00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: The Around the League Podcast runs the cover for Defense.

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another edition of the Around the League Podcast.

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: My name is Dan Hansas. I'm joined by not quite

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: a room full of heroes. We have Chris Westling, Greg Rosenthal,

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler not in the house today, Fellas. How are

6
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: you great? Dan? How was your Sunday? Sunday? Was nice?

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: It was? I guess it was the last Sunday off

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 1: for quite a while. Ironic that Dan skipped most of

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: August but is in the office on Labor Day. We're

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: all here well speaking, which uh, I thought Labor Day

11
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 1: was gonna come in here. I I dressed down for

12
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: holiday reasons. I have a T shirt, actually had flip flops.

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: It was wearing a hat. Get in and everybody's all

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: dressed up, dandy up on Labor Day, which seems wrong.

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: So I had to go back to my car and

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 1: get dress shoes to at least try to clean up

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 1: and remove the hat. So I feel a little weird

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: right now. It's week one, baby, and Greg also got

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: a haircut too, which added because Greg was really like

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: a flop top for a while there and now he's

21
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: all cleaned up. And yeah, when I was saying I

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: had to leave for a haircut last show. I wasn't kidding.

23
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: I really left and it was from Dan's guy. He

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: he treated me nice. I'm feeling good. It's week one.

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 1: They're nowhere. Holidays at the NFL. People. We got three

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: shows debuting on Monday on NFL Network. Get excited. Uh

27
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: And I feel especially bad for West on this Monday

28
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: Labor Day. Could be spending some qualities already that time

29
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: by the pool. Instead, you're in Studio sixty six. I

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: got it out of my system on Saturday, my first

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: Saturday off in a month. Wow. We don't need have

32
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: to get into details on that. Okay, So we got

33
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: a we got a nice show today. We're gonna talk

34
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: about some notable cuts over the weekend. We're gonna go

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: over our final award choices for Offensive Player of the

36
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: Year and the Defensive Player of the Year, Coach of

37
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: the Year, go over some news with Crystal, a little

38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: fantasy talk which people like. That excites the people. And

39
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: that's about it. But so let's start. Why don't we

40
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: start with the weekend. There are a lot of cuts made, Greg,

41
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: do you wanna start us off with that? Yeah? I

42
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: think Vince Young was the one that stuck out to me.

43
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: You know, they get rid of Graham Harrold. At that point,

44
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: you think Young is probably safe. They get rid of

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: Vince Young, you think their backup probably isn't on the

46
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: roster unless they're going with b J. Coleman. Then on Monday,

47
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: they get rid of Coleman, they bring in Seneca Wallace,

48
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: who for a minute we thought was retiring. And you know,

49
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 1: this isn't how you want to enter the season with

50
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: with your backup quarterback. I think every team is in

51
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: trouble if you lose a quarterback like Aaron Rodgers. But

52
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: this is pretty much a worst case scenario for Ted

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: Thompson and the Packers. It's not how you want to

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: enter the season. But I would bet they feel more

55
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: confident with Seneca Wallas this year than they did Graham

56
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: Harrold in previous seasons. What do you guys do you

57
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: guys think? I guess why didn't they sign him earlier

58
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: though he was you know, it's not like people were

59
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: killing themselves to get Seneca Wallas. He wasn't even the

60
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: league last year. My guess is, like, come comes down

61
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: to how many reps can we distribute, and they had

62
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: all their eggs in the Vince Young basket at that point.

63
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: I'm curious. So you guys think we have talked We've

64
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: talked about the Packers a little bit last week. Um,

65
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: if for whatever reason, worst case the Aaron Rodgers went

66
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: down and you had to put it put in, I guess,

67
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: Seneca Wallace, what kind of how many wins would that

68
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: team have with the rest of the pieces they have

69
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: in place? Sick? That sounds about right. You know, Matt

70
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: Flynn was a pretty good backup. The thing is this

71
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: isn't a new problem for this team. The backup quarterback

72
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: situation has been a problem since Flynn left. Really, it

73
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: was a problem all of last year. It just was

74
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: a case where they didn't evaluate right because they thought

75
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: they were good enough with coleman Uh and Harold this

76
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: offseason or else they would have done something differently and

77
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: they and they weren't good enough. So the easy answer

78
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: would be to trade for Matt Quinn. I kind of thought,

79
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: when the Raiders were delayed announcing their cuts on Saturday night,

80
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,120
Speaker 1: maybe there's a surprise Matt Flinn trade. It would make

81
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: some sense. Yeah, it would make sense on some levels.

