1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, Fantasy freaks and giegs. What is up? It's

2
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Live Podcast. James co here alongside Adam Rank, MG,

3
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant is in the house, and the whiz kid

4
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin, Alex Gelhar actually behind the glass todayn a

5
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: little I'm a little thrown off by it. Not gonna

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: lie to you. Yeah, well it happened. Uh once the

7
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: season hits and we're doing this at odd hours of

8
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: the day and resources are stretched thin across all of

9
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: NFL media, dare they? I was informed by Shadowy League

10
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: Figures that I would not only have to participate on

11
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: the podcast, but produced and edited as well. So while

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: the NFL isn't training camp, I figured I'd get some

13
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: training camp action right now and be good to go.

14
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I like the shadow Weight League figures. That reminds me

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: of Adam Rank for some reason. Why that's right throwing

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: out there. That's not nice. I don't care for that

17
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: at all. You will like it, and you'll take it,

18
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: sir um. All right, let's let's get right into it.

19
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: We got a busy, busy day here. Obviously, it's the

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: top headlines for today, and the number one had the

21
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: story in the NFL on this Tuesday. Fire off that

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: sounder there, Keil Hard. Everybody talking about it around the late.

23
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: Gino Smith out six to ten weeks after backup defensive

24
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: player i k Enim Polly punched Gino and his and

25
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: broke his jaw. This was announced today by first year

26
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: head coach Todd Bowls. He described below as a sucker punch,

27
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: uh and that the incident quote had nothing to do

28
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: with football. It was something very childish, you know. Polly

29
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: was then quickly released by the team. Sounds like it

30
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: may have been money related. Uh, this was It's a

31
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: crazy story, man, Gino Smith just got sucker punched and

32
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: he's out. He's like Kanye West through the wire. Baby's

33
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: job broken pretty much? Did it worked out well for him?

34
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: Should work out just as well for Gino Smith? Right,

35
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: should be Yeah. So now apparently I'm glad there's a card.

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: There's a Kardashian available still too. The story now is

37
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: that it's it was over basically six hundred dollars. That's

38
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: he's according to several sources, including our own Ian Rappaportzy,

39
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: SI wasn't it was like a plane tap plane ticket. Essentially,

40
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: I'm on I k side. It's not that Gino wasn't

41
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: going to pay, he just paid. Yet that this is

42
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: what happens. By the way, I got a great tweet.

43
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: I can't I wish I had pulled up, but I

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: got a great tweet from somebody. Um, and it was

45
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 1: actually directed towards myself, Adam and and Marcus. A very

46
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 1: concerned podcast listener said at Marcus Grant, at Marcus g

47
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: I hope you're broken jaw does not get in the

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: way of the Fantasy podcast today. I got a lot

49
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: of a lot of similar themed tweets and text messages

50
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: asking what I would have what I might have done to, uh,

51
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, have somebody come and punch me in the jaws.

52
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: Fantast For those who have never seen hopefully, if you

53
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: watched Fantasy Live or looked at Marcus bug on the website,

54
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: he bears a striking resemblance striking so I've been told resemblance. Oh,

55
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't see it, Yes you do,

Speaker 1: your league. All right, so, uh, we know that Geno

64
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: Smith out, you know a couple of months here, Well,

65
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: what does that mean for position guys like Eric Decker,

66
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall, Chris Ivory, uh, and that entire train wreck

67
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: that is the Jets backfield. For me, it always came

68
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: down to Chan Gaily and the players who have flourished

69
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 1: in his offense previously. And I look at a guy

70
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: like Brandon Marshall, who who you love? I do sort of,

71
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: but he's he's one of those guys who just it

72
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: seems like he's overbearing on a quarterback, Like, dude, he

73
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: always gotta look my way. He's like he's like the coworker.

74
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 1: You just have to play kate all the time, Like

75
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: all right, like make sure they're gonna make sure we're

76
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: going to smash burger. Make sure Brandon Marshall knows we're

77
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: going we're gonna hear about it forever. And it seems

78
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: like every quarterback gets locked into having to throw it

79
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: to him all the time. Like take Cutler was having

80
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: a great time of his life until he got reunited

81
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: with Brandon Marshall, and they had to throw it to

82
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: him every single time he went back and dropped back.

83
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: And I anticipated Gino Smith to do it. I anticipate

84
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: Ryan uh Fitzpatrick having to do it other unless he's

85
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: got like some sort of Harvard Jedi mind trick that's

86
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: gonna get him out of it. You know. By the way,

87
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: Ryan Pittz Fitzpatrick did go to Harvard. I don't know

88
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: if you wow, you know, Rank. I think that's probably

89
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: why Brandon Marshall tweeted after the Geno news came out

90
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: that like crying and because he's like all those tips

91
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: to smash burger are wasted. Now start over again. With Fitzpatrick,

92
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: that's like a lot of work, like you know, like

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: you're dating a young lady or something, putting in a

94
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: lot of time. They did spend a lot of the

95
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: off season working on routes in timing and all that.

96
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: That's I was going out with a girl named Bula

97
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: mcgilla cutty when I was in college. Putting in a

98
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: lot of groundwork and all of a sudden she transfers

99
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: to cal courtships old well, and it's it's a similar,

100
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: similar type like many like many smart individuals, they would

101
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: choose California Berkeley over Adam rank That's well, who wouldn't.

102
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: But Marcus, what's your take on this? Man? I I

103
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: kind of see it as a situation where all right,

104
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick maybe not necessarily a downgrade at the quarterback position,

105
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: but that being said, I think it will in bold

106
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: and defenses to stack the box more and it possibly

107
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 1: could you know, impact negatively the run game for the Chets. Maybe.

108
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: I mean I would, I would say good luck. I like,

109
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that. I feel like this is a

110
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: lateral move from a quarterback spot. I mean, I don't

111
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: have any intentions of moving Brandon Marshall one way or

112
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: another in my rankings. I'm not moving Eric Decker one

113
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: way or another in my rankings. And I mean, we've

114
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: seen Ryan Fitzpatrick have flashes of very good throughout his career.

115
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: He was a danger zone specially flash is a brilliant

116
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: but flashes are very good throughout his career. And then

117
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: he can get the balls. A six touchdown game last

118
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: last season, Nick Foles has a six touch so but seven,

119
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, seven the same we got picked the Raiders

120
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: as a sleeper defense. Um. But you know, I think

121
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: I think he'll be fine. I think I think it's

122
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: pactially will be fine. I'm not drafting him. I think

123
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Marsha will be okay. I would draft him as

124
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: like a low wind wide receiver three sort of situation. Um,

125
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: I just don't see much change impact. I mean from

126
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective. And Gaily made Tyler Thigpen relevant for

127
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,479
Speaker 1: a few weeks, all right, he can do okay with

128
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick. How dare you alex Gal Harris shaking here?

129
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: I agree it was the same thing. It's it's basically

130
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: a lateral move. People were just excited for what Gino offered,

131
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: could have offered under Chan Gailey. We know what Ryan

132
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick offers under chain Gail. Like you said, you're not

133
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: going to draft him. He could be somebody's stream, maybe

134
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: a daily play, but all should still be well. They

135
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: have the entire preseason to build up a report for

136
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: those first couple of weeks. I'm not worried. More opportunity

137
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: for Brandon Marshall to exert his will, Fitzpatrick, I like it. Um.

138
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: Running Back Chris Johnson was offered a one year deal

139
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: by the Arizona Cardinals that according to an ESPN dot

140
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: com report, the team is said to be waiting to

141
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: hear back from the artist formerly known as c J

142
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: two K. Why you ask, why would they reach out

143
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: to Chris Johnson? Well, apparently both Andre Ellington and David

144
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 1: Johnson are dealing with hamstring injuries. I would imagine there's

145
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: this is much ado about nothing at is from a

146
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective. Does anyone feel strongly about Chris Johnson either way? Yes,

147
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: I feel very strongly. I'm not drafting. There you go,

148
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: that's okay, we're for a second. We are moving on,

149
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: all right. Hall of Fame game was last Sunday, and

150
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: he takeaways for either the Vikings or the Steelers. I

151
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 1: know we didn't get to see Adrian Peterson, not at all,

152
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: but man, I'll tell you what. I'll start off. I

153
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: was impressed by Teddy Bridgewater. I like Teddy Bridgewater. I do.

154
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: I think he has a chance to be a legit

155
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: QB two this year in a lot of leagues. Um,

156
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: he's a guy with good accuracy. I think his arm

157
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: strength is underrated. Again, he was in a bad quarterback.

