1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: If you've ever stopped at a railway crossing and the

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: signals are flashing and you don't see the train, or

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: it looks like it's moving slow, and you're thinking maybe

4
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 1: you could get across the tracks before the train comes.

5
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: Think about this. In eighteen alone, two hundred seventy people

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 1: were killed at railroad crossings. Two hundred and seventy. So

7
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: stop because trains can't. Wow, What is up? Welcome to

8
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: another edition of the NFL Fantasy Live Podcasts, Make Your

9
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: Man MG Marcus Graham alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: Michael Fabiano and Graham Barfield and Happy Draft Week Fellas. Yeah, man,

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: got a little, uh, a little fun coming up the

12
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: next few days. Uh, it's it's kind of flown by.

13
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 1: I feel like the last like ten days have kind

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: of flown by an anticipation for this. So the last

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: three months have flown by. Yeah, you know this. This

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 1: draft season has been faster I think than others. I

17
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: mean maybe because I personally have had some other things

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: going on that have kind of distracted my atte go on.

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: Nothing nothing at all, nothing at all, um, But yeah,

20
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: it had a new human. It has gone from the

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: combine to the draft and it feels like what feels

22
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: like a record amount of time. So um, we will

23
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: have on today Emory Hunt, who if you don't know,

24
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: you should you should find out. He is maybe the

25
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: hardest working man on draft Twitter. You can read him

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: at the Athletic, you can read him in any number

27
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: of places. We'll get him on to talk about some

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: of the prospects here, especially because Emory uh goes deep.

29
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 1: He studied about eight hundred guys. He gets into the

30
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: smaller school guys as well, so we'll sort of pick

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: his brain as we lead up to the draft. Also

32
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: a chance to remind you we will have a second

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: podcast later on this week. We will do another one

34
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: on Friday in which we will recap obviously night one. Um,

35
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, we will maybe dig into the other nights,

36
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: but probably not so much, but we'll definitely go back

37
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: and look at what happened that first night and kind

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: of give you a recap on how we feel about

39
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: what went down there. So uh, that's that. But before

40
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: we get too far into the school behind the glass,

41
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: our normal producer, Eddie Murphy is in Nashville getting ready

42
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: for said draft and still sitting in the day We're

43
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: very glad to have can't Brown back with us. Can't

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: tell you do it? Man, I'm doing well. I'm excited

45
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: for the draft as well. It's going to be a

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 1: good week. And what's fun about it is we think

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: we know a lot. We say we know a lot,

48
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: and then two nights from now, we're gonna be like, what,

49
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: maybe we'll get five of the right and the other

50
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: twenty seven picks will be like, Okay, I could see

51
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: why they would take that team, that player, but none

52
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: of us really know what's gonna has the Is there

53
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: a website out there that actually documents like which of

54
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: the big experts actually got the greatest percentage of first

55
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: round picks? Correct? Probably there's gotta be, and it's gotta

56
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: be wicked. Loads think there's some mock draft actoracy. Actually,

57
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it comes to pulls down

58
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: to like, do you just get the names in the

59
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: first round right? Because it's so hard to pick the teams.

60
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: You can get the names in the first round, right,

61
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: you're doing pretty well, especially especially with you know, trades

62
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: and stuff, just throws everything up. If you can get

63
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: like eight of thirty two even remotely accurate, that's a

64
00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: good moth. Yeah, if you can get like but if

65
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: you can get like five of the thirty two names,

66
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: that's really that's pretty solid. All right, So you got

67
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 1: we got a full show. Of course, we will do

68
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: a quick g ot recap because because episode just hit,

69
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get over that all the fields man in

70
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: episode two. So we'll get to that end. We'll first

71
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: let's do some news. The Bills continue to confound with

72
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 1: their running back room. They signed t J. Yelled in

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: to a two year contract, so fabs now they got

74
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: Sean McCoy, had Frank Gore, they got t J. Yelled.

75
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask how you feel about it, but

76
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: I think you just told me about not one. You know,

77
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: by the way, they might draft running back. I would

78
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: be surprised if they don't draft running back. Actually yeah,

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: watch they'll go and get Montgomery, which I think would

80
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: be a tremendous fit long term. But I mean, that's

81
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: turning out to be a backfield to a void. Just

82
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: at all calls, You don't, I just don't understand what's

83
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: happening there. I don't. They got two dudes who are

84
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: combined like sixty seven. Then you bring in a pass

85
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: catching running back in t J. Elden. They they signed

86
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: a bunch of wide receivers. I don't know that offense

87
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: is going to be potentially very uh fantasy unfriendly. I mean,

88
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: you know what it is. It's this offense so far,

89
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: it's sort of like it's like a college meal, right

90
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: when you're like, it's you don't have any money, your

91
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: work study check hasn't come in yet, and so you're

92
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: just pulling whatever you can find in the fridge together

93
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: and you're like, whatever, man, this is gonna do it.

94
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 1: It's like buttered noodles. Remember that time the Bill has

95
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: traded for Antonio Brown for like an hour. Yeah, and

96
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: then he Lea said nope, uh t J. Yelden, that's

97
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe not. Yeah. The Texans, their wide

98
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: receiver Will Fuller says he should be ready four week

99
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: one coming off an a C. L tear. Uh. It's

100
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: great news, Graham. I mean, I guess the thing a

101
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: little Fuller is, he's just he just has to stay

102
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: on the field. When he's on the field, everything's great.

