7
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: it was a good weekend.

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: I very quietly kind of ducked out to Las Vegas for.

9
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: A day or so.

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: Nice. I did not go to the game. I came

11
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: back early Sunday morning. I literally I caught a six

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: thirty am flight out of Vegas on Sunday morning. Was

13
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: back at my home by yeah, eight thirty or so

14
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: in the morning.

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 2: Were you hungover on Super Bowl Sunday?

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: No, just really really tired. I just really exhausted, But

17
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: I kind of hung out. My wife, she was out there.

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: She came back early. She went to sleep for a

19
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: couple of hours. I just kind of was low key.

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: I was with the kid, didn't do much, just got

21
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: ready for the day. My dad and my sister came

22
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: over for the game and so like it was. The

23
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: day was going really really well up until about I

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 1: don't know, six pm Pacific, six thirty pm Pacific.

25
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right.

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 3: So we're gonna we're gonna give the floor to you, Marcus.

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: Have you allowed me this opportunity when the Chiefs victimized

28
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: my bills?

29
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 1: The floor is yours. So I'm not mad at what happened.

30
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm just hurt. I'm just disappointed the fact that it

31
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: just felt like a series of missed opportunities all day long.

32
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: I mean, starting with the very very first drive where

33
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: they were moving down the field and carving up that defense.

34
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: I mean Christian McCaffrey was ripping off eight nine yard runs.

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: I mean Brock Purdy was throwing darts. It looked for

36
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: all the world that they were gonna walk down and

37
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: score a first drive touchdown. Then McCaffrey fumbles, which was

38
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: bad and frustrating, but the defense stepped up, stood tall

39
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: force to three and out.

40
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: You're like, all right, things seem to be okay. Same thing.

41
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Second drive, they're moving the ball, looks like they're about

42
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: to do some big things. You get what a false

43
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: start on Trent Williams. Then you get a holding on

44
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: Trent Williams and suddenly you're looking at second in like

45
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: twenty seven or something weird like that, and it just

46
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: sort of felt like they couldn't ever consistently get anything going.

47
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: And the longer they went without putting touchdowns on the

48
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: board points at all, but touchdowns, especially as well as

49
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: the defense plays, you just knew they couldn't stand up

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: Mahomes and that offense all day long.

51
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: This is before we even get to Dre Greenlawn.

52
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: And I'm sick for the guy suffering an Achilles' injury

53
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. You'll see, you know, when he's

54
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: able to come back next season for the Niners. And

55
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: so it's just I think I tweeted after the game,

56
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: I mean, there were three big things that I think

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: were the difference in the game. You had the the

58
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: missed pat by Jake Moody, which every single Niner fan

59
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 1: was terrified of Jake Moody during that game leading up

60
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: to that game, just you know, worried that he was

61
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: going to have to make some big kicks he misses

62
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: or he has the extra point blocked. The muffed punt

63
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: that ray Ray McLeod couldn't fall on, and the Chiefs

64
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: pretty much immediately cashed that in for a touchdown. And

65
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: the fact that the Niners forced suit turnovers. They had

66
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: the Pachaco fumble in the red zone and they got

67
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: to Mahomes interception, and both times they went three and out.

68
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: I think if any one of those things is different,

69
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: the Niners are having a parade today and not the Chiefs.

70
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: And that's before you even get to the overtime decision, which, for.

71
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 2: The record, I was fine.

72
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: With the overtime the decision to take the ball first

73
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: in overtime. Your defense was gassed. It had been giving

74
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: up chunk plays to Mahomes and Kelsey, so I don't

75
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: know that you wanted to immediately put them back on

76
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: the field, So that part I was fine with. What

77
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: I would have decided to do. Though is I think

78
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: at that point, if you're going to take the ball first,

79
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: it becomes four down territory and you are playing for

80
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: a touchdown because kicking.

81
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: A field goal.

82
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: The way Mahomes and the offense had started to get going,

83
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: they were destined to score a touchdown. So if you're

84
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,559
Speaker 1: going to take the ball first, and the idea being

85
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: you wanted to wait until you know that second go

86
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: around where it was sudden death. You got to score

87
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown. You just have to. So them settling for

88
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: a field goal and putting it on the shoulders of

89
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: the d fence. Just that's the part that felt like

90
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: a bad move, not necessarily taking it first. So I

91
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: have gone through kind of a range of emotions. I

92
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: pretty much as soon as as Mikole Hartman scored the

93
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: touch and I turned it off. I didn't. I didn't.

94
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: I didn't.

95
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: I watched no post game stuff. I just turned it off,

96
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: which is what I do like whenever my team loses

97
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: in the playoffs or any championship. I never watched the

98
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: post I don't want to see it. I don't see

99
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: that a team dancing around. It's like, good for them.

100
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 3: I've yet to watch the Royals twenty fifteen World Series

101
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: celebration to this day.

102
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean good for them. Congratulations, you guys won,

103
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: you earned, you've earned the right to celebrate. I don't

104
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: have to watch it, so I turned it off.

105
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: You're not Steph Diggs.

106
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: You don't got to stay like I'm not trying to

107
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: get But here's the So then I went through a

108
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: period from Sunday night until you know, midday on Monday,

109
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: where it just felt like I felt emotionally spent. Right.

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: It was like, do I have this in me to

111
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: go through another long season, in another postseason run if

112
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: it's going to end in heartbreak?

113
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: Right?

114
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: And I told myself this Sunday night, like I don't

115
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: know if I have anymore, Like maybe I just divorced

116
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: myself emotionally. I was when I first started the NFL.

117
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: The Niners were bad, and I decided I'm going to

118
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: divorce myself emotionally because.

119
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: I can't be at work mad all day, like it's

120
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: just not gonna work.

121
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: Right. I can't be at work upset that they lost

122
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: at like ten am and I got to spend the

123
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: rest of the day They're just just salty, like that's

124
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: not gonna work. So I'm like, do I do this again?

125
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: And then I was like no, by the time we

126
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: get the training camp, I'm sure I'll be over this.

127
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: I'll be back in. But at the same time, you know,

128
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: side note, I have also prepared myself for my next

129
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: scheduled heartbreak in October, when the Dodgers inevitably let me down.

130
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: So I just sort of bottled that feeling and I

131
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 1: remembered it, and I'm like, yeah, Lequan, you are a

132
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: new Dodger fanly you just joined right like, but you're.

133
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: A Dodger fan. He is now to be now man.

134
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean you don't have to be, but I we're

135
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: glad to have you, right So, like, you know, you

136
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: show it when Oates and Yamamotos show up, this is great.

137
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: So you're new to this, You're you're new to the

138
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: whole winning one hundred plus games, you know, from April

139
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: to September. Uh, and then flaming out to a division

140
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: rival who finished twelve games behind you, Like you don't

141
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: know this pain yet.

142
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll just hold off a little bit. Ben,

143
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 2: Ben wagon is the worst. And I'm not calling you, Ben,

144
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: you moved here.

145
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 3: I'm not going but come on, I'm not calling you,

146
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 3: but I'm saying, like I had this conversation with someone

147
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 3: last night, it's almost worse when your team is good.

148
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 2: Because all it leads for is heartbreak.

149
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: Like one times a championship, everyone else is going to

150
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 3: be heartbroken. If you don't have expectations, You're like, all right,

151
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 3: my team stinks. I expected that, But when.

152
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 2: When when you're this close, it hurts and it sticks

153
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: with you.

154
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: It is I mean it is. It is the emotional

155
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: energy of going through a long season and getting that

156
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: close and coming up empty.

157
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: I know what a feeling.

158
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: Man.

159
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: One of my good friends who's also a Niner fan,

160
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: we were texting and he said, you know, he got upset, Yeah,

161
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: really upset, and he had apologized to his kid because he,

162
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, may have said some unkind things

163
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: to the television. But after the game was over, his

164
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: son says, well, Daddy, shouldn't you be happy that they

165
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: at least got second place? And he's like, that was

166
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: like a kick, and then that's all over.

167
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: Second place, second place.

168
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 3: I posted the other day that this podcast has been

169
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 3: personally victimized by Patrick Mahomes, And if you think about it,

170
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: what more teams besides the Bills and the forty nine

171
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: ers have been bullied by by Patrick mah Like the

172
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 3: forty nine Ers two super Bowls in five years, the

173
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: Bills three playoff eliminations in four years, including probably the

174
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: most painful playoff elimination he will ever see. I don't

175
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 3: know what Ck Mahomes and the Chiefs beef with this.

176
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 2: Podcast is, but we stuck a little Super Bowl win

177
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 2: right in between there, and we're good to go.

178
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: You know what, the Rams, you know what you guys are.

179
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: You guys are the Houston Rockets. Oh my god, you

180
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: were the Houston Rockets. And look, the Rockets were a

181
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: really good team, right Elijahn was amazing. They also got

182
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: to the NBA Finals when Michael was off playing baseball,

183
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And I was like, look,

184
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: you guys earned it. Congratulations you won a Super Bowl.

185
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: You also, you know, thanks to Joe Burrow, you didn't

186
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: have to face the dragon slay or the Dragon. I

187
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: guess Joe Burrow is the dragon Slayer. You guys didn't

188
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: have to face the dragonmo is the dragon Slay.

189
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 2: That's true.

