1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 1: Fantasy freak, sink Geeks, whatsap. If you're listening to the

2
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: NFL Fanacy Live podcast, James co here with you got

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: a big time show in front of us here today,

4
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: joined alongside by the great Adam Rank. What's up? What's

5
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: happening man? I'm excited. Yeah, so many good things are happening. Well,

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: it's not only cool things happening with the NFL, with

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: the free agency of March madness. Hello, you got spring training?

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: I think as a sports fan, I don't know if

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: there's a better time. Well, right now is the hopeful season?

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: Right because the nt double a tournament, Uh, instills a

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: lot of hope. Where the spring training it's still a

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: lot of hope. Free agency in the NFL instills a

13
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: lot of hope. So it's the hope season, uh in

14
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 1: sports right now? It really is. And the Bachelor's over,

15
00:00:56,680 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: so there's a lot of hope there. Oh man. They

16
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: got contentiously. It got so contentious at my house because

17
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: my wife, Rosie McGee was on. It was in one

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: camp and then her best friend and I were in

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: a different camp, and it got like you it was

20
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: like watching I'm relatively confident you can give spoilers on

21
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: this topic. She was I don't think the cross section

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: of Batchelor. But now my wife liked Ashley or Vanessa

23
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: or whoever it was who won, and her best friend

24
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: and I were Team Raven. But you know what, I'll

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: get to her. She deserves one. Oh, if you're looking

26
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: to that, if you are looking forward to anything in

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: today's podcast, it will be out of prinx. You know what.

28
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: Somebody will, I guarantee you, and then you're gonna have

29
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: to sit there and deal with it. In your mentions, MG,

30
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: my god, Marcus Grant, what's up? You talk about the

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: season of hope? I mean the the Mighty Mighty Trojans

32
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: are playing a playing game the tournament. So by the

33
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: time you listen to this, we could either have moved

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: on or our basketball season could be done. But I

35
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: will say of this that around South central Los Angeles

36
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: not very not very often that we get excited about

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: this time of year. That's a very good point. By

38
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: the way, go Cal Bears. Uh, not only do we

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: get nixed from the n C Double A Tournament, then

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: we host Cal State Bakersfield and loose in the n

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I t man. I mean the Mighty Roadrunners were good.

42
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: Those those mighty, those mighty road Runners. Man not which,

43
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: by the way, as an A side. This is an

44
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,959
Speaker 1: Adam rank like Tangent. But uh, Cal State Bakersfield. I

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: don't know the name of the conference, but they play

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: in the shack. It's not the Whack they are they

47
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: in the whack. N Yes, I think they're okay, well

48
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: maybe light. But they used to play in the same

49
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: conference as Cal State San Bernardino, which with the Coyotes.

50
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: So I always loved at the Coyotes and Roadrunners. That's

51
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: pretty good. Played each other's back when Baco was D two.

52
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: That's true. That's back when they had a D two.

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: These are not a Division two. I don't think that

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: because it's a pacifics like Division two. I think they're

55
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: like an ai A or something. Now. Anyways, wis Kid

56
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: from Wiscon, what's up. I'm excited for the show today.

57
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: Go March bands. Markt is in the tournaments. Since we're

58
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: talking about March Madness. Hell, we do have a great

59
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 1: show to this division. We got some good news, We've

60
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 1: got an amazing special guest, and I think Daily Depps well,

61
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: I mean Ranks already tipped his hand, But I think

62
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: we'll have some good Stuff's just one of many. One

63
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: of we, of course, are gonna have daily depths. We

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: always closed out the show with that. We're gonna make

65
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: a call into the wild. We will ask Matt Harmon

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: why he's beefing with us. If we get him, he

67
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: might he might avoid this call, you know, because he's

68
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: sing with us. But if I know one thing about

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon, he will not deny your time for himself.

70
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: That's true. So he knows it's strong. Uh, that conundrum.

71
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: A call on Friday after or excuse me, a Wednesday

72
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: afternoon around that noon ish time. He he knows, he

73
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: knows what that? What else is he doing? I don't know.

74
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: We are going to talk extensively. Bold State is number

75
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: one in the n c A A Division two poles. Fabulous.

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: That's softball. Though Evan Silva from Rhodo World will be

77
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: joining the program. First time we've had Evan Silva on

78
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: and really excited to talk to him. We're gonna he

79
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: just wrote a gigantic piece on free agency winners and

80
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: losers from a fantasy perspective. I'd love to get his

81
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: analysis on what has happened in the NFL off season.

82
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: We will and we will as well. But we begin

83
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: every show like we always do, with your top headlines,

84
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: the camera highlights in the world of sport, freaking breaking news, breaking.

85
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: They continue to follow breaking news. Your wife, all right,

86
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy signed with the Seahawks. It's a one year

87
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: deal reportedly worth five point five five million dollars. Three

88
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: million of that is guaranteed. He apparently reportedly weighed about

89
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: a million pounds. Sixty seven is the alleged report. I

90
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: thought it was sixty eight cares. What does it mean

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 1: for Thomas Rawls and c J pro Sise. By the way,

92
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: there apparently are some serious um weight contract restrictions. I

93
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: don't know how to put this weight clas weight clause

94
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: in his contract. Did that come out after the interesting

95
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: and just very interesting as well. I mean, that would

96
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: explain why his deal was three million guaranteed up to

97
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: five point five So there's that's a that's a hefty

98
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: chunk of change, if that's word choice pour on my part,

99
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 1: and chunk one that is sizeable amount of honey he

100
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: had for him to stay in real beefy, real real

101
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: beefy contract, you know, And it was fitting that he

102
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: signed on pie Day three point three point one four

103
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: for those that mary, But let's let's focus on Seattle

104
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: first and then we'll go to green Bay. But for

105
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawls, I would imagine for c J. Process, it

106
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: doesn't make that much of a difference because process is

107
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: more of that change pace, passing down guy. But for

108
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 1: Thomas Rawles, boy, this is bad news. Well, I think

109
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 1: they you know, they're they're an organization that has always

110
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 1: wanted competition and also like they love the physicality of Rawles.

111
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: But he hasn't held up very well to that physical nature.

112
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: He's been dinged up every year he's been there. And

113
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: Lacey is a guy that and Pete Carroll wanted him.

114
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 1: Apparently was reported that he was the number one running

115
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: back on Seattle's board the year green Bay took them,

116
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: took Lacey one pick before Seattle chose Kristen Michael instead.

117
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: So Pete Carroll loves a physical back. He loves imposing

118
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: a back that can impose his will. And when Eddie

119
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: Lacey is healthy and in shape, that's something we haven't

120
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: seen in three years. Uh, he is that type of runner.

121
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Mike Clay actually just tweeted this out a second ago,

122
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: that fifty two running backs have three plus carry since

123
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy entered the league. In his two point one

124
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: five yards after contact ranks second in the league behind

125
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: can you guess who? Yes, So it makes sense why

126
00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: they would want to get him. Obviously, the weight closes

127
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, and I mean, Raws could potentially

128
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: beat him out. But you you'd have to imagine that,

129
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: given Lacey's injuries and history, that they wouldn't commit three

130
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: million dollars to him if they didn't expect him to

131
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: perform at least from one year. Dent disagree. We're talking

132
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: about a franchise. That's saying. Matt Flynn, another former Green

133
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: big guy, to a huge contract and then literally mid

134
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: season was like, no, it's cool, We're going to dump yet. Well,

135
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: because they they preach that, they preach competition though, and

136
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson actually beat him out. And that's what I'm

137
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: saying that why why I worry about Eddie Lacey. They

138
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: brought they did. They didn't pay Flynn that money though

139
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: to expect him to lose the competition. They brought him

140
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: in believing in him. Wilson just turned out to be

141
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: a transcendent player. All I'm saying is that Seattle don't

142
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: care about the money man. They're willing to burn that cash.