103
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: He just has struggled to stay healthy so far. Yeah,

104
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: we've seen to Shaun Watson have like pretty enormous splits

105
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: like Will Fuller being a lid lifter really does help

106
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: the rest of this offense. It helps DeAndre Hopkins see

107
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: a little bit less pressure in terms of his coverage,

108
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: obviously helps Deshaun Watson. Um, we just we just have

109
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 1: to help him. Pray he stays healthy because he's dealt

110
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: with so many Nixon bruises and now is a speed

111
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: guy coming off in a c L tear. Um. I

112
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: don't know. I hope he. I hope he's healthy because

113
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: he's been a legitimate difference makers when he's on the field,

114
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: but he just hasn't been on the field enough. I mean,

115
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: I think having a healthy will Fuller is good news

116
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: for Kiki Qt as well. I mean, he he had

117
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: a couple of really big games, but I feel like

118
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: after a few weeks folks sort of caught on a

119
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: little bit and we didn't hear much from him. But

120
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: I think having will Fuller there again, you mentioned him

121
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: being a lid lift or that that opens things. I Mean,

122
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: we know Nuke, he's gonna be Nuke. He's gonna be fine,

123
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: But having will Fuller there and healthy is a is

124
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: a big deal. I think for Kiki Qt. Uh, Duke

125
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: Johnson says he wants to be TATD. He wants out

126
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 1: of Cleveland. Understandably, it's hard for him to kind of

127
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: find any traction there. Uh, They've got a great running

128
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: back in Nick Chubb and now they have Kareem Hunt.

129
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: Uh they have we know they got the Jervis Landry

130
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: and Odell Beckham at wide receivers. So understandably, Duke Johnson's

131
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: feeling sort of left out, But it doesn't sound like

132
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: the Browns have any plans to trade him. Um facts,

133
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about going on on Twitter and starting a

134
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: hashtag like free Duke Johnson because he's just he's sort

135
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 1: of wasting away and cli I'm telling you this is

136
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: all just he's gonna get traded. He's gonna get traded, Okay,

137
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: Um that I don't know that the relationship between Freddie

138
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: Kitchens and Duke Johnson is all that healthy and it's

139
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: not going to get better, especially after they added Kareem Hunt.

140
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,559
Speaker 1: So I would still be surprised, even though you're hearing

141
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: this stuff about how the Browns aren't giving him away.

142
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: There's a valuable assole pass catching running back and a

143
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: lot of teams could use him. They're not going to

144
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 1: give him away, but I'd really be surprised if he's

145
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: still with the Browns heading into It could happen because

146
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: you you have to wait, you know, nine ten games

147
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: until you're gonna get greem Hunt back. But it's still

148
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: a situation where I'd be surprised if he's not dealt.

149
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm with you, fabs. Um, there's just been too much

150
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: smoke about Duke Johnson getting traded and um, this is

151
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: a very weak running back class to say the least,

152
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: and I woul would not be surprised if a team

153
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: felt the need to, you know, flip the Browns like

154
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: a fifth or six round pick for for Dukie anywhere

155
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: anywhere you guys can think of out the top of

156
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: your head, that would be a good landing spot. Philly, Yeah,

157
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean Philly has been I think they've been linked

158
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: to so many running backs basically, Yeah, you'd have like

159
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: a you know, Joe Ho, Duke Johnson, and then everybody

160
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: else basically fades back into the depth chart. I doubt

161
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: Roseman trades another pick for right So yeah, no, yeah, yeah,

162
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: that that that doesn't seem quite right. But yeah, we'll

163
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: see if Duke Johnson stays in Cleveland. Doesn't seem that way,

164
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: and hopefully not. It's a guy that I loved coming

165
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: out of the U. Uh. He just he just never

166
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: ended up in a situation that was complete be favorable.

167
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: I was thinking Raiders too, but now they resigned Jalen

168
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: Richard who was restricted. So who knows. But I would

169
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: be surprised if Duke is, uh, what about Miami going back?

170
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: Go back, go back to Miami, go back to the

171
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: South Florida, going back to the home. I mean he'll

172
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: get plenty of opportunity. That's the last thing the Dolphins

173
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: need for fantasy Confused, No, not a good fantasy fit. Um.

174
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: All right, so we've we've talked plenty about the tight

175
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: end position this year. Hopefully what it is going to

176
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: be a more deep, a deeper position this year. Austin Hooper,

177
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: since he plans extra work with Matt Ryan after O

178
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: t A s they're sort of breaking in a new offense.

179
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: The Falcons have sort of been on the hunt for

180
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: equality tight end ever since Tony Gonzalez left. UM. I

181
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: don't know if this gets either of you guys really

182
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: excited about Austin Hooper, but he's gonna have the opportunity to,

183
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, to maybe make some plays if things work

184
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: out well. He was the top ten. Yeah, I mean,

185
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: I know, we say I know at it because bad season.

186
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think Hooper is what he is, Like,

187
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: He's not a guy that I'm gonna get super excited about.

188
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: There's there's so many good young tight ends. You've got

189
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: three or four coming out in the draft as well,

190
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: Like I'm way more excited about Hunter Henry and I'm

191
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: excited about O. J. Howard. But if Hooper is my

192
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 1: tight end one when I come out of my drafts,

193
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be feeling that great about it.

194
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: He's just so so low upside because he's averaged no reliability.

195
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: It's like it's like three yards um. There's just no

196
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: vertical element into his games, right right. One of the

197
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: last piece of news this just popped up on my

198
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Twitter timeline as we were sitting here talking. Jonathan Stewart's

199
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: signs a one day contract to retire as a Carolina Panther.

200
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: So we won't have Jonathan Stewart to to kind of

201
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: kick around anymore. But this is a guy who, you know,

202
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: at his best it was not a bad fantasy running back.

