1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: Wow, what is Welcome to another edition of the NFL

2
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy Live Podcast, Me and your Man m G. Marcus

3
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: Grant alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer Michael Fabiano on

4
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: our man Grandma Farfield. We've got a show since New

5
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: Year's right, all these days have kind of run together

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: for me. All right? Yeah, we did well because we

7
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: were watching the car chase. That's right, we were watching

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: the car actually had somebody on Twitter asked me what

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 1: the The dude ended up running out of gas in

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: San Diego and the police sent in the dog and

11
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: the dog kind of grabbed them by the chest and

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: dragged his dragged his butt out of the car. That

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: seems sort of anti climactic. Well, I guess not the

14
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 1: that part seems interesting, but the the whole him driving

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: until he runs out of gas seems sort of thought.

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Then there was another one, like a couple of days

17
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: later that went right by where I live in play

18
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: A Vista. So like I'm watching it on the screen

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: and I called my girlfriend and I'm like, hey, look

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: out the window right now because we live right on Lincoln,

21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: and I'm like, there's a car chase is gonna go

22
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: right by you? And she's like, oh my gosh, there's

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: the car and there's a police helicopter going right by.

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: That's life in l A for your friends. That's funny.

25
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: I got plenty to talk about today. We've got some

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: coaching hires that will be probably the bulk of what

27
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: we do. Want to talk about. Some sophomores that maybe

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: didn't make a splash as rookies that could potentially be

29
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: big things next year. We'll talk to some playoff challenge,

30
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 1: We'll talk some daily fantasy all that and stuff. But

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: first of all, we do any of that, go back

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: on the other side of the glass. Talk to our man,

33
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: our faithful producer, Senior Edward L. Murphy. Esquire Murph, what's up. Yeah.

34
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: I know it's supposed to be the off season, but

35
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: there seems to be a lot Obviously, we have the

36
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: Division round games coming up, the Wild Game games, a

37
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 1: lot of fun. But with the coaching carousel and you

38
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: have some guys declaring for the NFL Draft, it's never

39
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: really the off season. So we're still like, you know,

40
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: full speed ahead, especially for me, my friend as my

41
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, my beloved Dallas Cowboys going to Los Angeles

42
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: and uh, try to try to one more miracle out

43
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: of the hat. We'll see. I don't know. You know me,

44
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: All season long, I've been like, we're gonna lose, but

45
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: it's worth Ever since we got beat by Tennessee, I'm like,

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: we're done October, and then every week I'm like, we're

47
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: gonna lose. I went three and one of my picks

48
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: in the one game I was wrong, I picked against

49
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: your Cowboys. I'm not surprised. Well, I mean, like the

50
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: biggest shock was the game that everyone got wrong, right,

51
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, who picked the Eagles outside of Eagles fans?

52
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: You did? Yeah, okay, you're a smart guy. I think

53
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: Rice jonesre said it best the other day when I

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: was talking to him that they must have just sacrificed

55
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: a goat or something, because it makes no sense as

56
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: to why that I know. Well, I mean like they

57
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: made the late season running, get in the Vikings, got

58
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: beat and um then they go in Chicago and I

59
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: thought that was the toughest road matchup of any of them.

60
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: And I know, dude, it's it's it's crazy. Actually, I

61
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: would love to see an Eagles Cowboys NFC championship game.

62
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I would not love. I love it's

63
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I wonder why I'm just focused on You're

64
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: a Giant's focused on Dwayne Haskins twoting up extures of

65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: himself photoshop at a giant's jersey. That's what because that

66
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: who that was? I saw that? Okay, I was like,

67
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 1: I was like, like, that doesn't look like Teddy Bridgewater.

68
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: I try to figure out that, we'll ask it is

69
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: a jersey guy. So he tweeted that, and then like

70
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: a half hour later, people were like, you should probably

71
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: get rid of that. He deleted it. But it's strange

72
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: shot because nothing nothing goes away up. You should you

73
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: should know like the minute you toot that out, it's

74
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: it's there forever. Well, why are you even deleted? Everyone

75
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: knows what it's there? It's fine whatever. Oh man alright,

76
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: So pointed to talk about so hey, let's get to

77
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: it and let's do some news. Actually, before we start

78
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: the news, I should actually inform all of you we

79
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: are down to once a week now that the season

80
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: is done. So in case you were wondering where we

81
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: were on Monday, I just know that, yeah, we're once

82
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: a week, will be on Wednesdays. From here until we'll

83
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: probably tell you late summer early fall to we get

84
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: back to you know, close at the start of the

85
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: season again. So I just know that that would be

86
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: is news. There we go. So there we go. There's

87
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: some news and draft. I mean, if we have to

88
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: maybe jump in you during the week, of course, if

89
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: we special editions will do that, but generally speaking, we

90
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: will be just once a week on Wednesdays going forward

91
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: until probably I guess August or September something like that.

92
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: All Right, the coaching carousel has been spinning frantically over

93
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, so let's get to it

94
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: right now. Bruce arians is back as a head coach again.

95
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: He took the job with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, spent

96
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: a year out of the coaching game, was doing some television. Uh.

97
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: Now he's back on the sidelines. And guys, we saw

98
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: what he did with Arizona. I mean, he was a

99
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: big part of making David Johnson the star that he

100
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: became a couple of seasons ago. Now he goes down

101
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: to Tampa and there are some pieces there. I would

102
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 1: guess it depends on how much you believe in Jamis Winston.

103
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: We know there's Mike Evans. We're not or what's happening

104
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: with the running game, but at least this seems a

105
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: little more intriguing than what we saw with their cut

106
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: over the Everyone's going to be targeting Jamis late Everyone

107
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Jamis wasn't bad this past season. It was like from

108
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective, he still turns the ball over too much.

109
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 1: But arians in his resume when it comes to quarterbacks,

110
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger. He's got some pretty

111
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: solid UH quarterbacks on his resume there, Carson Palmer. So

112
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: suddenly Jamis and I believe this is the last year

113
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: of his Rickie deal coming up. I mean, this is

114
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: a put up or shut up year for Jamis and

115
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: he just got he just got handed one of the

116
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 1: great offensive minds and one of the great sort of

117
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: quarterback Grew's uh in the NFL. So Winston's value is

118
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: certainly on the rise. And you talk about the running game,

119
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're running back is on the

120
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: roster right now, we'll see. I don't know what Jones,

121
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is like. He he was a complete flop

122
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: in year one. UM he could barely get on the field.

123
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Peyton Barber had some moments, but nobody will

124
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 1: leave in Peyton Barber long term. You know, de Sean

125
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: Jackson is not going to be back next year. So

126
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean there's like it was a Chris Godwin potentially there. Yeah,

127
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: that's a he's a nice breakout guy for definitely gonna

128
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: be a lot of turnover with this roster. I mean,

129
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: the Bucks exercised Winston's fifth year option, so they're gonna

130
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: have to pay him just over twenty million dollars this

131
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: upcoming season. Yeah, D Jacks probably won't be back. We

132
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: won't see D Jacks in a Bucks uniform again. Um,

133
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: there's no way you can go in the season trusting

134
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones. But I I personally loved this higher Bruce

135
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: Arians in Arizona like brand, basically like the NFL's version

136
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: of I kind of want to say the Chiefs kind

137
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: of air raid new attack they've kind of instituted here.

138
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the Cardinals in Bruce Arians four years as

139
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: head coach, were top seven in air yards per attempt

140
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: every year. Jameis Winston was second in the league in

141
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: air yards per ten this past season. So from like

142
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: just a scheme perspective, it makes a lot of sense

143
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: for them to bring in Arians, who has had plenty

144
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: of success even with bad quarterbacks Threw Stanton and foremost

145
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 1: is that plenty success with good and bad quarterbacks. And

146
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean the biggest thing obviously with Winston is just

147
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: he's got to kill the backbreaking turnovers right where. I mean,

148
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: we all remember the Bengals game where he basically just

149
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: kind of didn't show up and through two turnovers to

150
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: the wine bag, you know, Cincinnati linebackers for the game

151
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: even started. Yeah, I just you know, and you're right

152
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 1: with with Jamis that's the thing we've all been waiting

153
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: for the last couple of years, is him to be

154
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: better at protecting the football. That was a big storyline

155
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: on Hard Knocks, Uh was you know, we need you

156
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: to be better about taking care of the football that

157
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: may always be here, that may always I think that's

158
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: just who he is now, That's who he was at

159
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: Florida State. I think that's just gonna be who he is.

