Their 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.760 number this season for over under is right there in 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.040 the middle at eight. Do you think that you should 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.959 take the over the under or pass on that bet. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:32.280 We also, as you know, we got a movie brackets 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.560 going on right now, the sports movie brackets.

We know Chris Bavona 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:42.680 does not like Hoop Dreams because they think he thinks 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:44.960 it's a documentary not a movie. But it's up against 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.840 Space Jam, Michael Jordan's and Bugs Bunny. What could be 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.960 better than that?

At your boy, Dane Martinez speeds 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.200 the spitting statisticians, so we do not need to go 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:56.880 desposit though. We keep it moving real quick here on 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.920 the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's get into the starting lineup because 0:03:59.920 --> 0:04:01.680 I got a lot of things to talk about in 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.640 this block and we only got a little bit of time. Okay, 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:06.600 So first of all, some news and notes around Major 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:11.800 League Baseball. Julio Tehran left last night start after five 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:15.680 innings with five crams. Remember listen, it is now summertime 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.039 down in hot Atlanta, so maybe that was an issue. 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.520 They say he's gonna be okay to make his next start. 0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:23.360 He's listed as day to day. He should be okay, 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.440 but something to watch especially remember when he's at home, 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.040 he gets lit up, okay, when he's on the road. 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.280 Maybe a little bit better. These home roads splits for 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.160 Julio Tehran are really out of control. Matt Carpenter of 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.800 the Cardinals was scratched yesterday versus Milwaukee. He is listed 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:40.400 as day to day. He's dealing with a hip issue. 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.760 And also news out of Detroit the Tigers have put 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:47.000 their starting pitcher, Michael Fulmer on the ten day d L. 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.080 And it makes sense, okay, because he got lit up 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.000 in his last start, but has been good for the 0:04:51.000 --> 0:04:54.000 most part. Maybe something's going on. The problem though, is 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:58.400 it's with his right elbow and they're talking about ulner tendonitis. 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.800 That U c L is really an important ligament. That's 0:05:01.839 --> 0:05:04.320 the ligament that they repair with Tommy John surgery. So 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.240 I would be worried if I was a Tigers fan 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.560 or a Fantasy Baseball owner of Michael Fullmer. Let's keep 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.440 it moving, though, and talk about what I did last night, 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.040 because I gotta spend some time on this, because, boy, 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.320 if you listen to me last night on the Fantasy 0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:19.880 Freestyle and you went ahead and used the two pitchers 0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:23.599 I gave you, you took all the money, Okay. I 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.520 told you that there was only a ten in the 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:29.159 twelve games slate that there was last night. Nobody was 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:32.480 over ten thousand on fan Duel Dallas. Kaiko was the highest. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.000 But I told you to fade him because they still 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:37.720 hadn't stretched him out right in his return from the 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.160 d L, and he only went three innings. Excuse me, 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:41.919 he went five innings. He went three innings in his 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.840 first start off the d L. He only went five 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:46.480 innings though, and got the loss. Okay, gave up three 0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:49.240 runs in five innings. That was not the move, Okay. 0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.160 I gave you two starting pitchers who I thought could 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.279 have been better and went much cheaper. The first I 0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:57.080 gave you was because I'm on these Arizona Diamondbacks arms, 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.160 and it was Zach Godly. Godly went six shutout out 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.440 innings in the when the wind was blowing in in 0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:05.240 Wrigley and they beat the Cubs three nothing. So six 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:09.160 shutout innings not bad, even cheaper the guy I told 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.080 you because I was mostly fading the Philadelphia Phillies, I 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.440 told you to go with J. C. Ramirez last night 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.480 at seventies six hundred. Okay, what did he do? He 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.599 went eight shutout innings as uh. The Angels beat the 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:26.360 Phillies seven to nothing. So if you listen to me 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.839 last night, you got two guys that want to combine 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.280 fourteen innings and gave up no runs, both of them 0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:37.160 