Top-level fantasy football and NFL betting analysis from every perspective and angle, from numbers to the film room, with a single goal to help you score more fantasy points. Here we go. Back with another edition of the Matchup podcast here at FantasyPoint.com, week three edition. I am John Hanson, but the star, the podcast is Greg CoSell, our guy from NFL films, been at it for over 40 years now, and really bored, you know, just sat down on Monday morning and got to work.

Went through a ton of tape. We're recording this on Wednesday night. So Greg has had, you know, three good days of grinding here, plenty of content to get to. This is just a little bit of a taste of what Greg can bring to the table. All the stats and data that we've done. We have, we're cultivating right now for 2022 here at fantasypoints.com. We can marry that with Greg's film study and all that. And if you're not on the website, get there right now.

Without any further ado, we will do about 30 minutes tonight. We could probably do an hour and 30 minutes, no problem. but how are you? A lot of grinding this week, I see. Oh, man, John, you know, it's funny. It's only going into week three. And early in the season, as I know you appreciate because we discussed this every year,

I want to get through as much as I can, but it's just not humanly possible for me to do every game. And then I get to the end of the week. Like last weekend, I worked Saturday and Sunday morning because I just wanted to get through more games, you know, and I sent you those, I think, on Sunday morning. And, you know, it is what it is. I, as you know, I do the best I can. And I have to take those detailed, copious notes because that's just the way I have to do it.

Big time notes here. And sometimes we actually publish them on the site, clean it up a little bit, I guess, for publishing purposes. And you could see the... I don't like I like to make, you know, put curse words in there when you say clean it up. Oh, yeah, yeah, exactly. Don't do that. Yeah, we have to remove all the expletives that were in there.

Right, right, right. Well, to the point of you're only one person, I do. not believe you've seen Pittsburgh or Cleveland yet. No, I have not. Yeah. And I won't because to be honest, they're not on this particular week just because of other things I really feel like I need to get to. Yeah, no, no problem. And probably haven't seen New Orleans and in Carol. I will get to. I just haven't gotten to it yet because I think those division games I like to get to. Let's go right over to Philly because obviously, Greg, it's going really. It's going really. really well. And, you know, we did the podcast last week. And I think you kind of intimated that,

you know, probably saw a lot of man week one, you know, may see a lot of zone here against the Vikings. So it'll be interesting, right? I told you that. Yeah, you're right. I said based on Ed Donatelle on his background with Vic Fangio and what he did against Aaron Rogers, week one, that they'd be facing a zone heavy defense. What I didn't expect, and you know me, John, I don't rip coaches ever because I know how hard they work. But, that Viking defense stayed in a static too high shell the entire game. Wow. And there were variations when you're in a too high shell, but they were in a too high safety shell,

literally the entire game. And they rushed four. I don't think they blitzed. If they did, it was very, very few times. And I thought the Eagles coaching staff had a great plan knowing what they would get. And Hertz executed that plan at a very, very high level. So things, things, things, things, couldn't be going any better, uh, in your opinion, I'm sure.

No, you know, obviously, uh, every game is different. Um, but I thought Hertz played really well. I thought their O line was absolutely dominant against a D line that has some good players, Darius Smith, Danelle Hunter, DJ Warnham is coming on a bit. They're all long athletic players. That Eagles O line, arguably the best in the league, certainly top three or four. And, you know, it was, it was a beautiful game if you're the Eagles. They ran the ball with some success. I'm not talking about Hertz running, although he is part of their game. I'll say, just that a little pop the other night.

Yes, but in terms of throwing the football, because he did throw over 20 balls in the first half, which is not usually the case with the Eagles. So the point is Hertz was secure and clean in the pocket. It was just beautiful. and he threw the ball really well. He was poised. He was confident. He was comfortable.

He was accurate. Obviously, they had a miscommunication, which one could call a bust on the long touchdown to Watkins. But, you know, he made the throw. He saw it and made the throw. So it was a really strong game for Jalen Hertz. He had a lot of success in this matchup last year for what it's worth, running it. Maybe for fantasy.

Well, it's funny. The thing that made me. feel good. You know, and again, you know, I'm a guy who grinds and, you know, but I did a play in the matchup show last week, a third and two play. I did a situational football piece with the Eagles run with them running a specific play. And on that play, there were options based on the defense. And on the play I did last week, he threw it to Goddard for 27 yards. They ran the exact same play this week. And because of the way the defense reacted, he ran. And that his long touchdown run of 26 yards.

