Cleveland Browns vs Steelers Preview
00:00:01
Lord Hinkie
All right, and picking up where we left off, we have the Cleveland Browns going to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. I have in here, ew, nasty, gross, ew, gross.
00:00:13
Lord Hinkie
Obviously, you can hear production is back.
00:00:15
Dakota Zeigler
Hey, what's up, everyone?
00:00:16
Lord Hinkie
We missed you in the last one because I had to do some ew sound effects on my own, and Damien did a transition effect. it was It went really well, as you would expect.
00:00:24
Dakota Zeigler
I have to listen to that back.
00:00:25
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, it's a good one. it it really You can definitely tell it's definitely not Damien's voice doing the phew.
Predicting the Outcome: Browns vs Steelers
00:00:33
Lord Hinkie
But anyways, I think this is going to be a gross defensive battle.
00:00:38
Lord Hinkie
Dylan Gabriel's second start, and he has to go play the Pittsburgh Steelers away. i don't think it's going to go well. I think the Steelers definitely win this game, but i think it's going to be gross and ugly.
00:00:48
Lord Hinkie
For the Cleveland side of things, give me Stutkins. And then if you want to roll the dice on one the tight ends, Sure. I think I'd probably lean in Joku.
00:00:58
Lord Hinkie
But then again, it's it's a 50-50.
00:00:58
Dakota Zeigler
Nah, Fannin.
00:01:01
Lord Hinkie
It's going to be a 50-50 every matchup. Just whatever one you like more or whoever you have on your team. But give me Judkins and then that's it.
Disappointing Player Performances
00:01:08
Lord Hinkie
Zig, any qualms? Are we still playing Judy?
00:01:11
Dakota Zeigler
No.
00:01:12
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, he stings.
00:01:13
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. He had a good beginning matchups the beginning of the year, and I like that. But, i no. They need like a legit wide receiver one there.
00:01:25
Dakota Zeigler
When their number two is Cedric Tillman. like That's just gross. Gross.
00:01:30
Lord Hinkie
And he's been awful this year for the sealer side. Give me a DK Metcalf and I'm just going to call it a day.
00:01:37
Dakota Zeigler
What about Robin Wilson?
00:01:37
Lord Hinkie
i Yeah, who cares? I don't really want to deal with whatever the situation is with this backfield. I haven't heard anything on Jalen Warren, but I heard it's he's probably going to play.
00:01:50
Lord Hinkie
And I don't know if that makes it better or worse. And even then, I don't want the running back going up against Cleveland Browns defense. So.
00:01:58
Dakota Zeigler
If Jalen Warren is your only option and like you have to start him, put in one of those auto sub things of your own sleeper because, i mean, he could be so another surprise inactive.
00:01:58
Lord Hinkie
DK and that's it.
00:02:13
Dakota Zeigler
I mean, it's gross, but I'm saying if you have, if you are starting him for any reason, try to have a backup plan.
00:02:14
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:02:17
Damien
Thank
00:02:20
Dakota Zeigler
I, for some reason, I just, I think this is just going to be another, know,
00:02:21
Lord Hinkie
You got to have backup plan.
00:02:26
Dakota Zeigler
an hour before game day. Hey, we're switching it up. Like that was ridiculous last week with no heads up.
00:02:31
Lord Hinkie
It caught a lot of people, especially because it was the 930 London game.
00:02:32
Dakota Zeigler
I could see it happen again.
00:02:35
Dakota Zeigler
Morning game.
00:02:36
Lord Hinkie
So if you didn't see it right away, you were SOL, my friend.
00:02:44
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:02:44
Lord Hinkie
Damien, anything to throw on the screen besides ill?
00:02:48
Damien
Uh, Stutkins is a guy
00:02:50
Lord Hinkie
Yep.
00:02:50
Damien
That's it.
00:02:53
Dakota Zeigler
Yep.
00:02:54
Lord Hinkie
Love to see it.
00:02:54
Dakota Zeigler
Moving on.
00:02:55
Lord Hinkie
Titans at Raiders.
00:02:57
Dakota Zeigler
oh
00:02:57
Lord Hinkie
Speaking of
Titans vs Raiders Analysis
00:02:58
Lord Hinkie
ill, gross, nasty.
00:02:58
Damien
Ew.
00:03:01
Lord Hinkie
three. It was for that four. It was what it's the same.
00:03:04
Damien
I still can't tell the difference. Is that crazy?
00:03:06
Lord Hinkie
It's the same person.
00:03:07
Damien
He's the same guy.
00:03:07
Lord Hinkie
I actually recorded that sound. the Titans somehow won a game last week because the Cardinals they didn't want to play.
00:03:09
Damien
ha ha ha ha.
00:03:14
Lord Hinkie
Well, they didn't want to win that game at all. So the Raiders, the Titans like had to, I guess, and the Raiders suck. this, this is going to be a game is who can, who can play less worse.
00:03:26
Lord Hinkie
That's going to be who wins this football game. Uh, Calvin Ridley actually showed up and played last week. Looked like a pretty decent football player. Pollard looked okay. He did fumble, but he did have a touchdown. Kind of cancels it out.
00:03:39
Lord Hinkie
And then the Raiders side of things, give me Gentee, and then that's kind of it. I don't want Geno. Brock Bowers, you kind of got the, you know, if he plays, sure. But even if he if he doesn't, ew.
00:03:50
Lord Hinkie
And then one more thing I want to throw in there before I throw it to the boys is that Jake Besch got more involved last week. He actually played lot more slaps. Slaps. Play more snaps.
00:04:00
Dakota Zeigler
Say his name again.
00:04:00
Lord Hinkie
Got more targets. Jack Besh. Isn't it Besh?
00:04:05
Dakota Zeigler
I could have swore you said Jake in the first time. Jake Besch.
00:04:07
Lord Hinkie
Did I?
00:04:08
Dakota Zeigler
I think it's Jack Beck.
00:04:10
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I mean, we're buddies. We go, yeah we call him Jake.