190
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 3: Thank god that my whole I have one beef with

191
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 3: everything going on right now. Okay, the Mahomes discourse. And

192
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 3: I know I'm gonna sound like a hater, and I admit,

193
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 3: he's the best quarterback in the league. He is the

194
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 3: best quarter most talented quarterback my eyes have ever watched.

195
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 3: But the Mahomes discourse is so annoying right now, like

196
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 3: it overlooks the fact that he is the best head

197
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: coach in the NFL who Andy Reid was talking about

198
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 3: what we're gonna do when the Super Bowl is in

199
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: overtime in the preseason, he has the best secondary in football.

200
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: I would say Chris Jones makes me like the reason

201
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: that brock Party didn't hit a yuk for a touchdown,

202
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 3: the reason Josh Allen didn't hit Shakir for a touchdown

203
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: is because Chris Jones makes a play in the biggest moments.

204
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 3: Travis Kelce makes the plays in the biggest moment. Mahomes

205
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: does as well, but it's a whole collect Their GM

206
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 3: is a genius. Like the Chiefs are the best rand

207
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: organization in football right now, and I know Mahomes makes

208
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: it a lot easier to operate in all of that.

209
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 3: But the way that the coverage is going, you would

210
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 3: think he went out there and beat the forty nine

211
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: ers one on fifty three. And to take it a

212
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 3: set from Bradler, people are making me defend Tom Brady.

213
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: My team is thirty three and thirty.

214
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: Four lifetime against Tom Brady, and I have to go

215
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 3: online and defend this guy. Look, if you're Tom Brady,

216
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: you played for twenty two years, you won more rings

217
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: than any team has ever won, you rewrite the every

218
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 3: record that that's out there, You retire, and everyone says

219
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 3: you're the goat. One year later they say you got surpassed.

220
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. What are we doing here? That's says

221
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: a long way not right now.

222
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 1: Look, man, he's got Look he's got He's got three

223
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: super Bowl titles before the age of thirty.

224
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 2: It's amazing. I guess.

225
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: My my take on this is, let's let this thing

226
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: play out. I think part of the problem I think

227
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: with sports conversations and especially on social media, is that

228
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 1: every game, every season is a referendum on somebody's career

229
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: or like it's I mean, look look at look at

230
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: Rock Purty on the other side, right, Like he was

231
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: either great or terrible. Either people thought he was the

232
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: MVP or thought he was trash. And that's why you

233
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: got picked last every single game, sometimes from play to play.

234
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: That's how people sort of sort of evaluated him, right,

235
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: And so now we're at a point where everything that

236
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: happens with Patrick Mahomes, every win is is he the

237
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: greatest of all time? Look, if for whatever reason, I'm

238
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: not predicting this, like let's say the Chiefs somehow flame

239
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: out in the first round of the playoffs next year.

240
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: Right then it's gonna be, well, he's not as good

241
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: as Tom Brady. Tom Brady would have won that game. Right,

242
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: It's let's just appreciate who he is right now. Yeah,

243
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: let's just watch this greatness. Let's see how far it goes,

244
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: and then look another five, seven, ten years from now,

245
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 1: whenever he's done playing whatever, then we can have that conversation.

246
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: That's our appropriate time.

247
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: But I know that doesn't move Twitter timelines.

248
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 3: This is the greatest six year run in NFL history.

249
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: I'm not I'm not gonna dispute that. I like to

250
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 3: start a career all of that, But to say like

251
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: he's on a trajectory to surpass, sure you could say it,

252
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 3: But why would we assume that the next six years

253
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: of his career are going to be just as good

254
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 3: as the greatest six year run in NFL history. Like,

255
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 3: it's flawed logic. And eventually Reid's gonna retire and Kelsey's

256
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 3: gonna retire, and they're gonna have to rebuild this thing

257
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 3: a little bit. And look, he's amazing. I have no

258
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 3: problem saying he's the second best ever as of now.

259
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: But like I mean, Tom Brady is he's like the

260
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 3: Babe Ruth of NFL. Like you look at his records

261
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 3: and you're like, oh yeah, that'll never be broken. And

262
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 3: his first year out of the league, people are already

263
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 3: saying he's no longer the best.

264
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 2: It's just crazy to me. It's Tiger Woods, right.

265
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: Remember Tiger Woods burst on the scene and immediately was

266
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: He's going to break all of Jack Nicholas's records, He's

267
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: going to destroy golf. He's going to rewrite the record book.

268
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: And from the beginning of his career it look like that.

269
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: Then things happened. There were alliances with you know, waitresses

270
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: and hostesses at family restaurants and all sorts of other

271
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: things that sort of derailed Tiger's career. And look, when

272
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, Tiger Woods is still going

273
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: to have an amazing career. He's still going to be

274
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 1: one of the greatest that ever picked up a golf club.

275
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: But it was a long way to Jack and and

276
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: you know, things happened, and so who knows what, who

277
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: knows what happens with the homes. But I just think

278
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: we just sit, We should just sit and appreciate it,

279
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: you know. Marvel at it, even if he's you know,

280
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: carving up your own team.

281
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 2: There could be multiple goats though, Like I don't know

282
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 2: why people don't go and lean into that conversation. There

283
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: could be multiple goats. Don't earn Twitter timelines? Oh goddo

284
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: Ronaldo is still playing? There both go to my book,

285
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: I mean, go to go to soccer Twitter and say

286
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: that right, No, no, no, no, I mean just all

287
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: you got to do is say Jordan or Lebron and

288
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: then you could close Twitter and.

289
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: Say, there you go. That's another one. I mean you

290
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: might want to just you know, mute conversation. That's all

291
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: it might be. The conversation doesn't move if you're like,

292
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: both of these guys are equally good and I appreciate

293
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: both of their careers, Like that just doesn't work, right,

294
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: It just doesn't.

295
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't draw engagement, It doesn't. Mahomes Brady is gonna

296
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 2: be the NFL's version of Jordan versus Lebron. Yeah, And

297
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 2: I kind of view it simply like Lebron is the

298
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: in my opinion, most talented basketball player I've ever seen.

299
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 2: Jordan is the goat. And that's kind of how I

300
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 2: view Mahomes and Brady, right, now, I mean.

301
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: For a while, that same thing wash Montana and Brady

302
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 1: for a long time.

303
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 2: And the game is different too from back into so

304
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: you have to play that into the factor as well.

305
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: The one thing I would say that Joe Montana never

306
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: threw us an interception in the Super Bowl, so Nana

307
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:47,479
Speaker 1: and Nana.

308
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: All Right.

309
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: This went on longer than I anticipated it big, but

310
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 1: I was like it was cathartic because this is the

311
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: first time I've really talked about it out loud, Like

312
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: I really have spent since Sunday night kind of sitting

313
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: with my feelings.

314
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: And kind of going over it.

315
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: I mean kind of just like sitting here in my

316
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: garage in the dark, like silly cold coffee and stuff

317
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: like that. It's been a sad site. Man.

318
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: I've never seen my team in the Super Bowl, so

319
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 3: I can't. It's not an apples to apples, But to me,

320
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: the worst part of when the Bills lose each year

321
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: is the next week being like, oh, all the joy

322
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: that I'm set, Like I should be so excited.

323
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: Right now, and that's kind of taken from me, at

324
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: least for you.

325
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 3: They play to the absolute final second that they could

326
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 3: have played. Literally Zero's on the clock and over too.

327
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, literally it was.

328
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: I also say that I'm glad that we're doing this

329
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: pot from home and not in the office because the

330
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: worst part is that NFL Network is going to replay

331
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: this game pretty much all week.

332
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 2: They're going to show.

333
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: Live, so when you look there are a lot of

334
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: great things about working for NFL media. One of the

335
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: worst is when your team loses in deep in the

336
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: playoffs or in the super Bowl and you got to

337
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: come to work and it's on all the TVs everyone,

338
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: every TV building, every TV Marcus can attest.

339
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 3: There was even more TVs in the Culver office and

340
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 3: I had to go there for ten hours the day

341
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 3: after the Goals lost to the Chiefs and just sit

342
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 3: there with that that game was on every channel all

343
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 3: and I was just like I was.

344
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: The difference, though, is in the cover office, we all

345
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: had like individual TVs on our desks, and I'm pretty

346
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: sure that I think I think I might have had

347
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: mine on MLB network all day, Like I think I

348
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: think I had it on any channel but NFL Network

349
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: that day because I just couldn't deal with it. All right,

350
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 1: we did plan to talk about other things than just

351
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: me lamenting about my team's poor ending in the Super Bowl.

352
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 2: It is.

353
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: It is back to draft season again, at least mock

354
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: draft season. I know we are slowly slogging our way

355
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 1: through our mock draft, but we wanted to do some

356
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: early ADP checks because you know, people are doing drafts

357
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: right now. We do have some ADPs forming, so I

358
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about, you know, where we think some

359
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: of these guys goes. It's too high, too low, what

360
00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: have you. This will be the first of I'm sure

361
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: mini between now and the time we get to August.

