Speaker 3: Like, Man, it's been good, man, I've been I've been

21
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 3: handling the sleep kind of like a pro. I want

22
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 3: to say, I've been pretty proud of myself for the

00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 2: I like that you push that extra five minutes.

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, the extra five minutes is like the brushing of teeth,

28
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 3: you know, finishing up dinner. But I'm definitely in bed

29
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 3: before eight, Like I have to like let the body settle.

30
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: What time do you eat dinner?

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: Oh god man, We've been eating earlier and early every

00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 3: day this week, honestly, Like I have the.

33
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,119
Speaker 2: Senior Citizen early bird special.

00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, four thirty five o'clock, you know, dinner is done

35
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 3: and we're eating. Is like, this is so weird, Like

36
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 3: I can't do.

37
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: It because I was wondering if you did normal dinner

38
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 4: time and then just cool immediately to bed.

39
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: No, No, that would not be good for the body.

40
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 2: It needs to digest.

41
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 3: I need to lay down good. And you know, the

42
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: whole Verteine's been it's been working.

43
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: I've been crushing it though. Yeah. Yeah, man, it's it's

44
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 2: been good to see.

45
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: It's cool to see the you know, your social post

46
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: about it, and yeah, man, I'm I'm I'm excited for

47
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: you for the opportunity and hopefully you get the sleep thing.

48
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: All.

49
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's get going first with some news and rumors,

50
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: and this one just sort of changed.

51
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: I full disclosure.

52
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: I started putting this thing together like on Saturday, and

53
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: then now things have changed. I so originally Gino Smith

54
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: missed a couple of practices.

55
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: Had what looked like a knee injury.

56
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: But the upside is that he is back at practice

57
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: today for the Seattle Seahawks. So I was gonna ask

58
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: if there's any concern at this point, but I feel

59
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: like the answer to.

60
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: That is no.

61
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 1: So I will ask, though, Florioe, because we haven't talked

62
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: about Geno Smith a whole lot.

63
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: Two years ago he had that phenomenal season. Last year

64
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: was just kind.

65
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: Of meh, Which Gino do you think we see? Do

66
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: we see like super Geno or do you just see

67
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: like regular average. I haven't had a superstar yet, Gino.

68
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: I think we're gonna see a little bit of both.

69
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 4: I think there will be some weeks where the Seahawks

70
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 4: need to throw the ball and he'll air it out

71
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: down field. Like Lawan has done a really good job

72
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 4: of pointing out about how aggressive Roan grub and the

73
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 4: new OC there is at throwing downfield.

74
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: I still, though, do think there will be some.

75
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 4: Games where Seattle will have a lead and they won't

76
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 4: ask Gino to throw a ton. How they get that

77
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 4: lead could be him throwing. But I don't suddenly expect

78
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: the Seahawks to become one of the past happiest offenses.

79
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: I think he could be more efficient and everything. He

80
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 4: is one of those I know he goes as like

81
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 4: a low end QB two and I feel like that's

82
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: the appropriate price. But if like there's him, there's Daniel Jones,

83
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 4: there's Baker Mayfield. We both we all love Will Levis.

84
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 4: Here like there's a big group of QB twos that

85
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: could finish like top fifteen, and Gino Smith is in

86
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: that group.

87
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: For me, yeah, I mean that's sort of I think you,

88
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, you have a stronger take on him

89
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: than either of us do.

90
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: And yeah, I'm gonna get the grain.

91
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: Man.

92
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: I mean I have some concern because with a hip

93
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: and knee injury, I feel like, man, are we seeing

94
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 3: in the back end of Gino Smith? Now it's getting

95
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: up there in the age. I honestly wouldn't be surprised

96
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 3: at some point we actually saw Sam Howe at some point,

97
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: and I feel like, you know, Sam Howe didn't really

98
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: get a fair shake in Washington if we really look

99
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,919
Speaker 3: at it. I mean, led the NFL in interceptions, but

100
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: seventeen of them were under pressure, which he also led

101
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: the NFL in. So it's like that old line did

102
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: not protect them at all. And his first full season

103
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 3: he got in as a starter, they kind of shipped

104
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: them away when everything was in shambles. So I'm honestly

105
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 3: stashing Sam Howe in super flex leagues just in case

106
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: if Gino's gonna have these injury concerns.

107
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 2: I think that would be bad for DK Metcalf.

108
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 3: It would be but in a selfish in a selfish

109
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 3: world where the quarterback runs, So I get him stashing

110
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: Sam Howe.

111
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: I just I'm like, oh for Seattle, I don't know,

112
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 4: it's curtains.

113
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: Well, Sam Howe was never going to be long for

114
00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: that job once they once they got Jayden Daniels in Washington,

115
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: like that was gonna be a rap.

116
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: So best case scenario, he stays there and he's on

117
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 2: the bench.

118
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: At least in Seattle, he does have I think a

119
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: more legitimate opportunity to battle to get on the field

120
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. Flora you mentioned will Levis he's gonna

121
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: be missing one of his targets at least for the

122
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: next month or so. DeAndre Hopkins has a knee issue.

123
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: Expected to miss four to six weeks.

124
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: Now.

125
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: The upside is they don't expect that he will need

126
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: knee surgery, so hopefully that sort of helps his recovery

127
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 1: time a little bit. But lakwan, I mean, look, Nuke's

128
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: been great for a long time, but it does seem

129
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: like the decline is starting to happen. Are you still

130
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: willing to take a shot at him? Or is this

131
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: kind of an avoid situation?

132
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: Now?

133
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is one of those situations where it's a

134
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: clear fade for me with this injury because I've already

135
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 3: had concerns coming into the season, and then when you

136
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 3: see the injury pop up, Man, it's like, all right,

137
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 3: what kind of de Hopper we're gonna get when the

138
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: season starts. I mean, the target separation rate was a

139
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 3: concern for me last season with two point three, which

140
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: was bottom the table among wide receivers with the hundred

141
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: tard so it's not like we're getting the d hop

142
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 3: that we know and love. So he now maybe a

143
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 3: little sluggish to start the season, and you know, I

144
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 3: don't know if I have in me the patience to

145
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,239
Speaker 3: hang on the d hop, you know, for those first

146
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, being that this injury is kind of

147
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: close to starting the kickoff to where like I don't

148
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: know if I want to wait until week four or

149
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: five they get some real production out of d hops.

150
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 3: So he's kind of one of those guys, like know what,

151
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: I'm good off of him.

152
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: He was already a fade for me because everything you said,

153
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 4: like he had declined in metrics, he was creating less separation.

154
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 4: And I think what saved him last year was first

155
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 4: Will Levis was, look, he's fun for fantasy. He was

156
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 4: not playing good quarterback out there. He was locking in

157
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 4: on DeAndre Hopkins and just heaving the ball downfield. I've

158
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 4: already been on the mindset. I think a lot of

159
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 4: that volume is gonna go to Calvin Ridley. Now you

160
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 4: adding this knee issue. He's not there for the first

161
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 4: training camp with a new head coach. There's this, and

162
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: he's thirty two. A wide receiver thirty two or older

163
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: has not averaged fifteen Fantasy points per games since twenty twenty,

164
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: like seems recently that's almost five years ago. Now at

165
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 4: this point, like history is just working against the.

166
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: Hop So then are either of you in on Calvin Ridley.

167
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 2: He is one of my most drafted.

168
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 4: I'm he's one of my best values, one of my

169
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: most drafted. I love stacking him in Levis in drafts.

170
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: I feel like now I have to now Like I

171
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: wasn't really as readily trained, but now I feel like

172
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: I have to pivot to somebody to stack with my guy,

173
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 3: Will Levis. And I really feel as though Will Levis

174
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 3: can get a good connection downfield, to stretch the field

175
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: with Calvin Ridley's speed, and like, I think that's where

176
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: Willis would get. Will Levis would get most of his

177
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 3: fantasy points from Is on these deep shots in big plays.

