The Los Angeles Chargers couldn't do shit against the Arizona Cardinals. We, well, we didn't lose it all. We could have done better. We could have done worse. I actually thought cash games. I don't know how many times this year, cash games are going to be legitimately interesting. There were a bunch of different decisions to make at basically, like I thought there were, what, probably like five playable running backs, maybe six. I thought there were three playable quarterbacks. One of them suffered maybe a season ending injury on the very first possession. There were like a couple different deep like high-price
defenses that was the Nate thing. And when, when we turn the cards over and we show you guys what happened to Nate for, for once, I actually think Nate, the chat's going to be with you. I, I think they're going to feel for you because I, I got to say Nate, you played good and you ran bad. I'll hand it to you for the first time ever. You played good and you ran bad. Yeah, it was, it was a frustrating outcome. I don't want to spoil it, but yeah, it was frustrating. So I guess let's just go ahead and start by talking about the quarterback position. I think there were basically three playable quarterbacks. I think there was Justin Herbert. I think there was Jared Goff and I think there was Kyler Murray. Kyler obviously in the lineup combinations when you needed the salary. I think Herbert was like, I would say he was the want play and he was the one that was in blended optimal. So if you blended run the Sims, ETR, Cardi and Saber, you would have gotten Herbert where I landed ultimately was with Jared Goff because I was like, if I'm playing
Gibbs and I'm playing St. Brown, don't, don't I just want Goff and the projections, I mean, the projections are razor, razor close. Like, run the Sims says Kyler for 19. We were actually more bearish on Goff at 16.3 and then Herbert for 19.7. So that was mostly a correlated play to me, Nathaniel, how were you thinking about the quarterback position? I mean, I definitely looked at Goff and Herbert but I thought that Murray at his price with his running upside. I don't know, I thought Murray was the play here. I just from a price standpoint, I think I get it from a Goff standpoint but Goff has to have such insane efficiency to get there. And in this spot, he projected to but it's like if Gibbs gets two rushing TDs, you're dead. I was going to say what you what you literally need is you need one of God Gibbs's touchdowns to come via reception or you get what you got today, which is the Lions offense is pretty good. They got up, I mean, that they had to have had like 450 yards
overall on offense. Actually, Goff didn't even threaten the bonus. So maybe, maybe not. I mean, he got, frankly, Goff lineup's got very lucky to get overtime like actually insanely lucky to get overtime because the Saints look like one of the worst teams in the NFL. I mean, frankly, Sammy, I wanted to play Herbert. Herbert was my want play, my lineup ran out of salary. I would have preferred to a play Herbert. Now, after watching the Los Angeles Chargers play their trade on the football field, I think I'm cured of wanting to play Chargers for the rest of the year. I actually think I'm good. I think maybe I'll play Lad every once in a while, but I think mostly I'm good on the Chargers. Well, first off, Lad died. Secondly, he did die. Yes, that's true. Yeah, I mean, buddy, the Chargers earn a gregious mess. It's like, oh, we got Mike Daniel. Like, everything's going to be different. It's going to be good. They are ass. They're hot ass. And the fact that we played O'Marion Hampton who at the beginning of the game, I was just like, dude, dude, he scored that touchdown. I was like, dude, he's getting 35. Yeah. Yeah, dude, he's so much
be so big and just like runs full. So he looks like Derek Henry out there and you're just like, holy shit. Like, I'm going to smash. But um, 10 point home favorites, they lost by more than a touchdown. Yeah. And we were talking about this before we start up here. It's not like something bad happen. There was a fumble that went the wrong way or pick, dude, they just got their asses. Whoop, they're lily asses kicked up and down the field. And uh, yeah, we're we're stupid for putting any American dollars like on their victory today. This is tough scene. It's the driver. So it's very tough scene. So run. I will say this. No, hold on, hold on. I never considered Kyler Murray. Never. I did. I did. No, I didn't. And you know, it seems like you can't really know what was going to happen because it's super revisionist, right? Because you just got hurt right away. But Kyler, I know he projects well. I know he's got rushing upside. Like we know this about Kyler Murray. But like, dude, he might just be too small and little to be able to hack it. And once
