16
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: The excitement so high, sky high? Is the excitement internally

17
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: that downstairs when I when I said it was three

18
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: shows this week, we're gonna do it, I think Mark,

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: you went really And I was just like, why would

20
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: we do that. That's where we're at right now. But listen,

21
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: fantasy is one of the most popular UH things in

22
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: the world. So we're going to talk about fantasy this week.

23
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: But just it's not gonna be the whole show of fantasy.

24
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: You just want everybody to know. In fact, we won't

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: even get to fantasy until the back end of the

26
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: three shows this week. But we will try to impart

27
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: wisdom as I know a lot of you are drafting

28
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: UH in the next couple of weeks. I mean, it's

29
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: the one week of the year that the sunshine and

30
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: the happiness is wiped off Mark Sessor's face. That's how

31
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: you know it's it's fantasy week. It is easily the

32
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: most forgettable week of my entire year. And I will happily,

33
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, I I just got corralled into today's episode.

34
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Don't assume I'll be here for the other two. How

35
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: how much of this does get tied into Mark in

36
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: terms of an ego shot that this is something that's

37
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: built around Greg Rosenthal and Chris Wesling, the guys that

38
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: ran road a world once upon a time, and you

39
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: feel as if you're being marginalized in your own parties.

40
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: I don't have any problem with magnifying the two of them.

41
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: Their their roles in the fantasy community are noted. But

42
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: the concept that I'm not that I'm just some guy

43
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: that got dropped into the show airlifted in who has

44
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 1: never watched football before, is obscene, especially when you dominated

45
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: your wife's fantasy league. That is exactly right. Another point,

46
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: he beat some accountants who thought they knew stuff stuff

47
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: about football. Alright, So to take that, that beating that

48
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: you laid at the hands of those teacher aids and

49
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: the accountants, uh, and take that and funnel it now

50
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: to the street corner. We'll we'll be checked king. Then

51
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: occasionally you can let the listeners be the judge. Who

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: are the real the real insiders around here. You've got

53
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: a plat Yeah, I'm just being very clear. I'm extremely detached.

54
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: That's I like that you're upfront about it. That's important. Yes,

55
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: we in addition to the fantasy extravaganza, we will also

56
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: touch on all the action from Saturday, sun Friday, Saturday

57
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: and Sunday in the NFL um a lot of football games.

58
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: To talk about. How many football games, I'll tell you

59
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: how many we talked about the seven games on Thursday.

60
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: Sixteen seven is nine nine divided by two is four

61
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 1: and a half. Talk about four and a half games?

62
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: Did that check out the math? Not at all. I

63
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: went too far. I don't even think you had the

64
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: correct number of games from Thursday. I think there are

65
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: six games there. Okay, so that was part of the problem.

66
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: Let me try it again. Sixteen games six discussed on Thursday.

67
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean Friday show ten shows? Excuse me? Ten games? Uh,

68
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: Friday Saturday five each? Is that right? We are? We're

69
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: recording right now. You know. I don't even know what's happening.

70
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about ten games by two one one

71
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: step too far, But I think people get it. I

72
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: got I got in the weeds a little bit. There

73
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: it happens. So yes, we'll talk about all the games

74
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: from the weekend that we didn't talk about on Friday show.

75
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm excited. Everybody get excited. Behind the glass

76
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: There he is, and there's actually somebody else behind the

77
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: glass too. Back from her sojourn, I imagine there are

78
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: many trips to Disneyland. Uh. During that time, also a

79
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: budding acting career that we'll get into at some point

80
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: because we're gonna get her back in the chair soon.

81
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: Sydney's back in there, last Sid back in the house,

82
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: but right now in the chair, still not ready to

83
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: give up the throne. The man that says, I forget

84
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: about me. I deserve to be on Mount Rushmore. The Irishman.

85
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: What's up, buddy. Sorry to disappoint all the listeners that

86
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: want to didn'ty back already, but too bad. But you

87
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: know what, something to look forward to for the people

88
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: that do not like me. Sydney. He's doing Friday Show. Wow,

89
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: how exciting, And I guess I'll tease it right now.

90
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: Wednesday Show, we'll have somebody else in the chair. Um.

91
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: We'll hold on the news though, because I don't know

92
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: if the news is out, so somebody else will be

93
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 1: in the chair. And not to mention later in this week,

94
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: because this is, after all, the third annual Fantasy Extravaganza.

95
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: Got a big fish from the fantasy community on Friday.

96
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: But that's down the road. Let's now talk about some

97
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 1: football games that occurred this weekend, and let us start

98
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: with the defending Super Bowl champions who Let's let's face it,

99
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: I mean, when John I would the decision to let

100
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: bracos Wiler go. He needed somebody to step up in

101
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: that room, quarterback room, um Mark Sanchez, Trevor Simeon, Paxton

102
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: Lynch Uh. Nobody has done it yet, and that's what

103
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: that's the issue we're dealing with in Denver right now.

104
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: They have a loaded Super Bowl ready team, but a

105
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: quarterback situation Gregg Rosenthal that remains a mess after Mark

106
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: Sanchez struggled, as did Trevor Simeon, But it will be

107
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeon that gets a Week three of the preseason start,

108
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: which usually points to who starts the season. I think

109
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense when you look at

110
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: the two preseason games from Trevor Simeon and the practice

111
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: reports that we've heard, and it was unfortunate that Simeon,

112
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,359
Speaker 1: who had a great first drive and was playing well overall,

113
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,799
Speaker 1: uh through this pick six. The thing I'd be worried

114
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: about if I was a Broncos fan that when Simeon

115
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: and Sanchez both made their first mistake, it seemed to

116
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: affect the two of them. Simeon's worst drive was right

117
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: after he threw that pick six. Sanchez, who had a

118
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: great first drive again had an eight play stretch where

119
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: he umbled twice and he almost threw two other interceptions.

120
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: So to me, it was more like Sanchez was the

121
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: big loser and Simeon was just there. Simeon the pick

122
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: six was noteworthy, but also his penchant for not testing

123
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: defenses down the field when he's got one on one

124
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: coverage with the Marys Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders and he

125
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: opts for dump offs. I think that's an issue, but

126
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: with their defense, maybe that's preferable to Sanchez's penchant for turnovers.

127
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're gonna hold off on Paxton Lynch

128
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: as they should for a certain amount of the season,

129
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: I could see all three of these quarterbacks starting. We've

130
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 1: been saying that since basically this thing kind of developed

131
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: the way they did. But I would easily go Simeon

132
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: over Sanchez. Simeon is just has a more natural throw,

133
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: like watching him is just easier on the eyes. And

134
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: I watched the seventh round pick. Yeah, he I watched

135
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: him right after Osweiler, and maybe the comparison between the

136
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: two helps Simeon On that first drive look better. Before

137
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: you're right, things started to crumble. But honestly, he he

138
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: looks better to me than brock Osweiler right now. The

139
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: only reason he was drafted at all it was because

140
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: Gary Kubiak saw some film of him and said, why,

141
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 1: this guy looks like he's got all the tools, but

142
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: I believe he had a torn a c l is

143
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: last year in college and didn't play well outside of

144
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: a game against Notre Dame. Well, this is where Sanchez's

145
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: track record kills him, I think, because at least simmey

146
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: and he's making these mistakes for the first time. I

147
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: was just about to say that, I think there's a

148
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: little like Sanchez blowed for anyone that's been covering the

149
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: game for years that you're just everyone is seeing this guy.

150
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: So he's not gonna be different. He's gonna be Mark Sanchez,

151
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: which is uh, some good but a lot of bad.

152
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: Simeon could be just as bad, if not worse, let's

153
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: face it. But at least that's you're taking a chance

154
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: on something different. You're leaving yourself open to another path.

155
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: About a little game of over under Dan, Okay, Paxton

156
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Lynch starts this year, Oh what's the over under? I'll go,

157
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: but you gotta throwout the number. I'll throwout the number

158
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: oh thirteen. Well, I'm definitely going under. I'll go under.

159
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: But had you said ten, I would have I would

160
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: have been there with you. I'll go under. I'm taking

161
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: the over. I Trevor Simmey, and I know it's a

162
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: little early to even like or not like, but I

163
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: think he has a chance to start a lot of games.

164
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: This is a great a great, great job. It's not

165
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be that hard to to look good.

166
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 1: I feel I do as a former Jets player. I

167
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 1: do feel bad for Mark Sanchez because he said it

168
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: after the game. He knows he blew this. He had

169
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: an opportunity to jump start his career with a defending

170
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl champion, but his all, his lack of ability

171
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: uh as at a starting level just um, you know

172
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: it led to his demise here on the other side

173
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: of the ball, guys, um west uh. Blaine Gabbert should

174
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: have this forty Honors job locked up, but he can't separate,

175
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: kind of leaving the door a little bit open for Kaepernick.

176
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: But Kaepernick has got to do some things first. Well, yeah,

177
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: Cab Gabbert wasn't a train wreck. He was just okay.

178
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: But I don't know it's cap do we really think

179
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: Kaepernick's gonna come back and win this after he dealt

180
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: with arm troubles and he looks like he weighs about

181
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: hunter and forty pounds right now. I don't think you

182
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: can count on Kaepernick for anything, but I don't think

183
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 1: he's been hurt by If we're talking about teams where

184
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: every quarterback is gonna get us start by not being

185
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: out there, Kaepernick is not made the same blunders that

186
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: Gabbert has Gabbert for. For all the good stuff he

187
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: showed in terms of his mobility and and they like

188
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: his speed last season, he he is oh for four

189
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: and dump offs to Carlos Hive. I mean, he's just

190
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: he can't make the simple elementary throws and a Chip

191
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: Kelly offense would allow the Red, the running game and

192
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the offense to just do what it does.

193
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's just that by not being on

194
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: the field, you're a quarterback that's helped yourself by not

195
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: being kind of part of the chaos. Up to now,

196
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: he was fine. He was finding this game gather. I mean,

197
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: they'll they'll both start eventually. I know you liked uh

198
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: Devanti Booker in this game market. I thought, Virgil Green,

199
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: I thought that was one real takeaway from this is

200
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: that version. This tight end job was wide open going

201
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: into camp. Virgil Green has won that job. He looks

202
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: pretty good and they could really use a third receiver

203
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: and he would be that there when we know Kubiak

204
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: likes to use a tight end. Virgil Green. I think

205
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: across the way, Vance McDonald is set up for his

206
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: career year for sure. I think he's saved gabbered in

207
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: the first game and he continues to get opened in

208
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 1: the last game. If you're going fantasy, you're taking Advance

209
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: McDonald over Virgil Green. Let's move on. Let's talk about

210
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney Greg Rosenthal, who looked like the guy that

211
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: the Texans thought they were getting in the first overall

212
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: pick a couple of years ago um against the New

213
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. I mean, he looked like Jadeveon Clowney. He

214
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,559
Speaker 1: he looked insane, like he just couldn't wait to get

215
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: back on the field, because if he watched his first

216
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: five snaps, all five of those snaps, he ruined the play.

