12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: Zeke Mass and Antonio Brown's nasty feet. I wonder if

13
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: he posted it on Twitter. I can't see because he

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: blocked me, but I saw it on I G. I

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: know he put it on Instagram, and I when I

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: first saw it him like it's like some sort of

17
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: ancient relic statue, like it was dug up Pompey or something.

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: It was like gross, man man, you know, and we're

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: going to talk about all this off but like this

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: this preseason, we we can't have nice things. No, we

21
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: can't note between Zeke and Melvin and Abe's feet. It's

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: it's getting to the point where I've grown a bit frustrated. Yeah,

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: it's uh, it has been great. People are asking us,

24
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: is Gordon going to play a Zeke gonna play? What's

25
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: going on with Abe's feet? I wish I knew. Yeah,

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: I wish I knew. I can venture guesses, but I

27
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: wish I knew for sure. Um, yeah, that's that's the thing.

28
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: And I started just kind of saying like, look, I

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: I just don't know. You know, I can tell you

30
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: what what my opinion is, but I I really just

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: don't know. And so that's kind of the way I've

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: looked at it. Um. But to talk about we got

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: some news headlines, of course, and the preseason for real

34
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: gets going. You know, the Hall of Fame game was

35
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: last week, but preseason week one hits starting on Thursday.

36
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: Still pick a few games, kind of talk about those

37
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: and what we are looking for going into the week.

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: And the Hard Knocks got started last night too, So

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: we'll talk about Hard Knocks episode one, some of the

40
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: things that that's stuck out to us, uh, and just

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: have a good time with Outside of Aby's Feet, Outside

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: of a Bies Feet but there you go. So before

43
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: we do all that, though, of course, we'll go behind

44
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: the glass as always in talk to our faithful producer,

45
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: Senior Edward L. Murphy. Esquire Murph, what's up? I was

46
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: gonna say, I'm I am very excited to have Fabs back,

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: And then he walks in the studio with the Cowboys

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: had on. But the one bright spot a little. People

49
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: are saying Zeke may not play Week one versus the Giants,

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: so that gives us a potential shot for that Tony

51
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Pollard train. Yeah, well are our chances of winning have

52
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: gone from two point five percent to five percent? So

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: I'm very excited by the way, ed How about our Yanks,

54
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: It's great, dude, It's so great. Boston's like fifteen and

55
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: a half games out. They suck. We kicked their butts. Yeah,

56
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: four games sweep, feeling good and we still have all

57
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: of these injuries. No, yeah, weird injuries, and we got

58
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: bashed for not making he was the deadline and we've

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: been in a hot streak since then, so I'm quite pleased. Yeah,

60
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: everything I hear about the Yanks, it is all I

61
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: hear about. Let the guys that are hurt, like I

62
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: feel like you guys don't have any have never seen

63
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: anything like this. And I'm not even just saying that

64
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: because I'm a die hard Yankees fan. I've never seen

65
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: a team go through so many injuries to so many

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: prominent players and still succeed like the Yankees have. Yeah,

67
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: Like it will get into hard knocks later, and they

68
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: should have been about like the trainers, what they deal

69
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: with on a day to day basis, with like the

70
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: coaches and making sure the players do treatment. It's like,

71
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: if you're the Yankees, like training staff, I don't even

72
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: know what must be going through your head, like your

73
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: job security, because like the getting two foul balls in

74
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: a roll off the same spot in your knee cap,

75
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: Like how do you even press? Yeah, I know, it's unreal.

76
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: Um I I always say when it comes to like catchers, goalkeepers, Um,

77
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: it's just a special kind of person like that would

78
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: put yourself purposely in the way of a speeding projectile. Yeah,

79
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: it just it takes a special kind of person takes

80
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: that ball off. Is like they like, oh my goodness, gracious,

81
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: it's just been unreal. All right, welcome to Yankee our Alright,

82
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: let's all right there, you go okay, let's let's move.

83
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: Let's do some news. Well, we mentioned that Ezekiel Elliott.

84
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: There are reports out there saying that he will not

85
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: play in nineteen without a new contract. There are other

86
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: reports saying that the Cowboys have made him a quote

87
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: generous offer. Now they're just waiting for him and his

88
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: team to come to the table and see if they

89
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: can work things out. There's still a large faction of

90
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,239
Speaker 1: you know, of us out there who you know, don't

91
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: have any sort of inside knowledge, who still believe that

92
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: these two sides will figure something out and that they

93
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,839
Speaker 1: that Zeke will be there in week one. But factly

94
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: we sort of alluded to it like we don't know,

95
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: but you know, we still have to try to make

96
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: a decision Fantasy draftwise about what to do with Ezekiel.

97
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: So as we sit here recording this on August seven,

98
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: two nineteen, what are you doing about Zeke? I moved

99
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: him down a few spots, so I put cm SE

100
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: and Camara ahead of him. Obviously, say Klan was already

101
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: at number one, and I believed a couple of weeks

102
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: ago that this would be resolved and that he wouldn't

103
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: miss any time. This is not the same situation as

104
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: Levian Bell. It's not the same situation as Melvin Gordon. Uh.

105
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 1: Elliott is not slated to become a free agent in UH,

106
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: this is this is an odd, odd scenario. And this

107
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: August six sort of deadline came and went, and now

108
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: we're looking at is he going to miss regular season games?

109
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: Are we going to see a repeat of the ninety

110
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: three situation with Emmett Smith where he missed a couple

111
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: of games and Tony Pollard's now moving on up. I

112
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: don't know that he would be the guy. That's something

113
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: that we need to watch when the Cowboys play in

114
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,559
Speaker 1: Week one to see which running back or running backs

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: gets most of the work. But I've started to become

116
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: a little bit concerned, not only as a fantasy analyst,

117
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: but also as a Dallas Cowboys fan. As you can

118
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: tell they had Yeah, I mean, I'm still I'm still

119
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: believing he's going to be there. And you you mentioned

120
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: the MT Smith thing, and that's kind of the thing

121
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: that I keep coming back to, right because Jerry Jones

122
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 1: was still the owner there and he sort of took

123
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: this hard line back then about we're not going to

124
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: pay him at Smith and then the Cowboys came out

125
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: of the gate and they lost their first two games,

126
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: and suddenly, uh, you know, Jerry kind of softened on

127
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: that and him and got what he wanted and he

128
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: came back and the Cowboys were good again. UM. So

129
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: I'm sort of believing that, you know, um especially you know,

130
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: they've put out offers, you know, to Zeke, to Doc,

131
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: to Mark Cooper, and if I if I'm not mistaken,

132
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: those offers would make them all top five at their

133
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: respective positions. I think Zeke is looking for top three,

134
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: and that maybe what part of the sticking point is.

135
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: But uh hey, look for all of you out there

136
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: who were wondering and who were asking and who were tweeting,

137
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: I understand the concern, especially for people out there who

138
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: drafted lev Bell last year and afraid to get burned again.

139
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: My my Answerty was, we're all sort of reading the

140
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: same reports and reading the same tea used and without

141
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: actually being in the room on either side, there's no

142
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 1: definitive answer. So and and I will say this because

143
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: of the the disrespect that these players believe uh is

144
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: being had on the running back position. Gordon and Zeke.

