Speaker 1 (00:00):
Five, six, six nine zero is the text line paul
O Charchie, I'm gonna join a six thirty talk.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
A little fantasy football. I need some help.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Mike Evans is down now my team. Just when you
think it can't get worse.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I finally I finally released Mike Evans from my team.
I held on to him all year, waiting for the
big comeback and then a season ending collar bone.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I put chariots of fire on dud dudun. Then I
just let him go, Just let him right off. Yeah,
it's it's been getting worse and worse. And on the
on the fantasy team, I'm steal a bit from our boss,
Dave Tepper. He's like, yeah, we got a players only
meeting and they decided to continue sucking.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
So I heard both of your teams suck.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, we're we're the bottom of the barrel of the
same league. And I barely edged him out because Smith
and Jigba had this monster game.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
He won me my matchup.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Moving on to six and one, Yeah, well much Yeah Smith,
that was the that's.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The old healthy guy that I drafted.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I got to be like the eighth round or something
to do. I got him way late to everybody was
sleeping on him this year.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It was one of those ones that I got.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He's the only player I think of my first ten
draft picks that I still have on my team that
is that has not been hurt.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Are you in the Dynasty League? No? Okay, So can
you work the waiver wire to pick up video the.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, I've got a second and third receiver behind Smith
and j but of Luke McCaffrey, who put a doughnut
up this week, and Ryan Floornoy. So's uh huh exactly exactly?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
How did you pick like that in your draft?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I didn't that would the waiver wire to get those
guys after Ceedee lamb Elak neighbors Mike Evans, Well, see
he's finally back.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I'm just saying I've been limping through with you know, Wow,
he was struggling.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I had Greg Dortsch one week. That's like Garrett Bowles.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Getting targets. I mean, who are your running backs?
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Pro?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Who am I already becks it's did that sound like
you have any high volume guys?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Got ramondre Stevenson, Alan Kamara, I think Wooding Marks and
Kamani vidals.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
By the way. Uh, Paul Charcion coming up here in
a little bit. He wants to talk about Alvin Kamara. Okay,
so make sure you ask him about I will, I will,
I will because I need to know if I need
to do something.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
It sounds like they need to do something. Hit care.
So I just saying, and.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I got people to listen to the show that I
could trade him to if it's a fire sale.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Look you should start looking right now. But I'm thinking
about your roster, and I'm like, did did you auto
draft your roster? No?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Wow, I live drafted that all got It would have
been a lot better. I live drafted.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
They just all got hurt.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Man, Like it is.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The is the walking wounded.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
My bench forever was just I mean, uh, hang on,
by the way, I play on our buddy BK this week.
So I had Ceedee Lamb injured, Calvin Ridley, who's been hurt,
Chris Godwin, who's been h who's been out? Evans So
I you know, I finally released. We had Elite Neighbors
was like my first overall pick. Brock Bauers, Like the
team is just like all wounded dudes.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
That's that's the all mass team. Right there.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Now I've got I've got Hin's gonna be out again.
So now I've got lambback Ridley uh and the only
other receiver I think I have Now I have Smith
and Jake, but he's on by this week. So I
had to go ahead and get Higgins from Houston and
that terrible offense, and I just hope that he could
come up with something.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
You know, it's been one of those years, man, when
we've seen a lot of players get injured. And I
know we talk about, you know, NFL being a war
of attrition, and it is just that. And whether it's
your fantasy team or whether it's Denver Broncos or another
team that you root for living here in Denver, the
biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
And this is why having depth is important.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
This is why developed drafting and developing players are so important,
because guys are going to get injured. When they get injured,
you need and want to step in. Think about what
happened with the Denver Broncos. Right they're only a third
guard right now. That third guard, so they can't sustain.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Fourth because Calvin Throckmore got to start at one practice. Okayo,
fourth guard.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
So so the Broncos cannot afford any more injuries in
my opinion, to their offensive line, especially the starting offensive line, because.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Chemistry is everything.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Now this week against the Dallas Cowboys, they're not going
to face too much of I guess confrontation like they
faced against maybe the Jets or the New York Giants.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
So they should be they should be well.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
But when you start to get into the media to schedule,
you start playing Kansas City twice, you need to make
sure that your offensive line has that experience. But you
don't experience another injury. Grant you had something you want
to I.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Was just gonna say good news on the offensive line.
Mike McGlinchey full participant in practice today after that injury
scare on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, that'll be it'll be good to you.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Know, because he's had a couple of them where he's
come up didn't come up limp and twice in that game.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, you know, so.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
That was one of those things.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I mean, if you have him go down, that means
Frank Crumb is the next man, and that is whatever
you think of Agalinshi, that is a significant downgrade at
the right tackle.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
It would be better, you know, once again, if you're
gonna have injuries on your offensive line, not to say
the knock on wood that you wanted to happen, but
you'd rather that take place here at home opposed to
on a row. And the reason I say that because
once you go on the road, you're dealing with a crown noise.
And we've seen the Broncos even at home, have maybe
false starts, delay of game penalties, or had to take
(05:39):
time outs because there's issues with the communication coming into bow.
And you take those three things magnified them by one
hundred when you talk about playing on the row.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
So hey, look, get it right, get right, get tight.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, it's like, what is that? Which one was that?
Which one was that? Which song was that?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
That's uh, Buba Sparks. Yes, that's body booty, Booty booty
rocking everywhere, boy rock everywhere. That's a name new Booty.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Bring it back to.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I had forgotten about Bubba Sparks. Yes, I wish I
could forget about him again after that Saturday.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
No, you can't forget about that.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You know somebody who can't forget about somebody? Sean Payton
can't forget about Russell Wilson, although he says this one
this time he wasn't actually talking about it.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
I did look and the euphoria the way that game unfolded,
that was strictly about Dart, I mean, and I that
was in no way, shape or form anything that was
directed at Russ. So and I might be able to
(06:57):
see how he might perceive that, but uh, coming off
that win in watching how he played, Yeah, that that
wasn't any intention at all.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I don't think anybody's buying that.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
But you know that's what he That's what Sean Payton
needed to say in that instance, and you know it
ends there at that point. He has plausible deniability because
he didn't say Russ by name.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Well did that would mean that every one from a
national standpoint just injected their own perspective or and interpret it.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, I mean, the the obvious joke here is that
or the obvious that you know, everybody's first assumption was
that he was talking about Russ.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It wasn't just Russ, it was everyone that assumed that.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Well, and and listen man like like Coe said that
he can easily see how Russ thought that, right, Yeah,
And the reason being because there were things that may
have been said in the past or in passing, and
as it pertains to Russ in his time here with
with the Broncos. For me, you treated like an ex lover.
(08:07):
I mean, we did our thing, we had our time.
Now it's over. We moved on, you moved on. There's
no need to even revisit it. That's the way I
look at it. Why why are you looking at me
like that? Oh you're not burning the world to the ground.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
You're not.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
This is not you know, you're not going scorched earth.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So I'm naplving this thing into the It's done.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
It's over. I mean, look, I don't know if I
had next that did that.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I mean I have I think everyone knows that.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Let me see Nick Ferguson, Vizeman or Bright. I think
it leans heavy the skills I've just said.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Have you ever had an ex that like went like
scorched earth after it was over?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
You don't have to name my name, but I.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Meancause I mean, okay, what what's the definition of scorched earth?