158
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: He had a bad Pro Day and everybody like ran

159
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: away from him. But I think, I think, where are

160
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: the gloves? Gloves? I mean, I guess I can tell

161
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: you I'm not drafting Sammy Coats because he couldn't catch

162
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: a cold in the Hall of Fame. So rank your

163
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: takeaways for the Steelers, though, I would let me say

164
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: one thing about Teddy Bridgewater as a fantasy hipster. Yes,

165
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: I drink only double I p a s. I've been

166
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: starting Teddy Bridgewater since last season. He was he was

167
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: the guy you barrel aged. Do absolutely Terry Wheat with

168
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: a hint the great fruits gotta be. If you don't

169
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: have grape fruit, don't even bring it to the table

170
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: like some wool again. Just try to offer me like

171
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 1: a basic I've been like, listen unless there's a little

172
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: bit of mango in there, huh, don't even stop right.

173
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: I agree, And that's how I feel about Teddy Bridgewater.

174
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: And that's did you make this analysis with skinny jeans

175
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: on well in a well manicured beard, Yes, well, now

176
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 1: it's a it's a terrible beard. I had to shave

177
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: it for for television. But yeah, I guess he's would

178
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: be considered skinny jeans. H gil Hard. I know you've

179
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: been super high on Teddy. Um do you see? I mean, look,

180
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: Marcus says, okay, hey, look, he's gonna be a reliable

181
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: QB two. I think that kind of goes without saying.

182
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: But can he be a QB one low end? That's uh,

183
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna depend on how all the offense gaels with

184
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: all the pieces there. You know he's gonna have Adrian

185
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: Peterson back for the first time. Is he still going

186
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: to get his Is Teddy gonna get his chances to

187
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: throw Wallace everybody there? You gotta see it was looking

188
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: good in you know that eight snaps we saw in

189
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: the band game when he marched the team right down.

190
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 1: I don't know if I put him into that QB

191
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: one status, but he could finish maybe top twelve area man.

192
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what he's He at least has the upside.

193
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: I think absolutely to be a very low grade QB

194
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: one go ahead rank point of order. It depending on

195
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: how how large your league is. I have Teddy Bridgewater

196
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: as my number eleven quarterback in your ranking in our rankings,

197
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: he could potentially be a QB one. You want to

198
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: know whom I number twelve is? Peyton Manning. Stop. I

199
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: wouldn't take Teddy Bridgewater over Peyton Manning. Stop? What is it? Where? Where?

200
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: Where do you get this? Where do you where? Where

201
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: in the rank? Brain? Does this rattle around? Well? I

202
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: just what I like to do is watch football and

203
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: analyze it. Okay, shock at contests I liked. I like

204
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: to look into the future. All right, So if I

205
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: now listen, let me tell you guys, if you're playing

206
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: in a fantasy football league where you're getting points based

207
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: on two thousand and seven statistics, Peyton Manning Actually that

208
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 1: was the year after they give me the reason why

209
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning is ranked lower than I Bridgewater with you,

210
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: I think the time has coming. If you saw Peyton

211
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: Manning at the end of last season and he looked

212
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: terrible anytime he had to throw more than twenty passes

213
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: in a game. But are you saying are are you

214
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: saying are you worried about injury? Here? Uh? Injury? Yeah?

215
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean people are like, well, he's injured, Like yeah,

216
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: that's what happens. When you turn forty, you get can

217
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: you even see that movie, like, that's what happens when

218
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 1: you turn forty you get injured walking to the bathroom,

219
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: like it does. That's what happens. And you're playing a

220
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: very violent sport and also too, I think it warrants

221
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: mentioning with this scrutiny on the P s I levels

222
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: of football, how is that going to Peyton Manning was

223
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: the guy who called off legislation and with Tom Brady,

224
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: and you mean to tell me that he is not

225
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: a control freak the the the inflation levels of I

226
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: think it's more probable than not. We're gonna come up

227
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,319
Speaker 1: with some kind of challenge here, uh you you saying

228
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: statements like that Peyton Manning rank lower than Teddy Britt.

229
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: We gotta come up with some kind of challenge. But

230
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm only basing this on fantasy points and that Teddy

231
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: Bridgewater score more. Yeah, we're gonna go ahead. Yeah, We're

232
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna come up with something. What do you come

233
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: up with? We're gonna come up with something. If you

234
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: watch Peyton Manning at the end of last season, right,

235
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: what did you see to where you're like, you know what,

236
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: I have all the confidence in the world that he's

237
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna rebound. Um, well, he's got better weapons. Let's start there. Better.

238
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean his wide receivers are better. I

239
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: won't say his running back is better. That's probably think

240
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: I think. But he had those guys at the end

241
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: of last year and was not good. But he apparently

242
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: was in according to if he comes back healthy, I

243
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: think I think he's got a great chance. Now Willie

244
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: be healthy? Okay, I don't know. I mean that's why

245
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: I think he's going so late in drafts right now,

246
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: because a lot of folks are worried that, uh, he's

247
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: a he's a high injury risk, which I get. But boy,

248
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. If he plays six team games,

249
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a near impossibility that scores less fantasy points.

250
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: And I think that the best analogy for this is

251
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: Brett Farve's final season with the Vikings. Okay, I had

252
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: that magical run where he got that NFC championship game

253
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: and everything and it just got up. That's a lot.

254
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: That's a lot of football he's played at egging injuries

255
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: over the last gup. All right, we're gonna come up

256
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: with something. I would just say this. I would warn

257
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: fantasy enthusiasts. When you're doing your drafts, it's like, you

258
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 1: know what, it's hard to say goodbye to these guys,

259
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: guys who have been so good for you and faceotball

260
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: for for many years. And Peyton Manning has been one

261
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: of the best. But at some point you gotta look

262
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: at it and be like, I gotta turn the page.

263
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: I gotta be looking for this year. I gotta see

264
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 1: who is the up and coming guy. Teddy Bridge at

265
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: the end of last season was a better Fantasy football

266
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: quarterback than he was he was and now he's getting

267
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,440
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson. Chuck Johnson is going to be an improvement

268
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: to I. I'm going with the upside. I like it.

269
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: I don't you know me. I don't think it's outlandish.

270
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: Look well, no it is outlandish. It's but you don't

271
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: you know me. I love I love being aggressive. I

272
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: love being a but that's too aggressive eats for me.

273
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: It's a blind taste down now here. I'll just if

274
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 1: you put their number, if you put the numbers from

275
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks at the last at the end of the last season,

276
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: you put him side by side of that, he said,

277
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: picked the quarterback he want. I want that guy guess what.

278
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: Gino Smith also on that list, Pecker, I mean, come on, so, uh,

279
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: Gail Hard, Let's let's switch gears here a little bit.

280
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: Uh Steelers and he takeaways from the Steelers. No, not

281
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: really because none of their starters play. All I know

282
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: is that Landry Jones still is not throwing a touchdown

283
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: past in the preseason. It's all right, let's move on.

284
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: Brown's running back coach put Isaiah crow Well, Terrence West,

285
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 1: and Duke Johnson on blast. Wilbert Montgomery, the running backs coach,

286
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: telling Cleveland dot Com quote it just bothers me that

287
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: guys don't want to be the lead bell cow guy.

288
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: Montgomery added that no one showed up in tip top shape.

289
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,160
Speaker 1: What are we to make of these comments from a

290
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: fantasy perspective, Marcus, I think it's the coaching stuff trying

291
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: a lot of fire under one of these guys. In fact,

292
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: the latest story is that they are considering, not yet signing,

293
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: but considering one Raymond Rice No come into Cleveland. No. Yeah,

294
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: story recently just popped up before we started here on

295
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: around the NFL. Uh you know you mean the NFL

296
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Life podcast. Yeah? Okay, but um, but so look

297
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: I think right now, this is just the case of

298
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: trying to motivate one of these three guys to get going.

299
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I know with Johnson and West, those guys

300
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: have been banged up a little bit. I know West

301
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: has kind of been on thin ice wat for a while,

302
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: so I'm not putting a lot of stock into it yet,

303
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: but I mean, it just goes back to the fact

304
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: that they're the reason that I'm not big on any

305
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: one of these guys, just because you don't know who's

306
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: going to be the guy on a week tweek base

307
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: backstory here. When I first started at UM at NFL Network,

308
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: I wasn't officially listed off as the one of the

309
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: hosts for Fantasy Live, but I do remember one of

310
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,119
Speaker 1: my very first interactions regarding Fantasy was about the Cleveland

311
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 1: backfield with no one else other than Mr Adam Rake,

312
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: who was big on the Terrence West hype train. And

313
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 1: I saw a little tape and then I saw a

314
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: little tape of isaiica Well. I said, Nope, there's no

315
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 1: chance that Terrence West is gonna beat out this kid,

316
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: because Isaiah kaw Well is just a much more explosive

317
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: athlete as the preseason kind of wore on. Uh, and

318
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: I got to know Adam Rank a little bit better.

