You can't handle the heat. It looks like we're finally.
Sis boys, you're right all. Right, we got Ben Gretch.
We got Pat Kerrain, who's eating his first meal of the day.
I actually ate my first meal of the day Too Pat about an hour
and 15 minutes ago. Sorry to flex on your your
intermittent fasting, but I was so swamped today.
Didn't get a chance to eat. Gretch, are you feeling better?
You're a little because you have three.
That's three hours now and then. I know.
Not good, Gretch. If you had your chicken noodle
soup you feeling up for? Yeah, I mean, I've not eaten a
lot today, but when you're sick, you kind of just eat whatever
food sounds good and you get food in your stomach, right?
That's the I don't know I can't flex with you guys but you guys
are you guys are killing it Yeah good morning to Pat is what we
actually meant to say Pat's that's have it as steak and eggs
here on the on the. West Coast Sing a chicken
sandwich. It doesn't feel like I'm
killing. This beer is good.
So all right, guys, Commanders. Bears.
I gotta say about this, is it gonna be a good game?
No, I'm just wondering, cuz is this gonna be a classic Thursday
night shit show or could this be a surprise?
I think. It's gonna be.
Surprised. Yeah, everyone's like
complaining about this all day on Twitter and like, what is
there to complain about with Sam Howell and Justin Fields?
Like, this is going to be chaos on both.
This is like Ryan Fitzpatrick on both sides of the field.
Why would that be bad? Like, that's amazing.
God. Why, Why haven't we cloned Ryan
Fitzpatrick? Yeah, couple things.
So Don roasting me for? Starting intermittent fasting
when I came out to California. I've been intermittent fasting
for years and honestly, it's essentially just
disorganization. It's I get so busy.
I don't eat. It's not like I'm pushing a
lifestyle on anyone. I'm just, I'm just running
around like I gotta eat food. Well, so us having to all watch
you eat, it does feel like you're pushing your lifestyle.
Well, that's fair. That's fair.
I might it's. Awful.
Let's play deep shot. I mean, so I'm saying we got
chaos. Oh no, I'm not live if you just
saw a deep shot. I got to get my.
Food live. Yeah, that's what I saw too it.
Was a near near? Nothing, this is more important
for the show. We should I feel good about our

of producing lift on me this early in the show.
I got to get the pick him form up to.

but it just look. I mean, we.
Don't want people watching. Not, not, you know, I didn't
know. I need to fill out the form.
You'll be eligible for the giveaway.
And then I think, I, I don't know.
I have a good feeling we got to win for this to be given out
this week, but because we haven't won so far.
The The giveaways Up to 400 bucks.
Yeah, if you guys don't know how we've been doing this.
So each week our friends at Underdog, they're like here, it
will give you $100 to give away but you got to hit your core
pick on. Oops.
This is our this is our extended one here already off to a rough
start. What happened?
How am I not live? I'm normally. 75 yards.
More Dude, stop watching the Spanish cast, dude, what is
going on? I'm normally the one that's
spoiling this for all of you guys.
That was a 60 yard play, 60 something yard play.
Yeah, I'm caught up. Except you get to be called.
Hosted that DB man. What?
Yeah this is going to go over. I would live bet the over right
now. I feel like this is going to be
a crazy gig. I love being aggressive.
Maybe not. Maybe not financial advice.
But the bears are, obviously. Not thrilled about how they blew
last week in our on are defeated.
I don't know. How do you say that unwinding
they haven't won? We're struggling.
We're all. Struggling.
That's the word. Now what's?
That's a good time to ask what's everyone's drinking status, I
guess. Grutch.
You're sober, I assume? Yeah, no, I'm.
I'm pounding. The Gretch drank for two weeks
in a row last week. And yeah, I'm good.
I'm good this week. I'm back on my tequila.
My tequila sipper here. What about you, Pat?
I got the beer going. This is very interesting that
every week he is just moderation.
He just has a drink like a human and then me and Gretch are just
alternating weeks. It's really what's happened.
Well, I've actually like, had to think through my strap for this,
right? Because I was like, I can't go
too hard. I don't want to just be, you
know, doing nothing here. But also, I'm like, if I have
like 3 beers right at the top and then stop, I'm going to get
super tired. So sipping the tequila has been
kind of the play for me. Here for the audio listeners,
our core entry tonight we have Sam Howell higher than 9 passing
1st downs. I'll let Pat talk about those.
First downs are in Gretch here in a second Jahan Dotson 42 1/2
rush or receiving yards higher there and then coal commit
higher than three receptions. Which one of you flagged the the
passing 1st downs that? Was me, but since I'm eating a
sandwich. I'll let Gretch talk about why
he liked the rushing prop for for Hal.
And then I came and shot that down and pitched first down.
Yeah, no. So how's rushing prop was like
or it was like 13 yards, right? And T let me go find what I
wrote about it. His totals working backwards
were 40 rushing yards last week 1813 and 11.
So basically he he has tied that 13 number once went under it in
week one by two yards, went over it the other two weeks.
I also feel like you know he holds the ball a lot.
We know that he takes a lot of sacks but the Bears have a week
pass rush so I kind of wrote that his pass rush, the pass
rush hold more TD. He is already more drive.
Wow. Yeah, he is smashing.
That's great. That the Bears week pass rush
would help him turn some of the sacks into scrambles when he
holds the ball too long. There's kind of two ways to read
that. And Pat, you said the other way
when you were talking about not wanting to necessarily play as
rushing, but like the week pass rush would allow him to kind of
deliver the ball downfield. I do still think he we just got
a penis on the telestrator. But anyway, I do still think
that he throws. The ball.
I do still think that there's going to be some place where he
doesn't make the rings down the field and then just scrambles.
I just think the sacks go away and there's still some
scrambles. Yes, and someone was asking in
the chat and we I was talking about this with Gretch earlier
to the Jahan Dots and the receiving line in the rush
receiving line were the exact same.
I got very excited. I was like, dude, they're going
to let us free roll these rushing yards.
And then, Ben, you made a very astute point.
Yeah, some of these receivers, I've noticed this a couple
times. So I was wondering why they do
it. Some of these are receivers that
only are going to get like 0 or one rushes.
Sometimes they get one carry for like -4 yards.
I think Rashid Rice did it the other week.
And so you get the, you get an element where like I think
you're still free rolling it. I think you're still like at
least twice as likely to get positive rush yards if there's a
carry. Some of these receivers on the
end of rounds will end up just losing yards on their one rush,
and it'll actually be a negative.
So I think that's part of why they do the same number, yeah.
And then the. Higher it is, the more likely
you want to take on the risk, I would guess, right like that.
Might that makes it was only. 13 receiving yards or something.
Why would even bother with the rush, yeah?
That makes sense. But the reason we got on the
first downs, you're right, like I was kind of thinking about the
other way where there's no pass rush.
He, you know, there's less like pressure for him to kind of
scoot out and start running and everything.
But also like Powell is not super, super high in allowed
pressure. If you look at like, PFF, they
show which quarterbacks are allowing pressure at a high
rate. That's not really his problem
because it is a problem, but it's not a massive, massive
problem. The problem is that when he gets
pressured, he takes sacks. Like way higher than anyone
else. So if there's no pressure and
there won't be no pressure, but if there's lower pressure, I
think that creates a really good environment for how to just kind
of operate and do what he wants to do.
And so I think like this is, I think the commanders are going
to have some success here. I love that the Bears just
scored a touchdown because of one of the only concerns I had
about this was that maybe they run it through.
Brian Robinson can run on the Bears very easily.
But Eric, the enemy's been passing a lot, and I was kind of
trusting that they would do that.
And so it's just a bet that, like, the commanders have a
functional offense that's running through Howell and he's
able to deliver against the Bears defense.
They can't get to him all. Right.
You sound like Fantasy Analyst. I'm buying what you're selling,
man. I'm buying love.
It Pete, we got a super chat already.
That said, shout out to your stamina.
What's your schedule been like today?
No. I think he's referencing that I
said I hadn't hadn't eaten all day.
Unless unless he got access to something else that I don't know
about that would put it past Tyler.
Yeah, yeah. So then we we did do here, let
me do the form that Pat mentioned.
And let me preface this again because there are already a
bunch of people who filled out this form twice.
Let me make this clear. If you've already filled out the
form that we're about to drop in there, you don't need to fill it
out. We already have 222 some
responses in here, but this is basically how we are going to
determine the winner of this giveaway when we hit our foreign
in pick up. Not if when we're going to get
$400.00 and we're going to draw it from this list.
So I'm going to share this here. You got to be an underdog user
and you just need to give us your YouTube username and your
underdog username in this form. If you've already filled it out,
I am begging you not to fill it out again.
Absolutely begging. Yes, did you guys, did you guys
see all the the stuff this week about the team in first place?
Walrus balls. That was.
I saw that video. It was so funny.
Yeah, I loved. It made that you were right.
Pete, right. I was like, I worry about this
all the time. Yeah, yeah, you're this.
This stuff was great. Yeah, I saw it loosely.
I've been sick and I've been kind of in and out a little.
But I loved the video that Lou. Lou, right.
Yeah, those guys that was. And then he also from the
Deposit Kingdom who did the Chasing Waterfalls parody.
And then right when he hits it, there's a picture of a a walrus
ball. Like, I don't know what a walrus
ball is, but once I saw it, I was like, that's a walrus ball.
Yeah, And then I was singing that.
For the entire evening, I had that stuck in my head.
No, that's Logan Thomas. Who are you, Fist pumping Pat?
For passing 1st down, I thought you were talking about.
Cool comments catches. Like what?
That's a lot of time. Got passing 1st down here guys.
I didn't know if you were like victory lapping some you know,
like Oh yeah, for what week? I didn't get it.
Thomas, is an AT thread tied in you?
Get it? Oh my God, Logan.
You're blowing it, and it does have to be passing 1st down, so
no tushy pushing first down. No tushy pushing.
Yeah, I don't think we were gonna get this one.
Geezy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. I don't know what happened
there. All I see is getting, oh, that
was Brian Robinson. Logan couldn't have extended
that an inch. Come on, Logan.
Cole Turner, We got a punt. No, this is great.
This is the script. This is the script we want.
We want the Bears to get out in front.
And then same hell thrown all day.
Wow. He just got right through the
interior of the line. That seems like probably not a
good news. Throwing the towel on the Dotson
dream pretty quickly here. There's a lot of.
I love how quickly everyone overreacts this stuff.
It's fantastic. Speaking of that, Gretch, what
was it? I I I checked in on your
mentions for 1/2 SEC on your Kyle Pitts tweet.
I mean, that thing went nuclear. I know.
No, that was great because so I I.
I set up the thing where you can get paid by Twitter like I do.
I I subscribe to Twitter. And then I set up the thing
where you can get paid literally like the day before.
After I did it, I'd say a Pacheco tweet that went nuclear.
And so then I just threw that out there and was like, alright,
well, I'll make some money by tweeting about cow pits.
Like I literally just tweeted it.
Did you? What do you make like $3?
I don't know, No. I haven't seen anything yet.
I don't know if I'm supposed to do something else, but it does
say that I'm eligible. So here's the tweet for the
audio listeners. Kyle Pitts is younger than
Dalton Kincaid and Luke Musgrave, who combined for fewer
yards in college two years ago than the 1000 plus yards pits
put up in the NFL. Don't lose the plot, 86 replies
here. I spent a long time on the don't
lose the plot thing. I was like, what do I write
here? I almost said something about
we're losing recipes or? You know, I mean, the point was
that, like cow pits. Who's the plot?
It's about a recipe. Yes, Kiss.
I mean, chef's. It's great.
It's perfect. It makes you makes.
Me a little. Like it's such like it's such
like a murder. Like, it made me like, I'm with
you, but I'm like, don't tell me stuff.
Probably what I know. It's it's so good for
engagement. It's like truly the perfect
thing. Did you mute, Did you mute the
thread after that? I didn't mute this one.
I do often mute them. Yeah.
When they go like this this that most of the comments were good.
I don't know. I mean it was yeah, it was it
was pretty funny. I got a lot that were like, do
we, do we start him and? That was good.
Yeah, you know it's a good tweet.
When people are getting 100 plus likes replying to a reply to
your tweet, that's how you don't.
Have a start down. That's good.
So these are other pick ups. So we had the core here.
Sam Howe higher than 9 passing 1st downs.
Jahan Dotson higher than 42 1/2 rush receiving yards.
Kolkamet higher than three receptions.
We did do one here that was Antonio Gibson.
Lower than 18 1/2 rushing yards. He's only cleared this number
once this year. Last week against the Eagles or
against the Eagles and then Brian Robinson higher than 65
1/2 rushing yards. And then we did a very similar
thing here, Brian Robinson 65 1/2 rushing yards on the other
Alt one, but then swapped out the Antonio Gibson lower with
the TJ Edwards. We no ball tackling Brian
Robinson during all of those carries over or higher than 9
tackles in assists. And boy, did we get some St.
St. cred for going back to the IDP well.
That's right. And then I mean look, you go
look at TJ Edwards numbers and you know.
He's hit nine or more in every game and that's four games and
that's the extent of the analysis.
Well, it's not, it's not the true extended analysis because
we did also take. Brian Robinson over and Brian
Robinson, I love this point. Crutch, you're like, you know,
he's not breaking long runs. It's just chugging along.
You're probably getting tackled by a linebacker a lot.
So that correlates, genuinely correlates like a linebacker is
going to make that tackle like a large percentage of the time.
Seems like so. It's perfect.
If he's getting the 65 rush yards TJ Edwards is getting
there. That's that is a correlation.
I just looked up to see TJ Edwards had one tackle, 1 tackle
baby. What number is he?
This will help my spice here. D.
J Moore wide open twice already. He is.
He's 50. That's a good linebacker number,
too. I'm into that.
I can root for 53. Nick says in the chat 4 for four
was all over it. I know Ryan Noonan over there
does tackle stuff over there. I do have to confirm I didn't
look at his stuff. But I feel great that the the
the new process or I tried to try to look up tackles actually
work that I got on the same thing that Noonan was on.
That's about it. Did you guys see?
We accidentally no ball. Accidentally no ball.
Exactly. Did you guys see the discord?
Our guy DFS Texas posted a screenshot of our pick 'em
entry. Screenshot circulating in the
ETR discord and some of the conversation around it.
No, no, no. It's really funny.
So it posted it says I like the top two Comet at three is OK I
guess and then someone goes, who is that from Ship it Nation.
Yeah ship it nation. Give it out the shippers.
That's fantastic. Oh man.
Come out over three, I think it's it's not sexy.
But the reason for that was I was looking at the target rates
for Comet and DJ Moore and they're like very similar.
So that's what they have, the same amount of targets on the
season before that drive. Yeah, so it's it's just a bet
on. You know, on on the target
rates, yeah, he comet's been playing really well.
Yeah, yes, I wish we'd gone because I said, you know, DJ
Moore does have much higher a dot, so his.
His like upsides higher and that that would have already hit.
But it would have been just such a they're really, we would have
been so insufferable for the rest of, you know, they really
got to make us work for it. It's a good point.
They are really going to get there with DJ tonight.
Do they get this sneaker? Are they ooh one One officials
got it. The top officials got it.
Short bottom Official wins out and calls it a I'm not
convinced. He got it.
I'm not either prop official. Definitely had him short and he
looked up his buddy and he was like, all right, fine, you can
have this. Oh yeah, they got him pushed.
Yeah, that was a well executed push, push there.
They kept pushing him. I like how he looked at his
buddy and said yeah, you can have this one, but it's probably
not. That far off from what the way
this stuff actually works. Yeah.
Oh, Oh yeah. You got this.
I'm gonna go back over here. Is this where we do a rant about
how do they not have a chip in the ball at this point?
I feel like that's what you're always supposed to say when
there's ambiguity to a shorter. Situation I think they should
have a chip. I I think they should have a
chip in the ball except for Thursday Night Football and they
just went, they winging on Thursday nights.
Robert Tridon already has two catches.
What's going on? You're randomly actor at Ellis.
Directionally actor. You know what favorite they go
out the chip with the ball. Thing is, is if you stop and
think about it for like 2 seconds, it makes absolutely no
sense because it's not just where the ball is.
You have to know the moment at which obviously a body part
touches the ground. It's not like the ball goes to
the turf or something. And we could be like, Oh yeah,
activate the chip. At this moment, it's Where was
the ball when the knee was down right?
Why don't I just put chips in the knee pads then?
But then you need him in the elbows and the shoulders and the
helmet and the butt and everything.
He's loose. I had a chip put in me yesterday
during that emergency broadcasting man.
Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
That's real shame. They did that to everyone.
Yeah, yeah, you know what they should do?
See, this is what it should be. They should do like those old
Fox style hockey broadcast where you had like the glow around the
puck. That's what they need it.
And then you can watch the TV back and freeze and see where
was the most forward part of the ball thanks to the glow, the
glow trail. Tired chips in the ball wired a
glow trail. Well, the bears I rewound to
look at this. Run this.
This is a nice run. Here it was dude the the Rochon,
like Snap Rates and stuff is crazy.
It's gone down basically every single week.
Well, I wrote. It's good.
Like I I get. I get where they want to plan.
Yeah, but it's just weird that it started the other way.
For sure. There's Comet.
We got one. Let's go.
Did he fumble that? I don't.
I mean, that'd be great. We gotta keep them in passing
scenarios. The week one he played, they got
blown out and and most of that was garbage time.
I wrote about that in Signals. But he played when?
When? Because Foreman was still active
in week one. But he looked really good.
But he played the vast majority of.
The late part of that game and then he's been playing a lot of
negative scripts. And then last week they were
mostly in pretty heavy positive script.
So my read wasn't that like Rochon's lost work?
I think from week 1 to week two. Like I remember after Week 2 and
signals, I wrote that it was a positive that Rochon, in a
little bit more normal script maintained his snap share.
Essentially like didn't. Lose a ton because he had mostly
played. There's come out again.
We got two right there in a row. There's two.
Let's go. He mostly played in week one, in
garbage time. Week two actually.
They deactivated format and played in a little bit more
normal parts of the game, which was nice.
And even though his, you know, snap break came down a little
bit, it was a little bit of more of a real, like signal workload.
Week 3, a little bit of the same, but they were way behind
the Chiefs and then last week they were ahead and I think we
learned that in positive game script that they just are gonna
strongly prefer Herbert. Yeah.
Anyway, that's been my reason on this progression, yeah.
That makes sense. And the kicking field goal, 4th
and one that's such a cowardly move There, it's.
So cowardly. It's beautiful.
Gotta love how cowardly that is. We wanna keep this close.
