40
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,080

43
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: just that's what I do. Okay, let's get into the show.

44
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: First trade, we should talk about first transaction, the Odell

45
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: Beckham trade, going from New York to the Cleveland Browns,

46
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: making them immediately one of the most interesting team in

47
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 1: the league, as if they weren't already really interesting. But

48
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Ian give us some breakdown on this.

49
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: I actually found the only guy in America that thinks

50
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: the Giants won this trade in Airport Bar last night.

51
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 2: According to him, according to m obj is a diva

52
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: locker room distraction with the time my opinion, he's the

53
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: NFL's best wide receiver and somehow just got traded for

54
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: next to nothing. I mean, good you got you got

55
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: a first and third round pick. I mean I'm not

56
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: I'm not exactly the biggest Jabriel Peppers fan in the world,

57
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 2: but I mean he's I guess can be a good

58
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: replacement for land and Collins. But I just don't think

59
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: there's a single world where you can say, at the

60
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Giants won this trade or even really came close. And

61
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 2: now we got Baker Mayfield with I don't know, maybe

62
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 2: one of the better top three receiver sets in the

63
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: AFC in terms of Obj Landry, I guess Dave Nijoku

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: as well. So I don't have enough good things to

65
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 2: say about this. I know you've done some looks at

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: Obij's props right now, but I think Steiling is the roof.

67
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it would be really hard to say

68
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: that Odell Beckham isn't moving into a better situation and

69
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: that the Browns don't get better with this trade. You know,

70
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: the Giants are rebuilding, so I guess from that perspective,

71
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: I kind of get it, but it's just it's a

72
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: tough situation for them all the way around. I really

73
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: like what this does for Beckham and that he has

74
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: an ascending quarterback. I think, you know, Mayfield last year

75
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: was better than than Eli Manning has been over the

76
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: last two years. I think Manning will continue to decline.

77
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Mayfield is just going to get better.

78
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: So it's a It's a great situation for him and

79
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: I think for OBJ I think we should expect for

80
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: Beckham to see something similar to what we've seen out

81
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: of him over the past, you know, five years, basically

82
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: what he's averaged in his career. I think that's pretty

83
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: close to what he's going to average. With Mayfield. I

84
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: think the big question though, is whether he's going to

85
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: see fewer targets, and I think that's probable given that

86
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: he does have a target hog across the field for

87
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: him and Jarvis Landry. But I think this is really

88
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: good things for Mayfield. And then if you look at

89
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: the Giants offense, I don't think anyone there is really

90
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: helped all that much except for Evan Ingram. I think

91
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: we will probably see Stirling Shepherd get pretty close to

92
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: the year you said he's seen in the past when

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: OBJ is out, but it's not as if that's really

94
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: done all that much for him as a fantasy asset.

95
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: But Evan Ingram has seen a huge boost in production

96
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: when OBJ has been out, so I think it's it's

97
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: very good for him. But yeah, that's what I'm thinking here.

98
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: Any final thoughts on OBJ.

99
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the Evan Ingram call, and he's definitely

100
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: had superior splits with OBJ out. The problem is the

101
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: Giants offense as the whole has just been so much

102
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: worse without OBJ, which makes sense. You take away your

103
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 2: team's you know, best playmaker with all due respect to Saquon,

104
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: and yeah, the whole team gets worse. They average four

105
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: fearer points per game in twenty games without Beckham since

106
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen. I mean, Eli's splits with without Beckham are

107
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: just brutal. I mean, and honestly, Eli put together statistically

108
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: his best season last year that he's had in the

109
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 2: last three or four years, but even that wasn't really

110
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 2: close to what Mayfield was able to put up. So

111
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: it's a one of those situations where, I mean, Saquan

112
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: is going to have the volume, but other than that,

113
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 2: I think I'm I'm laying towards just trying to stay

114
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 2: away from this offense as much as possible because it's

115
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: definitely got the look of a train wreck right now.

116
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, to put some perspective on Baker Mayfield, like, I

117
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: think there's a he's not gonna win MVP, but I

118
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: think he has like a shot of doing it. Eli

119
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: manning with Odell Beckham junior, like before he declined. So

120
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: in his like twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen seasons, he

121
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: had close to forty three hundred yards thirty touchdowns in

122
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: about fifteen interceptions per year with Beckham. So I think

123
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 1: Mayfield just kind of inherently on his own, could do

124
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 1: better than that. And then you add the fact that

125
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: this offense is getting offensive coordinator Todd Mounkin, who with

126
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers last year had the offense that was number

127
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: one in passing yards, number three in passing touchdowns, and

128
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: it was highly aggressive in throwing the ball down the field,

129
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: which I think is an area where both Beckham and

130
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: Mayfield have success. And then if they are able to

131
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: get their timing down, I think like their success together

132
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: could just be very synergistic. So I'm really excited specifically

133
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: about what this means for Mayfield. I think Beckham is

134
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: more or less the same as long as he has

135
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: a fairly competent quarterback. But I think this is great

136
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: for Mayfield.

137
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. That's a good point of Monkin. And yeah,

138
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 2: Baker naugets a throw to anyone's idea of a top

139
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: five wide receiver. I mean, last year we saw these

140
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: deep balls going to Shard Higgins and Brashad freak compariment,

141
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: and Baker kind of made it work. So now he's

142
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: finally getting a talent around him to really thrive. And

143
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: I don't hate that MVP call Matt. I mean, we'll

144
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: see what the odds come out at. But if he's

145
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: not a top five candidate. I'll definitely lay down some

146
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: bones on that.

147
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go to the next guy. The number one

148
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: free agent in the class by almost anyone's definition or

149
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: kind of metric of looking at guys was Le'Veon Bell

150
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: after sitting out the twenty eighteen season and at this

151
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: point what seems to be a horribly misguided decision, at

152
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: least from a financial perspective, but he is signed with

153
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: the Jets. What should we take away from this?

154
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: The great news for us fantasy players the world is

155
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: that we got another workhorse, three down RB back in play.

156
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: I mean, and look, I've seen a bunch of Leveon

157
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 2: Bell stats and breakdowns him versus James Connor pretty similar

158
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: as rushers. I'm not denying that Leon's maybe running ability

159
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: isn't top three in the league or anything. I always

160
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 2: thought the part that separated him as a playmaker was

161
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: his ability as a receiver. I mean, he lines up

162
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 2: as a wide receiver and the slot really just looks

163
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 2: as pure as any other of these guys. And I

164
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 2: mean his original, I guess case for one of the

165
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: bigger contract was that his production was out of an

166
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: RB one and as a wide receiver too, So I

167
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 2: mean it backs up on the film and he joins

168
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 2: Larry Center, Marshall Fock, and Roger Craig as the only

169
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: running backs ever with at least three seasons with seventy

170
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 2: five or more catches. So I'm sure we'll see some

171
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 2: guys like McCaffrey break into that. But still, Leveon Bell

172
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: was truly ahead of his time in terms of just

173
00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 2: revolutionizing the running back position getting all those targets. You

174
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 2: can't ask for a better fantasy spot for him to

175
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: go to the Jets because they were missing a running

176
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: back and behind Robbie Anderson, I like Chris herndon the

177
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 2: tight end, but they were really missing a number two

178
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 2: receiver as well. And we'll see what Jameson Crowder can

179
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 2: bring them the slot. But I think in terms of workload,

180
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: he couldn't have asked to go to a better team.

181
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: And I don't know.

182
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 2: I like these Jets to make a little bit of

183
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 2: a comeback this year. I think Darnold played a lot

184
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: better as the season went on. I mean, he was

185
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 2: the youngest I believe quarterback since Mike Vick to even

186
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: start as a rookie, so we shouldn't have expected the

187
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: most absurd first season anyway.

188
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 3: And I mean, maybe I'm a little.

189
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: Over optimistic on a guy that just sat out a

190
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 2: year and you know, reportedly ballooned up to Round two

191
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: fifty or so, but I have real high expectations for

192
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 2: Bell to step back in as a top five running back.

