00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,240

Speaker 1: We also have the great Chris Westling in the house.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: What's up man? Thanks for having me, James. I feel

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,479
Speaker 1: like once we got Adam Rank on the podcast, beautiful

9
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: things started happening, started getting some gas here and more

10
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: more bald men as well. With Chris and Adam Ranking,

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 1: balds now are running the joint. Rank gives the first domino.

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: He's like the Tony quarterback market. And we got rid

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: of the mats who have like just heads of hair.

14
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: That's a very good point. And then it's like, oh

15
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: yeah you're coming Adam and Chris. You know what that

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: is really funny. We get rid of the mats, we

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: bring in Adam Rank and Chris Westlank. Now you have

18
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 1: the antie. It's not like it's a system quarterback. Find

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: two other dudes with great heads of hair. Like, we're

20
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: going completely different. Not only am I breaking up with her.

21
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm dating a girl who's never like her. I love it.

22
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant in the house, what's up. I'm glad to

23
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: be back after a harrowing drive down from the mountains

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: in the Sara Nevadas over the weekend. Okay, what does

25
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: that mean? I was up in Lake Tohoe for the weekend,

26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: which is great, but you know, as some wonderful snow,

27
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure as someone who does not do winter, I

28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: was wintering and driving down out of the mountain. I

29
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: learned how to put chains on my tires. Yeah, so

30
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: you're a man, I believe so I can change. I

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: can change the tires, I can change the oil in

32
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: my car. I can I can tie a bow tie

33
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: like I feel like I've listen brother, when we all

34

00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,279
Speaker 1: hanging out with you, brother. I like it. Alice Kelhar,

36
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: the whisk it from Wisconsin, was cracking. Uh now excited

37
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: to be here. I think I was gonna joke off

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: the top. I think this is one of the first

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: times in a while. Are you You always start with

40
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: we have a big show. We actually have a big show.

41
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: We have lots of topics, not just false praise. We

42
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 1: had a big show. We're gonna talk about some stuff.

43
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: That's it. Uh, that's generally how I opened the show.

44
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: We have we have a big show, and we're gonna

45
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: talk about some stuff which totally under sells and undercuts moment.

46
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 1: This is a big show, now, this is actually a

47
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 1: big show. We've got Chris Westling here. Why because he

48
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: wrote a great piece about Tony Romo and potential landing

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: spots for him. He also has an interesting hypothesis on

50
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: Jake Cutler possibly going to gain Green. We'll get his

51
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: thoughts there. We also have again the Great Lancers Areline're

52
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 1: gonna get a phone call from him a little later

53
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: in the program. He's gonna be previewing the combine. It is.

54
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: We're breaking up the common The combine is so huge

55
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: now that we gotta break it up into two parts.

56
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: Today it's part one. We will be talking about running backs.

57
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking about all of the great running

58
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: backs that are potentially in This draft is maybe one

59
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: of the deepest running back drafts in recent memory. And

60
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: I can't wait to talk about it. I cannot wait

61
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: to talk about it. Just gonna be Grea, We're gonna

62
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: could call into the wild as well. We'll get the

63
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: great franchise on the phone, hopefully, if hopefully hopefully, we

64
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: we don't plan this thing pants level to be determined

65
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: pants level, And if we don't get him, we'll we'll

66
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: try the other Matt and get his take. He's doing

67
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: some great work on the combine as well. But today

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: is a combine theme. But as always, we start your

69
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: show with your top headlines, the camera highlights in the

70
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: world of sport, breaking breaking news, breakingly, continue to follow

71
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: breaking news as kids, your wife. We shall start and

72
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: end in the state of Florida. Julius Thomas traded away

73
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: by the Jags on Monday, staying in Florida going to Miami.

74
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: The Jags in return got a seventh round draft pick back,

75
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: so basically nothing. Thomas is Turney twenty nine. He's gonna be,

76
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: I think, quite honestly, in a pretty good situation. Shouldn't

77
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: really there In the m i a. He gets reunited

78
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: with Adam Gaze from his Denver days, and Miami is

79
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: pretty much bereft of any star talent at tight end. Adam, right,

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: I'll throw it to you any reason to get excited

81
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 1: about this move from a fantasy perspective, not especially. I mean, listen,

82
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of comes the cold water. No, no, no,

83
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: it's not cold water. But I think that the tight

84
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: end position is something that you just kind of stream, okay,

85
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: unless unless you're really investing a top picking a tight end.

86
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: I usually end up streaming these guys. And Julius Thomas

87
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: is always somebody who will bounce around every once in

88
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: a while, have a great matchup and disappoint you. Then

89
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: you hate him go on with your life. You're saying, like,

90
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: why didn't I just draft Rob Gunkowskis why didn't I

91
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: draft Rob Grondcawsking? Okay, listen, this is I don't know

92
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: what do we expect? I mean, like I'm asking you

93
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 1: what you're expecting here? I know this is uh we're

94
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: going you know, narrative street. Yes, like two teams, Like

95
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: all these teams are giving up on them, Like why

96
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: should I? Why should I embrace them? Only one team

97
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: gave up on him? I mean he left Denver as

98
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: a free agent. No, they let him go. I mean

99
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: they didn't bring him back, all right, alex Yo Hallard.

100
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: The the tight end position has been an absolute train

101
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: wreck as we saw in sixteen. UH does again? I mean,

102
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: I know, I know, look, I'm not saying that he's

103
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: gonna get you know, drafted the top ten rounds. I

104
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: get that part. But is this another name now in

105
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: in what is a relative shallow pool of tight ends

106
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: from the fantasy Uh, From a fantasy perspective, I mean,

107
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: he could be a guy that you draft super late

108
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: and then or looked to stream off the waiver wire.

109
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 1: The red zone and like, especially near the ten yard

110
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: line wasn't a particularly strong point for UH Miami, especially

111
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: in the passing game. DeVante Parker only had four targets

112
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 1: inside the ten last year, Jarvis Landry only had to Uh.

113
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: You know, Dion Sims is getting rotated in their tight

114
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: end because Jordan's Cameron was Jordan Cameron was injured. Dan

115
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: Sims a free agent, So if anything, he could be

116
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 1: a touchdown dependent UH fantasy guy, which given how the

117
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: position is, we saw people have a lot of success

118
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: with people like Cameron Brad last we're touchdown dependent guys,

119
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: so he could have some he could have some valuable

120
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: us have to kind of wait and see how it

121
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 1: all shakes out with what Gates wants to do with

122
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: him down. I can't believe I'm the only person that's

123
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: reasonably excited. Well I'm reasonably don't don't let him become

124
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: this year's Kobe Flaner. You talk to yourself and like,

125
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 1: this is a great situation. I can't wait to see

126
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: what happens. I mean, it's fine. Do you want to

127
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: share your takes? You know you had some good ones

128
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: on the A T and pod which I listened to

129
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: this morning. Think everybody should download. By the way, thank you.

130
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: We all know by now that injuries are inherently unpredictable,

131
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 1: Yet every single one of us has players we won't

132
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: touch because we are assured they're going to be injured.

133
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: Julius Thomas is always injured, and and you throwing the

134
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: fact that he was lumbering the last two years. He

135
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: looked overweight, he didn't look streamlined like he did in Denver,

136
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: And it's hard for me to get excited about a

137
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: guy who's always injured and doesn't look as good as

138
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: he did the past few years. Lumbering is the very

139
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: kind way. You do have to wonder, and you know,

140
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 1: I'm always has tend to go with the you know

141
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: Player X was made by quarterback wy scenario. But you

142
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: do wonder how much working with Peyton Man and not

143
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: even necessarily having Peyton Manning throw him the football, but

144
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: understanding the kind of work ethic Peyton Manning the demands

145
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: of his quarterbacks, Blake Bortles isn't that guy. Blake Bortles

146
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: is not going to demand that you're out in the

147
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: off season that you're working. It might demand that you

148
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: go out to happy hour with him, perhaps, um, but

149
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: you're not gonna get that same level of demand out

150
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: of a guy like Blake Bortles. And I wonder if

151
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 1: you can expect that out of Ryan Tannehill. I don't.

