00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,080

61
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: a wild crazy report last night that Marshawn Lynch is

62
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: considering a return to football and he could be targeting

63
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: a week four or five return. MG. No, well actually

64
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: uh yeah no, uh and then uh and then actually

65
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: uh I was off of Twitter last night, but MG,

66
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: you filled me in on some Marshawn news this morning. Yeah. Um,

67
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: Mike Michael Robinson, who obviously does some stuff here the

68
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: network and was a teammate of Marshawn Lynch, buddy buddy

69
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: with Seawn, definitely buddy buddy with the Beast Mode. Uh,

70
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 1: talked to him and he put a little something out

71
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: on Periscope today which has been picked up and retweeted.

72
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: And the key quote from it and I will read

73
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: it as as transcribed by Ian Rappaport, I called Beast

74
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: Mode record this. Everybody, Marshawn Lynch is retired. He told

75
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: me from his own mouth. There it is. That's it. Well,

76
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: I've been here to whole been retired the whole time now. Okay,

77
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: But to be fair though to my Florio, like if

78
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: Marshawn says today he is tired. That doesn't necessarily he

79
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: didn't necessarily say I'm never coming back. Now, I think

80
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: Marshawn's just an agent of chaos at this point, Like

81
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: and he's and he's enjoying trolling the whole NFL and

82
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: fan bases, Like why else would he throw up his

83
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 1: cleats on the telephone wire thing right at kickoff of

84
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Why else right before kickoff of the

85
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: next season, when he slipped to Mike Floral. Yeah, Bro,

86
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: I might be coming back. He's just messing with everybody. Uh,

87
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: it wouldn't even like at the beginning of the Super

88
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 1: Bowl is like in the apex of it, when it's like,

89
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: oh god, this is getting so bad. Right, wasn't in

90
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: the middle of the Super Bowl? And I thought it

91
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: was right at the beginning, I don't remember. I was like,

92
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: I remember the picture of the picture was so awesome.

93
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: Picture was awesome. Anyways, whatever, look fantasy was. I don't

94
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: think it makes There's no don't go, don't go pick

95
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: him up just in case or whatever. Just don't don't

96
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 1: do it. Leave him be he's chilling you just chill too.

97
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: Beast is chilling. Bro, He's gonna be on running Wild

98
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: with Barren Rills. Though yeah, yeah, I need some of that.

99
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: I need some of that in my life. Um let's

100
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: go to New England. Gronk says he's a quote game

101
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: time decision, tells reporters that he's again quote not and

102
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: says Sunday versus the Arizona Cardinals, he will be a

103
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: coaches decision. Whoa uh. If you're a Gronk owner, that

104
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: is not what you want to hear. Anyone else think

105
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: this is just Gronk being like, yeah, I'm just gonna

106
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: chill till Brady gets back. I don't think. I think.

107
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: I think this is really that Gronk wants to play.

108
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: And I mean he's kind of already pushed this thing

109
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: off onto the coaches and team doctors. He's already given

110
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: an out, a scapegoat in case he doesn't play. The

111
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: reason I think it's not that what you're saying, Franchise

112
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: is the fact that I remember when they had that

113
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: joint practice with the Bears and he quote unquote pulled

114
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: up and he got the trainers were looking on looking

115
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: at him, and then he, uh, you know, got his

116
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: hamstring treated for the next couple of weeks he still

117
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: He says he's still recovering from his hamstring um and

118
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: knowing his look, I know that he played the full

119
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: sixteen the last two seasons, but prior to that he's

120
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: had a long injury history. I would imagine he wants

121
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: to stay healthy here. So I don't know, man, if

122
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: if Martellis Bennett is out there, which I doubt, Yeah,

123
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: come on, which I doubt. If he's there, he is

124
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: currently owned in about NFL dot com leagues. You know

125
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: those other those other are probably just not active. Well

126
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: here here's I will say that on in other on

127
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: other sites, he is at s on one other site,

128
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: and then he's at seven percent on another side. Uh,

129
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: so he's most likely gone in competitive So I will

130
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: say because if you have grownk at some point you

131
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: need at least start considering having another option just because

132
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: grunts of Sunday night games. So that doesn't lead you

133
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: with a whole lot of choices. So if you want

134
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: to go early, and we talked about this in case

135
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: you you know, didn't catch it Today's Friday's NFL Fantasy Live,

136
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: we kind of talk about that and start of the show.

137
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: If you're willing to go early, I'm just looking at

138
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: some of the ownership percentages on NFL dot com. Jerry

139
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: Cook is a twenty one. Uh you know, Eric Ebron

140
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: is at seven percent. You know. So those are a

141
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: couple of guys you can maybe get a little bit

142
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: earlier in the week if you just don't want to

143
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 1: really risk it, if you wait until later. A guy

144
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: that I like, here's a three point seven percent Vance McDonald. Oh,

145
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: we're going danger Zone now, and he goes Monday night

146
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: because he's the last He's literally the last game of

147
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: the week. They're the late game on monkey. So if

148
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: you want to wait, if you want to wait, um,

149
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: you know, Vance McDonald. I think it is a cant out.

150
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: Another one I wrote about him for Deep Dive this

151
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: week Jesse James. He's another name that gets mentioned screens

152
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: on the pup. Heath Miller was it was a good

153
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: like got a healthy amount of targets back in the day,

154
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: even when Todd Haley and Ben Roethlisberger were there. Not

155
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: a sexy pick up with the questions everywhere else in

156
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: that in a game that could you know, turn into

157
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: a shootout. Absolutely, Jesse James is great because then both

158
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: those guys like he said, Marcus m to Night Ones.

159
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: If Gronk is all of a sudden out, last minute boom,

160
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: pull him out. You've got one or two options to

161
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: throw in here, like Jesse Jesse James call and I

162
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: love the Vance McDonald pick two. Jesse James is six seven.

163
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: The US do not have another real, like big wide

164
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: receiver that's established himself. Marcus Weats highly questionable for Monday night.

165
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: Uh so you're pretty much looking at injury wise or

166
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: just saying highly questionable to start, well, both, but he is.

167
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: He's he's pretty easy questionable right now the actual injury

168
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: report that morning. But yeah, yeah, it just it just

169
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: came across the wire, I think, so, yeah, he could

170
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: be the big red zone target either way. But also yeah,

171
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: like we know, Sammy Coats is not established himself, so

172
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be uh Jesse James inside of the twenties. Hey,

173
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: going back to the whole Vance McDonald thing, Chip Kelly

174
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,840
Speaker 1: has a pretty good history of getting his tight ends involved.

175
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: I thought we saw pretty good chemistry between Blaine Gabbert

176
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: and Vance McDonald at the end of last year. There's

177
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: lots of life there and that part is a big

178
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: reason that I'm you know, really advocated for him if

179
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: you need to tie it in, because I look, first

180
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: seven games of last year, vance McDonald average about two

181
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: targets per game. Right last seven games of the year,

182
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: when Gabert had taken over the quarterback, I went up

183
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: to five targets per game. And we saw a lot

184
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: of him in the preseason as well. So you know,

185
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,719
Speaker 1: look at there are a lot of factors I think

186
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: kind of piling on that make McDonald an option to

187
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 1: look at this week. I like it, I absolutely like it.

188
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: All right, how about in Kansas City Jamal Charles now

189
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: looking like he is doubtful, Uh, spencer Ware should get

190
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: the start, although Andy Reid being Andy Reid being very

191
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 1: elusive about the the workloads split in the backfield. Um

192
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: Manu again, this is a big blow to fantasy managers

193
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: who invested a late second round, maybe even an early

194
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: second round pick on Jamal Charles. If you've got Jamal, um,

195
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: I'm assuming spencer Ware is gone, you know. I take

196
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: that back. Actually, I take that back because in a

197
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: lot of leagues people don't know about spencer Ware. He

198
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: was going on drafted in a lot of leagues, although

199
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,599
Speaker 1: in more recent drafts, we started seeing ownership percentage for

200
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: Spencer Wear go up considerably. So, uh, if you have

201
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, what do you do? Well, let's assume. Oh

202
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: can I say this too? Uh. We talked about the

203
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: backfield share, like, I get that everyone is excited about

204
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: Spencer War and I'm one of those guys. Man, I've

205
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: got Spencer Wears the top ten running back um in

206
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy in Week one because the Chargers are just atrocious defensively,

207
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 1: especially against the run. But Charick Hendrick West, remember was

208
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: the guy when Jamal Charles went down first last year.

209
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: I got it was And and the reason that Spencer

210
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: Wark got so many of the first team raps is

211
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: because Charck Hendrick hurt his elbow during preseason game, a

212
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: game by the way that he started. So I don't know,

213
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm throwing out there. I know it. It's

214
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,480
Speaker 1: again we talked about it not being sexy or whatever,

215
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: but hey, Chuck Kendrick West, He's He's available in almost

216
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: every single year. I think West is going to have

217
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: a role at least maybe a little more as a

218
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: pass catcher. But where it seems like everything we've heard

219
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: out of there and seen and what they both put

220
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: on tape last year? Where where should be the guy

221
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: getting the touches? And if he's not, then perhaps the

222
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs know something we don't or just looks past how

223
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: good Spencer where was last year? Right? Yeah, West was

224
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: ahead of where on the depth chart as the number

225
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: two this week. But I think we should probably just

226
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: stop paying so much attention to the depth You're still

227
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: as unofficial, right and and those all get put together

228
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: by like interns, which you know, no offense to interns,

229
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: but you're not the head coach except for the Seahawks

230
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: step chart where Seawoke is listed as the army that's official. Well,

231
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: I also, I mean, I do think when when every

232
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: piece of news from the off season goes counter to

233
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: what the depth chart says, then we should probably ignore

234
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: the depth chart in favor of everything that we've read before, which,

235
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: like you know that that goes in line. Both of

236
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: your things they're going line, but just had to get

237
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 1: the Sea walk men. But anyways, my I agree with you.

238
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: I think that West is going to figure into the

239
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,200
Speaker 1: equation though because he is. He's a talented player too.

240
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: They gave them both extensions this offseason. We're so early

241
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: in in the year, obviously week one. Uh that if

242
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: you drafted Jamal Charles, obviously it's devastating because you again

243
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: you spent just such an early round traffic and what

244
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: a beautiful matchup. This is Oh my gosh, San Diego,

245
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: what a great matchup. But I'm assuming you've got somebody

246
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: on your bench. Uh, if you don't, you probably had

247
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: one of the worst drafts. Well. And even even you

248
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: drafted Jamal Charles, this has been coming for the last

249
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: week or so. I mean there has been talk that

250
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to. Look when I first heard this news,

251
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: I was just thinking, that's glad Andy Reid caught up

252
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: to where we've all been for the last week. Um,

253
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: because Jamal Charles has been kind of on this trend

254
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: of not playing. So hopefully you've been prepared for this. Yeah,

255
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 1: And there were, like Carmen said last week, like there

256
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: were whispers about where being involved even if Charles was healthy, Right,

257
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: So where was starting to get on the radar there?

