Speaker 3: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly.

7
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: I am Paul Chargian, joining me like last week, Kent,

8
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: Why Rock?

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 4: Hey Ken, Hey Paul, how are we doing? Glad to

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 4: be back. A shorter off season for me this time,

11
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 4: just one week as opposed to one year. But I'm

12
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 4: glad to be back.

13
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: And how about you going to bat for Derek Carr

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: in the podcast? And about the time I'm posting the podcast,

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: he decides to hang it up.

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that's so tricky. And now, looking at

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: that situation that the Saints have left behind in terms

18
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 4: of the quarterback groom, that's truly missed a fine. I

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 4: guess they're going to lean into Tyler Shuck and see

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 4: what happens.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: Seems that way, he doesn't it because they got long

22
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: looks at Hainer and Rattler last year and I just

23
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: don't think they got it now. Granted that was behind

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: a bad offensive line. That would have been tough on anybody,

25
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: including Derek Carr as it turned out. But still you

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: get the feeling by the way Derek Carr just did

27
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: not want to play football for the Saints anymore.

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had been through a little bit of the

29
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 4: ringer in terms of how he's been treated by you know,

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 4: the different managements over the years and things like that,

31
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 4: and how he gets respected from a media standpoint too.

32
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 4: I think he's been dealt with in a lot of

33
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 4: different ways where people are you know, he had his

34
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 4: high year and then after that it kind of never

35
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: really got back to that ceiling, and I think a

36
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 4: lot of people held it against him, But I don't

37
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 4: think that was deserved. I think he was a solid player.

38
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: He had a really good career and it's unfortunate that,

39
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 4: you know, the medical stuff is making him hanging up

40
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 4: a little early.

41
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 3: How much money would you guess he's made?

42
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: Ooh, I probably should know that off tom My head.

43
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 4: But I'm sure it's plenty. Yeah, it is plenty.

44
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: But I I'm challenging you to take a stab at

45
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: how much money Derek Carr has made in his career.

46
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 4: Let's see back of the Napkin math he was in

47
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: the league for about ten years. Let's say he made

48
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 4: it to two hundred and twenty million.

49
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're very very close. Two million. Yeah, well done.

50
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: Well and you know he would have probably I think

51
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: he played everything out. He'd gone a little over the

52
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: two twenties. So yeah, nicely done, ken, nicely done. Not

53
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: a bad not a bad earning for a guy who Boy,

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: how many playoff wins for Derek Carr? That'll be that'll

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: be your next question, and I'm gonna look it up

56
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: while you're looking. Derek Carr playoff wins?

57
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness, I my brain jumps to a very

58
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 4: low number. Maybe zero. Is it more than zero?

59
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 3: Well, let's see playoffs.

60
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: He had done don don one playoff start and it

61
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: was a loss. Okay, zero was the correct answer. He

62
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: lost to the Bengals in twenty twenty two.

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 3: That's it. So that is it. Yeah, a two.

64
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Hundred million dollars and zero playoff wins for Derek Carr.

65
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 4: There's more than one way to earn a living, and

66
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: he found a very lucrative one.

67
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: So yes, he did, Yes, he did. Lucrative.

68
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: Today, the amount of knowledge, the depth and value of knowledge,

69
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: You're gonna get as we go through the AFC and

70
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: NFC East, highlighting the off season changes for each team

71
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: and whether or not we think these changes will be

72
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: a net upgrade or down grade for each team. And

73
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: so we're gonna we'll look at free agency, We'll look

74
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: at trades, we will look at the draft, rolled together

75
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: all the new.

76
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: Things that have happened.

77
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: Now that lineups are effectively set heading into training camp

78
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: which arts and now only a little over a month

79
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: or we're really getting close, now, Kent, let's begin the

80
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: AFC side. I don't know why we always work right

81
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: to left, east to west. Is because the sun rises

82
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: in the east. You know, everybody always starts with the

83
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: AFC East or the NFC East, and they sort of

84
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: worked their way across the country like time zones. But

85
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 1: we read left to right. You can make a case

86
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: that we should be starting with the west, but nobody

87
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: ever does. We always start with the east, and I'm

88
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: not I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason

89
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: for that, but that's how it's gonna work here too.

90
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: And let's begin with the Miami Dolphins. Kent, this I

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: have a lot of skepticism about and where was this

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: last year. I have a lot of skepticism about this offense,

93
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: but maybe things were so bad last year you.

94
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 3: Feel like, in totality it's going to be better this year.

95
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, they pretty much for the talent that

96
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 4: they had on the roster bottomed out. I would say, uh,

97
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 4: you know, the head we talked about this last week,

98
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 4: struggling offensive line. Now they've had Tarren Armstead retire. They

99
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 4: signed James Daniels as a replacement, which I think is

100
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: good but not going to fill the gap entirely, and

101
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,559
Speaker 4: they haven't done much else other than draft a second

102
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 4: rounder guard to help accommodate for that. I don't see

103
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 4: that being in net plus in terms of last year

104
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 4: to this year. So I would wager that their offensive

105
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: line ends up in a worse overall situation. And you know,

106
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 4: that's kind of the starting point. When you're looking at

107
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 4: both passing and rushing. It's all comes down to how

108
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 4: your offensive line can either buy your quarterback time or

109
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: you know, help the running back open them holes, get

110
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 4: more yards before contact, stuff like that. So the name

111
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 4: of the game in terms of what happened to the

112
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 4: Dolphins last year and how they could improve this year

113
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 4: based on the personnel they have a lot of the

114
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 4: offensive personnel that's coming back is very similar. You still

115
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 4: have Tu at the helm, you have Tyreek Kill Jalen

116
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 4: Waddle as your main two pass catchers, You have John

117
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 4: hu Smith as your tight end, and then your lead

118
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 4: running back is going to be Devani. So that structure

119
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: is coming back, and besides the slight changing offensive line,

120
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 4: over all, the offense looks very similar. Some tertiary options

121
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 4: that have been added. They've improved their backup quarterback situation,

122
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: which I would say kind of matters considering Sua had

123
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 4: his own fair share of you know, more concussions last year.

124
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: I think it was.

125
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: Okay, But did they improve their backup quarterback situation now

126
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson and Quinn Yours.

127
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:31,239
Speaker 4: That's fair. I think that Zach Wilson is a good backup.

128
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: I don't think he was a good starter. I think

129
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 4: he's a good backup, but better than you know. They

130
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,799
Speaker 4: had Tyler Huntley, Skyler Thompson, Tim Boyle all made starts

131
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: last year or had playtime, so it truly was a

132
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: train wreck in terms of their backup quarterback situation. I

133
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 4: think it's an improvement. Quin Yours you know, drafted in

134
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 4: the seventh round, doesn't have a lot of capital behind him.

135
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: They didn't invest a lot. But in terms of a

136
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 4: third person, I think it's a good kind of upside play.

137
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 4: Maybe there's something they can turn them into, but it'd

138
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: be a really long shot situation. But you know, like

139
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 4: I said, I think having Zach Wilson there is better

140
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 4: for the overall sake of the offense. But both Tyreek

141
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 4: Kill and Jalen Waddle had their fair share of struggles

142
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 4: and injuries last year. You know, Tyreek Hill's a year older.

