 Sweet, sweet freedom for the Levy on Bell, no longer under the reigns of Adam Gase, the offensive guru, might I add, Adam Gase. We're going to be discussing that and all the topics going around in the NFL leading into week 6 of the 2020 NFL season. On top of the Levy on Bell news, the other news that's probably going around that's just as big, if not bigger, is Dak Prescott's injury. How are they able to recover the Dallas Cowboys and is Andy Dalton the right fit for the Cowboys to lead them to an NFC East Division title? We're going to be discussing that as well as the Las Vegas Raiders and the Cleveland Browns, two teams that really came out of nowhere that are really more surprise teams for the 2020 NFL season. Are they legitimate contenders to make the playoffs with that extra seed, the seventh seed this year in 2020 and dare I even say, Super Bowl contenders for 2020. We're going to be discussing that in all the news surrounding week 6 of the National Football League. Glad that you guys are joining us for a new episode of Time 2 Football. I'm your wonderful host, Hasan Khan, joining you on this Thursday. That's right, it's a little bit different than the Wednesday night release that we have every single week. The Tennessee Titans and the Buffalo Bills played on Tuesday night. That pushback, our fantasy football starts and sits videos to Wednesday, which instead pushed back our podcast that we released on Wednesday night to Thursday night. But I'm kind of glad that we're doing this on Thursday night because I feel like you guys could get your football fixed in. There's no Thursday night football. So instead, why don't you guys just sit back, join us, watch this episode as we premiere it on YouTube. You can chat with us if you are watching this YouTube video as well. If you're watching on the computer, waving to you guys right now on the side and the chat, I'm going to be joining you guys as we are premiering this video. So you can ask any questions. You can chat about any topic that you want as you guys are watching this video along with me. And if you guys are listening to this podcast up on iTunes, thank you guys for joining us for the audio experience. Just remember that we have a YouTube channel, youtube.com, time to football. Subscribe to us on there. We release much more content on our YouTube channel than we do on iTunes. So be sure to check out us on YouTube. So a lot of news that we want to get into, like we mentioned, the Levy on Bell news, the Dak Prescott news, the Raiders, the Browns. But before we get into all of that, we always have to give the most prestigious award every single week on the show. And that is the hungriest player of the week. Hungriest player of the week, the one that wanted it the most. A lot of candidates this week as there are every single week, but we had to narrow it down to one guy that really put on a showing this past Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. Chase Claypool made his name known for the Pittsburgh Steelers, seven receptions on 11 targets, 100 yards, I believe it was 116 yards total and four total touchdowns, three of them being receiving and one of them being rushing. Hey, maybe it could have been five touchdowns. One of them was called back, but Chase Claypool really put on a showing once Deyonte Johnson came out of that game with a back injury. He saw an opportunity where Chase Claypool could come in. Johnson was out, made the most of his opportunities. As a matter of fact, the Pittsburgh Steelers, out of all Pittsburgh Steelers, wide receivers and running backs, Claypool had the third most routes on that team ran. Okay, he wasn't first, but he made the most of his opportunities that were given to him. The little amount of opportunities that he had, he made the most of it. He got open and he scored touchdown after touchdown after touchdown, after touchdown, four total touchdowns off of seven receptions and a rushing touchdown as well. So Chase Claypool is proving as a rookie that he has a legitimate and he's the next big Pittsburgh wide receiver to come out of there. That's a wide receiver factory. Emmanuel Sanders, Antonio Brown, Mike Wallace, all these great wide receivers due to some of Schuster have come out of Pittsburgh and Chase Claypool could be in line to be the next of those Pittsburgh wide receivers. And that is why Claypool is our hungriest player of the week. He wanted it most and speaking of the hungriest player, I mentioned this every single week, but that award was created by us, Time to Football, in 2013, the check down NFL's Instagram account created this award or just stole it from me in 2019. And I haven't had a chance to see who they rewarded the hungriest player this week, but it's probably Chase Claypool. They stole this award from me and I will never let that go. Every single time they post, I comment down below, hey, why'd you steal this award from me? I created this back in 2013. I give this award to the names of people like Jake Locker on the Tennessee Titans. Okay, I have done this award for a very long time. They stole it from me and it's going unnoticed because they're bigger. They have a bigger following and they have a partnership with Snickers and it's ridiculous, whatever. It's not worth it at this point. There's no reason to get mad because this is a positive podcast. I like to talk about positivity and in the eyes of Levy on Bell, there's some positive news in his life. Levy on Bell has been released by the New York Jets this past Tuesday ending the relationship a little less than two years, less than a little relationship with the New York Jets and Adam Gase and Joe Douglas and the team decided to make a statement that Levy on Bell is no longer a member of the New York Jets. He's going on to do bigger and better things and he is now currently a free agent. Okay, so I want to preface, when you guys are watching this podcast or listening to this podcast, Levy on Bell is a free agent currently by the filming of this podcast. Okay, later today, he might get signed. Jeremy Fowler has stated that there are three teams in the running. There are the Buffalo Bills, the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs. They're in the conversation for landing Levy on Bell. We're going to be