Speaker 2: here's your host, Paul Charge.

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. Our slog through each of

7
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: the off season divisions continues shows.

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 3: You know what the show that you and Fish had

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 3: last week, it was it was super fun. I enjoyed

10
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 3: listening to your greasy belly flop.

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: Creamy belly flop, and it was fantastic.

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,639
Speaker 3: You guys did a great job. Thank And if you're

13
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,959
Speaker 3: not listening to that show, I encourage you to go

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: yeah about that podcast episode, to go back to that

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 3: good stuff.

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: It was. Uh, nobody ever breaks down belly flops anymore,

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: so we're here for.

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: That fantasy belly flops. Yeah, absolutely exactly.

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: So the premise as we as we go through this

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: month long tour of all not a slog, it's now

21
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: a tour. I've upgraded from slog to tour. Uh, look

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: at every NFL team, highlight the key differences from last year.

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: Do we think these offenses are better? Do we think

24
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: they're worse, you know, just get up to speed on

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: all these different teams. Sure, we now turn our attention

26
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: to the AFC West and the NFC West, Matt, and

27
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: this is your first crack at it. We'll start with

28
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Kansas City. They get to go first.

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: You do want to start with the Super Bowl.

30
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: When you win the Super Bowl, you get to go

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: first on Fantasy Football Week.

32
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, for additions and subtractions, Marquise Brown signed a

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: one year deal there. The speedy Xavier Worthy was the

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 3: Chief's first round pick. He should slot in a lot

35
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: of wide receiver packages immediately. Uh, they did add Carson

36
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 3: Wentz very quietly as the backup there.

37
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 4: I like that move.

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: I kind of like that move as well. Irv Smith

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: now backing up Travis Kelcey. And addition by subtraction, maybe

40
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: Marquez Veldez Scandling he's gone, Mikole Hardman, he's gone. A

41
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 3: possible subtraction of Rashie Rice, who keeps getting an off

42
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 3: season trouble. But we'll have to pay attention to that

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: as we get closer to the season. Starting in the

44
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: passing game, you still got Mahomes, Kelsey and Rice as

45
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: your core. That just won you the Super Bowl. I'm

46
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: feeling pretty good as a starting point right there. And

47
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: you've added a steady veteran in Hollywood Brown, who gets

48
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: some streaks of eye popping numbers in the past. He's

49
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: been pretty good along the lines.

50
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 1: And obviously with the best passer he's ever worked with. Absolutely,

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: and if Xavier Worthy's not able to contribute early, you

52
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: know Marquise Brown is going to be an intriguing guy

53
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: to pick your spots to play.

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 3: Well, especially if Rashie Rice is facing any kind of

55
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: suspension or disciplinary action from the league. But I do

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 3: think if Xavier Worthy flashes in camp in the preseason,

57
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: I think they involve him right away. I think I

58
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: think it'll be quicker than you think. The Chiefs did

59
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 3: have eight different wide receivers average at least one target

60
00:02:59,240 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 3: per game.

61
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 4: That's a lot.

62
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: How do you do that? It's impossible. Justin Watson and

63
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: Sky Moore are currently the depth pieces on the roster.

64
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 3: Kadarius Tony still under contract as well, but he hasn't

65
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: played a snap since Week fifteen of last year. Tony

66
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,679
Speaker 3: likely only makes the roster if there's an injury or

67
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: a right I think he gets cut for better or

68
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 3: worse on the on the passing game, I think Brown

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: and Worthy are additions that have to make their passing

70
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: game look a little bit better than last year.

71
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: Especially from a big play standpoint.

72
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: You know we've seen we think of classic Mahomes and

73
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill Was there are just these long, deep bombs

74
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: that would connect in the big plays. Just year after

75
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: year that is slowly decreased, Shorter passes, fewer big plays.

76
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: Now with Brown and Worthy, you feel like the Chiefs

77
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: and Mahomes are ready to strike downfield again.

78
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think that that's a fair assumption

79
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 3: on the running side of the game. Maybe I'm wrong,

80
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: but Isaiah Pacheco looks primed to be an absolute bel

81
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 3: cow this year. In games where Pacheco touched the ball

82
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: fewer than fifteen times, the Chiefs had a record of

83
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 3: one in three. In games that the Chiefs won, Pacheco

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 3: averaged twenty point three touches. Wow. He played eighteen games

85
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 3: last year, including the playoffs. He scored a touchdown in

86
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: eleven of them. Now, he's not gonna put up like

87
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey numbers or anything like that. But in this

88
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 3: running back landscape, which it's harder to find guys who

89
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 3: get huge shares of touches. I think Isaiah Pacheco sitting

90
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 3: on a pretty good opportunity here. There were only fourteen

91
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: running backs who had averaged seventeen touches per game last season,

92
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 3: and he was one of them. Devon a Chain, for instance,

93
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 3: he averaged eleven point eight touches per game. He's going

94
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 3: a full two rounds ahead of Pacheco's ADP of forty

95
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: or the mid fourth round. Yea. The backups are Clyde

96
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: Edwards E Laire and Keyante ingram Over for Arizona non factor,

97
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 3: non factors at all. I'm clearing of them at all.

98
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 3: So better or worse is you can probably tell. I'm

99
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: pretty bullish on Isaiah Pacheco, you know, maybe popping off

100
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: and being a top five back at the end of

101
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 3: the year that you can get in the fourth round.

102
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, if, if, if he's my first running back taken, he's.

103
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 3: Right.

104
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: I never I've never taken running backs in the first

105
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: three rounds, but he's.

106
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: A perfect fourth round guy to start your running back.

107
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yea, I love it. Do you think the running

108
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: game gets better this year?

109
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 3: I think it does. I think I think with all

110
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: the opportunities that the passing game has, I think Pacheco

111
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: is sitting on a good year. Here, let's go to

112
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 3: the Raiders.

113
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: Raiders brought back interim head coach Antonio Peers in the offseason,

114
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: and then he inexplicably hired former Bears offensive coordinator Luke

115
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: Getzi why, I don't know whatever, overhauled their offensive line

116
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas, in including putting second and third round

117
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: picks into their offensive line, which should help what it

118
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: was last year basically a middle of the pack to

119
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: slightly below average unit passing game. Here is the big

120
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: story is the addition of rookie tight end Brock Bauers.