193
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: Yeah. I have some thoughts on this, and they align

194
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: with what you said. I think he's going to be

195
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: very undervalued this year in redraft leagues, specifically by the

196
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: people who've drafted him last year and who just don't

197
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: even like they're two burn you know. So I think

198
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: there's already going to be like a tenth to a

199
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: twelfth of the market that is just too low on

200
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: him because of what happened last year. And then I

201
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: think they're going to be people who think that because

202
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: he's going to a situation that is clearly a step down.

203
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: I think, just in terms of what you expect from

204
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: the twenty and nineteen Jets offensively versus the twenty and

205
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: thirteen to twenty and seventeen Steelers, obviously the Jets are

206
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: not going to be as prolific in scoring points because

207
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: of that difference. I think there are people who will

208
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: downgrade Bell, But what is important is that he's going

209
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 1: to get a lot of touches. I think, almost as

210
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: many touches as he was given previously. The thing that

211
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: does give me a little bit of pause is Adam

212
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: Gase as the offensive play caller. The Dolphins under his

213
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: oversight did play slower, not just slower than the Steelers,

214
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: but just kind of slower in general. But I still

215
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: think Bell is going to be the guy who's seen

216
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 1: a lot of touches, and there aren't, as you said,

217
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: that many guys who really get that type of usage.

218
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: So I mean, I think it's fair for him probably

219
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: to get around twenty touches per game. He's probably still

220
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: going to be utilized heavily in the passing game, especially

221
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: because as he said, they don't have a lot of

222
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: other options there, at least options that are firmly established.

223
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like what he's able to do. And

224
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: I think the time off isn't going to be as

225
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: big of a factor as people think. So there could

226
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: be a couple of ways in which you would go.

227
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: You would either say, Okay, he's spent a year away

228
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: from the game not getting hit, not you accumulating hundreds

229
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: of touches, so he might be fresher. That's like one

230
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: way someone could look at it, or they could say, like, yeah,

231
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: he's out of shape. I think people are going to

232
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: skew to the out of shape side on this, and

233
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: that could be another thing that makes people devalue him

234
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: in drafts. But if you look historically, and it's not

235
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: as if we have a huge sample of guys who

236
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: have sat out for a year for non injury reasons,

237
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: but the guys who have done it have been guys

238
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: of a high caliber. So John Reagan did it in

239
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty when he was in a contract holdout with

240
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. He basically made the Hall of Fame

241
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: because of everything he did after that season. And he

242
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: was old, by the way, like he was thirty when

243
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: he held out. We saw Adrian Peterson miss fifteen games

244
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 1: of the twenty fourteen season because of suspension. The next

245
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: year he came back, he was thirty years old, and

246
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: he led the league and carries rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.

247
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: We saw Marshaun Lynch retire, you know, quote unquote retire

248
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, come back in twenty seventeen, and he

249
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: had I wouldn't say it was a great season, but

250
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: he had over one thousand yards from scrimmage seven touchdowns,

251
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: and he looked actually much better in the second half

252
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: of that season. He had over ninety scrimmage yards per

253
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: game in the second half, like maybe he was kind

254
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: of working his way back into shape. And he was

255
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: a thirty one year old when that happened. We also

256
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: saw Ricky Williams sit out two seasons, one for retirement,

257
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: one for suspension. When he returned, he played into his

258
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 1: thirties and he was still a pretty good player. And

259
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 1: then I mean, this is a slightly different situation. Bo

260
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: Jackson sat out as a rookie because he didn't want

261
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: to play for the Buccaneers. He just went and played baseball,

262
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: and then the Raiders drafted him the next year. So

263
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: there are guys like every time we've seen a guy

264
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: of a high caliber sit out a season for something

265
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: other than injury, when he's returned, he's actually been pretty productive.

266
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: So like, I'm really not all that worried about conditioning

267
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: for bell or anything like that. He's still twenty seven,

268
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, he's I would say, like in his running

269
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: back prime. I think he has another season or two

270
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: of good usage where we should expect him to be

271
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: pretty productive. So that's where I'm at on Le'Veon Bell,

272
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: but obviously this opens up more holes, I would say,

273
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: not holes, but opportunities for the running backs who are

274
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: left with the Pittsburgh Steelers. What are your thoughts on

275
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: those guys.

276
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 2: I'm not quite sure what to think here, because we've

277
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 2: seen both James Connor and Jalen Samuel. Samuel's perform at

278
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: a high level in this offense without Bell. I mean,

279
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: you know, Pittsburgh gonna make the playoffs last year, but

280
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 2: I don't think that was.

281
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 3: Really because Belle wasn't there per se.

282
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 2: I mean, they were still getting plenty of production out

283
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 2: of there's running backs, and they do need some more

284
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 2: obviously pass catchers, which I think Samuels has the edge

285
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 2: over Connor with that base. You know, we've seen that

286
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: going back to college production as well. But at the

287
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 2: same time, every single time one of these Steelers running

288
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 2: backs has missed time, we see the next guy up

289
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 2: going immediately and Harry, you know, eighty percent snaps and

290
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: a three down workload. So I'm not saying it's not

291
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: in their best interest to do some sort of a

292
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 2: committee with James Connor and Jalen Samuels, But right now

293
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: I'm leaning towards James Connor kind of being that three

294
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: down guy again. Maybe not playing ninety percent of snaps

295
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: like he was for stretches, but I don't think it's

296
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: crazy to think we could see Connor, you know, seventy

297
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 2: percent snap club and you know, really getting around maybe

298
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 2: not twenty touches per game, but at least fifteen are selling.

299
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 2: You know, that was RBRON production from last year. So

300
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 2: I'm still all about investing in this backfield even without

301
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 2: Bell Nab.

302
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I want both of these guys. I think they

303
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: will start to skew a little more towards giving both

304
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: of them touches, and I think that would come at

305
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: the expense of the wide receivers. You know, you lost

306
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, You lost one hundred and sixty to one

307
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty targets over the last you know, five

308
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: to six years. I think what's going to happen is

309
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: they instead of passing and just redistributing all of those

310
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: targets to other guys, I think They're going to lean

311
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more on their running backs and then

312
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: also give some of those targets to Samuel's so I

313
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: could see more two back sets with both of them

314
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: on the field, and I could just see them running

315
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: a little bit more. So, even if James Connor doesn't

316
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: get let's say, like eighty or ninety percent of the

317
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: work the way that Leveon Bell did a few years ago,

318
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: you could still have James Connor with a strong running

319
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: back one type of season. And you could also see

320
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: Samuels as a guy who gets his production as a

321
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: change of pace back or someone who actually kind of

322
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: plays sometimes as a slot receiver because he does have

323
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: that versatility to play as a fullback and then to

324
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: move out and play as a receiver if they need

325
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: him to. So I want both of those guys.

326
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: And also if God forbids something happens to either of them,

327
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 2: then we have just a surefire lock and load RB

328
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: one again.

329
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, talk about Deshaun Jackson. Wasn't a free agent, but

330
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: was traded and there was always some speculation as to

331
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: whether he would finish his contract in Tampa Bay. He

332
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: has been traded back home to the Philadelphia Eagles, the

333
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: team that drafted him in the second round over a

334
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 1: decade ago Ian, What are your thoughts on this trade.

335
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: I think this was a huge, huge trade and really

336
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 2: positions the Eagles to be the favorites of the NFC East.

337
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: I think they easily have the best and most explosive

338
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: pass offense. Now, look at when the Eagles have been

339
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: great over his last two years, obviously one Super Bowl

340
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, and a big part of their offense. These

341
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: guys weren't consistently getting fed the ball, but they always

342
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: had one of Tory Smith or mac Collins on the field.

343
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 2: They'd have Alshon, Jeffery on the other side, Nelson ag

344
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 2: Lor and the slot Zach Ertz a tight end ag Lord,

345
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: can you know he can stretch the field a little bit,

346
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 2: but we have seen him be better in the slot

347
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 2: throughout his career when he can work his quickness a

348
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 2: little bit better. He struggled on the outside and Ertz

349
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 2: and Jeffrey obviously aren't really known as field stretchers, and

350
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: just having that deep threat forced defense to stay. Honestly,

351
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 2: opened up that middle area of the field for both

352
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 2: Ertz and Jeffrey, and they didn't have that last year.

353
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: They tried to have it.

