A lot of you are asking questions 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:31.880 because fantasy football drafts are upon us as we go 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:34.800 into the holiday weekend. A lot of people are drafting, 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.679 a lot of people have questions. We were going position 0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.400 by position. I was giving you tight end diamonds in 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.319 the rough yesterday, and there were so many callers that 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:45.280 I didn't get to all of the diamonds. I got 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.000 a couple of deep sleepers going you can get at 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.720 any point in time in your draft, and I think 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.920 they might return top twelve, top fifteen tight end value 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:58.840 for you. I'm gonna give you who those guys are 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:03.160 later on in the show. Also, tonight is week four 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:07.040 of the preseason. Remember how Week three was the dress rehearsal, Well, 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.640 tonight week four. The starters very rarely play at all, 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.680 so they're trying to conserve them, keep them in bubble 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:17.800 wraps so they could be ready where the NFL season 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:22.079 kicks off one week from today. What that means, will 0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:24.600 everybody stay healthy? We'll see. There's still a couple of 0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:27.560 things that I would look for here in week four. 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.040 We'll talk about that as well. You know, we're here 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.000 live at Studio thirty four Rock and Riley's here in 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.440 Midtown Manhattan.

You heard that I'm gonna have Nick on 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.640 from l A. It looks like you trying to promote 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.320 a little East Coast West Coast beef. I don't know. 0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:06.640 We are a little Biggie and tuploc action. Listen, if 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.039 you want to holler at me all hours, you can 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.360 at ate four four eight, four, three, six, eight seven nine. 0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.840 And it sounds like the phone lines are hot, like 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:19.360 liquid hot magma right off the top. I couldn't get 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.320 to all my tape diamonds in the rough. Yes, hopefully 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:23.920 I got to them today, but you know I want 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:25.960 to hear from you as well. Hey Christiness, it sounds 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.200 like our first caller tonight is Gary in Rochester. He's 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.880 got a question about hashtag beast mode on the Oakland Raiders. 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.280 Hey Gary, what's going on? You're dropping stats over beats? 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:40.120 It's the fantasy freestyle you're on with speeds. What's up? Yeah? 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:44.719 I was wondering if like third Allen and Marshawn Lynch 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:49.720 Week one, Keenan Allen or Marshawn Lynch in your flex spot. Well, 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.880 let's first of all look at these matchups. Right, you 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.760 got the Oakland Raiders. They are going to Tennessee right 0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:00.400 whereas the Chargers are going to Denver on Monday day night. 0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:03.320 You talk about Keenan Allen going up against the Chargers 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:06.479 in Denver on Monday night, that crowd is gonna be hyped. 0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.240 And you know, the Denver secondary is truly elite. With 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.160 Chris Harris Junior would have keep to leave as well. 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.039 I would say that that does not help the matchup 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.400 for Keenan Allen and because of that, I would go 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:23.000 with beast mode. Given those two choices, UM receivers don't 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:27.080 farewell against the Denver Broncos secondary, and unfortunately that is 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.960 the matchup for Keenan Allen in Week one. Thank you 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.560 for the call, Gary and Rochester. We got another call. 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.599 It is right here in New York. Dan in New 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.520 York got a general question about the different conferences as 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.359 it relates to Fantasy. What's going on, Dan, You're on 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:47.120 the Fantasy Freestyle with Speeds? Well, yeah, I have a 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.800 question and then I have something to add answer it. 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.040 What's up? Um? Well, which team? Um? You know, which 0:06:55.160 --> 0:07:01.880 fancy could be better? Overall? That's kind of tough to say, 0:07:01.960 --> 0:07:04.280 you know, when you talk about it, like which conference 0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:07.719 will be better, because fantasy football is so much about 0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:12.160 individual playoffs and players and matchups, like consider it this way, 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:16.640 Consider it this way. The Jacksonville Jaguars were horrible two 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.800 years ago, you know, winning four, five or six games, 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.720 Yet Blake Bortles and although garbage time points, was able 0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:26.560 to be an effective fantasy football player. Right, teams that 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:29.360 are great team it's all about the game flow. There 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:31.520 