00:00Let's talk about some ground games here.

00:05Let's go to Las Vegas and talk about their backfield against the Cleveland defense.

00:09Yeah.

00:10Look, Zamir White has been disappointing.

00:14I'll take the L on this.

00:15He is a guy that I thought was going to get all the carries, be in a good spot here, but

00:20unfortunately it just hasn't been the case.

00:22And if you look so far at the volume too, where are these 20 carries that we were promised?

00:28We haven't gotten there, 13 attempts, nine attempts, 10 attempts.

00:32Right now he is RB 49.

00:36And we're in a situation this week where there's a chance we could see a change of quarterback

00:40where Gardner Minshew maybe gets replaced already by Aiden O'Connell, which is pretty

00:44much the Spider-Man meme of the two Spider-Mans just pointing at each other.

00:47It's the same guy.

00:48I don't know if it's any different.

00:49And now you've taken Devontae Adams out of this offense today because he's out.

00:53So that means a lot of stacked boxes, not a good situation for a breakout from Zamir

00:57White.

00:58All right.

00:59Let's move on and talk quarterback here because a contrarian play to what we were talking

01:04about earlier in the show would be to lean on this quarterback and his team to upset

01:09the Steelers.

01:10Joe?

01:11Look, Richardson has the ability at any moment to wreck a game.

01:14With his legs, with his arm, he is just a freakish talent.

01:19The problem is Pittsburgh's allowed the 13th lowest yards per attempt, the third lowest

01:25CPOE, the fourth lowest success rate and EPA on dropback.

01:30Basically, what that means is the Steelers are crushing quarterback.

01:35And Anthony Richardson is still more of a raw talent than a quarterback that's ready

01:39to execute at a high level.

01:41That's a problem.

01:42Can his athleticism carry him over those obstacles?

01:47Yes.

01:48But the problem is right now, that's not good fantasy practice.

01:52So if you have Gino Smith on the waiver wire, if you have Jared Goff on the waiver wire,

01:57dare I say, if you have Andy Dalton on the waiver wire against the Bengals this week

02:01and that terrible secondary, those all might be better plays than Anthony Richardson.

02:06So until Richardson figures it out, and I think he will, you have to look right now

02:10and say, am I 0-3?

02:12Can I live another week here with Anthony Richardson, maybe figuring it out against

02:16the Steelers?

02:17Probably not.

02:18And TJ Watt has been absolutely tremendous.

02:20So I think what you want to do is hope for the best, bench him until further notice.

02:26And maybe at some point, Richardson can put it all together.