145
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean, there they seem like they're dug in. Yeah,

146
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: they really do seem like they're dug in. So yeah,

147
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: and I said, I still at this point, I think

148
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: Zeke will be there before Gordon will be there because

149
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,119
Speaker 1: I would agree. I think the Cowboys are more willing

150
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: to pay him because I think they feel like they

151
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: need him more. Uh. The Chargers seem very confident that

152
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: they can go into the season with Austin Ekeler and

153
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson and not have as big of a drop

154
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: off there, So I think that the Gordon thing may

155
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: go on for a while. I think at some point

156
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: Zeke will be there in uniform. Uh Antnio Brown. We

157
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: talked briefly about it last week with with Jake Seeley,

158
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: but at the time it was just that, you know,

159
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: his feet were sore and it was day to day.

160
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: He was sort of getting looked at. It didn't seem

161
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: like it was a big deal. Now the report is

162
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: he has frost by potentially on his feet, that he

163
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: went into a cryld therapy chamber and was not wearing

164
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: proper footwear. Now this comes like a week or two

165
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: after I don't know if you saw the video FABS

166
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: of him trying to catch a brick, like basically doing

167
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: work with a brick with his hands. Uh, and was

168
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: doing it in just a pair of white loafers. So

169
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: apparently he has just he's just decided to ignore proper

170
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: footwear for work this offseason. There is a there's a

171
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: fine line to me between look, nobody questions Antonio Brown's

172
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: work ethic. There's a fine line though, between wanting to

173
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 1: be like one of a kind and just be a

174
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 1: little bit different and just making kind of poor decisions.

175
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 1: And I think he's sort of crossed that line at

176
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: this point. Um. But I guess the bigger question is

177
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: how worried are we because he's not He's not practicing,

178
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: he's not working out, he's not on the field. I mean,

179
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: I know he's good, but at some point you want

180
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: him to kind of get work with a brand new

181
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: quarterback in a new offense. Yeah, I mean, you hate

182
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: to see him missing time and gaining and building that

183
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: rapport with Derek Carr because that's so important not only

184
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: for the Raiders but for fantasy owners who draft Antonio Brown.

185
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 1: They did show a little bit of footage on Hard

186
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: Knocks of him practicing and um, but they also opened

187
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: the show with him working with the trainer, um and

188
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: the trainer trying to make sure that he didn't go

189
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: too hard because of the foot issues. And I do

190
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: in the back of my mind, I am a little

191
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: bit concerned. He just got a gigantic contract, he got

192
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: out of Pittsburgh. He got what he wanted, he got paid,

193
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: and in the back of my mind, I'm a little concerned. Now, boy,

194
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: is he gonna start breaking down? He got paid? And

195
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: now this foot issue? Which those dogs are those are

196
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: some ugly, ugly dogs. And are we starting to see

197
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: maybe the decline of the fantasy value of Antonio Brown.

198
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: I hope not. I hope not, but this is certainly

199
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: something to watch out for. And if you're earned at all,

200
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 1: there's Juju Smith Schuster who you can draft ahead of

201
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. There are some other wide receivers who can

202
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: go right now. I believe I have him right around

203
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: six or seven at the position. I haven't seen him

204
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: drop in mocks at all. He's still the second round pick.

205
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: But something the monitor. And it's amazing three such big

206
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: fantasy names, at least one in major question to miss

207
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: regular season games, another one now uh in a little

208
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: more uh question with with the Zeke situation and Antonio

209
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: Brown with these uh with these problematic feet. Yeah, that's

210
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: just you know, look, man, he's he's a wide receiver.

211
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: His feet are important. Yeah, you know, obviously the hands

212
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: are important, but so are the feet, especially for a

213
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: guy who really wins with speed and quickness. Uh. I

214
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: know that the reports are that it's not serious, you know.

215
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: I I'm from California. I've never had frost bite. I

216
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: don't know how it works or how long it takes

217
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: to to recover from. Uh. But you know, we'll see

218
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: what happens with that. Andrew Luck believes he will be

219
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: ready for week one. And this is the thing I've

220
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: I've you know, I talked with Jake about this last week.

221
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: I've been on other podcasts and and I've I've been

222
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: asked about it and talked about it fabs. I. I know,

223
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: on one hand, he and the Colts are trying to

224
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: be cautious with this whatever you wanna call an ankle, calf,

225
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: lower leg, Andrew whatever it is that that that they're

226
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: describing it as. I know they want to be cautious,

227
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: but I feel like we're all sort of snake bit

228
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 1: by what happened with the shoulder a couple of years ago,

229
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: where we heard Andrew looks gonna be ready, he's coming back,

230
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: he's close, and then you know, a year and a half,

231
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: two years later, we're finally seeing Andrew look again. I mean,

232
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: I'm not crazy for like for feeling this way right now. Listen,

233
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: we're all afraid, we're we're all scaredy cats in the

234
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: fantasy football industry when these when these elite players are

235
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: coming down with with frost, biting their feet and contract

236
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: holdouts and uh, Andrew Luck in his case, he's got

237
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: the calf that's sort of been nagging him. And right

238
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: now in drafts, it's like, either you've got my homes

239
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: and then you've got Rogers, Luck in in Watson in

240
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,040
Speaker 1: some sort of order. So I moved Watson up. So

241
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: I've got Rogers, then Watson, and then Andrew Luck. So

242
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: I moved him down one spot. I'm not going to

243
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 1: move him down anymore until we get a little bit

244
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,119
Speaker 1: deeper into training camp and into the preseason and we're

245
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: hearing still that he's expected to be ready for a

246
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: week one. Um, well, we'll sort of go from there.

247
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: But it's sort of the same situation where it's like

248
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: every day we're looking to find out more information on

249
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: what's going on with these players, including Andrew Luck. I'm

250
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: not concerned about him just yet. And here's the good

251
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: thing about the quarterback position. You can still get Andrew Luck,

252
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: and you can ensure yourself down the line in your

253
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: draft and get Kyler Murray or get Lamar Jackson and

254
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna be just fine. So if in a worst

255
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: case scenario, Luck does miss regular season games, you're gonna

256
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: be pretty much set at that position because it's so deep. Yeah, anything,

257
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's sort of the fallback there is

258
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: that you can take a chance on Luck and and

259
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: it it doesn't pan out after a few weeks, uh,

260
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: you know, you can find a backup. Okay. It's not

261
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: like getting like in a eat running back and then

262
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: you're like and then it falls apart, right exactly. Yeah,

263
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean part of me is just sad by this

264
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: because i keep thinking he's going to be the QB

265
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: one and I'm still holding onto that. I still am

266
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 1: holding onto that until you know, until I see something

267
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: else that that that shakes my belief a little bit more.

268
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: La Sean McCoy is being told in Buffalo that he

269
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: is still the quote the guy in the backfield. I mean, okay,

270
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, they have loaded up on so

271
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: many guys back there, and they have I think they

272
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: still have the oldest backfield, you know, between him and Gore.

273
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's like, that's right. They think they had

274
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: to TJ. Yelled in they crafted Devin Singletary. There's so

275
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: many guys who can get the ball there, um, you know,

276
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: and then let's let's not ignore the fact that their

277
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: best running back last year was their rookie quarterback. Um. So,

278
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he is still the guy fans, but

279
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: I feel like that's not worth a whole lot right now. Yeah,

280
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: I've been in a couple of leagues where I needed

281
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: a running back and it was the eighth or ninth

282
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: round and he was sitting there, and I'd be udgingly

283
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: took him. But I do think Devin Singletary could end

284
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: up being a better pick down the line in your redraft.

