Jason Moore and Mike Wright. Oh, Jason. Now, your introduction to the show there, unfortunately. First try. No, it was called back on a holding penalty. Oh, really? Yeah, I was actually called back. That was the C.J. Anderson of three roles. It was called back three times. See, you never, everybody out there hears Jason one time. We enjoyed hearing him three times. I had a, you know, look. Speaking is your forte. I know that I talk for a living.

But I'm not... The words are so hard to come out right. Yeah, said perfectly. Welcome to the podcast, the fancy footballers. Back again, Andy Mike and Jason. I was alluding to the insanity of being a C.G. Anderson owner last night. My goodness. I mean, it was comical on so many different levels, only because I guess a coach matters. I mean, I guess if Gary Kubiak's there, do they get 17 second half penalties?

I can't imagine they do, but at the same time, I can't imagine that makes a difference. I was asking you while we were watching the game, like, can this really matter? Are they like, well, you know, we can do whatever. Coach ain't here. Right, right, like the coach is out, so it's party time. Look, they had a stat there on the game last night. It was like 30 seconds into the fourth quarter. And the Broncos have eight second half penalties. And Jason goes, it's 30 seconds into the fourth quarter. Like, that's eight third quarter penalties.

That was a wacky. I did the math in our league, and I would have had 18 additional points if C.J. Anderson would not have had three major plays called back on. I have the stats, if you want to hear them. Oh, they hypothetical? Yeah. And none of those. I mean, maybe I'm wrong. No, you're not wrong on what you're going to say. But it seems like all of the penalty calls when I watched them were away from the play. Didn't have anything to do with C.J. Anderson. I completely agree. And so pro football focus tweeted out.

C.J. Anderson on plays not called back by penalty, 11 touches for 46 yards. Anderson on the plays where the offensive line got cold for holding, three touches for 47 yards and a touchdown. Yeah, so basically, I mean, a huge difference in the performance. And I hate, I had a matchup last night where I was C.J. Anderson versus Melvin Gordon. And I thought I was just dead the way the game script is going. And then they passed that ball to Anderson. He makes a great move. Fights into the end zone. I get up. I'm high-fiving Jason.

And I see the yellow again, and I just fell to the floor in. I should have taken a picture. I should have taken a picture of you because you were face down on the carpet. On the carpet for as long as the San Diego Chargers coach was hand was face palm. Yeah, McCoy was face palm in the, that was. So this is the quick question today to talk about the game from last night. So we're already into it. I cannot believe Mike McCoy's reactions. Can you imagine Bill Belichick with his hands?

in his face. He's a human being. Yeah, I'm not, I'm not going to crush him for it. He's a human feeling him. He's a human being, and I completely understand feeling that way. I am going to crush him for that, not in a mean way, but look, if I was the owner of the franchise, if I owned this as my entity and my leader of the players, my leader of the coaches and the guy who is in charge of running my hundreds of millions of dollars I'm spending,

is reacting that way when times are hard. I can't believe that he can lead them to victory. And honestly, you've seen these collapses. Credit for defeating the Super Bowl champions. Sure. They did win the game. But it is. It's a weird thing. You can tell that the pressure is breaking that guy over the last month. They're calling for his head and saying it. Well, you know what he was. Well, you know what he was looking at?

If they lose that game, is Mike McCoy employed right now by the San Diego Chargers? No, it's over. No way. Exactly. And you know, you look at the injuries. Keenan Allen, you know, to start the year off, losing Danny Woodhead, losing Teo. Teow. Like, there's five key injuries on that team. And that was last year and having no Joey Bosa to start the year, which was not McCoy's fault. I have no idea if McCoy is actually a good coach or not. I'm not saying that he's.

a bad coach. We haven't, it's not fair to judge him when he's had half of his team destroyed two years in a row, but he is broken now for this team in, in this moment. Fantasy headlines of the game, you know it's not good for the receiving cores of either team when Jordan Norwood is in the headlines and Hunter Henry leads all receivers. If you had a receiver on either team, you're pretty disappointed with last night's performance, whether it was Sanders, whether it was Demarius Thomas, the fumble from Demarius. I mean, that drive.

went from a touchdown and a three-point deficit, a four-point deficit, to nothing in two seconds with that holding call on the fumble. Tyrell Williams had three for 28, and that led the wide receivers on the San Diego side, which is just you got nothing. I mean, they went into full turtle mode, and they got away with it. So the only thing I'm going to ask you one thing, and that is... I think there should be two questions. Okay, two questions. Number one is Devante Booker, played well again.

