We are literally counting 3 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: down the days until the start of the NFL season 4 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: at the Action Network. The number today is thirty seven. 5 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: Thirty seven days until the NFL season starts, until gambling 6 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: comes back in full force for the majority of the country, 7 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: until more people than ever get to take advantage of 8 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,760 Speaker 1: legalized sports betting during the NFL season. That's why I 9 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: have Simon Hooder, who's a professional better joining me. He 10 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: is my co host, he is my bff, he is 11 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: my companion. We got a massive, massive slate of subjects today, 12 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: Simon and Samantha Prividi, who was one of our c 13 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: your analysts covering all things fantasy, all things NFL. She's 14 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 1: got a lot of notes that she wanted to talk 15 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: about today. Well, he's going to read them back to 16 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: her and she what she has to say before we 17 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: get to that. Simon, how are you good? Chad? I'm 18 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 1: so glad she's here. Be even Actually now I'm thinking 19 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,680 Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't because she's probably in side with you. Chat. 20 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: We we had to talk about something. You have a problem. 21 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: I have a problem. Yeah, you and you realize that 22 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: I have no idea what's coming right now. We talked 23 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: for I think I've talked to you four times in 24 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Somehow TikTok has come up in 25 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: the conversation all four times. Yeah, this is a big 26 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: worrior for me. Okay is someone that saw the death 27 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: of Facebook by older people. I see it coming. I 28 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 1: see you talking about TikTok. I saw someone's grandmam talking 29 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: about TikTok, and I'm just thinking myself, is this the end? 30 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 1: Is this? Because I just only got on there, and 31 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: I do feel creepy because I'll be watching a cookie 32 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: vie in the next video will be something like fifteen 33 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: year old girl Dan seeing and I'd be like, oh God, 34 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: and I have to keeps growing. So it is a 35 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: weird place as someone that's in their thirties to be. 36 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: But it's appealing. It's just videos of music and like words. 37 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: It's it's an easy website. But you're obsessed. I'm like, 38 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: we're in a meeting all hands and you said you 39 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: were looking at TikTok the whole time, and I believed you. 40 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,799 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, I believe chat is probably watching 41 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: TikTok right now. So I just have to know, Chad, 42 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: how deep into TikTok are you? Oh? I'm deep brother? 43 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: I Uh? You know Samantha PAVIDI I she one of 44 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: the reasons we we learned who she was and discovered 45 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: her was because she was so good at doing fantasy 46 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: on TikTok and and I'd love to bring her in 47 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: to have this conversation as soon as I answer. Um, 48 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: I would say I started doing it mainly because I 49 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: kept hearing about it as sort of a media professional. 50 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: And then I got nervous that the Chinese were stealing 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: my information because that's what everyone kept saying, like it's 52 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: a Chinese app and like they're using the data, and 53 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: I'm like what, And so then I just sort of 54 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: like I wasn't using it for a while, and then 55 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: I got back into it and I freaking love it. Um. 56 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: I think it's funny. I think it's informative. I think 57 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: that what some media outlets are doing there uh is amazing, 58 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: and the way people are using it to communicate your 59 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 1: stories advanced information translate things is really really smart. I'm 60 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: thinking a lot about what I want action networks. TikTok 61 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: strategy to be and I think I've narrowed down what 62 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: what we could really do well with on TikTok. And 63 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 1: it's also it's entirely different than the other social mediums. 64 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of other places might think, oh, 65 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: I can just repurpose this and put it on TikTok, 66 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: or repurpose of that and put it on TikTok, and 67 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: you can't. You really got to think about creatively, how 68 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: is it different than all the other social platforms. I 69 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: don't think it's like Facebook, simon, and that Facebook became 70 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: toxic and silly and annoying, and I think it's harder 71 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: for TikTok to do that because it's a little bit 72 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: like Instagram in that it's a better combination of what's personal, 73 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: how to entertain, how to inform, without layering in like 74 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 1: layers and layers and layers of what your personal feelings 75 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: are that you can write down in many, many paragraphs 76 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: that become cringe worthy. Um, yes, so right right there, 77 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 1: Chat everything you just said, it's not true. People are 78 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: just mean. It's the Internet, so no, no, no, But 79 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: here's the no, Simon, here's the difference. Of course, people 80 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: can write comments and of course they're going to be mean. 81 00:04:55,200 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: But it's not the creator of the content, like giving 82 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: me a diet tribe about Trump or about Obama, or 83 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: about Biden, or about vaccinations or about their liberties. Um, 84 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: it's someone. If someone has an opinion on it, they're 85 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: doing it in a way that is cheeky and superficial 86 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: and is easy to swipe right through. Um. So I 87 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: find it to be a great medium. Also, I find 88 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: it to be an incredibly fun just total empty, vapid 89 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: time sock. Uh, beyond all these sort of high minded 90 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: strategic opportunities. Samantha way in here, please, Yeah, I totally 91 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,119 Speaker 1: agree with you that one. It is an absolute time sock. 92 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: I think my screen time notification every week. I just like, 93 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: I don't even want to look at it because I 94 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: know it's like eight hours a day on TikTok or 95 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: something like that. But it is easy to consume a 96 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: ton of content all at once. I think what you 97 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: said in terms of like the way the platform is 98 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: built so differently from Facebook, where Facebook you see a 99 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: lot of the same posts from like the same people, 100 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: whereas like on TikTok and Instagram, you're seeing a lot 101 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: of different content all at once, and then the algorithm 102 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: really does learn your your preferences and stuff, and it 103 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,039 Speaker 1: doesn't over personalize, I think, which I think is a 104 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 1: really nice balance for them to strike. Uh So, No, 105 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: I don't think it has become like choogy quote unquote, 106 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: but I do think, um, it has changed a little bit. 107 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: Like it was peak pandemic when everyone was at home 108 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: doing these like high production TikTok's because no one had 109 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: anything better to do, like see me. That's why I 110 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: literally made my TikTok account was because I was bored. 