1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Greetings and welcome to the NFL Fantasy Live Podcast, Playoff

2
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: edition Jason Smith alongside Adam Rank and Marcus Grant. We're

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: gonna go to do all the big news going on

4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Look back at the eliminated players from

5
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: this past weekend, see what their fantasy values are for

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: next year. You can quick look at the Senior Bowl

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: and a little bit of full Bowl raft talk. Let's

8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: off with you guys who were doing phenomenal in the

9
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: playoff challenge up until this past week. We had the Niners.

10
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: It was so close, Rank, you were so we were

11
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: this close from basically running the table for the third

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: out of the fourth year. But the Niners fell just short.

13
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 1: But that's that strategy still work great for you? Yeah,

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: just short. Now I don't have to keep playing, do I?

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: I stopped making picks after the charts much. I hope

16
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: I don't get an angry email or something when I'm

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: in New York next week about like, where's your playoff challenge?

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, look, all my guys are gone. I gave

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: it a shot, you know what, I'm going down with

20
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: the forty nine. But you know what, that's the way

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: it seems like you play this game is just pick

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: a team like that, and I I didn't see what happens.

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: I feel like Richard Sherman's rant was directed at you.

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: Actually was it was director personally at you. It might

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: have been I don't think I've picked the Seahawks to

26
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 1: win this entire playoffs. I think I picked the Saints.

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 1: I picked the Saints because I had picked the Saints

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: to win in the beginning of the season, so I

29
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: just wanted to keep going. No, that's that's not right.

30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound like because I would have hedged. That

31
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 1: sounds like what something that I do is hedge on

32
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: those type of things, like, well, one of them will

33
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: be correct, either I get it right this week or

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: my preseason pick stands. It's probably what I did, but

35
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I've been picking against him. So yeah,

36
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: So maybe Richard Sherman was talking to me, well, because

37
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: you had the Seahawks last year, did you pick them

38
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs last year? I did? Yeah, they let

39
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: me down last year, So I'm stung. I'm stung by

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll stay away at this point. When I like

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll. I used to cover him when he was

42
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: coaching USC and I was at the Orange Country Register,

43
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: so I like him. But it's just I don't know.

44
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: For whatever reason, I don't trust his teams and I

45
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: keep not trusting them, and there I'm gonna probably gonna

46
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: trust them, not trust them to a Super Bowl title.

47
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: Well that was like your strategy last week. You said,

48
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: you know, look like the the indie band guy who's

49
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: on one team and then suddenly they become great and

50
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: you move on to the next one. You're on Seattle

51
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: last year and everybody's like, hey, Seattle is great and

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: you've moved on. Yeah, it's like mud honey, like whatever,

53
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 1: when everybody became a fan of them. Now, Marcus, you

54
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: also you were doing you were doing pretty well too,

55
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: but the Niners got you too. Know. They didn't actually

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: in the playoff challenge. No, no, I mean I mean

57
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: personally because you're a nine fan, of which you know.

58
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: It's funny because I didn't see the post game rant

59
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: until the day after because I couldn't bother to watch

60
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: it live. Sixty million people watch that post game and

61
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: you know whatever, But yeah, no, that you know what,

62
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised the way the game win. I felt

63
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: like the Niners could go up there and win. But

64
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I also isn't surprised when the Seahawks figured out a

65
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: way to get it done. Um, you know, I'm I'm

66
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 1: waiting for the new Colin Kaepernick narrative to start. Now

67
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: it hasn't yet. Maybe when we get to the off

68
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: season or next season, but I'm I'm thinking you're gonna

69
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 1: have this, this Colin Kaepernick narrative of not being able

70
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: to lead his team, that he can do it with

71
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: his legs, but he's not able to get it done

72
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: with his arm. And and it's two seasons in a

73
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: row that the Niners have ended their year on fade

74
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: patterns to Michael Crabtree in the corner of the end zone. Um,

75
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: admittedly this was a better throw than the one in

76
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl last year, but it it it's kind

77
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: of becoming this thing now. That's what two post seasons

78
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: in a row, they've had the ball in the hands

79
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: of Colin Kaepernick and he hasn't quite gotten it done.

80
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: So he should be prepared for the new Peyton Manning

81
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: type narrative. Whoa whoa, whoa whoa No, because it's taken

82
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning like seventeen years or somebody like, hey, wait,

83
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't win in the playoffs, and then when he

84
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: wins in November game in the Colder, was like, say,

85
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: your guys are totally wrong, and all the Manning fanboys

86
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: are at it now. A lot of the Manning fan

87
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: boys acted like he I don't know if they're aware,

88
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: like he didn't win the super Bowl. I don't know

89
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: if this is gonna be breaking it to a number

90
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: of you. But everybody like these guys on Twitter like up,

91
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: she told you, Like what do you say? Like he

92
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: hasn't won a super Bowl yet. That's the thing. He

93
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: has to win a Super But I do feel like

94
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: Peyton slayed some dragons last week. I mean, it was

95
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: it's one getting to the super Bowl first time. I thought,

96
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, the first win because everybody talked about how

97
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: bad he has been after getting to buy in the playoffs.

98
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: So he gets that first win against the Chargers. Then

99
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: he slays some dragons by taking down Brady and Belichick.

100
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: So you know, I understand why the why the fan

101
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: boys are keeping up a little bit for Peyton Manning.

102
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right, he has not won a super Bowl.

103
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: If he would have dropped that fumble, right on the

104
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: opening where he's bobbling the ball, and you know, Peyton

105
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: wanted to turn into Peyton Manning right there, and somehow

106
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: it's like the football God's super glued that, like, no,

107
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: we're not gonna let you. We're not gonna let you

108
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 1: blow this in the opening moment, because like if he

109
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: fumbles that and it gets kicked around, it's over. Like

110
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: the game would literally be over if the throw that

111
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: he made the Welker that just kind of hung up there.

112
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't know how that ball got through, Like what happened.

113
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: I have no idea how that ball got through like

114
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,559
Speaker 1: the paint, Like nobody's like, oh, like somebody. I felt

115
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: like one of the defensive coaches should have gone up

116
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: to the defensive backs and men like you can catch

117
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: the ball, like you're allowed to do that. And if

118
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: he tries that stuff against Seattle and the Elements. Although

119
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 1: the good thing about Paid Manning being in the Super

120
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: Bowl is that it will probably be sixty degrees and Sonny,

121
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: it MetLife Stadium here a week from Sunday, so I'm

122
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: looking forward to that. I can wear shorts. I'm bringing

123
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: shorts with me, but you're gonna wear shorts at sixty degrees,

124
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: you can play when it's less than eighty years. I

125
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: don't know, pants. I'm stuned that the Patriots didn't decide

126
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: how many passes did Peyton Manning have to throw fifteen

127
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,039
Speaker 1: yards and in before the Patriots coaching staff got together

128
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: and so, okay, you know what, let's sell out. Put

129
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: the safeties inside fifteen yards and Peyton, if you can

130
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: throw it past our cornerbacks and throw it twenty five yards,

131
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: go ahead and do it. Because he couldn't do it.

132
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: He was not very accurate. Everything was everything is his

133
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: All throws were all bunch plays near the line of scrimmage.

134
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: Throws were all fifteen yards and in. Because whatever reason,

135
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: whether it's the cold, whether it's you know, his arm

136
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: is not as lively as it was. He can't throw

137
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: the ball long, and he's he's throwing rainbows and dropping

138
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: the ball in the pickle barrel and I'm watching going.

139
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: At some point, Belichick, they got a clue in, right,

140
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: they have to, you would think so. I mean, although

141
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: I do think they were really worried, especially after Talib

142
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: went out, Uh that dinner was getting torched by de

143
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 1: Marius Thomas. I mean a Fonso dinner, just couldn't stay

144
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,719
Speaker 1: with the Marius Thomas and I think I think the

145
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: fear was if we give Peyton enough shots, he's gonna

146
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: hit a couple of them. But you're right, when he

147
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 1: was going down field, he wasn't very accurate. He's throwing

148
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: balls out of bounds, he was overthrowing. But I think

149
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: they just felt like, we can't keep giving him opportunities.

150
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: It was the second consecutive year you talk about the

151
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: forty niner season ending with fade passes to Michael Crabtree.