354
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 2: They have Mike Wallace and mac Hollins again to start

355
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,439
Speaker 2: the year, but both those guys were on ir By

356
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 2: I think it was Week three, so they really had

357
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: to play the entire entire season with Jordan Matthews as

358
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: their de facto field stretcher. Carson Wentz made it work

359
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: for a little bit. I mean, it wasn't they weren't atrocious,

360
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: but now they're pretty much substituting Jordan Matthews with the

361
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: league's reigning leader in yards per reception. I mean DJ

362
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: actually averaging eighteen point nine yards per catch last year,

363
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 2: and he has also literally increased the yards per tenth

364
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: of every single QB's ever played with compared to what

365
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: they were producing previously.

366
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 3: So again, they were.

367
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: One of the best offenses in the league when they

368
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: had Tory Smith and mack Hollins serving as a field stretcher,

369
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 2: and now they pretty much got the absolute richest man

370
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 2: version of either of those guys they could imagine.

371
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: So I'm really excited what they're going to do there.

372
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 2: And then also adding in that this this will help

373
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 2: Dallas Goddard I think uptensively get in the field more.

374
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 2: I think we'll see more al Shon, Jeffrey, Deshaun Jackson, Dallas,

375
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 2: Carter zach Ertz two by two sets, and there are

376
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 2: weapons all over the place on this Eagles offense. If

377
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: they can figure out their backfield, I think a little

378
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 2: more look out.

379
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think it's a great move, not

380
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: even so much for Jackson, although I think this does

381
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: benefit him in that he never really had a strong

382
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: connection with Jamis Winston, but a great move for the

383
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: Eagles and everyone else in that offense. And as you've

384
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: mentioned this, this is something that in the past when

385
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: he's been on the field. It's not just that his

386
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have displayed a strong outside of Winston a strong

387
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: connection with him, although most of them have. It's also

388
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: that it opens up everything else for the rest of

389
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: the people on the offense. So his quarterbacks have done

390
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: better when he's just on the field, able to distract

391
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: the defense and make them have to account for him deep.

392
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: So I think this improves obviously, Carson Wentz. I think

393
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: it improves the prospects for literally all of the other

394
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: players on that offense. But I think it is good

395
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: for Jackson too, and that I mean, he just wasn't

396
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: able for whatever reason, to connect with Jamis Winston. But

397
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: I think he will be able to connect better under

398
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's offense, So I still wouldn't like project him

399
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: for like a thousand yards receiving or something like that.

400
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: I think he will do more or less. Probably let

401
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 1: me phrase that he will do more than what he's

402
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: done the last couple of years in Tampa Bay. But

403
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going really to approach a

404
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: thoutd arts, but I'd say like eight hundred to nine

405
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: hundred is probably fair for Tampa Bay. This is pretty exciting,

406
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: I think in that it opens up Chris Godwin a

407
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: lot who previously was splitting snaps with Deshaun Jackson, and

408
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: then there are many snaps now to go around, in

409
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: part because also Adam Humphries is gone, so Godwin. I mean,

410
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: I think this is a situation where I don't want

411
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: to say like he's a top twenty receiver in redraft leagues,

412
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: but like wherever he is going, he provides value, So

413
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: like he's someone I'm really targeting for redraft What about you?

414
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 3: Oh, one hundred percent.

415
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 2: I'm just trying to figure out exactly how this Tampa

416
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 2: Bay offense is going to look because I have very

417
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 2: high expectations for how they to perform with braz Arians

418
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 2: there and his you know, downfield attack. We saw it

419
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: in Arizona. He really made stars out of John Brown,

420
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 2: He got the most out of Michael Floyd. Obviously almost

421
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: brought Larry Faicchild back from the dead by moving him

422
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: to slot and really allowing him to flourish there. And

423
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: now we're looking at it, like you said, Humphreys has gone,

424
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: we have Oj.

425
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 3: Howard and Cambray.

426
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 2: Arians didn't really get a tight end super involved during

427
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 2: his time in Arizona, But I also don't think he

428
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: had a tight end with the type of talent as

429
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: Oj Howard, So keeping that in mind a little bit,

430
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 2: but are starting through wide receiver sets right now, are

431
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: looking like Mike Evans, Chris Goblin, and I think for

432
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 2: Shad Perryman, who they signed, that's kind of like the

433
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 2: fact that a field stretcher. But with that in mind,

434
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 2: I think we could see Chris Goblin in that starting

435
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: slot role and it'd be very just match up friendly

436
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 2: for him because we've seen the Marshawn Lattimore's of the

437
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: world and all these number one corners typically travel with

438
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 2: Mike Evans on the outside so even if Evans is still,

439
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 2: you know, the leader in targets on that team, I

440
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: don't think there's any reason why both Evans and Goblin

441
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 2: can't go over triple digital targets, and Goblin could be

442
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: that guy that has the better matchup every single week

443
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 2: if the number one cornerbacks continue to stay on the

444
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 2: outside with Evans, because we've seen him produce, and whenever

445
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: Djacks has been out, I mean six games without him,

446
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 2: Goblin was able to get at least ninety eight yards

447
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: and four of those games you know has scored. I

448
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: believe it was four touchdowns in those six games. So

449
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of production. We've seen it. It's just

450
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 2: been a matter of opportunity, and now he's going to

451
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 2: have all the opportunity you can handle ideally. So I'm

452
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 2: just really curious about if arians is gonna make him

453
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 2: kind of a younger and more explosive Larry Fitzgerald, or

454
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: if we'll see him more on the outside and perhaps

455
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 2: more OJ or someone to be named in the slot.

456
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a good question about where he's going to play.

457
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: For me, I'm I'm just gonna it's not if I'm

458
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: gonna ignore it. But I'm pretty much going to ignore

459
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: it because I think wherever he plays, he's gonna get

460
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: the targets, whether it's inside or outside. If he's inside,

461
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: that is definitely interesting because a lot of teams kind

462
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: of try to hide their weakest cornerback in the slot,

463
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: and I think Godwin will destroy whoever he's going against

464
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 1: if he's in the slot, if he's outside. I think

465
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: what that means is that we might see more two

466
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: tight end sets, even though that is like totally something

467
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 1: that Arians never did. I think we could see Oj

468
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: Howard we're basically playing as a slot receiver with Cameron

469
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: Brad playing as the kind of blocking inline tight end.

470
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 1: One guy maybe to keep an eye on. You mentioned

471
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 1: Rashad Perryman. Another guy who's interesting is Justin Watson, who

472
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: was an incredibly productive player in college at Pennsylvania. Drafted

473
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: in the seventh round because he was a small school guy,

474
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: but he's big and he's athletic. We know that Bruce

475
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: Arians really privileges speed, and Watson is a guy who

476
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: does have a lot of speed for his size. So

477
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: he's someone I know they signed Perryman, but I think

478
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 1: Watson is better than Perryman, I would give Watson a nod.

479
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,239
Speaker 1: So if this is an offense that we're interested in

480
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 1: and we think there's the potential maybe for three receivers

481
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: actually to be viable, Watson is someone to keep in mind.

482
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a good point. I agree with you.

483
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: Wherever Goblin ends up lining up, I think he's going

484
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 2: to be the number two pass game target. He'll be

485
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,959
Speaker 2: getting plenty of targets regardless. But yeah, it's gonna be

486
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 2: interesting keep an eye on who emerges as their kind

487
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 2: of go to field stretcher, because we saw how quickly

488
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: Smoke Smoky Brown with Arizona was able to kind of

489
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 2: bust some big plays and Bruce Arians you know, no

490
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: risk and no biscuit offense. And if it is Perriman,

491
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: if it is Watson, I'm not saying those guys will

492
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 2: have kind of week to week consistency in season one,

493
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: but those could be the guys, you know, with a

494
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 2: sub four K salary on DraftKings that we attack because

495
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 2: of that high ceiling.

496
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we we didn't really even mention Mike Evans yet.

497
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if the trade really opens up much

498
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: for him. He's already I think, you know a top

499
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: end guy who could challenge for fifteen hundred yards, you know,

500
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: which is what he got last year. So I think

501
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: it's just kind of more of the same for him.

502
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with there.

