Speaker 1: We're glad to be joined by the one only step mom, Lauren. Lauren,

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: appreciate you jumping in with us today. How are you?

17
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: I am wonderful, Thank you so much for having me.

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: This is going to be an adventure because I just

19
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: realized that there was a draft that I forgot about

20
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: at the end of this so well, the good news is,

21
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: I think, as she alluded to, we're gonna do another

22
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: fantasy draft of things because we did it last week

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: with non alcoholic beverages. And I will say that the

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,559
Speaker 1: response on social media took off in a huge way.

25
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: So we're certainly all glad that you guys were certainly

26
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: engaged and happy to talk about it. We're also sort

27
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: of amused that most of what we got with a

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: lot of people roasting Troy King about his picks, although

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 1: you know, you got roasted for them, but it ended

30
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: up being a pretty neck and neck battle the whole way,

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: and uh, Florio, your pick of water ended up being

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: a lot stronger than you anticipated. I thought I was

33
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: gonna get roasted for picking two kinds of tease and water.

34
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: I thought everyone was gonna be like, this guy is

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: super boring, and instead everyone was like water Steel of

36
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: the draft, you can't live without it. I was like,

37
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: all right, so that worked out, So hopefully we'll do

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: we will do another uh fantasy draft of things at

39
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: the end of this show, and hopefully it's just as

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: engaging to those of you out there as last week's was, um,

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: we have some stuff to talk about. Obviously, this is

42
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: sort of the dead portion of the off season. This

43
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: is the closest thing I think we get to an

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: actual off season these next few weeks. So there are headlines.

45
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: I usually call this the news section. I decided to

46
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: call it the off season chatter section because it's just

47
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: it's sort of people talking but not necessarily saying a

48
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: whole lot of things. And so as we tend to

49
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: do here, because the content machine continues to grind and

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: we all got bills to pay, we'll try to decipher

51
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: what we can from what is being said by coaches

52
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: and players around the league. So let's start in Baltimore. Uh,

53
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: we're Jeff Rabek, and if I'm mispronouncing that, I totally apologize.

54
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: But from the Athletic the Baltimore beat Rider down there

55
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: was talking about how he thinks the Ravens are gonna

56
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: go a lot more run heavy this year, kind of

57
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: reverting back to what they were in twenty nineteen when

58
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: they went fourteen and two had a great season. But

59
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: really we're built around running the football and playing defense.

60
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: The last couple of years they've tried to get to

61
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: more of a balanced offense with sort of mixed results.

62
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: So Laura, I'll start with you, But I mean, if

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 1: if this is what the Ravens really want to do,

64
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: if they want to run the football, Um, what does

65
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: this mean for a guy like j K. Dobbins, who

66
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: we had big expectations for last year. Unfortunately he got

67
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: hurt in the preseason missed the entire year, but he's

68
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 1: expected to be back and healthy again. If the Ravens

69
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: really do want to get back to running the football

70
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: a lot more, does this mean we should move him

71
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: up our draft boards a little bit? I think I

72
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: think so, But I don't think j K. Dobbins really

73
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: is going to be one of those players that falls

74
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: too far. I think he's going to be a steal

75
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: if people do let him fall too far, which is

76
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna be nice. But I want to put air quotes

77
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: around reverting back to the game because that's a little

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: bit of a misnomer. It's not like they were you know,

79
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and everything. No, they were third. They had

80
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: the most attempts in the league in Russia attempts. That's

81
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: not exactly like a big swing in the opposite direction.

82
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: I think they were like ninth most in passing or

83
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: something too. Yeah, let's see ninth in passing last season.

84
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: So I mean, yeah, I guess you want to call

85
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: that balanced. I suppose, But I mean Lamar Jackson. Yes,

86
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: he has a nice arm, but he's known for his legs,

87
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,599
Speaker 1: he's known for his duke moves. He's known to be

88
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: able to do these things. And I this is again

89
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: air quotes that like reverting back to No, it's just

90
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: strengthening what you guys are already really good at. So no,

91
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about J. J. Dobbins. I think he

92
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: should be uh not disrespected if anyone is giving him disrespected.

93
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: But if you want to forget about him, everyone in

94
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: every league I'm in, she sucks, don't. That's the key

95
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: is to talk him down to the people that I

96
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: am all about it. You know, let's just trying to

97
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: try to try to take a guy's value so that

98
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: you can get him at a better spot in the draft.

99
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean, Floria, we looked at this backfield in the past,

100
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 1: and and when everybody was healthy, when it was whoever

101
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: it was, if it was Dobbins, if it was Edwards,

102
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: if it was you know, take your pick it always

103
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: seemed like it was kind of a a one third

104
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: split between you know, the two running backs and then

105
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: obviously Lamar Jackson taking a lot of those opportunities. I mean,

106
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: is that BA can play again? And is that something

107
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: we keep in mind if you're figuring about drafting a

108
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: Ravens running back. It to me it is I I

109
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: I really like j K. Dobbins, like his talent as

110
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,359
Speaker 1: an individual running back, and I see the path for

111
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: him being an RB one similar to what mark Ingram

112
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: did uh and Lamar Jackson's m v P year and

113
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: that score a bunch of touchdowns. Because I, at the

114
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: very least I I have passed game concerns with him,

115
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 1: Like they did bring in Mike Davis immediately after he

116
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: got cut. We know that he can be used in

117
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 1: the passing game. They drafted Tyler Batty. He is also

118
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: a pass game specialist, So if j K. Dobbins usage

119
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: in the passing game is limited that I think that

120
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: limits his upside. So I like j K. Dobbins um,

121
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: but I do have concerns about what his role in

122
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: this offense is going to be exactly, especially because they

123
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: liked us Bus. But he's someone who is kind of fringey.

124
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: They could potentially get away from that contract if they

125
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: want to, So I still think we we got to

126
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: monitor this situation pretty closely. I like Dobbins as an

127
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: RB two. I think his upside is more of a

128
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 1: low end RB one. But if I agree with with Lauren,

129
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: if if people are you know, saying like, oh, we

130
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: have concerns about him, and he starts sliding a bit,

131
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: then I'll be in. But if we see the opposite

132
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: and people start saying, remember how good this guy is

133
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 1: in this offense that's gonna run so much, and he

134
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: starts getting pulled up, then I'll probably be out. I'm

135
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: waiting for j K. Dobbins Day on Fantasy Twitter because

136
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: you know it's coming, right, It's coming because by the

137
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: time we get through the end of the summer, we

138
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: get to training camp in preseason games, like pretty much

139
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: every notable skill position player is going to have a

140
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: day where they were the main character, right Like, it's

141
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: going to happen. So j K. Dobbins Day is coming.

142
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: A couple of things I will say that at least

143
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: are worth keeping in mind is that he is still

144
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: sort of rehabbing back, and I know that reports are

145
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens are gonna take it slow, that he's sort

146
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: of been working away from the team and everything's fine.

147
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: Apparently Baltimore is pretty happy with with what they're hearing

148
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: the progress he's making. But he has not necessarily been

149
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: working out with the team a lot, so he's still

150
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: working his way back. Gus Edwards is also still working

151
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: his way back. Um. The other part of it you

152
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: kind of touched on this Florio is you know what

153
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: his role in the passing game is going to be.

154
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: And we always here every year, we want to throw

155
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: the football more. We're gonna get our backs involved in

156
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: the passing game. And then Lauren, as you alluded to,

157
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, things kind of staying the same way they

158
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: were and there's still the Baltimore Ravens and they're still

159
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: already run first offense. That being said, Lauren, Rashad Bateman

160
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: was kind of everybody's favorite rookie darling last year. And look,

161
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: I know for you because you and I were on

162
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: with Jake Sigley not all that long ago, uh, and

163
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: you were you mentioned that you're not necessarily big on

164
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: rookie receivers. He's not a rookie anymore, Lauren, this is

165
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: year two for Rashade Bateman. They say they want to

166
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: run the foot well more. So are you still maybe

167
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: not so excited about drafting him this year? Okay? So,

168
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman to me is like listening to someone describes

169
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: some kind of exotic cuisine right, and you're like, hm, hmmm,

170
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: I'm really not quite sure about that. And then you

171
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: pass by it and this aroma walks to you and

172
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: then suddenly it picks you up by your nostrils and

173
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: you float right back to said cuisine. That is Rashad

174
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: Bateman to me. I am very excited about him this season. Now,

175
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm not rushing out to, you know, elevate him in

176
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: my draft boards. He's just one of those receivers I'm

177
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: gonna have my eye on in the draft, targeting possibly,

178
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: but I'm going to see where he goes. If he

179
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: falls far enough, I'm going to be very happy to

180
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: scoop him up in the later rounds because again we

181
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: not well I do, and if I do, the ergo

182
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: everyone does obviously associate the Ravens with the run game.

