<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of iHeartRadio.

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:14.760
<v Speaker 2>source for the nation's best fantasy football advice, speculation, and

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 2>whatever stupid stuff they decide to drop into the show. Now,

0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:19.960
<v Speaker 2>here's your host, Paul Chargian.

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I am Paul Chargian, joining me like last week, Kent,

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>Why Rock?

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 4>Hey Ken, Hey Paul, how are we doing? Glad to

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 4>be back. A shorter off season for me this time,

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.639
<v Speaker 4>just one week as opposed to one year. But I'm

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 4>glad to be back.

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>And how about you going to bat for Derek Carr

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:45.040
<v Speaker 1>in the podcast? And about the time I'm posting the podcast,

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>he decides to hang it up.

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:50.319
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, that's so tricky. And now, looking at

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.920
<v Speaker 4>that situation that the Saints have left behind in terms

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 4>of the quarterback groom, that's truly missed a fine. I

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.200
<v Speaker 4>guess they're going to lean into Tyler Shuck and see

0:00:58.200 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 4>what happens.

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Seems that way, he doesn't it because they got long

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 1>looks at Hainer and Rattler last year and I just

0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:09.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think they got it now. Granted that was behind

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>a bad offensive line. That would have been tough on anybody,

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:17.920
<v Speaker 1>including Derek Carr as it turned out. But still you

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>get the feeling by the way Derek Carr just did

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:23.160
<v Speaker 1>not want to play football for the Saints anymore.

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, he had been through a little bit of the

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 4>ringer in terms of how he's been treated by you know,

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.679
<v Speaker 4>the different managements over the years and things like that,

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 4>and how he gets respected from a media standpoint too.

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.680
<v Speaker 4>I think he's been dealt with in a lot of

0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 4>different ways where people are you know, he had his

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:40.679
<v Speaker 4>high year and then after that it kind of never

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.280
<v Speaker 4>really got back to that ceiling, and I think a

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 4>lot of people held it against him, But I don't

0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:46.760
<v Speaker 4>think that was deserved. I think he was a solid player.

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:48.800
<v Speaker 4>He had a really good career and it's unfortunate that,

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, the medical stuff is making him hanging up

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 4>a little early.

0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 3>How much money would you guess he's made?

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 4>Ooh, I probably should know that off tom My head.

0:01:56.720 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 4>But I'm sure it's plenty. Yeah, it is plenty.

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>But I I'm challenging you to take a stab at

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>how much money Derek Carr has made in his career.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 4>Let's see back of the Napkin math he was in

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:16.200
<v Speaker 4>the league for about ten years. Let's say he made

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 4>it to two hundred and twenty million.

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're very very close. Two million. Yeah, well done.

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Well and you know he would have probably I think

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>he played everything out. He'd gone a little over the

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:29.120
<v Speaker 1>two twenties. So yeah, nicely done, ken, nicely done. Not

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:35.240
<v Speaker 1>a bad not a bad earning for a guy who Boy,

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.320
<v Speaker 1>how many playoff wins for Derek Carr? That'll be that'll

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>be your next question, and I'm gonna look it up

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>while you're looking. Derek Carr playoff wins?

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:48.679
<v Speaker 4>Oh my goodness, I my brain jumps to a very

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 4>low number. Maybe zero. Is it more than zero?

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 3>Well, let's see playoffs.

0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>He had done don don one playoff start and it

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.240
<v Speaker 1>was a loss. Okay, zero was the correct answer. He

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>lost to the Bengals in twenty twenty two.

0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 3>That's it. So that is it. Yeah, a two.

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Hundred million dollars and zero playoff wins for Derek Carr.

0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:21.799
<v Speaker 4>There's more than one way to earn a living, and

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 4>he found a very lucrative one.

0:03:23.800 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 3>So yes, he did, Yes, he did. Lucrative.

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 1>Today, the amount of knowledge, the depth and value of knowledge,

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna get as we go through the AFC and

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>NFC East, highlighting the off season changes for each team

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>and whether or not we think these changes will be

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>a net upgrade or down grade for each team. And

0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>so we're gonna we'll look at free agency, We'll look

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>at trades, we will look at the draft, rolled together

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>all the new.

0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 3>Things that have happened.

0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Now that lineups are effectively set heading into training camp

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>which arts and now only a little over a month

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>or we're really getting close, now, Kent, let's begin the

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 1>AFC side. I don't know why we always work right

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>to left, east to west. Is because the sun rises

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>in the east. You know, everybody always starts with the

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>AFC East or the NFC East, and they sort of

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 1>worked their way across the country like time zones. But

0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>we read left to right. You can make a case

0:04:26.760 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>that we should be starting with the west, but nobody

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>ever does. We always start with the east, and I'm

0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>not I don't know if there's any rhyme or reason

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.000
<v Speaker 1>for that, but that's how it's gonna work here too.

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:40.000
<v Speaker 1>And let's begin with the Miami Dolphins. Kent, this I

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of skepticism about and where was this

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 1>last year. I have a lot of skepticism about this offense,

0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>but maybe things were so bad last year you.

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:51.279
<v Speaker 3>Feel like, in totality it's going to be better this year.

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. I mean, they pretty much for the talent that

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 4>they had on the roster bottomed out. I would say, uh,

0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.840
<v Speaker 4>you know, the head we talked about this last week,

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 4>struggling offensive line. Now they've had Tarren Armstead retire. They

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.359
<v Speaker 4>signed James Daniels as a replacement, which I think is

0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 4>good but not going to fill the gap entirely, and

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.559
<v Speaker 4>they haven't done much else other than draft a second

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 4>rounder guard to help accommodate for that. I don't see

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.160
<v Speaker 4>that being in net plus in terms of last year

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 4>to this year. So I would wager that their offensive

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 4>line ends up in a worse overall situation. And you know,

0:05:25.400 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 4>that's kind of the starting point. When you're looking at

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 4>both passing and rushing. It's all comes down to how

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 4>your offensive line can either buy your quarterback time or

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:35.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, help the running back open them holes, get

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 4>more yards before contact, stuff like that. So the name

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.919
<v Speaker 4>of the game in terms of what happened to the

0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.279
<v Speaker 4>Dolphins last year and how they could improve this year

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 4>based on the personnel they have a lot of the

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:49.840
<v Speaker 4>offensive personnel that's coming back is very similar. You still

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 4>have Tu at the helm, you have Tyreek Kill Jalen

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 4>Waddle as your main two pass catchers, You have John

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 4>hu Smith as your tight end, and then your lead

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.279
<v Speaker 4>running back is going to be Devani. So that structure

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 4>is coming back, and besides the slight changing offensive line,

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.760
<v Speaker 4>over all, the offense looks very similar. Some tertiary options

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 4>that have been added. They've improved their backup quarterback situation,

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.560
<v Speaker 4>which I would say kind of matters considering Sua had

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 4>his own fair share of you know, more concussions last year.

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:19.240
<v Speaker 4>I think it was.

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, But did they improve their backup quarterback situation now

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 1>Zach Wilson and Quinn Yours.

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:31.239
<v Speaker 4>That's fair. I think that Zach Wilson is a good backup.

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:33.120
<v Speaker 4>I don't think he was a good starter. I think

0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 4>he's a good backup, but better than you know. They

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.799
<v Speaker 4>had Tyler Huntley, Skyler Thompson, Tim Boyle all made starts

0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 4>last year or had playtime, so it truly was a

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 4>train wreck in terms of their backup quarterback situation. I

0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 4>think it's an improvement. Quin Yours you know, drafted in

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 4>the seventh round, doesn't have a lot of capital behind him.

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 4>They didn't invest a lot. But in terms of a

0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 4>third person, I think it's a good kind of upside play.

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 4>Maybe there's something they can turn them into, but it'd

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:02.320
<v Speaker 4>be a really long shot situation. But you know, like

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:04.480
<v Speaker 4>I said, I think having Zach Wilson there is better

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 4>for the overall sake of the offense. But both Tyreek

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 4>Kill and Jalen Waddle had their fair share of struggles

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.360
<v Speaker 4>and injuries last year. You know, Tyreek Hill's a year older.

0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 4>But in terms of some backup wide receiver options on

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.160
<v Speaker 4>this team, they signed Nick Westbrook of Kinney UH and

0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 4>Dwaynette Eskridge, which again I think our role players at best. Yeah,

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.640
<v Speaker 4>nothing really that's going to move the needle in terms

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 4>of the overall offense, but might be a slight bit

0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:34.720
<v Speaker 4>of help at best. You know, it's unfortunate last year

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.560
<v Speaker 4>Jalen Waddle, he truly disappeared. And the silver lining I

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.240
<v Speaker 4>would say is that he was actually fine when Tua

0:07:41.480 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 4>was healthy and when turned Armstead was healthy and the

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:46.760
<v Speaker 4>entire offense was on the field, then then things were

0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 4>starting to shape up. But you know, in terms of

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.840
<v Speaker 4>any kind of personnel changes that are going to open

0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 4>things up for him, I really don't see a lot

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 4>going on there.

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this, if you believe, you know,

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>we saw real signs of decline from Tyreek Hill last year,

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean eye test metrically, and he's thirty one years old.

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 3>Is there a scenario.

0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Where you could justify suggesting it's a torch passing year

0:08:14.880 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>from Tyreek Hills the number one wide receiver to Jalen

0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Waddle this season.

0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 3>Sure.

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.640
<v Speaker 4>Absolutely, And that's even if they're both on a team.

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 4>And I also think it's a very high likelihood or

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.880
<v Speaker 4>relatively high likelihood, that he's still a trade candidate. I mean,

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.680
<v Speaker 4>there's all this discussion this offseason, maybe leading up to

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:33.960
<v Speaker 4>the draft they were looking to move him for some capital.

0:08:34.240 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 4>It never came to fruition, but you know that that

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 4>tension is still in the air. And I think that

0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 4>if the Dolphins are interested in kind of opening up

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.719
<v Speaker 4>their options post Tyreek Hill, this is where they need

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 4>to look. And he still has some value. You know,

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 4>he could be a great receiver for another team. He

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:53.559
<v Speaker 4>could be a great receiver for this team. I mean

0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 4>he could instantly turn it back on as well. But

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 4>Jalen Waddle has the potential to step up and be

0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.000
<v Speaker 4>the number one in this offense. I don't think he's

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 4>like a quintessential true wide receiver one, But agreed, I

0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 4>think that these two intan and worked very well. And

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:11.800
<v Speaker 4>if you're moving Tyreek Hill, you know, there's always potential

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 4>to get another player coming back to that, you know,

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 4>if you want to balance things out. But the way

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.760
<v Speaker 4>the current state of the receivers are after Jalen Waddle,

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 4>I would not recommend unless the season is truly lost,

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:27.920
<v Speaker 4>somewhere around week seven, eight nine range, you know, before

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.719
<v Speaker 4>the trade deadline, obviously, to move Tyreek Hill and then

0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:32.840
<v Speaker 4>have Waddle finish out the years to one.

