" Floor so birdies -- Lunch break on Jerry Eagles host like John Ellis -- home -- that he's innocent of all Friday we threw the fantasy football season when had lots of surprises. I think guys and we didn't necessarily know. That it showed up in that put a really big points and guys and we expect to do big things they didn't show up who gets all of those different topics and -- also -- bit about are we to strategy some of the things that we think. Are good ideas for how you approach of week two of the fantasy football season wanting out but allowed his. Tennessee is a marathon it is not a sprint don't panic all right we'll talk a bit more about that we get going Josh -- one had to go in in --"

" Just about as bad as. You know yours and nick did in the cowboys' -- that -- I them into other leagues and -- a split 11 all -- the one but. I have I think -- panic and one of the month. Try not Brian Johnson to start this week and some other and -- you've been in in favor of mine well listen this is kind of a deeply I didn't have an have a -- That is not lost -- some. -- like -- up in shank in the -- now yeah. But they it is."

" Actually you mentioned the Cowboys the funny I was and that's the only of the I didn't do well in this league mothers who leaked and he quite well put up some pretty impressive point -- The Cowboys in the I'm starting to come in the next last year. I -- Stephen Jackson who. Who ends up you know injured most of the year he's not being able produce the way we expect him to be here I have LaDainian Tomlinson. And mean he plays you know and get average numbers and -- think he put up fourteen points. Certainly not what I was expecting from him. And then on top that he gets an injured -- so they'll start to wonder from a little bit jinx TJ Houshmandzadeh did absolutely nothing forming which. We going to talk about them as a team in with the guys think about the Cincinnati singles. Just in between Ochoa and go -- TJ Ian and Carson Palmer really produced nothing against Baltimore Ravens deep and we'll talk about -- we think the rate deep it's is that good or. If the Cincinnati guys are really just that that I personally want to do on the show today want to talk a little there about we -- you know it's made at the beginning of the show. It the philosophy now is -- that always stick -- and it's something that. Those of you listen to our show for years I know it's open and nick preaches every year in this time in -- two. Is don't panic this is a marathon is not a sprint whatever you saw this weekend to some degree put -- in the back of your mind. And don't let it influence the guys that you start in week to stick with your draft ward -- too. If you start to become a pattern over in my opinion I don't usually -- three or four weeks. Based on how -- that the -- But if it becomes a pattern that lasts longer than that game you start making adjustments before right now stick with your draft when I went back and look at some numbers from last year I went -- but you guys don't want to get some opinions on this. Drew Brees which I think was the poster boy for this philosophy. Going back to last year's first four weeks the NFL's these sports -- games and yet an average of eight point five mean as you point to that standard boring in a point four per yard viewpoint protect and that's where he averaged eight point five. -- into the season average. With 22 points. As you can see after week that that fourth game he started blowing up and put up huge numbers. Those who panicked and got rid of him on the -- in in trade -- Mets overpaying. They ended up being the losers with that that's. One of the points -- there you look at guys like Derek Anderson Braylon Edwards able also had that week one last year and was laboratory Anderson last year. Only threw 484 yards in week one against Pittsburgh again another deep it's a pretty good. And went -- one interception in week two he blows a 328 yards five touchdowns and one interception. All saying is -- with your draft where he got thoughts on the."

" I'd have to agree -- on that these guys. I was even apparently failed to how to -- down and had three catches for 31 yards but he did the same thing here every previously pointing out -- any week to next seven get -- seven and he finished strong down the stretch of some of these players are better second -- players and open up the numbers is that -- definitely count and goes on the line and he just gets stronger as the season goes on he's kind of a slow starter and some players are that way."

" The -- I will tossed out as he got them a little bit later -- I'm saying those guys in the first second and maybe even third round. Those guys don't stick. -- guys that are a little bit more maybe some of those middle rounds. I think you could possibly sit in the -- awesome the last week that here you. But don't get rid of I make no trades this early unless. I have a guy who came out of nowhere did something huge in I don't think he's going to sustain it. That's the kind of guy a look at pushing right now but I don't know that panic on a -- elected in the first second or third round right now unless of course you're getting great value back. Not familiar at Daytona mistaking you draft board that also means not you know going wild -- Devery Henderson had a big game and it's it's we have someone could get -- yeah. Sometimes these guys just day. They get lucky one week and you can't. -- ever for the whole season are you in the next week night guarantees an idiot but. Yeah one of the doubt throw -- that did the same thing last year is that march Jones through last season in his first three games he only averaged five point. -- infinity point last year in the -- for five and -- he put up twenty points 34 points and sixteen points consecutively. And he's an average of thirteen so. Again just another guy that's an example of some guys just have a slow start. It may not be him really getting up -- close ties in May be to their teams caddie used in the way. To where they kind of get him going a little bit later you remember teams also see the season as a marathon and so they'll work guys in. As they see the need to do to start with certain guys and establishing certain things. And the you know start adding in the wrinkles as the season goes on and he added those wrinkles that changed the dynamics of the statistics while I guys -- Jones who looks like he needed one of those have."

" could be about the offensive line in Jacksonville is the big question now. Honda missing I think three of their starters and two of them are possibly on there demonstrating on line. So without offensive line is banged up and -- ever see her step up like they need to they they may be seen me in the box and."

" But that may be a good thing for Joe Jones do any reason why -- that is because at -- eight the boxers can't you might see a lot of those two back sets a -- of the -- right now Porter is still you know if the only he's going to be back. If they decide to it to put Boca -- gotten back -- or they decided they need to get a little bit more. Pass catching out of the running back position. Because of the things going on the offensive line. That can end of being a really -- for for -- you because they'll quarterback draws it draws out of the -- not a bad quarterback and I just don't think I see him as a guy that'll dink and dunk you down the field that always a good thing running back catching passes out of the backfield. And that's what Jones who brings that team a lot of ways is that guy and he can't. Going out and backed the so it may end up being more fit for him -- point cricket league make Jones you a more valuable commodity."

