12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 3: away from the big full Fantasy Football weekly shows.

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: Yes, one week from this week. I guess I I

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: was gonna say today, but depends on when you when

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: you hear it. But yeah, next week we start the

16

Speaker 1: long form shows.

17
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: And what year is it? This time? Around three zero

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 3: baby thirtieth anniversary xxxy.

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: Some longtime listeners believe it's our thirty first, but honestly,

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: we can't remember if it started in ninety four ninety five,

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: so we're being conservative with it. It's because they all

22
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: start to blend together when you're that you've been doing

23
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: it that long and you've done it for every year,

24
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: but the first, right, No, I did them all?

25
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 3: No, you did them all? Yeah.

26
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had rotating We had rotating guests, and at

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: the time they didn't the Kaffe didn't trust me at

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, with the with the show in my

29
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: own hands. So the first year we had Dan Cole

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: as as our as our host. He would just basically

31
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: bring us in and out of segments and then I

32
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: would take it from there. Yeah, and with our old crew,

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: you know, the original crew, like John the commissioner Haber

34
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: Myers was on the show back then. I'm trying to

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 1: remember who else, going all the way back to the beginning.

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: I think a little Rick Hamla in the mix back then.

37
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, didn't we do? We did a twenty on the

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 3: twenty fifth anniversary of the show. We brought ball John Yeah, yeah,

39
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 3: John Tuv, Christian Peterson. Yeah, that was fun. Tons, tons

40
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: of tons of great players on the show over the years.

41
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: While we're while we're talking about some of this kind

42
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: of stuff, we should mention the live show we've got

43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: coming up in two weeks August sixteenth, if you're anywhere

44
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: near the Twin Cities Treasure Island Casino, We're having a

45
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: live fantasy football weekly August sixteenth, seven o'clock.

46
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 3: I wish I was gonna be there this year, but

47
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: I will not be near that city. Everybody but you all,

48
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 3: all of our other co hosts will be there.

Speaker 1: myself and hopefully you. It's free Treasure Island again.

51
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,959

52
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: they give you some free slack play and stuff. So

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: I think there's kind of worth to get down there.

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: I should. Yeah, it's pretty fun. Go go throw some

55
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 3: dice or well, I suppose they don't have dice. You

56
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 3: could play some car. Yeah, you don't play some car.

57
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: We got the weird rules here you ken and can't play,

58
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: and I don't even totally understand.

59
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: Go play some blackjack with Brian afterwards. I got that's

60
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 3: that's my game. Yeah. Training camps are underway.

61
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: They're already starting to get reports on various notable news items.

62
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 3: I got ten of them for you. At this stage.

63
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: I always think you have to be careful about not overreacting.

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: That anything, So you know, I'm right, So that maybe

65
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 3: this is the lie Detector.

66
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: Oh, I'd like it like that down Lie Detector episode

67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm gonna give you ten different stories.

68
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 3: Tell me whether or not you're sort.

69
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: Of buying in, you moving any rankings, or you're just

70
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: playing it, playing it chill for right now.

71
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 3: I want to begin here.

72
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Chargers last year's first rounder Quentin Johnston still getting second

73
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: team reps and appears to have been already passed by

74
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: rookie Lad McConkey. And then Josh Palmer, who had been

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: with the team he's working with the first team. And

76
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: then dj Hark, the free agent nobody talking about going

77
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: off the border like wide receiver ninety also running with

78
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: the first team right now. So your thoughts on Quinton Johnston.

79
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: And you know, in one of my Empire leagues, I've

80
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: got Quinton Johnston that I drafted last year and I'm

81
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: basically ready. I'm in the same world too, you know,

82
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: like this is it looks bad right now. And there

83
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: were videos that circulated mid week of him just dropping

84
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: like a seven yard pass right the bread pasket come on.

85
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 3: So everything that comes out of the Chargers on social

86
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 3: media or or like the hardcore Chargers fan sites, yeah,

87
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 3: they're saying that Quentin Johnston is on fire, but that

88
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 3: is a lie. Everyone else is saying that he can't

89
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 3: catch a ball. There was one reporter who said he's

90
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: the worst effing receiver I've ever seen in my life. Wow. Wow,

91
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 3: So I've seen, but I've seen multiple Twitter accounts that

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: are that are following it closer than I am, saying

93
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: that unless his body is completely turned back to face

94
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: the quarterback, he can't catch anything. He can't catch anything deep,

95
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: ye can't catch any shoulder. And so there's plenty of

96
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: video that backs that up. If you do a quick

97
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: Quenton Johnston video search on x there's more positive reports

98
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 3: and videos from camp about seventh round rookie wide receiver

99
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,279
Speaker 3: Brendan Rice, who, by the way, is the son of

100
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 3: Jerry Rice.

