I'm seeing 40.

Number two is Khalif Raymond. And then here, Luther Burden, with his eight catches, had 18 routes. Wow. Like the targets per route run are off the charts for him. Add it to the database. First, first real game with Caleb back. We'll keep building the analysis here and see what happens in the future weeks. Let's talk duds. Poopped in his big boy pants. I. Brother. Yeah, yeah. Jack.

What's going on here? The last two weeks for Dak, 34 for 54, through two disgusting interceptions. The pressure is getting to him. One of them was C.D. Lamb fell over. Yes, but, yeah. I'm not putting that one on deck. Yeah, that was unfortunate. But the, I don't know, there's been an accuracy issue with Dak the last two weeks. You've seen it on the field. He took a.

walloping early in that game. And I wondered coming back after, I was like, is he going to, is he going to look bad after that play? Because he got smushed. Yeah, if you want to know. And they were getting pressure. I haven't even looked at this number yet, but I bet it's going to be terrible. I'm going to go look. Yeah. So the last two weeks when targeting, like C.D. Lamb was 17 of 21 targets. The Tampa Bay game, remember how bad DAC? I mean, they lost that game. Remember how bad DAC looked accuracy-wise?

So between the Tampa Bay game and the Green Bay game, 48% catch percentage targeting C.D. Lamb, and you've watched these plays. It's not CEDY's fault. I mean, the falling over one. We can take that away. But, like, that's just been off. Yeah. And now the team is, what, two and four? Yeah, they're two and four. I mean, that is, talk about the most winnable division possible. Yeah, this could be if the commanders lose tonight.

This would be like the first time in a long time that the same division have had all four teams play in back-to-back weeks and all four teams don't win. Gross. Which is tough to do. Mahomes, this was no touchdowns for him. It was worthy, but not worthy of a start because he didn't get any passing touchdowns, had a pick. Bo Nix, we know the story. Oh, man. I'm going to go out on a limb here. I think Bo Nix will have a very, very good bounceback game against Arizona next week.

It's in Arizona. And one of the reasons I believe it is because there's been a report. Did you see this where the terminology report? I saw that, yeah. So like Davis Webb had a certain terminology that he was using. And then when Peyton took play calling back, he completely changed it. I think Peyton wants to kind of settle the narrative on Bo Nix this upcoming week. And we'll see if he's capable of doing it. But going to Arizona, Arizona just upset the Rams. I expect Boy Nix to have a pretty good week. I don't know if I'm going to go start of the week territory.

I think they'll get it figured out this week against the Cardinals. There is an all-time tweet out there from a big Mike who tweets, Bo Nix has the shortest name in NFL history, five letters. It is still longer than his average death of target 4.9. That's great. That's great. That's insanity. You see the video where they were showing? It was like, okay, if you were a baseball player, this is how many pitches it would take to get the home plate. I mean, you.

We'll see, come back. Come back to us and let me know what happens. Second half last week, the average throw was behind the line of scrimmage. I could do that. I would hope so. Peyton today says Bo Nix is going to become the byproduct of all the things that get improved, whatever that means. Running backs, it's rare to get Monday-Punday entries for Bijon Robinson, but they came in this week. Just nine for 61 in this game where they were getting boat raced. You'd think he'd be part of the solution to a boat race in the targets.

So, yeah, he says, of course he wishes. Kevin Sifansky says, of course he wishes he got the ball into Bijon hands earlier. Yeah. We're all trying to find the guy who did this. We obviously discussed Camp Scataboo already. Zero for zero for zero. Not startable right now. You got to wait for the redemption first. Derek Henry, just 17 for 58 with a fumble. A costly fumble. And then you have down games from Ramandre. Dude, that one was.

What? That was very... We need to look into this. So Ramandre was bad. Trayvion Henderson did play if you missed that. The Wolverine blood kicked in and he returned. But at the end of the game, Corey Kiner was the one getting all the clock killing carries. Well, we did know that Ramondre had been banged up going into last week's game. We thought he was going to miss last week's game. I don't know if they wanted to take the load off there and they obviously can't give it to Trayvion.

And then Bucky. Because Trayvion fumbled again, which is mind-blowing. Like you have one thing you can't do right now. They did put them back in after that. Bucky Irving had 85% of snaps. No Sean Tucker. Didn't get the goal line carry because they threw it. 19 carries. You like that, 46 yards. You don't like that. But we're going to get Baker back. Baker should be back, I think next week against Carolina. We'll see what happens there. Tyler Algier was awful. It was Bam Knight for Arizona.

There was a point in this game where Algier was eight for eight. Bam Knight having a great game against the Rams where Tyler Alger, who everyone started for fantasy is just garbage. Do you guys remember when I took the seemingly easiest lowest green goblin ever with Hampton, 11 and a half rushing yards? Yeah. He finished seven for 18. Congrats. I mean, this is. You sweating? Oh, I wasn't sweating because I didn't realize it was that low. I just thought it was an easy one.

Mike McDaniel, they're going into the buy. The Chargers, Harbaugh looks like he's going to literally pass out at the podium every week. He looks as dead as you can look like a corpse. And Mike McDaniel is not surviving the by week. Mike McDaniel will be gone. And in the best part of that will be, this show will benefit because taking over for Mike McDaniel will be none other than Adam Gaze.