00:04:11
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:04:12
Lord Hinkie
the Everybody else calls him Jack. It is what it is.
00:04:14
Dakota Zeigler
Don't. that's
00:04:16
Lord Hinkie
But he got more involved last week. he got way more targets. I'm expecting this team to suck more and play the rookies. So if he gets more involved, I like it for Dynasty. But other than that, he'll gross, nasty.
00:04:26
Lord Hinkie
Any qualms?
00:04:28
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:04:28
Damien
A very illg gross nasty. Where is that Dante Thornton guy? I was hearing about to start the year.
00:04:34
Lord Hinkie
oh
00:04:35
Damien
I'm curious about
Players to Watch: Raiders Edition
00:04:36
Damien
that. And Jacoby Myers with an absolute dud. Kid Stinks, maybe. I don't know. Maybe it's just you know, but that's the only wide receiver I would that'd be the only wide receiver I'd start if you have to start any of them.
00:04:43
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I think G-Notes thinks...
00:04:50
Dakota Zeigler
I wanted to bring up Thornton as well because i he was a guy they were hyping up. He's six five He's fast as all get out. First week, 60% of snaps. Second week, 81%.
00:05:02
Dakota Zeigler
59% of the snaps in week three. 60% to week four. And now we're starting to decline to 47 against Indianapolis. You know, a team they should have had a little more...
00:05:16
Dakota Zeigler
you know, go against there. this This should be another good matchup for him. Can he take advantage? Does anything happen? I don't know, but this may be, you heard on our other podcast in the all formats realm, they talked about Jack Beck a lot and they liked him more than Thornton. They just said Thornton fits the scheme a little bit better because they have Myers, they have Trey Tucker.
00:05:38
Dakota Zeigler
Maybe this is that the pendulum swinging back for Beck. So something to keep our eyes on.
00:05:45
Damien
Did they come out with a new pod? Did I miss something? Sorry.
00:05:49
Dakota Zeigler
Nah, that was offseason talk for them.
00:05:50
Damien
Oh, okay, cool.
00:05:51
Dakota Zeigler
not
00:05:51
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, it's weird how that happens. you know we They get a couple shout-outs on another podcast. They show up for a week or two, and then, hmm.
00:05:58
Damien
Where are they?
00:05:58
Lord Hinkie
Weird. Weird.
00:06:00
Damien
Mom?
00:06:00
Lord Hinkie
Are we starting beef again?
00:06:00
Damien
Dad? What? Anyways.
00:06:03
Dakota Zeigler
I mean, in the in their league of record, in the all formats league of record, two of your hosts on the ZNG pod have the only running bit that stays consistent every week.
00:06:13
Dakota Zeigler
So it's our league now.
00:06:13
Damien
i can
00:06:13
Lord Hinkie
Yeah. my Our back hurts. Our backs are exhausted for carrying that leak.
00:06:18
Damien
like Cut what I said, please. It was a joke and I don't think anyone heard it. Cut it, please.
00:06:26
Dakota Zeigler
All on YouTube, boys. You keep your own notes now.
00:06:29
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, shout out.
00:06:30
Damien
Whatever time constraint this is, 6.30 probably.
00:06:34
Lord Hinkie
If I'm editing it, I'm leaving an end. You're welcome. but
00:06:37
Dakota Zeigler
we do
00:06:37
Damien
yeah
00:06:37
Lord Hinkie
49ers at Bucs.
00:06:40
Lord Hinkie
49ers at Bucs.
49ers and Bucs: Health and Offense
00:06:41
Lord Hinkie
I'm hoping a lot more players can get healthy for San Fran. I mean, they won last week against the Rams, but fantasy-wise, I want to see more players play. Give me Ricky Pearsall. And the Bucs look great behind Baker. Baker iss slinging the ball wherever he wants to, really.
00:06:57
Lord Hinkie
This offense looks incredible. Defense is looking okay-ish. But give me everyone on this Bucs offense. Give me Baker. Give me Ibuka. I think this is maybe the Godwin week where he kind of gets going.
00:07:09
Lord Hinkie
And then no Bucky Irving as we expect. Obviously not confirmed yet. But if Bucky Irving's out, give me Rashad White. If Bucky Irving's in, I think I might be sitting both of them, which kind of sucks. But if Bucky's out, Rashad White's an easy start in this offense. i Still no Mike Evans.
00:07:27
Lord Hinkie
Any qualms?
00:07:30
Damien
No qualms here.
00:07:30
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms. The only thing I wanted to bring up was i was hoping maybe this is the week Brandon Ayuk returned for the 49ers, but the last report four days ago says he's still weeks away from returning.
00:07:42
Dakota Zeigler
So that's
00:07:43
Damien
He might be out the entire year, which sucks.
00:07:43
Lord Hinkie
yeahs Yeah, that's looking like more and more likely. like It's going to be a lot longer than we expected, which sucks, but it is what it is.
00:07:51
Dakota Zeigler
unfortunate. Yeah. Gary, I know you are an Ayuk guy. If this turns out being a long-term...
00:07:56
Lord Hinkie
Eh.
00:07:57
Dakota Zeigler
not i I shouldn't say a guy, but I know you're more in than Damian, I do believe.
00:08:03
Lord Hinkie
Sure.
00:08:04
Dakota Zeigler
Is this a guy we try buying
Buying Low on Injured Players
00:08:06
Dakota Zeigler
low? and you know Once it's announced, hey, you're out in the end of the year. His value is super low right now. I think it's only going to get lower. In an offense that looks half-decent, CMC is older and can be fragile.
00:08:20
Dakota Zeigler
We already talked about Kittle being fragile fragile and and brittle. Is this a guy we may want to buy into? He's 27? Mm-hmm.
00:08:33
Lord Hinkie
I would say if he gets announced as being out for the rest of the year and you're a team that doesn't need him to play this season, I would say bye, Ayuk. I would.