111 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: So I think it's shifted a little bit. But now 112 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: it's everyone's out in the world and traveling and showing 113 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: really cool things. So I think like the content has 114 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: shifted a little, but I don't think it has, you know, 115 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: past its prime or anything like that. You don't think 116 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: Chad's gonna kill it, because I do. I like, I 117 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: like Facebook this never forget my buddy's mom added me, Um, 118 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: I want to say it was, and I just remember 119 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: thinking of my stuff. Oh my god, this is how 120 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna end, because it's just weird when it's like 121 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: you're blacked out with your friends and then your buddy's 122 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: mom likes your picture. It's just a it starts becoming 123 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: very strange, So you don't have the fear that Chad's 124 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: gonna kill another app. Let me ask him, Simon, do 125 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: you feel like a company that is trading at three 126 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty one a share, that has a market 127 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: cap of nine hundred and ninety billion dollars and is 128 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: used by literally someone in every corner of the globe 129 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: is dead. I don't think so. I just think the 130 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: demographics of that particular product have changed, and there are 131 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: still plenty of people who use it for variety of 132 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: utilitarian reasons. And you happen to be someone who doesn't 133 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: want to use it for personal reasons because you don't 134 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: want to share stuff on there. You think it's going away. 135 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: It's not what it used to be, but it's evolved 136 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: into something that's entirely useful for other people who are 137 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: maybe older, but still represent a huge swath of uh 138 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: the world's population. I don't use Facebook. I think it's crap. 139 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: I haven't been on there in years, and I never 140 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: want to use it to begin with. And I'm not 141 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: even like a user of TikTok. I'm barely using Twitter 142 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: these days, but I do think TikTok is a fascinating 143 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: way to share information and it's not going anywhere. Even 144 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: I can't kill TikTok. I just love hearing dudes in TikTok. 145 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, I saw that on TikTok. I'm just like, 146 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: oh my god, what is happening. I think there's a 147 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: lot of old people on TikTok. I think you'd be 148 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: surprised at Like that's my whole point. It's creepy. That's 149 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to get across that. But like I'm 150 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: not getting I'm not getting fifteen year old, fifteen year 151 00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: old in my feed. I'm getting comedy, I'm getting news, 152 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: I'm getting sports. Uh, like I get like the dancing, 153 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: like on the rare occasion. Uh, that's one of my 154 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: favorite parts. That's how I hear new music. So like, 155 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to I have to come across this 156 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: fifth yearrol there's nothing I can do about it. Thinking myself, 157 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: I feel weird in my thirties. I can't imagine, like 158 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 1: an old dude, you hit one of these fifth year 159 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: just like, oh god, this is so weird. It's just 160 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: a weird act. Uh, it's well, it's it's it's weird 161 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 1: until you get used to it, and and then and 162 00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 1: then you realize you finished doing something at and you're 163 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: recording the podcast at one thirty, and you're like, I 164 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: got two minutes. Let me see if there's anything fun 165 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: on TikTok, which, by the way, is exactly what happened. 166 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: You're ready to do it. Let's roll, brother. Uh, we 167 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 1: do have a lot of nf all to talk about. 168 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: We will end.

And 170 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,559 Speaker 1: before we get to the Hall of Fame game, Uh, 171 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: we gotta start right now. We gotta start with Carson Wentz. 172 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: Simon and Samantha will come to you after this. But 173 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: anyone who's been listening to this pot oh wait, I'm sorry. 174 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 1: Before we do that, I do want to make a 175 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: comment because um uh a tweeter named John Doe j 176 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,439 Speaker 1: o h n uh d o h sent me a 177 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: comment that I thought was really smart and we should 178 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: do this, and Matt mitchell I sort of I've made 179 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: a note about this in our slack chain this morning. 180 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: But we should do this because it's really smart. Uh. 181 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: We we've been bouncing around like we've done season win totals, 182 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: overs for the over unders for the a f C, 183 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: for the NFC, and we the way you broke it 184 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,480 Speaker 1: down was kind of disorganized. We actually haven't done any 185 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,199 Speaker 1: kind of since the season ended. To now full round up, 186 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 1: full recapture of how we think teams have improved. UM, 187 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,199 Speaker 1: A team by team breakdown from last season, and now 188 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: John Doe says we should do that. I kind of agree, 189 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: and I think we should do that division by division. 190 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: So we will start doing that, I believe on Thursday. 191 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: Is that right, Matt Mitchell, that's the plan? All right, 192 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: John Doe, good suggestion. You are not being ignored. Uh, 193 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: we will start doing team by teams since the end 194 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: of the season to now breakdowns. UM on Thursday. We're 195 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: getting deep into the NFL. Uh. Carson Wentz, Simon, you 196 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: and I have been talking about the Colts season win 197 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: total of over ten ten and a half since Carson 198 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: Wentz signed. Boy, oh boy, that's the money we're gonna 199 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: start burning. Huh. Yeah, already let it on fire, chat, Uh, 200 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: it's dead. That's basically one of those where there's few 201 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in this league that needed a preseason more with 202 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: their team and just to get right and get their 203 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: head right than Carson Wentz. So like on my list, 204 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: it's him and Joe Burrow, Like Joe bros Coming off 205 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: a big knee injury after his first year. I feel 206 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: like preseason is huge for Joe. Joe hasn't missed anything. 207 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,080 Speaker 1: He's been back since it started. With Carson ends, he 208 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 1: had two really good practices. I mean, I think most people, 209 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: if you're found along, Carson had an incredible cross body 210 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: throw that it just looked like old Carson Wentz deep downfield, 211 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: and then we see what happens. The guy is I 212 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 1: don't want to say he's unlucky, but he's definitely injury prone. 213 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: I mean, at this point, this many seasons in, he 214 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: keeps getting little injuries here and there, um and then 215 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: Quinn Nelson, like an All Pro guard, he has the 216 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: exact same injury. He's on the same thing. You just 217 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: had the same surgery five uns all weeks. So the 218 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: culture right now, they're taking on so much water. Chad. 219 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: I mean literally like I'm burning these tickets and I'm 220 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: I've already bought out for a decent Penny, and I'm 221 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: gonna put into the action that after the show I'm 222 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 1: in on Tennessee now minus one twenty for the division 223 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 1: on our friends at Vandel It's just one of these 224 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: simply that I just thought the Colts and then the 225 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: Colts had a bigger advantage where they were more complete team, 226 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: they had a better defense, and with Carson Wentz, who 227 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: I believe in, and we all know Chad does not 228 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: like Carson Wentz, he does not believing him. So Chad, 229 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: Chad was right on this one where I jaked a 230 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 1: kool aid and I had high hopes. But they're giving 231 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: a timetable five to twelve weeks, which five weeks is 232 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: week one. That's great, but we know what this is. 233 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Tomathy can talk about it feels like this 234 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: is gonna be an eight to nine weeks at the earliest. 