26
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,440

27
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: buddy David Martinez from SAP got us just unbelievable seats

28
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: where four rows behind home plate, just to the left.

29
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: Cool hanging out there watching the game. All of a sudden,

30
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: who steps down one section over but Kate Upton. Hello.

31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Two of her friends, both men. Were they playing the Tigers. Yes,

32
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: they were playing the Tigres. So she was there to

33
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: support her her boyfriend, Justin Verlander. And of course my

00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: buddies are all going nuts. Oh my god, Kate Upton's there.

35
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Kate Upton is there. So she gets

36
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: up quickly after, goes back um and doesn't come back.

37
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: So we're thinking, oh, well, that was our Kate Upton

38
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: sliding for for the game. Athanning comes around. We move

00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: one section over so we're right behind home plate. Second

40
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: row watching and all of a sudden, she comes back

41
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: and sits right behind us. My guys are like, dude,

42
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: she's right behind a Skate Upton's right behind us, and

Speaker 1: you're trying. You're trying to You're trying to look and

44
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: not look. Just laughing at this. I imagine the stage

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: whisper of she's right behind. It was like that market.

46
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: It was. It was like So I told my buddy Dave,

47
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, I'm talking to her like I don't

48
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: care it's Skate Upton, but I have to talk to her, right,

49
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm never going to get this opportunity, and plus, you

50
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: gotta have a story for the NFL Fantasy Live podcast.

51
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: So I'm texting with Adam Waynewright, who's a good buddy

52
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: of mine. He knows Justin. So I'm thinking this is

53
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: my inn. If Adam met Kate, I can boom, I'm in.

54
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 1: So Adam texted me back and said, now, I don't

55
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: know her, but I'm a fan of her work. So

56
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I'm still gonna use your name.

57
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: So I turned around and I said, Kate, uh, do

58
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: you play fantasy football? Of course, the question that comes

59
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: out of my moket. I'm not picking her up. I'm

60
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: not trying to up and it's Kate Upton. I mean

61
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: I got no shot. So um, she says no. She

62
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: looks at me like I'm a little bit strange. Okay,

63
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: that's a weird question to be asked. Then I get

64
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: into how I know Adam and that Adam knows Justin

65
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: and do you know Adam? And she doesn't know him.

66
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: I asked her if she is a football fan. She

67
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: says she is. She's a Jets fan because her sister

68
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: worked for the Jets. Now, as luck might have it,

69
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: back before MetLife opened, me and one of my best friends,

70
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: Bill got a tour of MetLife and guess who was

71
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: the person who showed us around another than her sister,

72
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: Christie Upton. So I brought a Christie and the conversation

73
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: just bloomed. We talked for like ten or fifteen minutes.

74
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun. She's a really sweet girl. Um,

75
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: And believe it or not, I actually got her into

76
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: our Fantasy football Celebrity league. He has never played fantasy

77
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: football before. Now she will be playing. And she said

112
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,559
Speaker 1: we've seen this. I feel like we've heard this story

113
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: from person a couple of times in the last few

114
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 1: seasons that you know, I don't want to be a

115
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: gadget guy. I can do so much more. I can

116
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: be an outside receiver and you know, and it just

117
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened yet. So now he's going to a

118
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: team with a top notch running back in Lashawn McCoy. YEP,

119
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: A couple of good young wine outs with Sammy Watkins

120
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: and Robert Woods there and a team that is talking

121
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: in all seriousness about naming Tyrod Taylor is their starting quarterback.

122
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what this is is Percy Harvard

123
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: in this refrain has become our like Ross and Rachel are,

124
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: Sam and Diane are j D and Elliott of the

125
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy season, Sam and Diane gotta get out of cheers

126
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: reference and people are going to continue to believe it,

127
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: but you can't. This is this is not going to happen.

128
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: And for our thing on the on the site this morning,

129
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: how many times is Percy Harvon ever had a thousand

130
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 1: receiving yards in the season zero zero one big year

131
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 1: in Minnesota and everyone loved him because he was so versatile.

132
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: And it's one big year though that was the that

133
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: was the lockout year to where everybody had huge numbers,

134
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: Like everybody went bananas that year. And if you think

135
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: about it too, and I wrote a column about teams

136
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: losing targets, think about the targets that the Bills have now.

137
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: They added Percy Harbin and Charles Clay and didn't really

138
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: lose anybody and Shady and Shady's gonna catch passes on

139
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: the backfield, So not enough to go around, especially with

140
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: that lousy quarterbacks. By the way, it's the same coaching

141
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: staff that he had last year for eight games, you know,

142
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like it's a new look. It's

143
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: exactly Yet twenty nine catches, three fifty yards, one touchdown

144
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: eight games with the same coaching staff, and he had

145
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: a better quarterback in New York? Did he? J Manuel

146
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: or Tyrod Taylor? Man? When when we're saying Castle, when

147
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: we're reported great at quarterbacks, we got horrible in the

148
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: off season. Who hast Castle? Really? Wow? What a surprise?

149
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: I think? Shot, we can bury this breaking news. Matt

150
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: Castle does not look good. Race down and write that story.

151
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: People need to know, all right, second headline, basically we're

152
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: not buying it. Look, let's just put a bowl on

153
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: this thing. Percy Harvin. Draftable, not draftable, draftable, but not

154
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: until one of the last three or four rounds wide

155
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: receiver five maybe not counting that that is a that's

156
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: a not draftable all right. Darren McFadden says he feels

157
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: quote like a rookie all over again. That's what he

158
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: told the Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette. By the way, that

159
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: sounds like a paper from the onion, Yes area man's

160
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: excited about football season Northwest Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Can't they

161
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: shorten that to like an acronym or something, the n

162
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: A d G, the n A d G, the NADGA

163
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: solid Uh. He's had three consecutive seasons of less than

164
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: three and a half yards per carry, but that was

165
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: with the Lowly Raiders. He's got a new city, and

166
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: more importantly, he's got a new offensive line. What are

167
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: we expecting from Darren McFadden, Well, not much because to me,

168
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: I'm all about Joe Randall. As long as he keeps

169
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: his head on straight, that's the guy. I've got some

170
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: contacts there in Dallas, and they, the Cowboys coaching staff,

171
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: really thinks he can come in and take off McFadden

172
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: is what he is. I mean, he's he's had one

173
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: good year. He can't stay healthy. Samstring feels great now,

174
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: but I guess what happens once you get closer to

175
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: these season injuries. Mount Randall is shooting up draft boards. Um,

176
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: he barely missed my top five rounds in the mock draft.

177
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: That okay, So he's just outside your tope right now.

178
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: Right now, he's right around sixty six round. But if

179
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: he starts looking unreal in training camp in preseason, you

180
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: watch his stock shoot, right, I would agree with that.

181
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. But is anyone here taking

182
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 1: the run dmc versus Joe Randall? Uh? Anyone taking Darren

183
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: McFadden in that battle? Can I just point something outshore?

184
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: Is fabs upping his fantasy journalism game. He's got contact?

185
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: Is that contact Elliott Harrison? It is not. It is

186
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: actually someone who's very close to the Cowboys. That's right.

187
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: I was just I was just getting Lawson exactly. That's right.

188
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: But you know, I remember baby Laufenberg blew a game

189
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: of course against Atlanta. Cowboys would have made the playoffs.

190
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: Aikman was hurt. Forget it all, right, let's go off.

191
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: Anyone taking Dann McFadden in this battle. Not over Joseph Randall? No,

192
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: I might, I might jumping off the cliff. I I

193
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: need to go. I'm going to probably this week dive

194
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: back into the film and the stats and really do

195
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: a deep dive on both these guys and see what

196
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: we can discern. Unfortunately, all that is probably gonna be

197
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: for not because it could all change once the pads

198
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: come on in about a month, but I might be

199
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: down to get run DMC on there a little clamation

200
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: project behind a great offensive line quarterback clarified, Like, I'm

201
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: not totally down on on Darren mcfash, but I do

202
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: think being in Dallas is a good situation for him,

203
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: certainly better than if he had stayed in Oakland. At worst,

204
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: he's a top flight handcuff and that's that's kind of

205
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: how I view him. I mean, I think, I think,

206
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: I think he'll begin the year as the starter. I

207
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: just think somewhere middle of the season, Randall's gonna take Yeah,

208
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: I think I think I think mcfaton will come out

209
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: of camp as the starter, but I think somewhere before

210
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: the seasons out, you'll see Randall take over. And I

211
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: think he made up leading that team and carries when

212
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: it's all say, you know what's funny, I think, uh,

213
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 1: it's if I just want to transpose those two names.

