11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,400

27

00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 1: Cohen and why, yes, indeed he is worth his current

00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: eighth round a DP. He's gonna lay it out all force.

32
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: Will close out our show, as we mentioned, with a

33
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: round of daily depths. But we start your show, as

34
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: we always do, with a fantasy headlines. Oh my god,

35
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: the news we really do have breaking here? Hey did,

36
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: Because though the diegels like bag ships playing the sliver ball,

37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: breaking news, breaking news is always a little uh tongue

38
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: in cheek around these parts. Sometimes we're talking about news

39
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: that happened a few days ago, but legitimately breaking news here.

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: Literally minutes before we started potting, the news of Aaron

41
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: Jones being suspended two games by the NFL for violating

42
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: the league's p e D policy. Well wait, it's uh,

43
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: it doesn't include pets because policy and programs for substance

44
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: of abuse, which actually trying to roll through it right now,

45
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: and I think that's more of like the alcohol weed

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: one don't know that it's p e D s. That's

47
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: an obviously logical jump since just honestly two days ago

48
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: we had stories of I'm so much more, so much bigger,

49
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: and so much stronger coming from Aaron jos very good point.

50
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: I think that right actually going through it all now,

51
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: I jumped the gun there a little bit. Uh. Two

52
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: games for this is from Mike Garafolo, two games for

53
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: run back Aaron Jones. League announces violation of the substance

54
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: abuse policy. And then if I read further, uh, Aaron

55
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: Jones pleaded no contest to a marijuana related traffic charge

56
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: in March. Yes, this one, this was that this, So

57
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: this is stemming from the charge that happened a while ago.

58
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't sure when the news came out, because, like

59
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: we said, we just saw the tweets right before we

60
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 1: came up here. If it was going to be something

61
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: new or from that. I think he got like pulled

62
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: over for speeding and they had marijuana in the car

63
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: and this is the result of that. Okay, so there

64
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: you go. So but at the very same time, I

65
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: mean this is happened a couple of days ago. But

66
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: packers dot com uh said that Aaron Jones had report

67
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: reportedly bulked up this off season, trying to get better

68
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: in pass protection, trying to improve improve his um you know,

69
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: I guess conditioning, and trying ability to stay on the

70
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: field in terms of health, because he did miss a

71
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: few games last year with a couple of different knee ailments. So, uh,

72
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: he's bulked up, He's gonna miss two games. We know

73
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: he's electric on the field. What is this news? And

74
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: news too that he has again put on a little

75
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: extra muscle, especially in the lower half due for Aaron

76
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: Jones's stock right, well, first we know is he is

77
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: he b h L best shape of his last I believe.

78
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 1: So he's in the midst of a young life right now.

79
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: See the second season. But that article was that as

80
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: soon as last season ended, he was in the weight

81
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: room every day. They're going in his lunch pale. The

82
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: written it up great offseason narratives. Uh, this is damaging

83
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: I think to his his outlook this this season, because

84
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: he was already mired in a committee. The word on

85
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: the street had been that they were going to use

86
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: a committee or hothand approach Jamal. Now there are two

87
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: games for either Time Montgomery or Jamal Williams to assert

88
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: themselves with Aaron Rodgers in that offense and for him

89
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: to get comfortable. And if the offense is humming along

90
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: with either Jamal Williams, who I think should get a

91
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: bigger bump here than Time Montgomery or Time Montgomery, why

92
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: are they gonna necessarily turn it right over to Jones.

93
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: We've seen he's been explosive before, but now he's got

94
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: two big red flags come the season. He's coming off

95
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: of multiple knee injuries. I mean they were they were

96
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: MCL so all it took was recovery time. But injuries

97
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: and a suspension like that's that's putting behind a ball

98
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: here big time. Not very good. Uh, Am I crazy

99
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: for thinking that Actually this helps Time Montgomery the best.

100
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: I think Time Montgomery being a third down passing option

101
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: and uh and those kind of things. I think he's

102
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: he's got a skill set anyways that I think might

103
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: drive a little bit better with his pact. Hey, listen, man, again,

104
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: we're a year removed from hyping the hell out of

105
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: Time Montgomery. Uh, it's not like this guy's gotten significantly worse.

106
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: He just got passed over because of injuries by one

107
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: of the guys that's still there with him right now, Williams. Well,

108
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: but I mean a lot of it had to do

109
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: with injury though. Yeah, but both of those other guys

110
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: were far more productive in the offense than Time Montgomery

111
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: lest time on Smory was productive on like but horribly

112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: inefficient on just a ton of volume. And like the

113
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: Jones v. Williams debate and the n the last season.

114
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: Jones obviously had a higher yards per carry, higher yards

115
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: after contact, and things of that nature, but he had

116
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: the benefit of playing with Aaron Rodgers for at least

117
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: one of those games. Charles Williams was always in a

118
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: Brett Huntley offense, but still performed better than Time Montgomery. Interesting. Um, yeah,

119
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I think for my money, I might.

120
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm bumping up Town Montgomery, man, at least for

121
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: the first couple of games. I mean, sure, A chance,

122
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: Look it does bring him back closer to relevance. But

123
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: when Aaron Jones comes back, does he go back to

124
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: irrelevance or at least lesser relevant? All right, let's talk

125
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: about Aaron Jones, at least from a drafting standpoint. What

126
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: are you doing with him? I mean, he was already

127
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: going in in you know, I want to say he

128
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: was crawling up into the single digits, but uh, certainly

129
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues he was going double digit rounds. Again,

130
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: gonna missed two games of the regular Sea's not a

131
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: big chunk of change, but still, you know, you know,

132
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: certainly there's not a lot of larity in the Green

133
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: Bay backfield. He's gonna be missing two games because of suspension.

134
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,479
Speaker 1: What what what do we do with his draft price?

135
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: I think it's I think he doesn't get drafted now

136
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues I would agree with. I mean,

137
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: if he was just kind of on the fringes to

138
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: begin with, because it's just it's so cloudy in that backfield,

139
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: and now he's not going to play the first couple

140
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: of weeks, I mean, I just think people are You'll

141
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: find plenty of other options. Suspend a late round draft pick,

142
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: on the big thing to remember when it comes to

143
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: whether or not to draft suspended players, whether they're of

144
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: the high upside ilk like and Aaron Jones but with

145
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: a lot more risk, or like a Mark Ingram is

146
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: it all depends on how your league is built, because

147
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: it's easy to say here, oh yeah, grab him and

148
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: stash him. But if you are on a link that

149
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: only has four bench spots, that is a massive hole

150
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 1: in your bench that could be reserved for somebody else

151
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: that's actually playing or or could contribute, or could back

152
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: up somebody that you have that might get injured else wise.

153
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: So make sure to weigh that consideration in when you're

154
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: debating when or not to draft these guys. A two

155
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: games spension isn't as big as Ingram's, but like still,

156
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: that's those first couple of weeks are are the heart

157
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: of like the waiver ye ye. That's when like Kareem

158
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: Hunt got picked up last year. That's when like DeVonta

159
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 1: Freeman got I opened two years ago, got got dropped

160
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: and then added in a lot of leagues when the

161
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,239
Speaker 1: guy he gets injured, Freeman comes in like fourteen hundred

162
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: total yards and fourteen touchdowns later, he's the fantasy superstar.

