align perfectly with the domestic abuse. There's also a category that the NFL is investigating a second incident. I don't know if you guys were aware of this. So it's still like my take on it, I think that Spencer Ware will be given another opportunity because this is how the NFL works. Kareem Hunt, not Spencer Ware. Oh, geez, sorry. Kareem Hunt will get another opportunity because that's how the NFL works. He's young. He will be cheap.

14:24 ↗

excellent football player and teams find ways to look the other way. Hopefully this is an excellent redemption story by the end. I don't know, but I think he'll get another chance. And when he does come back, his suspension is going to be eight to ten games. It might even be an entire year. If there is an actual second incident, then you're probably looking at an entire season for...

14:49 ↗

for a Kareem Hunt. So for fantasy owners moving on, Spencer Ware took over the lead job. Damian Williams got work, and then there's reports that the chiefs are expected to sign running back to C.J. Anderson. They're also meeting with Charkandik West. They'll probably sign one of those two guys at a minimum for a depth play. CJ Anderson is, that's a strange signing to me. Yeah, they need. They need Chard West more than they need C. Because you already have Spencer Ware. I mean, Spencer Ware and C.J. Anderson are.

15:17 ↗

really interchangeable guys. I mean, you, Damien Williams is the, the change of pace. Yeah, like, you're fine, I think, moving forward with Ware and Damien Williams, it just is a repeatable asset for your team to sign C.J. Anderson, so it would be strange to me. Expectations for Spencer Ware, though, moving forward. He has not Kareem Hunt on the football field. No, but volume on a high-scoring offense with a ton of opportunity. But we all saw that Damien Williams was,

15:46 ↗

was the more electrifying guy, but it was still all Spencer where there, Andy Reid has mentioned that this may be headed straight into a three-way running back committee with Ware Williams and Dearen Williams. You may have never heard of this player. Is it Darren or Daryl? Daryl. Oh, thank you, Daryl. I had not heard of Daryl. I didn't know who Daryl was until I had to dive into all of this over the weekend, which by the way, for, we got to talk about fantasy.

16:13 ↗

If you're in Dynasty and no one has picked up Darrell Williams, you really should because he's actually under contract next year, unlike Damien Williams or Spencer Ware, we don't know what's going to happen. So I think that Spencer Ware, I would consider him a running back two, mid-range running back two with the knowledge that this could be a three-person running back committee, which it would be really unfortunate for fantasy. AJ Green was carted off week 13 against the Broncos with a foot injury.

16:44 ↗

Thoughts? Yeah. Look, if there was the chance, I mean, we talked about this, the reason for AJ Green to come back is that he's fully healthy and there's no chance of, you know, re-aggravating that injury. If that's the type, he chose to come back when that wasn't the situation, re-injures the foot, did not look good. I doubt we see him again the rest of this year. It was not a good week for feet.

17:08 ↗

Greg Olson. They were undefeated. They were undefeated. Well done. Greg Olson also. Was that your feature joke? Oh, yes. We're back, everybody. We're back. It's Monday. Yeah, so we're not going to see Greg Olson or AJ Green the rest of the season. Tell the people what happened to Greg Olson. Greg Olson re-injured his foot. I mean, we knew that that was a.

17:37 ↗

That was, when he came back, I think he even said, I knew it was just a matter of time. This wasn't an injury that can go away. But the actual injury that was being reported, so we needed an official report, but what I had seen was he ruptured his planter fasciitis. Planter fascia. Yeah, that's not good. He didn't have theitis. He ruptured it. And if he knew this was going to happen,

18:04 ↗

You should not have played. No, I'm just good grief, Greg Olson. If I knew that this was a 1% option, that I could rupture my planter fascia, I'd say, fellas, I'm out. I'm out for the year. I'm out for my career. I'll be tapping everywhere I can. I'm out. No, thank you. Yeah, he basically said it was just a matter of time. He played as long as he could with it, and then it gave out. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Matt Breed. Thanks, Matt. Aggravated his ankle injury during pregame warmups.

18:32 ↗

That's the third time that I have suffered the Metbreed experience. See, now I bet you wish you're aligned with me where if a guy injures himself in pregame warnings that they would announce it. Yeah, it'd be cool. James Conner suffered a lower leg contusion, no timetable yet. Jason, have you heard anything about the severity of this injury? Yeah, what I've seen is that there's, so Mike Tomlin came out, said that it was a contusion. Pro football doc, who is excellent usually on it.

19:01 ↗

is pretty much saying there's no way. He believes it's going to be a high ankle sprain in very confident fashion, which he's not usually wrong on those things. So I would expect that he is not playing this coming week. I mean, that's my expectation, which we'll talk about on the Waver Wire show tomorrow, Jaywin Samuel, Stephen Ridley, get into those conversations. Jeff Wilson, Jr. I'll talk about him tomorrow to you. Yeah, certainly.

19:30 ↗

Yeah, a lot of injuries this week. Also, Chris Carson running back for Seattle. He did dislocate his finger. We're not expecting that to be serious, but after it happened, he did not come back in the game. However, they were, Seattle was winning the game handedly. Whopin, I believe is what they call that. Yes. The Arizona Cardinals are now responsible for firing to Mike McSumthings. Mike McCoy earlier this season let go as the Cardinals offensive coordinator and the Packers have fired.