217
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: He made a huge impact on which you just don't

218
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: see from defensive players. A lot now he kind of faded.

219
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: The biggest credit I could give to Clowney is I

220
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: just want to well, he just makes me want to

221
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: watch every one of his snaps. So even after Tom Savage,

222
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: if he truly exists, entered the game and there wasn't

223
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: a lot of starters in there, I just wanted to

224
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: keep watching every single Clowney snap just to see what happen.

225
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: There's a play where Clowney just absolutely destroyed Zach Street,

226
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: just bull rushed him, went right into the quarterback, and

227
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: it made me right away tweet out Gregg's making the

228
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: leap because I think that Greg nailed this one. Clowney

229
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: looked that that that changes that defense entirely. If he

230
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: gives you that over sixteen games, Street wasn't the only one.

231
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: He bull rushed Andrew's pete too, and then he just

232
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: threw Tony Hills like he wasn't even there. He's so

233
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: strong it's it's unbelievable to watch an NFL player make

234
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: other hugely strong, three pound men look so weak you

235
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: just toss them aside. You don't see NFL defensive ends

236
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: and outside linebackers doing this. But his issue is the

237
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: same as it was if he just has to stay

238
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: on the field. Even in this game, if you watch

239
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: each snap, he was dominant for the first ten snaps

240
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 1: and then he just I think he needs to get

241
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 1: his win back under him. He's not used to being

242
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: on the field so much. Hey on the Houston uh

243
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: elsewhere on the Houston side of the ball, will Fuller

244
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: instant impact guy? Yeah, they're they're rookie wide receivers. Braxton

245
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: Miller and Will Fuller are playing with the first string

246
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: offense every down and they both look good. Will Fuller,

247
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: I know people have questions about his hands, but his

248
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: speed is a difference making element. And this I think

249
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: this offense went went from one of the slowest in

250
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: the NFL to one of the They question for you

251
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: because I watched Austwiler in the passing game. Because of him,

252
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: You watch Mariota and at least seems so organized and

253
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: well studied up in that attack Uswiler to me, still

254
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: still feels like he's getting comfortable. How many third downs

255
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: is he gonna throw four or five yards short of

256
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: the stick? I mean it's it's over and over with usway.

257
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: His numbers are misleading. I agree, there's so many new

258
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: starters in this offense. He is taking forever to make

259
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: these decisions to go through his reads and and make

260
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: a throw, and that's to be expected. It's a new offense.

261
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: I think they might have ten new starters out of eleven.

262
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: I mean, that's tough to pull off ten out of eleven.

263
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: I think it's possible, or at least some of the

264
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: offensive linemen are in different positions. I think, so who

265
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: are across We're the ones that are back across the board.

266
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: Skill position. DeAndre Hopkins and Dwayne Brown would seem to

267
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: be too. Yeah. I think it was maybe the other

268
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: night because that their offensive line was so banged up.

269
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: Um Braxton Miller though, for a guy who people thought

270
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: might take a little bit, already looks like he's gonna

271
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: I want to see more chemistry though between DeAndre Hopkins

272
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 1: and Oswalder at this point. Yeah, definitely let's move on.

273
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler. Dak Prescott continues to steal the show. What

274
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: did you see from that kid? Because he made the

275
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: Miami defense look like garbage. I love what Greg wrote

276
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 1: about it in his very good write up of that

277
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: game was that you've get Tony Romo back on the field.

278
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: This is meant to be the guy that you know,

279
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: turns the whole engine for Dallas completely outshined by Dak Prescott,

280
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: and I realized it's the preseason, and I realized, you know,

281
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: he's not playing against a full host of starters and

282
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: pass rush, you know, scheming stuff. But he has looked

283
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: absolutely unbelievable. He's not afraid to be daring with the ball.

284
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: His chemistry with his whiteouts is incredible. He uses his

285
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: feet to score. I mean it's like Dallas was just

286
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: piling up yardage and points at will. I don't want

287
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: to undersell anything he's done because this is the absolute

288
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: best case scenario that anyone could have expected for any

289
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: quarterback in his first two preseas and games. But you

290
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: have to give the Cowboys coaching stay of credit. And

291
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: I've knocked them for their treatment of backup quarterbacks for years,

292
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: but they're coaching him up really smartly. You leave des

293
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: Briant m for the back shoulder throws, you put him

294
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: behind a dominant offensive line with Alf Morris running all

295
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: over the the Dolphins defense, and then you run play

296
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: action when he's got all the time in the world

297
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: to look for his wide receivers. They couldn't be coaching

298
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 1: this guy up any better. But we gotta give him.

299
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: We gotta say too. I mean this came out of

300
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: you want to talk about revelation. This is Dak Prescott

301
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: because we were just talking about after Kellen Moore broke

302
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: his collarbone, how the Cowboys blew it and this idea

303
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: that they're gonna have to go trade for somebody, and

304
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: Tony Romo's at taking time about now all of a

305
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: sudden feels like they have one of the best quarterback

306
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: situations in the league. Well, let's we should point out

307
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: though that the Cowboys did they know what they had.

308
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: They had this guy behind Kellen Moore on the depth

309
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: is wild. We're talking about this guy every week. It's

310
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: a revelation to the Cowboys. They tried to trade up

311
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: for Connor Cook, but the Raiders got Connor ag instead

312
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: of him. They tried to trade up for Paxton Lynch.

313
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: That's what happens in the NFL. Sometimes you get lucky.

314
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: David Johnson wouldn't be on the Cardinals if they didn't

315
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: get a little what part of it is, but I mean,

316
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 1: it's a preseason. But the accuracy is what's really struck me.

317
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean, every ball is in the exact right place,

318
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: and yes, he's gotten perfect protection, but you know that's

319
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: what That's what Cowboys quarterbacks get these days. That pass

320
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 1: to Bryce Butler where Butler got called for pushing off

321
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: was perfect. We had another TV. Uh. This is why

322
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: football preseason scores are misleading, Greg because the Cowboys. But

323
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: if you're a fan of the team, you saw some

324
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: good things from Ryan Tannehill. Yeah you did, and that

325
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: was good, and you have to be excited about Kenny Stills.

326
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: I think showed up and some some of the passing

327
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: game was good Tannehills, but almost every other part of

328
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: the Dolphins looked like a tire fire. I mean the

329
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: back seven, the linebackers, the secondary, really the offensive line

330
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: has a lot of questions. They lost my Pounty to

331
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: another hip injury, which is a huge problem for them.

332
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: Arian Foster. I know it's just two carries, but you

333
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: don't want to make a judgment off of two carries.

334
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: But well, actually for him, but I'm going to anyways,

335
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: you go, you wanna you want to see the you

336
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: want to see more carries out of him and see

337
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: see why. Because one of those carries was was concerning. Uh,

338
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: moving on, the New York Jets and Washington Redskins played

339
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: some football, and uh, this was a game, at least

340
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: from the Redskins side, where you get upset because Matt Jones,

341
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: they're running back, suffered a sprained a sea joint, which

342
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: is not good if you're running back. West we talked

343
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: about how shoulder injuries can really affect back and the

344
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: game we just talked about Alfred Morris, who ripped up

345
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. You wonder if that those two sides should

346
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 1: have ever parted, Alfred Morris and the Redskins and whether

347
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 1: it's possible or reunion can be had. So um Kirk

348
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: Cousins didn't play against the Jets. Uh, Colt McCoy did start,

349
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: and I guess the first possession Greg we should talk

350
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: about because not a lot of good things happened with

351
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: Durrell Reeves or with the Jets in this game. But

352
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: Durell Reeves did look good in his one series. Yeah,

353
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 1: I don't think they're is a lot. It wasn't a

354
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 1: good game for the Jets, but I didn't take a

355
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: ton from it. But all you need to do is

356
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: see a healthy derl reeves to put a smile on

357
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: your face right coming off the surgery, looking spry, making

358
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: some open field tackles, nice interception. There was a lot

359
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: of talk about some of his struggles last year and

360
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: how much uh should be attributed to getting older and

361
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: being a thirty year old cornerback, and how much could

362
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 1: be attributed to the wrist injury that required surgery. Because

363
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: his greatest skill set is his ability to rough up

364
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: guys at the line of scrimmage and within those five yards,

365
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: which you couldn't do last year. I'm wondering if we're

366
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: gonna see a nice back bounce back season revers Is

367
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: that top five type corner again? Um? And by the way,

368
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: your boy, let's take a ride on the Geno Coaster. Hey,

369
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: you know, when you're on the Geno Coast, you're gonna

370
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,400
Speaker 1: have some ups. The ups are crazy, their wild life

371
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 1: changing ups. You're gonna have some downs. In the preseason.

372
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: He's more of a big game player. He can't get

373
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: up when you when he sees Colt McCoy across the

374
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: way as a starter, he's not gonna Are we going

375
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: to get to the point Craig with Gino Smith where

376
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: you know The number one or two highlight to come

377
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: out of a Jets preseason game is Gino Smith throwing

378
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 1: a devastating interception that has the entire meadow Lands on

379
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: its feet just wanting him taken out of the city.

380
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: I mean, well, he might be. He might be almost

381
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: done with it Jets if he doesn't have a to

382
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: be all serious? Is he? If he plays poorly in

383
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: the third it's close now, He's right. He could go

384
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: from quarterback one to off the roster in a matter

385
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: of as he his interception. He threw into triple coverage

386
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: with a wide open guy underneath, which, listen, everybody messes

387
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 1: up every everywhere once in a while. But it's kind

388
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: of like the Mark Sanchez thing, and a Jet fan

389
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: went from Mark Sanchez to Gino Smith. We're kind of

390
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: you don't want to see these guys, You're sick of

391
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: them after a while. That's good because it distracts everyone

392
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: from the fact that they took a second round quarterback

393
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: that hasn't played a preseason snap. He's a project. It's

394
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 1: this weird. He's a project. He's getting red shirted. I

395
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: don't have a problem with that. Back to to the

396
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: Redskins for a second. You're right, Dan, this their backfield

397
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: has should be the worst in the league. It could.

398
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: It's definitely the most shallow in the league. Well, Nate Burlison,

399
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: for what it's worth, thought that this injury is so

400
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: minor it actually almost does him a favor that he

401
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 1: misses the next couple of preseason weeks. It's an a

402
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,719
Speaker 1: C joint sprain, which is very minor. They'll keep him

403
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: off off his feet and I'll go into the season.