I'm over, I'm over, I'm over ruling. And one key to see, it's Justin Jefferson. There's so many reasons why he was going to get up. He was going to put points up here. I get it, dude. I get it. But like at the end of the day, you know, this is cash games. We're going for four. And Kyler Murray has like a pretty bad floor. And you know, it's one of those things where Kyler Murray, you know, he's like five foot 10. He got drafted number one overall because he's like this god tier athlete. But what happens to these guys who aren't really like that good at football and processing and this and that. But they're just super athletic. What happens when they're 28 years old or 29 or whatever he is and start mounting injuries and they lose that half step that makes them so different? I think that things. And Kyler Murray hasn't been very big. I'm going to hard disagree with this take. It's not just because I played Kyler that I disagree with this, but I just think at $5,500 on draft kings.com quarterback for a guy who's going to have rushing work like you don't need
much passing efficiency. So you he doesn't need to be a good quarterback. He doesn't need to be a real NFL quarterback for you to get points on draft kings. And the way the rest of the lineup construction went. Yeah. Go down to him. Teller. I'll play anybody at 55. I'll play Drew. We should have played Tyler. We should have played Drew. I will play Drew lock at 5500 next week. And it will be the right lineup construction on draft kings for floor at a quarterback. I'm not I'm not trying to evaluate their talent or their ability. I don't want Kyler Murray as my franchise quarterback. But on draft kings like this is how you play. And I'm I think Kyler was a play at 55. Yeah. I'm I I ultimately didn't play Kyler because I just felt that with Gibbs and St. Brown in the lineup. Like once I decided I was doing the St. Brown lineup and not doing the three running back lineup, which was viable by the way. If you did the two punt wide receiver three expensive running back lineup, I don't think you played bad at all. I think that was a totally reasonable decision to play a B-john or Derek Henry or Jonathan Taylor or whoever over.
Over St. Brown. I think I think that's and frankly, we haven't even got to let's get real. We know we'll get to the real issue. We will get to the real issue in all of our lines. But at running back Gibbs was a lock. Then I think you had to choose one of B-john H&N Jonathan Taylor, Amari and Hampton, Ash and Gentie. Those were the playable running backs to me. It sounds like I didn't check, but I believe the ETR train included. I think Levitan did Jonathan Taylor. I have no issue with it. Ultimately, I did Jameer Gibbs with Amari and Hampton. Then I did the double. I did the double tight end lineup. But I mean, Sammy, we were talking up and down about swapping. I mean, if we would have just cleaned Swap, Hampton, and Gentie, we would have been home free. I feel really fucking stupid because Gentie, I bet his overs. I bet him. I bet his receiving overs. I bet his touchdowns. I was like, this is the Gentie spot. This is like the only game the
Raiders are going to be favorite in all year. I took Raiders. We took Raiders three times in the $100 survivor on Splash. I was all in and I said, you know what? Can't do Gentie, who I know is better than Amari and Hampton. I don't even think Amari and Hampton is good. I called, I called Eston Gentie the running back of our generation on a show on Friday. And then you know what I did in cash games. I said, no, no, I got to play Amari and Hampton. The 10 point home favorite is going to play. Hampton first off is like, whatever. He's fine. But fucking Gentie in this spot. Gentie as a $6600 player. This is like getting Vijon Robinson, but for $1,000 less. No, never get a place again. It's so bad. It's so bad. I played bad. I played bad. You did. I mean, buddy, I played Gentie in all my tournament lineups. It was just like so obvious. Like, dude, Gentie is so obvious. Of course. Of course. And like in cash, it's like, no, no, oh, oh, Mary and Hampton. Mary and Hampton. Freeman committee of these bungling idiot coaches. Like, Jesus Christ is so bad, bro. So bad.
