6
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna make it. I was. There's a lot

7
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: of things going on. We had the Legal League drafts.

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 1: You were in Vegas, so you never take us over

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: the weekend. You never know. I'm just say now that

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: there's a football team there. I might not ever come back,

11
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: but I will touch on We'll touch on a lot

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: of that fantasy correspond for the LV Raiders perhaps and perhaps.

13
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: And plus I've had a nice little battle with Falcon's

14
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 1: Twitter over the last couple of it's been listen, let

15
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: me tell you something. And I'm say, hey, Marcus, hello,

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: please please, Alex. I don't want but listen. This is

17
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: what I gotta say. So last week there was another

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: there was another Ryan. Uh let's beaker, Paul Ryan, who

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: didn't have a great day and I drew up. And

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: this is this is not a political statement. I'm just

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: saying that he had a bad Friday, and I drew

22
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: a parallel with him and Matt Ryan. They go, look,

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: they both folded in the fourth quarters. That's it's Frank

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: and everybody like, here's the thing, here's the thing is

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: that Falcons. Twitter was all a buzz being like it

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: wasn't Matt Ryan's fault that we lost the game. And

27
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: I said, okay, listen, I can appreciate that, and there's

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: plenty of blame to go around. But ultimately, and I

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: went back and I rewatched the game, Matt Ryan needed

30
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: to make one more play and did not make it. Henceforth,

31
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 1: he folded. It's like, listens, but he made that big

32
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: play to go down, but you needed another you want

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: to win the game? Or do you want to be like, oh,

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: we got close? What is it like? It's like it's

35
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: like if a guy scores forty points in an NBA

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: championship game, like the n c A tournaments coming up,

37
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: Let's say, is that not a great game. Let's say

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,639
Speaker 1: that kid from North Carolina if he misses that shot

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: and they lose the game, like he didn't make the shot,

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: like I can't, but did he fold? I mean that's

41
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: fault because You're there for one thing to win. Yes,

42
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: So if you had scored forty points but you failed

43
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: to convert on two free throws to win the game,

44
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: then you folded, like I'm sorry, that's it's a guy

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: Marc Scott Norwood folded in Super Bowl, did he not?

46
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it wasn't his fault that they lost the

47
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: game entirely, but he needed to make the play at

48
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: the end of the game. He didn't do it. Matt

49
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: Ryan didn't do I'm sorry. I hate to be the

50
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: one to have to report that it's a good tweet.

51
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: You had ranked it was. It was. It was a

52
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: good tweet. I missed it at the time. It's got

53
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: nearly two thousand tweets. It was a good tweet. Over

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: two thousand. Can you read the tweet as Ryan folding

55
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: in the clutches starting to become a theme of side

56
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: by side of Matt Ryan holding his face with confetti

57
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: coming down in the background and Paul Ryan looking sad,

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: which is kind of how I imagine that kind of

59
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of like confetti coming down and Matt Paul

60
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 1: Ryan having to walk them that that's the way we

61
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: should do it. Now, with with all bills, anything that happened, everything,

62
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: you have to set up different colors for bills. Though.

63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: I can't wait. This is gonna be any time there's

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: a Ryan who fails, it's on, it's popping. You just

65
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: gotta start adding to it. Let's go. I'm looking forward

66
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: to it. Mgmarks Grant. I will say that after this conversation, Um,

67
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: people who love the law, sausage and jokes should watch

68
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: neither of them being made because, uh, it's it just

69
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: doesn't work out. It's ugly. Sometimes. There you go, kid

70

79
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,520

Speaker 1: out every single fantasy relevant incoming rookie. Uh is just

81
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: an absolute monster. How many pages is that thing? Well,

82
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: it's it's thousands, as I'm sure he'll explain, because it's

83
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: a couple of several hunds literally thousand, several hundred pages

84
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: of analysis and the rankings and detailed descriptions of each

85
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,320

Speaker 1: like he details the plays and the games that he

87
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: watched and what what you know from that play indicated

88
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,919

89
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,480

Speaker 1: college pro Day Dante form and holy good God, all

114
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: my of course we start here. We've got we've got

115
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: young inspiring quarterbacks are covering from major injuries. And James

116
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: was like, nahtime forty time. Now. This dude ran a

117
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: four four five forty this after weighing in at two

118
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five pounds. I mean, by the way,

119
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: he's only three weeks removed from a foot fracture. The

120
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: dude ran a four four five at two thirty five

121
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: after a foot fracture. Holy hell. All by the way,

122
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: extremely productive in college as well as a junior. He

123
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: ran for two thousand yards and fifteen touchdowns at Texas.

124
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: Alex gelhar your thoughts. I mean, this is good news.

125
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: He was one of the guys I was um excited

126
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 1: to watch at the combine before he couldn't do any

127
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: workouts because of his um full stracture because he carried

128
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: a lot of extra weight in the season. Still looked great,

129
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: but there were reports that he trimmed down a little bit,

130
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, tone everything up, And I was like, all right,

131
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: let's let's see what this guy can run, because he's

132
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of the traits you like, he's

133
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: kind of a bulldoz. He's a bulldozer. He's got some

134
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: foot quickness. Though. He's one of those bigger balance backs

135
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: with balance that we like to see kind of in

136
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: the Eddie Lacy, Marshawn Lynch, Derrick Blunt Mold where you

137
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: know he'll bounce off of guys, he'll spin around and

138
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: stay up. So this is all really promising for him,

139
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: and he's going to be a guy that will need

140
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: to watch in the middle rounds. If if a team

141
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: makes a move for him there that needs a running back.

142
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: They were saying that he was playing around two fifty

143
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: five to sixty as a junior. He slimmed down for

144
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: the combine, which I love. I love the fact that

145
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: he did that. And then he goes in his pro

146
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: d and runs a four four five. Oh, sign me

147
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: up all day long. Because he can catch passes too,

148
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: So he's he's a he's a complete back. That's amazing.

149
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: Until he's going into the NFL weighing two sixty again,

150
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: Like that's full. I'm glad he lost the weight for

151
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: the combine. I mean, couldn't he maintain the two five frame?

152
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: He's playing football like you, it was easier to lose

153
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: weight when you were a younger man. Like people don't

154
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: become like slimmer as like okay, I shouldn't be the

155
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: one thing for most shut up. Most people do not.

156
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: We have we have a we have a theme in

157
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: the fantasy stronghold of hey, fat rank. I mean there's

158
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: a picture of fat rank. There is, and then there's

159
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: a picture of currenting rank. All right, well, then draft

160
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: me in the fifth round. As I will say that

161
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: in his defense, he's going from eating on a college campus,

162
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: which all of us know is not good for your health.

163
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: All the food there because an NFL like diet program,

164
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: and he was unpaid, which means that he was getting fat,

165
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: like with no money, Like, what's going to happen because

166
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: you know what's cheaper is food that's terrible for you

167
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: that he can only afford to Tacos del All I

168
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 1: know is that I could get Carls Juior on my

169
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:10,840
Speaker 1: meal plants, so that didn't help me out at all. Well,

170
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: now he can go to Carl's Jr. And hit the

171
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: taco bell. Anyways, we're getting off, but I'm not getting

172
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: out the rails. I'm just saying that it's a legitimate.

173
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: But I will also say that Levian Bell was a

174
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: guy who was heavier in college than he was when

175
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: he got to the NFL. He slimmed down and has

176
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: remained that size since he's been with I was saying,

177
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: we're getting off the rails rank and specifying which fast

178
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: food chains he could hit. Your complaint is certainly valid,

179
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: but we didn't need to go that deep. It's been noted.