178
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: I keep saying, I think he's upside a similar to

179
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: last year. But now you get a six round discount

180
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 4: on him.

181
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's amazing.

182
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: That's probably fair. I think there's gonna be a lot

183
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: of volatility with Levis. I think there will be some

184
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: weeks where things work really well. In some weeks up

185
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: and down they cannot connect. So I mean, I think

186
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: I think the ADP sort of reflects that too, with

187
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: the Andandre Hopkins.

188
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: It's when you have him as your wide receiver. One, yeah,

189
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: don't do that. You can live with that, don't yeh,

190
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: don't do that. Don't do that.

191
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm closer to where we are in Los Angeles. Justin

192
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: Herbert right now diagnosed with plants or fascia in his

193
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: right foot. He's gonna be in a walking boot for

194
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. I mean, Floyda, This is the

195
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: kind of thing that just tends to linger. And I

196
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: know that, you know Herbert's not necessarily a running quarterback,

197
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 1: but you still need your feet to plant and throw

198
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: the football. There was already concern about Herbert with the

199
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff and this desire to run the football. Is

200
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: this a buy the dip situation or is this a

201
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: stay away situation?

202
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 2: This is becoming a stay away situation for me.

203
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 4: Like I was firmly on the I'm fading justin Herbert

204
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 4: train when they hired this coaching tandem, and then he

205
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 4: started going as like the QB seventeen eighteen in drafts,

206
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 4: and I was like, at that price, I.

207
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 2: Can get in because we're paying for the floor.

208
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 4: And one thing I keep saying is like I don't

209
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: expect him to suddenly become like Josh Allen, but I

210
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 4: was hoping that he would set career highs in rushing

211
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 4: numbers like this Greg Rohman and Jim Harborough, they have

212
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 4: a lot of uh success with a quarterback that can

213
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 4: run the ball. And again, I don't think Herbert is

214
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: gonna suddenly become Anthony Richardson.

215
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: But he is a good athlete who has shown us that.

216
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 4: He can be mobile. So I was hoping that maybe

217
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 4: the passing numbers decrease a little bit, but he makes

218
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 4: up for it with more rushing. Now with this a

219
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 4: foot issue, and look, I know it's different. This is

220
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 4: an injury that we see a lot of the times

221
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 4: in baseball and like, hey, look it ruined Albert Pooholz

222
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: for years. This is an injury that that he's, like

223
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 4: you said, lingers and lingers, and if he's not throwing

224
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 4: as much into move we're already having some injury concerns.

225
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 4: Now with Lad mcconkee, it's becoming a situation again where

226
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: like maybe if he slides further enough and I could

227
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 4: get him as like my low and QB two.

228
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 2: I'm cool with it, but names around him like Jared Goff.

229
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 3: I'd rather have, Yes, there it is. That's exactly where

230
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: I was going with the next if I could just translation.

231
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 2: Wait, go ahead. Yeah. I didn't want to hear you.

232
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 2: I want to hear you make a case for Jared

233
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: Goff because you like dumping on him.

234
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 3: So I used to call him Jared Goof. But we're

235
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: all good.

236
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: There, we're good. I've never heard that before.

237
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: We're good now he's no longer a ram. I don't

238
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 3: have to scream at the TV no more, but Jared Goff.

239
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 3: We're in good hands. But I feel like Jared Golf

240
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: in that range where he's going in drafts, I much

241
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 3: rather have now with this injury with Justin Herbert, because,

242
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 3: like Florio said, this is assumed to be a run

243
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: heavy offense, and he's already gonna take a hit on

244
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 3: the passing by him week to week, so therefore he

245
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: may not be asked to do much once he gets back,

246
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: you know, for week one, week two, or whatever the

247
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: case may be. They do much in that offense just

248
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: so they could stretch out the longevity of the health

249
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 3: of him. And I'm already looking at him like I

250
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: don't know if I really want to take that chance

251
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 3: on him. Like if I, like Florio said, I can

252
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 3: get him as my low QB two, maybe, But in

253
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: a lot of situations early in drafts, I was already

254
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 3: waiting into the deep depths of the rounds to get

255
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 3: him as my QB one with some type of upsiding,

256
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 3: you know, making sure that other positions that I was at,

257
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 3: tight end, wide receiver, running back, we're all solid and

258
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: stacked at depth. Now I can't do that with Justin

259
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 3: Herbert just gonna pivot the jerk off.

260
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I was.

261
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: I was in before this news about the foot injury

262
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: came out because I felt like we had sort of

263
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: gone way too overboard with this. You know, the Chargers

264
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: are gonna run the football. I'm like, they're still gonna

265
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: throw the ball a little bit. I mean they you know,

266
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: they have a guy who is a borderline franchise quarterback.

267
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 1: You know, like it's enough to have confidence in him.

268
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: But now with this, who knows how long this thing lingers.

269
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna kind of stay away from him.

270
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: I just saw this come across h lakwan. I'm gonna

271
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: direct this at you.

272
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 2: Knee injury practice.

273
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: The latest report is that he is weak to week

274
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: with a knee injury.

275
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: Your immediate thoughts on this.

276
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 3: I was having a good Sunday, man, I really I

277
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 3: was having a good son. I put it off because

278
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 3: I saw the news that got heard in practice. I

279
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 3: put it off, and then of course I'm getting tagged

280
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: on Twitter that he week to week and I don't

281
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 3: like this at all. Man, this this hurts because it's like, Pookah,

282
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 3: we need you healthy, Cooper Cup, we need you healthy.

283
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 3: Stafford would need you healthy. When the Avengers all assembled

284
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: in week twelve, when we were all good, the team

285
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 3: looked like it was unstoppable. Now with this injury, it's like, man,

286
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 3: we need to do something about the practice field, Like

287
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 3: we need to do something because guys are getting hurt

288
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 3: left and right, like our old line three guys. Like

289
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 3: this is not looking good and you know, usually we're

290
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 3: the healthy team. But you know, sad, sad day for

291
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 3: all the Pooka Nakua fans.

292
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, look, it's week to week, right, So

293
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: right now, I don't know that I'm really worried about it,

294
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: but you know, if this thing starts to linger and

295
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: we get closer to week one and it's still that situation,

296
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: then I may have concerns.

297
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: We can no longer say it's early because we're like

298
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: four weeks out of the week one. True, you know,

299
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,319
Speaker 3: like this is very concerning to me, Like this reminds.

300
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: Me a lot of what happened to Cooper Cup last year,

301
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 4: where it happened about time and we were like, at

302
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 4: least I won't speak for anyone by myself, I was like,

303
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 4: this isn't a big deal.

304
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 2: He could be back for Week.

305
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 4: One, no problem, and then he reinjured it at the

306
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 4: end of August and it just derailed his whole season.

307
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 4: And I was already of the mindset that like Cooper Cup,

308
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 4: I love Pooka Nakua, but Cooper Cup to me is

309
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 4: the Rams receiver that I think is the best value

310
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: right now and that I still believe could be potentially

311
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 4: a league winner if things break right for him this year.

312
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 4: But now at Pooka being hurt, it's like, is this look,

313
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 4: he's younger, He's got less wear and tear and all

314
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 4: of that, so he could bounce back quicker. Maybe this

315
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 4: is nothing like last year, But the pessimist in me

316
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: is just like Cooper Cup hurt a lot of my

317
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 4: teams last year because I was still drafting him after

318
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 4: he got hurt.

319
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we saw this last year, right, so

320
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: but hopefully this is not the same. Hopefully this is

321
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: not that, but definitely worth monitoring over the next couple

322
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: of days or so, I knocked on wood. We have

323
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: to spend a long time. But there was the Hall

324
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: of Fame game over the weekend last Thursday. Bears get

325
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: the win. They were lead when the game was called

326
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: because of inclement. Whether it's twenty one seventeen is how

327
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: it ended. What if anything, did we learn right now?