Limited touches, but 5 for 46, 9.2. A carry. Is he a must own? Oh, absolutely. He is a must own. Even if you're not the CJ owner? Yes. Just as a, I still think he's a handcuff, but he's one of those very high value handcuffs. Would be huge if CJ went out. Yeah. But for CJ Anderson, we were talking about it before the show. Jason is a cell. I am going to try and.

sneak him away for extremely cheap. Look, if you have someone... We should talk. Well, if you have someone in your league who did not watch the game, and all they're looking at is a box score, and they're like, wow, C.J. Anderson was terrible. You heard me read the stat. Three touches for 47 yards and a touchdown called back. You have, I think it was not so much Booker. He was a nice spark, but you had Booker come in and rattle off a couple big runs. C.J. Anderson came in immediately after those runs were happening in the middle of the field.

and broke off a huge run. Like the offensive line was finally rolling, and that play got called back on a penalty. So these are things that are not showing up in his fantasy points. You get the productions. And then if you watch the whole game, C.J. Anderson is still the man for them. He was in far more. I don't have the snap percentages in front of me, but what my eyes were telling me is Anderson was in far more. It was crunch time. Anderson was in during that two-minute drill. That's where he patted his fantasy production and saved him.

Save me. Save me. So here's my argument for why I'm selling C.J. Anderson is because he got enough work with that garbage time to be able to still be seen as this top...

top back. But the reality is what happened the first two weeks, he was the only guy. Booker was barely used. And when I watched the game, just eyeballing it, I mean, you know, Andy and I were calling it out every single drive. Who's on the field? Who's out there? And the amount that Booker was in, I know that C.J. Anderson, I think, doubled him in touches. But Booker was in that game quite a lot. And the truth is you look and you go, okay, well, well, C.J. Anderson had a lot of catches.

But he was not looked at. He was wide open the whole game on those little screens. And he was completely ignored. It wasn't until that final drive where the game was pretty much over that he started just dumping him off to him. You take those out. I mean, you can say, okay, sure, he got those other plays called back. But he also benefited from extreme garbage time. So those kind of a little bit wash each other away. And what I saw was...

an okay back. I would like to own him, but he's not that top five back that we thought. And if you can get good value for him, that's why I would trade. The game scrapped in the offensive line have not been conducive to Anderson the last few weeks. I mean, they've been behind. And so I'll say Anderson's snap percentage according to pro football reference. 78%. Yeah, he was out there a lot. That's the guy I want on my team. Sure. It just didn't work out this week.

News and notes from around the league.

You know, we've done like, you know, 285 shows. Earlier in the week, Mike and Jason had a couple shows without me. And I listened to those shows, and I heard Mike at one point say that he couldn't push the button on the drops because of the depth. Like, you're looking down and you thought you were pushing. And this never happened to me in my life until just now. I went to push the button and because of how my microphone's lined up.

I pushed the air. I did not push it. I've never had that happen, and now I understand. We are falling apart mentally. Oh, it's Friday, you know. So some quick news for everybody. There is a weather advisory warning for the Atlanta-Seattle game. We have a storm front coming in. We will update you on that as well on Twitter. But implications there when a storm comes in, the passing game is affected. So, I mean, you're in Seattle. I think that's advantageous to.

Seattle. To the woke one. Yeah, yeah, perhaps. What's going on with Ryan Matthews? Well, he will not practice on Friday missing with an illness, but still fully expected to play for week six. All right. Today is Friday, which means lots of injury updates. We're going to run through our in and out, let you know who we think is playing this week. What's it going to pay me fly? Are you in or out? In or out, Cody Castler, quarterback of the Browns. I'm going to go with...

I'm going in. Yeah, in. He was already named the starter. He's, he's in. It's better for other players on the team than it is for Cody Kessler, obviously. He's my lowest rated quarterback this week. Eddie Lacey, in or out. This one is still tough to tell. I think it's going to be game time decision. I think he will play. Okay, that's what we're doing here. I'm going to go in as well, but it will be a close one. Mark Ingram. He's going to play. He missed it with an illness. I'm not concerned yet. Do we think Latavius Murray misses the second straight game?

Yes, I do. I do as well. Rashad Jennings, do you think he's going to play this week? I still don't think he's going to play this week. So you're a note. Mike, what do you think? I would say yes, but there is no way I'm starting him in any fantasy league. All right, he takes on the Ravens this week. Aryan Foster limited on Thursday. Is he back in business? He should be there for a couple plays. All right, Jeremy Hill. Are you saying because he's going to get in there and look great and then get injured again? I'm just saying he's Aaron Foster.
