Remember last week 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:53.480 I talked about um the concussion protocol in the NFL 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:55.520 playoffs and how I thought it was a joke on 0:01:55.560 --> 0:01:58.160 how I thought it was just about playcating the public 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:00.560 so that it looks like they have the eyes of 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:03.960 caring about players safety. Well, I have some very interesting 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.240 audio from one of the pre eminent defensive players in 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:12.280 the NFL, and he one percent agrees with what Speeds 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.960 was saying last week. Remember also yesterday I did my 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:20.000 confidence ranks of the top defenses. I ranked the defenses 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.840 that are still remaining on championships Sunday one through four. Today, 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.160 we're gonna do the same thing, but we're gonna do 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:31.160 it with the offenses. Okay, Yes, everyone knows Tom Brady 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:32.960 is a Hall of Fame quarterback. And then there is 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:36.800 a gap until the other three but I might surprise 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.440 you with the team that I have in the number 0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.119 two spot in terms of the offenses that I am 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:47.120 most confident in going into championships. Sunday. We are also 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.440 going to put the fun in functional sports radio. I've 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.720 got a lot of interesting stories to touch on. I 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.280 want to see what the hashtag stats over beat cipher 0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:58.240 has to say about them. But one that's really interesting. 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.359 I'm over here in New York right we got snowstorms 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.000 and stuff like that. It is crazy to me about 0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:10.919 how a snowstorm paralyzes major cities in the South. We're 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:12.639 gonna get to that and I'm gonna show you how 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.840 that happened today in one southern city. I also gotta 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:18.239 pull question up, uh, Danny, we gotta get this going 0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.360 on the YouTube chat as well.

Right here in the Fantasy 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:55.360 Sports Radio Network you are listening live to the Fantasy Freestyle. 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:58.400 You can hear it every Monday through Friday seven at 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.360 eight pm Eastern time time. As we put the fun 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.520 in Functional sports radio. I gotta start off though, as 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.479 I usually do with news and notes from around the NFL. 0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:10.000 It is a Wednesday, and if you remember from the 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:13.400 regular season, Wednesday is the first day that injury reports 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.880 come out, that practice reports come out. Now, I'm gonna 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.240 tell you right now, I'm about to read some injury reports. 0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:22.480 All of these people they are going to play, okay. 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:25.279 They are going to play on Sunday. The only insight 0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.640 here is if they may be hampered or limited in 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.760 any fashion. Adam I got a ceiling. He's got a 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:35.840 back injury. He did not practice today. Tom Brady apparently 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:40.039 injured his hand yesterday in practice, jammed his throwing hand. 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.400 Tom Brady is going to play okay, but it is interesting. 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.000 It's never good when a quarterback jams his hand in 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:47.960 the week of practice and only gets in a limited 0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:50.240 session the next day. The other big name I want 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:52.960 to note, Leonard for Nett, got in a limited practice. 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.000 Remember he left and then returned to the divisional playoff 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.080 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with that ankle injury. I'm 0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.000 telling you they are all going to play this Sunday, 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:05.800 all right. In a story that I was talking about 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:11.000 earlier in the week, already, the Steelers and Todd Haley 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.960 are partying ways as the offensive coordinator. The quarterbacks coach 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:20.000 Randy Fickner is the favorite to assume the offensive coordinator role. Listen, 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.480 this is pretty much Speeds calling his shot. And yet 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.120 again we said this. We said that there was friction 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.080 between him and Big Ben Roethlisberger. We said that Big 0:06:29.120 --> 0:06:32.880 Ben wanted this other guy, Randy Fickner to the quarterback coach, 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:35.120 to come in and almost be a buffer. Well, he 0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:37.599 will now be the offensive coordinator. And you know what, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.720 I think it's funny. I told you guys earlier in 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:42.360 the week. Here's what Ben said on his radio show. 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.520 He said that we're on the cusp, so the least 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:50.920 amount of change is best. Maybe that wasn't about keeping Haley. 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:54.719 Maybe instead that was actually about keeping his guy, the 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:58.279 quarterback coach, Fickner, in their force stability. I think that 0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.200 is very interesting and once a end, I'm telling you, 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:05.080 this is the sort of stuff that happens when you lose. 