180
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: It's been noted, it's been what do you think, like

181
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,719
Speaker 1: he's hitting what a burger. Of course, he's choleling that

182
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: if he goes to a California team where he can

183
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 1: get a better burger. There's three l A teams he

184
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: could go get in and out. There are three l

185
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: A teams, Las Vegas Raiders. We'll be an offshoot. We'll

186
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: stay with. By the way, do you go real quick? Actually,

187
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: rather than jumping into that, we do kind of have

188
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: some breaking news as we were starting podcast here. Per

189
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: Chris Bradford of at the Times, he uh found from

190
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: a leak source that Martavis Bryant's reinstatement is quote imminent.

191
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: Feels let's go all right, mart probably just stood up

192
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: a chair and high will explain. Let's explain it later

193
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: because it's awesome. Oh, I think I know exactly where

194
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: this goes. But anyway, I will say this, I am

195
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: not going to get excited until he's actually off because

196
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: as the skeptic, because I remember remember all the excitement

197
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: and hype around a certain Cleveland Brown's wide receiver who

198
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: was actually reinstated, not imminently, was actually reinstated and still

199
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: has not played an actual down of football. So I

200
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: want to see Martavis Briant on the field and then

201
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: I will you know, we are words for you. How

202
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 1: dare you? We are trying to Mark says to come in.

203
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: All right, thank energy. We will go for real real quick,

204
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: and he does. If he does get reinstated, where do

205
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: you guys think you draft him next this coming fall

206
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: und if he's if he's still on the board after

207
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: the sixth round, I think that's yeah, that sounds about right.

208
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: I'd probably take him in. Oh yeah, don't you dare

209
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: touch him in the fifth. But yeah, I think I

210
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: think sixth rounds sounds about right. Well if well, I

211
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: mean it'll depend on shape and stuff like that. We

212
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: reports out of camp at things. But we saw, we've

213
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: seen how good he can be, even in limited amounts

214
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: of work in years past. If he's reinstated, his ceiling,

215
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: if he plays a full sixteen gamesnsters. But what about it?

216
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Oh god, you're right, yeah, Ben might retire. He's I

217
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: swear to god, you're stretch out. He's the worst. He's

218
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: a guy who always says like you invite somewhere, says no,

219
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: just to have everybody beg him. Oh come on, dude,

220
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 1: come on man, I'll buy the first round of Yeager bombs.

221
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of that for sure. That's his

222
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: whole life. I'm tired of it. Like fine, retire, like

223
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: we're done with your Okay, there you go. H Can

224
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: we talk about Adrian Peterson now? Adrian Peterson finds himself?

225
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: Could he find himself in Giants blue next season? Why

226
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: you're chuckling already? Coastal Pro Football Talk Report coach Ben

227
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: mcindo coyly said, quote, never say never when talking about

228
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: adding Adrian Peterson. I would if I was a coach

229
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: and somebody asked, hey, do you think that we could

230
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 1: see him in a Giant uniform? Be like, I don't know?

231
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: Is he on NFL shop dot com? Certainly purchase fund

232
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: It's I'm tired of Adrian Peterson? Why I really like you? Ever?

233
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: Here's the thing with Peterson. You ever watched like NASCAR

234
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: highlights from the seventies, You don't, but disimagine what it

235
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: looked like that Sadrian Peterson. Now it's like the game

236
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: has kind of passed him by and he's he's not that.

237
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: The way he plays running back is not the way

238
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: that that position is played now. And I think there

239
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: are very few places for him to go where he

240
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: can be successful, and it's gonna be up to him

241
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: to say, I'm willing to take less money, I'm willing

242
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: to take a reduced role. And I'm having a hard

243
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: time seeing that. Well, I mean, when you say there's

244
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: no place for him, I mean, I don't know if

245
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: that's necessarily true. Look, yes, he's a downhill runner that

246
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 1: needs to play in a system that is under center.

247
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: He can't really run from the shotgun. Uh that well,

248
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 1: which everybody does, which okay, I understand what you're saying,

249
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: but I mean there's a lot of there's a lot

250
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: of teams out there that that still run from under center.

251
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, it's it's hard to argue

252
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: the other side because then when we start start talking

253
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: about quarterback evaluations, what it was like, Well, the guy

254
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: has never played under center. I mean, why is that

255
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: important if everyone's running from the shotguns? Well, those are

256
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: young guys who are coming into the league. And besides

257
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 1: two and you know we'll you discussing this with our

258
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: guests coming up here shortly, is that there's a lot

259
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: of good running backs in this in this upcoming draft too.

260
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 1: That if you're sitting there, if you're a team that

261
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: has a need. Like if you're the Raiders and you're like, well,

262
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: we could sign him, we could sign the third if

263
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: his price tech comes all the way down to like

264
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: a one year, three million dollar options, but's still too Mike,

265
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: why would I do? I'd rather draft a guy who's

266
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: not who hasn't been injured two out of the last

267
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: three years, true, who hasn't who doesn't have all those

268
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: miles on. He's only two years removed from a great season,

269
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: So there is there's I don't know. It's intriguing, at

270
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: least to me that the offense is great in New York.

271
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: If he goes there, you divorced yourself from the name.

272
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: Like if it was like this is just running back X.

273
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: Here's his last three years missing too with injuries, one

274
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: great year. He's thirty two, He's got all this. You know,

275
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: he's got baggage associated with them, both on and off

276
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: the field. I'm out, I don't need it, all right,

277
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm going somewhere else. I mean, like, the reason I

278
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: bring him New You work is because it's if he

279
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: signs there, theoretically it's a good offense. Also, not a

280
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: lot of inspiring names there in the running back but

281
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: I also feel like it's I think it's kind of

282
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: funny that the one team that is even you know,

283
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: feigning interest in him is arguably the worst fit for

284
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: his skills. It's honestly the worst fit for his skill set. Also,

285
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: I want to add that, um, let's not forget the

286
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: lessons of the past. When just a few years ago

287
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: a team with a young rising quarterback signed a bunch

288
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: of veterans that we all used to love. We all

289
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: bought in on him, and they fell apart for us.

290
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the Colts. When they had Andrew Luck

291
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: and they signed Andre Johnson. Fantasy community went wild. He

292
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: was getting drafted in the third round. I didn't want

293
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: to do it. I bought into it. I drafted him

294
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: in one league. Hated it. Frank Are struggled, Like, hated it.

295
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: This is a team. The Giants are team though with

296
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: an aging quarterback whose arm we saw fall apart down

297
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: the stretcher. Just add an aging wide receiver, and now

298
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: we want them to add an aging running back to

299
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: interesting Like, what part of that actually excites you in fantasy? Yeah? Like,

300
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: like I'm serious, I'm waiting for a name other than

301
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: O B J And he doesn't get to count the

302
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: one hoppers that he's gonna catch from Eli. Well, I

303
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: mean they got they have a good group of wide receivers.

304
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about Brandon Marshall, I mean still

305
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: even as a number three, I think he's interesting. He's

306
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: diluting the pool though. Now we we're gonna have Obi

307
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 1: j and Shephard getting a vast targets when you add

308
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: good players, I mean, it just helps the offense in general.

309
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, doesn't always for fantasy though. Yeah, alright,

310
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: well we'll see. Um. Andrew Luck has shoulder surgery Back

311
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: in January. Owner Jim er Say told the media the

312
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: team's gonna take it slow with Andrew Luck and did

313
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: not rule out Luck missing part of training camp. Awesome

314
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: MG cause for concern there? Or is it actually kind

315
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: of like backdoor good news? Uh? Considering that he wasn't

316
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: really that healthy in and yet still put up some

317
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: decent numbers, I'm not worried about it. Let's be honest.

318
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: How much would Andrew Luck have played in the preseasons.