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>At the running back position, Devine eh Chan was the

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>do everything guy last year. Caught a ton of passes.

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I think he ran gallantly behind a bad offensive line,

0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and he stayed healthy, which you know, going into the

0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>season that was all the talk about e Chan was

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Kenny possibly played play seventeen games, and he did. Then

0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 1>it goes to Jalen Wright, and then it goes to

0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.199
<v Speaker 1>two guys who I don't even know they're going to

0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>make the team Ollie Gordon, who I dislike as a rookie,

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>and then Alexander Madison, who I love is human being,

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>but do not think that he's a requisitive of an

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:07.880
<v Speaker 1>NFL runner anymore. So, if if you want to if

0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>unless they're going to have to run a cham just

0:10:11.000 --> 0:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>as much this year, which I don't think they want

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to do. They had to do it last year, Jalen

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Wattle gets to be a kind of an interesting late

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:19.920
<v Speaker 1>round drafted dart throat to me.

0:10:21.280 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I think that's true. They had some struggles running

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 4>the ball last year for sure, and you know, well

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.559
<v Speaker 4>Hm was the lead back and was taking the majority

0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 4>of the work. I don't think there's any other running

0:10:33.280 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 4>back on this team that could step up to take

0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.120
<v Speaker 4>work to improve the overall situation. So you know, like

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 4>Jalen Wright, he's probably the handcuff here because he's just

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 4>been in the office for the offense for an extra year,

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.760
<v Speaker 4>whereas you know, Madison and Gordon both need to be

0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:50.240
<v Speaker 4>ramped up a little bit. So yeah, this could be

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.480
<v Speaker 4>a bit more of a passing team. I mean, even

0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:56.079
<v Speaker 4>Hm himself can be a pass catching back. So if

0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:58.760
<v Speaker 4>they're not going to try to just you know, run

0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 4>smash mouth football, which no one expects them to. But

0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 4>they're certainly gonna lean into their pass options, which you know, again,

0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 4>you need to stay healthy and you need that offensive

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.880
<v Speaker 4>line to outperform our current expectations.

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 3>I think I called Jalen right, Jalen Waddle.

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.520
<v Speaker 4>Nice of you not to Oh yeah, okay, I actually

0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 4>wasn't sure, but I think yeah, I think both were.

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:20.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're gonna why not.

0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:23.440
<v Speaker 1>They're the ones who put two Jalen W's on their

0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>own team.

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 3>So look, this is undemb not me. Uh.

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Overall, is this Miami offense going to be better or

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:32.160
<v Speaker 1>worse than last year?

0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.360
<v Speaker 4>It's again, I think it comes down to health. I

0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 4>said worse by stagnation. I don't think they're really doing

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.280
<v Speaker 4>anything to help out their offense. I think that the

0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 4>changes that they made on the offensive line were valiant

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:49.679
<v Speaker 4>but falling short, and so I'm going with worse. If

0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.360
<v Speaker 4>they stay healthy. You know, Mike McDaniel, he's offensive guru.

0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 4>He can pull it together and make it work again.

0:11:56.040 --> 0:12:00.240
<v Speaker 4>And maybe there's an upside case, but I think just

0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 4>looking at personnel changes, it's worse.

0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 3>Let's go over to the Buffalo Bills.

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>The big change for Buffalo is in the wide receiver room.

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:13.240
<v Speaker 1>Amari Cooper free agent right now today. Nobody wants him.

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Everybody assumes he's cooked at this point. Khalil Shakir got

0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:20.440
<v Speaker 1>a four year, fifty million dollar extension. I love it.

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:26.319
<v Speaker 1>He drastically improved last year, doubled his production from the

0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:26.880
<v Speaker 1>year prior.

0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:28.560
<v Speaker 3>A lot of it was.

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Shorter passes, some which he turned into big plays. He

0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 1>led all full time receivers in yards after catch last year,

0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.680
<v Speaker 1>right around eight yards per catch. He was top twenty

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and target rate among all wide receivers. But where Khalil

0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Shakir was not able to help us last year and

0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>this might not change, is they just don't throw to

0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>him anywhere near the the end zone.

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 3>He had a ten percent end zone rate. That's it.

0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Target rate, that's it. And so I think he had three,

0:12:58.760 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe four touchdowns last year.

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's caps.

0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>The upside for Khalil Shakir. I love everything else about

0:13:05.360 --> 0:13:08.360
<v Speaker 1>his game. They brought in those journeymen that I honestly

0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:12.679
<v Speaker 1>don't care about, Josh Palmer, Elijah Moore, levishkas Chanot.

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Ken Coleman returns year two.

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually pretty optimistic about a breakout in his sophomore year.

0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:22.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, he missed a month of development time last

0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>year with that risk injury Kent, and then he got

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:26.839
<v Speaker 1>saddled with a part time role because they had brought

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.319
<v Speaker 1>in guys like Amari Cooper that they were filtering in.

0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:32.960
<v Speaker 1>And I want to believe Coleman is sitting on a

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:37.520
<v Speaker 1>much better year in year two, and he's got Fantasy

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Football's number one quarterback in ADP throwing to him. I like,

0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:45.439
<v Speaker 1>Keyan Coleman is as a dart throw that you can

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:47.800
<v Speaker 1>pick up in eleventh round of your league. What do

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>you what do you think about Kean Coleman.

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.680
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean they drafted him as a traits guy,

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 4>and I know that his production didn't quite match his traits,

0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 4>but you know, he needed probably a year or two

0:13:56.840 --> 0:13:59.000
<v Speaker 4>to truly break out in the way that we're used

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.640
<v Speaker 4>to in a fantasy landscape. And you know, he doesn't

0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:03.679
<v Speaker 4>have the pressure of being the number one guy. This

0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.920
<v Speaker 4>is a platoon receiving court. We kind of touched on

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.120
<v Speaker 4>that last week as well, So you know, Sekuur, even

0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:11.599
<v Speaker 4>Elijah Moore, Joshua Palmer, they're all going to play a

0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 4>little bit. So kenk Colon shouldn't have any pressure on

0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 4>himself to be going out and taking the game into

0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 4>his own hands. Typically it's Josh Allen doing all that,

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 4>and he's really good at that. So they're gonna spread around.

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Kean Coleman's gonna get his fair share if they need

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 4>a big body in the end zone. Coleman's a dude

0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:30.560
<v Speaker 4>who should have an uptick in touchdown potential this year.

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I would think the running back room basically unchanged. Offensive

0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>line also basically unchanged for Buffalo. The at the tight

0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 1>end position, You'd like to believe this is the year

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:48.440
<v Speaker 1>that Dalton Kincaid really exerts himself over Dawson Knox. We

0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 1>saw signs of that at the end of his rookie year,

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and then last year was an almost even time split

0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 1>between those two, which frustrated a lot of fantasy owners,

0:14:56.120 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 1>including me. So I gotta believe that Kencaid's going to

0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:08.160
<v Speaker 1>have more opportunities to distance himself from Dawson Knox. In totality,

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I think this Bill's offense is slightly better just because

0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.440
<v Speaker 1>I think Keyon Coleman gets a little better. Ray Davis

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>could have a bigger role now as a sophomore and

0:15:20.200 --> 0:15:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Dalton Kincaid could have a bigger role and could be

0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>better in year number three. So we'll go slightly better

0:15:25.600 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>for the Bills. Let's head over the Jets, Kent. We've

0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>got a whole new coaching staff to talk about.

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Robert sala is out and we're bringing in Aaron Glenn,

0:15:35.120 --> 0:15:38.600
<v Speaker 4>the former defensive coordinator from the Lions, who is also

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 4>bringing along with him Tanner Engstround excuse me, Engstrand, and

0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 4>he was the pass game coordinator for the Lions. So

0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.040
<v Speaker 4>if we're looking to, you know, kind of the focus,

0:15:48.280 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 4>there's definitely a defensive head coach is something that's I

0:15:51.520 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 4>would say a concern for most fantasy players, whether justified

0:15:55.840 --> 0:15:58.400
<v Speaker 4>or not. But this is a first time offensive coordinator

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:01.960
<v Speaker 4>and that's going to be interesting to watch. It's you know,

0:16:02.000 --> 0:16:03.640
<v Speaker 4>we'll get into it here. But a personnel that I

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 4>think has gotten overall worse. They've made some improvements and

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:10.160
<v Speaker 4>we'll talk about him here. So the offensive line, you know,

0:16:10.200 --> 0:16:12.680
<v Speaker 4>they now they've gone back to back years drafting first

0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.400
<v Speaker 4>round offensive tackles Olufashawanda last year, our Man Membu this year.

0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.400
<v Speaker 4>They have their full interior coming back and they all

0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:23.120
<v Speaker 4>posted really good PFF blocking grades last season, So I

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:27.640
<v Speaker 4>think we have an improved offensive line situation. Unfortunately, I

0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 4>think that's probably the only part where they've made improvements.

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, Aaron Rodgers has gone. Justin Fields signed a

0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.520
<v Speaker 4>two year, forty million dollar contract, and you know, last

0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.840
<v Speaker 4>season he got replaced by Russell Wilson up in Pittsburgh.

0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 4>It was a very interesting situation. I think a lot

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 4>of people kind of wanted to see Justin Fields keep going.

0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 4>He started the first six games of the year last

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.680
<v Speaker 4>year for the Steelers and he was QB six during

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.200
<v Speaker 4>those weeks. I mean, he was performing in terms of fantasy,

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 4>it was just kind of the more NFL side that

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.240
<v Speaker 4>people had questions about his ability to win games. So,

0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, that's a downgrade in terms of the quarterback.

0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 4>On the receiver side of things, obviously, Devon Adams is

0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 4>gone at him for eleven games last year after the trade,

0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:11.120
<v Speaker 4>and now he's off gallivanting around on a new team.

0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 3>So when you when when you go to LA do

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:16.280
<v Speaker 3>you get to gallivant?

0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:20.920
<v Speaker 4>Well, yeah, they do their fair share of gallivanting, and

0:17:21.040 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 4>well if you do, if you do.

0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.200
<v Speaker 3>If you go to any p Diddy's parties.

0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, they're gonna be Yeah, you'll do a lot

0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:28.120
<v Speaker 1>of gallivanting.

0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:30.320
<v Speaker 4>Let's hope that Adams didn't go to any of those.

0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.720
<v Speaker 4>But uh, I digress. But Garrett Wilson is, you know,

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 4>still the you know, left as the number one here again.

