00:00Let's start with Shador Sanders. I think a lot of people are going to jump on this bandwagon.

00:05154.5 passing yards is the number. I'd like to get your thoughts on if this is over or under,

00:12and if you can give me a quick little feeling on Shador now being under center.

00:18Yeah, look, Shador is far from perfect. He does get rid of the football rather quickly. That's

00:23good. He is going to be at home. He just won his first start on the road last week against

00:27the Las Vegas Raiders. Again, not, you know, a lot to get excited about, but a win is a win,

00:33right? And, you know, Kelly finally fired too. I didn't realize this when Chip Kelly got fired,

00:37that he was the highest paid offensive coordinator. Talk about stealing money for the first half of

00:42the season. Oh my God, what a horrendous job by Chip Kelly on that first, you know, what,

00:4813 weeks of the season. But with Shador here, I just think this number is a little too low,

00:52especially when you factor in the San Francisco 49ers and what they haven't been able to do

00:56lately, which is stop anybody in the passing game. They've had a lot of injuries on the defensive

01:00side of the football. And I'm looking at this one. I got to be honest with you. I really love the

01:04Cleveland Browns to cover this five and a half. That defense plays really well at home. I think

01:09you can get to the 180 range, maybe even scratch 200 today. Now things will still run that football,

01:14but here's the thing you started to see a little bit too, which is, you know, some of those dump

01:17off passes to Dylan Sampson, guys like that who are explosive. You know, those guys are gonna have the

01:21yards after catch guys like Isaiah bond, like, you know, Jerry, Judy, you've also got Cedric Tillman,

01:27you know, back healthy these last couple of weeks too. So he's got a full compliment of weapons here

01:30and he's got more time with the ones got more practice time. It's a home game here over the

01:35holiday weekend. I think this crowd's going to be hyped up for this game, right? First home start

01:39for Shador coming off a victory. I think the 49ers in that spot, and I'm old enough to remember a couple

01:44years ago where Brock Purdy had everybody kind of get hurt around him. And this game deteriorated and the

01:50Cleveland Browns beat the 49ers a couple years ago in Cleveland. And I think that memory is still

01:56there for Brock Purdy. And I'm just saying, I think Cleveland can cover this game. And I think

02:00Shador can go over this number. And I think it's an excitement, not only for the team, but also for

02:05the league as well. It might bring some casual eyes and that's always a good thing. All right. From

02:11quarterback, we moved to receiver and over under for JSN, Jackson Smith and Jigba, 90 and a half

02:16receiving yards. You know, last week we were talking about the offensive player of the year,

02:20award. And while Jonathan Taylor, it's his to lose the next name on the list, he's having an

02:25incredible season is JSN. So 90 and a half receiving yards over or under today. And why Joe?

02:31Look, this is a high number. So I know it's going to make people unsettled. I'm going over it

02:36regardless. And the reason I'm going over it, he's gone over this number every single week since week

02:42five, with one exception in week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. And if you recall that game against

02:48the Arizona Cardinals got way out of whack real quick. So here's the situation here. You have him

02:53playing the Minnesota Vikings today, right? The Minnesota Vikings are in a really difficult spot

02:58here where they just don't have anything and, and they give up big plays. I think they're just done.

03:04I think it's over. I think they've thrown in the towel here. JJ McCarthy is not going to play using

03:08concussion protocol. You're going to get Max Brosmer playing today, starting quarterback, the third string

03:13rookie quarterback playing against the Seattle defense. This is going to be a bad situation.

03:17So a lot of people will say, Oh, well, maybe you don't need to push it. Sam Darnold was a Minnesota

03:22Viking last year. I think he's going to push it. I think he's going to remind everybody, Hey, you know,

03:27I did a really good job for this team and you guys didn't want me. And I'm going to remind you why you

03:31didn't want me. Sometimes it's personal, right? Joe Burrow Thursday night was a little personal.

03:35I'm going to come back and stick it to the Ravens because I can. And I think Sam Darnold is in a

03:40position to do the same. Now, look, to be fair in, in perfect letter, Kenny fashion, to be fair,

03:45I will say that, you know, Sam Darnold did kind of fall apart last year for the Vikings,

03:49but Sam Darnold also got them to the playoffs. So whatever that evaluation system was,

03:54it didn't work out. Sam Darnold's having a good season and Jason's having a fantastic one.

03:58I mean, he is a hundred yards almost every single week. He is pushing to break records this year.

04:03So I'm going to go over, despite the fact that it's a very high number,

04:06that secondary for Minnesota has been terrible. They give up big plays. So I'm going to go

04:10over for JSN to he gets all the targets in that offense.
