1
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: Hey there everybody. It is Wednesday two. Welcome to the

2
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where on time is when we

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: get there, I'm your man, nam J Marcus Grant alongside

4
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: Michael f Florio and got a little bit of a

5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,600
Speaker 1: change in the driver's shop. Producer Justin still with us,

6
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: but I think he's handing the keys over to a producer, Randy,

7
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: Randy Chavez joining the show. At some point. We'll get

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: Randy in here on the mike and we will harass

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: him because he's a Packers fan. Um, and you know

10
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: that's just what we do here. What can we have

11
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: to harass the Packers with this week? I can't this week?

12
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: I think that's the key phrase, right like this week?

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I know, Uh, you know their quarterback, their

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: erstwhile quarterback. Uh, it's talking about he didn't know that

15
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: his views on COVID would would potentially break up his relationship.

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: Who knew? Anyway, Uh, we got some stuff to talk

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: about today. Uh. Free agencies coming up in a couple

18
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: of weeks, So I felt like the next few weeks

19
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: would be a good time to kind of go through

20
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: figure out some of the fantasy fits by a position.

21
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: We'll talk quarterbacks and tight ends today. I also have

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: a couple of interviews to throw in. I had a

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: chance to be out at Pro Bowl practice a few

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and uh talk to some fans out there

25
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: to get their thoughts on the fantasy season, kind of

26
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: get the pulse of the people, if you will, about

27
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, quarterbacks, going early, running backs, all that kind

28
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: of stuff. So we'll talk to that. Uh. And also

29
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to Justin Jefferson, who was

30
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: a really fun interview, so stick around for that. Uh. So, Florida,

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: how are you? How are you coping now that we're

32
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks without actual football? How And there's

33
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: no baseball right now? Right because normally I know that's

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: where you would pivot. So there's no football, don't appear

35
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: to be any baseball. How are you coping right now? Uh?

36
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: It's weird because like you're still seeing a lot of

37
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: hot takes for fantasy football and baseball and stuff like

38
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: that on Twitter, and I'm us like, I don't really

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: have the the passion, I guess right now to jump

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: in and have these hot takes. Although I am a

41
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: little bit crazy. I'm currently in too slow Best ball

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: football drafts and too slow best Ball Baseball drafts just

43
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: to keep me a little bit busy and occupied this

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: time of year. But uh, yes, and the last night

45
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: is when it really hit me because I like was

46
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: looking at what was on TV and I was like,

47
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: I can't even throw on a random NBA game. It's

48
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: the complete dead zone. That was the weird part, right.

49
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: I was like, well, it's it's you know, Tuesday night,

50
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: Like there's like, no, they're not back yet. They're still

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: They're still on the All Star break. So yeah, it

52
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: is very much a dead zone right now for a

53
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: lot of the major sports. Um. But speaking of the

54
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: the NBA All Star Game, UM, Myles Garrett played in

55
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: the the Celebrity Game that that took place on Friday

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: night and uh looked very much like the Hulk in

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: in a basketball jersey. UM. But he also tweeted afterwards

58
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: uh that he wants to sign up for the Dunk

59
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: Contest next year. UM, which would be interesting considering the

60
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: Dunk Contest has sort of lost a lot of its flare.

61
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: Uh why not let some some athletes from other sports

62
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: in there and see what they could do. But it

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: got me thinking because he tweeted about the dunk contest.

64
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf wants to qualify for the Olympics as a sprinter.

65
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: He's not sure if he wants to do the hundred meter,

66
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: the sixty or whatever. Uh, he's still rehabbing his foot injury,

67
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: but he says he plans on trying to qualify for

68
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: the Olympics. And it made me wonder, are there any

69
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: NFL players out there that you would like to see

70
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: play another sport? Yeah, there there's a good amount. Like

71
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't no offense to DK. I don't really get

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: excited when like football players try to become sprinters or

73
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: something like that, because it's not that exciting. But like,

74
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: I would love to see Kyler Murray or Russ or

75
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes or any of these players that were duels A J. Brown.

76
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: He posted a video the other day of him in

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: the batting cages and he could swing man. So like,

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: I would love to see some of these players try

79
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: to do the dual sport thing like we've seen happen

80
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: in the past, and k was one that I was

81
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: like man him and the dunk contest seems like it

82
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: would be a good time as well. I I'd also

83
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: like to see Aaron Donald try to play baseball just

84
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: because so massively big that I think it would be

85
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: entertaining to watch. Yeah, I mean they always talk about

86
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: guys like it's hard to be super muscular to play baseball.

87
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you do have to have some strength obviously.

88
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: I mean, they're definitely huge guys playing baseball. But I

89
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 1: do feel like one Aaron Donald would be super muscular,

90
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: and also that bat would look like a twig probably

91
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: in his hands when he's like trying to swing the thing. Um.

92
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: I would love to see, like, you know, the guys

93
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: who did play baseball previously, to see them step out

94
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: there right like, I don't know. I mean I know

95
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: what Kyler was an outfielder, but you know, I see

96
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Russ turned the double play at second base him and

97
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: Mahomes right like, that'd be a pretty sweet double play combination.

98
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: I think between the two of them, I think we

99
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: could make a like there's at least nine football players

100
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: right like where we could field a full team and

101
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: just watch them play like a one game Like I would.

102
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 1: I would watch that if like in the middle of

103
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: May or June they were like, hey, here we go,

104
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: Like I would sign up and watch that. I mean,

105
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: it'd be a fun thing to do like this time

106
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: of year, right, like if there was actually spring training

107
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: going on, like the NFL season is over, Uh, you know,

108
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: you send them out to Arizona or Florida they play

109
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: a couple of spring training games, you know, and to

110
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: do it early when like the guys are still kind

111
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: of getting in shape and and everything like that, Like

112
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: that would be kind of fun. Like I would totally

113
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: watch something like that. Um Hyam dropped in in the

114
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: chat to see if some of them could play soccer. Um,

115
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 1: I know chat Oo Sinko wants to try it out

116
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: for an MLS team that didn't work out. But there's

117
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: gotta be some guys out there. And I'm even thinking

118
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: non kickers, right Like, I'm sure there are plenty of

119
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,119
Speaker 1: kickers who could play SoC but like some non kickers

120
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: out there, anything like Odell I think is actually a

121
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: pretty decent soccer player, if I'm not mistaken. That'd be fun.

122
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: It would also be great, though, to see the guys

123
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: who have never played something like these freak athletes just

124
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: like struggling, like because I mean, if you've never played

125
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,479
Speaker 1: soccer before, it is hard, so that would be entertaining

126
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: just to watch like have a like do have a

127
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: day where like we just get a bunch of athletes

128
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: like these NFL players and we make them play random sports.

