44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: gonna give a fan leak update. I know the fans

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: are pretty excited. But I've been get a lot of tweets,

46
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: we got stuff, so it's good. I'm excited about that.

47
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: But but let's start with our tep pipelines. The camera

48
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: highlights in the world of sports, breaking, breaking news, breaking,

49
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: continue to follow, breaking news news. Has your wife all right?

50
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: I want to start in Cleveland. Josh Gordon reinstated, but

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: four game suspension off the top, Um, Matt Harmon, you

52
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: wrote an interesting piece on the fantasy value of Josh Gordon.

53
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: Do you want to give the folks kind of a

54
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, a quick summary of what your thoughts are

55
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: on where Josh Gork should be taken. Oh wait, that

56
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: was a really good piece. But I think we need

57
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: to go to somebody else in the room first. Yeah,

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: who's had some strong feeling about Josh Gordon. But how

59
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: about Josh Gordon Doll. We have to talk about it now.

60
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: We have to, we have to talk about it. Can

61
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: no longer avoid him. Marcus Grant, Marcus Grant, give us

62
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: your two sentenced thoughts before we start talking about it.

63
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, Doe. Josh Gordon is back. I'm not drafted him. Okay, Well,

64
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 1: it's nice of James to introduced the piece as interesting

65
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: this time, because, as I you can quote from his

66
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: Facebook post, he called it ten million percent wrong. Just

67
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: ten million percent wrong? Is that the actual number? I

68
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,119
Speaker 1: think it was either one million or ten million either way.

69
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: Either way, a lot of a lot of zeroes in

70
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: that percentage of being wrong. But he did at least

71
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 1: say but I do like the guy, which is always

72
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: how you know. But anyways, yeah, I did, so. I

73
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: did write the reaction piece to this yesterday. You can

74
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: find that on NFL dot com slash Fantasy. Yes you can, UH,

75
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 1: entitled Josh Gordon changes the Browns Fantasy Landscape. So let's

76
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: let's start with uh. Let's start with Gordon himself. Obviously,

77
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: his two thousand thirteen season was, I mean dynamic. He

78
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: was a wide receiver two overall in fantasy. He led

79
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: the NFL in receiving yards despite only playing fourteen games,

80
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: and that was with a combination of Brandon Weedon, Jason Campbell,

81
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer all taking turns failing at the quarterback position.

82
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: Basically basically a dream scenario, right essentially, But I mean

83
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: Gordon Is I called him in the piece, the carved

84
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: from stone model of the wide receiver position. He's six

85
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: threes to twenty. He's super fast. Of course, this was

86
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: him at his peak. Obviously, we've had a lot go

87
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: on since then. As Marcus points out, it's been twenty

88
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: two twenty two months. Time he steps on the field

89
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: in Week five or whatever, it will have been twenty

90
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: two months since he last caught an NFL Foot's not

91
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: an insignificant amount of time, it is not. But and

92
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: even last we saw him, that was not the t

93
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: thirteen season. It was the tail end of fourteen, when

94
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,239
Speaker 1: he caught just fifty percent of his targets, averaged only

95
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: sixty yards per game, and there were reports surfacing that

96
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: he was both out of shape and struggling to pick

97
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: up the offense. So as Co and Marcus are really

98
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: hammering in on here. There's a lot of potential downside

99
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: to owning Josh Gordon. However, I think that when he

100
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: does play, he'll be no worse than a wide receiver three.

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: And if you sink a five to a fifth to

102
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: six seventh round pick in him, I think you're fine

103
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: because also he does have the individual upside of a

104
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver one. The question is whether he's gonna get

105
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: the volume to make that happen, because when he was

106
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: on that dominant two thousand thirteen stretch, he had a

107
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: twenty seven percent share of the Brown's targets, and that

108
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: was with Jordan Cameron and Greg Little checking in at

109
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: seventeen and thirtcent respectively. The Brown's offense is better now

110
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: than it was in two thousand thirteen. Uh, regardless of

111
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: what you think about the quarterback position. They sunk a

112
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: first round pick into Corey Coleman, who we were all

113
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: really excited about. They have a great pass catching back

114
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: in Duke Johnson, and Gary Barnett had a legitimate breakout

115
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 1: season last year. So you know, I think that you

116
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: can take Josh Gordon in that fifth to seventh round range. However,

117
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: and I think this is something really important that we

118
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: don't discuss enough in fantasy is you have to insulate

119
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: him with other players, Like if you were taking I know,

120
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: like the Mock Yesterday franchise and Gelhard. I think you

121
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: guys took you know, heavy running back approaches or you

122
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: have in the box. You can't take Gordon if you're

123
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: taking early running backs. You have to take him if

124
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: you're taking him on a wide receiver heavy team where

125
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: you insulated him as your wide receiver for and then

126
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: you have access to the upside, but not necessarily the

127
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: risk of the floor. So I ranted a lot here,

128
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: somebody else, please I'll jump in because I think what

129
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: else is interesting with Gordon's arrival is that it, as

130
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: you mentioned in the headline, it changed the landscape because

131
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people were targeting Corey Coleman in the

132
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: middle rounds assuming you know he was going to fall

133
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: into a ton of volume there. Now, I mean he

134
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: was set on paper at least to be the number one, right,

135
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: and so now we have to factor in Gordon when

136
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: we're looking at this whole offense and where we project

137
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: Barnage and where we project Coleman and even Duke Johnson.

138
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: As you said, all those guys had like pretty big

139
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: pieces of the passing pie there last year, and that's

140
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: all gonna have to even out now with a big

141
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: potential target hog like Cordon in the mix. So I

142
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: think while it's exciting to have a player of his

143
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: caliber back, we have to kind of knock all those

144
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: guys down just just a tiny touch because the volume

145
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: might not be where it was at where we thought

146
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: it was going to be earlier this offseason. And and Harmon,

147
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: you touched on that in your piece as well, And

148
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: that's the part of the article that you know that

149
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: I've found in lightning right, because it's like, all right,

150
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't really think about, you know, how

151
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: this would impact a guy like Corey Coleman or a

152
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: guy like Gary Barnage. But I I need to get

153
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: back to your draft grade on this guy. And this

154
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: is why you're a ten million or a hundred million

155
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: or one quadrillion percent wrong. There's no chance, a zero

156
00:07:55,480 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: percent chance Josh Gordon returns value anywhere between the fifth

157
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 1: and seventh round, you remember, scares the hell out of

158
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: There's no way, even if even if everything goes right,

159
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: he's in shape, he's focused on football. Which again questionable, questionable. Um,

160
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: he's got a brand new quarterback, of brand new playbook.

161
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: There's just so many things working against Josh Gordon, even

162
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: if everything goes right. You're telling me that he's going

163
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: to outperform guys like Doug Baldwin, Jeremy Macklin, Michael Floyd,

164
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: Dante mont Crief. These are guys that are going in

165
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: that fifth wide receivers that are going in that fifth

166
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: and seventh ra and round seventh round range. I cannot

167
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: see myself telling people, you know what, go get Josh Gordon.

168
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: In said again in Dante Moncrief, Go get Josh Gordon

169
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: instead of getting Eric Decker. And he's he's four games

170
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: to plus plus a bye week plus in the in

171
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Two they have a bye week in the playoffs. Yes,

172
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: there is no playoffs. Uh, no chance in hell. So

173
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: I've probably personally wouldn't take him the fifth round, but

174
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm saying that there're somebody people there definitely will. Pe

175
00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: you're looking at that fifth round range like Macklin, Baldwin,

176
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: Floyd Moncrief. I take all those guys over him. I

177
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: even put in the article that if you look at

178
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: my tiered rankings after tier four is when I start

179
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: to consider Josh Gordon. When you get to the sixth round,

180
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 1: like Emmanuel Sanders, Larry Fitzgerald, Jordan Matthews, DeVante Parker, John Brown,

181
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: and Tyler lockt Er in the seventh round on the

182
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: ADP I'm looking at, but I would take those guys

183
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: over Josh Gordon. I'm looking at I'm going to fantasy

184
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: football calcular alright, I'm looking at Kevin White in the

185
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: in the ninth round. Yeah, I'd rather have him. Give

186
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: me Marvin Jones and the tenth give me him, give

187
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: me Sterling Shepard in the tenth, I'll take him. That's

188
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: when it starts to get Okay. Now, now I'm starting

189
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: to compare guys where I'm in that Josh Gordon range

190
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: in that tenth round, and if you, if I want

191
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: to quote unquote reach, I'll reach form in the tenth

192
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: because I think the the upside is there. But my god,