are some teams that are great. If they're winning by 0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.840 twenty one point in the second half, you know what 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:36.360 they're gonna do. Run the ball and try and run 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.480 out the clock. So if you have a wide receiver 0:07:38.880 --> 0:07:42.119 from some great team, you know, some team like let's say, 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:44.280 let's say the New England Patriots, right, But the New 0:07:44.320 --> 0:07:46.640 England Patriots, when they're up in the second half of games, 0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:49.680 they're gonna run the ball. That's why guys like Garrett 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.320 Blunt were so great with them in that context. So 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:55.120 it's really hard to say. I would say that the 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:59.960 most dynamic offenses in the NFL are still the Green 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.880 Bay Packers, the New Orleans Saints, the Pittsburgh Steelers, the 0:08:03.880 --> 0:08:06.880 Atlanta Falcons, and the New England Patriots. Those are three 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.600 NFC teams to a f C teams. But it's so 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.120 hard because player by player you really need to know 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.040 the teams. You need to know the matchups, and the 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.600 key is you need to know the game flow that 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.080 you expect what will be happening, who will be up, 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.320 who will be down. So it's a tough thing to say, 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.800 but I think some of the more dynamic offenses are 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:30.680 in the NFC. Right now, you said you gotta follow up. Yeah, 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:33.640 this is more about the fish. Um, you do realize 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:35.760 that you need to get plants and stuff for it 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.960 because it's like pretty depressed right now. Fair enough, thank 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:40.800 you for the call. Thank you for the call. We 0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:43.840 got our guy Jamis Finston over here. I'm trying to 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:45.880 add to it. Okay, I gotta tell you the truth. 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:49.120 We got these colorful marbles. I added these rubber duckies 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:52.000 in here as well. We're working on it. Thank you 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.920 for the inside Dan. We're gonna see what we could 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.640 do what I do have on set though. We got 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.400 a new sponsor, these UH kicks right and they'll do 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:03.120 your favorite college. So we got Michigan and the Ohio 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:06.000 State University. But thank you for the call. We're gonna 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.240 try and work on the fish situation. We got another caller. 0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:12.319 It's Shannon in Georgia. Wants to talk to me about 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:15.600 their first five picks and how I view them. Go ahead, Shannon, 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:19.480 you know on the Fantasy Freestyle? Are you doing? Man? 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.800 I'm a real big fan. I appreciate that. What's going on. 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:26.640 I chose Jordy Nelson first, by the way, I was 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:31.120 the sixth person to pick fair enough. I chose d 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:41.440 Neson love it, then Doug Christian okay, and uh, lastly 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:47.200 I got Allen Robinson okay, should be concerned? Should improve that? No. Listen, 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:51.520 you said it's PPR format, Yes, okay. I think you're 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:53.840 in great shape to be quite honest. Listen, the two 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.200 top wide out you mentioned, Jordy Nelson and Doug Baldwin. 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.320 I think Doug Baldwin is a viable back end wide 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.040 out one for a team. So the fact that he's 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.480 your wide out two, I think you're in great shape there. 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:07.280 And then here's the thing, the key being it that 0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.439 it's PPR format right. Because of that, I like that 0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:12.920 you go wide out wide out at the top because 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.679 you're gonna find running backs that in this PPR format 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.640 are gonna be BPST and can still be running backs 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.360 one and two for you in your case, Christian McCaffrey, 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.079 I think it's gonna be a stud. I think he's 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.319 gonna catch about fifty five ball. So I love it 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.880 in that format. And Dalvin Cook it was one of 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.160 my running back diamonds in the rough. So I absolutely 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.400 love that your last pick was another wide receiver and 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:36.560 you said it could be a wide out. Three. Who 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:42.679 was that again, Alan Robinson? Sure, here's the thing, listen, 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.440 that comes down to Blake Bortles, right. I do believe 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:48.720 Allen Robinson has the skill to be an incredible wide 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.240 receiver and could even return value for you there. I 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.560 would watch this Blake Bortles situation though, because that could 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.839 be the problem. But yes, Alan Robinson as a wide receiver. Three. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.520 I like what you did. What your five call in 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.280 again anytime you want, Shannon throughout the season and we'll 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.600 see how it goes. But thank you for the call. Hey, Chris, 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.280 we gotta get to these tight end diamonds in the 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:11.640 rough that I want to talk about. There's two more 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:14.599 that I didn't get to yesterday that I would be 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:16.960 remiss if I didn't tell you yesterday though, we had 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.079 our poll up who was your tight end Diamonds in 0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.320 the Rough. The winner of that poll at tight end 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.520 seventeen was Austin and Hooper. Thirty five percent of you 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.560 said Hooper, thirty one percent of you said Hunter Henry, 0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:31.280 three percent said Eric Ebron. But we had five hundred 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.400 votes on this poll, and a lot of people were 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.959 saying other ones. Okay, a lot of nominations, guys like 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:40.200 zach Ertz, guys like Cameron Brad, guys like Kobe Fleaner. 0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.120 One person though, big shout out to Binky at Binky 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:46.400 the Doormat on Twitter. He says a s J we're 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:50.440 talking about as Austin Safarian Jenkins on the New York Jets, 0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:52.800 and I think that is a very interesting option. He's 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.760 going as tight end twenty eight right now, two hundred 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.719 seventy fourth overall. That is pretty much undrafted. I like 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:04.120 Austin Sefarian Jenkins. Why because there's no other options on 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.199 the Jets. Okay, he might in fact be the leading 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.200 receiver for this team. He's lost twenty pounds, he's got 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.720 his mind right. He went to rehab in the offseason. 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.719 He knows this is pretty much his last chance. And 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.439 for the Jets, whether it is m account or God forbid, 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:21.559 Christian Hackenburg under center, they're gonna be looking to check 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.920 down and I think Austin Sefarian Jenkins, because you're not 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:26.240 gonna be successful out there on the outside when you 0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:30.080 only got guys like Robbie Anderson and Sharon Peek. They're 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.880 gonna go instead in a safe route. I could see 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:36.600 Austin Seferian Jenkins and then Boom Boom Bilu pal Pal 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.320 being real pieces of the passing game, and you can 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:41.920 get him as late as you want. You could even 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:45.600 probably pick him up after week one. Why because Safari 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.480 and Jenkins has suspended for the first two weeks of 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:50.880 the season. The one other guy I want to tell you, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:55.600 and this is a deep sleeper. Check out George Kittle 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.840 on the San Francisco forty Niners. I think this guy 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:02.480 is viable. The forty Niners say they loved him in camp, 0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.240 and you know what they did this week. They traded 0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.360 away there starting tight end Vance McDonald got traded to 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:12.320 the Pittsburg Steelers, opening the door and opening the path 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:16.080 for George Kittle. This guy is going undrafted. You may 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:19.040 be saying, who remember the name George Kittle. I think 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:20.920 he's gonna be a tight end that can come out 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:25.120 of absolutely nowhere and then again in a conservative kind 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.360 of offense with Brian Horror. I think they're gonna be 0:13:27.400 --> 0:13:30.080 able to use the tight end. They used the tight 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:34.400 end a bunch. I think George Kittle could return some value. 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.439 All right, got some news and notes that I want 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:40.319 to get into. Also listen, the NFL is investigating Jarvis 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:44.240 Landry for domestic violence and investigation. Okay, charges are not 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.400 being filed. However, I already told you. I already told 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.520 you that Jarvis Landry was gonna be a fool gaze. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.960 I told you that Dolphins did not want to extend 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.839 this contract. I told you how much I like Davante Parker. 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.480 This is now never another reason why Jarvis Landry is 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:01.040 a fool gaze at the wide received her position. Also, 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.800 Adam Schefter is now reporting that there's a real chance 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.600 that that Zeke Elliott suspension does get reduced to maybe 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:09.199 two or four games. I told you what needs to 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.679 happen here is Zeke needs to take his medicine. If 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:13.920 you listen to the Fantasy Freestyle yesterday. I told you 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.559 you rather him just serve the suspension and then be back. 