Where were you guys? Speaking of cowardly moves,
where were you guys on the Commanders?
Not trying to win the game, going for two last week.
I thought that was super cowardly.
That was incredibly cowardly. We yeah, against the Eagles,
like, I get it. If you're playing the Broncos or
something then you just want like yeah, we'll we'll we'll go
toe to toe with you with another possession or drive, but come
on. Well, they were so lucky to be
in that position anyway, right? Like they kind of had the the
last minute drive sort of thing and.
Like just just just put the dagger and end it.
Yeah. I mean, the announcers are like
the casuals, the announcer ball or I was saying if you're an
underdog and if you're on the road, that's when you do it.
They're massive underdogs. They got out to an early lead
and then Philly pretty much outplayed them for the middle
half of that game, let's say like second and third quarter or
whatever, where they went from like.
Washington 7 point lead to Philly 7 point lead.
They kind of outplayed them by like 14 and tilted the the the
game, but Washington stuck with them enough that they were
within distance to score at the end.
Go for fucking like. It's the most obvious situation
to go over to. This team is playing better
football than you because the point is the underdog thing can
maybe be thrown out if on the actual day of the game you feel
like your team's actually playing right with them.
But I think at that point you can pretty much say for the
previous like 2 to 3. Horrors.
Philly had been pretty clearly outplaying.
Yeah, I mean, even if you're gassed.
I don't. It doesn't.
All time out. I don't even.
Yeah. I mean, I don't how to time out,
get a better conditioning program.
I don't know figure it out. Figure it out like man.
What does being gassed mean for your probability of converting
one play like? Yeah Zach makes a great point.
So we're the Eagles like they're tired too.
My thing is like yeah like going to overtime, I don't know you're
you're definitely a bigger dog in overtime than on one play to
score from 2 yards, right. The the two point conversion
league average is like 55%. You're gas, so maybe you're down
to 45%, but I think you're 40% in overtime at best.
Like you're not as good as leg game penalty.
Push the ball back five yards and do the play again.
Then you're then you're really adding some problems.
But yeah, maybe. Yeah, Kevin Cole talks about
this a lot, like people often is, Just like, if you did this,
you'd get to go to overtime. It's like the point is not to go
overtime. Well, he has to win the game.
So I'm going to overtime to play the team who made it to the
Super Bowl last year and has the most explosive offensive
football. Love that for my team.
Yeah. But I mean, even tired as hell,
they just scored on the previous play.
Like, there's a little bit of an emotional boost there.
I don't know. I mean, yeah, maybe they just
would come out really flat on the ensuing snap and they would
just get absolutely stuffed in the backfield and they'd lose.
And it would look terrible and everything, but not much worse
than it looks to go to OT and. Not look good on the first drive
and then give up a field goal drive and lose like they had a
what, a three and out. And then the Eagles just moved
right down the field and kicked a field goal, and that was, I
mean, Congrats to that. Yeah, I was actually just gonna
bring bring this up. Pat, were you secretly rooting
for another Sam Howe meltdown there to get us closer to the
Jacobi Brissette whispers? Because I think Hal's leash is a
lot longer after that game. Yeah, that was not good for my
take. Luckily I was arguing with Sean
about Howl, Kenny Pickett and Desmond Ritter.
So I think I'm feeling generally good about my those guys aren't
the key to the season take. But Howl, who I was probably
most adamant on, was, is looking pretty good.
Like I I think he's making me nervous.
He he's both like. Kind of as bad as I was worried
he would be with taking sacks and everything and we saw that
in the Bills game. But when he's good, he looks
really good. So yeah, he he's going to have
to meltdown probably two to three more times to like
legitimately get he's. He definitely has a leash.
I I would expect. Although again like my big thing
was why am I going to build my teams around a quarterback who
might not be playing in the fantasy playoffs.
So like, he gets benched. Even like week. 15 I feel like I
I win, but it's it's gonna be a while.
If he gets finished, it'll be a while from now.
Shout out to some of our super chat kings here, Bendels.
Don't go chasing walrus balls, Tyler.
Another Rojo bites the dust. Yeah, daily Rojo for the new
people are old enough probably. Think that your handle
references Roshon Johnson and not even Ronald Jones.
Pat. Who's Rojo?
Come on, man, don't do that to me.
What I what I don't know if everyone in the chat is a no
suspension law. If we have any suspension
lawyers in the chat, is is Rojo able to service suspension is
not on a team or does he have to get some by team and then
service suspension? I think he already served his
suspension. Oh, and now he's been cut, OK.
I thought, I thought he was on the the Cowboys practice squad
and then was cut or something. I don't know.
Is that what? OK, I'm sure a ball nowhere in
the chat. I was just worried he was
forever. Suspended cuz then all of a
sudden. That's hilarious.
All right, Sam, can we get a first down?
Geez, no. But we can get.
We can get a rushing yard. Yeah.
We'd only need 12 more. Yeah.
No, the Bears D actually looks good, like there's stuffing
Brian Robinson do. Actually look good?
Yeah, this is this is worrying. The Bears.
The one time. I got on board at Sam Howe,
yeah. The Bears are prideful tonight,
guys. They blew a huge lead on Sunday
and there's a couple ways you can come back from that.
And this is the we sent Chase Claypool home and everyone else
is playing way harder because Chase Claypool's no longer a
part of the team bump but they get motivated.
Everyone which Chase Claypool cuz Chase Claypool was part of
like the Juju Steelers tick tock phenomenon where everyone was
like these guys. All they care about is making
tick tocks I should do a little research here with.
Was Chase Clay still grinding tick tock through all of this?
Maybe those guys should have spent less time on TikTok.
I hate to be a boomer. OK, but just look at the
results. If look at what happened, OK,
that's what I'm saying. Yeah.
You're after they were on TikTok.
Not great. TikTok is like known to be.
I've never gotten on it because I've heard from the people that
are on it that it's like hyper addictive and it's like been
like they've done studies and it's the most addictive of all.
Social ruins, right? Careers is what?
It's ruining NFL players. So he he hasn't been distracted
by TikTok. It's been.
Hey, he's probably, he's probably on it though, I mean on
the sidelines during games. Maybe that's what he's been
doing during play. Likes are blocked.
Otherwise that would be very fun to see what he's like he got.
He's all those film shots of him not doing anything during the
middle of the play. Maybe he's been, you know,
flipping his phone out and we haven't been able to see from
that angle and he's just kind of watching TikTok during, you
know, during the snaps. Now, I know Joe Horn once hit a
phone in the goal post and used it as a prop after a touchdown,
but well, now I've How many times you think you did that
before I scored a touchdown? That's.
A good question, but that was great.
I loved that. All right, It wasn't kid.
I was like, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen.
Once it was. Cool.
I thought it was cool too. Sorry.
But then. That's happened.
So we know, we know what phones have made it on the fields, but
his River players been caught just like texted on sidelines,
like, I assume that would be a huge right?
They can't be doing that stuff. What are you doing right now?
I was watching the video that it was actually a funny TikTok
Chase Clay. He got pulled into TikTok.
We're live on a stream. TikTok.
So addictive. He was getting pulled in.
That I got full of. It was he had a photo shoot
where he was in this cowboy hat and he googled how long is
typical to last on a bowl and then he wrote the caption.
They gave me a cowboy hat because I only last 8 seconds
and then he sent the the the post.
It's pretty good. If you guys want, I mean the
ship cast in the future, the ship cast is just you guys
watching us surf social media just.
Quietly not. Saying.
It's a watch along to TikTok now.
The thing about the three plus hours dreams is we've run out
of. We've run out of content.
It's week. 5 for. All we got now is TikTok.
Don't, don't, don't put this on me.
It's dirty. I saw that pic of Davis.
He's got the stash going now and the real long hair.
Yeah, I mean, he's looking dirty.
That's why they call him The Dirty Boys.
Yeah, impressive. More DJ, more feasting.
Oh my God, that was a bad. Pass.
Really good. So now I'm behind.
Oh. DJ More so good.
I want all the people that argue with me on Twitter about DJ
Moore for like 10 years and told me he sucked to Are you going to
middle this stretch? Are you?
Yeah. Yeah, 100%.
You don't have a I was always in team because.
Because you said he was, we couldn't take.
No, I I mean, I don't think you really even want him on on your
fantasy team still. But he's amazing.
So there you go. I'm by the middle.
This is the most and, she said. God, everyone in my.
Metrics to me, sucks. I mean, you don't definitely
only want to draft them, you don't want to draft them.
But. I mean, the first three weeks he
had like, I don't know, 30 total points.
Like the point was he doesn't really have a legit full season
ceiling. And in the last two weeks he's
had these big Spike weeks, which are awesome and it's super fun
to watch. This guy's trying to have his
cake. You need it to yeah.
What? What did you guys end up with
your DJ Moore exposure in Baseball Mania?
I I drafted him because I believe it.
I'm on like then. I took him one time.
I just didn't like this. But I stuck him one time. 2
times, Maybe three times. I don't know.
Not a lot. Yeah.
I mean, like, you want my exposure numbers.
Do you know how much effing DJ Moore have taken since he's been
a rookie? Like and you know how many times
I've literally I don't care about your exposures last year,
man. I mean, it's kind of relevant
that I was like on Twitter, like getting in, taking on the whole
timeline, like freaking Jon Snow every time you had a bad game
with Carolina. And people have referenced this,
they know what I'm talking about.
I, like, went there and just, I'm gonna bitch about DJ Moore
and like, defend DJ Moore for, I mean, he did one people,
millions of dollars last year. Too, I know.
I think I I think I built up enough truth or status that I
can say, look, I didn't think his price was great and I still
think it's gonna play out that way, but it's super fun to see
him succeeding. Yeah, but other truthers are
allowed to rib you about it. Yeah, I know for sure.
I'll tell you, I'm just. Saying that I had 10.4% DJ Moore
so comfortably I even literally wrote.
That part of the reason I was. Writing about how bad his price
was was like, I wanted to make the bet at a cheaper price and I
hoped that he would fall down to like the 6th or 7th round so I
could draft him. That was in the piece that I
wrote about DJ Moore. Well, I was real happy.
I was all proud cuz I. Told you about my trick and I
wrote about it. Yeah, I was just gonna roast you
for this in your video. The only reason you had it is
because you were so proud of taking DJ Moore 1st and Pushing
Justin Fields. That's right.
Pushy.
Of Justin.
A little touchy, pushy and fancy, I could have called him.
The touchy foot, Yeah. But I told Ben about it and he
and it worked. It worked.
Maybe your only share of DJ Moore's?
Because I did do that on one share and I was super pumped.
I said if you if you take the AJ Moore, you gotta take fields
with him that if you wanna play DJ Moore, play him through
fields like. And I stand by that too.
I think Fields is gonna, if DJ Moore hits like this like it's
better for Fields. I think I have 7.3% DJ Moore
perfectly cromulent, just enough to say he's slightly overpriced,
but I still see the single. That is perfect.
You can middle it.
Exposure. You can middle it, yeah.
I'm just a. My argument would be if you
search DJ Moore and my username on Twitter, you'll find.
Like a longer list of tweets than like a weekly version of
stealing. Don't do a guy just trying to
rake in that newfound X cash now that he.
Yeah, he's just trying to make money on X now.
You got me, you got me. Let's Daniel has Ben's a genius.
When Moore has a bad game, he refers to the 2023 take.
When Moore explodes Your mind, right?
That's how you. Right this is.
Exactly. How you do it?
No, you just chase it every single year.
That's why I will wait. Again, chase it every year,
forever. Forever.
I do think there should be. It would be fun if there was a
rule like every time you do one of those like condescending ass
tweets of like. There were actually people out
there fading David Montgomery, like you should be required to
post your entire set of exposures for a best ball gadia
so that we could all be like, oh, look at all the fucking
league winners. You were fading dumbass.
It's. Like such a fucking cherry
picked condescending tone every single.
Every time. Every time.
I know you whipped on a million things, you Jackass. 4 percent,
4%. So I still, look, I I talked a
lot of shit about DJ more and I still draft him half as much as
I didn't completely give up. All right.
I mean 4 percents. Pretty low.
I feel like, well, I was about to say a 4% Nazi, but I
definitely don't. I just want to guess I.
Got a lot of 0 percents because I only drafted 100 teams.
I didn't draft 1000 teams like you, I.
Drafted 693 teams? You want to guess my share of
Nazi? How many teams did you say?
I drafted well. I'm going to ask you to guess
the percent drafted, but I drafted 693.
I'm gonna guess you have 1.4% Naji.
I'm gonna guess it's under one and I'm gonna say 0.3%.
You guys don't know me at all 0.1, baby.
I knew it was under 1693 means you would have had to have
drafted 7 times to get to get to 1% and I was like no.
Way I think I must have drafted in like I think I draft.
I think so. At $50.00 of exposure.
And I honestly think it might be whatever that $50 tournament
was. I think I might have drafted him
once. You must have drafted him once.
Yeah, so I drafted. My oh.
My God, he's born again. He's so good.
Best player ever. God, I mean, I wish you guys
knew. Were in on him as early as I was
in on him. It's so good.
I'm I'm in on this bit now. That's a good bit.
I wish everybody would have been.
It is a real DJ Moore hipster like me.
It just got too cool after a while and so I had to you know,
should we should? We uninvite Dink and have Leone
come on to talk about why DJ Moore was such a bad pic.
Yeah, why you couldn't possibly take DJ Moore over DJ Moore and
Brandon I you He was completely out on Finger Soak Leoni.
Although he can't. Where is that?
It is actually deeply unfair he's not here.
Christian Kirk, though, is coming back looking like a good
one. Yeah, yeah, Kirk Kirk is 1.
Like, I mean us. Leonie and I taken the L on
Calvin Ridley. God, we took that L way too
quick. Yeah, I took the L on that too.
Yeah, I also did a little laugh. On Calvin Ridley drafters are
going to be hanging a Big L by the end of the season.
Maybe, I think. I think you could still get
there. He's gonna have some good.
Games, but it's gonna be, it's gonna be like the they're gonna
be like a worst version of the Niners, right?
Where they're gonna, like every other game is gonna be one of
them, but they're not gonna have as many blow up games as the
Niners do. Josh Norris just tweeted.
Has DJ Moore ever had a 2TD game tweeting through it?
The opposite of the way that I'm tweeting through it, Justin
Fields had to unlock him. It is afraid that this is
definitively the best quarterback plays ever had,
right? Yes, that is crazy.
All right, update from Drew Dinkmeyer.
I don't know if this was mentioned in privately said
he'll be there soon. I may or may not have timed my
multi tabling NBA best ball drafts Great, so need to get at
least one off the board. So Dick will be here shortly
once he's done drafting NBA best ball teams.
Amazing. And he's going to be drafting
still while he's here. Now that's the Davis Matic
homage right there. That's amazing.
I'm legitimately pumped for DJ Moore.
This is great. This is cool.
The one of the times that I was doing the Jon Snow DJ Moore
thing was an island game. I'm pretty sure it was a
Thursday night game. He went like he only had like 4
catches. It was against the box and I
fricking spent the rest of the night telling people they were
wrong for saying DJ Moore sucked, basically.
So full circle he's He's scored touchdowns on Thursday night.
I will say, the take that I remember you had, Gretch was
you, if you did do DJ Moore, you wanted you wanted those guys
together. You wanted DJ Moore in Fields
together, which is I think, a pretty good take.
Right. Or if you want to play more, you
could just play it through fields with sort of my point,
like Moore's going to have some Spike games like this, but.
If he's really the, you know, the impact on their passing and
people want him to be that, I think it's really great for
Fields. In these last two weeks, it's
been like Fields has looked way better because of it.
Who's that? Curtis Samuel Yeah.
Curtis Samuel couldn't fight for a first down for our guy Sammy
Howell. Do we have a single passing 1st?
Down. They don't have a first down I
don't think you know I'm yeah, you're right as a team.
Yeah. Don't lose the plot on DJ Moore.
Will's right. I lost the plot on DJ Moore a
little bit. I distinctly remembered that I
did get auto drafted Naji and a bulldog.
Not a bulldog. Big dog.
Yeah, that. I forgot I was drafting when I
was at the dog park. First down and.
Tried to add him in the ankles and so I did just find that, so
I've actually drafted that. Hmm, exposures are weird.
There's like two different ways to look at them.
Nice catch, Logan Thomas. Yeah, that was.
We can really use a score here. So DJ Moore, statline right now,
5 for 137 yards and two TDs in the 1st 15 minutes.
That's fantastic. It is tilting that I don't.
I'm not benefiting from that anywhere because I've looked at
all. It's a.
Dots. And you got Pat.
This you introduced a new sweat to me.
I didn't know Jihad Dotson getting tackled 1 yard short of
the sticks could tilt me until tonight.
Holy shit. He got he got ragged all down to
the ground, too. Just.
Die for it. Come back and dive like through
them, you know, go low and and forward.
Yeah, so with the second down though, second and one.
So they'll pass on the, they'll pass here inside.
This is such a good time to take a shot.
That was coming. I know ball guys.
But our, our five, our five pick pickup has Brian Robinson at
like 4 carries for three yards right now.
So it's going to need, it's going to need these rushes as
well an up the gut rush on second and one is so cowardly
it. Really is.
You can do that twice after second and one if you're not a
coward, you can do it on 3rd and 4th down.
So just take a fucking shot on 2nd down.
This guy knows ball. Let's see.
Yeah, the Gibson. Yeah, the Gibson.
Lower. Definitely no.
No rushing yards yet. He doesn't even play is the best
part about that one. I loved that one when he said it
out because I was like, I mean sorry, no, he played.
He doesn't get carries. They refuse to rush him.
He plays and like half the snaps, but they like.
Well, that's what I like, that you, you, you like win either
way, right? Because if they're blowing him
out, they're just running Brian Robinson.
And if if they're behind, like they'll just use him in passing
scenarios too and not give him rushes.
In almost every game, their Snapshores have been pretty
close. And yet, there we go, Logan
Thomas coming through for us so. Logan Thomas.
Our generation Zach Ertz. I thought you're gonna say like
Travis Kelsey. I would.
I wouldn't do that too, all right.
We got a. Raymond Summerland Tweet a.
Request for Raymond Summerland's Claypool tweet.
I feel like Tyler, like pays Raymond to tweet something and
then. Pays us to pull the.
Tweet out, I feel like. This is something that.
We're all part of Tyler's, just like Web of.
Yeah, we're just being played here, Raymond.
Some of them is a big Datsun guy, so.
Why did he Rowan? I mean, you can leave that out
to. I hate when guys miss.
Upfield on that throw because you can miss like wide.
There's no safety to the right side of this.
We're going to get an end zone. Look here, that safety's up you.
