What's going on? What 8 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: a super Bowl man was? Indeed, it's it's the off 9 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: season now. What was if? When you remember the twenty 10 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: twenty two season, including all the way through playoffs, what 11 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: are you gonna remember the most? What's your your one 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: big like I'll never forget that? Well, you know this 13 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: this one isn't even fantasy related ones. Honestly, it's nothing 14 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: for the listeners. Really, It's just I will remember how 15 00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: much I enjoyed watching football every week with my son 16 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: who became super involved in it. So I think that'll 17 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: be my number one takeaway from this year. How how investing, 18 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: That's how I you know, that's how That's how I 19 00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: ended up a football fan as my dad was a 20 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: football fan and the one day, you know, he worked 21 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: Monday through Friday, and you know, the one day that 22 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: I knew I could get time with my dad was 23 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoons Vikings games. So for me as a Viking 24 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: life life Viking fan, the for sure, the high water 25 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: moments where that builds victory in Buffalo, the crazy ending, 26 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: the fumble in the end zone, the Justin Jefferson one 27 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: of the greatest catches in the history of the NFL, 28 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,839 Speaker 1: and then the come from behind thirty three point recovery 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: against the Colts, and he just you know, unbelievable moments 30 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: for a very special season for the Vikings that you 31 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: know ended early in the playoffs but still had just 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: these moments of just jaw dropping. You're like, what did 33 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: I just see some amazing week? So it was good 34 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: to see so many one score wins. It you know, 35 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: the year the year before we had fourteen one score games, 36 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: but we did not have that win record or whatever. 37 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: It was good to see so many close games come 38 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: down to the wire, you're all stressed, intense, and you 39 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: pull them out. That was that was pretty fun. It's fun. 40 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: The premise of today's show is the five things each 41 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: that you and I want to remember next August, Right, 42 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: everything is fresh in our minds right now, all of 43 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: these and all you know all you know what all 44 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: the players did, who's good down the stretch, you know everything. 45 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: It's all it's all fresh now, and I feel like 46 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: over the course of the sixth month off season some 47 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: of it stays percolating at the top through the fantasy community. 48 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: People are talking about it, uncovering new stats and stuff 49 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: and going back in analyzing season. Other things you just 50 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: forget over time. And there are things I don't want 51 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: to forget. So what I'd like to do is bounce 52 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: the ball back and forth through the five things we 53 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: each do not want to forget. And I will let 54 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: you go first. Okay, I'm gonna start with one that uh, 55 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: you know I I went to I went to Twitter 56 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: to say, hey, I'm going to crowdsource this. What are 57 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 1: your guys thoughts? That took some of the best ones. 58 00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,200 Speaker 1: Some of them were ones that I had already thought 59 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: of as well, of course, yeah yeah, but this one 60 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: came via Sam Wagman, Crystal scour and Spencer Hankle if 61 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: you're listening. But the QB landscape has has changed now 62 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: where waiting isn't as much as the strategy anymore. The 63 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: top five or six can really be difference makers and 64 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 1: you might not want to wait on them. We saw, 65 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna elaborate here just a little bit, but 66 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: we saw fifteen of championship rosters have the have the Mahomes, 67 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: the Jalen Hurts, the Josh Allen, and I think you 68 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: can piece something together with the late r on ones. 69 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: But it's so nice to have that extra roster spot, 70 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: to not have a backup and just have one of 71 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: the studs and not worry about it, and they pull 72 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: you ahead each week, like you can get massive points 73 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: out of those guys any week. It's it's worth it again. 74 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: First round quarterbacks. Jalen Hurts is going to go in 75 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: the first round? You think so? On a past show, 76 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: maybe two three weeks ago, we built it. We briefly 77 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: made a case for him at one one. I would 78 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: not do that. But Josh first round, Patrick Mahomes first 79 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: round you could get and all three of those are 80 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: reasonable first round picks. Okay, I think I don't know 81 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 1: if I could do it, but here's here's the best 82 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,799 Speaker 1: reason for it. Here's the best case in my mind. Unlikely, 83 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: like far less likely for injury than the other guys 84 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: that we routinely grabbing the first where five of them 85 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: get injured at some point in the season for a while, 86 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: I think those three, those three are less likely. For that, 87 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: people have to have figured out the quarterbacks get hurt 88 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: in the pocket more often than they do up running 89 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: in the field. I mean, you know, the pocket is 90 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: the most dangerous, especially now that quarterbacks know how to 91 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: slide and get out of bounds and protect themselves a 92 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: lot better than back in the day. Absolutely for sure. 93 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: But all right, so I want to remember the qub 94 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: landscape has changed, and I can I can avoid my uh, 95 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, my tendency is to just wait forever on quarterback. 