00:00Kyle Pitts, the tweaking team, what do you want from me?

00:03We're having fun, man.

00:04Listen, winning money is fun.

00:06We're having fun.

00:06Kyle Pitts, you said it's a disappointment.

00:08I agree with you as a Kyle Pitts manager.

00:10Not what I wanted to see this season.

00:12Has Carolina or Jake Ferguson Dallas against Washington?

00:17Look, Ferguson is probably the one people will go to,

00:22but it hasn't necessarily been great for Ferguson.

00:25I think what I'm going to do here,

00:26and people aren't going to like this,

00:27but I'm just going to play the matchup.

00:30And the matchup is the Carolina Panthers

00:31are terrible against tight ends.

00:33And last week with Michael Penix,

00:35four for 44 and a touchdown from Kyle Pitts.

00:38So maybe, just maybe, there's a glimmer of hope here.

00:41I'm going to play Kyle Pitts.

00:42If I'm willing to play Michael Carter,

00:44I've got to be willing to play Kyle Pitts here at this stage.

00:48Because Pitts, again, the matchup is everything.

00:50That's what you're looking for.

00:51And there's opportunity here where,

00:53maybe just maybe with this other quarterback,

00:55we're finally getting to a situation

00:57where rookies too also tend to check down a little bit,

01:00panic a little bit,

01:01start to look for the tight ends a little bit more.

01:03So I'm going to go play the matchup

01:06and hope that Michael Penix can make Kyle Pitts

01:09a tight end one this week.

01:10Because I think he can.

01:11Whereas Ferguson, I kind of feel like already

01:13I know the answer to that,

01:14which is it's probably a hard no.

01:17All right.

01:17You mentioned Michael Penix.

01:18So the 18th law of thermodynamics

01:20dictates that we must mention Michael Penix.

01:22There is no 18th law of thermodynamics.

01:24Michael Penix versus Carolina,

01:27or Joe Flacco against Jacksonville.

01:29You're expecting points in that game.

01:30Would you lean Flacco here or what?

01:33This one's incredibly close.

01:35I think I'm going to give Flacco the slight edge here.

01:38This is the slight edge.

01:39You know, he's got the complement of weapons here to work with.

01:41He's got Jonathan Taylor.

01:42He's got the run game.

01:44I think Jacksonville could put up enough points to,

01:46again, push this total, which is what we want.

01:48My fear is, you know,

01:50Carolina is a very plucky team,

01:52but they seem to be running out of a little steam here

01:54toward the end of the season.

01:55Like they were really competing there.

01:56And I don't know, maybe at the end here,

01:58they're just running out of a little gas.

02:00Michael Penix, though, is going to go out there

02:02and I'm sure be proficient enough.

02:04Also going to make some plays with his legs.

02:05He's got that big arm potential,

02:06but so does Flacco.

02:07Flacco's got that big play potential too.

02:09And he is only one year removed

02:11from taking the Cleveland Browns team to the playoffs.

02:12Remember that, kids?

02:13Remember when the Cleveland Browns

02:14were in the playoffs last year with Joe Flacco?

02:16It seems like a million years ago.

02:18Doesn't it, Matt?

02:19A million years ago where Joe Flacco was doing that.

02:21Well, Colts aren't going to the playoffs.

02:23And the Colts this off season

02:24really have some soul searching to do.

02:27Are they going to stay the course

02:28with young Anthony Richardson

02:30and give him the reps that he desperately needs

02:32over and over again to get to where he needs to be?

02:35Or are they going to lose patience?

02:37And that's going to be a really interesting off season

02:39to watch there.

02:39Watch what the Colts do with that quarterback position.

02:41Oh, boy.

02:43Dun, dun, dun!

02:44All right.

02:45Final one we have here is Kenneth Gainwell.

02:48Will he?

02:48In Saquon Barkley's stead against the Giants.

02:50Or Rome Adunze, a fun name to say.

02:53One of the bright spots in Chicago.

02:55But he's at Green Bay.

02:56Joe?

02:58Yeah, I'm going to go take the guy

02:59who's going to the ball in his hands more.

03:00And that is Kenneth Gainwell.

03:02So Saquon Barkley not playing today.

03:03So Gainwell, an interesting guy for some of the props too.

03:05The Giants are, you know, again, not a great defensive team.

03:08So I'm going to be looking for Kenneth Gainwell here.

03:11Another guy that has, when he's given the opportunity,

03:13has shown that he could be a decent NFL running back

03:16for a short period of time.

03:18I'm not looking for him to be a world leader today.

03:21But I think he's got a floor.

03:23And Rome Adunze was dealing with an injury coming into this week.

03:26He's off the injury report.

03:28So that is a good thing for Rome Adunze,

03:30who I think has a bright future.

03:31Let me just say, I think going into next year,

03:34I would not be shocked if D.J. Moore

03:36was actually the guy moved on from.

03:38And D.J. Moore has been incredibly consistent.

03:40But it's kind of sad when you've had better seasons

03:42with Kyle Allen than you have with Caleb Williams.

03:45And if you look at the tail of the tape

03:47for the crappy quarterback play

03:49that D.J. Moore has had to deal with in his career,

03:52D.J. Moore could help a lot of teams.

03:54And if I'm the bears, you know,

03:56Keenan Allen certainly doesn't seem like a guy who's done.

03:59And he has had a good rapport with Caleb Williams.

04:01Rome Adunze, you drafted, hopefully to be a stud.

04:05Now, why you drafted him and not more line help,

04:07I'll never understand.

04:08Because you already had D.J. Moore

04:10and he had Keenan Allen.

04:12So again, this is why Ryan Poles really is,

04:15I think, done and dusted as the GM.