193
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: there is no chance in hell I'm even thinking about

194
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: this dude in the fifth sixth step. The only thing

195
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: I will say is that sometimes in fantasy you have

196
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: to take calculated risks, you know, in order to be

197
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 1: like either way I play I'm either gonna get first,

198
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get last. I don't really care about finishing second, third, fourth,

199
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: or fifth. That doesn't do anything for me at the

200
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: end of the day. So yeah, I mean that's the

201
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: way I'm gonna play. But you have to be smart

202
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: and like I said, calculated and how you do these things. Again,

203
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: it's all about how you draft your team. If you've

204
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 1: taken three wide receivers early and then in the sixth round,

205
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: Josh Gordons still sitting there, he can be that unfair

206
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: weekly advantage for you if he hits that ceiling and

207
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: you're also insulated from the floor. It's all about or

208
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: he can be that albatross that you know you end

209
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: up dropping in Week seven. Yeah, but so who can

210
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: But then who cares? Well, No, because it matters because

211
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: because at that point you had him, he's taken up

212
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: a roster space for you forever. See that. And there's

213
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: so many guys off the waiver wire. And that's how

214
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: fantasy football is, right. I Mean, it's fun to talk

215
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 1: about the draft, but man, you make your money on

216
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 1: the waiver wire as well, I think, I mean, the

217
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: waiver wire is just as important as your draft agree

218
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: with you, um, and so like this is a unique

219
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: situation only because we know, like we have real physical evidence.

220
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: We've seen it happen of this guy being the number

221
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: one fantasy receiver. I mean he was the number two,

222
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: but he missed two games, So I mean, yeah, we

223
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: have legitimate evidence of that upside, you know, I disagree

224
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: with and like I tease the piece I'm gonna write

225
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: soon about like this idea of this all suspension team

226
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: of taking Levy on Bell Tom Broke awful. That's an

227
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: awful I just said that I only focused on finishing

228
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: first or last. That's that's the way. That's a sure

229
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 1: fire way to finish like fifth. Yeah, to finish fifth

230
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: and look like just a jackass doing it too. Yeah,

231
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:47,439
Speaker 1: it was so great. I got home last night. Harmon

232
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: was fired up about this. He was like, can we

233
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: talk about something? For a second, I thought it was

234
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 1: gonna be something like real is like, yeah, man, what's

235
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: going on? He's like this all suspension team things like

236
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: it's been making me mad all day and I haven't

237
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: had any way to talk about it with because Charlie

238
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: won't talk about these things with me. All Right, we're

239
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: speaking of the all suspension teams. We should just get

240
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: into Levian Bel here, who was facing a four game suspension.

241
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: He claimed on Instagram. I think that he's not gonna

242
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: miss any time. But he's gonna miss no time but

243
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: zero games. We know how this works. We've seen this

244
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: game playout before. The commission has to say about that,

245
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: so we're not exactly sure. Look, he's got to go

246
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: talk to Roger all right, and um, you know he's

247
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: gonna appeal his case clearly, but at the end of

248
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: the day, Roger Goodell has the final say as to

249
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: whether or not he's gonna uphold those four games. Um,

250
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: maybe it gets knocked down to two. Who knows, Um,

251
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: maybe it gets knocked down to zero. Maybe it's just

252
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: a giant miss communication because again, Levian Bell didn't necessarily

253
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: fail a drug test. He's being suspended four games because

254
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: he missed a number multiple drug tests. But again he

255
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: did not fail a drug test. Um. So there's Levian

256
00:12:54,880 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: Bell on Instagram saying, Hey, listen, I'm gonna miss zero games. Uh,

257
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure. Yeah, I'm

258
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: not really buying that. I mean, the whole just not

259
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: showing up for the tests. Seems shady, shady, dubious bad

260
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: um pick one of those, so I think, Um, unfortunately,

261
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 1: he really has the deck stacked against him. Um. You know,

262
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: and so I've seen obviously he's falling in draft right now,

263
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: and he falling very far. He's not going very far, um,

264
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: which I think I think speaks to the lack of

265
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: depth at the running back position. That a guy who

266
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: is going to miss the first potentially miss the first

267
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: four games of the season is still a second round

268
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: guy by the time you hear this. Something may change.

269
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: But as of right now nine o'clock Pacific time on Tuesday,

270
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: Levy and bell Uh again is facing a four game suspension. Um.

271
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: We mentioned that he's not going too far down in drafts.

272
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: He looks like he's most folks are taking him in.

273
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: It's in that second round range, anywhere between the early

274
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: second the late second. But he's absolutely getting picked up

275
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,599
Speaker 1: by the end of the second round. I don't necessarily

276
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: know if he is going to miss four games. I

277
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: don't necessarily know if I if I buy that, but

278
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Whiz what do you what are your take? Uh,

279
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: what's your take on bell on? But well, I mean

280
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna he's gonna go into second or third round

281
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: because we know what an elite player he is and

282
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: how important he is to that Pittsburgh offense. Thanks to

283
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: the you know crack team NFL research team we have

284
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: here NFL media uh s with Levan Bell's ranked first

285
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: and touches a game, first in scrimmage yards per game,

286
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: second and rushing yards per game, and first in receiving

287
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: yards per game among running backs, and the Pittsburgh offense

288
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: with him is significantly. It's a more efficient offense. They

289
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: get average more yards per game where arts for rush,

290
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: no surprise, and they win. Their winning percentage is huge.

291
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: So you know, I was gonna ask, do you do

292
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: you think we're not putting enough emphasis on all these

293
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: suspensions for the Steelers in regards to someone like Ben Roethlisburg.

294
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: We're We're not at all. No, it's a good point.

295
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: Harmon and I have talked about this offline before, but

296
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: it definitely has to drop him down because Martavis Bryant,

297
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: first of all, was kind of the key that unlocked

298
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: that offense back in the day. That was when they

299
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: soared to scoring over thirty points per game on average

300
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: when he was there, so he's gone, and now the

301
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: bell is gonna be missing four weeks. This is this

302
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: offense has lost a lot of its teeth. Now. The

303
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: average twenty nine point two points or twenty nine point

304
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: three points per game with Bard Tavis Bryant, the average

305
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: twenty two point two without. It's a whole touchdown. That

306
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: touchdown difference. It's a big number. Yeah, I mean, I don't,

307
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: I can't. I get hot takes later, but this isn't

308
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: one of my hot takes. I think this is just

309
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: a real take. I don't think you can take I

310
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,119
Speaker 1: don't think you can take Ben Rock like he's untouchable

311
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: at his ADP. I wouldn't surprise me if it finishes

312
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: outside of the top ten, because where's she going now,

313
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: like seventh round, round, fifth round. That's we're not taking,

314
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: not taking any of the the evidence into account. He's

315
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: going right on NFL dot Com and look, people, wasn't

316
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: clean it up, clean it up. Okay, he's going at

317
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: the same spot essentially as Tom Brady. Yeah, both in

318
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: the fifth round. Get him, get him both out of there.

319
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 1: I come on, people, you're better than this. Even if

320
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: even if Roethlisberger was gonna just play at his at

321
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: his career average with Martavis Bryan. He's still been a

322
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: volatile performer last was he was last year and some

323
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: frightening home and road splits to um, he's a very

324
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: different quarterback. The last thing I think we should mention

325
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: on this is the D'Angel Williams effect now because his stock,

326
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: like it are not skyrockets. First, what is he like

327
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: a thirty three year old running back? Now? Uh, he's

328
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: like what he's he gets four great weeks and then

329
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: there's you know where he's gonna be the RB one

330
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: for that team. And then there's a chance that, as

331
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: they've already mentioned, he's deployed in more two back sets.

332
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: Levan Bells seventh round pick, sixth round pick. What do

333
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: we feel I like him in the sixth round? Yeah?