235 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: And then who really knows what his fancy value or 236 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: even a season value is of course, and once so 237 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: everyone on that team, Jonathan Taylor, all these guys are 238 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: just taking hits in the famous the world. So I'm 239 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: gonna interest here with Samantha has to say about all that. Yeah, 240 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: that timetable is pretty wide. It goes from week one 241 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 1: to week seven, so that's a really wide range of 242 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: outcomes in terms of a return for him. Rounder Jacob 243 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 1: Eason was getting first team reps in WinCE's absence. Uh, 244 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 1: it doesn't look like they're necessarily going to sign anyone 245 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: at this point. They did sign former Packers back up 246 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: Brett Hunley, so like, adjust your rankings accordingly and just kidding, 247 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: but you know, it's likely that Easton is an even 248 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: further downgrade for this offense. Uh. So I'm not high 249 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: on any the pass catchers. That's Michael Pittman, t Mike Hilton, 250 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 1: Paris Campbell. They were all consensus ranked below top fifty 251 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: receivers in Fantasy to begin with, so they were bench 252 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: capital at best. So they're going to carry even less 253 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: value um and only really worthy of consideration the deepest leagues. 254 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: I think that with like the passing game though being 255 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: held together with Spit and Glue, I think they may 256 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: be forced to lean more on the run game. That 257 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: could sort of help Jonathan Taylor, though he's already a 258 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: projected first round pick, so I don't think I'm moving 259 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: him around too much. Um, it could help guys like 260 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: nine him Hines, who's a pass catching running back. If 261 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna go on the more conservative passing side and 262 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: do a lot of like short dumb off passes, I 263 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: could see him getting a lot of targets. He had 264 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: sixty three catches last year, which is third most in 265 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 1: the NFL among running backs. Were you, Samantha a buyer 266 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: and believer in Carson Wentz in your projections before the injury? 267 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: I was not. No. I I think what we saw 268 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: last season when he was getting benched is more of 269 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: what I think we were gonna see in Indianapolis, And 270 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 1: I wasn't super high on him. And that win total 271 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: now is nine and the under is minus on. So 272 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: Vegas definitely doesn't have a lot of faith in a 273 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 1: speedy return for wins or anything like that. There is 274 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: gonna be value. They're gonna get slaughtered these first couple 275 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: of weeks, like they have a brutal schedule. In the 276 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: fact that their quarterback is Easton is just I mean, 277 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: that's that's what I'm saying, Like these it's brutal, Like 278 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about their quarterbacks with injuries, but it's 279 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 1: just one of those where it's this is the worst 280 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: thing that could have happened for the cold. So for me, 281 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna be in on the Colts where you know, 282 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: come October, I'm probably gonna be taking some of the 283 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: a little bit for them to win the division. Different 284 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: things like that, because I still think this is the 285 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: most complete team in this division. But man, that when 286 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 1: the when the injury bugs in a team like this 287 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: early in the preseason, it's just kind of sets up 288 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: for the whole season. So it's just give me a 289 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 1: lot of pause right now in the Colts, Simon, I 290 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: am so out looking forward to Week five when the 291 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: Colts have played better for about two weeks, but they've 292 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: still lost after getting blown out in the first two weeks, 293 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: and you're looking at your numbers and you're saying to me, Chad, 294 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: the b B B of the week is going to 295 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 1: be the Indianapolis Colts plus seven against somebody, And I'm 296 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: gonna be like what, And then I'm gonna have to 297 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: go on Colin Show and I'm gonna have to convince 298 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: him at the Cults are the right side, and he's 299 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 1: gonna be like what, And then we're gonna have to 300 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: come back on the favorite after talking about the picks 301 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: that I made Colin pick, and we're gonna have to 302 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: convince ourselves still that the Colts are the right side. 303 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 1: I know it's it's it's literally the worst Chad, but 304 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: this is how we win, baby. Uh. You mentioned other quarterbacks, 305 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, Dak Prescott's got a little bit of a 306 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 1: shoulder thing. I don't think that worries me very much, um, 307 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: because I'm not a buyer in the Boys either way. 308 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: The Stafford thing is really interesting to me. Injured thumb. 309 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: I don't know how serious it's going to be. I 310 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: don't know the extent of the injury. Samantha. Maybe you're 311 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: keeping track of that, um, But this, Simon, speaks to 312 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: the heart of your disagreement with me about the value 313 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: on the Rams or the Niners in what I think 314 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: we can both agree might be the best division in football. 315 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 1: Give me the Niners, Samantha. What's the latest on Matthew 316 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,879 Speaker 1: Stafford's thumb. Yeah, so he hit his surgically repaired thumb 317 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: that was his left thumb and as helma yesterday in 318 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: a freak accident. Initially, Sean McVeigh was saying that they 319 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: don't know anything. They think he'll be okay. The latest 320 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: is that he has a swollen thumb. X rays were negative. 321 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: He will likely miss a few days, but nothing major. 322 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: And this is a guy that you know really before 323 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: that major injury, and he hadn't missed any games. And 324 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: I don't think this is necessarily like a huge deal. 325 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: So it's like a one out of ten on the 326 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:05,640 Speaker 1: Warriomere No. I mean, I don't wish ill on anybody, 327 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: but I would like the Niners to have a better 328 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: year than the Rams. Yeah, that was definitely scary as 329 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: someone that is like I haven't put a lot of 330 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 1: money into the Rams, but I am the I am 331 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: a believer they're the best team in that division. So 332 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: it was like, of course, like this is what's happening 333 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: right now. I'm turning into pure mush. I mean, we 334 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: didn't even talked about it. I forgot to bring it 335 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: up last week. Chead. I don't know if you know this. 336 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,719 Speaker 1: I hit up Matt Mitchell when the Sun's are up 337 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: to nothing, and I had made a bet that I 338 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 1: talked about the show way back on June eighth. I 339 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,479 Speaker 1: talked about taking Chris Paul, but when m VP at 340 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: forty two one. I live man, Mitchell, I go, hey, man, 341 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: get this video ready for when the Sun's win. Right now, 342 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,679 Speaker 1: you can find a really good value on FanDuel on 343 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,120 Speaker 1: the m v P of the finals. So Chris Paul one. 344 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: So I feel like that's pretty good value. If they're 345 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 1: gonna win it all, it's gonna because of Chris Paul. 346 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: He just seems like he's facilitating that old team. And 347 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: of course the Bucks going to the next four games. 