I love 39 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: to dive into the private life, but it was very 40 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: busy this morning, so it didn't even get a chance 41 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: to talk to us. I don't know how. You know, 42 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: if west would rather keep this off the air, or 43 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: rather whether he wants too late for that. Yeah, I 44 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: mean Greg dove in. So I guess the question is 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 1: when are we going to meet her? Uh? Is she 46 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: on the show today? Is? Is she far enough away 47 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: where it wouldn't be feasible for her to drive in 48 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: right now and and sit and mark spot. She's not 49 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 1: going to be on the show. She's in Marina del Rey, 50 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: and I think she's just going for a dog on 51 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: the beach. Wow. You you you know before you got 52 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: up here, you know, I talked to him a little 53 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: bit and at one point you did say you compared 54 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: to to a cross between you and celer at some point, 55 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: which sounds confusing and attractive at the same time. Wait, 56 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: the woman is a cross between well, I was talking 57 00:02:54,400 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: more specifically about her um party in habits Okay, you know, 58 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: are you going out? You went out a little bit, 59 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: We went out the last two nights yet Anyway, so 60 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: this is we're gonna delve into this very deep as 61 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: time progresses. It might have been end up ruining the relationship. 62 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised, but we're not trying to do that. 63 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 1: We want this too, We want something to bloom here. 64 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 1: I don't think you can ruin it, alright. I like that. 65 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 1: That is a challenge. I thought you was talking about 66 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: West's relationship with us, because it definitely yes. And speaking 67 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: of West, before we get into what's coming up today, 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: I want everybody to know that next week what's coming back. 69 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: And it's a perfect timing with NFL now launching.

You know when football season starts. Oh, 79 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: here's one thing just to waste some time. I mean, 80 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: you could look at that way if you don't like fun. 81 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: I look at as it's good, truth be told. I'm 82 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: starting to kind of tire of the game myself, just 83 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: gotten too easy. WHOA well, you know what, I take 84 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: that all these tomato cans we've had lined up last 85 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: times gotten too easy.

Just like I took you 89 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: down in cornhole last weekend, you might face it a 90 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: new challenger that might make you think, oh, this game 91 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: is still challenging. Are you gonna throw a party and 92 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: dump a bunch of substances into my body before we 93 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: play the toaster game? Too?

Well, 130 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 1: I know it's part of the show. Do the shadow 131 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: even figures now that you have a ball cap on 132 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: right now and you were on video and I'm behind 133 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: the glass, guys, what hamper create? He also has a 134 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 1: graph thick and you can watch where he refers to 135 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: himself as young. I don't refer to myself That's why 136 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: it's in quotation marks. It's also young ish. Kobe, you're 137 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: almost thirty years I hope, I hope nobody high up 138 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: five years younger than Kobe. All right, so let's start. Yeah, 139 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: let's start with the games then, and uh, if we're 140 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: gonna start with the games, we should probably start with 141 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the third. Ye, we gotta do a news drop. Oh, 142 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: let's do it, because that's why you left. All right, 143 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: that's part of the show. Okay, Can I talk about 144 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the third? Go ahead? All right, here we go. Uh, 145 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: the Redskins quarterback who is entering really what feels like 146 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: a make or break year in Washington. But after what 147 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: we saw on Thursday, you wonder if he's even gonna 148 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: have a chance. He got absolutely battered in win over 149 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: the lines. He left the game in the second quarter 150 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: after suffering a concussion and a shoulder stinger. Greg You 151 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: wrote about this. He took an absolute pounding in a 152 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: short amount of time. The same thing that happened in 153 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 1: the first preseason game happened even more in this game. 154 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: Every time he dropped back he got hit hard. Literally, 155 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: he dropped back to pass eight times and he got 156 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: hit six times. He fumbled the ball twice, he got 157 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: sacked three times. They gained or they lost five yards 158 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: combined on those times eight going back. So it was 159 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: a fiasco of epic proportions. Most of it was on 160 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: the offensive line and a lot of and some of 161 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: it was on Robert Griffin the third two. Michael Robinson 162 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: had a great piece after the game showing how he 163 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: didn't see a free blitzer in Any veteran quarterback or 164 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: even a young quarterback should know that, and he got 165 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 1: hammered because of it on one of those plays. It 166 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: doesn't he doesn't look any different than he did last year. 167 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: He's holding the ball too long into pocket. Look, he 168 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: basically got sacked at at a historic rate last year. 169 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 1: No quarterback since has had as few pass attempts in 170 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: as many sacks as RG three did last year. He 171 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: had basically the same amount of dropbacks as Kirk Cousins, 172 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 1: and he was sacked thirty three times. Kirk Cousin was 173 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: sacked eight times last year. This the problem is r 174 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: G three, this is a horrific match. You have an 175 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: offensive line and Brandon Sureff, the number five overall pick, 176 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: did not do well here. They were missing their left tackle, 177 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: which doesn't help matters. But this is the match of 178 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: an offensive line that's overwhelmed against the good defensive line 179 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: by the way um and a quarterback that cannot feel pressure, 180 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: that doesn't know how to read blitzers. So you put 181 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,559 Speaker 1: those things together, there's almost and I tweeted it, Yes, 182 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: there's almost no way I can imagine unless r G 183 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: three could get bench for performance reasons too. But that 184 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 1: he's healthy after week three of the season, he's just 185 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: gonna get hurt. I totally agree. He's played less than 186 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: a half of football and he's taken at least nine 187 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,719 Speaker 1: big shots so far. I mean, that's that's crazy. He's 188 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: taken more big shots than Tom Brady takes in an 189 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: entire season now this time, most of them really was 190 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: the offensive line's fault. That uh Sheriff, as you mentioned, 191 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: I mean he just got pushed back by one of 192 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 1: the Dominican Sue's replacements, Tyrone Walker at Ross Tucker, who 193 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 1: is a former guard you know, made the comment I 194 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: think it's safe to say Sheriff is not going to 195 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: be this year, Zack Martin, as they were trying to 196 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: talk him up. They've already moved position. He struggled. But 197 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: it has to be mentioned on the play in which 198 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: Robert Griffin the third was concussed and they checked him 199 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: out for a shoulder stringer, shoulder stinger, he just dropped 200 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 1: the ball. And he just dropped the ball. No one 201 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: touched him. He fell on the ball and people jumped 202 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 1: on him. That was his second fumble. Both of those 203 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: fumbles last night. We're really on him. He's had terrible 204 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: ball security too as a pro. So that's that's a 205 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: legitimate problem. No. No one kind of pointed that out 206 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 1: after the game, that that that's on him, that he 207 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: got hurt in that spot. He forgot how to play 208 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: quarterback