404
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 1: I know you love Matt Jones, but that's not act

405
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: like he had a good rookie year. No, he had

406
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 1: a bad rookie. What I'm saying, if he if if

407
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: there's no concern that he's gonna miss week one, which

408
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: it sounds like there's not any concern, then but what

409
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: he gets banged up and you've got a much heavier

410
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 1: dose of Chris Thompson than anyone planned for. I mean,

411
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: they don't they just don't have ye don't have a

412
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: wide variety of kind of filling prospects. And I can

413
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: understand why they came to their end with Alf Morris,

414
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: but did they plan this position? Well, I mean, if

415
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 1: you're you've got Kirk Cousins, as your quarterback, you need

416
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball. How about the

417
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: Redskins fan that paid for tickets for this game and

418
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: they showed up and all like the nine best players

419
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: on the team, we're just sitting out in the second

420
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: week of the preseason. They get they got it. Never

421
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: put one of these weeks out or a preseason game,

422
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: thank you. You have to though, if you get season tickets,

423
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: that's well, you don't have to. Well, all right, that

424
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 1: in season tickets, but except them, right, if you're just

425
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: a normal fan, Hey, it's our chance to go to

426
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: a football game. You got I could come up with

427
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:06,360
Speaker 1: a hundred better things to do than a week two

428
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: preseason affair. Let's talk about Chris Westling the Arizona Cardinals,

429
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: the two thousand fifteen team of around the NFL, who

430
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: we're not looking very good on offense against the Chargers

431
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: this weekend. Yeah, I would put zero stock in that.

432
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: It's preseason. They're working on some things. We know that,

433
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: we know what their talent level is. Wouldn't you be

434
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: shocked if they're not a top five offense issue? Yes,

435
00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: I mean I would put a little more stock into

436
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: just Okay, Brandon Flowers looks better this year after being

437
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: very overweight last You want to make Flowers. They have

438
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: three cornerbacks now with Casey Hayward who made some nice

439
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: plays in that game, that can play inside and out.

440
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: I like that cornerback group. I mean by now in

441
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: this time in the preseason, I would get worried about

442
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: offenses with a lot of new players and they don't

443
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 1: look to be on the same page, or rookies not

444
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,679
Speaker 1: performing up to what you'd want. But the Cardinals are

445
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: returning every one of their school players. I don't think

446
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: this is a team that we need to be throwing

447
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: up flares for and concern. Are the Chargers better on

448
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 1: defense greg than people realize? I believe so. I think

449
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: it's a fun defense, especially if they get Joey Bosa

450
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,120
Speaker 1: back in the mix, but you expect they will at

451
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: some point. I think at every level of their defense

452
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: they have real playmakers. Casey Casey Hayward was a good signing,

453
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: and it allows them to push Flowers into the slot

454
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: after they found out last year he really struggled on

455
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: an island outside. Now they're making the leap Guy Paraman,

456
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: Denzel Paraman all over the place. He looked good right

457
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: out of the gate. Here's a guy that was never

458
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,159
Speaker 1: making him the leap, but always in my heart. Jeff Cumberland, Um,

459
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to hear the news, but he suffered a

460
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: torn achilles in this game and his first year with

461
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: San Diego done for the year, hanging their cumby, never

462
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: give up hashtag Cumby. Moving on, the Panthers and Titans

463
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: played football, and oh Mark more to get excited about

464
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 1: with Marcus Mariotta. A. I think Mariotta, you know, he

465
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: did some good things in that game. The interception was

466
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: a little bit of a four throw. He looked a

467
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: little locked in. But I think the story of the

468
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: game because if it was week one, we saw that

469
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 1: they can run the ball if they match up well.

470
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 1: In week two, it wasn't so much that I think

471
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: they wanted to show that Mariotta could make throws on

472
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: passing downs and Taj Sharp eight catches over two weeks,

473
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: six in that game in a limited amount of time.

474
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,479
Speaker 1: I mean, we're gonna talk about some players that are

475
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: underrated fantasy wise. You look at where he is a

476
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: DP value. Give me a break, Chris Wesley, I yeah,

477
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 1: I loved how Taj Sharp looked, but My main takeaway

478
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 1: is last year that Titan set Mariota up for failure

479
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: with no running backs to run a play action offense,

480
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: boot action offense, smurf wide receivers who couldn't get open.

481
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: Now you look at the team, they're running backs from

482
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: last year will not be involved. Their wide receivers from

483
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: last year basically will not be involved. Their offensive line

484
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: is upgraded. They're setting him up for success. Now, despite

485
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: all the laughter and snark at Mike Malarkey's expense they were,

486
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: they're running a good system for developing a quarterback and

487
00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: surrounding him with all the town he needs to be success.

488
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: Think it's also a major upgrade from Rust and Webster

489
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 1: to John Robinson because in a very quick amount of time,

490
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 1: John Robinson has changed the identity of the team, and

491
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: it's through actually getting better players for this kind of

492
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: drifting draft. A high wide receiver, none of them pan out.

493
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: They found one right away and they've redone. The entire

494
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: way you think about the Titans sounds like the team

495
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: of a t West to me, Greg, the team of

496
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: West thel This is not This reputation has not been earned.

497
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: You guys railroaded me into the Chargers two years ago,

498
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 1: and then last year you all wanted the forty Niners

499
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: after week one, so you can fake me. Niners would

500
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: have been like fifth on my list, but well, you

501
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: voted for him. Let's let's go back to the tape

502
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: on that. Please do, please do, random, will you find

503
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: that tape for us? Listen, this is what I'll probably doing.

504
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: I'll probably be doing because I know what the kissing

505
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: cousins are doing here. Greg will probably get on board.

506
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: I will do the West move. I will go along

507
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: with it if we want to go with the Titans.

508
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: But if this goes up in flames, we've got I'm

509
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of fun. Well, a couple of

510
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: weeks so far, I mean we got a couple of

511
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: weeks before we have to say anything, right, Yes, the

512
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,239
Speaker 1: team of around the NFL will be selected at some

513
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: point by the end of September. I'd say any any

514
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,360
Speaker 1: later than that. Derrick Henry helps your chances. He looks

515
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: fun to watch. I really think he's gonna end up

516
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: not fun to watch on this team. De Marco Murray,

517
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna end up cutting into De Marco

518
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: more Murray more than people. Absolutely what was wrong with

519
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray. I mean, it wasn't the Week one game,

520
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: but it's fun. I guess I want to see the

521
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: regular season. The Week one game, he had one run

522
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of running backs would have

523
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: made that run. Uh, So I want to see him

524
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: in regular season. Actually, like all these guys, I mean,

525
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: it hurts to me their team of atale case that

526
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: Zach Mettenberger uh isn't there. But maybe maybe he'll be

527
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,199
Speaker 1: back because he might not even make the Chargers uh

528
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: matten Burgers be playing in a different league. Super Bowl

529
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,919
Speaker 1: twenty five rematch in Orchard Park, the Giants and Bills.

530
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: The Giants get shut out. Uh, would you never? You know, listen,

531
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: nobody cares about the results, but you just don't want

532
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: to be shut out in a preseason game because that

533
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 1: means you you failed comprehensively on every level of your roster.

534
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,400
Speaker 1: Get it together, uh, Ben McAdoo. But uh, Tyrod Taylor,

535
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 1: who you know, must be feeling good about himself right now.

536
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: The confidence high westling as he continues to look good

537
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: like a guy that you could build a team around.

538
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor does look good. That is one of my

539
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: main takeaways from the preseason and then the other side

540
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 1: of the ball. You know, I'm really enjoying these Bucky

541
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: Brooks preseason grades. Whenever you see grades, you'll see these

542
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: guys really tepid. Oh. I can't give anyone below a

543
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: C minus. That's as low as they go. Bucky Brooks

544
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: has thrown out f's for the Giants. Backup quarterback school

545
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: are abysmal, Massive and Logan Thomas. They're terrible and they

546
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: need a backup quarterback for for sixteen. Rex Ryan went

547
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: into this preseason trying to send a message. If you

548
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: watch his how his defense has played the last couple

549
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: of weeks. They have played aggressive like it's the regular season.

550
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: They've played really well. I don't know how much to

551
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: put in it or not. Maybe they're just fired up.

552
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: He does seem to have found a couple of rookies.

553
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,399
Speaker 1: We've killed him for all the rookies. He's lost a

554
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 1: Dolphus Washington and uh, who's the cornerback Seymour? Who now

555
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: is in that mix? That's a nice cornerback group. I mean,

556
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Crazier things have happened. Tyrod Taylor through

557
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: and still being good. He threw it was a fifty

558
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: nine yard connection and the arm strength and just his

559
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: ability on that throw. They found a quarterback and it's

560
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: been a long time. His deep ball was really impressive

561
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 1: last year. That was never the issue. It's what can

562
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: you do over the middle of the defense? I think

563
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: the Giants and McAdoo said it after the game. People

564
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: have been quite he said, everyone's been asking me about

565
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: the right side of our offensive line. Isn't that a

566
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 1: big problem? Because on paper it looks it looks pretty

567
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 1: terrible and he and he went out of his way

568
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 1: to say, well, how about the left side of our

569
00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: offensive line. That's not looking too good either. He's like

570
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: Eric Flowers their their first round that you want to

571
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: that point one point nine yards per carry on seventeen

572
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 1: carries for the Giants. They're they're looking at the Redskins

573
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, we can match they're backf It

574
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: was an issue last year. By the way, is Bucky

575
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: handing out any gentleman's f's. What's a gentleman's f D

576
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: minus baby? Why is that a gentleman that you know?

577
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: A nice gentleman way to give someone an F is

578
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: just to give him a D. Mind that is a

579
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,360
Speaker 1: nice way of doing that. Sometimes you need to wake

580
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: up call with a full f fair fair moving on

581
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,640
Speaker 1: Baltimore in Indianapolis. Andrew Luck. Oh yeah, who wants stuck

582
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: on Andrew Luck? Who you know, he didn't tear it up,

583
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: but uh oh and I do love this new this

584
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: thing on NFL dot com where they're charting or the

585
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: they're offering video recaps of every single throw. I watched

586
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: that this morning. Uh and uh you can also check

587
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: out the highlights of every Cairo Santos kick that's available

588
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 1: that's available on NFL dot com right now. Who hasn't

589
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: already done that? All three of his field goals? There

590
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: you go, besides a tremendous blitz pick up by Frank Gore. Uh.

591
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, Andrew Luck was looking pretty good. He was

592
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: looking good. He was looking great. I know, he got

593
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: very fired up. He just looked like Andrew Luck, which

594
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: is the most important thing. That his arm looked good.

