We have Kevin Stefanski saying it's likely he will miss more than three games.

Did you just, did you have your first burp? What was that? That was a sort of exhale? That was an exhale while not allowing any of the air to leave my mouth. Rough estimate is four to six weeks. This is actually important on a lot of fronts, obviously just specifically with Cream Hunt, but I was thinking about, you know, is this a season end? Do you go and try to pick up Nick Chup on the cheat? Because he's back in a couple more weeks. Right. And.

You know, you start to think about what holds him back in the offense is some of the utilization on third down, some of the potential goal line sacrifices that he makes for Cream Hunt to come in. Those things could be removed. Now, there could still be an argument for that, but, you know, maybe that window is three weeks for Nick Chub. And, you know, Nick Chubb coming off an injury for three weeks is maybe, you know, Deerness Johnson and Felton get involved. So I guess I'm not kind of neutral on that strategy at this time.

Yeah, it's really hard to see how it's going to play out. Obviously, we're going to have the next few weeks to watch and see how good to Ernest Johnson had Felton look. Felton was involved in kind of the passing game prior to these injuries. So I'd imagine that some of those looks that you're talking about with Nick Chub being taken off the field for Cream Hunt, I would think Felton would slide in on some, but certainly not all.

wide receiver studs huge game for the second week in a row for cd lamb probably a bit of an exhale people were you know we had the green room show a couple weeks ago he was one of the i'm a little worried because he had had a couple down games nine for one forty nine and two so wide receiver eight on the season going into the by week coming out against minnesota and denver cd lamb is fine he's great as is cooper cup nine for one thirty and two cup a cup a cup of coffee man

Keep getting in that end zone, Cooper. Keep doing it. It's easy for him. He's on pace for 130 catches, 1,8, 150 yards and 20 touchdowns. On 192 targets. You love to see it. And Robert Woods got back in the end zone, although he only had a couple catches. Yeah. He had a Cooper Cup, couple catches. Oof. That's how many he, Cooper Cup chooses each game. How many to give up? It's like pouring out the Halloween candy. I'll give you the bubble gum.

Yeah, Adam Thielen. Big week for Adam Thielen. He ended up 11, hot, hot, 11 for 11 for 126 and 1. The 13 targets was the big surprise. Like Thielen hasn't been the volume guy over the last like year and a half. So it was just wonderful to see now this game. Jefferson was still eight for 80. So yeah, this game had a lot of points scored.

Yeah, just some extra time. Man, the field goals for Minnesota. Every single game that Minnesota is involved in this year has just been crazy finish, just wild. Donovan People's Jones had two touchdowns, one of which was a Hail Mary. At halftime. At halftime, which was wild. I'm not really chasing People's Jones. I think he's a good player, but you're going to have Landry back. Beckham's fine.

Jalen Waddle had 13 targets. I mean, when you're missing, Devante Parker, Preston Williams, Will Fuller. This is what we expected from Waddle last week. We got it this week. 10 for 70 and 2. He's going to be an opportunistic play. Atlanta. Okay. If those guys are still out. Marvin Jones, nice bounce back performance. Yeah, there you are, Marvin. We were missing you. We did.

It didn't make any sense that he wasn't getting it done. And so now you can confidently bench him because it's a bye week. Yeah. Seven for 101. Antonio Brown with the big week on Thursday. Cortland Sutton. Look, this Denver game was ridiculous for an evaluate. For me, it's hard to evaluate it because they were playing in full, you know. Oh, the garbage man can.

For a half. I mean, it was a half of Teddy Bridgewater alternating between targeting Sutton and I know Noah Phant must have heard me on the show went out and had his best game of the year. But Bridgewater would throw an interception. Yeah. And then he would target Sutton and Fant over and over and over again, then throw another interception. And there just wasn't a lot of real football strategy in this game. No, I understand that for evaluation purposes. It was a very...

wild game. The Raiders came out with all the hullabaloo surrounding the organization and Gruden. They came out motivated and wiped the floor with them. That being said, the 14 targets at least at, you know, garbage or otherwise, you see he's being targeted. And if you really look back to that week two breakout when Judy went down, we've talked about this. He has only had two bad games. It was one against the Jets where they were up and they didn't need to throw the ball at all. And then a tough game against Baltimore. But.

You're talking 12 targets, 11 targets, and 14 targets in the other three games. So Sutton, I think he's just a really good player. Yeah, Tim Patrick didn't miss some time in this game. Probably speaks more to no offense involvement as well. DeAndre Hopkins, AJ Green and Christian Kirk all scored. Hopkins had two touchdowns. Green led the way, 5 for 79 and 1. Christian Kirk nearly a mirror finish, 5 for 75 and 1.