96 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: I gotta stop that now, I'm with you. My first 97 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: thing to remember, cam Akers looked downright, spry at the 98 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 1: end of the year. I thought it looked great. And 99 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: this is the guy that we warned everybody about, all 100 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: you me, you know, everybody in the show. We're all 101 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: we're all unified on that. We were right. For half 102 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: a season, about more than half. The first fourteen weeks 103 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 1: of the year, which is the entire regular season, cam 104 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: Akers averaged three point three yards per carry, and he 105 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: was running back fifty one. I mean you couldn't even 106 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: start him for the first fourteen weeks, so it was 107 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: not drafting cam Akers was right thing to do. But 108 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: then in weeks fifteen through eighteen Fantasy playoffs, he was 109 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: five point five yards per carry and he finished as 110 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: running back four running back four in the final four games. 111 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 1: He had the three touch down game in Week sixteen 112 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 1: against a good Denver defense, And keep in mind his 113 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: offensive line was completely shattered by this stage of the season. 114 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: Yet cam Akers still managed to be an effective running back. 115 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: So there's and I'm I'm I'm the Achilles doubter in 116 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 1: the room. I'm always like, you have to show me 117 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: before I'm going to believe that you're the same running back. 118 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: With the Achilles and doubting, cam Akers was the correct 119 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: call until December. Yep, I I agree he look good 120 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: and if he keeps that role, which he should, I 121 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: don't see any he wouldn't. Yeah, the contract, all right? 122 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: What is your next thing to remember? All right? This one? 123 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: This one is one I thought about a decent amount 124 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: this last year because this happened with a lot of 125 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: rookie wide receivers. But from Scott Lord and Kevin Tompkins. 126 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: Rookies are really the last true places to find bargain 127 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: a DP and draft a handful of rookie wide receivers 128 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: with upside who can ascend instead of the boring vets 129 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 1: in those middle to late rounds, those Christian Watson types 130 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: that were like that we're taking you know, a random 131 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: vet over, don't do it. There's so much more upside 132 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: with the rookie wide receivers. And over the last few years, 133 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: rokie wide receivers have made so many splashes. It's not 134 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: like year three anymore. They're making splashes usually later in 135 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: year one. And now, okay, let me ask you that 136 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: the last three years have been an insane bumper crop 137 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: of wide receivers. And this year looks like and it's 138 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: the draft is still a couple of weeks. It's way worse. 139 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 1: There may only be one or two drafted in the 140 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: first round this year. After we're getting you know drafts 141 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 1: where there's like five wide receivers taken in the first round. 142 00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: So maybe we've just we happen to have run into 143 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: this group that in totality has been really good lately. 144 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,239 Speaker 1: One of those that one of the one of those 145 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: two uh two tweets did not mention wide receivers. They 146 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: just said players, um, and I think that's fair to 147 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: There are probably going to be a bunch of running 148 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: backs like the Tyler l years from this last year 149 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: that are in those later rounds. Go for the upside 150 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: plays instead of the vets that you know have been 151 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: ho hum and you know what you're getting, Tyler. You 152 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: watched Tyler L. Gear Yeah, August RB, that's going to 153 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 1: be a DP. The average draft position of Tyler L. 154 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: Geer is going to creep up, up, up, up up 155 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: as people start to realize what he did down the stretch. 156 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: And you know, that could have been one of these 157 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: top five things that I could have been not on 158 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: my list, but he yet he really he looked like 159 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 1: much improved running back. I'm going to message him in 160 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: our league chat. So even in the I like that, 161 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 1: that's good. My next thing to remember, Tyler Murray may 162 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 1: not be fully recovered until mid season, and I think 163 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: we'll be much more aware of that in August, but 164 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: I didn't at the time. We're so used to people 165 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: just coming back the next year from the a C 166 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 1: l UM. His is a c L omniscus. Apparently it's 167 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: pretty bad in there when they got in into the 168 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: clean up. The timetable is being reported as mid season. 