You have so much room to throw that to the right you and he
overthrows it vertically, like there's you could have so much
room to miss to the to the open side of the field for a long
touchdown, right? You don't have to.
You just you can loft it more and.
Right, you can slow down and run underneath it and be moving like
horizontally and then score. It's not like it doesn't need to
be caught in stride at all. That Raymond's Raymond's tweet
Step one cut Chase Claypool. Step 2 profit.
Although, did the Steelers offense?
Did they get better when they got rid of Chase Claypool?
No. But they drafted Kenny.
Pick it. Just let it go, Pat.
And the Kenny Pickett wounds? Just let it go.
It's I. Barely.
Want to I need to. I need to take that L with you
pack a lot about Kenny Pickett. I man.
Even before his injury in this last game I wrote up a play
where he had a really bad miss too.
I mean, he was. And a flag.
Cute. This is the.
Chaos, we're talking about. This is like the best Thursday,
that game we've had. Well, this is the most agonizing
first down, so I don't know. Does a touchdown count?
Does a touchdown pass count as a?
First down? Yeah, it does, yes.
Yes, it's an official first down in NFL staff.
That should count as a first down pass too.
Yeah, I don't believe it does. That too.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna go sit send a strongly wording DM to Rudman
right now. Cool Rudman, Third and four.
So it was holding. It wasn't.
It wasn't in defensive faster appearance or it wasn't holding.
What was it holding would have been automatic first down.
What was the? Penalty It was offsides I.
See three plagues. So actually how throwing it up
in the coverage like that makes perfect sense.
Why did that flag get? Was that offsides again?
It seemed like the flag came from the side, so it's.
It's either off sides or like an illegal formation.
That's the only other thing it could be is like the receiver
covered up the tight end or whatever.
Yeah, that's what it is. It was them.
They declined it. So it was that must have been
some type of illegal formation. Here's what I well, I hope Dinks
is really enjoying those NBA drafts about how.
I told him no rush, but maybe I shouldn't have said no.
Rush that's really taking. That to heart, I mean if he
wants to sub in for like another quarter, we do have, yeah, two
more to choose from. Nathan A Yankee tweeted.
You know you can drop Antonio Gibson from your fantasy team
when it's third nine and Brian Robinson Jr. is staying on the
field. It's true.
Why are you still Ross for Antonio Gibson?
Man, the Bears. One loss to the Broncos was all
it took. Welcome up.
Leotti's on Twitter. Taking it L on TJ for right now,
is he? Leotti's so quick to take else
he's trying to get out in front of the ventures.
That's what he's trying. This is what David Davis led the
charge here. He just is you immediately,
Yeah. That's the move, Leoti says.
He quote tweeted his post from September 14th about being
worried about these three players.
Christian Kirk, DJ Moore, Rashad White, he said.
If you would like me to turn the season around for what are your
players? It's only a small fee.
Amazing. Wow.
Chips are definitely gonna Pollard.
He should do Pollard. That'd be worth a small fee.
Can I? Yeah, I I would like him to be
worried about JSN, please. Yeah, JSN would be a good one.
So you've turned on picket, now you're out.
Who? May I?
My main point on him, I mean, I we always had fun with him.
My main point on him when we had real serious conversations was
we didn't know yet was that like last year's numbers were
obviously terrible, but that they.
Like the EPA stuff was hiding some of the like turnover worthy
plays that weren't like you know I've I've referenced that a
bunch of like some of those turnovers weren't even turnover
worthy plays and you know the lack of touchdowns and stuff
wasn't great. I do feel like we're getting
more and more information. Every time I watch him, I'm like
he's and he's he's making some bad reads at times that I'm
yeah, I feel like I'm ready to say that he's not good.
I never thought it was like a good prospect is my point.
In my like he was never, no one ever thought he was like a great
prospect. I just thought he could be good
in this system. They'd throw a lot.
He had good receivers. But like, I mean the the one he
had this week I wrote about in signals.
They're in a combo route like we've talked about on the last
couple episodes where like the front guy or the the the first
read was run to the front pylon, second guy was run to the back
pylon. It's a third and goal from the
five and they're down 16 three. It's a huge, like you need to
convert this touchdown, make it 1610.
They ended up settling for the field goal, the guy going to the
front pylon, there's two defenders on that side of field.
He's looking to that side of the field.
This is like very similar to the first three stuff we've talked
about. Both defenders go to the flat
player, which is Alan Robinson by the way.
You shouldn't want to be throwing to him.
And he, he gets pressured and rushed a little and he just kind
of throws it out beyond Alan Robinson out of balance at the
front pylon. It lands out of balance like
near the front pylon. And never really processes that
there's you should pre snappy realizing there's two defenders
there, there's no third defender coming and if once you see
during the play they both come to the front pylon, you gotta
throw over their head to the guy that's running the back pylon.
It's just like it has to happen like that and if you can't do
that then you can't be NFL QB. Like it's that simple like like
you have to be able to. It's a blown play.
The announcers, the color commentator, looked at it too
and said this is a blow. A blown play.
It's a blown Coverage like this is a.
They also have like the worst offensive coordinator in
football too. That has to go.
But you have to be able to take advantage of of blown coverages
is the biggest thing. Like one play doesn't make this
whole career but like you have to be able to convert blow like
blown plays defensively. It's that's what is read should
have been and what I wrote was the only reason I can argue that
he didn't do that was he made-up his mind pre snapped that he
wanted to go to the front pylon to Robinson.
He was sort of already like. That was his real line of
scrimmage and he wasn't reading the play out because you have to
read the defenders. Like when they both go to the
flat, if you just throw it away to your flat guy, you're not
realizing that means the other guy's open in the in the play
fields design brush attempt. Yeah, that one actually looked
good. It did look good.
Maybe they should do that more, right?
So how are we feeling? We got cold.
Come out looking pretty good. We're one away there.
Yeah. Sam now is we're going with our
first downs. But two of them already?
That's not terrible. That's not terrible.
We had none in the first quarter.
So I feel better now that we have two on the board.
Yeah, me too. And then JA Hunt.
JA Hunt. Dawson.
When you oh, Dawson was the other one.
Comet. Oh, there's.
Comet, that's great. Great call Pat and Pete.
I think you double stamped that. I didn't.
I was the one that was. I was like, you guys love it,
Let's do it. I didn't really like it, but I
was like, whatever, Dawson. I just realized that offsides
bomb that would have got him there.
He would have got the 42 yards on that play alone, for sure.
Who isn't he, number one? He's not like Warren I.
Thought that was the one in the offside.
The one in the in the end zone was Dotson.
I thought that were the defender.
Yeah. There were some number maybe in
the end zone, yeah. That was the that was the deep
shot that how overthrew was to. You're right.
Yeah, you're right. That was Dotson.
That would have gotten us there. The other one was Dotson, yeah,
And it looked. Like Shawn Johnson being
evaluated for a concussion. Geez, Herbert's gonna have a.
We need to start formulating our takes for our halftime.
Well, Herbert. Herbert would be Herbert, Yeah
on the list. Because what have we found it in
these we right. We we got like the Wandell
Robinson, like some of these really small.
It's generally the trailing team, right, that hasn't had a
ton of production. The numbers are really low.
For the skill position players, I feel like we've noticed that a
couple weeks, yeah the the one of the ones I would want to look
at is like how will pass attempts because I think the if
they're trailing like they will. Throw a lot, Yeah.
What? What did you just say, Pete,
that you've noticed? Well, just like remember the
Wanda Robinson one, It was like 1/2 yard or whatever.
So like the team that's trailing the, the lines for their team
are really light as far as like and those were the ones that
we've kind of jumped on. For sure.
Some of the other things I've noticed is it seems like the
guys that have gained a lot of yards in the first half, it's
like it's not double their number and the guys that haven't
gained a lot, it's not it. It's like it's predicting that
the the players that have like converted a lot of yards in the
first half are not going to convert a lot in the second-half
and the players that haven't converted a lot in the first
half are going to suddenly start doing a lot.
It's like, well, what if you just bet into the trends that
have happened in the first half continuing, you know what I
mean? We did that with La Porta and it
didn't work. It didn't work.
Yeah. Did that with La Porta that that
was a. Weird usage run out were
controlling that game but. He looked so good in the first
half. How do you not throw him the
ball the second-half? It's crazy.
They were uncomfortably so didn't run.
Look at him. We'll want you to pound the
table for the Commander's kicker under.
Oh, I love it. Yeah, I mean, look at 17.
Three good coaches know you gotta go for two down to
touchdowns when you score the first one.
Probably not gonna get any extra points the rest of the way.
You know, I didn't end up hitting.
It was looking good. The Bears really do look a lot
better with Chase Claypool off the field.
Like, just get echoing to be a St.
Brown out there as your other dude and you're good to go.
We gotta get him. My God, he's so big.
And remember when he was, like, so small?
He got big. What a good boy.
How's Murphy like in San Diego? He loves it.
He likes all the smells. Have you taken him to the dog
beach at Ocean Beach have and no we haven't taken him to the dog
beach at Ocean Beach taking the dog beach at on Coronado Island
which is really nice. He he's like, it's so funny
because we when we let him off the leash he like did this like
bark back at us like that we somehow wronged him.
Like I think it I think what it really was is that we had to
walk down the beach a little bit so he couldn't go off the leash
right away. But there's this feeling of like
that he was like this has existed on this fucking planet
here until now. Like.
This is the first time we're. Not violence.
So nice. It's so nice.
Did you not know that I would like this?
Exactly if. It holding out on me.
That's how it felt. Look at me.
Look at me in the eyes I like. This.
If you find out about other things that are like this, take
me make sure I get a go. Yeah, he had a blast.
We need to take him again pretty soon.
We're going to Brittany's brother is getting married so
we're going to Florida this weekend and so Murphy's, we're
going to have a dog sitter. So he's going to get to meet
another family and. They got a dog, so hopefully
that goes well, but I think I'll love it.
He loves other dogs. This has been your underdog
fantasy dog moment of of the week.
That was. Turned out.
Part of the deal realizing I'm still full screen.
Sponsoring They required one dog showing each episode.
While we're while we're talking dogs by the way, you guys have
heard me mention that we talked about on the slow cast, they are
doing the dog bowl promo again this week.
For every four dog bowl entries you do, which is the qualifier
for the live final in Miami, you get $50 bonus cash.
So it's essentially by 4:00 and we just hit the commit higher.
Let's go. So yeah, if you guys wanna chase
the deposit Kingdom, shout out to our guy Chris G OG ship
chaser Deposit Kingdom. Yeah, man member punched his
ticket to Miami this week. Christy loves Miami, too.
He's talked about Miami, glowingly.
Chris G getting to go to Miami. It's just sober.
When we were in Vegas this year, weren't we talking about like,
being in Miami next year? And yeah.
Traffic. In Miami, yeah.
I haven't been firing at the dog Bowl because I was like, you
know, I got got to write and stuff.
I was like, am I really gonna try to book a Miami trip?
Like why fired a thing that I might be like, but as soon as I
found out Chris was going, I'm like, I'm gonna, I'm gonna fire
at this constantly. I'm not gonna.
Fire this constantly so, Chris, Chris influenced you?
Chris Chris is an influencer dude.
RFKD said Chris of Miami is going to be so lit nut outcome
for underdog. It's it's true.
It's actually really good outcome for that.
You guys get so fucking spoiled with me producing chipsy.
I leave Pat on full screen for like an extra 4 seconds too
long. I've tuned into a Liam stream
where he's left the exact same chat comment up for 60 minutes,
you fucking entitled chat rats. The guy who said he was multi
tabling NBA drafts while watching us is upset with my my
directorial skills over here. Speaking of multi tabling of the
air drafts, Dink, yeah. Weird, Dink says.
He's backstage now. There he is.
OK. Sorry, Dink, I had the game
broadcast over the hopper there. I didn't see you down there.
I've only been here since like the 10 minute mark in the second
quarter, so that's fantastic. How's it going, Drew?
I I just assumed you were so dialed in watching your bears
just competently move the ball down the field that you couldn't
bear to come on here. It was a challenge about whether
I should come on and disrupt the first flow of offense that I've
seen in the entire Justin Fields era.
So but we're gonna roll the dice and see if it can.
If if I'm I'm the gatekeeper here to to unlocking the the
fields flow but it's been it's been nice he's he's getting the
ball out on time It's crazy. Yeah.
Where you say the entire Justin Fields era, do you mean your
entire life as a Chicago Bears fan?
Yeah, there was a it's it's very funny.
I I'll, I'll ask around the room here.
Who do you guys think you can start with?
Pat. Pat, who do you think the best
Bears quarterback of my lifetime has been?
Jay Cutler? I'm gonna go Josh McCown.
I think the best you guys had. So my answer, my answer would be
Eric Kramer, which is just, I mean it's just a devastating
answer to Rex got us to a Super Bowl, but really that was a lot.
That's a lot of Devin Hester and a lot of the defense that kind
of got got them the Super Bowl. Cutler was the most excited I'd
been about a quarterback until they drafted Justin Fields.
That was pretty short lived because everybody hated him
within like a year and a half on the team and in the fan base and
so. I think Eric Kramer had the most
sustained success, which was like 2 1/2 years of decent
quarterback play. Literally.
I'm, I'm, I'm 41, by the way. This is not like a short
lifetime that I've had of quarterbacks here.
So yeah, it's been. I just looked it up.
He started across five seasons with the Bears.
Five games, 16 games, four games, 13 games and eight games.
And you remember more fondly than any other quarter, yeah.
It's crazy. I think there were like 2
competent seasons there and that's more than anybody else.
So yeah, that's rough. The tough.
I Google him in. The first article is about him
committing suicide, Drew. Oh, no.
Yeah. Oh no.
Well, I googled Eric Kramer, spelled the wrong way and was a
bunch of LinkedIn profiles. Geez.
Really passed away. That's sad.
Yeah. Did not, did, did not know that
that was the the end of the story.
Yeah, sorry for the turn. Yeah, no, this is.
You got the wrong guy bro. He's alive.
Oh my God. OK, just close Wikipedia and
it's got four. No, doesn't say died on his
Wikipedia and I'm looking at his stats and.
Everything OK? You tell me that if you think
this article Eric Cramer put a bullet through his head, this is
what happened next. It should be a tragedy.
I got clickbaited. He attempted.
Holy cow. All.
Right this story, he literally put a bullet through his brain.
He shot himself in the head but didn't die.
Holy cow. OK, you you guys read this
headlight and tell me you don't think that he died.
Yeah, he it's on his Wikipedia at the bottom.
Wow. Attempted suicide by running a
hotel room several miles away from his home and shooting
himself in the head? Yeah.
Because of his inexperience with firearms, the shot failed to
inflict a fatal wound. Yeah.
Wow. So there you go.
Oh, how pick? How you doing?
Great, great. That's exactly, that's exactly
the contribution I wanted to bring to the show.
So I'm feeling really great. I'm feeling really good about
the few minutes I've been on. I would argue Deke took his dad
a. Dark Round Don't feel like you,
Brian. Don't worry about it.
You don't feel like. That oh man, I'm just, I'm the
Sam Howe of this show. That makes you a very polarizing
figure, I think. Let me know for a long.
Now, now, I lost you for a second.
I got you back now, I think. We still got you.
Yeah, OK. Were you up?
How old do that interception pass the sticks?
Did we get a first time for that?
I'd take it. So think Leone's out here,
Already taken, L's on on DJ Moore.
Where were you on DJ Moore heading into the season?
I mean, I was much more on Leone's side.
The race to capitulation at this company is just really out.
Of. Control like God, my God.
I mean, I think Silva already capitulated on being too high on
DJ Moore, and now Leone's capitulated on being too low on
DJ Moore and it's weak. It's Week 5.
This is outrageous, right? God, I gotta say, man.
Hearing Silva capitulate on Darwin Cook was a good list.
Like I think as far as boosting the subscriber numbers
engagement, it was good for me. Yeah, the race of capitulation
is strong. It's been.
I've just been watching the. Basically the way that this
happens is in the Slack chat. Someone starts egging on the
other people about their terrible earlier takes, and then
they get so guilted that the only release is to actually go
to the public and apologize. And and apparently this is our
company's thing now, so who knows?
Who knows what's next? Which is like really logical.
And toxic than Twitter. Yes, it's super logical and
smart in an industry where we're making probabilistic bets and
you know, there's a wide range of outcomes and we know that
everything's kind of chaotic. Anyway, trying to win Week 17
tournaments, right? Let's just every week pretend
that like everything's been answered and we all should have
known something that we knew beforehand we weren't going to
be able to know. Yeah, we're all so terrified of
being identified as Vegas, Dave, that we just want to capitulate
as quickly as possible. I got, I got tagged in a Vegas
Dave tweet the other day and his like, he keeps running the same
scam but just adds like a zero to it every single time.
He's like, this is like the, you know, plus, you know, -16,000
lock of the century or whatever. It's just like every time the
same screenshot and the numbers just keep getting bigger and
bigger. Incredible.
That's the only way. You just got a martingale.
The The Locks of the Century. I need to see if I could find
this. It is honestly incredible that
there's still people out there who are giving him money.
Grab a beer, Bing. Do you still like how big of a
Bears fan are you? Will you watch the game after we
watch it in full? Like, how much tape are you
grinding here? NO0I I the only reason I didn't
DM you earlier that I was in the in the backstage waiting room is
because Gretch was talking so much ball that I was so
intimidated when he's talking about where you miss on the
throw and I was like, Jesus, I'm out of my element coming onto
this show. So no I there's zero tape
watching. I would say I maybe watch 2 full
Bears games like start to finish during the course of the year
and they're the prime time games and it's more for me, it's like.
At least now pull Ryan pulls, the GM seems to have a little
bit of a more reasonable process that that I can get behind.
Obviously the Claypool trade was an utter disaster, but the way
they handled the number one pick this year I thought was fine.
And then they've got the all this equity in the draft next
year with Carolina's #1 and their number one that it's
exciting to, like, dream about Caleb Williams and Marvin
Harrison junior or something like that.
But until they show like demonstrates some level of
competence and stop hiring defensive minded coaches like,
it's really hard to get invested in a team that hasn't been able
to run out a competent quarterback in in my lifetime.
Yeah, it's yeah, I I can't. It would.
Of all the franchises, too, you know, at least if you were kind
of tethered, you know, Leone tethered to the Bills.
It's like they're now fun and, you know, being emotionally
invested is actually, you know, a fun exercise.
But with the bears, that just sounds miserable.
I also never lived in Chicago. So it's it's not like I have a
lot of friends who are Chicago fans that, like I would engage
with. So you know, I grew up in South
Florida. My dad was a Chicago sports fan
and that's why I was raised that way.
