Speaker 1: I used to have that, to have that, yeah, man,

29
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: I used to I think it was it was a

30
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: ken Wood. Yeah. I've always been behind the curve on

31
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: a lot of things. Uh, in car stereos, always something

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: I've been behind the curve on. You know, they say

33
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: there's like the earlier there's the innovator who's like the

34
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: first guy that has to have something. He's a guy

35
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: had Xbox three sixty before it was even released on

36
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: the market. Then you have the early adopter who you know,

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: who's like that top two to five percent who got

38
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: it the day they wait in line for user illusion,

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing, right right, Then you

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: have the rest of the pack, you know, then you

41
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: have the late adopter who's like the bottom. And then

42
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: you have the guy who's just totally still listen to

43
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,679
Speaker 1: eight tracks Almond Brothers Live from Budapest and stuff. You

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: do have an eight track player in your in your chief.

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: I don't. But my dad had a nineteen eight or

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: eighty one Honda goal Wing bike, which those things were big.

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: They're big and heavy. They had an eight track player

48
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: and when I was three, we fell over on it.

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: It was great, but it was great, but you know,

50
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: you're three years old. I still remember this. You know,

51
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: you're three years old. You think it's the coolest thing ever.

52
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: Scared the you know, crap out of my dad, who

53
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: caught me. We we we pulled up to a light

54
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: and it was a little bit of a gravel you know,

55
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: when you have a road and there's gravel next to it,

56
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: and some of the gravel kind of spills out onto

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: the road from maybe when a car pealed out or something.

58
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 1: There was a little too much apple on the asphalts.

59
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: When my dad went to slow down at about ten

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: miles an hour, the bike slipped and on a goal wings. Man,

61
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: they're heavy. You don't you don't, you know, just pick

62
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,839
Speaker 1: one of those suckers up. So my dad falled off,

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: but as or fell off, it falled off. But as

64
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: he fell off, he caught me with one arm. I mean,

65
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: talk about could you imagine how much in trouble my

66
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: dad would get to do now or or a guy

67
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: would get into now if he had his three year

68
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: old son on a a lot different uh situations, kind

69
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: of like offensive football. We saw an absolute explosion in

70
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: the wild card game between the Saints and Lions. That's

71
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: not something you saw in the late seventies and early eighties.

72
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: I mean it seems like now these guys, I mean

73
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: Stafford and Breeze Is numbers in that game were sick.

74
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: And you know, in regards to the playoff challenges that

75
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: we've been talking about on NFL dot com, I'll tell

76
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: you what if you took Drew Brees, you're sitting pretty

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: right now. I said last week that I was gonna

78
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,119
Speaker 1: be writing the Saints all the way to the Super Bowl.

79
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: I thought they were the team to beat, and Week

80
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 1: one pretty good production. I got thirty points from Breeze,

81
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: twenty points from Sprolls, twelve from Marcus Colston. Not a

82
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: huge game from Colson. Statistically in a fantasy perspective because

83
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: it's not PPR, it's standards, So you only got the

84
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: twelve points for his over a hundred yards receiving. Calvin

85
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: was a great play because Okay, they lost, so you

86
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: can't get points from him going forward obviously, but thirty

87
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: three points in the first round is phenomenal. Jimmy Graham

88
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: had e living points in that contest. John Casey had nine,

89
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: where my Fantasy Playoff Challenge line up sort of took

90
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: a kick in the fantasy junk. I guess he could say,

91
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: is the Steelers defense negative two points from the Steelers

92
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: defense which had so so this week I've got to

93
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: replace Calvin and I'm playing West Welker. We'll get into that,

94
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: uh And I also am gonna play the Ravens defense

95
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: this week against the rookie quarterback in Baltimore. And to

96
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: talk about more about these playoff matchups in the division around,

97
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: we're gonna have Eat Evans, former great full back from

98
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints among his team's coming about twelve

99
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: thirty and we're gonna get out of insight from him.

100
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: And we're also going to be taking your calls at

101
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: XM Fantasy nine six three two, six eight two and

102
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: l we already have a caller, Brian and something talk

103
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: about the NFL Fantasy Playoff challenge. What's up, Brian? You

104
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: just hit to hit it right on the play? Uh.

105
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: I rolled with Stafford and Colvin Johnson, but then I

106
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: stacked my line up with the rest of the Saints

107
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: on the slim chance maybe the Lions beat the Saints.

108
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: But then I also have Ray Rice in the Ravens.

109
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: I have to replace my quarterback. I'm sitting in eighth

110
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: place right now. I got about a hundred and twenty

111
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: five points. I had Spralls and in Colston, and I

112
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: had Casey. But I don't know if do I jump

113
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: on the briefe man like now or do what it?

114
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't put like Tom Brady and I don't know,

115
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: get Crady and maybe Thomas in a whiteout spot. I mean,

116
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: what do you guys think going for going forward? What

117
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: is my best player to get the maximum amount of

118
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: multiply points? How many guys are you playing against? Uh?

119
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: There are forty nine guys in my league. Actually, Uh,

120
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: Tonyson comm some of his people were Adam Roundness, isn't it?

121
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: It's kind of competitive it's very cool, pretty good. Let

122
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: those guys are all in there. Well. The reason I

123
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: asked is because if if it were me, I would

124
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: look in the league and look at a couple of

125
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: teams that I think have the best shot. If they're

126
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: all rolling with Breese, I'd get Brady. I would differentiate

127
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: myself somewhere. Either pick up Rogers, pick up Brady. I'm saying,

128
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: if they're going with Breeze. That's how I like to

129
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: play these kind of things that if you're behind, and

130
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: whether it's regular fantasy football or playoff challenge, if you're

131
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: behind somebody else, you've got to differentiate yourself somewhere because

132
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: if you just grab the same guy as they do,

133
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: then basically you're not only rooting for your own success,

134
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: but you're rooting for their success too. So at some

135
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: point you gotta break with what other people are doing

136
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,840
Speaker 1: to me. Listen, and I said this week one of

137
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 1: the postseason, I'm rolling with the Saints. I have Breeze, Sprawls, Colston, Graham,

138
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: Casey all going for me. I would have started the

139
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: Saints defense, and then I had to change your heart.