258
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: Now that if Charles doesn't play, where's like I feel like,

259
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: where's going to be? The guy? Is Adam Tisher, the

260
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles whisper I mean, this guy was this guy

261
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: was saying this a month ago, that Spenser where it's

262
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: gonna start. I will go back and go and make

263
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: to your other point though, James, Just to let people

264
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 1: know if Spencer where is gone, which he very likely

265
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: is in most leagues. Now, Okay, A couple of the

266
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: guys to consider this week would be Darren Sprowles. He's

267
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: getting scooped up a lot more as the hype out

268
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: of Philly keeps growing for him, and Chris Thompson too,

269
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: at least for one week. Both guys are pass catching

270
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: specialists in games that could turn into really high scoring

271
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: affairs even in standard leagues Like that's if you need

272
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: a plug and play guy for week one that you

273
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: know you can get some production and touches out of that.

274
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: Both of those guys would be people I would look

275
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: at right away on the waiver wire. I think Chris

276
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: Thompson too. I mean, they utilized him a lot last year,

277
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: and even if even if they've got their you know,

278
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: normal running backs, uh, Matt Jones and Robert Kelly, they're

279
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: gonna utilize Chris Thompson, They're gonna use him. Yeah. Alright,

280
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: let's talk about Kevin White. He's got his hamstering. He's

281
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: dealing with it. Limited in practice on HER's day. Uh,

282
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: didn't quite get the practice report today for Friday, So

283
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: we'll see. He is not going to be available to

284
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: talk to the media on Friday, which is normally not

285
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: never a good sign. If they don't make a player

286
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: available to talk to media, then when they're injured, that's

287
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: never a good sign. So we'll see. But UM, I

288
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: know a lot of folks have invested in Kevin White,

289
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: mostly because, um, what we've seen of j Color is that, well,

290
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: you know, yes, he's gonna go to Al Shan a lot,

291
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: but he likes to go to his number two receiver.

292
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: It's a this is a Matt harm special. It's a

293
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: concentrate passing attack. Uh. And that's what That's what Matt

294
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: Harman is And when you look in Chicago, that's kind

295
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: of what they got now. Yeah, except right now it's

296
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: going to be concentrated between al Sean Jeffrey and Zach Miller.

297
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: Give me all of the al Sean Jeffrey, UM, give

298
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: me all of Alhan. I'm a guy who did draft

299
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: a year ago. I drafted Kevin White on a dynasty

300
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: team and I am still I'm still waiting, still hoping,

301
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: but just judging by what little we have seen of him,

302
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: what little he's been on the field, he's still a

303
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: work in progress. He's still a ways away. And I

304
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: think I think a lot of people knew that. I remember,

305
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: you know, earlier this offseason talking to Maurice Jones Drew

306
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: and one of the things he said was always I

307
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: heard that. Um. One of the things he said was, UM,

308
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: be aware of the guy who was the one year

309
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: wonder in college. And that was a little bit of

310
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: Kevin White that we didn't hear much about Kevin White

311
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: until that last year at West Virginia. So I don't

312
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: know if that, you know, I don't know if that

313
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: plays into it. I still want to believe, you know,

314
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: this is really, honestly his first true year in the NFL.

315
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: But I think we're crazy to believe we're gonna get

316
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: any real solid production out of him this year. I

317
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: think the recent folks were so ridiculously excited is because

318
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about a physical specimen that is, I mean,

319
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: a special athlete six three two fifteen pounds. He ran

320
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: a four three five forty come on now, and he

321
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: was gonna be the number two. He wasn't coming in

322
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: and asked to be the number one. But like I said,

323
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: I know MJD said that on his two. I'm not pulling,

324
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: you know, pushing the panic button and Kevin White because

325
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: he's missed all of the most valuable reps for like

326
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: a rookie to get So that hurts. But I want

327
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: to mention one more thing with the Chicago offense that

328
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: concerns right now too, is that Kyle Long is also

329
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: listening listening to his questionable Now. Granted, people need to

330
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: remember when you look at these injury reports and here

331
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: people are questionable, they have taken away the probable tag

332
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: injury reports. That's good point. So it's not all it's

333
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: not all cliff diving like, ah, it's not you know,

334
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,239
Speaker 1: it's not every time you see questionable. But but it's

335
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: worth noting that if Kyle Long actually misses this game too,

336
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,440
Speaker 1: the Bears offense, like quarter like Cutler and Langford could

337
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: be in for a world of hers. I want all

338
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: of the Texans defense like this week, stream me the

339
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: Texans defense above everything. Give me all the Texans man.

340
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're streaming quarterbacks, I think brock brock

341
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: oswater is good play. I think Lamar Miller certainly has

342
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: the RB one overall in his range of outcomes this

343
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: week on Akins and Fuller should both eat against the

344
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: banged up secondary. I mean, I think that, God, I

345
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 1: really think that Texans are gonna wax the Bears. Don't

346
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: They have like two or three d backs that are

347
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: out or something. Kyle Fuller is like one of the

348
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: best ones, is still as questionable, and I think Evans

349
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: Nickel cornerback is questionable. Both of them are. Both of

350
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: them are on the injured report with limited participation on Thursday.

351
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, you mentioned you brought up a

352
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: good point about the probable designation getting RITO that so,

353
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, questionable used to be fifty fifty proposition. Now

354
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: under the new rules, questionable basically goes from like, if

355
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: there's any question at all is if if they're going

356
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: to play, they can be questionable, So that's down to

357
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: fifty and then yeah, so basically questionable can be you,

358
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, you tweaked your knee really bad and can

359
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: barely walk, or you have the sniffles R. So basically

360
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 1: everybody's question everybody's questionable. And then anything but low fifty

361
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 1: percent and correct me if I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure

362
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: this is true. If it's less fifty percent, then you're

363
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: just you're down, You're doubtful. I guess, I guess it's

364
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: it's a it's a tough not great. It's not great

365
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: because full in the past used to mean almost for

366
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: sure you were not going to play. It's almost as

367
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: if things in the NFL I don't want to percent transparent.

368
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't money or injuries or anything. I

369
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 1: can't imagine that coaches are going to use this at all,

370
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: you know, and any sort of clear away. You know,

371
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: a guy like Bill Belichick was gonna be completely on

372
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: the level with it. John Fox, we should jump to

373
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: Thursday Night and keep moving here. We got a h

374
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: Thursday Night reaction twenty great game, it was pretty fun.

375
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: What a good game it was. What a great way

376
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 1: to kick off the season. The Panthers loose again again.

377
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: They haven't won a game in seven months, and they're

378
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: on their way to own sixteen. But James co I

379
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: have a question for you. What's up, brother? Are you

380
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 1: ready to believe in c J Anderson? Dude, I'm on board. Hey,

381
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 1: look here, here's saying I know you were saying, hey, man,

382
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: you know questioning my my cow loyalties with C J

383
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 1: Anderson last night. Here's that I didn't. It's not like

384
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: he was on my Jonathan Stewart list. Speaking of which,

385
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,479
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, Jase dude did not look bad last night.

386
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, hey, but he looked Okay, Yeah, but you're right,

387
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: he looked good. But I think last night was like

388
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: the perfect encapsulation of why he's just such a pain

389
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: for fantasy because he's Cam, because Cam Newton steals his

390
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: touch too, right, because he looks great, but who cares?

391
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: Because he got like fourteen carries for sixty something young,

392
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: I mean, doesn't look he's four yards per carry. I think, Yeah,

393
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: I think the fact that he ran hard and looked

394
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: good against a very good defense is encouraging. What also

395
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: is encouraging to me is the fact that we didn't

396
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: see a whole lot of other guys getting any run

397
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: in there. We saw a little bit of Fozzy Whittaker.

398
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: Dude was a freaking healthy scratch. They did a lot

399
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: last year too, So you know, yeah, we're always gonna

400
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: have to contend with Cam, and I'm not really concerned

401
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: about Mike tilbert Um. This is Jonathan Stewart's backfield totally, totally.

402
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: It's just a really small pie that he's eating. All

403
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 1: of it is. It can be frustrating. I think the

404
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: Cam runs were much more of a design, a scheme,

405
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: a schematic thing for this Cam. He's not going to

406
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: run that often and with all the shots that he

407
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: took in this game that's big Like last year. What

408
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: happened to is, remember Jonathan Stewart didn't get much run

409
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: in the in the goal line to start the year,

410
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: but then after Cam is getting hurt on his great pace,

411
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: they switched those roles and gave it to Jay stew

412
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: a lot more. In the red zone. He ended up

413
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: being like the second I had the second most carries

414
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: in there. So I think he'll still get his opportunities.

415
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: But you're right in a tough spot. This is one

416
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: of those frustrating games for Jay Stu. I think he's

417
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: just got an ugly, like an ugly week to week

418
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 1: floor and like a a whatever ceiling. I mean, this

419
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: is Jay Stup period. That's what I've been said. I

420
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: don't understand the fifth round grade on j stew when

421
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: this is what you're you should be expecting fifty to

422
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: sixty yards every single week. Maybe he drops in a touchdown,

423
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: but on average, this isn't what you should be expecting.

424
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: They were playing one of the best defenses in the league.

425
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: You're gonna but but but on a per like a

426
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: per touch basis, he was great against a really good defense.

427
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean I think this is I don't

428
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: see why you should expect anything different than this unless

429
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: he I mean, he might get twenty carry sometimes and

430
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: then you'll get eighty yards. C J. Blew up. J

431
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: stew had a nice looking game. How good Tom waiting.

432
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for mark Ingram to go off on sending

433
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: James spinning hold on. Here's here's how good c J.

434
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: Anderson looked. He looked as good as he's always been

435
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That the ship last time when he

436
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: had injuries were foolish. This is this is the same

437
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: running back since or whatever when he first broke out. Sorry,

438
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 1: I'm t lizarding hard over here. Last night when he

439
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 1: was joking people and bowling guys over I'm like, oh wow,

440
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: I can't remember the last time Ronnie Hilman did that.

441
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: Which was never, which was never. Uh. But this this

442
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: is what I would say though C. J. Anderson last

443
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: night did look like he was in better shape week

444
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: one uh than he had been in week ones previous.

445
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: For sure, he had an injury from the get go

446
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: last year ago and two years ago too, he was

447
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: did not look he was in the best. He's also

448
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 1: kind of buried on the depth chart. I think the

449
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: other important takeaway here is Trevor Simeon used him as

450
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: kind of a safety valve in the passing game. He

451
00:22:56,240 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: looked good to Trevor Simeon, looks fine. He looked from

452
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: a football standpoint, he looked fine from a fantasy standpoint.