121
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: Matt unexpectedly slid to pick thirteen in the NFL Draft,

122
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: and I think at that point the Raiders like, we

123
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: just got to take the best guy off the board,

124
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: even though they had taken the first tight end off

125
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: the board the previous year as well. You know, I

126
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 1: think in a different year, when six quarterbacks weren't drafted

127
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: in the top twelve picks, Bowers would have been like

128
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: a top five guy besides on talent, besides all the

129
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: way to number number thirteen. He brings the most college

130
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: production and fantasy optimism as a rookie since TJ. Hockinson,

131
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: Vernon Davis, Jeremy Shockey, from Old Guys, Kyle Pitts, Yep,

132
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 1: Yep Raiders took. I mentioned Michael Mayer was the draft

133
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: pick last year.

134
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 4: His dynasty value.

135
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Just got destroyed. Did Yeah, that's it's he is officially

136
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: dead at this point.

137
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 3: That unfortunately, it is.

138
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: It's It was a quick it was a quick life,

139
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: the life and times of Michael Mayer. It's over unless

140
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: Aiden O'Connell gets a lot better. Gardner, Minshew's going to

141
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: take over a quarterback, Matt.

142
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 3: I think it's Minshew's job. I think that they signed

143
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 3: him to a pretty decent contract. Yeah, to say that

144
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: h's his job.

145
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: He was non awful last year, is in he's starting quarterback?

146
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: I think we'd say, said Gardner, Minshew is just non awful.

147
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 4: That's just what he is.

148
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: That's right. He had a handful of good games, And

149
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: so I was looking back at Minshew's stats as somebody

150
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: most was didn't start most weeks. He'd have these spike games, Matt,

151
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: where if you did start him, you got paid. But

152
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: here was the catch. They were totally unguessable. It came

153
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: against a great Cleveland secondary, a great New Orleans secondary, Pittsburgh,

154
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, these great defense You never would have started

155
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew in those games, and that was what he

156
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: went up.

157
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: You know, you know what Gardner Minshew is going to become.

158
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 3: He's going to be come Stu Beard. Yeah.

159
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: Maybe, so he's going to be like that, Like that guy.

160
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: Pass around to eighteen different teams, start for all of them,

161
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: put up a couple of crazy six touchdown games when

162
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 3: you're like, what, I should have had him in my lineup? Yeah?

163
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Minshew caps the upside for all the Raiders receivers.

164
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: His top receiver last year was Michael Pittman. He only

165
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: scored four times. Minshew finished twenty seventh in a dot.

166
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: I don't love that. The deep deep ball completion percentage

167
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: was just thirty nine percent. That was that nestled him

168
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: between Josh Dobbs and Will Levis in deep ball pass

169
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: That's not good. That's not good. Thirty third in completion

170
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 1: percentage at all depths. So it's just it's you know,

171
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: this offense is just capped by the quarterback position. Unfortunately,

172
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: Devanta Adams managed an okase season despite the quarterbacking of

173
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: Adian O'Connell and Jimmy Garoppolo and Brian Hoyer. You remember

174
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: those starts? Ah, Yes, Yeah, Adams finished his wide receiver

175
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: four teen. He was fifth in targets, which proves that

176
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: just volume alone can't propel DeVante Adams to greatness. I mean,

177
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: he needs better quarterbacking. He's not gonna have it here.

178
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: Devanta Adams ADP very high. I think he's wide receiver nine.

179
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: He finished his fourteen last year. He's on the second

180
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: half of his career.

181
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 3: Arc.

182
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: I don't that feels a little bit high. You can

183
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: get Jacoby Myers with what a nice season? Yeah, wide

184
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: receiver fifty four.

185
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: And I don't think that you're getting much of a

186
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:33,719
Speaker 3: drop off there.

187
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 4: No, the drop offs not that severe.

188
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, but that's only if you really want to

189
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: have a Raiders wide receiver on your team.

190
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: Yes, and if I do, I'm paying. If I'm paying

191
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: for one at their ADP Jacoby Myers pick one hundred

192
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: and twenty two, not DeVante Adams pick fifteen.

193
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: I'm kind of shocked that DeVante Adams has not demanded

194
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: a trade.

195
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am too, to be honest, I mean, this

196
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: isn't what he signed up for. No, right, you know?

197
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: So, yeah, you're probably right, and maybe that ends up

198
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: happening that maybe maybe let's move over to the Denver Broncos.

199
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Russell Wilson is gone. That's the biggest

200
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 3: change there.

201
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: Wait, hold on, I forgot the whole running game for

202
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Oh gosh, give me a second.

203
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 3: Well, Russell Wilson ran against the Raiders. Thank you. Nice try.

204
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, massive change here as Josh Jacobs was allowed to

205
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: leave in free agency. Zamir Whites your presumed starter, Matt,

206
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: and you'll remember he got some reps as the starter

207
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: in the last month of the season last year, and

208
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: he got some long looks. He had a seventeen attempt game,

209
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: a twenty two attempt game, a twenty attempt game, a

210
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: twenty five attempt game.

211
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: And we love volume.

212
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: You alluded to this with Checko hard to find volume backs,

213
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,359
Speaker 1: but Antonio Pierce like seems to like his workhorse backs.

214
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: I thought White looked pretty good some explosive runs. In

215
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: Zamir White's four starts, he had seven runs of more

216
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 1: than ten yards. His backup is now Alexander Madison. He

217
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: had explosive run rates of double that.

218
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 4: Of Alexander Madison, which is in sane a lot.

219
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: White only scored one touchdown in those four starts, but

220
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison's no threat to steal touchdowns. Dude never scores.

221
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: So White's ADP is really interesting. It's our running back

222
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: twenty three seventy seventh overall, despite being a high volume

223
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,079
Speaker 1: workhorseback with no competition for goal line work.

224
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 4: I think he's a due the opposite magnet in the

225
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 4: seventh round.

226
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

227
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. Maybe the offensive line gets better as well. With

228
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: the improvements that they made, they reshuffling this offensive line,

229
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: I think this running back running game for Las Vegas

230
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: gets a little bit better, all right. Now, the aforementioned

231
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson in Denver.

232
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: He's gone.

233
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 4: He's gone.

