Uh, look at it. 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.000 We can't let these other two clowns be the only 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.600 voice on the show. So i'm I'm I'm here to 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:29.720 fill in the real fantasy advice, such as yourself. So yeah, 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.600 it's good to be here. Man. It's sad that you 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:35.680 won't be a fantacy best friend forever, but maybe your 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:39.840 best best friend forever. R L. Real life. There you go. 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.720 According to Greggy, whatever done, he's done with you for sure. 0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:49.680 Are you driving, l A, are you flying? You're driving? Well, 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.320 I thought you can go through Nashville. I do want 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.880 to go to Nashville very badly before we got this job. 0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.120 By the way, he Floria told me he was went 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.679 in Nashville this summer well with his girlfriend. He was 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.200 super excited to hang out with you, Eric, um and 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.519 and then he got a do job. So and everything changed. No, 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:12.400 that's life, e y. Speaking of Nashville and Tennessee. Did 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.040 Jeff play the Titans in Tennessee this year? And I 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:19.480 went with the idea flying out to Nashville going to 0:03:19.560 --> 0:03:21.760 that game? What do you think? Yeah, I mean you 0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:24.640 definitely should like Uh, so things have changed for me. 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:30.120 I'm probably not gonna be here on Sundays, fair, probably 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.200 not gonna watch a lot of football lessons on my phone. 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.280 But that's that's a that's a good thing. I'm still 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:40.520 deep into the fantasy, um prepping like crazy right now. 0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:42.800 As soon as hockey gets down. That's when I started. 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.600 Uh it's a slow burn, but uh, the madness is 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.480 at full capacity right now, that's for sure. Um. I 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.560 heard a rumor started by you, Uh they're coming up 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:55.240 soon right to hang out. I am yeah, yeah, started 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:59.800 by me and uh Mike Anando have have graciually, uh 0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.480 graciously agreed to have me up there. So I'll be 0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.360 there on the tenth and uh doing the flex draft 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.680 for a bunch of the guys. Uh the Jake Ceeley 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.880 organizes on the eleventh stand from the twelfth, and then 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.880 I'll fly out in the afternoon of the thirteen. So, 0:04:12.160 --> 0:04:14.320 uh so we're gonna have to get into something for sure. 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.440 Absolutely we'll make we'll make it happen. And then there's 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.240 a possibility back a week later. Now, right, there is 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.760 a possibility. Um. I don't write the shows or or 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.320 any say what goes on, but uh, fingers crossed that 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.960 were there, Um, it would be my first Summer Slam. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:32.040 I mean in New York at Barclay Center. It would 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:35.640 be uh definitely a dream come true. So it's fingers crossed, 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.400 But I mean you just never know. It's a crazy 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.560 that I live in, so you never know. Absolutely. Hey, 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.800 last year Barclay Center, we were all there as you 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.640 became the NXT Tag Team champions. That was awesome for us. Yeah, 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.680 help the building for me. We all became the n 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.800 ACTUALLY tax team champions. That was cool. One quarter of 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.720 one third of the NX take right. It was great 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.080 technically five because I mean my partner he's there too, 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:03.320 So there's five five champ that's never been done. Yeah, 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:08.320 probably raised for that, but whatever, um So Floria Well, 0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:09.840 I said on the show, I wanted to give you 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.200 some device. So e y is just diving into his 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.960 fantasy football uh study right now, So give him a 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.240 player that he needs to be drafting this year. I 0:05:18.240 --> 0:05:21.679 don't think he's gonna like it, but I'm I'm with Frank. 0:05:21.760 --> 0:05:23.680 I know Frank feels very highly on these as well. 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.520 I'm with the duo of Andrew Luck and t Y 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:28.080 Hilton this year because I feel like both of them 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.719 have the potential and we've already seen them do it 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.080 to outlive their draft price. I can get to Hy 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:35.880 Hilton in the third round. Andrew Luck as like we 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.799 said the other day, like the tenth or eleventh quarterback 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.320 off the board. You compare him with someone safe. I 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:44.159 like taking that chance. And also you I mean, I 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.440 guess in my time on this show during football season 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:49.680 this year, my Blake Snell has been a Maori Cooper, 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.600 which is crazy because I never would have thought I 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.120 would be in an Amori Cooper. But I'm buying the 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.640 John Gruden effect and him always getting the most out 0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.680 of his number one wide receiver. The John Gruden effect, 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:02.160 by the way, I mean it is in full effect, 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.760 Like it is a real thing. It's even affected gambling odds. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.440 I mean the Raiders over under win total at nine games, Greg, 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:12.520 they have the same win total as the Los Angeles Rams. 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:18.839 Doesn't anyone else find that crazy? The Oakland Raiders? Yeah crazy? 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.920 I thought someone just like fire a cannon at us. Yeah, 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.120 that's one way to wake you up, Greg. The magic 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:27.559 eight ball that we have here, Just Phil, that's probably 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:32.080 a bad sign. For bad sign because you're leaving. Oh Mike, 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.520 all right, e y, I'm ARII Cooper you buying in? Uh? 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.160 Like I think he has all the tools. But I mean, 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.480 how many years are we going to do this to ourselves? 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:45.159 What year? Year, three, year four? Of Like, Oh, he's 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.880 the guy, he's the guy. He's the guy. He's not 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.720 the guy. He's never been the guy. And to me, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:53.479 I mean, I don't know, Jon Gruden hasn't been a 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.240 coach and how many years has he adapted as he 0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.880 had changed his philosophy. I mean he's saying he's going 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.960 back to football. Well that's I mean, we saw what 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:07.040 happened with Jeff Fisher when he tried football with the Rams. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.120 I think the Rams have more skill than the Raiders do, 0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:12.880 so I mean Mario Cooper could be in trouble. I 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:14.720 get it's a real thing. When he was a coach 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.680 forty years ago, his number one receiver did really well. 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.480 But football is different. There's three receivers on the field 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:24.480 almost all the time. The guys are in hurry up, 0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:26.560 they're throwing the ball twice as much as they used to. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.680 There's committee backs, there's all this different stuff. Did John 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.800 Gruden change I don't know. Well, I mean, we'll love 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:36.520 to see I think Marie Cooper his ADP is about right. 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.640 I mean, he could be a thing. He could be 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.400 a thing, but I probably not gonna happ him on 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.440 the name of my team's You know, it's amazing, um 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.520 Florio that you you kind of started off like you 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:48.480 while you're not gonna like this, you're gonna like this, 0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:50.840 and yet you didn't talk about the other dude you're 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.360 stupidly high on You're afraid you're gonna get punched in 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.680 the mouth. Which stud is this dude that's that has 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:58.520 been a football player in like a decade. I did 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.080 mention Angelo, but you didn't mention I didn't think you 0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:02.600 mentioned him to the height that he needed to be. 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.679 You think he's the fastest riser all the fantasy foot 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:08.360 I don't know if you agree or not, but I 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.840 think has Andrew Luck, Like there's already reports that he's playing, 0:08:11.920 --> 0:08:15.080 and he's looking like his old self. As those reports 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.280 come out, and as we start to if there is 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.560 if he is healthy, and we start to see it 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.680 and he plays well in preseason, I think he's going 0:08:22.760 --> 0:08:25.560 to climb up draft boards very quickly. And I don't 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.520 think Greggy agrees. That's no, that's the key. I mean, 0:08:28.800 --> 0:08:31.160 look at it. I mean nothing personal against Andrew Luck. 0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:33.360 I think football is better with Andrew Luck. I think 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.280 he's a great player. I love watching him play. He's tough, 0:08:36.760 --> 0:08:39.920 he's he's mobile, he's accurate. He can throw the ball 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.600 down the field. But look at he had a surgery 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.640 and he has a different throwing arm. I don't care 0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.600 what you say or how far medical science has advanced. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:50.600 He's got a different arm, and he's got to learn 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.920 how to play that. Go back and read interviews Drew 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.440 Brees when he was with the Chargers, he had his 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:59.240 arm surgically repaired. Okay, look, medical medicine has advanced since then, 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.360 but he talked about how he had to learn relearn 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.280 how to throw me. I love Andrew Luck, but until 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:10.920 I see it he's I'm not drafting him. I don't care. 0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.840 They said that he was gonna play last year, all 0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:16.559 the way up until like the fourth or fifth week there. Oh, 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.160 he's gonna be back. He's gonna be back. We didn't play. 0:09:19.240 --> 0:09:22.520 He didn't play a single down. He didn't throw a football. Yes, 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.360 he is technically a football player right now, but how 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.559 good of a football player? I think that's still that 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:30.280 still remains to be seen. Why if we get him 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:33.559 in preseason and we see him you know this classic 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.719 Andrew Luck slinging it down the field throughout the preseason 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.960 and training camp, will that, you know, lessen your concerns 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:43.960 about him? Absolutely? But I mean I haven't seen that. 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:45.880 I've heard here and say that he's throwing the ball. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:47.920 I've heard them say that he's throwing the ball, but 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.760 I haven't seen it. I haven't seen it. If if 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.800 he plays well in preseason, would you be willing to 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:56.680 draft him. I mean, no one will rock it up 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.720 higher than him too. For me, I mean nobody. They're deep, 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.600 They're might have the worst defense in the league. He's 0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.000 going to have to throw the ball. They didn't draft 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.560 a running back. They're stuck with whoever the hell they 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.640 have their Marlon Mack, these other two rookies that have 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:11.640 never played it down in the NFL. He's going to 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:13.800 have to throw the ball. They're going to have to 0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.360 throw it. I mean they're gonna throw to tow t 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:20.200 Y Hilton and who knows who else. But it's, uh, yeah, 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.880 it's it's uh, it remains to be seen. Like I 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:26.040 I have to see him play. He has to play preseason. 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:28.560 He has to be on the field when there's pads 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.600 and people are running at him and knocking them down, 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.160 and you know, like that's that all has to happen. 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.000 I'm not just gonna reach for him because people remember 0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.840 who he was three or four years ago. You know, 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:43.079 it's interesting, Mike, because you recommended Cooper, you recommended Luck. 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:48.040 You also once recommended this player Seattle's right top three 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.800 in rushing attempts every season that they drafted Russell Wilson 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.360 that ended in when they finished twentie I do believe 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:57.040 they want to run more this year and they're searching 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.520 to find a consistent starter. Last season they went and 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.360 acquire Eddie Lacy for a reason, and there will be 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.359 plenty of work for him if he can stay healthy. 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.079 It is also worth noting that Lacey is a career 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.640 of four point four yards per carry rate. While I 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:13.240 have soured a bit on Lacy throughout camp to his 0:11:13.280 --> 0:11:16.839 ankle issues and the resurgence of Thomas Rawls, I still 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.440 think he's worth a gamble. Your recommendation so the find 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:25.600 people up Rhado Experts was to draft Eddie Lacy. That 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:30.040 was terrible advice, terrible, but I did draft Edye Lacy myself, 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.840 so so you gave yourself terrible advice, and Mike, I 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:35.959 think a lot of people did. Mike Kedam ranked is 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:39.080 his rbe according to Rotal Experts rankings from last year, 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.720 which nine spots higher than the expert consensus ranking. Where 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.040 did it lay finishes? Do we know that oh man 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:51.880 here in front of me oh man, it was very bad. 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:55.679 He did get the work early on, and then he 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.319 was fat and hurt. And so let me ask you this, Floria, 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.640 are you now buying everything you wrote? Last year kind 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.679 of held true? Right Like they've gone away from the 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.640 running game even though they want to get back into it. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.679 They brought in Eddie Lacey, which was a disaster. Thomas 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:12.680 Rawls was never healthy, so disaster. This year they did 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.679 the other way. They use the first round draft selection 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.960 on Rashand Penny, who I know a lot of people 0:12:18.160 --> 0:12:20.880 in the draft community are buying into you. Are you 0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.839 buying right back in Mikey to the Seattle running game? 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.800 That's shot Penny. I do like Rashad Penny. I've taken 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:29.920 him in the fourth round of some early drafts, but 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:32.959 if he starts to get pushed up into like the third, 0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.240 which I don't think it is crazy. I've actually seen 0:12:35.280 --> 0:12:37.240 him go in the third round, I won't be taking 0:12:37.280 --> 0:12:39.480 him there. There's other running backs that I do have 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.520 ranked higher than him who go in that same area. 