348 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: So I am slowly turning into mush chat. So, yeah, 349 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: a team I've been talking about a little bit. It's 350 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: againce again, it's not good. We got a guy Stafford 351 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: that's on a new team. They're hoping it's just a 352 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 1: couple of weeks, you know, the swelling will go down, 353 00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,880 Speaker 1: then they'll be able to really figure out from there. 354 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: But like Samantha just said, it's a surgicy repaired hand. 355 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: He literally just banged the hand on a guy's helmet, 356 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 1: which is one of the worst things you can do, 357 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 1: so scary. But it sounds like, yeah, we dodge a 358 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: bullet there. He might he might only be out for 359 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: a week or two. Are there any injuries right now? 360 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: We're talking about Dak Prescott, Amari Cooper, Say Kwan Barkley, 361 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 1: Davonte Smith, Jalen Waddle. Any injuries, Samantha that you're looking 362 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: at from a fantasy point of view that are making 363 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: you think about how you're rating players or looking at 364 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 1: potential sleeper opportunities in the backups to these guys. Yeah, 365 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper's is I think a moderate concern at this point. 366 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: He's consensus ranked his wide receiver four, so you're using 367 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: a lot of draft capital to get him. He's likely 368 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 1: or wide receiver one. That's two spots below Ceedee Lamb. Now, 369 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 1: now those guys were like dead even, and I think 370 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: Cooper had the edge earlier in the off season, and 371 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: now it's kind of dropping because he has yet to 372 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: be activated from the publist while still rehabbing from a 373 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: minor ankle surgery. Mike McCarthy says he likes the like 374 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: progress being made, but it's hard to kind of trust 375 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: coach talk at this point. Um This could obviously open 376 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: the door for Lamb to truly break out and establish 377 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: himself as the wide receiver one. If Cooper ends up 378 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: missing time, or even if he doesn't miss time, he 379 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: has a little bit less explosion something like that. I 380 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: think that this really skyrockets Lamb's UH value at this point. 381 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: And then Michael Gallup is another guy who is one 382 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: of my favorite later round sleepers this year, and he 383 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: could definitely have more value. He caught eight hundred forty 384 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: three yards last year. Is the Cowboys wide receiver three. 385 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: So if we're going to see some kind of decline 386 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: from Coop for um, I think Gallup could see a 387 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,360 Speaker 1: bigger role. Do we do? Gallup is one of those 388 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: guys who's fascinated because he's got such good hands and 389 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: seeming to make every catch. Is he a guy who 390 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: becomes less effective if he gets more time? No, I 391 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 1: don't think so. I think we've seen him be effective 392 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: when he had a larger role in this offense. So 393 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: I think when you're drafting him at like wide receiver fifty, 394 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 1: he's going to pay off at his ADP. So that's 395 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: all you're kind of looking for in drafts, right to 396 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: like make sure they pay off where they're relatively drafted. 397 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: I don't think Gallup is a better receiver than Cooper 398 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: or anything like that, but I'm not reaching for Cooper someone. 399 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 1: Do you have any thoughts or concerns and injuries before 400 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: I move on to our next rapid fire topic. Yeah, 401 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: if we're just looking in fantasy wise, I've been staying 402 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: away from se quon Um just everything I look at, 403 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: Like a lot of stuff goes into fantasy obviously, and 404 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: they're going to talk about that. But for me, for 405 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: running backs, I need a guy that's going to catch 406 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: the ball. That's really how you max out our running 407 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: backs value. Like you can go back and look at 408 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,200 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry I one of the best running back seasons ever. 409 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: I think he was the third highest rated running back. 410 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: Like it's it's one of those where if you don't 411 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: catch the ball, you're not really adding value. And we've 412 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: seen the Giants they've had at Kenny golladagg So they 413 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: have another pass catch who's gonna get the ball and 414 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: Sean back yet like they're talking about him in my 415 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: miss week one or two. So he's one of these 416 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: guys where I'm not taking him in the first round 417 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: or the end of like the very beginning of the 418 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: secon round. He's kind of a guy I've been letting dropped. 419 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: So I saw they just signed another running back the Giants. 420 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: It's just making me more worried about stake Kuan, So 421 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: he's a guy I've definitely not been drafting. I am 422 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: shocked to hear you talk about fantasy I don't. I 423 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: try not to get in that line because I know 424 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: that's like people's like that's their career and like they 425 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: need to do it. But no one else gave out 426 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson ranked one, or Justin Herbert and their top 427 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: twenty quarterbacks last year. It's just what I do chat. 428 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 1: So people want my fantasy stuff, I'm gonna send some 429 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 1: stuff out, but yeah, I definitely that's not my lane 430 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: because it's more like I just have the date of 431 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: the numbers. So like, hell if I knew Justin Jefferson 432 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 1: was gonna be a top twenty receiver last year, but 433 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: my data said he was gonna be insanely good, so 434 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: that's the reason I gave that out. So yeah, I 435 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 1: definitely have rankings, but I would not call myself a 436 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 1: professional fantasy play. I mean Justin Jefferson ship. Like I 437 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 1: looked at FanDuel the other day too, because I want 438 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: to make a bet on who would have the most 439 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 1: receiving yards for the season to leave the league, and 440 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: he was the second shortest odds behind Calvin Ridley and 441 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley. By the way, I think a couple months 442 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: ago was twelve to one and now he's down to 443 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: six to one. Matt Freeman gave that out, I believe 444 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: on our show Who's that? I forget? Not familiar with that, kidding, kidding, 445 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: Matt Freeman went to fade the noise. Matt Freeman the 446 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: first person that ever called some