Are we talking about kid in your car and doing
stuff like that?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I mean, if those things occurred, But I'm just saying
with somebody that went you know, it was not a
pleasant breakup at the end, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Uh, No, fortunate for me.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
I've never been in those situations like that before. But
I know some guys, both guys who are players and
non players, who's.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Gone through it.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
So they say, so some guys want to take out
some restraining orders. Right, It's been that bad for certain guys,
but never for me. But the idea is that what
you break up, you broke up restraining order. By the way,
it is it really hard to get difficult, dude, to
get a restraining list.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Really, it's like really difficult to get one and get
them to enforce it.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
So you have to go down to the courthouse, Yes,
and you have to get the person's name and see
Grit set up in his.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Chair like he's like he's experienced this before.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I have, and I just might know someone who has
that might be sitting not to speak on any legal term. Wow, Okay,
I didn't really realize the restraining order was that difficult.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You gotta like, like, you gotta go down to the courthouse.
They gotta termine elgibill. Do you got to take evidence
down for whom you gotta determine if you're if they're eligible,
you gotta demonstrate that.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
You're in danger of harm or reparable damage.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And then you know they have to give them like photos,
medical records, any threatening communications, you try to get witness statements.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Then you gotta fight.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You gotta go to the appropriate court file of petition.
The court's gotta review it.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
They gotta serve process on the person, and then you
have to have a full hearing.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
This is this is this is, this is too much.
By this time, something has already happened to someone and
now we're talking about what we could have done or
should have done instead of doing it. I mean, when
you said you have to show medical records, do we
need stab and gunshot wolves?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I mean they they like there were like there was
a whole lot that. Okay, there was also someone that
I know had to go through but you wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Went yeah, it was it was and.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Then it then it only lasts didn't even last that
long like the original like it's a restraining order early
it didn't last very long.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
With that being said, well, sould Dak Prescott start his restraining.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Order right now for Nick Benito and Johnathan Cooper start
now it's too late.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
No, No, I mean it takes a couple of days, right,
the game is not until Sunday. He has a He's
has a lot of time to call here in Denver.
Take out call Mayor Mike Johnson. Try to get an
expedite at uh you know Brange.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, I'm just in effective a college.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You do you guys see what's the weather lady over
Fox thirty one? Uh, Kylie burse Oh yeah, that was
a crazy story.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yeah, she had a situation where she had a restraining order.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
The dude still showed up at her house in a
truck and they couldn't she couldn't get anything done about it.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Okay, what's the use of having laws and policies if
they're not literally enforced? Right, It's it's a restraining order.
Someone is threatening my life in some way, and I
am looking to the law to figure this out and
they're not gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So I don't want to get political on this one,
but I'm a big two second Amendment guy, So.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Just saying, wow, Well.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
So much for you, Dak Prescott. I guess you might
be might be in trouble.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yes, might be in trouble since those irrestraining orders don't work,
John Cooper, Nick Bonito, they coming for you, maybe even
Jonah Ellis.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
He was limited today. Yeah, that's big news. Yeah, you
played pretty well though, I thought you.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Robinson played really well. Yeah, I thought I thought he
did play pretty well.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Ja.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I mean he's good for almost a SACA game. Elis
is else another world man.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Like That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It's kind of funny because you look at this and
you're like, naturally, he's going to be the replacement for
Cooper when Cooper's contracts up and I can pay him again.
Becousta balling, But Jonah Ellis has also been balling, you know.
And then we got Nick Beanito over there. This is
like when the Broncos had Vaughn and then they had
Shane Ray.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
And DeMarcus where.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You know, like it was like you had uh.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
It was just like, oh, we got too many of these.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
But these are the problems that you definitely want to have.
I'd rather have these problems in trying to figure out
who to start, how to get what's there the right
rotation of guys, opposed to needing it and not actually
having it, and you're gonna have Jonah Ellas or Quinn
Robinson chie Robinson pushing Jonah Eilis for more playing time,
(13:16):
and it's only going to make both of those guys,
or even four of those guys much better from a
past rushing standpoint.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's it's we have a wealth
of riches at the edge rusher position, and I am happy.
I'm happy about that. Five six six cents of text
last six o five. If you watch Good Morning Football
this morning, you saw Manti Tayo actually played for Sean
Payton said he didn't believe it was intended to be
about russ. He said that Sean Payton wants to say
(13:43):
something to you, he will. He's not gonna speak in code.
So not everybody agrees it was a jab at Russell Wilson. Well,
I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm not taking Manti
Tayoe the guy who got fooled that somebody was his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
That wasn't.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I mean, like, with all due respect to Manti, but
you know he he's shown that he's pretty gullible.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
So he's saying that Manta has priors. He showed that
it's pretty best judge of the way to say, right,
that's what I'm not a great judge of challency, that's what.
That's what I'm getting that.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
It's like, look, Sean Payton would get the benefit of
it out for me if he hadn't done this half
a dozen times in the last two years, you know,
like we're all at the pressers where he's saying stuff like, yeah,
well when you got a real quarterback now, it makes
things that you know, that kind of stuff like it
would be it would be so much easier to believe
him if he hadn't already done this half a dozen
times that I know of, uh, and there may be more,
(14:33):
but I just like, off the top of my head,
I could think of five or six, and so like,
whether he did or didn't, like, you're not getting the
benefit of down on this, And that's why everybody's first
assumption was was what it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Was, Sean he is petty like that, He's always been
petty like that.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
This isn't new behavior, whether whether this one was intentional
or not.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Well, even with that assumption, how Russ perceived it to
be to make that sort of statement, Were you talking
about a guy who's normally really quiet when people are
attacking him, and he's been like the Piata for a
lot of either fans was playing his own former teammates
(15:12):
up there in Seattle, and you know, this is the
first time.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
He finally came out swinging.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And I think, I mean because I think Russ knows,
like some of that stuff that went down in Seattle,
like he was responsible for some of that.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
He was really responsible for anything.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And he didn't live up to a contract in Denver,
but he didn't do anything else to Denver. Russ never
bad mouthed anybody here. He wanted to work with Sean Payton.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Okay, So here's the tough thing about being a personal figure.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Everyone has a vision of what they want you to be.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
And Russ, whether you think it's real or it's fake
or whatever, he's living up to that part of it,
which makes him an easy target because usually he's going
to say and he's going to do the right things
no matter what, even if fans are bullying him.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
He's getting a lot of criticism.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Just like we saw him go to the podium, just
like the thing you hack it right and that then
you Hacket was kind of perceived as being that same
person because it was the same answers there or you're
not getting a spark from him, or you're not getting
him to go after his teammates, and he's not saying
anything bad. That's what people wanted him to do, which
made this whole back and forth between he and Sean
(16:21):
Payton very interesting because people drew a line both fans
immdiate both locally and nationally, and it was like, well,
it's almost almost like we were watching what was what
was that movie with with the teens and the Vampireslight Twilight?