234
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 3: Jerry Judy gone as well, was traded to Cleveland, and

235
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 3: starting center Lloyd cushion Berry, the third signed to the

236
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 3: biggest center contract in the history of the league with Tennessee.

237
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 3: So he's gone as well.

238
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: Lloyd cushion Berry Thugh, Yeah.

239
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 3: That's a pretty good name. The coaching staff under Sean

240
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: Payton and coordinators stayed exactly the same. The biggest addition

241
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 3: is new quarterback Bo Nix, who the Broncos took with

242
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 3: the twelve pick. They also added wide receiver Troy Franklin

243
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 3: in the fourth and audrich Estime in the fifth. Passing game.

244
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 3: It all flows through bow Knix, who is the presumed

245
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: opening day starter. Nicks known for his highly accurate short

246
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 3: passing game. He completed seventy four point nine percent of

247
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,439
Speaker 3: his passes at Oregon over the last two years.

248
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: Which in itself is impressive, but you know, his a

249
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: dot was like five yards.

250
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: He also had seventy four touchdown passes to only ten

251
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 3: interceptions in that spans, so the numbers were good. Obviously,

252
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 3: it's a step up and level of play. And he's

253
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: not known for the long ball, but when Peyton was

254
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: coaching in Drew Brees or Drew Brees in New Orleans,

255
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 3: Breese wasn't really known as a bomber either. And if

256
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: you remember correctly, Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram caught a

257
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 3: ton of balls out of the backfield. Yeah, and I

258
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 3: mentioned this in the First Round Aftermath podcast that we

259
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: did a couple of weeks ago. The last year the

260
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 3: Broncos running backs were targeted one hundred and fifty times,

261
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: and they led the league with one hundred and thirty

262
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 3: one receptions.

263
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 4: Impressive.

264
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: Uh. Some may be excited about Courtland Sutton's role maybe

265
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 3: increasing with the loss of Jerry Judy, but his a

266
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 3: dot last year was a very deep fourteen point four deep,

267
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 3: and of wide receivers who had at least eighty targets

268
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: last year, only four players had a longer a dot

269
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 3: than Sutton. That was Mike Evans, DeAndre Hopkins, Brandon Ayuk

270
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 3: and DK Metcalf.

271
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: Well, that, well, that's what I want.

272
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 3: I want.

273
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: I want receivers who get thrown too deep and can

274
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: catch it.

275
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, but ken Bow nicks through.

276
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: Well, Okay, that's a fair question. That's that's that That's

277
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: a fair question.

278
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 3: That's the question. Yeah. So with that said, I don't

279
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 3: think the quality of targets goes up for Sutton, and

280
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: I think you're completely reliant on him duplicating his ten

281
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 3: touchdowns they had last season. I'm I'm a little shaky

282
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 3: on that one at best. If you're excited about Josh Reynolds,

283
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 3: Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin, Tim Patrick, Lil Jordan Humphrey fighting

284
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 3: over the number two and number three scraps in this offense. Yes,

285
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: you can be that. Nobody's going to be Does it

286
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 3: get better or worse this year? I think it's worse.

287
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: From a touchdown perspective. The Broncos quarterbacks combined for twenty

288
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 3: nine touchdown passes. That was the fifth most in the

289
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 3: league last year. That's strange.

290
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: That is weird.

291
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: Wow that they had the fifth most.

292
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 4: I'm shocked.

293
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: So Nix is not sitting on twenty nine touchdown passes

294
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 3: this year, not even close.

295
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: I bet he's if he've plays the whole season, I'd

296
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: put Nix on twenty yeah.

297
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: So I was thinking half of that maybe, so fifteen

298
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: to twenty yeah. I think it gets worse for the

299
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: Broncos on the passing side. On the running game. What's

300
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 3: exciting about the running game is that it what's not exciting,

301
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 3: I should say, is that it could be a fourth right,

302
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: a foe headed lizard. I wanted to say monster, but

303
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 3: it's definitely not a monster. It's just a little lizard.

304
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: Are you in hydra territory? How many heads do you

305
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 1: have to have to become a I mean he's like

306
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: two enough could be a hydra.

307
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 3: You cut one head off and another two grow, right.

308
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: Oh, so it's it's like a starfish.

309
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

310
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: Okay, the Denver starfish backfield, not the Rusty starfish. That's

311
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: totally different.

312
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 3: Okay is that an urban dictionary? So I believe it

313
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: is Javante Williams, samaj p Ryan, Jaleel McLoughlin, and newly

314
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 3: drafted Audric Estimate all in the running back room. Worth

315
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 3: noting that Javante did hold the biggest piece of the pie.

316
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 3: He was on the field for forty eight percent of

317
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: the snaps last year, he had fifty four percent of

318
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: the rushing attempts, and maybe most notably, he took forty

319
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 3: seven percent of the rushing attempts inside the five yard line.

320
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: But as we mentioned above, this offense could flow through

321
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: the running backs via the passing game more and that's

322
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: where the other names come into play. Williams averaged three

323
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 3: point four targets per game, not bad. P Ryan had

324
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 3: three point one. McLoughlin had two point one. So wrap

325
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 3: those eight and a half target it's per game into

326
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: one back. I'm really excited, right, But you're probably not

327
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: looking at that. You're probably looking at three and maybe four.

328
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: So but McLoughlin is the guy That fascinates me because

329
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: he showed some special traits and we didn't get long

330
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: looks at him. We didn't, but I he was the

331
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: guy who seemed to pop off the off off the screen.

332
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 3: To me, if if Samaj pe Rin wasn't in Denver,

333
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 3: I would totally be all in on McLoughlin as like

334
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: a sleeper guy this year. I just feel like they

335
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 3: signed Samaj p Ran and told him he was gonna

336
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 3: play last year. That was like Sean Payton's personal like

337
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 3: promise to him. So it's like it's like he could

338
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: be cut. You never know, he could be traded. But

339
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 3: Javonte's going off the board at pick eighty four, that's

340
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 3: the last pick of the seventh round. McLoughlin is at

341
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: one seventy four, that's middle of the fifteenth and RB

342
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 3: fifty six. Pe Urine's going basically on drafted at two five.

343
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm out at him, But with Javante getting

344
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 3: as much of the running piece of the pie that

345
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: he's getting, I actually kind of like Javante where he's going.

