1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: Wow, Hey there, everybody is Friday, February eleven two. Welcome 2 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, where we've been practicing 3 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: our dance moves for the halftime show. I'm Marcus Grant 4 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: alongside Michael f florial producer Justin Is at the controls. 5 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: We are here on Radio Row at the l A 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: Convention Center, just a couple of days before Super Bowl 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: fifty six. And uh, it's kinda been fun. Man. We 8 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: had a chance to talk to some players. Will probably 9 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,279 Speaker 1: roll some of those interviews in the future. It's been 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,919 Speaker 1: a good day so far. It's been a really good 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 1: It's just a good time. I mean, we we've seen 12 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: people that we know from the internet but not getting 13 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: really haven't met in person. It's it's just a cool time. 14 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: We know all, you know, the football world kind of 15 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,919 Speaker 1: meets in one spot. Absolutely. It's it's been a good 16 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,960 Speaker 1: time down here in Los Angeles and what has been 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: an unseasonably warm week. In fact, I think I heard 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: they're anticipating that this could be the hottest Super Bowl 19 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: on record when it kicks off. The the expected temperature 20 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: kickoff is gonna be around eighty five degrees. That's so fun. 21 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 1: You think that's an advantage for the Rams. Uh No, 22 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: not really. I think it's an advantage for everybody. Like 23 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: I think everybody likes playing in warm weather versus cold. 24 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: The real winner are the fans, Yes, because you could 25 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: go there and like shorts if you want, you don't, 26 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: you're not freezing the whole time. You'll be freezing, you know. 27 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 1: I remember just talking to players, especially payers who aren't 28 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: who didn't grow up in cold weather cities. They're like, yeah, 29 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 1: they don't. We don't love playing in the cold like 30 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: I might have got, you know, I might have been 31 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: drafted to Green Bay, but I'm from California, Like I don't. 32 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: I know that's a big thing in baseball, Like some 33 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: people struggle to go from like the warm to the cold. 34 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: I remember that happening a couple of times. But in 35 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: football you don't really here. I mean, in football, they 36 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: don't even like to wear sleeves when it's cold. Right, 37 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: So I don't know. We'll see, but it's gonna be warm. 38 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: It's been warm, always should be warm. On Sunday, of course, 39 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: we will talk some super Bowl on this show. We'll 40 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: talk some props, will give you our DFS lineup, for 41 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: the game as well. But first I want to start 42 00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: uh with some of the big topics of week our 43 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: last year, we didn't talk so much about some of 44 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: the recent coaching hires, but there have been a few 45 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: head coaches that have been picked up. Dennis Allen now 46 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: your head coach with the Saints after being their defensive coordinator. 47 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: Lovey Smith gets promoted to be the head coach of 48 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Doug Peterson back as a head coach 49 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: in the NFL, he's with the Jaguars. Mike McDaniel goes 50 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: from being the forty Niners offensive coordinator to now the 51 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: head coach in Miami for the Dolphins. Wanted to talk 52 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 1: specifically about a couple of those guys. First off, Doug Peterson, 53 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: being an offensive guy, won a Super Bowl in Philadelphia. 54 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: Now down in Jacksonville. Obviously, the number one priority is 55 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: building up Trevor Lawrence to be the franchise quarterback. Do 56 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: you think he is the right guy for Lawrence? There? 57 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: I do. I think he was a really good higher 58 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: not that he's one of these like up and coming, 59 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: like you know, super like sharp offensive minds. Not not 60 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: taking anything away from Doug Peterson, but I think what 61 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: he brings the most is what the Jaguars were in 62 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: need of, and that's stability. Like there was none of 63 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 1: that in Trevor Lawrence's rookie year. I mean, he was 64 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: dealt a really bad hand in his first season. Plus 65 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's gotten the most out of quarterbacks before, Like 66 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz's best year we was an m VP candidate, 67 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: came under Peterson. He had Nick Foles playing great. After that, 68 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts played well under him. So I do think 69 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: it's a really good higher specifically for Trevor Lawrence. And 70 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: I think that was I think that had to be 71 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: the thing that shot con in the front office. We're 72 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: looking at when they were making this higher. Is because 73 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: they know they've they've already wasted a year of Trevor Lawrence. 74 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: They can't waste anymore, and so they bring in a 75 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: guy that, as you mentioned, has had success with quarterbacks. UM. 76 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the Super Bowl winning aspect of it 77 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,480 Speaker 1: is nice. The Jags are long way from there right now. UM, 78 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: But a guy that they think can build up Trevor 79 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: Lawrence I think had to be priority. And I do 80 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: think Peterson's the guy to kind of get that going 81 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: in the right direction, so curiously sort of how that works. 82 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: Similarly with Mike McDaniel, right, obviously had a great year 83 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: with the Niners offense. Uh, you know, you can sort 84 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: of argue what you want about Jimmy Garoppolo. Fact is, 85 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: the forty Niners got to the NFC Championship Game. They 86 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: were one quarter away potentially from being in the Super Bowl. 87 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: I don't really want to think about that, but it's 88 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: a similar situation in Miami to a Tonga Violoa. Still 89 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: questions as to whether or not he can be the 90 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: franchise guy. Uh, you know, after seeing Mike McDaniel run 91 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 1: the Niner offense for one year, do we think he 92 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: is that guy to maybe take two it to the 93 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: next level. I think that, I mean, he has the 94 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: better best chance of really, like, who else are they 95 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: going to go out that we would feel better about. 