334
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 1: I really do. Um we I think we put too

335
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: much emphasis sometimes in regards to how what their total

336
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: output will be. But you know, season long, fantasy man,

337
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: you gotta win. You gotta win week to week. And

338
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: I love having a game changer like that in the

339
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: first four weeks of a season and picking him up

340
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: in the sixth round. Yes, sir, sign me up. I'll

341
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: take that all day. Um, you know the one thing

342
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: that I'll also say about this, and I know we're

343
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: going a little long on this whole Steelers chat, but um,

344
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: who's the third running back? There? Fits Tusson, So Jordan

345
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: Todman no longer with the team. If you think about

346
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: how volatile and how injury ridden the running back position is,

347
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: and again we're talking about a thirty three year old

348
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 1: running back in D'angela Williams. Tell me there's not a

349
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: great chance that he breaks down some at some point

350
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: during those first four weeks, especially if they're giving him

351
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 1: a crazy workload, like a of the Snaps workload. Right, So,

352
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: like to me, I think fits Toussan is an excellent

353
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: deep sleeper, a dart throw that you could take in

354
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: the round. Why not? All right, let's move on. Let's

355
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: go to Tampa Bay. James Winson as a report of

356
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: the last twenty pounds this offseason. Um, I'm hearing a

357
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: lot of reports about him just I mean, just being

358
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: a football freak, uh, really diving into the waiting room,

359
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: really diving into the playbook. Um, obviously they've got Dirk

360
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: Cutter there, and now, um, you know, pretty much the

361
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 1: same offensive system that they're going to be running that

362
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: they ran last year, so that's gay. He got the

363
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: bump up from O. C Ahead. That's because they wanted

364
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: that consistency with Jamis and I think that's great. Um.

365
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: I love hearing the fact that he's really diving in

366
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 1: into the whole conditioning because what we saw last year

367
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: was Okay, Wison not necessarily in the best shape of

368
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: his life, but he played well in the In the

369
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: article on that our A T n UH colleagues whipped up,

370
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 1: there's actually an Instagram post I think it was from

371
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: Winston's trainer that had side by shots of Winston from

372
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 1: Gruden's QB camp on ESPN, which was that infamous shot

373
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: where he was just in shorts out on the field

374
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: and he had like a dad gut hanging over his

375
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: shorts there, which was not a great sign. But it's

376
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 1: side by side with him now and there's like there's

377
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 1: some definition. It's like a little six package showing through

378
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: at almost Okay, now I've been I'm I'm a fan

379
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: of Winston this year as as a late round quarterback option,

380
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 1: especially in bigger leagues, and I think with the the

381
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 1: improvement of the rapport between him and Mike Evans. You've

382
00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: still got Vincent Jackson there. Charles Sims is an elite

383
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: past catching back. It wouldn't surprise me if Winston Winston

384
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: creeped up towards that back end of the the QB

385
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: one range. You know, I'll tell you what, if you

386
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: wanted to gamble um on quarterback this year, right in

387
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: the not that we do that, we can't say that

388
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 1: you were if he wanted to take a risk on quarterback.

389
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: If you want to take a risk a quarterback late

390
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: in your draft this year and you're in one of

391
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: those standards, you know, ten team leagues, tell me a

392
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston Marcus Mariota combination in round is not just

393
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: a possible and be not a bad combination. You know.

394
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 1: The interesting thing about Winston is like he actually had

395
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: a really safe floor as a rookie. Like it was

396
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: more he wasn't much of a ceiling play only went

397
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: over twenty points twice, but he never dip below twelve points.

398
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: He was pretty stable that way. He seemed like he

399
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: threw interceptions and bunches, but he had a below three

400
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: percent interception rate and a lot of them came early

401
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: in the year. Yeah, he cleaned it up about midway

402
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: through the season. Yeah, definitely. I mean there was still

403
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 1: some in the back half, but like those bunch games

404
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: like the four against Carolina, and it was first game

405
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: against it was pretty it was pretty rough. Uh So

406
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: he definitely cleaned it up. He got better. And the

407
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 1: big thing is gonna be touchdown progression from Mike Evans.

408
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: Uh we're gonna talk about Mike Evans with with Davis Maddock.

409
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: I believe that's one of his players. But you know,

410
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: he caught. He caught a touchdown only four percent of

411
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: his receptions last year and eight percent as a rookie.

412
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: That's gonna even out somewhere in the middle, and if

413
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: that progresses, Winston could have more of a ceiling. Winston

414
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: also had six rushing touchdowns last year, which his finishing

415
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,479
Speaker 1: fantasy that that'll probably go down, but I think if

416
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: he can get his interceptions down he had fifteen last year.

417
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: I mean, for even for Winston, the way that the

418
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: offense is designed isn't for rushing touchdowns. Absolutely, not just possible,

419
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 1: but probable. Yeah, thinks so absolutely. He's he's a he's

420
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: a decent scramble artist and losing the weight will certainly

421
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: help him there because he's he's a big He's a

422
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: big guy too. There was a great play. I forget

423
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 1: who it was against. It might have been against Washington

424
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: where he like or maybe Atlanta where he like actually

425
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: like trucked some people. He like. It looked at a

426
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: running back play. He like ran into the pile and

427
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: then bounce and spun off of it and picked up

428
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: a critical first down. So it's it's he's a lot

429
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 1: like a younger Ben Roethlisberger. Yeah, that that comparison has

430
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: been thrown around a bit, all right. How about J J. Watt? There?

431
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: And Houston had a surgery on hernie a, a a disc

432
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: in his back. That is bad news. He says he's

433
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,719
Speaker 1: gonna be back, um just around week one. He might

434
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: miss the start of the season. We'll see. I don't

435
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: know the timeline for his return is anywhere between. I

436
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 1: think six to ten weeks. Um. Eight weeks is kind

437
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 1: of what they're projecting right now for J. J. Watt.

438
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: But let's say it's ten. He missed the first couple

439
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: of weeks of the season. Um, it's very rare we

440
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: talk about a defensive player in fantasy. But I tell

441
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: you what man. J. J. Watt is one of those

442
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: dudes we have to It was as I was building

443
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: the rundown, I was like, I was like, we have

444
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: to mention what because he meant as he said, it's

445
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: very rare. But he's the kind of player that not

446
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: only will impact their their fantasy defense with how dominant

447
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: he is, but his absence, if it's for any sort

448
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 1: of games, could have an impact on the Houston offense.

449
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: So harmon, you want to especially because he's not gonna

450
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 1: be there to catch touchdowns zone. We've talked a lot

451
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: about the Houston offense recently. You want to you want

452
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 1: to jump on this one first and how this might,

453
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: if at all, impact their players in the first couple

454
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: of weeks. Yeah, of course, like a idiot I wrote,

455
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: I wrote overvalued column on DeAndre Hopkins, which people, oddly

456
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: for some reason didn't seem to agree with me and

457
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: weren't very nice about it, apparently figuring I'd could shock

458
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: by that. But and the whole premise of it was

459
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: that when the defense improved in the second half of

460
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: the season, DeAndre Hopkins dropped back from being the wide

461
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: receiver two overall to the wide receiver twelve overall in

462
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: the second half of the year, and I mean it

463
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: was a clear shift in philosophy to more of a defensive,

464
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: run oriented team. And of course, like that afternoon I

465
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,360
Speaker 1: published that J. J. Watt this he comes out, It's like, oh,

466
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: that really does kind of change things. So I did

467
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: go back a little amendum in there that like if

468
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: what is out that could change the game scripts pretty

469
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: heavily and give some of that volume back to Hopkins.

470
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,719
Speaker 1: That elevated him. So I still think he's a little

471
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: overdrafted as the clear wide receiver for but I mean

472
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 1: he's he's fine as like a turn pick in the

473
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: first second round. I loved picking him up in our

474
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: twelve teamer uh at the number ten pick. I felt

475
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: like I gotta steel. I loved it. Um. But yeah, man,

476
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, for me, I just think again, does it

477
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: impact somebody like brock Oswelder. Does it give him a

478
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a boost up, because again, you start

479
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: thinking about negative game scraps, you start start thinking about

480
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: more of a shootout, and plus what's the mental factor

481
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: on the Houston defense right because they missed your Davian Clowney.

482
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: Now it's J. J. Watt who's a clear cut leader

483
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: for that defensive unit. How much more does that defensive

484
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: unit slide, not just from a personnel standpoint, but even

485
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: from a mental standpoint. To me, I think, I think

486
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: this is a team that's in big time trouble from

487
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,439
Speaker 1: a defensive stamp. I mean, let's preserve judgment until we

488
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: figure out exactly how long he's going to be out. Um,

489
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, I know that back injuries are always tricky.

490
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: It's into linger. Oh yeah, for a guy that does

491
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: the type of stuff he does, right, But I until

492
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: sery too, until yeah, Lindsay vonn told us all about that. Um,

493
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: until we get some better exactly like how how long

494
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out? That that I think we'll have

495
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: a lot to do with what happens with the Texans defense.

496
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 1: I mean coming in with with a healthy J. J. Watt.

497
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean I liked them as a top five fantasy

498
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: defense this year. But you know, if it looks like

499
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna be out any extended period of time, or

500
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: if he's just not the same J. J. Wattle. Though again,

501
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: of J. J. Watt is better than a percent of

502
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: a lot of others. Yeah, I will say to it's

503
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: not like it was J. J. Watton a bunch of scrubs.

