Alexei Navalny was laid to rest in Moscow today, exactly two weeks after his death. Thousands of mourners gathered to pay their respects to the former opposition figure, expressing defiance and calling Navalny a true hero, despite a large police presence and barricades set up in the area, mourners burst into applause as his body was taken into a church outside Moscow. Those in attendance risk arrest for showing support for Navalny.Navalny's funeral may be the last rally in Russia, says build columnist Julian Roth. Impressive images reach us from the Russian capital. Pictures of defiance, pride and courage. Thousands of people defy threats and possible arrests from the Putin regime to say goodbye to the last liberal opponent of the dictator. Just by being near a temple in a cemetery, they are risking their jobs, freedom and perhaps even life, as the alleged murder of their leader shows. But it was not just sympathy for the death of a Kremlin critic that forced them to take to the streets. Alexei Navalny's funeral may be their last chance to publicly demonstrate that there is another Russia and that not everyone in Moscow capitulated to dictator Putin. The journalist writes that he notes that soon after the start of the war in Ukraine, totalitarian Russia began to ban all demonstrations against the omnipotence of the leadership. Even the most cautious criticism, even in private, is persecuted and severely punished by the regime, that is why today was probably the last mass quasi-rally against the Putin regime, which was not nipped in the bud by the secret services, Special Forces. With the death of Navalny, Putin overcomes one of the last obstacles on the path to unlimited claims to power over the largest country in the world, which shows increasingly fascist features.


Highbridge, a division of recorded books, presents Strange Survivors, How Organisms Attack and Defend in the Game of Life, by One R. Pagan. Read by Eric Martin. Introduction I want the very first words you hear from me to be an expression of how grateful I am that you chose this book. This is a wonderful time to be a science enthusiast. There are a plethora of popular science books for you to choose from, and yet here you are listening to mine. I hope you will enjoy it, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Why should you listen to this book? In a nutshell, because the living world is majestic and awe-inspiring, and because by learning about it we may also come to understand ourselves a bit better. It is as simple as that. Life on earth is, still, despite the breakneck pace of extinctions, majestically diverse and displays, in Charles Darwin's most famous words, endless forms, most beautiful and most wonderful. Biological life fills us with wonder with its unending mysteries, puzzling behaviors, breathtaking beauty, raw violence, and unexpected liaisons. However, beauty, majesty, and wonder are only part of the proverbial picture. Virtually every peculiar trait, every behavior, every colorful characteristic that makes the biological world so interesting to look at and entertaining to explore, evolved to confer practical benefits to the organisms displaying it. And many of those traits also offer us tools to improve our own chances of survival, whether directly, as with substances that prove useful in curing disease or otherwise improving human life, or indirectly, as knowledge that informs technological, engineering, or medical research. You see, we do not have to choose between wonder and practicality. With nature we can certainly have both. We humans are counted among those endless, beautiful forms Darwin spoke of.  There is one characteristic in particular that we share with all life, a drive so fundamental that it is at the root of much of what we do and are. This drive has had many names over time, such as the will to live or preservation of the instinct. Personally, I prefer to call it the survival instinct. This instinct is an undeniable biological imperative and Sample complete. Ready to continue?


So today we'll be talking about how we actually conduct digital investigations. The investigation process itself is very, very much like traditional investigations. We're just looking for evidence or we're looking for traces in computers themselves. So today we're going to be talking about what is an investigation process and how can we actually start our investigation. What are we trying to do? So an investigation attempts to support or deny some question that's being posed to the investigator. We have a question, we need to answer that question. So for example, was the computer used to download illegal images? Relatively straightforward question but sometimes very difficult to answer. So the investigation should attempt to answer the question and look for evidence of all reasonable explanations. So we're not only looking to prove that somebody is guilty, we also have to look and see can we prove that they're innocent. Sometimes some cases look like someone is very, very guilty of doing something but once we find an additional piece of evidence it turns out that they're actually innocent. So we have to look for and try to prove all reasonable explanations to answer our question. So a reasonable explanation to was the computer used to download illegal images is a virus downloaded the illegal images. A virus could do some action that is illegal but it might look like the suspect or the person actually did it. So we have to think about one explanation is that the person themselves downloaded these images. Another explanation is that a virus did the same action. One means that the suspect is guilty, one means the suspect is innocent. As an investigator it's our job to make sure we're looking for both of those things. And examiners should be neutral finders of fact. We shouldn't have an opinion about whether somebody is guilty or innocent. We should only look to investigating the computer to find the truth. So it doesn't matter even if I think I don't like how the suspect looks, we don't care about that. We care about what does the evidence tell us. But that's very very difficult because humans we all have bias from our own personal beliefs. So in very very emotional cases for example child exploitation cases you might see a lot of really really bad things on the suspect's computer and that will make you want to blame someone. And the obvious choice to blame is the suspect. Even if the suspect didn't necessarily do it because your emotional state you might attempt to look for evidence that makes the suspect guilty whenever they're actually not. So think about your emotions during investigations and how you can keep those in check. I'll tell you how we can actually keep those in check. And also with investigators, with police officers especially, influence from media really makes a big difference in cases. The media really like to jump to conclusions. So before the police finish investigations the media have already blamed or created suspects themselves because they want to sell stories. But none of that is necessarily based on evidence that the police have found. But whenever the police officers go home at night they're reading these stories and they're thinking yeah maybe this suspect is actually the criminal. So then the media is influencing or making the investigators slightly biased towards particular individuals whenever they probably shouldn't be. They should just be following where the evidence is taking them. And these things are very very difficult to stop because everyone's influenced at least a little bit by the media. Everyone's influenced at least a little bit by their own personal biases. So as investigators we need to try to reduce those biases as much as possible. There's also of course bias from cultural beliefs. So one bias that I have a lot of times in Korea is that Westerners cannot eat very spicy food for example. So Koreans tend to think Westerners can't eat spicy food so they never offer me spicy food but I love spicy food. So this bias is just something that a lot of people think but it's not necessarily true. For spicy food no problem but for investigations where somebody might be sent to prison for a very long time we can't have that. So think about what your biases are and how they influence decisions you make and things you think about especially in investigations. So one way to attempt to reduce these biases is by using a particular method or a particular process for our investigations. And the best method we can use is the scientific method. Scientific method is just a process of investigation. So the scientific method is a standard procedure for developing a theory. It helps increase objectivity because we're following a specific process. The scientific method doesn't care about our biases and there's not really any room to be biased in the scientific method. So it helps to reduce our innate biases and all investigators use the scientific method knowingly or not. Many investigators don't think that they're scientists but they're actually using this process all the time more or less. So today we're talking about the scientific method and how it applies to all investigations. How it can make your investigations easier and more objective. So the scientific method at least a simplified version is first off ask a question like I've already talked about. We already have a question that we need to investigate or we need to answer. Once we have that question then we need to do background research about how couldn't this be true or false? How are we going to answer this question? What do we need to do to answer the question? Then we need to construct a hypothesis or an educated guess about what would make this question true, what would make this question false. Then we need to test our hypothesis, analyze any data that we've collected and then we make conclusions from that and we present these results to usually our boss. So going through this first off asking a question we need to clearly define what is being investigated. So a good investigation question is relatively specific. It doesn't really help me to bring a computer to a digital investigator and say find something illegal. First off that question is completely different in every country because every country has different law. So something is only illegal if there's a law saying it's illegal. So that kind of question is too general. I can't actually make a specific reply to that question. Is there something illegal on the computer? Well it depends on the legislation in the country. It depends on what type of crime you want to look at. We're looking for every type of crime because that's going to be a very difficult investigation. We have to look for all types of data. So the more specific the question is the better. So we need to know what exactly