" Yeah definitely valuable there and much like I think the Titans -- Johnson backfield and as we see as we saw. -- split carries with now LenDale White. Number it unless -- think -- recently though I had a better average rushed for 93 yards and you know three catches for 34."

" Well real organized here use this. The thing in the players' names on Lendale. Glendale. I mean they -- in day. Another announces that in sunny California against them then that leaves you he's from -- specter of victory. With a high school went. Bill means that in the even in Denver lining -- Colorado it and Colorado something like it was a good -- actually try to carry him and -- and he -- it -- they would --"

" a little game one -- guys before we get our phone calls and email I'm going to trusted name is some guys that big week -- one. And what I want you to do was tell me one or two things are they the truth but it one point got that that to heart. Are we going to start with. Your -- again and Eddie Royal you've been preaching about anyway I have to listen to get this last a couple was about a month ago we were in Denver. We're going to that the Broncos facility for practice. And I had to listen to Jeremy the entire drive talk to me about how great Eddie Royal was going to be done he'd gone back and that does that he knew that. Rookie wide receivers are never really great. I think that the when you throughout as Isaac Bruce and that was back you know I don't know he's easily as classmate. So you guys it's -- wary you know you that you were big a role and he loved Eddie Royal. Last week. Again it's the man he don't have to put some really big numbers nine get a 146 yards and a -- is that true -- is -- we want. Is only wonder and -- conduct is ridiculous -- anybody else. -- Denmark --"

" I think it's the truth I don't think you'll see him targeted as much but I still think you'll see big play out of hand and he's earned it he's earned a spot is that number two our receivers I mean he's and there are now. Brandon marshall's pennant on the double coverage and he's going to be wide open as is he saw the other night Putin's. His run an excellent routes he's a wide open and he developed a chemistry while I'm Marshall was gone in the you know PCs now -- in the -- guys on the minds is this kid for real nice that yeah. Shanahan doesn't start rookie wide receivers didn't even think about them and this kid moved up the chart and -- so and it tells a lot. Ballot they think about him he also returns punts for the Broncos yeah."

" I'll put it feel like it's I can agree at this point I think he's going to be a player. -- he's going to put up some pretty good numbers this year. I still don't know if I start him every week I asked that fueled the more to know that because they'll was a unique circumstance last week. You know with the with their their big guys out you know now he's got -- at a grand -- going to be back. Brennan Marshall will be the number one guy and even if -- double team it doesn't matter you know they they double team Terrell teeth you'll put that great great receivers make big plays and they put up big numbers so. I pick Brandon Marshall put up big numbers what I do like about this scenario though is. At least as of last week other teams have to look at the team and say we have to get to Eddie Royal seriously. We can't just say let's stop everything -- Brandon Marshall because we noticed he can't be separate let him do so. Everybody does more than anything makes teams play them legitimately make the play honest. They have to account for him they have to account for -- they have to count of grand Marshal. And that just spreads things -- a little bit more to me that helps Brandon Marshall it helps out with and dealt any rules so I think it was going to be good player I still don't. Necessarily buy into the fact that the rookies going to have a great year that didn't happen very often I think we really good back and it's -- restart. The last one was and fumbled it who -- buck wild when nobody expected to his first season. But he wasn't doing it on a team where he had a great receiver on the opposite side. And that's -- it's going to be a little more difficult we're able to be consistent performer but I do think he's going to make some plays here and I think he won't warrant being on your roster. This different question as to whether he's going to prove to be a guy you want to keep active every week."

" Allen and -- being on the roster I mean I'm not talking he's number one party's number two. Find out -- and when the Broncos play the Raiders again."

" And he can beat up on who that god they I mean on the -- act if he's in the -- routes and that's not used to but. Yet you Angelo hall who discount -- used. That he did they -- but he hit me even he would get used them and -- Dick. I feel horrible positive veteran rookie -- anyway he was abusing him even haven't touched. Guillen run and handles. Yeah -- on its creditors. And wrenched at what was so great about them and -- That's what. You know you can block out sometimes people buy in but if you watched him play as last year in Atlanta I think most people were very surprised he got the money -- in Oakland -- you can have a great last year in Atlanta. And allowed people in Atlanta lying in the game you Javon Walker exactly Tommy Kelly also want that was really surprising defense at all yeah I noticed Tommy Kelly brought a lot of a lot of teams had problems -- defensive tackle because they set the market with that price. I was so far overpaid for what he was but you know beyond that you look at that Oakland organization and can you expecting anything different players such disarray. And I don't know what's going to happen Oakland this Al Davis that they'll ever author of you've got a program on us. Talking about the got more talent at that I got another name for you Donovan McNabb put up 361 yards three touchdowns no interceptions. When Donovan McNabb is healthy. I think he is the truth when he. We -- the true I mean it through it means the truth means that he is a consistent fantasy performer he's the guy that. With Alston Dunn's going to be one of the top -- woman that is the yes -- truth is there's I don't see many quarterbacks being mean he's going to be -- and probably at the end of the year if he's healthy that's the big thing if he's -- Thursday we. Promise to be willing to bet. There was talk a full season how much are you willing to bet and now it's going to be helping people easily get a full season with the -- not a."

" I don't I wouldn't think a full season I think he'll be consistent usually for about the first ten weeks something more happen and helmets. The second half the season as the only Simpson ROB banged up."

" In other words. -- yourself with the attack on down now and I were I would like you got then yeah riding -- you got him but as soon as you can get a good back up. Get a good back up that you can probably -- if that's the case would you be willing to bet let's say we get about week six or seven down is doing well. He put their big numbers would you be willing to take a gamble in trading him forced some good value. Knowing that the chances of him being hurt later in the season if history holds true is pretty good."

