Speaker 1: I got to change the name. It was said drop.

45
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Uh so it was about time. We've been living together

46
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: for a while and I finally uh manned up. Yeah,

47
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: and uh we Her sister lives in l A. So

48
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: she helped me out plan this and we went up

49
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: to Griffith Observatory for quote unquote planetarium show that didn't

50
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: actually exists. She bought in and we went around the

51
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: back of the observatory. It's a great view of the

52
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: city and we found a spot and I got down

53
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: on one knee and she said yes, and uh then

54
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: we had a really nice dinner and it was awesome. Hey,

55
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: I got a question, did you actually did you ask

56
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: her father? Yes? Her mother and father. Yes, it's like

57
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: over a year ago, over a year because I don't

58
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: I don't see them very much in person, so I

59
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: knew when I saw them they were out here visiting

60
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: that I had to get that in and it's bed

61
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: time flies, So I don't believe they kept that under wraps.

62
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: They did, they did. Yes, I can't believe we kept

63
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: under wraps. I have been itching to tell Mackenzie since

64
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: you told us. But now that's awesome, man, that is

65
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, I mean there's also a backstory. You

66
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: were very shady about how you guys got together. So

67
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: that's great. That's that's for a different body, very different podcasts.

68
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 1: But but no, congratulations, thank you. I appreciate that. Uh

69
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: it's it's you will be the second married man on

70
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: this podcast. All right, all right, so there you go. No,

71
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: but really, though, um, thank you, thank you. Well you guys.

72
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's also for a different podcast. You know.

73
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: Actually right now we kind of have like a sliding

74
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 1: scale of relationship involvement. We've got James, you're fully fledged

75
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: married with with with child franchise, You're engaged l Harrison

76
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: weirdly serious relations nascent stages, and uh, you know, when

77
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: Marcus is playing the field, you know he's out there,

78
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: and then there's me dead inside and alone. So it's

79
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: it's it's like a it's a circle. Wow. I wonder

80
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: if like we're gonna move each side of the circle.

81
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,119
Speaker 1: By the way, we're gonna be talking about the NFC

82
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: East just got off, not just our feelings. We will

83
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: be talking about the NFC. E's Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Washington

84
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: billis start in Chicago. Uh, Jeremy Lankford Week two. This

85
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,799
Speaker 1: is our basically our week two takeaways here for the preseason.

86
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: But Jeremy Langford looked tremendous. Uh. You can find all

87
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: of the Week two takeaways, by the way www dot

Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash gil Hard g E l h

89
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: A R NFL dot com slash gel har Alex will

90
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: start with you, Jeremy Langford and Shytown. Again. There's been

91
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: I mean just not just rumors but reports, uh, coaching

92
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: staff talking about committee. But man, Jeremy Lankford looked good. Yeah,

93
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: And a lot of handwringing was around this, you know,

94
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: people were saying that it was sounding and looking like

95
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: all four of these guys with cadem carry and Quiz

96
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: Rodgers and Jordan Howard are gonna get worked. But so

97
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: far Lankfords looked great, and they've been giving him almost

98
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: all the reps with the first team. So even if

99
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 1: this becomes some sort of committee, you think his dual

100
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: threat nature being a good pass catcher out of the

101
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: backfield and and showing some burst between the tackles, he'll

102
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: at least be in the driver's seat, which makes me

103
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: feel a lot more comfortable of his kind of seven

104
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: to eight eighth round a DP. We just did a

105
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: mock draft today and our friend Hythan Klonie stole him

106
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: a couple of picks before me. I was going to

107
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: take him. Actually, I think that's did you take him?

108
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: I think I took him in the sixth Oh maybe

109
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 1: it was you. Then I was thinking about it. I

110
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: was picking right before hyde him. So yeah, if he

111
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: gets six of this backfield share is a sixth round

112
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: grade not just a steel for this guy, that's pretty good,

113
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: I would say. I mean, because there's so many backfield

114
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: chairs everywhere. If pick up you know, sixty of the

115
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: backfield touches got ley Man, I feel pretty good about

116
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: him there. I think it's a huge steel. Yeah, and

117
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: so I'm writing him up for one of the breakouts.

118
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert for our draft kids. And the funny thing

119
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: about Langford is obviously like he started out pretty optimistically,

120
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: like twenty four overall in early MFL tens. And then

121
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: we know that Mike Clay wrote that really good and

122
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: scathing piece of Langford which he brought up a lot

123
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: of good points about how not good he might be

124
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: at the whole football thing. But that also doesn't a problem,

125
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: all right, But then but not necessarily because that also

126
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: does necessarily matter because in the three games at Langford

127
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: started when Forte was out, he was the running back

128
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: for the running back one in the running back seventeen

129
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 1: in those weeks. So it's just, you know, for the

130
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: proof that the running back position is incredibly opportunity driven,

131
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: and we still saw explosive plays even when Matt four.

132
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: When Forte came back, Lankford had double digit Russia attempts

133
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: in all but one of those games from like week

134
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: twelve through the rest of the season too, so he

135
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: was a big part of that backfield. And the other thing,

136
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: all this talk about a committee, it's like Cadem Carry

137
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: and ja Quiz Rodgers our career backups right in seven

138
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: combined seasons as professional football players, they've logged a combined

139
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: fewer than four hundred Russia attempts, driving Lanford's price right

140
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: back up. I just I think people are overreacting to

141
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: this committee talk. All right, yeah, get on board, Get

142
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: on board. I've been on board with Jeremy Lankford all preseason. Man,

143
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm excited. I hope he gets the opportunity. We've

144
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: seen the explosive plays. Even going back to his Michigan

145
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: State days, he was a good, solid running back. And

146
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: I know some of the advanced analytics maybe say otherwise,

147
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: but man, I don't know. You watched this kid play

148
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: and he can play. All right, let's go to tennessee

149
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: Taj Sharp. Man. He has looked speaking off, he has

150
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: looked very sharp, he has. I I really liked Sharp

151
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: as a player, but I really hate puns. So this

152
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be this is gonna be like a conflicting

153
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: thing for me in terms of how I feel about

154
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: his six. All right, you know what, Harmon, you've been

155
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: talking about Taj Sharp. You and Alex have both of

156
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: me talking about Taj Sharp at NASA here. Um, give

157
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: me something you know that you know that you have

158
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: really picked up on in terms of his game. Yeah.

159
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: So the one thing that I actually said when I

160
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 1: wrote up about twenty one prospects for receptive Reception perception

161
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: results on Backyard Banter, I said about Sharp that he

162
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: and Sterling Shepard had the most advanced route assignments of

163
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: the prospects, and I thought that that would actually said

164
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: in that article is funny looking back on it, you know,

165
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: this could be a guy that we that sneaks up

166
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: the depth chart pretty quickly because of that, And sure enough,

167
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: that's that's pretty much exactly what's happened. And you know,

168
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 1: if you look at what Sharp does in reception perception,

169
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: he runs a lot of good out routes and he's

170
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: just a solid overall guy that gets really good separation.

171
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: You know, he's not an overwhelming athlete. He actually had

172
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: like weirdly small hands at the East West Shrine game,

173
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 1: but then came there so sure though, but he can Yeah,

174
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: and then he came back with like bigger hands at

175
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: the combine. So who the hell really knows that his

176
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 1: health grew, But massaging guys on the quarterback from Arkansas

177
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: or whatever had that too. He saw a massage therapist

178
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: and his hands grew like a quarter of an inch. Weird.

179
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: I gotta get that done. Something about that seems shading. Yeah, yeah,

180
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: it's it's a little it's a little peculiar. But I

181
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: think what another good thing about Sharp two is he

182
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: moved all around the formation. He had forty eight percent

183
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: of his sampled SAPs in reception perception at right wide receiver,

184
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: twenty one at the left, and twenty nine in the slot.

185
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: So he's gott you can play all different positions. This

186
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: is a wide receiver needy team and James, you and

187
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: I were talking about this on Friday. It's pretty easy

188
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: to project the Titans passing offense out and to get

189
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: him to a one hundred targets if he is indeed

190
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: going to start, and so that makes him really interesting

191
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: as a late round flyer. Cool. Yeah, you know, I

192
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 1: mean I I we did our Prospect Today series over

193
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: the summer. I looked at Sharp and I one of

194
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: the things I said about him that he is a

195
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 1: very good route runner. He's not kind of like you said, Harmon,

196
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: He's not a top end speed guy. He's very much

197
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: a technician. I think it's interesting that you mentioned him

198
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: alongside Sterling Shepherd, because I think they have a lot

199
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 1: of similarities in terms of what they do on the field.

200
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: I worry though, that because there isn't a legit burner,

201
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: at least somebody that we think can take the top

202
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: off the defense. And maybe that's maybe Richard Matthews can

203
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: become that guy that suddenly you're gonna get. Defense is

204
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: just kind of sitting on underneath and intermediate routes, which

205
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: really will limit his effectiveness. I mean, we're looking at

206
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: an offense last year overall, that was the offense in

207
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: the National Football League, and so the burden of proof

208
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: is going to be on Marcus Mariota, on Mike Malarkey,

209
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: on everybody down there in Tennessee to prove to us

210
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: that they can be better than they were last year.