is the investigating member trying to prove and what questions will the defense likely ask. So it's not only about trying to prove that the suspect is innocent but we also need to think about what kinds of questions will the defense ask to make our investigation look like it failed. So the defense will basically try to challenge us and say you are wrong for this, this and this reason. Well we need to preempt those questions essentially and answer their questions accordingly. So once we've asked a question once we have an idea of the specific question we need to answer we need to do background research. We need to find relevant information for example what type of case is it. Child exploitation cases are very very different from hacking cases. So we're going to be looking for different things. Our approach might be a little bit different. The way we start, the way we ask questions will be different for those types of cases. So what type of case is it? What's the profile of the suspect? Profiling suspects can at least give you a little bit more information about whether the suspect is actually capable of committing the crime. Now everyone can commit most types of crimes but it at least helps you gain an idea a little bit about what's going on. So even though it happens sometimes very very old people don't usually download child exploitation material. Sometimes it happens but not a lot. So we might instead be thinking about who else has access to this computer rather than focusing on the primary suspect. Are there any other suspects we can get? So thinking about our primary suspect and what their capabilities are can help us to decide whether we need to widen the pool or whether we can focus on them first. What information or data is available? So do we actually have enough information to be able to answer the question that's been given to us? In digital investigations we normally get forensic disc images or copies of the hard drive and we'll talk about how to do that in later lectures. Sometimes we get mobile devices or now in most cases we get mobile devices because they're connected to computers, they download a lot of information, they have a lot of information about suspects that can be useful to the investigation. Do we actually have access to those? What type of mobile phone is it? If it's a blackberry it might be more difficult to access the information than if it's another type of device. What information are you likely to need to answer the questions posed by the investigating member? So just do I have enough information or data to be able to answer the question that's been asked in a satisfactory way? We'll talk about what it means to be satisfactory in a second. Once we've asked our question and done some background research we can now start to make a hypothesis about what could have happened or how can I answer this question or prove this question. So for example, question, was the computer used by a human to download illegal images? Well, one hypothesis is that a human used a web browser like Internet Explorer to download the images online. Very, very common occurrence or action that people do. Hypothesis two, that a bit torrent client was used instead of a web browser. Now in those cases the two hypotheses were going to be investigating both of them a little bit differently. So with those two hypotheses I'm going to be investigating in different places looking for different traces. Hypothesis three is a defensive hypothesis a virus downloaded the illegal images. So the first two are actually saying the suspect is guilty or likely to be guilty. The third one is saying that the suspect is innocent. So we have to think about not only we're trying to prove the suspect guilty but also that they may be innocent and we need to try to prove that as well. And of course there's going to be many, many more hypotheses that we can generate but we tend to go with the most likely ones first investigate those and see what we find. Then for each hypothesis we need to experiment. So for example in a similar system if I have a Windows 10 computer from a suspect I want to figure out what does it look like if I downloaded legal images using Internet Explorer on Windows 10. Once I understand how Internet Explorer on Windows 10 works and what evidence might be created then I can go look at the suspect's computer look for the same traces and see if they exist. If they exist then it's likely that Internet Explorer was used. So we can ask what traces are created in the system if Internet Explorer is used, if BitTorrent is used if a virus was on there and then investigate. So hypothesis one we can say possible traces are created in temporary Internet Explorer files which is a temporary storage place for Internet Explorer. If we look in that temporary storage place and we find these illegal images then that points to or provides evidence for Internet Explorer being used. If the BitTorrent client is installed and we can see that past torrenting activity was on there then that points to the potential for BitTorrent to have been used to download the images. If we find a virus on the system and no downloads these illegal images well that could also, that's definitely evidence for the defense essentially. So where to find this information? Investigators tend to read a lot of published articles and academic research papers. A lot of academics in digital investigations focus on the technical investigation and basically tell you where to look for certain types of evidence on different systems. Once we actually know where the data will be located then we can analyze the data. Normally we take a forensic disc image of the suspect's computer which we'll talk about later and then we analyze that collected disc image. We can look for traces identified during the test phase. So for example hypothesis three that a virus was on the system we scanned the suspect's computer for viruses using something like virus total with a lot of different virus skinners and we didn't find any viruses. So now we have some evidence that supports that there was not a virus installed on the computer. Hypothesis two, we say no active or deleted traces of BitTorrent clients. We don't have any proof that a BitTorrent client was ever installed or ran on the system so we have no supporting evidence that says that BitTorrent was used to download the illegal images. Hypothesis one, suspicious URLs were found in Internet Explorer history. Suspicious URLs found in Windows registry typed URL in our U list. So we find some traces that Internet Explorer may have been used and we'll talk about what that actually means later. But we find some traces for supporting Internet Explorer. So what conclusions can we actually make from this? Now that we know where traces were found what the traces were and we have support for one hypothesis and really no support for the other two but what conclusions can we make? We have no evidence to support hypothesis three that a virus was used that a virus downloaded the illegal images. Does that mean that there was no virus? No. There could have been a virus it just because of evidence dynamics because of any other reason the virus might have been deleted or otherwise removed. It might have removed itself. It's just very, very unlikely that that virus was there and downloaded those images because we find no evidence to support that it was. So all we can really say is there is no evidence to support that the system was infected by a virus. We looked for the traces that would be associated with a virus being on the system and we didn't find any. So it's still possible but very unlikely that the virus was there. We have some evidence to support hypothesis one that a user used Internet Explorer a browser to download the illegal images. Does that mean that a user used Internet Explorer to download illegal images? No. It's just very likely. So all we can really say is that some evidence supports the Internet Explorer was used by a human to download suspected illegal images. That's as much as we can possibly say because we were not there to witness what actually happened. There are still some other possibilities that could result in the same trace as being created but the user being innocent. It's just very, very unlikely that it was something other than the user in this case. So the second problem we have not only that we can't say exactly or with 100% certainty we just have support or denial of the hypothesis but our second problem is who downloaded the images. This is a big problem for digital investigations is actually saying who did something because we don't necessarily know who was behind the keyboard. Even, for example, somebody else could log in to your Facebook account it looks like it's you but it's not. So how can we actually say who was the person behind the keyboard at the time that some illegal action was done? And how do we associate human with the action? This is one of the biggest issues we have. So no conclusions. Definitely 100% happen. We cannot say anything definitely happened. It's either supported or it's not supported. Found evidence increases or decreases the probability of a hypothesis being true. So we have to find enough evidence to make the probability of one hypothesis much greater than the others. And the normal standard in court is that we accept it beyond a reasonable doubt. So is there any other explanation? If there is, it's probably doubtful and the suspect would probably be found innocent. Finally, once we've done all of this we have to prepare documentation actually write the report for courts, for our boss, for the prosecutors, for everyone else so they can actually use the evidence or the conclusions that we've made and integrate that into the court and the decisions. So we have a couple issues. Never say that a specific user was at the keyboard because unless we have CCTV or some other source or even a camera pointing at them at the time we cannot be definitely 100% sure that a specific user was at the keyboard. And never make a claim that's beyond the scope of your expertise. So for example, indecent images of children.  Personally, I can't sometimes tell whether something is illegal or not. It's not my job to determine whether it's illegal. It's the prosecution, it's the court. Right, and then finally people often ask me how many hypotheses are enough. So we've already come up with three hypotheses. Generate hypotheses based on essentially your experience. You'll find that some hypotheses are much, much more common or much more likely than others. Focus on those first and while you're investigating those you'll come up with a lot more questions later. So investigation and investigations in science answering one question likely results in many more questions. So that's it for today. Thank you very much.