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:20.880 You don't want that cloud hanging over your head later 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.440 on in the season when you're in the fantasy playoffs. Also, 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:25.800 there's some wide receivers that are now apparently on the 0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:28.240 trading block. Okay, I told you about Jarvis Landry before. 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.640 The Chargers might be Stelp shopping dontrelle Inman. And if 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.960 you're a big fan of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:38.840 you know I love dontrelle Inman. He's the inman, the 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.040 fighter of the nights Man. That could mean because they 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:45.720 have faith in guys like Travis Benjamin, Tyrrelle Williams. That 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.440 could be why even Mike Williams health keep an eye 0:14:48.480 --> 0:14:51.840 out on that. The Seahawks are sharping uh Mr curse. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:55.200 That could mean they have faith and guys like Paul Richardson, 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:58.760 guys like Tyler Lockett, even guys like Casson Williams keep 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.520 an eye out on that. Also in Seattle, they're listening 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:05.800 Thomas Rawls and Eddie Lacey as co starters. It seems 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:08.280 like no one has grabbed the mantle of the starting 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.320 running back and the Seahawks will be going with a 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.640 true committee. Keep an eye out on that as we 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.200 move all along into week one after the preseason. When 0:15:17.240 --> 0:15:19.320 we come back, we're gonna have my man Nick joined 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.280 the show. I believe out there from l A. We're 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:23.120 gonna talk about the a f C West. We're gonna 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.040 talk about the NFC West. He's gonna give you some 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.640 of his diamonds and fool gazes as well. We'll still 0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.400 take your callers as well as Dan Martinez, speeds and 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.040 spitting statistician Right here on the Fantasy Freestyle on the 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:37.480 award winning Fantasy Sports Radio Network, we go out to 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:39.480 the West Coast staff of this come all right, back, 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:49.480 Hunter Henry Stirling and Shepherd Michael Thomas. These three NFL 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:53.120 softwares are not due to slump, They're due to break out. 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:57.560 Just like the Fantasy Sports Radio Network a year two, 0:15:58.000 --> 0:16:01.440 things are only getting better. Make sure listen live and 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.240 dell o the app F and t s Y Radio 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.520 each three and it's twenty four seven. The best Fantasy 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:26.000 SPORTSNTEN is on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Welcome back 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.560 to the Fantasy Freestyle, Dropping stats over beach, which your 0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:31.680 boy Dame Martinez speeds and spitting statistician right here on 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.000 the Fantasy Freestyle. I just finished saying that in week 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.360 four of the preseason, the one thing you want to 0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.120 worry about is making sure that your starters do not 0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:44.360 get hurt. I turn and look, and the New York 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:48.200 Jets starting quarterback Josh McCown is in a heap on 0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:52.360 the ground and Christian Hackenburg is warming up right now. 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.520 Leave it to the New York Jets to play it 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:59.400 in that way. They are trying everything possible to wind 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.840 up with Am Donald as the number one overall pick 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.720 in next year's draft. I'm telling you right now, in 0:17:05.800 --> 0:17:08.840 about nine months, you're going to hear the commissioners say 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.760 and with the first pick, the New York Jets select 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.080 quarterback out of USC Sam Donald. But enough about that, 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:19.879 because I got my man Nick. I got my man 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:22.399 Nick Lebrani with me. He's out there in l A. 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:25.359 I gotta stop this East Coast bias, talking about only 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:28.000 the Jets and only these East Coast teams who I 0:17:28.000 --> 0:17:30.160 want to bring in My boy Nick over there working 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.680 with Pro Angle Media, do a little East Coast West 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:35.359 Coast action. Nick, how you doing on a Fantasy Freestyle. 0:17:35.359 --> 0:17:39.920 How's it going out there? Man? What's up, Dane? That's 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.280 going really well? You know, I'm I'm doing my usual 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:45.840 sitting and sitting in l A traffic. Yeah, you know, 0:17:46.000 --> 0:17:48.440 just just on the four oh five. What are you on? 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.280 You're on the floor O five, the one oh five, 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:54.600 the five. What's up? I'm on the four oh five? 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:59.399 You know the infamous. Are you driving a Bronco? Are 0:17:59.440 --> 0:18:02.800 you driving a white Bronco? No? No, no, no, alright, 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:05.720 I'll never be a Bronco. Well, listen, listen that. I 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:07.479 wanted to get into this with you a little bit 0:18:07.520 --> 0:18:09.440 because I have a couple of questions. You know, football 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:11.920 is back in Los Angeles. We're gonna get into the 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:13.399 a f C West and the NFC West some of 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.560 your diamonds and full gazes as well. But the first 0:18:15.600 --> 0:18:17.560 thing I want to ask you is like, do people 0:18:17.600 --> 0:18:20.680 in l A care about the Chargers at all? I 0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.960 know they're gonna be in this like new stadium where 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.680 the l A Galaxy is only five thousand something like that. 