319
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: You understood, I said, Rank, Man, your boy Terrence West

320
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: doesn't look too great, but he's still stuck to his guns.

321
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: He loved it. But uh. But and then as the

322
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: season worn on, obviously we saw the crow fly just

323
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: a little it. I know that Adam Rank is very

324
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: tuned in to the Cleveland backfield. What is your takeaway

325
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,120
Speaker 1: from these three guys. I'm not sure I like your

326
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 1: tone right now. I might have been wrong about Terrence West.

327
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: He was one of the That's one of the problems

328
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: with watching so much of this scouting combine because here

329
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: where did Terrence West with the akron or was it

330
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: or something like that? He was He's one of those schools.

331
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: To all the fine listeners from Tauson, I apologize, and

332
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: looking at this, I I have to believe that through

333
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: all the smoke screens and through all the motivations and

334
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: Wilbert Montgomery's number thirty one Eagles Jersey is a cool,

335
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: hipster Jersey by the way, like that, But I feel

336
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: like last year Isaiah crow Well is going to be

337
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: the guy who ends up emerging, ends up being that

338
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: number one guy and all of this will be for

339
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: not they They've they've got a nice little accumulation of

340
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: some mid car running backs, but the one who just

341
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: screams of the upside and that guy who can take

342
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: that job over. And this is Remember, this is a

343
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: pretty good offensive line, and they've got some chances. I

344
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: think it's going to be the Crow, and it's I'm

345
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 1: not into it. I'm not into Terence West as much anymore. Still,

346
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: kind of have you know I was. I was so

347
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: bullish on him last year that there's still a little

348
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: bit of investment that I would I would like to

349
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: have that opportunity at some point to come out and

350
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: be like, see, I told you that, even though I've

351
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: kind of backtracked now and Duke Johnson scares me that

352
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: the thing about Duke Johnson and uh, I don't know

353
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: if I should be calling up but one of the

354
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: former players who walks the halls here we were talking

355
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: about it, and he flat out told me like I

356
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: would not take a running back from the a c C.

357
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: Like that's not a good football conference. And so and

358
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm like, all right, well, wow, I'm like okay,

359
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: And I again, I don't want to call it. But

360
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 1: one of the guys who works here and said, I'm

361
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: like that makes sense, Like I I'm really going back

362
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: through my mental rogge. I mean c J. Spiller has

363
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: had something. Yeah, don't mention c J. Spiller. I hate

364
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: to be that guy like where you're just are dismissive,

365
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: like it's Wisconsin running back but at the same time

366
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: like it, so you're not scared, but it's like it's

367
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: the competition level of things like that. But yeah, you

368
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: know what's funny is doing a lot of mock drafts,

369
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: and which you can do on NFL dot com right now,

370
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash Fantasy. You know what you should

371
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: You should go to draft pros. Have you used their's

372
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: and I can I not endorse them. We should probably

373
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: stick to our products for crying out loud, listen, Hey,

374
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: it's my first day behind the glass. Alright. I don't

375
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: need more shadowy league figures coming in here. Alright. Alright,

376
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: So Duke Johnson, uh, you know, maybe Adam ring Down

377
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: a big a C C running back guy. All right,

378
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about the NFC. Uh. These are your

379
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: top NFC training camp battles to watch for at least

380
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: in regards to fantasy. And we'll start with Philadelphia UH

381
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford versus Mark Sanchez. I'm gonna start

382
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: with MG. Here are resident USC Homer uh San Chite

383
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: was I don't know, a viable fantasy quarterback last year

384
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,879
Speaker 1: under Chip Kelly. Sam Bradford, you gotta think he's got

385
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more talent level than than Mark Sanchez.

386
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: Can Sam Bradford maybe under this Chip Kelly offense become

387
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: a top twelve quarterback? Yeah? I mean you know, I

388
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,679
Speaker 1: was the most lukewarm response. Well, yeah, I look. I

389
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: like Sam Bradford's ability. I like his talent. It's always

390
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 1: an issue of Kenny stay healthy. Can you get say,

391
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: twelve to fourteen games out of Sam Bradford because the

392
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 1: offense is set up for him to succeed. I know

393
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: that's been that's been Chip Kelly's thing is that he

394
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily need stars. He just needs people who can

395
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 1: play within that offense. So obviously it's set up there.

396
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: He's got the guys around him, whether it's you know,

397
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews, who I like a lot, uh, Nelson aghilor

398
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: who I think steps in plays really well this year.

399
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: You've got guys in the backfield with DeMarco Murray and

400
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews. There's so many reasons why he it's just

401
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: a matter of Kenny stay on the field. But where

402
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: he's coming off the board so late in drafts, it's

403
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: really a nearly no risk proposition. You get him for

404
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,160
Speaker 1: a really good draft prize. If he succeeds, then you've

405
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: got a gym on your roster. If he doesn't, you're

406
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 1: not really out anything. Uh, He's he's one of those

407
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 1: guys where if you're playing auction lea draft, you gotta

408
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: get this guy. You're probably gonna overspend on running back

409
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: and overspend on wide receiver, maybe even overspend on tight end.

410
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: But Sam Bradford is a guy in auction leagues where

411
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: you can get him for a book and just build

412
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: the rest of your roster and just hope for the best.

413
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: And you know, we always see quarterbacks kind of pop

414
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 1: up on the waiver wire anyways, and even if he

415
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 1: doesn't pan out, as Marcus said, you've really drissed. You've

416
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 1: really risked nothing. And a guy who does have potential,

417
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: uh great upside. Yeah, Rank and I were talking downstairs

418
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: early day too, and he threw out the idea of

419
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: if you draft Tom Brady and waited out his suspension,

420
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: Bradford is a great name to grab as your second

421
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: quarterback to write you through the first couple of weeks.

422
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 1: His first game is in the Georgia Dome against Atlanta

423
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: in Week one, which is just a juicy matchup the

424
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,959
Speaker 1: turf with his track stars at wide receiver. Like, if

425
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: he's going to light it up, he's probably gonna gonna

426
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: throw down in that first week and you can get

427
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: a bunch of points and try and ride amfor flipping

428
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: for somebody else or pick somebody up for the waiver wire.

429
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: I like Bradford this. Let's talk about the Dallas running

430
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: back situation. It's um It's a backfield that is obviously

431
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: one of the most interesting training camp panels were watching

432
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: for Joseph Randel recently dealing with an oblique problem. Darren

433
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: McFadden has been you know, in and out of practice

434
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 1: with a bad hamstring. So those two guys aren't playing still. Yes,

435
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: Gus Johnson, the undrafted free agent, not the broadcaster, the

436
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: running back out of Stephen f. Austin and the beautiful

437
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: Southland Conference five ten two fifteen ran an unbelievably slow

438
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: four sixty. Well that's a bit harsh, yeah, a little

439
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: bit harsh, but it's not good for a run back. Now,

440
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: I was around a four or five. That's why you

441
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: while you're sitting here, I was not training, though I

442
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 1: think I could have gotten that down. No, I don't

443
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: think you could have. You really know, honestly, honestly, I

444
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: don't think that. Can you just talk to me about this,

445
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 1: uh Cowboys depth chart here, Joseph Randall, Darren McFadden or

446
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, a little bit of hype train building

447
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: here choo choo for no, no, don't don't do let's

448
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: not let's not get carried away. And we haven't even

449
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: played well outside of the Hall of Fame game. We

450
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: haven't played the first preseason game. And we didn't expect

451
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: a lot out of Randall and McFadden early on. And

452
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: McFadden's hamstring injury, of course, is a little bit of

453
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 1: a problem because that's one of those nagging injuries that

454
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: continue to just linger and they don't really ever seem

455
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: to go away. Every time somebody comes up with a

456
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: hamstring injury, no matter what week. It is. They're dealing

457
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: with it all year, and it's like, especially running back. Yeah,

458
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: it's it's that. It's that in the high ankle spring.