" I think -- gambling that way if you stick with them then you better have a good back -- quarterback and then it that if you move on. And he gave it value get a good quarterback -- that night and get a better you know wide receiver and running back if you compare up those the kind of move yourself. It's like it's a gamble but with him history shows. He is not consistently. All the player right. When he's healthy he's consistently good but when he's not healthy that's the problem -- instances these -- I'll say truth he's the truth and I say truth -- to get --"

" Article with what's another with Michael the burner turner -- 220 yards on 22 theories to touchdowns. What do you think the truth when he won only one really. While. He did play in Detroit. They played the Lions dude -- tonight I might -- mean at Jerious Norwood had a big game too. They they can't stop the run Matt Ryan had played well yeah that's not going to happen against most teams."

" At 260 yard plays than like the first three drives up and it just tells you there's a lot of holes -- that to trade -- and I do you think turner will get the bulk of the carries -- do you think they'll try to run a lot more to keep the pressure off Matt Bryant. So I mean and I think 220 games but I think you're going to see him. You know at least eighty yards a game. And they'll they'll run -- on the give them twenty touches a game I mean I'm not -- in the fantastic I think he's going to be a decent you know you know he ran back because he'll get the touches because they don't want that aren't on the ball a lot malice. Even last week they got had maybe chances to maybe see Ryan a little bit more -- the you don't want him in it and they want him learn the game."

" Yet regardless of who they're playing the fact of the matter is the gap at 220 yards on 22 cares that great and I would say just from that standpoint he's the truth now here's the other thing you gotta look at this is not a rookie running back Watson is the guy that. Was it has been in the league for several years I think it's his his fifth year on and has had. Pretty. Pretty nice Korey -- in San Diego in relief of LaDainian Tomlinson during games as well as when Tomlinson goes down so. I don't know that this is a situation where we don't have enough background on and to say that this is a mirage. I think we've seen enough to know that with him putting up this kind of production and it certainly gets bad and he did -- he can go huge against good defenses. Like you say he's going to get opportunities and opportunities in this league. Typically for a good running back translates into a pretty average today so let's face averaging you know nine yards a game. And a touchdown. That -- and I'll take exactly so my point is. From that standpoint I think he's the truth I'll take a guy like turner and I think at this point -- to -- he started every week. Until you see a pattern where he's not producing consistently. I started every week if he would do as he put up great numbers last week and that's not something that even even get the bad because that's that's something that he's yet -- degree."

" Not just about Michael -- and about that offensive line and and the passing game keeping teams from -- in the box him. And can Atlanta do that -- consistent basis I really I really doubt well I'll throw this the Minnesota last year. Adrian Peterson and he certainly had eaten in the box sometimes nine he'll tell -- Bryant McKinney and Steve Hutchinson to block always honest."

" saying is we don't know what this offensive line Atlanta's going to end of the we have projections that we got that he was going to be horrible if you look horrible last week we got dutrow would be a little bit better they -- horrible so all saying he is right now I think to make. -- judgment as to what. An offensive line -- gonna be a what a team's going to be we're taking a chance there I think right now you go what you see. And that's another part about the beginning your goal what you see if you see something that looks good ride that until it looks bad because. We all of all the prognosticators could be wrong everybody's destiny when it comes it to figuring out what you think your team's going to deal which you think players."

" Well I think I'm -- definitely -- Matt Bryant. For Mara and has an -- downfield and I think they have to burners on hand -- anyway and pointing and and so they even if they're gonna move this if he's I think you have good enough for wide receivers get open on the field. And that will keep that he -- a little bit on -- that mind I mean. I think you're going to see you know. They're going to try to push those receivers and as Detroit brought those guys in. He saw Roddy White went down for fifty yards and wide open so I mean they're gonna put they're going to happen once they do that they're going to put."

" And I think that's the point he if you look at this and you say maybe reason and Michael Turner and got 1220 yards last week because on the first series. They went deep on because they were you know back and -- instinct yeah and after that between it plain honest and and they had to play him honest guess what that entire turns it on so you know let's let's the other thing plays out is it intrigues me it makes me think. Twice about on the preconceived -- I had about Atlanta and their personnel. And I started thinking maybe it there on the something we'll see how they do week -- week three. Not gonna jump to any conclusions but I certainly am intrigued enough to watch it -- and figure out what's going on as big. Figure messes finalist last year I'm not race says it turned it around because he had a new coach and too often. Looked as though they just got to prove to me at least for a few more weeks I'm with. Hi this is another name Reggie Bush. We all talked about -- really everybody around the NFL talk about how last year he was off his game -- throughout last week he was a guy that I would start with caution. Because my thought was even though he's had some. Some bad press about it his numbers look at least in part point we're not bad last year. It egos in this week he puts up fourteen that's fourteen carries for 51 yards very very very average. But then here's the kicker eight catches 112 yards. And one tie down what are your thoughts on Reggie Bush one week wonder what the -- Sad to say because I didn't keep them men in the league that I. Public attention to the most I think he's the truth -- it and in the game at all Reggie Bush is featured back now the Reggie Bush."

" Well I am. Thomas who's the one and the ball back though I mean I think he used them in the count ourselves and dutifully went supposedly this we can get in here is still out of that album yeah. Am but I think well here's another big key in -- and I'm forced six yup -- so I mean. What are they going to do against without -- little bit more I think you're going to probably still he has catches -- around eight I was in the big Reggie Bush and gone into the the season and an extra familiarly and I gave them. You know some some crap for that. You know right now -- and -- panic and helped propel him to win in week one and and right now I'm going to have to go with you know if they're going to use -- that way anyone on this then he's going to be. You know -- able player his health is always just concerned too because it's that much smaller and has never -- and take it."