last year, and nothing I've seen in these two 209 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 1: preseason games suggest that he's relearned it. He needs a 210 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: fresh start, he needs to sit for a year behind 211 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,199 Speaker 1: another quarterback, and he needs to be rewired to learn 212 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: how to play in the pockets. I don't think it's 213 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: gonna happen in Washington. This to me is the most 214 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: oppressing team in the NFL right now. I don't see 215 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: any reason for hope in Washington. I think this is 216 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,599 Speaker 1: another This is a four and twelve season, and I 217 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: don't see how you can get excited about this team. 218 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: And I don't want to. How about their number five 219 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: overall draft picks. The guard they drafted into play right 220 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: tackle and he's already been converted to guard and gotting 221 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: worked over. Yeah, I mean, there's really nothing to And 222 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: maybe he's apparently he's a much better run blocker at 223 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: this stage and he's working on his games. That's not 224 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 1: gonna cell ticket's. I got a big stadium to fill 225 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: in Washington. It seems like it's very time for you 226 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: to make your point about first round offensive lineman high 227 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 1: in the draft. Yeah, everyone always says those are safe picks, 228 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: and there have been more bus in the offensive line 229 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: lately than anything. Jason Smith, Eric Fisher. I'd like to 230 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,599 Speaker 1: see Luke Joco blocks somebody. It is worth noting. J 231 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: Gruden said after the game that he expects Robert Griffin 232 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: the third uh will remain the starter. It's not like 233 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: a situation where if these guys come in and look great, 234 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: they expect Griffin. Once he'st what are they watch? We'll 235 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: be starting and we'll see both those quarterbacks. Maybe a third. 236 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 1: John Beck could be in the picture. McCoy is the 237 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: one who replaced him last night. They're saying Colt McCoy 238 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: could be the backup. I kind of doubt that he'll 239 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: be injured just as much as r G three. Al Right, 240 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: moving on, Let's move on to to the Cleveland Browns 241 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: who lost in eleven ten heartbreaker. You know, we don't 242 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 1: study the scores enough, but eleven ten is a funny score. Well, 243 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: not on that when e J. Manuel completes a beautiful 244 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: touchdown over a minute and then they put up a 245 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 1: two point conversion also from e J. Manuel on it, 246 00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: that's a tough way to lose. I just want to 247 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: read actually allowed the text I was getting from Mark 248 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: Sessler last night. This wasn't a pre planned bit w 249 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 1: t F was that that was off of Manzel pass 250 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: f this team. I'm editing it here very s show. 251 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: That's after the two point conversion, So he was not Yeah, 252 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: he's not plugged in on this while I was off 253 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 1: gallivantin around as you put it. I texted Mark because 254 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: I was getting text from people on Tybe saying Johnny 255 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: football looks like a real player. And I texted Mark 256 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: and he says barely. He was okay, two great throws, 257 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: some messiness. So that's a situation. That's what we'll talk 258 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: about here. Johnny Manziel did not start this game. Josh 259 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: McCown did. And you know, Wes, Josh McCown stinks. I mean, 260 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: I I know he doesn't have a lot of tools 261 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: around him, but he appeared in three Why did you 262 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 1: take the second preseason game after which he played poorly 263 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: and said he stinks, But after he played great in 264 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: the first preseason game, you didn't say, hey, Josh McCown 265 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: is awesome. Well listen, because we have enough evidence to 266 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: know that he stinks. So when I see him stink again. 267 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, this is the Josh McCown that 268 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: the Browns are gonna get. He throws two picks in 269 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 1: three possessions. He doesn't. He just he's basically he takes 270 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: way too many chances and he can't do with this 271 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: type of skill player talent. He's not a good caretaker. Wes. 272 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 1: I don't think he is a caretaker. I I think 273 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,640 Speaker 1: you're right about that, But I don't think you should 274 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: judge him off of like what a quarter of action 275 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: and one judging him off his whole career other than 276 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: five games. I agree with that West. But the second interception, 277 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: which was picked off by Ronald Darby, was a reminder. 278 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: There was a couple of throws like that that he 279 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: took off his back foot with pressure right in his face, 280 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 1: and it was kind of that Josh mccount, Now, I'm 281 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: just gonna go for it. I'm the old boy slinger 282 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: that's not gonna work with the brown It worked when 283 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: you were thrown to six four Brandon Marshall, six three 284 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: Elseean Jeffrey and six seven martellis Ben exactly, but that 285 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: most teams don't have that. That's a problem when you've 286 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: got Taylor Gabriel and Travis Benjamin at five ft nine 287 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: or whatever. That mark your thoughts. Mm hmmm, yeah, plenty 288 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: of hope, upset, Okay, good talk, Mark Um the old 289 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: Southern boy gun slinger by the way, or slinger I 290 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: like that. Yeah, that's kind of what mccount is. He's 291 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,480 Speaker 1: like a poor man's Ryan Fitzpatrick. So McCown McCown doesn't 292 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: do anything. He plays a half. Johnny Manziel comes in, 293 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: does some things. I mean, he had some moments. He 294 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,479 Speaker 1: finished ten of eighteen and eighteen yards through a touchdown, 295 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: had at least one play on a nice scramble, or 296 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: it reminded you of the old Johnny football days of 297 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: Texas A and m Um. So it leads to the 298 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: question do the Browns have a quarterback controversy brewing here? 299 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: Mike Petton shot it down, But should we believe Josh 300 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: McCown will absolutely start Week one? Still, there's no controversy now, 301 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 1: but there will be. There's no way my accounts starting 302 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: all season. Patton said after the game. McCown is firmly 303 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: the number one, and I've been I said it to 304 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: open the preseason. Manzel is competing against the October version 305 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,360 Speaker 1: of account that's going to be struggling. And right now, 306 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: Manziel has shown enough, I think in the preseason to 307 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: get the coaches thinking, okay, he he could be a 308 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 1: good mid season replacement. That one throw he had on 309 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: the move was unbelievable, But the other decisions, which John 310 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: Gruden really liked, was he was making checks at the 311 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, he was throwing short passes. These two 312 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: weeks where I watched him, I would just say he 313 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: looked okay, he looked like a solid NFL quarterback, and 314 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: that's progress for him. I agree. I think that everything 315 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: you pointed to means that when they are three and 316 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: six or whatever and at the people in Cleveland gonna 317 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: be clamoring for Johnny Manziel at that point, I would 318 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: be surprised. Yeah, if McCown doesn't play well, I don't 319 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a ton of rope. I could 320 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: see him playing by the end of September. Potential that 321 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: I think. Yeah, It's like last year when the Jaguars 322 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,760 Speaker 1: kept swearing up and down that Bortles would sit out 323 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: all season, and you knew by by the end of September, 324 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 1: he'd be starting, because we know what Josh mccounty, we 325 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: know what Chad Henny is. It's a weird thing though, 326 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: with quarterbacks it's like they're either good or they're bad, 327 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: and there's no in between. With the storyline. Last week, 328 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: after r G three's game, r G three good, So 329 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: he's good. Now everything is good with r G three 330 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: played pretty well this week. It's like, h m back, 331 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: we pointed out last week a better quarterback. But I'm 332 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: just saying mad, that was fine, but let's not get 333 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: carried away. At a six point five yards per attempt, 334 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: they didn't really score much. I'm dropping my um confidence 335 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: that the Browns are playoff contended down to two and 336 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: a half Indian Barrel Grom after watching the game. I 337 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: think that's a fair assessment. Um. Let's talk about the 338 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: Bills now, and let's talk about Tyrod Taylor, who played 339 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: the entire first half in this game, again looked competent. 