595
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah you're laughing about just throw out the Greg for

596
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 1: every game when I try to throw it to you guys,

597
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: nobody took it. Just now, that's all right? Uh, Andrew Luck,

598
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: I thought compared to last year, and he was so

599
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: frenetic in the pocket, and he wasn't making all the

600
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: throws he made in the past. In this game, he

601
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: was way more under control. He looked sharp was the

602
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: word I would use. He was under control. And then

603
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: the sideline out that he threw, I'm not sure he

604
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: makes that pass right, that was the one. Yeah, and

605
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,080
Speaker 1: in Dorsets making a few more routes than he was

606
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: running last. They're gonna need to score points though this defense.

607
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's all right, we're two weeks in, but

608
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: watching the Ravens make plays down field and it was

609
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: Chuck Fagano came out today and said the secondary a

610
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: little scary, and he's not wrong. I mean, on the

611
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: first touch tomar can touchdown, there's two Cults defensive backs

612
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: just colliding with each other and he's completely left alone

613
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: for the catch. I mean, gotta get your But they're

614
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,239
Speaker 1: missing there's they're missing their two starters, they're missing their

615
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: first right, so they're they're they're a bad defense. I

616
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: think they're one of the most talent poor defenses. And

617
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 1: they're injured. So we thought the front seven was going

618
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: to be their biggest issue. Where's the pass rush? And

619
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: now they can't cover anyone either. Hey, the Terence West

620
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: hype trains rolling pretty hard this summer. But why is

621
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: he third on their depth chart in uh Baltimore right now?

622
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: I think that's respect out of Justin for towards Justin

623
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: for set, like the one thing about Terence West, and

624
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: you know West charts not about respect or anything. I

625
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 1: think with for Set that it very much is. That

626
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: would be my guest. But I don't think there's any

627
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: guarantee that he's higher in week one. I don't think

628
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: anyone knows what they're gonna do. Kenneth Dixon, I think

629
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: I know is the numbers, and I think it looks

630
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: great too. They have four guys who are kind of

631
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: close in value. I would say West is second on

632
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: the depth chart for early down runs and then Buck

633
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: Allen is the passing down back. I think that's the

634
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: way it's going in Baltimore. He's gonna see the field.

635
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: I mean, Sarace Wentz to me looks like a different

636
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 1: human being, like he went on like Craig's list and

637
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: found someone else to be him and be faster and

638
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: more plugged in than him, because it does not physically

639
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: look like the human being and was on the Cleveland

640
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: Browns at all. It's possible. I'm saying it's right. I'm

641
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: looking into this because it seems not just possible. What

642
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: if you tried to get someone off at craigslisting you

643
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 1: ended up getting Trent Richardson. Well, you probably don't have

644
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: a lot to pick from. But I watched a Forensic

645
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: files yesterday where they they iced some dude that looked

646
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: like another dude. They who's they these two guys who

647
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: it's a conspiracy for murder? And then uh got the

648
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: life insurance money of the guy that actually survived, faked

649
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: his own death, and then they went off to Rio together.

650
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: That's a great plan. I don't know that ties into

651
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: the Terence West thing at all, but so you think

652
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: the old Terence West might be might be living somewhere. Okay,

653
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: now let's pace it together. Terrence West found a guy

654
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: that a much better football player, and uh, the deal

655
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: was worked out. I'll let you be an NFL star.

656
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: Uh the catches when you signed the big contract. I

657
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: get the contract. See you, I'm going to Fiji. This

658
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: is Baltimore. It sounds like an episode of the Wire. Yeah,

659
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: maybe maybe I have been a completely different version of

660
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal for nine months now, you guys didn't even

661
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: know that we know you. We've been calling you the

662
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: new Greg, the new Greg Party, Greg Party, Greg who

663
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: sits near us again by the way, in another Sorg

664
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: in the old news room. For the forty seven time

665
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 1: in the past five years, we have moved all our seats.

666
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 1: Greg back with us, back back with the crew. It's nice,

667
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,160
Speaker 1: it's nice to have you back. Welcome back, Greg, Thank you.

668
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: Moving on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Jacksonville Jaguars battle

669
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: for Florida. That's what they're calling it across the universe. Uh,

670
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: Blake Bortles looks good, His offensive line looks good. Everything

671
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: about the Jacksonville Jaguars looks great. Right West, I think

672
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: he looks He looks more mature and more at ease

673
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: running every part of this offense this year, and I

674
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: think the Jaguars offense is gonna be lights out this year.

675
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: They look phenomenal. I mean, Bordos has held that title

676
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: of the most wow plays per snap for me for

677
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,800
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for the last certainly the last year, and this

678
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: preseason game was a good example. I mean, his best

679
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: throw might have been one that was incomplete on the sidelines.

680
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: They ruled out of bounds. I believe and he he's insane.

681
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: It's weird you're talking about records. They're oh and two.

682
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 1: And I think they've been the most impressive team in

683
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: the preseason because they've had the most encouraging things. Jalen

684
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: Ramsey looks fully healthy and good, said, dark Marks looks

685
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 1: fully healthy and good. The offense, the starting offense has,

686
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, is healthy and loaded. Chris Chris Ivory was

687
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: one of the best free agent pickups because yelled in

688
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: could not do it alone. But the way that they're

689
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: using yelled in two and when they get into kind

690
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: of a flow with play calling and they set it

691
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: up with their passing games, suddenly Chris Ivey's running over

692
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: you for eighteen yards. There's not a weak spot here

693
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: if they can't have a newcomer come in and steal

694
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: a show, as that woman, as that fine woman pointed out,

695
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: she's saying Chris Ivory can't just come in and steal

696
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: the show. That's why they're splitting the work that way. Yeah,

697
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: we say not to get too carried away for the preseason,

698
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: but we always do. No, we do, and ill before

699
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 1: we look at again, like I'm considering I was. I

700
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: was thinking I'm picking the Colts all year, and now

701
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,359
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, why was I picking the Colts. I'm gonna

702
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 1: pick the Jaggar and they're trying to be cute and

703
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: they're gonna split Chris Ivey's reps in a best case scenary.

704
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: T J yelled and he'll still wear down in November

705
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be awesome though for two months, enjoy

706
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: it. It It is true. There's like preseason I'm gonna run

707
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 1: with my pants on fire, Chris Ivory, and then there's

708
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: late November. You have a podcast where were you review

709
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: every preseason game. You don't have a choice but to

710
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: overrate the alright, go ahead, Greg, answer to that? What

711
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: what's just? That? Got nothing? And poor Roberto Guayo not

712
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 1: own poor I got billions of dollars in a second

713
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: round draft slot. I feel for because it's not his

714
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: fault that that he went in the second round. And

715
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 1: now he obviously it's in his head a little bit.

716
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: He's missed I think three kicks in two games. Uh,

717
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: and all three of those are shorter than any kick

718
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: he missed in college. Yeah, I believe and it's just

719
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,160
Speaker 1: two things. It again reminds you there there's no real

720
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: automatic kicker. A lot of that is a mental game.

721
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: And to use a second round pick, maybe he does

722
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: straighten himself out as the best kicker in the league

723
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 1: or is a Pro Bowl level kicker for a decade,

724
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: but that's the only way that pick makes sense. He

725
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: needs to be a star in the star for many years.

726
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: I have a recommendation for our listeners. The best thing

727
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: I've ever read on kickers is a Michael Lewis article

728
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: from The New York Times. It's called The Kick Is Up,

729
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 1: and it's a career killer, and it's about the mental

730
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 1: rigors of being a kicker in the NFL and exactly

731
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: what you're talking about, yips. It's a fantastic article. It's

732
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: a scary gig. Well, don't you think you're already a

733
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: person that is seen as an outsider not really part

734
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: of the team a lot of times unless you kind

735
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: of have a different, quirky kicker personality. And then you

736
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: get off to a start where everyone's already saying, WHOA,

737
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: this team overvalued you. Picking you with a second round pick,

738
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 1: could have got it to defensive tackle someone else and

739
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: then you start missing kicks all over the place. Talk

740
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: about I mean, you're in your own little alien world

741
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,280
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how to you know, redeem yourself.

742
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: The same thing as being like in an official or

743
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: referee or an umpire. You don't get noticed unless you

744
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,280
Speaker 1: suck at your job. Very few guys get really praise

745
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: unless you're Gregg the Legs Airline well a lot of

746
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 1: praise and Adam Vinitary is one of the mentally toughest

747
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: kickers in the history of the league, which is why

748
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 1: he's been around for twenty years. And we'll be a

749
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame candidate, but it's he was a great

750
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: high school athlete, so I'm not diminishing his talent, but

751
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: his mental strength is what has set him apart. And

752
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: he's a good example. We go to the Super Bowl

753
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 1: against the Panthers. He missed a kick, got another kick blocked,

754
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: and the game on the line. What does he do,

755
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,560
Speaker 1: Greg He hits it. He also hits it when Bill

756
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: Parcelves tells him, Uh, you know, if you don't, if

757
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: you don't hit some kicks this next week, you're gonna

758
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: get cut. No, no, if you don't make this kick,

759
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: was right, before it was his rookie season only, yeah

760
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: and Parcels and he already missed like two short kicks

761
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: and Parcels said, hey, kid, you missed his kick. You're

762
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 1: asked done. That's why you don't spend a second round

763
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: pick on a kick. It's funny because like Parcels gets

764
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: to take credit in some way for that. Now that's

765
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 1: part of this. It's like he could have easily just

766
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: missed the kick and then Parcels would be stupid. Well

767
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: that's not how it works, you know. But yeah, we

768
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: give Parcels because he did plenty of other things. But

769
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,479
Speaker 1: that's not like Parcels the genius, but it does speak

770
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: to the toughness of your boy. Um. And finally the

771
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: Chiefs and l A Rams and another packed house at

772
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:41,479
Speaker 1: the coliseum. Two fumbles in the first two possessions mark

773
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,360
Speaker 1: for uh Jared Goff. Uh. He is not going to

774
00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: start in week one, is he? I mean, the second

775
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,439
Speaker 1: fumble was a little bit strange, but the first one

776
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: was a flat out turnover. And he does not look

777
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: ready to me at all. He still makes the occasional

778
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: throw like he did in week one where you're thinking, yes,

779
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: he certainly he's going to be there at some point.

780
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 1: But you know, the Rams, they saw this a lot

781
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: sooner than anyone else did, and they seem prime to

782
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: have him sit for a bit. And I have no

783
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: problem with that based on what we've seen. Well, I

784
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: I was working with Kevin Patrick Saturday night and he

785
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: was charged with watching this game. And afterwards, you know,

786
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: we have to write an article on Jared Goff because

787
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 1: he's the number one overall pick. How did he play?