" Here's another thing opera he did that last week against Tampa bay Tampa bay as a -- and that's pretty good number one and number two has. There one of those teams that get players who kind of tricked up what I mean by that are. Players they have these exotic deals that other teams sometimes have a problem containing Tampa usually doesn't have those problems because they have good personally experienced personnel and they usually can stop those -- players. He got did that against Tampa bay. This week he goes at Washington we. In believing anything I think everybody. Kind of believe what Washington did in New York is not arise that may be exactly what they are defensively stopping right now for the short term -- Reggie Bush is the truth. And I'll stick -- yeah and yet pretty good numbers last year has a great week one I think you write down what -- balls now. Can make the Redskins looked like president's state I think so I think it's going to be that -- for the Redskins even at home their home opener. Going to be tough one I tell you what we're going to jump it to some guys some questions we got email and phone -- you guys want you know if you can email radio too. At art AD I over number two at Dallas Cowboys got net. If you want to call you call 18888. Spot by 2297. In 1888. 855. 2297. Remember in your email me QDQ specify. What type of league you're from the standpoint of the viewpoint prepare that's really the big thing. You can just let us know that and we can also help you again when you're talking about receivers in the -- star receivers versus running backs or different types of receivers let's go first of -- got a call from Maria and forward corporate."

" Take -- I want to get -- guys are. Oh Christian and drafted him in there with -- let's take."

" And I was in pretty impressed what they did against Jacksonville and nagging Little League that the player pretty -- Internet it's demanding."

" And nothing about it that's starting this week what would it take and it. -- Well men -- let a starter and and I had. Felix Joe's given and Kevin yeah."

" And yet that you want to start to running back. Yeah I think that's to get to -- pick out -- some of his numbers just those were familiar Chris Johnson last week in Jacksonville those fifteen. Carries for 93 yards -- the six point two. Yards per cent average which is very very good going to top that he throws in three catches for 34 yards again averaging over ten yards per catch. And receiving tight now so. Great numbers last week the question is easy going to be able to get enough carries to sustain it and well -- it ghastly thing."

" Well I mean he's split carries right down the middle fifteen carries through that when they analyze. And apparently he's dale and dale. How much that it. -- that -- into -- anyway them -- split carries and everywhere is reading that's what was going to happen but Fisher said they like to get the bomb this kid's hand. He's fast. He has good hands and that's what it translated into now. You miss and Vince Young so I don't know how the dynamics of the team changed Collins is a pocket passer welcome back and then. How much is he worked with this first string offense and his his his favorite targets -- yet to be seen so. I think against the different look this week but I think they're still going to try to get the ball on their playmaker."

" Well here's the other thing I think we should provide you did mention that he had Kevin Smith as well and Kevin Smith last week against it Atlanta. He goes to the net since 48 yards. I'm not a great average but he did get a rushing touchdown. He can also got forced after the 32 yard the one caveat -- to throw in is that they were down 21 nothing in the first quarter so of course they had to abandon the run to some degree. Kevin Smith is going to do you think more opportunity if he's not really splitting as much. He's he's county in Maryland where he is their feature back -- With that being said I think that's something you have to consider playing nose to this week he goes against Green Bay you go Kevin Smith -- do you go we stick with that Chris Johnson."

" I don't know if Kevin Smith because you release that if you watch a game against Green Bay and Minnesota they did a pretty good job in -- and breaking -- hundred yards but it was a very quiet country artists. And yeah I I probably go Christian. I appreciate the call right. You agree that there there bigger question for me to I think Chris johnsons the picked us got a couple you know. Our we might be talking about them early season and thinking there aren't magical -- in Winnipeg wants though. Now the Brady Tom Brady's go for the season do you think -- smart move to drop Wes Welker and pick up this conduct another season is there really. But he do you think -- produce more -- points over the entire season I'm going to stay this. I have didn't -- Welker. But it was in the league where I have some really good receivers one of which is Brandon Marshall Vlad and I want it I -- making him back this week. But I'll have Dwayne Bowe who played quite well last week even though his quarterbacks out last year -- matter which quarterback with the and he pretty much and it played well with both. Project even a second touchdown last week so I'm riding Dwayne Bowe and I think that there are guys ahead of what is. You remember off off the -- my head but it was another guy who had. Just as much talent as Wes Welker and it was just a situation where I felt like. For right now I'd rather wait and see the -- I do think well there's still going to be just fine in Miami at last season before he went to New England. He was I think he he was up there as as. As putting up you know some pretty good and number of -- now the yards were -- questionable but he put up that you still catching a lot of balls. -- being their third receiver. And and -- being the second receiver here I think back -- could still get you know -- to get used to Wes Welker every game. I don't know what it's worth trading. I do think it's a good idea maybe -- have other options. To be intimate with somebody else and it's -- how they can use and how -- and you guys got -- like a -- want trade and he he lost in a featured drop Welker to pick up -- projects as a -- doesn't have a worse receiver than Wes -- he can drop out with that in the same category of trading the I'm -- like getting really I don't get rid of Wes -- right now -- too much unknown. I mean castle last week's field at the bottom -- pretty well -- counts so you know if he starts -- these guys are practicing at welcome becomes his go to guy and he's -- you know by got to dump it off that's why I'm getting it. Point gets league that's great Wes Welker and you may end up being even better because. You know Tom Brady spread the ball a lot probably going deeper in his first two maybe three reads which means there may be more catches involved here well whereas opposed the war. Gaffney takes some of those catches you know -- I think this might actually end up being the better thing for Welker but. You can't ditch him is the point I'm making right now just and to see how counsel's going to work out that."

" It it is a wait and see you -- meaning cut three passes from. Also he he's still throwing to him. I'm maybe not as much as Brady did because Brady threw three innings from imminent and I know like completed three through five -- my ethnic. So I mean he looked toward Booker but right now I mean hasn't worked -- well grandma and -- now is going to have a full week where he's going to work with these guys. Learn the way they're running routes -- probably going to be as safe now moth is going to be the guy that you know if if he's open he's he's going to go ahead and hit some big target. -- I I would wait and see but to drop him for a one week. Rookie performance against the Rams. Awesome -- still in play and programs that."