285
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: We've been hearing reports that he is getting some work

286
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: with the first team offense. We've also been hearing reports

287
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: that t J. Yelden's roster spot could be in jeopardy.

288
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: He could be on the bubble. So the Bills may

289
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: or may not keep all four, but I can promise

290
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: you Gore is gonna be on that roster. Singletary is

291
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: gonna be on that roster. Looks like McCoy is gonna

292
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: be on that roster. So even if Yelden is the

293
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: odd man out, uh, I still say McCoy is gonna

294
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: be the favorite to lead this backfield and touches, but

295
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: you're not looking at Lashawn McCoy as the elite guy

296
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: who's gonna get you know, three plus touches is just

297
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. And so I'm glad he's being told

298
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: he's still the guy, But I just don't buy into it.

299
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: I really don't. I don't buy into that. I almost

300
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: feel like that is something that's being said to him

301
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: to keep him focused, I mean, you know, And whether

302
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: or not that ends up being the case, we'll see,

303
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: you mean, you know. And what's interesting is that if

304
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: if we get you know, week three or four, and

305
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: we're starting to see a whole lot of other guys

306
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: get the ball, and especially if the Bills struggle, you know,

307
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: how interesting will he be in wanting to be there,

308
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: wanting to participate. I don't know. I think that's that's

309
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: something just to kind of watch right now. He's he's

310
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: coming off the board early ninth round, which feels about right,

311
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: feel about and at that point you're really just drafting

312
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: the name because you can't be expecting him to put

313
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: up massive numbers. Hopefully he'll be useful as a flex

314
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: starter and that's that. That would be a best case

315
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: scenario for fantasy owners, because I don't expect anything more

316
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: than that based on what the Bills did in the

317
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: off season. I mean, I'm looking at the other running

318
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: back names around him right now, and it's you know,

319
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: it's Kareem Hunt, who we know is going to be

320
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: suspended for eight games, Roy's Freeman, Ronald Jones that we

321
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: have no real clue about, Jalen Samuel's Damien Harris about right,

322
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: that's kind of where he is now. Man, life comes

323
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: at you fast, yeah, man. Uh. This hit Twitter a

324
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. Michael Crabtree worked down A four

325
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. I think the original report was that

326
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: he was signing with you. That was the first report,

327
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: and then Rap sort of reported that that right in

328
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: the case, so he worked out for the Cardinals. They

329
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: don't expect a deal, so at the moment, Michael Crabtree

330
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: remains a free agent. But to me, this sort of

331
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: signals a bigger issue with the wide receivers, right. I mean,

332
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: we know Larry Fitzgerald is gonna be there, we know

333
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk's probably gonna be there. But now, all of

334
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: a sudden, for all these people who were taking dart

335
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: throws at Andy Asabella or Hockey Butler, even like you know,

336
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: I was taking end of end of draft throws at

337
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: Keishawn Johnson, This to me sort of says that they're

338
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: not really confident in all these other young wife strange, right,

339
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: and you hear reports that Keishaw Johnson has looks really

340
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: good and he's moved up a little bit. Uh, you

341
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: forgot to mention Kevin White, and assuming you did that purposely,

342
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: because I've forgotten that you forgot about Kevin White being

343
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: on the roster. So it was an odd report that,

344
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: and you know, the Texas Tech thing whatever. But I

345
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 1: was surprised to hear that he initially had signed, which

346
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: was false. And I was even surprised that they had

347
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: brought him in the first place, because they're so loaded

348
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: at wide receiver just with depth right after drafting three

349
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: guy I mean Keishawn, and and and Isabella and of

350
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: course Butler, who is a fantasy darling during the during

351
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: the Combine and leading up to the NFL Draft. So

352
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: I was a bit strange and from a fantasy standpoint,

353
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: that would have not been a good move for his

354
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: for Crabtreet fantasy. No, I don't think it would have been. Um,

355
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, it makes me wonder how

356
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: they feel about these young wide receivers and maybe extended

357
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: what this means for Kyler Murray. I mean, the fact

358
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: that he can run still gives him a lot of

359
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: fantasy value, but it just, you know, it sort of

360
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: makes me kind of look and say, well, if they

361
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: don't feel great about the receivers, um, that does have

362
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 1: a trickle down effect at some point to the quarterback too.

363
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: And that's that's something I think to keep an eye

364
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: out on. Jack McKinnon was activated from the pup list. Uh,

365
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: he actually has not been. It's been a full calendar

366
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: year I think now since he's been on the field

367
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: for the fort because he got hurt in training camp

368
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: last year, missed the entire season. Now he is back,

369
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 1: I would think facts he's sort of behind when it

370
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: comes to working out. We know that Tevin Coleman is

371
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 1: going to be probably the lead back. Matt Brita is

372
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: right now fighting to get some touches. So for now,

373
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Jeric McKinnon is the number three guy,

374
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: but I guess I could probably change before I've moved

375
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: McKinnon down. Um, I've moved Brita up ahead of him.

376
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, like you could maybe make

377
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: an argument that McKinnon UH is the fourth best option

378
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 1: in that back to remember where he most start looked

379
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: pretty good last season, Jeff Wilson performed pretty well last

380
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: season UH in in short work. But right now the

381
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: player whose value is increasing the most is clearly Tevin Coleman,

382
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: who has had his best fantasy season during his time

383
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: in Atlanta with Kyle Shanahan when those two were together.

384
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: And Brida has moved up as well, UH and Coleman

385
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: has been mostly durable. The two guys behind him, Brita

386
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: last season that was just a nightmare trying to predict

387
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,160
Speaker 1: if he was going to be active or and active

388
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: every single week. And of course McKinnon missed all that

389
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,479
Speaker 1: time because of the knee. So Coleman's value has moved up.

390
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: And we have seen running backs succeed in Kyle Shanahan's offense.

391
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: We've seen Coleman do it. We've seen Vant Freeman, uh,

392
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: I've seen Carlos hide. So there is some precedent there

393
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: for uh Keevin Coleman, based on Shanahan's success with that

394
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: running back position, to be a pretty valuable flex starter

395
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: in Yeah, you know I think about this is that

396
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: it's making me sort of feel a little bit better

397
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: about how I prioritize forty running backs because I think,

398
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, a month or two ago, I was I

399
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 1: was so confused. I think we were also confused. We're

400
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: just kind of throwing our hands up and trying to

401
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: figure out what it is. As we've gotten into the

402
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: training camp and we get towards the preseason, it looks

403
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: like things are starting to clear up a little bit,

404
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,640
Speaker 1: and I think that's sort of all we really want.

405
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: We just want a little bit of clarity because that

406
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: helps us. Yeah, because we have a lot of uh,

407
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: just ridiculously unclear situations right now, So it would be

408
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: nice to be able to get some already on this

409
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: and that hopefully is coming in several backfields. I mean,

410
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of backfields right now that

411
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: we have no idea what direction they're going in Philadelphia, Washington,

412
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco. Although we think we're getting some clarity now,

413
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of backfields that still need to be

414
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 1: sorted out before we get into week one. Yeah. Absolutely,

415
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: So it's hey, we speaking. We're gonna do some preseason

416
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: talking just a little bit. But in the meantime, that's

417
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: pretty much everything you need to know. As I mentioned, preseason,

418
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: Week one kicks off on Thursday. I guess last week

419
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: is technically like week zero or something like that. Yeah,

420
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 1: it's like the appetizer, right, which it's the preseason appetizer,

421
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: which yeah, I didn't know about. I knew about week zero.