96 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: That's my thing, and I actually I feel pretty confident 97 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: in Mike McDaniel. I know some people might say, well, 98 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: it was Kyle shanahan running the show there, but like 99 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: McDaniel has been working under Kyle Shanahan for over a 100 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 1: decade now, so I'm sure he has a super strong 101 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 1: grasp and a lot of influence on that offense. Plus 102 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: the forty Niners offense is one that one historically is 103 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: going to run through the run game. I expect to 104 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: see that a lot in my mean, and also for 105 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: years there they leave the league in like percentage of 106 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: yards passing yards that come after the catch, So we 107 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: didn't see the quarterbacks in San Francisco get acts to 108 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,359 Speaker 1: do a whole lot. And I think that could work 109 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: if they set up a similar system for two of 110 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: like just get Jalen Waddle the ball in space and 111 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: stuff and be creative and getting your play your playmakers 112 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: the ball and don't ask Trevor to a tongue of 113 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: blower to have to do it all. And I think 114 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: that's what we'll see. I think there are a couple 115 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: of things that worked in San Francisco that could work 116 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: in Miami. One of them, as you mentioned, is getting 117 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 1: the ball to Jalen Waddle in space, letting him be athletics, 118 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 1: seeing what he can do after the catch. The other 119 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: part is the play action game, and that is the 120 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: where you saw Jimmy Garoppolo really excel is when he 121 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: was play action, when it was just a straight drop back, 122 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: you could get a little bit dicey, but you get 123 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: that play action game involved, and things were a lot better. 124 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: And I think if you can do that with two 125 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: of with the wide receivers they have in that offense, 126 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: I think you really do have something there. So I'm 127 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 1: very curious to see what Mike McDaniel puts in. You 128 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: talk about the running game being so effective there, uh 129 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 1: in San Francisco and look similar to Miami, right Like, 130 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: they don't have necessarily a big time running back that 131 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: you can just lean on. Maybe they had somebody in 132 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: free agency, who knows. But even with the pieces they have, 133 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: if you can be creative in the running game, I 134 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: think you can get something done there. I I think 135 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: it's I mean, we're getting ahead of ourselves, But like 136 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: Raheem Mostar or Jeff Wilson Jr. Makes so much sense 137 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: to just follow McDaniel and head over to Miami. But 138 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: I agree, I think the running game is going to 139 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: be the strength of that offense. Maybe I think it'll 140 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 1: look a little bit different because of personnel and McDaniel 141 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: want to put his own spin on things, but I'm 142 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 1: anticipating a lot of the stuff that they ran in 143 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: San fran which is one of the hardest offenses to stopped. 144 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: And trust me, I played against the Niners multiple times 145 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: in Madden. It is infuriating just watching them run all 146 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: over you. But it's hard to stop because it's so unpredictable. 147 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: And I expect a lot of that in Miami now. 148 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: So we will see these these new head coaches and 149 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 1: a lot of different places. I'm sure we'll talk more 150 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: about it as the off season goes along, and especially 151 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: as start to put their staffs in place and we 152 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: see what they got. But those are some of the 153 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: big names there, and and curious to see what it 154 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 1: means for some of these young quarterbacks. In Atlanta. UH, 155 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: they've got an older quarterback in Matt Ryan, and there 156 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: has been some talk lately that maybe they start to 157 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: move on and maybe they look for somebody else to 158 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: be the franchise quarterback. But on top of it, UH 159 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 1: still questions about Calvin Ridley's future in Atlanta now. Recently, 160 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: owner Arthur Blank said he would love for Ridley to 161 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: stay in Atlanta. UH. He also acknowledged that, you know, 162 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: he doesn't know what the future is gonna be for 163 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, but you know, certainly there's been talk that 164 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: maybe the Falcons are looking for his successor sooner rather 165 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: than later. Um. Yeah, let's let's just play hypotheticals here, right. 166 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: Let's say Calvin Ridley decides he's not coming back or 167 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: he's not coming back to Atlanta. Let's say they decide 168 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: to move on from Matt Ryan and find another quarterback. Uh, 169 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts sort of becomes the elephant in the room 170 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: in this conversation. Is this good or bad? Uh? You know, 171 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: if if he doesn't have two other key pieces that 172 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 1: offense there next year. To me, the quarterback is the 173 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 1: obviously like the the big one because if he has 174 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan and say they lose Calvin Ridley but bring 175 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: in someone uh to to be their wide receiver one, 176 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be too worried there. But if we're going 177 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: with like a rookie quarterback or something like that, then 178 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: I think you have to start to be concerns because 179 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: there's gonna be growing pains there. Naturally. But we've already 180 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: seen a half of season or so of Kyle Pitts 181 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: without uh Calvin Ridley, and I know it wasn't We 182 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 1: can make the case that Kyle Pitts season wasn't as 183 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: good as we wanted to be. I think he was amazing, 184 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: and I'm all about getting Kyle Pitts on my team 185 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: next season. But we've already seen him without Calvin Ridley. 186 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: We haven't seen him without Matt Ryan. So to me, 187 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: that becomes the the more worrisome one of the two. 188 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think that's the question is 189 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: who's going to be the quarterback? And look, who knows. 