00:08:44
Lord Hinkie
Price would never be lower. He did sign a four-year contract last year, so he still has two years after this year left. So it's not like they're going to move on from him. I do like Ricky Pearsall, but when Ayuk's here, he's probably going to be the wide receiver one.
00:09:01
Lord Hinkie
So I would say by low, yes.
00:09:03
Dakota Zeigler
What are you sending buying low?
00:09:03
Lord Hinkie
But let's see, that's such a tough question.
00:09:09
Dakota Zeigler
Like is a late second.
00:09:11
Lord Hinkie
I was going to say a second.
00:09:12
Damien
I was going to say, as long as you're not sending a first, I'm on board.
00:09:16
Lord Hinkie
Definitely not worth a first round pick. Second round pick at most.
00:09:19
Damien
I would give up a second for him. Yeah.
00:09:21
Lord Hinkie
Yeah. Throw in a crappy player just to fill it in. Yeah, I'm fine with that trade.
00:09:27
Damien
You know Romeo Dobbs, if you will.
00:09:29
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:09:30
Dakota Zeigler
Perfect. Gary trade sent. Yes.
00:09:35
Lord Hinkie
49ers side of things. Is Mac Jones better than Brock Purdy? I'm
Quarterback Debate: Jones vs Purdy
00:09:40
Lord Hinkie
going throw it out there right now.
00:09:40
Damien
Whoa.
00:09:40
Dakota Zeigler
yes
00:09:41
Damien
Might be.
00:09:42
Lord Hinkie
I'm to throw it out there. they've They've each played a fair share of games this season.
00:09:43
Damien
might be
00:09:45
Lord Hinkie
I think they've actually split the year in half. I think Mac Jones looks really good behind this offense. Purdy in both his starts thrown two picks in each of his starts. I don't know. This might be Mac Jones team.
00:09:56
Lord Hinkie
CMC is a stud. Obviously you're playing CMC. George Kittle will be out again this week. So Tungus I think is a pretty good start no matter who the quarterback is. And then for the wide receivers, it's hard to but say it right now because we don't know who is healthy.
00:10:11
Lord Hinkie
But if Pearsall is playing, I'm playing Pearsall. If Jawan Jennings is playing, I'm probably not playing Jawan Jennings. But if either one or both of them are out, I like Mia Kendrick Bourne.
00:10:23
Lord Hinkie
And this team, if you want to like a spot little start, he had like 10 catches last week with Mac Jones. I love that. But definitely this is a game you want to keep your eye on come Sunday to see who's actually in the lineup.
00:10:34
Lord Hinkie
Any qualms?
00:10:36
Damien
Sneaky high-scoring game here. Very sneaky high-scoring game.
00:10:41
Dakota Zeigler
good good coaches teams who knew how to play yeah this is going to be a good matchup I do I i agree with you there
00:10:49
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, give me the box.
Joe Flacco's Career and Bengals Prospects
00:10:51
Lord Hinkie
Bengals at Packers. My first note in here is how weird is Joe Flacco going to look in a Bengals uniform?
00:11:03
Lord Hinkie
Think about it for a second.
00:11:03
Damien
So... Hey...
00:11:05
Lord Hinkie
one second Picture Joe Flacco sitting on the sidelines in a Cincinnati Bengals uniform.
00:11:08
Damien
Thank you.
00:11:14
Lord Hinkie
The orange, the slashes, the Tiger logo on the side. like Think about it. And think about how weird that is.
00:11:23
Damien
So I got a comparison here because I thought about it today. I read the notes and I was like, oh, let me picture that like you said. And then I was like, oh, I think I found it in my brain. so you know how you go to Walmart sometimes and he you see that old person wearing all leopard.
00:11:39
Damien
You know what I mean? That's what it's going to look like. And it's going to be so gross. it's so it's Why are doing that?
00:11:46
Lord Hinkie
so gross.
00:11:46
Damien
Please stop. Go home. Change. Please. Anything but that. That's what it's going to look like. And I thought it was so funny.
00:11:55
Lord Hinkie
It's so nasty.
00:11:58
Damien
Ew.
00:11:58
Dakota Zeigler
BetMGM posted a thing earlier today. It said, congrats to Joe Flacco on completing the Jersey Rainbow for all his teams that he played for.
00:12:07
Lord Hinkie
I kind of forgot how many teams he's been around. Joe Flacco has been passed around.
00:12:12
Dakota Zeigler
He's the new Ryan Fitzpatrick.
00:12:12
Damien
Is he turning into Fitzmagic?
00:12:14
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, exactly.
00:12:14
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, he is.
00:12:15
Damien
Love Fitzmagic.
00:12:17
Lord Hinkie
Shout out.
00:12:18
Damien
Shout out.
00:12:19
Lord Hinkie
For the Bengals. Jamar Chase, we kind of talked about this a little bit earlier in the trade conversations, but I'm thinking it's a slight upgrade for Jamar Chase. Having Joe Flacco as a starting QB, I think.
00:12:33
Lord Hinkie
Chase Brown, I think, is startable again, especially if Joe Flacco loves to check it down to the running back. And then T. Higgins is a play, and you're praying for a touchdown. That's really all you're going to get with him.
00:12:45
Lord Hinkie
Obviously, we just don't know how this offense going to look behind Joe Flacco. We've seen how bad it can be with a bad quarterback and a bad offensive line.
00:12:55
Lord Hinkie
I don't know how much better Joe Flacco makes this team. It's just kind of like an A move. How do you guys feel about this Bengals team? And are you all the way back on playing all these Bengals players?
00:13:06
Damien
Hot take. I think Joe Flacco brings them above 500. And when Joe Burrow gets back, they're going to make the playoffs. I think he's good enough to get them by where they at least have close to a winning record and they can fight for a playoff spot like the 6-7 seed.
00:13:28
Damien
That's how far I think Joe Flacco can elevate. because like You're not asking to do a lot when you have weapons like they have. It's just quick outs and Pray. Like, just don't make mistakes.
00:13:40
Damien
That's their big problem since Joe Burrow has been out, is don't make mistakes. And I think Joe Flacco eliminates a lot of potential mistakes.