143
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 4: But in terms of some backup wide receiver options on

144
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 4: this team, they signed Nick Westbrook of Kinney UH and

145
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: Dwaynette Eskridge, which again I think our role players at best. Yeah,

146
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 4: nothing really that's going to move the needle in terms

147
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 4: of the overall offense, but might be a slight bit

148
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 4: of help at best. You know, it's unfortunate last year

149
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 4: Jalen Waddle, he truly disappeared. And the silver lining I

150
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: would say is that he was actually fine when Tua

151
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: was healthy and when turned Armstead was healthy and the

152
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 4: entire offense was on the field, then then things were

153
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 4: starting to shape up. But you know, in terms of

154
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: any kind of personnel changes that are going to open

155
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 4: things up for him, I really don't see a lot

156
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 4: going on there.

157
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this, if you believe, you know,

158
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: we saw real signs of decline from Tyreek Hill last year,

159
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean eye test metrically, and he's thirty one years old.

160
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: Is there a scenario.

161
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: Where you could justify suggesting it's a torch passing year

162
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: from Tyreek Hills the number one wide receiver to Jalen

163
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: Waddle this season.

164
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: Sure.

165
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And that's even if they're both on a team.

166
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: And I also think it's a very high likelihood or

167
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 4: relatively high likelihood, that he's still a trade candidate. I mean,

168
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 4: there's all this discussion this offseason, maybe leading up to

169
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 4: the draft they were looking to move him for some capital.

170
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 4: It never came to fruition, but you know that that

171
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 4: tension is still in the air. And I think that

172
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: if the Dolphins are interested in kind of opening up

173
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 4: their options post Tyreek Hill, this is where they need

174
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 4: to look. And he still has some value. You know,

175
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: he could be a great receiver for another team. He

176
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 4: could be a great receiver for this team. I mean

177
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: he could instantly turn it back on as well. But

178
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 4: Jalen Waddle has the potential to step up and be

179
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 4: the number one in this offense. I don't think he's

180
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: like a quintessential true wide receiver one, But agreed, I

181
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 4: think that these two intan and worked very well. And

182
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 4: if you're moving Tyreek Hill, you know, there's always potential

183
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 4: to get another player coming back to that, you know,

184
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: if you want to balance things out. But the way

185
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 4: the current state of the receivers are after Jalen Waddle,

186
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 4: I would not recommend unless the season is truly lost,

187
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 4: somewhere around week seven, eight nine range, you know, before

188
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 4: the trade deadline, obviously, to move Tyreek Hill and then

189
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 4: have Waddle finish out the years to one.

190
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: At the running back position, Devine eh Chan was the

191
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: do everything guy last year. Caught a ton of passes.

192
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: I think he ran gallantly behind a bad offensive line,

193
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: and he stayed healthy, which you know, going into the

194
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: season that was all the talk about e Chan was

195
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: Kenny possibly played play seventeen games, and he did. Then

196
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: it goes to Jalen Wright, and then it goes to

197
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: two guys who I don't even know they're going to

198
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: make the team Ollie Gordon, who I dislike as a rookie,

199
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: and then Alexander Madison, who I love is human being,

200
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: but do not think that he's a requisitive of an

201
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: NFL runner anymore. So, if if you want to if

202
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: unless they're going to have to run a cham just

203
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: as much this year, which I don't think they want

204
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: to do. They had to do it last year, Jalen

205
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: Wattle gets to be a kind of an interesting late

206
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: round drafted dart throat to me.

207
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's true. They had some struggles running

208
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: the ball last year for sure, and you know, well

209
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 4: Hm was the lead back and was taking the majority

210
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 4: of the work. I don't think there's any other running

211
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 4: back on this team that could step up to take

212
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: work to improve the overall situation. So you know, like

213
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 4: Jalen Wright, he's probably the handcuff here because he's just

214
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 4: been in the office for the offense for an extra year,

215
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: whereas you know, Madison and Gordon both need to be

216
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: ramped up a little bit. So yeah, this could be

217
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 4: a bit more of a passing team. I mean, even

218
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 4: Hm himself can be a pass catching back. So if

219
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 4: they're not going to try to just you know, run

220
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 4: smash mouth football, which no one expects them to. But

221
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: they're certainly gonna lean into their pass options, which you know, again,

222
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 4: you need to stay healthy and you need that offensive

223
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 4: line to outperform our current expectations.

224
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: I think I called Jalen right, Jalen Waddle.

225
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 4: Nice of you not to Oh yeah, okay, I actually

226
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 4: wasn't sure, but I think yeah, I think both were.

227
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna why not.

228
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: They're the ones who put two Jalen W's on their

229
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: own team.

230
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: So look, this is undemb not me. Uh.

231
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: Overall, is this Miami offense going to be better or

232
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: worse than last year?

233
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 4: It's again, I think it comes down to health. I

234
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: said worse by stagnation. I don't think they're really doing

235
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 4: anything to help out their offense. I think that the

236
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 4: changes that they made on the offensive line were valiant

237
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 4: but falling short, and so I'm going with worse. If

238
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 4: they stay healthy. You know, Mike McDaniel, he's offensive guru.

239
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: He can pull it together and make it work again.

240
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 4: And maybe there's an upside case, but I think just

241
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 4: looking at personnel changes, it's worse.

242
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: Let's go over to the Buffalo Bills.

243
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: The big change for Buffalo is in the wide receiver room.

244
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper free agent right now today. Nobody wants him.

245
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: Everybody assumes he's cooked at this point. Khalil Shakir got

246
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: a four year, fifty million dollar extension. I love it.

247
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 1: He drastically improved last year, doubled his production from the

248
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: year prior.

249
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 3: A lot of it was.

250
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: Shorter passes, some which he turned into big plays. He

251
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: led all full time receivers in yards after catch last year,

252
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: right around eight yards per catch. He was top twenty

253
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: and target rate among all wide receivers. But where Khalil

254
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: Shakir was not able to help us last year and

255
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: this might not change, is they just don't throw to

256
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: him anywhere near the the end zone.

257
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: He had a ten percent end zone rate. That's it.

258
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: Target rate, that's it. And so I think he had three,

259
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: maybe four touchdowns last year.

260
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: And that's that's caps.

261
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: The upside for Khalil Shakir. I love everything else about

262
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: his game. They brought in those journeymen that I honestly

263
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: don't care about, Josh Palmer, Elijah Moore, levishkas Chanot.

264
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 3: Ken Coleman returns year two.

265
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm actually pretty optimistic about a breakout in his sophomore year.

266
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 1: You know, he missed a month of development time last

267
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: year with that risk injury Kent, and then he got

268
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: saddled with a part time role because they had brought

269
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: in guys like Amari Cooper that they were filtering in.

270
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: And I want to believe Coleman is sitting on a

271
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: much better year in year two, and he's got Fantasy

272
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: Football's number one quarterback in ADP throwing to him. I like,

273
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 1: Keyan Coleman is as a dart throw that you can

274
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: pick up in eleventh round of your league. What do

275
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: you what do you think about Kean Coleman.

