1
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: He's the Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt Williamson on

2
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio Welcome Back.

3
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: I am Dale Lolly here with Matt Williamson and uh Matt.

4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: I mentioned an article on Football Outsiders. This was written

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: by Mike Tanier. Um. Seeing Mike in the press box

6
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,440
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of different games. I think he's

7
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: based out of Philly or on that he sat down

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: with us at the Combine. Yeah, somewhere in the eastern

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: part of the state, because I see him and when

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: we're in Philly, I see him when we're in Baltimore,

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 1: UM a lot of times. Yeah, somewhere out in that area.

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: But anyways, he did an article in Football Outsiders which

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: teams will be the most fun to watch? And some

14
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: of this is based on what we were just talking

15
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: about in the previous segment quarterback competitions. That competitions are

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: always fun to watch. That's the watch and rookies getting

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:04,119
Speaker 1: thrown in for the first time or fun to watch

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: or I'm sure like to me, I think the Jets

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: will be fun to watch, whether they're bad or not.

20
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: Wilson may fall on his face, which is fun for

21
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: me to watch. I'm not rooting for it, but you know,

22
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: or wow, he may take a big step forward which

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: is fun to watch, you know, so this will be

24
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: a good This will be a fun thing to talk about. Yeah.

25
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: He bases this on the criteria of team quality the quarterbacks, obviously, playmaking,

26
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,199
Speaker 1: core defense, and then the novelty new quarterbacks, new playmakers,

27
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: new coaches, exciting rookies, and then finally scheme um and

28
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: he ranked him thirty two two, number one, starting as

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: we would do at the bottom. His team that he

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: is not ranking at all, he's taken him off his

31
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: fun index is the Cleveland Browns. Yeah, they could be

32
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: They could be very fun to watch. They could be

33
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: a resolutely dreadful to watch depending on what happens with

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson, and some of it might turn your stomach

35
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: a little bit too. This is true as well. But

36
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: if it's just how it all plays out, a huge,

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: huge difference between DeShawn Watson and Jacoby Brissette, dude, ye

38
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: and there, they won't be a fun team to watch

39
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: just from a football standpoint. If it's preset. That doesn't

40
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: mean they can't win games, but their style play isn't

41
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: going to be exciting. It's gonna be a lot of

42
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: Nick chob Yeah, they'll be running a ball forty five

43
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: times a game, even if they're down twenty points, hoping

44
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: to get big plays on the running game. His number

45
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: thirty one team with a funded index of one one bad,

46
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: I guess yes, is the Houston Texans. I suppose. I

47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: mean they're a bad football team. There's there's no there's

48
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: no star power. There's no star power at all. The

49
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: great um. I don't even know if the head coach

50
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: coach is part of the long term plan. Like I

51
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: think Josh McCown is gonna be the head coach there,

52
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: and that lovely Smiths just a placeholder. Like they're they're

53
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: not spinning their wheels anymore, but they're not going real

54
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: fast either. Yeah, they're taking their time. Five years, the

55
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: five year planner, ten year plan whatever it might be.

56
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 1: Uh at thirty And I don't know if I agree

57
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: with this one. He is. I think this seems fun.

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: He has the Detroit Lions. I think they have some

59
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: some potential exciting offensive players. I do. I think the

60
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: offense is complete. I mean future quarterback aside, but Golfs

61
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: the NFL quarterback like the the offense are gonna trot

62
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: out there, especially when Williams is finally healthy. I think

63
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: it's formidable. It is a quality NFL offense. Yeah, I

64
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: would agree. And and you know so, I think you know,

65
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: they've done some things there. I think I think they're

66
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: being sold a little short there. Actually this next team

67
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: is too a little bit. Yeah. The twenty nine is

68
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: the New York Giants. Their fund index is one point

69
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,119
Speaker 1: to five. Um. I'm hoping at it as a more

70
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 1: fun than that group, just because new exciting head coach,

71
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: maybe Daniel Jones, like a tripsky, steps up heavily in

72
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: this new environment. When healthy, huge asterisk. When healthy Barkley Shepherd, Goladay,

73
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:27,559
Speaker 1: Tony Wandel Robinson. That's a pretty quality, high quality group.