214
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: I really feel like Joe Randall is gonna start the

215
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: season as the starter, with run DMC kind of carrying

216
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: the mail later in the season. Um, because I look

217
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: at the I look at the size and skill set

218
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: of Joe Randall. I like him. You know, maybe I

219
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: don't like his size and skill set, but it's hard

220
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: not to like that offensive line, hard not to like

221
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,479
Speaker 1: that offense. Uh So yeah, in that in that situation,

222
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: you love Joe Randall. But maybe he starts to wear

223
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: down break down a little bit in the second half

224
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: of the season. Uh and maybe Darren McFadden then becomes

225
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: again just an unbelievable handcuff. But like time, I we're

226
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: saying that mc fan's gonna take over because someone else

227
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: is going to hang on. Well, he's gonna be sitting

228
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: on the side saddle for a while. Man, you know,

229
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: unless they just go with the full out committee approach,

230
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: which you know, I don't know, Alex. I could see

231
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: that happening. I could see it being a committee hold

232
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: on him crunching some numbers here, hit um, But Joseph Randel,

233
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: I need to do a little bit more math. So

234
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 1: Marcus and Fabb's fill in for me. I typically go

235
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: upside over experience. Actually when that experiences his injury prone

236
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: is Darren mcidden. And he's a good dude. I mean,

237
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: I've interviewed McFadden. I like him as a person. I

238
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: just can't trust him. And Randall has the type of

239
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: upside where he could end up being a top ten

240
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: fantasy running back. I wrote a column today about twenty

241
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: shocking scenarios that wouldn't shock me because every year we

242
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: see things that we never in a million years predicted. Yeah,

243
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: this all means, of course, oh b J scores more

244
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: fantasy points in Calvin Johnson, go ahead. And all this

245
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: means is that it's going to be a committee. Right,

246
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: We're we're sitting here trying to like, you know, pars

247
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 1: who's going to take over as the starter here? And

248
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: what it means is that they're both gonna end up

249
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: getting about a hundred and fifty carries and then we're

250
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: all gonna be That's what's going to happen. Mostly, I

251
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: don't want to invest heavily. That's that's really what it comes.

252
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: I'll take a flyer on him. Here's here's I saw

253
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: this on Twitter similar so I apologize who I took

254
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: this from, but I wanted to do it up and

255
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: I just had to crunch the numbers. But Joseph Randel

256
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: in his short to year career, he's only had four

257
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: games where he's had more than ten carries. In those games,

258
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: he only averaged two point five four yards per carry. Great,

259
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: he was getting a bigger workload, not running out a

260
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 1: third down against you know, spaced out defenses and things

261
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 1: like that. So we're really gonna need to see in

262
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: preseason if he can carry more of the workload against

263
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: the stacked front like Tomorgo did and get that extra

264
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: meat that apparently was left on the bone here. Yeah

265
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: what wow. Alright, Anyways, he look, he's six ft tall,

266
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: he's two pounds. Again, not necessarily the uh physical uh

267
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 1: characteristics of that every down guy. I mean, you look

268
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: at this guy again the third season back as you mentioned,

269
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: Alex uh, not necessarily hugely product. I mean, at least

270
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: when we saw Toby Gerhardt leave Minnesota, he was averaging

271
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: like seven yards per carry as a backup to Adrian Peterson,

272
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: So there was at least intrigue there. Joe Randall career

273
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: is six point seven yards per carry. But again, that's

274
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: that's coming on a lot of those third down scrap

275
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: like third and twenty. Here's a pro play run for

276
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: eighteen years. It's an unbelievable line. It's a great offense.

277
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 1: I can see why FABS would would put him just

278
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: outside of the top fifty. I could I can see that.

279
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: I just, man, I look at the physical characteristics, and

280
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: I've seen what he's done in his career. I just

281
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to buy that. But again, opportunity

282
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: make kings out of us, all man. So it's uh,

283
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: it's interesting that on a T shirt somewhere. All right, listen, Uh,

284
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: we're we move on. What's the next head I think

285
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: I deliete this next headline Victor Cruz. Victor Cruz says

286
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: rehab will make or break him. That's what he told

287
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: the USA today. I don't even have that headline in

288
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 1: front of me, but you know what, I just memorized it. Yeah,

289
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: I like it. Look Victor Cruz telling the USA today

290
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 1: that rehab is gonna make him or break him. What

291
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: do we make of those statements? And and again, I

292
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: know we've touched on this on a previous podcast, but

293
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 1: where do you take a guy like Victor Cruz. I'm

294
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: looking at him very very late. I mean, he's that

295
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: guy you draft him late, you hope maybe you get

296
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: some upside out of him, or if you know, if

297
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: it doesn't come if it doesn't, if he doesn't come around,

298
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: you haven't spent a lot, you haven't lost much. But

299
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: if he does, if he comes back and he looks

300
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: even a little bit like the old Victor Cruz, then

301
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: you've got something, and you've got it a great value.

302
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean that that, I think is all you can

303
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 1: expect when even the giant and don't seem particularly optimistic

304
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: about him coming back. I mean it's been less than

305
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: a year. I mean he tores Platero tender one in October. Uh,

306
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: we're talking about less than a year for cover. That's

307
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about a guy who also made his living

308
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: fabs with speed, and that speed is gonna be slow

309
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: to come back. Where do you have a guy like

310
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz. Let's just say in standard formats, because I

311
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: know in PPR he'll be he'll have a slight uptick

312
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: in value. Well, he's just outside of my top forty

313
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So let's put it that way. As Marcus

314
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: said late rounds, he's a flyer that a lot of

315
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: people will see his name still on the board right

316
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: and think, oh Victor Cruz, right, and then they'll pick

317
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: him up. But a lot of questions there. Remember, oh

318
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: b J is now the clear cut number one? Eli

319
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: Manning has been talking up Ruben randall Um. There's questions

320
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: as to whether or not Cruise is going to leave

321
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: some of that speed on the operating table, which I

322
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: would kind of think that he he will. And uh

323
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: they also added a pass catching running back chain Mareens.

324
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: So Cruiz is someone that I would take a flyer on,

325
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: speaking of current ADP on NFL dot com, I mean,

326
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere where you're taking a huge leap

327
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: of faith. It's not a big investment. Sure, he's a flyer, right,

328
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: He's a flyer, no doubt about that. And I was

329
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: got to prove that he can be what he was

330
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,360
Speaker 1: before anyone's going to trust him after that procedure. By

331
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 1: the way, I would almost rather take an unproven rookie

332
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: than Parker or someone like that. I mean, I think

333
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: Parker will be gone by the thirteenth round. But but

334
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, even if I'm looking at like a Tyler

335
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: Lockett in Seattle or something, you know, give me a

336
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: guy like that where I don't know what Tyler Lockett's

337
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: ADP is, but I gotta imagine it's in the double digits.

338
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: I I would much rather have a guy with upside

339
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: versus of Victor Cruz. Because again, maybe Victor Cruz comes

340
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: around weeks six, weeks, seven, weeks ten, maybe. But man,

341
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, he needs some time to recover.

342
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that he can't do it. I think

343
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: he's a he's a great profess tional, he's got the

344
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 1: skill set and he and most importantly, he's got good

345
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: chemistry with Eli. He's got a good quarterback back there.

346
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: I just you know, I just think he needs time

347
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: to recover and get that speed back and get stuck

348
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: into some of those upside guys you're talking about that

349
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: you can get after Cruise because on ADPs right now, uh,

350
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: Kenny Stills, Allen Robinson, Fonte Adams, all Robinson's after I

351
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: would take all those guys before, Philip Dorset, devin Son,

352
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, well Amondla Ruben Randall and then Tyler Lockett.

353
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: So rather than reach for the name Robinson, I will

354
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: pass on. But all those other names I like more.

