Last week 23 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: was the last baseball show Fantasy Pros, so it is 24 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 1: only the five football shows a week.

It's 51 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: good stuff there. So I wanted to start with actually 52 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 1: a bunch of philosophical questions fantasy related, but but I 53 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: feel like I have to start with did you pour 54 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: a little bit out for Tim Tebow this morning? You know, 55 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: that's a great way of putting it gives him only 56 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: pour some out from my home. Uh listen, man, I 57 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: have great respect that Tim Tebow at this stage in 58 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: his life, who could be sitting around in a nice 59 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: air condition studio making lots of money just talking about football, 60 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: you know, like you and I do. It's so amazing 61 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: that he stills like, yeah, I want to I want 62 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 1: to play football still. I want to, I want to 63 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: change positions, I want to do all that. So I 64 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: got a lot of respect for Tim Tebow, the athlete 65 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: who just thinks that he could keep playing baseball, keep 66 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: playing football, keep doing all these things. So philosophically speaking, 67 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,120 Speaker 1: nothing but respect for the man. Obviously. Fantasy y is 68 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: if you're in any of those best ball leagues where 69 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: you saw somebody draft Tim Tebow and you chuckled, Well, 70 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: this is why, because you knew it wasn't going to happen. 71 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: So good on him forgiven the effort. Because the man 72 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: does not need to be doing this. I'm sure he's 73 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: already pretty comfortable. So yeah, I mean, I don't think 74 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: we thought it was going to end another way, but 75 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: this is the way it ended. And at least the 76 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: man went out fighting. That's all I could say about Tebow, right, 77 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: I mean he went out of fighting he did. I mean, look, 78 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: he gave it his best shot. I mean, I think 79 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 1: you're right. We sort of knew it was going to 80 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: end this way. I will say that I didn't think 81 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 1: it would end so soon. Um, you know, with the 82 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: relationship between he and urban Meyer. I really thought that 83 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: that it would last a little bit longer than we 84 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: might even get into the regular season before uh they 85 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: made the move. So I will say that I was 86 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: a little bit surprised when I woke up this morning 87 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: and I saw the news that Tim Tebow had been 88 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: released by the Jacksonville Jaguars. So um, all right. More generally, though, uh, 89 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: we we have a full We've had a full week 90 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: of preseason, plus the Hall of Fame game now under 91 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: our belt, and it's always fun to sort of watch 92 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: the reactions on Twitter when things happened and and how 93 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: players shift and move. But for you, how much stock 94 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: do you put into what we are seeing in the preseason. 95 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: Well that's always the question, right because we see a 96 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: little bit, especially in that first week, right, and we 97 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: want to over rated, especially guys who might look good 98 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: against the twos and the threes, and we always have 99 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: to keep those expectations under wraps. I think preseason is 100 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: important for some guys, you know, and more than others. 101 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: Javonte Williams a perfect example, like that's an important preseason. 102 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: We want to see him look good. He looked explosive, 103 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: he looked really good running with the ones, and he 104 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: went out a touchdown of Jerry Judy would have been 105 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: able to throw that block properly. Instead, he just kind 106 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: of whipped on. It didn't really give a great effort, 107 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: gave a tebow s kind of effort on the block there. 108 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: But you know, that's the kind of stuff that matters. 109 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: And you know, also you know when you're watching the games, 110 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: instead of let's look at the stat lines, I see 111 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: Mac Jones, who who looked pretty capable of running that 112 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: Patriots offense and had that thirty yard touchdown past been 113 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: hauled in. It was a great pass that that's a 114 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: throw Cam Newton does not make, cannot make, especially right 115 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: now in his career. Maybe arguably ever it's not really 116 00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 1: his forte. That highlight it would have gone viral would 117 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: have been a big difference, And that's that line and 118 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: maybe even change more of that perception. So for the 119 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks this year, it matters a lot because we 120 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: want to see, especially in super flex leagues, how much 121 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: that can really kind of change some of their values 122 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: there as a second or maybe third quarterback that you 123 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: want some shares of, but also what that impact is 124 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: going to be for the potential offenses they take over. 125 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: So really, this preseason, to me, the theme is the 126 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks and a few of those running backs that 127 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: were looking at very carefully. Can they make a jump 128 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 1: you know from that RB two too, maybe a low 129 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: nd RB one. How does naj look? How does Travis E. 130 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: T N look? Those kind of guys that were kind 131 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: of keeping a close eye on, not just the rookies, 132 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: but even Antonio Gibson. I think a lot of people 133 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: have a lot of high hopes for guys like that. 134 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: H Those are important preseasons just to see what the 135 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: role is. And we're gonna get a much better indicator 136 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: of that, I think in the second week of the preseason, 137 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: because next week we aren't gonna see a whole lot either. Yeah. 138 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 1: It's sort of weird too, because this is the quote 139 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: unquote dress rehearsal week coming up. What used to be 140 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: the third week where you would see your starters play 141 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: for you know, maybe a half, maybe even into the 142 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: third quarter. Now I think that comes into that second week. 143 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: But even then, you know, Joe, you look at teams 144 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: like the Rams, right, like Sean McVeigh basically just just 145 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: decided like, I'm not playing, and you know, I know 146 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: who my starters are, I know who my key players are, 147 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: and we're just not gonna see guys like Matthew Stafford 148 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: or Robert Woods, you know, in the preseason at all. Um, 149 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: But I do think there's something to sort of watch for. 150 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: I also I also feel like, you know, this is 151 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: sort of a way to uh maybe bolster confirmation bias. 152 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: I think for a lot of people, you know, like 153 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: if you you know, I love Javon Say Williams, right, 154 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: like seeing what he did this week only makes my 155 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: love stronger for him, right if if you if you 156 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: don't love a guy and he had a bad outing, 157 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 1: then suddenly you know there's no hope and there and 158 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 1: there's there's nothing that can change your mind, or at 159 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: least it's harder to change your mind about these sort 160 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: of things, which sort of I guess begs the question 161 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: now because like the fantasy space has grown, it is enormous. 162 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: There are so many people there. Before we started recording, 163 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,119 Speaker 1: you and I were talking about the Fantasy Football Expo, 164 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: which was a big deal and looked like a great 165 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: time in Canton. Um. There's so many people here and there, 166 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: There's so many opinions and things. Have we have we 167 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: jumped the shark on these preseason evaluations a little bit 168 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: with with how we feel and how we react to things. 169 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if you jumped the shark with them. 170 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: But the problem is, especially like I would say, in 171 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: the in the twitter verse of fantasy football, you know 172 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,239 Speaker 1: a lot of people like to take the one highlight 173 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: play and not look at everything else. Like you can 174 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: look at the Trey Lance, you know, touchdown pass and 175 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: that was a great one, right, being able to avoid 176 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: the contact, get out there, make a deep throat. You 177 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: also kind of saw, you know, guys like Brandon and 178 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: Yu seeen that ball come out a little bit hotter 179 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: than theyre used to from Jimmy Garoppolo. Oh that was 180 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: a little bit more of a zip on that football, 181 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 1: but it wasn't prepared for that. But what you're not 182 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 1: seeing then is the saxy takes right or same thing 183 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence, Like the offensive line needs to play 184 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: a little bit better there in both of those circumstances 185 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 1: if those guys are going to have success, especially as rookie. 186 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: So we can love the talent, but you can't just 187 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: kind of hot take every good moment and not kind 188 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: of be realistic about some of the negatives too, And 189 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: look at the old line. Really watch the entire clip 190 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: and the good thing about the first week of the preseason. 