453
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: Do not want no, no, yeah, yeah no. I would

454
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: never take him in fantasy. I just thought against that

455
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: Carolina defense, uh, we're talking about a guy who's getting

456
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: his very first NFL star. I thought his pocket awareness

457
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: was really good. I know he had those two picks,

458
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: which is not great. One wasn't really like like the

459
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: one he got batted down and then a right that

460
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: one's I don't know if that one's on him necessarily.

461
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: The other one too, he got his arm hit when

462
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: he threw it, so I don't know man, like I

463
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: think against lesser comp I think he's gonna be I

464
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: think he'll be more than fine. But the only reason

465
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: I bring up Simeon because I thought he looked very

466
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 1: capable from the quarterback position, uh, is that I know

467
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders and to Maryus Thomas didn't have great stat lines.

468
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what, it makes me feel a

469
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: lot more comfortable having shares in Sanders and Tom. The

470
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 1: one thing to remember two is they had three turnovers

471
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: inside the thirty yard line, so opportunities like and then

472
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 1: the one time they were really like in the zone,

473
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: Anderson got the goal line touchdown his screen passers from outside,

474
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: so like, it's not it's also not a panic button

475
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: moment for these two because they will get opportunities in

476
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: the red zone. The team just turned it over there

477
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, and by the way, Cam is still Cam.

478
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god. We seriously got asked a question before

479
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: the game last night. Someone was like, brock Oswiler, Cam

480
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: Newton what and like if people overrate these matchups, like yeah,

481
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: don't think too hard about it. No, seriously, like it's

482
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: week one, you drafted Cam Newton and probably what the

483
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: third round like why even Yeah, why would you bench

484
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: him in the first game if you invested such a

485
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: high pick in him? It's just silly. And then Cam

486
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: Newton comes out and proves why he's one of the

487
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: best fantasy quarterbacks in the league. So well, I mean

488
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: you mentioned it, fantasy quarterbacks. I mean he's he put

489
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: up good, solid running back numbers fifty four yards and

490
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: one touchdown rushing. Yeah, I mean not great quarterback numbers

491
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: less than two hundred yards, but picked up another touchdown there,

492
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: So Cam Newton. Uh, still right, good f y, I

493
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: still pretty good. All right, let's get Uh do you

494
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 1: want to talk Benjamin? I'm sorry about that. Yes, Ken,

495
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 1: you were. You tweeted out some stuff last night and

496
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: we're talking about it. Just some interesting things from Benjamin,

497
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: like an obscene target share. Yeah, he had thirty eight

498
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: point seven percent of the team targets, which was twelve overall.

499
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: He caught six for ninety one yards and a touchdown.

500
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: I mean it was clear right away. Like for all

501
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 1: the talk that you Jabronies were doing about Devin. Oh no, no, no,

502
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: no Jabronies in this room. I'm talking to just General Jabron,

503
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: General Jabronia. Like for all the talk from the Jabronies

504
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: that Devin Funchis is going to be better than Kevin Benjamin.

505
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: It was clear from the first drive who the number

506
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: one receiver is from that team, the guy who got

507
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: all the targets, the guy who, like Benjamin, I think,

508
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: played maybe two snaps on that I mean, fun just

509
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: played maybe two snaps, and one of them was as

510
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: a that they used him as a blocker and one

511
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver set. I didn't understand why people this offseason

512
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: thought that he was Benjamin had forgotten how to play football.

513
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: So it's a really complicated, long discussion that we don't

514
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: probably have time. Let's not get into it. But but

515
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's like it was a wrong, incorrect take.

516
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: Don't die on bad take. Hill like Benjamin is the

517
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: guy here. I think that they probably do need to

518
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: spread the distribution out. I think like But at the

519
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: same time, it was though, I mean, look at who

520
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: else they got. I mean, first of all, Greg Olsen

521
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: got nine targets and seven catches. That's about right. I mean,

522
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: I get that Kelvin Benjamin got twelve targets and six catches,

523
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: But I mean, who else are they gonna throw to?

524
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: Corey Brown, Devin Funches, Ted Kin Jr. These guys don't

525
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: have good hands, but I think those guys can all

526
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 1: play like the offense. Yeah, they're They're most commonly used

527
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 1: package was the three wide receiver set. They played that

528
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,919
Speaker 1: on thirty five of their of their plays, which was

529
00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 1: by far the majority of the formations that they used.

530
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: So I I liked the idea of spreading the ball

531
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,120
Speaker 1: out a little more. But like I said, it's clear

532
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: that they wanted to get Benjamin up to speed and

533
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: he passed his first test like that was a big thing.

534
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: Like can he even play a full compliment of snaps?

535
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: He only played about fifteent, but that was still pretty good.

536
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: A lot of folks were worried about the the snap

537
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: count or whatever, him being out of shape or getting

538
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: into game shape. Uh, those concerns put two rests. Yeah,

539
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 1: all right, let's get to a high profile guy. You

540
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 1: guys are considering benching week one. A common question that

541
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm seeing on Twitter. Uh should I bench Jarvis Landry

542
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: versus the Seahawks? I think it's a pretty good question.

543
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it, but I wanted to see what

544
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: you guys thought. I mean, unless you have a lot

545
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 1: of other really great options. I mean, unless you went

546
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver heavy in your draft and you have a

547
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: lot of options there, um, I wouldn't. I still think

548
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: that even with a tough defense on tap, Landry is

549
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: going to see I mean, we just talked about the

550
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: target share in the Panther offense, and I think it's

551
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: gonna be similar in the Dolphins offense when it's Jarvis

552
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: Landry and then everybody else playing for second place there. Well,

553
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: so I just wrote about this for my next Gen

554
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: Stats Matchups column that came out on third I should

555
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: read it NFL dot com slash harmon. Yeah, you could

556
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: do that. That's the thing that that you should do. Uh,

557
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry versus Richard Sherman, Like he's never going to

558
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: see Sherman. I think that's what I don't think people

559
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,400
Speaker 1: freak out about like they see O Seattle. But Seattle

560
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: is actually pretty weak in the middle of the field. Uh.

561
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: They gave up a hundred and nine two of over

562
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: two hundred yards to Marcus Wheaton in the slot last year.

563
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb went for ninety seven yards out of the

564
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: slot against the Seahawks last year. That's just a general

565
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: area of the defense that they struggle in, even though

566
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: they are a great team. Even the sad pass catching

567
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: trio of Kamar Aching, Jeremy Butler and Daniel Brown from

568
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,639
Speaker 1: the Ravens last year got over a hundred yards out

569
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: of the slot against the Seahawks last right, a lot

570
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: of sadness there. So if you're gonna beat him anywhere,

571
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be in the slot. It's gonna be in

572
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 1: the slot. And also DeVante Parker might miss this game

573
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,959
Speaker 1: because he's shock are still not healthy. So I think Landry,

574
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: especially in a game where I think Miami's gonna get

575
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: the doors blown off him in Seattle, like they're gonna

576
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: be throwing a lot from behind, he could push for

577
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: like over fifteen targets and you know it might not

578
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: be the sexiest stat line, but he'll still be giving

579
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: you a fine floor. Arian Foster auto bench bench. I

580
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: wouldn't any other Dolphins this week. All right, there you go,

581
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman versus the Cardinals. Tough, he's not washed. This

582
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: is one hell of a narrative You've been on for

583
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: a few I mean it started in the Hot Takes

584
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: episode and now it's just just kept it going. I

585
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: just just kept a going thing. I respect about franchises.

586
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: He certainly has no problem doubling down even I think

587
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: if you don't really believe something, most of us turned

588
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: the burners off on our hot tanks. Franchise kept this

589
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: one on simmering. I like it. Okay, So Julian Edelman

590
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 1: versus the Cardinals, Uh no, Tom Brady and again that

591
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: defense for the Cardinals looks like it could be Chandler

592
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 1: Jones revenge game guys. Possibly no Gronk too, So get it? Okay, Well,

593
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 1: let's just say Gronk is in. Uh, let's say he plays.

594
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: Is Julian Edelman? Again? I look at this matchup, man,

595
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: and I think it's a fifty fifty proposition as to

596
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: whether or not you should play Julian Edelman because he's

597
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: saying you mentioned if you went wide receiver heavy. I mean,

598
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: first of all, his draft value was in the fifth round.

599
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: It's very possible you've got somebody, uh that you drafted

600
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 1: after Julian Edelman that you could play over him. Yes,

601
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: I think I feel better about Edelman if Gronk plays,

602
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: because he is such a magnet for attention wherever he goes.

603
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: And like I know, Edelman gets attention to, but uh,

604
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: with Gronk there, that's one really big piece that you

605
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: always have to account for. So I would feel a

606
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: little bit better if Gronk doesn't play, then I don't

607
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: think I want any parts about Pierce. The thing we

608
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: talked about Richard Sherman not traveling, you know who does

609
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: travel with Patrick Peterson. Patrick Peterson's good and I imagine

610
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: he's going to be locked up aunt Julian Edelman. Am

611
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: I wrong in saying that Tyrone Matthew hasn't even been

612
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: on the injury report, so he's probably gonna be a

613
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: full go. And they've used him to lock They used

614
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: him to lock down Jimmy Graham when they've played them before.

615
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be surprised if they put him on

616
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 1: Gronk just because he's so good and even though he's

617
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: tiny compared to Gronk, he could he could, you know,

618
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: give him a run for his money. So I think

619
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: he's a great tackle here the way. So I'm just

620
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: I'm I'm scared of this matchup. I didn't draft Edelman

621
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: hardly at all, or if at all, and if I did,

622
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna be starting him this week. There among

623
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: cornerbacks that played over two hundred snaps, no, no cornerback

624
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: was targeted less than Patrick Peterson last year. Everybody shadows everybody,

625
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: So if he shadows Julian Edelman, that's gonna be by

626
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: all right. Let me ask you this, would you rather

627
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: play Michael Crabtree against the Saints Julian Edelman all day? Exactly?

