1
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Due podcast. I'm your host,

2
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,559
Corey Evans. This week, I'm back with a second.

3
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: Quarter report card.

4
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: If you're not familiar with this series, I do in season,

5
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,320
I break it up into four quarters, so we're at

6
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,159
the halfway point of the actual NFL season, hence the

7
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,679
second quarter of the campaign assigning letter grades of an, A, B, C, D,

8
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,119
and F as if we were back in school, but

9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,280
instead of being graded on our subject performance, we are

10
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:50,399
instead assessing the production or roles of NFL talent. Shout

11
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,280
out to Jack for joining Patreon by the time you're listening.

12
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,960
If all things go according to plan, my new Tears

13
00:00:57,119 --> 00:01:01,880
should be launched this week Wednesday, November sixth, so keep

14
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,519
an eye on mat. If you missed the announcement I

15
00:01:04,599 --> 00:01:07,079
made last week, a quick summary is that Patreon is

16
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,640
forcing its content creators who were per creation, which is

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,680
what I was You were paying per episode to now

18
00:01:13,719 --> 00:01:16,599
per month a subscription model, and that changed for me

19
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,959
should go live this week. The main change for you

20
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:23,079
listeners is now selecting when you join if you're already

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,000

22
00:01:25,599 --> 00:01:26,439
Speaker 2: Veteran, MVP.

23
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,079
Speaker 1: All the details the tier benefits will be included, so

24
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,280

25
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,959
becoming a Patreon.

26
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 2: Supporter of my work.

27
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,359
Speaker 1: All right, lettergraven A is Zay Flowers, who is twenty

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,359
four years old. He erupted for five catches, one hundred

29
00:01:40,359 --> 00:01:43,120
and twenty seven yards and two touchdowns versus a very

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,359
stout Denver defense. He only did so on fifty three

31
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,599
percent of snaps. Talk about efficient, averaging twenty five point

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,719
four yards pertection in the process. Zay's touchdowns were from

33
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,560
seven and fifty three yards out. The fifty three yard

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,359
score was him zigging and zagging between defenders where Denver

35
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:02,120
simply forgot how to tackle.

36
00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: I'm not quite.

37
00:02:02,879 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: Sure how he was able to maneuver his way downfield

38
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:08,680
and score on that play. It was more bad defense

39
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:11,879
than good offense. But accounts in fantasy on the season,

40
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,759
Zay checks him the forty six six, fifty four and

41
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,719
three touchdown log. That's fourteen point two yards per catch,

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,759
sixty seven targets in nine game played for the Ravens. Surprisingly,

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,840
Flowers has not exceeded eight and hulf percent of snaps

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,960
in a single contest to date this year.

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: It shows again that Zay.

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: Being on the field receiving quality passes from Lamar Jackson

47
00:02:33,159 --> 00:02:36,439
is sometimes better than a receiver that is volume driven

48
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:41,639
receiving quantity of potentially erratic or consistent inaccurate passes. Jay

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,759
Flowers already is on pace to surpass his solid rookies

50
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,520
in totals of seventy seven, eight fifty eight and five,

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,039
which was eleven point one yards per reception, one hundred

52
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:52,400
and eight targets, and that was the PPR wide receiver

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,159
thirty one last season as a sophomore, Jay four one

54
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,120
hundred or more yard receiving games on his resume, one

55
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:01,919
hundred and eleven yards against the Bengals, about thirty two

56
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,120
versus Washington, a buck fifteen against Cleveland, and this past

57
00:03:06,159 --> 00:03:10,199
week one twenty seven versus Denver. He said double digit

58
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,840
targets in four games at least five receptions a six

59
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:16,360
showing showcasing a very safe floor with the immense ceiling

60
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,960
and outside of three dut performances three catches twenty yards

61
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,280
at Dallas, one catch ten yards versus Buffalo, one catch

62
00:03:23,319 --> 00:03:27,400
eleven yards at Tampa Bay. Save Flowers has been a consistent, steady,

63
00:03:27,439 --> 00:03:30,280
reliable why out two with a wide receiver one ceiling