Adam Gaze will be the new offensive coordinator. No. Of the charges. You're calling this? This is my near guarantee. Oh my gosh. He will be the interim offensive coordinator. Mike McDaniel will be. Nowhere to go but up, right? Selling tickets at the movie theater. Give me a bucket. This is what I think will happen during the by week. There is no, you can't. That would be absurd. I can't imagine retaining the by week. I can't imagine retaining.

McDaniel threw a by week when you're 0 and 6 and your offense hasn't been able to score 15 points or more than 15 points. It's just if Adam Gaze takes over. I want to know what the checks that these guys would write to not go to the podium anymore in Los Angeles. Because the questions Herbert was getting, but some of these questions, fine. You have a right to ask them, it's your job to inform the public. It's an entertainment product. We're the fans. We get to learn things.

But some of these questions are the dumbest questions I've never heard on the face of the planet. You know, it's stuff like, hey, hey, you know, Herbert, Justin, what do you think you need to do to get better? Well, I've got to go watch the film and I got to practice and I got to do this stuff. And then it's, well, didn't you do those things the first six weeks and they didn't work? So what else do you need to do? What else? How old to do?

I'm dumb. I just had this conversation with my wife. We were watching the Thursday night game. And I think the question for the coach is like, tell me about the courage you saw. And it's like banished. Give me control of this. All sideline interviews banished. We don't need them. Who wants those? Like they're always trash. It's the stupidest questions. They're not even real questions. If you want to ask the team that's winning a question.

At halftime? Cool. You want to go ask the losing team? But what are you even asking? It's ridiculous. Yeah, there's just nothing. It's just something. They never ask a real question. It's just something to make noise. They're like, here's my statement. How do you react to my statement? That's not a question. No, no. The crazy part is no one cares about this crap. Those people are paid a big salary. I know. Blown in. And like, that's a lot of money. I don't understand it. So basically, let's say you're giving up a bunch of yards to Ken Walker. You go to the sideline and you go, Ken Walker's doing a lot of damage to you. What do you do to stop it?

It's like the dumbest. We're trying to. Yeah, what do you think we're doing? Our tackling scheme is wrong. We prepared for Emmett. I hate that part of football so much. It's just a bunch of like, it's just production fluff. Yes. It isn't substantive. No. And that I hate it. If we can just unite against like these follow up insults that the reporters give. Because that's what they're not, they're not follow up questions. They're follow up insults.

It's a way to say something. They're trying to get them clicks. Yeah, it's a way to say something in the form of a question that is a pure insult to see if the person will respond with a they are who we thought they were type of thing. You're ugly. How do you respond? Yeah, it's like, what? Look, everybody out there noticed how bad your coaching was. Why is that? Yes. That's what I mean. Dude, sometimes. Some of that is really, really stupid. But I do think you've got to put pressure.

on these coaches you know like if if nothing comes Mike McDaniel needs to lose this job like should has to and I don't know if that happens it won't be because of yeah the media pointing out how bad he's been it will help well it could you can it could like I'm fine but like react to it on your sports shows like we're doing it right now but yeah why are we talking to the right I get what you're saying are we on wide receiver Ducks AJ Brown

We talked about it. One of the worst games imaginable dropped. He was a double agent. Five passes. He could have had a monster game. Yes. He should have had a touchdown in at least 70 yards. There is some footage of him or a clip I have him running around. Giving that to AJ Brown. Go watch. Go watch, Mike. This dude's moving at like 38% speed. He came back a week too early. Michael, I agree with that. Michael Wilson, four for 32. I mean. Jacoby percent sucks. Here's what's weird.

Well, he does. The Cardinals won, by the way. Yes. While scoring 18 points and no touchdown? Nearly identical statelines last two weeks for Michael Wilson. So you let go of Marv and the last two weeks. It's time to shine, Wilson. Four for 30, four for 32. Now, would you have said that the Cardinals had a good wide receiver room? No. When Marv was there.

Yeah, I would not. I think most people would say like the past catchers for the Cardinals were pretty good. Michael Wilson is good. Marv and Kendrick-Born. Suddenly, it's Jalen Brooks and Kendrick-Born under the two-three and it doesn't feel good. Marv needs to step up right now. Marv? Well, yes, I stand by it. Also, Michael Wilson needs to step up. He's on pace for a hundred and sixty-five targets, awesome, and not a thousand yards, which is difficult to do, but Jacobi Burset is not pushing the ball down in the field.

I know they won the game, but they won the game on field goals. The Cardinals have not been scoring. They are going to be a low scoring team. Last week they put up 21 points, but remember that 14 of those points came in absolute garb. Like fourth quarter garbage time. They were so blown out that he's playing against nothing coverage. Easy peasy. I mean, it was false. You know, they played Denver this week. Are they going to score a dozen points? The Cardinals, no.

The Cardinals have given up in successive weeks, 31, 36, 36, and 45 points. They just held the Rams. Is this Lefleur knew what to do? They held the Rams to 16 points. Is this the he had the secrets? McVeigh has got to be melting.

There's this dude on Instagram. If I knew your name. I don't need this. I could be announcing on Amazon. Have you seen the dude on Instagram that do the impression? Yeah. And he's got the point of hair right up in the front. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. Let's focus, positive on the negatives. Positive on the negatives. Yeah, it's hilarious. It's rough. The Rams are sitting in last place behind the Arizona Cardinals in the division. They're behind.
