Kyle checks the Derrick Henry Vermont snow oracle
The hosts say snow on the ground in Vermont predicts Derrick Henry's success no matter where he plays. Kyle researches the forecast, is jokingly sent out as boots on the ground, and reports no snow; the desk proposes an automated siren and permanent back-wall display while explicitly calling the correlation both a bit and weirdly true.
The Falcon's toilet curse meets a head-coach throne
A story about Rizzi clogging the private head-coach toilet on his first day prompts the hosts to say every Falcon office clog has produced a bad day. They turn the new bathroom into a throne-christening ceremony and explain that private executive plumbing avoids playing battle poops with the team.
Parlay Partay fits winners for crowns and calls for the wig
The weekly Parlay Partay begins with repeated demands for the wig and a recap of the prior result. Jason is explicitly one of the two hosts fitted for royal crowns, Andy is congratulated during the successful reception recap, and the James Cook failure represents the losing side.
Over the bottom fails to replace throwing underneath
While explaining a Bijan Robinson checkdown, an unlabeled host tries to evolve the language into 'over the bottom.' The others object that it is simply checking down, Kyle quickly reminds them of 'throwing underneath,' and the originator refuses the correction and predicts quarterbacks will throw over the bottom all game.
Episode notes
The opening calls Deucer's Alley a full house and says everybody is there at that moment, specifically locating Papa Josh, the Falcon, and Al Borland behind the hosts. A tight-end recommendation briefly invokes the show's confidence underpants. During the Baltimore-Pittsburgh forecast, the hosts consult their jokingly scientific Derrick Henry model: snow on the ground in Vermont should predict Henry's success no matter where he plays. Kyle researches the forecast, is jokingly sent out as boots on the ground, and reports no snow while the hosts admit the bit is weirdly true and long overdue for a permanent back-wall display. A Saints coaching story then expands Deucer's Alley bathroom canon. The coach clogged his private locker-room toilet on day one; the hosts say every Falcon office clog has produced a bad day, then imagine christening the throne and avoiding team-wide battle poops. Parlay Partay calls for the wig and recalls the prior week's royal crowns: Jason is explicitly one of the crown pair, Andy is congratulated during the winning recap, and James Cook's failed result supplies the losing side. Finally, a host tries to rename a running-back checkdown 'over the bottom.' The others reject it, Kyle promptly supplies the standard phrase 'throwing underneath,' and the originator keeps forcing the new wording anyway.
Inside the episode
67 passagesIt doesn't feel like it. You could start Tayson Hill just because of the position. I don't love this start. Could you sit Tayson Hill too? Yeah, you definitely could start or sit Tayson Hill. You can do that with almost every player. Almost. Not ETN. Oh, because you can't start. Okay. I see what you did. This is totally going to. There's no way this could blow up in my face. Dude, he's going for 20 plus fantasy points. Uh, well. So you don't feel confident then the dart throws on that team. The thing about MVS is he matches up with what Derek Carr has done well this year. And the matchup, the last six weeks, the Brown's 25th against quarterbacks, 30th against wide receivers. So it's not impossible. But remember, it is, it's MVS. Yeah. Yeah, this is a man who failed with Aaron Rogers, Patrick Mahomes, and Josh Allen. Yeah.
So he needed a good quarterback. Jerry Judy's been hiding back behind Cedric Tillman, but actually getting targets as well, hasn't had the performances, hasn't gotten into the end zone since week one. But desperation play maybe Jerry Judy in this match. Yeah, 19 targets in the last two games. You can, you can certainly look his way. All right. It's time to move forward, Jason. Go ahead and reach behind you. We've got the parley part. Give me the wig. We've got the parlay part two. Give me the wig. And last week, Jason and I, well, we got fitted for some royal crowns. I would say we look pretty, pretty good. You do. You do. And last week. I looked like James Cook trying to catch his targets. Last week I was lucky enough to get Aaron Jones over 60 rushing yards despite the injury. Did you count his cart yards? No, they were not factored in. I mean, he put up.
probably 70 plus. He actually, I forgot he came back into the game and actually put up 88. Yeah, we thought for sure that you took the L on that. Yeah. Because he left the game engine. It was like, well, that stinks. And then he's back in and crosses the line. I thought I took an L on Alvin Camaro over four and a half receptions because I was counting them as we went along. And I was like, oh, I guess I thought I needed one more. I didn't. We crushed. Good job, Andy. Good work. And James Cook couldn't get it done.
No. It was not cooking. This week's picks, I'm going to go Calvin Ridley, 50 plus receiving yards. His numbers since DeAndre Hopkins was traded, 143, 73, and 84. Hopefully I'm not ruining this man by actually focusing on him. I've just been letting him perform in the background. That's not even true. You had him as your second half sleeper. You came out in favor for him and he did well. Thank you for reminding me of that. Last week, what I wanted to take was Kareem Hunts receiving over because of the matchup against the Denver Broncos. They are one to target for receiving overs for running backs, but he had only been getting like one target a game, one target, maybe two targets. He had 10 targets last week.
And so I'm going to take Bijan Robinson against Denver Broncos this week over three and a half receptions. He's averaging 4.1 receptions per game. And again, Denver is the way that their defense plays. You can hit them over the top in the checkdown with, I guess, it's not really over the top. It's like over the bottom. You're going to hit them over. No, it's not over the bottom. What are you talking about? When you pass to the running back, you're not going over the top. No, you're checking it down. I was looking for something a little bit new, fresh. You're looking for something different? Why? Everyone knows what... To evolve. But we know what a checkdown is. But we know what a checkdown is. But this is like the defense is coming at you. You got to go over the bottom. You know what I mean? Like a slip screen. Yeah. Because it's like a... I'm going over the bottom here, man. Like a slippery. I'm just going to try on for size. See if it works. It's not working. It's working for me. Well, I got George, I got George Pickens at 60 plus receiving yards.
It's not just me believing in Georgie Porgy this week. Andy's in. It's the start of the week. It's the Baltimore stuff, yada, yada, yada. His actual line is under 60, so I'm taking a few bonus yards here. But we made it into the parlay. Just so that the comments aren't filled with this. Kyle has been quick to remind us that it is called throwing underneath. So over the top, you throw underneath. You're not into that? Yeah, underneath. Check it down. No, I'm throwing over the bottom, though. But you can't throw over the bottom. I think you can, man. I really, I can throw over the bottom. Well, you can, but professional quarterbacks can't. Man, Kirk Cud is going to throw over the bottom all game. I know it. I'm going to start. Every time I see one of those where the pass rush is coming, it's like, oh, over the bottom. You know those moments when you're like, if it hits a guy in the back, that's over the bottom. That's into the bottom. That's too literal. All right.
