1 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we're confirming all our priors 2 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:17,079 Speaker 1: during preseason week two, I'm Greg Rosenthal. Yeah, it was 3 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: a Drake May night in the NFL Patriots and Eagles, 4 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 1: the only preseason game on tonight. I'm going to go 5 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 1: over a few takeaways from that game before I throw 6 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: it to something I did earlier in the day with 7 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: Evan Silva. That's most of the show, all the offensive 8 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: defensive players that we feel differently about after the first 9 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: few weeks of training camp and the preseason. It was 10 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: a great conversation with one of my favorite people in 11 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: the business, Evan Silva. But before that, yeah, it was 12 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,200 Speaker 1: Drake Maynight on NFL Network. I swear as that Scott 13 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,959 Speaker 1: Zolac gets more airtime in August than like anyone on 14 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: our network. And that was fun, and the Drake May 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: performance was fun. So seven quick takeaways from the Patriots Eagles, 16 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: and I'll go through it quick because May was the 17 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: big one. He flashed. There were moments, there were probably 18 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,960 Speaker 1: not enough sustained moments for him to truly push Jacoby 19 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: Brissett like he could have, because there was an opportunity there. 20 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett left the door open for this quarterback competition 21 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: to become more of a competition. We'll get to Jacoby 22 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: in a second. But I don't think May was consistent enough. 23 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: But there were moments. First drive, field goal drive, had 24 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 1: a nice in breaker on a third and ten where 25 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: he gets to a secondary read. Brian Hoyer on the 26 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: broadcast pointed out this was a play he feel like 27 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: he got wrong taking the shorter route during their joint practices. 28 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: He gets it right in the game. A lot of heat, 29 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: beautiful pass over the middle, love, It was changing plays 30 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: a lot. He gets a touchdown drive in his second drive, 31 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: and that's after Brissett gets no points in three drives. 32 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 1: And that touchdown drive features Drake May's athleticism on a 33 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 1: read option touchdown. Patriots to get the head ball. It's 34 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: gotta get you filling, good look confidence. First NFL touchdown 35 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: drive for Drake Bay. You could tell like they're just 36 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: they're just hoping for some sort of hope because it's 37 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: been a rough preseason, a rough training camp in terms 38 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: of the practices for this offense. And yeah, Drake May 39 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: showing a little bit of shine and honestly, his best 40 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: two throws of the entire night. Were incomplete. They were 41 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: both to Javon Baker. One where Javon Baker got squeezed 42 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: to the sideline, couldn't make a catch, couldn't get back 43 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: in bounds, but a nice go ball by May, and 44 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: then a beautiful pass in the second half that would 45 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: have been about forty yards again on a third and 46 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: long that Baker couldn't haul in. So there were the flashes, 47 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: but there was also stagnation. There was a fumbled snap, 48 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: there was May taking a while to get through his reads. 49 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: They didn't move the ball in the second half when 50 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: he did get it, and you could see things were 51 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: just happening slowly for him. So I don't think it 52 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: was enough to put pressure on, but it was good 53 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: to see. I think for the Foxborough crowd, Drake may 54 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: have some moments and look, they're going to put him 55 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: in more quickly if Jacoby Brissett keeps making mental errors, 56 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 1: which he has a few times in practices and certainly 57 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: in this game. That's my second point. Jacoby Brissett was 58 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: bad in this game, three of seven for seventeen yards. 59 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: In interception where he was late in the red zone, 60 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: he maybe thought Austin Hooper the tight end was going 61 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: to go one way, he went another, but he missed 62 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: on another sideline route and he didn't feel comfortable because 63 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: the tackles are just terrible. Chooks A Corps four and 64 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: Verderian Lowe are their two tackles, and it's the worst 65 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: tackle situation in the league, and it's looked bad in 66 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: camp and it's not getting any better. And so that 67 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 1: was part of the reason Jacoby Brissett looked bad, although 68 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: even when he was protected, he looked a little frantic. 69 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: Not a lot of drives there for Brissett. But it's 70 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: just it's hard right now to find a lot of 71 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: optimism with this offense. But if Brissett doesn't take care 72 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: of the ball, Drake May will get called earlier in 73 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: the season. The other points from this game were more 74 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: secondary players. Number three is that Tanner McKee is clearly 75 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: the better quarterback backing up Jalen Hurts than Kenny Pickett. 76 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: Like call the fight, I've seen enough. Tanner McKee probably 77 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,080 Speaker 1: had most of the best throws of the night. Drake 78 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: May had a couple. Tanner McKee had even more of 79 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: these outbreaking routes early in the game. Late he led 80 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: a late comeback. It was fourteen to thirteen, and they 81 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: weren't easy throws and Kenny Pickett just looks totally lost. 82 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: They gave up a decent draft pick to move up 83 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,159 Speaker 1: to get Kenny Pickett. You know, they moved back in 84 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 1: the draft to get Kenny Pickett. Nineteen dropbacks forty nine yards. 