160
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: And I think if you're Bruce Arians, you gotta figure

161
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: out a way, I guess work around that as much

162
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: as possible. Um, but you know, there the passing game

163
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: elements are certainly there. With the quarterback, You've got a

164
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: couple of good young wide receivers. You know, you've got

165
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: two good tight ends between Cameron Brayton o j Howard.

166
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: If you have them, you know, maybe you can find

167
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: a running back in the draft that can help you

168
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: out and kind of boost that part of it. But

169
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: the pieces are there for Bruce Arians to be successful. Well,

170
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: speaking of Arians, his former team, the Arizona Cardinals, they

171
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: hire a new coach, Cliff Kingsbury. And you know, I

172
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: got a lot of texts because Kingsbury was at USC,

173
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: and I got a lot of texts asking me what

174
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: was my favorite moments of the Kingsbury era at he

175
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: was he was there longer though than you know, Belichick

176
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: was with the Jets, right so, right that right there,

177
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: longer than Manny Diaz was with Temple. I mean even

178
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: if for for us the USC Nerds, he was there

179
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: longer than Rick Majeris was our basketball coach. Jis. Oh

180
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: so yeah, So anyway, Cliff Kingsbury no longer at USC.

181
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: He's now the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals. And

182
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: obviously it's about offense, right, This is all about what

183
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 1: he did at Texas Tech. That the things that he

184
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: did with Patrick Mahomes and the way he was able

185
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: to move the ball up and down the field. Defense

186
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: be damned when he was in Lubbock because they didn't

187
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: play any defense whatsoever, but they scored a lot of points.

188
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: You've got a young quarterback in Josh rosen Um. You

189
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: know you've got a young wide receiver in Christian Kirk. Now.

190
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: I don't believe Larry Fitzgerald has made a decision on

191
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: what he's doing next year. So maybe he's back, maybe

192
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: he's not. We know David Johnson is there and certainly

193
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 1: is still as talented as he ever was, So there

194
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: are certainly some pieces in place for Cliff Kingsbury. They

195
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: need an offensive line, though, Graham, I mean, I think

196
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing, regardless of who's back there. If

197
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: they don't have an old line, if they can't solve

198
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: that problem, um, then this this may kind of be

199
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: a failure to launch in the first year for them.

200
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have tried, um but failed repeatedly to revamp

201
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: their offensive line, either through free agency and it just

202
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: it just hasn't worked over the last couple of years.

203
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: Their offensive line has been a major problem basically since

204
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: Arian's left. That probably won't change um cataclysmically in two

205
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 1: thousand nineteen. But I'm really excited to see Cliff Kingsbury

206
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: right Like. It's been kind of crazy to watch some

207
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: of the reaction on Twitter and to listen to some

208
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: of the reaction on TV, in in podcasts and stuff.

209
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: Early on it's we've all been kind of clamoring for

210
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: to get some new blood, new minds and NFL, and

211
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of negative reactions to hiring Cliff Kingsburg.

212
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think I understand. It's understood though,

213
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: because obviously he was fired at Texas Tech, right, had

214
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: to take a demotion emotion as an offensive coordinator at USC,

215
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: and then he gets a job um as the head

216
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: coach the Arizona Cardinals. I mean, one would assume he

217
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: would have no say on the defense. It'd kind of

218
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: be like a Seawan mcveigh's situation in l A where right,

219
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean Kingsbury right like, that has to be their

220
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: ideas just going there with has no no s right. Yeah,

221
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: it's all offense are saying the same kind of thing.

222
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: But everyone's looking for the next McVeigh. And that's what

223
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: we're seeing here with so many offensive coaches being hired

224
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,479
Speaker 1: as head coaches. Just a few stats there from Kingsbury's

225
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: tenure at Texas Tech. You know, of the sixty four

226
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: schools and the Power of Five Conferences, Texas take ranked

227
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: fifty nine in rushing attempts, although they attempted five and

228
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: fifty seven screen passes during his ten year, which is

229
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 1: the second most among the Power of Five conferences. That's

230
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: good news for David Johnson. But this is a guy

231
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: who just threw it and threw it through it some more.

232
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: That's the air raid offense. You go, you go to

233
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: the line with a pass play. You don't go to

234
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: the line with a run play called you audible into runs.

235
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: And obviously I don't have no idea what type of

236
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: offense Kingsburg is gonna install. He'll assume I'm assuming he'll

237
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,599
Speaker 1: probably install a souped up version of the offense he

238
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: ran a Texas Tech. But I'm I'm actually really excited.

239
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm really excited. We're fantasy dudes, man, we love offense.

240
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see how this works. And I you know,

241
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: for all these all these coaching hires. I really have

242
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: reserved judgment it. It certainly helps that I have not

243
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,599
Speaker 1: been on Twitter quite as heavy the last couple of

244
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: days while this is going on, so I've missed a

245
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: lot of this conversation. But you know, I'm just very

246
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: curious to see how this works. I'm also curious to

247
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: see how this works in light of the fact that

248
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: I won't say people figured out the Rams offense down

249
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: this shreat because I don't think that's the case, but

250
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: I think people figured out a different way to sort

251
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: of defend them. One of the things that that you

252
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: heard announcers talk about is that, you know, because Sean

253
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: McVeigh would take that time, you know, get get everyone

254
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: up to the line quickly, you have until fifteen seconds

255
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: left on the play clock to talk to your quarterback

256
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: before you know, before the mike shuts off. And this

257
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: is the thing actually Harry William mc ginnis talk about

258
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: in the green room one day that now teams have

259
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: started to figure out, well, what's the skies, what we're

260
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: going to do, and then when the mike shuts off

261
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: at fifteen seconds, then maybe we'll line up and we're

262
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna force Jared Goff to read what we're doing defensively

263
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: without having his coach kind of talk to him, talk

264
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: him through it in his ear. And so you know,

265
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of curious whether or not this will

266
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: be the thing to do to sort of defend them

267
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: these offenses. But I'm I'm absolutely interested to see this

268
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: is what it is, Cliff Kingsbury does. This is a

269
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: desperation attempt to save Josh frozen. I think it has

270
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: to be because Steve Wilkes, Um, I mean obviously was

271
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: I want to say ill qualified dropping first place and

272
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: it didn't go well. Um, they spent top a top

273
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: pick on Josh Rosen, and I mean they had to

274
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: do something out of desperation to try to save his

275
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: career early on Ala Jared Goff. I mean it's the

276
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: same thing that talked about a couple of years years

277
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: ago with golf. Yeah, I mean golf was considered a

278
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: bust after the first year Josh right now per Twitter

279
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: is Yeah, well that's that's quick to judgment on social media,

280
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: right exactly. You know, if you don't if you don't

281
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 1: produce for me in week one, then the obviously you're

282
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: just no good. Uh. Let's see over to the Green

283
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: Babe Hackers. They have agreed with four year deal with

284
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur. I think the most interesting part of this

285
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: is that it makes the NFC North a three Matt division,

286
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: with that Mattnege in Chicago, Matt Lafleur in Green Bay,

287
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: and Matt Patricia in Detroit. Get on the ball in Minnesota?