203
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: He had injury issues, but he was a quality running

204
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: back when he when he came out of college, a

205
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of fantasy folks, including myself or

206
00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,839
Speaker 1: high on him. I thought he was gonna be a

207
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: pretty darn good RB two type. Yeah. Um, you know,

208
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: he spent a lot of time kind of platooning in

209
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: the backfield with the Angelo Williams there in Carolina. That

210
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: was like the big headache. That was a big headache

211
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: for It's Stewart. It's day. I mean, who's going to

212
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: get the football? Yeah, Marty Hernie drafting to running backs

213
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: there and then giving him both like equal opportunities. That

214
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: was enough. Jonathan Steward had a great career. Though. If

215
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: you play eleven years in the NFL running back, that's

216
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: a fantastic that's a pretty good career. So congratulations to

217
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart on his career. Enjoy retirement. I would say

218
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: that as fantasy folks, certainly enjoyed watching you play, and

219
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: that is pretty much everything you need to know. Well,

220
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: we have spent plenty of time talking about the draft

221
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: just between the three of us, and so with the

222
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: draft coming up in a couple of days, I figured

223
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: it'd be smart to get somebody else in to talk

224
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 1: about it with us. So I went to my Twitter

225
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: rolodex and I found Emory Hunt, friend of the program

226
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: we had over the summer before the season started, but

227
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: he works for he writes for the Athletic UH. He's

228
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: in any number of places. You can find him on

229
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: Twitter at f Ball, game Plan, arguably the hardest working

230
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: man on Draft Twitter. Welcome back to the podcast, and

231
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: we appreciate you taking some time with this. How you doing, man,

232
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm doing fine, man. I appreciate you guys to have

233
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: me all yeah. Well, I want to just get started

234
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: with with the quarterbacks because they seem to be at

235
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: the top of every draft. And I know you are

236
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: very high on Dwayne Haskins. You have you have sung

237
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: his praises on Twitter quite a bit. I know the

238
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: knock on him is that he is not a mobile guy.

239
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: He's kind of a big statue in the pocket, which

240
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be the way the NFL is going.

241
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: Explain to me why you are so strong on on

242
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins. Well, I just find it funny. First of all,

243
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: that last year he had a quarterback in Lamar Jackson,

244
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: as people say to stay in the pocket, canny, stay

245
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: in the pocket. Can he make grows from the pocket?

246
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: And this year is Dwayne Haskins stays in the pocket

247
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: too much. So I can't but what the what the

248
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: people want to go with. But as far as half

249
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: to it's concerned when you look at how the sightsive

250
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: he is and how consistent he is from an accuracy

251
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: and placement standpoint, to me, it's it's just so impressive

252
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: to watch. And I remember watching him and passing back

253
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 1: in September and this was September. I remember exactly because

254
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 1: head into a broadcast now I'm watching Ohio State first

255
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: half and I'm like, wow, this is the best quarterback

256
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: in the country. And I just left it at that,

257
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: And it was clear that he's doing things that looks

258
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: like a pro veteran would do. And a lot of

259
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 1: times when people make the you know, the comment about

260
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,599
Speaker 1: him being uh, you know, just throwing dump balls to

261
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: throwing cross and routes, but a lot of that comes

262
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: from what he's seeing pre snap to make what he

263
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: does post snap looks that much easier for everyone to feeling.

264
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: So I just think from a from a total quarterback

265
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: and standpoint, despite not having Columnarra's athleticism, he's definitely mobile

266
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: enough in the pocket to make throws and he's very

267
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: accurate at all levels of the field. Okay, so you've

268
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 1: got Kyler and you got half Can probably your top

269
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: two in some order. Who is your number three quarterbacks?

270
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: I feel like he gets muddled at that point. I

271
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: actually like Drew Lock. And one thing that I'm being

272
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 1: on when I look at prospects, especially as the quarterback

273
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: position is situational football. How well do you play under pressure?

274
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: How well do you manage the situation? And I thought

275
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: last year Lock was terrible in that regard. This year

276
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: was remarkably better, uh as far as managing the situation,

277
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: and that's why he had to success. The head this

278
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: year is just suposed the last year when he threw

279
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: over forty testdowns. But this year here is much for efficient,

280
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: made better decisions inside the red zone, and therefore Malory

281
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: had much more success. So I think he got better situationally,

282
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: which is why his stock kind of rose in my

283
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: eyes over this past season. Hey, Emery, Michael Fabiano here,

284
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: Good Tomty, thanks for joining us on the show. Here

285
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: so sticking with the quarterback theme, there's been some rumbling

286
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: going on about Daniel Jones and potentially Jones being the

287
00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: top quarterback on a certain team's board that might be

288
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,439
Speaker 1: in New York, the team that doesn't need a quarterback.

289
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: What do you what are your thoughts about Daniel Jones

290
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: and his prospects for for NFL success. You know, it's

291
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: I put this out there a couple of days ago.

292
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: When you talk about a prospect, and the first couple

293
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: of things you mentioned are you know cut Cliff and

294
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: cut Cliff work with Manning and Daniel Jones knows Eli

295
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: and they also played at the passing camp before you

296
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: even get to what he does as a football player.

297
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: That's like a huge rid flag because if you're excited

298
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: about a prospect, you're gonna tell me everything that he

299
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: does really well, and he don't get that until maybe

300
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: twenty minutes into the conversation. Daniel Jones, and so when

301
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: you talk about him, and I always use his nessess

302
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: as well. For guys that are playing at quote unquote

303
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: non flashy programs are small schools. Your team should be

304
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: in contention, whether or not you have to challenge or not.