82
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: But then you figured Ted Thompson never gives up draft

83
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: picks and Matt flinn salary is probably pretty high for

84
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: a trade, and that would also be the saddest full

85
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: circle everyone in the NFL dejected Matt Flynn. Any other

86
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: notable cuts you want to bring up. Jonathan Dwyer in

87
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh was surprised just because he looked better in the

88
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: preseason and they're not healthy at running back with Levian

89
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 1: Bell hurt, so they kept Felix Jones over Dwyer. I

90
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 1: was surprised about that. Wire was their only healthy running

91
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: back throughout the preseason and looks slim down, looks pretty good.

92
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: Um and our feeling from the Pittsburgh Tribune review was

93
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 1: that there's some kind of skis them there between the

94
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: coaching staff in the front office on this release. The

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: coaching staff wanted to keep him and the front Apparently

96
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: he ticked the front office off a little bit by

97
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: showing up out of shape to to UH mini camps

98
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: and then he did lose or thirty pounds between mini

99
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: camp and training camp. But maybe he wrote his ticket

100
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: out of town. You see this every now and then

101
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: with the Steelers. There was some disagreement about Bruce arians

102
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: when when he left between the coaching staff in the

103
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: front office. But Kevin Colvert doesn't get a lot of love.

104
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Is one of the best at what he does, so

105
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: I trust him. I mean, is this going to make

106
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: that big a difference in this team now? And to

107
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: their credit, If this was the jet it would be

108
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: a full blown controversy, but the Steelers put a lid

109
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: on it and you all you ever hear is whispers,

110
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: not like a full blown drama. Any other cuts. We

111
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: were cranking out the cuts on Saturday, Dan Mark and

112
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: I and Kevin Patrick were while Chris was just relaxing.

113
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: I think the one that most shocked me was Antoine

114
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: Winfield cut and retired, which points to the Seahawks depth,

115
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: which we talked about. I had no idea he was

116
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: considering retirement because he had been playing at a pretty

117
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: high level the past couple of years. I feel, yeah,

118
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: I feel I feel like he I guess he made

119
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 1: someone of a tactical error and free obviously did in

120
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: free agency, and I guess it came down to he

121
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: didn't feel like going through the process starting over and

122
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: being the slate at thirty six or uh and twelve

123
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: fourteen season seasons in I guess that was enough for him.

124
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: It's one of those that the Pro Football Focus rank

125
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 1: don't match up with how NFL teams see him, necessarily

126
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: because they have Winfield as I think their best cornerback

127
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: in football. Last year, he didn't really get much of

128
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: a free agent contract. My guest, and he's been one

129
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: of my favorite guys to watch at cornerback for ten years.

130
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: Is he just kind of read the you know, right

131
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: hand the wall. He could keep his career going, but

132
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: once he gets cut, he just didn't want to do

133
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: it anymore. And I had one more on the Vanguard watch.

134
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: We were talking so highly of the Seahawks and Niners

135
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: last week, Chris Harper fourth round pick got cut. You know,

136
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: of course, that gets the angle on this is that

137
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: the Seahawks they know when to cut loose, They operate

138
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 1: their own rules. Well, the Raiders did the same thing.

139
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: They cut Tyler Wilson their fourth round pick. Are they

140
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: also the vanguard? It reminds me a little bit of

141
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: Brian Brohm, who also toiled under Bobby Petrino or not, yeah, Briant,

142
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: So maybe Petrino's quarterbacks just aren't that cut cut out

143
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,239
Speaker 1: for the NFL. Yeah, Tyler Wilson. We'll see what happens

144
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: with him. But man, that's that's rough. And the interesting

145
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 1: thing with Harper was that the Seahawks wanted to keep him.

146
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: Ian Rap Report reported that the forty Niners and Seahawks

147
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: kind of battled over getting Harper, but eventually he ends

148
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: up going to the Fortys and their active roster. So

149
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: it's just another little dig from Jim Harbat to Pete Carroll.

150
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: You gotta love that. And and Tyler Wilson. I was

151
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: at a rookie event at a Los Angeles elementary school

152
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: in June, and I remember asking him, you know, how

153
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: does it feel to be talked up as a potential

154
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: starter this season? And now look where he is. Yeah.

155
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: Another another few notable cuts were just mentioned quickly. Robert

156
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: Meetchum is no longer in the league. One of the

157
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: worst free agent signings. I wouldn't expect the Saint to

158
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: sign him. They they really like what they've seen from

159
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Kenny steells In and Nicktune and Austin Collie. I thought

160
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a surprise, but you know, that was an interesting one,

161
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: and we've made it this long without mentioning, right, I

162
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: mean it was a third quarterback he started in the

163
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: playoffs a couple of years ago. He's a significant NFL

164
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: figure and now I would be surprised to see him

165
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL this year. Again. As a honeymoon gift

166
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: from the NFL News desk last year, I received a

167
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Jets Tim Tebow jersey, which still has its tags on.

168
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: It's still hanging in my closet. Is it more valuable

169
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: now or less valuable now that he may not ever

170
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: play again? I don't think you want to wear that jersey,

171
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: but I will wear And I'm wondering for eBay reasons.