00:13:49
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I don't hate that at all.
00:13:50
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:13:51
Dakota Zeigler
i I agree with you. i think I think Gary is out here discounting Flacco. I think definitely helps the team.
00:13:57
Lord Hinkie
Dude, he looked bad this year for the Browns.
00:14:01
Damien
It's the Browns.
00:14:02
Dakota Zeigler
I'm going to bring Damian's conversation here.
00:14:02
Lord Hinkie
It's the Bengals.
00:14:06
Dakota Zeigler
Who are their wide receivers?
00:14:07
Damien
thanks
00:14:11
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, sure.
00:14:11
Damien
Jamari Thrash.
00:14:13
Lord Hinkie
Yes.
00:14:14
Dakota Zeigler
Some bum named David Njoku that's out there.
00:14:16
Damien
Malachi Corley.
00:14:20
Dakota Zeigler
Jerry Judy, Cedric Tillman.
00:14:20
Damien
Harold Fannin. I didn't say that name. I didn't say that name either. I said what I said. Jamari Thrash. Malachi Corley.
00:14:29
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:14:29
Damien
Let's go.
00:14:30
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. So who would you rather have, Damian?
00:14:33
Lord Hinkie
i see i see I see what you're saying.
00:14:34
Dakota Zeigler
Who would you rather have?
00:14:36
Lord Hinkie
Obviously, he has better weapons than Cincinnati.
00:14:36
Dakota Zeigler
Jamar Chase or Jerry Judy?
00:14:37
Damien
what your
00:14:40
Dakota Zeigler
Tee Higgins or Cedric Tillman?
00:14:42
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:14:42
Damien
Well, the question for me is Jamar Chase, but the question is for you. you taking Jerry Judy?
00:14:49
Dakota Zeigler
No, heck no.
00:14:50
Damien
listen
00:14:51
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:14:51
Dakota Zeigler
I thought maybe he'd have a couple good weeks to start out with, but I think this is going to be the meme going forward. I mean, heck with it. Jamar down there somewhere.
00:15:02
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, we talked about that earlier. Yeah.
00:15:04
Damien
God, I wanted them to get Jameis so bad.
00:15:07
Dakota Zeigler
I wanted Jameis too. I think this is the best alternative Jameis out there, though. You get a guy who knows football.
00:15:15
Dakota Zeigler
You get a guy who understands... the
00:15:15
Lord Hinkie
Kirk Cousins exists.
00:15:19
Lord Hinkie
Am I the only one that remember Kirk Cousins as a quarterback?
00:15:19
Dakota Zeigler
They have all their money. they He has so much money.
00:15:22
Damien
It's a contract.
00:15:23
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:15:24
Damien
It's a contract.
00:15:25
Lord Hinkie
yeah but like Yeah, sure.
00:15:25
Damien
That's it. That's the only reason why.
00:15:26
Lord Hinkie
But if we're talking players, like the best backup in the league is Kirk Cousins.
00:15:30
Damien
No.
00:15:31
Lord Hinkie
Who? Who's better? You think Jameis is better than Kirk Cousins?
00:15:34
Damien
Huh. Hey, Senior, are you out there?
00:15:37
Dakota Zeigler
I knew it was coming.
00:15:37
Damien
Tanner McKee.
00:15:38
Lord Hinkie
a
00:15:39
Dakota Zeigler
knew it was coming. i knew it was coming.
00:15:42
Lord Hinkie
That's good. I did it to myself.
00:15:45
Dakota Zeigler
I thought i thought dami either Damien was going there or it was... He's not even listed on Sleeper's death chart, but behind T-Law.
00:15:52
Damien
No, he got cut. I'm so pissed.
00:15:54
Dakota Zeigler
You got...
00:15:55
Lord Hinkie
that that again?
00:15:56
Damien
He got cut.
00:15:56
Dakota Zeigler
Aww.
00:15:56
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:15:56
Damien
I'm pissed.
00:15:57
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, he's selling cars somewhere. But I think my take is I think
00:16:00
Damien
but
00:16:01
Dakota Zeigler
but
00:16:03
Lord Hinkie
Joe Flacco is an absolute statue. He's 40 years old. This offense in line sucks. If they get any pressure on him, at least Browning could kind of like move around the pocket a little bit and avoid some sacks.
00:16:15
Lord Hinkie
Flacco's not going to be able to avoid these sacks. He's just going to have to take all of them. Or they're going to have to completely renovate their offense, which they should have done anyways. I just don't i don't know how much better this team got with Joe Flacco.
00:16:28
Dakota Zeigler
Mm-hmm.
00:16:28
Lord Hinkie
I'm on the side that I think they end up dumpster firing this year and they end up just shutting down Joe Burrow for the rest of the season and they pray for a good draft pick and then try again next year.
00:16:39
Damien
I mean, if they're in the conversation for a top five pick, I do think they shut everyone down.
00:16:40
Lord Hinkie
I'm on that side. Yeah,
00:16:45
Lord Hinkie
yeah I mean, they're two and three.
00:16:45
Damien
Which would be kind of cool. But there's not really, like, a good tackle in this class. Like, if I'm remembering right, it's...
00:16:51
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, but at this point, you're you're looking to just be bad and figure out later. But, like, they are two and three right now. They play the Packers, the Steelers, the Jets, the Bears, the Steelers again.
00:17:02
Lord Hinkie
they end up having to play the Patriots and the Bills later on in the year, Ravens later on in the year. i I think this team is going to be bad, but hopefully, don't know, Jamar can figure it out.
00:17:15
Damien
I think they're going to be like playoff contention, like in the hunt all year. And then they might fall out like the last week or two. I think that's where they're going to be like a, like a nice little seven and nine, seven and 10, eight and nine, something like that.
00:17:32
Lord Hinkie
yeah
00:17:32
Damien
But I think Joe Flacco, he doesn't lift the ceiling, but I think he elevates the floor, which is what they need.
00:17:40
Lord Hinkie
i think Actually, I think that is that is well said.
