the game? How to do it? Everything right? But then like his suggestion was hey, man You got to try harder. Yeah, like yeah, no shit Like I hope someone told me that. I get anyone told me that I think that is like, if I had to give him some advice, I would say you should try harder. Well, it was like, yeah, I think so because it kind of did, I feel like it was the simplest answer. Like, why is Marvin Harrison Jr. so bad? Yeah. And the answer is to me, he's only been the best player ever on the field his entire life and he just has reacted very poorly to adversity. Honestly, like he is, he is headily adversity of the situation horribly and he just isn't trying. What happens with a lot of athletes who are naturally gifted and, you know, the higher rungs of the sport that you get to, your physical ability start to even out with everybody else's and then it becomes more of an effort thing. Yeah, focus habits. Yeah. And also, most of these guys who are never used to losing, most of these guys have not lost football games, like even like Mark Sanchez, as well, I guess that's bad now, but like people who became punchlines in the NFL, most of these guys have lost single digit games in their entire life. Many have not lost more than two or three in their entire life. And then you go three and 14. Yeah, that's like the the Kyler Murray thing that you you always talk about. He looks two football games. You have to learn to deal with losing in the NFL. Yeah, that's kind of crazy. Speaking of Kyler Murray, Vikings are at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week. Yeah, Vikings are favorite in this game by a point and a half. My stat is that the Vikings defense is first in pressures, first in sacks and first in QB hits and the Bucks. Baker Mayfield has taken the third most sacks in the league. I'm very nervous for Baker Mayfield in the Bucks. I guess, yeah, the Zag here would be this line is closer than I thought it would be. It seems that Kyler Murray's back and he's going to be playing. Maybe Vegas is worried about Minnesota's offense, but this line is closer than I thought it was going to be. I would have expected that this is a game to avoid for a lot of Bucks players that this is not going to be the game that Baker's going to get back, get back to what we thought he was going to be. The Bucks just led up like a pretty good performance to Dishon Watson. I was much more inclined to focus on Minnesota this week, so I was very surprised by the line being so close. It's just the cards and wins of it all, but I think the Vikings I mean, if the Buccaneers command it, they paid Baker Mayfield this big contract, and then the Bucks start 0 and 3. I mean, Todd Bulls is not going to make it past the season if the Bucks list the playoffs. I don't know if the Bucks would fire Todd Bulls been seasoned, but I think people, it's hard to probably doesn't get properly calibrated how bad the vibe sour when everyone knows the coach that could fire it if he missed the playoffs, so then you start fucking 0 and 3. Why did you say the cars in 1/7 all, isn't Kyler Murray starting? Oh, yeah, sorry. That was literally my transition. Yeah, no, well, sorry. It's Kyler played Kyler like terrible in the first 10s. You threw five passes, but yeah, I agree with it, but the first one was in a reception. True. One of which was a pick, right? Yeah. This will be fast. I do agree, though Craig, this isn't really fascinating. Match up like the Vikings again. Vikings D against the Bucks Offences. It seems like that could go really poorly for the Buccaneers. Yeah, I just I just think this game's going to be ugly. Like I'm not playing. I don't know. Like the Vikings running back to Aaron Jones is banged up. Jordan Mason's out. If you think if when's this playing with the Lingo upper down, it wouldn't get better for Minnesota. Right. I'm not playing Jordan Addison. Like I think the only person you're playing on Minnesota is Justin Jefferson. And I think, I mean, you're in your only probably playing Bucky Irving. I guess a book, but even that. The yeah, no, I agree. I mean, yeah, yeah, I agree. Next game Ravens are at the Dallas Cowboys, both are one and one. This game is in Brazil. Yeah. You talk about the game, but we have to talk about the field. Yeah. So I'll give you my stat. This isn't groundbreaking, but my one stat is the Cowboys defense is dead last and success rate. And success rate again is just yards of context. It's like third and one two yards is good and third and 10 two yards is bad. And by yards of context, the Cowboys are the worst defense in the NFL. So in one way, this game is very simple to me. Jared Jones traded my comparisons and was like, we're going to be about run defense now. It's like Don Draper, like run defense. And not going so well. And then the like the cow, you know, now the Ravens are coming off again. They lost because they gave Derek Henry the ball five times with the lead in the second half. And so the Ravens are coming in. They're going to want to run. And the Cowboys can't stop the run. And everyone knows what they're going to do. And I think the Ravens are going to be able to do it anyway. And the Cowboys defense has been bad. But what's incredible is that they're last