190 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: We could get to August and it's still Matt Ryan. 191 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: That would not be completely surprising. It would be equally 192 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: unsurprising though, if the Falcons went out and drafted somebody 193 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: to bring somebody else in. Now, keep in mind, this 194 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: is not considered a great quarterback draft class, so that 195 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: might be something to to think about, especially if you're 196 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,559 Speaker 1: the Falcons and you're looking to make that move. But um, yeah, 197 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts is the He's sort of the big question 198 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 1: mark right now in that offense. Um do we think 199 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: about Cordiono Patterson? I feel like this year, for look, 200 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: I love CP. He had a great year. I drafted 201 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: in a couple of places and I certainly took advantage 202 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,479 Speaker 1: of it, But I also feel like nobody is expecting 203 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: this to happen again next year with him. I'm not, 204 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: and and he was amazing like you said, but we 205 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: also kind of saw him fall off as the year 206 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: went on, so maybe the workload was just too much 207 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: for him. I think that they should, you know, bring 208 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: him back and have him be a big part of 209 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: that offense again. But putting up like weekly RB one 210 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: numbers like he was this year, I won't be able 211 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: to pay that prices if that is anywhere close to 212 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: what it costs to get him in fantasy. I think 213 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna be thinking like we are. Though, 214 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: I'll say, though, Calvin Ridley, I'm a hundred percent buying 215 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: back in on. I'll take the discount that we're gonna get. 216 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: It's not like he's coming off of an injury or 217 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: anything like that. So what there he's playing for Atlanta 218 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: or elsewhere. We know how talented he is, and I 219 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: think we'll get him at a discount next year. Do 220 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: you think he's playing for Atlanta next year? I think 221 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: he's going to get a fresh start somewhere else. That's 222 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: just a feeling I'm getting, right, I mean, I'm with you. 223 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: We have no you know, no indication one way or another. 224 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,840 Speaker 1: It's just it is just a gut feeling at this point. Um, 225 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: So I I hesitated to put this in here, but 226 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: I I did anyway. Uh, Kyler Murray, somebody pointed out 227 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 1: that on Instagram he scrubbed all the mentions of the Cardinals, 228 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: took out all the photos that had anything to do 229 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: with the Cardinals. Uh, he is a Cardinal free zone 230 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 1: in social media right now. I am sort of amazed 231 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: and kind of disturbed by the people who go in 232 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: and scout the sort of thing. I I don't really 233 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: get it, but to the point that even Larry Fitzgerald 234 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: has sort of weighed in on this, talking about he 235 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: hopes that the two sides can kind of come to 236 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: some sort of agreement. But it's a quick, quick game 237 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: of hype train or smoke screen. Marcus, sorry to jump in. 238 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: Did you see on Friday the Cardinal's official team accounts 239 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: grew up their entire Instagram page except for two photos 240 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: of Kyler Murray. So this is like a whole nine 241 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: game thing. We have no idea what's going on. It 242 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: feels like high school, like what is happening right now. 243 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: You want to delete us, We're gonna delete everything. But 244 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: you know that the truth of the matter is, aren't 245 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: they unveiling new uniforms in like a week? Oh so 246 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: you think it's this is building up hype for that, right, Like, yeah, 247 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 1: he's deleting all the old uniforms and now he's got that. 248 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: That's what I think it is because he guys like 249 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, hype trainer, smoke screen. Kyler won't be 250 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: in Arizona next season, but he just had his best year. 251 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: They made the playoffs, Like why would he want out? 252 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: And then my favorite thing was when he did it, 253 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: people were like, is he gonna go play baseball? You 254 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: think he wants to go in the minor leagues and 255 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: be riding on, you know, the minor league baseball life. 256 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,319 Speaker 1: You think he wants to give up the NFL life 257 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: for that? Uh, not to mention and and you and 258 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: I have talked about this privately. Look, and I grew 259 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: up in the Bay Area. I was an Oakland A's 260 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: fan for real as a kid. Uh, It's tough to 261 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: be an ACE fan nowadays because they don't really keep guys. 262 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: But also I feel like what he makes now, it's 263 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: probably more than what the A's payroll as a whole 264 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 1: is going to be next season. Um, I know that 265 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about Aaron Donald chasing you 266 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: down twice a year if you're playing for the A's, 267 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: But I don't know. I feel like this is a 268 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,600 Speaker 1: better deal for I mean, we're seeing quarterbacks routinely ask 269 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: for over forty million now. There's no way the A's 270 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: can even get close to that. The A's aren't playing 271 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: their whole roster for so, yeah, he's not. Maybe maybe 272 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: he's like I want out. I I don't really believe that. 273 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: But there's no chance he's playing baseball. I can't imagine that. Although, 274 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: like I said in my my friendly text chain, uh, 275 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: there are some Bay Area folks and some some you know, 276 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: part time A's fans, and that that topic did come up, 277 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: then maybe he was gonna Unlike he's not. He's not playing. 278 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: What's more likely to happen for the Bay Area You 279 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,319 Speaker 1: get Kyler Murray playing baseball or Tom Brady comes out 280 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 1: of retirement to quarterbacks for the Fort Brady. I think 281 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: so too. Brady Brady is more like and I don't 282 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: think that's very likely at all, but it's more likely 283 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: than Tyler going to play for the Aids. I can't. 284 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: I think if something happens to Trey Lance and like 285 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: training camp or whatever, like that's all we're gonna hear. 286 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: And honestly, I think Tom Brady would answer that call 287 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: because you guys are a super Bowl winning team. You 288 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: just need to go. They just need to need the quarterback. 