340 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 1: He completed seven of ten passes sixty five yard as 341 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: he had four runs for forty one yards, again showing 342 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: that mobility that you know Rex Ryan loves in a quarterback. 343 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: So you look at this, it really does seem like 344 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: Chris Westling. This is his job to lose. Well, I 345 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 1: think we've we've seen this since April. We knew it 346 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 1: would be Tyrod Taylor's job to lose. Matt Castle is 347 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: a bum. Well wait a second, stagonizing using the royal 348 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: we Tyrod Taylor was gonna guess. We knew that j 349 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 1: He's played more of this season than he's ever played, 350 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: that those guys were failures. In the NFL has starting quarterbacks, 351 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor hasn't had a chance to fail yet. Rex 352 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 1: Ryan loves him, and he adds an element to their 353 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,439 Speaker 1: offense that the other two guys don't. Well, here's what 354 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: I know. Rex Ryan has no clue how to coach offense, 355 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 1: or quarterbacks or make decisions. And once he sees a 356 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 1: quarterback running around for a first down, he's just gonna 357 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: get all excited. So Tyrod Taylor looked good last night. 358 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: He only scored three points in three drives, so let's 359 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: not get carried too far away. But he made good decisions. 360 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 1: He made some NFL throws. I watched the first half 361 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 1: for this game with Mark Sessler and our downstairs. Yeah, 362 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: by the way, Ali bomb Bari Bombury editor downstairs, very 363 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: upset that you called him a browny, said he was 364 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 1: part of browny culture and he could be litigious about it, 365 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 1: just letting you know. I he didn't mention the lutitious part. 366 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,240 Speaker 1: I know that you've mentioned it a few times. Are you? 367 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: Are you angling? We want to be I want to 368 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: be your book agent, and I'll Lea's lawyers. So when 369 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: you make a ton of money off books, I'll sue 370 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: you for that money. With Ali, I get it all. 371 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: You're gonna have a hard time winning this case because 372 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 1: I have photographic evidence of my little pony being on 373 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: his screen at on his computer at work. All right, well, 374 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 1: all right, well we'll dig into that a little more. 375 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: Greg save us. I can't save this. This is off 376 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 1: the rail, Dia Taylor. Well, one thing, I remember my point, 377 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 1: but let me just make it uh. I will say 378 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: that he at one point he completes a past Tyrod Taylor, 379 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: and I think it was Ali or maybe it was like, Wow, 380 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: this guy can play. He just completed a pass. We 381 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: don't want to get too excited about the guys the 382 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: Bills offense. He completed a pass. That's that's noteworthy. As 383 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 1: much as I've been rooting for Castle, I said, I 384 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,639 Speaker 1: wrote after the game, Well, they just gotta make Tyrod 385 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: Taylor the starter. Now make him the starter. Everyone. That 386 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: way he can play a lot in the third preseason game. 387 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: Everyone can prepare. But of course, immediately after the game, 388 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 1: Rex Ryan says, we're not announcing a starter until week 389 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: one of the regular season, and we might not start 390 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor next week in the preseason. So he can't 391 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: even take a good thing and take advantage of it. 392 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: He doesn't handle the quarterback situation correctly at any point. 393 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: Is there any way you could start none of them? 394 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 1: Can you? Can you start like Marcel Darius? I don't know. 395 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 1: I love the EJ. Manuel celebration though after he threw 396 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: the game. It was big, It was the biggest. The 397 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: only person we know has no chance in this race. Uh. 398 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: In other news, yes, we talked about the Carolina Panthers. Uh. 399 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,959 Speaker 1: Calvin Benjamin, their number one receiver, went down with an 400 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: injury on Wednesday, spraying. The test confirmed the worst a 401 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: torn a c l for the emerging star just a DEVI, 402 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: a stating setback for the Panthers, who needed Benjamin to 403 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 1: kind of make the leap to superstar almost level status 404 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: to get this offense really to the next level. Now 405 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 1: they don't have him at all, Greg Rosenthal, how devastating 406 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: is this to the Panthers. Chris mentioned the other day 407 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 1: that he's one of the most valuable receivers to his 408 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: team because there's such a big drop off after him, 409 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: and his size really helps out Cam Newton, who just 410 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: like throwing it up high and deep. Their number one 411 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: receiver right now is Corey Brown. If you don't know 412 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: who that is, I didn't really either for a second. 413 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: Then I figured out it was Philly Brown, and Philly 414 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: Brown changed his name. That's their number one receiver right now. 415 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: By the way, Philly Brown a much better name than 416 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: Corey Brown. Yeah, everybody's named Corey Brown. There's got to 417 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,360 Speaker 1: be at least seventeen point guards in thirty three wide 418 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: receivers named Corey Brown. He literally is listed as the 419 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: starter opposite Benjamin so in theory he's the number one, 420 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: but it's gonna be him and Fungus and Jericho Cottry. 421 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: That is the worst wide receiver. That is worse than 422 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 1: the Browns receiver group. Riverboat came out and said, uh 423 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: that there it punches into Benjamin's position now, which makes 424 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: me think they want they want him to be the 425 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: number one. He has the size, they need him, they 426 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 1: need him. I think they went from NFC South favorites 427 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: and a chance to surprise in the playoffs too. Anyone 428 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: could take that division now and I don't think they're 429 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: going far in the playoffs without Calvin benn And we 430 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: should mention if we're mentioned funches and they're pushing him 431 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: to be in that role and he thinks he can 432 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 1: be it. He also strained his hamstring on that same practice, 433 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 1: and just like we were saying on Wednesday show, you 434 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: never know what happens with a hamstring stranger. You know, 435 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: they think he'll be ready for practice next week, but 436 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: you never know. So that even complicates his situation further. Yikes. 437 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 1: Stephen Hill is somewhere thinking this could have been my chance. Remember, Yeah, well, 438 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: well let's look at some replacements to It's not like 439 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: you're gonna find anything on the free agent pile either. Uh. 440 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,360 Speaker 1: Here are some names all throughout their Reggie Wayne Wes Welker, 441 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: Saintanna Moss. Stop me when you hear somebody that will 442 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: help his team, Santonio Holmes, Brandon Lloyd Robert meet Um 443 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: because they just kept Cottrey on the roster. Greg was 444 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: talking about they were thinking about cutting him. Basically, don't 445 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: sign red you Wayne. Just keep Catrey on the roster. 