140
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: Now went with the Steelers, which is a complete disaster.

141
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: Believe it or not, the Texans defense scored the most

142
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy points last week, uh at twenty five, which was

143
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: which was a great total and a total you didn't

144
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: expect to get from the Texans. So listen, the way

145
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: that you have to enter this game is you've really

146
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: got to pick a team. This is the team I

147
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: think is gonna roll all the way to Indianapolis this year,

148
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: and for me, it's the Saints. If everyone's playing Breeze,

149
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: I think l makes a point with trying to differentiate

150
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: yourself because you want to sort of make up some ground,

151
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: make up ground with a few different positions. For me,

152
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't have a lot of decisions to

153
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: make because all my guys advanced except four again Calvin

154
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: and the Steelers. So I'm rolling with Welker because I

155
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: think Lker has the easiest road to the conference championship. Uh. Listen,

156
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: I've been on Tim Tebow all year. He scored thirty

157
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy points last week, thirty against the Steelers, and this

158
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: guy had struggled for a while, two or three weeks

159
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: in a row. And even even I, who am a

160
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: self proclaimed Tebow fan when it comes to Fantasy had

161
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: I was a little bit worried about the played against him.

162
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 1: That's why I played against him, and clearly he burned me.

163
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing that he threw for three and sixteen

164
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: yards on three six average one point six just to

165
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: hold John three sixteen. It's just amazing how that thing happens. Um,

166
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: But I think that they're gonna have a hard time

167
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: in New England. And listen to Marius Thomas. If you

168
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: want to have a guy with a great matchup who's

169
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: a likely one and done candidate, you just can't play

170
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy playoff challenge like that. You have to

171
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 1: go with a wide receiver as a replacement here that

172
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: you think is going to at least win one game

173
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 1: so you have the opportunity to get double points in

174
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: the Mine Friends Championship, Brown Elliott, let's stay with the

175
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: phones here. If Chad and tennessee, who has a question

176
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks? What's going on? Chad's good? How are y'all

177
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: doing good? Listen, I'm in the A. I made the

178
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: playoffs and it's in one of these national salary cap deals,

179
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: and uh, I'm in a bit of a buyd because

180
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: I had the Steelers defense as well, and they really,

181
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 1: you know, paid good money for him in the salary

182
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: cap and that didn't work out. But here's my question.

183
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: We get to replace you know, our holy I mean,

184
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 1: we can replace our whole lineup. We draft. It's a ppruh.

185
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 1: We draft, you know, a quarterback, three running backs, three

186
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers, which can include a tight end, a defense, um,

187
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 1: you know, a kicker, and a flex. But they changed that.

188
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: Of course, they change the the salaries after the season.

189
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: So I mean, you can't have Drew Brees now and

190
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: you know, like an Eli Manning. I mean, you won't

191
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: come into salary cap. There's no way. My question is

192
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: I fell behind because of the Stilor's defense. I'm twenty

193
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: three behind. I can change my whole lineup, and then

194
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: after that when you pick, you and you gotta so

195
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: you gotta stick with what you got after that. My

196
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: question is I want to go with somebody like Aaron Rodgers,

197
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: somebody I know who's probably gonna put you know, twenty

198
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,839
Speaker 1: five up there or Drew Brees thirty. But I'm twenty

199
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: three back because the Steelers defense. And this is the

200
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: way I've got eight teams to choose from. Would you

201
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: go with standard plays and just hang in there, or

202
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: would do you think if I'm gonna win this thing,

203
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: I need to go ahead and take a chance on

204
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: like an Eli uh you know, because again I don't

205
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: have to keep them all the way the super Bowl.

206
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,959
Speaker 1: This is still a week I can replace next week

207
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: for one more time. How do I make up ground here?

208
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 1: What would y'all suggest on on an Eli Manning having

209
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: a great day and and then you know, then suddenly

210
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 1: and after that or over one game that could get

211
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: me that twenty three that maybe everybody else is not

212
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: gonna go with. Right, Well, I'm I'm gonna get to that.

213
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to know if that was electronics. Simon says

214
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: that was playing behind you when you were asking, I

215
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 1: heard something coming from your some beeping, some beeping. Oh

216
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm completely blind, and that's my talking computer. I let

217
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: me know I was getting an email coming in so

218
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: very well, I'm a fan of Ballastar Galactica to uh

219
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: so Eli Manning, I think is an interesting play because

220
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: again we just had a caller, and I don't know

221
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: if you were able to catch what we told Brian

222
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: to believe his name was. But basically taking a risk

223
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,599
Speaker 1: you've got to make up some ground. And if you

224
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: play the same guys which you mentioned in your question,

225
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: you play the same guys that everybody else does, you're

226
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to make up that ground. Uh.

227
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: A great example was late in the year FABS and

228
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: I got a question on should I play to Marius

229
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: Thomas or Tony Gonzalez, And Tony Gonzalez had a nice matchup,

230
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: and I told him to play to Marius Thomas because

231
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: Tony Gonzalez was probably guaranteed to give you eight points.

232
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: De Marius Thomas was capable of giving you two points

233
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: or a twenty point game. And if this caller had

234
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: to make up some grounds, so I said, don't play

235
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: the conservative guy. Played to Marius Thomas because he could

236
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: explode for you. Same deal with the playoff challenge. Right now,

237
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: you've got to make up ground. You've got to pick

238
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: up somebody who's different than your opponents are. Most of

239
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: your opponents are playing who can have a huge game.

240
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: I think Eli is that guy because Green Bay can

241
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: certainly give it up. Green Bay rank thirty second in

242
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: the NFL, and defense their strength is in takeaways. If

243
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: Eli doesn't throw the pics, you could be looking at

244
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: a three fifty three touchdown performance. And this is where

245
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: fantasy football in a traditional sense is much different than

246
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: the NFL playoff challenge because you've got really good matchups

247
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: for some quarterbacks like Eli for example, right Tebow and

248
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense stinks at one. But in our game,

249
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: if you lose, you lose the opportunity to get the

250
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: double points. If you're just looking for point production. Listen,

251
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: Eli can go easily go for three and three touchdowns

252
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: against the Packers. That could be an absolute shootout. Tebow

253
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: can absolutely score twenty five fantasy points against the Patriots

254
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: again because their defense is just rotten. It's been rotting

255
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: all year long. So in that case, again, I agree

256
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: with Elliott. I think it makes sense to try and

257
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,319
Speaker 1: maybe play some of these odd ball I guess you

258
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 1: can say starts because maybe their teams aren't gonna advance,

259
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 1: but that's not going to really hurt you in this case.