74
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: And two young tackles like they just haven't been able

75
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: to keep them healthy. Right, It never works out, It

76
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: just never works out never. This team is the least

77
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: fun I would have to I would have the Atlanta Falcons,

78
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: who he has ay eight. They would be very very

79
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: low on my list. The Bears are next, and I

80
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: think they rival the Texans. Both these teams as team

81
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: I can at least a justin fields at least get

82
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: you a little bit of That's what I was gonna say.

83
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: At least I want to see Ridder and Fields, and

84
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: I know I'm going to see Fields. I'm not sure

85
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see Ridder right for funns or when? Yeah? Right.

86
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: My big worry with Fields is not that this is

87
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: going to ruin them, but they're gonna be so bad

88
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: this year that they're gonna be picking third and had

89
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 1: a bad year and Fields had no chance to really succeed,

90
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: and everyone's gonna look at him like he's a bust,

91
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: whether he is or not. Yeah, black, Uh, they just

92
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: they're twenty seven with the funding next to two and

93
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 1: a half, and the two and a half is probably

94
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: all justin Fields, right. Seattle doesn't even have that though. Yeah,

95
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Seattle at twenty six with the fund index of three

96
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: point five. Okay, they got Metcalf, they got lock it

97
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: m hmm. But does anybody really think Drew lock is

98
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: a fun quarterback to watch? And they're a run first

99
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,239
Speaker 1: team the defense fund? Is there anybody on the defense

100
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: that you want to watch play? No? Not really? No,

101
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I'd like to see Kenneth Walker out there. Okay,

102
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: but he might be the backup running back yeah, Hive

103
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: or the Carolina Panthers. They've got some talent. I see

104
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: some funness there, yea d J. Moore and McCaffrey and um,

105
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: I think their line is now complete defense. Yeah yeah,

106
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: I mean I think they've drafted well. There's a lot

107
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: of youth there. I'm excited about. The quarterback situation is

108
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: not fun. Yeah, the quarterback situation is awful. But right

109
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: at twenty four the Jacksonville Jaguars, I can get behind that,

110
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, to me, I'm really excited to

111
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: see what Lawrence is this year. I mean, of my

112
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: most exciting or fun players to watch this year, Lawrence

113
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: would be pretty high and I'm rooting for him. Um,

114
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to see what a t N can do

115
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: as an NFL player. Is Channault's career over And they're

116
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: not exactly my homes and Tyreek, but in terms of

117
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,279
Speaker 1: you know, funness, but there are some things to observe there. Yeah,

118
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: they're fun in the his five six or the New Boy,

119
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: I think he mentions this. I mean for a first

120
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: overall prospect, first overall pick in the drafty they don't

121
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: have much funness for that guy no offense to Traylon Walker.

122
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: I might even say it's a bad pick, but yeah,

123
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: I saw somebody put out a thing on Trayvon Walker

124
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 1: yesterday mentioning, you know, he wasn't first or second team

125
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: all SEC wasn't first or second team. You know all

126
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: American you know they pick, they pick a bunch of

127
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: guys for all these things, and he wasn't any of them. Um.

128
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, he was strictly based or drafted based on

129
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: his traits, strictly productions, and he could fail. He could fail. Yeah,

130
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: I said this on Peacock and Williams on my podcast.

131
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: I don't know who i'd take it one. I'd probably

132
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: take Walker, but I'm pretty sure the Jags are gonna

133
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: take the wrong guy. Yeah, I was their history too

134
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: shows I would take I would have taken Hutchinson. Um,

135
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: maybe taking him on the corner just be we're one

136
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: of the corners. I just don't. I don't want to.

137
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to miss on the number one overall pick.

