00:03 - To another wide receiver that we kind of disagreed on
00:06 in the last segment, which is Curtis Samuel.
00:08 Now you had some time to talk about it,
00:09 but for those people who might've missed that segment,
00:11 let's get a little bit more of a deep dive here.
00:13 I recognize that there's upside with Curtis Samuel,
00:15 but I also recognize the downside.
00:17 Talk to the people again about why the upside
00:20 of Curtis Samuel is more in play this particular week.
00:23 - It's the same scenario that we talked about
00:26 when he faced the Cowboys.
00:28 Really, really good outside corners.
00:30 Xavian Howard, Jalen Ramsey have been amazing
00:33 since Ramsey came back.
00:35 Their slot corner is not good, Joey.
00:38 If you look at what he's given up over the season,
00:40 84% catch rate, 129 pass rating.
00:43 Samuel's gonna run 73% of his routes in the slot,
00:47 as well as Miami has given up slot production
00:49 to slot row receivers the entire season.
00:52 Seventh most receiving touchdowns to slot guys,
00:55 12th highest pass rating and coverage.
00:57 And we know, Joey, that the commanders
01:01 are gonna throw the ball.
01:03 Sam Howell has had at least 40 passing attempts,
01:05 what, last seven games at least?
01:08 So they're gonna throw it.
01:10 They can't run it.
01:12 And okay, where's all this volume going to?
01:17 Right in the lap of Curtis Samuel, baby.
01:19 It's gonna be wonderful.