260
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 1: And now, now don't go buck wild and start Alex Smith.

261
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: Don't do that. Please don't do that. Do that. But

262
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,839
Speaker 1: that's something that the Damerius Thomas Tony Gonzalez call that

263
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: we got late in the year. It was it was

264
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: a good example because I really feel like in fantasy football,

265
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: you have to look at what your opponents doing that week.

266
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 1: You know who he's got playing. I know you like

267
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: to go pick up guys on the waiver wire that

268
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: so that your opponent can't pick him up. But one

269
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: of the things that I look at as how close

270
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: are these teams? You know, if I'm debating two guys

271
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: to start on Monday Night Football, for example, I've got

272
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: two options do I I Well, I look to see

273
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: how many points behind, and I from the other guy.

274
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: If I'm not that many points behind, I'm playing the

275
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: conservative guy that I know will get me my seven

276
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: eight points. Okay, if you're way behind, then you gotta

277
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: go with someone sometimes like a Pierre Garson who maybe

278
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,559
Speaker 1: blank one week and then get you two touchdowns in

279
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty yards receiving the next. And also

280
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: keep in mind too, again with our game on NFL

281
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: dot Com, the points are going to be made up

282
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: in these next few rounds for my team. I had

283
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: that d thirteen points, which was probably middle of the road.

284
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 1: But I've got what I think six guys going for

285
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: double points this week, and if the Saints win I've

286
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: got five guys going for triple points in the conference

287
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: championship roun, which is when you make up points. So

288
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: in the case of our game, if you didn't have

289
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: a monster week and you still have some guys left

290
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: over who can double up this week and maybe triple

291
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 1: your points in conference championship week, uh, then I think

292
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: you're doing well. One last thing here that I want

293
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: to talk about here, because I'm sure we're gonna have

294
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,160
Speaker 1: to go to a break here at some point. How

295
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: could is the Marius Thomas gonna be next season? I think, Ellott,

296
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: this is the wide receiver to draft out of a

297
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: class of white outs that's sort of expanded this year

298
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: with the with the the emergence of a Victor Cruz

299
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: guys like that. Um, and we can talk about this

300
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: more after the break, But to Marius Thomas, to me,

301
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: has got yard potential, double digit touchdown potential. And if

302
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: you're in deep keeper leagues, this is a kid that

303
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: I'd watched man because he looks good, he's big, he's physical,

304
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: and oh, by the way, it doesn't matter that Tim

305
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: Tebow is throwing on the football because listen, we know

306
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: Tebow is not the greatest in the world in terms

307
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: of throwing the ball. But they have a report, but

308

Speaker 1: to here right now. It just sounds like there's a

327
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: little bit of scynth in there. And I know that

328
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: Eddie loves the synthesizer, but dude, I mean, come on, man,

329
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 1: it's it's look. I love Boston too, you know, I

330
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: love Boston more than a feeling all day long, you know,

331
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: peace of mind. But the scynth went out with Boston. Man.

332
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, I listened to Saga for one year, but

333
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: the Scynth went out in I listened to it the

334
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: first time. I was like, yeah, I just love Eddie

335
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: van Halen's man guitar riffs just so much that anything

336
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: that van Halen does I can't kill completely. But did

337
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: you watch on YouTube that special show they did. I

338
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: don't even know where it was. I think it might

339
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: have been in New York or you see or something

340
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: like that. And boy, David Lee Roth talked about becoming

341
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: an E M T for like fifteen minutes, and you

342
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: see Eddie van Halen in the corner looking at us.

343
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: Watch because David Le Roths wont to shut the hell up.

344
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: It was pretty David Lee Roth clearly hasn't changed. But

345
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: I feel like we should define something though for our

346
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: P A slash a P slash. I'm not sure. Michael

347
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: looked like, you know our mini truck mustache. Mike Kendell,

348
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: who helps us here on the radio show from the

349
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: podcast studios at NFL Network, Mike sent me and synthesizer.

350
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: It's a keyboard, okay, and you might have heard it

351
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: in songs like Turn Me Loose by LeVert. Well, now

352
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know that one either, never mind told you

353
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: about him. Keep the Faith by bon Jovi. Maybe you

354
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: would know that it has a little bit of synth background. Now,

355
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: of course, I'm kind of outing myself that I could

356
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: just rattle off the Yeah, well, everybody knows that you

357
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: like lamb bands. It's fine. We take our calls, embrace it. Yeah,

358
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: let's let's take our callers, because we got Heath Evans

359
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: coming up on the other side of our break. He's

360
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 1: a big New York he does he's the best. He's

361
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: been doing the shake way. I didn't want to say

362
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: anything in the makeup room. He's been doing the shakes.

363
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mess with Heath Man. He's a big boy.

364
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: David New York question about Andre Johnson. What's up? Dave question?

365
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 1: And then a keeper question based on what you say,

366
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson's hammy issues are more cause of the lockout

367
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 1: or more couses on the wrong side of thirty. Wow,

368
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: that's an excellent question. It's pure speculation on my you know, uh,

369
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: from my trade of thought. But I'll say this, Uh,

370
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: hamstring issues are gonna come up with any veteran player,

371
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: anybody on Uh. There we go NFL Fancy Live. We're

372
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: here every Wednesday, twelve o'clock Pacific. And you probably notice

373
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: that we went to an abrupt commercial break because we

374
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: had a little technical issue. We had Dave on the

375
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: line who wanted to know about Andre Johnson and and

376
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: keep do we have Dave still on the line? Possibly maybe, Hey, Dave,

377
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: sorry about that. So your question was very good about

378
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson. And here's what happened. So we have Heath Evans,

379
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,959
Speaker 1: who was waiting on the other side of our studio

380
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: to come on the show. He decides to chime in

381
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: and tell me that I don't know Diddley poo about

382
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: hand did not use the word yeah about hamstring issues.