319
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 1: I mean, he would have got his reps in training camp, um,

320
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,399
Speaker 1: but how much would they really have put him out there? Obviously,

321
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: knowing that he is their franchise right now and they

322
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: have not done a very good job of protecting him

323
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: on the field. Um, this just seems like getting going

324
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: out and getting a guy some rest. I mean, now,

325
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 1: the there are bigger issues in that offense. I mean,

326
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, as much as I love Frank Gore, not

327
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: even not even he can outrun Father Time forever. Um,

328
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, they've they've got to, you know, hopefully show

329
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: up that offensive line a little bit more. So. I

330
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 1: think there are bigger causes for concern in the Indianapolis offense.

331
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 1: I'm not really panicking over Andrew Luck right now. All right, Well,

332
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: let's get to our group of injured young quarterbacks. On Instagram,

333
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater showed a short video of him planting and

334
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: throwing a football f y I. He was wearing two cloves,

335
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: Teddy two gloves. Marcus Mariota was seeing in a local

336
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: news report in his home state of Hawaii running around

337
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: on the beach. His recovery is portedly coming along and

338
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: he is expected to be available for the start of

339
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: training camp, which I'm actually surprised by. And just to

340
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: make sure we've got all of your broken leg quarterback

341
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: News covered Raiders GM. Reggie Mackenzie told reporters that Derek

342
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: Carr will be quote good to go for offseason workouts,

343
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: workouts that start in just a month. Also of note there,

344
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 1: Derek Carr also celebrated his twentieth birthday on Tuesday. Wait,

345
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: Derek carrs, he is indeed twenty eight. My friends out

346
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: of college because he did. It was about a four

347
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: year guy at Fresno State. He was, he was indeed

348
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: still twenty eight. Like this kind's Chris Winky territory. That

349
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 1: was Chris Winky is a rookie. I mean, this is

350
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: gonna be. This is gonna be his fourth year though.

351
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: Now don't forget this his fourth year already. That's what's happening.

352
00:18:55,720 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: Make it stop. His teammate Marquette King sent Derek Carr

353
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:04,440
Speaker 1: a happy birthday tweet with the video of King literally

354
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: hunting full form an actual birthday market. King is dope.

355
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: It was amazing, it is I love every second of it.

356
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: Punters are our national treasure. They are, but Markette King

357
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: in particular him, Um I will I do have to

358
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: say it was great to see Teddy just actually on

359
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: a field though, because like everything we heard with his

360
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: injury and stuff, and like, man, if he can come

361
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: back into that offense, I mean this year is probably

362
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: still a long shot, but now that they've got you know,

363
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs and Feeling and Kyle Rudolph like that. I

364
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: remember watching Bridgewater last preseason before his injury and thinking

365
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: this was gonna be a great year for him. He

366
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: was looking like it was finally all kind of coalescing

367
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: for him skill wise, and he had some offensive players

368
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: around him. A let's not forget Treadwell like he could be.

369
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: He could be a very very sneaky like super late

370
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: round or streaming guy that you pick up that might

371
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: love to know what the story is behind Treadwell. Why

372
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: did he fall out of favorite with that team? Why

373
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: why did he just get completely buried? It's a good question.

374
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: I don't have the answer. Isn't that weird? It's so

375
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: odd when you think about like how high people were

376
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: on him last year. I mean still the first round

377
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,640
Speaker 1: he included, like me included. I was a big fan

378
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: of his at Mississippi. It just seemed baffling, like is

379
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: this guy Because when Adam DeLand started catching passes, You're like, oh,

380
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: that's cute. You know, you're like, what is happening? Like

381
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: how is this guy? So I think the Teddy Bridgewater injury, though,

382
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,959
Speaker 1: was a blessing in disguise for somebody like Adam Theland

383
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: because you know, you think about that North Turner offense.

384
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: They want to go, you know, run medium to deep

385
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: rounds a lot. That's not really where Adam Feeland thrives,

386
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: you know, And once they had to get you know

387
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: what's Teddy Bridgewater went down all of a sudden, the

388
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: short passing game because became much more prevalent, and I

389
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: think that's where Adam DeLand basically started. It was a

390
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: very good deep threat for them too, so he's he

391
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: can kind of do it all. I think Harmon was

392
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: putting him through reception perception and said he was he

393
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 1: was hashtag good. But of those other guys too, I mean,

394
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: all three of these guys were gonna have to watch

395
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: their injuries, but could be great late round quarterback values

396
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: if they do make full recovery. But we're I guess

397
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: well what I've already talked myself out of the point

398
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: I was just gonna make because I'm like, are we

399
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: gonna are we just going to assume that Teddy Bridgewater

400
00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: is going to come back as a starter. Then I

401
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: realized the starter Sam Bradford, who he's gonna get hurt.

402
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: So Teddy Bridgewater will have to play at something. Okay,

403
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I know, Sam Bratt, don't. Oh God, Twitter,

404
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: don't you played like? Okay, shut up? It was one

405
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: good dead Okay, let's see it again. All right, great,

406
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: It's like it's like mark ingram work in the elbow? Alright,

407
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,239
Speaker 1: would you do that? Alright? Because the Tony Romo thing

408
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 1: must never die. Owner Jerry Jones said that the team

409
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: will make a decision on Robo by the start of

410
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: training camp. Bro, that's four months away. Dude, whatever happened

411
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: to this whole doing right by Tony Romo things? This

412
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: now dead? Don't Yeah, they're gonna do right by Tony Romo.

413
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: And so the Houston Textans started nosing around, and Jerry

414
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: Show was like, yeah, I can't have the other team

415
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: in my state usurping me with my old quarterbacks so stupid.

416
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: It's like, just let the guy go, Let the guy go.

417
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: I don't understand. I really feel like if it was

418
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: any just just about any other team, maybe you know,

419
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: maybe you can throw in a couple of times from

420
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: the NFC East, you know, when it's like Washington might

421
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: have a QB opening, that wouldn't have happened. He's but

422
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: like pretty much i'd say eight other teams in the NFL,

423
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: Jerry would be he Tony wish best of luck, hope

424
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: well works out for you. But it's like, why is

425
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: he worried about Houston? He's worried about He's worried about

426
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: the NFC East, which is I think that's that's legit,

427
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: Like you can't worry about the FC teams too. This

428
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: is ridiculous. He I guarantee if he was at the

429
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 1: five yard line going in for the Denver Broncos job,

430
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: I guarantee you Jerry Jones blocking that too. I mean,

431
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: that's just it's just so stupid, like let the guy go.

432
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: I don't understand. It's so I don't know. I get annoyed.

433
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 1: But I think Tony Romo was gonna end up in

434
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: TV this year. Maybe he plays, Maybe maybe he gets

435
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 1: healthy finally and comes back the year after. I don't know. Again,

436
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: you know, like Tony Romo is thirty seven. I think

437
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: that's correct. You know, you have a couple of back injuries.

438
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: It's tough when you're in your late thirties, like trying

439
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: to come back, like I know what it's like. It's

440
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: like I have to go do yoga and all that stuff,

441
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: and it's like it's not easy. And I've not taken

442
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: the pounding physically the Tony Romo has taken over the

443
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: course of his life, and at some point trying to

444
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 1: ramp back up and get into game shape again. I

445
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: don't know that he's gonna want to do that, and

446
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna want to give it

447
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: a go. And then you look at him and the

448
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: way he comports himself like he's gonna have a pretty

449
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: nice career talking about football on television for a very

450
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: long time. And I don't know. And he's got a

451
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: young family. We saw him on Instagram now and he

452
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: was out there playing with his daughter, and I think

453
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if his wife's pregnant again after expect

454
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: or anything like it, but I just feel that at

455
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: some point he's gonna be like, you know what, I

456
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: want to be able to run around with my kids,

457
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: and it's not worth it to me anymore. I made

458
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: a lot of money. A lot of people will push

459
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: him for the Hall of Fame. I'm not necessarily one

460
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: of those people. It's like, you had a good career,

461
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: you gave it, a good run, came from nowhere, like what,

462
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 1: there's no shame in just walking away. Yeah, that's true.