346
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 3: I think he's a boring, sneaky upside play the tail

347
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 3: end of the seventh round or early eighth yep, does

348
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 3: it get better or we're slightly better because of the

349
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 3: ppr angle for the backs.

350
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: Let's go over the Chargers, the last team of the

351
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: AFC West that we'll talk about. Massive overhaul to the

352
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: entire offensive coaching staff Jim Harbaugh and now offensive coordinator

353
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: Greg Roman and offensive line added tackled Joe Alt with

354
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: a fifth overall pick, which makes it the third straight

355
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: year the Chargers have invested a first round pick into

356
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: their offensive line. M It's there were Sea Slater's. Yep,

357
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: you know this is so classic Jim Harbaugh and Greg

358
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: Roman and God love him.

359
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 4: Because it's gonna pay off.

360
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: It's gonna work. Yep. It might be two or three years,

361
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: but it's gonna work.

362
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,919
Speaker 1: So Mike Williams, let's start with the passing game for

363
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Mike Williams released Keenan Allen traded to the

364
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: Bears last year's first round or Quinton Johnson moves into

365
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: like the number one, you know, go to receiver role

366
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: after a dismal rookie season and despite all those injuries

367
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 1: of the Chargers wideouts last year, Johnson was still very

368
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 1: lightly used. He only was running twenty eight routes. Per

369
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: game and getting targeted three and a half times per

370
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: game and he only cut two passes per game. It

371
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: was a bad year for Quinton Johnson. He's going to

372
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: see in sizeable uptick in usage now because.

373
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 3: He has to.

374
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, and maybe his pedigree here kicks in and you know,

375
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: he becomes worthy of the first round pick that he

376
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: had a couple of weeks ago. The Chargers GM Joe

377
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: Hortitz said that Johnson is going to launch. That was

378
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: his word, launch this season. So hopefully that's the case.

379
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: You can get him almost for free wide receiver sixty

380
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: five off the board pick one fifty three.

381
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's nothing, that is nothing.

382
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: The team also drafted Lad McConkey in the second round,

383
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: and I think he's going to start over Josh Palmer.

384
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 3: He ran you say, Colin mccochney, Colin.

385
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: Mc coy I like it related.

386
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm sure they both come from the same British.

387
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's slippery, he gets a lot of separation. We've

388
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: we've broken him down a couple of times with Thor

389
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: in previous shows. I like Lad mcconckie. I think he's

390
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: gonna be better than Quentin Johnson. All probability. But you know,

391
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: Johnson might get a lot better than your two. Like

392
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: I said, so maybe maybe we're not wrong.

393
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 3: There's room for two widers.

394
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: Well it's a good point, and it's not like the

395
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: tight end position is soaking up a bunch, so they

396
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: could both be, you know, better than expected. If you

397
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: were wondering where DJ Chark landed, it was here exactly.

398
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 1: Get this where Justin Herbert has plummeted down to quarterback sixteen.

399
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah, that's cheap.

400
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 4: That is cheap on him. Now.

401
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: Part of it, of course, is that we know they're

402
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:59,679
Speaker 1: going to run a lot, and so everybody's expecting the

403
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: v volume to go way way down in the passing game,

404
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: and I do two. I think the passing game overall

405
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: gets worse. I'm gonna see a ton of running. I'm

406
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: gonna explain some of this in just a minute. And

407
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: then you take off Keenan Allen and Michael Mike Williams

408
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: and replace him with two a first year player and

409
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: a second year receiver, and the passing game likely suffers here,

410
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 1: I could Yeah, all right, let's go the running game,

411
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: where it's a lot more interesting for the Chargers. If

412
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: history is any indication Harbaugh and Roman are going to

413
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: have the most run heavy offense in the entire league,

414
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: even though they've got Justin Herbert and he's great. Greg

415
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: Rowman at Baltimore as offensive coordinator, his run play percentage

416
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: ranks or most runs, the most runs, the eleventh most runs,

417
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: and the third most runs. So obviously, you know, Lamar

418
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: Jackson skews those rankings a little bit because he was

419
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: doing some of the running. But even without Jackson, the

420
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: Ravens runners alone, we're averaging twenty one carries per game.

421
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: We are going to see a ton of running here.

422
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: Harbaugh did not pick Greg Roman by accident. You know

423
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: that is because Greg Roman is fit what he wants

424
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: to do.

425
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: Brother might have said, hey, Greg Roman's right, pretty good,

426
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 3: you might want to go there.

427
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler, of course, is gone. He's in Washington now.

428
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,360
Speaker 1: And Roman brought over familiar faces from Baltimore JK Dobmins

429
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards. But both of those guys never the same

430
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: since they're acls.

431
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that happened in consecutive weeks.

432
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 4: Tell me about it.

433
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 3: God, those murdering I remember those murdering my fantasy teams,

434
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 3: those radio shows and podcasts.

435
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: Yes, it was like no near suicidal. Many of many

436
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: people are intrigued by six round rookie kamani Vidal. So

437
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: his bed is, he's five foot seven, two thirteen pounds.

438
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: He's a bowling ball. Very productive at Troy. I know

439
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: you're breaking down a lot of Troy all twenty two. Yeah,

440
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 1: becoming the all time leading rusher, including two thousand and

441
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: seven hundred rushing yards the last two seasons. Wow, that

442
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: is a lot of productivity for kimani Vidal. But the

443
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: problem is Gus Edwards and JK. Dobbins are powerbacks two

444
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: and this looks like a frustrating time share for me.

445
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: I I much like what Roman had when he was in.

446
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,040
Speaker 3: Baltimore coaching Dobbins.

447
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: Dobbins and Edwards, you know where he would use both

448
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, and so this could be a three

449
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: way time share. I'm even though the volumes gonna be

450
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: really high. I'm nervous about guessing week to week. Is

451
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: this a gust game? Is this a Dobbins game? Does

452
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: Thedal get worked in?

453
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 3: Sure? It's you know, you know how you play this

454
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 3: Chargers backfield. You don't draft any of them. You wait

455
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 3: till like week two, and somebody will one of them

456
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 3: is gonna emerge and look like the better back, and

457
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: then you can trade for them for peanuts because everybody's

458
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 3: gonna be like sell high on Yes Edwards. That's how

459
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 3: you want to play it. Yeah, like you you don't.

460
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 3: You don't after Chargers back.