788
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: And Patrick said, how many different words can you use

789
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: to say one sentence? He's not ready. He's got the

790
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 1: physical gifts, but he's just not ready. I mean, his

791
00:38:29,840 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 1: first four drives, third team plays twenty four yards, he's

792
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: not moving the ball. We're watching other rookies and they're

793
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: in a better situation than Jared Goff is moved the

794
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: ball up and down the and then he does do

795
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: it when he gets in with the deep reserves against

796
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: the deep reserves. That's been the case in both of

797
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: these games where he's finished off better than he's uh

798
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: not in both of these games, rather in this game, Um,

799
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 1: and he's the guy I'd be more concerned in both

800
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: games when he hasn't gotten them lined up for the scrimmage.

801
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 1: A couple of times. He's taken delay at games in

802
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: both of those, and I think that's Kevin's point that

803
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: he's just I mean, it's not a reason to patting it.

804
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 1: Just you, Okay, we get it. Now, he needs time.

805
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: The Chief's offense looked much more effective to me. He's

806
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: Kingdom scored three touchdowns and four drives for what it's worked.

807
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: But he's given them every reason to start him, which

808
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: is nice of it. I mean, he made it. Have

809
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: confidence in him. Do you want to Greg one more time?

810
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: Act out the discussion between coach and center about how

811
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: to take a snap properly in the NFL. I mean,

812
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: no one's asked for it again, but I'll do it anyways. Alright, Okay, Hey,

813
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna stick his nut. Go on, You're okay, That's

814
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: what I told him. Get it in there, let him

815
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,000
Speaker 1: feel it that that's a little deep, give him some

816
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: more pressure. That was unsettling, I added the appart the Greg.

817
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: The Greg role play there for some reason unsettled me. Well,

818
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: it's because I get really deep into the character. I

819
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,280
Speaker 1: got into his motivation, how he was, how he was feeling.

820
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: Greg's definitely method yeah. Um, all right, it is time

821
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: to begin the third annual Around the NFL Podcast, and

822
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 1: today we will be talking about In the first of

823
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,400
Speaker 1: three parts, we will talk about a little bit of

824
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: a seg Well, let me start this way first. I

825
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: want to I want to introduce everybody. Alright, First up,

826
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 1: do we have an applause drop or anything like that? Okay, alright,

827
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: first I didn't say to use it yet, I was

828
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: just asking for was I just figured it? What use it? Then?

829
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: Tell you? Uh, Sydney's like, I don't even want to

830
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: get back in that chair. The look of fear in

831
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 1: your eyes right now to my right, now, Sydney can

832
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: handle it. To my right is Greg Rosenthal, who has

833
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: run Around the NFL. Since this is an old bio copy,

834
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: you don't run the show anymore. I don't think we've

835
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,080
Speaker 1: changed that. And Greg Rosenthal used to run the Around

836
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: the NFL team, uh, starting in two thousand thirteen, including

837
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 1: his role on the Around the NFL podcast. Do you

838
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,960
Speaker 1: have a role? I think that's true. He previously spent

839
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: nine years covering the NFL for NBC Sports, Rodal World

840
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,920
Speaker 1: dot Com and Pro Football dot Com. Ladies and Gentlemen,

841
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal, Thank you to my left. Here's a man

842
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: that joint NFL media two thousand thirteen. He covered the

843
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: league for six seasons as a writer for NBC Sports

844
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,919
Speaker 1: dot Com and a senior NFL editor at Rhoda World

845
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: dot Com. Senior editor Man Chris Wesley. Here's here's the

846
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: full truth. I gave myself that title senior football editor.

847
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:37,919
Speaker 1: No one ever gave it to me. I was just like, oh, yeah,

848
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 1: that's what I am. Good nugget. And then finally Marks here,

849
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: I you know what I cannot wait for next Monday.

850
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: This is the most absurd thing I've ever seen. I'll

851
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 1: play along with your little charade. What to listen? He

852
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: could have given you the applause drop there. I didn't

853
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: tell him that. I guarantee if I were to go

854
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,280
Speaker 1: on your instant messaging candidate, it's please don't play applause

855
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: for when I give Mark one second intro. Actually it

856
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: wasn't to be. This is perfect. It just strokes Gregg's

857
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: ego and more strokes west is to keep him in

858
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: a good mood, keep it going. That actually is good

859
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: instincts from Irish because I did not tell I don't

860
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: believe a word coming out of Alan's mouth anymore. I

861
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: like this because sometimes you know, when Mark gets worked

862
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: up and I almost feel like, um, you know, he

863
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: adds a little extra for the show. You know, it's showtime,

864
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: but I feel like this one he's under playing how

865
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: much he hates it. Uh. You know, listen, we've got

866
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 1: about You've got the rest of this show another thirty minutes,

867
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: five minutes, two more shows to get through. Not sure

868
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: I'll be there for all of them. I don't care.

869
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: Here we go, all right, So today we're going to

870
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: talk about the segment will be called a DP insanity.

871
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 1: I don't know sound good. You know there's a lot

872
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,759
Speaker 1: of fantasy podcasts out there. Um, we're trying to do

873
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: something different. So I rhymed a DP and insanity, So

874
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,760
Speaker 1: right off the top, I feel like we're a different space.

875
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: I don't see anyone else doing that. And by the way,

876

883
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,080
Speaker 1: even though he's younger, you seem like he's almost like

884

00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 1: Rotor World brick by brick, and you can see the

899
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: callouses on Greg's hands from it. Um, we're gonna talk

900
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 1: about some a DP insanity. Uh. And we're gonna focus

901
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: on running backs and wide receivers right now, and uh,

902
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:31,320

904
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: soon onto the fantasy corner Mark Sessler's fantasy corner and

905
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,319

Speaker 1: take it wherever you want some a DP insanity. Well,

909
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: I think we should go over guys who are underrated

910
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: and overrated. All right, let's start with somebody that is underrated, underrated?

911
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna start. How about with the player

912
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 1: towards the top, Devanta Freeman. We mentioned him earlier in

913
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: the off season. This was my big one too. And

914
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: if you're going in the first two rounds, I'm talking

915
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: that that premium level running back DeVante Freeman is one

916
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: of the few guys up there I'd rather have than

917
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: a lot of these top receivers who are safer safer beds.

918
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: How is this boggles my mind? Lamar Miller a DP

919
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 1: higher than DeVonta Freeman, and DeVonta Freeman is only a

920
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 1: few places above mark Ingram who has never had a

921
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: thousand yards season, never had ten touchdowns in a season.

922
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman dred yards thereabouts last year's seventy three receptions,

923
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,800
Speaker 1: number one fantasy back and is awesome in the red zone.

924
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: He is one of the best red zone running backs

925
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,160
Speaker 1: there is as a receiver and a running back. There's

926
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 1: no downside to DeVonta Freeman. Can I throw? And I'm

927
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 1: just a regular dude. I'm no expert. You know I didn't.

928
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: I didn't work in HTML and physical brick to build

929
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: a fantasy giant. But I will say two things. DeVante

930
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,239
Speaker 1: Freeman kind of a little bit of a twel of

931
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: two seasons right production wise last season, so maybe some

932
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: people were spook by a slower second half. By the way,

933
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: most players in the NFL have a tale of two seasons. Well,

934
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: his was maybe more exaggerated than others. And then a

935
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 1: Lamar Miller. The reason why Lamar Miller is going before

936
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: him because sometimes you gotta look into the future and

937
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: see the guy that's going to make that leap. Oh

938
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:19,879
Speaker 1: superstar status, here we come. Lamar Miller seventeen hundred total

939
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: yards in twelve touch I looked into the future and

940
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: saw running back who's never been a workhorse, and they

941
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,240
Speaker 1: pound him into the ground and he's injured by October.

942
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: I like Lamar Miller. I like Atlanta's running game better,

943
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: and the fact that they're going to be in a

944
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: second year with that zone scheme usually takes a minute

945
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: to to get that up and running as effective as

946
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 1: it was last year. Everyone's worried about Tevin Coleman. It's like,

947
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: just don't worry about the off season. You know, Rhoda

948
00:46:42,840 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: World is great. But one of the things I found

949
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: at road where people overrated some of our blurbs sometimes

950
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: that you know, the coaches say Tevin Coleman is gonna

951
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 1: be in the mixed trust. Who is a better player?

952
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: By the way, that same coach in the same paragraph

953
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: said he expects a better season. How to DeVonta Freeman

954
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: this year than last year? West Give us somebody else

955
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:03,879
Speaker 1: that's underrated? Uh. Where Carlos Hide is on this a DP.

956
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: I believe he is early fourth round. Behind DeMarco Murray,

957
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: who's got a major Derrick Henry problem. Behind Lettavius Murray

958
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: who's just not very good. Behind Thomas Rowles, who I

959
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: love but has a Christen Michael problem. I would take

960
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,720
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide a full round higher than early fourth round.

961
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 1: I think part of that I had Hide on the

962
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: low list too. Am I allowed to say something here? Absolutely?

963
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: Do we want to go to the corner? Let's go

964
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 1: to it? Well, but my corner issue is completely different.

965
00:47:32,680 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: You are you came over here? You know what. I'll

966
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: retract my comment. Are you on the corner or not?

967
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: Right now? Okay, not on the corner ahead? No, I

968
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: guess I think part of it is this, Some of

969
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: this a d P business has got to be behind

970
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 1: the times because Kristen Michael's sitting down at number forty five,

971
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: well out of running backs. But we're taking the data

972
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 1: from actually the last few days. And I was commenting

973
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: to west i Bet two weeks ago. At this time

974
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't even on the board. So to them, it's

975
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: a tenth round pick. They see him as a as

976
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: a backup, uh, and that's why he's in the I

977
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 1: don't think it's behind the times. A Hide, though, to me,

978
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,759
Speaker 1: seems low also because if people are watching preseason games

979
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 1: and you're watching the Niners offense, there's not a lot

980
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 1: to like. But Hide is gonna get a ton of

981
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: touches and if Gabbert ever can connect with him in

982
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 1: the passing game, he might cat some passes to Alright,

983
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 1: how about an overrated running back, greg uh in terms

984
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: of ADP, Well, Dion Lewis was overrated before he got injured.

985
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: We didn't have time to mention his injury, you know,

986
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 1: in the news. But he's gonna be out for a while.

987
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: So don't draft the on Louis. It was a little

988
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: crazy that getting taken in the fifth round anyways, And

989
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: don't draft his backup, James White. I think everyone will

990
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,240
Speaker 1: just kind of plug James White in there, and here's

991
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: a fun sleeper. I just would stay away from it.

992
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: They're they're gonna drive you crazy. That's far West. Jeremy Langford,

993
00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:54,120
Speaker 1: who got a lot of big publicity. He's four fourth round,

994
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 1: ninth pick in this a DP, so late fourth round.

