00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: is the size of my head. No, it is not

8
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: seven and five eight. That is incorrect. Name a Melans

9
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: large headed man. I can attest to it. It's terrible,

10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: it's awful. I almost had to quit baseball because does

11
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: not fit all her story. In peewee football in seventh grade,

12
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: they had to get me an adult helmet because none

13
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: of the kids I waited. I waited about a hundred

14
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: and thirty pounds in high school, about the same height.

15
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: I look like a bobble head, so I could barely

16
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: keep my my helmet up off my shoulder pads. While

17
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: that that may be true, the fact that might be

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: true that the matter is uh your O C style

19
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: oversized flat brim. First of all, I think it's oh,

20
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: it's very it's very nine five one, Okay. The fact

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 1: that you have all the stickers on there as well.

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: First of all, props for that, should you not, well,

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 1: are you supposed to take them off? You? You generally

24
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: should take the top one off. I like keeping the

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: hologram sticker on the bottom. Anyone who does Anyone who

26
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: takes the hologram off the bottom of the stick uh,

27
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: the bottom of that, that's not that's not. I feel

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: like that's a As someone with a large head, you

29
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't want the sticker that tells everybody what size it

30
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: is on there. You want them to know alright, anyway,

Speaker 1: I like it. All thirty two NFL teams are covered.

68
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: And by the way, Marcus Grant and Adam Rank were

69
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: with me when we did these. We knocked out all

70
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: thirty two all in a row. That was a marathon.

71
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: We were there for four hour. We called it the

72
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: Fantasy two days, but Fantasy two a day, literal day.

73
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's I'm bringing that up to the competition

74
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: committee the competition again. So don't judge us if you

00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: see us were in the same suits. That's all. That's really.

76
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: That was my I think that was my biggest concern, right, Yeah,

77
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: I know you wanted, you wanted to do a tie

78
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: change halfway through, and we wouldn't let you. I did

79
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: want to support some do vaal colors talking about the Jaguars,

80
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: I would switch to orange and blue when talking about

81
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: the bears. But but you didn't have a chance. I

82
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: didn't know, I didn't have a didn't have an opportunity.

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,560

86
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: instead of the top headlines today. I mean, we had

87
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: so many preseason games that the preseason games themselves will

88
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: be the top headlines for to Daniel, by the way,

91
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: we should peel back the curtain because for those that

00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: don't know, Co cooked up the daily Depps drop. He

Speaker 1: cooked up that one as well. He has a history

94
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: in radio. I do want to tell every the listeners,

95
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: what's your nickname was? It's one of my favorite like

96
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: hidden James co jack Ah, this is gonna be great.

97
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: I was the Korean cowboy because I worked in radio.

98
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: And anyone who first gets into the radio biz, you know,

99
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 1: unless you're Adam Ranking your big wig, uh, you've got

100
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: to start small market. I started in Montana in a

101
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: little place called Bishop, California, just south of Mammouth, California

102
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: as well, and uh, part of my job duties included

103
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: spinning country music records. It was really funny. I didn't

104
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: know anything about country music at the time, but I

105
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: became fan thus I became the Korean cowboy in those places.

106
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: But now it was it was. It wasn't the first

107
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks when you had to sell the next song.

108
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: Oh I didn't sell Jack Squad. I mean, look coming up,

109
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 1: George Straight bringing it home. I took these jobs because

110
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: they also offered me sports opportunities, and that's really what

111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: it was. But but no, it's uh yeah, I know

112
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: it was a good time. It was an interesting time

113
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: in my life for sure. When I was getting paid

114
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand uh a week, right, falling on a budget, Yeah,

115
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: that would be uh a negative. Anyways, let's get to

116
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: the preseason games here, and we're going to start New

117
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: England versus Green Bay. We'll start with Davantae Adams, you know,

118
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, not terribly productive obviously, three catches seventeen yards.

119
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: He did have seven targets, but you know, takeaways here

120
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: from watching Davanta Adams play, and we'll start with the

121
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Whiz uh. You know. What I found interesting was that

122
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers actually targeted him I think seven times this game. However,

123
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any reason to panic or start

124
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: overdrafting him. Aaron Rodgers has gone on the record before

125
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: and said in the preseason and practice he loves to

126
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: just throw it at the younger guys because that way

127
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: he knows what they'll do when the spotlight is on

128
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: and it's crunch time. So he knows what's gonna happen

129
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,360
Speaker 1: if he throws to Jonny Nelson, he knows what's gonna

130
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: happen if he throws to Randall Cobb. So if he can,

131
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: he tries to feed it to these guys to see

132
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: how they're gonna respond. And Adam said it's so so

133
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 1: response on the field, Yeah, I would say, I mean,

134
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: seven targets, three catches not great, But as you said,

135
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: it kind of looked like Aaron Rodgers was was forcing

136
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: the issue there. Uh. Jonas Gray, Oh my goodness, I

137
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: mean he just broke off an awesome fifty five yard

138
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: touchdown run. We know last year, um that he had

139
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: a two hundred yard game. Uh, now you see this

140
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: fifty five yard touchdown. We know that, um, that the

141
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: starting running back for the Patriots is gonna be gone

142
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: for a few games here, what do we make of

143
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: the backfield? Marcus, I'm not falling for the banana nail

144
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: pipe again. It's just I'm not doing it. Like I

145
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: watched it, and I watched Jonas Gray rumble, and I'm

146
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: not buying one. I mean, he's he's he's a bigger back, obviously,

147
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: but he's kind of a plotting back. He's not a

148
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: you know, guy who's gonna eat up a ton of

149
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. Uh. And then once le Garrett

150
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: Blunt comes back from his suspension, Greg goes back to

151
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: the bench again. I mean, hopefully he got a better

152
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: alarm clock. Is um you know? Franch franchise Matt Franciscovic

153
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: said this earlier today. Maybe he got a better alarm clock,

154
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: Maybe he'll wake up, maybe he won't mis practice. But

155
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not buying it. I'm not going for

156
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: this again. This is sometimes why I advise people not

157
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: to watch the preseason. It's for your own good because

158
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: otherwise you get too caught up in the moment you

159
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: see a performance like that, like, you know what I'm

160
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: gonna I think I'm gonna draft him in the eighth

161
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: round or something. Cuckoo like that, but don't do it.

162
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: I mean Bill Belichick where he still hates your fantasy team,

163
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: He still doesn't want you to succeed. He still wants

164
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: to ruin everything, and he will. And you know there's

165
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: gonna be one week where Jonas grag Maybe it'll be

166
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: against the Colts again, where he has a monster week.

167
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: Not a lot of people will be playing him, and

168
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: then everybody will pick him up off the waiver wire

169
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: and you'll never hear from him again. It's it's not

170
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: like I remember Anthony Dixon maybe uh four or five

171
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: maybe maybe four seasons ago in the preseason. I think

172
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: he led the preseason for them for the Niners in rushing,

173
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: and he had quite a few really nice highlights. And

174
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: back then he was going by Anthony Dixon, not Booby Dixon,

175
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: but um, and I remember getting so excited for him

176
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: and drafting this dude somewhere like the tenth or eleventh round.

177
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is this, though, the reason I

178
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: see it as a little bit different, and Alex you can,

179
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:58,719
Speaker 1: you know, jump in on this, But the reason I

180
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: see it as a little bit different. We saw production

181
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: from Jonas Gray last year, albeit most largely in one game,

182
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: but it was live action, and that to me is

183
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: kind of maybe the difference between, uh, you know, a

184
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: regular preseason game where you know, random guys shine out

185
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: and what Jonas Gray did in that preseason game against

186
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: Green Bay. Well, I mean the one long touchdown round

187
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: was kind of on a busted play by the Packers.

188
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: They just left a gaping hole and they didn't cover

189
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: it properly. But I think it's gonna be. What it

190
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: does is it makes us just keep an eye on

191
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: Jonas Gray the rest of the preseason because if he

192
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: is getting a lot more of those first team reps

193
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: and he is making good plays. It wasn't just this run.

194
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: He had a couple other nights, but um, if he

195
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: is making those plays, it might be interesting to add

196
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: because Garrett Blunt coming back from a nice brain, uh,

197
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 1: he's supposed to be good. He has that Week one suspensions,

198
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: a little cookhion his recovery. He's a big guy. It

199
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: might not be easy for him to come back from

200
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: that as as much as other people. So Jonas Gray

201
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: could potentially not eighth round. Like Rank said, maybe, yes,

202
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: how about how about third team? Let's push it up

203
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: to the third round round. Joan is great. You have

204
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: fun with that. I honestly don't believe, but just keep

205
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: an eye on it. A New Orleans taken on Baltimore.

206
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: Josh Hill three catches forty yards. He's kind of been

207
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 1: a buzzy name in the off season rank. I don't

208
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: know if you got a chance to see Josh Hill

209
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: in action, but where should I guess what's your uh,

210
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: you know, analysis of that situation in New Orleans? You know,

211
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: don't Jimmy Graham. I know I people are just expecting

212
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: that it's the next tight end is just gonna come

213
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: up and and be amazingly Jimmy Graham, but he just

214
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 1: doesn't have that skill set. And really, you look at

215
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: all the targets that are gonna be missing from that team,

216
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: and Kenny Stills in addition to Jimmy Graham have left

217
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: the ball club. I look at C. J. Spiller is

218
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: being somebody who's gonna pick up a lot of those opportunities.

219
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks should have a huge, uh have a huge

220
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: impact this and somebody like Josh Hill. He'll be fine.

221
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: There'll be some games, you know, he was snaking some

222
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year. I expect this production to be about

223
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: just the same somebody who you cannot really trust weekend

224
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: in week out. When he scores, it'll be great because

225
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: we have some fodder for that helps no one. They

226
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: don't go out. I would, uh, you know, I just

227
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: would be I would. I would preach patience and caution.

228
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: Um any takeaways for you, Marcus Crant, for Josh Hill

229
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: or anything anyone on the Saints. Well, I still like C. J. Spiller.

230
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: I know he's banged up and he's limited, right surprise,

231
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: I know, but it's one It's it's not it's not

232
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: like he's getting reconstructive surgery. It's gonna be They're gonna

233
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: clean some stuff up. He'll be out for a few weeks.

234
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: He'll be back. I'm not worried about him. Josh Hill.

235
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: You know, I know that before training camp started, everybody

236
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: talked about how Josh Hill might just slide in and

237
00:11:54,679 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: be this big sleeper target or whatever. But he also

238
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: gotta throw some cold water on it when he basically

239
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: said that, you know what, Josh Hill isn't going to

240
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: step into the Jimmy Grammer news flash, Joshua isn't Jimmy Grammer. Wow.

241
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: Not and so I think you know, if you if

242
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 1: you get Joshua expecting him to be some sort of

243
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,239
Speaker 1: sleeper tight end, I think you're gonna be sorely disappointed

244
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: when he posts like, you know, three hundred and fifty

245
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: yards and a couple of touchdowns. Can I give a

246
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 1: sleeper name out here? How about a guy by the

247
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: name of Brandon Coleman, A very a very um simple

248
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: sounding name, nondescript, but he is maybe Yeah, I guess so,

249
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: Brandon cole Ma. Sure you know who you know who's

250
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: got the best name on that t Shanteves Jones. Yes, okay,

251
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: But Brandon Coleman is a guy I believe at a

252
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: Rutgers Um undrafted guy. But boy, you look at the

253
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: physical characteristics of this guy. Believe he's six six two pounds.

254
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: He ran a four or five six forty pretty good

255
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: for a guy that size. I kind of see him, uh,

256
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: I kind of see him emerging possibly as a solid

257
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: number two wide receiver next to Brandon Cooks. I know,

258
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: I know Alex Gelhar is a little bit skeptical that,

259
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: and I know that you're also a little bit high

260
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: on um Oh my gosh, I'm dropping his name right now.