85 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: He averaged under one yard guard in terms of air 86 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: yards per completion in this game. Just kind of a 87 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: disaster for Kenny Pickett. That backs up what everyone has 88 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: been seeing at practice. It backed up the last preseason game. 89 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: I think this has to be Tanner McKee's job beyond 90 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: that for the Eagles, I thought it was nice. Bryce 91 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: Huff had a good night. He's their big ticket pass 92 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: rusher who's reportedly at a pretty quiet camp. It was 93 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: interesting he was the only starter of the defensive linemen 94 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: that we're out there. That shows they're looking for a 95 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: little more from him, and he had a great night. 96 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: In the couple series that he played. The Eagles lost 97 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,360 Speaker 1: one of their key rotational guards, probably their top backup, 98 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: Tyler Steen. That's going to mean that Mackai Becton is 99 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: getting that starting job. Interesting reclamation project. Beckdon, former top 100 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: ten pick now a starting guard for the Eagles. He 101 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: was a tackle for the Jets. For the Patriots, all 102 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: eyes were also on their pass rush after they got 103 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: rid of Matthew jud and I I realized, you know, 104 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: when we talked about that trade, I didn't talk about 105 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: who's still there for the Patriots. They have enough edge rushers. 106 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: Kean White is a player. Josh uch comes in on 107 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: third downs. He can get you off the spot. Deetchich 108 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,559 Speaker 1: Wise has been around there for a while, and Forredny 109 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: Jennings was pretty active in this game. And even Rawan McMillan, 110 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: who's a linebacker, played some edge. The Patriots don't have 111 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: problems on defense. They need Christian Barmore to get on 112 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,120 Speaker 1: the field and that might not happen because of these 113 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: blood clots. But I think they could afford to give 114 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: up Matthew jud On. I think that trade ultimately made 115 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: sense for both sides, especially because that's an area of strength. 116 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: There's just not many areas of strength on the offense. 117 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: They have a lot of receivers, but none of them 118 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: have really stepped up, and they didn't play the rookies. 119 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Poke and then Javon Baker with the starters very often. 120 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: Poke took a while to come in. He did make 121 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: a couple of plays, so that was good to see. 122 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: All right, those are my seven points from Patriots. He 123 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: goes probably too many. One last item of news that 124 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: we didn't hit with Evan later in the show is 125 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: that Justin Simmons is officially in Atlanta Falcon So they 126 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: have gone big on signing veteran defensive players, Justin Simmons, 127 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 1: who was last with the Broncos, and then of course 128 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: trading for Matthew Judon. Supposedly they're not going to give 129 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: Judon any more money. They gave Simmons a lot of money, 130 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: seven and a half million, which is a lot this 131 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: late in free agency. He is a quality safety and 132 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: suddenly that defense, which I had so many questions about, 133 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: I have fewer questions now. I think it's still thin 134 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 1: at a few positions, cornerbacks, certainly, linebacker, they're still thin 135 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: at edge even with Judn. But they look a lot 136 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: better than they did a couple of days ago. And 137 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: if you want to tell me they're the favorites in 138 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: the NFC South, I get it now. Because that defensive 139 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: talent added to Raheem Morris's coaching. The Falcons are going 140 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: for it this year. They realize Kirk Cousins in this window, 141 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: they got to try to win now. You give that 142 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: much money to Kirk Cousins, even though you have Pennix 143 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: there like it's a win now season and they are 144 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: acting like. I like those moves for the Falcons. I 145 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: also like this conversation coming up with Silva. And yeah, 146 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: this is week six of NFL Daily.

But yeah, I'm actually considering bringing 170 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: you on as a consulting producer, Silva, because you had 171 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: so many good items of feedback of who's a good guest, 172 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: who's not you know, stuff like that. Keep that to yourself. 173 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: I know, I just set Evan Silva up, which is just. 174 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 2: A paid job, right, This would be a paid. 175 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: Job that would be Yes, yes, we're looking into it. 176 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm really excited to have Evan on this show. 177 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: It is fantasy football season, but Silva is just a 178 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: great football mind in general. And what we're going to 179 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: do today, most of them are going to have fantasy 180 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: football implications. Absolutely, some may not, but it doesn't matter. 