463
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: But if he wants to play the fact that Jerry

464
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: Jones is holding it up is that annoys me. That's

465
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of a d move, especially after the

466
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: whole you know, we're gonna do right by Tony a

467
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: little bit. Let's let's NFL owners, this is just a

468
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,479
Speaker 1: blanket statement for everything you do. Just be honest with us.

469
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: That's just be honest. That's gonna be That's cute. Yeah,

470
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 1: out of Baltimore and John Harball said Terence West is

471
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: the team's number one running back right now. I can't

472
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: help but chuckle. What about the goat Danny woodhead Alex

473
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: Kellhard No, well, I mean, nobody's gonna come out and

474
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: say that Danny Wood has number one running back even

475
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: if you know, and he probably wouldn't even line up

476
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: like that or you know, fill that role, but he

477
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,679
Speaker 1: could be the number one running back and terms of touches,

478
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: we've seen happen before with Danny Woodhead. Kenneth Dixon, remember,

479
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: is suspended of the first four games season, So I

480
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: don't know Terence thoughts on Terence West in terms of

481
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 1: a draft, it seems like he'd be an interesting guy

482
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: to target late in the draft and at least you

483
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 1: get a decent running back for the first four weeks. Yeah,

484
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: I mean West had good spells last year. To the

485
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 1: trouble was that offense continued to go away from the

486
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: running game at times, and then they mix it up

487
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: with Dixon and stuff like that, and then they changed

488
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: their offensive their offensive coordinators so and then they still

489
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: didn't go back to the running game all that much.

490
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: But West West was pretty productive and he would be

491
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,239
Speaker 1: the feature, the figured guy to get most of those

492
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 1: goal line touches, which is something that we definitely want.

493
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: But yeah, I think he's gonna be a great late

494
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: round stab because maybe they find a nice merger between

495
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,720
Speaker 1: him and Woodhead. Maybe he takes over like it's it's

496
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: low risk late and late in the and and he

497
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,360
Speaker 1: looked good last year two at times he looked real good.

498
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: It's not I mean, obviously the upside is not. Dangelo

499
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: Williams you know what I mean. But it's it's it's

500
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: similar to that scenario certainly. All right, so those are

501
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: your top headlines. Let's get that's a good comparison. Okay,

502
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: thank you very much. I appreciate those are your tough headline.

503
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: Let's get to draft Expert Rookie prognosticator. Oh my god,

504
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: this guy's an absolute machine. We're talking about Matt Waldman.

505
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: All right, on the horn. We got the great Matt Waldman.

506
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: If you've never heard of him, will shame on you. Listen.

507
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: This man is an absolute beast when it comes to

508
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: scouting rookies. He actually has a thing called the the

509
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: the Rookie Scouting Portfolio, the RSP world famous in the

510
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: fantasy community. Matt, welcome to the program. Hey, it's a pleasure.

511
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me on. Hey man, all right, so

512
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: talk to us a little bit about your project. Um,

513
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, every single year you come out with this, uh,

514
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: this great portfolio. You could find it at Matt Waldman

515
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: RSP dot com. But what is the Wookie Scouting Portfolio? Sure,

516
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: this is something that I've been doing for the past

517
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: twelve years. It comes out every April one. And what

518
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: I do is I study the skill position prospects quarterback,

519
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: running back, wide receiver, tight end, and do it according

520
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: to a process that I've developed with the help of,

521
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, my past um experience as an operations manager,

522
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: quality assurance manager, and an industry where had to get

523
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: certified for process improvement and performance evaluation. And I applied

524
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: a lot of that to how I study rookie prospects.

525
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: So everything's defined, everything is transparent. I you know, as

526
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: a guy who you know, really didn't have a name

527
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 1: in this industry twelve years ago or anything at all,

528
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 1: I thought the best way to go about doing this

529
00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: was to show all my work if I if I

530
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: can paraphrase correctly here, it's because when most people hear

531
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: about scouting reports, it's it's a report, it's just words,

532
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: uh right, But you actually have you know, assigned values.

533
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: Am I correct to saying that that's exactly right? Everything

534
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: everything has an assigned value that's defined so that you

535
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 1: can look at. You get a glossary, you get checklists

536
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: that show you what I'm grading on, why I'm grading

537
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: on it, and then I take you through my process.

538
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 1: So what happens is you get a three hundred page

539
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: draft guide based on about a hundred prospects, and then

540
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: for the craziness factor, which is just to show people, hey, look,

541
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: this is how I do my work. If you really

542
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: are that nuts about this stuff, I'll show you the

543
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: other seven to eight hundred pages worth of work that

544
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: I did from the year for you to just examine

545
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: if you want to. Most people don't look at that.

546
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: That's just the way of saying, hey, dude, I work

547
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: on this stuff all the time. That was I opened

548
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: to me when I got my first RSP a couple

549
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: of years ago. Been a subscriber for a while. But that,

550
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: like you said that at the end of it, I'm like,

551
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, good god man, why would you need to

552
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: put all this in. I mean, it's like all the

553
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 1: crazy watched in the games, so you know, Walman does

554
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: his work and studies it up. And I also like

555
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: that you have met in there. It's not only just

556
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: the reports on all the guys at the positions, but

557
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: you kind of break down the categories from each position

558
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: and rank the guys in there as well, like which

559
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: guys are the best deep threats at wide receiver, which

560
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: guys have the best short range agility yet running back?

561
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: And stuff like that. So it really helps you get

562
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 1: a good sense of all of these prospects. Absolutely, and

563
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: that's part of taking you through the process because we

564
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: all know, you know, especially in the fantasy community, linear

565
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 1: rankings or what everyone likes because you want to have

566
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: that straight, simple answer, but we know that it's not

567
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: that way. You know, in the NFL, there are gonna

568
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: be certain teams they pick a certain player, and if

569
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: they fit him with the right offense, he's gonna be great.

570
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you can take a player,

571
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: and I think a perfect example of that is let's

572
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: look at Tom Brady and Russell Wilson. Tom Brady maybe

573
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, but if

574
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: you put him in an offense and asked him to

575
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: do what Russell Wilson does, he would fail. Russell Wilson.

576
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 1: You can put Russell Wilson in like five different offenses

577
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: and he would play well. He might not play as

578
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: well as Brady in the same offense. That's debatable, but

579
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: that's the point. And so being able to take people

580
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: through all those different possibilities and put it in a

581
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: way that's easy to digest helps them become better prepared.

582
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: For their fantasy draft. So Matt Waldman, Matt Waldman RSP

583
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: dot com. All right, so you are an absolute machine

584
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: when it comes to these rookie you know, scouting reports. Here. Uh,

585
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: this is a draft that has reportedly one of the

586
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: deepest running back drafts in recent memory. Of this very

587
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: deep class, give me Matt Waldman's favorite running back in

588
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: this class. Okay, well, that's interesting. You know, it's a

589
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: it is a it is a terrific class. And I

590
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 1: would say, you know, in terms of a favorite, I'm

591
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna give you my best, but I'll

592
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: tell you who my favorite is. One of my favorites

593
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: is Jamal Williams out of b y U. I think

594
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: he's a very interesting prospect because if you think about

595
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: Ricky Waters back in the day, the way that he

596
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: could catch the ball, how good of a blockery was.

