19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: But Adam Rain not enough to keep you from doing it. Exactly.

22
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: you a little bit about that. But we've had some

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: calls at him. We've met some callers who've been waiting

24
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: and waiting and waiting and waiting, and we need to

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: take their calls. You're unhappy. We're just gonna rapid fire

26
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: answers and the people you are. You are Ryan in Houston.

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: He has to figure out what he's doing in his

28
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: flex Ryan, what's up have it going? Guy? What's going on?

29
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: Not much? I'm playing in a ten team non PPR

30
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: league that we already drafted. Um I got uh ninth pick.

31
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: I picked up makes Fadden first, and I ended up

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: getting Steven Jackson my second running back. Fevers I'm playing

33
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: are Marshall and Harvin two flexes, and I've got if

34
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: you don't mind me, I have six people I got

35
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: to choose. These next two I got hit me mcgahey,

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Ben Kadla, Eric Decker, Peyton Hillis and Titus Young. All right,

37
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: let me go back. We got mcgahey, Tate Amendola, right,

38
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: Decker and Titus Young and Peyton Hillis yep. And can

39
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: I say something about Ryan Real quick ten team league

40
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: like what he did here? I think he's I think

41
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: he's done very solid. I think at some point this

42
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: Peyton Hillis character might even break into his starting lineup

43
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: as a running back, not just a flex. And I

44
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: know you're calling about the flex, so allow me right now.

45
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: I love I love Amendola too. That's a great pick.

46
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,679
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about Eric Decker for

47
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: a moment. Everybody has just kind of kissed Damarus Thomas

48
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 1: into this role as the number one receiver of the Broncos,

49
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: just believing like, oh, look, you just he's automatic, he's

50
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: plugged in, you know, like it's a maddened football game

51
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: and sometimes you have to bring in a little reality.

52
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: And I will say this, if you look at Damarus

53
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: Thomas is huge plays last year, watch the film. Those

54
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: plays happened because Tim Tebow extended the play and Damarrius

55
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: Thomas used his athleticism to break free from the defenders.

56
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: Look at the game against Minnesota, tim Tebow's running around,

57
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: he finds Damarrius Thomas, who's just managed to get open

58
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: because you can't cover this guy for twenty seconds. So

59
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: that's where a lot of his production came from, and

60
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: that's why he did better with Tim Tebow than he

61
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: did with Kyle Orton. Now, what Peyton Manning is gonna do,

62
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: He's gonna ask for somebody to be a precise route runner,

63
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: which is what Eric Decker is and Peyton Manning, as

64
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, wanted the Colts to draft Eric

65
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: Decker a couple of years ago. They've already been working together.

66
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: They've already got a chemistry. And Eric Decker is going

67
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: to be the number one sever for the Broncos. He

68
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: is gonna break into your lineup. He should start in

69
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: your flex spot. He will have a big game against

70
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: the Steelers because this game's at Denver, right, so that

71
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: means no Ryan Clark, He's gonna torch him. Well, he's

72
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: got two flex spots. He's got two flex spots. Got

73
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: two flex spots. I like Decker and one And you know,

74
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: obviously it's gonna be based on week to week. I

75
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: like mcgahey, although you're taking two Broncos there, I like

76
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: Amondola Bentate. It all depends on Arian Foster's health and

77
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: how much they're using them and who they're playing against.

78
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: But if I had to pick somebody right now the

79
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: two guys, I would have Decker one. I really think

80
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: Amndola could have a big year. Yeah, I really like.

81
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: I really like the way they're gonna use him. But

82
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: I agree with you Titus Young. I mean, we didn't

83
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: even mention him a lot of upside. I love. I

84
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: love when you're drafting late in your drafts. Ignore the

85
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: guys like Santana Moss, the curtain jerkers, the mid card jobbers,

86
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: who you know are not gonna do anything for you.

87
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: Take a guy with high upside like Titus Young. He's

88
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: gonna end up starting some games for you to you know.

89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 1: Our producer robbed his a, which is French. I was

90
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: corrected during the break. Yeah, yeah, very snobbish response that

91
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,679
Speaker 1: I got. You know, he was talking about the hotness

92
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: of Princess Leia and return of the Jedi. If you

93
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: had one flex spot and you gotta go Lea from

94
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: the beginning of Star Wars when our ship gets uh,

95
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: you know, invaded by Darth Vader or Lea from Java's palace.

96
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: Which one you've taken, the assertive Laya or the bikini Laya.

97
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: It's bikini La And I think I've talked about this

98
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: before in the past, you know. And I hate to

99
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: give I don't hate to give credit, but the show Friends,

100
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: an underrated show as far as I'm concerned, nailed it

101
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: when they were explaining this phenomena of guys about our

102
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: age who were young boys when Star Wars came out,

103
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: and as as the Star Wars trilogy grew, we grew

104
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: as young men and right about there was a perfect

105
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: storm of pre pubescent hormones and Princess Leias showing up

106
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: in that gold bikini that was just uh, an explosion

107
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: like the Death Star where it was just WHOA this woman?

108
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: It's just hot And she might not when we look

109
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: back in history, she may not be the most attractive

110
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: woman ever, but when you look at the time and place,

111
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 1: there was probably no more perfect moment than her showing

112
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: up at the palace when she did. Is it bad

113
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: if I said I was kind of hoping she would

114
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: slip in the rank corps would eat her. Oh, that's

115
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: too mean. I know I wanted the rank or to

116
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: just take out everybody and didn't where they put a

117
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: bone in his mouth or something. Isn't at how Luke

118
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: beat the rancorp. That's right. They trapped him with the

119
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: that's right, with the trapped in the garage door. We

120
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: have christ and Princess Leah could use Where's Where's her

121
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 1: using the force. That's a good point. We're gonna get

122
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: to that, and said Chris in New York has a

123
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: question about Michael Vick. Chris, what's up, gentlemen? Wonderful? How

124
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: are you? I'm doing great. I had my draft last

125
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: week and I went with right number two. I came

126
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: back with Adrian Peterson and Michael Vick. Um took a risk.

127
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: Ten you that then, and I know more now. But

128
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: I just wanted to see if I covered myself as

129
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: far as my team goes, and see if I needed

130
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: a need to make trades or pickups. But um, I

131
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: came back and got my gay heat. I got Gerhard's

132
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: backup ap because Rogers are Polston as Bryan deVie, Johnson

133
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: LaFell and Reggie Wayne So and my backup quick QB. So.