181 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: It all is good info. It's gonna be players especially, 182 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: but if you want to throw teams in there that 183 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: we feel differently about good and bad since the beginning 184 00:09:56,559 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: of training camp, so people that we've changed their minds 185 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: or we've adjusted what we felt about since the beginning 186 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 1: of training camp. I'm going to start off just because 187 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 1: we're taping this Thursday, and there was one big item 188 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: of news on Thursday and I did want to hit it. 189 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: So I'm more down on the Bills defense right now. 190 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: And then I was going into Thursday because Matt Milano 191 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: tore his biceps, and so that's just an item I 192 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: did want to get into the show. You talked about 193 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: building Silva. I mean, that's what we ultimately came up 194 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: with in Rotor World. We love trying to analyze this 195 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: news and it's funny. Joe Bisaglia, who's one of the 196 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: best beat writers in the business for The Athletic, wrote 197 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: a piece recently of the most irreplaceable bills on the 198 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 1: entire roster, and he said Milana would have been number 199 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: two if Milano actually looked quite as spry and quick 200 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: in camp as he usually did, and he wasn't seeing 201 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: that yet and he was still in the top five. 202 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: But man, this is a guy that's going to be 203 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: really hard to replace. And someone I think of Chris 204 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: Westling when I think Matt Milano because he was such 205 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: a Wes favorite. West was so good at spotting guys 206 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: really loved rangy linebackers, and he said this guy changes 207 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 1: their defense more than anyone way back when Milana was 208 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: a rookie and then a second year player. And so 209 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: I love thinking about the west guys, and I'm really 210 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: disappointed because otherwise I was feeling good about this defense. 211 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 1: But this, to me is a downer. 212 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: It really hurts. It really hurts the Bills. You know, 213 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 2: I write a matchups column every week which tries to 214 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 2: get to the nitty gritty of how personnel losses, additions, etc. 215 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 2: Can affect the actual game and the production of offensive 216 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 2: skill position players from a fantasy standpoint, and Matt Mlano 217 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: affects it for tight ends in particular, because the Bills 218 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 2: would often use Matt Milano in man coverage against tight ends. 219 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 2: All of a sudden, you know, the Bills are a 220 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 2: team to attack with opposing tight ends and that's going 221 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 2: to hurt up the scene. 222 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, Dorian Williams from Tulane Bosley having a decent camp. 223 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,080 Speaker 1: He was probably LB four or five last year. He's 224 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: probably the starter there. Otherwise, there's been some positives out 225 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: of camp. Kyrie Elams had a pretty good camp. It 226 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: sounds like to me they're pretty deep at cornerback. Von 227 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: Miller at least isn't looking terrible. So I'm looking forward 228 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: to that. And I did want to point out Milano 229 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: could be back this season. He might return in December 230 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: with a torn biceps. You have a chance, and maybe 231 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,199 Speaker 1: that gives him time to keep rehabbing the leg and 232 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: get faster there. So that's a positive. And one let's 233 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 1: go to Let's go to Selvill, Let's go to the 234 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 1: big man. 235 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 2: I like to think if you called me a brilliant 236 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: football mind at the top, because I'm going to really 237 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 2: break your heart here. And one of the biggest risers 238 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: obviously has been Sam Darnald in the year of Our 239 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: Lord it again Donald Sam donald S z N is 240 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 2: on JJ McCarthy for this season. Look at your face. 241 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,320 Speaker 1: Well, I'm just going just for the listeners you were 242 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: on the around the NFL podcast a couple of years 243 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: ago now, and you had Donald going into a Panthers 244 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: year I think as your biggest sleeper year where he 245 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: was the week one starter, You're number one sleeper, and 246 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 1: I got so I was so against that opinion that 247 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: it actually caused an issue between me and you, Like 248 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 1: you seemed pretty upset about it. Cut to like weeks later, 249 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: Donald has like a halfway decent game, and You're like 250 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: sending me angry texts. I'm with my daughter at like 251 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: a school festival. I'm like, the you know, the wheel, 252 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: what do they call that. 253 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, it specifically told you that it's time to retire. 254 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: Yes, I'm on the fairest wheel with my daughter and 255 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: you're sending me texts that it's time to retire. And 256 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, what the hell is up with this guy? 257 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: And now you're starting with Donald again. I love it. 258 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: I love this stubbornness. 259 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 2: I'm in from fantasy football analysis, not like football analysis anyways. 260 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,319 Speaker 2: Sam Darnold enters this situation where he has Justin Jefferson. 261 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,079 Speaker 2: Jordan Addison is probably going to be available for the 262 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 2: vast majority of the season. TJ. Hockinson. Eventually we'll be 263 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,359 Speaker 2: back the Vikings played the vast majority of their games indoors. 264 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell has proven to be in I think an 265 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 2: elite offensive. Mind. You look at guys like Josh Dobbs 266 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 2: getting him off the street essentially coming and having big 267 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 2: games Nick Mullens in this same offense at a four 268 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 2: touchdown game over four hundred passing yards. The quarterback here 269 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: is set up for success, whether it be JJ McCarthy 270 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 2: or Sam Donald. Sam Donald will break your heart, you know. 271 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: I actually compare him as a player to Jamis Winston, 272 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 2: like he will have big time flash plays and he 273 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 2: will break your heart. I think he's going to be 274 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 2: really productive though this season. I'm looking at this primarily 275 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: from a fantasy standpoint, and I think that Sam Donald 276 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: has a chance to be like a top twelve scorer, 277 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 2: assuming that he can keep the job, which I think 278 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: that he will, because he set up for success. 