Speaker 1: you a whiskey person? Do you have something that you prefer?

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: So this is where I'm gonna get my Irish card provoked.

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: I guess I am not the biggest fan of Guinness,

19
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: so I'm more of a light beer drinker, so I'm

20
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: probably gonna drink whatever is in the house. But Nicolet's

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: making some corn beef and cabbage with potatoes and stuff,

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: so she's doing that up for me. All right. I

23
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: was gonna say, just maybe if if you're not a Guinness,

24
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: person named Murphy's or a bass maybe something like that.

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't even know if you have

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: those ready for tonight. I don't, but I may walk over.

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: I may walk over to the target next door and

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: go pick up like some some bush Mills or Jamison

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: or something like that, just just to have just just

30
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: like have a sip of it tonight. I will also say,

31
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: by the way, is you may not be a fan

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: of Guinness, but if you ever get over to Ireland

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: and you have Guinness there, it is a whole new world.

34
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: I've been told that, and I believe it because I

35
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: don't love Heineken here, but when I was in Amsterdam,

36
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: it's really good over there. Yeah. I was exactly like you.

37
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: I was to Amsterdam. I had and I'm like, oh,

38
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: I get it now, I understand. But yeah, a Guinness

39
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: is the same way in Ireland. It has ruined it

40
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: for me having it over here back in America. So um,

41
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: we got a lot to talk about. I have a

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: rundown in front of me that is like a mile long.

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: I've got Twitter up in front of me as we

44
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: are recording this because things are likely to change as

45
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: we are going through. Uh, we're still at this moment

46
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: waiting to see what happens with the Shaun Watson will

47
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: certainly dive into that, but obviously free agency has taken hold.

48
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: The frenzy really got going in a big way on

49
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: I guessticularly Monday, but I would say it actually sort

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: of happened on Sunday when the first news that I brought,

51
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: I broke this down, and just for full transparency, I

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: broke this down by position. But chances are we're gonna

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: kind of bounce around this thing based on who we're

54
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: talking about and how this impacts teams as a whole.

55
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,839
Speaker 1: Things sort of got going though in a big way

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday afternoon, while much of the sporting world was

57
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: waiting on selection Sunday and seeing which teams we're going

58
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: to get into the n C two way Tournament, which

59
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: I do have on a television just to my left here. Um,

60
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: but we were all waiting for that. Tom Brady puts

61
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 1: out a statement saying he is coming back for his

62
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: twenty third season. He will be back with the Buccaneers,

63
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: saying there will be a time for him to sit

64
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: in the stands and watch the game, but that time

65
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: is not now. So that completely shook everything up. Um, So,

66
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean, let's just let's just start here, right. I mean,

67
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady last year still great, still an elite quarterback,

68
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: comes back to a situation where he still has plenty

69
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 1: of weapons around him. Um, does he go back to

70
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: being a top ten quarterback in in draft rankings? Now?

71
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: I think so. And for years I was always be like,

72
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's old and he's on a new team, and

73
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: I don't trust him. But after what he's done the

74
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: last two years in this Tampa offense, there's no reason.

75
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't see any reason to believe he's just gonna

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: fall off of a cliff. I mean, you pick a

77
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: stat last year, he pretty much led the quarterbacks in

78
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: it attempts completions, yards to downs. Uh, he was a

79
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: top five fantasy quarterback. And it's kind of crazy to say,

80
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: but I think that's where he belongs to be this year.

81
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: Like for me, Uh, the top three are set in stone.

82
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: You can move him in any order, but I think

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: it is Alan Mahomes Herbert. I have it actually Alan

84
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Herbert Mahomes, but I think you could put those three

85
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: in any order. I have Kyler Murray as my QB four,

86
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: and I think after that Tom Brady likely slides in

87
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: at five, like he's in the same discussion I think

88
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: with like Burrow, Lamar Rogers Wilson. But I mean, how

89
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: can you go against Brady after what he's done the

90
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: last couple of years. I mean that's the thing, right,

91
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: I mean, like I've always said that, I swear of

92
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: like predicting the end of the world, Uh, predicting Tom

93
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: Brady's demise. Eventually you're going to be right. But also,

94
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: like predicting the end of the world, you're probably gonna

95
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: be waiting a long time for it to happen. And

96
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: so uh last year Brady through for fifty yards forty

97
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Uh. And like I said, the cast on

98
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: paper very similar at least receiver. I know Chris Godwin's

99
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: going to be hurt. We'll see when he's going to

100
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: be back, but he will be back. Uh. Mike Evans

101
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 1: obviously is going to be there. We'll see what happens

102
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: with Rob Gronkowski. But at this point, there's just no

103
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 1: reason to doubt Tom Brady. Um, you know, short of

104
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: a major injury, I just don't see how he does

105
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: it continue to put up top five quarterback numbers. And

106
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: you're right, I think he probably gets drafted as a

107
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: top five quarterback. So now because of that, I mean

108
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: we're still We're okay with Mike Evans, with Chris Godwin.

109
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: I guess the bigger question where where do we draft

110
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin? Because we know his course quarterback is gonna

111
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: be it's just about his recovery. Now, um, are we

112
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: still drafting him as what high and wide receiver to

113
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: even though he may miss the start of the season.

114
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: I I think I'm gonna be out on Chris Godwin

115
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: this year because I think that's the price that it's

116
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: gonna take to get him. Like, I think him and

117
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: Mike Evans will go pretty close once again. And I've

118
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: always been off of Mike Evans, but I think this

119
00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: is the year where I'll be more on him than Godwin.

120
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: Dieck is, like you said, god went towards a CEO

121
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: late in the year. He might miss the start of

122
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: the season, and even if when he returns, like is

123
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: he going to be a hundred percent when he comes back?

124
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: I'm not so sure. So if we were getting a discount,

125
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: like if he was going a little bit later than

126
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 1: a high end wide receiver to I would be fine

127
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: um taking him. But seeing where like in early drafts

128
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: and early ranking some people have him like, it's not

129
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: that big of a discount. So maybe things change the

130
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: closer we get, But as of now, I don't see

131
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: myself being super in on Chris Godwin. Yeah, I think.

132
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: I just think that if I can wait if he

133
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: falls down drafts uh and and I can wait a

134
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: little bit longer, sure I'll take the shot on him.

135
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: But knowing that I'm going to have to wait probably

136
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: a few weeks for him makes him a little bit

137
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 1: less attractive, especially if, as you mentioned, people are going

138
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: to be reaching for him. Um. By the way, Chris

139
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: Godwin originally was franchise tag did come to an agreement

140
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: with the Buccaneers, signed a three year deal for sixty

141
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: million dollars, including forty million gearing to you, so he's

142
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: not going anywhere anytime soon. But in the meantime, as

143
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: I said, jumping around here, right, I've got this thing

144
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: broken down by positions. But this seems to segue nicely

145
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: into the fact that the Buccaneers did reach an agreement

146
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: with Russell Gauge, who was formerly of the Falcons, who

147
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: stepped up and and played very well last year for

148
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta for a team that was kind of struggling for

149
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: past catchers, especially after Calvin Ridley stepped away. Now Gauge

150
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: goes to Tampa Bay, and you know, you talk about

151
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: having to reach maybe for Chris Godwin. I get the

152
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: feeling we're going to have to reach for Russell Gauge

153
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: because in the interim before Godwin gets back on the field,

154
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: it just feels like Russell Gauge is set to step

155
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: in there, get a lot of targets and be very

156
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: productive in this offense. Um, where are we drafting him?

157
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: Are we talking fifth sixth round to get Russell Gauge?

158
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: Is that is that reasonable? This year? It all depends

159
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: on Chris Godwin. I think like, if Godwin is out

160
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: for you know, the first month or so, yeah, I

161
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: think he will get pushed up the board. But what

162
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: I'm kind of hoping for markets is the opposite of that, like,

163
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that people keep thinking Godwin's gonna be back

164
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: and Gauge slides a little bit um because for me,

165
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: he's a player that all comes down to where you're

166
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: gonna get him, Like, I don't see myself if he's

167
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: going in the fifth or sixth round, I probably won't

168
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of him because my thinking is

169
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: eventually Godwin will be back and then Gauge becomes the

170
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: third wide receiver again, and that is a role that

171
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: can be useful still, And to your point, I definitely

172
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: don't think enough people realize how good Russell Gauge played

173
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 1: last year, Like he was a top twenty Fantasy wide

174
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: receiver in the final two months of the season. We

175
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: know he can operate well out of the slot, and

176
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: we know that is a spot that Tom Brady is

177
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball to a lot. So for me,

178
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: Gauge all comes down to price. If he gets hyped

179
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: up and pulled up the board, I'll probably be out

180
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: thinking like, Okay, after the first month or so, this

181
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: is gonna become the Chris Godwin Show again. But if

182
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: he slides because of that, I'll take that chance, because again,

183
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: the Bucks receivers haven't always been the most durable, and

184
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: if if they miss any time at all, Chris Uh,

185
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: Russell Gauge could become like a wide receiver too. I think.

186
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a guy who's who's had seven

187
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: hundred seventy yards last year, seven eighties, sixty year before that. Uh,

188
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: and this was sort of working as a secondary option

189
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: in Atlanta. Uh. Now he obviously gets a quarterback upgrade.

190
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: And then look at Matt Ryan. I'm not this isn't

191
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: too dennigrade Matt Ryan, but look, I'm gonna guess that

192
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: everybody's going to take Tom Brady over Matt Ryan, right,

193
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: So this is a quarterback upgrade for him. Um, and

194
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: right now, at least in the short term, and again,

195
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: depending on what happens with Chris Godwin, Uh, there seems

196
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: to be an opportunity for him to get more snaps,

197
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: get more targets, at least in the short term. And

198
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: I think early in the season I expect that the

199
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: arrow is going to be pointing up very much for

200
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: Russell Gauge. Um, you talk about his level of play.

201
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: Our pal Matt Harmon, he of reception perception, who I

202
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: trust wholehearted when it comes to wide receiver evaluations, UH

203
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: scored very highly with Russell Gage in terms of his

204
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 1: ability to run routes and get open uh and be productive.

205
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: So UH, this just seems like a great fit for him.

206
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: It's a great fit for the Bucks. Now the question becomes,

207
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: and we'll see this shake out over the next couple

208
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: of months, is what are the ADP gonna be? How

209
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: excited are people going to be? And how much did

210
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: the factor the long term in with gauges production. That does, though,

211
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: beg the question w t F what the Falcon is

212
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: going to do? Because right now, I mean I joke

213
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: that we're gonna be playing receiver for the Falcons. That's

214
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: not too far off, man. I mean, right now, it's

215
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts and what Wellama days The key is, um,

216
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's it is easily the worst wide receiver

217
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: room in the NFL. Who else is going to catch

218
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: the football besides Kyle Pitts there? I think it all

219
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: depends on on that one quarterback that's holding up all

220
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: of this sign because I think it's the Shawn Wattson

221
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: ends up in Atlanta, it suddenly becomes a much more

222
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: desirable destination for free agent wide receivers like Allen Robinson

223
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 1: remains out there, Will Fuller, who is I think, just

224
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: waiting for Deshaun Watson to sign, to sign wherever he goes. Um,

225
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: like those are options in play, but yeah, right now

226
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:23,559
Speaker 1: it is gross and lucky for them. Kyle Pitts is

227
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: kind of a water not kind of is a wide

228
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: receiver one, kind of masquerading as a tight end because

229
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: I think he is their wide receiver one. But outside

230
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: of him, it gets ugly real fast. And I don't

231
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: know if you saw or not, Kyle Pitts had a

232
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: tweet this morning for like three minutes saying it's about

233
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: to get real scary again in Atlanta. I don't know.