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:09.760 Haley is gone. We heard that Limited Partners wanted Tomlin 0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:12.520 out and he's getting a ton of criticism. I'm telling you, 0:07:12.760 --> 0:07:15.360 if the New England Patriots do not bring it home 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:20.480 with McDaniels, leaving, with Patricia leaving after Jimmy Garoppolo has left, 0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:23.640 we are going to start hearing the kind of behind 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.720 the scenes under the rugs stuff at some point. Boy, 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.960 I will buy that book when it comes out. More 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:35.200 news today, Um, it looks like a reunion for the 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.400 Tampa Bay Bucks and the muscle hamster is probably not 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:41.400 in the cards. They are saying that bug Doug Martin 0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:43.760 will not return to the Tampa Bay Bucks and he'll 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.600 be in the free agent market. I gotta wonder, though, 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.400 do you really want Doug Martin? He's coming up, I 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:52.680 think on his age thirty season, he's been suspended before, 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.400 he's had an injury history. Like, if you had a choice, 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.280 if you are a franchise in need of a running back, 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:00.440 Let's say you're the Giants, Let's say you're the Lions. 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:06.720 You know, would you prefer Doug Martin or DeMarco Murray, 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:08.640 who we heard the same thing about a couple of 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:11.280 days ago as related to the Tennessee Titans. Or what 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:13.280 about Carlos Hyde. I think Carlos Hide is a step 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.600 above these guys because he's younger. But which of these 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.240 guys would you want? Who? Who do you think is 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:21.720 gonna get snapped up first in the off season. I 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.520 think there's not really that huge of a market for 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.160 either one of them. And I bring this up again 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.800 Doug Martin, because this is just another example of why 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.079 you fade what you see on Hard Knocks. Everybody was like, oh, 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.680 Doug Martin, such a great leader, blah blah blah. No 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.439 he wasn't. He was suspended for four games, never looked 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:41.360 the same. They got the same production from guys like 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.800 Pop Quiz, Jock Uiz Rogers, Peyton Barber, and they had 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.880 Sims as the PPR back. He wasn't really that big 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:52.000 of a deal. But if you watched Hard Knocks, then 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.080 you think so. And that reminds me of our pole 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.320 question that we have up that I want to hear 0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:58.600 about from people in the YouTube chat with the hashtag 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:00.760 stats over beats, I for what team do you want 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:03.160 to see on Hard Knocks next year? Maybe you don't 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.480 want a team you see your team on Hard Knocks 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.720 because it is like a curse. Why. I think the 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:11.000 Raiders would be interesting. I think the Jags would be interesting. 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.120 I think the Niners would be interesting. I think the 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.360 Vikings would be interesting. Someone on the on the good 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.160 old Twitter machine already told me what about the Lions, 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.439 that they would be interesting. Someone's interested in the Seahawks 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.520 or the Chargers. Let me know. Let me know in 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:26.920 the chat room as well. Jarvis Landry is looking for 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.960 a deal in the range of what Davante Adams got. 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.440 Davanta Adams got four years for fifty eight million. Will 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.720 that happen for a slot receiver though, that is the 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.440 question right now. The highest paid slot receivers or like 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:42.520 Keenan Allen, guys like Doug Baldwin, they're making eleven million 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.160 dollars a year, not the fourteen or fifteen the big 0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:49.880 time X outside wide receivers get like Davante Adams signed. 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.199 And also the Cowboys look like they may in that 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:57.800 fact franchise tag DeMarcus Lawrence. Okay, first of all, the 0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:01.560 D line franchise tag is seventeen millions, So you're do 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.800 and I and this is a guy. Listen. He had 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.280 fourteen and a half sacks another I think four forced fumbles. 