446 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 1: He already knows better than Jericho Catry. Maybe it wasn't 447 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 1: last year him out. I don't know. It's bad. It's 448 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: a bad offense. They need their defense. The only way 449 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: that they win that division, I think is if they 450 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: their defense gets back to two thirteen level. If you're 451 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne and you're a borderline Hall of Famer, do 452 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: you really want to spend like the last thirteen games 453 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: of your career like posting two and twenty seven yards 454 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: for the Panthers. A lot of guys have done that 455 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: at the end of their career. Movie still hasn't in them. 456 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: But it would be good if he just went out 457 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: as a cult. We'll see what happens. Uh. Other injury news, 458 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals UM have an offensive line that you know, 459 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: entering training camp, we were excited about it. Well it's excited. 460 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: I don't care. I mean, I think they're gonna be 461 00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: better and they'll be good if Curt on Dan's feelings 462 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 1: on offensive line yeah, I mean, it's just you know, 463 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,479 Speaker 1: it is what it is. But Mike Patty, who they 464 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: signed to a they signed in March to a big deal, 465 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: signed him away from the forty Niners, is expected to 466 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: undergo Arthur scotpic knee surgery that will sideline him about 467 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,119 Speaker 1: six weeks, which is at least six weeks excuse me, 468 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: which is just the latest problem for a line. Bobby 469 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 1: Massey is facing a three game suspension. There's some issues 470 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 1: at center. So all of a sudden, guys, the Cardinals line, 471 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: which looked much improved, may not be. Yeah, I think 472 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: you had Jared Veldier at left tackle, Mikey Potty at 473 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: left guard, a couple of guys who were Pro Bowl caliber. 474 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: They thought they were all right at center. They had 475 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 1: to bring back Lyle cent line because they're two centers 476 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 1: that they had an early in camp were so bad. 477 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,159 Speaker 1: Jonathan Cooper two thousand thirteen first round pick, who basically 478 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 1: has not played in the NFL in two years. We 479 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: thought he could be good. He's a giant question mark. 480 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: And like you said, Bobby Massey, they're starting right tackles out. 481 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: Their whole offensive line is a question mark. Now, well, 482 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: I had party, couldn't pass protect and was struggling with 483 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,239 Speaker 1: some injuries playing through it in San Francisco last year. 484 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: They didn't really take a big bid to resign him 485 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 1: in the first place. Now he's out for a couple 486 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 1: of months. I'm just saying that he's not a bad 487 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 1: pass protector. Like you said, he's playing His play fell 488 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: off while playing through an injury that happened. To understand 489 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: how he do make him a bad favorite, That made 490 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: him a risk in free agency, and it does just 491 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: make you wonder about this whole offense. You know, the 492 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 1: running backs, the quarterback, the quarterback coming off a c 493 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: l S second thirty six years old or whatever. It's 494 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: a it's a concern. It's put it all together. And 495 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 1: a couple of months ago we talked about the Cardinals 496 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: as a favorite, I mean, the Vikings are also up there, 497 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: but a favorite as a team around the NFL, and 498 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 1: you know, now we don't know. Now there's there's definitely 499 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: reason and speaking of the team of a t L 500 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: we're gonna start getting into it more, aren't we. And 501 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: you know, maybe a little treat for NFL now users 502 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: and of course the listeners because it's one of the 503 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: great hits of all time. Roll it t d oh 504 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: yeah to shine up on the team. It's a very 505 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: special honor, very special, so special that the most boring 506 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: team in the league became the team of a t 507 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: L last year eight Nate San Diego Chargers or whatever 508 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:37,159 Speaker 1: they finished at two Panthers that came out organically. There 509 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,119 Speaker 1: was a lot of fights for any new listeners that 510 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: haven't been with us. We choose a team that really 511 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: represents us as a group at all. It becomes West's 512 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: favorite team since he doesn't really have a team. Uh, 513 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: the Chargers didn't really work out too well last year, 514 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 1: But I just let's let's be fair, West, you're begging 515 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: on the Chargers, but we had. The rest of us 516 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: were ready to sign on for the Cardinals last year, 517 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: which is a perfect team, and you threw up the 518 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: stop sign, So you can't go get honest for eventually 519 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: choosing my second favorite. Why is Gregg throwing up to 520 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: stop sign on the Cardinals this year? Well, I just 521 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,120 Speaker 1: teams go up, and I I just kind of think 522 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: that this is a team that's going to fall back 523 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: to the pack. Look at the changes that they've had 524 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 1: on defense. Very few teams have had as much turnover 525 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,479 Speaker 1: on defense as they've had. Uh, they had the injuries 526 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: last year of course on defense that they overcame. But 527 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 1: it's it's not as talented a group. I don't think 528 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: as you think it's got a good secondary. They just 529 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,879 Speaker 1: seem like you gotta pick two or three teams in 530 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 1: each conference to fall out of the playoffs. And I'm 531 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, all right, Cardinals are one of those teams, Okay, 532 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: I I think, um, the Titans could be an option here. 533 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: We mentioned this last week, but look, Mark's in love 534 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 1: with David Cobb. Mark has it's getting weird about Greg 535 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: mentioned team. I like Mariotta and Dan. I was explaining 536 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: yesterday while I was guy venting around. I told her, 537 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: Damn will go along with anything if it's gonna make 538 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: the podcast goods. That's his loyalty. So my loyalty is 539 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 1: with and No, my loyalty is with the listeners and viewers. 540 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: And there's nothing wrong with that, Christopher. No. I meant 541 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 1: that as a compliment that you would not hold up 542 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: a team of a t l because you'll do anything 543 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 1: to make the podcast. Where I think I agree with 544 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: with the rest of the guys. In terms of choosing 545 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: the team of ATO, I'd be fine with a team 546 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: of a TL going six and ten and seven and nine. Like. 547 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean they'd be unsuccessful to me. It's just 548 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: like a team to watch and whatever. They don't have 549 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: to be the greatest team in the world. Let's get 550 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: it right, Let's get it. Would be pretty incredible with 551 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: the Titans became the team of a t L. It's 552 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 1: a good storyline for you after they were the Titoons 553 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: last year. Yeah, very true. All right, This is it, guys, 554 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,320 Speaker 1: This is it Part three of three, the final time 555 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: we'll talk about Fantasy before the season, the Fantasy Extravaganza. 556 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,240 Speaker 1: Very regal, and for a reason, because this is a 557 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 1: special conversation between two icons, icons of the industry. Basically, 558 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: not only did Greg and West both uh you know, 559 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: make their bones over at Roadal World. I think Greg 560 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 1: built the site HTML wise from the ground up, brick 561 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: by brick, virtual brick here. He put on one of 562 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:24,320 Speaker 1: those like virtual headsets from the movie Disclosure with Bemmi 563 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: Moore and Michael Douglas and built that website. So that's great. Uh, 564 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: Mark is also here is he? That's so basically gonna 565 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: get a lot of hot takes from him. The NFL 566 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: media Fantasy outsider Mark Sessler actually out of the office today, 567 00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: of course, So I will you know, I'm just a 568 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: regular Joe. I'm just a guy in the presence of greatness. 