504
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: This is a defense with a lot of talented people's

505
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: jade and clowney. Despite the first overall pick pedigree, he

506
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: and like people think he's been a disappointment, he was

507
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: very good when he was on the field last year.

508
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,239
Speaker 1: They've got a good deal. They've got a really good

509
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: front seven, They've got some nice pieces in the secondary.

510
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: What might present itself this defense could be valuable or

511
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: they actually might even be like on the waiver wire

512
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 1: in in some leagues after if J. J. Watt misses

513
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, the pounds on him a week

514
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: early because their first couple of games. So they have

515
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: the Bears, the Chiefs, then they get a Tom Brady

516
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: less Patriots, and then the Titans, which we all we

517
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: all like Marks Marriot and some of the pieces there.

518
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: But that's not exactly a dominant offense or one that's

519
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: gonna strike fear into the hearts of a of a J. J.

520
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: Watt returning Texans defense. So they could be a sneaky

521
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: could pick up a couple of weeks into the season.

522
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: All right, there you go. Let's talk about the family.

523
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: Let's update people here because we've been getting a lot

524
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: of tweets again, Pummel, I love it. Alex Gillhard, You're

526
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: they join. Give us an update. I am orkstrating it.

527
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: So for those who have asked us on Twitter and others, Uh,

528
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: the best way where how we're going to get entrance

529
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 1: into the league's and they are going to be three

530
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: leagues now, because there's going to be the league with

531
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: Marcus and Me that good last year, the Beard League

532
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: that you don't have to have a beard to get

533
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: in it, with Franchise and Harmon and then I tell

534
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: you I help you. James and I discussed this off

535
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,199
Speaker 1: line and I floated this to Adam Rank before the

536
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: show and he's always he's all in on a danger

537
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: Zone league. But in order for people to get into

538
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: that league, they have to work in archer quote into

539
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: their rating a review of the podcast. So again to

540
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: get into the families like we already we already get

541
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 1: a ton of submissions. I needed take some time now

542
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: to go back and start picking through them, and maybe

543
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: on Friday we'll get a couple of people in good

544
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 1: rate and review of the podcast on on iTunes. Good bad,

545
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: otherwise whatever, Hopefully it's good. And I've got a couple

546
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 1: of questions. If you don't listen to podcasts on iTunes,

547
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,239
Speaker 1: if there's some way to rate and review it on

548
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: your other your app or whatever your platform is, do that.

549
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: Take a screenshot, send it to me on Twitter at

550
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 1: Alex Gelhar and we'll try and get you in that way.

551
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: So there will be thirty people selected for these leagues,

552
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: will start filling them up now, and we will draft.

553
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: We'll do all the drafts during Fantasy Draft Week, which

554
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna be doing from August to August six.

555
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: You've got from now until then. We'll start slowly, probably

556
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: bring in a couple of people in every episode, but

557
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 1: rate and review it on iTunes. Uh. Thirty people will

558
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: have three leagues and will draft the week of August.

559
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: It's a lot. Here we go step by step process.

560
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: All right, you're gonna go rate and review on iTunes

561

565
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: Gil Hard Grant League, the Bearded League, which again I'm

566
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: not saying, I'm just saying, if you have a profile,

567
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: pick up a beard certainly won't hurt it won't hurt

568
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: your chances, and then we'll have the danger's own league

569
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: as well. But you do need to work in an

570
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: archer quote. Yes, and you know, I mean we we

Speaker 1: nuances of my take. All right, so I guess you

609
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: You've got some interesting takes here right on, some favorites

610
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: of Matt Harmon, and I know that he doesn't necessarily

611
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 1: agree with you on all these points. But we'll start

612
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: with Tyler Lockett. What is your take on Tyler Lockett? Okay,

613
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: before I say anything, I need to make it clear.

614
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:38,239
Speaker 1: I do love Tyler Lockett. I went to college with him. Uh.

615
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: He is a slam poet. He is an amazing human being.

616
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: He's very talented. He is not a fifth round fantasy

617
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: draft pick, which is where he's currently going in MFL

618
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 1: adc S. All right, I'm going back. He's a slam poet.

619
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: I was trying to digest all Listen, you guys know

620
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: that I don't just tie on to football players that

621
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: are good at football. They also have to be unique

622
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: souls on the on the planet as well too, and

623
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: he is. He is a unique soul. He's an awesome dude.

624
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: But I cannot take him in the fifth round. Why

625
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: is that? Though? And I just I do not think

626
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: the touchdown upside is there. Like, I think a double

627
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: digit touchdown season is not really his range of outcomes

628
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,479
Speaker 1: in that offense. Oh Davis, if he if we were

629
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: talking about double digit touchdowns, I mean he's moving ahead

630
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: of the fifth round. I mean fifth round. I think

631
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: most wide receivers you're looking at, you know, anywhere between,

632
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, six to eight touchdowns I think is

633
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: probably realistic. So um, I mean the yard is the

634
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: artist potential not there either. So that's the thing is.

635
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: I think the way that that offense is kind of

636
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: constructed is that they just they don't run a ton

637
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 1: of plays, right, Um, it's not. It's not a high

638
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: volume offense at all. Now, they are radically efficient, and

639
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: I think that locketted Locket is going to have some

640
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: games that are like, you know, he has six targets

641
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: for two yards going a touchdown, that's definitely gonna happen.

642
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: I think that there's a week to week ceiling there,

643
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 1: but I think there are going to be some weeks that, um,

644
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: you know, it happens to be a Baldwin week or

645
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawl scores three times or Jimmy Graham has you know,

646
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: twelve receptions or something like that, and I just think

647
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: that week to week he's going to be a much

648
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: more volatile option than more sort of considering right now.

649
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: So I'm with you a little bit and just just

650
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: just to pull back the curtain here a little bit.

651
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: Davis and I've known each other for a long time

652
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: on on Twitter and we're hashtag pals, so this is all.

653
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: This is all just beautiful, beautiful love here. But anyways, UM,

654
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: I like Tyler lock in the fifth round of an

655
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: MFL ten better because of that week two week voluntierly

656
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: that you mentioned. It's a little different. Yeah, so I'm

657
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: more okay with it there, And I mean I might

658
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: have been part of the reason that that's happening. I'm

659
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: not sure why I would have, but I think that

660
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: I think that it's fine in the best Ball League,

661
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: especially because you know you mentioned that ceiling and that's

662
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: what's so exciting to me from a touchdown per sspective,

663
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: any artist perspective there, Well, there were several big plays

664
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,239
Speaker 1: that Wilson just mislock it on last year that I

665
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: think they're looking to connect more this year. Uh, in

666
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: more casual leagues, you know, he's still a seventh round

667
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: pick on Fantasy Football calculator, on our MFL or our

668
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com ADP. I'm sure it's even lower than that,

669
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: So I don't think you're gonna have to necessarily pay

670
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: that price unless things get crazy in the preseas. All Right,

671
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: this discussion was way too informed and way too cool. Davis.

672
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: Let's let's turn up the heat a little bit here.

673
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: Why don't you talk to us about Sammy Watkins. Sammy Watkins.

674
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: Uh So, if you look at the culative ADP of

675
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: all the sites, including the NFL dot Com game, he's

676
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: currently going off the board at wide receiver. I mean

677
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: that that you want to talk about a guy who

678
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: has no floor week to week. Sammy Watkins was like

679
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: not even averaging like seven targets the game last year,

680
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: and I just I don't understand it at all. He's hurt.

681
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: He has a foot injury, which is just a disaster

682
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: for wide receivers. I don't care if he's as he's

683
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: going to be ready for the preseason. Foot injuries are

684
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: complete disasters for wide receivers. He like and Watkins is

685
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: uniquely talented in the sense that he's not really a

686
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: red zone weapon, but once you sort of get into

687
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: like the what I think football outsiders called the green zone,

688
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: which is like the thirty five yard line, and in

689
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: I do think he is a unique weapon there. But

690
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: I think Watkins is basically a player with no floor

691
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: this year, considering the injury, considering the question marks with

692
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: the ground game like that offense could just be really

693
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: bad all year long, and paying the sprint for the

694
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: walk feels insane. Here we go here, so what's where?