261
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: Was this, Uh, the second wide receiver Nicks to Brandon

262
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: Cooks right now is going to be Marcus, I'm not

263
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: like that high And I was gonna say, I like

264
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Coleman to somebody's gotta somebody's gotta emerge in this offense,

265
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: um and they can't like the thing? Is I just

266
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: I like Cooks. He's a fantastic player. But I think

267
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's people are like overreacting to the fact

268
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: that they're going to feed wide receiver one level production

269
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: to a guy who is not a prototypical wide receiver one.

270
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: But that's why I like this guy, Brandon Coleman six.

271
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: He's a big six, big body wide receiver. It seems

272
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: to me like he's gonna be able to fit that

273
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: role quite nicely. Anyways, we move on Crockett Gilmore Uh

274
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: starting for Baltimore there to catch of seventeen yards again

275
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: nothing to write home about. And also another guy that

276
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: that we're kind of keeping our eye on here, Lorenzo

277
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: Talia Farrell low t twelve rushes thirty six yards and

278
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:12,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Is he the clear cut RB two for

279
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: for Baltimore? Marcus, I don't know if he's a clear cut.

280
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the guy who has that spot right now,

281
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: but I mean it looks like a touchdown vulture to me.

282
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: That's certainly possible. I mean, there's still a few weeks

283
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: the preseason left to go, and I think you know,

284
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some competition there. I don't know right

285
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: now that either he or Buck Allen, And how much

286
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: you love Buck Allen. I want to love Buck because

287
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: he's an sc guy, but I don't know that either

288
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: one of those guys is going to have any real value.

289
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: I think they're both gonna be waiver wire guys. In

290
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: the event that justin Forcett can't fulfill his duties, maybe

291
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: you get one of those guys, but I don't know

292
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: that I would take a draft pick on them. Speaking

293
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: of great names, Javores, Buck Allen is definitely in the mix.

294
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: I feel that's why you were so hyper on Buck Allen, Like,

295
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: how can you not like something? It sounds like a

296
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: like if you had a Simpsons character a football player.

297
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: This is Buck Allen, right, Although that does sound you

298
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: know now that you say if you if I saw

299
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: Buck Allen on Simpsons, I would think he plays quarterback.

300
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: For some reason, interesting. You know, maybe are you feeling

301
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: me on that I'm really not as a guy, as

302
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: a guy with a two syllable named James Kill, I

303
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: have a lot of name envy. I'm not gonna lie

304
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: to you. I like Lorenzo Tali Farrow. I'm really I'm

305
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: clapping that out, James co instead of playing peat take

306
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: over here, I was just checking on with Franchises. Also

307
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: behind the glass, by the way, he Franchise writes a

308
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: great article every week called Committee Meetings Down, breaking down

309
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: the backfield committees and what we learned each week. And

310
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: he noted in this game, Talia Farrow got seven of

311
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: the nine carries the team had in the red zone.

312
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: So Justin for Set owners could have a potential vulture

313
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: on our hands. So that's just another thing to put

314
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: to keep in mind as you're looking at Talia Farrow

315
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: and Foreset as drafts approach. Yeah, it's interesting too, because

316
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: you know, a big reason we like Justin Forest is

317
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: because Mark Trustman is down there. Now. You figure, especially

318
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: at PPR league's gonna get I mean, oh my gosh,

319
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: she's gonna get a lot of work. But in standard leagues,

320
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, running every position is very touchdown dependent. Um

321
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: so if it's a situation where where Lorenzo Tally Farrell

322
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: is getting a lot of work inside and you figure

323
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: Buck Allen might get some work inside as well. Uh,

324
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: it's a little bit scary for for justin four set owners.

325
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't I get that. I think that only really

326
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: hurts them in having those monster games where you're like, oh, yeah,

327
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: four sett got me nineteen points, got it. But do

328
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: you figure like most weeks, let's say he runs for

329
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: sixty yards as fifty yards receiving from your running backs,

330
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: and it's not like panic button yet because four set

331
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: didn only carry like two or three times. So that's

332
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: nothing to say that if he was there, he wouldn't

333
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: he might have gotten one or two. But they do

334
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: seems that they like Telly Farret the goal. I think

335
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: they I think they know what they have with Yeah,

336
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: so they're like, why why are we gonna? You know?

337
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: All right? I like it. Miami at Chicago, Ryan Tannehill

338
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 1: six and seven, fifty six yards and a touchdown. Boy,

339
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: he looked good. I mean really, I was impressed, um

340
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: by the performance of Ryan Tannehill. Alex, what were your takeaways?

341
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: I was impressed as well, lots of times, like you

342
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: don't want to rate too highly into quarterback playing the

343
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: prettseason because vanilla defenses and things like that, but there

344
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: were some small things and I saw some screen grabs

345
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: holding around on Twitter too and verified what I saw

346
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: with my eyes. He was very accurate, like even in

347
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: tight coverage, placing the ball where he needed to. And

348
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 1: it was just fun to see that offense that has

349
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: so many new weapons just marched right down the field.

350
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: Uh because Lamar Miller had a good run, Jervis Slander

351
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: got targeted, Jordan Cameron didn't have any great Jennings actually

352
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: looks good. That guy's turning into like a Frank Gore's

353
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: an ageless wonder that can come in and uh make

354
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: a little noise, But it'll be even better when Kenny

355
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: Stills gets back to I liked what I saw, though,

356
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: um are you laughing at It's all depended on Kenny.

357
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: It's dependent better it all comes down to, and he

358
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 1: still was a much improved wide receiver and route runner

359
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: last year. I know, I know this is on three

360
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: of the airwaves and you're not visually, but I'm waving

361
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: my hands at a dismissive Bobby Knight kind of like that,

362
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: and I'm rolling my eyes at his handwave. The thing

363
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: about Ryan Tannhill that that you gotta like is that,

364
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: obviously he's still developing as a quarterback. We're talking about

365
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: a guy who played wide receiver in college. For good

366
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: goodness sakes. I want that to catch on the Jimmy

367
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: Graham play it is. I feel like it is. They

368
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: feel like it's on the level. It's it's closing on Antonio. No,

369
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: it's not. No, it's not. I think it's close. Come on,

370
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: it's closer to the right went to Harvard. It's getting

371
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 1: close to that levels. But look, he's still learning the position.

372
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 1: He was a top ten Fantasy quarterback last year. He's

373
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: got some wheels and he's got a lot of weapons.

374
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: And I like his offensive coordinator as well. It seems

375
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: like Bill Laser is really utilizing this guy's skill set.

376
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: So point, you know, I don't know. I know I'm

377
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: taking quarterback early. I get that I've made that known.

378
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: But Ryan Tannehill, if you're looking for a great value

379
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: in the middle part of your draft, I love Ryan

380
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: Tannehill's upside. Yeah, and the running of I know it's

381
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: kind of glossed over it. That's that's understated because he

382
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: was a wide receiver. I've been big on Ryan Tannehill

383
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: for a couple of months now, I like, I like

384
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller, I like Jarvis Landry. But now because everybody

385
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: likes all these guys, like I have a feeling that

386
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be one of those drafts, not even overdrafted,

387
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 1: but it's just like you're gonna love them and you're

388
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna draft them, and then they're gonna be just spectacularly

389
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 1: mediocre all season long, and you'll be like, like, you know,

390
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: it's I'm so afraid of that, but I'm still gonna

391
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: draft all I'm still gonna It's funny because there's so

392
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: many of those quarterbacks and Matt Ryan falls into this

393
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,240
Speaker 1: category where the guys finished numbers five through ten, Like, hey,

394
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: this guy ranked eight the Monks Fantasy You're like, okay,

395
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: and then at the end of the season, you're like,

396
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't remember one game where he carried my team

397
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: to a victory, Like he scored Remember that game, like

398
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,000
Speaker 1: I remember Michael Vick the year that he crushed it.

399
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: He had that Monday night game against the Eagles. Excuse

400
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: me against the Redskins in this right. Yeah he threw

401
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: like yeah, for like eight hundred points in one game.

402
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: Like I remember stuff like that with Andrew Luck and

403
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. You're like, I remember specific games where he

404
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: was carrying me. I feel like it's a little bit

405
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: of a Monday Morning quarterback. Pun intended to sit there

406
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: and be like, well, I can wait. I can wait

407
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: on a quarterback because there's these guys who feel like

408
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: you can say that with every position, Like I get you, like, look,

409
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 1: you you drafted Adrian Peterson, Monty Ball, and Lashawn McCoy

410
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,640
Speaker 1: in the first round last year. All of them were

411
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 1: not not necessarily McCoy, but the other two complete bus

412
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: But you're like, and I felt so you can like,

413
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: if you know what you're doing, you'll find guys in

414
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: every position. And you know, whenever I say take quarterback early.

415
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: That is not advice for beginner drafters for sure. If

416
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: you're just starting, have you've been playing Fantasy one to

417
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 1: three years, don't listen to my advice. I don't agree

418
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: because because look, if you want to do that, the

419
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: most your fireway to avoid els um on a week

420
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 1: to week basis is definitely draft running back early. I

421
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: get that, But if you want to kind of master

422
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 1: your draft, you want to be a little bit of

423
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: an artist drafting your fantasy. Do you take that quarterback

424
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: early and then you try to figure out upside guys later.

425
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm doing. But um, look, I want to

426
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: think it's the same thing with like going Gronk early.

427
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:26,679
Speaker 1: By the way, but you know, I gotta disagree with

428
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: you with the Ryan Tannehill thing because last year, yes,

429
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: Adam right, because last year I do remember he put

430
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: up a thirty point game. Am I wrong on this?

431
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: I think it's when he played Denver. If I'm not mistaken,

432
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: you put up a thirty point game, and we're talking

433
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: about a guy who's very unheralded. He's a I really

434
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: think that he may have a few games. No, no, no, no,

435
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: I think he will be in that class. But I

436
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: think for the but you were talking about quarterback or

437
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 1: Marcus was talking about quarterbacks, that you really really I

438
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: think Matt Stafford is another example of that way over

439
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: you're just kind of like, yeah, oh, I'm fine, just

440
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: drafting Stafford here and I'll be good. But no, it's right.

441
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I want to. I do want

442
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: to talk about Chicago's Eddie Royal, though, mostly because I

443
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: am so dismissive of Eddie Royal, and yet I know

444
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: Alex Galhar's got a decent projection for this guy. Give

445
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: me a stats projection, outs gal Haar on Eddie Royal

446
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: and why you like him, especially given the Kevin White injury. Well,

447
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: I think Kevin White really bumps him up. Last time

448
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: he was with Cutler, he had ninety one catches, likes,

449
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: five touchdowns. That was a rookie when he was Denver. Uh,

450
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: they paid him a bunch of money. He's going to

451
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: fit into the slot and with with Kevin White out now,

452
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: Royal will probably line up on the outside when they

453
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: go too wide. As well. He's shifty, he can work

454
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 1: in that intermediate route. Cutler Actually he's got a canon arm,

455
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: but he throws a lot of passes still close to

456
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And I think Eddie Royal could

457
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: could push a thousand yards this year and maybe pick up,

458
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, anywhere from five to seven scores. So I'm

459
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna go with the I'm gonna go with the Schaumberg

460
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: finest here, Adam rank Uh. Look, they've got a new

461
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: coaching staff there. Mark Trustman is now out, so their

462
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: past crazy offense is is kind of going by the

463
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: wayside now that John Fox steps in. What should we

464
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 1: expect for that Chicago offense? Yeah, if you think about

465
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: any Royal in his first game as a pro, he

466
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: had nine receptions for one hundred and forty six yards

467
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: and one touchdown. And since everything you can just be

468
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: depended on his single sample size, check that over an

469
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: entire season. That's what a hundred and fifty four catches for,

470
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: you know, for two thousand yards and sixteen touch So

471
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: I think that's a reasonable expectation because he's done it once.

