not be active. So this should be a two-man group. You do get a little scared. You saw Moali Cox used, you know, I was surprised last week when all three were active. He was getting some routes down the field. And I mean, he is, I don't understand why he's not their number one most tight in because nobody does. Use Gigantor. Use them appropriately. I know that there's a lot that goes into the tight-in position behind the scenes.

55:20 ↗

especially when it comes to run blocking. Yes. You know, so hopefully he just keeps getting more and more worked in. Would you pick Trey Burton over Mawley Cox in this match? I mean, I want to go with neither. Mow Ali Cox was on the field a little bit more. 51% of the snaps compared to 43% for Trey Burton. However, Burton did have the four targets. It only turned into one reception for six yards. Not happy with that, but...

55:50 ↗

I think I would still go with Trey Burton over Mowley if I had to make that decision. On the other side of the ball, AJ Brown, wide receiver one, super stud. He has locked and loaded. He has a touchdown in five straight, seven targets in every game this year. He is fantastic. Corey Davis, just when you thought you could play Corey Davis, just when you thought it was safe to get back in the water. You get the goose. You got the goose. Now, we talked about this.

56:18 ↗

last week, the fact that if people were dropping Corey Davis, I would personally look to pick him up. Now, unfortunately, this isn't a great matchup, but one of the things you have to consider in this goose is that Ryan Tannahill completed 10 passes. So most of the offense was goose. I mean, if you go back, you know, a couple of weeks, week six against Houston, Ryan Tannahill completed 30 passes.

56:46 ↗

So it's just a matter of what is the prescription for this game. Do you expect it to be higher scoring? It's a 49 point over under. Do you expect them to have to throw the ball? It's a really good defense. And they're really, really good against running back. So maybe this isn't a Derek Henry game where they're going to need to pass the ball more. I don't know that I would play Corey Davis, but I would roster him. Yeah, I can agree with that. This isn't the matchup that I want to put Corey Davis in. But speaking of the running backs,

57:16 ↗

This is, people are wondering, why aren't you talking about him? I was saving the best for last. Mm-hmm. The Indianapolis Colts running backs. Mm-hmm. What? Yeah, what do you do? Jonathan Taylor, who is their starter? He had the touchdown, right, this past week? Yes. Am I remembering that right? But Nahim Himes is still involved in the passing work. Jordan Wilkins is still involved in.

57:45 ↗

taking away Jonathan Taylor's carries, as we will call it. What are you doing? Are you starting anybody? Are you putting Jonathan Taylor down on the bench? Look, the matchup is good enough to start these running backs. You have to say, who do you believe it's going to be? The last two weeks, the carry count has been with Jordan Wilkins. I went and watched all the press conferences after yesterday's show to try to see.

58:10 ↗

What was really going on? Taylor had the fumble. Taylor had the fumble. And then he only touched the ball one time. And that was early. That was an early fumble. And Taylor only touched the ball one time the rest of the game. Then there was a lot of questions on the press conference about what's your confidence in him. He said he's super confident in him. But the offensive coordinator also did talk up Jordan Wilkins as someone that deserves to continue to get more work. So I think you're going to have.

58:39 ↗

a at least two-headed committee and probably three-headed with Naim Hines in there. If I had to start one, I'm starting Jonathan Taylor. And I would start Jonathan Taylor. I think he's, you know, someone that should finish the week around running back 15 to 18. The past two weeks have been the lowest snap share that Jonathan Taylor has seen on the season, and that includes week one where...

59:03 ↗

Everything was Nihim Hines after Marlon Mack went down with the Achilles injury. Right. And you don't want to excuse that and not pay attention to it. You don't want to say, well, here's the reason why, but you also need context for it. And know that it can happen again. If there's a fumble for Jonathan Taylor, he's done. So if you want to take that risk out. Yeah, I didn't take Frank Reich for a Bruce for a Bruce for a Bruchin. For a Coughlin.

59:30 ↗

I mean, what are you doing, Frank Reich? I hate when running back. Well, I will say this. The one thing that I might agree more with on Frank Reich is because Jonathan Taylor had a major fumbling problem in college. That was an issue. You fumble often and you lose games. I don't want to bench a running back who fumbles to make it get in their head and penalize them and, you know, whatnot. But at the same time,

59:58 ↗

you've got to make sure Jonathan Taylor knows the importance of not fumbling considering his history with it. So I think Jonathan Taylor comes out. They give him the confidence. They give him the lead role. He still looks like the better back to me. But if he fumbles again, watch out. Reminder, it is a Thursday game, so do not start a player in your flex position. Move them into the positional spot.