628
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: That game is gonna a track meat sat That's Saints

629
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: Raiders game is gonna be a track meet. And I'm

630
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot of potential shooting as many people as

631
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: I have from that game I'm trying to start this

632
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: week there you how about DeMarco Murray VERSUS Minnesota? Do

633
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: not want you know? I know I just pooped all

634
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: over DeMarco Murray a few podcasts ago, but I kind

635
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: I kind of like him. In Week one. Was talking

636
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: about this also in the next in stats column to

637
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: the Vikings really struggled defending running backs. Oude of the

638
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 1: I formation, Melvin Gordon got him for four carries and

639
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: fifty one yards and a touchdown in preseason. Thomas Rawls

640
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: and Todd Gurley also gave him trouble last year. Out

641
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: of that, both the Titans running backs Derrick Henry into

642
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: Marco Murray tore it up in the I formation, changing

643
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,800
Speaker 1: over five yards of carry in the preseason two uh so,

644
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: and Murray was effective out of all formations too, so

645
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: and I and he ran as the first team back

646
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: pretty much all through preseason, so at least to start

647
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: the year, he'll be the guy over over Henry. And

648
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: I think that the Titans are there at home, they're

649
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 1: playing a team that's starting either an ancient, ineffective likely

650
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: Sean Hill, or a guy that's been there for two

651
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: days in Sam Bradford. Yeah, to Marco, Murry has always

652
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 1: been more effective. It's as when I would do game

653
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: day blitz with m J D and Ike last year,

654
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: they would always say because he and Chip Kelly's offense,

655
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: he didn't fit, as we said numerous times, and they

656
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: just like put him in the dot. I mean him,

657
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: put him straight behind that quarterback because then he's not

658
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 1: as fast as he was his Offensive Player of the

659
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: Year campaign, But that as him to get ahead of

660
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 1: steam and that's when he's great also to be able

661
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: to make those reads a little bit easier than than

662
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: than what he can do in the shotgun. Um. But

663
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: again we we look at that Minnesota. Here, here's the

664
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: problem with starting a guy like DeMarco. I think the

665
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: I think the Vikings, and we're gonna get to this

666
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:00,959
Speaker 1: in our matchups too. I think the Vikings are going

667
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: to run the crap out of the ball, and the

668
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: Titans have already said they're going to run the crap

669
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: out of the game will be over in two hours,

670
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You know what I mean.

671
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: And again, in the Minnesota defense, we know is one

672
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: of the best defenses in the NFL. Maybe not a

673
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: great fantasy defense, but I tell you what, in terms

674
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: of limiting points, limiting possessions, Minnesota is right there. I'm

675
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 1: just really worried that this is gonna be the game's

676
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: gonna be over so fast. I don't know how many

677
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: scoring opportunities are going to be available for either team. Yeah, well, people,

678
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: people are scared of the Vikings matchup for the running backs.

679
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: They only allowed five rushing touchdowns last year to running backs,

680
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: but they allowed the strong upfront uh nearly fift hundred

681
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: rushing yards, which is about the middle of the pack

682
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: last year to opposing running backs. You know, It's interesting too,

683
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: was what remember Week one when Carlos High just ran

684
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: stopped all over and we didn't realize how special of

685
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: a performance that was until later in the season when

686
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,479
Speaker 1: Minnesota was so good. But there's going to be one

687
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: of those again this year where Week one we all

688
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: somebody goes crazy, I'll over analyze it, and then it

689
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: had just backs to the North c J Anderson. Really,

690
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: people have been saying it might be Calvin Benwick could

691
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 1: have been Well, we might have already said it might

692
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: have already happened. All right, there you go. Jeremy Hill

693
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: taken on the New York Jet on the jump on

694
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: this one first, because I added it because this is

695
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: a question I've gotten a lot from people being worried

696
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: about starting Jeremy Hill. Under the defensive front. They allowed

697
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: close to the fewest yards in the league last year.

698
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: I think they only allowed like one rushing touchdown or

699
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: four maybe something o'b scene like that. However, this game,

700
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about benching Jeremy Hill because they're missing

701
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: Sheldon Richardson for this game one game suspension from drag racing.

702
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: They lost Snacks Harrison in free agency, and on top

703
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: of that, Like the Bengals seem to want to run

704
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,000
Speaker 1: a lot more and Jeremy Hill looks rejuvenated. They've only

705
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: got really A J. Green is a dynamic pass catching option.

706
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: He could be on Revis Island. So they're gonna, like

707
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: feeling is, they're gonna look to pound Jeremy Hill early

708
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,399
Speaker 1: in offense to set up play action other things like that.

709
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: And if they get near the goal line, Jeremy Hill

710
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: is going to be their best red zone threat. They

711
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: don't have Tyler Eiffert. Again, Green' is probably gon be

712
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: on Reriva's island, not that he can't get off of it,

713
00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: but Hill's going to be their best option when they

714
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: get close to the goal line. So I think he's

715
00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 1: he's got a good shot to get at least double

716
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: digit points this week. I don't disagree with that. Can

717
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:11,839
Speaker 1: we can we talk a little bit more about A J. Green?

718
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: Because I got in that question to A J. Green

719
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 1: on quote unquote Rivas Island. Um, And this is what

720
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: I told somebody on Twitter. I'm like, Rivas Island don't

721
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: exist normal, Like if he's lost a step, he's still

722
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 1: a good player, still a good player. It's more like

723
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: a resort island now, not like super resort. It's not

724
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: like the Tom Hanks castaway. It's more like, well, I'm

725
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: on this island. There's some stuff to do, but like

726
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: I'd rather be somewhere else. There's no cocktails on the island,

727
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: there's no you know, there's no shrimp. But you're still

728
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: chilling on You're still chilling on the beach. I got you, No,

729
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't think Rivas is quite as

730
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: effective as he was in the past. I'm not worried

731
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: about A. J. Green. I do think Tyler Boyd's sneaky

732
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: play here. Um, but again, I'm not worried about A J. Green. Man.

733
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 1: You first, come on, I mean, you spent first round

734
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: traffick on AJ Green. You're not benching the dude. We

735
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: one get out of here. Stop with these questions. Sometimes

736
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: get out of here again. Like Marcus said, don't overthink it.

737
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Revas is still a very good player. I

738
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: mentioned those cornerback stats from next Gen stats earlier, and

739
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 1: Revs did allow the lowest catch rate of any quarterback

740
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: or any cornerback last year. Gotta mix in my words

741
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: up again, uh, cornerbacks last year. So he's still a

742
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 1: very effective player, but yeah, he's not like a straight

743
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: up just don't start anybody again, you can play a

744
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: guy like a J Green against him. Agree, Let's talk

745
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: about a low profile guy you would start instead of

746
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,719
Speaker 1: one of these guys that maybe you have some concerns about.

747
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: And again, I do love the fact that, by the way,

748
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 1: we just finished drafts and like, and people are already

749
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 1: playing the matchups. You know what if? I absolutely like

750
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: that's where fantasies at these days. It's not a not

751
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: a set and forget it thing. People really are into

752
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: it and really want to win. It's really fun. It's

753
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: really fun to be a part of it. Is I

754
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. Um, all right, let's talk about a

755
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: low profile guy that that I've gotten a lot of

756
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: questions about. How about Corey Coleman Cleveland offense versus Philadelphia.

757
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: I got a feeling this is gonna be a little

758
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,800
Speaker 1: bit of a shootout. Um, I'm really excited about this matchup.

759
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: What say you, guys? I'm okay with it. I I

760
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be as much of a

761
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 1: shoot and I think I think you're gonna have to

762
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: fairly inept offenses you know, throwing jabs at each other

763
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: all day. But I do like the Browns passing game

764
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: in this one against that Eagle secondary. I actually, uh

765
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: I predicted that the highest scoring player from this game

766
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 1: would be r G three, right, uh So I think

767
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman benefits from that. It was it was very

768
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,919
Speaker 1: weird to look at the Brown's depth chart and see

769
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: that they're starting wide receivers are Corey Coleman and Terrell

770
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: Prior Senior senior um narrative. Here we go. But you

771
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: know it's not. It's not a dazzling line up just yet.

772
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 1: But I do think they will take advantage play Corey

773
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:46,319
Speaker 1: Coleman over Julian Edelman. Oh, I would take a long

774
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: look at it. Yeah, that's a hard one. I don't

775
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: know if I would, but I would certainly take a

776
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: long look at it. I do it in a heartbeat.

777
00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 1: I think I would probably. There you go. Fantasy is

778
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: also about having fun, and it'd be more fun to

779
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 1: me to watch and root for a Corter Coleman big

780
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: play and Julian Edelman to catch a four yard touchdown

781
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: if they get near the red. Speaking of jabs, good god,

782
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: how about Sterling Shepherd versus Dallas. I think this one's interesting.

783
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of the matchup quite honestly,

784
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: because I mean, obviously Sterling Shepherds are rookie, but Dallas's

785
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: defense not great. Uh, Sterling Shepherd should be the number

786
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: two guy in what should be a pretty high profile

787
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 1: passing attack. Um, I could be wrong, though, I don't

788
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I know you guys love Sterling

789
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: shep Guess what this was another matchup Harmon highlighted in

790
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: his column when you guys should all rate it NFL

791
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: dot Com slash Harmon. Yeah, I'm kind of actually fading

792
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: the Giants offense in DFS. I mean, I'll have some exposure.

793
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 1: I would well, I would advise having some exposure to

794
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham because he could and I wouldn't. I'm not

795
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: advocating sitting in, but I don't think I'm like so

796
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 1: eager to start um a guy like Eli Manning or

797
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: even Sterling Shepherd in this matchup. Because Dallas plays so

798
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: so slow. They were ranked the they ran the fifth

799
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,760
Speaker 1: fewest plays in the preseason. They ranked nineteenth in plays

800
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: run in the year where DeMarco Murray established himself as

801
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 1: a feature back in two thousand fourteen, and then they

802
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 1: fell all the way back to twenty nine when they

803
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: replaced Tony Romo with injury last year, and with a

804
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: running quarterback under center, they're going to run even fewer

805
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 1: plays because it's just gonna be when Dack's gonna take

806
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: off and run, they're gonna pound a Zekiel Elliott. And

807
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: that just puts such a stress on the other team.

808
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: Because you get to run just a few plays, you

809
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: have less opportunities to put up productive numbers. I mean

810
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,919
Speaker 1: that's why Odell beck I know people were like, well,

811
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: Eli Manning didn't perform against the Giants last or the

812
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys last year. Neither did Odell Beckham. Beckham combined for

813
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: seventy nine yards against the Cowboys last year. Manning only

814
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: had three sixty three yards combined against Alice last year.

815
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 1: And it's because they just ran far few less. That

816
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 1: first game was so weird last year. Let's not forget

817
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: what the messed up turnovers and stuff. I think you

818
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,839
Speaker 1: make a really good point their harmon. The one way

819
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 1: I could see that changing in this turning into the

820
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: shoot out, though, is if the Giants get up early.

821
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: If they get up they have to get up early,

822
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: like they have to take a on the shots with

823
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: them and put up points early. But even then, I

824
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 1: think that takes Sterling Shepard kind of out of the equation.