191 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: You only have to watch about fifteen minutes of every 192 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: getting to get a good sense of what's going on, 193 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: and then the rest you kind of leave aside. But 194 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: I think there are, you know, some important things going 195 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 1: on there. What the fantasy football community does very well 196 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: is highlight the good. I would like them also to 197 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: be realistic about some of the good as well and 198 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: realize that, all right, let's get excited about this, but 199 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: let's also have some perspective that they are running sometimes 200 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: like Trail Lands are going against the twos, right, you know, 201 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: and Matt Jones same thing, going against the twos and 202 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: the threes. A little different than Chase Young running after you. 203 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: It's a little bit different scenario. So I think that's 204 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: what you have to do. But what's nice is we're 205 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: getting a much more diverse and a much bigger community, 206 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: and I think that is a very important thing. And 207 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: I think that's been well well documented. It's been far 208 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: too long coming, and I think that's what's so great. 209 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: You're getting a lot of different opinions, a lot of 210 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: really good informed opinions, and that's what's also nice about 211 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: the conversation getting better. I think the conversations at a 212 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: point now where it's a much wider conversation, and eventually 213 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: I think that makes us all smarter and gives us 214 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: a better perspective on our fantasy football life. Yeah, no, 215 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. I do think, you know, the 216 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: more voices you have, because I will say that, you know, 217 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: for for every hot take you see out there, or 218 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: every overreaction to one piece of video, there are you know, 219 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: there are some people who jump in and you know, 220 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: let's pump the brakes, let's calm down, let's you know, 221 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: let's let's let's look at this rationally. I know sometimes 222 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: when folks get labeled as haters, and maybe sometimes they are, 223 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: but but I do think that you know, there is 224 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,079 Speaker 1: there is sort of that calming effect that I think 225 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: has happened as as the space has grown, as has 226 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: gotten bigger by the way you talk about the trail 227 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 1: lance throw um. I you know, I have a text 228 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: chain with some really good friends of mine and we 229 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: all grew up in the Bay Area and four Uniter fans, 230 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 1: and uh, moments after it happened, I just got a text. 231 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: It was like all caps, like send Jimmy packing like 232 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: that was. That was the man. He was my two 233 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: quarterback on the board the whole time. I don't know 234 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: what the heck the Jets were looking at. I really 235 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: don't like. I just what knocked me out about the 236 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: draft covers or maybe you feel the same way or don't. 237 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: I don't know, but all the questions you might have 238 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: had about Lands are the same kind of questions you 239 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: gotta put on Wilson. But I'm looking at the body type. 240 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking at what the NFL is right now. I'm 241 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: looking at how athletic the quarterback positions become. You see 242 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 1: guys like Josh Allen, you see guys like my Homes, 243 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: you see guys like Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson. I mean 244 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: Trey Lance fits a mold of something that could be 245 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: very special. And Wilson might be a very good quarterback. 246 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: It's possible, but I I don't know in terms of 247 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: quarterback prospect. I mean Lance was the one that got 248 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: excited about, and even fields more so. I mean Wilson 249 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: to me was was fourth and and in a tear 250 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: kind of by himself there and the knock on on 251 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 1: Lance was, well, you didn't face a lot of big 252 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: competition and stuff. Isn't that kind of the same thing. 253 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 1: You look at every Zack Wilson highlight and it's all 254 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: in a clean pocket where he's got eight nine seconds 255 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: to throw the football. Well, of course he's gonna look 256 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: pretty good there. He's a great playmaker. Don't want to 257 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,839 Speaker 1: take anything away from him, but the speed of the 258 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: game is gonna change. It was great to see Lance 259 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: look comfortable, look confident and make some throws that once 260 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: you know your friends are right. Jimmy g not making 261 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: some of those throws, and it's just it's just the truth. 262 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 1: You see Jimmy g out there, quick slant, quick slant, 263 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 1: quick slant. You see Trey Lance out there all of 264 00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: a sudden, balls matriculating downfield a little bit, balls come 265 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: out a little fast pastor to Also, he's able to 266 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: elude a little the pressure too, which is also quite 267 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: helpful in keeping those chains moving. Well. I think the 268 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: thing you said about body types and the way the 269 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 1: quarterback position is changing in the NFL is also why 270 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: there was such an uproar when it looked like or 271 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: when we believed that the Niners were gonna take Mac 272 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: Jones at three Um. Obviously in the building in San 273 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: Francisco or Santa Clara, they knew they weren't taking three. 274 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 1: But you know, kudos to Kyle Shanahan for just letting 275 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 1: everybody keep thinking that, right, Like, Hey, if that's what 276 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: you want to think, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna 277 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: disabuse you of that notion. But I do think that 278 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: is sort of what Matt Jones might end up being 279 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: a pretty good quarterback. But he is not. He is 280 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 1: not a Trade Lance or a Justin Fields. You know, 281 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: he's not a Trevor Lawrence. He's not that guy. And 282 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: it is It was sort of weird in the sense 283 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: that the Patriots have two quarterbacks that couldn't be more 284 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: different stylistically, uh in Kim Newton and Mac Jones. And 285 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 1: so you know, I always held to the belief that 286 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: looked the idea of Matt Jones at thirteen seemed okay, 287 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: The idea of Mac Jones three seemed like a stretch. Um. Yeah, 288 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: And I'll put it to you this way. I think 289 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: Mac Jones on a lot of teams is a stretch. 290 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: The team where he actually fits the best is the 291 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: Patriots because the Patriots, historically they want the quarterback they 292 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: can you know, hit the guy in the right time. 293 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 1: They want the guy who can look around the field 294 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: and see the progressions and do all that stuff. And 295 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: once again, you know what, we're coming back to Cam Newton. 296 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: You know, that style of play is not something they've 297 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: really embraced over time. And Cam Newton last year as 298 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: a pastor, had a lot of issues. You know, people 299 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: want to tribute some of the things and Will Covid 300 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: you know, all the other things and stuff like that 301 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: that he had. I get all that, and that's fair, 302 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: but at the same time, let's also realize how incredibly 303 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: predictable they were the first few weeks of the season. 304 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: Cam looked okay. Also to everybody, realize that's literally all 305 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: you got, right. You're you're not able to throw the football, 306 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: You're not able to make the reads. You're not able 307 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: to figure out where to get rid of it and 308 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: when and when the right timing. And you kind of 309 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: saw that also in this first game as well, which 310 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: I think is very troubling for those people who have 311 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 1: fantasy investments in Cam Newton. Whereas mac Joe looked like 312 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: a guy who is kind of in that you know, 313 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 1: nobody's Brady so anyone, let's never ever say that. But 314 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: he is more in that stand up quarterback, good decision making, 315 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: don't turn the ball over, and he's got that weird 316 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: kind of swag where he thinks he's better than he is. 317 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: And you gotta love that about the kid, right. I mean, 318 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 1: it's like, put your shirtback on, Mac Jones. We get it, 319 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: like we think you're cool. But the interesting thing is 320 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 1: there's two fantasy assets on the Patriots. That one I 321 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: don't think changes regardless of whose quarterback, and that's John 322 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 1: new Smith because the best version of Cam was always 323 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: throwing the football to the tight ending Greg Olsen, and 324 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: I think with young quarterbacks are always going to look 325 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: for that guy to check down a little bit scary, 326 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: blanket tight end, big bodied guy John New's. That guy 327 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: is Damian Harris. Where Damian Harris can go from a 328 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 1: guy who you could draft as an RB four right now, 329 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: and if Mac Jones quarterback sooner than later, that's a 330 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: guy who's touchdown equity goes much higher than it would 331 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: if Cam Newton's quarterback. So that's the stock that really 332 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: becomes very volatile depending upon who indeed does have that 333 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: job and how long they have it. Yeah. You know, 334 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: I've been saying recently that I am a fan of 335 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 1: Cam Newton as a football fan, and I want I 336 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,720 Speaker 1: would love to see the Cam Newton of old comeback, 337 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: But as a as a fantasy manager, I can't. I 338 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: can't do it. I can't I can't invest in that. 339 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: So all right, So now that I talked about maybe 340 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: overhyping guys, let's let's hype up some rookie quarterback showing 341 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: um do it? Uh, Justin Fields came out and looked 342 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: very good. Um And if if anybody missed it, all 343 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: you had to do, we just go to Adam ranks 344 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: twitter feed and you know, his his Twitter feed, his TikTok's, 345 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: his instagrams, all of them. You would have found out 346 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: how well Justin Fields did. Despite all of that. Uh, 347 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: Matt Maggie is saying that Andy Dalton is still there, 348 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: QB one do you believe him? Is that going to 349 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: be the case or or you know, are we going 350 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: to see a change of heart before we get to 351 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: week one. I could even see some videos of Adam 352 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: Rank going out there singing some karaoke Fields of Gold 353 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: Deld song, just him kind of rocking out there. Just 354 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: rank on the mic, just solo rank. You know, I 355 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna see fields right away still, I 356 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: really don't. I think it's gonna take a couple of weeks. 