459
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: It's like if I see a ham or a high

460
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: ankle spin, I'm like, ah, this is gonna be problems

461
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year. That's the one, all right,

462
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: So who do you like in that in that mix there,

463
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: joe Randall or or generally I'm starting to get on

464
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: board with Joey Randall and then he goes out and

465
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: hurts his oblique. But again, it's not a hamstring and

466
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 1: it's not the dreaded high ankle sprain. So you're like,

467
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: all right, we'll kind of see how this goes. And

468
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: when I'm doing my mock drafts and things of that nature,

469
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: seeing Joey Randall there in about the fourth round, because

470
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: my strategy is to go receiver receiver or receiver gronk

471
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: or something like that, and then you start picking up

472
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: your running backs and a lot of times I'll get

473
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: Frank Gore mark Ingram in the third and then Joey

474
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: Randalls sitting there in the fourth, and as an RB two,

475
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: You're like, all right with that offensive line, with that offense,

476
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: and considering that I'm gonna probably end up taking like

477
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: thirty running thirty rookies. And that's the one thing is

478
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 1: they're hoping somebody pans out. You you need just one

479
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: guy to pan out. That's the point. In the Experts

480
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: League last year, where you had like nine running backs,

481
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: I did uh in that league and in my league

482
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: of record, and in my league of record, I know

483
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: for a fact I had uh C j Anderson, Jeremy

484
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: Hill and uh justin for sett. It's a it's a

485
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: it's a stress. I also had Cordarrel Patterson. So I

486
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to injure myself patting

487
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 1: myself on the back Listen, I'm not perfect. So but

488
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: but again the point is is you just need one

489
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: of those guys to put Yeah. Absolutely, And that's with

490
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: Gus Johnson. The thing is like with h Randall nursing

491
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: the oblique and uh mcfannon being injured again. Surprised he's

492
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: going to probably start for Dallas this weekend in the preseason,

493
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: and I could impress it's it's a lot of hype

494
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,399
Speaker 1: right now. Tony Romo was quoted with a piece this

495
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 1: morning on NFL dot Com pumping him up. I read

496
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: some other stuff from from blogging the Boys on Espnation

497
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: and things. What everybody likes about Johnson is his ability

498
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: at the goal line. When he gets that carry, he

499
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: goes in, so you can't have some ability to plow

500
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: it in there. But um, we'll have to see if

501
00:25:58,440 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: this becomes more of a committee as it might have

502
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: been hinted at, and they don't just hand it to Randall.

503
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: Johnson could be maybe like the Lendale White to Randall's

504
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: c J two K. It's a little bit it's a

505
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: little bit scary because Joe Randall really doesn't have the

506
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: the the size of a prototypical every down back. And

507
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: so that's what makes me kind of worried about drafting,

508
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, a high draft pick. Uh, spending a high

509
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: draft pick on Joe Randall. If he's there in the

510
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: six or seventh, I'd be okay. But that's what I'm saying.

511
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: There's no chance he's gonna be there in the six

512
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: or seven. Guys are so high on this Dallas Old line.

513
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: In my opinion, he enters that undraftable zone for me

514
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: because guys are drafting on the Old line. If it's

515
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: a committee, and maybe the the team as a whole

516
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: puts up great numbers, but will any one of these

517
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: individuals do it? I don't know. So serious question here

518
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: because we talk about the Dallas running backs and everybody

519
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 1: talks about that offensive line and how you know Joe

520
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: Randall is gonna be great? People even thinking you know

521
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: Darren McFadden could have some life. Why is it? Then? Similarly,

522
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: when you look at what's going on in Philadelphia where

523
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: they have a very good offensive line for run blocking,

524
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: everybody downgrades de Marco Murray and Ryan Matthew. It's a

525
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 1: great point. It's a great question because that's a legitimate

526
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: committee right there there. And Darren Sprawls is also in

527
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: the mix. If if DeMarco Murray was there with three

528
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: curtain jerkers who weren't going to see the field, I

529
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: would be all about it. But there's legitimate guys hair

530
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: who are going to take the football away from him,

531
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 1: which which pushes him down into the second round. I mean,

532
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: I would love to get him in I I that's

533
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: I always hate when people are like, I'd love to

534
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: get him in the third Yeah, no kidding, I'd love

535
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: to get him in the eighth round, you know. But

536
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: like I, it seems like he's realistically going to be

537
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 1: drafted in in the second round. But if you're there

538
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,239
Speaker 1: in the early third, you still have a little bit

539
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 1: of hope that he's going to be there, which is

540
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: because of the situation. I don't I don't think it's

541
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: a knock on him. Plus he plus he carried the boy.

542
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: I I think if my maskrat eight hundred times, give

543
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 1: or take. Yeah, I think I think you're about out there.

544
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 1: I don't like, I want to stay with you because

545
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: you and I had been this is this is the

546
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: new Cleveland backfield for for you and I. Uh Falcons

547
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: backfield Tevin Coleman versus DeVante Freeman. I've been flip flopping

548
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 1: on these guys. So it's not really no, I don't know.

549
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: I had a stake in this in this situation last

550
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: year with DeVonta Freeman. And when where the shoes at?

551
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 1: Where they at? Listen, they don't sell them in adult sizes.

552
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: That's the problem. If they're there, there's not a came like,

553
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: you can't order them online. I would I would happen,

554
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: not happily. I would wear them, although I think having

555
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,880
Speaker 1: to wear the red shoes, the red high heels kind

556
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: of negated all of that, which, by the way, like,

557
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: how did that even happen? How did how did you

558
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: get roped? I don't know how you got roped? We

559
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: had the march to all of a sudden, I'm walking

560
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: around NFL fantasy and high heels, like what what is this?

561
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. Just give me your take on the

562
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: Falcons running back situation. Who do you like in this

563
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: battle here? He's still a good running back, and he

564
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: showed at the end of last season if he was

565
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: given the opportunity, he was good. Like you watched the

566
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: Falcons and you're like, yeah, he's good. The only problem

567
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: is is this coaching staff is brand new, right, and

568
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: these guys aren't invested in DeVante. They don't care. That's

569
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 1: just a guy that they inherited. And they drafted Tevin Coleman.

570
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: And if you watch Indiana football, he's a fine running back.

571
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: He wasn't somebody who jumped out and like a mere Abdulah.

572
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: You're watching on Saturday morning going like, oh my god,

573
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: this guy is amazing. I don't remember seeing an I mean,

574
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: I know I saw Indiana play at least twice. I

575
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 1: don't remember coming away being like, I can't wait till

576
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: if you missed one of Coleman's like home run hit,

577
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: like sixty yard didn't well, and then you didn't see

578
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,479
Speaker 1: anything special, you saw everything. It was crazy. Look at

579
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: this guy. Part of that out here on the West coast. Generally,

580
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 1: Indiana plays in that nine am ESPN two, which is amazing.

581
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: That's my that's my wheelhouse. It's like it's the it's

582
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: the it's reserve for either Indiana or Northwestern. These two

583
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: teams that occupied a surprising amount of Northwestern games, a

584
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: lot of Chicago transplant. Um, I'm gonna wait, but this

585
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: is the thing because everybody we draft so late, it's

586
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: like it affords us the opportunity to wait and see

587
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: who's gonna end up winning that job. I will take

588
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: whoever wins that job. Some peripherals on on Tevin Coleman.

589
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: Here he ran for two thousand yards last season again

590
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: at the aforementioned Indiana. There's about seven people who watched

591
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: him play. Um, two thousand yards at Indiana is a

592
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: borderline miracle because the team was I mean awful, they

593
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: were terrible. Uh. Tevin Coleman was smallish, but he's very explosive.

594
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: He's five eleven two d and five pounds at his

595
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: pro Damn man, he ran a four three nine, a

596
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: four or three nights fast. That is ridiculous fast. But

597
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: does he truck people? That's the one thing like I

598
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: is he is he one of those guys who's gonna

599
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: bounce off camp contact and continue to run. I mean

600
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: it's hard to tell. Plus when he's not at you know,

601
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: one of the major conferences, you don't know how that's

602
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: gonna step what that's the home of the national champions

603
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: How how dare you? Being from Big ten country? I

604
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: can say it's it's not what I would love it

605
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: to be. Even though I didn't go to a big tense.

606
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: Your coaches are leaving for Oregon State in the Big ten,

607
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: So let's not all right? Um, Marcus, who do you

608
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: like in that? In that battle to have a call

609
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: to Devonte Freeman? Man, I'm staying with Devontae Freeman. Maybe

610
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: because I also was on the Jack Quiz Rogers bandwagon

611
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 1: for oh so long, and I kept feeling like DeVonta

612
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: Freeman is going to be the new Jack Quiz Rodgers,

613
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: only better. So I'm not totally ready to jump off

614
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: of that one just Plus, you know, we talked all

615
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: the time about teams bringing in running backs, especially guys

616
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: who were drafted in the earlier round in the NFL draft,

617
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: and not wanting to give up on them just yet.