211
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: And so I mean, look, right now, Sharp's coming off

212
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: the board in the double round. He's he's into the draft,

213
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: and I don't see a problem with throwing a dart

214
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: and seeing if he can pan out for you. But um,

215
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know that he is more than

216
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: like a fifth option right now for me. Again, I

217
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: don't see how he doesn't walk into at least a

218
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: hundred targets, which means his floor is pretty good. What

219
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: we saw in the Week two preseason, he looked I mean,

220
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: he looked like the real deal. His hands are he

221
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: just looks more polished than a lot of rookies. Do

222
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: It remind me like when Stefon Diggs kind of broke

223
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: out in the middle of last year after he took

224
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: a little while to get acclimated. He just he does

225
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the little things right

226
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,719
Speaker 1: right now. And I think the biggest thing for him

227
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: in fantasy, like you said, is his volume. I don't

228
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: think there's any way he's not at least the number

229
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: two wide out on this offense with Henry Richard Matthews,

230
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: like Marcus was saying. And while last year the Titans

231
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: were they ranked offense, so much has changed this year.

232
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: Must not forget Zach Mettenberger was making, you know, valuable

233
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: starts for them last year. If Mariotta stays healthy, with

234
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: that combo of Murray and Derrick Henry in the backfield,

235
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: these two whiteouts could be interesting. You know. I'll tell

236
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: you this too. We still have Mike Malarkey. I noticeably

237
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: left him off for a reason for some reason when

238
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: we start talking about Taj Sharp. But I always pictured

239
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: him as this like five guy. He's six to two

240
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: pounds and he ran a four or five five the guy.

241
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: Can you know people talk about him not having top

242
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: end speed four or five, five forty, it's six to

243
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: Look that's pretty good. Um. And and again I think

244
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: his athleticism is fine. Um. Is he one of those

245
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: guys that's a special athlete. No, but I do think

246
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: that with his route running skills and that speed and

247
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: that size, and obviously we saw the hands in week

248
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: two again, I'm really starting to dig tag sharp man.

249
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: I think he can really make an impact in fantasy

250
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: and in PPR. I'll tell you right now that I

251
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 1: would not feel uncomfortable playing him in my flex at all.

252
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 1: I think another big thing with a rookie like this

253
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: in in the preseason is building that trust with his quarterback.

254
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: And if he's hauling in all these targets that come

255
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: his way, Mariot is going to trust him and just

256
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: load him up early in the season. And I don't disagree.

257
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: You slated a great catch today when we were in

258
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: the Stronghold franchise. You showed me the one he caught

259
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: up in traffic and double coverage and got blasted and

260
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: hung onto it. That's the kind of thing that definitely

261
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: builds up across all. Right, let's go to Seattle. Uh,

262
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls back practicing now. He says he's gonna be

263
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: ready to go for week one, and there's no reason

264
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: not to believe me. He's out there practicing. And again

265
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 1: he was a workhorse Bell Colt type dude last year

266
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: when Marshawn Lynch went down. But we've seen Christian Michael

267
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: now make an impact as well. Um. You know, it's

268
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: interesting everyone says, well, what's the difference now with with

269
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: C Mike Um? And you know, we found out that

270
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: he had a child recently, right, and so like him

271
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: being a dad has has made him more mature. He's

272
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: more focused on football, and I think he sees this

273
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: as his last opportunity to really make an impact, uh

274
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And I'll tell you, as a relatively

275
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: new dad myself, I could absolutely see that. I could

276
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 1: absolutely see that changing a person um and having them

277
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: be more focused on on the future and in the

278
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: present and basically just maturing up. Because you know, five

279
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: years ago before I get us frequenting the bars, I

280
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: like so much more. I like this this is like

281
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: the second week in a row we've had you on

282
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: like some dat analysis on like yeah, what's like, what's

283
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: the word? I'm we're intangible dat analysis sort of very great. Yeah,

284
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: and you're the only one in this podcast, right you

285
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: know you know that that we know of. All I

286
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 1: know is now with this talk of Thomas Rawls coming back,

287
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: all of your Kristen Michael Chickens are coming home to you. Now,

288
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: we're all coming home to the Rawles thing. Doesn't go

289
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: with my narrative, so I don't buy into it. There

290
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: you go, that's a professional fantasy analysis. Sea Mike is

291
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: going to be involved whether Rawls is there or not.

292
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: It's the question of yeah, he's gonna he's gonna get

293
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: work sadly, Yeah, yeah, I mean why not because I

294
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: think the history that we've seen with with Pete Carroll

295
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: and Level is that they've gone with one guy because

296
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: they had one the well hey listen, Marshawn Lynch. Yes,

297
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: but even when Marshawn Lynch went down, Thomas Rawls got

298
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: all the carries. Man. It wasn't like they were easing

299
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: Thomas Rowles in. They just said, but they didn't have anyone.

300
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 1: I didn't have anybody else. They had thirty three year

301
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: old semi injured Fred Jackson and Chris and Michael is

302
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: still off in the wilderness somewhere trying to find himself

303
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: and everyone and all his teammates and coaches are There's

304
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: just all these articles keep coming out about how Sea

305
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: Mike has changed. This article on ESPN was posted last week.

306
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: UM Doug Baldwin said he wanted to elevate his game

307
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: in terms of the passing game. He's worked really hard

308
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: to get to where he's at. Earl Thomas said he's

309
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: being creative setting up his runs and it's exciting to see. Um.

310
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: His worth at work ethic is off the charts. Pete

311
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: Carroll said his reads, his past protection stuff is ball

312
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: catching skills, everything is up. I think he's taking care

313
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: of the football better. Uh uh. I think in general

314
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: he's just more mindful of how to play the position.

315
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: All aspects of his game have improved. All right. So

316
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: here's the thing. See, Mike is no better than a

317
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: late round dart throw. Yes, yes, okay, so agree. So

318
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: I want to say dart throw. But he's because he

319
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: went in what round ten of our recent mock and

320
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: that kind of area where he's either a high level

321
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: backup or somebody you think could push for usable weeks

322
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: on his own, even in some sort of committee. I

323
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: think that's more where I think it more. I think

324
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: it more regular person legs. I I'd be surprised if

325
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: he's drafted. I think he'll go, you know, somewhere in

326
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: that twelve fifteen round range, if he goes at all.

327
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: But what does this mean for Thomas Rawles, Because yes,

328
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: let's say Thomas Rawles projected to start Week one, he

329
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: was as high as the second round. I cannot see

330
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: him being drafted there now. But he's falling as far

331
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: as the fifth round, and I think, yeah, that's a

332
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: good price for Rawls for sure. Fifth round five. I

333
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: mean they don't seem to high. I mean I love that,

334
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: like I actually legitimately think that Seattle could have the

335
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: best offense in the NFL this year with the guys

336
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: that they have at the past catching corps, the quarterback

337
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: that they have, these two running backs. If they're going

338
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: to play this way, that's great. If they get anything

339
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: from our boy cd A process at this point, I

340
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: think that's kind of gravy, But I mean, it just

341
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: could make for a really confusing week to week split,

342
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 1: because you're right that Seattle has tended to ride one

343
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: player at the running back position, But that could easily

344
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: be like, all right, Rawles, this is your week, Michael,

345
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: this is your week. And I think that I do

346
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: want to running back that's attached to that kind of

347
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: explosive offense. But I don't know, it just it makes

348
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: me feel weird investing in I don't really have a

349
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: good reason for it makes me feel weird investing in Rawles.

350
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: I just get kind of a bad feeling. And that's

351
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: pretty crappy analysis that I just feel. And I think

352
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: part of the reasoning too, is that this might be

353
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: one of those situations where the cats out of the bag.

354
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: Now Rawles has missed so much time, and see Mike

355
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 1: has looked so good and built up all this steam

356
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 1: that they really can't just put him back in because

357
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: you know what happens in Seattle. If Rawls is a

358
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: little slow out of the gate because of his ankle

359
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: or has a game that struggles, then it's like then

360
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: the twelves are pounding on the walls of the stadium,

361
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: like where's my right? But I mean this, but this.

362
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: I think that that part speaks to the way Pete

363
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: Carroll runs a football team and that he it is

364
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 1: built on competition about I know that, you know, I

365
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 1: know that you guys get sick of us USC Hanks

366
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: around here always talking about stuff. But the fact of

367
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: the matter is, I mean, our senior producer for End

368
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: of Our Fantasy Life, Dylan Milner started pulling out all

369
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: these names of mediocre USC running backs who got chances

370
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: because of competition. C J. Gable, Emmanuel Moody. I mean,

371
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: like you know, got Martha Tyler, you know, I mean

372
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: these guys. But that's the point, because like in practice

373
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: over the week, they would have a good week, they

374
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: would get a start, and they would get carries. Until

375
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: that's going to translate to Seattle. So maybe if if

376
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 1: Rawls comes back and he's not good for a week,

377
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: then we see C Mike, and then if Rawls gets

378
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: better again, then he gets to be the guy in there.

379
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to tell you this is not going to

380
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: be good for us. Now, It's not good. That's my point.

381
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 1: That's why it makes it weird about Rawls, Like it's

382
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: it's none of it is good for us. I feel

383
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: like a random preacher on the corner warning you about

384
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: the end is coming. You're gonna be the crazy sign. Guys,

385
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: just everyone when retired, everyone thought they were getting a

386
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: feature back in Rawls, and things have changed over the

387
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: offseason and now we have a committee. It's not like

388
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: we're that excited about the commitee. We're just trying to

389
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: figure it out. We're just happy for Kristen Michael. Yeah,

390
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: did you have a mediocre weekend, Marcus, Let's go to Jacksonville. Uh.

