Week 7 Studs & Stinkers + Weekly Rewind, Monday Punday

Drop passes. I was going to say there were a lot of drop passes, fumbles by other players. You know, it was, I'm sure, frustrating for Russell Wilson as well because it's like every time he's on the move, he'd make a good play that wouldn't count. Or, you know, at the end, you know, he threw it to D.K. Metcalf who then fumbles and then the drive is over. And you don't have Will Disley anymore. Sure. We can't underestimate that impact he was making. And Chris Carson and the running game.

They couldn't get it going. Carson had a ton of volume, 21 carries, but only 65 yards. He was coming off of three straight games of over 100. I think that played a bigger role in slowing this offense down. At running back, we've got David Johnson. He had one carry for two yards, and that's it. He stood on the sideline the rest of the game. We'll see if he's active this week. Melvin Gordon, Carry on Johnson. We talked about them. David...

All right, we have to, all right, we get to start talking about it. All right. David Montgomery received two carries. He fumbled the second carry, which came in the second half. I was talking to Jason before the game saying, do I start Adrian Peterson or do I start David Montgomery? And last second, I went Peterson. And this is not an Adrian Peterson sloshing victory lap. But oh my gosh, he was so much better than David Montgomery was. I mean, do we, I think we have to just take the L.

on David Montgomery. He has shown very, very little, and Matt Nagy is the least trustworthy coach in football. Does he belong? Sincere question. Does David Montgomery belong on your bench? Oh, you're saying as opposed to dropping him? Yes. Does he belong on your bench as opposed to dropping him? Because we're out there. We're looking at all these other players that get opportunities. Look, two carries. Two. The thing is about that. Seven total carries in a game.

I realize that that is now obviously in the realm of possibility for Matt Nagy, but that is also not the norm. This is an outlier extreme. They were down so much. 54 ugly passes. Oh, man. Tribisky sucks. I mean, this isn't even like a hot take. You know.

Mark Walton. Should he be on your bench over David Montgomery? These are the questions that you have to ask if you take the preseason hype out of it, don't you? Well, Mark Walton, that one's a very, very interesting thing. Do you take the starting running back for a terrible team? But Mark Walton showed out. He looked pretty good in his work against the Buffalo Bills. I don't think David Montgomery is a drop because running backs are tough to come by.

And there could be better days ahead. We're in like the exact opposite situation as the Vikings here with the Bears. At the beginning of the season, Kirk Cousins, week one throws the ball, what, 10 times? Stefan Diggs is just garbage, garbage, garbage. And then they were able to figure things out. That's why I don't think that Montgomery is a drop. I'm not...

saying with full confidence that the Bears are going to figure out the running game by the end of the year. But that happens in the NFL. Yes. They also don't get the luxury of figuring it out if their defense isn't what it was under Vig Fangio. And right now, Chuck Pugano does not have them. Their linebackers can't stop the running game. Two straight games of over 100 yards. If they're behind, you got it. Matt Nagy is the kind of coach that pulls the running game off the table when they're behind. That's the fear and worry. And if two carries is in the range of outcomes, holy moly.

Do we have a, do they, they should be begging for Jordan Howard back, the disrespect they showed him? The Bears should trade for Matt Ryan. Why would the Falcons trade that's a weird thing? That's a weird take. No, I, there were, there were reports coming out. What about Matt Moore? That might be better. Coming out from beat writers and saying that the Falcons should trade Matt Ryan for picks because the Falcons are, what? Well, the Falcons window. I mean, I don't know.

I think it's dumb. That's, that's absolute insanity to me. Trade Matt Ryan? No, that makes no sense. He's 34. Like, you have, you have multiple years. That's, that's people getting clicks. Shame on you. Okay, all right, okay. How about this? Trade for anyone. Aaron Rogers. Trade for Kyle Allen. You're, you know who you're sleeping in the Trubisky bed, Matt Nagy. You're sleeping in it.