695
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: Where are we doing? Floor? Where would you actually feel

696
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: comfortable taking Sammy Watkins like round So like, um, you know,

697
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: Dmarrius Thomas is going like about a full round later,

698
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin is going about a full round later, Like

699
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: I would start to look at him, so like wide

700
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: receiver twenty one in this a d P I'm looking

701
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: at is Randall Cobb and Doug Baldwin. I would take

702
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: him over of those guys. But that's about the range

703
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 1: where I'm starting to look at him, not looking at

704
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: taking him over cooked, not looking at taking him over

705
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: Mike Evans or Damarius Thomas or players like that. Yeah,

706
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: in our mock yesterday, I took him as a wide

707
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,240
Speaker 1: receiver twelve over I passed up Brandon Marshall, Brandon Cooks, Market,

708
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: all those guys are still on the board, and like,

709
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 1: looking at it now, I'm kind of like, wow, why

710
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 1: did I do that? Brandon Marshall is probably the safest

711
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 1: possible like second third round pick that there is. Yeah, yeah, alright, great,

712
00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: let's let's fire through these here. What else you have

713
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: to say about Mike Evans? This is this pro or

714
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: anti Mike Evans here, because if it's it's much like

715
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: much like my friend Matt Harman. I don't care that

716
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: his catch rate was terrible last year and then he

717
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: led football and drops. Um, he's only twenty two years old.

718
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: He's only twenty two years old and had twelve hundred

719
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 1: yards last season and is a lock locked to lead

720
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 1: his team in targets. He had a hundred and forty

721
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: eight targets in fourteen games last year. Um, I don't know.

722
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 1: I just think I just think his ceiling is like

723
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: insane in this offense. And he had terrible luck with

724
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year, Like he had twelve touchdowns as a

725
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 1: rookie on thirty less targets than he had at his

726
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: softmore season. So Mike Evans, should he be drafted as

727
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: a top ten wide receiver? Yeah, yeah, I think I

728
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: think that, like um so, I would take him over

729
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: like I think he's super comparable to al Sean Jeffrey,

730
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: who's going who's going eight picks ahead of him? I

731
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: feel like that's not a hot enough take. I mean,

732
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: is he a potentially a back in first round? Guy? Yeah,

733
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,799
Speaker 1: let's let's lets you don't have to take him there,

734
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: like just the way the ADP shakes out. But it

735
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 1: would not surprise me at all if Mike Evans is

736
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: a top ten pick next year, bake off of this

737
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: year's production. All right, all right, now I'm with him

738
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: with you on that. Uh, David Johnson positive negative? David

739
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: Johnson first pick in all four masts. Yeah, I don't

740
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of disagreement considering el Gelher and

741
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 1: I both took him at you know, one oh one

742
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: in Yeah, you know, it's not crazy. In mind, he

743
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,640
Speaker 1: somehow felled to me with the eleventh pick. I don't

744
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: know how that happened. And Davis, I didn't think he

745
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: either goes like there's either someone in your draft who

746
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: takes him first overall or he goes at the end

747
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 1: of the first round. It's insane. Yeah, all right, And

748
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: I guess before we let you go, I forge if

749
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: you had anybody else, we gotta get to Jeff Janis here,

750
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 1: he's he's your boy. Why don't you Why don't you

751
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 1: tell the listeners you guys have a special connection with

752
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: Jeff Janis. Before you you give us any takes on him,

753
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: but tell us, tell us your backstory with Janie. I mean, so,

754
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:38,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to be I don't want to be craft,

755
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: but I discovered Jeff Jannis well, like I was writing

756
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: about this dude before he got drafted. Um, he got drafted.

757
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: He actually followed me on Twitter before he got drafted. Uh,

758
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: he still does. And one of my friends who works

759
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 1: for NFL dot Com happened to run into him at

760
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl event and was like, hey, Jeff, I

761
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: know Davis Maddock. Do you know who that is? And

762
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, absolutely, And this my friend who works

763
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: for the site, was like, let's do something cool, and

764
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: he printed off my first road of his article about

765
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Janis that was entitled Jeff Janis and NFL Draft

766
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,839
Speaker 1: Love Story, and Janie signed the article and also sent

767
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: me a signed NFL football and it's just the best.

768
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: He's just the best, dude. So, what's what's your projection

769
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: for Janice this year? What's what's what's his stat line

770
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: going to be? Assuming he beats out Davante Adams and

771
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:35,280
Speaker 1: wins that number three job. Well, okay, so assuming like okay,

772
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: So there's there's two different projections you have to have

773
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: for him. One is with the idea that he just

774
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: beats out Janis for the third wide receiver job, which

775
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: I think would be the smartest thing for them to do.

776
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: And if he does, for me, it's like targets fifty

777
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: yards and six touchdowns. I love that. I love that.

778
00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 1: That's that's if he wins the job. If he if

779
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,080
Speaker 1: he makes the team as a special teams guy I

780
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: kick and punt returner, and then they have to wait

781
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: for Adams to show how bad he is, then it's

782
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: probably more like fifty targets, four yards, four touchdown. That

783
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: would make me sad. But you know, if you get

784
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 1: that production, like if you pick him up off the

785
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: waiver wire, yeah, absolutely, it could be a season saver.

786
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely if you get that kind of production the last

787
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, five weeks of the season from the from

788
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: the flex position. That's not bad at all. You'll take

789
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: that because you're gonna know, you're gonna know when to

790
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: start it, Like we're gonna know ahead of time if

791
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: he's going to be playing or not. Awesome, Well, Davis,

Speaker 1: your Geno Smith hot take Gino Smith, book it, mark

814
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: it down. He will be a top ten fantasy quarterback. Wow,

815
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 1: I only went top fifteen with my takes. Man. Not

816
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: hot enough, man, He's got too great wide receivers in

817
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker the goat confirmed and now

818
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 1: on top of it, he's had a year to kind

819
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 1: of sit on the sidelines and watch and learn and

820
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: you know, kind of study at the feet of of

821
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. Um. You know I think this, see Jason

822
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: Morrow kind of become a thing Smith, Devin Smith. Gino

823
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: Smith will go next level and he will be a

824
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: QB one, a top ten guy who I know we

825
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: laugh about this, but the last time we saw him play,

826
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:17,920
Speaker 1: he didn't play bad, put up twenty Fantasy points against

827
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: the writers. That's what well, okay, so I mean it's

828
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: sick it happened, Gino Smith. You guys listen it's a

829
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,240
Speaker 1: it's a really great offensive system for passing success. You know, again,

830
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,839
Speaker 1: it wouldn't It would be ridiculous if it was this

831
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,359
Speaker 1: time last offseason and we were like, hey, Ryan Fitzpatrick's

832
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: going to be a quarterback one and that's right, you know,

833
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 1: so crazier things have happened, all right, Matt Harmon, give

834
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: me your Cleveland Browns hot take. I don't have an

835
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: you do, I know, well, I mean I'm talking about

836
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: in the newsrooms. You said, okay, but that's not one

837
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: of my hot takes for day. But I do legitimate,

838
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: like I actually legitimately think this offense is really underrated.

839
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 1: Now at this point, man, I was getting excited excited

840
00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: about it before Gordon even came back, and like I

841
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: was starting to boy drink that he Jackson coolid And

842
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: now he's there, Like who knows how to maximize talent

843
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: and he's got a lot of time, He's got a

844
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: lot of talent to work with. Just like again, if

845
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: everything hits, he's got Josh Gordon legendary wide receiver talent.

846
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: Despite just this just reinforces my idea that if I'm

847
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: ever looking for a job and need a letter of recommendation.

848
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm getting Hugh Jackson to write it, like you can

849
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: get people to buy into anything. Legendary Corey Coleman, stud

850
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 1: talent wide receiver Gary Barnage. Uh, the goat, the greatest

851
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: tight end of all time. And I'm just kidding, but

852
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: that's Duke Johnson at worst, great pass catching back. They've

853
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: got r G three, you know, if he if he

854
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: can recover, if Hugh can get him back there. I mean,

855
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: this could actually be a good offense. But that's not

856
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: one of my hot taps. Okay, let me give Let

857
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,520
Speaker 1: me give one of my different ones, and I'll start

858
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: off with the most aggressive one. Yes, Todd Gurley will

859
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: not finish as a top five fantasy running back, top

860
00:41:53,120 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: five fantasy running back. I mean I can't imagine a

861
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: set of circumstances. I can't imagine a timeline in which

862
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: that is very possible. Yeah, I can tell myself a

863
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: very real story about how that. Tell it to yourself. Well,

864
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: I'll tell it to people listening. How about that? Uh?