134
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: I think I covered myself pretty good, but I just

135
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: wanted to get your feedback on that. It's Chris right, yes, yes, Chris.

136
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something that Jake Cutler pick stroke

137
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: of genius because Michael Vick is gonna get hurt at

138
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: some point this season. I mean, he can't even last

139
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: the preseason games without hitting his hand on somebody's helmet

140
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: or walking off with a rib injury. Jake Cutler is

141
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: gonna have a big heear Him and Brandon Marshall are

142
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: going to be fantastic. I will I'm not gonna guarantee you,

143
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: but I would I would surmise that you'll be starting

144
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Cutler more than you're starting Michael Vick this year. And

145
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: another pick. I really like what you did picking up

146
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne because a couple of weeks ago, it looked

147
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: like Andy Luck was gonna really develop a relationship with

148
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: Austin Collie. But he's had his third concussion in twenty

149
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: two months and we don't even know if he's gonna

150
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: be able to play football again. I mean, it's a

151
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: serious injury, something that he's gonna have to look at.

152
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: So now it looks like Reggie Wayne is going to

153
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: be the Number one guy that's gonna be the guy

154
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: who will be the number who will be taking over

155
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: as the apple of Andy lux. I I look for

156
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: him to have a similar rebirth similar to the way

157
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: Steve Smith and Cam Newton developed that relationship last year.

158
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Reggie Wayne can do something, Simil. I'm not gonna I'm

159
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 1: not gonna guarantee you that he's gonna do what Steve

160
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: Smith did, but it will be pretty similar and he

161
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: will give you good production, especially when you look at

162
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: it from an average draft position point of view. Chris,

163
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: can I just tell you one thing that will make

164
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: you feel better before we let you go here. I

165
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: think that's gonna make you feel better. Uh. I think

166
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 1: he should feel good. That's a nice team. Well, but

167
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: I could tell that. You could tell in his voice

168
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: he's not real happy with the Peterson vic back to

169
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: back in the second and third round. I get it.

170
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: Cutler opens up with India at home, Okay. Then he's

171
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: got Green Bay, who, by the way, couldn't stop anybody

172
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: last year. Okay. And then in week three you're coming

173
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: back with St. Louis. You've got three various So let's

174
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: say that Michael vix out. Awhile with those ribs, I

175
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: think you can rest easier. I think you just plugged Cutler, Cutler, Cutler,

176
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: and you're fine. Yeah, it's not bad. I agree, And

177
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 1: the only reason I want to vick that earlier because

178
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: I would have ended up Brian would They would have

179
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: all been off the board, and I would have been

180
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: looked at Manning Rivers and I don't like and Romo,

181
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: and I don't like either either one of them. So

182
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: I went upside on it and I got really, you know,

183
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: I forgot to cover myself, but I just wanted to

184
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: get her opinion. You have your fantasy validation. I think

185
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: that was those were solid picks. Let's go to Don

186
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: take care of Chris. Let's go to Don in Philly

187
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: with a little w r RB questions, Don, Hey, how

188
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm in the twelve team, pr um, I want to

189
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: know what your next five after Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald.

190
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: Oh and in a non PPR or did you say

191
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: non PPR? Alright? Also, out of the five run effecks,

192
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: the number two options Stephen Jackson, Fred Jackson, Darrence Fowls,

193
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, Doug Mark. I would take Jamal Charles with

194
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson a close second. I think Fred Jackson's being

195
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: majorly undervalued in fantasy this year. What I like about

196
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles, though, Don, is that the guy got hurt

197
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: I believe in Week two against Detroit last year, he

198
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: had the entire regular season. This isn't a Peterson mennen

199
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: Hall situation where the guy got hurt in December. He

200
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: had the entire season to recovery. He's had the off season.

201
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: He's still a really young guy, and I don't think

202
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna be airing the ball out all

203
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: over the field. Give me Jamal Charles in that situation.

204
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: And Adam, do you want to take the wide receiver

205
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: conundrum here? Yeah, I'll take that. Don uh. If you

206
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: heard us or year, I was talking about Jimmy Graham

207
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: as being somebody who I would slot just below Calvin

208
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: Johnson when you're looking at just just receivers in general.

209
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna take Calvin Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald

210
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: off the board, some of the guys that I like

211
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: A j Green, who I am extremely high on because

212
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 1: to me, he seems like he's the He's Slater of

213
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals because he's a one man band, babe.

214
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: He's the only option there for Red Dalton, so I

215
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: love him a lot. This year. Julio Jones is a

216
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: guy who I'm really bullish on Brandon Marshall. We just

217
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 1: talked about Jay Cutler having a great season this year.

218
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: Part of it's because of Brandon Marshall, and he's gonna

219
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: be back. He's gonna be catching touchdowns this year. That's

220
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: what his problem was in Miami. He wasn't catching the touchdowns.

221
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: That will not be a problem this year. And then

222
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: I would go back to the Falcons that go to

223
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: Roddy White, and I realized having two receivers from the

224
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: same team that high up may seem a bit strange

225
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: that they're gonna air it out the Falcon They're they've

226
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 1: already decided with Dirk Cutter, they're gonna go with three receivers.

227
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: That's their base package. They're gonna go of three receivers.

228
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: Are not going to run the ball with Michael Turner

229
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: as much so I like him too. And then you know,

230
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,239
Speaker 1: then you start getting down to West Welker, Dre Johnson,

231
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: if I have to Greg Jennings, if he can overcome

232
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: his concussion problems, Shorty Nelson cool, Victor Cruz came nixt

233
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: you just went like twelve D. I'm going I want

234
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: to help don Out. I want to help don Out

235
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: because he's from Philly and his and his flyers did

236
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: such a great job of helping the Kings win a

237
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: Stanley cut this year. I want to help Donna, all right,

238
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: Chris and Maryland has a trade question? Chris, Hey, Chris,

239
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: I would say, is Leia in the bikini is the

240
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: number one fantasy option for anyone in the eight? Thank you?

241
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: Number one, even over Brigitte Nilsen, and over Brigitte Nilson

242
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: and Rocky four, Phoebe Cakes and Fast Times. If you're

243
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: taller than me, you can beat me up, then you've

244
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: got to go right down a couple alright, what about

245
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: what about Phoebe Kates and Fast Times at Richmond High?