143
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: They don't care about that cash at all. Well, they

144
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: don't care. They don't care if somebody beats out somebody

145
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: else who's made that of course, of course, but they're

146
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: not They don't care about the cash and a willing

147
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: and the fashion where they're just gonna be like, oh whatever, well,

148
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, we'll cut you air. We don't, we don't

149
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: care anything like that. Somebody still has to beat him out, yes,

150
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: And and Lacy, if he if he there's a huge

151
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: ifs gets healthy and stays in shape, I think he

152
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: could he could be decent thing. I mean, I think

153
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: I feel like this free agent period so far is

154
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: reinforcing the idea that running backs have been devalued across

155
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: the NFL, which is really causing a problem fantasy wise.

156
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: And if you look at the fact that Seattle suddenly

157
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 1: has a handful of running backs to choose from, and

158
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: we talk about roles and process and Lacy, I mean,

159
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: what Alex Collins is still on the roster. There's still

160
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: a few other guys back there. You go to New England.

161
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Go across the country to New England where they have

162
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: like elevanteen running backs there on that roster. Now, um,

163
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: teams are gonna start rotating guys through and you're gonna

164
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: see guys playing different roles, not necessarily being the traditional

165
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 1: running back, maybe working out of the slot and doing

166
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: different little things. Uh. That's great for offenses, that's great

167
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: for quarterbacks. That's terrible for us. That is absolutely trying

168
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: to figure out how these guys are gonna fit in,

169
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: what their role is going to be. And the fact is,

170
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: if you, you know, you do something to draw the

171
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: ire of a coach, you're just not producing. What have you? Um,

172
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: you can be? Football disappeared very quickly in this situation.

173
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: I know what kind of role at A Lacy is

174
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: going to be in Cinnamon? That was too easy? You

175
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: should throw that one back. Why can't I take the easy? Well,

176
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm really not. Application denied. Application denied. Uh,

177
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: let's focus on green Bay that in the Stanford I

178
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: will reach across this and choke you today. I'm just saying,

179
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: Alex Kalhard, what does it mean for green Bay? I mean,

180
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: obviously it opens up a hole here Marcus Grant talking

181
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: about Hey, listen, there's so much mass confusion at the

182
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: running back position. There seems to be a lot of clearly, now,

183
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. While there are elevanteen running backs

184
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: in New England England's roster, there is currently on Green

185
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: Bays not even a traditional running wide receiver, and that's

186
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: Time Montgomery. I belief Don Jackson is a restricted rights

187
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: free agents and uh, they have Aaron Ripkowski, as people

188
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: on Twitter we're quick to point out to me. But

189
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: what this does is it makes running back a clear

190
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 1: need for the Packers, and I would expect them to

191
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: take somebody else in the draft, if not two people,

192
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: and form some type of committee with Time Montgomery. They

193
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: believe in him, they're ready that you know, they switched

194
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: to running back last year. He's doing it. I was

195
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: remembering some of his better some of his better games,

196
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: like he's a dynamic player, and uh, who knows that

197
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: they'll they'll probably take somebody in the draft when that

198
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: remains to be seen. I wouldn't expect them to take

199
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: somebody in the first, probably second to fourth round and

200
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: be my guest, but I got a lot of needs

201
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: on that defensive side. And what is a very deep defensive.

202
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: They will be adding a running back though, but for now,

203
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: it makes time Montgomery a nice guy to look at.

204
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: Maybe by low in some dynasty leagues, or if you're

205
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: drafting in Best Ball Leagues MFL tens, you could probably

206
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: get him in a bit of a discount. All right,

207
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: we'll stay in Green Bay. Mortell has Bennett signed with

208
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: the Packers. The deal actually I don't have the contract details,

209
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 1: but it was a very reasonable contract, a one year

210
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: deal right free for twitter one reef for one. So

211
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: Martella's Bennett. Now uh is in Green Bay. And then

212
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 1: they go around twenty four hours later, then they go

213
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: and signed Lance Kendricks as well to a very modest deal. Obviously,

214
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: Jared Cook goes bye bye. But can I get the

215
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: emotional roller coaster of Alex Gilhart during this time period,

216
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: there was a lot going on on Friday because for

217
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: years I talked about too how this Packers team needed

218
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: a presence in the middle and like a seam stretching

219
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: tight end with some speed. Richard Rodgers and no, he's

220
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: Cal's a good, great guy. Caught that hell Marry and stuff.

221
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: He's not. He doesn't have the speed though he doesn't

222
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: have the speed. He doesn't he can't beat anybody in

223
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: a flat road to the outside. He doesn't beat people

224
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: up the middle a lot. And Jared Cook I had

225
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: thought was going to be relatively cheap, but apparently he

226
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: priced himself right out of Green Bay. So first that

227
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: surprises me zero percent. Well yeah, that that didn't. But

228
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: so I should have just taken a moment to trust Heed.

229
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: But like that, they went from there like they're not

230
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: gonna sign Jared Cook. I'm like, what are you doing now?

231
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: I was like, they're gonna have to because I thought

232
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: Martella's been it wore on well, I was going through

233
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: everything I thought. I thought Martell's spenn it was going

234
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: be too expensive. So then I'm like, oh, great, now

235
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna spend like a first or second round pick

236
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: on a tight end like Ted never is active during

237
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: never active in free agents. So you were thinking Martellis

238
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: was even I didn't and I thought he was gonna

239
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,719
Speaker 1: be too expensive. Then I then I find out that

240
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: they signed Martelli's Bennett for less than Jared Cook wanted,

241
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: And I look like a darn fool on Twitter. But

242
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: now I'm excited because one the Packers got a great

243
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: tight end. Uh, they've got a fun personality, as we

244
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: can already test it. He said, uh, what what was

245
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: his quote on the Packers offense? They asked him what

246
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: he can what he can bring to the Packers offense.

247
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: He said, quote, I can do a lot of blank

248
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: blank a four letter word that starts with us. So

249
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited. And then fantasy wise, we've got ourselves another

250
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: tight end one in in fantasy like, Yeah, I had

251
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: a couple of people coming at me on Twitter when

252
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: I was talking about how they're like you said, Jared

253
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,199
Speaker 1: Cook was going to be a good fit in the

254
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Packers offense, and I'm like he was when he was

255
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: healthy and like back in the swing of things that

256
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: we saw in the playoffs and at times late last season.

257
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: So he put a guy like Martelli Spenn in there.

258
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: He's not as fast as as Cook, but he's a

259
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: savvier veteran and a more consistent overall players. So I'm

260
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: extremely excited about it all around. You know what I

261
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: really like about the signing too. He's a smart player

262
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: and this Green Bay offense requires guys uh to really

263
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, dive into that playbook. The reason I think

264
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: that he will fit in will not only because of

265
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: a skill set, but also the fact that he picked

266
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: up New England's playbook so incredibly fast. Because remember he's

267
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: just stepped in week one and was their starter and

268
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: was productive. I think he stepped into this role into

269
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: all that target share. Oh my goodness, I will say

270
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: he give me some of that here. I asked the

271
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 1: next ing Stats team for some numbers on these two

272
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: to to figure out the difference, and that the next

273
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: stats numbers kind of speak to that difference. Well, Jared

274
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,959
Speaker 1: Cook's the better athlete. His high speed in sen was

275
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: nineteen point one seven miles per hour. Marty b only

276
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: hit eighteen point oh six. Jared Cook's was the eleventh

277
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: fastest reached by a tight end is ball carrier. Bennett

278
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 1: was the forty three fastest. However, However, on the average

279
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: separation at target, Bennett had a whole half yard more

280
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: than Jared, so knowing his routes, knowing how to set

281
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: stuff up, it's probably part of the New England offense

282
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: a little, but he was better able to use his

283
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: size and speed and ability to get open more often

284
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: than Cook was. Yeah, this isn't even a contest. He's

285
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: such a I mean, whatever the measurables are and all

286
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: that stuff, like he is just a much better football player.

287
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: And you talk about Jared Cook's being heard all the time.

288
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: Marty b has played in sixteen games and four of

289
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: his last five seasons. Even the one year that he

290
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 1: was dinged up for the Bears, he still played in eleven.