and success rate. Even though they got they've played four halves. And one of them was against Marcus Marriota. And they're still terrible. When Jane Daniels is playing, they got inside the 10 yard line. The three drives in a row. So I think the Ravens are kind of going to run all over them. I don't think the Cowboys defense can stop them. But the field might be able to stop Baltimore, which is kind of why I don't want to I don't want to touch this game for Ring or one of seven or anything. But this the field is the wild card here. It's just like a variable that we don't know what to to do with really. But I like that. That's a great point. Hi, Fitz is like everyone's just all over the Ravens this week for not using Derek Henry enough. This is going to be all Henry in this game. They're going to smash mouth. It might get 30 carries. Can I read you some of this quotes that the some of the soccer players who play in this Brazilian field say? Sure. So this field this game is that I'm going to put you all the pronunciations of everyone's name and everything involved. But the field is at the the Maricana, which is like definitely not saying soccer stadium. Yes. So the this is from the goalkeeper Augustine Rossi Rossi of Flamenco, which is a soccer team there. Quote, you don't even need to talk about the field. It's there for everyone to see the way we play it's unbelievable that we're playing on a field like this. Both penalty areas are as bad as shit. If you look at it, there are bumps everywhere. There's still going to be an NFL game here during the International Break after that game. I hope the field's in better shape. And then another old school football right here. Another player said it's getting harder and harder to control the ball. And if we want to be championed through to find a solution because we can't be playing on a field like this. So the NFL has this giant sewing machine machine like this giant sewing machine thing they do. And I think it's the funniest thing in the world because it's this giant industrial thing sewing grass. And then the guys following it have the tiniest scissors in the entire world I've ever seen. They're sewing the grass. They're like, it's like hairplugs. I don't know. There's like this giant machine and it just shoves grass. It's a new turkey. Yeah, it's like turkey. They're doing the turkey plane trip for the stadium shoving grass and like hairplugs. And then these guys are following it with I swear to God, like they're the smallest scissors I've ever seen in my life clipping blades. Like the little scissors that come out of like a like a Swiss Army knife. Yes, I swear to God. I gotta get the they gotta get the big long cleats, right? Like, isn't it? Doesn't this always happen every game that they do internationally where like the guys all come out in the regular cleats and then everyone switches that like after the first quarter and then it's fine. They all left Thursday. They're all bringing they're bringing cleats that you know, the spikes have different lengths to bring in that. I you know, they have a the problem though really is that Rio de Janeiro Rio has the rainiest September since they started tracking it. Rio is surrounded by a rain forest. Do you know how much rain they get and it's the rainiest one. It has basically it basically didn't stop raining in Rio from September 1st to September 20th because this is the first game here. They've we then it feels been in Brazil before, but that was in São Paulo, right? Not here. Yeah. Yeah. It's gonna be interesting. And that other it's gonna be a slog probably. The Brazil game two years ago, I think it was Eagles Packers. That's where Jordan Love got hurt. Yes. And that was where the clap field was coming. Yes. So the guy who was in both games is Kenny Clark because he was the defense attack on the Packers and he's on Dallas now. Can you clear a call the field in that game mushy? Good term. But yeah, so I kind of think the Ravens will run all over, but the Cowboys, but I don't want to bet on it because who knows? Right. Yeah. We have sources on the ground. It's useful. It's useful that the the it's just like not really a home game for the Cowboys. You know, correct. Yeah. It's like that's an interesting dynamic here. Correct. No, yeah. They're in Brazil. It's in a whole different country, you guys. Technically, it isn't America. It's in South America. What's that? Oh, they're America's team. Oh, okay. Wow. You landed that play. I'm really, I'm really, I'm really pushing through with this, guys. Good for you. Yeah. Yeah. You saved that. All right. Raiders are at the Saints. The Raiders are at the Saints. My one stat. You may not know this. You might already know this time of shock is leading the NFL and passing yards through two weeks, which is great. 332 per game. I love shock. His his I looked up his first half set slash second half splits and they're hilarious. In the first half, 59% completions, 93 yards and zero touchdowns and a 3.8 adjusted yards per attempt. 3.8 adjusted yards per attempt is horrific. In the second half of two games so far, 75% completions, 237 yards, 9.6 yards per attempt. 