355
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: It's still June. Yeah, that'll change. Yeah. Well, and again

356
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 1: we do got to see the see these guys a

357
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: little bit in the preseason game. And this is a

358
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: small sample size. It's only from the drafts that happening

359
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: on NFL dot Com. Yet the more we get in,

360
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: the more accurate and the or we can all learn from.

361
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: And how do we do that by doing mock drafts.

362
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,199
Speaker 1: Nfl dot Com slash Fantasy sign up today, uh, and

363

368
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: off again for the very first time on this revamped podcast,

369
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: we're gonna hit your Twitter questions and if you'd like

370
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: to make the show, of course, tweet at any of

371
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: us Marcus, Alex Kalhar myself for or Michael Fabriano, or

372
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: you could tweet the NFL Fantasy handle at NFL Fantasy. Alright,

373
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: So first question comes from Dwayne Jackson at d Jacks

374
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: fifty five. Is Dez Bryant a risky pick because of

375
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: his contract situation? And we'll go to the Cowboys Homer

376
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: on this one. Don't know yet. I don't know yet.

377
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna be in discussions they have until July. No,

378
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: not right now. If he holds out a training camp,

379
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: the change then things change because there is is a

380
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: well known trend of players Darrell Reeves, Steven Jackson, Larry Johnson, UH.

381
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: To go back and discuss a few Chris Johnson who

382
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: hold out of camp UH and injuries or a decline

383
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 1: in production. So that would worry me a little bit.

384
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: But let's be honest. How far are we gonna drop

385
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: Des Bryant down at wide receiver. It's not gonna be

386
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:23,919
Speaker 1: out of the top ten, that's for sure. Is he

387
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: gonna be Is he could he drop down to the

388
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: like like the mid second round if he misses the

389
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: entire training camp and he says he's sitting out week one,

390
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 1: I would say he could probably drop into the second

391
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: or third round something like that. But he's not gonna

392
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: drop much further than that. I'm sitting around, I'm sitting

393
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 1: around their late second round. It's still there Bryant, Because

394
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,159
Speaker 1: I mean, I know all the fears, I understand all that.

395
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: If sure, if he sits out, I totally get that.

396
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: But also at the same time, when he comes back,

397
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 1: he's still gonna be the guy. Tony Robo looks first.

398
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes expectations are gonna supersed risk. It's almost like, Okay,

399
00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: this really good looking blonde girl wants to go on

400
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: a day with me, but this woman has the i

401
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: Q of a grape fruit. Guess what, I don't care.

402
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm going out with her, you know what I mean? Yes,

403
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: that analogy went behind. That's what I'm talking about. That's

404
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. The girls. Listen here. I know

405
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: you're married. The woman is good looking. Okay, that's the upside,

406
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: But the downside is that you're not gonna have a

407
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: conversation with her, but you're still gonna go out with her. Okay.

408
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: Des Briant has got amazing talent and production. Okay, he's

409
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna hold out a training camp potentially, and that means

410
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: so I'm a little afraid he could get hurt. I'm

411
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 1: still drafting the podcast spinning out of control. There's no

412
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: grave to Twitter quests great comparison. Jake Bender asked us

413
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: on Twitter, if I have a choice between Matt Ryan

414
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees, who should I pick? Matt Ryan Drew Brees?

415
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 1: Not even going to just go ahead, well, here we go.

416
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean Drew Brees, I don't like Breese this year.

417
00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be a bus because everyone's gonna

418
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: draft them too high. But even if he's a bus,

419
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: he's going to be better than that Ryan. He was

420
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: better than Matt Ryan last year, but it was it

421
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: was he was the number six quarterback versus the number

422
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 1: seven quarterback in in in Matt Ryan. So the comparison,

423
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: at least last year was pretty darn similar. Is anyone

424
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: taken up for Matt Ryan in this, uh, this battle

425
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: of the quarterbacks? I think Reason will have diminished numbers

426
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: this year, but I still like him better than I

427
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: like Matt Ryan. I think he's got more weapons. I

428
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: don't know anyone. Is anyone intrigued by the new offense

429
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: that they might install in Atlanta? You know, they added

430
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: a couple of offensive weapons as well. It's it's there's

431
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: at least intrigue there and plus plus can I say this?

432
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: So they add a couple of pieces in Atlanta, they

433
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: add a new offensive system that could help them. And

434
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: in addition to that, New Orleans loses Jimmy Graham still

435
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: got Sean Payton, one of the most creative offensive minds

436
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: in the league. Now you add c J. Spiller. You

437
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: could have the arrival of Nick Tune, Brandon Cooks on

438
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: Feb's Man crush List, and Drew Brees is still Drew Brees.

439
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: The guy was still slinging the rock great last year.

440
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: But he is getting up there in age. He's getting

441
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: up there. He's not as high up there, he's man,

442
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: and by right, he's you take Drew. Look, I see

443
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: what I see what you guys are saying. I know,

444
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: I know in my heart of hearts, I'm saying Drew Brees.

445
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you what I think. The question is

446
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot closer uh than we might

447
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: think of it right this second. I think when the

448
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: season starts to play out, there's been a lot of termoil,

449
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: a lot of change in New Orleans and in Atlanta

450
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: kind of sort. I like the fact that they're revamping

451
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: that offense a little bit. They add a guy like

452
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman who could be a home run hitter. Um,

453
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a quarterback battle. In

454
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: my opinion, that will be a lot closer than a

455
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: lot of twenty two points apart. Last That's what I'm saying.

456
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 1: But and that's exactly what I'm talking about two points

457
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: is still almost a couple of weeks. Oh sure, sure,

458
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like we're talking about Oh my god,

459
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers to Matt Ryan. Yeah. But also at

460
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,159
Speaker 1: this point, I think we know who Matt Ryan is.

461
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: His highest, his highest passing the artist Drew Brees. We've

462
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: seen his ceiling. That being said, though you know the

463
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 1: previous coaching staff, Um, are you gonna draft Matt Ryan

464
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: ahead of Breese? I am not. Okay, then, I'm just saying, Look,

465
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: I think Drew Brees will be extremely overdrafted. That's I

466
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: do too. The point that I'm making here is that

467
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 1: I think he's going to be extremely overdrafted. I think

468
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is going to be I don't know if

469
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna be under drafted, but I think he will

470
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: provide you more value come drafted. Relative value will will

471
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: sign you know, with Ryan. This could be a good

472
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: segue into our next segment because look, it was the

473
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: top of the draft prices, right, Drew Brees. The oh

474
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: I used to um, I used to pretend that I

475
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: was sick when I was a kid, just just to

476
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: watch it and watch all right, Look, let's get into it.

477
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 1: It's a long, skinny microphone, right, Yes, let's just get

478
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: into it. Man, Let's do draft prices. Right. We'll get

479
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 1: to offenses that could surprise in a bit, but let's

480
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: do draft price is right? Right now, Drew Brees's being

481
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: taken in round five. He's the forty about overall pick.

482
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: He was the sixth best quarterback last year. Does he

483
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: crack into the top five, which it consisted of Aaron Rodgers,

484
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson, Peyton Manning or Big Ben. Does

485
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: Drew Brees past one of those guys and crack into

486
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: the top five? Basically, what I'm asking is the draft

487
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: price rights or wrong? I think he's the top five quarterback,

488
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 1: but I'm not taking him in round five. That just

489
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: seems a little high for me. Um, you know, and

490
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not one of the weight

491
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: on a quarterback guys like I'll take Aaron Rodgers in

492
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: the first round, I'll take Andrew Luck in the second.

493
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: But I think after those two guys are gone then

494
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: I probably am gonna sit around and wait on somebody.

495
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: So I don't for me, round five seems a little steep. Wow,

496
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 1: everyone is said silent. I am on record as saying

497
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 1: that I would not draft Breeze in one of the

498
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: first five rounds unless I had the last pick and

499
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: I go Breeze, and then I'm picking first and round six.

500
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: And it's not because Drew Brees isn't great. It's not

501
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: because Drew Brees isn't one of the best quarterbacks in

502
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: the history of fantasy football. It goes against my philosophy

503
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: of waiting on a quarterback until later than the fifth round.