discussing those teams and which of those is the best landing spot for Levy on Bell. Just keep that in mind that as of right now, by the filming of this podcast, we do not know which team Levy on Bell is going to go to. But what we can talk about is Adam Gase. Oh my gosh, Adam Gase. If you guys are a regular listener of time to football, you know that I only talk about positivity. I try to be positive as much as I can. Okay, while other sportscasters are upcoming analysts or podcasters, try to be negative and try to get that hot take, try to be the new Steven A. Smith and yell into a microphone and just say profanity and all this nonsense and being stupid and just spinning out negativity after negativity about players and criticizing them. And it's just awful. It's horrendous. It's just toxic. They try to make a name for themselves. I instead try to flip the script and be positive. I try to be a person that players can trust, a person that a lot of fans like to see, a refreshing breath of fresh air for you guys that are positive. That's what I try to do. So I'm not going to criticize or talk negative about any player. Instead, I try to focus my absolute best on the positives. But the duration of the show, the only person and the one and only person that I have been negative about is Adam Gase. And that's because I cannot find a single positive. You want to talk about a positive about Adam Gase? Okay. He did well with Pete Manning as the offensive corner for the Chicago Bears. That's it. Other than that, as a head coach, I can't think of a single positive for Adam Gase. Levy on Bell is going to be another one of those examples that goes on to do bigger and better things outside of the reins of Adam Gase. Okay. We have Ryan Tannehill. We have Kenyan Drake. We have Devontic Parker. We have Robbie Anderson. Why not add Levy on Bell to that list as well? Adam Gase, man. You decide to choose Adam Gase. Your team is 0-5. The New York Jets. You know that Adam Gase is going to get fired. Everyone knows that. The fans know that. The media knows that. Within the Jets organization, they know that. They know that Adam Gase isn't going to stick around. What's the reasoning? Why are you keeping him? Is it because you think that he's going to win 11 straight games and he's going to go 11-5 and you guys are going to make the playoffs and that's somehow Simone going to save his job? It's not. That's not going to happen. Adam Gase should have been fired before Bill of Ryan. Should have been fired before Dan Quinn. Those guys, yeah, it was a right move for those teams to move on from those head coaches. But when you talk about those guys getting fired before Adam Gase, how it's week six and Adam Gase still has a job, it doesn't make a lot of sense. So everybody knows. Everyone and their mother knows that Adam Gase is going to go. But instead, knowing that. Knowing that there was a bad relationship and a toxic relationship with Adam Gase and Levy on Bell dating back to 2019, when Adam Gase did not want to sign Levy on Bell to that big contract, did not properly use him in 2019, was an issue of the 2020 offseason when he took him out of first-string reps because he said that his hamstring was hurt and he put in Frank Gore. I don't understand the man cursed with Frank Gore. And then in 2020, when Levy on Bell returns to the starting lineup for the New York Jets against Arizona Cardinals, only got 13 carries when Frank Gore got six, you're still not using him properly. With all that relationship and all that toxic back and forth between Adam Gase and Levy on Bell and knowing that, knowing the relationship is not good, knowing that Levy on Bell is your best player on that team, you decide to ride with Adam Gase and you chose him over Levy on Bell, a guy that's not going to be there for much longer over your best player. Who's your best player now, Jameson Crowder? It doesn't make a lot of sense. So they decide to keep Adam Gase and I was, I could not fathom it. I could not fathom it. I was downstairs. Okay, it was Tuesday night. I was watching the Bill's Titans game on my iPad. Okay. And on the TV, my wife and I were watching the Bachelorette. Okay. I play fantasy Bachelorette because you can win a lot of money. So don't judge me. But while she was paying attention to that show and I was paying attention to the game on the iPad, I got a notification on my phone that said that Levy on Bell was released by the New York Jets. At that point, 20 minutes later, my roommate came downstairs. Yes, I have a wife and I have a roommate. Okay. Don't judge me. The roommate comes downstairs, big New York Jets fan. And I said, bro, did you hear about the news with the New York Jets with Levy on Bell? He said, what? What's up? And I said, Levy on Bell just got released and his reaction, if you guys are watching the video version of this podcast, was this, for a minute straight. He just did this. Lead his head back, hands over his face, could not believe it for a minute straight. And after that, he moved on. We didn't talk about it again. And that was the perfect reaction. I feel like that Jets fans, that that's the only reaction at that point. And I knew exactly what was going on in his head for that one minute and was why would you choose Adam Gase over your best player in Levy on Bell? It doesn't make a lot of sense, but in the future for Levy on Bell, we do see bigger and better and brighter things happening for this once, at one point, the best running back in the NFL and could still get it done. I was big on Levy on Bell prior to the season. I really was. I thought he was going to get 900 yards. I thought he was going to get 60 receptions because he's more of a receiving back as well. I thought this was going to be a big season. For you guys that play fantasy football, that's RB2 production right there out of Levy on Bell. And then maybe get like five, six touchdowns total. Adam Gase ruined that. Adam Gase ruined that and I should have known. I should have known that I couldn't have trusted Adam Gase and I thought he would have learned his lesson, but he didn't. He didn't. He didn't learn his lesson. So what's next for Levy on Bell? Okay, so there's some few teams that we've talked about, the Bills to Chiefs and the Dolphins. Let's