" And it's also remember this when you're talking about John Jackson we talked about this earlier in the week he's based. Yeah much better a group of a quarterback this week it and remember this -- always. -- seven -- these what do listing -- I mean he's quarterback you know opinions based. And GM and at the last game that look within even getting downfield and whose -- he's not a guy is going to necessarily be depressed. And that's the first thing you gotta do to be consistently good receiver in the NFL you -- the -- And I don't think you can beat the press consistently get these quarterbacks -- at least this week. Going against the Cowboys aren't big on Jackson's good pick this week guess because I don't think he'd be countless press and I agree with -- they were talking about Matt Cassel what do you think about what you think about the people who ran out of Cassell this week considering. The unit to receiving options he has put in a waiver claim automatic in getting that happen in a waiver -- women's cup -- and the reason I did it is mainly within the -- nothing about -- hold -- him see what happens I mean how many times have we seen in the NFL. A quarterback that nobody expected come onto the scene -- I'm not a rookie I'm talking about guys that veteran dead because of injury get this gets an opportunity start. In because he's got great guys around him is able to put up pretty good numbers and I'm proud of him time to time Tony room only crowd of Romo Kurt Warner was the -- and Warner -- first kind of -- I remember. With the year Kurt Warner first started. My wife was playing -- the year and you lost Vinny Testaverde in week one or two ridiculous pieces and in those he had QB Testaverde -- you know and and when he lost in disagreement out they. He's on Johnson's been a bit -- pounding on the podium because they lost to minimize it New York and while I cause she's -- got lost quarterback who should go get him well. When -- got -- right -- You know as maybe what shot programs that happens. He grad if you want to leave. It's that kind of thing where you're pro active enough in you've gotten when your roster. Get a hold onto when -- around start Cassell. Get a hold onto and see what happens over the next few weeks it could be -- him for you that you never were expecting he could end up putting up some great numbers. If they don't win he's not he'll put up great numbers -- he has welcome."

" And Cassel has been a guy that's always been behind the superstar quarterbacks and USC was behind that. On our homework first Indian got liner got overtaken by line and so basically he's never had a chance to take the -- but he has had good. You know quarterbacks to learn from and sit back and watch the game and have -- come -- meaning you know now is who has -- and under Tom Brady and we know that system there he may be able to come in and -- and as a waiver claim got to pick up a wing Theo yeah I would particularly when Clement."

" I heard people say he's probably the worst of their quarterbacks in the pre season yeah I hurt my -- that -- it. Again he wasn't he probably wasn't working with you know all the time working with the first team on the and he was in priorities I guess in practice he wasn't ready was hurt you know England's. I don't and -- say is that last week he managed to get a touchdown out of out of -- And ended up with a win -- and score a lot of points they weren't nearly as as you know. Great in office as they wrote Brady but for me if I'm asked based. It's great waiver claim that he just never know how to go blow up when he has the opportunity with those receivers to be able to be policy. -- definitely -- and Dickinson, North Dakota says. Who should I start he is Vincent Jackson against Denver and Devery Henderson against Washington remember that and as -- from -- Vincent Jackson playing Denver. Devery Henderson played Washington. I go Vincent Jackson easy I think Anderson is it eat at -- the agony -- production especially against Washington well. I don't care who they're playing Devery Henderson is a guy that. One week you'll have a huge get for -- the next week you had no catches and I just again not at this over and over I prefer consistency. Jackson going to get you foresee it is every week he presume and probably somewhere in the range you know 6867. Yards. And -- get into account I prefer consistency Jackson over the big time potential war by. Devery Henderson. "

" I -- could every here because they saw how wide open those wide receivers were running for the Giants in Paris I mean -- I was able lobbed ball on. I think Drew cannot throw better passed on the field. And get a ball Devery Henderson so if he is a big play -- I think you're going to -- big play this week. And even if he just has to catch as you know hundred yards -- teams is that line for filled out there's there's hand them. And it touched down at that they'll be a good game and Jackson's gone against the good secondary there my campaign entered the line."

" And you're -- yeah he. Let's see he is he is that to get there at -- will probably go on chambers is the wind -- you take chambers is the wind and Vincent Jackson is that to the Jackson has the ability make some big plays as well tall is 66. Much here he looked big on TV that's not always a good access often means ethnic though Allan Houston was that we. The week in between our the our final preceding game and the first regular season game my nephew's birthday party at bowling Alley. And withstand a bowl and whatever and turn around look in his Andre Johnson standing there ordering on the on the snack bar. And that my -- views -- nine teams -- Neitzel. And huge football fan he'll probably runs circles around most of us when it comes talking football player is he just he's so immersed in it. He seasoning goes well why don't think in my -- palace ominously that brought it up its first us novelist. -- he's big he -- on TV you know on TV you look at Andre Dawson look cute she looks like a really big wide receiver. But he's not bigger than TO I mean he's probably probably about two or three inches shorter. And -- if you you know you're into standard than than TO which he -- thinking about the same size so. It can be a little bit you know sometimes it can be a little bit weird. Trying to equate how did you think you guys just watch -- TV I don't think Vincent I -- bombed on TV Vincent Jackson looks kind of big but. How to relax just how -- in the numbers seeing the Cowboys in."