472
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: But I still, you know what, though, looking at what

473
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: Adam Gates was able to do with the slot position

474
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 1: when he was in Denver with Wes Welker and Emmanuel

475
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: Sanders and Emmanuel Sanders, Jake Cutler has never really had

476
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: a slot receiver in the Chicago Bears offense because he's

477
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: always had these big, tall guys to go after. He

478
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have Brandon Marshall harangue him for targets. I feel

479
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: like Eddie Royal can be one of those guys who

480
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: gets between eighty to one hundred receptions over one thousand yards,

481
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: He'll have eight to nine touchdowns. There'll be some weeks

482
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: where he's absolutely fantastic, some weeks where he's a little disappointment.

483
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: Maybe not quite as polarizing as he was with the

484
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: Chargers last year, a little bit more stable, but not

485
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna He's not gonna be one of those guys who's

486
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: going to be in a very elite guy. But if

487
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: you get him, you know, if you're drafting him late

488
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver three or even you know, very comfortable.

489
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: I've been the guy here who has not been big

490
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: on Eddie Royal just because I have seen him. You know,

491
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: do you not hear the productions I just did. I

492
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: I've watched him gobble up targets to my favorite receiver,

493
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: my favorite fantasy receiver in September, and then when I

494
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: start to jump on board, he just vanishes altogether. So

495
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: I went back and looked at his numbers, because he's

496
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: never had a thousand yards year, but his best year

497
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: arguably was his rookie season. Ninety one catches, nine eighty yards,

498
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: five touchdowns with the diver Broncos. Who is his quarterback?

499
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: That's correct, but he's not what I'm saying that he's

500
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 1: not going to see that made target. He's not going

501
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 1: to see that many catches. Why is he not going

502
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: to see that man target because he's I mean, they

503
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: already have a slot receiver. It's not like they lost

504
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: the slot receiver and he slides in there. He's gonna

505
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: be the guy already. I think Marky's Wilson is the

506
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: guy who jumps in there and starts to see some

507
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: more of those targets on the outside if he can

508
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: stay healthy. Wilson I'm talking about. Okay, he's an interesting option,

509
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: but still when you look at the Bears receiving corps,

510
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: I still go it, it's al Sean forte one. And

511
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: to tell us Bennett still in the mixing Royals in

512
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:37,959
Speaker 1: the mix Wilson is He's far down that list. By

513
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: the way, it just real quick. He's interesting. Let me

514
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: just go around the horn here with what where do

515
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: you take Eddie Royal in in a typical fantasy draft,

516
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: non PPR ten, round ten? Maybe top my head? Uh yeah,

517
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: I was gonna say nine, ten, Ten's probably legit that

518
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: that's in your wide receiver three range. And also the

519
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: last two years with him only getting Like I think

520
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: he said last Podcast six, of the snaps, he was

521
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 1: the thirtieth highest wide receiver in and the thirty fifth

522
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: highest wide receiver in. So seeing the increased snaps increased targets,

523
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: I think the writings on the wall for him to

524
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 1: improve that production and become a legit wide receiver. Three. Yeah,

525
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna pass. I'm not. I'm at round ten. I'm

526
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: just gonna pass. You know why, Because No, it's not

527
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: so much that who am I looking at versus? Well here,

528
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: this is what it is. When I gets to round ten,

529
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 1: all I'm thinking about our sleeper guys. And I know

530
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: what Eddie Royal is gonna get me. He's not gonna

531
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: give me a thousand yards. He's not gonna get here.

532
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: He's not gonna he's not gonna give me a thousand yard.

533
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: He's not gonna give me seven or eight touchdowns. He's

534
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: just not that guy. He's just not that guy. Um

535
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: And to me, I'll just pass. I'll look for upside

536
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: guys at the running back position because I'm crazy and

537
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: I'm taking quarterback way way too early. Kevin White, I

538
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: know he's got that shin surgery coming. Up, or maybe

539
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 1: it's already happened. I'm not exactly sure, but he's gonna

540
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: be gone for a while. The coaching staff even indicated

541
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: that he may be gone for the entire season. By

542
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: the way, can I just mentioned it seems like to me,

543
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: shouldn't shouldn't this be happening to Oakland. Shouldn't Oakland have

544
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: picked up Kevin White? And then and then he's got

545
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: this ship shin surgery is out for for the It

546
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: seems so weird that Amari Cooper is really turned out

547
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: to be this awesome looks like this awesome player in

548
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: the preseason right now. And then Kevin White, he's got that.

549
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: I really expected Oakland, um for this, for an injury

550
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,199
Speaker 1: like this to happen. Are you saying the Bears are

551
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: the new Raiders? Are they? How dare you are they?

552
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: How are they? Though? Um? All right, let's let's talk

553
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: about the New York Jets taking on the Detroit Lions.

554
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory six rushes, twenty five yards. Um, Gail Hard,

555
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: you had a good ride up on Chris Ivory, and

556
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: I know you've taken up for him as well. Another

557
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: player like Eddie Royal. I've been dismissive. Is Chris Ivory?

558
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: Tell me why people should get excited about Chris Ivory? Well,

559
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: he is. I think he's the clear cut starting running

560
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: back on that offense. Now. We saw it in the preseason,

561
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: we saw it last year. He got all the first

562
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: team carries, and rumors are flying out of Flora Park

563
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: that he could be even more involved in the passing

564
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: game now, so where he typically lost value because he

565
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: was of a two down running back, he could see

566
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: more receptions and he could just stay on the field more.

567
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got the guys behind them, or Zach

568
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: Stacy got traded for seventh round pick. Stephen really is

569
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: coming off with tourn a c L and bal power.

570
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: Speaking to people who we know who they are, blow

571
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: power is not going to make a huge difference in

572
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: this offense. So it's Chris Ivory all the way, and

573
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna want to run the ball and they're going

574
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: to be successful doing it with Ivory. He's starting to

575
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: wear on me, like I'm really starting to warm up

576
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 1: to the idea just because of the volume. But again,

577
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: if you're a terrible team and you're not getting a

578
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities to run because your team's behind so

579
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: much that really hurts his value. Alright, a mirab Duela,

580
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: I know, Oh my goodness, the hype train has left

581
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: the station. Um, we just saw a mirab Dula going

582
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: are we? We have a League of Leagues fantasy draft

583
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: where we have to do a supplemental draft, and we

584
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: it's an auction style draft. What what did a mere

585
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: go for? He went for like a million dollars? I

586
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: bought him for damna check. He went for sixty four dollars.

587
00:28:55,240 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: Sixty four because Todd Gurley also went for sixty four dollars.

588
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: And let me let me tell you about the League

589
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 1: of Leagues. It's a three sport, uh, fantasy league where

590
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: where you gotta play all three and whoever has the

591
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 1: most points after two seasons of all three sports we're

592
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: talking in baseball, basketball, football wins the entire league. All right, Uh,

593
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: every off season we do a supplemental draft. You have

594
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: a hundred dollars for two years, hundred dollars. A mirror

595
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: Abdulah went for sixty seven, Todd Gurley went for sixty four.

596
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley went first, and Melvin Gordon went for How

597
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: does that even work? See you don't have money to

598
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: bid on free agents during the season. No, No, during

599
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: the regular season. Yeah, but but but the off this

600
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,960
Speaker 1: is for off season supplement whatever. Anyway, the bottom line

601
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: is inside and the guys who work this league, league

602
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: of leagues. I mean, these guys are truly uh insiders

603
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: when it comes to fantasy. I mean we're talking about

604
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: the cream of the crop, uh in terms of fantasy

605
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: guys here. Uh. And they really valued a Merabdullah extremely high. Uh.

606
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: Joike Bell is just he's just fallen to the wayside.

607
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: Forget about Joy Bell. A Merabdulah Uh. Six runs or

608
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 1: seven runs around sixty seven yards and he looked amazing.

609
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: He looked great. I was gonna say, there's two reasons

610
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: why I did so much. Sorry to cut you off, Mark,

611
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: because I was Shack had me tap in and and

612
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: bid for him on this team, and I pushed it

613
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: up that high. It was because one check had terrible

614
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: running he has he had Levian Bell the first couple

615
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: of weeks. No great, I'm saying he listen, he had

616
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: Levian Bell, Dree Archer, and Bishop Sanky. None of them

617
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: are going week one, That's right, David Cobb. Anyway, so

618
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: he really needed running back and with when Gurley and

619
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: uh Melan Gordon went that high, I had to buy

620
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 1: in and Abdulah because he did look amazing And now

621
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: the Cats out of the bag. I don't think like

622
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: I like Joke Bell. He has been a great player

623
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: for them for a long time. I think they're gonna

624
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: be hard pressed to start handing the ball off to

625
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: Joyke Bell when they have pretty as dynamic as I

626
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,479
Speaker 1: mere Abdula waiting in the backfield, Um, what round are

627
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: you taking him? Because you know, I think when the

628
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,239
Speaker 1: before the preseason, before we actually got to see him go,

629
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: I was seeing him constantly or consistently. Rather going in

630
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: the ninth or later, I think, oh where heavy days

631
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: of a week ago? Where's he going now? In your mind,

632
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: alex Well, I think if you want him now, you're

633
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: going to have to reach as high as potentially the

634
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 1: fourth round round. I would agree with that. Like in

635
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 1: the Celebrity League that Fab's host, I was there helping

636
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: him out and Michelle Beatle at someone of my urging

637
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: you want to make a surprise pick took him in

638
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: the sixth round and the room explode. Scott Porter wanted

639
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: to get up a fight. Gil. Yeah, I think I

640
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,239
Speaker 1: think my chances of being friends with Scott Porter went

641
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: out the windows. Wanted to draft him. Yes he was,

642
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: He's j d A. He was gonna take his Denver

643
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 1: Broncos wide receiver gloves and beat you about the head

644
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: and neck with all Right, let's just say you're you're

645
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 1: you're in a league, an expert's league, a mirrab duel. Again,

646
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: some of these rookies and unknown guys they're gonna go

647
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: later in you know, general public leagues. I get that,

648
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 1: But let's say you're in a very competitive league, Marcus Grant.

649
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: Let's say fourth rounds coming around near the end of

650
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: the Let's say you're near the back half of the

651
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: fourth round, there um a mirrab Dula in that spot

652
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: late forth. I mean, it sounds crazy to be taking

653
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: him that high. But I don't know, now that's what

654
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't know. But this is the guy

655
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: who had two weeks ago on the same podcast, right

656
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 1: Jo Bell. But now I look around and I you know,

657
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I watched the tape and I'm like,

658
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: how do I not how do you not take a

659
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: Mirrobdula's sitting there for you in the fourth round like

660
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 1: a four yard run where he just made some guy

661
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: with in between the tackles. What the thing is that

662
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: you heard some comparison, some slight comparisons to Barry Sanders

663
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: and and and just in terms of his ability to

664
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 1: make people miss and his ability to just stop and

665
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: cut on a dime. Yeah, there's a lot of similarities there. Um.

666
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 1: And you think about that offense too, I mean, what

667
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: are you gonna do. You're really gonna stack the box

668
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: against uh, Calvin Johnson and Golden tateld No, You're not

669
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: gonna do that. So a mirab Duel is gonna be

670
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: looking at you know, you know, six seven man boxes

671
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: man with round I think I think I pulled the

672
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 1: trigger in the fourth round. Yeah. I feel comfortable about

673
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: with it as well. And I will say, are our

674
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: great colleagues that around the NFL. Uh and A right

675
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: up about after they watched the merab Dula talked about

676
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: how this offense that it could be like the missing

677
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: piece to really help that offense because it's always been

678
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: so much talent like get to the next level. Uh.