328
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: And really the starters on either side played. We didn't

329
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: see CJ. Stroud, We didn't see Caleb Williams. Nobody I

330
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: think was surprised by that. But any takeaways, I mean, Florida,

331
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: were you are you? Are you back in on cam Akers?

332
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: I guess this is what I'm trying to get to

333
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: sweet about it.

334
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: I've been firmly out on cam Makers. The thing I'm

335
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: hoping is that I'm hoping the Texans are like, hey,

336
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 4: cam Akers is such a good backup that we could

337
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 4: trade Damian Pierce. There you go and trade him to

338
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 4: a team, because I just think he's a bad scheme

339
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: fit here, Like, I don't believe you go from looking

340
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 4: like Damian Pierce did as a rookie to what he

341
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 4: did last year just by like losing all physical capabilities.

342
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 4: I just think he's a bad fit for this scheme

343
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 4: that they have right now. And if you trade him

344
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 4: to a more power scheme like the Cowboys or the Chargers,

345
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 4: I think.

346
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: He can really elevate and be what he was a

347
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: couple of years ago.

348
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: And yeah, maybe I'm taking a bunch of him as

349
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 4: my last round picks right.

350
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: Now because I'm like, he's so cheap.

351
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 4: The biggest thing I learned, though, is we all say

352
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 4: the Hall of Fame game doesn't matter, and that's largely

353
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: true until it doesn't finish. And then there's a lot

354
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: of people out there who are very upset.

355
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: They might have had stuff on the line or something,

356
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: they might have had some other interests in that game

357
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: and they don't get to finish that out.

358
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry about your luck on that one. I'll remember.

359
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: We're old enough to remember.

360
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: Remember was it a couple of years ago when Josh

361
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: Jacobs played like all of the.

362
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame game?

363
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: We were like, oh no, like he's gonna get traded.

364
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: This is a bad sign. And then he had the

365
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: best rushing season of his Yeah.

366
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: Shot Penny last year too.

367
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 4: Right, there's always one veteran that they still make play

368
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 4: in this game, right.

369
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Yeah, I mean we learned Colin Johnson.

370
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 3: You know, he was a breakout star in the Hall

371
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: of Fame game. He was the tallest wide receiver last season,

372
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: probably still the tallest, but six to six. You know,

373
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 3: shout out acbar He's a six to six guy.

374
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: I never understood why a team doesn't sign like a

375
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 2: seven footer and just make him a red zone like

376
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: a goal one. Specially, that's what we.

377
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: Were saying about Bar our friend. There you go, There

378
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 3: you go.

379
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: He could have been.

380
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 3: He could have been like a tight end or something.

381
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 2: So waiting for the day somebody tries to sign Victor wimb.

382
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: No one, if you put him on the one, no

383
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 4: one is stopping him. Six one corners is gonna be

384
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 4: like keeps playing on a nerve hoop.

385
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: I feel but I feel like, you know, getting a

386
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: release off the line, like he's a thin fellow, Like

387
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: he's not particularly I don't know how muscular he is.

388
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: We need like Joel embiide out there.

389
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, we need somebody who can, like, you know,

390
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: maybe deal with some press coverage at the line anyone. Uh. Anyway,

391
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: I gonna take a break, come back and dive into

392
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: the a f C South. We talked about the Tennessee Titans.

393
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: We'll talk about them a little bit later on the

394
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: show as well. That's coming up next to her on

395
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. So the a f C

396
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: South on the docket today. As always, teams are listed

397
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: in alphabetical order, so that starts us off with the

398
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: Houston Texans, a big surprise team from last season. I

399
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: think everybody was thinking there was a chance for them

400
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 1: to elevate, but maybe not as quickly as they did.

401
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 2: Their top scores from last season. CJ. Stroud the top quarterback.

402
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: He was the QB eleven overall two hundred and eighty

403
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 1: one points, Devin Singletary the RB thirty two one sixty

404
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: seven point three, Nico Collins was their leading scoring wide

405
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: receiver wide receiver twelve and fantasy two hundred and sixty

406
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: point four points, and Dalton Schultz it was the tight

407
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: end ten one hundred and fifty and a half points

408
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: in the offseason, they said goodbye to Devin Singletary. They

409
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: did acquire Stefan Diggs in a trade. Also former Rams

410
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: number one wide receiver Ben Scornic in a trade as well.

411
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 2: They did sign nothing nothing for the ugliest number.

412
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 3: Ugliest number possibly. I tweeted about that, like he needs

413
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: to change that, Like twenty six on a wide receiver

414
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 3: looks so weird.

415
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 2: That is wild.

416
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 1: Other additions in the offseason, they signed Joe Mixon in

417
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 1: free agency. They drafted a tied and Kate Stover in

418
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: the fourth round, and a running back Jamar Johnson Juar

419
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: Jordan Rather.

420
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: In the sixth round.

421
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: First sexon off the board Nico Collins at thirty two.

422
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: So we've sort of talked about this, I think repeatedly,

423
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 1: but now I'm asking you guys to plant a flag here.

424
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: Choose your fighter. You gotta pick one in redraft, not

425
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 1: best Ball, Nico Collins, Stefan Diggs, Tank, Dell Florio.

426
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: You can start Nico Collins.

427
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 4: He is is the one that I have firmly decided

428
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 4: is the one I want the most. I understand he

429
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 4: goes first and you gotta pay up to get him,

430
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 4: but he is the one that I feel most comfortable,

431
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 4: will be consistently out there two wide receiver sets, three

432
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 4: wide receiver sets. You can move him all over the field.

433
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 4: He could play the X, he could play in the slot.

434
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 4: He can win downfield and better yet, he can win

435
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 4: after the catch, like there's nothing that he cannot do,

436
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 4: which is why I believe that he'll be out there

437
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 4: the most. I think Tank Dell brings a high ceiling,

438
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 4: maybe not the safest floor, because is he can to

439
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 4: be out there in two wide receiver sets stuff like that.

440
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,840
Speaker 4: I think Steph Diggs will have a set role on

441
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 4: this team. He's gonna get plenty of volume. I think

442
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 4: he brings a very safe floor. But getting up there

443
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 4: in age starting to lose potentially the deep ball in

444
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: his game. So I don't I have questions about his upside.

445
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 4: To me, Nico Collins, is that safe floor meets that

446
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 4: high ceiling and you kind of get the best of

447
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 4: both worlds that the other two give you all in one.

448
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: But I love taking these guys in best ball. I

449
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: don't know about you guys in.

450
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 4: Redraft where you actually have to play them week to

451
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 4: week and everything like that. I find myself a little

452
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 4: bit more hesitant because there's a lot. It's like kind

453
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 4: of what the forty nine ers were from me years ago.

454
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 4: I'm like, I know this offense is gonna be great.

455
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 4: I know at the end of the year they'll probably

456
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: have their numbers, but week to week it might be

457
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 4: a major headache.

458
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

459
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's that's the thing for me,

460
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: is that it's just gonna be so hard to try

461
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: to figure out whose week it is. If I'm picking one,

462
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna pick Tank Dell in part because he

463
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: is the cheapest of the three, but also because I

464
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: think he does have the most upside. I mean, he

465
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: was the guy who I think was the more consistent

466
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: when both he and Collins were healthy.

467
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: So that's kind of where I'm going.

468
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: But I just sort of understand that, look, there are

469
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: gonna be weeks that's gonna be really, really frustrating, and

470
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that we're gonna be able to sell,

471
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: certainly not right away which one is, which I think

472
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: maybe by the time we get a decent sample sized

473
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: midway through the season, we'll have a better idea.

474
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: But right now, I just I just don't know. I

475
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: don't know.

476
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: Do you have one Lakwan that you parfectarly prefer hoping

477
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 1: it's Digs, it is Diggs.

478
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 3: I can't believe we all pick different players like this

479
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 3: is crazy, but I think it's Digs because Florie'll talk

480
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: about that safe floor like obviously scared money, don't make

481
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 3: money with him over here. But I just feel like

482
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs is the safest floor just based on if

483
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: there is regression in Nico's game, if it's yards receptions,

484
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 3: even if it's touchdowns, it will be because of Stefon Diggs.

