17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: different segments, but you know, we're just a couple of

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: days away now. Right from from kickoff. It's it's amazing.

19
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: We've got like a million head. I think forty or

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: forty five minutes of this podcast are gonna be spent

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: on headline. Probably well, it was the big cuts weekend.

22
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: Final rosters were set a lot of interesting players, So

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm not like, obviously, no like crazy fantasy stars were

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: cut or anything like that, but a lot of guys

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: that have had a lot of discussion about, you know,

26
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: this offseason, have might be on a new team or

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: found themselves looking for work. So I agree. And the

28
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: first guy that comes to mind is Jonas Gray, who

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 1: we all thought could be a decent sleeper in Week

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: one because the Garrett Blunt suspended. Guess what, who the

31
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: heck is the Patriots running back? Now, Lewis, I have

32
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: no idea. Belichick doesn't tell us anything. He hates us.

33
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: So we've got headlines of course coming up here in

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,080

00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: has been Actually I think he was by association. Oh

44
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: that's right, don't know, because you had to step out,

45
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: had to step out. Remember you was adapted by associate. Right,

46
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: I did your dab because you got called into something

47
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: else there. I had to do your dat for you.

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,839
Speaker 1: There it was wrestling related. Oh that's right, that's right. Yeah,

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: let's hit the top headlines, the camera highlights in the

50
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: world of sport, breaking breaking news likely continue to follow

51
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: breaking news news, your wife, All right, we start in Tennessee.

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: David Cobb shed a tear alex Gilhart. David Cobb was

53
00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: placed on IR with a bad calf, which means he's

54
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: out for the for at least the first eight games

55
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: of the season. That means it's Bishop Sankey time or

56
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: is it? The team then immediately traded for Cleveland's Terrence

57
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: West for a conditional seventh round pick in team that

58
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: according to NFL media and sider Ian rappaports, so that

59
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: means it's Terrence West time. Well. Also now, because ESPN

60
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: is reporting that Tennessee is housting recently cut Jonas Gray

61
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: out of New England, and that meeting is happening today.

62
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: This just the whole backfield is disgusting. It's awful, just gross.

63
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: It is awful beyond belief. If they end up signing

64
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: Jonas Gray, I don't think there's no one you can

65
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: pick up there. Well, they still have what Antonio Andrews

66
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: there as well. They have Dexter mccluster there as well,

67
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: So it would really be um a mess, a further

68
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: mess if they did Jones scrape. But I don't think

69
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: they're as as running back needy as a couple of

70
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: other teams around the league. I mean the Browns, they

71
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: they actually still need a running back after dealing West,

72
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: because right now all they have is Isaiah Coroll shot

73
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: the concussion issues. I heard they actually might. I was

74
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: seeing whispers that they might get back, get Sean Drone back. No,

75
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: stop it, that's a real thing. Stop it. In September,

76
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: the most difficult name to spell Sean Drones too many

77
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: vowels in the middle of both. Sean drawn is what

78
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: it looks like. I don't even doesn't even look like Sean.

79
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like s h a h. No. I

80
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: think he's got a g A does I think I

81
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: know the drones got a g setting good at obscure NFL.

82
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: You're right, James shon drone is one where I have

83
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: to have to look at up everything. It sounds simple

84
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: as ll right, it's gonna be oh, just sean, it's

85
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: gonna be s e A N drone or at or

86
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 1: at worth s h A W N right, But no, no, no,

87
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,599
Speaker 1: it's uh, there's too many veils. Anyways. Yeah, this this

88
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: backfield is like, you're not gonna I mean, I'm not.

89
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: I was the only one I was ever touching was Cobb,

90
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,799
Speaker 1: and I figured he was going to be a stash

91
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: and he was gonna have to come on later. But

92
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: I've dropped him in several leagues now because on I

93
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: R Nobody's it's not worth it not keep him in

94
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: mind for later, especially if this backfield of Jamok's, you know, struggles,

95
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: backfield of sadness is what this all? Right? Let's say,

96
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: can I throw out a hypothetical here? Why not? How

97
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: about if Jonas Great does not get signed, does Terrence West?

98
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: I mean he at least becomes a very interesting player. No,

99
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: he's worth like a back of the roster stash potentially,

100
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying that because Bishop Synky wasn't what

101
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: we thought he could have been last year, although reports

102
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: did say that he has had a pretty good training

103
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: camp and maybe the light came on for him. We'll

104
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: see what happens, but it's probably the worst running back

105
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: situation in the entire league from a fantasy perspective, because

106
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 1: not one of their two guys the top depth chart

107
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: is worth even rostering is more than an r before.

108
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: They're not even like exciting athletically or anything like in

109
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: Dallas where you're like, oh man, Joey Randall, he's pretty

110
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 1: fun to watch, or like now they've got Kristen Michael

111
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 1: will get there. But like this Tennessee backfield, it's just

112
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: it's gross. I wish I had like a vomit sound

113
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: drop because I would have played that you know what

114
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: you Gotta get? I thought was from like family guy, Yeah,

115
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, Peter and Brian. I feel like the only

116
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: good thing about David Comen, the only good thing, but

117
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: the biggest thing about him was his youth. The fact

118
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: that he was so young and had so much upside

119
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: it was worth taking a shot on. But I'm with

120
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: I'm with Geller. I mean I had him in a league.

121
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: I I picked him up as kind of a late

122
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: round stash or as soon as I heard the news,

123
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: I I dropped him when he got Stevie Johnson off

124
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: the way. Harmon was laughing at me and as at

125
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: our apartment as I was dropping David Cop from all

126
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: my ros. That man is evil, Yes, he is, he

127
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: is evil. He's he's an evil. Nay, you have had

128
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: a you've had a tough offseason, gel Hard, David Cop,

129
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson both your two of my boys. I mean,

130
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: Jody's on my tea on you know, my the team

131
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: that I follow in real life. And David Cobb was

132
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: one of the guys I was most excited about coming

133
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: into the league. So we'll just have to wait. I'll

134
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 1: take this train back up in like six weeks and

135
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: be like, everybody pick him back up when Bishop Sanki

136
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: is averaging two point three yards per carry and Terence

137
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: West is you know, behind the line, So well, we'll

138
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: come back to it, all right, We move on, Speaking

139
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: of committees in Dallas, the running back waters have been

140
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 1: muddied even further now the team has traded for Kristen

141
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: Michael out of Seattle. I our very own Michael Robinson,

142
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: former Seahawk, knows Kristen Michael very well called the former

143
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: Texas and in product a quote complete runner, and he's

144
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: very confident Michael will take the number one job there

145
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: in Dallas. How confident are you that Michael can be

146
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: I'll lead back in Dallas. I love Mike rob but

147
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to respectfully disagree there. Randall's the guy that

148
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm targeting. I have lost a little faith in him.