Yeah. And, you know, Nate, I got it. I got to give you your flowers. I really, I really do. You win, you win the three man by, uh, what, one point to one point, one eight points. But you played, you played Vijon Robinson. And I was just a straight, a straight all timeer from Davis this morning. If you didn't see what I tweeted, this is what Davis, uh, tweeted, uh, is sent in our group chat. Nate was like, Hey, I'm going Vijon and the Raiders over Hampton and the Steelers. And Davis says, and I quote, Vijon is so fucking bad. LOL. Come on, Nate. It was more, first off, I would say, I would say anyone the Nate was going to play as bad in the morning. Like, it doesn't matter where I was coming from was I was just like, dude, I have to jam the Steelers defense is where I was coming out. So it's just like, I thought, I played the Steelers defense. Steelers and jets. I played in 100% of my lineups. I thought
the Steelers are the, the Falcons are never winning this game. They're not going to be able to move the ball. I mean, it's so funny because Drake one and literally had like four points and Kyle Pitt said zero because they all went to Vijon because Vijon had eight receptions for 90 yards. This is what this is what Nate says to Davis in reply. Davis says, Vijon is so fucking bad. Come on, Nate. And Nate says, yeah, getting eight Vijon dump offs from Cooper Rush, really going to be bad. Like literally says eight. Like Nate just win mill dunking on Davis week one of the 2026 NFL season. The people love to see it. I just don't understand. I mean, literally, Vijon literally was like second highest in the league and expected production last year. And he was more efficient than the workload that he got. And week one, we're expecting him to get more. He's getting all of the workload in this backfield. And that is like not only one, 21 rushes and 10 targets. It's not even a question. And you're like, I'm going to fade that so I can play Omari and hand it. It wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't. I don't even know if he's
going to get any passing work. It might be all keeping Mitchell out there. We have no idea what Hampton's workload is going to look like. And it's not even like you're getting a big discount. You're saving like a thousand dollars to go to Hampton. And it's the court. Like the Vijon thing was so obvious. And for you to fade him simply because of Cooper Rush, he hasn't had a quarterback ever. I don't care if it's Cooper Rush. It's Vijon, freaking Robinson. I like Chandler and expected production. You're definitely in line up decisions about a defense. No, no, I work. I'm a little Davis because we build a new lineup around a defense.

betback bonus bet on anything anytime anywhere. You're welcome. I just I guess where I was is I thought there was there were two defenses. I think that we're so obvious who we're going to get like a minimum of 10, which were the Jags and the Steelers. So I really like a lot of the time is when you're playing salary kept the FS on draft Kings and cash games. So by the time we get to week five and week six, the salary is going to be so tight that we are going to be like dude, we're taking the Panthers defense and we're hoping we're getting four, you know, but this was not that style of slate just the way the options came out. And so I didn't think ending up with a defense that got five points was not going to be viable, which it wasn't by the way today. If you did end up with a defense that got like six points, you were fucked. You were not you were not winning. You you would have got a lot of points. I don't know. They didn't they didn't score touch down though. I don't think dude didn't know that in. But Dishon Watson is egregious dude. He the like there's
no way he starts for more than like one or two weeks. So I think moving forward, we really need to take advantage of this like whoever Dishon Watson is playing, we have to play them. Doesn't matter the price. Yeah. I don't know what Cleveland's doing. Why they started in this year. I mean, I we can't be confident. They're not going to play him for for the rest of the season. I don't know what they're doing. Yeah. But I just yeah, I can't believe that you jammed in a defense over B. John and took a running back who I even said don't do Hampton do H.A.n. or J.T. and instead, you're like, no, I'll take the guy with the shakiest workload like I playing. Best playing. His brain. Best ball is in your brain. No, I had J.T. ranked over Hampton in Bestball. There's no excuse. There's no excuse. It's it's it's here's here's why I didn't do it. Here's why I didn't do it and it'll lead into receiver because it was just so obvious in retrospect. But we already have mayor who is the the free piece that if you didn't play him in cash,
you're bad. This is what it was was that we had two raiders. And then and then we played trade Tucker and I was like, you know, I don't really think that I want to start off my my season leaders with three raiders. That's a Nate move. That the three raiders is the Nate move. Fucking Jacoby Myers. Ashton Gentee. Brock Fowers. That's the Nate move. And he would have won. And he would want but it came down to but but here's the thing. It was really easy not to play trade Tucker because you could have just played Vale in the dome in a massive barn burner shootout. And instead were like, actually, let's play trade Tucker in a raiders versus dolphins game. Great fucking idea. Like this is the one even O'Marion Hampton. I thought was was bad in retrospect doing it over Gentee but but trade Tucker. Trade Tucker. Yeah, trade Tucker's just never like we all played him. But trade Tucker's just never like a you got to play him guy. He just never. He had one
week one week last season. He had that massive like three times. He's still having this he can play ball. He can't play ball. I mean, fuck why did we play him? Like that was. It's also it's also one of those things where if you have the position we have that the raider. Well, the position that I had, which is the raiders are going to win this game. It makes even less sense to play trade Tucker who like needs like opportunities like he needs a couple deep shots to get there. Like like well, I mean, maybe he converts his one deep shot, which I don't even believe he got in this game. But you'd like to have like 40 Kurt Cousins dropbacks. And we were not ever getting that in this game. It probably even if they're losing this game, we don't get 40 Kurt Cousins dropbacks because it probably means HN and Malik Willis are just like running nuclear. Like they're just like gaining. There's averaging like six and a half yards per carry or whatever. So the team that Nate played was Kyler Murray, Jameer Gibbs, B. John Robinson, trade Tucker, J. Marcelle, I'm on Ross St. Brown, J. W. Johnson, Michael Mayer and the raiders.