129
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: It would be a lot of fun. No, I totally

130
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: know that. I think that'd be awesome. Um, like you

131
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: know exactly, like I know everybody talks about like, hey,

132
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: Lebron would be a great tight end or something like that.

133
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: But like, you know, could Travis Kelsey like post up right,

134
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: could he be a good power forward or something like that?

135
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like Gronk would just be a

136
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: foul machine as a gonna behave player. Um, but yeah,

137
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: I'd be totally dab or something like that. But yeah,

138
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But I still I still think

139
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: it'd be fun to see Myles Garrett the dunk contest.

140
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 1: What do you do? Whatever? Uh? And good luck to

141
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: DK met Half if you see if he can make

142
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: the Olympics in four, which I believe is in London

143
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. But he would have to be

144
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: the most like jacked sprinter right like, because those guys

145
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: all want to be like lean and like, you know, aerodynamic,

146
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: and he just comes in like a tank. Yeah, yeah,

147
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: that would be I would I'd watch it though, I

148
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: would definitely watch it if you were there. So all right,

149
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: let's get to some of these these fantasy fits for

150
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: free agency that does start in a couple of weeks,

151
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: and so we'll go through the quarterbacks, the tight ends today.

152
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: We'll get through running backs and wide receiversh probably in

153
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: a week or two. Um we'll also do some combine

154
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: talk somewhere in here as well at some point. But UM,

155
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: I didn't go through the hole. That's our our our

156
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: good pal and researcher extraordinary Matt Frederick put together a

157
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: list of some of the key fantasy relevant free agents

158
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: that are expected to hit the market sometime soon. Now,

159
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: knowing our luck, the moment we record this, uh and

160
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 1: put it out somebody, he will get hit with like

161
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: a franchise tag or something like that, and we'll just

162
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: ruin the whole thing we're trying to do here. But

163
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: in the meantime, at the moment, these guys are set

164
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: to be free agents. So I picked five quarterbacks. It's

165
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: not the full list, but it's the ones I thought

166
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: were maybe the most interesting, and we can talk about

167
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: where you think they fit, or if they fit anywhere

168
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: at all. Um. The first one's Teddy Bridgewater, who was fine,

169
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: was serviceable this year for the Broncos. I don't know

170
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: that he's a huge fantasy guy. I mean he's he's

171
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: a guy that you pick up off the waiver wire,

172
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 1: you play him in the right matchup, That's about it.

173
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: But chances are he's not gonna be in Denver next year,

174
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: and assuming that he leaves the Broncos, do you see

175
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: a good spot for him next year? It's nothing against Teddy.

176
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of over the Teddy Bridgewater as a starter,

177
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: at least for fantasy purposes. He doesn't really elevate anyone

178
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: so my thinking though, but like he's good enough to

179
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: compete for his starting job. The first out that I

180
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: I thought of that I think makes a lot of

181
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: sense is like Cleveland, like go there, back up Baker

182
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: Mayfield potentially compete with him, because I think the Browns

183
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: are at the point where, like, if Baker doesn't show

184
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: life early on this year, they're gonna be like, all right,

185
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: it's time to move on. And I think Teddy is

186
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: the type of quarterback that you could move on to

187
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: while still trying to compete. Um, But I don't think

188
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: there's an obvious landing spot for him where he could

189
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: just go in and start. So I want to see

190
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: him go somewhere where uh like similar to what like

191
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: the Titans did a couple of years ago when they

192
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: brought in Ryan Tannehill because they were unsure of Mariota.

193
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: Go to a spot like that where if the starters

194
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: struggles and they're like, all right, we want to move on.

195
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: I think Teddy is that perfect QUB two. So you're

196
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: talking about him going to Cleveland and maybe competing with

197
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield or pushing him there. I had a similar

198
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: thought about him, say, going to Houston. Um. You know,

199
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: and I know that they've talked about Davis Mills, and

200
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, Lovey smith Is said he thinks Davis Mills, uh,

201
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: you know, could potentially be a guy. I don't know

202
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: if he's gonna be the guy, but but you know,

203
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: there's certainly very complimentary of him, um, and all things considered,

204
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 1: I mean what he was working with. I can't say

205
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: he had a terrible season, but you know, I think

206
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be unwise to bring somebody in a veteran

207
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: presence who can maybe push him in training camp and

208
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: who can step in and you know, if something were

209
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: to happen, Uh, you know you have at least a

210
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: capable back up in Teddy Bridgewater there. So uh you

211
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: know that the Texans are still I think quite a

212
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: ways away from being I think seriously competitive, but uh,

213
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: you know, making sure you at least have your quarterback

214
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: depth would would be important. So I think I think

215
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: that's a good spot for him. But I'm kind of

216
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: with you. I don't know that, uh, Teddy Bridgewater is

217
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: going to go somewhere and be a starter. I think

218
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: those days are are sort of behind him. We we

219
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: kind of know what we have at this point and

220
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: it's fine. Um, but it's but like you said, it's

221
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: not it's not going to elevate anybody or any team

222
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: around him at this point, which sort of transitions nicely

223
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: into Cam Newton because he seems to have fallen into

224
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: that category as well. Uh, he came back to Carolina,

225
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 1: it wasn't great. Um, and he is a free agent now.

226
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: My my actual question is does he even get signed

227
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: or do we go through the whole spring in summer

228
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton looking for a job, or is there

229
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: somebody that you think should and will take a shot

230
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: at him. I don't have a definitive team in mind

231
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: that that would, And my thinking is, I think your

232
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: question is on the nose because like my initial thinking

233
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: with Cam Newton was like, he's going to do what

234
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: he did the last two years. Like last year he

235
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: didn't sign until what was it like October, but we

236
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: were already well into the season, and there was an injury,

237
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: and it was a team that knew him the year

238
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: before that. He didn't sign to like late June with

239
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots, so he's been waiting for the right opportunity.

240
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he goes that route again.

241
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 1: I think Cam Newton still thinks he's a starter at

242
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: the end of fell level. I personally don't think he

243
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: is anymore. I think his shoulder injuries have just kind

244
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: of ruined what was once an m v P quarterback. Um.