at the BAVIDI on 447 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: behalf of the Action Network, So we owe him that much. 448 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: There we go. What a guy. Yeah, I am similarly 449 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: concerned about Barkley. Uh. He tore his e c L 450 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: in week two of last year, which to me seems 451 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: like the appropriate timeline for a return the next year. 452 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,160 Speaker 1: And it is very concerning that they're already saying early on, 453 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: like this was early July that they were saying like 454 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,439 Speaker 1: they're not sure about a week one return. So he 455 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: is a guy that's definitely been dropping in drafts a lot, 456 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: and plus that offensive line is still not up to 457 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 1: par and that could certainly hurt his value, also exposed 458 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: him to more injuries and just in general, like, I 459 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: don't think the Giants are necessarily going to be a 460 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: team that's super super competitive, so they might not, you know, 461 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: want to give him three hundred carries this year. So 462 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: it's um, it's definitely a risky play. You're you're saying 463 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: Danny Dimes can't bring the Giants back to domination. That 464 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 1: doesn't sound at all like something that is in reality, 465 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: because that is going to be an amazing team, because 466 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 1: that is a team that Simon and I needed to 467 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: cover in the last game of the year against the Cowboys, 468 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: and despite fumbling after securing the game, clinching first down, 469 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: then recovering the fumble, they did what they had to do. 470 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: Huge expectations for the Giants. I'm kidding, it's a joke, 471 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 1: just sarcasm.

All Right, 501 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: one of the biggest debates that Colin Cowherd and I 502 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 1: had this past week on his podcast. He is a 503 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: big believer in the under on the Broncos season win total. 504 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: I am agnostic. My argument was, I am not going 505 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: to feel passionate about that one. I think there are 506 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,119 Speaker 1: so many that we can feel good about. And the 507 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: Broncos the quarterback battle Luck versus Bridgewater. I kind of 508 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 1: feel like Bridgewater is gonna win, and if he does, 509 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: it gives him a better chance to be over their 510 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: season win total. How are you handicapping the quarterback battle 511 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: in Denver? Simon your first I mean, of course, you know, 512 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: we're hoping it's Teddy Covers That one's that job chat. 513 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we love Teddy covers Um. It's our breaking 514 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,640 Speaker 1: the Broncos. I had them great out as the top 515 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 1: four defense right now, and they can move into my 516 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: top three. I'd like I have to get more data 517 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,639 Speaker 1: on them and see how they do this year. But 518 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: this is just a team on paper that every position 519 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: they are stacked. I mean they're wide receiving corpiers. Just 520 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: it's incredible how good they're, what offensive weapons are. And 521 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: just from watching the film last year with Locke, he's 522 00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: just one of these guys that he was terrible most games, 523 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: then in the fourth quarter he'd wake up and throw 524 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: for maybe two or three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. 525 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 1: But it's one of those where they're not really gonna Um, 526 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: I can't see them letting that go where I I 527 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: thought Teddy was gonna be the quarterback. He was gonna 528 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: win this job pretty easily. But the more I read 529 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: from these Denver guys, it's like the beat writers, it 530 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,640 Speaker 1: just seems like they're really going to give it to Lock, 531 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,640 Speaker 1: like Lock really has to lose this job. So it's 532 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: one of those where I'm I was gonna make I 533 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: was gonna bet a decent amount of Bridgewater be the 534 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: Week one starter. Now I'm not touching it because I 535 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 1: do think it's going to be unlocked because it just 536 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: seems like he's a guy they've invested in. They brought 537 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: Teddy and just to kind of give him competition to 538 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: see if they can make him a better player. Samantha, 539 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: what are you seeing as someone who is living in 540 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 1: the area. Yeah, it seems like the Beat writers are 541 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: going back and forth in terms of one has a 542 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: good day and then the next one has a good day, 543 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: and then another one has a good day, and it 544 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: really just feels like it's going to be a battle. 545 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: Vegas obviously thinks so too, because they're tied at plus 546 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: one twenty um to take the first TV snap at 547 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: this point. I mean, they're just totally different players and 548 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 1: have totally different skill sets. Bridgewater has that game manager aspect, 549 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,520 Speaker 1: while Locke is much more of that gun slinger. I 550 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: think Bridgewater will keep them more competitive and gives them 551 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 1: a better shot at, you know, hitting the over on 552 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: the wind total, which is eight point five um. I 553 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: think in terms of fantasy Bridgewater will probably be better 554 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: for certain aspects. I think Courtland Sunton has a better 555 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: rapport with Drew lock But for guys like Jerry Judy 556 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: and No a Fan and probably the running backs, I 557 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: think Bridgewater is going to be the better bet. Sorry 558 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 1: to answer you chat, I'm on the under as well. 559 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: I'm just uh, I don't know. It's one of these 560 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,239 Speaker 1: where It's this mainly because of the division they're in 561 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: where I just have such high hopes for the Chargers, 562 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: and I just think the Chiefs are gonna achieve, so 563 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: to me, them in Oakland and be fighting it out 564 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: for that three four spot. So I'm definitely on the 565 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: under for this team at eight and a half. Yeah, 566 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: this to me, it makes no sense that Bridgewater wouldn't 567 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:04,000 Speaker 1: be the automatic starter here. Drew lock Uh is a 568 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: loose cannon um of an arm and a thinker who 569 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: had tremendous amount of turnovers last year, who was one 570 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: of the least accurate quarterbacks in the NFL, who um 571 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: cost his team opportunities to win as often as he 572 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: would get them back into a game with heroics. They 573 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: were a common team for us, Simon Tibet because we 574 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: knew the number was always wrong and it was based 575 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: on public perception, and yet they still found ways to 576 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: consistently break our heart. Um. And in Bridgewater, you get 577 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: a guy who's good enough to take advantage of the 578 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 1: talent to take a advantage of Courtland Sutton coming back 579 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,880 Speaker 1: to take advantage of Jerry Judy, who can probably be 580 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 1: superstar in this league. And then and right no a fan, 581 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: and then like in Vic Fangio, you've got a coach. 