276
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean they drafted him as a traits guy,

277
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 4: and I know that his production didn't quite match his traits,

278
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 4: but you know, he needed probably a year or two

279
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 4: to truly break out in the way that we're used

280
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 4: to in a fantasy landscape. And you know, he doesn't

281
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 4: have the pressure of being the number one guy. This

282
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 4: is a platoon receiving court. We kind of touched on

283
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 4: that last week as well, So you know, Sekuur, even

284
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,599
Speaker 4: Elijah Moore, Joshua Palmer, they're all going to play a

285
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 4: little bit. So kenk Colon shouldn't have any pressure on

286
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 4: himself to be going out and taking the game into

287
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 4: his own hands. Typically it's Josh Allen doing all that,

288
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: and he's really good at that. So they're gonna spread around.

289
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 4: Kean Coleman's gonna get his fair share if they need

290
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: a big body in the end zone. Coleman's a dude

291
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 4: who should have an uptick in touchdown potential this year.

292
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: I would think the running back room basically unchanged. Offensive

293
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: line also basically unchanged for Buffalo. The at the tight

294
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: end position, You'd like to believe this is the year

295
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: that Dalton Kincaid really exerts himself over Dawson Knox. We

296
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: saw signs of that at the end of his rookie year,

297
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: and then last year was an almost even time split

298
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: between those two, which frustrated a lot of fantasy owners,

299
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: including me. So I gotta believe that Kencaid's going to

300
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: have more opportunities to distance himself from Dawson Knox. In totality,

301
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: I think this Bill's offense is slightly better just because

302
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: I think Keyon Coleman gets a little better. Ray Davis

303
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: could have a bigger role now as a sophomore and

304
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: Dalton Kincaid could have a bigger role and could be

305
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: better in year number three. So we'll go slightly better

306
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: for the Bills. Let's head over the Jets, Kent. We've

307
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: got a whole new coaching staff to talk about.

308
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Robert sala is out and we're bringing in Aaron Glenn,

309
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: the former defensive coordinator from the Lions, who is also

310
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: bringing along with him Tanner Engstround excuse me, Engstrand, and

311
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 4: he was the pass game coordinator for the Lions. So

312
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 4: if we're looking to, you know, kind of the focus,

313
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 4: there's definitely a defensive head coach is something that's I

314
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 4: would say a concern for most fantasy players, whether justified

315
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 4: or not. But this is a first time offensive coordinator

316
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 4: and that's going to be interesting to watch. It's you know,

317
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 4: we'll get into it here. But a personnel that I

318
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 4: think has gotten overall worse. They've made some improvements and

319
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 4: we'll talk about him here. So the offensive line, you know,

320
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 4: they now they've gone back to back years drafting first

321
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: round offensive tackles Olufashawanda last year, our Man Membu this year.

322
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 4: They have their full interior coming back and they all

323
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 4: posted really good PFF blocking grades last season, So I

324
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 4: think we have an improved offensive line situation. Unfortunately, I

325
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 4: think that's probably the only part where they've made improvements.

326
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 4: You know, Aaron Rodgers has gone. Justin Fields signed a

327
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 4: two year, forty million dollar contract, and you know, last

328
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 4: season he got replaced by Russell Wilson up in Pittsburgh.

329
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 4: It was a very interesting situation. I think a lot

330
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 4: of people kind of wanted to see Justin Fields keep going.

331
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 4: He started the first six games of the year last

332
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 4: year for the Steelers and he was QB six during

333
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 4: those weeks. I mean, he was performing in terms of fantasy,

334
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 4: it was just kind of the more NFL side that

335
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 4: people had questions about his ability to win games. So,

336
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 4: you know, that's a downgrade in terms of the quarterback.

337
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 4: On the receiver side of things, obviously, Devon Adams is

338
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 4: gone at him for eleven games last year after the trade,

339
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 4: and now he's off gallivanting around on a new team.

340
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 3: So when you when when you go to LA do

341
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 3: you get to gallivant?

342
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, they do their fair share of gallivanting, and

343
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 4: well if you do, if you do.

344
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 3: If you go to any p Diddy's parties.

345
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they're gonna be Yeah, you'll do a lot

346
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: of gallivanting.

347
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 4: Let's hope that Adams didn't go to any of those.

348
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 4: But uh, I digress. But Garrett Wilson is, you know,

349
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 4: still the you know, left as the number one here again.

350
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 4: And you know last year he was he was solid.

351
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 4: One hundred fifty four targets, eleven hundred receiving yards, seven touchdowns.

352
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 4: That's fine. He hasn't quite lived up to his hype

353
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 4: that he had after he went in the first round.

354
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 4: A lot of people were really high on him. Ohio

355
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:51,199
Speaker 4: State receivers, you know, they got this kind of monkey

356
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 4: on their back they're still trying to get rid of.

357
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 4: But I saw a tweet recently, actually, I think that

358
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 4: is very telling us from Heath Cummings, who works for

359
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 4: US Fantasy. Sometimes you know the answer before you even

360
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 4: asked the question. Two receivers have seen at least four

361
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 4: hundred targets in their first three seasons and have averaged

362
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 4: less than seven yards per target. The first, Deontay Johnson,

363
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 4: who as we know, has been kind of dealing with

364
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 4: his own issues, can't seem to land on a team

365
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 4: and establish a role anymore. And then the other is

366
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 4: Garret Wilson.

367
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 3: So not but those guys are nothing alike. You know,

368
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 3: I swear Gara Wilson is actually good.

369
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 4: He is, and I think you know Deontay Johnson. I

370
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 4: won't go too deep into him, but he was always

371
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 4: a volume guy. I think that's where most of his

372
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,360
Speaker 4: fantasy affinity came from. And Garret Wilson is a lot

373
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 4: more dynamic after the catch and everything. So you're totally

374
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 4: right there. I just it's it's again another sign he's

375
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 4: just not quite what we've been what we wanted from him, and.

376
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 1: We're quarterbacks, or as quarterbacks for Garrett Wilson, have not

377
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: been what we wanted. Aaron Rodgers threw his arm out

378
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: of socket last year, all of it to DeVante Adams.

379
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, And you know, Garrett Wilson was the second

380
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 4: fiddle there and now he's back to being first fiddle.

381
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 4: But who's going to be second fiddled this year is

382
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 4: the question. You know, we have Al Lazard left over

383
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 4: from the Rogers recruitment campaign. He was a ghost without

384
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 4: Rodgers in twenty three, so I'm not seeing Lazard stepping

385
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 4: up this year. Josh Reynold was acquired for pennies on

386
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 4: the dollar and free agency. They have Malchi Corley, who

387
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 4: he saw six targets in twenty twenty four, and you know,

388
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 4: he was more of a gadget kind of guy coming

389
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 4: out a lot a lot of usage in the screen

390
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 4: game and stuff like that. But they didn't even try

391
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 4: to get the ball in his hands last year. So

392
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 4: if there's a breakout coming, I don't think many people

393
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 4: see it. And I don't know of this particular group

394
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 4: who's going to be wide receiver too. Do you have

395
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: any guesses.

396
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: Out of those guys. I mean, if you make me

397
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: pick somebody, I can't take Corley. He's just he's just

398
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 1: not built to be at number two. I'll take Thizard

399
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: and just yuck.