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.880 This guy really came into his own and provided that 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.400 pass rush that the Cowboys had been searching for since 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:17.640 the DeMarcus ware moved on from them all right. One 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.480 of the things I wanted to talk about here on 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.720 the Fantasy Freestyle tonight. I mentioned it before, how last 0:10:22.720 --> 0:10:24.200 week I told you I think the NFL has a 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:29.360 concussion protocol problem. We saw Travis Kelsey get banged out 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:30.920 in the wild card round, and we also saw Cam 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:35.880 Newton get his clock cleaned, but then only have an 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.400 eye injury because and if you heard me last week, 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.640 I said, this is gonna be a problem. One of 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:44.160 the studs are gonna get banged out. Well, they got 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.559 lucky in Division weekend. It didn't happen, and they removed 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.960 Drew Brees from the equation. They removed Big Ben from 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.160 the equation. These are some of the good old boy 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:54.000 face of the league stars that if they had to 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.720 deal with this, it would be a problem. At this point, 0:10:56.840 --> 0:10:59.600 It's really like, what if Tom Brady or Rob Gronkowski 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.600 gets back, doubt right, that would be the only people 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.400 that would kind of make headlines. But what I find 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.800 interesting is, uh, I told you one of the preeminent 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.560 players on defense in the NFL agrees with me. On 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:14.000 the Players Tribune recently, Richard Sherman was asked this exact 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:18.600 question about the concussion protocol. Listen to his answer and 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.480 then compare it up against what I said last week. 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:23.920 If you remember me and Richard Sherman. Sherman needs to 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:26.280 be part of the hashtag stats over beat cipher. Listen 0:11:26.280 --> 0:11:28.520 to what Richard Sherman said on the Players Tribune as 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:31.600 it relates to this concussion protocol. Concussion protocol and what 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:36.120 you consider donating your brain to CT research UM. I 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:42.679 think it's an absolute job. It's for public opinion for 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.400 them to to show the public that they care about 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:48.840 the players, they care about players safety, and to show 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:51.480 of good faith and goodwill. They said, we're gonna have 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:58.400 an independent trauma expert and independent neurologists approved. And in 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.560 the same things are happening that we're happening for the 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:04.880 Tom Savage um play or he was looked at by 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.880 the independent neurologists and they have proved him to go 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:09.839 back into the game, and now the team is being 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.520 ridy cute. How about the league it's ridic cute for 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.719 letting him go back in the game because they approved it. 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:17.240 The independent neurologist which is hired by Leave approved for 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:18.920 him to go back in the game. No, no, not 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:20.920 donate my brain science. My brain is gonna stay in 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:25.920 my head. Irman. Sherman said the exact same things that 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:28.680 I was saying. One he agrees with me, thinking that 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.480 it's like all about public opinion and just peace of 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.920 mind for the public. That's exactly what I said. I 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.079 drew the analogy to people taking their shoes off in 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.680 the damn airplane line. He agreed. He cites the Tom 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:42.360 Savage play absolutely. If there was an independent neurologist, he 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.880 wouldn't have seen Tom Savage shaking on the turf and 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.280 be like, nah, I think your day is done. No, 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:54.160 Sherman makes a great point. The independent neurologists are paid 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:59.320 by the NFL, so they're gonna do whatever. Daddy Warbucks says, 0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:02.680 I told you. I think they got lucky. They got 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:06.240 through this divisional round with no head injuries to any 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:10.520 of their key guys. Drew Brees stood upright, Big Ben, 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:16.960 Leavian Bell, Antonio Brown, Alvin Kamara all stayed upright. And 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.000 I think that was very important, you know. I mean, 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:23.080 if we had seen something like that, I still think 0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:25.720 there is a chance that they have to face this. 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.800 Um what happens if you know, Nick Foles gets banged 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.320 down the Eagles, who everybody thought and who I thought 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.160 was gonna be one of the best teams. Then down 0:13:33.200 --> 0:13:35.120 to the third string quarterback or something like that. But 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:37.440 check this out. I think this is also interesting. Check 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.000 out what Richard Sherman also said to the question of 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.199 would he let his kids play football. Yes, yes, my 0:13:44.320 --> 0:13:46.240 kids are gonna play football. Hey, we probably might play 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.760 more football. It's one of his kids right there. The 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:53.960 attack of the little people. Um, it's the ultimate team sport. 0:13:54.200 --> 0:14:00.280 It teaches discipline, it teaches teamwork, accountability, dependability. I think 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:03.200 it'll help you know overcoming fear, being courageous. I know 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:04.720 how to tackle, I know how to play the game. 0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:06.360 I'm going to teach my kids to play the game 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:08.920 the right way and it'll be fine. Point all right. 