00:02 - So if that number's too high,
00:04 let's chop it in half almost.
00:06 Let's go to 35 and a half rushing yards
00:08 and let's give it to Jerome Ford.
00:11 Do you like this over under?
00:13 - You know, life is too short for the unders.
00:16 That's what my good pal Scott Bachman always says.
00:19 And I love that phrase.
00:21 But you know what?
00:21 I don't love this number either.
00:23 I think this is gonna be a really rough day
00:25 at the office for Jerome Ford.
00:26 And I'm gonna back this up again with some math.
00:29 First of all, he's going against a defense
00:31 that is number one against the run, right?
00:33 Okay, so we're going against the 49ers defense,
00:36 coming off an epic performance.
00:37 Now you could argue there's a letdown game, all that stuff.
00:41 But at the end of the day,
00:41 Jerome Ford has been tied to his fantasy value
00:44 with getting in the end zone
00:45 and some of the receptions he's gotten.
00:47 Let's talk about the rushing numbers.
00:48 Again, just the rushing numbers.
00:49 35 seems like a really, oh, it's such a low number.
00:51 Why is it so low?
00:52 Well, maybe it's so low
00:54 because outside of that one magical game against Pittsburgh
00:57 at, you know, 16 carries for 106,
00:59 against the Tennessee Titans, 10 rushes for 18 yards.
01:03 Let me say that again.
01:04 10 rushes for 18 yards against Baltimore,
01:08 nine rushes for 26 yards.
01:10 Where is the 35 and a half coming here
01:13 with a backup quarterback and PJ Walker
01:16 against the San Francisco 49ers?
01:17 You could say, well, okay,
01:18 it's against the Tennessee Titans, the Baltimore Ravens.
01:20 Those are good defenses.
01:21 Well, what are the 49ers?
01:22 Last time I checked, they're pretty good.
01:24 So 35, just because this is a low number,
01:27 you can't necessarily just think
01:28 it's going to be a good number.
01:30 And it's an automatic over in some circumstances.
01:33 This circumstance to me reeks of a trap.
01:35 I would be running away from this.
01:37 I think Ford is a guy that you could bench.
01:38 Another guy that I think it might have more theoretical
01:40 value in the trade market than actual value.
01:43 It feels like the Browns are,
01:46 this is really unfortunate
01:47 'cause they look good in that first week.
01:48 They beat the Cincinnati Bengals.
01:50 We're riding high a little bit.
01:51 That Browns defense is very good.
01:53 But the offense is sputtering right now.
01:55 You lose Nick Chubb and then two weeks later,
01:56 you lose Deshaun Watson and now what?
01:58 Now we got PJ Walker and no offense to PJ Walker.
02:01 He's gonna do everything he can.
02:04 I just don't know what that is.
02:05 And I don't know how much you can do against the 49ers.
02:07 So 35 and a half is a low number.
02:09 I'm gonna go under it.
02:11 And I think Jerome Ford is a guy
02:12 that you don't wanna start today
02:13 unless you absolutely have to.