101
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: Oh, I guess I did not know that that was

102
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: the case, so I should have a little there's a

103
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: little pedigree there. But right now the way that things

104
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: like sound, it sounds like Brendan Rice is creeping above

105
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: Quenton Johnston on the depth chart too. So I have

106
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: Johnson in a few dynasty leagues. I'm hoping that he

107
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: turns it around, but I think he's undraftable in redraft

108
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: leagues and I'd probably be bailing in most of my

109
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: dynasty shares too. All right, so the lie detector here

110
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 1: is true.

111
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's true. It's true. Okay, it's true because the

112
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 3: Chargers aren't putting out this information.

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: Right right, here's the ADP for the Chargers receivers. Yeah,

114
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: Palmer's going first wide receiver thirty one. That seems pretty

115
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: high for a guy who's never been able to really

116
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: put it all together. And I don't mind Palmer. A

117
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, I was touting him in the

118
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: preseason as a sleeper and everyone came together. Lad McConkie

119
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: ADP wide receiver forty three. Yeah, couldn't he just vault

120
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: right to the top of this productive receiver at Georgia

121
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: so slippery I'm open.

122
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 3: I'm gonna note this on some of the other ones.

123
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: Like an average wide receiver Room gets about two hundred

124
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 3: receptions per year. That's a lot of wide receiver receptions there.

125
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: There might be it might be a little bit lower

126
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles, right, yes, just because yeah, but they

127
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: have justin air Bear there, and air Bear ain't scared,

128
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 3: no God. So I think that Lad McConkie, Josh Palmer,

129
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 3: even DJ Chark, they're going to catch some balls. This year.

130
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: They're not going to be in a lot of people's

131
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: lineups every week, but one one definitely could emerge.

132
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: My money would be somebody's going to right, I mean,

133
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, they're going to run a lot, maybe

134
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: the most in the league. Yeah, but still somebody's going

135
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: to come out of this is fantasy viable. That's the

136
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: week out. Let's go to Green Bay. Romeo Dobbs getting

137
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: praised from coaches and teammates. Offensive coordinator Adam Stenovich said

138
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: Monday that Dobbs has super strong hands and is tremendous

139
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: at running routes. A few days ago, you may have

140
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: seen this, Hackers cornerback jay Or Alexander said Dobbs is

141
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: a second favorite receiver in the league, after only Devonte Adams. Wow,

142
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: and you know, you don't often see teammates put a

143
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: pecking order on their other teammates, you know.

144
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: Well, and a former teammate at that, Well.

145
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: Sure, yes, I mean, so he knows Adams. That's fine,

146
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: you know, Okay, I understand why you go to Adams

147
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: going to the Hall of Fame.

148
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: Sure, so no problem with that.

149
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: But the fact that he identified Dobbs out of this

150
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: four man conundrum, that fantasy players have at wide receiver.

151
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: Does that carry a lot of weight for you or

152
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: any weight for you?

153
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 3: And the envelope says that is a lie. That is

154
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 3: a lie, okay, because I think they're going to do

155
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 3: the same thing with Jaden Reid, with Dantavian Wicks and

156
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 3: with Christian Watson in subsequent weeks coming up. You like Dobbs.

157
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: I like Dobbs. I drafted him in the Scott Fish Bowl.

158
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 3: I like him a lot. The problem is everyone likes

159
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: Jayden Reid too, a lot of people like Dantavian Wicks,

160
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 3: and even quite a few people still like Christian Watson.

161
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: And all three of those names finished with more PPR

162
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 3: points per game in the last half of the season

163
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: for the Packers than Dobbs did. He was number four

164
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 3: in that pecking order in fact, from Week five on.

165
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: So that's thirteen games.

166
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a healthy sample size and all the good games.

167
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 1: Yet all the good games Jordan Love had.

168
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 3: Dobbs topped four receptions in a game only once, and

169
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: he had more than forty yards in a game only

170
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: three times. You're so dependent on him getting a touchdown

171
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 3: that it doesn't make any sense for me to get

172
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: any of these wide receivers on the Packers because Dobbs

173
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: led the team in PPR points in five games last season,

174
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 3: Read seven times, Watson three times, Wis twice, and I

175
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 3: think Wix is probably gonna pop up a little bit

176
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: more this year. If it's me, I'd like to draft

177
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 3: Jordan Love and just just look with it.

178
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: That's kind of what That's what I've been saying too.

179
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: Although it's a little spineless, I like it. It's a

180
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: little spineless, but it is true.

181
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: It can be spineless. It's because they have four good

182
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: wide receivers. It's not because Dobbs is worse than any

183
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: of them. It's because they have four really quality wide

184
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 3: receivers on roster. I like that.

185
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: And I think the angle on these, on all of

186
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: these receivers for Green Bay is I.

187
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 3: Want him in best ball right.

188
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about identifying pre identifying the

189
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: games when one of them is gonna go off. So

190
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: that's that's the angle for me. Like Guillotine can't do Dobbs, Read, Wix,

191
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: Watson just way too much downside on a game to

192
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: game basis because there's just there's too many good receivers.

193
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: So once you get three catches for thirty five yards,

194
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: you're sunk.