422
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: Like when it comes to high school football, I think

423
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 1: high school football has week zero. In fact, I remember

424
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: one year when I used to call a lot of

425
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: high school football games on radio when I lived in

426
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: Fresno once upon a time, and uh, when we when

427
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: when year there was a week double zero And I'm like, okay,

428
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: this is just kind of when we're getting silly here, Okay,

429
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: so last week was I guess preseason Week zero Hall

430
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: of Fame game. This is week one, handful of games

431
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: on the slate. I just picked out a few of

432
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: them to talk about some things that that I think

433
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 1: are are interesting that we all want to keep an

434
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,399
Speaker 1: eye on. First one, the Jets at the Giants. A

435
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: little shameless self promotion. That game is on NFL Network

436
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: Thursday at seven pm the Eastern, which means for those

437
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: of you on the West Coast you'll probably be at

438
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: work and maybe you can sneak and catch a little

439
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: bit of the beginning there. But the big thing here,

440
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: LEVI on Bell. We finally get to see him back

441
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: on a football field. Now we may only see him

442
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: for like AH series or something like that. Um, but

443
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm just curious to watch him in this offense. One

444
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: just to see how he physically looks and that sort

445
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: of thing, but to see him in this offense, how

446
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: much he gets the ball where they're lining him up. Um.

447
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many questions about love Bell, and

448
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: I think, you know, this is a chance to at

449
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: least begin to figure out some of the answers for him. Yeah,

450
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 1: no doubt about that, UM. And love. Bell has has

451
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: a as a place in my heart. After the last

452
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks with his social media uh posts in

453
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,199
Speaker 1: terms of he had the Star Wars post Star Wars Okay,

454
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: that's cool, and then he had the post apologizing the

455
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: fantasy owners who drafted him last season and also told

456
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 1: people that I'm going to bring a championship in twenty nineteen.

457
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: I have him ranked fifth at the running back position.

458
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: Volume is king and fantasy football, he is going to

459
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 1: see a lot of volume and what could be an

460
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: improved Jets offense. I think Sam Donald quietly is gonna

461
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: end up being one of the better deep sleepers in

462
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: fantasy football. We started to show flashes last season. Now

463
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: he's got a lethal running back in Levan Bell who

464
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: can not only run it successfully but catch it as well,

465
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: a guy who's had seasons with Adio more receptions. So

466
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: I'm starting to get excited about him. I mean, he

467
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: lost a little bit of lesser because the Pittsburgh's office

468
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: was just so ridiculously good. But you know, the Jets offensively,

469
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: you know they could have a little something going on that,

470
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: right And I'm you, you know, obviously everybody knows his

471
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: ability to catch the football. But those guys around him too,

472
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,919
Speaker 1: I mean the Robert, the Robbie Anderson, you know, Quincy

473
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: and Noonwoo, Jamison Crowder there who has had apparently a

474
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: pretty good camp there when they get herned and back

475
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: from the suspension, They've they've got guys who can catch

476
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: the football. So this is an offense I think that's

477
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: worth keeping an eye on. I mean, you know, we're

478
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 1: not that far removed from everybody thinking, hey, never Jets

479
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: in fantasy drafts. Uh, it's a different group now. It is,

480
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: it is, and I think that offense is going to

481
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: be one that we're going to be watching in the

482
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: preseason very closely. Buffalo is is another one because they

483
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: could sneakily have some you know, Josh Allen, you know,

484
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: John Brown potentially could could make it. John Brown's the

485
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: guy I've been I've been trying to get him, but

486
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: he always seems to get sniped just before yeah, like

487
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: a later on. You know, John Brown's a guy who

488
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: could stretch defenses and and and be a weapon in

489
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,879
Speaker 1: the vertical past attack. And Josh Allen has that big arm. Yeah,

490
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: so you know, and also real quick on the Giants. Um,

491
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: I just want to see who's going to catch the football, right,

492
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean Golden Tate suspended for the first four games.

493
00:23:57,760 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: They got injuries all over the place. I just want

494
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: to know who's going to be there to catch the ball.

495
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: Everything I'm hearing, Evan Ingram is looking good. Yeah, he's

496
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: looking good in camp. Um Evan Ingram is if I

497
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: haven't mentioned, he is the first active player who's going

498
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: to be in the NFL Celebrity League. And he's already

499
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: talking trash, which has been a lot of fun. He

500
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: would get out of out of camp practice and do

501
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: a little video and talk trash to myself and um

502
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: miss and some of the other people in the league.

503
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a lot of fun. I'm interested

504
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: to see if Evan drives himself in the first round.

505
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we worked with Maurice Jones Drew and

506
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: who did that. He said he would always draft himself

507
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: in the first round, so regards, but Evan is moving up.

508
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: I mean like he's the top five tight end, no

509
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: doubt about that, and he's gonna get a lot of opportunities.

510
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: And you know who else is has reportedly look good

511
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: in camp is Eli Manning. I'm not gonna draft him.

512
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna. Sorry, Eddie, I love you, I'm not

513
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,719
Speaker 1: gonna draft him. But you know he's got Daniel Jones

514
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: hot on his heels. Maybe Eli, that's maybe that's the motivation. Well,

515
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: motivate daddy. You know I'm always always gonna be worried

516
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: about the youth. Uh. Look, I'm trying to give you

517
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: at least a little bit of, you know, a reason

518
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: for opting now. I know I am, I am very

519
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: I think Evan Eggers have a great year. Uh. The

520
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: thing I do worry about is if Eli shows his

521
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: age and they make a quarterback switch, then the numbers

522
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: could struggle there. But I don't I don't know how

523
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: excited I would be to draft pretty much any Giants

524
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 1: sick one and I'll assuming if you don't have the

525
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 1: first or second pick, yeah, the rest of the draf

526
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: If you don't have like a you know, top one

527
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: or through pick, you're not getting sick yeah, exactly. I

528
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: don't know how confident you know Sterling Shepherd. I mean,

529
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: you know Colman's out now, but Shepherd with the injury,

530
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: and then you have, like what else you have to receiver?

531
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: Golden Tammam miss a couple of games, and you know,

532
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: if Ingram, I think he could suffer. Like I said,

533
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: if if Eli shows his age and it's like who's

534
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: there too? Right now? Like if Shepherd's there one and

535
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: he's hurt, Like, who's there too? The other Shepherd? There's

536
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: two Russell Shepherd, Yeah, and then Cordy Benny Fowler. They

537
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: got Darius Slayton. I mean like it's it's it's slim pickins. Yeah,

538
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: it's it is thin, it is thin. Yeah. Um, next

539
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: game on the list, Jaguars at Ravens. I mean for me,

540
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: it's it's just the Lamar Jackson showcase. I mean, we

541
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: we've heard so much about his his work this offseason,

542
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: about his progression. Um, you know, we know that they're

543
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: going to be a run heavy offense. But I just

544
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: I just want to watch him and see what what

545
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: he brings to the table this year and and how

546
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: that impacts everybody else around the receivers, the tight ends,

547
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: you know, mark Ingram and the guys in the backfield.

