00:02 Boy, the running back situation is rough around the league.
00:06 Conor's gonna be out, Chan is gonna be out from Miami.
00:09 Denver's going through it right now.
00:12 They can't win a game, but they do have this running back,
00:14 Jaleel McLaughlin, who's looked pretty good.
00:17 I'm honestly surprised he didn't get more work this past week, Vinny.
00:20 He had 68 rushing yards, three receptions, 21 yards, and a touchdown.
00:24 He looks, honestly, Vinny, he looks like Denver's best player on offense.
00:28 And it doesn't even look particularly close, which is shocking considering
00:32 they did not have plans to even play this kid going into the year.
00:34 >> Yeah, Sean Payton likes pet projects, we know that, his type of player.
00:40 And I think there's a little bit of Alvin Kamara in Jaleel McLaughlin.
00:43 So he had him for a long time in New Orleans, of course.
00:47 He likes that versatility, can come out of the backfield, create mismatches, and
00:51 uses speed and quickness.
00:53 And I think you're seeing a lot of that in Jaleel right now.
00:55 And maybe the Javante Williams hip injury was just an excuse to get him more on
00:59 the field here.
01:00 So it seems like a lot of these fast guys are making a name for themselves.
01:05 Devin The Chan, unfortunately, is gonna be on the shelf for a while.
01:08 But you look at Ty J Spears out of Tulane,
01:11 another rookie that you're gonna look at in Tennessee.
01:13 Might be getting a little bit more work behind Derrick Henry,
01:16 someone we can look to.
01:17 And Roshan Johnson, he looked good, overshadowed by Bishan Robinson at Texas.
01:22 Now getting an opportunity potentially, if he can clear concussion protocol,
01:25 he'll be the lead back for the Bears for a while with Khalil Herbert out.
01:29 So sometimes some doors close here in Tennessee, but
01:33 other ones will open with the injuries as well.