You got to like Twilight.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
To baseball scene in that movie vampires. What how does
he know vampires or sparkly yes, yes.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
On theme whatever, But the whole idea it turned into
like team Peyton team Russ. And for me, I think
it's all bad when you when you think about it,
because I go back to something my mom said to me.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
If you don't have anything good to say about someone.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Don't say anything at all, right, And when you in
that position, they don't say anything. But you have to
know if you do. If you stroud of that line,
no matter how you try to manipulate it from a
world standpoint, individual is going to clip back.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I am very familiar with this guy stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I of all people, am very familiar with this cop
and it makes it real easy for me to spot
the guys that are doing it and try to be
phony about it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
On topic that said, I want to put a ball
on this and just say this.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It's weird that Sean Payton is still thinking about Russell
Wilson two years after he's gone, like, let it go, dude,
let it go. Quit mentioning him, quit doing the snide
stuff at the little press conferences, at then the podium stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Let it go.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Let's let's score points in the first three quarters, and
then we'll worry about what Russell Wilson so a back
up quarterback on another team two years removed from being
on this roster.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Yeah, just keep it about.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Keep the main thing the main thing, right, talk about
the team, talk about bo yep, how are you going
to proceeed moving forward? Facing the Dallas Cowboys, Paul Charchion,
when we'll.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Come back bringing on a guy.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Paul Charcion had Paul Charcian on the Twitter. Paul, another week,
yet another player.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Goes down for me.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Mike Evans now done for likely the season, it just
gets worse and worse over here. I'm out here literally
starting the Luke mccafferies and Ryan Flornoy's in the world.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Can you get Tess Johnson the you know, the direct
fill in for Mike Evans's be available, that would be
a possibility.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, We're waiting on our little waiver system to clear,
so I'm waiting to see if I guy, if I
bid enough to get him, that'll that'll be here a
few hours. So hopefully that's the case. But otherwise I'm
just shaking my head. Is this is an all timer
for me. I've had bad teams before, but I've never
had a team that's this injured.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I hate it when that happens, and part of its life, right,
I mean, you know you could have said, well, Mike
Evans at his age, you should have known better, Benjamin,
But you know the reality is that there's a lot
of luck in injury stuff. You just you just don't know. Now,
two of my favorite pickups in other leagues maybe not
as much there is right there in Denver, Marvin MEM's
(19:20):
Troy Franklin going up against by far the worst defense
in the league, and I just don't know if in
this market, those guys are going to be available. But
if they are, I mean, this is as good an
opportunity as it gets. Benjamin, let me give you this.
Think about how implausible it is for one defense to
do this. Allow the most passing yards, the most passing touchdowns,
(19:45):
the most opposing quarterback rushes, the most opposing quarterback rushing yards,
and the most opposing quarterback rushing touchdowns all in one defense.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
That is pretty staggeringly bad. I mean, they're bad, but
at least they also can't stop anything.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It's not just.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You know, somebody posted on Twitter earlier today and I
thought it was I thought it was hilarious. They said,
the number one offense in the nfls the Dallas Cowboys.
The number two offenses whoever is playing the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Yes, it's one hundred cent true. It's amazing. How up.
I don't know ever, that we've had a scenario where
we've had the number one defense and the or the
number one offense and the number thirty two defense on
the same team. That is hard to do, but one
kind of feeds the other. Right, if your defense is
so bad you're giving up forty points a game, well,
then your offense has to respond and that Dallas can
(20:33):
do that. They won't do it against your team, but
yes they can.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
So, Paul, would you encourage anyone who's out there and
their team is decimated by injuries and they're struggling like
one Benjamin Albright fantasy football team to pick up the
ageless wonder Joe Flecco after what we saw against the
Pittsburgh Stills.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Were you encouraged that move? Yes?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
He's my number thirteen rank quarterback this week. So I
like Flacco, I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
But the bigger story to me on Flacco is what were.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
The Branks thinking? How do you trade a guy in
your division when you still have you're still trying to
make the playoffs, and you're starting somebody who knows your
team still needs to face your own team that you
like enough to start at the beginning of the year.
And then Flacco just walks in and he knows what
every one of us would do, helps Jamar Chase with targets,
(21:26):
try I would do too, whind out. I mean, if
you're gonna go down, go down. Throwing the ball to
Jamar Chase. Flacco looked very comfortable in that offense, despite
missing his number one and number two tight ends, and
it makes you realize, just further proof that we don't
already know. But it all centers on your quarterback right
when they have Jake Browning back there, the entire Bengals
(21:48):
team and organization with feudal you throw Joe Flacco in
and just all you need is competence at the quarterback position,
and it's something the Bengals are favored to.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Win this weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, just accurate throws to that stud wider ress receiver.
I like to I have, you know for me, I'm like,
you know what, maybe there is a future for me
in this league after all, you know, I mean, you
know if maybe a forty four year old, washed, washed dude.
I am so there, just throwing up for Jamar Chase
every play. Our guy Gret Smith was telling me that,
(22:17):
you know, I guess one of the one reliable piece
I think I've had on my fantasy team so far
this year has been Alvin Kamara was saying that you
had some some insight on Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Well, you know, you never want to shovel dirt on
anybody's great Okay, So don't want to be clear, I'm
not calling it a career or saying Alvin Kamire has
never had another good game. But let's just talk about
where he is right now. He hasn't scored since Week one.
Over the past five weeks, Alvin Kamara averaging barely three
yards per carrie. He ranks twenty ninth in yards after contact,
(22:49):
He's not breaking tackles and also disappointing, one of the
greatest dual threat running backs you've ever seen isn't catching.
He is averaging eighteen receiving yards per game. That's it.
And next four games are all really hard, by the way,
and he's got a BUYE mixed in there. This is
this doesn't look like the same Alvin Kamara we've come
to know. And again, not calling it a career, but
(23:11):
I am saying he is not the automatic starter in
fantasy that he has been for the better part of
the last decade.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Well, there's a lot of teams, fantasy owners rather that
are that are out there suffering because teams are experiencing
some difficulties at the tight end position, and there were
not many good good tight ends to begin with. But
the selection is really slim now for someone looking to
I don't know stream tight ends from week to week.
(23:39):
Who's the guy out there that you may be eyeing
the same that's the guy that you need to pick up.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Tight End is always tricky. We've we've got six teams
on buy right now, so that is you know, that
is going to be an X factor this week as well,
and it makes it a thin position already tougher. I'm
going to give you two names. One probably already got
picked up yesterday or it's going to get picked up today,
and that's the Chargers rookie Arondez Gadsden. Now, some of
us rolling up for remembers dad when he played in Miami, Dadston, Yeah,
(24:08):
and he is. His dad was a wide receiver, basically
a Ronde Gadson junior, so wide receiver masquerading is a
tight end. He doesn't line up in line, he lines
up in the slot.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
He lines up outside.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
They're treating him like a basically like a wide receiver.
You can start him as a tight end. He does
put up one hundred and sixty four yards one tight
end had a one hundred and sixty four yard performance
all of last year. In Travis Kelcey's three year career, sorry,
thirteen year career. He only had three games, we had
(24:39):
one hundred and sixty four yards. So he is an
option the other guy that I'm pivoting to. And this
goes back to Benjamin talking about Mike Evans. When the
Bucks are short receivers, they turned to Kate Otten, a
tight end that is normally not somebody we'd start, but
we know they've we know Mike Evans isn't going to play.