195
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's going to really hurt your chances.

196
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 3: And that's very possible.

197
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: All right, So we've got a truth, we've got a lie.

198
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 3: Let's go to Baltimore.

199
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,320
Speaker 1: Rashad Bateman getting tons of praise from John Harbaugh and

200
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:23,719
Speaker 1: Baltimore Beat writers. Early in the week, he made an

201
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: acrobatic shoelace catch that wowed observers.

202
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 3: Wow.

203
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: Harbaugh says that Bateman is expected to be a top

204
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: receiver in the league.

205
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: Quote, top receiver in the.

206
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: League currently going off the board it wide receiver seventy nine.

207
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: Is this just camp talk? Survey says, Yeah, that's just

208
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 3: can't talk. Okay, what does anybody really expect Rashad Bateman

209
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 3: to be on this team? Is he the top wide

210
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: receiver option on this team? No, say Flowers? Is he

211
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 3: the second receiving option on this team? No? Mark Andrews

212
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 3: is in there, right? He could be third in the

213
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: pecking order at best on a team that just signed

214
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry and is about to run the ball down

215
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 3: the throat of everybody all year long. And by the way,

216
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: if you can't make acrobatic shoelace catches in practice without pads,

217
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: you probably shouldn't be in the NFL at all.

218
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: Well, apparently Bateman hadn't been doing that in the past.

219
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks he looks better than at any previous time.

220
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: Well, and also, if he's making acrobatic catches, doesn't that

221
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: say more about Lamar Jackson's accuracy.

222
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: Well, some of those balls are probably not coming from

223
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, but maybe and I here's the thing. Wide

224
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: receiver seventy nine.

225
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, that's where he is expected to be a

226
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: top receiver in the league. That's that's insanity. Let's move

227
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: to New England.

228
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: A thor Nystrom favorite, Javon Baker has been a standout

229
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: in camp with highlight reel plays. Nobody mentioning athletic shoelace catches.

230
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 3: No just highlight just highlight reel.

231
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: He could start, He could start early in the season,

232
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: needing only to beat out Jalen Rager, Taekwon Thornton, and

233
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: the undead remains of Juju Smith Schuster. The second rounder

234
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Polk is garnered praise too, but not at the

235
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: same level as Baker and Thoris set up.

236
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 3: Thoris said at least twice.

237
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 1: In our offseason shows he thinks he thinks Baker is

238
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: going to be better than Polk. Sure, his ADP is

239
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver eighty eight.

240
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 3: That's slow.

241
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: All right, what's the light detector say on this one

242
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: for Javon Baker?

243
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 3: Well, you failed to mention Kendrick Bourne and de Mario Douglas,

244
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: who are well, I'm assuming their top two. So this

245
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 3: is receiver to three. That's right, Nott wide receiver one.

246
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: So I think this one's interesting and a little sneaky.

247
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 3: All those other names that you read are retreads of retreads.

248
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: I mean, these guys have been on their third fourth

249
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: team in the league. It's feasible that Baker could steal

250
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: a lot of snaps from those vets really quickly, or

251
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 3: you know, Juju could get cut. And I mean it's

252
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 3: not outlandish to think Jalen Rager will be cut from

253
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 3: another team. In the NFL, the Pats managed about ten

254
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: receptions per game to the wide receiver position last year.

255
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: It was one of the lowest marks in the league. Wow,

256
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: that's terrible, But that was Mac Jones and Bailey Zappi

257
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 3: and Bill Belichick's weird offense. Uh. Even if it's Jacoby

258
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 3: Brissett for most of the year, or we see some

259
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 3: Drake May or Joe Milton who ever evidently is outperforming

260
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 3: Drake May in camp right now.

261
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: That's but then Drake May had a much better day

262
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: on Wednesday and give you know, yeah, you don't know.

263
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 3: You think they have to pass a little bit more

264
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 3: than ten times two receivers receivers per game, so I

265
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 3: think that they're nine times, no more more more more

266
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 3: than nine times and more than ten times. Yeah, so

267
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: don't worry. I got it nine times for you. Okay,

268
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: I got one fire fantastic, But yeah, I think that

269
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: I think that there is some truth to this one

270
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 3: on a rookie popping up and maybe stealing some reps

271
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 3: on a third team scenario.

272
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: Thor loves Javon Baker's big play ability and the and

273
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: him with the ball in his hands young after catch

274
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 1: just sick.

275
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: Now.

276
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 1: He he transferred. He started at Alabama, then he moved

277
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 1: to Central Florida where he just dominated Slapp.

278
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: He's there, so.

279
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna be, you know, I think there is

280
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: a nice opportunity. Why'd receive for eighty eight?

281
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: Okay?

282
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, again at that stage sure, last.

283
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: Pick in your draft, right, I'll these are the kind

284
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 3: I mean Thor uncovered Puka Nakula last year. Yes, he

285
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 3: did in this kind of realm. And I don't think

286
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 3: Thor was promising.

287
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: He did not promise a historic rookie season.