138
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: I want to. I want him to at least be

139
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: a guy that has an opportunity to make some Pro

140
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: Bowls in his career. And I like Walker, and I

141
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: do think there's a lot of upside there, but I

142
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: don't I can't envision him being Lawrence Taylor, J J. Watts,

143
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I can't imagine him being one

144
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: of the best players at his position. He's not gonna

145
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: be Miles Garrett or TJ or you know. I don't

146
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: know that the ceiling is that high that he goes

147
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: from very little production to twenties tacks. Yeah, that would

148
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: be a pretty big jump. The Jets are at twenty

149
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: three with a with a six fun index. I think

150
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: they're rebuild as a whole from a macro level. Is fun,

151
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: but I'm a nerd that way. Yeah. Now, I like

152
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: the addition to Breeesaw. I think he brings some some

153
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: juice to the offense. They got some interesting guys first

154
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: round picks fun, Yeah, absolutely, and you want to see

155
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: what happens with the the second overall pick from a

156
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,359
Speaker 1: year ago. So yeah, like I can see that. Yeah,

157
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: this next team is not very fun. Yeah, twenty two

158
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: of the Minnesota Vikings. They do have a bit of

159
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: a jump there because the Jets fun index was six,

160
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings is nine. But they're still think they are

161
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 1: what they are, Like bad can be fun. Good is fun.

162
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: Mediocre is not fun. They're stick in yeah, kind of

163
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: stuck in neutral. And that's, you know, kind of the

164
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins thing. Yeah. I mean I like Dalvin Coke

165
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: and Justin Jefferson as much as the next guy, but

166
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: as an organization, they're kind of stuck. At twenty one

167
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: with the fun index of ten and a half are

168
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: the Colts. They're not fun. I mean they're not super

169
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 1: fun either. Yeah, I mean, Jonathan Taylor is fantastic, but

170
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: I think they could be good. Their wide receivers are

171
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: just kind of black right. There gonna be a lot

172
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: of big plays and Colts games, you know, probably not.

173
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they want a lot of big plays

174
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: in Colts games, unless it's creating turnovers on defense, which

175
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: at this point they just want Matt Ryan to manage

176
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: the game, you know, maybe, which I think they'll do fine.

177
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: I think they're a good team. I just don't know

178
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 1: that there'd be my if I could watch any team

179
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: out there, they would be lower on this list than that.

180
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: There's a big gap between the Colts at one with

181
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: the fund index of ten and a half and the

182
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: Commanders at twenty with the funding index of eighteen. There's

183
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: a chance for a forest fire here, dumpster fire. This

184
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: could go really bad. They could, you know, true or false?

185
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: They can they can win their division. They could win

186
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: that division. They could Could they finish last in that division? Yeah,

187
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: I think they could pick in the top five. I

188
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: don't think they will. I mean, I think they have

189
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 1: an NFL head coach, and I do think Went is

190
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: not junk. I don't mean it that way. But if

191
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: he's shocked at his car fin into shot and nobody

192
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: follows them, Sam, how might play the last three games

193
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 1: of the year when they're out of the playoffs, you

194
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean? And that would be bad At nineteen.

195
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans with the fund in decks of twenty,

196
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, it's a lot of the play tough,

197
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, but they're fun. They're gonna figure some stuff

198
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,560
Speaker 1: out to use Malik Willis m hm and that could

199
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: add a little fun to the to the that quos

200
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: is fun. Agree there, and I think we'll see him

201
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 1: in packages. I definitely think that. Yeah. Oh, I think

202
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: this team is on the most fun teams in the

203
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: league coming up. Yeah, the eighteen with the fund index

204
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: of twenty two and a half. Are the Eagles Now,

205
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: they were they couldn't, weren't fun to watch in the playoffs.

206
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 1: They were overmatched as bad as people said, well, you know,

207
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,559
Speaker 1: people said that, Well, the Steelers just got crushed in

208
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: their playoff game. The Eagles got beat worse than the Steelers.

209
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: I really think the Steelers, Raiders Goals and probably Patriots weren't.

210
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: You know, there were the teams you want to play

211
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: in the first round. Yeah, you know, they didn't quite belong.