679
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: I don't wanna get too crazy, but a merab Duel

680
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: is just making me feel a little bit better about

681
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: some other people on that supporting cast, like Golden Tate

682
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: and Stafford and everything, Like Jim called Well as a

683
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: head coach has been very conservative with his offensive play

684
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: calling as well, so I could actually see them utilizing

685
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: the running back a lot more. Uh. It's a big

686
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: reason why I wasn't high on Stafford last year. And

687
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,640
Speaker 1: and Calvin Johnson. I know Calvin Johnson got you know,

688
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: dinged up, but Jim call was so conservative with his

689
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: play calling too, so you could kind of see them

690
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: feeding the running back position a heck of a lot more.

691
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: I see Adam Rank shaking his head. No, I agree.

692
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: I I agree with all that. And if you're one

693
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: of those people who is a zero RB guy who's

694
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: not gonna go running back in the first two rounds,

695
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: all the mocks that I'm doing, I just ear Markham

696
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: for the fourth round like it's not even it's not

697
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:25,240
Speaker 1: even a consideration for me so much. And it's really

698
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 1: one of those things, the only ones I'm trying to

699
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: keep the pieces of the puzzle moving. I can't take

700
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: him as my RB one, right, So if I'm doing

701
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: of Gronkowski in the first round, trying to load up

702
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: my other two receivers. I'm I'm favoring somebody like Frank Gore,

703
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: but I think by the time the inner training camp comes,

704
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: I'll easily talk myself into making a mere abdula my

705
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: number one room. I have no problem with it. I

706
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: just I'm looking into the future like you as well.

707
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 1: I feel the same way, Like because I'm thinking about

708
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: doing zero R B in a coming upcoming draft, and

709
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, man do I want to take him as

710
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: my RB one? I'm like, why why not? Why not?

711
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 1: You know? And it's so fun to just go against convention,

712
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: you know, because last year people got a little squirrely

713
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 1: on Monty Ball and everything, and all they were doing

714
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: with Monty Ball is they were looking at a situation.

715
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: We're looking at a city, like, look, paid Manning's running back,

716
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: so he's good. And you're like, well, if you watch that,

717
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: and we talked about this at great length, James is like, Okay, well,

718
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do that, why not take the running

719
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 1: back who's better. C. J. Anderson was clearly better in

720
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: the preseason. And this is a situation this year. It's

721
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: not like people are hyper because it's like you gotta

722
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: get the Lions running back. You know it's because you're

723
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: watching him, and then the people who don't watch college

724
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:37,439
Speaker 1: football are going back and watching some of the tape

725
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: from him at Lincoln and saying, Wow, this guy is

726
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: pretty amazing. So I it's funny, like I want to

727
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,319
Speaker 1: put this in a time capsule, which I guess what

728
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 1: podcasts are, and it it three weeks from now, we'll

729
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: be talking about like remember when you could have gotten

730
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: the near Abdullah in the fourth round, Like those those

731
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: were crazy days. All right, Um, let's talk about Washington

732
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: and taking on Cleveland here. Nope, not much to write

733
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: home that there's no healthy tight ends in Washington. Jordan

734
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 1: Read moves up a little bit because there's just no

735
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: there's just no, um no competition. Logan Paulson on the

736
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 1: I R. Niles Paul name name is Logan Pulse. Well,

737
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna say Jordan Reed like he's basically going

738
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 1: undrafted right now, partly because now Paul was getting pushed

739
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: up and stuff. But Jordan Reed is in athletic were

740
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: always always hurt. He's hurt right now. But if you're

741
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: waiting on a tight end or taking one in the

742
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: fifteenth round. I don't mind grab Jordan read why the

743
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: heck not? Or you could take boys to man Chris

744
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: Cooley high harmony as well, who's also flirting with coming

745
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: out of retirement for some reason? Are you really going

746
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: to take a tight end who's been retired for but

747
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 1: but are you drafting herschel Walker Marcus, You're missing the

748
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: point here. I had a good joke, that's it. I did.

749
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, Um Dallas taking on San Diego. Oh, actually,

750
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: let let me go back to Cleveland here, Um the backfield,

751
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: let's talk about Isaiah Crowe. Well, Terrence, I know we've

752
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: talked about is at length. I don't know why. Look,

753
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: Cleveland's got a great offensive line. I don't know how

754
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: great they are at run blocking, but at least I

755
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 1: know that talent is there on the offensive line for

756
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 1: some reason. And and Adam your bring up a great point.

757
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: Who's the most talented guy in the backfield? I'm not

758
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: acent sure it's the Crow Duke Johnson. Look, I know

759
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: we haven't seen Duke Johnson yet, but for some reason,

760
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: I just get a feeling that Duke Johnson in the

761
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: back half of this year is gonna emerge out of

762
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:34,720
Speaker 1: that offensive line and actually be a difference maker and maybe, maybe,

763
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe maybe uh take over a full time starting gig

764
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 1: for the Cleveland Browns. Uh. I don't know how crazy

765
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,919
Speaker 1: that is. I'm not really basing that on on too

766
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: too much other than I've seen him run and uh

767
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: in college albeit, but I've also seen Isaiah crow Ll run,

768
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,439
Speaker 1: and I've also seen Terence West run. I kind of think, UH,

769
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson's got a chance to really emerge and be

770
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: that starting running back back. There is a chance. There

771
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: is quite a bit of a chance. Um, all right,

772
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 1: let's move on. Let's talk about Dallas in San Diego.

773
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: You talk about uh drafting for a situation. I mean,

774
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: everyone's trying to make sense of this Dallas running game.

775
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: Where do you go right now? Rank I, you gotta

776
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: wait and see, you know, because we got all excited

777
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: about Gus Johnson and he lasted about what three plays? Like, yeah,

778
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,799
Speaker 1: I got I was well, First of all, I was

779
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: upset because they showed that game Chargers and the Cowboys

780
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: locally on the CBS station and at eight o'clock You're like, Okay,

781
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: this is fine and dandy. Let's let's bring out the

782
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: Big Brother because it's it's double Eviction night. It was

783
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: double Eviction night, and I had to wait till eleven

784
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 1: thirty because you're showing us the second half. Want people

785
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 1: are watching Big Brother? Still really watching? Where people watching

786
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter? Them? Probably not. I will say this,

787
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: Melvin gorgon San Diego, it didn't look great. Um, and

788
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 1: I know I know what people are gonna say, Adam Rank,

789
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,239
Speaker 1: go ahead, he's got his hand raised in the air.

790
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 1: Wisconsin running backs. I don't rank in Marcus Granches high

791
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,879
Speaker 1: fire to each other. Look, Wisconsin running backs. I mean

792
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: really though, well really I watched it. Don't look good.

793
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: It's not even so much that that worries me about

794
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:30,799
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, even though you are correct he did not

795
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: look great. What worries me about Melvin Gordon the combination

796
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: of that offensive line in San Diego, which is something

797
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: I know Adam Rank has mentioned before. And that little

798
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,400
Speaker 1: guy Danny Woodhead who's still hanging around, especially in the

799
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: red zone and at the goal line to steal some

800
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: that was some targets. The worst part Danny Wood had

801
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: actually got the goal line kerry and scored. We're not

802
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: goal line. He scored from like seven yards out. But

803
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: Gordon is still is still very talented. I think he's

804
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 1: better than some of the recent rona Wisconsin running back

805
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: we've seen. But if you're his draft price is really

806
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: high right now for a guy at from everything that

807
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: we're seeing and we heard he struggled with past protection

808
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: at Wisconsin, he has not done well with it in camp.

809
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: I just saw another article today saying he had a

810
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: really bad day in past protection. Danny Woodhead is a

811
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: champ in past protection. He is going to get all

812
00:40:11,640 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 1: of the third down work. So based on five four

813
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 1: running back really be a champion, would say he's five eight.

814
00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: It's not in the fight d He's he's like, but

815
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: did you see what he did to Merriman? He was good.

816
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: So anyway, the point is just keep in mind when

817
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: you're drafting Melvin Gordon, you're basically getting a two down

818
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: running back, which is going we shouldn't put a seat.

819
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna put a lower ceiling on his fantasy potential

820
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:36,799
Speaker 1: than a lot of people would like to think. After

821
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 1: watching him run rampant over the Big ten power House conference. Well,

822
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: we'll hold on a second now, because I mean Melvin

823
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: Gordon in the Big Ten. The Big Tent had maybe

824
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:51,840
Speaker 1: quite possibly the greatest core of running backs, um in

825
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: college football history. I mean really, I mean you look

826
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: at some of these guys that are coming out of here.

827
00:40:57,160 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, a mirror Abdulah, Tevin Coleman. Uh. We haven't

828
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: even talked about Ezekiel. Uh. I'm dropping his Elliott Ohio

829
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: right exactly, David com I mean, come on, this is

830
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,720
Speaker 1: the best, uh core of running backs maybe in college

831
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: football history coming out of one conference. So it'll be

832
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 1: two years think of all the sophomore running backs, right,

833
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: unbeliev um So so Melvin Gordon to me, I mean

834
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 1: when you watch him at Wisconsin, Man, he had a

835
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:28,600
Speaker 1: lot of moves. He had great bursts, he had good vision,

836
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: he had good speed. And the thing I loked about

837
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: him too, was that he could. I wouldn't say he

838
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: was a pro at catching the ball out of the back.

839
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: He's good at it, but he was good at it though.

840
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: Is all those things. He was very indecisive in this game,

841
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: and it's just he didn't look good. He looked he

842
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: started stepped a lot before he got to the line

843
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Whereas when Gordon was at his best when

844
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: he was able to read that line in Wisconsin and

845
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: made one one cut and show you know what goes

846
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 1: in his favor though, and this could work out for

847
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 1: somebody if let's say somebody does reach for Melvin Gordon

848
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: gets burned because he's not very productive at the beginning

849
00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: of the year. Last year, Danny Woodhead had some injury problems,

850
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: I would say, so Brandon Olivier had his moments where

851
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: he was like, really, that's not over um. He he

852
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: looked good for a couple of weeks, but then eventually,

853
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,319
Speaker 1: you know, it catches up to you after a while.

854
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon could be one of these guys who starts

855
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: slowly and then somebody in your league forget it, I'm

856
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 1: dumping him. I would actually be the guy who picks him.

857
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 1: I I don't want to be the guy who drafts

858
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: him in the fifth round, but I would happily be

859
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: the guy who picks him up on the waiver wire

860
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,840
Speaker 1: in Week four. Draft stock has to be dropping or

861
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: trade for him. He's a kind of guy like, here's

862
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: here's a question, who do you draft first, Melvin Gordon

863
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: or a Mira Abdullah. That's how it's going. Look what

864
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna say, how it's going. Gordon could be a

865
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: great buy low candidate in the season. I did that

866
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:48,960
Speaker 1: to somebody in one of our leagues who was souring

867
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: on Eddie Lacy early last season. Yeah, I flipped. I

868
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 1: flipped him some players for Eddie Lacey, and I wrote

869
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy almost all the way and all legitimacy was

870
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: that me. No, it was not you. It was in

871
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: our dynasty that very I'm like, no, it sounds like me.

872
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about another big ten running back

873
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 1: in David Cobb Tennessee versus Atlanta. Actually, we'll talk about

874
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: two big ten running backs. Why not David Cobb for

875
00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: Tennessee Tevin Coleman for Atlanta. Um. Actually, I didn't get

876
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: a chance to actually see this preseason game. Despite my

877
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: man crush on on Tevin Coleman, he didn't play. He

878
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 1: was still nursed in as handy. All so there you go.