They've already ruled out two other receivers for this game.
So this is and would be another guy, another streaming
(25:01):
DIY end you go pick up against the Saints. They
have allowed the fifth most points to opposing tight ends.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Good to know.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I did pick up Gadston since brock Bowers has not
been available for me all year. So I did pick
up gads and we'll see if it ends up working
out for me.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
There he said, you do like.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
The Broncos matchup?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I mean, obviously the Dallas Cowboys have been a bad
defense al here, you say you do like that that matchup?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Is there anybody that jumps out at you as the
guy to own in this offense this week?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
If you are starting one of the Broncos triumvit of
receivers Cortland Sutton.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
It's my guy anyway.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I'm a huge.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Courtland Sutton fan. I like the big body. I can
see him easily winning matchups, especially on the outside where
the where the Cowboys have been just killed. He can
use this size box out players win contestant catches. Honestly,
I'd like to see them go more too sudden than
they have. I just feel like you've got an alpha receiver,
big body guy that can beat most other players one
(25:57):
on one. I honestly, I'd like to see it can
get him more involved. But this is such a bad
secondary with no pass rush that I really think I
think Sutton is sitting on them. Just a tremendous game.
The Cowboys are allowing the most fantasy points to opposing
wide receivers.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
Well, Paul, I mean, speaking of this matchup on Sunday,
there is a guy making his Triumphy return Sam Pylefield,
and that would be Javonte Williams. I mean, what have
you seen from him from a fantasy standpoint that if
individuals have not picked him up, as to why they
should pick him up.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
He's never looked better, honestly than the version we're getting
of Javonte Williams now And you know, I'm not suggesting
that the Broncos made a mistake by letting him go,
because frankly, I would have to.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
And I think JK.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Dobbins and R. J. Harvey been a really good one too.
Gambo anyway, but he's he's looked really good breaking tackles.
He's done some of the shiftiness that we saw from
earlier parts in his career before ACL. And if you're
going to be your team, it's not through the air.
I'm not going to face that pass, right And I
don't want to have to try to beat your corners.
So the best way to beat your team is with
(27:07):
a sustained rushing attack and I think that's the game
plan the Cowboys are going to have here and that's
their best chance of winning. So I believe we're going
to see sixteen eighteen twenty carries from from Williams in
this game as they try to take command and just
beat this thing on the ground.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You know, one of the teams that I thought was
going to be I had said that Dallas would probably
surprise people this year. They probably surprised me with how
five hundred sho they've been the entire year.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I thought Arizona was going to be better than they were.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
All the pieces are there, it looks like it's but
something is wrong. Every time you watch that team play.
Something is just wrong with that offense. Is there anything
worth owning out of that offense?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Well, but you well tight it.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
What's wrong?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
It's Kyler Murray. I mean, that's that's the biggest problem.
They've got.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
That guy.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
You know, we've all seen it. Your team has seen
it close up. You know what a winner looks like
at the quarterback position. That's not Kyler Murray. That guy
doesn't in his DNA to be the kind of winner
and leader that quarterbacks have to be. You've got more
of it right now in bow Knicks in his second
year than Kyler Murray has shown. And it starts at
(28:13):
the quarterback position. But it doesn't just end there either.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
This was a middling.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Offense with eleven players that rolled into this last offseason.
They're probably the exact same eleven, including no number two
wide receiver. There is some front office malpractice in that
in that organization as well. And then adding injuries to
James Counter gets knocked out his back up Tray Benson
gets knocked out, and now they're just rotating dudes. And
(28:38):
at the running back position, the only the only cardinal
that really is special from a fantasy standpoint, And honestly,
you know, I wish they were I wish there were
more of them. It's Trey McBride, who's fantastic. You may
be a starter on thirty teams or thirty one teams
at the tight end position.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, we all familiar with tray here obviously played college
ball here at Colorado State. Paul Charchion Paul Charchian at
Paul Chartian on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
All, we appreciate it, Bud.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Thank you, my man. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, talk to you next week. Paul Charchi. You guys
follow him.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Follow him at Paul Charchian on Twitter. It's a good follow.
I promise block passes at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
How does Denver solve this issue?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Well, first off, teams have figured out that you're not
gonna sack bo.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
So what they're doing is they're having the defensive line and.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Rush and kind of watch his eyes and try to
put the hands up and but tumbo that thing. And
it worked the Giants, it worked for the Giants. Bo's
gonna look off receivers. You can't stare down guys because
then you're just reading your eyes and put the hand
up and blocking it like it's a basketball pass.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Right Like listen, we could talk about opposing you know,
defensive team and how they're being coached to play the Broncos,
But I think the bigger issue is just that Bo
is telegraphing some of his throws and being able to
look those receivers.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Or those defenders off to find open receiver.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
To me, that chain is a lot for him and
for me, I don't I don't know if you look
at it this way, Ben, but spreading the offense out
it opens it up right, So it gives Bowling opportunity
to see the defense pre snap and postnet where guys
are dropping. So he knows exactly Okay, well, here's the
(30:15):
first guy coming out of the huddle. As he approaching
whether I mean shotgun mostly is what he's in. He
knows exactly the matchup he wants. He can identify that
right away. I got the number two corner or the
nickelback on Colon Sudden and Sudden.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Is in the slot.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
But he's on the ball so you already know the
route he's going to run, and also you know the
compliment off of.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
That route, because when you.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Watch this Broncos offense, or hell, any offense for that matter,
is always a compliment.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
They're gonna have guys going from.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Right to left, left to right because they're trying to
confuse the coverage, whether you're in man or zone, they're
trying to take advantage of something. So that's one thing
that the Broncos, I believe will be able to do
again against awful Dallas defense who statistically they're at the
bottom in every single category.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
You saw a.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Little life from him in the last game that they played.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I likely you say a little life fight.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Well, if they were, they were da before that before that,
but you saw a little sign of life last week.
It's kind of funny because we're getting back to back
from the State of Texas. We're going to get back
to back games against the best offense and worst defense
and then the worst offense and best defense in the
Houston Texans.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
UH in back to back week.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
So it's gonna be some fascinating uh contrasting styles as
far as that kind of stuff goes. We'll get little
bit into, uh into more of that here in just
a minute.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Uh, I want to talk a little bit about the
bye week, did that?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Did that?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Hose us as well.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Plus you want to get into the how Kirk Signetti
is changing the uh the face of college football with
this contracts you guys, listen to Broncos Country Night right
here on Kaway
Five, six, six nine zero is the text line paul
O Charchie, I'm gonna join a six thirty talk.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
A little fantasy football. I need some help.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Mike Evans is down now my team. Just when you
think it can't get worse.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I finally I finally released Mike Evans from my team.