R3B3 was Gough Hampton and the Steelers over Kyler Murray, Devon HN and the raiders. Which is I mean, I think good. I think so the other thing that people did and I'm pulling up the massive 25 or this is the giant train. There was a big train that was HN and Jaguar's D over B. John and Raiders D. And there was also I can't find it but somewhere in here, I believe is was it this team? This looks like a huge train but I didn't consider any of these players. There was a there's the Levitan train is in here somewhere. Maybe this is it. Was it Valle? Because that was so it was it was basically it was using Valle instead of Tucker and then going from Hampton slash B. John to Jonathan Taylor and then I think that lineup also played the Steelers defensive, the Raiders defense. So it was I believe maybe it was Kyler maybe it was Gough I don't remember
and then it was Gibbs, Jonathan Taylor, Valle, St. Brown, Tucker, J. W. Johnson, Mayor Raiders. The biggest the biggest double the biggest double up train was I haven't here pulled up it's Gough. Yeah it's Gough, John, I'm on Ra but it's Gibbs and HN chase Mayor, John and yeah Valle over Trey Tucker. So and then they played Jaguar's D. So I do feel bad about Trey Tucker. I mean we should have looked at Valle over Trey Tucker for sure. Especially because for sure should have looked at Valle over Trey Tucker. Just the game environment of the Detroit game versus Vegas. Yeah. Yeah if you're going to take a secondary option I mean you know I think either projections like like Tucker are fine but also at least me I have this idea of like oh
Trey Tucker's like they're only pass catcher and he's not you know like he's just a guy. Jack Batch. So I even this was I wish I knew who tweeted this but someone tweeted like well Batch was a tight end in college who converted White receiver. He's just going to slot into Bower's position which is exactly what happened by the way. That was literally about it was just one for one best just played Bower's position. Mayor played his position. He just had slightly better targets for outrun which he always does when Bower's is not on the field right but I mean Mayor was in the massive $25 double up. Where is it here? Mayor was on 78% Valle was on 34% the biggest issue with with our lineup stuff overall was that Jamar Chase scored 3.2 points two perceptions for 12 yards I mean obviously anything from Jamar Chase and when I I um because I was having actually who's like like 60% owned. He was but I was I was actually looking at ownership percentages of
stuff today because I was sweating our swap so much and something you realize is that early in the season before it's only true in cell versions remaining playing these contests you do have people who are just straight out playing bad like they do like their Jamar Chase lineup is included in that 68.6% but they are like not even close like they're like their lineup is so far away from anything you could imagine that you're not even competing against them and then you add that up so obviously Jamar Chase gets and frankly given how bad our lineup was I mean I scraped back $639 out of like $880 dollars entered or whatever so it could have been could have been a lot worse I mean it could have been it could have been a lot worse and frankly I would assume the only reason my lineup was able to scrape anything back was because Kyler was so on Kyler got hurt yeah yeah yeah yeah so yeah like didn't do great in the in the double of us but like the heads of heads yeah people were playing bad in those and yeah yeah yeah yeah um but yeah I mean I think I think Nate Nate played good
ran bad with Kyler Murray there's anything really to learn I mean I probably just will play the true generational talent as a three-point home favorite instead of fucking dicking around with the marine hamptons bullshit that's just like sometimes when you lose you're like hey man this was not avoidable and I just like it is what it is and sometimes you just lose but when it's a situation like this where I had a lot of opportunities to just play genty I probably should have just approached to just play genty I mean you should be gig at tilting because you played good yeah I am I am I like legitimately I was I mean obviously the chase thing is what it is but yeah overall I felt like when I when I saw everything flop and I was like wait no one played B-John everyone went some of these other running backs instead I'll take the second highest expected production for a thousand dollars off yeah yeah I think I think I think just revisiting this I think