And while you sleep, you can dream about Deshaun Watson, you can dream about Patrick Mahomes. And Bears fans out there, I'm sorry. I'm super sorry. Yeah, it's up. Because you were one shankopotamus from, you know, the title game. And now you're here. And you know where you're at, right? Yeah. We all know. You're grimacing. You're looking at your friends. You want to know how long you're going to be buried here under the Trubisky.

Bairie. I see what he did there. Very nice. There's a reason Jay Gris wasn't here this morning at all. He's not even in the office. He's disgusted. He's in a cave. He's hibernating. The truth is, is David Montgomery was going to be a player if this offense was good. It's a bad offense. So right now, it's just a terrifying situation. Jordan Howard has 347 rushing yards on the season. The Bears have 300. Jordan Howard's in a committee on Philadelphia. He has more rushing yards in the entire Bears team. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry. Things got very stinky, very quickly. Devonta Freeman, he had a terrible game and then decided to try to punch the lights out of Aaron Donald. That didn't work. What are you doing, man? Frustrations boiling over. He wanted an excuse for his fantasy output. And this is why I said, do I trust Devonta Freeman? No.

I will never trust him. Yes, you foresaw the ejection? No, I just know that he is an untrustworthy fantasy. Well, now Edo Smith may be out for a while. That is true. Do you think Freeman can control the right hook? I think he will not be, he will not be ejected for future fights. A big stinker game for Mark Ingram, 12-4-46, no touchdowns. Only one catch has the buy week coming up. Marlon Mack, 18 for 44. Disappointing.

Houston, yeah, it is disappointing. Like I said, Houston said, hey, we're going to take away Matt, and they still lost. Devin Singletary, this was not, this was a tough start to me. I think that's unfair. First game back. Yeah, we had talked about him on the show that, yes, he has a sneaky start potential that he has juice, but he's only carried the ball 10 times. It's his first game back from the injury. We weren't. Game script was not what we thought. Yeah, and there are better days ahead.

Coming for Devin Singletary. I found it encouraging that the first week he could be back, they made T.J. Eldon inactive. And they brought Devin Singletary and made him active. That's a good sign for things to come. But it was a scary start. Miles Sanders didn't do much. Six for 21. Tough play right now. All right. Kenny Gallaudet. Kenny Gallaudet was one for 21.

on two targets. He's been balling out. He's been a monster and he's still 100% great and fine. You know, not everybody's bad lines are the same. There's a reason for everybody's poor games. Well, the reason for his poor game is simply that his quarterback and another wide receiver balled out. He doesn't get an option when Marvin Jones has catched four touchdowns. So it sucks if you had him, but he's fine. Gulliday's been the wide receiver to own in four of the six weeks.

The two weeks that Marvin Jones caught touchdowns, Galladay had 2.7 and 2.6 fantasy points. So you're just rolling the dice. I mean, that's what it is. Can't they just kind of share? Can't they get along better and be like, one for you? One for you. Can you? Can Marvin catch it and say, no, I actually, I give this away. I bequeath.

This touchdown. I know I caught it, but give the stats to Kenny Galladay. The weird thing was the targets. It actually wasn't, you know, touchdowns, they go wherever. But the preceding five games, 9, 9, 8, 10, 9. In this game, two targets. Yeah, it was just weird. They found something that worked. And it was the guy who, whoever was covering Marvin Jones. All right. Next on the list, Larry Fitzgerald, only coming through with three targets. But like we said, Chase Edmonds, this one.

you couldn't see it coming. This was very disappointing. Don't get me wrong. Kyler's fantasy output, that sucked. But it's because Chase Edmonds could not be stopped. Terry McLaurin, he had turned close to a full bench after the weather reports were coming in. Will Fuller got hurt. Michael Gallup, this one doesn't make sense and was really disappointing. It's two bad weeks in a row for Gallup after we thought he kind of leveled up.