879
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: So David Cobb, what do we make of his his

880
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: performance there? Well, I was I'll just jump on it

881
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 1: because everybody knows I'm like piloting the David Cobb bandwagon.

882
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: That's ship. But um so here's the thing. He came

883
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,960
Speaker 1: in against the third string, third second or third stringers,

884
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: but he was the only one to like have real production.

885
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 1: He's not the flashiest guy, He's not like a next

886
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: level talent like Adrian Peterson, but he is a darn

887
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: goood running back. He can read the whole, he can

888
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: hit it, and he finishes his runs. I mean, not

889
00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 1: only does Bishops think he walk in a line of scrimmage,

890
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: he gets walked backwards after somebody tackles him. David Cobb

891
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: hits guys, gets extra yards after contact, and he performed

892
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,799
Speaker 1: so well that even Ken Wizzen Hunt. Then, remember we

893
00:43:57,800 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: were hearing that they were going to do a running

894
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: back by committee. Wasn't Hunt. The day after that game,

895
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: I was sitting on Saturday watching game film at home,

896
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: and I see an article pop up that Ken Wizzon said.

897
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: Hunt said, we're not married to the committee anymore. The

898
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: type of production you saw to David cobbs what you'd

899
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: hope a running game could do. And COB's gonna get

900
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: more wrong with the starters. So I was sitting at

901
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 1: my desk like just fist pumping the air that this

902
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: is finally coming to fruition. It happened. I read the

903
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,439
Speaker 1: article like an hour after I tweeted that I hope

904
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: Tennessee se potential to all right, I think Cobb is

905
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: on the rise, and I still love him. So he's

906
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 1: on the rise, Where does he go in fantasy drafts?

907
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: He falls? I mean often times I'm sitting there and

908
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: I've you know, I'm when you're doing these mock drafts,

909
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:39,479
Speaker 1: you don't have the entire draft que set up. Then

910
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my gosh, like I gotta I gotta

911
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: remember that he's there. So I'm trying to pick him

912
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:45,720
Speaker 1: earlier and earlier. Again, like you were talking about talking

913
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: taking people in the ninth in the tenth round, like

914
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,799
Speaker 1: after I had my starters, then I don't care. Like

915
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: if David Cobbs there in the seventh and all my

916
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: starters are locked in, I don't care, Like it doesn't

917
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 1: matter to me. Like at the end of the year

918
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,279
Speaker 1: last year, were you proud of yourself because you've got

919
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: c j. Anders in the seventh instead of the Who cares?

920
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: It's just that you want them on your team. And

921
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 1: you know what, all it takes is one smart or

922
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: smart behind to just come out and be I don't

923
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: know there's a shadowy league. Figure, Okay, got it, just go.

924
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: This takes one person to say, you know what, oh yeah,

925
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: I remember this guy talking about it, especially like if

926
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: they're drafting near you. Yeah yeah, and you're like, oh,

927
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: because like in our in our experts league, let me

928
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: use air quotes. Say we're gonna point out that use

929
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: air quotes, use their damna in the league. There it

930
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: is then that blows the whole thing. We have it.

931
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: We have a team America that's just not by the way,

932
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: I think that may not be this the case who's

933
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: going to be drafting, and that it would be WI

934
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: the Whiz. All right, so are you gonna have to

935
00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 1: draft last then allegedly which whatever I'll take, that is

936
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: the worst I'll take. It is the worst. You know,

937
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 1: it's it's it's m j D's fault that he's doing that. Okay,

938
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: So actually, but that works out better. Okay, So the

939
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: Wiz will be in this draft. Let's say he's drafting tenth.

940
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 1: I would be drafting I think sixth or something somewhere

941
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: in that range. But it's cool because you know, like

942
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: now that we talk so much, like I know that

943
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: he likes a guy that. I'm like, like, Okay, I

944
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: I could try to wait, I could try to play chicken.

945
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: He's gonna have after I make a pick in like

946
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 1: the seventh or eighth round. You're like, he's gonna have

947
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: two more selections before my pick comes back, and it

948
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: might be a reach and people might hoot and holler

949
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 1: do whatever they gotta do. You know what, I'm gonna

950
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: draft him. And that's the one thing that drives because

951
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: like people don't make picks because they're afraid of people.

952
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,839
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I can't believe what you're doing. Like it,

953
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: it happens, It does happen, all right, But don't let

954
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 1: that deter you. Okay. So look, I know you're saying

955
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: you're excited about the dude. What are we What are

956
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: we talking about? I'm trying to find a draft round

957
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,800
Speaker 1: value for the guy the Cob seventh round. No, okay,

958
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, wrong answer, Marcus Grant, whatschers? Look? First off,

959
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: if anybody ever heard the phrase downhill runner and didn't

960
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: quite know what it meant, watch David cop He really

961
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: is a downhill runner. Um. Look, I mean he may

962
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 1: get a lot of touches and he may eventually you know,

963
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: become the bell cow there. But he still plays on

964
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 1: a bad team that's probably to lose a lot of games.

965
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: It's likely to be trailing a lot. So I mean,

966
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: he's a guy that I'm still looking at, No, no

967
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: better than a fourth running back. So i'd say, what

968
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: round nine again for him? Something like that, give me,

969
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: give it to me. You're there's nobody higher on David

970
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: Cobb than you. You like him in around nine. Well,

971
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: when when push comes to shove, i'll probably I'll probably

972
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: reach for him. I haven't in several drafts already, but

973
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: like to ranks point, it's a case of make sure

974
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,400
Speaker 1: if you have a guy you like, just get your guy.

975
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: Don't worry about the reaction. Get your guy, because if

976
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,399
Speaker 1: you believe in them, you want them on your team.

977
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,279
Speaker 1: And nothing sucks more than watching a guy you thought

978
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: was going to be a breakout a breakup on somebody

979
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: else's same. Yeah, let me this is a real talk this.

980
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I gotta I gotta draft bock draft up

981
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: right now. It's in the eighth round. Okay, I picked

982
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 1: eight play somewhere. Here's the running backs you'll be choosing between.

983
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 1: All right, David Cobbs available. You could La Garrett Blunt, Ivory,

984
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,240
Speaker 1: Doug Martin, Tevin Coleman, The Crow, Verene, DeVonta Freeman, Aaron Foster,

985
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 1: Bishop Shank Sanky, Ryan Matthews, Tray Mason, Duke Johnson, David Like,

986
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: who do you? You're like, no, no, no no, you have

987
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: to take this guy ahead of David, Chris Ivory. You

988
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 1: take Ivory, Tay, I'll take I'll take up. Yeah and

989
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: shake agree right now. I want to know I won't draft, listen,

990
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 1: I won't draft. I want to know what did did

991
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory get you a nice Christmas basket or some

992
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: I mean, what did he like? Am just beat? Like?

993
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: Why do you hate a guy that was the top

994
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: twenty five running back last year? He's Chris Ivory. Look

995
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: at the I mean, I'm so I'm so confused. I'm

996
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: so confused. You're a smart You're a smart gentleman. How

997
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: are you so high? It's smart. At the end of

998
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: the year, it is a number, but it is a

999
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: number one running back, and I fear it because I

1000
00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: just don't think it. Uh, that situation is gonna be

1001
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 1: because they're gonna behind a lot. But still it's a

1002
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,239
Speaker 1: it's a number one running I think, James, you are

1003
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: worried because Chris Ivory has the stink of the Jets

1004
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: on him. Probably he was the top twenty running back

1005
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: last year. Alright, alright, alright, so just so the fantasy people,

1006
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 1: I am not high on Chris Ivory. I will not

1007
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: be drafting him. Uh, I'll take him. Alright, good. Uh,

1008
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: let's move on. Let's talk about Carolina at Buffalo Devin

1009
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: Funcius very quickly. Any takeaways from Devin Functious is performance.

1010
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 1: He's still a project. Yes, get a nice catch on

1011
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: the sideline though, but we gotta see more. Alright, New

1012
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,880
Speaker 1: York Giants versus Cincinnati as a lot to get excited about.

1013
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 1: For Cincinnati, Um, we don't ever talk about a lot

1014
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: of tight ends. But I do want to talk about

1015
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: Tyler Eifer Please for just a second here, he is

1016
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: starting to look pretty good. I would say, uh, we

1017
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:55,880
Speaker 1: know that he's got the talent um, but will the

1018
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: opportunities be there? Uh? Marcus, can I get a stat

1019
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: projection in a round projection regarding h Tyler Eifford? I

1020
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 1: think round wise you're looking at effort probably double digits. Um,

1021
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: I guess I feel like maybe because I got caught

1022
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,799
Speaker 1: up in what happened over the weekend, I'm watching him.

1023
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:18,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I was gonna say, like round eight, whoa,

1024
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: maybe that maybe that's a reach. I don't know. But

1025
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 1: he looked, he looked good. That Bengals offense looked good. Um.

1026
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: I would say, stap wise, you're probably looking at you know,

1027
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: somewhere between six and seven hundred yards, four or five

1028
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns something like that. But it doesn't sound like a

1029
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: lot when you consider the state of tight end, right,

1030
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: it's not bad. And and the other thing I like

1031
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: about him too is the fact that I don't know

1032
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 1: if he's gonna give you a lot of zeros on

1033
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: a week to week basis, which is kind of what

1034
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: we're expecting from a lot of tight ends, um and not.

1035
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,200
Speaker 1: And because the tight end situation in fantasy this year

1036
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: is so up and down, um to put it nicely, uh,

1037
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: A guy who's kind of given you anywhere between you know,

1038
00:50:56,840 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: four to twelve points a week and is consistent plea

1039
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: giving you that. I'll take it four points. And what

1040
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: would you do if you if somebody could come up

1041
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,400
Speaker 1: to you right now and say we will give you

1042
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 1: a tight end who will give you four points every

1043
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 1: week guaranteed in exchange for I tell you stomach punt,

1044
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: but you take Listen, I said between four and twelve.

1045
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: It's it's better than a lot of zeros that Let's

1046
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,680
Speaker 1: say you get that, you get the automatic four every week.

1047
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 1: M J. D gets to punch you in the stall.

1048
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: By the way, O, hey, what if it was Dan Helly.

1049
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what if you had, if you had

1050
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: anybody to punch him in the stomach. I don't I

1051
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: don't know why we're talking about stomach punches. By the way,

1052
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: if you had Vernon Davis, you take that in the

1053
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:46,919
Speaker 1: heartbeat though last year Vernon Davis, last have you got

1054
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: points a week? I would take that all week, that

1055
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 1: big week one against the Cowboys, and that was That

1056
00:51:51,160 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 1: was the last thing he did. Literally, I think he

1057
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 1: had four points the rest of the season. But there

1058
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 1: was a lot of guys like that. It was like

1059
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: Einstein Bagels, Okay, I like, uh, Like the thing he's

1060
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,360
Speaker 1: gonna that offense is uh. He was targeted three times

1061
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: in his one quarter of work in team before he

1062
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: went down with an injury. It seemed like Hugh Jackson

1063
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: wanted to use him a lot. I think that's going

1064
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,520
Speaker 1: to be the case again this year. He's going to

1065
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: thrive in the intermediate area of the field. And with

1066
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: like we said, the crapshoot running back or at tight end.

1067
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: I'm with Marcus. I'm going to take him a lot

1068
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,839
Speaker 1: higher than people expect. Uh. If you so you said

1069
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: four to twelve points, you put it in the middle

1070
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: eight points eight points a week, say on average, he

1071
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 1: gets you. He would have been the seven highest scoring

1072
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: tight end. But that's what I'm saying. I mean, look

1073
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 1: like I said, but you what, I don't need any

1074
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: more stomach cons We got more games to get to

1075
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: and we're running out of time. We're moving to slas. No,

1076
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,320
Speaker 1: we are not moving to slaps. We're moving to Pittsburgh

1077
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: taking on Jacksonville. We're going to where dude slightly delayed.

