1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: Wow, WoT what is up? Welcome to another edition of

00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: g Marcus Grant, alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael

00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Fabiana Man Graham Barfield. You what. Happy Wednesday? Happy Wednesday Man.

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: The teachers came back. So I've had like a week

6
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: and a half of Mr Mom duties with Matthew and

7
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: he was here last week in the studio with us.

8
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: But they came back. So now life has returned back

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: to somewhat normalcy. I feel like nobody was happier about

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: that than the parents. Yeah, we kids weren't. Certain. The

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: kids certainly were not. Matthew was. Yeah, he was like

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: to school, dude. Now, now his school got three weeks

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: off for winter break, three weeks and then strike, and

14
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: then they were back to school for a week, and

15
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: then they were strike for a week and a half.

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: I says, dude, you've barely been in school for the

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: last month and you're complaining. Well, that's the jackpot, right yeah,

18
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: right now? Are they gonna have to make that up

19
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. I don't know. I

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: don't know how that works. We have we haven't been

21
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: told about that yet, because it's almost like snow days

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: on you know, in the Northeast. It's like, oh, we

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: gotta make up a week and a half. I don't

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: know how that's all gonna work. What we'll find out.

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: That's what we had to do in Florida. I grew

26
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: up in went to school in Florida. Whenever we had

27
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: a hurricane. Um, we used to have to make it

28
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: up in the summer. And my birthdays so happens to

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: be like usually one of the first weeks of summer.

30
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: So whenever there was a hurricane, I'd always be in

31
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: school from our I usually shouldn't be. So that's the

32
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: thing California kids, we don't we don't have like we

33
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: don't have snow days, uh you know, I mean I

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: guess we don't really have you know, we don't have

35
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: earthquake often enough for it to be like a thing. Um,

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. We should have like traffic days in

37
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: l A or something. Basically, the only time that you

38
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: would get any sort of weird time off is strikes,

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: a strike or a massive earthquake, right, I mean, that's it.

40
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: That's got it, right, That is that is really it

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: behind the glass as always listening to us A banter

42
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: is our faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy esquire Murph,

43
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: what's up? No, I love the conversation you guys always

44
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: started to show up with. It's funny because in New

45
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: York we'd have we'd always somehow fine, like a snow

46
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: day would happen on a day we already had off,

47
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 1: like like there's a king, like you have the Monday

48
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: through day weekend, it's like perfect, and then a snowstorm

49
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: ware coming like Sunday night. It's like you had the

50
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: day off already. Anyway. It's kind of way. It was

51
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: just like waste, like oh man, like that happened with

52
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: quite a bit. I also got a jury duty notice

53
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: in the mail. That's oh my god, good with that?

54
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: Well I got It's funny you mentioned this. I gotta

55
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: did you get one? No, not a jury duty not yet,

56
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: I got apparently I ran the toll road. Is it

57
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: is that a real hundred of dollars? It's a hundred dollars,

58
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: a hundred dollar toll fine? Wait how long were you

59
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: in the toll lane? I mean wait, wait, wait, wait

60
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: wait here. And that might have been your first offense.

61
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: But here because I think it's I think we're off

62
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: the bat. It's usually the way of the first one completely,

63
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 1: and then if you don't pay it to a certain day,

64
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: then they double it. Sounds like I thought it was

65
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: just like they send you a ticket or a bill

66
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,399
Speaker 1: for the amount of the tolls. The toll was three

67
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: dollars or whatever, they said, do something for three dollars.

68
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: You should call about that. I have never seen a

69
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: toll fine of a hundred dollars because the same thing.

70
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: In Florida, we have fun, we had funds. Yeah, toll roads,

71
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: and you would be fine, like five bucks or something

72
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, you know that, don't mess around here.

73
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: Usually it is usually it is the amount of the toll.

74
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: Like if the if the toll they're supposed to pay

75
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: was you know, five dollars, and they send you something

76
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: for five dollars, then, like Eddie said, if you don't

77
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: pay it, then you know they doubled. They you know,

78
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: front you or whatever. Actually, so yeah, you should you

79
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: should break a phone that. Yeah, I would definitely do that.

80
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: That's a little ridiculous. Well, you know, obviously when you're

81
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: here in late January, so there's not quite as much

82
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: football to talk about. We will talk about some some

83
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: guys that maybe you know, like we'll figure out if

84
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: these guys are actually good or not. We'll start a

85
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: little series. I'd like to start, Hero or Hype, will

86
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: go through several positions. We'll talk qubs today. Let's do

87
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: some fun things with movies and the like. But first

88
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: let's do some news time. First better news we got

89
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: is that you can stream the Super Bowl live on

90
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: the Yahoo Sports app or the NFL app. I know

91
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: we're still a couple of weeks away, and so you know,

92
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: you guys get two full weeks of hype and chatter

93
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: and stories that you've probably already heard and are going

94
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: to hear at nauseam and we'll be sick of by

95
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: the time the Super Bowl actually kicks off. But we

96
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: will let you know that you can stream it live

97
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 1: on Yahoo and the NFL app, Yahoo Sports app and

98
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 1: the NFL app as well. Um, speaking of Super Bowls,

99
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles are still your defending champions for another couple

100
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: of weeks until whatever happens in Atlanta happens. But there's

101
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: already dissension apparently in Philadelphia. Story that came out recently

102
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: talking about Carson Wentz describes him as selfish and uncompromising.

103
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 1: And look, there's a lot of anonymous story, a lot

104
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: of a lot of anonymous sources in this thing. And

105
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: you know whatever, some Eagles have come out saying that

106
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: this is all wrong and none of this is true,

107
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 1: and we love Carson Wentz and what have you. Whatever.

108
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: The part that I as I read this article that

109
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: I took away from it, though, was about how the

110
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: offense operated under Carson Wentz versus Nick Foles. And I

111
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: don't know that we needed anonymous sources to tell us

112
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: what we could pretty much see in that Carson Wentz

113
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: had eyes for Zach Ertz. He threw the ball to

114
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: Zach or It's a lot when Nick Foles was in there,

115
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles tended to spread the ball around a little

116
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: bit more. And not that Arths didn't get targets. You

117
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: obviously had a couple of huge games with Nick Foles

118
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: at quarterback, but it seemed like more guys were involved

119
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: in the offense now fabs it. It looks like Nick

120
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: Foles is not going to be back next year. He

121
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: says he wants a starting opportunity somewhere. That somewhere is

122
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: not going to be Philadelphia as long as Carson Wentz

123
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 1: is there and is healthy. But if Carson Wentz, who

124
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: we expect who has been named the starter, is back,

125
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: does this mean that we are not as big on

126
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: guys like al Sean Jeffrey or Nelson Aghaloor whomever else

127
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: not named zach Ertz in that offense? But are we?

128
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: You know, regardless of an Alshon, Jeffrey's probably going to

129
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: go as a three in twenty nineteen drafts are it's

130
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: clearly going to be a one. But also, and there's

131
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: two sides to every story, which we found out a

132
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: lot about with this whole mess with the Covington's school.

