27
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: little bit down there the right on the beach is

28
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: very very nice. Um. The other part of it is, though,

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Daniel LaRusso was from Jersey and then

30
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: he moved up to the valley and then he end

31
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: up in a karate tournament. They made a whole movie

32
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: about it. You should go check it out its own. Uh.

33
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: But anyway, we are. We're glad to have you back. Um.

34
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: Training camp has started, so there's plenty of stuff to

35
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: talk about. We'll go through some headlines, things that have

36
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: happened recently that are fantasy relevant, but also put together

37
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: a list of questions about training camp. Things you're sort

38
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: of paying attention to, things you're looking forward to, because

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: this is the time when we actually have things to

40
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: talk about. We have spent the last few months just

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: sort of making stuff up as we go and finding

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: any perceived bit of news that we could hang on too.

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: So now we actually have things to talk about, So

44
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about them. But uh, let's start with

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: some of the big news headlines from the past few days. Uh.

46
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: One that came out yesterday and it's one we've all

47
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: sort of been waiting for. Q Uh. Kyle Shanahan has

48
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: officially committed to Trade Lands as the Niners starting quarterback.

49
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: He says, you know, we've talked to Jimmy Garoppolo about it.

50
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: Jimmy understands what the situation is. Trey understands, the team understands.

51
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: But we are moving on to the Trade Lance era.

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: So while we had always sort of believed this was

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: going to happen, now it is official. So now that

54
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: we have the green light from Kyle Shanahan, does this

55
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: change at all how you have been or how you

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: want to draft Trade Lands? Maybe just because I feel

57
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: like people are already drafting him, because like we kind

58
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: of knew this was coming, Like we kind of knew

59
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: this is what was happening. But I mean you might

60
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: have some people out there like part of that crowd

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: as me as well with a little bit of concern

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: about the small sample, but in the same breath, he

63
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 1: could easily finish as the top seven quarterback. You know

64
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: what I mean. The rushing upside that premium there is

65
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: great and Deebo doesn't want to have running back duty

66
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: as well, you know what I mean. From weeks ten

67
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: through seventeen, you know, devot average at least seven rushing

68
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: intensive a game that is about to just get laid

69
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: right into the hands of Trade Lance where it becomes like,

70
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: you know, there's no way he doesn't finish top seven

71
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: with this rushing upside. Well, and I think you talk

72
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: about the whole Debo factor right, and part of the

73
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: off season for the forty niners has been Debo being

74
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: unhappy about what his role was last year, not wanting

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: to run the football so much. So you're right, with

76
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: a guy like Trade Lance, I think that tookes some

77
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: of that off of his plate. And before anybody freaks out,

78
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: I know everybody. I won't say everybody, but there are

79
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there who keeps saying, well,

80
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: if Debo is not running the ball, he's not going

81
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: to be as effective in fantasy. And I point to

82
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: the fact that even without his rushing stats, you just

83
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: take all that out, he was still a top ten

84
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: fantasy receiver. Lash just great. Just based on his his

85
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: past catching numbers alone, he was a top ten receiver.

86
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: So I don't think you should panic too much about

87
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: what Debo is going to be. Um. As for Lance,

88
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: what has been frustrating to me is that I was

89
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: sort of hoping and I said this before, I was

90
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: hoping to draft him sort of the way I drafted

91
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts last year, where I would sort of get

92
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: kind of a mid tier quarterback is my QB one.

93
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: I was able to come back and get Jalen Hurts

94
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: later that I feel like's not happening just because Lance

95
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: is getting drafted as a top ten quarterback. But last

96
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: year we were drafting Hurts. It's kind of a fringe

97
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 1: QB one, you know, high end Q two. We're not

98
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: getting that kind of discount with Trey Lance. We're paying

99
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: top price for Trey Lance. And like I said, it

100
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: changes a tad. It it's just more of a stamp

101
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: on our approval, like, yeah, Lea, get full setten this

102
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: this guy is gonna be legit. Yeah, I mean I

103
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: think that's kind of what it is. We all we

104
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: love it. We love you know, we love the rushing upside,

105
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: you know, the the rich rebar Konami code as it's

106
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: become known. And we love the fact that he's like

107
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: you put him in an offense with talent around him.

108
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Devo and George Kittle, Elijah Mitchell

109
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: ran the ball effectively last year. There's been a I

110
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard have you heard the Brandon

111
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: Auk drumbeats getting louder. I don't want to hear it.

112
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that. You know how I

113
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: feel about I yuck. I don't want to hear it.

114
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you know whatever. He's not that high.

115
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: It's not that high. It's actually not yet. But the

116
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: drumbeats have been pounding. And then you've got Shanahan coming

117
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: out saying that he's saying that, you know, he's matured

118
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: and he's becoming a leader. Um, it's coming, and I look,

119
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: I say, this is somebody who last year I drafted

120
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: iet a lot of spots I will never forget in

121
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: scott Fish Bowl last season, missing out on I you

122
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: can and saying to myself, fine, I'll settle for Deebo

123
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: Samuel and then look and then look look at that

124
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: turned out. So but but the the talk is back

125
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: for for another season uma his name. So but I

126
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: do have to ask this, right because obviously Lance is

127
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: pegg now to be the starter in San Francisco. Uh,

128
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: there's talk about what the forty Niners do with Jimmy Garoppolo.

129
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: Do they trade him? Do they just outright release him

130
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: and let him sort of find his way as a

131
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: free agent? You know, well we'll see sort of what

132
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: happens with that. But I'll ask you, do you think

133
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: Jimmy ends up as a starter somewhere before the year

134
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: is out? Um? I could see Jimmy as a starter.

135
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: It's not many places, um, one spot that I could

136
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: see him landing. I've been kind of beating this drum,

137
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, for a couple of months now about the

138
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: Texans actually making a move for Jimmy G. With the

139
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: obvious you know, relationship, previous relationship with the GM over there.

140
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: You know, he was on the Patriots staff and he

141
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: was able to draft Jimmy G. So it kind of

142
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: makes sense where you know, why not and they kind

143
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: of want to bring in a veteran guy that can

144
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: hate David help Davis Mills, you know, kind of mold

145
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: into this quarterback we want him to be because I'm

146
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: a huge Davis Mills fan and I want him to

147
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: do good, you know what I mean. I like what

148
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: he put on tape last year and I became a

149
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: fan of him. So I don't see it really hurting

150
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: David Mills in a long run, but us fantasy, you know, guys,

151
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: we want Davis Mills to be Davis Mills day one,

152
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: week one. But you know, Jim g comes in, you know,

153
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: long term or long ball we're looking at, you know,

154
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: a good development. I do think he's gonna end up

155
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: as a starter somewhere. I don't think it's gonna be

156
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: week one because I think everybody is, you know, barring injury,

157
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: everybody is pretty much set with their quarterback. But but

158
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: I think that's what happens, right Like, it's inevitable a

159
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: quarterback somewhere is going to get hurt and miss significant

160
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: time because it happens every year. And I think, and

161
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,239
Speaker 1: I think that is when you see a team maybe