Wow. So it was the exact same play from the week before. It's just the defense reacted differently and therefore he ran. And when you see something like that, you must feel like similar to like it's like inside of trading. You had access to inside of information, you know, like most people watching. Oh. You know, like I said, I mean, you know, I'm not, you know, you know, you won't have to know

I don't go around petting myself on the back. But, you know, I spent so much time watching this stuff. It's just, it's a nice feeling, you know, to see. it and go, well, you know, I did that piece in the show, and I know their offense, as I know most teams' offenses that I watch a lot of. Yeah. Hey, this stuff is hard, you know. Oh, yeah. The way I played on the radio is, you know, I point out when I'm right, point out when I'm wrong. People always say, oh, you know, you're going to talk about when you're right. I'm like, actually, I'm just right a lot. Sorry, you know, just what it is. It's funny to say that, and then we'll move

on. One of the best comments I ever got was, I was up at ESPN a couple of years ago. They brought me up for something. And Matt Hasselbeck, who I know, I don't know if he still lives in Nashville and he was living in Nashville at the time. And he listened to me on Nashville radio. And he said, you know, I got to tell you, you know what I most respect about you? If you don't know something, you say it. And I really appreciated that because there's no way I could possibly know everything and I don't try, you know, because unless you're in the meeting rooms with the coaches and the players, there are certain things you just cannot possibly know. Yeah. And I, and I, and I, I've known that working with you forever and others.

And what I do is we don't know. But when we're trying to be predictive, we have leans and things like that. And that's what we lean on. Well, while we're talking that game, big revenge game for Carson Wentz, how did he look on film? I know last week, other than a couple of spots, overall, you thought he played well? I think the first two weeks he's played well. Yeah.

You know, he's thrown three picks, and of course, people just point to those. But when all said and done, I would say this. I mean, without, you know, you could go through all three picks. He threw two week one. One was a great play by the rookie Trevon Walker. The other was just a ball. He left too far inside on an out route, not a bad read at all. Okay?

This week, his pick was just, he threw it just a little high on a seam ball, and it got tipped by his guy and intercepted. Other than that, he's thrown the ball very well, made some run. really good throws, has not had any really bad misreads. You know, again, I'm sure he's had a few that the coaching staff would say, but I mean, the kind where you go, oh, my God, why is he throwing the ball there? He hasn't had any of those. And he's made some big-time throws.

So, you know, I know the narrative on Wentz is that people are just waiting for those plays, John, as you well know, and then they pretty much say, I told you so. And that's not to say that he's not going to have those plays. You know, maybe that's who he is, but he's still a very talented throw. to the football and he can make big time throws. You know, the entire offseason going into 2021, my opinion was it wasn't Carson. That it did at least start there. And, you know, to that point, I think he's got 31 touchdowns now against 10 picks.

What about this matchup? And by the way, it sure as hell seems to me that Scott Turner and their staff are designing some really good plays. They really are. I think Scott Turner does a really good. job. I think Kenny Sanpici. He's one of the best quarterback coaches in the league. He's been doing it for a very long time. You know, I went back and took a peek at week 15 and week 17, John, when they played last year. Obviously, Carson Wentz wasn't the quarterback, and Jahan Dotson was not there.

But Daria Slay traveled with McLaurin last year in week 15 and week 17. Now, normally the Eagles don't do that. They did it to a meaningful amount this past Monday night with Slay on Jefferson and I thought Slay played an absolutely. Oh my goodness. On the snaps where he was matched up. You know, and that's the reason I love watching the whole game because I'm talking about plays where the ball wasn't thrown to Jefferson. You know, people saw Sleigh make two picks and all that. But he was matched up to him, you know, on plays where it was not thrown to Jefferson. I thought Slai was phenomenal. Yeah, he sure seemed on TV, Greg. He sure did. Oh, can you see it just watching on TV?

be? I was going to say he sure seemed to have been playing amazingly high level, just me watching it on television. You could see. I was switching back and forth between that and Buffalo until Buffalo got out of hand. But watching the tape, I thought Slay was sensational. I thought three Eagles played four, played really well on defense that stood out to me. Avantamatics, the slot corner, and he's probably going to get some of McLaurin and some of Dotson. Don't forget McClorin, has, had two man-to-man excellent routes this week from the slot beating Mike Hughes. So he goes inside. Okay.

And that's a new thing. That's a new development. Correct. Well, that happened this past week. Wow. And Dotson goes inside as well. So, you know, there will be the Slay McLauran matchup, no question. Oh, no question.