00:17:42
Dakota Zeigler
That's fair.
00:17:43
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I agree with that.
00:17:43
Dakota Zeigler
That's very fair.
00:17:45
Lord Hinkie
For the Packers side of things, obviously you're playing into Josh Jacobs. Love Josh jacob Jacobs in this matchup. I love love. i love me some Jordan Love. Love loves Tucker Craft, so I love some Tucker Craft.
00:17:58
Lord Hinkie
And I'm calling a big game from Matthew Golden this week. He's getting more and more of the work. Obviously, it was Dobbs week two weeks ago before their bye. I think after this bye week, they you know got Golden and moving a little bit, and now that he's a rookie, he's they're letting go of his – they're letting him off the leash, if you will. So I'm calling a big Matthew Golden week this week.
00:18:20
Lord Hinkie
But if you want to start Romeo Dobbs, you know, at your own peril. Any qualms?
00:18:26
Damien
No qualms here.
00:18:28
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms.
00:18:30
Lord Hinkie
Sunday night football.
Chiefs in Primetime: A Growing Frustration
00:18:35
Lord Hinkie
Lions at the Chiefs.
00:18:38
Lord Hinkie
Boys, I don't know why this is upsetting me so much, but it is. And sadly, since you are my friends and we record a podcast, you're going to have to hear about it.
00:18:50
Lord Hinkie
I don't understand why the Kansas City Chiefs continue to get primetime football games. This is their fourth one in six weeks so far this year, and they have like three more of the rest of the season.
00:19:04
Lord Hinkie
I am sick and tired. Of watching this football team play. I want to see anybody else. Give me a crappy football game. I could care less. Well let me watch different players play football.
00:19:16
Lord Hinkie
Let me not hear the reporters. Just Glaze over Patrick Mahomes. The whole god damn time. I'm sick of listening to it man. I'm sick of watching this awful football team.
00:19:28
Lord Hinkie
I'm sick of watching this like. Spagnola. Andy Reid. They're incredible. like I'm tired of watching it. Please show me. Anything else, please.
00:19:39
Lord Hinkie
God forbid we watch another football team play football on a Sunday night or a Monday night. Like, just anybody else, please.
00:19:50
Lord Hinkie
And they're favored over the Detroit Lions. The Detroit Lions are playing football incredibly this year. They've won four of the last five games. They're putting up 35, 40 points.
00:20:02
Lord Hinkie
They put up 50 points so far this season. And they're underdogs to the Kansas City Chiefs who are 2-3 and they just lost the Jacksonville Jaguars. How? Explain that to me.
00:20:13
Lord Hinkie
That makes no sense. 2035. Take the take the mic
00:20:25
Damien
it's hey Guys, I don't have anything better for you. I'm just giving Junior some field time here so he can who re-energize and keep going on this rant that I think he's going to keep going on for the rest of the night.
00:20:38
Damien
I agree with him. I'm just going to move on so hopefully we can get this podcast done by midnight. For all the Lions, you start all of them. It doesn't matter who.
Chiefs vs Lions: Key Players and Strategies
00:20:49
Damien
Gibbs, Monty, Amon Ra, Jared Goff, a cheeky little Jameson Williams there. And then for the Chiefs, Mahomes is okay, I guess.
00:20:59
Damien
Kelsey is okay, I guess.
00:21:00
Lord Hinkie
Thank you.
00:21:02
Damien
The RB room is weird. Hunt looks like he's the guy there. Although Brashard Smith has slowly been getting a lot more involved in that offense, so I'm curious about that.
00:21:14
Damien
Tyquan Thornton is a name to throw out there. It's like, you know, flex. We have no one literally no one else throughout. I guess you start Tyquan Thornton. And then my question to the fellas, where is Jalen Royals?
00:21:30
Damien
I don't get it. I don't understand why he's not part of the offensive game plan. i that There's no way in my mind i can confidently say that he can't outproduce Tyquan Thornton.
00:21:44
Damien
Nowhere in my head is that even comprehensible. Or he's not even listed above him on the depth chart. Junior, I'll bring it back to you.
00:21:53
Lord Hinkie
I think, thank you for giving me that break to get a drink and go for a walk and come back. I think we have to give up on Jalen Royals for this season.
00:22:05
Lord Hinkie
It's just not going to happen.
00:22:07
Damien
Stop it. Don't do that to me.
00:22:07
Lord Hinkie
he's He's had all the opportunity in the world to get on the field. he wasn't able to stay healthy when they had literally no wide receivers playing football. And Rasheed Rice, I think, is is going to be back, I believe, next week after his suspension or the week after. I can't remember correctly, but his window has been missed, and we have to just hope for next year and he can have a good offseason.
00:22:28
Lord Hinkie
He's a dynasty stash.
00:22:28
Damien
Hey, Zig. Hey, Zig. Can I get the sad music real quick?
00:22:31
Dakota Zeigler
Yep. I got you. I got you.
00:22:37
Damien
You got me tearing up, Junior.
00:22:39
Lord Hinkie
I'm sorry. i Sometimes you need some tough love in the world.
00:22:42
Damien
Don't leave me on this island on my own. Okay?
00:22:45
Lord Hinkie
i' I'm still there, i'm but I'm there next year.
00:22:47
Damien
No, no. You left.
00:22:49
Lord Hinkie
no I'm sorry.
00:22:51
Damien
You're on paid holiday. I thought when you believe in a guy, you're with a guy. Even through the tough times.
00:22:57
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:22:58
Damien
And you're leaving me out here on my own. Fight for a guy. the don't even know what to do.
00:23:06
Dakota Zeigler
Here comes a violin, Damien.
00:23:06
Damien
So sad.
00:23:07
Dakota Zeigler
Here comes a violin.
00:23:08
Damien
Okay, I'll try i'll keep it.
00:23:10
Lord Hinkie
Oh, God.
00:23:10
Damien
Oh, God, it's so sad.
00:23:10
Lord Hinkie
Not
00:23:11
Damien
i don't even know what to do.