461
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: So does the running game get better worse? I think

462
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: better overall productivity because the run heavy approach that's coming.

463
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: And then you add in Joe Alt at tackle. You

464
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: know there's gonna be some big, big running lanes for

465
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: this offensive line, but it might be more frustrating for

466
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: fantasy use because of the probable and unpredictable shared backfield

467
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: in LA.

468
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 4: You want to do the NFC North.

469
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: No, we're gonna do the NFC West, But we got

470
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: to take first Church.

471
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,919
Speaker 1: Yes, you're gonna take a break, thank you, not the

472
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: NFC Dord.

473
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 3: We can do that in next week's show.

474
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,359
Speaker 1: Let's do that next week. Let's take a break. In

475
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: the meantime, we'll be back and we'll talk about the

476
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,919
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers hang out. Welcome back Fantasy

477
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,479
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Matt Harrison. I don't think

478
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: it properly introduced you at the beginning, because you did.

479
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 3: You start talking over like, blah blah blah blah blah blah.

480
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 1: We've been to get fantasy. People know they all, they

481
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: all know you met Shock Fantasy, and you've got a

482
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: promo code for Fantasy Football Weekly Listeners.

483
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 3: Gosh, I do, but I don't have it written. I

484
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 3: think it's I think it's f F probably if I'll

485
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: make it FFW by the end of the show.

486
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: It's like, if I remember correctly, it's twenty percent off

487
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: something like that.

488
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, probably half off.

489
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: Oh you know, are you up in the stakes right now?

490
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 3: I'll up it. Let's let's let's say this. It'll be

491
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 3: FFW and it'll be fifty percent off until the end

492
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: of June.

493
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, binding oral contract. There we go, right there. Yeah,

494
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 4: all right.

495
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to the NFC West and the San Francisco

496
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: forty nine ers.

497
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: Not a ton of changes on the offensive side of

498
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: the ball. The most notable change is Josh Dobbs goes

499
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 3: from Minnesota to San Francisco and Sam Darnold goes from

500
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 3: San Francisco to Minnesota. Yeah, Ricky Pearsall was added as

501
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 3: a wide receiver with a late first round pick, but

502
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 3: he's squarely fourth on the depth chart right now the

503
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 3: passing game. I'm just gonna read off the names you

504
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 3: brock Perty, Brandon Ayuk, Tebo Samuel, George Kittle, Juwan Jennings,

505
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 3: then Ricky pearsall and the best receiving running back in

506
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 3: the NFL, and Christian McCaffrey.

507
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 4: That doesn't bode well.

508
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: Oh, piersoll and also one of the best offensive play

509
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 3: callers in the league. And Kyle Shanahan.

510
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 4: So and by the way, I love Juwan Jennings. I'm

511
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: a huge Jean Jennings guy.

512
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 3: Good point.

513
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: He got a new deal a couple of days ago.

514
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 1: He is a he is a solid wide receiver. And

515
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: because he's such a good blocker, one of the best

516
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: blocking receivers. He's on the field a lot that is

517
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: going to block, It's gonna see block. Ricky Pearsol Yeah,

518
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm getting on the field.

519
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 3: Wow. Brandon Ayuk has been the squeaky wheel all off season.

520
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: He wants an extension or maybe even a trade. The

521
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 3: Niners have supposedly been working on him. With that, the

522
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 3: price keeps getting higher and higher, though Amon Ross Saint Brown,

523
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 3: Nico Collins, and Jalen Wattle just recently had contract extensions.

524
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 3: The only way this goes south for this passing offense

525
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 3: is if they can't figure it out, trade Ayuk, and

526
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: even then I think they still be okay.

527
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 4: They got plenty of talent here.

528
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 3: I mean, if you're super high on Piersaw, he's totally blocked.

529
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 3: Deebo and Eye Yuk are on the field almost every snap,

530
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: Kittle CMC and Kyle Yuschek, who's on the field fifty

531
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 3: five percent of the time. The Niners extended Jennings through

532
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty five season. I don't see a downturn,

533
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 3: But I don't see a way that Pearsol's getting on

534
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: the field for more than like fifteen twenty snaps a game.

535
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: Maybe no agreed, and maybe he's just a special teams guy.

536
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 3: The running game, you have Christian McCaffrey. He's going off

537
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 3: at one one. The only thing that can derail McCaffrey

538
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 3: as injury, which we have seen from him in the

539
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 3: past when he was in Carolina.

540
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:33,360
Speaker 4: It feels like a million years ago.

541
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: It's funny Weir I was talking about Christian McCaffrey with

542
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: somebody a couple of days ago, and it was just,

543
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, a casual fantasy player, just regular fantasy player,

544
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: not somebody in the industry. And he was like, yeah,

545
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: you know, I got Christian McCaffrey on my dynasty's team.

546
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 4: I just I love that he plays every game.

547
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: And I'm like, it wasn't that long ago when he

548
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: was with the Panthers and he was like the biggest

549
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: risk there was. It's funny how short our memory has

550
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 1: gotten on those Panther days when he was a constant

551
00:26:58,800 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: soft tissue injury.

552
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was twenty twenty and twenty twenty one when

553
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 3: he missed those games. He's been an iron man in

554
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: his two years in San Francisco. Worth noting, though he

555
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 3: turns twenty eight in June, the mileage is very high

556
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 3: for that body, and with that in mind, the Niners

557
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 3: could pull back from his workload just a little bit

558
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 3: to try to preserve his body for another deep playoff run.

559
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 3: They didn't really do that last year, not at all.

560
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: Many of us thought they would and they never did.

561
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Elijah Mitchell, I think everybody agrees he's a

562
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 3: pretty capable backup. He had twenty twenty three total yards

563
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three and had twenty one total touchdowns.

564
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 3: That was his best season as a pro. It was

565
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: on three hundred and thirty nine touches. It's a lot,

566
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 3: and he had three hundred and twenty nine touches the

567
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 3: year before? So will it be better or worse than

568
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: mccaffreys To be worse, it has to be worse. He

569
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 3: can't outperform one one, so you're drafting him at one one.

570
00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 3: I agree with the pick, but you can't expect him

571
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 3: to duplicate last year's numbers or increase on it.

572
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: Somebody out there has done the math or will do

573
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: the math on other players who have had the nearly

574
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: seven hundred touches the McCaffrey has had the last two years.