383
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 1: And so when when he when he hit the button,

384
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: he basically shut us off. And you know, it had

385
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: to be like those meetings where he's like, hey, guys,

386
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 1: I can I can run a wheel route on this

387
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: team and it's completely blows up his assignment anyway, So

388
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: he go ahead, tell me, tell me where you are,

389
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: tell our car what you think about Andre Johnson's hamstring Well,

390
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: I mean hamstrings in general, folks. I mean these are

391
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: I don't want to say they're simple. But for so

392
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: long we thought, oh, it's it's over exhaustion, it's fatigue,

393
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: and yes, some of those things could play into it.

394
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: But ultimately where we've come in the last couple of

395
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: years is hamstrings issues are basically caused by your hips

396
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: being out of alignment. So one is pulling and tugging

397
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: harder than the others, your hips kind of get pulled

398
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,400
Speaker 1: funding then ultimately you just over your pre exhaust hamstring

399
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: and then you ultimately end up popping it. So and

400
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 1: they come in different degrees. But what we've kind of

401
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: found through, you know, the athletic training world, is if

402
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: you can really balance out your hips daily through either

403
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: massage techniques or a r T, which is something called

404
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: active release technique, which allows your hips to stay in

405
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: place the way they're supposed to be, which makes your

406
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: quads and your VMO and your hip flexers and your

407
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: hamstrings all fire in perfect order. That's really the key

408
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: to hamstring health. But you know, you look at Andre Johnson.

409
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: His hamstrings looked like a horses hamstring. I mean, the

410
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: guys are freak of nature. So injuries are gonna come

411
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: when you're that big and you're that fast and you're

412
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: that lane. I think ultimately it's just kind of part

413
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 1: of the equation. And you had a second question, did

414
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: you not Dave right? Based off of that? I want

415
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: to know I'm already gonna have keeping Kavin Johnson and

416
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: says Bryant. Should I lose my number one pick for

417
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson? Or should I take a roying a lou

418
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: and get a running back at a last round value

419
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: in a PPR? Wow? What do you think, fabs? So

420
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: you lose a first rounder for a j first rounder

421
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: for and it's a pprly r? How many how many teams? Twelve?

422
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: Twelve team league first rounders? A steep price for Andre Johnson.

423
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: It's a steep price for Andre Johnson who has missed

424
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: better part of this past season, and he missed three

425
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: games last year and going into his tenth season. Where

426
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: is your draft position in round one? Uh? Hasn't been

427
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: determined yet, but it's probably gonna be somewhere in the middle.

428
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I guess, I guess i'd

429
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: keep Aloof for that last round pick. But we all

430
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 1: know about Mike Shannahan and he hates our fantasy You know,

431
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. The running backs situation in Washington

432
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: is always a major headache. So with your feet to

433
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: the fire, what would you do Andre for for giving

434
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: up a first rounder for Andre? Though, even in the

435
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: PPR league, you know, I probably do it because I'm

436
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: not keeping Royhaloo. I'm not keeping royhalou keven for even

437
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: for a last round, late round pick, because Evan Royster

438
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 1: could end up being the freaking stunt that's right back

439
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: for the Redskins next year. We have no idea, you know.

440
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 1: And my Tower are still in the mix too, even

441
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 1: though he's coming off in a c L. And by

442
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: the way, this was a highly technical fantasy call here.

443
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: He I mean a lot of that was super This

444
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: seems like you have to kind of like marinate on

445
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: it a little bit. I don't Johnson is not worth

446
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: a first round pick coming up in fantasy leagues, even

447
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: into PPR lead, because you have to think who can

448
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: you get with even if you're a twelve team league,

449
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: who could you get with the fifth or sixth overall pick?

450
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: Hence the silence. I was lost after the hamstring out question.

451
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 1: But you know with the fifth or sixth overall pick,

452
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: you could get a Ray Rice. Not in the keeper league,

453
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna get kept. Well, I'm saying it in in general.

454
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: I was trying to look, he just blew up our

455
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: radio show. I was trying to like dummy it down,

456
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: you know, to just dumb it down for the fullback. Actually,

457
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: there is no dummying down with you because you really

458
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: understand the nuances of the game. I do want to

459
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: defend myself though that as a lacrosse player. I know

460
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: NFL players think that lacrosse is like this was sport,

461
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: But we do just you do with less pads and

462
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: you've got a whole heck of a lot more running.

463
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: That's why I never played these short, stubby legs. Weren't

464
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: it for lacrosse. I'll tell you that. I'll tell you

465
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: one thing. You can't see Heath in here, but he's

466
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: a big boy. Yeah he's he's a big boy. That's

467
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: a big boy. If I ain't ready the bodyguard, I'm

468
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:09,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it in a call in my boy

469
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: heath there absolutely correct about first of all, your lower back,

470
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: your hips, your hamstring. It's not all a bunch of

471
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: isolated parts and everything works together on your body. And

472
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: as someone who has hip displaytion, my I've had to

473
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: deal with. I had the the opposite. I had tight

474
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: hamstrings affecting my hip function. Okay, so it goes both ways.

475
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: And and the point is is that these professional athletes,

476
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: some guys are a little bit better, a little bit

477
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: more savvy about taking care of their entire body. That

478
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: includes core work. Uh, that includes yoga and plots. And

479
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: you know, some people think yoga's for the birds. That's fine,

480
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 1: but there are a lot of NFL players that that

481
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: practice yoga and it's lengthen their career. It saves you

482
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: in the off season. Yeah, all the tightness, all the

483
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: wear and tear, the fatigue factor you get in those

484
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: hot yoga rooms, stretch out, open up your hips, your joints.

485
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: Telling you it added years to my career for sure. Well,

486
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: speaking of fatigue, we're gonna hit you up. We've gotta

487
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: take a break but we want to hit you up

488
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: about these playoff matchups and I I really want to

489
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: know what you think about the forty defense being able

490
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: to keep up with that track meat of a New

491
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: Orleans offense and get some fantasy spend as well. FABS,

492
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: what do you think? Absolutely, Uh, We're actually not going

493
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: to break. We're not going to break because we had

494
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: the Heath because he ran the wheeler out on one thing. Check.