618
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: And I would be surprised if the Falcons gave up

619
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: on Devonte Freeman just yet. I'll tell you this, man.

620
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,479
Speaker 1: People ask why are you drafting quarterbacks so high? My

621
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: strategy right now, and it's been no secret quarterback high,

622
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: I could tell you because nobody's gonna do it right

623
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 1: except for me. I'm taking quarterback high. I need to

624
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: get one of those elite wide receivers, one of those

625
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: top five guys you know are gonna put up yards

626
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: in nine or ten touchdowns. You gotta get one of

627
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: those guys. I want to get Lucker Rodgers and Tevin

628
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: Coleman is literally the reason why I'm doing that. Devin

629
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: Coleman is going later in drafts, and I think he should.

630
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: And and not only that, he's got incredible upside to me,

631
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: and he's one of just a few rookie running backs

632
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 1: that I think have great upside and and to me,

633
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: this particular year. It's a weird year because, like there's

634
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,479
Speaker 1: so many high upside running backs, sleeper running backs as

635
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: I call him. I love David Johnson in Arizona. I

636
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: like David Cobb in tennessee him. You don't like him

637
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: when christ Johnson signs in Arizona. It might be a

638
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: good point. But but again, there's a lot of upside

639
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: running backs that I'm very, very interested in. Tevin Coleman

640
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: leads the list for me. All right, let's talk about

641
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: the Bears. Eddie Royal versus Kevin White versus Marquis Wilston

642
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 1: White dinged up right now. You heard his shin. He's

643
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: still on that pup list, Elliott Harrison told me after

644
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 1: the show today. Man, he's big on Eddie Royal. Where

645
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: do you guys stand on the fence here and Alex

646
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: will start with you. Good choice. I I've been coming

647
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: around a lot on Eddie Royal this year. When they

648
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: drafted Kevin White, I was more pumped for that, but

649
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: then I realized they didn't pay Eddie Royal all that

650
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: money to come and just sit on the bench. So

651
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: I think he's going to thrive in that slot. Um

652
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 1: in the Chicago offense, and there's some he's been surprisingly

653
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: like you don't think of Eddie Royal. We always joke

654
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 1: like he gets his two or three touchdowns in the

655
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: beginning of the year and then he disappears. He's been

656
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 1: one of the more efficient receivers in the league the

657
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: last couple of years. I got from I was reading

658
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: this article on number fire Um the other earlier today

659
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: and he had a hundred and fifty eight receptions and

660
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: fifteen touchdowns on just sixty seven seven percent of the

661
00:33:56,320 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: snaps the last two years in San Diego, So when

662
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: he was on the field and getting tar, he was

663
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: very efficient. Um, Kevin White is that shin injury is

664
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: not good. He's a he's a big guy. But I

665
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 1: think Eddie Royal is gonna thrive in that shorter intermediate

666
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: passing game that Adam Gates rolls out a lot with

667
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning, a lot of his passes weren't traveling all

668
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: the yards to start in the air, and I think

669
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: that's where Eddie roy was gonna thrive for that offense.

670
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: I want to smash through a bunch of these real

671
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: quick giants running back situation with Sean Jennings, Andre Williams

672
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,439
Speaker 1: Shane Vereen. Vereen ran for four hundred yards last year,

673
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: caught another fifty balls for another four fifty through the air.

674
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 1: He averaged four point one yards per carrey. Pretty good.

675
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: He had five total touchdowns. He really makes this backfield

676
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: I mean interesting, yes, but almost undraftable. Am I wrong

677
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: in saying that? Marcus? I'm gonna say you were asking

678
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: what I thought, and I was gonna give you a bit.

679
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 1: I mean I do eventually think, and I said it

680
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: on Inside Training Camp Live earlier on Tuesday, that I

681
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 1: think long term, Andre Williams becomes the guy in this backfield.

682
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: But right now, between Williams and Jennings and Vereen, it's

683
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: so much of a muddled mess it it really frightens me.

684
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: If I'm picking one. Short term, I'm actually probably picking

685
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 1: Verene just because I think he has that dual threat ability.

686
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,839
Speaker 1: But long term, I think it's still gonna be Andre

687
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:11,320
Speaker 1: Williams backfield. Um, I think he might be right. The

688
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: only problem is that Andre Williams really can't catch the

689
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 1: balling hasn't and and he didn't show it in college,

690
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: and he didn't show it in the pro. So it's

691
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: certainly a battle we're watching for rank. I know very quickly.

692
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: I know that you're really high on Verene as well.

693
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,440
Speaker 1: I like him a lot. I the offense that they

694
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,439
Speaker 1: run there with the Giants, with the short passing game.

695
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: They want Eli Manning to make high percentage throws. That

696
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 1: leads me to believe that Verene is gonna be out

697
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: there a lot. He's gonna be out there more than

698
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 1: you expect him. I know there's the people look at

699
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: him as a third down back, but in this side,

700
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: in this in this version of the NFL, there's the

701
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: team's pass all the time, and he's gonna be the

702
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 1: guy you want on the field. And plus the other

703
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: two guys I don't know that you can trust to

704
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: be healthy for an entire season. Plus hashtag cal running

705
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 1: back all Right Vikings, wide receiver battle Charles Johnson versus

706
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: cor Darrell Hatters. This is a battle. How dare I

707
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: utter his name in these fantasy circles? But this is

708
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: a battle. What what are you doing? We have very

709
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 1: precious that franchise was just sitting back there holding up

710
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: a move on sign just so we could waste valuable

711
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: time talking about Cordel patterns. Give me some projections on

712
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: Charles Johnson. Johnson Chuck Johnson over a thousand, eight to

713
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: ten touchdowns. Him and Kyle Rudolph are going to be

714
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: the beneficiaries of Teddy Bridgewater being the number eleven quarterback

715
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: this season. Like him, like real quick on Johnson was

716
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: crunching some numbers. From weeks eleven to fifteen last year,

717
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 1: he averaged nine point nine fantasy points per game. Uh.

718
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,719
Speaker 1: Four receptions and uh with that and seven about seven

719
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:48,399
Speaker 1: and a half targets. With that, he projects to about

720
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty eight fantasy points. Put them right on

721
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 1: that wider Suver two radar. That's more points than Mike

722
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: Wallace had last I will say this, Um, I'm not

723
00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: terribly impressed with the skills of Charles Johnson. What have

724
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 1: you been watching? Oh, I'm sorry, He's not great catching

725
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: the actual football. He runs okay, he runs pretty good rounds.

726
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: He's got great science, he's got good speed. Look, there

727
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: was a game last year where he was targeted eleven times.

728
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 1: He caught three balls. That awful game. I added pressing,

729
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:23,399
Speaker 1: I mean batting average goes. It's not beds not bad,

730
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: but in in NFL reception terms, that's not great. One

731
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: of one of those three catches was a touchdown, so

732
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: that was that kind of masked his very poor effort.

733
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:34,719
Speaker 1: I don't think he's great at catching the football, and

734
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: that's kind of sort of something that you need at

735
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 1: the wide receiver. I look at him as a guy.

736
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking at him as about sixty five catches,

737
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: you know, topping out about sixty five catches. His ceiling

738
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: right now for me is maybe eight hundred, eight hundred

739
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: and fifty yards, you know, four to six touchdowns. I

740
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: think that sounds about right. Are you getting excited about that? No?

741
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to draft that. No, I don't want

742
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,959
Speaker 1: to draft that. I actually think Mike Watson is gonna

743
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: have a decent years. I agree. I actually agree. He

744
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: been working with Teddy Bridgewater in the off season. I

745
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: like it. You want to talk about somebody who's not

746
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: great at catching the football? All right, We're moving on.

747
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: We'll go to Carolina. The Panthers wide receiver situation, Devin

748
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: Funchs versus the Mighty Jericho Cochry Devin funches six four

749
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: to thirty five. I mean, we talked about a bad

750
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: forty times. He ran a four point seven forty at

751
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 1: the combine, although he ran a pretty respectable four point

752
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 1: five at his pro day, so that's good. H You

753
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: also want to talk about a guy who can't catch

754
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: the ball very well. He had twenty drops over his

755
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: three years at Michigan, also a horrible number. So um,

756
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,879
Speaker 1: he poses an interesting matchup problem. Certainly when you look

757
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: at Calvin Benjamin on one side and then you've got

758
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: Devin Funcius on the other, it reminds me greatly of Chicago.

759
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if Devin Funches, though, is terribly talented

760
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: at actually catching the ball. Oh wow, that's that's harsh.