163
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: So like, that's such an important time period in the

164
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: NFL season, fantasy season for your waiver wire, you really

165
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: have to be cognizitive, like how your how deep your

166
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: league is, and how deep the benches are before you

167
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: go drafting guys like this. I I first, my first

168
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: inclination was to say, you're not going to draft Darren Jones.

169
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: But then now that the more I think about it, though,

170
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: he would be the number one waiver at after week two?

171
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: Would he not? Unless Jamal Williams or Time Montgomery has

172
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: in these first two weeks ago two fifty total yards

173
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns, which is entirely possible. All right, Well

174
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: there you go. Hey, let's play a little game of

175
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: something or nothing, Shelley something or nothing. Allen Robinson has

176
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: missed the Bears entire offseason program thus far. The team,

177
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: though says he'll be back July nineteen for the start

178
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: of training camp. A DP in the low forties on

179
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Calculator. Something or nothing, Allen Robinson's missed the

180
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: entire offseason program. Marcus Grant, Uh, it's not nothing, So

181
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: I guess that makes it something. So I guess that

182
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: makes it something that's you know, the whole game. The

183
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: other well, it's not one thing, so I guess yeah,

184
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it definitely is something. I don't I'm not

185
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: panicking just yet. I think I've seen some people talking

186
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: about how they're moving him down their rankings and whatever.

187
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: I'm cool with leaving him where I have him. I

188
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: think he's fine. I think right now that's still fine.

189
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's still early July, right, Like, let's

190
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: get into training camp. Let's see if he's there, how

191
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: he performs, what happens, Like, Yeah, you would like a

192
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: guy on a new team to have been there in

193
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: the off season and worked with the quarterbacks and looked,

194
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: you know, learned the playbook and that's sort of thing.

195
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: It would be nice, it would be great. I still

196
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 1: think Allen Robinson is going to be fine. He's still

197
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: gonna be the top target there. So I'm not I'm

198
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: not panicked about it. Alex Gelhar something or nothing. It

199
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 1: is something, but it could very quickly become nothing. Because

200
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: attached to that report as well was yes, there was

201
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: the part of the statement that was, uh, he hasn't

202
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: really participated at all offseason. But then the other addendum

203
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 1: was that they fully expect, they expected to be a

204
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: full go when training camp starts. So for now it

205
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: is something. If when training camp starts in a couple

206
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: of weeks he's still missing or still limited, it will

207
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: continue to be something. But if at the end of

208
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: July Allen Robinson is out there full go, running rounds,

209
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: catching passes, then all that jazz not worried. Alright, something

210
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: or nothing. Colts running back Robert Turban was suspended four

211
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: games reviling the league's policy on performance enhancing drugs. It

212
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: clears the room a little bit. It's a very crowded

213
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: running back room there in Indianapolis. Marlon Mack, who's the

214
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: starter anyways, He's supposed to be the starter anyways. But

215
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: late round rookies Nahem Hines and Jordan Wilkins have been

216
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: getting a little bit of pub and they're also in

217
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: the mix. And you knew Robert Turbin might be getting

218
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: into the mix as well. Something or nothing, Robert Turbin

219
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: clears a little bit of space here. Now for two

220
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 1: you know hyped rook key's in I don't want to

221
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: say high, but two rookies that do have a little

222
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: bit of upside as well as Marlon Mack, who seems

223
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: to be everyone's favorite sleeper. I think it's I think

224
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: it's something the fact that he's going to be out

225
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 1: of the way now. Likeeci In in Fantasy Opportunity, he

226
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: drives everything in Turbin was a guy that was stealing

227
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: a lot of opportunity opportunities early last year before he

228
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: got before we got injured. So with him out of

229
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: the way, that's going to free up practice reps or

230
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he might be in practice, but it's gonna

231
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: free up a lot of reps and opportunities for these

232
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: two guys, both of them who both of whom have

233
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,359
Speaker 1: been getting hyped by the coaching staff. Just saw yesterday

234
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: that uh was the general manager Chris Ballard had said

235
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: that Jordan Wilkins reminded him of Matt Forte the way

236
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: he's been practicing and with his kind of silkiness. You know,

237
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: Matt was so smooth. But either way, I mean, both

238
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: of these guys were already good. Later our options to

239
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: circle and just clearing a path to more opportunities makes

240
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: it even more appealing. You know, I definitely think it's something.

241
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: You know, there's even some talk that that Uh, Turban

242
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: could be kind of a a roster bubble guy now

243
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: because of this. I mean, I figure he was in

244
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,119
Speaker 1: a crowded backfield. Now he's gonna miss four games. Um,

245
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, the Colts can obviously figure out something else

246
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: and just e t S for the coming weeks. I

247
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: have a piece I'm working on, basically the best players

248
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: that you're not drafting, guys who are kind of late

249
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: round or undrafted guys right now. And and I'm starting

250
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: to like Naheim Hines. I mean, he was one of

251
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: those guys who came, we got through O, T, A

252
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: S and everything, and he was he was a hype bunny.

253
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: They talked about how they moved them all over the field,

254
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: and they're going be able to do different things with him.

255
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: How he's over I mean speed, speed, speed. Everybody's looking

256
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: for that. You know that that Tyreek Hill, uh, Christian

257
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: McCaffrey whatever, Swiss Army and I've kind of guys so

258
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I think they're trying Hinds in

259
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: that role. When I'm I'm starting to get a little

260
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: more on board with him. Is kind of a late

261
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: round dartthrow sort of guy. Okay, I like it. Something

262
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: or nothing. Jamis Winston suspended three games for violently the

263
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: league's personal conduct policy. Just in general, I just I

264
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: just wonder why it wasn't six games. Very confused by

265
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: that the league has a personal conduct policy. It's supposed

266
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: to be six game. Wait a minute, you're confused by

267
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: a suspension given out by the league, James, It's not

268
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: like there's a long history of arbitrary assignments, of punishments,

269
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: of varying things. How was it three games supposed to

270
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 1: be six year? How are any of them any games

271
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: that there's no consistency. That's my favorite is what a

272
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: suspension comes out and people like, how could this be?

273
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, have you guys not watched any of

274
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: for like the last eight years. I think it's something, though,

275
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: all right, uh, something or nothing, Marcus Grant, we'll start

276
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: with you. Definitely something, Um And I know I said

277
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: last week that yeah, it's it's Ryan. If it's Patrick,

278
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: it's different than having some random, you know, quarterback who

279
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 1: hasn't seen a whole lot of action, because because we

280
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: know Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to play every year, he's

281
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: going to start at some point. Um. But I do

282
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: think it's something in the fact that the Bucks schedule

283
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,839
Speaker 1: to start the year rough Eagles, Steelers, Saints in some

284
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: sort of order, right, So, like to have to go

285
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: into that gauntlet without your starting quarterback, without your you know,

286
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: supposed franchise quarterback. Um, that is going to be impactful,

287
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: and that's going to have an impact on everybody from

288
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Evans to the Sean Jackson all the

289
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: way down through the running backs, whether it's you know,

290
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones, Charnald Sims, whoever else may be there. Um. Yeah,

291
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: so it it is definitely something for me. Uh can

292
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 1: I say I think it's gonna be From a fantasy perspective,

293
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be nothing. I think from real

294
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: life perspective, I think it's something. But from a fantasy perspective,

295
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: I think it's nothing. Man. I think in those three games,

296
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, tough games in real life, but in fantasy,

297
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. I think they might be higher

298
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: scoring games of certainly half. They'll certainly those three teams Philadelphia,

299
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers in New Orleans will certainly force Tampa Bay

300
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: to at least try to run a little bit more

301
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: up tempo, whether it's in the second half, or it's

302
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: in the first half. We'll see. It doesn't matter. But

303
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: the bottom line is they're gonna be forced into a

304
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: situation that I believe anyways, where they're gonna have to

305
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: at least put the ball in the air a little

306
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: bit more. As you mentioned Ryan Fitzpatrick, a capable back up.