183
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: So I wonder, aside from Mark Andrews, how much of

184
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: those receivers. The past catchers are going to be falling

185
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: a little bit further down the rank, So I am

186
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: excited about this. Plus he really he did flash very

187
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 1: very well. There were some games where he showed he

188
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: can get it done. I like this, and I especially

189
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: like this because of the lack of Marquise Hollywood Brown. Now,

190
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: when I did some research on this, which there will

191
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: be a piece coming out at the impacts of the

192
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: off season changes on tight ends that you'll be able

193
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: to read on NBC Sports edge dot com. Thing see,

194
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: I got my ding in this time. I was able

195
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: to do it this time, Margrets. It's not just you.

196
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: I was able to do it. And you can read

197
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 1: about the quarterback, running backs and wide receivers on the

198
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: same platform as well. But I was really surprised that

199
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown actually had a hundred and forty six targets. Now,

200
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: for some reason, when I think back, without looking at

201
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: the numbers, I didn't expect it to be that high.

202
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: And then obviously with Mark Andrews he was at one

203
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: three I believe, so that one didn't surprise me. But

204
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: that vacates a hundred and forty six targets. Where are

205
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: those going? To go because considering they were third highest

206
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: in the league in Russia attempts, there were still targets

207
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: to go around. So I do like this. I think

208
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman is going to be more involved. It is

209
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: his second season. He has proven to me that he

210
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: passes the smell test. See what I did. They're brought

211
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: it back to the delicious cuisine that you know, caught

212
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: the waffs of the aroma that I really like. So

213
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited about what he's going to do. I'm not concerned.

214
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about it because he's not going to

215
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: be someone that I am looking to draft anywhere early

216
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: or even in the mid rounds. If he falls to

217
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: me later, then yes, then I will be very excited

218
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: about it. And he'll be one of those wide receiver

219
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: three or flex blaze that I put in and laugh

220
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: at everyone that they decided to pass up on him.

221
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: That was all very astute, and I think there's a

222
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: lot of merit to it. The only thing I took

223
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: away from that, Rashod Bateman is basically a hot commerce

224
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,599
Speaker 1: that you get on the streets of Manhattan at a

225
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: cart exactly. That's the thing you will never be able

226
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: to think of Bateman any other way other than he

227
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: smells great. They don't know if he does smells great.

228
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: I'm totally going to I mean, Floria, I mean, is

229
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: this how we're feeling? Are we is Bateman kind of?

230
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: Is he still I guess a mid round guy. Does

231
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: he have that wide receiver one upside? Or is he

232
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: just you know, are we were recapping him and say

233
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: a wide receiver two. I think his upside is a

234
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver too for now, maybe like things would have

235
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: to really break right, I think for him to finish

236
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver one. Um, It's funny. I did

237
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: a Best Ball draft earlier this week and I took

238
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: him as my wide receiver three in like the seventh

239
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: or eighth round. Um. I felt good about getting him there.

240
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: But he's someone that comes with, you know, fantasy. Twitter

241
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: loves to hype this guy up. He will be the

242
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: main character one day and probably uh start to to

243
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: get his a DP pulled up a little bit. I

244
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: feel similar to Lauren once again, Like I I like

245
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: Bateman as a player, I like his talent. I think

246
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: he's a really strong fit for Lamar Jackson. But I

247
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: think it ultimately comes down to how much you think

248
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens are going to throw the ball. Because I

249
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: was also surprised to see Markey's Brown had a hundred

250
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: and forty six targets last year because every year prior

251
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: to that he was averaging like around seven targets per game.

252
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: He's consistently like wider sever ninety and routes ran because

253
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: they just don't throw the ball a whole lot, and

254
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: Marky's Brown was able to combat that by being a

255
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 1: great downfield threat, someone who could pick up forty fifty

256
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: yards and you know, one catch. Bateman has the ability

257
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: to be a downfield receiver, but he doesn't have the

258
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: speed and the field stretching ability like a Markis Brown does.

259
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,199
Speaker 1: So I think for him to get close to that

260
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver one value, he's either gonna need around a

261
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty targets and I'm I, I just I

262
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: don't feel confident projecting that for him. I mean Florial,

263
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, I always like to talk about talent versus

264
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: opportunity here and and for me, Bateman was sort of

265
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: one of those test cases I actually wrote about. I

266
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: didn't I didn't include Bateman, but I did write about it,

267
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: uh for pal Bob Harris and Emil Catholic in the

268
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: the upcoming UH Football Die Hards magazine out on news

269
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: stands soon being Uh so you can go check that out, uh,

270
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, whenever that's available. But Bateman was sort of

271
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: one of those test cases where you know, a lot

272
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: of astute people who study wide receivers talked about how

273
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: much they loved Bateman. They loved his ability, and I said, sure,

274
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: he also goes to the run heaviest team in the league,

275
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: so that's going to kind of cap what his opportunities

276
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: are going to be from a fantasy standpoint. I'm sure

277
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: he's very talented. I trust those people who studied that

278
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: sort of thing, and I trust their opinions. But for me,

279
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 1: it was a situation where the opportunity doesn't necessarily match up,

280
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: and so I think that, more than anything, sort of

281
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: puts a ceiling on potentially what he can be. But

282
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, as as Lauren mentioned the fact that a

283
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: lot of targets are now open because Marcus Brown is

284
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: collecting mail in Arizona, uh, you know, maybe that does

285
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: help him a little bit. All right, let's shift our

286
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: attention down to Dallas, where Ezekiel Elliott says he still

287
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: feels he has quote something to prove. I get it.

288
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: You know, the last couple of years, a lot of

289
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: people have been throwing dirt on Zeke's name. He is

290
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: not looking like the dominant back that we saw when

291
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: he first came into the NFL out of Ohio State.

292
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 1: Uh And like last year it wasn't. You don't have

293
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: to look very far on Twitter to see people saying

294
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: that Tony Pollard maybe deserved a bigger role than he

295
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: did in the Dallas offense. But you also go back

296
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: and you look over the last few years, Zeke consistently

297
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: still finishes among the top ten running backs. It's so

298
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: that leads me to wonder, Lauren, are we overreacting to

299
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: to Zeke's production. I mean, it's not what it once was,

300
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: It's not what what you probably got if you drafted

301
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: him staying in the top five, but in the end

302
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: he still ends up as an RB one. Are we

303
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: are we freaking out too much? Or is there really

304
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: something there that we need to be concerned about. This

305
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: is the most annoying thing about like real football, which

306
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: I don't care about at all, Like I only care

307
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: about the fantasy aspect of it. So from a fantasy

308
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 1: football perspective, this is very concerning. It's upsetting, But let

309
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: me just elaborate as to why is because the Dallas

310
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: Cowboys were actually very smart and how they utilized the

311
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: Zeka Elliott. There are so many running back injuries, just

312
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: as the Ravens speaking of Baltimore. I mean, it's a

313
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 1: serious issue. So with an extra week and an extra game,

314
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 1: it was important for the Cowboys and for other teams

315
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: around the league to basically go by a running back

316
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: by committee, if you will, to spread out those touches,

317
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: spread out a little bit of the wear and tear

318
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: that these players are undoubtedly saying day in and day

319
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: out at practice, especially during games. So incorporating more of

320
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: Tonia Pollard made sense from that really annoying real football standpoint,

321
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: But it is upsetting for the fantasy world on this.

322
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: But if you have this expectation going into it, I

323
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: think what we're what we need to do is we

324
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: need to look at Ezekiel Elliott as not that workhorse

325
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: guy who's going to be seeing pretty much every single snap.