0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.000 So there you have it, rich Sherman. That was on 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:12.920 the player's Tribute. I thought it was very interesting. People 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.040 consider Richard Sherman a lot of the Seahawks to be, like, 0:14:15.280 --> 0:14:19.640 you know, very progressive and enlightened and intellectual guys. Turns 0:14:19.640 --> 0:14:21.600 out he's saying the same exact thing. I think the 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.120 concussion Protocol is a joke. The NFL only has to 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:27.240 deal with it for three more games, and these I 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.960 risk situations. But I'm telling you for me the candidates, 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.960 what happens if Tom Brady gets rocked and is shaking 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:39.400 on the turf? What about Rob Gronkowski? Right? What about 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:41.240 Nick Foles? If the Eagles have to go to their 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:44.040 third string quarterback? You know what if what if Blake 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:46.840 Bortles at this point gets knocked out? What would that 0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.240 do to his story? Leonard four Nett? What would that 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.320 do to the Jaguars? Okay? I think this is very interesting, 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.280 and I think the NFL is walking a very slippery 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:59.040 slope with the independent neurologist because they are on the 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:03.320 NFL take like everybody else. And the concussion protocol is 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:07.240 a sham. Just look at what happened with Cam Newton 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.000 in the wild card around all right, when we come 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.360 back here on the fantasy freestyle, I ranked my confidence 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.360 in the defenses that are left. I do the same 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:17.520 for the offenses that are left. Yeah, the Patriots a one. 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.920 Come find out how I ranked the left the rest. 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.640 Come on back. It's a fantasy freestyle with stable genius 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:30.400 speeds and spitting statistician. Hey there, everybody, it's me Joe 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:33.520 Peza Pia Baseball is back, and that means the Fantasy 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:36.720 Baseball Black Book is back as well. It's me it's 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.640 Paul Spore writing starting Pitching Profiles, It's Jake Seey, It's 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.040 Sammy Reid writing DFS. It's a whole lot of greatness 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.160 right here for you. You can get the New Fantasy 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.520 Black Book for Baseball on Amazon, on iTunes, you can 0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:51.520 get it in paperback, you can get it for your kindle. 0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.760 You can get it anywhere you want. But make sure 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:55.800 you get it because once you go black Book, you 0:15:55.880 --> 0:16:09.960 never go back. Welcome back to the Fantasy Freestyle right 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.600 here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, and Stain Martinez 0:16:12.640 --> 0:16:16.040 holding you down on a Wednesday hump Day havoc here 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.880 on the Fantasy Freestyle. I had someone hit me up 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:22.080 because you know, we've got Blake Bortles enclosed in glass 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:24.400 over here. If you're watching here on the YouTube stream, 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.680 I want to be careful. One of these things is 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.080 with packaging, meaning glass, because we don't want any concussions 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.720 to befall any of the quarterbacks that are left on 0:16:31.800 --> 0:16:33.960 Championship Sunday. But I do want to make it clear 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:37.720 for anybody who's watching anybody who's listening and anybody who 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.600 cares about the way that we are honoring our fallen mascot, 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:45.400 Ted Finn Jr. No, Blake Bortles encased in glass is 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.320 not the new mascot of the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. 0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:52.080 We just wanted to uh, you know, profile here Bordal 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.400 service real quick. And Jake Seeley was asking about Bordal service. 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.520 I don't know, Hey, Jake, if you're listening, I gotta 0:16:57.520 --> 0:16:59.200 tell you the Bordal service wasn't for his team. It 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:02.960 was that he offers Bordal service to the opponent. Okay, 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:04.879 that's what that was for. But listen, we got a 0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:07.639 lot of topics that we're talking about here on the 0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:09.640 Fantasy Freestyle. We were talking about what team you want 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.399 to see in on Hard Knocks. We gotta poll question 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:15.560 up on Twitter already over two hundred votes. A lot 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:17.920 of people have some interesting ideas. But you know, I'm 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:21.280 learning about these clauses as well. Like people out there 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:25.600 on the responses are saying, listen that um that, uh 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:29.600 Oakland would be great, but they are disqualified because they 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.720 have a new head coach, so that you can't be 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.320 on Hard Knocks if you have a new uh first 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:36.560 year head coach. Um also Clayton Trey Hand who always 0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:38.520 responds to the polls. Big up to Clayton, shout out 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:43.320 their hashtag stats over beat. Cipher says that, Um, the 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.919 Jags would be great, but they don't have to do 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.080 it because they were a playoff team. So I didn't 0:17:48.119 --> 0:17:49.760 know that there were all these I just thought pretty 0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:52.040 much like if you had done it already, you don't 0:17:52.080 --> 0:17:53.359 have to do it. I guess you have the right 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.439 of first refusal in certain situations first year head coach, 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.120 apparently if you are a playoff team, like a couple 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:01.320 of years ago. Though they did the Los Angeles Rams 0:18:01.320 --> 0:18:03.080 when they moved from St. Louis to Los Angeles, you 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:05.040 don't think they had enough of a burden to deal with. 