485
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 3: So therefore, I feel as though I don't have to

486
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 3: pay that early second round price where Nico Collins is going,

487
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 3: where I compare Stefon Diggs with the wide receiver too

488
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 3: price on him where if there is a headache week

489
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: to week, hopefully how I draft him some of these

490
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 3: redrafts that are coming up to that end of this month,

491
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 3: I will have a good depth at wide receiver to

492
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 3: where I could just swap him out for a potential

493
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 3: flex guy or a potential wide receiver three. So the

494
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: safest bet here if you are going to get a

495
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,360
Speaker 3: piece of this Texans offense, I think, in my opinion,

496
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs is the guy that will want on the

497
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 3: back and in that third round.

498
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 2: All right, so we helped everybody, not at all.

499
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: We know are different way, but you know, I think

500
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: I think honestly that speaks to how confusing the situation is.

501
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's been one of the biggest

502
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: talking points across fantasy this offseason is which Texans receiver

503
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: do you want?

504
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: How do you determine which one?

505
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: And I think every argument I've heard for every single

506
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: one of these players is a completely valid argument, right,

507
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: Like it's hard, it's hard to really poke holes in

508
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: any of these because we just really don't know, and

509
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: we're not gonna know. I think at least a month

510
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: before we kind of get a sense of who's who

511
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: and who's doing what florio Are we undervaluing Joe Mixon?

512
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like we haven't talked a lot

513
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: about him a lot. We spent so much time on

514
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,680
Speaker 1: the passing game. But are we undervaluing him right now?

515
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 4: I think he's properly valued personally, Like he goes as

516
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 4: a high end RB two in a lot of drafts,

517
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 4: and that's where I have him ranked. Like, I don't

518
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:27,720
Speaker 4: feel comfortable with him as my RB one. I still

519
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 4: think he's got it left in the tank there. Last

520
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 4: season second best rate in his career, actually have runs

521
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 4: that went for ten or more yards, and I think

522
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 4: he could see he did that despite seeing his most

523
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 4: loadorboxes since twenty eighteen.

524
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: The c J.

525
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 4: Stroud deep ball and all those receivers around him should

526
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 4: help create running lanes. The issue is, I don't think

527
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 4: he's gonna get nearly as many targets as he got

528
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 4: in Cincinnati.

529
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: Like c J.

530
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 4: Stroud is not a type of quarterback, or at least

531
00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 4: he wasn't as a rookie who is looking to dump

532
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 4: the ball off. He keeps his eyes down feeling than

533
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 4: wants to throw down field where it's Joe Burrow and

534
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 4: the Bengals had a lot more designed stuff for mixing,

535
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 4: So I wouldn't be surprised if he kind of had

536
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 4: a little bit of a better season than what like

537
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: Devin Singletary gave us down the stretch last year, which

538
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 4: was really reliable RB two numbers that you could start

539
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 4: each week, but the upside was capped.

540
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: I mean, any thought Lakwan that maybe they go a

541
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: little bit more run heavy, because I feel like they

542
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: got in a lot of high scoring games, especially kind

543
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: of midway through the season, that forced them to be

544
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: a little pass heavy. Any any concern that maybe they

545
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,360
Speaker 1: decide that they want to try and run the ball

546
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: and be more ball controlled, because I mean they have

547
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: a defensive head coach, a Demigo Ryans. Or is this

548
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: or is it gonna be status quo from last year?

549
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 3: I think it would be a little bit of last

550
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 3: year mixed in with Joe Mixon's abilities. I like Florio said,

551
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 3: he might not see a bunch of targets, but he's

552
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 3: still one of the best red zone running backs since

553
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, like top five and most of the major categories.

554
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 3: So I think more so you need to have your

555
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 3: expectations and order win game of Joe Mixon. Like they

556
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: may have a nice balance between pass and run, and

557
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 3: I think that's where Joe Mixon can have the longevity,

558
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 3: you know, through the season, being that you know he

559
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,479
Speaker 3: kind of has like a bumpy up and down injury

560
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: history as well. So I think the positive here when

561
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 3: you're walking away from draft with Mixing as your RB

562
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 3: two or RB three, wherever the case may be, because

563
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: also I don't trust him as my RB one with

564
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: a new situation in this offense. So I feel like,

565
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 3: you know, the positive here that you're walking away mixing

566
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 3: as your RB two or whatever the case may be,

567
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: is that he is one of the best, you know,

568
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 3: red zone goal line scorers out there. So I think

569
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 3: that you're going to be leaning on a lot of

570
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 3: touchdowns for Joe Mixon to have some type of high

571
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 3: ceilings and fantasy outings, you know, week to week.

572
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: I like him at ADP, though, I mean I like

573
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 2: him where he's perfect. Right now. He's like RB fifteen sixteen,

574
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: depending on where you look.

575
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 3: It's like the sixth seventh round that he slips to,

576
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 3: which is insane. It's insane. That's why I'm like, this

577
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: is perfect where he's at.

578
00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: I have started to see redraft ADP and like Derek Henry,

579
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 4: Isaiah Pacheco, Kaien Williams, all these names that we like

580
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 4: in like the third, fourth round are going second round.

581
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 4: So I think Joe Mixon might be pulled up like

582
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 4: a round or two in redraft, But in Beastball, the

583
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 4: running backs ADP are insane right now.

584
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about a guy who win, he's

585
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: been healthy in his career, has generally been a top

586
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,920
Speaker 1: ten running back, you know, and I know the situation

587
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: is different, but I also think they brought him in

588
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: for a reason. I mean, they actually went out and

589
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: made a trade for him when it looked like the

590
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 1: Bengals were just ready to cut him loose. So it

591
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,200
Speaker 1: just feels like the Texans have a plan in place

592
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:33,959
Speaker 1: for Joe Mixon.

593
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,199
Speaker 3: I feel like with this, I feel like with this

594
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 3: healthy Texans OH line, that he might be able to

595
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 3: be more efficient on the yards for carry aspect of things.

596
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 3: And that's always been his knock, you know, with the Bengals.

597
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 3: But we've known the Bengals have been working on their

598
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 3: own line since the beginning of time, like they couldn't

599
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 3: really get it right, and he's still putting up a

600
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 3: thousand yards behind like a mid tier type of O line.

601
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: So I think this might be a good little upgrade

602
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 3: for him, you know, going into Houston.

603
00:25:59,280 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.

604
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: Uh Lakwana's Dalton Schultz cooked. I don't mean like physically cooked.

605
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: I just mean cooked in terms of, like, are there

606
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: just not gonna be enough targets left for him to

607
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: be anything this year?

608
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: He's sitting in the crock pot right now, getting slow cooked.

609
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 3: I mean, it's only because you know, the random weeks

610
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 3: that he finds his self fantasy relevant. I mean Nico Collins,

611
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 3: you know, he has his little injury pass as well,

612
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: and then you know Tank Dell he's building up some

613
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 3: type of injury list, but he's always going to be

614
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 3: on the radar of like just with his side. So

615
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 3: there could be some random weeks that you know, Dalton

616
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: Schultz might end up relevant. But obviously this will be

617
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 3: a best ball take. But Redraft, I don't see myself

618
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 3: targeting him at all.

619
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 4: Same like, I'd rather he's going right after like Goddar

620
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 4: and Djoku Frar Mood.

621
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: I'd rather have all of those guys.

622
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I miss out on tight ends like that,

623
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 4: those are the groups that I'm targeting, and I'm pairing

624
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 4: them with t J.

625
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: Hopkinson.

626
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 3: There you go.

627
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 2: I also don't understand why Pat Fryarmooth is so low.