582 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: I am surprised he wouldn't want to have a quarterback 583 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 1: who wasn't gonna lose him games. Given how defensive oriented 584 00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 1: he is, given the fact they'll have Von Miller back, 585 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: given the fact they've improved their defensive backfield, it makes 586 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,440 Speaker 1: no sense to me that Drew Lock would even be 587 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: in this conversation. So I would bet Bridgewater a plus 588 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: one twenty and if I thought he was, if I 589 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 1: thought he was going to start, I'd be a little 590 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: more comfortable bet in the over. But it's a stay 591 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 1: away from me. What do you think that? Breakdown? Folks? 592 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,880 Speaker 1: We love the Chad you're the best? Thank you? Uh Simon, 593 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: you think the I love that you knew exactly what 594 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 1: I was looking for and you said it in a 595 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: way that's almost like, Honestly, that's how my kids and 596 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,400 Speaker 1: my wife say it to me when I am looking 597 00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: for some kind of It's just like, yeah, I just 598 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: say he's the best and let's move on. Uh So, 599 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,640 Speaker 1: Jameis Winston Taysom Hill, Simon, you think this might be 600 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: the best preseason quarterback bet on the board, Explain yourself. Yeah, 601 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: this one in the myth fair situation. So for here, 602 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,600 Speaker 1: I think it's one of these where people just love 603 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: Jamis Um. I love him too. He was just so 604 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: much fun to watch that year he went thirty thirty 605 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 1: like we'll never see that again, thirty year receptions, thirty touchdowns. 606 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: It's just a magical, magical thing that he did. Especially 607 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: the fact that he ended that year on a pick 608 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: six was just, I mean, truly chef's kiss um. Yeah, Honestly, 609 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:31,959 Speaker 1: the Winston the more I've watched videos of him and 610 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: even his interviews, he just seems so much more mature 611 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 1: than his time in Tampa, the way he talks and everything. 612 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: I got him swinging a little bit. But for me, 613 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: the value is still so insane. Words it's plus I 614 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,800 Speaker 1: think we gave it a plus two forty um the 615 00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: fact that Taysom Hill could be the Week one starter. 616 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 1: So for me, it's one of those where I just 617 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,040 Speaker 1: see Seanpagne and running to a two systems, a two 618 00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: QB kind of all offense where he doesn't really know either, 619 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 1: like he's gonna he's waiting for one of them to 620 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,400 Speaker 1: win the job. And to me, I could see Winston 621 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: making the mistakes in preseason or even practice where that 622 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,760 Speaker 1: he wouldn't be the weak one starter, that Taysom Hill 623 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: could just be the first series he could be the starter. 624 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: So there's just a lot of things that point to it, 625 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: because even I mean the coaches talk in the red zone, 626 00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,800 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill is probably gonna be the quarterback for most 627 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: red zone possessions. That's how he likes to run that offense. 628 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: And it's all pointed to that. Just the fact that 629 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: it's like, should we just talked about Denver without plus 630 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: one each quarterback to be the week one starter. This 631 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 1: feels like it should be the same thing. This feels 632 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,479 Speaker 1: like a true toss up between Winston Hill. They're both 633 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: getting paid money. I think Hill is actually making more money. 634 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,280 Speaker 1: So it's just one of those where it's really interesting 635 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: where the public perception is everyone loves Winston, so everyone's 636 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 1: betting Winston, where no one really knows. Even Shampagne doesn't know. 637 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 1: He says an open competition right now. So for me, 638 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 1: I still love that value of plus two. It's twenty. 639 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: How are you seeing in Samantha, Yeah, it's a really 640 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 1: frustrating situation. I think Undraftkings right now, Winston to take 641 00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: the Saints first snap is um my this one forty 642 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: and then no is plus one ten. Uh So you're right. 643 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people do think that Winston 644 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: should be the guy. It's it's frustrating because I think 645 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: Sean Payton is a literal mastermind with an offense, but 646 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: it's frustrating to see him also shoehorn Taysom Hill into 647 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:22,759 Speaker 1: situations that I don't think necessarily our best in the 648 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 1: best interest for the Saints. Um. I mean Hill was 649 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: the starter with Drew Brees out last season. I think 650 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,360 Speaker 1: he went three and one in those four starts. Um. 651 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,320 Speaker 1: But I think that Jamis Winston, especially for fantasy football, 652 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: gives that team a lot more dynamic, a lot more 653 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 1: dynamic aspects. He's going to be a gun slinger. He's 654 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: thrown for five thousand yards in the past, and that's 655 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 1: really going to bolster guys like Michael Thomas and especially 656 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:54,399 Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, who kind of took a huge hit when 657 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: Taysom Hill was in there. It's a tricky one. So 658 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,120 Speaker 1: much is dependent on that team and how they perform 659 00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,640 Speaker 1: in that division. It's such a strange division. After the 660 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 1: box like are you buying the Falcons? Are you buying 661 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,960 Speaker 1: the Panthers. I'm gonna tell you we might become an 662 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons podcast. Just I'm trying are not to be 663 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: that guy. We're gonna get to the the divisional things. But 664 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 1: the more I look at it, the more I'm starting 665 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: to love Atlanta. Chad, it's bad. Oh my god, Well 666 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: looks well. Here's the thing. We talked about the Colts 667 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: and the Titans earlier in the show in the a 668 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:33,279 Speaker 1: f C South, and we were both veried down on 669 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: the Titans for a variety of reasons. But I do 670 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,720 Speaker 1: think we believed one of those reasons was because Arthur 671 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: Smith was leaving and he had done a lot of 672 00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: good things with Ryan Tannehill. And if you believe that 673 00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,280 Speaker 1: the Titans are going to be worse because he is leaving, 674 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: then part of you has to believe the Falcons will 675 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,080 Speaker 1: be better because of his arrival. And I understand that 676 00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,920 Speaker 1: there's a difference from being offensive coordinator working closely with 677 00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 1: your quarterback and having Derrick Henry to being the head 678 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,840 Speaker 1: coach and sort of a team that that that seems 679 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:12,279 Speaker 1: to have no hurt. But he's still is a guy 680 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 1: who's going to be able to help Matt Ryan and 681 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,400 Speaker 1: help influence what could be one of the best offenses 682 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: in the NFL. No, really, it's really there. This same 683 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: exact team Tennessee was last year was gonna have one 684 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: of the worst defenses in all football with one of 685 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: the best offenses. So it's gonna be truly interesting to see. 686 00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,920 Speaker 1: We've seen Matt Ryan his career year was with Kyle Shanahan. 687 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: We'll see if he can work the magic once again. 