761
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's he seems fine. I Um, when

762
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 1: you're talking about this, uh this battle head ahead with

763
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: Jericho Codry, I see this more as sponges versus Greg Olson. Okay,

764
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: is who's gonna get a lot of those red zone

765
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: looks said? He has a convertive tight end. You know,

766
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: he's a a big target for Cam Newton, who will

767
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: look at him and say, hey, look he's open, and

768
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: then dive into the end zone himself as he takes

769
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: his own one yard touchdown plunge. Um. Yeah, it's tough,

770
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 1: Like you said, there's a lot of red flags there.

771
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:30,280
Speaker 1: The Panthers receivers always scare me because Olson's in the mix,

772
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: because Cam Newton does like to call his own number

773
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: a lot. You want to be tantalized by it. It It

774
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: seems great on paper, and you know, if you're playing

775
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: a video game or something, you're like, I love having

776
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: these big receivers, but in actuality, I'm not sure it's

777
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: gonna translate. And I've noticed as they've been doing my

778
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,439
Speaker 1: mock drafts, I ignore him. Yeah, there's not a whole

779
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: lot to get excited about Markus. Uh, yeah, I'm not

780
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: really fired about Funcious. I mean I looked at last

781
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: year when they drafted Calvin Benjamin, and everybody talked about

782
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: how much of a project Benjamin was, and obviously it work,

783
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: doubt I mean, he had some good numbers last year.

784
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: But I look at Funch is even more of a

785
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: project than Kelvin Benjamin. The difference to me is the

786
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 1: fact that Calvin Benjamin, while he was in college, he

787
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: caught everything. He actually had a lot of drops in

788
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: college too. He might no, no, no, he had some

789
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: very noticeable easy catches that he dropped. But in traffic,

790
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: that dude was extremely reliable. Easy catches. Yes, he had

791
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: concentration problems. That to me was a big difference between

792
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: concentration problems and actually just dropping the ball. Like if

793
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: you look at the football bounce off of Devin Functions

794
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: hand while he was at Michigan, it just looks bad.

795
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't to me when I saw Calvin Benjaman catching

796
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: or not catching the ball, because he did have a

797
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: lot of concentration errors. It's because he was kind of

798
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: looking up field and he wasn't He wasn't focused on

799
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 1: on receiving that pass. But uh, in traffic, a tremendous,

800
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: a tremendous athlete getting up and getting that ball. All right,

801
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Redskins, real quick tight

802
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: end battle there Nile's Paul for Jordans Reid. Paul listed

803
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: as the starter on the first depth chart of the season.

804
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: Maybe no surprise because Jordan Reed has been dealing with

805
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: a knee injury. But look now, as Paul man, he

806
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:13,319
Speaker 1: started strong last year. He averaged eighty yards a game

807
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: over his first four threw a touchdown in there as well.

808
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: Then he suffered a nasty concussion um and then from

809
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: then he split time with Jordan Reid and Locan Paulson

810
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: moving forward. So, uh Niles, Paul's is an interesting player man.

811
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: He put on twenty seven pounds this offseason um and

812
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: most of it muscle, so he's got interesting upside. Alex,

813
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: where do you stand on this whole battle between Now

814
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: it's Paul and Jordan Read. I'd rather take a flyer

815
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: on Paul person personally when it comes to late round

816
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: tight ends. I've loved what he's put on the field.

817
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: Jordan Reed is also athletic, but Paul is the one

818
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: that coaches seemed to be behind a little bit more.

819
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: They even said it wasn't just one of those things like, oh,

820
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 1: Read's injured, we're gonna put Paul first. They were now

821
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 1: as Paul is, Grady offers a lot. They said they're

822
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,240
Speaker 1: gonna use both. But if you're gonna take a flyer

823
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: on a on a tight end late, why not be Paul.

824
00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: Twenty seven pounds of sole in the off season. That's

825
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: pretty good, although it should be noted on Monday he

826
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 1: did ding up his shoulder. M Ris came back negative,

827
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: which is good, but he did leave practice in obvious pain.

828
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: All Right, I'm gonna stay with the tight end position

829
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: talking about Packers, my boy Richard Rogers. See, I don't

830
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: want to talk about this because I feel like Richard

831
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 1: Rogers get a little too much pump. You're trying to

832
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: keep it off. I'm trying to keep it all. I'm

833
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: trying to keep a man. I'm trying to keep it alone.

834
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,800
Speaker 1: But Richard Rodgers and Andrew corl is battling for a spot.

835
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 1: Uh Marcus, how do you see this battle plan out?

836
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: I do think it's going to be Richard Rodgers when

837
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,040
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, But I think you're gonna

838
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: have to wait a while for that to happen. I

839
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: think it's gonna go back and forth. I think you're

840
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: gonna see Courtless still get on the field quite a

841
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 1: bit and still get some targets. So you know, I

842
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: do think long term, Rogers probably has more upside. But

843
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: you you talk about Sleepers, I mean he is a

844
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: deep sleeper. Yeah, I'm taking him in the sixth team.

845
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: See what I've been doing and C J. Fedora Witch, Uh,

846
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: that's not That's a guy who just won't wake up.

847
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 1: That's just not How dare you that's the next Gronk.

848
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 1: That's not the Bill O'Brien's project. What you know what

849
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 1: I've been doing defense for defense thirteen kicker fifteen, and

850
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,040
Speaker 1: then Richard Rodgers in the sixteen um in those sixteen

851
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: round drafts, but in fifteen. But basically I'm just taking

852
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: him the last round. No one even knows about Richard

853
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,760
Speaker 1: Rodgers fantasy hipster over here. Yeah, I know my moscow

854
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: mule and a copper mug. I will say, little twirly

855
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: mustache in defense of Richard Rodgers. I follow a lot

856
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: of beat reporters in general, and also naturally a lot

857
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: of Packers beat reporters. Naturally. They tweet every play during practice,

858
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 1: and they talked about how Rodgers made a couple of

859
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: nice catches from Aaron Rodgers, and they said when Chorlis

860
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:40,239
Speaker 1: had a similar opportunity, dropped it. So it's one play,

861
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: but they for your boy, do they figure out now

862
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: if you're going to be a tight end for the

863
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: Packers or they put you on special teams and practice

864
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 1: on side's kicks? Hey, now, who what an unnecessary dig?

865
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: It's a legitimate question. Brutal Listen. Also, on that play,

866
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,120
Speaker 1: his job wasn't catch the ball. He was supposed to

867
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: block and let Jordie Nelson catch it. So I think

868
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers job was not to go three and out

869
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: in that one possession beforehand? And how dare you bad

870
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: mouth these cow players? Dare that's my mistake? That is

871
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:19,160
Speaker 1: a transgression. I will not forgive. Let's let's get to

872
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 1: the mail. Bail you. Nick Sornson at Nick Sornson too.

873
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 1: I don't know who has Nick Sornson one, but Nick

874
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: Sornson bummed? Was he? A friend of the show asked

875
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: a very simple question, We'll go around the horn, Melvin

876
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: Gordon or mark Ingram Adam Wrink will star with you.

877
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with mark Ingram because he rushes for

878
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: a thousand yards every year. No, he does not. He's

879
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: never done Actually you've never done that. He's never I

880
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: heard you walking around the newsroom being, oh my god,

881
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: he's never rushed for a thousand Who cares? He was?

882
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 1: He was good, like am I? He had nine touchdown.

883
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't see him getting nine next year. I don't

884
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: see it. I was trying to think, oh my gosh,

885
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,160
Speaker 1: I thought I did pretty well with mark Ingram last year,

886
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: but he wasn't. He wasn't spectacular because he was dinged

887
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: up a couple of times the shoulder, which they were

888
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: talking about the ages and the hand hand. Yeah, so

889
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 1: if he only gets one of those this year. But

890
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: here's the thing, if only I mean, that's the problem

891
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: with mark Kingram, right, he's always hurt. I don't get it.

892
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: And he's coming off of a year where here he

893
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: got paid. I mean really, I mean you're feeling that

894
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: comfortable with marking plus and the thing with Melvin Gordon. Okay,

895
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 1: now I'm not Okay. Here's the thing that jit scares

896
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 1: me is the Chargers offensive line. I didn't see a

897
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: lot of improvement there. Uh, he's not. They got Danny

898
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:41,359
Speaker 1: woodhead there, who's their third down back, So he's going

899
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: to be in a two down situation like Ryan Matthews was.