628
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we talked about the Steelers already,

629
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: we did our AFC North preview, but it just it

630
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: feels like Pat fryar Mooth should be pulled up a

631
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: little bit more. Yeah, yeah, you know, at least two

632
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 1: rounds in my opinion, you know, like maybe not a

633
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: great quarterback situation, but not horrible and not a ton

634
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: of target competition beyond George Pickens. It just feels like

635
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 1: we should be giving Pat fryn With some more love.

636
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: But that's another conversation. Let's move to the Indianapolis Colts.

637
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: Last year, Gardner Minshew was their QB one, in large

638
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: part because Anthony Richardson did not hang around that long

639
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: because of an injury two hundred and five points for

640
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: the Mustache QB twenty one. Zach Moss was actually their

641
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: top scoring running back RB thirty one, just the shy

642
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: of one hundred and seventy points for the record. Jonathan

643
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: Taylor was about thirteen points behind Moss and finished as

644
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: the RB thirty three. Michael Pittman was your top scoring

645
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: receiver two hundred and fifty points for him Wide receiver

646
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: thirteen finish and I never would have come up with

647
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: this on my own. Kylon Granson was their top scoring

648
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: tight end, a whopping seventy three points, which made him

649
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: be tight.

650
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: End thirty one.

651
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: I literally was like ou in my head, I'm like,

652
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: who was the Colt's tight end? And look at him

653
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: like Hyland Grandson yep. Wouldn't wouldn't have remembered that on

654
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: my own for sure losses. In the off season, they

655
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: said goodbye to Gardner Minshew, Zach Moss, and Isaiah McKinzie.

656
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: They brought in through free agency Joe Flacco just because

657
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: you want a quarterback who does the same things as

658
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: your starter. Because Anthony Richardson and Trey Sermon the running

659
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: back who just has not been able to hook on

660
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: anywhere in his career, they did draft Ad and I

661
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: Mitchell in the second round and wide receive Anthony Gold

662
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: in the fifth round. First colt off the board Jonathan

663
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: Taylor at eleven point two. So I'm gonna ask these

664
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: questions sort of out of order from the way I

665
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: wrote them because I just mentioned Jonathan Taylor. So I

666
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 1: will ask you, Florio, is Jonathan Taylor being undervalued at

667
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: RB six. I know he's your guy.

668
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 4: He is my guy, but no, I do not believe

669
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 4: he's being undervalued there. I think maybe to me, I'm like, okay,

670
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 4: I can see. I think I believe I have a

671
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 4: ranked is my RB four, So I think you can

672
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 4: push him up a little bit, but he belongs in

673
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 4: that same tier. After the Elite three guys with like

674
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley, you could put Jamiir Gibbs in there, Kyrien Williams,

675
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 4: Dereck Henry, et cetera. The second round guys, I think

676
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 4: that's where he belongs because the upside is sky high.

677
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 4: We know that we've seen him already finish before as

678
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 4: the RB one like a cup just a couple of

679
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 4: years ago.

680
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 2: Although it was one of the.

681
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 4: Worst RB one seasons of all time. I still love

682
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 4: my guy Jonathan Taylor. The upside with him running the

683
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 4: option with Anthony Richardson.

684
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: Is very high.

685
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 4: But there's also look, Anthony Richardson's probably gonna, if he

686
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,840
Speaker 4: stays healthy for seventeen games, probably gonna take eight hundred

687
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 4: rushing yards away, maybe a thousand plus away. He's also

688
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 4: potentially gonna take a lot of goal line work because

689
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 4: his head coach was one of the brain trusts that

690
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 4: developed the tush push in the first place. So yeah, like,

691
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 4: I think the floor is very safe with Jonathan Taylor,

692
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 4: but the the ceiling might be a little bit capped

693
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 4: because of Anthony Richardson. But yeah, I still love him

694
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 4: where he's going. He's if I take a wide receiver

695
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 4: in the first round. I don't love any in round

696
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 4: like middle of round two. I'll take Jonathan Taylor absolutely.

697
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: I mean lak Jonathan Taylor is Saquon Uh Jonathan Taylor.

698
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 3: And I only say that because Saquon He He's one

699
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 3: of those guys that I can't put my hat on anymore,

700
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: just with the injury history, you know, Like I love

701
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 3: the town, I love what he brings to the table

702
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 3: when healthy, but it's just that he's been injured so

703
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 3: many times and burned my fantasy team so many times

704
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 3: to where it's like you just can't anymore, you know,

705
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 3: like you love him in a new winning situation with Philadelphia,

706
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 3: but Jonathan Taylor, to me, man is more of the

707
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 3: safer bet here. It's all about expectations as well with

708
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 3: Jonathan Taylor, Like you have to go into these drafts

709
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 3: having clear expectations because, like Florio said, AR fifteen, he's

710
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 3: gonna be going out there like he's going to be

711
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: taking some of those goal line opportunities, the red zone opportunities,

712
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,239
Speaker 3: the rushing yards, and it's gonna take away a lot

713
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 3: from Jonathan Taylor's game where he's gonna have to eat

714
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: a different way, you know, Like I really feel as

715
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 3: though he's still one of those top seven running backs

716
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 3: in that conversation, but if I could pivot to Jamier Gibbs,

717
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 3: I honestly would you know, just based on how explosive

718
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 3: he is?

719
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: Am I crazy because I think I'd rather have Jonathan

720
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: Taylor over Jamier Gibbs for the reason being that I

721
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: think Cayl I think, look the floor. I don't even

722
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: know how, but like, I just think there's so much

723
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: volatility with Jimior Gibbs right where you have to draft him.

724
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: The fact that he's going off as a top four

725
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: running back, like David Montgomery still exists, right, he still

726
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: walks the earth. You look at Indianapolis, there isn't really

727
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: that level of competition for Jonathan Taylor. Like, yeah, Anthony

728
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 1: Richardson will take some of that goal line work, but

729
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: everywhere else on the field, I mean, are you really

730
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: worried about Trace Sermon? You know, I remember we talked

731
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: ourselves into Evan Hall being the guy last year when

732
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: Taylor was hurt, and then Hall got hurt really early

733
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: in the season. There's just nobody there that's really gonna

734
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: take those opportunities away from Jonathan Taylor.

735
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 2: From from just a rushing standpoint, and I.

736
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: Look at Philadelphia, there's so many weapons there that's that's

737
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: necessarily gonna take away from Saquon Barkley.

738
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: I would rather have Taylor than both of those guys, right.

739
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 4: And the thing with Gibbs is we've we've spent a

740
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 4: lot of time this offseason saying like, we don't love

741
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 4: taking devon a chan where he goes in like the

742
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 4: middle to late second round.

743
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: Gibbs and a chance situation are very similar, right they are,

744
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: And AND's got a much better both.

745
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 4: Explosive, smaller backs with a big back there that that

746
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 4: is a veteran who could take goal on touches away

747
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 4: on good like like the sky is the The upside

748
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 4: is immense for both of them, but there's another back there.

749
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: Stuff like that is.

750
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: So you look at Gibbs where it's a lot higher

751
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 3: when the David Montgomery came back fifty exactly. So it's like,

752
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 3: I feel as though you get more of the upside

753
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 3: of him and chances higher scoring rate with Gibbs in

754
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 3: that red zone versus h who's not really used in

755
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 3: the red zone to where you're not going to see

756
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: many touchdowns opportunities That's where I just kind of have

757
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 3: it flipped.

758
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: But it is similar, ye, very similar.

759
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: I feel like, yeah, we all had that that sort

760
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: of look in the mirror moment with Devon ait Cham,

761
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: which is why his ADP came down. But I don't

762
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: feel like we've had a similar moment with Jamiir Gibbs.

763
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 3: Maybe not, I don't know.

764
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: Y uh, look on what is the ceiling for Anthony Richardson?

765
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: Could he be the QB one this year?

766
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely? I mean the dude scored what seven touchdowns in

767
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 3: like two and a half games. I mean, if he's

768
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 3: going to be in an end zone more times than not,

769
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 3: then I don't see why him finishing as the e

770
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 3: QB one is out of the question, especially in seventeen games.