495
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: One thing that I want to talk to Heath about though,

496
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: before we get into the place the postseason matchups is

497
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: so many guys Heath coming off of knee injuries. The

498
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: ship and at the running back position, especially in fantasy football,

499
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: that's that's been the big position for years and years,

500
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: and now it's sort of becoming uh more towards quarterbacks

501
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: because of the way that the league has changed and

502
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: the rules and that kind of thing. But you're looking

503
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: at Adrian Peterson coming off of a late season a

504
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,719
Speaker 1: c L. The same with Richard Meanten Hall Jamal Charles,

505
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: who I tweeted earlier this week and he told me

506
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: that he thinks he's gonna come back stronger and faster,

507
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: but he hurt himself earlier in the season. I believe

508
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: it was was it week one or week two? The

509
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: time advantage on AP and some of the other guys.

510
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: So here's the thing, um, what sort of percentage do

511
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: you think these guys are gonna come back at a

512
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: d and menning Hall, especially because their their injuries were

513
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: so late in the season. Our fantasy owners going to

514
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: be uh seeing these guys maybe start the season on

515
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: p U P or there's all of the medical advances

516
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 1: that we have with surgery and everything else can allow

517
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: these guys they have back on the field, and if

518
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 1: they do it on the field of week one, how

519
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: effective would they be? Well, there's so many different kind

520
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: of like integral parts of this. You know. For me,

521
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: in my a c L, I also had major meniscus damage,

522
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: so I had the micro fracture, you know, So I

523
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: had a lot of different things, and plus I was

524
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 1: thirty plus one one mind happened. So you look at

525
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: the the age benefit that these guys have, they just

526
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: heal faster. You look at a Wes Welker, That's what

527
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: ultimately you would expect out of these running backs their

528
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: younger years, uh, their workout warriors, all these guys. You

529
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: look at their bodies. They're they're built to recover from

530
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: something like so I think honestly, even for AP and

531
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: his and it's different. Doctors will will vary on on

532
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: their expertise in the sense of, Okay, hey, was it

533
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: a non contact injury like Wes Welker's was a few

534
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: years ago at Houston, or was it a contact injury

535
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: like ap S was a few weeks ago. I don't

536
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: know how much of a different it makes. You know,

537
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things. Even we're talking about the hamstring.

538
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: You know, people talk about a c L issues. Now

539
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, the quad not firing or being quad dominant

540
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: not hamstring dominant. So there's just so many different things

541
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: out there that really affect your recovery. But ultimately it

542
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: comes down to work ethic. Um. You know Dr Andrews,

543
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: the world renowned orthopedic, would tell you, yeah, listen, there

544
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: are better doctors, But it ultimately comes down to how

545
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 1: much work are you willing to put in and can

546
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: you handle the pain? Toller instead it takes to recover

547
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: successfully from that a c L. You look around the league,

548
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Mendenhall, ap, these guys are tough, tough guys.

549
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: They'll get it done. They love this business, they love

550
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: this game, and they know what they're chasing. So I

551
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: would suspect six seven month mark for those guys as

552
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: long as there wasn't major meniscus issues. That meniscus joint

553
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 1: line issue is really what's set me back for a while.

554
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: That that pain and just the the inflammation and swelling

555
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: day to day they have to deal with. Uh, it was.

556
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: It was a bear. The interesting thing to me about it, Heath,

557
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: is that you know, when I was a kid, like

558
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks had a tale about Kurt Warner, who was awesome,

559
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: tore his knee up. He missed that whole year, and

560
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: then next year he was slower. The guys recovered slower

561
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: back then because medical procedures were as good. Physical therapy

562
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: wasn't as good. However, back then, most knee injuries got

563
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 1: caused by all the stadiums having astroturfers. They don't have now,

564
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: And I wonder how much of the year round weight

565
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: training is causing injuries. Guys get too big for their frames.

566
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,159
Speaker 1: Guys don't give their bodies a rest. That was one

567
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: of the advantage. Guys in the seventies and early eighties

568
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: had They didn't do this in the off season. They

569
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: were working at a grocery store exactly, so their body

570
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: got months to recuperate, and then they might start working

571
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 1: out a few weeks before training camp, and then when

572
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: training camp came, they had been working out for a

573
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 1: few weeks, but they've had months of rest. How much

574
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: do you think that's causing these I think it has

575
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: a lot to do with it. It is that balance

576
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,120
Speaker 1: the power. I mean, when I first got to Seattle,

577
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, I played special teams the majority of my

578
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: first my rookie year, and I'm talking to Chad Brown

579
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: and Levon Kirkland and John Randall and Ricky Waters. Hey,

580
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: how much time do I take off and those guys

581
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 1: at their their stage in the career. Hey, listen, you

582
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 1: know until late March early April. You don't need to

583
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: touch away. Go find a yoga class, you know, do

584
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: go to the beach, just hang out, let your body

585
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: just chill out and completely recover. And for me being

586
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: the guy that knew I kind of got into the league. Yeah,

587
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 1: I was the third roundraft pick, but I knew I

588
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: was blessed to be there. I wasn't the most talented

589
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: and I had to outwork everybody. I was constantly teeter

590
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: tottering on that line of that that overworking and over

591
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: training and so did that have something to do with

592
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: my injury? Yeah? I I don't know. No one has

593
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: a crystal ball, but ultimately, guys have to be very,

594
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: very smart and not doing what I did for the

595
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: majority of my career. I mean even my college coaches,

596
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 1: they used to drive them nuts because we'd hit a

597
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: workout and then I'd go find the gold gym and

598
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: all Ronal Obama and they'd be wanting to pull their

599
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: hair out because they knew I was damaging my body,

600
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: you know. So, um, it is that fine line of

601
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: of resting but preparing at the same time. Yeah, let's

602
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: move on to the playoffs here. We know, uh that

603
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: I believe you're involved in our NFL playoff challenge, or

604
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: at least I was trying to help on that. Yeah.