245
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: I think he could be a really good backup, especially

246
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: a veteran presence. Like the idea the thoughts I had

247
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: were like he could go there to Philly and like

248
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: mentor Jalen Hurts, or be a backup on a team

249
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: like the Ravens, where if Lamar was to get hurt

250
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: in his time. Again, you don't have to change up

251
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: your offense because you have a quarter a mobile quarterback

252
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: waiting in the wings. But I'm not so confident he's

253
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna want to just be a backup, Like, hey, backup

254
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. We keep saying that Josh Allen is the

255
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: new Cam Newton, like, do something like that. But I'm

256
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: thinking he's probably gonna want to hold out until he

257
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: gets a better chance at starting. I mean, you talk

258
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: about him going to be a backup somewhere where he

259
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: can mentor somebody. Another name that that popped into my

260
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: head in that regard, uh would be Chicago. Um, you know,

261
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: I who knows who's gonna happen with Andy Dalton? Um,

262
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: you know he stepped in and it was Andy Dalton

263
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: for the Bears this year. But if obviously the goal

264
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: is to get Justin Fields up to speed and have

265
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: him be the quarterback. Um. Look, I know it's not

266
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: a one to one comparison in terms of skill set,

267
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: but I do think that that he could learn a

268
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: lot from a guy like Cam Newton. But it is,

269
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: as you say, is Cam willing to go somewhere and

270
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: be a backup. And I'm not totally sure that he is, uh,

271
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: in which case he's probably gonna be waiting a while

272
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: um because I don't I don't think any of the

273
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: teams that need a quarterback right now are going to

274
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: be interested in Cam Newton. So we'll see if he

275
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: he actually does get signed or if he he hangs

276
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: out of it. Again, I just had one more idea

277
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 1: where he could go. He could go wherever whoever drafts

278
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 1: Malik Willis and maybe be like a bridge. Like if

279
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: they don't want to start Willis right out the gate,

280
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 1: you could start Cam for like the first month and

281
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: then he's a mentor. But again, I'm not so sure

282
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: if Cam's gonna want us done somewhere to be that role.

283
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: We we've seen quarterbacks struggle to adjust to that, Like, hey,

284
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: I'm not the star anymore now, I'm the guy preparing

285
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: the stars. So we'll see. But I do think there's

286
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: landing spots that makes sense for Cam. It's just a

287
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: matter of what we said. If he wants to be

288
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 1: a backup, right it's it's it's gonna be about Cam

289
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: and what he wants to do and where he wants

290
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: to play, uh and what role he's gonna be willing

291
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: to take. So um, that's sort of why I think

292
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna be waiting for a while. Do you think

293
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: if he's a backup, he still comes to the games

294
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: and like his his autely awesome suits. Absolutely, he's gonna

295
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: come in and all the fits, regardless of what his

296
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: role on the team is. Um. Yeah, that that part

297
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: of Cam I think will never change. So um. I

298
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: mean that's one reason we got to have him in

299
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: the league, just to to see his fits. Right, it's

300
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: more fun with Cam. Um. So from Cam to Jameis Winston,

301
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: who you know obviously last year had the injury. Um

302
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: mr good chunk of the season. We thought he was

303
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: going to be the guy in New Orleans. And I

304
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: guess it's the simple does he stay in New Orleans?

305
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: You know there's a coaching change, There's gonna be a

306
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: lot of upheaval. I think for the Saints, do they

307
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: bring him back and try to let him, you know,

308
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: see what he can do, or is it better that

309
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: he tests the water somewhere else. We we heard reports

310
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: this week that the Saints want to bring him back.

311
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: I'm thinking that's probably the most likely scenario because he

312
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: knows that the team in the system, But man, the

313
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: Saints are are pretty rough. Like I know, they could

314
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: have Michael Thomas back this year, but that might not

315
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: work out. He might want to get traded. Then there's

316
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: Kimara and not a whole lot else around him. We

317
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: just saw last year how a knee make the Saints

318
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: offense looked at times. I continue to think like Pittsburgh

319
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: would be a spot that makes a lot of sense

320
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: for Winston. They got a good defense, they got good

321
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: pieces on offense. He could just throw the ball up

322
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: downfield to Chase Claypool, stuff like that. But we're we're

323
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: hearing a lot of smoke with the Saints as of

324
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: right now. Ultimately, I think that's where he ends up.

325
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: But for fantasy, there's definitely more appealing options. I mean,

326
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: we talked about him going to Pittsburgh last year, right

327
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: like that was supposed to be the the landing spot

328
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: we thought. We figured, Okay, at some point the Steelers

329
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: have to move on from Ben Roethlisberger. Why not take

330
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: a shot at a guy like Jamis Winston to take

331
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: advantage of those downfield weapons. Obviously that didn't happen. They

332
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: wrote it out with Ben. Yeah, I mean they made

333
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Um, I don't know that it was necessarily

334
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: because of Ben, but they got there. Um. I did

335
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: see a list of potential landing spots and and a

336
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: couple that I thought were interesting. I mean, the Steelers

337
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: were on that list. That was an interesting one. Washington,

338
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: and and we talked to Taylor heiniky you and I

339
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: just before Super Bowl, And at some point we will

340
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: will run that interview, um, you know, on on the

341
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: pod here. But uh, you know, one of the things

342
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: he kept talking about was just sort of knowing, like

343
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: he Taylor High, he has no illusions about who he

344
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: is and what his role in the NFL is, and

345
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: he understands that he will probably always be looking over

346
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: his shoulder as a guy who was undrafted, who, as

347
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: he told us, they brought into Washington basically to be

348
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: the emergency quarterback, like he was the COVID quarterback. Like

349
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: try not to sit next to anybody. Uh you know,

350
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: you're sort of in the room, but you're not really

351
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: in the room for meetings. We're just here. We just

352
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: have you here in case everything else goes wrong. And

353
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: then one behold, he ends up be in the starting

354
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: quarterback for Washington. But look, you got Terry McLaurin there. Um,

355
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: you know, we've seen them try to put some pieces

356
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: together offensively. Maybe Jamis goes to Washington and throws some

357
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: yellow balls too, scary Terry. It doesn't sound terrible on me. Yeah,

358
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,919
Speaker 1: that sounds terrible to me. Um. I mean, look, we

359
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: were excited about Ryan Fitzpatrick possibly doing that. We didn't

360
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: get to see it. But maybe Jamis is the guy

361
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: in Washington. I don't know. I don't hate that idea

362
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: now that as I'm talking myself through it out loud, like,

363
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't really that he would be the

364
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: best quarterback Terry has ever. So sign me up for that.

365
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: He would be wow. All right, um, all right, so

366
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: there we go. We've we've decided Jamis is going to Washington.

367
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: That's that's all done. Let's let's lock that one up. Uh.

368
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 1: The next one on my list here, it was Marcus

369
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: Mariota and look he You know, it was interesting watching

370
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: last year because the Raiders put some packages in for him.

371
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: They'd bring him in every once in a while and

372
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: he might you know, run an r P O he

373
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: might take off running. What have you? Um, I saw

374
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: a report and this is not an actual report. Is

375
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: more kind of an opinion of speculation that Marcus Mariota

376
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 1: could be a good fit for the forty Niners if

377
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan isn't totally sold on trade Lands or just

378
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: want somebody who can kind of mentor and be kind

379
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: of a backup for for trade Lands, that Mariota can

380
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: can go in there. He can run the football if

381
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: they need him to. Maybe he can deliver it quickly

382
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: when they need him to. I will say as a

383
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 1: forty Niner fan, I don't necessarily I don't hate it.