169 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: Josh Wine Fuss of ESPN also indicated that there's been 170 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: rumblings that Murray could be at risk of missing the 171 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: entire year. Albert Breer reports, Murray hasn't been the guy 172 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 1: to set the tone for the organization. When your QB 173 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: doesn't show up for half of the offseason program, that's 174 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: a problem. These are now I've turned this also into 175 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: reasons I'm not drafting Kyler Murray. Don't. There's that um 176 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: and even when Murray comes back, what happens with his mobility? 177 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 1: So is he gonna be you know, is he gonna 178 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 1: be like Dak Prescott last year? You know, Dak was 179 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: so good as a running passing hybrid for all those years, 180 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: then he had the ankle injury. Then last year, that 181 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,599 Speaker 1: ankle injury, and he's still He's never gonna be the 182 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: same rusher off of that totally reconstructed ankle, and then 183 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: you lose a lot of that. So I looked up 184 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's just the passing numbers. We took his rushing 185 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: numbers out of it, he would have been quarterback twenty 186 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: I remember, remember what was it, it was last year 187 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: or whatever. He had that injury and he wasn't rushing anymore. 188 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: And each week we're like, he's more of a C 189 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: grade now because the rushing was gone. It's weird because 190 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: he's one of those quarterbacks that could be like a 191 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: five thousand yards maybe eight hundred to a thousand yards 192 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:21,199 Speaker 1: rushing quarterback went healthy, but he keeps he keeps getting 193 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: hurt this year. Yeah, I think we're going to hear 194 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: a lot more about his situation. You know, came August. 195 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: It will probably remember it because they'll be talking about 196 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 1: a decent amount. But uh, I will say Joe Burrow 197 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 1: had supposedly similar to slightly worse injury, had it a 198 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: couple of weeks earlier, and he was ready by week one. 199 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: So who do you Who do you trust more to 200 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: be serious about their rehab all season? Burrow? That's a 201 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: very good point. I think it's a factor. I really do. Yeah, 202 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: all right, we've done four things to remember. Let's get 203 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 1: in a fifth one and then we'll take a quick break. Um, okay, 204 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: let's let's go over here, and this is just might 205 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: be almost anecdotal for me. But for the longest time, 206 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: wide receivers switching teams was almost always a bad thing. 207 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 1: Guys almost almost never lived up to what they were before. 208 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: And then Stephen Diggs switched teams and he was just fining. 209 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: He was even better. And then this year Diggs did it, 210 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: Tyree Kill did it. Um they did great, but other 211 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: players the same result is before Allen Robinson, Judic Smith, Schuster. 212 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: Just what where I'm going is? I want to remember 213 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: to notice when a wider superswitches teams, were they a star, 214 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: were they on the decline? Or were they underused in 215 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: their offense? And under used example would be Christian Kirk. 216 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: I can't put them all in the one bin anymore. 217 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: I have to. I have to take a closer look 218 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: at where was their trajectory before the switch, because it 219 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 1: seems like that man is more because teams are letting 220 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: wide receivers walk just because of contracts. A J. Brown 221 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: just because the contracts now it's not it's no longer 222 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: because we don't want you anymore, right the cop because 223 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: the big the position has become so expensive. Elite wide 224 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: receivers command thirty million dollars a year thirty. That's Davante 225 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: Smith and that's our sorry, Davanta Adams and and Tyreek 226 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hiller thirty million dollar guys. Scott Justin Jefferson might 227 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: be a thirty five million dollar guy. So we even 228 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: saw it when Tyree Hill left there, like will he 229 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: be the same with two and with Wattle taking etcetera. No, no, 230 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: just let's let's just assume that these players are on 231 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: a certain trajectory and let's try to let's try to 232 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: see when in Allen Robinson. Allen Robinson's numbers were nearly 233 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: identical from Chicago to the Rams, So maybe that bad 234 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: he was right, especially at that age, at that stage 235 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: of the career, those two got me like that. Maybe 236 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: it's because those are with my worst calls of the 237 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 1: year is I thought ju Ju to the Chiefs, and 238 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: I thought Allen Robinson replacing the Odell Robert Woods role. 239 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,760 Speaker 1: I thought, great, No, they were declining, That's just what 240 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: it was, and Juju shouldn't be declining at age seven 241 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: or whatever. But you know, and he's it'll be a 242 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: free agent this offseason, ju will and I think the 243 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: markets for him is going to be pretty soft, even 244 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: though there are a lot of great receivers free agent 245 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: wide receivers. I think the market's gonna be pretty soft. 246 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna look and go okay with Ben 247 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger and Patrick Mahomes. You were a mid production guy, 248 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: so you know, what are you gonna beat? What's Houston 249 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,680 Speaker 1: gonna give him much? I don't think. All right, let's 250 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 1: take a break when we come back the five other 251 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: things we want to try to remember or try not 252 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: to forget between now and next draft season. Welcome back 253 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Scott Fish with you. 254 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: We're going through the things we do not want to 255 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 1: forget between now and next draft season. We've done five, 256 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: We've got five left. That means I'm up. Derrick Henry's 257 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: offensive line was god awful last year. Scott and completely 258 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: injury ravaged. Um. You know, I think those two might 259 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: have had a thing to do with each other, correct, Yes, 260 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: no doubt. Taylor the one, Dylan rad Dunce, Ben Jones, 261 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: Nate Davis, all hurt Um and Ben Jones mostly backup anyway. 262 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: But um Luan set to make fourteen and a half 263 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: million dollars, and he he said this last week he 264 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: expects to be released because of his contract, and also 265 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: he's thirty two and you know whatever. You know, sometimes 266 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: just things just sour with an organization. He'll probably he'll 267 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: probably land on his feet somewhere else and help somebody else. 268 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: But I think Derrick Henry's ADP is gonna slide pretty far, 269 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 1: and if they can rebuild that offensive line, I'm kind 270 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: of back on board. What are your thoughts on not 271 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: on Eric Henry, where I think he's ADP is now 272 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: going to drop into like pick ten, pick twelve, somewhere 273 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: in that range where I think we might be starting 274 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: to hit the last couple of years of Zeki Elliott 275 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: for Derrick Henry to where people are like, oh, he's 276 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: kind of old hat and where he'll start slit an age, 277 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: so he'll just start slipping even though he's got these 278 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: ears left. I'm with you on this and and more 279 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: than just like, can I make up broader statement on 280 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: the offensive line thing? I feel like we need to 281 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: pay better attention to the offensive line, and because it 282 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: seems to have really mattered this year for both passing 283 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: and run games, Like there's a lot's a point at 284 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: which if it's bad enough do you just can't succeed? 285 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: And Tennessee's wasn't good to begin with. That's what I mean. 286 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,360 Speaker 1: Are You're throwing a couple of injuries and now they're 287 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: like the thirtie best offensive line and Derrick Henry, even 288 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry can't do anything with that. Yep, I'm I'm 289 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: I'm with you on this. I I will buy the 290 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: I will buy the dip. I actually was buying him 291 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: last year too. I don't I feel like I've always 292 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: just been buying in on Terrick Henry. The last most 293 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: part of what is your next thing? Not to forget? Okay, 294 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 1: let me let me get back over here, and I'm 295 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: gonna go with um. I need to pay closer attention 296 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: to the contract to your players because and we talked 297 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: about it a lot on the show about we talked 298 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: about it last year with se Kwan and Jacobs and 299 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: like maybe they just run him to the ground. They did. 300 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: They did. Look at Tony Pollard and Miles Sanders on 301 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: their contract years this year, like the contract to your players, 302 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: it's it's been a stereotype because it kind of happens 303 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 1: a lot. Okay, Okay, but wait, you put in the past, 304 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: the thinking was always the player tries harder in their 305 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: contract year. For many of these guys, it was the 306 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: team team wants to put all of this workload on 307 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: a guy that they're going to go exactly. It's it's 308 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: one of those you can have a couple of different 309 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: names for it, but it's the same end result in 310 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: fantasy uptick, especially running back, where they they're trying to 311 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: put my pals on on the guy on that exactly 312 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: where I was going. I mean, I think this is 313 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: mostly and someone on Twitter Saturday I believe too, But um, 314 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: it's mostly for the starting level or at least time 315 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: share high level, you know, the one a of a 316 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: timeshare one whatever. Running backs like the defined role running 317 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: backs is more of what this is about. My next 318 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: thing I don't want to forget justin higher maybe draft 319 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: him high for sure. Justin fields passing didn't improve as 320 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: much as people are going to think it improved, so 321 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: you know, there's I just think there's still some risk 322 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: with fields passing, which August drafters are going to be 323 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: quick to overlook because of his incredible running and the 324 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: fantasy upside that is running gives you, um and the 325 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: upgrades that are assuredly justin Fields is going to get me. 326 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 1: They're going to have receiver upgrades in Chicago in this offseason. 