Speaker 4: myself at Dan Byer on Fox. A artxecutive producer's Ryan

Speaker 4: Bersinger was hanging out as well. You can find him

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 4: on so Media. F Ryan Bursinger. All right, guys, as

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 4: we look back at the twenty twenty three season, it

20
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 4: is now twenty twenty four. I thought it could be

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 4: kind of fun to give an exercise and just when

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 4: we look back at the fantasy season that it was.

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 4: If I were to give the statement, this was the

24
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 4: season of blank, and I don't think that there's one

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 4: right answer. I think that there are multiple answers that

26
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 4: we could fit into this. But Mike, I throw it

27
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 4: out to you first. If I were to say the

28
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 4: twenty twenty three fantasy season was the season of blank,

29
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 4: what's a name that pops up in your head?

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 5: Well, I think the guy that would stand out, would

31
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 5: you know, We've talked about it a little bit, would

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 5: be McCaffrey, just because in a year and look, the

33
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 5: overall stats are deceiving. We'll get into that a little

34
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 5: bit more as we go on, Fellas, but you know,

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 5: on a week to week basis, he was like the

36
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 5: old Ronco Overnight, you know, infomercials, the Senate and forget

37
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 5: it right with your rotisserie chicken or whatever. Yeah, is

38
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 5: that you weren't worried that you were suddenly gonna have

39
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 5: a four point performance. There weren't very many players that

40
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 5: we had that same experience with, particularly guys you would

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 5: have drafted in the first round. Think about Kelsey, think

42
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 5: about some of these other guys where you were throwing

43
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 5: stuff against your television or against your wall because of

44
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: the ineptitude and disappearing acts with McCaffrey, we never worried

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 5: about that.

46
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's true, just Keth.

47
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 4: When I look back, and now I know Bershinger knows

48
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 4: these names, so I'm not trying to insult him. What

49
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: I'm trying to do is age wise, Mike, when we

50
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 4: say Marshall, Falk, Priest Holmes, Ladanian, Tomlinson, like those were

51
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 4: the automatic names.

52
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, certainly.

53
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 4: I mean I'm looking at Ladanian Tomlinson's two thousand and

54
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: six numbers right here, and there was a span from

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 4: week seven to week fifteen where he had one hundred

56
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 4: and eighty three yards rushing into touchdowns on hundred and

57
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 4: seventy two yards and three touchdowns, one hundred and four

58
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 4: yards and four touchdowns, one hundred and five yards and

59
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 4: three touchdowns, hundred nine yards and two touchdowns, hundred and

60
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 4: seventy eight yards and two touchdowns, one hundred and three

61
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: yards and three touchdowns, one hundred ninety nine yards and

62
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 4: two touchdowns. And I didn't even talk about his receiving yards. Okay,

63
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: I didn't even like those were his stats. So it's crazy,

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: but to your point, like what Christian McCaffrey did didn't

65
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: match those numbers, but for how poorly the running back

66
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: position was this year, Oh, those numbers models have been

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 4: the numbers that I just read off because it was

68
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: such an advantage if you had him on your team.

69
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 4: I would love to know a percentage of, like how

70
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 4: many title teams had Christian McCaffrey, because the guy that

71
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 4: won our league had Christian McCaffrey. And by the way,

72
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 4: they may have gotten screwed because of the injury against

73
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: you know that he had in Washington. Maybe bad timing,

74
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 4: but at least if he did title game, I'd have

75
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: to say fifty percent, just because of how dominant he

76
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: was compared to anybody else that was a running back.

77
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: Maybe not named Kyraen Williams or he most, but it

78
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: was leaps and bounds better than everybody.

79
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 5: No, you're right, I'd seen the stat that it was

80
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 5: fifty nine percent going into the title game, and you know,

81
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 5: you look at from a pp actually that's the standard.

82
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 5: Let's let's blow it up even more from a PPR standpoint.

83
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 5: He was one hundred points better than number two, who

84
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 5: you wouldn't believe is number two.

85
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: Who is number two Breese Hall Love.

86
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 5: Wait, who scored one hundred of his two hundred and

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 5: ninety point five points in the final three weeks of

88
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 5: the season.

89
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 4: Oh man, yeah, he will not make our segment of

90
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 4: thousand yard rushers, which is a whole nother story.

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 3: Jet Shoe.

92
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was told there would be no math, but yeah,

93
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 4: I mean, like I think that Christian McCaffrey is a

94
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 4: is an absolute no brainer when you're talking.

95
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 6: About the season of blank. I'll give you another.

96
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 4: Name to throw in, Pokin the Sure, because he is

97
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 4: the guy that you pick up in week one and

98
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 4: use your you know, waiver priority to the best of

99
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: your ability and try to cash in. And then you

100
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 4: think to yourself, Okay, when Cooper Cup comes back, at

101
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: least I've got you know, two or three weeks or

102
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 4: you know, with this I things should be, you know,

103
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 4: back to normal with the Rams. But I'll ride this

104
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 4: way for two or three weeks. Little did we realize

105
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 4: it was gonna be one hundred and sixty targets almost

106
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 4: fifteen hundred yards, only had six touchdowns, but still to

107
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 4: have one hundred and five receptions from a guy you

108
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 4: very likely didn't pick up on waivers or just took

109
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: a flyer on late in the draft. I think that's

110
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 4: every fantasy person's dream and you have to have actually

111
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 4: should say you have to have that guy. But it

112
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 4: makes your season so much easier when you like cashed

113
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 4: in on a late round flyer, and that's what I

114
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 4: think fantasy is about. So, Pooka the coup is my

115
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 4: was the first name that popped up into my.

116
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 3: Head PPR number four.

117
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 4: Wow, that's that's where it was. Yardage wise, I was

118
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 4: in a I was in a mix. I would say

119
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 4: about half the leagues that I was in people drafted him.

120
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 4: The other half, uh, they did not. So it was

121
00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 4: a free agent pickup or a waiver wire after week one.

122
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 4: But that's Puko was the was actually the first name

123
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 4: that I even wrote on the list.

124
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's an amazing, amazing season. Obviously playoff games

125
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 5: still to be done, but you look at over the

126
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 5: course of the year, only what four games were he

127
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 5: finished with fewer than ten points in PPR leagues.

128
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's nice to have. In our guantine league, he

129
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 4: was clutch, you know for that reason. Sure, you know

130
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 4: as well, first you got any ideas the season of blank.

131
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: If I, if I, if I narrow in on one

132
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: name here.

133
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 4: Uh.

134
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: The name that I was also considering with Ceedee Lamb

135
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: was because of especially what he did at the end

136
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: of the season and uh and carrying teams in the postseason.

137
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: He was wide receiver one in Week seventeen, just completely dominant.

138
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: It's thirteen catches on seventeen targets for two hundred and

139
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: twenty seven yards and a touchdown.