152
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, I would. I would suspect he falls

153
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: kind of somewhere in between Blake Bortles and Peyton Man.

154
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: So Blake Bortles is like Bobby Lane when he says drink.

155
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: There you go, all right, Chris, we'll we'll go to

156
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: your to your column here. Oh by the way, Chris Westling.

157
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: For those of you who only listen to the Fantasy podcast,

158
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: hey listen, what are you guys doing? Listen to the

159
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast as well, world famous A T

160
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: N Ryder and podcaster Chris Westling also possibly the world's

161
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: greatest cornhole are as well. From what I understand, he's

162
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: certainly up there. From what I understand, Chris Wesley, hell

163
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: of a cornhole player. I have yet to see it,

164
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: witness it myself in person, So we shall see. Uh.

165
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley, you wrote a great piece detailing six potential

166
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: landing spots for Tony Romo. If I can paraphrase, you said, Houston, Denver,

167
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: Casey no because Alex Smith, Buffalo, Chicago no, and no

168
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: because both are trash. And Arizona no because Carson Palmer

169
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: is back there as well. So it really comes down

170
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: to Houston and Denver. How realistic are those scenarios for

171
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: Tony Romo? Well, I think those two have to be

172
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: considered the heaviest favorites, and in both cases it makes

173
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: a lot more sense if, if, and when he gets released.

174
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: I think if there's going to be a trade, it

175
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: would have to be somebody leapfrogging Houston and Dallas and

176
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: coming basically out of the blue as a surprise team

177
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: like the Jets did with Breth far back in two

178
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: thousand eight. I believe what would these two teams give

179
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: up to go get a piece like Tony Romo. I

180
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: don't think they would. I think the Texans are so

181
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: strapped against the cap that it would have to be

182
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: a release and then Tony Romo accepting a very team

183
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: friendly deal. The Texans saying, hey, look, what's your priority?

184
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 1: Your thirty seven years old, you're a hit away from retirement.

185
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: Do you want to win a championship? Or do you

186
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: want to go to Buffalo? And I think that's the

187
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Texans leverage, you know, and the Broncos are kind of

188
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: the same way. That word has leaked that if he

189
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: gets released, they'll consider him above Simeon and Paxton Lynch,

190
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 1: but they're not going to trade for him. They don't

191
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: want to take on that salary. John Elway is now

192
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: used to not paying a quarterback a lot of money,

193
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: and I think he likes that. And I think if

194
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 1: you watch the Broncos last year, how is Roma going

195
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: to survive behind one of the worst offensive lines in football? Uh?

196
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: Likelihood something like that actually does get done, where he

197
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: signs one of these veteran, you know, team friendly deals

198
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 1: to go to Houston or Denver, and you think about

199
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: the landing spot to both of those teams went healthy.

200
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: Have elite defense is something that should help. Uh, something

201
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: like Tony Romo because you know he could hand the

202
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: ball off quite often, and he's also working with head

203
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: coaches that are also friendly from the offensive side. Yeah,

204
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: I think you have to. I know the answer to

205
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: all your questions and sports his money, But I think

206
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: in Romo's case, you have to make an exception. He's

207
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: made a lot of money. The only reason for him

208
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: to keep playing at this point in time is to

209
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: win a Lombardi Trophy. I think that's his primary motivation.

210
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: So in those situations, I think Houston and Denver make

211
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: the most sense, and I have a hard time making

212
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: any sense out of out of the other teams on

213
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: the list. Now, you're not you're not buying any of this.

214
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: Uh talk about him potentially going to to Washington or anything. Right,

215
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: There's no way Jerry lets that happen. I would think

216
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: if he releases Romo, it's doing Romo a favor, and

217
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: it have to be with a wink and a nod

218
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: that you are not gonna go and play for an

219
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: NFC East team, right right? All right, Kansas City, I

220
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: just see that it's too risky. If you've got four

221
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: years invested in Alex Smith. In any Reid's offense, they

222
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: have the best record in the nfl L since midpoint

223
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: of two thousand fifteen. You're gonna give up. You're gonna

224
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: risk alienating Alex Smith or dumping him all together for

225
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can't stay healthy. I like the idea

226
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: of upgrading Alex Smith and saying, hey, look, this guy

227
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: has taken us as far as he can. I just

228
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: don't know if you're gonna that's a very high risk

229
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: to do it with Rome. Yeah. I think you're right.

230
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: There's just too many risk factors there. Because Smiths has

231
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: been successful in that team, Romo is one hit away

232
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: from from being done, and they could they could basically

233
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: go from having a good quarterback to having like no quarterback. Then,

234
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: in an instant, if if Andy Reid went out and said,

235
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: you know what, I identified Jimmy Garoppolo as a guy

236
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: who's better than Alex Smith. This guy can take me

237
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: to the promised Land, I see that as an acceptable risk.

238
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't see Tony Romo at this age with his

239
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: injury history, as an acceptable risk. When Alex Smith gives

240
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: you a really high floor. Does he have anything left

241
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: Tony Romo that remains to be seen? I have a

242
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: feeling he can still play. To me, the injuries are

243
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 1: the question. But we saw him play one series last year.

244
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: He looked pretty good. Uh, guys who practice with him

245
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: said he looked like two thousand fourteen Romo. So that's

246
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: about all we can go on because change does happen

247
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: quickly in the NFL. Last time we saw Tony Romo

248
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: playing a full season, Peyton Nanny was thrown for thirty

249
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns. I mean, that's it's been a long time

250
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: since we've seen Romo. Alright, very good, that's all logical.

251
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: And you tried to bring that up to another guy

252
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: well known. So the question, bags, do you and Peter

253
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: King have legit heat? Is this? This was a little bad?

254
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: This was this was on Twitter. I have a feeling

255
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: Peter King does not know that we've had legitimate heat

256
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: for ten years. And I love it. I absolutely love it. MG.

257
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: From a fantasy perspective, if Tony Romo does end up

258
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: in Houston or Denver, I guess which would you prefer

259
00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: to see? Um, that's a good call. I think I

260
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: would probably prefer to see him in Denver. Um. You know,

261
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: it would be nice to see what he does with

262
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: Sanders and Thomas there. Um, you know, I think they

263
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: I would like to see them with a quarterback that

264
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: opens up that running game a little bit as well.

265
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: I look, I maybe because you know we're from the

266
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: same hometown, I'm I'm leaning towards C. J. Anderson over

267
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller. I think Anderson honestly is a slightly better

268
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: running back than the mar Miller as well. So um,

269
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: I think, I mean, I think it's a coin flip.

270
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 1: I think he could be successful in both, but I

271
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: think for my own purposes, I prefer to see him

272
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: playing with the Broncos. I like him in Houston, though,

273
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: because DeAndre Hopkins, they're playing in a dome at least

274
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: nine games. I would have to check their schedule. I

275
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: don't know if they have any more than their eight

276
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: homies and in Indianapolis. But yeah, so it's like a

277
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: good and I think that division is better than a

278
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 1: lot of people give it credit for. I think the

279
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 1: a f C South is on the up swing, but

280
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: still nine dumb games. DeAndre Hopkins to sign me up?