the biggest thing is oh myring hampton doesn't have the receiving chops that a lot of these other he did he did last year he he like legitimately did last year but to Nate's point like we didn't know was it gonna be Keaton was it gonna be Videll was it gonna be fucking Alec Engolt was it gonna be like are they gonna just play 12 personnel and not which is I mean we'll look at the truck look at the Trim maybe and see what what actually happened but yeah it's just a very annoying yeah yeah genty just like genty just fuck dude he's so good yeah um okay get to some tournament stuff now so this team I played in the double spy so this was 20k to first uh 555 entrance $200 to enter I played a 5% on Caleb Williams who churned out 37 points I did play marian hampton at 26% early contender for worse play of the year uh jimmy or gibbs just and jeffersent at 14% early contender
for you guys are so fucking stupid I can't believe you guys don't play Justin Jefferson you're all really dumb Garrett Wilson who I did not think was gonna get close to 17% I was floored by that I thought that was why I thought he would be 5% yeah nobody wants Garrett Wilson nobody wants jets like that's that's crazy I can't believe you 17% um I did burden I did who's 13% uh which I thought was I thought in smaller field he would be a little bit higher than that I don't I don't think that is that bad at all Michael mayor and marshal Lloyd with the jet defense and I thought I thought Lloyd if 5% I was like if you would have told me Lloyd was single digits in all these contests I probably would have played him more than I did I did not play a ton of marshal Lloyd now uh turns out the groomed backers stink their offensive line is terrible and they he just like never got an attempt to run downhill at and Marshal Lloyd is like not the guy like he's part of
part of the backfield I mean he let it right but like he didn't start the game you didn't get a target you know it's just like I he I don't I don't believe I don't believe he did get target he used 4800 and it kept me from playing chalk vele chalk tray Tucker Chuck Johan Johnson like all those guys giga and and Lloyd's projection was very similar to those dudes I mean marshal Lloyd for 11.6 Johan Johnson for 10.8 uh vele for 8.4 Tucker for well 12.3 but I think I think given the um oh he did he did get a target in the end zone good for him I mean frankly like I I think that's it that's actually a play I would make again I actually don't I actually don't really feel that bad about that one about at playing him at 5% Caleb fucking
smashed dude he had an insane game the bears put up 59 points and Colson Loveland had two targets in zero receptions like yeah the best ball bro the seasonal bro dude people are tilting about this yeah they uh they need to take a deep breath but yes Nathaniel you're a mute brother oh sorry I had to upload showdown uh Loveland was out there for like every route I mean I mean Loveland was Loveland I'm in Terrence Ferguson or sitting in the sauna together like bro we just ran bad you know yeah this this was like uh this was like a I think like a 82% simri or whatever in a 500 person field in uh on on run the sims like I I really like I just particular I mean I didn't I did not think Garrett Wilson be 17% and I obviously really rather wish that this was genty but I mean Justin Jepperson at 14 15% dude like I I would play
I would play this lineup again I really I really would yeah with it with the tight ends and there instead of Lloyd I'm just saying no I'm just saying like if we ran this late again I I would probably run this lineup back without with literally anyone other than Hampton I put fucking put Aaron Jones in there dude I don't care I'm I'm done I'm out on the chargers bro I'm out any remaining stock I have on um dump it yeah I'll sell it I'll sell it for yeah it's how to attach it to see bills and stuff I'm I'm sorry dude I'm not I'm not giving 31 points eight receptions 92 yards two touchdowns and a two point conversion for Justin Jepperson sucked out I'm sorry yeah he got the trash touchdown but it was awesome like full extension horizontal to the ground hits the pylon after a toe tap touchdown after a two point conversion didn't suck out he just he just needed he he sucked out in the sense that Kyler Murray got hurt he's he's the he's the