149
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,119
Speaker 1: I thought he could break out this year. I still

150
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: think he'll lead the Cowboys in backfield touch is. But

151
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: Dallas made this move I think more for depth purposes

152
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: than anything else. But let's put it this way, Joe

153
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: Randall hasn't exactly been the picture of health. He dealt

154
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: with a few things during training camp. Darren McFadden is

155
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,119
Speaker 1: the poster child for injured players in the National Football League,

156
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: So if the right scenarios fall into place, you could

157
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: be looking at Christian Michael getting a shot to run

158
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: behind arguably the best offensive line in the National Football League.

159
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: If you're in a league with twelve or more teams,

160
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: I say he's a stash uh inten team leagues. Maybe not,

161
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: maybe not so much. Um, It's certainly a situation to watch.

162
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: But keep this in mind too. The Giants are the

163
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys opponent this week. They stink okay, their defense is

164
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: not good. J PP is likely not going to play.

165
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: So if one of the two Cowboy running backs, and

166
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: I think it will be Randall, comes out and plays

167
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: really well, well, I think Christian Michael's name is going

168
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: to be sort of pushed back, uh back into the

169
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: the uh the afterthought category for from a fantasy standpoint.

170
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens against the g Men, and

171
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: maybe Randall or McFadden will actually be able to distance

172
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: themselves uh in this race to see who's gonna lead

173
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: the Cowboys backfield and touches y'all, y'all have phute with

174
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: that the the the Cowboy running back situation, it's the

175
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: Patriots with a better offensive line. There is a whole

176
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: bunch of guys back to the We're gonna get all

177
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: sorts of touches and carried. I said last week, I

178
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: put this on Twitter. I had a gift, analogy brother.

179
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: I had a gift when when it looked like the

180
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: Cowboys might be making a deal from Monte Ball. It

181
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: was a gift of wiley coyote running off a cliff,

182
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: smacking into another cliff and falling to the ground. Because

183
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: that's what I thought of. I thought that that was

184
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: gonna be what would happen when you have these three

185
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: guys back there, because all camp long, everybody that they've asked,

186
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: whether it's the running backs coach, whether it was Jason Garrett,

187
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 1: even Jerry Jones, keep just not even hinting, just saying

188
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: this is going to be a committee situation. And I

189
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: thought that when it was just Randall and McFadden, these

190
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: guys are probably gonna, you know, both get somewhere around

191
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty to two hundred carries. Now you're

192
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: getting Kristen Michael in there. Who knows that he picks

193
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: up maybe seventy five carries somewhere along the way. He

194
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: is Rise and Fire still on the roster. I don't

195
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: want this is Rise and Fire still Johnson. As far

196
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: as I thought, I thought he got cut. I have

197
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: no core, I R or something I don't know. Also like, yeah,

198
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,599
Speaker 1: this is I've I picked christ and Mike up in

199
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: a couple like as a as a dark throw. But

200
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: because he was, he like, arguably out of this group,

201
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: is the most talented one. That's say, he's the most

202
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: athletic he's been. He's been the subject of so much

203
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: offseason hype. He was the second round pick the year

204
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: Joseph Rano was a fifth round pick, Like he was

205
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: the guy that for years. I think he think he's

206
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 1: been on the making the Leap list for around the

207
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: NFL colleagues, Like every year that list has been around.

208
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: Wasn't Cordell around there last year? Yeah? They had they

209
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: had some swings and mrs too uh at that as

210
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: they openly acknowledge. I feel like that was a universal swinging. Yeah.

211
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: By the way, Gus Johnson is on the Cowboys practice squar,

212
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: Rise and Fire. But so I wish I had that.

213
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: I'll get that drop back in. We don't have it.

214
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: We don't have the whole Gust Johnson soundboard plugged in

215
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: as we did that episode. How dare you like that

216
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: needs to be in all the time every podcast. We

217
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: just need Gus Johnson to be relevant in the NFL

218
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: and then we can have it all right, But yeah,

219
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: like this is just I don't know, it's I was

220
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: avoiding this backfield before and I'm still avoiding it. But

221
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: I took a couple of dart throws at Chris and Michael.

222
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: Why not? You know, I agree. I think he's uh,

223
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: he's I think he might have the most upside christ

224
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: and Michael. But I will say this man. You know

225
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: they signed him, and I don't know why. I feel

226
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: more confident now, um putting my chips behind Darren McFadden

227
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: because McFadden is that guy that's gonna push that bile.

228
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: He's the big burly there. There's something else in your

229
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: coffee this morning, James. It makes you feel more confident

230
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: about of all people. Yes, And let me explain why,

231
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: because I lay it on us. Because Michael and Joe

232
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: Randall seemingly fit a similar skill set, a similar role.

233
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: They seem to be a more change of pace type back. Uh,

234
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: a guy that's gonna be able to catch a lot

235
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 1: of footballs out of the backfield. Look, I get it

236
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: for week one. No, not the case, And I've been

237
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: preaching this all off season long. Darren McFadden. He he's

238
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 1: the long play man. He's the long play If you're

239
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: gonna take a Darren McFadden you're not looking for dividends

240
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: until at least week four or five. And and that's

241
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: the only that's the only thing I'm talking about. I'm

242
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 1: not saying he's gonna come out the gates Gangbusters. I'm

243
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: just saying he could be an interesting guy. Uh, you know,

244
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: a month into the season, That's all I'm trying to say, Michael.

245
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: And to me, Michael and Joe Randall seemed to play

246
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: a very similar style. Um and to me, that's kind

247
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: of why I think that they're young and athletic. How

248
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: about smallish guys that are not necessarily power michaounds he's

249
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: not smallish, but the way he is a big boy,

250
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: and that's why he was second round pick. But the

251
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: way he runs, it's not He's definitely not a power guy.

252
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's a big reason why he didn't

253
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: fit in Seattle. Might have been I think I think

254
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 1: he just struggled sometimes to pick up their their their

255
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: scheme and things like that. And when you're running behind

256
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: beast mode, it's not like you're gonna get too many

257
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: touches and too many touches here that Hey, you want

258
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 1: to know a funny headline here, headline this is from

259
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. This is a real headline, al right,

260
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: from last year. This is quote Percy Harvin, Christian Michael

261
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: Key to Seahawks. That's the Headloks. That's crazy. That is insane.

262
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: There's a lot of headlines like that will where you know,

263
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm out so much content. I don't know, I don't

264
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: want to go back and look at some of our

265
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: fantasy headlines from go back into the history of sports

266
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: and look at some old headlines that probably no, no,

267
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: but I mean the last but this is from last

268
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: year though, I'm talking about I mean talking about from

269
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: last year, all the way back at the time. I mean,

270
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what what what were the headlines about Jamacus

271
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: Russell can't miss prospects for the NFL. I'll think about

272
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: this though, remembers like this time last year, we were

273
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: all worried that, you know, Marshawn Lynch is gonna break down.

274
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: He had so many carries and it was it was

275
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: really a battle. You know, Robert Turbin had been there,

276
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: but everybody kept talking about Christen Michael. Yeah, this guy

277
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: from Texas A and m here, you really like him.