152
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: Second consecutive year the a f C Championship game has

153
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: turned on an injury to keep to leave. Not saying

154
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots would have won either one of those games,

155
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: but in both instances, you're like, you know what, their

156
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: chances are greatly diminished. And their body language the Patriots

157
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: was was almost like when they come off the field,

158
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: like you see like they had horrible body language the

159
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: entire game. They looked listless. They looked almost like they

160
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: were resigned to the fact that we come off the

161
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: field and we're not going to see the football for

162
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: five or six minutes because Peyton was take they weren't

163
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: getting points but they were driving the football, taking time

164
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: off the clock, and it's like the pay well, okay,

165
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: this is what's happening. It was crazy that for a team,

166
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: for the Patriots to come out that way, because you

167
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: never thought that would happen to New England. They would

168
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: come out and try. It's like that if the if

169
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: the Broncos came out and had two touchdowns in the

170
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: first four minutes and suddenly it's fourteen nothing at home

171
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: and you're thinking, Okay, it's just one of those days.

172
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 1: But it's three nothing midway through the second quarter. Right.

173
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: You know. What I thought was interesting with with the

174
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: Broncos and we've seen in the last two weeks, is

175
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: that what they've done in the playoffs has been very

176
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: different than what they did in the regular season, where

177
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: in the regular season they were it's kind of basketball

178
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: on grass. You know, we're gonna get the ball, we're

179
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna run down the field, We're gonna score. They're not

180
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: as high tempo, as up tempo as as say Philadelphia,

181
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: but the Broncos are putting up points at a pretty

182
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 1: good rate during the regular season. In the last couple

183
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: of games, they've been a lot more about ball control

184
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,119
Speaker 1: keeping the other offense on the sidelines and playing really

185
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: good defense. It's it's almost like they were just holding

186
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: this back until they got to the postseason. All Right,

187
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna look back at some of the players who

188
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: were eliminated this past week. Next week the big Super

189
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: Bowl preview week, Adam Rank will give us his super

190
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: Bowl pick the end of the podcast. We'll waiting to

191
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 1: give a big drum roll for you there. But you

192
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: mentioned Colin Kaepernick and people are gonna have questions about

193
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: him going in the next season. The first thing people

194
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: are gonna think is Joe Montana was right. He does

195
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: have trouble throwing from the pocket. But Marcus, I mean,

196
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: you you see Kaepernick, you know him better than anybody else,

197
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: being the Niners fan you are. Is that is there

198
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: more of a ceiling for him? Or is this the

199
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: quarterback is because he has to run the football to

200
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: be effective. Is he ever gonna become that great pocket

201
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: pass or where he's gonna be accurate in addition to

202
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: being able to run the football. I mean, I think

203
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: there's a little more of a ceiling there. I'm not

204
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: sure how much more we're gonna see from Colin Kaepernick.

205
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: That we haven't already seen. I think that the two

206
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: biggest things. I mean, obviously, his pocket presence is going

207
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: to be one thing. Um, I'm waiting for Colin Kaepernick

208
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: to learn how to throw a change up, um, you know,

209
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 1: And and so much as is made of his arm strength.

210
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean that that touchdown passing through to an Kohan

211
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Bolden was unreal, just on the move. The jump pass

212
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: and throwing a laser beam to the back of the

213
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: end zone was phenomenal. But there are so many touch

214
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: passes that he misses because I think all he has

215
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: is that ninety fastball, and I think that will will

216
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: dictate a lot of where his ceiling is, you know,

217
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: at some point. I also think the Niners need to

218
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: just let him be who he is. I mean, we

219
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 1: saw during the regular season that they really kept a

220
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: leash on him. They kept him in the pocket, they

221
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: didn't have him run as much. We saw more of

222
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: that later in the year, and we saw a lot

223
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: of it in the playoffs, and that was really where

224
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: he was most effective. And I think for his for

225
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: his development as a quarterback, and and certainly for his

226
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: fantasy value, I think if the Niners just leave him alone.

227
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: Let him be who he is. I think, at least

228
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: from a fantasy perspective, that's going to do a lot

229
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: for for his value. Where are you gonna about ballp

230
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: I know we have the whole off season to go

231
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: through rankings wise, but ballpark, where do you think you're

232
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: gonna have Kaepernick going to the next season? Ranke? Well,

233
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: thankfully to people like Joe Montana, he's gonna fall. First

234
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: of all, Joe Montana can keep his mouth shut because

235
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: there's a number of people out there who still contend

236
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 1: that Joe Montana was trying to throw the ball away

237
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 1: in NFC Championship game, but he didn't have the arm

238
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: to get it there. And Joe Montana went back the

239
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 1: following season and the forty Niners were what three and

240
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: six and the strike short shortened two. So if Drew

241
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: Pearson doesn't get tackled from behind by Eric Right, the

242
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys win that game. The forty Niners go three and

243
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: six the following season. Now, Bill Walsh might lose his

244
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: job or whatever. In history could be different. So I

245
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to hear it from

246
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: a yeah, there you go. I really just don't want

247
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: to hear it from Joe Montana. Colin Kaepernick was in

248
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: the second year as a starter. He's learning how to

249
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: play quarterback. I know a lot of people were spoiled

250
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: by some of these guys who have come out and

251
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 1: done pretty well out of the gate. But even then,

252
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck has made some mistakes. Russell Wilson almost made

253
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: a critical mistake in the very first play of the

254
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: NFC Championship games. So these young guys are still learning

255
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: on the job. Give him a little bit of time.

256
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got the running game down, like you said,

257
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: the jump passes. The athleticism that he brings puts him ahead.

258
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: And if he does, if it's the happy Gilmore. Oh,

259
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: somebody learned how to play. You can ever learn that

260
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: if you're gonna if you can get those dump dump

261
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: offs down, he gets a full season with craft Tree,

262
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: regardless of what Richard Sherman thinks of him, If he

263
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: gets a full season from Crad Tree, Bolden, Vernon Davis,

264
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,319
Speaker 1: they bring something else, saying this team doesn't need a

265
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: lot of retooling. Colin Kaepernick is gonna be fine. He's

266
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna fall in the draft. I'll pick him up. I'll

267
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: be very happy with them next year. You know, it's

268
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,719
Speaker 1: funny to bring the point about Bill Walsh because those

269
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: first two seasons they were awful, like he was. He

270
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 1: was trying to put in this revolutionary style of offense

271
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: and the only one I think eight games in his

272
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: first two years. So you talk about eight games in

273
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: your first two years. Then you get to the NFC

274
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Championship game. But then you're back to earth at three

275
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: and six after a strike year. That's how history could

276
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: really change, because then Walsh could have been out. It's like,

277
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: all right, you had four years to really get this going.

278
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,839
Speaker 1: You took a huge step back after one year where

279
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: he took everybody by surprise, right, very true, and it's

280
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, and that's just the way. It's so

281
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 1: easy to look back now and look back at Joe

282
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 1: Montana's body of work with the four Super Bowls. There

283
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: were some years where he looked awful, you know, you know,

284
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: some of the Bears teams made him. I mean, I

285
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: know that he gave the Bears problems, so but there

286
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: were some years where they looked pretty at ordinary, where

287
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 1: the Giants made him look ordinary, where the Bears made

288
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: them look ordinary. So it's easy to sit back and

289
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: be like, oh, yeah, Montana greatest of all time, But

290
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: he did have some lean years. And you're looking at

291
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick in his first two seasons as a starter.

292
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 1: Thirsd like year and a half as a starter. He's

293
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 1: taking his team to the Super Bowl and the NFC

294
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: Championship Game. I think that's pretty good. I think Joe

295
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: Montana can save it and give his criticism he can't.

296
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: Why do you want to label this guy after such

297
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: a short, uh sample size? He'scott all, He's got all

298
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: this talent. I watched him plenty when he was in

299
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: college at Nevada. He's gonna be fine. He's gonna only

300
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: get better. He's working with Jim Harbaugh. He's gonna be great.

301
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: And he but again, because Joe Montana is coming out

302
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: and everybody wants to be like, oh now, if this guy,

303
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,839
Speaker 1: he obviously can't. Yeah, he obviously can't do it. After

304
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: getting his team to the NFC Championship Game for the

305
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: second year in a row. I'm waiting for Elvis Gerback

306
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: to weigh in on this. When do we hear from

307
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: Elvis Gerback? Well, part of it's also with Montana is

308
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: anytime it always all these uh quotes from players who

309
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 1: played in the past always come to intinged with well

310
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: when I played, when football was really a game. No

311
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: matter what sport it is, it comes across the way.