900
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure they might mix in Brandon Oliver at

901
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:48,880
Speaker 1: the goal line as well. Yeah, there's just like a

902
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,320
Speaker 1: lot of factors in there where I'm not as excited

903
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: about Gordon as I am with some of the other rookies.

904
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:55,360
Speaker 1: I'll say this, James, you are right, mark Ingram is

905
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: not going to have nine touchdowns again this year. He's

906
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: gonna have ten. I think he stays healthy. I think

907
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 1: this offense is more set up to run the ball

908
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: at least to be a little bit more balanced than

909
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 1: they have been in the past. And if he stays

910
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: healthy and he gets fourteen or fifteen games, I don't

911
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: see why he can't get into the fact that they

912
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 1: added Max Hunger definitely adds to that. I just I

913
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: just don't see it. Man, I sink this is again

914
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 1: he's just hating on the Saints. Speller doesn't like I

915
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: like Breeze enough off the fres quarter with Sean Payton.

916
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,439
Speaker 1: I've never been in the French Quarter. I wish, I wish.

917
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: I've never been in New Orleans. I've never been in

918
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: New Orleans. No, it's fantastic. I would love to get

919
00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: some chickeny coffee and some Bignet's. It's a great. Yeah,

920
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: that's what stop it. Alright, I go ingram as well. Okay,

921
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Melvin Gordon all day. All right, all right, Austin,

922
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: out of your pie hole and listen up, Magot, It's

923
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: time for Maracle. Austin Hensel Hensel twenty three. Maybe he's

924
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 1: a Jordan fan. Do you think Carlos Hide will have

925
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: a breakout year this year? Gil Hard will stall with you.

926
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 1: I'm getting more and more worried about Carlos High as

927
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: the offseason goes on. It sounded like the whispers where

928
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 1: that he kind of came to training camp overweight. Reggie

929
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,399
Speaker 1: Bush is there, Kendall Hunters there. It seems like every

930
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: day we read about another forty nine are just walking

931
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: off into the sunset and like hanging out at the

932
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: beach instead. So I at his asking price, which is

933
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: currently still like in the fourth round, maybe the third,

934
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: third or third or fifth round. I'm too I'm too scared.

935
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm not going to touch him there. Marcus Grant, Well,

936
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: he makes it sound like, I mean, the way you

937
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: know Gailhard was talking about guys walking off into the sunset,

938
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm envisioning the closing credits to The Incredible Hulk where

939
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: it's just gonna say, I wish I had that drop

940
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: the road. That's kind of what it feels like. Um.

941
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think he's gonna break out and

942
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 1: be like a running back one for you one RB one,

943
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect that. I think there's still a chance

944
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: for him to be an RB two. Just keep in

945
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: mind he's probably gonna be a two down back. He's

946
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy first and second down. I think

947
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Reggie Bush off the bench, comes in

948
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:04,480
Speaker 1: passing downs on third downs, and and helps out in

949
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: that respect. So if you can be really productive, I mean,

950
00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 1: I think he would have to average, you know, between

951
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: four and a half and five yards to carry to

952
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: really be that guy. It's not impossible. But I'm kind

953
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: of of the opinion that I'm not as excited about

954
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: him now as I was, say, three or four months ago.

955
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: Los hide, I'm off. No, I'm good. You know what.

956
00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: The one thing that scares me about the San Francisco

957
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:30,359
Speaker 1: situation is that if they're bad this year, and I

958
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: anticipate them not being a very good football team when

959
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: compared to other professional football teams, thank you, not a

960
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity to run the ball and kind of

961
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: grind the clock. They're gonna have to be throwing an

962
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,439
Speaker 1: awful lot and that really doesn't play to his game.

963
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 1: That kind of lends itself a little bit more of

964
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: Reggie Bush. You know, I will say this, it's a

965
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: big question mark. I mean, I think Alex you hit

966
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: it on the head man, you know, at a fourth

967
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,400
Speaker 1: or especially at a third round draft price, which is

968
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: I'm seeing him going the third quite a bit. Actually, yeah,

969
00:48:58,360 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 1: he did in one of our mocks. I think Dylan

970
00:48:59,840 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: Mill they're also a Niners home there. But but there's

971
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 1: a lot of Niner fans out there, and there's a

972
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,799
Speaker 1: lot of people that believe in him. But I think

973
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: at that asking price, it's a little too scary. I

974
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 1: will say. The one thing though, that is intriguing, at

975
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: least to me, is, you know, I think there's kind

976
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,919
Speaker 1: of this presumption that Reggie Bush will be a third

977
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 1: down guy. We really have no idea how the coaching

978
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 1: staff is going to utilize Carlos Hide. Maybe they just

979
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: want to keep him on the field, get him those

980
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: reps and kind of build towards the next year. I'm

981
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 1: not exactly sure. We don't know enough about the coaching

982
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: staff to kind of figure out how the Niners are

983
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,959
Speaker 1: going to utilize Carlos Hide. But at a third round

984
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: asking price, man, I guess you could say we're all

985
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: kind of sadly walking away from him. Yeah, that's tough.

986
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: It's how far if Wow, he found it, I think

987
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: makes me feel sad about my football team right now.

988
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: I'm going back and looking up Jeep Christ in his pasty.

989
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 1: That's for another podcast, The Rap kind of Sour, Billy

990
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 1: Mansell got a baby? Whoa The rap cons were asked,

991
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: are there any potential breakout deep wide receivers like Mike

992
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,439
Speaker 1: Evans Odell Beckham last year? Who's ADP isn't very high?

993
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: An you all are watching? They were? Okay? Mike Evans

994
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,919
Speaker 1: and Odell Beckham were both drafted in the first round

995
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: talking about Fantasy were they like? I thought those guys

996
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: were flying off in the middle rounds last year? A

997
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:27,720
Speaker 1: lot of people, a lot of people didn't draft Beckham

998
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 1: because of his hamstrength thing and the fact that he

999
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:31,879
Speaker 1: missed the first like four he was on the waiver

1000
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 1: wire in a lot of leaks. Um so and you

1001
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 1: know the same. I don't want to say I think

1002
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: you might be right. I think Mike Evans last year

1003
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 1: was going somewhere in the sixth seventh round. But still

1004
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: given the fact that he gave you top ten wide

1005
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: receiver numbers, obviously, uh he paid off very well. So

1006
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: I guess the question is breakout sleeper type wide receivers,

1007
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: gilhar who do you like? I'm gonna throw this name

1008
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: out since we scratched another question off. But Brian Quick,

1009
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: Marcus dynasty team, as he said to me yes yesterday

1010
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 1: last season, what are you waiting on Brian Quick? He

1011
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:07,919
Speaker 1: had for the first three or four weeks this season,

1012
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:11,320
Speaker 1: he was averaging like seventy yards a game and he

1013
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 1: scored like three touchdowns in that span. They're gonna need

1014
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: a wide receiver to emerge, and Brian Quick is the

1015
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 1: one that they are behind for doing all of that. So, uh,

1016
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: if this we're talking undrafted, blah blah blah, Brian Quick

1017
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: or a late round guy. I mean, so, okay, well

1018
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: we'll say Brian Quick. I'll tell you right now, I'm

1019
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 1: not drafting Brian Quick, Marcus. Give me, give me a

1020
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: late round guy. I don't want to say, because then

1021
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: people are gonna draft him. It's gonna blow everything up.

1022
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: Uh Nelson, Okay, you know, and the hype train is

1023
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 1: starting to pick up speed. You know. I see tweets

1024
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: about how he and Bradford seemed to be on the

1025
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: same page. Now in practice, I mean, we know Jordan

1026
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: Matthews is going to be pretty good this year, but

1027
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: it looks like Agalore could push Josh Huff out of

1028
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: the way to be that number two wide receiver and

1029
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: in that that Eagles offense. That's a pretty good gig. Yeah,

1030
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,240
Speaker 1: it's not bad. Uh, certainly Adam Rank I like Nelson

1031
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,239
Speaker 1: aguila Are a lot too. I think he's a good

1032
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,960
Speaker 1: I you know what, for whatever reason. I know why,

1033
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,720
Speaker 1: because he was good last year. I do like Jalen

1034
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 1: Strong down there in Houston because you have somebody's gonna

1035
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: have to emerge opposite of DeAndre Hopkins. I feel like

1036
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: he's got some upside. Uh. That's Allen Robinson. It's another

1037
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 1: fun one is getting drafted highly though he's going in

1038
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 1: the sixth round. I see him, but I see are

1039
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: going a head of I think I think it really

1040
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: depends on I think I'm the one who's drafting. I

1041
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: think it depends on what kind of what about. But

1042
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: I think most of the fantasy masses have not bought

1043
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,760
Speaker 1: into Allen Robinson quite yet. I think if you're playing

1044
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 1: in more of a layman's league, I think Allen Robinson

1045
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: will last eighth ninth round. If you're playing with more

1046
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: expert types that see the potential. I did just do

1047
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 1: an eight team. Was an eight team, which is a

1048
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: sad league. I know, but it's with some of my

1049
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: college buddies over the weekend, and I scooped up Allen

1050
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 1: Robinson in like the eighth ninth round? What about Green

1051
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: Beckhambody somebody in Tennessee needs to be that wide receiver

1052
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: and I'm over all of their guys, don't you know.