504
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: And to be quite honest with you, I just don't

505
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: see him being the five thousand yard pass or forty

506
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: touchdown pass or that offense now is going to be

507
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 1: more balanced. Get what they did in the off season,

508
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,320
Speaker 1: You have to sort of uh read the tea leaves

509
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: there that they get They get younger from Seattle, they

510
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: draft Pete, They they resigned mark Ingram, they trade Jimmy Graham,

511
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: they trade Kenny Stills. They don't bring anyone in to

512
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: really replace those guys, uh, unless you consider C. J.

513
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: Spiller or replacement. But he's running back. So to me,

514
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: Breeze could totally do what he did last year, maybe

515
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 1: a little bit worse. But I would argue that Breeze

516
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: gave a lot of people headaches last season, especially when

517
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: he was on the road, where people were like, I

518
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: don't know if I should start this guy. Um. It's

519
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: interesting too when you you talk about them, you know,

520
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: bringing in Max Unger, Andre Supete, revamping that offensive line,

521
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: committing big dollars to the running backs. Is this New

522
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: Orleans we're talking about here? The entire league is going

523
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: to a more pass oriented offense, and the most pass

524
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 1: orientented offense in the league is going more towards a

525
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: ground and town. I'm I don't want, I don't know

526
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 1: what's going on. The thing is that we look at

527
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: everything from a fantasy perspective. At least most of the time.

528
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:44,439
Speaker 1: The Saints aren't winning. I mean they're they're not winning.

529
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: So it shocked us all when they traded Jimmy Graham.

530
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: But someone at the top said, we're blowing it up.

531
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: I gotta do it different. I just I don't know.

532
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure if they've got a clear game

533
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 1: plan in New Ones. I think they need to revamp

534
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: their defense, but looks like they are trying to control

535
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: the clock a little bit more, which is probably a

536
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: nod to the fact that their defense hasn't been good.

537
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 1: If we can control the shock and we could play

538
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: a four minute offense, then we don't have to worry

539
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: about our defense. Latinist, I mean because as much as

540
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 1: it was fun, we all remember the shot of Rob

541
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: Bryan in his long hair looking just paint out late,

542
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: one of my favorite pictures ever. It's a very good point,

543
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: all right, So I think we're in agreement. Price prices,

544
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: wrong prices, alright, Joy Bell, you're the next name on

545
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: the draft. Prices right, come on down round five, round

546
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: five for joyke Bell. He's taken about five. It looks

547
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 1: like five picks after Drew Breese at forty nine. He

548
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: was the fourteenth best running back last year. I think,

549
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: surprising some Reggie Bush gone. Does he get the keys

550
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: all by his lonesome? Or how much does a mere

551
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: Abdullah cap his value? I actually just updated my running

552
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,920
Speaker 1: back rankings, all my rankings, and I moved Abdullah ahead

553
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: of him, ahead of joy Bell. Round five is way

554
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: too rich for my blood, and um I would not

555
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: take him there. I would take Abdullah maybe in round six.

556
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: Right now, more upside what bells coming off the Achilles

557
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: than in years old? I don't. I don't believe in him.

558
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: I believe in the room. What have you seen in

559
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 1: a mir Abdullah that makes you put him, you know,

560
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 1: in such a lofty company. Well, I wish I I

561
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: could attend all of these offseason workouts. I can. All

562
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: I can really do is need about what has gone on.

563
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: And he's been the star of the Lions camp. Got it? Uh?

564
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: ESPN s John Clayton had a report yesterday about how

565
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: unbelievable he looked. And he's not a big dude. No,

566
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: it's not a big dude at all. But he's versatile

567
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: and he believes he can be a three down back.

568
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: We'll see if that actually I think a fruition. I

569
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: will tell you this, he is one of the guys

570
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm targeting. Uh. You guys know I put out my

571
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: list a couple of weeks ago, the Summer Loving List.

572
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: He is one of the guy that I'm targeting. I mean,

573
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: you beat me to it. I didn't have rankings updated

574
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: yet or not, but I was gonna say I'd probably

575
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: take him here, Abdulah over joke Bell too. Right now.

576
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta love his upside, You love what

577
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: he did back there everybody's the rave reviews. I mean,

578
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: it could all be a smoke screen right now. But

579
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 1: based on what I watched him do in college and

580
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: what we're hearing he's doing so far, and I love

581
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: joke Belt pretty wrong. He's been great, but coming off

582
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: all these injuries and being out of being older and

583
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: probably out of shape, this just seems like the situation

584
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: that Abdula is gonna come in, produce and run away

585
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: with how things happen in the NFL. I mean, listen,

586
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: we do our best to predict things, okay, but we

587
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: predict things on stats, trends and and that sort of

588
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. Man, A lot of times it's hard.

589
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw you saw monte ball. It was

590
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: all the rage last year and c J. Anderson end

591
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: up scoring more Fantasy points done La Shawn McCoy and

592
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: Golden Tape more than Calvin Johnson. It's crazy, ok It's

593
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: more than Jimmy Jimmy Graham. Sometimes you have to really

594
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 1: think outside the box. I still believe am I the

595
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: only one year? No, You're not the bell like in

596
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: round five, I be. I'd be glad to have him.

597
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: And part of it is, you know, I get it.

598
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: I get the injuries, but the Lions saw this this morning.

599
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: No team through the running backs more than the Lions

600
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: did last year. I think something of their passes went

601
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: to running backs last year. That means there's a lot

602
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: of targets still to go around and that offense. And

603
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: I still think Joke Bell is going to be a

604
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 1: big part of it. I think they're gonna work him

605
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: in slowly, and I'm sure Amir Bula has looked fantastic,

606
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 1: but I think when we get closer to the season,

607
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: you still gotta worry about things like, you know, how

608
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: does he handle pass protection, how does he handle you know,

609
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: coming out of the backfield in certain certain situations. I

610
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: think joy Bell still has that. I think he's still

611
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a big part of what they do. Um,

612
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not. I'm not down on him just yet.

613
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: I still like him. I think five. Round five is

614
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: still a bit too rich for my blood for joint Bell.

615
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: I'd love to get him in round seven. I mean,

616
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: if he's if he's pick um, you know, we're we're

617
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 1: talking pretty quick round five, end of round five, so

618
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: early round six, you know, if I can get him

619
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: around later end of round six or maybe early rounds.

620
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: I'd be much more comfortable. I think round five a

621
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: little too rich for me. You know what other running

622
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: back is rolling on up? Duke Johnson. Watch out for

623
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. I'm telling you you they produced those running

624
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: backs all right. How about this, Amari Cooper, You're the

625
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: next name on the draft prices? Right, come on now?

626
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 1: Round seven for Amari Cooper, the sensational or you know,

627
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: I guess expected to be sensational rookie wide receiver there

628
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: in Oakland. He's being targeted with the sixties seventh overall pick.

629
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman, Steve Smith, Eric Decker, Keenan Allen in his

630
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: peer group there, Kevin White, Brandon Marshall being drafted ahead

631
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: of Amari Cooper, which I think surprises me. Round seven

632
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: for Amari Cooper, draft price right or wrong? Vabbs. If

633
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: I could get him in round seven, dude, you would

634
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: see me like one of those people that gets called

635
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: to the prices. We'll run down they're like, yo, belly, yeah,

636
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: one of the That's what I'm saying. Cooper was a

637
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: fifth round pick in my most recent mock draft. And listen,

638
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: man again, what I've read what I've heard. Everyone's raving

639
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: about him. I know he plays for the Raiders, but

640
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: this is uh an offense now that's led by Derek Carry.

641
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,080
Speaker 1: We're not We're not looking at j Schrader back there.

642
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: That's an old squid. I remember being excited when the

643
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: Raiders jer turn a corner. A lot of people probably

644
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: have no idea who he has. Look him up, but

645
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: I'm I'm on board with Cooper. I like him as

646
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: a guy who you can maybe draft as a low

647
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: to high three and attend team league that could produce

648
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: like a high too. I think the price is great there. Yeah,

649
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's fantastic. Although I've I've

650
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: said before I like in a short term and just

651
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: for this year, I think I like Kevin White a

652
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: little bit better because there are fewer expectations on him

653
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: to be the guy to produce. I think you're not

654
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: scared of Alshan Jeffrey, though I mean, I know, I

655
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: know I've said before. I think I think Kevin White

656
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 1: is this year is Mike Evans, where he comes into

657
00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 1: a situation where he's not expected to be the number

658
00:33:58,440 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 1: one guy, and I think I look at Mark Cooper

659
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: or as a Kelvin Benjamin type where they want him

660
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: to really carry that passing game. So, um, you know,

661
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,879
Speaker 1: I I do think that Amari Cooper at round seven.