140
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 5: Brought me to a title. So I have to send

141
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 5: him a gift basket.

142
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: Exactly after the Cowboys buy in Week seven, Ceedee Lamb

143
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: finished as a top three wide receiver on the week

144
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: five times, along with a wide receiver five finish and

145
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: nine to ten. Yeah, it just just absolutely dominant. And

146
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: when you had you look at like the top of

147
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: wide receivers this year, and yeah, Justin Jefferson was great

148
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: out of the gate, and then he got hurt, and

149
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: especially when he came back, he still wasn't putting up

150
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: the normal Justin Jefferson level of production. Jamar Chase had

151
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: his issues all season. He also had his injuries, but

152
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: even when he was healthy, he wasn't you know, Joe

153
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Burrow had had his injuries and then he was up

154
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: and down with Browning. So when obviously Tyreek Hill did thrive,

155
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: and he's another name that you can go with here

156
00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: as well. But because of what Lamb especially did in

157
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: the postseason, I think that that level of production, that

158
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: jump that Ceedee Lamb gave teams, Yeah, I think it

159
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: goes without notice. He's going to be drafted very highly

160
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: next season.

161
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: I had Ceedee Lamb take me to the title game,

162
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 4: but then went up against Lamar Jackson in the championship

163
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: game and you want to talk about coming through when

164
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: it matters the most, five touchdown passes in that game,

165
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 4: and so he would be another name I would throw

166
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 4: in our likely MVP for the twenty twenty three NFL season.

167
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 4: I had Josh Allen, Dak Prescott, you know, another name,

168
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 4: but you talked about just when it showing up when

169
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: it means the most.

170
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 6: I think Lamar Jackson did that week seventeen.

171
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I throw up one other name just because it's fun.

172
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 5: In his availability for his team's playoff game in question.

173
00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 5: But Sam Laporta to become tight end number one, crazy,

174
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: just absolutely insane. What he was able to do, finishes

175
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 5: nine points. You want to guess who ended up second.

176
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 5: Evan Ingram actually got to number two with a big

177
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 5: twenty three point nine performance in Week eighteen, finishing out

178
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 5: the top five. Kelsey finished third, shocking, I know, given

179
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 5: what we saw, especially down.

180
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: The stretch because he was useless.

181
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,559
Speaker 5: Hockinson despite missing the final two games of the season,

182
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 5: and then George Kittle was fifth.

183
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 6: Oh interesting, geez.

184
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: And these this all goes into my idea where I

185
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: think that ultimately this was the season of searching, because

186
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: if you look back on the fantasy season and the

187
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: NFL season as a whole, throughout much of the season,

188
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: we had this constant discussion of who is the MVP,

189
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: and people were kind of like, well, I guess it's

190
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy, and then for a while it was I

191
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: guess it's Lamar Jackson, and then Lamar Jackson really shined

192
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks, You're like, Okay, it's definitely Lamar Jackson.

193
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: But overall, especially from a fantasy perspective, it was a

194
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: lot of us going like, well, Mahomes is gonna step

195
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 1: up eventually, right, like Mahomes and Kelsey's gonna cash at

196
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: some point, like you know, are Like I mentioned with

197
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: guys like Jamar Chase and Tony Pollard or Saquan or

198
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: all of these guys, A lot of guys, especially at

199
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: the top of drafts. You went throughout the season kind

200
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 1: of riding a roller coaster with plenty of guys, and

201
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: the names that we've mentioned are are guys who carried teams,

202
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: and it didn't feel like there were as many this

203
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: year as there have been in years past. It felt

204
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: like a lot of a lot of your more reliable

205
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: starters would disappear for many times on end, and you

206
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: kind of had to really ride a roller coaster throughout

207
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: the season if you didn't have a McCaffrey or a

208
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill or a Ceedee Lamb. So yeah, I think overall,

209
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: it feels like it was the season and of searching

210
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: in the NFL because the guys that you expected to

211
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: have huge production did sometimes but not all the time,

212
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: and because of that, numbers were kind of all over

213
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: the place.

214
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 4: One other point I want to bring out, because we

215
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: have the Tommy DeVito era, we had the Josh Dobbs era,

216
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 4: and that's more of general fantasy stuff or excuse me,

217
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 4: general NFL for fantasy purposes.

218
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 6: I think there was the devon Ah chan Era where they.

219
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 4: Remember those three weeks, how great they were. And you know,

220
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 4: Raheem Moster goes on and scores eighteen touchdowns this season.

221
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 4: But after a chan did what he did against the Broncos,

222
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 4: you know, I was ready to say, you know, goodbye

223
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 4: Raheem Mostert. But I mean the three the three weeks

224
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 4: of eighteen carries two oh three, eight carries one oh one,

225
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: and eleven carries one fifty one and then the knee

226
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 4: injury pops up and have five touchdowns just on the

227
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 4: ground in that, you know, in those three games. I mean,

228
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 4: that's for all the insanity moments that maybe maybe have

229
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 4: been the most because that was crazy. He actually looked,

230
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: you know, pretty spry against the Bills in the regular

231
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 4: season finale, But that three week stretch, maybe he would

232
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: have taken over McCaffrey if he just would have stayed hel.

233
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 5: Just insane, right, he missed, let's call it for sake

234
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,679
Speaker 5: of argument. Half the season still finished RB twenty one

235
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 5: in PPR League. He was literally two point eight points

236
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 5: behind Nauji Harris.

237
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 6: Wow.

238
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: I believe he was still kind of like running back

239
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: ten or something. When he returned from his injury, like

240
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: he was at an insanely high level even then, because yeah,

241
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: people just weren't catching up to those gigantic production games.

242
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: In my Dynasty league, I actually offered because it's my

243
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: first season of Dynasty. My team was doing incredible well.

244
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: I had Devon a Chan and I actually, while he

245
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: was injured, I offered him Devon a Chan and a

246
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: first rounder for Christian McCaffrey. And I'm like, on one hand,

247
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to gauge because I've never done Dynasty before.

248
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, either I'm giving up way too much or

249
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm giving up not enough at all, And i have

250
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: no idea, but I'm just gonna go for he never

251
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: touched it. That never happened, and the guy McAffrey ended

252
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: up winning the title, So you know, there you go.

253
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, one last name Fellas. We'd be remiss if we

254
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 5: didn't bring up the greatness that was Kyraen Williams. Another

255
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 5: guy who missed time with injury, still finishes as RB four.

256
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 4: That offense, too, can provide a lot for you. That's

257
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 4: why cam Akers was so hot, right, Todd Gurley, I mean,

258
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 4: now you think of next year in what the Rams

259
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: could be in building, and this was a I don't

260
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 4: want to say it was a year too late because

261
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 4: it's not right. But we thought Kyrien Williams maybe was

262
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: going to be the guy last year and like, hey,

263
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 4: look out for you know, and then the Rams had

264
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 4: such an abysmal season. But yeah, he was really good

265
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: in the second half of the year. And then he

266
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 4: came back off of that injury.