569 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: Uh So I will chip in with some thoughts because 570 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: I've been playing fantasy for like twenty years, won like 571 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: one or two leagues, so that makes me somewhat uh 572 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: qualified on some level. Whatever, get my back and before 573 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,239 Speaker 1: we get the quarterbacks, I do. I've been working all 574 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: weeks trying to get like a catchphrase, because, like I said, 575 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,960 Speaker 1: you need something that separates you from the rest. Yeah, 576 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: so just a couple more. I know you guys, I 577 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: had some dad stuff that you guys didn't connect as well. 578 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: So here we go, three more, Um, just do it. 579 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 1: I think that's already been taken. But it's taken, all right? 580 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: Where's the beef the Fantasy Extravaganza, bud Light I said, 581 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna see I'm losing. I'm like, uh my confidence 582 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: is what happened. I think you have a better chance 583 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: of getting winning to catch on than to have those 584 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: taglines catch all right, So I'm going in the wrong direction. 585 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: So it's a good thing. It's a it's over now, 586 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: uh in terms of the slogan. So let's get into 587 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: it now. The quarterbacks, uh, and every league, when you 588 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: win a league, you need a quarterback who's doing damage. 589 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: So what we'll do is, um, we'll start out with 590 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,920 Speaker 1: overvalued quarterbacks in this draft. These are guys that you 591 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: wanna It would be nice to have him on your roster, obviously, 592 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: but do not reach for them by any means. And 593 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: we'll start with you, Greg Rosenthal. Well, I'm gonna start 594 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: with the guy who's our producer TDS favorite player in 595 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: the NFL throws a sexy deep ball, not a sexy 596 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 1: fantasy pick, TV Russell Wilson. Hey, he's overrated in life, 597 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 1: he's overrated in general. He's really not overrated as an 598 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: NFL quarterback. But there's no need to take him in 599 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: the third round when guys like Drew Brees and Matthew 600 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: Stafford and Matt Ryan and Tony Romo are getting taken 601 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: five or six rounds later. I just don't think there's 602 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: that big of a gap between Russell Wilson and the 603 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: rest of the QB one group. And if you look 604 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 1: at where they're getting taken. You could take a great 605 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: quarterback in round six or seven, and so that's what 606 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: I would do. I was prepared to kill you for this, 607 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: but you made such excellent points to oh yes, because 608 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: he does get a lot of rushing yards and rushing tds, 609 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 1: don't you that'll that will diminish a little bit over 610 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit, but I think he'll make up 611 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,719 Speaker 1: for it by the fact that last year he had 612 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 1: the worst collection of red zone weapons in the league, 613 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: and this year he's got Jimmy Graham, he's got Chris 614 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: Matthews emerging as a red zone guy. I think they're 615 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 1: gonna have a jumbo package. He's gonna throw more touchdowns. 616 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: So but I I totally agree that why take him 617 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: in the third round when you can get a good 618 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 1: quarterback later. Let me play devil's advocate to your point, 619 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 1: greg Um, And if you you speak against Russell Wilson, 620 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 1: you are the devil. Which is when you look at 621 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 1: what Russell Wilson has done, I guess from a passing 622 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: in yardage and touchdown standpoint, I wouldn't be surprised that 623 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 1: it's kind of similar to Tom Brady pre two thousand 624 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: and six. What if Jimmy Graham is is his version 625 00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: is Russell Wilson's version of Randy Moss, and it turns 626 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson into a statistical dynamo. Is that a crazy thought? Yes, 627 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: because maybe he's Randy Moss and he's first of all, 628 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: he's not Randy Moss. He he gets like a thousand 629 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,720 Speaker 1: yards Jimmy Graham in a good year yards. There's no 630 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: wet Swelker there, you know, there's there is Jermaine Curse 631 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: and Doug Baldwin and a team that wants to run 632 00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: the football and has the greatest defense we've seen in 633 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 1: the last five years, and they just that's not their 634 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: philosophy to throw the ball around like that. So we 635 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,360 Speaker 1: thought he would take a huge leap passing last year. 636 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,560 Speaker 1: It didn't really happen. Yeah, and Brady and Moss weren't 637 00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: breaking records when Corey Dillon was still one of the 638 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 1: best backs in the league and rushing for six hundred 639 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: and something undred yards like Marshawn Lynch does. So I 640 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: think philosophically that wouldn't happen. Surprised we haven't heard anything 641 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: from TV yet, who obviously has an affair going on 642 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. I don't, I would say, though I 643 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: haven't been aboard the whole Sierra relationship. They've got to 644 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: think about how that could impact this fancy before him, 645 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: and he's trying too hard to be delicious. Now, maybe 646 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,160 Speaker 1: he tried to do too much on the football field 647 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: and that could be good for the fantasy numbers. But 648 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: has anybody noticed Tt has never worn a hat before? 649 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: And then we go live on NFL now and he's 650 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: got it like pulled down low, trying to look like 651 00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: usher or something. I thought he was just trolling me, 652 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: but now I just realized he's trying to be cool. 653 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 1: Look how low that well, you don't even need trying 654 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 1: to TD. Trying to be cool just goes unsaid. That's 655 00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 1: pretty much that's what he's trying to look at Literally 656 00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: every photo on his Facebook page, it's always he's always 657 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: like me and mugging for the camera and the ladies 658 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 1: just like, hey, you got I'm not a smiling kind 659 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: of guy. I'm just I don't you know, I'm not Dan. 660 00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: I don't have that, you know, his lovely blue eyes, 661 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: you know, trying to change the subject. Although you're correct, 662 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,800 Speaker 1: class of nine in high school and nice size the 663 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: old zeuser. Uh, West, you're overvalued QB. Dan still has 664 00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: that like frame then, as I do have it pro 665 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 1: over high school, I don't feel like we should not 666 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: frush over that. Well, it is what it is. I 667 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: I want it, and I took home the title and 668 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: it didn't lead to me having a fun time a 669 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 1: prom night. Didn't have much luck in high school with women. 670 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 1: So what does it mean? Didn't help your confidence? Maybe 671 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,480 Speaker 1: it just you would think that it would have maybe 672 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: lad to women be like, oh, I'm going to see 673 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: Dan in a different light. It wasn't until you started 674 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: acting more confidently that they confidence. Listen any any young 675 00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 1: men out there that are worried they don't haven't gotten 676 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: with a lot of girls, or doesn't see my girls 677 00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:14,000 Speaker 1: notice them. It's all about confidence. You gotta believe in 678 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: yourself and that and and t D. We got to 679 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: t V fakes it pretty well. T is great at 680 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:24,319 Speaker 1: faking it. And TD does well with women. Guys talking 681 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: about what West overvalued quarterback a guy being drafted around 682 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,439 Speaker 1: the same place as Russell Wilson, Peyton Manning. You guys 683 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: aren't drafting like two thousand thirteen. Peyton Manning. Here, you're 684 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,680 Speaker 1: drafting a guy who couldn't throw at the end of 685 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,439 Speaker 1: last year, which could be a problem again this year 686 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,239 Speaker 1: when your Fantasy Championship is going on in December with 687 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: strong wins with elements Peyton Manning, can you rely on him? 688 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: Will he be healthy all year? Those are questions, not 689 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: to mention the fact that he's going from a very 690 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 1: past happy offense to Gary Kubias run oriented scheme and 691 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,160 Speaker 1: offense he's never played in before. We have no idea 692 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: how that will happen, but his past attemp are going 693 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: to go down. Well, you said it that the change 694 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: in the offense is always going to be a concern 695 00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: for any quarterback, much less one at his age. And 696 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,480 Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons I don't like Russell Wilson. 