278
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: Seattle's gonna you know, and then they get they they

279
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: they had gotten Percy Harvin and and he had missed

280
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: most of the year because of the injury, but came

281
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: back and you had the big plays in the Super Bowl,

282
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: and it was like, all right, this is it, Percy Harvin,

283
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: Kristen Michael. The future is now in Seattle. I do

284
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: remember all. I think they looked at the forty Times

285
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: real fast. Clearly those people forgot that wide receivers go

286
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: to Seattle and statistically die. Oh boy, we speaking of Seattle. Yeah, speaking,

287
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: it's a great segue. Yes, absolutely, Fred Jackson has signed

288
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: with Seattle. I just wanted to get the reaction here, Um,

289
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson. You know, you talk about a guy who

290
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: runs with power, runs with purpose. H I love Fred

291
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: Jackson for that. He's obviously getting very old, uh for

292
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: a running the NFL running back. Does he have any

293
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: value as a as a potential handcuff to Marshawn Lynch

294
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, I mean a little bit, But I mean

295
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: Lynch is such a workhorse there and maybe this is

296
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: the year they start to back off some of his touches.

297
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: But you know, I wonder what it's this means for

298
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: Robert Turban. You know, he's still there. There was a

299
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 1: lot of talk in training camp about Thomas Rawls maybe

300
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: coming in and earning himself a few carries here and there.

301
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: So I think if there's still I mean, there's still

302
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: one running back in Seattle, as far as I'm gonna say,

303
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: that's Marshawn Lanch anybody else, maybe I pick him up

304
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: off the waiver wire, but I'm not. I don't know,

305
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: I'm hold off. Remember I mean Turbans. Turban is gonna

306
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: get waived. So he's not even gonna be in the

307
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: mix anymore because of that injury. Uh So you're looking

308
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: at the handcuff for running back as great as he is,

309
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: who's had more carries than any other running back in

310
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: the National Football League over the last four years. And

311
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: as much as I hope Lynch stays healthy because I

312
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: have him in our NFL Fantasy Live league and I

313
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: don't wish injuries on anyone, um, I think Fred Jackson

314
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: is probably one of the biggest handcuffs right now in fantasy.

315
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: There was all Davis and Fred Jackson certainly coming. He

316
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: is up there. Speaking of headlines, there was one on

317
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: the interwebs this morning where Pete Carroll had said, Fred

318
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: Jackson's going to play a lot in their first game.

319
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: Like I said, I can see it because Jackson is

320
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: a guy that runs with purpose and power, and he

321
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: he's smart and he's great out of the backfield, like

322
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: Lynch was never a great like pass catcher. He caught

323
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: like what like thirty some balls last year, Well we

324
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: caught forty five. Really it was crazy here. I don't

325
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: know about that. It was I thought he was in

326
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: the thirties. But still, like that was an insane number

327
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: for Lynch. But seven Jackson might be the guy that

328
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: comes in and fills that third down roll because he's

329
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: so smart and he's such a good player for them,

330
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: and that's a way for them to keep Lynch fresh.

331
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: So you know, they can give it to him on

332
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: the goal line. And so would you guys have handcuff

333
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson, Lashaw McCoy and Buffalo? Uh No, But it's

334
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: it's a different situation because in buff Well, first of all,

335
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: I just again, I I just absolutely hate uh any

336
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: grounded pound offense. Not not a big fan. Uh that's

337
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: what Seattle is. Why why wouldn't you have drafted Fred

338
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: Jackson as a handcuffed because McCoy's got a hamstring, he's

339
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: he would have been a obvious. Also, the thing is

340
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, they had Bryce Brown, they Bubby Dixon, they

341
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: have Carlos Williams. That was a murky or handcuff situation.

342
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 1: But for Seattle to scoop him up and then talk

343
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: about this, this, this one's a little This has a

344
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: little more clarity. In Buffalo would have rather gone with

345
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: the youth and upside and like Carlos Williams. But here

346
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: it makes more sense. It's weird that they bought brought

347
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: in a like thirty three year old. By the way,

348
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: it's funny ten years like this is the two thousand

349
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: five bills backfield, right, it's a blast in the past.

350
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: Ten years later, it's the same backfield. And if you

351
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: guys remember Lynch had that one really big year with

352
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo and then he fell out a favor in that

353
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: in that franchise where they didn't use him. Uh, and

354
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: then he goes to Seattle and becomes right exactly love

355
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: it all. Right, let's been here the whole time. That's

356
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: a great guy's I gotta get that. I love that

357
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: commercial that Xbox next gent Stats one marshawn sneaks into

358
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: the end. Bro, I've been here the whole time. It's good,

359
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: uh and their sponsors, so let's get him in the

360
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: show for them all right? In New England, Reggie Wayne

361
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: was a semi surprising cut. Brandon lafel On, I R

362
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 1: what Pat's wide receiver? Can you trust? Julian Edelman played

363
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 1: four teen games last year, had nineties, two catches, venty

364
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 1: two yards and four touchdowns. But he is a year

365
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: removed from a hundred and five catch campaign, a thousand yards,

366
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: six touchdowns. Pretty good, I ask you this, can you

367
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: replicate those numbers? Alex Kilhard Edelman? I mean, wait, was

368
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: this amond Ola? Sorry? I was good with Luca Julian

369
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: Edelman Julian and I think so. But he's also injured.

370
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: We gotta see when what he gets on the field

371
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: and what he's gonna do, like he's he hasn't He

372
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: didn't practiced in like three or four weeks now. So

373
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: I love Edliman. He's a fantastic player, but like it's

374
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: gotta be on the field to replicate those numbers if

375
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: he if he is healthy and make plays most of

376
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: the year, Yeah, I think I think he's gonna push

377
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: for a hundred catches again and you know, a thousand yards.

378
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: He's the new West Welker in that offense. But we

379
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: got we got to see him one the heck is

380
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: gonna be catching passes on Thursday night. If Edelman can't

381
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: play Lafell's Dobbs. This this is what is like the

382
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: healthiest wide receiver on the Patriots roster right now. I mean, yeah,

383
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: Marcus just mentioned Dobson. Gronkowskio get targeted about seven times

384
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: in that game, right I just I just saw two

385
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: in my inbox. There's an article at the Steelers like

386
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna jam Gronkowski, Like, okay, good luck with that.

387
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: Fun They're gonna jam him, that's your plan. But no

388
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: other defense has tried this before. I mean, but you're

389
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: not gonna jam grow I mean you could bracket him.

390
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: You're not gonna You want to know what's interesting though

391
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: about this game on Thursday night? And I love I

392
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: love Brady because I think he's going to be motivated,

393
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 1: and he has a really good track record motivated. It's

394
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: a nice way to put Yes, Uh, the starting running

395
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: back is either going to be Dion Lewis or Brandon Bolden.