234
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: Maybe he just saw the wide receiver depth chart and

235
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: I decided to tweet that out. Uh yeah, I'd like

236
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: to believe this is, uh, you know, a Deshaun Watson

237
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 1: related tweet, but you could be right. Maybe he just

238
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: looked around at the wide receiver room and said that

239
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: because it's it is gross right down in Atlanta in

240
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: terms of their past catchers. And look, you're right if if,

241
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: as the rumors suggest, uh, Deshaun Watson does go to Atlanta,

242
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: there are some free agent wide receivers out there that

243
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: we can get to a little bit who very well

244
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: may flock down to the Falcons, including a former Falcon

245
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 1: who's now a former Titan. Sure you can figure out

246
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,719
Speaker 1: who that is. Uh. Maybe he decides to come back

247
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: to where he started. Uh, depending on on who is

248
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: the quarterback there. Speaking of quarterbacks. Uh, the Steelers have

249
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: reached the agreement with Mitchell Trubisky, I should say Mitch.

250
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: I believe he has officially told people that he wants

251
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: to be Mitch true Whisky. I think it doesn't changes

252
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: every year, but I think per a D. D King Koblala,

253
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: he has said he prefers to be Mitch Trubisky. So

254
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: let me adjust this here in our rundown. So I

255
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: say this properly, Mitch Drubisky two year deal, fourteen and

256
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: a quarter million dollars. Obviously it takes over for the

257
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: retired Ben Office Burger. We sort of knew that the

258
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 1: Steelers probably weren't going to go into the season with

259
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph as their QB one. Um is Trubisky a

260
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: QB one for fantasy? With the weapons around him in Pittsburgh?

261
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 1: Do you have that kind of faith in him. I

262
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: do not. I think I think he is a quarterback

263
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: to UM. I think he left some some weeks where

264
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: he comes through he'll take advantage of a good matchup

265
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: or something like that. I've been seeing a little bit

266
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: of like I don't want to say panic or maybe

267
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,559
Speaker 1: people aren't too happy in Pittsburgh with this signing, But

268
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: like you compared Rubisky's tenure in Chicago to what Big

269
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: Ben has been the last two years, and it's like

270
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: the pointing Spider Man gifts like they're they're numbers have

271
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: been very similar, except for the fact that I think Trubisky.

272
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: Trubisky has a stronger arm, he's more mobile, So I

273
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: think he just adds um some more versatility to this

274
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: Steeler's offense because with Ben, it was so predictable. They

275
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: were gonna hand the ball off or he was gonna

276
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 1: throw the ball Leston ten yards. Yeah. I think it's

277
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: funny though, is that nothing has really changed for Trubisky, right,

278
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: like he didn't see the field and like it's not

279
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: like you got all this tape on him last year

280
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: to say, hey, you know what that means Trubisky. Let's

281
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 1: like and and all of a sudden. I mean that

282
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: was just talking before free agency started that he was

283
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: going to get the bag. And look, he ends up

284
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: getting a two year deal. He's gonna be in a

285
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: place where he's probably gonna be the starter, right. I

286
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: can't imagine him losing a competition to Mason Rudolph or

287
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 1: Wayne Haskins or anybody like that. Um. It's just it's

288
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: funny to me that, all of a sudden, just a

289
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: year or two away from being a starter. Uh, people

290
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 1: really feel like, hey, you know what, let's let's turn

291
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: back to him and give him an opportunity. Maybe it

292
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: works out. I just think the whole thing is kind

293
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: of amusing. Um is this good for Deance Johnson, for

294
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 1: Nagie Harris? Uh, you know, obviously they didn't have a

295
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: quarterback last year that could push the ball downfield. Now

296
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: they do. I would think that, just at least on

297
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: its face, this seems like good news for those guys.

298
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: I think it. Yeah. I think like his arm strength

299
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: leads to more downfield shots for Deontay Johnson. The only

300
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: concern that I have is we knew he was a

301
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: lock to get double, like basically double digit targets every

302
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: single game with Ben Roethlisberger. I just have a little

303
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: bit of concern about that. Not that I think he's

304
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: not their number one wide receiver or the game plan

305
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: is going to change, just there was a natural chemistry

306
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: there between those two that we have to wait and see.

307
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: The Other thing i'd weary a little bit about with nausey,

308
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: is I mean Ben felt any sort of pressure that

309
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: ball was getting out right, Bisky's a little bit more mobile,

310
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: maybe it leads to a little less dump offs. But

311
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: one thing I did see when I looked back at

312
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: Schrubisky's tenure with Chicago, he threw a lot to the

313
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: tight ends. Maybe that was by design or by personnel,

314
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: or maybe it's just something strubhiskey likes. So I came

315
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: away from this signing feeling best about Pat friar Mooot's

316
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: fantasy arrow pointing out what I think I would like

317
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on um. And it may take

318
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: us a few weeks to learn this is when he

319
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: was in Chicago, they threw the ball a lot to

320
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: Tarik Cohen, And that's one Was that by design or

321
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: was that just because that's where Trubisky felt comfortable going

322
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: with the football. If it was by design, That makes

323
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: me a little bit worried about Naji Harris because even

324
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: though he can catch the ball, that's not necessarily what

325
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: was in the offensive scheme. It was, as you mentioned it,

326
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: when Ben felt pressure, he knew he could kind of

327
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: outlet it to his running back and let Naji Harris

328
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: do the work. Um, Tarik Cohen was a weapon in

329
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: the passing game for the Chicago Bears. So I sort

330
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: of want to get a feeling for will Harris get

331
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: targets because that's just how Trubisky is comfortable operating. Do

332
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: they need to kind of scheme thing for him to

333
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: get those targets? Uh, that's one thing that I don't

334
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: have an answer to yet, and and something that I

335
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: want to kind of watch and kind of keep an

336
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: eye on. And again, maybe a couple of weeks into

337
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: the season before we even get a good gauge on

338
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: that one. Um in Minnesota, Kirk Cousins signs a one

339
00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: year deal extension worth five million dollars. I'm sorry, I

340
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: have to just have to stop and catch my breath

341
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: and my thirty five million dollars for Kirk Cousins on

342
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: the one word, Mayweather of quarterbacks man No one's better

343
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: at legalized bank robbin than he is. I mean, just

344
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: to get the bag all star right for for Kirk Cousins, um,

345
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: and I saw I looked at this though, right, and

346
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: this is a guy who the last few years has

347
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: been a fringe QB one. Right. Last year he finishes

348
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: as the QB eleven. He was the QB eleven there

349
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, where was hes QB thirteen, which just outside

350
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: the top twelveen QB eleven again. I mean I'm sensing

351
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: a theme here. Seventeen his last really big year where

352
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: he was the QB six. Um, I'm not so much

353
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: worried about the salary because it's not coming out of

354
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: my pocket. But in terms of fantasy football, do we

355
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: still trust him to be a QB one is he's

356
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: still that fringe guy that kind of hangs around on

357
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: the bottom part of the top twelve every week. He

358
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: at year's end he probably will be. I don't have

359
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 1: him ranked in my in my early top twelve. I

360
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: wrote about this a couple of weeks ago, and he

361
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: was just outside the top twelve. But then we had

362
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: to sense add Tom Brady in. Um. Look, there's there's

363
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: a lot of talent at the quarterback position. There's the

364
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 1: elite three that I mentioned earlier than there's Kyler, Brady,

365
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: Lamar Burrow, Russ Rogers. I I can't put him over

366
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: any of those guys. I still have him behind like

367
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and Dac and Trey Lance, who I am

368
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: very excited about next season, and Stafford. So that's that's

369
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: twelve names right there. So he's just I have like

370
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: him and Justin Fields and who knows what DeShawn Watson

371
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: as well. Those guys are like in a tear right

372
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: outside the top twelve that they all have top twelve potential,

373
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: but there's only you know, you can only fit twelve names,

374
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: and there's like fifteen candidates. So Kirk, because I think

375
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,399
Speaker 1: his upside is lower than the bunch, I have him

376
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: outside of it, but he'll probably be a quarterback one

377
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: at years then. Yeah, it's just it's just, you know,

378
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 1: after all these years, we sort of know what we

379
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: get with Kirk Cousins. Um. There will be huge games,

380
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: there will be some really bad games. Uh, And you're right,

381
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the year, you may ride the

382
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: roller coaster and he'll be, you know, hanging around eleven

383
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: or twelve, and you know he's fine. I guess the

384
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: other part of it is, if you are drafting Kirk Cousins,

385
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: you're probably drafting a second quarterback. You're you're not You're

386
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: not drafting him to be your weekly starters, So you

387
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: sort of understand that. Going in other bit of quarterback

388
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: news for free agency, Teddy Bridgewater gets one year deal

389
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: worth up to ten million dollars with the Miami Dolphins. Uh,

390
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: we have seen Bridgewater can kind of be a nice

391
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: seat filler. I didn't want to say a bridge quarterback

392
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: because it just seemed too you know, hackey. But uh,

393
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: is this good news or bad news for two who

394
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: just always seems to be on the hot seat no

395
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: matter what he does. I feel like bringing in a

396
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: guy like Teddy if you're too you're kind of kind

397
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: of looking over your shoulder because you know, kind bad games.

398
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: They've got a competent backup right there. Yeah, I think

399
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: this is bad news for ta. I get it, like

400
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: he's missed a lot of time due to injury. You

401
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: needed a better backup than someone like Jacoby bris said,

402
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: who did a solid job. But Teddy Bridgewater, I think

403
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: we would all agree is the better option there this. Yeah,

404
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: like you said, a couple of bad games out of

405
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: TOA and you're gonna hear a lot of rumblings about

406
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: getting Teddy in there, because Teddy isn't you know, he's

407
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: on a like an All Star or anything like that.

408
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: But he's just a very serviceable, like average league average

409
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, where I'm not so sure to is just yet.

410
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: I think to his upside is higher and that's why

411
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: they'll ride with him. But yeah, it's it's definitely not great.

412
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: And I was also surprised, given all the teams that

413
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 1: need quarterbacks, that Teddy took a backup job like on

414
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: day one. I was a little surprised by that. Yeah,

415
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: that is a little bit surprising because we're talking about

416
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,239
Speaker 1: teams that are still looking. I mean, the Seahawks are

417
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: still looking, the Cults are still looking. I mean, technically

418
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: the Saints and Falcons, I guess are sort of looking.

419
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: Uh And I can tell you as of right now,

420
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: there's another team that potentially is looking for a quarterback.