We live in weird times. So why not embrace it and get a little weird ourselves? It is the week 16 Fantasy football waiver wire Q&A slash Tuesday in a football start sit show here on the Fandall YouTube twitch Facebook and Twitter channels. My name is Jim Sonnis I am a senior writer and analyst for number fire comm joined here as always by JJ Zachary's And he is the editor in chief of number fire and Fandall and JJ. We somehow still have two games left in week 15 which has been going on for roughly a decade. How are you doing today? I'm anxious, man I got a lot of games coming out of the wire with these these these two games tonight I need a lot of you know, I have like some teams where I'm like, yeah I need staffer to do well and then another team I'm like no I need staffer staffer to be terrible So hopefully it all evens out in the end and like I have enough hedge life going on that like I can I can still feel good at The end of the day, but I know a lot of people I've been getting a lot of questions about the games tonight I have to be honest with you They're really tough questions not not only because the stakes are so high and you know the stakes are so high But the players involved tonight are not in clear cut roles So we have to kind of talk through it a little bit and see how we're feeling Like there's only one running back who has a clear cut role tonight And that guy is playing with a fifth string center and a third string quarterback and Antonio Gibson. So like What are we gonna do great question? I don't know either Let's break it down try to get you said for today first a quick scheduling announcement because of the holiday this week This is going to be our second to last Q&A this week. We'll have Tom Vecchio's NBA DFS Q&A tomorrow at 4 p.m There will be no Thursday football Q&A on Thursday and no snake draft this Friday I think JJ won the snake draft this past week So I got a scramble to keep up and our final one two weeks or three weeks now I didn't try to keep up there Make sure you're subscribed to the family YouTube twitch Facebook or Twitter page to get notifications as we go live each and every week Day again, there's one more day this week But then back on a regular schedule in the very near future We can take start sick questions for Tuesday or waiver wire questions for week number 16 Let's get things started here with shaking bank shaking bank has a start sick question for tonight between Rashad penny Devontae Smith, I think that Devontae Freemans are like 16 Devontae's Sony Michelle and Darryl Henderson I'm gonna let you do this one. I have no lead in you pick Yeah, I mean so here's my feel because a lot of people are gonna ask about the the Rams backfield Here's my here's my general feel We got some like some nudging from reporters and from McVeigh himself to a degree Just a couple weeks ago not even like this a couple days ago like weeks ago Saying and this is before even like the Darryl Henderson injury and like COVID and all that kind of stuff But we got we got a little bit of a glimpse of of them thinking that they might like Sony Michelle in this like Workhorse role more than Darryl Henderson And then what we obviously the last couple weeks we've seen Sony Michelle in that role But with Henderson coming back then that obviously means like what you know Henderson's been the starter all season long. He's seen workhorse numbers peripherals throughout the season And so we're sitting here and we're like, okay Well, if they're saying this and Sony Michelle is coming off these games, you know, where does that leave us? Well, I think personally when it comes to that backfield, I would play straight up Sony Michelle over Darryl Henderson this week And there's yeah, what's what's making me lean that way a little bit more Is the fact that Henderson has had this thigh injury and he has been practicing He's been on the COVID list and he just got off that COVID list I think that this week makes sense like this would actually make sense to use Sony Michelle And then, you know, we'll see we'll get numbers at the end of the day You're like, we'll see usage at the end of the day And then we can make hopefully a more informed decision in week 16 But I just think with Henderson coming off of this COVID list and not getting practice in etc Just a way safer bet to go Sony Michelle with that being said when you're looking at a Situation of you know, this one was penny Devonte Smith, Sony or Henderson When you're looking at a situation like that I think of those guys Rashad pennies the safest play like like he's probably gonna walk into 15 touches today I would assume something around there. You have to worry a little bit about his receiving upside But you know Rashad penny should without Alex Collins. He should see, you know, 15 or so touches And Devonte Smith, you know over his last couple of games. He has not been producing so he's a little bit risky himself So I think in this group I would go Rashad penny Because there is still, you know, of course, that's my lean with that Rams backfield But it would not shock me at all if Daryl Henderson is all of a sudden, you know The starter in that backfield and seeing workforce touches and it would not shock I mean, there's so many directions I can go in but that's what makes them a more volatile choice either one of those running back So I'm gonna go Rashad penny of this group. I think he's the safest play I think he has just as high of a ceiling as Devonte just because of the touchdown potential So I'm gonna lean in that direction. What if you're in a bad situation where you're down big and you need upside Would you go Sony over penny in that situation or would you stick with penny there? I think you can make the argument for sure You know, I've seen a lot of that for sure this week too where you know, people are like, oh, I have you know I'm up 10 right now and my opponent has or I'm down 10. Let's say and my opponent has Daryl Henderson And I have Sony Michelle. Well in that case, that's not a bad play to go Sony Michelle When your opponent has Daryl Henderson because it's a negative correlation play or I guess they're correlated and you know They're correlated from the standpoint that if Sony Michelle does well, it means Daryl Henderson is not doing well So that's gonna allow you to come back in that matchup. So think about things that way You know, we don't always have multiple games going on a Monday and Tuesday Where you can make lineup decisions based on how things have already gone down use that to your advantage For sure. Absolutely. So along that same line made this one from David asking about Sony Michelle versus Devontae Smith So different from before because there's overshot penny here. It's just those two and half PPR needing five and a half points Where would you go for David here? This is tough because again Devontae Smith has not been doing that much of late I mean his target shares are 14% and 18% over the last two weeks But that's also equated to eight total targets because the offense just hasn't been throwing the ball that much But it's a really good matchup for the passing attack and five and a half points is not a lot I think there's a bigger risk that they do just end up you I know that I just said what I said about the Rams backfield But there's still a risk that the Rams just utilized Daryl Henderson a hundred percent, you know He's back into his workhorse role, you know If you were to ask this question think about that if you were to ask this question five weeks ago We would easily be saying Devontae Smith because no one's starting Sony Michelle, you know A month and a half ago. We're only saying this because of what's going on right now But just think that where we were a month and a half a month and a half ago could happen tonight And if that happens tonight, then all of a sudden Sony Michelle is completely worthless in fantasy So I think because you need five and a half points. It's a good enough matchup I'm gonna lean Devontae Smith over Sony Michelle. I think that makes a lot of sense in that specific situation for David Okay quick quick kicker question from Samir. I don't plan to leave the kicker anymore So this could go up could look very silly here Okay Daniel Carlson for the Raiders facing Denver potentially drew lock starting for Denver Which may help the Raiders offense there Badgley or young way coup facing Detroit That's a their six-point favorites golf currently the COVID list for the Lions So it could be a positive script there for Atlanta as well any preference for you here. I Think it's fine if you want to go Carlson I don't I don't really have like super strong kicker takes but the game script should be Sort of right for for Carlson in that game. I would assume, you know, it should be fairly close I know that you mentioned earlier today that it was a little