279 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,600 Speaker 1: Like I explained, I'll surprise you and say I have 280 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: no issue with that, because I'm sure you're getting him 281 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: as like a QB two late fantasy wise, he's the 282 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: only guy there. There's no competition. They're never going to 283 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: Nick Mullins, They're never going to Jaron Hall, even if 284 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: he makes some mistakes that cost them games and you 285 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: can't trust him over the long hunt run, this is 286 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: by far his best situation. I think the year with 287 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan helps him. I don't hate it. I'm actually 288 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: I think he's going to be closer, maybe not statistically 289 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: to Teddy Bridgewater with Sean Payon, but just in my head, 290 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: he'll be better. I think Darnold statistically than Teddy Bridgewater 291 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: with Sean Payton, but I think that's a similar type 292 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: of situation where it's a guy that I'm not a 293 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 1: you know, maybe not above league average as a starter, 294 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: but in the right situation with the right coach, going 295 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: to get it done. I'm gonna stay negative because I 296 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: know you told me you're going all positive almost and 297 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go with a team that I feel 298 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: more down on than when I started camp. And this 299 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 1: does have fantasy implications. It's the Dolphins offense. It's their 300 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: offensive line in general. Henry Hodgson, Handsome Hank tip me 301 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: off to this Dolphins podcast three Yards per Carry. They're great. 302 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: They really have eyes on every single snap at every practice. 303 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: They're not just homers, but they really know this team, 304 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 1: and they're so worried about this offensive line and they're 305 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: very positive about everything else, but they just seen it 306 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 1: day after day after days. It's just a mess. Like, 307 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: is Toront Armstead and Isaiah win Ever gonna play consistently? 308 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 1: Who knows Armstead is supposed to be their best player? 309 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 1: Like you're hoping for eight games? Aaron Brewer their center, 310 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: who's a little undersized they give money to, he's out. 311 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: You put Liam Eichenberg back at center? The guards? Who knows? 312 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: Like the depth, who knows You're hearing these joint practices 313 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: with Washington doesn't sound like it's going well. And yeah, 314 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: I do think this is gonna lower the ceiling of 315 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: the team in general. So that's Tua and it's Tyreek Hill. 316 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: And just as a little side point with this, I 317 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: don't get Devon h Chan going as high as he 318 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: does in fantasy drafts. There's just too many other good players. 319 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: So seeing how explosive Jalen Wright look, knowing how good 320 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: raheem moster it is. That was one where I'm not 321 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: into it like you are every day, Evan. When I 322 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: open the ADP in August and hm that i I'm 323 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: like there's no freaking way. I don't get it. I 324 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: love him as a player, but there's too many other 325 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: good players there. 326 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: That's interesting because my high ranking of Devon Devon h 327 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 2: chan Is has something to do with Chris Westling. 328 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: Hm hmm, I love it. 329 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 2: He reminds me somewhat of Chris Johnson, who do you remember. 330 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 2: I mean, Chris Westling would write love letters, first of 331 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: all to Percy Harvin, but also to Chris Johnson back 332 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 2: in the day. I mean he was the leader in 333 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 2: the clubhouse of the Chris Johnson hype train. Do you 334 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 2: remember that? 335 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: I do? And yeah, for new listeners, and we've had 336 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,119 Speaker 1: a lot of new listeners for nfl DA. I love that. 337 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: And so I shouldn't just assume you know my history 338 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: with Silva. He was the key guy at road the 339 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: world with me way back in the day, and Chris Westling, 340 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 1: our great friend, came along right after him, and it 341 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: was really the three of us getting it done. And 342 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,239 Speaker 1: I would go as far as to say, I'm not 343 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: saying Chris Johnson made Chris Westling, because Chris Wesley made 344 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 1: Chris Wesley. But in terms of a fantasy take, he 345 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: was so far out on the ledge that this guy 346 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: is gonna be like the number one guy and he 347 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,359 Speaker 1: was ahead of everyone in the industry that that was 348 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,360 Speaker 1: to take everyone literally remembers. So I'm with you, and 349 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: I think it's a good comp Hchan and Chris Johnson. 350 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: Like the Titans had Lendale White, Yeah that's fair. Time 351 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 2: was like a big factor at least on paper. And 352 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 2: the Dolphins have Raheem Moster, and I think that, you know, 353 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: Raheem Moster is to Lendale White as Chris Johnson is 354 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,880 Speaker 2: to Devon h Chan. Okay, a West based take there, and. 355 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: You know what that's going with how I usually do fantasy, 356 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: which just worry about the talent first in the situation. Second, 357 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: I'm just worried about the situation, like I said, with 358 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 1: the offensive line. And also, yeah, I think this Jalen 359 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,399 Speaker 1: Right kid looks really a problem. He's really talented. All right, 360 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: give me give me another. 