I held on to him all year, waiting for the
big comeback and then a season ending collar bone.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I put chariots of fire on dud dudun. Then I
just let him go, Just let him right off. Yeah,
it's it's been getting worse and worse. And on the
on the fantasy team, I'm steal a bit from our boss,
Dave Tepper. He's like, yeah, we got a players only
meeting and they decided to continue sucking.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
So I heard both of your teams suck.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, we're we're the bottom of the barrel of the
same league. And I barely edged him out because Smith
and Jigba had this monster game.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
He won me my matchup.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Moving on to six and one, Yeah, well much Yeah Smith,
that was the that's.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
The old healthy guy that I drafted.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I got to be like the eighth round or something
to do. I got him way late to everybody was
sleeping on him this year.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It was one of those ones that I got.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He's the only player I think of my first ten
draft picks that I still have on my team that
is that has not been hurt.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
Are you in the Dynasty League? No? Okay, So can
you work the waiver wire to pick up video the.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, I've got a second and third receiver behind Smith
and j but of Luke McCaffrey, who put a doughnut
up this week, and Ryan Floornoy. So's uh huh exactly exactly?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
How did you pick like that in your draft?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I didn't that would the waiver wire to get those
guys after Ceedee lamb Elak neighbors Mike Evans, Well, see
he's finally back.
Speaker 5 (01:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
I'm just saying I've been limping through with you know, Wow,
he was struggling.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I had Greg Dortsch one week. That's like Garrett Bowles.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Getting targets. I mean, who are your running backs?
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Pro?
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (02:01):
Who am I already becks it's did that sound like
you have any high volume guys?
Speaker 1 (02:05):
Got ramondre Stevenson, Alan Kamara, I think Wooding Marks and
Kamani vidals.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
By the way. Uh, Paul Charcion coming up here in
a little bit. He wants to talk about Alvin Kamara. Okay,
so make sure you ask him about I will, I will,
I will because I need to know if I need
to do something.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
It sounds like they need to do something. Hit care.
So I just saying, and.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
I got people to listen to the show that I
could trade him to if it's a fire sale.
Speaker 6 (02:31):
Look you should start looking right now. But I'm thinking
about your roster, and I'm like, did did you auto
draft your roster? No?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Wow, I live drafted that all got It would have
been a lot better. I live drafted.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
They just all got hurt.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
Man, Like it is.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
The is the walking wounded.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
My bench forever was just I mean, uh, hang on,
by the way, I play on our buddy BK this week.
So I had Ceedee Lamb injured, Calvin Ridley, who's been hurt,
Chris Godwin, who's been h who's been out? Evans So
I you know, I finally released. We had Elite Neighbors
was like my first overall pick. Brock Bauers, Like the
team is just like all wounded dudes.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
That's that's the all mass team. Right there.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Now I've got I've got Hin's gonna be out again.
So now I've got lambback Ridley uh and the only
other receiver I think I have Now I have Smith
and Jake, but he's on by this week. So I
had to go ahead and get Higgins from Houston and
that terrible offense, and I just hope that he could
come up with something.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Oh.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
You know, it's been one of those years, man, when
we've seen a lot of players get injured. And I
know we talk about, you know, NFL being a war
of attrition, and it is just that. And whether it's
your fantasy team or whether it's Denver Broncos or another
team that you root for living here in Denver, the
biggest thing.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
And this is why having depth is important.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
This is why developed drafting and developing players are so important,
because guys are going to get injured. When they get injured,
you need and want to step in. Think about what
happened with the Denver Broncos. Right they're only a third
guard right now. That third guard, so they can't sustain.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Fourth because Calvin Throckmore got to start at one practice. Okayo,
fourth guard.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
So so the Broncos cannot afford any more injuries in
my opinion, to their offensive line, especially the starting offensive line, because.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Chemistry is everything.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
Now this week against the Dallas Cowboys, they're not going
to face too much of I guess confrontation like they
faced against maybe the Jets or the New York Giants.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
So they should be they should be well.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
But when you start to get into the media to schedule,
you start playing Kansas City twice, you need to make
sure that your offensive line has that experience. But you
don't experience another injury. Grant you had something you want
to I.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Was just gonna say good news on the offensive line.
Mike McGlinchey full participant in practice today after that injury
scare on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (04:57):
Yeah, that'll be it'll be good to you.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Know, because he's had a couple of them where he's
come up didn't come up limp and twice in that game.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
Yeah, you know, so.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
That was one of those things.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I mean, if you have him go down, that means
Frank Crumb is the next man, and that is whatever
you think of Agalinshi, that is a significant downgrade at
the right tackle.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
It would be better, you know, once again, if you're
gonna have injuries on your offensive line, not to say
the knock on wood that you wanted to happen, but
you'd rather that take place here at home opposed to
on a row. And the reason I say that because
once you go on the road, you're dealing with a crown noise.
And we've seen the Broncos even at home, have maybe
false starts, delay of game penalties, or had to take
(05:39):
time outs because there's issues with the communication coming into bow.
And you take those three things magnified them by one
hundred when you talk about playing on the row.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
So hey, look, get it right, get right, get tight.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, it's like, what is that? Which one was that?
Which one was that? Which song was that?
Speaker 4 (06:01):
That's uh, Buba Sparks. Yes, that's body booty, Booty booty
rocking everywhere, boy rock everywhere. That's a name new Booty.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Bring it back to.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
I had forgotten about Bubba Sparks. Yes, I wish I
could forget about him again after that Saturday.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
No, you can't forget about that.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
You know somebody who can't forget about somebody? Sean Payton
can't forget about Russell Wilson, although he says this one
this time he wasn't actually talking about it.
Speaker 7 (06:34):
I did look and the euphoria the way that game unfolded,
that was strictly about Dart, I mean, and I that
was in no way, shape or form anything that was
directed at Russ. So and I might be able to
(06:57):
see how he might perceive that, but uh, coming off
that win in watching how he played, Yeah, that that
wasn't any intention at all.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
I don't think anybody's buying that.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
But you know that's what he That's what Sean Payton
needed to say in that instance, and you know it
ends there at that point. He has plausible deniability because
he didn't say Russ by name.
Speaker 6 (07:24):
Well did that would mean that every one from a
national standpoint just injected their own perspective or and interpret it.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Well, I mean, the the obvious joke here is that
or the obvious that you know, everybody's first assumption was
that he was talking about Russ.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
It wasn't just Russ, it was everyone that assumed that.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Well, and and listen man like like Coe said that
he can easily see how Russ thought that, right, Yeah,
And the reason being because there were things that may
have been said in the past or in passing, and
as it pertains to Russ in his time here with
with the Broncos. For me, you treated like an ex lover.
(08:07):
I mean, we did our thing, we had our time.
Now it's over. We moved on, you moved on. There's
no need to even revisit it. That's the way I
look at it. Why why are you looking at me
like that? Oh you're not burning the world to the ground.
Speaker 4 (08:19):
You're not.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
This is not you know, you're not going scorched earth.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
It's over.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
So I'm naplving this thing into the It's done.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
It's over. I mean, look, I don't know if I
had next that did that.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I mean I have I think everyone knows that.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Let me see Nick Ferguson, Vizeman or Bright. I think
it leans heavy the skills I've just said.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Have you ever had an ex that like went like
scorched earth after it was over?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
You don't have to name my name, but I.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Meancause I mean, okay, what what's the definition of scorched earth?
Are we talking about kid in your car and doing
stuff like that?
Speaker 1 (08:47):
I mean, if those things occurred, But I'm just saying
with somebody that went you know, it was not a
pleasant breakup at the end, you know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Uh, No, fortunate for me.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
I've never been in those situations like that before. But
I know some guys, both guys who are players and
non players, who's.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Gone through it.