503
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he's we should expect maybe a little drop off,

504
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure if we should expect to drop

505
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 2: off in the offense. I mean, we seeing DeShawn Jackson

506
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 2: to elevate, you know, for all the reasons we talked

507
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 2: about Philly improving just having that type of speed on

508
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 2: the field, if they're not able to replicate that, I

509
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 2: could see that being a problem for someone like Evans

510
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: who doesn't necessarily have the wheels to get loose on

511
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 2: his own all the time. But at the end of

512
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: the day, we've seen Winston and him have the type

513
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: of chemistry, and he's so dang big anyway, it's hard

514
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: to keep him away from the ball. So I'm pretty

515
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 2: confident Evans and Goblin I gonna be able to figure

516
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 2: it out regardless of how the rest of it plays out.

517
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: All Right, this is kind of a tangential question, but

518
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: is Mike Evans a Hall of Famer?

519
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: Yes, he's one of four receivers. I believe of forty

520
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 2: touchdowns since twenty fifteen does not get their respect.

521
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 3: And yeah, like you said, at fifteen.

522
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 2: Hundred yards last year, he had a slightly down. It

523
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 2: seems like twenty seventeen just from his standards. But what

524
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 2: the guy's been in the league. I think five years

525
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: he's I mean, he's also on that short list of

526
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: amount of one thousand yard seasons and your first five

527
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: years and everything he's done at this point screams Hall

528
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 2: of Fame receiver. And I think with his size, at

529
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 2: the very least, he can keep being a red zone

530
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 2: threat for years to come. If Brandon Marshall could score

531
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: fourteen touchdowns when he was like thirty with the Jets,

532
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 2: I'll see why Evans can kind of keep up that

533
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: kind of pace as he gets older.

534
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think he has a real shot

535
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,160
Speaker 1: of an undervalued shot. People just don't respect him. And

536
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: he's one of only three receivers in NFL history with

537
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,360
Speaker 1: a thousand yards receiving in each of his first five seasons.

538
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: The other two are Randy Moss and AJ Green, you know,

539
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: and like I think Green is probably a Hall of

540
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 1: Famer two. But I mean, Evans has to keep it up.

541
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: But what he's done to this point is pretty incredible,

542
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 1: and he just doesn't get the props for it. Bringing

543
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: it back to Deshaun Jackson, it will be I think,

544
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: definitely nice to see him, you know, finish his career

545
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: in an Eagles uniform. On the topic of clothing, I'm

546
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: going to talk about Mack Weldon. Oh yeah, It's been

547
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: a while since I had the privilege of getting to

548
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: talk about Mack Weldon to a captive audience. But now

549
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: once again I get to talk about how comfortable I

550
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: am and how good I look. Am I mac Daddy

551
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: Weldon hoodie. I hate shopping for clothes. I hate shopping online.

552
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: I hate shopping for clothes online. But yet I find

553
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: myself magnetically drawn to mac Weldon's website, which is easy

554
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: to use, to have a smart design for the site,

555
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: which makes searching for items really intuitive. And as a result,

556
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 1: I am slowly but surely building up my collection of

557
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 1: mac Weldon items so that I one day can have

558
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: a wardrobe that one hundred percent consists of mac Weldon

559
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: only mac Weldon. My wife went out of town. I

560
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,439
Speaker 1: went to pick her up at the airport. You know,

561
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: it's a special thing. She's been away for a few days,

562
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: so I wanted to look good, wanted to show her

563
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 1: what she'd been missing. So you know, I showered As

564
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: a first step. I trended my beard down so I

565
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: looked a little less wilderness survivor like. And then I

566
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: put on one hundred percent Mac Weldon. They have underwear, socks, shirts, undershirts, hoodies,

567
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: and sweatpants, and I was head to toe dressed in

568
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: mac Weldon if not for having to take clothes off,

569
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: so you know, you can do the things that you

570
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 1: do sometimes when you're not wearing clothes, you know what

571
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I would literally never take off my

572
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 1: macweld and hoodie. What Batman suit is to Bruce Wayne,

573
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: my macweld and hoodie is to me to the ordinary world,

574
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: I'm just Matt Friedman, Matt f the Oracle. But the

575
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:16,159
Speaker 1: moment I put on this Macweldon hoodie, I instantly transform

576
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 1: into a guy who's willing to burn minutes of podcast

577
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: time talking about the best clothing company in the entire world.

578
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,160
Speaker 1: What makes Macweldon the best? Well, first, the name, I mean,

579
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: mack Weldon just sounds like someone who is, you know,

580
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: the fifth singer and a nineties boy band. Secondly, the underwear,

581
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: which is made of silver so it's naturally antimicrobial to

582
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: eliminate odor. If you don't like your first pair of

589
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: some of these other key signings. Tevin Coleman with the

590
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: forty nine ers, what do you think?

591
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: I love it from like an on field standpoint, because

592
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 2: Tevin Coleman's awesome. I was tweeting during free agency just

593
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: looking at some of his routes he's run as a

594
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: receiver in the slot. He's so smooth, he's so explosive,

595
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: you know, really ranks highly in a bunch of efficiency measures.

596
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 3: But we've never seen him get.

597
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 2: The volume to really go all the way and become

598
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 2: a true RB one with it. And we're not going

599
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: to get that volume in San Francisco now. I mean

600
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 2: we've seen basically with Kyle Shanahan calling the shots in Atlanta.

601
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: With Coleman, his ceiling was pretty much like an RB

602
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,959
Speaker 2: twenty and he was only getting there through sheer efficiency

603
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,720
Speaker 2: and just being a baller. And I'm not saying he

604
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: can't continue to do that. But right now, we've got

605
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 2: Jack McKinnon there still, we got Matt Brader is still there,

606
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 2: we got Raheem Moser still, We've got Kyle Yuschek still

607
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: who's playing a ton of snaps. So it's one of

608
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 2: those situations where, Yeah, Tevin Coleman definitely helps the forty

609
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,959
Speaker 2: nine ers offense because he's such a great playmaker, but

610
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a tough guy to get behind fantasy

611
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: unless they cut Jack McKinnon. And because I haven't doved

612
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 2: in the contract a ton, but it looks like most

613
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 2: of his guarantees already been paid.

614
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is the real question. Are they going to

615
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 1: keep McKinnon. I think Brada has kind of locked in

616
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: his role a little bit. I think it would be

617
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: weird for them to have McKinnon and Coleman to pay

618
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: both of those guys and to let Brita go. So yeah,

619
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: it's a little bit hard to know what is happening

620
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: with that backfield because there are legitimately now five guys

621
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: who might end up getting some action at some point.

622
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Tyrell Williams, Tyrell the Gazelle signing with

623
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: the Raiders.

624
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: Down gray for him going from philp Rivers and Derek Carr.

625
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 2: But gotta give Tyrell his help props. He trails only

626
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: Julio Jones, Tyreek Kill, Tyler Lockett, and Gronk among players

627
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: with one hundred plus targets since twenty fifteen and yards

628
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: per target. I mean, yeah, he's been a field stretcher,

629
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: but it's even like adjusted for average target deaf a

630
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: little bit. I mean, he's just truly been really efficient

631
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 2: whenever the ball is thrown his way. I think there

632
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 2: is a chance here that we can see Ab and

633
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: Tyrell be the Marii Cooper and Michael Crabtree duo that

634
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 2: are both getting, you know, one hundred and twenty plus

635
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: targets per year.

636
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 3: I'm just not positive though.

637
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 2: And the real unfortunate thing and all this is that

638
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: Jordy Nelson's gone, so, oh my gosh, we got to

639
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: deal with another season of Seth Roberts in the slot

640
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: and just ruining our DFS lineups every week. It doesn't

641
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 2: look like Jared Cooks are going to resign there at

642
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 2: the moment. But I'm just the ideal if all these

643
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 2: targets go to AB and Tyroll Wills. But I've I've

644
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 2: learned a long time ago to not assume anything with

645
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 2: Derek Carr in the center.

646
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, or John Gruden as the head coach. One thing

647
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: that I think is an underrated possibility because I like

648
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: Tyrell has had a lot of potential. He is a

649
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: guy who has I believe a thousand yard season under

650
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: his belt. There's a non zero chance that Ab declines

651
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: a little bit faster than people think he will in

652
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: that Tyrell really really becomes like the like the Juju

653
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: function for this where a lot of attention gets shifted

654
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 1: to Antonio Brown and Tyrell Williams is able to benefit

655
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: from that. I think there's a chance that that happens,

656
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: but at like a minimum, we're talking about a guy who,

657
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: over the last three seasons his average over eight hundred touchdowns,

658
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: sorry not touchdowns, over eight hundred yards per year. So

659
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: there's some potential there with him. Let's talk about mark

660
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: Ingram going from the Saints to the Ravens.