597
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: He wasn't unbelievably fast, but he was quick shift, he understood,

598
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: you know, really the concepts of a blocking scheme, and

599
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,440
Speaker 1: he could get you positive yards and stay on the

600
00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: field all three downs. I think Jamal will Ms has

601
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: that possibility um as a player that within a few

602
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: years we may see him in a lineup and be

603
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: surprised about how good he is. So I'm gonna take

604
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm taking a look at some of your running backs

605
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 1: earlier today, and I'm gonna paraphrase you here and just

606
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: say that you think, uh for thatte is straight garbage

607
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: here first folks heard it here. That's funny. No, I

608
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: love accurate. It's no, not accurate at all. But uh,

609
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: I will say this. If you talked to some L

610
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: s U fans over the past few years when I've

611
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: done my videos, they might think that's my That was

612
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 1: my take because I often said, look, he doesn't do

613
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: some of the things that you would have Adrian Peterson

614
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: to do. He's not gonna, you know, drop his hips,

615
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: sit in that chair and make jump cuts like Jamal

616
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: Charles Peterson and Lashawn McCoy all day long. But if

617
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 1: you ask him to work downhill behind a fullback or

618
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: in a single back formation and let him hit that

619
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: whole hard, he's gonna give you what Stephen Davis gave

620
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: people in his prime, which is fourteen to seventeen hundred yards.

621
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: For a few years he had a season with seventeen touchdowns.

622
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nette is capable of that and what people

623
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: forget about Stephen Davis is that Stephen Davis that ran

624
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: a ten four one in high school. That's point four

625
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: seconds faster than what four net ran. And we're talking

626
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 1: about how great four net was. Stephen Davis was a

627
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: pretty nice back in his day. We just don't remember that. Um.

628
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: I think that they're pretty comparable. And I did talk

629
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: to a scout recently who I shared that with, who

630
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: I've been friendly with for a while, and he said

631
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: that was probably one of the better comps he's heard,

632
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: you know, because he's heard things ranging from Jim Brown

633
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: to you know, garbage. So I knew we talked so again,

634
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: But it goes back to your point of he's got

635
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: to go to the right team. And there's it. Just

636
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: I know that you mentioned, uh, the Colts. Obviously the

637
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: Cardinal is one, but he's not going to go there.

638
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: It seems like he's got a limited number of places

639
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: he can actually go to be successful. Yeah. I think

640
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: that that's I think on the surface that is true.

641
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: But I think that if a team picks him, you know, again,

642
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: this is kind of the assumption of rational coaching. My

643
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: buddy Sigmund bloom Um would probably label that, which is

644
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: that we assume that they were They're going to look

645
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: at this and say, look, we know what for net

646
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: can do and in an eye formation system, not running

647
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: him from shotgun all the time, but letting him run

648
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: down hill, and we're gonna bend that's We're going to

649
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: create a system that works well for that player if

650
00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna take him that high. That's the assumption. I'm

651
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: hoping that that will happen, rather than a team trying

652
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: to ramrod him into a shotgun formation. And then we

653
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: look at Adrian Peterson at the end of his career,

654
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: and we and and we're talking about you know, Leonard

655
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: Fournet at the beginning of his career. In those terms,

656
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: that would be sad. But I think teams like you know,

657
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly think that there are certain teams

658
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: that can run downhill from the shotgun reads smably well.

659
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: Carolina certainly could qualify. I would think they'd make some

660
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: adjustments if they wanted to um and look, you know,

661
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: the Raiders I think would be a good fit for him.

662
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: I think that they could do some things with that

663
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 1: offense and really you know, make the most out of

664
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: his game because one of the things that he does

665
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: unbelievably well is shortened his stride in the way that

666
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 1: wide receivers adjust their stride at full speed. When he

667
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: does that and he gets a chance to get downhill,

668
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: he can adjust just a little bit to eliminate angles

669
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: from defenders. And then with the speed that he has

670
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,760
Speaker 1: a two pounds. I mean, this guy's like a runaway

671
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: cement truck, you know. And when people try and reach

672
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: for him, their arms look like you know, car rails

673
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 1: and a whole booth. I mean, that's just what happens

674
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: with this guy. He's a He's a terrific back. He's

675
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: just he needs a specific fit. You know, Matt, you

676
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: have written a couple of pieces about Alvin Kamar, and

677
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: I feel like you and I are sort of on

678
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: the same page in that I haven't quite understood a

679
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,959
Speaker 1: lot of the hype around him. But maybe there's there's

680
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: something I'm missing. What do you see potentially his ceiling

681
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: as at the next level. Yeah, it's a it's a

682
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: great subject because you know, we've we've seen in the past,

683
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,399
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, we're all in this industry. We're

684
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: all wrong about players. You know, A good bit and

685
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: I've certainly had guys I've missed on um you know,

686
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 1: I missed on Dak Prescott horribly last year. But at

687
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 1: the same time, I've been right about guys like Bishop

688
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: Sanki and Nile Davis, guys that were given a lot

689
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: of high grades, or Andre Williams, and these were guys

690
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: that I just thought, I don't see it, and here's

691
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: why I don't see it. And Kamar fits in that

692
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: category to an extent because when you watch his game,

693
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 1: you you see a guy that has good balance in

694
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: terms of indirect contact. But one of the most important

695
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 1: things about a players and how many tackles he breaks

696
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: or players plays that he bounces off, or how quick

697
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: he is. It's also important to note whether or not

698
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,280
Speaker 1: he makes good decisions. And a lot of young college

699
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: players win on athletic ability by bouncing plays outside and

700
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: showing how quick they are and getting to the edge.

701
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 1: When the NFL there's three twenty pound guys who are

702
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: as quick as those running backs are, and there are

703
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: guys who are much more aware of what they're supposed

704
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 1: to be doing assignment wise, and you can't just bounce

705
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: things outside all the time. And he has that issue

706
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: on top of that issue, you also have a guy

707
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,479
Speaker 1: who's fumbled once every forty one touches during his career

708
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 1: at Tennessee. And no, you know that's you know, you

709
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: know this is like, you know, if the Jaguar, Let's

710
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 1: put this way, if the Jaguars draft Alvin Kamara, either

711
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 1: that will tell you that Tom Coughlin has no power

712
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: whatsoever or he's a sadistic man. There's no way that

713
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: you know, I you know, because he is his his

714
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: ball security is that bad at this point, and it's

715
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: a reserve caliber tier of ball security that is going

716
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: to keep you on the bench until you prove you

717
00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: can hang onto it. So when you combine the fact

718
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,479
Speaker 1: that he's not mature yet at being able to play

719
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: inside and keep the ball inside in situations where it's like,

720
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: look it's second and eight, get the two yards so

721
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,800
Speaker 1: it's third and six, rather than try and bounce the

722
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: play outside and make a third and twelve. These are

723
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: the types of mistakes that Lawrence Morroni made, C J.

724
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: Spiller made, Even Lashawn McCoy and and Jamal Charles made

725
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: these mistakes early on in their careers and they fixed it.

726
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: But the first two I mentioned Spiller and Moroney. There's

727
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 1: a reason why we never really looked at him as

728
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: long term starting running backs in the NFL. And that's

729
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: my concern with Kamar is that he's just not mature

730
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: enough yet. He might be, but right now he's a

731
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: space player. If you put him in an offense like

732
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 1: maybe the New Orleans Saints and let him catch swing

733
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: passes and screen passes and do some things like draw

734
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 1: plays where he can play a little bit more in

735
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: space and he doesn't have to be as disciplined about

736
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: being between the tackles, then you might have something immediately.

737
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: But right now, I think he's a little more of

738
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: a developmental guy who can give you some play time now,

739
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: not a top five running back. If you're looking for

740
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: a guy who was going to give you three down work,

741
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 1: Lawrence Moroney, what a callback. I can't. It's there's so

742
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: many bad memories, so sad I believed in Lawrence Moroney,

743
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: so bad. Oh my god, I love Lawrence Moroni. But no,

744
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 1: it didn't work out. I just there's been a couple

745
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: of good callbacks in this conversation Waters, Stephen Davis, Lawrence Moroney,

746
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 1: Oh man, I love it. Fans, you know, hey, you

747
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,800
Speaker 1: mentioned Jamal Williams at a b y. You give me

748
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: another wide receiver or ty and and or heck, give

749
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: you another running back that you seem to be much

750
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: higher on than the rest of the draft community. Alright, well,

751
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: wide receiver wise, I'm a Josh Reynolds fan. Um. I

752
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: know he dropped some passes um, and he certainly has

753
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: other wide receivers around him who who have been pretty

754
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: good over the years. But and you know, Christian Kirk

755
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 1: is certainly a young guy that's gonna be really good.