172
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: It seems like Tebow's value would be a personal thing.

173
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: I think I think it's at an all time low.

174
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: And I'm just amid that Pat White has outlasted both

175
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow and Jimmy Clawson in the NFL. So three

176
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,719
Speaker 1: cheers to Pat White. Alright, So that is that is

177
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: our cuts talk. Um, Glad that that was that's over,

178
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: because that is a that is a tough shift and

179
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: kind of a tough time of year. Um, let's go

180
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: to more awards fund our final two awards posts that

181
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: we did. Where do we want to start. We want

182
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 1: to start with the Rookie of Year predictions. Sure, all right, Wes,

183
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: why don't you share yours? Because well, maybe I should

184
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: preface this by saying that for offense of Rookie of

185
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: the Year, most of us agreed on one man, and Wes,

186
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: you were one of them. Who was your pick for

187
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: offensive Rookie of the Year? I picked Eddie Lacey, uh

188
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: of the Packers. He is looks like he's locked into

189
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: a feature back role with Dwan Harris out for the season.

190
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: I think we can expect if he stays healthy two

191
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: D two h fifty carries. I think I tabulated the

192
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 1: Alex Green, James Starks, and Cedric Benson combined for two

193
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: D seventy seven carries last year, and none of the

194
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: three ran well. So if Lacey's running well, we can

195
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: expect a heavy workload. I think that changes the dynamic

196
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: of their offense, finally having a running game there um

197
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: and I you know that everything is in place for

198
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: the Packers this year. I feel like it's perfect situation

199
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: for Lazy. Yeah, four of the five of us chose Lacey.

200
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,839
Speaker 1: I didn't look at everyone else's picks before making mine.

201
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: I might have just tried to come up with a

202
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: different one other than Lacey. Uh, But I'm excited I

203
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: took him on my fantasy team. I mean, what's not

204
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: to be cited about with Lacey? And it's weird when

205
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: you look up and down the list of potential candidates

206
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball, there weren't a lot

207
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: of obvious names, were there. There's one guy that everybody

208
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: is sleeping on because the Rams sandbag the heck out

209
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: of the preseason. I really like the way Tavon Austin moves,

210
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: and we saw it on the punt returns. You didn't

211
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: see in their offense because they purposely kept him from

212
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 1: being showcased. But it would not surprise me in the

213
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: least if Tavon Austin was the guy. That's a good

214
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: point too, because if you remember what what the buzz

215
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: was heading into the draft in April, and the way

216
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: Austin was talked up and and how the Rams moved

217
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: up to make sure they got him. One one's quiet

218
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 1: uh preseason in terms of the offensive side of the ball,

219
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: and people all of a sudden are not thinking so

220
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 1: highly of him. But he might be a sleeping I

221
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: will say this. I know Greg loves Chris Gibbons and

222
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: I like him too, but to me, the differences Tavon

223
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 1: Austin has special ability. Chris Skiveveons just has pretty good ability.

224
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: It's tough for a wide receiver to win that award.

225
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: I thought about DeAndre Hopkins too, and I like that pick.

226
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: But usually it's a running back and Monty Ball doesn't

227
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: seem like he's going to be in place to really

228
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: do it. So Lacey made more sense. I'll tell you

229
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: why I don't like the Hopkins pick. I think he's

230
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: a fine player, But how often do you see a

231
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: team's number two receiver win Rookie of the Year. It's

232
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,479
Speaker 1: a fair point. That is a fair point, alright. So

233
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: so that's Lacy is the consensus there. What about on defense, Greg,

234
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: who did you pick for defense? I went with alec

235
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: Ogletree of the St. Louis Rams. Both the Patra Kevin

236
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: Patra and I both chose ogle Tree. I was surprised

237
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: someone else did too. I just think he's in a

238
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: great position. Like running backs win offensive Rookie of the Year,

239
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: a lot of times linebackers win defense. And there really

240
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,839
Speaker 1: wasn't a middle linebacker choice that made a lot of

241
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: sense except for Wes's boy, Mr Boom Bostick. That's catching on. Yeah,

242
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: I hope that though I just brought it up. I uh,

243
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: we should say who it is by the waycause maybe

244
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: hasn't caught on enough where we know who it is. Yes,

245
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: John Bostick, Wesselyns trying to, you know, start this nickname

246
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: for him because he's a huge shaggy fan. A lot

247
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: of people don't know that about I didn't know that

248
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: about Wesley go to third person. All this hype for

249
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: Wesseleyan is is getting to his head. I like Uncle

250
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: Tree because he's gonna make plays that people notice. And

251
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: he's got a great defensive line in front of him

252
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: to help him go pursue the ball, and he's got

253
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: to intercept passes and break up passes. I could just

254
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: see him making a lot of splash plays that get

255
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: him in highlight reels. I agree with that. He's going

256
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: to make plays, the interceptions, fumble recoveries, knocking away balls.