start with the Bills, the landing spot. How could that be beneficial for Levy on Bell? One, you're on a very good team. The Bills are looking great. More than likely going to win the AFC East. So that would be good for you and making a run with a contender for Levy on Bell. As far as getting the most amount of opportunities, you've got Devin Singletary there. You've got Zack Moss. They apparently in last week's game weren't afraid to throw it to TJ Yeldon. So there are a lot of options there, but Zack Moss is more the ground and pound guy for Buffalo. Devin Singletary is more the receiving back for Buffalo. Levy on Bell is a guy that can do both. You can make him the three down back if you wanted to. They're not going to, okay, especially in the first game, if they were to sign him right now, they're not going to make him the three down back because they want to work in Devin Singletary. They want to work in Zack Moss. They're not going to punish those guys because those guys have done their job and they've done fairly well at their jobs. And Levy on Bell is just going to be mixing in to the lineup, getting only probably 10, 15 touches a game. But there are going to be those games where he's going to have the hot hand and you could get over 20 carries in a game. He is capable of being a three down back. So going with the team with Buffalo with already a good offensive line, if you don't believe me how good that offensive line was, watch that game against the Tennessee Titans and tell me how much time Josh Allen had in the pocket to throw a ball. Okay, that offensive line is pretty good. And Levy on Bell could succeed behind that Bell's offensive line way more than the New York Jets. The Kansas City Chiefs, for his sake, this might be the best spot, just because you're working with the best quarterback in the NFL currently. You're working with a team that is the Super Bowl champions, the reigning Super Bowl champions, just suffered a tough loss against the Las Vegas Raiders, but we're hoping that that was just an outlier and that they're still one of the best teams in the NFL. You're going to be paired with Clyde Edwards-Elair, which you could be a great compliment to CEH. You could. You would step in. You may be on RB2. You might be the backup because they really do like this rookie running back to be the lead back for Kansas City. But the thing is, Levy on Bell could step up and take his job as well because even though CEH has been very good in running the football for the Chiefs, there have been those moments here and there where he's had a couple of drop passes and Bell could work in really well to be that receiving back and could get a lot more carries with Clyde Edwards-Elair being in there as well. This would be a good spot and would be an upgrade from Daryl Williams from being your running back too. So the Kansas City Chiefs make a lot of sense. The Miami Dolphins, the third team that they're talking about that Bell could sign with, something about him wanting to stay in the AFC East for some reason. I don't know why. Actually, as a matter of fact, the Patriots inquired about Levy on Bell for a trade before he got released this time and not to go with it because of the contract. But Patriots, I mean, that would be a pretty cool spot as well. But Dolphins, he would be the most talented running back in that Miami Dolphins offense. If I know Brian Flores and the kind of man that he is, I don't think that he's going to give the reins entirely to Levy on Bell and make him that three down back because he wants to work in Miles Gaskin who has deserved, deservingly so earned his right to more carries. He's been looking great with the touches that he's been having. So I don't think that's going to be a long-term solution for the Dolphins at running back. I like Miles Gaskin. I really do. But for him to be a three down back, I just don't see it. Levy on Bell could be that three down back. Even if he is that three down back, at that point, if you sign Levy on Bell, you don't have to deal with the headache of adding and Jordan Howard at the goal line getting eight carries for seven yards and like three touchdowns or something ridiculous like that. You'd have to worry about bringing in Matt Breida more so in between the 20s. You can rely on Levy on Bell fully and mix in Miles Gaskin in there as well. And at that point, you could release Jordan Howard, who hasn't really been doing much for the Miami Dolphins and free up a lot of money. So for the Dolphins, it makes a lot of sense. So Bills, Dolphins, Chiefs, I don't know which one it's going to be by the time we're filming this. Maybe it's already happened by the time we're premiering it. But leave your comments down below. Leave your comments in the chat. What do you think about Levy on Bell's new team and how do you think he's going to fare with that team? Do you believe he's still going to be that Levy on Bell of the past when he was with the Pittsburgh Steelers? Or do you believe he's going to take a little bit of regression but still is going to be a little bit better than he was in New York? And how is that going to be for that team? Anything is better than that in case in New York. I can tell you that. Next topic that we want to talk about, Dak Prescott has been injured. Andy Dalton is now coming in for the remainder of the 11 games for the Dallas Cowboys and leading them for the duration of the 2020 NFL season. So first before we get into Andy Dalton, I think that we all can agree that when we saw Dak Prescott get injured, our jaws dropped, our breath left our lungs. We felt for Dak Prescott. Even if you hate the Dallas Cowboys for some reason, I don't know if they just seem to be a team that a lot of people like to hate. Even if you hate the Dallas Cowboys, a lot of people felt it inside for Dak Prescott and that injury because when you saw the injury and how gruesome it was and how horrendous it was, as soon as you saw the injury, you're like, oh my gosh, that guy's seasoned. It's over. It's over. It's kind of similar to Tyler Eiffert's injury in 2018, I believe it was, against the Atlanta Falcons when he just destroyed his ankle. It was the same exact injury and he had to miss their entire season at that point. So Dak Prescott is in the same boat. Never missed a game since his rookie season, since he took over for Tony Romo, since Tony Romo got hurt, he took over in 2016 and led the way for the Dallas Cowboys. Never missed a season and he's finally going to be missing his first game. The question is, Andy Dalton coming in for Dak Prescott, are the Cowboys going to be the same and are they going to continue to be contenders in the NFC East and not skip a beat with Andy Dalton at quarterback? First, we have to talk about Dalton when he came in against the New York Giants. How do you fare? 9 out of 11 passes completed. 