1078
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in you. Um let's talk about the running

1079
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 1: back situation there. Um, I forced you to spend a

1080
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 1: good amount of money. You didn't know you did in

1081
00:52:55,120 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: our supplemental draft. I did. Will Leach was in that bidding.

1082
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 1: Uh he was, and then he stopped, and then I

1083
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: will Leach spend. Then you kept going you're not correct

1084
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: bide bucks and I said, I'm gonna go fifty. That's

1085
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 1: not what happened, though, That's exactly what must you spend

1086
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:22,840
Speaker 1: on je because will Leach bid okay? Well either way,

1087
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 1: you know, at first, I was like I was a

1088
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 1: touch morose, But when all those other running backs were

1089
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: going for sixty four bucks, I'm like, oh, I think

1090
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: I got a little bit of a bargain. Um, I

1091
00:53:32,080 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: have a guy who's got Okay, he's gonna be bad.

1092
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna, I feel, will be better than Melvin Gordon. Uh,

1093
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: he might not be up to a mir Abdulla's standards.

1094
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: And that was the only thing. It's like, because I

1095
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 1: didn't understand the way that this thing was packing down

1096
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 1: like there want a lot of great instructions. It was

1097
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: and it was like in there and the only other

1098
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: marquee running back below him was a mere Abdullah And

1099
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, well, if you miss out on

1100
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 1: t J yelled in, and you miss out on a

1101
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: Meer Abdulah that I'm starting Arian Foster in week one.

1102
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: I did not want. So I'm like, I'm gonna have

1103
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 1: to spend some money, dude, give me Freddie blue. I'll

1104
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: give you anybody off by baseball team. Um. Alright, so

1105
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: here's my question here. Uh, I'm not exactly is t

1106
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,359
Speaker 1: J yelled in a clear cut starting guy? I mean,

1107
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: Shoelace was okay, you know Toby, Toby Hard was was

1108
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: lurking somewhere. Is this, don't shake your head. Toby looked

1109
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: that game a game we had a full season. He

1110
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:38,120
Speaker 1: looked good last year before the trended town we he

1111
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: was okay. There's a reason why they spent a second

1112
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: round draft. Alright, alright, right rank, where are you taking

1113
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: t J yeld in? What round? Um? Well, you know

1114
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 1: what in that fifth that fourth, the fifth round range,

1115
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: that's where you have your your choice between Todd Gurley,

1116
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: Amer Abdulah and t J Yelden. What do you think

1117
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: yards and seven touchdowns? That a little bit more. That's

1118
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:02,759
Speaker 1: under selling him a little bit. But you know what,

1119
00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: I like the other guys. I like Todd. I I

1120
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: feel that Todd Gurley's points per game at the end

1121
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: of the season is going to be the thing that

1122
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: makes him so the number one running back that you're

1123
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna want to have on your team. All right, So, Gilhard,

1124
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: what do you take t J Yelden. Uh, I'd take

1125
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: him in the David cobrange. To be honest, I'm scared

1126
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: of that being a real committee there with like Shoelace

1127
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: getting a lot of work on passing downs. Markus and

1128
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:28,800
Speaker 1: I weren't like in love with Yeldon coming out of college.

1129
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: And I think he's a little stiff. He is very upright.

1130
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 1: Uh so I think he might be coming. He might

1131
00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: also be like a two down back, and I don't,

1132
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I I just have reservations. I'd rather

1133
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,880
Speaker 1: let him be Adam Ranks problem than draft him. I

1134
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,760
Speaker 1: would agree with that all right. Denver at Seattle, Ronnie

1135
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,280
Speaker 1: him and multi ball. Anybody gonna push c J Anderson

1136
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: for that? And the reason we asked this question because look,

1137
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: I know CJ. Anderson looked amazing last year to close

1138
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: out the season um and and plus hashtag cal running back,

1139
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,920
Speaker 1: But uh, the really, when as long as Peyton has

1140
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 1: been in Denver, the running back situation has been just

1141
00:56:04,400 --> 00:56:08,280
Speaker 1: an absolute disaster. Have they actually found a foundational piece

1142
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 1: in c J. Anderson? That's the question I posted Marcus Grant.

1143
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: I think they have. I think I think he's the

1144
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: guy there. I think, you know, when you see Monterey

1145
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 1: Ball and Ronnie Hillman on the field, I guess to

1146
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: an extent, you know, like somebody like John Thompson or

1147
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: something like that. Um, yeah, I think those guys are

1148
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,360
Speaker 1: competing for that number two spot on the roster. But

1149
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 1: I think I think in terms of c J. Anderson,

1150
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: he's got that thing locked up. He is going to

1151
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: be the guy, and he really can be a three

1152
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: down back for them. I don't think you have to

1153
00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: worry so much about c J. Anderson coming off the field,

1154
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,720
Speaker 1: except for you know, the occasional rest. Um, We're gonna

1155
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 1: move on quickly. Sorry. I know Rank was itching to

1156
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: get in there. He loves some some c J. Anderson,

1157
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:47,319
Speaker 1: but um, sat was at Oakland. I do want to

1158
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,479
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about the wide receivers and tight

1159
00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: end positions here for both of those teams. But um,

1160
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 1: but I do want to hit on Latavius Murray really though, Uh,

1161
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: there's there seems to be a growing gulf between expectations

1162
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 1: here for for Latavius Murray. You're not gonna find anyone

1163
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: higher on Latavius Murray than myself. I will gladly take

1164
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: him at the end of the third round. I know

1165
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 1: it sounds a little bit high, um, but to me,

1166
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: he's just so explosive and in a pretty good offense. Um,

1167
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 1: I'll invest. And and it's just because I'm taking you know,

1168
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver and quarterbacks so early. I need to get

1169
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: a guy who can be a home run hitter for me.

1170
00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: I love Latavius Murray early, but we're starting to see

1171
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: a lot of folks sour on Latavius Murray a little bit. Gailhard,

1172
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:31,840
Speaker 1: can you maybe fill us in on a little bit

1173
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: of that. I think the fear for him too, is

1174
00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: that with them getting ROYALU Jr. It's the case of

1175
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: having a two down running back on a bad team again,

1176
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 1: and that I'm I'm a little less worried for seeing

1177
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: him again. He looked great in the season, showing vision

1178
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: burst and things like that, but man, I don't know

1179
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: in that range, Like I'd rather have a Frank Like

1180
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 1: right now, he's going, uh is it running back twenty three? Uh?

1181
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:57,360
Speaker 1: Right behind Jonathan Stewart, Frank Gore and Carlos Hide. I'm

1182
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 1: a little worried about Hide too. I'd rather have Gore

1183
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 1: or Stewart than those guy or even Abdulah after him.

1184
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:03,960
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a course correction though, because Latavius Murray,

1185
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: like the hype train for him started at the end

1186
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: of last season. We were really pushing, so that boosted

1187
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: him way up. And now I think, you know, it's

1188
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: more of a course correction. That's what people are down

1189
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 1: on him. It's just that he's coming back and settling

1190
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: in closer to where he should be. And I think

1191
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: I think another part of it, too, is that other

1192
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 1: rookie running backs are starting to emerge and taking some

1193
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: of the luster off of a guy like Latavius Murray.

1194
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about a Merabdulah. If you're in

1195
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: the fourth round, now, I mean, this is I think

1196
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a legit question. You're in the

1197
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,800
Speaker 1: fourth round, you're looking at Latavius Murray, or you're looking

1198
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: at a Merabdulah Adam Rink. Where do you go? Not

1199
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: even I mean, everybody's really excited about Laddie Murray, but

1200
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: it was what two runs? It was two runs against

1201
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: the chart or against the Chiefs, and everybody's like, this

1202
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: guy is amazing, and you know what, he had some

1203
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: other games at the end of the season, didn't crack

1204
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: a hundred yards again, barely average more than four yards

1205
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 1: per attempt in one of the final four games. There's

1206
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: a have to be conservative. He said he was a

1207
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 1: a first year guy. Wasn't a true. I don't know.

1208
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 1: It's it seems like a nice story. And I think

1209
00:59:07,600 --> 00:59:11,439
Speaker 1: everybody in in their haste to draft a running back

1210
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 1: or trying to push this guy is something more than

1211
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: he's not. Uh. The reason I think folks are so

1212
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: excited about you talk about those runs against the Chiefs.

1213
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: I get it. But to me, it's not a fluke

1214
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 1: only because you look at the physical attributes of the guy,

1215
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: and you look at him on the field. Man, he

1216
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: runs angry, he runs hard, and he's just got something else.

1217
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: He's got another gear that a lot of running backs

1218
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 1: don't have. Um. When I look at that, you look

1219
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: at I won't give you all the forty times and

1220
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: all that, but look, he can run very very fast. Okay,

1221
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 1: so he's a big back, he's a big body, and

1222
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,880
Speaker 1: he's super fast. I don't know, Man, there's a lot

1223
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: to like physically about the guy, and I'll start there. Um,

1224
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: And that's kind of why I'm so high on him.

1225
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: Like I said, if I'm at the end of my

1226
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: draft and I'm at the end of the third round,

1227
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: I know I gotta wait a million picks before me again,

1228
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: and as you say, hey, hit the guy you like.

1229
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: And if I'm at the end of the third round,

1230
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: I'll just I'll do it. I'll just invest in the

1231
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: guy because you know, I really believe, uh, not only

1232
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: in him, but also in that offense as well, especially

1233
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 1: now that they've got a Marie Cooper. I just can't

1234
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,000
Speaker 1: see them stack in the box. If he's looking under

1235
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 1: a regularly loaded box, I can see him picking up

1236
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: four and a half five six yards of carry and

1237
01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: having home run potential as well. That's going about, you know.

1238
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 1: And going back looking at the numbers against the Bills,

1239
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: three attempts, eighty six yards, three point seven yards perk carry.

1240
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: But that's against the Bill. That's a pretty good defense,

1241
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,920
Speaker 1: very good. That might be that might be more impressive

1242
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: than what he did against the Chiefs. All right, I'll

1243
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: take it. Hang that in your head. I'm I'm still

1244
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:46,000
Speaker 1: not taking him. Tampa Bay at Minnesota. UM again. I

1245
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 1: love talking about Kyle Rudolph. I was not a believer

1246
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: last year. I know North. It's been beaten into my

1247
01:00:51,920 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: head that North Turner's offenses churn out Uh. This might

1248
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: be the Ryan Fitzpatrick went to Harvard storyline is that

1249
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: North Turner's offenses turn out high quality tight end play.

1250
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: We didn't see it last year. I know that Kyle

1251
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Rudolph got hurt, but I'm saying even his replacements, it's

1252
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: not like you saw great tight end production last year. Alex,

1253
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,400
Speaker 1: what's your takeaway here from Kyle Rudolph playing in Minnesota?

1254
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: And I know he's gonna be a very interesting sleeper

1255
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 1: pick um. He's got the big body and he looked

1256
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: pretty good in the preseason his way. We gotta remember

1257
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: that it was just a couple of years ago that

1258
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: he was like a top five tight end. He has

1259
01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:31,440
Speaker 1: all the physical attributy like and I think it's just

1260
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: encouraging to see Teddy Bridgewater in Nor's offense targeting a

1261
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: bunch early. I think, like you said, he's still mostly

1262
01:01:36,760 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 1: just a later round sleeper. But if you don't take

1263
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,880
Speaker 1: grounk early. Uh, he's one of those guys along with effort,

1264
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: that you can grab late and probably get pretty good

1265
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: product where you taking him twelve or later alright, Mark

1266
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:52,560
Speaker 1: scrant uh Kyle, Yeah, probably probably yea ten or twelve

1267
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 1: somewhere around there. But can we talk about Doug Martin?