288
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: What are you doing? You're Mike Zimmer, what's wrong with

289
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: you? You You gotta get like a Matt somebody or other. Um. Honestly,

290
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 1: the biggest knock on the Packers offense this past year

291
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: was the play calling that that Mike McCarthy had gotten stale,

292
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: that they were asking Aaron Rodgers maybe to do too much,

293
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: that they weren't getting they weren't scheming guys open, that

294
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: it just had kind of become boring and predictable. Uh

295
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, Matt Lafleur. Yeah, look, I think there's some

296
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: I look at this and I say, Okay, I know

297
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: that Matt Lafleur probably did some some decent things there

298
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 1: with Tennessee. But at the same time, the Titans offense

299
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: just kind of left you wanting. And so I come

300
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: into this FABS wondering how much of this was Matt

301
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: Lafleur last year. How much of it was save Marcus

302
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: Mariota and the pieces around them. I remember this offense

303
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: took basically twelve thirteen weeks to figure out that they

304
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: should maybe just turn them around. Hey, and and that's

305
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: all they did it. And you know, Lafleur has had

306
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: some success there. Uh he was the he was a

307
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: coach there in Atlanta when Matt Ryan had his MVP

308
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: season and uh he was also in Washington with Rob

309
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: mcgrill from the third when he was the NFL Offensive

310
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: Rookie of the year. Uh. Now he gets arguably the

311
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the entire league. And one would think

312
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: when think now, Green Bay has got to improve their

313
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: offensive line one thing, But one would think that Aaron

314
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: Rodgers in what was a down year for him, and

315
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: he finished I believe fourth and Fantasy points a one

316
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks based on that monster performance he had at the

317
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: end of the season where he had over forty But um,

318
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone ever doubted Aaron Rodgers would would

319
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: rebound and have a bigger season in twenty nineteen than

320
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: he died in eighteen. And and hopefully the flour is

321
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: going to be part of. I don't think the one

322
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: thing that I'm interested to see is how many times

323
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: is Roger's gonna audible off of a love floor play call?

324
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: Because you know Rogers, I mean that guy is like

325
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: a coach on the football field. So but there were

326
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: of course reports that he and McCarthy had a relationship

327
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: that had gone sour. So la fleur again, I'm thirty

328
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: nine years old, two seasons as an NFL offensive coordinator,

329
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: He's got ten years of NFL coaching experience. He's another

330
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: another sort of in the mold of we want to

331
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: find the next McVeigh and uh, you know that's that

332
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: that's sort of where the Packers went here. And uh,

333
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised they want the offensive mind either, because

334
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: again they have arguably the greatest quarterback, greatest quarterback in

335
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: the league right now under center. And uh, you know,

336
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 1: Father time he comes for everybody except for Frank Gore.

337
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: So and that's the clock is taken with Rogers. Yeah,

338
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing. I mean, like they I

339
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: think they've got to do something quick just because there

340
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: are only how many more years can you expect to

341
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: get Aaron Rodgers at a peak level. UM, and I

342
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: feel like they they they're at a point the Packers

343
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: are where they just can't waste time now. Yeah. Look,

344
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: Laflora is definitely spent time with some of the sharpest

345
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 1: and brightest minds um in football since two thousand and

346
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: twelve he started, UM. I believe he started with the

347
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: Redskins organization in two thousand twelve, where he was working

348
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: with Shanahan's They has Sean mcveigh's the tight ends coach.

349
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: That's a nice little stable of coaches, right, and ironically

350
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: they don't have any of them now Washington doesn't have

351
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: anybody now yeah, and then obviously follows Shanahan to the Falcons,

352
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: follows mcveado the Rams, and now lands in this head

353
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: coach spot. Marcus, you want to go back to a

354
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: point you made about the Titans off next year? Right?

355
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: Was it just were they just unlucky? Like Marcus Mariota

356
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: was never healthy. Delane Walkers, you know, broke his ankle

357
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 1: Week one, right. Jack Conklin missed seven games and had

358
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: come out of two more. Their stud guard UM, I

359
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: don't know, man, Like they had to face the six

360
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: toughest schedule per Shark Football's strength of schedule metrics to

361
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: like I kind of want to give him a little

362
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: bit more time. Like it's I guess the thing with

363
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: me with the floors, I'm still an open book on that, right,

364
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: I'm not sold by any means because the Titans season

365
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: was just so so weird. No, And I think I

366
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: think those are all valid points that you make there,

367
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: I mean, because you're right. You know, Mariota had elbow

368
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: problems for a long stretch of the year. Uh you know,

369
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: I yeah, I almost forgot that Delaney Walker got hurt

370
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: so early on. You know, by the way sard Rochard

371
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: Matthews just went a wall too, I mean, and that

372
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: was the thing their wide receiver corps, mean, you know,

373
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: Corey Davis was inconsistent, and then you know, I don't

374
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: know how much you could really expect to get from

375
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: guys like Taiwan Taylor and Taj Sharp and what have you. So,

376
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: uh you know, you know, so so maybe you're right,

377
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: maybe there is something there. I mean, they did a

378
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: pretty good job with with Dion Lewis for a good

379
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: stretch of the season, and Derrick Henry took over in

380
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: the back half. So again, like I have I'm kind

381
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: of reserving judgment on all of these hires, but obviously

382
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: with Matt Lafleur, the last thing we have to go

383
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: on was a Titan season that was just sort of

384
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: up and down. But I think obviously that there are

385
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 1: some maybe extenuating circumstances UH that go into I'm hoping

386
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: this is a good thing for Aaron Jones too, because

387
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: the four like to run the football, I mean rush percentage.

388
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: For the Titans, he was second rush attempts, he was

389
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: ninth rushing yard, seven, tied for eleventh, and rushing touchdowns

390
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: and then of course with the Rams UH all top

391
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: ten in those four categories, because well you've got Todd

392
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: Gurley there so and Aaron Jones is a playmaker and

393
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: the guy that had really started to shine and he

394
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: will be clearly one of the top breakout candidates in

395
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: fantasy football UH in twenty nineteen, and I think the

396
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: la Fleur hire is good news for him. You know,

397
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 1: It's funny as much as we just to make final point,

398
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: as much as we hammered the Titans smash mouth exotics

399
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: offense and two thousand and sevent team, the floor was

400
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,239
Speaker 1: more run heavy. It was run heavy, which is kind

401
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: of wild. Prior season there at forty just over, I

402
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: still never got with the exotic part of the exotic smash. Yeah,

403
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: what is exotic about it? You have Derrick Henry and

404
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: he's like six and four and look, I don't know.

405
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: I mean that was that was the part that confused me,

406
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: sort of the exotic part. Um. Hey, the Broncos decided

407
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: to try something different. When everybody else is hiring offensive

408
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: minded coaches, they hire a defensive minded coach. They are

409
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,440
Speaker 1: expected to hire Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio as their

410
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 1: head coach. In fact, by the time this podcast is

411
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 1: uploaded and you are listening to it, they may have

412
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: already had the introductory press conference, or at least the

413
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: press release. Um may have gone out now. Um you

414
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: know everybody, You know, when everybody is zigging, there's always

415
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: gonna be one or two teams that's sort of zag here,

416
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: Right When when you have a chance to go out

417
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 1: and get the guy who put together the best defense

418
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: and league the past year, I think it's at least

419
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: worth a shot. You look at this defense. I think

420
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: this defense is closer to being something really good than

421
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: than the offense was. I think the offense still needs

422
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 1: some help. They've got, you know, they got quarterback issues. Uh,

423
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: they've suddenly you're breaking in I think a young wide

424
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: receiver corps. They've got some some decent running backs between

425
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay when he's healthy and Royce Freeman. But this

426
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: is a defense that still has a lot of really

427
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: good pieces on it, right, I mean, you've got Von Miller,

428
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: You've got Bradley Chub I think you've got you know,

429
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: you still have Chris Harrison the secondary. You've got some pieces.

430
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: So maybe the Broncos idea is to let's let's build

431
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: our defense with Vic Fangio. He's done a good job

432
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: in Chicago, he did a good job in San Francisco. Um,

433
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 1: so maybe this is the idea here. And I know

434
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: we don't necessarily talk a lot of defense because we're

435
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: fantasy guys and that's not what we do. But hey,

436
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: defense is a part of the game. So maybe this

437
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: means the Broncos defense goes back to being one of

438
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 1: those things those that we draft. But I think this

439
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: was a smart move on Denner's part because of the

440
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: offensive pieces that they have or lack, right, I mean,

441
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: their quarterback is case Keenum and uh, I don't know

442
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: that you're bringing anybody in here that is going to

443
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: come in and make a major impact there in that offense.