119 pass or 80. He is incredible in the second half against five full touchdowns, but he's actually good. It's the heroics just really show up as the game goes along. I want to see him play four quarters of good football. Weirdly, and I'm not just like listening to Austin, the Raiders defense has been pretty good through two weeks. Their pressure rate is 47%, which is second only to the Vikings. Crosby is looking incredible. It's funny that they like had to keep him, but now he's been like amazing for them. They're tied for the Lehigh with eight sacks. They're third and quarterback hits. First in success, success rate on defense. And they rank eighth in defensive dvaway. Obviously, you know, the the competition is a factor here, and I want to see them play some good teams, but overall, pretty surprising job by the Raider's defense. It also looks like Brock Bowers is going to be back in this game. Yep. He was limited today, trending, I think, trending towards playing. So that's great. These are two teams that it's that I think whoever wins this game will be a this team is for real. If the Raiders go three now, I think people will start to think about them differently, and they give the Saints can get another good win. People will start to take them seriously. One in a football, Rams are at the Broncos to both one and one. My one fact is Aaron Donald played 32 snaps and got double team seven times, and I just I feel like everyone's like, yeah, I'll be in a snap, count all this stuff. His first game back, he played half the snaps, and I don't I people like, yeah, who rotated it? I'm like, half the snaps in week one, after you unretired two weeks ago, feels like more than just rotating in. I thought Aaron Donald was incredibly impactful. I thought his return got over shadow by Jackson start getting hurt, and I it's one thing to do it against the Giants also Aaron Donald made the biggest play of the game, which the third and two where the Jerry stuff, Nudge Harris, and then the Giants couldn't even go for a fourth down, like that went that that like ended the game basically, and then the Rams ran up the score. But it's the Broncos have a great offensive line. They have one of the best interior offensive lines. It's the strength of their team. A lot of people think they have the best offensive line period. If Aaron Donald is like, we will Sunday night football, and I think that matters because if last week's game was Sunday at football, Chris Collinsworth would have like, game in his pants, talking about Aaron Donald. And I think Chris Collinsworth going to do that, like he's got Aaron Donald, Mike, like, I can't do it. He's like, Mike 35 is the new 25, Mike. He's just going to, he's going to talk about he won defensive player the year after missing week one, like five years. I'm just saying Aaron Donald being back, it's Chris, you just prepare, Craig, have you ever done a Chris Collinsworth orgasm? Have you ever liked, can you do that? Have I ever done one? No. I've been saving it for the right moment. Okay. It's going to be this week. It happens this week. Yeah. That we need Aaron Donald to almost sack Patrick Mahomes and then Mahomes escapes. And I think that'll be like the big Chris Collinsworth moment. I've heard a Chris Collinsworth orgasm before during the second Beastquake with Marshawn Lynch. Midway through the run. He's like, Oh, you can just like hear him because he's like, Marshawn, like, had broken like five tackles by the point he gets into like open field and you can just hear Collins worth go, Oh, that was when he had out, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's the best. So good. Pukka Nikkou is probably not going to play this game. Sean McVeigh, what are the radios? You did not make a great progress. Yeah. He's like, almost jarring to her coach. Just say that. Do you think he's very, he's very forthcoming, I feel like Sean McVeigh is. McVeigh really has like, like Danny Glover in Lisa Weapon Energy, where like, he's just like, I'm too old for this shit. Too old for this. Which is ironic because he's 40 totally like, he has such grizzled like old vet energy sometime. Despite the fact that he's still one of the younger coaches in the NFL. McVeigh is in this really weird spot where he's coming up on being with the like if Andy Reed retires. McVeigh, I forget. McVeigh might be the longest tenured coach in the NFL with the same team. I think that might be right because Thomas and Harball left. And so if Andy Reed's gone, maybe I'm forgetting someone, but I'm like, there's a world where he's like, ends up being the seventh youngest coach in the NFL, but also the longest tenured with his team. Which is kind of insane to think about. Maybe I'm forgetting someone. By the way, hi, if it's Danny Glover was 40 years old when he delivered the line. I'm getting too old for this shit. It leave a weapon. Yeah. Five years old. Oh my God. I would say he was communicating 50 plus in that movie. That's what you think everyone in the 80s was like way older looking. I feel like, oh my God, I mean, you see you see the starting lineups are like high school football teams. And these guys look like they're 35 with a mortgage. That is, you know, it's going to be kind of a bummer situation for the Rams Broncos game is like everyone, including myself, who's