257
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: The only reason I didn't pick him and I considered

258
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: him he was probably my runner up. I just saw

259
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: him out of position too much in the preseason. He

260
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: was making a lot of errors, over running plays in

261
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: the wrong position too many times. I think there maybe

262
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: a few growing pains, but you're right. I think maybe

263
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: the voters will see all the splash plays on the

264
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: highlights and it won't matter. And it's funny, great you

265
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: said plays people notice. That's why I took the honey

266
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: Badger in Arizona. I think and West did as well.

267
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: And I am authorizing you to speak for the two

268
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: good good. I'm glad that we're alternating on the podcast

269
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: on this topic. Uh yeah, I just think he's from

270
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: everything we're hearing. He's being talked up now is the

271
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: sleeper of the draft, to the guy that should have

272
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: went way higher than he did. He's he's going to

273
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: have a defined role in that secondary and he makes plays.

274
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: He's a guy that is always around the ball, forces fumbles, intercepts, passes,

275
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: and then you can't discount when you're talking about anything

276
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: that's a voting process, the redemption of the Honey Badger angle.

277
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: It won't hurt him either. Yeah, he's one of those guys.

278
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: I think people outsmart themselves when they're scouting. Sometimes. I

279
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: don't watch much college football. When I watched L s

280
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: U play. When Honey Badger was there, you just knew

281
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: he was the best player on the field, and I

282
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: think that translates to the NFL. Is it possible, though,

283
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 1: we're falling for what you talked about a few weeks ago,

284
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: recentcly biased whistling that you know, he he gets a

285
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: lot of hype in the preseason, he makes some plays

286
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: in the season, suddenly suddenly he's a defensive rookie the year.

287
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: It's like last year, I remember, I think they pulled

288
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: maybe it was fifteen or sixteen of us at NFL

289
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: dot Com for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Andrew luck

290
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: was to pick on fifteen out of sixteen r G

291
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: three only got one vote, and it was all because

292
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: he had a good preseason. I think that's a fair point.

293
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: There could be some recency buyds there, But like I said,

294
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: I thought he was a great player in college. I

295
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: thought he was underdrafted, and I think he's just he's

296
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: just one of those natural ball players who has all

297
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: the talent in the world. Okay, let's move over to

298
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: the Coach of the Year predictions. Now this has to

299
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: tie in directly with for obvious reasons, with our standings picks.

300
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: It has to be a team that either makes the

301
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: playoffs or was wretched and gets close to the playoffs. So, Wes,

302
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: you want to get us going with who you chose

303
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: as your two thousand thirteen NFL Coach of the Year. Sure,

304
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: as Matt money Smith said to open the podcast a

305
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: while back, would follow Mike Tomlin anywhere. We will follow

306
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin anywhere I will. I think he's one of

307
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: the best coaches in the NFL. He's got a make

308
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: up for Mike Wallace leaving. Heath Miller's injured, his his

309
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: star second round running back is injured, his defense is

310
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: getting old. He has all these factors. Nobody is picking

311
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: the Steelers to win the NFC Central except three out

312
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: of the five around the crew members. So I think

313
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: you know that you're right. No one is predicting they're

314
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: gonna win the NFC Central because that doesn't ex Let

315
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: me start that. I like that. All right, we're gonna

316
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: deep breath for West. Do you want to recraft your

317
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: point on any level? Yeah, I just throw that one

318
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: over to you, all right, Greg, Greg, go ahead. I'm

319
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: going with Chip Kelly. You know I had them as

320
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: a surprise division champion. Um, I'm still trying to kiss

321
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:53,359
Speaker 1: up to Crystal. I'm hoping that's gonna work beautifully. And uh,

322
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: I think he's a coach that people notice, not only

323
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: because he'll get written about a lot, just because he

324
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: does the sort of things that impress us. You know,

325
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: NFL rubes who like to see fund formations and like

326
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: to see surprise, you know, champions in their division. And

327
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: the Eagles to me are a perfect pick to win

328
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: that division. And and I think every year the ten

329
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: and six team that surprises ends up winning Coach of

330
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: the Year. For some reason, Bill Belichick, those guys never

331
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: win it. It's always guys like Chip Kelly. I'm a

332
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: little surprised that Kelly was the only one of you

333
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: were the only one to pick Kelly, because I'm sure

334
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 1: if you quizzed writers and experts, so called experts around

335
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: the country, Kelly will be the pick. Um I went

336
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: with because again, you have to follow your standings. I

337
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: took the Browns to go nine and seven get a

338
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: playoff spot, so I'm gonna go with Chud. Rob Chadzinski.