391
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: The backfield is starting to basically pan out the way

392
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy enthusiast thought it would pan out,

393
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: in terms of Chris Ivory being the between the tackles

394
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: guy t J yelled In basically being there, you know,

395
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: change of pace, third down, pass catching back. Uh. And

396
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: I think you'll see a lot more of Yelled in

397
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: between the twenties and then you know, of course, once

398
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: they get into that red zone. I think you're gonna

399
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: see a lot more of Chris Ivory. And that's basically

400
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: what we've kind of seen through two preseason games here

401
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: with Jacksonville. What do we make of that news, if

402
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: anything at all? I mean t J Yelton is great.

403
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: If you like running backs, we just fall down. Oh dang,

404
00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: Marcus doesn't like t J, then it's t he is.

405
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think he's that far from his ceiling.

406
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: I mean, I think what we saw last year is

407
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: about which you can expect from yelled At and now

408
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: that Chris Ivory is there, I guess that takes away

409
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: from that. Even what did yell didn't have last year?

410
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: Two touchdowns? I mean he might have had four, and

411
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: I think he had like a thousand total yards, right,

412
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just I don't know if it's a

413
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: balanced thing or what, but just watching his game tape,

414
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: it was appalling to me the number of times he

415
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: fell over with little to no contact. Well, he's an

416
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: upright runner, and I think we kind of knew that

417
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: coming out of college. But but you know, again, he's

418
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: pretty good out of the backfield catching the ball. Uh,

419
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 1: he'll have a role. I don't know, it's a backfield

420
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: nobody's too terribly excited about. I don't. I don't know

421
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: if anybody's investing, you know, anything other than a double

422
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: digit pick. But that's either Chris Ivory or teaching touchdown.

423
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: But this thing that both those guys are going pretty high,

424
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 1: are they. Chris Ivory on Fantasy Football Calculator is a

425
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: sixth round. That's that's an It's like a non starter price, right.

426
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to I don't want to touch either

427
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: of these guys regardless, but the sixth round is egregious

428
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: for and I think it's too high. I think yelled

429
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: in is um buying time once again. Is an eighth

430
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: round pick eight of the two I'd rather, I don't

431
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: want to touch either of them, but the two I'd

432
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: rather take. Yelled in because if Chris Ivory gets hurt,

433
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 1: which he's known to do, uh, then he steps into

434
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: a role where he assumes it's much like you know,

435
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: Charles Sims or Bilal Pale, you know, the same way,

436
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: Like he's gonna already have the passing down work pretty

437
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: much wrapped up if I ready goes downs. That goes

438
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: both ways, though, But I don't know that I'veory could

439
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: just step into the role as a pass He had

440
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: thirty catches last year, yelled in at thirty six, which

441
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: is a pretty big career outlier, and then he got

442
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: usurped by Pale at the end of the year. As

443
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 1: the past because he was all banged up. He's he's

444
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: definitely not the most durable guy. I think sixth round

445
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: is too early. Earlier in the summer, Ivory was going

446
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: in like the ninth round. I was calling him. I

447
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: had wrote a must own running backs piece a month

448
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: or two ago, and at that price, he's a must own.

449
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 1: In the ninth round, I was, I threat, I like

450
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: it right. But now he's creeping up and I don't

451
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: know the things he's overrated, the thing he's supposed to

452
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: be good at, Like he's supposed to be there their

453
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: red zone, you know, goal line back. Of running backs

454
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: that had carries inside the five, Chris Ivory led the

455
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: NFL with seventeen, and he only scored five touchdowns. D'

456
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 1: Angel Williams comparison, sixteen for ten touchdowns, Adrian Peterson fourteen

457
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: for four, Jeremy Hill thirteen for eight. You know a

458
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: lot of these guys are just more efficient on the

459
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: goal line. Chris I was just kind of overrated red

460
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: zone back. I think, uh so, I don't know that

461
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: all of those carries are end up the same. Would

462
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: have to go back and watch them closely. But I

463
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: will say, and this is a tease to a piece

464
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: that Lance zero Line is actually writing for NFL Fantasy

465
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 1: this week, looking at offensive line production and the yards

466
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,879
Speaker 1: that running backs are able to create for themselves. It

467
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: just sent me the numbers earlier. Nobody had a greater

468
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: like individual performance index, I think is what it's called. Then,

469
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory last year of the top backs, he was

470
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 1: one of the best at creating for himself. All right,

471
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: let's talk about I was just throwing that out there

472
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: as well. He is. I read this that always jumped

473
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: out at me, and so I saw he's one of

474
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: only three running backs to average four yards per carry

475
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: in every season. Since that's interesting. Alright, NFC East, Now

476
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: let's talk about the Cowboys. Uh, Ezekiel Elliott is creeping

477
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: into that first round. We're seeing him going near the

478
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,199
Speaker 1: end of the first round. How high would you take Zekiel?

479
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: Is that a good prices something like that? Yes, I

480
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: do that. In fact, I think we well, we're doing

481
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: our mock drafts on periscope that we're doing three rounds

482
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: at a time, and I took Ezekiel Elliot. I've leaving

483
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: the eighth spot with the everybody has. We're doing five

484
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: guys with two teams a piece. So my second team,

485
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: which is in the eighth slot, took Ezekiel elliot in

486
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: the first round. Yeah. I hate having picks in the

487
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: seven the seven, six, seven, eight range. Talking is hard

488
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: and even pick, but that's like where I'm kind of like,

489
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: if all right, if I'm there, if there's no wide

490
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: receiver that I like, I'll take Ezekiel elliott A right

491
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: there you go. How about Dez Bryant first first rounder? Yeah,

492
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 1: is end of the first round for me, depending you know,

493
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: depending where you know who's off the board at that point.

494
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: I would take him ninth before Yes, I would definitely.

495
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: I think Gronk is a trap as a first round pick.

496
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm not falling for that this year, a go. I

497
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: like des Brian is just kind of like, how is

498
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: the mood striking me when I'm drafting, Like, do I

499
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: really do I think he's gonna immediately jump back to

500
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: yards like twelve touchdown range? Or do I have concerns

501
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: with Tony Romo's recent injuries that des Brian is going

502
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: to suffer? Well, I mean Dak Prescott's be looking great,

503
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's the thing though, is right?

504
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: Is the fact that Dak Prescott has looked so good. Yeah,

505
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: it's still it's not so much that, but I mean,

506
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: you we already know about the chemistry between Tony Romo

507
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: and Des Bryant. And the fear, right, is that not

508
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: just des Brian because he's coming off of his own

509
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: foot injury. The fear is not just does his own

510
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: injury concerns but then also his production being tied to

511
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. Well, listen, if Tony Romo gets hurt, I

512
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: feel super confident about Dak Prescott coming in and then

513
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 1: funneling more targets. I don't yet because it is still preseason,

514
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: and preseason quarterback play is completely different than the animal that,

515
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: like a rookie would face the regular season. Matt McLeod's

516
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: the preseason hero. Sam Bradford looked like a god last year.

517
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: Let's never forget that pushed his ADP up to near

518
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: like tenor round ten or eleven last year, and I

519
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: was one of the idiots that bought into it. So

520
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: that's maybe I'm just being Maybe I'm a little recency bias,

521
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: and I still feel the burn of that one. I

522
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: don't know if this happened in the most recent Cowboys

523
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 1: preseason game, but in their first one when Prescott does

524
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: for the touchdown. Um, I think the case there was

525
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: the Cowboys left their good wide receivers in while the

526
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: opposing team had like their second or third string defense

527
00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: in just to help Dak Prescott build his confidence so

528
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: that they had an easier matchups for him to to

529
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: to throw those those balls for Daz to go get

530
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: all right, Just the offense being functional with a with

531
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: a good backup quarterback and there is important because Dez

532
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: has just never been the guy that gets the type

533
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: of volume for whatever reason that the other wide receiver

534
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: ones do. I mean, he had a hundred thirty eight

535
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 1: targets and too, I was in twelve hundred, a hundred

536
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: thirty six. He's never cracked a hundred sixties. Bit made

537
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: his living in Fantasy off being an elite red zone threat,

538
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,239
Speaker 1: and that's why his production creaters without Romo because they

539
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: just don't reach the end zone. All right, man, har

540
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: i'mon talking about Terence Williams. So gall Her and I

541
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: have been in this like weird debate about Terence Williams.

542
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: The stupidest thing. I don't, I don't. Yeah, it's stupid

543
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 1: because you're wrong. But and like I don't I don't

544
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: even think Terence Williams is good. Like I don't know

545
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: how I got to a point where I'm advocating for

546
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: Terence Williams. But he was been he was a wider receive.

547
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: He's like consistently a top forty five wide receiver in fantasy,

548
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: and Gailhard wants to crater him down to like the

549
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: wide receiver sixty range or whatever. But there's just no

550
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 1: logical reason to put him that low. If he's consistently

551
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: been a wide receiver forty like what's changed? They haven't

552
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: gotten any other any other options there to throw too.

553
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 1: I think it's a lock for him to get eight

554
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: hundred yards and six touchdowns. Have fun picking to Terence

555
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: william game here. Oh, I know, I don't want to.