605
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: So really, that NFL playoff challenge is so much different

606
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: than traditional fantasy football because in traditional fantasy it's all

607
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: about value and points and that kind of thing where

608
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: there's value and points. Here, it also has a lot

609
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: to do with who's going to win. So who were

610
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: your two super Bowl teams heading into the postseason, are

611
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: they still alive? And what are you expecting from this weekend? Well,

612
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: I mean at the start of the season, it's funny,

613
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, call me home or whatever I pick on

614
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: base what I know? You know, teams that have played

615
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: against the characteristics of their coaching staff all those things.

616
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: And so obviously Saints and Patriots were my two teams

617
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: at the start of the year. You know, I knew, uh,

618
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: Bill ha gotten a lot of things corrected in the

619
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: off season there. I thought the defense would be a

620
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: little bit better than what it is, But ultimately, when

621
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: you've got twelve under center, you've got a chance. UM.

622
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: In New Orleans, I saw the emphasis put on the

623
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: run game again through the draft um off season, and

624
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: I knew that if health wasn't an issue, these two

625
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: teams were gonna be in the mix. And the Saints

626
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: I think they're the best team in the NFC right

627
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: now because they run the ball. People oh, Drew Brees

628
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: and yeah, Greg Williams and Blitz is crazy, But really

629
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: it's because they're running the ball, they're balanced, um, and

630
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: they're capable of beating anybody right now. So would you

631
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: agree with this statement, defense and running the football effectively

632
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: no longer win championships in the NFL. It's all about

633
00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: the offense and the quarterback. Um. I don't agree with that.

634
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Um I I think that the missing link.

635
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: You know, if I was gonna back one of my

636
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: teams out of the Super Bowl, I'd backed the Patriots out.

637
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean, let's go back to Broncos Patriots a few

638
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Three turnovers for Denver, none for New England.

639
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:44,719
Speaker 1: Three films. That's a different game. You know, if Tebow

640
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 1: and the Broncos are playing what's been successful and their

641
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: seven wins with him as their starter, which is just

642
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 1: holding onto the ball. They haven't wowed anybody, even the

643
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: overtime you know shot play the other day. It wasn't

644
00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: some wow play, great throw, great catch, a lot of speed,

645
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: but really they just didn't turn the ball over in

646
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: that game and it gave them a che has to beat. Really,

647
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: what is a better football team? You know, yes, Pittsburgh

648
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 1: at injuries, but ultimately I think what the Niners have done.

649
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: Do they have to get a little better on offense, Yes,

650
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna see that this week. But

651
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 1: do I think this game is gonna be the blowout

652
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 1: that everyone thinks it's gonna be. No, I don't think

653
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: that at all. Um. I do think the Saints need

654
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: to be very careful, um and not trying to beat

655
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: their head against a brick wall in a movable brick wall,

656
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: which is that run defense. So, um, it's gonna be interesting.

657
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 1: But that day and age, I mean, you think about oh,

658
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: three Panthers, John Fox, this Broncos team under Tim Tebow

659
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 1: highly similar, similar, great special teams, great defense, They run

660
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 1: the ball with the best of them. And I firmly

661
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: believe that just Jake Delone was a very good quarterback

662
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: for a long time. But I truly believe that if

663
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: you give Tim Tim Tebow the time to continue to grow,

664
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: a real offseason, um, a real growth plan for a quarterback,

665
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 1: this guy's gonna outwork everybody. He's gonna get it, he's

666
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: gonna get better, and then you're always gonna have to

667
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: worry about this kid's legs. Well, he you're you're so

668
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: speaking my language right now, because the two thousand three

669
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,719
Speaker 1: Panthers is in excellent, excellent example. I mean, they had

670
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: to Shaun Foster and Stephen Davis had likes rushing, and

671
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: then Jake Delone was so effective off of the play

672
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: actually to Mooson Mohammed and Steve Smith and killed the

673
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: Patriots in the Super Bowl in the second half who

674
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: were playing run defense so much. And the Denver New

675
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: England game that you reference from week seventeen, Denver went

676
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: right down the field the first possession of the game

677
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown Tim Tebow, and every Patriot fan was

678
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: scared to death because Tim broke like six tackles on

679
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: that first He's gonna do it again, that's right. Listen

680
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: to this stat line. Twelve carries, ninety three yards and

681
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: two touchdowns for Tim Tebow running the football. But they

682
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: had the three fumbles. I think lance Ball fumbled one.

683
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: I think Deebo himself fumbled one. And that was a

684
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: different game. When I wrote the playoff previous for NFL

685
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: dot Com this week, I said, hey, Bill Belichick can't

686
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: hang his hat on them getting those three turnovers again.

687
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: They can't let Tebow get out. So if you think

688
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: about right before the half, Quon cross but he fumbles

689
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: the punt, and then that's really kind of just it

690
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: just took the wind out of their sales. And you're like, man,

691
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: we had just two turnover, three turnovers in the first half,

692
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: and that was you can't give Brady three extra possessions.

693
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: You can't give him one extra possession. So when we're

694
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: talking about defenses, we're talking about the ability not to

695
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: stop the opponent, but to turn the opponent over. Right,

696
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: because if you look at the bottom five or six

697
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: defenses in the league. Here in the regular season, both

698
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 1: the number one seeds in each conference, the Packers thirty two,

699
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: the same the Patriots thirty one, The Giants are twenty

700
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: seven to Saints or twenty four. All those teams are

701
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: still alive. Steelers were one, there, one and done. Houston

702
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: still in. I don't know if they got a chance

703
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: to win this week. The Ravens are three, the Niners

704
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: are four, but most people think the Niners are gonna

705
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: get knocked out by the team with the worst defense

706
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: and a far superior offense. So we're talking about turning

707
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: the ball over, making plays because the Patriots and the

708
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: Packers and maybe we're all in agreement here, they're not

709
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: stopping their opponents from scoring points. They are going to

710
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: make out and they're just they're not giving up as

711
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: many points as people would think they would. You look

712
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: at a a thirty two rating for the Green Bay

713
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: and thirty one on rating on defense Patriots. But you

714
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: at points per game both of those teams, I think

715
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: thirteen and fourteen and those final NFL stats, and so

716
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: you talk about points per game, that's ultimately all that matters.