421
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 1: That's the Cleveland Browns. Um they were very much flirting

422
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson over the last couple of days. Baker

423
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: Mayfield put out you know, you always know when somebody's

424
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: feelings are really hurt because they go to the notes

425
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: app and then they type a big, long statement and

426
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: they put it on Instagram and Twitter. Um, that's what

427
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: happened with Baker Mayfield. We also learned that his middle

428
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: name is Reagan, which to me was kind of the

429
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway in that whole thing. But Baker Mayfield has

430
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: requested a trade. This reported by Uh sure. I I'm

431
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: not a Baker guy. I got a Baker fan. I'm

432
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: gonna put that out there. But I kind of love

433
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: this because all the reports that were they were like, oh,

434
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: we only were going to move on from you if

435
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 1: we could get a better It's like, all right, well

436
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: then move on from me now. I kind of like that.

437
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: I think these are two toxic people who are experiencing

438
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: a really public divorce. Um. You know, like there anyone,

439
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 1: uh any famous people that come to mind right now?

440
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. I can't imagine. Maybe somebody that you know,

441
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: rhymes with stim start ash and I don't know, maybe

442
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 1: uh yeah, So Baker has requested a trade. Um. According

443
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 1: to Pellicero, Cleveland had been hoping to move forward after

444
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: it's Deshaun Watson pursuit and offered to fly to Texas

445
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: to meet with Mayfield. But from the QB's perspective, the

446
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: bridge is burned and it's time to move on now.

447
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: So I mean, I guess I get it from both sides,

448
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: Bakers and uh Davidson. Now that's what we gotta figure out.

449
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: We'll find out, right. I guess whoever they trade for

450
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: automatically becomes Pete Davidson. I don't know if that's I

451
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: don't know if that's a yah. You think that quarterback

452
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: will tattoo browns on their Uh Pete Davidson is going

453
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: to space, by the way, which is wild. He's the

454
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: biggest winner of all of that, right, I understand like

455
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 1: he's got something going on, and I need a little

456
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: bit of that in my life, because, man, Pete Davidson

457
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: is he's he's apparently it uh uh other big news.

458
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: I knew things are gonna happen as we were recording

459
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: this PELASERA reporting right now Allan Robinson to the rams. Wow,

460
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: So let's just let's just talk about that right now. U.

461
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson to the Rams. Um obviously is a good landing.

462
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: Spot for him. Uh, he's gonna be in a situation

463
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: where you know, there's he's in a good offense. We

464
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: can now say Matthew Stafford is the best quarterback that

465
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson will have played with. Right, we can say that.

466
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: Now the question is does this mean Odell Beckham is

467
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: gone from Los Angeles? I would imagine so like no, sorry, Adele,

468
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: like you're you're out, if not all of the season.

469
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,239
Speaker 1: Allen Robins and like Robert Woods is also rehabbing from

470
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 1: from an A c L. So, oh man, Alan Robinson's

471
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: gonna come in, slide in right there be be there

472
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: number two. I think Odell leaves. My question is how

473
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: does this all look when Robert Woods is back and healthy,

474
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: because like I mean, we know, I don't know if

475
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: Cooper Cups gonna get his you know, tend to thirteen

476
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: target like it might be more like, you know, ten

477
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 1: now instead of like those weeks where he was having

478
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: like thirteen fourteen targets a week. But Allen Robinson he's

479
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: one of the weirdest players right now, I think because

480
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: last year everything across the board, not just you know,

481
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: like his yards and stuff, but his per route, per

482
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: target numbers were all down, but I chalk it up

483
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: to just him not wanting to be there. He let

484
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: it be known that he did not want to be

485
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: in Chicago. Um, I don't think Matt Naggy and and

486
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: those guys really had the proper game plan for him.

487
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to see what Alan Robinson could be here.

488
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: But for fantasy, he's definitely he's no longer a wide

489
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: receiver one now right, No, I can't imagine so, um,

490
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: because he's going to have to share targets right um.

491
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: So I mean right now, they've got obviously Cooper Cup

492
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: Robert Woods will be back. Allen Robinson is there, Van

493
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: Jefferson is there, and you know that I am a

494
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: self proclaimed van stand But Van Jefferson takes another hit.

495
00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: He just can't catch a break right like you know,

496
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: it seems like maybe he's gonna step up and get

497
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: all opportunities O b J comes in there. Uh, it

498
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: just never seems to work out for him. This is

499
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: gonna push him back a little bit. Does this make

500
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: in in the conversation now for first wide receiver off

501
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: the board though? Does this give the advantage to Davante

502
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: Adams Knowing that Allen Robinson's gonna take some targets away

503
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: from Cooper Cup. I I kind of think it does,

504
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: because we we've talked a lot about it. I kind

505
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: of thought it was like a one A, one B

506
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: situation where I had Cup one. But if anyone said

507
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: di Tey Adams, I would be like, Okay, that makes

508
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: total saying, but now just off a volume. Yeah, Like

509
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: because Cooper Cup, I thought regression was gonna come either

510
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: way after what he just did last season. But now

511
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: you have another receiver there that's gonna probably see seven

512
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: eight targets a game, and then once Robert Woods is

513
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 1: back and fully healthy, he's gonna get his, and then

514
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,440
Speaker 1: the running backs will take some away. So yeah, I

515
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: still think Cooper Cup is, you know, an elite option

516
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: still number two wide receiver off the board, I would

517
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: say Davante Adams. I think you could put him ahead

518
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: of him. Does this put either of Chase or Jefferson

519
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: ahead of him? For you? Um? Maybe Jefferson. I mean

520
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: it's tough, um, but but maybe Jefferson because I think

521
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: as we've seen Adam Feland sort of start to decline,

522
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: I think you're seeing Jefferson kind of get more volume. Um,

523
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: you know, as much as I love Jamar Chase, They're

524
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: still gonna get the ball to Tee Higgins. They're still

525
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: gonna get the ball to Tyler Boy. There's still a

526
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: lot more weapons there. There are fewer weapons I think

527
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: in the passing game in Minnesota, and that is uh,

528
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: it's sort of the the the issue there. Um, does

529
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: this meaning we have in l A versus l A

530
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 1: Super Bowl? Are we gonna see Rams because the Chargers

531
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 1: have loaded up to uh, do we see Rams Chargers

532
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl? Which a hundred percent possible? Like

533
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: that one is so fie too, by the way, they

534
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 1: really should like that and at the same halftime show,

535
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: just just embrace l A. I put out on Twitter

536
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,920
Speaker 1: the other day that the Chargers Bills AFC Championship game

537
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be awesome, and like I truly it sounds

538
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: wild Like as of right now, if you asked me

539
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: to pick division winners, I would take the Chargers over

540
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I think they are that good. And outside

541
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: of the Bucks and Packers, there's really no threat to

542
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: the Rams, So the Rams could easily get back to

543
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So l A. L A is definitely

544
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: on tap. For two, although I'm hoping, I'm hoping my

545
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: bills crashed the party. Yeah, I mean, look, it's the

546
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: a f C is going to be just a straight

547
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: up brawl this year. I mean, uh, you know, the NFC,

548
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: I think there's maybe three or four teams that you

549
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: can see you go to the Super Bowl. Um, the

550
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: a f C is going to be just a rock

551
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: fight every week. It's gonna be. Don't know if I've

552
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: ever seen a conference with this much talent like loaded.

553
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean it is so I remember when I was

554
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 1: growing up and I was a kid, I lived through

555
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: that run where the NFC one, I think it's like

556
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: thirteen straight Super Bowls or something like that where they

557
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: dominated like the eighties and into the early to mid nineties. Um,

558
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: and they were loaded like that. But yeah, this this

559
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: might be a part with that. Like, um, you know,

560
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: it's good the RAMS one one because the a f

561
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: C just might be loaded up to win a whole

562
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: bunch of Super Bowls uh in a row in the

563
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: in the very near future. Um. All right, since we're

564
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 1: talking about wide receivers, that's a perfect transition to the

565
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: wide receiver portion of our program here. Um, what happened

566
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: maybe just before free agency, and this wasn't a free

567
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 1: agent deal but a trade. Oh speaking of which, um,

568
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 1: this sort of plays in. Apparently, according to Mary Kay Cabot,

569
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: the Browns have told Baker Mayfield's agent that they are

570
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 1: not accommodating his request. So Baker says he wants out.

571
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: The Browns are like nah. Um, So we'll see the

572
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 1: stay tuned. Buckle up for that because it's gonna be interesting.

573
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, whoever the quarterback in in Cleveland

574
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: is going to be we know is going to be

575
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: throwing to Amari Cooper. Uh As at this moment, that

576
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: quarterback appears to be Baker Mayfield. Um. Does this Does

577
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: this help or hurt Amari Cooper's value? Leaving Dak Prescott

578
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: in in Dallas? I think it hurts it a little

579
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: bit because I think there's a quarterback down grade there.

580
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: I'll take Dak over Baker or whoever is gonna be

581
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: their quarterback next year because I don't think there's an

582
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: available quarterback better than Dak, and because they were already

583
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: out on Deshaun Watson. Um. The thing about Amari Cooper, though,

584
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: is I always felt like he was overrated, especially as

585
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: a member of the Cowboys, like he would get drafted

586
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: as a boy. At his first year in Dallas, he

587
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: was getting drafted as a wide receiver one, and since

588
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: then it's been very borderline, like if he's not a

589
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver one, he's just outside of it. And the

590
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: thing is, he's only finished as a wide receiver one

591
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: once in his career, and in points per game, fifteen

592
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: is his best finished. So I think that this trade

593
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: will allow him to be more of a like he'll

594
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: get valued as a wide receiver two in fantasy, and

595
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: I think that's who he is, Like he's very Boomerbus.

596
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: Will have some huge games, I'll have some disappointing games,

597
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: but at the end of the day, I think he

598
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: is now going to be more properly valued because Dallas

599
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: players just get over hyped. Yeah, I mean, maybe that's

600
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: the case. I also think I think with Amari Cooper,

601
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it started with like he

602
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: with the Raiders and for whatever reason, for a good year,

603
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: Raiders just forgot how to use him. Uh. And then

604
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: he went to Dallas and he immediately picked up and

605
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: was super productive. And I think everybody has sort of

606
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: remembered that, and maybe that's had something to do with it. Um.

607
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: I would say that the last year, year two, he

608
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: was a lot more consistent. The thing about for me,

609
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 1: Mariti Cooper was that guy that when you just looked

610
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: at his season long statuere like, wow, this guy was

611
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: really good. But anybody who had him on the on

612
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: their fantasy team knew the ups and downs and the

613
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: week to week you know, questions about how productive, uh

614
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: he was going to be. UM, So I don't know.

615
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: I think I think so much of his value and

616
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: his potential production is going to be impacted by who

617
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback is. I like him a lot less with

618
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield at the quarterback spot. Um. You know, obviously

619
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: the Browns are out on the Deshaun Watson sweepsteaks, so

620
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think he's a wide receiver

621
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: to um. We'll see if I'm thinking, well, we'll see

622
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: if the rest of the fantasy Twitter agrees and that

623
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: that's how how he's drafted. But uh man, things are

624
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 1: getting wild in Cleveland, so we'll see how this is

625
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: going to shake. I'm ready for Emo Baker commercials next year.