246
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: He's fair enough, all right, So what's uh? You have

247
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 1: a trade question? Right, great question. I'm in the ten team,

248
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 1: kPr let me and let me give you my team

249
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: real quick. And I've only gotten one trade offer, and

250
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm wondering if I stew it. I have Stafford and

251
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: Eli as my quarterback. I have m J d and

252
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: I had him handcuffed with her Shark Jennings and then

253
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,839
Speaker 1: I have been well Jonathan Stewart and Michael Bush. My

254
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers are Roddy White, Jordy Nelson, Vincon Jackson, Nate Washington,

255
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 1: and Justin Blackman. And then a tight end. I have

256
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: Aaron her Nandez and fred Dadekay I've gotten? Is Aaron

257
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: her Nandez for marking? Would you do that? You know what?

258
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: Not only would I not do it? I almost want

259
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: to call up this young man who's trying to engineer

260
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: this trade from you and yell at him, how dare he?

261
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Hernandez? He's my number two tight end this year.

262
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: I think I think he's gonna have better numbers than

263
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski because they're now starting to run rushing place

264
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: for Aaron Hernandez because now that Ben Jarvis green Allis

265
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: is not there in New England, they don't have the

266
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: true like short yardage back, and you know, Tom Brady

267
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: is not gonna be calling his own number near the

268
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: end zone. Aaron Hernandez even if he gets like four

269
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: rushing touch that's a lot, that's a significant amount of touchdowns.

270
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna get those chances. And he's actually Bill Belichick's

271
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: favorite guy because the summer of Gronk thing, I don't

272
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: think did him any favors. And now he's in. Belichick's

273
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: always loved Hernandez, and now he's healthy, he's gonna be

274
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: I just oh I when I hear that people are

275
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: taking Gronkowski and sometimes in the first round, I'm like,

276
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: oh my god, I would I just love Aaron Hernandez

277
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: so much him in the six or seventh round, Yes,

278
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: I really. I Look at your team, Chris Stafford, Great Jennings.

279
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: The handcuff is good, Wells. Wells just returned to practice today.

280
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: Bush is a flex starter. If he's getting goal, I

281
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: go blush. Look at these receivers, Roddy White, Jordy Nelson.

282
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm not a big Vincent Jackson guy, and I will

283
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: I will be honest with you. Right there is a

284
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: three receiver. Dig It, dig it. This is a good team.

285
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: Let's like it. Let's go to well your namesake Adam

286
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: in Mississippi wants to talk a little Uh looks like

287
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: a little bit of running backs, Adam. Yeah. Man, Um,

288
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: I got a trade offer that I want to discussed.

289
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 1: And also, um, I'm in a toil team keeper league,

290
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: and I was wondering who you would keep out of

291
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: Greg Jennings and Jamal Charles. The roster is terrible and

292
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: those are my two best players. So did you say

293
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: it was a PPR or not? No, you are and

294
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: do you guys? Is it one of these things where

295
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: you have to give up a round number for the

296
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: guy or you just keeps round as your keeper. I

297
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: like I like Greg Jennings. I don't think you could

298
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: go wrong with either one. But Jamal Charles to me,

299
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: when you look at potential he was he was the

300
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: number five pick last year. That would be the guy

301
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: would keep. I I just I would be thinking upside

302
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: and I would be thinking long term of the guy

303
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: who has a chance of being on your team over

304
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: the next four years. A little bit younger, a little

305
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: bit younger, little bit younger, Jamala, what do you say, Elliott,

306
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: who do you go with? I? I I would definitely go

307
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: Jamal Charles. I love Greg. I mean, what's not to

308
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: like about Greg Jennings receiver from the Packers. Yeah, but

309
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 1: but again, Charles, a little bit younger. And did we

310
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: talk about this all the time? How many good lead

311
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: running backs are there? You know you can get a guy. Look, yeah,

312
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: Greg Jennings is great. I'd probably rather have a Cheamnicks

313
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: this year me personally, Okay, yeah, I'm I'm pretty But

314
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: how many guys can you say, and I can name

315
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: other receivers, how about Jordy Over, Greg Jennings possibly? Okay,

316
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: how many guys can you say I'd rather have this

317
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: running back than Jamal Charles? What? Maybe five? Yeah? You

318
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: know what, because it's it's the top three, Arian Foster, Ray,

319
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: Rice Lashaw McCoy, and then it's just the roll of

320
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: the dice with anybody else. You've got been fat and

321
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 1: who can't stay healthy. You've got c J who you

322
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: just don't know what player he is and even his

323
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: two preseason games have been polar opposite. You've got m

324
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: J D who's had this entire contract situation. You know

325
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: he's been a great player, but right now is a

326
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: little bit of a question. You've got Adrian Peterson coming

327
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: off a major uh surgery. I mean, you know, there's

328
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: and even even the other guys that you traditionally hung

329
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: your hat on, whether it was Michael Turner or Steven Jackson.

330
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk about Michael Turner being

331
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: thirty years old, getting less carries. Stephen Jackson's got to

332
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: hit the wall at some point. So to me go

333
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: with what the marketplace is not going to be able

334
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: to replenish you with it. And so keep the guy,

335
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: keep Jamal Charles, because the marketplace doesn't have a lot

336
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: of Jamal Charles for you to go out and get.

337
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: Whereas I can name ten guys right now that are

338
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,199
Speaker 1: on a par with Greg Jennings. You just name two

339
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: of them, Roddy White and Julio Jones on the same team.

340
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: And you're talking about Kim Nicks. I mean yeah, and

341
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: we were. You also mentioned earlier about about playing multiple

342
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: flex spots, and we've been talking a lot about you know,

343
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: who do you plug in and where do you plug

344
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: them in. I think it's time for some new rules,

345
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: new rules that are making a lot easier for where

346
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: you plug these guys in. We're gonna come back with that.

347
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,520

00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,000

355
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: your calls, a lot of good questions today, and uh,

356
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 1: some guys at him to have good teams. Man, we're

357
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: looking at some of the some smart picks out there. Man. Yeah,

358
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: some guys who made some good picks. They did make

359
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: bad decisions by having their draft so early, though. Don't

360
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 1: do it before the third preseason game. I implore you,

361
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: if you have a draft this week, say hey, everybody,

362
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: let's wait till Sunday, or let's wait a couple of days,

363
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: because you don't this This is the this is the

364
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: last game where the starters will put unless you're the Patriots,

365
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: and then you probably you know you're you're never playing

366
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: in the preseason. But don't do it. That's just not

367
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: a good it's not a good good rule of thumb.

368
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: We'll speaking of someone that doesn't really play in the preseason.