307
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: I think for guys like Mike Evans who might be

308
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: pressed into service to Sean Jackson, might be pressed into service.

309
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: Even Ronald Jones, who again even though he only caught

310
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: fourteen passes last year as a trojan, I think we're

311
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: all sitting here in this room saying, hey, I think

312
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: he can do that. Uh So, I think from a

313
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, I think it might be a little bit

314
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: of nothing, quite honestly. Um. If anything, I think what

315
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: we saw last year is that Cameron Brake might not

316
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: do anything in those games. I'm actually very very intrigued

317
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: by what O. J. Howard Mike brings to the table

318
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: at the tight end position in those first three games

319
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: with Jameis Winston. I feel he's the guy we haven't

320
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: talked about a whole lot. As we're looking as we

321
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: keep diving deeper down, trying to find the tight end options.

322
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: I feel like we haven't mentioned him. I mean, there

323
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 1: seemed to be a serious connection, was there not between

324
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick and O. J. Howard. Wouldn't throw at the

325
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: Cameron Bridge. He wasn't at all Harvard, No, no, no,

326
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: get out of my way? Where's O J. Howard? If

327
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm not mistaken. A couple of those times it was

328
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: when they were they ran like the same play in

329
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: multiple games that Ryan Fitzpatrick started. That was one of

330
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: those like hit and release things where like O. J.

331
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: Howard came across like I'm a block Q and then

332
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: just slipped across all the way and was wide open

333
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: on the side of the field. But it was not

334
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: sort of like he had some massive preference and was

335
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: like tunnel vision onto O J. Howard. But sure, that's

336
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: something to watch. There's other late round tight ends. I'd

337
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: rather take a stab at. I love O. J. Howard's talent,

338
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: but I'm just worried about his target chair at a baby.

339
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: There you go, All right, let's get on, let's get

340
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: on with it. MG. My guy, Marcus Grant, he's gonna

341
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: defend his honor, defend right. You just wrote a piece

342
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: on NFL dot com slash Fantasy Football. Uh go read it.

343
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: Go read it right now. You could also find this

344
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: piece NFL dot com slash Grant if you would be

345
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: also kind. But Marcus Grant lays out why Tarik Cohen

346
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: is worth his current eighth round a DP. I think

347
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: he's got an a DP somewhere around ninety according to

348
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football, somewhere around there, depending on the day. He's

349
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: either you know, late seventh, early eight. He just kind

350
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: of sends to float, you know, basically basically to put

351
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: on on the week. And we have talked about this

352
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: previously on this podcast. Yes, you all mocked me because

353
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: I said I took Tariko and in uh you guys,

354
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: you guys, I took him like late in the seventh

355
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: round of a mock draft, and you said I was

356
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: the worst worst fantasy ANIMALSTA. So you know, well, thre Cohen. Partially,

357
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: A lot of it has to do with Mattnege showing

358
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: up there in Chicago and really changing that offense. And

359
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: Cohen was a guy who look, I geted his his

360
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 1: fantasy numbers. I think he had like nineties some odd

361
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: points low nineties. Um, you know, nothing that that people

362
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: were clamoring over. But John fought one John Foxx. But

363
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: also he's still got a lot of work. Even with

364
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: John fox I mean he was second on the team

365
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: in touch as I believe. I mean, he saw a

366
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity and when you saw him get the

367
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: ball in his hands, um, you could just see what

368
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: he could do with it. Man. I mean the agility,

369
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: the speed, the explosiveness, all that. Yes, he is small,

370
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: or at least he is short, we'll say that. But

371
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: the guy, he's got a lot of physical ability. First

372
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: of all. Now he's in an offense that does want

373
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: to throw the football, and we talked to it. Maybe

374
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,920
Speaker 1: it's a little bit overblown how much we talk about that,

375
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: but certainly, when it comes to guys in that back

376
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 1: who can catch the football, you're gonna go with Tarik

377
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: Cohen before you go with Jordan Howard. And I still

378
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: think Jordan Howard gets his touches. He's still going to

379
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: be the lead back, he's still gonna get playing opportunity there.

380
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: But you've got now a new creative offensive mind that

381
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: wants to do different things, that's going to take a

382
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,239
Speaker 1: really talented player and find ways to put him all

383
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: over the field and a lot of different opportunities. So

384
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: in that respect, I think Cohen has he's kind of

385
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 1: fit for that role. On top of it, this is

386
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: the Bears offense last year that was not very prolific

387
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,959
Speaker 1: because they just didn't get a lot of opportunities. They

388
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: were about last in the league and number of drives

389
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: they were last, and yeah they I mean they were

390
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 1: near the bottom in in uh you know, yards per drive,

391
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 1: in points per drive. I can't imagine that happens again

392
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: now with Matt Nage. I don't think they turned into

393
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: what we saw with the Chiefs last year. They're not

394
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a juggernaut all of a sudden, but they're

395
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 1: gonna start to improve. And so with more opportunity, that

396
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: means more chances for Cohen to get the ball. That

397
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: means more chances for Allan Robinson whenever he's back, That

398
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: means chances for Trey Burton. I just think there's going

399
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: to be more opportunity in this offense overall, and with everybody,

400
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, trying to find that jack of all

401
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: trades offensive player, Trek Cohen slides in like that, and

402
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: I just I do see a situation where don't worry

403
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,120
Speaker 1: about the rushing yards or the receiving yards individually. Looks

404
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: what he'll give you overall. I think he can get

405
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: close to a hundred to a thousand, eleven hundred yards.

406
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 1: If he can get you, you know, five to seven touchdowns,

407
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: that's a solid RB two from bad. I'm cool with that.

408
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,439
Speaker 1: A thousand thousand and seven. You know you sign up

409
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: for that all day, all day. I mean last year

410
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: and this is not apples. Last year he had about

411
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: seven hundred yards and three touchdowns seven John Fox's offense.