771
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: I feel like he's a threat with his arm, and

772
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 3: he's a huge threat on the ground as well. So

773
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 3: it's like he has that double Tandre here where it's

774
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: like I feel like, Anthony Richardson the ceiling, the sky's

775
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 3: the limit. It should be QB one.

776
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it easily is to me. I think

777
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 4: the only people in the NFL that match Anthony Richardson's

778
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 4: up is Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen and they have

779
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 4: been the top two quarterbacks drafted for years now because

780
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 4: of what largely because what they give you with their legs,

781
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 4: and Anthony Richardson I believe could give you. I don't

782
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: think he's going to this year give you fifteen rushing

783
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 4: touchdowns like Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen did, but he

784
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 4: can give you double digits like easily. And then I

785
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 4: know some people might be like, well, is he gonna

786
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 4: throw for.

787
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 2: Four thousand yards? He doesn't have to.

788
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 4: Laayer's Lamar Jackson never has, Kyler Murray never has, Jalen

789
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 4: Hurts never has. Like when you have such and I

790
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 4: think Richardson could be like what Hurts is, just with

791
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 4: even more rushing yards because he's faster and just a

792
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 4: better natural runner.

793
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: So yeah, it.

794
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 4: It's like josh Allen Hurts and even that, I'm like,

795
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 4: Richardson's upside might surpass the two of them as well.

796
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 2: I love it. Yeah, I mean I think that that

797
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 2: is within the range of outcomes.

798
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to come up with a number in

799
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: my head for passing yards that would get him there, right, Like,

800
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: let's put him at eight hundred rushing yards right, eight

801
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards and ten touchdowns, because those seem realistic

802
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: for Anthony Richardson thirty five hundred passing yards. What twenty

803
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: five touchdowns is that? Does that feel realistic? Is that possible?

804
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 4: I think last year might be a blessing in disguise

805
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 4: for him, because obviously we want on the job training,

806
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 4: but like he kind of got to sit back, work

807
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 4: with Shane Psychen and just like from a mental standpoint,

808
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 4: take everything in and that's where people said he needed

809
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 4: to improve the most. And like the reports this year

810
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 4: are like, Wow, it's like he's a different person compared

811
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 4: to how he was breaking down the game last year.

812
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 4: And sometimes I think just a year kind of with

813
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,320
Speaker 4: no pressure and everything just learning.

814
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: Could be a good thing. Yeah, well hopefully. I mean

815
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: the big thing is him just stay healthy. That's all

816
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 2: we want. That's it, Just stay healthy for sure. Lakwan.

817
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:53,920
Speaker 2: Is there another?

818
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: Actually, I asked Floria Flora, is there another pass catcher

819
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: you want after Michael Pittman.

820
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 2: I love Michael Pittman a lot after him.

821
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,399
Speaker 4: I like the talent that is Donna Mitchell and Josh

822
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 4: Downs and stuff, but I don't have a like a

823
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 4: flag plant or anything like that. To me, this seems

824
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 4: like one of those situations that will learn about it

825
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,239
Speaker 4: as the year progresses, Like Pittman is clearly number one.

826
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 4: Uh well, we'll kind of learn who steps up the rest.

827
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 4: And I could see these being names that hit big

828
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 4: off the waiver wire in like week four or something

829
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 4: like that.

830
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 2: You look on any of these guys do anything for you.

831
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 3: If my leagues have like deeper bench spots, maybe I'll

832
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 3: go at their Josh downs because I kind of liked

833
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 3: way he was pulling out of that slot as a

834
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 3: guy that could separate. He could possibly be, you know,

835
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 3: a security blanket for Anthony Richardson, but that will probably

836
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 3: be it. Like, if I don't have the bench spots,

837
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 3: I probably won't look to the Colts wide receivers outside

838
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 3: of Pittman. But uh yeah, there's a lot there's there's

839
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 3: just not much there.

840
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I mean, I just I think

841
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,720
Speaker 1: I like there's that that there's potential there. But because

842
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: we're still sort of waiting on Richardson as a passer,

843
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: Like I just don't know how many guys he can

844
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 1: legitimately support beyond Michael Pittman. That's the thing that's sort

845
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 1: of keeping me away from him at this point. All Right,

846
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 1: two teams down, two teams to go. As we continue

847
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: our look at the AFC South. Stick around for more

848
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. Jacksonville Jaguars Next up. Had

849
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: a really monumental collapse at the end of last season,

850
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: ended up missing the playoffs all together. Now trying to

851
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: sort of regroup and see what they have in store

852
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty four. But the last year, Trevor Lawrence,

853
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 1: your top QB was QB thirteen two hundred and seventy

854
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: six point six points. Travis etm the RB three overall

855
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty two point four points for him.

856
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley just shy at two hundred and thirty points.

857
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 1: He was the wide receiver eighteen. Evan Ingram was the

858
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: tight end two two hundred and thirty point three points.

859
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: In the offseason, they moved on from Calvin Ridley, Za Jones,

860
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: and Jamal Agnew. They acquired Mac Jones in a trade.

861
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: They signed Gabe Davis, Devin Duvernet, and.

862
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: Sided in Josiah the Guara.

863
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: And they drafted Brian Thomas in the first round and

864
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 1: running back Kilan Robinson in the fifth, Travis etn is

865
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: your first Jaguar off the board at.

866
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: Eighteen point four.

867
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: So Lakwan, is Trevor Lawrence a value at QB fourteen

868
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 1: this year?

869
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 3: I don't know about value. I mean that's kind of

870
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,239
Speaker 3: where he should be going to be honest. I mean

871
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: we haven't really seen this breakout season from Trevor Lawrence,

872
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 3: and there's always been I don't want to say excuses,

873
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,479
Speaker 3: but there's been something keeping him from hitting his full

874
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 3: fantasy potential. But you know, if you're in the business

875
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 3: of waiting for you know, double digit rounds for your

876
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 3: QB one, eh, I guess you could take a shot

877
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 3: and you better have your rest of your positions in

878
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: solid and stone, Like this doesn't mean drafting a bunch

879
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 3: of rookies before you get t law or drafting z A.

880
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 3: Flowers or the Gabe Davises of the world. You know,

881
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:59,720
Speaker 3: like your roster can't look like that. And you're waiting

882
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 3: for Lawrence like he's one of those guys that you

883
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 3: just need to understand, like where his ceiling is and

884
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 3: kind of where his floor is. It's not gonna be

885
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 3: something you want for X amount of weeks.

886
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: Mean Flora.

887
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: Is this the year? Is this a make or break

888
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: year at least for fantasy for Trevor Lawrence And I

889
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: only got paid by the Jaguars, so they obviously believe

890
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: in him. But for fantasy, is this the year we

891
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 1: either figure out is he actually good or is he

892
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: just kind of mid?

893
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I think last year was kind of because

894
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 4: like his second year, we were like, all right, we're

895
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 4: cleaning the slate. His rookie year didn't count. He put

896
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 4: up a really good number two. Then they brought in

897
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,319
Speaker 4: Calvin Ridley. We were all super bullish, like, look at

898
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 4: all the weapons he has, all this stuff, and yeah,

899
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 4: I mean I know he was battling like four different

900
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 4: injuries last season, So yeah, maybe if he if he

901
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 4: looks healthy again this year and he puts up better numbers,

902
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 4: I'll change my tune. But he's yet to average eighteen

903
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 4: Fantasy points per game. And the frustrating part is he's

904
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 4: doing it doing what I thought would kind of elevate

905
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 4: him in fantasy, which is being a really good, good

906
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 4: runner near the goal line. He's got four rushing or

907
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 4: more rushing touchdowns in two straight years. He had a

908
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 4: career high in rushing yards last season and it still

909
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 4: didn't translate to a huge success. And he's really as

910
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 4: struggled as a passer in the red zone in particular.