369
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 1: We have one of our fantasy editors here who it

370
00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: always takes him a few weeks to really get his

371
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: work going. I mean, let's be honest. Uh, you know, Marcus,

372
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant has been a solid player for us, but

373
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: what would you say about three or four weeks? It

374
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: takes Marcus to really getting the rhythm. I think you

375
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: hear a lot of editors talking about you need the fantasy,

376
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: callous and you really need to take the reps and

377
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: and really get into the mode of, like, you know,

378
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: reading the same content over and over again. I mean,

379
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: I know, there are only so many different ways you

380
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: can say, you know what, I really like Kobe Fleaner

381
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: this year. But you know what, you gotta get used

382
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: to it. You gotta you gotta kind of saunter into it. Yeah,

383
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: and Marcus, uh, you know, we're pleased to have you

384
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: in here with us to answer some questions. I know

385
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: the carpal fasciitis has been bothering you. That's one of

386
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: the reasons for your slow start. Well, you have to understand,

387
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: you have to understand, I've been working out on my

388
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: own for a while now, you know, I know, I

389
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: haven't been in camping and you know, with you guys

390
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: getting the reps every day, but I've been off on

391
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: the on the side, working out on my own, trying

392
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: to get my work in. But yeah, I always said

393
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: I was gonna be here. I can't let my guys down,

394
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: and and so now here I am I'm in camping.

395
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go. That's your hamstring. It's it's a

396
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: little bit tight, but we'll work it out. It'll be okay.

397
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: So we have FABS and Jason Smith in New York

398
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: for a fantasy football event. Are we gonna end up

399
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: Drew bled sewing them that? You know? That's one thing

400
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: I would like to you know, because I still hear

401
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: people referring to the whole Uh yeah, he wally pipped them,

402
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: you know, like, dude, that was nearly a hundred years ago,

403
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: pretty pretty close. We have kids, we have kids starting

404
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: college this fall who we're not alive when Kurt Cobain

405
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: was alive. So maybe it's time to retire the Wally

406
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: pip and move into a football example of the Blood

407
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: Cell where Tom Brady famously filled in for the injured

408
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: Drew Bled so and took the Patriots to superstart them

409
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: and they're still they're still rolling to this day, still

410
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 1: going to Super Bowl. So I I listened. If I'm

411
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: Jason Smith and Michael Fabiana, I wouldn't be hanging their hat.

412
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,199
Speaker 1: Here in Studio sixty six, which is the unofficial name

413
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: of the NFL Broadcast Podcast Center, where we we filmed

414
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: the Fantasy where we tape Fantasy Live, the Dave Dammage

415
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: check Football program. Some of the other things you might

416
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: have heard me, I think eisen two whatever. Everything. I've

417
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: been known to down a good mountain dew in here

418
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: any time. I know, any time I see a mountain

419
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: dew bottle up here. I know. Oh look, Elliott was

420
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: up here. I'll tell you what you're talking about changing

421
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: some sayings. We're talking about changing some rules too in fantasy.

422
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: And you know the game of football has changed, the

423
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: NFL has changed, and the way you play your fantasy league,

424
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: especially for you guys out there are doing leagues on

425
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: NFL dot Com. They're fully customizable. So Marcus, I want

426
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: to defer to you on this one first. If you

427
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: could change your rule for your fantasy league, what would

428
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 1: it be? Um, Well, I know you guys kind of

429
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: talked talked about this on Fantasy Live this morning, which

430
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: you know I liked Adam suggestion of of changing to

431
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: one running back. But if there was one thing I

432
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: would change about fantasy football, the thing that drives me

433
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: bananas every single year is when a quarterback throws a

434
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: pick six or a running back fumbles and it's picked

435
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: up and recovered for a touchdown. I want that to

436
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: stop hurting my fantasy defense. I want those points to

437
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: not affect my fantasy people. Oh I you know what,

438
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 1: because that's what Elliott had brought up on the show today.

439
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: Is that tell us that's okay? I mean, like I said,

440
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: I'm like the dad and teen Wolf just hanging out. Uh.

441
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: But that's a good point, Marcus. That's a different spend

442
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,239
Speaker 1: on a on a point that I have, which is

443
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: we all know how important turnovers are in a real

444
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: context of a real game. The game that I sided

445
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: was Dallas or Detroit at Dallas last year. Cowboys had

446
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: a seven to three halftime lead. You guys out there

447
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: that were fantasy owners of Dez Bryant Romo, We're going bonkers.

448
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: It was great. And then in the second half, Romo

449
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: those three picks, including a pick six to Bobby Carpenter,

450
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: and that only hurt Romo owners two points, you know,

451
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: each interception. But that was the game. I mean, that

452
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: was the game. And I think if it's if an

453
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: interception or a pick six is going to affect the

454
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 1: outcome of a game as much as it does, and

455
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 1: it should affect your fantasy teams performed, it's just as much.

456
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: So a pick six by a quarterback should be minus

457
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: six points on your quarterbacks fantasy points or or a

458
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: fumble return or a fumble return go on the other way,

459
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,360
Speaker 1: should be minus six points. I think turnovers in general

460
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: should cost more. I think two points for an interception

461
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 1: is not enough. If your quarterback throws three picks but

462
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: throws for four hundred and fifty yards, he still has

463
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: a big game, but three interceptions. Most teams lose when

464
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: their quarterback throws three interceptions. Why shouldn't your fantasy team

465
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 1: go down when you call and it? And it changes

466
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: the strategy of the game. Now you're looking at a

467
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 1: running back like Ben Jarvis Green Allison, You're thinking, hey,

468
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: this is a good guy. He's never fumbled, okay, so

469
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: he's not gonna hurt me. In that sense, I think

470
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: it brings more strategy in the game, and it also

471
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: brings it a little closer to real I actually like

472
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: that point, especially when you look at fantasy football, and

473
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: and as you look at the NFL as a whole,

474
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: and as you guys have touched on before, it is

475
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback driven league. I mean that's that's not a secret,

476
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 1: and that's part of the reason. I know some people

477
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: don't like it, but that's the reason I like having

478
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns be worth four points us just six points.