267
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, standard number four, PPR number seven. But you look

268
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 5: at I mean again, that's putting you into you know, McCaffrey.

269
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 5: Then Breise Hall again, three three huge weeks, make that

270
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 5: atn Rashad White, Raheem Mostert despite missing two games and

271
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 5: parts of others. Joe Mixon, would you guys have believe

272
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 5: that one?

273
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: No?

274
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 6: No?

275
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 5: And then Kyan Williams, Wow, I know, Bijon is still

276
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 5: number nine, guys.

277
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 6: I cannot.

278
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 4: I cannot give Bjon any award considering how high I

279
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 4: think I was and so many were on his season.

280
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 6: And then you know, Arthur.

281
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: Blame him, Arthur Smiths.

282
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 4: Arthur's Arthur's theme is don't play my star running back,

283
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 4: fake injury reports.

284
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 6: Whatever the heck that was burst you were gonna say something.

285
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: I was just wrapping up the thoughts on Kyen Williams.

286
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: I know I've mentioned it a couple times here, but

287
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: to close it out, the team that I had Karen

288
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: Williams on, I picked him up after Week one. The

289
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: finishing record is without Karen Williams on my roster, I

290
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: was zero to six. I was ten and one with

291
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: Kyen Williams.

292
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: On my roster.

293
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: So that's yeah, I'll be keeping him in that league,

294
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: and that's that's very exciting.

295
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 6: All right.

296
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: Well, I look back at the twenty twenty three fantasy

297
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 4: season continues next plus later on Harmon's going to give

298
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 4: us some rankings and some numbers if you're gonna play

299
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 4: daily fantasy during the playoffs. He's Mike Carmen, Ryan Bursching,

300
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 4: our executive producers here, I'm Dan Byer. It's all next

301
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 4: year on wire Flex. Welcome back to i wyre Flex.

302
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 4: This is maybe my favorite exercise of the year when

303
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 4: we blow your mind and you find out really how

304
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: good certain players stat up against others in the NFL.

305
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 4: And he's Mike Carmen. Ryan Bersinger is the executive producer.

306
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 4: He's here as well. And guys, we talk about the

307
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 4: thousand yard mark as it not being what it once was,

308
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 4: and it's definitely true when it comes to the seventeen

309
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 4: game schedule. But we kind of laid some names down earlier,

310
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: some surprising numbers when we were talking about the season

311
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 4: of blank. But if I were to ask you to

312
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 4: guess a number of how many thousand yard rushers there

313
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 4: were in the NFL this past year, by the way,

314
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what my guess was. Before I even

315
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 4: looked it up. I thought there were five. I thought

316
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: that the five runners had gotten a thousand yards. Would

317
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: you have a guess at how many guys got a

318
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 4: thousand yards this past year?

319
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 5: What's funny is I had for my Sunday show with

320
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 5: Bucky Bucky Brooks that I do the funding for those unaware. Obviously,

321
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 5: you guys know who the hell Bucky is. I was

322
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 5: looking looking up milestones right kind of like yeah, talking points,

323
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 5: and I knew there were like eight guys within range,

324
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 5: but I never actually looked at how many pet actually

325
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 5: crossed it.

326
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 3: Sure, so my guess would have been somewhere in that

327
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: six to eight range.

328
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, that's what I would say as well, because

329
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: I had saw it a couple weeks ago, like like

330
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, there was like three or four guys

331
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: that were there, and so I'd figure that maybe one

332
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: or two of them got past it.

333
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 6: So the number ended up being twelve.

334
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 4: Twelve and that's not bad, all right, but eleven of

335
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 4: those twelve finished between eleven hundred and sixty seven yards

336
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 4: and one thousand.

337
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 6: And five yards. Nice.

338
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 4: Now we know that Breece Hall is not a part

339
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,719
Speaker 4: of that group, as we talked about last segment, because

340
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 4: the Jets can't do math brutal, but it is amazing

341
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 4: to think that we had one running back this year

342
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 4: have over twelve hundred yards rushing and it's it's why,

343
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 4: it's one of the many reasons on why Emmett's Smith's

344
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 4: all time rushing and Mike knows this because we've done

345
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 4: shows for years.

346
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:05,959
Speaker 6: That is the untouchable record in sports.

347
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 3: Oh it's Demagio.

348
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 4: You are no one is going to top Emmitt Smith's

349
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 4: career rushing mark because of numbers like that that we

350
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 4: just mentioned that only one person that was Christian McCaffrey,

351
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 4: you had over fourteen hundred yards, and of how we

352
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 4: value running backs like so you take that, you know,

353
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 4: double whammy and there's no way running backs are getting close,

354
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 4: and it's maybe why Adrian Peterson played for nineteen different teams,

355
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 4: you know, at the end of his career and trying

356
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 4: to move up that list. But even then you couldn't

357
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 4: do it, Like like EMMITTT. Smith's record is safe. And

358
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 4: this past season is a perfect example of why where

359
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 4: number two eleven hundred and sixty.

360
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 6: Seven yards this year? It's crazy And it was Derrick Henry.

361
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: I was I was gonna say, I think Derrick Henry

362
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: is the example of showing like why that that record

363
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: is attainable because coming into this season, yeah, we all

364
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: knew that he's reaching age thirty, and we know that

365
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: running backs heavily decline at this point. But coming into

366
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 1: the season, we're all like, well, Derek Henry's got to

367
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: be the exception of that, right, Like he's he's a freak.

368
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: Sure he had the weird thing with his foot, but

369
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: he's he's an absolute monster. And for much of the

370
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: season he was, especially over the last few weeks, just

371
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: just nothing. And then in Week eighteen, he goes off

372
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: like crazy. But but coming into that.

373
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 3: Week, he does that against that squad every time out.

374
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: It's true, but that was how he was against the

375
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: Texans though coming into this season, and he got shut

376
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 1: down by the Texans at the end of the season.

377
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think that's never going to happen because

378
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: it's just it's the teams operate don't operate that way anymore,

379
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: and the fact that the running backs that shelf life

380
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: is just not what it used to be.

381
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 5: Well, and think about it for this year, guys, is

382
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,959
Speaker 5: the all the we're gonna hold out and screw you club?

383
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 5: They all sucked.

384
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, yep, right.

385
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 5: I mean Pollard got to the thousand yard fine, but

386
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 5: you start going going down with Josh Jacob's Austin Eckler,

387
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 5: what do you have eleven carries ten yards or was

388
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 5: it ten for eleven yeah or whatever? In his final

389
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 5: and look the last month it was all just about

390
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 5: his incentives that he was trying to reach, clearly not

391
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 5: getting any closer to that, keep going going down. Barkley

392
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 5: had a nice finish to the year. He finishes thirty

393
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 5: eight yards shy of a thousand for the year, and

394
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,400
Speaker 5: now he's already saying, well, if you're gonna do it,

395
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 5: just slap the tag on me and let's move on

396
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 5: kind of thing. But like, if you have that impass

397
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 5: of trying to fight for for deals. None of these

398
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 5: guys helped the case.