361 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 2: You like Javonte Williams, So I entered. I went into 362 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 2: training camp. Well, I really like Audric watched him a 363 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: ton at Notre Dame. He's a big back who can 364 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 2: bang long runs. 365 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: I loll the running backs for the Broncos. I've been 366 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: told by the listeners. Sometimes I just mention these players 367 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: and assume they know who they are. Both running backs 368 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: for the Broncos. 369 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 2: My bad. Aldric estimate fifth round pick of the Broncos, 370 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 2: really liked him as a college player. Didn't like what 371 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,520 Speaker 2: I saw from Javonte Williams last season average three point 372 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 2: two yards per carry, but was coming off of a 373 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: multi knee ligament tear. Shows up to training camp. He 374 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: is in tip top condition like Sean Payton's, like he 375 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 2: changed his body. Audric Estima has the knee scope in 376 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 2: the offseason, and then in his first preseason game loses 377 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: a fumble that is returned for a touchdown and Sean 378 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,879 Speaker 2: Payton talks about it after the game. Aldric Estima is 379 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 2: like buried in the doghouse at this point. Somaj p 380 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 2: Ryan could be cut. Jalil McLoughlin weighs one hundred and 381 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 2: eighty pounds. I think Javonte Williams is going to get 382 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 2: like three hundred touches this season. Trump Payton historically has 383 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 2: always had very efficient running games. Jamant Williams can catch 384 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 2: the football. He's a guy who I recently moved up 385 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 2: in my rankings. I want to draft them this year. 386 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: Love that, and love guys that have shown at least 387 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: at one point that they can be difference makers, and 388 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,160 Speaker 1: for whatever reason in this case it was injury, they didn't. 389 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: And that's what you can learn in the preseason. You 390 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: can get eyes on you can hear the repeat reporters, 391 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: get eyes on it, and then you can get eyes 392 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 1: on them. You're right, he looked absolutely different. I think 393 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: if they like the other guys, that there'd be like 394 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: a non zero chance that he'd be a candidate to 395 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 1: get traded to like the Cowboys stand out, But that 396 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: wouldn't be a bad thing for him either. So either 397 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,160 Speaker 1: way it would be a good thing. You know, maybe 398 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: they'll showcase him. He's someone who watch this weekend. 399 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 2: I think that might have been a possibility at one point. 400 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 2: I think it's not anymore, especially after the estimate fumble. 401 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: That's fair. I'll go positive. Let's go Bucks offense because 402 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,439 Speaker 1: I like being surprised. Just I think this is more 403 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 1: just more I've thought about it, but it's also have 404 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: been reading the reports out there, Graham Barton. Their new 405 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: center looks really good, and I think the offensive line 406 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: is one of the most more trustworthy groups in the League, 407 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 1: which you couldn't have said a couple of years ago. 408 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: I'm kind of buying Chris Godwin as a true slot 409 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 1: guy in them having two interesting options with Trey Palmer 410 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: and McMillan on the outside, And then I liked what 411 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: I saw out of Bucky Irving. So I'm just sort 412 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: of buying as a football fan, the Bucks offense is 413 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: better and just deeper than people realize. 414 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like the general consensus is that the 415 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 2: Bucks are probably going to regress after they exceeded expectations 416 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 2: last season. But I mean, I think their offensive line, 417 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: Mike Evans belongs in the Hall of Fame, Chris Godwin 418 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 2: belongs in the slot. You know, they lost Dave Canalis. 419 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,120 Speaker 2: I think that most people think that they're going to regress, 420 00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 2: But so I think that that is a little bit 421 00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 2: of a controversial or contrarian take. The Bucks could actually 422 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 2: take another step forward. 423 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think. I think I'm just like trying to 424 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: figure out a reason not to pick the Falcons and 425 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 1: Saints because I'm just not feeling them. But I think 426 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: there are really good reasons it. Fantasy wise, maybe they'll 427 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: all eat into each other a little bit. But Irving 428 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 1: looked good. He was kind of part of a nice 429 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: mid round rookie showing in the first preseason week. All right, 430 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: the Bucks one team feeling differently about liking them more 431 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: after a couple weeks of training camp. We're going to 432 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: take a quick break and then we'll come back with 433 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,400 Speaker 1: some teams, some players that like more, like a little 434 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: less after what we've seen so far in August. All right, 435 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: give me another. 436 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 2: Khalil Shakir, who is a player that you know, when 437 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: I was looking at when I was assessing the Bills 438 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 2: pass catcher corps. You know, no Stefan Diggs, no Gabe Davis. 439 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 2: When I was assessing their past catcher corps is a 440 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 2: unit entering training camp. I was thinking, Oh, it's just 441 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 2: going to be a bunch of role players. Kalil Shakir, 442 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 2: Curtis Samuel Kean Coleman might emerge as the number one eventually, 443 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 2: but probably not out of the gate. You know, Dalton 444 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 2: coin kin Kai probably takes a step forward, but how 445 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 2: much can he really if he's only playing seventy percent 446 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: of the snaps and sharing a little bit with Dawson Knox. 447 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 2: But you know, I was actually listening to one of 448 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 2: your shows, and you brought up the possibility that Khalil 449 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: Shakir could be a ninety to one hundred catch player, 450 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 2: and then he saw the way that he was utilized 451 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 2: in the first preseason game, Like he is clearly the 452 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 2: Bill's number one receiver in terms of playing time snaps. 