212
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: But you know, the Eagles are interest. They're fun and

213
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: interesting at least. Oh, there's a lot going on there. Yeah. Absolutely,

214
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: A j Brown as fun as can be. Jordan Davis

215
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: is about the most fun of defunsive tackle could ever be.

216
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: That big dude out there causing havoc. A's seventeen with

217
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: the fun index. Also of twenty two and a half

218
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: are the Raiders the Car Adams saying, I think it's

219
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 1: really fun. Yeah. Outside of that, I really don't care.

220
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm with you. I'll see a lot

221
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: of fun there. I like Car, like Adams. I worry

222
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: though that Adam's best year was last year. Yeah, I

223
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: think that's probably going to happen like im same same thing.

224
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: I think. I think Adams and Tyreek Hill ye never

225
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: reached their former heights where these new teams. I think

226
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why they were traded. The

227
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: team's marked teams got rid of them. Yes, yeah, I

228
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: think you're right about that. I think we'll look back

229
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: three years to be like Adams was a good raider,

230
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: Hill was a good dolphin, but that wasn't worth you know,

231
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: the price of gas. You know. At sixteen are the

232
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: Saints with the point one to five fun index. I

233
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: don't know how that was figured out, but I don't either,

234
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: But I think they're fun. It's gonna be too because

235
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: they're really good, and I think it's fun to see

236
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: if they are not. Right, Yeah, absolutely at fifteen that

237
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: they weren't fun last year the Pats. I don't want

238
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: to watch a Patriots game ever. They might be thirty

239
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: one for me. If we're gonna put the Browns in

240
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: their own category, I don't like any of that. I

241
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: don't like any of their skill position players. By NFL standards,

242
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: they're like watching paint dry. Yeah, yes, you know, they're

243
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 1: not gonna wing it all over the field. Or you know. Yeah,

244
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I don't know about that one. No,

245
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: I don't. They may win games, I mean that doesn't

246
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: mean they can't win. That doesn't mean they're fun though,

247
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: but they're not fun. If fourteen build a fun guy, yeah,

248
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: nobody ever? Right? Uh? At four team with a fund

249
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: in necks of forty and a half are the Steelers.

250
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: I think that's about where they belong. I mean, I

251
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: think the defense is fun is gonna be Yeah, here's

252
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: what he wrote. Kenny Pickett versus m R. Bisky qualifies

253
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: as a B B tier quarterback controversy in a year

254
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: with none on the A or S tears. I don't

255
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 1: know what the S tier is? Na, Okay, Yeah, there

256
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: a new tier. Naji Harris, Chase Claypool, George Pickens, and

257
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: Calvin Austin headline of Diverse Playmaking Group. T. J. Watt

258
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: leads A defense is fun on a bun And who

259
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: knows how good the Steelers can be when their quarterback

260
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: doesn't need a baseball wind up in an hour of

261
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: hot yoga to throw a thirty yard to throw all

262
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: thirty yards downfield? Well, I get that. Um post Ben

263
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: in general is fun. Yeah. I mean they look at

264
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: the interest that this whole draft generated. You're drafting and

265
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: we know you're potentially drafting a quarterback. It's fun. That's fun.

266
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean post Brady in New England was fun, just

267
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: because if you watch the same thing year after year,

268
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: it's not. It's fun for the average audience. Our audience

269
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: is different. But the dude that's sitting in Chicago is

270
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: like this, there's a new quarterback at Pittsburgh. I want

271
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: to see what the Steilers look like. That's fun. And

272
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: the defense is absolutely fun to watch. I think nausea

273
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: and friar moves are fun too. Yeah, and I think

274
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: Calvin Austin, I think you're gonna do some stuff this

275
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 1: year with some of these guys. Think Pickens is certainly

276
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: a nice edition as well. Matt Canada better or worse

277
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: will be fun for the average non stealer fan. Yeah,

278
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: good way to put that. Yeah. With a fun index

279
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: of forty three point seven, five are the Dolphins. Strange

280
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: question for you? Who has more Fantasy points this year?