662
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: I do love it. I do love it. I just

663
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,799
Speaker 1: say I like Kevin White a little better. I'll tell

664
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: you this. If you look at his peer group in

665
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: terms of a DP Julian Edelman, Steve Smith, Eric Decker,

666
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, Yeah, give me a Marie Cooper ahead of

667
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: every single one of those guys. I might even take

668
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 1: him ahead of him. I actually I would take him

669
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 1: ahead of Kevin White, no question. And i'dn't even go

670
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: so far as i'd take him ahead of Brandon Marshall. Man,

671
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall's easily got one foot in the grave right

672
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: now in the career. Grow Marshall duty nothing, man. I

673
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: just you know, I just don't see a heck of

674
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: a lot upside there. You know, I think I think

675
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: Brandon Marshall's got one eye on his post career. And

676
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: that scares me because in today's NFL, man, you gotta

677
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: have laser focus. You guys got laser focus. Brandon Marshall

678
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:58,960
Speaker 1: loves tearing it up when he gets how many how

679
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 1: many Jets widers have been great fantasy options? Uh? None,

680
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: and you could ever you can go through. Ever, let's

681
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 1: let's let's look at the list at Eric Decker goes

682
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: to the Jets, stinks us to go to the Jets.

683
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: States that guy was not good from a fantasy perspective

684
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: base on what he did. I don't care. He didn't

685
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:28,439
Speaker 1: produce seventy eight. Wesley Walker had one thousandown right there

686
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 1: you go, So the price is right on Amari Cooper. Yes, bam.

687
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: I didn't even mentioned Percy Harvin either. He goes there

688
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: and didn't do much. All right, Let's let's move on.

689
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Rashan Jennings round eight, seventy feet overall

690
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: pick uh in some mock drafts here. Uh. Injuries, injuries, injuries,

691
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: That's what you always got to think about with Rashan Jennings.

692
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,879
Speaker 1: He missed five games last year. He still was able

693
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: to produce though, about close to nine hundred total yards

694
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: six hundred thirty nine yards rushing to seeving. He also

695
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: put up four touchdowns uh in those games that he

696
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: played eleven games and and really more like nine games

697
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: because he was kind of dinged up in in two

698
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: of them. Andre Williams lurking there, Rasha Jennings Round eight

699
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 1: good value, bad value, price right or wrong? I see shaking.

700
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't like it. There's just I think it's going

701
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 1: to be a nasty committee with all those guys, and

702
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: I feel that once that offense starts humming Shane Vereen.

703
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 1: I think Fat's pointed out in a column recently, he's

704
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: going to get a lot of that passing work, and

705
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a lot of their Oh I thought

706
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: you were referencing Orleans Dark wak oh no, not bringing

707
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:39,320
Speaker 1: up oh no not. We'll have an Orleans Dark Questions

708
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 1: designated podcast later, but I don't know. Its just I

709
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:44,560
Speaker 1: feel like there's a lot better value you can get

710
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: in that range. Like this is a round after we

711
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: were seeing a Mark Cooper and kept being drafted. Uh,

712
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson could be in this range. I'd rather take

713
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,839
Speaker 1: him than Rashad Jennings. There's just there's too many question marks,

714
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,959
Speaker 1: there're too many worries for me to get rash Jennings before.

715
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: Like round ten, I kind of feel like Rashad Jennings

716
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: floor is not that bad though, I mean, if you're

717
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: giving him in a round eight as a running back,

718
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,359
Speaker 1: as a as an RB three, or as a as

719
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: a you know, rotational flex guy. I feel like his

720
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: floor is not that but when he's when he's in there,

721
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: he produces. Yeah, the problem is how is it going

722
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 1: to be in there? Well, if he's stilling healthy, he's

723
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: a rotational there'll be a good flex starter for fantasy owners. Um,

724
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: I do last year, but Alex just alluded to it.

725
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: There's a lot of mouse defeat. You've got Ene, You've

726
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 1: got Andrey Williams and Jennings also in the mix to

727
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: go along with the return of Victor Cruze. That that

728
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: doesn't affect the backfield affects the offense. So I just

729
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: I think he's probably in that range eight to ten.

730
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 1: But the way that I draft, he'd probably be my

731
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:48,919
Speaker 1: four because I don't bother with a quarterback until later.

732
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 1: So if I could get him as my fourth running back,

733
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,839
Speaker 1: I'll take him. But even then, I'm not in love

734
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: with him because the injuries concerned me, and the number

735
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: of people who are looking for the football on that

736
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: backfield also concerns Marcus. Round eight. Yeah, I don't. I

737
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: don't think you're rich. I don't think I can do

738
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: it at round eight. Um, just you know, for for

739
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: the reason stated, I do think Shane Vereni is going

740
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: to have a much larger role in that offense when

741
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: it's all said and done, because he can run it,

742
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 1: because he can catch it. You know, I think that

743
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: with that offense, that's how it's gonna go. So I'm

744
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: gonna be another He's gonna be another Shane Verene is

745
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: gonna be another Cal guy. I'm targeting my all Cal

746
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,440
Speaker 1: draft is He's gonna be another one to getting your

747
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: all Cal draft there, so he could be your flex.

748
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 1: You're all Cal flex. That's not bad? Is this right?

749
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: The next one? Yes? It is? Uh Dan Bailey, you

750
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: gotta be kidding me. Rashan Jennings round eight, Dan Bailey

751
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 1: round nine? What I could have put Dan Carpenter, who

752
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: actually is going two spots ahead of Dan Bailey? Apparently Listen,

753
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 1: people don't draft kickers this early. You know what it is, No,

754
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: you know what it is, but think about it. It's

755
00:38:56,360 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: this isn't even a good a good example because think

756
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,439
Speaker 1: about how many starters or in an NFL dot Com

757
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 1: standard league and once people stopped drafting, it goes to

758
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 1: that robot switch is that the kickers are going higher

759
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: than they should be. We all know, we all know,

760
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: the only kicker that you should draft before one of

761
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: the last two rounds is Kowski. Would you I put

762
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: this into my column, uh today, the twenty things that

763
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: that wouldn't shot Stephen Gostkowski in the last four years.

764
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 1: In the last four years, each one of those years

765
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 1: has outscored every single tight end but one. Okay, so

766
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 1: he had more points than everybody but Jimmy Graham. Last

767
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: year he had more I'm sorry, Gregkowski. Uh, the year

768
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:49,959
Speaker 1: before it was Jimmy Graham. Stephen Gostkowski is an exceptional

769
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 1: fantasy asset. I'm not saying draft him before the tenth rounds,

770
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: but if you can get him in round twelve or

771
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: round eleven, you do it. Maybe at the end of

772
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: round eleven. I would do it because points are points. Yeah,

773
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: I agree with that. I would love to take the

774
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: ghost in round twelve. Love it. I would love it.

775
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,319
Speaker 1: But so kickers before round ten? Prices prices wrong, It's wrong.

776
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 1: Al Right, here we go. How about Chris Ivory round ten,

777
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: uh nine six overall round ten eighty one yards last year?