And so it's not. There's not like a community
aspect to it for me either, so it's it's a loose string for
sure. Well, hey, we're all about
getting guests with tenuous connections to the team that's
playing on Thursday. We had Liam on last week because
he called the Lions a dynasty on a podcast once this offseason,
so that's the bar you have to clear.
The bears a dynasty. I did by by Week 8.
We're just going to have people on that have seen a team play
for at some point. From a truck stop, it doesn't
really matter. I did find this Vegas Dave
screenshot that he sent out here.
First off, Congrats on the plus 65,000 units last night plus
65,000. Where do you get all the units?
Where do you find all the units? Is your unit size a penny?
What KP 65,500 pays 42,000 on just two of the MLB playoffs
Super goat parlays today. Congrats on the plus 65,000
units. I would argue your unit size is
probably too small if you're able to win 65,000.
Units. Yeah, that's probably true.
If you're winning 65,000 units, your units are win.
To sending your discounted grandfather clause payment this
morning. Once the game start payment is
missed, the discounted grandfather clause voids out and
it's 6K daily for the ultimate super goat.
Bundle maybe? Maybe all the subscribers were.
Limited on like DK and MGM and now all they can do is get down
65,000 units at a time. Speaking of thousands and
thousands of units and Drew's modesty of saying he doesn't
know Ball, how was it to have a week like you did very recently
where you got more than 65,000 units into into your accounts?
Well, how What's your unit size, dude?
Was that? Yeah, and we were scored dollar.
Well, I just meant, you know, dollars.
Any anytime you can, you know, win what?
What 1/7 the amount of packed rain wins in a single night?
It's a good night. So you know it's a good.
It's a good day in the streets. Davis was out here.
Chasing much, much less than one.
Seventh, yeah. David would have taken a podium
finish in the Poodle, you know? Just it's great.
I mean the the the wonderful thing about NFL, DFS and NFL
Best Ball and whatnot is like if you get one weekend in DFS, one
year in Best ball, right or one team it can just it's life
changing money. So it's different in other
sports. So it feels incredible.
It's a tough sweat when your team is out of PMR at the end of
the 1:00 games, cuz you just know that it's like, how much am
I gonna lose from here? Essentially lose when you
haven't really won anything, but how much are you gonna watch the
contest winnings drop? But it's great and it's one of
those things that frees you up a little bit to.
I don't know. You win something like that and
you tend to play a little bit looser in a good way.
Like you're a little bit more confident in playing contrarian
and different things like that. Even though the team I won with
was fairly chalky. But it's nice to get ahead of
the sticks early in the season like you.
You have a like tough six weeks to start the season and the NFL
numbers in terms of what I'm outlaying capital or?
Much larger than other sports it can start, you can start to feel
it, so it's nice to play from that.
I feel like you must have had a really tight core that day,
because I saw you atop the leaderboards in a bunch of
different contests. Were you running like very
similar core across to everything?
So that just, that was one of my main lineups.
So that same lineup was in like everything.
So so it was just that lineup. I hand built 5 lineups each
week, and then. Generally in Mme it's not super
tight. The Sims have actually gotten me
a lot tighter in terms of what I'm playing, which is tricky.
I need to still kind of figure I'm still, I'm still tinkering
with my process on the SIM stuff because it's all new to me as
well. But yeah, it was just one lineup
that I had that I had in everything.
So that's like the dream is the you know one of your hand builds
that you have in everything is is near the nuts.
That's what I've experienced with The Sims.
It was like Week 2. The lineup I hand built, The
Sims loved, and it was like the best feeling in the world.
And then like last week, it just hated everything I built.
I did. Hated everything I built last
week and I and I had a yeah, I had like 2 lineups that if I
just mashed them up together would have been amazing.
But I didn't. Yeah, I split them up and then
married them with other dumb pieces.
Yeah. I was.
I felt I felt similarly last week, where I was like some of
the stuff that I like. From a GPP perspective, that's
off the board is like not going to project well.
So I know The Sims aren't going to like it.
I'm trying to figure out what to do with in some of it I was
right on in terms of like a Chan, some of it I was like
really wrong on. And it's just it's it's the
nature of stuff that Sims still did pretty well last week with
like Karen Williams and Nikuwa wanted to just jam and
everything and that ended up being the nut combination.
It's gonna be fascinating to see this week from a projection
standpoint how the Rams are handled with Cooper Cup full
practice today. I mean, I feel like that's such
a hard projection to do for Puka and Cooper Cup this week.
Yeah. I don't envy our projection team
on that front. You don't get situations like
that. In the NBA very often like it's,
it's it's like I mean Puka would be comparable to maybe the
Jeremy Lin run something like that.
But like it's just it's very unusual to see somebody that
coming into the season you would have projected for maybe like 8%
of targets or something like that getting 30% for you know
the first month so. It'll be really efficient too.
Yeah. It's very specifically the stuff
that Cup was doing before he missed this time it's like he's
obviously getting. I mean I don't know if it's the
exact role or what what have you, but he's obviously getting
a lot of targets that you would expect Cup to come back and get
some of that. And so I mean I think they're
gonna eventually learn to coexist and and and both be
good. But I I do like I wrote this
week, I think it's possible that as they ramp cup up, they only
play cup partial snaps and it comes at the Kuwa's expense.
Like they kind of tag team the role.
But then by the time cups up to 100%, they'll have the kuwa
basically playing a different role.
But as a rookie he might not be practicing the other receiver
roles, right? Like they kind of have different
roles in the offense. I I don't think that's likely.
I think that's a a lower likelihood thing.
I think they'll probably be out there together a lot, but that
it's possible that they're sort of like not out there together
on a lot of steps because they're kind of both playing the
same role. That would be weird, but
starting. It out.
What about, like, I'm actually a little bit worried about Tutu
snaps too, because not that anyone cares about Tutu that
much, but like Van Jefferson I think is gonna play too much.
Like they're not gonna just take Van Jefferson off the field
entirely. Like, I know he sucks, but he
runs. He's been.
He's been on the field. I didn't even realize.
It's on the field nonstop. That's that's that's impressive
because my best ball portfolio has plenty of Van Jefferson and
I look at the box score each week and it doesn't look like
it's on the field. NFD MBS like the exact same.
Situation. He's out there, man, but if he's
gonna stay out there, it's gonna be tilting.
There we go, passing 1st down on the last play of the half come
out. I could be big.
First, I kind of wonder, I don't know.
I don't know what you guys think about this.
I kind of wonder if. One of the guys that's actually
hurt more from this, so at well, at well or Jefferson I was
thinking would be kind of treated the same because they
they they stretched the defense and they they bring an element
that is going to kind of force things.
I actually think Higbee, I wonder if he could really be
severely impacted where they just decide to add more kind of
Max protection type situations and leave Higbee in because they
don't need that area of the field congested with what Higbee
does compared to what Nakua and and cop do.
So that was kind of one of my first thoughts of like, I wonder
if, I wonder if he's going to take a little bit of a backseat
more than people are expecting because people are going to be
focused on the wide receiver stuff.
It's. Not targets last week too like
that. That's going to come coming off
of coming off. I mean, they just paid him a ton
of money, so maybe they're trying to make sure he he got
used. But coming off of, he was
questionable on the injury report too, so it's pretty
surprising. We just.
Got a But we're sweating. Sam Howell first downs tonight,
so I'm not drive right. Yeah I saw, I saw the first
downs that you guys were sweating and I was like that's a
that's a bet that you can make out there.
So shout out to Underdog, yeah. You gotta know ball to to play
it, unfortunately. Yeah, you got no ball.
Hey, hey, there's a little quiz before you can put the pick him
in that, you know, ball. It's like the robot thing.
I think that Jefferson probably goes off the field long term,
right? Like it's got to be a Puka
Cooper Cup 22 out. Well, three wide receiver set.
That's that's what we would think.
But what we would think is often wrong.
So I'm kind of like what's really gonna happen?
Because what's really gonna happen is probably Van plays
like 45 to 55% of snaps and we're like get him off the
field. This is ruining stuff like that
seems. That just, like, feels my heart
when I know it's gonna happen. He's been in the, like, what
would you call it, Robert Woods role, right.
I mean, is that right? I wouldn't say that.
Hey guys, let's, let's, let's do these pick 'em here before.
I think definitely stay with us as we yeah, there's some really
interesting one on the Bears, like DJ Moore, 10 yards.
Yes, yeah, done 10. Let's do the Sam Laporta thing
again. I'm all in.
Sam report on You can do passing yards or no. 5 1/2 yards.
Sure. What did you want?
Pat, you want the Sam Howell pass yards is big.
He's at 70. Yeah, I wanted attempts, but
that's big. Let's let's do do they have
anything on Rob rushing be Rob rushing yards.
Yeah, that's good. Well, they're down 27 to three,
yeah. I don't know how how much he's
going to be on the field. OK.
What about Khalil Herbert Rushing?
You like the under on B Rob rushing yards?
I do. Dink Yeah, I kind of like that
too. You know, Ball, yeah.
All right. They just anytime you take it
under you, you know ball, that's how it works.
Which? One were we looking at here?
Khalil Herbert Rushing, man. He needs a lot.
That's a lot. Or. 15.
Yeah, they definitely lean into the game script stuff here.
But I mean. I think on Washington side, some
of the receiving stuff, they're gonna have to throw a lot in the
second-half. You mentioned Howell's numbers
high. What about Tyrell?
If you're doing the DJ Moore over, you should do fields over.
I mean, he only needs 50 yards or something like that.
Passing to get over that. If you're getting 10 from DJ
Moore already, it's. Like I don't think you.
Can go and it just came down. Oh, can you not correlate?
I think some of the passing and receiving stuff that it's the
same cat you it's no you can do. We can't.
We can do that one if we want. To you can't do like completions
and receptions together, but maybe you can do.
No, no. But I'm saying we could do
Fields and DJ. More if we want to that.
What do you guys what what? What is?
Gibson receiving yards, 12 yards.
I like the Gibson receiving yards, yeah.
Gibson's a great one, yeah. Yeah.
So nice. Especially if you're doing
Robinson, yeah? Anything AJ Tyrell tackles is
what I wanted to say what it was.
AJ Tyrell What? He's a two and he's only 3.5
guys, he's only 3.5. Tyrell Smith.
That's Terrell Smith. Who should we put that on?
I don't even remember. Quarterbacks.
I don't even know what well I put.
In the TJ. Edwards.
TJ Edwards. They, they they want Cole combat
if we are going to do Fields, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Do it, do it.
Let's do it. OK.
I'm feeling frisky. We're we're saying the Bears are
going to come out throwing up 27 three.
They're going to just try to run this game.
I mean they got actually got from behind last week.
It's not out of the question. Yeah, I actually, I actually
think they're, they're throwing the ball so effectively and
Fields is in rhythm. I I don't think they're going to
completely take their foot off. I agree.
Yeah, I think there's a lot of benefit to like.
There's a lot of benefit to keeping him feeling confident
and not not not letting the game get close enough.
Let's do let's do a lower on howl.
That's such a big number of passing yards there, all right.
Let's I'm I'll bet against Sally's about to be on her first
dance. I do really like that Comet one.
What were the three? If we do just like a a smaller
one, what was the other favorite one?
You guys like Gibson? Oh, Antonio Gibson's receiving,
yeah. You want.
Let's do that one. Let's do a tighter 1 here.
I love that this is the the anti correlation.
Over. Yeah.
I know, but it kind of makes sense.
It's. Actually kind of fuzzy.
Yeah, yeah, which, which by the way that type of stuff is often
not priced correctly on books in terms of like this is obviously
they're all priced the same in terms of the, the, the you know,
standard payouts here, the three times the six time zone.
But often times that stuff is not priced correctly on books.
And you can get like outsized numbers on stuff when you do
stuff like that, when you do things that look like they
should be negatively correlated. But as you guys alluded to, if
Hal is checking down Latantonia Gibson, it's probably a harder
path to getting a bunch of yards.
The the algorithms will often treat those things as a
negatively correlated thing when they're a little bit more
neutrally correlated. Hmm, So what?
How are you saying? Are you?
But the the numbers are the statics for each individual.
It doesn't apply to this. Yeah.
It doesn't apply to this. I'm saying.
I'm saying I'm like a FanDuel or Draftking Caesars.
Like sometimes the the single game parlay stuff will, the
algorithm will kind of freak out and give you like a really nice
number on that stuff. Yeah.
That would be cool. So if there's more dynamic
pricing to how these fit together?
Yeah. Because that really is.
The way that you ultimately beat these long term, right, is
you're leaning into the correlation of how those
interact. Yeah.
And it's stuff that we're working a lot on behind the
scenes with the data science team that we have is like trying
to price correlation a little bit better so we can make
perhaps more educated guesses at single game parlays and
different things like that than. And it also goes into all the
same work and everything like pricing out the correlation
correctly. But there's definitely like
there. There's like I'll give an
example from last year the Cleveland had a weather game at
the end of the year. Last year I think it was against
the Saints and you could like parlay the over rush attempts
for like Taysim Hill with the over rush attempts for like Nick
Chubb. And the algorithm is just like
why would these two things go together.
And it's not factoring at the correlation is the weather that
they're not going to be able to throw the ball.
Other teams not going to be able to throw the ball very much.
And so you would get instead of like it might be priced normally
where the two might be priced at like plus 250 or something like
that. You'd get like plus 320 on
something like that, just because the algorithm is
thinking it's like a negative correlation.
And they just have hard and fast rules behind of how to handle
running back, wide receiver, basic.
Yeah. Kind of thing.
Yeah. Is that the game that was like
crazy run heavy that that hit. Yeah, right.
It yeah, we did well with that stuff last year.
Yeah, in that specific game, there's you'll get a, you'll get
a game or two look up this year. The Saints only threw 15 passes
in the whole game. They ran 39 times and the Browns
ran 34 and only threw 31. Both and I think, I think the
game this week cuz the Colts had a lower pass rate on pass rate
of expected on 1st down than both of those teams did in that
game. Oh my God the cold.
The Colts last week we took it, we took an A rich over on
attempts last week and the PROE chart on like the Colts this
year it's like +6% positive 3%, positive 8%, negative 21% and
we're like of course the time we bet like the 28 1/2 attempts and
becomes like 3 attempts shy or something like that and we're
like God. -40% on 1st down, Yeah.
Yeah, insane. It's ridiculous.
So set, set cards in in check comments it like it's plus 340
for that parlay on DK. I don't think 340 would be the
normal price on just a two that I'm guessing both things are
priced at like -120 on DK. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
That's really interesting. Yep.
How much? How much are you doing like
props and stuff on on Sundays, are you?
Because I know when the NBA streets, you guys need ton,
right? Yeah, I mean, we do.
But I can't bet anything. So like realistically we are
moving lines so quickly that if I was trying to bet anything,
even if I like timed out like I'm going to you know count to
10 before I bet or whatever, it's either gone or I'm or I'm a
flagged account that's going to get it gone for everybody else.
So it I can't necessarily. What I'll do is I'll bet some of
the stuff that our team didn't approve of because we have like
a committee process essentially, but that I liked.
I'll bet some of that stuff and then I'll bet some like I'll do
some single game parley stuff that I think is like
correlations that are mispriced. But in terms of how much I'm
doing, I would say like I on average might have like 3 to
$500 out in bets, not a ton in terms.
Of you ever bet sides and dude, I donk off stuff all the time.
Yeah. Like I it's.
I mean the number of times where like you know live betting.
I think I have a read on something that like yeah,
clearly do not based on my live betting statistics.
But yeah it's fun and it also like it.
You know doing some of that stuff keeps longevity for an
account as well. So I was gonna.
Say there's actually bonuses to that.
Yeah. Yeah.
All right, we will see here this will.
We're gonna need some Sam for our.
So for our core entry we need here.
I'll pull this up. This is to unlock the $400.00
giveaway. We need 5 or sorry, six first
downs from Sam Howell and then. All the yards, that's not you're
not in bad shape there, I think I would say.
It's in our favor. I would say you're in decent
shape. I mean, Washington's getting the
ball to start the second-half as well.
The dots inside seems like the most challenging side of that to
get, but I don't think you're in bad shape at all.
Yeah. I think we can get.
That drew what you mentioned a little bit ago.
Dawson has 9 receiving units by the way.
I don't know why that's not listening.
I was. I remember.
Did I not refresh? Yeah, you're right.
So he does have nine. He's not entirely missing out.
We were talking a little bit earlier.
You made a comment when we're talking about the Bears about
thought they handled the trading of the number one pick well.
What it like when you think through the future of the Bears
because I mean, I I know you, you obviously understand team
building and a lot of that stuff and and and like taking risk
intentionally in that. What do you think is like a good
path for them right now? Do you think it can be Fields?
You think it's learn fields draft you know learn what Fields
is this year, draft the QB next year if it's not him, because
they do have two probably top 10 picks.
Maybe we'll see how that works out.
Yeah, I think it was. So a lot of my friends asked me
like, would you prefer that they trade fields or trade the number
one pick last year? And I was like, it's an
impossible question to answer unless you have a really good
understanding of how the league values fields, which I don't
think anybody does. And so, you know, with what they
got for the number one pick, I feel pretty good about it.
I also thought like last year's class of quarterbacks was solid,
but other than Richardson, I was not and strouds played great.
So strouds made me look bad on this.
But I I did not think like, oh, there's a can't miss and
Richardson was not a can't miss. Like there's a lot of volatility
alongside Richardson. So I thought, deferring the
quarterback decision to get one more year of information on
Fields and then have two picks, that likely.
Carolina was likely going to struggle this year with a rookie
quarterback. With the skill position players
that they're running out there you're likely going to get
another crack at it this coming year when I think the
quarterback class is like I think Caleb Williams is pretty
close to a can't miss prospect. Drake may looks decent and
obviously now we have shutter Sanders as well in the mix which
we'll see if he leaves or not. But there's a little there's I
thought that made sense to do that in terms of like where they
go from here. These last two games of fields
notwithstanding, I think these are more of the anomaly than
what we've seen so far. His processing time to me looks
too slow to be great at the quarterback position.
And so if you can convince somebody else that Justin Fields
talent is something that they want to bet on and you have a
high pick next year, I wouldn't mind kind of switching pass and
switching directions on things. And I think that's probably the
best route. I would love Fields to be the
answer would be so much easier. But there's a number of, you
know, there's a lot of evidence suggesting that he just, he has
all the tools, but he's not seeing the field as quickly as
he needs to do to be great. And a lot of it comes down to
where those picks land as well, because I think it's a lot
easier to move on if they do get the number one pick if they have
Caleb Williams. Yeah, you almost 100.