626
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: Oh man, they're gonna be so low. I don't follow, like,

627
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: I might have to start following him on Twitter. I

628
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 1: don't really follow a lot of athletes on social media,

629
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: but I might have to follow just to see if

630
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 1: he's like putting out like just generic emo looking out

631
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: at the ocean, sadly kind of tweets or something like

632
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: that commercial like someone like rings the stadium bell when

633
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: he just like go Away shows up in a rope

634
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: to get and shaved for like three weeks. Yeah, you

635
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: know that kind of stuff. We'll see uh down in Jacksonville. Obviously,

636
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: the big priority this offseason was to figure out how

637
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: to build around Trevor Lawrence, and the Jaguars went out

638
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: and spent big. On the very first day of the

639
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: free agency period. They signed Christian Kirk, they signed Zay Jones.

640
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: I know when they first signed Christian Kirk, there was

641
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: a lot of chatter and a lot of like wow,

642
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 1: And to me, it felt sort of like the high

643
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: of free agency beginning. Everybody's like, wow, this is exciting,

644
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: and I kind of thought it was like because I have,

645
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: you know, I've really tried to be a Christian kirkstand

646
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: and I've always been let down, and so I know

647
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: I said last year that I think I finally let

648
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: go of the rope um. They signed Christian Kirk, they

649
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: signed Z Jones, they lose d J. Chark to Detroit,

650
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: And when you look at this wide receiver corps now

651
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: versus what it was last year, like, is this really

652
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: an upgrade? It feels sort of the same as what

653
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: they had before. I think it's a little bit of

654
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: an upgrade. I don't think it's a huge one, and

655
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 1: I we could talk about if Christian Kirk is worth

656
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: the money he's getting, but I do think Christian Kirk

657
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: slides in and becomes their watch receiver one right away,

658
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: particularly because what he does well Like last year, I

659
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: know d Hop was hurt, but Kirk was actually the

660
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: the Cardinals best either on balls of twenty plus air

661
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: yards and he would have been the Jags as well.

662
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking that he he brings some speed that

663
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: they were missing because like Marvin Jones isn't a fast guy.

664
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: Nault has some speed, but not not like like Kirk has.

665
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: So I think that alone, it brings some depth too,

666
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: because we saw their wide receiver depth really tested after

667
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,880
Speaker 1: Chalk went down last year and then after Jamal agnew

668
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: went down, so I liked the moves for that point.

669
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 1: For me, this is an offense where I don't love

670
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 1: any of the individual pieces, like I don't love Christian

671
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: Kirk or Marvin Jones or but I think all of

672
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: them together, plus with the fact that they went out

673
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: and spent big to upgrade their offensive line, I think

674
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,399
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is the winner here, not like Christian Kirk

675
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: or any specific one of his pieces. I just think

676
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: it's a better all around cast and much better head

677
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: coach situation than it was last year. So I think

678
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is Uh. I'm still not giving up on

679
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: him yet. I was high on him last year. I

680
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: think we could see a big year to leap, so

681
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: we still and you're still drafting him as a QB

682
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 1: two though right he's not. He's not a QB one

683
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 1: at this point. Right, he'd be one that I would

684
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: pay like if I ended up with Kirk Cousins as

685
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: my lone quarterback, I would pay to like Trevor Lawrence

686
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: and get like a safe and upside kind of guy. Um,

687
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 1: does this mean I need to give up on my

688
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: Levisca Chenault dream isn't dead now? It feels like they

689
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: said they might cut him or trade him, trade him

690
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: or cut him. Right, maybe that's what he needs though,

691
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,879
Speaker 1: because it's not happening in Jacksonville. Yeah, I know, um

692
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, and people have asked me about it, and like,

693
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: I still want to kind of wave the flag for him,

694
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 1: but I it's getting harder. So watch him play though,

695
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: and you're like, this guy is he's got talent. He does.

696
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: They just they never figured out how to unlock it

697
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. Um, And I would think that with a

698
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: new coaching staff, um, you know, maybe they're just trying

699
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 1: to bring in their people and just sort of build it,

700
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: build the offense to their liking. And he just probably

701
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: doesn't fit. So maybe he goes somewhere else. Um, hey man,

702
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: go to Atlanta. They figured out how to unlock cordaroll

703
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: Atterson figure out that discussion all too uh and goodness

704
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: that would Goodness knows they need wide receivers there. Um.

705
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: But since we're talking about DJ Chark, he does go

706
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: to the Lions one year, ten million dollars. I will

707
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: tell you that I woke up on Tuesday morning and

708
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 1: as I was getting my kid ready for daycare, to

709
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: get him out of the house, uh, scrolling Twitter and

710
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 1: there was just an ongoing argument about A'man ross St Brown.

711
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 1: I will tell you that it was like it felt

712
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: like waking up in the middle of freeway traffic. I'm like,

713
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 1: what on earth is happening? Why is there so much anger?

714
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: What is what is going on here? So, now that

715
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: we've had a chance to kind of, you know, watch

716
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 1: this over a couple of days, is this good or

717
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: bad for Alman ross A Brown? I think this is

718
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 1: good for him. I know. Yeah. The panic anytime a

719
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: team signs any player in this time of year is

720
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: is definitely out of control on fantasy Twitter. But my

721
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: thing is, like DJ Chark had a good five game

722
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: stretched too years ago, a monras st Brown had one

723
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 1: of the best stretches and a rookie season that we've

724
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: ever seen. Why would we assume that a guy who

725
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: signed a one year deal is suddenly going to come

726
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 1: in and be their top, their number one wide receiver

727
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: or something like that. And my thing on a Monro's

728
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 1: st Brown is when he had that big stretch at

729
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,399
Speaker 1: the end of the year, it was after they brought

730
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: in Josh Reynolds, because before that the Lions had no

731
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: one capable of stretching the field, so defenses could just

732
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: load up near the line of scrimmage. I don't think

733
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 1: it's a coincidence that once they got someone and connected

734
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: on a couple of deep balls a monras st Brown

735
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 1: underneath started dominating. And I think having another field stretcher

736
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: like Chark, who isn't gonna, in my opinion, gonna get

737
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: a bunch of targets each week, I think he'll he'll

738
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: have some weeks where he gets more than others. He's

739
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: gonna get a couple of deep shots per game. Um.

740
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: I don't love Chark for fantasy, but I think that's

741
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: actually helps amanras st Brown. And my other thing on

742
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: that is like everyone just assumes that t J. Hockenson

743
00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: is gonna come back in and be the top target,

744
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: when the last month that those two were healthy, they

745
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: were seeing an equal target share and again Alman Ross

746
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: st Brown had a better stretch to end less season

747
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 1: than t J. Hockinson has ever had in his NFL career. Yeah,

748
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look the thing about about st Brown, and

749
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 1: I said this all from the training camp and early

750
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: in the season that there had been so much talk

751
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: about him kind of being that safety blanket for Jared Goff,

752
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: much like Cooper Cup was those years in Los Angeles.

753
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that

754
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 1: alman Ro is gonna put together at Cooper Cup kind

755
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 1: of season, but in terms of what he can mean

756
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,879
Speaker 1: in that offense, and I think that's what we saw

757
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: late in the year, I don't think that just goes away.

758
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: And I think it doesn't necessarily go away for a

759
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: guy like DJ Chart, nice player. Um, I don't think

760
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna command targets like that. So I don't know

761
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: that this has a major impact on aman Ross st Brown.

762
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: Maybe he's not putting up ridiculous numbers fantasy wise like

763
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: he did those last six weeks of the season, But

764
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: I do think that he's still gonna see a whole

765
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: lot of a whole lot of opportunity. I don't think

766
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 1: he fades away. Um, But you know what, if you

767
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: guys want to argue over it and you know depressed

768
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: that a DP, I'm here for it. So uh, you

769
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: know that's the best part of all of it, right,

770
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: You guys want to argue about it and let that

771
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: draft position fall, I'm totally there. To kind of scoop

772
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: it up and make it happen. Um. And because we're

773
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: doing minute by minute Baker Mayfield updates. Uh. This tweet

774
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: from Josina Anderson saying she has been told the Seahawks

775
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: have discussed exploring acquiring Baker Mayfield at quarterback. So they've

776
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: talked about talking about it, um whatever, so that they

777
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: are a quarterback needy team. Obviously after trading Russell Wilson. Um,

778
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 1: if your Drew Lock, you can't feel really great about this.

779
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: So maybe he's gonna be the next butt hurt quarterback

780
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 1: who wants a trade, because then I think they would

781
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: be like wherever you want to go? Right, Okay, alright, fine,

782
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: let's let's figure it out. Um. A couple of quarters

783
00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: of Cowboys wide receivers making moves. Michael Gallup resigns with

784
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: Dallas for five years sixty two and a half million dollars.

785
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson leaving Dallas to go to Miami for a

786
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,959
Speaker 1: three year deal twenty two point eight million dollars. First

787
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: with Gallup, there was this guy a couple of years

788
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: ago went over a thousand yards. We thought maybe he

789
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: could really kind of make the leap. Had injury issues.

790
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: You know, also had to compete with Ceedee Lamb for targets.

791
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 1: Uh with NOAMRII Cooper. Though, does Gallup finally make the

792
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: leap this year? If Gallup didn't tear his a c

793
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: L in January, I would have said yes. But him

794
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: tearing it in January makes me believe that he is

795
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: not going to be ready to start the season. He

796
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: might start on on the publist, who knows. Obviously we're

797
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 1: still a very long ways away, but I don't anticipate

798
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: seeing him be a hundred percent at least not for

799
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: a good stretch of the season. My approach with Michael

800
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: Gallup right now is uh, I don't think I'm gonna

801
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: be super in on him in drafts this year. Maybe

802
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: if there's a by low opportunity or even if he

803
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: gets cut, if he's on the publist or something like that,

804
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: then I could acquire him. And three though, is a

805
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,880
Speaker 1: huge year for Michael Gallup. I think that's when you

806
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: know we'll finally get the Gallop year we've been waiting on.

807
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: It just thinks for him that now he's getting the

808
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: opportunity in the offense, but he's just not healthy. Yeah,

809
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 1: I think that's probably fair. Uh and this is the

810
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,560
Speaker 1: guy that uh ar hythe hm Collarni gives me a

811
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: hard time. He's asking. He asked me secretly if if

812
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 1: Gallup is is an unknown part of the Grant family

813
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: for as much as I have been a fan of

814
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: his in promoting him every single year, So yeah, you're right,

815
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:34,800
Speaker 1: this year might not be quite so much. But dynasty

816
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: folks take note. Maybe there's a future for for Michael

817
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 1: Gallup there in Dallas. As for Cedric Wilson, um are

818
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: there enough targets to go around? I mean, we heard

819
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel really hype up Jalen Waddle. Mike Gasicki is

820
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 1: back Parker I believe is still there. Are there enough

821
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: targets in this offense for Cedric Wilson to actually have

822
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: any fantasy relevance? I don't think. I think he's a

823
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,760
Speaker 1: much better piece for the Dolphins than he for fantasy.

824
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: Like he'll have some big games, but it's gonna be

825
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: very hard to predict when they are. I think as

826
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: long as everyone stays healthy for me in this offense,

827
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle, I think is a wide receiver one I'm

828
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: really excited and I think that Cedric Wilson playing the

829
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: slot kind of pushes Waddle outside more, which is a

830
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: more explosive role for him. So I'm excited to see that. Um,

831
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: But like I'm out on like Wilson and DeVante Parker

832
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: because I just I don't think there's enough volume to

833
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: go around and Gasecky because he's a tight end and

834
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: because he might be the second target. I'll still draft him.