305
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: We talked about Daniel Jones not having weapons and all

306
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: of that, all of those things, but you had the

307
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: team out in Boise, Idaho consistently winning with teams with

308
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: prospects from you know, all across the country, but going

309
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: to Boise, Idaho and they're beating Virginia Tech. They're beating

310
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: all these big name programs. That's what you expect to

311
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: see from a Daniel Jones. That's how you want to

312
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: see guys show up in situations that are not advantageous

313
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: for you to make that jump to the NFL. We

314
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: saw Carston wanted Task successes in North Dakota State. We

315
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: see all these other programs outside of of DO which

316
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: is a powerfi program and the AEC the less not

317
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: have success. And then when you look at his numbers,

318
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: it's so pedestrian and average that I just wonder, you know,

319
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: why is this happening for a guy like him, and

320
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: and it's it's hurting him in the long run because

321
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna get overdrafted, which is great for his pocket,

322
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be bad for his football legacy. Um.

323
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: You know, we spent we talked about the running backs,

324
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: and generally people seem down on this running back class.

325
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 1: But I know you've written quite a bit about some

326
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: of these guys. You've been to a lot of the

327
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: regional combines in the pro days and that sort of thing.

328
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: Um And I read you wrote on Flow Football about

329
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: the three sleeper running backs and one of them was

330
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: Wesley Field, and you sort of made the point Georgia

331
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: Southern has kind of become a place to go to

332
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: find some quality running backs. I know you and Matt

333
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: Walden were sort of on that that same that same plane.

334
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: Talk to me about Wesley Fields and why we maybe

335
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: should pay attention to this guy. First of all, it's

336
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: just a breakaway threat coming in front the position. I'm

337
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: always gonna be a big fan of guys that can

338
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: get the home run because that makes my job as

339
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: a coach so much easier. To be able to turn

340
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: around a handball to a Barry Sanders and just let

341
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: him do his thing. I look like a great play caller.

342
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: But when you look at Wesley Fields coming from Georgia

343
00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: Southern that used to be the not for a long time,

344
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: that option running back really didn't have the vision or

345
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: the natural running skills that you see guys coming from

346
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: traditional offenses. But when you watch Fills front, you see

347
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: he has all of those reclusit nuances that you look

348
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: for from a back, whether it's running into being able

349
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: to see the back by defender and cut it back

350
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: against the grain. And I think because of he started

351
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: his career, you know, with the bank, but he was

352
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: also in that mix with Jerick McKinnon and all these

353
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: other guys that uh that have Matt Breta, that have

354
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: going on to have success that he kind of got

355
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: lost in the shuffle, but that also as a testament

356
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: to how well they are able to recruit, how well

357
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: they're able to develop. And for him, he doesn't have

358
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: the quote unquote miles that people talk about, and he's

359
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: trekking in the right direction. You have the injury and

360
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: kind of lost in Brown, but now he's back healthy,

361
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: a guy that's being vastly underrated, and I think he's

362
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 1: going to end up in the camp and be another

363
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: one of these surprise players that not only made the

364
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: team but ends up making an impact. Emery, I know,

365
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: I was reading one of your pieces on the Athletic

366
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, and it seemed like you're

367
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: really high Underrell Henderson he's actually, uh my number two

368
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: running back in the class. I kind of want to

369
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 1: get your just general thoughts on Henderson and why he

370
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: in your opinion, why do you think he's so explosive

371
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: and so um ready for the NFL, and why he

372
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: thinks why do you think he's such a great fit

373
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: early on in his career. One aspect about playing a

374
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: position that a lot of people don't understand is is

375
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: you know, when you're seeing things two and three frames ahead,

376
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: you're able to run with confidence. That's the difference between

377
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson and his backup in the same offense. Now,

378
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: Henderson only had eight more carries in his backup, but

379
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: average nine almost nine or other carry nearly two thousand

380
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: yards in twenty two Russian touchdowns. So if I'm able

381
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: to see things prior to it it happening, I'm able

382
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: to anticipate, and I'm able to maintain my speed and

383
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: play fat. So you're seeing him be able to see

384
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,479
Speaker 1: this in real time, and that's why it looks like

385
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: this guy is running through gaping holes, but he's anticipated

386
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: with the holes are so as it's happening, he's hitting

387
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: it at the right time. He's able to destroy angles

388
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: because of his feet and explosive this and when you

389
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: have a guy moving that's fast, Yeah, that's a simple physics,

390
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna be powerful. So I think he braced a

391
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: lot of arm tackles. He's also explosive his passing. His

392
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: pass catching is underrated because he wasn't asked to catch much,

393
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: but he was able to catch a few pass to

394
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: where you see, Okay, he's comfortable catching a football. I

395
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: think because of his home run element. That's what you

396
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: want in the backfield, especially in today's game where you're

397
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 1: not going to get the guys you know, the football

398
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: to thirty times the game. As far as carries are concerned,

399
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 1: you have to be able to hit that home run

400
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: within the fifteen and Henderson is that guy. Has proven

401
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: it over the last two seasons because last year the

402
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 1: average hearly nine yards of carries carry. Again in an offense, Uh,

403
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: talking to Emory Hunt. You can find him at the athletic,

404
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: you can find him at flow football. I was reading

405
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: through your pro day kind of recaps or whatever, and

406
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: the thing that jumped out to me right, well, armstatic.

407
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 1: I didn't. I don't think a lot of people are

408
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: talking about but you kind of projecting him as an

409
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: RB one RB two kind of bell cow guy. Um,

410
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: how much have you seen? What do you like about him?

411
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm going and scouted a couple of simple games over

412
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: the last four to five years. And this is back

413
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: when Joha Thomas was starting tail back and I remember

414
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: watching them try to close out of game and they're

415
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: they're in their four minute offense. Uh with another one

416
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: of my favorite prospects and p J Walker, who's QB

417
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: three right now for the Indian applets goes holding out.

