00:03 - The receiving yards number,
00:04 Fornicua entering tonight.
00:06 And Donnie, you see the history he has made,
00:08 the young rookie wideout out of BYU
00:10 in his first two NFL career games.
00:12 10 grabs, 119 yards week number one,
00:16 15 grabs, 147 yards week number two.
00:21 He has now set the all time record
00:23 for the most catches in his first two NFL games.
00:26 Donnie, he is the only rookie wide receiver
00:29 in the history of the NFL in his first two career games
00:33 to have at least 10 grabs and at least 100 yards
00:36 in both of those first two.
00:38 66 and a half is light.
00:40 I still think you're getting a discount
00:42 on the NACUA numbers.
00:44 - Yeah, and also, go back to the beginning of the season,
00:47 I was gonna say before the season even started,
00:49 you had the podcast out there with Kelly Stafford,
00:51 the wife of Matthew Stafford,
00:52 going like, man, he goes in that locker room
00:54 and he just can't connect
00:55 with any one of those young players here.
00:57 Could have fooled me.
00:58 It's the exact opposite.
00:59 He's connected with every young player,
01:01 including Hooker NACUA here.
01:03 66 and a half is a nice number
01:05 'cause if we equate that to the Philadelphia Eagles,
01:07 I think AJ Brown, as we said, was like 67 and a half yards.
01:10 That shows you the respect
01:11 that NACUA is getting right off the gate,
01:13 but also, look, we see more tape here
01:15 and eventually teams are gonna be able to settle in,
01:18 but if we're looking at half the production
01:20 is going to catch this ticket,
01:22 which is amazing from what we've seen
01:23 over the first two weeks here,
01:24 I do think Matthew Stafford and that Sean McVay offense
01:27 is going to be able to move the football.
01:29 The only question I would be is I would like them even more
01:31 if you saw Joe Burrow being active in the pocket
01:34 and being able to deliver,
01:36 'cause that'll send it over to the sideline
01:37 for McVay, they're like, look,
01:38 we can't just slow this game down
01:39 and say Burrow was injured.
01:41 Let's run the football.
01:42 They might have to get after it on offense.
01:43 So a lot of things are up in the air,
01:45 possibly, until we see that first quarter.