575
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 4: And what happens the next year?

576
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: Because I bet the I bet in.

577
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 4: Carolinia, it may have.

578
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 1: It may have. Yeh, yeah, all right, let's go to

579
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: Let's go to the La Rams after San Francisco. No

580
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: meaningful changes in the passing game at all. Jettison jettisoning

581
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: Ben Scronic does not really count as.

582
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 3: A meaningful all.

583
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: So Cooper Cup returns healthy, which is nice, but he's

584
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: now each thirty and appears to be really the second

585
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: option in the passing game behind Pooka Nkua. Man his

586
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: targets Cooper Cup's targets dropped from eleven per game two

587
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: years ago last year down to eight. That's a big change,

588
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: and his downfield target rate fell badly as well. Now

589
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: working four Cup, he enters the season healthy and last

590
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: year he never really seemed like himself. Rolled into the

591
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: season with a hamstring and it just it just never

592
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: seemed to get right for him. And working against Cup.

593
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: You know I mentioned he's gonna he's age age thirty.

594
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna turn thirty one into the season. You know,

595
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: a lot of good receivers start showing their age right

596
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: in here.

597
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: Yep. And you know.

598
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: Time all is the ultimate winner. There's no beating time,

599
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: and maybe this is going to be his time. Poka

600
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 1: and Akua obviously exploding on the scene.

601
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 4: Looks fantastic.

602
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: Nicula right now going off the board wide receiver six

603
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: ninth pick Wow, all, yes, Cup going off the board

604
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver twenty one, round three.

605
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 3: And which one do you would you rather have?

606
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 1: This is a harder one. I mean that that Pooka

607
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: spot is high, but Sean mcva but we've seen Sean

608
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: McVay power receivers to gigantic years.

609
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 4: I think i'd take Nikola.

610
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, in these scenarios we are are Fantasy Football Weekly

611
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: co host. As you know, we almost all go the

612
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: second guy, the lower guy.

613
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 4: I think i'd rather of Nikola.

614
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with the first guy for all of them, just.

615
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: To be different. I wouldn't blame you.

616
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: He's better.

617
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say the passing game here is basically

618
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: the same. I don't think this is really a situation

619
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: where it gets a lot better or worse because almost

620
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: nothing has changed. Okay, the running game, this is a

621
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: lot more complex. Kieron Williams outlook changed a lot when

622
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: they drafted Blake.

623
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 4: Korum in round three.

624
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: So Williams fit had a tremendous season. Kudos to Brian

625
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 1: Johnson one last time we talked about him many times

626
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: last year he was he was begging people to in

627
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: the offseason to draft Kirian Williams. He finished his running

628
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: back three last year. That was a huge hit for

629
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: Brian and a huge hit for the Rams. But here's

630
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: the thing. You everybody knows Blake Korum was awesome. Last

631
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: year for Jim harborught Michigan, Korm had a ton of

632
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 1: highlight plays using his low center of gravity to break

633
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: a tackle and then bounce outside and just take off.

634
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: He's got he doesn't have like track star speed, but

635
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: he's got footballs and he had these massive lanes to

636
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: run through at Michigan, and some do worry about how

637
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: that's going to translate in the NFL. He's got to

638
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: make more of his own yards. But here's the thing

639
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: that a lot of people don't realize and I did

640
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: not realize this. The Rams offensive line as run blockers

641
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: finished fifth by Pro Football Focus.

642
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 3: That helps open something.

643
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, that does. Remember when the offensive line was a

644
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: disaster two years ago. Credit the Rams for getting it

645
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: back up to this level at least as run blockers.

646
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: And as McVeigh proved with Pukinakua mat he'll play rookies

647
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: and immediately, I mean pookau Is Game one was breakout game.

648
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: So you know, Blake Corn figures to factor in here.

649
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: Last year when Willie when Williams was really the only

650
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: game in town for the Rams, he averaged twenty carries

651
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: per game. One of the few workhorse guys so will

652
00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: Sean McVay use a timeshare in the three season since

653
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley was dominant for the Rams? Really, McVeigh used

654
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: almost all split backfields, Sony Michelle, Darryl Henderson, Malcolm Brown,

655
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: cam Akers. My god, remember these guys. This isn't even

656
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: a long time ago, right, This is the running back

657
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: position in a nutshell, It's like two years ago, right,

658
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 1: like all those guys. Yes, So you know, I just

659
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,959
Speaker 1: think last year Williams got the workhorse role because everybody

660
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: else sucked.

661
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 3: There was nobody there, No, it was Royce Freeman was

662
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 3: the next best runner. Sorry, Royce dropped the piano. Freeman,

663
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 3: Well done your ADPs right now? Kyron Williams running back

664
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 3: seven in round two, Okay, nope, yeah, I'm paying it.

665
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 3: I'd rather have Isaiah Pachico in.

666
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: Round four, round four, Blake Korum running back thirty nine, round.

667
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 4: Eleven in sign me up? Yep?

668
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: Does it get better or worse this year for the

669
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: running game for the Rams? I think it gets worse

670
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: for fantasy because carm and Williams are going to share

671
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 1: more than fantasy managers want to believe. All right, let's

672
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: go to our next team that is the Seattle Seahawks.

673
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 3: Well, let's start with what happened there in the offseason.

674
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll and his staff are out after what like

675
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: forty years there. Yeah, former Ravens DC Mike McDonald is

676
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 3: the new head coach, and Ryan Grubb became the offensive

677
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 3: coordinator and he didn't even have to change area codes.

678
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: He held the same position at the University of Washington.

679
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: Not too many huge on field personnel changes in the offense.

680
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: It is notable that it's a new staff and they

681
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 3: traded for Sam Howell, which gets me right into the

682
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 3: passing game, where Gino Smith currently listed as the starter,

683
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 3: and the coaching staff has stated publicly that that's going

684
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 3: to continue. There's reports out there that McDonald said that

685
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: Sam Howell knows he's the backup but believes he has

686
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: a bright future.

687
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 4: So I do, honestly, I do too.

688
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: I see Howell as a great candidate as a reclamation

689
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: project after he absorbed one point eight million sacks last year.

690
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much.

691
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: And got was in a bad offense with the coaching

692
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: staff that got fired, and I could see Sam Howell

693
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: being rebuilt over time into a functional NFL starter.