418
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: They're strong, but they went to this young guy right well,

419
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: Arms said, to close up the game. He ended up

420
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: ripping off like a Sephanie Pickture touchdown run. Like, man,

421
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be okay when Jeha Thomas goes

422
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: on to the NFL. And Arms said, just he fits

423
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: the mold of the physical runner, explosive runs through contact,

424
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: runs behind his past, doesn't run high to where he's

425
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: getting constantly knocked over and taking unnecessary shot. But he

426
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: has a good natural field for the position. And when

427
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: you look at how Temple ran the football and the

428
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,360
Speaker 1: Matt rule it was it was perfect because it helped him,

429
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: you know, develop his game, developed that vision, uh in

430
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: that nuance that you looked for outside of him going

431
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: to the spread offense. Now, so I thought he was

432
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: telling me for the pro game even as a freshman

433
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: and sophomore, and he just has gotten significantly better each

434
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: and every year to where now no one is really

435
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: talking about him. I think would really has him underrated

436
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 1: in his classes because he had some injury concerns throughout

437
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:01,959
Speaker 1: the course of his career, and that's why you kind

438
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: of want to see him as an RB two first

439
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: to see if he can maintain his his health and

440
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: then he can definitely be an RB one. I know

441
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: a lot of teams after his Pro Day pulls him

442
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 1: to the side right away to start interviewing him as

443
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: setting up business. Philadelphia Eagles, Chicago Bears. I know a

444
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: lot of teams that are looking for that that run

445
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: that running back by committee type backfield are looking at

446
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: Armstead as potentially their lead dog and what they're running

447
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: attack is going to be in twenty nineteen. Yeah, let's

448
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: move on to the wide receiver position. And one of

449
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: the guys that has really gained a lot of steam

450
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Twitter and in the fantasy community it's a

451
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: keen Butler, big guy. Um had a lot of drops

452
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: the last couple of years at Iowa State. Give me

453
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Keim Butler and whether or not this

454
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: guy is going to live up to the hype. Yeah,

455
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: he kind of reminds me a lot of Dorial Green Beckham,

456
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,959
Speaker 1: because that's not good. I don't want to hear about

457
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: Dorial Green. Because here's the thing. If you're telling just

458
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: like we talked about Daniel Jones and twenty minutes thing,

459
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: you finally get to something. He kind of do well

460
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: for you to talk about the receiver and one of

461
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: the things you mentioned was didn't catch the ball. Well,

462
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm already out. I'm on. I need you to cast

463
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: the ball consistently. I don't care if you can get open,

464
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: but you have to be able to cast the football

465
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: and that works. That That's why I'm worried about Butler.

466
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: There's at times he can cast the ball, which is great,

467
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: Like he can go up and high pointed, play, high post,

468
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,719
Speaker 1: all those cool things. But when you really need him

469
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: the most to cast the routine things, he tends to

470
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: drop those. It's almost like Marteves Bryant in that regard.

471
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: How Brian couldn't catch anything that was coming straight at him,

472
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: but over his shoulder he was able to catch those

473
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: um So to me with the drops from Butler comes

474
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: from him probably getting his hands up late to seeing

475
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: the ball lake because you see him cast the middle

476
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: to the back part of the football, which tells you

477
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: he's seeing it late, which leads to drops because a

478
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: lot of times, if you're seeing it laking your hands

479
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: up slow and you get hit at the same time,

480
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna drop the football. And so I see that

481
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: a lot with Butler. And here's the other part. Two.

482
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: We used to have this discussion about guys like t. J. Duckett,

483
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: Ryn Dane and guys like that. When you are in

484
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: college and you're bigger than everybody and you the NFL,

485
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: you have to understand there's no eighteen year old cornerbacks.

486
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: There's a te o. Linebacks is afraid of you. These

487
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: guys look grown men. They're gonna try to man handle

488
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: you at the line of screamers. So he has some

489
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: one get better at the line of screamers, getting off

490
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: bump press and has to be more consistent and kept

491
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: in football. I wouldn't take him high as high as

492
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: people are talking about it, He's probably admit round value

493
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: to me, Um, because he really has to clean up

494
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: those things if he wants to be a consistent threat

495
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: out there on Sundays, E Maria. It sounds like obviously

496
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: a little bit lower in Jokim Butler, Um, this is

497
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: obviously a just in my opinion, loaded receiver class. Um.

498
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: If you could give, just like dynasty fantasy football players,

499
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: your top two or three assets that you're that you're

500
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: trying to that that are on top of your board

501
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: and maybe targeting in some of your own leagues, who

502
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: would they be and why Anthony Rattlip Williams out of

503
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: North Carolina. I just love the way he plays the game.

504
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: Reminds me a lot of Roddy. Why. Yeah, I'm surprised

505
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: he's not getting as much publics he as he should

506
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: get because of how dynamic he is a football. He

507
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: has upside. Former high school quarterback and All star quarterback

508
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,640
Speaker 1: honestly made the moves receiver at u NC and has

509
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: gotten better every year, so he still has upside to

510
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: grow in that position. I would also look at a

511
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: big time receiver that no one's speaking up and and

512
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 1: keeling DAWs out of UC David, He's versed enough to

513
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: play all three receiver spot. I was consistently getting open

514
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl and and throughout the courts of

515
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: this career. You see David stepped up in the big

516
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: games like against Oregon and the FBS teams that they

517
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: played um And I also think when you look at

518
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: these smaller slot guys like uh Terry guy went out

519
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: of Georgia who plays fast in all directions, I'm a