1268
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: And I was like doing the happy dance, just kind

1269
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 1: of watching him, like I've been hearing for the last

1270
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks how he looks so much. I don't

1271
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 1: know how he has this burst and he showed it

1272
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: on so he looked he looked good, and especially when

1273
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 1: Jamis looked so bad. But the first book, four or

1274
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,920
Speaker 1: five plays, the bucks ran all runs and I think

1275
01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: he picked up four or five yards everything. He had

1276
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 1: some really good runs. Like he looked really really good. Um.

1277
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 1: The thing I liked about Doug Martin the way he

1278
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: looked too, is is his lateral movement seemed to be

1279
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: coming back. He lost some weight and he's supposedly the

1280
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: quickst he's bettened since his rookie year, which helped him

1281
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: a little bit. So you gotta get I mean, because

1282
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:31,160
Speaker 1: with that offensive line they needed I mean, obviously they

1283
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: need a lot of help on that old line, but

1284
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: with that line, because it's such a project. If you

1285
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: don't have lateral movement, you can't necessarily be a north

1286
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: south guy when there's no holes you You're gonna have

1287
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 1: to create for yourself just a little bit. And we

1288
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 1: saw some of that creativity, uh with the muscle Hamps

1289
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: tree in that preseason game. And I think you're right.

1290
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he's I don't know if

1291
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take him in the top three rounds. But

1292
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: I tell you what, if you're taking a if you

1293
01:02:56,800 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: want to put a stake on him in the fourth

1294
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: or if I wouldn't be, I wouldn't. I wouldn't say

1295
01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,280
Speaker 1: it's a crazy pick. I wouldn't say it's crazy pick.

1296
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: All right, Um, let's talk about San Francisco at Houston,

1297
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: and we got to how about Jared Hayne. Can somebody

1298
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: give me a scouting report on this guy? Man, Holy caw.

1299
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: I know he's uh some high level rugby player, but

1300
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: that run that the description I heard, by the way,

1301
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 1: was the believe it was the Michael Jordan of rugby. Okay,

1302
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: I like it. Jared Hayne for San Francisco. It's gotta

1303
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: get Carlos high owners a little bit worried. No, I

1304
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: don't know he had he had one run through a

1305
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: gaping hole. He's I mean, you always talk about other

1306
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: guys that have upright running styles. You want to see runner,

1307
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 1: it's Jared Hayne, that rugby style. He's He's just somebody

1308
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: it's fun to talk about right now. Is like, you know,

1309
01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 1: just a fun name and a fun story. He should

1310
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: make the team, but he's not gonna threaten Carlos High.

1311
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: The gather guys in the roster like Kendall Hunting Hunter

1312
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 1: and Reggie Bush are gonna do that. Marcus, I know

1313
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: you follow this team very closely. Yeah, I'm not. I mean,

1314
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: I'm not drafting. He's a nice story and it was

1315
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: fun to watch him have some success. I'm not. I'm not.

1316
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm not drafting, and no one, no one likes him

1317
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: at all. I mean that, I'm right, quait No, Okay,

1318
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: come on, you know what again? This goes back, um,

1319
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: when you're talking about Carlos Hide is somebody who I

1320
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 1: was really excited about last year but never really got

1321
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: his opportunity in. Going into the season, You're thinking, Okay, well,

1322
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a great chance for him. Unfortunately,

1323
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 1: I expect this team to be historically bad, like the

1324
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 1: historically like the doing Love like not so many years ago.

1325
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: It's like some of your ram bias coming. This isn't

1326
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: ram bias like most kids. What are you saying here? Win?

1327
01:04:35,400 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 1: One win, two wins? One to two wins? Wow? Okay,

1328
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: let's they don't know what they're doing. They have to

1329
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: so alright, So Carlos Hide, they got another guy got suspended.

1330
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: I can't even keep up with their cable the losses

1331
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 1: that they've it's crazy. Um so Carlos no direction like

1332
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh, who I think a lot of people would

1333
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 1: consider batcrap crazy. He was the same one at all together.

1334
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: Um yeah, man, I think he might be right. I

1335
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,240
Speaker 1: know I've soured on Carlos Hide. Um, he's still great.

1336
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: He's got upside, but I think at his asking price,

1337
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 1: which is in that Like I'd love him on the Cowboys. Yeah,

1338
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: I love Kyrie Robinson if they wanted to pick up

1339
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: the phone. But it's it's a Tuesday, so that means

1340
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: we have some breaking fantasy related news in here. Uh

1341
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: it is coming through on my Twitter timeline. Okay, what

1342
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: do you got? Lea? Shawn McCoy has left the field,

1343
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 1: clearly tweet here Lashawn McCoy clearly holding his hamstring as

1344
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: he heads to the locker. Room non contact injury during

1345
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: seven seven so non contact cam so he was down

1346
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 1: apparently on the field he has been helped off. He's

1347
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: holding his hamstring. Obviously we don't know what it is,

1348
01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: but I mean the arian fosters out. We we have

1349
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: a dearth of of workhorse running back. The potential of

1350
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Sean McCoy being heard for a while. He's not a

1351
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 1: good thing. Oh Man, Rex Ryan was talking about this

1352
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: guy possibly being a thousand yard receiver at the thousand

1353
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: yard rusher obviously got to stay on the field. Um

1354
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: for that, I was I pooh pooed the trade immediately

1355
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: when it happened. I said, look, Leshn, this absolutely destroys

1356
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,439
Speaker 1: his fantasy value in my mind only because Rex Ryan.

1357
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 1: I look, I get it, the grounded pound style, but

1358
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,919
Speaker 1: Lashan McCoy doesn't fit that offense. He's just not that guy. Um.

1359
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: I think he's a very dynamic dude. Rex Ryan's offenses

1360
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 1: have always been very simple, uh and not very creative. Um,

1361
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: but you've got to be a grinder and a guy

1362
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: who's a tough workhorse dude to really excel in that offense.

1363
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 1: I just didn't see Lashawn McCoy being that guy. I

1364
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: love Lashawn McCoy. I love me some Lashawn McCoy. I

1365
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: just think he's a good player, bad fit. Um, and

1366
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: then you hear about this injury, he'll move down a

1367
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:58,440
Speaker 1: couple of notches. Uh in my book, yet again still

1368
01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 1: obviously still obviously first round pick. Oh, I don't know

1369
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: about that. I just I was just gonna say he's

1370
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: starting to slip down to the third round. Who would

1371
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 1: draft you're not taking? You would take depending on what

1372
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: this injury is. That's true, It really depends. Um. Can

1373
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: we talk spend a little bit of time talking about

1374
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: other formats here? Um? I know, I know, we just

1375
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, normally talk about you know, standard drafts and

1376
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: whatever might be. But I don't want to spend a

1377
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 1: little bit of time talking about PPR and possibly I

1378
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 1: d P as well. U PPR For those newbies who

1379
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: are listening to this part. If you're a new but

1380
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: you're probably not listening. But it's fine. PPRS points per

1381
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: reception and you can do anything. Uh, a quarter point,

1382
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: a full point, seventeen points, it doesn't matter, but a

1383
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: point per reception. It kind of levels the playing field

1384
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: a little bit between skill position players and quarterbacks and

1385
01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 1: that's really what it's intended to do. Um In a

1386
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:56,040
Speaker 1: scenario like this, running backs who catch, oh my gosh,

1387
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 1: they move up considerably. And I know Matt Forte in

1388
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: lot of PPR leagues last year was going number one

1389
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: overall again and again and again. And it's a system

1390
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: that also behooves a guy like Jamal Charles as well,

1391
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: Alex in a PPR league, you know, give the drafters

1392
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 1: out there some guys they should keep their eye on. Well,

1393
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 1: you also don't want to discount a lot of guys

1394
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: well poo poo names like Julian Edemana, Jarvis Landry or

1395
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 1: things like that. Standard those guys are studs and uh

1396
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: and PPR leagues because of their their high volume of

1397
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: targets and receptions, they're gonna get. And like I said,

1398
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: the past catching running backs guys like Danny Woodhead, I

1399
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: talked about him being, you know, like the top twenty

1400
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,200
Speaker 1: five running back and standard a couple years ago and

1401
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: he was healthy. He's like a top fifteen, top sixteen

1402
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 1: running back in PPR leagues. It's the only fourmat I'll draft.

1403
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: C J. Spiller. Yeah, those guys are great, So you

1404
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: wanna if you can get one of the elite pass

1405
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,560
Speaker 1: catching running back. Still it's fine. It's good to do

1406
01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: that in round one. I mean, even guys like Eddie

1407
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: Lacy catch a year. But after that, load up on

1408
01:08:53,520 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Marcus Grant. Uh. Any advice for the drafters

1409
01:08:57,960 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 1: out there of PPR leagues, Uh, you know, I think

1410
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 1: at the top of the draft it's gonna look a

1411
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 1: lot like it does at the top of your standard

1412
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: league draft. And I think what Alex said has a

1413
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: lot of validity to it that you are gonna look

1414
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: at guys like Levian Bell, Adrian Peterson, Jamal Charles because

1415
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 1: they do catch so many passes. This is one where

1416
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about any sort of public

1417
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,160
Speaker 1: scorn or shame when you designed to take Antonio Brown

1418
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:20,200
Speaker 1: is the number five pick. I mean, it's it's a

1419
01:09:20,280 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: legal It's a situation where Rob Gronkowski is easily a

1420
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 1: first rounder because of you know, not only his production

1421
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,080
Speaker 1: just and even from a standard perspective, but the fact

1422
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 1: that he gets so many targets and so many catches,

1423
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: and he's just so far above and beyond the rest

1424
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:37,040
Speaker 1: of the field. I think even now that Jimmy Graham's

1425
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: gone to Seattle. You know, Gronk has really become, uh

1426
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 1: the guy at the tight end position. All right, let's

1427
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: talk very quickly about I d P. This is uh

1428
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 1: independent defensive individual defensive look I've been playing. I told

1429
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 1: Gil hard and I got into a little argument about

1430
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: whether or not what you talk about at I d

1431
01:09:55,600 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 1: P because I've been playing fantasy football more than fifteen years.

1432
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: I can't remember how long, but about fifteen or sixteen

1433
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,639
Speaker 1: years I've played in gosh, I don't know fifty leagues.

1434
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: I've never played an id never, and I've never and

1435
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: I've never even uh met a manager who are a

1436
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,800
Speaker 1: commissioner who wanted to play in an IDP league, because

1437
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: it's so it is so random whether or not these

1438
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: guys rops the Navarro bom because a couple of years

1439
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: ago he won me an IDP league and last game

1440
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: at chandel Stick Park he had to pick six. Actually,

1441
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,759
Speaker 1: technically I won the league on the interception by itself.

1442
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: The fact that he ran it all the way back

1443
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:32,600
Speaker 1: for a touchdown was just I love it. You do

1444
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 1: get points, uh, depending on on your setup. You get

1445
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: points for for tackles and interceptions and and returns and

1446
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 1: sacks and all of that. Uh Gil hard Fill filled

1447
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 1: the folks in on I. The reason some people do

1448
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:45,840
Speaker 1: like it is because it adds an extra element of

1449
01:10:45,920 --> 01:10:49,320
Speaker 1: strategy and uh, you know, theory to to your draft,

1450
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 1: because you have to figure out when do I start

1451
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 1: taking my linebackers and safeties and defensive obviously J J

1452
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: want at the very top of the list here on

1453
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 1: most I Normally, defensive linemen are like the worst position

1454
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: in IDP leaks, so they just don't get the tackle

1455
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: numbers and sacks are hard to predict and don't net

1456
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: as much as the guy that's gonna get hundre for tackles.