312
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: There's there's at least makeup of any any older player

313
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: who's been out of the game that wants to talk

314
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: about the old days saying this is when it was great. Well,

315
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: of course it was great, because it's when you were younger.

316
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: It's when you know, you were you were playing football

317
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,719
Speaker 1: and you were a star. Of course life was better.

318
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that when i'm you know, sixty six five,

319
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: you know, I'll tell you, you know what I was doing.

320
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: The podcast with Rank and Marcus. That was a podcast.

321
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: These podcasts now to actually deliver food, do you and

322
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: all this kind of stuff. Those a crazy podcast. I

323
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: mean I listened to d DFP number seven thousand, four

324
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: and twenty seven the other day, and I'll tell you

325
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: the stuff they did was crazy. That podcast went down

326
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: after you know, number five, you know, it just it

327
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: hasn't been the same podcast. Well that big that big

328
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: list that that that they did on TV. The top

329
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: ten podcasts and the top ten numbers of the podcast

330
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: was a big deal too. I mean Rank left after

331
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: a podcast five thousand two or in sixty five, and

332
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: that was a big one. That was a milestone, and

333
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: it went downhill after that. But you're absolutely right, these

334
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: players get too locked in. Did people even care about

335
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: football in the eighties. I'm not old enough to remember it,

336
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: but people wasn't a big Like wasn't when wins Baseball

337
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: was number one for how long? Or basketball was bigger?

338
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: And like when did football like really take off? Like

339
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: probably in the nineties, sometimes in the nineties, probably right

340
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: after baseball went on strike. I would think it's probably, Like, so, really, Montana,

341
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: nobody cares about your eighties. They started telling they started

342
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 1: televising the games in the nineties, which is a big

343
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: deal for NFL. That was a big thing, right. Uh.

344
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: Now you talked about Crabtree and obviously Frank Gore, who

345
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: we found out played most of the NFC type champions

346
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: game when he was in there with a broken hand.

347
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: What about these guys values for next year? Every year

348
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: we think Frank Gore, alright, I'm not drafting Frank Gore.

349
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna fall off the map. And every year Frank

350
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: Gore is still is a fantasy study, at least a

351
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: highend number two. This I said coming into this year

352
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: that this is this was still the year you could

353
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: count on Frank Goore. Everybody said, he's thirties, he's you know,

354
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: he's had a lot of work, he's wearing down. I said,

355
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: this year, you can still believe in Frank Gore. Next

356
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: year is when Frank Moore falls off. So I'm sticking

357
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: to that. Next year is the year that Frank Gore's

358
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: take takes a step back a little bit. I think

359
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: you'll see him kind of as a mid to lower

360
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: level number two, running back from a fantasy perspective. And

361
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: I just feel like the Niners realize that, you know,

362
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: for all the good work he's done for them, they

363
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,520
Speaker 1: do have to start transitioning out. And you saw it

364
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: later in the year this year with Kendall Hunter getting

365
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: more work. I think every now and then you'll see

366
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: the Michael James you haven't even mind. Marcus Lottimore will

367
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: be available for them next year. He basically had the

368
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: NFL equivalent of a red shirt this year. After that

369
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: that terrible injury he suffered at the end of his

370
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: career in South Carolina, and I wouldn't be surprised to

371
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 1: see a Lottimore get a lot more work in training

372
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: camp and in the preseason. And I think the Niners

373
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: love what he can bring athletically. I just think this

374
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: is this will be the year you start to see

375
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: Frank Gore see a little less work in that offense. Yeah,

376
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 1: somebody will grab him because of the name value and

377
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: let him go ahead. He's not Yeah, it's not somebody

378
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: that I would want to trust. What about Crabtree going

379
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: into next season, despite despite the sorryness that Richard Sherman says, No,

380
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 1: I like I I think he's a good a pretty

381
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: good uh number two options for you, and he's you know,

382
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: he's in that mid range. Full season with Colin Kaepernick,

383
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: full season healthy, and I think he could be very good.

384
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: Will he fall a little bit? I think people are

385
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: gonna say, Okay, we had a he had a you know,

386
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: nice comeback at the end of the regular season the playoffs.

387
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: But that's in a lot of people. All Right, if

388
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: I'm out of my fantasy playoffs, I'm not gonna pay

389
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: as much attention. He might fall an extra round or

390
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,440
Speaker 1: two because of that. But because he played so long

391
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: in the last play of the NFC Championship Game, or

392
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: at least offensively for the forty Niners. That notwithstanding, people

393
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: still saw what Michael Crabtree can do and he might

394
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: be somebody who moves up draft boards. As we started

395
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: talking about this next year, we're into June and July,

396
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: the buzz is gonna start growing about Michael Crabtree, about

397
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: him playing a full season, him and Kaepernick being able

398
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,479
Speaker 1: for the first time really to come in and have

399
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: a full off season together, work out together, and do

400
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff. The bus for him is gonna be

401
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: very strong headed in the next year. I mean I

402
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: would think him ahead of Joe Mauer because he's the

403
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: best catcher. Yeah. Well, John Bauer is also on the

404
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: downside of his career. Uh. The other team eliminated of

405
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: course with the New England Patriots and now going to

406
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: the next season. Questions about a lot of fantasy values,

407
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: none bigger than Tom Brady. He had a bad five

408
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: weeks stretch, a horrendous five weeks actually could potentially have

409
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: killed you in fantasy, but that he bounced back after that.

410
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: He was tremendous, especially when Rob Gronkowski came back. Where

411
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: are you gonna have him right next year, I know, right,

412
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: I know, now you're you know you can't quit tom Brady.

413
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: You probably have number one. I have him. I have

414
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: him in at least one keeper league, So that's good.

415
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'd be very comfortable with tom Brady if

416
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: you if you figure Rob Gronkowski is gonna be able

417
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: to go at the beginning of the season, that will

418
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: help out hopefully some of these receivers. Actually, you know,

419
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: once Julian Edelman started picking it up, then tom Brady

420
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: started playing a lot better. So as long as Julian

421
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: Edelman comes back, Danny Amendola is somebody I don't think

422
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: you can ever trust, so, but tom Brady has shown

423
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 1: like it doesn't really matter who the receivers are. He

424
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: can go out and play with just about anybody. You know.

425
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: I I'm still torn on tom Brady. I feel like coming,

426
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: I am hedging, I feel like coming in the next season,

427
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 1: he's going to be one of those guys right around

428
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: somewhere between eight and eleven when it comes to the

429
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: quarterback rankings next year. And my fear kind of came

430
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: true this year with Tom Brad is that he is

431
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: a guy who can win you football games, but can

432
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: he win you fantasy games? And he had that awful

433
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: stretch in the middle of the season when we were

434
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 1: talking about you do you drop him, do you trade him?

435
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: What do you do with him? And I just think that, um,

436
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: you know, until there are some more weapons in the

437
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: passing game, and I'm I just don't trust Rob gronkhows

438
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: get to be ready at the start of the year,

439
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: and I don't trust him to be the guy that

440
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: we've seen the last couple of years because of injury.

441
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: I think Brady is the guy who you know will

442
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: continue to be a very good quarterback in terms of

443
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: wins and losses. I don't know that he's going to

444
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: be a great quarterback in terms of your fantasy prospects.

445
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: But when Shane Vereen came back, that's really when he

446
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: started to come and play a lot better. That's true.

447
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned Edelman, and let's let's say obviously there's

448
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: could be some changes this offseason. Who knows what's gonna happen.

449
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,640
Speaker 1: Danny Amondol has got a lot of money, but they

450
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: Patriot will continue to read tool as they've always done.

451
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: If this is the same offense going into next year,

452
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,919
Speaker 1: how high you draft and Julian Edelman, I would take

453
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 1: him as my second receiver. I like him. It's hard

454
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: to it's it's hard to really put around value. I

455
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: always hate to do that because is each draft is different.