835
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: But the other two receivers I don't anticipate having a

836
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: whole lot of Yeah, I think I think for me,

837
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 1: it's it is. It's just Waddling gisicky. It was the

838
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 1: only guys there that I have any really interested in

839
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: the in the Dolphins passing game. Um, you do have

840
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: some running back news, though we will get to that

841
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: after a break. This was a hefty first part of

842
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 1: the show. We got a lot more to talk about,

843
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: so stick around for that on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Okay,

844
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: So in the moments or so that we were, you know,

845
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,320
Speaker 1: playing paying some bills here, nothing has happened with Baker Mayfield.

846
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: He's still Cleveland Brown. Uh, he is still presumably salty

847
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 1: about being in Cleveland Brown. Um, and I don't know

848
00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: the Browns may have to buy him flowers or a

849
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: diamond ring or something to see if they can, you know,

850
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: patch things up here. Um, let's look at some running

851
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: backs here because we know that, you know, running backs

852
00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: in free agency don't really get a whole lot of love.

853
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 1: And so far there hasn't been a ton of movement

854
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 1: at the position. But one that happened just recently, I

855
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: think within the last few hours. Um, not really a

856
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: major surprise, but where he most signs with the Dolphins,

857
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: reunites with Mike McDaniel. They were together obviously in San Francisco.

858
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: Most when he's healthy can be really productive. The problem is,

859
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: when he's healthy is such a big part of his story.

860
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 1: I would think that that's going to be sort of

861
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,440
Speaker 1: baked into his draft price. But how much does this

862
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 1: worry you? It? It worries me a good like like

863
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: I would be okay taking most of it as like

864
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: a reserve, like a backup running back. I wouldn't feel

865
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,800
Speaker 1: comfortable having him as one of my starters. Um, especially

866
00:44:11,840 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: in Miami. I think we're gonna see, based on the

867
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: money they gave their running backs, I think Chase Edmonds

868
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: will be the lead back whereas I think most of

869
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: it will be the number two role. But both are

870
00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: have been injury prone in the past. Both are very fast,

871
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: explosive kind of runners, so they're very similar, and we

872
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,120
Speaker 1: know most It has had a lot of success in

873
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: that forty Niners run game. I expect to mc Mike

874
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: McDaniel to kind of carry that over from San Franz.

875
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: My thinking is that he could be like a eight

876
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 1: to ten maybe twelve on a good week, touch kind

877
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: of guy who's brought in to be like that home

878
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: run hitting back, because that's that's what he does. Like that,

879
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 1: he's he can break out that seventy eight yard touchdown run.

880
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: But I don't think he can handle like twenty touches

881
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: a week or anything like that. No, I don't think

882
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: he can't either. And I think, you know, I know,

883
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,239
Speaker 1: there's a new head coach there and it's gonna be

884
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 1: a different offense. But what we saw in the past was,

885
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:09,319
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's gonna be a combination of guys.

886
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're gonna see Mostard. I think

887
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: you're still gonna see Miles Gaskin getting work when savant

888
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 1: A Comtacy's still there. I mean, he's gonna get some opportunity,

889
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 1: probably just because nothing about most its past, nothing about

890
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: his history, has suggested that he can handle that sort

891
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: of workload effect. Um, his career high for a season

892
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: in touches is one one. Um, he's never caught more

893
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: than sixteen passes in a season. I mean, he is,

894
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, he's kind of a home run hitter,

895
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: but he's not that steady, workhorse sort of guy. So

896
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: I don't imagine he's going to to get that. But

897
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 1: also I think, you know, I know, we go around

898
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: and round on guys that are quote unquote injury prone.

899
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: But the fact is only once in his career as

900
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: he played six team games in a season. He's played

901
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: eleven or more just three times. He just he just

902
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 1: has not been able to consider instantly stay on the field,

903
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: And so I think that's going to sort of impact

904
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: how people feel about him. But at least we know

905
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: he's going to a place where he's familiar with the offense,

906
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: so there will not be a learning curve in terms

907
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: of kind of getting up to speed there in Miami.

908
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: UM James Conner staying with Arizona three year, twenty one

909
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: million dollar extension you look at the numbers last year,

910
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: and it was phenomenal for James Conner. Right. I mean,

911
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 1: this is a guy who finished the season as a

912
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:30,839
Speaker 1: top five running back. But when you break it down,

913
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: and I know we've talked about this, touchdowns were so

914
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: much a part of it. Right. He had eighteen total touchdowns,

915
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: fifteen rushing touchdowns. Really just ran for seven hundred and

916
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: fifty yards. Uh, did a lot of workman. Chase Edmonds

917
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: was hurt um in a lot of ways. It just

918
00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: feels like a situation that can't necessarily be duplicated. Where

919
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: are you comfortable drafting him this year? Yeah? I not

920
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: at the top five running back. I like, I don't

921
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 1: know if people realize how good he was. No, Chase

922
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: Edmonds Like he was averaging over twenties six Fantasy points

923
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 1: per game, and he showed that, Hey, I can be

924
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 1: a pass catcher. I'm making one handed grabs on national

925
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,760
Speaker 1: TV every week. Um, But like you said, eighteen touchdowns

926
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 1: is not gonna happen again. I do think he can

927
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,240
Speaker 1: get double digit touchdowns. I went on UM the Fantasy

928
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: Frenzy yesterday and was talking with m j D about it,

929
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 1: and I said, I think I don't have him Connor

930
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 1: as an RB one. I think he is in that

931
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 1: like back end RB one discussion, but I just feel

932
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: more comfortable with him as a high end RB two.

933
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: I said, someone that I would be comfortable taking, like

934
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: the early third round, if that could work out. M

935
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 1: j D said late second. I think that's the proper

936
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: range for him, like on that two three turn as

937
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: like a borderline RB one, high end r B two.

938
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be paying up any higher than that. Yeah,

939
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:52,880
Speaker 1: And I'm I'm sort of curious to see how everyone

940
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: else sort of feels about him, because that's that's about

941
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: what I think. I think he's a very good running back.

942
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be productive. Um, but I think

943
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,320
Speaker 1: if you are drafting him expecting that he's going to

944
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: be a top five guy, maybe a little bit disappointing

945
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: because you know, fifteen rushing touchdowns does not feel like

946
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 1: it's no pun intended in the cards. Again for James

947
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: Conner down there in Arizona, UM, you know, in the

948
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 1: three and seventy five receiving yards seemed nice, but you know,

949
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: if they have a healthy second running back there, I

950
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: don't know that he gets that either. The one thing

951
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: about Cliff Kingsbury, he has consistently occupied or utilized rather

952
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: kind of a sixty forty split when it comes to

953
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: his running backs, and so I think that's probably going

954
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: to be the case there. So I just don't see

955
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: like a big workforce role for for James Connor um

956
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: j D. Mckissic. For a minute, you tweeted to me

957
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: that he's sort of on the the Antonio Brown plan. Right,

958
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 1: it looked like he was gonna be a Buffalo bill.

959
00:48:51,239 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: It seemed like he had agreed to a deal and

960
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:56,399
Speaker 1: he was all set uh to be in Buffalo. Then

961
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 1: last minute sort of reversed course and decided he was

962
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna stay in Washington. So he resigns with the commanders,

963
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 1: he goes back to Washington. So all of the premature

964
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 1: excitement for Antonio Gibson got to be put on hold.

965
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:15,919
Speaker 1: So what now is he's still a second round pick?

966
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: How how are we feeling about him? He's an RB

967
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: two that I do not really feel great about drafting.

968
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: I thought with if j. D. Mckissic was gone RB

969
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: one year for fr Antonio Gibson is on board. But

970
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: with mckissic there, we know he's going to get the

971
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: third down rolls. We know he's gonna get the two

972
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: minute drills. We know that he's gonna be very pesky like.

973
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:43,799
Speaker 1: That was the thing for each of the last two seasons. Uh.

974
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: And it seems to me like they don't feel comfortable

975
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: with Antonio Gibson in past protection and that's why they

976
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: want j D mckissic here. So while Antonio Gibson is

977
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,240
Speaker 1: an RB two, he's kind of one of those boring

978
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 1: r B two's that's not gonna catch a whole bunch

979
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: of passes. You're gonn be relying on touchdowns. So for me,

980
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,760
Speaker 1: I as of right now, I don't anticipate myself drafting

981
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot of Antonio Gibson. Antonio Gibson, for me,

982
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: has he's starting to fall into that Miles Sanders category

983
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: in the sense of we want to love Antonio Gibson,

984
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,799
Speaker 1: but Washington is showing this that they don't love him

985
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:23,520
Speaker 1: the same way we do. Um. You know the fact

986
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,880
Speaker 1: that they were all too happy to welcome j. D

987
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: mckissic back. Um, So, I know part of the argument

988
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: after this happened was that, well, look, if you guys

989
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: are waiting for j d. Mckissic to clear the deck

990
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: in order for Antonio Gibson to have the breakout. Then

991
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: maybe that says something, and I sort of understand that argument.

992
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 1: I guess for me, I wasn't thinking that that Gibson

993
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: was going to somehow morph into a three down back

994
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: that you know you could feel comfortable drafting high in

995
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 1: the first round, that you knew it was going to

996
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 1: be a a a solid legit, you know, knocking on

997
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,360
Speaker 1: the door of elite RB one. But not having Makissic

998
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: there to me, potentially opened up some targets. And I

999
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,759
Speaker 1: think that's the part where I I want to see

1000
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 1: more from Gibson. Right this was a guy who, remember famously,

1001
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: was a wide receiver in college that ran the football occasionally,

1002
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: and then he got to Washington and they sort of

1003
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: reversed that and made him a running back who catches

1004
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: the football occasionally. I was hoping that mkissic leaving meant

1005
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 1: more targets coming for Gibson. I don't see that coming now.

1006
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: I think you see him stuck kind of around that,

1007
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, fifty fifty five targets, maybe he gets you

1008
00:51:27,640 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 1: about forty five catches. Decent numbers. I just want more.

1009
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 1: And for me, that was sort of the frustration of

1010
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 1: mkissic coming back, is that it just sort of eats

1011
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: into that that pass catching opportunity for Buffalo. We've talked about,

1012
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: you know, Devin Singletary, Zack Moss, what this backfield is,

1013
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:50,279
Speaker 1: what it could be. Um on its face, not having

1014
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: Mkissic there means yea Devin Singletary. But Florio I look

1015
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:57,959
Speaker 1: at this as saying, Uh, the Bills want to find

1016
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 1: somebody else to put in that backfield. So I don't

1017
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: know that we can get comfortable thinking big, good, happy

1018
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: things for Devin Singletary because it just seems like Buffalo

1019
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:09,279
Speaker 1: wants somebody else to compliment him there. And that to

1020
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 1: me because I agree with you and I think that's

1021
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 1: the scary part for Devin's Singletary, Like if it was j. D. Mckissic,

1022
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,600
Speaker 1: we could pigeonhole him into the same role, like they're

1023
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: down too many drills. But like the goal on work

1024
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: probably goes to Devon Singletary, the early down work probably

1025
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: goes to Devon Singletary. Who Singletary is a He's a

1026
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 1: better runner than he gets credit for. He's an okay

1027
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: receiver out of the backfield. So I thought mckissic was

1028
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 1: like a great complimentary piece there. If they go out

1029
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: and they get, you know, a different running back in

1030
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: in free agency or maybe in like they they love

1031
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: drafting running backs in the third round, if they do

1032
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,799
Speaker 1: something like that all of a sudden, that could mean

1033
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 1: someone who could take some some touches away on the

1034
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: ground as well. So I want Devin Singletary to be

1035
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: an RB two, and I think he can be if

1036
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 1: the Bills believed in him as a lead back. But

1037
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 1: I keep thinking we're gonna get another piece added on

1038
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: here in Singletary ob an RB three. I think could

1039
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:03,400
Speaker 1: be better than he has been in years past, but

1040
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: he won't be as good as he was down the

1041
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 1: stretch last year. I think that's fair. Um. I also

1042
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,399
Speaker 1: think that right now, if you are Zack Moss, you're

1043
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: really unhappy, uh, because you are already sort of getting

1044
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: pushed to the background, and now it seems like the

1045
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,279
Speaker 1: Bills are also trying to add another running back, so

1046
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: that that has nervous time. If if I am Zach

1047
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 1: Moss right now, um, we do have some tight ended news. Surprisingly,

1048
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: it's been a few tight end signings let's start with

1049
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: the one that we are not surprised about. Doesn't really

1050
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: mean as much. I was like, it doesn't mean as much.