It's not happen on every snap. Yeah. Well, you know, not to be a McLaren hater, but I was a big Dotson guy. And I had the hot take that I thought it was a better player and that he was going to outproduce him. McClorant? Yeah. I thought it was a bit, you know, prospect wise, there's a better prospect. Right.

I think that's fair to say. Well, he was also a first round pick. Exactly, yeah. But I think my hot take was he was going to outproduce McClure. I mean, I really like Johan Dotson. I think McLaurin, up to this point in his career, has been a very good receiver. He is. I don't know if this would come across as a hot take or not,

but I think Dotson potentially could be a better receiver overall. Yes. But that's, you know, he's a rookie who's played two games, so, you know, I'm not ready to sit here. You know, I don't want people listening to think, oh, Hossel thinks Dodson's great, McLaren stinks. That's not what I'm saying. Yeah.

Oh, no, I've been leading the charge. And nothing against McLaren. He's good. But here's one thing I notice. real quick, not to get in a rabbit hole in this one, but, you know, McClearn's not a real quick twitch guy, I don't think. I think he's straight line quick and fast. I don't know what he's, I know what you're saying. So on the short touchdown that Dodson scored this past week, it reminded me of like Calvin Ridley at the line, like small guy, but good luck, good luck.

He had great quickness off the ball. And he's, you know, and you could see, even on that catch, that he's just fearless and he's competitive. Yeah. Now, I'm not saying that McLaurin isn't, you know, I don't know what's in McClorin's head, but I will say that Dotson's tape at Penn State showed, because he worked the middle of the field really, really well, and he went up and got the ball. I think we've seen McLaren do that in the NFL,

but I think McLaren is probably a little more of, you know, I don't know. That's what it is, I think, Greg. I think we got this because. I really like McClorn. So I want to Sure, sure But if it's me And I'm Carson Wentz

And it's fourth and goal At the five or whatever I'm going to look to Dotson Because I think Dotson can win quicker Than McLaurin Right So that's why I think he's better than McLaren That's it

You're wrong Yeah Anyway, that was interesting A little deep dive there How about How about the Lions and the Vikings? and I saw both teams. The Lions, look, none of us know about teams' records, okay, at this point, you know,

and the Lions are 101. I'm not going to sit here and say, hey, they're going to be 10 and 7. You know, I don't do that. You know, I don't have to do that. But I don't think they're an easy team to play against now. They're very aggressive defensively, very aggressive. Aaron Glenn, that's his approach. It's like they're covering for their questionable personnel well on the back end.

Well, to some degree. Look, this week, obviously, they were missing Arorio. He was out, but I don't know if he's back this week. Do you know? We could check on that. I haven't seen that yet. But, yeah, obviously, he was out last week. So last week they played Harris outside, who's, you know, they'd rather have Arroyo there for obviously.

He was limited today, Greg, so he's probably going to trending toward a return. Okay. So the point is, I don't think they're terrible outside. Right. You know, and they do a lot of things up front, a lot of things up front. You know, Hutchinson had three sacks. You know, those weren't individual sacks in the sense that he beat somebody, but he still had three sacks.

But they're very aggressive with blitz and pressure. As I said, they're not easy to play against. They show a lot of hybrid man's own coverage looks. That makes it not easy to play against. Okay. You know, they play, normally they play sides, but I would not surprise me. Arorier, Week 1, Who did the Lions play week one, the Eagles, right? Yeah.

Yes. Arori, he was on Brown. He was on Brown. He traveled with him. If he's back and playing, I'd be curious to see if he's on Jefferson. Yeah. If he's back, I think you will see that matchup personally. Yeah. Well, yeah, I'm not sure what happened to Cousins, the new staff. The person was not sharp mentally or physically in this game. against the Eagles. You know, I can't answer why, but he wasn't. Seems like the O-Line wasn't that bad.

No, it wasn't bad. Their O-Line, I think, is a young group that's going to get better, and I think could be a very good group as time goes on. Does that jump off to scream the Lions run game because their Johnson, the OCs, get a lot of credit for, you know, drawing up these gashing run plays? Yeah, I mean, they've had a few of those. I think they have a good O line. I think it's a physical O line. They were missing two guys last week, too.

Yeah. And I don't know if those guys are back. You know, that I don't know. Frank, the tank, was limited today. Okay. And they were also missing because they played Skipper at, is it right guard or left guard, you know, the kid who never started a game.