456
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: Strategies of all the different owners in your fantasy leagues

457
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,959
Speaker 1: are gonna be different with people who are gonna go

458
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: running back heavy. Some leagues go quarterbacks, like if you

459
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: play with some I played in leagues where everybody just

460
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: goes quarterback, like, even though it goes against our advice

461
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: and everything, but I see him as a solid number

462
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: two receivers, somebody that that you can go out and

463
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: count on to get a lot of targets, and that's

464
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: what you're that's what you're looking for a lot of

465
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: these times targets an opportunity somebody's getting looks, especially in

466
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: the red zone. So he's a solid wide receiver too

467
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: for me. I mean, he became the West Welker replacement

468
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: that we all thought Danny Amendola was going to be

469
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: at the I mean it turned into Edelman. He was

470
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: the guy, you know, when Dobson was struggling and Tompkins

471
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: was heard in Gronkowski was out, Edelman became the guy

472
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: that Brady felt like he could trust in just about

473
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: every situation, especially on third downs and in the red zone.

474
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: Now you said trust. So as far as the Patriots

475
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: running backs go, saying this week he wants to remain

476
00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: a Patriot, of course he wants me. He scored four

477
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: touch downs and was was crazy a week ago. Going

478
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: into next season, you have Blunt coming off the big postseason.

479
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: He filled in a few times this year and had

480
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: some okay games, but it was he was never got

481
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: the football as the number one. Stephen Ridley couldn't hold

482
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,600
Speaker 1: on to the ball. Shane Vereen wasn't healthy, So you

483
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: have all these question marks. Now going into next season,

484
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be healthy. They'll have these same three guys,

485
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: and now I look at this where I go. I

486
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: don't know that I can draft any of them. Because

487
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: it did. People are gonna want to draft him. Well, well,

488
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: I draft maybe the one that's left, Like in the

489
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: ninth or tenth racks. If someone takes Stephen Ridley and

490
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: Shane Vereen, people are gonna lay off the Garrett Blunt.

491
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: So if he's available in tenth or eleventh rout, I'm

492
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: looking for depth at running back. I'll take a flyer

493
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 1: on Blunt. Maybe he becomes the guy because he's a

494
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: guy you're probably gonna wave sometime in your first two

495
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: three weeks anyway, But early in the draft, I don't

496
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: know that I can take any of these guys now.

497
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: But now you once you start filling out your roster

498
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: and you have your you know, your two running backs,

499
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 1: your two receivers, tight end everything that you've got going on,

500
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: then you can start taking taking on risks like these guys.

501
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 1: And I look at the at Blunt pretty similarly to

502
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: the way that we looked at No. Sean Moreno last year.

503
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people didn't regard No Sean Moreno was

504
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: a number one running back. They talked about Ronnie Hillman,

505
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: Monty Ball came up, and you know, everybody's like, no, No,

506
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: Sean Marino is best seasons are behind him, even though

507
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 1: he's still a relatively young guy. But then you take No.

508
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: Sean Moreno in like the eleventh round, then he comes in.

509
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: He becomes the number one guy. He carried a lot

510
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: of fantasy teams. So I look at like Gerrit Blunt

511
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: in the same way as like, once I have my starters,

512
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: locked in, Why not take a chance on like Gerrit

513
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: Blunt because there there is an opportunity for him to

514
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: be a number one guy. I'm curious to see what

515
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: they do with some of the guys in the backfield

516
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: if they make some some moves there. You know whether

517
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: or not Stephen Ridley uh is gonna be around. I mean,

518
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: they'll forget There's there's also Brandon Bolden who you know,

519
00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: Kedy that came in and had some nice plays for

520
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,359
Speaker 1: for that offense this year too. So you always have

521
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: to worry that that Belichick is going to shift things

522
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: up and move things around on you. But I'm with Adam.

523
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think I think you can take a

524
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 1: risk or take a chance on some of these guys

525
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: later in your draft. Don't count on any one of

526
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: them to be your primary back. You're not. It may

527
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: not be a guy you're starting every week, but it's

528
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,399
Speaker 1: nice to know you've got la Garrett Blunt on the

529
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 1: on the bench in the event of the Patriots decide

530
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: they want to give him twenty five carries in a week.

531
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: All right, Other big news in the NFL this week then,

532
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: and this could affect Fantasy depending how this gets passed.

533
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: Commissioner Roger Goodell talked about the elimination of extra points, saying, look,

534
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 1: we saw five extra points missed this season. It's just

535
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: about as automatic a play as you want to. He

536
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 1: wants to create more drama on every play, So talking

537
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 1: about the abolishment of extra points, one idea he floated

538
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,879
Speaker 1: out there was a touchdown could be worth seven points.

539
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: If you get the extra point from play from scrimmage,

540
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: you could get eight. If you miss it, you go

541
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: back to six. So there's certain things that could go

542
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: out there that we're trying to figure out what to

543
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: do with the extra point. What's the best way if

544
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna abolish extra points and you're gonna make something

545
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: else after the touchdown? Is it another play from scrimmage?

546
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 1: Is it a further kick from the kicker? What? What?

547
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: What's the best thing? I mean, I I wouldn't mind

548
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,640
Speaker 1: the two point conversion to play. I think it'd be interesting.

549
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, I know that I think Pro

550
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: Football Talk kind of put their list of suggestions that

551
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 1: what I thought was interesting was have the player that

552
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: scored the touchdown be the person to kick the extra point,

553
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: so you get rid of the kicker. And so you know,

554
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: like every now and then, like you know, if you

555
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: get like a fat guy touchdown, you know, a fumble

556
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: recovered in the end zone and something you have your

557
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: your left tackle kicking the extra point, or you get

558
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: your running backs or whatever kicking the extra point. Um,

559
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: that certainly makes it less automatic. If all of a

560
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: sudden you've got Jamal Charles lining up to kick for you,

561
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: and you know, I think that adds it a little

562
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: bit of intrigue to it. Why do you gotta hate

563
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: on Sea Bass? I wanted to start the movement right

564
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: now hashtag saves Sea Bass because I find this personally offensive.

565
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't like full and right.

566
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 1: Why are you messing with it? Like you have you

567
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 1: have the number one game, like you smoke all the

568
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 1: other competition, like nobody's close NASCAR, BAH basketball, baseball so

569
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: far in the rear view mirror. Now this is your grain,

570
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 1: Like why are you even messing around? I hate when

571
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: people do this kind of stuff. It's almost like when

572
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 1: your wife sees you sitting there being happy, so she

573
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: just comes up and makes you do something just because

574
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: she can't stand it, Like, oh, you look very happy

575
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,160
Speaker 1: sitting there watching archer. Can you move the bikes inside?

576
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 1: Did this smile on my face personally offend you that

577
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: you had to go out and make me do Why

578
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 1: are you doing? Who cares? Like the extra points? Fine,

579
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: here's what you want to make it better? How about

580
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: no commercials after the extra point? How about no commercials

581
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: after the kickoff? That that would get rid of the commercials.

582
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: You're fine, you know what, that's the that's what I

583
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: would like eliminated. The extra point is good for me,

584
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: but the commercials kick off like extra point three commercials kickoff,

585
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: three commercials, boom, don't do it running the ticker. Soccers

586
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: found a way to master this. That's if you really

587
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: want to improve the game. If you're worried about the experience,

588
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 1: that's the one. Just roll roll the scroll Coca call

589
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: or excuse me, pepsi diet pepsi scroll, that's right there.

590
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: Whatever the three commercials are. And a lot of people

591
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: now you know, we talked about this before the show started.

592
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: Where you start uh television shows about twenty minutes in,

593
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: so you can just fast forward through all the commercials.

594
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: I did that this year with the Patriots and Broncos game,

595
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 1: and it was it was a it was a tough

596
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: thing because I was watching a w championship. No, no no, no,

597
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: it was the Sunday night. It's a it's a it's

598
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,919
Speaker 1: a dodgy proposition because I'm tweeting during the w w

599
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 1: E pay per view about like, hey, this is happening

600
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and so then you would see tweet

601
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: like people were like, oh my god, can you believe

602
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: what's going on? You're like, oh, wait, it's something weird

603
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 1: happening in the football game. So I had to turn

604
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: off Twitter. But that was the best way to watch

605
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: a game because then you're like, oh geez. So we

606
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: we went through that whole thing, and it took me

607
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: about an hour to watch the game. So you just

608
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: turn off all your social media. So that's the way

609
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: if you want to, Oh, I guess that's a weird

610
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 1: way of saying, that's my solution, But that is my solution.

611
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: And the announcers can even read the commercials. Read the commercials. Hey, okay,

612
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: while we're waiting for the teams to come back out.

613
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: Be sure to purchase a diet Pepsi this week for

614
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: your chance to see Bruno Mars at the Super Bowl

615
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: with the red hot chili pepper like My League Baseball.