281
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,680
Speaker 1: I think you would find out that the Texans go

282
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: from being the most underutilized skill position players to being

283
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: utilized correctly. That you could not pick a quarterback who

284
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: fit DeAndre hopkins skill set worse than brock osway they

285
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: ended up. They've got they've got a blazing fast rookie

286
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: who has a hundred yards in his first two games

287
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: of his NFL career in DeAndre Hopkins, and by mid

288
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 1: season they have to make the concession that they're building

289
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: their offense around their slow tight ends because Hots Wilder

290
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: can't throw outside the numbers and down the field. And

291
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: I think you find that Romo really makes that that

292
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: offense blossom. Yeah, that's interesting. I like it. I like

293
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: the Houston call as well, just because the the offensive

294
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: skill players are a little bit younger. Uh, Emmanuel Sanders,

295
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: Damarius Thomas obviously great players, great wide receivers, but they're

296
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: also getting up there a little bit in age. Um,

297
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, Chris, you also talked about Jay Cutler. According

298
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: to multiple reports, jay Cutler being actively shopped around by Chicago. Look,

299
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: it probably won't happen. He's not gonna get traded. Chicago

300
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: is gonna probably release him. But you had a very

301
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: interesting hypothesis talk to us about why he may end

302
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: up with New York in terms of the Jets and

303
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 1: the coral areas. Did you run this past Dan Hans

304
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: is first, Well, Dan Hans is in from my very

305
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: unscientific Twitter pool. Uh, every Jets fan despises the notion

306
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: that Jay Cutler could end up there, and every fan

307
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: of every other team is tackling with at the notion

308
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: that Cutler could be leading the Jets. I think in

309
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: his case, he has burned so many bridges between teammates

310
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: and former coaches whom, many of whom he's gotten fired,

311
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: that you have to look for for situations where he

312
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: has a good relationship with the coach. And Jeremy Bates,

313
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: the new Jets quarterbacks coach, was the quarterbacks coach when

314
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: Cutler was in Denver, and for a year or two

315
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: was the quarterbacks coach in Chicago with Cutler, and everything

316
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: you read about the two of them is that they

317
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: they really like each other. Cutler and Bates are a

318
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: mutual admiration society. And that's that's a rare case for

319
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler. And then you talk about the skill position

320
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: players there too, that's that could be I mean, obviously

321
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: a lot a lot could happen in terms of the

322
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: veterans being cut or whatever it is. But if everyone

323
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: comes back. You know, again, you mentioned his former teammates well,

324
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: Matt Forte and Brandon Marshall, And I think it's probably

325
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: debatable at this point whether Brandon Marshall even wants to

326
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: play with Jake Cutler. They've been There's been quite a

327
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: few things said behind each other's back since they separated.

328
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: It's hard to keep up with their relationship. At one

329
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: point they really liked each other and defended each other,

330
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: and now they seem to be sniping at each other.

331
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: So and maybe third third times a charm who knows,

332
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: that could be like a detriman. Maybe Brandon Marshall refuses

333
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: to play with Jay Cutler. I don't know. I don't know.

334
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: The recent history of Brandon Marshall suggested whoever they sign

335
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: is going to be his quarterback. Remember he loved Geno

336
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: Smith at first and then right didn't they bring in

337
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: Right Fitzpatrick and then that was his guy? So who knows,

338
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: Maybe if they signed Jay Cutler, j will be his guy.

339
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: And I think it's just hard to find a landing

340
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: spot for Jay Cutler. I don't think anyone really wants

341
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: him as their franchise quarterback. It's more like, I guess,

342
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: will settle settle for this guy because we us don't

343
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: have anything better. What's the likelihood that he plays in seventeen.

344
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I would imagine coming in, I would imagine

345
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: it's pretty strong. But I don't know. I guess kind

346
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: of reading the team leaves out there. As you mentioned,

347
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: he had burned so many bridges. I think it's a

348
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: very strong possibility he doesn't play, not on a team.

349
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: I just yeah, I just don't think he's gonna play.

350
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he's maybe. I doubt that he would

351
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: sign a backup deal. But let's say he does. I mean,

352
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: he's he's a more than capable backup, um. But if

353
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: he decides not to be a backup, is his career

354
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: might just be over. It's also coming off labor surgery

355
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: to his throwing shoulder, which is not a small surgery.

356
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: It is not. So there you go, Uh, Chris Westling.

Speaker 1: be joined on the phone by Lance Zerline, NFL Media's analyst,

373
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 1: one of our Scout specialists are Combine grew. If you will, LANCEA,

374
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: how you doing today? Good talk to you. I'm very good.

375
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: Well we are closing down on the start of the Combine.

376
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: I know you have been hard at work studying a

377
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: ton of guys, Alex, and I know that especially because

378
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,920
Speaker 1: we've had the good pleasure to read a lot of them.

379
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: It's a profile master over there. A few people have

380
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: been grinding as much tape as lance these days. So

381
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 1: but I want to start, wanna talk some running backs

382
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 1: with you today, and if, like you know, I gotta

383
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: start at the top, the the top two names that

384
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: we're hearing a lot of our Leonard Fournett, Dalvin Cook,

385
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 1: and I feel like just kind of following along on

386
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: draft Twitter and the like, the consensus over who's the

387
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: number one there is split for your money, who do

388
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: you have is the number one? And why, Well, I'm

389
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: gonna go Leonard Fournette and it's I think Dalvin Cook

390
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: is the better runner. To be honest with you, I mean,

391
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: I think if you want to just put on tape,

392
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: the more complete running back is cooked, the better. The

393
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: more skilled running back is cooked. But I've got a

394
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: higher grade on four net and that's because and we're

395
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,919
Speaker 1: talking about elite size and speed. And I know that

396
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: word is thrown out a lot, but I don't throw

397
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: it out lightly. And when I say elite size and speed,

398
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying Bo Jackson, herschel Walker. Um. Uh, you know,

399
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,399
Speaker 1: I guess you could say Eric Dickerson really because he

400
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: had he's bigger than people think and he's definitely fast.

401
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: And then uh, Adrian Peterson, and I think, you know,

402
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: we're talking about a very a very select group of

403
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: running backs there and span a few different decades, and

404
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: and Leonard Fournette falls into that group. He's he's got

405
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: he's got it a burst in an acceleration that is

406
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: almost you know, unheard of for back his size other

407
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: than Adrian Peterson. It's the only other guy that I

408
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: can think of. And he's a little bit bigger than

409
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: than Peterson is too, so um his ability to create

410
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: through power and to create through speed is absolutely um unbelievable.

411
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: He's big enough to handle a heavy workload he had.

412
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: He played on some some ankle he put in an

413
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: ankle issue that that hindered him this year. And he

414
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: was so competitive that when L s U and Florida

415
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: got into a pregame scrap he wasn't supposed to play,

416
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: he went and got his uniform through that I'm going

417
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: to play. And while I love that, you know, it

418
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: didn't help him healthwise. It wasn't a smart idea, but

419
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 1: it gives you an idea of, you know, what kind

420
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 1: of team guy he is and what kind of competitor

421
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: he is. So I just think physically, and you know,

422
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: what I gotta also say, Dalvin Cook has had some

423
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: issues with a show older that concerns me UM just

424
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. So I would say based on all

425
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: of that information, I think that the physical traits and

426
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: the ability to hit home runs when he gets into

427
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: the open field, um, combined with his size, and I

428
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: think he's going to be a better pass catcher than

429
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: some people probably UM. I think based on the L

430
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: s U offense not really taking advantage of it, I'm

431
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: gonna make him my top running back and that would

432
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 1: go for fantasy football as well. Yeah, I was gonna

433
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: ask you that because a lot of the top guys

434
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: in fantasy nowadays are catching passes as well, David Johnson,

435
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: Levian Bell even you know, Zeke didn't have as many

436
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 1: as they did in his rookie year, but he still

437
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: caught thirty two passes for sixty three yards. There's nothing

438
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: to turn your nose up at. So that was gonna

439
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: be something I was gonna ask you from four NET

440
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: if you think he had that to take him to

441
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 1: the next level, because if he's just predominantly you know,

442
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: but between the tackles Carrie Grinder, that might that might

443
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: limit his fantasy ceiling. Yeah no, and that's a good point.

444
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: And obviously you have to wait and see. Look, he

445
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: can he can catch the football. Now we all obviously

446
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: have to wait and see where the where these guys fit.

447
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: We we can't project their numbers until you see who

448
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: they're with, the team, the offensive line, the scheme. So

449
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: it's possible if he goes to a team with a

450
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: good third down back on it, then that's obviously gonna

451
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: play in to where I would project Leonard Fournette and

452
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: what his numbers would be. Dalvin Cook can catch a football,

453
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: There's no question. He can also hit home runs. Um

454
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, Christian McCaffrey. These guys are both UH three

455
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: down players who have the ability to to light it

456
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 1: up in PPR leagues as well if they get in

457
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: the right situations. And you know, frankly, Joe Mixing is

458
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: that guy. Joe Mixon has off the field character concerns

459
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: and we'll see if he's even drafted. But you know,

460
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,679
Speaker 1: just speaking purely from a fantasy football standpoint, he's as

461
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: close as you're gonna find a David Johnson in this draft.