556
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to draft Terence Williams fantasy outside of

557
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: best Ball leagues. But I'm telling you he's getting eight

558
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: hundred yards and and here's my answer to that, Matt Harmon,

559
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: who's an idiot. Okay, So Harmon and I are going

560
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 1: to put a beer bet on this, and at the

561
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: end of the year, it's eight hundred and six if

562
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: Tony Roman plays fourteen games games, Yeah, I settled for

563
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: fourteen because he's not gonna play sixteen I say, I say, uh,

564
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: he will not, just because I think other players not

565
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: named Terence Wims I don't know who are? How how

566
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: about Mike Wallace, Mike wa What do you mean is

567
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: he that? Yeah? I'm confused. Oh sorry, I'm i'm i'm,

568
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: i'm i'm, I'm I'm riffing leave me alone. Um what

569
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: Terence Williams and Mike Oh, Mike Wallace? I thought I

570
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: don't want to. I'm talking about in Dallas, Like, who

571
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: is going to catch passes? Other than this is just

572
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: us being selfish. And we've had this discussion at the

573
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 1: apartment and at the bar a few times. We're like, well,

574
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,119
Speaker 1: just do an official water on the podcast to do it.

575
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: But anyways, Cole Beasley, Lucky Whitehead, do they still have

576
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: Devon Street? How about some how about some scrub off

577
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: the waiver wire? Ascobar, Jason Witten right now? Seek I

578
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like Cole Beasley is the only

579
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: other receiver in that conversation. Yeah, exactly, Like none of

580
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: those guys are are potentially I don't care. Let's bucket, alrights,

581
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: six touchdowns, take it to the bank, helping no one. Well,

582
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: if you draft, like if you play, if you're still

583
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: drafting MFL ten, you can you can take him as

584
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: like a sixteenth round pick. You out to Philadelphia. The

585
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: backfield is interesting. The backfield is deep. Sigh from franchise.

586
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: I have reached the Brian Matthews and Darren sprowlser I've

587
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: reached a point where I might just be off everybody

588
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: in this offense. Ryan Matthews, I just might be. I mean,

589
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 1: he's the only one that I would give even a

590
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: cursory look at. I think he's interesting. Giving his price tag,

591
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: he's going somewhere in the right now. Yeah, I mean

592
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: it just I just at this point, I think I

593
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: would rather just stay a wave. And I was I

594
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: was looking to day sneak peak. This is gonna be

595
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: something that's gonna be on Tuesday's NFL Fantasy is um

596
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 1: offenses that you would avoid completely. And I was going

597
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: through I went through all the thirty two teams and

598
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: on thirty one of them there was at least one

599
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: guy that I was like, yeah, I really would take

600
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: a shot at this guy. And then I got to

601
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: the Eagles, it was kind of like the best I

602
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: could come up with was a yes, and so like

603
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: at that point, I think I think that proved to

604
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: me that I just don't want to fool with this

605
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: group at all. Well, as far as the backfield goes,

606
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm with you, James. I kind of like Ryan Matthews

607
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: at that round six shi six ish price because like,

608
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: if he does stay healthy, which I know isn't if

609
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: he's got a history of it, he already has an

610
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 1: ankle injury. He returned to practice though, like Doug Peterson

611
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: in his offenses, Kansas City loved funneling the ball primarily

612
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: through one back. I mean, granted that back was Jamal Charles,

613
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: not Ryan Matthews. Still, if he gives that kind of

614
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 1: treatment to Ryan Matthews, he can catch passes. He's not

615
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 1: an elite pass catcher by any stretch. I could see

616
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: him putting up solid RB two numbers while he's on

617
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: the field in that offense. I'm also starting to like

618
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: and Sprowls. He's not being drafted right now, and he's

619
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: a guy who had over a hundred thirty touches last

620
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: year when DeMarco Murray was in this offense and had

621
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: two plus touches. So with him out, if they just

622
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: pull Matthews out in passing situations or when they're running

623
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 1: the hurry up or down by a lot, which could

624
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: happen a bunch of their offense struggles to put up

625
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: points early, Sprawls could be a huge, like Danny woodhead

626
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: type flex player even in standard leagues, just because of

627
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: that weekly yardage floor he'll get because I think they'll

628
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: give him the ball between the tackles too. They just

629
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: locked him up to another extension that's you don't do

630
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: that to somebody that you're not going to give the

631
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: ball to or just you know, cast off to the wilderness. Yeah.

632
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: I mean he's thirty three years old, so I mean

633
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: obviously he's a little longer than the tooth. But that

634
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: being said, his it's not like his game is is

635
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: something where you know he's going to pound the rock

636
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: in between the towns. He had seven yards last year,

637
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: seven hundred scrimming yards and four touchdowns. But there were

638
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: so many well, first of all, DeMarco Murray was there.

639
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: Chip Kelly did not favor uh using Darren Sprowls very

640
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 1: much at all. Right, I mean, but the last two seasons.

641
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: His his two seasons in Philadelphia. I mean, he has

642
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: average just over seven hundred yards and just a handful

643
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. I think he's got He's got ten touchdowns

644
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: in the last two seasons, so there's a little bit

645
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: of upside there. I just feel like Darren Sprawls is

646
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: not a guy you're holding a roster spot for. He's

647
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: he's free, though he's coming at the area where people

648
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: are taking shots on the Landre Washington or Spencer wearing Sprawls.

649
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna have a much bigger work closs.

650
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 1: Except but I think I think, and we've talked about

651
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: this a lot, guys who are essentially in a quote

652
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: unquote free at the end of your draft, I'm certain

653
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: wonder whether or not you even spend a draft pick

654
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: on those guys. You pick those guys up off the

655
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: waiver wire, because again I don't know, but I don't

656
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: know that the production for Darren Sprawls warrants me holding

657
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: a roster spot for him for more than a couple

658
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: of weeks. I pick him up when somebody's hurt or

659
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 1: if I got a buy a week or something like that.

660
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,600
Speaker 1: I think what you're really pointing at those more of

661
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: like you don't believe in the upside, I think enough,

662
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: because not enough, you'll take it. You'll take a flyer

663
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: and a guy who is in the round if you

664
00:31:56,560 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: think his upside is tremendous, like if you love Kenneth Dixon,

665
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: right Like, if you think Kenneth Dixon is the guy

666
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: in this backfield, maybe it takes some five six weeks

667
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: to develop you hold on to. I also think the

668
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: corollary to that, though, is that when we talk about upside,

669
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: it's guys that we don't a hundred percent and know

670
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: what they offer. We're optimistic about what it could be.

671
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: And for as much as I like Darren Sprowls as

672
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: a player, dudes fun to watch. If I was in

673
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: a point per steps taking league, he'd be my number

674
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: one pick. That dude's got the shortest, chappiest steps if

675
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: anybody've ever seen um. But we also at this point

676
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: know who Darren Sprowls is, and so the upside isn't

677
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: quite there because we've I think this point, seen the

678
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 1: best of darrens by the way. You know, we've talked

679
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: about Wendell Smallwood in that backfield too. You know, again,

680
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: just having seen enough tape on that guy, I just

681
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: don't get it. I don't really, I don't understand the

682
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: love affair. You know. I think he's totally a capable,

683
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: you know, running back and that's fine. I just think

684
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: he's fine. I don't really, I don't see a lot

685
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: of we talked about up so I just don't see

686
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: a lot of upside with Wendel Smallwood. But you know,

687
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 1: going look, going back to Duck Peterson. Yeah, he was

688
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: in Kansas City, but he's been with Andy Reid, and

689
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 1: Andy Reid has obviously developed a lot of talent at

690
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: the running back position. Man. I'll tell you, I'm kind

691
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: of I'm kind of excited about what Ryan Matthews might

692
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: do in this offense. And again you talk about that,

693
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, round six price, I think we've already kind

694
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: of priced in the fact that he's probably gonna miss

695
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: some games. No, because I mean, he is a featured guy.

696
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: Uh in this Eagles off There's not that many featured

697
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: backs in this league, and we're taking them in round six.

698
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 1: It's because we're already anticipating him missing you know, two

699
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: or three games. I think, all right, let's go to

700
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: New York we gotta talk about this passing game. Oh sorry,

701
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: George Matthews. Yeah, well, no, I mean we should mention

702
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: it that if you look at the rundown curtain here, open,

703
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: open the kimono, peek around the corner. I said, is

704
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:54,400
Speaker 1: this sonst untouchable passing game and fantasy? Ah m hmmm,

705
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, there's Baltimore still hanging around there.

706
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: I would target biggerly, got to take a shot at

707
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: Ben Watson. You're not taking a quarterback off the Eagles,

708
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Um. But yeah, I mean Jordan Matthews

709
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: is certainly going to be the first name off the

710
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: board in terms of the passing game. Uh, DGB is

711
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: there again. I know a lot of folks are getting

712
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: excited about DJB there because he fits a role, but

713
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, he We're a month out from

714
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 1: the season and he's learning a brand new playbook again. Again.

715
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm I'm off a d GB this year.

716
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: I don't see him making an impact. I still kind

717
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: of like Nelson Aglare as a player, but not enough

718
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: in this offense to spend a draft pick on him

719
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: when they just when they clearly when they clearly don't

720
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: believe in him. I mean, if they believe in him,

721
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: they wouldn't. Yeah, there hasn't been a lot of great

722
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: press about him recently too, because they were saying he's

723
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: gonna I think it was one of the beat reporters,

724
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: like he's gonna start just by default. He has not

725
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: wowed in Camper and he's not done a lot to

726
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: open up. So that's that's disappointing. But that's what I mean, like,

727
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: are you going to take a shot at zach Ertz?