399
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 6: No, not at all.

400
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 4: No, I mean Eckler, you know, heck didn't even we

401
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 4: didn't think they wanted him. And you know, I always

402
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 4: said San Diego, like I'm still in that mode, like.

403
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 3: Really they didn't want to marry either.

404
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 6: It's true, yeah, you know.

405
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 4: And the Taylor thing, like even when Jonathan Taylor came

406
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,719
Speaker 4: back and then was out Zach moss Apropos, he was fine,

407
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 4: you know, like just another reason of why and you know,

408
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 4: and there was such a you know, hubbub of of

409
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley. Now it may be different because the Giants

410
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 4: just have nothing but trash, you know, in his return,

411
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 4: but yeah, I mean you know, even then, like yeah,

412
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 4: it's a struggle you know for him to do you know, anything,

413
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 4: like his days were saved because of receptions and busted

414
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 4: plays and touchdowns if they ever were to get in

415
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 4: the red zone because nobody else was scoring.

416
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 6: But yeah, that was about it.

417
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 4: It's truly just about anybody who And I don't even

418
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 4: I don't even think he benefited from it, Like they

419
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 4: didn't win. He just added another year of wearing terror

420
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 4: on his body. So yeah, I think your point's well taken.

421
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean workload splits plus the number of quarterbacks

422
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 5: that take care of their own business. Look at we

423
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 5: talked about DeAndre Swift before all right, yardage, but goal

424
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 5: line was all in Jalen Hurts, you know, going oing

425
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 5: to the fantasy of course, but just in general, I

426
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 5: mean they had three other guys not nearly as good,

427
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 5: but still at the ready and most teams, right Dan,

428
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 5: you're You're Seahawks when you look at Charbonne and alongside

429
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 5: Kenneth Walker the third the Bears with Hey shuffle up

430
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 5: a deal whoever's healthy on a given week and moving

431
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 5: on down the line.

432
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 1: And look at what happened with Josh Jacobs at the

433
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: end of the season as well. The second he got hurt.

434
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: SA mere White was pretty dang good.

435
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was ready.

436
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: So that certainly doesn't bode well for Jacobs and for

437
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: us as fantasy owners. We got to be on the

438
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: lookout because I think that it was a mere White

439
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,879
Speaker 1: could be in line to take a huge step Fortnite season.

440
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 6: That's for another day.

441
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 4: That that's because when Jason Stewart on the it was

442
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 4: the Thursday Night game when he when uh, wasn't it

443
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: when against Uh?

444
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 6: Should they play on the Thursday night a few weeks

445
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 6: the Chargers?

446
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 3: Wasn't it?

447
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 6: Was it? Okay? Yeah? Yeah?

448
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 4: And that was his debut. Jason's like do I go

449
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 4: as Mere White? And I was just kind of like whatever,

450
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 4: you know, like like because that's just like it didn't matter,

451
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: like and I know that didn't transition on radio, but

452
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 4: I did a gesture with my hands like, you know,

453
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 4: go right ahead. Yeah, maybe you should have. Yeah, maybe

454
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 4: you shouldn't should have gone right ahead. The other interesting

455
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 4: names in this one thousand yard club Najie Harris, which

456
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 4: I think we knew about because the Steelers were making

457
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 4: a big deal about it.

458
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 6: Right, you know.

459
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 4: And James Connor in only thirteen games, but if you

460
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 4: watch the Cardinals you saw how effective he was. But yeah,

461
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: the Tony Pollard thing. I had Tony Pollard this year

462
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 4: and you know he had his long run was thirty

463
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: one yards.

464
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 6: Like that's just you know, like, what are we doing?

465
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 4: It? Just a what a mess? Nagie Harris's long run

466
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 4: was twenty five. I do have just I have it

467
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 4: right in front of me, and those two number stuck out.

468
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 4: But yeah, just a what a what a crappy year?

469
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 4: Like we used to be excited when you'd get a

470
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 4: thousand yard rusher card in your top track. And now

471
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 4: if I got a Tony Pollard thousand yard rusher, just

472
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 4: throw it in the trash because it all just reminds

473
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: me of how he doomed my fantasy team for a while.

474
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, you literally need to average fifty five yards a

475
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 5: week to get to a thousand.

476
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's all it is.

477
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 5: Right, Once upon a time you at least had to

478
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 5: crack sixty. Dan, You don't even have to get.

479
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:31,919
Speaker 6: There anymore, No, you don't.

480
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 5: But it shows, hey, some level of workloads, some level

481
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 5: of efficiency. But yeah, certainly doesn't have the same juice

482
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,879
Speaker 5: that it once did. And yes, I have plenty of

483
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 5: those mid eighties thousand yard Clubs cards sitting around. I

484
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 5: got a nice Jerry Rice. It only came back a

485
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 5: PSA eight.

486
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 4: Mmm, I remember, I remember I got a Bill Brooks

487
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 4: nice Yeah, from the Indianapolis Colts.

488
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 6: Don't worry, Burset, you don't have to remember it.

489
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, these are some were these were these Put

490
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,479
Speaker 4: it this way, you probably know Bill Brooks's name more

491
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 4: than some of the thousand yard rushers we.

492
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 6: Had this year.

493
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 4: No, I'm kidding, but you know, like you know, like

494
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: like Rashad White, you know, it came on for the Buccaneers.

495
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 6: He didn't even crack the thousand yard mark. So I

496
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 6: don't even know what to make of it.

497
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 4: But yeah, the names, just to quick run it down,

498
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 4: Christian McCaffrey fourteen fifty nine, and then it was Derrick

499
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 4: Henry with eleven sixty seven, Kyron Williams, James Cook, DeAndre Swift,

500
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 4: James Conner, Najee Harris, Joe Mixon, David Montgomery where heee Mostered,

501
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 4: Travis etn and Tony Pollard. Yeah, that's a that's a

502
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 4: sad state of affairs. Receivers. You guys want to take

503
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 4: a guess?

504
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go, all right.

505
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 4: The receivers, not ten, not twenty twenty eight receivers went.

506
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 6: Over thousand yards this best season. Yes, twenty seven wand receivers.

507
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 4: One tight end, that's what we had, no running backs,

508
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 4: and no running backs top th thousand yard mark, and

509
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 4: the only tight end to do it was George Kittle.

510
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 6: Terry McLaurin was our last one. One thousand and.

511
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 4: Two yards in cracking the thousand yard list, and the

512
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 4: one who just missed out, the aforementioned Travis Kelcey nine

513
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 4: eight four this year. But yeah, he had twenty eight

514
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 4: different names cracked the thousand.