162
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: pick up the phone. If the Niners haven't traded him,

163
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: or if they haven't released them. That's when you see

164
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: a team pick up the phone called John Lynch and say, hey,

165
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: you know what do we have to do to get

166
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: Jimmy over here. Whatever it is is going to involve

167
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: the Niner is probably eating a good chunk of that contract. Again,

168
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: that's provided they hold onto him. Uh, you know, maybe

169
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: they do just decide that that, you know, to to

170
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: quote Gwyneth Paltrow, a conscious uncoupling is uh best for everybody. Yeah,

171
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: who um. Down in Tampa, we were waiting for some

172
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: of these veteran receivers to come off the board, and

173
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: one of them finally has. Julio Jones signs a one

174
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So Julio, uh,

175
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: you know what, a year or two removed from being

176
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: in Atlanta Falcon now gets to potentially terrorize the Falcons

177
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: twice a year. We get Julio Jones revenge games like

178
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: twice a year. It's gonna be uh okay, but let's

179
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: let's keep it a buck, right. The Julio Jones we've

180
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: seen the last few years is not the same guy

181
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: who was a fantasy stud, who was you know a

182
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: lot of times the first wide receiver off the board

183
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: in a lot of drafts. That guy. That guy hasn't

184
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: been around in a couple of years. So where are

185
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: you comfortable drafting him? If you're comfortable drafting him at all,

186
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, like I probably won't draft him,

187
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: like quote unquote, see when Adam Rank said yesterday, I'm good.

188
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: That was like the best part, Like I'm good, But

189
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know where if I had to

190
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: put around and probably like the tenth I level round,

191
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 1: and you know, I think my wide receivers are sealed

192
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: up at that point where I have, you know, the

193
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver one and two on my team and maybe

194
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: even the three. But I can see him being my

195
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: four or five. You know. If he produces, he produces

196
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: very low risk, you know. But it's I can't really,

197
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, go out there and draft Julio and be

198
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: conscious and be like, yeah, my team is about to

199
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: eat it every single week. I think I saw that

200
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 1: he right now was like wide receiver seventy sevent underdog,

201
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: and it's like I can only see that going up

202
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 1: because that drum's gonna be too you know, all he

203
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: needs one camp video and that's it. Well, it's all

204
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: you need. Well, I don't even think you needed a

205
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: camp video. I feel like from the moment they announced

206
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: his signing, I think people again I always talk about

207
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: muscle memory um with with fantasy players, guys that were

208
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: just used to drafting, the name still sells. So you

209
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: have Julio Jones and the name value that he brings,

210
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 1: and you pair him with Tom Brady and the name

211
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: value that that brings, and I just think people's eyes

212
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: sort of lit up. Um, Julio Jones. It's not that,

213
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: it's not I think we have to sort of remind

214
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: ourselves of that now. I will say that early on,

215
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: there's potentially an opportunity depending on what Chris Godwin's health

216
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: is going to be. Uh, we know that Gronks not there.

217
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: I'm not are you buying I'm not buying Kyle Rudolph No, okay,

218
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: absolutely not, okay. I just want to make sure that

219
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: we're okay with that um. But there's I guess there's

220
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: a slight opportunity for him to you know, be kind

221
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: of productive. But there's just a lot of mouths to

222
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: feed in that offense, even with Tom Brady is the quarterback,

223
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,199
Speaker 1: even with Byron left, which you know, sort of pulling

224
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: the strings there. I just find it hard to agent

225
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: Julio gives us the sort of return that we want. Yeah,

226
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I'm just not seeing it right now. Uh.

227
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this though, So, like between veteran

228
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: wide receivers, who are you know in newer places, who'd

229
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 1: rather have Julio Jones or A J. Green. Oh? I'm

230
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: a huge a J. Green guy, but I like a J.

231
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: Green situation better because you know, the is still suspended

232
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: those six games, So you know, I'm really leaning on

233
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: a J. Green to produce some weeks out of there.

234
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: I've been grabbing him up as like my fourth fifth

235
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver as well Scott Fishbowl. He was my very

236
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: last pick, and I feel so that is great value

237
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: on a guy that's gonna see a large number of targets,

238
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: you know, in the first couple of weeks until the

239
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: come back. Yeah, I haven't. I can't say I've drafted

240
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: much of A J. Green because I've gone the Ron

241
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: Dale More route. But I do think I think it's

242
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: basically a a conversation of who picks up the slack

243
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: in those targets um while while is out on suspension. Um,

244
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just thought it was interesting a j

245
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 1: Green Julio Jones picked two picks apart back in eleven

246
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: guys who've had uh fairly similar, fairly similar careers. Both

247
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: were stars somewhere else and now or you know, late career,

248
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: uh in a new city. Um, does this have an

249
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: impact on Russell Gauge because he was sort of a

250
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: fantasy darling earlier this offseason? This this Julio take food

251
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: off his plate? Yeah, I really feel though Russell Gauge

252
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: is being drafted a little too high for my taste.

253
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: At one point, um as high as the six round

254
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: IVE seen him go. But um, that was more so

255
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: before we heard about God when being healthy for a

256
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: week one. So with God when being healthy, he already

257
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: took like a hit right there with the ADP. And

258
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: then now you signed Julio. Now we're looking at, you know,

259
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: snap opportunities. How many times of you know a game

260
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: is Russell Gauge gonna be on the field. That's one

261
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: of those situations where like I can't draft the Russell Gauge,

262
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, with that premium anymore. I can't draft him

263
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: as a wide receiver four or five because he might

264
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: be just a bench by for the rest of the season.

265
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: If Julio turns out and he put to like seven

266
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: yards and he ends up with six touchdowns and you

267
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: know who lives going to be able to stay on

268
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: the field if he's healthy. But again, it's like a

269
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 1: huge question mark with the shares that I do have

270
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: from Russell Gage, you don't talk about a time comes

271
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: at you. Times comes at you fast. Uh, sort of

272
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: moment like we're talking about Julio Jones like yeah, if

273
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: you can get you like seven hundred yards, I'm like,

274
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 1: oh man, that's disgusting. At the time comes for us

275
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: all man, Like life comes at you fast for real?

276
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah it does. But that that's sort of where we

277
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: are with Julio Jones. Um, yeah, it's gonna be the

278
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: Bucks and the Bucks offense is going to be an

279
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: interesting one to figure out because there's so many places

280
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: to go with the football and all those guys are

281
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: really talented and can can be playmakers. The question is

282
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: do they sort of cannibalize each other as the season

283
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 1: goes on? Um In Jacksonville, James Robinson reportedly will not

284
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: start training camp on the Pop List, surprising, right, I mean,

285
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: I think we all sort of anticipated that after suffering

286
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: an injury late late in the season. I think it

287
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: was mid to late December when he got hurt and

288
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: it looked like he was gonna be out for an

289
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: extended period of time. But right now it's like he's

290
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: gonna be on the field. Travis Etian was I think

291
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: in a DP darling in a lot of drafts. Yeah,

292
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: should we be concerned about that a DP? Or should

293
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: we maybe you know, knock him down around or two

294
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: because James Robinson is there. How are you feeling about that? Um?