412
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: That's that's it. Jump though, I feel as if we

413
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: shoul give him bonus points without makes it makes good

414
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: points in the article, Marcus. But my like my hesitation

415
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 1: with Turrek Cohen in the eighth is that one of

416
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: the things you talked about was also the parallels of

417
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: like you know, the Tyreek Hill, movable chess piece kind

418
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: of thing ill over the place. But the Bears also

419
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: went out and got that. This year. They went got

420
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel, who is a guy that you can line

421
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: up all over the fields, you can give a little

422
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: bubble screens to who you can send deep uh and

423
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,719
Speaker 1: he could eat into some of that upside and those

424
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: upside plays for Uh Cohen. And also like yes, last

425
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: year if he was second in touches, it's also because

426
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: like who the hell else, not only to get Taylor Gabriel,

427
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: they went on got Allen Robinson, Trey Burton, so like

428
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: you paint, and a believable path for Tarik Cohen to

429
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: having that type of year. I just think there are

430
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: too many other roadblocks in the best sense for the

431
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: Bears offense, like that they have so many other good

432
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: players now, but those will be bumps on the road

433
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: to Tarik Cohen. And also I think it's we I

434
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: think we're also kind of projecting forward for Matt Naggy

435
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 1: right in terms of we haven't actually seen him do

436
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: what he's gonna do as a head coach. Uh, there

437
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: was a lot of their their bloke man. This story

438
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: has been played out many, many times before. A hot

439
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: shot offensive coordinator gets a head coaching gig and everything

440
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: falls flat. I'm not I'm not saying that's Matt Nagy.

441
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying not everybody's gonna be Sean McVeigh, you

442
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So, and I get it's gonna

443
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: be a little bit more high tempo. But there's at

444
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: least some trepidation there, uh in my mind for the

445
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears. But you know, I want to go back

446
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 1: to your column. MG. Okay, you brought up a great point,

447
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: Matt Nagy coming from Kansas City. Can you talk about

448
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: what he did in terms of um, I don't want

449
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: to say transforming. So you go from Tarik Cohen to

450
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill. So he didn't necessarily transform Tyreek Hill. No, man,

451
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. He shepherded him in the right direction.

452
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: I think I think that's that. I think that's the

453
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: best way to describe it, is that he saw what

454
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: was there potentially and found a way to sort of

455
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: unlock that and get the most out of Because Tyreek Hill,

456
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, his he had nine touchdowns as a rookie,

457
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: which is a huge number, huge yardage wise. It was

458
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: finally you had somewhere around eight hundred fifties something like

459
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: that the yardage wise altogether. So that is But I

460
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: think at that point Nage to him and said, Okay,

461
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: this is a guy who can be a matchup nightmare.

462
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: We can line them up in the right spots and

463
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: get him on certain players. And I think and I

464
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: look at that and and and feel like he wants

465
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: to do that with with Tarik Cohen um Man, I

466
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: might be, you know, sort of a a sucker for

467
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: some of the offseason, like I've lined up everywhere and

468
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 1: they want me to do I think I think the

469
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: quote from Cohen was, uh, they want me to do

470
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 1: everything but kick the ball. And if they asked me

471
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: to do that, I'll do that too, Uh, you know,

472
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: something to that effect. So I just I see that

473
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: as as Nagy kind of Obviously the Chiefs to Bears

474
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: is not a one to one comparison in terms of

475
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: their personnel, but I think in terms of trying to

476
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: find some of those similar roles, I think I think

477
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: Nagy at least is identifying guys who could kind of

478
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: do some of those other things. I think another reason

479
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: for the optimism too, uh And again I know I

480
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: just kind of splashed little cold water on there, but

481
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: I think part of I think part of the reason

482
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: for the for the optimism too is the fact that hey, listen, man,

483
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: Mitchell Drubiskie, he's got a big arm. We don't know

484
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: whether or not he's going to be terribly accurate, because

485
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: I don't think he was terribly accurate at North Carolina.

486
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: But um, a big arm tends to erase a lot

487
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 1: of the mistakes sometimes, you know what I'm saying, at

488
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: least from an offensive production standpoint, From a production standpoint,

489
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: wins and losses, I don't know, man, But bottom line

490
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 1: is I think you know, Mitchell Trobiski being back there

491
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: slaying the rock all over the place, certainly, I think

492
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: it lends itself to to hoping optimism. Uh for a

493
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: lot of folks, who are you know, picking the Bears

494
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: at least to make a huge leap in twenty You

495
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: don't care how many games they went. I just need

496
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: those yards. That's that's right on the Bears. They play

497
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 1: in the NFC North. But the rossa reset today is

498
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: on the a f C North. We're gonna go top

499
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: to bottom. We'll start, you know. It's I look at

500
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: this division, guys, uh, and as I was putting the

501
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: rundown together, it's pretty much the same old, same old,

502
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: except for the Browns. I mean all across the board

503
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: there are there are There haven't been too many splashy

504
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: uh signings or draft picks or whatever it might be.

505
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 1: We'll get to all of there are some moves could

506
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: have big ripple effects. That sure, we're not gonna spend

507
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: minutes and minutes upon Mason Rudolph and that that's a

508
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: negative ghost writer. We will start with the Steelers. You

509
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: mentioned Mason Rudolph, uh thirteen and three last hear a

510
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: lot of folks expecting again big things from the Pittsburgh

511
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: Steelers going offensively again. Nothing really has changed, man, I

512
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: love Bell franchised again. Love Bell top three pick, Antonio Brown,

513
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: a top six pick, Juju Smith Schuster comes with the

514
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: top fifty price tag if that is your flavor. Big

515
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: Ben a late round quarterback and a good streamer if

516
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: you want to do it that way. Am I missing

517
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: anything with the Pittsburgh Steeler from a perspective? I think

518
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing with the Steelers is the

519
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: guy who's not there, and that's Mark Davis Bryant, which

520
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: which opens some things up. I think more for for

521
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 1: juju Um but Vance McDonald maybe uh, he's still there

522
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: as their tight end right because they the former picked

523
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: him up. Maybe somebody to keep an eye on for

524
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: streaming what Otherwise, Now we know what the Steelers are,

525
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: We know where the bread is buttered. As do. They

526
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: don't really have much else to discuss here, would be

527
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: honest opinion. The Ravens nine and seven last year, they

528
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: were second in that division, and it's a wide receiver overhaul.

529
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 1: They signed Michael Crabtree and his gold chains from Oakland.

530
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: He got snatched from Oakland. John Brown and his one

531
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: and a half functional hamstrings they signed away for Arizona.

532
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: And they signed Willy Snead. I don't have anything snarky

533
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: to say about Willie Sneed. They signed Willie Sneed from

534
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: New Orleans. All right, we'll start with Michael Crabtree. Alright,

535
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: fourteen games last year, fifty eight reception, six hundred and

536
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 1: eighteen yards, did chip in with eight touchdowns, so he

537
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: was a touchdown maker and he has been a touchdown

538
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: maker throughout his career as well. But the six hundred

539
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: and eighteen yards certainly, um not great. It's not great,

540
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: a bob. I'd point those fingers more at the Raiders

541
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: in their offense in general, offense was real bad. But

542
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 1: what do we make of the We'll start again with

543
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: Michael crabtre wouldn't make of that signing there in Baltimore

544
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: ex skill hard. I think he's a great discount wide

545
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: receiver one on this team. He's more of a wide

546
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: receiver two three in fantasy to get here, but we

547
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: saw it for a while. You know, Jeremy Macklin had

548
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: some usable weeks last year for the Ravens, as did

549
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace. But crab Tree is gonna come in. He's

550
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: he's younger and healthier than those two guys, and he's

551
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: gonna give Flacco or Lamar Jackson a very reliable target

552
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: and a great threat in the red zone. So he's

553
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: not a guy that I think you're gonna get and

554
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: every week you're gonna be like, whoa, Michael Crabtree. Whatever's

555
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: a week, but you're gonna get that. You're gonna get there.