548
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean it really is just about him,

549
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: I think in this game and right and we know

550
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: what he can do with his legs um and the

551
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: comparisons to Mike Vick have been have been out there

552
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: for for a year once exactly since he ended the league. Um, yeah,

553
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: I want to I want to watch his accuracy. I

554
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: want to watch how accurate this guy can be in

555
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: tight windows. I want to see if he's improved in

556
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,080
Speaker 1: that aspect of his game. We are talking up Mark

557
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: Andrew's big time and for good reason, because he's looked

558
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: great in camp. He could end up being one of,

559
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: if not the favorite target for Lamar Jackson when he

560
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: throws the football. But Jackson and we're going to talk

561
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: about him a lot in fantasy because running quarterbacks can

562
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: win you championships. And this guy is not getting drafted

563
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: in the first nine or ten rounds, and he could

564
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: end up being a top ten fantasy quarterback. And if

565
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: he can get it done with his arm, lookout. Yeah.

566
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because I think he's one of

567
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: those players where I think the disconnect from analysts versus

568
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, folks who are drafting, especially people you know. Look,

569
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: I understand that this is the time of year a

570
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: lot of people start kind of cluing back in and

571
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: start tuning back into fantasy football. That you know, people

572
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: who don't live this all year long. Um and I

573
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: think they look at what he did last year and

574
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, numbers wise, it didn't blow you away. And

575
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: I think the disconnect between that, uh and the folks

576
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: who have really been kind of watching this thing and

577
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: analyzing it, because if you look get fantasy analysts on

578
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: fantasy Twitter, there's a lot of excitement about Lamar Jackson. Um,

579
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think the two have messed yet

580
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: and it it could happen. And if if he comes

581
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: out and he plays well, especially against the Jaguars defense,

582
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: I think you'll start to see that excitement go up,

583
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, no doubt about it. Texans at Packers,

584
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur, we get to see the new offense, right.

585
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean look last year. I mean I think I

586
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: wrote about this last week when I was hyping Marquez

587
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 1: Valdes scantling. I think I said Mike McCarthy's offense was

588
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 1: blamed for everything short of climate change. Um. So now

589
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: McCarthy is gone, Matt la Fleur comes in and he's

590
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: got his brand new offense that is hopefully going to

591
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: save the world or at least UH boost Aaron Rodgers

592
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 1: fantasy production again this year. I mean, that's that's kind

593
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: of it. I want to see that. I want to

594
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: see who the the bona fide number two receiver is

595
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: after Davante Adams, Like you know where those ball where

596
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: those targets are going. Is it Valdes Scantling, Is it

597
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: Geronimo Allison? Um? You know, I just want to see

598
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: everything about this Packers offense because is you know, we

599
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 1: know when it's right, there's a lot of production to

600
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: be head and the backfield as well. You know, Aaron Jones,

601
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: a lot of us, including myself, expecting to have a

602
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: breakout season, but Jamal Williams performed admirably in his absence

603
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: last season. H Jones. I'm not saying he's injury prone.

604
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: He's had a couple of nicks here and there. That's

605
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: a bit of a concern to see if whether or

606
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: not he can actually be a featured back at the

607
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: NFL level. He has certainly shown that he's got the

608
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: explosiveness to be a very valuable fantasy player. Uh So

609
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: that that is, Ah, that is a player that certainly

610
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna be We're gonna be watching as well in

611
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: the situation that we're gonna be watching because you've sort

612
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: of seen and heard conflicting reports about whether or not

613
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: Lafleur wants to use both backs or potentially use Jones

614
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more as more of a featured option. Uh,

615
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: so we will see what happens. A lot of question

616
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: marks there in Green Bay. Uh. Two guys that aren't

617
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams. Yeah, I mean those guys,

618
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: we we know, we know who they are, we know

619
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: where they're going to get drafted. Everybody else is still

620
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: up for interpretation. Chargers at Cardinals another game on NFL

621
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: network that want to Thursday at ten pm Eastern or

622
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: probably right after Jets and Giants ends, in case that

623
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: one runs long. We know how that usually goes. Uh.

624
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: Look if if Jaguars at Ravens is all about Lamar Jackson,

625
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: Chargers at Cardinals, it's all about Kyler Murray. It's all

626
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: about you know. I missed a couple of casts. But

627
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: like I moved him up to eighth now I can't

628
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: stop moving them up. I'm having a problem. I I

629
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: need therapy. I moved him to eighth now, Um I

630
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: moved him ahead of Cam. I moved him ahead of

631
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I don't know what it is, dude, like

632
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: inject that Kyler Murray in my arms because I am

633
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: addicted and I am in a D ten league draft

634
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: with you. By the way, this is gonna be a

635
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: lot of fun, and I drafted Kyler in that league. UM.

636
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: Great stat here, since we have seen five rookie quarterbacks

637
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:53,840
Speaker 1: finishing the top ten and Fantasy points during that first season.

638
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:59,479
Speaker 1: All five either rushed for over five yards or at

639
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: least five I've touchdowns, and Kyler Murray could do both. Okay,

640
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: so he could do both. So I'm trying to figure

641
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: out who the five would be, right, Cam Newton's gotta

642
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: be one. Um, so these are guys who can run

643
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: since n rookie quarterbacks. Uh, let's see, well, Uh, Baker

644
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: Mayfield didn't get into the time five last No, no, no, no,

645
00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: he no. You gotta think rushing. Yeah, I think rushing?

646
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: Who think think? Um? I mean, if I give you

647
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: a hint, you're gonna get it. Um Baylor, Oh, Robert

648
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: r G three Okay, Okay, I'm trying think who else?

649
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: Who else is Russell Wilson? Okay? Okay? And then this

650
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: one is this one? You probably have forgotten on purpose

651
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: subconsciously because you don't want to mention his name, no

652
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: being a usc alum, Oh this is wait, so it's

653
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: gonna be like a USC or a U c L

654
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: A quarter No, no, young, that's right, Yeah, you're right.

655
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: But I mean, like it was so good when he

656
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: first love. But here's the thing, Like any one of

657
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: us think that Kyler Murray can't rush for five yards?

658
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh no, I think most projections have him rushing for

659
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: over five yards. Any one of us be surprised if

660
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: you rushed for This is a guy who rushed for

661
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards and twelve touchdowns last season. And

662
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: then I get it college is much different than the pros.

663
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: But that's his skill set. I think five hundred that

664
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: that seems like a solid number. I think that that

665
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: might be even the floor for Kyler Murray in terms

666
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: of I think it's an interesting little trend. It is

667
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: the it is the passing, you know, And we talked

668
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: about the Cardinals working out wide receivers. Um, that's where

669
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, I wanted to be. I wanted to be

670
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: so good. But he's got to have guys who can

671
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: catch the football. And another one to um. No rookie

672
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: quarterback in that time who has rushed for at least

673
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: four hundred eighty nine yards has finished worse than eleventh. Okay,

674
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 1: that was russ A Wilson. So I'm telling you listen,

675
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, Dave damashek says, hearing me now, believe me. Later,

676
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is going to be a stud. Okay, maybe

677
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be Patrick Mahomes. Maybe he's not gonna

678
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: be Aaron Rodgers or Deshaun Watson. He's gonna be damn good.

679
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a guy you're likely starting weekend and

680
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: week out during the course of that fantasy football season.

681
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: He is. He has got that kind of ability. So

682
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: so we get to see the first look on Thursday night.

683
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: Don't think about it. Obviously, Melvin Gordon is not going

684
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: to be playing for the Chargers, So whatever split there

685
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: is going to be between Austin Ekeler and Justin Jackson's

686
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: gonna be one to keep an eye on. Um. How

687
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: those guys get used. I think in that game something

688
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: interesting because because remember we got all excited about Eckler

689
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: last season when Gordon went down, Eckler was kind of

690
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: Justin Jackson looked pretty good. So but the good thing

691
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: about Eckler, so he is now a seventh round pick,

692
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: but he could have standalone value even when comes comes back.