excited about Devonte Adams of Puka out again, Sir Tans going to be on Devonte and I just feel like it's probably not going to be the same thing that happens against the judge. I would add Terrance Ferguson. If Terrance Ferguson's not added, I think Terrance Ferguson's going to be the number two receiver on the Rams basically every week that Puka's out. And I agree. Because again, Alex Singleton, Broncos fans got it. I don't think Broncos fans love Alex Singleton, which is a whole thing, but I think Terrance Ferguson could put him in a blender. And also all through Broncos running backs are on the entry report. I know he said ad genocominate. He's brain is ankle during that game. So I kind of don't want to deal with the Broncos backfield, RJ Harvey, Jacob Dobbins having hamstring injuries and then Jonah Colman's got an end screen. Welcome back to hell. And then the Broncos are a son out of football. So if anything changes, you can't make an ad. You can't really change anything. It's just kind of a nightmare. So like two days after we get done doing our waiver show and talking about Jonah Colman as our top running back thing, he was hurt and not practicing and RJ Harvey and Jacob Dobbins were. I always stay away from that. Love it. Monday at football, Eagles are at the Bears, Eagles are two and O Bears and one and one mentioned this at the jump. But yes. So the Bears will see Tyson Bajin, case key in him. It's a backup quarterback. Case key in him. He really used like a coach. Like he's a coach being employed to be the number three quarterback. But he might as well be a mole. And he's there to teach the quarterbacks out of play football. And in case get him having to play, would be like a disaster for the for the Bears. What if he just plays really well? Well, I feel like Luther Burton with case key in him. I kill and I were talking about this feed feed your weapons. Yeah. Case key. It was not going over the arm strength. All the case get him's got is knowing the offense, getting the ball out quickly. The Bears offense is going to be get the ball to Luther Burton and guys who do have to have to frame in. Yeah. They can be frame in the day. My stat for this game is that the Eagles last year, they ranked 30th in average third down distance, like like worst, 7.5 yards for every third down on average. This year, it's 7.9 yards. So they're going in the wrong direction. It's getting further and further away that first down marker. I don't know if this is what ended the Tush push is that Eagles can't even get the third in one. Right. That's the problem. I think they didn't need to get their run game rolling. They're 25th in yards before contact per rush this year. Their offensive line has some injuries. They lost Stowell and their brilliant offensive line coach. So I do think, you know, as much as it was exciting come back last week, that was against a pretty bad Titans team, I think. And we need to see the Eagles offense kick things up into into gear again, I think still. So I'm going to be watching that against this bear scene that has given up a ton of points. So Sequon, it looks like he's going to play. He had a stinger, left the game, came back, then he got an MRI. We didn't hear anything yesterday. Ceriani was KG earlier on Thursday and then later on Thursday, Sequon said the MRI went well. He's he practiced or he suited up for practice and he expects to play Monday. I think this is Sequon's best chance to have 100 rushing yards for like a month. Great. So I would play Sequon. Also, he's a bilo, I think Sequon will be fine. Yeah. I hope he wears the cowboy collar, which apparently, I was like, you can't move in that thing. Like, there's no way I'm running back should have that. But I thought that was cool to see him look like Mike, I'll stop for a second. All right. Ringer 107. Today's ringer 107 is brought to you by Fandall. Craig, do you want to tell the people our picks? Yes. After some careful deliberation, we have landed on. We decided to make five picks this week, not four, because we forgot to deal with it. When we were giving them a handicap, it was, we made, did we only get four picks in maybe, but the line was, ringer fantasy show giving one. That's right. We were favored by one. So we just gave the point. And we went three and one. Did anyone else, did anyone win four picks last week? I don't think so. We are still, even with one less pick, we still tied with the most. We covered the spread. Okay. This week we're going with Cincinnati minus three and a half against the Steelers. I feel good about that. We're going with the Jags minus two and a half versus the Patriots. Very nervous about the Patriots. We're taking Seattle minus seven and a half versus the commanders. We're taking the Chiefs minus ten and a half versus Miami. I feel like they can win by 30. And then the T's. The T's I concocted. I cooked up. Picked two guys you were in. The Raiders in New Orleans, the Raiders are right now three point underdogs. We're going to give them nine points. Now they're going to be nine point underdogs. I like to just keep it within nine points. And then we're going to take the total down to 37 and a half and take the over. So it'll be Raiders plus nine and over 37 and a