911
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 4: So if you're not racking up touchdowns, and it's gonna

912
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 4: be hard for you. And that's the thing. Like his

913
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 4: career touchdown rate is three point three percent. It dipped

914
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 4: last year after a solid show his second year. So like,

915
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 4: I think QB fourteen is appropriately priced, but he's not

916
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 4: someone Maybe it's because I've been burned like three years

917
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 4: in a row now, but he's not someone that I

918
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 4: find myself like bullishly targeting, Like I'd much rather wait

919
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 4: around to get Jared Goff.

920
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: I mean, no more than twenty five touchdowns in any

921
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: given season. He's had double digit interceptions in two of

922
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: his three seasons. You know, he's gone back to back

923
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,959
Speaker 1: years over four thousand yards. But it just there's nothing

924
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 1: about it that suggests he's ready to somehow take this

925
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: big leap. You can almost argue that I don't know

926
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:05,359
Speaker 1: if if his wide receiver group got any better from

927
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: last year, losing Calvin Ridley and you know, adding Gabe Davis.

928
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: We'll see if Brian what Brian Thomas turns into if

929
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: he really is that deep threat, it could be a

930
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:14,760
Speaker 1: big play guy in the offense.

931
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,279
Speaker 2: But there's just there's too much unknown for me to

932
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 2: get excited about it.

933
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: I keep looking at Trevor Lawrence and trying to tell

934
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 1: myself a story of how I can sort of plug

935
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 1: him into a lineup, and I don't really have a

936
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: good story about it right now. So Evan Ingram was

937
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: a good story last year, finishes the tied end two

938
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 1: behind Sam Laporta.

939
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 2: Lakwan.

940
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: Any confidence that he can repeat what he did last season.

941
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 3: Uh maybe, I mean there there's probably some injuries that

942
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 3: were likely to happen. I don't want to say it's

943
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,320
Speaker 3: a definite thing, but I feel like it's going to

944
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 3: be hard for him to kind of scratch the surface

945
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 3: for like four to five targets per game with the

946
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 3: new weapons that they have on a perimeter. So I

947
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 3: think a lot of people need to have their expectations.

948
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 3: I keep saying expectations because it's very important going into

949
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 3: these drafts with the tight end like Evan Ingram, who's

950
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:03,520
Speaker 3: in a crowded room right now, so it's gonna be

951
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 3: hard for him to even try to do what he

952
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,760
Speaker 3: did last year because a lot of that was based

953
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 3: on injuries.

954
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean a lot of based on injuries.

955
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: And I know Florida we talked about how so much

956
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: of it was just short passing on a team that

957
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: I think wants to be more vertical, more downfield. I

958
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: know that he said himself, Ingram did that he wants

959
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: to be more of a vertical option in the passing game.

960
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's not a vertical option, does does that?

961
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: Let's put it this way. Last year he was a

962
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 1: tight end too, right. I feel like the range of

963
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,479
Speaker 1: outcomes could be that he's the top three tight end again,

964
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: or you know, he could be outside the top twelve.

965
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: I mean, is there do you have any feeling one

966
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 2: way or another on that.

967
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 4: I think he'll probably finish more in the like eight

968
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 4: to twelve range at the tight end position. One hundred

969
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 4: and fourteen catches last year's second most ever by a

970
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 4: tight end, but he's the only tight end in NFL

971
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,320
Speaker 4: history to have one hundred and more catches and not

972
00:42:58,440 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 4: get eight thousand yards.

973
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: So the efficiency is off the charts bad.

974
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:07,040
Speaker 4: If that volume decreases back to what it like, he

975
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,239
Speaker 4: could lose thirty targets and it would still be a

976
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 4: great year for him career wise, but that's going to

977
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 4: really hurt, and I think it's possible he could lose

978
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 4: that volume because last year with and without Christian Kirk

979
00:43:18,680 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 4: was night and day. He averaged over ten targets per game,

980
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 4: nineteen over nineteen fantasy points per game. Without Christian Watson

981
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 4: it was eleven point six per game, with Watson at

982
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 4: just seven point six targets per game, and he did

983
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 4: not score a touchdown while Christian Kirk. I keep saying

984
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 4: Chrisian Watson, I mean Christian Kirk. He did not score

985
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,919
Speaker 4: a touchdown while Kirk was out on the field last year,

986
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 4: So that's all very problematic. And then I know they

987
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 4: lost Calvin Ridley, but they did bring in two targets

988
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 4: that you would assume are better field stretchers in Gabe

989
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 4: Davis and Brian Thomas. So maybe he gets a couple

990
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 4: of more downfield targets, but I don't think it's going

991
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 4: to be a routine thing, and I think a decrease.

992
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 2: In volume is coming as well. So, I mean, you

993
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 2: mentioned Christian Kirk, Lakwan is there.

994
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:03,920
Speaker 1: Do you have confidence in any of these receivers after him,

995
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: I guess maybe Brian Thomas might be the leading candidate there.

996
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 3: Uh, Brian Thomas, I've grabbed in a few basketball leagues,

997
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 3: but redraft, I don't think I'm going to be touching

998
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 3: him unless I got deeper bench spots. But I feel like,

999
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 3: you know, it's either Kirk or nothing for me. Like

1000
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 3: he's been my guy for a couple of years now,

1001
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 3: and I think he's been old reliable. I mean, if

1002
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,719
Speaker 3: you want a safe floor, it's kind of like go

1003
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 3: to the number one wide receiver on the team. That's

1004
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 3: kind of at a discount. In my opinion, I think

1005
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 3: he can stay healthy this year and kind of break

1006
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: his ADP or smash his ADP whatever the kids are

1007
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 3: saying these days.

1008
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like I can see myself maybe in

1009
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:44,800
Speaker 1: some leagues taking a late shot on Thomas, But it

1010
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: very much is sort of a depth ad until we

1011
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 1: see what he is. But really it's just sort of

1012
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk or kind of I don't say nothing, but yeah,

1013
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of Christian Kirk.

1014
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 2: Maybe Evan Ingram in the right situation.

1015
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 1: I just don't I'm just not sold on any of

1016
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:03,360
Speaker 1: the these pass catchers there in Jacksonville right now. Finishing

1017
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: up with the Tennessee Titans. Last year, Will Levis was

1018
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: their top scoring quarterback. They went through a number of

1019
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,400
Speaker 1: different guys. It was Ryan Tannehill at the start of

1020
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: the year, then Levis took over late one hundred and

1021
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 1: six point one points. He was QB thirty three, Dereck

1022
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: Henry the RB eight overall two hundred and forty six

1023
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,800
Speaker 1: point seven points for him, DeAndre Hopkins two hundred and

1024
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: twenty three point six points, wide receiver twenty two, and

1025
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: Chig o'conquote your top scoring tight end in Tennessee. He

1026
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: was the tight end twenty one, one hundred and thirteen

1027
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 1: point four points. The offseason, Ryan Tannehill said goodbye. Still

1028
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: a free agent right now is Tannehill. Dereck Henry obviously

1029
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 1: went to Baltimore, and wide receiver Chris Moore also left Tennessee.

1030
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: They add Galvin Ridley in free agency along with Tony

1031
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 1: Pollard and Tyler Boyd. Also signed Mason Rudolph and spent

1032
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 1: a sixth round pick on wide receiver Jakwan Jackson. First

1033
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: off the board, Covin Ridley seventy five point eight, which

1034
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,000
Speaker 1: tells you a lot about how people feel about this

1035
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: Titans off. So Floria, I'll start with you choose your fighter,

1036
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard or Taija.

1037
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 4: Spears, Uh, whichever one is cheapest, like like which right

1038
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 4: now is Spears, but it's not by much. And I'll

1039
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,320
Speaker 4: tell you straight out, I have a couple of like

1040
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 4: dabbles of Spears and of Pollard, but largely I'm not

1041
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 4: going after this backfield because they are almost identical players.

1042
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 4: And Spears last year was the more explosive runner, so

1043
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,560
Speaker 4: I'll side with him because I tend to go with

1044
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 4: the explosive side of things when it's uh, you're competing

1045
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 4: for touches because you could do.