surprising that the line was was what it was And I'm a little bit surprised by that too just because drew lock is starting But yeah, I'd probably say I'd probably go Carlson. I would there as well Okay, let's talk to Matthew with a very specific situation up by nine Opponent has Russ and McLaurin He can play Odell or DK if he uses DK in the situation He's kind of blocking your rust in a way because I think when you think about the the Seattle pass catcher tonight like If Russ is gonna blow up Who will be blowing up with him and it's DK so How are you viewing the situation here? That's how I would view it too. I mean I think that I'm not very high on Terry McLaurin tonight at all There's gonna be Darius slay coverage He actually historically has not done very well against slay And then on top of that you have a guy who was on the couch four days ago throwing him the football I mean It would it would take a lot for me like I have for instance I have Devontae Smith versus Terry McLaurin in a league tonight and I'm going Devontae Smith over Terry McLaurin Maybe that bites me But I think it's the logical thing to do just given the circumstances of Washington So if you assume that McLaurin doesn't blow up which of course he's super talented But I don't think that you can make that assumption I might just go with DK over obj in this instance, you know, I understand that There's there's obviously a correlation between Russ and DK But a nine-point lead and if being a wide receipt like a pass catcher Who's gonna gobble up more points quickly if it's a from a yardage standpoint, right? So, you know, if there's one connection between Russ and DK in the end zone, it's game over in my opinion So I I'm I'm probably gonna lean DK because straight up I would rather play DK than obj I would agree with that as well. Talk to Larry over here How would you prioritize Justin Jackson, Devon single Terry and Craig Reynolds week in half ppr? Devon single Terry played almost every snap for the bills this past week and I am not a Devon single Terry guy but 93 Percent snap rate five out of 10 team chances inside the red zone. He actually scored which is like not allowed typically So I find it really hard to say no to that. What about you between these three? Yeah, I mean not only that but in so yes, I would definitely go Devon single Terry first Probably Justin Jackson second and probably Craig Reynolds third and I'm saying Justin Jackson second and Reynolds third because Jamal Williams is back. It sounds like from the from the COVID-19 list. So and goff is on the COVID list Which hurts the entire alliance team. Yes, exactly So you have a situation with Craig Reynolds where you know, uh, if Jamal Williams is back I don't think that Reynolds sees nearly there's just a lot of risk involved I like the matchup, of course, but there's just a lot of risk involved Justin Jackson, you have the upside of you know, there was the report yesterday that Austin Echler is on the COVID list But he actually wasn't on the COVID list But you know, you have the the the upside of what if he gets COVID? What if he is more hurt with his ankle injury than what they're letting on etc etc? And I know that Justin Jackson can get COVID as well, but Justin Jackson doesn't have a hand You're not handcuffing Justin Jackson And so to me, it's easily Devon single Terry number one You know, you might not be able to play him with that much confidence in week 16 But in week 17 the bills get the the Falcons Um, and I mean single Terry could be honestly The way the running back position is right now Devon single Terry might be a fringe rb1 in week seven I thought that too.  Absolutely So we talked about Craig Reynolds and the concerns there with Jamal being back and with golf on the COVID list What about a monrasse brown because he's been amazing. They're facing the Falcons There's a chance that golf plays this week Let's see if he doesn't because we kind of know what to do with him if golf plays if tim Boyle starts or Blau or whoever it may be Then what do you do with the monrasse brown? Yeah, I mean, let's not forget that like a huge reason in my opinion for the Amun Rasen brown uptick is tj hawkinson being out Um, and you know, I just I think Amun Rasen Brown's like a fine player I didn't mind him coming out, you know as a prospect But I do think that things are sort of like moving in his favor just generally You know, I would obviously rather have Jared golf Undercenter if I'm choosing between these two guys though I'm still going st. Brown because I don't think that Reynolds if Jamal Williams is back is going to be something that I could trust Whereas st. Brown 12 12 and 11 targets over his last three games if he even comes close to that I don't care who's throwing him the ball. He should be able to catch Six or seven balls against a Falcons defense is very beatable. So I would go st. Brown Yep, I would agree with that for sure. Okay. Uh, new question about Justin Jackson David is asking Would you prioritize Justin Jackson or some Ajay P Rine? So we had the the uncertainty with Echler because I just checked I haven't seen the news about him today either about him being placed in the covid list and Joe mixon sounds like he will probably practice on wednesday too. So Possible neither guy winds up being some valuables. Well, what do you think about these two guys if you're filling out waivers for tonight? Yeah, I mean my my thing like the way that I lean is that we've seen Echler So Echler sustained his injury two weeks ago and we've seen Echler then play a game After sustaining that injury. I know that he wasn't, you know, he was like in and out didn't have the typical workload as he typically sees But we've seen him play that game Whereas mixing gets injured at the end of that Broncos game and we haven't seen mixing go yet, right? Like there's there's still that possibility and and I mean let's I mean there's ptsd here But let's not forget about what happened last year at Joe mixon whenever there was this like minor injury with mixon And then he's out for 14 weeks Uh, so yeah, I mean, I I think because of the fact that we've seen Echler and we haven't seen mixon I would go some Ajay P right now. I would also argue that P Rine has more workforce upside than Justin Jackson would If their starter was sidelined, um, and so I'm gonna go just in my back. Am I here? Yes, you are back now. Yep. Okay. All right. Sorry. I would go some Ajay P Rine over Justin Jackson Yeah, with P Rine the only other guy in that backfield is Chris Evans and he's more of a I don't want to say gadgety. That's not the right word But they kind of use him in that way where it's very specialized specialized touches for Chris Evans Whereas like josh will kelly would get work Maybe larry roundtree comes in too. I think that would be the case there for jackson surfer dude wants to know Sadness of thing and Brandon at uke I have a really tough time dropping I uke for a guy on the lions regardless how many targets he's getting I think I'd want a mon ross a brown on my team But I also want brandon. I uke on my team probably above a mon ross a brown. What is your view of these two guys? Yeah, i'm trying to pull up. I uke in my spreadsheets really quick just to make sure that i'm citing it properly Yeah, so this past week he had an 8.3 target share Brandon I uke did which is a big reason healing scored 4.6 ppr points But we had seen up until that point one two three four five six seven seven straight games of of a 20 Percent plus target share and then offense he gets a good matchup against tennessee this week. I think I uke is fine I would I would probably you know at the status right now with jared goff And you're not going to know this information because they're playing on thursday night The 49ers are I would just I would have to just play I uke over saint brown this week because we don't know What's going on with jared goff if we if we knew for sure I think that there's an argument at least for saint brown, but I'm going to go I uke over over saint brown Yeah, I think that if you're looking about dropping I uke, I think surfer dude, unless your team is just loaded You're probably someone better to drop if you're making that decision right now Dr. Rob here Rob needs some upsides. He's down 10 and opponent as mild sanders So in the pursuit of upside are you skewing towards? Antonio Gibson van jefferson divante smith Probably gonna need about 20 I would guess based on you know typical mild sanders usage We're not really sure with jordan howard being there what things look like for the eagles tonight But uh, how do you view the situation? This one's tough because again you have a a correlation type play That could favor you I guess is a negative correlation play between mild sanders and divante smith um, and so I would probably just go with antonio gibson because