00:00But the running game is going to be key here, Joe.
00:02Two good defenses, but Kenneth Walker III now expected to deliver
00:05as the leader in the clubhouse, meaning 20-plus touches.
00:09Now, you know everybody's going to, oh, no, Charbonneau's down.
00:12Just go ahead and load up on Walker.
00:1385-and-a-half isn't a cheap number here, Joe.
00:15Let's start with Kenneth Walker III.
00:17You think he can get that 85-and-a-half yards in this game
00:19or too much for him where they just key on him?
00:21I mean, he can.
00:22I'm not going to take away from Kenneth Walker and his ability.
00:26He can.
00:26But that's got to be, you know, the number one priority for L.A.
00:31Now, Swift had 76 last week.
00:34I think Monunga got in the area of, like, 39.
00:37I still thought, you know, they averaged 4.1 yards per carry, Chicago.
00:41They did a pretty good effort of running the football.
00:44They just didn't stick to it, I think, at certain times, right?
00:47They put the ball into Caleb's hands 42 times,
00:51and, you know, that really handcuffed them in that matchup.
00:54But if you're L.A., I am not letting Kenneth Walker beat me.
00:58I'm sorry.
00:59I am going to stuff the box and then say,
01:03if Donald's 100%, prove it to me.
01:05And, again, especially if they jump up early, it's game on.
01:09So I'm staying away from Walker in this game.
01:13If I'm taking running backs, I do lean to Kyron more than Walker.
01:17But that's just the way I'm playing it tomorrow.
01:19Yeah, I think Kyron does have a solid game, 53-and-a-half,
01:22so I'm just looking at FanDuel right now.
01:23You go in and play the 12s, that crowd is going to be loud as this.
01:27It's a great defense.
01:28You can't just have Matthew Stafford dropping back 40 times in this game.
01:30You have to have that balance out,
01:31and I think Kyron Williams will give that to you, Joe.
01:33But you know me, the super secondary options I love.
01:36Puka Naku and Rashid Shahid both listed at 4-and-a-half as the rushing prop.
01:40It's up a little bit.
01:41They usually post those at, like, 3-and-a-half or 2-and-a-half.
01:43No doubt in my mind, if you said, Donnie, Puka or Rashid?
01:47Because Puka had a couple carries last week, too.
01:49Rashid's going over 4-and-a-half as his rushing prop, Joe.
01:51They can't seem to throw him the football,
01:54but you've got to get the football in his hands.
01:56I think he's definitely going to hit at least one,
01:58like one of those rocket screens to the outside, lateral-type plays,
02:03straight handoff when he's in a motion.
02:04Give me that over 4-and-a-half.
02:05I love it.
02:06Well, Shahid, I've been on.
02:08Yeah.
02:08Anytime touchdown, so I get it with the kickoff.
02:10That's a beautiful way to get it.
02:11Right?
02:12Yeah.
02:12Not the way I drew it up, but I've been on his receiving total, Donnie.
02:17Why did I get this guy from New York?
02:19I understand.
02:19If he's the fastest guy on the planet, get him the football.
02:22I mean, he's got totals in the receiving game of 19-and-a-half.
02:26Like, you've got to be kidding me.
02:27But to your point, they are utilizing him in reverses and fly sweeps.
02:31Yep.
02:32And he is a playmaker.
02:33It's not like he can't, you know, break out in space.
02:36I think he is the X factor for Seattle as much as we talk about JSN and everyone else.
02:43If they could get the football, not just in the rushing attack, but in the passing game
02:49to Rasheed, that opens up everything in the offense.
02:53Barner then could open up.
02:55JSN could, again, feeding JSN is great, but you need those tertiary options.
03:03And Shahid is 4-3, 40.
03:05Yeah.
03:06He should be able to – he figures you have a perfect offense.
03:08You have a solid tight end.
03:09You have a good running game.
03:10You have a solid offensive line.
03:12You have your number one wide out in JSN.
03:13You have a burner in Shahid.
03:14And you have a decent, like, intermediate guy in Cooper Cup.
03:16It sounds like he can't catch.
03:17I don't know.
03:18It's one of those things where he's doing so many good things on special teams,
03:21it covers up.
03:22It's like, no, he's actually a legitimate deep threat, and you don't use him as a deep threat.
03:25Like, that should be, Joe, once per quarter, take a shot with him down the field,
03:28but they haven't been doing it.
03:29But the other wide receiver options, Joe, Pukunakua 91-and-a-half, JSN 90-and-a-half.
03:35If we just start at the top of the heap, it has to be Nakua for me,
03:41even though it's a better defense, because I just don't know what I'm getting out of Darnold.
03:44I can't go Jackson, Smith, and Jigba over 90-and-a-half yards if my quarterback's telling me,
03:48well, I'm not going to throw him warm-ups.
03:50Get out of here.
03:51No, I mean, but he is more important, JSN, to Seattle than Nakua.
03:56Didn't do anything.
03:57He scored a touchdown, didn't really catch any passes, though.
03:59Because they didn't have to.
04:00But in this game, if I told you Puka had 50, JSN had 30, who could, like, my point is,
04:12you still have Devontae.
04:14You still have Higby and Parkinson that had 56 yards.
04:17You have Terrence Ferguson, Blake Corham and Kyram.
04:20If I told you JSN's getting 40 yards, are you feeling confident that Seattle's winning?
04:28No.
04:28Right.
04:29So that's why, if we're looking at both guys, and I know Darnold's banged up,
04:34but it is imperative that JSN gets to that number, just because of just what you said.
04:42Barner had no catches last week.
04:45Shahid is nonexistent in the passing attack.
04:48Who's more important to that offense in the passing game?
04:52It is JSN, because they don't use anybody else.