326
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: He's not going to be that guy. And if you

327
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: have that perception of him, he's not going to be

328
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: disappointing because you're going to know exactly what role that

329
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: he's doing. Now. Is that going to change this year

330
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: from or I'm sorry, this coming year as opposed to

331
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: what we saw last year. Is there going to be

332
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: a change. Is it going to be the same thing

333
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: that we saw from Zeke? Then yes, you should be

334
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: concerned if you're thinking you're going to draft him in

335
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: the first round and he's going to turn out, you know,

336
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry type numbers, as it's not really possible, especially

337
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: with what they've done that seemed to be successful with

338
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: a player like Tony Pollard who is very talented, very good,

339
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: and different from Ezechiel Elliott, so they can run different

340
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 1: types of offenses. And with the loss of Amara Cooper,

341
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: they're going to have to try to think of some

342
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: interesting ways and some dynamic plays that they're going to

343
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: need to do, and I guarantee you that is going

344
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: to be involving Tony Pollard a little bit more. So

345
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: there is concern not so much to the fact of

346
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: oh my god, you know he saw its where you

347
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: know he's he's never going to finish well ever again,

348
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: because as you said, he consistently does well, just doesn't

349
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: meet those expectations that we have come to prescribe to him.

350
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: We've come to expect a certain level of production, and

351
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: when it's not met, we throw things in the air,

352
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: break dishes. Maybe that's just me, but I mean, it happens.

353
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: Are you? Are you suggesting that fantasy managers can be

354
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: irrational sometimes because I've just never seen that. I've never

355
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: I've never seen that. We are calm, cool and collected

356
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: all the time, all the time. All right, I mean,

357
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: so Floria, I mean, with all that being said, is

358
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,919
Speaker 1: Zeke where is? Where do you feel comfortable taking him?

359
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: I mean, is he? Is he a guy that you

360
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: would take, say at the turn at the end of

361
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: the first round? Is he? Is he later in the second?

362
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: Where do you feel comfortable drafting him? I'm not gonna

363
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: have Zeke on any teams this year, so probably nowhere

364
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: I would take came if he fell to the third round,

365
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: which I don't think is going to happen. Um, Look

366
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: when a running like I was out on Zeke last

367
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: year until the echo chamber convinced me that oh no,

368
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: look what he did with Dac And I was like,

369
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: but even with Dac. His efficiency is down. He has

370
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: no burst left whatsoever. Like his last twenty yard run

371
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: I think was like legitimately multiple seasons ago. Like the

372
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: guy just he so what he is. He is a

373
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 1: bigger name. Josh Jacob, Josh Jacob. He is going to

374
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: give you RB to production for seventeen weeks. But because

375
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: he's not gonna get hurt, at the end of the year,

376
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna be an RB one. He finished as the

377
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: RB seven overall last year, and he finished a week

378
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: as a top seven running back one time, like you're

379
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: consistently gonna he was the RB seventeen and points per game,

380
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: like you're just gonna keep getting RB two weeks and

381
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: and the thing is like I know we're saying people

382
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: are saying, oh, he's hurt. The year before was oh

383
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: Dak was hurt. It's always an excuse with Zeke. But

384
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: the efficiency continues to decline and has been for years.

385
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,800
Speaker 1: There's no birthst like I said, And now his touches

386
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 1: per game is going down. And what used to keep

387
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: him afloat was a high target total. Last year, in

388
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: seventeen games, he had fewer targets than the year before,

389
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: where he played only fifteen games. Like Tony Pollard is

390
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: a legit concern that he is eating into his passing

391
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,879
Speaker 1: game work. I think he, like Lawrence said, I think

392
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: he could take more carries away this year as well.

393
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: And I also think Dak Prescott, being a year removed

394
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: from that severe leg injury that he needed surgery for

395
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: and stuff. We didn't see Dak run much last year,

396
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: I think we could see Dak run even more, which

397
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: may mean even fewer dump offs to the running back.

398
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: So I just I can't get excited for Zeke. I've

399
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: I was trying my best to be off of him

400
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: last I will not get sucked back in this year. Okay,

401
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: this with then, Lauren. Right now, Tony Pollard's got a

402
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: seventh round a DP. Is that about right? Should he

403
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: be high or should we be more in on Tony

404
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: Pollard right now? No? I mean no, I think that's

405
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: I think that is right where he should be. It

406
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: depending on where the narrative goes, you know, because we

407
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: have nothing else to do, we just talk about all

408
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 1: these random things that could happen. So depending on what narrative,

409
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 1: Street decides to break, you know, branch off on whatever

410
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: block that we're going to is going to depend on

411
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: where his ADP goes. But um, I don't think that

412
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,239
Speaker 1: we should necessarily be throwing too much more stock into it,

413
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: unless you're really deep leaks. Then he's kind of one

414
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: of those characters that's a little bit more intriguing to me.

415
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: But I'm just exactly the same thing as Florio just said.

416
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: I'm out. I'm out on Zeke. And if I'm going

417
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: to have a piece of that backfield, it's gonna be

418
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard. It's gonna be looking for a flex opportunity,

419
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: a spot start, is going to be looking possibly even

420
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: further bench as a insurance plan. I just I'm not sold,

421
00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: and I don't think that we need to be, you know,

422
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: hype either one of these two up, because if anything,

423
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: Zeke needs to reprove himself. Why am I air quoting everything?

424
00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: I don't know, everyone just listening, I am literally air

425
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: quoting almost everything that I do. But I think he

426
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: needs to reprove himself, um to the team that they

427
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: spent all this money on him. Um, and to quote

428
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: Mr Jerry Jones, Dick who I mean, that's a that's

429
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: a situation. So UM, I don't know if I'm just out.

430
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm out. I don't like it, um either one. I

431
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: thought it was really awkward when you air quoted Ezekiel Elliott.

432
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: That was just weird. I didn't understand. You look nice, Marcus.

433
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: You know. So here's my thing with Tony Pollard. I

434
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: think he is excelled in the role that they have

435
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: put him in. And when I see people saying he

436
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: deserves more touches. In fact, I've even seen people maybe

437
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 1: this is beyond the pale, but I've seen people come

438
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: out and say, you know, maybe he should be taking

439
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: over as the starter in the RB one in Dallas

440
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: from Ezekiel Elliott. And when I hear that or see that,

441
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: my mind immediately flashes to what I'm gonna now call

442
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: the Lamar Miller and drum right, um, And I know

443
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: it's a thing that you know, are are are a

444
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: consensual pal uh. Jake Seeley has talked about two with

445
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller all those years when we were all like

446
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: free Lamar Miller. He needs more touches, he needs more opportunity.

447
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: He went to a place that gave him more touches,

448
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: and we were like, oh, that's why he wasn't getting

449
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: more touches, and I'm sort of I'm I sort of

450
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 1: wonder that about Tony Pollard, is that is he a

451
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: guy that is it good in the role he's in

452
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: and maybe isn't going to be as efficient if he

453
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: gets more opportunities, or you know, maybe I'm wrong and

454
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm full of crap, and and he's a dude

455
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: who really can step in and and take over that

456
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: RB one. I don't know, Floria, I don't know if

457
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 1: you feel differently about it. I mean, is he who

458
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: he is? Or can he be something better? I think

459
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: he can be something better, but it's very real concerns

460
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: because we've never seen it. We've seen one career game

461
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: where he's played without Ezekiel Elliott and he went off

462
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: for thirty one Fantasy points in it. But it's one game,

463
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, like you can't really bank a whole lot

464
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: on one game. So I personally think that he can

465
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: be an RB one if anything was to happen to Zeke.

466
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: In fact, I kind of camp him, not again skill wise,

467
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: but just the situation to what Kareem Hunt has been

468
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: for a while for the Browns, where like he's a

469
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 1: solid flex guy, have some good weeks some bad weeks.

470
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: But if anything was to happen to the starter, I

471
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: think RB one potential immediately at the worst like high

472
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: end RB two. But if someone was like I don't

473
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: think he could hold up with that much workload, I

474
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: can't really argue it because we haven't really seen it before.

475
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: So while I think Tony Pollard could be fine, it's

476
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: a lot easier when you're getting you know, twelve carries

477
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: and looking great and not being the guy that has

478
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: to run between the tackles twenty times. I mean there

479
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 1: is some if you are a guy like Tony Pollard,

480
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,360
Speaker 1: there is a joy in everybody believing that you can

481
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: do something and you not necessarily having to prove it

482
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: right and not you know, you just let arise. Yeah, man,

483
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: I can. I can totally be that dude. But you know,

484
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's the Uncle Rico paradigm, right

485
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: like if we if if coach had put me in

486
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: wed To one state, I can throw a football quarter

487
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: mile through a clear over those mountains like Tony Pollard can.