995
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: You're drafting him as a running back, a strong run

996
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:02,960
Speaker 1: back too, because he had one good series against the

997
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: Patriots in the second preseason game. This guy average the

998
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: worst yards after contact of any running back in the

999
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,200
Speaker 1: NFL last year. He's just not that good. I mean,

1000
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: he's not that great. I'd rather just draft players that

1001
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: are that are good? Thank you. People get so worked

1002
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 1: about the situation, like Rashad Jennings is in a good situation,

1003
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 1: so he's getting overdrafted even at the beginning of the

1004
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 1: seventh threat. I just don't want to deal with it

1005
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: because you can find a great quarterback or a great

1006
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,160
Speaker 1: tight end or a great wide receiver there and just

1007
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: draft players that have more potential than that. Um. By

1008
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 1: the way, Arian Foster, I gotta throw in there is

1009
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,680
Speaker 1: the well insane overdrafted person in this entire boo. If

1010
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: you're just talking about where his talent level is right now,

1011
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: that's fine, but you have to throw in his injury

1012
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: history as well. It's outrageous that he's getting taken in

1013
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: the fifth round. So people are drafting taking Aryan Foster

1014
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 1: without a chance of actually watching him play and be healthy.

1015
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: Yet that's the ways to draft, tell you in leagues,

1016
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: because you take advantage of guys that really don't know.

1017
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: People are drafted Arian Foster over Larry Fitzgerald. Let's now

1018
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: before we move on to the wide receiver discussion, gentlemen,

1019
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: let's now take our first stroll over to a different

1020
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 1: area of the fantasy realm. Well, listen, I mean, okay, Okay,

1021
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:21,760
Speaker 1: there you go. This is I'm out on the corner,

1022
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 1: Sessler's fantasy corner. I gave you a list of players

1023
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: last year to completely ignore, and I was ten for

1024
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 1: ten without question, ten for ten, and I'm gonna lock

1025
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 1: it down with ten running backs to avoid in fantasy circles.

1026
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 1: Just don't go near these guys. Number one, Bronson Edward

1027
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 1: o Hill, number two, Ali Rufus, number three, Ike Saturn,

1028
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 1: number four, Pope Troy Mayne, number five, Penny Elijah number six.

1029
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: Don't go near this guy, Cameron Stingley, number seven, Marshawn Coprich,

1030
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 1: number eight, Robert Otto b three, number nine, Taj Stingley Spiner,

1031
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 1: and number ten. Last running back you don't go near.

1032
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 1: I don't care what's happening, Tom Animal Sphinx wo there

1033
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: is one Bastingley Spiner related distingly, I was gonna say

1034
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 1: last year, that's a bad brother combo. Last year West

1035
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 1: did point out one of the names you listed. He said,

1036
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: you got to actually keep your eye on that. I

1037
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: got another one. You got another one. His name is

1038
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,480
Speaker 1: Troy Mayne. Pope not Pope, Troy me okay, and he

1039
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: really good. Late in the second preseason game for the Seahawks.

1040
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: I know they have a depth chart. They're stacked, but

1041
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: I would say keep an eye on I just mal

1042
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: bad energy around him right now. I'm not saying his

1043
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: career is doomed, but you don't go near him yet

1044
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:48,960
Speaker 1: right now. So as you can tell West by the

1045
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,760
Speaker 1: ambient noise. Right now, you're no longer in your cushy

1046
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: little off fantasy office. You're on the streets. I know,

1047
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,839
Speaker 1: and I'm not as good there as Marcus. Yeah, Mark

1048
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 1: lives on the streets. He speaks from the streets. It's

1049
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: in his heart, it's in his picture. He picks up hitchhikers,

1050
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: anything else. Mark on the fantasy not on that position. Okay,

1051
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna come back to you, and yes, just let

1052
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,959
Speaker 1: when we now talk about the wide receivers, you feel

1053
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,920
Speaker 1: free to come in off the corner, but just let

1054
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:13,319
Speaker 1: me know if you're on or off that, I'll let

1055
00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: you know. Make sure. Okay, should we should we throw

1056
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 1: out rapid fire any quick? Last one back. I mean,

1057
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like this is gonna be our rat.

1058
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: It's it's hard for me. Alright, rapid Fire one minute,

1059
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna set the timer rapid fire. Go who's going first?

1060
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 1: These running backs are too low right now? A mirror Abdullah,

1061
00:52:36,960 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews, Derrick Henry, Kristen Michael, and Terence West. I.

1062
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: I totally agree with Derrick Henry. I throw Matt Jones

1063
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:46,879
Speaker 1: in there, Indre'll knock him downs is way too high,

1064
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon, I would throw in their Carlos II, Geo

1065
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: Bernard and then the deep one Spencer were if you're

1066
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: looking for a really deep one. Kenneth Dixon and DeVante Booker. Wow,

1067
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: nice speed round. Guys didn't even need half a minute.

1068
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 1: Let's go overrated players too that you want to stay

1069
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: away from. I love Jonathan Stewart, but I don't want

1070
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 1: to draft Jonathan Stewart this this year. I think last

1071
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: year was the year that you want Jonathan Stewart. I

1072
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: pretty much mentioned everyone else. I think stay away from

1073
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 1: Justin for Sett and the rest of those running backs

1074
00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 1: in Baltiore. Yeah, I think we hit all of them.

1075
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,439
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray is is overrated because of Derrick Henry. Matt

1076
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: Jones is overrated. The guys. The guy is not very

1077
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: good to begin with. He's three down back that'll probably

1078
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: get taken in the sixth or seventh round. Back down

1079
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: back who average three point four yards per carry with

1080
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,360
Speaker 1: major fumbling issues last year, and I question his instincts.

1081
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die on this one quick question. I know

1082
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 1: everyone is just saying, no, take Ezekiel Elliott with the

1083
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:39,680
Speaker 1: number one or number two pick, have a nice stay

1084
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 1: with it. Is there any concern that there are other

1085
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: more proven players to take for your first pick in

1086
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: your draft. I have zero concern with Ezekiel elle. I

1087
00:53:48,480 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 1: would generally rather take the wide receivers that are getting

1088
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,399
Speaker 1: taken there. But I don't think he's ranked two low

1089
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: at running back like I'd rather have him than Lamar

1090
00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 1: Miller who's getting taken in front of him. Absolutely stop it.

1091
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: Tavious Murray a little overrated in my throw that guy

1092
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,319
Speaker 1: out there, all right, Let's now move on to the

1093
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: wide receivers. A DP insanity. See how it rhymes. Let

1094
00:54:10,600 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 1: me start with a doozy here. We need some sort

1095
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: of we need some sort of drop with the a

1096
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: DP insanity. I think that's an assign Okay for maybe

1097
00:54:17,600 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: for Wednesday, start special guest on Wednesday, you have to

1098
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,399
Speaker 1: really step it up. Wow, that's a great call go ahead, West,

1099
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 1: Let's start this off with a banger. Alright. DeAndre Hopkins

1100
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 1: one interesting eighth pick in the first round ahead of

1101
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant who looks fully healthy. And des Bryant, I'm sorry,

1102
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 1: is a better receiver than DeAndre Hoppens. Wow, West turning

1103
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 1: his back on DeAndre Hopkins. I love Hick Hopkins, but

1104
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 1: let's talk about this from a fantasy point of view.

1105
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: Last year, they have nobody on the other side of him,

1106
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: so they had to throw it to him every time.

1107
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 1: Now they've got Will Fuller, they got Braxton Miller, They're

1108
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 1: generating touches for Braxton Miller, the offensive coordinator is and

1109
00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: they've got a stronger running game than they had last year. Dylan,

1110
00:54:59,560 --> 00:55:01,880
Speaker 1: of your how and simply isn't gonna be targeted like

1111
00:55:01,880 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 1: he was last year. Not to mention he's got a

1112
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 1: new quarterback. And you already mentioned how about the rapport

1113
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: between brock ost Wilder and Hopkins is not there yet

1114
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: over underpassing year. It's Texans this year to last year.

1115
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it's necessarily going up, and it's certainly

1116
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: gonna be cut in more. Uh in a few more parts.

1117
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,479
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, I agree, I like a J Green

1118
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: to have a really big Aja Green season. He's getting

1119
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: drafted after him, and then Allen Robinson, who's after Hopkins,

1120
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: is another guy who would expect to have a monster year.

1121
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: I would take Robinson after what we've seen in the

1122
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: preseason so far, and him and Blake Bortles absolutely on

1123
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,040
Speaker 1: the same period in the corner. I'm on a corner

1124
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: this time, but I would take Robinson over Hopkins for

1125
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:39,360
Speaker 1: everything you mentioned. It's like it's got to be a

1126
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: Texans coaching you know, need and want to have a

1127
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:44,840
Speaker 1: little bit less of the offense have to go to

1128
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 1: Hopkins over and over week after week. See, while we're

1129
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: while we're near the the top of the draft, I'm

1130
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: gonna throw out some love for Keenan Allen I'm a

1131
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: little surprised is going late second, right, I mean, that's

1132
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 1: not a crazy undervalued guy. But I think in general,

1133
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:00,320
Speaker 1: I am of the mind and this is become a

1134
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 1: trendier thing to do that most of these receivers are

1135
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: better bets than the running backs getting taken in the

1136
00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: first three rounds. Damarius Thomas is another guy. Why is

1137
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: everyone so freaked out about the quarterback situation in Denver

1138
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: for Damarius Thomas, it's not gonna be worse than last

1139
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:16,319
Speaker 1: year Keenan just not overall yards and he was a

1140
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: monster last year despite all the drops. Can I throw

1141
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: something out there with that? Damarius Thomas one of those

1142
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: guys that isn't really a fun guy to have on

1143
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: your fantasy team because you don't like four I'm not

1144
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:32,600
Speaker 1: gonna go out for beers with him. I agree totally.

1145
00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,879
Speaker 1: I don't know why Mike Evans is getting drafted ahead

1146
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,799
Speaker 1: of him. That's ridiculous. Jordy Nelson is too risky to

1147
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 1: take over Keenan Allen this year. Keenan Allen would have

1148
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: led the NFL and targets last year, probably had he

1149
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,760
Speaker 1: not gotten injured. I'm stunned that Jordy Nelson is getting

1150
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: taken in the middle of the second round. It's a risk.

1151
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: I mean that, that seems crazy. He's someone where the

1152
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: preseason of matter if he played this week and he

1153
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: looks awesome, great, but he's thirty one years old coming

1154
00:56:56,560 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: off tourn a c L. This is much lower and

1155
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: it's not a taken too high area. But you're telling

1156
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,480
Speaker 1: me that Dorial Green Beckham is at sixty one and

1157
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 1: Taj Sharp's at sixty. Hell's going on? Now, You're right,

1158
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: one made the other expendable. And by the way, they're

1159
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:12,879
Speaker 1: saying that Josh Gordon, who's suspended for the first four games,

1160
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 1: is an absolute off the field wild card, is a

1161
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: spot more valuable than Larry Fitzgerald. Ridiculous. Well that that

1162
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: is one of the most overrated guys on this entire list,

1163
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon. And it's not like a ranking. This is

1164
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 1: where they're they're going on average Josh Gordon sixth round.