384
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: I don't love it. It just kind of is uh.

385
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: Do you think that's a good fit or is there

386
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,400
Speaker 1: maybe a better one for Mariota out there? I think

387
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: it's a good fit as a backup. Like, I don't

388
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: think there's any world where Marcus Mariota comes in and

389
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: could push Tray Lance and take that starting job. I

390
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: think the only person who could take that starting job

391
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,239
Speaker 1: from Trey Lance is Tom Brady. Um. Besides that, like,

392
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: and I don't expect that to happen. Besides that, though,

393
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: I think they drafted Trey Lance third overall for a reason.

394
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 1: But I do think Mariota is a good fit because

395
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: he's a mobile style quarterback. And I if I have

396
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback that can run, I want a backup

397
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: who is able to run because I don't want to

398
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: have to limit my playbook and and everything that I've

399
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: been running because I have to make a quarterback change.

400
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: I want at least a quarterback that could come in

401
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 1: and do similar things. And I think that is Mariota. Uh.

402
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: With for Trey Lance in the forty nine. He is

403
00:19:56,320 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: one of those quarterbacks though that is getting hype about, like, uh,

404
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 1: you know, re emerging starter and and I'm like, listen,

405
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: the guy through two passes all year last year. Yeah,

406
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: he came in. He looked really athletic, he was running

407
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: the ball at times. Uh, he's still as a passer,

408
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: more of the Mariota that we saw in Tennessee all

409
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: those years. Uh. If he doesn't go to the Niners,

410
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: I would like to see him go somewhere maybe where

411
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: he could push a starter, because I do think he's

412
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: a high quality backup. But I think he's getting overhyped

413
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: a little bit too much. Is like this guy is

414
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a good NFL starter again. I mean I

415
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: think when you talk about going somewhere where he's got

416
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: kind of similar skill set to the other quarterback you mentioned,

417
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 1: San Francisco against Chicago is another another city that potentially

418
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: pops up there. Uh, you know, have him kind of

419
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: playing behind justin fields. But yeah, I do think it's

420
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: funny that basically he comes in he has a couple

421
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: of nice runs. I think when he scored a couple

422
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: of touchdowns I think on the ground this year. Uh,

423
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: and now we're talking about he had one rushing touchdown

424
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: this year. Um, now we're talking about him is maybe

425
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: being a starter again, Which I'm with you. I think

426
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: it's weird. I also think it speaks to the quarterback

427
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: issues around the league. Um, with so many teams kind

428
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: of looking for a starter. Uh, how about this Mariota

429
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: in Carolina? Maybe, Um, they need they need quarter As

430
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: much as they're trying to like pretend that they love

431
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, they can't. They can't just go into the

432
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: season with only Donald on their roster as their top

433
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: quarter right. They've got to get somebody else who can

434
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: push him, right. They can't just let him be the

435
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 1: guy no way, whether it's drafting one signing someone like this. Oh,

436
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: I mean for like a year now, they've been tied

437
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: to every big name quarterback that we hear rumored. Maybe

438
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: they finally, you know, make the big swing. They are

439
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: a roster that in a division that is completely up

440
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: for grabs, Like I think if you gave them above

441
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: average quarterback, like they can easily win that division with

442
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: the with the says they have around them, So dud

443
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: they can't go in with Sam Donald, I would be

444
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: I was in on Donald last year, like he has upside,

445
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: he's finally left the Jets, and then he showed to

446
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: still be the same Sam Donald. Um. Other question, actually,

447
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: I want to go back because you mentioned the the

448
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: NFC south right, and you're right, it is is wide open,

449
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: especially with Brady now retired at least as of the moment.

450
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: What do we think about Jamis Winston returning to Tampa.

451
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: I I would rather that than Jamis Winston returned to

452
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: the Saints. I don't think it will happen, only because

453
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: this is an offense where he threw thirty interceptions in

454
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: and I think there probably not gonna want to get

455
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,639
Speaker 1: back in with that. But it would be awesome. It

456
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: was like, hey, we let you go for two years

457
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: because we were able to get the goat, but we

458
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 1: we still want you and it would be better for

459
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: Mike Evans and whoever other the pieces are there in Tampa.

460
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: Because are we really gonna feel good if it's like

461
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: Kyle Trask, I much rather Jamis Winston. I mean that's

462
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: the thing, right, because I don't know what quarterback they're

463
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: gonna bring in that that we're gonna get super excited

464
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 1: about for fantasy. But we just want somebody who can

465
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 1: get the ball to Mike Evans, uh, you know, to

466
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin if he's back to whomever is is going

467
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: to be catching the football. We just want to know

468
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 1: that that that player is going to be productive. And

469
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: we know if Jamis is the guy, like Mike Evans

470
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: will be fine, Like there won't be any questions at all. Uh,

471
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: we may not draft Jamis, will still draft Mike Evans. Um.

472
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: All right, So the fifth and final quarterback I have

473
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: on this list, and you talk about a guy who

474
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: potentially could be a starter again Mitchell Shubinski, who has

475
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: been backing up Josh Allen in Buffalo, and he says

476
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: he is ready to be a starter again after you

477
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: know what was not a a great time in Chicago.

478
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 1: Uh where can he go to be potentially start? I mean,

479
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: are we talking Carolina? Are we talking Tampa? Where would

480
00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: he go where he could be a fit and start

481
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: potential way. So, my original thinking with Rubinsky was he

482
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense for the New York Giants

483
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: to back up Daniel Jones stay connected with Brian Dable.

484
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: But I actually believe he's going to get another chance

485
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: at starting, or at least get to go somewhere where

486
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: he could compete. And I think the teams that you

487
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: said all makes sense. Like I think he can go

488
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 1: to Carolina and compete, And I think he's better than

489
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, So I wouldn't be surprised if he beat

490
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 1: him out there. Maybe Tampa with Kyle Trask, I think

491
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 1: he would be able to beat him out. I also

492
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: keep thinking the Pittsburgh Steelers, like if they miss out

493
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: on Malik Willis, I think they like he's better than

494
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph, he he's more mobile. Uh. So, I I

495
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: do think Trubisky is gonna get a spot. I know

496
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: producer Hype them loves the fact that since he's top

497
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: four in win percentage. But the truth for Rubinsky is

498
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: I want to see him without Matt Naggy because we've

499
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: saw Matt Naggy holdback justin Fields, who we all believe

500
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: is really really good. So I am curious to see

501
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: what Rubisky looks like in a news system and probably

502
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 1: with better pieces around him. Yeah, that was That was funny.

