The guys show some concern for a few injuries, specifically a knee injury to Derrius Guice and shoulder injuries to George Kittle and Matt Breida. Looking at the new look Browns, Dane and Scott agree that the offense looks much better, and Tyrod Taylor will keep Baker Mayfield on the sidelines for a while. On the other side of the Browns-Giants game, the guys agree Saquon Barkley, other than his first 39-yard rush, looked very much like a rookie, unsure of what to do. Looking at the Chiefs, Dane says thanks to a poor secondary and a strong offense, Kansas City will be playing in games with "Arena Football" type scores. Dane and Scott will be attending tonight's Jets-Falcons game, and the guys look at what they will see from top rookies in Sam Darnold and Calvin Ridley, respectively.