728
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: Like even zach Ertz scares me because Brent Selik is

729
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,399
Speaker 1: still there and zach Ertz is never in his career

730
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: ever been a prolific touchdown score. And he's not a

731
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: guy that consistently catches a lot of passes either. So

732
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: I asked him, I ask again, is this the most

733
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: untouchable passing game and fantasy? It might be if if

734
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: if the team's wide receiver one is going in like

735
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 1: the eighth round, then yeah, probably Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah,

736
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: I guess you're right. Yeah, that's all their pass catchers

737
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: not too great. And then Jordan Matthews is kind of

738
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: it is just a big slot guy. Well, and he's

739
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: he's coming back from it like a bone bruise in

740
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: his name right now. And the slot guy had never

741
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 1: been a big part of the Doug Peterson Andy Reid

742
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: offenses before, so it's it's even a wonder if he's

743
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: going to have the same kind of volume he had

744
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: in the past years where they focused on him, Like

745
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: will the offense shift and focus on him or will

746
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 1: it go with Doug Peterson's philosophy. I don't know. That's

747
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: why I'm scared. All right, Let's go to New York.

748
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: Rasha Jennings is supposedly are you listen to the running

749
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: back coaches, you listen to the head coaches there, you

750
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: start reading the press clippings, Rashad Jennings is supposed to

751
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 1: be the guy, uh there for New York at least

752
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: early on, and then you know they're gonna try to

753
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: work in guys like Shane Vereen, the runnings back. The

754
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: running back coach made it very clear that the three

755
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 1: headed attack that they had last year, four fourheaded attack

756
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: they had last year was not effective. Uh yeah, thanks

757
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: thanks for that now. Yeah. Ralphieo from the New York

758
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: Daily News at the time reported it's clear from talking

759
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: to the running back coach. Literally, it's clear that that

760
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna scrap that four way committee and that Richard

761
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: Jennings isn't number one back. Is he going to be

762
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: the goal line back though, because now there's talk of

763
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 1: uh Williams being the clear number two, which is just outrageous.

764
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: He did get I mean, Jennings punched in a carry

765
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,239
Speaker 1: at the goal line in the first preseason game. I

766
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: have a hard time imagining that they're really going to

767
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: take Jennings off the field for Williams, especially because it

768
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: was so effective when they didn't do that last year

769
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: when they finally ditched that committee last four weeks. The

770
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: last four weeks, they gave Jennings twenty one point five

771
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 1: touches per game, and he was the running back three

772
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: overall and fantasy during that stretch, I mean running back three.

773
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: And that just again like Jennings is a solid player,

774
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: but attached to such a prolific passing offense, you can't

775
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 1: can't pass up a running back like that. It's so

776
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:14,280
Speaker 1: funny right now too, because the perception of Jennings is awful.

777
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: Like I tweeted like a month ago, I was like

778
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 1: this guy's a great, great pick in the round ten

779
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: or whatever, and my mentions were like gross, like committee,

780
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: he's trash or whatever. So in in casual leagues, you

781
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,360
Speaker 1: can even wait probably a little longer on Jennings and

782
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 1: scoop up a huge value and the RB thirty five

783
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:31,759
Speaker 1: right now. I remember jumping on late in the year

784
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: when it when the Giants finally came to their senses

785
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: and decided to go with him as their primary back.

786
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,800
Speaker 1: And I think that continues this year. Um, the concerns

787
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: for Jennings and he's a guy who has had a

788
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: jury issues, he's gonna he's not and he is running

789
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: behind a line that's not a great run blocking unit,

790
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: So that's something to be worried about. But if you're

791
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 1: if you're talking about Jennings as your third or fourth

792
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: running back, then where he's coming off the board, you're

793
00:37:57,719 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: gonna get good value. I think you're gonna get production

794
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: early part of the season. Again, it's almost impossible to

795
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: assume that he's going to play a full six team

796
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: because actually I don't know if he's ever done it.

797
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: Has he ever done has? I think last year might

798
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: have been the first time he did it well no, No,

799
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: he missed games last year and he I mean he

800
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: also spent a large part of his career as a backup,

801
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: which is part of it. You know, I would say,

802
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: you know, when he's played and gotten the rock, he's

803
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: been good. You talk about you talk about him. Actually

804
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 1: he did play place sixty because he saw such little work, right.

805
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about production early in this season.

806
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: I think I think you also get good production from

807
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: him late in the year because playing there at the

808
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:43,240
Speaker 1: meadow Lands, it's notorious in November December for these swirling

809
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,759
Speaker 1: winds and being super cold and making it a little

810
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: more difficult to throw the football. Not that they won't

811
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: obviously with Eli and O'Dell Beckham, but there may be

812
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity for them to try and control games on

813
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: the ground, which could bode well for Jennings. Like if

814
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: you drafted zero RB team, I think Jennings is a

815
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: must get of the reasons that Marcus just outlined and

816
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: and James outlined, because of the touches that you're going

817
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 1: to get at the beginning of the season, Like if

818
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: you after the seventh round and he's currently a seventh

819
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: round pick on Fantasy Football Calculator, but I took him

820
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: in the eighth round of art mock draft today. Um,

821
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 1: he has galhar set in, casual leaks, He's got all

822
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: the black marks against him. You know, if you can

823
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 1: lock in fifteen plus touches per game, which seems like

824
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: a pretty good bet for Jennings at the early part

825
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 1: of the season for a zero RB team, that's a

826
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: huge win. It's not bad Sterling Shepherd. We've heard so

827
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: many good stories about Sterling Shepherd training camp, We've seen him,

828
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: you know, preseason games and all that. And then of

829
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: course Victor Cruz still struggling to get back onto the

830
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: practice field and play some football. So what do we

831
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: project for for a guy like Sterling Shepherd. Harmon, this

832
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: is your boy. Yeah, I've been on I've been on

833
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd pretty much since like November, before the college

834
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: football season ended. I started charting. I think you came

835
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: to me with a smart when you came home from

836
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: work on Saturday, Like, I think I found my guy

837
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, Sterling Effort from Oklahoma. Of course he

838
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: became like everybody's guy because which is just a good time,

839
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: because he's that good. Um, Yeah, Shepherd was one of

840
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: the stars of perception perception. Amongst the chartered rookies, he

841
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,919
Speaker 1: had the eighty two point eight percent success rate versus

842
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,800
Speaker 1: man coverage best in the class, one point one success

843
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: rate versus press coverage best in the class. I mean,

844
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: he's a guy that gets open consistently on short to

845
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: intermediate timing based routes, which is what Ben McAdoo and

846
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,799
Speaker 1: that West Coast offense really wants to run. So, I mean,

847
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: it really was one of those picks that you're like, yeah,

848
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: that makes a ton of sense when it happened. Yeah,

849
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 1: and and there's as as you were saying, Victor Cruz,

850
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: it's to quote a James co article, he hasn't played

851
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: since Nebuary. Yeah, I was one of the best. And

852
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I feel bad for for for

853
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz, but at this point, I think we need

854
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: to believe Lady to see it before we believe it's

855
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 1: ever going to get back on the field in any

856
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: sort of capacity that he used to be. And Shepherd's

857
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: gonna step into that number two role. I mean, that

858
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: has been the consistent drumbeat throughout the entire off season.

859
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: So you know, if you can lock into a hundred targets,

860
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: which I think is a given pretty much with the

861
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 1: way things are right now, even if the guys are rookie,

862
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: that's a great value. In the eighth they don't throw

863
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: the tight end. No, They and the way have will Ty,

864
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: who is an intriguing sleeper for what he did as

865
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: an undrafted free agent last year and athletic guy out

866
00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: of Stony Brook. But other than that, they don't have

867
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: any really intriguing names at the number three receiver position,

868
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: and Rogac count Victor Cruz. The tight ends our question mark.

869
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,240
Speaker 1: Shane Green's gonna command a small amount of the passing targets,

870
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: but I mean, Shepherd is the guy there. He's the

871
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: number two and and this is an offense that is

872
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: going to be a top ten passing attempts team. And

873
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: then you look at the division as well. Uh yeah, again,

874
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 1: pretty soft schedule, I would imagine for all those guys,

875
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers, running backs, everything right, which is probably why

876
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 1: James you think, I think this was your hot take

877
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: for the week. But Eli Manning top five QB huh,

878
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: Because here's the thing. He was the top ten quarterback

879
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: last year, right, he had yards and thirty five touchdowns.

880
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: He had the best quarterback rating of his career last year,

881
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: year number two under Ben McAdoo. What does it mean

882
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: year number three under Ben McAdoo. If he can get

883
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: to forty five hundred yards and let's say he pushes

884
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,399
Speaker 1: forty touchdown, let's say he gets a thirty eight thirty nine,

885
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: that's not a stretch at all. That's not a stretch

886
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: at all. Ben McAdoo is gonna play much faster than

887
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: what we saw under Tom coughlin. Um And we talk

888
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 1: about all the time with Chip Kelly that hey, he

889
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 1: runs a lot of plays. I wouldn't be surprised in

890
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: this McAdoo offense if they run a lot more plays

891
00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 1: than what we saw last year. I don't thinkety yards

892
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: and forty touchdowns is is out of the question at all.

893
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: If he gets there and forty last year would have

894
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: pushed him close to QB number three. What's funny about

895
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: and when you get to this area, like obviously the

896
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: top it's always a little tilted for the quarterbacks never

897
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 1: finishes number one, but the rest of the top ten range.

898
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: Twenty points separated Eli Manning from being a top five

899
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: quarterback last year. So you take out a couple interceptions

900
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: are on a few more touchdowns, boom, it could happen.