515
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 6: Yard mark for a reason.

516
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 3: That's insane.

517
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and and some interesting names as well. Chris

518
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 4: Godwin got in, which I would not thought that the Buccaneers.

519
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 6: Would have two thousand yard receivers again, but they did.

520
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: George Pickens because of course he did, you know, of

521
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 4: course eleven he actually was sixteenth.

522
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 6: Wow. Yeah.

523
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 4: And then DeAndre Hopkins cracked a thousand yards that yeah,

524
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 4: he tied for actually twenty first place, one fifty seven yards.

525
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 6: So there's just some of the names.

526
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 4: Nico Collins obviously you know up there, number eight, your

527
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 4: boy DJ Moore, Mike was sixth, but Ceedee Lamban obviously

528
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill number one where you were your main guys.

529
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 4: But twenty eight different thousand yard receivers we had this

530
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 4: past season.

531
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is an insane number one of them. I

532
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 5: know Garrett Wilson got there. What do you think, guys,

533
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 5: he's given up the number seventy to go to number five?

534
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:19,120
Speaker 3: What do you think?

535
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 6: I like it? Yes, I am down with it.

536
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,360
Speaker 5: Because maybe Aaron Rodgers can get a former teammate there

537
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 5: to the Jets that can actually still play for them.

538
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 4: Oh, there you go. I didn't even put two and

539
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 4: two together, so that makes a little sense.

540
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a crazy list.

541
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 6: I thought he was just going to his college numbers.

542
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 5: So that's well, I mean maybe maybe, but you know,

543
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 5: it sets up a how much can I get? I mean,

544
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 5: he's not going to get a fancy car like showe heyo,

545
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 5: TONI gave to you know, Kelly's Kelly's wife or anything.

546
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 6: But you know, you know it isn't interesting.

547
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 4: No though, Like now that you just mention it, like

548
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 4: next year training camp for the New York Jets is

549
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,200
Speaker 4: going to be miserable because because it was what a ride,

550
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 4: It was what a you know, like a high wire act.

551
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 4: And now you're just like, Okay, we can't have nice things,

552
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 4: we can't pretend to have nice things because things go

553
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 4: wrong with us in the regular season.

554
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 6: I gu it's just.

555
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 4: Gonna be misery for a month, hoping nobody gets hurt.

556
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:18,959
Speaker 4: And then when the regular season starts, you're sitting all right,

557
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 4: how they're gonna.

558
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 6: You know, curse us again? But oh Man. Thank goodness.

559
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 5: I'm not a Jets fan, but Aaron said that there's

560
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 5: no bs this year.

561
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 6: Dan, Yeah, that's true.

562
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 5: And then Jimmy Carroll laid him out in a monologue

563
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 5: on Monday Night. So you know, it's all the fun

564
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 5: spinning into the off season.

565
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: By the way, fascinating thing about Garret Wilson, first receiver

566
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 1: in NFL history to record over three hundred targets through

567
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: the first two years in the NFL.

568
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 6: Really did he get a pass break up?

569
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 4: Because didn't he break up the Zach Wilson like almost

570
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 4: interception in Week one? I remember, I know he was

571
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 4: on offense, but I thought he got a pass breakup PBu.

572
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 3: That would be good. Yeah, then look it, man, I'm versatile.

573
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 6: Pay me, oh man.

574
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 4: George Pickens got his one thousand yards on one hundred

575
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 4: and six targets, justin Jefferson obviously one hundred targets because

576
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 4: of the limited games. George Kittle broke it on ninety targets.

577
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 4: Jayalen Waddle did it on one hundred and four targets.

578
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 4: Brandon Ayuka one hundred and five thirteen hundred and forty

579
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 4: two yards on one hundred and five targets.

580
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 6: Crazy.

581
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'm baby.

582
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Amari Cooper made it.

583
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 4: So they're just just you know, these names that pop

584
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 4: up in the thousand yard clubs. I just always find

585
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 4: it interesting and love to break it down because it

586
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: was a magical It was a magical number at one point,

587
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 4: and now it's it's almost everybody and their mother gets in.

588
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: But then you see the names that are just on

589
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 4: the outside looking in. Jordan Addison didn't make it. Were

590
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 4: she Rice Evan you mentioned a little bit earlier.

591
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 6: He was right.

592
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 4: Behind Travis Kelcey at nine to sixty three? So yeah,

593
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 4: some interesting Intebo. Samuel did not break a thousand yards

594
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 4: eight hundred and ninety two for this season.

595
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 5: How about one more fun with numbers? Four thousand yards?

596
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 5: All right, we got six guys as rookies have done it.

597
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 3: Who are they?

598
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 6: Okay say that again?

599
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 5: So six players in NFL history, six rookie quarterbacks have

600
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 5: thrown for at least four thousand yards.

601
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 3: Who are they?

602
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 6: Oh? Boy, Stroud's gotta be one of them.

603
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

604
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 5: Actually, actually I'm giving a credit to a guy who's

605
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 5: the first year starter. So I screwed that up. It's

606
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 5: only five, So Stroud joined four guys. One of them

607
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 5: was kind of surprising, even with a big year. Did

608
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 5: he got to four thousand?

609
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 1: Did Justin Herbert do it?

610
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 3: Herbert did it?

611
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 6: Did Manning?

612
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 3: Nope?

613
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 6: Uh? I always four thousand interceptions is rookie?

614
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: Did Big Ben do it?

615
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 3: Nope?

616
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 6: Marino nope. Gosh, it's got to be.

617
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 4: Recent guys, because guys, yeah, oh man, I am completely,

618
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 4: I'm completely one of them.

619
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 3: Was a big news story this week.

620
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 6: Oh Flacco, no, why why? I'm sorry. My days just

621
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 6: all run together.

622
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: That's that's the thing.

623
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 5: The once you have the child, you have no idea

624
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 5: what day it is. You just get up and do

625
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 5: it again. So we got Stroud.

626
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 6: Good. We are not going to play fast money.

627
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 5: I can tell you that much because I was trying

628
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 5: to give credit to Sam Howell, but he was technically

629
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 5: a second year ago.

630
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 6: Oh okay, but there.

631
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 3: Are three others, all in the last de well decade.

632
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:00,120

00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 6: Decade plus.

00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 3: So go back to the beginning of last the last decade.

Speaker 6: Yeah, and I'm Josh Allen Nope, Jamis.

636

00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:20,480

643
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 5: I just got all excited because we got Sam Howel

644
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 5: to a four thousand and the Stroud number had already

645
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 5: gotten there by the time I did the show Sunday morning.

646
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 3: So I was like, that's kind of cool.

647
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 5: Wow, And then all the talk of hey, Ron Rivera's

648
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,440

00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 5: you got a guy that.

650
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:03,800
Speaker 3: Threw for four thousand yards.

651
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 5: Nobody's ever cared less about a guy throwing for four

652
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 5: thousand yards than Sam holl hitting that mark this year.