661
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 2: I guess best case scenario for both parties. I mean,

662
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: we saw the big difference last year. They went away

663
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 2: from Alex Collins. They went to Gus Edwards once Lamar

664
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: Jackson took over. The big reason for that was Alex Collins.

665
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: God bless the guy. I love watching the way he runs,

666
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 2: but has a big time tendency of trying to cut back.

667
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: You know, he would take a lot of plays that

668
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 2: would end up being tackled for a loss and then

669
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 2: he'd make up for it with a bigger run. But

670
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 2: wasn't exactly what the Ravens wanted in an offense that

671
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: struggled so much to pass the ball.

672
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson under center.

673
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 2: Gus Edwards was the opposite, wasn't able to bust big

674
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 2: plays when he finished the year number one in success right,

675
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: you know, he consistently gets you positive yardage. That's what

676
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: mark Ingram's been for the last three years. He's finished third, first,

677
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 2: and fifth in success rate over the last three seasons.

678
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 2: And we've also seen him provide some home run hitting ability.

679
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: I mean he's a little bit older, but at the

680
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 2: same time, he's never had over two hundred and thirty

681
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 2: carries in a season. I think it's something like Todd

682
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 2: Gurley only has about two hundred and eighty fewer carries

683
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 2: than Ingram, even though Gurley came into the league something

684
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 2: like four years later. So I think Ingram's still relatively

685
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: young in terms of just wear and tear on his body.

686
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 2: And I'm a little concerned if he'll get enough snaps

687
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: to truly get.

688
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 3: A fifteen to twenty touch workload. But I think if.

689
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: That's there, he has all the makings of being a

690
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: potential RB one.

691
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's going to continue to get the touches.

692
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to have the touchdowns he's

693
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: previously had and that has been a fairly significant source

694
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: of his fantasy value. And then also he's gotten like

695
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: that kind of underappreciated number of targets over the last

696
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: five years. As you know, a guy who plays in

697
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: an offense with a quarterback who really likes to spread

698
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: the ball around. So he's a good receiving back, and

699
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: I think that means that he's going to be on

700
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: the field more. But I don't think he's going to

701
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,359
Speaker 1: get the targets from Lamar Jackson, who I think is

702
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: like less inclined to check it down to the running

703
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: back and more inclined just to run the ball. But

704
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: we have seen the efficiency, the added efficiency that a

705
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: running quarterback adds to the running game overall and to

706
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: running backs that are next to him in particular, So

707
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: I do think it is a good fit for Ingram

708
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: in that sense. All right, let's talk about Cole Beasley

709
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: and John Brown signing with the Buffalo Bills. I don't

710
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,719
Speaker 1: know what do we have to say about two guys

711
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: who are going to have Josh Allen throwing them the ball.

712
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was really hoping that smoke he could have

713
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 2: gone somewhere literally pretty much anywhere other than Buffalo. But

714
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 2: maybe not if Josh Allen can just get a little

715
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 2: more accurate, which I know is like the one thing

716
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 2: that we shouldn't assume quarterbacks can really improve on. But

717
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 2: the one thing is he did lead the league with

718
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 2: a nineteen point eight percent deep ball rate. I mean,

719
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 2: no one was really throwing the ball down field more

720
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 2: often than Josh Allen in between his wild scrambles, So

721
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 2: I'm not confident he can really put it accurately to

722
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: John Brown. But at the same time, if anyone can

723
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 2: run down these wild deep balls. Maybe it is smokey,

724
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 2: so it's gonna be inconsistent. I think I'm not overly

725
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 2: optimistic on Josh Allen taking a massive jump as a

726
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: passer in the year two, But I have way more

727
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 2: optimism for John Brown becoming a fantasy relevant guy than

728
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 2: Cole Beasley at least too. Look, I mean, Beasley, you know,

729
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: he's similar as Adam Humphrey, is just super consistent. He's

730
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 2: catching over seventy percent of his targets. At the same time,

731
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 2: he's never finished higher than the PPR Watch receiver thirty three.

732
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 2: That was even in that Cowboys year where Dad's was

733
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: hurt for a lot of time. It was almost the

734
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 2: best case scenario. So I really don't see a scenario

735
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 2: where Beasley is gonna be a fantasy relevant player. I

736
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 2: think him being there, more than anything, just hurts Zay

737
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 2: Jones's outlook, because I think it's gonna be Robert.

738
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 3: Foster and John Brown still on the outside.

739
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,279
Speaker 2: But the good thing is the Bills are getting some

740
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 2: weapons because we should give Josh Allen a little bit

741
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 2: of a credit in terms of that offense. Really had

742
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 2: known from the throw to last year. I mean, he

743
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 2: pretty much made Robert Foster into at least a decent

744
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 2: fantasy contributor towards the end of the season. And hey,

745
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: Josh Allen was the QB one I believe those last

746
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 2: five weeks when he was running the ball every other play.

747
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 2: So at least he has some more weapons this year.

748
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 2: We'll see, We'll see how it works out.

749
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 1: All right, Golden Tate with the Giants.

750
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: I know he's still got the yards after catchability, but

751
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 2: he's aging. We saw what happened when he went to Philly.

752
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 2: He wasn't getting fed nine targets every game. And I'm

753
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: not even sure he's gonna line up because Sterling Shepherd

754
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 2: has been their primary slot receivers. So again mentioned this earlier,

755
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 2: but I'm not even sure if it matters where he

756
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 2: lines up. This is one of those situations where again

757
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 2: I'm targeting Saquon maybe a little bit of Evan Ingram,

758
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 2: like you said, but I think going out after a

759
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 2: Golden Tate isn't quite the thing to do.

760
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting like a team like the Patriots has

761
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: been able to get away with playing slot receivers like outside,

762
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: but yeah, and having like basically multiple slot receivers on

763
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: the field, but I don't know if the Giants are

764
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: going to be able to do that with certainly Shepherd

765
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,720
Speaker 1: and Golden Tate because you know, at this point Eli

766
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 1: Manning isn't you know? Tom Brady, Yeah, and I saw.

767
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 3: I think Chris Raybond had a good tweet.

768
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 2: Who's looking at the yards per route run for these

769
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 2: guys from the slot and from the outside. I believe

770
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 2: both Shepherd and Tate had similar figures, So I'm not

771
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 2: saying they can't still have some success on the outside.

772
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 2: The bigger thing is just this offense as a whole

773
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 2: without someone like Obj to clear out that area for

774
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 2: these more underneath dudes.

775
00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 3: And again, it's still Eli throwing the ball.

776
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's a good point. Nick Foles signing with

777
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, what do you think.

778
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 2: I think we've seen at this point that Foles is

779
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,600
Speaker 2: going to kind of be a boom or bust fantasy option.

780
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 2: The question I have is who's going to benefit the

781
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 2: most among his receivers, because don't forget we got Marquise

782
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: Lee coming back after we missed the whole season. Dede

783
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 2: Westbrook had a really good year two and the guy

784
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 2: I'm pretty high on was their third round pick from

785
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,919
Speaker 2: last year. It might have been second, but DJ Chark

786
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 2: out of LSU, who ran a four to three, one

787
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 2: of the premier field stretches.

788
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 3: From that class.

789
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: And I think if any of these guys are gonna

790
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 2: be able to run down these deep balls from Folds,

791
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 2: it could be Chark.

792
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 3: But I don't know who you think ends up believing

793
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 3: this team in targets.

794
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 1: Oh that's a hard one. I mean, I guess I

795
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: would say in targets it would probably be Lee, but

796
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 1: I don't really think of him as someone I want

797
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: on my team because I don't trust his upside. I

798
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: would rather take your shot on someone like Dde Westbrook

799
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: because I think he has the field stretching ability, but

800
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: also given that he plays in the slot, I think

801
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: he will have easier matchups and he can also I think,

802
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: have some easier targets and then kind of turn that

803
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: intoers after the catch. So I think pretty easily prefer

804
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: west Ryan Fitzpatrick signing with the Dolphins.