339
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: I think you know a lot of this. A lot

340
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: this is this is out on a limb. Listen, is

341
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: um so much out on out on a limb, but

342
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: that our initial post on this didn't even have Chud

343
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: in there. Greg excluded it. I had to make sure

344
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 1: I got in there. But I was just trying to

345
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: save you for your sake, I really listen. I backed

346
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: myself into a corner on this one. I'm admitting it,

347
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you can't. This is not

348
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: time to get scared. I think they have a lot

349
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: of pieces there if we didn't progresses nine wins? Is

350
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: that absurd to say that the Browns could win nine

351
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: games this year? I have never heard somebody has all

352
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: in on the Cleveland Browns this year. So what was it?

353
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: People that really mentioned that Dnski's read option with camp

354
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: last year not not really known as a huge coaching success, right,

355
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that what coach was getting criticized more

356
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: as an offensive coordinator than Rob Early last year. To

357
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: be fair, he was getting just as much credit the

358
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: year before. That's true. I just want to give Dance

359
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: some shock the world. Come on, shot, I need you

360
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: right now, um, and just to round it out because

361
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: they're not sitting with us today. Kevin Patrick took Andy

362
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: Reid with the Chiefs, which there's some logic to that,

363
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: and Sessler took the CFL guy Mark Trustman with the

364
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: Bears make sense. Although the Bears went ten and six

365
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: last year, So if they go ten and six again

366
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: but make the playoffs, Trustman as a coach of the Year, Yeah,

367
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see that. I think Mark just

368
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: identifies with Trustman. I would. I would say that's a

369
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 1: valid statement that Mark looks at all the NFL coaches

370
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: and thinks Mark Trustman is the most like me. I

371
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: like him. I think you hit the nail on the

372
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: head with that one way. That's that's actually kind of offensive,

373
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: because I think Trustman is one of the creepier looking

374
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: guys that looks wise. I think their brains work the

375
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: same way. Oh and they also spell their names of

376
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: the CE Mark with the C right and you could

377
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: say that about a lot of journalists. I think like

378
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: Trustman for that reason too. I think he's he's unorthodox,

379
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: he's willing to think outside the box. And I think

380
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: people he said I identify with his circuitous route to

381
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: the NFL. I like that. Yes, as the mailman, you

382
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: can speak to make the route less traveled mail men

383
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: do know about route all right. So Crystal, Kay, Rich

384
00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 1: are you behind the glass? Hello? Guys, happy laboring on

385
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 1: Labor Day. You know, poor Crystal had to come in

386
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: she might is there's a theory bouncing around. The only

387
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: reason Crystal came in today is because she had to

388
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: because she had to produce our podcast. That is the

389
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: only reason, you guys know. I get dressed up every day.

390
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: She does day. I'm right with you, Dan, Really, I

391
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: can't tell. There's a little bit of a difference between

392
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: how I'm dressed and how you are, beyond the fact

393
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: that we are men and women. Um, alright, let's let's

394
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 1: hear a little news from Crystal. Crystal isn't trying to

395
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: grow a really weak beard. And with that, alright, first up,

396
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals signed five years. Yeah, but you get one

397
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: hair cut and now you can come after my beard.

398
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: They could have set you home for that your hair

399
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: for the past. I have this theory going for about

400
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: two decades now. It hasn't been scientifically proven. But when

401
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: on the day you get your hair cut, and probably

402
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: for another three or four days, you're the funniest guy

403
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: in the room. Weipping jokes around left and right? Why

404
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: why do you have that theory? Would feel good? You

405
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: look good? Oh? Yeah, that's fair. Although I feel like,

406
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: at least for me, kind of like the Jan Sanders,

407
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: you know motto for right, feel good, look good, play good,

408
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: and then get paid good. I feel like with a haircut,

409
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: mine usually take a week to kind of find themselves,

410
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: find their footing. Oh I can't identify with that. Yeah yeah,

411
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: but no, Greg, You're you look pretty sharp right now.

412
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: You're like a seven seven and a half minute. I

413
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Alright. Never realized when girls get haircuts. But

414
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: that's fine. Back to the new Did you get a haircut?

415
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: I did not? Did I know you guys wouldn't notice? Alright? Cool? Alright,

416
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: sorry to interrupt there, Chris, all you. That's all right.

417
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals signed a five year contract extension with Gino Atkins. Uh.