0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:38.800
<v Speaker 4>And you know last year he was he was solid.

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 4>One hundred fifty four targets, eleven hundred receiving yards, seven touchdowns.

0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:44.840
<v Speaker 4>That's fine. He hasn't quite lived up to his hype

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:46.480
<v Speaker 4>that he had after he went in the first round.

0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:48.640
<v Speaker 4>A lot of people were really high on him. Ohio

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:51.199
<v Speaker 4>State receivers, you know, they got this kind of monkey

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:52.879
<v Speaker 4>on their back they're still trying to get rid of.

0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.719
<v Speaker 4>But I saw a tweet recently, actually, I think that

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 4>is very telling us from Heath Cummings, who works for

0:17:59.800 --> 0:18:03.240
<v Speaker 4>US Fantasy. Sometimes you know the answer before you even

0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 4>asked the question. Two receivers have seen at least four

0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.320
<v Speaker 4>hundred targets in their first three seasons and have averaged

0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:11.920
<v Speaker 4>less than seven yards per target. The first, Deontay Johnson,

0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.439
<v Speaker 4>who as we know, has been kind of dealing with

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.400
<v Speaker 4>his own issues, can't seem to land on a team

0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.639
<v Speaker 4>and establish a role anymore. And then the other is

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Garret Wilson.

0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 3>So not but those guys are nothing alike. You know,

0:18:22.760 --> 0:18:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I swear Gara Wilson is actually good.

0:18:26.400 --> 0:18:28.919
<v Speaker 4>He is, and I think you know Deontay Johnson. I

0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:31.240
<v Speaker 4>won't go too deep into him, but he was always

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.119
<v Speaker 4>a volume guy. I think that's where most of his

0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:36.360
<v Speaker 4>fantasy affinity came from. And Garret Wilson is a lot

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.159
<v Speaker 4>more dynamic after the catch and everything. So you're totally

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 4>right there. I just it's it's again another sign he's

0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 4>just not quite what we've been what we wanted from him, and.

0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 1>We're quarterbacks, or as quarterbacks for Garrett Wilson, have not

0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:55.880
<v Speaker 1>been what we wanted. Aaron Rodgers threw his arm out

0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:58.800
<v Speaker 1>of socket last year, all of it to DeVante Adams.

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yeah, And you know, Garrett Wilson was the second

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:04.560
<v Speaker 4>fiddle there and now he's back to being first fiddle.

0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.560
<v Speaker 4>But who's going to be second fiddled this year is

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 4>the question. You know, we have Al Lazard left over

0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:12.640
<v Speaker 4>from the Rogers recruitment campaign. He was a ghost without

0:19:12.680 --> 0:19:15.840
<v Speaker 4>Rodgers in twenty three, so I'm not seeing Lazard stepping

0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:18.560
<v Speaker 4>up this year. Josh Reynold was acquired for pennies on

0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:21.680
<v Speaker 4>the dollar and free agency. They have Malchi Corley, who

0:19:21.840 --> 0:19:24.840
<v Speaker 4>he saw six targets in twenty twenty four, and you know,

0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:26.800
<v Speaker 4>he was more of a gadget kind of guy coming

0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.879
<v Speaker 4>out a lot a lot of usage in the screen

0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:30.639
<v Speaker 4>game and stuff like that. But they didn't even try

0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:32.800
<v Speaker 4>to get the ball in his hands last year. So

0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.639
<v Speaker 4>if there's a breakout coming, I don't think many people

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:39.520
<v Speaker 4>see it. And I don't know of this particular group

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:41.080
<v Speaker 4>who's going to be wide receiver too. Do you have

0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 4>any guesses.

0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:48.720
<v Speaker 1>Out of those guys. I mean, if you make me

0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:51.639
<v Speaker 1>pick somebody, I can't take Corley. He's just he's just

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>not built to be at number two. I'll take Thizard

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:54.879
<v Speaker 1>and just yuck.

0:19:55.800 --> 0:20:00.600
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, Yeah, it's gross. And I think that's also a

0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.760
<v Speaker 4>worrying sign for Gear Wilson, as he'll probably see more

0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:08.119
<v Speaker 4>bracket coverage and stuff like that. So you know, if

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 4>we switch up and talk about their running game a

0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:13.000
<v Speaker 4>little bit, they're bringing back their same platoon from last year,

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.919
<v Speaker 4>Brailn Allen, Isaiah Davis, the same guys, and you know,

0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 4>it's Breese Hall's back field for now, and I think

0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:25.800
<v Speaker 4>that he has a tenuous grasp on the backfield. As

0:20:25.880 --> 0:20:28.600
<v Speaker 4>things stand, he had some home run hits, but when

0:20:28.600 --> 0:20:30.680
<v Speaker 4>he's not hitting the home runs, he's striking out a lot,

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:33.600
<v Speaker 4>and that's really tough to see, you know. Braylen Allen,

0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.240
<v Speaker 4>they tried to get him involved and he was kind

0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.720
<v Speaker 4>of ho hum, a little bit of a plotter at times.

0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Isaiah Davis I think had the most juice. He had

0:20:40.320 --> 0:20:42.679
<v Speaker 4>five point eight yards per carry. He was plus one

0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 4>point four rushing yards over expectation per attempt, and all

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.119
<v Speaker 4>that was week fourteen and beyond, So they were getting

0:20:50.160 --> 0:20:52.840
<v Speaker 4>involved late in the year. If you're gonna see any

0:20:52.920 --> 0:20:55.320
<v Speaker 4>kind of transition out of this backfield, I think Davis

0:20:55.359 --> 0:20:58.520
<v Speaker 4>has the chance to leap frog Braylan Allen. And you know,

0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:02.880
<v Speaker 4>if Breesol can't find a rhythm, there could be potential

0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.400
<v Speaker 4>that they start either going full balanced a third apiece,

0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:08.560
<v Speaker 4>or they give Davis a little bit more of the

0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:09.479
<v Speaker 4>carries down the stretch.

0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:10.640
<v Speaker 3>I disliked.

0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I dislike Davis until the very end of the year,

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and I was really disappointed in what we saw for

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the most part, given how much optimism we had when

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:21.960
<v Speaker 1>he came into the league. But he started to show

0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:23.520
<v Speaker 1>signs at the end of the year. But I am

0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.240
<v Speaker 1>not ready to talk about Breeze Hall losing his job.

0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm not ready to go there. You are on an

0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:30.359
<v Speaker 1>island as far as I'm concerned, gone that cat.

0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:32.840
<v Speaker 4>I yeah, And that's we're talking like a five to

0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.720
<v Speaker 4>ten percent scenario here. But in terms of, you know,

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 4>we're bringing back the same guys, what changes could there be?

0:21:38.840 --> 0:21:41.159
<v Speaker 4>That's the only one I could see a path for.

0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 4>That's kind of the way I'm putting.

0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:46.640
<v Speaker 1>It, all right, So in totality, Jets over, are they

0:21:46.680 --> 0:21:49.040
<v Speaker 1>better or are they worse this coming year?

0:21:49.280 --> 0:21:52.399
<v Speaker 4>It's definitely worse. And the only way that they're gonna

0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 4>have a better outcome is if they have some miracle

0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:59.800
<v Speaker 4>comeback season from Justin Fields as a passer, I don't.

0:21:59.880 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't see that as likely. So I'm just going

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 4>straight up worse.

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Okay, let's go to the Patriots, where everything is new,

0:22:06.640 --> 0:22:09.440
<v Speaker 1>new head coach, new offensive coordinator, but names you already

0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:12.880
<v Speaker 1>know offensive coordinator or new coaches Mike Rabel, your offensive

0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:17.359
<v Speaker 1>coordinator is Josh McDaniels. There's you know, we've seen the

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 1>good and bad of Josh McDaniels offenses. More bad than good,

0:22:21.960 --> 0:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>and that part worries me when he hasn't ed Tom Brady,

0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Josh McDaniels hasn't hasn't shown himself to be a terribly

0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.640
<v Speaker 1>effective offensive coordinator. I think this team will be run heavy,

0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:34.720
<v Speaker 1>like most people believe Mike Rabel Now, granted he had

0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Derek Henry, but he ran the ball like crazy in Tennessee.

0:22:39.000 --> 0:22:41.760
<v Speaker 1>We presume that's going to be that the Patriots will

0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:45.600
<v Speaker 1>be focused that way this year, and that's probably why

0:22:45.640 --> 0:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>they added Traveon Henderson in round number two. Now, Ramondre

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Stevenson remains the presumed starter, at least at the beginning

0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:55.720
<v Speaker 1>of the year, because he has got all the you know,

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 1>all the history and everything else that you get with

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:01.760
<v Speaker 1>with the starters, but with the veteran But sometimes you

0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:03.360
<v Speaker 1>bring in a whole new coaching staff, they don't care,

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:04.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, like you know Ramondre.

0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:07.720
<v Speaker 3>They have no history with Ramondre. Maybe they won't care.

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:11.639
<v Speaker 1>I do like Ramondre, and I still think he starts

0:23:11.680 --> 0:23:14.119
<v Speaker 1>the season, but I do worry about Henderson at some

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:17.600
<v Speaker 1>point that this either goes platoon or Henderson.

0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:18.719
<v Speaker 3>Just beats him out at some point.

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:23.400
<v Speaker 1>I always feel like Ramandre Kent runs hard, He does

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:26.639
<v Speaker 1>what he can behind a terrible offensive line, which is

0:23:26.720 --> 0:23:30.320
<v Speaker 1>most of what he's had for his entire career. A reminder,

0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:33.000
<v Speaker 1>when Mike Rabel was the head coach of the Titans,

0:23:33.520 --> 0:23:37.680
<v Speaker 1>they ran the second most running plays. Only Baltimore ran more,

0:23:37.720 --> 0:23:41.600
<v Speaker 1>and they had Lamar Jackson. So this is gonna this

0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:45.560
<v Speaker 1>should be plenty of running plays coming in this new offense.

0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:47.240
<v Speaker 1>And then the offensive line got better. They got three

0:23:47.240 --> 0:23:51.040
<v Speaker 1>new starters. They put the fourth overall pick into Will Campbell.

0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:55.719
<v Speaker 1>They added longtime Minnesota starting center Garrett Bradberry and then

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:59.720
<v Speaker 1>journeyman right tackle Morgan Moses as well. They're all upgrades

0:23:59.760 --> 0:24:02.560
<v Speaker 1>over what they had been trolling out on their offensive

0:24:02.560 --> 0:24:03.920
<v Speaker 1>line for the Patriots.

0:24:03.920 --> 0:24:05.040
<v Speaker 3>So kind of excited about that.