400
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, it's gross. And I think that's also a

401
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 4: worrying sign for Gear Wilson, as he'll probably see more

402
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 4: bracket coverage and stuff like that. So you know, if

403
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 4: we switch up and talk about their running game a

404
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 4: little bit, they're bringing back their same platoon from last year,

405
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 4: Brailn Allen, Isaiah Davis, the same guys, and you know,

406
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 4: it's Breese Hall's back field for now, and I think

407
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 4: that he has a tenuous grasp on the backfield. As

408
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 4: things stand, he had some home run hits, but when

409
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 4: he's not hitting the home runs, he's striking out a lot,

410
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 4: and that's really tough to see, you know. Braylen Allen,

411
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 4: they tried to get him involved and he was kind

412
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 4: of ho hum, a little bit of a plotter at times.

413
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 4: Isaiah Davis I think had the most juice. He had

414
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 4: five point eight yards per carry. He was plus one

415
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 4: point four rushing yards over expectation per attempt, and all

416
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 4: that was week fourteen and beyond, So they were getting

417
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 4: involved late in the year. If you're gonna see any

418
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 4: kind of transition out of this backfield, I think Davis

419
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 4: has the chance to leap frog Braylan Allen. And you know,

420
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 4: if Breesol can't find a rhythm, there could be potential

421
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 4: that they start either going full balanced a third apiece,

422
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: or they give Davis a little bit more of the

423
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:09,479
Speaker 4: carries down the stretch.

424
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 3: I disliked.

425
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: I dislike Davis until the very end of the year,

426
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: and I was really disappointed in what we saw for

427
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,880
Speaker 1: the most part, given how much optimism we had when

428
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: he came into the league. But he started to show

429
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: signs at the end of the year. But I am

430
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: not ready to talk about Breeze Hall losing his job.

431
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to go there. You are on an

432
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: island as far as I'm concerned, gone that cat.

433
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 4: I yeah, And that's we're talking like a five to

434
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 4: ten percent scenario here. But in terms of, you know,

435
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 4: we're bringing back the same guys, what changes could there be?

436
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 4: That's the only one I could see a path for.

437
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 4: That's kind of the way I'm putting.

438
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: It, all right, So in totality, Jets over, are they

439
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: better or are they worse this coming year?

440
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 4: It's definitely worse. And the only way that they're gonna

441
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 4: have a better outcome is if they have some miracle

442
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 4: comeback season from Justin Fields as a passer, I don't.

443
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: I don't see that as likely. So I'm just going

444
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 4: straight up worse.

445
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go to the Patriots, where everything is new,

446
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: new head coach, new offensive coordinator, but names you already

447
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: know offensive coordinator or new coaches Mike Rabel, your offensive

448
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: coordinator is Josh McDaniels. There's you know, we've seen the

449
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: good and bad of Josh McDaniels offenses. More bad than good,

450
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: and that part worries me when he hasn't ed Tom Brady,

451
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels hasn't hasn't shown himself to be a terribly

452
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: effective offensive coordinator. I think this team will be run heavy,

453
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: like most people believe Mike Rabel Now, granted he had

454
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 1: Derek Henry, but he ran the ball like crazy in Tennessee.

455
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: We presume that's going to be that the Patriots will

456
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: be focused that way this year, and that's probably why

457
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: they added Traveon Henderson in round number two. Now, Ramondre

458
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: Stevenson remains the presumed starter, at least at the beginning

459
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: of the year, because he has got all the you know,

460
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: all the history and everything else that you get with

461
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: with the starters, but with the veteran But sometimes you

462
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: bring in a whole new coaching staff, they don't care,

463
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: you know, like you know Ramondre.

464
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: They have no history with Ramondre. Maybe they won't care.

465
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: I do like Ramondre, and I still think he starts

466
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: the season, but I do worry about Henderson at some

467
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: point that this either goes platoon or Henderson.

468
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 3: Just beats him out at some point.

469
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,400
Speaker 1: I always feel like Ramandre Kent runs hard, He does

470
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: what he can behind a terrible offensive line, which is

471
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 1: most of what he's had for his entire career. A reminder,

472
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: when Mike Rabel was the head coach of the Titans,

473
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: they ran the second most running plays. Only Baltimore ran more,

474
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: and they had Lamar Jackson. So this is gonna this

475
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: should be plenty of running plays coming in this new offense.

476
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: And then the offensive line got better. They got three

477
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: new starters. They put the fourth overall pick into Will Campbell.

478
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,719
Speaker 1: They added longtime Minnesota starting center Garrett Bradberry and then

479
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 1: journeyman right tackle Morgan Moses as well. They're all upgrades

480
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: over what they had been trolling out on their offensive

481
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: line for the Patriots.

482
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 3: So kind of excited about that.

483
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: The receiver situation did not get nearly the attention I

484
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: thought it would, And I'm really disappointed about this as

485
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: somebody who likes Drake may a lot Stefan Diggs, who

486
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 1: knows at his age what his ability will be like

487
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: to overcome an ACL. His availability for Week one is

488
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: very much up in the air. They brought in mac Hollins,

489
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: don't really care. They spent a third rounder on Kyle Williams.

490
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: And the thing is he looks like a project. He

491
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: did not wow anybody in college after his freshman season,

492
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: and he might have to you may have to learn

493
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: the slot in the NFL. It's just there's he doesn't

494
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: seem like he's ready to make an immediate impact. So

495
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: really bummed out about the offseason that the Patriots had

496
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: to receive. And I understand ken they needed to fix

497
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: like everything except quarterback and you couldn't get to it all.

498
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: But man, I didn't love the moves that they ended

499
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 1: up making it receiver. Do you do you see the

500
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: receiver position for the Patriot it's any differently or more

501
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: optimistically than I do?

502
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 4: No, I don't. I don't think Kyle Williams is going

503
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 4: to be a dynamic change, game changer to this receiving corps.

504
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 4: One thing to note is that they do love using

505
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 4: two tight ends. Both Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper get

506
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 4: involved pretty pretty commonly, so they're not going to rely

507
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 4: on the receivers in a very heavy way. And I think,

508
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 4: you know, if they get digs back, this this is

509
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 4: overall a decent receiving corps, you know, And looking at

510
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,879
Speaker 4: the draft, they spent their four first draft picks on

511
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 4: offensive positions, whether offensive line, receiver, running back. They really

512
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 4: wanted to make an effort to make things better for

513
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 4: Drake May. I don't think it was as good as

514
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 4: it could have been, but at least I'm seeing the

515
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 4: effort and hopefully, you know, maybe we're a little bit

516
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 4: wrong about Kyle Williams. Maybe he can step up and

517
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 4: you know, be a larger role on this receiving corps.

518
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 4: But it's it's still falling short of what you would

519
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 4: hope to have in place for a guy like Drake May,

520
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 4: who has showed all the trades of I think a

521
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 4: really great quarterback, and you need to be able to

522
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 4: put the team around him to make it work.

523
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: The word I was using around Drake May is gallant.

524
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: I think he played gallantly while trying to overcome the

525
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 1: worst offensive line in football last year and the worst

526
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 1: set of receivers all on the same team, and he

527
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: was still fantasy viable in part because of his running,

528
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: in part because he heaved up some bombs, because he

529
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: does have the big arm. I think he is he

530
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: is a candidate for a big jump this year if

531
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,880
Speaker 1: he's not under constant duress and it turns out any

532
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: of his receivers can catch. We don't know that that's

533
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: the case yet, we'll find out. So overall, you know,

534
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: they finished thirtieth in points scored last year. They'll be

535
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: better than that this year. Just with the improvements on

536
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: the offensive line. Maybe Diggs will come back and be

537
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 1: a you know, if you can just be two thirds

538
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: of what he was a couple of years ago, that

539
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,439
Speaker 1: would we would we'd be very very happy with that.

