1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: What two three breaks down in the middle of the

2
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: failing Hello's football down in the one yard line? How

3
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: about that?

4
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 2: That is the ultimate kabash and we are underway.

5
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of the Action

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: Networks NFL podcast. I'm Matt Friedman, the editor in chief

7
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Labs. Free agency is approaching, and just last

8
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,559
Speaker 1: night we were recording this on Sunday. Just last night,

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,559
Speaker 1: news broke of the Antonio Brown trade. We're going to

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: break down that transaction what it might mean for fantasy

11
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, and we will also preview free agency

12
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: and look at the biggest names on the market. Here

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: to help me break all of it down is Ian Heart.

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,960

18
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: how is it going? I don't even know what to say.

19
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm still shocked about this Antonio Brown trade. What's up

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: with you the whole week man?

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: But my one takeaway from this week is that I

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: truly believe Antonio Brown is the best Bowls receiver of

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: all time.

24
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably except for Kelvin Benjamin, a close second to

25
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: Andre Reid. Okay, we will have another episode this week

26
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: in which we preview week six of the Alliance of

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: American Football. And by the way, what a game last night.

28
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you probably don't want to talk about it,

29
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,919
Speaker 1: but the Stallions at the Fleet. You had the money

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,199
Speaker 1: line for the Stallions that didn't work out. I had

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: the spread, So winner I am. Stallions came from behind

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: to get the epic back to recover. The Fleet got

33
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: the field goal however at the end as the clock

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: expired to get the victory. Great game. So we will

35
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: talk about all the Alliance action you want later this week.

36
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: But Ian, right now, let's get to that Antonio Brown trade.

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: Well to my thoughts in try not to jump on

38
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: Twitter and rage give us some notes.

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, the biggest thing with this, like, first of all,

40
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: props Antonio Brown, because the dude just pretty much threw

41
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: NonStop fits for the last three months and got exactly

42
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: what he wanted. He got more guaranteed money, He gets

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: to go live in Oakland and Vegas soon enough. I mean,

44
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: it's awesome to see some of these guys get what

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: they want. With that said, I don't think there's any

46
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: case to be made that he's entering a significantly worse

47
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 2: like fantasy situation in Oakland. I mean, look, Derek Carr

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: is not the worst quarterback in the league, but he

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 2: might be the worst quarterback in the league that's paid

50
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 2: to be an actually good quarterback. I mean, we have

51
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: twenty quarterbacks making at least fifteen million dollars per year.

52
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: He is dead last in yards per a tenth among

53
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: that group, and even just looking at his entire career,

54
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: like we've had forty three quarterbacks make at least sixteen

55
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: starts since twenty fourteen, car ranks thirty eighth and yards

56
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: per attempt twenty eighth, and completion rate twenty six and

57
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: touchdown rate. I mean, there are guys worse than him,

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: but when he's being paid to, you know, be an

59
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: actually good court, it's just tough to kind of have

60
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 2: that takeaway with the numbers he's put up. I understand

61
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen he had a pretty good year, but even

62
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: then we were talking before the podcast star his numbers

63
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen were pretty comparable to that. So it

64
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: seems like cars ceiling to this point is as an

65
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 2: above average quarterback. We'll see if ab can you bring

66
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: out the best in him. I think that would make sense,

67
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: but it's tough to get around. Man.

68
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the trade, and

69
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: it actually has nothing to do with the third and

70
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: fifth rounder that Oakland gave up. I think totally fine

71
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: to give that up. I think the bigger thing is

72
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: that it's a lot of money, a lot of guaranteed money,

73
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: especially for a guy who is thirty one and who

74
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: I think pretty objectively speaking, this is not, like for me,

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: a subjective thing, although people will say it is like

76
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: objectively based on a number of metrics, had one of

77
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: the lesser seasons of his career, so I understand that

78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: if you look over what he's done for the last

79
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: five years, you have a guy who is legitimately the

80
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: best wide receiver in the league. But I think that's

81
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: not the best way to view a guy who's going

82
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: to be thirty one and who is coming off the

83
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: season in which he declined. So I'm thinking they are

84
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: paying him as if he is the best receiver in

85
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: the league, and I don't think he's going to be

86
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: the best receiver in the league for the next three seasons.

87
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't think he's even going to be a top

88
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: five receiver for the next three seasons. So I don't know.

89
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 1: I mean, I think like two years from now, he

90
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: might not even be in the top ten. We'll see,

91
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts for twenty nineteen.

92
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 2: I think he's still capable of putting together a couple

93
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: more big years. And I think Matt Harmon made a

94
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: good point too that, look, he does have the perfect

95
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: skill set to move inside into the slot during the

96
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: later years. He really could thrive there. So that's something

97
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 2: we got to keep in mind. But I'm just I'm

98
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: not sure if we're going to see the same just

99
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 2: game breaking numbers, which is to be expected. He's aging,

100
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 2: it's like any other guy. But it just comes down

101
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 2: to Roethlisberger. Last four years, he's always been a top

102
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: ten quarterback in like percentage of passes that are deep balls.

103
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: You know, Steelers are constantly taking chances downfield. Derek Carr

104
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 2: is basically the anti Roethlisberger when it comes to that.

105
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 2: I mean, the only quarterback with a lower percentage of

106
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,799
Speaker 2: passes that went twenty yards downfield last season was Cam Newton.

107
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: Who like literally had shoulder surgery and admitted that he

108
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: could not throw the ball downfield, and Derek Carr was

109
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 2: right there with him in terms of that. So even

110
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: if AB's getting one hundred and fifty plus targets, I

111
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: still think they're gonna be nearly as fantasy friendly as

112
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: what we were seeing in Pittsburgh. And I mean, if

113
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 2: he was already getting double team NonStop with Juju Smith,

114
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: Schuster and some of these other assault athletes and receivers

115
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 2: on the field, I don't know what's going to happen

116
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,359
Speaker 2: in Oakland when defense has got picked between Antonio Brown,

117
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,239
Speaker 2: Seth Roberts, Jared Cook, and these guys.