503
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: There was like an infographic floating around on the internet

504
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: about win percentages was seen? Was it? Uh? Yeah? And

505
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: that yeah, it was highest win percentage among active quarterbacks

506
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: in Patrick Mahomes was first, Lamar Jackson's second, Aaron Rodgers third,

507
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: which you know, all those are like okay, yeah, sure

508
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: I can buy that, that makes sense. Uh and then

509
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubisky comes in at fourth, and that's when you're like, okay,

510
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: we've we've sort of manipulated these numbers a little bit

511
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: to make this be a thing. So uh yeah, um,

512
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: but yeah, I could I could definitely see a Carolina Um.

513
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 1: You know, like you said, you think he's better than

514
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: than Donald. I wouldn't really argue that. I can say

515
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: that I don't think he's worse for sure, that is

516
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: probably more accurate, right, Like, I definitely don't think he's

517
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: worse than Sam Donald. So um, yeah, I think Carolina

518
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: might be kind of an interesting spot uh for for

519
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: Rabinsky there. So anyway, so those are a handful of

520
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. I'm sure there will be some others that

521
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: make some news. Uh again, probably by the time we

522
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: release this podcast, because that's just sort of the way

523
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: our our our luck works. Um. But I did have

524
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,679
Speaker 1: a chance a few weeks ago during Pro Bowl practice

525
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 1: out in Las Vegas to chat up some fans, a

526
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 1: gaggle of forty Niner and Cowboy fans who were somehow

527
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: hanging out together, uh peaceably. It's amazing, um, and kind

528
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: of got their thoughts on some of the fantasy season

529
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: to come with the number one pick is who should

530
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 1: be the first quarterback off the board, and just some

531
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 1: general Straft strategy because you know, Floria and I talked

532
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: about this all the time. It's always nice to go

533
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: out and get the pulse of the people out there.

534
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: So as you hear some of those folks have to

535
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: say out in Vegas, they're nine of fans of it.

536
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: Here's like I asked the Cowboy fans, like what happened? Hey,

537
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: die heartboy? They got lucky up next year, Cardinals next season? Baby,

538
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: the number you never back there? All right? All right,

539
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: so I got but I gotta said, you guys play

540
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,159
Speaker 1: fantasy football, all okay, okay, so you go. Since you

541
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,880
Speaker 1: are watch champion. Who's your number one pick next year? Oh?

542
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: My number one pick is gonna be uh Michael Right,

543
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna have to be a running back. Oh man,

544
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna it's probably gonna be uh Jonathan Taylor.

545
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: It's gotta be Cooper cup Taylor. Alright, what's back? Gonna

546
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: be Kyler Murray? Dead for sure? Baby? Alright, alright, so

547
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: your quarterback's Kyler Murray. Umre you we are you taking

548
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: the hop hop? You know I'll probably take them about

549
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 1: second third round? Yeah? Yeah, yeah? Alright, So you have

550
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor is your first overall? Who's your first quarterback?

551
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 1: First quarterback? It depends because we can see the carousel

552
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers. You don't know where he's gonna be.

553
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: But um, I have Josh Allen. He's gonna I think

554
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna go for m VP next year, either him

555
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: or Justin Herbert. You got you got an early sleeper

556
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: for me. I think Courtland Sutton Cortland Sutton with a

557
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: new quarterback. He's gonna go off next year. Thanks man,

558
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. Uh side note to that kind of funny story. Um,

559
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: as I was walking over to uh talk to some

560
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 1: fans there, someone saw me and he pointed at me

561
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: and he said, I drafted Leavisca Cherna because of you,

562
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: and I wanted to turn around and run away in shame. Um,

563
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: so I had to offer my humble apologies. It's better

564
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: happening there than like, you know, in Walgreens or something

565
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: like that. True, true, Yeah, that'd be rough if I

566
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: was like in Ralphs and somebody's like coming up and

567
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 1: be rating me because they picked somebody that didn't work

568
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: out for their fantasy teams. So uh yeah, but yeah, interesting.

569
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think right now, I think

570
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: the consensus sort of is that Jonathan Taylor is going

571
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: to be the number one pick and that Josh Allen

572
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: is gonna be the first quarterback off the board. You know,

573
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: at least right now in February. That seems to be

574
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 1: kind of how things are going. I don't know. I mean,

575
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: I know you love Jonathan Taylor, I know you love

576
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I any thought that maybe that changes by

577
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: the time we get to August. I think Josh Allen

578
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: is a lock to be the QB one um. I

579
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: think Zach Taylor Jonathan Taylor is close to being a lock,

580
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: but I think there's people who could make a case

581
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: stronger case for other running backs. Marcus. I also, I've

582
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: told you I'm dabbling in a couple of these early drafts,

583
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: and I know we have plenty of time to talk

584
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: about it, but I'm starting to pivot away from my

585
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: draft of running back in the first round strong I

586
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 1: might be moving to uh two receivers. I know you

587
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: talked about drafting Cooper Cup early on, so is that

588
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 1: is that going to be the move for you this

589
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: this year. It's because for me, there's like the elite

590
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers that you could get around one like like Cup, Adams,

591
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: Jefferson h Chase, even if you want to throw in

592
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: like a Tyreek Debot digs like those guys get so

593
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: much volume every single week. And then I was surprised

594
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: in my early drafts, like half the first round was receivers,

595
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: and I'm like, cool, if we're gonna get some of

596
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: these guys that we were taking in the first round

597
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: for running backs in the second round. That only makes

598
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 1: it easier to take a receiver earlier. Yeah, I guess so. Um,

599
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm very curious. I have yet to jump in the

600
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: Best Ball Draft. I should probably do that sometimes soon,

601
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: just to kind of your normal. I mean, I am,

602
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: but I should probably try to get the pulse of

603
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: what's happening right now. I try to figure that one out.

604
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,959
Speaker 1: By the way you talk about running backs going number one,

605
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: I've still seen people making a case for Christian McCaffrey

606
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: as the number one overall pick. Um, you know, I don't.

607
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: I don't hate it. I don't hate it. I don't

608
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: know if that's gonna be me this year, but I

609
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: don't necessarily hate the idea of it. So all right,

610
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: we'll come back. We will take a quick break, we'll

611
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: come back. We'll talk about some tight end fantasy fits.

612
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: Will also get you our interview with Justin Jefferson from

613
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Practice. That was a fun one, so we'll

614
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 1: stick around for that coming up on the NFL Fantasy

615
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: Football Show. M alright, break, break, break, pause, pause, pause,

616
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: and back in three to one. All right, we are

617
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 1: looking at a free agency the upcoming free agency period. Uh,

618
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL and look at some tight ends. I

619
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: got about five of them here. There was a pretty

620
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: hefty list of tight ends. Not all of them I

621
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: thought were immediately fantasy relevant. And I'm not even sure

622
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 1: that all of these guys I have on this list

623
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,600
Speaker 1: are fantasy relevant, but they were at least intriguing to

624
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: me to talk about. So, uh, we'll start with zach Ertz,

625
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: who I mean, that was one of those trades that

626
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: I think worked out for sort of everybody. I mean,

627
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,520
Speaker 1: it definitely helped Dallas Goddard in Philadelphia, and it helped

628
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: the Cardinals get exact Earth's and having him be productive there.