616
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: You can do add you know, Joe's Vinyl sighting and

617
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: stuff too, the above Valvoline by Valve. Yeah, there it is,

618
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: isn't that that? Like if you look at the old

619
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,479
Speaker 1: like Martin and Lewis shows, like that's they would have.

620
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: They would literally perform commercials as part of their show.

621
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: Like you know what, here's the thing too, if you

622
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: get rid of if you get rid of the commercials,

623
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: especially the ones after the kickoffs go ahead, you can

624
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: sew a diet pepsi patch. I don't care, like that's

625
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: that's an affordable like because people who want to get

626
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: all offended by things like that, because if you see

627
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: like soccer kits or whatever happening eventually, right it's it's

628
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: already made its way to the practice Jersey. We should

629
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: be we should be more proactive as fans and be like, okay,

630
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: well we know this is coming. Let's get some of

631
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: our trade offs, like no, no, no, get rid of

632
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: this commercial block, and you can put diet pepsi on

633
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: the side of the the empty side of the steeler's helmet,

634
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: so you know the steeler thing here, you know the

635
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 1: diet Pepsi logo. Boom right there, don and Donne. Well,

636
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: I I love that idea. Sea Bass still has a job.

637
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: This is this is such a thing. This is such

638
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:29,720
Speaker 1: a you know, and I don't want to get political,

639
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: but you're taking you're taking food away from people's see backs.

640
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: These guys are employed. You're taking jobs away from these guys.

641
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: They went to college, they went they worked hard to

642
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: make it to the NFL. And you want to get

643
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: rid of specialists. All right, we'll get rid of the

644
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: nickel back. What's next? What's next? Well, first of all,

645
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: Sea Bass, wouldn't. I think you're worried about Sea Bass

646
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: for no reason because if it was a case where

647
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: as Marcus said, you have to the players score the touchdown,

648
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: kick the extra point. They'll just give him the football

649
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: on the one yard line. Let him run. He's bigger

650
00:28:57,800 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: than anybody. I'd love to see. And what where does

651
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: this man? Where does it stop? First it's point after touchdowns,

652
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,719
Speaker 1: then it's field goals, and then it's gonna come down to, like,

653
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: you know what, nobody's scoring touchdowns. That's what it's kind

654
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: of like, how do we keep scoring? We're not doing it? Man,

655
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: that's just the way it is. I don't I don't

656
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: know about field goals because I think we can always

657
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: add the rock and jock element and just have them.

658
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: You know, we can have the twenty point field goal,

659
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: which you don't make things interesting. Hey, you want to

660
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 1: line Sea Bass up from six and you can get

661
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, eight points out of it? Why not? They

662
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: should make the goal post like a giant net, Like

663
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: you can't go too high, so you're like you have

664
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: a top to it, so you have to like kick

665
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: it through and then see that would see, there will

666
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: be a lot of missfield goals. It'll be guys. I

667
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: didn't have to jump to block that kick right into

668
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: my stomach. See. But then again, why are you messing?

669
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 1: It's fine the way it is. Everything's good. Wait is

670
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: the NFL number one? Yes, it is all right. We're

671
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,959
Speaker 1: not gonna mess with it. We're good. You don't need

672
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: to make here's what you want to do if you

673
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: want to do it. That Navarro Bowman play. That's see,

674
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: that's the whole thing. This whole the whole thing about

675
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 1: like we might get rid of the extra points is

676
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: kind of disguising the Hey, what happened in Navaral bombing. No, no, no,

677
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: this is how this is like it's such a thing,

678
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: like it's such a like we'll get him on another

679
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: talking point like, uh, we're gonna you know, they're gonna

680
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: like we're gonna let receivers wear single digit numbers. So

681
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: then everybody always goes and talks about it. They're just

682
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: throwing anything out there to kind of be like, oh yeah,

683
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: remember the navaral bump, Like that's the thing. You want

684
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: to enhance it? How much we could review that? How

685
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: about that's a review. They should all be all no

686
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: early whistles? Should should Harbo? See if you do no

687
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: early whistles and every time the balls on the ground,

688
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 1: some wise guy is gonna pick it up and run

689
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: d other way, there's no whistle. I gotta make sure

690
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: and then it's a scoring place, so then it's got

691
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: to be reviewed. You don't want to go crazy. But

692
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: what about the thing with the running into the punter

693
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: where Hardbo is like, hey, he ran into he ran

694
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: into his plant leg. That should be a penalty. Why

695
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 1: can't he review that? Like there's so many other things

696
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: that can be reviewed. Why not that? Why not? Like

697
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: you guys missed the I mean, you're human, but we

698
00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 1: have replay technology. Why can't we Because it's more it's

699
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: more frustrating to have the technology and not use it

700
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: then to actually, you know, just have it like that,

701
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: well that plays reviewable, but not this one like that.

702
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: You know how everybody in the stadium can see that

703
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: Navarro bowman not only like he caught the ball out

704
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: of mid air and then laid down on the ground,

705
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: he held it like he had possession of it, and

706
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: like he should have been down. The play should have

707
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: been over right there. And then a guy sitting there

708
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: with the broken legs, some seahawk came and took it

709
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: from Like that's fair, but let's get rid of the

710
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: extra points, you know. But but that's the thing about

711
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 1: replay is that tell me and and and took baseball

712
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 1: forever to decide, Okay, we'll have replay. Tell me anything

713
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: else in the world that we have the technology for,

714
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: and we say that, I'm not gonna Oh, I'm not

715
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: want No. Are you gonna watch the Super Bowl this year?

716
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: I think I planned to. Yet. Okay, is there a

717
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: roof over that stadium? You have the technology to build,

718
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: that's going to have to be out there in it.

719
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: That's the thing that drives me crazy. The Angels lost,

720
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 1: and I'm the Angels lost at two thousand nine a

721
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: LCS because the Yankees wouldn't put a roof over their

722
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: stupid ballpark, and everybody it's it's tried, it's it's why

723
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: would you do that? No, no, no, no, no, you

724
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: you blew up the house that Ruth built. At that point,

725
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,880
Speaker 1: you've lost any any claim to like we're tradition NU.

726
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: When you built the stadium to build thousands of dollars

727
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: from people from corporations they could buy those stupid seats

728
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: behind home plate that nobody ever goes and sits in

729
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 1: at Yankee Stadium, that you've lost it. You cannot do it,

730
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: never put it. You can never put a dome over

731
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: Wrigley Field, Fenway Park because they've kept their stadiums. But

732
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: once you went to modern technology with all the bells

733
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: and whistles, then you know what, you've lost your right

734
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: to say no roof, put a roof over because you

735
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: have the technology to have a retractable roof. And that's

736
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: the thing that bothers me. So yes, that's where you

737
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: have technology and people don't use it. Because that's because

738
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: everything's like, well that's I'm like, well, you know, we

739
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 1: didn't have outhouses. You know there's outhouses like a hundred

740
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: years ago you put in indoor plumbing where where? Why

741
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: do you stop with the roof? Do you not? Like

742
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: why why do you have a floor in your house?

743
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: Like go old school, like to have have a dirt floor.

744
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: You should have been a carpenter. You've been saving this

745
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 1: up for a while. He just for a while. It

746
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: drives me crazy. That's like the number one thing of

747
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: any stadium being built anywhere, but being like, oh, you guys,

748
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: if it's in bad weather, if it's in a bad

749
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: weather area, which is pretty much anything outside of southern

750
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: California in San Diego, you put a roof. Even San

751
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: Francisco is getting pretty dog gone close to like you

752
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: might need to put a roof over this thing. It's

753
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: a live thing. You're close, you're pushing at Seattle like

754
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: what like, I don't get it. Do you have the

755
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: technology to have roofs that open and close? Had a

756
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: roof over it? Safego does think the link doesn't like

757
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: I had sold school now it's not old school, no, no, no,

758
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: we've We've long moved past that. Check autam ranks website

759
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: roofs across America across your stadium. But you're asking like

760
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's like if you want to

761
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 1: ignore technology, like there it is. You could put a

762
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: roof over a stadium in a cold place, like it doesn't,

763
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't. You had to and if you had two

764
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: teams contributing to one stadium and you couldn't, like hey, nobody,

765
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: not one. I feel like I was the only guy,

766
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: Like are they gonna put a roof over? Like even

767
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,839
Speaker 1: though what the Mets original proposal for their stadium, which

768
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: was supposed to go somewhere near the Hell's Kitchen type area,

769
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: I think because it was by the tunnel where they

770
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: were gonna put the Olympic Stadium, that one was going

771
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: to have a roof. And then like the Giants were

772
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: able to be like no, no, no, we don't. Why

773
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:04,800
Speaker 1: would we want to Why would we want our fans

774
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: to be comfortable? Why would we want them to enjoy

775
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: their experience? Like the Bengals weren't selling out their their

776
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: playoff games, Like why aren't they selling it up? Like

777
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: you've been outside in Cincinnati? Yeah, because people now have

778
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: televisions and high death TVs that you can sit at

779
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: home and watch your games and be like, Okay, do

780
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: I want to go sit out in the cold with

781
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 1: all the with all the you know, with all the

782
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: wind and the rain and everything like now, now that's like,

783
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just bugs me. I can't tell.