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.359 They had Jeff Fisher as their coach, for God's sakes. 0:18:07.359 --> 0:18:09.520 I mean that is a burden to deal with. We 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.960 were also talking about the concussions and how I think 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:16.200 the concussion Protocol is a joke, especially in the NFL playoffs, 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.080 and Richard Sherman agrees with me, So hit me up 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.720 if you want at eight four eight, four, three seven nine. 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.920 You could also chime in on Twitter at Spitting Speeds. 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:27.520 You can chime in on the YouTube live stream in 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:29.720 the chat room. My boy Danny will be talking about 0:18:29.880 --> 0:18:31.719 what's going on in the chat room with the hashtag 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.720 stats over beat Cipher. A little bit later on in 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:36.680 the show, what I wanted to do, I told you 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:40.000 yesterday I ranked the confidence that I had in the 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:43.400 defenses that was still live in the NFL playoffs here 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:45.520 on Championship Sunday. I'm gonna do the same today with 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.760 the offenses. Okay, yes, Number one is the Patriots and 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.240 Tom Brady. Right. I was saying it before we talked 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.200 about do you still need a franchise quarterback in order 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.119 to win in today's NFL? That pole wound up being 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.520 about sixty forty. Listen, I think you do, and I 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:03.879 think Tom Brady is the only one left. Okay, So 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:06.359 that is in essence part in the pun. But the 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:10.239 trump card for the New England Patriots, they have, you know, 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.119 a Hall of Fame quarterback, the top five quarterbacks some 0:19:13.119 --> 0:19:15.919 people believe, the best quarterback of all time. Going up 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:20.280 against teams that have inexperience quarterbacks, you know, do not 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:24.920 have that tried in true experience at the quarterback position. Now, 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:27.240 they could have been Matt Ryan, could have been Drew Brees, 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:29.840 could have been Big Ben, but it wasn't. Here's the 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:31.760 other thing of why the Pats in the number one offense. 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:38.800 Rob Gronkowski is the biggest threat remaining in in the 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:43.000 NFL playoffs. Rob Gronkowski is the best offensive weapon remaining 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:46.240 in the NFL playoffs. If the Pittsburgh Steelers were still here, 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.600 I would have said Levian Bell or Antonio Brown, But 0:19:48.640 --> 0:19:51.840 at this point, Rob Gronkowski is. I think it's really interesting, though, 0:19:51.840 --> 0:19:54.880 what are the Jazz gonna do with Gronk? I wouldn't 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:57.400 be surprised if they just straight up put Jalen Ramsey 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.480 on him. Forget about the covering the outside guys like 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.040 the Hogans or the cooks. Tom Brady's bread is buttered 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:07.520 with seam routes to Rob Gronkowski and the backside of 0:20:07.520 --> 0:20:10.119 the backfield. I would put Jalen Ramsey straight up on 0:20:10.240 --> 0:20:12.520 Rob Gronkowski. You want to be a big boy, You 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.440 want to talk crap to all these elite wide receivers. 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:17.600 You want to plant your flag and prove that you 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:19.040 are the man, that you are one of the best 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.400 cornerbacks in the NFL, go and stick number eighty seven 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.800 in the a f C Championship game and shut him out. 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:27.520 You know, That's what I think they should do. And 0:20:27.560 --> 0:20:30.040 the other thing is, listen, I think Rex Burkhead might 0:20:30.040 --> 0:20:32.240 be back for this a f C Championship game, and 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:34.960 that makes them very diverse, very dynamic. I've told you 0:20:35.040 --> 0:20:38.359 all season long, the Patriots heard at running back between 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:42.919 Dion Lewis, James White, Rex Burkhead, even Mike Gilliesly at 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:44.919 the beginning of the season. You never know, and that 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:48.000 is good for the real team, bad for the fantasy team. 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.240 When I give my DFS plays and my fantasy plays 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:53.359 later on in the week, you will see why. Um 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:58.600 my number two team, though it may surprise you, it's 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.840 the Philadelphia Eagles, okay, and here's why. Okay, I look, 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:05.760 I look at the Eagles and the Vikings as very similar, 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.679 I really do. And when it comes to offense, okay, 0:21:08.720 --> 0:21:11.840 I actually think case Keenum is the second best quarterback 0:21:12.280 --> 0:21:15.480 left playing right. I think Keenum has a slight edge 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:18.840 on folds when it comes to quarterback right quarterback play. 0:21:19.160 --> 0:21:21.800 So I'll give you that, right, but look at their 0:21:21.800 --> 0:21:24.720 skill players I think it's kind of a wash. I 0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.280 think it's kind of a wash. You know, at running back, 0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:29.639