540
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,119
Speaker 3: Can't. Let's take a break when we came back.

541
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: Let's turn our attention to the n f C and uh,

542
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's dive into those teams, including the Eagles.

543
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 3: We'll find out what changed, what is new in the

544
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 3: super Bowl city of Philadelphia when we come back.

545
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Segment number two Fantasy Football Weekly Paul Charchian

546
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: and kent Y Rock Kent. People can follow you on Twitter.

547
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 1: I do, but then they have to spell your name.

548
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it doesn't the same way it sounds. So

549
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 4: I'll go ahead and get other people out here. Yeah. Absolutely,

550
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 4: So it's uh kent k e n t y rock

551
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 4: w E y r a U c H and yes,

552
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 4: it's super German.

553
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: It's super German. Some people would say all Germans are

554
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: super mm. That is not an easy one, and I'm not.

555
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: Don't ask even I, who know you and have your

556
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: name frequently, full name right in front of me, even

557
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: I would struggle to nail that one down. That's in

558
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: many ways worse than charging in I always feel like

559
00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: with charging, if you if I gave you three cracks

560
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: at it, you'd probably get it.

561
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I rock, I would be like twenty.

562
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,159
Speaker 4: And I've heard all twenty from various round half around

563
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 4: the block, So yeah, I've heard them all. I'm not

564
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 4: offended any way when it gets mispronounced.

565
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, you can't be you'd be a ball of

566
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: rage all the time. You absolutely can't do that. Let's

567
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: go to the NFC. Speaking of rage, that would be

568
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,800
Speaker 1: your Philadelphia Eagle fans typically, but not this year, enjoying

569
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: the aura of a Super Bowl victory. They're second in

570
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 1: six years, I believe, So let's talk about Super Bowl champs.

571
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: Not a lot of change here, but one of the

572
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: big changes was that offensive coordinator.

573
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right,

574
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 4: And the Eagles have built up this roster, they've really

575
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: done an excellent job with their team building over the years.

576
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 4: But the new offensive coordinator situation is because Kellen Moore

577
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 4: left to take the Saints head coaching job, which is

578
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 4: its own interesting storyline we'll get to when we get

579
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 4: to that division. But he's replaced by Kevin Patulo I

580
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 4: believe it's pronounced, and he's been the Eagles passing game

581
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 4: coordinator since twenty twenty one, so there's a lot of

582
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 4: familiarity here. I have a feeling this is not going

583
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 4: to be a major effect on the offense. A lot

584
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 4: of the same tendencies and styles are going to be

585
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 4: replicated from last year. So one thing that's really important

586
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 4: to note, you know, talk about the Patriots drafting only

587
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 4: offensive players early in the draft. The Eagles didn't touch

588
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 4: offense until they got to round five, so they started defense, defense, defense.

589
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 4: They really put a heavy heavyweight on the defensive side

590
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 4: of the ball. And why not when your offense is

591
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 4: so good, your offensive line is still really great. You know,

592
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 4: it's mostly the same. They have a slight downgrade at

593
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 4: right guard because as they lost Mecky mackay Becton to

594
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 4: UH and they downgraded to Tyler Steen, but he is

595
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 4: their third rounder from the twenty twenty three NFL drafts.

596
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 4: So again, he's been in the building. This shouldn't be

597
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 4: a major downgrade. Could be an upgrade. We're not really sure.

598
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 4: We haven't seen a lot of him yet. But this

599
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 4: is the same offensive line that's been able to handle

600
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 4: the tush push, been able to handle you know, Saquon

601
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 4: Barkley breaking two thousand rushing yards. This is a great

602
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 4: offensive line. So how that applies to their passing game.

603
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 4: You know, they're bringing back with the core Jalen Hurts, A. J. Brown,

604
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 4: Devanna Smith, Dallas Godeer. They signed Terrace Marshall. Can you

605
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 4: believe it? He was a raided year And I must

606
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 4: have deleted that from because exactly I didn't you know,

607
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 4: see him on the field whatsoever in any kind of

608
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 4: meaningful capacity. But you know one thing that they did

609
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 4: do is they brought on some tight ends. You know,

610
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 4: Dallas goder there's again they're talking about maybe trading him

611
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 4: very recently here, but they decided to rework his contract.

612
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 4: He took a little bit of a downgrade and pay,

613
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 4: and they brought in k Kylin grantson from the Colts

614
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 4: and Harrison Bryant from the Raiders as well, So they've

615
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 4: got a little bit better of a tight end room.

616
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 4: I guess you could say behind him. You know, last

617
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 4: year he missed some time and uh Calcutta, what was

618
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 4: his first name? I don't even remember, Kata cal Katara,

619
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 4: the rant Calata Grant cal Katara was the backup and

620
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 4: he was just okay. So they needed some more depth

621
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 4: at the tight end position. I think that's the main

622
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 4: reason they brought those guys in.

623
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: Calcutt a clipper, Yes, cut a clipper. That's what we'll do.

624
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: Uh.

625
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 3: A J. Brown and DeVonta Smith remained great.

626
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: Funny John Dotson still on the team and you wouldn't

627
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: even know it if you watched any of the games.

628
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: It's uh what you know, Howie Roseman's the best GM

629
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: in football, one of the two best, probably the best.

630
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 3: But wow did he got you know? I think it

631
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 3: was a fourth rounder that he gave up for Dotson

632
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,120
Speaker 3: and that was a that was bad. It was bad.

633
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones, not to be outdone, gave up that fourth

634
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: rounder for Jonathan Mingo.

635
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 3: Those were goodness.

636
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 1: All of those wide receiver trades that we had last year,

637
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: like none of them worked out. It's a it's a

638
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: tough position to just drop some somebody new into.

639
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, so with.

640
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: All everything else being so similar or well, I should

641
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: mention this, they lost Kenneth Gainwell, and to my eyes,

642
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell was coming off his best year by mile.

643
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: I thought he looked really, really spry and efficient in

644
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: that offense in a way that he hadn't before. I

645
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: you know, obviously I'm not trying to jinx anything about

646
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, but I think they would miss having Gainwell

647
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: if anything were to happen to Barkley.

648
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I could see that.

649
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 3: You know.

650
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 4: They brought in aj Dillon is kind of a I

651
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 4: don't know, replacement. He's not he doesn't run the same

652
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 4: way as not All or anything like that. But in

653
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 4: terms of having a backup there, that's the most likely option.

654
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 4: Or they still have will Shipley as well. So I

655
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 4: know it's it's it's not a good situation if Barkley

656
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 4: were to go down. That's certainly the main takeaway here.

657
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 4: And you know, we're talking about how things are affecting

658
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 4: the future. Can we look at if Barkley is going

659
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 4: to be able to repeat the success he had last year.