488
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: Sold that sort of be the Uncle Rico Like, hey,

489
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: look I can run for fift yards this year. But

490
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: it's just that you know, coaches holding me back and

491
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: we got Zeke there. So, um, he's got to be

492
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: a free agent soon, right, Like he might get paid

493
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: just off of the allure that he could be the guy,

494
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 1: just the the idea that that there's something bigger and

495
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: better out there for Tony Pollard, which he's this is

496
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: his final year with the Cowboys on on his current contracts,

497
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: and I would think there will be, you know, unless

498
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: something goes terribly wrong this year, I'm sure there will

499
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: be a lot of takers out there looking for a

500
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: guy like Tony Pollard to add to their roster um

501
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. So they signed Mitch Dubinsky and for a

502
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: minute it looked like, all right, well Troope is gonna

503
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: be the starter. And then the Steeplers go out and

504
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: they draft Kenny Pickett. And you know, right after that,

505
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: because we all like shiny new things, everybody's like, well, Kenny,

506
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: it's going to be a starter. They made him the

507
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: first quarterback off the board. He's a Pittsburgh guy. He's

508
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: staying in Pittsburgh. It's a great story. Uh. And now

509
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: many camps have opened and the reports are that Troubinsky

510
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: is the clear and declared number one to be in Pittsburgh.

511
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: So it's a simple question for you, Lauren. In basic

512
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: one quarterback fantasy leagues, is Mitch Rubinsky draftable? No, right there,

513
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 1: I will preface for me. No, I am staying completely

514
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: far away. Like you said, a one quarterback league, we're

515
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: talking lots of other, lots of other fish in the say, okay,

516
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 1: I mean I just however, there is an argument to

517
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: be made where there could be potential. Now guarantee, Mitchell

518
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 1: Trubisky is going to be on the way for wire.

519
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: So see how he does, see where he goes those

520
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: first few weeks, because I have a feeling he might

521
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: be using his legs a little bit more than people

522
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: are giving him credit for being able to do. And

523
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: in fantasy, especially if you're in the classic type of scoring,

524
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: we know that rushing quarterbacks tend to amass a few

525
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: more points than the average just pocket passer, again depending

526
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: on how it is that you score. So I think

527
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: there could be potential for you know, streaming him in

528
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 1: an opportunity, but I do not. I'm not going to

529
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: run out and be like that. That's justin Herbert, you know, like, no,

530
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: let's let's not go there. I mean, Mike, I mean

531
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: you talk about the the Uncle Rico paradigm, right, I

532
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: mean Trubisky through a grand total of eight passes last

533
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 1: year backing up Josh Allen. But for whatever reason, I mean,

534
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: you remember it, we all remember it. At the end

535
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: of last season, there was all this talk about how

536
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: Truebisky was going to be a hot commodity on the

537
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: free agent market. All these coaches, all these teams look

538
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: at him and said, we can fix him. We can

539
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 1: make him better, right we you know we have we

540
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: can rebuild him. We have the technology. Um, and he,

541
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: you know, was was kind of a wanted man. Um.

542
00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: I don't even know where I'm going with this other

543
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: than like what I thought in my head is like

544
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 1: is he talking about a cyborg? Like a little bit right,

545
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: But there's this belief that suddenly Mitch Robinsky maybe is

546
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: better than what we saw all those years in Chicago. Obviously,

547
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: he was never going to be a starter in Buffalo.

548
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as Josh Allen was healthy, we

549
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: knew that was never going to be the case. Is

550
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: there something we're missing or is there is there a

551
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: world you can imagine where he ends up being kind

552
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: of a waiver wire darling in an offense that I mean,

553
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: let's be honest, they do have weapons. There are there

554
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: are pass catchers, there, there are playmakers there. Can you

555
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: dream a world where Mitch Drobisky, maybe it's not drafted,

556
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: but somebody snags him off the waiver wire and week

557
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: two and ends up with a pretty solid streaming quarterback. Yeah,

558
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: I think so. And it's exactly what Lawren said. Like,

559
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky can run. He he is a mobile quarterback.

560
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: We've seen him have really good Fantasy days because of

561
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: what he can do with his legs, and I think

562
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 1: we're all holding out hope that he can be better

563
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: in an offensive system that let's face it, Matt Naggy

564
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 1: was a failed experiment, So I think the the expectation

565
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: was if he goes somewhere else, he could be better.

566
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: All that being said, Marcus, when you opened up this question,

567
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: you were like people on Fantasy Twitter like Kenny Picketts

568
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: the starter. I am firmly in that camp. Like Kenny

569
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: Pickett is a twenty four year old fifth year starter

570
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: out of Pittsburgh. The one big thing about Kenny Pickett

571
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: coming out was he's by far the most ready NFL quarterback. Uh,

572
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: And then you look at the situation. He's twenty four.

573
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: There's one starter on the offensive side of the ball

574
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: that is older than twenty five years old, and there's

575
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,360
Speaker 1: one starter on the offensive side of the ball that

576
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: is due to have a contract expire in the next year,

577
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: and that is Deonti Johnson, who expect them to lock up.

578
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: So I think there's a lot to be said for

579
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: having continuity and letting this offense kind of grow organically

580
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: together and if to take it even a step further.

581
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: While we all like hyped up Mitch Dubisky, the NFL

582
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: a lot of the time tells on itself and with

583
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: his contract told us is he's viewed as a backup

584
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: two years, fourteen million. That's less than Tyrod Taylor. God,

585
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: I believe. So, like while he got some hype from us,

586
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: the NFL didn't really give him that kind of money

587
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 1: that was like, you're going to be the starter. So

588
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: I still am in the camp that Pickett is the

589
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: week one starter, and if not, I think within the

590
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: first month we see him take over. All right, Lauren,

591
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: if if you're if you are drafting a Steelers wide receiver,

592
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson, Chase Claypool, whomever it may be. Do you

593
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: want rubisky or do you want pick it at quarterback? Oh?

594
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: I do have the thing with hands. I'm totally kidding. Honestly,

595
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm not really I'm not really sure it's gonna matter

596
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: because the wide receiver that I'm going after is going

597
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: to be Deonta Johnson and he has proven to me

598
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 1: that he can get it done with Mason Rudolph and

599
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: Duck Hodges. So I don't really care who's throwing the ball.

600
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: My my husky, palm, skey, whatever, what's your breed? Who

601
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: are you? She can do a good job and it'll

602
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: be fine. So yeah, I'm going after Deonta Johnson. I'm

603
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: not really that concerned about who is going to be

604
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: under center um for that particular player that I'm going for.

605
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: Other than that, I think I'm going to stay away

606
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: from the likes of Chase Claypool. Um fire muth is interesting.

607
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 1: Uh late, I mean I'm not I'm not really you know,

608
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: jumping on that one. But that one receiver I want

609
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: that is definitely Deonte Johnson, and I don't care is

610
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: throwing him the ball. Fun fact, if you go to

611
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 1: Mitch Robinski's page on Pro Football Reference. They list his

612
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: m VP award, his Nickelodeon Invaluable Player. They it's listed

613
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: there right next to right next to his one Pro

614
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: Bowl appearance, uh so Pro Football Reference, making sure that

615
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: he gets all of his flowers right now for that

616
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 1: he had with the Bears. Um all right, once in

617
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: a quick little round of either or either or either

618
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: or whatever however you pronounce it, um where I looked

619
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: at a couple of teammates uh that have varying a

620
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: DPS and sort of get your opinions on which one

621
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: of these two players you'd rather have at that a DP.

622
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: So let's start in Denver with everybody's favorite running back

623
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: Javontay Williams, who right now has a late round one

624
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 1: a d P. I feel like maybe it's still hasn't

625
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: adjusted based on Melvin Gordon coming back to the Broncos

626
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: because javont is a round one, Melvin Gordon's in round eight.

627
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: So Florida, I will start with you at their current

628
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: a DPS, which one of these guys would you rather have?

629
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon? And it's not even close, like I and

630
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,719
Speaker 1: you know, marcause I love Javonty Williams. I thought like

631
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: he should have been a first round pick if Melvin

632
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: Gordon was gone. I thought he has the RB one upside,

633
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: and I still think he does, but it would involve

634
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 1: something happening to Melvin Gordon, Like they brought him back

635
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: because he's really popular player there. They were other people

636
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: like they wanted him back there. And I don't think

637
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna see nearly as many RB touches as we

638
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: did last year. I mean, each of these guys had

639
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: over two hundred carries and they were both heavily used

640
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: in the passing game. I think we're just with Russell Wilson,

641
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna see more passing there and a lot less

642
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 1: throwing to the running backs. He's not Teddy Bridge order,

643
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: it's just their very different style of quarterbacks. Um. But

644
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: we did see Melvin Gordon last year was the back

645
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: that got the more usage in the red zone and

646
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 1: near the goal line. And I wouldn't be surprised if

647
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,479
Speaker 1: we see a similar approach to how we did last year.