Speaker 6 (09:09):
So they say, so some guys want to take out
some restraining orders. Right, It's been that bad for certain guys,
but never for me. But the idea is that what
you break up, you broke up restraining order. By the way,
it is it really hard to get difficult, dude, to
get a restraining list.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Really, it's like really difficult to get one and get
them to enforce it.
Speaker 6 (09:30):
So you have to go down to the courthouse, Yes,
and you have to get the person's name and see
Grit set up in his.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
Chair like he's like he's experienced this before.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I have, and I just might know someone who has
that might be sitting not to speak on any legal term. Wow, Okay,
I didn't really realize the restraining order was that difficult.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
You gotta like, like, you gotta go down to the courthouse.
They gotta termine elgibill. Do you got to take evidence
down for whom you gotta determine if you're if they're eligible,
you gotta demonstrate that.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
You're in danger of harm or reparable damage.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And then you know they have to give them like photos,
medical records, any threatening communications, you try to get witness statements.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Then you gotta fight.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
You gotta go to the appropriate court file of petition.
The court's gotta review it.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
They gotta serve process on the person, and then you
have to have a full hearing.
Speaker 6 (10:25):
This is this is this is, this is too much.
By this time, something has already happened to someone and
now we're talking about what we could have done or
should have done instead of doing it. I mean, when
you said you have to show medical records, do we
need stab and gunshot wolves?
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I mean they they like there were like there was
a whole lot that. Okay, there was also someone that
I know had to go through but you wait, wait.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Went yeah, it was it was and.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Then it then it only lasts didn't even last that
long like the original like it's a restraining order early
it didn't last very long.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
With that being said, well, sould Dak Prescott start his restraining.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Order right now for Nick Benito and Johnathan Cooper start
now it's too late.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
No, No, I mean it takes a couple of days, right,
the game is not until Sunday. He has a He's
has a lot of time to call here in Denver.
Take out call Mayor Mike Johnson. Try to get an
expedite at uh you know Brange.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Yeah, I'm just in effective a college.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You do you guys see what's the weather lady over
Fox thirty one? Uh, Kylie burse Oh yeah, that was
a crazy story.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yeah, she had a situation where she had a restraining order.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
The dude still showed up at her house in a
truck and they couldn't she couldn't get anything done about it.
Speaker 6 (11:40):
Okay, what's the use of having laws and policies if
they're not literally enforced? Right, It's it's a restraining order.
Someone is threatening my life in some way, and I
am looking to the law to figure this out and
they're not gonna do it.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I mean.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So I don't want to get political on this one,
but I'm a big two second Amendment guy, So.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Just saying, wow, Well.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
So much for you, Dak Prescott. I guess you might
be might be in trouble.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Yes, might be in trouble since those irrestraining orders don't work,
John Cooper, Nick Bonito, they coming for you, maybe even
Jonah Ellis.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
He was limited today. Yeah, that's big news. Yeah, you
played pretty well though, I thought you.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Robinson played really well. Yeah, I thought I thought he
did play pretty well.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
Ja.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I mean he's good for almost a SACA game. Elis
is else another world man.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
Like That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It's kind of funny because you look at this and
you're like, naturally, he's going to be the replacement for
Cooper when Cooper's contracts up and I can pay him again.
Becousta balling, But Jonah Ellis has also been balling, you know.
And then we got Nick Beanito over there. This is
like when the Broncos had Vaughn and then they had
Shane Ray.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
And DeMarcus where.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
You know, like it was like you had uh.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
It was just like, oh, we got too many of these.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
But these are the problems that you definitely want to have.
I'd rather have these problems in trying to figure out
who to start, how to get what's there the right
rotation of guys, opposed to needing it and not actually
having it, and you're gonna have Jonah Ellas or Quinn
Robinson chie Robinson pushing Jonah Eilis for more playing time,
(13:16):
and it's only going to make both of those guys,
or even four of those guys much better from a
past rushing standpoint.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, it's it's we have a wealth
of riches at the edge rusher position, and I am happy.
I'm happy about that. Five six six cents of text
last six o five. If you watch Good Morning Football
this morning, you saw Manti Tayo actually played for Sean
Payton said he didn't believe it was intended to be
about russ. He said that Sean Payton wants to say
(13:43):
something to you, he will. He's not gonna speak in code.
So not everybody agrees it was a jab at Russell Wilson. Well,
I'm gonna be honest with you. I'm not taking Manti
Tayoe the guy who got fooled that somebody was his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
That wasn't.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I mean, like, with all due respect to Manti, but
you know he he's shown that he's pretty gullible.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
So he's saying that Manta has priors. He showed that
it's pretty best judge of the way to say, right,
that's what I'm not a great judge of challency, that's what.
That's what I'm getting that.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
It's like, look, Sean Payton would get the benefit of
it out for me if he hadn't done this half
a dozen times in the last two years, you know,
like we're all at the pressers where he's saying stuff like, yeah,
well when you got a real quarterback now, it makes
things that you know, that kind of stuff like it
would be it would be so much easier to believe
him if he hadn't already done this half a dozen
times that I know of, uh, and there may be more,
(14:33):
but I just like, off the top of my head,
I could think of five or six, and so like,
whether he did or didn't, like, you're not getting the
benefit of down on this, And that's why everybody's first
assumption was was what it.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Was, Sean he is petty like that, He's always been
petty like that.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
This isn't new behavior, whether whether this one was intentional
or not.
Speaker 6 (14:50):
Well, even with that assumption, how Russ perceived it to
be to make that sort of statement, Were you talking
about a guy who's normally really quiet when people are
attacking him, and he's been like the Piata for a
lot of either fans was playing his own former teammates
(15:12):
up there in Seattle, and you know, this is the
first time.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
He finally came out swinging.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
And I think, I mean because I think Russ knows,
like some of that stuff that went down in Seattle,
like he was responsible for some of that.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
He was really responsible for anything.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
And he didn't live up to a contract in Denver,
but he didn't do anything else to Denver. Russ never
bad mouthed anybody here. He wanted to work with Sean Payton.
Speaker 6 (15:32):
Okay, So here's the tough thing about being a personal figure.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Everyone has a vision of what they want you to be.
Speaker 6 (15:40):
And Russ, whether you think it's real or it's fake
or whatever, he's living up to that part of it,
which makes him an easy target because usually he's going
to say and he's going to do the right things
no matter what, even if fans are bullying him.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
He's getting a lot of criticism.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Just like we saw him go to the podium, just
like the thing you hack it right and that then
you Hacket was kind of perceived as being that same
person because it was the same answers there or you're
not getting a spark from him, or you're not getting
him to go after his teammates, and he's not saying
anything bad. That's what people wanted him to do, which
made this whole back and forth between he and Sean
(16:21):
Payton very interesting because people drew a line both fans
immdiate both locally and nationally, and it was like, well,
it's almost almost like we were watching what was what
was that movie with with the teens and the Vampireslight Twilight?
You got to like Twilight.