That's the truth. Against Philadelphia secondary, the, it was, everything was there, but Cooper, Cooper had a great game. Tavon Austin got one of the touchdowns. He did. Jeff Swain. No, not Jeff Swain. Blake Jarwin. Blake Jarwin. Blake Jarwin. They are not. Jeff Swain is on the IR. And Blake Jarwin. Jeff Jarwin? Blake Swain. Exactly.

Blake Jarwin, baby. Let's go. Yeah, it just didn't, it didn't go his way. I've got really sad news for you. I don't want to hear it then. Jason Moore put up zero, zero and zero on zero targets. Why didn't you tell us, Jason? I mean, you went out there and you basically... Look, the... I heard the show last week. Jason Moore...

was your 100% fab guarantee waiver pickup. Right. And the thing is, is he still is. Which I didn't even realize it's the same name as you. Oh, yeah. No. That coincidence. He's still the number one waiver pickup. The Tennessee. Each every week? Yes. The Titans defense gets all the credit. They played great against me. And I'm going to show out next week. Just keep trust. Is your route tree developing a little bit more than what we saw this week? Two routes now. Okay. Two routes. I can run. And then I can run and stop.

Okay. So those are two. All right. Work harder. Gusen. Evan Engram, maybe the most disappointing player of the week against Arizona. 100% the most disappointing. Rhett Allison got the bomb touchdown. Yeah, Evan Engram missed some time with going off the field for injury. Should have a huge game. Should have had a huge game. Had a monster drop. Evan Engram now balls out every week.

Except when he's facing an unbelievable tight end matchup. It got in his head. If he saw he had the gloves on, drops the pass, takes the gloves off. It was the gloves fault. Yeah, it's raining. I'm going to be better without these gloves. Turns out I'm not one for six. Up.

poop in his big boy pants against Arizona. And Rhett Allison ends up catching the touchdown. That way Arizona still looks terrible against tight ends. Because they are. Because they are. Yeah. The top tight ends really stunk it up. I mean. Ertz. Now is Andrews, kiddle? Is Ertz a problem? Like is, is Goddard a problem for Erts in the sense that Great Ertz is, does he exist? Yeah, he exists. He exists. Just a down game.

Would you believe? The thing is, Ertz is fine. So I'm not saying this as like, you, Zach Ertz move away from him, trade him away. He's a reliable tight end. But the upside of Zach Ertz disappears when there's other guys who take the targets. And Dallas Goddard is is one of those guys. But he's not, it's been pretty bad. I mean, look, we're seven weeks in. And it's, it doesn't take much to be a top 12 tight end. It doesn't take much at all.

Of the seven weeks, he's only been a top 12 tied in two times. I mean, he's sucked. Yeah, they are. I mean, double-digit fantasy points. He's sucked for expectations because he's the lab, before this 38 yards, he was averaging over 50 yards a game. Part of the preseason talk about Zekertz was tempering expectations and whether you were willing to spend a third round pick on him because historical career data versus.

Last year's insane target numbers, they didn't add up. And Ernst can produce when he gets targets. He still had seven last night or five. Preceding weeks, nine, seven targets. So the offense is not moving. Right. Deshaun Jackson. Yeah, I mean, you have to downgrade your expectation. Yes. I miss you, Deshawn. I miss you. Darren fell back to Earth. Two for 27 on two targets. Oh, what? I'm sorry. It's almost as though.

He's there and fells. Stinkers of the week presented by odor eaters. Otor eaters, the best in foot odor defense. Oh, and my, look, we know all about it. My son knows all about it. Odor eaters is taking care of business. Oh, in the right house. Fixing problems. Yeah. He got the stank feet. Oh, your son does. Yes. Like the post. Not anymore. Post. Oh, that's what I'm saying. Think feet? Yes. Inherited? No, not. Oh, good question. Probably from the wife. Oh, great. Yes.
