00:00All right, let's move on and get more of your wisdom here, my friend, a running back.

00:06Now we talked quarterback there with Aiden O'Connell.

00:08Give me a running back and give it to me in a spicy matchup if you can.

00:13Well I got to finish this segment quickly because now the Jets are calling me right

00:17now.

00:18The Jets are trying to think.

00:19I don't know about the job I'm willing to take.

00:21Well, they're the most desperate.

00:23That's what I just, I just like going after the Jets.

00:25I just, I can't help myself.

00:27It's fun.

00:28Let's talk about Bijon Robinson.

00:29Now this one is obviously a no brainer.

00:31So if we had the first one being the one that raises eyebrows, this one should not at all.

00:37Coming off a game from the bye week where he had 102 yards on the ground, also caught

00:42six of his six targets for 33 yards.

00:44He had a touchdown in that game as well.

00:46Bijon Robinson is the man and he's got a matchup here where the Minnesota Vikings are the best

00:51run defense in a couple metrics.

00:54However, I think what you're going to see out of him today is a lot more catching the

00:57football.

00:58And that's where we're getting really excited about him.

01:00I think Kirk Cousins and the Falcons, you know, what collectively understand what this

01:05game means here.

01:06It's fighting for their division live.

01:07It's basically a playoff game for them to get into playoffs.

01:10If they beat the Vikings, they still have a pretty good shot to be in this conversation

01:14for this division.

01:15If they lose and Tampa wins, all of a sudden things get really difficult for them, potentially

01:20down the stretch.

01:21So the moment in terms of the cousins return the moment in terms of what's going on for

01:28this Falcons team.

01:29I think they realize this is it here.

01:32If you don't come away with a victory, you are basically letting someone else dictate

01:36your season.

01:37And I don't think Bijon Robinson is going to let that happen.

01:39I don't think Kirk Cousins gonna let that happen either.

01:42So and if you watch the Vikings last couple weeks, too, they've had some trouble in the

01:45red zone.

01:46They've settled for a lot of field goals that could hurt them potentially in this game.

01:50So give me Bijon Robinson today.

01:51I know the matchup on paper looks a little tough, but the aggressiveness of that Vikings

01:55defense sometimes will allow for those quick dump offs.

01:58And the one thing that Kirk Cousins really good at is recognizing defense, especially

02:02one that he practiced against for years.

02:04So he understands the strengths of that defense.

02:07Another guy I want to talk about to Jerry Judy wide receiver come off a huge game.

02:11Now the frustrating thing with Jerry Judy is you watch Monday night when this version

02:14of Jerry Judy's available.

02:16I mean, what?

02:17I didn't know we could have this one.

02:18I thought this was only available in Alabama where you could get this one, you know, the

02:22one that's motivated and goes out there and plays great football.

02:25Now, the truth of the matter is quarterback play for him has been spotty throughout his

02:28career, but effort level has been spotty as well for Jerry Judy when Jerry Judy is motivated

02:33and has effort with Jamis Winston, that's a good combination and should be a good combination

02:38today against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

02:40What do you make out of Jerry Judy's performance on Monday night, 200 plus receiving yards,

02:45just a complete menace to society.

02:47I've been asking myself all week, where has this version of Jerry Judy been for the last

02:51couple of years?

02:52You bring up a point.

02:53At first I thought it was in jest, but now I realize you're being serious with regards

02:56to motivation, determination.

02:58There's time to play heads up and there's time to just run routes.

03:01I think what you saw there on the national stage was Jerry Judy, who is an athlete with

03:05an ego and also thinking about his potential and his financial potential to kind of just

03:10play with his head up.

03:11And I think that's what you saw here.

03:13I'm really loving the segment with the time that we have left.

03:15Is there one more player that you think might boom?

03:17Because on the other side, we'll talk about the busts.

03:19Yeah, it's Keenan Allen.

03:21I really like the bears off the dead coach bounce this week.

03:24You know, we have a Eber Fuss out and typically, I mean, look, I don't know if there's been

03:29a team that has been more negative about their head coach, the bears and quite some time.

03:35And you can tell from every quote that's been given out there, I expect them to go out there

03:39and beat the 49ers.

03:41That's right today.

03:42No Nick Bosa on the field, no Christian McCaffrey, no Jordan Mason.

03:45And Keenan Allen is going to be a big part of that.

03:46Keenan Allen has been that red zone guy.

03:48Some questions about him being hurt coming into the week, but that is all cleared up.

03:52So Keenan Allen, get him in your lineups.

03:55That guy's going to eat today.