694
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: Well to that point, Gino is under contract this year

695
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 3: and for twenty twenty five, but the cap hit to

696
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 3: get out from his contract next year is only thirteen million,

697
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: So feasibly, if Smith falters this year and Howell gets

698
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 3: a shot and is successful, the path is pretty clear

699
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 3: for Howell to take over. Yeah, and Gino Smith to

700
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 3: be cut for now. We move on with Gino though,

701
00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 3: and he's got one of the better trios of wide

702
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: receivers in the game with DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and

703
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 3: sophomore Jackson Smith and Jigba. JSN was a bit of

704
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,959
Speaker 3: an afterthought in the Shane Waldron offense last year. May sure,

705
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 3: maybe it's because they just didn't focus on the slot.

706
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 3: Maybe there were too many mouths to feed. But JSN

707
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 3: finished with a average of like four catches and thirty

708
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 3: seven yards per game, and that sucks.

709
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,360
Speaker 1: I think only a couple of touchdowns from what I recollecting.

710
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,719
Speaker 4: Off the top of my head.

711
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tyler Lockett turns thirty two in that time, the

712
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 3: big X factor right there. He had a bit of

713
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 3: a downturn last season as well, maybe due to JSN

714
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 3: popping in. He averaged four and a half catches in

715
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: fifty two yards per game, and his touchdown total did

716
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 3: a dolly pardon it dropped from nine to five. Yeahicly done.

717
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 3: There we go, all those young that is getting our

718
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 3: dolly parton references here. Put Lockett and JSN together. That's

719
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 3: one good wide receiver, but in last year's offense, neither

720
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,840
Speaker 3: is a sure thing to start in fantasy DK. Metcalf

721
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 3: went from ninety catches to sixty six catches last year,

722
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 3: but he had more receiving yards and more touchdowns, so

723
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 3: the efficiency is off the charts right. He averaged almost

724
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: seventeen yards per catch'ts and scored on one in eight receptions. Wow.

725
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,320
Speaker 3: If they can get him back closer to ninety catches

726
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 3: at that rate, you're looking at fifteen hundred yards and

727
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 3: twelve touchdowns. That's great. Metcalf going off the board at

728
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 3: pick thirty eight, that's the beginning of the fourth JSN

729
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 3: is in the ninth and Lockett as a tenth round ADP.

730
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 3: I don't know who I choose. It probably Metcalf still

731
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 3: at the higher ADP, just because I don't know if

732
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 3: I can trust either of those guys yep to not

733
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 3: cannibalize each other. So that's probably where I'm going Noah

734
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 3: Fant by the way as the top tight end, but

735
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 3: he'll go undrafted in most formats. And it is worth

736
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 3: noting that Ryan Grubbs Washington Huskies offense ranked first in

737
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 3: major college football in passing yards. They averaged three hundred

738
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 3: and sixty nine passing yards per game last year.

739
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, a quarterback and at your quarterback and number one

740
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: wide receiver both went in the top ten.

741
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 3: Absolutely, so there's some reasons to think the passing game

742
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: can get better this season. On the running side, Pete

743
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 3: Carroll like to have a bellcow running back. Mike McDonald

744
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 3: came from Baltimore where they constantly had backs churning due

745
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 3: to injury, mostly, but Harbaugh did like to ride the

746
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 3: hot hand too. Last year in Washington, Ryan Grubbs offense

747
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 3: had a belcow back as well. Though Dylan Johnson carried

748
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 3: the ball two hundred and thirty three times last year,

749
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 3: the next closest teammate in rushing attempts was Michael Pennix

750
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 3: with thirty five, so almost two hundred more. That bodes

751
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 3: well if you're a Kenneth Walker believer, as Zach Charboney

752
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 3: had a big chunk of the middle of the season

753
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 3: where Walker was banged up and Charboney basically did nothing

754
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: in three consecutive fourteen plus carry games. So I imagine Walker

755
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 3: is the lead dog in Charbonay, just as the change

756
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 3: of pace third down guy. Walker has scored exactly nine

757
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 3: times in each of his first two seasons, and if

758
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 3: he stays on the field and is healthy, it's his job.

759
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 4: You know.

760
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: I'd love to make a case because of Sharboney's draft equity,

761
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: and he didn't like to make a case for Sharbonay

762
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: breaking out here with the catches, Walker looks good. Yeah,

763
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:58,959
Speaker 1: he's just a good back.

764
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 3: He's good. He's good so you can catch the ball.

765
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 3: He's a good runner. There's room for the running game

766
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 3: him to approve here. I think it actually will a

767
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 3: little bit.

768
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Arizona Cardinals, our final team of

769
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: this show. You already mentioned earlier in the show, Hollywood

770
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: Brown gone now in Kansas City. In his place, Marvin

771
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: Harrison Junior, the fourth pick of the draft.

772
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, can't buy his jersey though.

773
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, no yet, they'll work that. Aside from Trey McBride,

774
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 1: there's basically no competition for targets for Marvin Harrison in

775
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: this one. The other receivers are sophomore Michael Wilson, who,

776
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: by the way preview of coming attractions, he will be

777
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,319
Speaker 1: one of my biggest sleepers of the year okay, and

778
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: slack eye Greg Dortsch, along with journeymans like Zay Jones

779
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,280
Speaker 1: and Zach Pascal who do not count. Harrison will start

780
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: on day one. Could have Rookie of the Year season,

781
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 1: right I think currently the betting odds only of Caleb

782
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,759
Speaker 1: Williams ahead of Harrison to win Rookie of the Year.

783
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: You already know Harrison is an elite prospect. Countless big

784
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: plays at AU, athletic ability, route, savvy, finishing skills, big plays.

785
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: Just there's so many things to like about Harrison, and

786
00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: I think you're talking about me right now, very very much.

787
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 1: So you in the backyard with the it's a ball, Yes, yeah,

788
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 1: growing out. Yeah, a pookinaool level of rookie usage is possible.

789
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah for Marvin Harrison here due to his just

790
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: NFL readiness is so high.

791
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 4: Adp right now.

792
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: Wide receiver ten for Marvin Harrison, there's a lot of respectimism.

793
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 1: That's a lot of optimism right there.

794
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 3: He's just picking yep.