805
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,359
Speaker 2: So fits magic last year, and we cannot overstate just

806
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 2: how good he was as a Fantasy contributor. I mean,

807
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: obviously he fell off the cliff and a couple starts,

808
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: but he was a top five TV and four of

809
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 2: the seven starts. His nine point six average yards per

810
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,240
Speaker 2: pass attempt was literally the third best mark ever among

811
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 2: quarterbacks would throw at least two hundred passes in a

812
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 2: single season.

813
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 3: So I had easily the best year of his career.

814
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I don't think we suld necessarily

815
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 2: assume he's going to just crash back to Earth as

816
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 2: a terrible quarterback.

817
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: And he's got some weapons in Miami.

818
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I was really hoping they get Tyrod or

819
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray and become this really really fast of offense

820
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 2: because look at all these guys. They got Albert Wilson

821
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: to Keem Grant, DeVante Parker even like Kenyan Drake and

822
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,399
Speaker 2: Mike Jioseki. All these guys are four four four three

823
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 2: guys even, and their speed all over the field. We'll

824
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 2: see how the new offense looks and everything, but I

825
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 2: think I think Fitzpatrick was going to be able to

826
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: enable one of these receivers to be a pretty consistent,

827
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,479
Speaker 2: fancy contributor. I did even mentioned Kenny Stills who could

828
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 2: be the front runner for that role, but I'm not

829
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 2: sure who it's going to.

830
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: Be Yeah, I mean guaranteed there's at least one week

831
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: where Fitzpatrick wins a GPP for someone. You know, you

832
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: just kind of need to stack him with one of

833
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: his receivers every week, and like, one week it's going

834
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: to happen. Dante Moncreef signs with the Steelers.

835
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 3: I like Moncreef and Indy.

836
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 2: He wasn't able to get stuff going on in Jacksonville,

837
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 2: but he averaged almost a half touchdown per game in

838
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 2: thirty one career games with Andrew Lux, so we've seen

839
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: him have some red zone success as long as his

840
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 2: quarterback pretty much hasn't been Blake Bortles or Jacobe Brissett.

841
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 2: At the same time, James Washington's already on the outside.

842
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 2: Jujus obviously a fed. We talked about the running backs earlier.

843
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 2: Vas McDonald's could be another guy that's going to see

844
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: a target uptick, and I'm just not really all that

845
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 2: convinced that Dante moncus could be able to approach triple

846
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 2: digit targets. I got to look at the contract a

847
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 2: little closer, but I don't know. I'm pretty sure it's

848
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 2: just a one year deal and it's not a situation

849
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 2: where we should necessarily expect him to walk into a

850
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 2: top two or three pass game role.

851
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree. I think he will have a

852
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: couple of blow up games, but not anything we would

853
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 1: be able to count on. And I would be surprised

854
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: if he does emerge as the like the solid, clear

855
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: number two receiver. I think James Washington has a better

856
00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 1: shot at that. A guy who is interesting. We talked

857
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: about him last week, Devin Funches with the Colts, and

858
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: I think he actually will probably play like that old

859
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief role. What are your thoughts with him?

860
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent. You said it.

861
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: He's locked in as their number two wide receiver in

862
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 2: that offense, just pacedime them not really having anyone else.

863
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 2: I mean, people kind of scoffed at that big thirteen

864
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: million dollar number he's getting for just one year, but

865
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: Indy has so much cap room it really didn't matter

866
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 2: as much and it is just one year. So but

867
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 2: with that said, six or four two hundred and thirty pounds,

868
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 2: we've seen what Luck does with any tight end they

869
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: put on the field. Funch is you could, and he

870
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 2: was playing tight end in Michigan at first. I mean

871
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 2: you can just call him an overly athletic tight.

872
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 3: End if you wanted to.

873
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm not sure, as I guess you'd call that an

874
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 2: insult to someone who claims to be a wide receiver.

875
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 2: But I think it's going to matter in Indian I'd

876
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 2: like to hear your take here, Matt, because I think

877
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 2: Devin Funch has finishes with more touchdowns than Eric Ebrom

878
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 2: next year.

879
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: That's probably a fair take, Like I think you will

880
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: certainly finish with more targets. I think the big question

881
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: is how much is Ebron going to be on the field.

882
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: Are they going to do the thing where they'd limit

883
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: his snaps? Does Jack Doyle return and play a lot

884
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: of the snaps and kind of relegate Ebron to more

885
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: of a specialized role. But I'll still go with Ebron.

886
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,479
Speaker 1: He's just, I think, so dynamic in the red zone,

887
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 1: and he already has an established connection, And I think

888
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: like it's easier to bet on Ebron doing something similar

889
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: to what he did last year than to bet on

890
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: Functious succeeding when we've never really seen him have much success.

891
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: So I'll go with Ebron. But I think it's going

892
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: to be close. Adam Humphries signing with the Titans.

893
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of the cool Beasley thing. I mean,

894
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 2: adding one of these guys that so good at getting

895
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 2: open and consistently catching it. Obviously great for the quarterback

896
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: and great for the offense. But I don't think we're

897
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 2: gonna see any fantasy relevance here. He got at least

898
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 2: fifty five passes for at least six hundred yards in

899
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 2: each of these past three years. But at the same time,

900
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 2: Tampa Bay was number four in pass attempts last year,

901
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 2: Tennessee was thirty first, so we got the Lady Walker

902
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,840
Speaker 2: coming back as well. I mean, it seems like Humphrey

903
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: is going to enter a season as a number three

904
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 2: pass game option and one of the league's most run

905
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: heavy offenses. So I'll be staying away in pretty much

906
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 2: all forms of fancy.

907
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,840
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber resigning with Tampa Bay, which I think is

908
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 1: actually a really underrated under the radar signing because there's

909
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: a real chance he could just end up being the

910
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: lead back there again.

911
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least a start.

912
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 2: I mean, we have seen I mean some of the

913
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 2: guys and that Bruce arians fed in Arizona, like Andre

914
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 2: Ellington washed up Chris Johnson. He wasn't afraid the feature

915
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 2: of these backs that didn't necessarily have David Johnson esque ability.

916
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 2: With that said, I think because they don't have a

917
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 2: pack that's like David Johnson, I don't think they're done

918
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 2: addressing the position. And we could see them Tiger running

919
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: back earlier in the draft, but maybe not because they

920
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 2: still got Ronald Jones. It was their second round pick

921
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: last year. So it's an interesting situation.

922
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 3: But I'm with you.

923
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 2: I mean, it wouldn't be shocking if Barber enters Week

924
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 2: one as the starting running back.

925
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: All right, sticking in Tampa Bay, Breshad Perryman we mentioned

926
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: him earlier, has signed with Tampa Bay. What are your

927
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: thoughts on him?

928
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 2: I mean, he's always had all the talent. That's why

929
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 2: he was a first round pick, six foot two two

930
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: and twelve pounds of four to three speed. I don't

931
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 2: see why he couldn't have a few splash weeks. He's

932
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 2: going to be working.

933
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 3: Behind Godwin and Evans at least.

934
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,719
Speaker 2: I know you like Watson to potentially beat him out,

935
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,720
Speaker 2: but there's an outside scenario where he could be Arian's

936
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 2: new Smoky Brown and give us a few splash weeks.

937
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that could happen. Geronimo Allison has re

938
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: signed with the Green Bay Packers. What are your thoughts?

939
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: Is he someone that we should count on as a

940
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: as a starter for that team.

941
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: I think so because we've seen Aaron Rodgers just have

942
00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 2: ridiculous success with him at this point. I mean he's look,

943
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 2: Rogers have targeted twenty p players in his career at

944
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 2: least fifty times. Among that group, only Jordan Nelson and

945
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: Allison have averaged over ten yards tenant justin yards per attempt.

946
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 2: A lot of the times Rodgers has thrown to him,

947
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 2: it's downfield, so they're pretty fantasy friendly targets. And there's

948
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: still holes in that Packers receiving corps because they really

949
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 2: haven't gone out of their way to replace anyone or

950
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 2: ad anyone other than losing Cobs. So I think we

951
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 2: could still see starting three wide receiver sets at Devonte Adams, Allison,

952
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 2: and then one of Marquez Valdas scaling won the rookies

953
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:30,160
Speaker 2: from last year.