362
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 1: But also want to start with a couple of quick

363
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: news headlines, the first one being the New Orleans Saints

364
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 1: have reached out. They are going to hire San Francisco

365
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: forty nine ers passing game coordinator Clint Kubiak to be

366
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: their new offensive coordinator. So the coordinator carousel has been

367
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: spinning fast and furious since the season ended. So call

368
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: Clint Kubiak the new OC there in New Orleans. But Florio, look,

369
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: we love Chris Olave. Rashid Shaheed looks like he's blossoming

370
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: into a really nice fantasy piece. Alvin Kamara not the

371
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: same guy he was, but still occasionally has some juice.

372
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: Does any of this matter though? Without a change at quarterback.

373
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 3: Uh, we only have one year of Kubiak as in

374
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 3: oc as well, and he was a little bit more

375
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: pass happy than run heavy. But yeah, I don't think

376
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 3: a whole lot changes because we know who the quarterback is,

377
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 3: Like christ o lave, I think will kind of be

378
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: what Chris o'lave was last year. He'll have some big games,

379
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 3: he'll have some down games, and there'll be a lot

380
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 3: of us thinking like, well, what if they turned the

381
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 3: reins over to Jameis Winston or something like that, like

382
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: that could get the most out of the receivers there.

383
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: So the Saints I'm still viewing like I viewed last year.

384
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 3: I like their skill position players a lot. I just

385
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: I've never been a Derek Carr guy, and I don't

386
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 3: think he gets the most out of his playoffs.

387
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: Is a Derek Carr guy anymore?

388
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: Nah.

389
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: I definitely agree with Florio though, man, I kind of

390
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,200
Speaker 2: feel the same way about the Saints, you know, even

391
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: with this addition. I mean, it's good they're grabbing, you know,

392
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 2: from the Shanahan tree like some existence. But you know,

393
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: his time with the Vikings in nineteen to twenty one.

394
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: You know, with Kirk Cousins, he kind of elevated his

395
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: game somewhat, but you know, Justin Jefson definitely helped with that.

396
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: So I think, you know, Carr needs to keep the

397
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: momentum that he had the last four games. He had

398
00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 2: twelve touchdowns, one interception. So if that momentum continues on

399
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: next season with Clint, then you know we might be

400
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 2: seeing some you know, working out. But they need to

401
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 2: add to that offense. I mean, honestly, Chrisio Lovey can't

402
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 2: do it by itself. And I think Michael Thomas has

403
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 2: ran his course. I mean, Shahi Chi he's a big playmaker,

404
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 2: but he's more like a flash in the pan, like

405
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 2: he's not you're all around, you know, wide receiver. So

406
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: they got to get some additions in there man free

407
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 2: agency and drafts. Coming home, they got the fourteen pick

408
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: in the first round, so they got some options.

409
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: They do have some options, although like they're you know,

410
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what fourteen they're gonna get a game changing,

411
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: you know, franchise type quarterback, and I don't know that

412
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: they're going to go out and spend uh in free

413
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: agency to bring a guy in. So it does sort

414
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: of feel like it's the Derek Carr show there, at

415
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: least for the foreseeable future in this offense. So it

416
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: is about how much can Clint Kubiak sort of remake

417
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: this thing as a fantasy quarterback.

418
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 2: Derek Carr is who he is.

419
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting some big, you know, progression, some big

420
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: leap that's going to happen just because there's a new

421
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. There only request just throw it to Chrys

422
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: o'lave as much as you can throw it to him,

423
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: you know, one out of at least once a series, right,

424
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: once every set of four downs, Chrystal Love should get

425
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: a target. That's that's all I can ask for. Maybe

426
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: we can throw one in for rashiki heat every so often.

427
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, I I guess my My expectations for

428
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: the Saints aren't much different than they were before the

429
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: announcement of Clint Kubiak as the offensive coordinator.

430
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: I would like to see Jamis just because it's fun.

431
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you're not You're not gonna You're not gonna

432
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: win anymore with Jamas, Like James is gonna suddenly like

433
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: rise up and take you man. But I like fun

434
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 1: and Jamis is fun. So other news, we are still

435
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: about a month away from the start of free agency,

436
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: but the Bengals reportedly are expected to franchise tag T Higgins.

437
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: H Elk, what for you does this mean for guys

438
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 1: like Joe Burrow Jamar Chase with T Higgins coming back.

439
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 2: I mean that's great for them. I mean they have

440
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 2: a solid thing going on over there. He plays a

441
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: solid role as the wide receiver two. So I think

442
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: this is great for Joe Burrow, you know, for fantasy

443
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 2: obviously he comes back healthy and he can get it

444
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 2: together and Tamar Chase, but I think T Higgins needs

445
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: to stick with you know, what's working right now. I

446
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 2: hate for him to, you know, leave and pull a

447
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 2: juju where we think he's a one on another team

448
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: and he ends up not being a one, you know,

449
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: like the grass isn't always greener. So I think for

450
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 2: all parties involved, I think this is the right move

451
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: the franchise tag him because the season he just had

452
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: battled injury all season, so it's not like something he

453
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 2: wanted to put on tape to get the big, big

454
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 2: contract that you know, I think he deserves.

455
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: I mean, to your point, uh Antonio Brown tried to

456
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: warn us about juju.

457
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 2: He did, he did, but he says a lot of things.

458
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: Maybe he says a lot of things, but that doesn't

459
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: mean he's always right. You're saying enough things, something's going

460
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:55,160
Speaker 1: to be right.

461
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 2: And he was right.

462
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 3: I I think t Higgins could still Like I'm a

463
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 3: big believe un Te Higgins. I really did want to

464
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 3: see him go elsewhere to see if he can be

465
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 3: that true number one wide receiver, and I think he

466
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 3: can be. I think this is good for Joe Burrow

467
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 3: because we've never seen Joe Burrow without two elite weapons.

468
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 3: So to have those two elite weapons. It's what I

469
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: always say that the.

470
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 2: More continuity you get year to year, the less unknown

471
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 2: there is, the less risk. So the Bengals are who

472
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: the we thought the Bengals were last year, who they

473
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: were the year before. As long as this course stays together, Yeah,

474
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's the thing.

475
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: If te Higgins stays in Cincinnati, we at least know

476
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: what we're getting versus T Higgins going somewhere else. And

477
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: maybe he is the number one and or as LaQuan said,

478
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: maybe he's not, or maybe he's just not the guy

479
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: that we thought he could be. But in Cincinnati, we

480
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: know how things go. We know how this offense operates

481
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: as long as everybody's healthy. So we love consistency, we

482
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 1: love predictability. T Higgins in Cincinnati offers some consistency and

483
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: some predictability. All right, we're gonna take a quick break

484
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: dive into some of these ADP checks. We'll get through

485
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: some quarterbacks, running backs, and the whole host of things.

486
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: Stick around with us here on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.

487
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: So there are plenty of degenerates out there that are

488
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: doing fantasy drafts. I say that lovingly because look, man,

489
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 1: I'm in mock drafts. I'm sure at some point very

490
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: soon I will probably start doing some drafts on a

491
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 1: certain canine themed website.

492
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: I don't know care.

493
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: We just underdog, underdog. That's where these things are happening.

494
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: That's where these ADPs are from. I don't know if

495
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: we can say it out loud, if the if the

496
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: black helicopters can get me, well, then I guess I

497
00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: just wasn't meant to do great things.

498
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: Anyway.

499
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk some quarterbacks and running backs real quick.

500
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: When it comes to their ADPs. These are some that

501
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: I thought maybe either a little questionable or ones that

502
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure about. Ones Gonna get your opinions on

503
00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,159
Speaker 1: the first one being Anthony Richardson. Right now, he is

504
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: the QB six. Chances are you saw a video of

505
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: him sort of soft tossing, taking a warm up throw

506
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: a lot.

507
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 2: Of people in football Twitter. He got really excited about that.

508
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: But he's the QB six. He is one spot ahead

509
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: of Joe Burrow. I mean, Florio, are you down with that? So?

510
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 2: I love Anthony Richardson.

511
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind taking him at this price, but I

512
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 3: this is where we kind of need to rain ourselves

513
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 3: in a little bit. The people who are drafting right

514
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 3: now under Best Ball drafts in February before I've done one,

515
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 3: we're lunatics and we're crazy, and especially in this format,

516
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 3: rushing upside and that's what people target is the upside.

517
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: So I understand that Richard. I do think Richardson, if

518
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 3: things break right, because of how good of a runner

519
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: he is, he can be better in fantasy than Joe Burrow,

520
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 3: But come August, when all the normal people start drafting

521
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 3: and redraft starts getting drafted, Joe Burrow is gonna go

522
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 3: ahead of Richardson because I think he's a little bit safer,

523
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 3: he's more proven. That being said, yeah, I'm pumped for

524
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson. I love that he's already throwing ahead of schedule,

525
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 3: that he gets this full off season to work with

526
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 3: Shane Siken and the Colts. And I keep saying I'm

527
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 3: more excited about him this year than I was last

528
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 3: year because small sample size, but he's proven he can

529
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: run at the NFL level. Shane Siken has proven to

530
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 3: be a great play caller, not just getting the most

531
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: set of Gardner Minshew this year, but seeing what happened

532
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: to the Eagles offense without him.

533
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 2: Uh.

534
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: And then you add in that I think Drake May

535
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 3: is the only high end quarterback in this year's draft

536
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 3: class younger than him, and he Jj McCarthy is too,

537
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 3: but they're only a couple months younger than Anthony Richardson,

538
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 3: so youth is still very much on his side.