357 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 1: But if memory serves, the Bears have a laid by 358 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: so it's really one of those things where it's just 359 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: time to make that change. They will, and I think 360 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: which is a lot of fields, which is exciting, and 361 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 1: again not for the Black Book. I always do the 362 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 1: quarterback right ups every year, no matter what, no matter 363 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: how many people come in, and I'm so blessed to 364 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: have such a great team of people come in and 365 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: work with me, including one of your colleagues, Michael Florio. 366 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: It's the quarterback position. If you understand the quarterback position, 367 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: you understand the offense. If you understand that, everything filters 368 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: out in terms of the rest of your fantasy share. 369 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 1: So getting that right is crucial. Fields. What I like 370 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: the most about him is any kind of early struggle. 371 00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 1: It didn't matter right, he kind of shook that off. 372 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: You love the fact that you can make place with 373 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: his legs because that is a game changer. It's why 374 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: people are excited about Jalen Hurts maybe too excited sometimes 375 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: because I think there's still some downside to Jalen Hurts 376 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: that people haven't talked about quite enough. Or I don't 377 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: want to put him as a QB one quite yet. 378 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: Super flex. Okay, maybe we can have that conversation. But 379 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: I think with Fields, I think you're gonna see him 380 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: sooner than later. You know what Andy Dalton is, and 381 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: I think from the perspective of uh, the Chicago a Bears, 382 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 1: it would be smart to kind of start with Andy Dalton, who, 383 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: let's be frank, is already an enormous upgrade over anything 384 00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: from last year. Okay, no matter what you think of 385 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, he is an upgrade overture Wisky and Nick Foles. 386 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: He absolutely is. So he is a He's an efficient 387 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. He is fine. Now, justin Fields, you have 388 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: the opportunity where you can see how the team responds 389 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: with Dalton. You know, I don't think throwing the kid 390 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: necessarily to the Wolves in week one or two is 391 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: a smart thing to do. Let him continue to be confident. 392 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 1: Let's see how the second week goes, and then after 393 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: that maybe you can come back and reevaluate that timetable. 394 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: But the notion that he's not going to see playing 395 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: time this year, I think that is far out the window. 396 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: If you recall, I think that was the beginning thing. Well, 397 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: we wanted to sit for a year with Andy Dalton. 398 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: That ain't happening. I mean, there's just no reason for it. 399 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: Same thing with the Pats. Right when you make an 400 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: investment in a quarterback with a first round pick, how often, Marcus, 401 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: have we seen those guys not have significant playing time 402 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 1: in the last five six years. That's really just the 403 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: way of the game right now. Yeah, I think the 404 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: days of a first round quarterback sitting and watching and waiting, 405 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: they they're done. Um, you know, I think that the last, 406 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: the last one I can really think of, might have 407 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 1: might have been Aaron Rodgers. I mean, there's probably somebody 408 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 1: since then, but you know, but Mahomes sat for an 409 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,119 Speaker 1: entire true, you're right, My Homes did sit, but you know, 410 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 1: and Rodgers was playing behind Brett Farve, you know, so 411 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: it was sort of a different situation at that point. 412 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: I wanted to check it to the opening game. I 413 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: thought it was. It was against the Rams, So really, 414 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 1: I mean, do you here justin fields here's the football, 415 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 1: there's Aaron Donal will go have fun. Is not really 416 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 1: what you want to do with the kid. It's the 417 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: Rams in week one, It's the Browns in week three, right, 418 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: so I mean the same sort of thing. Do you 419 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 1: really first you really want to throw him in there 420 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: and have him running from his far his life from 421 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: Miles Garrett? You know, so like you there is probably 422 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: a reason that that we're going to see Andy Dalton 423 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,919 Speaker 1: at the start of the year, all right, Trey Lance, 424 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: were just just talking about it the over under on 425 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: when you think he pushes Jimmy g out of the 426 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: starting seat, I think it's by week six, you know, 427 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 1: around that by time, I think I think because as 428 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: he didn't play, this is the different scenario, right, because 429 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: he didn't play at all last year. I think you 430 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 1: do want to get him more reps. I think you 431 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,719 Speaker 1: do want to get him comfortable. So as good as 432 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,719 Speaker 1: he might look, and he might blow the doors off 433 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 1: again this weekend. It's very possible. It's not an impossibility whatsoever. 434 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: But I think what you want to do is let 435 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 1: him continue to get the stamina up to get get 436 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: really comfortable. The only thing that could change that time 437 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 1: frame would be a Jimmy Garoppolo injury, who, let's face it, 438 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: has missed a significant time in his four nine career. 439 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: I mean significant. And that's the one thing we can 440 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: talk about the player, Jimmy Garoppolo, and maybe it's good enough. 441 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,280 Speaker 1: Was certainly good enough to get to a super Bowl 442 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: and have a lead in the Super Bowl at one point. 443 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: But at the same time, he has missed a lot 444 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: of time in the last few years, last year especially too, 445 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: so that would move up the time frame. And if 446 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 1: Trey Lance, let's say Jimmy Garoppolo injury happens week two 447 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: or week three, I don't see Trey Lance ever giving 448 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: that job up. And I don't know if you agree 449 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: with that notion, but I think he would be good 450 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: enough early on that you would see nothing but kind 451 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: of blowback from the organization and in the fan base 452 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: of saying, hey, let's go forward here, let's go with 453 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: the future. Why are we trying to go backwards. We 454 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: know what Garoppolo is, Let's see what Lance is. Because 455 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: I think realistically this year they're looking up at the Rams. 456 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,239 Speaker 1: I really do. I think the Fortnites are a good 457 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,159 Speaker 1: football team. I like Serban I like some of the 458 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: moves they had this offseason, but I think at the 459 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: same time you have to still put the rams. I 460 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: think with that defense they have bringing Matthew Stafford still 461 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: a pretty good cut above. Seahawks always going to be 462 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 1: competitive in that Division two. So for me, I think 463 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: that's a guy you'll see him by week six. I'm curious, 464 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: do you think you're gonna see him start the year? 465 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: I know there's been some buzz, but do you actually 466 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: think week one is possible? I don't think it is. 467 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean I had I had said it originally a 468 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: week four. Um, So I still think it's gonna be 469 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 1: Garoppolo at the start of the year. I still think 470 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: there are things to work on. Yes, the throw he 471 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: made was amazing and everybody had stars in their eyes 472 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: when they saw it. But then you know, you read 473 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: things like, uh, you know, in practice, his the time 474 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: management is still lacking. You know, things were like he's 475 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: running out the clock inadvertently in situation. So there's still 476 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 1: some game management, just some some situational awareness that I 477 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: think they want him to have. Um, you know, and 478 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 1: if they can buy some time with Garoppolo, then I 479 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: think they will do that. Now. The other part of 480 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: this is, as you mentioned, that division is going to 481 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: be a dog fight. Um, you know with all those 482 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 1: teams in there. I mean the Cardinals are improving, they 483 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: have a very good offense, they go and they add J. J. 484 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: Watt to their defense. I mean, they they've got some 485 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: some pieces to really be competitive in that division too. 486 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 1: That might also sort of accelerate the timeline, right if 487 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: they get off to a bad start and they are 488 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: really looking up at a couple of teams in that 489 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 1: division and the playoffs are are not looking at great um, 490 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: then I think that just only you know, pushes Shanahan 491 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: more to say, well, let's let's figure out what the 492 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: kids got, uh and and make that decision from there. 