756
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: But when I watched Josh Reynolds play, he reminds me

757
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 1: another player that I really liked out of this draft,

758
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 1: out of the draft a number of years ago, which

759
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: is Marvin Jones. He's a guy that makes excellent adjustments

760
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: in terms of body control. Even though he has some

761
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: focus drops, He's a guy that makes amazing adjustments to

762
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 1: the football and can catch it well. He's also physical

763
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: and attacks the ball out of his breaks um. He

764
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: can make the first man miss, and I think that

765
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: he has the skills to become a sudden route runner

766
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 1: and I have him rated much higher than most people.

767
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: I know he's going to be one of my top

768
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: five UM wide receiver prospects in this draft. Well, it's

769
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: funny because I know that I know our own Lancer

770
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: line made the Marvin Jones comparison to and I watched

771
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds a little bit this morning. Now listening to you,

772
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: it makes me want to go back and watch him again,

773
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 1: go back and check him out. Check about at Wow,

774
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: that's bold. I love it. You had me at Marvin Jones. Hey, listen, pal,

775
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: I'm all in um can you talk to me? But okay,

776
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: So you you have your your website Matt waltan RSP

777
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 1: dot com. Uh, and in there you've got a lot

778
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: of your YouTube links as well, where you legitimately sit

779
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: down and and go through your process you break down

780
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: the film. Um, it's it's an absolute must watch. And

781
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: I remember coming across your work, you know, a couple

782
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: of years ago and loving it. But I have a

783
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 1: legit question for you. Why where do you get the music?

784
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: And why are you I mean it's like these soft

785
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: slow jams, like what's going on? It's it is so

786
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: bizarre to watch football tape breakdown with this like neo

787
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: jazz type, you know, music going on in the background.

788
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 1: Why are the music. Man. Yeah, it's kind of a

789
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: polarizing thing that I go back in. But see, I

790
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: used to be a jazz musician or I want to

791
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: be a jazz music for a while. So some of

792
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: that stuff made of mind. One of it's a former

793
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: roommate of mind, the a clinician who plays a lot

794
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: of due, does a lot of cool work. And some

795
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,400
Speaker 1: of it's just me just kind of doing experimenting with

796
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,600
Speaker 1: some of the film stuff. So unfortunately, you know, hey, look,

797
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm an entrepreneur. I do kind of

798
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: my own stuff with this particular project, and you know,

799
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: sometimes you sometimes you have some things that you try

800
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: out and you experiment with and people go some dude.

801
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: Some people are like I love it, and others are

802
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: like what's going on with Like I'm waiting for So

803
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 1: I'm kind of a a cross road with that. But

804
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: I appreciate the feedback, man, it is so interesting. I

805
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: highly recommend people to go find this stuff on YouTube.

806
00:41:41,360 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: But Matt, well, let's let's talk about the the rsp

807
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 1: UM again. You heard about what it is. Why should

808
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: people get it? Well, you know, you're really getting the

809
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: most comprehensive look at prospects, and it's based on talent,

810
00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:00,239
Speaker 1: not draft position. I don't try to I don't try

811
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 1: and guess where these guys are going to be drafted.

812
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to rank them based on where I

813
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: think they're gonna going around. I was the type of

814
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: guy who you know, had high rankings for Russell Wilson

815
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: before he you know, went to Seattle or Spencer Ware

816
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: and you know, so I look at guys based solely

817
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: on how they perform on the field, with a little

818
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 1: bit of a look at the combine and trying to

819
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: piece all of that together to match with the film.

820
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: So you're going to look at you're gonna get a

821
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,879
Speaker 1: two to three year look at a guy long term.

822
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 1: Plus when you get the RSP, you also get the

823
00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:38,399
Speaker 1: RSP post draft that comes with that, and I make

824
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: I bring I write that a week after the NFL

825
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: Draft so that you get to see kind of a

826
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: short term here's how they fit with these teams. Here's

827
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: a depth chart breakdown. Here are some rankings based on

828
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 1: you know, where I think where they've gone. And also

829
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna get nowadays, a three year um look at

830
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: players based on how I saw them in the past

831
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 1: and then updated as well. Um, so you get a

832
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: ton of information that you can use for multiple years

833
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: for your fantasy league. So when people are like, I

834
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: have no idea where that that guy came from, you

835
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,840
Speaker 1: can go look at yourn be the smartest guy in

836
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:21,479
Speaker 1: the room exactly and you and you can see where

837
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: the strengths are. It's great for trades, it's great for

838
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:27,640
Speaker 1: waiver wire pickups for dynasty leagues. So it's an absolute

839
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: fantastic resource in that regard is the price of my

840
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: right and saying that even cheaper right, uh now, ten

841
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: percent still goes to charity. Yes, that's right. It goes

842
00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: to an organization called Darkness to Light which they educate

843
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,960
Speaker 1: people to help them protect children from sexual abuse, so

844
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: you understand the dynamics of that, and and and and

845
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: it teaches people the dynamics of that and how to

846
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,799
Speaker 1: prevent it as well as how to address it when

847
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: it happens so it doesn't create more damage. And it

848
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: was something that was inspiring inspired me to do based

849
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: on what happened with the events of Penn State. We're

850
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: all football fans. We all want to see people, you know,

851
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: be able to address these situations better. Moving forward, and

852
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: this was the offshoot of that. All Right, the great

853
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 1: Matt Waldman. Find his work Matt and Waldman, rsp dot com.

854
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: It's very popular among the mats. Matt Miller from ESPN

855
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 1: loves it. Matt Harmon from right here in the NFL

856
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: Fantasy Podcast loves his work as well. And we'll do

857
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 1: would yeah, I would implore anybody to go out and

858
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: get this because one of the things that he's touching

859
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: on is the way you watch the draft, is that

860
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: you should because we all have a favorite team. You're like,

861
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 1: I hope, my I hope the Bears draft this guy,

862
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 1: this guy, this guy. But you also go through and

863
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 1: you see, for instance, like Leonard four Nette, like I

864
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: hope that he goes to this team because if he

865
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 1: ends up here, it's probably not gonna work out. It

866
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: will help the way you watch the draft in the

867
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, and it's going to help you

868
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: in fantasy. That's the big thing, of course. And thats

869
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: I love it. Matt Waldman, Matt and Waldman, rspeed dot com.

870
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for your time, man Hey, thank you for my pleasure.

871
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: All Right, gentlemen, So that was Matt Waldman, Alex Gillhard

872
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: love to kind of get your thoughts on on on

873
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: his breakdown of different players, you know, and maybe we

874
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,360
Speaker 1: start with Jamal Williams. That's the first guy that he

875
00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: had mentioned. But man, I'll tell you what I've seen enough,

876
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: you know, Jamal Williams game tape to to not come

877
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: away very impressed, and yet Matt Waldman seemed to really

878
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,800
Speaker 1: like him. What were your thoughts there? Well, I watched

879
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: Williams too, and there there I feel like I'm not

880
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: there are a couple of people in Waldman included that

881
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 1: are big fans of Williams and see him as one

882
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: of those steel guys of the draft. I have a

883
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: couple of other backs I like in that later tier

884
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: that I'm I'm gonna be keeping an eye on in rounds,

885
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, like four to six for teams to take

886
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: uh kind of in that Jordan Howard range um. William

887
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: Williams certainly is is. He does a lot of things right,

888
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: like I think Matt was saying, where he's got some

889
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: of the short range quick short range quickness and burst

890
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: to get away from people. He doesn't have tremendous long

891
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: speed or anything. But I mean, man in the right

892
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: in the right fit, he could be he could be

893
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,799
Speaker 1: worth watching. And if if Walden is behind the guy,

894
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: it usually helps bump him up a little bit for

895
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: sure rankings at the very least. Yeah. Absolutely, I mean

896
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: you know he's done the work anyways. Uh. Similarly, Yes,

897
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: I'm like I said a couple of weeks ago for

898
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 1: net Not Wow, that's what Matt said. So definitely heard

899
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 1: it here. And that's what I'm just quoting. You're not

900
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,840
Speaker 1: trying to you're not making it up, just reporting the facts.

