I mean, he ran the second most routes of any tight end and ended up. Goosing. Colston Loveland. Where yet, dog? One of them should have been a touchdown. All I can take is that the Bears were, the Bears offense was amazing. They're going to score a bunch of points. He ran the second most routes of any tight end in week one. It will happen. But the fact that we have a zero.

68:26 ↗

as our floor, that felt impossible. Yeah, this is the behind the scenes metrics of the offense is great and he's running the most routes, says you can trade for him, you could be confident that good games are coming. But I will say that the one fear that I had coming in for the Bears was, was Khalif Raymond. No, was that if the Bears were really good and Colson Loveland's good and Roma Dunes is good and Luther Burton is good, that.

68:54 ↗

it will be there taking turns and you won't necessarily have everybody dominating or anyone being super consistent. That would be my fear going forward. It was just like, we're going to have great Loveland games. You're just going to have some bad ones. We're going to have great burden games. You're just going to have some bad ones along the way. And it's a scary proposition from a consistency standpoint. Which is the biggest challenge with tight ends because here's another guy. Kyle Pitts, Cooper Rush. Yeah, you got to.

69:24 ↗

just throw it out until you've got the starting quarterback. I feel okay with Pitts with Pennix, but I mean, not as good as I did with Tuah. I think it'll be. How many backspous are we going to get there, by the way? I think it'll be one week. Is that contagious? I would be surprised if Rush plays this next week. George Kiddle five targets, two for 12, coming back from injury. Harold Fanon, this one sucked. Harold Fanon, the second Shadoor has made the starter, I would make him a trade for a target. Yes. But not before. He, Shadour will start.

69:51 ↗

So if you mean, if you want to go through four starters this year. Yeah, but I think Andy's point is if Shador doesn't start until week five. Yeah. I don't think you want to trade for Fanon right now and have a month of Watson version of Fanon. Well, it was when we had looked at the, so they start with two road games. So Jacksonville and then Tampa Bay. And when I was looking at it after the announcement of, oh, Watson's going to be the starter. It's like, hmm, I don't know, two road games. Just let Watson go out there and.

70:21 ↗

Fall in his face. And either you're like, whoa, we're surprised. Deshaun Watson remembered how to play quarterback, which he hasn't done well for, I don't know, four years or something. Or we go on the road, we take those losses and then we get back home and then should, I don't think financially the game. Can we do it though? As like, like if you take him out after two weeks, that'd be the best thing for the team. For sure. Well, that's what I'm saying of week three when they come home. If Deshaun Watson is terrible in week two,

70:51 ↗

When, win. This is all just optics and theater and everything. But to go to your home opener after Watson destroyed your team for two weeks. Oh, and get him booed? Yeah. Oh, he will, the booze will be so loud. Yeah, you either switch him out after the first quarter of that game or you do it beforehand. As it turns out, Watson, the fans not liking you is also performance based.

71:18 ↗

It's personal, but it is also your performance. It's everything. It is personal and performance. Yes. Yes. It is. And there are some teams this week that they had some rough weeks, and I would not feel like I was happy if I was their fans. Waiver show tomorrow. So we'll talk about our first week one Waiver show. Don't forget we got Waiver pickup specific to your league inside of the ultimate dashboard. If you want access to the entire suite of in-season tools,