784
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: All right, let's get to the Senior Bowl here for

785
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: We've got Senior Bowl and Fantasy Pro Bowl Draft to

786
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 1: get to here and the rest of the podcast. Maybe

787
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: nobody has more at stake coming up Senior Bowl this weekend.

788
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: You get coverage on it right now and NFL dot

789
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: com talking about the players for the NFL Draft. Derek

790
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: Carr is right now, right around protective, right around the

791
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: tenth overall pick, and there's a lot of stake for him.

792
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,279
Speaker 1: You know, we talked about before the show coming off

793
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: a bad Bowl game, but another are bad performance could

794
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: really force his star stock to drop. Do you like

795
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: the fact that he's playing this game market? I do.

796
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: I think he really needs to to kind of answer

797
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: some questions after that. And and look, this guy I

798
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: watched for a long time. I mean I spent some

799
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: time in Fresno, and I followed the program and I

800
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: watched him a lot over his his four years there

801
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 1: at Fresno State. Uh. I think in terms of physical ability,

802
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,959
Speaker 1: he has all the gifts. I mean, he's a big guy,

803
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: he's got a good strong arm. Uh. He can be

804
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: accurate when you give him time. But the one question

805
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: that came up after the bowl game is what is

806
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: he going to do in the face of pressure? And

807
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: sc got a lot of pressure on him with their

808
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: their rush upfront. Uh, their corners were very physical with

809
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,919
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, and he struggled. He wasn't accurate. He

810
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: he looked like he was kind of chucking and ducking

811
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: a little bit there. And I think this week, uh,

812
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,880
Speaker 1: if the Senior Bowl is going to be his chance

813
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: to prove that he can stand in in the face

814
00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: of pressure, that he can continue to be accurate. I

815
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: think once he proves that, then I think he's a

816
00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,919
Speaker 1: guy who who slides nicely into the maybe the first

817
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 1: half of the first round. Then something. He's got fantasy value.

818
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 1: He does have a little bit of fantasy value. See,

819
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: I don't think he should have played once Fresno State

820
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: was eliminated from the BCS. Like I wouldn't have played

821
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: in the Las Vegas Bowl had been like, no, I'm

822
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: gonna sit this one out. I would have came up

823
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,479
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury or something. Even now, I would

824
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 1: go to the Senior Bowl practice, impressed the coaches, and

825
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: then right at the and be like, you know what,

826
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: my hamstring I don't I don't think I can give

827
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: it a go, and then suddenly show up at the

828
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: combine like not, my hamstring is great, Yeah, look, hey

829
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: I can Why why go and disprove it. It's one

830
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: of those things like a what is the thing that

831
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: they say about wisdom? Like a fool? I don't know,

832
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna miss this quote. We can edit that right now. No, no,

833
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: keep it. Why open? But why open your mouth on

834
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: a race out doubt? Why show people that you might

835
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: not be able to play because you did enough good

836
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: things at Fresno State to where after that game they

837
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: lost to who was at Santose State. I would have

838
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 1: been like, you know, we're good, We're good. Uh, I've

861
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: Final final night, the professor said, all right, we're gonna

Speaker 1: we're gonna watch a movie out and let me go

863
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 1: turn it on. He went into projector booth and the

864
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: lights went out and then he heard like kind of

865
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: scuffling and everybody's kind of laughing, and then the spotlight

866
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: came on and he was dressed up like Michael Myers

867
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: and he jumped in front of a bunch of people

868
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: in the front of the class. That was awesome. I

869
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: don't remember anything in my other classes, but that's what

870
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: I remember. What does this clown college you want? Hey,

871
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,479
Speaker 1: it's some defeated in college basketball this year. I feel

872
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: like I feel like, here's how Syracuse orientation goes in.

873
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: Everybody walks into the Carrier Dome like, look, we're not

874
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: gonna teach you anything. We're gonna build your parents for

875
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: all their money for four years. We're gonna tell everybody

876
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 1: it's this grade school. Don't blow the scam. And Jason,

877
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: you just blew the scam and then you let everybody

878
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,759
Speaker 1: in on it. So in Syracuse, I want an investigation. Now,

879
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,160
Speaker 1: nobody's years ago. It's oh, I didn't go to I know,

880
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: I went to less than half of my classes. I

881
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 1: went to less half of my classes. It was I'm

882
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: a first first semester. It was all sign up for

883
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: eight thirty classes. Because I went to school at eight

884
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: o'clock and in high school and that was fine, extra

885
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 1: half hour to sleep. Forget you have people forcing you

886
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: to get up. In high school, there was yet it

887
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: was never happening. Never happening. That's a joke. But I

888
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 1: went in draft Derek Carr next season, all right, Well

889
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: the thing, there's my fantasy from fantasy perspective, or you're

890
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to draft somebody because there's gonna be eleven

891
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks taken in the first twelve picks. There's gonna be

892
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 1: big turnover, and trying to find out that the one

893
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: couple of guys with fantasy valley is gonna be a

894
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 1: big deal. I think. I think the guy who will

895
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 1: be the biggest wild card in the draft will be

896
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. I think, yeah, because because you've got this,

897
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: you've got such a wide range of opinions on this guy,

898
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: from he can be a star and he can go

899
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: like high in the first round to you know, teams

900
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: saying that he's not a first day guy at all. Um.

901
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: I think whatever happens with Teddy Bridgewater over the next

902
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: few weeks or so is going to impact a whole

903
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: lot of other guys in the draft, wild car, wild Card.

904
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna fall, He's the Texans are gonna end up

905
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: going defense. St. Louis is gonna have to either go

906
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: offensive line, the Jacks will go Sammy Watkins. And then

907
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: there's Johnny Football at number four of the Browns Bridgewater

908
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 1: maybe two five. By the way they coaching, why why

909
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,399
Speaker 1: do they look at just gaze turned down, turned down

910
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: to interview. I don't even want to interview, and I'm

911
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm willing to do it, like huld I be any

912
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: worse than what Michael Lombardi has done to that franchise.

913
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 1: I what like I even I knew, like dude, I

914
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't have touched Devon bess Over for anybody. And I

915
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: and I root for the University of Hawaiian Football, and

916
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 1: I knew better. But the Browns have gone the last

917
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: since they've been rebooted, They've gone the route of hiring

918
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 1: football people. What has it done for him? Football coaches?

919
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: They're not winning any games. You go out, you find

920
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: a gamer like myself who has some new ideas, a

921
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: new way to look at the NFL. What what? What

922
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: are the Browns gonna lose? What are you gonna become

923
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 1: a laughing stock. What do you think's happening? Now? This again,

924
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: this is, this is the thing, this is, this is,

925
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,520
Speaker 1: this is like what Roger's doing with the Oh we

926
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: might get rid of the extra points to to kind

927
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: of mask some of the things I don't want people

928
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: talking about. You go out and hire me. Everything else

929
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 1: just goes away, like nobody will remember that you traded

930
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 1: for Devon Bass or what else is going on with

931
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: that organization. All of the the entire focus will be

932
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: on what I'm gonna do. And I'll tell you what.

933
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:25,719
Speaker 1: And this is. This isn't posturing or anything. I say

934
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: I would win eight games first season. I could. I

935
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: could get that team to eight wins. I have no

936
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: why are you laughing? Because I thought the first thing

937
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do is put a roof on the stadium.

938
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 1: I thought that's how we're gonna say if we're if

939
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: we build a new stadium, there will be a roof.