901
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: And obviously the problem with Eli is that, you know,

902
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: sometimes he'll give you one of those six touchdown, seven

903
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: touchdown games was of the Saints. But then he'll give you,

904
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: you know, a one or no touchdown, three interception type

905
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 1: game that absolutely kills your week. But I think we're

906
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 1: gonna see a lot less of those, uh inten, I

907
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see a lot more consistent production with

908
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: some pretty good upside as well. I'm really digging Eli Manning,

909
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,560
Speaker 1: especially given his price tag, which is, you know, in

910
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues approaching double digits. So you know,

911
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: I'll buy all day on Eli Manning. All right, move

912
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: to Washington. Let's talk about Matt Jones. He's gonna be

913
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 1: missing the rest of the preseason with an a C

914
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: joint injury. That's your shoulder for those folks who are

915
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: not yeah, you know Matt Jones. A lot of folks,

916
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: uh saw some burst in athleticism from Matt Jones last year.

917
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: Uh they got rid of Alfred Morris did Washington, so

918
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,280
Speaker 1: a lot of folks thought, well, hey, he's just walking

919
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: in uh to an every down role. But I mean,

920
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: you know so much. What would have been great is

921
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: if Washington maybe had drafted a couple of years ago

922
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: kind of an unsung running back who challenged for Rookie

923
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: of the Year honors, was really quality running back and

924
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: an upstanding guy. I gott you could get the ball

925
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:13,640
Speaker 1: to all the time. I mean, they really could have

926
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 1: used one of those. It's too bad that they just don't.

927
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: Never had that on their roster. You know what I

928
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: tweeted out this weekend when Alfred Morris was looking so

929
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: good on the Cowboys. You know, I was like, man,

930
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: if any team in the NFL needs a starting running back,

931
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: how is your first call not to Dallas to get

932
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: Alfred Morris? And by far the most to suggested teams, like, well, Washington,

933
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: give us a guy like that. I know, Greg, I

934
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: think it was Greg and there around the NFL right

935
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,320
Speaker 1: up made that joke to like, I wonder if Washington

936
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: took it. But the trouble with Matt Jones, Like you said, James,

937
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 1: the a C joint is a shoulder injury, and that

938
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: scares the heck out of me for in fact, because

939
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 1: like this can be I mean, it's it's an important

940
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: part of running backs for absorbing contact obviously, and this

941
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: is an injury that Randall Cobb had the same one

942
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: last year, reagg evaded it when he got taken to

943
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: the ground in Week three and was just kind of

944
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: never the same guy afterwards, because it's such an important

945
00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,440
Speaker 1: part for a football player to have that healthy shoulder,

946
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,760
Speaker 1: and that Jones being a bigger guy, that's like running

947
00:45:10,760 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: between the tackles taking a lot of contact. That scares

948
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 1: the heck out of me. So, I mean, Matt Jones

949
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: filled to what the eleventh round in our mock draft today.

950
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: That might have been a bit of an overreaction, but

951
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 1: we don't know for sure that he's gonna play in

952
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,239
Speaker 1: Week one now. So it makes Chris Thompson and Keith

953
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: Marshall a heck of a lot more interesting if you're

954
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: drafting in the first couple of weeks. In the next

955
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, we know Chris Stomps is gonna be

956
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: great as a pass catching back. He he actually made

957
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: a big time impact last year even a PPR format,

958
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 1: uh in the limited time that in the limited snaps

959
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: that he was given, I think he'll still see that

960
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 1: kind of workload and that kind of production. We don't

961
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: know who the backup is though. Keith Marshall was supposed

962
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,240
Speaker 1: to be that guy, then he got relegated to third string.

963
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: Some dude named I think Adam Rank made the job.

964
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 1: R Kelly's in there. I believe I can fly. I don't.

965
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is he trapped in a closet. Maybe

966
00:45:58,120 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what here never heard of any of

967
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: these guys. He's out of two lane, the Rob Kelly character,

968
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 1: but I don't There's not really a great running back

969
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: situation there in Washington either, So I don't know. I

970
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: feel like every single time, indeed, every time I look

971
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: at Matt Jones name um on my on my mock drafts, man,

972
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 1: I passed every single I can't get into it. I'm

973
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,480
Speaker 1: on Chris Thompson, though, is a late round pick an

974
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: the guy that's essentially free. Warren Sharp from Sharp Football Analysis,

975
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: one of the best team called it passing play on

976
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 1: their snaps one behind in the second half last year,

977
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:38,360
Speaker 1: And I mean that is going to pretty much be

978
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: all Thompson's work. Uh, you know, it's not crazy to

979
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: think that he could post RB two value in PPR leagues.

980
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: I mean, look at what theoretic did last year, and

981
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: it's a very similar situation. Yeah, alright, what about the

982
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers? Do Sean Jackson's there? Pierre Garson, Dockson recovering

983
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: from his injury. Pierre Garson is a little underrated right

984
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:58,400
Speaker 1: now in this offense. I think so, especially with well,

985
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 1: especially with the news I saw this morning that Josh

986
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: Dockson might start the season on the pub. Well, and

987
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: you Pierre Garson in our mock draft today, but he

988
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:14,360
Speaker 1: very quietly had a decent season and a passing attack

989
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: that was kind of puttinghimself together. He had a hundred

990
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: eleven targets. Still last year seventy two catches granted only

991
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: turned into seven seventy seven yards. But if Kirk Cousins

992
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 1: is there and they have that explosive element into Shaan

993
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 1: Jackson which was missing for so long from this passing offense,

994
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,480
Speaker 1: I think Pierre Garston is a fine late round guy

995
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: to target to round out a wide receiving corps. I mean,

996
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 1: but I think, I mean, but I think what you're

997
00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: talking about with Pierre Garson is at least when you

998
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: look at the overall numbers, is going to be similar

999
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: to what Harmon was talking about with Terrence Williams, where

1000
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: you're looking at a guy who's around eight hundred and

1001
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,319
Speaker 1: maybe six touchdowns. I mean, you know, we all look

1002
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: at that season he had when he had thirteen yards,

1003
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 1: had a hundred and thirteen catches, was just a monster.

1004
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 1: That's the outlier. That is the outlier. I think it's

1005
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,760
Speaker 1: he's more of a guy who's about a hundred yards

1006
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: in in you know, five six maybe seven touchdowns at

1007
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 1: the most, which is fine for a late a late

1008
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: round guy. But I think that's I don't know that

1009
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 1: you can expect much more than that. Where is Deshan

1010
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 1: Jackson going in mock drafts right now? Because I tell

1011
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,320
Speaker 1: you what, he's basically in a contract to year situation.

1012
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: They both are, and tell me Deshan Jackson is not

1013
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 1: going to be motivated and a motivated to Shawn sign

1014
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: me up wide receiver thirty nine eight point oh seven

1015
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: and twelve sign me. I just want to read the

1016
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson quotes because I'm just sure they're going to

1017
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: be fantastic. D Jackson is the guy I'd rather own

1018
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: out of those d d Jackson are Jordan Reid. But

1019
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying like, let's not bury poor Pierre Garson

1020
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: because if this passing offense with Kirk Cousins there in

1021
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 1: all his weapons, and especially if there's no running game

1022
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: with Matt Jones or whomever else behind you know, behind him,

1023
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: they could throw it a lot and that would lift

1024
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: all the boats in the passing offense. All right, there

1025
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: you go. Jordan Reid is going super high. I think

1026
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,960
Speaker 1: at last check, he's uh the second tight end off

1027
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 1: the board right now after gronk Um. And just to me, man,

1028
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: I don't know, Man, it just seems crazy. I see.

1029
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm on Jordan read now. Like officially, I think

1030
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: he's gonna become a pretty central part of my draft plans.

1031
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: At four point oh four in twelve team leagues. I

1032
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:16,279
Speaker 1: thought you were just telling me you hate taking tight

1033
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: end that I normally do. I well, I hate taking

1034
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:20,399
Speaker 1: tight ends like Greg Olsen, you know what I'm saying,

1035
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: Like in the fifth round, Like, yeah, I could see

1036
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: Greg Olson stand to lose a pretty good amount of

1037
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: targets this year just because the Carolina offense is not

1038
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: a pass set. But that's except for discussion. I'm not

1039
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,920
Speaker 1: gonna go down that road. Um So Jordan Reid. Focus

1040
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: focus focus focus. Uh So, Jordan Read, I took him

1041
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: in the fifth round of our mock draft today, And

1042
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 1: I think it's because, for one, when you get into

1043
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: that fifth round range, or even in the mid fourth,

1044
00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,240
Speaker 1: I don't find like a lot of really appealing options,

1045
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: especially like I want to get Dante Moncrief in one

1046
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: of those two rounds. But other than that, there isn't

1047
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: like a many guys that I'm really excited about other

1048
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 1: than you know, like the Moncreas and the John Browns.

1049
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: But Jordan Read, I think really helps you build. Like

1050
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: the key thing about building a zero running back team

1051
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: is not just or even just a wide receiper heavy team.

1052
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:05,919
Speaker 1: Is not just that you're hammering wide receivers. You also

1053
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 1: have to get like that unfair advantage of tight end too.

1054
00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: And Jordan Read was that last year he was only

1055
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 1: one point off per game scoring from Gronk. So I mean,

1056
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 1: if you're getting Gronk in the fourth round that fifth

1057
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,400
Speaker 1: their first round price, like, sign me up for that

1058
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 1: all day too. Sorry to jump you, franchise, but I

1059
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: was looking at Read in that round two in our

1060
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,959
Speaker 1: mock and you took him because with so many people

1061
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: leaning a little wide receiver earlier, Like once you get

1062
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,879
Speaker 1: to the fifth round, the options are uninspiring the fourth round,

1063
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: and especially if guys like mon Creef and the Cardinals

1064
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: wide receivers and you know, Randall Cobb and stuff are gone.