Yeah. Well well well let's let the one
hesitation here. As a Bearsman, I'm terrified
because Caleb Williams has said are they his representation has
said that he might not come out if it's not a team or an
organization that he feels good enough about.
And this is like the NIL stuff. And I I like, I felt like that
was a sub tweet directly at the Chicago Bears.
I. Was like I was like, I get it
like I don't blame you like this is this has not been a
quarterback friendly. Chicago's a big market.
I mean, that's it. It is in place.
He he would. I mean, the path to being like
the savior of the franchise is very, very.
Like Chicago, it would be one of my top spots if I was, but I
would, I would imagine that you'd want to see a different,
you know, a different coaching staff, a different.
Like I So who knows what kind of influencer is there?
But yeah, obviously Caleb Williams is the best case
scenario, The best path forward if.
That's if you were ownership and Caleb Williams had those
demands. Don't you think you would sit
down and you say, hey, Caleb, what?
What do you need to do to get this done?
You want us to fire fire this guy?
You want to see that? OK, Done.
Well, who else? You.
Want guys? Brian.
I don't even know what he does here.
You want us to fire him? You're fired, Brian.
Whatever demands you have, I think.
I think our my knowing ball was just nullify.
Oh there was a pass, OK, thank God, I thought.
I thought Brian Robinson ripped off like a 20 yard RUD on the
first light. That's right, that's.
And then I mean if you get, we get Caleb or you, you get a new
quarterback, you reset the rookie contract window as well.
Like that was part of the thing. That was an interesting, I
completely agree with you. We didn't know how Fields was
valued and what kind of they obviously could get a lot for
the first pick and what kind of trade compensation.
It wasn't an apples to apples thing what kind of compensation
they could get for fields at the same time.
Part of it is like even if Fields hits now, you gotta pay
him because his rookie contract is, yeah, he's kind of lowest.
In his window, yeah. The other thing to your point
about them getting good compensation for trading off the
pick, like, I don't know that Anthony Richardson would be good
on the Bears. Like he he's been very
inaccurate. He's the worst completion
percentage ever expected in the entire NFL.
It's not close. Like all the red flags on him
are were real. Like, I thought they were real
at the time. It's just like, yeah, but he's
so. Athletic and stikin smart.
But like, if you feel it's great smart away from this.
Yeah, I don't know. And then he just kind of feels
it again. Yeah, it's been really
interesting the last few years, how in the cycles, how these
things go, but like, how much coaching really does matter at
the NFL level. And then it's also the
limitations will get revealed. I think we're seeing that on
Daniel Jones a little bit this year, right?
Like the coaching was able to like prop things up last year,
and then with an offseason to like, really prepare for all the
stuff that the Giants were putting out there, Not being
able to pivot to another dimension because the
quarterback limitations is then kind of like, oh, you're stuck
here. And so it'll be very interesting
to see how things go for Anthony Richardson in year two, right
when there's more of like there's more of a playbook out
on how fans Dyken and the Colts are trying to attack and he
doesn't. I don't think he has the same
physical limitations. So hopefully, you know, he will
continue to just be great. But I think that's that's
something to keep on. Is that, was that enough for the
Gibson receiving? Is that?
We got three first downs already passing this drive.
We're definitely in the first downs.
Let's see here where was. He's at 23, Oh.
How owl's gonna go over the passing yards.
I think that one's dust. It's still he needed like 170.
It's a big number. He's gonna be erratic in this
half against the Bears defense. Look at there he goes deep.
They're gonna, they're just gonna come out and throw every
snap. Oh, they got it.
But that's great for our first ounce.
We just need, it's great. Our core is looking pretty good.
Now what it is he have seven or six.
What's he got? I think he's 8.
Yeah, it's that's seven. He's got three.
Wasn't he at 5 at half? Oh, he was at 4 at half four.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's pretty good.
For us, it's going to come down to Dotson.
For sure it's going to come down to Dotson.
Yeah, yeah. But this, like, it's nice to see
them have a little life coming out of the locker room here and
being a little prideful, too. This is this is good.
This is great. Yeah, that was that was DPI
shoved him right out of bounds. So they're going to score short
TD here. And make it a 17 point game
quick. In the second-half, Drew gets to
start thinking about Caleb Williams as he watches the Bears
blow. This is, this is the that's, I
mean the tough thing about them, you know, it's it's a very
conflicted. I think this season is pretty
dead. So it's a very conflicted
feeling of like, what? What do I actually want to see
them do at this point? Oh baby, that's the first down.
That's a that is I always. Got that was a first.
Down and credit it as a first down, I've actually.
Known as promise. Oh my God.
That's great. I mean, to be honest, not
knowing whether that's a first down is knowing Ball that
doesn't. It's got a score that's present.
That was a nice drive by the commanders there.
That was great. I'm going to get Sam Sherman and
my DMS about Logan Thomas now because early on in the season I
poopooed Logan Thomas as a fab target.
So, Sam. Knows every gross player.
That's. The tight end, the tight end,
the tight ends that Sam is throwing at me consistently
because of route percentage. I'm just like Sam.
I can't with Durham Smythe. We've like reacquired Durham
Smythe now because I'm just like, fine, fine, take Durham
Smythe. I just don't want to hear about
it anymore. I got.
I got too. That's great.
You're like, I'm definitely Sam and I have definitely argued
about Hayden Hearst route participation like within the
last two weeks. That's that's a real
conversation. 100% yes, I'm rushing to capitulate on Logan
Thomas. I will be on Twitter as soon as
this acts. The second you get into the.
Slack, you're gonna be bombarded.
Amazing. Man.
Well, Drew, we appreciate you. You hanging out with us tonight?
Talking Ball and I want to make sure we talk about the Welling
maker. Those people, those of you watch
my DFS after dark with Dink Sauce talking about that.
What are you up to right now on donations this year, Dink?
Yeah, I think we're up over 23,000 at this point.
We are matching the 1st $40,000 for dollar in donations.
So we've unlocked 10,000 of that 40,000 in match points at this
point we'll be running throughout the the calendar
year. And every little bit helps.
I mean it's approximately like $40 give somebody water,
drinking water for the rest of their lives and that's just one
person. It it really what you're doing
is you're changing generations of lives because the water, it's
a sustainable solution with wells that are being built in
these areas, so. You know we've been doing this
for seven years now. I think by you know the end of
the by the end of my career we'll we'll have done stuff
where we're impacting legit generations of people and and
changing the patterns and the opportunities for people, giving
them opportunities for education, for building
businesses. All these things that you don't
you kind of take for granted in the US that clean water is like
such an integral part of life and and living a healthy life.
So appreciate the platform to to give me the opportunity to talk
about it, but I'm really proud of.
The work that we do and we partner with Charity Water,
who's just an incredible organization and they're the
ones who do incredible work. I just am able to use a platform
and leverage their incredible work.
Yeah, and just to let people know, I donated the immediate
week after I had a really nice DFS week.
Dink, obviously heading this all up had a.
DFS week. I'm just telling you, the karma
gods will come for you if you make a welly maker.
I donated. I haven't one.
Shit. I will say I still need, which I
will be doing, but Pat has a question for sure.
I donated last year. Yep, Yeah.
There you go. There's a lot of good
correlation here, so there you go.
Consider it. Well, Drew, we appreciate you.
I'll drop the link to the Welly maker down below.
We got in the chat there charitywater.org/drew Dash
Dinkmeyer. Drew, appreciate you as always.
Go have fun capitulating on Logan Thomas tonight here.
Awesome. Thanks guys.
Take care. All right, we'll see you.
That is Drew Dinkmeyer. Always a great time catching up
with him. And this game, This game could
get fun. It has been entertaining.
At the very least, it hasn't been.
A pro game. I think it's gonna get fun too.
One of the best. There's a couple games I can
remember. Like, not even this year.
It's amazing because it's 27, three at the half and in most
situations 27, three at the half.
You're like, man, this has a really slim chance to be
interesting. But when it's the Bears, you're
like it's 5050 to be a game. Like I kind of, you know, I
might just want to go bet on Washington on the on the live
money line, it's 27 to 3. Like what kind of odds can I get
here? Cuz they'll find a way to lose.
Yeah. This does feel like a A a game
that could be a tale of two halves.
Just there was the Bears Half. And then there's the lenders
half not aggressive in passing like Dink said though that
would, I mean this might be a little different than what they
did last last week. Washington does look, Nope.
They come out and they run a sweep to feel that was I.
Will say I feel really good about grabbing that comet 5
yards in two spots there like that.
That was some low hanging fruit, yeah.
God, famous last word. I feel good about our core.
We just need Dawson, man. Just need Dawson.
Just Dawson. And he was close on the one
play. But yeah, they're gonna throw a
lot. Like he's got to come come
through. We need so many yards for Dawson
that like, the first downs are almost baked into Datson.
So we're covered, you know what I'm saying?
Oh, for sure, Yeah. Dk's taking credit for being one
of the 19 people who were screaming Cole Cabett in the
chat. There.
No, but he was screaming the lattice he.
Did have the all caps lock the all caps?
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Had a chat about commit like 60 times.
So they just did two designed fields runs in the first two
plays in the second-half. That's been a big talking point
fields lack of design carries. Interesting, Interesting.
That came out with a with a lead and they're saying.
We're going to do these design runs that work.
Love it? Yeah.
Now, if you're Sam Howe, it's kind of smart.
Yes, with Sam Howe. Dude, I think I might be.
It's kind of smart to just like, you know, have a bad first half,
just have a bad first half, like, show a little life at the
end and then come roaring back, roaring back and throw to Datsun
for, I don't know, let's say, 50 yards and just crush it.
And like that's how you keep this job, because you got to
give the people the impression that you like or you're.
Saying these are generations Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Yeah, you're that's Benson as well, yeah.
Yeah, So I'm just, I'm literally just rehagging, making a point
Ben. I'm repacked event point from I.
Love it. The very beginning of this
stream. You do.
You're doing a great job. It's perfect.
We need to get them the ball back though, early in the third.
I want to see them make this a game quick.
There's a DJ catch. Yeah, he only needed. 11.
OK, so there's five. 137 in the #48.5, so yeah, we'll be or one
catch away there. Dawson has been so bad this
year, Riley. I was hoping he'd have a good
game tonight. It's not been good.
Yeah, very. Bad.
What do you guys do you think? Do you think we were just too
high on him as a as a player? Like what?
What do you attribute Dotson kind of stumbling to?
That's a fascinating 1 because he did not have a really great,
like Targets Pro Run profile. There were some concerns.
Did he catch that? Did he roll?
As it was, it was one of those second-half of the season splits
arguments that those are always dangerous, not that they don't
always not have merit, but it's like it is a little bit you're
introducing additional variance I think when you.
But he was very efficient as well.
But the efficiency was sort of in the second-half, but not
overall. Well with the Td's you got from
like I was going to say from like a fantasy point.
Like I know Sean for example will look at like fantasy points
over expected and and thinks the TD should be included because
Td's are valuable and he did hurt his own ankle.
Oh man, that's a bummer. So Roshan's out of concussion
and then Khalil Herbert, just like he's up on himself, It's
gonna be Justin. Field design runs the rest of
this game. But yeah, Jahan doctors.
Running back actually. Yeah, probably Travis Homer.
Right? And.
Sam's having a good night. God damn it, dude.
I can't. I just cannot.
Like there's so many days which is landmines for me is.
To quote Tupac, the last motherfucker breathing, he's the
last. Across nine different
communication apps right now, Sam Sherman is typing dude.
All right, no one steal this idea, cuz I'm pretty sure it's a
billion dollar idea. But here, it's a new app called
Lapper, and it just lets you. It lets you blast out victory
laps across all forms, across all chats, and with one.
You don't got to go copy and paste, you just take a lapper.
You connect lap for all your chats.
And you go, looks like we're seeing Travis over tonight,
Dude, that's from a sitcom. What sitcom is that from Woof.
They got into the chat. It's a woof.
It's from like Parks and Rackers.
I don't know. Yeah, I don't.
I I've never heard of Wolf. OK, yeah, with the same idea.
I'm not really. Don't sue me, Wolf.
What? What sitcom is that from?
Oh, it's from the office. I guess I remember the fax
machine turns on. It's like, it's everything.
Like I probably watched that episode that probably, probably
could rip off Wolf. It's probably it was in the sub
patches and I ripped it off. Yeah, yes.
Travis Homer and Kari Blossom Game are the only other.
The only other running backs that are active, he's the boss
and games the fall back. I think on Datsun though.
Oh, yeah, sorry. Keep going.
On I was gonna say well he was really efficient and typically
that leads to more volume in year 2.
So it's actually like kind of like where did we miss like
maybe he's just not very good maybe the the lack of targets
and all this stuff isn't all that great.
But I my thing is like it's. The longer term trends that we
have seen with the young guys that are efficient and earning
more volume, like that's the thing that I would point to like
where did we miss? Like the volume increases is
expected and it's not coming and so it's like go back to the lab
on that a little bit. Yeah, he he had 1.39 yards per
hour now by the way I was pretty overweight dots.
So this is one that hurts me too but it was just my thing was
like, I don't know how good he is, but he's the first round
pick. He wasn't terrible.
He flashed some as a touchdown score.
He had a good stretch. I think how will be fun.
I think Jacoby perset is good. If how doesn't work out I've got
I've got another out at good quarterback play and I think
Mclauren is good. So it's not going to like the
defense is going to be focused on shutting him down.
I wonder if Mclauren being hurt, it's actually hurt him.
Like if maybe Mclauren coming back to full health will help
Dots in Get There is like a #2 and he was drafted, you know,
mostly like the seventh round, maybe late 6th, right?
Where like if he's just like a solid #2 for this team, like
that's a win at ADP. So I think we can still get
there with Dotson. It doesn't seem like he's like
going to be a breakout star, though.
Yeah, Andrew says. Hal doesn't throw outsider
beyond 20 yards, so it's brutal for Dotson.
He throws to the middle of the field in the flat, so it's good
for Logan Thomas. That certainly seems to be the
case so far, yeah. Has Logan Thomas is another.
One right? That looks like pretty good
analysis. Yeah, that actually is.
A good call. It is time to bring on the
waiver queen herself. It's Steph Miller doing the
Lord's workout here in the waiver streets, keeping our
portfolio intact stuff. How you doing tonight?
I'm doing great. How are you guys?
We're doing good. I feel like we got some fun
sweats here on tap for this second-half.
How is your evening going? Pretty good.
I I joined, I tailed a little bit, so I'm sweating with you
guys. Nice.
Which? Which one are you?
The core one there? I have the core and then I took
something in the second-half. I couldn't find all of them.
I'm still getting used to the pickups and then they appeared.
So I ended up taking under on how I'm not sure what kind of.
I figured it was kind of, you know, hedging the first bed a
little bit so, but Dawson seems to be.
What I'm most worried about, like you guys are.
So. Logan Thomas just caught a first
down. He heard us talking about how
well he's playing and then promptly fumbled it there.
So that was. Brutal.
Ding's gonna have some fodder for his conversation with Sam.
Well, we picked up Logan Thomas a few places and then benched
him. Yeah, I did for you guys too, a
couple places, but I mean benched in most places though
tonight, so don't worry. What was the IT was, it was a
light week, I would say on waivers.
What the big decision point was kind of Jaleel McLaughlin was
kind of the guy everyone was wrestling for in most leagues.
He. Was and there was a big
controversy, not controversy, but.
Discrepancy amongst like his price and other and a lot of
people's opinions of this price that I talked to and where he
went as well. So I tried to get your stat
casing boys to bid a lot because they have no running backs but
they got scared and that is not turning out so good.
You know, they talked themselves out of it, so.
That what? I'm a little scared.
About Yeah, we're We're renaming the show Kurds Chasing Next
week. Yeah, well, we had to.
We had to jam in Roshawn Johnson, who's no longer playing
in this game. Yeah, What?
What was your take on the McLaughlin stuff?
Because like you said, the bids were all over the map.
I know just even across all of our teams, people were pretty
split on how to approach him. Well, I read a lot on him,
actually. Well, I wrote some stuff on
injury also because I have a little bit of a background in
kinesiology and sports injuries in case y'all.
Don't know few people here. So you know just about a CL
tears in general and sometimes some of the secondary injuries
you see. So that always whenever I see
some stuff it always makes a few things in my mind go off.
But I mean, it seemed like he took over most of the early down
work to me. Last game, except that Perrine
is the bigger back and we're still getting a lot of the short
yardage and goal line stuff and I don't see that going away.
But my main concern is just like, I think he'll be decent if
he fills in, if you know Jovant is out, but I don't see his
value that much once he comes back and I think the Broncos
seem like they're going to rush him back or you know, to where
he's probably not going to miss much time.
Yeah, so I was kind of on the fence, you know, maybe if, you
know, I didn't want to spend a ton, But if you really were
light at the position, then he could be a good start, probably.
Except for the Broncos offense isn't very good.
So you know what? Was the highest.
Bid you saw on him across our leagues.
Our leagues. It was around, maybe in the
fives or sixes, but actually somebody else sent me from one
of their leagues. Where he went like high sevens.
Yeah, that's. So he went higher other places.
Am I crazier? Did I see today that didn't
Javante practice today? Yeah, he practiced, right?
I was at work so I have not seen that, but I wouldn't be sure he
did. Yeah, I was, I think.
I mean, we didn't notice when we made the bit, but I we weren't
that enthused about Jaleel. We didn't bid that much.
Yeah. I mean, most of my bids, I knew
we weren't going to get him the only one.
Like I said, I tried to push the one team a little bit more just
because I thought they really knew the running back.
I think it's it's the perfect storm.
I understand why he was that popular.
We're getting at the point in the season where people are
looking at their records. You have losing records, you're
feeling panic, running backs actually getting thinned out.
We see him score a touchdown. What was it, Week 1 or week two?
He scored a touchdown. Sean Payton likes him.
You got Javante Williams banged up.
P Ryan hasn't shown out that ambiguity there.
I get why people got excited. And I do think the way we
approached it was some basically price enforcement bids just
being like, hey, if something slips through the cracks, we'll,
we'll catch it. But we're not going to be the
ones, you know, setting the pole position on these bids.
Exactly. I mean that was kind of my
thought. It was like if we ended up
getting him for, you know, some of those lower prices and
awesome, but. I wasn't going to break the
bank, but at the same time it like there's how many more of
these situations are going to happen and we got to spend the
money somewhere and make moves. So it's kind of, you know,
you're always getting pulled those few different ways and I
get and I hear it. From different groups.
