00:00So let's start with the familiar name.

00:02We've said that Roma Doomsday will be out.

00:03So where does that lead us?

00:05Where does that lead you?

00:07Well, it's going to lead us again to Luther Burton.

00:09So I just rolled out for you some of the target volume he's been getting.

00:13The matchup is solid enough.

00:15Again, Cleveland defensively, well, last week, not great.

00:18But at home, all year has been much better than on the road.

00:21So we'll see here what Shador Sanders can do.

00:24And look, I want Shador Sanders to perform offensively as well

00:26because that will push the Chicago Bears offense.

00:29What you want is Shador to play well in this game

00:32if you have shares of Swift, of Mononga, of Caleb Williams, of Luther Burton, right?

00:37Because you want there to be some scoring.

00:39What you don't want is a 16-13 slugfest in December,

00:42which could be what we get, but I don't really want that to happen.

00:46So let's hope that we can build on what we saw last week from Shador Sanders

00:49and he can give us a little bit more offense,

00:51get this total into the mid to high 40s.

00:54And if they can do that together, that's a good thing.

00:56And look, the Bears are coming off a tough loss.

00:57Caleb Williams has to be better.

00:59You know, that play design in that last play

01:01where he threw that pick in the end zone was perfect.

01:05Cole Komet released.

01:06Cole Komet was open.

01:08If he turns and he has a two-step and throw,

01:11he hits Cole Komet and that's a touchdown.

01:13That's easy touchdown.

01:15And then what Caleb Williams does and what Caleb Williams always does,

01:18which is he runs another six yards, takes another six steps,

01:21and it gives the corner time to close.

01:23It takes the angle, it takes it away.

01:25And next thing you know, that play's not there anymore.

01:26And instead of pivoting, you know, he just locks in because he knows Cole Komet is that one look there.

01:32There's another guy, DJ Moore, underneath who's open, but he never even sees him.

01:36So this is that stuff.

01:38This is that inner working as a quarterback that I continue to struggle with Caleb Williams.

01:41Or people say, oh, look at the Bears record.

01:42Look at the Bears record.

01:43And I'm like, look at the tape.

01:45Look at the tape.

01:45Because if he turns at a two-step, turns around, throws that football,

01:50Caleb Williams and the Bears tie that football game.

01:52And who knows where we go from there.

01:53And that's a story we're all talking about, right?

01:56So he's got to be better in those spots.

01:58He's got to trust the process.

02:00He's got to stop trying to do too much, trying to stop artificially extending plays.

02:03Because all he's doing is putting his team in worse scenarios.

02:06Everything about that.

02:06I saw people bitching and moaning about that play design.

02:08Oh, it's a bad play call.

02:09No, it's not.

02:10It was a perfect play call.

02:11Cole Komet was wide open.

02:12He just extended the play too long.

02:15The corner closes.

02:16And then the rest is history.

02:18Great insight.

02:19Dynamite job, Joe.

02:20Really, really well done.

02:22Let's keep that momentum going and talk about a split backfield on a team

02:26and where we should lead.

02:28Let's go.

02:29Look, the trend continues to go to Blake Corum.

02:31He's still available.

02:31I can't believe he's still available.

02:33So if you have Kyron Williams, you've got to have Blake Corum on your roster.

02:35And if you don't have Kyron Williams, I think you still want Blake Corum on your roster.

02:39He's flex-worthy this week.

02:40He's got three touchdowns in his last two games.

02:42He's going against the Detroit Lions.

02:43It's an offense you can score on.

02:45You can run on.

02:46So I'm all in here for Blake Corum.

02:48After this, it does get tough.

02:50You've got the Seattle Seahawks next.

02:52And then after that, the Atlanta Falcons.

02:53So that's his rest of season schedule there.

02:56But the way they're using Blake Corum, he feels like he's at least going to have use.

02:59And if something should happen to Kyron Williams,

03:03Blake Corum has shown you he can take over the full workload and be great.

03:07He would be an RB1 in this offense, okay,

03:10if something happened to Kyron Williams.

03:12So you've got to have these insurance policies on your roster at the very least.

03:16Even in a shallow league, if Blake Corum is floating out there,

03:18don't let him float out there.

03:19The last thing you want to have happen is for him to end up on some other team

03:23and then taking you the next couple weeks to win a championship.

03:25I know the schedule is a little tricky the next two weeks,

03:27but still, I've got to have Blake Corum on rosters at the very least.

03:30And if you need some help this week, he is certainly startable.