291
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: So I don't think that there's any there's like no

292
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: concern with him, Like he's not gonna miss time. He's

293
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: a good teammate. I mean, he hated Cutler, but whatever

294
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: that that surfaced after he left, and I'm sure you

295
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: know I don't even get it or whatever. By the way,

296
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: you bring up a good point, though, he's got two

297
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: games now where he's gonna legit have revenge, not because

298
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: not because Cutler is not on the team anymore. Was

299
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: he pissed at Mike Lennon, He's probably I gotta get

300
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: back at Jordan Howard. You're telling me you're not gonna

301
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: get excited from Martell's Bennett versus the Bears. You're legitimately

302
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: telling well, you like martellis well, you know what, let

303
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: me let me follow, let me utter. But I still

304
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: like let me go to the revenge expert in Marcus Crane.

305
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: You're telling me you're not gonna get excited for Martella's Bennett.

306
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: Uh those two games against Chicago come on now? Oh? Absolutely?

307
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: Although I feel like with Martella's Bennett, um, it can

308
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: go either way. Either he really comes out and he

309
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: wants revenge or he's like, yeah whatever, you know, I

310
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: got some children's books now, so I'm good, right. I mean,

311
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, Marty be God love him, and he is

312
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: preparing for his life after football. It's without a doubt,

313
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: and so like I think he I feel like he's

314
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: kind of the same guy every week. He's kind of

315
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: that you know, sort of goofy, kind of fun loving.

316
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: You know, he gets out there and he does this thing.

317
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: I just know that the moment it was announced, I

318
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: loved every little bit of this deal. Every bit, every

319
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: little bit of this deal. From a fantasy versy, I'm

320
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: absolutely pretty It's stupid though. It wasn't like another team

321
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: he could have gone to. Yeah, maybe he could have

322
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: resound with the Bears. You're saying, No, I don't think

323
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: he would have wanted to go back. We got Zach Miller.

324
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: How often though, do you leave Tom Brady and not

325
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: fall in that face. They fall off at quarterback zero.

326
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: He's going from one of the most likable quarterbacks in

327
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: the NFL too. That's uhcate. In Pittsburgh, the Steelers were

328
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: hoping rest would be all that Levian Bell would need

329
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: for his ailien growing, but alas it was not. Levian

330
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: Bell underwent surgery Monday to repair what is diagnosed what

331
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: was originally diagnosed as a sports hernia injury. It's anticipated

332
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 1: that he will be good to go for the Steelers

333
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: offseason workouts. You know, obviously it's important news. Um It's

334
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: it's damp in somewhat by the fact that you know,

335
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: he says he's gonna be ready for the offseason workouts,

336
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: which is super early, uh in that process. But I'll

337
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: throw it out to you, Alex galehard just given you

338
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: know his extensive injury history, is this just another little

339
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a flag that we should you know,

340
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: keep it, keep a track of this. This doesn't worry

341
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 1: me that much just because there is the risk. But

342
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: we also know that like even David Johnson might not

343
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: be able to reach like peak Levy on Bell set

344
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: week to week ceiling in fantasy. So you understand that

345
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: that he might get nicked up, but it's still a

346
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: top three pick in your mind. Still a top three

347
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: pick in the mind. Right, I'm just getting the temperature

348
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,680
Speaker 1: of the room. Ye, anyone concerned I mean with with

349
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: a cuming out of the studio this offseason? Probably problem,

350
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: maybe tap I mean, if he can't drop any firebars,

351
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: then you know, maybe I'm concerned. Yeah, But there's like,

352
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: he's okay, he's not great. What's his handle? Juice? Juice,

353
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: He's hurt all the time, he's suspended, he suspended her

354
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: hurt every year and not inaccurate, by the way. What's

355
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: that that's not inaccurate by the way? Thank you? Um,

356
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: Like the top three running backs, two of them now

357
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: have because Ezekiel Elliott's off the field behaviors or they

358
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: have to be a little bit of a worrisome trend.

359
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: And uh, it seems like David Johnson, Okay, I have

360
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: no I have no concerns with him. But now when

361
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: I'm looking at my drafts and if I've been the

362
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: two hole, and let's just assume David Johnson's going number one,

363
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: It's like, do I necessarily want to go with one

364
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: of those running backs because it seems obvious, like of

365
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: course you'd want to go with those guys. But yeah,

366
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 1: really like I go Dell Beckham Jr. You're gonna go

367
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: back to a B. No, no, no, I think the

368
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: one Antonio Brown has been so great over the last

369
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: four years that it asked that it can't keep us

370
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: sending you know what I'm saying. Interesting, it's not like

371
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 1: he's it's not like he's a third year player. Like

372
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: he's been in the league for a while. I can't

373
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: imagine he's continuing to ascend when there's other guys. So

374
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: you want to buy that O b J. Upside Yeah,

375
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the guy who's going up. It's honestly,

376
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: guy who's going down. Ob J. Maybe Julio Maybe Julio.

377
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, I don't know if I would

378
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 1: take him second overall, maybe third, Dude, Mike Evans, it's

379
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: going to have such a monster season. That's upside your

380
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: by Well know what. That's that And that's why if

381
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm like later in the first or whatever, I'm taking

382
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 1: him to whatever, I'll take him. Yeah, the Maverick. I

383
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 1: have no problem with the Maverick speaks. Did I just

384
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: hear that correctly? Yes? He did. He did Mike Evans too. Overall,

385
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: I mean, lock it up. It's it's a slightly outside

386
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: the box stop. But I don't think it's crazy. It's not.

387
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: It's not jump off a cliff was about to fall

388
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: out of his chair. I mean, as long as I

389
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 1: sold it to behind the glass, as long as you're

390
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: not taking Mike Evans in the fifth round, I think

391
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: we're all gonna be fine. If so, if he falls

392
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: to you in the fifth round, my god, you can't

393
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 1: do that. I really hope you know what. I figured

394
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: out who I'm taking in the fifth round. Okay, Mark,

395
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: tell Us Bennett? How dare you? Dar? Tell Us Bennett round?

396
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: Don't even do it. It's there's two guys you're not

397
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: allowed to touch in the fifth book. It's you can't touch.

398
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: I was trying to think of who the perfect packer

399
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: was gonna be to take in the fifth round, and

400
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: I knew that, Well, Aaron Rodgers has the ability in

401
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: that league, in that NFL fantasy league. Uh, Aaron Rodgers

402
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: could follow the fifth round on hipsters or look good,

403
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't even drive to quarterback. You know what I mean,

404
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: what would I want this guy? Um? Yeah, so okay,

405
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 1: but Marty b okay, let's put it. I hadn't locked

406
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: that one up. Please don't please put it in the vault.

407
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to talk you off of that one.

408
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 1: For sure, I'm doing it. Rex Burkehead signed to the

409
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 1: Patriots because obviously, dude, the Patriots now have more white

410
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: dudes than the Three eleven Parts. Even waiting all day

411
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: to get that one in, haven't you I slacked that one?

412
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: I almost tweeted that I wasn't even know. I didn't

413
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: know if we were going to go there. But really,

414
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: you you always you alluded to even Ian rapping. Even

415
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport was getting into the I was gonna do it,

416
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,360
Speaker 1: and then Ian Rappaports came onto the timeline and I'm like,

417
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's not a he's not a joke smith.

418
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: He is not. I'm gonna let him have that. Let

419
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 1: him have that. Look, I'm just more upset because the

420
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: Patriots went out and got another darn good football player,

421
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: and it's like, come on, other teams, pay pay attention,

422
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: like what are you doing how? Because of course Rex

423
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 1: Burkhead is going to be the running back free agents

424
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: signed before Adrian Peterson and Jamal Charles. This is a

425
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 1: crazy world we live in right now. I mean, look,

426
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: he's a good player. He's a fairly young player. He

427
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of trend or a lot of

428
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of wear on abd um one year.