688 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,279 Speaker 1: And uh, if offensive genius can turn Matt Ryan into 689 00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: an m v P again. Samantha, how are you grading 690 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan right now? I will say he's another one. 691 00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 1: I looked at the odds on fan duel to see 692 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,200 Speaker 1: where he was to throw for the most yards, because 693 00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,320 Speaker 1: I already like Calvin Ridley for most receiving yards, and 694 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan was about twelve to one or fourteen to one. Yeah, 695 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: he's consensus ranked just QB fourteen right now. That's in 696 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,960 Speaker 1: a tier with Stafford Borrow, Trevor Lawrence, Kirk, Cousins, Jalen 697 00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,160 Speaker 1: Hurts like that kind of vicinity. I think he has 698 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,839 Speaker 1: a lot more upside than some of those guys, so 699 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,799 Speaker 1: I'm higher and more bullish on him than I think 700 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,200 Speaker 1: other people are. I think a lot of people are 701 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,239 Speaker 1: seeing this subtraction of Julio Jones and kind of what 702 00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: you said in terms of like that team just like 703 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: lacking direction and heart. Um. But I think that they're 704 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 1: going to be a really good offense because their defense 705 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:37,440 Speaker 1: is bad too. It's going to keep the offense quite busy. 706 00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: And I'm super excited about Kyle Pitts um from a 707 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: fantasy perspective and an actual NFL perspective. So, yeah, they 708 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: lost Julio Jones, but they also got a generational talent 709 00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts. We assume, right, we assume. We don't know. 710 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,319 Speaker 1: We don't know yet, we don't know what he's We 711 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: can only hope, I hope, we can only hope. We 712 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,439 Speaker 1: can only predict. That's what we do. But the lack 713 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 1: of a heart thing, I think is really a big deal, 714 00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: And it has spanned several different coaches, and I say 715 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: this as a very specific criticism. The constant has been 716 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,840 Speaker 1: Matt Ryant. I'm not saying the guy isn't courageous in 717 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 1: the pocket. I'm not saying he's not competitive. I'm not 718 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: saying that he's not incredibly talented, but I do think 719 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: here's a guy who's not probably not gonna go on 720 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, yet have end up being a 721 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,680 Speaker 1: guy with the most yards ever to not be in 722 00:38:30,719 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. And throughout his career, consistently this 723 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,600 Speaker 1: has been a team that overperforms and then all of 724 00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,840 Speaker 1: a sudden underperforms. And we saw that in micro cosmic 725 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: view in the Super Bowl, and it has continued to 726 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 1: be true since they lost that Super Bowl. I don't 727 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 1: know how this team ever gets back to the quality 728 00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,200 Speaker 1: of the team that it once was um with him 729 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 1: at quarterback. Yeah, and it's it's definitely one of those 730 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,279 Speaker 1: where I is driving the train that they should move 731 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 1: on from him and draft a quarterback and number four, because, 732 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: like you just said, Matt Ryan, he he just seemed 733 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,800 Speaker 1: like a guy that put together a couple of great seasons, 734 00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: but he was never a great quarterback. Like it was 735 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,399 Speaker 1: never really that you feared Matt Ryan coming to play 736 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 1: your team, Mattie Ice. So it's definitely interested me that 737 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,239 Speaker 1: they have an owner who's just so loyal to this 738 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: guy that he's just gonna keep it keep it going. 739 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: Where to me, they're in the perfect spot to start 740 00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 1: to rebuild. So for this is it. I mean, maybe 741 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 1: I'll give him another year after this, but it seems 742 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,439 Speaker 1: like this is one or two years left of Matt 743 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: Ryan like down there in Atlanta, So he really does 744 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: need to show up this year. Al Right, last topic, 745 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,239 Speaker 1: I want to get to the Hall of Fame game. 746 00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: But before we do that, Uh, Samantha, backfield obviously vitally 747 00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,799 Speaker 1: important in the fantasy space. Give me the backfield you 748 00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 1: are avoiding in fantasy right now? Yeah, the top one 749 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 1: that I'm avoiding is the Lions. That's spearheaded by DeAndre 750 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: Swift and then Jamal Williams and Jamar Jefferson. Uh. Spitch 751 00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,399 Speaker 1: finished is RB twenty and half PPR last season, which 752 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,879 Speaker 1: is good, not great for a rookie season. Um, but 753 00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 1: that whole offense, I just think there's a really strong 754 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: chance that it is not great. It's an anemic offense 755 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 1: and he's got a lot of competition. Jamal Williams finished 756 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: as RB thirty eight backing up Aaron Jones in Green Bay, 757 00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,400 Speaker 1: so that's gonna be a number of touches kind of 758 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 1: taken away from him. And then they also drafted a 759 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,479 Speaker 1: guy in the seventh round, so I think they're also 760 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: going to be trailing frequently. It's a backfield that I'm 761 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 1: not excited about. DeAndre Swift is one of my biggest 762 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,520 Speaker 1: bust candidates, which is sad as a Georgia fan. Uh 763 00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 1: do you know why? Do you know why the offense 764 00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 1: is anemic? They have no receivers and their quarterback is 765 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: Jared Goff. I mean you could take it literally, but 766 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,239 Speaker 1: I would say it's because they're too heavy on a 767 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: diet of eating kneecaps, and everyone knows kneecaps are low 768 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 1: and iron. Sorry, I did not realize that was a 769 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 1: setup for a joke. No one did. No one did 770 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,479 Speaker 1: a chat. But I got it there, I got it there. 771 00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,880 Speaker 1: Do you want to put out there? I have the lines. 772 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,200 Speaker 1: They are one of the top bottom three worst teams 773 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: in football. They actually have a top five offensive line. 774 00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 1: So sneaky, sneaky team that has a crazy good offensive line. 775 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:18,880 Speaker 1: I don't know which out of those running backs is 776 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,399 Speaker 1: gonna be good, but one running back is definitely gonna 777 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 1: pop there that that's a team that's gonna be able 778 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:25,080 Speaker 1: to run the ball because they just have I mean, 779 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:27,279 Speaker 1: they seriously have the biggest old line in football, Like, 780 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: that's what they wanted to do. They just want to 781 00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:30,839 Speaker 1: have a huge old line and that's what they have. 782 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: So it's definitely interesting to hear her talk about that 783 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: because I've looking in drafts tune. I have no idea 784 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: who to take. They just have three all pretty much 785 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,839 Speaker 1: the same running backs that do different things though, So 786 00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 1: it's interesting she that she said that she's avoiding it 787 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,720 Speaker 1: because I am too. Well, look, we can all agree 788 00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,759 Speaker 1: that other than the Alliance and Simon, you and I 789 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: have talked about this a lot. You could give me 790 00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:52,839 Speaker 1: any number on the Houston Texans, and I'm taking their 791 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 1: under win total. It's four, right, it's four at four 792 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,359 Speaker 1: and a half, thank god. But yeah, honestly, if they 793 00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: were a three and a half, I'd probably take it. Uh. 794 00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: How do you feel about their backfield? Oh god, I'm 795 00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 1: This whole team is a stay away for me. Uh. 796 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,440 Speaker 1: It's got David Johnson, Philip Flinty Mark Ingram, and Rex 797 00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:16,600 Speaker 1: Burke Head and there's not one guy in that group 798 00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:18,799 Speaker 1: even if they were on another team that I would 799 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,719 Speaker 1: be super excited about drafting. And the fact that they're 800 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,439 Speaker 1: all together on one team on a team that's kind 801 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,439 Speaker 1: of rife with dysfunction. We have really no idea what 802 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,360 Speaker 1: is going to happen with Shaun Watson. He did not 803 00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:36,400 Speaker 1: report to the first day of padded practice today. Um, 804 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 1: so he apparently has some kind of foot injury as well, 805 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:44,399 Speaker 1: and then also obviously the looming uh legal troubles. So yeah, 806 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: that's that's just to kind of stay away from me altogether. 