418
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: Let's see, should have been? Was he a finalist for

419
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year last year? Well they don't

420
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: do they have finals? I guess now with the NFL

421
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: Honors Awards, they kind of mentioned guys that were finalists. Basically,

422
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 1: it was a it was a wash for I mean,

423
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: it was gonna be J J W. I think Von

424
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 1: Miller got one vote as well. Yeah, what von Miller

425
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: and Gino Atkins I thought were easily the three best

426
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,640
Speaker 1: defenders in the NFL last year. Atkins just looked dominant,

427
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: especially down the stretch. The Bengals had possibly the NFL's

428
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: best defense from mid season on and and Atkins is

429
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: definitely the engine that drives that machine. They have one

430
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: of the best, most dominant defensive lines. Atkins just gets

431
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: unbelievable power and balance out of that body, and he's

432
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: always in the backfield. It was a no brainer signing

433
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: and he signed less for less than Hellodi Nada, so

434
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: it was a great deal for the Bengals. So what

435
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,479
Speaker 1: you're saying is that Mike Brown in the front office

436
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: of the Bengals do things the right ways. Ahead I

437
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: backed myself into a corn They did this thing the

438
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: right way. I mean, they've been drafting well, they're resigning

439
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: their key guys like Dunlap and Atkins, and I would

440
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: acknowledge over the public airwaves ever since Carson Palmer decided

441
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: that the Bengals were such a rotten organization that he

442
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't even play for fifteen million dollars Mike Brown has

443
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 1: made some great moves. He's been a wonderful GM and

444
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: owner for the last three or four years. We won't

445
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 1: talk about the last fifteen years before that. I'm standing

446
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: up right now, although I will say. I will say

447
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 1: that he did chicken out and take Andy Dalton over

448
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick. It could have been in a different world

449
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: if he did. I take back everything I said. A

450
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: lot of should have done that. He was rolling. Uh,

451
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: you're my don King. Yeah, I know, I shouldn't have

452
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: done that. I just like Atkins how he how he

453
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 1: walks whenever they have the hard knocks slow motion, he

454
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: kind of walks like a duck. Does not look like

455
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: the type of guy to be one of the most

456
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 1: dominant interior linement in football. Does not swim like a

457
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: guy that that you would think the international athlete? What else?

458
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: K Rich Alright, guys, next up, we're talking about the

459
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: quarterback carousel in New York. The Jets sign Brady Quinn

460
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: and dump Graham Harrold. No good now everything saw him though. Yeah,

461
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: this is when I think I think that says it all. Yeah,

462
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: I did. That's been as a nice headline. Today. Jets

463
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: signed handsome Comma bad QB to temporarily reply, is handsome,

464
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: Comma bad QB. Think that about sums it up? Is

465
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: that all we got? No? Pretty good? What else you got? Alright?

466
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: Last up, Washington Redskins hen coach Mike Shanahan says r

467
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: G three will start and they're opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.

468
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: I really have not this one. Yeah, we're gonna throw.

469
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: We don't have to do RG three injury updates anymore.

470
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: It's like groundhog Day when you hear uh, I got

471
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: you babe by Shunny Sunny and share, and we keep

472
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: on hearing the same story over and over again. But

473
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: this might be the last one. Right, this is the

474
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,959
Speaker 1: last Shannahan press conference. We're putting it to bed. It's

475
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: on the kibosh list. Well I mentioned earlier today. I

476
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: think this is the first story that NFL dot Com

477
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: an NFL network has ever gone breaking news with twice

478
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: with the exact same story. Didn't we do it? Didn't

479
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: we break this on Thursday or Friday? Too? We did? Actually? Yes,

480
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: It's sad that the Brady Quinn news I think was

481
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: more impactful than this one. Anything else? Do you have

482
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: anything else? Crystal? That's it for a day. No, well,

483
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: we're nice and quiet, a little quiet on the news front,

484
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: a little bit quiet out the news front that it

485
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: gives us more time to talk a little fantasy football.

486
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, nice transition. We got well fantasy. As I've

487
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: said before, I am in a room with two fantasy experts.

488
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: They don't like to call themselves experts, but they are.

489
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,919
Speaker 1: They were a stalwarts at rode A World. Greg was

490
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,120
Speaker 1: the boss, West was the Consigliari. Uh So, now let's

491
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: talk a little fantasy football. Greg, do you want to

492
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: start out with maybe one tip, now that the season

493
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: is officially four days away, one tip for fantasy players, well,

494
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: for people that are still drafting. I think there's such

495
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: a tendency to overrate what your team's gonna look like

496
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: in Week one and not think about long term. And

497
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: I was just in my draft last week, and no

498
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: one wanted to touch Gronkowski. I know you ended up

499
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 1: with him, Dan. No one wanted to touch Josh Gordon,

500
00:24:57,640 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: who's only going to be out two weeks. No one

501
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: wanted touch Santonio Homes. You know, probably for a few

502
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 1: different reasons there, but I took him in the fifteenth

503
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: round or something. And you know, he's a very talented

504
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: guy to be available that late. Lean Bell is another one.

505
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: And so if you're still drafting, or even if you

506
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: can pick up guys off waivers, I always think about

507
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,719
Speaker 1: what's the best team in November and December, and just

508
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: worry about that and assume you're going to get to

509
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Don't worry. You can fill in the rest

510
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 1: of the way. Worry about the guys at the end

511
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: of the season because guys like Gordon and Homes they're

512
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: going too late in draft. What do you think about that?