556
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 1: And if it's especially like it's PRM, I'll be like,

557
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,479
Speaker 1: you know, five for seventy in a touch, Like, all right,

558
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: you'll sign up for that. All right, It's not every week,

559
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: but you know he's gonna put up regular numbers for you, right,

560
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: Like I feel like his numbers in Baltimore won't be

561
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: drastically different than his numbers in Oakland. Yeah, I mean,

562
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: that's that's not a knock on him at all. And

563
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,119
Speaker 1: I would hope. I mean, I hope they're a bit

564
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 1: different than last year, but years before, like close to

565
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: a thousand and eight touchdowns this year, even last year though,

566
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he had been the best fantasy receiver in

567
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: Oakland the last few weeks single time, while he had

568
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: been hyping a Marie Cooper and people were drafting him first,

569
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: that was Michael Crabtree putting up the better numbers. So

570
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 1: I do I think, I mean, I can see him

571
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: getting back to you know, nine hundred yards, a thousand

572
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: yards again, you know, six to eight touchdowns. That's fine.

573
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that. Fans football calcular has Michael Crabtree

574
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: early seventh round, uh, just on a twelve team like

575
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: but it was perfect a DP in the late seventies

576
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: for those folks who might be interested in his services.

577
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 1: John Brown ten games last year, he only had five starts,

578
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: one receptions, two yards, three touchdowns, really nothing to write

579
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: home about. But um playing again as a speedster on

580
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: the opposite side, it certainly could open some doors for

581
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: this offense that has really predicated itself on play action,

582
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: in the ability for Joe Flacco UH to be able

583
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: to connect on a long ball. And again we don't

584
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: know necessarily if Joe Flacco is going to be that

585
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: guy through sixteen games, but who knows. Whatever, we know

586
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: that the skill set is still there. John Brown's their

587
00:27:55,080 --> 00:28:00,400
Speaker 1: deep threat. But that being said, I cannot imagine anybody

588
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: drafting John Brown. No, uh, maybe a late round flyer

589
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: in a deeper in a deeper league, but he's probably

590
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: a guy I'm just gonna keep an eye on for

591
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, um, because for John Brown to hit

592
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: in fantasy, we need like multiple things to go right

593
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: from multiple players. We need Joe Flacco's back to hold

594
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: up and him to regain that arm strength from earlier

595
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: in his career, because I mean, it's tough to chuck

596
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: that rock deep if you've got a bomb back. And

597
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 1: we need John Brown's likes to hold up and need

598
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,879
Speaker 1: to return to that form we saw when he was

599
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: a perennial breakout candidate. Currently undrafted outside of the top

600
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,679
Speaker 1: two hundred on Fantasy Football Calculator. Willie Sneed eleven games,

601
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 1: seven starts last year. Clearly it was it was a

602
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: struggle for Willie Sneed in New Orleans. Eight receptions, nine

603
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: two yards, zero touchdowns. But between okay, those two seasons.

604
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: If you took the average there, he averaged seventy receptions,

605
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: nine hundred and forty yards and four touchdowns. Very usable

606
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: as a fantasy asset. What do we think of Willie

607
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 1: Sneaed now in Baltimore playing that slot receiver role, Alex

608
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: gillhun if I'm not drafting John Brown, I'm not as

609
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: simple as that John Brown would be. Way I had

610
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: a Willie Sneed woe. Oh man, I don't know about Sneed.

611
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: Sneed had some had some good times. But he also

612
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: you know, he got like suspended last year. It didn't

613
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: quite lookally the same player, and he feels like a

614
00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: little bit more of a possible like reclamation project with

615
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: the Ravens, where I think Brown is going to be

616
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: seeing the field a little more regularly and he has

617
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,959
Speaker 1: higher upside because he can get deep and he's got

618
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: that breakneck speed. Really. Sneed currently undrafted on Fantasy Football

619
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: Calculator as well. Uh they they the Baltimore Ravens also

620
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: drafted explosive quarterback out of Louisville. Uh. You know, it's interesting.

621
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: There seems to be some growing momentum that drafting Lamar

622
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 1: Jackson as a late round pick could pay huge dividends.

623
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: It's almost a lottery ticket style chick. Uh. Does Lamar

624
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 1: Jackson have a realistic chance to do something like Deshaun

625
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 1: Watson did last year? Given Joe Flacco is in front

626
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: of him there in Baltimore, MGM Marcus, he does. And

627
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 1: and I mean I am on the Lamar Jackson train.

628
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm gonna spend a late round

629
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: pick on him, just because I'm not in the business

630
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: of generally drafting two quarterbacks. Um, but you know, he's

631
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: the guy that I'm certainly keeping I'm keep an eye

632
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: on Joe Flacco because I fully believe that Lamar Jackson

633
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: is going to start at some point this season. I

634
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: don't know when exactly, but it's going to be their

635
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: starter at some point this year. Um. I just I

636
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: just don't know if it happens. I just don't know.

637
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: I mean, like, what what has Joe Flacco done to

638
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: just merit, you know, and just all this consideration to

639
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: be the starter. I think if he starts slowly, if

640
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: the team starts poorly, I think they're gonna look at

641
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: really making a change. But when that happens, then I

642
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: will run in battle on the waiver wire, but I'm

643
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: not I'm not going to spend a draft pick on it.

644
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: Fair enough. I just feel like John Harball is one

645
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: of them old school cats, you know what I mean,

646
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: where he's gonna stick with this guy. And maybe they

647
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: developed Lamar Jackson as a season goes along, but I

648
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 1: don't know. For whatever reason, I just got the feeling

649
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: that John Harball is not that dude that's going to

650
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: bring in the rookie quarter except that, like you know,

651
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: there's there's all this these whispers that Harbaugh could be

652
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: on the hot seat if things start to go back

653
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: on the hot seat. I mean, is he gonna go

654
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: down with Joe Flacco when he's got this young rookie

655
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: sitting on the bench. I guess I guess my thought

656
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: was that he wasn't on the hot seat. That to

657
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 1: me is that's crazy. I mean, let's not also forget

658
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: his brother was a stick with, stick with your guy

659
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: kind of coach. But then uh famously famously put Kaepernick

660
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: in over over Smith Alex Smith and kept him there

661
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: and Smith was younger and healthier than Flack Overs. It's

662
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: one of his better seasons. I think I think we

663
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: might see Lamar Jackson. This here, they foolish to take

664
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: a draft pick on him. And if you're not playing

665
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: in a best ball style format, where because maybe your

666
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: third third quarterback taken just because quarterback is insanely deep

667
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: as it was most years, but especially this year, now

668
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: that we've had golf tape, Golf and Wentz take the

669
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: next step, Jimmy Apolo's out from the shadow, Brady and starting,

670
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck we think is coming back, Mahomes is starting,

671
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: Alex Smith is still starting. Case Keenum emerged, is somebody

672
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: that can be Fantasy relevant. Marcus Mariota has a new coach.