00:23:14
Lord Hinkie
Jalen.
00:23:14
Damien
Jalen Royals, please. Please start doing anything.
00:23:18
Lord Hinkie
Just let him play.
00:23:20
Damien
Get a target. Please.
00:23:21
Lord Hinkie
let him play.
00:23:21
Damien
Anything.
00:23:22
Lord Hinkie
Please.
00:23:23
Damien
Anything.
00:23:23
Dakota Zeigler
Step on the field. was great.
00:23:25
Damien
God, please.
00:23:27
Lord Hinkie
Take a return.
00:23:27
Damien
Junior, don't leave me alone. Don't leave me alone.
00:23:29
Lord Hinkie
What return?
00:23:29
Damien
Okay, okay, so that's enough.
00:23:31
Lord Hinkie
Something. That's a good bit.
00:23:32
Damien
Thank you. That was so fun.
00:23:33
Dakota Zeigler
that was great
00:23:34
Damien
But...
00:23:35
Lord Hinkie
I need that clip.
00:23:36
Damien
yeah That's so good. But don't leave me alone, man. Let's fight. It's our guy. Let's fight for our guy.
00:23:43
Lord Hinkie
I understand, but you also have to give like, this is a podcast. We have to give our actual takes. There's like, he's not going to get in this year.
00:23:52
Damien
This is my actual take.
00:23:53
Lord Hinkie
It's, I don't, it's.
00:23:54
Damien
He's going to get in this year. I think that wholeheartedly.
00:23:55
Dakota Zeigler
Anything Jalen Royals does this year, Gary cannot claim.
00:24:00
Lord Hinkie
Sure.
00:24:02
Damien
Cool.
00:24:03
Dakota Zeigler
it
00:24:04
Lord Hinkie
But I'm, I'm not giving up.
00:24:04
Damien
You poser.
00:24:06
Lord Hinkie
I love Jalen Rose, the player. And when he gets the opportunity next season,
00:24:10
Damien
Poser.
00:24:11
Lord Hinkie
I'll be all the way back in.
00:24:11
Damien
Nah. Nope. Poser. I ride through my guys thick and thin.
00:24:17
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, you do.
00:24:18
Damien
How you doing, Kyle and Granson? How you doing?
00:24:20
Lord Hinkie
monday Monday night football.
00:24:21
Dakota Zeigler
How's Isaiah Spiller?
00:24:22
Damien
How you doing?
00:24:24
Dakota Zeigler
Where are you?
00:24:24
Lord Hinkie
Ew, gross.
00:24:25
Damien
How you doing?
00:24:26
Dakota Zeigler
You
00:24:29
Lord Hinkie
This podcast sucks. Monday night football. Bills at Falcons.
Bills vs Falcons Preview
00:24:36
Lord Hinkie
Bills. Running game looked horrendous last week.
00:24:40
Lord Hinkie
Uh, Falcons off the buy. I think it's going to be a pretty good game. you starting all your bills. no questions about it.
00:24:47
Damien
and I think that's what I'm saying.
00:24:47
Lord Hinkie
Don't get K looks like a stud. Give me all the Don't get even key on Coleman got back in the end zone last week. I think he's, he's always going to be a spotty start, but you know, you got to live with the bad to get the good.
00:25:00
Lord Hinkie
and then on the Falcon side of things, B's or Robinson's incredible. Jake London's a good start. Kyle Pitts is definitely playable in your tight end leagues. I'm probably sitting Michael Penix in this situation if I have him, but fellas, any qualms?
00:25:16
Damien
mozzie
00:25:18
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms.
00:25:19
Lord Hinkie
No qualms. The other Monday night football game that's not kicking off at like 12 o'clock at night is the Bears at Commanders. Bears fresh off a bye again. Both by two bye teams getting a Monday night football game, getting an extra day rest.
00:25:33
Lord Hinkie
It's very interesting how they did that this year. But Bears at Commanders. See how the Bears look. You're starting your usual Bears. Adunze, Swift, Kaleeb is a pretty good start.
00:25:45
Lord Hinkie
Damian hasn't here. Actually, buddy, I'll let you go ahead and say yourself.
00:25:49
Damien
Yeah, I think off of a bye, I think they're going to start using their rooks a lot more. So a sneaky little start for Luther Burden and Colson Loveland. Just be on the lookout for them to be a little bit more involved in this offense as year goes on.
00:26:04
Lord Hinkie
I got no qualms. I'm hoping Loveland can get more involved. I'm actually been trying to trade for him in a few situations.
00:26:07
Damien
Please.
00:26:10
Lord Hinkie
So if you have him, send him over. Very cheeky. And then on the commander side of things, JCM looks like a must start in that situation.
00:26:21
Damien
Save for the people in the back.
00:26:22
Damien
One more time.
00:26:23
Lord Hinkie
Ja'Cory, Krosky, Merritt must be a start in all your leagues.
00:26:29
Damien
Hell yeah.
00:26:32
Lord Hinkie
Jaden Daniels is the start.
00:26:33
Damien
Nope.
00:26:35
Lord Hinkie
Damian's not a afraid to start Zach Gertz, and we're running back Zach Gertz again.
00:26:35
Damien
Bye, bye.
00:26:39
Lord Hinkie
And if McLaurin's healthy, Debo looked – actually, Debo did look pretty good last week, surprisingly. I hate to give that guy his flowers because, man, he does not deserve them. But he looked pretty okay last week, and McLaurin, his health up and down. But if he ends up playing this week, I'm in.
00:26:58
Lord Hinkie
That's going to be a sneaky good game, that Bears-Commanders game.
00:26:58
Damien
Yep, Mazi. Agree. That's going to great game.
00:27:03
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, I'll be staying up to watch that one for sure. Zig, any qualms?
00:27:05
Damien
Yep.
00:27:06
Dakota Zeigler
I was going to ask how late is late for you to stay up and watch that That's fair.