64
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,280
when he finds the end zone. There's some concern I'll

65
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,360
bring it up that newly acquired Deontay Johnson will impact

66
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:39,039
Zay's role from here on out. If anything, I think

67
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,360
Deontay is going to limit Rashod Bateman or Nelson Agalore

68
00:03:42,439 --> 00:03:45,639
because Flowers is a pivotal piece of Baltimore's short and

69
00:03:45,879 --> 00:03:48,759
long passing attack. The same can be said about Deontay,

70
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,319
but there's not enough consistency to spite Bateman sort of

71
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,800
breaking out in twenty twenty four for Baitman to become

72
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,319
a lock ahead of anyone in that pecking order, most

73
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,400
notably Jay Flowers or Deontay Johnson, who has been a

74
00:04:01,439 --> 00:04:05,280
steady possession wide out for Pittsburgh and even his short

75
00:04:05,319 --> 00:04:08,560
tenure with Carolina. So all those factors considered, report Carl

76
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:10,599
ed grade of an A goes A z A Flowers

77
00:04:10,599 --> 00:04:13,759
in the second quarter of the NFL season. B Lad

78
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,879
mccackey herens twenty three next week, second round pick thirty

79
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,240
four Verrraw out of Georgia this year. He's six feet,

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,519
one hundred and eighty five pounds with a superbat letter

81
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,800
profile four point three to nine to forty thirty six

82
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,199
inc vertical and a ten foot four inch broad jump.

83
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:29,480
He received a lot of Cooper Cup comparisons, which makes sense.

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,160
The short area quickness, sudden burst in out of routes

85
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,800
really sound football IQ against a college talent that passed

86
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,800
the eye test on film or watching Georgia games live,

87
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,560
where you knew that he was going to be well

88
00:04:42,639 --> 00:04:46,480
rounded and a solid pro based on his natural instincts

89
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,160
and receiving capabilities. So far, thirty five catches, four hundred

90
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,800
and forty yards, four touchdowns, twelve point six yards per

91
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,399
perception on fifty two targets in eight games played for

92
00:04:55,439 --> 00:04:58,959
the Chargers. At least five receptions in five contests provided

93
00:04:59,000 --> 00:04:59,959
a safe PPR.

94
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,399
Speaker 2: His drop receiving per week do.

95
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: Show some inconsistency so far, but the peaks have outweighed

96
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,519
the valleys thirty nine yards twenty six yards forty four

97
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,680
sixty seven by forty three forty six one to eleven

98
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,319
and sixty four. So in a worst case scenario, we

99
00:05:17,319 --> 00:05:19,959
saw twenty six yards receiving, but best case was one

100
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,360
hundred and eleven yard performance, which really was Lad's breakout

101
00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:26,279
game only two weeks ago. Ladd's role does continue to

102
00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:28,600
grow with snap breaks per week of sixty seven percent,

103
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,319
forty nine, seventy two, seventy seven, a bye, sixty three,

104
00:05:32,399 --> 00:05:34,600
eighty six, sixty two, and eighty four. So there's been

105
00:05:34,759 --> 00:05:37,600
some ups and downs, but at this point he's a

106
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,519
near lock for sixty percent or above in snaps, and

107
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,480
if he's pushing the eighty hopefully eventually ninety percent threshold,

108
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,439
then that's a set forget it wide receiver two to

109
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,439
three on that borderline commodity that likely cost you an

110
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,160
early mid second and super flex possibly a second even

111
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,000
in one quarterback leagues. This past summer, Lamacackey did not

112
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,399
have a ton of post draft hype because of the

113
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,839
landing spot. And what I find most fascinating is that

114
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,560
we all thought Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman the run

115
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,160
it to the ground dominate time possession coaches. We're going

116
00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:13,240
to run the ball left, right.

117
00:06:13,079 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 2: And center.

118
00:06:13,959 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: So far, the Chargers pass attempts enter week ten at

119
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,079
two hundred and twenty five rushing attempts to twenty seven.