he doesn't have this team with Kyler Murray I mean he's the he's the best or the second best wide receiver in the NFL and because people are just so angry about him not being good for fantasy last year I I just knew he would be I I had a strong feeling he would be very under owned in this late and guess what that will that this will never happen again he will he will now be as owned as St. Brown and Chase every week basically I think I would imagine yeah yeah I don't know I mean it depends on the quarterback situation it depends on the quarterback and the game total and everything but yes like I I think it will be very rare for us to load up a slate uh Jamar Chase Jamar Chase 27% St. Brown 20% Justin Jepperson 8% I don't I don't I don't think so I maybe maybe you know I I don't know um yeah there were there were six rushing touchdowns in that game though Monungay had the bonus and two touchdowns swift had the bonus and three touchdowns and Caleb ran
for two touchdowns so so or did Monungay and Lee score one? Monungay had one 10 for a hundred one one a very a very aesthetically pleasing box score line um okay so let's uh do do do do do do do do do do do you need to get me a line up to run through the uh the stem and then tell me the the field size I have Sammy go first I'll do next okay I actually hear Sammy texted to me so I'll pull uh I'll pull this is my power sweep team I actually I'm on I'm traveling right now I'm going to buddy so what what size what style field size is that like 1500. I don't know. Let's go 1500. Sure. I think it's like 3000. Okay. We'll do 3000 and we'll do top heavy and that is 150. Can you play, uh, well, you were you were smart on this one, brother. You played, uh, you played, you played, well, you played Gen T. I played Gen T in all my tournament linus. That's why I'm fucking mad at myself, man. It's just like I knew it. Dude,
I knew Gideas of us. Like I knew he's great. Like of course. Now, so you did you did the, uh, the Joe Barrow double, which, um, I mean, has got to be over lifetime on both T and Chase getting there. It was like literally, it's, it's, it's like, it's happened for people. Just, just not mean, right? narrate this lineup for me, please. Uh, I mean, what is what is the lineup here? Like it is Joe Barrow, action Gen T breeze Hall. Okay. Jamar chase T Higgins, Imeca Igg Buka as the bring back Samuel Laporta, Michael Mayer in the New York Jets defense. Yeah. So, you know, obviously it's a, it's a double, uh, with Barrow and Chase. And then I thought I'd Buka would be super under owned. He came in at a little under six percent. And, you know, people are off of him because the injury and the off season, this and that, but I thought he was a great bring back at like that ownership. So obviously going all in on this game,
uh, that didn't work out, but I had a Gen T in this lineup because Gen T's just, uh, the fucking beast. And then I had breeze hall as my other running back. And I just thought breeze, you know, like he's that guy that, you know, people don't want jets. People forget. Yeah, people forget. Dude breeze has all the juice. And he works in the passing game. And it was just one of those like he, he did really well. I don't think he got the bonus. So he was like a little short there. And then, uh, I played Mayer, but it was a double tight end. So I played Mayer, but then I also played Laporta. And I thought in this lineup that didn't have anything from that Saints and Lions game, that Laporta was really good leverage off people really smashing in like I'm on raw and, uh, Jameer gives. And then I played the jets. Tennessee is ass. Cam board is ass. And I just thought, you know, the little, the little pairing with breeze hall. Um, I thought was good. The, uh, the Sims, they don't like it pre-lock, uh,
through the solver anyway. This one had a pretty good, it like a 50% ROI. So it was like, we're seeing something obviously quite a bit different here through, through this Sim. I would assume our projections were just a lot lower on Laporta. I would, or, because I know, talking to, or, or reading like Jack Miller and Mark Danks tweets that they just have a pretty high base projection on Sam Laporta. Um, and I wonder, I wonder if maybe we were a little lower on burrow or maybe something was different with the, the p-ones, maybe our p-ones were higher on T, uh, that, that could certainly, that could certainly be it. I mean, Iqbuka also was not showing up as a, as a huge, looking, looking at this, I think the issue is actually breeze losing points to the field because so many people were playing running backs projected four or five points better, you know, you're, you're, I mean, obviously we saw this worked out, but even Hampton projected well. Yeah. And, and, and I think, uh, our stuff was also actually a