444
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: So the Broncos are going to come in with Fangio

445
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: and try to win, playing very solid defense and letting

446
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: Keenum or whoever is going to be the quarterback in

447
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: nineteen and into the future sort of be more of

448
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: a game manager, a guy like uh that that's going

449
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: to come in and not make mistakes, and they're gonna

450
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: want to play ball control, They're gonna want to run

451
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: the football, They're gonna want to win the time of

452
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: possession every single week. And that's going to be the

453
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: Broncos moving forward under Fangio. Who's gonna be their O

454
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: C good question, That's a good question, because that's that's

455
00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 1: the big thing I care about, right Like when the

456
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 1: Cardinals higher Cliff Cliff Kingsbury, they ostensibly do so so

457
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: he can call plays. And therefore you don't want to

458
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: change your scheme every single year because you're hopefully going

459
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 1: to keep Kingsbury every single year. Who who's going to

460
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: call plays for the Broncos next year? Yeah, that that

461
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: remains to be seen, And I think that is going

462
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: to have a large impact on what happens. So what

463
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: about Kubiak, does he did he come back after his Uh?

464
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that the isn't that the rumor after

465
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: his long stint as John Elways backup quarterback coming be

466
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: his his offensive coordinator? Now that he won, there's there's

467
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: there's you know, I mean some sort of like, you know,

468
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: connections right at that point. I don't think it will

469
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: be the worst idea in the world. Um, you know,

470
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 1: I think if there's one thing we have seen with

471
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: John Elways that I think he tends to be more

472
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: conservative in in his decision making there, and so why

473
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: not go to a guy that he knows and trusts

474
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: and has a relationship with. I don't I don't think

475
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: it's it's completely insane and I don't know that it

476
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: would be a terrible idea. I mean, he's had some success,

477
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 1: Kubiak has, so maybe, but I think that's going to

478
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: have a lot to do with how we view this

479
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: Broncos offense. Uh in the very near future. Um alright,

480
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: So now back to offensive head coaches getting hired. Freddie

481
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 1: Kitchens is going to get the job for the Cleveland

482
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 1: Brown did come down to him and Kevin Stefanski. But

483
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 1: Stefanski is going to stay in Minnesota as their offensive

484
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: coordinator for the time being, and so Freddie Kittens. The

485
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: Jets are desperate and need to hire somebody maybe, but

486
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, so Freddy Kittens is going to stay in

487
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 1: as the Brown's head coach. Greg Williams has been, as

488
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 1: they said, so ceremoniously relieved of his duties. It always

489
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: makes me laugh, right, and he was fired. You know,

490
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: it happens. It happens to lots of people. Uh, it

491
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 1: happens to Greg Williams. So he's no longer there in

492
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland now. Freddie Kitchens, obviously it was a big part

493
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: of when things turned around. Hugh Jackson was let go,

494
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: Kitchens was elevated hero Hugh Jackson to Todd Haley wore

495
00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: let go, I should say, Freddie Kitchens was elevated from

496
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: running backs coach to offensive coordinator and I mean Graham.

497
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: That's when we saw things turned around for both Nick

498
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: Chubb and Baker Mayfield. And this offense really kind of

499
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 1: kicked it into another gear. Yes, since um, basically after

500
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: Todd Haley was hired or excuse me, fired UM in

501
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: week eight. So from week nine to week seventeen, the

502
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 1: Browns trailed only the Saints, the Chiefs, and one other

503
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: team that was the Saints in Chiefs and offensive yards

504
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 1: game per drive UM. They were fourth among all teams

505
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: in touchdowns scored per drive. Baker Mayfield was fifth among

506
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: all quarterbacks in passerrating. This offense really really took off

507
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: against I mean, frankly, let's face it, not the easiest schedule,

508
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: of course. I mean they came out of the Haley

509
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: firing and played the Chiefs, Falcons, and Bengals, but then

510
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: they had to play the Texans, they had to play

511
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: the Panthers, the Broncos, play Bengals again, then finished the

512
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: season with the Ravens. I'm obviously over the moon with

513
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: us on more than the side about the Browns and

514
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 1: twenty Night that is all that is going to be

515
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 1: a potential fantasy powerhouse, because you know, we've only started

516
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: to see the beginnings of what Baker Mayfield can be

517
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: both as a real and fantasy football quarterback. H Once

518
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: once Kitchens took over, I mean he had a touchdown

519
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: interception mark. The Browns average right around twenty four points

520
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: per game, They've got a hell of a good young

521
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: running back in Nick Chubb in the backfield that that

522
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: that team is going to be fun to watch. You've

523
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: got David and Joko, who is a young tight end,

524
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry of course, who's coming off a disappointing campaign.

525
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: But this, this firm a fantasy perspective is kind of

526
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: what we wanted to see. I didn't want to see

527
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: change in that offensive scheme. We didn't want to see

528
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: change in terms of who is calling the shots. And

529
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: we are going to get what we want because Kitchen

530
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: is the guy. Now. You mentioned Jarvis Landry, right, and

531
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: he sort of disappointed in a lot of respects this year.

532
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 1: Is it do they have to do something to upgrade

533
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position or is this just a case

534
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: of Baker being able to just work with some of

535
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: these guys and kind of get used to being, you know,

536
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: being on the field with him. I mean, Antonio Callaway

537
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: was sort of frustrating with Shard Higgins really didn't do much.

538
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of their their past catching production.

539
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: Outside of Landry, who led the team with just under

540
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: a thousand yards, it was David and Joku um as

541
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,439
Speaker 1: excited as we are about this offense, and as excited

542
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: as we are about Baker Mayfield, like if if he's

543
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: not getting production from his wide receivers, it feels like

544
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: there's just a cap on his production production potential there. Yeah,

545
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: that they could add some weapons. I think they're going

546
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 1: to continue to develop Antonio Callaway, who would have been

547
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: a lot higher draft pick UH last year had he

548
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: not sort of been a knucklehead off the field. So

549
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: there's there's still some upside. You know, Higgins and show

550
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: some flashes, although he's certainly not an elite wide receiver

551
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: at the NFL level, But you could see them ad

552
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: some weapons in that passing game because you give Baker

553
00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: another bona fide wide receiver to throw too. With Chubb

554
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 1: in the backfield, I mean, you're looking at an offense

555
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: that could rival some of the best in the league.

556
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: One of the big things that I noticed, um at

557
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: least with the coaching changes, Jarvis Landry's role completely changed.

558
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: I mean, weeks one three with Todd Haley, he averaged

559
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: eleven point eight targets per game, had double digit targets

560
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: in seven of eight, and then they they fire Haley,

561
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: bring Kitchens in UH and Landry's targets per game go

562
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: down to six point nine. He never saw double digit

563
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: targets in another game. Um, they kind of spread the

564
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: all around, and I think that's kind of why we

565
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 1: never really had a typical receiver to really rely on

566
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: every week. It is because, I mean Kitchens came in

567
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: and was given a few targets to uh, to Duke Johnson.

568
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 1: They would throw it deep to Preshod Paraman. Rashard Higgins

569
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: was involved. Um, it'll be really interesting to see what

570
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: they do. And they've got to bring in a lid lifter.

571
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: It'll be really really interesting to see what they do

572
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 1: to kind of layer the offense with Landry and Joku

573
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: and Duke underneath, because they've got to get somebody to

574
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: take the think about how ridiculously deep quarterback is going

575
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: to be next season, I mean like it, I would

576
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: have no problem at all going into the regular season

577
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: next season with say a duo of Jamis and Baker

578
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: as my two quarterbacks. Would have no problem at all.