653
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 4: Well, you know, now they're in the business for drafting

654
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 4: a quarterback because of where they are.

655
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 6: Ye think he also led the league in interceptions, didn't

656
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 6: he think?

657
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 3: I think that is correct?

658
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Josh Allen at eighteen, but Howla did twenty one.

659
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts was third in the league in interceptions with

660
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 4: fifteen of them. And you know, you want to know

661
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 4: who tied for tied for fourth, Patrick Mahomes to a

662
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 4: tongue of my Lowa and Trevor Lawrence all with fourteen interceptions.

663
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 4: So yeah, yeah, interesting, interesting numbers.

664
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 6: All right? That was fun, those fun of numbers games.

665
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 2: Fun.

666
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, We're gonna get down to the brass tacks.

667
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 4: The six playoff games, quick thoughts on each and then

668
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 4: Harmon's gonna give you some numbers on him. He's Mike Carmon,

669
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 4: That's Ryan Berschinger. I'm Dan Byer. It's all next year

670
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 4: and I want your flex, all right. Super wild Card

671
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 4: weekend is on the Horizon. Six games Browns Texans on

672
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 4: Saturday afternoon, then on Peacock Dolphins, Chiefs, then the triple

673
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 4: header on Sunday, Steelers at the Bills, Packers at the Cowboys,

674
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 4: and the Lions entertained the Rams, and then on Monday

675
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 4: we wrap up with Eagles Buccaneers. Are you guys good

676
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 4: with this slate? Eagles Buccaneers doesn't do anything for me.

677
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 4: The other five games due well, maybe not Pittsburgh Buffalo

678
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 4: because I just if the College Football Payoff Committee had

679
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 4: any stand at Pittsburgh would not be in the postseason.

680
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 6: But they are.

681
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm not too keen on the early game

682
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 4: Sunday and not too keen on Monday. But everything else,

683
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:36,959
Speaker 4: I'm totally Game four.

684
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the Buffalo spread keeps ballooning started at

685
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 5: seven and a half. Last I saw it was nine

686
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,360
Speaker 5: and a half, but the total was still just thirty

687
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 5: five and a half. To tell you where we're at there,

688
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,919
Speaker 5: see if Mason Rudolph can just chuck up some moon

689
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 5: balls along the way. Philadelphia is interesting, just going back

690
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 5: to the general sports talk because people are starting to

691
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 5: already become disgrundled with Siriani despite a Super Bowl appearance,

692
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 5: you know, and everything else. Just the collapse down the stretch.

693
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 5: Certainly there we've got Flacco and Stroud, that's fun and exciting.

694
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 5: Kansas City did a week off fix anything, and which

695
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 5: members of the Dolphins will actually be available for duty

696
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 5: is moderately entertaining. And let's face it, Jared Goff versus

697
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 5: Matthew Stafford in those upstart plucky Yeah he said, plucky

698
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 5: Los Angeles rams.

699
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, that's kind of fun.

700
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I saw that.

701
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 4: You know, Stafford's wife posted this video of Stafford looking

702
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 4: back at his time.

703
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 6: It was nine minutes long.

704
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got I started it. I stopped after a minute.

705
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 6: I'm done.

706
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 4: I stopped at three thirty eight because I'm like, okay,

707
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 4: this thing must be wrapping up. And then I'm like,

708
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 4: I'm not even halfway done, and I go in all reality,

709
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 4: guess what, I am one hundred percent done, and so

710
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 4: then I moved off of it.

711
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 6: I don't know how it ends. I'll read the book

712
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 6: or something. I have no idea he reading that book.

713
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 4: She's like, all right, like nine minutes long, Like, what

714
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 4: are we doing here?

715
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 5: It's a lot of years to wrap up, though, Dan,

716
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 5: I mean when you put it in the auto generator

717
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 5: to just say, create me a story with these you know,

718
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 5: many years that I got my ass kids.

719
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 4: And it was bad enough because the Lions are getting

720
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 4: new uniforms next year apparently, and now there's the rumor

721
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 4: that maybe black could be making a return, and I'm

722
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 4: just like, my.

723
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 6: Goodness, please know, like just keep it.

724
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,720
Speaker 4: So it was just and in those montages they showed,

725
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 4: you know, some of the black jerseys that the Lions

726
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 4: wore in the past, and so that was too much

727
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 4: to deal with. But yeah, I think that that should

728
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 4: be fine. I really hope the Lions actually win though,

729
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 4: Like I I don't have a team, and the Seahawks

730
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 4: didn't make the postseason, so I don't care. I'm not

731
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 4: ruining against anyone, oh kind of San Francisco, to be honest,

732
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 4: but you know, like I do want the Lions to

733
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 4: win that game. I don't know how you guys feel

734
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 4: about it, but you know, and to my point, you know,

735
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 4: I the Dolphins may have to put us on defense

736
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 4: considering how many pieces they are now missing, but I

737
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 4: don't know if it's gonna make too much of a

738
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 4: difference considering Kansas City can't get out of their own way.

739
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 4: But remember that game in Germany was what like seventeen

740
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 4: to ten or you know, it was just, you know,

741
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 4: a touchdown game.

742
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 6: There wasn't much to it.

743
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 4: There was that weird Tyreek Hill turnover, but we could

744
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 4: see much of the same on Sunday. But one of

745
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 4: those teams going home is not something in the first weekend.

746
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 4: Was not something that that I thought would happen, you know,

747
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 4: a month or two ago when we were looking at

748
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 4: the playoff picture then.

749
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 6: But that's what's gonna happen. So that's intriguing to me

750
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 6: at least.

751
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 5: Well, and obviously Bursch is all excited because his Packers.

752
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 3: Made the dance. Yeah, I picked him to win the division.

753
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 5: They let me down there, and then the Bears rolled

754
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,840
Speaker 5: over and played dead in a game that mattered against

755
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 5: the Packers.

756
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 3: Once again, go figure.

757
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 4: Out, do you think they have a chance? Burst, Like,

758
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 4: do you think that they have a chance to go

759
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 4: there and win that game?

760
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,240
Speaker 1: I do, but it more so has to do with

761
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: the thought that the Cowboys could beat themselves. Otherwise, I'm

762
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: assuming the Cowboys are gonna win this game, and that's

763
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: that's fine. Like the Packers making the playoffs this season

764
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: and Jordan Love looking good is kind of the best

765
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: case scenario for what the season was gonna be. So

766
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm good with it. Like, I'm very happy with the

767
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: way because I you know, I go back to that

768
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: conversation we had in the edit room a couple of

769
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: months ago when they were like losing to the Chargers

770
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: and you asked me, do you want them to win

771
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 1: this game? And I'm like, no, I don't think they're

772
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,919
Speaker 1: gonna win out and they've they've been great since then,

773
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: so you know what, No, this is this is great.