493 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: But I would be very very surprised if we see 494 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: train Lance in week one of the season against for 495 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: for the forty Niners, Trevor Lawrence uh is, he was 496 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick. He is the greatest quarterback 497 00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: prospects since you know, fill in the blank here, um. 498 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: And the big takeaway, and you sort of touched on 499 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: it from the weekend, was that he obviously has the 500 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: skill to play at this level. Nobody ever doubted that, 501 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: but there are question marks around him, especially in front 502 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: of him in that offensive line. So to that end, 503 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: does that cool any potential hype that we have on 504 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: him in fantasy or was there even that much hype 505 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: there for him in Fantasy this year? It's funny. I 506 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: feel like there's there's not enough hype, Like I feel 507 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: like I have to be the guy out here and 508 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: and I literally just did it on the show this morning, 509 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: I Fantasy Pros, where I said, can we be a 510 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: little bit more excited about Trevor Lawrence. I mean, everyone's 511 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: excited about Justin Fields, but we just kind of agreed 512 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: that we're probably not gonna see him for maybe a 513 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: few weeks. And then we're all excited about Trey Lance. 514 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 1: We're probably not gonna see him for a few weeks. 515 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: And Mac Jones, Oh maybe, I don't know, Wilson, you're 516 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: gonna see But what about the one one? What about 517 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence? For God's sakes, I think because Trevor Lawrence 518 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: can get out in space, can get out of the 519 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 1: pocket and move around, I think what that does is 520 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: it allows him to in a way cover up some 521 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: of the faults of the offensive line. I don't think 522 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 1: you wanted to see a lot of that in that 523 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: first game, but I think that's something if you saw 524 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence play four quarters, you know he gets hit 525 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: a couple of times, it goes all right, Well, next 526 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 1: time I feel that pressure, I'm gonna take off for 527 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 1: twenty yards. I'm sure urban Meyer was not a big 528 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: fan of him doing that in this preseason game or 529 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: maybe even the second one. But I think what you 530 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 1: did see is you saw him complete, you know, a 531 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 1: couple of passes to Marvin Jones. It was encouraging. You 532 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: barely saw e t N, which I think that's going 533 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: to be a big difference. And and maybe the fact 534 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: you barely saw e t N shouldn't be the negative. 535 00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: People say, maybe it's a little bit more of a 536 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: positive of what actually the expectation for him could be. 537 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: So people who are already a little negative, maybe, well, 538 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: he didn't do too much and get a lot of opportunity. Well, look, 539 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: let's let the rest of the guys who are maybe 540 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: more of the depth of that running back by committee 541 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: get a little bit more reps now, and let's save 542 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:46,959 Speaker 1: Travis c t in a little bit for the regular 543 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: season and for this long seventeen game season. But for me, 544 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,439 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, you know, he's got just as much upside 545 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: as Jalen Hurts to become a low end QB one 546 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: this year, and yet it feels like nobody seems to 547 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: care about it but me anymore. And you would think 548 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: people would have Trevor Lawrence fatigue, but it's the opposite. 549 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: All we have is fields, All we have is Lance. 550 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: It's all we can talk about right now. And that's cool. 551 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 1: But I mean, did we forget what we saw Trevor Lawrence? Do? 552 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: Do we forget some of the backbreaking runs in those 553 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: big games where your run for twenty yards, thirty yards 554 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: and just crush somebody on a third and long. That's 555 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: the kind of stuff he's capable of doing. I think 556 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence will just you know, will feel his way 557 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 1: into things and and if he looks significantly better, that 558 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: will change the narrative this week. But the good news is, 559 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: at least Lawrence is not going to be a statue 560 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: in the Pocket's not the Eli Manning type quarterback is 561 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,120 Speaker 1: just going to be there and you have to worry 562 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: about him. So the fact that he can move around 563 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: a little bit is good, but at the same time, 564 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: the offensive line might hold him back slightly. The good 565 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: news is he's got a nice complement of weapons and 566 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: probably you know he's going to start week one. I mean, 567 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,879 Speaker 1: I can't imagine him not starting week one. That's the 568 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 1: one guy who is we know for sure, and that's 569 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,720 Speaker 1: the one guy nobody seems to want to talk about. 570 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: Go figure Marcus. That that is the weird part, right 571 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: like he is the guy we know is going to 572 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: play right away, um and for whatever reason, that just 573 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be that that buzz about it. And 574 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: I guess the other part that's strange to me is 575 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: because I do like the pieces. I am an unabashed 576 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: la viscus Chnault stand right. I have been since today 577 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: they drafted him. I've doubled down on it this year. 578 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: I believe in him. I've drafted Marvin Jones in a 579 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: lot of places. I like the combination of et N 580 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 1: and Robinson behind him. So I like all those pieces. 581 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: But for some reason, I I admit I have not 582 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,360 Speaker 1: you know, I have not been stoking the Trevor Lawrence fires. 583 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,359 Speaker 1: And I don't I can't explain why Uh, it just 584 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: it just sort of is what it is because I 585 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 1: guess because because the narrative and the conversation has been 586 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 1: so censored on fields and on Lance that I just 587 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: I haven't and and um, if I know who asked me, like, 588 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: shouldn't we be talking about him more? I'm probably And 589 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, probably, yes, but but I'm not. I 590 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: I don't and I can't explain it. It doesn't make 591 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: any sense. Um, That's why I'm here to remind everybody 592 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is good at football. There you go, there's 593 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 1: my analysis board winning right there. You're welcome everyone, sort 594 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: of side note, do you believe this? You know this, 595 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: Carlos Hide is going to get a big role now. 596 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: Not not like I am unfazed by Carlos Hide. I am. 597 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 1: I am fazed by Malcolm Brown. I'm fazed by that. 598 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: But I was somebody was very afraid of Myles gas 599 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: gonna beginning with there's definitely some backfield early on that 600 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 1: I started to go, oh gosh, you know, I got 601 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 1: a lot of Salva acmed late best ball shares just 602 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: in case to hedge some bets. But no, I'm not 603 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 1: really worried about hid to Robinson, and I would say this. 604 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: You know, Robinson was tremendous last year. I don't take 605 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: anything away from that guy. You know, undrafted free agents 606 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: who can come in and make an impact, it's amazing. 607 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,120 Speaker 1: But it is a different regime and I don't think 608 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: there's any marriage to him whatsoever for this organization currently 609 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 1: as it's constituted. So I think Robinson will get some work, 610 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: of course, but Travis et and I kind of look 611 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: at that same way that you saw the path of 612 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,719 Speaker 1: Swift and Taylor, where if you're high on them, draft him, 613 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: but be patient because it might be something that the 614 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: latter eight weeks of the season as opposed to the 615 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: first eight weeks of the season, how many people were 616 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: really fresher with Jonathan tan Right and those Ni Hindes 617 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: games where the Jordan Wilkins game. Everybody remembers that. I 618 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: know you do, a lot of people have the scars 619 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: from that. And what happened eventually was those guys eventually 620 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 1: got up to speed, eventually got comfortable, and eventually became 621 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: fantasy game change, especially Taylor Right. I mean, I mean 622 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: David Montgomery took a year and a half. But I 623 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,399 Speaker 1: think with with Travis etm that's a player who you 624 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: can't imagine that Trevor Lawrence didn't have a hand in 625 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: that selection. That's his guy, right, So having Trevor Lawrence 626 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: be comfortable with the NFL level, I think to a 627 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: certain extent, absolutely means when I got the guy behind me, 628 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: then in college we want a lot with and that matters, 629 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 1: and also the flexibility that player to line up in 630 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 1: this lot to do some other fun things with. They're 631 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: gonna find ways to get him the football if you 632 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,159 Speaker 1: draft him. It's okay