825
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: It could, but I mean, like the Dallas has no

826
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: pass rush right now, They're from their front seven has

827
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: been decimated from from suspensions. They don't have Randy Gregory,

828
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence or Rolana mclin. Those are three of the

829
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: best players, and I don't know what they're gonna do. Yeah,

830
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: so what are they gonna do defensively? I don't get it,

831
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like I could see this

832
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 1: being I could see New York getting up twenty one

833
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: zip easy, Yeah, they I mean the way that they're

834
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: going to counteract that defense is the way they've been

835
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: counteracting the defense the last two years, which is just

836
00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: to bleed the clock and play slow as hell on offense.

837
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't disagree with that. So this one could go

838
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: either way. It'll be a fun one to watch though,

839
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: that's for sure. About Jared Cook versus the Jaguars. You

840
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: mean Jared goat Cook all of the y Yeah? Wait,

841
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 1: why why so high on Jared Cook? Who knows? Could

842
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: I say, because it's fun. But well I get I

843
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,879
Speaker 1: get from the whiz Kit, from wisk I get that. Okay, fine,

844
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, where is everybody else? When ja Michael

845
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: Finley was was just killing things there in Green Bay

846
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 1: and you know, he was catching passes from Aaron Rodgers

847
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,320
Speaker 1: and everything was happy and good. This is that, Okay,

848
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 1: this is that again. This is this is the guy

849
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: they have been waiting for at the tight end position

850
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: since Jamichael Finley was forced out of football um and

851
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 1: for Jerry Cook. I mean, this is this is last chance,

852
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: saloon man. You're in the best offense you've ever played with.

853
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: You've got the best quarterback ever. If it doesn't happen, now,

854
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 1: it's just never. He's got a one year contract too,

855
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 1: so he's trying to perform and get paid next year.

856
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: Jacksonpah wasn't great at stomping tight ends last year, and

857
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: now I might, you know, be like, oh, they've got

858
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 1: Miles Jack, They've got Jalen Ramsey. Miles Jack's probably not

859
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: even gonna start, so and they've got a They've got

860
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: an interesting rotation. Otherwise, like Telvin Smith plays good, but

861
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 1: then they take them out. So it's like, I don't

862
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: know who's gonna cover Jared Cook, but whoever it is

863
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,239
Speaker 1: might not be that great and for as cheap as

864
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: he has in the waiver wire or in you know

865
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: what a value is in DFS, he's a He's a

866
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: great option to roll out this this week. If George's

867
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: on a snap count too, I think he's the primary

868
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: downfield option. I mean, is he gonna be on snap count? Though?

869
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: This is kind of we've heard mixed reports because at

870
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: first it was he's a full go, then when the

871
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: Beat reporters is like, I think he's gonna be on

872
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,959
Speaker 1: the snap count. Like like I've been saying for months

873
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,239
Speaker 1: now that that Green Bay set of Beat writers can't

874
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: get on message. Um, the whole snap count thing, I

875
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: think is something that they would like to do, but

876
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: the only the only way they get to that is

877
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: if they have a big lead. I don't know if

878
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: they get a big lead against this Jaguars offense. Don't

879
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily stout I love this game. I'm excited

880
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 1: to watch this game. Obviously it's my team, but I

881
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: think it's super interesting Jags at home. I think the

882
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: JAG's gonna put up some points man um, I think

883
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of fun. Chris Ivory. How

884
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: about Clive Walford versus New Orleans? Now? Thank you? Yeah? No, uh,

885
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: Clive Walford versus New Orleans, No, thank you. I don't know.

886
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 1: He's kind of a deeper. Can I at least throw

887
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:48,360
Speaker 1: this out? New Orleans was I believe the second worst

888
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 1: defense against tight ends last year. They gave up the

889
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: most fantasy points. Second, they were bad against everything. Yeah,

890
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 1: they allowed forty five passing touchdowns a quarterback last year

891
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: that the second place team was thirty six with Philadelphia.

892
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: It was like it was like the most in NFL history.

893
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 1: Uh So again, I'll ask you Clive Walford versus New Orleans.

894
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 1: They didn't make any improvements on the defense, guys, No,

895
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: they really haven't. I was I was actually looking at

896
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: this too for this matchup, and I guess you can

897
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: just jump ahead in a little bit. So they had

898
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,480
Speaker 1: Rob Ryan starting for the first eleven weeks or ten

899
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: weeks of the year and then eleven with their by

900
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: so leading up to Week twelve, their defense ranked in

901
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,720
Speaker 1: terms of fantasy points thirty second against quarterbacks, thirtieth against

902
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:31,959
Speaker 1: running backs, against wide receivers and thirty second against tight ends.

903
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: Then they switched to gave it to Dennis Allen and

904
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: there was a minor improvement, but those totals went to

905
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 1: and thirty across the board. They've had no really new

906
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 1: pieces come in free agency, unless you count an aging

907
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 1: James Lornitis or the you know now on is what

908
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 1: third team in three years, Nick Fairley, they lost their

909
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: first overall pick and sheld ranking. So you're right, there's

910
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of fantasy points to be had.

911
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: I just don't know that I'm going to trust Clive

912
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: Walford in any sort of line up unless it's a

913
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: danger zone type of league. People talk about Walford's like

914
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: late season surge last year, um, but Amari Cooper was

915
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: hurt then too, So it's a good point. That's a

916
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: good point. I think he's the third option in that

917
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: passing game best, like a distant third right right. Heck,

918
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: he might even be a fourth with if they mix

919
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: in DeAndre Washington as much as folks Roberts Seth Robertson,

920
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 1: Tavis Murray. Yeah, I just I can't. I like a

921
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: lot of the people in that in that game, But

922
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:25,239
Speaker 1: Clive Walford is not one of them. Alright, best worst

923
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,760
Speaker 1: matchups for Week one, Let's get to the tough matchups. First,

924
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: Vikings versus the Titans. The reason I put it on

925
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,479
Speaker 1: this list again because I think both teams are gonna

926
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: bleed that clock. I just don't. I don't see a

927
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 1: lot of scoring opportunities for either team. Obviously, the Vikings

928
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: are gonna lean on Adrian Peterson quite a bit um,

929
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: but how close they get considering that the Titans know

930
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: that they're just gonna use Adrian Peterson, I'm not exactly sure.

931
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: I know the Titans are gonna run the ball a

932
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: heck of a lot as well. Marcus Mariotta is interesting

933
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: because he's a very good talent. I guess I wouldn't

934
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 1: be surprised if he drops a bomb into somebody. But uh,

935
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: to me, this one screams low scoring affair. Well, and

936
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: right now, Mike Zimmer is trying to be coy about saying,

937
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, I know who my starting quarterback game is,

938
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: but I'm not telling you until Sunday. I mean, we

939
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: talked about earlier. It doesn't matter. Well, but you know,

940
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously he thinks this is some sort of

941
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: psychological mind game he can play with Tennessee and you know,

942
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 1: make them feel like they've got to be prepared for

943
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: both Sean Hill and I can't even say that be

944
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: prepared was I can't. Was it the Vikings who picked

945
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: up Josh Freeman like a couple of years ago, and yeah,

946
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 1: they started him against and it started worst, Like the

947
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 1: week they added him, the worst Funday Night football. It

948
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: was one of the worst games. I feel like that.

949
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 1: I feel like that's the situation that Sam Bradford would

950
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: be in if they started him like he doesn't know

951
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,239
Speaker 1: the playbook. Yep, way to give up a first round

952
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: draft pick. Well well, I mean in time, sure, but

953
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: the guy needs some time to learn offense. I mean

954
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: he's got to learn the verbiage forgot, but I don't

955
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: even know how he picks up the verbiage. In two

956
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: days time, he will be the same. You see that

957
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: guy standing behind you, turn around and damn, that's the

958
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: verbiage there. It is. Okay, Pats versus Cards again. The Cardinals,

959
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, just a great defense already. They added a

960
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,479
Speaker 1: guy in Chandler Jones. They added a guy on Robert

961
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 1: Kim d j Um. This team from a defensive standpoint,

962
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: looks locked and loaded page offensive players on high alert.

963
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: I think even if Gronk plays, I think even he

964
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: is on Hiler because we know he's already kind of

965
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: dinged up. Uh your gentleman's takeaway on this matchup. I

966
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: like on the Arizona side pretty much everybody Um, Bill

967
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 1: rob Nikovich. John Brown, Yeah, I think John Brown is

968
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: probably a shock is my favorite play of the receivers

969
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: this week. This week because we know that Bill Belichick

970
00:46:43,880 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: loves to scheme and stop one guy. I think he

971
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,359
Speaker 1: will probably do that to Larry Fitzgerald. He's talked all

972
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: this week about how much he respects him as All

973
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: of Famer Yaddi, Yadia ida dada. I like Brown's a

974
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 1: bit like cornerback matchup two. He should get the most

975
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: inexperienced guy. I can't even remember his name right now,

976
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 1: so he could burn one deep for sure. Yeah. Not

977
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: a game to start La Garrett Blunt, that's for sure.

978
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't even trust James White in this one

979
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 1: because it I mean, who knows if it's him, if

980
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 1: it's DJ Foster, if it's Edelman Hogan, Like, I just

981
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: it's Jimmy Garoppolo back there. It's a total unknown. We're

982
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: not exactly sure, although I'll tell you this, man, I

983
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,759
Speaker 1: thought he's looked pretty sharp in the preseason. And Bill

984
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: Belichick being Bill Belichick, no one's gonna be surprised if

985
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: the Paths keep this competitive. Nobody would checkdown fiend though,

986
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: and I could see him dumping it off to White

987
00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: a lot too. But it's that's if White's the one

988
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: that's always there to get it dumped off too. I

989
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 1: think he will be, though I don't know. It's just

990
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: Belatrick's loom man. Dian Lewis isn't there to. People are

991
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 1: too scared of this. There's better matchups. Go get Chris

992
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: Thompson or Darren Sprawls. And you said, yeah, the Dolphins

993
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,960
Speaker 1: versus Seattle at Seattle again. We talked about that Jarvis

994
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,720
Speaker 1: Lantry matchup. Folks in this room more educated than myself

995
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: not scared. I like it. I'd buy in. I'm all

996
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: in on Jarvis Lantry. That's fine. I feel like this

997
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: is only scary in one direction though, Oh for sure,

998
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: this is a foster j I mean all these guys,

999
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: I mean, can you play any of these dudes, no one,

1000
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: no one can. I also say this though, if it

1001
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: becomes an absolute blowout um and Doug Baldwin doesn't get

1002
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,240
Speaker 1: one early, this kind of it could be a situation

1003
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: where they sold the lead away Sea Woke with Sea Woke,

1004
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: Sea Woke. Yeah, buddy, he's got a pretty good shot

1005
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: at Carries. I was gonna say twenty but sure. Like

1006
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,920
Speaker 1: I said earlier about franchise doubling down, but I I

1007
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 1: really do think that this game should get out of

1008
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 1: hand fairly quickly. The Miami secondary awful. They're bad. Their

1009
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:43,279
Speaker 1: whole defense, their whole defense is bad, but especially that

1010
00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: back end, like their number one corners, Byron Maximum, we

1011
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: already saw last year. He's not good. God, like they're

1012
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: starting a rookie just dawned on me. And when he

1013
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: said that, it was like a like just a wash.

