0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to the Bill Barnwell show.
0:07.7	I am Bill Barnwell.
0:09.3	Today, starting off the show with some breaking news.
0:12.3	I recorded the show earlier today, Tuesday morning, with Will Brinson, before two major stories
0:19.1	broke in the NFL, one of which is the ACL injury season
0:23.8	ending suffered by Stefan Diggs. We talked about it a tiny bit on the show. We weren't really sure
0:29.6	what the report was as of yet it had kind of been unclear. Thought in ACL would have been clearer
0:36.4	from the first moment, but it turns out, unfortunately,
0:39.8	that is the case for Stefan Dixie is out for the year.
0:42.8	Obviously, a major injury for the Houston Texans who were already down Nico Collins for part of the year.

1:16.1	Anthony Richardson, 10 starts into his career losing his job to Joe Flacko.
1:21.5	And let's start with the on-field stuff, right?
1:23.5	Because I don't think strictly for on-field performance, you can bench a quarterback you
1:30.5	knew was going to be a project like Anthony Richardson after 10th starts. I know the Panthers just
1:36.6	benched Bryce Young after, I believe it was 17 starts before he lost his job. They say he's coming
1:43.4	back. We don't know if it's actually going to be the case.
1:45.1	But essentially, 10 starts for a guy you knew was going to be a project, not enough for me.