" and just about every day there's there's really only. Two or three guys who really are imposing and in their sides in -- Flozell is huge yeah. Well dateline let's hit that he -- are mean even Colombo and really he's tall but he doesn't. -- look that big around -- jaded built here around the team all Sosa used to being around the people could yeah locker room all the time. You put that guy in the middle of an average every day shopping mall. And as he walked into the mall everybody's looking like. We held he's that he -- four that I mean that's how big -- I mean. You might you be date so now the with a one the one that's the most approachable as Theo yeah. Respectful wide receiver he is a B yeah I was standing as standing like kind of at a corner behind him doing his interview yesterday just these these shoulder and back muscles and he has. Ripping through a teacher -- Them and that magnanimous and we go back you know yeah hey I want to point out that --"

" Henderson we were talking about his if khakis and this is what this is my problem -- Devery Henderson looking back -- 2007 numbers there was only be one to. 34. Games last season for the sixteen games last season but Devery Henderson registered more than one hit. Only game -- at one game we caught four passes to -- Avery caught three passes one game Morey caught two one on our two passes I think. When we're up four. To worry top 31. Very cut to every of the game he caught regardless. And that's what scares me about starting Devery Henderson even last week. He had one catches for 84 yards if you didn't get that one get -- It's feast or -- with this guy doesn't get that one or two catches and they are big plays -- what you gonna be. You're gonna have nothing from him and that's where I think you can get you can expect a little bit more consistency from Jackson. Jackson could have a big week or you can add the average week he has -- it's not very likely Jackson's going to put up that week where -- that we -- it."

" And I'll throw Vincent Jackson's numbers out from last week against Carolina goes three catches for 47 yards and a touchdown so that's that pretty good in ST week you're talking about what's."

" That in ninth thirteen points. And ten and ran it ten in non points -- catch and thirteen in -- Them Texans. Tickets let's go another question. I just until drove in Austin. The only with no points per catch yet Todd -- in question Todd heap against Houston or LJ Smith against the -- Todd -- or LT Smith."

" pad one cat and he fumbled it on me last week and and in the Ravens are going to be conservative that you know with Flacco there they're they're going to you know run the ball. Below conservative -- seems to -- has guy after I watch the game this -- and a thirty minute thing as the pain and he -- and now am addicted now dating many teams on he and few of the plays go on quick quick quick. But I was fortunate he didn't -- throw the ball a lot Todd -- and that concerns me for a guy that is. As good as time he'd been in the past now he did throw one pass which. I'm old Todd heap before it was -- had these great hands he through path it went right through it and so it's really concern me what's -- Todd heap so. And and then it's hard matchup that oh it's -- against in talents now."

" Is it that because that's that they who's going to matchup on him is the question are -- going to have Roy out there enough wind to where you know against Roy how he makes a lot of tight ends with pretty good but. You know it or they will they be trying it was something similar to what they did against -- where. They decide they're going to put quarterback and LJ Smith in -- Containing like that the one thing I will stay here is LJ Smith for those you've been watching -- for several years. You know that there was a time back maybe -- years ago I think it was I don't know if there's a Mitt was doing big things of building and room it was it was at a point. To some degree where McNabb was relying on him as is go to guy in the passing game and it was really kind of that threesome that they were using between McNabb Westbrook. LJ Smith in the passing game and every once nobody go to those receivers on the outside again back in the days -- stinks and it's those other guys but. You know but I think it into the day. LJ Smith could resume that that placed on this team because again they are challenged at the wide receiver position. He caught five balls last week in the -- still great production in appointment get a lead with 39 yards. If -- got -- out so if I'm picking this week I don't care -- the Cowboys whoever else I still think LT Smith is a good fancy pick especially about the -- he. Who has been anything but consistent or really performed at a high level."

" Now rather go and Otis Smith in the case because I saw -- And the way the use them on Sunday and it wasn't very effective and he just doesn't -- was at least when who has put them -- numbers speakers and a."

" Rounded out there Zaria I was just about -- had to think about tight -- He's the guy actually -- I didn't get to -- you know one week wonder or or. Or the truth. And I looked at him on one a mile in one -- these idea gliding gate and then again I went out and got a mainly because my starting tight -- Is. It's Kellen Winslow -- wind is going to be starting but to me. To have resign on the bit and just he what he does again that's where I'm looking to fill in right now -- guys -- this point to have big weeks. That you kind of want to see more -- but at least got a when your -- you see how it goes and he turned out to be a real player. Then I have to make a decision as to what I want to keep him or Winslow and try to get value for the other with. What do you guys think about him -- who goes will be just that the rise that just those that. Noticed -- seven catches for 96 yards and a touchdown he was clearly the go to guy for Jake -- in the -- the Smith. I don't think I can say truth over -- only wanted to because before you know Monday when I saw the stats I'd never heard of them so. It's -- classified let me throw this out -- a second -- gasoline and in the league long -- this could be situation -- kind of coming into his own. He came out of -- in the fifth round draft choice. Of the Carolina Panthers so again a guy that in the fifth round we're tied handicap and talent certainly to be a fifth round pick at tight end and and the fact that. Glad you made a couple isolated place and that the other thing -- kind of makes me think okay and I don't want to keep an eye out if you had a season as a rookie. Where every once in awhile he jumped up all the stats he'd made -- play. Dean you kind of think okay well this year they may be using him more. He made talented. And so I'll take a flyer on him hold onto him he would happen."

" all the writers here comes that there last year it looked like he played the last five games. Of the season. And I had one catcher 54 yards on had had a couple touchdowns his average at her. Yardage was eighteen yard -- they use them down on the field. Which is an interesting thing because they use them again on the field. Dynamo open. So he's team showed some potential last year and and they've given a shot this year so he would be one of those guys and I would hate. Canton if you had a rosters I wouldn't clear somebody like Wes Welker to go around and by. If you had a roster spot warrior with a guy hit him. So's though I would go out and it and I am I I I turned putter claimant for him and and that in -- balance but I think growth in time."

" Outlet. -- it took Antonio gate one year and he broke out of here so I think really to win -- two million pretty good rookie season -- that's a good year for tight -- side."