half. You guys overruled me. I wanted to take the ringer fantasy show. We'll submit over four and a half picks this week. I don't know about that. I kind of blame high fits because it has to be, they have to be submitted by 11 Eastern. So like you're eight AM Pacific on a Sunday morning. Come on. That it was all of our faults, but it was, it was mostly my, it was, so I was camping. So I didn't even have my phone. It in range of anything. So because DK was literally unreachable and it's my, it was my fault. I woke up at probably around eight o'clock and I remember frantically slacking Michael to be like, Hey, can we have this game? And he ghosted me. So I mean, it's all the rules, Mikey, yeah, now he's, you know, it's all right. Everyone's just upset with us. You know, it's okay. He could have said, sorry, man, Mr. Cutoff, nothing. He left me on red. He meeples. You know, he's, he's with South, you know, he's, it's going to be South's guy. He's, you know, he's the ring. It's the sound. Today's river one of seven was brought to by Fandall odds subject to change. The only thing I wanted to hate you guys with before we left is we asked about job titles, Matt Ryan, director of football, we got the guy who was the president of football and then someone sent us a guy who was president of ice cream. Roger Sherman, our former colleague, Roger Sherman texted me about job titles. Oh yeah. What's up, Rod? I'm going to, he'll find the funniest shit in the world. I'm going to send this to you guys, it's here, this right here, you can look at it. So he's so Stanford has some anonymous donor at Stanford endowed, like, you know what, you can have an endowed chair, like you're the professor blah, blah, blah, donor name of Matt's. He's gone and out. Okay. Some anonymous donor endowed, um, the offensive coordinator position at Stanford and they named it in honor of Andrew Luck. So the, the Stanford offensive coordinator job is called the Andrew Luck director of offense. What? The name of the offensive coordinator Stanford, he endowed so they, their salary is paid by the endowment. I think, but Andrew Luck did do it. Some other Stanford alum did it and then named it for Andrew Luck. What? So it's the Andrew Luck director of offense is the literal title. But then years later, Stanford hired Andrew Luck to be the channel manager. So then if you go to this thing, I said, you Roger something and Stanford's football coachings page now looks like this and it's Andrew Luck General Manager and then underneath it, it says Terry Hefford and Andrew Luck direct your of offense. Andrew Luck is hilarious. Their page. People that don't know the story are like this Andrew Luck guy. He's a megal man. He's a megal man. It's insane trying to name everything like someone someone else I know. Oh, the edge of luck. I would be like director of luck or something which I would have loved. Oh my god. I just so funny. Uh, okay. Thank you, DK. Thank you, Craig. Thank you to kill. Thank you, Austin. Thank you, Cam. Thank you, Evan for listening. Emails fantasy courts for power hour. Just whatever you're arguing about in the good chapel, settle it. Uh, emails trivia questions for trivia. Thank you, Lord. Lord, 80s month. We got one week left. I'm concocting the playlist. DK, I believe you know, I got a good one today, you guys. Okay. One of my favorite 80s bands of all time foreigner. Oh, the song. The song. Well, you could choose from a number of songs. They got cold as ice. They got. Uh, I want to know what love is. I'm going with jukebox hero. Jukebox hero, hero stars and he's a man. That is an 80s. It's an epic ass song. I love that 80s songs. I mean, I'm sure they do this now still, but like they tell you a story. Like it's like it's like it's you're going on an actual journey with these people. Um, anyways, it's a jukebox here. Jukebox hero, great song that foreigner has some massive, massive hits. You guys, you know, even just jukebox. It's like jukebox just being in the title. Yeah, right. What is the story in that song? I feel like I just kind of it's telling the story of this guy, the jukebox hero. I don't know. I don't know exactly plot yet. Um, but it just takes you along his hero's journey. It was the song that was inspired by an actual fan who stood waiting outside an arena for about five hours in the rain. Impressed by his dedication, uh, Mick Jones decided to take him in and give him a glimpse of what happens backstage at a concert. Wow. He's got stars in his eyes. You want to know my favorite foreigner song, DK? Hmm. Feels like the first time. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. Wow. They have more songs that I realized. The first time. Wow. They've got, they have a lot of good. Dude, yeah. Cold as ice. Cold as ice. Right. Banger. You're as cold as ice. It's a really dramatic. Yeah. That one. I always feel like they're in my life. Weaned in my head. Yes, I was going to say I always thought those are Freddie Mercury song. Yeah. Yeah. I guess he kind of sounds just like him in the beginning. Yeah. Foreigner. They're British. They're a British American band, I should say. Okay. Americans. America's team. They're performing in Brazil this week. That's technically a home game for them. Cotton.