288
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: Yes, but but obviously, like opportunity was there for Puka,

289
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: the talent is there. I think we're in kind of

290
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 3: the same situation here, staying in New England.

291
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: Ramandre Stevenson, I'm back on board, baby. Oh wait, sorry,

292
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: the truth the truth the light detector was true on

293
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: Javon Baby true. Okay, so we've got two truths and

294
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: two lives. Ramandre Stevenson says that his new offensive corner

295
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: alex Van Pelts outside zone blocking scheme is perfect for him.

296
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: Here's the quote from Stevenson. Outside zone you see everything

297
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 1: a lot better. The old line still has to work very,

298
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: very hard, and you have to be on your tracks.

299
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: But it's kind of you hit what you see, you

300
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: make your cut and when you think you're ready, it's

301
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: ultimately up to you. So Matt, it's up to you.

302
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: Is the does a light detector say this is true

303
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: or false? For this new zone blocking scheme that may

304
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: be a perfect fit for Remandre Stevenson.

305
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 3: I mean, first off, it's exciting for both of us,

306
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: who are both big Remandre fans. Over the last few years,

307
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: we've been on the bandwagon to hear things may improving.

308
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: I've already invested in him the end of the fifth

309
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: round in scott Fish Bowl in that draft beautiful spot.

310
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: I like him there, and he could be an absolute

311
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: belcow this year with Antonio Gibson serving as the passing

312
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: down guy being the Antonio Gibson.

313
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: Role, right, and Jamichael Hasty's no threat.

314
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. The problem is for me, when an offensive line

315
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 3: is given a completely new scheme and completely new tactics,

316
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 3: it usually takes a little time to get that right. Yeah,

317
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 3: and the Patriots already have Pro Football focuses twenty eighth

318
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: ranked offensive line. So while it's great that Remandre Stevenson

319
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: is super positive about this, he's got to be lying

320
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: to us because he's got to know I don't have

321
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: this kind of offensive line and they're trying to change things.

322
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 3: And I'm trying to tow the company line here and

323
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 3: say I love it. It's great, but I'm a little

324
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: nervous here that things might not go as well as

325
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: he's he's kind of alluding to here, I want to believe.

326
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 3: I want to believe to current ADP is running back nineteen. Yeah,

327
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: I mean that's the greatest spot.

328
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: Do the opposite this perfect, do the opposite territory. You've

329
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: gone first four rounds. You haven't done any running backs.

330
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: I love having Remondre as my top running back. There

331
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: you raise a great point. New blocking schemes take time

332
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,440
Speaker 1: to gel, and it could be a rough first month

333
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: for Romandre and warning guillotine League people, that could be

334
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: something that gets you cut in the first month.

335
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 3: But remember Ramondre's.

336
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: One year removed from being a top ten fantasy runner,

337
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: and last year, early in the year he struggled. The

338
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: offensive was terrible, nobody respected the passing game. Somebody's just

339
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: playing to stop Ormandri. But he's still in weeks nine

340
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: through thirteen. There was this window of like a month

341
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 1: where he was really good and then he suffered a

342
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: heikel spring the season.

343
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: Was over well, and Zeke didn't fare too badly in

344
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: that offense last year either, So there's promise here. But

345
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 3: new blocking scheme, yeah, weird offensive line already. If the

346
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: not sure, I'm feeling it.

347
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: If the totality of this Patriots offense is going to

348
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: generate twelve rushing touchdowns, which is very low. This ranked

349
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: them like twenty eighth or something. Right, Romander's getting ten

350
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: to the twelve correct, So you know, I think he's

351
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: sitting on a double digit touchdown season.

352
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 3: Yep. I'd like to have him for the home stretch

353
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 3: in most leagues. If if like we think it might

354
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 3: be a little bit of a slow start for him,

355
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 3: He's a perfect guy to try to acquire the end

356
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 3: of September. Let's take a break.

357
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:22,000

372
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 3: percent off or something else. Somethinglong that line. That ballpark.

373
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, fantastic. All right, let's go to Chicago. DJ Moore

374
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: signed that massive, four year, one hundred and ten million

375
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: dollar extension. I just want to talk about the dynasty

376
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: and Empire implications for just a minute. Okay, so longer,

377
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: longer term and by the way, for those that don't know,

378
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: since we got a minute, Empire leagues so much fun.

379
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 1: I think it's the best way to play dynasty. The

380
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 1: premise goes like this, it's a dynasty league, so you

381
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 1: retain your entire retain your entire roster year to year,

382
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: and instead of paying out all the funds at the

383
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: end of one year, instead you only pay out half.

384
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: The other half goes into a rolling pot waiting for

385
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: somebody to win back to back years, and then the

386
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: league folds.

387
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 3: It's over.

388
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: That person collects all the money and the league's over.

389
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,880
Speaker 1: I love this because fantasy leagues don't have a don't

390
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: ever have an end. Yeah, there's no true champion, there's

391
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: just the most recent champion. Empire leagues give you a

392
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: championship and man, you know when you win it, and

393
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 1: the whole.