673
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: Maybe the corpse of Eli Manning is going to get

674
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: that's too hard, that's too harsh, the you know, but

675
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: Eli Manning is nearly around him. That just what I mean,

676
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: Like even I was looking at the quarterback ADPs on

677
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: fancy bootball calculator right now, and like you get into

678
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: the twenties before there are guys that like aren't reasonable

679
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: starters that could put up like semi decent fantasy weeks

680
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: over Lamar Jackson who may never see the field. Just

681
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: something again, it's fits fair question. I think you're starting.

682
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: You read some of the stuff that that is on

683
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: Twitter sometimes you know what I'm saying, and seems to

684
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a growing momentum, I think.

685
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: For it's also the we're at the point of the

686
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: season where there's like no new news coming out. People

687
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: just spinning for a while, and people are getting that

688
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: Pepe Sylvia like conspiracy boards from Always Sunny. But and

689
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: then we've talked about the back to the lot. But

690
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,959
Speaker 1: Alex Collins, get him. I love him. I like him

691
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: a lot. Danny Wood had retired. Oh by the way,

692
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 1: Ben Ben Watson rather let in the NFL this year.

693
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: Al Right, there you go. The Bengals were seven and

694
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: nine last year. I was actually surprised. They looked just atrocious.

695
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: They looked, I mean just atrocious. Last year. Seven or

696
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: nine actually was pretty probably pretty good for them, quite honestly.

697
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: Uh the offensive line. It started there, man, the old

698
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: line looked like trash last year. Andrew Whitworth and remember

699
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: Kevin Zeitler both left that previous offseason and the old

700
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: line took a massive hit. Traded for the Bengals did

701
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: this offseason for left tackle Corty Glen from Buffalo, huge

702
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: acquisition from them. I feel like we haven't talked about

703
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: that enough. They drafted Billy Price from Ohio State at

704
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: center in the very first round, so they're the Bengals

705
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: are trying to address that offensive line. I think they

706
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: did it. Moves, you know, John Zero moves in the

707
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: offensive line, Corty glenn Man. He's a good player. He's

708
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: a good player. And uh, and again I don't know

709
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: about college offensive lineman. That's not that's not my cup

710
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: of tea. But Billy Price staying in the first round,

711
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: and the consensus is that that was a smart move, right.

712
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 1: They need they had a hole at center and he's

713
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: going to fill that for them and is the type

714
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: of guy that can come in and start right away

715
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: and they not make a ton of mistakes. A J.

716
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: Green entering his age thirty season last year in A J.

717
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: Green a hundred and forty three targets a lot for him,

718
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: actually seventy five receptions, so not a good catch, right,

719
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: But again the offensive trash one thousand and seventy eight

720
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: yards receiving yards for a J. Green to go along

721
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: with eight touchdowns. He actually had a uh, fairly decent

722
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: season all things considered. Again, that offense man just look

723
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: like an absolute train wreck. Well, I think the thing

724
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,400
Speaker 1: to remember is I was going to say, as you

725
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: said that earlier, is that the Bengals were like, we're

726
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 1: a tale of two teams last year, because what everybody remembers,

727
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,879
Speaker 1: especially are those first two games where they got shut

728
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: out by the Ravens and then where they went to

729
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: Houston couldn't score against the Texans and Deshaun Watson came

730
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: in and beat them. But then after that they took

731
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: the Packers to overtime. Uh, they had a couple other

732
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: good games in there, and they were actually, uh it's

733
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: it seems like an eternity ago. But sitting at five

734
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: and seven. The first week in December, they were in

735
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: the playoff may Um and the and they lost on

736
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: like a missed field goal just about to the Steelers.

737
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: Like the Steelers world beaters, super Bowl bound Bengals came in.

738
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: I mean, these games are always close, but they were close.

739
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:34,799
Speaker 1: That game took the soul out of the Bengals. They

740
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: got smacked by the Chicago Bears thirty or three to seven.

741
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 1: Then they got smacked again by the Vikings next week's

742
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 1: at thirty four to seven. However, the Bengals finished strong

743
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: they in consecutive weeks knocked out teams with playoff hopes

744
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: because they beat the Lions. The Lions needed to beat

745
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: the Bengals to still be in the mix for the

746
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: playoffs with the Packers being out of it. The Bengals

747
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 1: beat them soundly seventeen and then they went and beat

748
00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: the Ravens, who was like a win an in situation

749
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: for the six and got the Bills into the playoffs.

750
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: So like, they ended strongly. And you know, their offense

751
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,240
Speaker 1: also went through some ups and downs because they switched

752
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: coordinators and we've talked about they fired their quarterback after

753
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: two weeks. Well, no, they fired their coordinator and then promoted, uh,

754
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: their quarterback coach, Bill Laser, and he's staying for the

755
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: offense now. So you look at I kind of like

756
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals this year as an underrated fantasy team because

757
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: you look at they have coordinator consistency, They've improved their

758
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: offensive line. Uh, they're getting players back for that are healthy.

759
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: John Ross by all reports this offseason has actually like

760
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: looked like a player that could have merited first round consideration.

761
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 1: Let's let's wait untill we see it on the field.

762
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying like from a guy that honestly,

763
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 1: like the reports last year sounded like he could have

764
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 1: just gotten cut last year, like it would have been unheard.

765
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: So like, but to go from like ultimate doghouse to

766
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: actually the team being like, we're really proud of this

767
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: guy's putting in the work. We're happy for him. Not

768
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,400
Speaker 1: like best shape of his life. Stuff we'll see, but

769
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: he's coming back, Tyler Eiffert, who knows, but he could

770
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: be healthy. But most importantly, the improved offensive line will

771
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: help a j Greens back and then Joe Mixon and

772
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 1: Gio Bernard in the back backfield. See, I had spent

773
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: all this time, you know, I have like a kind

774
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: of a list of players in my head that I

775
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: consider to be like my, my, you know what, I'd

776
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,760
Speaker 1: rather not, You'd rather have somebody else be the headache.

777
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon had been on that list. But now listen

778
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: to Alex talking, I'm suddenly like intrigued and yet maybe

779
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: take a shot at him. I am actually I'm actually

780
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what man. Jeoe Bernard right now has

781
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: an ADP around one fifty. Okay, Joe Mixon alternately has

782
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: an ADP. Give me Jeo Bernard. Geo Bernard to me

783
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: was the just the straight up better player last year. Um,

784
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if the offensive line,

785
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, if that means Joe Mixon when he gets

786
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: the ball, he's gonna have more space, blah blah blah

787
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: blah blah. But the playmaker in that backfield last year

788
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: was clearly Jeo Bernard, and I think they tried to

789
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 1: force Mixing to be a productive player and he just

790
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,320
Speaker 1: did not answer that. Bill. Uh So, I'm I'm intrigued

791
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: by that backfield and I don't think a lot of

792
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 1: folks were saying it's a backfield battle, but in my mind,

793
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: I think it is. I really do think it is.

794
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a one two punch and

795
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 1: mix it to be the one. But at their I

796
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: would be very cool with Mixon if he was more

797
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: in the like Lamar Millet Miller draft range. You're like

798
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: fifth round, six round like, because then you've got that

799
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: you've got that tantalizing upside. But yeah, second, second round,

800
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: even third. I'm a little squeamish on Joe Mixon, but

801
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: I do think there's a story you can tell yourself,

802
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: like he had a hundred seventy touches last year only

803
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: average three point five yards per carry because the offensive

804
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 1: line he didn't play that great a lot of times.