1065
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,919
Speaker 1: If Jordan Reid's sitting there, that's a really enticing option there.

1066
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'd be scared to draft him any

1067
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 1: higher than that. But as soon as I enter round four,

1068
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: Jordan Read is on speed dial. If if my roster

1069
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 1: is looking the right way injury history that concerned. Yeah,

1070
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, if you take Jordan Read there,

1071
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: you got to back him up later with someone else.

1072
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,160
Speaker 1: Just get Jared Cook like I did. Yeah, there's so

1073
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,719
Speaker 1: much there's so many other tight ends you can grab later.

1074
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: They won't they won't return the kind of production that

1075
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 1: Reid will give you. But someone you can plug in

1076
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,600
Speaker 1: if he misses a few games or whatever it is.

1077
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm actually surprised to hear that again from Harmon. You're

1078
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: saying that you, you know, took another tight end. That's

1079
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: another thing that you that you've always been hammering folks on.

1080
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:20,399
Speaker 1: Don't take that second tight end. I know, I feel well,

1081
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm really, I'm really, I'm an idiot, and I'm really

1082
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:26,280
Speaker 1: buying into the Jared Cook thing this time. I'm starting

1083
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: to buy. Hey, by the way, who do you live with? Well,

1084
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean Homer Boy, Noted Packer, Hank, Alex Gelhard. But

1085
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: it's not even like out of Baby. But it's not

1086
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: even just him. Like I was listening to the Living

1087
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: Stream podcast against Danny Carter, who's like the number one

1088
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:41,360
Speaker 1: Jared Cook truther, and he, you know, he's able to

1089
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: be paint a pretty reliable scenario that you can actually

1090
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 1: see happening where Jared Cook is the top ten tight

1091
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: end because you know, we keep talking about who's gonna

1092
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: be the green baby with three wrongs here, who's gonna

1093
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: be the green baby number three? Wide Jared Cook? It

1094
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: might be just be Jared Cook. Yeah. By the way,

1095
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: you can't be a good truth or without being able

1096
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 1: to paint a solid picture of your guy. Hey, that's

1097
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 1: what it's all about. Man's Kirk Cousins going in those

1098
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: double ditch rounds. I love the way his his schedule

1099
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:07,879
Speaker 1: plays out in the at least in the first six

1100
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: weeks of the season. They have very soft schedule. Uh,

1101
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: do the Washington Redskins if you're taking Kirk Cousins in

1102
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:16,960
Speaker 1: round twelfth thirteen, all day long, all day long, all day.

1103
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 1: Let's do the FAMI League update, shall we. Let's do

1104
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,240
Speaker 1: it just down to you into danger. Yeah, so's Dangel's

00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: is Dominic Smith at d Smith Future and and the

1107
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 1: reason is very sim in the league. We got Sierra

1108
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: coming in next. NOQ chains is on deck. No uh,

1109
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:41,320
Speaker 1: Dominic Smith. It's very very simple. He says he is

1110
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 1: going he's got a kid on the way. I think

1111
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 1: on Friday or next Friday. He said he's going to

1112
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: name his kid. Get this Caden Fantasy Live Smith. What

1113
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: I love it? Come on, I feel like this was

1114
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: come on crazy. Wasn't this a subplot on the League

1115
00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: one season? Yeah? Batmanlup, come on, this guy's gotta get

1116
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: in the league. All right. It's a dangerous name. Put

1117
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: him in the Dangers out And he also left a review.

1118
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:17,880
Speaker 1: You could do that as well. I'm wondering did he

1119
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: consult with his wife. I don't know. He said he's

1120
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:23,800
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna send me a pick of his kids

1121
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:27,719
Speaker 1: birth certificate, dude, and it's gonna say it's supposedly gonna

1122
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: say Cayden Fantasy Live Smith, because I feel like I

1123
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: feel like this is uh, this is one that seemed

1124
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: to be hard to get past this. I mean, it

1125
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: could just be a case where like honey, I got

1126
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: the birth certificate, Like yeah, okay, well we'll put that

1127
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 1: in there and just what happen? What happened to Alright?

1128
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 1: How about clerical air? Whoops? How about Shannon Smith? At

1129
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: that's my pencil, um, Shannon Smith. I don't know if

1130
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: it's a guy or girl, but Shannon Smith sketched pencil

1131
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: sketched an awesome picture of the Fantasy Live podcast. Uh,

1132
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: it is my profile background page, Marcus Grant Twitter, it's

1133
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 1: your Twitter avatar. It was TREMANDU. It was incredible. I

1134
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:11,960
Speaker 1: woke up this morning to see that on Twitter and

1135
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: it was retweeted it immediately. It was really good. I

1136
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: was like, what it was very accurately made my head

1137
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 1: look as big as it is in real life, so

1138
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:22,400
Speaker 1: that it was pretty accurate. How accurate they were. She

1139
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: correctly gave me no mustache hair to sorry, or she

1140
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,520
Speaker 1: gave me no mustache hair to be seen by the

1141
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: naked eye. I've also noted that me and Matt Harmon

1142
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: are the only ones not wearing suits, right because there

1143
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: is a Twitter avatar picture and I believe Shannon is

1144
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 1: a guy. I'm sorry, no, I mean that's not that.

1145
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: That's not the avatar that was there this morning. Well

1146
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: that's the avatar that alright, well, all right, well we

1147
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: didn't know, Shannon. I feel you're paying with the androgynist name.

1148
00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 1: Lots of times Alex can get spun the other way.

1149
00:54:57,120 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to the danger zone, pal, all right. And the

1150
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,840
Speaker 1: last one is Brian Gorelick at Gorelick. This guy the

1151
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,719
Speaker 1: only reason he's in. He is so thirsty to be

1152
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:09,400
Speaker 1: in this league. He's so thirsty strong with this one.

1153
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: It's it's ridiculous how thirsty he is to be in

1154
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 1: this league. So you know what, Uh he had a

1155
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,120
Speaker 1: pretty good Uh he had a pretty good review as well.

1156
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:19,560
Speaker 1: Would it's say a great listen to blah blah blah

1157
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 1: blah blah. I hit them on, I bothered them on

1158
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:25,640
Speaker 1: Twitter every single day he does that. He does. Only

1159
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,439
Speaker 1: negative is having to lower my radio every single time.

1160
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: James Co laughs. Also true, I'm not gonna lie trying

1161
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: to get into their fantasy league. Blah bah blah blah blah.

1162
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: Um you know what, it was good, Uh, it was

1163
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: a good review. But man, that dude is rawless on Twitter.

1164
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,600
Speaker 1: He's so thirsty to be in this league. Is on

1165
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 1: real So you know what, you're in the league. You're

1166
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: in the league. Let's do daily DAP to get at

1167
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,320
Speaker 1: just to quit her update. You've got three more people

1168
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 1: to enter. So right now there's a little bit of confusion.

1169
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 1: Is because Adam Rank being the fantasy maverick that he is. Oh,

1170
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,040
Speaker 1: did he just go and pull people in on his own?

1171
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: He may have, He's not sure. I will say this,

1172
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,640
Speaker 1: so I added three. There's gonna be at least one

1173
00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: more spot on Friday's pot on Friday's podcast, so it

1174
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,720
Speaker 1: will either be there's either one or maybe two spots

1175
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 1: still up for grabs and to to be considered for

1176
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 1: the Danger Zone League. It's a sixteen team league. All

1177
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: you gotta do is subscribe, rate, and review the NFL

1178
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live Pot, and I will say, probably to help

1179
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 1: yourself out, tweet a picture to James since he's picking

1180
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: this final one, and now be you know'll be different

1181
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: don't don't barrage him with with tweets like Gorelic did,

1182
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: don't draw a picture like Shannon did. Stand out like

1183
00:56:48,360 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: this is gonna at least potentially the last entry to

1184
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 1: the danger Zone League. Yeah, stand out for the Other

1185
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: thing I like to is that Matt Harmon is like

1186
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,280
Speaker 1: throwing guys my way and it's like, yeah, you should

1187
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: add this guy, you should have this. I'm I'm for

1188
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: our league is full. I'm out of power, and I

1189
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: feel like I feel I told you last podcast, I

1190
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 1: feel terrible for all these people that do cool stuff

1191
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: and can't get it. I don't feel bad for the

1192
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 1: people that just review it and then you know, just

1193
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 1: do the baseline talking about all these overachievers. It is.

1194
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: It's tough though, Like and just the thanks again to

1195
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: all the listeners, because like I was hoping we'd get

1196
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: some good responses, but the amount of responses overwhelming, like

1197
00:57:25,600 --> 00:57:27,840
Speaker 1: the good bad, they're they're funny, like we read I

1198
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:29,440
Speaker 1: think we read all of them because I know I

1199
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 1: spent way too much time that we're reading these um

1200
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: but they were they were tremendous. Really, like thanks, thanks

Speaker 1: a lot everybody for listening to describing your why we

1202

Speaker 1: do this and hopefully next year we'll get we'll get

1203
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: more people into the league. So the last thing I

1204
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: want to say about the reviews is that, you know what,

1205
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the reviewers have really hit our podcast

1206
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: spot on, and basically it's a look if you it's

1207
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: not your hardcore stats uh type of breakdown if you

1208
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: want that, if you want the angry East Coast you

Speaker 1: with chill on the beach, drink a bunch of beers.

1212
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that was my favorite. That's the podcast.