429
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: It's one year, which is which is sort of odd

430
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 1: because now you've got you know, James White Deano was

431
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: both expected to be free agents after that next season,

432
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 1: Maddy not resigned him to a one who knows Rex

433
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: Burkhead is is a one year deal. Um, this this

434
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 1: is None of this is precluding the Patriots from going

435
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: out and drafting Christian McCaffrey. Like, but I love when

436
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,239
Speaker 1: I love they're just leaning into their brand. Okay, Like

437
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta love with somebody just leans into

438
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: it like that. And good on them for knowing what

439
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: their brand is and leaning into it. Oh my no,

440
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: it's uh it's a good move. But there's though, I mean,

441
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a good football, real life football move.

442
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: But for fantasy purposes, this is a that's awful. But

443
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: but for for football. The one thing that I I

444
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: want to appreciate about the New England Patriots, and I

445
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: was gonna save this for depths. But since we're talking

446
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: about them right now, is that they're they're playing to win.

447
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: Like you you see teams sell out to win championships,

448
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: like remember when the Florida Marlins brought in an all

449
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: star team won the World, you know, and there's other

450
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: teams like the Lakers at one point brought in Karl

451
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: Malone and Gary Payton, which thankfully didn't work out because

452
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,480
Speaker 1: as a Lakers fan, like I've seen enough championships in

453
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: my lifetime that I was happy that neither one of

454
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: those jerks. One wild I thought was great. Um, But

455
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: they're making these kind of moves that you would see

456
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: like oh my gosh, our windows closing. You would think

457
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: that a team that has five Super Bowl wins over

458
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: the last fifteen sixteen years would be like, you know,

459
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: we're cool. But they're like, no, no, no no, We're to

460
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: still try to get as much out of this run

461
00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: as possible. And they're just signing great football players, guys

462
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: who fit their system. And for fantasy enthusiast, we're gonna

463
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: sit there, We're gonna bemoan it. Uh. But as a

464
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 1: fan of the game, I really enjoy I just want

465
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: to quick jump in, uh, because we're talking about the

466
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 1: how it's one year and why didn'other teams do it?

467
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 1: Our on rap sheet and Rappaport tweeted uh that it

468
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 1: was a very team friendly and Burke had left a

469
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: lot of money on the table to sign with the Pats. Well,

470
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: because think about it this way, He's going to an

471
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: offense where that fits his style. He can catch passes,

472
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,639
Speaker 1: he can run between the tackles. There's a million running

473
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: backs there, yes, but he can put up good statistics,

474
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: potentially win and then sign another contract. Elsewhere as we've

475
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: with Robert Woods, you don't and necessarily put up stats

476
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: to get a contract, right but the Ram but the

477
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: Ramps can't sign everybody. The thing is though, and and

478
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: I was just speaking the article looking at the contract

479
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: numbers that actually is getting get has more of a

480
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: guaranteeer bass salary than the Garrett Blunt had last year.

481
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: And uh, Ben Dion Lewis had neither of his two years,

482
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 1: just a one year deal for Rex. But I thought

483
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: the market would be a little bit stronger for him.

484
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: But okay, um, what this was one I was gonna

485
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: say about the Patriots. You know it's interesting, right because, uh,

486
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: five years ago, they just kept building for the future.

487
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: They just kept amassing those draft picks, and now they're

488
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: cashing in. Tom Brady is you know, pushing forty or

489
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: whatever it is. And so now they're cashing in all

490
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: their chips and two ranks point, you're right there. They're

491
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: playing for now. They're planning to win right now when

492
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: they go out and you sign a guy like Gilmore

493
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: to a big contract, which is not necessarily what Bill

494
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: Belichick does, but they want to win next year and

495
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: the year after that, and I think after that they're

496
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: not that concerned there, but they still but they always

497
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: get rid of their players like Chandler Jones, excuse me,

498
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: Jamie Collins, going back to Tye law Way both Logan

499
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: Makon's like having Darrell reevaus in there for a season.

500
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: They might lose Malcolm, Butler's right, they'll end up keeping

501
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: him at least for the this next season. And then,

502
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: you know what, they're not getting rid of Jimmy garrab below,

503
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: So they're not completely getting rid of their future what

504
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: you're saying, and they're keeping a good a good backup.

505
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: Although um gosh, what is the kid's name who came

506
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: in after Garoppolo? Oh yeah, so they still had somebody

507
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,879
Speaker 1: that they believe in. But again, they're still a little

508
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: mindful of the future of the future. And you know

509
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: that Belichick's hanging around just long enough to coach one

510
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,480
Speaker 1: season post Brady to say like, oh, look I did

511
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: it with a different quarterback type of thing, you know,

512
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: So I think that that's still mindful. So it somehow

513
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: they're playing for the future and still playing for right

514
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: now because they're just better at this than everybody everybody else. Okay,

515
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: h finally your final piece of news here. Cordarrel Patterson

516
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: signed with the Raiders because me, do it, don't do it?

517
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: Because obviously I know. I'm sorry, Marcus, I know I

518
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 1: feel passionately about this. I know a lot of people. Uh,

519
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: And they made their joke like, oh, this is the

520
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: kind of move that out Davis. I'm like, shut up.

521
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: First of all, obviously, he's very fast, but Cordell Patterson

522
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: is a huge part of the return game. Not only

523
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: as an exceptional return man, he's pretty good at defending

524
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: them as well. Like he he became a pretty valuable

525
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: cog and ever Yeah, like he never evolved into the

526
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: type of receiver that everybody wanted to be that I

527
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: wanted him to be, drafting him in the fifth round

528
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. But as far as special

529
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: teams goes valuable, huge, Like he was probably one of

530
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 1: the best, if not the best special team signing of

531
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: the offseason. I really look for that. Uh sneaky fantasy

532
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: spin though, could help boost the Raiders already improved, Yeah,

533
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: for sure, because now you've got the added upside of Cordero.

534
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: Cordero probably taken you know, maybe hopefully one or two

535
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: to the house and spicing up that defense with Khalil

536
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 1: Mack and others. I did not think about that aspect

537
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: of it. That's a that's an interesting point, very good.

538
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: Like starting as a receiver is gonna be a fool's

539
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: errand because you know, I mean, Seth Roberts is gonna

540
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: catch ten touchdowns again or whatever whatever he got last year.

541
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: But the defensive signing his ranks of the special teams

542
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: helps give them a little bump up, all right. I

543
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: don't hate it. I don't hate it. Um. I'll also

544
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: say this about Cordio Patterson's skill set. He's playing with

545
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback now in Derek Carr that can actually legitimately

546
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: launch it downfield. Uh. Teddy Bridgewater good quarterback, you know,

547
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: nice young player, but the knock on him was he

548
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: couldn't get it downfield right. And not saying that Cordioe

549
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: Patterson is a good wide receiver, but if they're just

550
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: asking him to run go routes, he might stretch the

551
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: field a little bit and open up that inside game

552
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more from Mark Cooper. Actually, they they'll

553
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: have him run a lot of drag route where you've

554
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: got a Cooper and crab Tree on the outside and

555
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: then you especially if they can add they can add

556
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: a tight end. I mean there's talk that Jerry Cook

557
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: could end up in uh in Oakland. You have him

558
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: stretching the field down the middle, speed to speed. You

559
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: can see a lot of drag routes from Corderoe Patterson.

560
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: It's not that's not a good h that's that's a

561
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: very good point as a matter of fact. So there

562
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: you go. All right, let's uh switch gears. Let's talk

563
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: about free agency winners and losers. All right, So we

564
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 1: got Evan Silva on the horn. He is a based

565
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: he's a machine. He writes like a ten thousand word

566
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: article every single week, and he writes it in about

567
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: eighteen minutes. Because that's how much of a machine he is.

568
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: You can find his work on Rhodo World every single week.

569
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: He again breaks down every single game from a fantasy perspective.