118
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, the one thing I will say is that

119
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: he's played, you know, around fifteen games per year for

120
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: the last six years or so. So let's say that

121
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: that is what he does next year. Let's say that he,

122
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: instead of getting like eleven targets, gets maybe ten. I

123
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: think that's more realistic, and ten is still a really

124
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: high number, like that is what a top end wide

125
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: receiver gets. And let's say that instead of averaging a

126
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: sixty two percent catch rate, which is what he had

127
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and a sixty one point nine percent

128
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: catch rate, which is what he had last year, both

129
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: of which are you know, like really low numbers relative

130
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: to what he's done when he's been the best receiver

131
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: in the game. Let's say that with Derek Carr throwing

132
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 1: him shorter passes, that catch rate goes up. Let's say

133
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,559
Speaker 1: he goes up to sixty five. Like at that point,

134
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: you have a guy who is catching around one hundred passes,

135
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, per year. And so it is a situation

136
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: where even though he's not having the fantasy friendly down

137
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: the field passes because he's maybe getting shorter targets and

138
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: he's better at catching those or those are more accurate,

139
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: maybe like in a PPR league, those are still things

140
00:06:55,800 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: that can help his value. And maybe the question is,

141
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: like is he still able to accumulate yards after the

142
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: catch to where even if he's getting shorter targets, he's

143
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: still able to get you know, like thirteen yards or

144
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: so per reception. Last year he had twelve and a

145
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: half yards perception. So we'll just we'll have to see.

146
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: But I mean, he's still a guy who I think

147
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: this year he could have one hundred receptions, he could

148
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: have thirteen hundred dish yards like that is still really good.

149
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: I think his touchdown number is going to plummet like

150
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 1: it was fifteen last year. Like touchdown totals, those are

151
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: not sticky, like they are not really predictive year to year,

152
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: like the year before that he had nine. Like I

153
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: think we're closer to six or seven this year than

154
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: we are to fifteen. So I think he has a

155
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: probably still like a very respectable but like volume fueled

156
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: campaign from like a reception total in yard ish total,

157
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: but I think his touchdown total is going to be

158
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think nine is probably high in

159
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: terms of a projection, but that's I don't I don't know.

160
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean, what are your thoughts on it?

161
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: No, I think he nailed it the receptions in the yards.

162
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: I think he can definitely still keep up for these

163
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: next few years just on volume alone. But I don't

164
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: see him getting these same numbers when he's entering a

165
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 2: significantly worse scoring offense with a significantly worse quarterback. What

166
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: do you think about the rest of these Pittsburgh guys though?

167
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: I mean, Juju already had one hundred and sixty six

168
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: targets last year as the number two. I mean, sure

169
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 2: that could go up to one hundred and eighty, but

170
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: I mean Juju's ceiling is already like a wide receiver one.

171
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 2: I'm not saying he's not a wide receiver one, but

172
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's necessarily gonna take this massive

173
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: next step. I think the guys are really gonna ball out.

174
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 2: Ore James Washington and Vance McDonald.

175
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you, Like Juju's basically already there.

176
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: Like for him now, it's just a matter of degree

177
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: as opposed to like getting a huge infusion of targets,

178
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: although I think he probably will get more targets, And

179
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: I think like the bet is who is more productive

180
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: over the next three years, Juju or Antonio Brown. It

181
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprising that if Juju's the guy. But yeah,

182
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: James Washington, I think has a massive opportunity to take

183
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: a step forward. Vance McDonald, I'm a little less sold

184
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: on just because there's so much inconsistency and there's always

185
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: a question of like, is who is the guy who's

186
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: even getting a lot of the snaps that tied end

187
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: for that team. But the guy who actually I'm thinking

188
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: of is Jalen Samuels, Like I think he could be

189
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: someone who kind of starts to funnel away some of

190
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: those targets because I think he is, maybe at this

191
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: point behind Juju, like the second best pass catching option

192
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: on that team. Like he's a very good receiving threat.

193
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. I'm thinking. First of all,

194
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: I agree with you that Juju is probably gonna see

195
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: more targets, which makes me wonder, is he like the

196
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 2: favorite this year to be the target leader?

197
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: It's awesomele Like, I mean that offense last year led

198
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 1: the league. I believe in pass attempts yea, And that's

199
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: just kind of the way that they are going. Yeah,

200
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean there are a lot of targets there. Juju

201
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: already has a lot of targets, but like he's going

202
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: to get some more. I mean, DeAndre Hopkins, I think,

203
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: is always someone who has a good shot of leading

204
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 1: the league in targets, and then Davante Adams has a

205
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: shot at it too, But yeah, I think Juju is

206
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: down in the running for it.

207
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: That would be interesting. I'm really excited about Washington in particular.

208
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: We saw some preseason splash plays from him. He's just

209
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: one of those guys that even coming out of Oklahoma State.

210
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: I mean, he's known for being able to make those

211
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: contested catches and really get downfield, so he was being

212
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 2: used a little bit more later in the season. At

213
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: the very least, I think he's a guy that can

214
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: give us some splash weeks in DFS, even if he's

215
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: not the most consistent guy. But so I guess Jalen

216
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: Samuels would be the number three option in Pittsburgh now

217
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: that you think could at least provide the most consistency

218
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: because we've seen obviously them have a B and juju

219
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: support to guys and there's usually been a third, like

220
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: a Mark Davis Bryant type that the very least can

221
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: pop off for some big weeks.