to be aggressive, but have a 633 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 1: plan for the first four or five weeks, and also 634 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 1: understand you have to be patient. You it might not 635 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: happen until we turned a page from October into November, 636 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 1: but when it does, it could be a very special, 637 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: league winning sort of a pick. So you talk about 638 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: setting up a guy, a quarterback, especially to be comfortable, 639 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 1: and that kind of gives me to Zack Wilson in 640 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: the sense that you know, what the Jets have done 641 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,399 Speaker 1: with Wilson is the opposite of what they did with 642 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 1: Sam Donald. They seem to have made it a point 643 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 1: to put things and put people around Wilson to at 644 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: least help him succeed now, you know, I know you 645 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 1: said that he was your number four quarterback. Um, But 646 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: with with all the hype we've seen about Elijah More, 647 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:31,719 Speaker 1: with all the buzz we've seen about Michael Carter, you know, 648 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: with with Corey Davis coming in there as a free agent, 649 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: I mean, Jamison crowd is still hanging around there, and 650 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: this guy has been a good player for a number 651 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 1: of years. Um, there we get even a little bit 652 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 1: excited about Zack will Is It probably not in redraft leagues, 653 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: but maybe, like you know, Dynasty League something like that. 654 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: Can we get excited about him in the Dynasty super 655 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,480 Speaker 1: Flex community? I think you could start to be mildly excited. 656 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to throw all kinds of cold water 657 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: on the Jet. I love the coach. That's one of 658 00:27:55,560 --> 00:28:00,399 Speaker 1: your guys too. At Robert Sale is a tremendous leader 659 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: and anywhere you go, you talk to the guys when 660 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: they were with him in Detroit, Sand Frand everybody loves 661 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: this guy. So I think for the first time in 662 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: a very long time, the Jets got it right at 663 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 1: head coach. Now that's the start, right of all of this, 664 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:13,959 Speaker 1: And you're right, they have done a very good job 665 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: with surrounding him with talent there. I think the Corey 666 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: Davis signing was really good. Michael Carter. I think it's 667 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 1: gonna be a very good running back. It's just hard 668 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: to imagine once again right away, this Jets offense being 669 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: a top fifteen offense in the NFL. Right, I just 670 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: don't see that happening. He's in a top twenty offense 671 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I don't know about that either. And 672 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: that's what you have to understand, is the growing pains 673 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: of the rookie quarterback at that level. Um, just by 674 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: taking Adam Gaze out of the scenario is all the 675 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: addition you possibly need by subtraction for the Jets. Right 676 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,239 Speaker 1: take Adam Gates away from the young quarterback. Look at 677 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehell, we can only hope that Sam Donald starts 678 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 1: to take a path where his career is saved in Carolina. Right. 679 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: But I think right now with the Jets, it is 680 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 1: about them trying to just get the kids acclamated, get 681 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: him comfortable, surround him with some talent so he can 682 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: be good in terms of fantasy relevance, especially in twenty one. 683 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 1: I struggle with that because let's not forget six games. 684 00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna play two against the Buffalo Bills. It's pretty 685 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,920 Speaker 1: good defense. Last time I checked pretty good defensive coach, 686 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: some guy named Bill Belichick twice who pretty much gives 687 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks fits. And let's not forget about Brian Flores too. 688 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: And that defense is for real with Miami, and that's 689 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: a very competitive team. It comes out ready to play. 690 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 1: So those are already six games on the schedule where 691 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 1: you can't be really excited about the matchups, and then 692 00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 1: you're throwing a couple more next thing. You know, it's 693 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: what's the ceiling for the Jets offense? I think the 694 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: floor is questionable. There really is no ceiling. I don't 695 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: think unfortunately. I think in terms of depth, sure, Corey 696 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: Davis is I think still going to see a fair 697 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,240 Speaker 1: amount of targets, probably gonna be surprisingly good. Corey Davis 698 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: is gonna score ten touchdowns this year. I think that 699 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: would be miraculous if that weren't happen. If you can 700 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: get five or six, you know, and somewhere around eight 701 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: d and fifty yards or nine yards ago, Okay, well, 702 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: that's that's good. That's a good wide receiver. Four or 703 00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 1: five kind of guy, depending on the depth you're playing 704 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: in terms of leagues. But you know, with the Jets, 705 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 1: I I've lived in New York my whole life, right, Marcus, 706 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: So I've seen a lot of I've seen Browning Nagle, 707 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: I've seen Richard Todd. I've seen a lot in my time. 708 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of Jet quarterbacks, Ken O'Brien all 709 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: this stuff. And I'm not a Jets fan Noor Giants fan. 710 00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: Luckily I have somehow managed to escape both of those. 711 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,120 Speaker 1: But I've seen a lot of Jets quarterbacks go wrong. 712 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: And I hope they've got it right here. I'm encouraged 713 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:23,959 Speaker 1: by the coach that they got the right guy at 714 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: least to get it right. But I think in terms 715 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: of fantasy it's just very difficult to get there right now, 716 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: because it is going to be more of a learning 717 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: curve and a difficult level when you're talking about the opponents. 718 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 1: Thank you for putting a description to that that unease 719 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: I get in my stomach when I talk about the Jets, 720 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 1: because I do. I do fall into the hey man, 721 00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: Elijah More could be really good, and Michael Carter could 722 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: be really good, and and and look maybe they will 723 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,239 Speaker 1: be UM. But at the same time, I'm always like, 724 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: you know, but dot dot dot jets and I think 725 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: you sort of summed up very well what that that 726 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: that that is because there are things about it that 727 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,239 Speaker 1: we should sort of be concerned about. That doesn't mean 728 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: I'm not going to take a shot at Michael Carter 729 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: if I want running back back. I'm not taking a shot, 730 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, I won't avoid Elijah More at wide receiver. Um. 731 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: But it does sort of remind me that there are 732 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: real world, in real life situations that can prevent some 733 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: of these guys from going to the moon. Go back 734 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: and watch your shows from three years ago or four 735 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,400 Speaker 1: years ago, right, and and go back and watch all 736 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: the conversations around Sam Donald, right, polished quarterback, ready to 737 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 1: come out. Well, there's Robby Anderson. We think we got 738 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,560 Speaker 1: something here at tight end, right, We think we've got 739 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,600 Speaker 1: some pieces around him that in We all know what 740 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:39,280 Speaker 1: happened now, Unfortunately it was I think a lot to 741 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: blame with Adam Gays. But at the same time, you know, 742 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: we've kind of we've heard this before. You can go 743 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: back to the Mark Sanchez time, well polished NFL you know, 744 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 1: ready quarterback. You know, I had a lot of success 745 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: in college, maybe even you know, certainly on a bigger 746 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: stage than Zack Wilson has success. Did you go back? 747 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: I mean, they did make it to a couple of 748 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: AFC Championship games, But in terms of fantasy that Jets 749 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: offense anything really special fantasy wise, not so much. I 750 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: mean the defense was very good on those teams, So 751 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: I think that's where I struggle. It's like, do I 752 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: look at the Jet score on a weekly basis and 753 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: do I see a sixteen or twenty four? I think 754 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,000 Speaker 1: I see a lot more sixteens personally, right, No, I 755 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: think that's that's absolutely fair. All right, So the last one, uh, 756 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: the aforementioned Mac Jones. Um, I mean, what do you 757 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,959 Speaker 1: do you think he's gonna be the starter in Week one? 758 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 1: I mean there's a legitimate battle between he and Cam 759 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 1: Newton happening right now. Do you think Mac Jones wins this? 760 00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 1: And what do you think his ceiling is? Well, everybody 761 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 1: laughed at me when I said during our draft coverage 762 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: of Fantasy Pros Live in the Draft, I said, there's 763 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: your Week one starter, and all my colleagues went, ha 764 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: ha ha, You're crazy. And then we did our Bowl 765 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: prediction show less last week and I said Mac Jones 766 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: started a week one once again, the laugh sinceue. Then 767 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: the game happened. Then the game happened, and now is 768 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: a lot less people laughing. I can't laughter. The laughter 769 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: is dissipated, and now it's become concerned. I think there's 770 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 1: a good chance. I think this is the game that's 771 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: going to really tell this tale coming up. And this 772 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 1: is a fascinating one too because of this he hurts 773 00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: Kim Newton and Mac Jones, three quarterbacks and fantasy that 774 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: really you want to see certain things happen that performance 775 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: because the ripple effect from those guys, whether it be 776 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: super flex or whether it just be the offenses in general, 777 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 1: are huge. This is a huge Thursday night football game 778 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: that I'm hyping up for NFL right here, but it 779 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: really is because it's very important. The what happens after 780 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: this game really is going to define at least the 781 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: beginning of the season for the Eagles end for the 782 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: New England Patriots. I think there's right now it's a 783 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,280 Speaker 1: chance that I would say Mac Jones starts right now. 784 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 1: And even though I'm the bold crazy person saying it's 785 00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: gonna happen. I would put it a but if he 786 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: goes out there and has a similar game and Cam 787 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,440 Speaker 1: Newton puts up the same kind of performance he did, 788 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 1: I think all of a sudden it flips to I 789 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: think all of a sudden goes from s one way 790 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: to sixty forty and mac Jones favor because the future 791 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: has to be now for the Patriots. You're looking up 792 00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: in a division with Josh Allen and two a tongue 793 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: of violoa A right, You're looking up at those two guys, 794 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: you really think what you did last year, you know, 795 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,840 Speaker 1: is gonna be good enough offensively to compete. It's just not. 796 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: And and Cam Newton, look, Kim in tremendous athlete. Kim 797 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: Newton had some really great fantasy seasons. But I think 798 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,359 Speaker 1: when you always go back and look at him new 799 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: and they're always deficits with him throwing the football. It 800 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 1: was never he was never a prolific passer. And I 801 00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,160 Speaker 1: think for the Patriots, their identity getting all these players 802 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 1: back from last year didn't play because of COVID. Right, 803 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: They're getting all these defensive players back, and now all 804 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: of a sudden you've added some pieces you've added, Johnny, 805 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 1: you added Aghalore. I still think they could use a 806 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: definitive playmaker out there. We'll see if Stevenson becomes anything too, 807 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: But I think you can get back to playing defense, 808 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: rung the football, proficient, precision passing, and be more of 809 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,360 Speaker 1: the Patriots were used to, which is maybe not the 810 00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: greatest fantasy team, but certainly a team is gonna win 811 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: a lot of games, and I think that's the thing 812 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,840 Speaker 1: that they want to get back to. Let's not pretend 813 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: like it's lost on Bill Belichick that Tom Brady went 814 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: to Tampa on a Super Bowl. I mean, if you 815 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 1: don't think that bothers Bill Belichick in some way, you're wrong. 816 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: It just does absolutely. I mean you're right. No, it 817 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,440 Speaker 1: is a formula that worked for twenty years in New England, right, 818 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 1: I mean, just a guy, a precision passer from the pocket. 819 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 1: Uh you know who? Hell thirty, let's go back to Bled. 820 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean you're right. That's the team I 821 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: grew up with, right. I grew up with the Ben Coates, 822 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: Curtis Martin Patriots that I absolutely love. And that's when 823 00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: I fell in love with that team. And then they 824 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: lost the Super Bowl beforehand, so I thought it maybe 825 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,239 Speaker 1: it's just me. I'm a jinx, And then the next 826 00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:28,440 Speaker 1: twenty years of my life were very, very spoiled. It 827 00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:31,439 Speaker 1: was beautiful. But you know, they've always been that team, 828 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 1: and that goes back to Parcels. It goes back to 829 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,560 Speaker 1: the Parcels vision with Chris Sims. Yeah, I mean, i'll 830 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 1: excuse me, um Phil Sales rather with the Giant excuse me. 831 00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: It goes back to you know, Vinny Testaverdy with the 832 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,319 Speaker 1: Browns with Bill Belichick. Right, it's not new, it's it's 833 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: about proficiency and if he doestiverty with the Jets of Parcels, right, 834 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 1: it always goes back to can you make good decisions? 835 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: Can you not turn over the football? Can you put 836 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:53,360 Speaker 1: us in a situation to win. We'll play defense and 837 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: we're gonna win football games. And you know what, they've 838 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,759 Speaker 1: had a lot of success with that mindset from the 839 00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 1: Parcels Belichick Ish, you know, Era all the way for 840 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,600 Speaker 1: the last thirty plus years of the NFL. Yeah, No, 841 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,479 Speaker 1: you're absolutely right. So I, like I said, I think 842 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:09,600 Speaker 1: I think there's a pretty even chance that it could 843 00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: be Mac Jones over Cam Newton. Even already like that. 844 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it is. I mean I just 845 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,640 Speaker 1: just just sort of by reading the tea leaves right 846 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: and everything we're hearing, I mean it sounds like this 847 00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,799 Speaker 1: is this is not this is not Cam's job to 848 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 1: lose necessarily, like this is a real battle going. You know, 849 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,040 Speaker 1: you might have just nailed it. I think that might 850 00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,600 Speaker 1: be the best way to put it. It's not Cam's 851 00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,680 Speaker 1: job to lose right now, it's actually Max Twin And 852 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,240 Speaker 1: maybe that's why it should be. Look at you putting 853 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: it perfectly. Every now and every now and then I 854 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 1: run into a couple, you know, it just happens, all right, 855 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 1: So I under some either oars with you. I've got 856 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,760 Speaker 1: a couple of guys, and I'll give you a round, 857 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 1: and you tell me which one you'd rather have at 858 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: quarterback Justin Herbert and round six or Matthew Stafford in 859 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:57,359 Speaker 1: round eight. Man Justin Herbert blew my mind last year 860 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 1: because I thought he would be okay, I thought he 861 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: would be better than some other people did. But I'm 862 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:03,720 Speaker 1: not only any of us saw that coming, like anybody 863 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 1: who was out there, I want to meet that fantasy, 864 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: analyst said. Justin Herbert is gonna set rookie records, because 865 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 1: I don't think any of us thought that was possible. 866 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Stafford. I think Stafford in this 867 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: new lease of life, give me a little cheaper in 868 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: the single quarterback league. I know this isn't fair to 869 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert because he was that good last year. He 870 00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: should demand the draft capital there. But I want to 871 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: see it again. Is that wrong? I want to see 872 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 1: it again before I buy in. I just feel like 873 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: that's where I'm at. I don't love the play calling 874 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,200 Speaker 1: the Lombardi. I don't know how much I want to 875 00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: put that on the Lions, how much I want to 876 00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 1: put that on THEMBARTI we shall see. But I think 877 00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I'd rather take Stafford, 878 00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 1: who I know. You know, Stafford has been one of 879 00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 1: these guys that I think has been a little maligned 880 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: to his career or maybe underrated, underappreciated, And this is 881 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:48,480 Speaker 1: a beautiful situation for him, with lots of great wide receivers, 882 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: a great offensive minded coach, a great defense. This is like, 883 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 1: I mean, You're dropping Matthew Stafford into a great situation here, 884 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: and I think he's so excited for it. So as 885 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: long as he's healthy, I think I'll take the discount 886 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: on Stafford. But it's not fair to Justin Herbert. I'm sorry. 887 00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: I want to send him an edible arrangement and I'm 888 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,520 Speaker 1: so sorry, but I totally get it. I mean, Matthew 889 00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: Stafford for me, has become the latest patron saint of 890 00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: the Church of White on a quarterback, right like for 891 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 1: people who want to wait until later rounds. Stafford is 892 00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: that guy. And now you put him in a better situation, 893 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: right like he is in Los Angeles with those great weapons, 894 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: with a great offensive minded head coach. I totally did it. 895 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,360 Speaker 1: Now that said that said, I've look, I've drafted Herbert 896 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,680 Speaker 1: in the six. I've drafted Stafford in the eighth or ninth. 897 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,879 Speaker 1: I feel okay with both of them. I get though, 898 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:32,759 Speaker 1: the idea of wanting to wait now that there's a 899 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,759 Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator there and the fact that right now 900 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,799 Speaker 1: people are taking Justin Herbert right around QB six or so, 901 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 1: And for me, that does feel a little bit like 902 00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: you're drafting him pretty close to his ceiling um. So 903 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,560 Speaker 1: if he doesn't hit. Look, if you draft him as 904 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 1: the QB six and he finishes his QB eight, you're 905 00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,319 Speaker 1: not really broken up. But if if if it takes 906 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: him a while to sort of learned this new system 907 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:58,160 Speaker 1: and he finishes the year's QB tenor Levin, you're gonna 908 00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: be a little bit bent about it. Um, it's wrong 909 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,320 Speaker 1: to say I'd rather have Tannehill than both. No, I 910 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,600 Speaker 1: don't think so. I mean, I'm talk about another guy 911 00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: who I don't think it's getting enough love of this offseason. 912 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 1: It's in Ryan Tannehill fits squarely into that description what 913 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 1: an offense and that could I mean Julio on one side, 914 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: A J. Brown the other, Derrick Henry in the field. 