453 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,120 Speaker 2: I think he's really good and he can win inside 454 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 2: and out, primarily inside, I think, And he also has 455 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: that established rapport with Josh Allen. He's the guy who 456 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 2: I moved up my ranking Sea. I have n't his 457 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 2: wide receiver forty nine in Fantasy right now, But before 458 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:55,360 Speaker 2: I was like really on the fence, like I don't 459 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 2: think he's going to make a difference. I actually think 460 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: he can make a difference. 461 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: Did I help influence that? Yes? Yes, it's like the 462 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: old days on AOL instant messenger, me and you going 463 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: back and forth. I love it. Yeah. I didn't pull 464 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,880 Speaker 1: that number out of nowhere either. I kind of looked 465 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,679 Speaker 1: at when Cole Beasley was at his peak there. He 466 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: was in his thirties already and he was catching eighty 467 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 1: five eighty two balls there. So I just thinks he 468 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: passes the iteest. To me, he's their best receiver. And 469 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: the way they ran that offense too. When they change coordinators, 470 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: it's going to go through the middle. I feel bad 471 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 1: keep being negative, but since you're going all positive, this 472 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: will be just a quick one. Joe Mixon, he always 473 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: shows up to the beginning of the season the last 474 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: couple of years with his great burst and you're like, Oh, 475 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: that's the Joe Mixon I want, and then as the 476 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: season wears on, he just doesn't have the juice anymore. 477 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: It's usually because of injuries, and now he started this 478 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: camp with injuries. I know he's back on the field 479 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: this week, and that plus the Damien Pierce revival, the 480 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: renaissance season that I could see coming. I had someone 481 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 1: it was Steve Weisch who was down at Texans camp, 482 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 1: and he just talked about how the coaches were raving 483 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: how Pierce just couldn't figure out the system last year. 484 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,719 Speaker 1: He just couldn't. He just it wasn't a gap runner, 485 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 1: didn't have the instincts for it, just didn't get it. 486 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,159 Speaker 1: And they provided him a few different keys, and for 487 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: whatever reason this offseason it clicked where he now knows 488 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: what two things to look for from his blockers, how 489 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: to hug the blockers and then just hit it and 490 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 1: they're just like, oh, now he gets it. He just 491 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 1: didn't get it, he didn't fit, and now he does. 492 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: And so I'd almost rather have Damian Pierce than Joe Mixon. 493 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: But I definitely would rather have him for whatever price 494 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: he's going for with the very end of draft. 495 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have Damian Pierce as one of the top 496 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 2: handcuffs in all of fantasy. And it's interesting that you 497 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 2: mentioned could he actually overtake Joe? The Texans gave Joe 498 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 2: Mixon a decent chunck of change after they got him. 499 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: It would probably take injuries you write injuries and just 500 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: like having to play through injury and really not looking good. 501 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: But to me, that's a very realistic. 502 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 2: But yeah, Bobby the Texans offensive coordinator, has been very 503 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,239 Speaker 2: outspoken about how impressed he's been with Damian Pearson. They 504 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 2: didn't go get anybody else. They drafted Juwar Jordan in 505 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,359 Speaker 2: the sixth round. They added Cam Akers, but you know, 506 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 2: they didn't go actively seek any other rbs. So they're 507 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 2: definitely given Damian Pierce this chance, and I think he's 508 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 2: running away with it. My next guy is Rashi Rice, 509 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 2: in part because Hollywood Brown is probably going to miss 510 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 2: two to three games to begin the season. We're talking 511 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,920 Speaker 2: about Chiefs receivers here, but also because I heard independently 512 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: that Andy Reid believes that Rashi Rice will either receive 513 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 2: no suspension stemming from his offseason arrest or at most 514 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 2: he would receive a two game suspension, and people were 515 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,480 Speaker 2: I mean, there was a lot of trepidation about drafting 516 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: Rashi Rice in early fantasy drafts because everyone thought, oh, man, 517 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 2: could he get a six or eight game suspension. Now 518 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 2: it looks like it's going to be zero or two tops. 519 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: And we saw what Rashid Rice was capable of as 520 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 2: a rookie, and then you add in the injury to 521 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 2: Marquise Brown, and I mean, he's a guy who could 522 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 2: be a top twelve fantasy receiver this season. 523 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy to think that the Chiefs offense has 524 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: a lot of room for growth, but they do like 525 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 1: they can be more explosive. He was someone that I 526 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,639 Speaker 1: think improved his versatility throughout the course of the season, 527 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: So he's going to be more than just a one 528 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: trick pony. As we've gotten closer to the season, I'm 529 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: just assuming, Yeah, this thing might not happen Silva in 530 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: that maybe it even happens next year, like that happens 531 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: sometimes with the NFL, and so you don't have to 532 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: worry about that. In fantasy dress, I'll go with a 533 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 1: guy I feel higher on than when I entered training camp. 534 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 1: And this is specifically fantasy because I already thought really 535 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: highly of Chris o'labby just as a player, but being 536 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: down there at training camp talking to some people around 537 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: the team, hearing from Olabby himself, I don't think he's 538 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: satisfied with where he is in the NFL pecking order. 