520
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: big fan of a small school prospect in the Harry

521
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: Crawford out of Duke Games, tough guy that kinda has

522
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: that Antonio Brown type mentality where it's it's his fall

523
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: or no one's gonna get it at all. So I

524
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: think those type of guys are some of those the

525
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: guys I'm taking later on in the in the draft

526
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: if I'm drafted for Anity because of what they can

527
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: do after the catch. Another guy to keep an eye

528
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: on is probably the Bond Day Beyond Davis out of

529
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Sam Houston State, They're like the Oklahoma Sooners of the

530
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: f set. They're gonna get a lot of experience and

531
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: running rouletes. Guys are gonna consistently find themselves open. And

532
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,440
Speaker 1: this is another one of these Taylor Gabriel types that

533
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: are gonna be around later in the draft. Are undrafted

534
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: that's gonna have an impact on the team. So guys

535
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: that can do more than one thing, guys that can

536
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: put the ball in the end zone are guys that

537
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: I want on my football team. And this is a

538
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: really good receiver class, like you guys talk about, very deep,

539
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: from the ex position to the flankers and the slots

540
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: to the big inside guys like Reggie White Jr. Of Mama,

541
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: Who's another one that you definitely keep an eye on. Uh, Emory,

542
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: let folks know what what you will be doing during

543
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: the draft. Where will you be? Where can they find

544
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: you for all your great information? They can follow me

Speaker 1: interviewing Giants picks and players and getting the feedback in

552
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,719
Speaker 1: from from coaches and also from the gettleman himself. All right, Hey, fantastic. Look,

553
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: if you're a fan of the draft, if you're a

554
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: fan of Draft Twitter and you were not following Emory

555
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: Hunt on Twitter, fix that. Emory. Appreciate the time, man.

556
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: I always enjoyed talking to you. Enjoy the draft man,

557
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: great stuff. Thank you, appreciate you guys, Thank you for

558
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: having me. All all right, Emory Hunt again. You can

559
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 1: find him at the Athletic. You can find him at

560
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: Flow football Big on Twitter as well. Definitely guy I

561
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to before we did the draft. He studies.

562
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: I think he said he staid over eight hundred prospects.

563
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: It's funny because like there's like that's why I wanted

564
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: to ask Hi about Kim Butler, because you know, I know,

565
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: I know you love him, and I know there's a

566
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: lot of guys out there on Fantasy Twitter that love him.

567
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: But then I talked to some of the guys who

568
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 1: actually are scouting these like land Zerline and talked to

569
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: him and you know, Emory, and it was kind of

570
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: the same thing. I think. I think the thing with

571
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: Butler this year is just a wide range of opinions.

572
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: There's just I mean, it kind of just depends on

573
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: who you talk to. Um. Yeah, this class is a

574
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I can't wait to see where these

575
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: guys go in a couple of weeks. Ye know. I

576
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: mean you've got excuse me, you've got what um I

577
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: mean the wide receiver in running back position they're gonna

578
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: be I think the second to fourth rounds is where

579
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot of movement there at

580
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: those two positions, and it's gonna be a lot of

581
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: fun from a fantasy standpoint. The one thing is that

582
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: there aren't a lot of like featured jobs available in

583
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: the league at this point, because we've talked about it

584
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: at nauseum just we've had such an incredibly massive influx

585
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: of really good, young talented running backs come into the

586
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: league over the last five seasons or so. But um,

587
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: it is going to be interesting to see where some

588
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: of these young guys go downstairs talking to Rhet Lewis

589
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: and you're looking at Jacobs. Who's Josh Jacobs. He's he's

590
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: the number one running back in this class. And people

591
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: can't find a fit form. You can't find I mean,

592
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: like Tampa it would maybe be a fit, but they're

593
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: not going to take him in the first round. Oakland

594
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: could be a fit. Would they take him in the

595
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: first round? You don't know. Philadelphia traded for Jordan Howard,

596
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: so um I think in uh in the second, third,

597
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: and fourth round, you're gonna see a lot of good

598
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: running backs and a lot of talented wide receivers come

599
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: off the board. That's where fantasy owners really need to

600
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: pay a lot of attention to this draft. That's gonna

601
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: be the A major amazing range. I think is that

602
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: like second to fourth round from receivers, because we'll see

603
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: so I mean there should there should be at least

604
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 1: I think fifteen eighteen, I think going that range if

605
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,159
Speaker 1: they're all gonna fly, and legitimately, how many fantasy impact

606
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: makers are going to be drafted in the first round,

607
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: especially just immediate gratification two thousand and nineteen impact Maybe

608
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 1: maybe two or maybe a couple two or three, It

609
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: won't be right right. So obviously we'll see Hockinson and

610
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: Fan go in the first round. For tight ends, I

611
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: would be shocked if either of them fall in to

612
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: the second round. But then for receivers, Metcalf, Yeah, for

613
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,719
Speaker 1: receivers Metcalf, I think Markus Brown, marks Brown. Keen Butler

614
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: I've seen, I mean, I've seen some sharper people mock

615
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: him into the first round. But also I've seen, like

616
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,239
Speaker 1: you know, Daniel JEREMYR. Daniel Jeremy has had him out

617
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: of side of his top fifty for quite some time.

618
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's some plugged in people that have definitely

619
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: been lower on Butler than I think. It's kind of

620
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: the hype is Is has crept up A J. Brown Is.

621
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: I think it's tyd of a wild card, right h

622
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 1: Brown is the number one receiver I think right now

623
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: that everyone has just kind of forgotten about through this process,

624
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: and he's Nikkill. Harry's out there too, maybe a late

625
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: first second round. I think. I think Friday is going

626
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,959
Speaker 1: to have a lot more fantasy impacts, No doubt they will,

627
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: no doubt Again thanks to a Marie Hunt for stopping by.