915 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's been I mean, really think about it, Like, 916 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: what do you do defensively to stop that? Because if 917 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,120 Speaker 1: you bring up the safeties, that's a problem because now 918 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna leave those corners and single coverage against those 919 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,239 Speaker 1: two beats on this on the other side, they can't 920 00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 1: do that, and if you don't, then Derrick Henry runs 921 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,400 Speaker 1: all over you. So I don't I don't know, Like 922 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: I legitimately have no idea. You've got to just play 923 00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: so well at the line that you can get to Tannehill, 924 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: you can get to Henry, you can stop any sort 925 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: of downfield possibilities because I just I mean, this is 926 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 1: gonna be a really fun offense potentially to watch with 927 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,160 Speaker 1: those two guys. I'm very curious how this is gonna go, 928 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,480 Speaker 1: because it's going to be really really interesting, all right, 929 00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,040 Speaker 1: David Montgomery and the third or Darrell Henderson in the fourth, 930 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,919 Speaker 1: David Montgomery all day. I'm here to restore the good 931 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,960 Speaker 1: name David Montgomery. I am so sick and tired. I'm 932 00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: gonna kind of nice Adam rank promo pro wrestling style 933 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: for you. Right now. I am sick and tired of 934 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,880 Speaker 1: hearing how David Montgomery was good against the bad teams 935 00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: in a later party last year. How about we rejoice 936 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,279 Speaker 1: and celebrate about that. How about that for one? How 937 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 1: many times we look at matchups, this should be good, 938 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,799 Speaker 1: and then the guy underperforms and we get upset. The 939 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,600 Speaker 1: guy is good against the bad teams, And I got 940 00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 1: take it this way. I know, whatever you want to 941 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:29,200 Speaker 1: tell about strength of schedule or defenses or maybe going 942 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,360 Speaker 1: into the year you try to rank that stuff. Guess what, 943 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,839 Speaker 1: right now, he's got a really good situation in terms 944 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:39,239 Speaker 1: of run defenses. Why can't David Montgomery be basically what 945 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,000 Speaker 1: he was. I'm so sick of hearing about Trekhen. I 946 00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,399 Speaker 1: am sick about I'm sick about Williams. I'm sick about 947 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,399 Speaker 1: all this. Give this man some credit. They gave him 948 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 1: the football, They threw in the football. All he did 949 00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,480 Speaker 1: was be awesome. And you know what, Maybe he's that 950 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,440 Speaker 1: kind of back that just has to touch the football 951 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: more in order to get the best version of him, 952 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: because that's probably more like what he's used to in 953 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,040 Speaker 1: his career in high school and college. Some guys are 954 00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: like that. Not everybody is the Miles Sanders type and 955 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,160 Speaker 1: gutch the ball twelve times and all of a sudden 956 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: be a fancy asset. Maybe it's a guy like Montgomery. 957 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,800 Speaker 1: You just has to be part of that game and 958 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,880 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you add in better quarterback play. 959 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:12,640 Speaker 1: And I love Mooney on the other side too, I 960 00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,960 Speaker 1: love Robinson. I mean, those guys are great. Man, I'm mixing. 961 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,279 Speaker 1: I'm the only guy who was excited about having Dave 962 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,960 Speaker 1: Montgomery on his team. You give me him as my 963 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: r V two. I am so happy because I feel 964 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 1: like and I just took him in flex draft last week. 965 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,680 Speaker 1: Is my RB two thrilled. Great given to me. I 966 00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:28,800 Speaker 1: know what I'm getting, and you know, I'm just not 967 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,200 Speaker 1: buying all this other noise that those other guys are 968 00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 1: gonna make that much of a difference. I am starting 969 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,560 Speaker 1: to get back on God. Here's here's my here's my 970 00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: evolution of David Mountgomery. Like as as a rookie, I was, 971 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 1: I was super hyped on him. I was super big 972 00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 1: on him, and he turned out to just be kind 973 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:47,320 Speaker 1: of mat in his rookie season. Then last year, midway 974 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,000 Speaker 1: through the year, I looked at that schedule and I 975 00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,279 Speaker 1: was really advocating, like, hey, go get him. If you 976 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 1: can get him in a trade, go get him. He 977 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: will help you to the playoffs. He may help you 978 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 1: win a championship. And for a lot of people he did. 979 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 1: He took you pretty far into the postseason. And so 980 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: this year, I I started this year thinking sort of 981 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: along those lines, like, hey, look, three Cohen's gonna be back. 982 00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,040 Speaker 1: Will the schedule be so favorable? Like I had questions, 983 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,320 Speaker 1: But I look and on paper, like, look what we 984 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,360 Speaker 1: look at on paper right now might not be what 985 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: it is once we actually start playing games. But on paper, 986 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,719 Speaker 1: that schedule looks pretty nice for him. Um, you know, 987 00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: there's talk about Cohen and his rehab and his recovery 988 00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,000 Speaker 1: and how long it's going to take, and the fact 989 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 1: that what we saw last year was that he can 990 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: be trusted as a pass catcher. I mean, when Cohen 991 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,439 Speaker 1: was out, they used him more in the passing game 992 00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:33,200 Speaker 1: and he did a damn good job of it. So 993 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,719 Speaker 1: all these things sort of coalescing make me a little 994 00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:39,560 Speaker 1: bit more excited about David Montgomery. And it also, by 995 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 1: the way, is sort of a reminder that if a 996 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: guy doesn't necessarily pop in year one, it doesn't mean 997 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: that he's bad. Right, Like David Montgomery was not the 998 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:50,360 Speaker 1: guy that we maybe hyped him up to be in 999 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: year one, all right, so maybe it takes two year too, 1000 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:55,840 Speaker 1: maybe it takes Melvin Gordon was the same way. Remember, 1001 00:42:56,960 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 1: famously did not score a touchdown and his season everybody 1002 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,719 Speaker 1: he was dead to everyone and anybody who bought post 1003 00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:07,359 Speaker 1: hype the next year, especially in Dynasty, and pretty good 1004 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 1: run there with Melvin Gordon. Look, David Montgomery, you know, 1005 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:15,719 Speaker 1: I like this the running back Frankenstein. But you know what, 1006 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,319 Speaker 1: I hope he has more athletics than sting a show 1007 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,719 Speaker 1: at this stage, that's all I help. But look, I 1008 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 1: just feel like, especially if you are somebody that you know, 1009 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,160 Speaker 1: if you're somebody that ends up taking in Davante Adams, 1010 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,879 Speaker 1: let's say, in round one, right, or one of those 1011 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: big wide receiver talents, and and there's nothing wrong in 1012 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:33,920 Speaker 1: the PPR with doing that. Why not take a guy 1013 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,279 Speaker 1: like that or Travis Kelsey and then you want to, 1014 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 1: you know, start to build your running back corps. Why 1015 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,560 Speaker 1: not start or or have a piece of David Montgomery 1016 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: because the job is his. He performed very well. The 1017 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: ancillary pieces around him. I don't think they were going 1018 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: to stunt the amount of volume he's going to have overall. 1019 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,279 Speaker 1: And he's proven already that he's a player on the 1020 00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: upswing who finishes the top five running back. He finished 1021 00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,400 Speaker 1: as a top five running back. And I understand that 1022 00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,399 Speaker 1: there was no Arkly was no McCaffrey, there was none 1023 00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 1: of the like a lot of the premium guys got hurt. 1024 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: That is fair, but like it almost feels like that 1025 00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:08,400 Speaker 1: same conversation we used to have about Davonte Freeman back 1026 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,839 Speaker 1: in the day, like he's just good, he's just fine, 1027 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,120 Speaker 1: He's gonna be fine for and everybody wanted to make 1028 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:15,319 Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman a thing, and Tevin Coleman never became a thing. 1029 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 1: And every year at the turn, you could take DeVonta 1030 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: Freeman and he would get you, you know, a pretty 1031 00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,800 Speaker 1: good fantasy season and you'd be okay there. And I 1032 00:44:21,880 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: think the discount you're getting on David Montgomery's like you said, 1033 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 1: it's like a third round pick or something like that, right, 1034 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I think you can do him. Chris Carson. 1035 00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:31,319 Speaker 1: There's a lot of guys to like in that area. 1036 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,640 Speaker 1: If you hit wide receiver early to start pivoting to 1037 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: running back, I think you could do a lot worse 1038 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,000 Speaker 1: than Montgomery. Um, don't get me started about Chris Carson. 1039 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 1: How how how a guy is perennially underrated? Like everybody 1040 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 1: everybody had myth that he's underrated, and somehow we still 1041 00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: just Hey, if I gave you a team right now 1042 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 1: that started Adams, Carson, Montgomery, would you go to war 1043 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,200 Speaker 1: with that? I'm thrilled, see me too, and me I 1044 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:53,919 Speaker 1: don't look at out by the way, people are still 1045 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: trying to make Tevin Coleman a thing. Oh it's still happening. 1046 00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,919 Speaker 1: Stop enough, all right, of this last one here, Kenny 1047 00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: Golladay in the seventh or Deebo Samuel in the eighth, 1048 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,320 Speaker 1: this is tough. Well, I think you're getting such a 1049 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,480 Speaker 1: discount on holiday where now it's starting to get intriguing, 1050 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 1: Like it's getting to a point now where you know, 1051 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:12,719 Speaker 1: and I was one of these guys in the beginning 1052 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,080 Speaker 1: of the here saying, look, schedule is not great, Daniel 1053 00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,560 Speaker 1: Jones isn't great. Like there's a lot of problems here, 1054 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: right because he's facing what four of the top six 1055 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:21,879 Speaker 1: corners I think in the first six weeks of the season. 