getting qualities starts and shut out victories. All I know 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:39.000 is if you listen to speed, you took home some 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:43.080 cash last night, so you might ask yourself self who 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:46.120 should I target? Then tonight there are ten games on 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.000 the night slate. The highest is Corey Cluber at eleven thousand, 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.679 one hundred on FanDuel. Listen. Cluber has been a stud 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:57.640 striking people out, but he's facing the New York Yankees, 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.880 who have one of the highest run totals and the 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.240 biggest offenses in all of baseball. So I think you 0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:06.159 can do better in that same game. It's worthy of 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:10.360 note Sonny Gray making his Yankees debut. He's listed at 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.240 but I would fade that against this Indians lineup and 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.800 against Corey Kluberg. Okay, if you want to spend up though, 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.520 Alex Wood might be the guy at hundred. He's going 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:25.200 against Atlanta tonight. Listen. He strikes out of the lefties 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.840 he faces, he strikes out of the righties he faces. 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.720 The only question is will he go six innings to 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:33.920 get you that quality start. There have been times that 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:37.040 he has not gone that deep. Remember all the more 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.640 reason I told you when the Dodgers gotten you Darvish 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.120 at the trade deadline, I mentioned that Kershaw was the 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.280 only picture they have that usually goes you know that 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.840 averages more than six innings to start. Same can be 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.160 said for Alex would Okay, so that would be the 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.440 only hiccup there. But I like his strikeout upside, even 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.160 in that sun Trust Ballpark, which has been playing great 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.520 two left handed power hitters. But remember I told you 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.240 yesterday A Matt Adams is still out. He is not 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.320 in the lineup today, still day to day with that 0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:06.760 dizziness that he had now. But if you want to 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:10.400 spend much less money on FanDuel, I got two guys 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:13.000 for you, all the way down to only seventies seven 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:17.800 hundred dollars. I like Parker Bridwell tonight against the Phillies. 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.600 Remember I was riding J. C. Ramirez against the Phillies 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:23.239 last night. I am back at it with the angel starter. 0:08:23.360 --> 0:08:26.640 This time it's Parker Bridwell. Bridwell has been surprisingly good 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.840 this year, okay, at two point eight three e r 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:33.400 a four straight quality starts. I think he gets another 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.960 one tonight, and in those four starts, he's given up 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:39.800 a total of five earned runs in twenty six innings. 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:44.320 Pitch and remember again, I am fading the Philadelphia Phillies offense. 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:47.120 Remember the second lowest run total in all of Major 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.760 League Baseball, and that certainly didn't change last night when 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.199 they got shut out by my pick J. C. Ramirez, 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.439 the other guy. I want to note, if you're willing 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:57.320 to go all the way down, the Oakland A's have 0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:01.960 activated Kendall Graveman four of the start tonight against the 0:09:01.960 --> 0:09:05.280 San Francisco Giants. It is at San Francisco. So remember, 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.520 if you're going from Oakland to on a road start, 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:10.560 the ballpark factor is usually a big deal. That is 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:12.920 not a big deal going to San Francisco, which is 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:16.920 also a pictures park. And remember the Giants offense, there 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.600 is no nothing to be scared of. Okay. Um I 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.440 talked about the Phillies having the third the second lowest 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.880 run total in all the Major League Baseball the Philly Um, 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.560 the Giants have the third worst run total. Okay, So 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.680 I think Kendall Graveman could be valuable at only on 0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.599 fan duel, but What I said, though, is there is 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.160 football tonight, so fan duel and draft things. They are 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:43.000 offering a two game slate with tonight's Hall of Fame 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.480 game and the first game of the real first week 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.520 of the preseason, which happens to be next Wednesday. Okay, 0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:51.079 so you got tonight the Hall of Fame game Dallas 0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:56.680 in Arizona, and then next Wednesday, August the first game 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:59.760 of the preseason, your first week of the preseason when 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.959 