479
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: Because quarterbacks are going to throw more touchdowns than the

480
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: average guy is going to run for or catch. It's

481
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: nice to kind of have that weighted out. But at

482
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,199
Speaker 1: the same time, if we're really saying that quarterbacks are

483
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: so are are driving the game of fantasy football the

484
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: way they're driving the NFL, then they should be punished

485
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: more heavily for turning the ball over. You know, maybe

486
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's something where an interception is a bigger penalty

487
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: than a fumble because you know, as a a quarterback

488
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: you're likely to throw more interceptions and guys are from

489
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 1: the ball. But if if an interception, if if a

490
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks touchdown is worth four, then should the pick six

491
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: be minus for So that's a good point that you know,

492
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues play where the quarterbacks, you know,

493
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: production is worth six points in the touchdown. So I

494
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: think we could say whatever, whatever, whatever the touchdown and

495
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: whatever the touchdown passes, where the interception returned for a

496
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: touchdown would be worth the exact. Absolutely, what about you.

497
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: That's good. I like this. I would like to bench

498
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: my quarterback at halftime. If Tony Romo has got three

499
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the first half and he's got three hundred yards,

500
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: like you know what, I'm I'm setting him down for

501
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 1: the rest of the day because I don't want him

502
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: to go Tony Romo. I mean, no, I'm kidding. That's

503
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: that's that's not accurate. But what we said, and this

504
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: is what we brought up an NFL dot Com Fantasy Life,

505
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: is that the NFL has changed. The full back position

506
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: has become as antiquated as those crazy leg hirsh football

507
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 1: cards with the wild poses his legs kicking out or whatever.

508
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,719
Speaker 1: That's not what the NFL looks like anymore. We barely

509
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: have fullbacks, although somehow John Quin made it into the

510
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: NFL Network's Top one players of all of of two

511
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: thousand and twelve. That notwithstanding, the NFL has changed. We

512
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: talked about the Falcons, how they're moving to their basic set.

513
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be three receivers. That's most NFL teams.

514
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: That's what the Packers do, That's what pretty much all

515
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: the winning teams do. It's not an anomaly anymore. Let's

516
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: put it out there. Let's have you can you only

517
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: have to start one running back. And if we went

518
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: back to Chris and Maryland's team where he was talking

519
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: about his his second running back is Beanie Wells, Like,

520
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,439
Speaker 1: who should have to do that? It's so antiquated. Let

521
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: him have just start one running back. Then you have

522
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: two receivers I would say, two receivers, a tight end,

523
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: and then to other flex spots where you could go

524
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: another tight end, another receiver, or however, many wide receiver

525
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: spots since there are so many quality receivers out there.

526
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 1: Anything anything that gets us away from one running that

527
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: gets us away from two running backs, because there's just

528
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 1: not enough running backs. And I know some people and

529
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: I even saw this on Twitter who said, well what

530
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,959
Speaker 1: about team running backs? I'm like, absolutely enough, because at

531
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: that point you're like, we should have team quarterbacks. We

532
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: should have to, you know, just root for your team.

533
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: Then okay, that should be enough. For this is fantasy football.

534
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 1: We're breaking it down. So I say, get rid of

535
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: the two running back system, and my leagues where I

536
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: have control, I'm getting rid of that extra running back

537
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: and I'm putting in a flex spot hey, and it

538
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: would be great to not come here on serious radio

539
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: and have to talk to not only you two guys, okay,

540
00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: but everyone listening out there in their car. I don't

541
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about Delone Carter anymore. Okay,

542
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't. And if we played with one running back,

543
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have to sit here and bore you with

544
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: We would take Mike Shanahan out of the game exactly

545
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: like no more Evan Royster. Okay, I don't. I don't

546
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: want to do it. I don't want to Jackie battle

547
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 1: you today. Okay. It's it's death by a thousand paper.

548
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 1: It would he Marcus, you feel like taking some calls?

549
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: How we do that? The one other thing too, what

550
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: I would like to do and you know we're the NFL.

551
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: We should be able to do this. Let's let's make

552
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: one unified league because every one of these calls like

553
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm in a ten team PPR quarterback rush and touchdowns

554
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: worth triple I got you know what, I get it

555
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: all right, everybody's got a different league this. Let's just

556
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 1: do one standard league. I know you know what people

557
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: like I like it to this. I like it to that.

558
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: You're like you know what. I'm sorry, but we do

559
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 1: that just somehow, like how cow's milk became our like

560
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: the milk of default, even though every mammal produces it.

561
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: We just gotta make one fan n C league and

562
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: that's it. I'm sorry. You probably hate crunch with butter too,

563
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 1: How dare you? Yeah? I get I get what you're saying,

564
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: but I just want to ask if I would be

565
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: allowed to do this if we have one official sanctioned league,

566
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 1: can I be John Gruden? Then come on and say

567
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: in this league? Alright? Good deal? All right? Justin and

568
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: Virginia has a question on Jimmy Graham and de Marco Murray.

569
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: Justin you with us? Yeah, he guys, what's up? Man problem?

570
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm any keep releague. It's a half point PPR. And

571
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: I was wondering to get your feelings on whether you're

572
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: really you're really pushing it with that half point PPR. Right,

573
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: I was wondering if you could tell me whether I

574
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: should take Jimmy Grammer, de Marco Murray and what role

575
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: Felix goes? You think my plan in Dallas backfield this year? Okay?

576
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: When you say so, Jimmy Grammer, DeMarco Murray you're talking

577
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: about in your draft if we're talking in either or

578
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: at least for me, I would take Jimmy Graham all day.

579
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't think to Marco Murray's He's not in my

580
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: top twenty five players on the board, Jimmy Graham is.

581
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: So for me, that's a slam dunk. Marcus I him

582
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 1: might have leaned a little bit towards de Marco Murray

583
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: just because he will run the football and he has

584
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: looked better in the preseason than Felix Jones has, and

585
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:09,479
Speaker 1: the added benefit of being able to catch the football

586
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: out of the backfield I think gives him a slight end.

587
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,120
Speaker 1: I mean, Graham's gonna have a huge year. I just

588
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 1: like Murray being kind of a multifaceted guy. Yeah. But

589
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: the knock against de Marco Murray. And we had akbar

590
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: Baja Va Miller on our show earlier today from Fantasy

591
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: Life to pause it's tough to pause. Uh. He doesn't

592
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: like the Cowboys offensive line and he thinks that's a

593
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 1: problem and that's why he would steer away from him.

594
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: What say you? I mean, I think that's definitely a concern,

595
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. But I like the way

596
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: they use de Marco Murray. And he was having a

597
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: fantastic year last year until he got hurt and had

598
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: to miss so many games. But if he comes back

599
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: and he's healthy this year. For some reason, I don't

600
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: know what it is, they have been trying to move

601
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: Felix Jones out of that spot for a while now,

602
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 1: and it looks like he's kind of played himself out

603
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: of getting more touches. And so I think as long

604
00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: as Murray is healthy, I think they're gonna find a

605
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: lot of different way to try to get the ball

606
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: in his hands. And so I think that, you know,

607
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: in a PPR situation, the fact that he can run it,

608
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: that he can catch it gives him a little extra

609
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: addic value. What's interesting is I think you can get both.