1051
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz stays with with Arizona. You and I had

1052
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 1: both said that it just made the most sense for

1053
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: him to stay in Arizona. He was very productive three years,

1054
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: uh thirty one point six five million dollars. Uh. Is

1055
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: he a tight end one in drafts now? I think so.

1056
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:54,439
Speaker 1: I just actually earlier today finished up my early top

1057
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 1: twelve tight ends article for next year, and he's in

1058
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: my top ten. Uh. He was really productive of last

1059
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 1: year with the Cardinals. He was the tight end six overall.

1060
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: I believe in that stretch with Arizona. And look, Christian

1061
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 1: Kirk is gone. A J. Green is still a free agent.

1062
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: They haven't brought anyone to replace him. So there's DeAndre Hopkins,

1063
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 1: there's Rohn del Moore, and there's zach Ertz. Like, zach

1064
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:19,759
Speaker 1: Ertz is probably the second target on this team, and

1065
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: if the hop missed his time again, he probably becomes

1066
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,719
Speaker 1: the number one like he did last year. So I

1067
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 1: know his upside isn't isn't super like sexy or anything

1068
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: like that, But I think he is a very safe

1069
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 1: tight end one for fantasy. But yeah, no, I look,

1070
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 1: zach Ertz is I think I think you're right. I

1071
00:54:36,840 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 1: think he's a tight end one. I think he you know,

1072
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: everything points to him having another good year in Arizona.

1073
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: It just it just made so much sense. I feel

1074
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,320
Speaker 1: like this is what what everybody was anticipating. So no

1075
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: really major surprise here, but I think it's a good

1076
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: fit for everybody. Um, Evan Ingram he signed with the

1077
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 1: Jaguars too. We talked about them adding Christian Kirk and

1078
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: Say Jones. They also go get Evan Ingram. This the

1079
00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: year do we finally make fetch happen? Does this finally

1080
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: work with Evan Ingram and Jacksonville? Look, you you can

1081
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: make fun of me for this. I'm sure people listening will.

1082
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: I am not ready to quit Evan Ingram just yet. Um. Look,

1083
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: Eagles tight ends had a thirty two percent target share

1084
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: during Doug Peterson's tenure with Philly, by far the highest

1085
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and zach Ertz individually had a four

1086
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: year stretch where he saw between a hundred and six

1087
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 1: and a hundred and fifty six targets. I don't think

1088
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram sees that number, but I was in on

1089
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold as like a late round tight end flyer

1090
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: before this signing. I just think it's a favorable spot

1091
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: within the Doug Peterson offense that loves tight ends, with

1092
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: a quarterback like Trevor Lawrence, who I think will lean

1093
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: on a tight end. Evan Ingram, I know he's not.

1094
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 1: He never lived up to expectations, but I would not

1095
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 1: be surprised if he had a career year this year.

1096
00:55:57,280 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: And of course the career year for him is like

1097
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: seven hundred of the yards. Um, maybe I'm not gonna

1098
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: do it. I'm gonna let him beave someone else's problem.

1099
00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 1: I can't. It's like we've been through this so many times. Um, Look,

1100
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: maybe everything you say is true and maybe it works

1101
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 1: out again. Seven rookie years, sixty four catches, seven and

1102
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: twenty two yards, six touchdowns, those all remain career highs.

1103
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 1: He has not been able to match what he did

1104
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,680
Speaker 1: as a rookie, So maybe that's in Jacksonville. I'm not

1105
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: going to be the one to see it because I'm

1106
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: just completely and me being in on him is in

1107
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: no way, shape or form saying he's a tight end one,

1108
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: he is a tight end two you could draft. All right,

1109
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:45,800
Speaker 1: that's fair. That's fair. Um, the Jets signed c J.

1110
00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 1: Usama to a three year deal. The Jets have not

1111
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 1: had a relevant tight end in fantasy probably in my lifetime, um,

1112
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, I think needs a lot of work from

1113
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: what we saw last year. Is Usama's still on the

1114
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: tight end? I mean he was kind of a streamer

1115
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 1: last year. Is he even that right now? I think

1116
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 1: that's like kind of what his upside is here. Like

1117
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: he's a big play threat, so I think I'll have

1118
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: some big games. But it no way is he a

1119
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 1: consistent like tight end one or even like a high

1120
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 1: end tighten two. To me, I think he's just more

1121
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: you hope to see something early on and maybe you

1122
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 1: stream him after that. Yeah, that's fair. I think. Also

1123
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: the same can be said of Hayden Hurst, who now

1124
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: takes over for Usama in in Cincinnati. He signed with

1125
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. That happened just as we started recording

1126
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: this show earlier. We've been doing the show for like

1127
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 1: over an hour now it feels like a week. Um,

1128
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: but this big A signed Hayden Hurst. I would think

1129
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: the same kind of applies to him. Uh, speaking of

1130
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: your bills though they still I know J. Howard, who

1131
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: I always say this, Still his greatest catch was a

1132
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: foul ball at a Tampa Bay Rays game. It's still

1133
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: the best catch we have seen O J. Howard. Ever,

1134
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 1: make I like the Dawson, you like the Dawson. Does

1135
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: this mean we have to downgrade the Dawson with O. J.

1136
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,720
Speaker 1: Howard there? I think so not not a whole lot.

1137
00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: But when I was writing my early top twelve tight ends,

1138
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:14,840
Speaker 1: I got to eleven before I started to really consider

1139
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:18,520
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. After this signing. For me, it's like he's

1140
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,479
Speaker 1: like borderline with like Mike Kasecki, Logan Thomas to round

1141
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 1: out the top twelve. But I think he might like

1142
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: if you have him just outside the top twelve, I

1143
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:29,440
Speaker 1: think that's fine, um, because you look at what he

1144
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 1: did last season, like forty nine catches solid five and

1145
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,640
Speaker 1: eighty seven yards. That's not great. And then it was

1146
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns, so we know Marcus trusting touchdowns could be

1147
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 1: unreliable year by years. So because of that, I had

1148
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 1: him just outside the top ten, and after the signing,

1149
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 1: I believe I finished with him at thirteen behind Mike Kasecki.

1150
00:58:51,600 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: But if you if you wanted to flip flop those two,

1151
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm totally fine with that. Yeah. I mean, Howard, you know,

1152
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: his biggest thing is his athleticism. Um At, that's what

1153
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: the Bills want to kind of take advantage of. I

1154
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if we see both of them on

1155
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: the field together quite a lot next year. But it's

1156
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 1: hard to believe that Knox, Uh, you know, that's what

1157
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: he did last year, and as you mentioned, the touchdowns

1158
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 1: were such a large part of it. Um if that

1159
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: number comes down, then I think, you know, it's it's

1160
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: hard to see him being consistently relevant for fantasy. So

1161
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: all right, those are the notable signings. I don't think

1162
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,440
Speaker 1: I missed any really notable ones. I think I got

1163
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 1: all of the major ones. But there are still a

1164
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: ton of guys that are out there and available. Um,

1165
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 1: let's talk quarterbacks here now, maybe the two most interesting

1166
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 1: quarterback names. I guess we can make it three because

1167
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: I guess Baker Mayfield wants out again. Baker update still

1168
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: a Brown, still want to trade Brown still saying no,

1169
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: that's where we are from, you know, half hour ago. Um,

1170
00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. You know, the the trade talks have heated up. Um.

1171
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: You know. Side note to this, Greg Rosenthal, I thought

1172
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: I had a really the good point that he mentioned

1173
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: on NFL Network. You can go find the actually a

1174
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: video clip on his Twitter account, but basically saying, look,

1175
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: whoever whoever acquires Deshaun Watson, uh, that franchise and the

1176
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,760
Speaker 1: player himself are really gonna have to do a lot

1177
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: of work, I think, to sort of explain themselves to

1178
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: the fan base, to the public because, uh, you know,

1179
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: while the criminal case has been dropped, there are still

1180
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,360
Speaker 1: twenty two civil suits happening. Um, and there are a

1181
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: lot of people that don't necessarily want Deshaun Watson on

1182
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: their football team. So whoever whoever acquires him, uh, that

1183
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: team you're gonna have to acquire him, should have to

1184
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: as well. Like if you met with him and you

1185
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: pushed your starting quarterback out of out of town for him,

1186
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: you should have to explain yourself you probably should know.

1187
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's absolutely fair. But I

1188
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: thought Greg really articulated as well. So I really would

1189
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: recommend going to his Twitter account Greg Rosenthall and uh

1190
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 1: and seeing the video clip there where he sort of

1191
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: talks about that. But just from a football standpoint, it

1192
01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: seems like it is down to the Falcons and the Saints. Um,

1193
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: is there one spot? Do you think that's better than

1194
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 1: the other? There? No, kind of I think that's the

1195
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: right answer. They both have pretty gross supporting casts around him.

1196
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: Um selfishly, because of how invested I am in Kyle Pitts,

1197
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta would be a lot of fun just

1198
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: to see them who play together. But like, Michael Thomas

1199
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 1: is still there, and Michael Thomas is someone you were

1200
01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: in early drafts who were getting as a wide receiver

1201
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: three and I was like, cool, I'll draft him there

1202
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 1: because he's not gonna be a wide receiver three come August.

1203
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: He's just not um And especially if they signed to

1204
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson, then I think Michael Thomas is right back

1205
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: in the wide receiver one discussion. Yeah, I mean, I

1206
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: think that's the thing. If wherever he goes, wherever Watson lands,

1207
01:01:46,960 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: he is going to boost all the guys around him, right,

1208
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: So that means Michael Thomas gets a boost, uh, and

1209
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 1: he goes back to I don't know if that he's

1210
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:55,800
Speaker 1: still stay as slant boy. I don't know, but he

1211
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:57,760
Speaker 1: still gets a whole bunch of targets and a bunch

1212
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 1: of catches. Um. I do think they'll other part of

1213
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,640
Speaker 1: this is that wherever Watson goes, you're going to have

1214
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 1: guys that want to sign in that spot. Um. And

1215
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: we'll talk about some of these free agent wide receivers

1216
01:02:09,120 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: in just a bit um. So maybe that is sort

1217
01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:13,480
Speaker 1: of the hope for any of these teams, whether it's

1218
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: the Saints or the Falcons, that that Watson alone can

1219
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: help bring some wide receiver talent. Of course, there's obviously

1220
01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: still the draft they can go out and add some

1221
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver talent if necessary as well. Um, But I

1222
01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 1: don't know that there's one of those two teams that

1223
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: is ostensibly better than the other just on its face

1224
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 1: for Deshaun Watson. So once that domino falls, it seems

1225
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: as though the next one is going to be Jimmy Garoppolo,

1226
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 1: and it feels like the trade market for him has fluctuated.