901
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 1: Are his words, his exact words that you then said. Right.

902
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: I think that's how it works. That's how it works.

903
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: That's how it goes. Listen, stop shaking your head over there.

904
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm getting stopped. What you're lucky but no, I but

905
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: it just it just goes to show. Yes that it

906
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: a lot of it depends on where these running backs go.

907
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:55,640
Speaker 1: And I know that everybody wants to make the easy.

908
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: That's every Well, first of all, that's every player, right,

909
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean, well yeah, that's every player, but even more

910
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 1: so at the running back position, because everybody is like, oh,

911
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott, look what he did running back revolution. It's

912
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: back on. You're like, uh, if he didn't go to

913
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, he would not have been Rookie of the Year.

914
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: But you still but I mean, come on, it's it's

915
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: impossible to not have like do Zeke Elliott come out

916
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,280
Speaker 1: of college. Well no, I mean, he's a great running

917
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: back und percent, but he's not going to have the

918
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,040
Speaker 1: kind of success he would have had with a different

919
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 1: team last year. I see what I think of that

920
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: roadmap of words that just came out of the mouth.

921
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: But what I'm trying to say is a lot of

922
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: he's a great running back, but a lot of his

923
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,240
Speaker 1: ultimate success came from playing with a great team. And listen,

924
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 1: if four Net falls to the Raiders, then I will

925
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: completely do a one eight. I will draft in oh no.

926
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,279
Speaker 1: But and you know what, that's it's interesting because something

927
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 1: like that could happen because you look at some of

928
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 1: these teams and if you're gonna look at fit and

929
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: let's say that the Patriots do something crazy, end up

930
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: getting a top fifteen pick and they're like, we're gonna

931
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 1: go McCaffrey and somebody else likes Dalvin Cook, and then

932
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,479
Speaker 1: four NET starts sliding down and other team are looking

933
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:02,279
Speaker 1: because you know there's a team out there right now,

934
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: who's looking at the draft and being like, you know

935
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: what we're gonna We can't draft Mixing on Friday night

936
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: in prime time. We're gonna drab him, grab him in

937
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 1: the second round. Just silly, by the way, But that's

938
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 1: a different I mean, but you have to have It's

939
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: just one of those things like you have to take

940
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: that into account and who's gonna be able to win

941
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 1: the pr battle? Like to me, there's just a handful

942
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: of teams that are gonna be able to get away

943
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: with taking them. The Patriots would be one. The Patriots

944
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: perhaps I was thinking they've already said that they're not

945
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: they would be one of those teams because I think,

946
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: oh yeah, they would. They would actually insulate them. Well,

947
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: not only not only insulate them, but they're also people

948
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: wouldn't be up in arms because they'd say, well, look

949
00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: at Bill Belichick. What a genius, What a genius. Pittsburgh.

950
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh would be another one. Pittsburgh would be. But you know,

951
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: I'll say the thing about Leonard Fournette, though you're right,

952
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: he needs to go to the right fit, but I

953
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: think his talent is such that there I think the

954
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: fit is bigger than those people are are giving him

955
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,879
Speaker 1: credit for. It's like you said, Ezekiel Elliott. Look, there's

956
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: just no way you can get around the fact that

957
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: coming out of college he was an absolute beast. He's

958
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: an absolute beast, and in his margin for error is

959
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: so much greater than somebody you know, does, somebody like

960
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry, who I I like Derrick Henry. I like

961
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: him a lot, but his you know, going back to

962
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: what you're saying, the fit the player and the team fit.

963
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 1: I think that that margin of error is very slim

964
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 1: for somebody like Derrick Henry, whereas this actually pretty wide

965
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 1: for somebody like you know, Leonard for Nett and Christian

966
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: McCaffrey as well. No, that was quite the star. I

967
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 1: was just dead pan and turned to the camera to

968
00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 1: shake my head. Not because I honestly believe that McCaffrey

969
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: fits on more teams than for Net would. McCaffrey can

970
00:49:56,600 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: do so many different things. I mean, I like Dalvin

971
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: Cook over Leonard Fournette. What I mean, I've been saying

972
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 1: it for a while. I know, I know he didn't

973
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 1: have I know he didn't have a great combine. I

974
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,919
Speaker 1: know that, but I I because I think his skill

975
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 1: set um lends himself to doing more things, and maybe

976
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,840
Speaker 1: his his past protection skills will keep him from immediately

977
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:17,759
Speaker 1: being a three down back. But I still think he's

978
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: a guy that you will have more faith having on

979
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: the field in a passing situation than you would with Fournette.

980
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,840
Speaker 1: Right now, I love Christian McCaffrey, but to say that

981
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: he has more I just I disagree wholeheartedly with that,

982
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: only because he is a guy that once you get

983
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 1: to goal and goal goal to goal situations, I don't

984
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: think you can really trust him back there unless you're saying,

985
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: look what had percent for sure, we're gonna pass right now.

986
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: But he's he's not that deceptive because yeah, he can

987
00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 1: run between the tackles, and I and I've caped up

988
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 1: for him too, saying, yeah, he can run between the tackles,

989
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:56,399
Speaker 1: but in golden goal situations where people are crowding that line,

990
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be awfully from the one yard line or

991
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: just saying anywhere between first and uh first and goal

992
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 1: to go so up to the nine. But I think

993
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 1: it works in his favor that he's so versatile. He

994
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 1: could run the ball, he could catch the ball like

995
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: he could do there's a lot of different ways that

996
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: you could use him, but for for Net, he's got

997
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 1: to be running downhill. And if it's one of those

998
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: situations the defenses first and goal at the five, you

999
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,280
Speaker 1: give four net that ball three times, it's going in period,

1000
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like it takes all the

1001
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: guests work out of it. You just had to throw it,

1002
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: all right, fair enough, All right, listen, that's enough of that. Well,

1003
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: I think that's a that's you know what. I'll tell

1004
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:37,160
Speaker 1: you what. Let's pick up that conversation next week. Let's

Speaker 1: do it. Well, Actually you're on next week. I'm out

00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,160

1013
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:00,280

1030
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: your new binge listen podcast. What's the it is is

1031
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: from the producers of This American Life and Cereal Hello,

1032
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: and if you loved Cereal, you will love S Town.

1033
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: They actually did it sort of differently and that it's

1034
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 1: seven episodes which they released all at the same time,

1035
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 1: so you don't need the wait week by week to

1036
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: do it. Uh A an incredible I'm on halfway through

1037
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 1: episode I started last night as I was walking home

1038
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: from work, and I am now on episode six and

1039
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: I will be done with it by the end of

1040
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: the day. Um. The basic The basic premise is a

1041
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: reporter from New York UH travels down to a small

1042
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: rural town in Alabama to investigate an alleged murder and

1043
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: ends up getting himself tied up in something that seems

1044
00:53:38,440 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: far more sinister and nefarious. So we'll leave it at that, alright,

1045
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,479
Speaker 1: but go get it. Go download the whole thing, binge listen.