1457
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: But J J. Watt is the lone exception. He is insane.

1458
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 1: He's like, let i DP scores I think the last

1459
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 1: two years, and you can reach for him. But when

1460
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 1: you say reach, what does that mean. I haven't done

1461
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 1: an i DP draft in a while, so I don't

1462
01:11:18,600 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 1: know where he's going. I tapped out of him because,

1463
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:22,760
Speaker 1: like you didn't like the randomness. But for those that

1464
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:24,599
Speaker 1: want to get more into it and have even more

1465
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,640
Speaker 1: football analysis and discussion, IDP can be fun. All right

1466
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: there you go? Uh very quickly, can we talk about

1467
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: best ball. This is a new pretty a new fantasy format.

1468
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: I I I the fantasy hipsters love best Ball, I

1469
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,040
Speaker 1: mean absolutely love best Ball, but it is starting to

1470
01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: emerge as a more popular option. It's less I want

1471
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: to say, it's less stressful on a week to week basis.

1472
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:48,639
Speaker 1: But basically best ball basically just the system takes your

1473
01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: highest scoring players, whether they're quote unquote a starter or

1474
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:54,599
Speaker 1: on the bench. They just look at your entire roster.

1475
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: There's no bench. It's just whoever scores the most points. Uh,

1476
01:11:58,280 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: that's your roster for the week, and then at the

1477
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: end of the year, whoever is the most points win,

1478
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 1: so you have a bigger roster. Uh. One of the

1479
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: best places to do this is my Fantasy league dot com.

1480
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 1: That's if you see people talking about nfls and things

1481
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:11,560
Speaker 1: like that, that's where they're doing it. But you do

1482
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,000
Speaker 1: a twenty round draft the keys. You want to get

1483
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: running backs early, especially because it's a volatile position, and

1484
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: you want things like that even more so than Fabriano

1485
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 1: Trump's for standard leagues again, and it's because you can't

1486
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:24,040
Speaker 1: pick guys up off pick guys up off the waiver wire. Yeah,

1487
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: so for injuries, for being a volatile position, get them

1488
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:28,840
Speaker 1: early weight on quarterbacks. It is fun though, because you

1489
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 1: you spend a lot of time doing the draft, but

1490
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: then you basically just said it and forget it, and

1491
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 1: you can check in each week to see how your

1492
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: team did. If your team gets completely injured, it's gonna

1493
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,519
Speaker 1: be frustrating as hell, but it's fun to go. All right,

1494
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 1: let's do daily DAPs for the week? Shall we? Depth?

1495
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: But daily DAPT coming in hot this week a little bit.

1496
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 1: I had switched the board around and when I put

1497
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: it back in, it came at volume I hadn't realized,

1498
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 1: so I had to quickly try and adjustine. Which hey, no,

1499
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: don't apologize because I'll tell you what it's. It's the

1500
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:07,200
Speaker 1: hot segment daily DAPs. We'll talk about it where it's

1501
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: uh if you want to hit us on on Twitter.

1502
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 1: By all means, I'm taking Twitter suggestions on daily DAPs. Basically,

1503
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: who are you giving props to for the week, for

1504
01:13:15,479 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 1: the day, whatever it might be? Alex Gillhar will start

1505
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: with you. Mine was. I was at a friend's birthday

1506
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 1: party this past weekend and his girlfriend surprised him with

1507
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: a puppy party. For the first hour or two that

1508
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,280
Speaker 1: it was there. Somebody literally brings a There were like

1509
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: eight or ten puppies, like actual puppies jack Rystle Terriers,

1510
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 1: Yorkies that I'm getting very uncomfortable, I don't know. And

1511
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:39,880
Speaker 1: they set up from the Midwest. They set up a

1512
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: little what's that supposed to be. I'm a dog lover.

1513
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:43,560
Speaker 1: They set up a little fence and you can just

1514
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 1: sit in there and hang out with the puppies and

1515
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 1: they'll come on your lap and you can pat them

1516
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: and play the toys with them, and it's just adorable.

1517
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: And it was I didn't even know what existed until

1518
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: it was happening. Who cleans the pooh? Uh? The lady

1519
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: cleans theo brings the dogs. But it was it was

1520
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: pretty cool. So if you have somebody that's a huge

1521
01:13:57,560 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 1: dog lover and their birth puppy parties, consider a puppy party.

1522
01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:03,960
Speaker 1: I like it. Marcus Cratuh mine goes out to Marco Rubio.

1523
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,160
Speaker 1: And this is not about the campaign or anything like that.

1524
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 1: But I don't know if you've seen the video floating

1525
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: around on the internets today. Uh, you know how politicians

1526
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,639
Speaker 1: go out and they try to connect with regular people

1527
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,679
Speaker 1: and do regular people things. So Marco Rubio decides he's

1528
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 1: going to toss a past to a young child. Um,

1529
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 1: let's just say that the past was not completed. And

1530
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:25,320
Speaker 1: I feel like Marco Rubio has taken a lot of

1531
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 1: unfair heat in this situation. It was a good throw,

1532
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:33,560
Speaker 1: Its a catchable ball. It was a catchable ball, and

1533
01:14:33,680 --> 01:14:36,760
Speaker 1: this child has you know, just whipped on it and

1534
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,799
Speaker 1: it bounces off his head and the past lands and complete.

1535
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: The kids stumbles and falls forward. But I feel like

1536
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio is taking some unfair heat on this because

1537
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: he made a good throw on top of it. It

1538
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 1: has been a really it's been a great excuse for

1539
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: everybody to go dig out the old SNL United Way.

1540
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:54,519
Speaker 1: Peyton Man spoof again like he could have let his

1541
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:56,080
Speaker 1: receiver though maybe a little bit more. But it's a

1542
01:14:56,120 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 1: it's a catchable ball. He's got to make that play.

1543
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:02,640
Speaker 1: Somebody's kids gotta make the somebody's presidential campaign right. And

1544
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 1: how you feel about Iran and that how you throw

1545
01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: a ball to a child. Adam rank Daily DAPs you know,

1546
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 1: I got a couple you want to First off to

1547
01:15:14,400 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 1: the young man who is at raw in Minnesota on

1548
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 1: Monday night. He was wearing a Vikings jersey number sixty nine,

1549
01:15:21,880 --> 01:15:23,600
Speaker 1: and I tweeted and I said, hey, wait, I go

1550
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 1: is that guy wearing a Jared Allen jersey? Or that

1551
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,880
Speaker 1: was also the number that brock Lessner wore his brief

1552
01:15:29,960 --> 01:15:32,799
Speaker 1: stint with the Minnesota Vikings. I don't know if somebody

1553
01:15:32,920 --> 01:15:35,280
Speaker 1: had talked to him or tweeted him or told him

1554
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: or whatever. By the end of the night, he had

1555
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: turned the jersey around so he could see the nameplate.

1556
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: It was a brock Lessner jersey. That's props. That's props.

1557
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to give daily dab. I take DAPs

1558
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 1: away from r G three who said he's the best quarterback.

1559
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't like negative. I don't. I don't like that,

1560
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:54,679
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't. I feel like when somebody

1561
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 1: asks you, like, are you the best quarterback, he should

1562
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: say no, because he's not, and he should know. Like

1563
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 1: if somebody comes up through like are you the best comedian?

1564
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:04,439
Speaker 1: I like no. Bill Burr's funnier than me. Louis c

1565
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 1: k is funny. I'm I'm I'm happy to acknowledge that

1566
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 1: there's people in my industry were better than me. So

1567
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's wrong for a quarterback to do it.

1568
01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: But my daily DAPs go to anybody who is not

1569
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 1: a sub tweeter, because sub tweeters are the stinking worst.

1570
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. Mike Roadac just tweeted out

1571
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: a photo of Lashaw McCoy walk into the locker room

1572
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,640
Speaker 1: with a heavy limp. You know what I did. I

1573
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: retweeted it. That's all I did. I added nothing to it.

1574
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 1: But there's people. I'm not gonna call anybody outlets I say,

1575
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,520
Speaker 1: one of these guys his name rhymes with Ian Rappaport,

1576
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:42,200
Speaker 1: has to put oh no. So he gets a bunch

1577
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: of retweets and his ego gets stroked and all that. No,

1578
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 1: just retweet the kids. What's this kid? How many? Not?

1579
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 1: Like you were subtweeting somebody about subtweeting you tweeting. I

1580
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: can't believe Ian Rappaport at rap sheet does no. It's

1581
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,960
Speaker 1: it's taking the it's when you use that quote function

1582
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: for your own now, because you're still getting the retweets

1583
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 1: in your side like that. He's got forty five thousand followers.

1584
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 1: You don't think that he would get a little bit

1585
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 1: of a charge to five people are going to be

1586
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 1: retweeting his photo that you gotta step in and be like, Nope,

1587
01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 1: I can't give him the glory. I gotta step in

1588
01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: and take it all. This is, by the way, this

1589
01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: is this is the crazy talk that that we are

1590
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: subjected to on a daily basis, sitting next to Adam Rank.

1591
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: The crazy talk. But we'll say I'm with Rank, though,

1592
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:39,080
Speaker 1: don't quote it unless you actually have something to add,

1593
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:43,559
Speaker 1: like that's that's relevant, not an oh no, Why can't

1594
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 1: you just reply and just say, oh no, I mean

1595
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 1: and then that part would get just just retweet the

1596
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:50,800
Speaker 1: kids tweet like that's all, Like that's he's a hard

1597
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: working kid for for up there living in Buffalo. I

1598
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,280
Speaker 1: can't believe we're having a meta conversation, you know what.

1599
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:58,479
Speaker 1: But here's the thing, though, is that there's a lot

1600
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: of NFL media personlities who are very guilty of this,

1601
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: who are very and I get I feel like I'm

1602
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:07,600
Speaker 1: guilty of this. No, I'm not sure I'm gonna have

1603
01:18:07,640 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: to go down how much like a simple retweet like

1604
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 1: let's give somebody some glory and you know, and it

1605
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 1: goes both way, Like I don't have a huge Twitter following,

1606
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: but if I'm doing the at midnight thing, and I

1607
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 1: see somebody who's very exceptional, I just want to retweet him,

1608
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 1: give him a little bit of him or her, a

1609
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 1: little bit of exposure, let him have some fun. We're

1610
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 1: gonna We're gonna quick question for you though, because then

1611
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 1: have you hit the reply on the tweet? Though? That's fine,

1612
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, but it quotes the tweet and it puts it,

1613
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:38,040
Speaker 1: puts it underneath your response. No, because when you hit retweet,

1614
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 1: if you can hit, you want to retweet or do

1615
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 1: you want to quote treat and quote treat? People go

1616
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,360
Speaker 1: like blah blah blah. Right, I'm adding nothing, but I'm

1617
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:48,720
Speaker 1: just taking your hard work. That's basically what it's going up.

1618
01:18:48,760 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: And it's saying like, you know what, I heard Bill

1619
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 1: Burr tell a funny joke. You're still trying to catch

1620
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 1: the glory of the Bill bird joke even though you're

1621
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 1: guys ing and under the I'm giving him credit. Like

1622
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 1: it's not like as normal people be like, have you

1623
01:19:01,800 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: heard Bill Burrs or have you heard Jim Jefferies view

Speaker 1: on gun control? Go watch it on YouTube? You trying

1625
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,600
Speaker 1: to recreate it is awful? Is there not going to

Speaker 1: the local thing and then you get the network thing,

1639
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:57,840
Speaker 1: which is great. Um. But I really got a lot

1640