462
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's really talented catching the football. So you know,

463
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: mixing is is kind of the outlier because you're not

464
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 1: sure what's gonna happen with his draft stock. From a

465
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: talent standpoint, it's definitely there. But Kamara, Cook and McCaffrey

466
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: all have the opportunity to catch the football. The question

467
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: will be with Leonard Fournette, you know, and like with

468
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. I mean, Adrian could get you thirty catches

469
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: plus in a season, it depended how often the Vikings

470
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: wanted to use him on that particular year. I think

471
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: the same thing could be true with with four Nette.

472
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: If the team wants to use him out of the backfield,

473
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: I think he can handle that. Now, you mentioned Christian McCaffrey,

474
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: who was the name that I find intriguing simply because

475
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: seeing his body of work at Stanford and seeing how

476
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: much of that offense he took upon himself, I mean,

477
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: running it, catching it, even running back kicks and and

478
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: the like. Um, do you see all of that transferring

479
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: to the NFL. I know there's still some questions about

480
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: whether people believe in him altogether. Yeah, I do see

481
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: it translating now from a fantasy standpoint, and less you're

482
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: in just very particular leagues. His brain turn and kick

483
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,239
Speaker 1: return is not going to give you value on an

484
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: individual basis unless you're in a pretty hard cool league.

485
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: But from a pass catching standpoint, he's absolutely you know,

486
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: he can Danny woodhead you. He can. He can spread out,

487
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 1: and he can go run routes and get open through routes.

488
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 1: He can come out of the backfield. I think he's

489
00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: big enough. You know, he's not. He's not a big

490
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: running back, but he's big enough that he can and

491
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 1: I and my guess is he'll he'll he'll measure in

492
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: around I don't know. It's gonna be interesting to see

493
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: what he wants to carry at the combine because he's

494
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: gonna have to weigh and he needs to weigh around

495
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: two plus pounds. The problem is if he thinks that's

496
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: gonna hinder his speed. I just think he needs to

497
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: run in the low four fives. I think that's what

498
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: he is and I think he'll run it, and I

499
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: think that will be fine. Um, I think it'd be

500
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: a mistake to try to keep the weight down so

501
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: he can run faster, because he's not getting drafted on speed.

502
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: He's gonna get drafted on where his weight is. But

503
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, he is a guy that can end up

504
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: being a very very fast Um, he could be very

505
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: quick to start posting PPR numbers if he gets in

506
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: the right scheme. Do you think maybe uh, like what

507
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: we what are we thinking? Maybe like not quite a

508
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush rookie year kind of thing where he had

509
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: what did you have? Catches that rookie year? But but

510
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: in the right in the right fit, you think he

511
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: could could post really solid numbers. I think, what did

512
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard have? Like fifties rookie year? Who's that Giovanni Bernard?

513
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: I think he could be Bernard. Yeah, I think he

514
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 1: could be Geo Bernard. And there's some similarities uh to

515
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard's game. Geo is just a very twitchy, you know,

516
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: hyper athletic guy, though very explosive, and I think, to me,

517
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: I think he's more a Tiki Barber as a back

518
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. But you know it, once again, if he

519
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: gets on the right team, I think he's a good

520
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: fit for his own scheme team. If he gets that opportunity, Um,

521
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: he might be a very interesting I mean it's it's

522
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen where he would go with

523
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahana in San Francisco, because they've got you know,

524
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: they've got Carlos Hide and they've got too many other

525
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: needs to be messing with a back who has some flexibility.

526
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, in the right scheme, if if he's

527
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: in the right fit, this is a guy who's who

528
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: will shoot up the boards from address from a fantasy

529
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: stay and point. Because if he gets with the team like, um,

530
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe Philadelphia, you know, that's that's a

531
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: little bit unsettled over there. He gets with a team

532
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 1: like that with a young quarterback and they said, we

533
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: want to protect our quarterback a little bit. All of

534
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: a sudden, you got dumped down passes. You know, who

535
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: he could end up being is like Dominique Dominique Davis

536
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: Sak Dominique changed his name to Dominick Williams, who was

537
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: with the Texans back in the mid two thousands, who

538
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: ended up catching a ton of passes with the young

539
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: David Carr. Yeah, so I'm that's that's one of the

540
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: guys that you know that I think that he could

541
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: end up becoming a quick nine hundred thousand yard rookie

542
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 1: back with about fifty one catches if he gets with

543
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: the right team. So for me, mccaffreine and Kamara are

544
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: are big wild cards based on where they go. Um,

545
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: you were a guy who was big on Jordan Howard

546
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: last year, and obviously he had a very good rookie

547
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: year with the Bears. Is there anybody you see this

548
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: year who maybe he is kind of an under the

549
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: radar player? What had Thomas Rowls a year before and

550
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard and this last year at you patch yourself

551
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: on the back there? Yeah, well guess what everyone's looking for, Like,

552
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: who's the next one? I'm like, oh, well, let's see.

553
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 1: And so if I'm trying to find a sleeper, I

554
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: think there are two guys I would point to one

555
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: of the Boise State Jeremy McNichols. He's about five nine,

556
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 1: twelve pounds. Um, he's really solid at everything. He's a

557
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: good solid back. He's not gonna be fast, but he

558
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: is quick. He's got great balance. Actually like him. I

559
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: think I think Daniel Jeremy and I were talking about

560
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: him yesterday on the phone. We both liked this guy's ability.

561
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 1: I think he is a third round pick in all likelihood. Um,

562
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: you know, five, he's five oh eight six. He's right

563
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: around five nine. He was verified at two twelve this

564
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: springt that's big enough. When you see him, he's he's

565
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: well built. He can catch the ball as well. So

566
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: he would be one guy that I would say, And

567
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: then there's another one. My super sleeper is I just

568
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: found yesterday is a guy named Rochelle Um, Rochelle Shell,

569
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: who is the running back from West Virginia. He's about

570
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 1: five two thirty pounds. He was a five star back

571
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: coming out of the same draft class or the same

572
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: recruiting class with Leonard Fournette, went to Pitt, transferred away

573
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: from Pitt. It's a little bit immature Um and thought

574
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: he was, you know, maybe a little better than he

575
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: he actually was. He said, he's been humbled. You know,

576
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,239
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a tremendous amount of production. But when

577
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: you turn a tape on, all of a sudden, I

578
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: see the shifty feet, I see the size, I see power,

579
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: I see loose hips to be able to elude people.

580
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: I see Frankly a better athlete than than uh than

581
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard is. But Howard had just phenomenal vision, and

582
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,160
Speaker 1: you know, so, I mean, this guy has everything physically,

583
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: and it shouldn't be a surprise considering how highly regarded

584
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: he was at of high school. But I'm just telling

585
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: you he's way under the radar. Anywhere you look, you're

586
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: gonna see him as an undrafted player. But I've got

587
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: a grade that is, uh, put it this way, my

588
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: grade on him is higher than Corey Clement from Wisconsin,

589
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 1: James Conner from pitt Brian Hill from Wyoming, And um,

590
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: that should give you an idea of of of thanks

591
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: for that little bit of breaking news there, I guess,

592
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 1: and then I will you should probably wrap this up

593
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: pretty quick. But who do you think at the running

594
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 1: back position needs a good combined performance to really help

595
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: their draft slash fantasy stock, because we've seen poor performances

596
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,360
Speaker 1: or injuries, you know, drop a lot of guys that

597
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: that otherwise might have had some early success. Oh that's

598
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 1: a really good question. Um. And for some guys it's

599
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: gonna be what they weigh, how tall they are, you know,

600
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: for some guys it's gonna be physical measurements are gonna

601
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: be very important. But if there's one guy in there,

602
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: I'd say it's Yanta foreman, um foreman to me needs

603
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: to play lighter than he played this year. If he

604
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: played in two forties. I think he needs to show

605
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: NFL teams that he was able to get down and

606
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: keep his weight down. Um is playing at a trim

607
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: maybe to thirty maybe, which should help his quickness. If

608
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: he can run a good forty time with two hundred

609
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,719
Speaker 1: twenty eight to two thirty two pounds on his frame

610
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: and and show that he can catch the ball and

611
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 1: some of those drills, I think that really helps him.