539 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: I think he knows where he's viewed, and I think 540 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: he believes that he should be a elite tier wide receiver. 541 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: And that's great. A lot of receivers say that, but 542 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: he has a more chill attitude if you ever hear 543 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,720 Speaker 1: him talk, and just how he operates, and the team 544 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,439 Speaker 1: and people around him there have noticed this year, all right, 545 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 1: He's come out with the idea of being a little 546 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: more physical, a little bit more of a dog, a 547 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: little more of vocal, and a little bit more of like, hey, 548 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 1: I'm the one here, I'm the alpha, and you can say, 549 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 1: all the Saints offense isn't going to be great. It 550 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: might not be, but I like Klink Kubiak better than 551 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: I like their old offensive coordinator. And more than anything, 552 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: he is the one Rashid Shaheed is probably a three 553 00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: mask grading as a two a really good player, and 554 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 1: then there's a cliff beyond that. So the opportunity is 555 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: there for a lave to get sixteen hundred yards in 556 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 1: to be like the wide receiver three in fantasy. I'm 557 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: not saying he'd get there, but I think they're there's 558 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: a path to that. So he's someone I would want 559 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: in any fantasy draft. 560 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have him thirteenth overall, and I've received some 561 00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 2: criticism for ranking him that high in an offense that 562 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 2: might have some dysfunctions, but there's there are big concerns 563 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 2: on the offensive line. Trevor Penning, I mean, you could 564 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 2: block better than Trevor penn and Greg I mean I 565 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 2: couldn't ask out there. 566 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: Now you could maybe, you know, for people that don't know, 567 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 1: I didn't meet Evan Silva for many years, and this 568 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 1: is a large man, and when I finally met him 569 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: in Chicago, I realized, Man, I would not have been 570 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 1: as hard on him about his New York man. No, 571 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: I always think it was in Chicago. Oh yeah, you 572 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: came in for the summit. That's right. I think of 573 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,959 Speaker 1: another time when I saw you at a bar in Chicago. 574 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: But yeah, the first time I met you and I 575 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 1: realized you're a towering figure and I'm I'm a I'm 576 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: what one woman called me, called petit, and I was like, 577 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: you don't call a man petit, but I am. I'm 578 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: rather petite. And you're a big You're a big dude. 579 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: You could play you could play tap. You probably did, 580 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: beck but so we saw. 581 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 2: We had Matt Harmon on our podcast, you know, of 582 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 2: a reception perception fame, probably the best wide receiver analyst 583 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 2: in media. And one thing he noted is that under 584 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 2: Pete Carmichael, the Saints old offensive coordinator, not a lot 585 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: of layup, high percentage easy routes for Chris Lave. True 586 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 2: Clint Kubiak comes from that Kubiak Shanahan school. A lot 587 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: of layup stuff, a lot of run after catch opportunities. 588 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 2: So we think that Chris o'lave not only are his 589 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 2: targets going to be up there because of all the 590 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 2: reasons that you mentioned, there's nobody else good to throw to. 591 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 2: But he's going to get more high percentage stuff and 592 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 2: I think he could absolutely explode. I think he could 593 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 2: lead the NFL in receiving yards. Yep. 594 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: I think he's got a chance. And that's why thirteen 595 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: to me is even too low. But I get it. 596 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: You got to play the consent, you got to play 597 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: the averages. It's also I think Alvin Kamara, as long 598 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 1: as he stays healthy, I think they'll at least take 599 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: the layups with the screen game for him and that 600 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: he'll just be at least better than he was. All right, 601 00:30:59,640 --> 00:30:59,959 Speaker 1: give me an. 602 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 2: Kamara is a guy who's twenty nine years old. He's 603 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 2: lost efficiency lately and people have been scared to draft him, 604 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 2: but he's going to get the ball so much like 605 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 2: it's going to offset. I think he catch ninety passes 606 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 2: this season. My last guy is Kolby Parkinson. 607 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: Well tight end who. 608 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 2: The Rams gave a quietly a three year, twenty three 609 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 2: million dollar deal. They did not play him in their 610 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 2: first preseason game. He's like locked in the way that 611 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 2: the Rams play is they played three receivers in one 612 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 2: tight end like all the time, so their one tight 613 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 2: end winds up playing like eighty five ninety percent of 614 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 2: the snaps. Kobe Parkinson is going to be out there 615 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 2: a ton. He's six foot seven. I don't know if 616 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 2: you remember seeing him a little bit with the Seahawks. Also, 617 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 2: he can block, so they're going to trust him to 618 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,959 Speaker 2: be out there a ton. But if you remember watching 619 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 2: him when he was like sort of like a rotating 620 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 2: tight end with Seattle, he would stand out first of 621 00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 2: all because he's got like long blonde hair. 622 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,680 Speaker 1: But also he's a striking man. I saw him at 623 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 1: camp a couple of weeks ago. Those tight ends in general, 624 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,080 Speaker 1: I would say tight ends and defensive ends are the 625 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: most striking in person. But a lean, big tight end, 626 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: they are striking. They're striking humans. You're like, how is 627 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: that the same species as myself? 