289 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: The quarterback. That's kind of the thing that was holding 290 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: them back. And look, Tom could say he took his 291 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: hometown team to a super Bowl championship. Uh, it's a 292 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: match made in heaven. Do you think if that happens, 293 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 1: like Jimmy g just hates Tom Brady, Um, probably I 294 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: would probably like you got me out to kick out 295 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: of Boston, Now you get me kicked out of here. 296 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know there's that that quote about 297 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,839 Speaker 1: you know, Tom saying that a team that he was 298 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: interested in a team in free agency and they were 299 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: gonna stick with their guy, and the quote was you're 300 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: sticking with this bleep. Um. I don't know. There's strong 301 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: speculation that it was the guy in San Francisco that 302 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: I forgot about that quote and all of that happening. 303 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: That makes so much sense to that's the speculation, no proof, 304 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: just guessing. Maybe you guys win a ring, if that, 305 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: if that else, who knows. All right, let's take you 306 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 1: a quick break.

And you know, you 336 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: get there, don't matter how you get there, and those 337 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: guys have to be some very good football teams. And 338 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: they did talk about Joe a little bit because I mean, 339 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: you know, he transferred from Aisle State, came to you 340 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: guys at l s U as a guy who I 341 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: won't say he was an afterthought, but he definitely was 342 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: not on the radar. What was it about Joe, uh 343 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: that kind of stood out to you that they kind 344 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 1: of made him the player he is. First of all, 345 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: we needed a quarterback, and uh, you know, the transfer 346 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: portal was available. He was a graduate transfer. We had 347 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 1: a coach on on my staff named Bill Bush, and 348 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: I talked to him about Joe Burrow and here's what 349 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 1: he told me. He says, coach, if we get Joe 350 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: Burrow on our team, we're going to college football playoffs. 351 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: I said, go get him. Well, I think, first of all, 352 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: I said, this is a bunch, and I really made it. 353 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 1: Joe's the smartest quarterback that I've been around, and uh, 354 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: that starts everything. But he's you guys know that he's 355 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: got the in fact of man. He's tough, he's smart, 356 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: he works hard, and you can see all this stuff here. 357 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 1: It's not gonna get this head. You know. He rebounded 358 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: from the A C l are and came back and competed. 359 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: And then also he had a little knack. No, no, 360 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't to be interesting and went to have fun. 361 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: But the players believe in him, and we joke about 362 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: it a lot on on this podcast because all summer 363 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: long after Jamar Chase took that year off, there was 364 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: reports that he was struggling catching the ball and stuff 365 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: in preseason. I mean you you knowing him so well? Like, 366 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: what was that like hearing that from you? Because we 367 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: joke about it, and look how great he's been. You 368 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: know firsthand just how great he is. Well, you know, 369 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: I knew that he took a year off saw I 370 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: figured maybe he's a little nervous being in the NFL. Uh, 371 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: he had caught the ball into the year. I didn't 372 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: worry about it at all. And him and then again 373 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 1: him would be with Joe. Those guys have a tremendous 374 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 1: connection about themselves. Uh this look at this game on Sunday. 375 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 1: I mean that the Rams defensively are a good team. 376 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: They got some guys up front that can get after 377 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback a little bit. I mean Aaron Donald von Miller, 378 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 1: those guys up there. What does Joe and this offense 379 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,239 Speaker 1: have to do to be successful against them? You know, 380 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: I'm not coaching, but I go to bed every night 381 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: thinking about how we're gonna block, you know, and I'm 382 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: gonna defensive line coach. By my heart. What a great 383 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,720 Speaker 1: job that that the Rams have done getting those guys 384 00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: and they're great players, some of the best ever to play. 385 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if such a night is gonna totally 386 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: shut down that pass rush, I think that's almost impossible. 387 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: But we've gotta eliminate the negative plays, the sac pomos 388 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: and the turnovers and stuff like that that will keep you. 389 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: And I do believe that you have the double team 390 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,479 Speaker 1: those guys. That's one less guy in the route and 391 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: find Jamaar one on one and he's gotta be jail 392 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: and revs. Who one on one. So you're the Super 393 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 1: Bowl is gonna be tough, tough matchups. So the last 394 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: time we saw Joe Burrow arriving from a game, I mean, 395 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: he broke the internet with with that chain and the sweater. 396 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: Do you have any insider information of what Joe Burrow 397 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 1: is gonna be wearing Bowl? No? No, hey, I remember 398 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: when he said when he spoke that cigar down there 399 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 1: going Joe, I've never seen that part of it, and 400 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: I knew that. I knew that that was gonna be 401 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: a classic classic Momentater. You just gould tell him and 402 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: he has the inability at the right time to take 403 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: away the seriuness seriousness, have fun at b a little sismon. 404 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: So I gotta ask you about justin Jefferson to the 405 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: other one of your eyes that's coming out and doing 406 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: big things in the NFL. And I know a lot 407 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: of people said when he was drafted that he's just 408 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: a slot receiver. He's got a show that he's more 409 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: than that. Right now, I mean, what did you know? 410 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 1: What did you see about justin the kind of let 411 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: you know he was gonna be a ready a guy 412 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: for the next level. You know, Justice Hart is unbelievable, 413 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: his work ethics unbelue and he's very very competitive, does 414 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: a competitive family. Um. He was like the two thousand 415 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: two hunt player right in the country, was one a 416 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: two star. You know, it goes to show you can't 417 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: can't you gotta trust your only evaluation. He came to 418 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 1: camp and we like what he was doing. He had 419 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 1: some qualification issues, he got qualified and later in June 420 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: he came to us a Soco weather her sixty poles. 