778
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:23,279
Speaker 1: This is what surprised me Chris Ivory, who I did

779
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:25,719
Speaker 1: not think was a very good player last year. Four

780
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: point one yards per carry. That's not bad. He uh

781
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 1: played in sixteen games, only started ten, So again he's

782
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 1: approaching a thousand yards in really ten games where he

783
00:40:36,960 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 1: started four point yards per carry. He's got a new

784
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 1: coaching staff there, Uh, Chris Ivory round ten, Marcus, do

785
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,879
Speaker 1: you like him there? Yeah? In round ten? Sure, he's

786
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 1: gonna be my fourth running back maybe something, you know,

787
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: a guy that I play during bye weeks, maybe if

788
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: the matchup is particularly great. But the thing about Chris

789
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,680
Speaker 1: Ivory is that there's always somebody lurking in the background

790
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: to take carries. I mean, he's there and and then

791
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: somebody else will come in and like spell him for

792
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: a little while. It's just I mean, you look at

793
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: his numbers. The guys have never had two hundred carries

794
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,320
Speaker 1: in a season in his career, right, you know, I

795
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,439
Speaker 1: got one last year at the closest he's been. He's

796
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: never been. You've never had nine hundred yards in a

797
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: season in his career. And it's just it's just so

798
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 1: it's just lackluster. You know, it's just lackloss. I think

799
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: without having seen what the coaching staff thinks of him

800
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: and how they're going to utilize them. Round I mean,

801
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,799
Speaker 1: I guess round ten this earlier, I'll buy. Sure, I'll

802
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: buy round ten. But again, we don't even know how

803
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: the coaching staff views them. Maybe they don't like them,

804
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,759
Speaker 1: maybe they hate them, maybe they love them. Maybe they

805
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,440
Speaker 1: see him as an every down guy. I don't know,

806
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: uh new coaching. It's really difficult to say. It's probably

807
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: gonna be a committee with blah pal in there, and

808
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: we don't know what Stephen Ridley or Zack Stacy. Uh

809
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: oh boy? What that just brings back bad memories because

810
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: I drafted him and like with the fourth round of

811
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: our Dynasty League last year, Yeah, thank god I got

812
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,160
Speaker 1: Trey Mason and um and my buddy, so round him.

813
00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: You like him there as as my fifth running back. Okay,

814
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: this is some pretty lukewarm response. Okay, I mean I

815
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: don't love him. I mean, give me a strong He

816
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: was inconsistent at best. At best, man, he ran pretty strong,

817
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: and he ran pretty hard. He had some decent vision.

818
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: He was just they were feeding Chris Johnson last year too,

819
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 1: because they had picked him up as that free agent

820
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: and kind of felt obligated to. I think in round

821
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: ten especially, we're taking him as an RB four like

822
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: that great upside there, because what if then this becomes

823
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,480
Speaker 1: the season where he gets over two carries and he

824
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: is like the leader of that committee. Last year he

825
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: was the eighteen highest scoring fantasy running back. True, if

826
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 1: you're getting a top scorny fantasy running back, potentially I

827
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 1: can see him. I could see him there. I wouldn't argue.

828
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: I think I think the prices is right with him.

829
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,800
Speaker 1: But again, is not a guy that I'm going to

830
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: be drafting and expecting big things right him as a

831
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: four or five. This is the most tepid price is right,

832
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: very tepid. So we all we all bid one dollar

833
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,279
Speaker 1: right right right? Okay, Um, this is a good one.

834
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: I like this one. Michael Floyd in round thirteen or

835
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 1: John Brown in round fourteen, who was the price right

836
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 1: on there? John Brown? And Okay, Marcus said that I

837
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: sounded like a reporter, Alex did. I have a contact

838
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals, and I've been told that they love him,

839
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,920
Speaker 1: They loved John Brown like the in fact, in fact,

840
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: I would and I put this in my column today

841
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: that you can check out on NFL dot Com that

842
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: it would not shock me if John Brown was the

843
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: highest scoring Fantasy wide receiver in Arizona this year. Wouldn't

844
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: shock me one bit. I could see that. I really

845
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: could see what Larry Fitzgerald is on the way down.

846
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,239
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd did not look like the same player last year.

847
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 1: John Brown is exciting. Uh, he's electric, he can he

848
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: can burn you deep. Uh, great vertical pass attack threat

849
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: for for Carson Palmer. He's someone that I've got targeted

850
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: after round ten U. But round fourteen, you don't know

851
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 1: that he'll be around. No. I don't think so either.

852
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant, Michael Floyd, John Brown. I mean I think

853
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: at these values, Michael Floyd in the thirteen, John Brown

854
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 1: in the fourteenth. I like both of them. I am

855
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: with FABS. I like John Brown better. And you know,

856
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: there's been a trend lately, and I believe our our

857
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: friends at around the NFL wrote about this of smaller

858
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers in recent year starting to really have success.

859
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously Brandon Cooks is a guy we

860
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: all like, but I think John Brown is another one

861
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: who fits into that situation where he can stretch the field,

862
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 1: he can also run underneath routes. They can, you know,

863
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 1: maybe pitch it to him out of the backfield. There

864
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 1: are a lot of ways to get the football in

865
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: his hands. And if I could land John Brown in

866
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: the fourteenth I'd be thrilled to dead. And think about

867
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: Arians right now, correct me if I'm wrong, But Arians

868
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown right, smaller, smaller wide receiver. I remember if

869
00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: he was there his breakout t Y Hill and he

870
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,920
Speaker 1: said John Brown here? So why why not John Brown? Um?

871
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: Because he's five ten eight pounds? Wait? Have you ever

872
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 1: have you understood next John Jackson? No? Look your cal brother.

873
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: I I agree Deshan Jackson. I think him actually Deshan

874
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: Jackson exact same characteristics. But this is the difference. We've

875
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,919
Speaker 1: seen de Sean do it. We haven't seen John Brown

876
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,799
Speaker 1: do it. And I think that's why he's not coming

877
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: off the board until late. But if you're asking me

878
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: why I would take Michael Floyd over John Brown, I

879
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,479
Speaker 1: love the fact that John Brown gives you that vertical threat.

880
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: And and Carson Palmer back there. I mean, we know

881
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: he loves slinging it deep. I get it. I get it,

882
00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: And you can be more creative with John Brown. I

883
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: get that as well. Uh, it's just for me, it's hard.

884
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: It's hard for me to take a guy who right

885
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 1: now looks like a one fairly one dimensional player in

886
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: terms of just being a very good vertical threat versus

887
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: a guy who's I think a little bit more well rounded,

888
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 1: especially if they start getting closer to the goal line.

889
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: I love Michael Floyd's upside. I love Michael Floyd's upside.

890
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: Michael Floyd might be a guy. Am I taking a

891
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,720
Speaker 1: high heels bet with this guy? Please do it? Michael Floyd,

892
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,680
Speaker 1: You do it? Yeah, I mean you're you're gonna lose

893
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: that one. You're going to lose that one bit. I

894
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: might have to do it, you know what, I'm I'm

895
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,520
Speaker 1: gonna have to think about that. I might have to

896
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: think about I gotta think about this one. Here. We're

897
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 1: gonna keeping them every week. Every week, we're gonna prod him.

898
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna pushing Michael Floyd. When you said, you know

899
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,239
Speaker 1: why I love Michael Floyd, is gonna throw it because

900
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: you love a wide receiver that drops passes. Because from

901
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 1: ProFootball focus, the who drop right, Uh, Michael Floyd Floyd

902
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: is way up there. Props about ahead, do it? Do it?

903
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 1: Do it? That is not good? Do it? Look? I

904
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: like Michael Floyd a lot. I like him a lot.

905
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: How about a sun dress this time? Forget about the

906
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: high sun dress? But you know, because the old how

907
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,200
Speaker 1: he's avoid No, no, no, no, no, no, listen, I'm

908
00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: not avoiding the only reason I'm hesitating with this one

909
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:51,279
Speaker 1: is because I really really really like Jalen Strong and

910
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,919
Speaker 1: I really want to put my money behind my Texans again,

911
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 1: exactly behind the top and Jaylen Strong in particularly because

912
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: I just I really what would be what would be

913
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: the gotta think about number? Hold, hold on, let's get

914
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 1: let's get social. Why don't we Why don't we ask

Speaker 1: Michael Easter or he asked to wear sun dress to

927
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:55,400
Speaker 1: one episode of NFL Fantasy Negative negative. These are negative

928
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 1: at NFL Fantasy at That's why I just hey, I

929
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: was raw hashtag march to eleven hundred, Michael Floyd, Jalen Strong.

930
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 1: I gotta do a little I gotta do a little

931
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: digg in here, man. But you know what, I want

932
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: the fans to let me know what they think. All right,

933
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 1: lit through these here, all right, let's do offenses that

934
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 1: could surprise, because here's the deal. Look, uh, it's a

935
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: it's a lot like Emmanuel Sanders last year with Denver.

936
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: A lot of folks were high on him because that

937
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: is an offense that we know is gonna produce a

938
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy points. Davante Adams in uh in Green Bay.