222
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if the targets that have

223
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,959
Speaker 1: been going to wide receivers, if some of those get

224
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,239
Speaker 1: shifted a little bit more to one out of the backfield,

225
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's Samuels, Like he is just such

226
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: a dynamic receiver and I think like a better than

227
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: expected runner. You know. Then people thought he would be

228
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: entering the league last year, like he had a pretty

229
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 1: good stretch run in those couple of games where he

230
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: was an injury fill in. So I think he's someone

231
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: who could sort of emerge as like not even just

232
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: a change of pace back, but it's like like a

233
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: change of pace back plus who is just sort of

234
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: like all around, like always on the field, whether he's

235
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: lining up in the backfield or whether they're using him

236
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: as a slot receiver or whatever it is. I could

237
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 1: see them trying to get creative in the way that

238
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: they use him. All right, let's talk about some free agents,

239
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: and let's start with guys who have already signed or

240
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 1: who are you like slated to be going someplace. Kareem

241
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: Hunt to the Browns, Carlos High to the Chiefs, Andre

242
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: Ellington to the Buccaneers, Larry Fitzgerald returning to the Cardinals,

243
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: tight end Nick Boyle to the Ravens. I don't know

244
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: why we are even talking about these tight ends, Charles

245
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Clay to the Cardinals, Dwayne Allen to the Dolphins, and

246
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: then a bunch of pass rushers who have been franchise

247
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: tag to Marcus Loris, David Clooney, Frank Clark, d ford

248
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: Ian thoughts on these guys.

249
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we probably could have left the tight ends off,

250
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: that's fair, But yeah, no, I mean, looking at the top, obviously,

251
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt sticks out as the big name. You know,

252
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: we'll no more probably as the offseason progresses. I think

253
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 2: the big thing is how long his suspension will be

254
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: and if they'll give him time served for last year,

255
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 2: because it's if they give him time served for last

256
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 2: year when he was released. I mean, even a six

257
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: or eight game suspension is going to allow him to

258
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 2: be playing games in September. So it seems like from

259
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 2: what John Dorsey's been saying, like Duke Johnson is a

260
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 2: guy that they could look to trade in the future,

261
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 2: So I think they're just waiting to get word back

262
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: from the league. But at the very least, I think

263
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: Hunt and Chubb are going to kind of eat into

264
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 2: each other's worklow a little bit. The Browns offense is

265
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 2: looking pretty awesome at all levels anyway, so there might

266
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 2: be enough room for both guys to thrive. But in

267
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 2: terms of hunting Traub, I think being two running backs

268
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 2: that we were hoping to see get three down workloads,

269
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if that's realistic anymore, and then the

270
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: other one will quickly touch on Carlos Hide. With the Chiefs,

271
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: we saw Damian Williams emerges as an RB one. You

272
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 2: know when Hunt was gone last year, but the chief

273
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: said all the right things early on. You know, they're

274
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 2: confident and Williams's ability to continue to be that guy.

275
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: But then they go out and they signed Carlos Hyde.

276
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 2: So we've seen Andy Reid use committee backfields throughout his career.

277
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 2: Damian Williams is a guy that was pretty much expendable

278
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 2: and kind of a you know, switching from team to

279
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: team a little bit up until that stretch run. So

280
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 2: there's so much upside in that spot. But it makes

281
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 2: me nervous to touch out of the guy if it's

282
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: going to cost a high fantasy pick.

283
00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: I am really on Damian Williams, and this Carlos Hide

284
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 1: edition doesn't bother me at all. Okay, Hide has been

285
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: This is literally his fourth team in just under a year,

286
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: going from forty nine ers to Brown's to a Cup

287
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: of Coffee in Jacksonville and now in Kansas City. This

288
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, like I see him like is a

289
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: little more than like just depth. But like you know,

290
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: they need they need people like they need bodies. But

291
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: I just I don't see Hide being someone who really

292
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: significantly eats into what Damian Williams is doing, especially because

293
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: Williams is so much better as a receiver.

294
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I think that's a that's a fair point there.

295
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: So real quick though, Tampa Bay, Andre Allenton getting back

296
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 2: with Bruce Arians any chance?

297
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: No, I mean I think it's yeah, you know, it's

298
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: a tough situation because they actually do need someone to

299
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: step up and be a running back there. I just

300
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: don't know, Like Ellington's older, he's smaller. We're always conversations

301
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: about like are we moving him to wide receiver? So

302
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think he's just I think he's

303
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: just a guy. Like I think they're gonna give him

304
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: a shot. Maybe he can make the roster and he

305
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 1: can be you know, like a third down back you know,

306
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: every once in a while. But I just I don't

307
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: really see it. I don't know what would you think

308
00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: with him?

309
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: Probably not, But yeah, I'm just waiting for to see

310
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: who's gonna be this leader in Tampa Bay. I mean,

311
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: last time we saw an Arian's offense, we saw David

312
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 2: Johnson pretty much come out of nowhere and dominate fantasy.

313
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: So just kind of depends, I guess who can be

314
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 2: the starter there. I guess we can move on now

315
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: as some of the best available free agents. It's gonna

316
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: be tough to have too much analysis on these guys

317
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 2: until we obviously know what team they land on. But

318
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: a couple of these guys already we have a little

319
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: bit of an idea of where they first. Up. Nick Foles,

320
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 2: we're getting strong Jaguars vibes, and we'll see if Bortles

321
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: is still the backup. But Matt, what are your thoughts

322
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: on the Foles era in Jacksonville.

323
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: I think it will be better, better than any of

324
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: the other eras we've seen for the last decade. So yeah,

325
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: it's I mean, they have to do something. I think

326
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: Bortles is clearly not the answer. And as long as

327
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: they're not resigning like Blaine Gabbert or something, I think

328
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: almost anything is better than Portles.

329
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean you bring a good point about

330
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: Folds too. A lot of times people we tend to

331
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: erase Jared Gobb's first rookie season and Todd Gurley is

332
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 2: that terrible year he had because the Jeff Fisher factor.

333
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 2: And if we did that with Nick Foles, I mean

334
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: he's got a career sixty three percent completion rate, seven

335
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 2: point three yards per a town, sixty one to twenty

336
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: three touchdown interception ratio. I mean, he's been very legit

337
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: as long as Jeff Fisher is standing on the sideline.

338
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 2: So I'm interested to see what you can do at

339
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 2: Marque's lead, D D Westbrook, DJ Shark and these guys,

340
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: because yeah, I have always thought Jacksonville had a nice

341
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: little prop up with skill position players, even if portals

342
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: couldn't really get him consistently going.

343
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I entirely agree with that. I'm most excited about

344
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: the potential with TD Westbrook because you've said this before.

