Speaker 1 (00:04):
I own sting with Shane's harder taking a look at
some of the NFL headlines around. By the way, I
would not be a show of the fanatics if we
didn't bring up shud Or Sanders.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Right, So, did you know this, Shane?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
That the Ravens actually planned on taking him in the
fifth round, which I think it was like one hundred
and forty first pick, and Sanders, I guess, politely declined,
did you.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Did you hear this?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
I've read the story. I don't know exactly like how
interest they were necessarily.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
But they were planning to draft him, right, But the
Colorado Star let it be known to Baltimore directly that
he didn't want to be on the roster with Lamar Jackson.
Who do the Browns play today? Oh, that's right, they
play the Ravens. Did you know that today, Shane?
Speaker 4 (00:57):
I did know that.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Don't you think that Lamar jack might have a couple
of things to say? And isn't it kind of funny
that this article comes out over the weekend that Shador
Sanders said no to Baltimore the game.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Yeah, right before the game. It's not like Sanders is
gonna play today.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Let's be real he's already been inactive. Yeah, he's on
the an active list.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
He could be a backup.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
You'd think he would have been a backup, Like would
he be the number two guy in Baltimore.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
No, Well, the first off, they signed Cooper Rush to
a big deal. Get that he was he wasn't gonna
be he was gonna be a third guy.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Maybe he would have been in uniform today instead of
being inactive maybe I mean connected boom, you know.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
Well not.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
The thing is, the thing with shador is is that
and this stuff that we've talked about. He has a
very he has an obvious skill set that gives him
a high ceiling. The problem is this, like a lot
of the intangibles and other stuff like that makes it
gives him a very low floor.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
And sometimes it ain't.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Necessarily is playing the field, whether it's you know, running
away from past rushers and losing ten yards on a
sack or trying to make a play that's not there,
forcing the ball into double coverage, it's that, it's this
other stuff. It's and it's okay to be confident, but
there's a fine line between confident and cocky and sometimes
and Nico, Yeah, Maleva, I hope you listen to a
piece of advice too.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Be careful who you get your advice from.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Sometimes, because Nico today after UCLA lost again, they might
be on twelve by the end of the year. They
have a hard schedule. They he might be you know,
he might be in the same situation that Shador's in. No,
be careful, to be careful you get you get your
advice from.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, and a couple injury news and notes of the
NFL too. Brock Bowers for those of you having him
on your fantasy me he's listed as questionable today. He
was actually back on the field yesterday after missing practice
uh for the Raiders Thursday and Friday. Now, forty nine
er fans, listen up, brock perty Yeah, he ain't playing.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
And then Kittle. How long is Kittle out?
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Three to five weeks?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Three to five weeks, So those of you that have
Kittle on your fantasy roster should probably move him off
your roster today. Vanessa Martin, being one of those in
our fantasy draft, I keep seeing it on the draft board.
I'm like, hey, you want to play a guy that's
not gonna play.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I get it. I understand.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'm happy for coach Shanahan. He gets to finally play mccorkyl.
Yeah that's his name, by the way, mccorkel.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
By the way, in Kansas City, Xavier Worthy listed out
today in the Super Bowl rematch.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Whose fault was that?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Or the Internet says it's Taylor Swiss fault.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, well they she should make a song about it.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
But Travis Kelcey actually he Travis Kelcey actually took fault
for this. He said it was his fault. You know,
poor Xavier Worthy. I know because did you see also
the podcast where I think Taylor Swift was actually like
so like engraved with Xavier Worthy. She's up and down,
screaming down the hallways, and then you see like Kelsey's
face like uh. And then in week one you see
(03:49):
that Kelsey misssteps on a route. Of course he does,
because he's done that his whole career.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
He's a mediocre tight end and.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
Nobody could ever Yes, he is, stop you right there,
because you're a mediocre talk And then a few good
in that Super Bowl, didn't he He looked really great
the Chargers in week one.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
By the way, Patrick Mahomes his little over twenty yard passes,
believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You think it's gone up or down over the last
five seasons.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Down? Yeah, way down, down, definitely down.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
Why because Patrick Mahomes is getting figured out Kirmity frog here,
you know, so he's just bit you know, That's what
we're gonna see. Because again, we have the super Bowl
matchup this afternoon, which, by the way, uh Sunday night football,
you should have swapped this game, yeah, you know, because
you've got Atlanta and Minnesota later on tonight in a
(04:38):
who cares game, and then you've got Kansas City and
Philadelphia at three point thirty in the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Yeah, that should have been a prime time But I
think I think the reason Atlanta Minnesota is gonna be prime
time is because they got two guys who well they
didn't really play the rookie year. McCarthy played a little
with the preseason, then got hurt Pegs played at the end.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Of last year, and now they're both the guy.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah, and when we get our we get our picks
later on, I'll tell you exactly how it's gonna go.