133
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: But Wentz has also had teammates and coaches come out

134
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 1: and defend him as well. So I think in every

135
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: locker room there's always gonna be a few dudes out

136
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: there who are going to have an opinion that may

137
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: not be popular or maybe surprising enough where someone goes

138
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: out and writes a story about it. But to me,

139
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, this is a non story because

140
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: Nick Foles is probably gonna end up maybe in Jacksonville,

141
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: for Wentz is going to be the guy and Let's

142
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: remember that Wentz was probably the m v P of

143
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: the National Football League just a season ago before he

144
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 1: went down against the Rams with that knee injury. He

145
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: was having and just an enormous season both on the

146
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: field and from a fantasy perspective. So I for one

147
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: would love to see these stories come out because that

148
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: means I'm going to get Carson Wentz even later in

149
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: my trap next season. Well, and that's I mean, that's

150
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: part of it, though, Graham. I mean, like, do we

151
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: do we discount Carson Wentz? I mean, look, maybe he

152
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: only does throw it to xaccurates, but the fact of

153
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: the matter is he was still when he was healthy

154
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: two seasons ago, putting up solid numbers, and I think

155
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: as long as he's healthy again, he's he shouldn't theory

156
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: be that guy once again. I think a lot of

157
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: people are just trying to find the right way to

158
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: explain why Nick Foles has done so well. You know,

159
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of what it is. I mean,

160
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: no one can really explain full So everyone's trying to

161
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: come back and either you know, be smirked Wentz or

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: make make him a lesser talent than we know him

163
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: to be Um. I think that's really all it comes

164
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: down to, you know, by the way, I mean, Wentz

165
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: kind of got shut down for a back injury he

166
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: semi played through and then kind of didn't play through

167
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: with the I mean it was just kind of we

168
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: were kind of left on this weird note with the

169
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: wins at the end of the season and then the

170
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: Eagles one fourth straight, they almost beat the Ants oft

171
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: fal Shunt didn't have that drop. I mean, they were

172
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: close to being the Saints. So I think just so

173
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: many people are just trying to figure out folds for

174
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: what he is, and then kind of shoehorn and Wins

175
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: his injury issues into this slight kind of debacle folds him.

176
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: It's really straightforward for me too. I'm the same way.

177
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: It's just kind of like wins is their quarterback folds

178
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: right on this. He's impossible to predict because he had

179
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 1: that one year in where he was like twenty seven

180
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: and two, right he had he had a ridiculous touchdown

181
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: to interception ratio. But then the following season mediocre at best,

182
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: had eight games, and then he went to the Rams

183
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: and then his career sort of spiraled downward from there.

184
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: Right before he came and became the hero of the

185
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: City of Brotherly Love, leading them to a super Bowl

186
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: championship over the Patriots UH last season. But what what

187
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: The bigger story here is where Foals ends up because

188
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz is the dude man, and it's a deep position.

189
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: We're going to talk quarterbacks a little bit more uh

190
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: in the show, but the position is so ridiculously deep

191
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: that Carson Wentz is a guy that I will absolutely

192
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: likely target late in the draft because that's where he's

193
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: gonna go next season. If Nick folds as a starter,

194
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: would you does it depend where he goes or would

195
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: you just don't take a chance. I don't know that

196
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: I even think about a draft in him. It does,

197
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: but I mean, his numbers weren't great when he started

198
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: this season. His first couple of games he was actually bad.

199
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,839
Speaker 1: His numbers were were pretty bad, and then towards the

200
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: end of the season he had a couple of big games.

201
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: But I'm not sold on Nick Foles. I don't know

202
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: that he makes a massive fantasy impact regardless of what

203
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: team he's on next season. All right, Well, and that's

204
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: gonna be I know, we're gonna definitely talk about about it.

205
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: It could help, It could help the players around him,

206
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: you know, for example, if he ends up going to

207
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, which is first been room at every quarterback

208
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: room to go to the Jaguars. But you know, that

209
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: could be good news, you know for their young wide

210
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: receiving corps there and uh, you know they'll get your

211
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: how Marquis slid back from the a c l s

212
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: almost forgot about that guy. Yeah, they've got they've got

213
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: some good young wide receivers in Jacks. They have a

214
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: lot of wide reson they do not I'm not sure

215
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: how many of them are good per se, but they

216
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of them. I think they just have

217
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: like five number two's and three. I think it's probably

218
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: I think that I think that the fair way to

219
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: just Gallarmin since a really good number two and they

220
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: just kind of let him and they right, Yeah, I

221
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: think I think that's a fair dist which might have

222
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: been a good decision. Maybe we'll see, Uh, Todd Gurley,

223
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: we haven't seen much of him in the last month

224
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: or so. Uh. Some of it's certainly injury. We didn't

225
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: see a lot of him in the NFC Championship game.

226
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: He says it wasn't because he's heard it just says

227
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: because he was quote sorry, uh, he didn't play very

228
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: well and so that was the reason he was standing

229
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: on the sideline. I can't imagine Graham. I mean, I

230
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 1: know people will look at it, and we we try

231
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: to project, especially from late season and postseason. But I

232
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: just think that, you know, looking at his body of

233
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: work and looking at his his role in the offense,

234
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: he's still going to be one of the candidates for

235
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: the number one overall pick next year. Right, dude, He's

236
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: got seven hundred touches in the last eighteen months. It's

237
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: a lot. You tell me your body wouldn't feel that, absolutely,

238
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: But is that is that a cause for concern and

239
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: maybe a reason to draft, say Kwan Barkley number one?

240
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: Sure it is, I mean yeah, I mean he injured

241
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,079
Speaker 1: his ankle in Week ten, hurt his knee late in

242
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 1: the season, clearly. I mean, look, who's been the best

243
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: running back in Los Angeles for the last four weeks.

244
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: C J. Anderson. Yeah, I mean it's it's wild. It's

245
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: wild in these streets. Um. Yeah, I honestly, like Girly

246
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: can say, well, I appreciate him trying to take the

247
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: high road here. He's clearly not a hundred, clearly not

248
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: offense would be giving him twenty touches per game like

249
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: normal if you were help. So he's top five, that's

250
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no question about that. Is he the

251
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: number one pick? I think you can make a lingering

252
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: because of the concerns with his knee and ankle. I

253
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: think you can make like an argument and the touches. Yeah. Well,

254
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: and the fact that you know, asking him to do

255
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: this three years in doing it back to back years

256
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: is one thing. Ask him to do a three years

257
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: in a row is something else. I will say that

258
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: I am throwing my hat early on here in in

259
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: you know, late January, throwing my hat in the ring

260
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: for Christian McCaffrey as the number one overall. Well as

261
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: long as Cam Newton is gonna be gonna be under center.

262
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, but the right this this upcoming season, um

263
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: you've got I mean, we we talked about it. I

264
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: wrote about this in my hundred and fifty Fantasy Facts.