1213
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: Some people like it's like I'm hanging out drinking beers

1214
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: with my friends talking football, and like that's the podcast.

1215
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we're just not drinking beer in the studio.

1216
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: But that but a lot of listeners picked up on

1217
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 1: that and I thought it was spot on. So great.

1218
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's do what you guys, aren't drinking beers,

1219
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: franchise shop. You don't know what's in this coffee people,

1220
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: the people that listen to this, you don't know what

1221
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: and get at here depth. All right, Daily DAP time.

1222
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna start with MG, my gut, Marcus Grant, what's

1223
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 1: going on trying to think Daily Death? Well, one, I

1224
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 1: do want a Daily death. Football back in Los Angeles,

1225
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: had a chance to go to the Colosseum on Saturday

1226
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: for Chiefs and Rams in the preseason, and and look,

1227
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: I have been to the Colosseum more times than I

1228
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: can count for USC football. Now, mind you, I actually

1229
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 1: was a freshman at USC for the last year of

1230
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: the Raiders. But I remember looking out my freshman during

1231
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: window and seeing the guys in the black hole who

1232
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: would park on campus and walk over to the stadium,

1233
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm I'm not going out there. So

1234
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: I never actually went to a pro game in Los Angeles,

1235
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:24,640
Speaker 1: So to go to to the l A Colosseum look, honestly,

1236
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: understanding the history there and everything, but it was weird

1237
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: to be there and watch a professional football game. There's

1238
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: no band, there's no like it's not it's not the

1239
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 1: same kind of atmosphere um, But it was wild and

1240
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. And so Daily adapts

1241
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: to that and a quick uh you know, because I'm

1242
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 1: on this comic book kick right now and I'm overloaded

1243
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 1: with them paper girls which is a new one written

1244
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 1: by Brian Kavon, the same guy who writes Saga. I

1245
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: just read the first volume of it. It just came

1246
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 1: out not long ago. Very very interesting. Um. The only

1247
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 1: way I can really describe it is it's sort of

1248
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: stranger things in comic book form with four girls instead

1249
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: of four are boys. But first volume was really entertaining,

1250
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 1: so I look forward to seeing how this story. Frank

1251
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Kavon also wrote Why the Last Man, which is not

1252
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: a good series, and trying to work my way through.

1253
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: But basically when it comes to writing comics, he good.

1254
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 1: He's good. MG my uh franchise. What's up? Yeah? Alright?

1255
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: So I got a daily DAPs today for a uh

1256
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 1: hashtag pal that I met back in the day when

1258

01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 1: gave me chills the first time I heard it. He's

1269
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: got a really cool, unique, soulful voice, just a man

1270
01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: and his acoustic guitar. He's really great to see live.

1271
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 1: He's touring this fall. Um checking out amous Lee on

1272
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: iTunes and if you want to go catch a show,

1273
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 1: his dates are online. So Amously, what up, buddy, there

1274
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: you go. N this checked all the requisite boxes from

1275
01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 1: my pal Humble broke that guy, But I mean I

1276
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: was struggling for adapt and Namously, you just fell into

1277
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,439
Speaker 1: my lap. There you go, wiskid uh So, First off,

1278
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,960
Speaker 1: anti depth to all the people that somehow think I

1279
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: would just die in the wilderness based on our top

1280
01:01:36,840 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: bring up here it is. I knew I wasn't gonna

1281
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: win the pole because Harmon has far and away the

1282
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:47,760
Speaker 1: most ardent supporters on Twitter. It was rigged. But my god,

1283
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 1: the reasonings people put for for me dying or Harmon surviving,

1284
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:55,480
Speaker 1: We're just I think you just need to look at

1285
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: the numbers of the votes went to this guy and

1286
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,919
Speaker 1: what what? What precent to the most did you get? Again?

1287
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:08,680
Speaker 1: I finished with what who market? And market came last, right,

1288
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 1: which in all, honestly, I really feel like Yahar would

1289
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: be the one to survive the longest for the wilderness.

1290
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,480
Speaker 1: I like how Charlie was used both as a positive

1291
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: and a negative. Well, I mean to be honest with you,

1292
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:24,800
Speaker 1: I when I asked Charlie about the whole situation, I

1293
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: ever think would be like actually sneezed when I said, like, hey,

1294
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 1: do you think you could help me surviving the wilderness?

1295
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: Like it worked out perfectly. He accidentally made that, So

1296
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: that was the first anti DAPT, but then the other

1297
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: DAP was too, And then this is this is gonna

1298
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:39,560
Speaker 1: is gonna go against the stream of what I just

1299
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: said with me saying I live longer, longer in the wilderness.

1300
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,160
Speaker 1: But I want to give a daily dept to meditation

1301
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: because here's why I took a class on it in college.

1302
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Like it was like a one credit throwery classes, Like

1303
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: I'll go sitting quiet for an hour and get a

1304
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 1: credit for it. Like that's fine. I actually really like

1305
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: liked it, and I think there is credence to the

1306
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: practice and and the like physiological effects that it has

1307
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: in your brain and thing are. I was at the

1308
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,080
Speaker 1: barbershop waiting to get in the other week and I

1309
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: was reading the article about about meditation again. So why

1310
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm dapping it today is because I just said to

1311
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: these guys earlier. I was like, I was like, man,

1312
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: I like, I feel like I might be getting sick

1313
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:12,080
Speaker 1: right now. I just feel kind of out of it.

1314
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:15,160
Speaker 1: And I was like, I haven't left this g D

1315
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: building all day and I've been staring out in my

1316
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 1: computer grinding. So I honest to God, when I like

1317
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,400
Speaker 1: stepped away for a few minutes, I went out. I

1318
01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 1: sat in the sun for like five ten minutes, just

1319
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 1: like chilled, folks. I'm breathing, and I feel world's better

1320
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: right now, Like I feel like I got recharged. No joke,

1321
01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: I was a phone. So if you if you like,

1322
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,480
Speaker 1: and normally I'm not like a handholdie hippie you know

1323
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: kind of crap person like that, give meditation a shot.

1324
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: The thing is, you just focus on your breathing. Whenever

1325
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: your mind waters just wanders, just come back to your

1326
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: breath and like, give a shot sounds like it sounds

1327
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 1: like it'd be key to surviving in the wilderness. It

1328
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 1: could be. It's a very good point. Smirk right now.

1329
01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: That's why, that's why I need you more practicing. That's

1330
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: the school. I love what I like. I don't even

1331
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 1: I would. I wonder, like what percentage of the audience

1332
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: actually knows what the hell we're talking? There was? There

1333
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: was a pole I put it. I don't even know

1334
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 1: if he really need to explain Friday at the end

1335
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: of the day, who would survive longest in the wilderness?

1336
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: I got obliterated. Go to Twitter dot com slash Alex Gelher.

1337
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 1: You can see the pole and some hilarious responses but

1338
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,080
Speaker 1: for other people and against me, like the the chain

1339
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:19,880
Speaker 1: if you just click on that and see the replies

1340
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 1: as ridiculous. By the way, Matt Harmon drunk tweeting me

1341
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 1: late at night, what are you talking about? Drunk tweeting

1342
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,439
Speaker 1: treeting me at eleven thirty at night and saying James

1343
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: would be tenth on this list? Excuse me? Where did

1344
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 1: that come from? That is that is a gross assumption

1345
01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:39,640
Speaker 1: that I was drunk at eleven That's a gross assumption.

1346
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good assumption. But you were that's a

1347
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: pretty good assumption. Oh yeah, I was right leven thirty

1348
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:53,959
Speaker 1: on a Friday night, Rando tweet at James Deco would

1349
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: be on this list. Well where did that come from?

1350
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Because I saw you posted on Facebook, because you're doing

1351
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,320
Speaker 1: that annoying thing now where it's like all your tweets

1352
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: go to Facebook. I don't tweet as much as you

1353
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: pass tweet. No no, no, no, no no, And well

1354
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:07,439
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of good tweets, that's my point.

1355
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: So I saw that on Facebook you go to but

1356
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: I didn't want to. I didn't want to. I didn't

1357
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,120
Speaker 1: want to school you on Facebook because that's really not

1358
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 1: my my forum. So I went to Twitter, pulled up

1359
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 1: that tweet and roasted you there roasted. I got roasted.

1360
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:26,439

1376
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:02,840
Speaker 1: bit more centered when I came back down, because you know,

1377
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:04,600

Speaker 1: a former coworker of my John R. Gindon. He's there

1398

Speaker 1: in Bakersfield. He's a photographer. They're very hard working dude.

1399
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 1: Uh currently laid up in the hospital right now. Unfortunately,

1400
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 1: he contracted to this rando disease called valley fever. Valley

1401
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: fever is no good. Yeah it is. For the most part.

1402
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:24,200
Speaker 1: There's no cure for valley fever. You can die of

1403
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:29,080
Speaker 1: valley fever. There's no exact known cause for valley fever,

1404
01:07:29,160 --> 01:07:32,040
Speaker 1: and there's only a few places in the world that

1405
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,040
Speaker 1: you can get at. Bakersfield is one of those places

1406
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: in the world. Um, anyways, he is. He's been battling

1407
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: you know, um flu like pneumonia like symptoms for the

1408
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:46,640
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks. But but they finally figured it

1409
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,760
Speaker 1: out or or not, I guess didn't figure it out,

1410
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,320
Speaker 1: but they kind of process of elimination figured out that

1411
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 1: it was valley fever. But so now they've got a

1412
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 1: handle on it. Hopefully he does well. Um and uh