612
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: A lot of teams aren't sure he's going to be

613
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: a blocker, that he's really committed as a blocker, so

614
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: there's nothing he can do about that at the combine.

615
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: But if he shows he has good hands, that he

616
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: can catch the ball, and if he shows that he's

617
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: dropped some weight in in his fast and quick and

618
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: some of his h you know, and some of his

619
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: uh quickness drills and his forty time, to me, he's

620
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: a guy that could help his draft stock because he's

621
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: kind of iffy on some team's boards that I've spoken with.

622
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: All right, well, there we have it. I guess that

623
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: with thanks Lance for all that help, and uh good

624
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: luck wrapping up the rest of the prospects. There and

625
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: enjoy indeed enjoying initiated. Yeah, we're about like fifty to

626
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: sixty degrees this year. It beats the one degree uh

627
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: from from I think it was too. I don't know

628
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: if his last year two years. I think it would

629
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: have been two years ago. I went to the Combine

630
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: once and it was bitter, call old, and I actually

631
00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: got locked in like the ticketing area outside Lucas Oil

632
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: because I was there super late and they had closed

633
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: all the gates, so I had to I had to.

634
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: I had to pop a fence when it was like

635
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: negative ten degrees and then stopped at a form and Lance,

636
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: when when a guy for Wisconsin is telling you that

637
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 1: it's cold, it was called that day, I will admit

638
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 1: that I'm from Texas, so I've got a heavy coat

639
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: ready for the three. Hey, let's appreciate the time and

640
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 1: take care. Okay, thanks guys. All Right, the great Lance

641
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: zero line, all that great information, that draft information, that

642
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: combined information. I absolutely love it. Thanks Lance. Alright, guys,

643
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: let's talk about the combine here again. It's combined preview part.

644
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: Oh no, we got running backs. And you know it's

645
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: funny because this year you talk about the running back position.

646
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: My god, it is an absolute treasure trove of talent

647
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 1: here at the running back position. In terms of tears,

648
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about tears and fantasy. Uh, the

649
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: combine for the running backs. It seems as if everyone's

650
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: kind of got this tier one running back right and

651
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: it's it's Dalvin Cook, it's Leonard Fournett, it's some combination

652
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: of that, and then everyone else seems to kind of

653
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: fall in line outside of that. Um Adam Rink will

654
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: start with you, uh, lancerline has Leonard four Nette number one,

655
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: and he's made comparisons to four net uh to bow

656
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: Jackson Jacks, Adrian Peterson, to some of the all time greats.

657
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: Your take on Leonard Fournett, Who would you rather have?

658
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook Leonard Fournette? Well, I mean Cook's he's had

659
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: solder soldier uh shoulder, which concerns me coming out. That's

660
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: a big thing with me. Although the thing with four

661
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: Nett and I know a lot of people are gonna

662
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: be super hyper on him, And one of the problems

663
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: I have is Darius Guys was amazing last year for

664
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: all like he was like okay, like don't play. They

665
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: had a running back who was just as good. I actually,

666
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken, I think his yards perk Harry

667
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: was higher or something like he was out there crushing

668
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: it too. And you're like, okay, so I'm not gonna

669
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: look at interesting look at for Net a little bit differently.

670
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: And I don't I don't care that he didn't that

671
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: he skipped out on his bowl games and things like that.

672
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people just are so excited

673
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: by what Ezekiel Elliott was able to do last year

674
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: and he was great. Uh then they just assumed that, like, oh, yeah,

675
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: that's back, Like running backs are gonna come in and

676
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be automatically great again. And I'm just not

677
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,959
Speaker 1: sure that I'm I'm there yet unless I really have

678
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: to wait and see the situation that he goes to.

679
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: I see a lot of mock drafts that perhaps he

680
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: could be going to Carolina, Like I like that, Like okay, yeah,

681
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: I like that, And I'm gonna I hate to be

682
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: the wait and see person. Not enough to keep me

683
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: from doing it, and I'm gonna I want to wait

684
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: and see. I'm gonna hold off. I'm gonna hold off

685
00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: on the comparisons. There's a lot of guys. There's there's

686
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: been a lot of running backs who have been super

687
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: hyped coming into the NFL all over the last couple

688
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: of years. So I really I want to see somebody

689
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 1: who who fits more of the NFL mold. And of

690
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: course Cook certainly would be one of those backs if

691
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: if he was, if he wasn't coming off surgeries and

692
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: everything like that. I I don't want to jump ahead

693
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: to the guy that I want to talk about too much.

694
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: But I like Christian McCaffrey probably more than anybody really,

695
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: I really, I just feel like the way the NFL

696
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: is evolved, what they ask NFL running backs to do,

697
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: he fits all that he liked checks like what it

698
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: reminds me of when Davante Freeman. Is he more of

699
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 1: a system guy than than than four net or I mean,

700
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: I could see four net or Cook fitting in almost anywhere,

701
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: um except for a few, you know, bad situations. But

702
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey, to me, seems like that guy that absolutely

703
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: needs to hook up with a very good offensive coordinator.

704
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna help that he goes like you

705
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: don't want to go into a situation like Todd Gurley's in, right,

706
00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: now where you're an amazing running back, but you're stuck

707
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: behind an awful offensive line with a with a coordinator

708
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: who doesn't really know what he's doing, or a head

709
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: coach that really shouldn't be an NFL head coach about

710
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 1: the last year's guy, like if he goes through England,

711
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: forget it, lights out. Yeah, but I think that everybody

712
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: is gonna when they see him, they're always gonna when

713
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 1: they see McCaffrey, they're always gonna be like, oh, Danny woodhead,

714
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: he's a he's a patriot because he's a white running back.

715
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 1: And it's like, but that's that's it's just the trend trends.

716
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: They have more white wide receivers than running I would.

717
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: You know, I do think McCaffrey is more of a

718
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: Swiss army knife than somebody like Leonard fort Now, for

719
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: net is a sledgehammer, right, and and you know he's

720
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: that guy who you can put pretty much anywhere, give

721
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: him the ball, let him run downhill and he's going

722
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: to be fine. But I do think McCaffrey is definitely

723
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: much more of a Swiss army knife. And you know,

724
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: I hate to drop the Danny woodhaite comparison, but you

725
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: put him in a place like San Diego and you

726
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: pair him up with Melvin Gordon. I mean, I keep

727
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,320
Speaker 1: coming back to this, and I think I said it

728
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago with with Dalvin Cook, and

729
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: I may have said it was somebody else. What we

730
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,919
Speaker 1: saw Kyle Shanahan do with uh Tevin Coleman last year

731
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: made him into that guy who can do a little

732
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: bit of everything. I think Christian McCaffrey has that ability,

733
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: and like Ranks said, the way the NFL is going,

734
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 1: those guys have even more value. And I think the

735
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: difference between McCaffrey and say Dalvin Cook, who I really

736
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: like is McCaffrey can do a lot of those same

737
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,879
Speaker 1: things in his draft prices is gonna be a lot

738
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: better for NFL team. That's a very good point. Just

739
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: getting back to some of the raw number series. I

740
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 1: like that I was taking to Kyle Shanahan and I

741
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: know the day of Carlos Hide there, but I think

742
00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: like McCaffrey could slip into the second round and Kyle

743
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: shanahan could be like, I'm gonna employ the same type

744
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: of setup I had in Atlanta, and I have these

745
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: two running backs. I know for fantasy, like everybody would

746
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: be upset with that because he would be like, oh,

747
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: I want him to be a featured back, but that

748
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen. I don't know. I don't see that

749
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: happen like that. So I want to throw out a

750
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: couple teams while we're talking about McCaffrey that I think

751
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: could be interesting for him, both with with good offenses

752
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: and skill position play years around, and situational need. First one,

753
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 1: off the top of my head, Colts, Yeah, that's not

754
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: bad because Frank is getting old than everybody else. You

755
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: put somebody, somebody that can run between the tackles and

756
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: also catch a ton of passes from Andrew Luck with

757
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: Tylton and Dont Macon the outside. I like it. This

758
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: one's a little more off the off the grid, but

759
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 1: I think there's certainly a need here with his team.