539
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 2: I'm I'm bullish for Anthony Richardson.

540
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how because you weren't. You weren't with

541
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: us on the show when you know this time last year.

542
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly where you fall.

543
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 2: In the Anthony Richardson conversation, ol Q, I am a

544
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: fan of him. I just think, you know, it's one

545
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: of those things like how Florida's until a little too

546
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 2: early for these little drafts going on. But I think

547
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 2: QB six, you know, I could see why it's there.

548
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 2: The rushing upside, he's going to be a red zone nightmare.

549
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 2: I mean just in those four games that he played, man,

550
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: you just see how electric he is on the ground

551
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 2: and through the air. So he has a best of

552
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: you know, the Fourth Worlds and he's just all around score,

553
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 2: you know, and he kind of flashed, you know, some

554
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: deep balls. You know, he had three completions of twenty

555
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 2: plus are yards in those games. He completed half of them.

556
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 2: So hopefully we can see a lot more than that

557
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 2: to kind of extend his game, to make him more

558
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 2: of a fantasy darling to actually be you know, QB six.

559
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 2: But I'm a huge fan of and hope that you know,

560
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 2: he gets his recovery back and no setbacks.

561
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: This is I think really about the rushing upside, right,

562
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,959
Speaker 1: I Mean, we didn't get a large sample size from

563
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: him last year, so while we are optimistic about what

564
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: he can be as a passer.

565
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: We're still not one hundred percent sure now.

566
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: And I was thinking about this because in the course

567
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: of a game, right eighty rushing yards works out to

568
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: being about two hundred passing yards, and so I mean

569
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: it's the reason that Justin Fields was such a very

570
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: good fantasy quarterback. And we've talked about this Florio on

571
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: the show about how if you are not going to

572
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: run a lot, and let's face it, Anthony Richardson is

573
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: going to run a lot more than Joe Burrow. If

574
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: you are not going to run a lot, you have

575
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: to be great and efficient as a passer. You have

576
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,399
Speaker 1: to have those Aaron Rodgers, you know, thirty five touchdown,

577
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: five interception type seasons, whereas if you're going to run,

578
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: there's a little more leeway there. I'm still not ready

579
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: to pull the trigger on Richardson ahead of Joe Burrow,

580
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: and especially if T Higgins comes back to Cincinnati, which

581
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: is what that looks like. I think a healthy Burrow,

582
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: you know, he's got two really good wide receivers, and

583
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase and T Higgins. We saw Joe Mixon really

584
00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: contribute to the passing game a lot this last year.

585
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: And while no one is going to confuse Joe Burrow

586
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. He'll get out of the pocket, he'll

587
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: run just enough when he's healthy. I mean, this past

588
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: year was sort of a wash. I mean, he had

589
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: the calf injury and just couldn't really get right. But

590
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: the year before, two hundred and fifty seven rushing yards,

591
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 1: five rushing touchdowns. That's not a bad addition to also

592
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: throwing for about forty four hundred yards. So I think,

593
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes in our haste and our excitement, we

594
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: sort of forget what some of these other guys can

595
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: do or who they are. I'm still about Joe Burrow

596
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: life ahead of Richardson. And it's not crazy like if

597
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: you take Richesson ahead of Borrow, I'm not gonna, you know,

598
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: call you names and poke, point and laugh. Right, It's

599
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: just not for me.

600
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: That's all. That's it.

601
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 1: Justin fields at QB ten and Laquhen, I saw that.

602
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: I thought that was really wicked low And I'm just

603
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: wondering if this is the uncertainty of not knowing where.

604
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: He's going to to be next year. Yeah, I think

605
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 2: one hundred percent that's what that is. It's just the

606
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 2: unknown of what the Bears are going to do on

607
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 2: draft day. I mean, if Justin Fields get shipped somewhere

608
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: where you know, he's not going to be very good.

609
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you're just gonna fade him. But I

610
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 2: think the uncertainty is why he's at QB ten right

611
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 2: now because clearly everything you said about Richardson, he has

612
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 2: the rushing upside and hopefully, you know, the Bears make

613
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 2: the right decision in keeping him. That's where I stand

614
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 2: on it. I feel like he could be, you know,

615
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 2: the franchise quarterback for the Bears if they actually take

616
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: the proper steps into building around them, you know what

617
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 2: I mean. So QB ten is like solid right now.

618
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: It's still early and may change and may go up

619
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 2: and down, but he's one of those quarterbacks you know,

620
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 2: if you know everybody's going to pass on him. Me

621
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: just being me, I'm gonna take him because he has

622
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: the rushing upside.

623
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: If he, let's just say, Flooryo, he goes to the Raiders,

624
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: Getsy is there, he is the offensive coordinator, they would

625
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: kind of have a bit of a reunion. Does that

626
00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: put him back up, say a top six quarterback? If

627
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: he goes to Las Vegas.

628
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 3: I think it puts him in that range. I think

629
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: QB ten, even not knowing where he's going to play,

630
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,640
Speaker 3: is way too low for Justin Fields because he's wherever

631
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 3: he gets traded, his legs are also gonna come with him,

632
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: so he's still going to be able to run. He's

633
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,239
Speaker 3: still gonna be able to put up close to one

634
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 3: thousand yards as a runner. He think back to two

635
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 3: years ago, he was a top five fantasy quarterback throwing

636
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 3: to the bad Saint Brown Brother and Dano Mooney and

637
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 3: he didn't have DJ Moore and those guys then, and he.

638
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 2: Didn't have anybody. Yeah, he got the job.

639
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: Done in probably what was a league worst offensive environment.

640
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: He could go to the Raiders, he could go to

641
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 3: the Falcons, he can go anywhere. And I still think

642
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 3: he's a top ten fantasy quarterback because of what he

643
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 3: does with his legs. So in our mack that we're

644
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 3: doing right now, I ended up drafting Justin Fields as

645
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 3: my quarterback. And if I was doing these early drafts,

646
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 3: I think QB ten is a by opportunity because I

647
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 3: think almost anywhere he ends up will end up seeing

648
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 3: him go higher than QB ten.

649
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: I mean, look if We're talking about drafting Anthony Richardson

650
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: ahead of Joe Burrow because of the rushing upside, like

651
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: why would why would Justin Fields be so low? I

652
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: think that's the hard part for me.

653
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 2: He has less weapons, I think than Anthony Richardson. I mean,

654
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: Pittman is a free agent, but you got JT there.

655
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: You know you have promising him downs. I mean, the

656
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 2: tight ends are stepping up in the Colts offense. So

657
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 2: it's more so what's built around him and why I

658
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 2: think Anthony and Richardson goes higher. Justin Fields, we're just

659
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: looking at DJ Moore and somewhat Cole Koment. Every other

660
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 2: week he shows up or whatever. So there's no actual

661
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: building pieces around him. So I completely.

662
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: Understand it, all right. I mean, I guess that's fair.

663
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 3: I mean, if they keep Fields in Chicago, then we're

664
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: probably seeing neighbors or Harrison or someone else end up

665
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 3: there with him.

666
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that though? Like that, I would be

667
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: them taking the actual building steps to build around Fields.

668
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: If you get a Marvin Harris junior and you have

669
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: DJ Moore, it's like you have the picks and then

670
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: you have whatever you trade, you know, swap at the commanders.

671
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: That's obviously the dream scenario that I'm thinking, But I

672
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: just feel as though, you know, they need to take

673
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 2: the proper steps of the build around justin field, bliding

674
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: around your quarterback.

675
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: That's that's a wild idea we could imagine.

676
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 2: We could imagine. The other one that.

677
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: Jumped off the page to me, Caleb Williams, the guy

678
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 1: who was the presumptive number one overall pick this this

679
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: draft season. He's a QB sixteen right now. That maybe

680
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: wasn't quite so surprising. I mean, everybody has been raving

681
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: about his talent for a couple of years now, waiting

682
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: for him to get to the NFL. What was surprising

683
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: to me? He's once spot ahead of Jared Goff. I mean,

684
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: golf was what a top seven? He was QB seven

685
00:33:55,800 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: this year, he was QB ten last year. I don't

686
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: expect any major changes in Detroit. I mean, you're still

687
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: gonna have aman Ra, You're still gonna have Sam Laporter,

688
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna have Jamiir Gibbs.

689
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: You're gonna have so many weapons there. LaQuan make it

690
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 2: makes sense.

691
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: Why why is and I love Kleab, but why is

692
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: he once about a heead of Golf.

693
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I think that's incorrect there. I

694
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,919
Speaker 2: think that's more so just the hype of his name

695
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,839
Speaker 2: and everything he's done in college. But me personally, if

696
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 2: he's a Bear, I'm not interested. I don't agree with

697
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:31,880
Speaker 2: that above Jared Golf. I mean that's gonna be an

698
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 2: issue for me because how many times you're gonna see

699
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: this story play out in Chicago. I mean, they can't

700
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 2: get it right at quarterback. They can't develop a quarterback.