81% of his passes were completed, 1100 or 111 yards passing yards and that clutch, super clutch completion to Michael Gallup along the sideline to set up Greg the Leg and that game winning field goal against the New York Giants. So Dalton did fairly well, only two incompletions in that game against the New York Giants. I personally believe that Dalton is capable of playing in the NFL and capable of being a starting quarterback in the NFL. He was not the problem and not the issue in Cincinnati. Due to circumstance, due to them having the number one overall pick, due to them being 2-14, they decided to move on from Andy Dalton, save some money and just draft the quarterback of the future in Joe Burrow. But don't have many opportunities to go somewhere. We have the opportunity to start. If you remember, this was before Cam Newton. Everybody was talking about Andy Dalton being a contender to sign with the New England Patriots and starting for them. Then you had the Jacksonville Jaguars were also a contender to, for him to be a starter down there. But instead, Garner Mitchell is lights out and doing really well and they made the right choice with not signing Andy Dalton. Then there were other teams where they needed a backup quarterback like the New York Jets needed one, the Pittsburgh Steelers needed one, then the Dallas Cowboys also did not need a backup quarterback per se, but they made the move and signing Dalton and Dalton decided to sign with the Cowboys as home state down in Texas. So he's capable of playing in the NFL. I do believe that Dalton is going to do well for the Cowboys. However, I don't believe that the Cowboys are going to win the NFC East and here's why. Dalton, as good as he is, is still a downgrade from Dak Prescott. If you were looking at Dak Prescott's stats, he was on pace to throw for 6,400, I believe it was 6,400 or just over 6,000 passing yards for the whole 2020 season. That would have been an NFL record at that point. Why was he on pace? One, he's a good quarterback so he can keep his own when his team is down. He's good at passing the ball and completing the ball and he can lead his team to a victory. Number two, that defense is so bad that the Cowboys were down and they had no choice but to pass the ball. Dak Prescott was capable of keeping the Cowboys in the game towards the end. They weren't able to win. That's a different story, but he was capable of leaving or leading the Dallas Cowboys in position to win the game and keeping up with the amount of points that the other offense was scoring on their terrible, terrible defense for the Dallas Cowboys. Dalton, I don't believe he's going to be in that same breath. I don't believe he's going to be in that same conversation and capable of leading the Cowboys and throwing for 400 yards every single game because that defense, let's be honest, it is bad. It really is and they might improve. That defensive line is pretty good. That front seven is good once they get late and vander-ish back from an injury, but I don't believe that Dalton is capable of keeping up with the amount of points that the posting team is going to score on them and keeping up and helping them win so many games for the Dallas Cowboys. They're already in a tough spot right now, only won two games so far this season. I just don't see it with Dalton being that Dak Prescott and passing for 400 yards every single game. Instead, a guy or a team that I feel like could win the NFC East, the Philadelphia Eagles, it makes a lot of sense. Carson Wentz is a good quarterback that's just lacking injured players and receivers and they're getting Jeffery back and DeSean Jackson back and hopefully, Dallas later down the road, they're getting all these pieces back and then we'll see for sure if Carson Wentz has lost a step or not. But as of right now, with them being in a position to be contenders in the NFC East and with the Eagles defense being much better, much better than the Dallas Cowboys, I think that the Philadelphia Eagles are still the favorites to win the NFC East. I know that's not saying much because the Giants and the Reskins are not that good. The Cowboys are under 500 and the Eagles are just not that good at football right now. But I feel like that the Eagles have a better shot of winning the NFC East more so now that Andy Dalton is the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. And that's not attacking the talent of Andy Dalton. Unlike some people, if you want to talk about attacking the talent, Patrick Peterson, the cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals, they face on Monday Night Football. He stated, ooh, this is a little bit of a shade. Patrick Peterson on Andy Dalton, he said, and I quote, definitely got to stop the run and force, not saying he can't do it, but we have to force Andy Dalton to beat us. We feel if you take the ball out of Ezekiel Elliott's hands, there's more opportunities for bad things to happen if the ball is in the air. That's shade. That's shade. If I ever heard it, that's shade. Okay, and we all know about Andy Dalton's history of handling comments. Okay, we talk about JJ Watt in 2015. We talk about his Red Rider BB Gun comments and how Andy Dalton got upset in a press conference, post-game press conference about JJ Watt just having some friendly smack talk, talking about how he's not the Red Rye when he's the Red Rider BB Gun after defeating them. Same thing with Patrick Peterson. How is Andy Dalton going to handle those comments? Maybe he's just going to let it slide. Maybe you'll learn this lesson from JJ Watt. But already that shows that most teams aren't really that concerned about Andy Dalton. I think I'm a sucker