629
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: Should he even leave Arizona or is there a place

630
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: that you think could be be good for him next year?

631
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 1: I think the best spot is for him to stay

632
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 1: in Arizona. I mean, he went there. He's clearly a

633
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 1: big part of their their passing attack. Plus A J.

634
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: Green Christian Kirk are free agents this year. We saw

635
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins miss time last year and urts himself as

636
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 1: no like spring Chickens, So I don't want to see

637
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: him go into a new offense where used to learn

638
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: the offense, and you know, form chemistry with the quarterback

639
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: and compete with other guys there for targets like let

640
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: him just be here, uh in an offense that he

641
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: knows and played well in. Because I think if he

642
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,400
Speaker 1: is once again with the Arizona Cardinals, and I think

643
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: he's back in play is like a borderline tight in one.

644
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Whereas he goes somewhere else, I think then we have

645
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: to we have other concerns that we won't have if

646
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: he's in A Yeah, no, I agree. I mean I

647
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: think this, this one seems like the easiest one right

648
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: stick in Arizona, every thing worked well there. You mentioned

649
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: those guys that are going to be free agents. I

650
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: mean there's already talked that Christian Kirk is probably gonna

651
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: go somewhere else next year. I mean A J. Green

652
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: I would assume still has some football left in him,

653
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: because you know, he had moments, especially late in the year,

654
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: where he was very productive. So I don't think he's

655
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: ready to retire just yet. But he is still on

656
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: the back end of his career. So everything just seems

657
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: set up well for zach ORRT. So this one, this

658
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 1: one feels like a no brainer that he should stay

659
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: in Arizona, UM, which means he's likely going to go

660
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 1: somewhere else because this is what we all want and

661
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: we never get what we want. So that's that's that. UM.

662
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: Gronk is a free agent. UM. He has said that

663
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: his decision to play or not play in the future

664
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: is not tied to what Tom Brady does. But let's

665
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: keep it real. We have never seen Rob Gronkowski without

666
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Like that's just been his quarterback for his

667
00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: whole professional career. Do you think he retires, I mean,

668
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: aside from Tom Brady, who's aside? I mean, this is

669
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 1: a guy who has taken a physical beating throughout his career. Uh.

670
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: The injuries definitely starting to pile up. He does not

671
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: look like the same guy who was just a monster

672
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: all those years in New England. Does he retire? Does

673
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: he stay in Tampa? Does he goes somewhere else? I

674
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: when Tom Brady announced his retirement, I actually tweeted. I

675
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: was like, I guess this means the end of Gronk too,

676
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: because up until recently, Gronk was saying like, I will

677
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: not catch passes from anyone other than Tom Brady, and like,

678
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,800
Speaker 1: if Brady retires I'm probably retiring. And it made sense

679
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: because we had already seen Gronk step away. We had

680
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: seen Gronk, you know, pursue other endeavors, and he's like,

681
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: he said, he's taken a beating himself. He's he's getting

682
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: up there in age for his position. Then he came

683
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 1: out and he was like, I'll play with that young buck.

684
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: If he signs anywhere, I'm kind of expecting it to

685
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: be Cincinnati. Uh. And if it's not Cincinnati and he

686
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 1: still wants to keep playing, I think he'll go to

687
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: another contender, whether that be like the Chargers or or

688
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: someone like that. I think he's gonna go somewhere where

689
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 1: they have an established quarterback and an established chance of

690
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: winning a Super Bowl. I don't think he's he's not

691
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: playing for money or numbers or anything like that. No,

692
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: he really I think at this point he really is

693
00:35:14,680 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: playing just for the love of the game, right and

694
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: just just the the competition aspect of it. Because you're right,

695
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: I mean, he's made all the money that he probably can.

696
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: He's one championships. Um, there's really not much else in

697
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: terms of accolades and accomplishments left for him to play for. Us.

698
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: What really is just about you know, wanting to be

699
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: out there, wanting to see if he can maybe win

700
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: another ring, and that that's kind of it. I do

701
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: like the Cincinnati angle though, um with him saying that, um, which,

702
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: so I'll just skip down the list then, right, So

703
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: let's say we're moving Gronk to Cincinnati. C j Usama

704
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: is a free agent. Um. I don't think the two

705
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,239
Speaker 1: of them can coexist on that Bengals roster. So let's

706
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: since we have automatically put Gronk in there, and that

707
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: is now Gospel, it's Cannon. Now, Um, where does c

708
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,120
Speaker 1: j U Sama end up? The first place that I

709
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: thought of, and I think it makes sense is the cults,

710
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: like the Colts, is an offense that likes to showcase

711
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: their tight ends. Obviously, they have other pieces around them,

712
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: so they don't want to have like not that they

713
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: don't want to have, but they don't need like a

714
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: superstar tight end, but they do need a reliable tight end. Uh,

715
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 1: and that is something they've lacked the last couple of years.

716
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: We've seen it be a revolving door between multiple tight ends.

717
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: I think Usama comes in. He's clearly their best option

718
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: He's a threat after the catch, and he would be

719
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: arguably their second best receiving option after Michael Pittman Jr.

720
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: Depending on what they do in free agency and the draft.

721
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: So that was one spot that just I thought of,

722
00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 1: like with the USAMA and I think it makes a

723
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 1: lot of sense. Actually I like that too, because you

724
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,880
Speaker 1: know the Titans or that the the Cults rather use

725
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: their their tight end quite a bit. I sort of

726
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: just spoiled where I was gonna go with it. I'm

727
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: staying in the division. I think I think Tennessee would

728
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 1: be an interesting spot too. I know last offseason a

729
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: lot of people were trying to get excited about Anthony

730
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: ferks Er Um I didn't really materialize. You know, It's

731
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: like him and Jeff Swain and Michael Prue at all

732
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: kind of taking opportunities and what have you, but nobody

733
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: really established themselves as the guy at tight end. Um.

734
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, obviously A J. Brown's the number one. I

735
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: know Tennessee is hoping that Julio Jones can can stay

736
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: healthy next year. And you know, look something close to

737
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: the Julio Jones we saw all those years in Atlanta.