610
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: If you're in a ten team league in the Snake Draft,

611
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: you have an early pick in the first round of

612
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: late pick in the second round, you may be able

613
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: to to get Graham if somebody in your league is

614
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: gonna jump on Cronk first. You know, say at the

615
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: fourteenth overall, someone jumps on Gronk, you may be able

616
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: to get Graham at eighteenth overall. And then again it

617
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: being a snake draft. That would mean in the third

618
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,280
Speaker 1: round you're coming back early. You may be able to

619
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: get to Marco Murray early in the third round. So

620
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: if it's a if it's a deal where you like

621
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: both players, I think that you can get them both.

622
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: But you better move on Graham first because I don't

623
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: see Murray going ahead of Graham in most drafts. Uh.

624
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: Craig in DC question on Jeff Demps, Is that right,

625
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: Craig you're calling Craig dropped us. I guess he decided

626
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: and you didn't want to talk about Depps. He's like,

627
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't find a more obscure player to talk about.

628
00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 1: Ronaldo Niemia. Yeah, I know he just got signed. Maybe

629
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: Craig's listening. Uh. If you're playing in a league that

630
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: has return yardage, he'll be a force for you. Otherwise

631
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Shane for Rain or Stephen Ridley. God,

632
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 1: that's a that's a tough situation to figure out that.

633
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: Jim in Ohio, I got a question about Foster Rice

634
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:17,480
Speaker 1: and Megatron. Jim, how you doing? Thanks for taking my call?

635
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: No problem. In our league, we still have to play

636
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: two running backs. If I had to play one like

637
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: you guys are talking about. It makes this a lot easier.

638
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: But I can keep two of the three between Rice,

639
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 1: Foster and Megatron. I'd like to hear your talks on that.

640
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: Thanks Rice Foster and he gets to keep two of those.

641
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think you go Foster and

642
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,239
Speaker 1: Rice without a doubt. I mean, you you lock up

643
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: two top notch running backs, you know. I mean, Megatron

644
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 1: is fantastic and he likely will be the top receiver

645
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: in fantasy football again this year, despite what Michael Fabiano

646
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: might say about that. But um, you know, receivers nowadays

647
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 1: because the league is so passing oriented, I mean they are,

648
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: there are so many of them that that you can get.

649
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: You're not gonna get another Megatron, I'm not gonna fool

650
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: you on that, but you can get guys with a

651
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 1: lot of quality who can produce for you. Meanwhile, you're

652
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: talking about holding onto two, you know, the top three

653
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: running backs in fantasy football, So those are your options.

654
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: I think you go Foster, Rice all the way, and

655
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: then you you worry about getting quarterbacks and receivers on

656
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: draft day. Adam, Yeah, I would absolutely agree with that,

657
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: because you look at your options, you could find three

658
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: pretty good receivers. Let's say you have Rice Foster and

659
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: you end up with Julio Jones. That's pretty good. But

660
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,719
Speaker 1: you let's say you go with Foster Megatron and you

661
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: end up with a question mark. I'm gonna think of

662
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: a guy who falls in the second round, maybe Darren mcfa. Man,

663
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: it's still still pretty close. I still I still like

664
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,239
Speaker 1: locking up the two of the three sure bets just

665
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: because of what I'm thinking. Your other opponents look like

666
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: what you're the rest of the guys in your league

667
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: who they're gonna have to start it running back? Because

668
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 1: you've locked up these two guys, two guys who would

669
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: be the top two of the top four picks in

670
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: the draft. Yeah, I gotta I gotta go with the

671
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: running backs. Well, I think what you're talking about here

672
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:08,080
Speaker 1: is the discrepancy between the options. So for example, if

673
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: we go Marcus with yours and you say, all right,

674
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep the running backs and I'm gonna let

675
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 1: Megatron go, and I replaced him with a Keem Knicks, Okay, well,

676
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 1: Keem Knicks may end up with thirteen hundred yards and

677
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: Megatron with fift hundred, or Megatron with fourteen hundred and

678
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: a Keem Knicks with twelve eighty. You're just not gonna

679
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: be losing that much production by doing that. Whereas if

680
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: you drop one of these running backs and you end

681
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: up getting a Michael Turner and Michael Turner only gets

682
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: you a hund two ten carries, he's not a home

683
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:44,720
Speaker 1: run hitter, or you get a Stephen Jackson and Stephen

684
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: Jackson gets hurt because he's he's getting close to, you know,

685
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: to the end of the line. You know, it's a

686
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: huge drop between Ray Rice who's gonna get you eighteen

687
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,439
Speaker 1: hundred all purpose yards and a guy who's gonna maybe

688
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: gain eight hundred yards rushing. So I'm with you. I

689
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: would keep the guys that are hard to find. We

690
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: talked about this with an earlier caller with Jamal Charles

691
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: and the Keeper League. It was Jamal Charles versus Greg Jennings.

692
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: What is the marketplace is going to be able to

693
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: provide you with wide receivers? Right, So, if you've got

694
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: two great running backs, I don't think you let go

695
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: of one of them because the marketplace is not going

696
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: to provide you was another great back. Here's the thing

697
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 1: that that's kind of. I understand if you step back

698
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: and look at it, it it seems counterintuitive. I mean, for

699
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: for a decade ago, we were talking about a running

700
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: back driven league and you were getting guys at the

701
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: top of the draft, you know, whether it was you know,

702
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: a Marshall fall Priest, Priest Holmes, those kind of guys.

703
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: Everybody was rushing to get those guys with their first

704
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: round draft pick. Now we're in a situation where the

705
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 1: big stars fantasy wise are Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady

706
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: and Calvin Johnson and so on and so forth. But

707
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: it still makes sense. It makes even more sense now

708
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,280
Speaker 1: to go out and get a running back early, especially

709
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 1: if you have one of those top three or four

710
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: picks in the draft, because they are so scarce now

711
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: that you know. Even as look, if go into a

712
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: draft and Aaron Rodgers goes number one overall, nobody's gonna

713
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: make fun of you. Nobody's gonna think you're dumb for that.