693
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: So um yeah, yeah. And I think we saw that

694
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: a little bit last year two, that even with Gordon there,

695
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler was still worth having on your on your

696
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: fantasy Auster Bucks at Steelers another NFL Network game, Friday,

697
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: seven thirty Eastern. Um, I just I want to see

698
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: what Bruce arians is bringing to the table there in Tampa. Um,

699
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: you know, uh, we're still trying to figure out what

700
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston is exactly. I saw a tweet earlier this

701
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: morning suggesting that he might check down more, which that

702
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: doesn't excite me at all. Um, you know, but especially

703
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: with the running backs they have right now right on,

704
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:34,959
Speaker 1: watch Andre Ellington like be awesome for like the first

705
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 1: three or four weeks in PPR, which is gonna really

706
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: just mess everything watch that. I mean, you know, look,

707
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: everybody is, you know, figuring out if Ronald Jones can

708
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: actually produce something, whether Peyton Barber is gonna hold on

709
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: to his number one role. Um yeah, and Andre ellen

710
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: Ten can come in and just mess the whole thing up. Also,

711
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin, who is everybody's every every favorite, analysts favorite

712
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: new player. He is. He is my Kyler right wide receiver. Yeah,

713
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: I dig him so much so. The schedules favorable, uh

714
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: for for the Bucks pass catchers, the offense. I mean

715
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: they they they have the most available targets in the

716
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:13,760
Speaker 1: league compared to last season's roster. Everything screams Chris Godwin,

717
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: breakout season. Everything screams it. Hopefully he's not another Kurt

718
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: Darryl Patterson. I don't think he will know. I mean,

719
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: he has a different skill set. I wrote about him

720
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 1: last week when I was basically remember how much everyone

721
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: loved court Darrell, including myself, and then he sucked. Yeah,

722
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: he just you know. I wrote about him in the

723
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: Undervalued Guys that I wrote up last week, And I

724
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: will say that I remember Chris Godwin a couple of

725
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: years ago, his last year at Penn State, they played

726
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: that Rose Bowl game against USC and that was That's

727
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: the game everybody remembers, is the se Kwon Barkley, like

728
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, breakout game, um before his final year there

729
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:47,319
Speaker 1: at Penn State. That it was sa Kwon Barkley. It

730
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 1: was Sam Donald leading a comeback, throwing five touchdowns in

731
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: the game and leading the comeback win. But one of

732
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: the things I remember was that Chris Godwin was just

733
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 1: unreal in that game, and Trace McSorley was kind of

734
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: scattershot with some of his throws, and Godwin saved him

735
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: with some just ridiculous catches. He and Mike siki Uh

736
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: saved save trace McSorley with some ridiculous catches in that game.

737
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,440
Speaker 1: And at that time, you know, everybody talked about Sa Kwan. Understandably,

738
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 1: I walked out of their thinking. Man that wide receiver.

739
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: The guy is also really really good, So we'll get

740
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: a chance to take a look at him coming up

741
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: this week, Rams at Raiders. These two teams were actually

742
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: practicing against each other this week, which is is going

743
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: to be kind of fun and interesting. Um, But you

744
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: have a good question here, Will did Durell Henderson hype

745
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: reach a new Marcus Eddie. I'm telling you right now,

746
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: if he busts a round, he has a run. If

747
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: he catches one out of the backfield and takes it

748
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: to the house, if he starts showing a little, you know, littlelusiveness,

749
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,720
Speaker 1: that that home run ability he showed uh in college

750
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: averaging almost nine yards of carry. Fantasy Twitter is going

751
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:52,759
Speaker 1: to it's pants is going to explode, okay, and the

752
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: it is gonna run rough shot Okay. It will be

753
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 1: ridiculous if he has one big play, if he has

754
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,359
Speaker 1: a couple of places where he shows that, you know,

755
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: because I mean, let's let's let's be honest here. If

756
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: Henderson ended up stay with Tampa Bay coming out of

757
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: the draft, he's the number one rookie in fantasy football.

758
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: He is, He's ahead of Josh Jacobs. He is, um,

759
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: he just is. As as you were talking, I mean,

760
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about runs that made Fantasy Twitter lose its mind.

761
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: And the first thing I did when I pulled up

762
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: at Mirbdulah. And I'm not saying I'm not saying that

763
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: Darrell Henderson is going to be a Mirrorbdulah, but it

764
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 1: just reminded me of of times where you're watching your

765
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: preseason game and a guy does something and everybody just

766
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: goes insane. Fact I remember, uh, you were doing your

767
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 1: Celebrity League draft that night, and Uh, I was hanging

768
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: out in there with with our old friend Alex Gelhar

769
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: and I think Michelle Beatle was actually on the clock

770
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,839
Speaker 1: and we were trying to convince her, Hey, you gotta

771
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: get this up, Mirbdulah guy, and she's like, I don't know,

772
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 1: and and Alex pulled up his phone and pulled out

773
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: that run and she's like okay, okay, and then drafting

774
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: him right there on the spot. Yeah. But but I

775
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 1: mean because and that's part of like the fund of

776
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 1: this time of the year being a fantasy analyst or

777
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: a fantasy enthusiast is that, you know, you get to

778
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: you get to really like watch some of these young

779
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: guys got out there and show what they have. And

780
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: Henderson has been so hyped already. He's a sixth or

781
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: seventh round pick. He is a backup running back, a

782
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: backup running back, sixth or he's never played a regular

783
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: season game in the National Football League. And he's a

784
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: sixth or seventh round as a backup running back. It's insane.

785
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I just look, this is this is I

786
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 1: think part of it is everybody sort of I don't

787
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: know if it's it's Henderson optimism or girly pessimism, probably

788
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: a combination of the two that has sort of driven

789
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 1: this price. And it's just look because we because we

790
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: are not going to know anything about Todd Gurley until

791
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: week one. Uh. That has that has put Henderson's price

792
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: at a premium. It's yeah, it is ridiculous. Last one

793
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,800
Speaker 1: on our list here Cowboys at the forty Niners, NFL Network, Saturday,

794
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: nine pm Eastern. I promised that we didn't pick all

795
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: NFL network games. We have something that aren't you know,

796
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,399
Speaker 1: it's gonna be straight. I think actually, I think in

797
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: really I think at some point all of these games

798
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 1: will probably network, but the they won't necessarily all be

799
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: live on NFL Network. But Cowboys Niners, that's live on

800
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: NFL Network Saturday, uh, nine pm Eastern. And we talked

801
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: about it kind of at the top of the show.

802
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 1: I mean, what is the rotation Who's getting the ball?

803
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: Who's gonna get the ball? With Ezekiel Elliott not there? Um,

804
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,400
Speaker 1: that's just what we're gonna keep an eye on it.

805
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: It's who is it that that takes the lead, you know,

806
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: in the event that that Zeke isn't gonna be there

807
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: in week I mean, you know, so so Pollard's there.

808
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: You know, they drafted Pollard, drafted Webber. You've got Darius

809
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: Jackson there, and then let's not forget the the the

810
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: recently signed Alfred Morris so that that edition, I'm like, man,

811
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean, right now, most people are are pointing towards

812
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard being the guy who would take over if

813
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,240
Speaker 1: Zeke does miss regular season games. That's just a pressing

814
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: the hell out of me. But anyways, um, this is

815
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 1: something that you really need to watch throughout the preseason.