394
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 3: Rest of the league.

395
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: When you win one year, the whole less rust legal

396
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: next year is on you. You know, you are the

397
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: villain and that's awesome. Yeah, and I love that. And

398
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: then when you even if you if you don't win,

399
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: everybody's got.

400
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 3: Something gun for.

401
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: We're all gunn into takedown Matt to make sure Matt

402
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: doesn't win two back to back years.

403
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: One in our long running one. Christian Peterson is currently

404
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 3: the champion in that one. And uh, it's over ten

405
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 3: grand in the Empire Pot this year.

406
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: And poor Christian who has won three times in the

407
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: last five years, but he's alternated it's every other year.

408
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 3: Yep. Yeah, he's got he's got a tough roster this year.

409
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 3: So you kind of have to prop up some other

410
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 3: teams to beat that chime as well to help Tope. Oh,

411
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 3: we never do that though.

412
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: Nobody's like, oh, you know, I got to prop up

413
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: some I gotta improve, I gotta make a bad trade,

414
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: I do you do You've made bad trade?

415
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 3: No, I've made I've made trades that help teams eliminate

416
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 3: the current champ. It doesn't necessarily have to be a

417
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 3: bad trade, but you got it. You gotta send good,

418
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 3: good players out to and to the the current contenders

419
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 3: and get some good draft picks back.

420
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: So if you think Caleb Williams is the quarterback of

421
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 1: the future for Chicago this you know, the re signing

422
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,439
Speaker 1: of DJ Moore extension is great news. I mean that

423
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: puts him on the team. He's on the team, signed

424
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: through twenty twenty nine. Yeah, now, and I don't know,

425
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes the final years of these things are,

426
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, not real years. But still, I mean that's

427
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: as a long time.

428
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 3: There was over eighty million dollars and guaranteed money too,

429
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 3: so it was It's a pretty big deal. Maybe it's

430
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 3: just me, but I've always kind of been a DJ

431
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 3: more doubter. I don't know why. He did score nine

432
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 3: times last year times nine and had Yeah, and it

433
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 3: was his quarterback justin fields in that sense, had ninety

434
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 3: six catches and over thirteen hundred yards. But he was

435
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 3: the only receiver in town last year. The Bears only

436
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 3: had one hundred and fifty eight wide receiver receptions last

437
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 3: year and DJ Moore got ninety six of them, So

438
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 3: more crowded.

439
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: Now, obviously you'rean and Allen Roma Dunsay exactly know that

440
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 1: how many targets are going to go to DJ Moore.

441
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,479
Speaker 3: Well, and let's break that down. Let's say Caleb Williams

442
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 3: is much better, yeah, and as probable as a passer,

443
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: and we bump that Bears wide receiver catch total up

444
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 3: to two hundred and ten, which is a little bit

445
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 3: above average. That's so fifty two more receptions to wide receivers.

446
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 3: If you're going to believe that DJ Moore will get

447
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: ninety six receptions again, that would leave one hundred and

448
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 3: fourteen for the other ones. In the last seven seasons

449
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 3: where Keenan Allen has played thirteen or more games, he's

450
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: had at least ninety seven receptions in every game in

451
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 3: every season. Sorry, yep, So does that leave twenty one

452
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 3: receptions for Romo Odounza and the rest of the wide receivers.

453
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: It it's got to be more of a split. I

454
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: can't see a scenario where DJ Moore is far and

455
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 3: away the receptions leader on this team over Keenan Allen

456
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 3: and Romo Donsey. I think will be third in the

457
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: pecking order. But he's not getting twenty receptions this year.

458
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna get six seventy. Yeah, probably, So Dunes might

459
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: be great.

460
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: Keenan Allen could be.

461
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: The odd man out. I mean, why what a huge,

462
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: very variance. Yeah, there is potentially coming for Keenan Allen.

463
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: It could be that in his whatever eleventh season, uh,

464
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 1: that Keenan Allen is basically cooked and that he's going

465
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: to drop Roman Dunesday's going to pass him in terms

466
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: of you know, in just in terms of the focal

467
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: point of the offense, and that Keenan Allen just doesn't

468
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: get the ball lot or he's just a vacuum who

469
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: brings in everything the rookie received. He's always gonna be

470
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: in the right spot, he's gonna catch everything that goes

471
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: to him.

472
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 3: Usually plays from the slot often.

473
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 1: And that he could end up vacuuming up ninety receptions

474
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be surprised.

475
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it it's a little tough for me. I know,

476
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 3: DJ Moore, where's he going in in ADP right now?

477
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,919
Speaker 3: It's like twenty wide receiver twenty Okay, I thought it

478
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 3: was higher than that. But yeah, there's no truth or

479
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 3: lie here because it's just we're saying that he signed

480
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 3: an extension, correct, So that's the truth that he did sign. Okay, Well,

481
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 3: we'll take truth on this. That brings us to three

482
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: truths and three lives. So but I'm a little hesitant

483
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 3: to think that he can repeat the numbers that he

484
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 3: had from last year. Being the only showing down. Let's

485
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 3: go to Carolina.