697 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: His career high in attempts is four hundred and fifty. 698 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 1: One of the reasons that Peyton Manning is so great 699 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: year after year in Fantasy is he throws six fifty 700 00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: seven hundred passes. I don't think that's gonna happen again 701 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,040 Speaker 1: this year. Maybe that's gonna help him long term, but 702 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,759 Speaker 1: I don't think that will help is to West's point. 703 00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 1: By the way, the last four games of the season. 704 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: I know a lot of teams don't or leagues don't 705 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,879 Speaker 1: play Week seventeen in fantasy, but the last four games 706 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,279 Speaker 1: regular season, three home games at Denver when it's gonna 707 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 1: be freezing in windy and at Pittsburgh in Week fifteen, 708 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: which would be the semifinals in many leagues. I wouldn't 709 00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: draft Peyton Manning in any round. That's just me. But 710 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if you're thinking about taking Peyton Manning 711 00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: a third or fourth rate, it's saying the Broncos had 712 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,600 Speaker 1: the greatest offense in end of all history a couple 713 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 1: of years ago, and yeah, yeah, But the group think 714 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,600 Speaker 1: in one quarterback league where every and is like, oh, 715 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning's done, he's shot, and he's what if he's 716 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: sitting there in the sixth round. I have a philosophy 717 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: that if I don't like a guy, I'm just not 718 00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 1: taking him. Philosophy teaser right. There no connection to the 719 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: theology podcast, which will get to in a few weeks time. 720 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: Let's go with undervalued quarterback. Now we'll start with you, Greg. 721 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,719 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with a guy who last year is 722 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,880 Speaker 1: getting taken right around the same time as Russell Wilson 723 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,800 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick. You want to take a guy who's shown 724 00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: he can do it in fantasy at a high level 725 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: before that gets hear the Russian yards, the free cheap 726 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,360 Speaker 1: fantasy points, and he's getting taken as a mid level backup. 727 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:40,120 Speaker 1: He's got huge upside, big time ceiling for a player 728 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: getting taken in the eleven to the twelfth round. I mean, 729 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: sign me up for some Colin Kaepernick. What are you 730 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,360 Speaker 1: talking about? What do you mean? This guy was getting 731 00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: sacked every other time he dropped back last year. He 732 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 1: loses his Pro Bowl guard, his right tackle, hires. Who's 733 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 1: who's playing offensive line for this guy? Hey? You know 734 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: who else thinks all that? All the lemons out there 735 00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: in fantasy draft, And let's why he's getting taken. So like, 736 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: this guy has running ability out there, He's going to 737 00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: have held Russell Wilson's running ability against him, And now 738 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,239 Speaker 1: you're sighting it. I'm just saying they're a similar type 739 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: of players. Washington, Well, it also could be your Uh, 740 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 1: he's got about the same profile as Wilson, but I 741 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,719 Speaker 1: think he'll throw more passes than Wilson because he's gonna 742 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: need to because he's gonna happen to lesser talent. You 743 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,000 Speaker 1: can't deny that he has a lot of talent in 744 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: that arm and those legs and everything. He has a 745 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:33,680 Speaker 1: lot of strength in that arm. But I don't know 746 00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:35,239 Speaker 1: if he has a lot of talent because he has 747 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,200 Speaker 1: no touch. Take guys coming off of bad years that 748 00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: have done it before. I mean he to me, he 749 00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: has a very high ceiling in fantasy. He has a 750 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: similar ceiling to Cam Newton and Russell Wilson, who are 751 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 1: getting taken way I have. I'm going to throw something 752 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:50,160 Speaker 1: out here in support of Greg's point. I have a 753 00:37:50,239 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: bit of a sessler mm hmm that Berna Davis is 754 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 1: gonna have a nice bounce back season like that. I 755 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: think he's gonna come back refocused. He's gonna do some 756 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,920 Speaker 1: things and that's gonna help Colin Kaepernick. Uh immeasurably. I 757 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,720 Speaker 1: can buy that. It's got some weapons Bolden Davis hide 758 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: Tory Smith. I mean it's not the worst Kaepernick like 759 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,160 Speaker 1: throwing ten feet over Tory Smith's head every all season 760 00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,040 Speaker 1: long on a running loop. They finally found a fast 761 00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 1: receiver that can go. Yeah, they're still chugging down the field. 762 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,839 Speaker 1: You throw it deep, he can't catch up. Crap, crap, 763 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: you can't catch up. That. By the way, that that 764 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,239 Speaker 1: Madden NFL sixteen YouTube video trailer that was released on 765 00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 1: Friday is completely insane. You can check it out on 766 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,960 Speaker 1: the Around the NFL blog and did a quick post 767 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: about it and where Colin Kaepernick plays al Pacino from 768 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,279 Speaker 1: Ascent of a Woman. Uh, it's just insane. I don't 769 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 1: even I don't even know if I liked it or 770 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,759 Speaker 1: if I thought it was funny other than Julio Jones 771 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:58,799 Speaker 1: karate chopping someone literally thirty eight times. They should stick 772 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 1: Tory Smith in the front row of the stands so 773 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: he can catch Kaepernick's pass. Undervalued quarterback Chris Wesley Eli Manning. 774 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,520 Speaker 1: Ah wow, how do you know that this is Fanning 775 00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,960 Speaker 1: Manning for overvalued under back? You know this is free 776 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: money when I'm actually sticking up for Eli Manning. Yeah, 777 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna listen to. The Giants average thirty points 778 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,400 Speaker 1: a game in the last six weeks last season. When 779 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham emerged, they had Reuben Randall. They pick up 780 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,640 Speaker 1: shame Vereen, who's one of the best receiving backs in 781 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,479 Speaker 1: the NFL. Victor Cruz is back. He's a wild card. 782 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:30,479 Speaker 1: Maybe he's good, maybe he's not. But they're averaging thirty 783 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,759 Speaker 1: points a game without him. I'm taking guys this year 784 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: in stacked offenses, and the Giants are one of them. 785 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,640 Speaker 1: I don't even know what to say. I mean, I'm 786 00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: not even mad. That's just amazing. I can't standing up 787 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 1: for Eli Manning. Greg thinks Eli Manning's do for the 788 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 1: wheelchair this season, powered by Odell Beckham. His schedule last 789 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: year where he racked up a lot of those big 790 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 1: numbers were against the worst teams in the league. I 791 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,479 Speaker 1: don't know if you can count on that again. Although 792 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,400 Speaker 1: the end so against better teams will have to pass more. No, 793 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: he'll just be mediocre Eli Manning like he always. I mean, 794 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: if you want to if you want to draft the 795 00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,799 Speaker 1: he's what the thirteenth or fourteenth average draft. I mean, 796 00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 1: if you want to get a value, he draft him 797 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: thirteenth and he comes in tenth. That's what I'm saying 798 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,759 Speaker 1: is Dan made the wrong comparison. You want to talk 799 00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:20,880 Speaker 1: about Randy Moss making Tom Brady, that's Odell Beckham and 800 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,160 Speaker 1: Eli Manning. You've got the best wide receiver in the 801 00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:26,400 Speaker 1: league in Odell Beckham. He's unstoppable. Literally, whatever happened to 802 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,239 Speaker 1: high ceiling guys not taking What I'm saying is the 803 00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 1: Elion Manning is a high ceiling guy. He's gonna throw 804 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: thirty five touchdowns this year because he got Odell Beckham. 