570
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: But Evan, you wrote a great piece here. Another uh

571
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: five thousand word ope is here on NFL free agency

572
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: winners and losers from a fantasy perspective, Give us a

573
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: guy that you believe again from a fantasy perspective, really

574
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: came out in free agency. Well, I think that the

575
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: players in uh Los Angeles with the Rams are in

576
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: a really, really good spot. The Rams do not have

577
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: very many draft picks in the forthcoming draft. I mean

578
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,719
Speaker 1: they are really I mean they're their hands are kind

579
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: of tied in terms of all their addition. They lost

580
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: two hundred and nine six passing game targets from last season,

581
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: and Robert Woods goes there. His contract has been criticized

582
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: and I understand why, but I mean he's he could

583
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: run into like a hundred and fifty targets with the Rams,

584
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: and um, I like that offensive system that Sean McVeigh

585
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 1: comes from in Washington, spending all that time under Jay Gruden,

586
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: where they I mean they could scheme guys open in

587
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: that offense. And Tyler Higbee I think is interesting because

588
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:39,560
Speaker 1: they released Lance Kendricks and Tyler Higbee was He's a

589
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 1: converted UH wide receiver played he converted to tight end.

590
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: As a senior at Western Kentucky. He average almost fifteen

591
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: yards perception and only had one drop pass that year.

592
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: Last year as a rookie, he he didn't do a

593
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: whole lot in the box score, but he did get

594
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: out there and play the rams offensive snaps. I think

595
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: he could get up into the seventies eight percent range

596
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: UH this year. And McVeigh went on record UH today

597
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: or yesterday talking about how he really likes Tyler Higbee.

598
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean, their past catcher depth chart right now is

599
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: largely set. I'm sure that they will make some minor editions,

600
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: you know, they make They may make some later round picks, uh,

601
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: you know, bring guys in to compete. But I mean,

602
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: I think Robert Woods is going to be the one.

603
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: I think Tavon Austin is going to continue to have

604
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: a very big role, maybe even a bigger role offensively.

605
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 1: This this upcoming season, and um, I think Tyler Higbee

606
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: is a potential breakout candidate at tight end along with

607
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: the more popular Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper. Coming out

608
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: of the gate with Tyler Higbee, I love it, Yeah,

609
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: no doubt. I wanted to stay in the division though,

610
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: And a guy who signed after you wrote your Winners

611
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: and Losers column with Eddie Lacy and you know, the

612
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: the Bob McGinn tweet about his weight kind of stirred

613
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: some things on Twitter. But I'm more worried. I'm more

614
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: interested in the fact that now you've got kind of

615
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: three guys least kind of cycling through there who wins,

616
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: who loses, you know, with with Thomas Rawls and c

617
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 1: J Prosise still hanging around. I mean, that's an organization

618
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 1: that has always been built on competition, and uh, that

619
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: has been like a core philosophy for them. And so

620
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: I think that all the guys are just gonna go

621
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 1: to go to camp and and and they're going to compete.

622
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: And it's hard for us to project how that's gonna

623
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: work out right now. And all these guys have injury histories.

624
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: I mean c J Process got hurt last year. He

625
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: got hurt his final year at Notre Dame. UH Thomas Rawls.

626
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: He has been hurt in each of his first two

627
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: NFL seasons. UH and Eddie Eddie Lacey increasingly prone to

628
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: injury as he has struggled with his weight. I mean,

629
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: I it's a really tough situation to project, and I

630
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to take you know, it might be a

631
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: situation where we want to take the cheapest guy out

632
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 1: of those because you know, maybe there will be some

633
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: hype on Eddie Lacey at some point. But it's just

634
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: it's a difficult situation to really want to invest in

635
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: because they're so little clarity. And I mean, I'm worried

636
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 1: about any Lacy man. I mean, you know, two and

637
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: sixty seven pounds for a five ft eleven guy, like

638
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 1: that's not healthy. And even if he drops down, you know,

639
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: twenty pounds by the time that training camp begins, you know,

640
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: I think he will probably still have some bad you know,

641
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: some bad juju there. Man. I don't want to mess

642
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: around with that. I think he's he's not a great bat. Yeah,

643
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: it's one of those things. Last year, the narrative was that, oh,

644
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: he's been working out and everybody acted like he he

645
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: looked like Brad Pitt from Snatch or like that's what

646
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: everybody acted like, you know what I mean, Like he

647
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: was like Jonah Hill, where he was skinny for like

648
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: maybe one photo. Then the next movie you're like, oh, yeah,

649
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: he's fat again. So it's good. Um. But I didn't

650
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,959
Speaker 1: want to ask you because you mentioned a player in

651
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: your column who I love and I'm gonna I'm gonna

652
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: draft and probably regret it. But you seem to think

653
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: a Mere Abdullah came out okay in this recent round

654
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,880
Speaker 1: of free agency. I think he did. Um. You know,

655
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: the Lions did not show a whole lot of interest

656
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: in any of the free agent running backs, and they

657
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: may very well uh pursue a running back in the draft. Um. However,

658
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: they do have four like capable or at least intriguing

659
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: backs on their current roster. A Mere abduals that they

660
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: used a second round pick on a couple of years ago.

661
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: Theo Riddick, who has a defined role for them, and

662
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: you know probably is the favorite to lead the backfield,

663
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: and snaps played again uh this season, and then Zack

664
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: Center and Daryl Washington. Daryl Washington got on the field

665
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: as a rookie seventh round pick, and I mean he's

666
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 1: very rough around the edges, but he's got He was

667
00:33:50,600 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: talented enough to get on the field of the seventh

668
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: round rookie um and Zack Center who closed out the

669
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: season as their their full time feature back. Um So,

670
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm not totally events that they're going to pick up

671
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 1: another back in the draft. And then they upgraded their

672
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: offensive line, their offensive line and looks like it could

673
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: be sweet this year. Uh They've got they used. They

674
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: got Taylor Decker in the first round last year. Tavis

675
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: Swanson came on as a solid center Grim Glasgow they

676
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 1: got in the third round last year. It looks like

677
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a solid left guard for them. And

678
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: then the right side of their offensive line, they went

679
00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: up and signed um Rick Wagner and uh t J. Lane,

680
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, to the to the top five offensive lineman

681
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: in free agency, and both guys are absolutely quality starters.

682
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: Uh So they have put together a really good offensive

683
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: line with a mere abul is just a matter of

684
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: number one, him staying healthy and number two, like getting

685
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 1: work in scoring position because we know that his ups

686
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: his upside, like in PPR is going to be limited

687
00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 1: by Theo Riddick's presence. You know, we we we need

688
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: this guy to get touches in the red zone, deep

689
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: in the red zone and give some touchdown upside or else.

690
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: You know, his ceiling is very, very curbed. Uh. Anytime

691
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,959
Speaker 1: there's a yend, there's a yank. So we talked about

692
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: the winners. Give me a loser in free agency that

693
00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 1: you saw from a fantasy perspective, Evan, I think it's

694
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 1: pretty much over for Sterling Shepherd. I mean he's gonna

695
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: need Brandon Marshall to get hurt. I mean even last

696
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: year he was getting by by the skin of his teeth.

697
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: I mean he was. He went over sixty yards and

698
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: only three of six three of sixteen games, and he

699
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: scored a bunch of short touchdowns. He scored six red

700
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 1: zone touchdowns, which was going he was going to UM.

701
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 1: He was gonna regrets there anyway. And now they added

702
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: a potential target monster in UM Brandon Marshall. So I

703
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: think Sterling Shepherd was one of the biggest losers. I

704
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 1: think Jared Cook, you know, not not taking that deal,

705
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: not swallow himing his pride and taking that deal from

706
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: the Packers because he thought he could get more money.

707
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: You know, he's probably gonna end up in a bad spot.