1053
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't know how many years, it seems like every

1054
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: so often I buy into the somebody's got to catch

1055
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: it theory, and like that always burns me. Somebody has

1056
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 1: to catch it, doesn't mean if you catch it a

1057
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 1: lot catch it every now and then. It's a professional

1058
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,160
Speaker 1: football team. Well it looks they've got four guys that

1059
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,359
Speaker 1: run streak routes. I mean, I just it's hard for

1060
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: me to buy into any of those receivers. Plus they

1061
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: got a rookie quarter a rookie quarterback. So there you go.

1062
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: I love I love me some Jalen Strong, I love

1063
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: him in PPR. I think he's gonna get a lot

1064
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: of work opposite DeAndre Hopkins. He's got great hands. He

1065
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: showed he was very productive at Arizona State as well.

1066
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:47,880
Speaker 1: The personally beat Marcus Grants. Boys, remember remember the desperation Heath.

1067
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: Do we have to talk about that they beat USC.

1068
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,360
Speaker 1: I'm aware on a desperation heat and that's one of

1069
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 1: my pet peeves when people are like they threw the hailman.

1070
00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 1: The hail Mary was one singular play in NFL history

1071
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: where Roger Staba went back and said, I said a

1072
00:54:03,200 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: hail Mary and then threw it up. So that's one.

1073
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: But it's like saying like, oh he ran it goes

1074
00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:11,359
Speaker 1: to the post or emailed an immaculate reception. No, it's fun.

1075
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: So it was. It was a desperation heave and Pollards

1076
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: stood there like I was. I couldn't remember his name.

1077
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: Boy love it all. He pointed that one out. I mean,

1078
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: like I haven't had a good chance over pouring it on.

1079
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: I thought that was the USC fights on. All right,

1080
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: So this is our last mail band question. You've got

1081
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,560

1105
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: This parody they call Little Knockers, which is basically Hard Knocks,

1106

1111
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:21,759

1112
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: ours because this is for a little something. Marcus and

1113
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 1: I went to see last week. We saw a preview screening. Yes, right,

1114
00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:34,240
Speaker 1: So Marcus and I went to see Straight out of Compton,

1115
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: which is the biopic about the rise and fall and

1116
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 1: coming back of n w A. And it was fantastic.

1117
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 1: By the way, I got a little nervous, honestly, I

1118
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: was like, where are you going with that? Out of

1119
00:56:44,600 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: this soon? Oh oh yeah it was. It was. It

1120
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 1: was one the clean version in a very short drop. Okay,

1121
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: but Marks and I want to see it. And it's

1122
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 1: a fantastic It's really good. The performance and all the

1123
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 1: guys are great. The soundtrack obviously is great. Um, the

1124
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: story is awesome. They I thought they did a good

1125
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,360
Speaker 1: job of covering as much as they It was a

1126
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: two and a half hour movie. I heard Actually, one

1127
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: of my friends works at Universal said the original cut

1128
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: was a lot longer and it was still good, but

1129
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: they had to pare it down so they could. I'm

1130
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 1: actually surprised though. Half hours. Yeah. Usually for a for

1131
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: a movie like that, they try to, you know, get

1132
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: it to less than two, but it flies by. Well,

1133
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: they got a lot. They cover pre n w A,

1134
00:57:18,760 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 1: n w A, the break up, and then come kind

1135
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: of come back at the end spoil everything. But you

1136
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: might be amazed at how much Osh Jackson Junior looks

1137
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: like his dead. Finally, after like an hour and a

1138
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: half or so, I had to lead marks and I

1139
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,080
Speaker 1: was like, are we sure that's not just ice cube?

1140
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: I like that, you said spoiler alert for a true story.

1141
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: Easy died, Hey, Mr, I hate on the people might

1142
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 1: not know eas died. You know, mayb people were mad

1143
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: when they found out the Titanic sank in the movie,

1144
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 1: which it's true. No, it's true. Actually my niece said that, uh,

1145
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 1: you know a quick point on the nw A Bark

1146
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: did could not name all five members. I remember that.

1147
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: I remember that. I'm trying. I was thinking about that

1148
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:08,640
Speaker 1: this morning. I can't name the fifth guy. Okay, so

1149
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: I easy dr Dre M C Wren. I can't think

1150
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: of the fifth guy. Make it Acapella man, Come on, now, um,

1151
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: I was you know what I was looking around for

1152
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: the Daily DAPs. I was trying to decide. I guess

1153
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: I can't do the Fantasy pros thing because that'll be

1154
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 1: I can't talk about like we live in a vacuum.

1155
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: I was saying before, I don't listen to the Shadowy League.

1156
00:58:34,280 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: Figure has bounced by now, Okay, there's no way. I

1157
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: was thinking also about Josh Trank for Panning is Fantastic

1158
00:58:41,240 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: four movie which awful like Green Lantern level I wanted. No,

1159
00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:50,080
Speaker 1: it's a Marvel movie. I probably won't see it, I wanted.

1160
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: I was thinking about Kristin Stewart Jesse Eisenberg, who are

1161
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: back together again for the first time since American Ultra. Yeah,

1162
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: since it their first time together since adventure Land, which

1163
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 1: was a great movie. But I'm gonna go my Daily

1164
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: DAP though to m j D because we are in

1165
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: a I guess, for lack of a better term, and

1166
00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: experts league. If it was an expert's league, Alex Gilhard

1167
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: would be in there. I don't know. There's still a chance.

1168
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: I think so you're saying, I've got some I've got

1169
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:23,000
Speaker 1: some candidates to throw out of the league, thank you.

1170
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,160
Speaker 1: And m j D is joining this league. He is

1171
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 1: taking the spot that is being vacated by Molly Carrem

1172
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: who went on to the mother Ship, and so she

1173
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: had an opens about m j DS taking it. And

1174
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: we do our draft order, how you fished last year,

1175
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 1: and then so okay, so there it is, so that

1176
00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 1: bar Is has the first pick. Because bar has the

1177
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: first pick, it was awful ust year, um, and last

1178
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: year they settled this with you. They they made you

1179
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:57,040
Speaker 1: pick last. That's you're the newcomer, which to me is

1180
00:59:57,080 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: absolute garbage because let's say the Browns were old tomorrow

1181
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 1: next year at the draft, They're not like, hey, Browns,

1182
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,840
Speaker 1: you have the last pick in the draft because your

1183
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: team now you occupy that spot. And for me, it

1184
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't make a difference because I would still be at

1185
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: seven because I lost in the semifinals. But no, But

1186
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: so m j D has ten. So most of the

1187
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 1: time when things like this happened, nobody will say anything.

1188
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to rock the boat. Boom, m j D

1189
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 1: rocking the boat saying why do I gotta pick last.

1190
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 1: Why And I you know what, I agree with him, No, no,

1191
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: but Money who won the league should have the last pick.

1192
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:39,919
Speaker 1: Fabiano should have nine. M j D would have eight

1193
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 1: because he's taking over the spot because Molly beat me

1194
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: in the quarterfinal whatever it was, And I agree. I

1195
01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:48,280
Speaker 1: think that way. I think that's the way it should

1196
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:53,760
Speaker 1: be handled. Maurice Jones drew his email. Oh my, unbelievable.

1197
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: This is a quote from his email. What type of

1198
01:00:56,920 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 1: manners did your parents teach you? How my the guest

1199
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:05,400
Speaker 1: and picking last? Shaking my head l O L. That

1200
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: was amazing. What kind of manners did your parents teach you?

1201
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: Daily DAPs to Maurice, and I love it, uh my

1202
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: daily dab. I'm picking back, piggybacking off of off of

1203
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: you guys man the New Doctor dre uh semi soundtrack

1204
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: for that. It's the album's called Compton. I mean, the

1205
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 1: dude's almost as old as Frank Gore and he is

1206
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:42,800
Speaker 1: and he is still pumping out jams Man the entire album.

1207
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 1: I give it. I give it a solid A minus.