327 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: They're coming. I don't don't know who they are yet, 328 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 1: but they're coming. I mean now, ideally it's gonna be 329 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: just like what A J. Brown did for Jalen Hurts. 330 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 1: I think A J. Brown was pretty instrumental in Jalen 331 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: Hurts getting a lot better. I think that certainly helped 332 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: that whole, that whole offense and giving him that target 333 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: and then also drawing less coverage to other players. And 334 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, Hurts got a lot better and Fields could. 335 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 1: But and I'm not saying you won't, but I think 336 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 1: in our minds we've decided that. And J and I also, 337 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: by the way, I expect Chicago to trade out of 338 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: one one that first pick of the draft because they're 339 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: going to settle on Hurts. And I really think the 340 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: narrative is gonna build that Fields is a better passer 341 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: than than he was this year. So let me give 342 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: you some data to back this up. Fields finished sevent 343 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 1: in expected completion percentage. He finished dead last in passes 344 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: into tight windows. That's the next gen stat which makes 345 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: you question just his judgment as a passer um and 346 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: also by the way wide receivers weren't gett open, so 347 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think those guys were getting a 348 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: lot of cushion, so that might have been part of 349 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: it too. But he was throwing. He threw them. He 350 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: was dead last and passes into tight windows. He was 351 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: thirty feet in turnover worthy plays when under pressure he 352 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: was thirtieth, and adjusted completion percentage when under pressure he 353 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 1: led the leagues in league in sacks absorbed. Justin Fields, 354 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: who obviously has the mobility to get out of these 355 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 1: sacks right and get out of trouble, but Scotty didn't 356 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: because it's just positional awareness and you know, holding the 357 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 1: ball too long. Things like that bad offensive line pressured 358 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: him some, for sure, but its offensive line it wasn't 359 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: as bad as we thought. In fact, get this first 360 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: half it was bad. Get this, the quarterback with the 361 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:51,160 Speaker 1: most time to throw in the NFL, justin Fields, yet 362 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 1: he absorbed the most sacks. I want to know if 363 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: that I would love to know if that counts after 364 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,159 Speaker 1: he's outside the pocket to the time he delivers the ball, 365 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: Like I'm not sure it's a that is a Pro 366 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: Football Focus T T T time to throw stat and 367 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm not, you know, I don't. They don't clarify that 368 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,280 Speaker 1: part of it. But presumably if you have to break 369 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: the poel, you're not you don't have time. That's when 370 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 1: the time to throw in. I feel like, yeah, I 371 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: feel like it's that would make sense. If it's snapped 372 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,879 Speaker 1: to bald Leave's hand, that would make sense to me. 373 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: Sat And the last thing I'll mention her fields passing. 374 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: Just again, on the passing part. He ranked thirty six 375 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 1: among starting quarterbacks by Pro Football Focus in passing for 376 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: last year. Now he's certainly got better, means there was 377 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: there was some backup quarterbacks that did better, that did 378 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: better than Justin Fields. It is a passer, so well, 379 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 1: Justin Fields is going to be in the top five 380 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: of everybody's quarterback rankings because the running is absurd and 381 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: they will continue to run him. I have no doubt 382 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: about it. The passing isn't as complete as it is 383 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: for Josh Allen and Justin Fields and guys that are 384 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: also gonna be sitting in that rarefied ranking. I think 385 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: Fields is the type of guy you I don't He's 386 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: not there yet in ADP justin fields, he's closer to 387 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: the ten to twelve range. But I feel like he's 388 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: the kind of guy that once that one on one 389 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: trade happens, they're probably going to either draft a wide receiver, 390 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: get a wide receiver, free agency wide receiver, and that's 391 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,560 Speaker 1: that's when he's gonna get pushed up. So if you 392 00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: like fields and Wade fields, you probably want to get 393 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: it before the draft that trade. All right, what is 394 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: your next thing that we should not forget? So many 395 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: to choose from, but I'm gonna go with three players 396 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: who ended the year well, sometimes it hits, sometimes it doesn't, Um, 397 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: but I don't want to forget that they did the 398 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: first cold come at. We're gonna stick with the Bears 399 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: here for a second. He was tight end thirty one. 400 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: Weeks one through eight he was tighten he was me 401 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: but tight end six, yes, you are correct. It depends 402 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: on your scoring, but yes, tight end six at top 403 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: six in every scoring really most scorings. Well, the touchdowns 404 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 1: finally started. The touchdowns finally start a hit. You have 405 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: to expect the offensive line to get better fields. Fields. 