939
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 1: We know that that's an offense that's gonna produce a

940
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: lot of fantasy points. But here are some four teams,

941
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,920
Speaker 1: sneaky teams, and we got the crack staff here Marcus Grant,

942
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:39,760
Speaker 1: Alex Gillhard. They did the dig and they did the research,

943
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 1: and these are four teams that could surprise from a

944
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 1: fantasy standpoint. And we'll start with the Dolphins. Alex, what

945
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 1: do you see there? Uh? Well, I don't want to

946
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: jump out. Actually coming backtrack to the Cardinals real quick.

947
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: Sure I was doing some number crunching earlier, since we

948
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,879
Speaker 1: just talked about Floyd and Brittany. Uh. If you're looking

949
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: at the Cardinals offense last year, Uh, as we know

950
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: they only in Palmer for six games. Over the course

951
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: of the season, they were twenty four and points four

952
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 1: and yards fourteenth and passing yards thirty feet in rushing

953
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: yards ugly. However, it's because they didn't have anybody. When

954
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 1: when Palmer was in there, they were eight in points scored. Uh,

955
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: they jumped up to nineteenth in yards and sixth in

956
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: passing yards per game. Interesting, right, And and I mentioned

957
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: this in the column to uh when he played, he

958
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 1: was averaging seventeen fantasy points a game. That's damn good.

959
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: It's really good. So he's someone that I'm targeting late

960
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 1: to know I'm drafting him before round twelve. And his

961
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 1: points per completion last year we were very good. They

962
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: were in the top five. Uh. Even Drew Stanton had

963
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 1: a pretty good Fantasy points to completion rates. So it's

964
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: all about that offense. Man, and you get John Brown

965
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: going in there running deep routes like I love the

966
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: addition Johnson addition. I think David Johnson is the key

967
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: and this whole thing because you talked about that running

968
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: game really not doing anything, and a lot of is

969
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 1: because when when Andrea Allington went down, I mean that

970
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: was it. It was a rap. So if you get

971
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:05,399
Speaker 1: David Johnson in there and you can kind of split

972
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,480
Speaker 1: some of those carries, keep both those guys healthier. Bro,

973
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:14,239
Speaker 1: you didn't like Kerwyn Williams, Ask Kerwin Williams, step Fan Taylor, No,

974
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: no love. I love. I love both those guys in college,

975
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: not so much in the NFL. Uh. Yeah, the Cardinals

976
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:22,800
Speaker 1: is it certainly an offense. I think that could surprise.

977
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 1: How about the Dolphins though? How about the Dolphins though

978
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: you look at Ryan Tannehill again, a sneaky top ten

979
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: quarterback from last year. Uh, they add a very good

980
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver in Davante Park and we don't know, you know,

981
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: what his development status is. But you know, the tape

982
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: on him says that, Yeah, sure, Parker could be a

983
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: very good wide receiver. What do we like about the

984
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins offense? I mean, one, I like, I like Jarvis

985
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: Landry a lot. I also really think this is the

986
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: year we see Ryan Tannehill take a big step forward

987
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: in that offense. We we've seen him get better and

988
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 1: better every year. I mean, obviously, you know, he's not

989
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 1: He's not a guy who's gotta throw it deep. He's

990
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:58,799
Speaker 1: not gonna, you know, just chuck the ball down field

991
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: a whole lot. But he can be very accurate. And

992
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: I think the thing that gets underrated about him is

993
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: how effective he is at running the football. Um you know,

994
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 1: so his ability to run the football obviously changes what

995
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: you have to do defensively. It's certainly from a fantasy perspective,

996
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,520
Speaker 1: gives him a new dimension. Um So, I think between

997
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,480
Speaker 1: the combination of Tannehill, Jarvis Landry opening things up, and

998
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: Jordan Cameron, if he can stay healthy, uh and stay

999
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: on the field, I think he steps in and is

1000
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 1: a nice replacement for Charles Clay in that offense. And

1001
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller was fairly effective last year's well, he was

1002
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: good Um, he didn't have a whole ton of touches,

1003
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: but when he did touch the ball, he was pretty good.

1004
00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:35,759
Speaker 1: I do worry a little bit about now, help me

1005
00:51:35,800 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: pronounce this Jay a giant, but is a guy who

1006
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: could be a draft bargain that The problem that you

1007
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: that you run into a lot of times is that

1008
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 1: you know, you say, oh, Tannehill was a top ten quarterback,

1009
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 1: which he was, or Eli finished in the top twelve

1010
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: at that point. The issue that you have is consistency.

1011
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,560
Speaker 1: Because Eli had a stretch there where he was awesome

1012
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 1: and then he went in the tank and then he

1013
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: was awesome him. The same thing happened to Tannehill. He

1014
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: had a stretch last year. I remember he was really good.

1015
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: He was scoring twenty Fantasy points game. But then sometimes

1016
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: there are certain weeks so the guy goes in the

1017
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,760
Speaker 1: tank and so you don't feel like you can always

1018
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: trust them. That's why you play the matchups when you

1019
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: when you utilize that philosophy. But the talents there lamars

1020
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: in a contract here he's like twenty three years old. Uh.

1021
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 1: We we talked about a Ji. We've got Jarvis Landry

1022
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,840
Speaker 1: who had over eighty catches last year, still is a

1023
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: guy who can stretch defenses. Greg Jennings not what he

1024
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 1: used to be, but he's a good presence in the

1025
00:52:30,880 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: locker room and he could still probably catch fifty balls

1026
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: in that offense. Jordan Cameron again, Marcus mentioned if he

1027
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: can stay healthy. So there's a lot to like about

1028
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: this Dolphins offense. By the way, it's it's almost as

1029
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,560
Speaker 1: though the Dolphins are listening to us record this thing,

1030
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,880
Speaker 1: because as we're sitting here talking, a tweet pops up

1031
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: that says, Tannehill feeling great entering there you go, all right, Look,

1032
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,440
Speaker 1: basically in terms of points, yards, pass, yards, rush, they

1033
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: were all very middle of the pack, double digits in

1034
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: in every single category but around galhard give me a

1035
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 1: reason why these guys might the Dolphins offense team offense

1036
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 1: may be able to jump into. Don't let's say the

1037
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: top eight, top seven. We've been we've been hitting on it.

1038
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 1: It's Tannehill over the over the court. This is in

1039
00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 1: his third year. He had posted his best completion percentage

1040
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: yards per tempt, lowest uh TD interception ratio or that

1041
00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:22,320
Speaker 1: the interception percentage. The guy is improving in all the

1042
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:24,319
Speaker 1: right metrics, and the hope is that if he takes

1043
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: that next step, even just pushes it a little farther in,

1044
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 1: he's going to boost the value of everybody else around him.

1045
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the Vikings. Uh, you talk about development

1046
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater, Teddy two Gloves as my fantasy brethren here,

1047
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: I like to call um, uh the Vikings In they

1048
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: look dreadful in a lot of in a lot of

1049
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,480
Speaker 1: offensive categories. But outlook, I get that they're getting Adrian

1050
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: Peterson back. But to me, other than Adrian Peterson, why

1051
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 1: should I be excited about the Vikings offense? To me?

1052
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 1: You know, I look at a guy like Teddy Bridgewater. Okay, great,

1053
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:02,279
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a late round flyer. But what else

1054
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: is there? I don't see much else. Tell me why

1055
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,359
Speaker 1: I'm wrong? Well wait, wait, wait, wow, there's nothing else there.

1056
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously there's Peter, I said, obviously Adrian Peterson.

1057
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: Peterson's there. No, there's more than that. I like Bridgewater

1058
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,800
Speaker 1: ahead too. I I think they have something with their receivers.

1059
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Mike Wallace is a guy who stretches the

1060
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:20,719
Speaker 1: field for them, and I think Charles Johnson, I'm looking

1061
00:54:20,719 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 1: for him to take a step forward. I went through

1062
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: a lot of Cordell parallels Patterson tape last week. I

1063
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: don't really want to talk about it. Um it was

1064
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 1: actually I wrote I wrote a column forth on Patterson

1065
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: last week whether or not he can bounce back from

1066
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: his awful second season. Kyle Rudolph is back. Kyle Rudolph

1067
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: is there, So there are some weapons there. I mean,

1068
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's sexy as the Dolphins or

1069
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 1: maybe the Cardinals, but I think there's a lot to like.