Speaker 8 (16:43):
To baseball scene in that movie vampires. What how does
he know vampires or sparkly yes, yes.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
On theme whatever, But the whole idea it turned into
like team Peyton team Russ. And for me, I think
it's all bad when you when you think about it,
because I go back to something my mom said to me.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
If you don't have anything good to say about someone.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Don't say anything at all, right, And when you in
that position, they don't say anything. But you have to
know if you do. If you stroud of that line,
no matter how you try to manipulate it from a
world standpoint, individual is going to clip back.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I am very familiar with this guy stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I of all people, am very familiar with this cop
and it makes it real easy for me to spot
the guys that are doing it and try to be
phony about it.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
On topic that said, I want to put a ball
on this and just say this.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
It's weird.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
It's weird that Sean Payton is still thinking about Russell
Wilson two years after he's gone, like, let it go, dude,
let it go. Quit mentioning him, quit doing the snide
stuff at the little press conferences, at then the podium stuff.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Let it go.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Let's let's score points in the first three quarters, and
then we'll worry about what Russell Wilson so a back
up quarterback on another team two years removed from being
on this roster.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Yeah, just keep it about.
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Keep the main thing the main thing, right, talk about
the team, talk about bo yep, how are you going
to proceeed moving forward? Facing the Dallas Cowboys, Paul Charchion,
when we'll.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Come back bringing on a guy.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Paul Charcion had Paul Charcian on the Twitter. Paul, another week,
yet another player.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Goes down for me.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Mike Evans now done for likely the season, it just
gets worse and worse over here. I'm out here literally
starting the Luke mccafferies and Ryan Flornoy's in the world.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Can you get Tess Johnson the you know, the direct
fill in for Mike Evans's be available, that would be
a possibility.
Speaker 1 (18:41):
Yeah, We're waiting on our little waiver system to clear,
so I'm waiting to see if I guy, if I
bid enough to get him, that'll that'll be here a
few hours. So hopefully that's the case. But otherwise I'm
just shaking my head. Is this is an all timer
for me. I've had bad teams before, but I've never
had a team that's this injured.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
I hate it when that happens, and part of its life, right,
I mean, you know you could have said, well, Mike
Evans at his age, you should have known better, Benjamin,
But you know the reality is that there's a lot
of luck in injury stuff. You just you just don't know. Now,
two of my favorite pickups in other leagues maybe not
as much there is right there in Denver, Marvin MEM's
(19:20):
Troy Franklin going up against by far the worst defense
in the league, and I just don't know if in
this market, those guys are going to be available. But
if they are, I mean, this is as good an
opportunity as it gets. Benjamin, let me give you this.
Think about how implausible it is for one defense to
do this. Allow the most passing yards, the most passing touchdowns,
(19:45):
the most opposing quarterback rushes, the most opposing quarterback rushing yards,
and the most opposing quarterback rushing touchdowns all in one defense.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
That is pretty staggeringly bad. I mean, they're bad, but
at least they also can't stop anything.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
It's not just.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
You know, somebody posted on Twitter earlier today and I
thought it was I thought it was hilarious. They said,
the number one offense in the nfls the Dallas Cowboys.
The number two offenses whoever is playing the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 5 (20:11):
Yes, it's one hundred cent true. It's amazing. How up.
I don't know ever, that we've had a scenario where
we've had the number one defense and the or the
number one offense and the number thirty two defense on
the same team. That is hard to do, but one
kind of feeds the other. Right, if your defense is
so bad you're giving up forty points a game, well,
then your offense has to respond and that Dallas can
(20:33):
do that. They won't do it against your team, but
yes they can.
Speaker 6 (20:37):
So, Paul, would you encourage anyone who's out there and
their team is decimated by injuries and they're struggling like
one Benjamin Albright fantasy football team to pick up the
ageless wonder Joe Flecco after what we saw against the
Pittsburgh Stills.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Were you encouraged that move? Yes?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
He's my number thirteen rank quarterback this week. So I
like Flacco, I mean.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
But the bigger story to me on Flacco is what were.
Speaker 5 (21:04):
The Branks thinking? How do you trade a guy in
your division when you still have you're still trying to
make the playoffs, and you're starting somebody who knows your
team still needs to face your own team that you
like enough to start at the beginning of the year.
And then Flacco just walks in and he knows what
every one of us would do, helps Jamar Chase with targets,
(21:26):
try I would do too, whind out. I mean, if
you're gonna go down, go down. Throwing the ball to
Jamar Chase. Flacco looked very comfortable in that offense, despite
missing his number one and number two tight ends, and
it makes you realize, just further proof that we don't
already know. But it all centers on your quarterback right
when they have Jake Browning back there, the entire Bengals
(21:48):
team and organization with feudal you throw Joe Flacco in
and just all you need is competence at the quarterback position,
and it's something the Bengals are favored to.
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Win this weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Yeah, just accurate throws to that stud wider ress receiver.
I like to I have, you know for me, I'm like,
you know what, maybe there is a future for me
in this league after all, you know, I mean, you
know if maybe a forty four year old, washed, washed dude.
I am so there, just throwing up for Jamar Chase
every play. Our guy Gret Smith was telling me that,
(22:17):
you know, I guess one of the one reliable piece
I think I've had on my fantasy team so far
this year has been Alvin Kamara was saying that you
had some some insight on Alvin Kamara.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Well, you know, you never want to shovel dirt on
anybody's great Okay, So don't want to be clear, I'm
not calling it a career or saying Alvin Kamire has
never had another good game. But let's just talk about
where he is right now. He hasn't scored since Week one.
Over the past five weeks, Alvin Kamara averaging barely three
yards per carrie. He ranks twenty ninth in yards after contact,
(22:49):
He's not breaking tackles and also disappointing, one of the
greatest dual threat running backs you've ever seen isn't catching.
He is averaging eighteen receiving yards per game. That's it.
And next four games are all really hard, by the way,
and he's got a BUYE mixed in there. This is
this doesn't look like the same Alvin Kamara we've come
to know. And again, not calling it a career, but
(23:11):
I am saying he is not the automatic starter in
fantasy that he has been for the better part of
the last decade.
Speaker 6 (23:18):
Well, there's a lot of teams, fantasy owners rather that
are that are out there suffering because teams are experiencing
some difficulties at the tight end position, and there were
not many good good tight ends to begin with. But
the selection is really slim now for someone looking to
I don't know stream tight ends from week to week.
(23:39):
Who's the guy out there that you may be eyeing
the same that's the guy that you need to pick up.
Speaker 5 (23:45):
Tight End is always tricky. We've we've got six teams
on buy right now, so that is you know, that
is going to be an X factor this week as well,
and it makes it a thin position already tougher. I'm
going to give you two names. One probably already got
picked up yesterday or it's going to get picked up today,
and that's the Chargers rookie Arondez Gadsden. Now, some of
us rolling up for remembers dad when he played in Miami, Dadston, Yeah,
(24:08):
and he is. His dad was a wide receiver, basically
a Ronde Gadson junior, so wide receiver masquerading is a
tight end. He doesn't line up in line, he lines
up in the slot.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
He lines up outside.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
They're treating him like a basically like a wide receiver.