816
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: As long as Zeke is holding out, who is getting

817
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: ball in that Dallas backfield? Because no matter who it is,

818
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: if the Cowboys decide to go with one back as

819
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: the featured option behind that offensive line, I get it,

820
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: the player is not going to be good as Ezekiel Elliott.

821
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: But if you look back to the DeMarco Murray days

822
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: and even like Darren McFadden, the Cowboys have always had

823
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 1: a really good running back from a fantasy perspective, And

824
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what you're gonna get if it's Pollered,

825
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: if it's if it's Jackson. I'm not sure that's what

826
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: we need to find out, because God forbid, Zeke is

827
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: out week one week to somebody in that backfield is

828
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of fantasy value. I'm just I'm

829
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: sort of laughing because I can just imagine, like all

830
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: the people who drafted Zeke and if he's not there

831
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,720
Speaker 1: like in week two, do all that level bell panic

832
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: is going to start to get back. So so in

833
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: the Scott Fish Bowl, I think I was second overall

834
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: Zeke and then in the second round, so it can

835
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: either be great or it could just completely implode on you.

836
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:03,239
Speaker 1: And in the third round Antonio freaking And when I

837
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: had those three guys, was my top like son of

838
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: this great boom. But now I'm like a holdout in

839
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: frost bite away from having the worst team in that

840
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: entire league. Could you imagine that, like a year from

841
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: now saying, man, everything would have been great for my

842
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: fantasy team except Antonio Brown had frost bite. Like, Okay,

843
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: this is I'm just thinking about this just kind of

844
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: off the top, like, yeah, we're all baseball fans here, right,

845
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: And I feel like baseball has had sort of the

846
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: history of maybe some of the craziest injuries. You know.

847
00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 1: I go back to John Smaltz apparently burning himself because

848
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: he ironed his uniform while wearing it. Jeff Jeff kn't

849
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: got hurt washing his truck allegedly, Um what was it?

850
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: There was a player I think for the Orioles that

851
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: got trapped in a tanning bed or something like that,

852
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: and like that, that's like from Final Destinations. Somebody died

853
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: like that, trapped in a tanning bed. But if Antonio

854
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 1: Brown misses time because of frost, like that to me

855
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 1: is right up there with with all these other things.

856
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: It's funny too because like you do that, there is

857
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: a cryout therapy to help your body like that we

858
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: saw in a bit of Hard Knocks, like how hard

859
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: he was trying to practice, Like the guy cares about it.

860
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: One thing about you can say what you wanted about

861
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, like the guys committed, and that guy's gonna

862
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: work like out work anyone. And he's trying to like

863
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: preserve his body and make him make sure that he

864
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: is fresh or ready to go, and that it like

865
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: is it what's going to end up? But potentially hurting

866
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: his season is to me is like the ultimate ironic

867
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: thing to happen. But one of the one of the

868
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: football injuries that I remember most because I was watching

869
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:39,479
Speaker 1: the game was remember Bill Grammatica, Yeah, kicker nailed the kick,

870
00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: jumped up in the air, celebrated and blew out. Yeah.

871
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: That was that was like early in the season too.

872
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: It wasn't even like a big game. It was like

873
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:52,239
Speaker 1: that was not not good. What scares you more with

874
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: that team that trio is like the return the guys

875
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: returning from an injury, like a Girly or a Brown

876
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 1: Or is it just like the Zeke the hold out?

877
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 1: Because in my head, I think almost I'd be more

878
00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:05,839
Speaker 1: excited for Zeke's I think that he's a better chance

879
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: of coming back and being a bigger pact than the

880
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: other two I have. I have less concern over over

881
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: Zeke because I still do in my heart feel like

882
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 1: even if he misses, you know, regular season games, it's

883
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: not gonna be a lot the other guys you don't know,

884
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: right exactly mean, I mean, you know you got questions

885
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: about a b still, you know, aside from the feet,

886
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 1: getting the rapport going with Derek Carr, the downgrade from

887
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh's offense to Oakland's offense. But who knows, maybe Oakland's

888
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: offense is going to be tremendous and Derek Carr will

889
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: be a great sleeper. Uh, Derek's a good dude. I

890
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 1: hope he is Um and Girly, I mean honestly, like

891
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: and I I have been the guy who like, at

892
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: the end of the second round, if he's there, I'm

893
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: taking him because I want to hit the home runt.

894
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: And you know what if I strike out, I strike out,

895
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 1: and I'll have to make up for it, and they'll

896
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: be guys on the waiver wire that I can potentially

897
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:51,399
Speaker 1: pick up to help me out a little bit down

898
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: the course of the season. But I just I can't.

899
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: I can't pass on him at that point. I just can't.

900
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: Maybe Henderson being there's going to be a good thing

901
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: because you're going to be able to get a guy

902
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: in there who's going to spell him who he's not

903
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: gonna have to touch the ball times Um, and every

904
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: time he gets that team into the red zone, he's

905
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 1: going to get the football. Girly's So I still have

906
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm cautiously optimistic about Girly, especially for the price

907
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: that I'm paying right now, which is a late second

908
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:26,760
Speaker 1: round pick. Yeah, which I've made. I pulled the trigger

909
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 1: on him late second round a number of times, and

910
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 1: I feel okay about it. Here we go. Marty Cordova

911
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: Burns himself while Tanning Mark. I knew there was an

912
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: Orioles player, and I couldn't think of the name. So

913
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: there you go, Gt. L Man, except when you you

914
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: know Tann too much. Apparently Hard Knocks came back into

915
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 1: our lives last night, episode one of Hard Knocks with

916
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 1: the Raiders, which I look, this one promises to be

917
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: a great Season's just there's just too many characters involved

918
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: for this not to be a great season. So I

919
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: put a list together of just some of the things

920
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,399
Speaker 1: that that I thought was interesting. Antonio Brown's arrival, which

921
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: we sort of knew about, but to watch him like

922
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 1: load up the hot air balloon and just like fly

923
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: over the nap. Have you ever been on a hot

924
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: air balloon? I have not. Part of me is I don't.

925
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: I don't love heights necessarily, and it's sort of it's

926
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: not so much being high up because like I can fly,

927
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: I can fly on an airplane. It's not a big deal.

928
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: It's being high up and moving slowly like that that

929
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: sort of freaks me out. I don't like heights either.

930
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,280
Speaker 1: And we did this a couple of years ago, and

931
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: I may or may not have taken an out of

932
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: Van okay, because like I mean, like, dude, this is

933
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 1: it's this much like basket or padding or whatever that's

934
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: between you and certain death. Right, Okay, that that's it.

935
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: And that's where it freaked me out the most. And

936
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't love heights either. Uh it was cool when

937
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: I got up there. When I got down, I wanted

938
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: to go to sleep because I was so tired from

939
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: from being nervous. Well that in the out of it.

940
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: But it was a cool experience. But I don't think

941
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,239
Speaker 1: I I could have done it without you know, a

942
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 1: little yeah, I just you know, I mean, good for

943
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: him because one of the things that I'm sure I

944
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: could be convinced to do, but I wouldn't just immediately.

945
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 1: It would never be something that I would suggest doing

946
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 1: on my own. Uh. That and him maybe at camp

947
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 1: and his kids asking where's Roethlisberger? Um, that was funny.