486
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders getting a ton of first team looks in

487
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: Carolina m H. Now, as you know, rookie Jonathan Brook's

488
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: fourth rounder is rehabbing from an ACL injury that goes

489
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: back to November of last year's He is not expected

490
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: to be ready at the start of the season, and

491
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: he's not going to be a factor here. Miles Sanders

492
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: potentially could be your opening day starter again.

493
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 3: This year like he was last year. But last year

494
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:45,679
Speaker 3: he was terrible.

495
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: He averaged three point three yards per carry, granted running

496
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: behind a bad offensive line that did get better in

497
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: the offseason, and ultimately Sanders lost his job to the

498
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: very pedestrian Chewba Hubbard, who was much better than Miles he.

499
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 3: Was better, at least somewhat better. Yeah, so if he's

500
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 3: if he's very pedestrian and much better than Miles Sanders,

501
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: what does that make Miles Sanders? He had one touchdown

502
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 3: last year? Oh, what a disaster one. And I think

503
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 3: that most people coming into that season thought, hey, rookie quarterback,

504
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: they're gonna just hand Miles Sanders the ball ton. He's

505
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 3: gonna have ye close to three fifty four hundred touches.

506
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 3: Maybe he could just be an absolute belkow.

507
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: And they signed him to that big deal he's like

508
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: twenty four million or something, and then he was just horrible.

509
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was just bad.

510
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: So and by the way, Shure mentioned one you removed

511
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: from thirteen hundred yards and eleven touchdowns with Philadelphia exactly.

512
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 3: So doesn't it seem like maybe he's getting first team

513
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: looks to see if a he still has some value

514
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 3: when playing with the starters, because he'd probably look like

515
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 3: absolute trash behind the second or third stringers. It could

516
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: be or be to maybe feature him as some sort

517
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 3: of trade chips so they can get out of paying

518
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 3: him four million dollars.

519
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: Maybe his deal is guaranteed for four million, So I

520
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: don't think anybody trade anything for him.

521
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 3: There's got to be a couple of teams out there

522
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 3: that are running back needy in some way. Maybe it's

523
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 3: just a seventh round pick swap kind of a thing. Yeah,

524
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: and just to get out of the four million dollars.

525
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: But this has got to be a lie. There's no

526
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 3: way that they think that Miles Sanders is going to

527
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 3: be the answer running back for the Panthers.

528
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: So we're taking a we're gonna lie. Yeah, lie, detector says,

529
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: lie in Miles Sanders next Minnesota. JJ McCarthy is look

530
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: good in early training camp. To me, the Reds are

531
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: a little slow, but the arm talent to me looks good.

532
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 3: So am I saying if you're lying or telling the truth?

533
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: Almost universally the repoorts you guys know me it's all lies.

534
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 3: Is that he's looked good in training camp.

535
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think his reads are slow, but he's showing

536
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: arm talent. Sam Donald's continuing to get almost all the

537
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: first team reps, but Kevin O'Connell says that they'll get

538
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: they'll start working JJ into more first team reps later.

539
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: So true or false? Do you think that McCarthy's look

540
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 1: good enough? Here to change the overwhelming thinking, which is

541
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: that Sam Donald's gonna have a long runway and they

542
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: do not want to start JJ McCarthy.

543
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 3: I guess that's a lie. I think Sam Donald's still

544
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 3: gonna start. I think Donald will almost certainly start the

545
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 3: year under center. But I think that he needs to

546
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: go at least two and three or three and two

547
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: in those first five games to keep the job after

548
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: the Week six by which means he'd need to beat

549
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 3: the Giants, Niners, Texans, Packers, and Jets. That Jets game

550
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 3: is in London. He'd have to win that Jets game.

551
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 3: So I think he needs to win the Giants and

552
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 3: the Jets games in order to hold the job. Then

553
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 3: they come back after a bye. If he survives through

554
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 3: the bye, he'll almost certainly get the next two games

555
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: because Week seven is against Detroit and then they play

556
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 3: immediately Thursday night in Week eight, so they won't install

557
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 3: quarterback in a short week.

558
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: So it'll either happen at the bye or well after it.

559
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 3: Yes, it'll I think it'll either happen after the bye

560
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 3: or after the Week eight game on Thursday night against.

561
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: Them, we'd have ten days to ramp up.

562
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 3: YEP. So Kevin O'Connell has said they'll know when it's

563
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 3: time to start McCarthy. If they're one and four under Donald,

564
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 3: it will be time.

565
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: I don't know the wins and losses are going to

566
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: be as important as you you think. I believe they're

567
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: really taking a long term view with a twenty one

568
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: year old that says we're not putting him in the

569
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 1: game until he's ready. Even if Donald's bad, I think

570
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: they could go to Nick Mullins. If JJ's not ready

571
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: and Sam's bad, it could be bombs away Nick Mullins,

572
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: just like it was in the second half of last year.