he's the Just the best play of this group whereas, you know I understand maybe going divante smith because if divante smith's blowing up That means a mild sanders isn't scoring those touchdowns, but i'm gonna i'm gonna probably go with gibson I just think he's the best play overall Yeah, I would agree with that as well. Okay, let's talk here to joseph been stashing some running backs So He needs to drop a couple of guys. Uh, who would you drop between ronald jones, sony michelle, elie michael Joe mixon got a lot of running back shows. So my goodness. Uh, remandre stevensson Deandre swift and jamal williams. Who would you drop in that group? Um, I don't think that you're going to you know, damian harris could be back I think remandre stevensson is one that you could drop Which I don't love to say, but you know, this is a they're all good running back options in general I'd probably go with remandre stevensson And then if you know that jamal williams can't help a team in your league I'd probably go with jamal williams is my other one. I don't think you can drop rojo I don't think you can drop sony right now because what if sony plays tonight and he Is in fact the workhorse back then that means he's like an rb1 from here on out Can't drop elie michael can't drop mixon and swift You know, you can make the argument that he's just not going to play anymore this year But what if they just activate him? Uh, that shoulder isn't as bad anymore and it heals miraculously I just think he has enough upside that you still want to stash him So I would go remandre stevensson and jamal williams I think that the jamal one is easiest one there for me and then I would say stevensson would be too for me as well Uh, larry is looking for streaming defense week 16 eagles are facing. I think it's the giants The giants. Yeah, I think it's the giants and the bills get the patriots. So we're just going eagles here, right Yeah, I think I'd go eagles against jake from yeah, buddy. Yeah, buddy Let's talk to myla over here with you Uh, okay, we can add a thursday starts it That's a little bit tougher because we don't really know elijah michael's situation So myla, I would say hit us up on twitter once we know more about elie michael's health because the practice supports today and wednesday We'll give us what we need to know with regards to him. Okay. Greg needs upside too Yeah, it needs 20 points van jefferson or rishad penny I don't think either of them are gonna get you there. Greg. I'm sorry Uh, I I think that you probably have to go with penny because obj's back You know van's going to be the number three option in the offense I mean, it's good that the tyler higby's out because they might have a more 11 personnel out there Which I mean they usually run a lot of 11 personnel anyway, but uh, you know, I I don't like really mind van But I think if obj was out I might go van but with obj back in I'd probably go penny And really you're just hoping that penny can get a couple goal line touchdowns at the end of Right And who has the better odds of two touchdowns between these two it's rishad penny given these running backs I mean that makes it a pretty easy discussion there dj's looking for some fill-ins we got some questions around the chiefs and Unfortunately for dj blake bell is all on the coven list So We can't go to him the belldozer also out of play Marcus kemp probably not going to be uh, super high on the priority list tyreek is on the uh, the coven list We're looking at Noah gray or we're looking at byron pringle Are there any chiefs who are viable, or do we just kind of say you figure it out? I'll find my starters elsewhere Yeah, I I just you know, I'm thinking about what's on the waiver wire this week in most leagues And there's guys like mvs that are still out there in a lot of leagues, you know, there's On the coven list too. I I think mvs really like uh 10 minutes ago. Yeah. Oh sweet. Awesome Uh, I love it. Love it. Love it. I love fantasy football during a pandemic Uh, so yeah, uh, I mean there are options in general out there Uh, you know, I'll be dropping my 15 transactions episode uh tomorrow. Hopefully that helps a little bit But I just you know, you I understand that they're associated with patrick mahomes And but there's a lot of layers to this to these situations where like number one, you know, they're backups for a reason Right, they're they're not going to necessarily get open at will just because they have patrick mahomes as their quarterback Um, and then you know number two, uh, you you can't You know, you just you don't know what the distribution is going to look like you have no idea what the distribution is going to look like So it's just very very risky to just pinpoint one or two guys from from the chiefs out the waiver wire when Not only that but it wouldn't shock me at this point Just given what they did this past week if they move the chief Steelers to like tuesday of next week Right, uh, and then all of a sudden kelsey and tyreek are both playing So I wouldn't be burning waiver wires, you know, maybe later in the week when we get a better idea Just be active on your waiver wire and get ready to click add But right now it's just really tough to to answer anything like solid like, you know in a concrete way We're going to get the noah gray game after i'm eliminated from my super flex best ball dynasty leagues with where you start two tight ends It's great. Love it. Absolutely. Love it. Let's go to amplified s squire Starts it for tonight. He's got stafford and the rams defense and Needs 35 points total stafford should get you a good chunk of the way there the rams going to get you a little bit as well So not really like I wouldn't use to be an upside equation. I think just pick two personally between DK odell and van jefferson. Where would you go with there? Oh, yeah, I mean, this is even easier because you're picking two, uh, I I just go with dk and obj I think you have to play those two over van right now. Um, because obj is basically their their number two right now Yeah, I'd agree that as well. Okay dj is wondering if we should check out zack gent or gentry with Pat fryer muth. I think he got banged up again this week. Yeah, he gets banged up every week. Yeah Um, no, I wouldn't be looking that direction. I think there are other there are other tight ends I mean, I would rather even go like a cj of zama against the the ravens and go that route instead Yeah, I I'd agree with that too. Okay. Let's talk to andrew over here We talked with terry mcclorn a bit earlier not super high on him But we're also not super high daryl henderson. So who do you prefer between these two? I mean, I I I think henderson's probably the play honestly and I I only say that I just I just think logically terry mcclorn is in a bad bad spot. He's playing one of the best corners in the league He's gonna be matched up against him. Uh, he's got a a eighth string quarterback throwing in the ball And mcclorn has not been good in fantasy regardless like he hasn't been producing that well Um, it's just it not only that but philadelphia has been really good against perimeter I mean just receivers in general this year. And so I'm just not Feeling mcclorn that much. I would rather just go for the upside and potential of henderson And here's the other thing with henderson too If if if the rams do have a positive game script, then they probably cycle both running backs in and out in the second half anyway, right? I don't think it's passing game work regardless. Like I think the passing game role is probably his Yeah, yeah, I would agree. I think that what will this is my prediction for tonight is that sony michelle probably ends up seeing 70 percent of the running back rushes And you know daryl henderson probably sees 30 percent and then henderson probably sees the majority of the passing game work And then sony michelle's the goal line back. That's what I think ends up happening tonight Like that's the most realistic outcome And that means that henderson's going to be usable in some way Especially if a certain game script hits and then there's obviously the upside too that again like we talked about earlier What if henderson's just the guy still, right? Yeah, and so if that happens then then he said, you know, if we if we assumed that henderson was the guy He'd easily be the play over mcclorn. So I'm just going to go with henderson here I'd agree as well. Okay, it's kitty time. Uh, what to do with that press got should I pick up tyler huntley Cam newton, justin fields or still starts at dak. I would say the cowboys are back at home They have not been at home a lot recently. They were on the road the past couple of games. That was some weather tyron smith I've not heard his status this week, but he's a big difference maker. So I think there's a shot he plays not an ir I think that's a good thing for them So how are you in dak? Are you trying to pick up someone on waivers or just sticking with him for right now?   