701
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: I mean they have Shane Waldron there now, which you

702
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: know he has that kind of magic touch he kind

703
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 2: of had. Jack Golf played his best season career high

704
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: to this day twenty eighteen with Jared Golf under Shane

705
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: Walder and QB passing coordinator and stuff. So I feel

706
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 2: like they have somewhat the right steps in the position

707
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 2: to develop a quarterback. But Cale doesn't need development. He

708
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 2: needs a plug and play with Cliff. That's just my

709
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 2: dreams and era there. But I can see why people

710
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 2: are like, oh, Kayla Williams above Derek Goff. No, I'm

711
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 2: going to take the safe bet here with Jared Golf

712
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 2: over Kaylen Williams. If Cale Williams ends up the bear.

713
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this feels like a dynasty sort of thing,

714
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: right Florio. They just be like the dynasty folks are

715
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 1: in early and so like, you know, look, Caleb has

716
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: a longer runway than Jared goff is. That's all I

717
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: can really think of here.

718
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 2: But in what city? That's the problem, that's the huge problem.

719
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 2: It's the shiny new toy thing.

720
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 3: People always want to be first on a player in

721
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 3: fantasy and stuff, and Jared Goff is who we know, like,

722
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 3: Jared Goff isn't going to be a top five fantasy

723
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 3: quarterback or anything like that. Like he's a low end

724
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: QB one, I would say, And and people tend to

725
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: kind of be like, oh, well, this guy's a boring veteran.

726
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 3: I want to go with this shiny new toy. This

727
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 3: might come off as a hot take, and I can

728
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: change this.

729
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 2: I'm here for it. You might not love this one.

730
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 3: I think rookie year for fantasy purposes, Jayden Daniels is

731
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 3: the rookie quarterback you want to take because he's going

732
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 3: to be the one putting up numbers with his legs,

733
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 3: not Caleb Williams.

734
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a hot take. I think that's

735
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,959
Speaker 1: a fair take. The thing about Jayden Daniels I would

736
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,919
Speaker 1: be concerned about is again landing spot for him, right

737
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: because a lot of the early box have him going

738
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: to New England and that's a rough spot.

739
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 2: Spot. It's rough, and.

740
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: I mean right because I mean you've got a whole

741
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: change in coaching staff. I don't know how much of

742
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: a change in philosophy necessarily you're going to have with

743
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: Gerrod Mayo there as the head coach, but it definitely

744
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: an entire change in coaching staff and one of the

745
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: worst wide receiver rooms in the NFL, so he is

746
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: going to have to run a lot.

747
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: Now.

748
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: The other thing about Jayden Daniels that worries me. I

749
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,959
Speaker 1: don't know how many Jade and Daniels highlight reels you've seen.

750
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: That dude takes some wicked hits, just wicked hits. It

751
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: scared me in college. It's going to scare me a

752
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: lot more in the NFL. He's getting Like it's like,

753
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: I you know, I would see so many of his

754
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: highlights or so many plays from him in college at

755
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: LSU in so many of the tweets, like the reply

756
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: would be sonic getting all the rings knocked out of him, like,

757
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: that's that's what That's what it looked like a lot

758
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: of times when he was getting hit. That's a rough

759
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: way to go. That's all I'm saying. All right, let's

760
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: get over to this to some running backs. I got

761
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: a couple running backs here real quick before we take

762
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: a quick break. Kyen Williams the RB five, one spot

763
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: ahead of Jonathan Taylor. I'm going to go to you,

764
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: Flora on this one because we know what you know

765
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: the ram the guy in the Ramilly is going to

766
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: say about Kyrien Williams at five. I love what he

767
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: did this year. It was amazing to watch. He made

768
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: cam Akers expendable. I worry that Sean McVay and Les

769
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: snead are going to add some running back help and

770
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: he's not going to get the volume of touches that

771
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: he did this year.

772
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 2: That's why I don't know that I could take him

773
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 2: I head of Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, I think it makes sense.

774
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 3: I think Kian Williams is one of the players that

775
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 3: has the most to potentially lose this offseason because if

776
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 3: they don't bring anyone in or anyone significant in. He's

777
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 3: a top five fantasy running back.

778
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: But if they.

779
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 3: Do, then there's concerns there. I when I did early rankings,

780
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 3: I had Kyron ahead of Jonathan Taylor because of his

781
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 3: past game usage and the fact that I think he's

782
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,479
Speaker 3: on a little bit of a better offense and Sean

783
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 3: McVay loves force feeding his RB one, as Lakwan will

784
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: tell you. But the more I think about it, the

785
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,840
Speaker 3: more I'm like, Taylor might not have the pass catching

786
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 3: numbers that Williams puts up, but man him and Anthony

787
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 3: richardson running the option. It's why I was so bullish

788
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 3: on each of them last season, and it's gonna suck

789
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:46,879
Speaker 3: me in.

790
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know. I like Kien Williams.

791
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: I'm just worried about it.

792
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. You're the Ram fan here.

793
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: Do you believe they're going to go and add somebody

794
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: this offseason?

795
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 2: Run? Absolutely? As the Rams fan. They draft a running

796
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 2: back every year, that's just what they do. They kind

797
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 2: of want to play it safe.

798
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 3: Will it be like a Round five Just listen. I

799
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:07,959
Speaker 3: know they've had a lot of success in Round five,

800
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 3: but is it like a Day three pick? Because that's

801
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 3: a little different than than a significant investment.

802
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 2: It'll be like a Day two is three pick, but

803
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: they're adding a running back. I mean they saw, you know,

804
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 2: the production just go down, down, down once he got hurt,

805
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 2: and like he's building up a nasty little injury history,

806
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: you know, if we're really looking at it in the

807
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 2: first two seasons. So knowing McVeigh, he's going to stay ready.

808
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 2: So he had to get ready. So they're definitely going

809
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: to bring a guy. It may not be a veteran.

810
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 2: I don't want them to bringing a veteran, honestly, he'd

811
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: just be in the way. I just feel like they're

812
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 2: going to draft somebody you on that can really step

813
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 2: up ads to number two, or they'll just call Darrel

814
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 2: Henderson back and he's out there, he's, you know, happy

815
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 2: birthday to him, heavy belated. But I just feel like

816
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 2: they're going to add a guy, so surprisingly not, I

817
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 2: would take JT over Kyrin to be honest, because I'm

818
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 2: really excited for the Anthony richardson JT combination because we

819
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 2: didn't really get to see it at all last season.

820
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 2: I mean, once Anthony Richards got hurt, that's kind of

821
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 2: when JT came back, So it's like, I'm really excited

822
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 2: for that. That's going to be something to watch. So

823
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to take JT. Being that Anthony Richison is

824
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 2: going to be moving the change, You're gonna have a

825
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 2: lot of scoring opportunities and not saying the Rams or not,

826
00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 2: but I just feel like JT he could take it

827
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 2: to the house at any point.

828
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: Of the field, I think offensively, I think these two

829
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: offenses in terms of their production will look fairly similar, right.

830
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that one is significantly ahead of the

831
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: other in terms of its ability to move the ball

832
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: in terms of its ability to score points. So it

833
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: really is for me just a matter of watching and

834
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: waiting to see what the Rams do in their backfield.

835
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: I don't know that Williams gets much higher than RB five,

836
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: but if they add somebody else, and depending on who

837
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: that person is, how much jews that happy person has left,

838
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: he could fall quite a minute.

839
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 2: He can fall because I've actually seen Breece Hall in

840
00:40:57,120 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 2: conversation too there in the mix of that little Williams

841
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,360
Speaker 2: and JT situation there in mock drafts. So wait that

842
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 2: low really because I RB two Yeah, yeah, that's what

843
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,800
Speaker 2: I like. At like four or five in mock drafts

844
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 2: that I've been in recently. So it's like I can

845
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 2: see Breese Hall jumping overall like JT and kyrone.

846
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I mean right now, a lot of what

847
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm seeing is CMC one and Breeze Hall two. Uh,

848
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 1: and then you know the rest of everybody else can

849
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 1: fight it out. He figured it out that behind the

850
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 1: two of them for real.

851
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 2: Uh.

852
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: The other running back I want to talk about is

853
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,399
Speaker 1: Raheem Moster. He is the RB twenty seven and look,

854
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,880
Speaker 1: I get I get that. You know, we're all agreed

855
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: that he is not going to duplicate what he did

856
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: this past season. Right, twenty one touchdowns for Raheem Moster,

857
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: that that feels, if not impossible, highly improbable, right. I

858
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: mean we're talking about a guy who had a career

859
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:57,879
Speaker 1: total of nineteen rushing touchdown nineteen total touchdowns, I should say,

860
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: uh before the season. So in one year, he more

861
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: than doubled his career touchdown total and it's not gonna

862
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: happen again. I'm not gonna happen again. But he's also

863
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: going twenty spots behind Devon h Chan. I don't know, man, Flooral,

864
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: I just feel like these guys should be maybe a

865
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,280
Speaker 1: little closer. I get taking eight han ahead of Moster,

866
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: but twenty spots difference when they're both gonna have to

867
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 1: occupy space in the backfield.

868
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 2: That feels like a large, large gap.

869
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 3: It is, but I kind of understand it because one

870
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 3: there's concern about Moster are just falling off because he's

871
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: gonna be thirty two years old coming off of a

872
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: career high in touches after he had already been coming

873
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,120
Speaker 3: off of a career high in touches. But to me,

874
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 3: it's not even about Moster. It's just about how excited

875
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 3: I am to see Devon Chan in a larger role.