648
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: I know it's a new coaching staff, and by the way,

649
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett has a long history of using multiple running backs.

650
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: That's why we hated Jamal Williams all those years when

651
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: we wanted Aaron Jones set free. But I wouldn't be

652
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: surprised because both of these guys are so talented if

653
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 1: it was just like one series Javon, say, one series Melvin.

654
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: So instead of drafting Javonty at his ceiling, I'll take

655
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: the seven round discount there. Yeah, I agree, Uh, Lauren,

656
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: how do you feel about that one? Oh? Exactly the same.

657
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,239
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about a running back by

658
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: committee that has an almost perfect split, it's those two.

659
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter how many times they touched the

660
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: ball or not touch the ball, it's still probably going

661
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: to be the same. So I'm not gonna waste a

662
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: first round draft pick on a guy who's going to

663
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: have similar, if not the exact same production, on a

664
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: guy that I can get in the eighth round. Yeah,

665
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still waiting. I feel like the DP is

666
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna come down on Javonte Williams. It just hasn't. It

667
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: hasn't hit yet, so kind of like this one. It's

668
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: like this one teammate of mine when he was telling

669
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: me to select my keepers, and he was really surprised

670
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: that I wanted to keep Christian McCaffrey and Cooper Cup

671
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: because he's like, what about Javonte Williams. I was like, well,

672
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon's back, and he's like, so it doesn't matter.

673
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: He's still the better. Stop it. It's you who to keep.

674
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 1: I have no idea. I don't I'm like, you know,

675
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: I do this for a living, right, Like, yeah, but

676
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: Punky and you should do it. Talent versus opportunity. I'm

677
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: telling you, Javonte Williams really talented, but as long as

678
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon is there, the opportunity is not going to

679
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: be what we wanted to be. So alright, so Gordon

680
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: in a clean sweep here? All right? Next one, UH

681
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: start with you Lauren Clyde Edwards Ahlaire, who has been

682
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:50,719
Speaker 1: a perennial Fantasy disappointment in round four, or Ronald Jones,

683
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: who is maybe one of the most argued about players

684
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Twitter in round nine? Where are you going?

685
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: This is such a situational question, but I'm going to

686
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 1: go ahead and stick with c E H here um

687
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: and I want nothing to do with Ronald Jones, but

688
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: let's just look at that lesser of two. Um not

689
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: fun running backs that I would want to deal. So

690
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Clyde Edward's a laire and hope that

691
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: I have some pretty solid roster construction ideas that I'm

692
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: going to have to work around in order to take him.

693
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: But I mean there's another situation to this too, is

694
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: I think the offense is going to really really need

695
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: to rely on him. So I think we're gonna see

696
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: a different type of Clyde Edwards a layer than we've

697
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: seen before, hopefully if he can stay healthy. So I'm not.

698
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: I'm not as down on him as a lot of

699
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: people have been because I never had him on my

700
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: fantasy team yet, So I'm not. I'm not. You have

701
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: not personally personally disappointed, have not been mortally wounded by see.

702
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I'm fresh, I'm green, i I'm I'm

703
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: I'll try, you know, like I tried sushi once loved it.

704
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,239
Speaker 1: So who knows, Maybe maybe this is this will be

705
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: the time. Who knows? All right, So he's so is

706
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: he is? He's sort of like another street food that

707
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 1: you see. You know, I'll give that shot. We'll see

708
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: what he's like. Highly recommend. All right there, Florida which

709
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: which into this are you taking? So at that cost,

710
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,879
Speaker 1: I I slightly lean Ronald Jones, but like I got

711
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: c h in a Best Ball draft this week as

712
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: my RB three in the seventh round, and I'm like,

713
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,320
Speaker 1: at that price, I will take him all day because

714
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: I we always saw Clyde Edwards Hlaires the early down

715
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: back and Darryl Williams kind of spelling him. I think

716
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,720
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is gonna take more of those low value

717
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: touches away, like those between the twenty carries, and then

718
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: I think Clyde Edwards Hiler will be more used in

719
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: the passing game, which is what we've wanted for him

720
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: since he's came to the Chiefs. So if that's the case,

721
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: we may potentially get the best year we've had yet

722
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: out of c H. And uh and he's going cheaper

723
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: than ever. All right, Uh, this may be my Homerism showing,

724
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go road Joe. I'm I I can't.

725
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 1: I can't quite quit him no matter what. Like I

726
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: always I will admit this, I always find some excuse

727
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: for why Ronald Jones maybe didn't live fully up to expectations.

728
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: I mean, we go back to he was pretty good, right,

729
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 1: he had total yards, he had eight total touchdowns. Were

730
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: still splitting time, I you know. And then the next

731
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: year he sort of disappeared again. For whatever reason, he

732
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 1: he and Bruce arians just didn't get along. He didn't

733
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: see eye to eye, and I feel like that sort

734
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: of held him back. Maybe now he goes to a

735
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: new place, there's a new coaching staff, maybe he gets

736
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: himself in better there a little bit. I still think

737
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: he's he's really talented. Um. I think he and c

738
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: H You're gonna split opportunities. But I just think that

739
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: at the cost, I'm willing to go with Rojoe. I'm

740
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: willing to give him one more shot, right, I'm not

741
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 1: willing to give up. I'm not willing to let go

742
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: of the rope yet on Ronald Jones. Although I mean,

743
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,279
Speaker 1: if Edwards Hilaire is hanging out there in the seventh round,

744
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: then that feels that feels too hard to pass up. Um.

745
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: But if we're talking round four versus round nine, I'm

746
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: willing to throw my chips back in with Ronald Jones

747
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: at least one more year. I'll live to regret it.

748
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: Probably That's where I am. I'm planting my flag, and

749
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: I'm sticking with it right now. Um, all right, let's

750
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: go wide receivers here. The Miami Dolphins. And I had

751
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: a chance to sit in on Move the Sticks yesterday

752
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: and talk with Bucky Brooks if we were talking about

753
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 1: the Dolphins a little bit. I mentioned then that it

754
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 1: feels like Dolphins social media is going out of its

755
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: way to prove to us that two a tongue of

756
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: viola can throw a good deep ball and that he

757
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: and Tyreek Hill are connecting right Ever since that first

758
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,320
Speaker 1: one floorial where it was underthrown and they got roasted

759
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,919
Speaker 1: by the entire Internet for it, they seem to really

760
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: be trying hard to prove to us that twa can

761
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: get it down the field. That being said, he's got

762
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: a couple of speedsters in his passing game, Tyreek killing

763
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: round two Jalen Waddle and round four? Uh, Lauren, Which

764
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: of these two would you rather have? At that cost?

765
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: First of all, I hate you for this question I

766
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,839
Speaker 1: made you because this is this is nearly impossible. It's

767
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: like choosing between your two children, like which one is

768
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: your favorite? Although we all have one, okay, everybody everybody's

769
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: got one that's perfect. So for me. Oh, this is

770
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,360
Speaker 1: so hard, but I think I think I'm gonna go

771
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: with Jalen Waddle. Um, I'm huh. And the reason I'm

772
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: having it high about this because I'm going to make

773
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 1: this a situational thing again, and I'm sorry to make

774
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: it so not cut and dry for everybody, but for me,

775
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 1: it's going to depend on who where I'm drafting in

776
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: the draft in the first place. Who I already have

777
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: set up as my solid running backs. Am I going

778
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: to go running back heavy? Who do I need to get?

779
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to waste a second

780
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: round draft pick on Tyreek Hill when there are so

781
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: many mouths to feed in that offense. I'd rather wait

782
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,839
Speaker 1: until the fourth to get Jalen Waddle, who already has

783
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: chemistry built up with two a tongue of violoa that

784
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: I don't really need to worry about, who played great

785
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: last year and totally just droid all of my arguments

786
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 1: about why I don't like young receivers. But it's fine,

787
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: you know what, We'll just leave that I don't care. Um,

788
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: I like him plus his you know, touchdown dances epic.

789
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: So um, yeah, it's tough. It's really, really, really tough. Though.

790
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if either of these is a wrong answer.