345
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: He has he been Nick Foles has a very good

346
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: deep ball, and I think that is one place where

347
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: Westbrook could really thrive. The one question I really have

348
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: is that we've seen Foles do his best when he's

349
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: been with I would say fairly innovative play callers, like

350
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: say what you want about Chip Kelly, but like the

351
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: full season with Chip Kelly was like a transcendent type

352
00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: of year that was like an all time great type

353
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: of quarterback season. And he was during his postseason run

354
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: with another I think pretty good play caller in Peterson.

355
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: So the question is like do they have someone in

356
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: Jacksonville who can help Foles sort of like unlock his potential.

357
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if they actually do so. I think

358
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: it's like as good of a signing as it can be.

359
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: It's just a question of how Foles is going to

360
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,440
Speaker 1: fit into the system that they build around him.

361
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 2: Good points, Yeah, and it's looking like Foles, out of

362
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: these remaining free agents, might be the only quarterback that

363
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: signs somewhere and is immediately locked in as a starter.

364
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 2: Other guy that has some potential of those Teddy Bridgewater.

365
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm hearing some rumors so that he could probably just

366
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 2: go back on a one year deal to the Saints

367
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 2: again and kind of maybe get like five million or

368
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: something in that range and keep being a backup. But

369
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 2: I'm not really I don't know. I've never been a

370
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 2: huge Bridgewater stand. I feel like even when he was

371
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,159
Speaker 2: starting with the Vikings and they made the playoffs, it

372
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: was more of a game manager type role and kind

373
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 2: of just feeding the rung game and that they have

374
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 2: some good defense they are in that time as well.

375
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: So like, do you see Teddy Bridgewater ever being kind

376
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 2: of an above our NFL quarterback?

377
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, not really not at this point, Like

378
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is that separates him from

379
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: case Keenum. You know, like that might sound like a

380
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: hard take, but I just like, I don't know at

381
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: this point, Like they seem to be kind of comparable. So, yeah,

382
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: he's someone who maybe will get a shot to start

383
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: at some point, but yeah, he feels like someone who's

384
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: always going to be kind of like straddling the line

385
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: between potential future starter and backup for now.

386
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point, all right. A couple other

387
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: notable free agent qbs Tyrod Taylor, Ryan Fitzpatrick, RG three,

388
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 2: Trevor Simmons, Sam Bradford probably still making money from the Cardinals.

389
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: I think ty God would be awesome as a Lamar

390
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: Jackson's backup in Baltimore. That'd be a fun little reunion.

391
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 2: And he just fits that offensive style. And I mean,

392
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 2: Ryan Fitzpatrick was so unbelievable last year. I know it

393
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 2: was kind of a random blimp and we can't expect

394
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 2: that same level of efficiency moving forward, but the guy

395
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: obviously still play a little bit of ball. Do you

396
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 2: have any thoughts on this group?

397
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think, as you said, ty God

398
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: would be a great fit for the Ravens and Fitzpatrick

399
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Like this might seem weird, but I would actually really

400
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: like to see him go to the Browns because he

401
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 1: has familiarity with Todd Monkin's system. I think he could

402
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: be a great like mentor from the bench to Baker Mayfield,

403
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: like someone who actually like does a really good job

404
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: of helping Mayfield prepare and become familiar with like the

405
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: subtleties of Monkin's system, and then someone who could It's

406
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: not as if like he has that same like Baker

407
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: Mayfield type of swag, but he kind of does a

408
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: little bit like like, I think he's someone that if

409
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: you needed, like if you had a team that had

410
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: a real shot in making the playoffs, and I think

411
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: they do with Mayfield, and then Mayfield's injured for a game,

412
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: I think absolutely fitz has a chance of be being

413
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: able to win that game for you. So yeah, I

414
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: don't know. I think he's someone if he he fits

415
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: I think in a particular way as someone who like

416
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: can win a game and as someone who can help

417
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: maybe a young developing quarterback just learn more of the game.

418
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 1: So I would like to see him in a situation

419
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: like that.

420
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense. I mean, yeah, his teammates seem

421
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: to love him. I forget the uh who sent it out,

422
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 2: but you know the Ryan Fitzpatrick compilation video of him

423
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: just kind of going nuts with his teammates and celebrating.

424
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 2: It's just full of good time. So yeah, I like

425
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 2: that Cleveland call as well.

426
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean these other quarterbacks I'm not too interested in.

427
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: They're kind of, you know, like veteran guys, older guys

428
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: who probably don't perform as well as they used to,

429
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: which of course makes me think long and hard about

430
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: a rectile dysfunction. True story, When I was in college

431
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: for an organic chemistry course, we had to do research

432
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: reports on various compounds, and to be a smart ass,

433
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: I did my report on edie medication. I don't want

434
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: to brag, but my professor was pretty impressed with all

435
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: of the research I did on drugs to prevent erectile dysfunction.

436
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: But he wasn't as impressed as you will be with

437
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: the doctors at Roman. Guys are terrible at taking care

438
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: of their health, whether it's a knee injury, bad back,

439
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: or something worse. Guys are usually more comfortable rubbing some

440
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: dirt on it. Than seeing a doctor. The same is

441
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: true for erectile this function. Studies show that seventy percent

442
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 1: of guys who experienced ED don't get treated for it. Thankfully,

443
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 1: Roman created an easy way to get checked out and

444
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,879

Speaker 1: Uh yeah.

465
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 2: I feel like all this kind of the whole Leveon

466
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: saga over the last year, I just distracted from the

467
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 2: fact that this is one of the best players in

468
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 2: football when he's right and when he's on the field.

469
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, running backs, I get it. I'm

470
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 2: not saying running backs and the most important position or anything

471
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 2: like that, but we have seen Leon Bell do more

472
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 2: at that position than almost anyone else. I mean, he's

473
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: one of only four running backs ever with at least

474
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 2: three seasons with at least seventy five catches. And I

475
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: mean he watched the guy. He lines up as a

476
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: wide receiver, he high points the ball. He's an amazing

477
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 2: route runner. So it's not like he's just getting constant

478
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 2: dink and dunks. And when he does get to dink

479
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 2: and dunks, he's no one's better as just putting your

480
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: foot down and breaking tackles and making some big plays

481
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 2: with that. So you know, always one of the top

482
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 2: guys and both broken tackles and success rate, which you

483
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 2: know he's really saying something because you watch him run.

