Jonathan Taylor

We know what happened in terms of injuries.

But they still have got one of the best backs in the league in Jonathan Taylor.

I think Daniel Jones is a quarterback that's got ability.

He doesn't really want to use his legs as much anymore after the injury, which is understandable.

is that he's not a guy that's been able to stay healthy

If he's 40 and he's making things easier for Jonathan Taylor and you ascribe some value in your algorithm to then pay him a lot of money, then cool.

But he's also got to be available.

This is why I go back and I go, man, the Colts.

They didn't turn the ball over.

They had the better running game, even though Jonathan Taylor was good.

Their guy went for more in Ken Walker.

Everything pointed to this should have been a 10 to 14 point win by the chiefs, but it's the NFL.

At that point, Indianapolis has to be thinking, we need to end this game now.

That's not what they're thinking.

They let Jonathan Taylor run it.

He loses a yard.

They would motion a guy from the left to right, then they would run to the left.

Which, when you saw the Chiefs detract one of the defenders from that side, the Colts would pull blockers out in front and then attack the outside edges and get Jonathan Taylor in space there with blockers in front.

So they struggled defensively.

matching the run game with the passing game, and they did play action a lot as well, which again, it negates the pass rush on purpose.

We're learning as we go, folks.

We are learning as we go, I promise you.

um let's go to rob thank you rob appreciate it and thanks for being a member for so long like you're one of the ogs around here please explain why when uh jonathan taylor uh was the hot route there wasn't a defender for 10 yards around him is it just the zone defense rules that they're in yes they were playing and by my eye they're playing more hooks than they were flats and they just elected to leave that go because they wanted to play and i didn't see the shells i don't you've re-watched i haven't

watched the defense no

I definitely agree with you that the fact that he called the runs and I wouldn't mind the amount of time he would have had to actually plan those moments, considering that all the replays going on for what is it down by contact? Was it not down by contact before we get to the point just after that 48 yard pass to look on Treadwell? They had so much time to try and figure out, actually, guys, what's our best pass play here to try and get us, if not in the end zone and certainly close.

I understand maybe going for a run and considering that the most explosive moments they had was with Jonathan Taylor throughout the game.

Tyler Warren was getting a bit of room as well.

But I agree with you there.

They didn't turn the ball over.

They had the better running game, even though Jonathan Taylor was good.

Their guy went for more in Ken Walker.

Like, everything pointed to this should've been a 10 to 14 point win by the Chiefs, but it's the NFL, so it's not, and the stupid thing had to go to overtime because you couldn't make the last second stop and a missed field goal.

Now it's first and 10 from the Kansas City 17.

At that point, Indianapolis has to be thinking, "We need to end this game now." That's not what they're thinking.

They let Jonathan Taylor run it.

He loses a yard.

Danny Dimes still did throw the ball 30 times, but they were down decent at points in this game, and it seemed like they realized...

Jonathan Taylor is going to be the one to get us back in this game.

And they put the ball in his hands 24 times.

Every big play, it seemed like if they needed two or three yards, they were giving the ball to Jonathan Taylor and Matt, I apologize.

I think I, I did not put enough respect on Jonathan Taylor's name at the

start of the year.

I don't know that he'd

These are obviously the elites, the running backs that are going to be locked into your lineup.

We have Kenneth Walker, Jameer Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, Bijan Robinson, and Jonathan Taylor.

I've just been so happy to watch Kenneth Walker dominate, play extremely well, get this awesome usage.

Through two weeks, he has put up 34.1 and 23.8 PPR points.

So hopefully they can just look like a functional unit.

That's really all they need to get Bijan and Drake London some fantasy points moving forward.

And then the last guy in this tier, Jonathan Taylor.

On paper, not the greatest matchup.

So you know what? You know what? I got lucky because I drafted seventh and I was set on taking two running backs to start the draft.

And I was going to get Jonathan Taylor or I was going to get James Cook, one or the other.

Yeah, no one was going to take

those