805
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: But there were flashes, so you have to wonder if

806
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: maybe there was some I mean, running back is the

807
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: easiest position we hear all the time to transition to

808
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. Maybe there were some hiccups. Maybe you know,

809
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: maybe he was growing as changing offenses. But uh, yeah,

810
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 1: I like too. Brown is a great value. I gotta

811
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: be honest with you, man, I mean, you look at

812
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: the ADP right now for various guys on Fantasy foot. Okay,

813
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: so Joe makes it alright, right after him, we've got

814
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. I'd rather have him Derrick Henry, rather have

815
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: him Tyreek kill Derrick Henry on what what platform we're

816
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: looking at? Calculate it's it's aggressive, but I still rather

817
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: have him over Joe. That. Uh we's gone to Pete Hayes.

818
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: By the way, Yes we have Aaron Rodgers, is there,

819
00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 1: Doug Baldwin, Jed Gi, Josh Gordon, Darius Guys, Adam thieland

820
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey, t Y Hilton. Give me all of those

821
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 1: guys ahead of Joe, Mixon, I just right now in

822
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: that middle of the second round. That's a that's a

823
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: non starter for me. Man, that's a non starter from me.

824
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: But again, you you mentioned it, since then I did

825
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: addresser offensive line. So certainly some I guess hoping optimism,

826
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,360
Speaker 1: maybe some upside exists with Joel Mixon. All right, the

827
00:39:56,440 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: Browns last year, oh and sixteen all in sixteen the

828
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: brown This is the first time hearing of that, uh,

829
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: talk about hope and optimism. Man, Holy hell, there's a

830
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: lot of thought and sentiment that uh that we're watching

831
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 1: p K's I'm sorry, just buried it, but no, there's

832
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of thought and momentum. Now

833
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: I think that the Browns could legitimately be um a

834
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: playoff contender here slowed down, slowed down, Hey, lesson lesson,

835
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: very well respected. Mike Clay has them projected to be, uh,

836
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,360
Speaker 1: one of those teams that could be sneaking into the playoffs.

837
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, let's let's calm down on that. I

838
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: think I think I looked through and I think I

839
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: had them. I think I had them more like six

840
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: and ten, which for them is a that's a quantum

841
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: le forward like They've literally won one dame last two series,

842
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: right exactly exactly, so I don't know. Anyways, Let's get

843
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,919
Speaker 1: to their to their roster resent show. Uh Isaiah crow Well,

844
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: he walked the Browns, then signed Carlos High and then

845
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: promptly drafted highly regarded running back Nick Chubb to form

846
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: a dreaded three headed committee with Duke Johnson as well.

847
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: I mean, talk about a team that was busy this offseason. Man.

848
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: They traded for Jarvis Landry, they traded away a fourth

849
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: and a seven to acquire that wide receiver. Then he

850
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: forms a formidable wide receiver trio with Josh Gordon and

851
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: possibly because there's trade rumors right now, Corey Coleman alongside

852
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 1: explosive Ted and David and Joeku Well. By the way,

853
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: they traded for Tyrod Taylor, they traded away a third

854
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,919
Speaker 1: round pick, and then they drafted Baker Mayfield as well.

855
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 1: I mean on the offensive side of the ball. It's

856
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,080
Speaker 1: one of the deeper teams in the NFL, is it not?

857
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: Carlos High and Nick Chubb Duke Johnson at running back.

858
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: You got Jarvis Landry, Josh Gordon, Corey Coleman as a

859
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver, and even too deep. I think at quarterback

860
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: as well, with Tyrod Taylor and Baker Mayfield is well

861
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,359
Speaker 1: this this is a deep offensive team in my mind,

862
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: and I think that's a big reason why a lot

863
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: of folks are are pretty optimistic about what the future

864
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,439
Speaker 1: might hold and unentail. For the Cleveland Browns, absolutely there there.

865
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: It's certainly an overhaul and they have a lot of talent. Now,

866
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,320
Speaker 1: there are only really three to four pieces of this

867
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: offense I want to consider fantasy. They are Josh Gordon,

868
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry if he falls late enough where he's going

869
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 1: right now, no, thank you, uh, Duke Johnson, and then

870
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 1: maybe David and joeku By. I mean it's it's too

871
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're in a deeper league and you

872
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: totally miss the run on tight ends, you could take

873
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: in joku and just be aware that you may need

874
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 1: to stream quickly afterwards. But our friend T. J. Hernanda

875
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: is over at UH four for four wrote is writing

876
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: a nice series of offseason about the impact of play

877
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:48,280
Speaker 1: caller changes, and it was looking at Todd Haley's history

878
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 1: and how he's always traditionally at his many many stops

879
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: skewed pass heavy and when you combine that with the

880
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,240
Speaker 1: facts that while this Brown's offense is loaded, the defense

881
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 1: isn't quite there yet, and also happens to have Greg

882
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: Williams still running the show, who likes to line his

883
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: safety up. You know, in another county, are they doing that?

884
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,359
Speaker 1: Odds are the Browns will be needing to put up

885
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 1: a lot of points and will be on on offense

886
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: quite quite a bit, which would then tend to favor

887
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: the primary pass catchers, which would be Gordon Landry and

888
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. He wrote a great article about it, to

889
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: check out TJ stuff at four for four. But I

890
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 1: I understood. I liked his logic there, and that's also

891
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: I mean, but then the reason even before that, I

892
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: don't want to touch Chubb or high it is like,

893
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 1: why do I want like duplicative talents on a lower

894
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,319
Speaker 1: scoring offense like that are going to eat into each

895
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: other's work. Well it maybe maybe one of them emerges, No,

896
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they certainly could. But like, and I

897
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: think part of it too is you're chasing talent because look,

898
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,319
Speaker 1: Carlos Hot I think is a talented player. I don't

899
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 1: chase talent anymore, not about that life. I'm just saying,

900
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: a lot of folks they chase some talent. I'll chase

901
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: talent all day long. No, England just got a p saved.

902
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: No hender City place from Liverpool too, by the way,

903
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: an amazing safe. It's a very good safe. Oh no,

904
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean I think a lot of folks

905
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: might be chasing some saves there, um, chasing some saves,

906
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: missing some talent there? What a Greg That was an

907
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: amazing sound, amazing saying dude, well we're almost over, We're

908
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: almost there. Who else has thoughts on the Brown's off?

909
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. Okay, we should we just move on?

910
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's just move Browns. I'm sorry. We already

911
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: talked about Tyler Tyrod Taylor recently as a quarterback. You

912
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: shouldn't over overlook um, and then those Why why is

913
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor going so late? I don't get it, because

914
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: everybody hates I know, it doesn't make any sense. Thomas retired,

915
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 1: by the way. Uh did they address the offensive line?

916
00:44:41,520 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll see, but the bottom line is

917
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 1: they've got talent on the outsides and in the backfield

918
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 1: as well. Just feel so sorry if you if you

919
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: would DVR this game, and we're watching hopefully by how

920
00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: you stopped because we said we were watching the game

921
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 1: by the time this podcast, I still wow. Just off

922
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,800
Speaker 1: the top shelf, you know, I just hit that sound er.