396
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: Assuming Edelman is out there. Number one wide receiver will

397
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: be Danny Amendola. They'll have Aaron Dobson and Matthews, Chris

398
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: Harper or Matthew Slater playing the slot. Watch Matt That

399
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: is not good for Newing. Wasn't he rivals with Zack Morris?

400
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, no Morris? And um, I was bored

401
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: about Kelly Kowski. Can I ask you this? Let me

402
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: ask you this about Gronk. Look, I think we all

403
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 1: figured Gronk is just gonna get I mean heavy use,

404
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna get all of the targets. But is that

405
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,439
Speaker 1: a good thing? Because we gotta remember, you know, a

406
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: year ago, they were whispers that they were trying to

407
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: ease up on Gronk so that he could stay healthy,

408
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: uh the entire year. So they were, you know, purposely

409
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: not trying to feature him in the offense quite as much.

410
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 1: Now as the season developed, obviously they went to him more,

411
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 1: but because he was coming off of those gruesome injuries

412
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: to his arms, you know, they were trying to ease

413
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: him back in. Is this a good thing? I mean,

414
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: you gotta think at least early on it's gonna be great.

415
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: Is gonna be awesome. But I'm talking about for the season.

416
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: Is this a good thing for Gronk? Well, I think

417
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 1: I think what what we're overlooking what they can do.

418
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: We'll see if they actually do it. Is they do

419
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: have Scott Chandler on that roster, who can be another

420
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: pass cat and they can roll a couple, you know,

421
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 1: multiple tight ends. They can you know, I don't know

422
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: that cham there is that move tight end that they

423
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: had when old number eighty one was running around there

424
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: and who is that? I don't say his name out loud, um,

425
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: but I think you put Chandler on the field, they

426
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: can run two tight ends. They can have that other

427
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: pass catcher out there to maybe alleviate some of the

428
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: pressure off Gronk. Scott Channing Mr. September. I feel like

429
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: he's always good for like three or four touchdowns. He

430
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: will have a he will have a two touchdown games

431
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: sometime this season. Good luck figuring out when it come.

432
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: It's gonna be in September, but you know what, the

433
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: real September I want. I wanted to go live to

434
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: chron I don't think we need to worry Martellis Bennett

435
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,439
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns in his last twelve games. Indeed, he is

436
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: MR September decade alright, extremely surprising cut in Denver's money

437
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: Balls let Go, The former second round pick out of

438
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: Wisconsin reportedly has some interest from Atlanta that according to

439
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: the Denver Post. What do we make of the news there?

440
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: Dj Anderson Forever, That's what I make about that. And

441
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: if he goes to Atlanta, then that just takes a

442
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: bist situation and makes it even more. Yea, that's not

443
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: gonna help your boy, Tevin Coleman. I'm not worried. I'm

444
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: not scared, though. I will say this, and you guys know,

445
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: I love to look at the trends with the colleges.

446
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 1: If if Melvin Gordon struggles this year, that Wisconsin running back,

447
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: here we go. I'm just saying to jump on that.

448
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: I hope it doesn't happen because I have him in

449
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: one of my leagues. But um okay, we'll see plus

450
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: plus fabs you've been you've been hyping, uh well, because

451
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: of the opportunities that he's going to get in San Diego.

452
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: Reminds me a lot of what happened when Ladania Thomlinson

453
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: left and Ryan Matthews was drafted out of Fresno set

454
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: so and and the talent that we saw from him

455
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin was unmistakable. And you probably know better than

456
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: I do because I don't follow a lot of college football,

457
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: uh and I know that you do. But he looked amazing.

458
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,479
Speaker 1: I don't like how things have started off for him.

459
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: Let's just put it that a way I would hear.

460
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 1: I still have faith, but I don't things better. There's

461
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: no question right right to talk about that Atlanta backfield though,

462
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: whiz DeVante Freeman, Tevin Coleman. If if if Monty ball

463
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: goes there, how concerned are you? Uh? Very like? Uh,

464
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman is still They're they're taking it slow with

465
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: his hamstring. Tevin Coleman's better. We saw him a little

466
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: bit in the preseason and that last week he looked

467
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,439
Speaker 1: he looked pretty good. But um, he looked like Tevin Coleman.

468
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: He I mean it was he had a couple of

469
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: carries where he got like negative two yards or whatever,

470
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: and then he broke off another one for like fifteen

471
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: or sixteen yards. He had that nice twenty six yard run.

472
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: But like, man, this is a backfield I don't in

473
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: all my leagues, I don't have a ton of DeVonta

474
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 1: Freeman or Tevin Coleman. And I'm gonna feel a lot

475
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 1: better about that if they signed Monty Ball as well,

476
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: because it's just I don't know, I don't like any

477
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: of it. Like I said, man, I'm not scared. I'm

478
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: not scared Monty Ball gets gets signed. Over there, I'm

479
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: still going. I'm all in a technical I'm all in

480
00:23:52,600 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: fun with that. People have been asking me, you know

481
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: the Falcons running backs on Twitter, which do I like

482
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: Coleman or Freeman. Response to pretty much everybody has been

483
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: do not want. I don't want either of them. Like

484
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: there are a ton of other running backs out there

485
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: I'd rather take a chance on than trying to figure

486
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: out that. Alright, let's start. We're talking enough about running backs,

487
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about wide receiving. Alan Robinson reported with reportedly

488
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: with Julius Thomas out could be an increased red zone target.

489
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: According to NFL dot Com. Um your thoughts there, will?

490
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: I know Allan Robinson is you know again one of

491
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: those picks for Fantasy Hipster that they just love them

492
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: some Alan Robinson? But uh, with what are your takes

493
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: on that? I love it? I love Alan Robinson. I

494
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: liked him before and uh, him and Alan Hearns both

495
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: got their stock rows. With Julius Thomas being out, Alan

496
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: Hearness looked pretty good season two. Uh, he's just gotta

497
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: stay healthy Alan hern Hearns, Yeah, I mean both of

498
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: the Alan's. Yeah, they've both gotta stay healthy. But um

499
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 1: with with Thomas out there, they're gonna see a lot

500
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: of targets. And I think they're both also like affordable

501
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: in DFS games, so the good options there. I'm I'm

502
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: very excited about Allen Robinson and this makes total sense.

503
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: He's a big, physical guy. There were some like gifts

504
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: coming out of practices where he was making insane catches

505
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: like from the boundaries in in the red zone and stuff.

506
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,400
Speaker 1: So he and Bordles have a rapport and I think

507
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 1: he's it's a great He's a great start, and the

508
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: matchup in week ones pretty great. Carolina, Yes exactly, they're

509
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: there their cornerback and uh, safety depth has taken a hit.

510
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: Are they still starting Roman Harper at safety? O? Wa, wait,

511
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: you weren't joking about that. It's the real thing they did.