you have the Houston Texans and the Carolina Panthers. They're 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:05.080 putting those two together as a two games slate. Let 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.679 me tell you what I'm thinking about this. First of all, 0:10:07.800 --> 0:10:15.160 if you're playing preseason DFS football, no reason, no, no, uh, 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.560 nothing better to do, you know, like this is where 0:10:18.559 --> 0:10:21.120 you're gonna win that cash. Fine, I'm playing it, so 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.200 I think you should as well. But it may say 0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:26.520 something about your gambling tendencies if you're playing week one 0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:29.840 of the fantasy football season. But maybe this is where 0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:31.760 you can go, because I do think there are gonna 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:34.360 be a lot of fish out there that are like 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.480 old football and they're just gonna throw some things in 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:39.360 their lineup. Remember week one of the preseason, you have 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:43.920 a ton of you know, name value guys and starters 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.880 that won't see the field at all, or if they do, 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.160 will only be there for like a series. Okay, you 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:52.720 are looking if you're looking for new arrivals, you're looking 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:54.840 for kind of people who are competing for, say like 0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:58.160 the third wide receiver spot, the fourth running back spot. 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:00.080 Those are the people who are gonna get burned and 0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.880 play like two quarters worth of action. Okay. And also 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:05.000 in the first week of the preseason, in the second 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.480 half of games, they're not lighting it up, they're doing 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.600 vanilla stuff. Okay. So you're looking for who's playing in 0:11:10.600 --> 0:11:13.600 that like second quarter. That's when you're gonna have actual 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.800 UM players, okay, that are actually playing. The other thing 0:11:18.160 --> 0:11:22.520 that I consider is um I would actually go to 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:25.360 the tournament here, okay. My man Betty Richardi you may 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.280 have heard him earlier today on on Target Fantasy, which 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.439 happens to be the fs w A Award winner for 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.560 the best radio show out there. That's my man Benny Richardi. 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.800 That's Jake Sealey and also my man Joey p Joey 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.320 Pizza Pizza. They say, play the tournaments now because the 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.880 sharks are out there and they're playing fifty fifties. They're 0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:44.920 playing the cash games. Okay, So if you want to 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.040 throw a lineup out there, do it in a tournament, 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.760 and remember you don't want the names. Okay. For example, 0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:56.320 in tonight's game Cardinals and Cowboys, they've already said Carson 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.880 Palmer is not playing at all. Okay, Drew Stanton man, 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.240 I'll be playing at all. So I'm about to say 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:06.400 something which you know, Bovona. I don't want you to 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.679 make this a drop, okay, because I don't really want 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:12.120 a record of me ever saying this out loud on air. 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.439 But I think that Blaine Gathered is a great play 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:20.119 for your quarterback spot. Okay, he's the person who's actually 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:23.400 going to be playing. And then what you also gotta 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:26.440 do is look at at the tight end position. For example, 0:12:26.640 --> 0:12:28.719 look at which teams. You know, some teams have two 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.040 tight ends on the roster. Other teams at this point 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.280 have five, six tight ends on their roster. You want 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.640 to go where the options are limited, Okay, So for 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:40.120 example in Dallas, you know, for example, in Dallas, you 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.280 got you know, Jason Witten obviously, but he's not going 0:12:43.320 --> 0:12:47.200 to be playing a lot in week one of the 0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:50.200 preseason in the Hall of Fame game. I'm talking about 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:52.640 my tight end that I like is Rico Gathers. He 0:12:52.800 --> 0:12:55.720 is the like backup to the backup in Dallas, and he, 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.320 in my opinion, is going to actually be on the 0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:03.200 field and get snaps and have opportunity. Similarly, I stay 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:06.920 away from all of the Houston Texans wide receivers. Why 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:09.680 because Will Fuller just got hurt. They're not gonna risk 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:13.760 Braxton Miller. They're gonna kinda risk Jalen Strong people like that. Okay, 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.480 that's what you gotta do. Look at the competitions, look 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:18.160 at these guys that they actually want to see, which 0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:20.720 are not going to be much Okay, And if you're 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.079 really in there on DFS for week one, more power 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:26.079 to you.