865
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: So I think that Todd Gurley obviously he plays on

866
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: the l A Rams or new local team. Uh. And

867
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: they're not a good team. They have not been a

868
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: I mean, they've been a mediocre team, and I think

869
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: the problem is people are just quickly penciling in Jared

870
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: Goff is going to make this whole thing better right away,

871
00:42:32,200 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: and I don't think we really have any idea whether

872
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 1: that's actually gonna be true or not. In fact, I

873
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 1: was sitting in on a green room conversation when I

874
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: was waiting to humble Bragg, sorry, when I was waiting

875
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,600
Speaker 1: to interview Allen Robinson, and two people were in there

876
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 1: discussing that that might not be like he might not

877
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: be ready at all, but they but they but they

878
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,839
Speaker 1: might force him in there anyway. So this offense could

879
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 1: conceivably be even worse this year, at least to start

880
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:56,239
Speaker 1: out with. And Gurley definitely had some down weeks when

881
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 1: the offense was just in the tank last year. So

882
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's a very viable situation. And he's not

883
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 1: like he doesn't offer that safe floor as a pass catcher.

884
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: He only caught twenty one passes a rookie. That could

885
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: certainly change. But I think writing it in pen is

886
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: a little aggressive, So you know, it's a hot take,

887
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,919
Speaker 1: But I can tell myself a pretty convincing story about

888
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: how this this actually happens. Anybody's sweating in there yet,

889
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: all right, franchise, Alright, I'm gonna start with let's go

890
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: we've got multiples. Oh yeah, I've got like seven. Oh wait,

891
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: we all got we got some hot takes jams and again,

892
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 1: well before we're diving, this prefaces again with like these

893
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: don't I mean, Marcus did say book it, but like,

894
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 1: don't talk it. Actually, just don't tweet us about these.

895
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: Don't tweet us about these. This is for fun. These

896
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:40,799
Speaker 1: are the crazy things that we can you know, what'll

897
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: be fun and we'll do a playback episode with this

898
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: after the season. We'll come back, look at these hot takes.

899
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna hit on. We'll do like that. We'll do

900
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: the hot take recap. Yeah, we'll get a swish, We'll

901
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: get some you know prices, right dinging thing bells and stuff.

902
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,680
Speaker 1: But franchise what you got, alright? I got Lashawn McCoy

903
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: is the best running back in fantasy football this year.

904
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 1: I know, I knew, I know, James James, please respond listen. Okay,

905
00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: last year he was riddled with injuries. We know it

906
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: was a down season for He missed four games. He

907
00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: still saw two hundred over two hundred carries, average four

908
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:16,440
Speaker 1: point four yards per carry, saw fifty targets as a

909
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: pass catcher, average twelve point two Fantasy points per game,

910
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: which ranked him tenth among among running backs, and he

911
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: only had five total touchdowns. Lashawn McCoy is one of

912
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 1: my was one of my favorite all time players. I

913
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't say all time, but was one of my favorite

914
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: players when he was playing with the Eagles. So good,

915
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: so good, so good. He was unbelievable great. Uh, you know,

916
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: multidimensional running back. But I mean I like that you

917
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: said that he missed four games and he still got

918
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 1: two hundred whatever carries. To me, that's a bad thing

919
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: because that means they're just over using the guy, and

920
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: he has been so heavily used over the last four

921
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,239
Speaker 1: or five seasons. I just think, you know, you talk

922
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 1: about the injuries, looking he's health, I cannot imagine he

923
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: plays sixteen games games this upcoming season. I think it's

924
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: almost impossible given his age and workload. UM and the

925
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: way that they really utilize Again, I was not a

926
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: fan of him going to Buffalo because I just think

927
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: Rex Ryan is not a very good offensive head coach. UM,

928
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: it's very straightforward and have you have you? Have you

929
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: run though? Yeah, he's got Greg Roman there. They feed

930
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: him the ball a lot. Have you run round and pound? Man?

931
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: I think defenses are gonna have to respect Tyrod Taylor

932
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: a little more. And it's the second year, all these guys,

933
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,640
Speaker 1: second year in that system, Tyrod, Sammy, Lashawn McCoy. They

934
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: started gaining some chemistry late last year. I've got another

935
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: name for Rex Ryan's offense. Okay, it's not grounded pound,

936
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 1: It's grounded down because that's what happens with these guys.

937
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,240
Speaker 1: Do you have I just melted a sad trombone noise.

938
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: We might still have it, all, right, do I have it?

939
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: Is this the right one? That's that's the one? Apologies

940
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: prices right? But I'll say Cam Newton is not going

941
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: to finish in the top five at his position. I

942
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: am not able. I think there's gonna be a massive

943
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: Super Bowl hangover. Um. I know he's getting Kelvin Benjamin back,

944
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:13,919
Speaker 1: but I don't know. Just to me, um, this this

945
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: team is a little bit in flux. Uh, the whole

946
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 1: losing Josh Norman in free agency, this thing, even though

947
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: obviously they initiated that. UM, I think that's gonna have

948
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of an impact as well. There's just

949
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: seems to be, I don't know, to me, a lot

950
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: of offseason drama surrounding this team. So I'm not investing

951
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,919
Speaker 1: in the Carolina Panthers this year. I think last year

952
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: they had a magical season, Magical Tedkin, double digit touchdowns. Somehow,

953
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: some way, Jonathan Stewart was able to stay healthy for

954
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 1: double digit quit slandering Jonathan Stewart, I for for me,

955
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: I just see this team taking a step back. I

956
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: think Cam Newton's gonna have a fine season. I'm not

957
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: saying he's gonna be falling off the cliff. I'm just

958
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 1: saying from a fantasy perspective, I see him as outside

959
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:02,319
Speaker 1: the top five at his position this year. Could I

960
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: believe you had drag Jonathan Stewart's again on that take? Alright,

961
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: So I'm going I've got I've got a fun one here.

962
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: It was getting around me, much like Kirk Cousins last year.

963
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez will win some people fantasy leagues late next season. Yeah,

964
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: people are gonna hate on him. It's Sanchiz butt fumble,

965
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,840
Speaker 1: all that jazz. But guess what, late in the season,

966
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna put up some musable weeks and for people

967
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 1: who have a quarterback injury or streaming the position, they're

968
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 1: gonna be starting Matt Mark Sanchez and they're gonna ride

969
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: him to a fantasy championship. I don't disagree with that.

970
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: I mean, here's some thing we were talking. We're joking

971
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 1: around about the whole fits backer thing. I mean, a

972
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 1: lot of the same you know, he has. Mark Sanchez

973
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: has a lot of the same scenario there in Denver,

974
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: strong defense, two very good targets into Marius Thomas and

975
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, a stable of of pretty good running backs

976
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,880
Speaker 1: there and C. J. Anderson and Davonte booker Um and

977
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: Ronnie Hillman. I guess maybe possibly, But I mean the

978
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: bottom line is is that he actually as a recipe

979
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: and I love Gary Kubiak as a quarterback developer. I

980
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: love him there. I don't disagree. I think mar Sanchez

981
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 1: has a chance. He's got a chance. His playoff schedule

982
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: is at Titans home against the Patriots and then at Chiefs.

983
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: And I know we the Chiefs defense has been pretty

984
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: great stortically, but they might not have justin Houston this season.

985
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: We don't know. But I would have a huge impact

986
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: if he's out. And uh, you know, Gary Cubia got

987
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: the Patriots twice last year with broken Peyton Manning. So

988
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: you know, Mark Sanchez isn't anything to write home to

989
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: your mom about in terms of a quarterback. But there

990
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: you go. That's a that's a that's little heat right there.

991
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: I like it. Harmon harmon round two. Yeah, Okay, I've

992
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:38,399
Speaker 1: got one that I think James is gonna like. Jalen Strong. Yeah,

993
00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 1: here we go. We'll catch eight touchdowns this season, and

994
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:45,520
Speaker 1: we'll start more games than will Fuller and Braxon Miller combined,

995
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 1: oh combined shut it down? Well, well, since Braxon Miller

996
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: will be starting zero because they started more than will Fuller.

997
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: There was actually a report out of Houston that will

998
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,440
Speaker 1: Fuller is not expected to be in the starting line up.

999
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: Jalens Throng. This has been a quiet story all offseason

1000
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 1: that he has lost right, looks like a different dude.

1001
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I think he was drafted appropriately in

1002
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: the third round last year. I wasn't that big of

1003
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 1: a fan of him coming out, but he's not a

1004
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 1: bad player. And I mentioned that eight touchdowns. His best

1005
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: ability is making plays on the ball in the air

1006
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: in the contested situations. I could see him, you know,

1007
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 1: having just a sneaky eight TV year. I don't disagree

1008
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: with that. I like it. I like where you're going

1009
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 1: with this, all right, Marcus Um, Well, I'm gonna go

1010
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: with I thought I had a ted get In one,

1011
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:35,760
Speaker 1: but I think I'm gonna skip that one. The Landy Walker, okay,

1012
00:49:35,960 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: is going to challenge Rob Gronkowski. Love to Landy Walker

1013
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: take right there. I mean, look, de Landy Walker. I

1014
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: feel like he's criminally underrated. I feel like he's criminally

1015
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,439
Speaker 1: underdrafted where he is. I mean, this is a guy

1016
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: who has been well over a hundred targets each of

1017
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and he is the most consistent,

1018
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:57,440
Speaker 1: reliable pass catcher they have down there in Tennessee right now.