628
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: We look forward to getting this going. Man, just a

629
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: couple of days away from the draft, and again we

630
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: will be back on Friday with another pod to just

631
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: kind of recap what happened on Thursday and uh, you know,

632
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, get you ready maybe for the rest

633
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: of the weekend. All right, now, the important stuff A

634
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: Night of the Seven Kings. Actually actually can say this

635
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 1: is a spoiler alert in case you somehow didn't watch

636
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones on Sunday, if you haven't watched it yet,

637
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: uh you know, uh, I mean, look after this, we

638
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,440
Speaker 1: got four episodes left. That's it. Um so a Night

639
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: of the Seven Kingdoms, right. Basically, everybody has gathered at

640
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: winter Fell and they're just they're just running out the

641
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: clock because the Army of the Dead is on its way.

642
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: So it's sort of one last night with everybody together

643
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 1: because after episode three, we're gonna lose a lot of

644
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: these characters folks. A lot of these folks are not

645
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: coming back. So there's a chance to uh to kind

646
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: of see him together. Big news. Aria is a woman now,

647
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: so you know there was a second. There was a

648
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: second there, guys where I thought they were going to

649
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: go full frontal and I was going to close my eyes,

650
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: like because she's like our little sister. I don't I

651
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: don't want to see that. I ever ever ever do that.

652
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was a fantastic appisode. Oh yeah, I

653
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: love that. I know a lot of people didn't dig it,

654
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: but I think what you're gonna look back at it

655
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: and think because in the next episode or two, some

656
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: of the people, especially when they all got together and

657
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: there no, I think that's that's why we needed this one, right,

658
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: just one last moment, because I think you started it

659
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: builds the tension for what's come. It was so good that,

660
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I thought the writers did such a fantastic

661
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: job of overlaying like we know, this ominous, huge war

662
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: where half of you were going to die is coming

663
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: up in the episode, but like there were so many

664
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: little moments that were so happy, like and gets knighted,

665
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 1: Ario becomes a woman. I got a little tearing when

666
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: Brianne got knighted. I was just gonna lie to you,

667
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: and she's one of my favorite characters. To um. Yeah,

668
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: it was just an all around fantastic episode. Now we

669
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: have next four going to be eighty plus minutes of

670
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: just just brutal. A couple of things that I thought

671
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: that well brand you know when when he you know,

672
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: he made this statement, you know the things you do

673
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: for the ones you love, got that kind of thing.

674
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, I kind of felt bad

675
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: for Jamie because, like I get it, like he was

676
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: a day back in the day. Now, I think you know,

677
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: we talked about it last week where he's sort of

678
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: he's become a good man now. Um, and and Brian

679
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: wouldn't have dodged for him. Jamie is my favorite character

680
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: on the show. I think he's had the one of

681
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: the the best, if not the best story arcs on

682
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: the character. He's gone from completely hated by everyone too.

683
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: I mean he now is a man with you know,

684
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: with honor and who stands for somebody, stands for something,

685
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know, it's just it's been a great

686
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: role reversal. But um, he's definitely going to have the

687
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: the anti hero ending. So yeah, to the two things

688
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: that that I was thinking about two as this episode

689
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,239
Speaker 1: was going on, was first off, John wasn't in the

690
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: episode a lot. He wasn't in the episode a lot.

691
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: And then when they had decided as a group that

692
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,200
Speaker 1: they were going to allow Jamie to fight for the living,

693
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 1: he walked right past Danny didn't say anything, and I'm

694
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: just thinking he's thinking. And then at the end it

695
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: gets uncomfortable and suddenly you're thinking, does Danny now think

696
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: John's a threat? Because what has she been striving her

697
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: entire her entire life is being the you know, the

698
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: the queen being the leader of the seventh. Now this

699
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: dude who she's in love with, who happens to be

700
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: her nephew, is the rightful air. And then the other

701
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: thing that I thought about was where's the night King?

702
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: Is he on his way eight two? King's landing to

703
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: turn all of those clowns into his army and then

704
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: they all go to wester Rose. I want to go

705
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: back to Winterfell real quick. To the Danny and john point.

706
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: That was her immediate reaction was, wait, you have wait

707
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: a minute, you have a claim to the front that

708
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 1: I love, you know, you have a claim to have

709
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: a claim to the throne. That's the first thing that

710
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: came right, Um, yeah, there that is I think Eddie

711
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: kneled it last week. That's the true tension that's building,

712
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 1: is right. Well, suddenly, you know, Danny went from being

713
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: sort of welcome in winter Fell to feeling very because

714
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: not only is Johnny threat but she had the stair

715
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: down with Sensa where it was, you know, okay, so

716
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: you take over the throne? What happens to the north

717
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: And there was just this weird, awkward silence. How they

718
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 1: gonna hook Fian and Sansa up. I don't want that.

719
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,959
Speaker 1: I don't want I think that's that's just that, like

720
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: I get it. Family for them, I get it, like

721
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, people want the answer to find

722
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: someone at the end of this whole thing. She's gone

723
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: through hell with the with the men that have been

724
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: in her life in that respect. But I'm thinking, okay,

725
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: number one Dion, well he's lacking the equipment and too,

726
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: Like I still would have a hard time for giving

727
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: him like he did some at thing. So I mean,

728
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: and I get it now he's sort of it's it's

729
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: his redemption because uh he you know, he seemed like

730
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: he says he helps safe Sansa from from Ramsey's Bolton.