No, we didn't. I think the biggest bid I put on
him anywhere was, well, one of the teams I think bid like 2:30.
They upped it. The most I put in anywhere was
about Reddit, too. Yeah.
I like the way you said that, Pete.
Well, right. But I think it's interesting to
think about like if the reason he's gonna go big is people are
starting to get a little bit desperate and some of those
things like that obviously isn't a positive about the way that
we're looking at Julio McLaughlin the play right.
Like we're just saying like that's the the market dynamic.
So it I I I'm, you know, I'm not thrilled that we have none of
him, but he went for a lot more than I expected him to.
And so that's like that's the result.
But I'm like pretty OK with it. Like you know what I mean?
Like it's it's not I don't think it's going to be the end of the
world like this seems like a good sat out.
That was my take before and too for the record.
Like I I thought we should kind of be be very cautious and he
went for a lot, that's why. I guess then how about you
juxtapose that stuff with Keaton Mitchell?
That's another name that was decently popular this week.
Did you write him up? Because I I know I have Fantasy
Life Discord. I was getting a decent amount of
questions about him where you have like similar ambiguity to a
backfield, but maybe an offense that people are more excited
about long term in the Ravens. How did you handle Mitchell?
I've written up him up, actually.
For a couple weeks now. So I've been on him for a while.
I haven't stored on one of my dynasty rosters.
He's been on my IR since, I mean the offseason.
So I've been familiar with him and watched him in the preseason
and I thought he looked pretty good.
I mean, he was getting like 6 yards of carry even then before
he had a shoulder injury, so he was showing some explosiveness.
He has some past catching chops. So I basically, yeah, like you
said. You know, he's coming off IRI
wanted to get ahead of him, so I wrote him up also the week
before to try to tell people, you know, hey, this is somebody,
if you have space, maybe to stash because there's so much
ambiguity on this backfield and we don't know exactly what's
going on. You know, they're trying out,
you know, Melvin Gordon and you know, Justice Hill and Gus
Edwards, you know, but none of them have really necessarily
been the guy. He kind of has almost a similar
skill set, though, to Justice Hill.
So I'm kind of curious how that one plays out.
But we do have, we do have a few shares of them some places and
we got him for like a we got him like a dollar where people are
paying a lot more money. We got him a couple places the
week before, but then I also picked up another share or two
this week. I love that.
That feels like it's something we are definitely on.
Like Javante is going like he's dealing with the hip injury that
he's practicing with, but you know down the stretch he.
He's still on track to have a big role.
Oh my, Gibson. There it is.
Gibson with a huge catch. I was hoping that was Dotson on
the. I was hoping it was Dotson too.
Yeah. Steph, anything else notable
from the waiver wire, whether specific players or just general
trends that you noticed this week?
There was a lot of, it seems like the last couple weeks
people have just increased bids overall, no matter what the
players are. He's like maybe they wanted to
spend some money. I mean also another one I saw
Michael Wilson was going for. I mean he's been, I've written
him up for last, you know, little while and picked him up
for cheap a couple places and you know he's churned.
But then, like I saw him going for, you know, 500 dollars,
$200.00 places also. So you know, it's it's kind of
weird. The one guy that still hasn't
picked up except for our circle Wandale still hasn't gone for a
ton. We've got him everywhere pretty
much the week. Before.
I mean, on teams we didn't have it on, but but still his price
never got out of hand. And I was kind of surprised in
comparison to some of the other receivers.
Like I think the most I saw him go for was maybe like in the
50s. But like I said, some of these
other guys were going for several hundred.
Oh, single. Terry went for 500, by the way.
Gretch, I know, yeah, in one place, but I did get him for you
for like 40 or 50 on a team you needed.
But he was going, but he went like a lot.
And the couple places he was available, which I was
surprised. Single Terry's like a very, very
unsexy. But man, the contingent upside
is just so obvious right there. If if Pierce were to get hurt, I
mean my best small bags of Praine.
Just to update the audio listeners here on our core Sam
Howell is now surpassed our first down.
So nice call on that higher than nine passes from that already
got there. Now we're really just sweating
20 more receiving our from Johnson who just catches a ball
gets us another one nine there. So we are our way.
What was the overall kind of overview for our portfolio when
I was kind of looking through it, a bit of a mixed?
Bag. I don't know.
Mixed bag. Last week was not a good week.
Yeah, I mean, we only have one team win.
OK then it wasn't a mixed bag. I was just at all my.
That's about as optimistic as you can paint one team winning.
There was a mix close enough. Well, if you Scroll down, I
haven't a Scott Fishball team and that's 11th overall, but
that's about my best news. Your team's 11th overall, yes.
And probably and I'll have DJ more on it.
So it's gonna be higher after tonight, probably.
Nice. Go get it.
Yeah, I wish it was money. I'm kidding.
Is this the week, Steph Cuz what
do we have? Would you say we have like 6070%
Breeze Hall across our portfolio?
Probably easily. Is this the week that Greece
Hall and Garrett Wilson, they make our teams great again?
That's what I'm hoping for. Yeah, I mean I've, I've gone
through strain as well. You know I I have a ton of
Greece Hall on best ball a ton on our teams so.
Yeah, well. He's looked good.
By the way, that's awesome. Well, thank you.
Yeah. I mean, it'll be pretty exciting
for bragging rights, you know, and stuff.
Yeah, that'd be pretty cool to win it, I'm not gonna lie.
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
You you gotta you gotta do us proud in there.
I I somehow got Pook and the cool on waivers week one and my
team is still trash. I don't even know.
Actually, I know what. That my team is trash, my team's
using it's. Like Kyle Pitts, That's how
nice. My team sucks too.
It's great so. My first.
What's that stuff I was going to say?
My I mean, I went very pretty hardcore 0RB on it.
My first running back was Dobbins and I'm still that.
I think I picked up Kieran Williams.
I think like before he was anything major, just on waivers,
just because I was taking him at the end there in basketball,
like every time. Once there started to be a
little bit of smoke there, you know that he was going to have
that role. So I think that was my saving
grace. Nice.
Beautiful. Well, Steph, you're absolutely
crushing it here, Nick, drop this in the chat.
The article to This Week for you audio listeners, it's Steph's
newsletter. It's called Fabulous Football.
Couple A's there for the nod to the waiver wire fab.
It's a really fun read going through not only our portfolio
and teams, but then just a macro view of each Waiver Wire slate.
Steph's recommendation for percentages.
Indepth write ups can't recommend it enough.
Completely free. And again, we can't say it
enough stuff has been absolutely crushing it for us to organize.
Seriously, Stephanie, you have. You have added years on to our
lives. We have.
Very much. It's very true.
I honestly can't recommend the the newsletter enough.
It's it's really good. Like breaking down the kind of
the overview of that particular week of waivers who should be
picking up on Clearly. We've been getting all these
guys like a week or two ahead on our teams cuz Steph's been
identifying them early. So if you wanna stay ahead of
waivers, this is out. Yep.
Well, Steph, anything else people should check out?
Nick obviously has your Twitter. You are hanging out in the
deposit Kingdom. Are you chasing everyone to
Miami too? You trying to get this
qualifier? I have not done any dog bowls.
I've barely gotten into kind of the underdog dailies this year.
I've done a little bit of the Battle Royals.
I they're fun though, you know, I've been playing a little bit
less DFS. So those are kind of, you know,
I feel like you don't have to prepare quite as much, you know,
it's kind of fun just to hop in the draft and not, you know,
obsess over. It's a snapshot of that
particular, yeah. Yeah, which is nice.
Yeah, DFS is getting. I was just saying you got what
did you get last week, 6th or 7th?
I got sixth in the Battle Royale.
Yeah, I was tied for sixth though.
It was too chalky. I didn't Scroll down enough,
man. I did that.
I was too. I thought I was gonna have a
sweat. I had like the the nut roll out
at the beginning and then nobody did anything in that last game
because I still I had like a chain and I had what was it Josh
Allen and and Diggs team. And then I had like Keenan and
somebody else that did nothing like the that like game that was
supposed to go off and I was really sad.
It's a big deal. You really have to be.
But it's an interesting tournament because like you like
the scrolling down thing. Like you need to hit someone
that's going to have a huge game.
But if you get that huge game and no one else has them, it
really does create huge leverage.
So there's. There's like a fun little
strategy element to it. It's also like not complicated
because there's like 6 picks. So it's both like I think a high
skill game and also you know you can fire them off pretty quick
so. And you feel how easy it.
I mean it's man, I feel it every single week and I've done played
them a ton where you still feel anchored to the ADP.
You're like, do I really have to Scroll down when I could just
select Breeze Hole as my last pick in the battle Royale drama
like that sometime is the thing that happens and you're like,
this doesn't feel right. But from a game theory
perspective, you got to do it. Steph, well, as always, we
appreciate you love you swinging by here to catch everyone up to
speed on the waiver streets and our teams.
Any other final words here? No, I think that's about
everything. I really appreciate all the kind
words cuz I admire all of y'all's writing so much.
So thank you so much for giving me a shout out and I'm glad to
make your lives a little bit easier.
I mean, that's an understatement.
An absolute understatement. Well, Steph, we will catch you
next week. You'll be here with us every
Monday or Monday night, every Thursday night, catching us up
on the waivers. If you have questions, hit her
up in the Deposit Kingdom Discord.
She's very active around all of those channels.
And we'll see you next week, Steph.
All right. Well, good luck.
Hopefully we hit some of these pickems.
Yeah, let's do it. We'll see you next.
Time. Yeah.
Yeah, the core is it's all down to Dotson guys.
Yeah, let's check in on some of these here.
So the Sam Howell one looking dicey for the second-half, one
Lower 242 because he's been balling Comet still hasn't
caught a pass. The Justin Fields one, we need a
competent drive from them. They're kind of been.
Conservative Turtle Show. Yeah, they're getting tight.
They're definitely getting tight, which is.
Lower Brian Robinson's rushing yards there is good.
Yeah. So all we really need is, and we
already got the Gibson receiving.
So we need Fields to commit and more and that can hit for two.
Yeah, I mean that's. Pretty.
Doable. Yeah.
And then man checking in on TJ Edwards here.
Higher than 9 tackles, He's at 7.
Brian Robinson is not going to get there on this one.
It's like half. We could say oh.
Is that DJ? DJ Moore, D.
J Moore. Feels just going.
What stepped out? How far did he get?
What did they say? What's the call?
They're saying he stepped out, but I don't know when.
That's still a good chunk, and we still need to get the.
Still a really nice chunk, yeah. Where did he step?
I don't think he did. I don't think he did step out.
I think it's a bad cult. He got to stop blowing the
whistle on this stuff, man. Dude, they need to put fucking
chip in the ball, man. And in his cleats.
Well, just swallow the whistle, don't just let it play out.
Are they? Not even.
They. Don't even have a good replay
angle on it. All right, so Fields is now 14
passing yards away. So this one, this one is very
live guys. This five or 2000 that we built,
we need if we get like 113 yard pass here, 14 yard pass to
Kolkamet we will be cooking. That's all it needs.
We all need 15 more passing yards, and commit needs to have
5 1/2 of it. Oh.
Wow. And then Brian Robinson.
And then Brian Robinson not to rush for yards.
Holy cow, this is the beer the Bears running back right now.
Foreman was inactive, Homer's questionable to return, Rochon
ruled out and Cleil Herbert is back in and then exited right
away after re aggravating it. So I believe that leaves them
with fullback Kari blazing. Game now.
Wow, wait, Homer's out too. He's questionable.
Oh my God, that's amazing.
Yeah, those Deonte form and best ball bats come roaring back to
life. Honestly, Mike did.
Don't think that hadn't crossed my mind.
Yeah. Dude, it's going to be him and
Jeff Wilson are going to sneakily be the Undertaker be at
some point this season A. 100%. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm excited
about this one. And as a reminder guys, we are
now we're 13 yards away from someone winning $400.00.
It's. Pretty great.
Yep. Doctor Evil says.
What, Are they going to put a chip in each blade of grass?
That's what Astroturf was. I just assumed.
No, they don't bother chipping them.
They'll chip the grass. All right.
This could be a fun fun fourth quarter here, Pat.
I feel like you were you were on your way to to Zooted town there
and and now you just kind of took your foot off the gas.
Did that that meal just soak up all the alcohol?
Well, I've had 1 1/2 beers. I don't, I don't know if I would
say I was on the way to getting zooted.
I did crush the first beer. The first beer went down very
quickly. And then, yeah, I just kind of,
like, moderated my behavior. I guess I have, I have to finish
narrating the walkthrough, which you'll probably think I've got
another, like, because I got to edit it as I narrate.
So I got a few hours of work left to do tonight.
Yeah. Joey wants to know what beer
you're drinking. This is called fish full of
gummies. By second chance.
So it's a local San Diego brewery.
I'm not sure where in San Diego, but it's.
Very pretty good. You know, I was worried that it
was going to be super sweet. It is a little sweet, but it's
not like overpoweringly sweet. It does taste a little bit like,
you know, like a gummy, but it's not.
It's not gross, because right? A little too sweet on that taste
spectrum would be. Genuinely gross.
They did this pretty well. I'll pour some more tequila for
you guys. I can't do the coffee pour
style. That would require way too much
tequila to actually get the effect.
I guess that's give you a little.
Come on. Just a little tease.
Honestly, that was pretty good. It was very quiet.
I really didn't listen for it, but it it just, it had, it
crackled a little. This is nice.
It was a nice one. Oh my.
Oh my God. We need the we need the Comet TD
here. Like.
I don't mean it doesn't have to be a TD, but I'm this one we
built here. Is pretty hot.
They're. Gonna kick a field goal.
Go for it. Cowardly field goal.
Dude, I want that core, man. I want.
I want the Washington, get the ball back and hit that core for
us. You're right.
Because the war. How about a quit Jahan Dotson?
TD just makes everything. Just get that core right and
then and then we can have the Bears come back on the other
side and we hit that halftime pick too.
But. I want to give away some money
tonight. I want to get that 400 out.
You guys say my tequila pour sounds like a tinkle.
Well, it was tinkle ask. But it was a good it was a nice
tinkle, Yeah. I get so triggered by the word
tinkle. When I was like a little kid,
one of my mom's friends used to always ask us as kids be like,
does anyone have to go take a tinkle?
Like, As for going to the bathroom?
And whenever I hear the word tinkle, I just cringe.
So I'm just letting you guys know, don't ever say tinkle
around me again. I knew this was happening.
I I should have never. Said.
You know, some people are like, I hate the word moist.
I hate it when you say moist like tinkle.
Is that actual word for me? Don't ever tell me I had a nice
tinkle. This is like this is the
information you didn't you should have shared.
Yeah, you shouldn't. Have shared.
That with the Internet. I thought I was being
vulnerable. You were, but the Internet
doesn't handle that well. I mean, I'm already thinking
like next year when we're in Vegas, well, I wind up in the
bathroom with you and have an opportunity to tell you nice
tinkle because that's what I'm like.
That's what that's the way to play it.
Just never say it to Pete until we're in person.
Nice tinkle dude. That's why I've been
compensating my whole life. And I'm like, dude, I gotta go
take a fucking heavy piss right now.
I don't tinkle, dude. Resource.
Dude, I fucking put a waterfall of urine in there.
What's strong? What's strong?
When we were talking about units earlier, I was, I was cracking
up thinking about Levitan posting that.
That video that Cam Newton put out?
You see that? Saw that you.
See that thing? God not giving him a hammer.
Yeah that was hilarious. That was he said, he said.
God didn't bless me with no hammer loves.
Dan sweeted it out. Yeah, that was great.
I mean, Cam is hilarious, man. I like what is that show that
was that? Was very funny.
It was very funny. Dotson he's got Dotson T he's
looking the wrong way that's that's.
Passing 1st down. We don't need him anymore.
It's weird to like, rewire your brain like, yeah, we don't need
that at all. Like it's already done.
Yeah, but every first down he gets +9 is a a multiplier of how
much. We know, Paul.
It's a no ball affirmation. Yeah.
Because if you just hit it like you know it's good.
So where do you guys fall? I will say right now the first
down sweat was is an awesome sweat.
It's very fun. I will say the tackles one I
never remember to sweat it. Don't I forget to look for it?
I would think we're getting close.
I know, but. Tackled one I would say, I would
argue is essentially not a sweat.
I don't know what's happening. I never care who is making the
tackle. That was him 53 while we're
talking. There we go.
I'm glad, he wished. Was that agent Terrell Falcon's
quarterback? What's the actual name?
TJ Edwards. This is TJ Edmonds.
And then there was another Terrell something.
Yeah, I can't. I don't even know if he made the
tackle there, but he was around the point.
No, it's TJ Edwards. And then they also have to
remain Edmonds. Who did they have to trade that?
Yeah. Who's on the pickup?
I I completely agree with you guys.
This is we have TJ Edwards on the Pecum that completely crazy.
Guys, it's impossible. It's the Robinson one where we
need it so we don't have to sweat that one anymore.
Also, you know it's bad when an account I've never seen is
sending me Canadian dollars to say, did little Petey have a
nice tinkle? Never seen this guy in my life
and he just came out of the woodwork to send me fucking
Canadian dollars and asked me if I had a nice tinkle. 2 Canadian
dollars. Jesus.
That's not enough compensation for how scarred I am.
That's amazing. OK, who's that?
I will say sample. How do I have confidence he's
throwing it to the right person? No, but he throws a nice dart,
dude. Dude, that was Jamison Crowder.
Did you know he's only Commanders?
I had no idea. I did know that he's been punt
returning for him. Oh wow.
That's right. I'll be completely.
I mean, hang on, Correct me if I'm wrong, Jamison Crowder was
on the Bills this offseason. Yeah, no Giants.
No Giants. Giants.
But then part of their
collection of five foot. Yeah, all the all the slot
receivers on earth, they they brought him on.
Yeah. Which is weird because they
clearly needed outside receivers.
So yeah, no, I mean it, it was obviously a great tragedy.
Everything's going great with their offense.
I mean, they obviously no ball and knew what they were doing
and you know it wasn't. Oh, Sam, the fantasy community
should, should definitely not question coaches so much.
Yeah. Yeah.
Man, Really? Like Godson, yeah.
He's got 30 yards, but do we have it at 40?
42 1/2 the end around is still very live.
This is a 2 yard loss on the end.
Hey, I tell you what's also live.
Dude, we need a little hall. Mary pitch back.
If he's part of like a a last second, you know they throw it
around play. How do they, how do they score
that? Not send underneath.
Hit him howl or send it deep. Is that oh?
Man. Is that low?
And Thomas. Yeah, dude.
What is low 30? 240 time right now?
Yeah, sounds like it's 4/8 just torching the DB down the
sidelines. 4 eight's faster than I was.
