00:00As we try and see if there's some guys that we want to get in on and potentially maybe
00:07we need to stay away from, I'll start with a pair of rookie quarterbacks who had very
00:11interesting opening weeks to their NFL careers with Bo Nix and Jaden Daniels and to some
00:17degree, Jaden Daniels gave you what you expected, a whole lot of rushing and two rushing scores.
00:24That's where he made his name, I think more than anything at the college level, his athletic
00:29ability, I know both of you very, very excited about that.
00:32Bo Nix, on the other hand, as somebody who bet into some of his season long numbers,
00:36the attempts couldn't be any better.
00:39Everything else was a disaster.
00:40I mean, Corlin Sutton had 12 targets and it was less than 40 yards, I still can't believe
00:44the way that box score reads.
00:47Buy or sell, when we look at Nix, Jaden Daniels, if you had to pick, Donnie, what would you
00:52say?
00:53If we're looking at just today, I don't know how anybody's buying Bo Nix against the Pittsburgh
00:56Steelers defense.
00:57I mean, that's just a recipe for disaster because you know what's going to happen with
00:59Mike Tomlin.
01:00He's going to roll in there with Justin Fields and say, we'll use that same exact game plan
01:04we had last week against Atlanta.
01:05We'll put pressure on that pocket, we'll collapse it, we'll make a young rookie quarterback
01:09make a mistake.
01:10That was Kirk Cousins who did it too last week.
01:11Now they got a rookie.
01:12Jaden Daniels going up against the Giants defense, so I tell you, a couple defensive
01:16linemen outside of that, absolutely nothing.
01:19You like the fact that Jaden Daniels went on the road last week and said, okay, maybe
01:22I got to throw it a little bit more, Terry McLaurin, let's bring it back in.
01:25But this is a game where he's going in and saying, you know what, I think with a better
01:27football team right off the bat and I'm at home, I got my one start under my belt, I
01:31should be able to make plays.
01:33One guy in Jaden Daniels will make plays.
01:35Bo Nix today, he might be making plays to the other team today, Joe.
01:39Yeah, absolutely.
01:40And to Donnie's point in regards to why I like Jaden Daniels in this matchup over Bo
01:45Nix, third down conversions.
01:48They held Kirk Cousins two of nine on third downs last week in Atlanta.
01:51You look at the conversion rate for Denver on the road last week, it was less than 30%.
01:57You're not going to be able to win against Pittsburgh going up against that and converting
02:01less than 30% of your third down type of situation.
02:04So Jaden Daniels to me, I know he did it on the ground in regards to the second half and
02:09he scored a couple of touchdowns.
02:10I think he does it through the air because you look at the success that Sam Darnold had
02:15with Justin Jefferson and those wide receivers.
02:17I think McLaurin has a big day today.
02:19He's plus 210, 230 in that area to score a touchdown.
02:23And Jaden Daniels numbers like 195 and a half, 197 in that area.
02:27I altered him up today to 225 plus.
02:30I actually think he breaks out at home with Kingsbury a better play caller than what he
02:35has right now in regards to Denver.