1019
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 1: And while everybody's trying to make d g B a thing,

1020
00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:03,120
Speaker 1: it's the point. Look, it's to the point that the

1021
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: coaches are trying to talk up Taj Sharpe to light

1022
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 1: a fire under d g B and it's still not working.

1023
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: All right, right, I'm gonna jump in the order here. Look,

1024
00:50:13,360 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: the talent I get think the talent level is there

1025
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:17,440
Speaker 1: for Green Beckham. He is yet to show us that

1026
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 1: he can put it together, and until they can find something,

1027
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,560
Speaker 1: the Landy Walker will continue to be hands down the

1028
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: number one target from Marcus Mariota in that often. I'm

1029
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,799
Speaker 1: gonna no wave that that one right there. I'm gonna

1030
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,600
Speaker 1: tell you why. It's not because of d g B either.

1031
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,239
Speaker 1: It's because of this hot take that the forgotten son

1032
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: in Tennessee, Richard Matthews is going to a team in receiving.

1033
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 1: I thought you were gonna say to Marco Murray tomorrow, No,

1034
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: not a chance. I wish we could get back. Richard

1035
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 1: Matthews played great last year in Miami. He's there now

1036
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: they have he was good. He had a nice run.

1037
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: He had a nice run there. He's coming into a

1038
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver position that's widely unsettled. Wait, Kenda Wright, I

1039
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 1: think he's in a contract here. He's injured, He's not

1040
00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: the greatest. Is the number one wide receiver option in

1041
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: d g B. Everything. Marcus mentioned Taj Sharp like up

1042
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 1: fifth round rookie. Though, Matthews is gonna come in as

1043
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: the the steady veteran presence, and I think he could

1044
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: he could surprise some people this year I mean, granted,

1045
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: leading the Titans and receiving could be with seven hundred yards.

1046
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think because I did the training camp

1047
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: battles piece last week, I think the I think Kendall

1048
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 1: Wright led the receivers with thirty six receptions last year.

1049
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,879
Speaker 1: It's exactly there. It was something saying like that there

1050
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: is a huge opportunity for somebody like Matthews to just

1051
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: not not be spectacular, would be the steady veteran that

1052
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: comes in and leads that receiving coal. Interesting. Alright, who's

1053
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: got the next one? I got one to see off.

1054
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,960
Speaker 1: I got nothing off of co saying Camel be in

1055
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: the top five quarterback. So if Cam is out, that

1056
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: means someone has to slide up in there. Yeah, and

1057
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go even as far to say that Carson

1058
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: Palmer will be the number one quarterback. He's gonna be

1059
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 1: the number one, number one, top five. I'm like, that's

1060
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,320
Speaker 1: not a hot Yeah, I was about to slam me

1061
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,399
Speaker 1: mom a one among the top ten fantasy quarterbacks last year,

1062
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: he had the second best QB rating, tied for second

1063
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: most touchdowns thirty five. And uh, he's got arguably the

1064
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: best group of weaponry around him and Michael Floyd didn't

1065
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: even come until you know, mid season last year. So

1066
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:21,359
Speaker 1: and you just like the older guys. Hey, hey, it's

1067
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,640
Speaker 1: on brand for him experience. Well he is, he is

1068
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: old dad players. I think Carson Palmer is one of

1069
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: those guys who doesn't get talked about enough. And he's

1070
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,759
Speaker 1: really good and in a really amazing offense and he

1071
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: should be. Uh he needs more respect put respect. Uh yeah, no, listen,

1072
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,800
Speaker 1: he plays for a great team. I love what Bruce

1073
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:46,759
Speaker 1: arians is doing there in Arizona. But yep, but I mean, bro,

1074
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 1: what what I mean? All Right? That that's the point.

1075
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be a hot a point. That's the point.

1076
00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: They have the number one running back and David Johnson,

1077
00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: they have the number one quarterback cars Palmer and the

1078
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: number one receiver and John Brown. There you go. Number

1079
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: one's all around. Okay, James, you got another one? I

1080
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: got nothing? All right, hold on, I'll jump in with

1081
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 1: another one here. Oh wait, now, I wait, I jumped

1082
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: to orders. I've got one, Harmon. Well we'll keep going around. Harmon.

1083
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: What's number three? Here? I've got I've got three more left.

1084
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: You just gonna fire them all off, Just fire them

1085
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 1: all off. Let me do the first two and then

1086
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 1: let me say, Okay, well, one, Nelson Aglare will lead

1087
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles in receiving yards. Marcus likes that one. Number

1088
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:36,120
Speaker 1: two Derek Carr won't finish as a top fifteen fantasy

1089
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: quarterback this year. Who won't finish well? Not? And I

1090
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: think that's I also that's one like, I actually think

1091
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: it's incredibly possible to He was a quarterback fifteen last year,

1092
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,000
Speaker 1: and I think and the Raiders were twenty three in

1093
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 1: the NFL in terms of time spent, like trailing in games.

1094
00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 1: And we all expect the Raiders to be better, much better,

1095
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 1: better defensively and just a better team in general. Better.

1096
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,479
Speaker 1: That means they will be passing left, I mean less

1097
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,279
Speaker 1: he spent he had five seventy three attempts last year.

1098
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,320
Speaker 1: I expect that to come down. They'll be running the

1099
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 1: ball more. I could just see it, just natural regression,

1100
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 1: him slipping up outside the top team but actually having

1101
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: a better season, just not as good as a fantasy season. Right. Alright, alright, Marcus,

1102
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: what else you got Forest? I'll fire off my last

1103
00:54:20,200 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: two here that I have. Um So I mentioned ted

1104
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 1: Gin Ted Jin. We'll have another double digit touchdown season. God,

1105
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: how everybody will be worried about Kelvin Benjamin, everybody will

1106
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: be worried about greg Olsen. Look, they'll come in bunches

1107
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: like this won't be sprout out over this season. You'll

1108
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: have a couple of like, you know, two or three

1109
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: touchdown games, a couple of like long you know, big hitters. Uh,

1110
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: and he'll he'll suddenly sneak up and you look up

1111
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: in like week fifteen, and he'll be like to in touch.

1112
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: Then I think Hard's actually sweating from that taker. I

1113
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,480
Speaker 1: can see. I can see beads of sweat running on

1114
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:54,279
Speaker 1: his forehead. But what little mustache I had is what

1115
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,200
Speaker 1: might now my other one. And you might like this franchise.

1116
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: De'angelo Williams is going to out score Levion Belish. I'm

1117
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,520
Speaker 1: gonna need a shower after that. He's going to be

1118
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: with Bell being out potentially for four games. Um, you know,

1119
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:12,880
Speaker 1: we know last year obviously he got banged up on

1120
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: top of it, but I think Williams will play well

1121
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,719
Speaker 1: when when Bell is out, and then on top of it,

1122
00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna work him into the offense a little bit

1123
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 1: more than this year. And I agree, he'll he'll be productive.

1124
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 1: I think they're going to try to make an effort

1125
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: to keep Bell healthy for a late season run, playoff run,

1126
00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: and in order to do that, they'll have to work

1127
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: Dangelo in a little bit. I would agree with that.

1128
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 1: All right, franchise, you got another one? Uh sure, why not?

1129
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,960
Speaker 1: I got three more. I'll just fire him off real fast.

1130
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill is going to be a top ten running

1131
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: back this season. Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. He tied for

1132
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,359
Speaker 1: the most rushing touchdowns him on running backs last year.

1133
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: Great Dyal came from the goal line next point six

1134
00:55:51,680 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 1: yards per carry. Okay. Julian Edelman is washed and he's

1135
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: going in the fifth round. This dude's injury. He's thirty

1136
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: years old now and his injuries just keep racking up

1137
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 1: a lot of concussions, footot, ankle. Oh he's still He's

1140
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 1: top thirty. Uh yeah, let's let's do it. It's the

1141
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: Hot Take podcast. Malcolm Mitchell is going to come in

1143
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,640

00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: J pro Sis will be the number one fantasy running

1145
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:30,279

00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: this is gonna be the worst podcast in the history

1148
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: of this what or the best? Probably the best bet?