That might be generous. I'm like, how do we got?
The one time Datsun's inside and Logan Thomas is outside that he
finally throws outside. He just loves Logan Thomas,
dude. I love that.
That was supposed to be an out and up.
And he's like, he really cheated on the out.
He was just like straight to the up.
He was like, I gotta just go. He's like, I can't do both.
Yeah, it's time for gold. Go baby.
Go, baby. That's Dee how me brown.
That's Dee how me Brown. Yeah.
Number one. #2 I hate it. I was like.
What? Pete, dude.
Pete knows Ball so well that he doesn't know numbers like he
doesn't know which numbers mean which.
Number digit. I thought it was Dodson.
See. Yeah, see, No.
I really just. I got a guy running on the
field. Did you guys see that guy
running on the field? That.
No, it's Samuel. Samuel you.
Idiot. Everyone know number four was
Samuel. I couldn't see the number.
Tell #4. From #1 because I just saw the
base of it. That's the whole point.
The two in one look different at all points.
No, all single digits look the same.
That's a wild take. That's a wild take.
No, it's not. You're just kidding.
All single digits look the same. They do.
That's a crazy take. No it isn't.
Yes it is. Watching The Bird's Eye all 22
film like me, all single digits look the same.
Get your eyes checked out. All single digits look the same.
I have 2020 Vision. You don't.
I'm sorry to tell you, man. I'll pat, you want me to be
logically consistent? All double digits is the same
too. OK, that is logically
consistent. And double digits basically.
Worried about your eyesight? Yeah.
I don't know if you guys are watching a different view than
me, but I'm watching the the Hubble telescope.
In a sense, we are, because their eyes work and and they're
feeding you information to our brain.
Brag about your eyes after you thought Datsun was Curtis
Samuel. OK, they just ran a designed
play pretty much on the motion to Diami Brown hit him in the
face. It was a little bit behind him
and he just drops the touchdown. Well, that was actually way
behind it. Yeah, it was.
Yeah. He was open.
He was man. We shouldn't have thrown it so
early like he wasn't even breaking out of a break yet.
Just to like, keep this close and keep them throwing and
stuff. There it is, there we go.
There we go. Courtesy anal baby.
Big we'll take. We'll take the score.
Yeah, we will, because we couldn't have gone over the
yards on that particular spot. All right, now they're going for
two. We just need them playing for
like they're calling the timeouts and they're like, you
know, for sure. Do it, Yeah.
If they give up or toast, there's still 11 minutes left.
I don't think the Bears are going to be very effective
running the clock down. Without any running backs like
they need. All right, two point try here.
50 points. Score.
This is big. Can't.
Complain about that. Oh my God.
Dude, why step Why step? Oh my God.
Damn howl. Play I've ever seen.
That's The road was fantastic. Holy shit.
Just like parachuted. Up into the years, Christ, that
really is the ultimate Sam Hall experience.
Why did you? Why do you step?
Look how much room there is. If he goes a route like he could
have run, I know. Yeah, what the hell.
Wasn't it? Was it like rookie or second
year Josh Allen? And was it?
A wild card game, I want to say against the Colts or something.
When he had that, he was like getting sacked or like or he ran
and then tried to like lateral it behind him.
It was against, I think the Texans rookie rookie, your wild
card. And he was like 25 yards up
field, like he had like a long run.
And then he just like, I'm gonna throw a lateral.
That was like that's. When we all thought he left out.
On Josh Allen, Yeah. Yeah, we were like Josh.
Yeah man, it is actually crazy to think, like, how wrong the
consensus was on Josh Allen. Not even like as a prospect, but
just like an NFL player. Yeah, like it would be like,
it'd be tough to think like who? Who like today would have to be
awesome 2 years from now. Like, I like it's almost like
picket, you know what I mean? Like it's like kind of like it's
people have turned not maybe not quite that much, but it's people
have turned like it's not people.
Have already turned on Bryce Young fields like they're four
games fields. Turned around, Yeah.
Fields, is it? Yeah, yeah, Fields.
Turned around. That would be man.
That Josh, That's a bridge too far.
Josh says train land no one's seen.
Train lands play football. It is true.
See, he's never actually played. Here's the thing, though.
The people who have seen him play football won't let us see
him play football. They don't think he's good
enough to let us. That's not usually a good sign.
I'm done defending Tray Lance, too.
I'm over it. There's just not a lot of good
quarterbacks. I want every good young, every
young quarterback to be good. But it's There's not a lot of
people that can play quarterback well at the NFL.
No, there's not. There's very few people, not
most of them. You're going to be better off
saying they all suck. That's true.
Unless they or is athleticist Eric Henders.
Then we then we bet on him, baby.
Although I I think, Pat, I completely agree with your
earlier statement that Richardson would not be, he
would be. I think he would look a lot
worse on the Bears. He would look a lot.
A lot. All the all the criticisms of
Richardson. Are correct.
He's. He's not a good thrower.
He isn't. He may never be but like for me,
I was like, I don't. What Richardson turns into in
2026 is none of my concern. Like I just is he going to play
right away? Are they going to scheme rushes
for him? Is he going to pass well enough
to get the defense to respect the run because which he's a
good deep thrower. Actually he's not a great deep
thrower but he's good enough. So that was my whole end.
Stike and smart. But yeah, dude, if he was on the
Bears, like they wouldn't. You need a, you need a team to
design a very specific offense, and that's if they don't do
that, he he would be screwed because he's a super limited
player, right? But that's the one thing I was
gonna like. So it's kind of crazy that for
as many bad quarterbacks as there are, it's hard to play
quarterback. Like there is an element of
being in the right situation. Like we've talked about what
Fields is not actually ever really played in a great
situation under a good coach with a lot of good talent around
him. Came in and he had the worst
offensive line in the league the first year, etc.
That doesn't help when you're a bad processor.
We are seeing Richardson be elevated by a good coach.
We are seeing Mike McDaniel probably I think influenced Tua.
I think Tua has talent and has certain skills and and Michael
Villa is accentuating them and making him into the best version
of himself that he could be and so.
Who's limited too, too is not like he's accurate.
But he he's like he doesn't have a great deep ball.
He's a he's a quick processor but he's not mobile right like
strengths and weaknesses saying. Anthony Richardson's limited,
but like, he's a rookie quarterback dude.
He's definitely, maybe he won't be limited in the future, but
he's he's limited. That's okay knowing that's
limited, actually. Knowing that he's limited is why
he's having a good season because like this smart.
He's smart enough to build around it.
Is the check surprised by this take?
Is this so? Here's where I wanted to go with
this is like. Richardson's.
Is one of my most drafted players.
Like, I have like 2526% Richardson.
Like this is not me. Like taking a piss on
Richardson. Richardson was an awesome pick
and is doing great. Like, we all feel great about
drafting Anthony Richardson, but he is a limited quarterback
right now. Like that's just a fact.
And you have. To be a reason for him not to
score points. I thought This is why you
drafted Anthony Richardson for exactly what's playing out.
Wasn't going to be a good passer, but was going to be an
athletic beast who was rushing for yards and getting used at
the goal line. Wasn't that why you drafted him?
Yeah that's why he drafted him and like that's like he's the
the passing stuff was was overblown in the sense that
people were acting like he literally couldn't pass and the
defense was like going to be able to stop him on every drive
and or he was going to like lose playing time or I was like no
he's good enough. He can.
He can throw deep, right? He can.
He can make some big plays. He can execute a very specific
type of offense. But to say like he can execute a
specific type of offense is is not not saying that he's not
limited. I think that was.
I think that made sense. He's still limited.
Even if he can execute a specific type of offense built
to his strengths, which is fine, like that's not a knock.
OK, so this is where I was going to go with this.
And so this is a really good spot because I was trying to
argue, OK, there's not a lot of really good quarterbacks, but
there are some coaches that can get the most out of certain
quarterbacks. That especially when they kind
of fit their scheme a little bit, Which is a little weird
because I think traditionally I felt like coaches and schemers
is overplayed and the players are going to dictate whether
they're successful or not. But there obviously is a
marriage there. You just said Richardson is
limited, but he's good enough to run a system.
Because what my question was going to be is what if Trey
Lance would have been playing for Shane Staken?
What do you think happens there? What if Justin Fields is playing
for Shane Staken in this offense?
What do you think happens there? I think he I mean I think first
of all I think he would have been playing like I think Kyle
Shannon Kyle Shannon you know was probably the worst person to
I don't know why I wanted Trey Lin.
It's like he it's a their their whole scheme like makes it easy
mode for the quarterback. It's like point and shoot,
right? Like, that's the criticism of
the parties and the Garopolos and Tua, it's like.
Like point and shoot. You're not processing, you're
not reading out plays. You're not.
You're just like literally executing.
Like who? God, someone had this point and
I'm now gonna not remember who, but they're saying like it was.
Basically it's just the running game for the passing game
because it's like, you know, you're just like maybe it was.
It might have been rebar or high, Low was one of the pods I
was listening to last week. But they're saying like this is.
Those systems are basically like they're scheming out passing
plays, but you're also designed to get yards after the catch as
well. So it's like it's the extension
of the running game. Point is, what you're.
Saying it's the extension of the running game point where you
have plays, there's like, here's what you do when you are
essentially like a point guard and you hit this pass, then this
other series of events kicks off after you complete your part of
it. It's not.
It's not you sitting back, reading the plays, making a
difficult throw, relying on armed talent, putting all this
weight on the quarterback shoulders.
So the criticism of the Shanahan system, essentially, you don't
even have to be that good at like the mental part of the game
or have that good of an arm. You just need to be able to do
the specific like, scheme, scheme stuff, like system,
quarterback type of stuff, Right, Shanahan?
Why get 3 lands for that right? Shanahan is to Lance as Arthur
Smith is the pits, yes. But.
But would would Lance have fit? What do you have succeeded with
a Steichen? Or is Richardson better at
running an offense right. Like that's that's, I mean.
I think, I think Richardson's already.
I think Richardson's got to be better than Lance's.
Like already like to do this like Lance and like let's be
honest, like, but I also think Steichen probably elevates a
Lance, probably elevates a fields if he was coaching a
field. I think so.
Yeah, yeah. Because this isn't, this isn't
like a Shannon system. Like they're they're using the
athleticism of the quarterback in like, you know like the
Eagles do. I think it's.
I think it's a much sharper system for a mobile quarterback
like in a way that I think Shannon maybe like he's he kind
of sat down. I was like I'm gonna have to go
down this other rabbit hole. And I don't know what's down
that rabbit hole but I know what's down this one.
Like I've I've built a home. Down this.
Down kind of this classic Shanahan style rabbit hole.
Like he knows how to scheme that type of offense.
And Brock Purdy came along and it's like, Oh my God, I can just
do this thing I want to do and it's going to work really well.
Or I can like scrap everything I've built and try to like build
an offense around what Trey Lance does.
So I totally get why he didn't go with like, I didn't think he
would get like once Purdy came along, I thought he would just
go with Purdy. But I really don't understand
why he ever got infatuated with Trey Lance.
He just doesn't do any of the things that.
The Shanahan system asks you to do, I think, yeah.
I thought he was gonna try to add, like, a new dimension to
the Shanahan system. I was like, this is gonna be a
whole new thing. But ooh ooh ooh, single digit
come. On they all look the same digit
T's. Yeah, Gretch, you're coming
along on this tape. You just got emotionally.
Against to. One thing you'll take.
Notice I was quiet. I knew that was same it was.
A bad take. Shaming me for this single digit
thing because everyone is falling for it, because they all
look the fucking same. Go take a. 8 does not look like
1-8 and one do not look similar dude.
I'm not worried about an 8. I'm worried about A1 and A4 and
A2. I lost it when you said all
single digits look the same. That's crazy talk.
I stand by that take. Oh gosh, that is a very funny
take. It's really funny.
I stand by it all of the numbers.
Yeah, I saw it. So JJ had a tweet earlier before
this Dr. Datsun and Mclaurin had combined for an 18% target
share. Nice.
That's awesome. Loving that the running backs
have gotten a punch. At least we know this offense is
condensed takes, if not am not age.
Well, this season, you know the Falcons, the commanders feel
like there's another one that didn't really work.
Look at this, the underneath guy wide open.
Yeah, he's wide open running across the field.
What do you Is that Datsun? It's got to be seen, right?
Was Dawson even on the field? I don't think so, Man.
What the fuck is he? Oh my God.
Oh yeah, Logan. Logan is the guy who's trying to
get a few first doubts right there, guys.
I don't think Dawson's. Even I don't think Dion's out
there. Are we?
Yeah, we're seeing a lot of Crowder.
We're seeing a lot of Deami Brown.
Is he hurt? I'm looking Why are dots.
Yeah, the people are not saying neither one of them's out there.
Crowder is so dusty, still wearing a double digit number
that starts with an 8. There's a clip of me at one
point this offseason saying Logan Thomas could catch 100
balls in this offense. And then I was like, that was
the dumbest thing I've ever said.
And now I want to go find it and circulate it and act like I.
Act like I never came off it. That's the it's got 9 catches
tonight. Oh my God, just send it out with
the eyes emoji. Oh my God, where is Datsun?
On a melt carton. Bro, take me a minute.
But I'm just the right amount of like tired and and sick.
That was perfect. I needed that.
Crutch, I gotta say, like starting these streams at 5:00.
Feels early. It feels it feels early like now
that now that we're it's almost 8:00 Pacific Time, I'm like, OK,
this feels like a. Fuck you.
It feels late. What?
Do you mean now feels late? Yeah, 11.
PM. Now that's when I'm used to
streaming ship chasing. We can both be correct here.
Five 5:00 PM is too early and 11:00 PM is too late.
Well, but I guess that's a problem with three hour streams.
There'll be no problem if we can get a Justin Fields to a Cole
Comet 15 yard pass. So we would have done, let's
see, we would have done 16 streams by.
So we're doing, we're doing 15 of these shows because there's
only in. First Night Football games that
aren't Thanksgiving and and they don't make one which you didn't
do and we're we're doing about 3 1/2 hours per stream so that's
52 1/2 hours. Now we would have done I think
16 stream for the waiver wire show and he would have kept us
at a tight 30. So that's only that's I.
Mean all jokes aside, they would have been.
They would have been like a tight 55.
If you would have started 1915 waivers would have processed.
And about 10 minutes later I'd have been like that.
And that's the show. That's .92 of an hour times 16.
So that's that's 15 hours of ship chasing this NFL season
versus 53. Yeah, so anyone who is fucking
complaining about the show moving?
Just enjoy it, yeah. That's why.
I mean, it's too much. Grouchy, tired Pete for three.
And 1/2 times more content 3 1/2 times.
Content. Then we already gone over the
amount of in season hours. We would have streamed, but we.
It's a great point. Also, let me set the record
shape. We are definitely doing a
Thanksgiving Wednesday nights, Wednesday, Wednesday, which is
the annual tradition. Yeah, that's a number.
Oh, that's true. Which, but that we would have
done anyway. So that's that's.
Is that Dawson? Now it's McLaren.
Draws the Pi flag. What do we what do we have for?
What do we need that's going to about the 14?
Yards 13 yards. Yeah, let me pull it up.
So if he caught a TV from the 14 here, it would get us there.
Yeah, we good. Yeah, we need 13 yards on dats
and 14 yards from fields and. 5 yards, 6 yards from Comet.
They might wave this off. That doesn't look that bad.
Oh no, I think they got to leave that.
Don't tell me. That they're like telling them
to pick it up, huh? Dawson was wide open.
All doesn't even know he's on the field.
He at least he's out there, dude.
Honestly, that's that's something.
What are they doing here? No, I.
Think they're calling? No, no.
Penalty. Nope, no penalty.
Wow, Donnie. Oh yeah.
I'm Vision. We can let you guys feel like
geniuses when you tell us that they weren't on the field.
I think that's P I I think they got tricked a little by him
holding his hands and all this. You gotta let him get through
the he's Stevenson's not playing the ball and he literally
prevents the Mccorne from getting back to the ball.
He would have got back to it if the guy wasn't there.
I. I think that's actually a bad
non penalty. That was he has.
He doesn't have like a right to run there.
He can play the ball but he can't block the receiver from
getting to the ball. Just cuz he's not putting his
hands on it. You can't do that.
Yeah, that should have been a penalty, I think.
Oh man, look at this single digit cluster at the bottom of
the screen. Ooh, that's not him, though,
Lauren. No.
Yeah. Good play.
What about the 2 digits made you think it might have been Dotson
Pat? That one of them was A1 beat.
I guess you're coming around. You know where this take is
headed. All numbers look the same.
All numbers because. You already started there.
What are you already saying? All numbers.
All numbers look the same, I saw the one.
OK, Datsun's got a big black band.
OK, he's bottom screen right now.
That's what I like. Greg Oh, he's going for.
There it is. He's.
Looking. He's looking.
God damn it, owl.
What a sick catch. He fucking caught that just by
the end of the ball. What?
What hand did just to troll us? 10 feet out of bounds.
Put it on. What an.
Absolutely. When underdog did he give us
Unrealized Air Yards? What's happening now?
We got an injury or something Bears call timeout.
Oh, he that guy just got hurt, man.
He was open. He was dude.
How old? Maybe that's Datsun for not
coming back to it or something. I don't.
I don't get it.
I need to. See the the replay.
How have they not shown that catch?
I don't care if it was out of bounce, like show the fucking
play again that was. Incredible.
Yeah. Why haven't we seen a replay of
this? I don't know.
I'm watching Prime Vision. That's a miss.
A miss on how will I assume it? It looked like it.
Geez, how God damn it. Catch that, you dipshit.
What are you doing? What was the point of?
Why don't you just lose your team 5 yards so you could have
your bad one hand to catch? Partis is gonna put that on a.
Both of these were worth one point.
Whatever points, I guess would be 0 point.
Seven point There's maybe nothing that tells me more than
the way that people. Present the PPR scoring stuff.
Like is the person who scores the TV the one who deserves the
TV every time? No.
Like half the fucking time it's the fullback.
Like running it in, right? Yeah, this is.
Gonna be funny. This will be funny.
This is. The PPR stuff is so goddamn
stupid. We play a game that's made-up.
It has fake stats. All of it is fake.
Until every quarterback pass is worth like, 50 points to
properly value how important they are to every NFL franchise,
that fantasy is its. Own we massive?
That's the other obvious 1. The touchdowns and then the
quarterback scoring. We massively nuke the
quarterback scoring and you're gonna get mad about PPR.
Like we very clearly don't actually make stuff be what it's
really worth in real football. And then everyone just says this
about PPR. Over and over again and it's.