19:57 ↗

In the aftermath of losing at home to the Arizona Cardinals for the first time. As 14 and a half point favorites. Since the 40s or something to that extent. Mike McCarthy is no longer the head coach of the Cleveland or of the, he's the future head coach of the Cleveland. Oh no. He's no longer the head coach. Don't do that to Baker? Of the Green Bay Packers. Now, if you watched Sunday night football, you saw Tony Dungy. He seemed extremely, extremely upset.

20:24 ↗

with the timing of the firing, the lack of respect, paid a guy who's made you the play, you know, been in the playoffs nine or 12 seasons. There is the other viewpoint that this was a merciful firing by the organization from McCarthy because he can now interview in advance of the end of the season, right? You'd ordinarily be in a situation where during the playoffs, a lot of people get interviewed, he wouldn't have been eligible for that. Either way, Aaron Rogers, moving on with a different head coach.

20:50 ↗

I brought up a name in the studio yesterday. I thought Josh McDaniels is. Oh, yeah. He's one of the top guys. He's licking his lips. Yeah. He's like, last time I went over, I just had to go to a team I could go that had a job. You're telling me now I can get Aaron Rogers? It's interesting, though, because I heard it debated on local radio. You know, would you rather be the head coach if you're McDaniels? Would you rather be handed the Cleveland Browns job or the Green Bay Packer job? That's a good question. And...

21:18 ↗

You know, the Packers is a much more illustrious organization in history, and you've got the great quarterback. But it's also a very high expectation job, right? You fail in Green Bay with Aaron Rogers. You're not getting a third chance at a head coaching gig. No, I agree. I would rather go to Baker where the expectations are low. You bring them out of the darkness. Yeah, you're the savior of Cleveland. And if you go and with Aaron Rogers fail, yeah, that's no good.

21:45 ↗

So there'll be a lot of other candidates for that job. They'll likely bring in an offensive mind. You've got the first, what, branch on the Sean McVeatry. I can't remember his name. He's the quarterback's coach right now for Los Angeles. He would be a candidate. Mike DeFilippo, Jeff DiFilippo in Minnesota, a candidate. So we'll find out who Aaron Rogers gets matched up with. Ultimately, it's a good thing for Aaron Rogers in that offense. John. Did I say Jeff? Yeah, thank.

22:15 ↗

Thank you. Monday night football updates before we get into the studmuffins. Josh Adams was added to the injury report on Saturday. He injured his hip. He's expected to play tonight. I'm tempering my expectations with Josh Adams tonight, though. You have just a, you know, Darren Sproles will be active for the first time in a while. Darren Sproles, if he's good at anything other than being injured, it's playing more than you think he will. Well, he's great at ruining a timeshare. I mean, if there's like, if you. That's on his resume. If you.

22:44 ↗

need to get out of a timeshare. You know, you hear the commercials of, you know, you've gotten in. You call Darren Sprouls and he's like, I can ruin the heck out of this time share. I'll get you out, man. I'll get you out.

22:57 ↗

but it's going to cost you. Yeah, I mean, I'm not excited about anybody. You don't want Clement. You don't want Sprouls. Mike's dialing the number right now. It's like, I got one I need out of. Wendell Smallwood has been irrelevant, but now with Josh Adams' late injury addition, you don't know. So it's really a situation where if you're playing Josh Adams, you're probably forced into that situation already. You're holding your breath, but I don't expect great things from any of them. You're hopeful that Josh Adams has himself.

23:26 ↗

a nice game. I feel like Andy skipped this bit of news out of spite for me because Adam Schefter's reporting that Melvin Gordon could return as soon as next week. If not next week, the team fully expects him for week 15. Yay. Foot Clan, if you got that by week, who, whoa, man.

23:47 ↗

Oh, man. Yay, I'm so happy. I am ecstatic. It fueled me all day yesterday. I know. You and I are arch rivals. I was hoping maybe to play you in the playoffs without him. That's very selfish. Everybody was. It's very selfish. I know a lot of the Foot Clan have Melvin Gordon. They're saying, Andy, come on, man. Yeah. Get behind me. And I say, no, I'd rather be Mike.

Patrick Mahomes. Four more. It's not fair. Four more touchdowns. It's not. He's over 40 touchdowns this season. That is usually reserved.

26:47 ↗

only for Aaron Rogers, Peyton Manning, first ballot Hall of Famers, not second year, for all intents and purposes, first year players. He's just not fair. Baltimore next week. That, Mahomes owners. It probably won't matter. If you watch this throw to Demetrius Harris, it defies any defense he faces. Is that game at home?

27:14 ↗

It's what it says here in the dock. Can you double check that, Brooks, just to confirm? Do you think that? That matters a lot, not that you have a decision you're going to change based off of it. Was Demetrius Harris wearing a Kevlar vest? Correct. Because I don't think that's possible for that ball to not go through him at the speed in which they are thrown. It's true. There's no defense you can play on that. No, there's not. And I live to watch Pat Mahom to get out of the pocket. I mean, that is.
