00:00Let's talk about some ground games here.
00:05Let's go to Las Vegas and talk about their backfield against the Cleveland defense.
00:09Yeah.
00:10Look, Zamir White has been disappointing.
00:14I'll take the L on this.
00:15He is a guy that I thought was going to get all the carries, be in a good spot here, but
00:20unfortunately it just hasn't been the case.
00:22And if you look so far at the volume too, where are these 20 carries that we were promised?
00:28We haven't gotten there, 13 attempts, nine attempts, 10 attempts.
00:32Right now he is RB 49.
00:36And we're in a situation this week where there's a chance we could see a change of quarterback
00:40where Gardner Minshew maybe gets replaced already by Aiden O'Connell, which is pretty
00:44much the Spider-Man meme of the two Spider-Mans just pointing at each other.
00:47It's the same guy.
00:48I don't know if it's any different.
00:49And now you've taken Devontae Adams out of this offense today because he's out.
00:53So that means a lot of stacked boxes, not a good situation for a breakout from Zamir
00:57White.
00:58All right.
00:59Let's move on and talk quarterback here because a contrarian play to what we were talking
01:04about earlier in the show would be to lean on this quarterback and his team to upset
01:09the Steelers.
01:10Joe?
01:11Look, Richardson has the ability at any moment to wreck a game.
01:14With his legs, with his arm, he is just a freakish talent.
01:19The problem is Pittsburgh's allowed the 13th lowest yards per attempt, the third lowest
01:25CPOE, the fourth lowest success rate and EPA on dropback.
01:30Basically, what that means is the Steelers are crushing quarterback.
01:35And Anthony Richardson is still more of a raw talent than a quarterback that's ready
01:39to execute at a high level.
01:41That's a problem.
01:42Can his athleticism carry him over those obstacles?
01:47Yes.
01:48But the problem is right now, that's not good fantasy practice.
01:52So if you have Gino Smith on the waiver wire, if you have Jared Goff on the waiver wire,
01:57dare I say, if you have Andy Dalton on the waiver wire against the Bengals this week
02:01and that terrible secondary, those all might be better plays than Anthony Richardson.
02:06So until Richardson figures it out, and I think he will, you have to look right now
02:10and say, am I 0-3?
02:12Can I live another week here with Anthony Richardson, maybe figuring it out against
02:16the Steelers?
02:17Probably not.
02:18And TJ Watt has been absolutely tremendous.
02:20So I think what you want to do is hope for the best, bench him until further notice.
02:26And maybe at some point, Richardson can put it all together.