731
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: Uh And but I don't know. I still don't trust

732
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: theon Like I don't think he's gonna turn back and

733
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: and betray the Starks again. But I just I still

734
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: don't trust him, and I don't like that whole like,

735
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: don't don't hook them up, not to mention that he

736
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: killed so maybe and then speaking of animals, they ghost

737
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: is back and they don't even he's just in a

738
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: scene that's true, he didn't really acknowledge that acknowledge that

739
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: he's back. No, kind of so, so so, so what's what's

740
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: gonna happen now? Now we now we're all expecting that

741
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the big one. Uh, this is

742
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: going to be maybe the first of several big ones,

743
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: we hope, because there's more left. Brianne sadly is going

744
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: to die? Is that what you really? I mean, her

745
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: character arc is complete now she's been knighted. Like she's happy.

746
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: You can't be happy, no one, no one is allowed

747
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:20,919
Speaker 1: to be happy on Game of Thrones. That she is happy?

748
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: Does she like die saving like Patrick? Maybe she she will.

749
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: Possibly she'll die a hero's death because she is a hero. Um.

750
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: How many of the people in that room are going

751
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: to die in the next episode? So you guys, you

752
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: guys think that Brianne will be Brianne will die? Um?

753
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: I think Torman, I think he's kind of a sneaky

754
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: bet to die. But that's that will hurt that. Yeah,

755
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 1: that's that's gonna hurt. The Giant's milk, that's gonna hurt. Um.

756
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: Maybe the maybe undercover I think we kind of all

757
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: knew maybe Circy was pregnant, but we did get confirmation

758
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: that she is pregnant and it's Jamie's. It's Jamie's just

759
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: in surprising this Jamie's obviously. But I mean, at least

760
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: we do knows not lying about that. I think we

761
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: lose the Hound, oh for sure. Um that's kind of

762
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: been vindicated, which which was a great scene with Aria,

763
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,320
Speaker 1: which sort of makes me sad because I wanted to

764
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: the Game Bowl. I wanted to Hound V. Then you

765
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:18,799
Speaker 1: don't think that I want that to happen. I don't.

766
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: I feel like that they'd be doing the fans at

767
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: this service by not having that. I know, it's like

768
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 1: when it's like when whole Kogan never fought Rick Flare

769
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: at WrestleMania and we wanted and then it didn't happen.

770
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,319
Speaker 1: I honestly hope the game that the Game of Thrones

771
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: writers didn't just give us what we wanted, Like there's

772
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: gotta be some mayhem in some turns. No, no no, no,

773
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 1: but I mean that would that's like, yeah, it would

774
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: be so good Hound versus the Mountain, it would be

775
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: so good. It would be well whatever whatever the Mountain

776
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: is now, I mean, what is He's sort of like

777
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: zombie monsters who and then and then uh, you had

778
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: the interaction with Sam and Jorah where he gave him

779
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: Uh yes, that was that was cool too. So I

780
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: think Eddie predicted that, by the way, Yes he did.

781
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: He didn't. When that happened, I was like, Eddie, Eddie

782
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: knows his stuff. That's good. No, Eddie is Eddie is

783
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: really good. He's really good. So so then Brianna is

784
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: gonna be dead. Maybe Jamie's gonna be dead in the

785
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: next episode. Is going to die? Yeah, okay, okay, yeah, yeah,

786
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna die. Davos may may also kick it. I

787
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: would agree. He's kind of I mean, like that guy.

788
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: He's sort of like, uh, you know that that old

789
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver that just like keep playing and playing and

790
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 1: playing and playing. And he should have been done, maybe

791
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: like three or four years ago, but somehow or another,

792
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 1: he just he just keeps, you know, he's like Irving

793
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 1: Friar towards the end, you know, keep playing and playing

794
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: the name I haven't heard in a while. I played forever,

795
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: maybe longer than he should have. I think maybe the

796
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: last thing we should discuss, And I mean, what the

797
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: hell's gonna happen with Tyrian? I mean, he, like Loki,

798
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: has gotten a ton of things wrong in the last seasons. Um,

799
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: I'm really interested to see where tyrian story arc ends. Yeah. Yeah,

800
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: that's going to be interesting too, because he's one of

801
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: the most loved characters on the show, and he's kind

802
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 1: of had this like his characters kind of stalled here

803
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: be whereas everybody else is going towards an obvious endpoint.

804
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: John is going towards an obvious end point, Danny's going

805
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: towards it. I said it last week. I'm like, I'm

806
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: just surprised that he was that stupid with the with

807
00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: the Seriously, I just think he was desperate. I really

808
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: do just think he was desperate. I think Terran was

809
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: both desperate and he also still loves his family clearly true,

810
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 1: very true in his own way. He's still he still loved.

811
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: He's still I mean he he does. He loves his family.

812
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: He even though even though he knows what they are

813
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: and who they are. I mean, it's hard. Well, he

814
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: said Jamie, He's like you knew exactly what. He just

815
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: loved her anyway and all. And we saw that. All

816
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: it took to bring Terryan and Sercy back together is

817
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,440
Speaker 1: a meeting with Elmo. Yeah did you see that? Yeah?

818
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: Haven't see it Google. That's pretty funny. It's pretty funny. So,

819
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: I mean, episode three, the one that we've all been

820
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: waiting for, is coming. It's what like eight two minutes long?

821
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: Four eight plus minut uh it is. I would imagine

822
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: most of the budget will probably be spent in this

823
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: next episode. This is the infamous battle scene that all

824
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: the actors said they hate doing grueling, that they never

825
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: want to do this sort of thing again. Uh So

826
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 1: when we come back to you next Wednesday after the draft,

827
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,600

Speaker 1: hour show because we've got to We've got to go