But I see why they did that. We have too,
you have two Monday night games tomorrow. You could have
at least that's kind of weird to me.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
They should have done that in week one, but I
think we didn't do it in week one because we
had the Friday night game in Brazil.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Uh, And so again we'll get into the Texas here
in a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
But how do you feel about the international games? By
the way, I think of our asked.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You, I don't mind them.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I mean, I think for a season ticket holder it sucks.
But because you're kind of losing out on that one
game I think believe was that a Kansas No, Yeah,
that was a Kansas City home game.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Yeah, I think that. I think that was a Chargers
home game. Oh wait, you're right. It was the Charge
But they had the Chiefs in the end zone, which it's.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Weird, but they on the in the background, they had
the Chargers and then like the the announcer. And they
do this in England too, when they go across the pond,
whoever's home game it is, it's their stadium.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
So I get it.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
But Okay, eventually we're going to see a super Bowl
in Brazil, we'll probably see one in England, and we'll
probably see one in Canada. Abu Dhabi, you know, one
of those things, you know, But again, the Super Bowl
is different compared to boxing. I think that boxing needs
to state in the United States of America.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I think that the international games are okay if for
the preseason, right.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And then the bad news for the Commanders. Did you
see that non contact injury for Austin, Yeah, torn Achilles.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
He's done for the season.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
Honestly, I think he's done for his career.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
He'll be back, but the rally is his age and
the position he plays and the type of injury he
has is it just basically equals out to your career
is not going to be what it once was. He's
gonna be a guy that's gonna be like a camp
invite and he won't be an effective option anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
And by the way, for you fantasy owners that have
had the kicker Young Hoku.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Out of Atlanta, way, Coo.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
No, we're gonna go Young Hoku because it's funnier. And
here's the thing. He's out today with a not injury.
He's the because he missed a field goal last week.
So Parker Romo will have the kicking duties for the
Falcons tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Again.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Coo missed a forty four yard attempt in the final
seconds that would have tied the game against the Bucks
last week. So again, kickers man, you say that they're
not important, dude, they're kicking for their life, bro. Like you,
if you miss a field goal, Bro, you're cut. You're
not going back on that bus or the plane. Because
it's the NFL. They don't buss around. But you know
(07:20):
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
So you know.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
And another thing for the Eagles today, which this is
gonna be a good game. Kansas City and Philadelphia. What's
his name? The tight end for Dallas what dous got it?
He's out, Yes, he is knee injury.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Yeah, and they're passing attack last week went all that
great either, but Dallas Goddard was the one guy that was.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Consistently getting open.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
And against Kansas City, for all their faults, they do
have players on defense, especially in the secondary.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
So I think this would be another ground game for Philly.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
And you Pittsburgh fans. Joey Porter Junior, he's out today
as well. He's gonna be missing the game. A couple
other ones, Like I said, tight end George Kittle out,
Brock Purty out, Trent Williams. The tackle is questionable today
for the forty nine ers, I'm telling you forty nine
ers in Saints game that let's just call that the
recovery game, because that you might as well have the
(08:09):
eer ready because there's so many people out. Chase Young
for the Saints is out, Trevor Penning where a toe injury,
is out, black Man with the shoulder, he's out as
well for the Saints.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
You know so again.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
And then the worst team in the NFL, sorry, James,
the Miami Dolphins. Everybody's out. Everybody's out for the Miami Dolphins.
Austin Jackson he's out, Darren Waller out, Benito Jones he's out,
Storm Duck the cornerback, he's out. Now the couple doubtful players,
Jalen Wright, Ethan Bonner, and then of course Ashton Davis.
That's the longest list of injuries in the NFL, Shane
(08:44):
is the Miami.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Dolphins's like eleven players. I think that's a lot of people.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It's only one week.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
If I was a week too, if I'm the Dolphins,
and I know Tua said he wouldn't do it, even
though I think he, of all people, probably needs to
do it the most.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
He needs to wear the Guardian cap. They need to
force him to wear.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
They make that thing look better. No, it's just it's terrible.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's not about fashion. It's about safety, and I get it.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
It's but it looks weird.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Man, it doesn't matter. It's about safety. Safety not supposed
to be cool.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
I know it's not supposed to be cool.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
But you know, uh, Dmitri is flanning in fouls of
the Giants today. Linebacker, he's out today. So again I'll
go back to the Cowboys. There's no excuse today. There
is absolutely no excuse that by the time I get
down to where I'm gonna go watch the game today,
the Cowboys should already be up seven to nothing.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
I think I know where you're going. I think I
know where you're leaning in that game.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
You might so.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Coming up next, it is the Fanatics edition of NFL
Week two Picks.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Trust me take it to the bank. I'm gonna make
you rich.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Not really, That's all next on the Fanatics on Ticket
seven to sixty