484
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: He's you know, can't watch one football game without the

485
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: announcers talking about how patient Le'Veon Bell's running style is.

486
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 2: But he really does continue to get positive yards despite that,

487
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 2: and he's been I believe, top eleven and success rate

488
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: in the last three or four years. So I really

489
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 2: think he's one of these guys that can fit any offense.

490
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: And when he's going to be in there, he's a

491
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: guy that we've seen he's able to handle three hundred

492
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 2: to four hundred touches, you know, as both a runner

493
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 2: and receiver. So I think anywhere he goes, he's gonna

494
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: immediately be another top five fantasy back. And I think

495
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 2: maybe New York Jets would be the best case.

496
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there are rumors, you know, the Jets

497
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: are interested. Some people have linked him to the Colts,

498
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: although I don't I don't know how likely that is,

499
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: but I do agree with the premise that wherever he goes,

500
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: he is going to be a top five fantasy back.

501
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: I think that is very realistic. The question that I

502
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: have primarily with him, well two questions. One, I don't

503
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: want him to go to Oakland because I have a

504
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: bet that he and Antonio Brown will not be on

505
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 1: the same team in twenty nineteens a one. I just

506
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: don't want him to go to Oakland, although I think

507
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: that actually has a real shot of happening. So anyway,

508
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 1: that's one thing. But sort of like tied with that

509
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: is like Oakland is not a good team. Like I

510
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: think that's sort of like objectively speaking, like they will

511
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: probably be better this year than they were last year, but

512
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 1: they're still not a great team. Is he going to

513
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: go someplace where he is in a good offense and

514
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: has the chance of winning a Super Bowl? But if

515
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: that's the case, maybe they have another good running back

516
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 1: already and he doesn't get the workload that he used

517
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: to get, or is he going to just chase the money?

518
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: And if he does that, which I think is the

519
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: likelier possibility, that means he will probably be with the

520
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 1: team that is not as good and he will probably

521
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: as a result, be in a less efficient offense, not

522
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: have some of the same opportunities he used to have

523
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: with the Steelers, but he still might get a lot

524
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: of action because you have a team that is just

525
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: wanting to, like prove that they were you know, quote

526
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: unquote wise to invest so much money in a running back. So, like,

527
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: those are the different situations, the two ways in which

528
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 1: I could see things playing out with him, And in

529
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: the end, I think it's probably a wash. Regardless of

530
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: like where he goes, I think he will probably still

531
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: end up in that like running back three to running

532
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: back seven type of range, you know what I mean.

533
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think his worst case scenario is pretty much

534
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 2: twenty eighteen David Johnson, where maybe he ends up on

535
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 2: a team which is bad quarterback, bad offensive system, but

536
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 2: he's still going to be getting fifteen to twenty touches

537
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 2: per game. I think when that's all said and done,

538
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 2: we'll look at the ppr RB rankings and he'll be

539
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: towards the top.

540
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. After him, I think there's a pretty

541
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 1: steep drop off. But you know, we have a group

542
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: of guys Tivi and Cole, someone who really exhibited a

543
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: lot of explosive qualities in his four years at Atlanta

544
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: but never really got the chance until last year and

545
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: then you know, just injured. It wasn't even a great

546
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: situation all the way around. Mark Ingram J J I. E.

547
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: Those are two guys who are also on the market.

548
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on those guys?

549
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said it with Coleman. I mean, we've had

550
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 2: eighty four running backs have at least one hundred and

551
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 2: fifty carries since Coleman entered the league in twenty fifteen.

552
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 2: Coleman's fifth in the highest rate of runs for at

553
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: least fifteen yards. So he's really been popping off big

554
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: plays his whole career. And I mean I put out

555
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,479
Speaker 2: a video on my Twitter of some of these catches

556
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 2: he has when he gets a chance to line him

557
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 2: as a receiver, and the guy is so smooth and

558
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 2: really all fasts of the game. He's never had even

559
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: fifty targets in the season, which is just criminal. I

560
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: know the Falcons were still awesome. You know, they have

561
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 2: a bunch of weapons on that offense, but I still

562
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: feel like they just did not get Tevin involved enough.

563
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 2: He averaged thirteen point one PPR points per game without

564
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 2: Devonte Freeman nine point seven, So I guess reasonable to expect,

565
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 2: you know, wherever he's going to go at the very least.

566
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen RB two kind of flexes his

567
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 2: floor even as the number two RB in his offense.

568
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 2: So ideally I'd like to see him up in Philly

569
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 2: or somewhere where we get to see him have an

570
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 2: opportunity to be that top guy, because he's one of

571
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: these few backs in the league that can be both

572
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 2: a really good runner and receiver. Quickly, on mark Ingram,

573
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 2: I think it's important to note with him, he really

574
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 2: has never had that huge of a workload in New Orleans.

575
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: I mean, he's never had over two hundred and thirty

576
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: carries in the season. I was surprised to find he

577
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 2: only has two hundred and eighty more career carries than

578
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 2: Todd Gurley, even though he entered the league four years

579
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 2: earlier than Gurley. So even though he's twenty nine years old,

580
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 2: I think Ingram still does have some you know, I

581
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 2: can see him having they're good year too. I don't

582
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,199
Speaker 2: think he's washed up just yet, even though he is

583
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: getting up there in age. And then for Jaya Jaii,

584
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: only thing worries me with him, and I think we

585
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: have enough evidence now that it's going to be tough

586
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 2: for him to be a featured running back anywhere. The

587
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 2: injuries keep coming back, and we also just have no

588
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,439
Speaker 2: evidence of him being a even okay receiver, He's never

589
00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 2: even gotten to thirty catches or over two hundred receiving

590
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 2: yards in the season. Yeah, I mean he pops off

591
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 2: some big runs. I love the you know, two hundred

592
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 2: plus yard games in the season where he's one of

593
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 2: four backs with that. But I just don't know if

594
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: a Gie's gonna a find a team to give him

595
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 2: enough money to warrant being the feature back and be

596
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 2: even have that ability.