" And Clinton are both opponents on there that great that they both flew out the man I -- as a guy you definitely want to hold it even happens again that propensity here is that the quarterback Jake DelHomme wasn't there last year. Because he was our if he is showing a a penchant for finding Lazare which -- you mean he liked it to go to one. Even with Steve Smith comes back. The beauty of the situation is that he's -- going to get his get. But this is open things up for -- and that's you've got. It was Dario becomes a very reliable target guys that want to -- but the Cowboys have with Owens and Witten. If you can create that with a really great receiver and a -- and that's reliable and -- In reliable -- the scene that they can create some problems for deep into snapping to quarterback Bible there and make sure they both have great numbers I'm in the season. I think there's Dario isn't really nice -- pick up right now don't got engaged yet hold onto and let's see what happens. Actually from England look at that. -- like Houston is he says that amount last year with -- Like Carolina and country and their planes Carolina's -- Galarraga who inherited in the pre season. On that muscle that he'd been more than deepens. But anyway they they played really well so yeah outs that you probably keepers are on the bench this week and don't start him over a guy can act that he thought going to be better. If you've got a guy you're struggling at tight in the that you. Got a guy -- Italian -- in them you know later rounds of the draft and you just going to throw somebody out there you have an opportunity it was Dario. The United you may be worth star but don't want to hear main guys that -- in just put -- are aliens because this might be the best match. If -- so there nearly I think you can get Jake DelHomme. Yeah. I don't think -- hit mean I don't know to me leagues where he would still be available and I got him late in one of my drafts. But I think we've -- got in ways that everybody tends to forget about the guys that -- hurt the year before yeah and and so we kind of felt anybody. The long and he's healthy he's a very steady guy he's not going to doubt -- every week with huge numbers. But he's going to be very very consistent with the very consistent thing about the 300 -- game."

" I think about DelHomme though is is he's an excellent third quarterback to ever have rotator cuff surgery which is really big deal for. Baseball pitchers than the other two before and had -- no one was Rob Johnson the other one didn't come back a very successfully either but. After 1 he looks like he might be the first. I got -- All right. Might Graham Laurel, Maryland says he's at a point -- league who should start David Patten are moves in -- Gave it an easy -- this week in the absence of Marcus Colston I think Patten is the go to guy there. Outside of -- to lob the ball with a -- bush it is more ball but I think -- the righty -- position I think parents the go to -- I would yes."

" Minimum mom and -- and gave him honestly can mean Milan Italy and keep it safe and our athletics a very significant exit that's that's eleven points and -- bad though. I mean. The one thing you do know about the home is he likes mom and he's he's played them before this is the guy goes to Steve Smith is still out another team. So you're still looking them Mohammed being the number one wide receiver. And so."

" Is either number the number one -- I'm not sure that hello Steve Smith out misty yeah Drew Carter how I guess I was thinking I've looked at they did get our racket for the season and a -- Hackett was the number one guy in -- Steve Smith but I could be I know he was starting opposite Steve Smith. Mohammed was actually on the depth chart just below the -- I guess that moves him up to that spot. I guess the Dallas thinking about it -- with Hackett still -- the number one guy because he's a starter opposite Smith and mommy comes in second -- actually write a quarterback it has hit -- with a wide receivers always a good thing."

" And I and mean if you're looking for someone that's going to go out there and he'll get catchers who can. And whether it turns that into a touchdown or attended and -- 7080 yards but I think you'll see. 1110 points from them. Mohammed Patten you'll probably see about the same thing there there really equal area but they're go that he got to look at the defense right now and they and hadn't gone against Washington's Stevenson. --"

" Hey I think I know how much we all like cut Washington's the present -- against -- right I think it'd take Mohammed does it matter feel any unit he's. -- play against the Bears and he probably knows this cornerback little better and he is 65 results we should have a pretty good grasp of the passing game just like you say that he knows quarterbacks that are they know him better and better and that's and that concerns me even more because Chicago letting go. That suggests to -- Chicago count but we're not going to get kind of production in that we really need and so we we do better. Letting him go they know what his weaknesses are they -- signed him back right."

" Well -- but he will turn it on I mean I I think he's going to be up for the game and really want to show that. They made a mistake and the as a quarterback that he has a trust relationship with -- you know develop that in the past I think you'll see a good game from Mohammed patent. He may be last in the mix between Reggie good Shockey. You know -- spreading the ball around trying to get whoever's open and the and even that Devery Henderson maybe eighty career touchdown. I'm I think Mohammed the safer pick and that is going to see a lot of target this way Patten may turn -- some of the targets for points but I would go -- on this on."

" I'll throw this out the end of the game -- and the things Patten -- patent it is under the radar -- you because he wasn't the main guy in the world but. In gain week six against Seattle he -- he hit 413 yards. We -- against Sampras is legal but it 409 yards we nine against Jacksonville goes for it before it took four catches for 81 yards. And a touchdown. In week -- that we. 14. Huge nine -- 222. Yards and tell him again we fifteen for -- 71 yards and a touchdown. -- get 55 yards in week 164 -- 39 yards and seventeen to -- I'm making is even last year David Patten with putting that in some really great numbers. For about half the year and that -- him being data was down on the depth chart now he's number one you presume -- I think as part adept are concerned. He's going to be starting opposite Devery Henderson. Guys are hurt that talked about on Devery Henderson and now he's banner -- I think that go to guy for this off it's outside Shockey and bush. At the wide receiver position I think state and that's why I think it depends it starts with. He probably could start you can you can go either way there hammered -- Mohammed they've got Pro Bowl on New Orleans in. No doubt I was going grab. -- hopefully William how is -- West Virginia played cricket league. Owen Daniels or Robert Royal Buffalo also he wants and -- cowboys' defense or the Jaguars. I'm sticking with Cowboys D instance because that at the beginning yes that they beat the top he -- and running with that. I still think they're going to be really good I think this week if you look at what beat you last year. Cowboys put up at least three sacks he began to play against Philadelphia meeting at four fumbles. Fumble recoveries Wallace and interceptions. I think this is he'll be inactive for the countless deep into even when they give us some points like the game with seventeen points that you obtain any other game. You still and -- point from the sacks and interceptions and -- forced fumbles. Because as much as who throws the ball -- bounds makes mistakes in the air and the count was even forced of those mistakes as well but he --"

" I and I -- going back to the tight end situation. It goes driver road race here can't wear it seems to develop the report with an active week in the species and it game -- to catch twenty yards and -- Doesn't mean that they use them on the goal line situation it and course running with -- On Trent Edwards has relied heavily on -- on those guys that I think we'll have a good week here who was the other thing."