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.000 But I'm not shying off of Penny at all, Like 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:46.760 I have multiple shares with him already taking him in 0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.959 the fourth I think even early on. I might have 0:12:48.960 --> 0:12:50.640 got him in the fifth and one, but mostly in 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:54.160 the fourth round. Is my RB two e y Let 0:12:54.160 --> 0:12:57.960 me ask you, you know somebody that usually likes to 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:00.720 be a bit more conservative in several last Max s Penny, 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:03.640 rookie running back with Seattle. Is he somebody that you 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:07.080 feel comfortable at this point you're draft prep drafting, I 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:09.320 feel like a bit of it. I'm from the old school, 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:12.679 so I don't feel comfortable taking rookies ever. But I mean, 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:15.280 look at, like, like I said earlier, football has changed. 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:17.280 You know, like a lot of these guys are drafted 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.199 early and they're expected to play, and they're also expected 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.319 to play well. So you know, Chris Carson being there, 0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:27.320 I guess c J. Prosise could possibly still be a thing, 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.920 maybe third down back or whatever. But you know, here's 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.040 what we know about the Seattle Seahawks and Pete Carroll 0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:36.920 is it's a competition. The best running back is gonna play. 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:40.200 And there's nothing that I appreciate more than that. You mean, like, 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:42.240 I love that. That's the thing they spend all that 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.360 money on on uh what's his name, Flynn or whatever 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:48.280 it was the Green Bay Packers or they spent all 0:13:48.320 --> 0:13:50.800 that Matt Flynn, they spent all that money, and then 0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:53.160 they bring in Russell Wilson. They got him later in 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.360 the draft. He's short, he's this, he's that. No one's 0:13:55.360 --> 0:13:57.800 expecting him. And Pete Carroll said, look, he's a better 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.160 quarterback and he's a rookie, and I don't care. He's 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.319 gonna play because he gives us the best chance to win. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:04.600 So I think that's the best thing for Rashad Penny. 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.199 I mean, do we really believe that Chris Carson is 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.360 a better running back than Rashard Penny. I don't think 0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:11.880 I believe that. And I think Richard Penny is gonna start. 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.199 During the Power Hour Frank yesterday, which you can do, 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.679 you have a chance to check it out. We had 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.840 everybody we work with around this table drinking and talking football, 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:22.880 and one of the PPR backs we didn't get to 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:25.960 was Chris Carson. And we mentioned the ridic and we 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:29.520 mentioned Chris Thompson Chris Carson. We didn't mention, is there 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:33.840 any hindrance for you drafting Rashad Penny because of Chris Carson. No. 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.000 I have cooled a little bit. I know we when 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.160 we did the Who's this year's Todd Gurley, I spoke 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:43.479 about Rashad Penny um and I said, look volume Trump's efficiency, 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:45.360 And I mentioned last year, six out of the top 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.720 twelve running backs average four point zero yards for carrier less, 0:14:48.720 --> 0:14:51.400 so not great in terms of efficiency. So even if 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.720 the Seahawks offensive line isn't great, I think we're shot 0:14:53.760 --> 0:14:56.160 Penny can still be valuable. But you know, they're talking 0:14:56.160 --> 0:14:58.160 of Chris Carson more and more. I don't think that 0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:59.960 it's really I think, you know, they used the first 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:02.600 round pick on Rashad Penny for a reason. I've lowered 0:15:02.680 --> 0:15:04.480 him a little bit in my rankings. But I think 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.400 where Mike said, you know that three four swing, especially 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.600 if you get him in the fourth round, I do 0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:11.160 like that. I do think he's gonna be the main 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:14.880 back on this team. Ryan Schottenheimer. As boring of an 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:16.640 offense as you can get, they're going to run the 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:18.680 ball there, or at least they're going to try. And 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.840 I think it's gonna be with versus Penny. I'm not 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.560 really sipping this Chris Carson kool aid all that much. 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.080 Maybe he's in uh, you know, five to seven touches 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:27.720 per games something like that. I don't think he has 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.520 a significant role. Do you think Brian Shenheimer's signed Sean Green. 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:33.760 There's a chance you probably find him in like the 0:15:33.800 --> 0:15:37.520 CFL somewhere or whatever wherever Sean Green is right now, right, Yeah, 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:38.720 I'll probably find a way to get him in there. 