295
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think E t N stays

296
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: the same. It's not like a huge impact with James

297
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: Trobson involved. Doug EPs known to use multiple running backs,

298
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: but I'm looking at the PPR upside here and Travis

299
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: e TN is pretty good with the football and open

300
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: space as well. Doug EP understands that. And then a

301
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: relationship between Trevor LaRence the previous college you know guys.

302
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: So I really feel as though, like the ADP stays

303
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: the same for me, the same, you know, expectations for

304
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: Travis E t N. Because again, he's like a lot

305
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: of running back two is a lot of running, running

306
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: back threes on rosters or whatever you got him as,

307
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: and it feel as though he has some high upside

308
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: RB two, you know, lowing RB one upside if this

309
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: PPR game gets to go and every single week. I

310
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: think that's that's the key, because we live in a

311
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: PPR world and you know, they think the number is

312
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: I know Floorio likes to quote it. I think it's

313
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, a target is basically worth one and a

314
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: half times what I what I carry is. So knowing

315
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: that E t N is going to get those pass

316
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: catching opportunities out of the backfield, I think certainly makes

317
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: him worthwhile. And I love James Robinson. I hope he

318
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: is healthy and recovered and ready to play again. Um,

319
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 1: but just because he's not on the pup list now

320
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that something can't happen, you know a little

321
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: bit down the road, and yeah, you know, make something up,

322
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 1: you know that makes something what happens, you know, right, So,

323
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean I hope everything is well for him. I

324
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: hope he's able to get back on the field and play,

325
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: But I also would sort of approach that with with

326
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: a little bit of caution. Um, I think I'm trying

327
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: to see where what is Robinson's ADP right now? Uh,

328
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: He's way down the list, so it might it might

329
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 1: even still be all right if his ADP stays low.

330
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: It's worth taking that shot later in a draft, uh

331
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: and seeing if that works out for you. I mean

332
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: the year that we had with injuries where you know,

333
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: you were running to the way wear for running back.

334
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at having to Jane drops in on

335
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: the stash. Yeah, we know what he can do. We've

336
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: seen what he can do when he's healthy. Um. So

337
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean even last year being banged up, he still

338
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: got you, you know, nine touchdowns. So it's it's not

339
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: the worst thing in the world. Not it. Not only

340
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: was he banked up, but just you know, the mess

341
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars frest on and off the field, on

342
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: and off the field last year, still scored touch tragedy. Man,

343
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: it was awful. Side note, I don't think it was

344
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: funny that Travisy teams like, look, if I was ever

345
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: gonna miss a year, it feels like last year was

346
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: kind of the year. So I don't think he was

347
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: totally wrong about that. Um. Speaking of injured running backs,

348
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of unfortunate news, not surprising, but unfortunately nonetheless,

349
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: Chris Carson announcing his ret ironment after five seasons because

350
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: of a neck injury. Uh, he was released basically by

351
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Uh. First off, it's just he really played

352
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: five season. It felt like he was in our lives

353
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: a whole lot longer than I'm thinking, like eight seasons, right,

354
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: And I was like, I really I saw that. I

355
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: went to look and I'm like, wow, it really was

356
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: only five seasons. And and honestly, it was only really

357
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 1: three seasons of him being fully fantasy relevant. You know,

358
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: his rookie His rookie year, he just played four games.

359
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,879
Speaker 1: Last year he played just four games because of the

360
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: neck injury. So it was just, you know, eighteen, nineteen

361
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: and twenty that he was actually really fantasy relevant. But

362
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: I think what I always loved about Chris Carson from

363
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: a fantasy perspective is that he was that guy who,

364
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: to me, was perpetually underrated. Right. He was always hanging

365
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: on the board in round four and people were sort

366
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: of drafting him as like a mid round, mid level

367
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: RB two, And when the season was done, he was

368
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: kind of giving you fringe RB one numbers. Um, so

369
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: you know I have to come by like it's like

370
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: him as like a Robert Woods, Like he's a Robert

371
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: Woods type of template. Like that's why we used for

372
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: like even for Ryan Tannehill. I used it for last

373
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: year even though he burned me. But we're not gonna

374
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: get But I feel like Chris Carson, man, that's such

375
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: a rare diamond, doesn't get that RB two. That's so

376
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: like when you draft him, you knew your running backs

377
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: were set because you just got like that diamond. It does,

378
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be productive And sucks to see him retirement.

379
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: Really that burns for me. Yeah, yeah, I mean certainly

380
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 1: wish him the best and whatever whatever comes next for

381
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: him after football. Um, but yeah, just unfortunate to see

382
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: see the career end so soon and because of injury

383
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: the way it did. But I got to ask, I mean,

384
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: is there a a new Chris Carson? And by that,

385
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 1: I mean like the the running back that that everybody

386
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: sort of let's fall on the draft board but ends

387
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: up sort of outperforming his a DP. Listen, I feel

388
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: as though we have maybe the prototype. We got somebody

389
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 1: that's going into this next year and he's still being undervalue,

390
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: and I feel like it's gonna be Elijah Mitchell. We're

391
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: gonna be looking at this Christopher Carson type of like

392
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,199
Speaker 1: you know template, because man, the guy performed when he

393
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: was on field. I mean, he had five one yard

394
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: games and you know it's tied for second and behind

395
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor who had ten, which is, you know crazy.

396
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: I had to look at that toice, but I feel like,

397
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: you know, Elijah Mitchell's he's gonna be that reliable RB

398
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: two for a lot of teams. And he's still that

399
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: top guy, even though you know Shanahan likes to do

400
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 1: the rotation, He's still that top dog and he's gonna eat.

401
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: And I really feels that we gotta take him serious

402
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: because he's second. Listen to this, that four point eight

403
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: yards per carry versus stack boxes. He's second in that

404
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb at number one. This guy doesn't it doesn't

405
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: matter if the box is stacked. He's going to just

406
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: go out there and eat. And right now he's like

407
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: RB twenty three. So what are we doing, people, What

408
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: are we doing? Uh? Yeah, that's a good one. My

409
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: mind that I've been falling back on the last few

410
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: years has been David Montgomery. Um, I don't I don't

411
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: know if people still have a bad taste in their

412
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: mouth from his rookie season when he was really really

413
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: hyped and he was just okay. You know, he wasn't

414
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: great as a rookie. It was just okay. But he's

415
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: been getting better steadily every year since then, showing he

416
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: can do more and more things. But yet, for whatever reason,

417
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: you know, he's still coming off the board is like

418
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: RB fifteen, RB sixteen, And this is a guy that

419
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: I think has a legit chance every year because of

420
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: the opportunity in that offense to finish as a top

421
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: twelve running back. But it just feels like it feels

422
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: like we haven't caught up. And maybe some of it is.

423
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: Maybe some of it's just a case of if you

424
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: put Montgomery in the top twelve, who do you take out?

425
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 1: And I guess I kind of understand that argument, but

426
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I feel like we can find some room.