791
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: Let me just tell you that as a host and

792
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: as the person who puts together this rundown, when I

793
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: asked someone the question and they go with the that

794
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: makes me feel like I did my job right, you know,

795
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: like when I ask a question like it's so and

796
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 1: so and it's not even close, I'm like, what am

797
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,399
Speaker 1: I doing here? You know? So when people I feel

798
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: like that was just a job over here on Florio's

799
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: it's not even Gordon, it's not even close. Next moving on, Yeah,

800
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: I do this all the time. It's fine, you know whatever.

801
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: All right, So, Florida, I I pose the same question

802
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: to you, Tyreek or Jalen Waddle. Um, I would go

803
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: with Tyreke of the two because it's really close. Actually,

804
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: I Wattle asked you was a little bit dependent on

805
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: all of his catches, and I'm not sure he can

806
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 1: get that total again with Tyreek now in the fray.

807
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: But truth be told, I'm fading both of them. Like

808
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: I love each of their individual talents, but I I

809
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: I looked back at teams last year that we're able

810
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: to support two wide receiver twos in the same offense,

811
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: and basically you need to be You easily need to

812
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: be a top ten offense, but you pretty much need

813
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 1: to have a top five scoring offense and be top

814
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: five and like touchdown percentage and and I just don't

815
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: think this offense is gonna be able to sustain two

816
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: high powered receivers um and if it is, I'll gladly

817
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: be wrong because you're not getting a I don't feel

818
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: like you're getting much of a discount on either of them.

819
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: Uh So, my approach with the Miami Dolphins has kind

820
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: of been leave the receivers because there's also like Mike

821
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: Asecki there. We know they're gonna run the ball a

822
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: good amount. If Mike McDaniel is anything like the forty

823
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: Niners have been in years past, I'll take the shot

824
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 1: on two of though, because I could get too my

825
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: QB two and like the round. And then if these

826
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: two guys live up to expectations, you know who's gonna

827
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: be really good for fantasy to ah. And if those

828
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: guys aren't good, I could easily just cut t a

829
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: whereas if I invested a second or fourth round pick,

830
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start these guys all year and never want

831
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: to move them and hate myself for it. Yeah, I

832
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: want to piggyback off of that really quick if I can. Marcus,

833
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm also in that same camp, Florio, I say, fade

834
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: both of them, um, and I'm gonna agreed that to

835
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 1: a hundred percent. Um. I like him as well. But

836
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: a sneaky one that I think you can get later

837
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: is going to be Chase Edmonds, and I like what

838
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 1: he can possibly do. First of all, they just went

839
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: like Sam's Club shopping in bulk for running backs this offseason,

840
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: am I right? So? But he is different than all

841
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: of them, And what's so interesting is that he reminds

842
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: me of a Deebo Samuel light if he will, He's

843
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: already a great pass catcher, he already is a running back,

844
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: which is kind of exactly what happened to Deebo Samuel

845
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: last year. So the only player, aside from to A

846
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: that I very excited it about for the Dolphins is

847
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: going to be Chase Edmonds because I really want to

848
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: see what McDaniel's gonna do with him, and if it's

849
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: going to be that trickery and that fun sort of

850
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: creative scheming that we've seen from the forty diners and

851
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: from him in the run game, and if he's going

852
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: to use a basically a built in pass catching running

853
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: back already in in Chase Edmonds, I'm excited about that one.

854
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: To play off of Lauren's example, real quick, they went

855
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: Costco shopping for all of their running backs. But they

856
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: were like, listen, we're having company. We can't get caught,

857
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 1: like we have to pay up for one meal? Edmonds

858
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: was that meal? Yeah, yeah, and and not only that.

859
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: Then they were like, well, okay, so we're already buying

860
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: all these running backs. Now we need to update the

861
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: patio furniture. We need a new area rug. It's crazy. Wow,

862
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: I always do have have Mike McDaniel's more of a

863
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: Costco guy than a Sam's Club guy. But you know

864
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 1: that's neither here nor there. Um. Also, the pivots, all this, too,

865
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: of love was a plot twist I did not see

866
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,760
Speaker 1: coming when I put this question together. For the record,

867
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: I think I'd still go Tyreek Hill, even though it's

868
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: more of an investment, just because just because of the

869
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: investment the Dolphins made in him, and I think that

870
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: to me signals that they really want to try to

871
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: make him the centerpiece of their passing game. They're gonna

872
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: get him the football as much as possible. Um. You know, look,

873
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle is certainly a nice compliment and he can

874
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 1: be very successful as well. But I just think with

875
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: everything the Dolphins put in to acquiring and retaining Tyreek Hill,

876
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: I think that that to me signals that that they

877
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: are really going to try and and force feed him

878
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: the football. Alright, last one before we take a quick break,

879
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,279
Speaker 1: Uh A J. Brown in round two, DeVante Smith in

880
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,520
Speaker 1: round six Florida. I will start with you. I will

881
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: go a J. Brown there. I mean they traded for

882
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: him and within minutes made him a massive contract, gave

883
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: him a massive contract extensions. So I think they clearly

884
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 1: have big plans for him. I think DeVonta Smith is more,

885
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: uh the complementary piece there. I think he'll stretch the

886
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: field and help there. But I think we're gonna see

887
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,879
Speaker 1: a lot of generated short throws to a J. Brown

888
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 1: and let him kind of do what he does after

889
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 1: the catch debos one of one. But the closest thing

890
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: to him, in my opinion, is a J. Brown. But Marcus,

891
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: this is another situation where rather than the receivers, I'm cool,

892
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,480
Speaker 1: taking neither of them and just getting Jalen Hurts too.

893
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: I think could finishes the QB one this year. Yeah,

894
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Jalen Hurts love out there without

895
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: without a doubt. I mean, Lauren, I think A. J.

896
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: Brown said he thinks both of these guys are number

897
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: one wide receivers. Which one would you rather have? Honestly,

898
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go with Florio here. I'm mom

899
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 1: that A J. Brown train. I've loved him for so long.

900
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: First of all, his smile is the most contagious thing

901
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 1: you've ever seen, Like it lights up the universe. Like

902
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: if everyone looked that nice when they smiled, there would

903
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: be no fighting. He's just he just looks splendid. And

904
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,280
Speaker 1: but his skin is so perfect it makes me exactly

905
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: speaking of really nice skain, Florio, I need to know

906
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: what kind of you look air brushed? Okay, And it's

907
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: not okay because I'm like, oh my god, I have

908
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: such a bad crow's feet. Look at this line in

909
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: my forehead and you're all like perfection. No, I have

910
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: like wrinkles under this head. I mean I don't. Actually,

911
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean I was just saying like I need to

912
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: start doing skincare routes means because I don't do nearly enough,

913
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: like I do hardly any well. Peek behind the curtain.

914
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: When you have like a ring line, you know that

915
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: is shining on you, it tends to like wash everything out. Right.

916
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,160
Speaker 1: My husband when he first came home from work the

917
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 1: first time I really started doing podcast with you know,

918
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: professional camera and like nice light and stuff, he walked

919
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: in the front door and was like, oh my god,

920
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,760
Speaker 1: what's all over your face? Because you have I literally

921
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,760
Speaker 1: looked like a clown. I'm like super contoured, like lots

922
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: of makeup, but when you see me on camera and

923
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: it kind of looks like did she just wake up?

924
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: Like that's you know, that's kind of how it happens.

925
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: But I need to know what camera you have because

926
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: you look flawless. The answer is a J. Brown. The

927
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: answer is a J. Brown for me too. I do

928
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: like DeVante Smith, but again sort of like with Tyreek Hill, right,

929
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles went out and acquired A J. Brown, as

930
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned Florida, they locked him up. He is the

931
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: guy that they want. So he's the guy that I

932
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 1: would take round two even over over Davante Smith in

933
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: round six. All right, Uh, that was beefy. Didn't expect

934
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,359
Speaker 1: this this portion of the show to be so beefy.

935
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll take a break, come back, we do

936
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,399
Speaker 1: the fun stuff. Now, we're gonna do a fantasy draft

937
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: of things after the break on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

938
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: So we're hanging out here with step Mom, Lauren and

939
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 1: the Last People did a fantasy draft of things with

940
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: Troy King redrafted non alcoholic beverages and it turned out

941
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 1: to be a good time, and social media ran with it.

