00:00All right, so with that said, it brings us to the wide receiver conversation. Will Calvin

00:08Ridley be a steadying presence for an erratic Will Levis against the Jets or Jaden Reed?

00:13Quarterback questions there as well against Indianapolis.

00:16This is, this is, I'm miserable with this one, Matt Stryker. You may be miserable. Okay.

00:25Let me take you for real. Let me take you a minute. No, no, no, no. I'm like Malik

00:29Willis is going to be miserable too. But I think that Jaden Reed will work enough in

00:33the Jet sweep game and work enough and touch the football where I think I'm going to take

00:37the touches of Jaden Reed over the quarterback play of Will Levis. So it's a slight lean

00:42towards Jaden Reed, but if there's a C option, I'd love to hear it. Matt, where would you

00:47go out of curiosity between these two guys?

00:48Hey, look at that back in my lap. Yeah, I'm with you. I think that Ridley would be a steadying

00:52presence for Levis and Jaden Reed has that explosivity. But then again, you have the

00:58quarterback question, but I think I can probably garner more points with Reed, even though

01:03that Colt, the Colts are coming on, man. They are going to be a wagering favorite, but I'd

01:06lean Reed. All right. There's my answer. Let's move on here. Let's talk tight ends. We're

01:11going to go Colby Parkinson, the Rams offensive line banged up. So the tight end position

01:15may have some more blocking duties, but at Arizona, we know how Arizona caters to the

01:20tight end position or Pat Friermuth, a tight end, actually that you mentioned before the

01:23season as a sneaky little pick and he's at Denver.

01:28Yeah, look, I think that the Steelers are going to be better this week than they were

01:33last week. I don't think the Denver Broncos are a good football team. I just don't. They're

01:39really just, I don't know where they're digging this hole, but it's going to get deeper and

01:42deeper and that defense again, you want to look at Bo Nix turnovers today and the Steelers

01:47to win, right? Simple things, simple things you can do. And, you know, it might not be

01:52the sexiest thing on the board. It might be the biggest plus money thing in the world,

01:56but put those two things together. I think you're going to have a good day at the office.

02:00Parkinson had a good day, kind of was called upon last minute. We're trying to figure out

02:05like, is it Demarcus Robinson being a guy we can count on? Maybe of a Parkinson, I think

02:10gave you four catches for 47 on five targets. And I think that you could see a jump this

02:16week with Puka not being a practice all week, obviously going on the IR that you're going

02:21to find more ways to get him involved. And I think that's a good thing. So I would lean

02:25towards parking because of the volume. I think Fryer Muth is still a little bit more touchdown

02:30dependent. Now the answer is whoever scores a touchdown is going to win this matchup,

02:33but I'm going to favor Parkinson. I'm going to favor him for having a slightly higher

02:40potential to do the touchdown as well because of the total game. So it's Parkinson by a

02:44whisker for me over Fryer Muth.