948
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: You know, why don't you play for the black team anymore?

949
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: And where's Roethlisberger? And him trying to explain that he

950
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 1: plays for the Raiders now his quarterbacks, this little black team.

951
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: And and you know Derek car although they called him

952
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: Derek Carter, the kid calls him Derek Carter. Was his quarterback.

953
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: I thought that was fun. Um. I didn't have this

954
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: on the list, but I just I just thought about this.

955
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,879
Speaker 1: The conversation that James Jones had with a B where

956
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 1: they talked about Matt Shob versus Derek Carr, and that

957
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: car comes in and is playing well in practice, and

958
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: that he comes and he plays well in the preseason game.

959
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: And just at one point, James, you know who who

960
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: is colleague of ours a really good guy kind of

961
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 1: gives a B just the side eye that says, you know,

962
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: we just knew. We knew that Derek Carr was going

963
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,799
Speaker 1: to push match Job out of a job. It was fun.

964
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: Match Job. Match Job was a top ten fantasy quarterback

965
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: at the at the height of his career, and then

966
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: towards the end, he was the guy that you would

967
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: stream defenses against because he was like guaranteed to throw

968
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:24,280
Speaker 1: up pick six. Yeah yeah, I mean, he gotta became

969
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: It became a meme almost, you know, he was a

970
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,959
Speaker 1: pick six machine, dude. Like I feel like I feel

971
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 1: like the first past he threw in Raiders camp when

972
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: he got to the Raiders was he pick six and

973
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,720
Speaker 1: Twitter and Twitter went wild with it, like when it happened. Um,

974
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:40,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Abram, the rookie safety who apparently you know, I

975
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: never met a guy he couldn't hit. Dude, He's he's

976
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: gonna He's a character, man, he's a character. Dude. Yeah,

977
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,760
Speaker 1: he's very much a character. I loved him basically telling

978
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: Derek Carr, uh he was going to order everything on

979
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: the menu. Yeah, and then telling Cruden you can't cut me,

980
00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: can't cut me. I was like, I'm a first round pick, man,

981
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: I mean like he's not wrong, but that's like, man,

982
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's like you know, coming in and telling

983

Speaker 1: you know, goodell, hey man, I just signed a big

985
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: you can't Really, that's great fruits right there, dude. Man,

986
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: I thought like, man, that's I looked at us like

987
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 1: he's he's not wrong, but man, yeah, that's that's inside voice, Jonathan,

988
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: the inside voice, right in your head voice. Man, you know,

989
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: I mean him just like putting out on Front Street

990
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: how much Derek Carr makes and like by this and that,

991
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, man like all right, like you're just gonna

992
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the guy that tells it like it

993
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 1: is and it's like as I feel like, as long

994
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 1: as he's playing well, people will accept it. He will

995
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, he won't make a lot of friends if

996
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 1: he's not. Yeah, and by the way, go on social media.

997
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 1: There's a video of of Abraham being interviewed by I

998
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: think he's Andrew Ciciliano and Steve Smith. And Steve Smith.

999
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: You know, this guy is a bit of a character

1000
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: as well. Um, we work around him. He's a great guy.

1001
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: But he he will tell you how he's. Steve does

1002
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: not pull punches. He does not pull punches. And then

1003
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: he's been known to throw a makes which makes for

1004
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 1: great conversations. Uh. And he does. He has one with

1005
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: Abram that is worthwhile. Uh. And he's sort of, you know,

1006
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: trying to try to let the rookie know how things

1007
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 1: are you now that he's in the NFL. Cleveland Ferrell

1008
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,680
Speaker 1: on a horse when they went out horseback riding, which

1009
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:18,399
Speaker 1: you know leads to a lot of old town road

1010
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,880
Speaker 1: singing and after music singing. But watching this, you know,

1011
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: enormous guy try to get on a horse. Uh. And

1012
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: like I say this as somebody who I think in

1013
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: my life I have ridden a horse and maybe once.

1014
00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,080
Speaker 1: Uh so I'm not, you know, gonna sit here pretend

1015
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: that I'm some sort of cowboy or anything like that.

1016
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:35,879
Speaker 1: But it was fun to watch this gigantic man trying

1017
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: to find his way on a horse and figure things

1018
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: out without without falling apart. Wouldn't you be like so

1019
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: as a coach or like a GM or like so

1020
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: afraid of your players doing that. That's the first thing

1021
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: I thought of. It is like I sound like a

1022
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: like a whim kind of saying like, oh, there's probably

1023
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: just a you know, a smaller horse. I won't really

1024
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,399
Speaker 1: do anything. It just kind of walks at a slow pace,

1025
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 1: but you never know what wild animal could do because

1026
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: take over. Yeah I thought that too. Actually that like,

1027
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure that you know, Mike Mayok watching this and

1028
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: probably not all that reputation is like on the line

1029
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: with this dude, basically because no one saw that coming.

1030
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, he gets bucked off a horse and you know,

1031
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: thank god that didn't happen. It's funny. Um. There's a

1032
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: guy that played in the NFL for a while. Fact,

1033
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: I think he played for the Giants, Bear Pasco. I

1034
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,480
Speaker 1: actually watched him playing high school and he played at

1035
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: Fresno State when I lived in the area, and he

1036
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: you know, in high school and in college. Uh, he

1037
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: was a rodeo guy. Like he was like he was

1038
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 1: like a bull rider sort of thing. And that was

1039
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 1: one of the things that when he got to the NFL,

1040
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: the you know, the league, the g ms, the coaches like, yeah,

1041
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: you gotta cut that out, Like like, whenever you're done playing,

1042
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: you can go back to it, that's fine, But as

1043
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: long as you're under NFL contract, you can't. You can't

1044
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,399
Speaker 1: go bull riding or anything like that. So I think

1045
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: he actually has gone back to to doing rodeo again

1046
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: since out of the league. Uh. And then the last one,

1047
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: John Gruden, who his opening statement on the show basically

1048
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: was like everybody has dreams. Everybody dreams of playing in

1049
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: the NFL, dreams of winning a Super Bowl. He's like,

1050
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: I'm all about nightmare. You know about nightmare about you

1051
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: taking somebody else's dream away from them. Uh. I mean

1052
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: I get the feeling that for all the stories we

1053
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: hear about John Gruden being a little bit psychotic, like,

1054
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna actually see it for real now. Yeah, I hope,

1055
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: Like I I thought that we were going to see

1056
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: that this crazy older Gruden, but he's more from like

1057
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: this twenty nine, which is smart, like because you have

1058
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: to be more of a player's coach and you have

1059
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 1: to be less I guess crazy as he was, but

1060
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: I would like that opening feature is great, but he

1061
00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: seems to be he just seems to like get it

1062
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 1: now more like he's more like he relates to players

1063
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: more and wants to make sure everyone's like comfortable. He

1064
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 1: was like, no rookie hazing, all that kind of stuff.

1065
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: So I guess not that I'm saying he's wrong, I

1066
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: was just shocked that it wasn't like the Gruden that

1067
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 1: we remember from like, you know, a decade plus ago. Yeah, yeah,

1068
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, times have people change with the time, right,

1069
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: So I was gonna say we didn't see We saw

1070
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: very little of Mike Mayock. In fact, I don't think

1071
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: he actually spoke any worthy shots of him. But he

1072
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: didn't actually say anything in this episode. So I would

1073
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: think hopefully next week we kind of get more in

1074
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: the front office side and here from Mayock a little

1075