Everyone gets a TD in Arizona. Everyone's happy with the roulette this week. Other than Ron Dale Moore. That's fair. Yeah. There's not enough to go around there. Man, outside of that Hell Mary, Arizona held Cleveland's offense to seven total points on the whole day. Might be wanting to consider that defense. I mean, next week it's, well, just in the future. It doesn't seem to matter where they go. They're pretty solid through and through. And Chandler Jones was not even a part of it.

And neither was Zach Allen, who had two sacks the week before, defensive end. Noah Fant, Mike Gisicki, Mark Andrews, huge weeks. Fant had 11 targets, negative game script, 9 for 97 and a touchdown. Gisicki continues to be valuable despite the switch back to Tula. So that was kind of a big deal. And Mark Andrews, I think a lot of that, too, with Miami's their defense is just not that good. You know, this defense was something that...

You know, they will be in these negative game scripts moving forward. Mark Andrews delivered with another touchdown. Mark Andrews has been incredible over the last month. Hasn't had a, you know, he's been very inconsistent over the last year or so. But the last four games, all solid games, all extremely involved. He has four points behind Travis Kelsey for the season. So Nick Chubb was not placed on IR, Brooks? I don't believe so. Okay. So they're saying he's.

Really? He's progressing well this week. Did we get misinformation on that? Maybe. Hmm. We'll have to vet that. Interesting. Yeah. Stephansky's saying he's not ruling out Nick Chup. Huh? So I'll apologize if that was, if we conveyed IR when he's not on IR. Interesting. We're getting like a constant stream of Browns News during the show today. So we're reacting with you.

If so, then I would go trade for Nick Schup. Okay. Yeah, that's a huge window for him. And it's going to have implications on Deerunis Fab spent. Sure. O.J. Howard had the interestingly good week. I don't know if Gronk's coming back soon. I would think so. Kelsey was Kelsey. Ricky Seals Jones, four for 58 in a touchdown. Yeah, he came through in the. And Hawkinson, 11 targets.

There he is. One of the worst games by a quarterback in a long time. Did you see Dan Campbell talking about Jared Gough? What was his quote? Oh, brother. So he starts out saying he doesn't think he can really, it's fair to evaluate him. And then he takes this pause. And this is the most dramatic pause I've ever seen in my entire life. Every movie included. It looks like he's about to cry. He's just thinking and thinking and thinking.

holding his breath, and then he finally talks again. You, I mean, you were, you were just, what is he going to say? Is something going on? And he just says, he needs, we need more from him. He needs to do more. He needs to be better. He needs to step up. He needs to, like, he just basically said, yeah, you're not playing well enough, Jared Goff, do better.

We want to win. It was like he was like, should I put him on blast? And then he had a fight with himself in his head. And then was like, yeah, I think he just deserves to be put on blast. The last two weeks, Geragoff has attempted 35 and then this past week, 48 or I'm sorry, 42 passes. He has achieved 203 and 202 yards in those two weeks. When you attempt 42 passes and you end up with 200 yards. Well, he got, he had a good amount of interceptions this week, though. That's good. I mean, that's good, right? Just one. Just one.

Oh, for real? Yeah. Oh. But he did have a 4.8 yards per attempt, and it's kind of a mess. Oh. Just a mess. That's disgusting. Speaking of disgusting. Poopped in his big boy pants. I was getting shoe dropping gifts on Twitter. Justin Herbert, 22 for 39, 195, and one. Gross. You can pretty much say gross to the chargers. I mean, they were the most disappointing. Yep.

entity of the weekend because Herbert died of a game disappointed. Keenan Allen disappointed. Mike Williams was non-existent. Austin Echler was bad. I mean, the just shows the key to the offense is Larry Roundtree. Yeah, he was out for this game. That's got to be. I mean, he was out last week too. Oh, your math does not check out. Amazingly, Lamar Jackson finished one spot higher on the week. I mean, 19 for 27, 167 and 1, 8 for 51 on the ground.

Two picks. Yeah, because stupid, oh, the Levy. Mike couldn't handle it. The Levy on Bell goal line free touchdown where he, if you didn't see the play, it was a read option. And the defense completely sold out to stop Lamar. Who would have thought you'd give the ball to Lev Bell? Yeah, I'm not saying it was the wrong play because it was, it works to perfection. And Lev Bell could have moonwalked into the end zone. That's how long he had. But it just was.