942
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: So we're gonna do it again, except this time. Uh,

943
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: and don't ask me why I've been it. There's there's

944
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: no rhyme or reasons why I picked some of the

945
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 1: things I do. But I figured, let's do best animated movie. Oh,

946
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: I know why I was. I I was sort of

947
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: having a hankering. I went to I actually went to

948
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 1: a movie recently. Uh. Finally saw the new Doctor Strange movie.

949
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: Really enjoyed it. I thought it was thought it was

950
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Uh. And they showed the trailer

951
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: for light Year, which I think is gonna be really interesting. Uh.

952
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 1: You know, especially if you're a big toy story person,

953
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: you get the buzz Lightyear back story. Also, Chris Evans

954
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: gets to play another superhero. It's not fair, dude. You

955
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,279
Speaker 1: were you were you were the Human Court, you were

956
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: the Human Worch in the Fantastic Four movie. You've been

957
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: Captain America and the whole m c U. Now you're

958
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 1: playing buzz light Year. Like, let somebody else do things, Chris,

959
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: I have a question about the new buzz Lightyear movie. Yes,

960
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: why does buzz Lightyear look different if he's made of

961
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 1: plastic and it's a toy? So I thought that too,

962
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: but then I really thought, okay, so there it's based

963
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: on like a I don't know if he was an

964
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: actual person, but like it's the legend of buzz light Year, right,

965
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: so he's like an actual character that you know. The

966
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: legend stort sort of starts with what happened in this

967
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 1: movie and then they make an action figure out of him. Okay,

968
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: sort of like how animated movie, don't overthink it. Board

969
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: driving the other day and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa.

970
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,839
Speaker 1: That is not the buzz Lightyear. I know and love, Yeah,

971
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: I know. It's sort of like how like you know,

972
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: my my Draymond Green Bomblehead looks nothing like actual Draymond

973
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: Green sort is he gonna? Is he gonna get ejected

974
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: from your house? He really is. He basically starts the

975
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: day with one technical when I walk into When I

976
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: walk in the room, he's already got one T and

977
00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, as long as you don't act up,

978
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: we'll be fine. So all right, So anyway, we will

979
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: do a four round draft. We'll each pick four movies. Uh,

980
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 1: and you know as the as the guest Lauren and said,

981
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 1: we'll go, well Lauren first because she is our guest here. Uh, Floria,

982
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: you will go second and I will go third. Well,

983
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: we'll just we'll keep that order. We won't snake, We'll

984
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: just kind of keep that order the whole time. So Lauren, Uh,

985
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: the floor is yours. What is the one dot oh

986
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: one in your mind of animated movies? See, in my

987
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: mind is not going to get me votes, So I

988
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: will incorporate those after I take this first pick that

989
00:47:43,080 --> 00:47:46,400
Speaker 1: I think was so iconic it's going to be remembered

990
00:47:46,440 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 1: for forever. And uh there, I mean, this song gets

991
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 1: stuck in people's heads. It's probably still is. Animals react

992
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: to it, everybody loves it for me, it's got to

993
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: be frozen. Frozen, It's Frozen. It's yeah, I don't like that.

994
00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: I just said it. It tastes kind of bad because

995
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: I'm not really I love animated movies. Um and I

996
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: did like Frozen, but I feel like it's the super

997
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: low hanging fruit, like I just took a cheap shot.

998
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I feel like it had to

999
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:16,239
Speaker 1: be picked one on one like that is where it

1000
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 1: needs to be. Okay, alright, so Frozen the first movie

1001
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: off the board. So Florio it's now to you. This

1002
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: is when like, uh, you know, a team has something

1003
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: like a quarterback they wanted to or whatever, and then

1004
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: some and then it doesn't. He doesn't go at one.

1005
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 1: I really thought we just talked about it. I thought

1006
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 1: Toy Story was gonna go number one Toys. I grew

1007
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 1: up on Toy Story I've seen. Like I'm the adult.

1008
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: I'm not embarrassed to say it. I'm the adult who

1009
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: has gone to see Toy Story three in theaters. I

1010
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: went to see Toy Story four in theaters, Like Toy

1011
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: Story is my childhood, so I'm ecstatic to get it

1012
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 1: at two. Yeah, no, Toys. I I was hoping it

1013
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 1: would fall, but I kind of knew better. You grew

1014
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: up on Toy Story. Yeah, when did Toy Story come out?

1015
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk to you any It wasn't me.

1016
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:05,439
Speaker 1: It was in the mid nineties. I believe when Toy

1017
00:49:05,520 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: Story came out. It came out in November of I

1018
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: was the targeted audience. Yeah, I remember. I remember seeing

1019
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: the first Toy Story in theaters. I was. I was

1020
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 1: in college. That's how old I am. Uh And but

1021
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 1: I do remember seeing it in theaters. In fact, fun

1022
00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: story side note that the the L. Cappy Tan Theater

1023
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: in Hollywood, which I think at the time it might

1024
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: still be, was owned by Disney. So they would show

1025
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: all the Disney movies and then you play a little

1026
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,479
Speaker 1: lecture and they would do a stage show like after

1027
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: the film. And so I remember my sister and I

1028
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: going to see Toy Story in the theater and then

1029
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: doing the stage show thing afterwards. They had, you know,

1030
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: people dressed up in costumes like Woody and buzz and

1031
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: and the whole thing. So, all right, so we got

1032
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 1: those two off the board. Toy Story is older than

1033
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: producer Randy. We just found out. Oh no, wow, I

1034
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: literally just grew to mar that that just knocked the

1035
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 1: wind out of me. My arthritis just flared up. I mean,

1036
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: oh man, all right, so I'm gonna make my first

1037
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: round pick. Here. We got a couple of really good

1038
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: choices off the board. I'm gonna go with one that

1039
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 1: also does have a couple of sequels, although they worked

1040
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 1: as good as the first one. Um, but I'm gonna

1041
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 1: take Shrek as as my first Shrek, which was solid.

1042
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I mean, you had Mike Myers Andy

1043
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: Murphy together. Uh it even kind of kept it kept

1044
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: smash Mouth relevant for a few more years. Even like

1045
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: that was that was a big deal. So I will

1046
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:35,920
Speaker 1: take Shrek in the into the first round. Alright, So

1047
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 1: started started round two, Lauren. Oh, we're not snaking this, okay. Alright,

1048
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 1: so since we only have four uh now, I'm just

1049
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: terrified that no one is going to know my references

1050
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 1: except for Marcus, like because my fun animated movies are

1051
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 1: like apparently prehistoric. So you know what, let's go with that.

1052
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go the Land before Wow. Alright, old school

1053
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: classic speaking of prehistoric, likely from the Jurassic era, great time.

1054
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 1: Like me, I feel like I feel like that's a

1055
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: movie that my sister had on VHS and like just

1056
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 1: kind of wore it out. I can make this whole

1057
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: draft about like Disney movies, but I'm gonna I'm gonna

1058
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 1: veer off a little bit. I'm gonna go to the

1059
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 1: end before time, great movie, sad movie because obviously we

1060
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: know how it ends, so things don't work out well

1061
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: for the dinosaurs. They don't. Shockingly, yes, all right, Florio

1062
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: and it's to you now. Um So I went with

1063
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 1: the little strategy because I love Toy Story. But Toy

1064
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: Story is actually my second favorite animated movie of all time,

1065
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,839
Speaker 1: my first. It is the first movie I ever saw

1066
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 1: in theaters. I think that it rivals Toy Story. You

1067
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: just can't build the franchise around it. It's the Lion

1068
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: King like a Snake was enough. My one oh one

1069
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,320
Speaker 1: was between Lion King and Frozen, between and Frozen, but

1070
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 1: I was worried everyone was gonna be like, no, that's,

1071
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, not the like the new one, like the

1072
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 1: real life blanking that they tried admitting you. Anyway, that

1073
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: was a good pick, is what I'm trying to say.

1074
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: Do you ever get more hype than when Symbol returns

1075
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: to fight Scar I mean, come on, man, I'm sorry, Marcus.

1076
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: I had that so locked up, and I'm like, it's

1077
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a great draft, all right, So now I

1078
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: gotta go somewhere off the board. The good thing is

1079
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: I had another one loaded up, so now I'm just

1080
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,040
Speaker 1: gonna go. I'm not gonna say it's to reach because

1081
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: I think this is one of the greatest. It is

1082
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: one of the greatest animated movies of all time, and

1083
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: in my mind, this is the greatest superhero movie ever

1084
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: ever made. So my second round picked, I'm taking into

1085
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,920
Speaker 1: the Spider Verse. I have to watch that. You have

1086
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 1: to watch into the Spider Verse. You absolutely do it

1087
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 1: is I remember seeing it. I think I went to

1088
00:52:58,239 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 1: a late night showing. I think I had to work.