940
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: I guarantee it. But that's the thing. I feel I

941
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: could do it. I feel my playbook would be inventive.

942
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,800
Speaker 1: I've shown time and time again that I can beat

943
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: the competition. I the NFL's two locked into these rules

944
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: of like punning on fourth down and stuff like that.

945
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: I go because you know what, you see these teams

946
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: they go nuts, like when they I saw it from

947
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: the Broncos. Were these teams. It's like fourth, it's third

948
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,359
Speaker 1: and three. They don't make it. And then the teams look, yeah,

949
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,720
Speaker 1: like the defenders are holding up their fist and whatever.

950
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: And then when you see the alph when you see

951
00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: the offense staying out there, the other team becomes so defeated.

952
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: They just look. You just see that. You just see

953
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: the fear in their eyes. And so with me, wild

954
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:28,799
Speaker 1: card you do, and I'm never I'm going whatever. I'm

955
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,399
Speaker 1: gonna go. You know what, First and ten, I'm gonna

956
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: go punt formation, punt formation, punt block D against you

957
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 1: and see if you'll be able to stop all eleven

958
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 1: of the guys before the quarterback and throw the football.

959
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: That's like the early days of Madden. When you do that,

960
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: it's third and nine. I'm gonna play punt block D

961
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: and everybody see if it works. Punt pass is the

962
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: best play in Joe Montana football. Christian they need, they

963
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: need some new ideas in Cleveland. I think I can

964
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: do it. I think I can bring a friend. They

965
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: made fun of Chip Kelly last year, but I think

966
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: I could go out and make the similar type impact

967
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: with the Browns. And you know what, I I don't

968
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 1: want to guarantee the NFC North or excuse me, the

969
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 1: a f C North, But you know what, eight wins

970
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 1: I guaranteetter what division you play? If the Browns hire

971
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: me today, we will get eight wins. How I don't know.

972
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: I just feel like, God, you know what, bring back

973
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 1: Romeo Cranelvin. Feel like we're feel like this is the

974
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,879
Speaker 1: NFL equivalent of Little Big League, you know, like we're

975
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 1: just gonna It's like this is what they should do. Wait,

976
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:34,520
Speaker 1: wasn't that with the kid who with the armed Sorry?

977
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 1: Was that the one with Jerry O'Connell. Now that was something, Yes,

978
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: thank you. And here's the thing, here's what you do.

979
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,879
Speaker 1: You want the money making you always? You know, there

980
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: there's talk that the NFL may spin off the Thursday

981
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: Night Football No, no no, no, Here's what we do reality

982
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,240
Speaker 1: TV show to be the next coach of the Browns,

983
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: But no one would said it. They would offer to people,

984
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: people would say, I don't want it, bro, what about

985
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: America's team? They came in in the America's you know what, Yeah,

986
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: why don't they could? Probably you know what they want

987
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: to be. You know, hey, we want to be more interactive.

988
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: If every fan at the game gets to vote on

989
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: the next play, what do you think attendance for the

990
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: Browns games would be through the roof just to sit

991
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: there and go and be like do you have to

992
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: be at the game or can you just be at

993
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: home on your phone? But if you had a roof

994
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: over the stadium, then you'd have a nice linking all

995
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,280
Speaker 1: these things to the chairs. You what other like modern

996
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 1: technologies do you not have on your house that I'm like,

997
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 1: you have a restroom and you have you have a

998
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: roof over your house? I do? Then why is it

999
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,399
Speaker 1: so ridiculous to think that there should be a roof

1000
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: over a stadium where you're hanging out? Because teams want

1001
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: to say this is our home field advantage where it's

1002
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: going to be cold and we're used to the elements

1003
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: how to work out for Green Bay this year, they

1004
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 1: really really no reason to play the game. They really

1005
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: made the forty Niners look silly coming over and playing

1006
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 1: out there. It's ridiculous. Why not just be warm? Well,

1007
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:57,919
Speaker 1: I was really concerned when they were going to build

1008
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: an open air stadium on the ice planet of Hoffs,

1009
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: so that that could be a problem. Next year they

1010
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: did with their base, they had too many open doors

1011
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: still worked out for them. They somehow ended up pulling

1012
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: that whole thing out. You talked about new ideas and

1013
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: and something that's been big this offseason has been the idea.

1014
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: Maybe been paying attention, but the Pro Bowl was on

1015
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: conference this year. What you know, everybody you can you

1016
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 1: can vote for players regardless of conference. And now we

1017
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 1: have the big naming of the Pro Bowl rosters coming up.

1018
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: Deon Sanders Jerry Rice are picking the players fantasy style draft.

1019
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: Anybody you want to So let's throw this out there.

1020
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,720
Speaker 1: If you're picking number one overall, you know the players.

1021
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: Everybody is at eligible players one. Tom Brady has pulled

1022
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,320
Speaker 1: out players playing in the Super Bowl number one overall.

1023
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,480
Speaker 1: Pick who are you picking for your team? Are you

1024
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: are we counting Jamal Charles, who's one of the captains,

1025
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 1: account any anybody, anybody you want see this is what

1026
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 1: they should do. Whoever wins. Between Dion and Jerry Rice

1027
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: coaches the Browns. Those guys are picking who are the

1028
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: actual coaches like I and Drew Brees and Jamal Charles.

1029
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,640
Speaker 1: It's like Drew Brees, their captains are Jamal Charles, Drew Brees,

1030
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: Robert un Bobby Quinn. And but if I if everybody

1031
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: in the pool was eligible, it would be between McCoy

1032
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: and Charles. I go Charles just because he scored fifty

1033
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: points for me in a fantasy league this year. And uh,

1034
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: and I'm that kind of person. I leaned towards the

1035
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: guys who got me there. I I mean, that's the

1036
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 1: way I'll draft guys, guys who have ruined me. I'll

1037
00:47:29,320 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: never draft against Stephen Jackson, will never be although I

1038
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson came through for me in Week fifteen, I

1039
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: think it was this season, so I won't completely eliminate

1040
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: him like oh, like Trent Richardson done forever, I don't care.

1041
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: But Jamal Charles now can never do anything wrong in

1042
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: my eyes, so I would go with him. He could

1043
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: do so much running the ball, catching the ball, And

1044
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 1: that's the big thing. That's the way the running backs

1045
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: are equipped now that we're gonna see guys like Adrian

1046
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: Peterson will be a relic of the past, kind of

1047
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: like the fullback kind of like the blocking tight end

1048
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: tighten who just blocked exclusively. All the running backs in

1049
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: the future are gonna be like Jamal Charles, who do

1050
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 1: a lot of different things, who can line up all

1051
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 1: over the field. So he's the first guy would go with.

1052
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,880
Speaker 1: I think, uh, well, from a fantasy perspective, I think

1053
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: I take Jamal Charles. But if we're talking just this

1054
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl, this unconferenced thing, um, I'm growing Drew Brees.

1055
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm going Drew Brees because he seems like he cares.

1056
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: He loves the Pro Bowl exactly like you. He can

1057
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: pick all these guys and yeah, they show up and

1058
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: you know, they kind of go through the drills and

1059
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: you know it's like I'm here and why and it's great.

1060
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: But like Drew Brees, I feel like Drew Brees is

1061
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: the guy who walks around the hotel with his iPad

1062
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: with the playbook on it and it's like studying and

1063
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: he's kind of figured out audibles and this whole thing,

1064
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 1: and you know, like like I feel like he is

1065
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: really gonna approach this game like it was another playoff games.

1066
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,400
Speaker 1: That's the guy I would take. Plus the quarterbacks would

1067
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: love the Pro Bowl because that nobody hits him. That's

1068
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: part of it. It's it's it's basically passing like they

1069
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: might as well be wearing a red jersey. So of

1070
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: course it's fun for him and he has legitimately trying.

1071
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: So do you guys like this idea with with the

1072
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,000
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl moving forward? Is is this gonna something that's

1073
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna help the the continued reviving of the Pro Bowl? Um? No,

1074
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 1: I look, I just feel like because for for a

1075
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: lot of these guys, it's a vacation. It's it's um.