597
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: Okay, I agree with everything you said there, except I

598
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: mean not except, but really I mean, Jage, I grant

599
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: that he's not a good receiving back, but you know,

600
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 1: it's like that situation where if you say one thing

601
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: long enough and you just sort of keep on repeating it,

602
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: eventually at some point it's going to come true, and

603
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: then you know you can be the person who was like, yes,

604
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,719
Speaker 1: I was always on this, Jaji. Yeah, in the NFL,

605
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: he hasn't done anything to show that he can really

606
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 1: be a receiver. But he was actually a very good

607
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: receiving back in college, and like it took mark ingram

608
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: At a few years in the NFL to become a

609
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: competent receiving back. But like in Alabama, he was actually

610
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: a decent receiver. Like, I think that there is a

611
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: path for a JII to be a better receiver than

612
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: he has been, but like, I still don't know if

613
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: that's going to matter, because I agree with you, he's

614
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: not going to be someone who is a lead back.

615
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: And I think the same as true of mark Ingram

616
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: and the same with Tivin Coleman. I don't think any

617
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 1: of those guys is really going to get the opportunity

618
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: to be a lead back, even if they maybe had

619
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: the like the potential to do it, like they have

620
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: the capability of being able to do it just because

621
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: of them, I don't think a team is going to

622
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: trust them enough to do it or pay them enough

623
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: to do it.

624
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the paying them is a good point

625
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: you brought up at Levyon earlier. I mean, looking at

626
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: these contracts is going to be important because look, if

627
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 2: the team's paying a running back to be a top

628
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 2: five guy, Like that's why we were so hyped about

629
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 2: Jack McKinnon last year. Yeah, he had he hadn't had

630
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 2: the massive workload in the past, But when the forty

631
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: nine ers are making him a top five paid running

632
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 2: back in the league, like, why would they not feed

633
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: him if they're investing that much in them. So these

634
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: contracts and the guaranteed money will be some to keep

635
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 2: a close eye on. There's another group of running backs

636
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 2: who kind of have varying degrees of three down ability,

637
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 2: and I guess just overall goodness. TJ. Yelden, Mike Davis,

638
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: C J. Anderson, Spencer ware Marshawn Lynch, Adrian Peterson, Darren Sproles,

639
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 2: Otavius Murray, Quarterell Patterson. A bunch of running backs that

640
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 2: have showed flashes of a you know, major ability over

641
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 2: the years, but don't really seem to be in a

642
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 2: position necessarily get a ton of work. Matt Any thoughts

643
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 2: on these guys.

644
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean C J. Anderson a generational talent, I

645
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: mean you have I mean, where has had like a

646
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, year and a half of decent production at

647
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: some point in his career. Lynch and Peterson are two

648
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: guys who are, you know, like Hall of Fame type

649
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: of guys. Sprolls has been one of the best past

650
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: catching backs when healthy of the past, you know, like

651
00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: five seven years. The existence of guys like this is

652
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: why I think it's never really smart to spend a

653
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: lot of money on running backs, you know what I mean.

654
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: So although Le'Veon bell is I think one of the

655
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: best running backs in the league, I wouldn't want to

656
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: be the team that pays him as if he is

657
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: the best running back in the league.

658
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: Agreed. And then another thing to keep in mind with

659
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 2: these guys too, Tavis Murray for example. I mean, if

660
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: they're not getting re signed by their former team, that

661
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 2: could be a good sign for the incumbent back, you know,

662
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook obviously here maybe if the Sprolls is gone,

663
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 2: that could mean an enhanced receiving role for Corey Clement

664
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: or something like that. So always important to keep in

665
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 2: mind when the person leaves, what who will fill their

666
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: old role on that team?

667
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? Great point there. Let's transition to the wide receivers.

668
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,959
Speaker 1: Who do you think is the top guy in this class? Like,

669
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: I have my sense of who the top guy is,

670
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: but who do you think it is?

671
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 2: Mister John Smokey Brown. We're talking about the wide receiver

672
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,239
Speaker 2: twenty two and PPR before or Lamar Jackson came in

673
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: and just completely nosedive the entire Ravens passing offense. I mean,

674
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: as long as Brown is healthy. I know he has

675
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: the sickle cell trade thing that's given him a bunch

676
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 2: of problems, but it seemed like he was finally able

677
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: to get past that last year, and we have just

678
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 2: loads of evidence that whenever he's on the field, he's

679
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 2: one of the best receivers in the game. Pretty much.

680
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 2: He's only one of eleven guys outaging at least fifteen

681
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 2: yards per catch since twenty fifteen minimum hundred catches. I mean,

682
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: I'm not saying John Brown's, like, for sure a top

683
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: ten receiver or anything like that, but at the very least,

684
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 2: he's an overqualified field stretcher, and I'd love to see

685
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: him on a team that actually gives him a chance

686
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: to be a legit number one or number two receiver.

687
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: I totally agree with you, And he was the guy

688
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: like for me that I was thinking is the number one.

689
00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: I don't know, Like part of me would be like, oh,

690
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: it would be so great if he could reunite with

691
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 1: Bruce arians in Tampa Bay and kind of play like

692
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: the Deshaun Jackson role. But you know, who knows what's

693
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: going to happen with d Jacks. He's still technically under

694
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: contract and it seems like they want to try to

695
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: keep him. But back to John Brown, totally agree. It's

696
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: always a question of health with him. But when he

697
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: was healthy and when he had Flacco on the field,

698
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 1: who's someone who's you know, like, say what you want

699
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: about him. I think like, at worst, he's a league

700
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: average quarterback. You know, his style of play suited John

701
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: Brown so much more than Lamar Jackson's style of play did.