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.720 I saw Dan Fouts recently say it's an embarrassment that 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:31.520 the charges were there. Do you think that people are 0:18:31.520 --> 0:18:33.800 gonna come out second year for the Rams, first year 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:36.160 for the Chargers, two teams that might be doing better 0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:38.920 than last year. What do you think is there buzz 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.960 out there about the Rams and the Chargers? You know, 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.960 there definitely is some buzz with both of these teams. 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.480 I think, Um, I think that there's some excitement. More so, 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.680 I think with the Chargers because that stadium is so 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:56.000 unique in so many ways. It only holds a max 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:58.879 thirty thousand. They just add a few, uh five thousand 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:02.679 seats of bleachers, but that is a that's a stadium 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:05.640 where you're gonna go find an experience unlike any other 0:19:05.960 --> 0:19:09.159 NFL venue you go to because the smallest size of 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:12.400 it so um and plus the Chargers, you know they're 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:14.639 gonna be exciting team to watch, you know, as well 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.960 as the Rams. But if you're going to choose the 0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:19.159 place to go see a game this year, I'd much 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.159 rather go see a Chargers game that Ram game. The 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:25.119 Coliseum is just an absolute, you know, nightmare right now. 0:19:25.600 --> 0:19:27.600 And I'm sure both those teams really can't wait to 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:29.879 get that new stadium going. Fair Enough, let me ask you. 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.880 Let me ask you this, Nick, because I'm a little 0:19:32.880 --> 0:19:34.680 bit high on the Charger, So I want to hear 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.200 what you think as well. I actually think the Charges 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.000 are gonna finish in second place in that division and 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:43.040 compete for a wild card. Listen, I think Joey Bosa 0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:46.280 is turning into an animal coming off the edge. There's 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.960 the return of Jason Varette, who is a legitimate number 0:19:49.000 --> 0:19:51.359 one cornerback for the Charges. Just and I sort of 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:54.600 think this could be Philip Rivers last Hurrah. And in 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.399 the a f C West, I expect regression from the 0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:00.680 Denver Broncos given the Trevor Simeon Packs Than Lynch kind 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.520 of experiment. And I also think that the Chiefs got 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.000 a little bit lucky last year with things like returning 0:20:06.000 --> 0:20:09.880 two point conversions for touchdowns against Atlanta. Could you see 0:20:09.920 --> 0:20:12.880 the Chargers making a step? Do you think the Raiders 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.480 deserve to be prohibitive favorites? How do you see the 0:20:15.560 --> 0:20:19.920 a f C West shaking out? You know, you know, 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:22.159 I actually see it, you know, very very similar, if 0:20:22.200 --> 0:20:24.159 not the same. I actually was going through the Charger 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:27.800 schedule and I I could see ten wins there from that, Uh, 0:20:27.840 --> 0:20:30.399 the schedule gets a little bit light. Um, you know, 0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.879 they have a couple of East coast travels, which is 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:34.480 never easy from a West Coast team going to the 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.280 East coast. However, I do think that they could get 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.000 ten winst year. The only thing that I could see 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:41.920 slowing them down is that offensive offensive it was it 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:45.560 was a problem last year. Yeah, I mean and and 0:20:45.680 --> 0:20:48.080 the and also the other part is, you know, the 0:20:48.240 --> 0:20:51.200 Charges last year blew about four or fourth quarter leads. 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:53.800 They could have easily had nine wins last year, absolutely 0:20:53.920 --> 0:20:58.760 losing five straight to end the season. There were plenty 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:00.960 of games where they were up with five minutes left 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.119 to go and like the wind, probability was high, they 0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.960 found ways to lose, they could not finish. And you 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:07.960 know the gift of that now, the gift of that 0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:10.159 now is they got a fourth place schedule with a 0:21:10.240 --> 0:21:13.960 team that is probably better than their records showed last year. 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.000 So you could see the Charges maybe making a run 0:21:16.040 --> 0:21:21.440 in a wild card. Absolutely no, there's no, There's no 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:23.840 question they have the potential be a wild card favorite, 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:27.480 which makes which which you know, l a feeds off hype. 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:29.080 So you know, say the Charges got off to a 0:21:29.160 --> 0:21:30.840 fast start. You know they're three and oh three and 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:33.159 one going into you know, into the quarter mark, of 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.359