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:09.840
<v Speaker 1>The receiver situation did not get nearly the attention I

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 1>thought it would, And I'm really disappointed about this as

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>somebody who likes Drake may a lot Stefan Diggs, who

0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:18.520
<v Speaker 1>knows at his age what his ability will be like

0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:22.040
<v Speaker 1>to overcome an ACL. His availability for Week one is

0:24:22.240 --> 0:24:25.080
<v Speaker 1>very much up in the air. They brought in mac Hollins,

0:24:25.080 --> 0:24:28.080
<v Speaker 1>don't really care. They spent a third rounder on Kyle Williams.

0:24:28.200 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 1>And the thing is he looks like a project. He

0:24:30.640 --> 0:24:33.679
<v Speaker 1>did not wow anybody in college after his freshman season,

0:24:33.760 --> 0:24:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and he might have to you may have to learn

0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the slot in the NFL. It's just there's he doesn't

0:24:38.960 --> 0:24:41.320
<v Speaker 1>seem like he's ready to make an immediate impact. So

0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:45.359
<v Speaker 1>really bummed out about the offseason that the Patriots had

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to receive. And I understand ken they needed to fix

0:24:48.280 --> 0:24:53.119
<v Speaker 1>like everything except quarterback and you couldn't get to it all.

0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:56.440
<v Speaker 1>But man, I didn't love the moves that they ended

0:24:56.520 --> 0:24:58.679
<v Speaker 1>up making it receiver. Do you do you see the

0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:01.119
<v Speaker 1>receiver position for the Patriot it's any differently or more

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:02.280
<v Speaker 1>optimistically than I do?

0:25:04.240 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 4>No, I don't. I don't think Kyle Williams is going

0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:09.800
<v Speaker 4>to be a dynamic change, game changer to this receiving corps.

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:12.120
<v Speaker 4>One thing to note is that they do love using

0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:15.560
<v Speaker 4>two tight ends. Both Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper get

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:19.960
<v Speaker 4>involved pretty pretty commonly, so they're not going to rely

0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:22.399
<v Speaker 4>on the receivers in a very heavy way. And I think,

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:24.399
<v Speaker 4>you know, if they get digs back, this this is

0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:27.879
<v Speaker 4>overall a decent receiving corps, you know, And looking at

0:25:27.920 --> 0:25:29.879
<v Speaker 4>the draft, they spent their four first draft picks on

0:25:29.960 --> 0:25:34.760
<v Speaker 4>offensive positions, whether offensive line, receiver, running back. They really

0:25:34.800 --> 0:25:37.040
<v Speaker 4>wanted to make an effort to make things better for

0:25:37.119 --> 0:25:39.560
<v Speaker 4>Drake May. I don't think it was as good as

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 4>it could have been, but at least I'm seeing the

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:44.919
<v Speaker 4>effort and hopefully, you know, maybe we're a little bit

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 4>wrong about Kyle Williams. Maybe he can step up and

0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:50.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, be a larger role on this receiving corps.

0:25:50.440 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 4>But it's it's still falling short of what you would

0:25:55.600 --> 0:25:57.880
<v Speaker 4>hope to have in place for a guy like Drake May,

0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:01.000
<v Speaker 4>who has showed all the trades of I think a

0:26:01.280 --> 0:26:03.840
<v Speaker 4>really great quarterback, and you need to be able to

0:26:03.840 --> 0:26:05.679
<v Speaker 4>put the team around him to make it work.

0:26:06.280 --> 0:26:11.000
<v Speaker 1>The word I was using around Drake May is gallant.

0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:15.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he played gallantly while trying to overcome the

0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:18.800
<v Speaker 1>worst offensive line in football last year and the worst

0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:22.360
<v Speaker 1>set of receivers all on the same team, and he

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:25.200
<v Speaker 1>was still fantasy viable in part because of his running,

0:26:25.280 --> 0:26:28.000
<v Speaker 1>in part because he heaved up some bombs, because he

0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:31.199
<v Speaker 1>does have the big arm. I think he is he

0:26:31.280 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 1>is a candidate for a big jump this year if

0:26:35.480 --> 0:26:37.880
<v Speaker 1>he's not under constant duress and it turns out any

0:26:37.920 --> 0:26:41.680
<v Speaker 1>of his receivers can catch. We don't know that that's

0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the case yet, we'll find out. So overall, you know,

0:26:44.560 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>they finished thirtieth in points scored last year. They'll be

0:26:46.760 --> 0:26:48.879
<v Speaker 1>better than that this year. Just with the improvements on

0:26:48.920 --> 0:26:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line. Maybe Diggs will come back and be

0:26:51.880 --> 0:26:53.719
<v Speaker 1>a you know, if you can just be two thirds

0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:55.240
<v Speaker 1>of what he was a couple of years ago, that

0:26:55.240 --> 0:26:57.439
<v Speaker 1>would we would we'd be very very happy with that.

0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:00.119
<v Speaker 3>Can't. Let's take a break when we came back.

0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:04.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's turn our attention to the n f C and uh,

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:08.000
<v Speaker 1>let's uh, let's dive into those teams, including the Eagles.

0:27:08.160 --> 0:27:12.320
<v Speaker 3>We'll find out what changed, what is new in the

0:27:12.320 --> 0:27:15.080
<v Speaker 3>super Bowl city of Philadelphia when we come back.

0:27:27.480 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back, Segment number two Fantasy Football Weekly Paul Charchian

0:27:30.440 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 1>and kent Y Rock Kent. People can follow you on Twitter.

0:27:35.760 --> 0:27:37.920
<v Speaker 1>I do, but then they have to spell your name.

0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:42.199
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and it doesn't the same way it sounds. So

0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:45.400
<v Speaker 4>I'll go ahead and get other people out here. Yeah. Absolutely,

0:27:45.440 --> 0:27:47.880
<v Speaker 4>So it's uh kent k e n t y rock

0:27:48.080 --> 0:27:51.120
<v Speaker 4>w E y r a U c H and yes,

0:27:51.240 --> 0:27:52.400
<v Speaker 4>it's super German.

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:57.399
<v Speaker 1>It's super German. Some people would say all Germans are

0:27:57.400 --> 0:28:02.199
<v Speaker 1>super mm. That is not an easy one, and I'm not.

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.159
<v Speaker 1>Don't ask even I, who know you and have your

0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:07.400
<v Speaker 1>name frequently, full name right in front of me, even

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 1>I would struggle to nail that one down. That's in

0:28:10.640 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 1>many ways worse than charging in I always feel like

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:15.840
<v Speaker 1>with charging, if you if I gave you three cracks

0:28:15.880 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 1>at it, you'd probably get it.

0:28:18.880 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I rock, I would be like twenty.

0:28:22.080 --> 0:28:25.159
<v Speaker 4>And I've heard all twenty from various round half around

0:28:25.440 --> 0:28:27.840
<v Speaker 4>the block, So yeah, I've heard them all. I'm not

0:28:27.880 --> 0:28:30.160
<v Speaker 4>offended any way when it gets mispronounced.

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:32.280
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, you can't be you'd be a ball of

0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:35.280
<v Speaker 1>rage all the time. You absolutely can't do that. Let's

0:28:35.320 --> 0:28:37.680
<v Speaker 1>go to the NFC. Speaking of rage, that would be

0:28:37.720 --> 0:28:41.800
<v Speaker 1>your Philadelphia Eagle fans typically, but not this year, enjoying

0:28:41.880 --> 0:28:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the aura of a Super Bowl victory. They're second in

0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:50.440
<v Speaker 1>six years, I believe, So let's talk about Super Bowl champs.

0:28:50.680 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Not a lot of change here, but one of the

0:28:54.160 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>big changes was that offensive coordinator.

0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:59.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right,

0:28:59.320 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 4>And the Eagles have built up this roster, they've really

0:29:04.320 --> 0:29:06.680
<v Speaker 4>done an excellent job with their team building over the years.

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 4>But the new offensive coordinator situation is because Kellen Moore

0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:12.400
<v Speaker 4>left to take the Saints head coaching job, which is

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:14.680
<v Speaker 4>its own interesting storyline we'll get to when we get

0:29:14.680 --> 0:29:18.040
<v Speaker 4>to that division. But he's replaced by Kevin Patulo I

0:29:18.080 --> 0:29:21.040
<v Speaker 4>believe it's pronounced, and he's been the Eagles passing game

0:29:21.040 --> 0:29:24.880
<v Speaker 4>coordinator since twenty twenty one, so there's a lot of

0:29:24.920 --> 0:29:27.040
<v Speaker 4>familiarity here. I have a feeling this is not going

0:29:27.080 --> 0:29:29.560
<v Speaker 4>to be a major effect on the offense. A lot

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 4>of the same tendencies and styles are going to be

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 4>replicated from last year. So one thing that's really important

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:39.240
<v Speaker 4>to note, you know, talk about the Patriots drafting only

0:29:39.400 --> 0:29:42.680
<v Speaker 4>offensive players early in the draft. The Eagles didn't touch

0:29:42.800 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 4>offense until they got to round five, so they started defense, defense, defense.

0:29:47.280 --> 0:29:51.080
<v Speaker 4>They really put a heavy heavyweight on the defensive side

0:29:51.080 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 4>of the ball. And why not when your offense is

0:29:53.840 --> 0:29:57.080
<v Speaker 4>so good, your offensive line is still really great. You know,

0:29:57.120 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 4>it's mostly the same. They have a slight downgrade at

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:02.160
<v Speaker 4>right guard because as they lost Mecky mackay Becton to

0:30:02.960 --> 0:30:06.160
<v Speaker 4>UH and they downgraded to Tyler Steen, but he is

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:10.520
<v Speaker 4>their third rounder from the twenty twenty three NFL drafts.

0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:13.640
<v Speaker 4>So again, he's been in the building. This shouldn't be

0:30:13.680 --> 0:30:16.400
<v Speaker 4>a major downgrade. Could be an upgrade. We're not really sure.

0:30:16.440 --> 0:30:19.400
<v Speaker 4>We haven't seen a lot of him yet. But this

0:30:19.640 --> 0:30:22.160
<v Speaker 4>is the same offensive line that's been able to handle

0:30:22.240 --> 0:30:25.120
<v Speaker 4>the tush push, been able to handle you know, Saquon

0:30:25.200 --> 0:30:28.440
<v Speaker 4>Barkley breaking two thousand rushing yards. This is a great

0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:32.600
<v Speaker 4>offensive line. So how that applies to their passing game.

