the notable names of the players who landed on
the covid-19 reserve list yesterday Tyree kill joining Chiefs tight
end. Travis Kelce now both are vaccinated both have
the opportunity to get back but you know this new procedure for
getting back. I don't know if it's getting
guys back any faster than the old procedure. Chris. We're
still waiting for Baker Mayfield to come back a week
after he got put on the covid-19 reserve list. So
the Chiefs could be down some key players as the
dealers are coming to town
for a game that the Steelers desperately need. And yeah,
Andy Reid express some remorse for being in the
number one seed in the AFC because that seems to be
the hot seat and the spot where you don't last very long. All
right, somebody's gonna knock you off the hill,
right? And
the Chiefs if they don't have a hill or Kelsey or both. They
got a problem.
Yeah, no doubt about it. I mean, they need them. I mean
tackle Lucas, and you know, niang.
I mean, of course, be nice to
Have him there. I mean, yeah, there's there's that's
concerning Tyree kills huge for their offense. We've talked
about it
and I'll Kelso. I mean,
it's Tyreke and Kelsey. That's what they do,
and they feed off of each other. And when you over defend
one, the other one kind of Tears, you apart more times
than not. So that would be huge. It'd be a huge break for
the Pittsburgh Steelers football team. It really would
be
let alone you know. Again, what do we this Chris Jones? I feel
like we haven't heard him back officially
and all and then to
Not have a, Nick Bolton and a Rashad Fenton. Who's a group?
Good nickel Corner?
Yeah, those would be big blows to who, to a Chiefs team, whose
of course, hot on the defensive side of the ball.
That's a good point on Chris Jones. We just kind of forgot
about him because they won the game. Yeah, right. There was
no, there was no lamenting after the fact. Well, if they
would have had Chris Jones, they would have won the game.
They still won the game. So you just kind of forget
that that guy wasn't there. But yeah, yeah, they've got
an issue now, and they've, they've got seven that were placed on
yesterday. In addition to the others.
We're We're moving toward the new testing protocol and
procedure. But the problem is, if you have guys who are
testing positive, then they're going to do high-risk close
contact testing of vaccinated players to see if other
guys are positive even if they're asymptomatic
and if they test them and they're positive, they're going
to end up on the covid-19 reserve list as well. So
there's no guarantee that this is going to be all easily solve
just because they've changed the protocols. Meanwhile Cole
Beasley test positive and he's unvaccinated as we. Well. No,
and I do have a level of respect for him.
All he had to do was
go get a fake vaccination card. Like, Antonio Brown did, he
says, he has mild symptoms. Thank you for your support. The
rules
are the thing that are keeping him out, not the covid virus
because he has no symptoms, but the rules for unvaccinated
players continue to be. If you are positive, you are out ten
games. Minimum that was part of the incentive to get
vaccinated.
He chose not to get vaccinated. He knew the rules.
He's right. The rules are keeping him out. These are
the rules that the union, the league agreed to He's out for
10 days. He's lucky. It didn't happen on a Saturday or Sunday.
Then he would've been out two games. But as
it stands, he's going to miss the most important game of
the year so far for the bills. I mean, really important game.
I mean really important game really important role within
their offense first off.
I mean the bills that they're not that talented on offense
as we've discussed before,
you know, they don't run the ball. All that. Well,
now you got to play the Patriots again, who don't have
to worry that worried about defending him, you know, a run
game that has like A real, you know, noticeable element within
this bills offense.
He got Stefon, Diggs great,
but Cole Beasley the guy that does the slot stuff and you
know, is there Julian Edelman for that offense. Now, they're
not going to really have a guy to be that guy and that
offense, one, less thing for the Patriots to worry
about, you know, that's, that's where it stinks, you know, and
that's where again. Yeah, he's not vaccinated and I respect
that,
that's fine. That's his decision.
But, you know, this is the consequence.
Here you are. This is like this was The Nightmare of Sean
McDermott right here. This is why before training camp. He
was worried. It's all come to a head weight. The most important
Game of the Year.
Oh, no, against the maybe, the best defense in football,
certainly, the best pass defense and we can only pass
now. We don't have the guy who kind of like reads coverages
and does the little stuff for our offense.
I mean, that's that's horrible. That's a big injury for
the bills and it's, it's going to cost them.
Injury tolis re not injure. Absolutely. And and look, these
are the rules. We know what they are and 11 Point real
quick. You saw Mark was Valdez scantling's name on there for
the Packers. Any time. You see a guy test
positive? Now you think oh boy. Oh, Aaron Rodgers unvaccinated.
He could be a close-contact. Remember he has a 90-day window
where he's not subject to that or testing. So
Packers fans don't have to worry about the possibility of
Rogers. Being a close contact to Mark was Valdez scantling.
That rule does not apply to him and Till two days after the NFC
Championship, if they are still alive, at that point.