281
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: Tyreek or Waddle? Mm hmm. I think it's a conversation

282
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: like I don't know a dp S and any of

283
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: that stuff. Yet, but I'm sure Hills going higher. I'm

284
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: buying Waddle for the price over Hill for the price.

285
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: I think. I think you're right about that because I

286
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: just don't know that two is gonna He's not gonna

287
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field, right and in dynasty leagues,

288
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: Waddles actually worth more than Hill. Right now, we should

289
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: be him, and that makes total sense. Yeah. At twelve

290
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: with the fund indecks of forty seven point to five

291
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: are the Broncos. They have to be, you know, just

292
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: considering what we've seen at quarterbacks since Peyton Manning. Now

293
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: you insert another legit NFL quarterback watching Russell Wilson run

294
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: around is on a new team, Yeah, it's great. Yeah.

295
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: At eleven are the Green Bay Packers with the fund

296
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: indecks of fifty. See. I go the other way on

297
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: them because I think they are going to run the

298
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: ball and play defense more than they ever have. I

299
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: do not disagree. That's a slight on Rogers. That's just

300
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 1: how they're built right now. Yeah. At ten are the

301
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: Ravens with the index of fifty four. I think they

302
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: qualify as fun. I mean, another receiver would go a

303
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: long way to making them more fun. More fun happen.

304
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: But if they were traded for DK Metcalf or something,

305
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: who that's fun. But I mean the way they play

306
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: football to me is fun on offense because it's unique. Yeah,

307
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: here's here's what he says. The Ravens are likely to

308
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: steer into their skid and break out the new Rockney

309
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: playbook this season with ten running back, six tight ends

310
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 1: in three fourths of a receiver, and it will probably

311
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: work until a lamarkets blame for not being able to

312
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: lead a two touchdown comeback with Mark Andrews as his

313
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: top vertical threat, or be the entire roster gets injured simultaneously.

314
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: Here is a funny writer. But yeah, at nine are

315
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers and that they're absolutely a fun team to watch.

316
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: It might be my funnest quarterback. I mean, think about

317
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: that Steelers Chargers game from last year. That was I mean,

318
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: that was just an amazing game to watch. The back

319
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: and forth. They don't play much defense, and their their

320
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: office is explosive as hell. Going forward on fourth sounds fun. Yeah,

321
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: the same thing with the Ravens. They do a lot

322
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: of that too, and silly stuff like that. Um but yeah,

323
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: I heard some really unique analysis I wanted to just

324
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: throw out there that I didn't see Zion Johnson in

325
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: the first round to the Chargers coming at all, but

326
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 1: I heard it might didn't even one of their beat

327
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: reporters or whoever said, if you're gonna go for it

328
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: a ton on fourth and one, I want to stud

329
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: guard good good point. Okay, yeah, I'll buy that. And

330
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: then they drafted a running back today, draft um Spiller,

331
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: who's a bigger guy. Yeah, it's a bigger guy and

332
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: one right bigger yeah, right, right right? So okay, I

333
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: like when teams you peel back a team like that, Yeah,

334
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 1: that might make some sense. Yeah. Eight are the San

335
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: Francisco forty niners. I mean, I'm not. I'm just looking

336
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: at his right up and just the names land Ants

337
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: and Debot make it fun because the uncertainty of what

338
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: they are and that may all work itself out and

339
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 1: they will be a boring running team it's all done.

340
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,199
Speaker 1: But you know right now they're fun. Yeah why not? Uh,

341
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: it's straight. It's Jimmy getting traded you know at seven

342
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: with the fun indecks of seventy point to five or

343
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Um, I'm not sure why, I don't know

344
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,640
Speaker 1: if there's fun as they were last year. I mean,

345
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: like Jerry and the cheerleaders in the stadium and the

346
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: persona of that that doesn't fly anymore, right, Like they

347
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: want to run the football, Zeke z can't do it anymore.

348
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: Like Mica Parsons is one of the most fun defensive

349
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: players in the league, and I think Doc will bounce

350
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: back in a big way. But handing the ball to

351
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: a very quickly aging Zeke Elliott isn't super fun to me.