1046
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 2: More on limited volume.

1047
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 4: But Tony Pollard was the better receiver at least statistically

1048
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 4: like metric wise, and they knew what they had in

1049
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 4: Taja Spears and still went chose to go out and

1050
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 4: literally the moment free agency started, pay Tony Pollard.

1051
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 2: And that is something that I just can't overlook. Like

1052
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 2: everyone's like, oh, they're the same thing.

1053
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 4: And Spears is the younger, more explosive version, so he's

1054
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:01,800
Speaker 4: gonna be way better and I get that thinking, but like,

1055
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard is not.

1056
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: Just simply gonna go away.

1057
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 4: And if one person does take over the line's share

1058
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,479
Speaker 4: of work, I think it'll be Pollard, not Spears, because

1059
00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 4: I just don't see Pollard going away after they paid him.

1060
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,680
Speaker 2: Which one do you like?

1061
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 3: Ok Uh, If it's Spears, it will have to be

1062
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 3: my RB three four. But I'm fading Pollard just based

1063
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 3: on the fear that you know, I don't think Spears

1064
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 3: takeover will be right out the gate. I don't want

1065
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 3: to say that, like it'll eventually grow to a point

1066
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 3: where like the touches are getting split to where it'll

1067
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,640
Speaker 3: be more annoying. So I'll be more annoyed of taking

1068
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 3: Tony Pollard as my RB one RB two, however you

1069
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 3: want to draft it, because it'll kind of be a

1070
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 3: slow burned rental here getting Tony Pollard. So I would

1071
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,479
Speaker 3: go with Spears, being that is the cheaper option.

1072
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm going with Spears because I like Spears

1073
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: last year, and you know, even frustrating as it is

1074
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: to see a guy with the exact same skill set

1075
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: come in the fact that he is slightly cheaper in drafts,

1076
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: I think still makes me in on him.

1077
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 2: But I I they do envision a scenario where maybe.

1078
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard wasn't fully healthy last year and that had

1079
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: a lot to do with why he was sort of disappointing.

1080
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,359
Speaker 2: And if he is fully healthy, will we see him

1081
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: take off?

1082
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: Because remember a couple years ago when he was still

1083
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,920
Speaker 1: the number two to Ezekiel Elliott. There, you know there

1084
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 1: was a reason we were all rejoicing when Zeke left Dallas,

1085
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: right where like this opens things up for Pollard.

1086
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 2: He's gonna be He's gonna be huge. It just never

1087
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 2: quite happened.

1088
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: But what if he just wasn't healthy and now that

1089
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: he's fully healthy, he can kind of get back to

1090
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:31,439
Speaker 1: being that explosive guy again.

1091
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 2: I think that's possible.

1092
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 4: To your point, I do think that is something that

1093
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 4: we as a fantasy community don't do a good enough

1094
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 4: Like we just assume, oh, player got hurt last year,

1095
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 4: he's healthy this year, and like Tony Pollard had a

1096
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 4: severe injury late in like January.

1097
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so playoff in the playoff game. I think, Yeah,

1098
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 2: he did.

1099
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 4: Show signs of life down the stretch from like weeks

1100
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 4: eleven on last year, so that could be the case.

1101
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 4: I continue with my point though, since this backfield started,

1102
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 4: I think this is this year's version of.

1103
00:48:58,640 --> 00:48:59,879
Speaker 3: The Steelers nice?

1104
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, but like they're both RB low end RB two's

1105
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 4: maybe RBS explosive.

1106
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 2: That's complicated.

1107
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's very possible. The other

1108
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 1: part of this is, like the Titans could be bad

1109
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: this year. How much is that going to impact things?

1110
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,320
Speaker 1: With two running backs who can do Like it's not

1111
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: like you're like, oh, yeah, they're gonna be bad to

1112
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: throw the ball so that means spears or like it

1113
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: could be either one of them, right, Like, that's gonna

1114
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: be a a big headache to figure.

1115
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:32,919
Speaker 3: Out why did they do that to themselves? I could

1116
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 3: have signed a big back and could have signed JK. Dobbins.

1117
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 3: They could have did a whole bunch of other things

1118
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 3: to where this would not be an issue.

1119
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: Not being they could have made a trade for you

1120
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,719
Speaker 1: can still make a trade for Damian Pierce, I guess,

1121
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: but I could.

1122
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 2: That would that would make things even? That would just

1123
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 2: be that would be awful right now?

1124
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,440
Speaker 1: So I had two other questions here about the Titans,

1125
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: but it feels like we sort of answered. I mean,

1126
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins dealing with a knee injury, Uh you right now?

1127
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: I know we both we all three kind of were like, eh,

1128
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 1: maybe stay away. We're all sort of into Calvin Ridley.

1129
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: We're all kind of into Will Levis, right is every

1130
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: are you guys on the Will Levis hype train right now?

1131
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 3: Yes, sir Cho Choco chokes.

1132
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 4: Just draft Ridley and draft Levis and uh, look it

1133
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 4: might I we it's not gonna be pretty. You're not

1134
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 4: gonna want to watch the Titans games, but you're gonna

1135
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 4: want to see the stats after. I think like three

1136
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 4: corners could be disgustingly bad. And then you might get

1137
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 4: like to hail Mary's to Calvin Ridley and you're like, oh,

1138
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 4: this was a great fantasy day.

1139
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a rough way to live. I'm still it's

1140
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: my favorite way to live. That is a rough, rough

1141
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: way for Sunday man. Yeah, I don't know, just one

1142
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: big play hunting what is that? There's nothing, there's some

1143
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: So it's so unremarkable right now the Texans or the

1144
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: Titans offense, right I mean, we we think Will Levis

1145
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: might develop into something. And DeAndre Hopkins is aging and

1146
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: beat up. Calvin Ridley's coming off kind of a mess

1147
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 1: season in Jacksonville. They've got two running backs that are

1148
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: kind of the same. I mean, the biggest thing to

1149
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 1: talk about with the Titans is that their running back

1150
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: is in Baltimore. Now, other than that, it's just I

1151
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: don't know, is there anything else that stands out about

1152
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 1: this team to either of you?

1153
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 4: Look good and fun in fantasy are two very The

1154
00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,000
Speaker 4: Chiefs were good last year, they were not fun. The

1155
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 4: Titans are. I believe are gonna be fun for me.

1156
00:51:26,560 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 4: Like I think we're gonna get a lot of throwing

1157
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 4: the ball. I think we're gonna get a lot of yolo.

1158
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 2: But there's a reason why Jameis Winston is one of

1159
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 2: my favorite players in the NFL. He's not great, but

1160
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,720
Speaker 2: he's never boring. And that's what I think Will Levis

1161
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 2: and the Titans will be. All right, that's fair, that's that's.

1162
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 3: A lot of big throws that I'm expecting, Like it's

1163
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 3: gonna have you on the edge of you see, and

1164
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 3: like is he going to catch it? Like that's how

1165
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 3: long the ball is kind of hang in the air,

1166
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:50,600
Speaker 3: like I'm ready for it?

1167
00:51:51,040 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 2: All right. I guess that's sort of there's something. There's

1168
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 2: something there to watch, Like I'd much rather be the

1169
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:01,919
Speaker 2: Titans than say, who's like a bad boring team, the Saints. Yeah,

1170
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 2: oh my god. This the worst place you could be

1171
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 2: is being like seven to nine every year.

1172
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,160
Speaker 3: Like, how have we not talked about chrys adp yet?

1173
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 2: I am. We'll get there. Here's it. We'll get there

Speaker 1: on a lack of sleep, so he'll just come off

1180
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 1: of a morning very very He's gonna be grouchy and

1181
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: tired and have a bone to pick with the Chris

1182
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 1: olaves A DP. He's got a lot of problems with

Speaker 1: you people. He's gonna let you hear about it. Uh

1184
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:44,880

1196
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't remember what movie it is.

1197