760
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: What about with the Bengals, Geobar kind of get the

761
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 1: best of both worlds with Jeremy Hill and Effect and

762
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard. Interesting you emerge those two together and Christian McCaffrey,

763
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,839
Speaker 1: and that is interesting. I'd say the one I don't

764
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: hate it. The one thing that McCaffrey doesn't do well,

765
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: and not that Jeremy Hill did it well. Uh is

766
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: kind of his between the tackles shortyard He's willing to

767
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: get in there and put his nose in there. He's

768
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: just gonna push the pile. He's not gonna enough exactly.

769
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: You know, in terms of if no one's ever seen

770
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey play, uh, six ft two hundred pounds, super

771
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: super versatile was a great And it's funny you look

772
00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: at the size and you say, oh, well he can't

773
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 1: run between Not not true, really good runner between the tackles,

774
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: picked up a lot of chunk yardage, especially against Cal

775
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: And he's one of those guys that between the between

776
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: the tackles has such great short area quickness and patisions

777
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: and balance. Like you'll watch him, like three guys there's

778
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: actually a playoff forget. I think it was like Ted

779
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: Nigillion on Twitter tweeted up, but like there are three

780
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: guys coming in McCaffrey and he sees it all happening,

781
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: just puts a little stop in and move on him

782
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: and they all three collide and he goes around him.

783
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: The thing with Christian McCaffrey. Um, yeah, and I know

784
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: this is gonna sound crazy, but his patience behind the

785
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: line is very, very reminiscent of Ville. I had another

786
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: fun idea, not not to totally derail that crazy comparison. Uh,

787
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: what about New York the Giants For McCaffrey, they're always

788
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: running three wides with one back helping spread out the defense.

789
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: He won't face as many stacked fronts. He can catch

790
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: a lot of passes. I just I just want there

791
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: to be some semblance of stability in the Giants, that's all.

792
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 1: I Also, I don't want a guy like McCaffrey to

793
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: get wasted or getting stuck in a committee. So we're

794
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: we're left with his three touchdown games and then his

795
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, to catch four carry games. I mean, he

796
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,479
Speaker 1: had sixteen hundred rush yards in twenty sixteen. People thought

797
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: it was it was a disappointment, and in a way

798
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: it was because in twenty fifteen, his sophomore campaign, you know,

799
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: he ran for two thousand yards. Um, he had thirty

800
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 1: eight hundred all purpose yards, and it was outrageous. We

801
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: should probably move along here that we just devoted quite

802
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: a bit of time to McCaffrey. We go, I'm sorry, guys,

803
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 1: Let's we got other guys on this list. I don't

804
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: want to disrespect in these guys. By the way, Mike

805
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 1: Mayock has his top five and his top five running

806
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: backs in order, Dalvin Cook, Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara,

807
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: and Joe Mixon. But Joe Mixon from Oklahoma not invited

808
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: to the combine, so who cares? Alright? So also in

809
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: Lancer line stopped ten Deontay Forman out of Texas. This

810
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 1: is a big boy, big boy six one five and

811
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: that's why Lance said on the call, he said, uh,

812
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 1: he Foreman is the guy that needs to combine the

813
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: most because he's a big back. He can carry it load,

814
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: he can you can catch spiz. He had it for

815
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: two thousand yards. He did. But like Lance Want was

816
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: was wondering and was hypothesizing what he's gonna come in

817
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,000
Speaker 1: and what he's gonna weigh at the combine and if

818
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: he's the same runner or if he runs better at

819
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: that at the interest area. Three carries two thousand, twenty

820
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: eight yards six point three average. Amazing. UM Franchise was

821
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: posting some highlights of Deonta Foreman Yeah on his on

822
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: his Twitter feed and they had he pulled out this

823
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,440
Speaker 1: great one. I think they're playing Texas Tech where the

824
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: dude just the guy who's supposed to like this completely

825
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: with like it was just that total business decisions. Oh

826
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: my gosh, like the guy no, it was the blocker

827
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,399
Speaker 1: doesn't block at all. Oh I see and he gets

828
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: taken down and and franchise and put the thing like

829
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: come on, Brett, like like that type of thing, and

830
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: it's it's why it's important to go and you're like

831
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: Texas was kind of garbage. They were not good. You

832
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,400
Speaker 1: gotta go back, gotta go back and watch and be

833
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: like okay, because if you're looking at yards per attempt,

834
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: there's things like well what happen Like there's instances like that.

835
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 1: I think it goes back. You know, you gotta kind

836
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: of really go back and watch and see what's happening.

837
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: It's what DJ was talking about on their podcast or

838
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: on Total Access or something where where he was like, yeah,

839
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: third and six throws, like how they how they face

840
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,439
Speaker 1: in certain situations, which tells a lot more. There there

841
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: was I think it was the Notre Dame quarterback. There

842
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: was a play where it like bounces. He said, look

843
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: at the interceptions where it bounces off some dude's hands

844
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: into yeah, perfect throw. But you know like him right. Um.

845
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: In terms of Deante for the last thing I'll say

846
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: about him is, uh, the tip that I've seen, great

847
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: big back, good speed, He's a little you know. He

848
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: he allows defenders to come into the body. That's kind

849
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: of where I am concerned. I don't know if he

850
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: can get away with that at the next level. But

851
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: it's a big question because he is two hunds and

852
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: he's a big It's like he's ever been scared of

853
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: contact because he's That's what it is. Where Christian McCaffrey

854
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 1: does a great job stiff arming guys and and creating

855
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,959
Speaker 1: just enough separation to break out of that tackle. Uh.

856
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,240
Speaker 1: Deontay Formant is the type of dude that will allow

857
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: defenders into his body and then just shed him with

858
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: leg power. Um. But you know, will that work in

859
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: the next level. I don't know, We'll see, Uh. Samant P. P.

860
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 1: Ryan is number seven on Zerlines list. He's out of Oklahoma,

861
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: believe it or not, he was actually the backup to

862
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon there in Oklahoma. A hundred ninety carries a

863
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: thousand yards five point four average in he had a

864
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,959
Speaker 1: bigger workload two five carries hundred yards a six point

865
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: oh average. Uh. He is a guy to me who

866
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: has allowed to prove it the combine as well. If

867
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,760
Speaker 1: he runs well, we're talking somewhere in the four fives.

868
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: This is a guy to me that could be an

869
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: absolute steal in the in the draft, and I'm really

870
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: excited to see what he does at the combine. Yeah, definitely.

871
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, that's because that's one of the things

872
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: you talk about is just finding these guys that are

873
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,280
Speaker 1: really gonna just jump out at you, Like Jordan Howard

874
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: last year and everything, and when he went to the Bears,

875
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 1: I was, you know, over the moon with all that stuff.

876
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 1: So he's somebody I like the Boise State running back

877
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: chances pick for to be this year's Jordan Howard. Right, Yeah,

878
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 1: I really, I really like. Uh. I watched a couple

879
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 1: of their You get a lot of those Boise Steak

880
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: games on and they you always gotta trying to balance

881
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 1: it out, you know, because the Mountain West. Let's I'll

882
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: be honest, the Mountain West might not be the best conference.

883
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: And it's very good, very fun, it's top heavy, it's

884
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: very it's very top. It's getting better. You've got Boise

885
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: State in San Diego State near the top. You and

886
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: l V getting better with Tommy Sanchez getting better. But

887
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: it is not it is not but still but so

888
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 1: there was a couple of but they still play pretty

889
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: good competition. They play Washington, they play some good teams,

890
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: and he's he's been impressive. And again, thankfully Doug Martin's

891
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: kind of taking that stigma of the like you can't

892
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,040
Speaker 1: do that anymore. So I think he's got a pretty

893
00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: good opportunity. And again, it all falls down to where

894
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: he's able to land. Who's he Who's he gonna go about?