512
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 1: Speaking of headlines, don't four team headlines? Uh? No? Okay,

513
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: let's talk about St. Louis. Girl is gonna be out

514
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: for week one. Trey Mason is going to be a

515
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: quote unquote game time decision for a week one. Listen,

516
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: they're playing Seattle, go get Benny Cunningham. If and if

517
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: you're desperate, don't don't play well play. Let me ask

518
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: you a question. If you drafted Girly you don't have Mason,

519
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,920
Speaker 1: or you drafted Mason and you were expecting him to

520
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: be your flex star, isn't it worth picking up Cunningham?

521
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: Just I'd rather I would rather play Brandon Bolden than

522
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: play Benny Cunningham versus Seattle. You're gonna play Benny Cunningham

523
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: for Seattle. Seattle's defense on the road last year was

524
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: a lot less formidable than it is in Seattle. And

525
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: if Benny Cunningham is the lead guy and Mason's out

526
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: and girlies out, and I know he's gonna get fifteen

527
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: touches as opposed to Brandon Bolden, who might get three.

528
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,239
Speaker 1: Because Belichick does what Marcus, he hates our belts, he

529
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: can't stand our fantasy. I'd rather have a guy going

530
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: up against the tougher defense, or I know I'm going

531
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: to get some volume. Who knows what's gonna happen with

532
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden or Dion Lewis or any of the other

533
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: curtain jerkers likes to say, this feels like that backfield.

534
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: This feels like an Isaiah Pete game. All the mighty Isaiah.

535
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: He is still on the right, at least as of

536
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: this moment, as we're doing this podcast, he is still

537
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: on the rust. Sorry, Isaiah Peede. And so, like I said, man,

538
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: I'm I'm avoiding. Just just avoid some people. Some people can't.

539
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 1: That's the thing. I know, That's what I'm saying. So

540
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: picked up Brandon Bolden. If you're the Rams, are you are?

541
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: You kind of think it twice about that state Zac

542
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: Stacy trade. You could have used x stacy right about now.

543
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. That's pretty could have used x stacy

544
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,320
Speaker 1: right about now. I like that. All right, let's talk

545
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 1: about the Packers. James Jones signs with the Packers. What

546
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: does this mean for guys like Ty Montgomery, Jeff Janis,

547
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: maybe even a little Davante Adams. This is drop his

548
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: stock a bit. I don't think so, to be quite

549
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: honest with you, and I love Adams this weekend against

550
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: the Bears. In the last three games, this is a

551
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,679
Speaker 1: nutty stat. In the last three games that the Bears

552
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 1: have played the Packers, the Packers wide receivers have averaged

553
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: thirteen yards and scored twelve touchdowns. Watch the math. I

554
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: mean that was largely because Jordan. Nobody wanted to ever

555
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: cover Jordan and Heilson won the Bears packs. But the

556
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: Bears in the league, yeah, I mean they're terrible. The Packers.

557
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: Start all your Packers. I mean that's that's like goes

558
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 1: without saying they're a great offense, but like, start all

559
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: your Packers, Rogers. It's gonna be a state up blood

560
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 1: bath there against Chicago. So but no, But let's talk

561
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: about James Jones a bit. Adam Ranks seems to to

562
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: believe that James Jones does have some value. He could

563
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 1: be good. Uh this is a quote out of his

564
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: mouth that Adam Rank says, James Jones could be good

565
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: for five or six touchdowns. Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah. Ye

566
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: try picking which games he scores those touchdowns and well no,

567
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: but that's what I'm trying to say, though, you know,

568
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: five or six touchdowns for James Jones, does that pretty

569
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 1: much kill value for a guy like Ty Montgomery Janice. Yeah,

570
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: it hurts them a lot because I think I don't

571
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: think they signed Jones without wanting him to come in

572
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: and step into that third wide receiver role. He has

573
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: a rapport with Rogers. They played together for years. Rogers

574
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: can trust him more than and that seemed to be

575
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: the issue, especially with Janice, was that Rogers they didn't

576
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: have that trust yet, and he knew that Janie wasn't

577
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: like as in sync with the offense and stuff. James

578
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 1: Jones is gonna know that offense. He's going to come

579
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: back in Rogers like he's going to be able to

580
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: do the back shoulder throws that Rogers loves that. The

581
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: other guy, the young kids aren't going to so Joe,

582
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: especially in deeper leaks, Jones could have value as like

583
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 1: a wider. Know. It's funny too, is that Jones was

584
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: on our show a few years back when he had

585
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: the fourteen touchdowns and he kind of, you know, busted

586
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 1: our stones a little bit and said, you guys never

587
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: talked about me on the show, but he scored a

588
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: lot of touchdows. We're talking about you now now we're

589
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: talking about him at least on the podcast, and um,

590
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: who knows what happens during the regular season, But I

591
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: would say Jones is still not a draftable asset unless

592
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: you're in a twelve team league or more. All right,

593
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: So there you go. All right, So we did about

594
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: fourteen headlines, a lot of headlines. Let's do a full

595
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: TNF kickoff preview show. We Steelers versus Patriots? Who to start?

596
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: Who to avoid? How about some daily fantasy tips? I

597
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: like this as well. Patriots back We'll start in the

598
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: Patriots backfield. No no, No, Lagart Blunt he suspended. No

599
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: Jonas Gray, he's cut, Brandon Bolden, James White, Tavars Cadet

600
00:29:56,240 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: or Trevors Cadet, Dion Lewis. I liked Lewis this week.

601
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: If you I picked him up in a bunch of

602
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: deeper leagues, I think I have him in our dynasy

603
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: league and stuff, especially if it's a PPR format. He

604
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: seems to be the guy that could inherit that Shane

605
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: Vereen role. He caught a couple of touchdowns in the preseason.

606
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: He's looked good. Uh So, why why anybody got a dartboard? Yeah, yeah,

607
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: it's it's it's not good. The Patriots backfield, as Marcus said,

608
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: can you believe it? We're colamorates for Garrett Bloods come back?

609
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: Is what's going on there. Here's the thing. The Steelers

610
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: defense is uh suspect you say, the least so. And

611
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: it's a big reason why. You know, the backfield and

612
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. It's like if you're playing daily fantasy,

613
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: especially for that Thursday night daily fantasy league, I mean,

614
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: there's gotta be points here somewhere, right, Yeah, it's just

615
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: the question of finding where they are. Like I know,

616
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 1: everybody's like kind of fired up about Dion Lewis right

617
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,239
Speaker 1: now and thinking about him and hearing about him. The

618
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: only name that comes to mind Zach Sudfeld. Oh yeah,

619
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, Zack felt Ronc was hurt.

620
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: You weren't sure he's gonna start the season, and they

621
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: didn't know what they're gonna do it tight end, And

622
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: everybody's like, who's that Sudfeld? He could be the guy,

623
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: and like Belichick is talking him up in practice about

624
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: how they like how he's progressed and everybody who's that Sudfel?