579
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: And neither one of those guys is going to go

580
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 1: in the top ten rounds. It's just not The position

581
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: is so ridiculously deep. And I mean there's guys who

582
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 1: are coming off a bad seasons who have elite potential

583
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: that we've seen like Carson Wentz right, I mean, didn't

584
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: play very well, was banged up. Nick Foles is now

585
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: doing his thing in the playoffs. But the position is

586
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: just unreal. It's extraordinarily deep and uh with some of

587
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: these hires, we are seeing even more quarterback value, like Winston,

588
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: like with the retention of of Kitchens now and Baker

589
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: being a potential breakout candidate next season. I mean, it

590
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: is going to be it is going to be ridiculous

591
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: to watch the numbers that some of these quarterbacks are

592
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: are going to potentially put up. And this is coming

593
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: after a twenty eight teen season where the quarterback position

594
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: scored over eight thousand, eight hund Fantasy points. It's the

595
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: most in a single season since two thousand, which is

596
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 1: basically as far as we can go back and track

597
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: that statistic, eight thousand eight aren't five fantasy points. That's

598
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: a little ridiculous. You kind of real You kind of

599
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: made me a little bit sad, Graham. You talked about

600
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchen spreading the ball around a little bit, because

601
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: it it made me think back to some of the

602
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: heyday of the Saints offense when Drew Brees was like

603
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: a top three quarterback, but you could never really count

604
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: on any of his receivers because you just didn't know who.

605
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: You know, was it a Devrey Henderson week is hit

606
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: and Marcus Colston week. You just never really knew um.

607
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: And so that that kind of concerns me a little bit. Like,

608
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,719
Speaker 1: you know, Baker will be there, he'll get his numbers,

609
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: but now if if we're struggling to figure out which

610
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: guy he's gonna throw it too on a weekly basis.

611
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 1: That's according to uh tweets that I'm seeing out there

612
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: from some NFL insiders, Gary Kubiaks, the guy running that office.

613
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: Interesting indeed, which is what I thought last little bit

614
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: of coaching carousel news. There are still three jobs that

615
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: are available. The Bengals, the Dolphins, and the Jets still

616
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: have openings, although Mike McCarthy has thrown his hat into

617
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 1: the ring for the Jets job that I don't know.

618
00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: I don't I want Sam Donald to succeed, I want Um.

619
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how I feel about this potentially, But anyway,

620
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: we will keep you updated on those UH as we

621
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 1: learn more, As we all learn more and we all

622
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: have Twitter, We'll I'll find out out a lot of

623
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: this stuff together. I will talk about it more as

624
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: these things become real. So there you go, long news

625
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: segment that that's pretty much everything you need to know

626
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: the news. Okay, I missed a little bit that, but

627
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: I know, Eddie, you had some news about Christopher Shard.

628
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: I see on Twitter that that's the room that he

629
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: might get the job in uh in Miami, accord. I

630
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: don't know. Wow, Christophers Shard, the former Seahawks defensive coordinator

631
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Uh D see there is he the No,

632
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: he's not the DC, he's uh he's coach, he's the

633
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: defensive backs coach. As a Cowboys fan, I don't like

634
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: that at all. But I mean he kind of was

635
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: a guy that was on the rise too, so you

636
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: sort of saw that coming. Yeah. By the way, there's

637
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: a rumor floating around now on Twitter dot com that

638
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: the Cardinals have interest in Texas eight head coach Jake

639
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: spavitol I may be mispronouncing his name for the offensive

640
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: coordinator job under Cliff Kingsbury. They coached together at the

641
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 1: University of Houston. So the Cardinals just going all in

642
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: with kind of this young offensive minded head coach. Yeah,

643
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: head coaching offensive coordinator. Uh set up here. So, by

644
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: the way, good on them. Either it to be great

645
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: or it will go down in flames. Wikipedia already has

646
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: Richard as the head coach in Miami. Wikipedia does not

647
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: waste its great that there there. They must have heard yet,

648
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm old enough to remember Chris Rashard as a

649
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: actual dB at USC playing for Pete Carroll and then

650
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: working for Pete Carroll in Seattle. There you, Um, let's

651
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about sophomore. They got a list

652
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: of six guys here who made minimal contributions in their

653
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: rookie years but could potentially be poised for big things

654
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: and their second year, and just kinda want to get

655
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: your thoughts on, you know, what you predict from them,

656
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: where potentially you might look at drafting them, all that

657
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. So it's start with a guy that

658
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: I think actually is is pretty much slated I think

659
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: for a big role next year, and that's Rashad Penny,

660
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: who we thought maybe he would get a lot of

661
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: work this year. It didn't happen. Early. Chris Carson played

662
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: really well. We saw some Mike Davis, but late in

663
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,959
Speaker 1: the season, we started to see more and more rashot

664
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: Penny in the offense and FABS. I just look at

665
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: this and say that they're going to give him. Remember

666
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: they made a move to trade in the draft and

667
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: get him. I just I see a situation where they're

668
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: going to give him every opportunity next year to be

669
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: the starter in Seattle. I mean, you would think, but

670
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: Chris Carson rushed for over yards and nine touchdowns. I mean,

671
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: sometimes you make a mistake. The Seahawks made a mistake

672
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: with mad Flynn and they ate it and Russell Wilson

673
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: has been the guy ever since. So I just don't

674
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: like that this could potentially end up being a backfield

675
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: committee after a season where Chris Carson clearly showed that

676
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 1: he could be a featured back in the National Football League.

677
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: But you're you're correct there. There's there's a good chance

678
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: that Penny is gonna get every opportunity to overtake him

679
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: during camp. Whether or not that happens remains to be seen.

680
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: I think the more likely scenario is that you're going

681
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: to see a backfield committee and um that that's gonna

682
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 1: suck because Carson, Because Carson was good I mean like

683
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: the guy, the the guy was the featured guy for Seattle.

684
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: He played very well. We'll see, you know, does Penny

685
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, remain in shape, does he work hard in

686
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: the off season, does he come into camp? Uh motivated

687
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: to take over the top spot under the that chart

688
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: that that will see. But I would hate to see

689
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: Chris Carson lose that spot because he was very good

690
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks in an offense that ran the football

691
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 1: a ton, you know, grantly, this was one of the

692
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,960
Speaker 1: better run blocking offensive lines. You're looking at the you know,

693
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: Football Outsiders metrics. They were a top fifteen actually number

694
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: twelve in terms of run blocking, so more than the

695
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: top half of the league. I mean, King, would you

696
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: think this often stays is run heavy next year as

697
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: it did this year? I mean, they still have Russell Wilson,

698
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: They'll still have Doug Balld with Tyler Lockett had a

699
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: breakout season. Is this still going to be a team

700
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: that runs the ball more than fifty of the time?

701
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 1: Is Brian Schottenhamer still there? Yeah? Is pet Carl still there?

702
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: Gonna run it? Yeah, They're gonna run them. Okay, Look,

703
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 1: I mean they were in the boll fifty six percent

704
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: of the time and to the benefit of the Cowboys.

705
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: Last week they were in the ball more than I thought.

706
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: They have the opportunities running it when it wasn't working.

707
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: That that was. That was I mean, I was I

708
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: was satisfied with the results, but I mean I was

709
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: at a friend's house and I'm like, why do they

710
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: keep running it? Like? Look, okay whatever? That was borderline

711
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: coaching malpractice. It really was. The Seahawks called one pass

712
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: attempts to one UM running back carries basically until Russell

713
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: Wilson had that final drive. Um, They're running backs average

714
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: two point yards per carry. Russell Wilson an averaged eight

715
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: point six yards per tempt. I need the Cowboys. They

716
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: went two point eight this weekend. Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

717
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: You good look at that. Yeah, I know, yes, I mean,

718
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,440
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I just don't see it.

719
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: Maybe it ends up as a committee. I just feel

720
00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: like they're going to give Rashad Penny every opportunity to

721
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: win that job and to be the starter going into

722
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: next year. So we'll we'll see what happens with that.

723
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 1: Uh Darius, guys who we didn't get to see at

724
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: all in the regular season, was hurt in the preseason,

725
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: had a knee injury, missed the entire year. But again,

726
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: I mean, it was all set up this year for

727
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: him to be the starter in Washington. Adrian Peterson took

728
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: over because of circumstances, and look, Peterson was great for

729
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: the first you know, quarter three maybe in first half

730
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: of the year, and then sort of faded down the stretch.

731
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: Partially I think because well, I mean, he's he's just

732
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: taking a lot of lumps throughout his career. I think

733
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: partially because that Washington offensive line became a patchwork of

734
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: itself by the end of the year with injuries and

735
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: what have you. Certainly losing Alex Smith just made that

736
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: whole offense go downhill. But uh, Fabts, I know you

737
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: are big, big, big on Darius guys coming back and

738
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: being a huge playmaker next year. Ye, I mean he Uh.