513
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: I agree totally. That's great advice. Um, I haven't noticed

514
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: people get too caught up in the first month of

515
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: the season and start panicking on trades. And then you

516
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: see guys that we may have hyped, you know, before

517
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: the seasons started, and they're saying, guys catch fire in

518
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: the second having carry teams to the title. Do not

519
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: over emphasize September and October. Yeah, and mine is more

520
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 1: I tied into Greg's point, which was, you know, people

521
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: get it all caught up with the news reports they

522
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 1: see and Gronk is the perfect example of this. Over

523
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: the summer when people are preparing for drafts its sund

524
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: like we would never see this guy again. But the

525
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: truth of the matter is that he's going to be

526
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: back by the end of September most likely. And this

527
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: is the greatest tight end on earth, you know. And

528
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: I think anybody that was able to get him in

529
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: the sixth round or seventh round or fifth round, as

530
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: I believe Mark and I did, and I believe Greg

531
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: you got him in that as well, you're gonna reap

532
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: the benefits of it. So all you really need is

533
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: that guy to carry carry you for three weeks. I

534
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: think Fred Davis is our carryover guy to get to Gronk.

535
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: The only thing I will say, and now we're not

536
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 1: even talking about tips, but the only thing I'm nervous

537
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 1: about with Gronk is how do we know that guy

538
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 1: is gonna stay healthy? You know? In that in that

539
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: playoff game, he came back, he hit the hit the turf,

540
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 1: and he broke that arm again. So make sure you

541
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: handcuff a guy like Ronk or any of these guys.

542
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: That one thing fantasy anders should know is there's risk

543
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 1: involved with every single player. Yeah, I remember I got

544
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: a tweet a couple of weeks ago when the Jerom

545
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: Felton suspension came out. How does this affect Adrian Peterson's value?

546
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 1: And I thought, well, you should probably trade him away

547
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: for another less talented running back that has another concern.

548
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: Every every player's got concerned, So don't worry about it

549
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: too much. Just go with the guy with the highest upside.

550
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: Gronkowski is practicing. I mean, there's another news item to

551
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: me that is is pretty significant. On Sunday, he's in

552
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: his full pads. On Monday, he's in full pads again.

553
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: He's on he's doing eleven on eleven. Belichick will only

554
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: say he's day to day, but everything is trendy and

555
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 1: right now towards I don't think he'll be back week one,

556
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: but it's possible week two or week three at this point.

557
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna put both you guys on the spot

558
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: a little bit because you are experts. Um, if let's

559
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 1: let's talk right now. Everyone has their teams for the

560
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: most part, or they better. Uh my my wife's got

561
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: are all ladies draft on Tuesday night. It's a great

562
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: time for gorgeous ladies of fantasy right behind. I love it. Yeah,

563
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,479
Speaker 1: this is the best week for drafting. Yeah, well, this

564
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: is the perfect time because you know everything that's in

565
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: front of you. But my question you guys is who

566
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: would be one guy that might be on the waiver

567
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: wire that you should go and grab. Waiver wire? Yeah,

568
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: a free agent pile. I saw Isaiah Pede was on

569
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: my waiver wire, and if no one listens to this before,

570
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go pick him up just because

571
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: I like him as a deep guy. But right now

572
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, guys aren't gonna be too exciting. I've

573
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: got a guy for your watch list. I wouldn't pick

574
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: this guy up in redraft leagues. Um, if you're in

575
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: a dynasty league or even in the re draft league,

576
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: just keep this guy in the back of your mind.

577
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 1: Marlon Brown from the Ravens undrafted rookie UH at Georgia

578
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: last year. They expected him to do great things and

579
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: he tore his a c L. He's got size, athletic ability, speed.

580
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: In preseason the last two weeks I saw him make

581
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: more plays and I've seen from Tandon Dawson two years.

582
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: I think he's better right now than Jacoby Jones is.

583
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: He may take him a few weeks, but it would

584
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 1: not surprise me to see him starting opposite Tory Smith

585
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: by Halloween or so. So he is the underrated kind

586
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: of overlooked KEMBERL. Tompkins, same sort of idea, is there

587
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: anybody is there? What about a Jermaine curses that a

588
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: guy to get excited about is here? In the classic

589
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: summer hype up job. I like him better for the

590
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: Seahawks than fantasy football players. They still have Golden Taton

591
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 1: Sidney Rice is their top two targets in the passing game,

592
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,080
Speaker 1: and they're still going to be one of the run

593
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: heaviest offenses in the league. I mean, if you were

594
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: looking for a flyer out of that division at that

595
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 1: same position, Quittin Patton is a better one because he

596
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten a lot of attention, but going into the

597
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: draft people really excited. We're excited about him. He has

598
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: a clearly defined skill set. He's probably gonna be their

599
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: vertical guy, and he might be their starter in Week one.