876
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 3: And the concern with him coming in was like does

877
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 3: he have this size to to withstand a full workload?

878
00:42:56,480 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 3: And I know it's different doing it for a couple

879
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 3: of games and for seven team games, And we saw

880
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 3: that happen with Alexander Madison. Great in spots, not great

881
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 3: when he is the guy for a full season. So

882
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 3: maybe the concern and the wear and tear for a

883
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 3: chen is there. But in the limited sample size we have,

884
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 3: he got better in games where he got fed the

885
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 3: ball and he is so explosive he can catch the

886
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 3: ball in the backfield, Like I think h Chen not

887
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 3: saying he's gonna get twenty touchdowns, but I think he

888
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 3: has the upside to be a league winner kind of. However,

889
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 3: he Moster did this past year, and I think that's

890
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 3: why people are pulling him up the board. It's not

891
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 3: I wouldn't. I think it's more about the excitement for

892
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 3: a chan than it is of being like, I want

893
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 3: nothing to do with Mostard. I just think people see

894
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 3: that he set the record for yards per carry and

895
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 3: just how explosive he is, and you're like, Okay, now

896
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 3: you put that with Tyree Kill and Jalen Wattle and

897
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:50,920
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel for a full season and.

898
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,240
Speaker 2: He could be the RB one.

899
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: Is it weird though, that that yards per carry thing

900
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,920
Speaker 1: is a little bit of a red flag. Maybe it's

901
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,920
Speaker 1: like a pink flag, a light red flag or something

902
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: like that, just because seven point eight yards per carry, right,

903
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: that's the insane number.

904
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 3: Uh?

905
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: And does he you know you mentioned Alexander Madison. Does

906
00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: he give us a little bit of Tony Pollard if

907
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: suddenly he gets a bigger workload right where he's not

908
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: ripping off these forty fifty sixty yard plays anymore, and

909
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: suddenly that's seven point eight yards becomes a lot more

910
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: human looking, like you know, three point seven three point eight,

911
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: you know, and when you figure Moster, it's not completely

912
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: going away in that backfield. And maybe they even know

913
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: sprinkle in another a third person somewhere along the line.

914
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Jeff Wilson or you know,

915
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: they just find somebody else. Savon Ahmed hangs around there

916
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 1: or something like that, just to take a couple of touches.

917
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 1: I just worry that we are getting way hyped. And

918
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: I think he's good. I just, you know, I feel

919
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: like there should be a smaller g Look. Last year,

920
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:55,919
Speaker 1: I was a guy who's like, let's say Raheem Moster

921
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 1: because he's gonna be the best value. I didn't again,

922
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,839
Speaker 1: I didn't think anti one touchdowns was coming from him,

923
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: but uh, it just seemed like the best value in

924
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 1: a backfield that didn't have a ton of clarity last year.

925
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's good at football, though, by the way, he

926
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 2: is very good.

927
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: Not gonna deny that, all right, I could take one

928
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,799
Speaker 1: more quick break. We'll come back talk some wide receivers

929
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: and tight ends. We didn't do some rookies as well.

930
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: That's coming up next on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast,

931
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 1: diving into some early underdog ADPs because a lot of

932
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: Usikos out there are drafting and God bless you for it.

933
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:39,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk some wide receivers here. And I stayed away

934
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: from Lakwan when we talked about Kyd Williams. I'm going

935
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: to against my best judgment, come right to you for

936
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: Poka Nakua. He's at wide receiver six.

937
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: I love one spot. That's exactly where he needs to

938
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 2: be at. That's a full send for me, just based

939
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 2: on I love everything that he's going to be doing

940
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 2: for this offense going into his second year with Sean McVay.

941
00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 2: Even if one of AJ Brown and Garrettill Yes, well

942
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson, oh see, I feel the opposite. I'm stuck

943
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: there that that's that's a good one right there, because

944
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 2: I've actually seen where I can swap them. But Pook Kakoua,

945
00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 2: you're gonna feel really really good getting him as your

946
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 2: wide receiver one in that first round. I really feel

947
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 2: as though you're gonna get a guy that's going to

948
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 2: see a ton of volume, a ton of production, and

949
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 2: he's a score, He's he be utilized anywhere on the field.

950
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 2: So it's like you got a guy that McVeigh is

951
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 2: really excited about. Cooper Cup still there, He's still going

952
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,799
Speaker 2: to be the number one distraction on that offense. You're

953
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 2: not gonna let Cooper Cup get open on man man.

954
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,000
Speaker 2: You're not gonna let Cooper Cup fly solo to double Pookah.

955
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 2: So therefore you're gonna get a ton of ton of

956
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 2: volume to Pooka Nakua. So if you're looking at one

957
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 2: hundred and something targets, that's what you're gonna get with

958
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 2: Pooka Koua and maybe even Cooper Cup. I mean, we

959
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 2: saw this happen in Charlotte Vay's offense. I mean you

960
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 2: look at it with Robert Woods and Cooper Cup back

961
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 2: then they both had one hundred plus targets and we

962
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: almost had and Cooks had a thousand yards. He almost

963
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 2: had three wide receiver have one thousand yards. So obviously

964
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,800
Speaker 2: sel Sarl mcvay's system with wide receivers is going to

965
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 2: work very well for you in fantasy as long as

966
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 2: they all stay healthy.

967
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 1: Who's the wide receiver one in Los Angeles?

968
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 2: One A, one B. You got a Cooper Cup pook So.

969
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: Then why isn't Cooper Cup going ahead of Pooka.

970
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 2: Naka Because the injury history and the age it's starting

971
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 2: to pile up. He's starting to have a little nasty

972
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 2: back end of his career with these nasty injuries. The

973
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 2: high ankle sprain is what really destroyed him, you know,

974
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 2: And I really feel as though now he comes back healthy,

975
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 2: he'll probably draw it back. He doesn't he doesn't need

976
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 2: to beat a superstar anywhere. He doesn't need to put

977
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 2: his body on the line. He's going to show up

978
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 2: do his job, and that's more so what his role

979
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 2: would be. All Right, I'll take a J. Brown over him.

980
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: I did take a J. Brown over him, and ar

981
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: Mock I took a J. Brown and I believe seven.

982
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: I think it was or eight. I think I'm at eight.

983
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: And then Bob Harris took Pooka. I think one or

984
00:47:58,800 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: two spots right after.

985
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 3: Going after AJ Brown and ahead of Garrett Wilson, because

986
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 3: I think Garrett Wilson's concerns are his quarterback is forty

987
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,720
Speaker 3: coming off with Tony Killes, if you go, if anything happens,

988
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 3: Sarn Rodgers, we know what happens to Garrett Wilson here

989
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 3: with the Jets, whereas AJ Brown and Puka stats were

990
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 3: almost identical. But Brown's done this multiple years in a row.

991
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 3: And I love Pooka, you guys know that. But my

992
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 3: thing with early round picks is I want to take

993
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 3: as little risk as possible, and I think AJ Brown

994
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 3: is just a little bit safer right now.

995
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: So looking at the splits last year when Cooper Cup

996
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: was there, Puka averaged three fewer targets per game, thirty

997
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: fewer receiving yards per game, about three fewer catches per game,

998
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: six fewer fantasy points per game. That's a significant drop

999
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 1: off over the course of the season.

1000
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 2: True, the numbers don't lie.

1001
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: You know, men lie, women lie. Numbers don't lie. I

1002
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: just that's that's the part that makes me scared about.

1003
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: Like we've seen a J. Brown eat with or without

1004
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: DeVonta Smith. We saw Garrett Wilson have a hell of

1005
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: a year playing with Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle and

1006
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: whomever else there in New York. Buka was awesome. He

1007
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,480
Speaker 1: was very good with Cooper Cup. He was amazing without

1008
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. I want I want something closer to amazing.

1009
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: If I'm making him the wide receiver six, I want

1010
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,720
Speaker 1: it closer to amazing than pretty good. And that's my worry.

1011
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 2: I think it could get better in Philly because this

1012
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,640
Speaker 2: is Lakwalin's boy. They brought in Kellen Moore.

1013
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's I think that's gonna be a

1014
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: big talking point this offseason two about what Kellen Moore

1015
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: is gonna do with this offense, how pass happy it's

1016
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: going to be. I think Jalen Hurts is you know

1017
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: all right now? I think he's QB two, which makes

1018
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: a lot of sense. He's a score, he's a scorer.

1019
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: And yeah, and exactly if Jason Kelsey comes back and

1020
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: I have another year that brotherly shove and I think

1021
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: that that's gonna work out. Well, here's one that really

1022
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: blew me away. Nico Collins is the wide receiver nine.

1023
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,760
Speaker 1: Did I miss something about Tank Dell Florio?

1024
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 2: Did he retire? And I didn't hear about it?

1025
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:11,399
Speaker 1: No?

1026
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 2: And the thing is, I don't know if you guys

1027
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 2: saw this video or not.

1028
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 3: CJ Stroud last week at Radio Row, I forget, I

1029
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 3: forget what show he was on or whatever, but they

1030
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 3: asked him to build his ideal offense in the NFL today.

1031
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 3: He picked as his wide receivers for the outsides Davante

1032
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 3: Adams and Jamar Chase. His slot receiver was Tank Dell,

1033
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 3: and people were like, where's Nico on this list? And look,

1034
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,280
Speaker 3: Nico Collins is awesome. I think Tank Dell is awesome.