265
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: The running back position is better and younger than it's

266
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: ever been before. And you can probably make an argument

267
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: for three to five running backs to be the number

268
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: one overall pick. I think, so, I think we're gonna

269
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: have it. I means sort of like this past year,

270
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: we had what like four guys that we all considered

271
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: to be the number one pick. Now, obviously David Johnson

272
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: didn't quite live up to that, but he was in

273
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: the running. And I think this year you're going to

274
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: have a handful of guys that we're going to debate

275
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: until we get to August about who's gonna be. And

276
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: if Levian Bell ends up in Indianapolis, for example, he's

277
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: gonna get thrown in the mix too, right, So I

278
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 1: mean this, this conversation is just begin Yeah. Uh, the

279
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: National Football League for with whom we are all employed,

280
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: says they want to make you are you warning us

281
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: to not? Uh look, I like whop on the refs

282
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: too much? There. I like my job, That's all I'm saying. Uh.

283
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: They're discussing a plan to potentially make pass interference reviewable. Now,

284
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: obviously this comes in the wake of the uh Tommy

285
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: Lee Lewis Nickel rugging home in uh the bockle that

286
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: happened at the end of the NFC Championship game. And

287
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: I know, look, this this is a theory or an

288
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: idea that has been thrown around for a while, so

289
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: this isn't something that just appeared recently, but obviously after

290
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: what happened on Sunday, it has become a much bigger conversation.

291
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: I guess my only question is for us fantasy wise,

292
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: if if they make them reviewable and we can have

293
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: all these extra pass interferences like shouldn't we put something

294
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: in where we get we get yard? That shouldn't we

295
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't get yardist told us for that, because otherwise it

296
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 1: doesn't really I mean, it's obviously a game changer. I

297
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: want something out of it. I want to know if

298
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: my receiver, you know, gets hammered down field, that I

299
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: get those yards there somewhere. Well, they don't go into

300
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 1: the stat sheets, unfortunately they're not in the stat books.

301
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: But I think almost everything should be reviewable up to

302
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: a point like I don't know that a head coach

303
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: should be able to throw a red flag for a

304
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: holding call, let's say, right, for example, I don't know

305
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: that that should be reviewable. Um, but some of these,

306
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: like the roughing the passer penalty that the Chiefs had

307
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: against the Patriots, were basically you know, Tom Brady was caressed,

308
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: he was slightly touched and it was a fifteen yard penalty.

309
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: He was he was slightly touched. It was ridiculous. So

310
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: some of this stuff needs to be because pass interference.

311
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: And we've seen this and it's become it's become more

312
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: and more rampant. And I think part of it is

313
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: we have more sort of you know, sort of sort

314
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: of you have you have your phones, you have Internet,

315
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: there's more ways to see the bad calls. Right, So

316
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: people all have an opinion on this kind of thing.

317
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: But the Saints were legitimately robbed of probably I would

318
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: say I got a point about that. But chance to

319
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: kick a field goal and win the game. My my

320
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: point would be this. The rest miss calls on both

321
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: sides of the Goff face mask. Also the Goff face mask.

322
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: The first thing that comes to mind, because that play

323
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: would have potentially set up a red zone opportunity for

324
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: the Rams. They ended up kicking a fickle. Secondly, it's

325
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: third and ten. It's a reason it's third and ten.

326
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: There Sean Payton did not yes like this he does

327
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: have This call has somehow absolved Sean Payton and Drew

328
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: Brees are really just making a mess of that whole series.

329
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, you threw a terrible pass on first down

330
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: that stops the clocks of the Rams. Don't use the

331
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: time pretty short arms that throw, by the way, he

332
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: never does that. And then on third and teens you

333
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: were throwing to Tommy Lee Lewis of all people, I mean, like,

334
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 1: these made a complete mess of that series. And somehow,

335
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: because the rest is the call, they have been dissolved

336
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: of everything there. And I think it was because it

337
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: was so blatantly obvious. Is either pass interference, helmet to hell,

338
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: run the ball for the Rams, use their time out,

339
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: get some clock down, and then kick a field goal.

340
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: I think I think this is a microcosm of of

341
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: being kind of captured in the moment. Because it was

342
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: a third and ten, it was obviously huge play in

343
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: the game because it should have been called. That should

344
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: have been first in goal for the Saints. Let's not right,

345
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, let's not go over those facts. But like

346
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: the Saints did not have the best game playing into

347
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: this game, and and honestly, like if you look at

348
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: Breezes numbers towards the end of the season and into

349
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs, he wouldn't very good. He wasn't very good.

350
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: Mar Saints couldn't run the football either. Mark Ingram and

351
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara both saw a fewer than ten carriers against

352
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: the Rams defense that was basically all year one of

353
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: the five worst run defense at the NFL. And we're

354
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: the worst run defense against teams that would run out

355
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: of eleven personnel. The Saints are the perfect team to

356
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: run out of eleven personnel with Alvin Kamara, and they

357
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: didn't do it. I mean, it was just, you know,

358
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: we we kept seeing these weird taste on hill players

359
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: where it was like almost always pending disaster. That is

360
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 1: that That's the thing that I will never get over

361
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: them America combined for seventeen carries for yards. Yeah no, hey, listen,

362
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: the Saints are partially to blame here. What my argument

363
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: is is that they were robbed of the opportunity to

364
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: kick that field goal, kill the clock basically and end

365
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: the game. And you know what, it would have it

366
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: definitely would have been the game. Let's let's could have

367
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: missed it, probably not. It could have been blocked, probably not.

368
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: But I mean, I guess my broader point here is

369
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: there's so many little things that the officials missed within

370
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: the game, and yes this is a huge one on

371
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,479
Speaker 1: third and ten they missed and a key game, but

372
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: so many things that they miss on a game to

373
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: game basis that these teams have to move through that

374
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: this one just got blown out of because the playoff

375
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: game in a super I do think that it is

376
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: smart to to make p I is revealable, though, because

377
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: we've seen some that are just ridiculous, just absolutely ridiculous,

378
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: and that's what we have replayed for. I think you

379
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: do have to sort of, you know, consider, Okay, these

380
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: are not reviewable, these players are not reviewable. But there's

381
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: got to be some plays now that that you know,

382
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: are called judgment calls. Right now, Well, sometimes the referees

383
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: judgment is bad. My mine was bad on that one play.

384
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: My addendum to that, and what I've always felt about

385
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: past interference is we need we need two versions of

386
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: past interference. We we need we need the hey, two

387
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: guys get their feet tangled up, and you know that's

388
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 1: a what called it, a five tim whatever it called,

389
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: you know, and then the blatant like a personal right

390
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: like hey, I'm gonna get beat, so I'm gonna I'm

391
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: gonna smack you. I'm gonna drag you down to keep

392
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: from giving up a touchdown and then that there's a

393
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: spot foul. We we you know, like I it frustrates

394
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: me when a team gets bailed out on third and

395
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: long they throw a hail Mary or whatever and a

396
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: guy kind of you know, two guys kind of run

397
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: into each other and something. It's a forty yard penalty

398
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: like that. That drives me. Another thing, too, is the

399
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: the overtime rules. I think those need to be changed.

400
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to college to college and back them up

401
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: to the perfect talk about like midfield, I mean, bald

402
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: midfield is to college, I mean, you really like. And

403
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: then you hear people who don't want more things eligible

404
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: to be reviewed complaining that the games would be longer.

