We have the Bucks at the Saints.
The Saints are 3.5 point underdogs likely because they are also starting a rookie ad three rookie and Spencer Rattler, who at one point was kind of the guy of his class before I transfer to South Carolina.
I gotta be up K Williams stuff happened, kind of reclaimed his career.
Dude’s got a lot of talent that this is a natural football thrower.
Um, some of that watched the Sec Charles.
What, what do you have any thoughts on Spencer Rattler also on just going into this game?
Uh, how do you kind of maybe think it shapes up against this Bucks defensive Todd Bowls?
The things don’t want to be tied to Derek Carr.
You know, like if you can come in here and show some stuff over however long he’s out, that would actually be a pretty big deal for his future and the team’s future.
I don’t want to get too ahead of myself because I think when you’re looking at, you know, even as, even though I think he, he married a higher draft pick, he still was a pick round pick, still got to you know, give him the runway to be bad.
But this is a, I, I do think that this, he’s a pretty good fit in this offense because uh you’re talking about the athletic requirements.
So we usually talk for Shanahan three quarterbacks.
Uh I think he should fit right in.
He’s got the live arm.
I think he’s more accurate than people probably remember him being uh at South Carolina.
So I think that this could, this could actually work out.
Uh But, you know, Bulls is still a tough defense to go against in your first start.
The Bulls Bulls, like I know that this, this Tampa Bay defense hasn’t been like down to down what we’ve expected, but it’s still a lot coming at you.
If you’re a rookie quarterback, this was actually a good landing spot for him.
Like this really was as far as just kind of trajectory, get a chance.
I mean, obviously he’s getting a real chance here, but even going into this draft process, I know he ended up in the fifth round.
I had rattler in the same tier as Nick and Pennis and I had rattler above him like slightly but above him.
I think this, he really has talent.
I do think there is a chance for him to be a starter in this league.
We’ll see what we got here, you know, it’s hard, but we’ll see what we got.
So, and like you said, throwing on the move is an important thing in this offense and he throws really well in the move.
So not ideal going against his Bucks defense, going against Bulls.
But let’s see, let’s see what you got.