660
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 4: I don't know that he can almost you know, right,

661
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 4: almost can't act. And I think that's the larger takeaway

662
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 4: from the Philadelphia Eagles, is that because they brought back

663
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 4: all the same people, you could say, well, how could

664
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 4: it get worse? And I think that the argument would

665
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 4: be that they played at their ceiling. They played the

666
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 4: best possible version of this offense. You know, Jalen Hurts,

667
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: who is a very very good passer, very good runner.

668
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 4: He kind of hit some high benchmarks in terms of

669
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 4: you know, his yards per attempt a just a completion percentage,

670
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 4: his run game or excuse his PFF run great, and

671
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 4: then passer rating. So those are all highs for him.

672
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 4: And you know, if you're telling me, or if you're

673
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 4: asking me if I think he's going to repeat that,

674
00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 4: I would say probably not. He's just he's not the

675
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 4: elite level of a passer. He's a very good passer

676
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 4: and a very good runner, possibly elite runner as well,

677
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 4: just maybe a shade behind kind of like the Lamar

678
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 4: Jackson Jayden Daniels t here, but still very very good.

679
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: All right, So Eagles as a team do they get

680
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: but they almost can't get better. But you know, I'll

681
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,359
Speaker 1: give I'll put it in your hands. Do the Eagles

682
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: offense is, in totality get better or worse this year?

683
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: If I'm a betting man, I'll say worse. I don't

684
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 4: feel good about it, but that's that's where the money

685
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 4: should go.

686
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 3: I think.

687
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just you know, like Barkley gets hurt,

688
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 1: you know, or you know, Ag Brown gets hurt, who

689
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: never misses time, rarely misses time. I'm with you, almost,

690
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, not that there's any reason for them to

691
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: get worse. It's just they almost can't get better than

692
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: what they were last year.

693
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 3: All right, let's go to the Cowboys.

694
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: That'll be your first game of the season, right, It's

695
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 1: it's Eagles Cowboys Thursday night.

696
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah well, yeah, yeah, I believe that is correct.

697
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: And oh it's so exciting that they're putting the seven

698
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: win Cowboys on national television in week Number one is

699
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: the kickoff game. Because everybody loves America's team. Everybody's second

700
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: favorite team.

701
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 3: Is the Dallas Cowboys.

702
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,399
Speaker 1: I feel such a sense of patriotism when I think

703
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: about America's team at they.

704
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 4: Got to lose that Moniker. I don't know if that's

705
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 4: so much the case anymore.

706
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 3: I think it never was.

707
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 4: Well, that's certainly possibility.

708
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,640
Speaker 3: Just me. All right, let's start at the quarterback position.

709
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott comes back currently going off the board around

710
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: quarterback nineteen or twenty.

711
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 3: I think that's a little light. I like him a

712
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 3: little bit better than that.

713
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: And I believe that the addition of George Pickens will

714
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: help get more downfield passing out a Dak yet a

715
00:35:56,440 --> 00:36:00,360
Speaker 1: really short a dot last years twenty eighth in average

716
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: distance of throw just eight yards last year. I think

717
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: Pickens will unlock more downfield passing because of his go

718
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: up and get it stylings that he has, And it

719
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: really is different. You know, neither he nor ceede Lam

720
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 1: or Burners, but we know that Pickens can do some

721
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:23,840
Speaker 1: really fun stuff downfield when he can dominate shorter, less

722
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:28,040
Speaker 1: physical cornerbacks. Maybe that ultimately ends up up helping Dak.

723
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: And I think I think the quarterback upgrade certainly helps

724
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: George Pickens as well, who becomes much more fantasy viable

725
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: here than he was in Pittsburgh. They also added Paris Campbell,

726
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 1: but I think at this point he's officially and we

727
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: can officially deem him to be a journeyman. I'd liked

728
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: him coming out of the draft, but then he had

729
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: all those injuries in his first couple of years and

730
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: just hasn't been able to put it together.

731
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 3: Unfortunately.

732
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 1: The biggest story for the Cowboys, though, ken without a doubt,

733
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: it's the running back position. We all thought this team

734
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: was going to invest in this the mother of all

735
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: running back drafts, that this team was going to invest

736
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 1: some real equity into the running back position, and they didn't.

737
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: They brought in Javante Williams. Let's talk about in for

738
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: just a minute now. Last year was his second year

739
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: off ACL, so I mean, you don't get any You

740
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 1: can't keep blaming the ACL forever that that's done with.

741
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: He was third to last in rushing yards over expectation,

742
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: well under expectation, about negative point six yards under expectation

743
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: per carry. Among runners with at least one hundred carries.

744
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: Last year, Williams ranked forty first in yards, forty sixth

745
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: in yards per carry, and forty first in broken tackle rate,

746
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: all of them very near the bottom of runners with

747
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: at least one hundred carries. For Javonte Williams, I don't

748
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: understand why they made the move to pick him up

749
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: at all. I think if they hadn't, he'd be a

750
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: free agent right now. They also brought in Miles Sanders,

751
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: we know how his stint in Carolina went, and then

752
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: they did draft a rookie, Jaden Blue. But the problem is,

753
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: Jayden Blue looks just like a change of pace runner.

754
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,560
Speaker 1: He does not look like a special runner. He doesn't

755
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: look like somebody who's gonna carry the ball more than

756
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: six seven times a game.

757
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 3: He wasn't in college.

758
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: I don't see his game really translating to other than

759
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: some scattershot, potential big plays now and again, I don't

760
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: think Jayden Blue is going to be an answer. So

761
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: I did not like what Jerry Jones ended up doing

762
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: at running back, and I didn't see any significant change here.

763
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 1: In totality, Cowboys will be better this year with Pickens

764
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: getting Dak back, but I don't see this team getting

765
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: a lot better. Dak could have some big games Kent,

766
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 1: because I think the running game is going to be

767
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 1: just awful again, and that's going to give an opportunity

768
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: to pass a lot, and we may see Dak throwing

769
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: the ball a ton. I should mention, by the way,

770
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: before we move off to Dallas. They did put that

771
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: first round pick into right guard Tyler Booker, and you never,

772
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, we always love teams that fortify their offensive

773
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: line at the end of the day. That always almost

774
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: always helps. And when Zach Martin retired, they had they

775
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 1: had to do something. They had nowhere to go, so

776
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: Tyler Booker goes in there. But to me, Zach Martin

777
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: was so good for so long that's at best just

778
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: sort of like a push on what was a mach

779
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: offensive line last year.

780
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Cowboys, they had the pristine vision of what

781
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 4: an offensive line should be for so many years, and

782
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 4: then it kind of fell apart on him a little bit.

783
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 4: And you know that's going to happen. You go through

784
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 4: waves and cycles and I totally get it. But one

785
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 4: other thing I wanted to note in regards to the

786
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,680
Speaker 4: Cowboys that you know, last year their defense was horrific,

787
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 4: and I think that they did not make many meaningful

788
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 4: additions there too, So you could see a lot of

789
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 4: high over undertotal. That's the games that these guys are playing.

790
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 4: It So in terms of fantasy, you know, you got

791
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 4: decks slinging the ball either from behind or just trying

792
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 4: to get ahead. So I'm with you. I've been in

793
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 4: on Dak. I've been drafting him quite a bit recently

794
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 4: here in Best Ball drafts, So I'm with you there.