625
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: And we were like, hey, is that Sudfeld? A sleeper

626
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: in Week one, that guy got exactly zero catches for

627
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: zero yards. That was the end of the legend of

628
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: Zack sudd Um. The team did trade for Trevaris Cadet

629
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: from New Orleans. He did some good things there. He's

630
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: one of those past catching backs, but he's the guy

631
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: that no one's talked about. James White seems that has

632
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: had a better training camp in preseason than he did.

633
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: He was sort of the pass catching option in that offense.

634
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: I think this running back situation is just one to avoid.

635
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean, unless Bill Belichick comes out and says I'm

636
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: starting Dion Lewis and he's gonna see Belichick is never

637
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: gonna say. He's never gonna say that. So you're rolling

638
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: the dice. And honestly, luck has is at least a

639
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: small part and sometimes a big part to do and

640
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: sure winning and losing in fantasy sports, you would be

641
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: key to pick the right guy I think at backfield,

642
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: and the right guy might just get a goal line. Look,

643
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: score seven points, right. I think here's the thing. I

644
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: agree with you. All of these guys we just named

645
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: Bold and White, Cadet, Lewis, I don't know, uh, maybe

646
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: if you if they're a deep league. You said it

647
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: was a dynasty league stash, all right, so what dynasty leagues?

648
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: I mean a deep league stash. I get it, But

649
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm just talking about I think in regular leagues. Yeah,

650
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: none of these guys don't. Don't race that exactly. But

651
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: but but I'm saying a daily fantasy, though, a lot

652
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: of folks are gonna play this Thursday, Lewis is probably

653
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: gonna be you know, he's gonna be a tremendous value

654
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: for you because I think Dean Lewis or Trevars Cadet,

655
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 1: you can load up on stars elsewhere, but exactually, in

656
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: like draft Kings, which gets a full point for PPR exactly,

657
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: Dean Lewis goes out and gets five catches. That's you know,

658
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: it's a that's a solid value. And so that and

659
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: I guess that's what we're trying to decipher. This is

660
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: really for Dailey fantasy only. I think on Thursday, you know,

661
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: Trevars Cadet, Dion Lewis, they they do have some value

662
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: at least truesting upside potential because they do catch a

663
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: lot of balls out of the potential decent value for

664
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers in DFS is gonna be Marcus Sweeten because

665
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a high scoring game

666
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, I mean through for four hundred yards four touchdowns,

667
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 1: and his last start against the Patriots, he's averaged over

668
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: three yards passing with nine touchdowns in his last three

669
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: games against them, sixteen touchdown passes in seven career games

670
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: against New England. It's got to go to somebody. And

671
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: I know Antonio Brown is gonna be in the mix

672
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: without question, but Marcus Sweeten could end up being a

673
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: guy who is a sneaky three flex starter slash DFS

674
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: option because uh, he's gonna be a value. And we

675
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: know Mark Tavis Bryant is gonna be out for well

676
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: and you when you talk about running backs in this game,

677
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the reason you wouldn't handcuff the

678
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: Angelo Williams to Levy on Bell. You knew he was

679
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna be gone for two games. You knew that he

680
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna play in Week one. This is why you

681
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: went out and you got the end or hopefully you

682
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: went out and got Jelo Williams at some point in

683
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: your draft. Take advantage of these two games, especially against

684
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: this Patriots defense, which it just it looks like a

685
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: shadow of the group we saw last year. Right, And and

686
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,560
Speaker 1: and that's the thing about the Patriots d Right, like

687
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: everyone's like, oh, Bill Belichick, defensive minded coach, He's gonna

688
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: get these guys. Look, when they didn't have stars in

689
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: in the defensive backfield, they struggled. They've got no more revas.

690
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: That's a big time loss for them, a big time

691
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: loss for that defense. I agree with you. I think

692
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a hugely scoring game. We say this,

693
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be eight to eleven. Because there's also

694
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: an interesting trend to of like every other year on

695
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football the opener, there's been uh scoreboard explosion basically,

696
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: and and this is obviously an odd year or so,

697
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: uh just another yeah, well it's two years ago and

698
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: Peyton through his seven touchdowns against the Ravens or something like, yeah, yeah, exactly.

699
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: I like it. Yeah. I like that Marcus Wheaton play though,

700
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 1: especially in daily fantasy. Absolutely, and like we mentioned him earlier,

701
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 1: Amndola too, probably absolutely great value. And with if Edelman

702
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 1: doesn't play Draft Kings, you gotta play three guys, right

703
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: wider slider stiff. Yeah, so there you go. I like it,

704
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: all right, good stuff. What's the quarterback you want to

705
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: have in daily fantasy? Roethlisberger, Brady, all of them, the

706
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: terrible second. Yeah, I listen again, we think Brady is

707
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: going to be motivated, but uh, he has got a

708
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 1: history of of just absolutely decimating the Steelers. Uh. He

709
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 1: had four thirty two and four touchdowns, and his last

710
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: start against Pittsburgh that was back in He's averaged three

711
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: thirteen touchdowns and no picks in his last four games

712
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: against him. Uh. He's averaged thirty one yards eighteen touchdowns

713
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 1: in seven career games against them. Listen, I like both players.

714
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: I'm taking the guy that's playing on his home field. Yeah,

715
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: for sure, that that is the one. They're They're both

716
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: great plays if you have either of them in regular

717
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: season or daily. But Brady is the man. Am I

718
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 1: the only one going been in this? I think? So?

719
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 1: I kind of like Brady is a lot or just

720
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: an absolute mess defensively. Yeah, well you just talked about

721
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: how bad the Patriots there, you know, and he's got there.

722
00:35:57,800 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: He used my own facts and he's got to have

723
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: super Bowl here, Malcolm Butler, you can only cover one

724
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: person at a time. I mean, they've got Antonio Brown,

725
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: they still have Martavis or Marcus Wheaton there. I mean

726
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: Heith Miller. Yeah, I know he's no Grong, but he's

727
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: still a respirable, biable tide end there, they can throw

728
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,760
Speaker 1: it to the age of the Williams out of the backfield.

729
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: I mean, in terms of where his pass catchers are

730
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: right now, they are ahead of where the Patriots are.

731
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: And I think, and I think too, isn't it It It

732
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't if you went with Big Ben. It's one of

733
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: those situations where I feel like he's gonna score a

734
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: lot of points of the fourth quarter. Am I wrong?

735
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 1: It's saying that, you know, I feel like the way

736
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: the game's gonna play out, Tom Brady and the Patriots,

737
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: they might even build up a nice, big, comfortable lead

738
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: and then the Steelers are gonna have to come from behind.

739
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 1: I think in my mind, you know that they've lost

740
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: Marquis Bouncy on that offensive line, the defense is still

741
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: a mess. They've got no um they're starting running back

742
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 1: is gone Levan bell Man. It seems like it would

743
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: be a nice, comfortable win for the Patriots. But again

744
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,439
Speaker 1: in daily fancy. I gotta think Ben Roethlisberger is gonna

745
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:03,640
Speaker 1: make some noise in the hashtag garbage points still count,

746
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: Yes they do. I do like it. All right, how

747
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: about the mail bag. Let's do the mail bail. You

748
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: get a mail baby t J Wells, oh one, jet

749
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 1: Wells asks crow Well or Ryan Matthews this week as

750
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 1: an RB two. Also he has as an RB two.