1035
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 3: I've said it before. I think both are top twenty

1036
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 3: wide receivers. Pending them not bringing in another wide receiver

1037
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 3: because they do have some money this offseason. I'm just

1038
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 3: probably gonna take whichever one is cheapest. And there's no

1039
00:50:53,680 --> 00:50:56,799
Speaker 3: big analysis into that. But if Nico Collins is going

1040
00:50:56,800 --> 00:51:00,040
Speaker 3: wide receiver nine and Tank Dell is going two rounds.

1041
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 2: Later, I just would rather that value. That's a no brainer.

1042
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a no brainer, A no brainer. I just

1043
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 1: I like Nico Collins. Making him a top ten wide

1044
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 1: out just feels.

1045
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 2: That's crazy, that's too high. And I've been a huge

1046
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 2: fan of Nico for the past couple of seasons. But

1047
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,959
Speaker 2: I can't pull the trigger there, man, even though both

1048
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 2: of them like I got something here, and the nine

1049
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 2: games they played together, they both averaged sixteen Fantasy points

1050
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 2: per game together, and they legit in those games, two

1051
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 2: more Fantasy points than Nico has Tank Dell, so they

1052
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:35,160
Speaker 2: both can coexist. So I don't know if I could

1053
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,399
Speaker 2: pull the trigger that high though, at wide receiver nine

1054
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 2: for Nico with Tank Dell there as well.

1055
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 3: Producing laquantumy, I'm wondering if you might not have this

1056
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 3: in front of you or not. And I know they

1057
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 3: averaged the same, but my memory, at least, it felt

1058
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 3: like it was always one.

1059
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 2: Or the other week to week, like it exactly. Yeah,

1060
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 2: So they can both co exist, but it's one or

1061
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 2: the other. So I really feel as though the value

1062
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 2: here is obviously Tank. I'm taking Tank if he's three

1063
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 2: rounds later. Absolutely. I love Nico, but I can't spend

1064
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 2: that price.

1065
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: A zero chance I can make the I just if

1066
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:09,959
Speaker 1: you would tell me that to name you my top

1067
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: ten receivers for for next season, you could give me

1068
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,359
Speaker 1: fifty chances to make the list. I don't know that

1069
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,919
Speaker 1: Nico Collins makes the list ever, either would Tank, Like no,

1070
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: that's the thing. If you wouldn't with.

1071
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 3: These two, I'd be saying, give me Nico, yeah exactly,

1072
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,439
Speaker 3: this is yeah, And it's just.

1073
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,960
Speaker 1: It's not it's not about the players themselves. I think

1074
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 1: they're both good players.

1075
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 2: I think.

1076
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: I think the Texans have a fun offense that I'm

1077
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: looking forward to watching for the next couple of years.

1078
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 2: But I don't see either.

1079
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 1: One of them being top ten fantasy receivers right now.

1080
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,640
Speaker 1: That gets been one. So I I started this by

1081
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: looking at where Marvin Harrison Junior was right. He's currently

1082
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: a wide receiver eleven, and I started just kind of

1083
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 1: scroll down and seeing where some of the other top

1084
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 1: ranked prospects are. So Marvin Harrison is at eleven, Leak

1085
00:52:57,040 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 1: Neighbors is at twenty two, Romo Doonze is at thirty three.

1086
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,720
Speaker 2: Sort of convenience. It's all, you know, double numbers or whatever.

1087
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: And you know, in the mid draft we're doing, I

1088
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 1: mean we saw Marvin Harrison go fairly early. I took Neighbors.

1089
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,720
Speaker 1: I think a Dounsay went just after, not long after Harrison.

1090
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 1: I took Adonzay in round four or five. I believe

1091
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,399
Speaker 1: I'm not looking at it right now, but somewhere around there.

1092
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know how much you guys have

1093
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: dived into, you know, prospect video or evaluations just yet,

1094
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: but when you you know, Harrison's the guy we've been

1095
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: talking about for a couple of years now. Neighbors and

1096
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,320
Speaker 1: Odonze have really built a name for themselves over the

1097
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: past year or so. But at this point eleven, twenty two,

1098
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: thirty three, lookw on flag planting, wish casting or are

1099
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: people right on this? Uh?

1100
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 2: Still early? They might be right, I mean just based

1101
00:53:48,719 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 2: on we don't know where these guys are going. I mean,

1102
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 2: we could look at mock drafts, you know, projections and

1103
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 2: stuff like that. But I feel like I feel comfortable

1104
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,320
Speaker 2: with Marvin Harris junior wide receiver eleven because we know

1105
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 2: he's a generation talent and we know wherever he goes,

1106
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 2: he's the guy. Like, there's no other question. He's going

1107
00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 2: to be fed. There's no way you draft him for

1108
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 2: him to be a two or three or anything else.

1109
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 2: He is going to be fed. Now when Malik Neighbors

1110
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 2: at twenty two, I like it. I mean, he could

1111
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 2: be a nice little at a piece. He's a big man,

1112
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 2: a big player, but you know, a Dooonday seems like

1113
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 2: the value here because I feel like he's going to

1114
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 2: be an all around weapon where you could utilize him

1115
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 2: anywhere on the field, so he may go to an

1116
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 2: offense as a solid two. You know, and then be

1117
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 2: able to get some nice things going.

1118
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: How much are you waiting, Floria, or are you drafting

1119
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 1: rookie wide receivers now or are you preferring to wait

1120
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 1: until they actually have a home somewhere.

1121
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,480
Speaker 3: No, I would be taking them right now. And in

1122
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 3: our mock, I just pulled it. I was the one

1123
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 3: who took Harrison in round three. The other two both

1124
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:54,200
Speaker 3: went in round five. It's something I talked about a lot,

1125
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 3: a lot after this season. Is like, you look at

1126
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 3: this year, just this year, Pokin Nakul, the wide receiver

1127
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 3: for you had. Jaden Reid was a top twenty five

1128
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 3: wide receiver. Jordan Addison was a top twenty five wide receiver.

1129
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,759
Speaker 3: Zay Flowers just missed that. And the thing was last

1130
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,280
Speaker 3: year's wide receiver class was quote unquote a bad wide

1131
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,560
Speaker 3: receiver class, whereas this one is generational. We've seen for

1132
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 3: years now rookie wide receivers can come on and make

1133
00:55:23,760 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 3: an immediate impact. I mean, we've seen some historic rookie

1134
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 3: years in recent years. So yes, landing spot is going

1135
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 3: to determine their ADP a whole bunch, But right now,

1136
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 3: I feel like, because of the unknown, you're getting a

1137
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 3: discount baked in on them already a little bit. It's

1138
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 3: possible they could fall a little bit further, but it's

1139
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:45,720
Speaker 3: also very possible they get pulled up the board even higher.

1140
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,399
Speaker 3: So I have no problem. In fact, I actively would

1141
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 3: be trying to take rookies now because if they fall

1142
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 3: to the right spot, they're gonna go.

1143
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:59,240
Speaker 2: And like Marvin Harrison Junior, look a lot could change

1144
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 2: in tune half months, but I feel pretty confident today

1145
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 2: saying he's going to be Kyler Murray's wide receiver one

1146
00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 2: next year.

1147
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: So now that's now that that right there, I think

1148
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: you hit on the key, right Where does he go?

1149
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:15,319
Speaker 1: Because the two spots that he's being mocked to a

1150
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: big canyon in what production could be because if he

1151
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: goes to Arizona, I think you absolutely lock him in

1152
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: and I think that bumps Kyler Murray up the board

1153
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: as well.

1154
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, he could go to New England.

1155
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: That's the other spot in which in which in which case,

1156
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 1: who's throwing football? You know, like you need a quarterback first,

1157
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:39,800
Speaker 1: who's throw if if if MHJ lands in New England,

1158
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 1: who is throwing him the football?

1159
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 2: Is it mac Jones? Is it Bailey? ZAPPI is it,

1160
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:50,160
Speaker 2: I don't know who do they Jones right side Jameis

1161
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 2: Winston at that point, and just.

1162
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean do they do they do they try to

1163
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,840
Speaker 1: reunite with Jimmy Garoppolo, bring him back to New England

1164
00:56:56,840 --> 00:56:57,880
Speaker 1: and see if they can run.

1165
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 2: It back that way nostylogia right.

1166
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that is going to play a

1167
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:07,200
Speaker 1: big key in what happens with with Marvin Harrison's draft project.

1168
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 2: But for now, people are definitely, I think, planting a flag.

1169
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 1: And I think you know Mike Dempsey, who he and

1170
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 1: Bob Harris do a great show on Sirius XM. I

1171
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 1: was talking with him last week, and I thought Dempsey

1172
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,560
Speaker 1: made a good point in that I think a lot

1173
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: of people right now are just sort of planting the

1174
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 1: flag and just proving that, hey, look these guys are

1175
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 1: worth taking and kind of showing that you're gonna have

1176
00:57:26,600 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: to go early if you want any.

1177
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 2: Of these top level wide receivers.