573
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: And you know, let Mullins throw for four hundred yards

574
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: one game and then four interceptions the next game.

575
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: I think the thing is, and this is coming from

576
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: a Viking fan, and I know you're a Viking fan

577
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 3: as well, charged I think their defense is going to

578
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: be kind of sneaky good. And I think if the

579
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 3: defense is holding up their end of the bargain and

580
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 3: they're holding some of these high end opponents to seventeen

581
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 3: or twenty points a game, yeah, and Donald in the

582
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: offense is just floundering and they can't get JJ going,

583
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: and Aaron Jones, isn't isn't cutting it enough. I think

584
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 3: that they're going to try to make a change, especially

585
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: if the if Brian flores his defense looks like it's

586
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 3: holding up there end of the bargain and it looks

587
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 3: like it's an offensive problem, They're going to make a

588
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 3: switch at quarterback.

589
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: All Right, You and I see it a little bit differently,

590
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: but I think we both The central premise of our

591
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 1: lie detector is JJ McCarthy's look good in training camp.

592
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: I think that's mostly true. I think I think that

593
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 3: part's true. I think I think Donald starts.

594
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: Let's go to Arizona. Rookie running back Trey Benton getting

595
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: third team reps behind James Connor and Amari Day Mercado charge.

596
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: This is called hazing, and Arizona is one of the

597
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 3: forty four states where hazing is illegal. Illegal, Okay. Hazing

598
00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 3: has three components.

599
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: By the way, I didn't know it's an official yep.

600
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 3: It's in a group. It involves humiliating, degrading, or endangering behavior,

601
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 3: and it happens regardless of consent. And Trey Benson is

602
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: on the team, he's not consenting to running the third teamers,

603
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 3: which is humiliating and dangerous. Yes, so this is hazing,

604
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 3: This is a lie. There's no way Imari de Marcado

605
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 3: is going to hold off Trey Benson here from at

606
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 3: least being the second option out of the backfield. I

607
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 3: do think James Connor probably still gets the bulk of

608
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 3: the running this year, but particularly early. I think Trey

609
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 3: Benson as as the year wears on and James Connor

610
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 3: has quite a bit of an injury history. He does

611
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 3: if if Trey Benson is available on your waiver wire

612
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 3: and James Connor goes down, that's gonna be one of

613
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 3: those situations where people are spending sixty seventy percent of

614
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 3: their fab to get.

615
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: I love Trey Benson in college. I felt like he

616
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: had on a very weak rookie class, and we've talked

617
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: about this on our rookie shows in the past. This offseason,

618
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: I thought Trey Benson looks like he's the best built

619
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: for fantasy success inside runner, goal line guy. He's got

620
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 1: a lot of wiggle and some bursts, and there's a

621
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: lot to like about Trey Benson. But James Connor ran

622
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 1: well last year. Just the reality is he played well

623
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: and he's going to start the season. Coaches love to

624
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 1: go as sure things and guys that aren't going to

625
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: mess up pass protection and other things. So James Connor is.

626
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 3: Going to be the guy. I hope you're right that

627
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 3: this is a lie.

628
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: On We're not out there scrapping for a Mari de

629
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: Mercado after week one when he surprises us with twelve touches.

630
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: No, I'll be disappointed. Yeah, all right, last one. Yeah.

631
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zach Robinson said Tuesday that Bejon

632
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: Robinson's backfield mate Tyler al Jeer, will have quote a

633
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: big role and be leaned on at certain points during

634
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: the season, certain points like if that's like one game, fine,

635
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: might worry is certain points of the season might be

636
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: like the second, third, and fourth quarters of games.

637
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 3: I don't know.

638
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean this is this thing may be much more

639
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 1: of a shared backfield than we want to think. Do

640
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: you believe this is a truth or a lie?

641
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 3: Coach talk? Let's start with Tyler Algier is a good

642
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: running back. He's not bad. He's he's a good running back,

643
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 3: and I think he will have a pretty nice role

644
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 3: this year. I don't think Zach Robinson's lying. I think

645
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: that's the truth. It's going to paint a lot of

646
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: fantasy owners who are drafting Bijeon in the first round yep.

647
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 3: But there's also saying that is we use it in

648
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 3: sports all the time. Rest is a weapon. Putting Bijon

649
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 3: on four hundred carries or four hundred touches is not

650
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 3: a good way, and that's not to do anything four hundred.

651
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: If the Falcons want to be title contenders, and it

652
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 3: seemed like they might, they'll have to feature Algier some

653
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 3: of the time, and they're gonna have to pass more

654
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: than the nineteen times per game pass attempt average. On average,

655
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 3: I mean, Desmond Ritter was pretty bad, but I think Bijeon,

656
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 3: who is a better pass catcher, is born there specifically.