1046
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: You can't say binge watch rights, binge listening. Listen to

1047
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing. That seems sort of silly, but yeah,

1048
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: do you want to? So there you go. Whisk it

1049
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 1: from Wisconsin, al Skellhard, what's up? Well, I was gonna

1050
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: dap a podcast to but it's not going to be

1051
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: nearly exciting in Marx's. But I found Washington Post last

1052
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:09,400
Speaker 1: year did a podcast called Presidential that every episode looks

1053
00:54:09,560 --> 00:54:12,439
Speaker 1: at the life and character and UH in a nice

1054
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 1: little in depth profile of every former American president. So

1055
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: if you're nerding into history and stuff like that, like

1056
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: I am, it's a great listen. Like most of them,

1057
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: are thirty minutes to fifty minutes, and it's just good.

1058
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: They get the biographers of the reporters, people from the

1059
00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 1: Library of Congress providing all these interesting details and stuff

1060
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 1: to help paint these profiles the past president. So uh,

1061
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 1: definitely Daily depths to that. Daily adapts to the clay

1062
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: Bonds also, who had Uh, We're very excited for them.

1063
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,800
Speaker 1: I had to help walk their dog when Lauren was

1064
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 1: going into labor because we got out. We got a

1065
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: text from Clay Bond that morning and he said we

1066
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 1: planned literally everything except who was going to take care

1067
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: of the pets. So I had to go over there

1068
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: and kind of break into their apartment and walk the

1069
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: dog and feed the cats. But happy for them. And

1070
00:54:57,920 --> 00:54:59,920
Speaker 1: then one more quick Daily dap to the little girl

1071
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: who thought the broken down water heater was a real

1072
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 1: robot in a cul de sac with her dad and

1073
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 1: her dad or whoever was. It's really good. It's such

1074
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 1: a cute video, just like just melted my heart when

1075
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,799
Speaker 1: she gives the water heater a hug because she thinks

1076
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,520
Speaker 1: it's a robot. So if you haven't seen that video yet,

1077
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: I tweeted it or retweeted it yesterday, you can find

1078
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,920
Speaker 1: it there. Alright, great, I will Daily dap a Twitter

1079
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: account called at student athletes. Athletes has misspelled, but it's

1080
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: a student intentionally, and I'm sure it might be, but

1081
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 1: they have some funny as tweets. Man. Anyways, at student

Speaker 1: student Athletes. I I apologize. I know it's spelled wrong,

1084
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 1: but probably intentionally, but man, it is. It's funny. It's funny.

1085
00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: It's a caricature of a lot of student athlete tweets

1086
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 1: and they're funny. Anyways, I will also give a Daily

1087
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: Dap out to the League of Leagues. I thought I

1088
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: was going to be out, but then, like you know,

1089
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 1: Godfather three, they pulled me back in, mostly because I

1090
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: get the team with this man to my left here,

1091
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: Adam Rank. So Daily dapts to Adam Rank, who actually

1092
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 1: did the draft. I was furiously texting him back and

1093
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 1: forth while I have to work, but texting him. I

1094
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,359
Speaker 1: think I texted him about a hundred different times. Hey

1095
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 1: maybe we should go look at this guy. Hey, what

1096
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:22,880
Speaker 1: do you think about this guy? So Daily dapts to

1097
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: him for for putting up with my bs. But but

1098
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: it's it was a lot of fun and and Adam,

1099
00:56:28,800 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 1: I'll let you kind of fill in on that. But uh,

1100
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: for those of you who don't know, League of Leagues

1101
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 1: is a it's the three that is exactly right. It's

1102
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: a three sport draft, so you can draft in one draft,

1103
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 1: you're drafting baseball, basketball, and football guys and in any

1104
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: order you want. And also you can trade. Uh, you

1105
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 1: could trade, like, for example, you could trade Ezekiel Elliott

1106
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: for Mike Trout, which would be a terrible trade, but

1107
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 1: whatever you could trade. I mean you could trade football

1108
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: for basketball, basketball for baseball, etcetera, etcetera, cetera. It's an

1109
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: interesting concept and certainly one that has expanded, you know,

1110
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: um at least my view of like how fantasy works

1111
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: and in all of those things. But it's a very

1112
00:57:11,000 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: cool concept. It started by our buddy Jonah carry Cary

1113
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,520
Speaker 1: who started the league, and Dave Damaschik as well. It's

1114
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,920
Speaker 1: kind of their branchild and uh, I don't know's it's

1115
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:21,600
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun and kind of going through

1116
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: that whole draft process, I thought it was a lot

1117
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:25,640
Speaker 1: of fun. So even though I don't I wasn't the

1118
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: one making all the picks. I'll see that you were there. No, no, no,

1119
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 1: because you were you know, we were able to work

1120
00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 1: it out. I thought, I thought it worked well, real well.

1121
00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: I got up at a four thirty in the morning,

1122
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: At four o'clock in the morning, this was a live draft,

1123
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:39,320
Speaker 1: drove Vegas, drove out to Las Vegas for the ten

1124
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: am draft, and one of everybody's like, well, why didn't

1125
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: you go out the night before. It's like, because I

1126
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: know me, because I know that in Las Vegas I'm

1127
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 1: gonna be out till four and then I'm not gonna

1128
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: The last place I want to be, Hank want to

1129
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 1: be hanging out for a ten hour draft is the

1130
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: Vedara with a bunch of other do But I worked.

1131
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 1: I thought I worked out pretty well. And uh, I will.

1132
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 1: I will give a dap to uh Jonah Carry because

1133
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: he's really a nice guy, a sweet and gentleman. And

1134
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: the funniest thing is is, obviously you mentioned Dave Damask

1135
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: is in this in this League's cousin Sal the people

1136
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,240
Speaker 1: might know from the Jimmy Kimmel Show, is also in

1137
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 1: this league, and they both of them have ties to

1138
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons. Bill Simmons one after Jonah Carry Twitter, and

1139
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,720
Speaker 1: it took a while for everybody to start getting into

1140
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 1: those jokes. But it was hilarious. So I did. I

1141
00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: did want to stand up for and Jonah is he

1142
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: he's so unassuming and such a nice guy that it

1143
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: was like it was so out of left field. So

1144
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: h and the fact that Jonah in his article that

1145
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: Bill Simmons like attacked him for like first to Bill

1146
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,720
Speaker 1: Simmons for this would be this idea. Yes, that was

1147
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: the conjecture is that Simmons didn't read the article and

1148
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: then tweeted that and then eventually somebody probably pointed out like, hey,

1149
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: give you credit and it was two lady was pot committed.

1150
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: Uh so that was all that was. That was cool.

1151
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 1: I got to watch, you know, and we had the

1152
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 1: fourteenth picks who were on the wheel, so and we

1153
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: knew our strategy too of like going with we went

1154
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: all we went NBA with the first four picks, then

1155
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: we went to basketball. Cynthia Freeland on the Dave Damage

1156
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: Football Program this week said that we're studs. We actually

1157
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: did the right thing. She really loved how we approached

1158
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,439
Speaker 1: the draft. Fun of Dave. It's all over the place.

1159
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 1: That was typical check like even sitting there, and I

1160
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: was able to watch the Justice League trailer because it

1161
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: came out that day. I was able to watch it

1162
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: a great like and then go do our picks. And

1163
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: by the way, I like that Justice League. I love

1164
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 1: Ezra Miller's version of the Flash because I've kind of

1165
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: gotten sick of Grant Gustin and the c W Flash,

1166
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: so I'm ready for one of the other fifty two

Speaker 1: flashes that there are, So that's gonna be pretty good.

1168
00:59:48,440 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: And I'd also like to adapt the city of Las Vegas,

1169
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,479
Speaker 1: because now usually I would have to feel like, should

1170
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: I mention that I was in Vegas for the Streft, Like, hey,