352
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: That's fun to watch it all, No, we're watching speaking

353
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: of fantasy. Zeke's going really late and fantasy nobody wants

354
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: any to do with that guy. Yeah. I was on

355
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 1: the Zeke train last year and that didn't work out

356
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: so well. He did score, I did say, get double

357
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,719
Speaker 1: digit touchdowns and he did do that. Yeah, I mean

358
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: that's certainly possible again, but he has a lot of

359
00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 1: wear and tear, even in the Ohio state. Yeah. At

360
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: six are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the funding decks

361
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 1: of seventy five. They keep running back the same team

362
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: for three years in a row. I don't know how

363
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 1: fun that is, but right, I mean they win that

364
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: parts fun new head coach I mean TV twelves always worth,

365
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, a Monday night football viewing, you know. Yeah.

366
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: At five are the Buffalo Bills with the fund indecks

367
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: of seventy five. I might have them number one, the

368
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: number one uniform. Yeah, And then there's a scalore. There's

369
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: a big jump between picks, the Bills at five with

370
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: the fund indecks of seventy five and the Bengals at

371
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: four with the funding decks of ninety three point seven five.

372
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: It's like, are the Bengals more fun than the Chargers? No? No, right,

373
00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean even the quarterbacks are a wash, which I'd

374
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: rather watch Herbert than Burrow. I love both, but I

375
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 1: think the Chargers are more fun than since I would agree, Yeah,

376
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: not to mention the charges of Khalil Mack. Now that's

377
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: fun as could be. Yeah, right, the Chargers have a

378
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: better defense, they have more think they have more fun defense.

379
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: And since He's might be a little more fundamentally sound

380
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: and solid, and Logan Wilson and good players, not great ones,

381
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: but both on Khalil Mack and Durwin James, that's fun

382
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: as could be. At three, the Arizona Cardinals at one

383
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: on one point to five. I guess they deserve it.

384
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: Suspensions unhappy over back. You got some Smurf's going on here.

385
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: I mean they have three tiny human beings that are

386
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 1: gonna play almost every snap on offense. Yeah, I mean

387
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw if you like watching bubble screens, right,

388
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: things of that natually, that's fun. Um the round as Yeah,

389
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: that's fun. I'll give them that. Yeah. Two are the

390
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: Rams at one twelve? Are they as much fun this

391
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: year's right now as they were last year? I don't

392
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: know if there's good enough last year, what Stafford gonna

393
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: look like as a Ram is more fun than They're

394
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: the super Bowl champs and it went well, I get,

395
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean Aaron Donald carries a lot of weight. But yeah,

396
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean they're top ten for sure. They're the champs,

397
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: and they're they're the showtime Lakers and arms terms of

398
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,880
Speaker 1: star power, you know. Yeah. And then at number one,

399
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: the last team or the Kansas City Chiefs with the

400
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: fun index of one twelve point to five maybe like

401
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: ten for me. Yeah, I don't know that they're they're

402
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: gonna be super fun to watch this year, kind of

403
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: like I said, with the Chiefs or the Packers. I

404
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs might run the ball a little bit more,

405
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: ask a little less of their superstar quarterback. They drafted

406
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: defense very heavily, as did Green Bay. I think they

407
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: realized that they're not every game is gonna be rasift. Yeah,

408
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: now I agree to I agree. I don't think they're

409
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: Their wide receiver group is quite as anywhere near as

410
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: explosive as the one they had last year. No, no,

411
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 1: it's not. And a lot of the more blockers, you know,

412
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: like that's on purpose. Yeah, what are they telling us?

413
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: But that is Mike Taniers fun index. That was a

414
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: fun little wasn't that fun? We say fun in the

415
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: last half hour. A lot of fun there. We had

416
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: a lot of fun in that segment. Um, we're gonna

417
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: take another break. He's had that man fun with a

418
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: period after playing in the back. Yeah, right, absolutely, some

419
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 1: nice you know, right, we're gonna take another break. We'll

420
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: be back with segment three right after this.