751
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: That's gotta be a deep league. Wow. Well, he also

752
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,399
Speaker 1: has Doug Martin and Melvin Gordon. I'm going with those two.

753
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: I don't even like Gordon's matchup. I think it was

754
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: his questions where Coral or Matthews? And then and I'm

755
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: guessing a separate league Martin or Gordon? All right, well

756
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,359
Speaker 1: we'll go there. Uh So, first let's go crow Well

757
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: or Matthews. I mean he's he is the number one

758
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 1: guy there. I mean he's gonna get the bulk of

759
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: the carry's there. Matthews is gonna split best case scenarios.

760
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: That's it's crow I hate the matchup. The Jets defense

761
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: is nasty, but or it looks nasty on paper. It

762
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 1: might be nasty and week four, but right now I

763
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 1: don't know they're missing Sheldon Richardson right now. So that's

764
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: not gonna help up front, but yeah, it's gotta it's

765
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: gotta be crow Well this week. Alright. So the second question,

766
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 1: Doug Martin or Melvin Gordon. Tennessee's defense was so bad

767
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: against the run last year and the Chargers have a

768
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: really tough matchup this week against Detroit. I know and

769
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 1: Dominican sus not on that line anymore, but I'm going

770
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: I'm going Doug Marton. Believe it or not, I'd go

771
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: Doug as well because also, like Melvin Gordon, we haven't

772
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: seen a ton of a preason, but he, like Fab said,

773
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: it's the matchup, and Melvin Gordon's like for sure in

774
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: a committee as well. He's gonna come out on third

775
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:26,359
Speaker 1: downs for Danny Woodhead and another situations. So I'm gonna

776
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: go with the guy that's looked great and has the

777
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 1: easiest path path to a ton of touches, and that's

778
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,840
Speaker 1: Martin this week. Marcus Grant, I've been I've been driving

779
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: the Doug Martin hype train for a while and now

780
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 1: I'm definitely all about it. And I just I think

781
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 1: that you know, what we saw that's right, and what

782
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: we saw from Melvin Gordon in the preseason wasn't particularly exciting,

783
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: so you know about it all right, Jeff Sandos asked, oh,

784
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 1: actually hit that sounder foret that sign? Went's out of

785
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: your pie hole and listen up, maggot, it's time for miracle.

786
00:38:56,560 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: What an apro post sound for? Jeff sam does? That's good?

787
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: I like it. That worked out well. I didn't even realize.

788
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: I just cleared. I thought you did that on purpose.

789
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: I gave you too much credit. Yeah, okay, but no,

790
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: I did do that purpose all part of the plan.

791
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: Sand does, Which of the following is the best flex

792
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: for Week one? Marcus Wheat and Steve Smith, Jarvis Landry

793
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: or Amir Abdullah who I'd like to know the scoring

794
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: system and that uh, I think we're pairing this down

795
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: to Jarvis Landry or Abdulla? Is the Redskins defense against

796
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers last year was bad at I mean, we

797
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 1: only can really utilize what we had last year. It's

798
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: not like the Redskins made a million changes to their

799
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: their defensive backfield. Um. I mean I like I like

800
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: Abdulla road game against the Chargers. Chargers defense better at

801
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 1: home than they are on the road. I'm going I'm

802
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: gonna go Landy here, though. I I really like the

803
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: connection that he's got going with Tannehill and the Redskins defense.

804
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: Again last year against wide receivers was no bueno. I've

805
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: been big on on the Dolphins offense in general this offseason.

806
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: I like Landry. I think I feel like he's being

807
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: slept on and so many's not not not in this room,

808
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: I mean everybody around here. We're all about, you know,

809
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 1: outside of this room, I feel like he's being slept on.

810
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: And the NFC East. If there's one thing that all

811
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,000
Speaker 1: those teams have in common, asciding fact that they all

812
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 1: hate each other, um, they all have really poor secondaries. Uh,

813
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,840
Speaker 1: and so I think anytime you have a quarterback and

814
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: or a receiver going up against an NFC East team,

815
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: I think you take that matchup. Yeah, I'm I guess

816
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: we're unanimous. I was gonna say Landry too. I love

817
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 1: Abdullah and his talent, the but the fact that Landry

818
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: is Tannehill's guy and they're going against a secondary that

819
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: needs a lot of help, I think he's He's for

820
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,720
Speaker 1: sure the one you want to start out that. Whenever

821
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: I answer these questions on Twitter. I always do I

822
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: always do this. I would say Jarvis Landry is your

823
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 1: safer play. I think he's gonna get the guaranteed looks

824
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the guaranteed yardage. He might even get

825
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: into the end zone probably actually probably will he should

826
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: against Washington. Um, I think a mir Abdullah is your

827
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 1: upside play. Though I think Landry's your safe play. I

828
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: think you mir Abdulah is your upside play. A Merabdula

829
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 1: could just, I mean break off an a d R

830
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:10,440
Speaker 1: touchdown run and we would be not terribly surprised. I

831
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: don't think he could also only get ten carries, right,

832
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: he could also get ten carries for fifty yards and

833
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: just be done. Um. So I think I think a

834
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,280
Speaker 1: Mira Abdula is definitely a riskier play, higher upside. Jarvis

835
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: Landry safer. You probably go with him in week one.

836
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 1: But you know what, if you like living dicey, go

837
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 1: with a Merabdulah. I like it all right. Next one

838
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 1: we mentioned years at and JAD seven three one. Nicholas

839
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: Davidson asked Larry fitz or Ant Kwan Bolden in week one,

840
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: who should I start. It's the Battle of Ancient wide receivers.

841
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have a really their wide receivers have a

842
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: really good matchup this week. Uh that that could be

843
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: a high scoring game against New Orleans. I just really

844
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: like John Brown more than I like Fitzgerald, and Bolden

845
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: has been a better fantasy player, let's be honest, for

846
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. Uh So I would go

847
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: Bolden there. It's it's close, It's it's two guys former

848
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: teammates who were both amazing fantasy players during their prime.

849
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: But I've got to go Bolden there because I just

850
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: like John Brown. If Michael Floyd can't play this week,

851
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: then maybe I I switch over to Fitzgerald. But other

852
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 1: than that, I don't think he's gonna I don't know,

853
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,759
Speaker 1: Like we don't we don't know. But like he was

854
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: only just catching passes, not even from a quarterback on

855
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: the sidelines. So I think even if he does play,

856
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: I still think Fitzgerald has a larger role at least

857
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: for the first couple of weeks until he gets back

858
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: till Floyd gets back into playing shapes, I would lean

859
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: toward Fitzgerald. Admittedly, I may just be you know, down

860
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: on the forty in general, that might have something to

861
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: do with it. But I think I would lean the

862
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: slight edge. But what's your favorite team? Uh, you'd be

863
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 1: the San Francisco as Alex lhar said the victims of

864
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: a football rapture that, yeah, that's true. Um, I'm with Marcus.