717
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: So Bill Belichick, even with the Rabels and the Harrisons

718
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: and the Bruce Keys and and the Seymours, they were

719
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: always a bend. But don't break defense. We're not gonna

720
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: make mistakes. We're gonna give you u small yardage. We're

721
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: not gonna give up the chunk yardage. But bottom line

722
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 1: is we trust our discipline over your discipline. You'll make

723
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:28,240
Speaker 1: a mistake, you'll have a flaw before we have a flaw.

724
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: And ultimately, that is the type of defense that that

725
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: we played in New Orleans in our championship run. The

726
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: championship runs in New England as a part of same thing.

727
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: And so listen, we get caught up, oh the rating

728
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: and blah blah blah. Well, Greg Williams frustrates the heck

729
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: out of quarterback with his blitz game and the schemes

730
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: and the multiple coverages and everything else. They don't give

731
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: up a lot of points. And that's ultimately the same

732
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: thing that Green Bay, um And and New England have

733
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: going for them as well. If you can't score, you

734
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: can't beat these teams. And I just looked at New

735
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: England's fifteenth and points allowed, and you know, look, you

736
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 1: can give up fifty yards. Once you get to the fifteen.

737
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: The field becomes much right order. So it's a much

738
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 1: harder deal trying to hit that deep out or trying

739
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: to hit that nine route when you've got the in line.

740
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: And that's where you're great coaching comes into play because

741
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,200
Speaker 1: red zone defense, red zone offense is so much scheme related.

742
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: That's why I pray Sean Payton, because I sat in

743
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: those meetings for years, going, oh my gosh, this guy's

744
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: a genius. Not only would he scout the defense that

745
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: he thought we were gonna be playing, he'd be scouting

746
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 1: the players that were playing the defense. Where his eyes,

747
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,320
Speaker 1: how are his hips, how are his feet, how is

748
00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: his how is he his ball judgment in the air.

749
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: And so he would tell Drew, Hey, listen, this guy

750
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 1: is gonna be in place, but his ball skills are

751
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: so poor. Just throw it. He's not gonna get to it.

752
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: And that's what makes these elite coaches so much better.

753
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick did the same thing. He would know tendencies

754
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 1: of your special teams player walking down the hall. Hey, Heath,

755
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 1: who do you got on the punt return this week?

756
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: Is he faster or quicker? And you better know he's

757
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 1: not that fast? But man, he's sure is quick. How

758
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: did you know to describe the Cowboys safety? So after

759
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: you know? It's funny too. Ellie and I are both

760
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys fans and everybody knows that in Boys Sean Payton

761
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: was in our staff and say, there's still something. The

762
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: lady Karen Hagner that runs his foundation is still mad

00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: would endorse us playing Iron Maiden dud to Marius Thomas highlight.

783
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm just saying no, he would. Why not. He was

784
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,359
Speaker 1: a good kid. He roll with the punches, he'd roll

785
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: with it. Yeah, he might request Metallica well when we

786
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: were in the when we were in the break, Yeah,

787
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 1: but he would request like the softer Metallica on the

788
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: early days. Okay, when we're taking a shot at tebome

789
00:37:26,280 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: On Harrison, when when we just beat the Pittsburgh Steve

790

Speaker 1: did and I love, I love the way he plays.

791
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: We were just talking in the break about de Marius

792
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: Thomas and Fabs. You're talking about him as a breakout

793
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: player fantasy wise. He talked about what you were saying.

794
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: When we're off fair absolute beast Sky's the limit. You know,

795
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: it's funny, you know, um Fabs, you know I had

796
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: had to pull up the stats. I mean, I thought

797
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: this guy was six twenties, So maybe I should get fired.

798
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: I need to do better job scouty players. But six

799
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: three folks two thirty five. I mean, you're talking about

800
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 1: a young Andre Johnson is what you're looking at. But honestly,

801
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean that opp in speed that we saw. You

802
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: see the big stiff arm on Ike Taylor on the

803
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: highlight that you guys just heard, you know, But then

804
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,040
Speaker 1: ultimately he outruns Monday on the angle, which guys in

805
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:10,879
Speaker 1: the in the NFL, everyone's fast. And when we're talking

806
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: about out running guys two guys that have an angle

807
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 1: on you, I mean you are superior speed and and

808
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: that is just you talk about big size. He's only

809
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,240
Speaker 1: gonna get better. The more comfortable he gets in an offense.

810
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: The better this offensive line gets in Denver, the more

811
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: comfortable Tebow gets this offense will expand I mean expect

812
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,360
Speaker 1: big things in the future. And a stat that I

813
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: think is really telling. And you know me, I'm all

814
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: about the numbers and uh in fantasy land and Heath,

815
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: you're playing in a fantasy league next year with us

816
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: my friend. Alright, Heath is one of my favorite paper

817
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: l NFL network And I gotta get you in the

818
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: league with us, man, because I know you love it.

819
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 1: I'll do it. But if you look at Thomas's numbers

820
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: in his last six games, including last week's two hundred

821
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: yard game against the Steelers, and projected him over a

822
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: full season based on those stats, over sevent d yards

823
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: and ten touchdowns in that offense. That in that offense

824
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: Elliott exactly in a run bay offense. And you guys

825
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,719
Speaker 1: talked about the comparison with the Carolina Panthers. Well, yeah,

826
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: they had a great defense and they could run the ball,

827
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,439
Speaker 1: but they also had Steve Smith putting up some very

828
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: nice fantasy and and I know Homedy was the best

829
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: fantasy receiver in all of football. And O four, when

830
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: I know people are thinking, oh, they'll cool off, people

831
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,959
Speaker 1: will find a way to cover him better, not true,

832
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: because This is what you gotta think, folks about the

833
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. They are only gonna get better at designing

834
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: plays and frustrating defenses. And when you have Tim Tebow

835
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: that is a passer, that is an automatic run threat,

836
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: down in and down out, your run game is consistent.

837
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: How else there's all there's no one's reinventing the wheel

838
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: to play defense. There's only so many guys on the field.