1165
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon might not for sure be worth the sixth

1166
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: round pick if he was playing the whole season. And

1167
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: the other guy that you mentioned is one of the

1168
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: most underrated. How is Larry Fitzgerald being drafted behind these guys?

1169
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: He's coming off a great year. It's almost like Greg

1170
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: made this list. You're no, give me a break. I

1171
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 1: love Larry FitzGeralds You're right there. You're right that we

1172
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: underrate Larry Fitzgerald every year we do. We just talked

1173
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: about his splits last week. He dropped in the second

1174
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: half of the season. Oh, I'm sorry you missed the

1175
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: really important playoff game that he won almost himself. Sure, no,

1176
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 1: he had a great game, but just for that wasn't

1177
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: part of the Fantasy playoffs. I'm just saying, well, this

1178
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: is it's also a blind spot there for Kristin Michael

1179
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: because fantasy seasons are over by week sixteen, and when

1180
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: he has a good week seventeen in playoffs, nobody's watching.

1181
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: I think Fitzgerald could be a better player than a

1182
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: great fantasy player, just because, as we've talked about, there's

1183
00:58:14,880 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: so many mouths to feed there, Kelvin Bench talking about

1184
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 1: a guy with a hundred nine receptions last year. There

1185
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: were reasons for that. Guys were out good bed good

1186
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 1: h Kelvin Benjamin. Does it strike you as strange that

1187
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: he's still going in the top thirty? I have him

1188
00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 1: on my overrated least well when fungus is down at

1189
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: he and he but he literally is a guy that

1190
00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: they only played nine snaps this week because they don't

1191
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: think he can handle more. Yeah, but they rolled him

1192
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:41,760
Speaker 1: out there in the very beginning of the game and

1193
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: that thank you street corner sound effects. What's going on

1194
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: in the two seconds back? Just can I can I

1195
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 1: do it? And I love Larry Fitzgerald, but can I

1196
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 1: do a prop with you. Yes, uh, less than ninety

1197
00:58:58,240 --> 00:59:01,959
Speaker 1: catches this season, which would be like a fifteen catch

1198
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: drop off. And if you think there's no reason worried,

1199
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to prop where Larry's

1200
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald has an eighty eight catch season and I'm wrong?

1201
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: Alright eight eight? Alright again, talk about reeling in a

1202
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: fish that was master? Can we note that? Mr Irish? Okay,

1203
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: thank you, I'll take that. Seems reasonable. We will be

1204
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 1: the season starts what in two weeks? Just a reminder

1205
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: to everyone that we will will be doing our regular

1206
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 1: season uh sandwich props uh pod which is always one

1207
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: of the best pods of the year and my humble opinion,

1208
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: in the next ten fourteen days, So keep an eye

1209
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: out for that. Uh. Let's now, yes, now, let's in Earnest,

1210
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: even though he ducks his head out from uh from

1211
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: the street lamp that he leans on with the cigarettes

1212
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: rolled up in the T shirt every once in a while,

1213
00:59:52,840 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: Let's now go there in Earnest, Uh the street corner, Sessler,

1214
00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Overrated, underrated, wide receipt, Well,

1215
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: forget all that nonsense. Here are four things to do

1216
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: instead of trying to be some sort of amazing alpha

1217
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: male slash human savior who ranks wide receivers on a

1218
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: football podcast. Number one Travel to Syria and rake leaves

1219
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 1: outside a Syrian based business of your choice. Number two.

1220
01:00:17,560 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: Allow a trusted work friend to blindfold you while you

1221
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: also give him unlimited access to your checking account. Allow

1222
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: said work friend to purchase a one way bus ticket

1223
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: to anywhere in the country with the blindfold on. Allow

1224
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 1: the friend to guide you onto your designated bus. Once

1225
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: the vehicle is moving, remove the blindfold. You will go

1226
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 1: wherever your friends sent you and stay there for no

1227
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: less than twenty four months. Shedding your many layers of

1228
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 1: ego and emotional neediness to build a new life from scratch.

1229
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: Number three. Number three that could happen. Number three. Instead

1230
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: of spending the entire football season obsessed with yourself and

1231
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: your fantasy football jag, use this autumn to become important

1232
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 1: in the life of a child. Number four. Dive deep

1233
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: into Dungeons and Dragons. Dump all distractions and dive into

1234
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 1: D and D. Use important family money to fly to

1235
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: D and D conventions and become known in D and

1236
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 1: D circles as a fast riser. Put your career in

1237
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 1: personal relationships a deep second, as you allow Dungeons and

1238
01:01:18,520 --> 01:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Dragons to completely and dangerously absorb you. I love that

1239
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: last point because fantasy football and Dungeon Dragons are basically

1240
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: the same thing. Thank you. No An doesn't like that,

1241
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,920
Speaker 1: but it is. It is. You're basically just playing. But

1242
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 1: you love D n D. You literally just posted like

1243
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 1: twenty I do not love it. I find it a

1244
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:46,880
Speaker 1: truly odd part of the nineteen eighties that you enjoyed.

1245
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: I did not immerse in it. Now I will. I

1246
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:52,840
Speaker 1: get that is kind of what a D n D

1247
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: guy who you are. Let's face it, it's your your

1248
01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: history and your Instagram account would say about fantasy sports.

1249
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying, well, I think exactly the same thing.

1250
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: They're not. They're both fantasies. I don't want to get

1251
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: into the stereotypes of the D and D crowd, but uh,

1252
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: I think you should look a little closer at the

1253
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football crowd. Well, there's extremes at every sport again,

1254
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: or every phase of life. Whatever. Let's move on. Did

1255
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 1: we did we do underrated for wide receivers? We kind

1256
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: of went back and forth. Let's go out a speed

1257
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:26,440
Speaker 1: let's do a speed round. Let it rip, Let's go underrated.

1258
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Jeremy Macklin way underrated, great year last year. Locked in

1259
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: is the number one. Alex Smith is in control of

1260
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: that offense. Dante Moncrief, if he's not injured, guaranteed breakout season,

1261
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: You're gonna want him. Corey Coleman great guy to take

1262
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: a flyer on. And Mohamed Snoo is gonna touch the

1263
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: aball eighty times in the Falcons offense. Take Mohamed Snow

1264
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: even if you don't think he's a good talent, he's

1265
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 1: gonna touch the ball. That was wild to me that

1266
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 1: he's getting taken in the twelfth round. I'm not super

1267
01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:56,120
Speaker 1: high on Sinow, but that seems like easy money that late.

1268
01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,920
Speaker 1: I agree with you there, I agree uh? Or I

1269
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: believe his old he made mo Jones is underrated right now.

1270
01:03:02,240 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: I like Golden Tape, but I'm surprised he's getting taken

1271
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: a few rounds after him. Jarvis Landry has the most

1272
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: catches in NFL history in the first two years of

1273
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:10,640
Speaker 1: his career, and that offense should be better. Why is

1274
01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry going going so late? Uh? And then Stefon

1275
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: Diggs I'm kind of buying buying the stuff on Diggs

1276
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: hype as the number one guy there. I can get

1277
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: board with it. He has number one type abilities or

1278
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:22,959
Speaker 1: is he a number two? That he's a number two.

1279
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:24,960
Speaker 1: He's not a he's not an X receiver, but he

1280
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,440
Speaker 1: could put up number one numbers. I think just because

1281
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: I think they'll be a little better passing and I

1282
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: think he's the best receiver on that team by a

1283
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 1: decent amount. I wanna throw one out to all three

1284
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: of you gentlemen right now, who will be the Kristen

1285
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 1: Michael Memorial. It's funny because he could be the winner

1286
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: of this very category, even though remember Kristen Michael Memorial.

1287
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: What the hell was I thinking? Hindsight is award not.

1288
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: This is not a shot at him. This is a

1289
01:03:52,560 --> 01:03:55,440
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when he failed. Uh. Past winners

1290
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 1: and include a Quarterill Patterson. Uh, you plug in that

1291
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 1: guy in another You got sucked in by the hype

1292
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: and then you're almost embarrassed to admit it later where

1293
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: you took this guy in the draft, who is the

1294
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 1: guy that's so buzzy and everyone's confident about. But come December,

1295
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: you're really gonna be cringing when you look at your

1296
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: draft board running back or wide receiver. I don't know

1297
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: who's buzzy because I'm not really plugged in on that.

1298
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 1: But Matt Jones was the first guy I thought of. Really,

1299
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 1: you are so down on Matt Jones. I mean, Kevin

1300
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: White was the first guy that I wouldn't want to

1301
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: get anywhere near. He's like a seventh round was playing

1302
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 1: this pretty safe here, But that's that's a mid round

1303
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: pick that you're just wasting on Kevin White around guys

1304
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: like Jordan Matthews and DeVante Parker who had want much

1305
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: much more than them. But all right, let me let

1306
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: me go up throw somebody out there. Is somebody with

1307
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: a little name Lamar Miller. You want to throw Lamar

1308
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Miller ahead. That's actually a perfect example. Here's why in

1309
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: fantasy football, your first round draft pick cannot be a risk.

1310
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: He has to be a surefire guy. Lamar Miller has

1311
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:54,280
Speaker 1: never carried the load before a lot of different coaching staffs.

1312
01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:57,200
Speaker 1: It could because they're all those coaching staff were truly inept.

1313
01:04:57,840 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: That could be it, or it could be the Lamar

1314
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: Miller doesn't run well between the tackles. Isn't great and

1315
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: short yardage and might not hold up to a big workload.

1316
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: I love Lamar Miller, but that's a great example because

1317
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:10,560
Speaker 1: that could blow up in people's faces. Uh, fantasy corner,

1318
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: you got one, I do, but it's gonna be unpopular.

1319
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, that's great. I I it's not that I

1320
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 1: doubt Adrian Peterson. I I don't want him as my

1321
01:05:22,040 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm number one in the draft. I got the first pick,

1322
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: and it's been the locked in pick for years. I'm

1323
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:27,840
Speaker 1: not doing it this season. Well, let me just say

1324
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 1: the Christen Michael Award. Nobody would be shocked that you

1325
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: used your first round pick on Adrian Peterson. Though not really,

1326
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm okay, I'm trying to understand it.

1327
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: It's like a guy that you're kind of banking on

1328
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: based on the excitement that's built over the last six months.

1329
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,760
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy's on that list. Why is he this? Like

1330
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 1: after most guys after they have a terrible season do

1331
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: not go way up in terms of their average draft position.