little bit, a little bit lower on mayor, Nate. What do you have on, uh, on this lineup? You're on mute. You're on mute. Rose, me, Nate. Come on. Come on. Let's have it. Actually, I don't hate this lineup. I mean, I think what I liked about the lineup is that you took like a common construction with two tight end and you tried to get different with like LaPorta and Burrow. I don't think most people who went with LaPorta didn't go with golf. And so I think you probably are more unique there than, than I would think, but, um, like even though they're chalkier players overall, but yeah, I don't, I don't mind it. Should just done the burrow to Gaseki and, you know, I mean, burrow, obviously the passing game for the bangles didn't come through today, you know, burrow through for one touchdown. Jamar chase had four targets on 35 attempts. I mean, I don't know what they were doing schematically, but he was like not getting open. At least one of those was just like a screen, but they were like, get the ball in his guy's hands. Like he was getting
swallowed up. So in a game with like pretty good amount of scoring and back and forth. Yeah, don't, don't love to see that from Jamar chase. Probably like a one week flip, but yeah, he did just, hey boys, that was so it was insanely tilting, dude. I like actually couldn't believe it. And it was just every drive, every drive, I was just like, this is going to be it. This is going to be it. This is going to be it. It was not it. No, it, uh, it, it most certainly, it most certainly was, uh, was not it. Um, and, frankly, in, in no way, shape or form was, uh, was, was that it at all? Um, I mean, any, any other interesting notes to, uh, to add on your, on your lineup, Sammy? Yeah, pull up my, I had a burrow lineup in a, in a single entry that might be similar. I'll be interested to see how it stems differently. Uh, yes. Okay. Tell me, give me your, give me the line up. Burrow, burrow gives, beijon, trade Tucker, Jamar chase, T Higgins, and then
Mark Andrews, Meyer Jets, D Mark Andrews. I think the only Andrews lineup I played was with, uh, was with Lamar. Uh, it was a similar thing. I like to, yeah, it was a similar thing. I liked about Sammy's lineup, but like, we're the other receivers. Uh, Trey and T. I bet, uh, I bet, I bet our projection of Mark Andrews was like, nothing. Six points. I'm gonna, I'm gonna get what, uh, what, what, what, what field? 2000. It was the big spy, the 200 K spy. So what was Andrews? Sorry, what was Andrews salary? Is it like high threes? Yeah, three point nine. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I mean, conceptually, I actually like this lineup less than Sammy's just because
Tucker mayor shock with chase shock. So your, your differential pieces here are, I mean, I don't, I don't think, I don't think this lineup is bad. This is, I mean, it's kind of losing that own, right? Yeah, I guess I, I was thinking he was like 20, but maybe he wasn't. So that's, that's what Nate doing. He's essentially like, you know, doing what we're talking about, taking a chalk build and then pivoting, you know, to Mark Andrews, who's not going to be owned at all. Uh, there's a reason why, but he's not going to be owned. But then taking B. John, who can like break the slate over other running backs. Um, yeah, if you're doing that and, and the Bengal stack goes off here, you can eat chalk in other spots. Yes. I agree. Um, post lock B. John would send out, um, insanely good. Yeah. This, and that's what I'm trying to do. I mean, I, like, ultimately, you're not trying to get the guy that everybody thinks you're trying to flip over the guys that post lock are going to come in under on it. Yeah. Yeah.
So yeah, I'm interested to see what it, in this pre lock. Yeah. Yeah. So this is all, this is all with the peons and everything from, from pre-lock. These are not actual. So, so yeah, I bet when it flipped over post lock, both Gibbs and B. John and Chase would send out better because those guys came in less than I put it. What did, what did you have Gibbs projected for in that? Not not whatever he was. Yeah. 40, 43%. And then what was chase projected at? Uh, 31.8%. And then what was tray 15% when she would, he ended up being close to two fucking high, man. Yeah, two fucking high. Jesus Christ. Yeah. Overall, did you have any good sweats today? I had one that was like, it was a Bryce Young, um, or I had two. I had one that was a Bryce Young double with cocker and, um, uh, Mick Millen and cocker, docker. Yeah. Okay. And then
I had another good one with Trevor Lawrence, but it kind of fizzled out with, uh, I think I had too much charger exposure in that one. Yeah. And the fucking chargers, dude, I can't believe that shit. I really do. The chargers are so tilting. Like the Mike picked in. I don't know why I fell for it again.