120
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,199
That's a spread of only two attempts. I am shocked

121
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:24,399
that it's almost a fifty fifty split. I thought it'd

122
00:06:24,439 --> 00:06:27,439
be easily sixty to forty in favor of rushing. I

123
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,600
think what has happened here is that Justin Herbert has

124
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,000
perhaps taken more control of reigns of Roman's.

125
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: Offense than we might have expected.

126
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,439
Speaker 1: And at some point when you have Lamacackey functioning as

127
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:41,600
a top tier wide up possession, Quentin Johnston who's been

128
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,920
injured but is now back working the deep ends of

129
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,519
the field and stretching it vertically, a red zone monster,

130
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:50,360
and then even Joshua Palmer filling a hybrid perimeter and

131
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:53,680
vertical role translates to airing the ball out and utilizing

132
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:55,959
the talent you have instead of relying solely on the

133
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,120
rushing game. Now JK Dobbins has been a rebound candidate,

134
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,240
comeback Player of the Year type impact for the Chargers,

135
00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:05,480
and that's with Gus Edwards out of the picture. So

136
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:08,120
I think that this is more of a balanced offensive

137
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,759
approach and has really benefit of that mcconckey, who actually

138
00:07:10,759 --> 00:07:14,199
does lead the Chargers and catches yards, receiving touchdowns on targets.

139
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:16,959
You can't say that about too many wide receivers across

140
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,519
all NFL teams, but Ladd is the leading pass catcher

141
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,120
across the board, and for those reasons, deserves and earns

142
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,199
let a grade of a B on my second quarter

143
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,120
report card. Up next earning a C would be c J. Stroud,

144
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,240
who is twenty three years old, the second overall pick

145
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,160
out of Ohio States last season, proceeded to deliver a

146
00:07:35,199 --> 00:07:38,319
stellar rookie NFL campaign four thousand, one hundred and eight

147
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:41,800
yards passing, twenty three touchdowns, five interceptions, a sixty three

148
00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:45,399
point nine completion percentage rates, eight point two yards pass attempt,

149
00:07:45,519 --> 00:07:48,040
one hundred point eight passer rating, and then chipped in

150
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:51,240
a thirty nine, one cent seven and three rushing log

151
00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:54,240
as a quarterback eleven. Assuming a twelve team lead, it's

152
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,040
a back end quarterback one. The offseason narrative was assuming

153
00:07:58,279 --> 00:08:01,399
straw would either remains that quote back end quarterback one

154
00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:04,000
or make a sophomore leap. Unfortunately, twenty twenty four has

155
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,519
been a step backwards for CJ, in part due to

156
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:11,680
some statistical regression, but more importantly Nego Collins being on

157
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,560
ir Sefon Diggs recently turned to ACL and most notable

158
00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:19,639
Houston's atrocious offensive line that has Stroud being pressured on most,

159
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,160
if not all dropbacks, making him run for his life

160
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,360
to escape pressure and forced the ball downfield.

161
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,399
Speaker 2: There's not a clean pocket.

162
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,879
Speaker 1: Cch Stroud requires a clean pocket, as we saw when

163
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,160
he thrived as a rookie. Not to mention Edaho State

164
00:08:30,319 --> 00:08:32,679
when he was one of the best college athletes among

165
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:35,519
quarterbacks in the nation so so far as a sophomore,

166
00:08:35,639 --> 00:08:38,679
two thousand, one hundred and thirty nine yards passing, eleven touchdowns,

167
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:41,679
foreign receptions, sixty three and a half percent completion rate,

168
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,240
seven point two yards prest attempt, a ninety one point

169
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,320
nine passer rating, and then thirty one totes for about

170
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,720
forty three on the ground and nine games played. It's

171
00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:53,720
not bad, it's just off expectations and does not align

172
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,639
with the cost it took to draft or acquire this

173
00:08:56,759 --> 00:08:59,440
drought after his sensational rookie season.

174
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 2: Fully Nego Collins has a chance to return in week ten.