405
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: All right, the games would be what five, five or

406
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: ten minutes longer tops, And you're not telling me that

407
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: the passion that this country has and other countries have

408
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: for the National Football League, they're going to complain about

409
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: an extra five minutes of football and the overtime rule.

410
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: How much fun would it have been to be able

411
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: to see I mean, if Brady and Mahomes go back

412
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: and forth and back and forth and see which defense

413
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,639
Speaker 1: could stop which offense first determine who goes to the

414
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. People are complaining that reviews take too long

415
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:39,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They should watch a few college football

416
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: that is true. Okay, enough about that, and Matt Smith

417
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: was interviewed recently by NFL dot Com and one of

418
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: the things he said was that the Cowboys under Scott

419
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: Lenahan were predictable and that basically everybody sort of knew

420
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: what was coming and that put a lot of onus,

421
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,879
Speaker 1: especially on Dak Prescott, to try to make plays in

422
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: the offense. I don't know. I mean, FAPs obviously are

423
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: our resident Cowboys fan here. I don't know that what

424
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: he is saying is I feel like everybody has kind

425
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: of been saying this for a while. I mean, I

426
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: guess because it's intt Smith saying it, it gets some

427
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: more traction. I mean, when Lenahan was let go, like

428
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: that's Bryant tweeted out the Kermit drinking tea figures Like,

429
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: I feel like this, there's nothing really controversial about this,

430
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: Like we we all sort of knew how this offense

431
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: was going to work on most most weeks. And you

432
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: remember that there was a report out there initially that

433
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: Lanahan was going to be retained, and as a Cowboys fan,

434
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, come on, dude, like give us

435
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: a break here. We've got so much talent on offense,

436
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: especially with the trade of Marie Cooper that Lenahan had.

437
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: You know what, from a fantashy perspective, he was a

438
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: fun offensive coordinator, had some time in St. Louis and Detroit.

439
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: But and you know, I actually was way down on

440
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: Jason Garrett to after that Tennessee game. I wanted him

441
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: going to That's not gonna happen. I was a little

442
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: bit uh angry about that whole situation. But that I

443
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: like that they're talking about bringing in Kellen Moore, who's

444
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: one of the young up and coming offensive minds, uh

445
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: former quarterback, and that would be to me exciting because

446
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: the Cowboys would be sort of jumping on the bandwagon

447
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: of who's the next Sean McVeigh. You know, they've seen

448
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: We've seen so many young offensive minded coaches get hired

449
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: across the National Football League, some of which we're not

450
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: sure really deserved it based on their resume um. And

451
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,639
Speaker 1: there's a couple of those, and there could be another

452
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: one coming up and since. But um, I'm interested to

453
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: see what the Cowboys do, what direction they go in.

454
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 1: But one thing that we definitely need to see they

455
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: need to be more creative with Dak Prescott, and Dak

456
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 1: Prescott needs to be able to run the football a

457
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: little bit more because that is where he becomes an

458
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: even greater weapon for the Cowboys. We need to see

459
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: them join the Fray. And what I mean by the

460
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: phray is maybe start calling a couple of past plays

461
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: on first down. Last couple of years. The last couple

462
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: of years, the Cowboys have been first and um they've

463
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: been first in the run rate on first and ten

464
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: for three straight years at six. The league average is um, yeah,

465
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: I'd love to see some more some more Cooper on

466
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: first down. I'd like to see some more Jack read

467
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: option on first down. I mean the Cowboys just yeah,

468
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: they're They're extremely predictable because they run on first and

469
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: tens with with with Zeke well and I imagine that

470
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: that will probably be discussed with you know, whoever ends

471
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: up calling plays next year for this team. I mean,

472
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: obviously we talked about this being a copycat league, so

473
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: I would think that now, especially now with the Mari

474
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: Cooper there, and we saw how much I'd opened up

475
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: the passing game. Maybe they do switch that up. Eli

476
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: Manning's agents says, quote, I think the quarterback will be

477
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: back in New York. I mean we've we've sort of

478
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 1: been trending this way for a while, Graham, you know,

479
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: all the talk during the last part of the regular season,

480
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: and I see Eddie just kind of shaking his head

481
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: over there right now. But sorry, Eddie. I mean it

482
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: just it seems like for the last I don't know,

483
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 1: a couple of months of the season, it was sort

484
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 1: of trending this way. So yeah, I mean the Giants

485
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: made their bed. They're gonna lie in it. I mean,

486
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: that's kind of how it is. I mean, they they

487
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: drafted a running back. They drafted a running back into

488
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: talk about not going down that rabbit Silver would though

489
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: not a m morning. I'm not going down to that

490
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: rabbit hole. But I will say they made their bed.

491
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: They're gonna have to line it. Um. They have a

492
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: top ten pick again. Luckily they can pick Dwayne Haskins.

493
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 1: Maybe they feel frisky about Kyler Murray. But this is it.

494
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, outside of getting Folds or Flacco, I mean

495
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: that's really the only option they have there aren't. This

496
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: is not a great quarterback year in the draft. I mean,

497
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: you mentioned they knew that, you mentioned Murray, you mentioned Haskins.

498
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:43,439
Speaker 1: I mean we're looking at what Drew lock maybe. Uh yeah,

499
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just not a great year for quarterbacks

500
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: this year. Haskins and Murray both. I mean, I mean,

501
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: I think we both agree, but they're both going to

502
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: take some time. They have they both have flaws. This

503
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: is this is not a situation where even where like

504
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, I was kind of like, yeah, I can

505
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: see it right week one or week two you started.

506
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: I don't see with either of them this off too.

507
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 1: So obviously we're gonna be covering this, and we're be

508
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 1: covering the first night, first round. This could be one

509
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: of those drafts whereas a fantasy analysts were just sitting

510
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: and waiting for someone to get picked that has any

511
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: kind of fantasy value because it's going to be a

512
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 1: lot of defensive I'm really excited for Josh Allen. By

513
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: the way. By the way, I saw our friend Daniel

514
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: Jeremiah just released his first mock draft like a week

515
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: or so ago, and he has Josh Allen the linebacker

516
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: going to the Jets, and so I'm excited about the

517
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: prospect of Josh Allen appentually sacking Josh Allen. You know,

518
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: he has to go to the Jets or the Patriots

519
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: or the Dolphins, just somewhere Josh Allen every year. I mean,

520
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: this is it has to happen. We need this, We

521
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: need this in our lives. All right, Slanthy news segment.

522
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: But that's is pretty much everything you need to know.