It's like 29 percent Whereas the first eight games of his season. It was like 49 percent and you know, not all of that's him either I mean if you walk, I mean we were tilting about this last week with cd lamb dropping all those passes I mean there were there were instances where dak prescott could have had a decent game last week But his wide receivers weren't helping him which sounds crazy because his wide receivers are good But they just weren't in it last week. So, you know, I like justin fields a lot. Uh, you know, he's running a lot more You know, we're seeing him basically get you a touchdown and a half equivalent On the ground each week just through his rushing yards, but I still think dak is probably the player I'd agree with that too. Okay. Kevin has a dfs question for tonight, which I'll handle Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard I think you look at this and Howard could take goal line work But the guy is going to get the best overall volume and thus is going to give you the best access to a ceiling As Miles Sanders. So I would expect them to split work. I think that boston scott will mix in et cetera, et cetera But I think you're looking for for the best range of outcomes the most favorable range of outcomes Miles Sanders is your guy there Let's talk to it's kitty time looking for a tight end for this week James O'Shaughnessy or Gerald Everett available on waivers I know O'Shaughnessy's face in the jets, but buddy we are getting we are getting into the deeps here. What do you got? Yeah, man. I feel like I've been talking about O'Shaughnessy as like a deep sleeper every week of my sleeper show for the last month Because his peripherals are always like, yeah, you know, he's getting a 15 target share and he'll see six targets But it's the Jags. Um, let's see. I mean, I'll lean Everett just in general With this question But let's also see because last week Everett did lose a little bit of of routes to will disly I think that we might see a little bit more 12 personnel from them today Uh with no Tyler Lockett would just make a lot of sense And Everett also has a revenge game tonight going up against the ramp, which is fun Yeah, so Everett's gonna blow up tonight and then you're gonna want to add him off the waiver wire this week Guaranteed two and a half touchdowns for Gerald Everett. Like that's just that's math. I'm sorry. That's that's how revenge games work You know, uh or benched both of those are very in play. Let's talk to Ryan Tayson Hill or Russell Wilson Tayson Hill facing the dolphins Russell Wilson facing the chicago bears both those teams are at home Preference for you between those two I mean, let's see how rust looks tonight. I think it's close I'd probably lean rust though right now because that that Miami, New Orleans game just looks really really ugly Miami also blitz. I mean, we've seen Miami handle mobile quarterbacks already this season Which is another reason why I'm a little bit antsy to not use Tayson Hill Uh, but let's see how rust looks tonight.  That's a tough situation for sure. Okay, Ryan is asking for Rashad, Penny, Terry McClourin or Van Jefferson a little bit different amalgamation of the same question They've had like a a bunch of times but between these guys you have a favorite I guess Rashad Penny. Yeah, because we've been in that before we've had Rashad versus McClourin, but not Penny versus Jefferson. So we got that one done Uh, so go ahead and Penny there Odell or Devontae Smith I'm going OBJ. I just trust the passing offense a lot more to have volume I think it's Odell by a pretty decent margin, honestly there. Okay, Erin is looking for it starts it for tonight You'll have all these players from these four teams You know, it's always the same dudes too. Okay, so we haven't had Miles Sanders in a lot of these yet I think that's kind of a new addition here. We know Sony over Henderson. We know penny over them if you need floor How are you viewing this one here? I think Sanders is probably a better play over the running back Aside from I would play Sanders Gibson and then probably OBJ in this group I I think that you can make an argument. You know, penny's close, but I think I'm leaning Sanders over penny Okay, kitty time is looking for an ad at wide receiver and ppr for this week Devontae Parker or Gabriel Davis Davis gets the Patriots but had an amazing role this past week And also it's just a good football player Devontae Parker facing the Saints on Monday night That's a tough spot, but and Joan waddles back too. So who do you prefer here? Yeah, I mean look My only fear with it would be Gabriel Davis if we were absolutely guaranteed that Emmanuel Sanders wasn't going to play And we you know, like I like I think it would be idiotic if the bills trot out Emmanuel Sanders after what they've seen from Gabe Davis over the last few weeks I mean, he's leading the nfl and red zone targets over the last three weeks and he's scored four touchdowns I mean, he's just he's dominating a 23 percent target share this past week to me. Gabe Davis is is that the the the high ceiling option Um, and I'd probably lean that way Just because that's the way that I generally go with fantasy football But if you really need like one of those players, uh, you know, if this is like a start-sick question Let's say then you at least will have more information about Gabe Davis's role later in the week depending on Emmanuel Sanders Again, I it would be stupid to throw Emmanuel Sanders out there over Gabriel Davis, but you just don't know you never know I think they were going to make this change There was talk about them making this change before Manny's injury heading into week 14 There was talk about it. So I think I think it's kind of steady But I think is not enough in week 16 of the fantasy playoffs. I think that's a tough situation for sure Okay, final one here from today after looking for a streaming defense for this week the cheese facing the Steelers We have the Seahawks facing the Bears Falcons facing potentially Tim Boyle and the Lions the Jets facing the Jags Preference for you between these four I'm going to go Seattle against Chicago. Uh, Chicago has given up a top 10 performance in four of their last five to defenses And you know, I like Justin Fields as a streamer, but we know that they can also turn the ball over and not score a ton of points Uh, I like Seattle the other thing with Seattle too if you add them this week They get Detroit next week so you could get a twofer by adding Seattle Double dip. Love it. That is the time that we have here for today on the waiver wire Q&A As I mentioned, we do have a Q&A tomorrow with Tom Beckio breaking down NBA DFS So hit subscribe on the fan to a facebook, youtube, twitch or twitter page and swing back here once again tomorrow To talk to Tom for that. We are off on thursday and friday Due to the holidays JJ people want to find your work once 15 transactions is up tomorrow. Where can they get that? It is anywhere podcast can be found is where the 15 transactions show will be and then the article itself will be on numberfire.com And you can find a jj on twitter at late round qb and subscribe to the late round podcast wherever you get your podcasts I'm on twitter at jim sonnis j i m s a n n e s big. Thank you to calvin theobald Our video producer for running the video side of things here today. Thank you cal as always Cole beesley just went on the coven list So yeah, and that's that's 10 days. So gabe davis is going to play. Gabriel davis has been freed What I would guess happens real quick is that if a manual senders is back, he's going to take Cole beesley's slot rule And uh, Gabriel davis is going to feast forever. That is all that we have here for today. We'll talk to you once again later Good luck on tuesday. Good luck in week 16. We'll talk to you once again next week. This has been the waiver wire Q&A


Migrants as messengers is a unique peer-to-peer communications campaign that uses a participatory design approach to inform migrants about the risks of irregular migration. The campaign's innovative approach put the power of a mobile film studio in the hands of returnees who were trained to interview their peers about their experiences as irregular migrants. The results were a catalog of over 5,000 powerful and highly personal stories from trusted voices that were shared widely across social media, radio, and at dozens of community events in Senegal, Nigeria, and Guinea. The scientific evaluation of the campaign in Senegal found the approach made a significant impact on public attitudes and perceptions about irregular migration among young people. To learn more, check out the Impact Evaluation Report of Migrants as Messengers campaign today.