1149
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: All right, I've got I've got one more for funzies

1150
00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:45,799
Speaker 1: before we get to all right, this is just a

1151
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 1: homer one before Harmon gives us his last one. Jeff Janice,

1152
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 1: No no no, no, no, no no no. It is Packers related. Obviously, Rogers, Nelson,

1153
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 1: cob Lacy, and Jared Cook will all finish in the

1154
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: top ten and fantasy scoring at their position. I like it.

1155
00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,880
Speaker 1: And Cobb and Nelson again, I'm kind of into that.

1156
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 1: I think I think Nelson he's got obviously if he

1157
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 1: stays healthy. It's like for a time. Look, well, you know,

1158
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: we're get into the silly narratives. Everybody's like angry Tom Brady,

1159
00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: Like what about angry Aaron Rodgers. He had that bad season,

1160
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: His brothers is bad mouthing him on the bag. How

1161
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 1: he's finally got a seam stretching tight end again, He's

1162
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: got all his weapons back. Eddie Lacey's healthy. They're gonna

1163
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: just like lead the league in scoring, all of them

1164
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: gonna finish in the top ten. There book it. You know,

1165
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: he's real talk though. For so do you think that

1166
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,040
Speaker 1: this do you think the Bachelor stuff is actually impacting him?

1167
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: He doesn't care, does not care. People say, hey, listen,

1168
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,040
Speaker 1: people say, you know, he's not gonna care whatever, whatever,

1169
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: what he we're gonna about this. That's what I'm saying.

1170
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: He does kind of care about it. And the thing is,

1171
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's different if you had like you know,

1172
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 1: like female issues, but like family issues, Like that's another level,

1173
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like that could weigh heavily. Well.

1174
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,640
Speaker 1: The thing, he's a super private dude, Like he always

1175
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: tries to stay out of the spot, Like he doesn't tweet,

1176
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:03,439
Speaker 1: you know, during the season and stuff, and he rarely

1177
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: does off the season, and he keeps his appearances to

1178
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:07,800
Speaker 1: a minimum and stuff. So I think all this does

1179
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:09,920
Speaker 1: is reinforce why he's been that way is because they

1180
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: didn't want crap like this to happen. And his brothers

1181
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: on the worst show on television and he goes on

1182
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 1: just drips him a new one. I'm just saying, yeah,

1183
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: there's a hot take the Bachelor and Bachelor of the

1184
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: worst shows on television it is. I don't disagree with

1185
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: that at all. All right, let's do one last one. Sorry,

1186
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: I spent some time on This is the most. This

1187
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: is the most. This is the most ridiculous thing that

1188
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: will ever be said in podcast history, not just this podcast,

1189
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: with podcast history in general. After mysterious After a mysterious

1190
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: off season that included missing much of the offseason practices

1191
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,080
Speaker 1: following signing a contract in April that comes with a

1192
00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 1: smaller bass salary than his teammate Donald Brown, Legarrett Blunt

1193
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: will not make New England's final roster. Replacing him as

1194
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots big back will be Rhoto World pariah Andre

1195
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 1: Williams after he fails to stick to the Giant squad.

1196
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: Williams will go on to score ten touchdowns this year

1197
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 1: and this new role as the As former Giants head

1198
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 1: coach and fellow Boston College alum Tom Coughlin SIPs a

1199
00:59:09,080 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: chilled mint tea on the coast of the Hampton's as

1200
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 1: he stares longingly into the sea. Wow. Wow, that could

1201
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: have almost been penned by a ten s own Mark

1202
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:25,280
Speaker 1: I spoke with Cessler this morning in the break room,

1203
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: and I felt inspired after the after That's why I

1204
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: had to go to the Falling Sound. Here's the podcast

1205
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: specially gone off the rails. The craziest part about that is,

1206
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: if for some reason Andre Williams lands with the Patriots,

1207
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you his ownership percentage will go up

1208
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 1: at least ten points, just because people will think it's

Speaker 1: the Patriots, Like, it's the Patriots. Baby could be the

1212
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: be settling. You did say ten touchdowns for and J Williams.

1213
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: You know you said CG Process is gonna be the

1214
00:59:55,200 --> 01:00:01,120

1217
01:00:05,480 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 1: back with some more research. But should we taps and

1218
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:19,800
Speaker 1: get out of here? He depth depth? Can I say

1219
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: this about the Daily DAPs too. It's such a polarizing segment.

1220
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 1: Some people love it and other people absolutely we love it. Also,

1221

1223
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 1: to say it quick before we dive into these I

1224
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: find it hilarious that we brought Davis Maddock on, pitched

1225
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 1: him as the hot take artist, and then he actually

1226
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: had much more reasonable takes search to back it up

1227
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: than all the crafts. Yeah right, he pulled a fast

1228
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: one on us, ladies and gentlemen. But all right, who

1229
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,520
Speaker 1: wants to start with depths. Let's start with Mark's grant.

1230
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: All right, I got a couple of real quick one

1231
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago on this podcast. I came on

1232
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 1: and talked about the sport of her yes and I

1233
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: saw when I was in Ireland. So I want to

1234
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: give adapts to a lot of the listeners I got.

1235
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 1: I got, you know, props from a lot of folks

1236
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: from Ireland on Twitter for talking about it. But two

1237
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: guys in particular, Um Michael, who doesn't use his last name,

1238
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: but he is at bearded celt who uh that is

1239
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: a man who sounds like he knows what's up right. Um.

1240
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: He actually hipped me to some of the things that

1241
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: constitute a foul in her case. I said that was

1242
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: one of the things I couldn't figure out is what

1243
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 1: was a foul and what wasn't, So he kind of

1244
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: gave me like a little crash course on some of that. Um.

1245
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: And the other goes to Martin Fitzpatrick, who hipped me

1246
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: to some of the actual terms. It's not a paddle,

1247
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 1: it is a hurly hurly early, and it is not

1248
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:48,920
Speaker 1: a ball. It is a sleatar. I've got some a

1249
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 1: sleatar s l I O t a R. I might

1250
01:01:52,360 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 1: be mis pronouncing it probably That's awesome. So yeah, so

1251
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 1: props to to Michael and to Martin for kind of

1252
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:02,120

1267
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: this past weekend for a bachelor party and I'm just

1268
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,760
Speaker 1: gonna share this little awkward story that happened to me. Love,

1269
01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 1: whatever happens to whatever happens in Vegas, Well, this is

1270
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: so we me and the guys, we were leaving the

1271
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 1: room and we all had cans of beer in our

1272
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: hand because you can kind of have roads in Vegas

1273
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: and walk around while he had a caller light. And

1274
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: the elevator door opens and there's this elder couple with

1275
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 1: what I'm assuming was their granddaughter on the elevator and

1276
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,400
Speaker 1: she sees us holding these cans and she looks at

1277
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: me and asked me, what what's what are you holding

1278
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: in your hand? And I said, this is a beer.

1279
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:20,680
Speaker 1: And she looks at me and she said she had

1280
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: glasses on right, And she looks at me and she goes,

1281
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:27,760
Speaker 1: I'll trade you my glasses for your beer. I like

1282
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: didn't know what to say. My brain went hey wire,

1283
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: and I stumbled a little and I said, don't you

1284
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: need those glasses to see? And then the elevator door

1285
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: opened and I escaped the situation and walked out. Um,

1286
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,240
Speaker 1: but daily depths to that daily deaps to that child.

1287
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 1: She must have been eight to ten years old, and

1288
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:48,160
Speaker 1: she was when, oh my goodness, she was trying to

1316
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm not going to confirm or deny that. That's not

1317
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,200

Speaker 1: there like that. Why why are we not talking about this?

1319
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:35,480

Speaker 1: Listen will update fans as things developed. Alight, this is

1323
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,720

1327
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,080

1328
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,439
Speaker 1: Alex Killhar was kid from all right. First off, gotta

1329

1332
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:17,440
Speaker 1: Softball League championship. They started the season as as a

1333
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: bunch of a bunch of drunks just trying to figure out,

1334
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, how to how to be a team. They

1335
01:06:22,280 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: came together throughout it, endured some injuries, some hard times,

1336
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: entered the playoffs as as a low seed and came

1337
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 1: out on top to win glory for the Shield and

1338
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, so daily deap to that whole team. I'm

1339
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:34,880

1341
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 1: amazing sports store. I mean, it's right up there with

1342

Speaker 1: the miracle on ice and and lesser winning winning the

Speaker 1: it daily dap to Greg Jennings he retired this week,