0:30:32.640 --> 0:30:35.600
<v Speaker 4>You know, they're bringing back with the core Jalen Hurts, A. J. Brown,

0:30:35.640 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 4>Devanna Smith, Dallas Godeer. They signed Terrace Marshall. Can you

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:43.320
<v Speaker 4>believe it? He was a raided year And I must

0:30:43.360 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 4>have deleted that from because exactly I didn't you know,

0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:50.120
<v Speaker 4>see him on the field whatsoever in any kind of

0:30:50.160 --> 0:30:52.880
<v Speaker 4>meaningful capacity. But you know one thing that they did

0:30:52.920 --> 0:30:55.200
<v Speaker 4>do is they brought on some tight ends. You know,

0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:58.160
<v Speaker 4>Dallas goder there's again they're talking about maybe trading him

0:30:58.640 --> 0:31:01.160
<v Speaker 4>very recently here, but they decided to rework his contract.

0:31:01.520 --> 0:31:03.480
<v Speaker 4>He took a little bit of a downgrade and pay,

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:06.680
<v Speaker 4>and they brought in k Kylin grantson from the Colts

0:31:06.720 --> 0:31:09.680
<v Speaker 4>and Harrison Bryant from the Raiders as well, So they've

0:31:09.680 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 4>got a little bit better of a tight end room.

0:31:11.880 --> 0:31:14.160
<v Speaker 4>I guess you could say behind him. You know, last

0:31:14.240 --> 0:31:18.200
<v Speaker 4>year he missed some time and uh Calcutta, what was

0:31:18.200 --> 0:31:20.840
<v Speaker 4>his first name? I don't even remember, Kata cal Katara,

0:31:20.920 --> 0:31:24.000
<v Speaker 4>the rant Calata Grant cal Katara was the backup and

0:31:24.040 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 4>he was just okay. So they needed some more depth

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:28.040
<v Speaker 4>at the tight end position. I think that's the main

0:31:28.080 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 4>reason they brought those guys in.

0:31:30.280 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Calcutt a clipper, Yes, cut a clipper. That's what we'll do.

0:31:34.760 --> 0:31:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:31:35.200 --> 0:31:37.120
<v Speaker 3>A J. Brown and DeVonta Smith remained great.

0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Funny John Dotson still on the team and you wouldn't

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:41.680
<v Speaker 1>even know it if you watched any of the games.

0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:45.520
<v Speaker 1>It's uh what you know, Howie Roseman's the best GM

0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 1>in football, one of the two best, probably the best.

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:52.720
<v Speaker 3>But wow did he got you know? I think it

0:31:52.800 --> 0:31:54.960
<v Speaker 3>was a fourth rounder that he gave up for Dotson

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:58.120
<v Speaker 3>and that was a that was bad. It was bad.

0:31:59.080 --> 0:32:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Jones, not to be outdone, gave up that fourth

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:04.120
<v Speaker 1>rounder for Jonathan Mingo.

0:32:04.320 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Those were goodness.

0:32:05.600 --> 0:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>All of those wide receiver trades that we had last year,

0:32:08.080 --> 0:32:11.320
<v Speaker 1>like none of them worked out. It's a it's a

0:32:11.360 --> 0:32:14.120
<v Speaker 1>tough position to just drop some somebody new into.

0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:15.680
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately, so with.

0:32:15.640 --> 0:32:19.400
<v Speaker 1>All everything else being so similar or well, I should

0:32:19.440 --> 0:32:23.160
<v Speaker 1>mention this, they lost Kenneth Gainwell, and to my eyes,

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:26.200
<v Speaker 1>Kenneth Gainwell was coming off his best year by mile.

0:32:26.320 --> 0:32:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought he looked really, really spry and efficient in

0:32:29.760 --> 0:32:32.360
<v Speaker 1>that offense in a way that he hadn't before. I

0:32:32.560 --> 0:32:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously I'm not trying to jinx anything about

0:32:35.680 --> 0:32:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Saquon Barkley, but I think they would miss having Gainwell

0:32:41.280 --> 0:32:42.880
<v Speaker 1>if anything were to happen to Barkley.

0:32:43.960 --> 0:32:45.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I could see that.

0:32:45.360 --> 0:32:45.480
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:47.880
<v Speaker 4>They brought in aj Dillon is kind of a I

0:32:47.880 --> 0:32:50.240
<v Speaker 4>don't know, replacement. He's not he doesn't run the same

0:32:50.280 --> 0:32:53.400
<v Speaker 4>way as not All or anything like that. But in

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:56.200
<v Speaker 4>terms of having a backup there, that's the most likely option.

0:32:56.560 --> 0:33:01.480
<v Speaker 4>Or they still have will Shipley as well. So I

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:04.440
<v Speaker 4>know it's it's it's not a good situation if Barkley

0:33:04.440 --> 0:33:07.640
<v Speaker 4>were to go down. That's certainly the main takeaway here.

0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:11.320
<v Speaker 4>And you know, we're talking about how things are affecting

0:33:11.360 --> 0:33:14.080
<v Speaker 4>the future. Can we look at if Barkley is going

0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 4>to be able to repeat the success he had last year.

0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:20.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't know that he can almost you know, right,

0:33:20.280 --> 0:33:23.720
<v Speaker 4>almost can't act. And I think that's the larger takeaway

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:27.200
<v Speaker 4>from the Philadelphia Eagles, is that because they brought back

0:33:27.240 --> 0:33:28.760
<v Speaker 4>all the same people, you could say, well, how could

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:30.760
<v Speaker 4>it get worse? And I think that the argument would

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 4>be that they played at their ceiling. They played the

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:37.360
<v Speaker 4>best possible version of this offense. You know, Jalen Hurts,

0:33:37.680 --> 0:33:40.400
<v Speaker 4>who is a very very good passer, very good runner.

0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:44.040
<v Speaker 4>He kind of hit some high benchmarks in terms of

0:33:44.440 --> 0:33:47.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, his yards per attempt a just a completion percentage,

0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 4>his run game or excuse his PFF run great, and

0:33:50.920 --> 0:33:52.960
<v Speaker 4>then passer rating. So those are all highs for him.

0:33:53.400 --> 0:33:55.720
<v Speaker 4>And you know, if you're telling me, or if you're

0:33:55.720 --> 0:33:57.400
<v Speaker 4>asking me if I think he's going to repeat that,

0:33:57.440 --> 0:34:00.320
<v Speaker 4>I would say probably not. He's just he's not the

0:34:00.400 --> 0:34:02.920
<v Speaker 4>elite level of a passer. He's a very good passer

0:34:03.200 --> 0:34:06.520
<v Speaker 4>and a very good runner, possibly elite runner as well,

0:34:06.600 --> 0:34:08.920
<v Speaker 4>just maybe a shade behind kind of like the Lamar

0:34:09.000 --> 0:34:12.080
<v Speaker 4>Jackson Jayden Daniels t here, but still very very good.

0:34:12.920 --> 0:34:16.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, So Eagles as a team do they get

0:34:16.040 --> 0:34:18.920
<v Speaker 1>but they almost can't get better. But you know, I'll

0:34:18.960 --> 0:34:21.359
<v Speaker 1>give I'll put it in your hands. Do the Eagles

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:25.160
<v Speaker 1>offense is, in totality get better or worse this year?

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:27.680
<v Speaker 4>If I'm a betting man, I'll say worse. I don't

0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:30.319
<v Speaker 4>feel good about it, but that's that's where the money

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:30.680
<v Speaker 4>should go.

0:34:30.719 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 3>I think.

0:34:31.320 --> 0:34:34.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean, just you know, like Barkley gets hurt,

0:34:34.520 --> 0:34:36.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, or you know, Ag Brown gets hurt, who

0:34:36.320 --> 0:34:40.080
<v Speaker 1>never misses time, rarely misses time. I'm with you, almost,

0:34:40.080 --> 0:34:42.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, not that there's any reason for them to

0:34:42.600 --> 0:34:45.279
<v Speaker 1>get worse. It's just they almost can't get better than

0:34:45.320 --> 0:34:46.200
<v Speaker 1>what they were last year.

0:34:47.040 --> 0:34:48.800
<v Speaker 3>All right, let's go to the Cowboys.

0:34:49.480 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 1>That'll be your first game of the season, right, It's

0:34:52.280 --> 0:34:54.120
<v Speaker 1>it's Eagles Cowboys Thursday night.

0:34:57.280 --> 0:34:59.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah well, yeah, yeah, I believe that is correct.

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:02.520
<v Speaker 1>And oh it's so exciting that they're putting the seven

0:35:02.600 --> 0:35:07.160
<v Speaker 1>win Cowboys on national television in week Number one is

0:35:07.200 --> 0:35:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the kickoff game. Because everybody loves America's team. Everybody's second

0:35:14.040 --> 0:35:15.360
<v Speaker 1>favorite team.

0:35:15.520 --> 0:35:17.279
<v Speaker 3>Is the Dallas Cowboys.

0:35:17.960 --> 0:35:21.399
<v Speaker 1>I feel such a sense of patriotism when I think

0:35:21.400 --> 0:35:25.719
<v Speaker 1>about America's team at they.

0:35:25.640 --> 0:35:27.480
<v Speaker 4>Got to lose that Moniker. I don't know if that's

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:29.239
<v Speaker 4>so much the case anymore.

0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:31.160
<v Speaker 3>I think it never was.

0:35:31.760 --> 0:35:34.080
<v Speaker 4>Well, that's certainly possibility.

0:35:33.719 --> 0:35:36.640
<v Speaker 3>Just me. All right, let's start at the quarterback position.

0:35:36.760 --> 0:35:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott comes back currently going off the board around

0:35:39.640 --> 0:35:41.680
<v Speaker 1>quarterback nineteen or twenty.

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:45.040
<v Speaker 3>I think that's a little light. I like him a

0:35:45.080 --> 0:35:46.080
<v Speaker 3>little bit better than that.

0:35:46.760 --> 0:35:53.360
<v Speaker 1>And I believe that the addition of George Pickens will

0:35:53.560 --> 0:35:56.400
<v Speaker 1>help get more downfield passing out a Dak yet a

0:35:56.440 --> 0:36:00.360
<v Speaker 1>really short a dot last years twenty eighth in average

0:36:00.400 --> 0:36:04.759
<v Speaker 1>distance of throw just eight yards last year. I think

0:36:04.760 --> 0:36:08.319
<v Speaker 1>Pickens will unlock more downfield passing because of his go

0:36:08.400 --> 0:36:11.920
<v Speaker 1>up and get it stylings that he has, And it

0:36:11.960 --> 0:36:14.880
<v Speaker 1>really is different. You know, neither he nor ceede Lam

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:18.759
<v Speaker 1>or Burners, but we know that Pickens can do some

0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:23.840
<v Speaker 1>really fun stuff downfield when he can dominate shorter, less

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:28.040
<v Speaker 1>physical cornerbacks. Maybe that ultimately ends up up helping Dak.