1178
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: So we'll see how things change between now and say July,

1179
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 1: once we know where these guys land. A couple of

1180
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,200
Speaker 1: tight ends real quick. Tray McBride at tight end three,

1181
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 1: one spot ahead of Mark Andrews, I know McBride was

1182
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 1: very good. Kyler looked like he was getting back into

1183
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: shape last year, Florida. Are you cool with McBride at three?

1184
00:57:51,960 --> 00:57:55,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Andrews climbs a little bit.

1185
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,160
Speaker 3: But I keep saying it to me, there's four tight

1186
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 3: ends this year that I think are the clear cut

1187
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 3: top four in Laporta, Kelsey McBride.

1188
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 2: And Andrews.

1189
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 3: And I think it'll be one of those things where

1190
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 3: like you could look at ten different sets of rankings

1191
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 3: and they could each person could have them in a

1192
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 3: little bit of a different order or something like that.

1193
00:58:15,800 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a wrong answer. I McBride was

1194
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 3: awesome on the yards per route ram basis, he's gonna

1195
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,960
Speaker 3: get a little bit more help we hope, at the

1196
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,920
Speaker 3: wide receiver position, and then Kyler being healthy and all that.

1197
00:58:28,080 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 3: So yeah, I don't think it's crazy. I just don't

1198
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 3: think there's a definitive like you have to have these

1199
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:34,720
Speaker 3: four tight ends in this order.

1200
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: I think I think one and two are set right.

1201
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,000
Speaker 1: I think Laporta's gonna be one and right now there's

1202
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: a pretty sizable gap between where Laporta is going and

1203
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: where Kelsey is going, but those are your one two.

1204
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 3: I think after that it's sort of close. Now that

1205
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 3: Kelsey said he's not retiring.

1206
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 1: I think I don't know. I think I think a

1207
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: lot of people are still big on Laporta more so

1208
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: than Key.

1209
00:58:57,080 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.

1210
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 3: He's my tight end one, but I think people I

1211
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 3: think the fear that he might retire might have scared

1212
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 3: a little some people off.

1213
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 2: Maybe.

1214
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: I think after that, though, like you know where you go, three, four, five, six,

1215
00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: I think you could probably go any number of orders.

1216
00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 1: You know.

1217
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 2: Definitely sad that we're not gonna see t J.

1218
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: Hawkinson for much of the year after his injury came

1219
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 1: so late in the season. Here Tyler Higby, Yeah, same guy.

1220
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 2: Crazy? Wait, I'm sorry what the same guy that injured

1221
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 2: t J. Hockinson injured? Oh?

1222
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 1: I thought you were trying to say that t J.

1223
00:59:36,120 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: Hawkinson and Tyler hid were the same player. And I

1224
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: was like, I was like, this might be the.

1225
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 2: Last time you're on this show.

1226
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:45,480
Speaker 1: Different but say, I was like, wait a minute, Okay,

1227
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,040
Speaker 1: I'm glad we got that cleared up. Okay, cool. But

1228
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: the other signing name that I think is going to

1229
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: be what the hype train has already left the station.

1230
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 2: Uh, get on board.

1231
00:59:55,960 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: We're gonna start shoveling coal into the engine regularly is

1232
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 1: brock Bowers because this man destroyed college defenses for three

1233
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 1: seasons and we're coming off as we're coming off a

1234
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 1: year where the tight end one was a rookie, where

1235
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: you had other young tight ends.

1236
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 2: Look, Dalton Kin kid is a good player.

1237
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: He had the misfortunate of having to share a role

1238
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: with Dawson Nots, which sort of kept his production down.

1239
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: But we've seen a lot of young tight ends go

1240
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: out and be productive. I still think there's hope for

1241
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: a guy like Michael Mayer in Las Vegas to go

1242
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: out and be productive. Brock Bauers, in terms of being

1243
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: a prospect, is ahead of where all those guys were landing.

1244
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: Spot's going to be important. But right now he's at

1245
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: tight end seven. I mean, lakwan, does it stay there?

1246
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 1: Does it get higher as we get toward the you know,

1247
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:52,360
Speaker 1: the summer?

1248
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 2: Oh, it'll get higher once we find out where he's going.

1249
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 2: And if he's going where I think he's going, if

1250
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 2: he's going to the Chargers, it's definitely going to rise.

1251
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 2: I mean after seven and you basically have like guys

1252
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 2: that you can be okay with. But the dude is talented.

1253
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 2: I literally just got done watching highlights of him. This

1254
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:12,600
Speaker 2: dude is going to be amazing for Fantasy because, man,

1255
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 2: this dude can break tackles, contested catches. This dude is

1256
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,040
Speaker 2: an overall playmaker. He's basically a wide receiver. He's like

1257
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 2: Trade McBride if I could make the comp I really

1258
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 2: feel like those two are guys that are weapons that

1259
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 2: could just take over the game at any point. So

1260
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,080
Speaker 2: there's the thing about him going to the Chargers.

1261
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Ah, Yes, he easily surpasses Gerald Everett, right, he makes

1262
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett expendable.

1263
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 2: They can move on without him.

1264
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: I worry will these targets be there with Greg Roman

1265
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: and Jim Harbaugh running the show offensively? Like, maybe they

1266
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: won't be as run heavy as they have been in

1267
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: the past, but that is their mol when they are together,

1268
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: they send to run the football a lot. I mean,

1269
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: it's the reason that when they hired Greg Roman, we

1270
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:00,440
Speaker 1: all sort of pour went.

1271
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 2: Out for Justin Herbert.

1272
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: And how much is that going to impact Zay brock

1273
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,480
Speaker 1: Bauers if he shows up there in Los Angeles?

1274
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 2: That is the only thing I am worried about.

1275
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: But in terms of just prospects, yeah, brock Bawers is

1276
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: gonna be a guy that I'm gonna try to draft.

1277
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be different.

1278
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 2: Last year, you were able unless you were.

1279
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: In the league with super sharps or people who super

1280
01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: study college players. You could draft Sam Laporta really late,

1281
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:30,880
Speaker 1: right like and I like Sam Laporta. I drafted him

1282
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: late and a lot of drafts and it turned out

1283
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: that he was the best tied end on my roster.

1284
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: You're not going to be able to do that with

1285
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: brock Bowers. You can't get brock Bowers in round fifteen.

1286
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen.

1287
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 2: No, absolutely not.

1288
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean where right now, right right now? Where do

1289
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 1: you think brock Bauers is going Floria?

1290
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 2: What nine? Ten?

1291
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: Me earlier?

1292
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I could definitely see something like that, like

1293
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 3: eight through ten range.

1294
01:02:57,360 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say eight too. I don't think

1295
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 2: it's crazy.

1296
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 3: Not only like the Laporta thing last year, but in

1297
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:08,000
Speaker 3: five of the best twelve rookie fantasy tight end seasons

1298
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:10,520
Speaker 3: in terms of fantasy total fantasy points have come in

1299
01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 3: the last six years, like the whole rookie tight ends

1300
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 3: can't produce. It's not true anymore. You just need to

1301
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 3: know the title. Like, Yeah, if you're blocking tight end,

1302
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 3: you're not going to produce here one. But if you're

1303
01:03:22,560 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 3: a almost a wide receiver type tight end like brock

1304
01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 3: Bowers is uh. I think that disguise the limit. The

1305
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 3: only thing that maybe hurt his stock, and I'm sure

1306
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 3: you guys have seen it, is this picture of him

1307
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 3: going around social media where he looks like he's an

1308
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 3: accountant and.

1309
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: Like a like a coder, like you should be sitting

1310
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 1: in front of a computer with like a giant thing

1311
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: of like you know, code red Mountain Dew or something

1312
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: like that, like that, you can't help me with my

1313
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: computer exactly like you know, like he's the dude at

1314
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: geek Squad you hand your laptoe laptop two or whatever

1315
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: and the Yeah. Although, to be fair, I mean Tom

1316
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: Brady and that infamous combine photo didn't look anything like

1317
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: the greatest quarterback of all times, Couper Cup.

1318
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 3: He also didn't look anything like Tom Brady looks like

1319
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 3: now true true.

1320
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup looks like Cooper Cup currently looks like a

1321
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: craft brewer, right, like like like he's gonna you're gonna

1322
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: come to his house and he's going to try and

1323
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: offer you, like some mead that he's making in his

1324
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:22,320
Speaker 1: like shed outback said, looks.

1325
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 2: Like bagging groceries at Wegman's.

1326
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup definitely has friends who don't know what he

1327
01:04:27,320 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 3: does for a living. And then they're like, wait, you

1328
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 3: work every Sunday, Like like he just doesn't look the part.

1329
01:04:33,600 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: No, it's totally like, yeah, we call Cooper, but he

1330
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:38,320
Speaker 1: never shows up on Sundays. I don't know what he's doing.

1331
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: Who knows, right, can't to our.

1332
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:42,439
Speaker 2: Book club on Sundays? Right?

1333
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: He?

1334
01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1335
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: He says he's busy. I have no idea what he's doing.

1336
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:46,640
Speaker 1: I think he's making it up. He's just trying to

1337
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 1: avoid us.

1338
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 2: Who knows? All right?

1339
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: Anyway, we have been going for a while, mostly because

1340
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 1: we ranted for a lot of things about the beginning

1341
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: of the show. Anyway, that'll do it for this one.

1342
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll check some other ADPs we are. By