628 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 2: So in fantasy football, when you get to tight end 629 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 2: like nine through twenty five, it's all determined by touchdowns. 630 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 2: It just all comes down to touchdowns. Nobody's catching ninety 631 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 2: passes in that range. You know. I don't think Kobe 632 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 2: Parkinson is going to catch any more than fifty five passes, 633 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 2: but I think you could score like seven to nine 634 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 2: touchdowns and wind up as a top sneaky, Top ten, 635 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 2: Top twelve Fantasy tight end. 636 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: I like it. It's out on the ledge. I think 637 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: they could play more two tight ends this year just 638 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: because of how the league's going. But he's going to 639 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: be one of those two tight ends and still have opportunities. 640 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: Davis Allen is a guy I'm keeping an eye on 641 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 1: just that's more real football than fantasy. But he passes 642 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: the eye test as a guy who could catch some 643 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: passes there. I like that one, and I like whenever 644 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: I get a little too you know, off topic, Silva, 645 00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 1: you just bring me right back. You know you're all business, 646 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: be on task. Greg So I love, I love, I 647 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 1: love this man, Evan Silva. I'm gonna throw out just 648 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: a handful of ones and you can you can respond. 649 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: We'll go speed round. You mentioned Rams Blake Koram. I don't. 650 00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 1: I just don't see the gap between him and Kyraen Williams. 651 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't think it's going to be 652 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: that big of a gap. People I think are sleeping 653 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: on that. Fantasy wise, Yeah. 654 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 2: I mean that's a big conundrum. You know, where to 655 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,640 Speaker 2: rank Kyrien Williams. I mean you could, theoretically if you 656 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 2: weren't worried about Blake Korum. You could rank Kyrien Williams 657 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 2: as a boardline first round. 658 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: Pick, sure, but you should absolutely be worried. I wouldn't be. 659 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 1: I think in their perfect world they would be close 660 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: to a split. It's just about Quorum being good enough 661 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: because they just want to keep Kyen healthy and those 662 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,320 Speaker 1: two guys are so similar. So just fantasy wise, I'm 663 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: high on Korum, a little down on Kyroen this year, 664 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 1: and then the last ones I'm higher on, and this 665 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: is just more I'm buying what Ryan Grubb is selling. 666 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: Is DK kind of finally having that season we've fantasy 667 00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: wise have always wanted. And then Ken Walker too, just 668 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 1: because I think the run blocking is going to be 669 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,240 Speaker 1: a little more cohesive. So I'm buying what Grub is selling. 670 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 2: I like that they signed Connor Williams. I think that 671 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 2: could be a really underrated signing because their interior offensive 672 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 2: line was going to be problematic, and Connor Williams was 673 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 2: one of the best centers in the league before he 674 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 2: got hurt last season. 675 00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: You don't need to comment on this one. Panthers defense, 676 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,320 Speaker 1: I was never high on it, but they lost Dane 677 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,319 Speaker 1: Jackson here on Thursday for six weeks, You're like, oh, 678 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: what does that really matter? That was their starting cornerback 679 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 1: by a mile and Xavier Woods starting safety also out 680 00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,720 Speaker 1: multiple weeks. They were you know, I know in fantasy 681 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 1: you're always looking for those great matchups. JA David Clowney 682 00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: has already heard again like they on paper, they were rough, 683 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: and they look even worse now. The Chargers are another 684 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: team with just too many injuries. The Bosa injury I 685 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: think is slipping under the raidar that they're not even 686 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,560 Speaker 1: sure that he's going to be ready for a week one. Herbert, 687 00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: We'll see the quarterback situation as a disaster. Makes me 688 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: worried about the lad maconkey of it all and whether 689 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: he can stay healthy. Their center is hurt, and so 690 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,759 Speaker 1: I just I feel just way more down on the 691 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: Chargers than I did in general, especially on offense. I'm 692 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,840 Speaker 1: always high and my friend Evan Silva, thank you for 693 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 1: doing this. Evan, we go way back. Love you man. 694 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:22,080 Speaker 1: Glad to hear about your journey to trying to get healthier, 695 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 1: and then also just that you and Adam Levitton are 696 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:28,080 Speaker 1: just getting it done. You started your own company five 697 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: years ago. I believe with established the run and it's 698 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 1: only gotten better and better. And yeah, this is money 699 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,319 Speaker 1: making season for Silva, So I'll let you go and 700 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 1: go make those stacks. 701 00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,360 Speaker 2: Love you to you, brother, and thanks so much for 702 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 2: having me on. 703 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 1: All right, Appreciate you, Evan.