175
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,759
Speaker 1: Not a lock, but it's certainly in the cards it

176
00:09:04,799 --> 00:09:07,360
sounds like, and that what gives Shroud his top receiver

177
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,600
back shortly and allows Tank Dell to see less defensive

178
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,200
attention because Dell does not necessarily have the build or

179
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,879
size to be the sole factor at wide out, which

180
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,120
was the case in week nine, He's still had a

181
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,240
solid game, but when you have Robert Woods or John

182
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,639
Mechshi as anstillery weapons, it is not the same impact

183
00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:31,360
or pressure when you have a Nico Collins level talent

184
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,519
on the field. And I do think when Nigle Collins returns,

185
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,759
teams defensively are gonna be forced to bring less pass

186
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,639
rushers because you have to account for at that point Collins, Dell,

187
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,879
of course Joe Mixon, which represents a lot of moving

188
00:09:43,919 --> 00:09:47,159
pieces in this Texans offense. CJ has quite honestly had

189
00:09:47,159 --> 00:09:50,639
three dud shoeings this season that if skew his overall stock.

190
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,240
Week three at Minnesota two fifteen yards passing, one touchdown,

191
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:56,960
two picks. Week seven against Green Bay only eighty six

192
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,480
yards passing, no touchdowns, no interceptions, and we nine against

193
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:00,840
the Jets.

194
00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:01,759
Speaker 2: Another dud on.

195
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football was abuck ninety one through the air,

196
00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:08,480
no touchdowns, no interceptions. Otherwise, Stroud has ranked as a

197
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,519
QB eight, sixteen, seven, fifteen, fourteen to twenty six per week,

198
00:10:13,759 --> 00:10:17,360
so it's only had really two quarterback one weeks in

199
00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:19,480
a twelve team league, and the rest have been either

200
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,480
quarterback two or quarterback three. So again, he's not the

201
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,320
quarterback one, even back end at that that he was

202
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,240
as a rookie when he was viewed in the offseason

203
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,759
the top five borderline quarterback in Dynasty. Now, I do

204
00:10:32,799 --> 00:10:35,840
think though, that we can assess him moving forward as

205
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:39,159
that back end quarterback one high a mid range quarterback two,

206
00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:41,200
because I don't doubt what Stroud can achieve.

207
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:43,879
Speaker 2: The talent has not disappeared. It is a health issue.

208
00:10:43,879 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: Ode receiver Nico Collins should be back soon, Stefan Diggs

209
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,559
out for the season, and the offensive line is not

210
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,840
doing the offense or strout any favors. Stroud is not

211
00:10:54,159 --> 00:10:57,440
like Jayden Daniels or Caleb Williams, we can evade pressure

212
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,240
with his legs and then run ten twelve yards scramble

213
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:03,480
to make up for lost time. Instead, he's more Joe

214
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:08,840
Burrow or Justin Herbert, where the pocket passer traits prevail most. Therefore,

215
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,360
I think C A. Shroud can buck this trend of

216
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:13,840
being a sophomore slump rest of season. But for the

217
00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:16,080
time being, here's the letter grade of a C on

218
00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:18,440
my second quarter report card. Time for quick break. I'll

219
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,399
be back with a D n F when it comes

220
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,600
to player grades. Don't forget if you want to get

229
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,960
the call coordingly time for that quick break be right back.

230
00:11:53,879 --> 00:11:56,879
Letter grade of a D is DJ Moore. He turns

231
00:11:56,879 --> 00:11:59,639
twenty eight in April. Not get certain about the age longevity,

232
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,600
no sunse of wear and tear on his NFL career

233
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,440
arc yet in terms of rot, running or separation, things

234
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,600
of that nature, it's a lack of production that gives

235
00:12:09,639 --> 00:12:11,759
him the letter grade of a D thirty seven for

236
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,519
three seventy four and three touchdowns, ten point one yards

237
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:17,559
per catch across sixty targets a sixty two percent catch rate.