714
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: But I think the smart money is still going after

715
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: an Arian Foster or Ray Rice just because, as you

716
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: you mentioned, Elliott, the drop off from those top tier

717
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: guys to the next level of running backs is so

718
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: drastic that you really feel like you missed out on

719
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: something if you didn't get one them. Can you stay

720
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: with us for another segment because I want to tell

721
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: you also when you make a point, you start closing

722
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: your eyes like you did. You know, You're not the

723
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,760
Speaker 1: first person you remind me of like when PBS shows

724
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: like a Jeffrey Osborne concert and he's really getting into

725
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,239
Speaker 1: on the Wings of Love and he closes his eyes. Man,

726
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: which I want to go in with him on like

727
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: a chicken franchise with that name. Fantastic. That's that's ridiculous.

728
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 1: On that note, we need to take a break. We'll

729
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: take morerior calls after the break. But an NFL Fantasy

730

731

00:36:54,360 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 1: gonna readdress NFL Fancy'd be back in the sec. Now

00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: don't push me on Rat like I don't know my

740
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: eighties hair Metal, lay It Down Down. I like lack

741
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: of communication as an obscure Rats song. But yeah, there

742
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: are another band that's out there. I don't think they're

743
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: playing with Stephen Pearcy, but another band out They're still

744

Speaker 1: living the dream. I love these guys. Don't don't let

745
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: it go, keep it, keep playing well. We were talking

746
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: offline about more rules changes, and one that got kicked

747
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: around was if you block a kick, if your fantasy

748
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: defense blocks a kick, why not get three points for that?

749
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, these are just little things. You know.

750
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: When we were kids and we played board games or whatever,

751
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: we used to always change the rules. Obviously can't do

752
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: that with video games. But even some video games, you

753
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: can go on there and change the options so that

754
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:14,959
Speaker 1: you, you you know what I mean, play faster. You played

755
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: freshman on college football, don't you. No, I don't like

756
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: the sports games that much. What I know, I'm one

757
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: of those weird people that works in sports. But I'm

758
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: playing like Star Wars Battlefront. I've said it before. I'm

759
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: a big fan of that game, huge fan. I like

760
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: the obscure games like we Your Submarine and no one

761
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: buys the title and they don't repeat it, and you know,

762
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: things off the market within like a month. I see,

763
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 1: I've dug out my old Nintendo and I'm you know,

764
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: have been firing up old super Tech Mobil. Oh. Now

765
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: that now that is one sports game. That is the

766
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: greatest sports video game of all time. Fight anyone who

767
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:52,720
Speaker 1: says differently, I agree, say excite by it is better.

768
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: See you just want to start a fight? I do. So,

769
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: you guys want to take a few more calls? We got,

770
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 1: we got some people here. Let's do it all right.

771
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: Eric in South Carolina questioned about some running backs. Eric,

772
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 1: what's up? How you doing good? Good? Um? I just

773
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keeper league. But I'm not really worried about

774
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: the keeper. I'm just looking to see which one of

775
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: these guys you take to do some work this year.

776
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: Uh Smith Spiller or Redman? Kevin Smith as in Detroit

777
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 1: Lion Ah, Kevin Smith, C. J. Spiller or Isaac Redman

778
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: was at the third piste. Um I would I'm leaning

779
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: towards Kevin Smith right now. Um, you know, the the

780
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: Lion's running back situation is kind of a borderline disaster

781
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: your apartment pretty much. Yeah, Um, you know they're having

782
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 1: a hard time keeping guys healthy. But Kevin Smith has

783
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: kind of been the one consistent guy back there, and um,

784
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: what has really encouraged me about him is the fact

785
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: that he is he's trying to integrate himself into the

786
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: passing game, because I think that's the only way you

787
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: succeed as as a running back in Detroit, and he's

788
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: he's doing well with blitz pick up. He's catching the

789
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:00,479
Speaker 1: ball out of the backfield, and especially if you're playing

790
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 1: in a PPR league, the fact that he's he's gonna

791
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:04,880
Speaker 1: get some carries just because they've got to run the

792
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: ball to keep defenses honest. But the fact that he

793
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: can catch the ball out of the backfield considering how

794
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 1: much the Lions are gonna spread it out and throw

795
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: it around. You don't know what you have instig unknown, right.

796
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to see Jovid Best come back, but it's

797
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: just hard to imagine he's going to be back after

798
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 1: so many concussions in such a short period of time.

799
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: I mean, with Isaac Redman, Um, you know, Richard Mendenhall

800
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: eventually is going to be the guy there, and Jonathan

801
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: Dwyer's actually played really well in the preseason, makes me

802
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: wonder what his future is going to be. And as

803
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: much as the Bills say they like C. J. Spiller,

804
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 1: they haven't found a really, really a way to use

805
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 1: him yet. So I think Kevin Smith's kind of the

806
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: one guy in that group that has something of a

807
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 1: defined role and is in an offense that's gonna score

808
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 1: a lot of points. All that being said, because the

809
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: Lions do throw the ball sixty six percent of the time,

810
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,959
Speaker 1: which led the NFL last year, like Spiller is gonna

811
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 1: find a way to get back into the mix. He

812
00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: earned himself some playing time last year filling in for

813
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: Fred Jackson, and the Bills did find some ways to

814
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 1: get an the ball. Now with him and Fred Jackson

815
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 1: will be able to mix it up a little bit.

816
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: I don't see any of these guys much more than

817
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: a flex option, but Spiller, because I like the upside

818
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: and his ability to make place, I would go with him.

819
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 1: We have Bob and Tampa with a question on Darren Sprowls, Bob,

820
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: what's happening manpr and we get return yours. I had

821
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: Darren spars last year and he gave me more return

822
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: points than any other running back. Can I expect the

823
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: same this year? You know, it's it's always tough to

824
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: predict special teams, and I say that some of the

825
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 1: greatest returners in league history, they they'll have an incredible year.

826
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: Look at Dante Hall, you know that one year. Now

827
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he never returned again, but I think

828
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: if you added up his return touchdowns after that one year,

829
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they added up to the

830
00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 1: amount of the Chiefs offense he was. And now Devin

831
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:58,280
Speaker 1: Hester has been a little bit of an anomaly. Darren

832
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 1: Sproles got you start off on the right foot last year,

833
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: had the part return against the Packers on kickoff night.

