Transcript

00:03 - All right, speaking of hands,
00:04 let's go to a receiver here, Devontae Adams.
00:06 Six and a half receptions.
00:08 Here's the conversation.
00:09 I mean, he had one last time out amidst seven targets,
00:12 but a struggling quarterback.
00:13 Seven in the game before that.
00:16 What's going on here against the Giants
00:18 who have actually been pretty good in their last five
00:20 under 200 net passing yards,
00:23 over under for Adams, six and a half receptions, George.
00:29 This one's tough.
00:30 Generally, squeaky wheel gets the grease, right?
00:33 We've seen that all year long, right, Matt?
00:35 All year long, a wide receiver who mouths off,
00:37 all of a sudden, the next week, he's getting the football.
00:39 Like AJ Brown, they haven't stopped feeding him, right?
00:41 Since he had his little explosion on the sideline.
00:44 Yeah, CD Lamb wasn't happy, a couple of scores,
00:46 and Dallas realized, oh yeah,
00:47 we should throw the football to him.
00:49 I think they're going to try
00:51 and throw the ball to Devontae Adams, right?
00:53 They're gonna try and throw the ball to him.
00:54 I think there's no doubt in my mind
00:56 they're gonna try and throw the ball to him.
00:58 Problem is, is it gonna be receptive to it?
01:00 Thibodeau's coming after Aiden O'Connell today, right?
01:03 He's gonna go put a little pressure there.
01:05 I think the attempts will be there.
01:08 Six and a half seems like a lot
01:09 for a rookie quarterback here.
01:12 I think it is the right move, by the way,
01:13 for the Raiders to go to him.
01:14 Garoppolo, in my mind, looks like that quarterback
01:17 doesn't want to be hit anymore.
01:18 He doesn't want to be hit.
01:19 And whether it's the injury,
01:20 he's trying to protect himself, whatever,
01:22 doesn't want to be hit.
01:23 Throwing up his back foot a lot.
01:24 So I'm gonna lean the under here,
01:27 but the attempts will be there.
01:28 If O'Connell is better than I think he can be,
01:30 he'll get this.
01:31 So once again, I wouldn't bet this either way.
01:33 But if he asks me which way I lean,
01:35 I'm gonna go under.
01:36 I think he's either gonna get it by the hook
01:38 or not get it by the hook.
