| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, hello, welcome in. |
| 0:06.4 | We've got a holiday beyond the box score for you. |
| 0:09.8 | Master matchups week 16. |
| 0:12.2 | I expect we'll have our full audience here |
| 0:14.2 | because you all have been riding with me and Ryan all year |
| 0:16.6 | and you have made it to the semifinals, to no uh that's where ryan and i have arrived of course |
| 0:22.3 | in all of our leagues Ryan how you feeling today feeling great man how's it been rubbing elbows down |
| 0:28.1 | there with all the CBS bigwigs in the offices this week you having a good time oh yeah man |
| 0:33.9 | i'm on a high i'm drinking coffee right now at 4 p.m eastern time for for absolutely no reason at all. I normally stop drinking at noon. But I'm feeling, you know, I did. I got to go down and record in the big boy studio today with Heath Cummings and Dave and Jamie Eisenberg, Dave Richard. And it was really, really cool. They showed me a studio that was so big that I pulled my phone |
| 0:54.1 | out and took a video of it so I could send it back to my simpletons at home. We're not in Kansas |
| 0:59.0 | no more. Yeah, we're enjoying it. Fort Lauderdale like I've never been out of the state. |
| 1:06.1 | Yeah, man, it's been really, really fun. I've got to meet producers here in person, and that's been really, really cool to meet a lot of the team. |
| 1:13.4 | But we're here for serious business today. |
| 1:16.9 | We've got a lot of crazy, crazy lineup decisions that we are faced with, you know? |
| 1:23.4 | And starting really with the Thursday night game. |
| 1:25.8 | So for anybody who gets to this before that game starts, we've got quite the real-life game on tap. |
| 1:32.3 | But I do not know if we really should be all that excited about the fantasy prospects for this game. |
| 1:38.9 | I'm worried. |
| 1:39.8 | I think there's a real shot that it might be like a 16 to 10 game where there's one touchdown or something and it's you know who knows blake quorum or whatever like it's it's a game that has me a little bit nervous especially because people have expectations you know matthew stafford has gotten them here um obviously pukinakua you're starting the running backs um you know you probably want to avoid the seattlefield. But people want to go to Colby Parkinson in this game, you know? Like I got no idea what people might be getting up to today. I'm definitely curious where your head's at. I think both quarterbacks scare me a little bit. We talked about this the last time that they faced off. And it was kind of what we were worried about. These defenses can get pressure and they can get pressure fast. The Seahawks have the fastest pressure time in the NFL at 2.35 seconds is the average time at which they get pressure, which is pretty crazy for a defense that doesn't even blitz that much. That's already something that will concern me with Stafford, but especially with Devante Adams out. I'm nervous. So Devante has been his top target, wind pressured. 24% of his targets have gone to Devante Adams. So in the past, it's kind of been, you know, Puka. This year it's been Devante, who he's leaned on, who the offense kind of builds these through these, the situation was they can get, you one-on-one out to devante and i'm |
| 2:52.1 | curious on a short week how things might develop so it's 24% of his targets go to devonthe |
| 2:57.1 | and pressure versus quick pressure that rises to almost 30% last time we saw stafford face |
| 3:02.1 | seattle we went 15 for 28 for 130 yards was qb 16 on the week uh that's exactly where I have him ranked this week let me get |
