00:00Okay, so was it the best game of the day you think in the morning, Vinny? It may have been. Colts win 31-25 over the Atlanta Falcons. Really exciting game. Jonathan Taylor has basically now cemented himself as the number one running back in the league and in fantasy as well. He moved ahead of Christian McCaffrey again this past week.
00:2032 rushes, 244 yards, three touchdowns, and also caught three balls for 42 yards as well. But meanwhile, Atlanta stayed in this game throughout, Vinny. They had a real shot to win this game, too. So I guess the Colts are feeling a little bit better about this. But as you saw with Daniel Jones struggling a little bit again, boy, they're going to have to lean on Taylor, it feels like, down the stretch.
00:43Yeah, I think there's a few teams that operate based on how their running game operates. I think Detroit is one of them. If you shut down the run, you're going to beat Detroit. If you shut down Jonathan Taylor, you're going to beat the Colts. You go on and on. I think you do that with the Rams. You have a shot to beat them. And then the Bills. Of course, you shut down James Cook, you're going to usually beat the Bills. So that's what it comes down to. Look, that's what part of being a quarterback is, playing off a good running back, throwing downfield, play action, and all that.
01:13You're not going to get it done without that. So when I look at Jonathan Taylor, look, should he be an MVP candidate? Yeah. But is it a quarterback award at this point? Yeah. But if the quarterbacks are all kind of muddled up here between Patrick Mahomes and Drake May and now Matthew Stafford, whoever you want to throw into the mix, then you have Taylor as a great chance to win it because really, who's been more valuable to his team?
01:34I mean, he's had a lot of games where he just carried that Colts offense and set things up for Daniel Jones. He's the reason Daniel Jones is looking a lot better than he was in New York just last year.