00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: dot com. Alright, so I mentioned it the little thing

538
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: you will do occasionally in this offseason hero or hype,

539
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: where I went through and looked at some players that

540
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,679
Speaker 1: their stats, their fantasy numbers, or at least their potential

541
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: suggests that maybe these guys are really good and there's

542
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: hype behind them at some points during the year, maybe

543
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: in the preseason, maybe mid season would of view, but

544
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: when you look at their week to week production, it

545
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: leaves you wondering, like, are these guys actually good or

546
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 1: you know, did we just talk ourselves into believing that

547
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: these guys were actually good? So I could put four

548
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks on this list, three of whom actually played all year,

549
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: one of whom played just a handful of games, but

550
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: has a whole lot of hype behind him. So we'll

551
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 1: break this down first one Kirk Cousins. And Kirk Cousins

552
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,479
Speaker 1: came into the season with all sorts of hype. I mean,

553
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: we saw what he did in Washington all those years,

554
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: and we thought, okay, well, now he goes to Minnesota

555
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:32,360
Speaker 1: and it's a better offense and he's got more weapons

556
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: and and you know, this is a guy who was

557
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback the last few years. He for

558
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: sure is going to be like a top five guy Ryan.

559
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: I mean, he was everybody's favorite quarterback in drafts. He

560
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: ends the year as the QB thirteam uh just under

561
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: forty yards, thirty touchdowns, ten interceptions, and for the most

562
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,239
Speaker 1: part was fairly messed. So you know, when you look

563
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: through the you know, he started the year pretty hot,

564
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: had a big low kind of in the middle of

565
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: the year, and was just okay down the stretch. So,

566
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean, fabs is Kirk Cousins, is he actually good

567
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: or what I mean? Dude? I mean, he's a he's

568
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. And from a fantasy perspective, I mean,

569
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 1: I mean he he did get you based on standards scoring,

570
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 1: he was right there in the top twelve. So he's

571
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: a player that underperformed based on all of the expectations

572
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: that we had because he was going to Minnesota and

573
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: he has to find Digs and Adam DeLand and you

574
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: know the running game in Dblin Cook. But really the

575
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: Vikings offense as a whole um what was somewhat of

576
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: a of a disappointment when you sort of look at hey,

577
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 1: you know Kirk Cousins yards. This is an era where

578
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: guys are throwing forty you know, forty seven, and we

579
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: were thinking much bigger numbers we're gonna be coming from

580
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. That didn't happen. But all of the guys

581
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: that you have listed here, none of them are going

582
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 1: to be drafted as QB once. And Dak Prescott was

583
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: the QB ten this season. He was just really inconsistent.

584
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: There were weeks where Dak Prescott was waiver wire father.

585
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: Then there was weeks, especially once the Cowboys acquired a

586
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper, where Dak was suddenly very fantasy relevant. Uh

587
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: only had twenty two touchdown passes six rushing touchdowns. Again,

588
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: I think I think he's had six rushing touchdowns and

589
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: each of his first three seasons. I have to look

590
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: that up. I'm not sure that's correct, but I mean

591
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: that is. Um. You know, that's where we're at with

592
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Where we talked about a Drobiski and

593
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: a Dac and Jimmy Garoppolo. These guys are all QB

594
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: twos now, which is odd to say because Kirk Cousins

595
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,080
Speaker 1: was so highly thought of going into twenty eighteen drafts

596
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: and a player that you know outside of the you know,

597
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: the top five or six guys fantasy owners were targeting,

598
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 1: and that now is not going to be the case.

599
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 1: What have you done for me lately? Now he's going

600
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: to be a late round QB two that could end

601
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: up being a decent bargain. And we're going to see

602
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: that with a lot of quarterbacks because the position is

603
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: so deep. By the way, yes, he has rushed for

604
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: six touchdowns in each of his first three season. That's insane.

605
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's ever happened his his his rush

606
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: TV line, it's six evil, it's evil. Uh yeah, great,

607
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: thanks dak Um. Well, since since he mentioned that gramm,

608
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean, like, you know, we'll see what happens with

609
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: a new play caller coming in this year, how this

610
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: offense maybe evolved. But I mean, you know, aside from

611
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: he had that stretch as a rookie when he took

612
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: over for Tony Romo and things were great. Then he

613
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: had this stretch last year where you know, Zeke wasn't there,

614
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 1: he didn't play well, and then the talk was, well,

615
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: he can't succeed without Ezekiel Elliott. There, Um he gets

616
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: a Mark Cooper, he has a couple of really big games.

617
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: Where are we on back right now? Going back to

618
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: last year real quick to he played, he was awesome.

619
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: Uh those first couple of games the year when Tyron

620
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: Smith and Zeke were both healthy. Then obviously they both

621
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: got hurt or Tyrant got hurt, and then ze Goot spended. Um.

622
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 1: The big thing I guess is it's just amazing. But

623
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: like Dak, Prescott has average twenty four Fantasy points per

624
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: game with the Mark Cooper versus like just under twenty

625
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: one Fantasy points per game in his career without Cooper,

626
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: So that to me, I think there's extra couple of

627
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: to see points in the passing game because he's always

628
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna have the rushing numbers. Like James mentioned, does not

629
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 1: matter if Mark group is there, He's going to run

630
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: the ball and have some scores. But the big passing

631
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: ceiling now with Cooper's the big one for me. Um,

632
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 1: if we could go back to Cousins real quick, because

633
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: I have an interesting point on him. Their offense kind

634
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: of fell apart late in the year. Last year. I

635
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: kind of think all I had to do with the

636
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: offensive line, um or A lot of it had to

637
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: do with the offensive line. I shouldn't say it all

638
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: had to do with the offensive line, but the Vikings

639
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: gave up the third highest pressure rate last year, behind

640
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: only the Dolphins and the Cardinals. We both know there

641
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: their offensive lines. Both the Dolphins and Cardinals are terrible.

642
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: But I mean Cousins had no chance on third downs

643
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: last year. He was pressured on half of his dropbacks

644
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: on third downs. Half that was only the Cardinals were worse. UM,

645
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, Like, it was such a weird

646
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: end of the year for for for the Vikings, you know,

647
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: ousting their oc basically a couple of games before the

648
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: end of the season. They were like right in the

649
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: thick of the playoffs front and then they make us

650
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: they make a switch. I don't know, I really don't

651
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: know what to make of the Viking season. And I

652
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: still think Kirk Cousins is like, I'm still a Kirk

653
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: Cousins stand Kirk Cousins truth or. And he definitely played

654
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: very poorly at the end of the year last year. Um,

655
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: but he also started the year with the first eight

656
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: or nine games, he was one of the best quarterbacks

657
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And if if you weren't, if you

658
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: don't agree, I mean you either weren't paying attention. But

659
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean he was awesome to start the year right,

660
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: and he really struggled late in the year, and a

661
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: lot of it, I think it has to do with

662
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line falling apart and clearly some dissension between

663
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and if you look at you know, Cousins,

664
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 1: he was over his first four games, he was QB ten,

665
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: QB three twenty three against Buffalo in that game that

666
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: everyone thought the Vikings wearing to destroy the Bills and

667
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,680
Speaker 1: they ended up on the on the losing end, and

668
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: then QB four against the Rams. So and three of

669
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: his first four starts he was a top ten Fantasy

670
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks well. And then after that it started to go

671
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: up and down, and there was a lot more down

672
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 1: than up unfortunately. I mean I know that, you know,

673
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: just just reading Vikings Twitter and kind of seeing what

674
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: they're talking about, there's definitely a sense that they need

675
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: to focus on the offensive line. This office. Doubt there

676
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: will be a lot of that, either through free agency

677
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: or the draft, maybe some of both, that they will

678
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: try and do that. I mean obviously defensively, this team

679
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: seems set. Mike Zimmer as the head coach, has certainly

680
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: given a focus to the defense, and now it's about

681
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: time to to kind of shore up that offense, especially

682
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: in a division that is still very winnable, you know,

683
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, the Packers have their issues that

684
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: they're trying to figure out. The Bears have a great defense,

685
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: They've they've got some issues to figure out offensively. Uh,

686
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: the Lions were just complete mess this year. So it's

687
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: a it's a very winnable division and the Vikings trying

688
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: to get themselves there. Speaking of the Bears, Mitchell trubiskub

689
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 1: bears right, and I said that this year the Bears

690
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: would go as far as Mitchell Trubisky could take them.