865
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 1: I'm going Fitzgerald and this one because he also last

866
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:02,240
Speaker 1: to hear when Carson Palmer was the starter. And actually,

867
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: what's crazy is Fitzgerald's younger than Bolden by the way,

868
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 1: by two years. He's thirty two bold and thirty four.

869
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: But when Carson Palmer was in the line up last year,

870
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald still saw the most targets on that offense. So

871
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: he's he's not that old. I mean, because his team

872
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: has struggled and he hasn't put up his like four

873
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: yards he did for like seven years in a row

874
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: or whatever that have seen run he went on. But

875
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:24,399
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald's going to get a lot of looks. He's still

876
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: a phenomenal talent and uh, like you said, Fabs, he's

877
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 1: got a great matchup. So I think I go Fitzgerald

878
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 1: on this one. I think I might lean towards That

879
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: was a confident play. If I've ever heard one man

880
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:40,880
Speaker 1: that's rough. That's rough. And you know, and I've been

881
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 1: saying this, man. You know, when you do these drafts,

882
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: I've been just avoiding aging players because I don't want

883
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: him have to make these calls in the same boat. Basically,

884
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:51,919
Speaker 1: I just payer no, no, I know, I'm just saying

885
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: I avoid these situations. I really later in draft hundred

886
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: percent draft on upside that I would say I trust

887
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald's quarterback more than I trust Bolden's quarterback. Right now, alright, well,

888
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: like I said, if Floyd is out, things change for me.

889
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: All right, we don't know his status just yet. Next

890
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: question you've got, Mike asked should I start Funcius Hearns,

891
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: Janice or Davonte Parker? Week one, I got a question Parker.

892
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: How healthy is he? He played in the play a

893
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: little bit in the last YE game, so he's he is,

894
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: like back, I guess, but we don't know what that's

895
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: going to mean for the regular season yet. I thought

896
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: they were trying to take it slow with him, considering

897
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: all the foot ailments he's had. I think they are,

898
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 1: and they are so I mean, I would I wouldn't

899
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: start him, um, I mean of that group, Funcius is

900
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,440
Speaker 1: probably the one just because he seems to be the

901
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: one by default. He's not starting though they announced that

902
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: it's I think I heard he's going back to Philly,

903
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: thankfully so because Corey kept dropping the ball like he's

904
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 1: really I think makes more catch up. I'm going Hearns

905
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,879
Speaker 1: of this group because, especially with Julius Thomas out, Mark

906
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: Easley has hasn't been that great and has barely practiced

907
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: with them in the Jacksonville offense, which should be better

908
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: than people think. Bortles looked great in the preseason and

909
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,880
Speaker 1: not just like oh he's playing vanilla preseason defenses. He

910
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,959
Speaker 1: was thrown with velocity and accuracy, emplacement, UH and Herns

911
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: caught a couple I think a couple of touchdowns for

912
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: him in the preseason. I would rather go with Hearns Uh.

913
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: I think he has the easiest path path to success

914
00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: and targets from from that group. I feel like we

915
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: need a Douvall sounder. I've been I've been thinking how

916
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,000
Speaker 1: I can't get get new drops in here. I will

917
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,960
Speaker 1: get a Duvall a time we talk about a Jaguar.

918
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 1: We just need there. So is Funchius, Hearns and who else?

919
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: Janice and DeVante Parker dud Dear God, I mean, I

920
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: guess I'd go funch just but again, get the dark

921
00:45:50,080 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: board out. We saw Hearns explode in Week one last year.

922
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: Remember that two touchdowns? Two touchdowns I think on like

923
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 1: three catches too. Yeah he had two deep ones to think.

924
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he had the Kevin Ogletree Game of the Year. Um,

925
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 1: he but that's his m O. I even going back

926
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: to his days at the U Miami, Um, he was

927
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: kind of a deep vertical guy and didn't get a

928
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,279
Speaker 1: whole lot of work. He also really struggled to stay

929
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,319
Speaker 1: healthy when he was in college as well. Um, if

930
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: he stays healthy, he's an explosive athlete and a pretty

931
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: darn good wide receiver. So I could see where you're going,

932
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: you know. Even even though the Funcius was not named

933
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: a starter, and even though I've bagged on him quite

934
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: a bit on this podcast last last Friday, last time, UM,

935
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:40,440
Speaker 1: I gotta think he's gonna see the field quite a bit.

936
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 1: Uh In Carolina, Corey Brown and and Ted Gin don't

937
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 1: necessarily do it for me there. I gotta think Funcis

938
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: is gonna get a couple of red zone looks if

939
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: they can get down if they could get down there.

940
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 1: But uh, um man, you know what you convinced me,

941
00:46:55,440 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: Gail har I'm gonna say herne it's a daily tap time.

942
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 1: I think we should dap it and then get on

943
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 1: with our lives, all right, daily deap dest because I'll

944
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: be daily depth time. It's so beautiful too, because we're

945
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,320
Speaker 1: gonna do this twice a week now, getting closer to daily.

946
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: Still not daylight, but daily. But it's better, better than

00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,040
Speaker 1: once a week. By the way, weekly DAPs just doesn't

948
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:30,879

949
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,879

00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: go to the bathroom more than he does. He's on

1029
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: the Attitude era where it was kind of sort of

1030
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,279

1031
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: T grocery store fight, and it will lead you into

1032
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: a rabbit hole of various Stone Cold videos and various

1033
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,680
Speaker 1: book or T videos. Let the listeners get out without

1034

Speaker 1: fabs daily DAPs to oh daily DAPs to my kid

1038
00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: baby co We actually took her into the ocean for

1039
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 1: the very first time. You're probably never gonna take her

1040
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: back every No, she loved it, She absolutely loved it.

1041
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: She was going bananas in the water. She was going

1042
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 1: crazy in there. The only thing is we're bad parents.

1043
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:14,919
Speaker 1: We were totally unprepared um and she was running around

1044
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 1: in the sand, getting all over all over her face

1045
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,319
Speaker 1: and hair and she didn't like that, but kept doing

1046
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: it for some reason. I don't know why. And here's

1047
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: the thing, she got sand all in the Nether Regions.

1048
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: As a dad, I'm not really used to this whole

1049
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: having a girl thing and the Nether regions thing, and

1050
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: it's really awkward and uncomfortable. Anyways, we we we had

1051
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: to strip her down naked and just and hose her

1052
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 1: off at the beach with UH. And that's the thing.

1053
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: It's like, you're at the beach, I feel bad for

1054
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: my kid. I'm like, you're completely butt naked and we're

1055
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: hosing you down on one of these cold UH beach showers.