0:36:28.360 --> 0:36:31.560
<v Speaker 1>And I think I think the quarterback upgrade certainly helps

0:36:31.600 --> 0:36:34.880
<v Speaker 1>George Pickens as well, who becomes much more fantasy viable

0:36:34.920 --> 0:36:40.040
<v Speaker 1>here than he was in Pittsburgh. They also added Paris Campbell,

0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:41.840
<v Speaker 1>but I think at this point he's officially and we

0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:44.799
<v Speaker 1>can officially deem him to be a journeyman. I'd liked

0:36:44.880 --> 0:36:46.480
<v Speaker 1>him coming out of the draft, but then he had

0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:48.560
<v Speaker 1>all those injuries in his first couple of years and

0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:50.520
<v Speaker 1>just hasn't been able to put it together.

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:51.359
<v Speaker 3>Unfortunately.

0:36:51.680 --> 0:36:54.640
<v Speaker 1>The biggest story for the Cowboys, though, ken without a doubt,

0:36:54.719 --> 0:36:58.560
<v Speaker 1>it's the running back position. We all thought this team

0:36:58.640 --> 0:37:01.640
<v Speaker 1>was going to invest in this the mother of all

0:37:01.719 --> 0:37:04.800
<v Speaker 1>running back drafts, that this team was going to invest

0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:11.480
<v Speaker 1>some real equity into the running back position, and they didn't.

0:37:12.080 --> 0:37:15.279
<v Speaker 1>They brought in Javante Williams. Let's talk about in for

0:37:15.360 --> 0:37:18.799
<v Speaker 1>just a minute now. Last year was his second year

0:37:18.840 --> 0:37:20.960
<v Speaker 1>off ACL, so I mean, you don't get any You

0:37:21.280 --> 0:37:24.680
<v Speaker 1>can't keep blaming the ACL forever that that's done with.

0:37:25.520 --> 0:37:30.040
<v Speaker 1>He was third to last in rushing yards over expectation,

0:37:30.160 --> 0:37:35.279
<v Speaker 1>well under expectation, about negative point six yards under expectation

0:37:35.480 --> 0:37:39.680
<v Speaker 1>per carry. Among runners with at least one hundred carries.

0:37:39.760 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Last year, Williams ranked forty first in yards, forty sixth

0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:50.439
<v Speaker 1>in yards per carry, and forty first in broken tackle rate,

0:37:50.920 --> 0:37:53.360
<v Speaker 1>all of them very near the bottom of runners with

0:37:53.400 --> 0:37:57.640
<v Speaker 1>at least one hundred carries. For Javonte Williams, I don't

0:37:57.760 --> 0:38:01.200
<v Speaker 1>understand why they made the move to pick him up

0:38:01.200 --> 0:38:02.880
<v Speaker 1>at all. I think if they hadn't, he'd be a

0:38:02.880 --> 0:38:05.520
<v Speaker 1>free agent right now. They also brought in Miles Sanders,

0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:08.279
<v Speaker 1>we know how his stint in Carolina went, and then

0:38:08.320 --> 0:38:11.920
<v Speaker 1>they did draft a rookie, Jaden Blue. But the problem is,

0:38:12.000 --> 0:38:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Jayden Blue looks just like a change of pace runner.

0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:17.560
<v Speaker 1>He does not look like a special runner. He doesn't

0:38:17.560 --> 0:38:20.399
<v Speaker 1>look like somebody who's gonna carry the ball more than

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:22.960
<v Speaker 1>six seven times a game.

0:38:23.000 --> 0:38:24.120
<v Speaker 3>He wasn't in college.

0:38:25.160 --> 0:38:27.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't see his game really translating to other than

0:38:27.719 --> 0:38:31.960
<v Speaker 1>some scattershot, potential big plays now and again, I don't

0:38:32.000 --> 0:38:33.759
<v Speaker 1>think Jayden Blue is going to be an answer. So

0:38:34.600 --> 0:38:36.799
<v Speaker 1>I did not like what Jerry Jones ended up doing

0:38:36.840 --> 0:38:39.520
<v Speaker 1>at running back, and I didn't see any significant change here.

0:38:40.120 --> 0:38:45.320
<v Speaker 1>In totality, Cowboys will be better this year with Pickens

0:38:45.640 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>getting Dak back, but I don't see this team getting

0:38:49.280 --> 0:38:52.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot better. Dak could have some big games Kent,

0:38:52.880 --> 0:38:54.759
<v Speaker 1>because I think the running game is going to be

0:38:55.040 --> 0:38:58.799
<v Speaker 1>just awful again, and that's going to give an opportunity

0:38:58.960 --> 0:39:01.600
<v Speaker 1>to pass a lot, and we may see Dak throwing

0:39:01.640 --> 0:39:03.480
<v Speaker 1>the ball a ton. I should mention, by the way,

0:39:03.480 --> 0:39:05.799
<v Speaker 1>before we move off to Dallas. They did put that

0:39:05.840 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 1>first round pick into right guard Tyler Booker, and you never,

0:39:11.200 --> 0:39:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, we always love teams that fortify their offensive

0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:15.840
<v Speaker 1>line at the end of the day. That always almost

0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:18.960
<v Speaker 1>always helps. And when Zach Martin retired, they had they

0:39:18.960 --> 0:39:21.319
<v Speaker 1>had to do something. They had nowhere to go, so

0:39:21.880 --> 0:39:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Booker goes in there. But to me, Zach Martin

0:39:25.560 --> 0:39:27.719
<v Speaker 1>was so good for so long that's at best just

0:39:27.719 --> 0:39:30.400
<v Speaker 1>sort of like a push on what was a mach

0:39:30.520 --> 0:39:32.000
<v Speaker 1>offensive line last year.

0:39:32.440 --> 0:39:35.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, the Cowboys, they had the pristine vision of what

0:39:35.960 --> 0:39:37.960
<v Speaker 4>an offensive line should be for so many years, and

0:39:37.960 --> 0:39:39.880
<v Speaker 4>then it kind of fell apart on him a little bit.

0:39:39.920 --> 0:39:41.520
<v Speaker 4>And you know that's going to happen. You go through

0:39:41.520 --> 0:39:44.120
<v Speaker 4>waves and cycles and I totally get it. But one

0:39:44.120 --> 0:39:45.839
<v Speaker 4>other thing I wanted to note in regards to the

0:39:45.880 --> 0:39:48.680
<v Speaker 4>Cowboys that you know, last year their defense was horrific,

0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:51.560
<v Speaker 4>and I think that they did not make many meaningful

0:39:51.600 --> 0:39:54.040
<v Speaker 4>additions there too, So you could see a lot of

0:39:54.080 --> 0:39:57.719
<v Speaker 4>high over undertotal. That's the games that these guys are playing.

0:39:57.719 --> 0:39:59.640
<v Speaker 4>It So in terms of fantasy, you know, you got

0:39:59.680 --> 0:40:02.359
<v Speaker 4>decks slinging the ball either from behind or just trying

0:40:02.360 --> 0:40:04.920
<v Speaker 4>to get ahead. So I'm with you. I've been in

0:40:04.960 --> 0:40:07.080
<v Speaker 4>on Dak. I've been drafting him quite a bit recently

0:40:07.120 --> 0:40:09.439
<v Speaker 4>here in Best Ball drafts, So I'm with you there.

0:40:09.800 --> 0:40:13.239
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to our next team, Washington Commanders.

0:40:13.560 --> 0:40:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Now suddenly the thrilling what and another team that I

0:40:17.239 --> 0:40:19.480
<v Speaker 1>thought was going to make a move at running back

0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and much to my frustration, did not because I am

0:40:23.120 --> 0:40:26.000
<v Speaker 1>just I am not a Brian Robinson believer.

0:40:26.520 --> 0:40:29.040
<v Speaker 4>Well you know, I get it. But also they were

0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:31.640
<v Speaker 4>third in rushing yards last year, so if it ain't,

0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:32.759
<v Speaker 4>don't fix it once again.

0:40:32.880 --> 0:40:35.319
<v Speaker 3>That's that was their quarterback, and Austin Eckler helped.

0:40:35.480 --> 0:40:38.719
<v Speaker 4>Sure, yep, that's fair, I know that. You know, some

0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:41.480
<v Speaker 4>of the advanced measures that were on the Commander's running

0:40:41.480 --> 0:40:45.080
<v Speaker 4>backs were still pretty good. In fact, all of their

0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:49.120
<v Speaker 4>running backs, Robinson, Eckler, McNicholas Rodriguez, they were all over

0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:53.200
<v Speaker 4>expectation on rushing yards. So they were able to use

0:40:53.239 --> 0:40:55.319
<v Speaker 4>their offense and their scheme in a way to make

0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:58.760
<v Speaker 4>their running backs work well. In addition to Jane Daniels,

0:40:58.760 --> 0:41:01.480
<v Speaker 4>who's obviously the cherry on in terms of transforming this

0:41:01.520 --> 0:41:04.720
<v Speaker 4>into a really strong rushing offense, you know, and even

0:41:04.760 --> 0:41:07.919
<v Speaker 4>so that they were so focused on rushing despite being

0:41:08.040 --> 0:41:10.600
<v Speaker 4>near the back of the league and passing attempts they

0:41:10.600 --> 0:41:12.880
<v Speaker 4>were ninth and passing touchdowns too, so they're scoring a

0:41:12.880 --> 0:41:16.800
<v Speaker 4>whole bunch on the ground through the air. They drafted

0:41:16.880 --> 0:41:19.400
<v Speaker 4>Josh Connerley at the end of the first round. I

0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:22.320
<v Speaker 4>see that as more of a succession plan to Laramie Tunsel,

0:41:22.920 --> 0:41:25.279
<v Speaker 4>who has I'd have to look, but I think another

0:41:25.360 --> 0:41:27.799
<v Speaker 4>year or two left on his contract and he might

0:41:27.840 --> 0:41:29.600
<v Speaker 4>get a shot at right tackle. They don't have a

0:41:29.640 --> 0:41:32.160
<v Speaker 4>true starter right now on the right side, so that

0:41:32.160 --> 0:41:33.960
<v Speaker 4>could be a camp battle kind of situation.

0:41:34.640 --> 0:41:34.799
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

0:41:35.000 --> 0:41:37.120
<v Speaker 4>You know, they were second in run block win rate

0:41:37.280 --> 0:41:40.839
<v Speaker 4>of this offensive line last year, so again, I think

0:41:41.000 --> 0:41:43.759
<v Speaker 4>it's all coming together under the scheme. Cliff Kingsbury really

0:41:43.800 --> 0:41:46.799
<v Speaker 4>did a great job as the offensive coordinator here. I

0:41:46.880 --> 0:41:49.040
<v Speaker 4>have to give credit where it's due despite his you know,

0:41:49.160 --> 0:41:52.520
<v Speaker 4>head coaching. You know kurb Bunkle that he went through recently.