834
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: But being able to predict whether a guy can do it,

835
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 1: especially as he gets later in his career, there just

836
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: aren't a lot of Brian Mitchell type players that get

837
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: you return touchdowns, and they're late twenties, early thirties. So

838
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 1: for me to be able to predict and say Darren

839
00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: Sprawls is going to do that again, I can't. But

840
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: all that being said, who can you predict? Who can

841
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: you predict? So is there is I would feel more

842
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:32,200
Speaker 1: comfortable with Sprowls than anybody else. Is there an issue

843
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:37,439
Speaker 1: about opportunity there? Because let's say the Saints defense isn't

844
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: gonna be as good with all the suspensions and everything,

845
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,440
Speaker 1: they give up a lot of points, a lot more

846
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: opportunities return kicks. I don't know if that's something that

847
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: you factor in. So I just look at what Sprowls

848
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: did last year and if you're playing in a PPR

849
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: and the return yard, it's is just a bonus to me. Yeah,

850
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 1: I would. I would target him pretty high in your

851
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: draft if you guys are drafting. If you guys drafting

852
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: Darren Sprawls, uh without the return yards? What round? Um?

853
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: I would look at Sprowls maybe around seven or eight.

854
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: I think seven or eight. Yeah, I mean I think

855
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,680
Speaker 1: I like I like multifaceted guys. I like guys who

856
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 1: can do a lot of things. And Darren Sprawls, I

857
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: think they're in Sprawls is. I think he gets overlooked.

858
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,560
Speaker 1: I think he gets forgotten. And I think you'll go

859
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: higher than eight. You think you'll go higher than that? Yeah? Yeah,

860
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna come off the board around the sixth round. Wow,

861
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: and that and and you guys like him too. Well,

862
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 1: I'm understanding where he's probably gonna come off the board. Yeah,

863
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: and I'm and I'm saying without the return yards. Now

864
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: you throw in the fact that if he gets you

865
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: a part return touchdown or two, and that's that's a

866
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: that's an interesting take. You know a lot of times

867
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: in most leagues the defense gets credit for that stuff.

868
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: But you know, if Sprawls gets to return yards and

869
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: he gets to touchdowns, I think he's got to be

870
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: a fourth or fifth rounder. He has to be because

871
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: how much he's involved in that offense and how much

872
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 1: he's on the field. And I don't think any of

873
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: us really expect him to have the monster year that

874
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: he had last season. Okay, Mike in New York is

875
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: on with this, Mike, what's going on? I thought this

876
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: was gonna be Fabiano for sure, Julio Jones, de Marco Murray,

877
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: and like, who do you like the best out of that?

878
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 1: Julio Jones easily number one. Julio Jones I would probably take.

879
00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, DeMarco Murray, you were just gonna tam

880
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: I know, but man, I'm really big on Julio Jones

881
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 1: this year. So he like Julio Jones more than he liked.

882
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham. Yes, yes, that's the wrong answer, says, you know,

883
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: I think Julio Jones is gonna have a phenomenal season.

884
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think one he is ready to take

885
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: that step. I mean, this is a guy who said

886
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 1: last year he played into like a five or six,

887
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: and this year he thinks he's gonna be a ten.

888
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: And if you just judge by what he's done in

889
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: the first couple of preseason games, man, I really think

890
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,399
Speaker 1: he's ready to do that. Add to with it, Roddy

891
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: White is kind of voluntarily giving up some targets. He

892
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be targeted as much as he was

893
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: last year. Felt like he was kind of overworked in

894
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,439
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. They're going to a three wide sets,

895
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: so they're gonna throw the ball a whole lot more

896
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 1: this year. I just think Julio Jones is a beast.

897
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: Where do you guys take Julio Jones in the draft for?

898
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,359
Speaker 1: Because I agree with you, I would take Julio Jones

899
00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 1: out of these three, which I'm kind of contradicting myself

900
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: when I talked about running backs in the dearth of

901
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 1: of lead backs, But to me. The difference between Julio

902
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 1: Jones and DeMarco Murray is great enough that forget their position.

903
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: Julio Jones for me is a clear cut choice. But

904
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: where do you take him the draft? I take Julio

905
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: Jones in the second round, second round, mid second round,

906
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 1: probably mid second round. Yeah, yeah, he used a second

907
00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: rounder for for me. Yeah yeah, I think I would

908
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: have Julio Jones probably around the eighteenth overall pick if

909
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: I had to put it right now, Jeff in New Jersey,

910
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,839
Speaker 1: Time for one more call? What's going on? Jeff? Hey,

911
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 1: how's it going? Guys? You gotta keep a question for you? Uh?

912
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: I want to keep two running back and I have

913
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: these four. I have fort Charles, Matthews and Sprawls, Fort Charles,

914
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: Matthews and Sprawls. That one is easy for me. I'm

915
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: going fourt and Charles. I was gonna go Charles and Sprawls.

916
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: Charles Sprawls over four Charles. Yeah, okay, Charles is gonna

917
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 1: be the unanimous one. Michael Bush makes me nervous about

918
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: Matt Forte doesn't score. He's never scored a lot of touchdowns.

919
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: He's always had Guys, they're taking touchdowns away from him

920
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: any ways, but he does so much both running and

921
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: receiving the yard it's just adds up. I mean, you

922
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: look at a guy who rushes for forty six yards

923
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: but gets a touchdown, and you're like, yeah, but you

924
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,879
Speaker 1: know Forte gets like a seventy rushing yards. He'll get

925
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:50,120
Speaker 1: like fifty. So it seems like he gets twelve points

926
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: like every game, like just by not scoring a touchdown.

927
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 1: And then you have the added bonus and sometimes you

928
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: will score touchdown Forte for me, Yeah, FOURT and Charles

929
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 1: and you know, with both those guys, and we've been

930
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,919
Speaker 1: talking all show about the dearth of the lead back,

931
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: Matt Forte is one of those guys who's involved in

932
00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:11,719
Speaker 1: the passing game and and he's that guy that can

933
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: take a screen pass and turn into a sixty or

934
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:16,439
Speaker 1: seventy yard touched And I'm not saying Sprawls can't do that,

935
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: but his sprawl is gonna get the same number of

936
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: touches and looks and his offense as Matt Forte is

937
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: gonna get. In the Bears offense, I don't know if

938
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 1: you could say that. I don't know. Pierre Thomas and

939
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram have had their injury problems, which means, you know,

940
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,319
Speaker 1: Sprawls will say anything about him, but he stays healthy.

941
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: Stay dropper. Why don't you just throw Chris Ivory? How

942
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 1: about Dalton Hilliard? Hey? You know Deuce McAllister by your Pantera?