739
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 1: I texted him actually earlier this morning and was asking

740
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: him about his rehab. He said, it's going awesome and

741
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna spend the offseason training with Peterson in Houston. Now, Uh,

742
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: if you wanna, if you want to talk about a

743
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: running back who came back from a catastrophic knee injury

744
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: and put up number. I mean, he came back from

745
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: a from an A C L reconstruction and rushed for

746
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: over two thousand yards. Like I mean, it was ridiculous.

747
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,200
Speaker 1: So he's getting the support there. And we saw some

748
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 1: glimpses of what Darius can do during the preseason. Yeah,

749
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: I mean the run that he ended up tearing his

750
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: knee up, it was a tremendous run. Peterson is going

751
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: to be a free agent. UM, I would expect Darius

752
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 1: to be the guy in twenty nineteen in an offense

753
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: that's going to lean on the run. Uh. There's a

754
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: lot of question marks right now with the quarterback position

755
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,799
Speaker 1: with Alex Smith. Hopefully he's going to be back, uh

756
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: from that awful, awful injury that he suffered this season. Uh,

757
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: they don't have that true number one wide receiver. This

758
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: is gonna be an offense under Jake Gruden that's gonna

759
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: run the ball just like they did this past season.

760
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 1: And Peterson is a guy who, at thirty three years

761
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: old rush for over a thousand yards. What can Darius

762
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: do in this offense? I think the sky is the limit.

763
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: I just I don't know. I mean, I want to be.

764
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I'm excited about various guys. I

765
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: like his talent. He thinks he's excited about him, But

766
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: I just I look at the offense as a whole,

767
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 1: and I just wonder how much that limits what he cans.

768
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,319
Speaker 1: I'm really concerned for For another reason, UM, report kind

769
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: of came out in mid December that Guys had to

770
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: have three other surgeries on his knee. I was dealing

771
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: with an infection in his knee. And as much as

772
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I hope he comes back and he's the

773
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, the player that we all wanted him to

774
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: be coming out of LSU, the badass that he was. UM. Yeah,

775
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: there's some really big questions about this Washington team. You

776
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 1: mentioned the quarterback situation. Their offensive line has not been

777
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: healthy for two seasons, and now they're another year older. Um,

778
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 1: there is a lot a lot to digest with Darius

779
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: Darius guys over the next seven months. Yeah. So, I mean,

780
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: definitely that's gonna be a thing. I think we all

781
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 1: keep an eye on Um to see what happens. But

782
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, I have high hopes for him. I just

783
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: I hope they can do something up with the offense

784
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: around him as a whole. Royce for Ahman, we thought

785
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: that he was going to be the rookie running back. Well,

786
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 1: I will say this, I was. I was sort of

787
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: hesitant about Royce Freeman. I didn't know Philip Lindsay was coming.

788
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: I poisoned your mind. I didn't know that Philip. I

789
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: didn't know that Philip Lindsay was coming. But I was

790
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: just sort of hesitant about Royce Freeman. But you know what,

791
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: he had some moments. Obviously he was sort of the

792
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: secondary back there, but um, does he get that shot

793
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: or is he going to be stuck behind phil Lindsay

794
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: again this year? I don't Lindsay was awesome. I mean,

795
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: hears per carry. The guy was was an electric playmaker.

796
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: I don't know that that Freeman gets a shot to

797
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: be a feature back and then we're outside of some

798
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,800
Speaker 1: sort of freak injury that keeps that that keeps Lindsay

799
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: out for an extended period of time, just based on

800
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: what we saw and it wasn't something that that happened.

801
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 1: Sort of late in the season. He got more carries

802
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: and more touches, and he earned them as the season

803
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: went on, but all season long, from day one. From

804
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: week one, he was showing flashes that he could end

805
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 1: up being, uh, a pretty damn good running back in

806
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: this league. Maybe it was the inspiration of the number

807
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: thirty in Denver, Terrell Davis, one of the greats, a

808
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer, our pal here at NFL Network. But

809
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: whatever it was, Lindsay showed me that. I mean, I

810
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: would be shocked if he doesn't go into next season

811
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: as the starter. And I would also be shocked if

812
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: Freeman really made a massive dent in his touches next season.

813
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: But weirder things have happened. Yeah, you know, I really

814
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, well, now you know, we know

815
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a new head coach there. I will

816
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: say this, having a defensive head coach maybe means good

817
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: things for the running game. I mean, we saw Matt

818
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: Patricia takeover in Detroit Graham and he was all about,

819
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: let's play defense, let's run the football. Didn't work out

820
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: all that great for the Lions this year, but you know,

821
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 1: Vic Fangio, I would think, you know, hey, let's play defense,

822
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 1: let's run the football. So maybe this means more work

823
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,480
Speaker 1: as a committee for Freeman next year. It's possible, Hey, guys.

824
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: One thing that we we We've been doing this for

825
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 1: a long time. Weird stuff happens. In the end of

826
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 1: all the time, weird stuff happens. I mean, the Eagles

827
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 1: just went into Chicago and Pete prepared like weird stuff happens,

828
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: So anything is possible. Injuries happened. They're unpredictable, but at

829
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: this point, just based on what I saw, it's not like,

830
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, Lindsay's performance was kind of like Alex Collins

831
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: from last year, where you know, he turned it on

832
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 1: in the second half of the season and he had

833
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: some question marks going in. He did this for the

834
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: entire year until he went down with that injury towards

835
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: the end, so he he was electric. He was a

836
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: fun player to watch. So it'd be hard for me

837
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: to think that Royce Freeman ends up being the guy.

838
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: But there's also been seasons where I've really been high

839
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: on a player and he stunk, and then the following

840
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 1: year something happens and he ends up blowing up. So

841
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:38,759
Speaker 1: that could happen with him, and he'll be worth a

842
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: late run flyer for sure. Caitlin Blage, who you know

843
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: at all. It took till the end of the year

844
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: for him to finally get some run. You know, there

845
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: was so much weirdness down there with Adam Gaze and

846
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 1: or Gore and Kenyan Drake and finally Caitlin Blage and Graham.

847
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: This guy was a playmaker at Arizona State. He was

848
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: He made a lot of huge I think he had

849
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 1: a seven touchdown game against Texas Tech actually because Patrick

850
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: Maho just Texas Tech team. If I'm not mistaken, h

851
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: now that you know, now that Adam Gates has gone,

852
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: I would imagine there's going to be more of a

853
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: competition there. Do you is there a chance Klin Blage

854
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: gets gets a look, I have no idea what to

855
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 1: think about the Dolphins. I mean I think that's I

856
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:19,319
Speaker 1: have no idea. I mean you just you go down

857
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 1: this this roster they have, I mean, where are their

858
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,520
Speaker 1: key pieces right now? I mean, Miami, they should, in theory,

859
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: just tear this thing down and just try to rebuild

860
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: it from the ground up. Right Yeah, Well, I mean

861
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: what their backfield? I mean, Gores are free agent, Drake's

862
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: entering a contract year. I kind of have a feeling

863
00:41:35,320 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 1: we'll be looking at the Dolphins is like a full

864
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 1: fade team in fantasy this upcoming season, maybe side of

865
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: because what I mean, they're not going to have a

866
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: h They're not gonna have a quarterback. Tannehill will be

867
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: gone and he's gonna be gone. They've got a basically

868
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: three running backs that are all, you know, nothing. We

869
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen with them. I mean,

870
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: who are their wide receivers? I mean Parker, who knows

871
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:04,800
Speaker 1: what's going on with Yeah, I mean Kenny Stills, a Mandola.

872
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's not a lot to write home about.

873
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of rebuilding they're doing on the offensive.

874
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: They picked up DeVante Parker's fifth year okay in April

875
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: of last year. But yeah, again what I mean, but

876
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: they basically benched Adam essentially benched DeVante park in the

877
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,640
Speaker 1: middle of the season, even know he's healthy. I have

878
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 1: no clue what to think about, man, no idea what

879
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: to do with them right now. And I think you're right.