421 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: But you always started working harm So I remember as 422 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 1: Ralph could catch and he's a great athlete. Uh So 423 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: proud of them. But you know, all these young men, 424 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: I think that, uh the reason they have success is 425 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: a great character young man. And you got those two receivers. 426 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: Earl Clyde Edwards layer another one that that's from your 427 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: program and it's just thriving in the NFL. Like, what's 428 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: that like for you to to just watch them play 429 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: on Sundays now and and just pick up where they 430 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: left off. And I mean there has to be some 431 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 1: bragging on your party. I don't know about you know 432 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: this about them. It's good to see the lineage, the 433 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: good to see the process. And everyone has a different story. 434 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: And I've been a part involved in almost all the 435 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: decisions and all the practices. They all grew in different 436 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 1: ways and stuff like that. And to see them having success. 437 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: You know, they think we're talking about Clyde. Clyde that 438 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: is five seven and something. He gonna say he's five 439 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 1: a I don't know yet. You're gonna get mad at 440 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: me for saying that. But when he walks in the room, 441 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: he's six fourth. That's it and you're gonna know it. 442 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: And all those guys have something special about them. But 443 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: they all have to earn no way. None of them 444 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: are given anything. They want a chip on their shoulder, 445 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: and I think that's what makes it great. So for you, 446 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: what what is next for coach oh and Jordas super Bowl. 447 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna smocus he hey, but you know what, 448 00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: I'm just thinking it one day at the time.

You're 450 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 1: doing some things that that I haven't got a chance 451 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 1: to do. But I'm gonna do something next year. I 452 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: don't know what it's gonna be. What is football? What 453 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: is something else? But I'm not sitting at home not 454 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: working on data. Well, coach, we appreciate your time, your 455 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: best of luck to you in your future. I know 456 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna be excited watching your guys play and enjoy 457 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: the game this week. All right, thanks, thank you, Thanks 458 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: so much to coach at Orgeron for stopping buy and 459 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be a proud moment for him 460 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: watching some of his guys in the super Bowl on Sunday. 461 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: So it feels like an easy transition to get into 462 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 1: some of these Some of these super Bowl props, uh, 463 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: I kind of pull these from our friends over a 464 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: draft kings. Uh. A handful of them that are game 465 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 1: related and kind of fun. A handful that are not 466 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: necessarily game related but it could be kind of interesting. 467 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 1: Let's start with the aforementioned Joe Burrow. Uh. Draft Kings 468 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: right now has his projection at two hundred and seventy 469 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: four and a half yard. Uh, what is your passing 470 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: projection for Joe Burrow in this one? I think he's 471 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: gonna top two hundred and seventy five passing yards. I 472 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if the top three hundred in this 473 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 1: game because I think this is gonna be a game 474 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: where the Bengals might struggle to establish the run. I'm 475 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 1: expecting it to be a little bit of a back 476 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: and forth offensive game. I know the Rams D line 477 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,440 Speaker 1: can make life very tough, but we've already seen Joe 478 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: Burrow be able to put up good stats despite the fact, 479 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: like the Titans acton nine times and he still put 480 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: up good numbers. So I think that you know, he'll 481 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 1: be taking some shots down field. It to Chase and 482 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: too Higgins. I think he has a pretty good game 483 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: passing wise. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm thinking three hundred 484 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: yards for Joe Burrow in this one because for the 485 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 1: reasons you mentioned, I don't know that, Uh, there's gonna 486 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: be a lot of room for Joe Mixon to run 487 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: the football in this one. Those guys up front. I 488 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: mean you heard uh coach George Ron talking about trying 489 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: to block ninety nine and trying to block forty and 490 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: and trying to maybe double team those guys. I think 491 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: that's gonna be a tough battle for the Bengals upfront 492 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: all day long. So that maybe a tough day for 493 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: Joe x in, which means we see a little bit 494 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 1: more from Joe Burrow. So if we're expecting big things 495 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: from Joe Burrow, let's look at the receiving yards for 496 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase. The draft Kings got that at seventy nine 497 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 1: and a half. Your projection for for Chase's receiving yards, 498 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: I'm thinking he tops eighty. I wouldn't be surprisedly top 499 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: the hundred in this one. I don't think he's gonna 500 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: have a game where he's racking up like eight, nine, 501 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,439 Speaker 1: ten catches something like that, but it wouldn't surprise me 502 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: if he has like four or five catches for like 503 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 1: ninety yards a hundred yards something like that. Because of 504 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: what he does, I expect them to take a lot 505 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: of shots down field with him, especially if he's getting 506 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 1: one on one coverage with Jalen Ramsey. Because as good 507 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: as Ramsey is, Jamar Chase is very good in his 508 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: own right. So I think if you see one on one, 509 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: regardless of who the defender is, Burrow is gonna be like, 510 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: I need to take some shots to Chase here. Yeah, 511 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go around eighty nine yards for 512 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: for Jamaar Chase in this one. And I think it 513 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 