738
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 1: So it's not like you bring in a c J

739
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,560
Speaker 1: Usama and you're immediately expecting him to be a superstard

740
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:38,879
Speaker 1: right away. But if you can have him as your

741
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 1: third receiving option, um, you know, and then you get

742
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry back for a full season and everything. I

743
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 1: think he's a nice piece there in Tennessee for a

744
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 1: team that you know, Look, they were the one seed

745
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:51,839
Speaker 1: for better or worse in the a f C. They

746
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: won the division. Um, they are still primed to be

747
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: very competitive in the a f C. Uh, why not

748
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: at c J use out of that offense, give him

749
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: one more piece to work with there. So I think

750
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: we basically Bothal and Justin loves it, so I must

751
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: be on the right track. Putting him in Tennessee. I

752
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: think that would be a good fit for him. Man,

753
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: you have the other two receivers opening up space and

754
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,919
Speaker 1: he could be underneath, and we know he can run

755
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: after the catch. So I think it makes a lot

756
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: of sense. All right. So now we've got that sets,

757
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: we've got Gronkin, since we've got Usama, uh in Tennessee,

758
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: where do we put Mike GASICKI? I mean we we're look,

759
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: we're getting people homes today, right. We got zach Ertz

760
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 1: still sticking in Arizona. We got Gronk, we got Usama,

761
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: Mike GASSICKI, Um, he was fine. He's been fine in

762
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 1: in Miami. I always like to use him sort of

763
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 1: as the poster child for the kind of mid round

764
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 1: meth tight end. But you know, it's all said and done,

765
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: he ends up kind of hanging around being the top

766
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,000
Speaker 1: ten tight end. Does he stay in Miami or should

767
00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 1: he go somewhere? I think he should just just stay

768
00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: right where he is. Why would he want to leave

769
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: that Miami weather. Um? But in all seriousness, like he's

770
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: been a huge actor of to a tongue voylo. He's publicly,

771
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: you know, come out and said all the right things

772
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: about his quarterback, and he's like, I'm excited to see

773
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 1: what this Dolphin's offense could look like with Mike McDaniel,

774
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: because I'm like, is it gonna kind of mirror what

775
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 1: they did in San Francisco? And if that's the case,

776
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: Gausecki is a chess piece for McDaniel. Like, I know

777
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: he's a tight end, but he lines about why he

778
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: lines up in the slot. He'll line up as a

779
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: traditional tight end. Uh, And then you know, with the

780
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: forty nine is like George Kittle thrived because they were

781
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,399
Speaker 1: able to get him the ball in space and let

782
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: him show like how good of an athlete he is

783
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 1: and run after the catch. Not saying Gasecki is George Kittle,

784
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:42,399
Speaker 1: but he's a very good athlete himself, So I would

785
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 1: be excited to see what he can do in a

786
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniels system. So I just wanted to stay tight,

787
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 1: stay in my end like that. I mean, my thought

788
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: was maybe he goes to Indianapolis and and you know,

789
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: kind of fills that role there. But I think you know,

790
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: with you bringing up McDaniel uh and what he did

791
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: with the forty niners offense last year and being able

792
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: to move George Kittle around, um Gasicki is not the

793
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: blocking tight end that Kittle is, so he would be

794
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: more of a receiving threat. Like sometimes I think sometimes

795
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: for fantasy we lose out on Kittle because they asked

796
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:14,919
Speaker 1: him to stay in and block, so he's not able

797
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 1: to go out and catch passes. I don't think you're

798
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: really gonna get that with Gassicky because that is not

799
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 1: his his strong point. So maybe we see him out

800
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: in more rounds and maybe they move him around because

801
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: we know they want to get the ball to Jalen Waddle.

802
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 1: I think that pass catching group is still kind of

803
00:40:29,280 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: wide open after that, Um, you know, not knowing what's

804
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 1: gonna happen with guys like DeVante Parker and what have you. So, uh, yeah,

805
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: I think I like that. I think I think, all right,

806
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: so we've locked hm up. Gasicky, you're staying home. I

807
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: understand you're staying You're staying in Miami. There, all right.

808
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: So the last one, and I really debated putting him

809
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: on the list at all, but I felt like I

810
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: felt like he deserves one more shot, which is probably

811
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: two extra shots too many based on what has happened

812
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: the last a few years. But Evan Ingram, who is

813
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: still chasing the high of that rookie season oh so

814
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 1: many years ago, uh set to be a free agent.

815
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the Giants are going to want to

816
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: continue to try to make it work with him. Um,

817
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: so he is out on the open market again. His

818
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: first year sixty four catches, seven two yards and six touchdowns.

819
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 1: He hasn't really done anything like that since. Um, where

820
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: where does he go? Where? Where does Evan Ingram fit

821
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: if at all this year. Uh. Yeah, He's the one

822
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 1: that I've been sucked in on more times than I

823
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: say to admit, because you see him. You watch this

824
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: guy play and you're like, he's a big athletic tight end,

825
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 1: Like he should be able to build off that rookie year,

826
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: and every year there's an excuse why it didn't happen.

827
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: I do think he needs a fresh start. And the

828
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,959
Speaker 1: idea I had was the Chargers. You put him there

829
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: on a team that has Austin Ekeler, Keenan Allen, potentially

830
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: Mike Williams or if they if he walks a Mike

831
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 1: Williams replacement, Evan Ingram then becomes like the third or

832
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: fourth option in the passing game. Uh. He becomes one

833
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: that defenses aren't focusing in on. Uh. And we saw

834
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 1: Jared Cook, I mean, like old Jared Cook this year

835
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,879
Speaker 1: still have flashes because it's easy to have success when

836
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: the defense is worried about everyone else around you and

837
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: you're just kind of that afterthought. So if Evan Ingram

838
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: was able to play in that role, I think he

839
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: could still have a strong season. I'm done saying he's

840
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: going to be a fantasy tight end there. But I

841
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: think if he goes somewhere like the Chargers high end

842
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 1: fantasy tight end two for sure, Yeah, I mean I

843
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 1: think I think the Chargers works because they won't need

844
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 1: him to be the primary pass catcher right that that

845
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: they can go to other guys uh and have it

846
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: sort of it have him kind of fade into the

847
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: background a little bit and some plays there. That's not

848
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 1: a bad one. I think a similar situation um would

849
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: be Seattle, right where you've got a couple of guys

850
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: in DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett who are going to

851
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: be the primary pass catchers. Now, I think part of

852
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,280
Speaker 1: the Seattle situation could hinge on what Russell Wilson's future

853
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: is with the team. If Wilson's not there, then kind

854
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: of all bets are off. Who knows what really happens.

855
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: But you know, in Seattle they would be able to

856
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: use him as a third option in the passing game.

857
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: And the one thing about the Seahawks they like using

858
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 1: their tight ends, especially down in the red zone, down

859
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: near the goal line. So even if he doesn't catch

860
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: a ton of passes, uh, maybe he gets some renewed

861
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: touchdown upside there. But again, I think a lot of

862
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: that is contingent on on Russell Wilson sticking around and um, yeah,

863
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you. I don't think anybody really is

864
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: going to buy into him being a tight end one anymore. Um,

865
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: if you are of the mind to draft two tight ends,

866
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: I guess you'd take a late on draft flyer on him.