Ego device that that complication that trying to get us away from that. I mean that That to me is Just unending but I like the fact that you said it's never been any different than that It looks maybe fancier schmancier because it's addressing maybe another language that can hook you because you think I'm starting this journey is bringing me home You know what I mean? Yeah, in other words, it becomes another Personality that looks more appropriate and fitting so that we'll fall for it. Yeah, it's just it's like the ego is the multiplication of images It's like it's just a belief, but the world of images keeps seemingly multiplying and multiplying Yes, over and over but one time zero is zero a hundred times zero is zero a billion a trillion times zero is still zero It doesn't Nothing is really getting any more complicated because it's just nothing's changing. It's just an illusion Yeah, and that gets back to the serenity prayer You know if somebody says well, of course sounds interesting, but it's 1200 pages And I don't know that I'm ready for that. How about the serenity prayer? You know what can you change your mind? What can't you change the world and what is the wisdom that knows the difference between that? The real and the unreal but the Holy Spirit so if you want to Collapse the whole course and miracles down into one prayer that that is your serenity prayer It's to accept things as they are right now Yourself the meaning eternal changeless Unending and to let go of the attempt to rearrange the illusion because you can't you know It's just it's trying to rearrange the impossible David in our last four minutes the connecting with the Holy Spirit now. Can you talk a little bit more? We we talk about releasing, but we're still addressing We're or we're moving into the Christ's mind does it take words does it take anything but the surrender? It takes desire desire a little willingness. Yeah the willingness the desire that is the that's where the surrender comes from That's where the the seeming that's not asking too much. No, that's in fact That's that's it. There's anything you could ask for it's just saying God Help me to remember myself, and that's what it really comes down to. Yeah, and so the Holy Spirit Can you help our friends with the Christ mind? We're home. We're in eternity and the Holy Spirit. Yeah, is that a part of it a side of it? Or it's the one that acknowledges or it can see what we're doing, but doesn't see it and yet it's home Yeah, you could say it's like an illusion of a dual function in other words the Holy Spirit remembers heaven and Christ and God but There's an aspect that seems to see the error, but know that it's not real So it looks past the defiled altar and just sees the light now It also says that there's an that there's an aspect of the Holy Spirit that will remain forever with Christ And of course that's the eternal aspect So the voice for God will disappear into Reality in other words a voice is very specific words are still very specific that's the part of the illusionary aspect of the Holy Spirit and What is is just oneness. Yeah, so there will come a point where it's not I Ask the Holy Spirit, but I The Holy Spirit I the whole Spirit and has God created me. Yeah, and that would be we could say asking will Can yet go. Yes. Yes. Yes. Now we use that for a while. We have been using the Holy Spirit We've been asking oh, please help me remember please help me remember it But that the point will come when we just Will remember sink into it without even that step right the end of the Holy Spirit is the end of time And that's and that's and that is now so that's what we can say is that's where it comes to just an experience of being this There's no asker and eski. There's no being that's above and being this below doing the asking in the eternal now Yeah important that you said that that That was yet. That's yet another step Saying I'm not there and I can't do it by myself when in fact we are itself. We are it. Yes We're it holy. Holy. Holy. Yes, holy child of God. Yeah. Yes And we're all the same. Yes One mind, yeah, one mind is is everything nothing apart from that mind So when We forgive Jesus the illusion it's that wasn't the accident was we can do this journey as a man It was that wasn't what it was about, right? That wasn't what it was about. That was the story Christ mind is the actuality is is now is here and now. Yeah That's what it means to accept the atonement. That's that's the correction from the story the horizontal perspective to the vertical perspective if anybody has problems with the cross just forget all the stuff about crucifixion and sacrifice and blood of the Lamb The vertical and the horizontal the vertical remains the horizontal. Yes, it's gone. Well said. That's a beautiful way to Wrap up this program until we talk again. Yes next week Thank you, my friends for joining us on awake in the dream. We will have David back next week. Thank you


So here's a really important distinction. People will come up nowadays and be like, oh, look at our clinically-trialed ingredients. So what that means is you go onto Google, you have a bunch of ingredients, you type in the ingredient, it'll have a clinical trial around it. All of a sudden, you have a clinically-trialed ingredient. So anyone can do that. There's no real filter for that. Absolutely not. No, it's not necessary that I've clinically-trialed my whole product to ensure that every single ingredient in there is working synergistically together, you know? Because just because you can make claims about every single individual product doesn't mean that they're actually working together. In fact, there's studies that show that when you have a bunch of different clinically-trialed ingredients together, it may not be affected.


Oh no, there's only a few chips left. Better check the bag. Five guys come and clutch. No wonder Shack owns so many.