1014
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, that's their number one. Like, so,

1015
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 1: I think that Baldwin and lock it to I mean,

1016
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: Lockett could definitely take one over the top. Oh yeah,

1017
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: this game, especially against Byron Maxwell too, I like. So,

1018
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: I will say I know some people were pushing the

1019
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: panic button because JERMAINEA. Fetti got injured and he was

1020
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: going to be a big part of this offense coming

1021
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,640
Speaker 1: in a guard and people like, oh, Russell Wilson's got

1022
00:49:14,719 --> 00:49:16,799
Speaker 1: no offensive line, is gonna have the run for his life. Like,

1023
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: guess what, He's still very good. Yeah, and no, I

1024
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: got some on Twitter to where people were like, oh

1025
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 1: my god, if Fetti's out, should I bench? No? I

1026
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:26,799
Speaker 1: don't think this. Should I bench Russell Wilson? But like,

1027
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: are you worried? I was like, no, you'll worry about

1028
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: too much. No. I mean it's funny because he had

1029
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: a horrible line last year and he went in the

1030
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 1: second when he had to street ball, he was great.

1031
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: And when that line shored up and he could stay

1032
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:41,399
Speaker 1: in the pocket, he was great. You know why, because

1033
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is great. Don't worry um. But yeah, again,

1034
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: I think I I almost feel like Doug Baldwin's gotta

1035
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 1: get one early fear in some of these games. But

1036
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, that could legitimately happen. Oh

1037
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean I could totally see that. I

1038
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:03,399
Speaker 1: could see you first drive they go down fourteen yard.

1039
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: I will say, if you're worrying about that, it's not

1040
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: like Pete Carroll's ever really been the guy to enforce

1041
00:50:07,600 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: a mercy rule in two thousand twelves. They were, they

1042
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 1: were stomping fools like fifty to six. So it's fine.

1043
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: I mean, no lead is safe, you feel like a

1044
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 1: lot of coaches feel in the NFL. So it's not

1045
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 1: like he's gonna get up twenty and be like, all right, guys,

1046
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: time to come out. No, but you know what I

1047
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: do what I do legitimately, Like though, I, um, and

1048
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,560
Speaker 1: we kind of joke around about it, but Christian Michael

1049
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 1: really though, I really like this matchup because again, um,

1050
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: if they're if they're gonna try to protect Thomas Rawls

1051
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: in terms of his health, why not just give it

1052
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: a see Mike a bunch of times, especially in the

1053
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: second half if they're up big. I like the match up.

1054
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: They said they might give Rawls a couple carries to

1055
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 1: see how he looks, but they're treating it as Rawls'

1056
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: second preseason, so I don't just go and start Thomas Rawls.

1057
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: All right? How about Rams at Niners? The Rams got

1058
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: a pretty good defense. Again, not a great fantasy defense,

1059
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: but overall pretty good defense. Um, and the Niners, well,

1060
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: the Niners are the Niners. It's gonna be a pillow fight. Yeah,

1061
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a total And so Harmon got me

1062
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: on board near the end of the preseason with this

1063
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: idea of Tory Smith as a sleeper. I started to

1064
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: kind of buy into that this week not so much

1065
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: simply because I know, Harmon part of your logic was

1066
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,399
Speaker 1: that the Niners one, they're playing up Temple, but they

1067
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: are also likely to be losing a lot and gonna

1068
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 1: be forced to throw the ball. I don't see this

1069
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 1: game getting having a big spread one way or another.

1070
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: So I don't know that the Niners will be compelled

1071
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: to throw the ball at time to try to get

1072
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,319
Speaker 1: back into this one, which does not bode well for

1073
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: Smith against the very good defense. Talk about this one,

1074
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: I'd want to play real quick minor not breaking news,

1075
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: but we just were getting the injury reports coming through

1076
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: as were recording. Jamal Charles officially listed as doubtful. All right,

1077
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 1: he's not playing. There's there's no way he's playing. We

1078
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,839
Speaker 1: talked about pace to play, Matt Harman, the Rams. You

1079
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:57,359
Speaker 1: mentioned Dallas slowing it down. The Rams, That's that's all

1080
00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: they do is they slowed this baby down a lot.

1081
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:02,920
Speaker 1: I know It's funny because in terms of pace of play,

1082
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna see one of the highest pace of play

1083
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,080
Speaker 1: teams in the Niners, and then literally perhaps the slowest

1084
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: pace of play team in the L. A. Rams. But

1085
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 1: here's the thing, I gotta imagine Chip Kelly, and again,

1086
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: chip Kelly has been known to run a lot. I

1087
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,319
Speaker 1: think both these teams are gonna run a bunch. It's

1088
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:22,240
Speaker 1: just a boring game. I'm not gonna really start anybody

1089
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: in this game. Todd Gurley, Carlos Hide. I don't know.

1090
00:52:26,360 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm kind of nervous about Hide. I'd rather wait and

1091
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: see what Hide than in this game. But just because

1092
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley is gonna get fifty billion carries, I'd start

1093
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,760
Speaker 1: him in this game. Otherwise I'm really not start. Start

1094
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: to start both defenses, to be quite honest with you,

1095
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 1: start both defenses, and both defenses, even the Niners. Yeah,

1096
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: because I think they're the Rams are bad and they're

1097
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: at home. Four Niners at home right there. Besides, besides

1098
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, who in the offense really scares right this

1099
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: this could honestly be a seventeen to ten game with

1100
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: two defensive touchdowns. I like it. That's all about some

1101
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: impossible shootouts Raiders versus Saints. We talked about both defenses.

1102
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: Asked you were back. I think the Raiders obviously made

1103
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: a lot of improvements on the defensive side of the ball,

1104
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,919
Speaker 1: um which Harmony, want to speak to you real quick.

1105
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: This is in the matchups column as well. Uh, yeah,

1106
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: this is. I think that the Raiders defense could be

1107
00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: like one of those funnel defenses where you attack in

1108
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: the middle of the field because they're outside cornerbacks are

1109
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 1: quietly pretty good. David Emerson played really well, got an

1110
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: extension with the team uh this offseason, and they also

1111
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: have Sean Smith. Both those guys are over six one.

1112
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: Shan Smith is like six three to eighteen. Those are big,

1113
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: physical press cornerbacks and their their defenses. Those are guys

1114
00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,840
Speaker 1: that Brandon Cooks typically struggles with. His reception perception success

1115
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,760
Speaker 1: rate verse coverage against press is well below the league average.

1116
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying like bench Cooks, but this might

1117
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: be a game where other guys go off, like I

1118
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: really like Kobe Fleaner. We know that the Raiders were

1119
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 1: torched by tight ends last year, and I don't think

1120
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: they've made any huge personnel improvements their started. Their safety

1121
00:53:55,880 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: first round pick is gonna be on the bench. I

1122
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: love Willie sneed this matchup. Everybody talked about my Thomas

1123
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: taking over the slot role, but it was actually Willie

1124
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: Snead that played over seventy of his snaps in the

1125
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: slot in the preseason. So I think both those guys

1126
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: are big plays. Uh. Could Michael Thomas if he does

1127
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 1: slide into well, First of all, I mean they run

1128
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:15,760
Speaker 1: four wide receiver sets, not uncommonly there with, I wouldn't

1129
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised to see Michael Thomas also running

1130
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: in the slot as well. Yeah, he played about twenty

1131
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: of his snaps in the preseason from the inside, so

1132
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: it's kind of remains to be seen whether they see

1133
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: him as more of an outside flanker. Uh, and then

1134
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: Snead as a slot guy. But you know, let's not

1135
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 1: officer forget too that fleaner is going to play in

1136
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 1: the slot as well too. They'll split out there too.

1137
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:35,959
Speaker 1: They always used to slide Jimmy Graham and that slot

1138
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: because it's so Yeah. Thomas also was on the injury

1139
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: report this week too, though that was kind of that

1140
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 1: showed up late in the week that he's going to

1141
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: be on the injury report because I I kind of

1142
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,800
Speaker 1: liked him as a deep sleeper this week because of

1143
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: him playing that Marcus Colston roll and that that combined

1144
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,760
Speaker 1: with all the negative things we heard about Kobe Fleaner

1145
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: and and him working in at the end of the preseason,

1146
00:54:57,800 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: so I just felt like there's a chance that we

1147
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 1: could see Thomas, you know, kind of break out a

1148
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 1: little bit here in Week one. I don't know week

1149
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:04,759
Speaker 1: to week how much I like him, but at least

1150
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: this week I felt like he's worth a deep shot.

1151
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: I do not believe. I'm gonna go on record, I

1152
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: was kind of kind of when the different personnel moves

1153
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: and everything, and just reading the offseason, I'm just gonna

1154
00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: say it. I don't like Kobe Fleaner. I think he's

1155
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: not going to live up to expectations. I know that

1156
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,960
Speaker 1: he's going semi late in draft, but I just don't

1157
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: believe in the talent level. I know they gave him

1158
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: a big contract or whatever's but again, you know, can

1159
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: he block. I think this is a team that wants

1160
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:31,879
Speaker 1: to run the ball a little bit more. With mark

1161
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 1: ingram Um. I think Michael Tomas is a special talent.

1162
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try to figure out a way

1163
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,719
Speaker 1: to get him more involved. And if that means no

1164
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleaner, Sorry, Pal, that means no Kobe Fleaner. Um,

1165
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:43,759
Speaker 1: I just not big on him this year. I think

1166
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:45,759
Speaker 1: he's gonna fall by the wayside, kind of like what

1167
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: we saw with Josh Hill last year, where they kind

1168
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,439
Speaker 1: of opted for a bigger, better blocking tight end. That's

1169
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 1: just my take, and and I'll stand by that one.

1170
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: Rather sneakily. I could think he could blow up this

1171
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: week though, and then maybe you trade him next week.

1172
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: Trade I don't I don't disagree with that, I think.

1173
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: By the way, can I also say this. I know

1174
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: this is gonna be totally against the grain, but the

1175
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: Raiders defense from a fantasy perspective, I kind of like

1176
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: them this week. Um, the Saints offensive line has there's

1177
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 1: been a lot of reports about them just being absolutely awful.