954
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: Okay, the next guy, Adrian Peterson has re signed with

955
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: the Washington Redskins. This terrifies me because he actually had

956
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 1: twelve hundred and fifty scrimmage yards last year, which is like,

957
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: that's a pretty decent season, especially for a guy who's

958
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: thirty three years old. He had eight touchdowns. I'm a

959
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: little bit worried that he is going to delay the

960
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: development of Darius Guys, who I'm pretty excited about. But

961
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts with Adrian Peterson? What are we

962
00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:59,520
Speaker 1: potentially going to see out of him next year?

963
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Man, he was good last year and he

964
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 2: was actually playing even better before pretty much the entire

965
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 2: Redskins offensive line got hurt around a week eleven or.

966
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,439
Speaker 3: Twelve or so, around the same time Alex Smith went down.

967
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 2: So, you know, great job on Ap for really coming

968
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 2: through after the entire league I had written him off.

969
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 2: But with that said, yeah, i mean, not only is

970
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 2: Ap there to take away touches from Geist, but Chris

971
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 2: Thompson's still there to come in on pass downs and everything.

972
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,439
Speaker 2: So it's tough to see Geys really entering Week one

973
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 2: now with a big role, especially coming off this injury.

974
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 2: The question I guess is how well is that recovery going,

975
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 2: Because I've seen some videos on Twitter and all that

976
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 2: it does seem like everything's fine, But it's curious to

977
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 2: see them. We sign AP because they were so high

978
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 2: on Geis going into last season as a potential three

979
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 2: down guy. But I don't think AP would resign there

980
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,480
Speaker 2: if he wasn't assured of at least some early down more.

981
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: All right, the next guy, Quarterrell Patterson, has signed with

982
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,879
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears. I should just say, I know where

983
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:56,279
Speaker 1: you're going with this, and it's ridiculous, but go ahead.

984
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 2: All right if you will, called the guy averaging the

985
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 2: most stards per rush in the NFL since two thousand,

986
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 2: minimum fifty carries ridiculous, you can, Matt, But look, Quadal

987
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: Patterson has been a running back, and the entire draft

988
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: community owes him an apology for calling him a wide

989
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 2: receiver for all these years and trying to turn him

990
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 2: into a bus Because put the ball in the guy's hands,

991
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 2: he makes place.

992
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 3: He's the second best kick.

993
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 2: Returner ever, and he was good enough to get Bill

994
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: Belichick and Tom Brady to give him real snaps out

995
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 2: wide receiver as well in pivotal moments of last season.

996
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 2: So hats off Adam Gase. You got yourself a playmaker? Yes,

997
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 2: super Bowl winning Yeah, Naggie, that's on me. Yeah not

998
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 2: Adam But yes, you were thinking of was it like

999
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen.

1000
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: Adam Gas That? Yeah, okay, twy fifteen Adam Gase. All right,

1001
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: Zack Zinner has resigned with the Detroit Lions. I still

1002
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 1: have a flame for this guy. At some point his

1003
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:59,720
Speaker 1: elite Spark Athletics is going to render all other running

1004
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: back options on that team obsolete. Probably not, But what

1005
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: do you think here?

1006
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 2: I just think the big point here is that it

1007
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: looks like Detroit's gonna continue to use a committee system.

1008
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: ESPN's Matthew Berry had a nice article after the combine

1009
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: where he talked to a lot of coaches and he

1010
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: said that his sense from both Matt Patricia and Bob

1011
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 2: Quinn was that they're pretty clear out they did not

1012
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,520
Speaker 2: intend to give carry On a feature back role that

1013
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 2: they both believe in multiple backs. So Theo Riddick's still

1014
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 2: there to take away some pass down snaps. And you know,

1015
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 2: I'm not quite a tie as Zach Zentner as you are.

1016
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 2: I like carry On and what he can bring the table,

1017
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: but I don't see any of these guys averaging over

1018
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 2: fifteen touches of the game, which is obviously what we're

1019
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 2: looking for in fantasy.

1020
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 1: I mean, Zach Zentner's twenty eight years old. It's about

1021
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 1: time for that breakout. DeVante Parker has signed re signed

1022
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 1: amazingly with the Miami Dolphins.

1023
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 2: Man, I was so ready to give up on this guy,

1024
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 2: and now I don't know. Maybe this is what all

1025
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: we need is a little bit of Ryan fitzmagic to

1026
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 2: turn around the whole career for Devonte Parker.

1027
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 3: But now I don't think we're gonna see all that

1028
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 3: much here.

1029
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: If I had to guess got in my head, I'd

1030
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 2: say Albert Wilson is the guy that emerges out of

1031
00:49:06,880 --> 00:49:09,959
Speaker 2: this as their best playmaker this year. He was really

1032
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,839
Speaker 2: playing incredible last year, was averaging over three yards per

1033
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 2: out run, which is something really only Julio Jones has

1034
00:49:15,480 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: done over the last several years before he got hurt.

1035
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to seeing what Albert Wilson been

1036
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: doing this offense, more so than DeVonta.

1037
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels like Parker has been in the league

1038
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: at this point, like we've been waiting on the potential

1039
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: breakout for like seven years, you know it, Just it

1040
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: feels like he's been in this limbo state forever. Latavius

1041
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: Murray signing with the New Orleans Saints. This one is

1042
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 1: really interesting to me. I had Murray essentially written off

1043
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: before free agency as someone no team should really be

1044
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: all that interested in, or just I wasn't expecting a

1045
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: team really to be interested in him. But signing with

1046
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: the Saints is interesting because they historically have used a

1047
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: committee and he is a touchdown scorer, and if he

1048
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: slots in even as a lesser markie Ingram, that could

1049
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: still have a lot of value. What do you think? Yeah,

1050
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: I agree with you.

1051
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 2: It's just a question of how close will he be

1052
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 2: used to what we saw with Ingram, Because obviously last season,

1053
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 2: those first four weeks when Ingram was suspended, we saw

1054
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,520
Speaker 2: Kamara easily work as the RB one, just with the

1055
00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 2: amount of targets and also just being the crystal clear

1056
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 2: goal line back as well, which is so huge for him.

1057
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 2: But Latavius is definitely at least more competent than those

1058
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 2: Trey Williams and the types of guys that they tried

1059
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 2: to get in there to replace Ingram for those first

1060
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,560
Speaker 2: four weeks. So I don't know if we're going to

1061
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 2: see as close to a fifty to fifty kind of

1062
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 2: split that we had with Ingram and Kamara, but I

1063
00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 2: could see maybe a sixty forty seventy thirty split, whereas

1064
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 2: a lot of people might think that this is now

1065
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:43,720
Speaker 2: just Kamara's backfield.

1066
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: All right, Frank Gore has signed with the Buffalo Bills

1067
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: to give them one of the oldest running back backfields

1068
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 1: of all time. What are your thoughts?

1069
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the only point we need to bring

1070
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,879
Speaker 2: up here is that I think Shady McCoy's longtime reign

1071
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 2: as a very relevant fantasy back if it wasn't already

1072
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,640
Speaker 2: dead last year, I think we can go ahead and

1073
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 2: put him down now because all Frank Gore does is

1074
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 2: come to teams, play well enough and hit all his

1075
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,400
Speaker 2: assignments to get snaps. And I don't see either of

1076
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 2: these running backs now playing any amount of significant snaps

1077
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 2: or get enough touches to be a fantasy factor. And

1078
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 2: yet if they do, now they got to deal with

1079
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 2: Josh Allen voltrig them every time they get close to

1080
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:26,080
Speaker 2: the goal line.

1081
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 1: Anyway, Yeah, I could seriously see Frank Gore out producing

1082
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,480
Speaker 1: Lashawn McCoy this year, which is just kind of amazing

1083
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 1: considering how old Gore is. Jamison Crowder signing with the

1084
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 1: Jets slotted to be their slot guy. What do you think?

1085
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Adam Gaze, head coach of the New York Jets,

1086
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 2: not the Bears. He has featured Wes Welker and Jarvis

1087
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 2: Landry like huge roles during his time in Denver and Miami.