895
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: But I think he's somebody to definitely watch coming into

896
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: the combine. The boys state Bronco the number eight running

897
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,479
Speaker 1: back according to the Great Lancer Early number nine is

898
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,840

902
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: I love this kid. I app he's a home run.

903
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: I like this statue put in there. Six of his

904
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns, went for forty three plus yards. Come on, brother,

905
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: come on, I love this kid. He's an absolute home

906
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: run hitter. Is he an every down guy? Man, I'm

907
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: not sure, but I do know this. He is an explosive,

908
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: explosive athlete. Number ten another small school guy, smallish school guy,

909
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt out of Toledo. This is this is a

910
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:10,400
Speaker 1: kid that's been absolutely I love Kareem Hunt. There you go. Five.

911
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of hype about him on Twitter. Uh,

912
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: and then I started, hype is growing, bro. I started

913
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: to watch it. It didn't take me long watching his

914
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: tape to realize what the hype was about. I mean, literally,

915
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: he gives you everything that you want. I mean, he's

916
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: got good balance, agility, good enough speed. You know, he's

917
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,920
Speaker 1: not he's not a burner. He's not gonna necessarily, you know,

918
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: while you with his forty time, but he's got enough

919
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: speed to be dangerous. He catches the ball. I think, Uh,

920
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,919
Speaker 1: you know, I just everything about him that I saw

921
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: I immediately fell in love with. And our friend on

922
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: Twitter rum for Johnny, who does a lot of really

923
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 1: good work hitting me up and he called him kind

924
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: of a young Frank Gore, and I just I got

925
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 1: heart eyes heart eye emo g when when that happened?

926
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: Because I I think this is a guy who was

927
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: a steel and I see him there. You know you

928
00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: haven't been number ten on Lance's Lancer Alines top ten um.

929
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: You know. I look at him and I just I

930
00:46:02,600 --> 00:46:04,720
Speaker 1: feel like, if you've the numbers in running back, somebody's

931
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: going to get a gym. Sure, I'll probably somewhere in

932
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: Day two of the draft, but he's exactly the guy

933
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: that I'm I mean, he's the kind of player where

934
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 1: you're saying, man, if this was another draft, you know

935
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, this is a third round draft pick.

936
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,000
Speaker 1: But in this year's draft, you could get this guy

937
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: in round five, round six. By the way, the one

938
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: of the things that people really like about Kareem Hunt

939
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: is the fact that he's sold versatile. He had forty

940
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 1: one receptions last year for four d and three yards.

941
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: That's really good. Kareem Hunt is is absolutely a nice

942
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 1: versatile weapon. We'll see. Now I say something about Kareem Hunt,

943
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: I'll be perfectly truthful with you. I didn't see a

944
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: lot of Toledo games. How dare you the only thing

945
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: that I when I when I hear like somebody like this,

946
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to go and I apologize.

947
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: I just want to be up front with everybody. I

948
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: haven't got a chance to go back and watch some

949
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,760
Speaker 1: of his games. Um, I always want to. I'm like, okay,

950
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: you're in the mac. What did you do against Western Michigan?

951
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 1: Like that's that's the one marquee team. He blitz that

952
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 1: team for two hundred yards pretty good. And that's one

953
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: of the things that's that's when you're like, Okay, I'll

954
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: take him serious. I'll go down and look. I'm interested

955
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: to think. Uh, because he didn't have great stats in

956
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: two thousand fifteen, but I think, but he's somebody I

957
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: do definitely want to go take a look at. And

958
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: these are the kind of guys that always seemed I

959
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:18,879
Speaker 1: hate to say come out of I hate to say

960
00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: come out of nowhere, but he's like that fifth round

961
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: back and somebody will be searching for somebody trying to

962
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: think a team like if Carolina ends up with him

963
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: or something like that, who could end up coming out

964
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: and being a very good value. But he's definitely somebody

965
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: to look for. And uh. Again, this is why, this

966
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 1: is why I dig the combine. Like I know, it's

967
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: underwear Olympics and everybody likes to make fun of it,

968
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 1: but like this is the cool stuff. Like to me,

969
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: this is like the cool stuff. And you're finding out

970
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 1: more about these guys and then going back and watching

971
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: their games and seeing what's gonna I really want to

972
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: go back and watch this Western Michigan game. I want

973
00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: to go back and see what was going on two

974
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 1: hundred yards against us, because the combine is really where

975
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: we found players like David Johnson and Stuffy. Yeah you

976
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 1: heard Stuf about him, but then he blew up the combine.

977
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: You went and watched the tape and you're like, wow,

978
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,440
Speaker 1: this kid might this kid might be something if he

979
00:48:03,440 --> 00:48:06,399
Speaker 1: can learn to be between the tackles and stuff. And

980
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: and this is not shameless cross promotion, although it is,

981
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: but honestly, Mike Mayock, Charles Robinson, the boys there at

982
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: the car, I mean, I cannot wait to see Charles Davis. Rather,

983
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait to hear what these guys have to

984
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: say about guys like Marlon Mack, about guys like Kareem Hunt,

985
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,240
Speaker 1: because they do sit down and watch hours of film

986
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: on all these dudes. DJ and all those guys. If

987
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: you were ever in this office and you wanted to

988
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: lose about an hour or your day just to sit

989
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: down with DJs or grab him as he's walking past

990
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: if he's not you know, going to be in one

991
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: of his fifty million media appearances and right like, hey, DJ,

992
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 1: what do you think about like player X? And then

993
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: you spiral into a conversation about other guys another guy.

994
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: Can't wait, I cannot wait the amount of information those guys,

995
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: and it's not all like fake, it's not TV that

996
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:49,880
Speaker 1: all that stuff is off the top of their heads

997
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 1: and their meticulous notes. Since it's awesome. Remember there was

998
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: one time, I think it was two years ago. It

999
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 1: was on day three of the draft. There was somebody

1000
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: so obscure year they didn't even have footage form right away,

1001
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 1: but DJ was like, oh, this is so and so

1002
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:05,919
Speaker 1: out of this place did this or whatever blah blah blah,

1003
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: And they found like a clip on YouTube and they

1004
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,879
Speaker 1: like played it the network. But DJ was like, yeah,

1005
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: I know this guy, and it was just like unbelievable.

1006
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 1: That is It's it's pretty dope, man, I can't wait. Hey,

1007
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:16,399
Speaker 1: let's make a call in to the wilderness to get

1008
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: the franchise's take on some of these running backs. All right,

1009
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: let's see if the franchise is available. If he's not,

1010
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna try the other Matt. See what he's got

1011
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: going on. But does he talk about running backs? Now?

1012
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: He doesn't talk about but he's done. He's done some

1013
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: breakdowns on the guy from West. I'm just I'm just

1014
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: letting fly right now. It's for franchise, Absolutely, I love it.

1015
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,920
Speaker 1: This is this is the bit is the franchise there?

1016
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: All right? That's the NFL Fast Life Podcast. What's up? Bell?

1017
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: Hey guys, Hey man, we're talking about combine, we're talking

1018
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:02,960
Speaker 1: about running backs. I know you've done a bunch of

1019
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: homework on this thing. Hey, can we get your take

1020
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: on Alfin Kamara from Tennessee. Ah, he's one of the

1021
00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: dudes I haven't looked at yet, but I know that

1022
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: there's some pipe round and being like a first round guy,

1023
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 1: and the jury is kind of out on that. I've

1024
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: watched a little bit of film on him, and I

1025
00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 1: just think he's more of like a committee guy than

1026
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 1: kay a true true feature back. Thank you for saying

1027
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:27,800
Speaker 1: that franchise because I've watched him a pretty fair amount.

1028
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:29,759
Speaker 1: And I watched a couple of Tennessee games this year

1029
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: and everything that I picked up from him was that

1030
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: he was basically the volunteers kind of third down pass

1031
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: catching back, and it was a backup for sure. Yeah.