427
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: Like I'm looking and I'm still eating a drum with

428
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: clear Herbert. That's why I really think. You know that

429
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: the couple of games that he had on David, you know,

430
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: when David Montgomery wasn't there available, I feel as though

431
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people are feared of, like you know,

432
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: Herbert actually taken some type of touchess. Because we've seen

433
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: this happening before with Tree. It was a kind of

434
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: going where we're like, you know, feed Monty, feed the Beast,

435
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: and you know it's constantly the Tarik Cohn Show, so

436
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's maybe a situation on the Brew. And

437
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,479
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just hope Monte eats this year

438
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 1: because I got a lot of them in my fantasy leagues. Yeah,

439
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: I mean I hope so too. And I don't know,

440
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm not completely buying me Khalil Herbert thing just yet.

441
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: Um at least you know, obviously they will use him,

442
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,160
Speaker 1: he'll get involved. But I don't. I just don't see

443
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: it in a way to make me worried about Montgomery's opportunities.

444
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: I just I just don't. I don't think you're crowd

445
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: beating that drum. You know, it gets closer, said, I

446
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 1: tell you that it gets loud, I think. But I

447
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: think that's also part of again, this is part of

448
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: what happens when we are doing this all year long,

449
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: all summer long, without a break, is that we gotta

450
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: find me like we gotta find new people to talk about, right, Like,

451
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,440
Speaker 1: you know, I mean say that I can say, I

452
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: guess we could have the game David's argument edit that no,

453
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: no want to the eleven dieth time. I guess you

454
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: know we can. We can. We can run it back

455
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: to the Almand Ross st. Brown arguments if you want.

456
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: But part of that that was a good argument. But

457
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: but I think, I think this is what happens. So

458
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: we end up having to come up with new arguments,

459
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: and so I think that's how you end up with

460
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: Khalil Herbert and that sort of thing. Um, So we'll see. Uh.

461
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 1: Last bit of news and again another piece of unfortunate news,

462
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: but one with at least the silver lining. Here, Texans

463
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: rookie wide receiver John Mechi has been diagnosed with leukemia.

464
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: Says he is very unlikely to play at all in

465
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: the two season. That is the bad news. The good

466
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: news is, uh, it's an incredibly curable form of leukemia

467
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: a p L which I acute, I'm gonna try this

468
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 1: prior myolocidic leukemia, um is what he's been diagnosed with.

469
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: It's UH, as he said, the most curable form of leukemia.

470
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: So he's going to take this year off, try and

471
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: get his health together, and we'll see what happens next year.

472
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: So first and foremost best wishes for a a complete

473
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: and speedy recovery for John Mechi and you know, all

474
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: the support and all the thoughts out to to his

475
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: friends and family people around him who we're gonna you know,

476
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: who I'm sure he will have to lean on during

477
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: this time. Um, So we certainly wish him all the best.

478
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: From a fantasy perspective, obviously, this leaves a little bit

479
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: of a hole in a Texans wide receiver room that

480
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: didn't have anything solidified. I mean there's Brandon Cooks and

481
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: there's sort of everybody else. Um, I know Met she

482
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: was a guy that you know, maybe it was worth

483
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: taking some some dart throws out later in drafts with

484
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: him gone? Is there anybody else in that wide receiver room,

485
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: you know, besides Brandon Cooks you have an interest in so,

486
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: believe it or not. I like Nico Collins. I mean

487
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: that's just me just watching tape on him. That's just

488
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: me seeing that he's six four, he knows a big body,

489
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver that can go up and get in And

490
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: I like guys like that, It's doesn't matter if he

491
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 1: could stay on the field. And again, he's cheap, he's free,

492
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: he's litting those later drafts, so very low risk, maybe

493
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: high reward. You know, maybe he comes into this season

494
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: and him and David Smells can bring some chemistry and

495
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: score some touchdowns. But again, if you're gonna draft anybody,

496
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 1: I think Nicole Collins just definitely should be on your radar.

497
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the thing about drafting Texans is that generally speaking,

498
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: you're you're not putting out a lot of draft capital

499
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 1: for them. You're just not you know, like you got

500
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: to invest something in cooks um. But that's kind of it.

501
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, I've been drafting. I still

502
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: see him getting disrespected with a DPS man. I feel

503
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: as though I'm stealing when I get him as a

504
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: fide receiver. Three, He's another guy I just don't in

505
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: in both real football and fantasy football. Yeah, he gets

506
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: disrespected every year. I mean the fact he up getting traded,

507
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: it felt like every year for a while, and everywhere

508
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 1: he went he kept putting up a thousand yards. He

509
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: just he kept doing it, and for whatever reason, teams

510
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: you're like yeah, you know what, that's not gonna We're

511
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: gonna just send you on somewhere else. It's not you know,

512
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: and fantasy sort of the same thing. I guess people

513
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: keep looking at him and looking at his quarterback situations

514
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: and and just shrugging the shield. But it hasn't mattered, man.

515
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's been with a lot of different quarterbacks

516
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: and he still puts up the same you know, still

517
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: thousand to twelve hundred yards every year, you know, six seven,

518
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns every year. I don't know, man, I'm maybe

519
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm crazy. I wouldn't mind having a dude like that

520
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: on my team. I'm just saying, he's all right, take

521
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: a quick break, come back, and we'll dive into some

522
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: training camp questions. Just things we're gonna be looking for

523
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: over the next few weeks. Guys maybe with something to gain,

524
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 1: guys with maybe something to lose in training camp as well.

525
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 1: To stick around for that. Coming up next on the

526
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football show, Hanging Out with the Kwon Jones

527
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: is uh, we dive into training camp stuff. I don't

528
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: know if you have been watching NFL Network, I'm sure

529
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: if you listen to this show you probably have. And

530
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,200
Speaker 1: so you know that inside Training Camp live is back

531
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: on our screens, and in fact, coming up this weekend

532
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 1: is back together Saturday, we will be live at all

533
00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: thirty two training camps all across the count tree. It

534
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: will be all over the network. So if you haven't

535
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: started the tuning back in the NFL network one, what

536
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: why not to? Now is absolutely the time to do it,

537
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: because it's live, it's for real. We have guys giving

538
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: us football like substance. We haven't quite reached football. We're

539
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: only at football like substance for the next few weeks. Uh,

540
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: and then let's put it to the end of August

541
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 1: if we can have actual football again. Um, but let

542
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: me just start with a basic question, que because uh,

543
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: as you know, we spent a lot of time obviously

544
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: going through numbers and watching game tape and you know,

545
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: arguing up and down, left and right, the whole deal.

546
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 1: But now that we have again football like substance, what

547
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 1: sort of things do you pay attention to during training

548
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,359
Speaker 1: camp in the preseason. So there's a lot of things

549
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: that you know, you could pay attention to and overreact to,

550
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, quad pictures, you know that bos every year

551
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: shout out Mike Davis because that was just ridiculous. But

552
00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things you can pay attention to.