1227
01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 1: At first, it seemed like maybe there was going to

1228
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: be a lot and the Niners were asking for a

1229
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: ton um. Then it got to the point where, wow,

1230
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't look like there's gonna be quite as

1231
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: much because teams have made a lot of moves and

1232
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:59,919
Speaker 1: and maybe the Niners overplayed their hand to being back

1233
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: to you know what, maybe there's still a chance that

1234
01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 1: they can get a Day two pick for for Jimmy Garoppolo.

1235
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: I sort of asked the same question, is there a

1236
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: spot assuming that the Niners trade him that seems to

1237
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 1: make more sense for him fantasy wise it anywhere else? Um,

1238
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 1: the Browns suddenly are in play. I think they have

1239
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: a lot of talent there that that needs a quarterback. Um.

1240
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: The other team that misses out on Deshaun Watson, one

1241
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: that I know is kind of out of the running

1242
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: for him too, that I think would make sense is

1243
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. Uh. I mean, d J. Moore's really talented.

1244
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: Robby Anderson is a is a good wide receiver. I'm

1245
01:03:39,720 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: a big fan of Terroris Marshall Jr. They just added

1246
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: Higgins who is not a fantasy receiver, but it's a

1247
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: solid real life receivers. So they just need a quarterback

1248
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: there too with with CMC there as well. So the

1249
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: Panthers are are the team that I think, or the

1250
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 1: Browns would be the best fantasy fit. But I think

1251
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 1: They're like there was a rumor like, oh can they

1252
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: get a will they be able to trade him? And

1253
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm I'm still thinking very much. So, Yes, there's still

1254
01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: a good number of teams out there in need of

1255
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Yeah, I mean we're looking around here. I mean,

1256
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,160
Speaker 1: the Seahawks are are talking about looking for a quarterback,

1257
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,120
Speaker 1: the Colts, you mentioned, the Browns and whatever this this

1258
01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: Baker situation is. Um, I mean there's still a handful

1259
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: of teams, whether you know, whoever loses out on in

1260
01:04:20,240 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: in this this Watson thing, Uh, is going to be

1261
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 1: looking for a quarterback. Although, uh, somebody just tweeted just

1262
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 1: moments ago. Um, if DeShawn Watson does decide to go

1263
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: to Atlanta, this carousel is going to spin a whole

1264
01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 1: lot more right because Deshaun Watson being in Atlanta pushes

1265
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan out. Matt Ryan is certainly going to have

1266
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: a market somewhere. Um, you know, whether it is Seattle

1267
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: and what have you. Um, if the Seahawks trade for

1268
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: a quarterback, I mean, Drew Lock is still young, There's

1269
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: still gonna be somebody out there who may be interested

1270
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 1: in bringing in Drew Lock. If Mr Robinsky can get

1271
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: a two year deal. Drew lock can find a job somewhere. Um,

1272
01:04:56,320 --> 01:05:00,640
Speaker 1: so this thing is far from being done. The other

1273
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,040
Speaker 1: part of this is there are three other interesting names

1274
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 1: out there a free agents, Jamis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Andy Dalton,

1275
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: all are currently free agents. Do any of them you

1276
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: think find starting jobs anywhere? Yeah? I think Winston finds

1277
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: a starting job. I think Winston is just waiting for

1278
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: the other dominoes to fall, because it sounds like he

1279
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: is the fallback plan if if the Saints miss out

1280
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:29,000
Speaker 1: on Deshaun Watson. Uh. If not, Apparently the Colts have

1281
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 1: had talks with him, which to me, if I'm the

1282
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: Colts signed Jamis Winston, like you're you're not in on

1283
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, signed Jamis Winston right now while everyone else

1284
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: is paying attention to the other guy, because I would

1285
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: rather have Jameis Winston on the contract you're gonna have

1286
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 1: to give him, then give up a bunch of capital

1287
01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 1: to get a Jimmy g or end up with someone

1288
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: like Marcus Mariota, who I think is also in play

1289
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: for the Colts. I think just because like you said,

1290
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: it's so much of it depends on if Matt Ryan

1291
01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 1: becomes available, or but I think Mark to Mariota could

1292
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: get a chance to start, maybe with the Colts, maybe

1293
01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 1: with another team. Andy Dalton, we need to be done

1294
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: with this, Like I think I think Andy Dalton's days

1295
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 1: as a starter are done. I think he could go

1296
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: the route of Joe Flacco and just like latch onto

1297
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: a team that seems to love you and give you

1298
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of money to be their backup. Um. I

1299
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: think he could be a good backup too on a team,

1300
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 1: like with a younger quarterback, maybe to help mentor him

1301
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: or someone would like kind of like that Tyrod Taylor

1302
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: on a Daniel Jones as the Daniel Jones backup, Like

1303
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: you're there in case of emergency, but the plan is

1304
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: that we don't have to see you at all. Yeah. Yeah,

1305
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 1: I think I think Andy Dalton's sort of done as

1306
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: a starter. I mean he is, He's a really good

1307
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,920
Speaker 1: backup um, and I think that's sort of what it's

1308
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 1: gonna be for him. Uh. You know, there was talking

1309
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:49,400
Speaker 1: about Mariota maybe landing in Indianapolis. We'll see what happens.

1310
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like for all of these guys,

1311
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna be much later in the free agency way.

1312
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:58,760
Speaker 1: I think once teams, you know, whatever trades are gonna happen,

1313
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 1: whatever other free agencies signings are gonna happen, then I

1314
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see teams come back and talk about

1315
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 1: Winston's and Mariota's and Dalton's, uh and that sort of thing.

1316
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 1: Um running back handful of names out there, Cordarol Patterson

1317
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: is technically a free agent. Uh, he's going back to

1318
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: Atlanta right Like there just seems that I can't imagine

1319
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: any other scenario but him going back to Atlanta. That's

1320
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: where I would go if I was him. It's the

1321
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,840
Speaker 1: only team that found success using you as a running

1322
01:07:23,840 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: back receiver. Yeah, I mean, all these years of people

1323
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: trying to unlock him and and finally Arthur Smith was

1324
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: able to do it. That just that just seems like

1325
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: too easy. Um. Rashan Penny is is out there, Litterard

1326
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 1: four net Ronald Jones we both talked about. Although I

1327
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: think the consensus is that Rojoe probably is leaving Tampa.

1328
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,960
Speaker 1: Maybe Lenny comes back, But maybe the most interesting name

1329
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: here for me is Melvin Gordon. Um, I know you

1330
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 1: and I talked about maybe him going somewhere else, even

1331
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,919
Speaker 1: if he can be a workhorse somewhere. Uh, mostly because

1332
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 1: selfishly we want Javonte Williams to get all of the love.

1333
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: But Melvin has said he might come back to Denver, right,

1334
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: I mean he and rest for teammates in college at Wisconsin. Um,

1335
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:08,800
Speaker 1: if Melvin Gordon comes back, does that Does that dash

1336
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,919
Speaker 1: our dreams of Javontay Williams being drafted in the first round.

1337
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if it would. If it would knock

1338
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: him out of the first round, I think it should

1339
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:21,240
Speaker 1: put fantasy people when when they like someone, they like someone,

1340
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: so maybe they continue to draft him in the first round.

1341
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,839
Speaker 1: My thing is, if Melvin Gordon leaves, I think javont

1342
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: Williams should go in like the middle of the first round.

1343
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: And I think he has the RB one potential of

1344
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: being like this year's Jonathan Taylor. But if Melvin Gordon's back,

1345
01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:39,839
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon isn't going to be like a regular backup

1346
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: running back. Like even if Javontay takes a lead role,

1347
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 1: it's probably close to like it was last season because

1348
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 1: they get to keep both of their guys healthy and

1349
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: limited the amount of touches they see, so teams don't

1350
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:54,800
Speaker 1: care about what we want for fantasy. So if Melvin

1351
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:58,800
Speaker 1: Gordon is back, it's a big blow. I think, for yeah,

1352
01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: absolutely it does. I mean know people love him. I

1353
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:03,680
Speaker 1: love him, UM, and we were talking about putting him

1354
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: in the first round, but that doesn't happen if Melvin

1355
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:07,719
Speaker 1: Gordon is there. I think both guys can be productive.

1356
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 1: But this is not at all um kind of the

1357
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: to the moon scenario that it would have been if

1358
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 1: if we knew Javonte Williams was for sure the top

1359
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,120
Speaker 1: lead workhorse running back in the Denver office. I will

1360
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 1: say this though, having Russell Wilson changes a lot of things.

1361
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: Last year, UM, you compare you compare the the Broncos

1362
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 1: running game to the Seahawks running game. UM, Broncos running

1363
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 1: backs saw eight and eight or more in the box.

1364
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,479
Speaker 1: I think more than scent of the time. Uh, Seahawks

1365
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: running backs saw eight or more in the box about

1366
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 1: six percent of the time. Having a quarterback that can

1367
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 1: throw the deep ball means you don't necessarily you can't

1368
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 1: necessarily load up near the line of scrimmage on defense. UM,

1369
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 1: so maybe this this helps we'll see wide receiver is

1370
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 1: where it gets interesting. I was all set to come

1371
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: on here and talk about what what happens with Alan Robinson?

1372
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: Where does he go? But we know the answer to

1373
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,080
Speaker 1: that he has into the Rams, So he is off

1374
01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 1: the board. H right now your your top free agent

1375
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Odell Beckham Jr. Julio Jones, who was released

1376
01:10:10,400 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: by the Titans, Jarvis Landry is still out there. Cole

1377
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:17,839
Speaker 1: Beasley was released by the Buffalo Bills. Juju Smith Schuster

1378
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:22,120
Speaker 1: is still out there. Will Fuller, Marquess, Valdes Scantling, Jamison Crowder.

1379
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: I know there are more names. These are the ones

1380
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: that seemed to have the most fantasy relevance at this point. Um,

1381
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 1: let me start with this Jarvis versus Juju thing because

1382
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: I think, you know, people sort of look at them

1383
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: as very similar players. We want the Chiefs to sign

1384
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 1: a slot receiver to help out Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey.

1385
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 1: Is there one of these guys you think is better

1386
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:47,080
Speaker 1: than the other for for Kansas City specifically, I think

1387
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 1: Juju is the better fit. He's younger, he's bigger. I

1388
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 1: think he's a little bit more explosive, so you could

1389
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 1: use him downfield more than you can Landry. That's never

1390
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: been a strong suit for Landry. And you want a

1391
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: downfield guy when you have a quarterback that has the

1392
01:11:01,920 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: second strongest arm in the NFL, I think. And also

1393
01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 1: there's been ties of Juju to Kansas City already last year.