1: could be a situation where he hits one big play, 514 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: especially and you're right if he is locked up on 515 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey. Um, that doesn't mean you're gonna get a 516 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: ton of catches necessarily, but if he can break loose 517 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: for one big play, I think that's certainly impacts of 518 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: total Do you think we see Ramsey shadow Chase because 519 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: they don't usually shadow him, And if he doesn't, I 520 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: mean the Bengals have to get creative with him. But 521 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: if he shadows him, that's tough. Yeah. I would be 522 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: surprised if he does. Um, I know, I think he's 523 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 1: kind of said that he wants Jamaar Chase like he 524 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: wants that battle. Um look at it would be a 525 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: fun battle to watch between the two of them, But 526 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna be the case. I think 527 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see Ramsey kind of where he 528 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: normally is, and when Chase lines up there, then we'll 529 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: see the two. And he has to be on one 530 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: of Chaser Higgins every play, though, I would think, like 531 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: he can't be on anyone else. Yeah, I wouldn't imagine. 532 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: I mean, maybe they put him on Tyler Boyd, but 533 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 1: I don't I don't really see that. I don't see 534 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: why they would. It has to be on the They 535 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: have two big playmakers in that offense, and that's that's 536 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: where you're gonna want Jalen Ramsey to be. All Right, 537 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 1: let's look at some touchdown projection projections fort Matthew Stafford. 538 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: It's actually, uh not strange, I guess, but the draft 539 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: Kings has both Burrow and Stafford at one and a half. 540 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: So let's let's look at Stafford. Though, uh, where where 541 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 1: are you with his touchdowns? For this one? I think 542 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: he throws two, potentially even three touchdowns in this game. 543 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: I mean, they got through forty in the regular season. 544 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: I know Tom Brady kind of overshadows that, but he 545 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 1: was second in the league in touchdown passes, and the 546 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: fact that they have three running backs kind of shows 547 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: you that they don't have one. I don't know if 548 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: they trust any of them enough when they get into 549 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 1: the red zoner near pay dirt. So I think that 550 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna get Matthew Stafford throwing the ball quite a 551 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: bit in this in this matchup. Yeah, and that's what 552 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: think you brought it up to. UM, Darrell Henderson is 553 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: going to be available for this game. Tyler Higbee was 554 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: placed on injured reserve, so he's not gonna be available 555 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: for the Rams in this one. Instead, it will be 556 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 1: Darrell Henderson. So that means they will have cam Akers, Sony, Michelle, 557 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: and Henderson all available. But I'm gonna say Cooper Cup 558 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: get mother. Matthew Stafford has two touchdown passes in this one. 559 00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: Uh maybe one to Cooper Cup, maybe one to who 560 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 1: knows Odell, Maybe Odell Bill Dell gets to get the 561 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: Super Bowl touchdown. That would be fun. That would be 562 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: interesting if he he gets a touchdown the Super Bowl. Uh, 563 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: So let's got to Cooper Cup. Though UM projected receptions 564 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: for Cooper Cup DraftKings has it at eight and a half. Um, 565 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: does he does he get more or less in your projections? 566 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: That's a big number. I feel weird going against Cooper Cup. 567 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: I think I would go less than eight and a 568 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 1: half catches because I think he has a big game. 569 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 1: I think he tops a hundred yards. I think he 570 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:32,120 Speaker 1: scores a touchdown, maybe two. But nine catches is a lot. 571 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: And I know he's he's done in a bunch this year, 572 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: and I know every game he's got double digit targets. 573 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: But they're clearly gonna be game planning on trying to 574 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: limit Cooper Cup. So I think he still has a 575 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: big game, but I think he it comes with like 576 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: on a big play, not like you know, he's just 577 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: torching them all game long. See I'm gonna go, I'm 578 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: gonna go the other way. I think he gets double 579 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: digit catches in this one. And I think what you're 580 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: gonna see early on is the Rams just trying to 581 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: get the ball in his hands someway or another that 582 00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: maybe they're not trying to push it downfield early on. 583 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a lot of underneath stuff, a lot of 584 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: intermediate stuff, just to get him involved in the flow 585 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: of the game. Uh and then maybe later if they 586 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: can find somewhere to to maybe pop a few passes downfield. 587 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: I think we see that a little bit, but I 588 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: do think I think he's gonna catch a lot of 589 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 1: passes in this one. I think he may be in 590 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: the running for m v P. I don't know if 591 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: he wins it, but he you know, maybe the kind 592 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,239 Speaker 1: of situation where we're talking fourth quarter and we're like, 593 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: Cooper up might be in the in the run for it. 594 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 1: He should have won the regular season m v P 595 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: in my opinion, if I had a vote, I would 596 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: have voted for Cooper Cup. But uh, super Bowl MVP 597 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: definitely on the table, for which he got Offensive Player 598 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: of the Year, which feels like the consolation prize. He 599 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 1: was one of three finalists four and which I guess 600 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: is just cooler because when's the last time of receiver 601 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 1: was even a finalist for him v It's been a while, 602 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: but yeah, I feel like because it's become a quarterback award, 603 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 1: it's like m VP is like the best quarterback, and 604 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 1: then we'll give Offensive Player of the Year to like 605 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: somebody else, and then I feel bad because our boy 606 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 1: Johnson Taylor is left without right exactly. So it kind 607 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 1: of sucks for for non quarterbacks in the league. Um, okay, 608 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: last game related one scrimmage yards for Joe Mixing. DraftKings 609 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 1: has it at ninety two and a half. We both 610 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: talked about how it might be tough for them to 611 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: establish the run. I suspect you may be going under there. 