1056 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 1: That's a problem. He's already hurt, that's a problem. And 1057 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 1: Daniel Jones turns over the ball at an alarming rate. 1058 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: And what that means is there's a finite number of 1059 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,240 Speaker 1: scoring opportunities that teams have and that's going to affect 1060 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:33,840 Speaker 1: your fantasy. Right. It's very simple. It's more of like 1061 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:37,920 Speaker 1: a daily fantasy kind of you know, intellectual argument, but 1062 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: you can use it in the season long because if 1063 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:41,839 Speaker 1: you think Daniel Jones is going to fumble a ball 1064 00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 1: and throw at least one interception in a game, that's 1065 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,719 Speaker 1: two drives right there, that he's gonna be killing. Kenny 1066 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:50,839 Speaker 1: Golladay's touchdown outside. Then you add in just Daniel Jones 1067 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 1: being Daniel Jones and a couple of three and ouns. 1068 00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,759 Speaker 1: Next thing you know, you are like Razor Thin here, 1069 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,279 Speaker 1: and it's great to get Barkley back. Debo is tough 1070 00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:00,640 Speaker 1: for me because d but it was a guy that 1071 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: I personally loved coming into the league, very excited about. 1072 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,160 Speaker 1: Came into the league kind of hurt. It's been hurt 1073 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,319 Speaker 1: ever since. Really, this is the problem. Now. I'm hoping 1074 00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:10,800 Speaker 1: that we get the better version here. What I like 1075 00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:12,680 Speaker 1: about Debo is, you know, you can use them in 1076 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,719 Speaker 1: lots of different ways. Again, the football AUK was incredibly 1077 00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 1: eye opening last year. This is a tough one. I 1078 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:23,600 Speaker 1: think I would probably prefer to draft Deebo Samuel take 1079 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 1: that little round extra, and then after I would say, 1080 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: the first four or five weeks of the season, go 1081 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,200 Speaker 1: make a trade for Kenny Golladay because I think whoever 1082 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,759 Speaker 1: has Kenny Golladay is going to be frustrated by the 1083 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,359 Speaker 1: time they're in mid October, and I'm going to use 1084 00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: my draft capital. I want to get off to a 1085 00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,959 Speaker 1: good start and Debo is healthy. Now, I think Debo 1086 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 1: can help get me off to a good start. I'm 1087 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 1: not so sure about Kenny Golladay. I don't want to 1088 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 1: go to and four. I want to go four and too. 1089 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 1: And I think Golladay is a better trade target than 1090 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:50,520 Speaker 1: a draft target right now in terms of capital I 1091 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 1: have to spend. That's fair, I mean, I think also, 1092 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,360 Speaker 1: I think all the things you named about the Giants 1093 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,319 Speaker 1: that make you worry throwing the fact that there are 1094 00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:58,520 Speaker 1: a lot of targets there. I mean, there are a 1095 00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,440 Speaker 1: lot of guys that they can target in the offense too, 1096 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,839 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, looking Sterling Shepherd is still walking 1097 00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,879 Speaker 1: free Shepherd, right free. In every draft you get all 1098 00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 1: the Sterling Shepherd you want. I mean, why not, right? Yeah, No, 1099 00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean he still walks the earth, I mean looks 1100 00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: For all the frustration of Evan Ingram last year, he's 1101 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 1: still going to be out there. He's still going to 1102 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,880 Speaker 1: be getting targets. Darius Slayton is still going to get 1103 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 1: the football thrown his way on occasion. Um, it's just 1104 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:23,840 Speaker 1: a lot of people that they got to try and 1105 00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,600 Speaker 1: and and get involved with a quarterback that I don't 1106 00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,279 Speaker 1: know can support that many wide receivers not not in 1107 00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:32,239 Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective at all. So I was gone to 1108 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 1: watch all right, far let you always like to do 1109 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:37,400 Speaker 1: some some rapid fire fun uh non fantasy related questions. 1110 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 1: So first one for you, what is your least favorite 1111 00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:44,160 Speaker 1: household chore? Well, as a single father for many years 1112 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 1: of two little girls, every chore is mine. So they also, 1113 00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: I mean, because when you're you know, you're the guy 1114 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:51,759 Speaker 1: that shops with the groceries, cooks the meals and then 1115 00:47:51,840 --> 00:47:54,680 Speaker 1: throws out the trash. You're when you're that guy, they 1116 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,120 Speaker 1: all just kind of blend together, you know, that's funny. 1117 00:47:57,560 --> 00:47:59,520 Speaker 1: I saw this and I thought about this, and you 1118 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 1: know what I'm bad at And I don't know why. 1119 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. But like after I 1120 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 1: empty the dishwasher again, sometimes you take the tupper ware 1121 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,359 Speaker 1: out and it's still wet, you know, leaving on the rack. 1122 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm just gonna be using that tupper 1123 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: ware again in like three hours for something else. Why 1124 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 1: am I even putting it away? It's just out there. 1125 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,080 Speaker 1: It's just it's gonna stay on the rack. It's gonna 1126 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:19,160 Speaker 1: stay on the drawing rack. Like I'm so bad about 1127 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,480 Speaker 1: putting of all the stupid things, putting away the tupperware. 1128 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: I struggle. I love to cook. It's my only other 1129 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 1: outlet now that I have left, So that's the only 1130 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: thing I can do. But yeah, like that's the one 1131 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 1: I got. Don't mind all the other stuff, Like that's fine. 1132 00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:33,440 Speaker 1: I take care of the pool, I take care of 1133 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,560 Speaker 1: the cooking, I take care of the clean all that stuff. 1134 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,799 Speaker 1: I can't put away a tupperware to save my life. 1135 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm the worst. That's what I feel abou laundry. Like 1136 00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't mind washing laundry. I don't even mind folding laundry. 1137 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 1: Like that's fine. I can you know, I can throw 1138 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 1: a TV show on or something like you know, binge 1139 00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 1: watch something on folding laundry. It's putting it away. Here's 1140 00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 1: the question, where do you fold it? Do you fold 1141 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,480 Speaker 1: it in the laundry room or do you fold it 1142 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,560 Speaker 1: in the bedroom where the clothes go. Oh, I fold 1143 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,640 Speaker 1: it neither. I fold it in a living room on 1144 00:48:57,719 --> 00:48:59,359 Speaker 1: the couch. And then it's like that, so I take 1145 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,200 Speaker 1: an extra step. I take it from the laundry room 1146 00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,360 Speaker 1: to the couch and then to the bedroom where they go. 1147 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:06,440 Speaker 1: So maybe that's the middleman grant. What you do as 1148 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,360 Speaker 1: you cut out the middleman, you go right to the bedroom. 1149 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,920 Speaker 1: If you fold it on the bed, you're probably just 1150 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,399 Speaker 1: gonna put it away because then you have to sleep 1151 00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:15,120 Speaker 1: in the bed. That's the little trick. You were Badforms 1152 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 1: and Gardens with Joey p Live Hacks from all. Right, 1153 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 1: So you said you like to cook. Does that mean 1154 00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:25,320 Speaker 1: do you have a favorite fast food place? A fast 1155 00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:27,560 Speaker 1: food place? I do? Of course, we all have to 1156 00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,640 Speaker 1: intellergent once in a while, right, I'm not gonna lie. 1157 00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 1: I don't care who gets at judge about this. I 1158 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 1: like the White Castle, man. I don't know, man, I do. 1159 00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:36,799 Speaker 1: I don't know if you have that out there? And yeah, 1160 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 1: we don't have it here, but I have had it, yes, Yeah, 1161 00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:43,200 Speaker 1: I don't know why. Man, it's it's every everything. Maybe 1162 00:49:43,239 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: it's not good for you, it's fine something, But those 1163 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 1: little tiny sliders, I don't know. That's that's my thing. 1164 00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,880 Speaker 1: You have one, what you're to I you know what? 1165 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,520 Speaker 1: I love of the major ones. I'm not gonna wait. 1166 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,920 Speaker 1: I love Wendy's. Wendy's, Man, give me a frosty any 1167 00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,000 Speaker 1: day of the week. Bro, Wendy's is awesome. Give probably 1168 00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,799 Speaker 1: this look all the all the battles from all these 1169 00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,280 Speaker 1: places over their chicken sandwich, like the spicy chicken sandwich, 1170 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,160 Speaker 1: and Wendy's is still the goat to me, like I 1171 00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,840 Speaker 1: did like the Popeye's one. I just tried the Wendy's 1172 00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,359 Speaker 1: new one the other day because I was actually coming 1173 00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,480 Speaker 1: home late from flex draft. Right, it's late. Everyone's been 1174 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 1: drinking and hanging out after the draft. It's like a 1175 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: weird time. You didn't really eat dinner. You kind of 1176 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,320 Speaker 1: ate something earlier on, but you're at the bar that 1177 00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,000 Speaker 1: was six hours ago. So I was like, I'm kind 1178 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:26,759 Speaker 1: of hungry. I'm gonna stop at Wendy's and try this 1179 00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 1: chicken sandwich on the way home. And it was good. 1180 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 1: I thought the Popeyes was better, but Wendy's from overall, 1181 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 1: I agree, Wendy's has a lot. Everything good there is okay, yeah, right, 1182 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 1: anything that you know that's the baseline, right, It's like 1183 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,680 Speaker 1: you just wanted to be okay as opposed like someplace 1184 00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:44,920 Speaker 1: you can get that one thing there that's good. That's it. 1185 00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:46,640 Speaker 1: Don't get the other thing. Don't don't get the other 1186 00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:48,960 Speaker 1: you don't want that. So last one.