00:27:10
Lord Hinkie
See, that'll be a game I'll watch in bed as I fall asleep, and I'm going to be okay with that.
00:27:14
Damien
Yeah. I'll fall asleep at like 9.30. It's like midway through the second quarter, and I'm cool with that.
00:27:19
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:27:21
Dakota Zeigler
I do think this would be a good game too. So curious. And like, like Damian mentioned, curious to see how they use the rookies here coming off the buy teams looking good. I think are we back on the train where Ben Johnson is a guy?
00:27:35
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, everyone overreacted.
00:27:36
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:27:36
Damien
I'm on the fence.
00:27:38
Lord Hinkie
Everyone overreacted.
00:27:38
Damien
I'm on the fence. I'm still on the fence. I still want to kick him right in the nuts because that was horrendous first couple weeks, but I also like what I saw. So I'm i'm like half kicking him in the nuts, half patting him.
00:27:50
Damien
So do with that as you will.
00:27:53
Dakota Zeigler
My last question here with the Bears, DJ Moore, what do we do with him?
00:28:00
Damien
So anything but be on your roster.
00:28:01
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, well, it's almost too late to sell.
00:28:05
Dakota Zeigler
That's the thing. yeah
00:28:05
Damien
You gotta
00:28:07
Damien
if If you can get one first, I would try and get a first, but if even if it's a 28 first, do it.
00:28:07
Dakota Zeigler
I mean, are are you happy with two seconds?
00:28:15
Dakota Zeigler
I don't know if you can get a first one right now. I really don't.
00:28:17
Lord Hinkie
I don't think can get a first for DJ Moore.
00:28:18
Dakota Zeigler
That's what I'm saying. Like, two seconds.
00:28:20
Damien
If you can get a 26 and a 27 second for him, that's a win, I think, too.
00:28:26
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, honestly, i would take a second and a third for DJ Moore if I had him. I would try and get out of it as soon as I can.
00:28:32
Dakota Zeigler
Didn't he just sign like a record-breaking Bears contract or something like, or contract with the Bears?
00:28:37
Lord Hinkie
i think he I think when he got traded, he signed a big contract.
00:28:38
Damien
i don't I don't think so.
00:28:40
Dakota Zeigler
Not record-breaking. I shouldn't say record-breaking. I should say like in the Bears history, they haven't paid. i don't remember. I remember something on Hard Knocks when he got signed.
00:28:51
Lord Hinkie
No, they paid Brandon Marshall a bunch of money back in the day.
00:28:56
Damien
Yeah.
00:28:57
Dakota Zeigler
That's true. That's true.
00:28:58
Lord Hinkie
man'am But i mean think I think when he signed, he was like the highest paid. Obviously, he's the highest paid in Chicago Bears history because the money just goes up and up every year. Is that if that's what you're trying to say?
00:29:07
Dakota Zeigler
Maybe that's what it was.
00:29:07
Damien
Yeah, they're working on recession dollars the last time they had a decent wide receiver there, so...
00:29:12
Lord Hinkie
Yeah.
00:29:14
Dakota Zeigler
But no, I think this would be a good game. I love Odunze. Odunze's the guy there. Again, try to buy that Kaleeb Odunze stack and from one of our hosts in a league. and
00:29:26
Lord Hinkie
Nope.
00:29:27
Dakota Zeigler
Hey, it's untouchable now.
00:29:30
Lord Hinkie
The fact that i I sent you counters scares me.
00:29:33
Dakota Zeigler
And I didn't assess.
00:29:37
Lord Hinkie
Sorry about it.
00:29:38
Dakota Zeigler
It kills me. Damn.
00:29:40
Damien
Send those to me. What the hell?
00:29:43
Lord Hinkie
We were like actually negotiating sending Zig a Caleb Williams and Robo Dune Zane. i i was i was getting back a lot, but I was like, I need a bunch. And Zig almost was willing to give it to me.
00:29:54
Lord Hinkie
So you missed out, buddy.
00:29:54
Damien
how How about you talk to me next time? How about you talk to me next time?
00:29:57
Dakota Zeigler
I mean, it was a lot.
00:29:58
Lord Hinkie
You're a tough negotiator, buddy.
00:29:59
Lord Hinkie
Usually i like making out good in my trades.
00:30:01
Dakota Zeigler
It was a lot, but...
00:30:01
Lord Hinkie
so
00:30:02
Damien
i like I like being fair. How about that? I like being fair.
00:30:05
Lord Hinkie
Fairly yourself.
00:30:05
Damien
Everyone wins.
00:30:09
Damien
And that's fair to me.
00:30:16
Lord Hinkie
We have to get into our bets before we head out of this week. Like we said earlier, the ZNG podcast let everyone down this week. We went 0-3 on our parlay with Breeze Hall, o' Xavier Worthy, and Trey McBride.
00:30:28
Lord Hinkie
Hate to see it. I'm still upset about my Breeze Hall fumbling in the red zone. I selfishly wanted to keep my streak going and keep it go 5-0, but obviously here we are. Ninja, start us off. Who is your pick for the ZNG touchdown?
00:30:42
Lord Hinkie
Anytime touchdown parlay for this week, buddy.
00:30:45
Damien
Yeah, first off, I just want to say we're sorry. We're normally not that bad. We actually all want a little bit of money this weekend, just not on this bet. so So maybe we got to post our Sunday bets to the socials as we put them out there.
00:30:59
Damien
We'll get a couple approved. But anyways, to the ZNG bet of the week, my part of the parlay is Quinchan Stutkins.
00:31:08
Lord Hinkie
dud
00:31:09
Damien
Been looking like an absolute stud. What? I think he's going to get a touchdown this week. I think it's a lock. At minus 105. Give me Quinson Stutkins.
00:31:22
Lord Hinkie
Love that one. I do think it's going to low scoring game there in Pittsburgh, but if anybody's going to score, it's going to be Quinn Sean. Zig, who is your touchdown score for this week as
00:31:36
Lord Hinkie
Oh, he has his headphones off.
00:31:38
Damien
I think you should go, buddy.