807 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is the only guy that's like a sort 808 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,440 Speaker 1: of intriguing thing, but like, who's going to be throwing 809 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: to him, like Davis Mills. I don't know, that's not 810 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,520 Speaker 1: exciting to me. Yeah, people please stop drafting Watson. He 811 00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: is not He's not playing like they literally had him 812 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 1: out there playing special like defense. It's like a guy 813 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,239 Speaker 1: that was just staying out there. So it's one of 814 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,880 Speaker 1: those where, yeah, he says his foot hurts because he 815 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,600 Speaker 1: can he can't not go there. So basically, the NFL 816 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 1: made a rule that if you don't show up, they 817 00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 1: can find you fifty K and there's no way of 818 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: the team paying at off. You have to pay it. 819 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 1: So that's what everyone's waiting for. Your wait for him 820 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 1: to say, you know, my foothhurts, like Okay, just go 821 00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,760 Speaker 1: in the training room every day for the next two months. 822 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 1: So it's one of those where he's not playing. Please 823 00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,880 Speaker 1: stop drafting Deshaun Watson thinking you're getting a late round value. 824 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,680 Speaker 1: He's not worth it. Yeah. I don't think the reporting 825 00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: thing was actually like that big of a deal that 826 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: he was taking fourth team reps and like you said, 827 00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,000 Speaker 1: he was literally like a stand in defensive back. So 828 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 1: not super encouraging. A train wreck of a team headed 829 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:49,359 Speaker 1: for a dumpster fire that is situated on top of 830 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:54,399 Speaker 1: a nuclear power plant that is melting down. That right 831 00:43:54,440 --> 00:44:00,279 Speaker 1: there is the Houston Texans franchise, Samantha, give me one 832 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:06,719 Speaker 1: more backfield on a team that some of us otherwise 833 00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:11,720 Speaker 1: might think is a sleeper pick to win the NFC 834 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:18,800 Speaker 1: M I assume you're talking about the forty Niners. Yeah, 835 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 1: the forty Niners. I think I have a lot of 836 00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:27,239 Speaker 1: components for actual you know, NFL and winning games, but 837 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:32,240 Speaker 1: their backfield is quite the headache. Kyle Shanahan has commitment issues, 838 00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: doesn't love to use the committee to start with, moster 839 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,640 Speaker 1: can't stay healthy. Um when he's on the field, I 840 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 1: think he can give you RB two flex numbers, but 841 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:45,120 Speaker 1: they also drafted Tray Sermon and they got Wayne Gallman 842 00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: and Jeff Wilson, a lot of guys and like last season, 843 00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: it was one of the biggest headaches. It was like, JA, 844 00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: Michael Haysey's the guy, and then I don't know Jerick McKinnon, 845 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: who literally Kyle Shanahan said had tired legs and they 846 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:01,400 Speaker 1: were not going to use and then he gets twenty carries. 847 00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,399 Speaker 1: So it's one of the most unpredictable backfields. Everyone likes 848 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:08,480 Speaker 1: to talk about the Patriots as like the worst team 849 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 1: for fantasy, but the forty Lands backfield is up there 850 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,960 Speaker 1: for sure. So that's a that's a stay away from me, Simon. 851 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 1: Is that why I should be worried about betting the 852 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: forty Niners to win the NFC West. That's a bad 853 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,200 Speaker 1: bet as is, but a smart bet if you love value. 854 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 1: Chad Um again, hear me out. I'm gonna say a 855 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,319 Speaker 1: lot of crazy stuff in this preseason, but some of 856 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:32,200 Speaker 1: it's gonna hit, believe me. H one Tray Lance, the 857 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,880 Speaker 1: one m v P Are you with me, Chad one? 858 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: So I'm literally it sounds crazy, but I did it 859 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: with r G three who fun fact, Kyle Shanahan was 860 00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:45,319 Speaker 1: his O C and r G three I believe came 861 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,320 Speaker 1: third and voting. He won Rookie the Year but became 862 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 1: third m VP votes, So I had a nice little 863 00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,160 Speaker 1: hedge opportunity at a hundred of one R three year 864 00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,360 Speaker 1: he made that run, so h one tray Lance because 865 00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,919 Speaker 1: again I think people are drinking the Jimmy G kool aid. 866 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 1: Everything I read it out of nins camp, it sounds 867 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: like tray lance. He's leading the race right now in 868 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: that QB battle, So I think you're getting really good 869 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: value there. One I'm in Simon, give me ten gis 870 00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:16,239 Speaker 1: at a hundred and twenty one on tray Lance to 871 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,799 Speaker 1: an m v P, I am all in our friend. 872 00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:27,520 Speaker 1: Is anybody going to bet on the Hall of Fame game? Yeah, 873 00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,120 Speaker 1: so I just checked Vandel then put it up yet. 874 00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: But I love doing like first half bets and it's 875 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,399 Speaker 1: mainly based on the quarterbacks. So I just saw Mason 876 00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,520 Speaker 1: Rudolph will be the starting quarterback for the Steelers against 877 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,920 Speaker 1: who cares for the Cowboys? Like whoever is the backup 878 00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys? I promise you's gonna be worse than Mason Rudolph. 879 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna be taking Steelers first half. The line's 880 00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,319 Speaker 1: on up yet, but whatever the number is, I'll be 881 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,279 Speaker 1: taking Steelers first half. We already know we're going in 882 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 1: on Steelers first half, first bet of the year. I 883 00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,239 Speaker 1: wonder what Mike Tomlin is going to say about that. 884 00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: I love the foss enthusiasm. I MTUs see if we 885 00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,600 Speaker 1: can make what of you guys quit today. It's good 886 00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:05,959 Speaker 1: to be back, Samantha. Are you gonna Are you gonna 887 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,080 Speaker 1: pay any attention to the Hall of Fame game? Probably not. 888 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: I don't even think we're gonna see DC Prescott now. 889 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,040 Speaker 1: So I think that was a big storyline was that 890 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:16,439 Speaker 1: that was the first time we were going to see 891 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 1: him after he had a mangled ankle, so it was 892 00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,560 Speaker 1: going to be at least something. But we're not going 893 00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 1: to see him, and they're probably just not gonna play 894 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 1: a lot of the first team guys. So for fantasy purposes, 895 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm not interested. Um for betting purposes, I guess bet 896 00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,719 Speaker 1: the first half way to go. Now, Samantha is all in. 897 00:47:32,760 --> 00:47:34,680 Speaker 1: We got a group, are going, Matt Mitchell's gonna come 898 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 1: into We're all gonna bet the first half. We're gonna 899 00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 1: bet the Steelers. We don't care what the number is. 900 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 1: We're gonna be Mason Rudolph Fans. All right.
