00:00at the Seattle. Seattle's an interesting one this year. Great win last week against the Pittsburgh

00:04Steelers on the road after a tough loss at home against the San Francisco 49ers. They're heavily

00:08favored against the New Orleans Saints. We should get some points in this game, but again, 41.5 is

00:12the total this game. Let's call it 7.5 as a favorite. Before the season started, I looked

00:17at Jackson Smith and Jigman. I think I sent a tweet out that was like, wait a second, 750 yards

00:21is his total for a guy that went over 1,000 last year. Now it's the guy like, oh, we don't know

00:25Sam Darnold's going to do. He's been fantastic to start the season. No surprise for your

00:30boy DRS. How are you playing Jackson Smith and Jigman this week versus New Orleans?

00:35You keep it simple. You know, I did consider touchdown odds were down at plus 115. I don't

00:39love that number, but he's yet to score this year, so I can understand going there, but

00:43over 73.5 yards. I mean, he has a 44% target share. It's not the highest on the Seahawks.

00:49That's the highest in the entire NFL. There's no one on the Seahawks that could or should

00:55conceivably take targets away from him. Cooper Cup's there. Cooper Cup's a shell of his former

01:00self. Let's just call it what it is. He'll get a few targets every game, but when you have

01:03JSN that can realistically bring in 13, 11 targets per game, most of them have a high

01:098.0 over 10 yards. We're not talking about, oh, he needs 15 catches to get here. He can

01:14get this done in five catches. He is the guy on offense. Zach Charbonnet has been limited

01:19all week, so the ground game may not be as efficient, and we just saw Mac Jones throw

01:25for 279 against the Saints defense. I think we'd all agree Sam Darnold may not be the best

01:30quarterback, but he's better than Mac Jones.