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.240 Right there you go. Just breaking news Eric for you 0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:44.080 from Adam Schefter. The Titans have agreed to an extension 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.280 with Delanny Walker. So what do you talk about extensively 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:50.320 on the program yesterday? Um? Eric, are you we we 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.640 weren't sure about Delaney Walker if you can continue it right, like, 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.120 keep it going being as solid as he has his 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.520 entire career with your Titans. Do you feel comfortable drafting 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:03.360 Delaney Walk? Yeah, I mean comprules I feel drafting any 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:05.400 tight end around where he's gonna go. I mean, to me, 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:08.160 he's He's Jason Witten all over again. There's no way 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.960 the Delaney Walker, especially with the receivers that they have there, 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.520 is going to win you a league. That's not gonna happen. 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.560 If you want to tight end to when your league, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.280 then you gotta take Gronk in the second round, or 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.240 or Kelsey or or one of those guys. But Delaney 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:25.800 Walker is steady. And look at if you're drafting, if 0:16:25.800 --> 0:16:28.120 you're a person that has to get a tight end. 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.800 I mean all leagues have tight ends. Scott fish Bowl, 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:33.680 you know, puts a premium on tight ends. Delaney Walkers 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.440 as safe as it gets. He is the ten Tennessee Titans, 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:40.200 Jason Witten, he's the security blanket and he's reliable. Uh 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.560 and and uh. I mean you can't really do much 0:16:42.600 --> 0:16:46.080 better than that unless you want to draft really high, 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:48.560 right of course, unlessie want to draft the Zach Errs, 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.680 Travis Kelsey, Rold Grenkowski, Teer, Frankie. Yeah. And I think 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:53.960 you know the guys who spoke about yesterday, Jimmy Graham, 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:57.240 Greg Olsen, Evan Angram, Delaney Walker. That's really like the 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:01.000 I would say round five through seven agreed riving six, 0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:03.640 those of the tight ends, and I said, no to me. 0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:05.760 Out of that group, to Landy, Walker is the safest. 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.960 There's concerns over targets with the Giants, same thing with 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.800 the Panthers, and then you don't know how Jimmy Graham's 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:13.760 gonna work with Aaron Rodgers. So to me, Walker is 0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.560 the safest of that group. E Y sticking around. When 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.520 we come back, we hit moving to the wide receivers. 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.800 Have some more surprises coming your way. And the wide 0:17:20.800 --> 0:17:25.000 receivers that Floria recommended the draft last year. Um yeah, 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:30.840 we'll do that next.

We're 0:19:05.119 --> 0:19:08.359 happy for him. We're also sad to see him go. Uh. 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.840 You know, I feel for Frank Stamfel honestly, you know, 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.919 I know we joke around a lot, but you know, 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:16.879 frankin uh and Mike, you know, grew up together in 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:20.400 the same area in Queens. You know, there were schoolmates together, 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:24.240 et cetera. And what a great story about how the 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:26.639 two of them both started as interns and worked their 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:30.640 way up at the ranks in our company as best friends, 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.360 you know, both outside and inside the organization. And now 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.040 there's a fork in the road and it's gonna split, 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:40.720 going to towards Los Angeles, and you know, just I think, 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.040 I think, I think Frank and Mike or a great 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.919 story and uh, you know Mike. You know, I've had 0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.199 a lot of people work for me, but you know, 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:52.399 Mike was the one who like he never ever like 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.639 you know, gave me, uh gave me any reason to 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.360 ever be angry at him, you know, or like you know' 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:02.720 to ever stress over when his article was coming, or uh, 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:04.800 you know that he was gonna give me, give me 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.800 some you know, some pushback on something like one of 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:10.920 the best guys I would ever say I I'd ever 0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.760 work with. It's almost like maybe he's a long lost 0:20:13.800 --> 0:20:17.440 son of Nando Davino. This is like changing the channel 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:20.159 heat for me. I was like, there can only be 0:20:21.440 --> 0:20:24.520 coast man. You gotta hold down each coast. So Greg's 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:26.000 got to move to the middle of the country. There 0:20:26.040 --> 0:20:29.440 you go. You think you did very you do very well. 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:31.640 There I got. I got the middle of the country coverage. Alright, 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:34.760 No one, no one's messing with me over here out 0:20:34.760 --> 0:20:38.520 of all of us going, why how you doing?