774
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: Love has looked fantastic over the last month, and it's

775
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: not a great spot for them having to go to

776
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: Dallas facing a very strong defense. But you know, you

777
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: can always kind of hope that the Cowboys might beat themselves.

778
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: So that's that's what I'm backing on.

779
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 6: I think that's fair. I think that's a very fair assessment.

780
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 5: Well, I mean because then it becomes the Mike McCarthy right,

781
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 5: because on it, all of his appearances, Jerry Jones didn't

782
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 5: exactly endorse the fact that he'd be back.

783
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they.

784
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 5: Gotta worry about are you gonna lose Dan Quinn? What

785
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 5: else happens? And does he bring back Kellen Moore?

786
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 3: Man? What what the hell happened?

787
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 5: That's to Kellen Moore? He's been left alone here in

788
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,160
Speaker 5: Los Angeles. But you know, for me, guys, I will

789
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 5: say this. It gives me the victory lap of Jordan

790
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 5: Love making the playoffs because I defended that pick. Since

791
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 5: the day had happened. They should have gotten a receiver.

792
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 5: They should have done this. Yeah, they should have punted,

793
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 5: they should have done any like. No, go back and

794
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 5: look at Huntley and how bad he was on a

795
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 5: good team and what happened when Rogers had gotten hurt before?

796
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 3: All Right, I'll stop my diet.

797
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 4: You know, here's my question to you, Mike, and this

798
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 4: is a legitimate question. Would you rather have Justin Fields

799
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,240
Speaker 4: or Jordan Love as your quarterback?

800
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:52,479
Speaker 3: Love?

801
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 6: I agree with.

802
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 4: That, and I think that, like, as the Bears are

803
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 4: trying to sort all of this out, I think they

804
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 4: need to ask themselves that question, you know, in terms

805
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 4: of like trying to figure out what to do. And

806
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 4: it's not an A or B situation. I mean, you

807
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 4: have multiple things that you could do with Chicago at

808
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 4: that first overall pick. But since we're talking about Jordan Love,

809
00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 4: it's kind of how I was viewing because there's, you know,

810
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 4: so much talk about what to do at number one

811
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 4: and do you keep fields? Do you not keep fields?

812
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,720
Speaker 4: And if he was the second best quarterback on the field,

813
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 4: you know, on Sunday, I'm guessing maybe that's your answer

814
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 4: at least as it comes to him not drafting a

815
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:33,959
Speaker 4: quarterback or just just of but how you view him,

816
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 4: you know where he is right now, I think maybe

817
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 4: that's your answer and how Chicago should proceed.

818
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, they need an exorcism for anything having

819
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 5: to do with the Packers anyway, because it's a lifetime

820
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 5: of misery for me, in head to head matchups, it's

821
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 5: just been ridiculous, ridiculously lopsided.

822
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 3: You know, when they talk rivalries, that's not a rivalry.

823
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 5: Get our ass kicked twice a year, occasionally play well

824
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,280
Speaker 5: enough to steal one, but those in few and far between.

825
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 5: As you go, I mean, Aaron Rodgers still a time share,

826
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 5: allegedly even texted Jordan Love go beat those guys before

827
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 5: the game. But for fields like it's the it's the

828
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 5: great debate and all of it. Right, what do you

829
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 5: want behind what's behind door? Number two? Are you convinced

830
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 5: that any of these guys are the quote unquote generational guy?

831
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 5: Because I'm sure as hell not. I mean a lot

832
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 5: of what made Caleb Williams special at USC is what

833
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 5: made Justin Field special in college and what has given

834
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 5: him some big, flashy moments here in the pros. And

835
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 5: I think Luke gets he's terrible. He's probably gonna be

836
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 5: fired by by time this maybe even airs as we

837
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 5: take this late on a Monday, early Tuesday morning. But

838
00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 5: DJ Moore made it clear what he wants. Teammates have

839
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 5: made it all clear what they want. But you know, again,

840
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 5: the way the league works when you can reset the

841
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 5: salary of the quarterback and all that stuff. I understand

842
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 5: the business side of it. I just don't know that

843
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 5: you're finding a player in this raft that's any better.

844
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 3: Right.

845
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 5: Michael Pennix Junior was everybody's darling in the game. After

846
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 5: the game against Texas, anybody wanted to try to get

847
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 5: him in the top five to ten right now after

848
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 5: watching him get bullied around by Michigan, Yeah, I don't

849
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 5: think so. So it's one of those things like be

850
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 5: careful what you wish for.

851
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 6: Yeah. That also comes from a lot of people who

852
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 6: watched one college football game of his, you know, and

853
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 6: all Texas. Oh yeah, jeez great.

854
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 3: You know right, No, exactly right.

855
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 5: If you watched it, a lot of close calls and

856
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 5: this is the first time you face the defense that

857
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 5: was swarming around.

858
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,840
Speaker 3: I mean, Pac twelve not exactly known for defense.

859
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:36,080
Speaker 6: Dan.

860
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 4: He also doesn't run. No, we have to be able

861
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 4: to move correct, like you know, that's part of it

862
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,360
Speaker 4: as well. So anyway, all right, let's get to some

863
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 4: daily fantasy numbers for people that try to cash in

864
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 4: on they want to play daily fantasy during Wildcard weekend.

865
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 6: What are some numbers you like?

866
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 5: Mike well, I've thrown up some of the fun and

867
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 5: excitement of our traditional top fives.

868
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 3: So we got Alan, I've got Mahomes.

869
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 5: Number two just says we've got a couple of explosive

870
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 5: plays that come jumping in, which means for fantasy purposes

871
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 5: and daily. I'm looking at Rashi Rice as a guy

872
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 5: that I want in my lineups as well. Another one

873
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 5: of those guys. As we go back down our list,

874
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 5: Dan not too far off the thousand yard mark for

875
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 5: the year, despite the you know, obvious inefficiencies in that offense.

876
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 5: Dak going up against Green Bay. This is not the

877
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 5: Bears offense coming at you, Bush. They'll be a bit

878
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 5: more explosive in getting after it. Jared Goff going up

879
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 5: against the Rams. You know, just going traditional rankings here, sir.

880
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 5: And then we add a little bit of the CJ.

881
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 5: Stroud against Cleveland. I don't know that we get a

882
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 5: scoring fest. This one's at forty four and a half.

883
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 5: It's a little higher total than I would have expected

884
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 5: given the strength of d And then we got Joe

885
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 5: Flacco on the other side. But the offense there from

886
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 5: the running back position, I think you're probably going to

887
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 5: be able to because we did the numbers on Tony

888
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 5: Pollard for daily purposes. Maybe a little bit of value

889
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 5: Aaron Jones, because we don't have a large sample size

890
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 5: of success, you might be able to get a little

891
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 5: bit of love, particularly as he's catching the ball out

892
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 5: of the backfield against Dallas. Gibbs and Cook are one

893
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 5: and two at that position for me. And then at

894
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 5: the wide receivers. Already mentioned Rashid Rice Nikua, a guy

895
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 5: that's interesting to me.