I think I'm like, my Daniel and his Capri's and his sandals. It's going to be like the,
you know, 2022 dolphins all over again or whatever fucking year. I mean, Jesus Christ. Honestly, you know what? Mark. I can't, you know what? I can't believe it. You know what? I actually should change my mind. I can't believe it. Justin Herbert is straight up, bro. We talk about Justin Herbert like he's a fucking baby. He's 30, dude. He's never want to play off game. He's not 30, is he? Is he just? No, he's got to be 26. Just an Herbert age. 28 years old. Never want to play off game. 28th basically 30. 28 might as well be 30. 28 might as well be 30s now, but when you're in your 20s, you're like, dude, that's, that's not even close. Dude, I just realized today, I'm like, I think I'm like the age now that I, that Sammy was when we met in and he was old when we was old. And now that's us. This, so this happens, man, this happens is you like get older when you're, when you're, when you're 20s, you're like, dude, people who are 30 plus or in their 30s are old. And then
you get in your 30s and you're like, and people who are 40 plus, that it's fucking old, then you get in your 40s and you're like, yeah, 50s pretty old, man. This is, this is, I'm in the prime. So yeah, it just keeps going. I'm excited to see what happens in the 50s. Dude, the chargers play the Raiders next week as like Giga favorites again. Oh, let's go, Jensi, we're running it back. Yeah, we're running it back. I'm going right back to the trade Tucker. I can't, I'm not, I'm not going back to trade Tucker. That is not happening for me. I will not be going, I will, I will, I will gladly, I will be gladly going back to, to mayor, though, easily, easily back to, to Michael mayor. So Michael mayor ran 23 routes, which on the Raiders was 27. Yeah. So he ran, he ran the second most routes on the Raiders. I can't believe we took Charlie fucking Kolar over him in that best ball, man.
I actually don't think we actually don't think we did. Oh, really, he was not. I believe, I believe, we got, I believe we got sniped on that. That don't really, that don't really make me feel better about my life, honestly. Like Michael mayor is a dude. I mean, I just, I just, I just sent you the screenshot, didn't I? I don't know. Well, I, not going to our tight end room. No, sadly, our tight end room does, does have Charlie Kolar on it. We know people were, people were asking me like, oh, Terence Ferguson, like, are you panicked? And I'm like, I see, you know, it wasn't great that he didn't earn any routes, but like the whole team was a mess. I, I think T-Fur could like still probably get there, like, particularly for best ball. Kolar, though, that's not happening, bro. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Tyden separated this week other than McBride. I mean, Bowers is hurt. Loveland was a legitimate zero. And Tramick Bryant is the only one who did anything. This makes, this makes, this makes, this makes, this makes, Brian is just the guy.
That's the biggest takeaway of the week. Why didn't I just jam McBride? McBride just does this. Bro, bro, he is the goat. I don't know. I'm like, I'm like, making all these prize picks and underdog tickets. And Tramick Bryant is there 56 and a half yards. And I'm like, nah. And literally a drive and a half in he's got it. And I was just like, what am I thinking? I'm like sweating Chris Bell overs. And I'm just like, why did I not put Tramick Bryant in? Like, at 56 and a half, what am I thinking? What are we thinking? The reports of his demise. I mean, people were like, oh, Colson, leveling over Tramick, Brad. And I kind of thought so too. I know it's just one week over reaction, maybe, but Jesus Christ, that looks bad. Kendrick, Kendrick, born by the way, that's going to be real inconvenient truth for Michael Wilson. If you were, if you were a Michael Wilson, bro, inconvenient truth for Harrison, who's just, he just, he just, he just, he just, he just,
I mean, it's just, it's just about a bus. I mean, the one thing, the one thing, it's unreal. If his dad was like, really loved him, his dad would like, drug him and put him in the dungeon. And then he'd show up to the game in uniform and play for him. And he'd be way better. Yeah. That's a dad move. All right, everyone. Thank you for watching and listening to the Gale Cast. We will be back with all of you guys next week. Maybe we should do like a listener league or something. Well, no, we shouldn't do a listener league because we don't want people to know our lineups because then they won't want to watch the show. It's a number of mine. I completely changed my mind about that. So we'll be back again with you next week, hopefully, featuring no charger talk. Honestly, if there's any charger talk, I hope it is LOL. The charger's just got fucking monged by the Las Vegas Raiders and Michael Mayer. We will, we'll see you then.