I had Peyton 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.360 Manning and you know how he was at the line 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:09.200 all the time with Omaha. I named the fantasy football 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.840 team Omaha, Yes, Oh my God. Off of this song 0:15:13.120 --> 0:15:15.680 and the omahas that Peyton Manning used to do all 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:17.400 the time. So big shout out to all the guys 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.400 in that league. They know what I'm talking about. But 0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:21.880 we gotta get into the cipher. Like I said, it 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:26.080 is football. It is officially upon us, so it begins. 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.680 I hope you feel excited about it like I do. 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.080 I threw a couple of bucks into a two game 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.840 DFF slate. I told you about my thinking on that 0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:36.520 in the last segment. But I got some news and 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.200 notes that I want to get around. First of all, 0:15:38.560 --> 0:15:41.680 big news to today, and it's funny. As soon as 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:44.360 training camp and practice starts, you start to remember how 0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:47.600 violent of a game football is and how much people 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:53.280 get hurt. Well, in Miami tonight, quarterback Ryan Tannehill left 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:57.480 practice today with a non contact leg injury to his 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.640 left knee. Remember he tore his left a c L 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.000 at the end of last season. He's wearing a brace 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:05.800 on it. They said he was moving good, but he 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:10.120 went down in a non contact injury at practice today. 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:13.360 There have been reports already that the first m R 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.080 I came back with no significant damage, but since then 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:19.480 there have been additional reports that that first m r 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:23.640 I is inconclusive and that he is potentially dealing with 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.600 at least a hyper extension and may have some PCL 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:33.360 damage as well. Not good news for the Miami Dolphins 0:16:33.440 --> 0:16:37.400 and Ryan Tannehill. The interesting part is does this now 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.760 create a market for Colin Kaepernick. Remember Baltimore we've been 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.440 talking about now Miami as well. There are going to 0:16:44.520 --> 0:16:48.240 be quarterbacks who go down. It is a war of attrition, 0:16:48.560 --> 0:16:53.040 so uh, keep your eyes tuned for that just in case. Also, 0:16:53.280 --> 0:16:55.640 more injuries. Remember I said this at the beginning of 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.760 the baseball season. We're starting to see it now again. 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.880 I had license certified athletic trainer Thomas low On, and 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:04.000 we talked about how hamstring injuries happened early in the 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:06.320 season when people are working their way back into like 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.439 football or baseball shape, and um, there were some of 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:13.439 them today. Jets running back Matt Forte left practice with 0:17:13.480 --> 0:17:18.280 a hamstring injury, and in Tennessee, UH, DeMarco Murray left 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.480 with a hamstring injury and Corey Davis left with a 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:25.440 hamstring injury. So the hamstrings are something to watch. Eagles 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.320 wide receiver al Shan Jeffrey, who has a history of 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.880 soft tissue injuries. He has missed his third straight practice 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:34.440 with a shoulder injury. And then later in the day 0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:39.080 news broke that Bengals high you know, highly touted rookie 0:17:39.160 --> 0:17:42.919 running back Joe Mixon left practice did not return with 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:47.040 a foot injury. He is listed as day today. Then 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:52.480 in Pittsburgh, their backup running back James Conner sprained his shoulder. 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.199 He is also listed as day to day. Now this 0:17:55.280 --> 0:17:57.920 is a shame because remember Levan Bell is still unsigned, 0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:00.800 so there was a great opportunity for James Conner to 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:04.560 start getting reps, even maybe running with the ones. Um. 0:18:04.640 --> 0:18:07.480 I still think he will be the handcaff, the handcuff 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:11.840 to Levy on Bell as opposed to Fitzgerald Toussaint. Remember 0:18:11.920 --> 0:18:14.760 I always talk about some buzz. There is buzz brewing 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:18.639 in Chicago about wide receiver Cameron Meredith. They're saying that 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:23.119 he is building chemistry with their starter Mike Glennon. And uh, 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.800 remember I reported a few days ago Marcus Wheaton is 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.840 already injured that wide receiver room is thinning. I know, 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.359 my man Corey Parsons, the fantasy executive, it's extremely high 0:18:32.640 --> 0:18:36.760 on Cameron Meredith. Maybe that is founded because uh, you know, 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:40.520 it looks like he's building that chemistry with Mike Glennon. Also, 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.880 I want to send a happy birthday shout out. Tom 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:48.320 Brady turns forty today, still doing it. Also, Todd Gurley 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:52.520 turns less than forty, So happy birthday to both of 0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:56.760 those NFL uh studs, shall we say? Keeping it moving though. 