702
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: If you put Brown with someone who is, you know,

703
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: just like your typical type of quarterback, I think he

704
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: could be a thousand yard type of receiver with you know,

705
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, like five to eight touchdowns and that's

706
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: not like huge, but for someone that you're getting in

707
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: free agency who's not going to cost a lot of money, like,

708
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 1: that's pretty significant. And I think what he can do

709
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of your offense as a field stretcher

710
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: is also pretty important. And like those secondary effects I

711
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: think tend to be undervalued, but that is something that

712
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: he really adds to a team.

713
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And I think the secondary effects of what

714
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: makes him the number one guy to me, I mean,

715
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: we got other people Golden Tate, Jamison Crowder, to players

716
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 2: with the ball in their hand, but only a few

717
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: guys like John Brown. You could probably say Tyroll Williams

718
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: is another type of guy, like you need to put

719
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 2: a safety over top of them, otherwise you run the

720
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 2: risk of them running straight past your corner and scoring

721
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: a long touchdowns, which we've seen Brown do throughout his career.

722
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, he's easily my number one guy. What do

723
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 2: you make of And we got Golden Tape, Devin Funches,

724
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 2: I mentioned Crowder and Williams. Who do you kind of

725
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 2: think is the number two guys?

726
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: Williams is probably number two for me, although I do

727
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for Golden Tate in what

728
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: he was able to do in his almost five years

729
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: with Detroit, but he is older at this point. Now,

730
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: I think there is a question of kind of like

731
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: where are you going to play Golden Tate. Is he

732
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,839
Speaker 1: a slot only type of guy or does he have

733
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: more versatility where you can put him on the outside,

734
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: Whereas with Williams, he's younger, he's still in peak athletic

735
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: I guess like capability right now, I think you can

736
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: play him a little bit in the slot if you

737
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: need to, but like you can kind of move him

738
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: all over the offense, which is why I probably have

739
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: him a little bit ahead of Golden Tate. But the

740
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: one guy I definitely don't want any part of his

741
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: Devin funches. That's just I know, he's like that big

742
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: physical guy who flashed a little bit, but he's never

743
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 1: really been able to put it all together. And he's

744
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: still young. But I don't know, man like if a

745
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: guy hasn't really done much through his first four years

746
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: and he wasn't really someone who put up good production

747
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: in college, like, I'm just I don't know, Like I'm

748
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: just gonna be out on him. I would rather have

749
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: a rookie.

750
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're on something there. I was impressed.

751
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: I was watching a little bit of his films this

752
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:35,839
Speaker 2: last year, and he does have some nice route run

753
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: He'll show some nice route running at times, and I

754
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: would like to see him. I mean, I like him

755
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 2: Newton a lot, but I would like to see him

756
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 2: in more of a I guess normal pass offense and

757
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 2: what Carolina does. I don't know if it's the most

758
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: wide receiver friendly offense that he could be in, because

759
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 2: we have seen him play much better without Greg Olsen

760
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,959
Speaker 2: in the lineup and those figures got skewed a little

761
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 2: bit towards the end of last season when Cam really

762
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 2: just couldn't throw the ball downfield at all. Yeah, I'm

763
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 2: not giving up on Funches just yet, but yeah, I'm

764
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 2: with you. I don't think he's like a number one

765
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 2: by any stretch. He's if a team can get him

766
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 2: cheap and just have him in that role as a

767
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 2: red zone threat that you're not forcing eight to ten

768
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 2: targets a game two, then you know, sign me up.

769
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't want him as a number one.

770
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 2: And I think that's the problem we're going to see

771
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 2: with Golden Tate and maybe Crowder and some of these

772
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,759
Speaker 2: other guys that I don't think they're going to go

773
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 2: to a new team and all of a sudden see

774
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 2: eight to ten targets per game. I mean, we saw Tate,

775
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: he was getting nine point nine targets per game in Detroit.

776
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: He gets traded to Philly goes all the way down

777
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: to five point seven. So especially, you know, new quarterback,

778
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 2: new system, really got to keep our expectations and check

779
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 2: I think for how involved these guys are going to

780
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 2: be from the get go.

781
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree with that. The one thing with

782
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: funchs is that he strikes me as a kind of

783
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief type of player, just in terms of, like,

784
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's big, he has a good athletic profile,

785
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: but was never really able to put it all together.

786
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: So that said kind of like going Dante Moncreef like

787
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 1: career trajectory in reverse. If Devin fun just ended up

788
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: with a team like the Colts, then I would I

789
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 1: would be much more interested. But I think it's for him,

790
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: it is totally dependent on where he lands, Whereas for

791
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,320
Speaker 1: some of these other players like John Brown, I'm probably

792
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: gonna be interested in him almost regardless of where he lands,

793
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: unless it's like with you know, two or three teams

794
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: where the quarterback situation is so bad I just want

795
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: to avoid it. But I will be interested in Funches

796
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: only if he lands with a handful of teams.

797
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. I agree with you there,

798
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: speaking of Moncreef. So we have a couple other wide

799
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,360
Speaker 2: receivers that we'll see get picked up by various squads,

800
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure if they're re signed, but these

801
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 2: guys include Adam Humphries, Randall Cobb, Moncreef. As we said,

802
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,720
Speaker 2: Michael Crabtree, Philip Dorsett, Chris Hogan, Cole Beasley, and Mike Wallace,

803
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 2: among some other guys, and his names stick out to you, Matt.

804
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Randall Cobb, I guess, but I don't know.

805
00:37:56,719 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's not as old as you think he

806
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: would be for someone who has seemingly seemed so old

807
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: for the last like five years, but he's still fairly young.

808
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,200
Speaker 1: Crabtree is actually the guy who maybe sticks out to

809
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: me the most because, like, I think he's still a good,

810
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 1: like all around professional type of NFL receiver. Like he

811
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: he doesn't separate all that well at this point, but

812
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: he was never really all that great at separating anyway.