1332
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: I'd worn Eddie Lazy on my roster, but I I'm

1333
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: with you. I'm surprised I would have to use a

1334
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,720
Speaker 1: second round pick on it like a high second round pick.

1335
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: That's wild to me. Later that's later on in this

1336
01:06:03,240 --> 01:06:05,320
Speaker 1: I don't like we're Brandon Cooks. I'm not going to

1337
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 1: jump on the Brandon Cook's experience over some of the

1338
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: people that are behind him. I agree. I forgot my

1339
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 1: almost my favorite underrated receiver of the first three rounds,

1340
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: t Y Hilton. I would I would not be surprised

1341
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: if t Y Hilton leads the league in receiving or

1342
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: is right in the mix. Would that be that surprise us?

1343
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,439
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of mouse. I think they're gonna

1344
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: be throwing the ball a ton and I think he

1345
01:06:26,680 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: has set up for a career year over Antonio Brown.

1346
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: And I mean this would obviously you're I'm talking in

1347
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 1: the sense of like he has long odds to do it,

1348
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 1: But it wouldn't shock me if he is in that mix. Okay,

1349
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: before we go, let's now check in with the Around

1350
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: the NFL podcast subreddit where they have a thread uh

1351
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:47,480
Speaker 1: and make sure you get on there if you're a

1352
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,040
Speaker 1: fan of the show. A lot of fun that subreddit

1353
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: um where they have a mail bag for fantasy questions

1354
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: for the heroes. Irish went through the bag, and this

1355
01:06:58,440 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 1: is what he got. First. One is are there any

1356
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:05,959
Speaker 1: roos from it is from my kriegel. Are there any

1357
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 1: rookie wide receivers worth drafting? High rookie wide receivers? Oh?

1358
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:15,959
Speaker 1: I got one, the Fuller kid in Houston. You're gonna

1359
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: draft him high. I don't know how high? Does he mean?

1360
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 1: Because but not hot? Let's see where Fuller is? No,

1361
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: I think the answers, no, there's none worth drafting. I

1362
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: would take Corey Coleman based on where he is a DP.

1363
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: I believe it's like the tenth round or something. Yeah,

1364
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: I think Corey Coleman would be Yeah, he's late ninth round.

1365
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: I would take him there. But when I hear high,

1366
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking fourth or fifth round for what there are.

1367
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,200
Speaker 1: Treadwell as a guy who'd say red flag there for him,

1368
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's crazy he's still getting drafted. He should

1369
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,360
Speaker 1: not be drafted at all at this point. Lakwan Treadwell,

1370
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:51,600
Speaker 1: it's crazy that he would be even in the mix. Uh.

1371
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd certainly had a lot of buzz. How about

1372
01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd as a as a late round, very late round,

1373
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 1: that would not be high, that would not be happy.

1374
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Do you guys are aware my situation was Shepherd right?

1375
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: You don't like you're not buying in at all? Be careful.

1376
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 1: Guess he actually could win the Christen Michael Award. That's fair.

1377
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 1: I'll throw him out there. I think he's safe. I

1378
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: would take him on my fantasy roster. Uh. What else

1379
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 1: we got in the old male bag? This is from

1380
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 1: Sam K Butler. What offenses are you avoiding completely half

1381
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: the league? Why do you say that was trust? Yeah?

1382
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 1: Like take take the players on the high octane offenses.

1383
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: That's how you win fantasy leagues. I don't. I always was.

1384
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: I never had hard and fast rules. I always thought

1385
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: hard and fast rules are stupid because there's every player

1386
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: is that its own, its own thing. And so if

1387
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: you name me a team in the league that you

1388
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:52,639
Speaker 1: don't think I could find a fantasy guy, I bet

1389
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:54,519
Speaker 1: you could find a round where I would want one

1390
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: of those guys that have some value. What team is

1391
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 1: that I would probably not draft? The Philade If you

1392
01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: eagle Jordan Matthews to me, is absolutely a good value

1393
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: where he's getting taken. I think he's a seventh eighth

1394
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: round pick. I like that for Jordan Matthews. He could

1395
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: have a monster. Probably wouldn't draft a Buffalo Bill. I

1396
01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,160
Speaker 1: know we like Coleman, but they have Terrell Prior and

1397
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: Josh Gordon in the top sixty, and I think that

1398
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 1: that offense is just gonna be kind of flukey shots

1399
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: down field, and they've got Isaiah Crowell. I would never

1400
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: take any Brown running back. I wouldn't touch on Coleman.

1401
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 1: Coleman is the one guy that you take on. You

1402
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't take Lashawan McCoy if he's if he's still there,

1403
01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:35,320
Speaker 1: and not take Lashaw McCoy based on principal alone. I

1404
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: can't stand that guy well. And look what happened to

1405
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,559
Speaker 1: him last year. They got him into the red zone

1406
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,080
Speaker 1: and then it was Carlos Williams racking up the touchdown.

1407
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: Who's that guy this year? They've got other good backs.

1408
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: Jonathan Williams is a good I mean they have other

1409
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 1: They've got a pretty deep backfield. Actually, I mean Reggie

1410
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,519
Speaker 1: If Reggie Bush is your number two and Mike gillis

1411
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,599
Speaker 1: LEI is the other guy. I don't know that doesn't

1412
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: seem to be I like Leashan McCoy, I mean just

1413
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 1: in terms. I like him in general. I think he

1414
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 1: played better last year than peop give him credit for.

1415
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: Outside of a late round flyer on Terence West, I

1416
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 1: wouldn't touch any ravens mm hmm. That's in that one.

1417
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: You might have me then and Sizzler have a sandwich

1418
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: on Ben I would take I would take away. But

1419
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 1: that was I made a massive calculated arrow. I I

1420
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 1: when I listened to that podcast, I wanted to be

1421
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:24,120
Speaker 1: on the side where Ben Watson is gonna massively underperform expectations. Well,

1422
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: and I was one. Yeah, I I tried to know.

1423
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm not adding more people to what I'm saying was

1424
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 1: a terrible bet on my part. Yeah, jump on. Let

1425
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: me buy you a wager is that Ben Watson will

1426
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:39,720
Speaker 1: have more than five yards. That was crazy because you

1427
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:41,880
Speaker 1: caught me in a in a scattered moment. If there's

1428
01:10:41,920 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: anything else there, their Crockett Gilmore is there that has pitted.

1429
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: There's Max Williams, whom they drafted in the second. If

1430
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:50,799
Speaker 1: like twelve players went down in like a lost bus incident,

1431
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 1: then I'm on fire with that. If you were like

1432
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: picking the guy most likely to run the NFL p A, yes,

1433
01:10:57,280 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: you could take a sandwich on very smart not drafting

1434
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:04,400
Speaker 1: any tamp Bay Buccaneers about Robert come back, I don't.

1435
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 1: I can't stand their uniforms. Mark's got a good point

1436
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: about their stadium during the sunlight hours. And I just said,

1437
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 1: everybody's way too high on Jameis Winston this year. Well

1438
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,719
Speaker 1: what about what about Doug Martin? What about Doug Martin?

1439
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 1: You watched every Jami. Everybody thinks he's better than Mariota

1440
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,799
Speaker 1: now and he's not. Don't take it out on Marriott

1441
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,000
Speaker 1: and taking it out on him. You can't stop me. Also,

1442
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 1: Doug Martin was a great pick last year because he

1443
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 1: was running. Everybody now expects him to do what he

1444
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 1: did last year, and I don't think he's gonna do it.

1445
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 1: He's late second round. If he I'm just saying, if

1446
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: he's there in the fourth round, then you're like, Okay,

1447
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: I have a question, was honest question, because I don't

1448
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 1: know if it's a little stick or you're being honest,

1449
01:11:39,920 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: like you're you're a fantasy guy and you're trying to

1450
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 1: win a fantasy league. Why are you really going to

1451
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 1: avoid certain guys and certain app teams? Because the way

1452
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,559
Speaker 1: the sunlight absolutely, first of all, this was save this

1453
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: for We could save a lot of this for the

1454
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: Philosophy podcast, the Fantasy Philosophy pods the week, but this

1455
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 1: is this is for you to go have fun. There

1456
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,320
Speaker 1: are many ways to construct a winning team, put a

1457
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 1: stranglehold on your league, and still avoid players you don't like.

1458
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 1: And he makes a good point, because if you're gonna

1459
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: be a good Fantasy owner, you want to go watch

1460
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:14,680
Speaker 1: these guys, whether it's Game Pass wherever and and the

1461
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 1: Bucks Stadium. I don't know how many other ways to

1462
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 1: say this is the worst sporting venue in the country

1463
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: to watch, much less on a replay. The way that

1464
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 1: it is. When it's early in the morning, it's intense.

1465
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:28,479
Speaker 1: Suddenly it's kind of if it happens to you in

1466
01:12:28,479 --> 01:12:31,479
Speaker 1: real life. You get inside immediately, so you take it

1467
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 1: over the Georgia domes. You know where I'm with domes

1468
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: um West And I don't want to question your integrity,

1469
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 1: which is through the roofs through the roof. But if

1470
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 1: Doug Martin somehow slips in a league you're into, like

1471
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 1: the fifth round, you're not gonna take Doug Martin probably.

1472
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 1: I usually stick to my guns on this kind of thing.

1473
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 1: I don't want a guy on my team. He's not

1474
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna be on my team. I can find a way

1475
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 1: to win a league. Dan, I'm not worried about that. Okay,

1476
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: all right, I was just checking seventh round Doug Martin's

1477
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: but you don't like the way the site. I trust

1478
01:13:02,920 --> 01:13:05,120
Speaker 1: my gut, Like if did my guts telling me stay

1479
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 1: away from Doug Martin this year round everyone's fallen into

1480
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,759
Speaker 1: At that point, Mike Evans is still on the board.

1481
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 1: For some reason, they forgot he existed at that point, Like,

1482
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 1: that's that's a sign. If he's still there at the

1483
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:18,800
Speaker 1: fifteenth round, it's a sign that you should keep doing this.

1484
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: Stick alright, sixth round, Mike Evans on the board. But

1485
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:25,200
Speaker 1: a cloud cover is rolled into the Tampa area and

1486
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 1: it's sitting there all through the fall in winter. Uh

1487
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 1: so no sunshine issues, then, would you take? No? I

1488
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: can't watch those uniforms. They're hideous, anti dome and anti sunshine.

1489
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:41,320
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, anti Tampa Florida sunshine, not sunshine,

1490
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 1: not all sunshine. I was hung over one Sunday morning,

1491
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 1: was assigned to watch the Buccaneers in a road game,

1492
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 1: and those uniforms made by hangover ten times worst. All right.

1493
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 1: On that note, that wraps up part one of our

1494
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: fantasy extravaganza. We'll be back Wednesday with more football chatter.

1495