You can start him as a tight end. He does
put up one hundred and sixty four yards one tight
end had a one hundred and sixty four yard performance
all of last year. In Travis Kelcey's three year career, sorry,
thirteen year career. He only had three games, we had
(24:39):
one hundred and sixty four yards. So he is an
option the other guy that I'm pivoting to. And this
goes back to Benjamin talking about Mike Evans. When the
Bucks are short receivers, they turned to Kate Otten, a
tight end that is normally not somebody we'd start, but
we know they've we know Mike Evans isn't going to play.
They've already ruled out two other receivers for this game.
So this is and would be another guy, another streaming
(25:01):
DIY end you go pick up against the Saints. They
have allowed the fifth most points to opposing tight ends.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Good to know.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I did pick up Gadston since brock Bowers has not
been available for me all year. So I did pick
up gads and we'll see if it ends up working
out for me.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
There he said, you do like.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
The Broncos matchup?
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I mean, obviously the Dallas Cowboys have been a bad
defense al here, you say you do like that that matchup?
Speaker 2 (25:24):
Is there anybody that jumps out at you as the
guy to own in this offense this week?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
If you are starting one of the Broncos triumvit of
receivers Cortland Sutton.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
It's my guy anyway.
Speaker 4 (25:35):
I'm a huge.
Speaker 5 (25:36):
Courtland Sutton fan. I like the big body. I can
see him easily winning matchups, especially on the outside where
the where the Cowboys have been just killed. He can
use this size box out players win contestant catches. Honestly,
I'd like to see them go more too sudden than
they have. I just feel like you've got an alpha receiver,
big body guy that can beat most other players one
(25:57):
on one. I honestly, I'd like to see it can
get him more involved. But this is such a bad
secondary with no pass rush that I really think I
think Sutton is sitting on them. Just a tremendous game.
The Cowboys are allowing the most fantasy points to opposing
wide receivers.
Speaker 6 (26:14):
Well, Paul, I mean, speaking of this matchup on Sunday,
there is a guy making his Triumphy return Sam Pylefield,
and that would be Javonte Williams. I mean, what have
you seen from him from a fantasy standpoint that if
individuals have not picked him up, as to why they
should pick him up.
Speaker 5 (26:32):
He's never looked better, honestly than the version we're getting
of Javonte Williams now And you know, I'm not suggesting
that the Broncos made a mistake by letting him go,
because frankly, I would have to.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
And I think JK.
Speaker 5 (26:44):
Dobbins and R. J. Harvey been a really good one too.
Gambo anyway, but he's he's looked really good breaking tackles.
He's done some of the shiftiness that we saw from
earlier parts in his career before ACL. And if you're
going to be your team, it's not through the air.
I'm not going to face that pass, right And I
don't want to have to try to beat your corners.
So the best way to beat your team is with
(27:07):
a sustained rushing attack and I think that's the game
plan the Cowboys are going to have here and that's
their best chance of winning. So I believe we're going
to see sixteen eighteen twenty carries from from Williams in
this game as they try to take command and just
beat this thing on the ground.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
You know, one of the teams that I thought was
going to be I had said that Dallas would probably
surprise people this year. They probably surprised me with how
five hundred sho they've been the entire year.
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I thought Arizona was going to be better than they were.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
All the pieces are there, it looks like it's but
something is wrong. Every time you watch that team play.
Something is just wrong with that offense. Is there anything
worth owning out of that offense?
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Well, but you well tight it.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
What's wrong?
Speaker 5 (27:47):
It's Kyler Murray. I mean, that's that's the biggest problem.
They've got.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
That guy.
Speaker 5 (27:51):
You know, we've all seen it. Your team has seen
it close up. You know what a winner looks like
at the quarterback position. That's not Kyler Murray. That guy
doesn't in his DNA to be the kind of winner
and leader that quarterbacks have to be. You've got more
of it right now in bow Knicks in his second
year than Kyler Murray has shown. And it starts at
(28:13):
the quarterback position. But it doesn't just end there either.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
This was a middling.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Offense with eleven players that rolled into this last offseason.
They're probably the exact same eleven, including no number two
wide receiver. There is some front office malpractice in that
in that organization as well. And then adding injuries to
James Counter gets knocked out his back up Tray Benson
gets knocked out, and now they're just rotating dudes. And
(28:38):
at the running back position, the only the only cardinal
that really is special from a fantasy standpoint, And honestly,
you know, I wish they were I wish there were
more of them. It's Trey McBride, who's fantastic. You may
be a starter on thirty teams or thirty one teams
at the tight end position.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, we all familiar with tray here obviously played college
ball here at Colorado State. Paul Charchion Paul Charchian at
Paul Chartian on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (29:01):
All, we appreciate it, Bud.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
Thank you, my man. We'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah, talk to you next week. Paul Charchi. You guys
follow him.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Follow him at Paul Charchian on Twitter. It's a good follow.
I promise block passes at the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
How does Denver solve this issue?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Well, first off, teams have figured out that you're not
gonna sack bo.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
So what they're doing is they're having the defensive line and.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Rush and kind of watch his eyes and try to
put the hands up and but tumbo that thing. And
it worked the Giants, it worked for the Giants. Bo's
gonna look off receivers. You can't stare down guys because
then you're just reading your eyes and put the hand
up and blocking it like it's a basketball pass.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
Right Like listen, we could talk about opposing you know,
defensive team and how they're being coached to play the Broncos,
But I think the bigger issue is just that Bo
is telegraphing some of his throws and being able to
look those receivers.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Or those defenders off to find open receiver.
Speaker 6 (29:53):
To me, that chain is a lot for him and
for me, I don't I don't know if you look
at it this way, Ben, but spreading the offense out
it opens it up right, So it gives Bowling opportunity
to see the defense pre snap and postnet where guys
are dropping. So he knows exactly Okay, well, here's the
(30:15):
first guy coming out of the huddle. As he approaching
whether I mean shotgun mostly is what he's in. He
knows exactly the matchup he wants. He can identify that
right away. I got the number two corner or the
nickelback on Colon Sudden and Sudden.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Is in the slot.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
But he's on the ball so you already know the
route he's going to run, and also you know the
compliment off of.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
That route, because when you.
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Watch this Broncos offense, or hell, any offense for that matter,
is always a compliment.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
They're gonna have guys going from.
Speaker 6 (30:47):
Right to left, left to right because they're trying to
confuse the coverage, whether you're in man or zone, they're
trying to take advantage of something. So that's one thing
that the Broncos, I believe will be able to do
again against awful Dallas defense who statistically they're at the
bottom in every single category.
Speaker 4 (31:07):
You saw a.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Little life from him in the last game that they played.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
I likely you say a little life fight.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Well, if they were, they were da before that before that,
but you saw a little sign of life last week.
It's kind of funny because we're getting back to back
from the State of Texas. We're going to get back
to back games against the best offense and worst defense
and then the worst offense and best defense in the
Houston Texans.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
UH in back to back week.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
So it's gonna be some fascinating uh contrasting styles as
far as that kind of stuff goes. We'll get little
bit into, uh into more of that here in just
a minute.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Uh, I want to talk a little bit about the
bye week, did that?
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Did that?
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Hose us as well.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Plus you want to get into the how Kirk Signetti
is changing the uh the face of college football with
this contracts you guys, listen to Broncos Country Night right

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