867
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: But more than likely he just he seems sort of

868
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,200
Speaker 1: like waiver wire fodder. Uh. Next year, I don't know,

869
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: that's just me. He'll be He'll be one of those

870
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: tight ends that like six different people in your league

871
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 1: start throughout the year exactly he has. He's that guy that,

872
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,319
Speaker 1: like you know, he'll end up he'll end up in

873
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 1: your waiver wire column like for like a month straight, um,

874
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 1: and you'll be like, yeah, sure, if you want, you can,

875
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 1: you can pick up Evan Ingram sort of thing. Yeah,

876
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 1: So that'll be and then like rank will be like

877
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: besmirching me for talking about one week and that that'll

878
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: exactly who was it was? Ricky Seals Jones was that

879
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,520
Speaker 1: guy in this past? Yeah? Yeah, I think I had

880
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: him in the sleeper column more times than I can

881
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: count because the matchup always seemed good and I was

882
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 1: always hoping like, hey, this is the week, maybe he

883
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,520
Speaker 1: catches a touchdown and like yeah, so, um so, welcome

884
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: to that life, Evan Ingram. I never thought we'd be

885
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 1: talking about you there, so um well I did. As

886
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: I mentioned that, I have a chance of talk to

887
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson briefly at Pro Bowl practice, and look side

888
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: note to this, Um, dude was great. He was hilarious,

889
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: a lot of fun to talk to. And when I

890
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: say he signed literally every autograph he could, that is

891
00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: not an exaggeration. He stayed long after practice. He went

892
00:45:17,560 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 1: kind of outside the ropes, outside the barriers and just

893
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 1: down the row of the stands and literally anyone who

894
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: handed him something he signed it and handed it back.

895
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: It was amazing to watch. Uh. You know, if you

896
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: weren't a fan of Justin Jefferson before that, just watching

897
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: him sort of interact with the fans and and communicate

898
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: with people, uh, it's hard to not be a fan

899
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: of that guy. Afterwards, So I had a chance to

900
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: talk to him about some of his early career success

901
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 1: uh and a little bit of his connection and his

902
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: friendship with Jamar Chase. Will take a listen to that. Uh.

903
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: So two years to Pro Bowls. Congratulations on that. Uh,

904
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: what does it mean to you so early into your

905
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: career to have your name alongside guys like Randy Moss.

906
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: It's It's crazy. Honestly, I'm honestly blessed to be in

907
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 1: this situation. Uh, playing for the Vikings. Uh, you know,

908
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: having a record last year, so a lot of things

909
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 1: has been going in my favorite But I just gotta

910
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:14,799
Speaker 1: keep working and keep pushing. This only my second year.

911
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: Talking about having the record, What was it like watching

912
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 1: your old college teammate break your rookie record? Man, I

913
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: hate it. I hated it, but a little it at

914
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,360
Speaker 1: the same time. You know, it's always love between me

915
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: and him and Joe. Um, I mean, we have so

00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 1: in the success we have, we're always rooting for each other.

918
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 1: And I'm definitely rooting for him in a Super Bowl.

919
00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: All right. I went to a quick three and that

920
00:46:36,239 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: with you, just kind of three random questions, just kind

921
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: of fun, fun stuff for you. Um, if you're gonna

922
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 1: play another pro sport, what would it be basketball? All right?

923
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 1: What's your favorite holiday Christmas gifts? All right? Is there

924
00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: one food after that? You will not eat under any circumstance. Oh,

925
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: raw tuna. I would never do it, never do it.

926
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 1: I tried it one time. I'll never do it again,

927
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: all right and laughing for for folks are who played fantasy?

928
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: Why should folks draft you in fantasy next year? Look

929
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: at the last season. That's all I gotta say. Sixteen hunter,

930
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: we're good. Whatever team on more, we're straight. So make

931
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:21,440
Speaker 1: sure y'all caught me early, early in the draft, early early,

932
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: so we're good. All right. Who gets to two thousand

933
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: first in the season? You're jamar me? What you me?

934
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 1: Me me? And I'm gonna go tell it to him

935
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: today too, well after we finish. Yeah, I'm gonna get

936
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 1: to two thousand before you do. I appreciate it, man, Thanks,

937
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: Let take care. Okay. So now I asked him who

938
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,399
Speaker 1: gets to two thousand yards in the season first? Him

939
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: or Jamar Chase. He obviously, no surprise, said it was

940
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: going to be him. I will ask you, as a

941
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: neutral observer, to who do you think, if one of

942
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: these guys is gonna get to two thousand receiving yards

943
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: in a season, which one do you think does it first?

944
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 1: I I'm gonna go with Chase just because he's got

945
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 1: the longevity of playing with Joe Burrow for probably the

946
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 1: next decade or so. But man, Justin Jefferson has a

947
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,719
Speaker 1: legit shot this year. The play caller who just had

948
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,880
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup get this historic season is now going to

949
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: be drawn up plays for Justin Jefferson. He still has

950
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: his veteran quarterback there, so maybe he does it this year.

951
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 1: He still has his veteran quarterback there. And look, Adam

952
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: Feeling one year older. Uh, you know, I think one

953
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: one step closer to you know, the end of his career.

954
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:36,719
Speaker 1: So maybe that means a little more love, a little

955
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: more opportunity for Justin Jefferson. Um, I think if there's

956
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: going to be I think if there's a year to

957
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: do it, it's probably this year. But I think I

958
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: think the long term opportunity, You're right, it's probably with

959
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase because who knows what happens with Kirk Cousins

960
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: and what that does for that offense. Meanwhile, we know

961
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: Chase and Burrow are primed to be together for a

962
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 1: long time, so it very well could be him. But um, yeah,

963
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 1: but thanks to Justin Jefferson for combining and chatting with

964
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: us for a few minutes. That was That was a

965
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 1: whole lot of fun. So um yeah, man, we're we're

966
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,400
Speaker 1: getting the combine time. I think we're gonna try to

967
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: talk some combine next week, and that means we gotta

968
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: get the gotta get our Palmatal Katta back on the show. Uh.

969
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: You know, he is one of our our go twos

970
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: where it comes to scouting and prospects and Dynasty and

971
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: all that stuff. I know, you Dynasty folks are out

972
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: there and you are, you're chomping at the bit. I

973
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: see your tweets, see you're I see you're constantly trying

974
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 1: to trade guys that I would hold on too. But

975
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: that's just because I'm not a Dynasty fanatic quite like that.

976
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,040
Speaker 1: So uh, we'll start diving into that very very very soon.

977