for proving people wrong. I love to see players go out there and prove people wrong. Like when Josh Allen went out there and proved Jalen Ramsey wrong, oh my gosh, that was beautiful. That actually just worn me in my heart. I love that. It's just sweet, sweet revenge. It's amazing. And hopefully Andy Dalton can do the same thing, can show that he's capable of being a good quarterback in the NFL. But I just don't see them winning the NFC East. I feel like the Philadelphia Eagles are going to be those ones to win that division. We're going to continue with the podcast. We're going to tell you guys about the Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders. But first, we want to get into Manscaped. We want to thank them for sponsoring the show Time to Football. Check out what I got in the mail recently. The weedwacker. Okay, so this is good for trimming your nose and trimming your ears. That's according to my wife, I really needed to desperate late. But the weedwacker, they just sent me this in the mail. So I'm excited to try this out. I have not opened it yet. But thank you Manscaped for sending that over. But I want to talk specifically about the Lawnmower 3.0. The Lawnmower 3.0 is the best hygiene tool for the modern man. Because of their ceramic blade and skin safe technology, your nicks and snags will be reduced. The Lawnmower 3.0 is also waterproof and has an LED light on it. They just released their Shears 2.0 nail kit, which is the perfect add onto their Lawnmower 3.0 trimmer. No one. Like an ungroomed set of feet, fingers, and most importantly, your huevos. I think that's Spanish for balls. I don't know. That's why they have forever changed the grooming game with their perfect package 3.0. I'm going to show you guys that perfect package. I just got this in the mail as well, like a month ago, on top of the weedwacker. It's a whole kit. Stakes right here. Your balls will thank you. And it's the Lawnmower 3.0. This thing will not nick you, like I just mentioned, and there's a variety of things that are included in it. The perfect package 3.0, which is this right here, comes with a new and improved Lawnmower Performance Box Debris, which I'm wearing right now. I can't take my pants off, otherwise I'd get demonetized. And a travel bag for you to use when you're done quarantining and some other liquid formulations like the crop preserver and the crop reviver as well. I also got this nifty t-shirt from Manscaped as well. It fits really well. It's hugs around the arms, makes me look swole, even though I'm not. The crop preserver is anti-shaping ball deodorant, which ensures that your afternoon stroll doesn't end with your ball sticking to your leg or smelling like huevos. I believe that's eggs. I don't know. Comment down below. What is huevos in Spanish? 20% off Manscaped.com promo code T2F. Get it. Sign it. Go there. Well worth it. I promise you. Just got married recently. Just used it. Well worth it. Now let's go on to the Las Vegas Raiders. A surprise team. Are they a legitimate contender in 2020? The only reason we're asking this question is because of the game that they had against the Kansas City Chiefs. Looked great. Beat them 40 to 32 in that surprise victory on the road in Arrowhead. They're three and two. Are the contenders in the AFC West? Probably. But you've got to look at the teams that they beat. The Chiefs. The Saints. And the Bills. They were one touch down away from tying it in that game. Those are three legitimate teams that they faced and that they've contended with and that they've put up a fight up against. Derek Carr has been looking good. He's always been looking good for the past two years. But for some reason it just wasn't translating. It wasn't clicking. And finally this season that good play is translating. And I talk about how good he was the last two years because the season before in 2018 he completed I believe it was close to 69%. 69. Nice. 69% of his passes were completed. Then in 2019 over 70% of his passes were completed which was a franchise record for the Raiders at that point. Then in 2020 currently right now 74% of his passes are completed. He's getting better and better and more accurate as he gets older. 115.9 quarterback rating. He is looking fantastic. And he is doing his part. And now finally he has an offense around him where he can excel. And the good play that he's been having it was getting lost in translation because of the defense which still has some their moments here and there. They're still not as good as they should be but also their offense and other pieces around him he didn't have that for the last couple of years. When your number one wide receiver was supposed to be Antonio Brown but it ends up being Tyrell Williams and you have to rely on Darren Waller to lead the way that's not going to cut it. As of right now it seems like that the Raiders have got a stronghold on their team. They know how to operate. They know how to win games and I am excited to see where the Raiders are going to go in the 2020 NFL season. We talk about how this team has improved. Let's talk about the receivers. Hunter Renfrow has taken a step up and now he looks legitimate. He had a good couple of games towards the end of the 2019 season. That is translating and that is carrying on over to 2020. Stepped in very well while Henry Ruggs, their number one overall pick was injured. And we want to talk about Henry Ruggs. Oh my gosh. This guy is a game changer. When we talk about that Raiders offense and while he was hurt for the last few games I don't remember exactly what he tweeted but he tweeted something where he was like be patient or just wait until I'm in here or replying to someone saying that the Raiders offense was not that good or something like that. But he's pretty much just portrayed that just wait just wait until I get into the lineup and I'm going to prove that this Raiders offense can go. And boy oh boy did he prove it. There were a lot of catches in that game that he had that one deep touchdown that he had was a game changer but not only that there was one catch that he made where he kind of contested it with a defensive back and he landed it and he ended up catching the ball and it was just great to see and Henry Ruggs is a special talent. I