238
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:20,879
It's not all Moore's fault. There's a few factors in

239
00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:23,440
play here. That being said, he has not surpassed eight

240
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,559
catches in a single game. He's been held to four

241
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,120
few receptions forty for times, so not much of a

242
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,159
floor or a ceiling. In twenty twenty four, most concerting

243
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,200
are DJ Moore's yards receiving per week of thirty six

244
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,200
fifty three, seventy eight, twenty two, one hundred and five

245
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,919
twenty the Bears by twenty seven and thirty three. That's

246
00:12:41,039 --> 00:12:44,399
fifty three yards receiving or less in all but two showings.

247
00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:48,080
It's not what we're accustomed to seeing output wise from

248
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,480
DJ Moore. In fact, he has been one of the

249
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,240
most consistent whouts in all football with Caroline of twenty

250
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:55,360
eighteen to twenty twenty two, or even Chicago in twenty

251
00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:58,600
twenty three, with his career year of ninety six catches,

252
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,759
thirteen sixty four for yardage, eight touchdowns, one hundred and

253
00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:06,159
thirty six targets. Unfortunately, DJM and Caleb Williams have been

254
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,639
unable to get on the same page or form much

255
00:13:08,759 --> 00:13:10,240
chemistry this season.

256
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:11,799
Speaker 2: At times, DJ Moore has.

257
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,799
Speaker 1: Appeared frustrated, disgruntled on the field, and if you watched

258
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,600
the Bears against the Cardinals this past weekend. There was

259
00:13:17,639 --> 00:13:20,879
one play where Williams extended the play with his legs

260
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,799
to the left side of the field and DJ Moore

261
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,039
literally ran out the field as if it was over

262
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,120
and went to the bench. He seems mentally checked out,

263
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,000
and that reflects on his season long stats to this point.

264
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,200
It's unacceptable for being a pros pro having no diva

265
00:13:35,279 --> 00:13:38,600
or drama mentality before. I'm not quite sure what's going

266
00:13:38,639 --> 00:13:41,759
out in djmore. Another glaring issue is certainly if it's

267
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:44,960
a coordinator Shane Waldrin who calls a bland and predictable

268
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,679
game plan, and that was a reason Seattle moved on

269
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,240
to O c Ryan Grubb out of Washington in college.

270
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,320
All those factors in play no longer DJ Moore is

271
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,080
safe wide receiver two. Instead, he's more on the wide

272
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,279
receiver three or even flex radar. Despite his name recognition

273
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,279
and career norms or previous production, it's reality situation here.

274
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,039
He is locked in, however, with Chicago after signing his

275
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,519
four year, one hundred and ten million dollars extension eighty

276
00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:10,720
one point five to two five million, which is guaranteed

277
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,480
that keeps him under contract till twenty thirty. In other words,

278
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:16,279
DJ Moore, unless he's traded, has to get on the

279
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,679
same page with Cale Williams.

280
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: And each of them need to work together.

281
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: They're iron things out and find a way to build

282
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,759
a consistent rapport. Perhaps DJ Moore is not used to

283
00:14:24,759 --> 00:14:28,120
giving up ample volume to the ascending Romadoonze or another

284
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,080
veteran like Keenan Allen cole Comet at times and Andre Swift,

285
00:14:32,279 --> 00:14:35,480
but something has gone wrong for DJ Moore. I do

286
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:37,960
think he's somewhat of a by Low in dynasty, quite honestly,

287
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,919
because we've seen that one hundred and five yeard performance.

288
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,840
Seventy eight yards even early on the season are still

289
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,879
glimmers of hope what we're used to seeing out of

290
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,440
him on more so the wide receiver two or wide

291
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,679
receiver one map. Now, what would I spend to get

292
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,360
Dj Moore late first? I think is most realistic, because

293
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,480
who's going to spend early to mid when he's going

294
00:14:58,519 --> 00:15:00,440
to be twenty eight this upcoming April.

295
00:15:00,679 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: There's more by Low than sell high.

296
00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:04,759
Speaker 1: Appeal here, so check in if you're a team that

297
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:06,799
needs that one piece to push it over the top.