795
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to our next team, Washington Commanders.

796
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: Now suddenly the thrilling what and another team that I

797
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: thought was going to make a move at running back

798
00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: and much to my frustration, did not because I am

799
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: just I am not a Brian Robinson believer.

800
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 4: Well you know, I get it. But also they were

801
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 4: third in rushing yards last year, so if it ain't,

802
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 4: don't fix it once again.

803
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: That's that was their quarterback, and Austin Eckler helped.

804
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 4: Sure, yep, that's fair, I know that. You know, some

805
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 4: of the advanced measures that were on the Commander's running

806
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 4: backs were still pretty good. In fact, all of their

807
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 4: running backs, Robinson, Eckler, McNicholas Rodriguez, they were all over

808
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 4: expectation on rushing yards. So they were able to use

809
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 4: their offense and their scheme in a way to make

810
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,760
Speaker 4: their running backs work well. In addition to Jane Daniels,

811
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 4: who's obviously the cherry on in terms of transforming this

812
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 4: into a really strong rushing offense, you know, and even

813
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 4: so that they were so focused on rushing despite being

814
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 4: near the back of the league and passing attempts they

815
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 4: were ninth and passing touchdowns too, so they're scoring a

816
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 4: whole bunch on the ground through the air. They drafted

817
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 4: Josh Connerley at the end of the first round. I

818
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,320
Speaker 4: see that as more of a succession plan to Laramie Tunsel,

819
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 4: who has I'd have to look, but I think another

820
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,799
Speaker 4: year or two left on his contract and he might

821
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 4: get a shot at right tackle. They don't have a

822
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 4: true starter right now on the right side, so that

823
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 4: could be a camp battle kind of situation.

824
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 2: Uh.

825
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 4: You know, they were second in run block win rate

826
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 4: of this offensive line last year, so again, I think

827
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 4: it's all coming together under the scheme. Cliff Kingsbury really

828
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 4: did a great job as the offensive coordinator here. I

829
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 4: have to give credit where it's due despite his you know,

830
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 4: head coaching. You know kurb Bunkle that he went through recently.

831
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:59,360
Speaker 4: So you know Jane Daniels, he yeah, Jane and Daniels.

832
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 4: You know, he was the second Olverall pick. But obviously

833
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,800
Speaker 4: he lived up to the hype. He was sixth and

834
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 4: EPA per play that's going to continue that he's so

835
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,239
Speaker 4: dynamic pass catchers that he's throwing to.

836
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 2: Now.

837
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,439
Speaker 4: They signed Noah Brown, which is a good third option,

838
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 4: I'll say, And then they traded a fifth round pick

839
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 4: for Deebo Samuel, which might sound like a load trade compensation.

840
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 4: That's more of a contract age offsetting type of thing

841
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 4: when it comes to the trades in the NFL. So

842
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 4: I wouldn't put it past them to still be using

843
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 4: Deebo Samuel quite a bit. He's coming off a little

844
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 4: bit of a down year, but very much a down

845
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 4: year from a fan. I downplayed it, or maybe uplayed it,

846
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 4: whatever the correct way to say that is. But it's

847
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 4: a down year for sure. And I think that this

848
00:42:40,600 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 4: is a good offense for him to come to. And

849
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 4: I think that if you know Kingsbury's going to continue

850
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 4: with his offensive success, that he can scheme up Debo,

851
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 4: get him some screen looks, get him out in space

852
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: the same way he was used in San Francisco. So

853
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 4: I think that he's a good fit for this offense.

854
00:42:57,200 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 4: He pairs well with Terry McLaurin, who's kind of, you know,

855
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 4: somewhat similar to and I, you sort of prototype, And

856
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 4: I think this is a good combo of one two

857
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 4: wide receiver.

858
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 3: Let me ask you this about Deebo Samuel.

859
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: I'm working on my guillotine player rankings now we're gonna

860
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 1: post him fairly soon. I really really thought long and

861
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: hard about zach Ertz, who was a terrific guillotine tight end.

862
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: Not really explosive, but you know he was helping you

863
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 1: out with like, you know, four catches and sixty yards

864
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 1: a game and really really safe.

865
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 3: But here comes Deebo.

866
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: Samuel, and we know Deebo Samuel lines up in the

867
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: slot a lot.

868
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 3: He's about built like a tight end.

869
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,080
Speaker 1: And I'm a little bit worried that Deebo Samuel is

870
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: going to eat into zach Ertz's just sort of game

871
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 1: in and game out productivity that we saw last year.

872
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 3: Do you have any thoughts about that?

873
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't see Ertz being replicating the success he

874
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 4: had last year. He's already got Benson at behind him,

875
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 4: kind of champion at the big.

876
00:43:56,560 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 3: And it had like one catch last year. I'm not

877
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 3: worried about that.

878
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 4: Sure, that's fair, but you know, if if they're wanting to,

879
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 4: you know, zech Ertz is up there in age, so

880
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,120
Speaker 4: they're gonna need some someone to step in once he

881
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 4: is done playing. And and that's the current game plan.

882
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 4: So maybe they change that in the in the coming years,

883
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 4: but for now, that's the way I think they look

884
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 4: at it. And yeah, I you know, Debo is going

885
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,279
Speaker 4: to cut into that if they have any you know,

886
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 4: reduced success in terms of their overall offense, passing, rushing

887
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 4: either way, you know, all of a sudden, Earth's becomes

888
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 4: kind of a second option in this overall offense. They're

889
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 4: going to go to their main guys like Debo McLaurin

890
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,440
Speaker 4: and then you know, Brian Robinson and maybe Eckler. But

891
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 4: it's it's it's not someone that I'm I'm particularly interested

892
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 4: in drafting a whole bunch this year for sure.

893
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm I'm really I'm torn on that because guy

894
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: he made he helped me in so many Guillotine leagues

895
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: ers did where you don't need explosive output, you just

896
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,439
Speaker 1: need to have solid numbers for you know, up until

897
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 1: about Thanksgiving, and I I want to believe that he

898
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 1: could do that again in this in this offense, Washington's

899
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,239
Speaker 1: got so many different ways to score and hurt opponents,

900
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 1: and you know, he could be you know, he could

901
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: be remain a big tool in that, but we'll find out.

902
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: So sorry, sorry to cut you off there. I'll let

903
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: you continue, but I just wanted to get to a

904
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: little zach Ertz chatter in there.

905
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, that's fine. The only point to touch on

906
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 4: is the rushing game. You know, they bringing back the

907
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 4: same group, so there's not a whole lot of changes.

908
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 4: Eckler's getting old, so maybe they reduce his touch work

909
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 4: a little bit. I'm not sure, But overall, I think

910
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 4: this offense is better just for adding Deebo Samuel to it.

911
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 4: And I think Noah Brown is a good addition as well.

912
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna I'm gonna look on the positive side

913
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 4: for this one.

914
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: Say better all right, I'm I'm I probably would say better,

915
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: But Raminson just doesn't do it for me fortieth and

916
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: avoided tackle. Right, He's just you know, for a guy

917
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: his size, I want him to shred some dudes.

918
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 3: I want him to break tackles, doesn't break tackles. Just

919
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 3: not a power runner. Despite as you know, eye test,

920
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,879
Speaker 3: you think he's gonna be. Yeah, he's just a guy.