It was probably right. Yeah. And he was actually a tackle in college. I think he's Arkansas because I remember watching him coming out of college. but, you know, they want to be a physical team. I mean, they're looking like, I think, Dan Campbell wants them to look. Yeah.

Physical with their all line on offense. And Aaron Glenn is very aggressive on defense, and I think that's the way they want to play. Got it. All right. Well, Trevor Lawrence, I know. Oh, yeah. I mean, I didn't see every dropback,

but it seems like he's clearly playing better. But what struck me. What struck me is, as I was halfway through that tape, I was just saying to myself, God, I feel like I'm seeing the beginning of the transformation under Doug Peterson. Yeah. That he's starting to look a little quicker on his drop and his set. He's becoming a little less of a strider. You know, now this won't happen necessarily every week.

You know, how it works. Some weeks he could be under pressure and revert back to longer stride. You know, all this is a work in progress and it's incremental. You know, so again, I don't want people to think I'm saying, hey, Trevor Lawrence now, man, he's top three. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying, you know, I know Doug Peterson. I know he's a quarterback guy. He's been trained by some of the best when he was with Andy Reed.

So he knows what it's supposed to look like. And I think you can start to see the transformation take place. Yeah, and boy, they're getting, boy, they're getting Christian Kirk open, aren't they? They're lining them up all over. He caught the touchdown in the 10-yard of this week when he was in the backfield. I mean, you know, Kirk has become, you know, I think he'll be the guy more so than Marvin Jones just because he has more versatility in the formation. I mean, he has a fantasy force right now. He's a pretty deadly player. So you didn't see James Robinson, right? Because you watch just the dropbacks. Yeah, but I saw enough of him on, you know, he had the one long run, which was a great run. And then not much, John, not much.

Oh, I know. And that's the quagmar here because. And he does not have a lot of juice, by the way. No, no. He's a odd guy in the sense that I think he's a very good runner in terms of understanding how to run, but there's no juice. Right, sure. It's already starting to feel like this Cam Acres thing where like, oh, we're proud of you for coming back. You're getting all these carries, but you're at two yards of carry. Right, right. So moving on here, Greg, do you have any thoughts on what's going on here in Tennessee?

Derek Henry. Yeah, I do. Okay. It's just a... Would you like me to share them with you? I would. would. I'd like to set you up for that. Well, again, without making a judgment because, you know, coaches coach what they have. That's, you know, they can't all of a sudden create new players.

So here's what they have right now. They have an offensive line that is not very good at all. Yeah. Okay. They have no speed at all on their offense. Yeah. Zero. Yep. So if they can't run the ball and grind it out with the hope that Derek Henry will break, you know, a long run or two behind, like I said, a not very good offensive line, then they really have nothing to hold their hat on. Nothing. No. No, they're in big trouble. They have no speed. Big trouble. Big trouble. So, you know, again, you know, I know, I know in Tennessee because I do radio down there that, you know, people are, you know, fire Mike Ravel, get rid of the offensive. Oh, please. That's,

all great, but there's, there's, they're limited in what they can do. Because you can't live on trick, gimmicky plays, as you know, and they just have, with a bit with a poor O line and no team speed, your options are somewhat limited. And their defense is seemingly going to be paying a little bit of this price too. Well, yeah, and they were also because of Kristen Fulton being injured last week, they had to play, one of the players they played it outside corner was a, you know, a rookie free agent Avery and you know he struggled a bit they kept they clearly were looking for people to play corner you know yeah yeah jumping people in and out now not great now they're playing the raiders you saw the raiders people are a little worried i'm like look it's a new offense

it hasn't been that bad car probably forced it to devante but what are your thoughts on watching the radar offense cardinals made it a major priority in their game plan depending on where devon Monti was lined up. Of course, you don't do this on every snap. No team does. But they clearly had doubles and brackets on him at times throughout the game to take him away in those critical situations. So he wasn't targeted a ton and he only went two for 12, as you know. You know, I tell you one guy I think for two weeks has looked good as Josh Jacobs. Yeah, yes. He looked pretty quick. Yeah.

So, and look, Josh brought with him from the wing on the fallback and they do line up and run ball out of 21 personnel. Jacobs did have 19 last week. Carries, only 69 yards, but I think he's looked very good. You know, I think it's a little bit of a work in progress overall with their offense. Is Hunter Renfro and concussion protocol? That I did not know about it. I know at the end of the game when he took that shot on the fumble that lost them the game. Oh, right. And I thought I heard that he was, you know, they feared a concussion. So I haven't seen anything about that. Yeah, he did. No, he is. Damn it. I'm just seeing this now. He didn't practice Wednesday. He is in the protocol.