think he's going to be great. I don't think he's going to be consistent and he's going to have that kind of game every single week because most deep third receivers don't have a lot of consistency on their side but Henry Ruggs is a game changer for that Raiders offense. Darren Waller as always is still that security blanket for Derek Carr. Maybe the reason why his completion percentage is so high is because Darren Waller is such a good tight end that you could throw to him underneath and he makes the most out of it with his yards after the catch but you could throw him the ball underneath and his catch percentage is fantastic. So Darren Waller is carrying on over the success that he had in 2019. And then finally they finally have a running game with Josh Jacobs. I put him in the same category with David Cook with Saquon Barkley with Ezekiel Eli someone that is a true three down back. One of the few three down backs in the NFL today. Josh Jacobs could be the next of those guys and he's really proven it and he's really taken on the load himself going into a sophomore season and he is a game changer for that Raiders offense as well. So we talked about how good that offense is that defense still needs a lot of work to be done. Okay, that secondary is still not as good as they want and I know that's a lot of injuries that they suffered on their side with Jonathan Abram and then they had some defensive backs get injured as well but that Raiders offense for sure is good enough to contend with Patrick Mahomes and that Chiefs offense and they're looking good and I'm excited to see where the Raiders are what the Raiders are going to do in 2020. We talked about how their contenders in the AFC West I don't believe that they're going to win the AFC West I still believe that's going to be the Kansas City Chiefs but if you want to talk about the seventh seed in the playoffs with that new seed that the NFL made that could open the door for the Las Vegas Raiders other wildcard teams that they could be they could be contending with for that seventh seed we talked about the the Raiders and their division well the Steelers and the Ravens are fighting for their division lead as well one of those teams is going to get a wildcard spot so that's pretty much guaranteed because they're both very good teams both of them are more than likely going to make the NFL playoffs so one of them is going to get one of those spots well that just leaves two more wildcard spots you've got the Patriots that you're fighting with who've been looking good you've got the Colts who've been also looking good once you get better quarterback play out of Phillip Rivers you're going to be looking even better out of that and then the Cleveland Browns the other team that they're fighting with so we'll see what happens with the Raiders but speaking of the Browns the Cleveland Browns another surprise team in the NFL doing a lot better than the Raiders up by one game four in one is the record so far lost week one against the Baltimore Ravens only scored six points on offense and I don't know what happened since then something clicked something happened but they just turned it around at that point winning four strict games beating the likes of Indianapolis this past week beating the likes of Washington beating all these teams and being 4-0 the Cowboys having that good Odell Beckham Jr. game and now they're 4-1 Baker Mayfield is efficient not having the best statistical season that still belongs to his rookie season but he is efficient and he's getting it done nine passing touchdowns to four interceptions and five games on pace for 3100 yards passing not that good but there's no need to pass it there really isn't when you can get it done with your run game that run game is solid okay we know that Nick Chubb just got hurt and that game against the Dallas Cowboys but even without Nick Chubb that running game is still good DeErnest Johnson stepped it up to be that RB2 had that one big game against the Dallas Cowboys and then last week against Indianapolis Colts had that big 32-yard run I believe it was for the Browns then we all know about Kareem Hunt we all know how good this guy is we all know that he should have been an NFL starter for another team if he was given the opportunity he's capable of being a 3-down back he proved it in Kansas City and now he's proving it with the Cleveland Browns he has a prove it contract he signed a prove it contract with this hometown team the Cleveland Browns in 2019 and again the best decision that the Browns could have made was to sign him again to a not a lot of money but a prove it contract for Kareem Hunt yet again so the value that you're getting out of Hunt for the amount of money that you paid is well worth it Chubb is going to be back in about four weeks or so and I am excited to see how that running game is going to operate even more so with Chubb and Hunt in the lineup okay we saw how great they were against the Cincinnati Bengals and that one prime time game this year and that run game is just going to be the bread and butter the lifeline of that Cleveland Browns offense their defense still needs a little bit of work they have playmakers though which is good Miles Garrett six sacks in the NFL so far through five games this game against the Pittsburgh Steelers is going to be his biggest test because that offensive line is pretty good but maybe he'll get some sacks and maybe he'll get a helmet toss or a helmet throw mixed in there as well so we know how good Miles Garrett can be against on the defensive line Denzel Ward even though that secondary gets a lot of crap gets a lot of hate because they have given up a lot of points and quarterbacks seem to have a lot of success against that secondary Denzel Ward has been a bright spot for that Cleveland Browns secondary he's given up some big players some big plays here and there but when the game has been on the line he shows up and he does his job when this team in the secondary were to get Greedy Williams back because he's been injured since the off season he was recently placed on IR we don't know whether he's going to be gone for the long run or whether it's just going to be a short term three week IR and he's going to be activated in three weeks it's an injury