406 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: I would hope to improve, but maybe not um another 407 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: wide any other option to draw coverage, any other option 408 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: to get him open in the middle. Um, I want 409 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: to remember how he ended the season, especially since tight 410 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: ends are really Kelsey or wait six years, because it's 411 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,479 Speaker 1: really just Kelsey. Um. The other two are Chicken kN 412 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 1: Ku and Rashid Shim for the Saints. If Derrick cargoes 413 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 1: that he ended with really good metrics, both of those 414 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 1: guys ended with really good metrics, especially for rookies, especially 415 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: a conque for being a tight end. Um, if you 416 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 1: get Card of the Saints, I think that only improves him, 417 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: and I think a conqu he has a good chance 418 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: to be a really good player for at the Titan position. 419 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: You're forgetting my We're forgetting my other rookie tight end 420 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: that I love. We're talking, we're talking late round guys 421 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 1: that I don't want to forget about. Gillanni Woods and 422 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: I believe mo Elly Cox is a free agent. I 423 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: believe who's the Paris Campbell, which we could open up 424 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: the middle of the field a little bit for Woods. 425 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: I mean, Johnny Woods had some splashy moments, so I'm 426 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: excited for his. Leson will still be there though, oh no, 427 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: oh no, he's a small sucker though weird that he 428 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: takes snaps. That's what I mean. Uh, my last thing 429 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: to remember, Trevor Lawrence is really good. Um, I think 430 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: you and I both agreed that in the Urban Meyer year, 431 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,360 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was playing badly and it wasn't all just 432 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: like scheme and everything else. It was bad. It took 433 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: him half a year to to take the funk out. 434 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: In his final ten games of the year, including the 435 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 1: playoff loss or playoffs excuse me, the two playoffs, the 436 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: playoff win and the playoff loss, he averaged two d 437 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: fifty four passing yards and two touchdowns and he had 438 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 1: just three picks other than the four in reception half 439 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: that he had against the Chargers. So we had that. 440 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: But aside from that over the final ten games, three 441 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: interceptions that's it, which is really impressive. And so because 442 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: what is so what is two fifty four yards for 443 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and two passing touchdowns put him on par 444 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: with well that was right in the area of Kirk Cousins, 445 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: Jared Goff to Ah Josh Allen's passing not as rushing 446 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: obviously is passing. I mean those are you know, that's 447 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 1: like he was in QB eight, QB nine, QB ten, 448 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: territory and deport Lawrence looked like a top ten fantasy 449 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: passer in the second half of the season, and I 450 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: think he was. And he chips in some rushing yards 451 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,639 Speaker 1: to seventeen rushing yards per game. He scored five rushing touchdowns. 452 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: That stuff adds up. Uh, yeah, I agree with that. 453 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: Um right now in a an underdog ADP, he's going 454 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: QB eight. Yeah, that's about That's about where he finished 455 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,959 Speaker 1: this year for the second half of the season, So 456 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: that makes sense. But do you think he can go higher? 457 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: He's got I think he's for sure. Do you think 458 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: he's got to? It's really just his second year in 459 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: the in the league, you know, you know, yeah, right here, 460 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: the first year doesn't count, but then you know, so, yeah, 461 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: he has the potential to get even better based on 462 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 1: the college pedigree and his second year in the Doug 463 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: Peterson system. Yeah, I'm I'm a big fan. And we 464 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: are two guys that talked routinely about Trevor Lawrence the 465 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: last two years because we we watch a lot of 466 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: a lot of the games. We watch a lot of 467 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: games more than he was really in the first week 468 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: he wasn't that great, and then starting week two, Yeah, 469 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: he really turned it up. By the way. I feel 470 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: like I mispronounced Rashi Shahid's name a little bit ago. 471 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: It's Rashi Shahid. I don't know. I don't know what 472 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: to say. I don't know what you did. I felt 473 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,640 Speaker 1: like it did. I thought I had a either Rashim 474 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: or Shahim. I think I had an m. It's funny 475 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: you say that, because when you said it, my mind 476 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: would is that right? And I purposely didn't say his 477 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: name because then you built himself down in me as 478 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: as to whether or not I was saying like on 479 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 1: one of them, I accidentally miss I liked his big 480 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,719 Speaker 1: play potential. Yes, I mean he was that kid can 481 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: run after the catch. He's got he's got some gallop. Yeah, 482 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,959 Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. In such a small sample size, 483 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: him and a conqu in their small sample size, looked legite. 484 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: Thank you, absolute conversation with you a little bit there.