708
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: I guess if he goes to Oakland, he might be okay,

709
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: interest in him, Yeah, but he also stands out as

710
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: a loser. Um. And then Kenneth Dixon, man, like on

711
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: March seven, I would have been comfortable taking him like

712
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: in the fifth round of a fantasy draft. And yeah,

713
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: and then four game suspension addition of Danny Woodhead. Anytime

714
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: that Danny Woodhead has ever been in the backfield with

715
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 1: another running back, that other running back, you don't you

716
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: don't want him in fantasy. So just a horrific turn

717
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: of events in about a seventy two hour span for

718
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: for for Kenneth Dixon. All Right, I have to ask

719
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: you about your your brand because you are the captain

720
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: of Team Birkehead right now. So him you even change

721
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: your your Twitter avatar and the whole deal. Him going

722
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: to New England. I mean he's there, James White's there,

723
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis is still there. That man. It just it

724
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: just seems like redundancy on top of redundancy in that backfield. Now, yeah,

725
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean Drex burkehitd is bigger than

726
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 1: those other backs. I mean, Dean Lewis is like a

727
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety seven pounds soaking wet. James White was

728
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: two oh four when it came out. Rex Burkehead was

729
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: almost two fifteen when he came out. And I think

730
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 1: that he can run between the tackles. I think Dean

731
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: Lewis like has the lateral agility to make it work

732
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: on like nine to eleven carries per game. But I

733
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: think Rex burke Head if given the opportunity, and this

734
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: is you know, the running back position is so much

735
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 1: about opportunity, whether it's a guy gets an opportunity because

736
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 1: another guy gets hurt, or a guy's awesome so he's

737
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 1: locked into opportunity. You know, it's it's just such an

738
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: opportunity opportunity driven position. Um, and really get that opportunity.

739
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: I'm hopeful because I think you can really really play.

740
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: I think he's excellent in the passing game. Um. Hugh

741
00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: Jackson used him as a slot receiver at times in Cincinnati.

742
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: He got that opportunity last week seventeen against the best

743
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,840
Speaker 1: run defense in football, and Rex burke had just took it.

744
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 1: Took it to him man. I mean he he ran

745
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: all over the Ravens. I love him as a ballplayer,

746
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: and I think the Patriots due to you know, he's

747
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: the highest paid Patriots running back since Fred Taylor in

748
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,720
Speaker 1: two thousand and ten. Uh, he's gonna be making more

749
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: than or more than more more than double what James

750
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: White and Dean Lewis will be this upcoming season. James White,

751
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: I know, he had an awesome Super Bowl. He's still

752
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: like a niche role player. And uh, Dion Lewis was

753
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: a guy who the he wasn't very good last year

754
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: coming back from his a c L terry. He had

755
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,800
Speaker 1: that big three touchdown game against the Texans in the playoffs,

756
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 1: but other than that, he didn't really do much. And

757
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: in that same game he had multiple fumbles and we

758
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,400
Speaker 1: did not see very much of him the rest of

759
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: the way in the playoffs. I mean, they went to

760
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 1: James White and Legarrett Blunt over them over him. So

761
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if they, you know, necess certainly soured

762
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:05,479
Speaker 1: on Dion Lewis long term, but he just he wasn't

763
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: the same last year. And I think that Rex burkehead

764
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: can run between the tackles, pass, block, catch passes. I

765
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: think he's a great addition for the Patriots, and he

766
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: has big time fantasy upside. Uh if if you can

767
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 1: get that opportunity, yeah, I'd agree with that. I think

768
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: I heard some rumblings that they might even potentially let

769
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: Louis go or something because he wasn't quite I mean,

770
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 1: it's just hearsay. I don't think it was from any

771
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: like reputable sources. But given how much the other moves

772
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: are making a free agency and how he wasn't the

773
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: same guy and having a loaded running back room right now,

774
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 1: we'll see. But Evan also, there's a couple of big

775
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: names still out there in free agency, Adrian Peterson, Jamal Charles,

776
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,080
Speaker 1: a couple other guys. Is there anybody in kind of

777
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: a dream landing spot that you'd like to see that

778
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: maybe has been whispered about so far or otherwise mm hmm,

779
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: not off the top of my head. I I'm curious

780
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: to see how this how these you know, old running

781
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: backs coming off injuries, probably over pricing themselves at this

782
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,840
Speaker 1: stage of free agency. Well, they have to wait until

783
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 1: after the draft to find landing spots. I mean, you know,

784
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 1: well teams want to commit to them. I mean, it's

785
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a great, great running back class.

786
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 1: You know, That's that's what everybody says. So I don't

787
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: know that teams will really want to, you know, commit

788
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: even like three or four million dollars for one year

789
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: to Adrian Peter Senter Jamal Charles when in the draft

790
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: they can get a guy who they can have for

791
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: the next three or four years for three or four

792
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: million dollars, you know. I mean, that's that's the cost

793
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: of like a late second, third, fourth round draft pick. Um.

794
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: So I don't I don't know. I'll be interested to

795
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: see also where Michael Floyd ends up. And he's been

796
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: a he's a chronic underachiever, you know, he he teases

797
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 1: us every year and you know we fall for it.

798
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: But he's still a talented guy, and he's he's probably

799
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: the most talented actually probably by far, the most talented

800
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver still left on the free agent market. Very quickly. Um,

801
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: you know, you talked about the Rams being kind of

802
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: a low key source of fantasy points. You know, I

803
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 1: look at what the the Cleveland Browns did in terms

804
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 1: of the offensive line moves. I am buying and I'm

805
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: investing heavily into Cleveland next year. I think about the

806
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: draft prices that I could get for somebody like Isaiah

807
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: crow Well, Corey Coleman. I'm salivate. I'm going to invest

808
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: heavily into what Cleveland has done. I'd love to get

809
00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: your take, um on what they've done over there. Uh

810
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 1: in a while, just could not agree more. You know.

811
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: They they showed how they value Isaiah Crowell. They gave

812
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,320
Speaker 1: him a second round tender as a restricted free agent,

813
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: and they went out and spent their money on offensive linemen.

814
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: They extended Joel Bitonio the left the left guard. They

815
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: kept Joe Thomas the left tackle. At center. They signed j. C. Treader,

816
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 1: who was at Pro of Ball Focus. He was a

817
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 1: top five center before he got hurt halfway through last season. Uh.

818
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: Ivy League guy played at Cornell, you know, smart, big,

819
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: big guy. UM. I think he played some tackle and

820
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: we got some IVY League keep going right now. I

821
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: like it. And then uh, at right guard, of course,

822
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: they landed Kevin Zeitler, who he's get a top ten

823
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: guard you know every season for the last half decade. UH.

824
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: And at right tackle, I think that they'll be able

825
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: to sort that out. They they've got some prospects there,

826
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: maybe move John Greco, who had previously previously been a

827
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: starting guard out to right tackle. But I mean they

828
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: may have the makings of what could be a very

829
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 1: very very very strong offensive line. Um and you know,

830
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 1: the problem for Isaiah crow L more often than not,

831
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 1: he's the flow of the game. You know, the Browns

832
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: get down and uh, you know he he doesn't see

833
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: the field as much and that that will continue to

834
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: be a concern. But right, and oh the way that

835
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,680
Speaker 1: they're I mean, they have the potential to be a

836
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:08,239
Speaker 1: running game that can impose its will on opponents. And

837
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm with you, man, I'm pretty excited about So I

838
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: don't I want to ask you at least one more

839
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 1: question before we get out. I don't know what the

840
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 1: rest of the gang was feeling here, but staying in Ohio.

841
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: On the flip side, the Bengals have kind of had

842
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: a bit of a disastrous free agency period. And this

843
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: is a team that just a couple of years ago

844
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: was starting to look like one that we could mind

845
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: for a lot of fantasy production from a J. Green

846
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: and when they had Marvin Jones and Tyler Effort in

847
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: that backfield. Now Jeremy Hill's coming off disastrous a couple

848
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 1: of years, Geo Bernard's coming off of major surgery, A J.