1394
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: We haven't really heard a whole bunch about Landry, so

1395
01:11:12,439 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: I think it's Juju. But man, there's a lot of

1396
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: slot receivers available there are I mean, I mean, I

1397
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,759
Speaker 1: just I mentioned what I ripped off between Jarvis, Cole Beasley,

1398
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: and Juju. That's three right there. Because Jamison Crowder throw

1399
01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: another one uh in that list too. Um. I guess

1400
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind seeing Juju go to Kansas City. I

1401
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: would like to see Jarvis maybe in Philadelphia. I think

1402
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles would be a good fit for him. Um.

1403
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 1: We know they need wide receiver help. They've got a

1404
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: very young wide receiver room in general. UM. I mean,

1405
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:49,679
Speaker 1: for all the the frustration about Jalen reagor, Uh, he's

1406
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: younger than DeVante Smith. Just throwing that out there right,

1407
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 1: I think he's like a year younger than Devonte Smith. Um.

1408
01:11:57,439 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: But they need a veteran presence, they need somebody who

1409
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: can sort of help help help Jalen Hurts. I think

1410
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry can kind of fill that bill. So we

1411
01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: can can put Jarvis in Philly, we can put Juju

1412
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. I think that sort of works out. Um.

1413
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: With Julio Jones, there was talk that Tom Brady was

1414
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: trying to recruit him to Tampa Bay, which I mean, look,

1415
01:12:16,080 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 1: I get it from Brady's standpoint, it seems like there's

1416
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people already there in UH in

1417
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay right now. Um, is there a good fit

1418
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: for him? And I guess the other part is does

1419
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: he still have anything left in the tank? I am

1420
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,719
Speaker 1: not ready to quit on Julio Jones yet. Before last season,

1421
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,719
Speaker 1: he had never had a season where he finished outside

1422
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 1: of the top fifteen wide receivers in Fantasy points per game.

1423
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 1: I don't think he's what he was a few years ago,

1424
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 1: but I still think he can be a very useful

1425
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 1: like wide receiver three, maybe with some more upside. I

1426
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: think last year was just a completely lost season. I

1427
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: don't think it was a good fit with him in

1428
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 1: that Titan system, where with him in Tannehill and he

1429
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,000
Speaker 1: was banged up all year long, which is obviously still

1430
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:01,879
Speaker 1: the worry, but in early drafts he was going outside

1431
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,680
Speaker 1: the top sixty wide receivers. I will gladly take a

1432
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,560
Speaker 1: shot on his upside at such a cheap price, and

1433
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 1: I think he goes to a contender. Like, what does

1434
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: Julio Jones have left to do besides winning Super Bowl?

1435
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: There's nothing. So I think if it's not the Bucks,

1436
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:21,639
Speaker 1: I think we you know, it's every team that's a contender.

1437
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,799
Speaker 1: You've seen people on Twitter climbing the Bills, the Chiefs,

1438
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:28,439
Speaker 1: the Chargers. I think the Packers would be a fun

1439
01:13:28,560 --> 01:13:31,639
Speaker 1: one because they don't have anyone outside of Davantae Adams.

1440
01:13:31,680 --> 01:13:34,639
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he's getting a lot less defensive

1441
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 1: attention now with Adams on the other side of the field.

1442
01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:41,000
Speaker 1: So I think that's one where great quarterback play. You

1443
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:44,439
Speaker 1: wouldn't be the water receiver one and you're on a contender. Yeah,

1444
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 1: that would be scary. Uh Aaron Rodgers with Davantae Adams

1445
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 1: and Julio Jones to throw too. Uh. I have a feeling,

1446
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: and I know we're just we're just sort of talking here,

1447
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 1: but if that were to happen, you would see that

1448
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: that ADP go up much higher than Uh. Than wide

1449
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,840
Speaker 1: receiver sixty right now. Um, yeah, it's interesting, So I

1450
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:04,439
Speaker 1: think we can talk about this, right but O b

1451
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:07,799
Speaker 1: J is he kind of out in the in Los Angeles.

1452
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't even when he's gonna play again.

1453
01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: But it just seems like, you know, if you're the Rams,

1454
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 1: uh you have a loaded wide receiver room right now. Yeah,

1455
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 1: I think he's out with the Rams now. And I

1456
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:22,840
Speaker 1: thought that was like a shoeing to happen, Like, I

1457
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: have no idea. Maybe maybe the Patriots, like they've been

1458
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,479
Speaker 1: linked in the past, that Cowboys were one that came

1459
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 1: to mind, like O'Dell like just would seem like a

1460
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,360
Speaker 1: natural fit I think with with the star on his helmet.

1461
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 1: But they've been cutting salary, not adding it. So I'm

1462
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:43,759
Speaker 1: not really sure where O'Dell lands right now. Um, signed

1463
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: have you mentioned the Cowboys? How worried are we about

1464
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 1: this team? Right? I meanmar he's gone, They're they're releasing

1465
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:54,799
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins. Um there, as you mentioned, they're cutting salary.

1466
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: This this seems like a bad situation. I mean, I

1467
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: guess that maybe still Okay, zeke Is is definitely on

1468
01:15:02,240 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: the decline. Um, I'm not as optimistic about this offense

1469
01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 1: as I have been at past years. No me, I

1470
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:10,919
Speaker 1: I think they're still good enough to win the division,

1471
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: but not good enough to really put in the Super

1472
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 1: Bowl contender category, which I had them in last season.

1473
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 1: It was an awful week for the Cowboys, especially with

1474
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 1: the with Randy Gregory playing them as bad as he did. Yeah,

1475
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 1: the other parts I forgot about. Yeah, Randy Gregory looked

1476
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: like he was headed back to Dallas. Now all of

1477
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 1: a sudden, he's not. Yeah, Um, it's been a rough

1478
01:15:33,600 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 1: week for Jarra and the folks. Done there at the Star.

1479
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: Uh So we'll see, but yeah, things are definitely changing there.

1480
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: Um last little bit here tight ends, um gronk. Now

1481
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: the TV twelve is back? Is it? Is it automatic

1482
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:48,800
Speaker 1: that he comes back to Tampa as well? Yeah, that's

1483
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: what all the reports seemed to indicate. He was at

1484
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: a country music concert on Sunday right after Brady announced it,

1485
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 1: Like he went on stage and I thought for sure

1486
01:15:57,439 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 1: he was going to announce that he's coming back, but

1487
01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:02,559
Speaker 1: he just like so and dance. But like I wrote

1488
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,360
Speaker 1: about him already, assuming he was with the Bucks. I mean,

1489
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:08,439
Speaker 1: I feel like there's two options. Either he comes back

1490
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: to the Bucks where he just retires and goes to

1491
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 1: live gronk life. Like, I don't see any other options. Um,

1492
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, if if Brady had stayed retired, maybe we

1493
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: could talk about something, you know, like a third option

1494
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: going to Cincinnati or something like that. But I don't.

1495
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 1: I don't, Yeah, I don't. I don't see anything other

1496
01:16:26,439 --> 01:16:30,960
Speaker 1: than that. Um. Probably Austin Hooper was released, the Browns

1497
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,200
Speaker 1: moving on from Austin Hooper after a couple of years.

1498
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like the best of Hooper

1499
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,640
Speaker 1: maybe behind him. I guess the real question is are

1500
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 1: we in on David and Joku? I think he is

1501
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,000
Speaker 1: one of those tight end two's that has upside. I

1502
01:16:46,040 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't draft him to be my starter, but if you have,

1503
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 1: you know, one of the back end tight end ones

1504
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: that you don't love, I think you could you could draft,

1505
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 1: you know, in Evan Ingram and David and Joku someone

1506
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,640
Speaker 1: like that that has some upside. And IRV Smith we

1507
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: can't forget about. Oh yeah, up, we can. We can

1508
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,120
Speaker 1: bring back hashtag let earth swerve. I was all ready

1509
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: to roll that last year. Uh, he didn't get a

1510
01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 1: chance because of the injury. So so we'll see what

1511
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 1: happens there um before we get before we get out

1512
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 1: of here. And this has been a lengthy podcast, so

1513
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:14,320
Speaker 1: kudos all of you who have hung with us for

1514
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: this whole show because it was beefy. Uh. Any any

1515
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: quick winners or losers so far in Free Agazining, knowing

1516
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: that it's not done, but but what we have so far,

1517
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 1: I think the biggest winner, at least in my opinion

1518
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 1: so far, is Trevor Lawrence. Like they they added talent

1519
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:34,639
Speaker 1: around him, some playmakers, They added a lot of offensive linemen,

1520
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:36,800
Speaker 1: so I think that helps him a lot. And then

1521
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:39,639
Speaker 1: I think Michael Carter because the Jets to not sign

1522
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: a running back after hearing reports that they were in

1523
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: on James Connor, so I think he walks away from

1524
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 1: this a winner as well. Yeah, they do resign Tevin Coleman,

1525
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 1: but that doesn't seem to be a real threat to

1526
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:54,760
Speaker 1: any opportunities for Michael Carter there, so so yeah, maybe

1527
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 1: that the worst. I do like the Trevor Lawrence, I

1528
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,639
Speaker 1: think Russell Gauge ends up as a big winner, um one,

1529
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: because he just gets the quarterback up grade and Tom

1530
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: Brady and at least at the start of the season, Uh,

1531
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, he will hopefully get some more opportunities if

1532
01:18:07,720 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin isn't there. I guess we could also throw

1533
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: Allan Robinson into the mix, uh, you know, landing in

1534
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: Los Angeles, knowing that Odell Beckham is out, knowing that

1535
01:18:16,920 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: Robert Woods is still sort of working his way back

1536
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,879
Speaker 1: from the injury, uh, and getting to play with Matthew Stafford.

1537
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,439
Speaker 1: So I think I think Allen Robinson just sort of

1538
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:28,640
Speaker 1: sort of leveled up there in that one. Um oh,

1539
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,639
Speaker 1: one more free agent to talk about. Freddie Freeman goes

1540
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: to the way. Sorry, wrong sport, I got all hyped up.

1541
01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: I don't blame you. You've got the best lineup ever

1542
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 1: created ever well, you know, but your Mets have maybe

1543
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:43,479
Speaker 1: the best starting rotation that they've put together in a

1544
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: long time. I just want one series where both of

1545
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 1: those teams are healthy and we could just see them

1546
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:52,560
Speaker 1: play seven games like that. Would that would be a

1547
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 1: lot of fun. So yeah, man, I know it's not

1548
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 1: a baseball podcast, but baseball is happening, so that's good.

1549
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:00,679
Speaker 1: I will actually have some baseball to watch during the summer,

1550
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 1: So that's that's very cool. All right. I think it's

1551
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 1: time to to stop this because yeah, I know right

1552
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: if you just we just got started, um, and we

1553
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 1: made it through the whole show without Deshaun Watson being traded.

1554
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: As of now, Baker Mayfield still a Brown, still doesn't

1555
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 1: want to be a Brown. The Brown still want him

1556
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:20,680
Speaker 1: to be a Brown. That's where we are, all right.

1557
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:22,679
Speaker 1: That'll do it for this edition of the NFL Fantasy

1558
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:25,720
Speaker 1: Football Podcast. Stay happy, safe and healthy, do good and

1559
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,600