612 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with with the under there, because, uh, 613 00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: the established the run, like the Ram strength is their 614 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,639 Speaker 1: D line. The Bengals weaknesses their O line, so that 615 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: right there doesn't help Joe Mixon. And then my original 616 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: thinking was, like they have been throwing him the ball more. 617 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: Maybe we get a lot of dump offs, but the 618 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: Bengals are in a team that is gonna pepper, you know, 619 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: just a whole bunch of little screen passes or anything 620 00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: like that. They're trying to take their shots down deep. 621 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: And we've seen mix and have fifty yard catches already. 622 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: But I'm not confident he gets one of those in 623 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. So because of that, I'll say less 624 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 1: less than now. I'm with you on that one too. 625 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: I think he gets fewer. I just don't think he's 626 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 1: gonna run the ball effectively. And on top of it, 627 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: they're really mixing against some J. P. Ryan mixing in. Yeah, 628 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: Ryan is getting some love in the passing game too, 629 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: so maybe that takes a couple of targets away from him. Um, So, 630 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: I I don't think we're gonna get a huge game 631 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: out of Joe Mixon and this one, so I'm gonna 632 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,479 Speaker 1: go less there too. All right, here's some of the 633 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: the non gameplay ones, the old standby coin toss. You're 634 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: going heads or tails? Heads because everyone says tales never fails, 635 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 1: but tales failed the Bills against the Chiefs, and tales 636 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: failed the Bengals against the Chiefs, so tails have been 637 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 1: failing all playoffs. Give me heads. I'm gonna I'm gonna 638 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with this, this tried and true. I'm 639 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: gonna go with tales. Um, even though yes, it has 640 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: not worked out for a lot of teams. I'm gonna 641 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: go with that one. Will someone perform a brand new 642 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: song at halftime? Uh? I want to say yes, because 643 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: I hope that we get like a new Kendrick album 644 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: and maybe he plays something off of it. But I 645 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: don't think so. I think there's too many hits and 646 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: what do they get, like fifteen minutes between the five 647 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: of them. I think they's just And they said there 648 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 1: might be a surprise to like yeah, they're like. Dr 649 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: J was like, there might be a surprise too that 650 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: we bring out, and I'm like, fifty maybe, but I 651 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,440 Speaker 1: just think there's too many people and not enough time 652 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: for there to be a new song. Yeah. Um, I 653 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: wanted to say, here's the thing. I think the dark 654 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: Horse to do a new song is probably like eminem um. 655 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 1: I mean this is the time of year where he 656 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: normally just releases an album without saying anything. At times, 657 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: it just put he put a video out on Twitter. 658 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,239 Speaker 1: It's like, wait, I didn't know anything was happening. Um, 659 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say him that he puts out a 660 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: new song at half time, especially because we were talking 661 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 1: recently about you know, we think he plays Lose Yourself 662 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: and we couldn't think of another possible song. Yeah that 663 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 1: would work. I mean maybe like without me maybe, But 664 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: like all of his songs, I feel like are bad 665 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: for that sort of vengue, right, So maybe this is 666 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 1: a chance for him to to debut something new. It 667 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't go over very well, probably would even the 668 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: last one. And you you laughed at this, uh, because 669 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: you said this is the easiest answer of all. Will 670 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: Snoop smoke on stage? During the halftime show. Yes, yes, 671 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: it's Snoop Dogg in l A where it's legal to do. 672 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 1: It's his home city. Yes, Like like I mean I 673 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: would be surprised if he did it. Ah. Yeah, I 674 00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 1: was really trying to like do some mental gymnastics and 675 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 1: be like, well maybe even if they were like you 676 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: can't do that, He's he's going where they gonna do 677 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: pull him off the stage? No, So yeah, that's probably 678 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:34,160 Speaker 1: gonna happen. All right. So of course we've been putting 679 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: together some DFS lineups. We get a Showdown line up. 680 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: I felt we'd do a showdown lineup for the Super Bowl. 681 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 1: Uh so we get the captain that gets one and 682 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: a half times of points? Did we do the flex 683 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: players after that? So? Who did you put together for 684 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: your Showdown line up? So I went with my captain 685 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,520 Speaker 1: of Matt Stafford because I was able to save a 686 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,920 Speaker 1: little bit and and still get Cooper Cup as my 687 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 1: first flex. I wanted that stack in there, so I 688 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: went with that route just to save a little money. 689 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: And then I wanted to get Burrow as well, because 690 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: I feel like, if it's gonna be we're saying we 691 00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: think it's a lot of passing. I want both quarterbacks there. 692 00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: I couldn't get his top receiver in Chase, so I 693 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: went with Tee Higgins. Uh. And then I got the 694 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: Rams defense because even if they're giving up a lot 695 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: of points, if they're getting like eight nine sacks, it's 696 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fantasy points. And then I 697 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: had no money left. Might say this name wrong, I 698 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:27,080 Speaker 1: went with the Scow. I always messed up that name. 699 00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: It's hard for me to say. But he was up 700 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 1: six hundred bucks, so I figured, hey, maybe he gets 701 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: one target. So you actually were able to get two 702 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: quarterbacks in there. I I was not able to the 703 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: way I put my line up together, so I went 704 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 1: with Tee Higgins as the Camps because they did want 705 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: to save some money there off the top. So then 706 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,880 Speaker 1: my flexes I did go Cooper Cup because why not. Uh, 707 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow at my other flex But I was able 708 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: to get Jamaar Chase in there, so I did get that. 709 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: I did. I got the kind of the triple stack. 