553
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: But for me personally, I look at the reps and

554
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: the reps with the first team and a lot of

555
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,479
Speaker 1: you know, camp battles that are going on, Like I

556
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: really don't pay too much attention the first couple of

557
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: days of training camp, but that second weekly into the

558
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: preseason and stuff like that, that's that's definitely something that

559
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: you have to have on your radar, Like, for instance,

560
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 1: Acres and Henderson August fifth, I'll be at the RAMS

561
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,199
Speaker 1: training camp. I'm definitely gonna keep my eye on that.

562
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: You know, how healthy is Acres and Henderson taking just

563
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: ones because Acres isn't healthy enough. These are all questions

564
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: that are on effect their ADPs, you know, and I

565
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: feel like Gordon and Williams as well, you know, over

566
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: there in Denver. That's something to pay attention to. So

567
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: definitely reps and reps with first teams, that's something that

568
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: you probably should just keep your focal point on. Yeah,

569
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: I think that's that's sort of all that I'm about, right.

570
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: I just want to see I want to see the reps,

571
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: like who's lining up with the ones, who's lining up

572
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: with the two's that sort of thing. Once we get

573
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: to actual preseason games, you know, I'm also sort of

574
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on situations like what you know, what

575
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 1: situations are guys on the field, who's who's on the

576
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: field on third down, who's getting that's going first and

577
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: second down? Um, I think that's sort of worth paying

578
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 1: attention to do it. Now, that doesn't mean you have

579
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 1: to sit and watch all four quarters of a preseason game.

580
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: I don't think that's you know, unless you look, unless

581
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: you love to, you know, don't don't let me. I

582
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: can't remember me tell you what to do, right, Like

583
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: I'm not your dad, but whatever. But you know, like

584
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: you know, but pay attention to sort of like you know,

585
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: not only who's getting the reps with the first team

586
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: what have you, but also when guys are being used.

587
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: If there's a guy that's consistently out there on third down,

588
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: you can get an idea that, you know, maybe that's

589
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: what this this guy's role is going to be during

590
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: the season. So I think that's something worth paying attention to. Uh,

591
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 1: I know it's fun to do. And ah over training

592
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: camp video of guys making toe tap catches and you know,

593
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: guys running out and stuff like that. But uh, you know,

594
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: I think you take that for what it is for

595
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: entertainment purposes only, uh, and don't don't necessarily, uh buy

596
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 1: too much into that. Don't do a whole thread right exactly.

597
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: But I also say I also say that as the

598
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: person who is looking for, you know, the player that

599
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: gets the hard Knocks bump every season, because there's always

600
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: always one guy, isn't it. It's the Lions, Yeah, the

601
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: one guy who, like you know, has a either a

602
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: funny quote or makes a play like on hard Knocks.

603
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, let's pay attention to you know,

604
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I admit, did I do that? All right? Um?

605
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: Obviously a part of the off season has been a

606
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: lot of player movement, especially with wide receivers going from

607
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: one spot to another. But you know, a lot of

608
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,959
Speaker 1: different positions quarterbacks, running backs, etcetera. Who was a player

609
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: in a new place that you are most curious about

610
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: watching this preseason? So I'm gonna keep it home home

611
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: in l a. H Alan Robinson's definitely somebody I'm curious

612
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: to see with that chemistry, you know, with Matthew Stafford.

613
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: This is his real first quarterback and expectations I for him,

614
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: Like I say that because it's true, like if you're right,

615
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: but we've been saying for the last few years and

616
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 1: like this, but this this is the time and it

617
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: really is true. Yeah, And it's like, man, he has

618
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. Was he when Matthew Stafford did with Cup?

619
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm just really curious to see how he fits into

620
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: this mold because we know Cooper Cup and Stafford are

621
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 1: like basically married at right at this point, you know

622
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: they're going to breakfast, they're showing up at they're getting flashy,

623
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: like I love all that stuff and shoutout Cooper Cup

624
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: with that loud shirt. You know that's something that would wear.

625
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: But it really feel as though Allen Robinson, you know

626
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people are a little bit down because

627
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: of their numbers last year. But okay, whatever the case,

628
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,239
Speaker 1: maybe we already know what that situation was. Now he

629
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: has Matthew Stafford and Sean McVeigh callin the plays like

630
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: we cannot forget who Alan Romson is. He's that guy

631
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: that's going to go up top and get that ball

632
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 1: and come down and score. That's something that I'm really

633
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:45,960
Speaker 1: curious to see how he fits into this mold. Yeah,

634
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: I am too, I guess I think just I just

635
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 1: sort of believe that, like he's going to eat You're

636
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 1: talking about a talented receiver. You're preparing him with, you know,

637
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: the best quarterback he's ever played with in his professional career.

638
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: You've got him with, You've got him with a very

639
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: good offensive head coach, um, you know, and he slides

640
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: right into that role as the number two behind Cooper Cup.

641
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: And we've seen you mentioned Robert Woods earlier, right, Robert

642
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: Woods eight for years. Uh, they're right. Odell Beckham before

643
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 1: he got hurt, was doing I mean, look even in

644
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: that Super Bowl game, was making plays, was doing right.

645
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: But I mean very well could have if he had

646
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: kept going on what he was doing early. Um, you know,

647
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: he was making plays there. So there is room for

648
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson to succeed. And I was surprised earlier this

649
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: draft season at how low his a DP was. It

650
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: didn't it didn't really make Uh yeah, it really kind

651
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: of was. It was definitely disrespectful. So you know, I

652
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: feel like it's sort of evened out now, like we're

653
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: in a better place where We're in a better place now. Um,

654
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it with wide receivers. Uh. And I'm

655
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: gonna go with Juju Smith Schuster and I feel like

656
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of Juju talk late. We I've

657
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: seen a lot more Juju talk on my on my timeline. Uh. Look,

658
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: who knows if he gets back to where he was

659
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: a few years ago with the Steelers. You can't guarantee it.

660
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: But this is the best opportunity he's had. He's in

661
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: this Kansas City offense with you know, arguably the best

662
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league, in a dynamic offense. He's got

663
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey on one side to sort of help take

664
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: some of that attention away. He's got Marquess Valves scantling

665
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: to help stretch the field. Uh. And I think I

666
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: think we're gonna see Juju kind of go back to

667
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: being the playmaker he was earlier in his career in Pittsburgh.

668
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: I feel like the a DP maybe starting to come

669
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: up a little bit, but it's been pretty low for

670
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: the most part. I think I think people have looked

671
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: at what happened the last few years and it's just

672
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: sort of written Juju off. Um. I see you do

673
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: that at your own peril. But I guess at the

674
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: same time, thank you for the discount because it's very much.

675
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: It really has. And I also say that though, too,

676
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: because we have for years has been desirous of having

677
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 1: any other parts of the Chief's offense. Right, I mean,

678
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: you know you knew you were drafting Kelsey very early.

