Summary

The NFL never sleeps, and today’s episode is packed with breaking news that’s shaking things up. Jeff kicks things off with the Giants finally pulling the plug on Russell Wilson and handing the reins to rookie Jaxson Dart. From there, he breaks down Tyrone Tracy’s timetable and what it means for Cam Skattebo. He also hits Mike Evans being sidelined for 3-4 weeks, checks in on Terry McLaurin’s status, and wraps with some thoughts on Brian Callahan handing off play-calling duties in Tennessee. Plenty of fallout to sort through for both real football and fantasy.

0:00.0	Rap back where you at
0:01.0	Yo, what's up?
0:16.2	It's Tuesday.
0:17.7	September 23rd.
0:18.7	I'm Jeff.
0:19.1	This is the rant.
0:20.5	Week four is here, man. And a wise man once
0:25.2	said, the Giants are going to start Jackson Dart by week four. And it happened. It happened.
0:33.0	We're going to talk about the Jackson Dart thing. And there's a couple other stories that have
0:36.5	come out since I've gotten off the air at Sierra. And I wanted to cover those. That's the benefit of this podcast. Sometimes, you know, the stuff that happens after I get off the air, I don't get to talk about until the next day on Sirius XM. But if there's breaking news, I could pop on here. So this should set you up well for your waiver wire as well this evening because I'm getting
0:55.6	a lot of questions about Jackson Dart. And yes, I am going to suit my own horn. This was not hard
1:01.2	to call though. This is not me being smart. I'm anything but smart. But I do pay attention.
1:07.8	And I don't believe what coaches tell us and I don't believe what beat writers

1:47.2	who is very much on the back nine. He might be even hitting into the 18th green in his career.
1:54.0	You just don't do that. You don't do that. How you save your job is you make some good calls,
2:00.6	and they made a bold call.
2:01.5	They made a bold call trading up into the, back up into the first round.