657
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: But Algier had two hundred four touches last year and

658
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 3: Bijon had two hundred and seventy two. That's painfully close

659
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 3: to painfully close, yes, And and really it was Bijon

660
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 3: taking the lead on receptions. It was like sixty five

661
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 3: to seventeen receptions. So I think people want to believe

662
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: that Bijon's numbers will jump significantly here, but Algier might

663
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 3: see more work running between the tackles than people want

664
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: to admit. And Bijon might be the second and third

665
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 3: down guy, but Algier might be the guy who's in

666
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 3: during first downs where they want to go five yards

667
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 3: in a cloud of dust up the middle.

668
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get the feeling it's going to be more

669
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: frustrating than we want it to be so far heading

670
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: into the season where I still have most of my

671
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: drafts to come. Yep, I have zero rosters with Bijon Robinson. Yeah,

672
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 1: it's for where he has to where you have to

673
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: go to take him, like pick five. That's to me,

674
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: that's just it's too early for as the settle his

675
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:01,400
Speaker 1: offense is.

676
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 3: And and and I thought about looking this up, but

677
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 3: I didn't. But I was trying to remember a great

678
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 3: receiving threat in a Kirk Cousins offense. Running back, running back. Yeah,

679
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 3: it doesn't seem like it's been overwhelming. And he's got

680
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 3: weapons out there. Drake London and Kyle Pitt's not bad options, right,

681
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 3: Darnel Mooney and uh oh, I'm spacing on the the

682
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 3: other guy road kill Moore, Ron del Moore. Yes, it'll

683
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: kill your Gullotem team. I can tell you that. Yeah,

684
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,320
Speaker 3: I mean those guys aren't bad second and third options

685
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 3: at the wide receiver position. So I think I think

686
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: Cousins is putting the ball downfield a little more, which

687
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 3: should open space for both of the runners.

688
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: Now, the other side of it is Desmon Riders horrible.

689
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: And you know, if Kirk Cousins plays anything like he

690
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: played last year when he went down, he was leading

691
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: the NFL in passing yards, this Atlanta offense could just

692
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: explode into a top five offense.

693
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 3: Robinson might be, could be a juggernaut. It might be.

694
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 3: We'll find out.

695
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: Thanks Matt, tons of fun we get to watch watching

696
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: real football guys and pads. Yeah got you know, well

697
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: quasi reel the preseason games. I mean they never meant

698
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 1: a lot before. No, now they're even Now they're even worse,

699
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: you know, all thanks to Sean McVeigh. McVeigh proved you

700
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: don't have to play your starters at all in the

701
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,320
Speaker 1: preseason and they can just roll right into the regular

702
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: season and be just fine.

703
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: Well. I think one of the things that has come

704
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 3: out of that, though, is you kind of get the

705
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 3: in depth look at the inner squad scrimmages, Like I

706
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 3: know the Vikings are going to Cleveland to play the

707
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 3: Browns and some scrimmages before their preseason matches.

708
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: Every I think I think every team is now scrimmaging.

709
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, at least one for business, it is, And that

710
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 3: way you can control the reps a little bit more.

711
00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 3: Your quarterback doesn't have to get hits on them, that

712
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: kind of thing. But I think we can learn a

713
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 3: lot from kind of seeing the video on Twitter slash

714
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 3: x about what people are doing in those in those

715
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 3: inner squad scrimmages. I think that those are probably more

716
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 3: important right now than any preseason action that we're gonna

717
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 3: find from baby.

718
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 1: So maybe so all.

719
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 3: Sounds sad, you know, it's just the preseas. I was

720
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 3: always preseason defender.

721
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was like, you know, okay, sure, I know

722
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: the elitists just you know, all tune into the regular season,

723
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: and you know, but I love football, and you would

724
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: get to see your starters would play in the first

725
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: preseason game would play like a quarter, and then the

726
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: second preseason game like two quarters, and then the dress

727
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: rehearsal the third preseason one was like three quarters, and

728
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:32,920
Speaker 1: then they all took the fourth one off, and I'm like,

729
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: fine that you know that, I got long looks at

730
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,959
Speaker 1: actual starters, and you could you could glean some things

731
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: from that.

732
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 3: We can't glean anymore.

733
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 1: It's very hard to glean. No, we're in a total,

734
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,839
Speaker 1: a glean free zone. Now that's the season. And every

735
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: you know who loves to glean. Everybody, everybody, especially the NFL,

736
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: has they've taken our glean.

737
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,880
Speaker 3: It's it's weird that you've got a tattoo that just

738
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 3: says glean across your chest.

739
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,919
Speaker 1: Yes for just and now now I got to cross

740
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: it out.

741
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 3: It's also also weird that you're not where a shirt

742
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 3: right now. Peculiar, but I got to show off my tattoo.

743
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, thank you, Matt. This has been a

744
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: ton of fun. I appreciate listening everybody. Guillotine Leagues coming

745
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: online for this season really really soon, maybe by the

746
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: time you hear this. I don't have an exact date,

747
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:16,919
Speaker 1: but it's coming real soon.

748