710 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: I guess, actually, I guess I would even deeper than 711 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 1: that if I keep going. But I got the top 712 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: two receivers in there. I did put Sony Michelle in 713 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: there just because I feel like when they get near 714 00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: the goal line, he might be the guy they go 715 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: to so you can get that rushing touchdown upside. Uh. 716 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: And then at that point I was pretty much out 717 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 1: of money too, so I went with Trent Taylor, who 718 00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: caught a two point conversion against the Chiefs in the 719 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 1: a f C Championship game. I felt like, maybe if 720 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 1: the Bengals get a little tricky decided to do something different, 721 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,600 Speaker 1: maybe it's Trent Taylor. A look, I mean, hey, if 722 00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: if Ramsey's taken away Chase or Higgins every play, maybe 723 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: I mean, hey, maybe that opens up some stuff for Taylor. 724 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: Maybe Trent Taylor ends up being a surprise player and 725 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: makes it usually one every super always one. Yeah, absolutely 726 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 1: always one. So now that we've gone through all of that, 727 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: we're getting ready to wrap this thing up. We gotta go. 728 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,520 Speaker 1: There's nothing left to do. Give me your winner, give 729 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,320 Speaker 1: me your score, and give me your m v P 730 00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 1: the winner. So for me, the score was the hardest one. 731 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: I think the Rams pull this off. I know the 732 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: Bengals are the team of destiny right now, it feels like, 733 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: but the Rams have so many uh superstars, that's such 734 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 1: key positions, Like like Donald is saying we're gonna be 735 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:04,160 Speaker 1: world champs. I think they do get the job done. 736 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: I think the m v P for the score, I'm 737 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: thinking something like twenty maybe one in that range. Um 738 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,480 Speaker 1: And I think the m v P. For me, I'm 739 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:16,439 Speaker 1: gonna say Cooper Cup. But I think it's either gonna 740 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: be Cup or Aaron Donald. Like I mean, those two 741 00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: are gonna be such difference makers on both sides of 742 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 1: the ball that whichever one makes the bigger impact late 743 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,840 Speaker 1: in the game, I think ends up winning the m 744 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: v P. Well, I'm gonna say I think this is 745 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 1: the Bengals year. I think they finally get their first 746 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 1: Super Bowl win. I say I'm gonna call it four 747 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:37,279 Speaker 1: on a on an Evan McPherson field goal, maybe not 748 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: maybe not at zero, but pretty close to the getting 749 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: that Evan McPherson kicks a field goal right at the end, 750 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow will be smoking another cigar after he 751 00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: takes home the m v P Award this year. If 752 00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 1: the Bengals win, I think Joe Burrow is locked to 753 00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: get the MD I think so, like I don't know 754 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,879 Speaker 1: how they win if he doesn't have a big game. 755 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it's possible for me. I'm worried if 756 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: I'm the Rams, I'm worried about it being close because 757 00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:02,280 Speaker 1: I think that if it's a close game, Joe Burrow's 758 00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,400 Speaker 1: money in those situations. Evan McPherson his money in those situations. 759 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 1: I think though, if it's a blowout, I think the 760 00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: Rams will be the one on that side of it. 761 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:12,239 Speaker 1: I think that's fair. I don't. I don't think the 762 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: Bengals blow out the right Yeah, I can't see that. 763 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 1: I could see it the other way being a little lopsided. 764 00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: And honestly, if I'm the Rams, I get a little 765 00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:21,840 Speaker 1: worried if I have a decent sized lead at halftime, 766 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:23,960 Speaker 1: because it feels like the Bengals that's where the Bengals 767 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: want you to be. Yeah, And I mean they had 768 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs were three scores up on them and it 769 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: just didn't matter. Uh. Sean McVeigh, if I remember correctly, 770 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: has only lost one time in his career when he's 771 00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,160 Speaker 1: been leading at halftime, and I think it was in 772 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:43,160 Speaker 1: Week eighteen. Yeah. Um, this is also an interesting matchup 773 00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: because you've got I would say student and teacher but 774 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:49,560 Speaker 1: Zach Taylor was on Sean mcveigh's staff just a couple 775 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:51,800 Speaker 1: of years ago before he got the Bengals job. And actually, 776 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: what is it. I think Zach Taylor's what thirty four 777 00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: thirty six and he is the older of the two 778 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 1: head coaches. Uh, smatch up. The Sean McVeigh coach tree. 779 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: I know it was a joke a couple of years ago, 780 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,920 Speaker 1: like anyone who's ever worked with him, for like fifteen minutes, 781 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 1: you got a head coaching job. But this pretty successful 782 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,240 Speaker 1: coaching tree. It really has worked out pretty well. I honestly, 783 00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: like you look, you go back to that Washington staff 784 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 1: when you had Kyle Shanahan and you had Matt Lafleur, 785 00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: and you had Sean mcveigh's pretty Daniel I think was 786 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,439 Speaker 1: on that staff as well. It's been a pretty successful group. 787 00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: I would say this better coaching tree than the Bill 788 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: Belichick coaching tree. Besides Mike Vybell, is there anyone who's yeah, 789 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 1: like no, hasn't worked out except for Rabel? That's a 790 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,239 Speaker 1: Coach of the Year yep, producer, justin ye man, you 791 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,239 Speaker 1: got it, you got it. Your coach was was the 792 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: coach of the Year. So there you go. That is 793 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,000 Speaker 1: our look at Super Bowl fifty six. Should be a 794 00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 1: whole lot of fun, and of course we'll talk about 795 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 1: it when it is all over. We get back to 796 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,840 Speaker 1: you next week any time now to do it for 797 00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,680 Speaker 1: this edition at the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast, a happy, 798 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: safe and healthy get facts, wear a mask, do good, 799 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: live well, enjoy the Super Bowl, and we'll talk to 800 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: you next week.