849
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: Green's coming off of an injury, Tyler Eiffort's coming off

850
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: an injury, and that offensive line has disappeared. How worried

851
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: are we about the Bengals in fantasy this year? And

852
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: is there anybody perhaps outside of A. J. Green that

853
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: we can dress and maybe Tyler Eiffort that we can

854
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:58,280
Speaker 1: draft with confidence? Yeah, this is this is a really

855
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: tough one. You know. Um, they just decided, you know,

856
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: made the decision to let their two best best offensive

857
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: linemen go when the rest of their offensive linement that

858
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,360
Speaker 1: they haven't have in place are not very good. You

859
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: know that that's a little that's scary and it's like

860
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: perplexing and head scratching. Um. You know, the way that

861
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: the NFL has responded to the decline of line play

862
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 1: and you know other teams emphasizing speed and pass rush

863
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 1: on defense has been to just, um like dial up

864
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: more quick passing. Um. So I think that there are

865
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 1: ways that a good offensive coordinator can like scheme around

866
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: offensive line deficiencies. UM. And I think that that's what

867
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: you will kind of hope for um, you know, I that'sment.

868
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I can't believe that they did that.

869
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't get it. Yeah, whatever window they

870
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: had certainly seems like it's closing and closing fast. Evan

Speaker 1: and we're gonna see what's gonna happen here. We want

881
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:42,879
Speaker 1: to know why is Matt Harmon beefing with us? That's

882
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:46,399
Speaker 1: what I want to know. Oh wait, wait, can I predict? Yes? Oh?

883
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 1: I just love guys. I do think it's jealousy. I think, okay,

884
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,839
Speaker 1: I think I think he misses the nest um. All right,

885
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 1: he's decided to fly on his own franchise and uh yeah,

886
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: we are dialing. Okay, where's that beautiful sounder? Oh I

887
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: skipped the sound drop of I was. I was too

00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,239
Speaker 1: eager to get this one. I got it all right,

889
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: we'll figure out what's going on. We can automated system

890
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: seven zero three. Oh my gosh, stop, why doesn't he

Speaker 1: Matt Harmon, what's up? James? Go here from the NFL

893
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live podcast. I'm here with all the guys. Say hello, gentlemen, Hello, hello,

894
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: Matt Harmon. We want to know. Inquiring minds want to know.

895
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 1: Why are you beefing with us? Bro? That's what I

896
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: want to know. What's the deal? What's the deal? What's

897
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: your agenda? What is I mean? I even decided to,

898
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, get on your little Brussels Sprouts bandwagon. Oh

899
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: my god, I saw that. Um. By the way, I

900
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: enjoyed Brussels Sprouts before Matt Harmon tried to make it

901
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: his brand. Oh come on, he introduced you to Brussels.

902
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: He's the one that you know what I'm I'm getting

903
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: a little upset though. It's hurting my feelings. I almost

904
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 1: blocked Matt Harmon on t but then I'm tired of

905
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: the Brussels a little bit like he's being very hurtful.

906
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: But then I realized blocking a co worker would be

907
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 1: really uncool. Who would do that? Um? I didn't and

908
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: I love and I love the kid, that's true, but

909
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 1: I feel like we need to show him a little

910
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: tough love. Okay, all right? Oh, by the way, I think,

911
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: are we done with a voicemail? Let's fill it up.

912
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: Here's what I would like to see Matt work on.

913
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: Good here we go. I really, I don't. I don't

914
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: have a review. I really, I've really enjoyed the Hipsters podcast.

915
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 1: I think that's really good. And have you caught the

916
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: Boy Young Boy podcast? It's good. I've been on it.

917
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: Maybe we should just say goodbye, no, no, no, thist

918
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,359
Speaker 1: And this is what I would say, Matt, you're doing

919
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: a great job and we're proud of you. Um, keep

920
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: doing what you're doing. Please stop um and don't let

921
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: the haters like James co get you down and stop

922
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: ben with us all right, by Matt? Alright, peace? I

923
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 1: love that his phone number. Well, I'm going to cut

924
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: out his phone number. But I shouldn't have said anything. Now,

925
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 1: It's fine to be a mystery to this. Oh my god,

926
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: that is wonderful. All right, let's close out your show

927
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:36,600
Speaker 1: with a round of daily depths depth. By the way,

928
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 1: if anyone wonders, we do not plan these calls. We

929
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: do not plan these calls. We don't let them know

930
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: whether or not we're going to be calling them that week.

931
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: We didn't call him last week's zero plans, sir, exactly,

932
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: So there you go. Um. Obviously we got his voicemail,

933
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 1: which was fun. What's the phone number that comes up?

934
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a New York number. It is held.

935
00:48:57,880 --> 00:48:59,760
Speaker 1: He should know, but he should know, Yeah, he should.

936
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: Rman has no idea what the New York number from

937
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: this office, but he would see. I'd still guarantee he'd

938
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: probably thought it was somebody soliciting him. That's what I

939
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: mean that. But yeah, okay, but it doesn't make sense

940
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: because he's answered it before. We yes, yes, yes, we have,

941
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: we have. We have called it. We might have given

942
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 1: him a heads up though that we were doing it.

943
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: That did we I don't know. I feel like we haven't. Alright,

944
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: there's not a set time because it could go like

945
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: any anytime. I could start talking about division to college basketball.

946
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: Sweet and a quick shout out to Northwest Missouri State

947
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,360
Speaker 1: they're the number one seed. To keep going. What what

948
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 1: else you got for daily damp are we are? We

949
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: starting now as pal Um daily depths you know what

950
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 1: I daily dep because this is one of the first

951
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: times this has happened to me, somebody announcing the I'm

952
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:48,480
Speaker 1: on following you, which I think is it's awesome. I

953
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: love that people have to announce it. Like it's not

954
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: enough to be like you've you've irritated me unfollowed, but

955
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: it's like, no, no, no, I've got to announce to you. Uh.

956
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: And it was after one of my Patriots things where

957
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: I compared the Brandon Cook signing to Darthur whatever whatever

958
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: it was, and somebody was like, you're too political. Now

959
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm on following you and I and I had a

960
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: follow up and I said, what do you like? I

961
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: have no idea what you're talking about. And then so

962
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:20,919
Speaker 1: I went back to see and then the thing disappeared

963
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 1: from my timeline. So I said, okay, so maybe the

964
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 1: kid thought better of it. No, no, no, he had blocked.

965
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: At this point, I'm like, okay, you blocked me. That's

966
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 1: that's a little aggressive. Well he didn't announce. Because you didn't,

967
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: I wish you would have, you know what, sir, I'm

968
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: now blocking and then blocked. It would have been a

969
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 1: little bit more effective. So well, I mean, I feel

970
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 1: as if that's blocking etiquette. If you're gonna block someone,

971
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:44,839
Speaker 1: I feel as if you should let that. I wish

972
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 1: you would know. I wait, yeah, I wish there was

973
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: some way to tell, like what is what is the

974
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 1: one thing that set somebody off? Like this was the

975
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: thing where you're on block? Because like, for instance, and

976
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: we should have a game of like who's the most

977
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 1: famous person to block? Who have blocked you? Because for me,

978
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: it's the sports guy Bill Simmons. Will Simmons is blocked you. Yeah,

979
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:05,919
Speaker 1: And it's it's easy to think about because I was like, well,

980
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: Twitter started in two thousand and nine, and that was

981
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: right around the time when the Angels swept the Red

982
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 1: Sox in the playoffs. The Lakers and Celtics were also

983
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 1: going back and forth. So it's pretty clear to me

984
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,919
Speaker 1: that I said something terrible about a Boston sports team, which,

985
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 1: but what were you at tweeting? Bill Simmons probably probably

986
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: probably up like the Twitter machine and see what happens,

987
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: you're so, I'm sorry it's you tweet about your life

988
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 1: and if at M at that point in my life

989
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:43,760
Speaker 1: to someone because I don't want to subtweet him because

990
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: that's not cool, although I do it all the time.

991
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: I subtweet the world. Uh. In addition to those I

992
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna adap Evan. He was very delightful.

993
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:58,200
Speaker 1: Vin Silvan Yeah, oh yeah, I uh yeah, sledgeable dude,

994
00:51:58,239 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 1: you know what, He's very smart, so I really enjoyed him.

995
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: Adapts the cow State Fullerton, who did not advance in

Speaker 1: don't know if it if we have a future together.

1011
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: Where Raven was like, I love you, I want to

00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:10,160

00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: he goes, I'm gonna miss you, and she says, I know,

Speaker 1: boom so load right there my final dap. And this

1017
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: is gonna make Marcus angry. And I did not plan

1018
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: it this way, but I feel he needs to be defended.