298
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,759
I would not be surprised if Shane Waldron or head

299
00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:13,080
coach Matt Eberfuss are fired at some point this season

300
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,080
and there's a new offensive philosophy and DJ Moore gets

301
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,639
back on track, but for the time being he's in

302
00:15:18,759 --> 00:15:22,039
ben consideration. Unfortunately letter grade of a D. Unless you

303
00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:23,960
have better options, just ride the wave and hope it

304
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,679
pans out. No question though at DJ Moore has been

305
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,759
a bust in twenty twenty four and then.

306
00:15:28,679 --> 00:15:29,799
Speaker 2: Earning a lettergrade of an F.

307
00:15:29,919 --> 00:15:33,559
Speaker 1: It is not surprisingly Anthony Richardson, who turns twenty three

308
00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:35,879
in May, so with only twenty two right now, fourth

309
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,360
overall pick out of Florida last year, he only played

310
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,279
twenty four career games in college four eight and twelve

311
00:15:41,279 --> 00:15:43,759
by year as a rookie with the Colts, five hundred

312
00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:47,080
and seventy seven yards passing, three touchdowns, one pick, fifty

313
00:15:47,159 --> 00:15:49,320
nine and a half completion percentage, rake six point nine

314
00:15:49,399 --> 00:15:52,440
yards past attempt eighty seven point three passer rating, and

315
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,480
then the bread and butter of his game in fantasy

316
00:15:54,639 --> 00:15:57,200
as a rusher of twenty five about thirty six and

317
00:15:57,279 --> 00:15:59,879
four touchdowns. That was in four games played, so the

318
00:16:00,039 --> 00:16:04,519
sample size was incredible before sustain a season ending shoulder

319
00:16:04,559 --> 00:16:07,919
injury as a sophomore in twenty twenty four, assumed back

320
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,360
to full health, nine d fifty eight yards passing, four touchdowns,

321
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,679
seven interceptions, a forty four point four complete percenting is

322
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:17,440
rate ouch seven point two yards past attempt, and a

323
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:21,120
fifty seven point two passer rating dreadful forty one two

324
00:16:21,159 --> 00:16:23,799
forty two to one touchdown on the ground in sixteenth played,

325
00:16:23,799 --> 00:16:25,879
and we all know by now that he was benched

326
00:16:25,879 --> 00:16:27,639
in favor of Joe flacka who do not look all

327
00:16:27,679 --> 00:16:30,720
that great on Sunday night footballs a Vikings. That's a

328
00:16:30,759 --> 00:16:33,360
tough defense, more so defending the run, but for some

329
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,240
reason the Colts cannot get anything going either.

330
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: Through the air.

331
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:40,639
Speaker 1: Ar is a classic case of tools over proven talent.

332
00:16:40,919 --> 00:16:43,639
While there's plenty of untapped potential left in his future,

333
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:46,440
he cannot write him off. Rickinson is more of a

334
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,039
project than developmental player because his inefficiencies as a passer

335
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:53,799
were recognized in college as a red flag, and then

336
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,799
we saw them both as a rookie and four games

337
00:16:55,799 --> 00:16:58,279
played as a sophomore in the NFL and six games played.

338
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,879
You cannot complete the ball fifty nine a half percent

339
00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:02,759
of the time and then forty four and a half

340
00:17:02,759 --> 00:17:05,400
percent of the time with a passer rat in eighty

341
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,519
seven point three and the fifty seven point two year

342
00:17:07,519 --> 00:17:11,400
over year, and expect to have the support and confidence

343
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,559
of your head coach and if it's a coordinator. Anthony

344
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:16,720
Rigginson is like Cam Newton in fantasy where we wanted

345
00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:18,960
that sort of outlook or upside because of his rushing

346
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,440
ability and the rare size. The athletic profile sixty four

347
00:17:21,519 --> 00:17:23,279
two forty four are off the charts.

348
00:17:23,279 --> 00:17:24,799
Speaker 2: No one's going to deny that. But you have to

349
00:17:24,839 --> 00:17:25,839
be able to throw the football.

350
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 1: And as I mentioned, the red flags were on Richardson's

351
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,160
college resume even in school a career fifty four point

352
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:33,920
seven percent passer that.