Just yeah. But think about how how sick of
a 7 yard run parts is gonna find a pair with that stupid catch.
Yeah, yes, He's gonna find a sick one.
It's gonna be true. It's.
Gonna be awesome. All right, I can confirm guys,
from this shot of the huddle, Datsun is on the field.
Now be careful Pete, cuz there's a lot of other guys that are all
there's a. Lot of numbers.
Did you see them with the name Dotson?
Yeah, I love the way Joshua said it.
We need things to count or there is no game.
It's not that hard to understand like this is.
That's our play on. 3rd and 15-A dump off in the flat on 3rd and
15 I guess. They're playing for a field
goal, dude. They sent pressure and he he
threw. He had an unblocked blitzer, so
he threw to his outlet quick to try to give him room to run.
I think this was entirely because of that blitzer right
there that he threw so quick. Jesus.
Are they in field goal rings or not?
I can't. Remember.
Yep. Well, they're gonna give it a
shot. 46 yarder. Is that in Joey Sly's bag?
Good defensive play call, but fuck we we need this made to
keep. Yeah, he missed it.
He. Daunted Jesus.
That's brutal for the fields. It really is, yeah.
Come on, man. That's all because Brian
Robinson had to go and catch that pass.
Honestly. Honestly dude.
What a brutal kick. I think 3rd and fifteen's a lot
more manageable, or third and 10 would have been a lot more
manageable. They probably would have went
for it on. 4th Well, they'd be 5 or closer, so they probably
wouldn't have, but then they kicked shorter.
Yeah, the Bear, the DJ. So we're going to win a game,
You. Suck, man.
Good for DJ. Why are you flying?
They're the Commanders. It's not like it's the Eagles or
something. What are commanders?
Card blossom game season. Oh my God.
Spin move. I thought that was going to be
lost yards. Commanders are like commanders
in chiefs like the president. Is that what it is?
Yeah, yeah. No.
Really. Yes.
They're from Washington. It's like political commanders,
I think. I thought maybe it was like a
shit thing, you know? Like the commander or ship
captain and commander. Maybe.
Just cuz like the command is a commander in chief, like that's
the. Army commanders, that's like.
I thought it was like all the commanders of all the.
So they can change that now that Snyder's gone, right?
Yeah, they can't. Then they should.
They should have never they should have kept Washington
football team. That would have been such a
funny move. I think it would have grown on
people eventually. It would have.
I mean, I feel like it did already grow on people.
Yeah, just football team. It's funny.
It is funny. But like, they kind of do that
in like soccer, right? Don't they do, like, they don't
all have, like some of them got the mascots, but a lot of you
just say that the city, right? Like Manchester City, right?
I guess that's. I mean, how perfect is it that
they picked a name that, like the whole chat is like they
named after Joe Biden's dog? It's a Navy rank.
You know Josh Harrison. That's a Navy.
OK, Navy. We we don't even know what the
hell this is. We're.
I mean, probably somebody in chat that actually knows what
they're talking about, but we're mostly just guessing and and
that just goes to tell you that they didn't know what the fuck
they were. It's just such a Washington.
Football team I've always enjoyed Zach Kruger's down in
Washington area and he, I think he's done some serious radio or
something. Maybe it's not serious.
Anyway, he's he's real dialed in with Washington stuff and he he
calls him the Commies. That's such a funny little dig.
I love it. The Washington.
It's Jover's. That's what they should be.
By the way, I always read that it's Joe.
Ever. Kill ever it's.
Kill ever, man. Yeah, they all.
It's how itself they should call them.
The wasn't the pigskins like referenced.
Like. You couldn't.
So call them the skins. Like, why don't you?
It's it's another name for football.
Just call them the pig. They already do the pig.
Toss all the races guys a bone. You could still call them the
skin. I don't know about that it.
Wasn't what I. Paul come at one time folks.
They do all the PIC stuff already and they have the hogs
and everything. I mean it just.
Oh, my DJ Moore. So there's fields.
He's gonna score again. He's not gonna stop.
Yeah, stop. More Oh, good for us.
He really just wanted that TV so bad.
I mean, I told you guys DJ Moore was so good.
Imagine not being in on DJ Moore of Seven.
Years Losing Your Faith and DJ Moore.
What a beast. Man, why couldn't that have been
Cole commit all right? Another drive of getting to
sweat all of the single digit numbers on the pigskins.
I mean, you got 17 point lead, they're going to fall back.
And I mean, can we just get how to run an underneath route?
Is I think the biggest issue or not?
How thoughts are they just going to run Dotson downfield ball
time because there's going to be some free completions here?
You would think. What a Game by DJ Moore.
Dude, so good. I spent so much time arguing
This guy was so good and I can't, like, I'm not making any
money off of this. There's nothing about this
that's helpful. 8230 and three Wow 78 Fantasy Points in the
Captain Slot 70. 8 It's a really ridiculous line.
That's crazy. It's like almost 30 yards a
catch to 28 yards a catch. That's wild. 52 points all.
Right, you just. Yeah, best ball moderate just
got me to pull up one of my I had to see what my best weekly
winners team is. This is kind of fun.
It's a Fields, DJ Moore Comet team, but it does have DeAndre
Swift and Devon. A Chan at running back still has
Waddle and Garrett Wilson to go. Could do a little something.
Something. Rashad Bateman back at full
practice today was a nice. Nice.
I'm having a pretty decent little start to the best ball
season, but I have a lot of Bateman and a lot of JSN.
Those are two takes that are not looking.
Particularly good. Yeah, the the Bateman.
The the thing I was thinking about the other day is like how
many times Bateman and Burke's? We're kind of like the last of
that tier, yeah. When really, the answer was Nico
Collins and Jacoby Myers, who are, yeah, 30 picks later.
Yep. I actually don't get this of
like it's time to call it on Bateman because he hasn't been
healthy. I don't know.
Yeah, that's one weird one to me.
But people are. I think some people have been
kind of out on Bateman in the beginning.
So it's like one of those things where if you don't, if you're
not like into a guy and then it gets hurt, you're like, it's
over, dude. So I.
Don't know. I'd be willing to like way more
willing to call it on someone like Burks who isn't healthy in
that offense. It's just not a competent
passing. Office, here's a thought.
Let's not call it on people like.
Yeah, I'm not calling it on him either.
I'm actually been encouraged. Next time chat you're thinking
about starting a sentence with, I think it's time to call it on.
Just don't write that chat comment, because it's the Week 5
and that's not how the NFL works.
I mean, we would have called it on DJ more already.
Like, seriously, We would have called it on DJ.
Right now, yeah. Week 3.
Like 3 we're calling on all people.
Yeah. Well, it's also just, it's in
the same way. It's like, are you gonna you
gonna call it on Keith Mitchell? Why is Keith Mitchell on your
bench? Well, I'm, I'm stashing him.
If things break right in the Ravens offense and he's a
contributor, well, that's fucking Rashad Bateman too.
I don't know. What I will say is.
Go out of whack. Bateman's role was bad.
Early in the season, we're like Burke's.
I was like, oh, this, this could be OK.
Once he gets healthy, they often certainly needs him.
You know he made that one big cat.
But Bateman, it's like, this doesn't look very good.
But Zay Flowers, I think he's done OK with the opportunity
he's been given, but he hasn't run away with it.
Oto Beckham hasn't looked that good.
Nelson Aguors, whatever. Like there's there's a need for
a playmaker. He could get back to full health
and be something down the stretch.
Is he gonna produce much from like now till week 11?
Probably not. So, you know, I wish I had less
Bateman, but I don't think like he's a first round pick.
But a really good prospect profile hasn't been healthy.
Like, those are the kind of guys who kind of out of nowhere could
be like, oh shit, here he goes like he turned it on.
And they they do need a field stretcher, right?
Like zay flowers. A dot is like approaching JSN
levels like at this point Odell. Has been heard they need someone
to stretch the field. They do.
I don't think he's been healthy is honestly what I think it is.
Like he Odell Beckham went down in that that game, what we was a
week two or three he goes down and Nelson Aguilar comes in and
was getting a ton of first reads.
And I my read on was like he's playing the Odell Beckham role
instead of like putting Bateman into that role.
They just had Aguilar play the Beckham role, which?
Either means Bateman's bad or he's not healthy, so it's
certainly possible he's bad. Yes, the last time we listened
to you, DK, What do? We get Are we gonna get 1/3
down? Past here we.
We had the other four picks there.
Remember we were looking for the 5th pick and you're like chat
really wants to come out. We had the other four locked and
loaded. Should have just sacrificed the
EV and locked it at 4:00. Yeah, No, we no, I wanted that.
Hey, I wanted the members name. I wanted Edwards.
I wanted TJ. Edwards Edwards hasn't done
anything. He he He hasn't done anything
either. They haven't been running.
Washington hasn't been running. I wasn't gonna let us do that,
cuz I was like, it's not gonna make sense if they're he has
eight tackles negative. He's one tackle away, yeah, but
he's not gonna, they're not gonna run the linebackers, get
the tackles on like against the run script.
The reason he's not This is a season low, and it's because
Washington's been in trail script and throwing.
Yeah. If you Davis says that Devin, at
what point do we accept some players just aren't great?
The problem like the true answer, and it's not.
The fun thing is, everything is on a range of outcomes, and
you're saying the probabilities of Rashad Bateman are less
likely to hit now than we thought when we drafted him?
Those chances have come down. It's a sliding scale of
percentages. But what I just said is not as
fun as saying it's jover. For Rashad Bateman.
So everything gets painted in a binary stance when it's really
just probability shifting. But that's no fun, so we have to
say. It right At what point do we
accept? Why?
Why do we have to accept that? I mean, we.
Do accept, we do accept at some point we do accept.
But like the idea that we should accept that Rashad Bateman is so
good. Because he didn't have a great
rookie year, had a pretty good second year on limited volume.
The volume actually the only reason you would say didn't have
a second year. He was super efficient when on
the field as a sophomore and then got hurt and then hasn't
been healthy this year. When do we accept that he's not
good? Not now.
The last time we saw him healthy, he was really good.
So we don't accept that he's not good based on him not being
healthy to start to hit hi. But that's that's not the thing
about this is when people want us to accept it.
The focus is on all of the times that you have seen the Leviscus
Chanels or we just sort of Martin Gill that any like he
isn't good. It's like, oh, we should have
accepted it earlier. But it's only with the benefit
of hindsight that you can say, oh we should have accepted it
earlier. There are players that do have
weird starts of their career and then hit.
I mean, like, I'm not gonna go way back to Devonte Adams, but
like the Devonte Adams Tyler Boyd wants their examples.
The one that I have written about a little bit this year is
Rashad Penny. I don't know how many fucking
times we got asked to stop talking about Rashad Penny
because he can't stay healthy. And then he was a league winner
that year that, like we had him stashed in some places and he
ended up like scoring a bunch of points down the stretch.
And then the next season he was good early in the year that he
gets hurt, then he's been, you know, gone from Seattle.
He's not even playing for Philadelphia.
But two years ago, he did stay healthy for a stretch and put up
a fucked ton of fantasy points that would have made him worth
stashing off the waiver wire. And when we were talking about
him that year, people were like, Rashad Penny's not it, He's not
going to be it. He can't be it.
I remember how many times we were told we're just doing the
same thing. We're just Martin Gilling,
Rashad, Penny. We're just when are we going to
accept that our spot shot Penny can't stay healthy.
And then he goes out and he has a stretch at the end of the year
where he's like the best running back in football for a stretch
because he did stay healthy. And it's like, This is why
sometimes you're willing to continue to try like like wait
around on these guys. Well we did.
We've done the same thing back-to-back years with Justin
Fields people. Can you cut him?
Justin Field, you know he worked.
And now Justin Fields last two games, 43 of 64617 passing
yards, 8TD1 interception, 131.32 passing rating, he's done.
He sucks. Move.
Like, again, it's just when is everyone gonna admit he's he's,
he's not a good quarterback. He can't handle it.
Can't process. It's a disqualifying trait.
Can't play at the NFL level. I mean, how many people were
saying that? All right, let's suck out on the
jihad, Dotson. It's it is time.
It's time. For time because my headphones
died. But I'm going to go back and
listen to that seem like that was a really awesome fucking
rant and I got the Rashod penny part at the end and it was so
good. And then you guys seems like
you're having a. Real far Rashod.
Penny to do it again then. Oh hell yeah.
Let's do it, Rashad. The Rashad Penny Point is such a
good one. Like that DJ you were told
forever. You said to Jamar earlier.
We would have. Yeah, we would have been out on
DJ Moore for a long time in Carolina.
People thought he sucked in Carolina.
He was the Kyle Pits before. Kyle pits every year.
This guy just can't play. Yeah, you keep trying to sell me
on DJ Moore. Now look at the guys going 3
touchdowns on Thursday Night Football.
This is, this is Kyle. I mean, this is the whole thing.
It was he gonna play the Chiefs every week.
Now he gets this is Justin Fields scheduled next.
They get the Vikings. Then the Raiders.
Then the Chargers. Then the Saints.
Then the Panthers. Then the Lions.
Then the He's not on the field. Dionne Brown's playing over him.
What the? Fuck, what's happening.
That was Terry McLaren, Curtis Samuel and.
Jihad Datsun Joker. I don't see my opinion.
Why are they? What is it that What was that
throw? Dude, all the Aaron Rodgers
takes of like, Aaron's gonna make sure like Dalvin Cook
plays. We we had, we were directionally
accurate, but it was about same how I'm making sure Diami Brown
plays. Do you know what name I just
realized I haven't heard all season?
Has Michael Hartman done a single thing?
No, dude. Rodgers buried him so good in
the offseason that they can't even play him now that he's
gone. I was like, I can't.
I've literally not heard his name mentioned once.
Why can't Dotson run that route? Why did you fall down, Mclaurin?
Is Dotson hurt? I didn't.
I didn't know anything about him being hurt.
Did you guys, he must be hurt. Like I I just put in my notes
that I want to check on this for stealing signals next week, but
I feel like he's got to be hurt and I'm wondering if it's
explains a lot of his struggles so far this year.
Now we got Crowder out there, but still no Dotson.
Oh, he's out there. I just saw the one I think.
Are you sure it wasn't a different single digit they
kind? Of went Dotson on the field
Jesse Riddle saw. OK, this would be an all time
suck out. This would be Elite.
Yeah, he's bottom of the screen, wide open.
Howl. Yo, God, this guy.
Loves. Why are you going over the
middle of the field with no time left on you but wide open
receiver? God damn it.
Howl, dude, I'm back out on. I'm back out.
That's it. That's game.
Howl sucks. Dude, that was so scary.
You're not even. What a play.
We don't even. You don't even get a Hail Mary
shot. How many first downs did howl
have 27? Can't throw any of them to
Datsun. Fuck.
Guess what, guys? Next week, the giveaway is 500.
Fucker. I want to look up what the match
is next week. Oh my God, Tyler fucking said.
Shoot Tyler to the moon. I cashed that set on nurse.
Let's fucking go, he wrote. Post the screenshots, Tyler.
Let's see him. So Drew Davenport had a tweet
here that said Dotson will play, but why wouldn't you play?
Dude, we must have missed injury, man.
Dude, next week the Chiefs host the Broncos, The homes gonna
drop 50. I think he dude, I think he had
an ankle injury in the Sunday game, he was questioned.
More return on Sunday with an ankle.
I think we fucked that up. We don't know, Ball.
I think you don't know ball dude.
We missed a fucking ankle injury.
Hang on, let me see. He scored at TD in the last play
of the game in force OT Oh no. Did he hurt at OT?
Limited, limited, full. He got a full practice in.
You feel OK about that? He's fine.
I'm already not excited about Chiefs Broncos.
And. By that I mean I'm excited about
the Chiefs. Marvel, we gotta have a.
Bronco on the On the pick Him too.
I'm so excited to be tilting Marvin Mims Mims to get 7 yards
in the fourth quarter. Hey, underdog.
We're putting the Marvin Mims over on our pickup.
Your call on what that line is, your call on what we go higher
on, but he's on there, OK, he's going, we're going higher.
It's happening. It's funny, too, because it's so
fucking binary with Mims that, like, I wouldn't blink at a
number that was like 65. I mean, like, if he's getting
there, he's clearing 65. But you know what I mean?
Like, I thought you were gonna say, I wouldn't plug in a number
like 35 because, like, it might just be 15, you know?
No, they'll they'll said it. It'll be like it'll be like 24.
But it's like with Marvin Mims, what's the difference between 24
and 48? It's either Sean.
Paige pulls his head. Out of his ass or he does it.
Man, Curtis. Samuel, by the way, just so we
don't feel too bad. DMP.
Limited. Limited.
And he was out there all the fucking time.
Curtis Samuel looked great. Yeah, man.
Yeah, should have taken Curtis Samuel over.
I mean, good Lord. Did every other commander's
receiver hit their overs? Logan Thomas did.
No, I think Mclaurin went under. Got it.
Lauren had Mclaurin, I believe was in the 50s and he only had
49. Yards Lauren was 49 and his
number was 60.5 receiving. Yeah.
OK. So we yeah, we would have needed
to do Logan or. We need to go through Logan.
Marvin Bibs receiving problems. All numbers look the.
Same there we go, dude. Thank you.
Find it all the way back. As long as you're the double
digits, all the numbers are the same.
For Marvin bibs this. Is.
The level of sweating that I can get behind.
At least Walrus had Brian Robinson in this game.
Walrus balls taking a hit on his first place team with a shitty
Brian Robinson night? Thank you, Daniel Danielson.
Yeah, all right dudes, Sorry we couldn't get the, the, the
giveaway to one of you guys tonight, $400.00.
It will be $500 next week. Hopefully we can get some Marvin
Mims bucks for you guys then. Gretch, what do you got going
here? Anything you'd like to plug?
I wrote up an extra post for stealing signal Subs this week,
doing the team by team targets per out run breakdown on all the
players through the first four weeks.
That's always a fun exercise. Good.
Like recalibration of how the first month has gone.

I decided to to name it after Devin a Chan.
OK. Can't I?
Like the guy changed his name. You know, you got to give him a
little respect after. He's just like.
Going back to the well. Can't wait guys, I got a great
stat for you from Next Gen. Stats to close on.
You have to do with Dotson, no? It's DJ Morgan. 221 of his 230
yards on hitches and go routes. The the most yards on those two
routes in a game over the last six seasons.
And then there's a picture of his route chart and it's just
like all hitches at go routes. It's holly rare.
And that includes the play where they said he stepped out of
bounds where we never even saw the fucking replay on.
It, yeah, they never showed us the replay on that.
Yeah. They should have 300 yards.