Right. Wow. So that's a big issue if he can't go. Yeah, they're very thin behind him. They did get Keeling Cole back and Matt Collins. And he can fill that role for a game or two if need be. Yeah, yeah. I'm surprised they cut him, actually. Matt Collins made a couple of plays there. Rader O-line, maybe it was a match. matchup didn't seem to be that big of a problem. No, I didn't think it was. They had a few mental mistakes that were problematic and you could see guys

kind of looking at each other, you know, on a slide protection, guy didn't slide the right way, you know, that kind of stuff, but I didn't think they were just handled. I didn't think that was a big issue. Let's go to Tua Tunga Veloa because, you know, I'll give you the very basic layman opinion of you know, what we saw and what we're seeing from Tua. And you've already mapped it out

and laid it out that obviously Mike McDaniel's got a very good brain. I'm doing a play in the matchup show this week. Not one of the coverage busts because I don't know what to make of those, you know. I mean, obviously you two have made the throws, but those are busts. But he threw a 59-yard at a waddle from his own end zone. Yeah. Breaking that down in the match-up show. Dime.

It was an unbelievable concept by McDaniel. People need to watch it. Not just because I'm doing it because it's, it's, the explanation of the play is fascinated me, fascinated me. Well, you've got to give it up to Tyree Kill because he was talking up too all summer and, you know, maybe week one wasn't great. But it just seems to me, Greg, to your point about McDaniel, scheming up good plays, utilizing to his strengths, throwing it in the middle of the field, you know, the numbers.

But he's also extending plays. You know, he doesn't look very sluggish. I mean, he's not a catch back there, but, you know, buying some time. maybe from some different angle. Like, he's evolving a little bit. Well, what's happening? He threw for a lot of yards because of the two-hills touchdowns, which were busts. So you got to, I mean, like I said, give him credit he made the throws, but those were busts.

Any NFL quarterback theoretically should be able to make those throws. But putting that aside, that's why he had big numbers. But I think that McDaniel has such a good feel for schematics of an offense and how to use shifts and motions and formations and personnel. And he understands Tua is a rhythm player. And I think the combination, and I mentioned this to you before the season, even though through the years I've talked about Tua

being a certain kind of player, which he is. Yeah. And McIntynyl knows that. I said he would have a very good season because of those receivers. And not in the way people think, not just because they can run vertically. Right.

Because teams will not press those guys. and therefore not be disrupted and Tua will be able to play in rhythm. Yeah. We, we, I had him on my list of targets. He was, I gave it a rubber stamp endorsement, big in on Waddle. We were fine with Tyree and we were down on Gaseki. I think too, Greg, it's kind of a, like, you know, we all know, too, and may not have the same margin for error that Justin Herbert has because of the physical

attributes. But it's like you have the, think of that as Shanahan offense, scheme and guys open, you know, you see Kiddle running wide open, D. But how the hell they do that? They're smart. But then you, it's scheme plus athletic, ridiculous talent. It's funny you say that just make a transition because Jimmy G's back. He threw a touchdown when he came back early to Ross Dwelly, the tight end. And I'm sure everybody saw it and said that was a bus because Dwelly was wide open.

It was not a bust. And, and if, you know, again, I'm not going to break down the play because we're talking. People can't see it. But it was not a bust. It was an incredibly, beautifully designed schematic that broke down the coverage. Now, the defense, the Seahawks, blitzed on that play. So it ended up being, you know, they caught him in a situation where it totally worked, but it's a schematic. And that's what Mike McDaniel is bringing to Miami for Tua.

and he's going to make Tua a really good player, you know, a solid player. Does that mean Tua is now Josh Allen? No, it doesn't. But he's going to make him a really good player. I mean, if he's healthy, too, is throwing 35 touchdown. So it's pretty good. That's pretty damn good. Speaking of Jimmy, you know, this is really good news for the fantasy fortunes of

Brandon Ayuk who looks really good this year. Debo, I mean, Greg, straight up, this is good news for people. People like us who want numbers out of the Niners passing it. Right. Like how good, though? Like really good, right? Well, here's my thought, you know, just as we wrap up our half hour. My thought is this.