353
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,319
Speaker 2: Was three undred nine three pairs attempts.

354
00:17:35,319 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: That's a lot of throws to project the talent from

355
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,960
college to the pro level when defensive schemes and coverages

356
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,400
are even more difficult. In the NFL, he had twenty

357
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,200
four touchdowns fifteen interceptions. The only thing again that kept

358
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:50,960
him afloat was the Russian skills one hundred and sixty

359
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,640
one eleven sixteen and twelve touchdowns in total, and that

360
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,079
did indeed transfer over to the pro level, but also

361
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,319
made him a one mentional quarterback full circle here in

362
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,880
ten career games played as a pro. I think that

363
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,039
means it's too soon to cast off Fridgerinson from ever

364
00:18:06,079 --> 00:18:08,880
being relevant again. I do think though it's early. Similar

365
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,240
to Justin Fields with the Bears, who was a polarizing

366
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,559
talent out of Ohio States due to his passing and consistencies,

367
00:18:15,759 --> 00:18:18,680
the same applies to Ar and I don't think it

368
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,039
would be a shock if the Colts decided to move

369
00:18:21,079 --> 00:18:23,839
on or trade Rigerson during the offseason. I don't think

370
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,759
right now there's much leverage or appeal to do so

371
00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:29,079
because he's coming off a six game sample size that

372
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,480
was outright horrible.

373
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 2: But that could be the exit.

374
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: If Joe Flacco can take the Colts to the playoffs,

375
00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:37,480
then they're going to have a later on set of

376
00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:39,920
draft capital to begin with. It's a lot of speculation,

377
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,680
but bottom line is for Shane Stikeen and Chris Bauer

378
00:18:43,759 --> 00:18:47,119
to pull the plug what was deemed a franchise caliber

379
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,359
changing quarterback in Ar speaks volume, so we have to

380
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,440
follow suit and assume that even though you relied on

381
00:18:53,519 --> 00:18:56,519
him as your quarterback one in any format this year.

382
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,640
We don't know if or when see the field again four,

383
00:19:00,759 --> 00:19:04,240
So unfortunately, he is a stash or holding dynasty unless

384
00:19:04,279 --> 00:19:06,640
you can swoop in for a major by low.

385
00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 2: It's just like Fields.

386
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: There might not be much of a trade market where

387
00:19:11,039 --> 00:19:14,400
Fields had to settle to battle Russell Wilson and then

388
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,839
eventually take the back seat. This is how one dimensional

389
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,319
quarterbacks like Richardson or Fields unfortunately seem to end up.

390
00:19:22,319 --> 00:19:24,319
I think it's a great reminder too that as we

391
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,440
scout talent from the college level to the pro level,

392
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,519
the traits of being a pocket passer or having better

393
00:19:31,079 --> 00:19:36,160
pass first than rushing skills is crucial in projecting talent

394
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,119
to the next level. If there's exception to the rule,

395
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,200
it's going to be the likes of Jaden Daniels or

396
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,240
Lamar Jackson, where they're a quarterback or running back combined,

397
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,480
but their past capabilities are in line with other top

398
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,079
tier quarterbacks. No one ever analysts or NFL scouts for

399
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,640
that matter, described or touted Richardson as a really good

400
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,599
passing quarterback was sound fundamentally with good touch. It was

401
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,200
the opposite, and we saw coming to fruition this season

402
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,759
when he got benched, hence lettergrade of an F. Thank

403
00:20:03,759 --> 00:20:05,720
you all for listening. A quick recap of my second

404
00:20:05,759 --> 00:20:09,480
quarter report card. Lettergrade of an A was A flowers,

405
00:20:09,599 --> 00:20:11,039
b lamacacky, C.

406
00:20:11,279 --> 00:20:11,519
Speaker 2: CJ.

407
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,759
Speaker 1: Stroud, D, DJ Moore, and F Anthony Richardson. Thanks again

408
00:20:15,799 --> 00:20:18,599
for listening. Let you all in week ten until next time.

409
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,799
This is the dynasty of checking out, taught to you

410