1089
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 1: It's went to a midnight showing and it was like

1090
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: me and maybe three other people in the theater, and

1091
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: I was blown. I stayed for the credits mostly anyway,

1092
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,279
Speaker 1: but I sat and watched the credit because I just

1093
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't move, Like that movie was so amazing to me.

1094
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 1: And I say this as a Spiderman nerd like I've got,

1095
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, multiple Spiderman bobble heads and and Funko pops

1096
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: here on my on my rack here, but into the

1097
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,000
Speaker 1: Spider Versus absolutely incredible. Not to completely get us off topic,

1098
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm about to watch all of the new Spider Man movies,

1099
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: where like, in what order does this one fall in

1100
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: with the new ones or is it separate? Um the

1101
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: spider movie that just came out, like the new three,

1102
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: the New trilogy. I haven't seen any of them. So

1103
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: the Spider Man No Way Home h might be the

1104
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: best Marvel movie. I love that movie. No Way, No

1105
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,960
Speaker 1: Way Home is maybe the best one. But I will

1106
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: say that you kind of need to watch some of

1107
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 1: the earlier ones because they referenced a lot of things

1108
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: from the original. Well, there are three trilogies. There are

1109
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: three Spider Man trilogies. But he's not gonna yeah, no

1110
00:53:58,200 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: Way Home is not going to make sense unless you've

1111
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: seen the other the other like the Peter Park Uh,

1112
00:54:04,360 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: Toby maguire. One saw all of them in theaters. I

1113
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: saw I forget the actor in the second, but I

1114
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: haven't seen the new trilogy. So I was wondering where

1115
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: into the Spider Verse falls in the and the Andrew

1116
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: Garfield wants to like you you do have to see

1117
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 1: them in order to get the full impact of No

1118
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 1: Way Home. But No Way Home might be it is.

1119
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: It is on the list in the Conversation for best

1120
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:29,680
Speaker 1: Marvel Movie. Absolutely agreed. So alright, so that gets us

1121
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: through two rounds, round three, Lauren, it's back to you, Okay.

1122
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: This is gonna be when people really start to learn

1123
00:54:37,560 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: about who I am. Now. My choice here is going

1124
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: to be between two very similar type of animation. But

1125
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 1: I have to go with the one. I think that

1126
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: really was, in my opinion, a little groundbreaking with how

1127
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: we saw animation, how we saw love stories. Kind of

1128
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: a weird crossover between seasons. If you will, I'm gonna

1129
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: go The Nightmare before Christmas. Oh, that's a good call.

1130
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 1: That's weird, right. That is a strong that's a strong entry. Uh,

1131
00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 1: anything from the Tim Burton universe. Yeah, it was just different.

1132
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 1: It was. It was. It was beautiful, but it was creepy.

1133
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: But it was also like very touching, romantic. I don't know,

1134
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: it was fun, it was. It was a very interesting movie.

1135
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: I have no beef with that, all right, Floria, it's

1136
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 1: Floria's yours. I'm gonna go with another one that I

1137
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 1: saw in theaters before. Um, and it's it's so iconic

1138
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: now it's finding Nemo. Like I feel like you can't

1139
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: see a clown fish or any of those fish without

1140
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: being like that is Nemo. So it holds up like

1141
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 1: it still makes me laugh. Plus it also fits in

1142
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 1: the Pixar Pixar cannon in the sense that like it

1143
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 1: starts with a really scary, incredibly sad moment, like every

1144
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: Pixar movie is designed to either terrify and or depress you,

1145
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: uh and then build you back up as you go

1146
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 1: through the rest of the story. So so yeah, I

1147
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: find a definitely fits there. Um alright, So where am

1148
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:07,840
Speaker 1: I gonna go here for my third pick? Uh? I

1149

00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:18,359
Speaker 1: gonna go. I think I'm gonna go old school. I'm

1152
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: gonna go back deep in the Disney art and actually

1153
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm gonna I'm gonna hold off. I might

1154
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: have just given away what my last pick is going

00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 1: to be, But you know what I'm gonna go. I'm

1156
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 1: gonna say the Lego movie, which it was incredibly fun,

1157
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 1: uh and it got to incorporate so many different other

1158
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:37,800
Speaker 1: characters from different I p s. You know, Batman and

Speaker 1: would like let it Go and what have you? Like?

Speaker 1: could go forever never, Okay, Um, all right, I'm going

1170
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,720
Speaker 1: to do one that I guarantee neither of you have seen.

1171
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 1: But the select few people out there in the Twitter

1172
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: verse who will see this poll, we'll know exactly what

1173
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:29,360
Speaker 1: this movie is and why I grew up Uh basically

1174
00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: a gamer nerd. I love video games. My favorite franchise

1175
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 1: is Final Fantasy. So my last pick is going to

1176
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 1: be Final Fantasy seven advent Children. Oh now, I haven't

1177
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: seen that Final Fantasy movie. I saw The Spirits Within,

1178
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 1: but I did not see Final Fantasy. It is really good,

1179
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 1: literally I'm getting a blank stare from Florio. Right now.

1180
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 1: I've played the games. I've never seen the movies Clown

1181
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: and Ti fuck saw The Spirits Within, which was spectacularly mediocre,

1182
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: but I have it was it was fine, There's nothing

1183
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: memorable about it. But alright, final Fantasy seven? All right?

1184
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:09,040
Speaker 1: Um so, alright, so Florio your final pick on deck.

1185
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: I need a judgment call from you guys, because I

1186
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: don't know if this is fully in animated movie. I

1187
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,840
Speaker 1: know most of it is. But the Space Jam, the

1188
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,040
Speaker 1: original with Michael Jordan, does that count as animated? I

1189
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: can't I count that absolutely, I would say so. I

1190
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: mean that's cartoon characters, right and there. I had a

1191
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: backup in case, but I'll go with the original Space

1192
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 1: Jam there. I I've watched that movie. I can't tell

1193
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: you how many times. Like as a kid, I would

1194
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,920
Speaker 1: just put it on all the time. So, now have

1195
00:58:37,080 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: you seen the so this is the version with Michael Jordan.

1196
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: Have you seen the Lebron version? You know it's funny.

1197
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 1: I have the Lebron funko pop from the movie. I'm

1198
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: a huge Lebron fan. I love Space Sham. I have

1199
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:51,080
Speaker 1: not yet seen that one. Okay, I haven't either. I

1200
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: just I just kind of your thoughts were so all right, okay,

1201
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: so uh for me to round it out, Um, this

1202
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 1: one is uh maybe one that that people. I feel like,

1203
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 1: if you are a Disney aficionado, you probably love this movie.

1204
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: And to me, this is maybe I think it may

1205
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: be the best Disney animated movie if you pick the one.

1206
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: If you picked the one I was going to pick,

1207
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to be upset. It is certainly my favorite

1208
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: animated Disney movie. Uh, I'm gonna go with Robin Hood. Uh,

1209
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 1: the the Disney animated Robin Hood is absolutely incredible. I

1210
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: don't think it gets enough to do within the Disney

1211
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: cannon of films, but it is great. If you haven't

1212
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:44,439
Speaker 1: seen it, I'm sure like if you have Disney Plus,

1213
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: it's probably on Disney Plus, go check it out. But nine,

1214
00:59:48,840 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: the animated Robin Hood was phenomenal. I literally should show

1215
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: you a picture of my notes, and that one's the

1216
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: very first one on top. So I was thinking, I'm like, well,

1217
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,040
Speaker 1: and I was trying to do I don't know what

1218
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 1: I was thinking. And I should have between that and

1219
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: and The Jungle Book, because they're both they're both very similar.

1220
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: They're both very good. They're both with late sixties early seventies.

1221
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: But but Robin Hood has a special place in my heart.

1222
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, mind you. Every time we would go to

1223
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:18,640
Speaker 1: the grocery store, you know, like back in the day,

1224
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 1: grocery stores had like the video rental of HS, like

01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: Tay rental like right there. Every week, my dad and

01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,200
Speaker 1: I would go and I would always rent that movie

1227
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:27,640
Speaker 1: and it was kind of part of our thing. I

1228
01:00:27,680 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: don't know why you never just bought it. Literally, it's

1229