I'd be really curious to see if Kyle Shattahan, knowing how the league is evolving, the fact that it's not, you know, and their defense is very good, by the way. Slings it around a little bit more, maybe. That's what, you know, and again, that's what I'm thinking. Well, that's the strength of their roster. It would be calculated. I mean, he's not going to come out and have him drop back 45 times and just toss it all over the yard. They're not going to do that because Jimmy G's not that guy.

But last year, as you know, when they had their winning streak, there were games where Jimmy G had 22 attempts, 24 attempts. It wouldn't surprise me if they feel like, hey, we got Debo. We've got an improving IU. We have Jennings, who's actually a pretty good player. Danny Gray got a deep target last week. What's that? Danny Gray got a deep target last week.

Correct. We have Ray Ray McLeod, who in their system could be a little bit like an Isaiah McKenzie type. Yeah. You know, if we have weapons now where we can actually line up and, you know, through schematics, create some bigger plays. So like I said, you're not going to see all of a sudden the Niners, you know, Jimmy G. going 35 for 45. but I'm wondering if there's just going to be a little more emphasis put on throwing the football. Well, you know what it reminds me a little bit of, Greg? Miami! Because they don't have a great running game.

Well, their running game's going to be fine. You know it's always fine. They do great, great things in their run game. Right, right. And you still had over 80 yards last week. I'm just, I guess, personnel, you know, can most survive and all that. But before we go, Do you have any thoughts of what we're saying in Denver?

Yeah, I mean, I watched their tape both weeks on offense. I think, and again, it's a new offense for Wilson. You know, the assumption always just because he's Russell Wilson that it's not a problem, but I don't think he's seeing things really well enough right now. That'll probably change over time. But I think he's a little slow with his elimination and isolation right now. Yeah. And I think because of that, there's not a lot of refinement to their offense.

Right. It's not rhythmic. But I will say this. I think it struck me. And, of course, I don't know what Jerry Judy's status is, but it was clear in the game against the Texans that he looked to Sutton as his main target. And I think that will likely continue. Oh, for sure.

That was the prevailing thought. That's what I thought. And, yeah, we pivoted on over to him. You know, and to be fair, maybe we're being a little mean. And I'm guilty because I tweeted, like, oh, same old Russ running around making plays. And maybe he is just not understanding. I think he runs anywhere near as much as he used to. Oh, well, that too.

Yeah. Well, the days of him running beyond the line of scrimmage are almost over. Yeah, I think he wants to stay and throw it. But I just don't think he's right now, you know, could be new outfit. You know, again, you never know all that stuff because we're not there. But I think that he's just not seeing it. And he's just been a little slow with his reads. through two weeks.

I mean, is it fair to say that they would have a little bit more rhythm offensively if they would just commit a little bit more to Gervante? Well, I personally think that they should, but, you know, again, I, you know. It does seem to hurt the rhythm and continuity. It actually ran extremely well this week, so I'm not going to sit here and say that what they should or shouldn't do. I think we would all agree that Gervantes probably a better back, not probably better runner, but, you know, I don't know.

Yeah. Well, we'll see. I mean, they did, actually, the division of labor last week was exactly as I projected it, 65, 35. That's fine. 35 is fine, but the 50, the 45 was getting way ridiculous. One more, Lamar. Like, we got reports from Kaplan that Lamar was firing some lasers this summer, and that seems to continue to carry over.

I thought he threw the ball really well this week. I thought they had some really good schemes, too. You know, don't forget, you know, when you can scheme up a quarterback, which that's what coaches do, that's their job, you know, that's what you want to do. And I thought Lamar threw the ball really, really well. I thought that, you know, he made some excellent throws. Obviously, he's always a fantasy bonanza because of the running and he had the 79-yard touchdown. So, you know, and the dolphins were aggressive. in that game. So, you know, he had to deal with that. But I thought, I thought he made some really good

throws. Now, the report is he has a sleeve on his elbow this week. Obviously, the Ravens are saying he's fine. You know, we don't know what that means. You know, he's, you know, he's still a guy who runs a lot. And last year he missed six games or whatever it was. Yeah. Yeah. He's hoping, you know, he doesn't keep getting nagging injuries that have an effect. He's super competitive. We know that. So he's going to play, unless he literally can't. Well, the word is, I don't know if he looks a little slower to you. The word is he's put on about 20 pounds this year. He does look a little slower, still faster than everyone. A 79-yard touchdown, he didn't pull away the way we've seen him. Yeah, exactly. But I will say this, Bademan certainly pulled away on his 70s.

Oh, I was going to say, did you think he could run that fast like a canton? Shout out of a Kent. He really turned on the Jets. Yes, he did.