805 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: And by the way, are you aware his full name 806 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: is Elisha. I'm not saying, draft Eli Manning like in 807 00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: the fifth round. But while all these other guys are 808 00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 1: drafting Peyton in the fourth hold off and draft Eli 809 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,320 Speaker 1: in like the ninth round. I'm looking at his career 810 00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: where he finished among quarterbacks despite never missing a game, 811 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: which is you know, an asset he's he's never make. 812 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,719 Speaker 1: Somehow is going to use that against him. He's never 813 00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 1: finished the top five ones. Don't get my lunch. Eli 814 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 1: finishes with more more Fantasy points in Payton this year. 815 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 1: I'll take that. Make sure we know that for tier 816 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: or four tier that and by the way, West, every 817 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: great quarterback ever has had a great weapon around him 818 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 1: to make him better. Just basically Randy Moss did that 819 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 1: with every quarterback he ever played for, though I mean 820 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,640 Speaker 1: Tom Brady didn't really for most of his cares. You 821 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 1: know what. The Tom Brady stuff he did become legendary 822 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,279 Speaker 1: as a producer until Randy Moss entered the three Super bowls. Man, 823 00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: Eli man He's won super bowls, super Bowls. Okay, says 824 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots man on the throne of sleeves. All right, 825 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,880 Speaker 1: let's go through some more guys. I'll start out with 826 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,920 Speaker 1: us and Ryan Tannehill got a big, fat contract that 827 00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,839 Speaker 1: pays him like a superstar. Overvalued or undervalued. He's overvalued. 828 00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:48,280 Speaker 1: He's being drafted ahead of Eli Manning. He's been drafted 829 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,200 Speaker 1: ahead of Matthew Stafford. These guys who are gonna be 830 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 1: top five offenses, I believe, the Lions and the Giants. 831 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: Tannehill still Ryan Tannehill. I mean, I don't know if 832 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: he's good yet. I just don't know if he's good. 833 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: You don't draft him as a QB one when don't 834 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: know if he's good. Before the show, I said, properly 835 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 1: valued West, You've swayed me. He is a little too high. 836 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:06,680 Speaker 1: You know. One of the reasons is he plays in 837 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,200 Speaker 1: the a f C East, where he's gonna have to 838 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,200 Speaker 1: go against the Bills and the Jets four times. I 839 00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 1: don't think that helps. I don't think he's vastly overrated, 840 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 1: but he's a little too high. Alright, how about Sam Bradford, 841 00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,480 Speaker 1: Greg he's undervalued. You know. One of my philosophies, I'm 842 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:22,359 Speaker 1: gonna get to, you know, shoot shoot for the moon. 843 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,760 Speaker 1: And I think Sam Bradford could have a monster season. 844 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: He could also get hurt, but it's easy to replace quarterbacks. 845 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 1: To take him as your backup and you might get 846 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:32,800 Speaker 1: a top five, top ten guy. I totally agree that 847 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:34,799 Speaker 1: you shoot for the moon. Love that philosophy. I think 848 00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 1: he's exactly He's being drafted exactly where he should basically 849 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: after all the good quarterbacks who are reliable. He's being 850 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 1: drafted right after Matthew Stafford and Philip Rivers. Rivers is 851 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,600 Speaker 1: a good, reliable quarterback. Sam Bradford should be the best 852 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,480 Speaker 1: of all the flyers, but he's going in like the 853 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,560 Speaker 1: eleven twelfth round, like deep. I mean, I'd rather spend 854 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,360 Speaker 1: two picks on a quarterback in the seventh, in the 855 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,360 Speaker 1: ninth or tenth, like get both of them, get a 856 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,759 Speaker 1: good backup like Bradford, and if you and then in 857 00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:00,960 Speaker 1: the back of your draft, maybe you grab Mark Sanchez. 858 00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,239 Speaker 1: I totally agree with that. With your last pick in 859 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: the draft, take Mark Sanchez because if he starts, he's 860 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:09,400 Speaker 1: a QB one. Alright, Matt Ryan, Chris Westling, we know. 861 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,839 Speaker 1: I know where um Mr Rosenthal will go with us. 862 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: He loves his boy Matt Ryan. But what about you, 863 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,919 Speaker 1: slightly undervalued? I I think he could throw for five 864 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,000 Speaker 1: thousand yards and over thirty TVs with Kyle Shanahan. And 865 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,319 Speaker 1: I think Julio Jones is just gonna go nuts this year, 866 00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:26,399 Speaker 1: so I like, I don't think they have a strong 867 00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: running game either. Are gonna have to pass a lot. 868 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,360 Speaker 1: They have a bad defense. I think Matt Ryan posts 869 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,960 Speaker 1: some numbers this year. Our friend Evan Silva thinks he's 870 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: very overrated. I don't get that because he hasn't really 871 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: done it numbers wise a lot. But I think this 872 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,360 Speaker 1: would be the year that he does. M We should 873 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 1: get Evan Silva on the show. We should. Wow, what 874 00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: a missed opportunity during Fantasy Extravaganza week. You know you 875 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,200 Speaker 1: can rot a girl rotal world. Guys gotta look out 876 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,239 Speaker 1: for each other. Well, I have him on. There'll be 877 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,359 Speaker 1: plenty of chances to have Evan Silva, and he can 878 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:58,040 Speaker 1: talk about anything. Really. Yeah. I've always said nobody writing 879 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 1: about football knows as much in in as many different 880 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,080 Speaker 1: areas as even Silver a renaissance matter. If he can 881 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:06,279 Speaker 1: do your draft, he can do your fantasy. He can 882 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 1: do your laundry, game tape and your laundry. I won't 883 00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,160 Speaker 1: ask him to do that. All right, speed round time. 884 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: Let's go through four more qbs. Let's start with a 885 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: little Teddy Bridge wear a one point each guy's keep 886 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 1: it tight. Undervalued. I love him as a quarterback, but 887 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 1: not as a fantasy guy. He's overvalued. That's what That's 888 00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 1: what I meant, overvalued, exact same reason they're going to 889 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,240 Speaker 1: hand the ball off to Adrian Peterson as their offense 890 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 1: this year. How about Philip Rivers? Undervalued? I think that 891 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 1: often is gonna be a lot better this year. Got 892 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,480 Speaker 1: Stevie Johnson, you gotta improve Keenan Allen. You've got a 893 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:38,759 Speaker 1: rookie who stutter steps every time he approaches the line. 894 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,239 Speaker 1: Get guaranteed for four thousand yards. Why do we think 895 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,120 Speaker 1: that Keenan Ellen's improved? Well, just from what I've listen 896 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:48,080 Speaker 1: to the Move the Sticks podcast, and he said that 897 00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen looks fantasic. What is that? Way? You're not 898 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,680 Speaker 1: even bring up something that I have heard of? How 899 00:44:53,800 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: about Andy Dalton? West? Ye boy? Way undervalue this? S undervalue? 900 00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 1: This is a ridiculous thing. But I just realized what 901 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:08,239 Speaker 1: West is doing. He's covering all his bases. Here's these 902 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,279 Speaker 1: guys are in loaded offenses. Who's got better weapons than 903 00:45:11,320 --> 00:45:14,120 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton? He had thirty three touchdowns and forty yards 904 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,320 Speaker 1: two years ago. He's not a good NFL quarterback, but 905 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,439 Speaker 1: he can be a good Here's what he is. Don't 906 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:23,080 Speaker 1: care valued Sandy Dalton. Finally, Jamis Winston, the rookie number 907 00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 1: one pick in Tampa more just about more over value 908 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 1: than anybody on this list. I mean, why are you 909 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: taking him ahead of guys like Andy Dalton, who has 910 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,000 Speaker 1: had a thirty three touchdown season. Jamis Winston's gonna have 911 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,040 Speaker 1: a horrible offensive line. Put up some numbers though, why 912 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,399 Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't know. That's the speed round. Guys. 913 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,960 Speaker 1: Good work. Anybody's listening. If you mess up your quarterback pick, now, 914 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 1: you're an idiot because we gave you everything, and why 915 00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: can't you just listen to us and act as you're told. 916 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. I mean, I apologize 917 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 1: to everyone, just I don't know what that was a big, 918 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 1: big where West is honking for Eli Manning and Andy Daltons. 