it's a nerve and shoulder so he's not going to have to require any sort of sort of surgery for that but when Greedy Williams gets back when Denzel Ward is in the mix as well so they're lining up opposite of each other I'm excited for that Cleveland Browns secondary and seeing how improved that defense can be because we already know how efficient that offense is it's just time for the defense to step it up the head coach Kevin Stefanski he was criticized for that hire I don't know why I mean he I guess because there was really no substance to him he wasn't like a big splash hire he was just more so a guy hey I interviewed for the job and Cleveland Browns ended up liking him so they end up hiring him but he has done a good job okay we were kind of critical on that first game against the Baltimore Ravens but ever since going 4-0 turning it around he's done his job he's listened to his players he's done what Adam Gase cannot do and that's listened to his players when they have a concern Odell Beckham talked about hey get me involved early if you get me involved early everything is going to be fine I promise you that what do they do they turn around they get them involved early in that second week against the Cincinnati Bengals he goes on to have four receptions in that game and a touchdown would have been two touchdowns in that game so he's listening to his players and he's becoming more and more of a players coach and that's what the Browns really like to have as a players coach in that locker room so good good hire good coach good team do they win the division absolutely not I'm just gonna say how it is I don't think they're gonna win the division that Baltimore Ravens team yeah a little more Jackson than the offense has not been looking as good as last season but they're still pretty freaking good the Pittsburgh Steelers have been looking great as well and both of them the Steelers and the Ravens one of them is gonna win the division the Browns just no room for them but can they wait can they make a wild card spot yeah absolutely this is the first time that they've been in contention to make a wild card spot the closest I feel like that they've been in contention to make a spot since 2007 if you remember the years with Derek Anderson and how he just had this phenomenal season for the Cleveland Browns when Brady Quinn got drafted Anderson took the hold on the on the starting job made a probable appearance that year and he led the Cleveland Browns to a 10 and 6 record now they didn't make the playoffs because it was a Sunday night game where the Colts had to beat the Tennessee Titans and if the Colts beat the Titans and the Browns would have made the playoffs the Titans and the Colts they were just I believe the Colts were down just by one score and they needed the ball back and they had all three timeouts and it was the two minute warning but the Titans continued to run the ball and instead of the Colts and Tony Dunge using his timeouts to get the ball back because they were already 13-3 at that point they already had the number one seed so they didn't need to play for anything instead of using his timeouts to get the ball back and potentially help the Colts pick up a victory in that game because of Titans they just let it let it go and let the clock run out then use their timeouts a lot of Cleveland Browns fans were mad at that were mad at Tony Dunge and the Colts because you just cost us a playoff spot you could have helped us get into the playoffs but instead the Titans did when they got that victory but instead this is the closest that they've been to a playoff spot since that 2007 season so the Browns I'm liking what they're doing with that Cleveland team now we're going to get into our final segment of the show that is fan questions fantasy football questions that you guys have been leaving on the fantasy football stories and since videos that we release every single week by the way I mentioned this last week but I want to mention it again because I really do need your help and I'm going to say this with my wife in the room as well I've been getting a lot of Asian bots commenting on my videos trying to seduce me and that's not me again I'm not trying to be racist I'm not trying to attach a race to it on purpose but the facts are facts they're Asian so I need your help I really need your help in reporting these because I mean first of all I do think it I take it as a compliment because not because like you know they say I'm attractive and I'm sexy and all that stuff and they you know want to do many things with me but more so because a lot of bots comment on videos that are successful and I feel like that you guys are helping us just get that viewership and becoming more and more successful and like man I'm honored to have bots on my videos I really am but it's gotten to a point where it's just out of control so if you guys see some Asian bots commenting on my videos just report them report them as spam block them do whatever you need to do because we want people to keep on keep on commenting on these videos so that we can answer all these fancy football questions but we're going to pick a few and we're going to answer them on air for you guys first question we have from YouTuber Noah Myers Jonathan Taylor or Todd Gurley both good matchups I agree both very good matchups Jonathan Taylor against Cincinnati Todd Gurley against the Minnesota Vikings I feel like this game against the Cincinnati Bengals has more room for more rushing attempts in this game because I feel like the Minnesota Vikings and the Atlanta Falcons it's going to be back and forth passing both don't have the best defenses and I mean if you want to take it a little bit step further the Vikings defense has improved a little bit if you want to look at the past couple weeks so Todd Gurley may be bottled up may not get a lot of rushing attempts the Falcons may be down a little bit more and they need to pass it a lot whereas the Colts and Phillip Rivers and Jonathan Taylor may just be slinging the ball may be up big against the Cincinnati Bengals and they just need to run out the clock and Jonathan Taylor is the way to go hasn't been looking great recently but be patient Jonathan Taylor is the start this next one is from Lil Soup