921
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

922
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 4: I don't just.

923
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: I just I wish, I wish this team, and you know,

924
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: they put a first rounder in their offensive line, which

925
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,759
Speaker 1: I always love and that ultimately, at the end of

926
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: the day, I respect that part of it. But man,

927
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: there were some game changing running backs that they passed

928
00:46:21,160 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: on that I don't I don't understand. Let's go to

929
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: the Giants, our fourth thought, well, eighth and final team

930
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: for this podcast, saving the worst for last, I guess,

931
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: so a lot of change a quarterback, right, So we

932
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: have Russell Wilson, We've got Jameis Winston, and then in

933
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:43,240
Speaker 1: the first round they took Jackson Dart. Now, everybody believes

934
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: that the ideal scenario here is Dart doesn't touch a

935
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: starting NFL game this year. He is widely viewed as

936
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,960
Speaker 1: a project who is best learning from the bench for

937
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,720
Speaker 1: a year, in part because he came from the Lane

938
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: Kiffin shotgun system, which is all all about building a

939
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: skill set that does not work necessarily in the NFL.

940
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,760
Speaker 1: You get all these advantages of misdirection and false tells,

941
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: and then all you have to do is go make

942
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: your first read and Dart was good at that. But

943
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 1: a lot of times those traits do not translate to

944
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,839
Speaker 1: the NFL right away. When you have to methodically make

945
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: your reads. And the hope is that Dart would have

946
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 1: to start that the Giants offense can be just fine

947
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson, that it can be good enough, much

948
00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: like Russell Wilson was last year in Pittsburgh.

949
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 3: At the White opposition.

950
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,959
Speaker 1: No notable changes tight ends, no notable changes running back though,

951
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 1: Cam Scatapo's landing spot, and I liked this pick. I

952
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:50,080
Speaker 1: feel like he was an ideal pairing to go with

953
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: Tyrone Tracy because Tracy converted wide receiver, not a great

954
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,760
Speaker 1: inside runner, not somebody you'd want to you feel comfortable

955
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 1: giving the ball to at third.

956
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 3: Down and two at the goal line.

957
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: Scatabo, though, he's just he's going to bring the boom

958
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 1: to that offense that Tracy just can't. I love how

959
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: he is just out there looking for contact. He's trying

960
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,920
Speaker 1: to find defenders he can mow down, and you just

961
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: don't see many players like that. And Scatabo is gonna

962
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: get the goal line work that's going to eat into

963
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 1: Tracy's upside. I'm down on Tracy. I've taken him in

964
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: zero best ball drafts so far, and Scatterball, on the

965
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,279
Speaker 1: other hand, there's gonna be games or he's gonna get

966
00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,239
Speaker 1: a couple of a couple of rushing touchdowns.

967
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:38,120
Speaker 3: He's gonna be all those guys.

968
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna have like six carries for four yards and

969
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in some games. Now, Scatabo is slow, he's short,

970
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,280
Speaker 1: and he's twenty three years old, which for your dynasty

971
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 1: players is pretty old for rookie. I don't think you're

972
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,720
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of explosive plays at the NFL level.

973
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 1: But he's gonna break some tackles and he's going to

974
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: get you some touchdowns. And I don't think Devin Singletary's

975
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: going to make the team. We'll see maybe as a

976
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 1: third running back.

977
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 4: He was he was not too bad. He's kind of

978
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 4: the same deal as that he's He shouldn't be a

979
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,840
Speaker 4: lead back and you know, Tyrone Tracy was better suited

980
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 4: for that last year. But camp Scattabo is a great

981
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 4: addition to this running back room if you are going

982
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 4: to go platoon style. And you know who he kind

983
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,799
Speaker 4: of reminded me of was a modern day version of

984
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 4: Mike Alstadt.

985
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I said.

986
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 4: Too short, Mike Alstott. He's really fun to watch. I

987
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 4: hope that they use him a decent amount this year,

988
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 4: at least for our viewership sake.

989
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 1: Thor comped him to David Montgomery, and I begged him

990
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: to comp him doll Stott.

991
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 3: He wouldn't do it. He could knock it off, he

992
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 3: would not. He would not let me influence him that way.

993
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: He kept his comp to Montgomery. But I just I

994
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 1: see small all stop written all over him. Giants will

995
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 1: be better this year thanks to the upgraded quarterback. Right,

996
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: So no longer do we have to see Tommy DeVito

997
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: and Drew Locke and Daniel Jones. We're going to see

998
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:57,959
Speaker 1: We'll see Russell Wilson probably most of all of the year,

999
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: maybe a little dash of Jameis Wins and in there

1000
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 1: if it's something goes wrong with Wilson again. Hope we

1001
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 1: hopefully we do not end up seeing Jackson Dart. Well

1002
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: done Thor not Thor.

1003
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,319
Speaker 4: Oh well, I know you've been hanging out with Thor

1004
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 4: a lot, But it's.

1005
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 3: Been a lot of Thor, a lot of Thorp, you

1006
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 3: know what I mean?

1007
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 4: And for good reason. He is his second to none

1008
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 4: when it comes to just spitting out information on any

1009
00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:26,839
Speaker 4: human player prospect team. He's got it all, man.

1010
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 3: He does have it all.

1011
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: Sorry about that, and you know you both have got

1012
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:31,800
Speaker 1: your you have a much.

1013
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 3: Fuller, more manly beard though.

1014
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,279
Speaker 1: Oh I think you know listeners can't necessarily tell that,

1015
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: but I think it's I think it just goes without saying.

1016
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.

1017
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, really really lustrous. I'm very impressed.

1018
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,839
Speaker 1: Ken'd yes, and I don't. I think you're not back

1019
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 1: next week. I believe somebody else is handling. I believe

1020
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: we're going to the AFC and NFC North, and I

1021
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: don't believe you're on the docket next week.

1022
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 4: Well, I hate to ruin your day here, charge, but

1023
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 4: you got me for one more week and then I

1024
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 4: think we're cycling back to matt after that week. So

1025
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 4: all right, we're gonna talk AC, NFC North, excuse me

1026
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:06,919
Speaker 4: South next week?

1027
00:51:07,120 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 3: Is it South?

1028
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: Yep, Okay, we'll do the fine, We'll do the South

1029
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: next week. The scott Fish needs to make an appearance

1030
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 1: some point.

1031
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 2: Now.

1032
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 4: I've heard he's pretty busy with all his various pots

1033
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 4: that he sticks his fingers into it.

1034
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: He's a pretty busy guy. Yeah, you know, I got

1035
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: plenty going on. I'm in the middle of moving. I mean,

1036
00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: I've got a lot going on. You know, I make

1037
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: time for the show. We got we gotta get fit.

1038
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: We need to get fish out here on one of

1039
00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: these shows. I'm worried it's going to be like August

1040
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 1: or something before it gets out here, because we're going

1041
00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: to turn into Scott fish Pull season. That's right around

1042
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: the corner.

1043
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 4: Oh, it's coming up fast, I know, I know.

1044
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 3: Great job, Kent. We will talk to you next week.

1045
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 4: All right, it sounds great. Excited to break down some

1046
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 4: more divisions.

1047
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 3: See you. Let everybody bye bye,