923
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:10,720
Speaker 1: Let's get that letter Dap steps, dog bites and dipping

924
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: step steps. If you like creepy rabbits, this movie is

925
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: for you. Degenerate art is down there. This is why

926
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: I love this group of guys. Like Daily Dap time,

927
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: let's go Alex galehard kick us off Bell. I mean,

928
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 1: I'd be remiss if I didn't at least Daily Dap

929
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: the World Cup again, because I think I've done it

930
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: for the last like four podcasts. But the World Cup

931
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: has been tremendous. The games have been like exhilarating. We

932
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: have had all sorts of different types of wins. There's

933
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: been a couple of boring ones shure too. I mean

934
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: that happens in any sport. But like, man has the

935
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 1: World Cup been for the drama. It's been been incredibly

936
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: interesting to watch it all on the Japanese the japan

937
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: Belgium game, what the hell that game was? Just? And

938
00:45:57,680 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: then Daily DAPs to NBA Free Agency, to you for

939
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: not failing to disappoint in being weird and just so

940
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: the dropping a bunch of crazy knowledge. Yes, indeed, yes, indeed,

941
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: uh Marcus grant what you got. Yeah, I'm kinda gonna

942
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: double down because that that I was gonna. I was

943
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: going to adapt the the Japan Belgium game because it

944
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: was just next level insane. The whole newsroom came to

945
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 1: a halt and that thing was going on. I say, England, well,

946
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: no pressure, no pressure, Lord Lord, how did you say

947
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:41,040
Speaker 1: that it was impossible? That's impossible? What? Oh, I know,

948
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: this is not great podcast. Whatever, so happens once every

949
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 1: four years. Let us enjoy it. And the other my

950
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:50,640
Speaker 1: other on was actually gonna go to Boogie Cousins because

951
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm a warrior skin and um, you know, I'm embracing

952
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: the black hat theory that you're you're putting out there,

953
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, just just embrace it. Just we're the all black,

954
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: all black jerseys all year because they're the Empire. Just

955
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: play that Imperial March everything, you know. The warriors boo

956
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: them relentlessly. It's great. I mean, you know whatever in

957
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:18,840
Speaker 1: England have won. Wow, unbelievable. Um, yes, I will undap

958
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: the warriors. The NBA's I mean it's over. It's it's

959
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: July and the season is over. That's not fun for me.

960
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: And I love the NBA. Hey, now, I love the NBA,

961
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: and the season is over. I will say though, at

962
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: you know, at some point though, because the because the

963
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,959
Speaker 1: NBA and because we talked about NBA Twitter and stuff

964
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 1: and how fun it is. Like even if you feel

965
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: like your team can't win a championship, I think part

966
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 1: of the fun of the NBA is the personalities and

967
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 1: just all the goofy things that happen on and off

968
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: the floors. So I think, I think, yeah, unless you're

969
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: a you know, Warriors, Rockets, maybe Lakers, Celtics, Sixers, if

970
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: you're a fan of you know, anybody besides those teams,

971
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: just enjoy the sideshow. I It's just weird, man. I mean,

972
00:48:06,719 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: you know, again, I've been an NBA fan my entire life,

973
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: and I cannot remember a time where there weren't at

974
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: least two. I mean people always say, oh, they want parody,

975
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:21,320
Speaker 1: they want part I get that. That being said, you know,

976
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:25,520
Speaker 1: the NBA has done well with two superpowers. There have

977
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 1: to usually be two or three superpowers, um for there

978
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: to be real real interest in the NBA and we've

979
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: seen that going all the way back to those you know,

980
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: Jordan's era, uh type teams. I mean out of the West,

981
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 1: you had Karl Malone, you know, you had those Sonics

982
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: teams or whatever they were, and those teams were very,

983
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: very interesting, you know what I'm saying. But I mean,

984
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: as we stand today, the East is trash. There's I mean,

985
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: Boston's fine and they're a good ball club and they're

986
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,840
Speaker 1: gonna get better, but they're not winning, you know what

987
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, They're not gonna win uh, the NBA Championship.

988
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,759
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's crazy to me that it's

989
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: over in July. It's craziness. And Lebron going the Lakers,

990
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 1: that's fine, it's very interesting. Happy for all the Laker

991
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: fans out there. But again, if given the roster right now,

992
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 1: if you think they're winning more than fifty games, they're not.

993
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: It's a fifty fifty chance whether or not they even

994
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: get out of the second round. I mean, that's that's crazy.

995
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: What if they go what if they get Kawai Still,

996
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 1: if they get Jimmy Butler is upset in Minnesota right now,

997
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: what if what did they get rid of him. Another

998
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: guy who can't shoot, that's gonna go. Jimmy Butler can shoot?

999
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: How dare you? It's like, how dare you gonna? They're

1000
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna run five guys out, Jimmy Butler and Jimmy Butler

1001
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 1: in college wasn't a great shooter. Jimmy buck Jimmy Bucketts

1002
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: in his nickname is Jimmy Buckets. James, he makes buckets,

1003
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: he doesn't make jumpers. This is a difference, all right,

1004
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: doesn't My new plan is, Uh, Jimmy and Kyrie want

1005
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: to play together, so I'm hoping they both finished their

1006
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: contracts now and then they go to Milwaukee. Jimmy, Kyrie, Honice,

1007
00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: let's go. I'm just my new fun thing, Mammy pairing

Speaker 1: every mega free agent to the box they have. Honest,

Speaker 1: He says he doesn't want to leave Daily DAPs. Honest. Yeah,

1010
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 1: he loves Milwaukee. It's his kind of city. He doesn't

1011
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: never want to leave because city something I love. Kyrie

1012
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: is never gonna go to Milwaukee. But yeah, I like

1013
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: what you're going with that, Uh, James, Like, I mean,

1014
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 1: Lebron was gonna come Milwaukee too, but just slightly better.

1015
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:25,920
Speaker 1: Slightly better Daily DAPs to Uh. I found this YouTube

00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 1: also dresses up, Oh my god, he dresses up as

1033
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 1: Clay Thompson and goes to the Warriors game and so

1034
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: many people. He actually got into the players parking lot

1035
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: because people because he was there dressed in a Clay

1036
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: Thompson jersey and people thought he was actually Lay Thompson.

1039
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: I know, we're running along here, don't care. That always thinks.

1040
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: It's the thing that bothers me when I watch commercials

1041
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,280
Speaker 1: with pro athletes and in these commercials are like walking

1042
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: around town doing everyday things, wearing their uniforms and stuff. Right, Like,

1043
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Larry Fitzgerald, you know, he does a

1044
00:51:56,760 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: lot of things in the community. I'm pretty sure you

1045
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: know when he's I don't know, apt the write eight

1046
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: or whatever, Like he's not wearing his red number eleven jersey.

1047
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: I wish there. I wish he would though, that'd be cool.

1048
00:52:08,320 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: No at Okay, that's that's a little bit. So you're right,

1049
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: it's a little bit weird. But yeah, no, that's what

1050
00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:15,760
Speaker 1: I was thinking too. It's like, why would Clay Thompson,

1051
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: of all people be running around in a convertible with

1052
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 1: the Clay Thompson jersey on like that. But but this