679
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: You were drafting Tyreek Hill probably in the first round

680
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and we have been trying

681
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: to you know, square peg round whole another Chiefs wide

682
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: receiver for years. I mean, right, It's the reason he

683
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: kept trying to make Nicole Hardman a thing. Uh, it's

684
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: the reason you know we we even tried with like

685
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: Byron Pringle and the Marcus Robinson and you know, all

686
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: these guys that they were going through. So I think

687
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: juju is at least in part and answer to that, Um, so,

688
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: I'm I really want to watch I saw video of

689
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: a diving catch. I know this falls under you don't

690
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: get hyped about drinking video, um And I don't think

691
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: it's not the video itself of the diving catch that

692
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: that gets me excited. What it was is that it

693
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:58,320
Speaker 1: was a downfield throw that he that he was getting

694
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,040
Speaker 1: to Chase and that was something that didn't happen in

695
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 1: those last couple of years in Pittsburgh. Um he had

696
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: become a de facto tied end, where like he would

697
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: catch the football and the blue line of scrimmage line

698
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: was still on the screen, which is like the worst

699
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: thing ever for your fantasy receivers. So just the fact

700
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 1: that at least in these training camp videos we see

701
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: them pushing the ball down field to Juju, that excites

702
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: me as much as Yeah, definitely, I feel so, you know,

703
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: you're getting a discount on Juju and hopefully it stays

704
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: that way. I feel so he's getting an upgrade at

705
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: quarterback as well, Like we had to look at Patrick

706
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes is one of the best, so we can only expect,

707
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 1: you know, at least I would say serviceable, you know,

708
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver duty and wide receiver points week to week

709
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: from juju Ju, because more or less, when you're drafting him,

710
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 1: he's probably getting your flex or he's not you know,

711
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 1: even in your lineup. But once those points are producing,

712
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: you'll probably throw him back in there. And I just

713
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 1: know that, you know, going from end of career Ben

714
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger to Rogan in his prime. Patrick Mahomes, Man, I

715
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 1: mean that's who a huge jump and it is kind

716
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: of respect that he Jude is gonna be fun year.

717
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean it's like it's like going from like the

718
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 1: box mac and cheese to like actual, like really homemade

719
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: what is this right? Like? Oh? Like oh man, I

720
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: can't go back now. So that's like me when I

721
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: first I had the shot right brand pop tars for

722
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: probably most of my childhood, and then when I moved

723
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: to the actual I'm like, wow, yeah, right, exactly, wow exactly.

724
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: You're like, man, my mom has been holding out on me.

725
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: Uh for real? Um, which team or maybe teams if

726
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: there's more than one are you most interested in watching

727
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: this preseason? Oh? Man, I got a couple, man, I'm well,

728
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: Jets are obviously on the top of my list. I

729
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: want to see what those draft pieces they got, you know,

730
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: at least some of them, Like I probably won't see

731
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: much of Priests Hall, but maybe a couple of touches.

732
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,720
Speaker 1: Let's see, you know, how he's looking in game speed,

733
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: well preseason game speed or whatever, you know, where actual

734
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: football players not on his team but Steelers maybe maybe

735
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: because some Kenny Pickett action. You know, that'd be cool

736
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 1: to see maybe some RABISKI see how you know much

737
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 1: he's taken a step forward in his development. Um. Obviously

738
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: that the Baker and Sam donald sag. I mean, that's

739
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: that's that's definitely on top of my list. I need

740
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: to see who's going out there taking those reps, so

741
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: that would be something to watch. Yeah, I definitely want

742
00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: to see Pittsburgh, as you mentioned that the Pick It

743
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: True Whisky battle is is gonna be one it's interesting

744
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: to watch. I want to see the Dolphins, um, just

745
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: to kind of see because there's so many pieces there

746
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,760
Speaker 1: and you know, I know we talk a lot about

747
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: the Tyreek killed Jalen Waddle, you know, to a triumphrate there,

748
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 1: but they also want and added some running backs too.

749
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of guys, a lot of pieces

750
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: that Mike McDaniels has to try to figure out like

751
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: how they fit together. And I'm I'm very curious to

752
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: kind of watch that offense a little bit down there.

753
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how much we're gonna see

754
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and his guys, but you know what what

755
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:53,720
Speaker 1: they do without Davanta Adams, how they spread the ball around.

756
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: I saw Rogers, Rogers joking about going from you know,

757
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer to Hall of Famer with Davantae Adams

758
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 1: and uh Alan Lazard, which I know is sort of

759
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 1: a you know him him poking fun at Davante saying

760
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: he went from home of favorite. Yeah, you know, look,

761
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: it's all I feel like it's all in good fun.

762
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: It's up serious, But I'm kind of curious about that.

763
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 1: I want to you know, I want to see the Saints.

764
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: Uh this this preseason a crystal love is there. Michael

765
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: Thomas is back on the practice field. In fact, he

766
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:33,440
Speaker 1: was taking shots on Twitter fantasy doctors on Twitter. Michael Thomas,

767
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: who was the king of cryptic tweets, us a sick man.

768
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 1: You know, I truly believe. You know, if if you

769
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: have seen the the infamous Denny Carter, uh you know,

770
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver tweets or it's kindly and carries a knife,

771
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: I am I am a hundred and twenty seven percent

772
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: sure that that was written about Michael Thomas, because he

773
00:37:54,320 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: is the king of tweets like that. But I want

774
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: to see what what this group looks like. And I

775
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: don't know how much you know, how much Dennis Allen's

776
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: gonna let these guys play, but with Jami's a quarterback healthy,

777
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 1: with Michael Thomas back, olave there Alvin Kamara, Um, I

778
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: just kind of want to get a feel for what

779
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: this offense is going to be. Again, I don't I

780
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: don't know how many snaps are gonna see them all together,

781
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: but I would have Esportially, we probably won't see when Steemy,

782
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: probably won't see Michael Thomas, but I really want to

783
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:23,440
Speaker 1: see krisal Love. I want to see what he can

784
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: do out there. Now, I'm with you, I'm I'm totally

785
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: agreed on that too. Plus look, I just want to

786
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: see what other wide receivers might be worth uh you know,

787
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: throwing a dart at in this offense if any um.

788
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: And that's that's what preseason is going to be about.

789
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 1: Which player or players do you feel like has the

790
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 1: most to gain uh in in preseason and training camp? Um,

791
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 1: your guy, Gino smith Man. I really feel so if

792
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: he comes out polished, righty to go Week one, I

793
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: really think he can make the Seahawks. Like we're really

794
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 1: looking at the Seahawks right now where thinking know their

795
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: forfeit the division, they're gonna be trash. You know they're

796
00:38:57,960 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: gonna get a quarterback next year. I think if Gino

797
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: Smith comes out polished and he's good and doing his job,

798
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: because he wasn't bad last year when he took over

799
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 1: for Us Wilson, I'll say that. So I really feel

800
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: as though he could take a step forward and end

801
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: up having them win some games, be contenders in the division,

802
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: even though the Rams are wanted the super Bowl again.

803
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: But you know, you still wanna know you think I

804
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:28,799
Speaker 1: was gonna that in Yeah, uh yeah, I'm curious cause

805
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: that's that's another interesting camp battle between with Andrew lock Um.