795
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 1: I can't remember another rookie going at that level of

796
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: drafts at receiver. I mean it happens a running back

797
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: all time, Yeah, not receiver. This is kind of uncharted territory.

798
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: From off the top of my head, I have not actually, yeah,

799
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't analyze the data looking back, Like, I don't

800
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 1: think Jamar Chase or C.

801
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 3: D Lamb or anything like that.

802
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,319
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, nobody liked that.

803
00:39:58,360 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 4: I think was going that high.

804
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: No. Trey McBride is the other big story. His breakout

805
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 1: last year coincided with Kyler Murray's return and helped power

806
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,359
Speaker 1: a lot of teams to fantasy championships because you got

807
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: him off the waiver wire mid season. Week eight is

808
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: when he had his big breakout game. From Week eight forward,

809
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,239
Speaker 1: he was a top five tight end the rest of

810
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 1: the way. He was the most targeted tight end in

811
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: the NFL from Week eight forward, Tery McBride.

812
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 3: So we have a top five tight end, we have

813
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 3: a top five wide receiver. We got one of your

814
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 3: favorite sleepers. You gotta be feeling pretty good about Kyler Murray.

815
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: You know Kyler Murray is he is going to be

816
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: a value pick. I mean people are really down on him.

817
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: And I've brought this up many times in the offseason,

818
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 1: and I don't have the numbers memorized, but a Arizona's offense,

819
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: which was dismal almost all year, but the final five

820
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: games of the year, I believe they averaged twenty five

821
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 1: and a half points per game. So we saw it

822
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: starting to come to get other. Yeah, in Arizona at

823
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: the end of last year, Kyler Murray is gonna be

824
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be a value for somebody. The ADP on

825
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: Trey McBride tight end three round four, Wow, that's high.

826
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: People are very optimistic it's gonna continue.

827
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 3: Do you feel like this year the tight ends, at

828
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 3: least that group of like five or six tight ends

829
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 3: who are at the top are going to be just

830
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 3: vaulted up, because after you get past that first block

831
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 3: of tight ends, it's just a disaster. No.

832
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: In fact, I think this is the first time in

833
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 1: like five years where I feel like tight end is

834
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: pretty deep. Okay, Yeah, in my estimation, weighting on this

835
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 1: is because I'm never that guy like weight on tight end.

836
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: This is the year I think I'm gonna wait on

837
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 1: tight end.

838
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 3: Interesting.

839
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk running gain. Oh well, By the way,

840
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:45,960
Speaker 1: does the passing game get better? Yes, obviously, yeah, I

841
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: think clearly better with Marvin Harrison and Trey McBride now

842
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: entering his third year running game. This is fascinating. I

843
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,480
Speaker 1: think the best runner on the Cardinals is rookie Trey Benson.

844
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 3: You were pretty high on Benson going into the draft.

845
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: I was, but it may take him a while to

846
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: get onto the field in a meaningful way, and that

847
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: part worries me. With Benson, you get a fast player

848
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: with great vision, patience. He breaks tackles, he hits home

849
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: run plays, he's got great footwork, literally never fumbled in college.

850
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: He can catch, and he was lately used at Florida State.

851
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: So you're not getting somebody with the bunch of mileage

852
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: on him.

853
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 4: I love him.

854
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: The problem is James Connor had the best year of

855
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: his season or career, best year of his career last

856
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: year on a terrible Arizona team. It's wild where did

857
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: that come from? He finished his Pro Football Focus's fifth

858
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: best running back. He averaged five yards per carry, highest

859
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: mark of his career. He ranked second in yards after

860
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: contact James Connor three point nine yards after contact. He

861
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: finished sixth in rushes of fifteen yards or more, all

862
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: this despite a run blocking line that ranked twenty sixth

863
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus.

864
00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 3: He's doing it himself. He's doing it himself. He's a

865
00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 3: DIY runner.

866
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: Yep. Now Connor is twenty nine years old. Yeah, so,

867
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,800
Speaker 1: I mean we're right on the cusp, but we're guys

868
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: nose dive and I think Connor will not sustain that

869
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: level of productivity.

870
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 3: He's also got a big injury history too.

871
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: He does, yeah, he does. Now, he's been lightly used.

872
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: Connor's never top two und fifteen carries a season. So

873
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: maybe the end, maybe it's not going to go on

874
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,959
Speaker 1: to these drive like Gena Davis off the cliff kind.

875
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 3: Of Dealilman luis, Okay, right.

876
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: So maybe, But I think the issue here is how

877
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: long until Trey Benson takes over. It might be mid season.

878
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: I think it might be mid season, could be beyond,

879
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: But I just I can't see James Connor posting that

880
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: kind of productivity.

881
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,959
Speaker 3: Again. Sure, and it's probably closer to a timeshare than

882
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 3: maybe Trey Bentson taking over, But this is the most

883
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 3: capable backup James Connor has seen in his.

884
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:02,360
Speaker 4: By a million miles.

885
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: All Right, So the ADP here Connor's ADP is running

886
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 1: back twenty four, Benson's thirty three. Oh, you're gonna have

887
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: to devil patience on Benson, but you can get him

888
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: three rounds later.

889
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: Thirty three is four rounds. Kind of high for a

890
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 3: backup running that's on the high end of the backup

891
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 3: that is it is. So you may have to reach

892
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 3: around for a guy like Trey Benson. To steal a

893
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 3: term from our preseason shows.

894
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 4: Maybe we get both. Yeah, draft them both, you can.

895
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: U does the running game get better or worse for

896
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 1: Arizona in totality better because they have a better one

897
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: two punch than they've had in.

898
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 4: I looked it up.

899
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 1: The last time Arizona had a good one two punch

900
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:46,720
Speaker 1: at running back Edger and James and Tim high Tower.

901
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,359
Speaker 1: That's how long it's been.

902
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 3: I forgot for all those guys. I forgot both of

903
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 3: those guys cardinals.

904
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 1: And they went to the Super Bowl.

905
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 3: Oh they did?

906
00:44:58,280 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

907
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Emmett Smith as a former cardinal.

908
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson is a formal cardinal. Wow, yeah, we're cardinal

909
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 1: Where running backs go to die.

910
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 3: It is like a retirement community.

911
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 1: It's the It's Sun City. It's perfect beautiful.

912
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 3: It only makes sense hit Sedona during the day. Yeah, wonderful.