00:31:39
Lord Hinkie
Okay. It looks like we're having some technical difficulties. If I end up editing of this, man, Zig is just on one tonight. My pick for the touchdown parlay is Amon Ross St. Brown.
00:31:53
Lord Hinkie
I have him going up against the Chiefs in that Sunday Night Football game that I love with a rant on. But I think Amon Ross gets it done there in Kansas City. That offense looks amazing, and there's no reason he can't score.
00:32:04
Lord Hinkie
And then for Zig, I'll give his out as well because looks like he's having some trouble. He is going with Jamar Chase, the score touchdown, and Joe Flacco's first start there in Cincinnati.
00:32:17
Lord Hinkie
Definitely a hot take, I would say, especially starting him off right off the bat. And I think giving him a week to, like, warm up and see how it goes. But Zig is going with Jamar Chase. I don't have the odds for all three of those parlays thrown the together, but it's probably a decent little payout there. But obviously, bet responsibly if you can.
00:32:34
Lord Hinkie
But to wrap up our CNT anytime touchdown parlay, that is Quinn Sean Judkins, Amon Ross, St. Brown and Jamar Chase.
00:32:44
Lord Hinkie
So, yeah, if you guys end up betting that, send your receipts in the ZNG Dynasty Facebook, throw them in the comments. We'd love to see you them if anybody actually bets them out there. And then Ninja, give me your bet of the week parlay of the week, buddy.
00:32:58
Damien
Uh, so scratch all what he just said about betting responsibly. Let's put a mortgage down on my bed of the week, the ninjas parlay the week. And guess what, boys?
00:33:06
Lord Hinkie
Cheeky.
00:33:07
Damien
It's a tight end parlay where we all make money and it doesn't matter how you put it.
00:33:10
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
00:33:14
Damien
The first leg of the parlay, Tucker Craft, anytime at plus 125. Tyler Warren at plus 180. Trey McBride at plus 200. And then a sneaky little Travis Kelsey there at plus 125.
00:33:28
Lord Hinkie
cheeky
00:33:29
Damien
You add all of that nonsense up around 4,000 odds. $10 when you have $400, guys. So, you know, bet your mortgage on it.
00:33:38
Lord Hinkie
Yep.
00:33:40
Damien
All that fun stuff, you know. be be irresponsible as you can and to to take like four cash advances from your job.
00:33:42
Lord Hinkie
Take out a loan. Use that loan to bet on the parlay.
00:33:48
Damien
And like, this is cash this week.
00:33:48
Lord Hinkie
Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:51
Damien
Cause we all make money off of good tight ends. And even if you don't, at least you got a good tight end.
00:33:53
Lord Hinkie
who led
00:33:56
Damien
You know what I mean?
00:33:57
Lord Hinkie
Who doesn't love a good tight end? And to throw it in there, every single one of these players' names starts with T.
00:34:03
Damien
Love it. Love it. And I hate to tell you guys,
00:34:04
Lord Hinkie
Tucker, Tyler, Travis, Trey.
00:34:08
Damien
I hate to tell you guys, I did a tight end parlay. It wasn't my ninja bet of the week, and it hit, and it hit for big money. So I feel irresponsible not giving you a tight end parlay that could hit for some big money too. So I just feel bad. I'm trying to make it up to you guys. I'm trying to make you guys a little bit of money. So hopefully this one works out. I think it will.
00:34:29
Damien
Let's make some money together.
00:34:29
Lord Hinkie
Love a good sympathy bet. I love this bet as well. I will be tailing you on this one. Hopefully we make some money for the Bowies. But before we head out of here, fellas, it's been a good one. It's been fun.
00:34:39
Lord Hinkie
Do you guys have anything to say to the people before we head out of here? Zig, can you hear me and what's going on, buddy?
00:34:44
Dakota Zeigler
I can hear you. Yeah. Production struggling tonight. Headphones died right in the middle of conversation. Couldn't get any audio to work, so I had no idea what you guys were saying for that last little bit there.
00:34:53
Lord Hinkie
Mm-hmm.
00:34:54
Dakota Zeigler
Appreciate you guys listening. Last week was my bad. I didn't catch the recording not happening, so hopefully that doesn't happen this week. This week's just going to be a little bit of choppy because, yeah.
00:35:05
Dakota Zeigler
This week's not been my week, but we're still rolling. We're here for the people. Had a great time tonight, boys. Great chit-chatting. Let's just hit on a bet this week. That's all I really want.
00:35:15
Lord Hinkie
Please God.
00:35:16
Dakota Zeigler
i We made a lot of money outside of the ZNG bets, and that's just disappointing. so
00:35:22
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, it really is. and Ninja, what do you got?
00:35:26
Damien
Yeah, if anyone's out there with post-production experience, we're looking for a guy.
00:35:31
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:35:32
Lord Hinkie
a
00:35:32
Damien
So... I'm kidding. We love you, Sig. But yes, it was so great hopping back on with the boys. God, it always feels like it's been so long, but it's only been a week.
00:35:42
Damien
So great to hop back on with you boys. And yes, hopefully our bets actually do hit because we've been making some decent money. it just hasn't been the bets we've been showing yet because we make those at Sunday when we have, you know, all the players and all the odds.
00:35:55
Damien
So hopefully we hit for you guys. I don't think we're going to have another 0 for 3 week the rest of the year.
00:36:00
Lord Hinkie
no
00:36:00
Damien
At least one of us is going to hit. And if you're going to put any money on anybody, put it on. Quench on. Stutkins. What? But no.
00:36:11
Damien
Love you guys all with all sincerity. And this is going to be a little bit choppy. So whoever does edit this between me, Junior, or Zig, good luck.
00:36:20
Lord Hinkie
Yeah, good luck to us. Also, good luck listeners. This is one to where if you're not a diehard, there's no way you're listening to this crap this week. We appreciate you guys listening. If you're hearing the words I'm saying right now, congratulations.

Damien
Shout out, Joe Thomas. How you doing, buddy?