896
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,399
Speaker 3: And then we.

897
00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,359
Speaker 5: Talked George Pickens. I'm going to go the other way

898
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 5: and say that Deontay Johnson makes a player too. You're

899
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 5: gonna get him at great value because there is absolutely

900
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 5: no trust of anything in the fun and exciting world

901
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 5: of the Pittsburgh offense.

902
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he came up big on Saturday, you know,

903
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 4: and a big play for the Steelers and that in

904
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 4: that win. And there's only so many guys that Pittsburgh

905
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 4: has to throw to. It's not like the old days

906
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 4: were you know, it is Antonio Brown and Mike Wallace

907
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 4: and and you know even.

908
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 5: Washington or yeah, any of those guys are who was

909
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 5: celebrated by the Titans in the season finale, which was

910
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 5: kind of interesting. Quick ninja plays both from Buffalo. How

911
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 5: about Leonard Fournette, question Mark maybe seeing a little bit

912
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 5: of time maybe as a receiver, and then Khalil Shakir

913
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,360
Speaker 5: just as an explosive play. Of course, this will be

914
00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 5: the day that Gabe Davis goes eight for one again.

915
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 5: But I'm gonna put Shaker because he was a big

916
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,560
Speaker 5: He was instrumental to a lot of what they did

917
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 5: against the Dolphins last week. So I think he gets

918
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 5: some reward with a little bit of explosive play trying

919
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 5: to open things up and give them some distance.

920
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 4: And it may be smart because you mentioned Gabe Davis.

921
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 4: He has the PCL injury in there's no guarantee that

922
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 4: he's going to play. The only you know, the latest

923
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 4: news that we had heard was that he hasn't been

924
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 4: ruled out of playing in that game. So if you

925
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 4: could get the value there early, I say go and

926
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 4: do it. So Burst any final thoughts for wild card weekend?

927
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: You know, normally I want to tell you to stream

928
00:45:55,560 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 1: a defense in a playoff weekend, but stream the bilsd defense.

929
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 5: That's you don't have any faith in Mason Rudolphin company.

930
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 3: What do you got, Dan? What do you what are

931
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 3: you thinking here?

932
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,719
Speaker 4: Well, you know, there's there's no survivor pick for me

933
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:25,800
Speaker 4: to uh to make, so because that contest is all done,

934
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 4: I will say this. I love Cleveland in the Texans.

935
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's great, great matchup. I

936
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 4: don't know what the Texans are gonna do. If you're gonna,

937
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 4: you know, have Denzel Ward locking up, Nico Collins and

938
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 4: Devin Singletary can't get things going. I just, for some reason,

939
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 4: have Amari Cooper flying down the sidelines, like in my head.

940
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know why I'm not, you know,

941
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 4: I have no idea, but there could be a situation

942
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 4: where and he's gonna cost a little bit.

943
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 6: But we'll put Amari Cooper on the on the dark

944
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 6: board for this.

945
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 5: H I dig that. I dig that. I mean it's

946
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 5: it goes back to the Joe Flacco thing. Since he

947
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,839
Speaker 5: took over, right, you're gonna have a lot of good,

948
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 5: You're gonna have a lot of bad. I think folks

949
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 5: have forgotten how many turnovers he actually had since he

950
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,040
Speaker 5: took over. I mean he's near to double digit interceptions sure,

951
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 5: even with sitting out Week eighteen. But for fantasy purposes.

952
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 5: That's absolute gold because he's a guy that's going to

953
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 5: keep firing.

954
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:30,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, and they were he could have thrown more.

955
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you know at times when they beat

956
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 4: the Jets and you know, the final Thursday night game

957
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 4: of the year, there were a bunch. But that's for

958
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 4: a guy who just doesn't care. You know, let's just

959
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 4: throw it. That's what you need.

960
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 3: And so I love it playing with house money.

961
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 5: Those are my favorite quarterbacks, especially down the stretch in

962
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 5: Fantasy Land.

963
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, it should be fun.

964
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 4: I mean really, then if you think of the possibilities

965
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 4: for the matchups in the following week.

966
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the NFL playoffs are rarely disappointed.

967
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 5: One for you before say goodbye the Peacock game, everybody's

968
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 5: up in arms over it's like, shut up, don't watch.

969
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 5: Then it's like, I'm sorry, here's six months.

970
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's there.

971
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 4: It's just one of those points in in in history,

972
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 4: in time where you end up making that decision. It's

973
00:48:20,440 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 4: not a big deal to me. I've had Peacock for

974
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 4: the last couple of years, you know. Now with the

975
00:48:25,760 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 4: Big Ten and sending their agreement, it's almost you know, mandatory.

976
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 4: And I remember I remember the days in burst. You

977
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 4: won't remember these days because you don't care about the

978
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 4: Big ten. But in getting the Big ten network and

979
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 4: being able to like, if there was a way that

980
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 4: I could have gotten the Big ten network in its

981
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 4: infancy living out here in California, I would have done

982
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:46,799
Speaker 4: so sure, you know, I would have you know, paid

983
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 4: any fee to be able to see that. And so

984
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 4: now that there's like an option to do that, uh yeah,

985
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 4: all right, awesome, sweet, I could just get it on

986
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 4: my smart TV and I have to watch it on

987
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 4: a small computer screen.

988
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, not not a big deal.

989
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 4: You can't look at it as like you're paying seven

990
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 4: ninety nine or whatever the cost is to watch an

991
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 4: NFL game. You have to just basically say, all right,

992
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 4: when I pay seven ninety nine for this channel, you know,

993
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 4: and that's that's how I got to look at it.

994
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 5: And if not, you move on. Yeah, you'll get updates

995
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,319
Speaker 5: on your phone and you miss it. And in the

996
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,080
Speaker 5: home cities, right, the teams that are playing it's on

997
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,760
Speaker 5: NASH regular television like it would have been any anyway,

998
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 5: Like you don't have to have peacock if you're.

999
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 3: In Kansas City.

1000
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:32,760
Speaker 6: Nope, that's correct.

1001
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 5: So yeah, the hometown fans, don't get screwed like so

1002
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 5: many people are bloviating all over the place. Get some facts.

1003
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 3: People.

1004
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 5: I like hot takes as much as the next guy,

1005
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 5: but come on, man.

1006
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,879
Speaker 4: I did watch the all the LA games that were

1007
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 4: on the streaming services just locally. It just saved me from,

1008
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 4: you know, opening up the app. But no, that's just

1009
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 4: more of a comment on how lazy I am.

1010
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 5: A hey man, you take advantage of opportunity as it

1011
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 5: knocks basic. That's the way it's gotta be.

1012
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 4: Absolutely all right, guys, that'll do it then for our