Craig, you're starting to get some nice returns and average out of Chester. But what do you need to start doing to get some more production on kickoff returns? Yeah, I think, well, last week, well, obviously we didn't have a chance to do it because they kicked touchbacks. But we'll continue to work on what we feel like is best to attack our opponent. We just got to make sure we do a heck of a job of getting our double teams, if that's the scheme that we're going to end up using or getting single blocks. And having our returner just going and hitting it as hard as he possibly can. So if we get an opportunity, hopefully we can take advantage of it because our punt return game is doing pretty well right now. But like you said, we've got to really work on and focus on the kickoff return and hopefully gain some field position with that. The missed one at the end of the game was that just didn't work? Or was there something with the relay? Yeah, I mean, we always talk about having a clean operation. And it just comes down to us having a great operation with our snap, our hold, and our kick. And Randy will be the first one to tell you that doesn't really matter what it is. He's going to try to make everything. And unfortunately, it didn't happen, which was, I know Randy was disappointing. He had a good game beforehand. He was kicking the ball really well. And unfortunately, he just didn't make the last one. So I know he's excited to get back at it. And hopefully he'll get another opportunity this week and come through. You had a guy run on late for the second weekend road for a play. What's going on there? Yeah, disappointing, obviously. That's not the operation that we're looking for. We just got to do a better job on the sideline as coaches of getting everyone involved, talking to them beforehand, letting them know which part is coming up. And guys have just got to be aware and focused in on if they're supposed to be on the field, they got to be. But we take that as coaching. We just got to do a better job of getting those guys ready to go. And in the return game, I don't know whether this is the week for Darrington or not, but how much could he help you there when he is ready? Yeah, I mean, obviously, we'll continue to look at Darrington. If he's healthy, he could be back there. If he's 100% ready to go, because he's done it for us last year and had some pretty good returns in the Green Bay game. But if he's practicing, we'll get him some reps and we can see what he can do. You checking on Kerr and how does that process work when you've got a guy who's maybe iffy and if he's not able to go? What did you say from Johnny? How do you think he'll do? Yeah, I mean, I probably check on Kerr in every single minute of the day. You know, it's tough for Brett because I know he wants to be out there. But he's working every day to try to get back. And if he can't go, he can't go. And we need Johnny to go up in there and step up and, you know, punt the ball well that he's capable of doing and just go from there.  We don't have Brett Kern. The next guy's got to come up and do a good job. And hopefully Johnny will do that this week for us. Does it feel that you lose your kicker and your punter to basically really similar injuries, right? It's tough. You know, you go back and look and see what you can maybe do throughout the week. Maybe try to get them stretched out earlier before we can get there. But sometimes it's just fluke things that happen. Whether it's Sam or whether it's Brett, something just happens. It wasn't like Brett just started to warm up when it happened to him. It's just tough and it's frustrating, I know, for the players because they want to be out there helping us out. But hopefully that's all in the past. And we can get guys healthy and come out there and help us win. There's one short punt by Johnny that's kind of more likely to happen when a guy just hasn't punted in a long time. Yeah, I talked to Brett about that. And what could we do to make Johnny more comfortable? And Brett sat there and was like, it happens. He goes, it happened to me. I had a 20-some yard punt a couple years ago. We just got to make Johnny feel comfortable and understand that he's here for a reason. He's an NFL punter. Do what you've done throughout your whole career, whether it's in high school, college, you made it in the NFL. Just go out there and have confidence and go and hit the ball. It's disappointing. Obviously, Johnny doesn't want to punt the ball 12 yards. And he's devastated and he walks off the field. And we've got to go over there and talk to him and say, hey, you know what's most important is your next punt. And then he launches a 63-yarder. So he's got it in him. It's just the whole confidence and building that up on him. And hopefully he can go out and produce this week. Tori's been active for the last couple of weeks. What is he kind of brought to the special teams unit? You think he'll keep getting opportunities? Yeah, I mean, he's got to continue to work. He just brings such a passion for playing, whether it's full back or special teams. He's into it on the sideline. This kid loves football. And I know that's a term that gets thrown out a lot. But you see the energy and the passion that he plays with. And whether he's not even on the field rooting on his teammates, we just got to continue to work with him and get him better. And if his name gets called up, he's got to produce. So we're excited about Tori. And hopefully he can continue to help us win. But were some of the guys that could be options if Ray C isn't able to go because obviously he didn't practice? After the game? Yeah, obviously Nick Westbrook has played a gunner for us. He got a lot of opportunity on offense last week. But he's a guy that will always be in our minds. Chris Jackson started off as a gunner for us last year at the Denver game. He could be another option. But there's plenty of guys that we've worked with in the preseason depending on who's up and who's not. But we'll have a guy come in there and step up. And hopefully do a good job for us. Coach Rob Moore has said that special teams played a part in whether or not Josh Reynolds is up or down. We talked to Josh. He said that he's played special teams in the past. Is there anything there just as far as why he's not involved in special teams? Sure. Early on he was a gunner when he was with the Rams. So we just felt like we had Dane, Westbrook, Ray C, guys that could go in there, maybe not play as much on offense. But we already talked to Josh early on in the week. And he said he's ready to go if needed be. And playing at gunner, I know Rams were throwing him passes, all that stuff when he was out there too. So if we asked Josh to go out there and play gunner, he said he's ready to go. And if we need him on anything else, he said he's ready. What are maybe points and emphasis this week hitting the Jags game? What do they do well? Obviously they got a dangerous returner. Jamal Agnew has been a really good returner. Whether he was at Detroit, he already has two touchdowns this year. Just a dangerous return man that we obviously got to do a great job with our punts, our kickoffs. And then we got to do a great job with our coverage units going down there and tack on them. Because he's a weapon. And any time he touches the ball, he can score a touchdown. They got a good core group too. I know they're big physical guys that can run a little bit. So we've got to do a great job with those guys. And it feels like we say that every single week. But we're going to be matching up one on one with those guys. And we've got to win our individual battle. So it'll be a good test for us. What's the exited level for you like on potential game winning kicks? You had one that went through, one that didn't. I mean, how do you handle that on the sideline? Well, you say prayers. You know, you just obviously hope for the best. And these guys put the work out during practice. We give them situations during practice to hopefully help them out during the games.   So they go out there and do it. And you just hope for the best. And knowing that they are put in the time to help them succeed, you just always hope it works out for them.


What's up everybody, Jason here for JaspysCaseBricks.com. 2022 tops five star baseball. Just sold out eight box case break picket teams number 17. And after that last case guys, I would love to run back another one of these and I'm glad we did. See if we can beat that case.  Jason K gets last ball mojo game, guy game of nationals hit. We got another case of five star guys. Again, this one actually is Saranwrapped. The last one wasn't though, but. I figured that was just like a little bit of a typo. So let's see. And there you go. Last ball mojo, already striking. Josiah Gray for Jason K. And a little Mark McGuire, nine out of 10. Going to the Oakland A's Jeremy Port. I've got a really thick one coming up. That is Matt Manning. And it's a button, Pudge Rodriguez. Four out of five for the Texas Rangers. Very nice hit right there. Texas, Jeremy Port. Nice little button auto. And then Detroit of course is Kev. Next one, very light pack. So I think we got a redemption in there. We have to 10. Redovo Castro and let's see the redemption. Five star base autograph of Julio. Finally guys, Jesus. I feel like I've been chasing this guy forever. Seattle Mariners striking Michael L. Even though it's just a base, it's still Julio. Very nice first couple of good boxes right here. McGuire, little Yvonne Rodriguez button, and now Julio. Sweet, sweet. All right, let's continue on. We have out of 30, Yasmine Grandal and a Hunter Green. Cincinnati Red Towered, Yasmine Grandal White Sox is Ed. Yeah, I've noticed this 2022 class has had a pretty good penmanship for the most part. Zaka for the Metz. And at a 75, Jason Veritech for the Red Sox. And then Metz is Howard. Todd, you got that Veritech there. All right, we got a Brian de la Cruz for the Miami Marlins, going to Jared. And how about a little Donnie baseball, Don Maddenly, Goldengrass. One of 40 and Yankees is Michael L. Wait, I think someone earlier was mentioning like why would they put Veritech on the five-way auto, but I figured he's probably a really popular Red Sox that people love and I mean, I guess other than that, right? Riley Adams. And we have a CJ Abrams. Just a base it looks like, not numbered. And that is going to the San Diego Padres and Ben. And then Jason K, of course, with that last spot mojo again. All right, last box, yes. Getting a lot of Josh Lowe raise the last couple of breaks, but Tyler, hey, you're not going to hit this, but. And then Purple, I forget what Purple's out of 10 maybe. Wow, out of 50 actually. Nolan Ryan. Astros edition, Nolan Ryan, Howard. 38 out of 50. Nolan Ryan. Little CJ Abrams, Donnie baseball, Veritech. There's Monty Granddell and Hunter Green, Redulfo, Julio Redemption, Pudge Budden and Mark McGuire. And just like that guys, another case done. And we're 18's in the store, we'd love to run back another one if you guys want, JasperysCaseBricks.com.