1088
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 2: We've even seen like Eddie Royle back when he was

1089
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 2: with the Bears and Danny Amandola last year still average

1090
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 2: at least five targets per game from the slot.

1091
00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:01,279
Speaker 3: A huge Crowder guy.

1092
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,400
Speaker 2: But I do think this is a situation where he's

1093
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 2: gonna be getting at least five targets per game. I

1094
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 2: don't think he's really gonna be touching that potential Jarvis

1095
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: Landry eight to ten targets. I still think Robbie Anderson

1096
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,439
Speaker 2: will be the number one target getter in New York.

1097
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 3: Anythink ends up leading this team of targets?

1098
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 1: Oh? Man, I think Landry. Sorry, I think Crowder. Actually,

1099
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: I agree with you that he's not going to approach

1100
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: what Landry was able to do. But as you mentioned,

1101
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 1: like just even from the time he was the offensive

1102
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: coordinator with the Broncos, he was funneling targets to Wes Walker,

1103
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: Eric Decker and Emmanuel Sanders in the slot, and then

1104
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, even a Mondola saw some decent run last year,

1105
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: and I think that we should see probably something like

1106
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: in between what Crowder has historically seen and what a

1107
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: Mondola has historically seen, just in terms of targets, which

1108
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: I think could still give him something pretty close to

1109
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 1: like ninety five targets, maybe one hundred targets. I don't

1110
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 1: know how rested they are going to be in Robbie Anderson, like,

1111
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 1: I like him, but Darnold didn't really establish a super

1112
00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:10,240
Speaker 1: strong connection with either Anderson or in Nunua. And Gas

1113
00:53:10,360 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: is just a guy who likes the final targets to

1114
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: his slot receiver. And they you know, they did go

1115
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 1: out of their way to sign Crowder when they could

1116
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:20,640
Speaker 1: have signed someone else to play in the slot, So

1117
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: I like, I think they actually like him. That's why

1118
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 1: I'm expecting him to be the guy. But I don't

1119
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,439
Speaker 1: expect it to be like a huge target share.

1120
00:53:29,040 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 3: That's fair.

1121
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 1: Danny A Mondola h signing with the Lions. What do

1122
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:34,799
Speaker 1: you think it.

1123
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,879
Speaker 2: Would be the most detroit thing ever? If Stafford just

1124
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:42,200
Speaker 2: turns around and starts feeding Amintola like Golden Tate level targets.

1125
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 3: But I really think this is like their move to.

1126
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 2: Not do that anymore, because the two most efficient targets

1127
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 2: of Stafford's career minimum fifty targets have been Marvin Jones

1128
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 2: and Kenny Galladay. I mean, both these guys they can

1129
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 2: really work any area of the field. They got some speed,

1130
00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 2: they can go up and get the ball, and we've

1131
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 2: seen both of them do it consistently throughout the career.

1132
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 2: So getting someone out like Golden Tate that was demanding

1133
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 2: so many targets made sense for the overall ceialing of

1134
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 2: the offense. I'll tell you what, though, I'm excited to

1135
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 2: take Marvin Jones about four rounds after Kenny Galladay and

1136
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 2: all these season long drafts because.

1137
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 3: I mean, look, Kenny g is a baller, There's no

1138
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 3: debating that.

1139
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 2: But I think they're still pretty close comparables in terms

1140
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 2: of production for this year, and we have seen Marvin

1141
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 2: do a little bit longer than Kenny.

1142
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, we should think about this and maybe come up

1143
00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: with some sort of bet on it. I would bet

1144
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: on Galladay out producing him. I mean, I bet you

1145
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: prob that too, But you take the value with Jones

1146
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,279
Speaker 1: exactly yeah, okay, the final guy. And actually I think

1147
00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: kind of significant to talk about Carlos Hide signing with

1148
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, which you know potentially could mean some good

1149
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: things for Damian Williams. It's a question of how early

1150
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 1: do you want to draft him in the seasonal league,

1151
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: but there's some potential there. What do you think of

1152
00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde?

1153
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:00,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, so just figuring out who this starting running back

1154
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 2: is gonna be in Kansas City's so crucial. Kareem Hunt

1155
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 2: was the PPR RB six before he was cut last season.

1156
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 2: Damian Williams came in was the RB five from weeks

1157
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 2: to thirteen to seventeen. So originally when Hey got signed here,

1158
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 2: I was pessimistic towards Williams. I thought it was just

1159
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 2: a sign that we could see some type of a committee.

1160
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 2: But you changed my mind a little bit because this

1161
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 2: is Hides fourteen since twenty seventeen. He really doesn't offer

1162
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 2: much ability as a receiver. So it seems like Damian Williams,

1163
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 2: even as a worst case scenario here, we're still looking

1164
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,479
Speaker 2: at a guy that is going to play I would

1165
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 2: think sixty percent of snaps and get most of the

1166
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,399
Speaker 2: pass down work. Is that how you're kind of viewing

1167
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 2: this as well.

1168
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. And Williams, he's a guy

1169
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,960
Speaker 1: who in the NFL hasn't had much work, so that

1170
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: you can hold that against him, But I'm kind of

1171
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 1: taking the other perspective in that, like he's older, you know,

1172
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: relative to what you would typically expect out of the

1173
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: back who like might quote unquote breakout, but you know,

1174
00:55:59,040 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't have much on the tires and in college

1175
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: he was actually really productive. He's a big guy who's fast.

1176
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 1: You know, he has good athleticism, and he does have

1177
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:10,560
Speaker 1: this skill set of being able to catch the ball,

1178
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: which is very important for the Andy Reid offense. So yeah,

1179
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: he's someone I'm I'm very interested in and will probably

1180
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: be targeting in red draft leagues.

1181
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred percent.

1182
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,280
Speaker 2: It's just a matter of I don't know if Wallmes

1183
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 2: will be kind of a consensus first round pick or anything,

1184
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 2: because if.

1185
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,399
Speaker 3: He's not, he's going to be one of those guys in.

1186
00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 2: The second or third round where I think he gets

1187
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 2: drafted and everyone kind of groans because they're hoping he'd

1188
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 2: fall to him because I assuming he can't get that

1189
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 2: sixty percent or so snap role.

1190
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,040
Speaker 3: It's going to be nothing but good things now Mahomes offense.

1191
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, right now, he's not a first rounder, but I

1192
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 1: think he probably should be, and I think the closer

1193
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: we get to the start of the season, the higher

1194
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 1: his ADP is going to rise. So yeah, I think

1195
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: he's someone to get now if you are in best

1196
00:56:54,640 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: ball leagues, because you probably won't be able to get

1197
00:56:57,560 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: him or you won't want to get him later when

1198
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: you have to pay a higher price. Ian.

1199
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 2: Actually, Matt, we have one more guy to talk about.

1200
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,320
Speaker 2: Hot off the press, The Cowboys are giving former Packers

1201
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 2: wide receiver Randall Cobble one year, five million.

1202
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 3: Dollar deal to be their new Lott Cole Beasley.

1203
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: Thoughts, Yeah, I'm not really expecting much from him, just

1204
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: like I never really expected much from Cold Beavie. But

1205
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: it's not like one year for five million. I mean,

1206
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: he's not yet thirty. It's not a bad signing. I

1207
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: think that's actually a pretty decent signing. They don't have

1208
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: much to lose.

1209
00:57:32,280 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.

1210
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 2: I mean Beasley was talking about once over twenty million guaranteed,

1211
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 2: so at the very least, I mean it's putting an

1212
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 2: approven guy into a position indeed that they were still

1213
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 2: a tyle slower receiver and talking about putting Alan Hearns there.

1214
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 2: So from that perspective, I'm fine with that.

1215
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the thing is, I think Beasley at this

1216
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,600
Speaker 1: point in their careers is probably more athletic than RADL. Cobb,

1217
00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: even though Cop is younger.

1218
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, that's fair.

1219
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 2: It's been a few years since we've seen Cobb kind

1220
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 2: of resemble that early career dynamic playmakers.

1221
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, but not a not a bad signing,

1222
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: only five million, that's not bad at all. All right,

1223
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 1: that is going to do it For this episode of