880
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: They they may be maybe a never Dolphins sort of thing.

881
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: Um James Washington, Now, I think so much of what

882
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: happens with James Washington probably depends on what happens with

883
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown. But as we talked, about on our last podcast,

884
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: the the Honeymoon. Well it's been long over, but now

885
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 1: it's things are bad, Like both sides are just flat

886
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: out just talking trash about each other. Essentially, it's it's

887
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: not a good situation. So in the meantime, maybe this

888
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:55,439
Speaker 1: means James Washington. You know, look when Mike Wallace left,

889
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: that's when we saw Antonio Brown blossom. Right. Uh, we

890
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: know Juju is gonna be the He's going to be productive.

891
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: But maybe Antonio moving out of the way open some

892
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: things up for James Washington. I still can't. I mean

893
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: I guess I could. And a scenario where where AB's

894
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 1: not playing for the Steelers, I don't know, but again,

895
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 1: weird things have happened. Dude. That that's Pittsburgh is going

896
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: to be a place that fantasy owners need to be

897
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 1: really keeping an eye on what goes on there in

898
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: terms of their personnel. With the A B situation and

899
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:32,880
Speaker 1: leave Bell obviously is not going to be back, so

900
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: he'll end up on a team that's gonna utilize him

901
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 1: as a featured runner. But a lot of things could change, right,

902
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean, James Washington suddenly be a guy who is

903
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: a potential breakout candidate Juju Smith Schuster could end up

904
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 1: being a guy who you're taking in the in the

905
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the first round, at the beginning

906
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,360
Speaker 1: of the second round, depending on what happens with a B.

907
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger's value could rise or fall depending on what happens.

908
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: So there's a lot going on there in Pittsburgh, and

909
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,880
Speaker 1: James Washington will be a player who could potentially benefit

910
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: if the Alers in Antonio Brown could not uh, you know,

911
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: get get on the same page and and get along

912
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:10,800
Speaker 1: and reunite next season. Not that they've broken up, but

913
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:13,399
Speaker 1: it looks like it could potentially go that way, which

914
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,160
Speaker 1: would be just odd to me. I mean it would

915
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: be odd. I mean, like, yeah, okay, you know, arguably

916
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: the best running back in the league, that whole situation

917
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 1: goes sour. Now the best wide receiver in the league,

918
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: that situation has gone sour. It's weird. Who knows it

919
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: would be weird to see Antonio Brown in another uniform.

920
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,919
Speaker 1: Ye would be strange. It would be very strange. Forty

921
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: nine uniform might be cool with that. I could watch

922
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 1: it was that? Was it Jerry Rice? Who? Who Jerry Rice?

923
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: So that they should go for it. Hell yeah, why not? Dude? Look,

924
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: if if if a guy like Antonio Brown is out there,

925
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: you should at least make it off. What do you

926
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: have to trade to get in there? Like if you've

927
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: got to give up two ones to get Khalil Mack?

928
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean, is it two ones to get a B?

929
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 1: I mean you would think right, so Um, but at

930
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,479
Speaker 1: least make the phone call. You know, that contract again

931
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: just makes it so I know what I mean. I mean,

932
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers are gonna have to eat if they did

933
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: trade him, they'd have to eat twenty million dollars, which

934
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: is like over That's that's a lot. That's what I mean.

935
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: You just have to figure out how tired they are

936
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: of Antonio Brown. That's it. That's that's what you have

937
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:17,320
Speaker 1: to find out. So Um. Speaking of Antonio's Antonio Callaway

938
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: mentioned him a little bit earlier, and we talked about

939
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: the Browns and Freddie Kitchens and everything there. I mean,

940
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: there were really high hopes for him. You know, obviously

941
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,760
Speaker 1: there were off field issues that that sort of derailed

942
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,840
Speaker 1: him at times this year. But talent wise, I mean,

943
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: this is a guy that people talked about as being

944
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick. Uh did he not if

945
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: he didn't have some of those off field problems when

946
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: he was at Florida. So the talent really isn't an issue.

947
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: Can Freddie Kitchens and this offense figure out a way

948
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: to unlock him next year? Gramming with with Baker there,

949
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 1: you talked about him spreading the football around, but they

950
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: still I think couldn't use one big playmaking receiver, and

951
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: Callaway at least seems to have the talent to be

952
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,320
Speaker 1: that guy. It was nice to see Callaway turn his

953
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: susan around. Earlier in the year. I thought Callaway was

954
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 1: legitimately one of the worst receivers in the NFL, plagued

955
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: by drops played, by running the wrong routes, um, whatever

956
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: the case may be, but then kind of turn it

957
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: on as a little bit later as as Kitchens took over.

958
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,360
Speaker 1: But opportunity wise, it would just come down to what

959
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: the Browns decided to do with their number two and

960
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:18,239
Speaker 1: number three receiver spots behind Landry. Yeah, I think that's

961
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a big key. So you know, this

962
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 1: will be a team to watch, especially in training camp,

963
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: training camp, in the preseason. I think we'll keep an

964
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: eye on the Browns see how things go last one

965
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: Equidymius st. Brown, who I really want. I want him

966
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: and Marquez Valdes scant Link to do great things just

967
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: so we can call them like the Alphabet crew or

968
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,400
Speaker 1: something like that. I mean, because they I think, between

969
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: all of them, they may have I think there's no

970
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,800
Speaker 1: why they're but I was like, I think they have

971
00:46:41,960 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 1: every other letter in the alphabet in their combined names.

972
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: But there's there's no wise, uh anyway, I shouldn't think

973
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: there's a w okay, oh there is never mind anyway.

974
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 1: That's enough of that. But Equitymius st. Brown obviously had

975
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: a good career at Notre Dame. We know Davante Adams

976
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: is going to be the number one wide receiver there,

977
00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 1: but they're still rue for other guys to go out

978
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 1: and and make plays. I mean, as we've seen this

979
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: before that Aaron Rodgers when he is at his had

980
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: his peak, can support multiple wide receivers in this offense.

981
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 1: So there is an opportunity potentially for both MVS and

982
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: e SB to go out there and look, they're not

983
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,320
Speaker 1: both gonna be you know, wide receiver twos or anything

984
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: like that, but one of these guys could end up

985
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: being a nice flex, place a nice depth on your

986
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: on your bench. If this offense can actually pick things

987
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: up next year, yeah, no question about that. And it's

988
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 1: all about Aaron Rodgers because he can turn average players

989
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: into superstars. And you know, we've seen we've seen players

990
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: thriving Green Bay leave and and and really not do

991
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 1: nearly as well. Um I mean Jordy Nelson, although he

992
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: was thirty three years old coming off a bad season

993
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 1: with the Raiders where he was one of the elite

994
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers in fantasy football just two seasons ago, when

995
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,239
Speaker 1: he had Aaron Rodgers chucking him the football. You also

996
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: have to wonder what's going on there with Randall Cobb.

997
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: But and you've totally overlooked Jake Kumero. But but Equinimius

998
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: and Marcus about this scaling, I think he's the guy

999
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: that I'd have ranked a little bit higher heading into

1000
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. But there is certainly some upside with some

1001
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 1: of these young wide receivers because uh, they've got to

1002
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: go throwing on the football, alright. So those are some

1003
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 1: of our sophomores that were keeping an eye on. We'll

1004
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: have plenty to talk about obviously all off season long

1005
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:22,800
Speaker 1: but before we get out of here, a couple of

1006
00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 1: Playoff Challenge Daily Fantasy kind of picks for you. Um,

1007
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: if you haven't gotten in on the Playoff Challenge, is

1008
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:31,120
Speaker 1: not too late, you're kind of behind the eight ball,

1009
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 1: maybe with some other folks who have already started a

1010
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,680
Speaker 1: little bit, but there's a chance to get in. Um.