1019
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,200
Speaker 1: LaVar Ball I love him. He's not listen, let me

1020
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: tell you something. Number One, his kid he's not. He's

1021
00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: he's maybe going a little bit too far, like he's

1022
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: saying some outrageous things. He's not the president, Okay, he's

1023
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 1: just he's a sports dad. And number one, his kids

1024
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: are good kids. They're good citizens, they're nice human beings.

1025
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: They're not in trouble. They've they're not going to be

1026
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: and all that stuff there He's raised good children, So

1027
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 1: I like that. Number Two. His kids, going back to

1028
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 1: low ball, played at Chino Hills High School, that is

1029
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: the high school closest to his house. He wasn't this

1030
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: kind of dad who shopped around his kids to these

1031
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,279
Speaker 1: other these other high schools. He didn't send them to

1032
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,799
Speaker 1: modern day. He didn't try to make any sort of

1033
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: power play. There was a former NFL player who whose

1034
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 1: dad was a was a high school coach, and that

1035
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 1: coach said, you know what, if I don't get the

1036
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: job at this particular high school, I'm taking my son

1037
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: to a southern California powerhouse and letting him play there,

1038
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: and did stuff like that. He's not doing that. He

1039
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 1: went to his local school. He went to the local UNI.

1040
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: Although if he went to the local university, he would

1041
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 1: have gone to cow State Fullerton. But I can't begrudge

1042
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: him for going to u c. L A. And in

1043
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: an era or any time that you want to watch

1044
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: a Football Life or any of these these shows, and

1045
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,080
Speaker 1: they talk about certain players who are able to overcome

1046
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: circumstances like I grew up without a male role model

1047
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: or father figure, the fact that he's still a part

1048
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: of their life and he's he a little Is it

1049
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,799
Speaker 1: a little irksome that he's calling out Charles Barkley? Sure,

1050
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: but you know what, he's a part of he's calling

1051
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,719
Speaker 1: out Michael Jordan said, whatever, but he's more life, you

1052
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: know what, and he's he's been there, they become better citizens.

1053
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 1: It has been a good dad. We might not agree

1054
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: with what he's doing, and I get that one I

1055
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: understand that one billion dollars. I realized that this is

1056
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,320
Speaker 1: a backhanded shot at me because I tweeted that I

1057
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: muted all references Ball. No, no, no no, it's not no.

1058
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,520

1093
00:57:05,719 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: Somehow we always end up at this place called the

1094
00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 1: Coach House in Scottsdale, which you know it's uh as

1095
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:14,960
Speaker 1: as a friend and producer Hytham Clonie refers to it

1096
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:17,240
Speaker 1: as the Christmas Bar, simply because we went there once

1097
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,400
Speaker 1: and they had Christmas lights up. Um. But yeah, you know,

1098
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 1: other than that, you know, I'm I'm pretty open. I

1099
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: am like the Amiba. I I adapt to the circumstances.

1100
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:29,439
Speaker 1: I will daily dap Planet Earth to have you guys

1101
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: been watching this? You see America not yet like Earth

1102
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: to like d C uh like d C no negative.

1103
00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: This is like an Earth documentary. Okay, yes, Nature documentary.

1104
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 1: If you guys haven't seen it, My god, it is amazing.

1105
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: This is what had the lizard chase right, Yes, that's

1106
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: the lizard I haven't I haven't seen that one yet.

1107
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: It hasn't come up yet, but man, they're what I think.

1108
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: There are three episodes in UH. It's already aired overseas,

1109
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:55,720
Speaker 1: so if you're one of our British listeners or something,

1110
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: then you know you've already seen it probably, but uh,

1111
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: describe it a little bit. It's a nature documentary. It's

1112
00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: Earth too, it's Planet Earth too. Because it was the

1113
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: one that came out like four years ago. It was

1114
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: not to like t o O O. I'm thinking of it

1115
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 1: like because like in the DC Universe, there's different earths

1116
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,400
Speaker 1: on Earth to like Jason Garrick is the Flash in

1117
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 1: Earth too. So I didn't know if it was like

1118
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: a reimagining of what Earth would look like if there's

1119
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: no human It's not that. No, No, it's a it's

1120
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:31,080
Speaker 1: a straight nature doc It is amazing. If you haven't

1121
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: seen it, uh, go DVR, go find it online, whatever

1122
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: it is, go find it. It's great, it's awesome. I

1123
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: just have an anti dab to the news that Warner

1124
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: Brothers is rebooting The Matrix. Yess why God, why wait?

1125
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 1: It's not even that old. That's there are there are

1126
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,800
Speaker 1: so many problems the potentially doing it's not even that old.

1127
00:58:55,840 --> 00:59:00,280
Speaker 1: Like I tend to occasionally side up with Holly here

1128
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 1: with like if it's a super old story or they

1129
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: want to give it a fresh spin or continue the

1130
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,959
Speaker 1: story like Creed did with Rocky, Like that's fine, bring

1131
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: bring the brand back in a fun way like that,

1132
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: but like or if c g I has advanced or yeah,

1133
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 1: but like the Matrix was groundbreaking, and those that trilogy

1134
00:59:17,880 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 1: you know, love the sequels or hate him was like

1135
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 1: a closed book. Like it it wrapped itself up. It's done.

1136
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: Don't go back and touch it, just leave it alone.

1137
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: This is awful. I will never I will never go

1138
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 1: see any of these movies in the theater. No, which

1139
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: makes me sad because I believe Michael B. Jordan is

1140
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: attached and I like Michael, I do I love him.

1141
00:59:36,960 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: To ask me how many times I've seen the Andrew

1142
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: Garfield Spider Man movies. The answer is zero six. I

1143
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: have not seen. I didn't want to see the ones

1144
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: with Gwen Stacy. No, I might maybe I'll rent it

1145
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: at some point, but I was not, or like if

1146
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: it's free, I'll or somewhere by the way, he did

1147
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: a good job and it was so good. Yeah, he

1148
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: did a good job. Everything I heard he was like

1149
00:59:55,960 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fox was not great. But anyways, this is just so.

1150
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: But like the point rebooting the Matrix, but Point Break

1151
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 1: was so much better. The didn't go see it, you

1152
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:12,680
Speaker 1: know what? The new point Break was visually stunning, right,

1153
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: visually stunning, And I kind of I'm glad that they

1154
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 1: didn't have spoiler alert. I'm glad that they didn't have

1155
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: Johnny Utah as a football player. They instead had him

1156
01:00:23,240 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 1: as a extreme sports like if it was Tony Hawks.

1157
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 1: Not the right example, but like any of the Travis

1158
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,120
Speaker 1: Pastrano or somebody like that, Like he was like one

1159
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 1: of those guys. Anyways, Yeah, I can't I can't believe it.

1160
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: This is just like what's next. We're gonna gonna remake

1161
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: The Godfather? Is it? Is it a reboot or is

1162
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 1: it like a spinoff store. I don't know. It's just

1163
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: apparently they've been approached by Joel Silver, who was the

1164
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 1: producer of it. Although he sold his share in the

1165
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: Matrix movies they have, they could still spinoff movie being Okay,

1166
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. The the that universe, that world is

1167
01:00:57,080 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: very I played the Matrix video game, which was kind

1168
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: of a spinoff. It was with Jada Pinkett Smith's her

1169
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: ship from the second second, Oh yeah, payed with her

1170
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: crew and stuff. And they had filmed a bunch of

1171
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: other stuff for that, and like that was that was

1172
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 1: kind of fine, but like, I don't know, I'm I'm

1173
01:01:12,240 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: very very very very leery about this and I do

1174
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 1: not like it. So I am who Warner Brothers. I

1175
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,160
Speaker 1: am hoping Warner Brothers do the right thing. Shame, make

1176
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 1: it a spinoff, shame, don't make it a straight shame,

1177
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,560
Speaker 1: don't make it all right? That's the show. Wow. We