691
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: And I mean for the most part it was true,

692
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: minus you know, a Cody Parky double doink uh at

693
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: the end of a playoff game that that costs them. Sorry,

694
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: Adam rank Sorry Adam Rank. Um trubiscuit was I mean,

695
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: you want to talk about the epitome of of feast

696
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: or Ammon right? I mean he would give you a

697
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: couple of you know, fourteen fifteen point games. Then he

698
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: had you know, he had a forty three point game

699
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers. Right, he had a thirty one point

700
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: game against the Patriots, and he will give you eight

701
00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks later against the Buffalo Bills. Just

702
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: absolutely feast or famine for an offense that tried to

703
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: put pieces around him this year. I mean they went out,

704
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 1: they got Trey Burton, who was you know, mixed reviews

705
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: I think on his performance this year. You know, Treat

706
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: Cohen I thought kind of emerged this year. Allen Robinson

707
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: was so so um. I mean, is it is it

708
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: just about they need better pieces around him? This Mitch r.

709
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: Bisky is he's still developing. I mean, it's just he

710
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: like I said he was, he was up and down.

711
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: He was feast or famine this year. There was no

712
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: real telling what you're gonna get from Mr. Rubisky on

713
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: a lot of his fantasy success though, and you know

714
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: he had success through the air as well. But I

715
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:51,520
Speaker 1: mean look at his rushing totals. Right when he started

716
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: to get hot. He had that fifty three yard rushing

717
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: game against Tampa Bay, and then he rushed for forty

718
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 1: seven against the Dolphins, eighty one in a touchdown against

719
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots rush for if you want against the Jets

720
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: had six against Buffalo and had an awful game that

721
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 1: rushed for eighteen and a touchdown the following week, and

722
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 1: then forty three the following week. So a lot of

723
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: what Trubisky's numbers are are are showing me is that

724
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 1: if he's able to get out and run the football,

725
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: which is clearly not going to be something that that

726
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: Naggi's gonna want to be doing weekend and week out,

727
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 1: he's going to have success. From a fantasy perspective. I've

728
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: always thought that Drbinski, beginning in this season, was going

729
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: to be a better fantasy quarterback than he is a

730
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: real quarterback, and we've seen a lot of that just

731
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 1: because of the rules around the National Football League and

732
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,439
Speaker 1: what Trubisky was able to do with his legs really

733
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: elevated him to a guy that became for a time

734
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: a weekend and week out fantasy starter. When teams were

735
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,240
Speaker 1: able to sort of limit what he did on the ground,

736
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: or he just didn't have the number of rushing attempts

737
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: that would be necessary for him to succeed and have

738
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: a good yardage total per game, he was average. He

739
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: really was average. Yeah, you know, one thing. One thing

740
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 1: I'll say, just to back up real quick on fact

741
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: at this point, Okay, this is basically his rookie season.

742
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: I don't care about the two thousand seventeen years that

743
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 1: that that year, doubt with dal Loggins at the offensive courts,

744
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: I don't care. But there did not happen. Drabinsky looked

745
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: like a rookie quarterback this year. He missed some big throws,

746
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: he made some humongous throws in that second half against

747
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles. UM. He was just a consistent in a

748
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 1: week to week basis, And that's what rookie quarterbacks are

749
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: for the most part. They are very inconsistent players on

750
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: a week to week basis. UM. Second point, Trabisky had

751
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 1: a one hundred and one point six rating UM in

752
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: nine games before he injured his shoulder. His pass rating

753
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: after that was eight three one. It's kind of a

754
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: weird year for him. It was a weird year for

755
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: this is a rookie basically essentially, a rookie got hurt

756
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: the middle of the season and played on a team

757
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: that had an awesome defense and they just didn't really

758
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: need him. And despite all those numbers, I mean, he

759
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: wasn't a top fifteen fantasy quarterback. He missed some time.

760
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: And when we look ahead to and the quarterbacks that

761
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: probably the three of us are gonna be talking about

762
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: as potential breakout candidates, Raisky is not gonna be on that.

763
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: He's not gonna it's gonna be Baker Mayfield. It's gonna

764
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: be Lamar Jacks, and they're gonna not gonna be a

765
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,720
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks. Whisky is gonna be like the nineteenth

766
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: draft quarterback again, right, you know, I mean he will be.

767
00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: He will be you know, he will be a guy

768
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: that in a lot of leagues may not even get drafted.

769
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: He'll be a waiver wire guy. If you're streaming quarterbacks,

770
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: he will be there for you. Um. But yeah, I mean,

771
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: it just it was I remember there was that that

772
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 1: stretch for about a month or everybody's like hey, Mr Rubisky,

773
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: like hey this maybe this is a thing. Uh, And

774
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: it wasn't completely a thing, a thing that we wanted

775
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: to be, a thing that started out maybe it's a

776
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: thing but ended up not being a thing. Was Jimmy Garoppolo, right,

777
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: I mean the forty Niners coming into the season, they

778
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: were everybody's favorite sleeper fantasy offense, right, I mean Kyle

779
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Shanahan was there. They had Jimmy g starting at quarterback. Hey,

780
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: let's see what Jerk McKinnon can do. Mark, he's good

781
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: when he's a sleeper waiting to happen at wide receiver.

782
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,600
Speaker 1: And Garoppolo three games into the season gets hurt on

783
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: a scramble, tears his a c L and this is

784
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. So, I mean, Graham, I know,

785
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 1: we've got a very small sample size with him. You know,

786
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: he finished seventeen as a starting quarterback. Uh started eighteen

787
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: as a starting quarterback, and but we're still kind of

788
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how he fits into this. Kyle Shanahan,

789
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: I mean we we think maybe he could be great.

790
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: We don't We still don't know yet if he's going

791
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: to be really good. Yeah. Um, eight point five yards

792
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: per tempt and two two yards per game and eight

793
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: full starts has me excited. That's enough to get me

794
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 1: excited that that would have been third and eighth best

795
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL this past year. Um. Garoppolo has had

796
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 1: some interception um, some unlucky interceptions, kind of low touched

797
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 1: on total to just eleven touchdowns, eight picks and eight

798
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: starts with the Niners. But again, this is kind of

799
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: a vote of confidence in colle Kyle Shanahan. I mean

800
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins was seventh among all quarterbacks in passing yards

801
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: per game at two eighty four, which I mean he played.