1011
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,680
Speaker 1: I only started one dude who played last week. And yeah,

1012
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:43,319
Speaker 1: I mean because the trend recently, although this season has

1013
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: been so weird that it's probably gonna change, but it's

1014
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 1: all it's almost always been ones going to the super Bowl,

1015
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 1: right right. You've had the two with the Atlanta a

1016
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: couple of seasons ago. But so I went all Saints,

1017
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 1: and I went all Chiefs, and I went Zeke because

1018
00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 1: you know, well, I went I went heavy Charges because

1019
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: I was feel like there's a wild card team that

1020
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: makes running there somewhere, and so it's kind of nice to,

1021
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, just bank on that wild card team, see

1022
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 1: if you can get those multipliers a little bit. So

1023
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: I went, I went Chargers. Uh, so I meant Phil Rivers,

1024
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, uh you know, Keenan Allen and then the

1025
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: rest of it. I filled in with the Saints so

1026
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, I've got you know, the cameras, the Michael

1027
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,000
Speaker 1: Thomas's Lutz. I got the Saints of Defense because I figured,

1028
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't. I would love to maybe put

1029
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: potentially get those those four times. H if the Chargers

1030
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 1: somehow can you pull the upset in in New England

1031
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,359
Speaker 1: and get through to to the Super Bowl, who knows,

1032
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: uh it could happen. It was worth it. It was

1033
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: worth the risk for me. So yeah, yeah, there's that

1034
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 1: that side of what I used to do years ago

1035
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: before the trend of the the top seeds actually top

1036
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 1: seeds always go everything. Like I like, I really liked

1037
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: the Colts going in. I thought the Colts could potentially

1038
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: end up going to the to the a f C

1039
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: Championship Game, which who knows, they very well might because

1040
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, as good as the Chiefs are.

1041
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,800
Speaker 1: I mean, do you guys ever look at like the

1042
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 1: results of the playoffs when it comes to the Kansas

1043
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 1: City Chiefs not good every single season, including last year

1044
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 1: with Mariota with the crazy throw catch touchdown, all that

1045
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, they almost always disappoint. I mean, this

1046
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 1: is sort of a different team with Patrick Mahomes under Center,

1047
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: and uh, but I wouldn't be surprised if if the

1048
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 1: Colts went into Kansas City in one. But you're looking

1049
00:50:22,640 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 1: for points, you're looking for multipliers, You're looking for that,

1050
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: uh you know that that team that has a good

1051
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 1: shot because of home field advantage or whatever other um

1052
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: specific sort of. That's also why I took the Chargers,

1053
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 1: because they're used to not having home right right, because

1054
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: every every weekend stop up center, half the crowd is

1055
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: like the opposing team. Yeah, and I mean it might

1056
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: the weather might be bad to win in New England

1057
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: this weekend, to which could favor the Patriots. We'll see.

1058
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:48,360
Speaker 1: I think the Charges are eight and one on the

1059
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:51,840
Speaker 1: road this year. And I was which the home exactly.

1060
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,839
Speaker 1: I think somebody made a comment it's like they don't

1061
00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: really have a place to play at homes playing on

1062
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:58,840
Speaker 1: the road. It's all good, So don't worry about and

1063
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: let's best And maybe Patriots fans aren't gonna like this,

1064
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 1: but we all kind of want to see the Patriots

1065
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: getting knocked out. Let's change things up a little bit.

1066
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: I'm not being I'm not about it. I see a

1067
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: new team. I'd want to see a new team in there.

1068
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,240
Speaker 1: Go to the championship game. I mean, I'm not hiding

1069
00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:17,680
Speaker 1: my feelings about that, not even a little bit. No um.

1070
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,719
Speaker 1: And finally, some daily Fantasy picks, some value picks if

1071
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: you're if you are of the daily Fantasy persuasion. I

1072
00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,160
Speaker 1: was looking at Michael Gallup. I mean partially because the

1073
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys had wide receiver apocalypse at the start of

1074
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 1: that game last it was bad. Obviously the Alan Hearns

1075
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: one was really awful. But Cole beasilely got got knocked

1076
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 1: around in that game. I mean at one point, I'm

1077
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: alty Cooper, I think was down for a minute and

1078
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: got up and and you was able to play through it.

1079
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: But uh, that and the fact that you know, look,

1080
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: I still think that the Cowboys will have to throw

1081
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit more if the if the

1082
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 1: Rams offense can do what it does, the Cowboys will

1083
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 1: have to throw the football a little bit more. I

1084
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: like Michael Gallup all year too, So I got Michael

1085
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 1: gaps kind of my my value, my daily value so scared.

1086
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 1: Initially when the Cowboys had one and then it was

1087
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: clear we were coming to l A, I was like, man,

1088
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: I gotta try to get tickets for this game. Now,

1089
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 1: I think I might just stay home. I don't know, man,

1090
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: I might just stay home. I was gonna take my

1091
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: kid marks just like, yeah, I don't know if I

1092
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: would take a kid to the l A Coliseum. I'm like, okay,

1093
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I'm just just stay home. I went to

1094
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: a Rams Cowboys preseason game. It was fun. Um it's

1095
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: it's more rated R than PG thirteen At times, I'm

1096
00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:30,839
Speaker 1: gonna stay I'll stay home and watch the game. I'm

1097
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:33,000
Speaker 1: sure Shadowy League figures are gonna be thrilled to hear

1098
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: me say, yeah, no doubt my. My Daily Value pick

1099
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:38,760
Speaker 1: this week is Dontrelle Inman, who has scored a touchdown

1100
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,479
Speaker 1: in three straight games. He's sort of become the number

1101
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,959
Speaker 1: two wide receiver there in Indianapolis behind t Y Hilton,

1102
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:44,880
Speaker 1: who has been playing banged up for most of the

1103
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,760
Speaker 1: second half of the season. So now you're not playing

1104
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: Inman in the playoff challenge, or maybe you are. I

1105
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: don't know, but that's not a That's not a move

1106
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: that I would make. But if you're talking about Daily

1107
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 1: you know Inman is a guy who with Andrew Luck

1108
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 1: playing as well as he is and the Colts throwing

1109
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: it as much as they are and having success moving

1110
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: the ball through the air in mind suddenly has has

1111
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: some sleeper value. Would you say, you're in the show, folks, everybody,

1112
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm in min on Dentree, good night everybody. That's it. Actually,

1113
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: that is kind of it. Though we are done here,

1114
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: so appreciate you as always. It was a little bit

1115
00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 1: longer because we had all this coaching us to talk about.

1116
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,320
Speaker 1: It was. It's good, it's important. Do you did you

1117
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: give your your daily Marcus? Oh, I'm sorry, skipped over.

1118
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Do you have a daily pick? I do? Actually, Marcus,

1119
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: is you listening? It's nothing personal. He you know, he's

1120
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: just so impressed by all of your knowledge. He just

1121
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, overlooked. No, it's fine. I forgive you, Marcus.

1122
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: M No. I kind of like Ted Gain one of

1123
00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: these daily sites. He might be minimum price and he

1124
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 1: saw eight targets against the Steelers. Evins gave up the

1125
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: eighth most completions of twenty or more yards of the

1126
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,640
Speaker 1: last eight games. It's good little play. Yeah, No, I agree,

1127
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 1: Ted Get always, you know, finds a way, especially in

1128
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: the postseason, have like one big game kind of out

1129
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,160
Speaker 1: of nowhere. So that's ted Gin's game. It's also random revenge. Rando.

1130
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: His random revenge'll just smash the Panthers or smash the many,

1131
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: so many opportunities to have revenge gras too. He's got

1132
00:54:14,280 --> 00:54:16,839
Speaker 1: a lot of chances, all right. That is well, hey,

1133
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,720
Speaker 1: you want to talk about revenge games, who's this Damon

1134
00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: Austin baby revenge. The two thousand and eight season was

1135
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 1: just leading towards the table Tavon Austin revenge game. Yes,

1136
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:31,200
Speaker 1: imagine if he has a good one. The year I

1137
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: caped up for table On Austin, he burned me, so

1138
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,399
Speaker 1: you know what, I remember that. Actually, forget that guy.

1139
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 1: That The only good Fantasy season he had is when

1140
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:41,239
Speaker 1: he rushed for like four hundred or something yard right now,

1141
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: than that, that's it, that's what got like, hey, he

1142
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 1: rushed for like four hundred and he caught like like

1143
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: a thousand plus scrimin. You know, Alan's heard Cole's dealing
