00:00I want to be the one to start the conversation.
00:06Now, George said the Falcons are going to go in and they're going to crush the Bucs
00:10and he could be right.
00:13Kirk Cousins has 1800 yards, 10 touchdowns, 7 interceptions.
00:17These are Aaron Rodgers numbers on the season and Aaron Rodgers is having a horrible year.
00:22George, if Kirk Cousins doesn't have a good week, is the Michael Pennix Jr. conversation
00:31coming?
00:32I want to do it here now, before it starts next week on Tuesday, where all of a sudden
00:38everyone's running to the waiver wall, Pennix, Pennix.
00:42Look, is it likely?
00:44No.
00:45Would I put a heavy bet on Cousins starting no matter what?
00:48Yes.
00:49But it's the NFL, man.
00:51And I'm telling you now, the likelihood is, you're right, Cousins, 250, 2 touchdowns.
00:57We have to play the what if.
00:59He throws for 210, 1 touchdown, 4 picks, and that conversation.
01:04We have to do it.
01:05It is part of fantasy.
01:07I'm going to hold on to Kirk Cousins here, okay, because I know you think he's going
01:11to be good.
01:12I think he's going to be good, too.
01:13But why is no one talking about that?
01:17I did hear it mentioned one place, by the way.
01:19Probably some place earlier in the week, but more of a passing by thing, not deep analysis.
01:26I think you bring up a valid point, you're right.
01:30Most top drafted rookie quarterbacks are going to play year one in this day and age.
01:34This is not like when you and I were growing up, right?
01:36They play.
01:37Everyone wants to see the shiny new toy, especially Cousins.
01:40Now, the numbers you brought up for Cousins, by the way, would put him at close to 30 touchdowns,
01:43a million interceptions, and almost 5,000 yards.
01:46So that's good fantasy numbers.
01:48You don't want to lose Cousins, by the way, because you lose Cousins, you lose Drake London,
01:51you lose Mooney, you lose Pitts.
01:54So it wouldn't be good.
01:55That being said, they play Tampa Bay.
01:58We know Tampa, he should be able to throw against Tampa Bay.
01:59Then they play Dallas.
02:00He should be able to throw against Dallas.
02:02New Orleans, Denver, back-to-back road games before the bye.
02:05Boy, if things go bad over the next month, I think that's where you start to get, you
02:09start to bite the nails.
02:10Oh, God.
02:11You know, is he going to start at home against the Chargers in week 13?
02:14That's where I start to get nervous.
02:15If he doesn't win on this, after signing him to all that money, gosh, like that would
02:18be a bad look for the Falcons, no?
02:21If he's not playing well, I think they would say, oh, we have no choice, and there'd be
02:24a lot of, there'd be some pressure.
02:25He'd have to not be playing well.
02:27I don't think they will, but I think the talk would be there, yes.
02:31Yes, the talk would be.
02:33I still wouldn't pick him up yet in fantasy, but it's like a closer in baseball.
02:40One bad start, you can live with it.
02:42Two bad starts, you have the pressure.
02:44You blow three saves, you're not the closer in fantasy anymore.
02:48You're not the quarterback after three bad games in the NFL, too.