1032
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they had a lot of different

1033
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,879
Speaker 1: guys running the football. John Kelly got a lot of carries. Uh,

1034
00:50:43,880 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: you know, Josh Dobbs who was the quarterback rand I

1035
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: think he actually let the team in Russie had last year. Um,

1036
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 1: and I just yeah, Jalen Hurd was there, but every

1037
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: time I saw Kamara, he was just kind of that

1038
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: third down pass catching back. And I just maybe I'm

1039
00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: not looking at the right things. I just don't quite

1040
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: understand how he's so highly rated. I don't get it.

1041
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: Lancer line and both both Lance and Mike Mayock have

1042
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 1: Kamara in their top five, so that is and I'm

1043
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: and I'm confused. I'm confused by it as well, because

1044
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: he was a backup. He had a hundred and three

1045
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: rushes five six yards. You know, he had forty receptions

1046
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: as well, which is pretty good and limited action. But

1047
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: I just again seeing what I saw, I don't I

1048
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: don't quite understand. But that's okay. Hey, listen, I do

1049
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: know that you did a nice ride up on this

1050
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 1: kid out of b y U, Jamal Williams. Can you

1051
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: give us a little debt on him? Yeah? I like him.

1052
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: He's uh, he's he's kind of got it all. He's

1053
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: got everything you want. He's got power. Basically takes an

1054
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:43,440
Speaker 1: army to bring him down, like his his toughness was amazing. Um,

1055
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 1: and he can catch the ball too. And I just

1056
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: I just I started watching film on some of the

1057
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: more the lesser known guys. I like to work my

1058
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:54,640
Speaker 1: way up and like treat myself to the fore net

1059
00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 1: of the world. But just from just from seeing Williams

1060
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 1: like he uh, the only the only weakness I really

1061
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: saw was like his top end speed. There are a

1062
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: few like breakaway runs or some guys caught up to him.

1063
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,359
Speaker 1: So I'm just really curious to see how he does

1064
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: that combine and like see what his forty time is,

1065
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 1: because I think that will be a very telling as

1066
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: to where he might be looked at in the draft.

1067
00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's probably gonna be a value for any

1068
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,279
Speaker 1: team that takes him. I think he's looking at like

1069
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,480
Speaker 1: a third round pick. But uh, he I think he

1070
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: has what it takes to be a three down back

1071
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL for sure. Do you think he's a

1072
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: little stiff? I kind of read Jamal Williams as more

1073
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: of a you know, between the tackles grinder that if

1074
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: you wanted to get three yards, if you want to

1075
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 1: get that short yardage area, Jamal Williams is your guy.

1076
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,240
Speaker 1: Um Again, you talked about that lack of top end speed.

1077
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 1: I just didn't see a lot of wiggle either. Was

1078
00:52:47,120 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 1: that a concern of yours? I mean I I was

1079
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 1: just uh, kind of blown away by his toughness and

1080
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: his ability to break tackles and just kind of stay

1081
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: stay on his feet when guys are coming at him.

1082
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: Most of what I saw was bit of about him,

1083
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 1: and I don't think he uh, you know, the other

1084
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: the other knock on a lot of these kids coming

1085
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: out of college is their ball security issues, and that

1086
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: was one of his strength too. So I don't think

1087
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: he could. Did he Did he give it up? I

1088
00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: don't even know if he gave it up at all

1089
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,400
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, did he? I don't think I forget

1090
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,240
Speaker 1: what the number was in my article. I think maybe

1091
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: four fumbles his entire college career. That's amazing. That's pretty

1092
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: good stuff. Any other lesser known running back some some

1093
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 1: deep guys that that we should know about. I'm not

1094
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 1: that deep yet. I'm looking at Dante Dante Foreman out

1095
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: of Texas. Give it, give me the lowdown on Foreman. Oh, well,

1096
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 1: he's huge. He two hundred and fifty pounds, which is

1097
00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: about what Derrick Henry way coming out of school. But

1098
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,960
Speaker 1: he's like a couple inches shorter, so he's more compact.

1099
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: He's got really thick legs um and good power and

1100
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: for a guy his guys, his speed are really quick

1101
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: um and he has surprising long speed too. So he's

1102
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: another another guy who I'll be watching the sporty time closely.

1103
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: But he's definitely the One thing about Foreman is he

1104
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 1: doesn't catch the ball. I think he has seven receptions

1105
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 1: last season, So he's not going to be like a

1106
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: three down guy who stays in on passing down. But

1107
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: he's he's going to be a good goal line like

1108
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: power type, early down banger type guy. Absolutely love it.

1109
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,160
Speaker 1: Before we let you go, give me a daily dap

1110
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: uh uh the new Electric Guest album. I don't know

1111
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 1: if you guys know about this band, but it's basically

1112
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 1: like two guys. And they put an album out like

1113
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: three or four years ago that Danger Mouse produced and

1114
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 1: it was really good since and they just put a

1115
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: new one out last week that I'm really in love with.

1116
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,760
Speaker 1: I think the song I like most is called Devil.

1117
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 1: They'll check that out. That man is electric. Guest, you

Speaker 1: Deapp goes out to j. K Rowling for two reasons. One,

1141
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: I have been itching to reread the Harry Potter series

1142
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: and I haven't done it in probably over a decade.

1143
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 1: So I stole the book off of our neighbor shelf

1144
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: and I pola powered through the first one in a

1145

1149
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: to a movie coming out this weekend called get Out.

1150
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: I saw it last night in early screening. It is

1151
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 1: like a horror thriller movie written by Jordan Peel, who's

1152
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: half of Key and Peel, the comedy duo. The movie

1153
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: is awesome, really, it was phenomenal. It was a great

1154
00:56:56,160 --> 00:56:59,640
Speaker 1: like horror thriller. It's got some biting kind of social

1155
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: commentary in it, and there are also just some hilariou

1156
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: flat out hilarious scenes in it too. It's not like

1157
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,439
Speaker 1: I wouldn't bill it as a horror comedy. But there's

1158
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: a lot of great uh laugh inducing moments and some

1159
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,279
Speaker 1: good shocks and twists and a really cool idea and

1160
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: it was just an awesome movie. It's sitting in a

1161
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: D percent on Rotten Tomatoes right now. WHOA, But if

00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: a lot like Highlander actually, where you have to die

1214
00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: first to find out if you're uh immortal. That's what

1215
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: a crappy way to figure out if you're in world, right,

1216
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: because if you're wrong. Right. But but the point is

1217
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: that once you are discovered to be an a gene, uh,

1218
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: the government will snatch you up and do horrible experimentations

1219
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: on you. This no win situation, and you're dead. You're

1220
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: getting experimented. That's exactly right. Now, there's an a gene revolution.

1221
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:22,919
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah blah blah. Anyways, whatever, go check it out.

1222
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,080

1226
01:00:39,320 --> 01:00:42,200

1227
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: planets are no? Yeah, round or flat round? And it's

1228
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: obviously obviously Kyrie Irvin is trolling everybody. I love him

1268
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: I treated. But I mean we get to a point

1269
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: we we take away senior citizens driver's licenses from them

1270
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: when we feel like they're a danger. We're talking about

1271
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 1: a man who's seventy four years old, who's having problems

1272
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: flying an airplane? Yes, that's that's not cool. He like

1273
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: he crashed on it on a golf course two years ago, right,

1274
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: was there to document the whole thing that was journal

1275
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: back nine and a plane crashes, like I should take

1276
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: some bigs, But that was that was engine failure, right,

1277
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: Like he had to dump it. He was trying to

1278
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: get to Santa Monica Airport, which wasn't far from there.

1279
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,439
Speaker 1: But he put it down on the fairways. And it's

1280
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: a small golf public you know, part three, part three course.

1281
01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: He landed on the par three. No, it's a part thirty,

1282
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: like it's nine holes, but no, no, no, But that's

1283
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. He landed on a part three course. Basically,

1284
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: that's amazing. That's even more impressive. So maybe he should

1285
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 1: keep it. But shouldn't you have like you should have

1286
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:43,880
Speaker 1: age limits for that, Like yeah, like you can't drive

1287
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 1: to your sixteen, but you can't fly once you're seventy

1288
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:52,560