1076
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about it. How many guys don't care,

1077
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: how many guys choose to not be there. I mean,

1078
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:26,279
Speaker 1: as soon as the Patriots lost, you know, Tom Brady

1079
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,000
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna show up at the Pro Bowl. Um. I

1080
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:29,319
Speaker 1: mean that's just kind of how I didn't show up

1081
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: for the a f C Championship game. UM. I've always

1082
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: felt like, you name your Pro Bowl teams, those guys

1083
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: get a bonus and they get a vacation to Hawaii

1084
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 1: or whatever with their families, and you know you wore them,

1085
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: you pat them on the bag, you move on. I mean,

1086
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: the the idea of an all Star game this late

1087
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: in the season. It just I don't know. I don't

1088
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: know that it will ever have a whole lot of

1089
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:58,680
Speaker 1: luster to it. Two things, Uh, building Aloha Stadium, they

1090
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: don't need a roof, if that ever happens. I don't

1091
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: like that the Pro Bowls before the super Bowl because

1092
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of like having spring break the week before finals.

1093
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 1: Like it was fun. The Pro Bowls a fun event

1094
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: when it's after the season, when everything is just kind

1095
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: of done and everything, you know, everybody's having a good time.

1096
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry about like I gotta jump

1097
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: on a plane and go to New York and and

1098
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl and everything like that, and

1099
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: just have it as the final week and have it

1100
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:26,760
Speaker 1: as a reward and have it as a game. Sorry,

1101
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,880
Speaker 1: it won't be. It's not gonna draw the ratings of

1102
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl ever, and they're never gonna capture that.

1103
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 1: It's never gonna capture the imagination like the playoffs or

1104
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: anything like that. But still it's a fun event. And

1105
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,040
Speaker 1: if you've ever been to one, if you especially the

1106
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: ones that have been in Hawaii, because I didn't go

1107
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: to the one that was in in South Florida, but

1108
00:50:43,800 --> 00:50:45,839
Speaker 1: the ones that are in Hawaii. It's a great event.

1109
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: It's a lot of fun. Everybody who goes to the

1110
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: game has a good time. All the events leading up

1111
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: to the game, we're a good time. And I understand

1112
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: a lot of big name people like Tom Brady don't

1113
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: like to go. You know what, who cares? That's looking

1114
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a kin to looking at the evite

1115
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 1: to a party and lamenting all the people who have

1116
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: clicked No. Well, you know what, if you want to

1117
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,279
Speaker 1: click no, who cares? I don't, Tom Brady. If you

1118
00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: don't want to play, fine, Alex Smith does, and I'm

1119
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: gonna go watch him. And I'm gonna go have a

1120
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 1: great time in Hawaii, and I'm gonna enjoy it. And

1121
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: it's a nice event. And for those guys who really

1122
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: appreciate it, like Drew Brees and stuff, go out and

1123
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: play and have a good time, and then don't worry

1124
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 1: about who doesn't want to play. All the crow Mudgeons

1125
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 1: like fine, stay at home, Just stay in your bell

1126
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: Air home and not win Super Bowls anymore, and do

1127
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. Tom Brady, I'm gonna go out

1128
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 1: and have a good time. You're not gonna ruin my vacation.

1129
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: Like it's fine, Like I'll just go out and do

1130
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: what I gotta do. I say, keep it, just put

1131
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 1: it back at the end of the season where it

1132
00:51:36,640 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: deserves to be, and uh, don't worry about it. It'll

1133
00:51:40,160 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: still draw more ratings than a lot of the stuff,

1134
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: a lot of the sports that you're putting on in

1135
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,479
Speaker 1: February anyway, So don't worry about it. Again. You're overthinking things,

1136
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: trying to tweak things too much that don't really need

1137
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: to be tweaked. The Pro Bowl is good. It was fun,

1138
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 1: It was a great event. Still is a good event.

1139
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: But I would just put it back and you're good.

1140
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,240
Speaker 1: All right, There we go. There is the NFL Fantasy

1141
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,480
Speaker 1: Live podcast for this week, all the news you need

1142
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: to know. Fantasy projections for next season. Will be back

1143
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 1: next week with our big Super Bowl preview edition. But

1144
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,440
Speaker 1: oh you will be and you will be in New

1145
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: York for the Super Bowl, Mr Rank wearing shorts and

1146
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:15,279
Speaker 1: an open air stadium. Let me so now you need

1147
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: to give us your pick. Now, I gotta do another

1148
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:23,919
Speaker 1: soapbox issue. Here we go. I'm kidding, I Uh, I can't.

1149
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: I can't really make the pick without seeing the weather.

1150
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: I really, I mean it seems be called. I don't

1151
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,280
Speaker 1: think that it is. I think it's gonna be sixty degrees.

1152
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 1: I think that the sixty degrees in February are gonna smile. Look,

1153
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: it was sixty. It was like seventy in Denver in

1154
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,560
Speaker 1: the middle of January. Like anything is possible, but if

1155
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: it is cold. You know what. The thing that really

1156
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 1: stuck out to me, and you talk about body language

1157
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:49,759
Speaker 1: in the way that the Patriots look listless out there

1158
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: when Peyton Manning brings his entire family to Denver, when

1159
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 1: Cooper and Eli and Archie or cram to new a

1160
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:59,959
Speaker 1: box at the at the invest Wait, no sports authority field,

1161
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: that looked like that was Peyton super Bowl, Like he

1162
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: this is my super Bowl, this is it. I've I've

1163
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: proven everybody wrong. Well you know you really didn't. But

1164
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: I think he knows and he saw that the riding

1165
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: on the wall. It's like, I'm gonna have to go

1166
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,360
Speaker 1: to a cold weather stadium. I'm gonna be playing Seattle

1167
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: or San Francisco. And you watched the way Colin Kaepernick

1168
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: and Russell Wilson, how they were able to extend plays

1169
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 1: would by be just being able to scramble out of

1170
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: the pocket. Peyton can't do that. He's gonna be overwhelmed

1171
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: by that pass rush. The Seahawks are gonna blow them

1172
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:33,440
Speaker 1: out by forty by forty nah thirty six. Oh that's

1173
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: not gut se at all. But you know it happened.

1174
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,320
Speaker 1: They'll bet eight to twelve. It happened to Peyton Manning

1175
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: in two ten. He had that phenomenal a f C

1176
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 1: Championship game against the Jets, and he got to bounce

1177
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl against the Saints, and I can

1178
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,359
Speaker 1: easily see that happening now. I mean, he's not gonna

1179
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 1: play any better than he played against the Patriots. And

1180
00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: still how many points. They didn't put up a ton

1181
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: of points. This is nowhere near what they're facing what

1182
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,240
Speaker 1: they faced a couple last week with the Patriots defense

1183
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: in the Seattle Seahawks. So after cold too, it's gonna

1184
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,359
Speaker 1: be hard. Denver's the favorite, but it's gonna be it's favor,

1185
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be hard to pick Denver. Um. You

1186
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: guys are acting like the Seahawks are gonna score a

1187
00:54:08,440 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: whole lot of points, Like I just don't see them

1188
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: scoring and I know Harvan's gonna play, They're gonna score.

1189
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 1: Harvan will be hurt by the mid of the first quarter.

1190
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: I mean, look, the Broncos defense is not as good

1191
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: as San Francisco's, but they have been playing a lot

1192
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: better in the postseason, and the the Seattle offense has

1193
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: been uneven, to say the least. I mean, Russell Wilson

1194
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 1: hasn't been great. His wide receivers are you know, a

1195
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: they're They're less of a who's who and more of

1196
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 1: a who's that. Um. You know. I I'm one of

1197
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: those people who thinks that Denver will find a way

1198
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: to win. They have played really great team football, and

1199
00:54:40,760 --> 00:54:44,320
Speaker 1: everybody's focused on what Peyton Manning has done, but everybody

1200
00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,439
Speaker 1: has stepped that. The offensive line has played very well,

1201
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:49,279
Speaker 1: He's gotten big plays out of his receivers. No, Sean

1202
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: Moreno and Monte Ball have run the ball very well.

1203
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 1: I just feel like Peyton is the guy. He's obviously

1204
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 1: the face of this team. But they have really put

1205
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: things together and they are playing as well as they've

1206
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: played all year. But it's like one of those jail breaks,

1207
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: like those Super Bowls for that used to be blowouts

1208
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 1: in the eighties. Is it's it's not necessarily that the

1209
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,360
Speaker 1: offenses are scoring so many points, but it's like the

1210
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: jail breaks. Like when the Cowboys crushed the Buffalo Bills

1211
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: that one year, it was you know, interception returns, fumbles

1212
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 1: inside the red zone and things like that that turned