1070
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,879
Speaker 1: I did like what I saw from Bridgewater last year

1071
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 1: a lot. They were twenty in points scored. Uh, they

1072
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: were twenty seven in yards, in yards, they were in

1073
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 1: past yards. They had no running game. They've got to

1074
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,120
Speaker 1: make a big movement. They had no one in the

1075
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:04,320
Speaker 1: backfield at anyone was scared of defensively, and he just

1076
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 1: mentioned it. I mean the quarterback position until they brought

1077
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: in Bridgewater. I mean, I mean Bridgewater was a rook

1078
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,280
Speaker 1: He got dinged up too, but that game he Bridgewater

1079
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: came out, played great against Atlanta, tweaked his ankle. Next week,

1080
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: Christian Ponder comes in, they get absolutely murdered by the

1081
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: Packers on Thursday Night football. That game was like off

1082
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:24,959
Speaker 1: three at half off because that offense was inept without

1083
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback. But Bridgewater, like we've all been saying, we're

1084
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:28,799
Speaker 1: big fans, can do a lot for them this year.

1085
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:32,799
Speaker 1: Stabilize the offense. And remember too that north Turner now

1086
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: knows what he's going to be able to work with. Okay,

1087
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: last year he came in quarterback position was was questionable

1088
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: at best. Patterson fell apart. Patterson's Peterson right, So now

1089
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 1: you bring all this together sans Patterson breaking out because

1090
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:53,320
Speaker 1: we all are wild card. Now he's charling. It's always

1091
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 1: so he might cut the brakes on the offensive. Man,

1092
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: he could come in and like nor if I mean listen,

1093
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: for all of his failures as a head coach, he's

1094
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: a hell of an offensive coordinator, and a lot of

1095
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: the offenses that he's running, there's been a lot of

1096
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 1: production for fantasy unders. That's what we're talking about here.

1097
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,719
Speaker 1: Now I'm not buying this at all. Look, look, I

1098
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 1: love the north Turner talk because it's like, look, north Turner,

1099
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 1: does he produce some fantasy guys? Yes, he does produce

1100
00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:22,479
Speaker 1: some fantasy guys. Is he a good real life offensive coach?

1101
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sold. I don't care about so I don't

1102
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: care about real life right now, I don't. I don't

1103
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: see a ton of weapons on the Charles Johnson is

1104
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 1: a is an interesting, intriguing wide receiver. Decent upside, good sized,

1105
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,959
Speaker 1: good speed, I get it. Not great hands, not great

1106
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: running Mike Wallace, Look he's a journeyman at this point,

1107
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: receiver lash Is he gonna stretch the field? Yeah he

1108
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: could stretch the field, maybe, but maybe again, wide receivers

1109
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: going to brand new teams don't necessarily always do that. Well.

1110
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: I just don't see outside of Adrian Peterson and maybe

1111
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,359
Speaker 1: to bridge Water as a late round quarterback, not even

1112
00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: as an every week starter Teddy bridge Water. Outside of Andury,

1113
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: I don't see a lot to like about the Vikings offense.

1114
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 1: Not saying they won't be better, They're gonna be better. Look,

1115
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: there were twenty eight and pass yards last year. Man,

1116
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: they had to be worse. Maybe they jump into somewhere

1117
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: in the top fifteen eighteen, But to me, that's not

1118
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: a lot to get excited about. All right, we move on.

1119
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,520
Speaker 1: How about the Bengals. The Bengals, Now, now this is

1120
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: a team I'm getting excited about. Man, they got some

1121
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: weapons that Jeremy Hill, Jeo Bernard A. J. Green, and

1122
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: the list goes on. Um I really like this team, Alex,

1123
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: tell me why you could see these these guys again,

1124
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: we're talking about in points scored, in yards? Why did?

1125
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 1: Why is this a team that could jump maybe uh

1126
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: into the top six or seven, maybe top five. I

1127
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: think the hope is that there are so many weapons

1128
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,320
Speaker 1: around Andy Dalton that this is finally the year that

1129
00:57:55,520 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: he can't hold that offense back. They will succeed despite

1130
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: the redhead, Right, how much money do they give him?

1131
00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: All of it? But the point is they've got a

1132
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: game changing running back they have they have two of

1133
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: them basically that have different, different skill sets. They're got

1134
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: a game changing wide receiver, Tyler Ifford's gonna come back

1135
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: from a devastating injury. He was he was looking really

1136
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: good in preseason and the years Jones, Marvin Jones is

1137
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 1: coming back from injury. Mohammed su slides into the third spot.

1138
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: It's it's all there will be healthy. Green will be healthy.

1139
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 1: Was not healthy, it's three games was a plan or fashion.

1140
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: I think he could end up being one of the

1141
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: better draft bargains if he falls into the third round

1142
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: and you know, third round draft bargain. I mean, you

1143
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,439
Speaker 1: can argue either way, but I like him because people

1144
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,600
Speaker 1: are not drafting. There's a one and he's got the

1145
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: talent to be a top ten wide receiver. Over ninety catches,

1146
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: over ards, eleven touchdowns each year. That's pretty big. And

1147
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: I'll say this about Adria Green too. Yes he disappointed

1148
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 1: last year. Yes he disapplined, There's no doubt about it.

1149
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 1: He disappointed last year. But even in a disappointing year,

1150
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 1: the guy still had a thousand yards and six touchdowns.

1151
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen when he gets healthy? And there's no

1152
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: possible way that they're gonna just double cover room. They can't.

1153
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:14,480
Speaker 1: They can't double cover him, not with Jeremy Hill, not

1154
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,439
Speaker 1: with Jale Bernard in the backfield. I just don't see.

1155
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna see a lot of single coverage man, and

1156
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: and again with those underneath the guys. In terms of

1157
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: Mohammed san New and my boy Marvin, team is the

1158
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:29,439
Speaker 1: all cow team coming together? I like it. It's coming

1159
00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: together nicely. A J. Green is gonna feast man. If

1160
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: he stays healthy, He's gonna eat. The dude's gonna eat.

1161
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: I really like A. J. Green, and you mentioned it,

1162
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: if he falls to the third round, you are getting

1163
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: a draft bargain because I think it's a second round. Guy,

1164
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: can I can I ask you a question though? Go ahead?

1165
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: Are we at some point in the middle of the

1166
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: season just magically expecting Andy don't it's gonna turn into

1167
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: like Ken Anderson or something. I mean, what's gonna happen

1168
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: the biggest offense? To me, it's like it's like one

1169
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: of those like those novels bar Sickles where you've got

1170
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: like five people on each side, and like everybody's peddling

1171
01:00:00,280 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: except one dude who's just not and everybody else has

1172
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: to peddle a little bit harder driver And seeing everybody's

1173
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: working their tail off, barycle around and Dalton might just

1174
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 1: run right. You have to remember to A. K. Green

1175
01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:19,919
Speaker 1: has been a great fantasy receiver. Dalton's been under center.

1176
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: You have been watching I can tell you've been watching

1177
01:00:22,280 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 1: some travel channel, the a little bit, a little bit

1178
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: a little trout watch. Uh, what what is it? The

1179
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: United States of Bacon? No sounds this really big dude

1180
01:00:34,920 --> 01:00:38,040
Speaker 1: who just like goes to different places in the United

1181
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: States and eats bacon. We know what why don't we

1182
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 1: all wrap this up and go get some bacon ourselves,

1183
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 1: bacon kids. Alright, so those that love bacon. Those are

1184
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: the four teams that could everybody's surprise, the four offenses

1185
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: that possibly could surprise. And again we're talking about the Dolphins, Vikings,

1186
01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: Bengals and Cardinals. Um, I just want to say, I'm

1187

Speaker 1: going into under the knife tomorrow. Oh good, get a

Speaker 1: is what your transplant. Hopefully the hair butcher will not

Speaker 1: be my surgeon tomorrow. But but no, I'm getting getting

1198
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: slider is gonna be no good. I don't even know

1199
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:41,919
Speaker 1: if I'm gonna be able to throw a football ever again.

1200
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 1: But you know, this is what happened. I tore the

1201
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,440
Speaker 1: labor because I was I thought I was young and

1202
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 1: I could throw the football, and I didn't properly warm up.

1203
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: That's what happened. Hey, I appreciate everybody listen. You've been