839
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: And the fact that Tim Tebow is always threat, there's

840
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: always another man that's assigned to him, that's normally in

841
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: the coverage scheme. So you're automatically down a man because

842
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: of the Tim Tebow factor. So listen, you talk about

843
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: de Marius Thomas. I just think as they get better,

844
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: he stays healthy, Tim Tebow continues to grow. Um, it

845
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: could be scary. Well, he I'm gonna I'm gonna put

846
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: your feet the fire here and then fabs, I want,

847
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: I want your opinion. Uh NFL dot Com standards scoring

848
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: is one point for every twenty five yards passing, one

849
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 1: point for every ten yards rushing. Okay, and if you

850
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 1: score rushing touchdown you get six points. Could you see

851
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow out scoring Tom Brady Fantasy wise in this game. Yeah,

852
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: I mean, because you have the rushing factor. You know,

853
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: you get inside the two or three, you know, he's

854
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: ultimately probably gonna get his number called to end up

855
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: running it in. So I mean you start even Brady

856
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 1: throws for four hundred yards, which you can obviously fathom

857
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,840
Speaker 1: him doing that, but you start talking about you know,

858
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: Tebow putting up another two hundred plus yard day and

859
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: then maybe two rushing touchdowns and another seventy eight yards.

860
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 1: You know, Um, but that is the potential there. I mean,

861
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,919
Speaker 1: we ultimately know a week point of this Patriot team

862
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: period is the defense and beating a team twice in

863
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: the season. I know what Bill belichickers coaching this team

864
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 1: this week. I mean I can hear the speeches in

865
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: my head right now that they've got a tough out

866
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: and um, yes, Brady played near falllessly last time. That

867
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: team just whooped him up and down the field. Um,

868
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: but if they can hold on the ball this this

869
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: week on the road, this's gonna be a great Give

870
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: us a prediction, Uh, you know, I think the Patriots

871
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: win this game. I trust the discipline nature of any

872
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick team, unless they're they're playing the Saints just

873
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: because listen, Sean Payton formulated his team and that's what

874
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 1: I loved about that man, A humble approach said, Hey,

875
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:19,839
Speaker 1: Bill is doing it near perfectly. We want to copy

876
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 1: what we can from New England, and so he approaches

877
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: his team the same way. The discipline, structure, um, every

878
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 1: possible scenario that you could possibly face in a game,

879
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: they've got covered. They've got it down pat The players

880
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: know how to execute it and execute at a high level. So, uh,

881
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: you know, I think the Patriots win this game at home,

882
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: but I don't think we see the three turnovers that

883
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: we saw last time, and I do think that we

884
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: see somewhat of a dog fight. Just one quick comment

885
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 1: on this game before we get to any on the

886
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: tebow Brady. In back in week fifteen, Thibaut scored him

887
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 1: by six tenths of a point in Fantasy at twenty seven,

888
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: uh point oh six, Brady had twenty seven. Both were phenomenal.

889
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: But in this NFL playoff challenge, you've got to go

890
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: with Brady because, as he deleted to, the Patriots are

891
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 1: likely going to win this game on their home field.

892
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: If there was one game of the four where you

893
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 1: sign upset, because that's big. If you can, if you

894
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: can go out and predict an upset in in this

895
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,920
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Playoff Challenge, you're you're looking real good, just

896
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: like the Packers say last year. With Rogers going three

897
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: rounds into the Super Bowl, Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald

898
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 1: back in oh eight going three rounds going on the

899
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,359
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. What team do you think is the most

900
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: vulnerable to an upset? It's easy, you only need to listen.

901
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: It's now that's that. That's heaf too, because the Giants

902
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: are hot, their defense is healthy. And but let let

903
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: me get to a different point. We love the in

904
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: the shuck and the JPP, we love all this stuff.

905
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: But let's look at the Kansas City game. Kansas City

906
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:50,319
Speaker 1: um literally gets the ball four minute offense. Green Bay knows, hey, listen,

907
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:51,879
Speaker 1: if we could just get the ball back to Aaron

908
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: Rodgers will win this game. Guess what four minute offense

909
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: They knew they were running the ball trying to stay

910
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: in bounce. They beat the crap out of that Green

911
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 1: Bay defense. They go to Chicago, they give up a

912
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine yards rushing. Yes, they win, but

913
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: they gave up a hundred nine nine nobat four tee. Folks,

914
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 1: So you talk about the way Jacobs ran last week,

915
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: you talk about a mod Bradshaw, you talk about Eli

916
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 1: playing the way he's playing, You talk about a healthy

917
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: Manning him now, and these these wide receivers doing what

918
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 1: they're doing. Yeah, we can focus all day about that,

919
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 1: that Giants defense and the pass rush. Yeah, but Aaron

920
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers is awesome, and he's gonna make his plays and

921
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: he'll get sacks. But ultimately, the concerns for me is

922
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: is Rogers being on that bench by the gatorade too

923
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: much and too often, and Eli being out there managing

924
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,439
Speaker 1: the seventy d R drives, being able to eat up clock,

925
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: run the football and frustrate this week link Green Bay defense.

926
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 1: That's That's so why I wrote imagine that. Well, yeah,

927
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: when when we did the guys that shouldn't make the

928
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,240
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, I wrote, b J ROGI mean his buckets

929
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:46,839
Speaker 1: moved out of there quite a bit. You know, he's

930
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 1: got to play a lot better for that team. That

931
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: being said, FABS, would you be comfortable starting Eli Manning

932
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: over Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs? No, I'm I got

933
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:56,080
Speaker 1: your breezes I've been rolling a breeze. My prediction was

934
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: the Saints were going to the Super Bowl, so I

935
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,640
Speaker 1: went with a lot of Saints. I'm sticking with breeze,

936
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: and as much as I agree with Heath that the Giants,

937
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: I think are the team that could pull the upset,

938
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 1: especially as a Cowboys because I'm still better about the

939
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:12,439
Speaker 1: regular season. Five seconds. Any hope for the Texans against

940
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Definitely. We've seen Flacco play horrible football. It's

941
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: always a possibility. Fabs. I'm going Ravens at Ray Rice.

942
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 1: He's my guy. Well, no one's playing Joe Flacco in

943
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: the playoff challenge, and I hope not. But Heath Evans,