what a name Odell or AJ Brown move I like Odell I really like OBJ and the production that he's having with the Cleveland Browns but AJ Brown is the way to go and that includes if Corey Davis were to come back and he were to get over COVID and he were to be a starter with AJ Brown AJ Brown is legit he's the next I put him in the same category as someone like DK Metcalf maybe not as talented as DK Metcalf but they were both drafted in that draft class and both physical, fast and number one receivers for the team and AJ Brown is the way to go his first game back seven receptions a touchdown looked great Odell he can only do so much I have him as a must start against Pittsburgh but his production he gets a lot of targets but he's only getting about four or five receptions each game whereas AJ Brown seven receptions in his first game back looking good I'd start Brown next one is from Allen C why sit Henderson or Freeman Henderson has been looking solid I really do agree with that so starting off with Henderson he has a tough matchup this week against the San Francisco 49ers that's the first thing the second thing is that Cam Akers looked great against the Washington football team last Sunday he had nine carriers for 61 yards Henderson gosh I want to say it was maybe two or three yards a carry that he had he had those touchdowns which saved his fancy football day but Akers is going to get a lot more work according to Sean McVeigh so Akers is going to be in the in the conversation of getting the majority of the work so that's going to leave Daryl Henderson high and dry at that point so that's why I would start or I would sit Daryl Henderson for Devonte Freeman man just think of last game as as an outlier I don't think that that's going to be the production you're going to see every single week Freeman listen coming from a Falcons fan I've seen Freeman dwindle down year after year after year lose in production and loses ability and just kind of just go down the slope trust me Freeman is not the same back that he used to be in his prime days with Atlanta on top of that that offensive line is not that good and that defensive line of Washington could surprise a lot of people they actually are pretty good against the run hence why I had Daryl Henderson as they must sit last week against Washington so Freeman again with that offensive line you cannot trust him and I would just go ahead and just not deal with a headache although with the running back apocalypse going on right now I understand if you have to flex Devante Freeman just because there's not many options out there next one is from Daniel Bosco Johnny Smith or TJ Hawkinson I have both as must starts TJ Hawkinson will continue to always be a sleeper start more so than a must start and Johnny Smith will continue to be a must start every single week one of the most productive tight ends with one of the more productive quarterbacks in the last couple years with Ryan Tannehill Johnny Smith is the guy is a beast of a tight end and I would pick him over TJ Hawkinson any single day for this week for the rest of the season Johnny Smith is the man we're gonna go with a couple more let's do this next one is from Uzi start Stafford versus Jags or Fitz magic versus Jets so Ryan Fitzpatrick has been on an absolute tear has four straight games with 20 plus fantasy points in all of them Stafford on the other hand has been looking pretty good as well had one game where he had 16 fantasy points but it has not had a game less than 16 fancy points so he's still very productive you got Kenny Gallade back you've got Marvin Jones in there personally I would start Stafford against the Jags because the Jaguars have failed to stop any single quarterback that they faced so far this season every quarterback that they faced has produced so I would start Stafford over Fitz magic which the Dolphins might be up by a bunch against the Jets okay so Fitz magic could only do so much and then the Jets at that point are gonna have to just pass the ball to try to keep up and the Dolphins are just gonna run the clock out so I don't see too much production out of Fitz magic maybe close to the range of like 18 fantasy points max out of Fitz Patrick but I think Stafford against the Jags when it's gonna be a back and forth game both defense is not that good Gardner-Mitchew is looking good as well so it's gonna be pass heavy Stafford versus Jags has the better potential this last one is from Mark Price should I trade Josh Allen for CEH, Clyde Edwards-Hallaire and Burrow absolutely and that's gonna be that's gonna sound crazy to a lot of you guys but I think that Josh Allen as good as he is unless you have someone like a good quarterback replacement in place like for instance if you picked up someone like Gardner-Mitchew off the waivers I know that Karsten Wentz got dropped you were able to pick up someone like Baker Mayfield or someone who's good enough to be a starting quarterback for your fantasy football team then yeah absolutely I would get rid of Josh Allen for Clyde Edwards-Hallaire mainly because Joe Burrow yeah he's gonna be good he'll be a good replacement here and there but Edwards-Hallaire when you get a running back right now when the position is so thin it is it makes wonders okay so by the way I just want to preface that this is being filmed prior to Levy on Bell being signed by an NFL team so by the time that this premieres he may be on the Kansas City Chiefs at that point you may not want Clyde Edwards-Hallaire and that's okay but if Bell does not get signed by the Chiefs and it's just Clyde Edwards-Hallaire as the number one back in Kansas City I would make that trade in a heartbeat because the difference of points with quarterbacks from Josh Allen to someone like Gardner-Mitchew is not that big from someone like Clyde Edwards-Hallaire to another like Devin Singletary you get what I'm saying like when you have a quarterback one and a quarterback two it's kind of closer in points than like a running back one and a running back two or flex so that's why I want to make the move on Clyde Edwards-Hallaire but that's all we have for this new new episode of Time to Football hey let me ask you guys a question did you guys enjoy this video enjoy this episode if you if you did make