600
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 1: Isn't that possible? Totally? He has to beat out Marlon Moore.

601
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: He can't do that, and I think that's and he's

602
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: on the waiver wire. I need to uh add my fantasy.

603
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: That was it? Well, let's have a couple. Oh well,

604
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: I can give you some names too. But here's a

605
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: rule I've been using. I've been doing fantasy football for

606
00:29:56,520 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 1: about twenty years. Never draft a wide receiver three you

607
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: and it kind of is just a philosophy that extends

608
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: to your whole roster. Why draft a guy who's an

609
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: established mediocrity aim higher, draft too wide receiver twos or

610
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: three wide receiver ones. Don't draft a wide receiver three

611
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: and accept mediocrity. Mediocrity, you can get just as good

612
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: as a player off the waiver wire. So don't go

613
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: get I'm gonna say, like a Nate Washington or something

614
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 1: like that. Don't Yeah, don't do it. They're too easy

615
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: to come by. Go get to go get Steve Smith

616
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: sitting there, who is a legitimate number one receiver and

617
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: his a DP is somewhere around the twenty six wide receiver.

618
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: Draft him, and then you've got two wide receiver twos.

619
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,959
Speaker 1: And this extends the running backs to do not go

620
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: get Darryl Richardson. You don't want him. You don't want him.

621
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: I don't know why people are falling all over themselves

622
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: for a committee back who was undersized and you know,

623
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: doesn't move that latterly, Well, I just don't see why

624
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: people are falling all over themselves for these guys who

625
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: are getting drafted way too high. Use the waiver wire.

626
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: Take a guy like a Bryce Brown, Bernard Pierce. Uh,

627
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: Let's see Roy Halloo, Christine, Kristen Michael. If the starter

628
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: goes down and these guys go in there, you have

629
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: an automatic top fifteen running back as opposed to these

630
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 1: bums you're drafting and expecting to start. See. This is

631
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: the type of insight that we were looking for, and

632
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: it it ties back to our friend Rum for Johnny

633
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: on Twitter who who tweeted today? I really wish at

634
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: Chris Westling and at Greg Rosenthal would storm the Fantasy

635
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: Live set wearing n w O T shirts. It's a

636
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: little call back to Turn of the Millennium Wrestling, but

637
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 1: there could be some heat building right now. Well, I

638
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: feel like this should happen. Now. You're gonna get us

639
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: in trouble. Dan, can I bring a folding chair? I

640
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: think that's what the n w A dudes did right

641
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: There were no rules. Um, okay, so guys, that is

642
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: the end of the podcast. I believe we have on

643
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 1: Wednesday's a big tip my tip. Why would you want

644
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: my tip because I know I'm not ready to give

645
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: another one. Actually, Greg kind of stepped on wine, so

646
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: I couldn't really elaborate on it too much. Well, Chris

647
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 1: is that he hates Darryl Richardson? Was there a bigger

648
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: thever you just never draft wide receiver three? Wait? What,

649
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: I actually have a question. I forgot about that theory. Sorry, Dan,

650
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: I know you just want to get out of here.

651
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: Wes Welker is a number three receiver, I mean a

652
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: fantasy wide receiver three. These wide receivers like when you

653
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: when you start your lineup and you say, oh, this

654
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: guy's a wide receiver one, this guy's a wide receiver two,

655
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: this guy's wide receiver three. It's more like, don't I

656
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: used to call him the Shaan Dawkins All Stars. These

657
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: guys that get eight hundred yards and four t d

658
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: s every year and they still get drafted in your draft.

659
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: Why draft them? Let someone else take them, and if

660
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 1: you need them, they'll be on the waiver wire in

661
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: in Week three. So I think there was some confusion there,

662
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: and you're right, take the guy that has a chance

663
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: to be a top ten player instead of if he

664
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: does what he's expected be a thirty right, and you know,

665
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: even with and Kwan Bolden being the number one receiver

666
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: for the forty niners. To me, he's a he's an

667
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: established wide receiver. Three. He's not a guy I would

668
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: draft because we know what he is. He's eight hundred

669
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: nine hundred yards inconsistent all year. You don't know whether

670
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: to start him this week or not. That's more headache

671
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: than it's worth. You're gonna lose because you're gonna start

672
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: him the wrong week. Alright, good stuff, experts Um. Wednesday,

673
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: we have a big show. By the way, we're making

674
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: our Super Bowl predictions and uh, I don't know if

675
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna be surprises in the room, probably not, because

676
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: we already announced them on our website. But we will

677
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: defend them and we'll talk about that and then we'll

678
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: be one day away from the season, so we'll have

679
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: all the news leading up to the opener Um. Until then,

680
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: we have thank you to uh k Rich behind the glass.