" If the enemy throughout his numbers last week yet 656 catches fifty yards and it turns -- had really great production appointment next week. And get on was Owen Daniels route that you Houston -- they're playing."

" Baltimore ultimate linebackers. I would say down. Now just just to see how. Altman and lastly and they have a pretty good -- and stout against Iran did linebackers I mean they're always give to their defense I wouldn't. I would go with. On this one Rico --"

" I would to an end mainly because Owen Daniels has been either I mean last week he really do much against Pittsburgh three catches for 33 yards wasn't so impressed with that whole he's -- Might even -- I just kind of hate the Texans but I mean it's it's. It's just one thing I was not impressed at all I don't think until. Match jocular and eighty's more than in what he was in Atlanta which is a backup quarterback everybody gave them a lot of low coming out there thinking it's going to be the next got a cannon. You know move from being a backup and once CD to being daughter and a good starter another he still has not proven he still has not shown that. And and -- until last year I wasn't impressed when account with later in the pre season and though it's pre season but I was not impressed at all so. I actually think he's back immediately better I think Sage Rosenfels that the guys and hydrated so yes I I still I'm still not convinced that match jobs that great and because of that. I think it's a better -- to go away from owns from a one game this week especially if you have another option like Robert we'll."

" I agree Robert Royal and and who's next in the plan -- by Buffalo in well. Even though I must say Robert Royal and -- but we're talking about Jacksonville's. I tell -- probably start the statement -- and Edwards I really don't believe he's had some and it gains would object to. Him that we played Tennessee Saturday -- can't. That is there it's terrible it's Johnson problems. I mean I don't I don't consider -- I don't better than you thought well -- and they scored seventeen points and a little weak I don't out of the city Tennessee's offense to be. Great you -- so man I don't consider I consider Buffalo's office probably the just about -- bad yeah I do a little bit better but."

" He'll be better and are great I think that's the strength of that Buffalo team in my opinion. Is deep into special teams that's -- really special teams they may have a best best teams in the league spent the once they put on last week but -- and that's with street this team. Art let's grab a couple blacks who projects -- one more email may be -- who got Brian hall of Fort Worth putting guys think about Laveranues. He's actually right now as an injury report that the first thing I think but. I think it's pretty clear after last week I -- pretty clear but. My first inclination after watching the game last week is stepping Jericho Cotchery is going to be the go to guy. Byrd four Brett -- I think COLT gets can't say that think anytime you gotta receivers -- he's going to -- catches but how did you get as many of the plays."

" I've heard -- complain and hasn't developed that relationship and cornerback are your relationship with our. And in a little half outspoken about the Favre situation well."

" a big -- he's a good friend Chad Pennington they're very from what I understand it very close and he was not very happy with that yet decided they no longer wanted to services that they thought they need to bring in somebody else. But I did hear Brett say at. When they first when he first got nor -- they topical. And told him reasserting and I am not high enough and you liked. In Baghdad I'm not trying to replace him since coming argument out hope we can have a good relationship been in worse he stated seemed receptive that would -- you can -- you know he's the quarterback -- York. Your career. The only he's that is indeed the ball so you know we'll see out all plays out I don't know if that's so much. The reason why I think the numbers will be used as much about the Rockies this -- you will break your doctor. He's about at that point -- real receivers can really take off and the history of what we team -- and he's a good receiver you combine now that great quarterback. And Brett Favre how many times you -- young receivers look great I mean Greg Jennings last year as well tell him. Brett Favre made him look absolutely great last year so I think it may be thinking got you here and called me into being very similar to stop now drop good. Not necessarily great."

" Reform -- and young receivers -- they make prep partly credit. But that throw up he had a chance he stuckey last week in Chelsea that is as about them lucky guess they're that at the back to our economy and -- get lucky but at some point you gotta stop saying it's luck and you gotta say there's something about. What do you season and how he gets the ball to them. As the little more than -- because it happens all the time in the Capital One time and all the other times and ended up back -- ethnic he's a lot with. He does does the law when you discounting on the net -- and I was I don't know it was a really good throw he made it bounce all over Antonio Freeman's leg and foot in the thank its lucky sometimes you win that we do this one really quick Brian Elmer in Minneapolis. He's you know this couple times for summary I really think he's struggling with -- booty start Patrick Craig or any loss. Those guys stick with Moss is in what we start the -- with those appropriate that we Indy. Randy Moss is the guy you drafted in the first maybe second round. Stick with that guy until he proves he's not going to be he -- athlete -- hundred yards receiving yet and I -- with him until he sees them and if he says it enough you can -- but if -- what are you -- do you go to -- so good that the best thing. If you can hope for as a quarterback who has been coming in start is that you've got a Pro Bowl caliber wide receiver on your team you can just stay as he would say yes oh. And you just know they'll get out of -- exactly those yes -- letting go get an acting that's going to be. The advance -- Lackey in Moscow and who knows."

" Do would -- and then I think that just goes back to the point these guys that you drafted with your high picks. He got given the chance they get pats this week one and perform I mean Randy Moss was pounded disappointment last week Shanahan at sixteen yards. You know and a touchdown he was -- wide receiver armament team I mean."

" Our guys we appreciate you joining us will be back with you actually will be on Monday although the game will be Monday night we're going to be on Monday -- breakout game what happens -- you -- game tell -- he matches and it could be taking place on Monday night and Monday -- Cowboys take on. They'll they'll -- and at Texas Stadium for the beginning of the final season. Fourth Texas Stadium so that's exciting night we appreciate you guys joining us today from here meaningless to Josh Ellis all the guys that -- run the Dallas Clark in -- that we appreciate you joining us here people that's been the most for a lot. Dallas Cowboys -- found."