0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:59.360
<v Speaker 4>So you know Jane Daniels, he yeah, Jane and Daniels.

0:41:59.640 --> 0:42:01.960
<v Speaker 4>You know, he was the second Olverall pick. But obviously

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:03.800
<v Speaker 4>he lived up to the hype. He was sixth and

0:42:03.920 --> 0:42:07.239
<v Speaker 4>EPA per play that's going to continue that he's so

0:42:07.360 --> 0:42:11.239
<v Speaker 4>dynamic pass catchers that he's throwing to.

0:42:11.320 --> 0:42:11.520
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:42:11.600 --> 0:42:14.439
<v Speaker 4>They signed Noah Brown, which is a good third option,

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:16.680
<v Speaker 4>I'll say, And then they traded a fifth round pick

0:42:16.680 --> 0:42:19.560
<v Speaker 4>for Deebo Samuel, which might sound like a load trade compensation.

0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:22.520
<v Speaker 4>That's more of a contract age offsetting type of thing

0:42:22.920 --> 0:42:24.560
<v Speaker 4>when it comes to the trades in the NFL. So

0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:27.320
<v Speaker 4>I wouldn't put it past them to still be using

0:42:27.440 --> 0:42:29.759
<v Speaker 4>Deebo Samuel quite a bit. He's coming off a little

0:42:29.760 --> 0:42:32.839
<v Speaker 4>bit of a down year, but very much a down

0:42:32.920 --> 0:42:36.120
<v Speaker 4>year from a fan. I downplayed it, or maybe uplayed it,

0:42:36.160 --> 0:42:38.719
<v Speaker 4>whatever the correct way to say that is. But it's

0:42:38.760 --> 0:42:40.520
<v Speaker 4>a down year for sure. And I think that this

0:42:40.600 --> 0:42:42.239
<v Speaker 4>is a good offense for him to come to. And

0:42:42.280 --> 0:42:44.560
<v Speaker 4>I think that if you know Kingsbury's going to continue

0:42:44.560 --> 0:42:47.080
<v Speaker 4>with his offensive success, that he can scheme up Debo,

0:42:47.400 --> 0:42:49.520
<v Speaker 4>get him some screen looks, get him out in space

0:42:50.239 --> 0:42:53.600
<v Speaker 4>the same way he was used in San Francisco. So

0:42:55.480 --> 0:42:57.200
<v Speaker 4>I think that he's a good fit for this offense.

0:42:57.200 --> 0:42:59.640
<v Speaker 4>He pairs well with Terry McLaurin, who's kind of, you know,

0:42:59.680 --> 0:43:04.080
<v Speaker 4>somewhat similar to and I, you sort of prototype, And

0:43:04.120 --> 0:43:05.719
<v Speaker 4>I think this is a good combo of one two

0:43:05.760 --> 0:43:06.320
<v Speaker 4>wide receiver.

0:43:07.480 --> 0:43:09.120
<v Speaker 3>Let me ask you this about Deebo Samuel.

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:14.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm working on my guillotine player rankings now we're gonna

0:43:14.760 --> 0:43:18.319
<v Speaker 1>post him fairly soon. I really really thought long and

0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:22.239
<v Speaker 1>hard about zach Ertz, who was a terrific guillotine tight end.

0:43:22.640 --> 0:43:25.279
<v Speaker 1>Not really explosive, but you know he was helping you

0:43:25.280 --> 0:43:27.759
<v Speaker 1>out with like, you know, four catches and sixty yards

0:43:27.800 --> 0:43:29.800
<v Speaker 1>a game and really really safe.

0:43:30.200 --> 0:43:31.240
<v Speaker 3>But here comes Deebo.

0:43:31.080 --> 0:43:34.040
<v Speaker 1>Samuel, and we know Deebo Samuel lines up in the

0:43:34.080 --> 0:43:35.000
<v Speaker 1>slot a lot.

0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:37.839
<v Speaker 3>He's about built like a tight end.

0:43:38.320 --> 0:43:41.080
<v Speaker 1>And I'm a little bit worried that Deebo Samuel is

0:43:41.120 --> 0:43:44.160
<v Speaker 1>going to eat into zach Ertz's just sort of game

0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:46.719
<v Speaker 1>in and game out productivity that we saw last year.

0:43:47.000 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you have any thoughts about that?

0:43:48.520 --> 0:43:52.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I don't see Ertz being replicating the success he

0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:54.759
<v Speaker 4>had last year. He's already got Benson at behind him,

0:43:55.400 --> 0:43:56.560
<v Speaker 4>kind of champion at the big.

0:43:56.560 --> 0:43:59.279
<v Speaker 3>And it had like one catch last year. I'm not

0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:00.080
<v Speaker 3>worried about that.

0:44:00.360 --> 0:44:02.719
<v Speaker 4>Sure, that's fair, but you know, if if they're wanting to,

0:44:03.200 --> 0:44:05.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, zech Ertz is up there in age, so

0:44:05.520 --> 0:44:08.120
<v Speaker 4>they're gonna need some someone to step in once he

0:44:08.280 --> 0:44:11.080
<v Speaker 4>is done playing. And and that's the current game plan.

0:44:11.200 --> 0:44:13.440
<v Speaker 4>So maybe they change that in the in the coming years,

0:44:13.440 --> 0:44:15.000
<v Speaker 4>but for now, that's the way I think they look

0:44:15.040 --> 0:44:18.560
<v Speaker 4>at it. And yeah, I you know, Debo is going

0:44:18.600 --> 0:44:22.279
<v Speaker 4>to cut into that if they have any you know,

0:44:22.560 --> 0:44:26.120
<v Speaker 4>reduced success in terms of their overall offense, passing, rushing

0:44:26.160 --> 0:44:29.600
<v Speaker 4>either way, you know, all of a sudden, Earth's becomes

0:44:29.960 --> 0:44:32.680
<v Speaker 4>kind of a second option in this overall offense. They're

0:44:32.680 --> 0:44:35.279
<v Speaker 4>going to go to their main guys like Debo McLaurin

0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:38.440
<v Speaker 4>and then you know, Brian Robinson and maybe Eckler. But

0:44:39.200 --> 0:44:42.920
<v Speaker 4>it's it's it's not someone that I'm I'm particularly interested

0:44:42.960 --> 0:44:44.439
<v Speaker 4>in drafting a whole bunch this year for sure.

0:44:44.840 --> 0:44:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm I'm really I'm torn on that because guy

0:44:48.200 --> 0:44:51.200
<v Speaker 1>he made he helped me in so many Guillotine leagues

0:44:51.320 --> 0:44:54.680
<v Speaker 1>ers did where you don't need explosive output, you just

0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:58.439
<v Speaker 1>need to have solid numbers for you know, up until

0:44:58.440 --> 0:45:00.759
<v Speaker 1>about Thanksgiving, and I I want to believe that he

0:45:00.760 --> 0:45:03.440
<v Speaker 1>could do that again in this in this offense, Washington's

0:45:03.480 --> 0:45:06.239
<v Speaker 1>got so many different ways to score and hurt opponents,

0:45:06.280 --> 0:45:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he could be you know, he could

0:45:08.520 --> 0:45:10.799
<v Speaker 1>be remain a big tool in that, but we'll find out.

0:45:11.480 --> 0:45:14.440
<v Speaker 1>So sorry, sorry to cut you off there. I'll let

0:45:14.440 --> 0:45:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you continue, but I just wanted to get to a

0:45:16.040 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 1>little zach Ertz chatter in there.

0:45:18.640 --> 0:45:20.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, no, that's fine. The only point to touch on

0:45:21.080 --> 0:45:22.800
<v Speaker 4>is the rushing game. You know, they bringing back the

0:45:22.840 --> 0:45:24.680
<v Speaker 4>same group, so there's not a whole lot of changes.

0:45:25.719 --> 0:45:28.279
<v Speaker 4>Eckler's getting old, so maybe they reduce his touch work

0:45:28.320 --> 0:45:31.440
<v Speaker 4>a little bit. I'm not sure, But overall, I think

0:45:31.520 --> 0:45:34.600
<v Speaker 4>this offense is better just for adding Deebo Samuel to it.

0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:36.719
<v Speaker 4>And I think Noah Brown is a good addition as well.

0:45:36.760 --> 0:45:38.680
<v Speaker 4>So I'm gonna I'm gonna look on the positive side

0:45:38.680 --> 0:45:38.960
<v Speaker 4>for this one.

0:45:39.000 --> 0:45:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Say better all right, I'm I'm I probably would say better,

0:45:45.160 --> 0:45:49.000
<v Speaker 1>But Raminson just doesn't do it for me fortieth and

0:45:49.080 --> 0:45:51.480
<v Speaker 1>avoided tackle. Right, He's just you know, for a guy

0:45:51.560 --> 0:45:54.000
<v Speaker 1>his size, I want him to shred some dudes.

0:45:54.440 --> 0:45:58.319
<v Speaker 3>I want him to break tackles, doesn't break tackles. Just

0:45:58.360 --> 0:46:00.960
<v Speaker 3>not a power runner. Despite as you know, eye test,

0:46:01.040 --> 0:46:03.879
<v Speaker 3>you think he's gonna be. Yeah, he's just a guy.

0:46:04.080 --> 0:46:04.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:46:04.760 --> 0:46:06.040
<v Speaker 4>I don't just.

0:46:06.480 --> 0:46:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I just I wish, I wish this team, and you know,

0:46:09.560 --> 0:46:11.640
<v Speaker 1>they put a first rounder in their offensive line, which

0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:13.759
<v Speaker 1>I always love and that ultimately, at the end of

0:46:13.760 --> 0:46:17.239
<v Speaker 1>the day, I respect that part of it. But man,

0:46:17.360 --> 0:46:21.160
<v Speaker 1>there were some game changing running backs that they passed

0:46:21.160 --> 0:46:24.200
<v Speaker 1>on that I don't I don't understand. Let's go to

0:46:24.239 --> 0:46:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the Giants, our fourth thought, well, eighth and final team

0:46:27.440 --> 0:46:32.520
<v Speaker 1>for this podcast, saving the worst for last, I guess,

0:46:33.000 --> 0:46:34.799
<v Speaker 1>so a lot of change a quarterback, right, So we

0:46:34.840 --> 0:46:38.840
<v Speaker 1>have Russell Wilson, We've got Jameis Winston, and then in

0:46:38.880 --> 0:46:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the first round they took Jackson Dart. Now, everybody believes

0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:46.960
<v Speaker 1>that the ideal scenario here is Dart doesn't touch a

0:46:47.080 --> 0:46:51.319
<v Speaker 1>starting NFL game this year. He is widely viewed as

0:46:51.360 --> 0:46:54.960
<v Speaker 1>a project who is best learning from the bench for

0:46:54.960 --> 0:46:57.720
<v Speaker 1>a year, in part because he came from the Lane

0:46:58.400 --> 0:47:03.759
<v Speaker 1>Kiffin shotgun system, which is all all about building a

0:47:03.800 --> 0:47:06.520
<v Speaker 1>skill set that does not work necessarily in the NFL.