806
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: I don't think the winner of that battle becomes necessarily

807
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy relevant, but I do think it's going to be

808
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: impactful for DK Metcalf and Tyler Locket and all the

809
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: rest of the past chachers. They're uh, no sign are

810
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: We don't know a fans at all. Now that he's

811
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: in Seattle. I feel like we haven't talked about. I

812
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: feel like I haven't heard anybody talking about I haven't

813
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 1: heard it. I haven't seen any threads. I don't know.

814
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: He's a question mark for me. He's going late to

815
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: He's like probably tight in fourteen fifteen, not in front

816
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: of me looking. You know, he's in those later rounds

817
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: where you take a shot, but I don't know. And yeah,

818
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: it depends who the quarterback is. To be honest, I

819
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: feel like if he had stayed in Denver with Russell Wilson,

820
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: we would be when he got that text, wait, it

821
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: was probably like, hey man, we're getting Russell Wilson, but

822
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: you're on your way to Seattle. Oh my god, I

823
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: was so fast. I mean, that's some fun, fun story.

824
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: I just remember years ago hearing Jeff Hornesseet, who was

825
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: a long time NBA guard UH played for the Sons,

826
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:46,200
Speaker 1: and he was once asked by Sons general manager, Hey,

827
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: how would you feel if we could go out and

828
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: get Charles Barkley in a trade? In Hortasex says, I

829
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 1: think that's awesome. We should do whatever we can to

830
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: bring in a guy like Charles Barkley. Great, because we're

831
00:40:55,480 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 1: gonna send you to Philadelphia, so so dirty respect. That's

832
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 1: kind of what I feel like. Happened to know a

833
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: family like, hey man, we got a chance to get

834
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, but we gotta trade you to Seattle. I'll

835
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: be so pissed. Like I retired. So yeah, uh as

836
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,080
Speaker 1: for me, you know, a guy I feel like has

837
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 1: a lot to potentially gain in training camp is Zack Wilson. Um,

838
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: you talked about the Jets and being interested in watching

839
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:28,480
Speaker 1: the Jets. Yes, they went out of their way to

840
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 1: really kind of build around him. I mean, you know,

841
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,839
Speaker 1: we we knew, you know, we were excited about Elijah More,

842
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: we were excited last year about Michael Carter. But they

843
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 1: go in, they had Breeze Hall, they get Garrett Wilson. Uh,

844
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 1: you know, they're trying to sort of beef up this

845
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: offensive line a little bit. They are at least giving

846
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: him a chance to be successful. What he does with

847
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: that is sort of on him at this point. It's

848
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 1: up to him. But I don't think anybody's gonna look

849
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: around and say, well, they didn't give him help, Which

850
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: is sort of the opposite of what happened with Sam Donald,

851
00:41:57,440 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: where you know, yeah, Donald has had some issues on

852
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,280
Speaker 1: isn't like I'm not I'm not I'm not absolving him

853
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:07,399
Speaker 1: of the poor play he is had. It was kind

854
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:12,400
Speaker 1: of like, yeah, I mean, no, he has. He bears

855
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: a lot of responsibility in this situation. Not gonna lie

856
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 1: about that, But I don't know that the Jets did

857
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: a lot in the past to help him out either

858
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: of those first couple of years the best Jets draft

859
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: they hadn't. Yeah, because I've been on this earth, I think,

860
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I honestly think that was sort of why

861
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: in the end it was best for both sides to separate,

862
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: just because it just wasn't working out. It was a

863
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,080
Speaker 1: mutual it was a mutual screw up. Um. But they are,

864
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: they are helping Zach Wilson. I think in ways that

865
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: they've never that they never helped Sam Donald before, and

866
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: so I think, yeah, I'm this is a chance for

867
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: him to really take that leap forward. And I know

868
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,480
Speaker 1: no one's no one's drafting him in fantasy expecting him

869
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: to do much of anything. I don't know if anyone's

870
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: drafting him at all outside of like two QB leagues

871
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: or super flex leagues or what have you. Um, But

872
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 1: there really is a chance for him, I think, to

873
00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,880
Speaker 1: take a step forward this year with the guys around

874
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: been seeing if he can he can become something close

875
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: to what the Jets were hoping when they draft him.

876
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: He could be more like that guy that made that

877
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: throw in a pro day that you know, broke Fantasy

878
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: Twitter for about twenty four hours like that that I think, uh,

879
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: that I think is a big deal. So um alright,

880
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: So then on the flip side, which player has the

881
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: most to lose during training camp? I'm going back to

882
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,319
Speaker 1: that Sam Donald and Baker. You know, Saga Baker is

883
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,920
Speaker 1: not the start of a week one. His career is

884
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 1: over and had respect, it's over. If San Donald beat

885
00:43:33,239 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: you at a camp and doods the starter for wctually

886
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: after they gave up assets to trade to trade for

887
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: you too, what like for real, Like he has the

888
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: most to lose th anybody in camp right now, because

889
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: it's like if you go in there, you know, if

890
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: your head is not you know, mentally there and you

891
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: just going through the emotions. Man, Sam Donald is fighting

892
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,640
Speaker 1: for his life right now. So it's a little you

893
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: know different. On the other side, Sam Donald's fighting to

894
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: be the starter because you know they're cool, but you

895
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,200
Speaker 1: know what that means, Oh yeah, no, like we're yeah, okay, yeah,

896
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: we're cool. Like you know, it's like the the co

897
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 1: worker that you you say hi to, but you're not

898
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 1: like we're not we're not going happy hour together. That's

899
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 1: what that means, like, we're cool, We're cool. That's taking

900
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: my job right exactly. Uh, you know, I'll keep it.

901
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 1: I'll kind of keep it going along that same vein.

902
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: And we talked about Pittsburgh and I think Mitch Rubinsky

903
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,360
Speaker 1: has a lot to lose right now. Um. You know,

904
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 1: Steelers went and brought him in and for a minute

905
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 1: it looked like he was, you know, for sure the

906
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: bona fide starter. Then they go out and draft Kenny Pickett. Uh,

907
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,320
Speaker 1: and now there is an actual camp battle happening between

908
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: these two. And I wouldn't be surprised if Trubisky wins

909
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,880
Speaker 1: that job. I would be a little bit surprised if

910
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 1: we're talking week seventeen eighteen and Mitch Trubisky has been

911
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: the starter all year long. I just don't know if

912
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,600
Speaker 1: if that's going to happen. But I think I think

913
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: it starts in training camp. If Pickett can go out

914
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: and be competitive, um, you know and really forced the

915
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,919
Speaker 1: coaches to think about this, I think that bodes well

916
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: for him over the course of the season. And like

917
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: I said, even if he doesn't win the job out

918
00:45:14,239 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 1: of camp, uh, if he can play well in training camp,

919
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 1: and in the preseason and at least make the argument

920
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 1: that he deserves a shot. Yeah, just just make the

921
00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: argument that you deserve a shot. Then I think he's

922
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: going to get that job before the year is out. Now,

923
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: if he goes and he just you know, poops the

924
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:33,759
Speaker 1: bed um, then it's Drabinski's gig and you know, we