802
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: He played. He played in eight starts this past year

803
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: average more fantasy points than Garoppolo did in his eight

804
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: starts with the Niners. Is that's ridiculous. J Bethard last

805
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: year was like the QP fifteen. He was oder than

806
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: Mariota Derek I mean, almost a weekly starter in two

807
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: quarterback leaks. This is I mean, we have seen this

808
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: with Shanahan. And I know there's people out there that

809
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: say coaching doesn't matter in fantasy football, but it's just like,

810
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: sure it does. Absolutely think it does. It does. Now,

811
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: now imagine the hype if the forty Niners were somehow

812
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: able to wrangle Antonio Brown away from both Steelers. Jerry

813
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 1: Rice suggests they already have the great His name is

814
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:32,000
Speaker 1: George Kittle. George Kittle not only is a fantasy star,

815
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: but he's also a huge W W E fan. That

816
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: makes him that makes all the best part of what

817
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: he wanted to get that single season receiving record. George Kittles,

818
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 1: He's a legend in my book from here on now,

819
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't care what he does. You could have five

820
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: hundred more receiving yards the rest of his career. He's

821
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer. And there you go. All right,

822
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: So we we do. We all kind of eagerly await

823
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: the return of Jimmy g to see what what might

824
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: be in this forty Niners offense. When everybody's healthy, uh

825
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,280
Speaker 1: and ready to go. Hey, clean up your remote control

Speaker 1: by Cobo one remote that does it all. So I,

855
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: as I said to the start of the show, we

856
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: don't have quite as much football to talk about, even

857
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: though we certainly made a meal out of the little

858
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:36,839
Speaker 1: bit that we did have to talk about, which is good.

859
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: But I just wanted to do some fun stuff here

860
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: at the end of the show. And so I wanted

861
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: to do like some top five lists. And I thought,

862
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: because the nominations for the Oscars went out on Tuesday, Uh,

863
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: so mean as we get you know, about a month

864
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,800
Speaker 1: or so of oscar high before the show actually happens,

865
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: which means, hey, you got about a month or so

866
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,320
Speaker 1: six weeks I guess to watch all the movies that

867
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: you didn't see during the year. Uh. And so you

868
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 1: you you can play along at your friendly neighborhood oscar pool.

869
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: But it made me think, let's do a top five

870
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: of movies that you could watch every day. Either you

871
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: see your flipping channels and it's on, you stop and

872
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: watch it, or maybe you own it, or just you

873
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: know whatever, it's a movie that you love so much

874
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: that you could watch it every day. So we'll go

875
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,959
Speaker 1: through our top five for each of us. Uh, Eddie,

876
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 1: I know you you gotta listen if you want to

877
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: start us off your top five movies that you could

878
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: watch every single day. Sure, So when I'm starting off

879
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 1: this list, I start writing down, I'm like, all right,

880
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: Godfather Part one, Godfather Part two, Fellas Departed, and I'm like,

881
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: that's four movies. That are all mob movies, so I

882
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: had to scrap something. The one I did keep, though, however,

883
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: is a Good Fellas. Godfathers are too long. I think

884
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: I've seen it departed probably more than any movies. So

885
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: good Fellas at that sweet spot so I remember one,

886
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: uh two, I'll put Big Lebowski. I just think the

887
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: Actroy movie is really funny, um, and it's just one

888
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: of those things that's so quotable. I always leave that

889
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: on I Love You Man. There's another comedy I love

890
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 1: with Jason Siegel and Paul Rudd. That movie I could

891
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: quote pretty much the whole entire thing takes place in

892
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: Los Angeles too. I put Batman, The Dark Knight, the

893
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: Nolan one. Obviously I would put all of them, but

894
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: I just think you're stealing my list. Uh yeah, you guys,

895
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: me and Graham actually, but list together. UM. I just

896
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,440
Speaker 1: think like the acting there of Um of Heath Ledger

897
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: was just so iconic and he just did a great job.

898
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: And I do like the third one the best with Bain,

899
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: but I just think in terms of rewatching it, just

900
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: the scenes with Heath Ledger just electric. And to round

901
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: it out, I put Rudy. I think I needed a

902
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: sports movie on there, and uh it's quite emotional and

903
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: it involves my Notre Dame fighting Irish show I love.

904
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 1: I love watching that movie all right. Well, so since

905
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: I guess he took you can fill in the gaps

906
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: now what Eddie didn't take from you? Uh No, Dark

907
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,320
Speaker 1: Knight was going to be my number one, just because

908
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,279
Speaker 1: I do do that. I do just flip it on

909
00:42:57,160 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: Dark Knight for sure. Um, number too. I didn't have

910
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: a prepared list. I went off to I'm going off

911
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 1: the top of my head. Number two would be this

912
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: might be super concering, but I love Breakfast Club. I've

913
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 1: watched it fifteen times probably over the course of my life,

914
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: and I just I just love that movie. Um, Breakfast

915
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: Club would definitely be up there. Um for me. Uh,

916
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: I know this is kind of dorky, but number three

917
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 1: might be Star Wars New Hope, just because it was

918
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: like it was one of the first movies I watched,

919
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: um and really truly remembered as a kid, and it

920
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: was just I mean, it's Star Wars New Hope. Um,

921
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. Number four might be mad Max

922
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: just because which action in that movie one Fury Road

923
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: or sorry, sorry to be clear. Fury Road Road is

924
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: amazing with with Tom Hardy. Um My poor fiance. I've

925
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: tried to get her in that movie so many times

926
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: because I've watched it five times with her and three

927
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: of very much with her, and she's not enjoyed it

928
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: either time. But Mad Max just it's so intense and

929
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 1: so raw and so fun. Um, I don't know. In

930
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: my fifth it's just it's so hard to put pin

931
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: down the top. Of course, that's why we do this.

932
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 1: Sam Lot, that's a good one. Sam's just easy to watch.

933
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 1: It's easy to watch. It's funny, great kids, great actors

934
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: like that. Yeah. And I think Benny the Jet Rodriguez

935
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 1: is now like an l A County firefighter in real life. Yeah.

936
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,480
Speaker 1: I think she's actually like an l A County firefighter

937
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: right there. You go, alright, Fabs, what's yours? So number

938
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: one year, we're just coming off the holiday season and

939
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: I'll put Christmas Vacation on there only for the month December.

940
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: If it's on, I'm watching it. And I think I

941
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: watched it ten times in December and then in the

942
00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: month of October because Halloween is such a favorite time

943
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: of the year for me Halloween, okay, the original, if

944
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 1: it's on, I'm watching it. Don't care. It's that good.

945
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 1: Now this list, and you know, I kind of knew

946
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,320
Speaker 1: what it was coming in. I didn't really need to

947
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: write it down. But this is gonna I mean, if

948
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,320
Speaker 1: it wasn't already out there that I'm a just a

949
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: gigantic nerd. Okay, this is gonna prove it all right.