1178
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: The Raiders with Khalil Mack. I know the Saints are

1179
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,160
Speaker 1: at home, so you know, I think I still think

1180
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:21,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna put up points. But in terms of sax

1181
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: and turnovers, I kind of think the Raiders got the

1182
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 1: recipe to really uh. I think they'll get after they

1183
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 1: Definitely you're you're playing with fire there though, because if

1184
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: if Breeze drops, if Breeze drops forty on them, even

1185
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: if they sack them five times, you're gonna end up

1186
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 1: with like a point that that's the thing. You cannot

1187
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: play them. I was not going to not play against

1188
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: out in the Dome. I might still be a little

1189
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: bit gunshot for making the Raiders a sleeper defense. The

1190
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 1: week Nick Foles drop seven, Well, uh, James, you know

1191
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: you're kind of just feeling like it's a it's a

1192
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: dangerous zone play. It's I would not advise it. And

1193
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: I just like I said, it's against I'm watching to

1194
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,320
Speaker 1: see what c J. Spiller's role is in this game

1195
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: big time. You mean Daniel Alaska c J. Spiller. I

1196
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: think he was injured last year. Um, he was still

1197
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: learning the Saints playbook. He didn't he didn't really know

1198
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: what was going on. He didn't fit. He ran with

1199
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: the first team offensive the preseason. Um. And I think

1200
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, in the second half, if the Saints find

1201
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 1: themselves down, Spiller might get some snaps and he might

1202
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: be like a deep deep waiver wire ad next week.

1203
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: This could be a good hint to see if Ingram

1204
00:57:28,040 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: is going to keep that passing volume he had last

1205
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: year or if that was largely that was largely a

1206
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: product of Spiller being more injured. This is I mean,

1207
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 1: they could both get a lot of work because this

1208
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 1: team throws like a hundred and sixty targets to the

1209
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: running backs every year, but you know Ingram might not

1210
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: have as big of a share as he did last year.

1211
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 1: One of my favorite games on the docket Lions versus

1212
00:57:47,160 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: the Colts. I just I gotta think this one is

1213
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a high scoring affair. Um. I think both

1214
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: these teams are gonna try to play. Maybe not the

1215
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: Colts as much, but the Lions we know for sure

1216
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 1: under Jim Bob Cootter they're gonna try to play more.

1217
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: Know how, they're gonna be much more up tempo. They

1218
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:05,960
Speaker 1: have the offensive pieces, uh to move the ball against

1219
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: the Colts defense that is not good and has injuries

1220
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: and has injuries. The Colts similarly have the offensive pieces

1221
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: to move the ball against Alliance defense that I think

1222
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: is going to be one of the five worst in

1223
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. This to me screams shootout, So you know

1224
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot. You know, it's gonna be

1225
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: twelve with third now, I'm just kidding. The same should

1226
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: go crazy. So you know who I like as a

1227
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: deep sleeper in this one and Bolden it's gonna I

1228
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: was thinking of mentioning him, you know, a deep sleeper

1229
00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: in this one. I mean, there's there's talk that he's

1230
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: starting to work in a little bit more and JBC

1231
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: said he expects a big role for Bolden this year.

1232
00:58:41,520 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: You know, I mean I've heard pot central of you.

1233
00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: He may get targeted in the red zone and that's

1234
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: all and he's not. But he's not a week to

1235
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: week play. But this is one of those matchups against

1236
00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:53,320
Speaker 1: a bad defense, what could be a really high scoring,

1237
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: up tempo game. I mean, this is where you take

1238
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: shot at right now. Hats off to our friend Nick

1239
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: Mencio at Rodal World. He tweeted this earlier today. You're

1240
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: the Colts healthy likely starting cornerbacks and when they joined

1241
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 1: the team Antonio Crimarti August, Patrick Robinson in March, Darryl

1242
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:15,920
Speaker 1: Morris September five, and rush Rashaan Melvin September seven. Also

1243
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: and Henry Anderson, one of their best pass rushers. The

1244
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:20,840
Speaker 1: third round pick from last year is out already as

1245
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: he's recovering from a torn a c. L. Kendall Langford

1246
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 1: is uh practice limitedly, did not practice on Friday, I

1247
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: saw on the report, so he's likely out. And then

1248
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: on top of that, they're missing Art Jones with a suspension,

1249
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: so like there's gonna be no pass rush and no cornerbacks.

1250
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,760
Speaker 1: Other than that, everything's gonna be great all the point.

1251
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,520
Speaker 1: The Lions should be putting up some some numbers, but

1252
00:59:41,560 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: again their defense too was just so bad. Uh And

1253
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: and the Colts with Andrew Luck and and first of all,

1254
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: we've seen Andrew Luck uh play from a deficit. He balls,

1255
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: he goes nuts when they're in a deference. So I like,

1256
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: all the offense, give me everyone in this game. Um,

1257
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: but you're right, just knowing how the gods will play it,

1258
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like twelve. Also, and even though this

1259
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: could turn into a shootout, I'm still I'd still gladly

1260
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 1: roll out Frank Gore as an RB two or reflects

1261
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: because he's the he's still the only option there. And

1262
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 1: when Luck was on the field with him last year,

1263
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: he averaged three targets a game. So if this turns

1264
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:17,000
Speaker 1: a new shoot out, the cauld still dump it off

1265
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: to Gore. He could be the checkdown guy. He's the

1266
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 1: best pass blocker there, So I'm not afraid of like

1267
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: him losing volume if it turns into a very past

1268
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,760
Speaker 1: heavy script for the Colts. All Right, New York Giants

1269
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 1: taken on the Dallas Cowboys. We we hinted at this

1270
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: game just a little bit. Uh, any other players that

1271
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: we haven't got to. How about Rashan Jennings, Uh? There

1272
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: for the Giants? Do you like him this week? I

1273
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: like him. I do like him. I'm liking him more

1274
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: and more because I think the Giants realized the error

1275
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: of their foreheaded running back ways. And they realized the

1276
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: error of Andre Williams too, And he's gone. He's gone now, yea,

1277
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: And there's talk that now because he's gone, Rashad Jennings

1278
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: could see more carries around the goal line for sure.

1279
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 1: Paul Perkins is still a ways away from being really relevant.

1280
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: So it's basically Rashana Jennings and Shane very Yeah, buddy,

1281
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: let's go, Shane Vereen, here we go. I put Rashad

1282
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:06,920
Speaker 1: Jennings in my players to trade four before Week one.

1283
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: This week so NFL dot Com slash franchise trade calls. Yeah, alright,

1284
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: how about Packers versus the Jags? We see the floor

1285
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: to Alex Gilhar, I mean start your Packers lace is

1286
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 1: a great start. Jordy Nelson's a good start. Randall cob too.

1287
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: Don't be afraid of starting him because you got burned

1288
01:01:22,480 --> 01:01:27,479
Speaker 1: last year. Jacksonville side Alan Robinson obviously, h Julius Thomas

1289
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: could be an interesting play because the Packers are starting,

1290
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: for sure, one rookie middle linebacker, fourth round pick Blake Martinez,

1291
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: and the other one I think it's gonna be Jake Ryan,

1292
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: who was the third or fourth round pick last year.

1293
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: So those guys that might be a little rough in

1294
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 1: the rough in the middle of the field. What's been

1295
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 1: the training camp reports on blank Partinez? Because he's been

1296
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,439
Speaker 1: the play he's been. He's been good, but he's still

1297
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: a rookie going up against one of the most dominant

1298
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,439
Speaker 1: red zone tight ends in the league. It's a good point.

1299
01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns concerns me a little bit in this matchup

1300
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: because the Packers do have a pretty good young secondary,

1301
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:57,360
Speaker 1: and I mean a rob is gonna be the one

1302
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: to get open more often than not, so I've I've

1303
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: concerned about starting Hearns this week. Are the Packers an

1304
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 1: interesting sleeper defense given that Blake Bortles is Blake Bortles.

1305
01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: I would, I would think, but I mean, there's probably

1306
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: better defensive plays out there. But it's nice for the

1307
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Packers that claim Matthews is moving back predominantly to the

1308
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: outside right like Bortles is a highly sacked quarterback and

1309
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: he's prone to throwing turnout to turnover, so he loves

1310
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: throwing pick six at least picks. Certainly about Randall Cobbs

1311
01:02:22,680 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 1: kind of kind of kind of like t J Yelden

1312
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 1: in a PPR League two or in a DFS where

1313
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: you get points for PPR Chris Iver dealing with the injury. Yes, yes,

1314
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 1: so there you go, already what a shock. Can't wait

1315
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: till can't wait till he scores six or fewer rushing

1316
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns to get points for falling over stop stop, I

1317
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: can't wait till I can't wait till t jok marks

1318
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: is two most passionate campaigns right now, Taman Paula for

1319
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty one and t J l and just

1320
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: falls just falling over falls down Its hashtag team for

1321
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: sb L. I but yeah, like Harmon said, uh Randall Cobbin,

1322
01:02:58,120 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: this one's gonna be great, especially if they try to

1323
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: lock on Jonny Nelson more. Cobb actually averages like twenty

1324
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,080
Speaker 1: five more yards per game and point to five more

1325
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game on fewer targets when he plays with

1326
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:10,760
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson. Go get it. Brown's versus Eagles another game

1327
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 1: that I slated as a possible shootout. Agree, disagree. I

1328
01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: don't see it turning into a show. I think I like,

1329
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: I like the quarterback screaming defense. Well, just I think

1330
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 1: both the quarterbacks are going to make at least one

1331
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: mistake even if we like the Brown's offense going forward,

1332
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: But I think it could maybe get off to a

1333
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 1: little bit of a rocky start. Jim Schwartz has been

1334
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,520
Speaker 1: a ferocious defensive coordinator, puts a lot of pressure on

1335
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: opposing pastors, and we know if there's one thing r

1336
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: G three doesn't do well, it's when he's under pressure.

1337
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: The Eagles are so bad last so bad last year.

1338
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: I think, George, they weren't that they weren't awful. They

1339
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:47,400
Speaker 1: were awful, giving up passing stakes, their cornerbacks got roasted, yes,

1340
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: but I mean just in general, they've got a good

1341
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 1: front seven and it's a different scheme now it's Jim Schwarts.

1342
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 1: Like you said, he puts a lot of pressure because

1343
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: he is an attack or three scheme. They also don't

1344
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: they're not dealing with Chip Kelly like doing the wearing,

1345
01:03:59,080 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: wearing them out up Temp up right up Tampa three

1346
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 1: and out for sure. So I do think that Jordan

1347
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: Matthews is kind of a sneaky play in this one

1348
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: because he'll avoid Joe Hayden, who does not travel into

1349
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: the slot where Matthews recorded. I feel like we haven't

1350
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 1: said Jordan Matthew's name out loud and about a month

1351
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: when I when I was looking at matchups to highlight

1352
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: this week, I was like, you know, we haven't talked

1353
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: about Jordan Matthews lately, and when we have, it hasn't

1354
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 1: been positive. But yeah, I think that because of the

1355
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 1: uncertainty at the rest of the receiver position. Um, well, now,

1356
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: trouble was Jordan Matthews got his injury and then while

1357
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: he's sitting there recovering, like everything goes wrong and changes.