925
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: just we all move on til next year. But I

926
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: do think, I do think Troops has a lot to lose,

927
00:45:39,920 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: uh in this, you know, I mean, this is this

928
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: is his last chance, I think to really be a

929
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,760
Speaker 1: bona fide starter in this league. And if it doesn't

930
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: happen this year, I think I think he's just a

931
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: journeyman at this point. At this point, I feel like,

932
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: you know, Mitch, he's a serviceable quarterback. And like you said,

933
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,239
Speaker 1: Pickett has to be doing something in camp that's like

934
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: over and beyond in the preseason as well for him

935
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: to win that starting job, because I think they can

936
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: win games with Drabinsky, you know what I mean. And

937
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 1: for fantasy purposes, I'm not worried about Deonti Johnson either way,

938
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 1: whoever's that quarterback? You know, Trabinsky produced you know, Allen Robins,

939
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: since you know, top twelve, you know, back to back

940
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 1: seasons in a thousand yards. So it's like Drabinsky is

941
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: a serviceable quarterback and then he can definitely make you know,

942
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: the guys that we know and love, you know, like

943
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool and Deonte Johnson Fantasy relevant and of course

944
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,680
Speaker 1: not J Harris. So I'm not really too worried about

945
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: this Seelo's offense as much as you know, I feel

946
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,719
Speaker 1: as everybody else, So Trabinsky, you know, it could be

947
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: pick it. I'm good with both of them, you know,

948
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,400
Speaker 1: at the at the captain spot, I feel like the

949
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: idea that you know, we're not worried about the Steelers offense.

950
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 1: And you're not the first person to say this, but

951
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of that stems from, as

952
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 1: you call him, broken Ben, right, like the fact that

953
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger was the guy he was over the last

954
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,800
Speaker 1: couple of years, and but we were still okay drafted

955
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson and Chase Claypool and all those guys. So

956
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,399
Speaker 1: I mean, if if those guys could prosper with Ben

957
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: at the end of his career, why couldn't they do

958
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:09,399
Speaker 1: the same like that? So uh so, yeah, I guess

959
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: that that argument does does make some sense for me. Um.

960
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 1: Last day before we wrap up the show, the story

961
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: that kind of went around Twitter hilarious on Tuesday. So

962
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray got his big new contract after you know,

963
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: I'm following or scrubbing the Cardinals from all the social media.

964
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: It's always the same time of year, I know, right, like,

965
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: when I get close to renegotiating my deal with this place,

966
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: I'm gona start scrubbing everything about the NFL, like off

967
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: of off of all my social media seeing if that

968
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, I feel like if I

969
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: did that, the NFL would be like whatever, man, We'll

970
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 1: just high. But you know, I feel like it wouldn't

971
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: work the same for me, Tyler. But whatever. So he

972
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,280
Speaker 1: gets his new contract and it comes out on Tuesday.

973
00:47:56,400 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: That part of the contract is that it requires him

974
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,720
Speaker 1: each week to do four hours of quote independent study

975
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: before each game. Uh. And part of that is he

976
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: has to be studied. He can't have the TV on

977
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: in the background. He can't be playing video games. I mean, basically,

978
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 1: like the Cardinals are doing to Kyler what my parents

979
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 1: did to me exactly when I was like twelve, right,

980
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 1: Like that's what right, you know, like do your homework.

981
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: That's basically what the Cardinals are doing to Kyler. Um.

982
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 1: There's been plenty of talk about, you know, is this

983
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: a good look? What this means for Kylie? What this

984
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: means for the Cardinals? Like whatever, I don't care, Like

985
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: as long as he shows have been play as well,

986
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 1: I don't really care how much film he's watching. Um,

987
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: but it didn't make me think. Is there a thing

988
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: like either in your work life or in your personal life,

989
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,680
Speaker 1: maybe one of both where in order for you to

990
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: actually do it, like you would have to have it,

991
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, in a contract with you, Like would you

992
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: like if there's something at the house where you and

993
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 1: your wife were, you just like she'd have to put

994
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: it in writing to like make you do that or

995
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 1: something that works, Like I'm curious about that. Yeah, so

996
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 1: I know my wife's watching, so she's gonna get a

997
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: kick out of this. It needs me in the marriage

998
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: clause that I have to do the dishes, load the dishwasher,

999
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: and actually hit start on the dishwa I'm that guy.

1000
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: I'll load it, Like, Okay, I'll do the dishes, I'll

1001
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: load it, but we'll start it. It's there for a

1002
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: day and it smells everyone. I'm sorry, I'm working on it.

1003
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:35,280
Speaker 1: That's funny. I will say. My thing is, I don't mind.

1004
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 1: I don't mind doing laundry. I don't even mind folding laundry.

1005
00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:43,479
Speaker 1: It's putting laundry away is the thing that I would

1006
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 1: have to you know that that I would have to

1007
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: have contracted. And I need a clause on that because

1008
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: otherwise I don't even mind folding because I can sit

1009
00:49:50,239 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: there like watch TV is unfolding laundry, Like that's not

1010
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: really a big deal, but then kids are it will

1011
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,359
Speaker 1: like just sit in the basket or or the other

1012
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: part is like I'll just I'll just sit it on

1013
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 1: the edge of the bed, right And I know that

1014
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: people always say if you sit it on the bed,

1015
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 1: that forces you to like move it and put it away, Like, no,

1016
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't. I just I just try not to put

1017
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: my feet down to that portion of the bed when

1018
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 1: I like, I just try to, you know, maneuver my

1019
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 1: legs and feet away from that. I'll just like I'll

1020
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: sleep on a diagonal if it means I don't have

1021
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,919
Speaker 1: uh So, yeah, that's the that's the thing I would say,

1022
00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: like work wise, like doing kicker rankings, and I'm sorry,

1023
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry all the folks out Like, I know there

1024
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,840
Speaker 1: are people out there who kicker stuff. I know Linda

1025
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: does a great job with it. I know you know, yes,

1026
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 1: Dinny Carters a great job with kicker stuff. Um, And

1027
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 1: like your work is valuable and I respect it and

1028
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. But like when I have to sit

1029
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,600
Speaker 1: down and do kicker rankings, either before the season or

1030
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: in season, like it does make me question my life choices.

1031
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: What am I doing? It does, like you know, because

1032
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: like I get maybe like three or four guys, I'm like, okay,

1033
00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: and then the rest of them am like I don't know.

1034
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,000
Speaker 1: I can just throw the names up in the air

1035
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: and just have them come down in the order and right,

1036
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: That's how I feel about it. And I say, this

1037
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 1: is somebody who doesn't want to get kickers out of fantasy,

1038
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: like I think they belong in fantasy. I just don't

1039
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 1: want to have to rank them, that's all, because are

1040
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: people too. I just don't want to have to rank them.

1041
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,799
Speaker 1: That's my only beef, um until like if they put

1042
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,560
Speaker 1: that in contract, then that that might have to be

1043
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: a thing. All right, You appreciate you stopping by. Uh

1044
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: I know you said you're going to You're going to