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.480 I told you we've been previewing the NFC South all 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:03.399 week long, and we end that preview today with the 0:19:03.440 --> 0:19:06.439 Tampa Bay Bucks. Listen, I mentioned my man Corey Parson, 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:09.760 the fantasy executive who does the Fantasy Football Frenzy. Also, 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.800 you can catch him on Rhodo Experts in the morning. 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:17.360 He has been incredibly high on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Okay, 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.680 he's been hyping up Jamis Winston. He's been hyping up O. J. Howard, 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:24.520 a lot of tea people. You know, I think that 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.919 the Bucks are there, Darling. So when I put up 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.480 the pole question, which is the over under on the Bucks, 0:19:31.680 --> 0:19:34.520 A lot of people I expected to take the over. 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:36.560 People thought they were a hot team, you know, things 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:38.800 like that. I'll tell you if that's the actual truth 0:19:39.080 --> 0:19:41.560 a little bit later on in the show. But let's 0:19:41.600 --> 0:19:44.280 go position by position the first off. Like I said, 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:49.720 Jamis Winston at quarterback. Listen, my man Corey Parson has 0:19:49.760 --> 0:19:54.199 him as q B six right beneath studs like you 0:19:54.240 --> 0:19:58.119 know uh Russell Wilson and Drew Brees and Aaron Rodgers 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:02.200 and Tom Brady. He is very high because he likes 0:20:02.240 --> 0:20:05.040 all the weapons that have been added to surround him. 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:07.720 Remember they signed to Shawn Jackson in the off season. 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:11.960 They drafted O. J. Howard very early. Now, Jamis Winston 0:20:12.119 --> 0:20:14.199 has thrown for over four thousand yards in both of 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:17.840 the season's four thousand ninety yards last year twenty eight touchdowns. 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:22.119 But here's the problem. Eighteen interceptions. That is a lot. 0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:25.119 I also love the weapons that are around there, but 0:20:25.200 --> 0:20:29.440 can he improve his accuracy? Can he cut the turnovers down? 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.000 That will be the critical factor for James Winston. I 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:36.320 am not as sold on Jamis Winston as my man 0:20:36.440 --> 0:20:39.320 Cory is, but I do think he's right in that 0:20:39.440 --> 0:20:44.320 area of quarterbacks with the Matthew Staffords, with the Kirk Cousins, 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.240 with the Philip Rivers, with the Cam Newton's, with the 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:50.320 guys that I will wait for and get without investing 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:53.840 that draft capital. I have him as my quarterback eleven 0:20:54.119 --> 0:20:57.320 with tremendous upside. Remember with Mike Evans and d Shawn 0:20:57.400 --> 0:20:59.399 Jackson now on the sidelines, and they are going to 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.320 throw the ball all So maybe that is value if 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.720 you're waiting on quarterback Jamis Winston. If he's still around. 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:07.959 He won't be around in any leagues that Corey Parson 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:10.639 is in, but he'll be around in most of them. 0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:14.440 He's my quarterback eleven. At the running back position. I'm 0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:19.160 very conflicted here. Doug Martin, their number one running back, 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:22.320 is suspended for the first three weeks of the season, Okay, 0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:27.440 and the thing is my man pop quiz Jock Quiz Rogers. 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:31.680 We have heard conflicting reports, Okay. There have been times 0:21:31.880 --> 0:21:34.439 where they say that Doug Martin looks great and that 0:21:34.560 --> 0:21:38.280 he's bigger and faster and looking great. There's also been 0:21:38.320 --> 0:21:41.400 reports that there are no assurances that Doug Martin gets 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:44.680 his job back after a week three because of Jock 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:48.560 Quiz Rogers. Right. So I also think that this offense 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:52.080 is now built to support Jamis Winston. They are going 0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:54.879 to be throwing the ball a lot. I am fading 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:58.320 the running back room of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I 0:21:58.359 --> 0:22:01.440 think this is going to wind up being a true committee. 0:22:01.600 --> 0:22:03.640