919 00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: All right, let's let's finish now. We'll wrap up the 920 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: fantasy extravaganza with our draft philosophies and we'll give three each. Uh, 921 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,719 Speaker 1: you know, just get him out nice and tight. Let 922 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: us know something to go through. Uh keep in mind, 923 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,480 Speaker 1: and draft day will start with you. Greg Rosenthal. All right, 924 00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,720 Speaker 1: you gotta start this year by taking your wide receivers early. 925 00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:28,560 Speaker 1: I just think that they're much safer bets in the 926 00:46:28,640 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: first three, four or five rounds. Just keep taking wide 927 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,760 Speaker 1: receivers early. Get that apostrophe off the screen. Oh my gosh. 928 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: My other my second point draft for upside in high ceilings, 929 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,640 Speaker 1: especially late in the draft. Always take a chance. Take 930 00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,880 Speaker 1: boom er bus guys. Get as many booms as you can. 931 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 1: Don't pick safe guys. And then my other thing, pick 932 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: guys that have done it before, like Colin Kaepernick coming 933 00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,839 Speaker 1: off bad years. It's a stock market. Pick the guys 934 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,320 Speaker 1: who struggled a little bit last year, like Mike Wallace, 935 00:46:58,440 --> 00:47:00,480 Speaker 1: who have done it before. I'm gonna have a fourth 936 00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,840 Speaker 1: tip to Dan, fill out your lineup before the games 937 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: start on Sunday. That's always a problem for you. I'm 938 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,759 Speaker 1: just I'm serious. That's always proud. You always shop, you like, 939 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: oh I forgot to change my lineup. Okay, thank you 940 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 1: very much. Up next, am I doing mind? Or is 941 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 1: it West? Alright? West? Your draft philosophies, you'll have all these. 942 00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:20,720 Speaker 1: You know that there's no such thing as an expert 943 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,640 Speaker 1: in fantasy football, but you'll have always so called experts 944 00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,279 Speaker 1: and people like Greg Rosenthal telling you which round to 945 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,600 Speaker 1: draft a certain position. Don't pay them any attention at all. 946 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,640 Speaker 1: Just keep drafting the best player in every round. There'll 947 00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,720 Speaker 1: be a name of jumps off your cheat sheet. Draft 948 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,640 Speaker 1: that guy who jumps off your cheat sheet. Don't do 949 00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 1: this zero running back strategy or you can't take a 950 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,040 Speaker 1: quarterback or have a strategy. Don't have a strategy other 951 00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:44,200 Speaker 1: than drafting the best player. I don't know why. That's 952 00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,560 Speaker 1: a confused point. Second thing, don't don't draft a talent 953 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,279 Speaker 1: that you can get off the waiver wire, a guy 954 00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:53,320 Speaker 1: whose talent level is that low, Like, don't draft a 955 00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Three, just don't even draft them. You get 956 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,160 Speaker 1: draft a bunch of flyers, lighting or draft who are 957 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,000 Speaker 1: talented and have a has to be good. He could 958 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,960 Speaker 1: pick up a waiver wire guy off the for a 959 00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,279 Speaker 1: wide receiver three every week of the year. Don't draft 960 00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:10,440 Speaker 1: Joke Bell, He's not that talented. Yeah, draft a Mirp 961 00:48:10,480 --> 00:48:12,600 Speaker 1: Doll is a special talent. Don't draft an ordinary guy 962 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,759 Speaker 1: like Joke Bell. Don't you have Danny Woodhead just because 963 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,640 Speaker 1: he catches sixty passes and gets like eight yards On 964 00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,239 Speaker 1: your third point, this is a hobby. Don't get in 965 00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 1: it to make money play the stock market. If you 966 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:25,840 Speaker 1: want to make money, have fun. Follow your gut feelings. 967 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 1: Your gut feelings are there for a reason. Because you're 968 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,400 Speaker 1: well read, you're knowledgeable. You watch film, you listen to 969 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:33,359 Speaker 1: this podcast, you develop a gut feeling. Trust your gut. 970 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,200 Speaker 1: If you've got a Monday night football decision, play the 971 00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 1: guy you want to watch. Don't draft your stable of boys, 972 00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:44,520 Speaker 1: draft your own in your bedroom. And finally, the old 973 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:48,200 Speaker 1: Zeuser's draft philosophies, and I'll start with do not overload 974 00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,960 Speaker 1: or this maybe it stands in contrast with you just 975 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 1: said West. Don't overlord or reach from players from your 976 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:57,799 Speaker 1: own favorite team. You can to me, there's too much 977 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,160 Speaker 1: riding on it. Then if you if you're in my case, 978 00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:03,239 Speaker 1: I'll say Brandon Marshall rasor Marshall stinks it out, then 979 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,480 Speaker 1: not only is my fantasy team doomed, so is my 980 00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 1: favorite team. So just keep them separate. Number two, if 981 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,160 Speaker 1: you're the first to take a defense in your fantasy draft, 982 00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,480 Speaker 1: stop you messed up, you blew it. Let somebody else 983 00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,000 Speaker 1: do it, and let somebody else take that defense. And 984 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 1: then because whatever the the guy that inevitably takes the 985 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,640 Speaker 1: defense in the seventh round or something, he always regrets it. 986 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,920 Speaker 1: And finally, don't get bombed. A lot of people have 987 00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:31,759 Speaker 1: these drafts where they all get together, they get turned up, 988 00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, what happens halfway through 989 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,160 Speaker 1: the draft or making mistakes they're laughing at off like, oh, 990 00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,160 Speaker 1: I don't even know who this guy was. That guy 991 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: never wins the league. So if you're gonna drink and 992 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 1: and and you you know, get that b A C up, 993 00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 1: then wait until afterwards and down. Yeah exactly. So you're 994 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,399 Speaker 1: trying to tell people to turn down the drinks und 995 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 1: you can only get this advice from Dan Handas. But 996 00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,920 Speaker 1: we still got a little more advice. A little surprise. 997 00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,840 Speaker 1: We're gonna get some advice from our producer. T D. 998 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,440 Speaker 1: You've got a philosophy. I haven't playing Fantacy for three 999 00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 1: years one two chapter, three years and Fantasy Live and 1000 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: pass you on the head. My my philosophy is, first stuff, 1001 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,799 Speaker 1: you gotta go young to look for young quarterback. Rookie 1002 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacks their favorite targets. That's a safe blanket. That is ridiculous, 1003 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 1: is not young? Can I go on my list? Please? 1004 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 1: Number two be your only man man. Don't solict the 1005 00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,880 Speaker 1: fancy advice, listen to anything that was said. Just go 1006 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,960 Speaker 1: with your got like West was saying, when you win, 1007 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,520 Speaker 1: you want to have that that that pride that you 1008 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:31,719 Speaker 1: did on your own. And lastly, it's a passing league 1009 00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 1: playing the PPR league, Guys, all that other stuff forget. 1010 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 1: It's playing the PPR. You want to give points for 1011 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,759 Speaker 1: past attempts to hey, might as well. You don't get 1012 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,839 Speaker 1: points for catching a pass if you have another. Don't 1013 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:48,719 Speaker 1: follow young Kobe's drafting. Yeah everything, guys do the opposite. 1014 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:53,440 Speaker 1: We're kidding t D. They were good except for the 1015 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:56,520 Speaker 1: first one. Come on, I'm just saying, young quarter that's 1016 00:50:56,640 --> 00:51:01,120 Speaker 1: like the worst advice tight ends. Yeah, that's terrible. You've 1017 00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:05,040 Speaker 1: only been in three leagues, two championships with the Fantasy 1018 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,240 Speaker 1: Live producers, you can't argue at that one.