813
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: But like, I think he could still be a good

814
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: veteran receiver for a team that needs it. But I

815
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: think it's just a question of how expensive is he

816
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: going to be. I don't think he's going to be

817
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,240
Speaker 1: all that expensive. So yeah, of those guys, he's probably

818
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: the one who stands out the most of me. And

819
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: then like I would say, the slot variety like Adam Humphries,

820
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: I'm not really all that interested in him. I maybe

821
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: kind of prefer Cole Beasley a little bit to Adam Humphries,

822
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Still, neither one of them really

823
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: excites me. Is a slot option. Yeah.

824
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 2: The one thing I'll say with this group is I'm

825
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:00,840
Speaker 2: very interested to see how Philly finishes out there receiver groups.

826
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: I mean with the Antonio Brown stuff. I mean, the

827
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 2: reports were saying Philly and Oakland were kind of the

828
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 2: two top teams buying for his services. And we saw

829
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 2: that offense last year in twenty seventeen when they wanted all.

830
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 2: You know, Tory Smith wasn't the number one receiver or anything,

831
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 2: but he was always out there. It was always a

832
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: deep threat defenses had to respect a little bit. Last year,

833
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 2: they brought in Mike Wallace to do that. He got hurt.

834
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 2: Like week two, Mac Collins their poor Man's Smith or

835
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 2: Wallace he also got hurt. And they really just had

836
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: a lack of speed on the field, which you know

837
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 2: is a problem when al Sean and zach Ertz are

838
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 2: kind of limited in what they can do deep down

839
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 2: the field. You know, Nelson Aglore was able to kind

840
00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: of come on a little bit towards the end of

841
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: the year, but we've seen him thrive more than the

842
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 2: slot as well. So I'll be very interested to see

843
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 2: if a guy like John Brown Tyler Wallon ends up

844
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 2: on Philly.

845
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, John Brown is the one I'm really hoping kind

846
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: of goes to Philly. Not even so much because like

847
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: I like Philly or like I think, I don't know,

848
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: I just like I think it would be like he

849
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: would be the guy that they've been trying to get,

850
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: Like they've been trying to get someone like him with

851
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: his skill set for the last few seasons and it

852
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: just hasn't really worked out where they've been able to

853
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: get a guy who actually does what he does and

854
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 1: can produce. But I think Brown can produce in that system,

855
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: So I think that would be good.

856
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: Agreed. All Right, We got two tight ends to briefly

857
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 2: talk about before we wrap this thing up. Mentioned before,

858
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 2: I mean, not a lot of huge names on the market,

859
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 2: but we do have Jared Cook, who just had a

860
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: career year in Oakland amidst that four and twelve season.

861
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 2: And also Tyler Eifert, who you know has been banged

862
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: up pretty much every single season, but when he's on

863
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 2: the field, I mean, he scored nineteen touchdowns in his

864
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,279
Speaker 2: last twenty seven games, and we saw him play limit

865
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 2: snaps and still maintain some fantasy relevance last year before

866
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 2: he got hurt. So you interested in either of these

867
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: guys from fancy next year? Are just going to kind

868
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 2: of be one of those things where it depends where

869
00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 2: they land.

870
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, just in passing, I think it's great

871
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: for Antonio Brown that Jared cook isn't going to be there.

872
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: He can just get all of his targets. But yeah, no,

873
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: Jared cook Man, I don't know. I think it was

874
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,760
Speaker 1: a situation in Oakland where they were just so bereft

875
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 1: of talent at the wide receiver position that he was

876
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: able to soak up a lot of opportunities that on

877
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,439
Speaker 1: a better team wouldn't be there. So he's someone who's

878
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: always had talent, well let me rephrase that always had

879
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 1: the potential to produce, And there's been a lot of

880
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: inconsistency with him, and I think last year he kind

881
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: of put it all together in part just because he

882
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: got so many opportunities. But he's older and he's not

883
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: all that great of a blocker. So I don't know,

884
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:38,280
Speaker 1: Like I just I don't know what team is really

885
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: going to want him and use him in such a way.

886
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: To make him really fantasy attractive next year. And then

887
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: Tyler if like so much potential, but yeah, I'm just

888
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: scared that, you know, he's going to be on the

889
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,160
Speaker 1: field for three snaps and then like break his leg

890
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: or something.

891
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 2: Fair points. Yeah, I mean I don't see Cook finding

892
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 2: any team where he's going to be like the the

893
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 2: fact that number one receiver again like he had last year.

894
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know if any of these guys

895
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: are gonna be too high on many fantasy radars. Some

896
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 2: other free agents c j Uzoma, I mean, we have

897
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 2: seen Cincinnati with it with the tight end has been

898
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 2: involved in the red zone, so we'll also happen there.

899
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 2: Austin Safarian Jenkins didn't really work out in Jacksonville last year,

900
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 2: but still a guy I hold a few I got

901
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 2: a few shares of asj Stock left. And then we've

902
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 2: got Jeff Hireman in Denver and Dimitrius Harris, who actually.

903
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 1: He's the one who's most interesting to say.

904
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: I mean we saw him kind of work as like

905
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 2: a poor man's Travis Kelcey at times. I mean, super

906
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: athletic guy. If he gets like a number one tight

907
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 2: end spot somewhere, I'm not quite sure if his blocking's

908
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 2: a good enough to get that role, but he could

909
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: be the guy.

910
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's someone who has kind of like Marcellu's Bennett

911
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: type of potential, where like Bennett was with the Cowboys

912
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,240
Speaker 1: for four years just behind Jason Witten doing basically nothing,

913
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 1: and then you know, went to the Giants for a

914
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:02,839
Speaker 1: year and was good there and then kind of made

915
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: his way around the league and was always pretty solid.

916
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: I think Harris, like, if it works for him, that

917
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:10,319
Speaker 1: is the type of player he's he's going to be.

918
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 1: The obvious difference is that Bennett entered the league as

919
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: a second rounder and Harris entered the league as an

920
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: undrafted free agent. I'm pretty sure, So pretty massive difference,

921
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: just a little bit, But no, I like, I think

922
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 1: if it works out for him, that is that is

923
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: the way in which it would work as someone who

924
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: kind of learned the position in the NFL for years

925
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 1: playing behind someone else or alongside someone else who is