1358
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think I think with the rookie quarterback

1359
01:04:36,280 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: Understwner because he runs those short routes from the slot.

1360
01:04:38,840 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 1: I think he could get peppered with some targets and

1361
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: he'll have the cornerback matchup in his face. I think

1362
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,520
Speaker 1: real quick before we had to day the DAPs James two.

1363
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 1: We've hit pretty much every game on the slate, except

1364
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: we really didn't talk about Tampa at Lanta at all.

1365
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,480
Speaker 1: Or that's when I would put as a potential shootout. Yeah,

1366
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: tell us why harm because I think both offenses are good.

1367
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: They they're they're filled with talented playmakers. Again, if you

1368
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: get the cornerback matchups. Julio consistently roasts the Bucks because

1369
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: they don't have any good cornerbacks there, we'll probably get

1370
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 1: um On Vernon Hargraves, their smaller rookie first round pick,

1371
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 1: and if not, he'll be against Altron Verner. Welcome to

1372
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:17,440
Speaker 1: the NFL rug Julio has been on the injury report

1373
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:21,480
Speaker 1: this week, but I think he participated all on Friday.

1374
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: I think he's always on the injury report, right, And

1375
01:05:23,200 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: I think Mohammed Sanu could even be a sneaky play

1376
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: because the Bucks secondary is so bad. On the other end,

1377
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: I love Mike Evans in this game, I think that

1378
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: he could get off Desmond Trufon, who typically stays on

1379
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: the left side of the field. That also kind of

1380
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:37,720
Speaker 1: leaves me to like Vincent Jackson a little bit too.

1381
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: So I hope that this, um, hope this turns into

1382
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: a shootout back and forth because, like I said, both

1383
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 1: these defenses not great. It's gonna be inside in Atlanta too.

1384
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:48,280
Speaker 1: And as for Buffalo Baltimore, I like, I'm still just

1385
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: I think wait and C mode for Baltimore across the board. Like,

1386
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 1: while I like Kamar Aiken and I like some Mike Wallace,

1387
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:58,479
Speaker 1: we don't know Steve Smith's, you know, not on pop

1388
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 1: or anything. How much is he gonna play if at all?

1389
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: Prescott pairman, how much is he gonna play if at all? Uh?

1390
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 1: That backfield don't touch it. I mean justin for sets

1391
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: declared himself the starter. But whatever. On the flip side,

1392
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: I love Tyrod, Sammy and Lashawn in this in this matchup,

1393
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: Tyrod and Sammy are going against them really suspect Baltimore secondary.

1394
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 1: Tyrod also is his rushing floor. L Shawn's the guy there.

1395
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,800
Speaker 1: He's probably going to be the second most targeted pass catcher,

1396
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: and this Ravens defensive front is not what it used

1397
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: to be. It's it's old and unimpressive in a lot

1398
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: of means. They got hurt last year, they did, but

1399
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 1: still like they got there. They got healthier this offseason,

1400
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: but still as you mentioned, I mean, not not going

1401
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 1: to be So if you've got any of the triplets

1402
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: from the Bills, a man, start up, start them with confidence.

1403
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask, I was gonna throw this the room,

1404
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: even though there are so many potential shootouts, which is

1405
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:44,920
Speaker 1: what you really want to look for for like the

1406
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 1: number one overall scoring in a certain position, and I

1407
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 1: don't think that this game has potential to do that.

1408
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: It wouldn't shock anybody if we're talking here Monday that

1409
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,520
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor was the top scoring quarterback and Samy Watkins

1410
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,040
Speaker 1: top scoring receiver. Not at all. It would surprise me

1411
01:06:58,120 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: for Tyrod. I liked ty Rod, but I just you

1412
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: know again that the whole Rex Ryan offense is just

1413
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: it's just so playing. I just think he could I

1414
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: just think he could pop too. It's also a revenge game, bro,

1415
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: so don't get that. Yeah, revenge, How could I forget revenge? No,

1416
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: Tyrod I have to adjust my rank. Oh yeah, oh

1417
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 1: my gosh, yeah about that. But in reality, I do

1418
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: think he could. He could toss two touchdowns to Sammy

1419
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: Watkins and pop another one on the ground. That wouldn't

1420
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: surprise me. But I think it's a little bit of

1421
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: like like I love those two in DFS because I

1422
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: think they're going to go under owned with all these

1423
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 1: potential shootouts. Yeah yeah, yeah, but most likely it's going

1424
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 1: to be you know, Andrew Luck and Dante Moncrief or

1425
01:07:37,440 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: one of those plays. Right when the when the Bills

1426
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 1: Big three was all healthy last year, all on the field, McCoy, Watkins,

1427
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 1: and Tyrod, it was only ten out of sixteen games.

1428
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: They average twenty six point five points points per game,

1429
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: which would have ranked fourth in the NFL. So that's amazing. Yeah. Yeah,

1430
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: when they're all healthy, they can play. They click. Yeah,

1431
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean, it's fun to see those kind of athletes

1432
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,959
Speaker 1: out there playing together. Or also it's fun to see

1433
01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 1: Tay God having a commercial. Now he's got commercial feeling.

1434
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: I feel I felt I felt like we had something

1435
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: to do with that. Get this man, Bob's amazing. That

1436
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: is amazing. It's also got a national commercial. I saw

1437
01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 1: it during the game last night. I was so fired up.

1438
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 1: I felt I really feel like we had something to

1439
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 1: do with I think so I really feel like we

1440
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:24,719
Speaker 1: were parceling responsible. How we can get ourselves a national commercial.

01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:18,280
Speaker 1: be amazing. I am amazed at how a guy who

1475
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,760
Speaker 1: just as a singular human who has dad bought and

1476
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: wears cheap, cheesy, awful sweaters can instill such terror in

1477
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,680
Speaker 1: people and get shout out to Wagner Mara have you

1479
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: on top of it as a guy who was is

1480
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:38,960
Speaker 1: Brazilian and didn't speak any Spanish, spoke only Portuguese, but

1481
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: had to learn Spanish to play Pablo Escobar and does

1482
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 1: just a phenomenal job with it. There you go, boom,

1483
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: franchiise hit me, yes, yere, I got too. So we

1484
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,560
Speaker 1: were talking about Jesse James earlier, the tight end on

1485
01:10:50,600 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers. I just looked him up on Google real fast.

1486
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 1: Just a fun fact. Both both his dad and his

1487
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: brother are named Rick James. Oh damn, I gotta all

1488
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 1: right now, my my real dap goes out to the

1489
01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: Bearded Bearded League that me and Harmon are a part of.

1490
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: We had our draft last Friday. Um Since then, so

1491
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:17,519
Speaker 1: that was seven days ago, there's been eleven trades and

1492
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: eleven trades eleven I was draft. I think Harmon was

1493
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 1: part of one. Yeah, that went down, just that went down,

1494
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 1: that have that have gone through, There have been I

1495
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,679
Speaker 1: have been I have been shooting down trade offers left

1496
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: and right. But it's like I just drafted to see

1497
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 1: I did. Actually I made one of them. But like

1498
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:41,120
Speaker 1: Mr Conspiracy theorists over there every other day franchise has

1499
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,320
Speaker 1: been like, what's going on there colluding against us? They're not,

1500
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: They're not trying to actually, but really, if you guys are,

1501
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: let me know. But seriously, it is. It is funny

1502
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 1: how many trades crazy these guys came out of the

1503
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: gate on might not see. I might not see eleven

1504
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: trades go down the entire year across five League. Yeah,

1505
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 1: I hate trading in general because i just feel like

1506
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm bad at it and I've got like, I have

1507
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: separation anxiety and I like, yeah, I abandonment issues like

1508
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: that you get attached to her guys. I'm being a

1509
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: little I'm executive there, but like, but I'm not a

1510
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,160
Speaker 1: big trader, So I don't even know if IVE ever

1511
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 1: made eleven fantasy trades outside of Dynasty in my life.

1512
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 1: You talk about that, but och Bar once said that

1513
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,000
Speaker 1: for real, and we had to remind him that bar,

1514
01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:26,720
Speaker 1: when you make a fantasy trade, those guys don't have

1515
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 1: to pick up and move to a new city. But

1516
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: you know, he's former players, so like he's actually lived

1517
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 1: through that. Yeah, he gets it all right, Uh Whizz kid,

1518
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 1: Give me one. I want to give a daily DAP

1519
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 1: to one of my favorite bands, Against Me, releasing a

1520
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 1: new album. I think it comes out on Tuesday. You

1521
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: could stream it for free on NPR earlier this week.

1522
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: It is called Shape Future Employer's NPR, Your Future Employer's NPR.

1523
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: It's called Shape Shift with Me, And it's pretty cool

1524
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 1: because before their last album, which was called Transgender Dysphoria Blues,

1525
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 1: the frontman of the band punk rock band with a

1526
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:58,400
Speaker 1: bunch of albums Uh came out as a transgender woman

1527
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: and underwent the procedure so must gable to Laura Jane Gray.

1528
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: So this is the second album through there and it

1529
01:13:03,360 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: kind of talks about a lot of the issues in that.

1530
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: But the band is still amazing and that I really

1531
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: enjoyed the album on a first listen. I can't wait

1532
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 1: to dive into it more. But Against Me is a

1533
01:13:12,200 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: fantastic band that's had a lot of great albums. Probably

1534
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 1: the best live show I ever saw in my life

1535
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: was seeing them at like a two hundred three person

1536
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 1: venue in Madison, Wisconsin several years ago with my sister

1537
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 1: and one of my good friends. But it's it's really

1538
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:26,760
Speaker 1: cool and it's just interesting to have, you know, the

1539
01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 1: front the former frontman of a punk rock band, which

1540
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: is such like something that's you know, dripping with energy ferocity,

1541
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: to now be a transgender woman. So I wonder if

1542
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: she was a fan of the X Men. Laura Jean Gray,

1543
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:43,160
Speaker 1: Laura Jane Gray, Jane. There is a rapper named Jean Gray, though,

1544
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 1: who I am a fan of. Is is she a

1545
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:49,880
Speaker 1: fan of the x She is? I'm sure she is.

1546
01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:51,760
Speaker 1: She is very I follow her on Twitter. She's very

1547
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 1: much in the comic books and entertainment in general. So