0:47:06.960 --> 0:47:10.760
<v Speaker 1>You get all these advantages of misdirection and false tells,

0:47:10.800 --> 0:47:12.239
<v Speaker 1>and then all you have to do is go make

0:47:12.280 --> 0:47:17.840
<v Speaker 1>your first read and Dart was good at that. But

0:47:18.040 --> 0:47:21.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times those traits do not translate to

0:47:21.520 --> 0:47:25.839
<v Speaker 1>the NFL right away. When you have to methodically make

0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:28.560
<v Speaker 1>your reads. And the hope is that Dart would have

0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:31.400
<v Speaker 1>to start that the Giants offense can be just fine

0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:34.319
<v Speaker 1>with Russell Wilson, that it can be good enough, much

0:47:34.400 --> 0:47:38.840
<v Speaker 1>like Russell Wilson was last year in Pittsburgh.

0:47:37.400 --> 0:47:38.360
<v Speaker 3>At the White opposition.

0:47:38.520 --> 0:47:41.959
<v Speaker 1>No notable changes tight ends, no notable changes running back though,

0:47:42.400 --> 0:47:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Cam Scatapo's landing spot, and I liked this pick. I

0:47:46.160 --> 0:47:50.080
<v Speaker 1>feel like he was an ideal pairing to go with

0:47:50.320 --> 0:47:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Tyrone Tracy because Tracy converted wide receiver, not a great

0:47:55.960 --> 0:47:59.760
<v Speaker 1>inside runner, not somebody you'd want to you feel comfortable

0:47:59.760 --> 0:48:03.000
<v Speaker 1>giving the ball to at third.

0:48:02.800 --> 0:48:04.800
<v Speaker 3>Down and two at the goal line.

0:48:06.560 --> 0:48:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Scatabo, though, he's just he's going to bring the boom

0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:12.799
<v Speaker 1>to that offense that Tracy just can't. I love how

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:17.000
<v Speaker 1>he is just out there looking for contact. He's trying

0:48:17.040 --> 0:48:19.920
<v Speaker 1>to find defenders he can mow down, and you just

0:48:20.120 --> 0:48:23.359
<v Speaker 1>don't see many players like that. And Scatabo is gonna

0:48:23.360 --> 0:48:25.520
<v Speaker 1>get the goal line work that's going to eat into

0:48:25.520 --> 0:48:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Tracy's upside. I'm down on Tracy. I've taken him in

0:48:28.520 --> 0:48:31.759
<v Speaker 1>zero best ball drafts so far, and Scatterball, on the

0:48:31.800 --> 0:48:34.279
<v Speaker 1>other hand, there's gonna be games or he's gonna get

0:48:34.280 --> 0:48:37.239
<v Speaker 1>a couple of a couple of rushing touchdowns.

0:48:37.280 --> 0:48:38.120
<v Speaker 3>He's gonna be all those guys.

0:48:38.120 --> 0:48:40.680
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna have like six carries for four yards and

0:48:40.719 --> 0:48:47.360
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns in some games. Now, Scatabo is slow, he's short,

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:50.280
<v Speaker 1>and he's twenty three years old, which for your dynasty

0:48:50.280 --> 0:48:52.920
<v Speaker 1>players is pretty old for rookie. I don't think you're

0:48:52.920 --> 0:48:55.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna get a lot of explosive plays at the NFL level.

0:48:55.760 --> 0:48:57.600
<v Speaker 1>But he's gonna break some tackles and he's going to

0:48:57.680 --> 0:49:01.279
<v Speaker 1>get you some touchdowns. And I don't think Devin Singletary's

0:49:01.280 --> 0:49:03.320
<v Speaker 1>going to make the team. We'll see maybe as a

0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:04.080
<v Speaker 1>third running back.

0:49:04.719 --> 0:49:07.560
<v Speaker 4>He was he was not too bad. He's kind of

0:49:07.600 --> 0:49:09.239
<v Speaker 4>the same deal as that he's He shouldn't be a

0:49:09.360 --> 0:49:11.840
<v Speaker 4>lead back and you know, Tyrone Tracy was better suited

0:49:11.840 --> 0:49:14.239
<v Speaker 4>for that last year. But camp Scattabo is a great

0:49:14.239 --> 0:49:16.040
<v Speaker 4>addition to this running back room if you are going

0:49:16.080 --> 0:49:18.120
<v Speaker 4>to go platoon style. And you know who he kind

0:49:18.160 --> 0:49:20.799
<v Speaker 4>of reminded me of was a modern day version of

0:49:20.800 --> 0:49:21.440
<v Speaker 4>Mike Alstadt.

0:49:21.560 --> 0:49:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's what I said.

0:49:22.560 --> 0:49:26.400
<v Speaker 4>Too short, Mike Alstott. He's really fun to watch. I

0:49:26.640 --> 0:49:28.520
<v Speaker 4>hope that they use him a decent amount this year,

0:49:28.680 --> 0:49:30.200
<v Speaker 4>at least for our viewership sake.

0:49:31.000 --> 0:49:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Thor comped him to David Montgomery, and I begged him

0:49:34.120 --> 0:49:35.080
<v Speaker 1>to comp him doll Stott.

0:49:35.080 --> 0:49:36.719
<v Speaker 3>He wouldn't do it. He could knock it off, he

0:49:36.760 --> 0:49:39.080
<v Speaker 3>would not. He would not let me influence him that way.

0:49:39.960 --> 0:49:42.160
<v Speaker 1>He kept his comp to Montgomery. But I just I

0:49:42.280 --> 0:49:46.640
<v Speaker 1>see small all stop written all over him. Giants will

0:49:46.640 --> 0:49:49.399
<v Speaker 1>be better this year thanks to the upgraded quarterback. Right,

0:49:49.480 --> 0:49:51.480
<v Speaker 1>So no longer do we have to see Tommy DeVito

0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and Drew Locke and Daniel Jones. We're going to see

0:49:55.200 --> 0:49:57.959
<v Speaker 1>We'll see Russell Wilson probably most of all of the year,

0:49:58.040 --> 0:50:00.440
<v Speaker 1>maybe a little dash of Jameis Wins and in there

0:50:00.480 --> 0:50:03.360
<v Speaker 1>if it's something goes wrong with Wilson again. Hope we

0:50:03.480 --> 0:50:07.640
<v Speaker 1>hopefully we do not end up seeing Jackson Dart. Well

0:50:07.680 --> 0:50:08.920
<v Speaker 1>done Thor not Thor.

0:50:09.239 --> 0:50:11.319
<v Speaker 4>Oh well, I know you've been hanging out with Thor

0:50:11.400 --> 0:50:13.200
<v Speaker 4>a lot, But it's.

0:50:13.080 --> 0:50:15.759
<v Speaker 3>Been a lot of Thor, a lot of Thorp, you

0:50:15.760 --> 0:50:16.319
<v Speaker 3>know what I mean?

0:50:16.400 --> 0:50:19.480
<v Speaker 4>And for good reason. He is his second to none

0:50:19.520 --> 0:50:22.040
<v Speaker 4>when it comes to just spitting out information on any

0:50:23.120 --> 0:50:26.839
<v Speaker 4>human player prospect team. He's got it all, man.

0:50:27.239 --> 0:50:28.000
<v Speaker 3>He does have it all.

0:50:28.080 --> 0:50:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Sorry about that, and you know you both have got

0:50:30.400 --> 0:50:31.800
<v Speaker 1>your you have a much.

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:34.000
<v Speaker 3>Fuller, more manly beard though.

0:50:34.320 --> 0:50:37.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh I think you know listeners can't necessarily tell that,

0:50:37.400 --> 0:50:39.920
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's I think it just goes without saying.

0:50:40.000 --> 0:50:40.759
<v Speaker 4>I appreciate it.

0:50:40.960 --> 0:50:43.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, really really lustrous. I'm very impressed.

0:50:43.840 --> 0:50:47.839
<v Speaker 1>Ken'd yes, and I don't. I think you're not back

0:50:47.960 --> 0:50:51.239
<v Speaker 1>next week. I believe somebody else is handling. I believe

0:50:51.280 --> 0:50:55.080
<v Speaker 1>we're going to the AFC and NFC North, and I

0:50:55.120 --> 0:50:57.279
<v Speaker 1>don't believe you're on the docket next week.

0:50:57.400 --> 0:50:58.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, I hate to ruin your day here, charge, but

0:50:58.840 --> 0:51:00.520
<v Speaker 4>you got me for one more week and then I

0:51:00.520 --> 0:51:02.680
<v Speaker 4>think we're cycling back to matt after that week. So

0:51:02.800 --> 0:51:06.160
<v Speaker 4>all right, we're gonna talk AC, NFC North, excuse me

0:51:06.200 --> 0:51:06.919
<v Speaker 4>South next week?

0:51:07.120 --> 0:51:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Is it South?

0:51:07.920 --> 0:51:10.759
<v Speaker 1>Yep, Okay, we'll do the fine, We'll do the South

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:17.080
<v Speaker 1>next week. The scott Fish needs to make an appearance

0:51:17.080 --> 0:51:17.399
<v Speaker 1>some point.

0:51:18.920 --> 0:51:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Now.

0:51:19.120 --> 0:51:22.560
<v Speaker 4>I've heard he's pretty busy with all his various pots

0:51:22.560 --> 0:51:23.759
<v Speaker 4>that he sticks his fingers into it.

0:51:23.920 --> 0:51:27.000
<v Speaker 1>He's a pretty busy guy. Yeah, you know, I got

0:51:27.000 --> 0:51:29.520
<v Speaker 1>plenty going on. I'm in the middle of moving. I mean,

0:51:29.680 --> 0:51:31.359
<v Speaker 1>I've got a lot going on. You know, I make

0:51:31.400 --> 0:51:33.359
<v Speaker 1>time for the show. We got we gotta get fit.

0:51:33.440 --> 0:51:36.040
<v Speaker 1>We need to get fish out here on one of

0:51:36.080 --> 0:51:38.600
<v Speaker 1>these shows. I'm worried it's going to be like August

0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:41.160
<v Speaker 1>or something before it gets out here, because we're going