950
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: And I don't know because, like you know, you mentioned

951
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: a new Hope, So anytime Jedi is on Empire a

952
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,840
Speaker 1: new hope, I'm watching it. Okay, not so much Phantom

953
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: and Nach, not so much Clones. That was terrible. The

954
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: only thing good about Clones was Yoda fought for the

955
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: first time. Tack of the Clones was awful. Yeah. So,

956
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: and so the first three Star Wars movies that came out,

957
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: not the first three based on based on what Lukes did,

958
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 1: but the so, I mean, all those are like near

959
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: the top for me. So I'll just clunk Star Wars okay.

960
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 1: And then Rocky not Rocky five, not necessarily Rocky Balball,

961
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: although I did like it, Not necessarily Creed, although I

962
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: did like it. I haven't seen the second one yet.

963
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: I gotta go see it um when it when it

964
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: comes out on on digital. But Rocky one, two, three,

965
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: and four, every time they're on, I'm watching it. They're

966
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: so rewatchable. I just I love it. I don't care.

967
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean with all the mistakes in the movies and

968
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: stuff like that, when you know, uh, Rocky Rockies having

969
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,040
Speaker 1: sort of like images and flashbacks to like his fight

970
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: with Club or Lang, but they're wearing the wrong color

971
00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 1: shorts and that already had whatever. You know, like, there's

972
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: a lot, but I just I love Rocky And I

973
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: think the first one is the best one, but the

974
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 1: most rewatchable one, And Elliott Harrison would agree with me.

975
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: And here's probably four. You just get so excited. When

976
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: I was a kid, there there were two movies before

977
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 1: I moved to Los Angeles, and basically they clapped every

978
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: time a movie ends here. But the only two times

979
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: that I've ever been in a movie theater where everyone

980
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:39,440
Speaker 1: stood up and clapped one Jedi when Vader through the Emperor, okay,

981
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: down that down that that shaft and saved Luke, and

982
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: then when Balboa knocked out Drago. The only two times

983
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: people actually got up and clapp in a movie Theater, Connecticut.

984
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 1: I mean we could change so I can always watch those.

985
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: You guys mentioned The Dark Knight, Like for me, that's

986
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: like that might be the best superhero movie ever. It is, okay,

987
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: I mean it was, so I said it could be.

988
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of really good ones. There's a lot

989
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 1: of student that I love that I love. I loved

990
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: Infinity Wars. I thought Infinity Wars it was awesome, just

991
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,800
Speaker 1: because the ending, You're like, holy crap, you know, like,

992
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 1: hopefully it didn't spoil that it's been a long it's

993
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 1: been and then and then another and then another one

994
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: back to the future. That's actually a good call, dude.

995
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 1: I actually I love that movie and I could watch

996
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 1: it again and again and again and it don't get

997
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: sick of it. I just love it. It's so good,

998
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:37,800
Speaker 1: it's so well done. I actually recently rewatched it, like

999
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 1: a couple of months ago, just randomly because I had

1000
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 1: nothing else to do an evening. I was just just

1001
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: great man. And yeah, I agree with that. It's definitely

1002
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 1: has that like rewatchability factor. Oh absolutely, it really did

1003
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: hold that because some movies as you watch as a kid,

1004
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: and you watch McGain isn't older and you're just, oh

1005
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: my god, like the Mighty the Mighty Ducks not hold up.

1006
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:01,759
Speaker 1: You know a movie didn't hold up for me and

1007
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: I love horror movies. Was the original Nightmare in Elp Street.

1008
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: When I saw that as a kid, it's scared that,

1009
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: you know what out of me? Okay. Then I watched

1010
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: it as an adult, I'm like, it's kind of is

1011
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 1: not that good. That's it's not really that great. That's

1012
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 1: sort of how I felt about The Exorcist. I remember

1013
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: seeing The Exorcists for the first time and like I

1014
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: like in high school, and then I'm like, this is terrifying.

1015
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: And then like I was in high school, like my

1016
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 1: senior year of high school, me and my best friend

1017
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: tried to sit down and get our girlfriends to watch it.

1018
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: I think all four of us fell. This is not

1019
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 1: you know a movie there it would be six Caddy Shack.

1020
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: Oh okay, dude, I love Caddy Shot. It is one

1021
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: of these. It has everything, and it has golf, it

1022
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: has it's just great. Bill Murray Chevy Chase, who they

1023
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: hated each other at the time too. Wasn't there a

1024
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: story that they got into a fight at some point

1025
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 1: during the filming of that movie. There's actually a really

1026
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,200
Speaker 1: cool documentary on the filming of that movie where they

1027
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: basically we're all staying in this like this like hotel

1028
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: like off of this golf course and when they did

1029
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,400
Speaker 1: the explosion during during the the end of the movie,

1030
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: there is planes that flew over and thought that something

1031
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: was going on. Yeah, anyways, Um, that's so, that's that's

1032
00:49:06,560 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: my list. But I mean, you know, a lot of

1033
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 1: Star Wars and rocky stuff in there. So my five

1034
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: I would start with Oceans eleven, the you know and like, like,

1035
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing, and I've seen the original, like the

1036
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: original original, the the sixties one with like you know,

1037
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: Sinatra and those guys, which is not a bad film,

1038
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: but it lingers about half an hour too long. The

1039
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,920
Speaker 1: Soderberg version with Clooney and Pitt and Damon and Don

1040
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: Cheetle and all those guys was great and like it's

1041
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: it's just fun and a tip and it's cool. Uh

1042
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: So that's that's mine. Number four on my list is Snatch,

1043
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: which look, I feel like either you love Snatch or

1044
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 1: you love lock Stock and two Smoking Barrels, And a

1045
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:44,680
Speaker 1: lot of it depends on which one you saw first.

1046
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 1: I saw Snatch first. So what because both those movies

1047
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: are very, very similar. So whichever one I think you

1048
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 1: saw first, the one you like better. I saw Snatch first,

1049
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: That's the one I like. Number three I've got off

1050
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 1: the space. Uh. It just gets funnier every time I

1051
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,560
Speaker 1: see it. You know, it's so quotable, and it's just

1052
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 1: you know, like you work, get an office long enough

1053
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,279
Speaker 1: and you start to see all the personalities that are

1054
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,799
Speaker 1: there in that movie. So it's it's awesome. Um Number two,

1055
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: Kill Bill Volume one and I love and I love,

1056
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 1: I loved Volume two. I think I like Volume two

1057
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,400
Speaker 1: more than a lot of people. But Volume one is

1058
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: just so remember seeing it in the theater and I

1059
00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: love a good kung Fu movie. I love a good

1060
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: kung Fu movie, and I love a Quentin Tarantino film.

1061
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: So this is sort of the best of both worlds

1062
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: to me. And I just remember sitting in the theater

1063
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 1: and watching it and just being amazed by the showdown

1064
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: at the House of Blue Leaves. And then at the

1065
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,440
Speaker 1: very end, when you know the voiceover that says, does

1066
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,919
Speaker 1: she know her daughter still alive? And it cuts to black,

1067
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: and I remember screaming like, oh no, because then I

1068
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: like I knew, had to wait like six months to

1069
